19Th Annual Rising Star Awards The nineteenth annual Arthur C. Greene Rising Star Awards will celebrate brilliant young artists from private and public high schools throughout Charlottesville and Albemarle County on Friday, October 2, starting at 5:30 p.m. at CitySpace (100 5th Street NE) on the Downtown Mall. Everyone is invited to honor these young people’s outstanding achievements, and the evening will feature performances by a number of the participants.

“Rising Stars is one of the signature programs of Piedmont Council for the Arts,” said Executive Director Gram Slaton.

“There is no program like it anywhere else in central Virginia. These high school seniors and a few juniors represent some of the most honored students in the Commonwealth, and

many of them have participated in Governor’s School; professional musical, dance, or acting companies; or even broadcast television. Our kids are unlike any other, and it’s a privilege to be able to offer them this evening of celebration.”

Nineteen young artists are selected by teachers in their schools for the nominations, augmented by four nominees from arts organizations with a commitment to education.

The 2015 honorees include, in alphabetical order by school: • From Albemarle High School: Kathy DeLoria, Emmet Haden, and Pingyi Zhu. • From Charlottesville High School: Micah HunterChang, Emma Kane, and Saoirse Lee. • From The Covenant School: Aliece Carney and Charlotte Hendrix.

• From Monticello High School: NyJhee Tyrique Jones, Sydney Nicholson, Taylor Thompson.

• From Murray High School: Tristan Johnson.

• From St Anne’s Belfield: Alfred BardwellEvans, Berkeley Hoerr, and Kayli Wren.

• From Western Albemarle High School: Laura Grice, Alex Kingsley, and Julia Klein.

• Sponsored by Charlottesville Ballet: Kate Kayton.

• Sponsored by Light House Studio: Elizabeth Culbertson.

• Sponsored by Tupelo Press: Olivia Vande Woude.

• And sponsored by Piedmont Council for the Arts: Obed Restituyo Perez.

The Arthur C. Greene Rising Star Awards are named after the much beloved professor of drama from the University of Virginia and former PCA board member who devoted a large part of his life to encouraging the talents of young people.

Since 1979, Piedmont Council for the Arts has served as the designated arts agency for Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Piedmont Council for the Arts catalyzes collaboration among artists, arts organizations, and government entities to stimulate creative expression, promote cultural tourism, and advance the effective management and celebration of Central Virginia’s richly diverse cultural heritage.

Spring Creek Golf Club Welcomes Bill Fedder as New PGA Director of Instruction Spring Creek Golf Club has named Bill Fedder as the Club’s new PGA Director of Instruction. Bill joins Spring Creek from the Jim McLean Golf School at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida.

Bill grew up in Lynchburg, VA, where he attended Brookville High School.

With golf professionals as parents, it’s no surprise he developed a passion for the game of golf at an early age. Bill attended college at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. After graduating from Furman University, he decided to follow in his parents’ footsteps and entered into the golf business. Bill began his career in Atlanta, GA at Piedmont Driving Club where he served as Assistant Professional for five years.

His experience at Piedmont prepared him for his advancement to the prestigious Druid Hills Golf Club. Founded in 1912, Druid Hills is a golf club rich in history with past Club Champions, such as Bobby Jones and Larry Mize. It was during his time here that Bill developed his passion for teaching.

After three years at Druid Hills, Bill was given an opportunity of a lifetime; a chance to work with one of the world’s highest regarded Swing Instructors, Jim McLean. Under his direction, Bill became not only a Jim McLean Certified instructor, but also a PGA Certified Instructor, a TPI Certified Instructor, a US Kids Certified Instructor, a PING Certified Clubfitter, and owner of a Science & Motion Puttlab. As much as Bill loved working with Jim McLean, he wanted an opportunity to develop a name for himself. When his wife, Katie was offered a position at the University of Virginia’s Medical Center as an assistant professor with the department of Otolaryngology, Bill began searching central Virginia for a club to make his own. Spring Creek was a natural fit. Its reputation and the ability to develop a program from the ground up made his decision an easy one to make.

Historic Homes

hat makes a home historic? Is it the age of the structure, the year it was built? Is it an historically significant architectural style, along with excellent craftsmanship that exemplifies and clarifies that style? Is it that headline-making history “was made here?” History is whatever we choose to value, but however we define it, we’re blessed with a lot of it in central Virginia. We have eighteenth century architecture; we have exquisite workmanship; we have stories we know and stories we can only guess at, and do.

Consider Findowrie in the hunt country northeast of Keswick, for example, and feel the lure of an old and well-preserved home. Built around 1778 in one account, but as early as 1733 in another, the four-bedroom, 1,734 square foot house is for certain the earliest extant house in Albemarle County. Four guest homes, a stable complex and a cattle barn have been added to its 150 private acres with their open pastures, hardwood trees, and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The house itself boasts many interesting architectural features including a chimney pent with shelves between the chimneys.

Or take Tipton House in Scottsville, a two-story, brick house constructed over a raised cellar, with a paired-column portico, five fireplaces, heart pine floors, and a beamed ceiling in family room. Built circa 1842 by John T. Blair, a Confederate Sergeant and later 1st Lieutenant, it’s been renovated in period style, the main floor painted in colors determined to be original through microscopic lab analysis.

Esmont’s Old Woodville was built in 1796 by a prominent Virginia planter, John Coles II, as a gift to his son Walter. Politically, socially and militarily prominent, the Cole family eventually owned 11,000 acres in the area, and family members were friends and colleagues of Presidents Jefferson and Madison. The estate’s 176 acres of pasture have been continuously farmed since the house was built. A woodland path leads from its Georgian-style house to its five-acre lake.

Elsewhere in Esmont, Twenty Columns was built as a summerhouse for display at the Jamestown Exposition of 1907, then dismantled and relocated to its present location on a private lane

are quite private, on large tracks of land, in lovely idyllic settings. That natural setting would be the home place for a plantation. It would be self-sufficient. So there are water resources nearby and good agricultural land, and often a beautiful mountain view.”

“It’s a pretty house usually,” is how another longtime veteran, REALTOR® Justin Wiley puts it, the kind of house that makes you say, ‘they don’t make them like that anymore.’ A lot of people are accustomed to living in an older house and like the solidness and the good woodwork – the nice heart pine, high ceilings, and large windows.

They like the fact that it has history and usually has established large trees around it, large boxwoods, etc. Buyers come from all over. Typically they’re a little older. They want a little bit more land, for privacy.”

An old Virginia home offers buyers, “an experience that’s different than a new construction house and development,” says REALTOR® Murdoch Matheson, who specializes in estate homes, equestrian and working farms, and large country properties throughout Virginia. “Where they live and what they own is an expression of themselves, and they are drawn to the soul, the character, the aesthetic, the narrative of the property. There is no story to a property that was built in 1996 in a development like there is to a property that was built in 1896 or 1886. Buyers who live in, say, California, don’t have properties as old as what we have here. The attraction of moving to Virginia is to own something that might be noteworthy.”

on an 18.5-acre site. The current owner has upgraded the house while carefully preserving original architectural details like the wrap around porch.

Character Historic homes typically possess “a distinctive character in terms of architecture, size, layout, and location,” says

REALTOR® Jim Bonner, who’s been selling them about as long as anyone around here. “The setting is as important. When people developed this territory, they picked the prettiest sites to build their homes, so you have fabulous old magnolia trees or big oaks and boxwoods that you simply can’t obtain anywhere else. Oftentimes these homes

“There are a lot of folks here who are very sensitive and preservation oriented, and they want to preserve the sense of place that we have,” Bonner says. ‘They don’t want to see further development. These houses are little treasures because they’re so unique and so special.’ To that end a number of public and private bodies designate older properties as historical, a recognition that enhances their appeal but allows only for renovations and enhancements in keeping with period style.

The National Register of Historic Places was established in 1966 and is managed by the National Park Service.

It lists nearly 3,000 structures, sites, objects, and districts that embody the historical and cultural foundations of

Windie Knowe is one of the oldest homes in Albemarle county. On over 30 lush, gently rolling acres, this historic house is approached by tree-lined driveway and sits amongst huge Hackberry trees that are over 250+ years old. The 4 bedroom colonial farmhouse was renovated to modern living standards with a balance of formal and open, informal living spaces. The gourmet kitchen leads to the vaulted, detached screened porch that features a stone fireplace overlooking the oval concrete pool and landscaped gardens.

Well-proportioned rooms for entertaining with hardwood floors throughout, crown moldings, floor to ceiling windows and five fireplaces. The 3 bedroom guest cottage with fireplace offers the conveniences of a second living space. Minutes from UVA and Boar’s Head Inn. MLS# 525337

ovations qualify owners for tax credits on both the state and federal level. It’s the owner’s choice. “If you are designated on the National Historic Registry, it doesn’t necessarily prohibit you from making changes that are not in the same language as the history of the building,” Matheson says. “You can put a big modern addition on an historic building; but you might lose the designation.”

“Some people think the designation is not worth getting because it might be putting limitations on the property in perpetuity,” Matheson notes, “but you can look at the tax credits as off-setting the price of the architect or general contractor. By utilizing the tax credit program you might be able to offset some of your expenses in restoring the property.” In fact property owners, Bonner says, “are usually the driving force behind designation.”

“The main thing is that they don’t want the facade or any of the original woodwork inside altered,” Wiley says

OLD WOODVILLE Esmont | circa 1796

of the designating bodies. “If an owner wants to have items changed, it has to be presented to make sure it’s allowed.”

But few do. “Most of the houses could be given that designation because of their historic value, but do not have it, and owners are allowed to do whatever they want to. There aren’t many who go through with the whole historic easement. I’ve only listed two of those in my career.”

So what’s involved in restoring an historic home? “Money and patience,” Matheson says—and experienced help. Owners can find a wealth of assistance from sources like the Albemarle Historical Society in downtown Charlottesville, and from architectural historians at the University of Virginia’s School of Architecture. “There is a lot of documentation,” Matheson says.

“There are a lot of old pictures. There are a lot of people you can talk to who

Its architectural features include a symmetrical central hall plan, end chimneys, dentil cornice, and more. Descendants of the Crawford family resided at the country estate until 1928.

“Of course with anything that’s old, you’ll hear a craftsman say we don’t know what we’re going to get into,” Matheson cautions, and while that uncertainty intimidates some owners, it excites others. “You can get very, very specific about how restoration work is done,” he says. “Sometimes it comes down to renewing the chinking on the brickwork, or whether certain things are left raw or painted. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes once people start on the project of restoring a house they can be fastidious about

Restoring an old home and updating it with modern conveniences is meticulous work, but “we are very blessed in that we have a lot of period craftsmen in the community,” Bonner says.

“Simply because we have a good collection of period homes we have a good collection of period craftsmen that do fine work.”

But it’s up to Norton to figure out how to work new brick into old brick, for example, or how to cut new trim to match the antique stuff. “The old mortar is typically faded because it’s so old. One of the challenges is trying to match the mortar so that you can’t really tell when a wall has been fixed, or worked on, or when an opening has been changed. The other thing is, the trim back then had different profiles.

You have to take some of that trim to a custom millwork shop. It can cost as much as $250-$300 just to make a knife that matches that profile.”

Pride and Responsibility While renovation isn’t easy or simple, Matheson says, its challenges just add to the satisfaction of owning an old home. “People with historic homes love to point out all the little details and things that they’ve worked on, because as they were learning about the house, they were consuming its story and thinking about its history. It was

fun, so they’ll be very keen to show you, ‘we did this, and we chose not to patch the concrete or the pillars on the house because if you see these divots here they’re from musket balls that were shot at the house during the Civil War’ . . . those kinds of details.”

Renovating an old home “is always a little more expensive, because you’re trying to save what’s there,” Wiley says.

And the history itself doesn’t come cheap – the price tag is typically a little out of the ordinary for a fixer-upper. But there is a feeling of wonder that comes of inhabiting a home that has stood since the Revolutionary War, and has seen so many generations of human life. That feeling is rarer still.

An old property is “a connection to the past,” Matheson believes, and he recalls a home inspector who likened a house to a human body: “It evolves over its lifetime, and if it’s cared for it keeps on going strong. Country properties and farms and houses live much, much longer than we do. It’s our duty as owners of historic homes to be good stewards of that home, because that home is older than us and it’s going to live way past us. Stewardship is paramount. When you buy an historic home, you’re taking on that n responsibility.”

THE FLOOR:

A

home’s floor is, in many ways, the fifth wall of any room. Many people know exactly what they want on that “wall.” Case in point: Lorraine Krebs in Nelson County who had a few non-negotiable house-hunting items. “I wanted hardwood floors,” she declares. “If there were stairs, I wanted hardwood steps. I wanted a hardwood entryway and real tile in the kitchen and bathroom.”

“There certainly is a trend toward hardwood floors,” confirms REALTOR® Sandra Collins, an Associate Broker with Roy Wheeler Realty Company who also says that, just like Krebs, many home buyers are very definite in what they want.

“Trends show up early in model homes,” Collins observes. “Right now flooring tends to be wide-plank, dark or grey, often manufactured flooring. You also see faux beat-up hardwood floors.”

She’s very enthusiastic about today’s floors. “They’re doing amazing things,” she points out. “We see luxury vinyl in some homes and you would honestly have to get down and touch it to see if you are dealing with ceramic tile or hardwood. It’s just an incredible look.”

Indeed, there is a remarkable variety of flooring available from the solid hardwoods of Colonial times to high-tech laminates, bamboo, and ceramic tile.

Each has pros and cons and choices also depend on where in a home the floor

will be. If you are replacing an existing floor, it can make a significant cost difference if the new choice can be “floated.” Floating means the new flooring can be installed without removing the old flooring and usually without needed glue or fasteners.

With the caveat that each flooring has a fairly wide range of prices, here is a quick primer on options. The dollar figure—from the World Floor Covering Association—is the lowest estimated cost per square foot installed. For the highest quality in each category the price can easily be several times as much.

VINYL is so tough that some manufacturers offer warranties of 15 or more years. Easy to clean, although subject to gouging and scratching, it can mimic stone or wood perfectly from a distance though not so much up close. It can often be installed over existing vinyl or linoleum, but once installed it’s difficult to remove. It’s available in tiles or planks that can be installed by experienced DIYers, but it is crucial to have a well-prepared base with no bumps. It also comes in rolls and can start as low as $1.

CARPET begins at $2 and comes in many materials, patterns, colors, and textures. It provides resilient footing and warmth. “Carpets in bedrooms are common even in homes with tile or hardwood elsewhere,” says REALTOR® Collins, “although I find millennium buyers are less inclined to carpets because of fear of allergens for their kids.”

Your Fifth Wall

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

STAINED CONCRETE is very durable and starts around $2 for staining and sealing a new (easier) or existing concrete floor. Polished finishes come in a nearly endless variety of colors and shadings.

LAMINATE begins at around $3. It’s tough, comes in many styles and colors, even mimicking stone or wood. It can be dented fairly easily, however, and once the top layer is worn through, it needs to be replaced, so it’s not a good choice in heavy-traffic areas. Like vinyl, it comes in planks as well as rolls, and can often be floated.

LINOLEUM starts around $4, is considered “green” since it’s made from tree bark and linseed oil, and doesn’t scratch or dent easily, On the other hand, vinyl often costs a bit less, yet is more durable and easier to install.

CORK begins about $4. It’s durable, yet offers a bit of a cushion and warmth for feet in winter. It’s easier to install than other floorings and comes in panels, planks, or squares that often snap together without adhesive. It can be floated. Cork is sustainable, but it’s more sensitive to sunlight than other materials and is also vulnerable to denting.

ENGINEERED WOOD and BAMBOO both start around $4 and can offer the same beauty as solid-wood floors. They can sometimes be floated and some brands are snap-together. It can dent. Bamboo is sustainable and can be manufactured to mimic expensive hardwoods such as reclaimed maple or oak.

CERAMIC or PORCELAIN TILE starts around $4 for products that can be floated and around $8 for regular tile. It comes in nearly endless choices of shapes, colors, and prices from the “chicken-wire” tile popular in ice cream parlors of yore to the large squares increasingly popular today. “Some porcelain or ceramic tile looks just like wood,” REALTOR® Collins says. “It’s really amazing.” If tile cracks, however, it can be expensive to restore.

HARDWOOD in solid form starts around $6 and wide planks are increasingly popular. More difficult to install than other materials, it’s subject to dents and also to discoloring from sunlight. However it can be refinished repeatedly—even with a different stain— and is a classic choice. These days it’s used in kitchens and even in entryways.

STONE flooring starts around $8.

It is definitely a “statement” flooring, classically handsome and highly durable, although repairs can be difficult and expensive. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville, with hardwood, tile, vinyl, and carpeted floors.

Materials Maintain the rustic feel of your home without sacrificing modern performance by seeking out manmade products that mimic nature. Energy-efficient fiberglass entry doors have the look of real oak, while polymer shake roofing — which looks like real wood but is made of high-performance materials — will resist deterioration, fire spread and fading from the sun.

Get the look of wooden trim, shutters, louvers and balustrade systems with easy-care polyurethane products that require minimal upkeep, while resisting insects, decay and moisture.

Brands like Fypon offer exterior accents, as well as textured millwork for the interior, such as easily-stained crown mouldings and baseboards.

Great Design Tips

Style Give a nod to your low-pitched roof and open eaves with perfect exterior accompaniments. After all, these are some of the first elements that visitors see. Consider fiberglass entry doors from Therma-Tru Corp, which have embraced different architectural trends in its current offerings.

Designer glass accents in doorlites and sidelites provide contrast and warmth, enhancing the entryways of

Craftsman-, Prairie-, Bungalow- and Arts and Crafts-style homes.

Likewise, consider adding silkscreened Mission and Prairie style windows, such as those from the Hy-Lite Home Designer Collection. They have the right architectural look and feel, yet still allow for light to filter through.

Created from tempered privacy glass, they can match your home’s architectural style while offering privacy.

Color Relaxed and refined, Craftsman style homes offer a variety of opportunities to welcome color. While simplicity is the hallmark of this design style, that doesn’t mean the colors have to be simple. Consider bright colors with contrasting white trim to add personality.

The roof offers a welcoming palette for starting “top down” color selections for the home. "Arts and Crafts style homes, as well as Bungalows, look great with the texture and color of a shake roof," says Kate Smith, chief color maven with Sensational Color.

Smith recommends a color palette that mimics nature, such as cedar, autumn or weathered gray hues from DaVinci Roofscapes, a brand that offers durable polymer roof products with the natural appearance of wood shake.

When it comes to home upgrades, the choices you make should not happen arbitrarily. Look for product offerings that will unite your home's design style and appeal. n

33 JSEPTEMBER 10 - SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 ISSUE 24-37

Luckily, many manufacturers offer home products to match a wide variety of styles. If you have such a home design and are looking to make improvements, here are some ideas to think about:

to Match Your Home’s

Architectural Style

For example, those who’ve embraced the recent resurgence of bungalows, Arts and Crafts-, Mission- and Prairie-style homes will want to ensure that they maintain the simplicity and warmth of their building’s construction when making upgrades.
