CAAR Member Kelly Ceppa Honored with Good Neighbor Award Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR), the voice of real estate in the Central Virginia region, has announced Kelly Ceppa as a Good Neighbor Award recipient. This recognition program highlights local REALTORS® who dedicate significant time and interest to projects that make a lasting impact on our communities.

Toy Lift,” Charlie Hall, administrator of the toy lift, said. “Every donation counts in bringing holiday spirit to local children, and Kelly certainly took that mission to heart.”

Ceppa has been a CAAR member since 2002 and serves on a variety of association working groups each year.

A $100 donation was made to Toy Lift in her name.

About CAAR – The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) represents more than 1,000 real estate professionals in Charlottesville and Albemarle and the surrounding areas of Greene, Fluvanna, Nelson, Louisa counties. For more information on CAAR, pick up a copy of the CAAR Real Estate Weekly, visit www.caar.com, or contact your REALTOR.

Community News & Happenings Kelly Ceppa (left) receives the CAAR Good Neighbor Award on Thursday, Feb. 6. CAAR President-Elect Anita Dunbar presents certificate to Ceppa and check to Kids Lift Foundation Volunteer Coordinator Patty Dombrowe.

“Kelly is passionate about many causes, and we deeply appreciate her work to bring smiles to children’s faces during the holidays,” Anita Dunbar, CAAR president-elect and associate broker at Montague Miller & Company, said.

Ceppa’s volunteer service on a project team at CAAR has expanded into a seven-year commitment to the Toy Lift event benefitting the Kids Lift Foundation. Challenged with helping 450 more children and lower donations in 2013, Ceppa was determined to recruit past and current REALTORS® at her firm – as well as clients – to make the event a success.

She began by operating an early toy drop-off location at the Nest office in mid-November and organizing a firm-wide shopping event to purchase toys. Ceppa put in more than 25 hours during the weekend of Toy Lift to ensure that the drop-off and distribution centers were staffed.

“We are very glad to see Kelly get recognition for her hard work with the

Graduate Student Composers Highlighted at Concert The graduate student composers in the program in Composition and Computer Technologies in UVA’s McIntire Department of Music invite you to a concert of works for voices, performed

PHOTO CREDIT: TEAR-N TAN

by members of the acclaimed Ekmeles ensemble. From susurration to clamorous harmonies, from text-sound meta-composition to SABB dub for cosmic dancers — there is something for everyone! The concert is the capstone event of Ekmeles’ residency, generously supported by the Office of the Vice Provost of the Arts. The concert will be held at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, February 21, at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Church. Admission is free. All are welcome!

Ekmeles is a vocal ensemble dedicated to the performance of new and rarely-heard works, and gems of the historical avant garde. \ek’meles\ In Ancient Greek music theory, an adjective used to describe tones of indefinite pitch and intervals with complex ratios, tones “not appropriate for musical usage.” In New York City, a new vocal ensemble breathing life into those disallowed tones, new and old.

Ekmeles is praised for their “extraordinary sense of pitch” by the New York Times, and called a “promising addition to the New York scene” by the New Yorker’s Alex Ross. New York is home to a vibrant instrumental New Music scene, with a relative paucity of vocal music.

Ekmeles was founded to fill the gap by presenting new a cappella repertoire for solo voices, and by collaborating with these instrumental ensembles.

Recent collaborations include the US Premiere of Beat Furrer’s FAMA with Talea Ensemble, the US Premiere of Luigi Nono’s Quando Stanno Morendo with AMP New Music, and two concerts of 10 world premieres by Columbia University and New York University composers. Other performances include a program at Columbia University’s Italian Academy entitled Madrigals and Metamorphoses, two nights of Christopher Cerrone’s

opera Invisible Cities with Red Light New Music, and a collaboration with violinist Mary Rowell of Knee Plays from Philip Glass’s Einstein on the Beach at Issue Project Room.

Director Jeffrey Gavett brings a hybrid vision to the group: he is an accomplished ensemble singer and performer of new works, and holds degrees from Westminster Choir College and Manhattan School of Music’s Contemporary Performance Program.

He has assembled a virtuoso group of colleagues with diverse backgrounds, ranging from the operatic stages of Europe to Anglican choirs of men and boys, which they bring to the unique challenges of this essential and neglected repertoire.

There are two free public events as part of this residency: Workshop: Thursday, February 20; 3:30 p.m; Old Cabell Hall room 107 Members of Ekmeles lead a discussion and workshop on new music for voices.

Concert: Friday, February 21; 8:00 p.m.; Thomas Jefferson Memorial Church 717 Rugby Road - Members of Ekmeles perform new compositions by UVa graduate students.

This residency is sponsored by the Office of the Vice Provost of the Arts.

tra (YOCA) when she was fifteen. Greg Thomas, Ronnie’s band director at AHS then, commissioned D’earth to write the piece for big band. She now attends University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and will perform the piece for the first time at UVa. The band will be restoring the third movement, “In Memorium (Goodbye Secret King”) which is an instrumental tribute to the late saxophonist and Charlottesville native, Leroi Moore. The band will also be performing D’earth’s arrangements of “Joy to the World,” and Charles Mingus’ “Reincarnation of a Lovebird.” The evening will also include music by Thad Jones, Horace Silver, and Count Basie.

The evening is a special expression of gratitude and appreciation to Scott DeVeaux from The Jazz Ensemble, the McIntire Dept. of Music, and from his old friend, John D’earth, for his thirty stellar years of scholarship and service to the University and the Music Department. Mystery guests are expected to appear in honor of Professor Deveaux.

D’earth and the band are also delighted to welcome alto saxophonist and Ph.D. candidate in ethnomusicology, Steven Lewis, as their featured instrumental guest of the evening.

The UVa Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of trumpeter and composer John D’earth, has become one of the greatest in the University’s history. The group’s performances feature repertoire from across the spectrum of the history of Jazz. This concert will include classic arrangements like “The Kid From Red Bank” written by Neal Hefti to feature Count Basie’s piano playing, and “Nutville,” by Horace Silver as well as original compositions.

The concert will also feature an incoming UVa Music PhD candidate, Steven Lewis, on alto saxophone. Lewis came to UVa after completing a BA in Jazz Studies and saxophone performance at Florida State University.

Steven is a Jefferson Fellow and an accomplished jazz musician. His research interests include jazz, ragtime, minstrelsy, and music’s relationship to African-American identity.

Trumpeter/composer John D’earth is the Director of Jazz Performance at the University of Virginia as well as the artist in residence at Virginia Commonwealth University. D’earth has recorded as a leader for Vanguard Records, ENJA Records, DoubleTime Jazz, and his own Cosmology label. He is a co-founder of the Free Bridge Quintet, the UVa faculty jazz quartet and leads the Charlottesville Swing Orchestra, the jazz/poetry project, and his own quartet/quintet. As the Director of Jazz Performance at the University of Virginia, he teaches improvisation, jazz trumpet, and directs the UVa Jazz Ensemble. D’earth has toured with

Staunton into the Civil War when it served the Confederate Army as a supply center.

Augusta County is known for being the home of Cyrus McCormick, who brought a revolution to farming when he invented the reaper at his home in Steele’s Tavern. It is also recognized as the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson who was born in Staunton, which today serves as the location of his Presidential Library and Museum.

Another Augusta historical attraction is the Frontier Culture Museum that depicts the life of colonists who came to this country in the 1600s and 1700s. The museum tells the story of four different groups who arrived from England, Germany, Ireland and Africa. Two separate areas depict life in both the homelands of these settlers and in their new homes in the Shenandoah Valley.

While the history of this area is a big draw, another attraction is the local arts community, said Ed Davis with Real Estate Plus. Davis is not native to this area but located here 28 years ago. “Now I wouldn’t be anywhere else,” he said.

AugustA County

Offers Mountain Views, Outdoor Activities, and a Great Arts Scene

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

ugusta is the second largest county in Virginia and is bordered by mountains on both the east and the west. Not surprisingly, it is known for its spectacular and panoramic mountain views. However it also offers many of the conveniences of city life, along with a rich history beginning with the early colonists who started arriving in 1720. The County figured in the Revolutionary War when Staunton served briefly as the state capitol, played a role in the Civil War and continues to be prominent in modern times. Along with many opportunities for outdoor activities, Augusta is also known for its arts scene featuring music of all varieties, and both professional and community theater.

Life in the Shenandoah Valley moves at a bit of a slower pace than on the other side of the Blue Ridge, although it doesn’t lack opportunities for those who want to pursue them.

And of course Charlottesville and UVA

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD are just 30 minutes away to the east and Richmond an hour’s drive beyond that. Alternatively you can head north to DC and beyond. The Valley is a genuine crossroads with easy access to the rest of the state.

Home buyers hunting for good deals will find them in Augusta where there is much more house and lot available for the money than can be purchased in Charlottesville or Albemarle. As a result, you will find many first time buyers living in the Valley, along with empty nesters seeking a quieter lifestyle where they can choose from many cultural activities. And like other parts of our region, the real estate market is picking up as people take advantage of favorable prices and continuing low interest rates to buy homes they couldn’t have imagined they could afford just a few years ago.

History and Culture Once part of Orange County, Augusta became its own entity in 1738. A courthouse was built at the county seat

theater, is one of many reasons for his enthusiasm. “It is almost always sold out,” he said. “If you want to go you need to plan ahead.” There are also a variety of music venues including country, blue grass and classical, plus galleries and outlets for visual arts.

A concert series in Gypsy Hill Park, also in Staunton, is a popular way to enjoy summer evenings and features, on different nights, Band Concerts with the Stonewall Brigade Band, Gospel Music, Blue Grass and Jazz.

of Staunton in 1745 where records have been kept continuously since then. In 1854 the building of a railroad linking these two major centers enhanced the flow of goods from Staunton to Richmond. The railroad also brought

The scenery, and especially the mountain views, is among Augusta’s biggest attractions, said Betty Aguilar with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III. Davis agrees, reflecting that unlike living in a beach community where you can only admire the water by looking in one direction, the mountains are panoramic and you can enjoy them from anywhere in the area and see them in all directions.

Another big plus of living in Augusta is that it is self-contained. All of the shopping is there like Kohl’s, Target, Lowes and Home Depot and there are now theaters in both Staunton and Waynesboro. There are also lots of good restaurants to choose from after enjoying some of Augusta’s many cultural events, Aguilar said.

Leah Thomas, Vice President of Marketing and Sales with Countryside Service Company in Staunton, also described what she called “lots of shopping and restaurants.” In addition, however, she noted that Charlottesville is only a short distance away for those who want even more options to choose from.

For people who like outdoor activities, Augusta County also provides many options for outdoor activities such as golfing, walking, hiking, fishing, hunting, canoeing or camping.

In 2010 Outdoor Life magazine ranked Waynesboro as the top town in Virginia for hunting and fishing.

Augusta’s Real Estate Market A big plus for Augusta is the home prices. You will find “lots more house for the money,” Aguilar said, and “taxes are lower here as well.” Buyers looking for a deal can find older homes in the $150,000 range, and fixer uppers are available for even less, she said.

Aguilar moved to the Valley nine years ago. Back then a buyer would pay $100,000 more for a 3 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath home in Charlottesville compared to Augusta, she explained. Today the difference is less but still substantial at $50,000.

Many people have jobs in Charlottesville and commute from Waynesboro and other Augusta County locations traveling the interstate, which is fast and convenient, or choosing Route 250. Some people express concern about the fog on the mountain, Aguilar said, but she added that there are only 30 days in a typical year where fog is an issue.

There are positive signs in the real estate market in Augusta as there are elsewhere in our region. Davis said that the inventory is less than it was a year ago and there are fewer bank owned homes on the market than there once were.

He also referenced the much lower prices stating that the median for the area is just $151,500, a lot less than in Charlottesville/Albemarle. “It is in the $150,000 to $200,000 price range where most of the action is,” he said.

However, he added that the higher end homes are also moving, just more slowly than the others. Days on the market are also less than they were a year ago.

These statistics plus the continuing

low interest rates are all “positive signs for the coming year,” Davis said.

Thomas described a “surge in our sales,” last year. Her company had 100 new home starts in 2013 resulting in their largest growth in revenue ever and “we are on target to have another great year in 2014,” she said. Her company does building and offers creative financing options, including special programs for people who are self employed or who have less than stellar credit. They also do rent-to-own programs, and even do trades. Last year they did 10 such transactions that involved her company buying a home from a family who then simultaneously purchased one of her company’s new homes.

Augusta is Attractive to Many Different Buyers With its lower prices, Augusta definitely has a lot to offer first time buyers. “Lots of younger people working in Charlottesville choose Augusta,” Aguilar said. She explained that for many of them their only choice would be a condo if they bought in Charlottesville.

When they move to Augusta the commute is still reasonable and they can live in a house with a yard in a community such as Waynesboro or Lyndhurst.

Retirees also like this area. In fact Davis, who is active in the local Rotary, described Augusta as a “Mecca for retirees,” who like the lifestyle and the small town atmosphere available in Staunton and Waynesboro. Many retirees also appreciate what the area has to offer in the way of the arts.

People are moving to Augusta from all over. Many of the first timers are local as are some of those looking to downsize, Thomas said. “We also get our share of people moving from Charlottesville,” she added. Of course, many of them find the larger homes and bigger lots attractive compared to what is available elsewhere.

Lots of people move here from the north, Davis explained. However, he said there are a surprising number who relocate from Florida because they like living in a place that has four seasons.

“They see it as a mid-point as far as climate goes,” he said.

Augusta also has much to offer in the way of jobs, Aguilar said. She cited Hershey and Hollister as two of the biggest, but McQuay International, Wal-Mart and Little Debbie are also prominent there as are many others.

Of course, this kind of economic activity brings many people to the area.

The job strength of the Augusta economy was recognized in 2011 when Site Selection magazine ranked it in the top 20 “micropolitan areas.” A micropolitan area is a US Census designation that describes urbanized areas around smaller communities such as Staunton and Waynesboro. The rankings are based on job creation and capital investment. According to Virginiabusiness.com just a few of the local businesses which contributed to this impressive ranking included, Ntelos, Innovative Refrigeration Systems and Fisher Auto Parts all of which had enjoyed significant expansions and created many new jobs that year.

Augusta Lifestyle All of the agents had positive things to say about the Augusta lifestyle. Aguilar explained that there are a lot of activities and plenty to do, but it is also a lot quieter than in Charlottesville.

In terms of quality of life, Staunton has received a significant amount of recognition in the last several years. In 2012 it was rated number 10 of America’s 20 top small towns by the Smithsonian Magazine, Davis said. The article cites Staunton’s creation of the “city-manager government model,” which made possible the growth of all of its cultural opportunities of which the Blackfriars Playhouse is just one of many.

In addition, this year, Fodder’s Travel Blog selected Staunton’s Beverley Street as one the best main streets in America.

“Many people are not aware that Waynesboro is also experiencing a lot of growth,” Thomas said. The shopping and the new theaters are a big plus, and the market as a whole is doing well she continued.

While all of Augusta’s attributes are important, what people really enjoy about living here, Davis said, is the small town community atmosphere n where everyone feels at home.

f you’ve ever bought a house, you know how important it is to obtain a good inspection prior to closing. Even the smallest home is a complex structure with many parts that must work together to assure your comfort and safety, and most buyers have limited knowledge of how these systems operate. For that reason, an inspection is an essential part of the home buying process. In fact, just about every purchase contract is subject to an inspection, which means you have the right to pay an inspector of your choice to evaluate all aspects of the home’s visible construction elements and systems.

process, your agent can help successfully resolve most issues that arise so that you can move on to closing successfully. On those rare occasions when the negotiation fails, you have the right to pull out of the contract.

If you are a seller who wants to avoid a sticky negotiation process, you might want to consider having your home pre-inspected. That way if the inspector finds something major, you can fix it before your home goes under contract. The buyers will almost certainly conduct their own inspection, but you can rest easier knowing they aren’t likely to find something that will derail the process. Also, when you uncover problems up front, you are not under pressure to do quick repairs in order to meet an arbitrary deadline. Instead you can take your time soliciting bids from several reliable contractors saving money and getting a better repair in the process.

HOUSE & HOME

Professional Inspectors What makes someone a professional inspector? A qualified inspector has a background in the industry, explained Melody Wright with Structure Examinations, a Charlottesville area home inspection company.

Her husband, Tim, has lots of “hands on experience,” as he was a professional contractor for years before starting his home inspection business in 1998.

“A good inspector recognizes that codes and methods are always changing,” Wright said. She gave the example of solar and geothermal technologies, both of which have become popular in recent years. A qualified inspector must stay on top of what is current in the way of technology. He or she must also understand the building code and how it applies to homes of different ages and be able to recognize potential hazards. She referenced possible wiring hazards due to an inexperienced person’s do it yourself project that could cause over-heating if not caught.

All of this requires the inspector to view parts of the house where most people wouldn’t want to go, she added.

Some good examples are attics, roofs or crawl spaces. A home can look great to buyers, inexperienced in construction, and still have looming issues due to faulty roofing or improper run-off that causes foundation problems due to poor drainage.

While these kinds of home inspections are almost always conducted on

How to Find a Good Inspector

Why You Need a Good

HOME INSPECTOR

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD

resale homes, Wright explained they are becoming more common for people buying new construction. This often involves two to three inspections at different stages of the building process. Even though the county conducts mandatory inspections to assure the home is being built to code, they may not be as thorough as your own inspector, Wright explained. And while the builder also oversees the work, he or she can’t be on site continuously and may miss something. Having your own

inspector is a way to assure peace of mind about your new home.

Negotiating the Repairs If the inspector finds a problem, your agent will work with the seller’s agent to help both parties come to agreement about how to resolve the issue before closing. Usually this involves the seller agreeing to make repairs and provide you with proof a qualified contractor complete them in a timely manner. As a professional familiar with this

When looking for an inspector, start by asking your agent for a referral. Most REALTORS® have years of experience and can give you a list of several of the best inspectors for you to choose from. Wright suggests you call and ask questions about the inspector’s certification and training as well as how long they’ve been in the business.

Limits of the Inspection It’s important to realize that an inspector is only liable for what they can see. While they can test for wiring or plumbing problems, they can’t for example, see behind walls to determine if there are problems there.

In addition, while your home inspector can tell you about visible damage due to insects, they are not termite inspectors. That is a separate inspection carried out by a pest control professional and paid for by the seller.

Similarly, if you are buying a home in a rural area, in most cases your seller is required to provide the results of an inspection of the well and septic, also at their expense. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author. She lives near Charlottesville.

– received its government approval to begin enrolling residents into the program and will officially open March 1.

The formal approval to commence operations came in January by the Commonwealth of Virginia and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The Blue Ridge PACE Center – located in Charlottesville at 1335 Carlton Avenue – will offer comprehensive care to approximately 175 older adults, enabling them to remain in their homes and communities.

At the center’s ribbon cutting in November, keynote speaker U.S. Sen. Mark Warner said “the center will help eliminate the lack of continuity that presently exists for older adults and their families where different entities handle healthcare, social services and nutrition.

“The big piece that has been missing so long in our healthcare system is exactly the role that PACE fills,” Warner said. “This is not only the morally right thing to do, but it’s also the financially right thing to do.”

Blue Ridge PACE offers comprehensive recreational therapy, physical, occupational and speech therapy, personal care facilities, library, pharmacy, nutritional services, health center as well as community based services including transportation and home based personal care.

PACE serves those aged 55 and older who meet Virginia’s criteria for nursing home admission. The federally authorized program is funded primarily

by Medicare and Medicaid, although those without Medicaid coverage are also eligible.

Riverside Health System is the largest operator of PACE centers in Virginia and Blue Ridge PACE joins five of the nearly 200 centers available across the country in 31 states.

Blue Ridge PACE is a joint venture of Riverside Health System, University of Virginia Health System and the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA).

Blue Ridge PACE serves the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson.

Construction of the Blue Ridge PACE Center generated an estimated $3 million in local construction work.

Once it reaches capacity Blue Ridge PACE will employ an estimated 100 staff members.

Beekeeping & Biodynamic Agriculture Lecture/ Workshop The Charlottesville Waldorf School will present “The Evolution of Consciousness: Beekeeping & Biodynamic Agriculture” with renowned biodynamic gardener and beekeeper, Gunther Hauk. The lecture will take place on February 28 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., donations encouraged. The workshop is on March 1 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at a cost of $50.

Participants will learn about beekeeping from past to present day practices and explore how modern, conventional agriculture and beekeeping has affected honeybee health and vitality.

Presenter Gunther Hauk has been a biodynamic gardener and beekeeper for nearly four decades. A former college teacher in the U.S., and then a Waldorf teacher in Germany, he returned to the US in 1966 to co-found the Pfeiffer Center in Spring Valley, NY. Since the publication of the New York Times article, “The Hush of the Hives” that year, he has given numerous workshops on biodynamics and sustainable/biodynamic beekeeping methods.

In his book Toward Saving the Honeybee (first published in 2002) he called for a radical change in beekeeping methods to help avert a great crisis. In 2006 he co-founded The Spikenard Farm, Inc. Honeybee Sanctuary with his wife Vivian, now located in the Blue Ridge Mountains on 25 acres near Floyd, Virginia. Their workshops and trainings in sustainable biodynamic beekeeping serve beekeepers throughout the USA and Canada.

To register for the workshop, please email CWS at www.cswoffice@cwaldorf.org by Feb. 21. Workshop participants are welcome to bring a dish to share in a potluck lunch. Please plan to pay in cash at the beginning of the workshop. Both lecture and workshop to take place at the Charlottesville Waldorf School, 120 Waldorf School Road, Charlottesville. Call 434-9734936 for more information or visit www.cwaldorf.org.
