While sports fans are following the World Series, the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA is giving animal lovers a reason to tune in and root for their favorite breed by hosting the World Series of Wags. It’s Pitties Vs. Hounds in the World Series of Wags and the winner will be the breed team to score the most adoptions through the end of October. So far, the Pitties have a two to zero lead over the Hounds, but the first inning has just begun. Either type of canine companion can slide in to a home for just $9. This amazing $9 adoption deal comes with services normally costing hundreds of dollars, including spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, de-worming, a custom ID tag, a Save-This-Life Microchip with lifetime registration, plus a free medical exam from participating vets, a free animal behavior CD and a lifetime of priceless companionship and fun. The Pittie Team includes all Pit Bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers and American Bulldog Mixes. The

Hound Team is made up of all Hound mixes including Foxhounds, Coonhounds and Treeing Walker Coonhounds. There are dozens of dogs to choose from with varying temperaments. We’ve got couch potatoes ready to curl up with you, the best running buddies you can find, or your dog’s new BBF. Don’t strike out, this home run of a deal ends on October 31st. The mission of the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the lost, abandoned, and homeless animals of the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle and to increase the number of these animals being placed in appropriate, loving, and permanent homes through adoptions, foster care, and outreach, and to set a standard of excellence and leadership in shelter animal care, humane education, and progressive animal welfare programs. For more information about the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA call 434-973-5959 or visit our website at www.caspca.org. The SPCA’s main adoption center is located at 3355 Berkmar Drive in Charlottesville and is open seven days a week from 12 PM– 6 PM.

Encyclopedia Virginia Receives Statewide “Friend of Education” Award Encyclopedia Virginia, a project and publication of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, has been selected as the 2014 Virginia Council for the Social Studies (VCSS) Friend of Education. The award honors organizations or individuals who advocate and provide resources for social studies throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Encyclopedia Virginia (EV), viewable at EncyclopediaVirginia.org, is an authoritative and user-friendly resource on the history and culture of Virginia. The Board of VCSS selected EV as the 2014 Friend of Education because it provides teachers and students in Virginia and throughout the world with high-quality and accessible primary sources, innovative pedagogy, and history scholarship. Laura Delmore Lay, VCSS President, explained that EV’s “continued and supportive presence at [the VCSS] annual conferences, both by presenting and exhibiting, has ensured that thousands of teachers and students now use Encyclopedia Virginia on a regular basis.” “We’re thrilled,” Matthew Gibson, EV’s editor, said. “We created EV for the educational community and this award underscores that teachers value what we do and it is useful for them. The VCSS annual conference is always one of the highlights of our year!” EV publishes topical and biographical entries written by scholars, edited

The Women’s Initiative has been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation. The grant will help women overcoming past or current abuse by providing mental health counseling and group therapy. “Each year a significant number of women served in our Mental Health Program have experienced or witnessed abuse and received services in our community related to this issue,” said Elizabeth Irvin, the agency’s Executive Director. “Almost all of these women experience anxiety, depression, and trauma in direct response to abusive relationships.” The Women’s Initiative was founded in 2007. Its purpose is to provide low income, underserved women with access to high quality mental health services. “The Women’s Initiative helps to prevent women from developing more severe mental distress that can lead to expensive hospitalization and/ or intensive Region Ten services,” said Liz Dorn, the agency’s development director. “Many thanks to the Verizon Foundation and Verizon Government Affairs Manager Steve Cronemeyer for

investing in our community through this generous grant.” Cronemeyer said, “Verizon supports nonprofits like The Women’s Initiative as they strive to improve the communities where our employees work and live – particularly through their work on mental health recovery for women who have suffered from domestic violence, a silent epidemic in this country.” For more than a decade, Verizon, through its various business units and its philanthropic foundation, has been a champion of ending domestic violence. Verizon supports a broad range of programs that include: training health care practitioners and first responders about screening for signs of abuse; engaging men as role models and advocates for prevention; educating teens about preventing dating violence; and providing resources for domestic prevention organizations and survivors. Through the Verizon Wireless HopeLine program, people can help by donating cell phones and accessories they no longer use – no matter the condition of the phone or their carrier. Phones collected at Verizon Wireless stores will be refurbished or recycled, and the proceeds will go toward putting a cell phone with prepaid minutes into the hands of domestic violence n victims.

To “educate and engage audiences on the art of film.” To “promote discussions between artists, students, academics, and audiences about the films and how they relate to the world in which we live.” And, not to forget, to “support the films and filmmakers of the Commonwealth of Virginia.” At the Virginia Film Festival, watching Oscar winners and Oscar contenders is only part of the fun, and part of the idea. Now in its 27th year, the increasingly popular event derives its uniqueto-the-U.S. mission from its presenting body, the University of Virginia. It’s a film festival with guest talks by stars and directors, or an unusually exciting academic conference with illustrations by Godard and Chaplin. Take your pick – and do it this November 6-9 from more than one hundred screenings and numerous panel discussions, plus parties, competitions, and a day’s worth of educational fun for the whole family. “Once again this year, I think we have an incredibly strong program of films that entertain and engage us in addition to inspiring important dialogue around the issues we face every single day,” says Festival director and UVA Vice Provost for the Arts, Jody Kielbasa. “We are thrilled to welcome an extraordinary lineup of special guests who include all-time acting and directing greats, some of today’s most talented actors, leading cultural figures and personalities, and the largest collection of filmmakers we have ever brought in for the Festival.”

“One of the first things I wanted to focus on when I started working for the university and the film festival,” Kielbasa says,

“is how we could more effectively engage with the community.” brother. Director James Franco’s adaptation was produced by Festival advisory board member Lee Caplin, and stars Franco, Seth Rogen, Joey King, Danny McBride and Scott Haze, with Loretta Devine as the wise and longsuffering maid, Dilsey. “James Franco is a guy that really constantly surprises me,” Kielbasa says. “It seems every time I turn around he’s doing something that is period or new and exciting and different, from doing Of Mice and Men on Broadway most recently, to popping up in more commercial fare. Danny McBride hails from the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area as well, so it’s a really interesting cast.” Miller School graduate Scott Haze was one of Variety’s Top 10 Actors to Watch for 2013. He will discuss the film following its 6:15 p.m. Friday screening at PVCC. Television journalist and talk-show host (and UVA alum!) Katie Couric will be at Culbreth Theatre at 2:00 p.m. Saturday to screen and discuss Fed Up, a new documentary by Stephanie Soechtig with the startling claim that “everything we’ve been told about food and exercise for the past 30 years is dead wrong.” Examining the epidemic of childhood obesity through interviews with food and nutrition experts and the heartbreaking stories of overweight kids, “the film the food industry doesn’t want you to see” blames the corporate juggernaut “Big Sugar” and its allies in government for a problem they didn’t want to control.

THE SOUND AND THE FURY SHAFT

Longtime festivalgoers know to expect an exciting new release on Saturday evening at the Paramount. This year’s Centerpiece film, November 8 at 8:00 p.m., is 5 to 7, a “cinq-a-sept” romance between an aspiring novelist (Anton Yelchin), and the sophisticated wife of a French diplomat (Bérénice Marlohe). Lambert Wilson plays the diplomat and Frank Langella and Glenn Close play the writer’s disapproving parents. Langella will be interviewed after the screening, along with director Victor Levin, and 5 to 7 producers Julie Lynn and Bonnie Curtis. “One of the first things I wanted to focus on when I started working for the university and the film festival,” Kielbasa says, “is how we could more effectively engage with the community.” With this his sixth Virginia Film Festival, he notes, “the growth of the festival these past couple of years, and the impact that it’s had on our community, is something that makes me proud.” Part of that impact has been achieved through partnering with other public-spirited institutions – showing classics with the Library of Congress, for instance, and works of political import with the Miller Center. As part of its own mission to introduce indigenous artists to new audiences, UVA’s Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection is joining with the Festival this year to show three new films: an Australian Aboriginal documentary, a Navajo feature-length drama, and a vampire comedy from New Zealand.

Newcomb Hall, looks at Yolngu Aboriginal families through their choice of cell phone sounds. Drunktown’s Finest, 9:00 p.m., Friday, November 7 at PVCC, follows an adopted Christian girl, a rebellious father-to-be, and a promiscuous transsexual on the Navajo reservation where director Sydney Freeman grew up. The “mockumentary” What We Do in the Shadows, 9:15 p.m., Saturday November 8 at Newcomb Hall, charts the daily travails of vampire roommates, all from different historical periods, as they try to adapt to 21st century life – finding fresh blood is the easy part. What We Do in the Shadows “is solidly in my top three vampire films at Sundance this year,” cracks Festival programmer Wesley Harris. Not just funny, the film “is also wicked smart in how it deconstructs the genre tropes and the mythos of the vampire as it’s evolved in the pop version. I think it’s going to go on to be a pretty big film in the long run.” Harris has high expectations as well for two films that shared the Jury Prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival: 25-year old director Xavier Dolan’s emotionally-charged Mommy (“deeply character-driven, experimental in unexpected ways; maybe a future cult hit”), and revered 83-year old director Jean Luc Godard’s Goodbye to Language 3D, the story of a married woman and a single man who fall in and out of love, told in typically experimental, pastiche fashion. Mommy will be shown Friday at 8:30 p.m. at the Regal Theater on the Downtown Mall. Goodbye to Language will be screened at the Regal on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Godard is most celebrated for his radical 1960s films that demonstrate a deep knowledge of film history. Charlie Chaplin was an English actor, comedian and silent film director whose bumbling, mis-

leader and former national NAACP chairman Julian Bond, and Deborah McDowell, Director of the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies at UVA. “It seems like each year we receive more films, and more impressive films, that highlight Virginia filmmaking – and by that I mean films that were either made in Virginia or by filmmakers with distinct Virginia ties or roots,” Harris says. “This year’s crop was exceptionally strong.” The Winding Stream, 7:45 p.m., Saturday, at the Dickinson Center, traces the career of old time country music’s legendary Carter family, from their first recordings in Bristol, Virginia in 1927, to June Carter’s marriage to Johnny Cash, and the efforts of family members today to keep their musical legacy alive. This documentary Big Moccasin, 4:15 p.m., Friday at the Regal, explores faith and tradition along Big Moccasin Road, a 25-mile stretch in the Appalachian Valley in Southwest Virginia. Besides celebrating Virginia filmmaking, the festival also nurtures the next generation of film pros and film fans with Family Day, a free, all-day Saturday affair, now on UVA’s Betsy and John Casteen Arts Grounds. This year the red carpet leads directly to the yellow brick road in a 75th anniversary screening of one of Kielbasa’s favorite films, The Wizard of Oz, 10:00 a.m. at Culbreth Theatre.

OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2014 ISSUE 23-44

At 0839 hours on January 31, 2014, units responded to the report of a wall in flames inside a residence. The cause is classified as a chimney fire. The Fire Marshal’s office estimates the loss from this fire at $100,000. At 0047 hrs on March 4, 2014, units responded to the report of a residential structure fire. The cause of the fire is a malfunctioning chimney. The Fire Marshal’s office estimates the loss for this fire at $130,000. While the releases didn’t disclose whether these chimneys had been safety checked and properly cleaned, Assistant Albemarle County Fire Marshal Mel Bishop says, “During the

winter months, half of all heating fires are in chimneys, stovepipes, and heating apparatus. Especially in rural areas, about 39 percent of winter fires are chimney fires.”

CHIMNEY SAFETY Starts With a

What does a chimney do?

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

Chimneys are necessary for any solid-fuel burning system such as a fireplace, woodstove, pellet stove, or coal stove. Non-electric furnaces also need venting which is sometimes combined in a chimney. Chimneys carry the byproducts of combustion safely from the house. These byproducts can include smoke, unburned fuel particles, hydrocarbon, minerals, gases including carbon monoxide, and other substances. Chimney fires can be frightening, sending flames and smoke pouring from the top of the chimney. They can also be slow burning when there is a

meager supply of oxygen. “Sometimes a smoke alarm goes off,” says Bishop, “and homeowners finally discover fire in their attic from a chimney.” In either case, high temperatures can cause damage to the chimney structure or even ignite the house. If you ever have a chimney fire, call 9-1-1 immediately! While codes can vary from one region to another, in general they address the height of the chimney above the roof, the thickness of the chimney walls, the construction of the flue or chimney lining, and other safety re-

Clean Sweep

quirements. In older construction, chimneys may be unlined and thus don’t meet current safety codes. Factory-produced metal chimneys for venting woodstoves or metal fireplaces must generally withstand flue temperatures of over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the pipes connecting a woodstove to the flue may not withstand such temperatures and can warp or even separate in the event of a chimney fire. When a chimney fire occurs, temperatures can exceed 2000 degrees,

disintegrating mortar, cracking or collapsing tiles or liners, providing space for flames to ignite combustible materials of the house itself.

Why do chimney fires happen? “The cause of chimney fires is the buildup of creosote,” explains Bishop, “often because of green wood.” Creosote is all about those byproducts going up the chimney. It can be black or brown, flaky, sticky, crusty, or hardened to a dark gloss—sometimes all in the same chimney. In any case, it is highly combustible.

(StatePoint) A beautiful lawn is important for a lovely home, but when those autumn leaves begin to fall, some extra effort is required to keep things picture perfect. This once meant firing up noisy machinery and piling up bag after bag of yard waste. Now that we live in more environmentally-conscientious times, this might not seem like such a responsible idea. Doing things by hand doesn’t have to lead to a sore back. Learning some helpful hints can make your lawn really stand out this year and help you get the job done in a breeze. Spring is when the lawn and garden really come into full bloom, but fall is when plants are storing energy and nutrients to have ready when the season turns. Like an athlete training in the offseason, get a step up on the competition by building a good foundation. Now’s the time to fertilize and aerate since roots keep growing and storing energy even when above-ground growth slows during the colder months. Don’t forget to keep watering too!

Weeding can be made less painful if you adhere to the old gardener’s trick of completing this task after it rains. When the earth is dry, it’s harder to pull out the whole weed without breaking off the top. After rainfall, the ground is soft, making it easier to pluck out entire weeds. They can easily be added to leaves and other debris that needs to be hauled away. Leaves can smother your lawn if enough of them build up, preventing sunlight from reaching the grass and increasing the chances of lawn disease. Collecting the leaves in bags allows your lawn to breathe and receive proper sunlight. The average cost to remove leaves is $374. There are easy DIY methods that can save you money. To make your life easier and get the job done faster, consider using tools such as the EZ Leaf Hauler, which acts like a giant dustpan for leaves, and is a cost-effective, green alternative. Reduce waste by packing more leaves into every bag with tools like the EZ Leaf Stomper or using leaves and yard debris for mulch or compost. Good posture can also prevent backaches when raking leaves. Keep your head up and back straight. Relieve back pressure by raking in the “scissors” stance: placing one foot forward and the other back and reversing position when comfortable. Another option is to haul tarps by using pull handles like EZ Tarp Tugger. Opt for ergonomically designed rakes, shears and pruners that require less hand strength and provide a comfortable non-slip grip to help prevent muscle soreness. More information on innovative tools for raking, hauling and bagging yard waste can be found at www.ezlawnandgarden.com Get a head start on home improvement this fall with smart lawn and garden care. Grab the kids and get the clippers, rake ‘em in and bag ‘em up. n
