Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry Opens New Facility Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Inc. has a new home! The local grassroots non-profit hosted a ribbon-cutting on August 14th at the recently renovated facility located at 2050 Lambs Road. The pantry started food distributions at the location on Saturday, August 1. This new building allows Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry to almost double its size for distribution, office, and storage as well as to provide the opportunity to serve those in need better through a distribution model called “Client Choice.” The new building, as well as the distribution model, will allow Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry to continue for decades to come to carry on its Mission: To give food with kindness and compassion to those seeking assistance while providing an opportunity for volunteers to serve their neighbors in Charlottesville and surrounding communities. “Client Choice” is a food distribution model where the clients get to select which food items they actually acquire at the Pantry. With this new space, Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry is transitioning into being one of the first Client Choice models in the Charlottesville area. Advantages of the Client Choice model include less wasted food, clients having a say in what food items they receive, and a more interactive process between volunteers and clients. Initial feedback from clients receiving food through the Client Choice model has been overwhelmingly positive. The purchase of the building was made possible by a $500,000 seed gift from Richard & Julia Nunley, Caroline Nunley Satira, and John Nunley; $125,000 of the seed gift is contingent upon the receipt of matching funds from other donors. Through the fam-

ily’s ownership of Better Living Building Supply, a generous gift of building materials was added to their overall gift. The Nunley Family members cut the ribbon on the new facility. In addition to the Nunley Family, the Perry Foundation has supplied an additional $105,000 to help with the purchase and renovations; the Perry grants are also contingent upon the receipt of matching funds from other donors. In December 2014, the pantry won a $20,000 grant from Walmart to improve infrastructure, which will help with the renovations. The original goal for the capital campaign to cover the purchase and renovation was set at $1.2 million and the goal has not yet been met.

BGF Announces Project Updates Charlottesville-based nonprofit Building Goodness Foundation (BGF) is pleased to announce the completion of two projects and the launch of a third. BGF volunteers and staff recently completed construction on a new secondary school in Haiti in partnership with the Robert Ford Haitian Orphanage & School Foundation, as well as an environmental education center in Costa Rica, a partnership with Osa Conservation. With support from Charlottesville-based Robert Ford Haitian Orphanage & School Foundation, BGF coordinated the construction of a new secondary school in Grison-Garde, located in northern Haiti. Since the 2010 earthquake, enrollment in the second-

ary school swelled to over 700 students, and classrooms designed for 30 students were holding more than 50. Despite this, the Robert Ford School boasts an 80 percent elementary and secondary completion rate and 90 percent literacy rate. With BGF’s addition of an expanded secondary school, the campus will be better able to serve and educate a larger number of Haitian youth. To learn more, visit: http://bit. ly/maranathaschool. In Costa Rica, BGF partnered with Osa Conservation and the Blue Moon Fund to build a center for education, training, and research in agro-ecology, conservation, and natural sciences. The space will be used for local, regional, and international stakeholders ranging from local school children to international research institutions. This “green classroom” will be a center for education in biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture, ultimately fostering hands-on environmental education opportunities and development of community best practices in the Osa Peninsula. To learn more, visit: http://bit.ly/OsaBGF. Beginning in September, BGF will send construction volunteers to work with G.O.A.L.S. (Global Outreach and Love of Soccer) Haiti to build a new community center in the remote village of Destra, Haiti. Here, G.O.A.L.S. works with community members to engage youth in service to advance health, environmental, and educational initiatives. A community of 800 families, Destra lacks a school, a health clinic, and a place of worship, and the average family lives on $1.50 per day. The new community center will serve as a multi-purpose building for Destra, housing afterschool tutoring, teen programs, literacy classes, and health education.

AUGUST 20 - AUGUST 26, 2015 ISSUE 24-34

ccording to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, more than 35 million Americans move each year. And, although most movers are reputable companies, the number of complaints is on the rise. Moving into a new home is an exciting event, but the reality is that it’s often stressful for the entire family. That is why the U.S. Government has partnered with the moving industry and various consumer groups to help educate the public in an effort to keep them from being taken advantage of by dishonest movers. Because the process can be rather stressful and overwhelming, you don’t want to procrastinate by waiting until the last minute to start planning. Doing so can lead to poorly packed boxes, unorganized preparation and unnecessary chaos. If you have a big move coming up, don’t despair. With some advanced planning and good packing advice, you can make the process less stressful and more enjoyable.

Let the Professionals Handle the Move If you have never hired a professional moving company before, Eddie Giles,

How to Make Moving Easier and Less Stressful BY JANET THOMSON

the proprietor of Professional Movers Incorporated (www.professionalmoversofcharlottesville.com), suggests you begin the search by checking your local phone book. Furthermore, this task can also be accomplished by doing a Google search on the Internet for local moving companies within your locale. According to Giles, some movers will have customers complete an online estimate sheet in order to provide an estimated cost and time. However, if you are moving out of the state, they will give you an estimated weight as well, he adds. Giles doesn’t believe that this is the best practice for providing an accurate estimate. Instead, he suggests that you have the mover come to your current residence and give you a visual estimate. In his opinion, a visual estimate eliminates any frustrations

down the road, especially when the customer receives the final bill that exceeds the initial estimated quote. Furthermore, Giles says be prepared for “sticker shock” because prices have changed. If your last move was say 20 years ago, be prepared to pay a much higher premium today. “I’m going to tell you what you don’t want to hear, not what you want to hear,” says Giles. “I’d rather let you know up front what to expect cost wise, rather than quote something ridiculously low because, at the end of the day, doing so makes me untrustworthy.” Charlottesville has a lot of moving companies popping up constantly, providing customers with many choices and options. But keep in mind, “not all movers are the same,” adds Giles. According to Giles, some of these com-

panies do not have trucks, they don’t have licenses, they don’t carry insurance, they don’t have workers’ compensation insurance, and they don’t have a full-time staff. His advice, “Buyers beware when you are looking for a mover.” When doing your due diligence on a mover, you want to start with the Better Business Bureau. Although many movers are not members, using this avenue for research can help when gathering information regarding customer complaints. In addition, you can go to www.protectyourmove.com and pull up any mover in the United States. If they are not registered with this website, then it’s questionable because all moving companies are supposed to be registered and in their database, according to Giles. You can provide the company’s name, their Department of Transportation number (DOT) or their Motor Carrier number, and their information should instantly pull up, giving you some idea about the company. Giles says that this is particularly important to do if you are moving out of state.

cost is a looming factor, you could save money by packing yourself and letting the moving company haul everything away. If you do pack yourself, it is very important that you label your boxes: what’s in your boxes, where they need to go in the house, and into what rooms. However, with furniture you don’t necessarily need to label it, says Giles, but once the movers bring it into the house you can show them the designated location. To further make this process run smoothly, Giles likes to visit the new home location when possible (which many moving companies don’t do) because it allows him the opportunity to assess any unforeseen problems before the actual move day. “If I have any questions about driveways, or trees hanging down or the stairways, or questionable pieces of furniture not fitting, I can decide what method we need to use to get it into the house,” he says. Although packing yourself can help with the cost, keep in mind that many movers will tell you that they are not responsible

items and the dimensions of your new location, for example, elevators, stairways, door jams, and corners you can avoid surprises and eliminate unnecessary stress on move-in day. Student Services also suggests that you empty your refrigerator, defrost your freezer and disconnect your washer and dryer. Student Services advises that if you are packing your items, you should use an excessive amount of paper on your fragile possessions. In addition, Student Services believes in making use of all available space, which is why they advise packing linens and clothes in drawers, chests, and trunks, and loose items in trashcans. Whether you plan to go with a professional moving company, or handle the move yourself, Bob Hughes, of Nest Realty (www.nestrealty.com), believes that it’s a good idea to begin planning four to five months out. Doing so allows the homeowner time to de-clutter, and get rid of items that

for damages, according to Giles. For example, if you hear something rattling inside, that means the box is not properly packed and the mover should not take it. However, if they do move the box, and you notice that the box is flattened, that means that the movers possibly sat something on top of the box and damaged the items. In this instance, Giles believes that the mover should bear some responsibility for the damages. Although you packed it, they stacked it wrong. Properly labeling and packing the contents within the boxes is very important because it helps the movers strategically stack and place items on the truck. According to Student Services Moving & Storage Co.’s website, if you have oversized furniture and you are moving into an apartment, there is a possibility that it won’t fit. By measuring your

they no longer need or want anymore. It can also help the homeowners’ wallet because they won’t have the extra cost of hauling items to their new location only to later trash them. Giles also wants homeowners to keep in mind that going with the cheapest price might not work in their favor. For example, according to Giles, if you hire a mover that doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance, and the employee gets hurt inside your home or falls down the steps on your property, then the consequences could mean a big lawsuit. Since the employee doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance, and he wants to get paid for his injury, he will most likely sue your homeowners insurance, or even worse, you. So taking the risk of hiring an uninsured moving company could prove to be a very expensive consequence later.

your current policy doesn’t cover your property while in transit, during a stateto-state move you should be covered, he said. Under federal law, a registered moving company must offer two types of liability coverage: released value protection and full value protection. Released value coverage reimburses up to 60 cents per pound and comes at no additional cost to consumers. On the other hand, full value coverage comes at an extra cost and covers about one percent of the value of your belongings. Egan suggests that you understand what’s covered and what’s not before you allow the moving company to load a single box into a truck. In addition, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which regulates interstate movers, warns consumers against signing a delivery receipt for household goods if they “spot language about releasing the company or its partners from any liability.” Furthermore, you should keep valuables like “cash, credit cards, coin collections, jewelry, irreplaceable photographs and critical documents like birth certificates and passports” with you, according to Egan. Hughes says that he would not let movers handle anything that is confidential, personal and important. However, things like utility bills, receipts and other non sensitive items can be handled by the mover, but “any personal financial documents should stay with you.” Although some of these items can be replaced with just a phone call, keeping them with you saves the added hassle. It’s no mystery that a well planned and organized move will make your life so much easier. And for many, hiring a professional moving company is the perfect solution for a stress free transition. However, for many consumers hiring professionals is just not the most economical or cost effective solution, which is why you should turn to organizations like the American Moving & Storage Association, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to gather helpful moving tips that can potentially save you money and valuable time. Whatever route you decide to take, don’t let your move in day have you pulling out your hair. n

FEATURE

If you have items in a storage facility, there is an additional charge. “Extra stop, extra pickup, extra drop off,” means an added charge, says Giles. It is important to let the mover know during the initial assessment because the mover needs to know what’s involved, what size storage unit, where it’s located, etc. All this factors into the final estimate or cost of your move. For example, if you are moving items out of a home and into a storage unit because you have sold your current home and are waiting to close on another, you just can’t take those items to storage and set them in place. It’s like putting a puzzle together, he says. For instance, when Charlottesville Professional Movers put items in storage, the way it comes off the truck is the way it goes back on—in reverse. If the customer wants to save money, having that storage unit packed correctly initially could save them both time and money in the long run. In addition, the homes levels will determine the final cost as well. A homeowner moving into a one level home can expect a different cost than someone moving into a two or three level home with a basement. Furthermore, if the storage unit was not professionally stacked and packed by his company, Giles says that he likes to visit the storage unit, if possible. Normally, he would not look at units that are 5 x 10 because you can only fit so much into them. However, if his customer has a 10 x 20 or 10 x 30 storage unit, he typically makes the trip to the unit, because in his experience, often times people get larger storage units to accommodate what they thought was a lot. But, what he has discovered is that many of these units are not filled to capacity. By making this trip, it usually means a great savings for his customers.

Heritage Madison County has a long memory. In the 18th century it attracted German, English and Scots/Irish families who have descendants there today. In 1792 it received its county charter, taking its name from a family with land along the Rapidan River – the same family that had produced James Madison, Jr., at the time a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and destined to be elected president

in 1808. In 1929 President Herbert Hoover purchased 164 acres along the upper Rapidan in what is now Shenandoah National Park and established Camp Hoover, using it as a retreat throughout his presidency. In 1993 the Madison Chamber of Commerce established Taste of Mountains as a “heritage festival” celebrating 18th and 19th century Blue Ridge Mountain culture. Most vendors that first year were local – but the word got around. Come to Madison County today and you’ll admire historic structures like the county library (1852), Inn at Meander (early 18th century) Eagle House (late 18th century), and Piedmont Episcopal Church (1832-1834). No less than 66 buildings are in the nationally listed historic district. Down on Main Street the Madison County Court House is a handsome, two-story brick structure erected in 1828, with an open, ground floor arcade, Tuscan-style entablature, a gable roof, and an octagonal domed cupola. Its Federal brick work has been called some of the finest in America.

ing. Kids can watch a magic show and ride ponies. Over on the music stage, the Marching Mountaineers will entertain with pep tunes and movie favorites, Culpeper’s David Leckie Gilmore will bring the blues, rock and Americana, and Outlaw Whiskey will have the soulful Southern rock. Warrenton singer-songwriter Leon Rector will sing his own tunes. Madison’s own Jessica Weaver is sure to do “Letting Go,” the single she recorded after winning a singing contest on Katie Couric’s popular TV show. The boys in Madison County’s own Dark Hollow Bluegrass Band will prove their boast of being the best dressed band in the area, and Bernie Dodd will play the “classic rock n’ roll & country” he’s been perfecting for over 20 years. Hungry festivalgoers can try Main Street restaurants including Madison Inn, Mountaineer Café, and Pie in the Sky, or hit the food carts of Bavarian Chef, Pig N Steak, The Little Country Store in Etlan, Kites Ham, and Valentines Country Bakery. Churches and civic organizations will fill the air as well, with fried fish, sausages, homemade ice cream and funnel cakes. Madison’s DuCard and Early Mountain vineyards will sell wine by the glass or for a $10 tasting fee with a souvenir glass. Non-drinkers can visit the Gray Ghost Beverage booth for iced coffee, iced tea, frappes and craft sodas.

Home Jim Koontz settled in Madison 19 years ago, when he bought Miss Pattie’s, an antique store on Main Street. Known for its Victorian furniture and linens and “the largest collection of teapots in the state,” the shop is named after a former resident, a popular schoolteacher. “The kids used to say, ‘Let’s go to Miss Pattie’s house,’” Koontz says. “Nowadays he lives upstairs himself, and it’s no wonder – “I can look out and see the mountains.” Koontz hails from German immigrants who came here from Spotsylvania County. So do many of his customers. “They come back to visit graveyards and soak up history. I have people quite frequently come in here from as far west as California and Oregon that had people that originally settled in Virginia.”

Madison 411 Situated between Greene and Culpeper Counties, Madison County offers beautiful scenery and a multitude of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and fishing. In addition, residents who want variety can take advantage of easy access to the employment, shopping, educational, recreational and cultural benefits of Charlottesville, Fredericksburg and DC. Buyers in all ages and price ranges seek out the peace and quiet that Madison County offers. While a few people live in the town of Madison, most live in the surrounding rural areas on lot sizes ranging from three acres to very large farms. Many are retired, but the area is also attractive to first timers who want more privacy and property, to people who work out of their homes some or all of the time, and to those who grow crops or have cattle and horses. This is a great time to buy a home or land there as prices are still reasonable and interest rates very low, which means everyone from first timers on up can find a great deal. And if they are like their neighbors, they can expect to be a happy and enjoy their stay for a very long time. REALTOR® Bud Kreh has called the county home since 1967, and prizes its proximity to Shenandoah National Park, as well as Early Mountain and Prince Michel wineries and Graves Mountain Lodge, which have festivals and events throughout the year. “It’s a nice country place to grow up in,” he says. “The school system’s been great. This area has a lot to offer for people looking for a relaxed lifestyle.” What’s more, he believes, Madison’s slow growth philosophy ensures that “we’ll be able to maintain a way of life that people have been used to for years and years here.” Taste of the Mountains offers free parking at Madison High School and at the County Fair Grounds, with shuttle buses running from both sites. In nearby Hoover Ridge Park the Madison County Farmer’s Market, 8:00 a.m. to noon, will have spectacular views and a safe play space for kids, plus local produce, baked goods, specialty meats and more. Summer weather never stopped country people from throwing a party: Taste of the Mountains is a rain or n shine affair.
