New-Home Solar Efficiencies CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

THAT RIVAL IMAGINATION.

With Stanley Martin Homes’ new-home construction, adding solar is a no brainer.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with SIGORA

Solar to offer you a 20% discount on a solar package when you build a Stanley Martin home. In addition to 20% off, there’s a

30% Federal Tax Credit for a possible total savings of $9,220* when you install a 5.2kW solar system on your new home.

IF YOUR HOMEBUILDER ISN’T TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR—TALK TO STANLEY MARTIN HOMES. (And ask about our 20% SIGORA Solar discount.)

{

For information visit us at StanleyMartin.com or call Chris Sylves at 434.975.7445 and ask for your 20% SIGORA Solar discount.

Model Homes Open Daily 11am-5pm

}

*$9,220 savings is based off of a 5.5kW package at $20,956 less the 30% Federal Tax Credit which is calculated after 20% discount is applied. This is for informational purposes only and not intended to provide tax advice. You should contact your own tax advisor concerning the amount of your specific tax circumstances.

System availability is based on roof size, home orientation and site conditions. Prices, features and availability subject to change without notice. Incentives are only available on non-contingent contracts written and ratified on or before January 2016. Number of bedrooms and bathrooms vary by home site.

NEWS & VIEWS

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is thrilled to welcome home six families this month, just in time for the holidays. This homecoming is made even more exciting by the fact that these families will be the first to move into the Burnet Commons III: The Park neighborhood lining Elliot Avenue in the heart of Charlottesville.

The Park is the City’s first major housing initiative in the Strategic Investment Area south of Downtown.

A unique private-public partnership, The Park is a collaborative effort among Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville, Southern Development Homes and the City of Charlottesville. When complete, the new neighborhood will transform a long-time City dumping ground into a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-income neighborhood built around a central park. In total, 18 Habitat families and 28 market-rate purchasers will call The Park home.

Neighborhood resident and Habitat Partner Family member Phyllis Turner couldn’t be happier to be home for the

holidays this year, and to start new traditions for her family.

“I can’t wait to cook a big Christmas dinner for my kids,” Phyllis said. “Being home for the holidays is a dream come true, and we can’t wait to meet all of our new neighbors!”

Located a five minute walk from the Downtown Mall and offering some of the best views in the City, The Park will appeal to a wide range of people looking for comfortable, neighborly, walkable and energy efficient urban living.

Southern Development and Habitat anticipate the neighborhood to be fully built out within a couple of years.

“What a special moment this is,” said Dan Rosensweig, Habitat President and CEO. “It brings us so much joy to welcome new families home for the holidays and we are honored to be part of making the SIA a reality.”

The mission of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is to provide safe, decent and affordable housing by working with low income families, volunteers and the communities of greater Charlottesville. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville has completed more than 165 homes since the organization’s beginning in 1991.

Habitat provides simple, decent and affordable housing options to more than 2,000 local, low-income residents. n

ulius Caesar chose the day.

Charlottesville showed the way.

Or we were a close second, at least. It was Caesar who in 46 B.C. decreed that January was the first month of the year – January, after all, being named for Janus, the Roman god with one face facing forward and one face looking back. Charlottesville has improved considerably on Caesar’s own New Year’s Eve, when Roman troops prepared for violent rampage. Following Boston’s lead, beginning in 1982 celebrants at our peaceful, alcohol-free First Night Virginia celebrations have looked back the next day, hangover-free, at an evening’s worth of music, magic, and comedy – and new beginnings.

Carroll Trainum came out for the very first FNV (“It was cold!”), began serving as a volunteer in 1984, and has helped out ever since. In 2000 he

invited a woman he’d met at a dinner party to join him. “We call it the ninehour non-date,” Trainum says today.

“Barbara and I volunteered for three hours and then spent the rest of the evening together.” At the end of the evening they toasted the New Year with friends, and she told him, “Carroll Trainum, you’re easy to be with.” The next year, the scene repeated itself, but this time, in a moment alone together

A FAMILYFRIENDLY

TRADITION

BY KEN WILSON

before the toast, the words were Carroll’s: “I stopped her and said, ‘Barbara Owen, you’re easy to be with,’ and then I dropped to my knee and proposed.”

Husband and wife will help make First Night happen again this year, as they have ever since.

The 34th First Night Virginia “community celebration of the arts” will take place December 31, from 3:00 p.m. to midnight on and around the Down-

town Mall, with dozens of family-friendly events. The annual Processional and Bubble Wrap Stomp – an all-ages, all-are-invited human parade along the Downtown Mall – will begin outside the Discovery Museum at 6:15 p.m.

Paramount Headliners “Action Comedian” Scotty Cavanaugh has performed in over 35 countries, appeared on numerous television shows, and won two gold medals at a

world juggling championship competition in Las Vegas. Cavanaugh juggles ping-pong balls with his mouth, laser light glow balls in the dark, and razor sharp knives while riding a six-foot unicycle. He’ll bring his “Action Comedy” to the Paramount at 4:15, 7:30, and 10:00 p.m.

2010 America’s Got Talent finalist Taylor Mathews hit the top 40 of the iTunes album chart with his first recording, Head Over Feeling, back in 2011, and funded his first full-length record with a $26,000 Kickstarter campaign in 2013. He models his live show, entitled The Hotel Party Tour, after his popular Head Over Feeling video. “I have yet to spend New Year’s playing music, and after taking the year off to write for the new record it’s going to be so amazing to share a few tunes I’ve been working on,” Mathews says. “I’m incredibly lucky to be a part of such a

powerful event in Charlottesville and to make a few new friends along the way!” He’ll play the Paramount Theater at 5:45 and 8:30 p.m.

try, delivering messages of peace and love and celebrating the rich heritage of people of African ancestry through high-energy shows featuring traditional music and dance, proverbs and parables. During the year, Chihamba holds programs for youth, dance and drum workshops, sponsors an annual African-American Cultural Arts Festival in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, and makes educational presentations in schools. The troupe will bring its timeless rhythms to City Space at 3:00 and 4:15 p.m.

Two of a Kind David and Jenny Heitler-Klevans are known as husband and wife, but when they’re harmonizing on David’s guitar and Jenny’s multi-ethnic percussion, they’re Two Of A Kind. The award-winning duo use puppets, movement, stories and songs to help audiences make music and believe they can make a difference in the world. “We have performed at First Night Virginia before, and we are excited to return,” David says. “We will have special guests with us: our twin sons, now 20-years-old, will add four-part vocal harmonies and a non-traditional brass section of French horn and trombone. We love to interact with audiences of all ages, so come ready to sing, dance, clap, laugh, do sign language and more! Our songs are written out of great respect for children – their experiences, their sophistication and their desire to explore big issues.” Two Of A Kind will be at Christ Church’s Meade Hall at 3:00 and 4:15 p.m.

“He is a former member of the Courtney Hollow Band, along with myself and Troy Gooding. Richard adds an extra level of energy and musicianship to the Ramblers, and so we are very happy about our sound right now.”

Along with their standard repertoire of sacred and secular bluegrass tunes, Hogge promises “some brand new original songs” for the First Night audience. “No one has had the privilege of hearing any of this material yet,” Hogge says, “but we are ready to try some of these songs out on an audience, so I would say First Night will be the first chance for folks to hear some of the songs that will be on our forthcoming release.” The Ramblers will play at First United Methodist Church at 7:30 and 10:00 p.m.

Jeannie (“the sparkle”) and Joe (“the master artist”) founded Goodlife in 1994, and have brought it to the Kennedy Center and Wolf Trap. “Last year was our first time doing First Night in Charlottesville and we had a wonderful time,” Joe says. “We are excited to return with our music and our puppets. Come on down and Croon along with our Critters.” Goodlife Theater plays at Commonwealth Reserve at 3:00, 4:15 and 5:30 p.m.

Ron Fetner Guitarist and songwriter Ron Fetner’s taste ranges from traditional folk, blues and early jazz to R&B and rock ‘n roll. He released his first solo CD, “This Box I’m Looking Through,” in 1997, and he’s put out four more since, while playing famous stages like the Bluebird Café in Nashville and The Bayou in Washington, D.C. “It’s been many years since I’ve performed in the Charlottesville area,” Fetner says, “so I am super excited about returning and performing at First Night Virginia. I will be performing songs from my five CD releases.” He will be at Christ Church’s Meade Hall at 5:30, 7:30 and 10:00 p.m.

The Virginia Ramblers With their rich vocal harmonies and their tasty licks, the Virginia Ramblers honor old-time country music royalty like the Stanley Brothers and Jimmy Martin.

University of Virginia professor Richard Will has a doctorate in musicology and lectures on 18th-century music, American folk and roots music, and the history and interpretation of musical performance.

And he plays bluegrass.

In order of appearance: Susan Munson, Jay Glick, David Kuland, Neal Goodloe, John Kelly, Brady Earnhart, Jen McDonald, Michael Cvetanovich, Drew Pompano and Debra Guy. “The genre singer-songwriter is something I’m really drawn to,” says John Kelly, whose own set is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. “I’m the youngest of five and I always felt really lucky to have inherited a great vinyl collection

of people like Jim Croce and Dan Fogelberg and James Taylor. All those people became my soundtrack early.”

Kelly recorded his debut CD, Brighter Days, with acclaimed producer Rob Mathews, who has worked with Sting and Panic! At the Disco. Next month he’ll begin recording his second. The Connecticut native began playing while in high school, but took a long time off for parenting and other responsibilities. “The singer-songwriter community here in Charlottesville is partially what got me back into it,” he says. “I’m really proud to be part of a group of people here who are so constantly writing and so continuously supportive of each other’s work.”

Skyline Harmony Skyline Harmony Chorus calls itself central Virginia’s “chorus of choice for female vocalists who seek the challenge and joy of four-part a cappella singing.” Known their scripts and costumes as well as their barbershop-style singing, they are proud of their ethnic and cultural diversity. “We are very excited about giving three performances at First Night Virginia, as it’s a magical evening to begin with,” says Julia Olsen. “We establish a rapport with our audiences that involves them in our music, our message and our fun in singing. Our group is a very proud chapter of Sweet Adelines International and we love to entertain with one of our country’s original art forms.” They will sing at 3:00, 5:30 and 8:45 p.m. at First United Methodist Church Chapel.

Sally Rose The Sally Rose Band brings a sweet southern flair to songs about love and loss, ghosts and witches, country life, moonlight and heartache. Lead sing-

er Rose is backed by the funk/punk electric guitar of Sweet Pete Stallings, the funky rhythm section of Benjamin Jensen and David Jacobs, and the cello, electric fiddle and the blood-close harmonies of Catherine “Shootin’ Moon” Monnes, also known as “Mom.” This spring and summer, singer and band recorded “Gotta Be Gold,” a wide-ranging album with fuzzy guitar riffs, 90’s grunge era chord progressions, a sugary folk duet, and Grace Potter-esque vocal stylings. Poised for a breakout year, the Sally Rose Band will hit the Omni Ballroom at 8:45, 10:00, and 11:15 p.m.

Youth Orchestras Founded as an outreach organization of the Charlottesville Symphony at the University of Virginia, Youth Orchestras of Central Virginia has provided the area’s only full-season symphony orchestra experience—strings and winds together—for nearly 40 years.

YOCVA comprises two full symphony orchestras plus flute and clarinet ensembles and a junior strings program, all for kids from elementary through high school. The orchestras will play in Christ Church’s Meade Hall at 3:00 and 4:15 p.m.

How to First Night It takes a community effort to put on a community event, and in addition to its many volunteers FNV has 22 sponsors, including Sloan Manis Real Estate Partners and Aker Wade Power Technologies, that help keep admission prices low.

First Night admission is by wristband, and a wristband entitles the wearer to admission to all events on a first come, first served basis. Through December 29 wristbands are $16 for adults, $6.00 for children ages 6-15, and $38 for a family pack (2 adults, 2 children). On December 30 and 31, adult tickets are $20.00, children’s are $9.00, and family packs are $49. Children age 5 and younger are admitted free. On December 31, wristbands can only be purchased at the First Night Virginia headquarters in the Omni Hotel Atrium.

Parking at the Market Street and Water Street Parking Garages are free with First Night wristbands. Free parking is also available at the Jefferson School African American n Heritage Center.

Wishing you a beautiful holiday and a New Year of peace and happiness!

can easily switch roles by shopping for furniture that looks classy rather than industrial. For example, select a desk that can be closed to serve as a buffet while concealing your computer. Choose storage cabinets that can double as side tables. Since few dining rooms have closets, use an armoire or shelving with doors to hide business materials. Another option is to choose a drop-leaf desk and file units on castors so they easily can be moved and stored out of the way behind a screen or formal draperies of some sort.

Good lighting is essential in an office, so make provisions for that. And since the office may be seen from other rooms, it’s extra important to corral that mare’s-nest of wires under the desk

HOUSE & HOME

Guest room

Double-Duty Dining Rooms

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

W

ith many homes becoming smaller, and apartments and condos often having limited space, it can make real sense to have a multi-purpose room. Depending on a home’s layout, the dining room is frequently a prime candidate.

Often the dining area is fairly open with archways rather than doors. This lends it to being an extension of an adjacent area, often the living room. For example, a wall unit with a space for a TV, can turn the dining area into an entertainment center.

Book shelves and comfortable chairs could turn the space into a library or den while still being able to serve as a formal dining room. With a protective covering, a dining room table can become a sewing or craft center. Supplies can be stored in wall units or on a pegboard concealed behind a large piece of artwork or a mirror.

One young family in Charlottesville turned their dining room into a parttime playroom easily supervised from both the living room and the kitchen.

The dining table was stowed against

one wall providing a “cave” underneath that kids loved. Toys were stashed in a series of attractive wooden storage units (instead of big plastic tubs) topped by cushions which served as seating for one side of the dining table when it was moved into place.

Another family created a game room. They installed a small pool table and used two sheets of plywood (which they fastened together with a piano hinge for compact storage) to transform it into a dining table when company was coming.

The Basics Furniture is always the key to a dining room with a split personality. Some furniture pieces can be opened to make substantial dining tables, then folded up again to take up very little room.

One Fluvanna couple, for example, found a drop-leaf table that’s seven feet long, but a mere 12 inches wide when the leaves are down. When guests are coming, they raise the leaves and can seat 12 at that table.

Another style is a table that opens out from a chest that stores the supports and leaves. When closed, it mea-

sures about three feet wide by two feet in depth, but when expanded it can comfortably seat 4-12 people depending on how many leaves are deployed.

Avoid or replace a chandelier in the exact middle of the room. Not only does such a light fixture shout “Dining Room,” it can be a hazard without a table underneath to prevent people from walking into it.

Studio/Office Since her dining room is conveniently adjacent to her front door, one Charlottesville music teacher uses her dining room as a studio. It includes a small piano, but the fold-up music stands and other musical supplies are easily stowed in the bottom of an attractive corner china cupboard. She has one of those “disappearing” tables that can be expanded for company.

If you create home office space in your dining area, be sure your office

Some furniture pieces can be opened to make substantial dining tables, then folded up again to take up very little room.

One grandmother recalls a family reunion when the dining table was moved to the garage and the entire dining room floor covered with air-mattresses for a flock of granddaughters, but that doesn’t work for most company.

It’s more likely that creating an additional bedroom will require some remodeling to add doors for privacy, although depending on the dining room’s relationship to other rooms (and your relationship to your guests) a folding screen could provide sufficient privacy.

Creating a guest room does not eliminate the possibility of the room still serving for dining. These days, fold-into-the-wall units still known as Murphy beds come in a remarkable array of styles. Modern wall beds counter-balance the weight of the bed and mattress, making it both easy and safe to lower them for use.

Some appear as a flat panel when closed, others as part of a wall storage unit. Designs may include shelving or space for artwork. Others are concealed by bookshelves that slide apart when the bed is to be pulled down.

There are even bunk-bed styles which have their sides to the wall and hence take up less space.

In the absence of a closet, a clothes tree can be put into service for your guests. You can often find interesting ones in antique shops and a handy person can even build one, perhaps in a style to compliment the decor.

So use your imagination to create a double-duty dining room that increases your home’s usability. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville. In the days when she taught guitar and banjo lessons, the dining room served as her music studio. Now it’s more of a greenhouse with many green plants.
