Art Festival Fundraiser to Support Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville

Third Annual ARTCHO Scheduled for November 2 at Ix Art Park More than 50 local and international artists will be represented at the third annual ARTCHO, an art-focused, community-oriented, family-friendly art festival to be held Saturday, November 2 at Ix Art Park from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This year’s event aims to make both art and affordable housing more accessible to local families.

“The goal of ARTCHO is to make art more accessible. We exhibit high-quality artwork at prices that regular folks can afford,” says ARTCHO co-founder Eileen Butler. “It’s also a great opportunity to support local artists and a local nonprofit. This year we’re supporting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville. They believe in diverse, inclusive, and vibrant communities of neighbors that transcend socioeconomic and cultural divides, and so does ARTCHO.” In addition to art, this year’s ARTCHO at Ix Art Park will feature workshops, live music, food trucks, beer, wine and sake. Also benefiting Habitat will be a silent auction of home décor items from The Habitat Store that have been painted, decorated, or mosaiced by local artists.

Meeting the need for safe, decent, affordable places to live is a significant challenge. An estimated 12,000 families in our region either live in unsafe conditions or pay more than they can afford for housing. As a result, they are forced to make difficult choices between shelter, food, education, and healthcare.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville is addressing the lack of

affordable housing in our community through homebuilding, community revitalization, and housing sector collaborations. Habitat is also partnering with the residents of Southwood Mobile Home Park as they reimagine their neighborhood, transforming it from 340 trailers into a vibrant mixed-income, mixed-use community of affordable and market-rate homes without resident displacement. Construction is scheduled to begin at Southwood next year.

For more information, including how to participate as an artist or a musician or sponsor ARTCHO, go to ARTCHO.org.

About ARTCHO: ARTCHO is an annual festival bringing the people of Charlottesville together to enjoy art, music, and food in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. The event benefits the local arts community and a selected nonprofit partner. Last year’s ARTCHO drew 1,500 attendees and featured 44 local artists, 5 bands, and a host of food and beverage vendors.

About Habitat: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville brings people together to build and rebuild homes and communities while catalyzing new pathways to safe, decent affordable housing. Our work has evolved from building one house at a time to developing vibrant, sustainable, mixed-income communities, where hardworking local families can achieve their dreams of homeownership. Since our founding in 1991, we have built 228 new homes and preserved affordable housing for more than 2,000 neighbors, thanks to the commitment and dedication of our thousands of volunteers and supporters.

St. Anne’s-Belfield School Opens Natural Playground St. Anne’s-Belfield School has opened a natural playground on the Belfield Campus, complete with a mud kitchen, tree cookies, balance logs, a sandbox, a gathering space, and more.

“Nature learning spaces are really great for kids,” said Grades K – 4 science teacher Kayla Wilson. “They’re not like traditional playgrounds where things are brightly colored and there are limited uses to each item. Take a slide for example, you can go up the slide or down the slide. Nowadays playgrounds are so safe that kids don’t

really have a chance to challenge themselves, or grow their self-regulation skills and build self-confidence. But they still want to challenge themselves, so they begin using playgrounds in unsafe ways.”

In contrast, a natural playground affords children opportunities to challenge themselves with almost every available item. Stumps, for example, can be climbed, or kids can hop between them pretending they are lily pads, or imagine that they are stranded on rocks under a waterfall, or even pretend that they are tables for a family dinner.

“Studies have shown that nature spaces allow kids to be more creative, that there is less bullying, and kids are less sedentary when they have access to a nature playground,” said Wilson. “They also engage many more of their senses, which makes it a richer play environment.”

For Wilson, the nature playground has already featured in her outdoor science curriculum with students in Grades K, 1, and 3 having science lessons in the space. In the Pre-School, students have begun to request nature playground time on a daily basis.

“Being outside in nature has so many benefits for young children,” said Director of Pre-School Programs Kathy Carpenter. “Our children are often inside, playing with close-ended toys that an adult has designed with little opportunities for creative input from a child. Their hands are not getting the ‘work outs’ they used to from digging and making a mud pie, for example, and their brains are not getting the input that nature provides. In turn then, if you analyze gross and fine motor skills, they have been significantly falling in young children in direct correlation to the lack of outdoor play.

This has a long-term impact on growth and development.

“So, what does a natural playground do for young children? Digging and building provide numerous fine motor opportunities which our children so clearly lack. They gain sensory input from the smells and the feel of the soil and pebbles in their hands. This sensory feedback, in turn, provides a soothing and calming effect on children, allowing them to return to traditional classrooms with more focused attention.”

Carpenter also mentioned the importance of imaginative play for young children, including the storytelling aspect of such play and bringing their own life experiences into the stories.

“Through this play, their social emotional growth expands,” said Carpenter. “They collaborate and communicate with others, work out strategies and conflicts together, and learn flexible thinking. The impact of creative play and exploration creates a motivation to learn. And when learning is self-directed, the impact is great. Children learn resiliency and take risks.

They consider how to make new creations, ponder new strategies if something is not working, retest, and make new discoveries.

“Besides all of these skills being formed, one of the happiest consequences of Pre-Schoolers in nature is they develop empathy for our world.

They care about that little bug crawling that they are investigating. They become genuine stewards for our world around us. The small, joyful world of the playground becomes integrated with an understanding of the larger world around us.”

St. Anne’s-Belfield School is a co-educational Pre-School – Grade 12 day school of nearly 900 students, with an international boarding program in Grades 9 - 12. It holds as its core purpose to inspire and prepare the next generation of exemplary citizens and visionary leaders, and recognizes six core values: integrity, curiosity, diversity, creativity, agency, and impact.

Fourteen countries are represented in the student body, with 41 percent of students receiving financial aid. More information may be found at www. stab.org.

With all that Lake Monticello has to offer, it is no mystery why so many people have chosen it for their home.

While there are varying accounts as to how the Lake Monticello community originally came to be (there is an ongoing effort to fill-in-the-blanks with respect to its history) the Lake Monticello Owners Association website provides some insight as to its inception.

The idea for the community was first conceived in the late 1950’s by four local businessmen—Robert Har-

The initial plan was to build a recreational community with a 2.5-milelong lake, replete with 16 miles of shoreline.

By raising the shoreline a few hundred feet above sea level, they envisioned creating panoramic views of the expansive lake, as well as the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains beyond.

By raising the shoreline a few hundred feet above sea level, they envisioned creating panoramic views of the expansive lake, as well as the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. Harmon, Lewis, Huffman and Turner began purchasing parcels of land from various area landowners in an effort to bring their idea to fruition.

Plans for the community changed significantly after the death of Harmon in 1967. The parcels of land that were acquired by that time were sold to the Great Eastern Development Corporation. Thereafter, Great Eastern developed the land, arranged the lots, outlined the lake and designed the golf course.

Lake Monticello was finally completed by Harry Faulconer—originally a partner at Great Eastern—whose independent construction firm bought out the remaining partners. Initially conceived as a recreational and summer

vacation community, Lake Monticello gradually evolved into a suburb of Charlottesville, with a significant number of residents commuting to the city for work.

Present Day Lake Monticello Today, the bustling community boasts over 4,200 homes—situated along 60-miles of lovely, winding country roads—with between 85 and 90 percent of owners residing there yearround.

“The wonderful thing about living in Lake Monticello is the fact that it is a very diverse community with young professionals, families, and active retirees living here,” says Patsy Strong, Principal Broker at Strong Team, REALTORS®. “I’ve lived here since 1996, and have worked as a REALTOR® here since 2001. This community is unique in the fact that there is a home here for everyone. From homes priced from $150,000 to over one million dollars; our community has something for every age and economic background.”

Spectacular Amenities Lake Monticello offers a host of amenities; a big draw for prospective home buyers. When shopping for her own home, Strong found the profusion of amenities and activities available at Lake Monticello a key selling point. “I

moved here for all of the amenities,” she explains. “We were new to the area, and I wanted a community that would offer activities for me and my children, plus a friendly environment.”

Those who are athletically inclined are sure to enjoy the abundance of opportunities the community offers

for exercise. There is a swimming pool complex (replete with its own competitive swim team), a paved walking track, ballpark, playgrounds, softball/soccer fields, as well as tennis, pickleball, basketball, and bocce ball courts.

The Pub—as its name suggests—serves standard pub fare in a casual atmosphere, and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. The Lakeside Restaurant is open on Friday and Saturday evenings only and features a varied menu, as well as stunning lake views. It is available for weddings and other private events.

Perhaps the most enjoyable community amenity is picturesque Lake Monticello itself. Originally formed by a dam on a short tributary of the nearby Rivanna River, rains from devastating Hurricane Camille in 1969 helped to fill it.

Today, the 352-mile lake is fed by over 200 freshwater natural springs, and runs 2.5 rambling miles from endto-end. There are five pristine sandy beaches, each with its own fishing dock and roped swimming area, as well as barbeque and picnic facilities. Strong particularly enjoys sitting along the lake “…with a good book, watching the boats go by.” There is also a full-service marina, with boat launch, slip rentals, and several docks. Put simply, Lake Monticello is paradise to those who love the summer months.

The community also has its own 35-acre stocked fishing lake—Tufton Pond—on premises. The pond is limited to non-motorized boats, creat-

ing an atmosphere of quiet serenity.

Swimming is not permitted, and a fishing license is required. Several fish are limited to catch and release; including sunfish, as well as largemouth bass that are 15” or more in length. The pond is ideal for kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding, and it too has its own barbeque and picnic area.

Proximity to Popular Area Attractions It is clear that Lake Monticello offers homeowners an abundance of things to do onsite, but it is also ideally located in proximity to a multitude of spectacular attractions. Monticello— the famed residence of Thomas Jefferson, and Highland—the home of James Madison—are 10 miles away.

The 42.1-mile long Rivanna River is less than a mile away, and is ideal for swimming, fishing and floating. It is also the starting point of the greenbelt Rivanna Trail, which takes hikers a total of 20-miles around the circumference of Charlottesville.

In the winter, residents can enjoy skiing at Wintergreen Resort, located in Nelson County, a mere 55 miles away. Nelson County also has several popular wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries that offer tours and tastings. The historic area of Colonial Williamsburg is within a 2-hour drive.

Finally, Richmond—the capital of the Commonwealth—is 50-plus miles from Lake Monticello, offering access to cultural institutions like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, as well as a host of restaurants and excellent shopping.

A Sense of Community When you speak to residents of Lake Monticello about why they like living there, one response is constant—its sense of community.

Diana Calvo recently moved from Charlottesville to Lake Monticello with her husband and daughter. Having

lived in the heart of Boston for a significant part of her life, the transition to Virginia took some getting used to— the move from Charlottesville to Lake Monticello even more so.

“I was not at all comfortable with the prospect of living in the woods, as well as with the wildlife that naturally comes along with it,” says Calvo. Fast forward one year, and she is so pleased with their decision to buy a home in Lake Monticello. “My husband gets to live in the woodsy, country setting he’s always wanted, and I’ve found a wonderful sense of community here.”

“Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.”

Strong echoes that sentiment when she explains, “The thing I like most about living here is the fact that when you pass your neighbor on a bike, in a car, or out for an evening walk, everyone waves ‘hello!’ It’s what I would imagine growing up in a small town feels like.”

Lake Monticello’s Clubhouse plays an integral role in fostering this sense of community. In addition to housing the Lakeside Restaurant, the Clubhouse is used for a host of events, as well as meetings. There are quite a few social clubs that utilize the facility, including those for people who enjoy scrapbooking, quilting, gardening, singing, theatre, cooking and reading—to name just a few.

Regarded as one of the top markets in Virginia for lake homes and homesite lots (community lots range from one-quarter to one acre), Lake Monticello boasts an active real estate market, with homes available at various price points, that cater to all types of prospective buyers. It is located in the Fluvanna County School District.

According to Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker/Owner at Monticello Country REALTORS®, homes priced under $200,000 tend to attract first-time home buyers, along with those who are looking to downsize. She finds that the latter prefer one level homes with garages. Not surprisingly, there is a robust market for waterfront and golffront homes at Lake Monticello.

Thus far this year, there have been 226 homes sold there at a median price of $223,500—up from $213,250 in 2018—with the average days-on-themarket currently sitting at 52 (trending down compared to last year).

Community Events and Activities Lake Monticello boasts a host of recreational, cultural and social activities and events throughout the calendar year. There is something for everyone; car shows, arts and craft shows, swim meets, golf tournaments, competitive tennis matches, and gardening seminars, to name just a few. Seasonal and holiday events abound and include Easter egg hunts, the annual 4th of July picnic and fireworks over the lake, three boat parades, and Oktoberfest.

Not surprisingly, community Christmas events are a particular favorite among adults and children alike. The annual Christmas parade even features Santa himself.

Street festivals are common in Lake Monticello, and there are several that occur throughout the year. This September, the community hosted a very special street festival—a celebration in honor of its 50th anniversary. The event featured children’s activities, live bands, and a selection of vendors selling their wares. Strong explains, “One thing I can say about living in Lake Monticello is the fact that there is no excuse to ever be bored here. There is just so much to do!”

Neighborly and affordable, Lake Monticello is the ideal place to settle for those who yearn to live in a quiet country setting, while still in proximity to the conveniences, cultural opportunities and activities that cities like Charlottesville provide.

Close-knit, diverse, welcoming and naturally beautiful, the community is a must-see for those looking to purchase a home in central Virginia. n Kristin is a writer currently employed at a vacation rental management company.

Diversity is working.

Shouldn’t it also be living?

COMMUNITY

AFFORDABLE FLUVANNA Offers Rural Charm and Activities Aplenty

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

F

luvanna County appeals to people from first-time homebuyers to retirees.

Many folks choose it because of its affordability with housing options under $200,000.

The educational system, including a state-of-the-art high school, is a big plus and another important factor is that it’s a reasonable commute to both Charlottesville and Richmond.

Many people “discover” Fluvanna because they already know someone who’s a resident. For example, when Fluvanna County Administrator Eric Dahl, his wife Jill, and their sons moved north from Florida, they bought a home in the county where his two brothers already lived.

“Jill and I really like the rural environment and change of seasons rather than the overcrowding and heat of Tampa,” he says. He particularly cites the outdoor opportunities at Pleasant Grove Park. “We like hiking and biking, both locally and in the mountains and also water activities like kayaking on the Rivanna and James River.”

They also appreciate the nearness to Charlottesville where Jill is program administrator at Lugo-McGinness Academy, a Charlottesville School District trauma-informed educational setting.

Yesterday and Today Fluvanna dates back to 1777, when it separated from then Albemarle County and was named for the Fluvanna River in honor of Queen Anne of England. Various settlements grew over the years.

Take, for example, today’s Kents Store community.

“It was named for James Madison Kent who established a store there in 1845,” explains former Scottsville mayor Chris Long of Long & Foster’s Old Ivy Office. “His son George established a U.S. Post Office there in 1875.”

The store bought and sold crops, livestock, furs, and other products from local farmers until it was sold in 1900. The Kent family operated a drug store in the area until the 1950s.

The county celebrates its history with nearly 20 National Historic Landmarks from the Courthouse in Palmyra to the slate-roofed Seay’s Chapel Methodist Church built at the turn of the last century.

The 1854 Pleasant Grove House, another National Historic Landmark, was once part of a plantation growing tobacco and produce that were shipped to Richmond on the Rivanna. Now the centerpiece of Pleasant Grove Park, it houses the County Museum and Wel-

come Center which is open for tours of exhibit galleries on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from noon to 4 p.m. on weekends. Admission is free.

The park itself is a triangle of land adjacent to Fluvanna High School and roughly bounded by Route 53 and the Rivanna. About 25 years ago, the county purchased nearly 1,000 acres of farm land and eventually the Fluvanna Heritage Trail Foundation was formed.

Today the Foundation works with the Parks and Recreation Department and they have created 22 miles of trails starring river habitat, wildflowers, grassy fields, and woodlands.

For instance, walkers on the Tree Identification Trail can learn the names of many native trees. The Sandy Beach Trail is an ADA-accessible gravel trail leading to the Rivanna River. “A Natural Experience” is a guide to various park trails and is downloadable from the county website.

The dog park is also popular, says County Administrator Dahl. “There are three different gated areas,” he explains, “so owners can choose for their dog to be with larger or smaller dogs.”

Waste disposal bags are provided. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and must be leashed except in the specific dog exercise areas. The dog park is also

A number of sports leagues serve Fluvanna youth including softball, baseball, basketball, soccer and aquatic teams. The Carysbrook Sports Complex on Route 15 between Palmyra and Fork Union hosts a variety of recreational venues. There’s a playground plus softball, soccer, and baseball fields. An indoor gym hosts basketball, pickleball and volleyball.

When not scheduled for league use, both indoor and outdoor facilities are open to the public. The hours vary by season.

Seniors Fluvanna boasts a large senior community with lots of support and many folks find this a great place to retire.

The county’s Senior Programs list activities—many free—for those 55 and better including charitable projects, exercise programs, guest speakers and community forums. One example is JABA (Jefferson Area Board on Aging) which operates once-weekly programs including lunch and doings at several locations in the county.

In addition, JAUNT serves Fluvanna with a circulator route within the county and a commuter route with stops between Fork Union, Charlottesville and urban Albemarle County. Trips are discounted for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Et Cetera As the county’s population grows modestly, there are more restaurants, groceries, and other businesses people want to have handy. County wineries such as Thistle Gate and Cunningham Creek are also popular.

Finally, the county offers a handy website with information about the historical, social and recreational aspects of life there including calendars of activities. Other listings include information about the library, county services, human services, volunteer opportunities, a business directory and more. Visit FluvannaCounty.org for more info.

While Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville, they have kin in Fluvanna County.

“I had been living in a home that was not safe or healthy for me or anyone else.

I don’t know where I would be living today if it weren’t for AHIP.”
