JUNE 12 - JUNE 18, 2014 ISSUE 23-24

OVOTO.com’s blog— which dubs itself “the lighter side of real estate”—recently named Charlottesville as the #2 Friendly Small City in the nation. What exactly makes a city friendly? “When we decided to tackle this question,” the blog says, “we realized that we’d need to look at it in some unique ways,” They decided some measures such the per capita number of high-fives in a week or cups of sugar given to neighbors, are pretty tough to tally. Instead, they chose some not-necessarily-traditional criteria for evaluation including violent crime (friendlier residents commit fewer crimes), percent of income given to charity (friendly folks spread around the wealth) and Facebook likes (friendly places make more digital friends.) They also looked at per capita data for farmers markets and bars (good places to socialize and interact with others), religious organizations (since loving one’s neighbors is the foundation of most religions), and gift and flowers shops (because more demand for gifts means more stores.) With this mix of “serious and fun data points,” they looked at 100 cities with populations under 50,000 and gathered statistics from sources as diverse as the FBI and Philanthropy.com to arrive at their rankings. “Charlottesville was the first city I experienced with a truly cosmopolitan view that was also friendly,” declares REALTOR® Katie Corish, Owner/ Principal Broker of The New House Company. “It’s friendly, neat as a pin, and immensely evolved by southern standards. I was happy to move here as the environment felt like what I wanted as a home for my then-small sons.”

Socializing Corish’s “desirable environment” is exactly what MOVOTO.com was winkling out. The region does have a number of the bars identified as being good places to socialize. Cville undoubtedly trumps many cities with the Downtown Mall and summer-long Fridays After Five where people cheerfully jostle with neighbors and meet new people through a common friend. Farmer’s markets definitely abound in the area. There are nearly 250 across Virginia with a number in Charlottesville and the seven-county area surrounding the city. They are not only a fresh-food source, they serve as

today’s village square where people see friends. “I always run into people I know on Saturdays at the City Market,” confirms REALTOR® Kelly Ceppa of Nest Realty Ceppa. “Besides I want to know where my family’s food comes from, because it’s important that what I put on our table is healthy, locally raised, and fresh. At City Market, I’m on a first-name basis with the farmers raising that food.” And certainly we have a number of gift and cards shops—most locally owned. Add in the numerous art galleries and studios in town and on the Monticello Art Trail where artisans welcome visitors and you have a friendly way to find gifts.

Religious Life

Charlottesville Named

#2 Friendly Small City in USA BY MARILYN PRIBUS

The religious life mentioned by MOVOTO is important to many people in our area as well. Corish, who likes Charlottesville’s environment, says, “My story is as personal and unique as everyone’s. After a health crisis in 2007, I was drawn to the Unitarian church on Rugby Road where I learned about IMPACT.” IMPACT, begun by local clergy in 2006, has a mission “to empower the faith community of greater Charlottesville to create significant social change through unified direct action.” It is spiritually, racially, and economically diverse and works to build strong relationships among its 26 congregations, which include more than 15,000 people in Central Virginia including Roman Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, Unitarian, and Muslim traditions. “What better idea could there be,” Corish asks, “than to combine the moral force and impressive numbers of the collected faiths of our community in the interest of changing lives for the better here in this city we love?” As an example, she cites initiatives addressing homelessness, youth unemployment, and mental health care. “IMPACT is one of the evidences that we are indeed a friendly and a justice-oriented community,” she emphasizes. “The work with others of the caring mindset is life-enhancing—both for those for whom the work is done, and for those who do it. I love this community. I feel this deeply about my physical and my faith communities and consider myself a fortunate person indeed to experience each.”

Charitable Giving Generosity is another trait MOVOTO deems friendly. The Charlottesville community gives well over 4 percent

of their money to charity and there is no better example of that generosity than Give4Good effort last May 6th. The program was organized by the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) to encourage online contributions to nearly 150 non-profits in Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Nelson, and Orange Counties, and Charlottesville. The non-profits included: Arts & Culture, Animal Welfare, Education, Community Enrichment, Environment, Health, Human Services, and Children and Youth services. It was part of a national event to inspire our community to come together for 24 hours to maximize its philanthropic impact and we were definitely inspired. Here’s just one example. “Seniors Safe At Home is a partnership between CAAR, the Blue Ridge Homebuilders, and AHIP http:// www.ahipva.org/” Albemarle Housing Improvement Program],” explains Charlottesville REALTOR® Pam Dent of Gayle Harvey Real Estate. “We started out the day not knowing what to expect from our initial experience with Give4Good. And by starting out, I mean one minute after midnight. It was so exciting to watch the numbers climb.” While the group had hoped to reach $5000, by the end of the 24 hours over $20,000 had been raised for that program alone. “It shows that Charlottesville is a generous, caring community,” Dent says. “It was truly a group effort and a heartwarming experience with folks from different organizations all over the area working together to raise more than a half million dollars for their favorite nonprofits.” The impressive results were announced online by CACF: Final Total: $507,086.47 from 3,764 gifts!!

She is now Vice President of the Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville/Albemarle. “People want to make connections,” she says. “They want to help in their community and also have the experience of getting to know people in a different way.

A distinctly friendly aspect of the region is music, although surprisingly it wasn’t among the categories that MOVOTO explored. Music brings people—from law enforcement to REALTORS®, educators to gardeners, healthcare workers to students— together in a unique way. A remarkable number of local enterprises serve up live music along with food and drink including many eateries such as the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, Escafe, and Fellini’s #9. Regional

wineries, breweries, and cideries host musical performances from casual combos to concerts. Carter Mountain Orchard has a Thursday Evening Concert Series during the summer. More formal venues range from the John Paul Jones Center for major performances to Charlottesville’s Southern Café and Music Hall, Jefferson Theater, and Paramount Theater to Rapunzel’s in Lovingston. The nTelos Wireless Pavilion is another popular spot for concerts, festivals, benefits, and the free Fridays After Five programs that feature a variety of artists all summer long. In addition, the Pavilion engages members of non-profit groups as workers with their hourly “pay” going to their respective groups.

Music also brings local amateur musicians together in a wide variety of activities from Rapunzel’s open mic on the second Friday of each month to a dramatic partnership of the Charlottesville Oratorio Society and the Ashlawn Opera presenting Candide last month [May] at the Paramount Theater. The Charlottesville Municipal Band is certainly one of the oldest musical organizations in town, performing together since 1923. Members are accomplished volunteer musicians ranging from students in the eighth grade to PVCC enrollees to retirees. The group offers a number of free concerts during the year and always plays inspiring patriotic numbers at Monticello for the Fourth of July Naturalization Ceremonies. “Music is my community within the community,” says Ceppa, the City Market shopper who is also a member of the Charlottesville Women’s Choir, which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary of singing for the environment, peace and justice. Their annual concert raises funds for a local non-profit and this year the beneficiary was the Barrett Early Learning Center. Then there’s the Charlottesville Threshold Choir which sings at the bedsides of hospice patients and others

in need of comfort, healing, and peace. Add in the our local Sweet Adelines (known as the Skyline Harmony Chorus), the Virginia Consort, FIRE, the Senior Center’s Second Wind Band, the Charlottesville Jazz Society, the varied musical organizations of UVa, many other organized groups as well as plenty of casual jam sessions and gatherings and Central Virginia is alive with music. Some musical groups require auditions while others welcome anyone interested in music. Many have websites for more information. Nowhere is this musical community better demonstrated than at the annual December Messiah Sing-In at UVa. Singers come with friends to sit in soprano, alto, tenor, and bass sections in the house, while instrumental musicians take to the stage with their strings, brass, and wind instruments. You might even spot a mandolin. As the final notes of the Hallelujah Chorus fade (and it is often sung twice, simply for the joy of it), there is a wonderful moment of community that is the essence of Charlottesville. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle Country near Charlottesville. She sings with several groups. Her sister, Gloria, lives in San Luis Obispo, the #1 Friendly City.

Here Are Some Other Important Tips: Don’t mow more than 1/3 of the length of the blade of grass. Leave clippings on the lawn or, if you have not applied herbicides, add them to your compost heap. This lessens the need for fertilizer, especially nitrogen. It’s estimated that leaving clippings on the lawn will reduce the need for nitrogen applications 20-30 percent after the first year and 35-45 percent after the second year. Use a self-mulching blade on your lawnmower and mow 3 to 6 inches in height. This will capture and filter rainwater, slowing it from running off. “Never mow your lawn bald,” urges Crisp. “It puts too much stress on it.” Fertilize when grass is growing and can actually use the nutrients. Choose fertilizers with 30 percent or more slowly available nitrogen.

HOUSE & HOME

Never Over Fertilize. More Is Not Better.

Organic Lawn Care is Good for Your Family and Your Community

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY GLENN PRIBUS

For those who are environmentally conscious, we want to offer some “green” tips on how to keep your lawn healthy and be a good steward of our environment at the same time. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that as much as 80 percent of the water falling on lawns— from rain or sprinklers—doesn’t stay there. Instead it runs off carrying fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides into our creeks, ponds, and rivers. One tactic is to reduce the area of lawn. Take former Charlottesville mayor Kay Slaughter, for example. While she has a lawn at the rear of her home, her front yard is a cheerful symphony of easy-care perennials, flowering trees such as lilacs and white-blossomed

fringe trees, and shrubs including azalea and butterfly bush. “The oak leaf hydrangea are white with pinkish touches,” she says. “The early daffodils are followed by tulips, iris, peonies, cone flowers, daylilies, sedum, roses, and red bee balm.” She also plants herbs like basil and oregano as annuals. Still, most people, including Slaughter, want some lawn area for a game of croquet or badminton and have that lawn safe for children and pets to play. An “organic” lawn is healthier and better for the environment. “Organic lawn care is important for reducing pollutants in our environment,” declares Nancy Whitman, a Master Gardener with the Piedmont Master Gardeners chapter.

“That’s very important because what goes in our water ends up in the Chesapeake Bay,” chimes in Master Gardener Penny Crisp. “Being organic might take a little more effort than using traditional methods, but if you start by seeding properly and keeping your grass healthy, you force the weeds not to show up.”

Where Do I Start? “Your first step is a soil sample,” says Whitman. “We have little boxes people can come and get, fill with soil, and send off to Virginia Tech. VT will send back a report with feedback about what supplementation might be needed and information on changing the Ph, if necessary, to maximize your grass.” The next step is to use seed that is well suited to your yard, most likely a mix of warm- and cool-season grasses. “You might change the ratio by region,” continues Whitman, “and it makes a difference whether you have lots of sun or shade.” Again, get information on the best grass for your area from your Extension Office. Having a healthy lawn reduces the need for weed killers and pesticides. And if you have pests, you know whom to call. “Your extension service might have some organic remedies depending on what pests you have,” says Whitman. “Ground-up corn is one example.

An excellent way to keep your lawn healthy is to compost it 2 to 3 times a year rather than using chemical-based fertilizers. Compost includes nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and often has trace elements you don’t ordinarily find in commercial fertilizers. Make your own compost or buy it. Spread the compost evenly about 1/4 inch thick so you don’t smother your grass and the nutrients will enter the lawn more quickly. Water the compost in for 5-20 minutes. Mow only after a week to ten days. Following these pointers will make your lawn green and “green,” too. n Glenn Pribus and his wife live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville where he leaves the clippings on their very small lawn when he mows. Virginia Cooperative Extension Services provide remarkable resources such as e-books, videos and brochures—most at no cost— providing information on health, nutrition, home finance, agriculture, gardening and much more. For example, Nancy Whitman and Penny Crisp are volunteer Master Gardeners who staff the phone for the once a month for the horticultural help desk for Charlottesville and Albemarle County. “Coming next fall,” says Whitman, “the Piedmont Master Gardeners will offer a new lawn-care project. We’ll come to homeowners to take soil samples and give ideas on how to develop and maintain lawns. People can find out more at www.PiedmontMasterGardeners.org.” Master gardeners are often available at the Charlottesville’s City Market and other farmers markets in the area.
