Atar Piano Trio performs Free Concert The dynamic Jerusalem-based Atar Trio will bring their Mt. Nebo program of American and Israeli music to UVA on Monday, March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. in Old Cabell Auditorium. This free concert is an Arts Enhancement Event, supported by the Office of the Provost & the Vice Provost for the Arts, and co-Sponsored by the McIntire Department of Music and UVA’s Jewish Studies Program. This concert continues the Trio’s success in expanding musical experiences in the concert hall, combining the richness of musical tradition with the innovations of contemporary approaches. It is part of a tour that will bring them from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, New York, Charlottesville, and Chicago, among other locales. In their “Mt. Nebo” program, the Atar Trio features music that draws on multiple folk elements: the Biblical past, as well as multiple ethnic and vernacular traditions. This program, with its variety of styles and virtuosic elements draws on the strengths of the Atar Trio, known both for its compelling performances of traditional music and their enthusiasm for interpreting the musical world around them. One of Israel’s leading ensembles, they are frequent guests at festivals in Europe and their performances have been widely recorded and broadcast. For more information please visit music.virginia.edu or call 434.924.3052.

Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry Purchases New Facility “Build Today, Feed Tomorrow” Capital Campaign Announced to Fund Facility Purchase and Renovations. More than $200,000 in Matching Funds Available Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Inc. has a new home to better provide food with kindness and compassion to low-income families in Central Virginia. The local grassroots non-profit announced today the purchase of a new facility at 2050 Lambs Road and the launch of the “Build Today, Feed Tomorrow” capital campaign. Charlottesville’s largest food pantry is now able to distribute food more efficiently to its neighbors in need. “We are very excited about the new space. We’ve outgrown our current facility. The number of people seeking our services has doubled in three years. The larger space is necessary to continue providing free groceries to over 6,000 low-income neighbors every month. We are now able to better serve our clients by providing ample parking, a larger food distribution area, and expanded cold storage, warehouse and office space.” said Loaves & Fishes’ Executive Director, Margaret McNett Burruss. A move into the new facility is planned for late summer. The purchase of the building was made possible by a $500,000 gift from Richard (Dick) & Julia Nunley, Caroline Nunley Satira, and John Nunley. Family members own and operate Better Living Building Supply and Furniture in Charlottesville. $125,000 of the gift is contingent upon the receipt

of matching funds from other donors. “We have chosen to support Loaves & Fishes because it addresses a basic need – the need for food. Jerry Denney, the volunteer founder and driving force behind the organization works tirelessly with hundreds of volunteers, part time staff and the full time Executive Director. We were impressed with every aspect of the organization and the dedication of everyone involved. There is an enormous amount of work distributing food to so many. This larger facility will increase efficiency and the benefits will be felt throughout the community.” said Dick Nunley. “We made a portion of the gift contingent upon the receipt of matching funds in order to encourage others in our community to support the work of this little-known organization.” The Perry Foundation has supplied an additional $105,000 grant to help with the purchase and renovations, which is also contingent upon the receipt of matching funds from other donors.

conductor Michael Slon, the concert takes place Friday, March 27th at 8:00 pm in Old Cabell Hall. Following their 2014 Fall Concert, which featured works the University Singers will be taking abroad on their 2015 International Tour, the Singers take the stage to present Ives’ challenging and moving Psalm 90 with organ, Dello Joio’s “Jubilant Song,” and Bernstein’s early work “Hashkiveinu,” in addition to other works. The Chamber Singers will also appear, performing Copland’s expansive In the Beginning, depicting the creation of the world with musical language familiar from his evocations of the open prairie and rolling hills of the American heartland. The program also includes several favorite American folksongs. The University Singers is the premier mixed-voice chorus at UVa, and recently has sung for the Les Misérables creators Alain Boublil and Michel Schönberg, as well as giving acclaimed performances of Handel’s Messiah and Verdi’s Requiem in Charlottesville. Founded in 1957, the group performs a cappella and accompanied choral literature ranging from chant to major choral-orchestral works, and the works of contemporary composers. Recent repertoire has also included Bach's Mass in B minor, the Bernstein Chichester Psalms, and Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms, as well as shorter pieces by Britten, Pierce, Lauridsen, and Whitacre. Recent trips have taken the group to Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Charlotte, Charleston, Chicago, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Providence, and the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. Later this season, they join with the Charlottesville Symphony and Oratorio Society of Virginia for performances of Beethoven’s Ninth. Founded in 2005, the UVa Chamber Singers is a select ensemble drawn from the University Singers, and performs a

He can be heard on a Naxos recording of William Bolcom’s Songs of Innocence which won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Album. Mr. Hill occupies the endowed Jason I. and Ellen U. Eckford Principal Oboe Chair. Sunday’s concert is underwritten by Lee Davidson Wilder and Scott C. Davidson. Know the Score pre-concert lectures will be presented 45 minutes before Saturday’s concert in Minor Hall and in the Forum at Monticello High School on Sunday. Free of charge, these informative and entertaining presentations by McIntire Department of Music Chairman and Associate Professor of Music Richard Will offer both novice and experienced patrons a deeper appreciation of the performances. Free parking is available in the U.Va Central Grounds Parking Garage, located on Emmet Street, on Saturday night and at Monticello High School on Sunday afternoon. Both venues are wheelchair accessible. Tickets are $10-45 for adults and $10 for students. U.Va students may request one complimentary ticket in advance.

f you love a rural lifestyle but still want to attend cultural events or eat at a favorite restaurant in town, consider Madison County. Situated between Greene and Culpeper Counties, Madison is committed to a comprehensive plan that limits sewer facilities, making large commercial development (including typical subdivisions and big box stores) unlikely, and assuring the essential agrarian character of this special place for the foreseeable future. Madison County also offers beautiful scenery and a multitude of outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping and fishing. In addition, residents who want variety can take advantage of easy access to the employment, shopping, educational, recreational and cultural benefits of Charlottesville, Fredericksburg and DC. The General Assembly created Madison in 1792 splitting it off from Culpeper County. It was named for some of the forebears of President James Madison, author of the Bill of Rights, who owned property along the Rapidan River.

Much later President Hoover purchased land in Madison County and built a summer home called Rapidan Camp where he went to get away from the stress of his job. Hoover captured some of the allure of Madison when he stated, “...even the work of government can be improved by leisurely discussions of its problems out under the trees where no bells ring or callers jar

one’s thoughts from the channels of urbanity.” Today buyers in all ages and price ranges seek out the peace and quiet that Madison County offers its residents. While a few people live in the town of Madison, most live in the surrounding rural areas on lot sizes ranging from three acres to very large farms. Many are retired, but the area is

also attractive to first timers who want more privacy and property, to people who work out of their homes some or all of the time, and to those who grow crops or have cattle and horses. The Madison real estate market is in recovery and property is selling. However, this continues to be a great time to buy a home or land there as prices are still reasonable and interest rates very low, which means everyone from first timers on up can find a great deal. And if they are like their neighbors, they can expect to be happy and enjoy their stay for a very long time.

Madison’s Real Estate Market Madison’s market is rebounding although perhaps not as robustly as elsewhere in our area. Long time Madison agent Bill Gentry, owner of Jefferson Land and Realty, explained that prices are stabilizing there. This is good news in that it means they are no longer in free fall. However they are lower now than at the peak of the market, and he doesn’t anticipate any significant appreciation until after the 2016 elections.

Why Madison?

The stabilization of prices is happening across the board Gentry explained, including everything from small lot residential properties to building lots and multi-acre farms with a house on 30 to 300 acres. All of this is good news for buyers who, he indicated, are now coming out to make a purchase.

As a result he has seen some real increases in sales. For example, he sold six farms in the last 18 months. “Life goes on regardless of the economy,” he said explaining that people die, get promoted, have children and experience other life changing events that make it necessary to sell their homes

and buy new ones. “They may get less than what they paid for the property but their lives move on,” he said, adding that they can deduct the value of their loss when they file their taxes. Christiane Lindsay with Montague Miller and Co. agrees that the market is picking up. “Sellers are not getting

People choose Madison for many reasons. Fabulous scenery is high on the list of what brings people to this area. Patti Lillard with Montague Miller and Co. described mountain views as the number one request she hears from most buyers. She added, however, that they also love the rural lifestyle where they can get involved with the community and where everyone knows each other. In other words, there is a quality of life here that appeals to many people. One way residents meet each other is through their participation in the schools. Julie Holbrook with Roy Wheeler Realty Co. is a native of Charlottesville who relocated to Madison County where she raised four children. She described Madison as a quiet place where school activities are a big attraction and parents are very involved. “Even people who are not parents come out and support the lo-

For example, Madison agents hear from people elsewhere in Virginia such as Richmond and Tidewater, as well as New England, Chicago and the west coast.

weekends away from the stress of a major urban area. A big reason Madison is attractive to people from Northern Virginia and other similar areas is the difference in real estate prices between the two markets. “Someone can sell a small brick ranch on a quarter of an acre in Northern Virginia for as much as $700,000,” Gentry said. Since a nice property in Madison with acreage and privacy can be had for just $300,000, they can pay cash and put the balance in a nice investment account to help fund their retirement. Madison may also be a good choice for first time buyers, especially if they are willing to commute to work in order to enjoy the kind of privacy they will find there. FHA loans with 5 percent down are available for those who qualify and now that is a little easier than it once was. Lindsay explained

for good value,” he continued, explaining that history has made them leery of being under water on their loans. More than one of the farms he has sold recently were for sellers who ended up selling for less than they paid for the property when they bought it.

Tourist Attractions Bring Visitors and Home Buyers to Madison People learn about the benefits of living in Madison County in many ways. However, often it happens that they come first as tourists, fall in love with the area and decide to relocate there. The easy availability of outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, camping and climbing are big attractions. President Hoover described the joy of fishing in Madison as an “opportunity for refreshment of one’s soul and clarification of one’s thoughts by solitude.”

that some recent changes have loosened some of the regulations for this kind of financing. Rural Development loans, which offer 100 percent financing, are also available. Gentry has had a few of his clients qualify for these recently. However he cautions that for this kind of low down payment loan both the buyer and the house must qualify; a possible problem with some older homes, for example one without central heat. Farm buyers are another group now active in the Madison market. Gentry described them as families doing well in their business or perhaps two income households. “These are people with some grey hair, in their mid to late 40s,” he said. Even though these individuals are relatively affluent and can afford a higher end property, many are not willing to borrow the maximum they qualify for Gentry explained. “Before they spend money they shop hard looking

Another big draw is the local wineries, which offer tours and wine tastings as well as special events such as weddings, music by local bands or seasonal festivals. One of these, DuCard Vineyards, is the only solar powered winery in Virginia. Visitors who want to stay for several days can take their pick of B & B’s some with interesting histories such as Ebenezer House, built in 1901 in Culpeper and dismantled and moved to Madison in 1984. If beautiful views, privacy and a country lifestyle appeal to you, ask your agent about Madison County. With prices and interest rates still low, now is a great time to buy, and you can rest assured that your property will remain rural and free of encroaching development for a very long time. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author who lives near Charlottesville.

Made in the Shade

Trees add Benefits and Value to Homes BY MARILYN PRIBUS

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

HOUSE & HOME

“MATURE AND YOUNG TREES as well as herbaceous shrubs and fruiting species add value and curb appeal to most properties,” declares REALTOR® Sara Greenfield. The founder of Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties, her college degree was in Forest Management and Outdoor Education. Greenfield explains she was very specific about leaving mature oak, maple, and elm trees on her property when she built her Albemarle County lakeside home. “Builders tend to remove all trees off the land,” she laments. “This is sad because trees provide shade and cooling in the summer as well as a place for birds to sit and sing. They also prevent erosion, absorb some noise, and are great visual buffers.” Many homeowners in central Virginia seem to agree with Greenfield about the value of trees. In fact, Charlottesville is designated a Tree City USA. This national program provides the framework for community forestry management. The four qualifying standards include maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and celebrating Arbor Day. Charlottesville takes an active role in preserving, expanding, and educating the community about its urban forest. The City has an appointed tree commission to advise on urban forest management efforts and policies, while the City Parks Department plants and maintains trees on public property such as parks, schools, and right-of-ways.

Local Volunteers For Trees The Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards (CATS) is a group of volunteers who support rural and urban forests by

increasing public awareness of the value and beauty of trees, educating residents about tree care, and partnering with local government agencies and civic groups to improve and restore the tree canopy in the area. “Ideally,” says CATS President Rosanne Simon, “we would like to have our canopy about 40 percent. That sequesters a lot of carbon.” CATS also encourages native trees. “We strongly recommend that people plant indigenous trees because the local insects and birds depend on them,” continues Simon. “If you bring in trees from other countries, the insects don’t like them so the birds don’t like them.” As an example, she says, our native oaks can be home to more than 300 different types of insects—many beneficial—and those bugs attract and feed our birds. “Oaks are some of our stateliest trees,” she says. “Other native trees are tulip poplar, sycamore, hazelnut, maple, redbud, and dogwood.” CATS will mount a plant sale at the Ix complex in conjunction with Master Gardeners on March “We’ll be stressing native trees at reasonable prices,”

Charlottesville takes an active role in preserving, expanding, and educating the community about

its urban forest.

she says. “Three-year-old trees are only $5 and five-year-old trees are $10.” Varieties will include many kinds of oaks, plus chestnut, persimmon, hickory, and a number of other trees and shrubs. CATS also sponsors mini-workshops. “You can gather a small group of neighbors and we will come to your area,” she explains. “We’ll talk about all aspects of trees.” For more information on the tree sale and other activities, visit www.CharlottesvilleAreaTreeStewards.org

What Is A Tree Worth? There’s little question most homebuyers viewing similar dwellings, one with trees and the other with none, will opt for the treed property and likely will be willing to pay more for it. In fact, American Forests, the nation’s oldest nonprofit conservation organization, notes that homes with trees sell faster and are worth between 4 – 15 percent more. Trees like those on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall incline people to linger at shop windows and spend longer

Marilyn Pribus and her husband live on a ridgetop in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. On two occasions, their homeowner insurance covered the removal of separate lightning-struck trees. Happily, they still have plenty of trees remaining.

“Healthy trees require good root systems, and new branches in order to provide the nourishment it needs to withstand drought, wind, and temperature changes,” concludes REALTOR® Greenfield. “The healthier the tree, the less likely it will succumb to blight, drought, or insect infestation. Be sure to care for your trees to enjoy their beauty and contribution to your property.” So, if you’re preparing to plant trees, get good advice on the best species for your situation. Take care of them as they grow, and enjoy the benefits and added value to your home. n

shopping. They also help purify the air and control a community’s stormwater, slowing rainfall through their leaves and filtering water through their roots to improve groundwater quality. Trees actually have a measurable dollar value. In fact, if trees are damaged or destroyed, owners might receive compensation through insurance or a claimed loss on their income tax form. While there are some widely recognized valuations, there are several ways to establish a tree’s value. This means it is important to find an experienced appraiser—probably a Certified Arborist. While the loss of a tree due to simple old age or insect damage is seldom covered by insurance, a sudden event such as flood, lightning, vandalism, or auto accident is deemed a casualty and may be covered. It’s always wise to have an up-to-date photographic record of your property and trees.
