cally and beyond. The program will feature speakers Tom Perriello (in person), Bernie Sanders (via live video stream), local activists and progressive leaders, and more. The event will also feature panels and breakout discussions to develop concrete steps for further progressive movement building. “Virginia is where it’s at. All eyes around the nation are looking at our elections this year. Virginia was the only southern state to vote Democratic in the last presidential election, and this is a huge moment to build a progressive movement to go forward. There are tons of grassroots organizations that have sprung up in the last half-year and tremendous energy behind them leading into this summit,” said Mieke Zylstra, founding member of Equality and Progress in Charlottesville (EPIC). This event coincides with the national People’s Summit taking place in Chicago, and the Charlottesville People’s Summit is very much connected to the values and goals of the national summit. The local summit seeks to bring together activists committed to an agenda that enhances and expands issue campaigns and holds all elected officials accountable to demands for justice, equality and freedom. The Charlottesville People’s Summit is sponsored by: Together Cville, EPIC, Indivisible Charlottesville, Charlottesville Democratic Socialists of America, Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice, Showing Up For Racial Justice—Charlottesville, BeCville, Cville Comm-UNI-ty, HeARTful Action, and Clergy and Laity United for Justice and Peace.

About Blue Ridge Medical Center Blue Ridge Medical Center is a primary care facility with pediatric care, dental care, behavioral health, and pharmaceutical as well as lab, imaging, physical therapy and a comprehensive outreach program. Blue Ridge Med-
ical Center has a mission to provide patient centered quality health care accessible to all people in its service area and to improve their general health and well-being through prevention, education, and treatment. The Center opened the doors of a small modular building in July 1985 as a result of efforts by active community members who responded to the need for improved access to primary care. At that time there was one doctor and three exam rooms. Through five building additions and ongoing service expansions, three doctors and six nurse practitioners along with a staff of nearly 100 members are providing primary care for 8,000 patients each year. July 2017 will mark the 32nd anniversary of Blue Ridge Medical Center.
Bringing Back the Love: Lovefest Celebrates 50 Years of Love, Protest and Possibility Saturday and Sunday June 24 and 25 IX Art Park If you’re going to Charlottesville, Virginia be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. Lovefest is coming to the IX Art Park this summer. Second and Monticello might just become the new Haight-Ashbury.
“These are turbulent times,” says IX Art Park Executive Director Brian Wimer, alluding to local civil-rights unrest and the distressed state of the Donald. “So, we’re adding some music to the movement. Plus a whole lot of ludus.” That’s Greek for playful love. For Wimer, love is the answer. And he’s not without precedent. In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love, the IX Art Park will be hosting an ambitious and amorous two-day music and art festival—23 hours of solid music on two stages, echoing the idealistic intentions of that optimistic era and its ostensible start at the Monterey International Pop Music Festival in June of 1967. “At IX we’re all about participation and the power of possibility,” says Wimer. “If Charlottesville wants to be the Capital of the Resistance, here’s its soundtrack.”

Can WTJU save lives? Not sure about that, but WTJU can definitely save your ears. WTJU listeners refer to the station as a “sonic life raft,” and for 60 years, WTJU has served in that role for UVA, the Charlottesville community, and beyond. That longevity is a remarkable achievement in itself. Way back in 1957, WTJU signed on with volunteer-curated music to enrich our community. The station has maintained a non-commercial format of eclectic music ever since. This June 3 - 11, WTJU will celebrate its six decades as a sonic life raft with nine days of special on-air shows. The full schedule is online at WTJU.net/ wtju60. “Across all genres, we’ll dive back to the music of the last 60 years,” said Nathan Moore, WTJU General Manager. “We’ve invited WTJU alums to come home to WTJU to host shows during the first two weekends in June. And throughout the entire on-air celebration, we’ll show what an amazing role WTJU has played in the cultural life of our community for so long.” “Anniversaries like this are always important to mark,” Moore continued. “But what I find amazing are the tremendous achievements of generations of hosts and listeners who built this station, nurtured it, sustained it, contributed their passion and skills and hearts to it.” For more details about WTJU’s 60th anniversary on-air celebration, visit WTJU.net/wtju60. WTJU relies on listener donations to carry out its operations. Donations are tax-deductible and go a long way to ensuring WTJU stays strong and independent. Donations are accepted at WTJU.net/donate. WTJU enriches the culture of Virginia and extends the educational mission of the University of Virginia by bringing together diverse individuals and communities through exceptional music and conversation. On the air since 1957, WTJU presents original, rich, and diverse programming in non-commercial radio broadcasting, digital media, live music concerts, and educational programs. n

NEWS & VIEWS
The Lovefest lineup features 40 local and regional bands covering genres from rock to reggae, hip-hop, folk, soul, experimental and world grooves including Brazilian Bossa Nova and Balkan Gypsy Punk—notable among them are Black Masala. Mighty Joshua, Eli Cook, Chamomile & Whiskey, the Sally Rose Band and Erin and the Wildfire. These and other artists will be resurrecting the ghosts of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker and Otis Redding, as well as echoing the sounds of Santana, Simon & Garfunkel, Steve Miller, Bob Dylan, The Who, The Band, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones … and the Fifth Dimension. It’s the Age of Aquarius, again. And a lot of progressive planning is coming into alignment. “I’m not sure now which is the icing and which is the cake,” admits Wimer. While the weekend is dedicated to music, he and the festival’s volunteer Love Army hope to create a multi-level, transformative experience for festival goers—mind, body and soul. “We’re all about process here. And rain or shine, we’re all going to be in this moment together. It means connecting. Creating community. And the music helps us mix it up.” Lovefest also serves up acrobats, belly dancers, hula-hoopers, jugglers, craft vendors, food trucks, non-profit tabling and several new artworks, including a LOVE sculpture built with a grant from Virginia Tourism—plus a gallery show and multiple interactive installations exploring the many facets of love (eight from the Greeks and 32 from Vedic texts). Art tables will be available for kids. As well an “instrument petting zoo” provided by The Front Porch. Plus henna, face painting, body painting and a tie-dye station. There’s a “trust café.” An adult inner sanctum for after-hours fun. And a live mermaid. Wimer adds: “We might even get a unicorn.” The music plays from noon-11p.m. on Saturday, June 24 and noon-10 p.m. on Sunday, June 25. Both days will be preceded by a pay–what-you-can morning of meditation and yoga for any who want to participate. A separately-ticketed late-night party on Saturday will retain revelers who want to keep the love alive. The full festival schedule and ticket information are available at lovefestcville.com or contact Brian Wimer at info@ixartpark.com, 434-218-8686 “At the end of the day, all you need is love,” says Wimer. He’s not being optimistic. It’s in the programming. Wimer’s high hopes stem in part from the IX Art Park’s motto: Dream Big. But he says he didn’t start the hyperbole. “We all know Virginia is for Lovers.”

T
he Rugby area is known for its proximity to UVA and its gracious, older homes, many of which date back to the 1950s and 60s, with some even older than that. Agents report that perhaps a third of the homes have had recent renovations, but many are purchased by families or investors with the intention of updating them and making them more livable for today’s lifestyle. This popular neighborhood extends from the University on the south to the shops and restaurants of Barracks Road and the bypass on the west and north. While large lots with mature trees and the charm of living in an older home are big parts of what make this area attractive, it also appeals to Charlottesville buyers who like a neighborhood where people know and watch out for each other and who take time to stop and talk when out for a stroll or give a friendly wave when driving by in a car. Walkability is another big plus for the Rugby area, much of which is in walking or easy biking distance of Barracks Road and the University making it a popular choice for those who like the option of leaving their car at home when they go to work or to their favorite restaurants, sporting events or shopping venues. Walkscore.com rates Rugby’s Venable neighborhood as the third most walkable in Charlottesville with a walk score of 76 out of 100— which means most errands can be done on foot. And of course the downtown mall is just a long walk or bike ride away. The large two story homes that characterize this area are especially attractive to families who also like the quality of the local schools. However Rugby also appeals to young professionals, telecommuters and retirees, all of whom appreciate the peace, quiet and safety of a neighborhood that doesn’t have a lot of through traffic. For UVA grads moving back to Charlottesville for all of its amenities, many choose Rugby because it reminds them of the city they remember from when they were students. Like much of our area, the real estate market in Rugby is healthy, with a shortage of inventory and a list of eager buyers that are ready and willing to purchase as soon as new listings come on the market. This means if you are looking for the unique, gracious lifestyle that this neighborhood offers, be prepared to make a quick decision when you find a home you like, as mul-
tiple offers on the same house are not uncommon and those who hesitate often lose.
Rugby’s Hot Real Estate Market
Buyers Love Charlottesville’s Popular
RUGBY NEIGHBORHOOD BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER
REALTORS® in our area are enjoying a brisk market this year and those who work the Rugby neighborhood are no exception. Bobby Montgomery with Nest Realty Group described the market in Rugby as “very hot.” He referenced one listing in particular that was initially advertised to the agent community as “coming soon,” with a date when it would be available for showings. Nevertheless it received three offers from buyers who had not seen the interior and quickly sold “well above list price.” The winning offer was all cash with no contingencies. Jim McVay, an Associate Broker with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., described the Rugby area as a place where people move in and stay so there is not a lot of turnover. This means buyers purchase homes to hold and renovate with the long term in mind because they enjoy the local lifestyle and feel they can reasonably expect their house to increase in value. He gave some examples citing some of his own listings that have sold recently. One was a home in the $600,000 plus price range that went to a family with plans to do some major renovations. The other went for over $900,000 and had been renovated several times already. However the new buyers expect to do even more updates to the home to make it perfect for them. The Rugby area’s relatively large homes appeal to families McVay said, but they are also attractive to retirees such as those who read the popular press describing Charlottesville’s many desirable features and, having decided to move here, look for the best neighborhoods. Rugby appeals because it is “a quality neighborhood with an old town feel.” There is a high demand for homes in Rugby that are “prepared for the market with a reasonable price,” said Tommy Brannock with Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates. In other words, the price must reflect the location and condition of the home. As examples of the high demand he described several homes that sold in the Rugby area last year after receiving multiple offers. Another example was a home in the $900,000 price range that went under contract quickly. While that contract fell through after the buyers had the home inspected, the sellers immediately received two other offers as soon as their home went back on the mar-

ket. Brannock believes the same home would have been listed at just $750,000 a couple of years ago. Inessa Telefus with Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates described the Rugby area as one with a “unique vibe,” being “an established neighborhood with distinguished properties.” She explained that the less expensive homes sell “very quickly” while those with higher price tags stay on the market a bit longer. For most first time buyers, the prices in this neighborhood are well outside of what they can qualify for, although
there are exceptions. Montgomery’s daughter got married last August and moved back to Charlottesville after a time away. She and her husband were first timers when they purchased their home in Rugby that they proceeded to gut and renovate before settling in.
Why Buyers Love Rugby Telefus described the Rugby area as a place with spacious, older homes that have a lot of charm, and even before they are updated, their quality is obvious in their “very solid construction.” Proximity to the University is a big plus for Rugby residents especially for
those who work there. McVay explained that UVA people originally built many of these charming, old homes, which at that time were in the county, outside of Charlottesville’s boundaries. Eventually, though, the neighborhoods that make up this community were annexed by the City. Today there are still UVA professors and administrators who live in and continue to buy homes in Rugby, McVay said, many of whom walk or ride their bikes to work. Rugby’s walkability, especially to the University, is a big reason for its popularity, Montgomery agreed. He added that once there, people wanting to go to the downtown mall for lunch or shopping can hop on the trolley at the Rotunda and be there quickly as well. Some of Montgomery’s recent buyers include doctors who relocated from elsewhere in Virginia and chose Rugby because of the short distance to the UVA Hospital. It’s not unusual, he continued, for people who move from outside the area to think initially that what they really want is to live out in the country. However, once they look at all the options many decide that living closer in is more desirable. Telefus worked recently with a buyer, a single woman, who fits this profile. The buyer looked “everywhere in the county,” Telefus said, but chose to
buy in Rugby because, “it was close to everything, it was charming and she had trees.” On the other hand, not everyone wants to face doing a big renovation, Telefus added. Some of her other clients were an out-of-state couple with children, both university professors, who looked seriously at Rugby but bought elsewhere because, in their opinion, “the houses ‘needed work.’” It’s not just University employees who appreciate this close in neighborhood. It is also often the top choice of alumni who “love UVA and would do anything they can to get back here,” Montgomery said. Often these people are young retirees from high-paying jobs like company CEOs who have been returning for reunions and finally decide to come back to Charlottesville permanently. The wealth they have amassed meanwhile makes it possible for them to spend big dollars on purchasing a home and then that much more to renovate it to their taste. Others that gravitate to this area are telecommuters or entrepreneurs of all kinds who could live anywhere, but choose Charlottesville for all of the reasons that it regularly shows up on top ten lists, Brannock said. Of course Charlottesville’s expanding high tech sector also contributes to the demand for close in properties,

attracting employees with high paying jobs who appreciate what the Rugby area has to offer. Brannock offered one more reason why Rugby can be a pleasant place to live. The University Police, whose responsibility ends with UVA’s grounds, are what he called “great neighbors.” He explained that they are friendly and comfortable dealing with students and can often defuse situations that might otherwise cause problems for nearby, local residents.
Family Friendly Charlottesville is considered to be a “great place for kids,” Brannock explained, and the Rugby area appeals to
KATHRYN HALL BENTLEY
families for lots of reasons. One of these is the large two story homes that are perfect for couples who want to have all the bedrooms on the same floor to be near their children when they are still young. There is also a safety factor built into the layout of this older neighborhood characterized by streets that loop around rather than going straight through. Anyone looking for a shortcut to elsewhere in town, who has mistakenly turned onto one of these streets, understands how frustrating it can be to find their way back out again. This means if you live in the area, and you see a car, chances are it’s someone you know.

Families with children also have high praise for Venable Elementary School that serves the area. Venable’s test scores were above the state average as reported by greatschools.org, where 5 out of 6 parents gave it an overall rating of five out of five stars complete with glowing comments. In addition, nearby Greenleaf Park is a family friendly place where parents can pack a picnic lunch and relax in one of the shelters while their kids enjoy the playground and the touch sensitive “spray ground” with its mushroom fountain and interactive water pole that promises to help them cool off on a hot day.
If you are someone who likes the idea of living close to town in an older home full of grace and charm, and if you enjoy being where the action is at the University, Barracks Road or the downtown mall, then the Rugby area may be just right for you and your family. Talk to your agent today before Charlottesville’s hot market depletes existing inventory even further and makes it that much more difficult to find the perfect home for you in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods. n Celeste Smucker is a writer and blogger who lives near Charlottesville.

hen buying or selling real estate, the first thing to know is that not every agent is a REALTOR®, although most are. A person must pass a written test before they become state licensed and may legally act as a real estate agent. States have their own licensing standards. A REALTOR®, on the other hand, also belongs to the National Association of REALTORS® which holds its members to high ethical standards. They must also adhere to a Code of Ethics towards their customers, clients, the public, and other REALTORS®. Whether you are looking to sell or buy, there are important things to know when considering a REALTOR®.
Here are some questions to ask: • Why should I hire a REALTOR®? • How long have you been in the real estate business and is this your fulltime job? While a part-time agent can do a good job, REALTOR ® Brian McCauley of Montague, Miller & Co. says, “An experienced agent brings

20
QUESTIONS For Your REALTOR®
•
• •
BY MARILYN PRIBUS
• a lot more to the table than just important networking connections and the ‘part-time’ question is super important.” • In the past year, how many homes have you listed and sold in this area? This gives an indication of the person’s success.
When Selling A Property • What’s it worth? REALTORS ® can provide a Comparative Market Analysis which provides recent selling prices for similar properties in your immediate area. While websites such as Zillow may state a price for your property, active REALTORS® can
•
provide a more accurate comparison since they will likely have been inside similar houses for sale and know which are completely upgraded and which are shabby. Are there ways to improve the condition of this property to get the best price? It’s important to know that most buyers these days are looking for a “turn-key” dwelling that doesn’t need a lot of work, even if a lower price might be offered for a “fixer-upper.” What would your marketing strategy be? Do you have a website? Many potential buyers tour the Internet first these days and want to see good photos of properties before they even get in the car to go looking. Will you hold open houses? While open houses don’t necessarily sell properties, they sometimes do. And if your listing agent holds other open houses, he or she can tell potential buyers about your property. What exactly is “staging”? There are professional services available for putting the best possible face on your property, but many REALTORS®
When You’re Buying
• What are the monthly maintenance and utility costs? • Are there homeowner association fees? Who covers waste removal? • How much are the real estate taxes? Could they be affected by my purchase? • What would my total monthly cost be? Would the seller carry the mortgage? • What would my closing costs be? • Is there anything I should have asked you that I didn’t?
The Bottom Line REALTORS® understand most potential clients interview more than one agent, knowing it’s likely you’ll feel more rapport with one than another. So choose a person you respect and trust when entering into an agreement to sell your house. If you are buying, always contact your own REALTOR®, even when you see another agent’s name listed for a particular property. n Marilyn Pribus is a former real estate agent with Goodman Segar Hogan in the Hampton Roads area, although her Air Force husband was transferred before she was able to become a REALTOR®.
Protect yourself, call Miller Law Group. Our team of real estate lawyers help individuals & businesses with real estate matters.

There are specific questions to ask about each place you tour. It’s wise to keep careful track of answers, especially when viewing many properties. • How does the price compare to similar properties and is it realistic? • How long has the place been on the market? • Has the seller made major renovations or additions? If so, how can I learn whether they are up to code?
• Can I learn if the property has ever been involved in a fire, flooding (either natural or from a broken water or sewer line), or other major damage? • What schools would my children attend? Would they take a school bus? • Are there plans for other development nearby—either large housing or commercial properties—that could affect the home’s value or create additional traffic or noise? • How old is the property? After a certain number of years, a new roof and other maintenance such as painting will be needed. • Do any of the appliances convey? Are there warranties on appliances, the heating system, the garage door opener or other amenities? • Will the seller provide a home warranty? • Are there any parking rules or restrictions? REALTOR® McCauley cautions that buyers shouldn’t expect too much information about financial costs. “We are not professionals in that realm and wouldn’t be able to give anything other than a very rough estimate.” But your agent should be able to guide you to the people who can give you the answers to questions such as:

have experience with this and can save you fees. • Will I be called before someone shows my property? Should I have a lockbox? What about my pets if I’m not home? • What does the listing agreement involve? How long is it for? Is there a cancellation clause? A friend said his cousin might be interested. If she ends up buying, do I have to pay you a commission? • Should I have a home inspection? How about a termite or pest report? Some REALTORS® recommend performing an inspection and pest report prior to listing, others don’t. Either way, ask why. • Will I need an attorney? • Is there anything I should have asked you that I didn’t?
