Tickets Now on Sale for “Hope & Sacrifice: A Conversation with Khizr Khan” In fewer than three hundred words, Khizr Khan electrified viewers around the world when he took the stage at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, extolling the promises and virtues of the U.S. Constitution. Through his new memoir, An American Family—an urgent and timeless immigrant story— we learn that Khan is a patriot, and a fierce advocate for the rights, dignities, and values enshrined in the American system.

The twenty-fourth annual Virginia Festival of the Book announced today that tickets are now available for the 2018 Festival headlining program, “Hope & Sacrifice: A Conversation with Khizr Khan.”

The author-advocate will discuss his experiences as an immigrant, the U.S. Constitution, our rights as Americans, and the legacy of democracy—that we are each empowered to protect—in conversation with Douglas Blackmon, host of American Forum at the Miller Center. Book sales and signing will follow.

“Khan’s story is both unique and archetypal. Like generations of immigrants before them, the Khans sacrificed in order to achieve the American Dream.”—BookPage WHEN: Thursday, March 22, 2018, 8:00-9:30 p.m.

WHERE: Martin Luther King Jr. Performing Arts Center, 1400 Melbourne Drive, Charlottesville, VA ADMISSION: Tickets are $5 each and available at VaBook.org. All seating is general admission.

Confusion about the ACA: JABA Insurance Counselors respond A recent report on local media said that people across Central Virginia are “shocked and worried” about the rising cost of health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, as open enrollment for the coverage began earlier this month. The report suggested the Affordable Care Act was no longer affordable.

While it’s true that health insurance costs have increased significantly for some people, JABA’s certified ACA Insurance Counselor wanted to remind people that the ACA is still working fine for the people it was designed for— those with lower incomes who could not otherwise afford health insurance.

As JABA Insurance Counselor Joe Bernheim points out, the political confusion in Washington about the future of our health insurance system—and the last minute decision not to pay for benefits that insurance companies are required by law to provide—has caused many insurance companies to pull out of the ACA marketplace, and those who have remained have had to reduce their risks by raising rates, which has hit those not income-eligible for federal subsidies the hardest.

“We have noted a large difference in insurance costs for people who do and do not qualify for subsidy support,” says Bernheim, “because the benchmark premiums have gone up. But for people with a subsidy this balances out and their net premiums haven’t changed that much.”

“Risk for insurance companies has gone through the roof,” says one JABA ACA Counselor, “because there is currently no stability in the system.”

Indeed, one way insurance companies are trying to reduce their risk is by adjusting their rates based on state and region (and by the health networks they serve), a situation that is confusing to many people. For example, a person living in Charlottesville might have to pay more for the same plan than does a person living in Orange County, and the same goes for people living in different states.

Bottom line, though, as all our JABA Counselors emphasize, if you are income-eligible for a government sub-

sidy based on your individual circumstances you can get affordable health insurance under the ACA. Recently, JABA counseled a 25-year old woman making $25,000 a year on shopping for health insurance through the ACA. JABA was able to find her an Optima Silver Health Plan for $111.00 a month. And a family of four with an income of $55,000 was able to purchase a similar Silver plan for $224.36 a month.

“You can have a substantial income and still get help,” says another JABA Counselor.

Indeed, individuals making $47,520 or less a year, and a family of four making $97,200 or less a year, are eligible for subsidies under the ACA. And the limits go up with household size.

Of course, if you fall outside those subsidy limits, that’s where the trouble is, and that’s where people are getting hit the hardest.

“Every situation is unique,” says Bernheim, “and you may be surprised by the benefits you can get. That’s why it’s important to get the facts before you decide.”

Both JABA and the Legal Aid Justice Center are offering FREE counseling appointments during the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) Open Enrollment period, now through December 15. JABA is located on Hillsdale Drive behind Toy-R-Us on Route 29 North, and the Legal Aid Justice Center is on Preston Avenue, right near Washington Park. JABA will also have Mobile Office Units in Charlottesville and surrounding counties during the enrollment period.

Call JABA at 434-817-5248 or the Legal Aid Justice Center at 434-2201496 and schedule your appointment.

The Arc of the Piedmont A New Location Brings New Vitality After more than five decades of providing services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, The Arc of the Piedmont is getting new

digs—moving from its long-time home on Park Street to a new spacious facility at 1149 Rose Hill Drive. The new building will allow for the expansion and upgrade of activities and programs and provide a safe and stimulating space from which to spearhead The ARC’s core mission of service, community education and advocacy.

The property on Rose Hill Drive is currently undergoing a significant renovation to adapt the building and outside space to better serve The Arc’s programs and to elevate its accessibility for both clients and staff. Included in the project: a 2-story addition with an elevator and a 2,000 square foot activity center—a vast improvement over the current space with just 350 square feet.

A generous donation from the Perry Foundation provided a $240,000 matching grant. Additional funding came through a USDA special program as well as grants from Bama Works, the Civitan Foundation and Charlottesville Gives Fund. Blue Ridge Bank wrote the mortgage.

The Arc also has an active capital development program soliciting individual and corporate donations and using creative fundraising events to augment the fundraising program. The organization’s signature kick-off event—the Casino Royale Gala—at the elegant Glenmore Country Club took place on April 22, 2017 and raised more than $25K and the recent Fall Golf Classic at Old Trail Golf Club in Crozet netted $20K+. Our next event is our annual Great Charlottesville Santa Fun Run & Walk on December 3 and we are hoping to have over 750 Santas and elves on the Downtown Mall.

The Arc of the Piedmont provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities using five group homes, three day programs, seven sponsored residential sites and in-home services. Advocacy for a full and rich life within our community is paramount and drives the organization’s mission in the city of Charlottesville as well as in a

The Arc of the Piedmont delivers an array of support services. The Arc’s group homes are community based and have a “home-like” ambience that supports the philosophy that each resident should establish individual skills and independence in a safe and nurturing group setting that still fosters personal choice.

Group homes are staffed 24 hours daily by qualified professionals. The three Adult Activity Centers are located in Charlottesville, Louisa and Nelson and provide day support services on both full-time and part-time bases.

The Activity Centers serve a clientele with a wide diversity of needs, and programs are personally tailored and implemented based on each participant’s individual goals. In-home services are provided to both adults and youth and offer 1:1 in-home assistance. Sponsored residential service is offered by families, contracted through the Arc, who provide care to individuals in their homes.

Notes Executive Director, John Santoski, “We are so grateful to our community partners for making the purchase and renovation of our new facility a reality. This new site will give The Arc of the Piedmont the opportunity to expand and improve our services that provide critical support to those with developmental and intellectual disabilities. We are looking forward to the next 50 years!”

The renovation project at The Arc’s new home at 1149 Rose Hill Drive broke ground on October 30, 2017 and expected completion is March 2018, which will be celebrated with a community ribbon-cutting.

SPRING CREEK: Close-in, Gated and Loaded With Amenities

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

ouisa County’s gated community, Spring Creek at Zion Crossroads, is a popular neighborhood that draws enthusiastic buyers from all around the Charlottesville area as well as Northern Virginia and DC, the Northeast and even Florida.

Golf is a big highlight and Spring Creek residents and their guests can play at a course that regularly receives awards for being one of the best both nationally and in Virginia. They can also browse for what they need at the pro-shop, and enjoy lunch or dinner at Tavern on the Green, a full service restaurant with a great view.

and growing families who need more space. All of them can enjoy Spring Creek’s relaxed lifestyle, convenience, affordability and 24-hour security, but it is when they move in that they learn it is also a place where they can easily meet new people, make friends and enjoy a genuine sense of community.

Spring Creek Lifestyle Spring Creek is conveniently located a short distance from Interstate 64 and is just 20 minutes from Charlottesville and 35 minutes from Short Pump. In addition, home buyers love the lower prices and the significant savings in property taxes compared to either Albemarle or Charlottesville.

The real estate market is active at Spring Creek and REALTORS® are pleased with sales of both new and resale homes. In addition, lots are available and buyers who know they want to take advantage of all that Spring Creek has to offer can reserve one today and build when they are ready.

The community has wide appeal attracting retirees, singles, avid golfers,

A relaxed lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of city life is a big part of the attraction of Spring Creek, which has walking trails, an award-winning golf course, a pool, tennis courts and much more.

“I spend a lot of time walking through the neighborhood, and I love its natural beauty, the hills and old trees. I also love the beauty and lushness of the golf course,” said one Spring Creek resident.

If you value solitude and a quiet life, but also want to participate in community activities, you’ll find both at Spring Creek. “We love how friendly the community is. And if you want to get involved, there are ample avenues available. But quiet time is always nearby, especially to enjoy the wide variety

ing it to be a great place to take clients to lunch. Maggie Gunnels, with the Lake Monticello office of Long and Foster Real Estate, enjoys taking buyers there because “the nice atmosphere” helps people appreciate the Spring Creek quality of life and encourages them to feel comfortable about moving into the community.

One Spring Creek resident called it “an incredible restaurant and tavern that has acquired somewhat of a ‘Cheers’ atmosphere (where everyone knows your name).”

of birds,” another home owner said.

If you work in Charlottesville, or even Richmond, Spring Creek is a great close-in choice where you can enjoy both the conveniences of city life and the advantages of country living.

“I work in Charlottesville but quickly realized I did not want to live there.

Spring Creek is perfect as we are between Charlottesville and Richmond (great for shopping), and also have some conveniences right outside our gates (Walmart, Sheets, Lowes). Still we feel we are out of the hustle and bustle of ‘the City,’ and honestly feel we have the best of both worlds—Country life but with the conveniences.”

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Genuine Community Charlene Easter, with Spring Creek Realty has lived in Spring Creek for years and says the sense of community that people experience there is what makes them happy they moved in. “It truly feels like a community in the best sense,” she said, adding that buyers appreciate being able to afford a home in a community that is welcoming and friendly and where they can “jump into neighborhood events.”

“Spring Creek appealed to us because it was in a golf course community and I thought it would be a good way to meet people in an area where I knew no one. Turns out, because it is a new community, there are numerous others looking to make connections and we have not lacked for activities or people to enjoy them with,” explained one of Easter’s neighbors.

And another one added: “Spring Creek truly has a sense of community!

Neighbors looking out for neighbors, everyone wanting to help with whatever it is they are good at, and just really trying every day to better our community with activities like neighborhood clean up events that most participate in and community meetings where people actually listen and speak up.”

One amenity Spring Creek residents particularly appreciate is the clubhouse that plays a big role in promoting the community feel. It features Tavern on the Green, a full service restaurant and bar with WIFI that overlooks the lake and the 18th green. Diners should be sure to ask their server about special dietary preferences such as vegetarian,

vegan, gluten-free, or kosher as special accommodations are available.

Special events are popular at the Tavern such as Party on the Patio— Friday nights from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. during summer months—that features live music. The Tavern is also a yearround gathering place with happy hour every Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. However, it is much more than that.

The clubhouse is also a place for community activities like a fishing day for kids, and 4th of July fireworks, says Club General Manager Corky Bishop, who believes that an important part of his job is promoting community by getting residents involved in events.

Business people like the Tavern find-

A big reason people choose Spring Creek is its nationally recognized golf course, which has received numerous accolades over the years. Most recently, Golf Digest named it #55 in the country under the category of America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses for 2015-2016.

And Golf Week called it the Top-Ranked Residential Public Golf Course in Virginia in 2016.

The course adds value in another way. Bishop estimates a golf course lot is worth twice that of a similar lot elsewhere in the community.

Still another popular Spring Creek activity is pickleball played on a tennis court but with a whiffle ball and ping pong paddles making play closer to the net than when playing tennis. Former tennis players, many of whom “take it very seriously,” are especially enamored of this game but it also appeals to many others who are more relaxed and just have fun, Easter said.

Spring Creek’s Real Estate Market “The market in Spring creek is heating up after a slow summer,” said David Boisvert, Sales Manager for Atlantic Builders, one of Spring Creek’s featured builders. He is excited to say that: “In the 15 months Atlantic Builders has been building there, we have written 33 new contracts, and our villa homes have sold out.

“We anticipate 2018 will be an even better year with more buyers moving to the area as they get priced out of Crozet and Charlottesville. Atlantic Builders will also be introducing new town homes in 2018 with a goal of attracting first time home buyers,” Boisvert said.

“Spring Creek is having a wonderful year with new home sales up almost 10 percent over last year. At the same time, resales are selling more quickly with DOM (Days On the Market) down from 141 to 121 meaning they are selling faster,” said Dan Girouard, Broker with Spring Creek Realty.

Evidence of quicker sales in Spring Creek’s resale market is definitely good news.

Easter explained that “the challenge in selling resale homes is that they are competing with new construction. If a buyer can purchase a new, comparable home at the same price as a resale they most often will go with a new home.” Of course, as with all real estate, “if you price it right, it will move.”

A big plus for people who want to build a home in Spring Creek, but who are not yet ready to move, is that they can purchase a lot today and hold it until they are ready to build thus locking in prices at a time when an active real estate market is sure to start pushing them higher soon. Buyers can choose from the subdivision’s featured builders, or they can bring their own.

“We have people intending to move here but are not ready yet,” Easter said. “This is an opportunity for them to select a lot matching their specifications and purchase it at today’s price.

We also offer an opportunity for buyers to ‘reserve’ a lot for 30-45 days. This allows them time to interview builders and see if the house they select will fit on their chosen site. At the end of that period they can either move forward with a purchase or release the lot without penalty. It’s a great way for buyers

to carefully choose their builder, house plans, and lot.”

Spring Creek Buyers The many amenities and housing styles available at Spring Creek appeal to a wide range of individuals and families from move-up buyers to downsizers and even an occasional first timer.

Amenities like the playground and basketball courts may be especially attractive to families, while everyone can take advantage of golf, tennis, walking trails and the pool. Girouard explained that young families make up about 40

percent of Spring Creek buyers, most of whom commute into either Richmond or Charlottesville for work.

Retirees and pre-retirees are “finding the Charlottesville area to be a wonderful place to retire, and much less expensive! This segment of the market is looking to ‘down-size’ and build a home with ‘one-level living’ features, which are offered by each of our featured builders,” Girouard said.

He is looking forward to something new at Spring Creek: “Stanley Martin’s new ‘villa’ home section with individual garden plots for those who have a

green thumb along with a community fire pit to sit around and enjoy the company of neighbors.”

Another real benefit of Spring Creek for many residents is the cross section of home owners representing different ages and life stages that live there.

This is an experience that would not be available, for example, to retirees who move into a 55+ community.

One resident explained: “What an incredible community of individuals coming together to create an energetic, joyful environment. The combination of young families raising children and retired folks together volunteering to create a friendly and welcoming neighborhood is very special. In addition, children playing at the park and playground, laughter at the bus stops, planned family events to celebrate holidays, all provide the community with across the lifespan experiences.”

If what you want is a community that is both affordable and close-in, a place where people of all ages come together to enjoy life, talk to your agent about Spring Creek. Chances are you’ll find the perfect lot or home along with lots of activities and a host of new friends. n

ow much are you spending on energy to heat and cool your home?

How efficient is your home at energy conservation? How energy efficient are your lights, and your computers and other electronics? Winter is on its way—if you can’t answer these questions, it’s time to assess your home’s readiness for cold weather by conducting a home energy audit.

Does an audit sound difficult and complicated? It needn’t be. Of course you can always hire a professional to do the work for you, but taking just a few minutes for a simple inspection can save energy, save money, and make your home more comfortable. Even recently built homes can often be made more energy efficient, thanks to rapidly evolving technology.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s voluntary energy conservation program, Energy Star, offers the following breakdown of energy usage in the average home: heating, 29 percent; cooling 17 percent; water heating 14 percent; appliances 13 percent; lighting 12 percent; computers and electronics 4 percent; other 11 percent.

Altogether, these processes and devices push the average annual energy bill up to $2,200. Finding and fixing common home deficiencies can lower bills by 5 to 30 percent annually. That means a little investigative effort and a little repair and upgrade work could save you as much as $660 a year. Get out a flashlight, a measuring stick, a dust mask, screwdriver and goggles, some candles, some work clothes, and a ladder, and you’re ready to go. Here’s a checklist of what you should look for.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Seal Your Home With heating and cooling adding up to a whopping 46 percent of estimated energy bills, the first thing to do is to make sure your home is well sealed— that means caulked, weather-stripped and insulated. One good way to detect air leaks is to light a candle or incense stick and hold it up to window and door frames, switch plates and electrical outlets, plumbing and ceiling fix-

barrier paint reducing the amount of water vapor that gets through to compromise the insulation.

Check the basement or crawlspace too. Is there insulation under the floor above? Are the water heater, hot water pipes, and furnace ducts insulated?

Heating and Cooling Equipment Heating and cooling equipment should be inspected annually by a professional. If your unit is more than 15 years old, a newer, more energy-efficient unit might be a good investment.

Look at the ductwork. If you find dirt streaks near the seams, the unit may have an air leak. Seal it with duct mastic. Ducts and pipes that pass through unheated spaces should be insulated.

If you have a heat pump, check and replace the filters as recommended by the manufacturer, usually every month or two, especially summer and winter.

Lighting

Increase Energy Efficiency and Savings With a

DIY Home Energy Audit

BY KEN WILSON

tures, range hoods, attic hatches, and bathroom ceiling fans. Also check gaps beneath the baseboard, and where the walls and ceiling meet. If the flame wavers, or the smoke is blown or sucked out of the room, you have a draft.

Cover your kitchen exhaust fan when it’s not in use. Double check, too, that fireplace flue dampers are tightly closed. Around the chimney be sure to use fire-resistant materials like sheet metal, sheetrock and furnace cement caulk. Single-pane windows are not nearly as effective at keeping out extreme outdoor temperature as storm windows. Double-pane, low-emissivity windows are even better, and will eventually pay for themselves in lower heating and cooling bills.

An un-insulated or inadequately insulated attic will leak heat as well. Has the insulation been evenly applied? Is it fallen down and in need of reapplication? Has the attic hatch been insulated and weather-stripped? Are the openings around the pipes and ductwork sealed?

Make sure the electrical boxes in the ceiling are sealed with flexible caulk from either the living room side or the attic side. Also, look for stains on the insulation, which may be signs of air leaks from duct holes or cracks in the outside wall. Does the attic insulation have a vapor barrier underneath it— tarpaper, a plastic sheet, or Kraft paper attached to fiberglass batts? If not, you can paint your ceilings with vapor

New lighting standards set by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 took effect in 2012, requiring bulbs to use roughly 25 percent less energy than the old incandescents. In fact, the new alternative bulbs—halogen incandescents, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and light-emitting diodes (LEDs)—use anywhere from 25 to 80 percent less energy, and many last longer as well.

The amount of light a bulb emits is measured in lumens—the more lumens, the brighter the bulbs. If you’re replacing a 100 watt incandescent, you want a bulb producing 1,600 lumens.

For a 75W bulb, you want 1,100 lumens. For a 60W bulb, it’s 800 lumens, and for a 40W bulb, 450 lumens. Upgrading 15 old incandescent bulbs can save about $50 per year. Installing sensors, dimmers, and timers is another effective way to save energy by reducing lighting use.

Appliances If your appliances are aging, your energy bills are probably rising. New model refrigerators, dishwashers, washers and dryers, and room air conditioners with the Energy Star label created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy not only save money, but minimize air pollution. Plug these and other appliances into power strips, and either turn the strips off when they’re not in use, or unplug the appliances, and you’ll save even more.

A professional home auditor will make a thorough assessment of your home, if that’s what you’re most comfortable with. But for fix it up chappies and do-it-yourselfers . . . the fun awaits! n
