Cville Go Green Festival Local Green Businesses are gearing up for the Fourth Annual Cville Go Green Fest that will take place on Saturday, September 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Snow’s Garden Center, 1875 Avon Street Extended, just south of the city of Charlottesville. Dixon Disposal, Able Insurance and Snow’s Garden Center are sponsoring this event, along with local radio broadcasters Monticello Media. They are joining forces to give local, eco-conscious businesses a non-political forum to educate the community about their earth-friendly ways. Those who attend the Cville Go Green Fest will get a well-rounded Eco-Education and be entertained in the process. The Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA will be in attendance with their ‘recycled adoptable companions,’ there will be a bounce house for the kids (from Bounce-n-Play), free hot dogs, chips and Pepsi products plus lots of giveaways and eco-themed games/entertainment. Cville’s #1 hit music station, HOT 101.9 will be broadcasting LIVE from 11-1. “Recycling isn’t the only thing we can do to protect our future Earth,” said Mike Dixon. “It’s very important that we reduce our waste and reuse items as often as possible.” “Able Insurance has been a member of this community since the 70s,” stated Billy White, owner of the independent agency. “We want to do our part to make sure Charlottesville remains beautiful for future generations.” Corbin Snow, whose family has operated their local Garden Center and Landscaping Service for more than 102 years, stated, “Protecting the Earth for future gen-

erations is essential. Easy ways to be GREEN exists, we just need to be educated.” The Cville Go Green Fest is a family-oriented event held to educate the public on ways to save energy, live healthy and reduce their impact on the earth. “It’s encouraging how many local businesses want to be a part of this event,” said Denise Hood, Go Green Fest event planner and owner of Creative Juices Marketing. “They need a place where they can educate the public about their products or services without having to pay hefty vendor fees for that exposure.” This year’s Fest will showcase a group of businesses presenting information on saving energy in your home, living healthier, reducing your carbon footprint, building sustainable, teaching your children, and the easiest ways to recycle. The Cville Go Green Fest is free. Bring the whole family and visit cvillegogreen.com for more information, a list of participating businesses and daily blogs and videos.

Neurosurgeon, Eben Alexander, Speaks About Near Death Experience What happens when we die? Is there an after-life? New York Times bestselling author, Eben Alexander, M.D. will be the guest speaker and workshop presenter at Unity of Charlottesville on Sunday, September 21st, at 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Dr. Alexander, a renowned academic neurosurgeon, spent over three decades honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain, mind and consciousness worked. A transcendental near-death experience (NDE), in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection, changed all of that–completely! Alexander wrote about his experience of the afterlife in New York Times bestselling book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’ s Journey into the Afterlife. During his near-death experience, Dr. Alexander entered a realm of unconditional love and profound awareness of the nature of the universe, populated by angelic beings and a resonant, omnipotent and omniscient presence that he calls Om. Dr. Alexander openly shares his passionate understanding that Consciousness is the most profound mystery in the universe. His morning talk is entitled, “Eternity of Souls and their Connections.”

In the afternoon, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Dr. Alexander will co-present a workshop entitled, “Awakening Consciousness: Feeding the Soul through Sound.” In the workshop, he will talk about his inner journey then and now, his latest observations on science and spirituality, and the lessons, experiences and enigma of consciousness. He will be joined by Karen Newell, co-founder of Sacred Acoustics, and a pioneer in the technology of brain entrainment. Utilizing specific sounds as tools to assist in the expansion of consciousness, participants gain a deep meditative state of oneness, without having to go through a near-death experience. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and discussion about how to bring the insights from meditation into everyday living. Dr. Alexander will also be available for book signings. The morning talk, beginning at 10:30 a.m., is part of Unity’s Sunday morning service and is free and open to the public. The afternoon workshop, beginning at 1:00 p.m., is $45 per person and tickets may be pre-purchased at www.unitycville.org. Tickets will also be available at the door. For more information, call (434) 978-1062 or visit www. unitycville.org.

ravel a short distance east of Charlottesville and you will be in Louisa County, situated north of Interstate 64 and east of the Albemarle line. Louisa was once part of Hanover County, splitting off in 1742 when sufficient population justified a courthouse. The new county was named after Princess Louisa, the youngest daughter of King George II of England. Louisa County is rich in history. During the Revolutionary War it was a Louisa man, Jack Jouett, who rode through the night to Charlottesville to warn Thomas Jefferson that the British Colonel Tarleton and his troops were on their way. He arrived ahead of the colonel, allowing Jefferson and other Virginia Assemblymen (who had been forced to flee Richmond) to escape. Louisa also was the site of the

Close In with Lots of Amenities Battle of the Trevilian, the largest cavalry battle fought during the Civil War. Today Louisa’s vision statement describes the county as a “vibrant, dynamic and forward looking community.” It offers a variety of housing options for just about any buyer from first timers, to those looking for farm property, or empty nesters wanting a carefree retirement lifestyle. And these residential opportunities are supported by a growing commercial sector including restaurants, big box stores and medical care services.

Louisa’s Real Estate Market

Louisa is a big county which incorporates several major real estate markets and Multiple Listing Services. The Lake Anna neighborhoods on the east attract people looking for vacation properties BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER and retirement situations. On the western end of the county are homebuyers who may appreciate the short, scenic drive to Charlottesville and the top rated golf course at Spring Creek. In between are a range of rural properties from farms and estates to smaller lots, many suitable to first time buyers. These different market segments represent “different worlds” within the county, said Maury Atkins with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co. The real estate market is strongest in areas around the edges of the county where people can commute easily to major urban areas like Charlottesville, Richmond or Fredericksburg. It is less active in the

middle of the county in localities such as Mineral and Louisa that are located more than a 30-minute drive from urban centers. Atkins explained that for many people that much of a commute is just “too far,” although it can be attractive to first timers who are willing to drive further in exchange for a lower priced home. At Spring Creek at Zion Crossroads, sales are very strong whether for new homes or lots. Also existing homes are selling faster than they were a year ago with fewer days on the market, said Dan Girouard, Sales and Marketing Director who described 2014 as a “fabulous year.” Sharon Duke with William A. Cooke, LLC, described the market as “very busy.” She has been writing contracts all through July and August, usually a time when things slow down because so many people are on vacation. “It’s still a buyers’ market, “ she said, “but prices have come up recently.” She was also excited about the market in Spring Creek, which she says is doing well today and did not suffer as much as other areas during the recent economic down turn.

Why People Move to Louisa Louisa has much to offer individuals and families who want a relaxed lifestyle with a lot of convenience.

The county’s central location is a big plus, said Atkins who is a native of the area and lived in Louisa before Lake Anna or the developments at Zion Crossroads. Depending on the part of the county, residents can be in easy commuting distance of Charlottesville, Richmond, or Fredericksburg and, of course, Northern Virginia and DC are also easily accessible via Highway 15 or Interstate 95. People who live near Zion Crossroads have a short commute to jobs at State Farm, Martha Jefferson and other Pantops area locations, Duke said. She added that another advantage of living east of Charlottesville is that whether you’re going to work or coming home, you don’t have to drive into the sun. For variety, or in case of an accident, commuters can choose from several routes into town including Interstate 64, Route 250 or the scenic drive on Route 22 through horse country, she added. Louisa can also be a great central location for spouses who work in two different cities such as Charlottesville and Richmond, Girourard said. Many retirees like Louisa’s relaxed country lifestyle, but appreciate the easy access to shopping, restaurants and other amenities in town. Girouard has noticed a recent trend of retirees moving to Spring Creek from other

Who is moving to Louisa? Louisa is popular with buyers who want land. Duke, who is from Louisa and “loves it there,” was quick to explain that there is a lot of land for sale. “For years people in Charlottesville didn’t think to look to the east when searching for a home or a piece of property,” she said. “They are now realizing all that Louisa has to offer.” Her most recent sale was to some buyers from Keswick who like living to the east of Charlottesville, but wanted more land. Many families like Louisa in part because they can get a bigger house or more property for less than they would have to pay in neighboring counties. Duke described some beautiful river front property on the South Anna River with easy access to Route 250 and a wooded 45 acre plot available for $125,000.

HAROLD PAYNE | 434-981-0071

Margaret Ramsey with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co. has been working with a family from the Gordonsville area. They like the quality of life there and the small town feel but need a larger home for their growing family. They were lucky to find a 2,600 square foot home on seven acres for $250,000 in a nearby neighborhood in Louisa. Also of importance to families are the local schools. In 2011 an earthquake damaged Louisa’s elementary and high schools, both of which had to be rebuilt. The new Thomas Jefferson Elementary School opened this year. There is also a brand new high school complex going up which Atkins described as “superb.” The high school recently received a Bronze Award based on student achievement from U.S. News and World Report. Award recipients are in the top 25 percent of high schools in the country. There are lots of opportunities for first time buyers in Louisa today. Atkins remembers what the market was like before the recent downturn. Prior to 2005 there was nothing available in Louisa for under $200,000. Today a first time buyer can find a nice finished home in the $150,000 to $200,000 price range. For example, Duke described a 1,400 square foot home on three acres available for just $150,000. The popular Spring Creek neighborhood at Zion Crossroads has much to offer a variety of different home buyers including options for first timers or move up buyers. Of course builders can also accommodate the special needs of downsizers, Girouard said.

Spring Creek is also an attractive alternative for golfers with a course that rated #58 on Golf Digest’s listing of America’s 100 greatest public golf courses. It also made Golf World’s Best of the Best list, ranking #1 for course condition. In a related development that Girouard called the “talk of the town,” the new clubhouse at Spring Creek will be opening very soon. The exact date is not known at this moment but “stay tuned for details,” Girouard said. The clubhouse will have a restaurant, a lounge

and banquet facilities and overlooks the 18th green, which Girourad describes as a “fabulous setting.” There is also a Pro shop which has just opened. The new facility will add a nice gathering place and social element to this community which has been very well received, Girouard continued, explaining that prospective buyers “fall in love with it,” while established residents say that it is “worth waiting for.” Louisa also has a lot to offer buyers seeking a more rural lifestyle. “Louisa is incredible for anyone who wants an agribusiness,” Duke said. That would include people who raise animals like sheep, angoras, or alpacas, or any kind of crops. One of Duke’s clients was a nurse in Charlottesville before moving to Louisa where she raises vegetables and sells heirloom seeds. Also “the Mineral farmer’s market is awesome,” Duke said. “You can always count on getting “great stuff,” and there is always a good turnout, she continued.

Louisa’s Commercial and Economic Development There is growing commercial development in Louisa which makes life easier for its residents, and of course, the growing number of homeowners drives more commercial development. For example, an Advance Auto Parts store joined Lowes and a Super WalMart at Zion Crossroads, and the number of fast food places and the choice of ethnic cuisine are also growing, along with personal care services such as nail salons and an Anytime Fitness. An increasing number of medical and dental care services can be found in

The UVA Medical Park, a 45,000 square foot facility, offers a full range of services including imaging as well as primary and specialty care plus a pharmacy and a lab.

the Spring Creek Business Park which Girouard called a “medical campus.” Martha Jefferson offers imaging services including digital X-rays and mammograms, lab and EKG services, while full-time family physicians provide preventive and acute care, as well as chronic illness care and sports physicals. The UVA Medical Park, a 45,000 square foot facility, offers a full range of services including imaging as well as primary and specialty care plus a pharmacy and a lab. There are also dental services and a veterinarian, all so close to Spring Creek that Girouard jokes about how residents can take their pet for a check up in their golf cart. Industrial development has also come to Louisa. “Louisa County is really trying to keep the cost of doing business low in order to attract new industry,” Ramsey said. Two years ago they developed a plan to bring in new businesses, which is starting to pay off she continued. Today there are four business complexes featured at the economic development website yeslouisa. com which also advertises one of the lowest tax structures for manufacturers in the state. One Louisa business, QBase McNeil Integrated Solutions just won a $360 million contract with the US government. If you love a rural setting, but don’t want to give up the benefits of town, talk to your agent about Louisa, where taxes are lower and your dollars buy more house and land than they do on the other side of the county line. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author who lives near Charlottesville.

How does a TimeBank work?

COMMUNITY

SEPTEMBER 18 - SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 ISSUE 23-38

Cville TimeBank Members Swap Time for Services

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY MARILYN PRIBUS “Charlottesville scores as one of the top places to live, over and over,” declares REALTOR® Kelly Ceppa, an associate broker at Nest Realty. “We are one of the few small cities in the nation that has big-city cultural amenities like art, theater, and education. We also have small-town features like ‘community.’ One fairly new community feature is our Cville TimeBank.” The Cville TimeBank (CTB) was born as a project of Charlottesville’s Neighborhood Leadership Institute (NLI) Class of 2012. (NLI is a free program which teaches community members how the Charlottesville City government works while providing a chance for people to get more involved in the process. Concerns include development, transportation, and environmental issues; bridging the citizen/ government gap; and giving citizens a chance to take an active, informed role in their communities.) NLI team members Maggie Stein, Katherine Freeman, Charles Childs, and Kathy Kildea formed the core group of

TimeBank organizers. Also called “the kitchen cabinet,” they launched a trial pilot project in June 2012. “We put the word out to a few folks to invite friends and neighbors to help us shape it,” explains board member Kildea, a former probation officer and caterer who now works for a Charlottesville law firm. “We found 50 people right away and they made hundreds of transactions.” The CTB opened to the community in January 2013. “Using things we learned during the trial-and-error period, we formalized the organization’s structure, established policies, and created a member handbook,” Kildea says. “Today we have nearly 200 members.” Earlier this year, the CTB gained non-profit status. “We’re all volunteers now,” Kildea says, “but that status lets us look at some funding resources to perhaps pay a part-time coordinator and possibly have a small office. We think this would increase our members’ engagement and reach across the community.”

Here is a partial list of typical TimeBank offerings, although every one might not be available at a specific time: • Help moving heavy things/hauling • Home cleaning, repair or maintenance • Landscape, garden design and yard work • Bicycle repair • Meal preparation or catering • Massage • Yoga • Childcare • Elder care or respite care • Desktop publishing, writing, editing, proofreading • Bookkeeping or data entry • Tutoring for students or adults • Music, art and dance lessons • Seamstress services • Rides • Mediation • Pet sitting and care • Grant writing • Public Relations and Publicity • Legal services • Web and graphic design

TimeBanking is different from bartering because members calculate the time value of a service, rather than the dollar cost. In addition, members don’t need to swap their time directly with another person. Instead, they “bank” their hours through CTB, then spend them with any other CTB member. Volunteers like Kildea, for example, gain hours through their work for CTB. “Also,” she says, “I’ve also earned hours giving software instruction, helping in a garden, and teaching someone how to can tomatoes. My oddest job was peeling a ton of garlic for a member with a big food project.” She has spent her earned hours on a variety of services including pet sitting, troubleshooting on her computer, and transportation after surgery. “The TimeBank has put me in touch with people I probably would never have crossed paths with,” she adds enthusiastically. “There’s an amazing network of incredible skills right here in the community.” New people are welcome any time. After attending one of the frequent orientation sessions, new members set up a profile and account. The annual membership of $24 can be prorated. “The fee covers the software and also insurance coverage for members— we feel that’s a best practice,” Kildea notes. “If that $24 is a barrier for anyone, scholarships are available where we let the person contribute hours instead of cash.” In addition, members are encouraged to participate in social events sponsored by CTB. “It’s a chance to meet each other and share ideas,” says Kildea. “For example, the first Tuesday of each month we have drop-in hours— sometimes mornings, other times afternoons or evenings—at Lochlyn House.” (Lochlyn House is a historic property on Rio Road and was recently purchased by CTB members Joanie Freeman and Dave Redding.) “So much of what we do is on-line,” Kildea point out. “It’s nice to have human-to-human activities like potlucks, our community swap, and coffee chats. The TimeBank is the most rewarding part of my life at present.” “We love the TimeBank,” chimes in Lochlyn House’s Freeman. “We’ve gotten to know very special folks which we value a lot. It’s helpful to have opportunities to share peoples’ skills on a friend basis instead of a monetary one. It creates a whole different feeling to the interaction.” n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. She garnered a relaxing massage and a month’s worth of lovely homemade bread from two Cville TimeBank members in an on-line, fund-raising silent auction.
