What’s Happening Around Town? CNE Graduates 5th Class of Board Development Academy Monday, May 19th marked the graduation of the Center for Nonprofit Excellence’s (CNE) 5th class of Board Development Academy members, its largest class to date. The Academy provides members with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to better support and impact nonprofit organizations via effective board service. This year’s graduation could not come at a better time. The nonprofit sector in the local region, as well as Virginia as a whole, is experiencing growth at a rate higher than national averages in both expenditures and employment. The continuous expansion of the nonprofit sector is being felt nationally as well, which indicates that this trend of growth locally won’t be slowing down anytime soon. This growth means that nonprofits in the local region are on the rise and are in need of well-trained leaders to help run their organizations. Effective leadership is a key component of any high-functioning nonprofit

organization. “Weak board governance, in short, can significantly diminish the impact that a nonprofit has on its beneficiaries and ultimately cause it to founder and even die.” In order to better carry out their organization’s mission, board members need to have the essential tools to maximize success and assess opportunities. If the board itself is considered an organization’s foundation, than the individual board members are the pillars that keep the foundation sound. Having good board members is imperative to an organization’s health. “The Board Development Academy is a rewarding experience for current and aspiring non-profit board members alike,” states Todd Cabell, 2014 Academy alumnus. “I was impressed at the breadth of topics covered, at the high quality of the teaching, and at the passion of my fellow students to becoming more effective board members.” The Academy, which runs over a period of four months, features a curriculum that covers a range of topics that are vital to effective board service. Areas covered reach from board fiscal responsibility, to board recruitment and resource development. Various forms of learning are employed in order to make the sessions multidimensional, thus allowing the members to participate in workshops that provide a networking aspect as well. The Academy would not be possible without its extensive community support including that of Hantzmon Wiebel, LLP and the Smyth Family Foundation. The Academy was hosted at CNE’s new training and resource center, which was completed in the fall of 2013. With these new resources the Academy continues to thrive in building teams of informed and engaged citizens well prepared for the challenge of nonprofit board service. About Center for Nonprofit Excellence Center for Nonprofit Excellence (CNE) in Charlottesville, Va. is the area’s primary resource for nonprofit management, leadership and collaboration. CNE’s mission is to strengthen nonprofits to realize the potential of our community. It empowers nonprofits to be efficient, effective and make the best use of donor dollars.

Wild Virginia is helping to bring this film to Virginia because fracking is still a grave threat to the George Washington National Forest. We are fighting to keep the ban in the new forest plan, due out this summer. “The public isn’t seeing the full scale of impacts from fracking either because regulators are mismanaging the data or decisions are made based on politics instead of science,” says Pribanic. Triple Divide’s namesake, the triple continental divide in Pennsylvania, is one of four highly unique watersheds in North America. It’s where three major rivers begin and flow to separate ends of the continent, providing drinking water for millions of people and hundreds of communities downstream. Tickets are free but should be reserved online at wildvirginia.org.

Celebrating Over Eighty-Five Years

the 2014 Wintergreen Summer Music Festival BY KEN WILSON

sic,” Smith says. “A lot of it is very, very fresh.” Along with sounds from south of the border, we have an incredible mixture of things on the programs, including Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn, “universal composers who defy and region or country.” “What I’m proud about with the Wintergreen audience is that over the past eight years they’re heard a lot of really interesting new things and it actually has become something that people look forward to because they also realize I’m going to give them things that are more well known.” The festival kicks off officially on July 9 at 7:30 p.m. in a program consisting of the Star-Spangled Banner, the Argentine national anthem, and selections by four South American composers: Julián Orbón (Cuban), and Luis Gianneo, Alberto Ginastera, and Ástor Piazzolla (Argentinian). Piazzolla “had one foot in the popular world and one foot in the classical world,” Smith notes of the man who introduced elements of jazz and classical music into the traditional tango genre of his native land. Reservations for Opening Night are required and must be made by July 7.

FEATURE

Orchestral Concerts As always, the Wintergreen Festival Orchestra will play four Classics concerts, with performances Saturdays at 6:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. on consecutive weekends beginning July 12. Guest conductor Carl St. Clair will lead the Classics 1 performances of Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas brasileiras No. 9 (1945), Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 88 in G Major (1878), and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 17 in G Major (1784) with soloist Mirian Conti. Smith’s pre-concert talks begin 45 minutes before each performance.

Chamber Music While a full orchestra can sweep listeners away with its power and enthrall them with the colors in a great score,

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Ask orchestra conductor Larry Alan Smith about the continent to the south of us, and he’ll tell you about rhythm and color. South American music can be “mournful and soulful,” Smith says, but by and large “it’s very perky, very bright, very sunny.” Smith’s frequent conducting stints in Brazil in the 80s and 90s engendered a passion for South American music that he will share at this summer’s annual Wintergreen Summer Music Festival and Academy, July 7 – August 3 at Nelson County’s Wintergreen Resort. Under Smith’s nine-year leadership, a festival that began with a few concerts in Wintergreen homes has grown into a month-long artistic affair comprising hundreds of events for the ear, eye, skin (breezy Wintergreen is about 10 degrees cooler than the surrounding valley), mind and tongue. Entitled Amazonas: The Rhythms and Colors of South America, the 2014 fiesta will comprise orchestral and chamber ensemble concerts, pre-concert talks and master classes, breakfast buffets and wine tastings, sound installations and gallery tours, tango lessons and much more. The summer’s musical fare will combine the classic and the contemporary, the familiar and the surprising, and feature works by leading South American composers largely unknown to North American audiences. Venezuelan-born Ricardo Lorenz will be one of four composers taking part, teaching, lecturing and conducting. Five South American pianists will play. “We have a guitarist from Paraguay,” Smith says, “and a clarinetist from Venezuela who will also be playing a concerto for maracas and orchestra. We have a conductor from Columbia, a film producer from Argentina, and a soprano from Bolivia. One of our violinists is coming from Uruguay, so we’ve really got the continent pretty covered.” “People are going to find themselves really pulled into the complicated, fast, fun rhythms that you hear in the popular music as well as in the classical mu-

smaller, “chamber” ensembles allow each instrument to be heard clearly, providing a more intimate listening experience. Once again, there will be plenty of chamber music to be heard on the mountain this season. The Wintergreen Chamber Players and guest artists will perform together twice. The Tuesday, program on July 15 at 7:30 p.m. includes Tango for four violas (2013), one of two world premieres by guest composer and lecturer Michael White, written specifically, he says, for the festival’s “great viola players.” Rounding out the program will be Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Quinteto em forma de chôros, W231 (1928) and String Quartet No. 6, W399 (1938), and Reynaldo Hahn’s Sonata for violin and piano in C Major (1926) and Romanesque in C Major for flute, viola and piano (1905, 1910).

Coffee Concerts

While the focus is on South America this year, the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Coffee Concert series, featuring hour-long concerts by the Wintergreen Chamber Players, Academy Ensembles and guest artists, is modeled on Sunday morning performances popular in much of Europe. Coffee and children’s drinks will be served. Performances will take place without intermissions.

The series kicks off on July 13 at 11:00 a.m. with a program of five pieces including Alberto Ginastera’s Pampanea No. 2, Op. 21 for cello and piano (1950), Heitor Villa-Lobos’ String Quartet No. 3, W112 (1916), and Composer-in-Residence Michael White’s second world premiere, Sonata for Piano Four-Hands (2013). “This is actually the third piece that I’ve written for four hands piano in the last three years,” White says, noting that the combination was common in the 18th century, when “the piano had just been invented. Writing for a husband and wife or two lovers or a brother and sister was very popular, and then it died out. Not for any particular reason I have been able to understand. I kind of wanted to bring it back. Larry’s wife, Marguerita (Oundjian Smith) is a pianist, and Mirian Conti is also a wonderful pianist. I wanted to write for the two of them.”

Seminars This year’s weekday Morning Seminars will examine Mozart concertos, Haydn and Beethoven’s string quartets, and Chopin’s Mazurkas, among other works. White will lecture on Mozart concerti July 7 and 8, including Piano Concerto #17, which Conti will play on July 12 and 13. The Seventeenth “just

happens to be, in my opinion, the best concerto that Mozart ever wrote for any instrument,” White says. “It’s my favorite concerto. What we’re going to do is something special. Mirian will play excerpts during his lecture.” White will talk about two of Beethoven’s most famous sonatas, the Moonlight and the Tempest, on July 14, 15, 17 and 18 at 9:30 am. “I feel like I owe them some background on Beethoven,” White says, noting that at Wintergreen he has never lectured on this giant of Romanticism, concentrating instead on Mozart, “the composer that I really love the most.” Along with European and South American classics both familiar and less well known, Wintergreen concertgoers this summer can hear music newly composed, and music designed to be approached and processed in new ways. Besides writing for the concert hall, Composer-in-Residence Ken Steen creates soundscapes intended for gardens, landscapes and art galleries. “Typically as a sound artist,” Steen says, “I would focus my work on sounds from the natural environment combined with instrumental sounds that have been modified in some way and then put back into a space. Sound art grows more out of the visual art tradition.”

Steen will have two sound installations at Wintergreen this year, Singing Pots/Peeper Pots, a collaboration with his wife, Lyn Harper, and The Garden of Sonic Delights, which he’ll devise with this year’s seven composition students. Harper and Steen have collaborated before, Steen says, but “this is something new because we’re using clay pots – she’s a ceramic artist – and a set of transducer speakers that are like little

I don’t know of any other festival in this country that does that.” Attracting musicians from around the world the festival enriches – and enlarges – the Central Virginia art community. “We’re getting lots of people coming and staying for a week or two weeks,” Smith says, “and we’ve even had a couple of instances where people have decided to buy a home because of the festival.” “The summer music festival brings a diverse group of people to Wintergreen, some for the first time,” says Tim Hess of Wintergreen Real Estate Company. “The festival has provided a very special contribution to the fabric of the Wintergreen community that often weighs in the decision to own here versus somewhere else.” “It’s a real community – the musicians, but also the people who come to the concerts and the people who live on the mountain,” says cellist and chamber music coach Sara Sitzer, who has been coming since 2009. “Wintergreen is a very special environment.” n

These are represented by the continually rising melodic line and the repetitive/circular nature of the accompaniment – all of which stand in stark contrast to the horrific images on screen. Due to the nature of the subject, some of the scenes may be disturbing, as well as inappropriate for children.” Steen’s string quartet, Upon Second Hearing, will be heard – twice – Wednesday, July 16 at 4:00 p.m. “I am not at liberty to discuss the piece or its origins,” he says slyly. “The idea is for the music alone to provide that communication between composer and audience without any of the trappings we customarily use to give insight into what we were thinking or may have been going after.” Once the audience has encountered the work without preconceived notions of what to expect, Steen says, “In a kind of reveal moment I’ll introduce the ideas that were the genesis of the piece. And then the piece will be played again, and we’ll probably discuss it a little more after that.”

A Primer on Closing Costs

egotiating and agreeing on the price for a new home may seem like the final step of a long process. In fact, it’s just the beginning of maneuvering through the long list of closing costs. These costs and payments are typically organized by a settlement company and paid to lenders and other third parties involved in the purchase of a property when the final documents are signed. “While closing costs can be negotiated, there are very customary ways they are shared in our area,” explains Karla Floyd of Charlottesville’s CloSure Title & Settlement Company. On the other hand, nothing is in stone, and the buyer and the seller can share closing costs in various ways. In fact, this sharing can be a negotiating point when buying a property.

What are typical fees? Closing costs can vary from one property to another, one jurisdiction to another, and one purchase contract to another. But as a rule of thumb, here’s a list of how these costs usually break down in Central Virginia. Typical costs for buyers include: • Fees for home appraisal. Usually the lender hires a licensed appraiser to

confirm the property has no health or safety problems and is safe to occupy. This will also ensure the lender is not financing it for more than the property is worth. • Cost of a survey which verifies property lines. (This does not apply to condominium units.) • Charges for a home inspection if one is performed. In some cases, the seller will correct all or some deficiencies. Other times, a price adjustment may be negotiated prior to closing. • Fees for running a credit report. • Underwriting fee for evaluating the loan application. • Loan origination fee covering the cost of processing loan paperwork. • Points: money paid in exchange for a lower interest rate. Each point equals one percent of the mortgage and creates a reduction in interest rate with lower monthly mortgage payments. Points can save significant amounts of money over the life of a mortgage. • Title search to ensure there are no liens or unpaid tax or mortgage payments. • Title insurance. The cost is based on the loan amount and price of the property. “The lender will normally require title insurance,” says Floyd, “and because the lender’s title insurance doesn’t protect the buyer, I highly suggest owner’s title insurance although it isn’t required.”

• Homeowners insurance. All lenders require insurance, possibly including flood insurance depending on the location of the property. Often a prepayment of 3-12 months is required at closing. If the down payment is less than 20 percent, the lender may also require mortgage insurance. • Recording fee and transfer taxes paid to the jurisdiction to record the new deed. • Escrow deposit to prepay taxes and insurance. These are not really fees, since they would have to be paid eventually, but still may be due at closing. • Fee for buyer’s attorney if one is used. “Some buyers and sellers retain real estate attorneys,” says Floyd, “but in Virginia settlement agents are legally allowed to conduct real estate transactions apart from attorneys.” Usually sellers are responsible for: • Charges for termite inspection. • Deed preparation cost. • Grantor’s tax on deed transfer. • Real estate commissions, if due. • Fee for seller’s attorney if one is used.

How much are closing costs? In some cases, buyers can find loans without closing costs. However, these mortgages generally require a higher interest rate or the closing costs are added to the mortgage. Both these

tactics mean significantly higher longterm costs. Lenders are legally obligated to provide a “good faith estimate” of expected closing costs within three days of the loan application and buyers should plan on spending between 2 to 5 percent of the cost of the property. Armed with several estimates, buyers can compare settlement companies, however these figures may be legally increased by up to 10 percent. Within a day of the closing, buyers must receive a HUD-1 settlement statement with the final closing costs. If there is a large increase, demand an explanation of each item why it is needed. Since buyers can choose among lenders, some of these fees—especially administrative costs—might be negotiated with lenders who want to hold a mortgage. “Rates among settlement companies are pretty competitive in Charlottesville,” notes Floyd. “Service is going to be the key for people and many companies rely on word-ofmouth referrals.” So do your homework when it comes to closing costs to find the best deal and the best service. Finally, be sure to consult with your tax preparer or consult IRS publication 530 because some closing costs may be deductible on your taxes. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.
