SPCA Shake, Rattle and Roll Celebrity Dance Competition The ground isn’t the only thing shaking in Charlottesville! Seven Charlottesville celebrities are hard at work preparing to “Shake, Rattle and Roll” at the Charlottesville-albemarle SPCa’s Critter Ball. Back by popular demand, the highlight of the Critter Ball will be the fifties themed “Shake, Rattle and Roll Dance Competition.”

On Saturday, October 29, 2011, local

celebrities and community leaders, paired with professional dancers, will be “Shaking it” on the dance floor in an effort to raise funds to help the animals.

This year’s event marks a Whole Lotta Lovin’ in our community as Charlottesville-albemarle celebrates five full years as a No Kill Community. Over the last five years, with the community’s support, the SPCa has: • Found homes for more than 20,000 pets; • Cared for more than 23,000 animals at the SPCa facility; • Spayed and neutered more than 25,000 dogs and cats; • Provided life-saving medical care to more than 12,000 dogs and cats; and • Reunited more than 4,000 lost pets with their owners.

National Natural Landmark. The Big Woods Walk will begin at the Montpelier Visitor Center at 2:00 p.m. Call 540-672-2728.

This incredible community achievement will be celebrated at Slaughter Gym on the UVa grounds, which will be transformed into a fifties Sock Hop, complete with classic cars and a jukebox playing classic fifties tunes.

If you cannot attend the event, you can still support the SPCa by going to www.SPCaCritterBall.com and voting for your favorite Charlottesville dancer and their animal mascot.

The Critter Ball beings at 6:30 p.m. and features a cocktail reception and silent auction, dinner, live auction and the feature event. Individual tickets are $250 per person and table sponsorships are available. For more information, contact Lisa Lane at 434-964-3305 or email llane@caspca.org.

Median sales price indicates the price at the middle of the market of properties that sold. Half of the homes sold were above that price and half were below.

The Bottom Line: Our market is slowly absorbing existing inventory, as we see inventory levels continue to decrease. Affordability is the highlight so far this year, as evidenced by a 17.27% increase year to date in the number of sales for homes priced under $200,000. REALTORS® understand the current market and are experts in evaluating your unique needs.

As we move into the fourth quarter, sellers will compete with historically lighter buyer traffic, making it essential to come on market at the right time and at the right price. It is still vital to consult a REALTOR® to prepare a thorough analysis of your options.

This 2011 3rd Quarter Market Report is produced by the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® using data from the CAAR MLS. For more information on this report or the real estate market, pick up a copy of the CAAR Real Estate Weekly, visit www.caar.com, or contact your REALTOR®.

Currently, there are 3,239 homes on the market, compared to 3,506 at this time one year ago. This continual float down of active inventory represents progress toward what is considered a balanced, neither buyer’s nor seller’s advantaged, market of 2,000 to 2,500 listings. The median price of homes sold so far in 2011 is $230,750, which is down 7.3% from the same period last year.

The average Days on Market (DOM) of active listings is 108 days in the third quarter—a 5.9% decrease from previous quarter— and 117 days for the year to date, remaining unchanged since the same period last year. 2011 CAAR President Barbara McMurry observes, “It is mixed news this quarter. We are continuing to see stabilization in our local market, as evidenced by our average DOM and decreasing inventory. However, prices remain remain weak despite ideal conditions.”

Inventory continues on the decline and is 7.6% down from the same time last year. There are fewer new listings coming on the market, down 26.8% from 1,990 in the second quarter to 1,457 in this quarter. The year to date year-over-year comparison shows a decrease of 9.1% in new listings. These factors, coupled with lower median sales prices are helping to improve the absorption rate. “However, there is still caution with predicting price stability and pace of sales until we reach what would be considered historically level inventory,” cautions Brad Conner, 2011 CAAR President-Elect.

Housing affordability continues to be the positive aspect of this market. There are 1,022 homes for sale at $200,000 or less. The sale of condos and townhomes is still an attractive options for buyers in this market. The sale of attached homes in the City of Charlottesville increased 11% compared to the previous year.

The local market has taken advantage of stabilizing home prices as well as historically low mortgage rates, offering many the realization of home ownership. We will continue to monitor these factors. Any declines in the health of the regional economy and access to home loans could continue to impact the sustainability of incremental increases and decreases month to month in the marketplace. For now, we will keep watching the inventory of homes for sale and the number of foreclosures coming into our local market. If we see inventory levels continue to decline and the pace of foreclosures stays steady, it is logical, although not predictable, to see prices begin to inch upward.

By Marilyn PriBus

Charlottesville’s annual Martha’s Market is a very special opportunity to have some wonderful shopping fun while supporting The Women’s Committee of Martha Jefferson Hospital (MJH) in one of the community’s most successful fundraisers. The Committee has been busy preparing for the Market for the past year.

“I compare my excitement to planning a wedding,” declares Terri Bailey, the endlessly enthusiastic Chair of this year’s Market. She says the efforts of the dedicated members of the committee have laid the groundwork for a joyous and festive occasion. For example, Beth Wertheim is this year’s Decoration Chair and Bailey says the results are well worth the effort. “Our Market will have the look and feel of a charming and lovely garden oasis,” she says. “We are thankful for

Snow’s Garden Center in helping us to turn our vision into such a beautiful reality.”

The Market will be a three-day delight, with boutique-type merchandise from all over the country which has been chosen to have a variety of price ranges to appeal to every shopper including clothing, jewelry, toys, gifts, gourmet foods, home furnishings and much, much more. Last year’s Market brought in more than $250,000 to benefit MJH programs. That’s a quarter of a million dollars!

In fact, over the past 17 years, through the tremendous success of Martha’s Market, the In The Pink Tennis Tournament and the annual Martha Jefferson 8K Run and

4K Walk, The Women’s Committee has raised nearly $3 million to benefit areas such as breast health, technology, women’s midlife health, heart disease and outreach to underserved populations.

Outstanding Vendors Are The Key Purveyors of everything from jewelry to women’s fashion, games, toys, antiques and home décor will make their way to Charlottesville from as far as New York, Illinois and Florida as the John Paul Jones Center is transformed into an amazing shopping galleria. There will be nearly 70 vendors and about one-third are first-time participants. The Women’s Committee has a Vendor Jury to help

the Charlottesville area. Second, The Women’s Committee is the best organized and most helpful of any shows we exhibit at, hands down, and we’ve made many wonderful friends over the past five years. Last, the shoppers have responded in a very positive way to our jewelry and accessories line and we have a very loyal customer base who look for us every year.”

J.L. Lane/Crossing Borders of Washington, D.C., specializing in handmade handbags, jackets, shawls and accessories, will return for their third year. “Our primary emphasis is on supporting women in Vietnam, India and Laos through education, business training and micro-finance,”

explains Jennifer Woodsmall Larson, the daughter in the mother/daughter team who founded the company.

“We very much believe in empowering women, whether in the States or abroad, and so are committed to supporting The Women’s Committee of MJH through participation in Martha’s Market.”

One of the new vendors this year is Janet Egan Designs from South Dartmouth, MA, which specializes in silk haute couture. “Part of our mission statement is philanthropy,” says founder/owner Janet Egan, “and in the five years we’ve been in business we’ve contributed more than $145,000 to 89 charities.” She says

they are very excited to participate in Martha’s Market for the first time.

“We understand that the show is excellent and it supports a cause very dear to my heart—breast cancer and the MJH Foundation. My mother died of cancer several years ago and my father was involved in the medical field his entire adult life.”

The wide variety of top-notch boutiques makes the Market a shopping destination from Roanoke to Richmond, Staunton to Washington.

First, because visitors know they’ll find one-of-a-kind gifts to share with friends and loved ones and second, because they know their money goes toward a worthy cause.

What the Market Supports Since 1994, The Women’s Committee has helped fund many facets of women’s healthcare, with the primary emphasis on breast health.

Fundraising supports computer-assisted-detection software that increases the accuracy of digital mammography imaging, women’s midlife health, and heart disease as well as

with the selection process and ensure both outstanding collections and a nice variety.

The Market contracts only with vendors outside of the MJH service area—that is, vendors beyond Charlottesville and the surrounding counties of Albemarle, Greene, Nelson, Louisa, Fluvanna, Madison, Orange and Buckingham. This has been the policy since the beginning of Martha’s Market, aimed at offering local shoppers access to vendors not ordinarily available to them.

There is a real effort to keep the Market fresh and unique each year and fifteen percent of every sale goes directly to support women’s breast health programs.

“We’ve participated in Martha’s Market since 2002,” says Trisha Anderson, President of Frontier Soups in Waukegan, Il., which offers dried, all-natural gourmet soup mixes. “Taking part in holiday markets is the way the company started and now—celebrating our 25th anniversary—we still love those markets where we offer tastes of our 37 varieties. This is our only East Coast market and we love returning year after year.”

“We are truly honored to be a part of this wonderful show,” says Maggie Cabot. She and Ed Cabot own Little Indulgences, an upscale jewelry shop way down in Sarasota, Florida. “It’s well worth the time and distance because of many factors,” she continues. “First and foremost, the proceeds have such a profound impact on so many women and their families in

access to mammograms for underand uninsured women, and support for women and families who are dealing with breast cancer.

Nearly 20 programs are assisted.

Here are just three that indicate some of the scope of the work to which The Women’s Committee contributes includes: • The Cancer Resource Center where Coordinator Vicky Brunjes offers educational materials and other programs dedicated to supporting individuals receiving treatment in the Cancer Care Center.

• Support for Early Detection through the Biannual Breast Health Screening Days, Breast Health Liaison, Digital Mammography, Computer-Assisted Detection (CAD), and MRI. • Our Cloak of Caring through support for Palliative Care, Breast Health Fund, Lymphedema Care, Infusion Center chairs, blanket warmers, and robes.

The big news this year, of course, is that the hospital staff has completed the move to the new facility at Pantops with beautiful views inside and out. All patients coming for appointments at the Phillips Cancer Center walk past the highly visible and convenient Cancer Resource Center.

Adjoining the Center is Marianne’s Room, where last year 200 patients who had lost their hair were gifted with wigs—especially important to those who lacked the resources to make such a purchase. Marianne’s Room also provides scarves, special chemo caps, soft post-operative prostheses, education, restorative makeup and other support to women undergoing cancer treatment in an effort to address not only their physical needs,

but also their emotional needs.

For more information, visit www. mjhfoundation.org and take a look at “Martha’s Matters”—an impressive list of the nearly 20 programs supported by funds from The Women’s Committee.

The Women’s Committee and the Charlottesville Community Make It Happen Planning Martha’s Market is a yearlong enterprise involving hundreds of people dealing with accounting, decorations, tickets, hospitality, mailing, membership, preview party, public relations, special events, sponsors, and vendors. In short, Martha’s Market would be impossible without the dedication of The Women’s Committee. It takes some three days to set up and decorate for the Market, three hectic but rewarding days while the Market is open followed by a concerted (and exhausting) cleanup effort.

Market Chair Bailey says, “My first encounter with the Market was seven years ago as a shopper. I immediately became interested in becoming a part of it because I believed in the cause.”

She notes that The Women’s Committee members join for a variety of reasons. “I think the most compelling reason is because they also believe in the cause,” she says. “Some are breast cancer survivors themselves or have had a family member or friend that has been touched by the disease.

Other women are new to our community and join to network.”

There are nearly 150 active members of The Women’s Committee.

Each one has a strong interest in being an ambassador for MJH and supports the Committee financially as well as with countless volunteer hours.

And applause for Martha’s Market success is also due the generous community sponsors.

The presenting sponsor is Wells Fargo. Event sponsors—some are “in kind” donors—include Lite Rock Z95.1, the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Central Virginia, SMG, and Snow’s Garden Center.

The Major Sponsor roster includes ACAC, BMW of Charlottesville, CenturyLink, Charlottesville Radiology Ltd. & CRL Surgical Associates, Flow Audi of Charlottesville, McGuireWoods LLP, NBC 29/CW 29 and StellarOne. The Special Sponsors and Partners list is very long—representing a wonderful outpouring from the community.

Mark your calendar So put Martha’s Market on your calendar and invite some friend for a great day of giving while shopping.

Martha’s Market will be open on Friday, October 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; on Saturday, October 22 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on Sunday, October 23 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the John Paul Jones (JPJ) Arena in Charlottesville. The $8 ticket admits shoppers for all three days. Discounted admission rate of $5 is offered to active duty and retired military personnel and their families with ID, college students with ID and teenagers 14 and over.

Children 13 and younger are admitted free. Gourmet lunch, convenient parking, and complimentary coat and package check are available.

t

he front porch, while not strictly necessary, can make a house more attractive, inviting, livable, and even valuable. What’s more, the front porch is an American tradition, part of our way of life, with a long history and deep cultural meaning—so deep that we are not always conscious of it. If you intend to build a new house or alter an existing one, consider adding a porch.

From a practical point of view, a covered entry provides shelter from rain, snow and scorching sun. Think of unlocking the door in a storm, while carrying a heavy bag. The porch provides a place to take off wet boots, to deliver a newspaper or package, or to wait after knocking. The roof shades the glass area beyond, a consideration in hot, sunny climates.

And the protection from weather makes doors and windows last longer, less likely to warp, split and rot.

At least as important as these practical advantages, the front porch serves as a transition from inside to outside, an intermediate zone that is both public and private. By old habit, Americans sat on their porches in warm weather, talked to neighbors, and observed the passing scene. It still happens in small towns, including the one I live in, though air conditioning is blamed for a general retreat

Front orch The

P

by RobeRt boucheRon

How big should a front porch be?

Many people feel that wider is better, and a porch that spans the whole front of the house is ideal. Others like a wrap-around porch, one that turns a corner. An advantage to this type is varied sun exposure for different times of the day. The corner may get special treatment, rounded or chamfered, or even a turret roof, like a gazebo attached to the house. For a porch that is only an entry, it is good to allow a little room to each side of the door for ease of passage, if not for a place to sit. Six feet (two meters) is good, given that posts occupy some of the area.

How deep should you make a porch? Again, the minimum dimension for seating and a passageway is six feet. Front porches that are five and even four feet deep occasionally show up in new houses, but such a shallow porch is for show—a decorative accessory, instead of a useful outdoor space. For eating and other activities, more depth is needed, such as eight feet or more. At this dimension, the porch roof will be pitched low or flat, to fit under the sills of the second floor windows. And at very low pitches, the roof material must be metal or rubber instead of shingle.

The style of the porch should match the style of the house. Rustic posts and unpainted railings would be out of step with a Georgian or Federal house, for example, which should have slender columns and delicate wood or wrought-iron railings. Victorian or Queen Anne houses often have elaborate woodwork or “gingerbread” on the porch, including brackets and a valance. For some houses, the porch is itself the stylemaker. Think of a classic bungalow, one story with a porch across the front, a deep overhang, and perhaps a low gable above.

The symbolism extends to how the porch is furnished.

It can look bare and impersonal, or it can be an outdoor living room, with chairs, tables, plants, and sculpture. indoors during summer. Porches are usually elevated a bit from ground level, so a person seated on a porch is at eye level or higher than a person standing in the street—a psychological advantage. Railings reinforce the sense of protection. City governments in the United States sometimes encourage front porch use as a way of making neighborhoods safe and friendly. They sponsor campaigns to “Turn on your porch lights.”

By the same token, a visitor can stand or sit here without trespassing

in the home. You can talk to someone here that you do not want to invite inside, and still avoid being rude.

The shelter is both real and symbolic, a neat way to handle a social interaction. The symbolism extends to how the porch is furnished. It can look bare and impersonal, or it can be an outdoor living room, with chairs, tables, plants, and sculpture. Porches in the South are sometimes opulent—a display of good taste and the owner’s flair for hospitality.

Porches cost less to build than fully enclosed rooms. So the addition of a porch is a cost-effective way to increase living area, dress up the front of a house, and increase its curb appeal. Realtors say that first impressions count, when buyers go looking at houses for sale.

The front must be appealing for them to want to step inside. Even if you don’t want to sell, you can add to the value of your home by adding an attractive, well-designed front porch.
