CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Start Your Holiday Shopping While Supporting Animals In Need On Saturday, November 30th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. you can start your holiday shopping and in doing so, support the animals at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. Local artisans and crafters are coming together to sell their handcrafted items in support of the animals at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA for the annual holiday Crafts for Critters Fair and Adoption Event. This event will take place in the Seminole Square Shopping Center on Zan Rd. adjacent to Marshalls. With a variety of locally made crafts including woodwork, jams & jellies, tea, crochet items, jewelry, paper crafts, furniture, baked goods, bath goods and more, this is a convenient opportunity to find something special for everyone on your

holiday list.

There will also be a raffle to benefit the SPCA and the opportunity to meet adoptable pets. Plus, to make it even easier to take home a furry friend in time for the holidays, the SPCA is offering waived adoption fees for all adult black or black and white pets.

Kittens will be $25.

Lisa Lane, SPCA Director of Marketing and Development noted, “Just in time for the holidays, you can buy locally made gift items and adopt a pet in one stop—it is always a fun day and win-win for everyone. We are grateful to all of the artists who participate to make the Crafts for Critters Show possible.” Crafts for Critters organizer, Heather Gerry of The Jade Butterfly, explained, ‘‘We always look forward to the holiday show. The craft community loves the SPCA and all it does to help the animals in our community.’’

Charlottesville Mural Project On Friday, November 22nd, the Charlottesville Mural Project (CMP) held a dedication ceremony for its fifth, large-scale mural by local artist Kaki Dimock in an ongoing campaign to showcase the talents of artists and designers while creating a more interesting visual landscape in the city.

Drawing inspiration from Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program (MAP) and similar initiatives, the CMP features local artists and designers, partners with youth programs, youth communities, and local businesses, and will produce at least two murals a year. Their latest

project was a mural at Buford Middle School in partnership with UVA and City Schoolyard Garden. Additionally, a small text-based mural was recently completed on the side of Fitzgerald Tire in the heart of downtown Belmont.

Plans for the Rivanna Watershed mural began in the fall of 2011. Upon the prompting of Rose Brown, Program Manager for StreamWatch, the Charlottesville Mural Project invited the Rivanna Conservation Society, Rivanna River Basin Commission, and artist Kaki Dimock to design a mural that would promote the importance of the Rivanna River Watershed and celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Clean Water Act. This federal statute enacted on October 18, 1972, provides a national framework for the public and private sectors to implement programs to protect the “waters of the United States.”

Artist Kaki Dimock is known for her colorful ink and watercolor drawings that often depict animals and the theme of “home”. Dimock exhibits her work regularly throughout Charlottesville, often selling out the entire show.

Explaining the meaning behind the mural, Kaki writes: “This design is intended to honor and recognize the importance of the Rivanna River Watershed, which includes the river and its feeder streams. The iconic images of the built community mix with larger-than-life wildlife. The fish are organized in a celebration of the return of American Shad to the Rivanna because the Shad are an indicator of water quality as they can only thrive in clean, healthy water. Other fish are representative of the species that live in the river with the scales and patterns reflecting the diverse aspects of our community. They draw attention to the interconnectedness of the river: trees, grass, roads, bricks, mountains and suggest that humanity find a way to successfully balance these aspects to support

the health of the river and thereby invite the return of the shad.”

Painted on the back of the Tru Pilates business next to 1st St. S, the mural had the full support from building owners, Kurt and Alana Woerpel. However, due to regulations by the railroad department and the close proximity of the wall to the tracks, the mural had to be painted off-site in the Michie Building on Market Street.

Funding for the mural came from a Kickstarter campaign in which $8,000 was raised. Over 125 backers from across the country donated to the project.

Lake Monticello Light Show Benefits Fluvanna Pet Charities One of Lake Monticello’s most spectacular holiday traditions, the light show at 4 Lewis Court, will also benefit three Fluvanna pet charities. The Fluvanna SPCA, a no-kill shelter in Troy, Caring for Creatures, an animal sanctuary in Palmyra, and Peaceful Passings Senior Animal Rescue are the recipients of donations made at this event. Lights will be turned on November 26 and will run through January 5 from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. every night.

The light show is set up each year at the home of Jeff Spinello and attracts people from all over the region. The show consists of over 40,000 lights with 4,000 feet of cable. It took 6 months of planning and 5 weeks to set up. Spectators can turn their car radio to 88.1 FM and listen to ten songs that run a total of 25 minutes, or they may enjoy the songs through speakers in the front yard.

“We believe this is a great way to give back to the community,” says Spinello.

“People enjoy the display and have generously offered to help with the electric bill. However, we’d rather see the money go to worthy causes such as Caring for Creatures, Fluvanna SPCA and Peaceful Passings.”

Donation jars available for monetary donations to these animal care groups; Caring for Creatures, the Fluvanna SPCA and Peaceful Passings Senior Animal Rescue. In addition, boxes will be available for in-kind donations. The Fluvanna SPCA would appreciate canned dog food, non-rawhide dog treats, peanut butter, kongs, cat toys, and cat treats.

Caring for Creatures would benefit from

Fork Union Animal Clinic, located at 6690 James Madison Highway in Fork Union, is hosting a fundraiser for the Fluvanna SPCA on Saturday, December 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

“Home for the Holidays” will include pet pictures with Santa, a delicious bake sale, and free face painting. FSPCA dogs, cats and kittens will be available for adoption.

Candice Waycaster, Practice Manager at FUAC, states “Fork Union Animal Clinic is excited for the opportunity to help the Fluvanna SPCA find homes for some of their residents during this holiday season. Even if you do not wish to adopt a pet you can come out and support them by having your pets’ picture taken with Santa and enjoying delicious baked goods from the bake sale!”

“The Fluvanna SPCA appreciates the support and generosity from our friends at Fork Union Animal Clinic,” says Jennie Shuklis, FSPCA Executive Director. “Not only are they hosting this fun event, but they’re giving our furry friends the opportunity for a real home for the holidays.”

The Fluvanna SPCA is a no-kill shelter located in Troy, Virginia, serving approximately 1000 animals per year.

The animals who will benefit from Jeff’s talents and creative genius will make the lights seem that much brighter (is that possible?). Thank you Jeff from all the 4-leggeds! Mary Birkholz, Caring For Creatures President & Founder.

“Peaceful Passings animals love Christmas! To behold a display of lights such as Jeff’s is an experience many senior animals have never had. It’s not just the lights; it’s the warmth of the holiday season, the security of a place to call home, and knowing that people in our community support senior rescue.

Gather ‘Round the

Celebrating the Holidays in Central Virginia

BY KEN WILSON

home for the festivities, the season is a reminder of our area’s rich history.

“We’re right in the heart of tradition.

We’ve got three Presidents – their homes are right here. You think all the way back to how the holidays were celebrated in Colonial days.

The Holidays Downtown Every holiday season Jefferson-Madison Regional Library sponsors The Giving Tree, a program to give local Head Start students books of their own. Student names may be selected at the Central, Gordon Avenue, Northside and Crozet branches of the library. Unwrapped picture books may be dropped off through Tuesday, December 3 at the same branch where the names were selected.

The Paramount Theater’s Alternative Gift Fair, Friday, November 29 beginning at noon, is the place to buy gifts that keep on giving, raising money for twenty or so Charlottesville non-profits, including organizations dedicated to energy, poverty, animal rescue, nature, the arts, education, and innovation.

he Sugar Plum Fairy loves gingerbread too. Every holiday season in Central Virginia the Sugar Plum Fairy, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and Mr. Magic get together in the Omni Ballroom to sip hot chocolate, nibble cookies, and ooh and aah at the Winter Wonderland of Gingerbread Houses.

Come on down to the Omni this year, and see if the Fairy isn’t happy.

“Downtown is so special now because there is so much energy down there,” says REALTOR® Carole Clarke, talking about why she loves holidays around here, and not even mentioning the super-cool confab of cookie-chomping children’s celebrities. “Charlottesville’s diverse in demographics and also in age, so you’ve got the enthusiasm of the young, and multi-generations can enjoy what goes on here.” For Clarke, with two grown children who “wouldn’t miss” being

The Grand Illumination is Charlottesville’s name for the annual tree lighting ceremony in Central Place.

The ceremony on November 29 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. will include caroling, a magic show, and a Winter Wonderland activity table.

Following the Illumination, at 6:30 p.m. at the Paramount Theater, it’s a Junie B. Jones Christmas. Learn what happens when the world’s funniest first grader from the New York Times bestselling chapter book series draws the name of her arch nemesis, Tattletale May, for her Secret Santa Gift. Tickets are $12.50 for children, and $15.50 for adults.

Sunday, December 1 at 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. at the Paramount, Moscow Ballet will bring a Russian flair to the holiday classic with the grand Tchaikovsky score, the evil Mouse King, and the gracious Sugar Plum Fairy. The 40-member company’s Great Russian Nutcracker features the Russian folk

characters including Father Christmas and the Snow Maiden who escort Masha (Clara) to the Land of Peace and Harmony where she and the Nutcracker Prince are honored by emissaries from heritages the world over.

All ages are welcome at the McGuffey Art Center Open House, Saturday, December 7, as the artists open their gallery doors for a day of handson activities and holiday gift-making.

Charlottesville Figure Skating Holiday Show will present scenes from The Nutcracker at Main Street Arena, Saturday, December 7 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are free for kids 5 and under, and $5 for all other ages. Reservations are required.

Gingerbread at the Omni Back in 1994, the Downtown Business Association held the first Virginia Gingerbread Christmas competition “just for fun,” board member Morgan MacKenzie Perkins remembers. “The first year was really good, so I took it over.” Nowadays, Perkins says, “I’m kind of the mother of gingerbread.

Every year it’s growing; we have thousands of people come through.

Someday, Perkins hopes, Charlottesville’s event will be one of the country’s largest. This year’s entries, on the theme of “Stage and Screen: Favorite Movie or Play,” can be seen at the Omni Thursday, December 5 through Sunday, December 8. Santa will be on hand December 8 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m., as prizes are awarded in Child, Youth, Teen, Adult, Family, Professional, and People’s Choice categories. “We have some

families who have been in since the first year,” Perkins says. “It’s fun to watch the kids grow up and go from the Child to Adult category – that’s neat.”

Gingerbread Christmas festivities will culminate with Mrs. Claus Invites...! On Thursday, December 12th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., kids can visit Mrs. Claus and her friends from the North Pole, decorate their own cookies and cupcakes, and well as make holiday arts and crafts.

Holiday refreshments including cookies and hot chocolate will be served. Charlottesville Ballet will dance excerpts from the Nutcracker, and Mr. Magic will do tricks.

“I believe it’s only fair that kids have a little magic in their lives,” Perkins says.

“Mrs. Claus Invites and Gingerbread are absolutely, positively wrapped around the kids. They’re an opportunity to give kids an old-fashioned holiday traditional Christmas.”

Albemarle Bakery’s Riki Tanabe enters the Gingerbread competition every year and often wins. How long does it take him, working alone, to build, say, a sixteen inches by sixteen inches by two foot Paramount Theater like the one he entered last year? “Maybe eighty hours.” A labor of love? I do it for the kids,” he laughs.

“There are a couple of us usual suspects who do it every year,” says Tim Gearhart of Gearhart’s Chocolates.

“It’s always a lot of fun. Mine are actually painted chocolate, so mine generally look a little different than most.”

Gearhart’s creations take him “anywhere from 20 to 50 hours” to make. “I usually do it over maybe a three-week period.” For Charlottesville’s 250th anniversary celebration last year, Gearhart built a Charlottesville tableau, complete with a streetcar, and a Thomas Jefferson modeled in chocolate.

Don’t kids have the hardest time not touching these things? “Trust me that they touch,” Gearhart says. “Actually, I think it’s more often the adults that are touching it than the kids. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes.”

Historic Homes and the Holidays Monticello offers a host of events to celebrate the season, including threehour wreath making workshops November 29, 30 & December 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Thomas Jefferson (Bill Barker) will greet guests at the front door Sunday, December 1, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 p.m. The home will be decorated for the holidays. Small-group tours of the house including the Dome Room will be offered December 7, 13, 14, 20-23 and 26-30 at 5:30, 5:45, and 6:00 p.m.

Tickets are $45, and reservations are required.

On Saturday, December 7 from 7:00 am to 9:00 am. Monticello will hold its fourth annual Holiday Classic 5K and Deck the Halls Kids Dash! The family-oriented 5K race begins at the East Walk of Monticello and ends at the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center and Smith Education Center. The Deck the Halls Kids Dash, for ages 12 and under, loops around the West Lawn.

Every December, James Monroe’s Ash Lawn-Highland home is decorated with greenery and botanical arrangements that highlight our fifth president’s carefully restored home. Ticketed tours take place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Montpelier’s Candlelight Christmas tours on Fridays and Saturdays, December 6- 7 and 13-14 offer an opportunity to explore the home of James and Dolley Madison by candlelight and learn about 19th-century American Christ-

And it has great fresh greens; I love to look for fresh wreaths.”

ABOUND IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA

Entrepreneurial Ventures Greenfield also likes the entrepreneurial spirit of most of the local coffee house owners. “Take Toan Nguyen at Cville Coffee, for example,” she says.

“He’s a champion of entrepreneurship in Charlottesville and a real driving force for the CIC [Community Investment Collaborative].”

Nguyen, a graduate of UVa’s Darden School of Business, and some other local businesspeople founded the CIC. This nonprofit organization offers affordable business education to local men and women who seek to develop a business, but need tools, mentors and funds to become successful. After taking a course which covers essentials like accounting, marketing and networking, the students may apply for CIC-administered business-launching loans of up to $35,000.

Nguyen himself is an entrepreneur.

More than 15 years ago, he opened a

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

small shop on Harris Street to sell his handcrafted furniture, with coffee and smoothies to help the bottom line.

When the economy crashed, so did furniture sales but he switched gears, turned his furniture showroom into a welcoming space for coffee seekers and Cville Coffee was born. Today, he serves up coffee, tea and baked goods (almost all made on the premises), breakfast, lunch and dinner. He has a meeting room which may be reserved and an appealing children’s play area.

Dave and Kristi Fafara, owners of Shenandoah Joe’s, are another exam-

ple of local entrepreneurship. Their business dates back about 20 years when they began roasting small batches of coffee beans at the City Market.

Now, with well over a dozen employees, they operate Shenandoah Joe’s Roastery and Espresso Bar on Preston Avenue (next to the CASPCA Thrift Store) and a Coffee Bar on Ivy Road near UVa. They also wholesale to local businesses from major grocers to small eateries and even have an on-line store. “My wife, Kristi, and I have been so blessed here with the local community supporting our businesses,” says Farfara.

“Coffee Houses Really Reflect The Personality Of A Community”

21 NOVEMBER 28 - DECEMBER 4, 2013 ISSUE 22-48

e e f f o C s e s u o H

“Another thing I really love about Toan [Nguyen] is his entrepreneurship toward the local music scene,” adds REALTOR® Greenfield, herself a musician. “Cville Coffee gives a showcase for local musicians.” Sometimes there are modest cover charges and all that cover goes right to the musicians. “It’s such a nice thing for people just starting out to be able to play and for the audience to hear new music in a relaxing place with coffee or a glass of wine.”

Rapunzel’s Coffee and Books on Front Street in Lovingston is another well-known regional music venue.

They sponsor an openmic night the second Friday of every month and host a weekly acoustic open jam for musicians of all ability levels on Wednesday nights, beginning (their website announces) “about 7:00 p.m. (ish).”

Rapunzel’s Further Ado Foundation was established to provide Nelson County with this space to promote the arts by featuring songwriters, bands, dance troupes and others involved in music, dance and art. Today Rapunzel’s is housed in a reclaimed 100+-year-old Packing Shed that has been transformed into a coffee shop, used book store, performing arts venue and recording studio. Customers enjoy a wide variety of coffee drinks, a long menu of various teas, plus wine, beer and cider along with home-baked goodies.

COMMUNITY

Coffee and Music

People have favorites “Coffee houses really reflect the personality of a community,” Greenfield says, noting that many people talk about “my” coffee house because they have an absolute favorite. Others have a long coffee-dispensary list in their heads depending on what part of town they’re in when it’s time to meet someone or take a break in their day.

“No matter why people seek out a coffee house, our area is defined by many choices,” concludes Greenfield.

“It’s just one more reason that the Charlottesville area is such a great place to live.” n As a home-based freelance writer/editor, Marilyn Pribus often meets clients in local coffee houses

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

“C

offee houses are great for so many reasons,” declares REALTOR® Sara Greenfield, owner of Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties. “I know many real estate agents—including me—who like to meet clients in coffee houses because they are a safe, neutral space.” She explains that the friendly atmosphere puts potential homebuyers at ease. “I find especially that younger clients like to meet that way, especially when they have kids with them.”

Indeed, coffee houses serve as a wonderful sort of glue in any community. Whether you grab a cup-to-go between clients at one of several Starbucks in the area, at Java-Java or The Mudhouse on the Downtown Mall, La Taza Coffee House in Belmont with its Latin flair or a favorite spot near your home or office, central Virginia coffee houses reflect their communities in a wonderful way.

These days, many coffee houses offer more than a fancy coffee or pot of tea. Wi-fi is a given, there may be muffins, scones and pastries baked in back or even a substantial menu. Some places have outdoor tables in season, art shows— usually with the art for sale—and special children’s (or adults only) areas.
