Tom Tom Founders Festival Launches Fall Initiative “Founding Cville.” Tom Tom Founders Festival today announced the launch of Founding Cville, a project honoring local innovators and creators that culminates in a Fall McGuffey Block Party on Friday September 26. Founding Cville celebrates “Founders”—artists, business leaders, and public servants—who make a significant contribution to Charlottesville, Albemarle, and beyond, by virtue of their vision and drive. The Festival has opened the nomination of “Founders” to the public, and is currently seeking suggestions through its website: www.founding.tomtomfest.com. Nominations close Friday, August 8th at 11:59pm. “Founding Cville talks about the Thomas Jeffersons of today,” explains Paul Beyer, Director of Tom Tom Founders Festival. “The act of Founding is difficult and takes perseverance, and Jefferson’s revolutionary legacy has relevance for entrepreneurial and creative individuals. The founders celebrated in this project show how Charlottesville is not just about history, but about the future.” The Founders will be featured on lamppost banners across the Downtown Mall, and will be the toasts of the Festival’s Fall McGuffey Block Party. The Fall McGuffey Block Party will be held on the last Friday in September at the McGuffey Art Center, a

Craft Beer Industry Helps Grow Virginia’s Tourism Economy With 82 breweries and more opening every year, Virginia has become a magnet for the craft beer industry. Local love is on tap and August has recently been named Virginia Craft Beer Month to celebrate the budding industry. The commemorative month is a great time to highlight not only some of the Commonwealth’s amazing craft breweries, but also to recognize a fast-growing segment of Virginia’s economy. Virginia’s state tourism development plan, DRIVE Tourism, identified craft breweries and distilleries as an expanding culinary tourism attraction opportunity statewide. Craft beer is big business in Virginia, making an estimated economic impact of more than $622 million. A study by the Brewers Association found that the craft beer industry employs more than 8,000 employ-

ees with an average wage of $33,541 and total labor income of more than $273 million. “Love is at the heart of every Virginia vacation, but it’s also at the heart of every carefully-crafted Virginia beer at more than 82 breweries and counting,” said Rita McClenny, president and CEO of Virginia Tourism Corporation. “Across the state, craft breweries are offering an exceptional travel experience for beer lovers, outdoor lovers, and culinary enthusiasts. “Virginia is fast becoming the prime East Coast destination for travelers looking for local flavor. Craft beer is also a multi-million dollar industry, contributing positively to the economies of small towns and big cities across the Commonwealth.” Many of Virginia’s craft breweries are located within or in close proximity to smaller towns and communities Places like Abingdon, Afton, and Salem now have breweries, and locations such as Bristol, Floyd and Glade Spring are expecting brewery openings this year. Many more communities are targeting brewery businesses to compliment other related tourism economic development efforts. Leaders in St. Paul, Virginia, for example, are interested in a brewery to enhance the experience of visitors who are now coming to ride the Spearhead Trails and float the Clinch River, both as part of key economic development initiatives in which Virginia Tourism Corporation has been involved.

Oakland School Oakland is a small boarding and day school for girls and boys ages 6—14 at admission. The specialized program is well suited for all students including those with learning differences and organizational, processing, or attention difficulties. The individual-

ized academic program incorporates multi-sensory teaching, daily one-toone instruction and an ungraded curriculum. This ensures that elementary and middle school students maximize their strengths and learn strategies and skills for success in their next school and beyond! Small class size (overall 5:1 student to teacher ratio) and a structured environment with professional, nurturing and experienced staff (all teachers are certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia) allow students to work at their own pace to reach their potential. Although the majority of students need support in one or more areas, many students attend Oakland for one to three years to get ahead in academics as they transition to a larger, more traditional middle or high school setting. In addition to the year-round program, Oakland offers a five-week summer camp, a great mix of academics and traditional summer camp fun! This program is a great opportunity for students to get a summer’s worth of focus on reading, math, writing and study skills to catch up or get a boost for the upcoming school year. Camp activities include horseback riding, swimming, archery, sports, art, nature and more. Oakland School is located just east of Charlottesville, near Keswick, Virginia. The tranquil setting and historic 450-acre property make Oakland School an ideal learning environment.

Woodberry Forest School Woodberry Forest School, an independent, all-boarding community in Madison County, Virginia, is committed to offering motivated boys what they need for the future. Thousands of families have trusted Woodberry Forest with their boys in grades 9 through 12 over the years. The school has honored that trust through its time-honored approach to an academic rigor and intellectual thoroughness, blending traditional values with the latest knowledge about how boys mature intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It transforms boys of promise to men of honor — and it calls that approach the Woodberry Way. Every boy at Woodberry is chosen for his potential to grow as a future

leader. Students come from across the country and around the globe, gaining the type of cultural fluency they will need to be successful adults. Central to the Woodberry Way is the boarding experience. Its residential character extends far beyond the extraordinary facilities on its stunning, 1200-acre campus. It influences every aspect of life here, fostering common experiences in its dorms, on its athletic fields, and during whole-campus meals and Sunday-evening chapel services. Its exceptional teachers live with their families on campus, where they can participate fully in the life of the school — and the lives of the boys. The Woodberry Way includes a commitment to single-sex education. Free from the distractions of a coeducational setting, a Woodberry boy gains the confidence to attempt new things — sports, artistic endeavors, a school play. He doesn’t see himself as girls see him. Instead, he learns to see the man he is becoming. But nothing embodies the Woodberry Way quite like its student-written honor system, which prohibits ly-

ing, cheating, or stealing. Established in 1899, the honor system upholds Woodberry as a community of trust in which everyone is safe, supported, and treated with respect. It’s truly a place like no other. Woodberry alumni are among the most supportive and deeply involved independent-school graduates in the country. They are dedicated to seeing the Woodberry Way continue. And, as the boys move on to college and beyond, a built-in network of Woodberry men is ready and willing to lend them a hand. The public is invited to come and experience the Woodberry Way. See for yourself why Woodberry Forest is one of the leading boarding schools in the nation. Meet with a member of the school’s admissions staff. Tour its campus with a student guide. Check out the dorms and athletic facilities. You’ll begin to understand why Woodberry is the best school to launch a boy on his lifetime journey. Visit www.woodberry.org or call the Admissions Office at 888.798.9371 to n learn more.

nergy-saving upgrades such as weather stripping compact fluorescent light bulbs, low-flow faucets and showerheads, and lifetime air conditioning filters can save you up to 25 percent annually on your utility bills. Here are some energy-saving tips you can apply to your home. And these don’t cost a lot of money, either.

Immediate insulation A good strategy in your green campaign is taking a look at places for immediate insulation—not the battings in the attic, but right at hand. For example, if your water heater is warm to the touch, that’s a sign that you are heating more than just the water. You can buy an easy-to-install insulating “coat” for around $25. If you have exposed water pipes or heating ducts, they may also be candidates for immediate insulation—to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer. Again, this insulation is easy to install and not expensive. It’s also a project you can work on foot by foot. And in winter, consider insulating yourself. That extra sweater or cozy fleece outfit lets you lower the heat a couple degrees. (In summer, use a ceiling fan. The gentle circulation lets you keep the thermostat a couple degrees higher.)

HOME ENERGY

Makeover BY MARILYN PRIBUS

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Go with the low-flow Low-flow fixtures like faucets, showerheads and especially toilets can offer significant savings. The American Water Works Association says nearly one-third of a home’s water usage goes to flushing with standard toilets. Lowflow models, at 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf), cut this by more than half which saves water and shows up as a saving on your water bill. In fact, there are even HET fixtures (High Efficiency Toilet) that use a mere 1.3 gpf. The City of Charlottesville and the Albemarle County Service Authority both offer help in the form of rebates. Both offer $100 each toward the purchase of lowflow toilets Convert showerheads to low-flow models for additional savings. Older showerheads have flows as great at 5.5

gallons per minutes (gpm), while newer ones are designed to feel nearly as forceful with flow rates of 2.5 gpm or even less. Adding an inexpensive aerator—a screw-on faucet tip—generally restricts the flow so less water (and the energy to heat that water) is used.

Prevent the bad flow You’ve heard it before, but sealing air leaks in the home can make a big difference in how much you have to heat or cool. Older houses are especially likely to have gaps, so check for obvious leaks by shining a bright light on the edges of doors and windows while someone is inside to see. Then use put-

ty caulk or rope caulk to seal cracks, both on the inside and the outside. Weather stripping comes in a variety of easy-to-install styles from sticky-backed foam to bronze that requires brads to keep in place. Most homeowners can apply weather stripping themselves.

Clean your filters When the filters on your furnace or air conditioning units and the lint trap on your dryer are not regularly cleaned, those units have to work harder. Clean the lint filter on your dryer after each use (tuck the lint in an empty tissue box) and mark your

filter change date on your calendar. Always have filters on hand available for changing so you don’t have to make a special trip to the store. An interesting alternative is to install washable air filters which are up to ten times more efficient than standard disposable furnace filters. Washable furnace filter are electrostatically charged and snag up to 94 percent of the dust and allergens that pass through the filter. These filters, which should be washed every three months, generally last up to five years.

Turn the lights down low Actually, with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) you can turn the lights “down” and still have good lighting. You see, a 75-watt incandescent bulb can be replaced by a 20-watt CFL bulb that uses about a quarter of the power. Multiply that power savings by all the bulbs in your home and you’ll be paying your electric company less. You won’t have to change bulbs so often, either, because the CFLs generally last 8 to 10 years. This is especially nice with lights that are hard to change like those in a stairwell. While CFLs can be used almost anywhere, special CFLs must be used with three-way lights, dimmers, or out of doors. Another consideration is that a broken CFL can release mercury vapor or a tiny amount of mercury powder. If a bulb is broken, suggests the Environmental Protection Agency, turn off your heating or cooling so fumes aren’t circulated and open windows to let the room ventilate. Don’t use your vacuum cleaner! Instead, wear gloves to clean up, using sticky tape to pick up the smallest pieces. Finally wipe the area with a damp paper towel, put the used towel in a plastic bag with the broken pieces, seal the bag and discard it in the trash. These may seem like small steps to take, but many small moves add up to real savings for your wallet and the environment. n Marilyn Pribus lives with her husband in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. “The secret to surviving winter is SmartWool® socks,” she says. “Summer’s secret is a whole-house fan plus two ceiling fans.”
