What’s Happening Around Town?

The Haven In Partnership With New City Arts Receives 2015 Artplace America Grant $200,000 Grant Will Fund Housing2Home in Charlottesville, VA The Haven announced that it is among the 38 recipients of ArtPlace America’s 2015 National Grants Program. ArtPlace, one of the nation’s largest philanthropies dedicated to creative placemaking, is investing $200,000 in Charlottesville, VA, to further integrate arts and culture into the field of community planning and development through The Haven’s Housing2Home program. Through Housing2Home, The Haven is partnering with the New City Arts Initiative to facilitate artist-led design consultation sessions with newly housed (formerly homeless) clients to create a more positive home environment that reflects each client’s needs. ArtPlace selected The Haven from a pool of nearly 1,300 applicants. The Haven is the only 2015 grantee in the state of Virginia. “We are thrilled and honored to share this news with our community,” said Stephen Hitchcock, Executive Director of The Haven. “Housing2Home

is the result and culmination of The Haven’s ongoing partnership with New City Arts. It is such a wonderful validation of that partnership that a national philanthropic initiative like ArtPlace has selected us as one of their 2015 grantees.” “The Thomas Jefferson Area Coalition for the Homeless is very excited about Housing2Home! Moving people from homelessness to housing is the foundation of this community’s plan to end homelessness,” said TJACH Executive Director Kaki Dimock. “In our recent experience with housing programming, we have learned that housing, by itself, is not enough to solve homelessness. While referrals to community-based supportive services are an obvious need for people moving from homelessness into housing, we have discovered that people benefit from being engaged in community, being attached to their new place, and making choices about their surroundings. Housing2Home will allow The Haven to test out a model that provides additional value to local housing programs and may improve long-term housing stability for people transitioning from homelessness.” The Haven and New City Arts have been community partners since 2010. Through their joint Artist-in-Resi-

dence Program, they provided affordable working space for local artists and integrated creative programming into the resources available to Haven guests during the day. This residency built social capital in many ways: bridges were developed between the arts and the social service community, relationships developed between individuals who might not otherwise connect, and the conditions of homelessness and poverty directly and indirectly informed creative expression and thoughtful examination of the world. In addition to providing respite care through the Day Shelter, The Haven has recently implemented a Housing First approach to ending homelessness locally. In order to support this new housing-oriented approach, the two organizations are adapting their current model of artistic engagement. The exciting result of this adaptation is a collaborative, client-responsive program called Housing2Home. Housing2Home integrates artists into the housing stabilization process through creative interventions around place-making. “New City Arts has found that intersection point where arts, social impact, and a reclamation of humanity can come together to truly make a difference in the lives of some of our least understood population,” said Gram Slaton, Piedmont Council for the Arts (PCA) Executive Director. “Truthfully, it brings art all the way back to its most ancient roots - as an expression of a people, a society, and a compassion for the world around us. Bravo, New City.” As a part of the Housing2Home program, The Haven is excited to an-

nounce a call for applications for the full-time Creative Coordinator position. The Creative Coordinator will work with newly housed Haven clients to imagine, design, and furnish their new homes. A full job description and application deadline can be found online at http://www.thence.org. “Investing in and supporting the arts have a profound impact on the social, physical, and economic futures of communities,” said ArtPlace Executive Director Jamie L. Bennett. “Projects like these demonstrate how imaginative and committed people are when it comes to enhancing their communities with creative interventions and thoughtful practices.” “Housing2Home is a really exciting project. The Haven and New City Arts Initiative have partnered together to offer a unique and creative intervention for some of our community’s most vulnerable residents,” said Charlottesville’s Director of Human Services and Acting Assistant City Manager, Mike C. Murphy. “The City of Charlottesville is fortunate to have an innovative partner like The Haven bringing resources to our community in an effort to make homelessness brief, rare and non-recurring in our area.” “The National Grants Program is actively building a portfolio that touches each of the sectors and stakeholders that make up the community development field,” said ArtPlace’s Director of National Grantmaking F. Javier Torres. “Last year, ArtPlace developed a Community Development Matrix to help us better evaluate our success on this front. So, we’re thrilled that this year’s 38 grantees represent a dynamic spectrum of creative approaches and partnerships in community development that expand the dimensions of our portfolio.” This year’s ArtPlace America grantees were selected from nearly 1,300 applicants across 48 states and the District of Columbia. Grants range from $50,000 to $500,000 with an average of $265,000. “Each one of these grants supports a geographic community: a collection of people who live, work, and play within a defined circle on a map,” continued Torres. “In each case, a community development challenge or opportunity was identified by local stakeholders; and these 38 grantees are serving as conduits for their community’s desires by leading arts-based solutions through their projects.” To view the complete list of 2015 ArtPlace grantees, go to www.artplaceamerica.org.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Blue Ridge Expands Program to Serve More Youth

Having met their goal of serving just over 200 children in 2014, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Central Blue Ridge (BBBS) has expanded their mentoring program to make room for a new goal of serving 300 children this year. Results have shown that one-to-one mentoring is making a big difference to local children living in our community -- and as that need for mentoring continues to grow, BBBS has hired additional staff members and for the first time in several years, youth enrollment is open and applications are ready to be reviewed and processed for children between the ages of six and 16 to help meet the increased demand to be in the program. Along with this program expansion also comes the need for additional mentors. With just one to two hours a week and two mentoring programs to chose from, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes it easy to spend time with a child, or Little. As Dave Koehn, Voice of the Virginia Cavaliers and Big Brother of five years says, “It’s not exactly heavy lifting . . . we’re walking the dog, we’re playing video games, we’re throwing the football in the park.” Littles enjoy the activities that their Big is already doing; it’s really about the companionship and the opportunity to share a conversation and ask questions.

Virginia Foundation for the Humanities (VFH) is delighted to present Brulé, the nationally known, award-winning Native American rock/cultural music group, for its only announced public appearance on the east coast during its 2015-2016 national tour. Brulé will conduct a Workshop Stage talk and performance on Friday, September 11, at 7:00 p.m. at Tandem Friends School in Charlottesville and a full performance on Saturday, September 12, at 8:00 p.m. at The Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville. The Workshop Stage event at Tandem will be free of charge, and tickets to The Paramount performance will be $12 in advance, $15 at the door, available at The Paramount box office starting this week. Both events are open to the public. Hailing from South Dakota, Brulé thrills audiences with a fusion of cultural rock, traditional sound, and theatrical dance. Now in their 15th season, their performances carry the same contagious excitement as Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Celtic Thunder, and Riverdance. Brulé’s electrifying show includes a five-piece rock ensemble with traditional Native American instrumentation, paired with one of the top U.S. Native American dance troupes. The musical journey of Brulé’s founder, Paul LaRoche, adds an important message about cultural reconciliation and healing. The result is Native America meets Pink Floyd in a spectacular stage production of sight, sound, and soul. “This is one of those transformative experiences demonstrating that Native people are still here, a vibrant part of the American present as well as the past, with insights to share about our connections to others, to the land, and to other living things around us,” said Karenne Wood (Monacan), director of Virginia Indian Programs at VFH. “We’re hoping people will take away a new appreciation of the power of music to cross cultures and bring healing to our world.”

To learn more about the Virginia Indian Program, visit virginiaindianprogram.org. About VFH: The mission of Virginia Foundation for the Humanities is to connect people and ideas to explore the human experience and inspire cultural engagement. VFH reaches an estimated annual audience of 23 million through Community Programs, Digital Initiatives, Scholarship, and the Virginia Center for the Book.

S COTTSVILLE T Historic

he town of Scottsville, home of Albemarleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first county seat, is located at the intersection of Routes 20 and 6 straddling the three counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, and Buckingham. Though set in the midst of a rich agricultural area, it is part of the Charlottesville SMSA and offers an easy commute to jobs there. It has a rich past reflected in its downtown where 153 commercial, residential and religious buildings are nationally recognized as having historic significance. In the 1700s, when the most efficient way to move goods west to east was by boat, Scottsville was an important commercial center thanks to its location on the James River. The James River and Kanawha Canal, connecting Richmond to Lynchburg, ran alongside the river adding to Scottsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominence during this time. The town also served as a drop off point for agricultural goods moving on a toll road from Staunton to Richmond. As a result, Scottsville was the largest grain market in the state and home to many wealthy people.

er, causing many business owners to give up and leave their boarded up buildings behind. Fortunately in the 1980s, the town acquired federal money for a levee. The resulting flood protection made it possible for businesses to be viable in downtown and contributed to a renaissance in the area. Now, not only is there a growing list of new businesses, but the downtown area enjoyed a facelift thanks to a streetscape project completed in 2013 that spruced it up making it much more inviting. Today Scottsville is valued for its growing list of amenities, its proximity to Charlottesville, and its quiet country lifestyle that nevertheless offers much in the way of outdoor activities, restaurants, historic preservation and community based activities like the recent July 4th fireworks. In addition, the real estate market continues to improve, offering a range of options for first time buyers as well as for those looking for a historic home, a farm or estate overlooking the river or just a piece of land.

In 1761 Scottville lost its status as county seat, which moved to Charlottesville. The old courthouse, no longer needed as a municipal building, was converted to an ammunition storehouse during the Revolutionary

War. By the late 1800s when river traffic gave way to rail, Scottsville also lost its importance as a commercial center. In more recent times, the downtown area suffered from frequent flooding due to its proximity to the James Riv-

He described Scottsville as a “great little town, friendly and welcoming,” where it is easy to get to know people and very different from what he called “the hustle and bustle of Charlottesville.” Larry Barnett is another prominent local agent who recently decided to shut down his Scottsville company, Barnett Real Estate, and join the Old Ivy office of Long and Foster.

John Ince, with Nest Realty, described Scottsville as a “very real slice of Americana right in our own back yard.” For those who choose to live there, it is “a unique opportunity to forge an intimate relationship with one of Virginia’s classic small towns. Scottsville is not gentrified or fancy. It’s grounded with agriculture and the rich history of a thriving 18th century river port.” In many ways it is the best of two worlds offering, “home town character with cosmopolitan Charlottesville just 25 miles north.”

He described the town as a place with a “wonderful mix of people from all walks of life.” Although he initially had reservations about moving to a small town (his wife was originally from New York City) neither of them has had any regrets. Today, at age 78, Barnett is still an active agent and property owner. He was especially excited about a new business that recently opened in the space that was his former real estate office.

In addition to being friendly, Scottsville residents recently showed they could be very generous. In October of 2014 the James River club, a chapter of the Boys and Girls club of Central Virginia, opened its doors. It offers after school and summer activities for local children, many of who are low income with few other alternatives for structured activities when school is out. The project required significant local fundraising to obtain the $1.5 million required to open the doors as well as an

Barnett described Scottsville’s market as “mixed.” Starter homes and others under $150,000 are selling quickly he said, adding that the market has “not come back like Charlottesville’s.” He currently has two homes listed in town, both built in the early 1900s, one at just under $310,000 the other at $249,900.

agreement from Albemarle County to lease an old school house for $1 a year. Barnett, who volunteers there as a tutor, recently rented one of his apartments to a family with two children who expressed appreciation for the Boys and Girls club. He explained that not only is it a safe place for their children to go after school and during the summer, but the $30 per child annual fee makes it very affordable. Although Charlottesville, with its many cultural activities, is nearby, Scottsville is in many respects self contained. Residents will find most of what they need there including a major grocery store, medical care, restaurants, and recreational activities.

Scottsville’s Real Estate Market Coming Back to Life When it comes to real estate, people have many options in Scottsville. Buyers will find a wide range of prices, everything from starter homes under $150,000 to million dollar plus properties depending on the size and location of the home and the number of acres that accompany it. This means Scottsville is a place where first time buyers as well as those looking for farm and estate properties can find just what they need. Scottsville is the “southern anchor of Albemarle County,” Ince said. Those “looking for a farm or estate will find some of the finest period homes and richest land in Virginia’s Piedmont there. It’s also a great place to find an affordable home in town or on a couple of acres.” He went on describe the allure of local river properties. “Fine homes overlooking the river sell well,” he said.

Another big advantage of Scottsville is that buyers can choose from three different counties each with its own school system and a lifestyle that is a little different from the others. Albemarle is closer to Charlottesville and has more jobs, but Buckingham offers better prices on homes along with lower taxes. Prices are higher in Fluvanna, which may mean smaller lot sizes that nevertheless appeal to people who like living close to their neighbors. Buyers can also find good values in town including historic properties. For example, in town properties for sale now include some “fabulous period homes for under $500,000,” Ince

said. There are also deals in more rural settings where, “there are some really wonderful opportunities for under $200,000,” he continued.

Who’s Moving to Scottsville? Scottsville is attractive to young families who want space and a back yard big enough for a garden or to those who appreciate historic properties and love good prices. Peter Lee, with Roy Wheeler Realty, said the area attracts young professionals who like the feel of the town and the older buildings. “It is especially appealing to people who don’t have to commute such as people who have a home based business or who are retired,” he added. One of Barnett’s recent buyers is a couple from Norfolk who just retired and wished to downsize from a huge house on the bay and to be closer to their daughter in Richmond. They chose Scottsville for its small town flavor. Ward described buyers who relocated to Scottsville from the northeast. Also retirees, they wanted to live in a rural community where they could have some acreage and enjoy life away from the big city.

Choosing Siding for your Home

Charlottesville and Central Virginia’s Number One Real Estate Publication

Stucco Another siding, less common in Central Virginia, is stucco created from Portland cement, sand, and lime. It is generally mounted over metal screening with a waterproof membrane, and when applied well it can last for many years. It is sometimes used in combination with brick or stone finishes,

ularly durable. Wood can be painted, stained or left natural and requires maintenance and refinishing from time to time. On the other hand, when well maintained, wood siding can last for a hundred years or more. Shakes and shingles—which are often treated with fire-retardants—can be milled in various shapes and offer particular interest in a gable or other architectural feature.

Bricking

Vinyl, with its low cost and easy upkeep, is the most popular siding in the country and technology has changed for the better just in the past five years. Deeper “graining” makes it look more like wood from a distance and it comes in a variety of colors and styles including lap siding, board and batten, shingles, and simulations of brick or stone. While vinyl doesn’t warp and is completely unappetizing to insects, it can

crack, dent, or even melt. Plastic siding usually comes in wood-mimicking shingles or shakes and demands little upkeep. It’s generally thicker than vinyl and is more resistant to impact damage. It’s also considerably more expensive than vinyl.

Fiber-Cement Siding Fiber-cement siding is a mix of cement, cellulose, and sand. Fire-resis-

tant and low-maintenance, it is of zero interest to termites. It can mimic masonry or stucco and presents a surface very closely resembling real wood, yet costs about the same as vinyl. It often comes pre-painted from the factory and although a bit more expensive than painting it yourself, the color will last much longer. Fiber-cement comes in lap siding, shingles, and vertical styles.

Wood The most classic of sidings, wood offers traditional charm, but it can be pricey. Clapboard is generally less expensive than shingles, but still costs more than vinyl or fiber-cement. Wood resists impact, so it will not dent like vinyl or chip like fiber-cement, but it can warp and burn. It’s also subject to rot and can be attacked by insects as well as some birds like woodpeckers. There are several choices of wood with cedar and redwood being partic-

Stone Stone is durable and handsome, but is generally the most expensive siding choice because of both the material and the labor cost of installation. Still, stone’s texture and drama are impressive. A less expensive option is a stone-veneer siding of either natural stone or one of the modern synthetics including vinyl.

Once You’ve Chosen your Material First, if you live in a development with architectural requirements, be sure your homeowner’s association approves your siding. Next, obtain bids from several installers. Check with the Better Business Bureau and, if possible, previous clients. Don’t install new siding over old unless the existing siding is absolutely sound. In addition, new siding should attach to the house’s framing, not just the previous siding. Ask about waterproofing materials, caulking, and the possibility of adding extra insulation. n Marilyn Pribus lives with her husband in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. They are happy with their fiber-cement siding, although they duel with carpenter bees on the wooden soffits every spring.

Choosing

HOUSE & HOME

F SIDING ew things make a bigger impact on your home’s appearance—whether new construction or remodeling—than the siding you choose. Not only can the right siding make your place look great, it protects from damage from wind, weather, humidity, and insects. Unlike the Three Little Pigs, few people in Central Virginia make their homes of straw or sticks, which can be blown down by an itinerant Big Bad Wolf or the occasional derecho. Bricks, on the other hand, have been a popular siding since Thomas Jefferson’s time. And today, there are many additional options for house siding that Jefferson never heard of, each with its charms and caveats. For example, vinyl and other synthetics are becoming more attractive, often mimicking wood in a realistic way, yet costing far less. Here’s a primer on the most popular sidings with their pros and cons from the least to the more expensive.

Bricks have been used for hundreds of years and come in different shapes, sizes, and textures. Bricks are sturdy, durable, and classically handsome and particularly popular in this region. These days, brick siding is commonly a veneer mounted on the frame of a building with a waterproof membrane between the bricks and framing. Contrasting brick patterns and colors can punctuate the appearance and tinted mortar can provide extra interest. Brick, partly because of the expense of installation, is one of the most expensive siding choices, but it can last almost free of additional maintenance for hundreds of years. Just look at Monticello!

“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.”

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

(StatePoint) Better employment prospects, rising home values and historically low mortgage rates are driving improvements in housing markets across the country. If these facts are tempting you to take the plunge, you’re not alone. Keep in mind, buying a home is a major commitment and shouldn’t be undertaken without careful consideration, say experts. “While homeownership is often referred to as the ‘American Dream’ for good reason, it isn’t necessarily everyone’s right move,” says Freddie Mac Senior Vice President and Head of Single-Family Sales and Relationship Management, Christina Boyle. Understanding the pros and cons of homeownership can help you make a wise decision. For potential homebuyers, Boyle offers the following insights: Ownership Pros From paint colors to major remodeling projects, one of the best parts of ownership is having a place that is uniquely yours to customize. Consider the financial benefits, as well. At tax time, you may be able to deduct the interest on your mortgage and property taxes, offsetting a portion of the cost of ownership. Stability is another major draw. With fixed-rate mortgages, your monthly principal and interest payments will stay the same for the entire period of the loan. This will make it easier to plan and budget over time, as opposed to renting, where rates are largely beyond your control. Furthermore, creating equity for the future will help provide stability and security for your family. Ownership Cons Being your own landlord makes you responsible for the maintenance and

upkeep of your property. Budget for maintenance costs -- from little fixes to such major, costly issues as roof replacement and water pipe repair. Other home-related costs to keep in mind include utilities, homeowner association dues, homeowner insurance premiums and property taxes. Just like with your rent, your mortgage and utilities should be paid on time. This will help you maintain good credit and is essential if you want to borrow again in the future for home renovations, new cars or student loans. Self-Assessment An honest self-assessment can help you determine if buying a home is right for you. Do you have a reliable income, good credit and documentation to verify your savings? Do you have the money required for home maintenance and a cash reserve that can withstand a loss of job, illness or other financial setback? Freddie Mac recommends that potential buyers be able to afford at least three-percent of the down payment and related closing costs. Also, evaluate your life plans. Are you planning on staying in your home for at least five years? Crunch the Numbers Free online tools can help you get down to brass tacks. For a rent vs. buy calculator, a tax savings calculator, as well as tips, videos and tutorials needed to make well informed decisions, check out “My Home,” at MyHome.FreddieMac.com, a one-stop reference designed to help people become smarter homebuyers, homeowners or renters. Before taking any major plunge, get informed. An honest appraisal of the facts and figures can ensure a sounder financial future. n
