Albemarle High School Presents The Addams Family Musical Albemarle High School (AHS) Players present Andrew Lippa’s The Addams Family Musical at Albemarle High School’s auditorium in Charlottesville, VA, May 1, 2 and 3, 2015. The Addams Family Musical, set in Manhattan, follows the hilarious night when daughter Wednesday Addams invites her (normal) boyfriend’s family over for dinner in the Addams’ home. Perfor-

mances will be at 8.00 p.m. on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2, and at 3.00 p.m. on Sunday, May 3. There will be an opening preview Thursday, April 30 at 8 p.m. and Saturday night’s performance includes an option to enjoy dinner at 6 p.m. and the show for $30 per person.

Based on The Addams Family cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams, the musical brings the family (and their ancestors) to life with singing (“When You’re an Addams”), dancing (“Tango de Amor”), and laughs (“Death Is Just Around the Corner”).

AHS seniors Aaron Hoffman, Olivia Whicheloe, Joey Wharton, Issi Marsh, Brennan Pixton, Morgan Barr, and Layne Rickabaugh will be performing in their final AHS Players production.

The Addams Family Musical opened on Broadway in April 2010, featuring Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia Addams, and subsequently starred Brooke Shields and Roger Rees as Morticia and Gomez.

The musical has toured the US and been performed around the world.

Fay E. Cunningham directs and heads the award-winning AHS Players, and has been teaching at Albemarle High School for 18 years. She directs students in all aspects of producing each AHS Players performance - from acting coach, to set design, to oversee-

The mission of the LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph is to celebrate the vision of extraordinary photographers, ignite conversations about critical issues, and foster the next generation of artists.

An integral part of this mission, the LOOK3 2015 Education & Mentorship Program will take place on Thursday, June 11 at the Jefferson School City Center. It will present Innovation Labs, Workshops, and Portfolio Reviews for early-career photographers, university photography students, and high school photography students. Because of the generous contributions from our sponsors, it is able to offer all educational initiatives free of charge.

LOOK3 will underwrite 60 seats for high school students, 30 seats for early-career photographers, 25 seats for university students, and 80 portfolio reviews.

Two Innovation Labs will be offered, both of which are open to early-career photographers and university students. Innovation Lab I, “Disruptive Images: Photography and Intervention,” is offered in collaboration with Magnum Foundation’s Photography, Expanded initiative and will offer a project development laboratory that explores photography as intervention.

Innovation Lab II, “Cutting Through the Noise: Shaping Visual Stories for Impact,” is led by German-born Canadian photographer Zun Lee, who will model how to conceive, develop, and produce a meaningful body of photographic work.

Portfolio Reviews are open to early-career photographers and university students. One-to-one reviews are powerful and often career-defining experiences for photographers. LOOK3 will offer eighty twenty-minute portfolio

reviews free of charge to early-career photographers on a first-come-firstserved basis.

Two Workshops will be offered.

University & High School Workshop I, “Beyond the Selfie: Photography, Social Media & Global Activism,” is a collaborative workshop for 30 local high school and 15 university students led

by UVA Professor John Edwin Mason that will actively explore the intersection of photography, social media, and activism.

High School Workshop II, “Snap!

Photography, Advocacy & Nature,” is a workshop for 30 high school students led by internationally recognized photographer and Harvard entomologist Piotr Naskrecki, the 2015 TREES artist who will share his techniques and insights on using natural history photography as a tool for advocacy. For both classes, high school students will be nominated by teachers from Charlottesville’s 10 public and private high schools The LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph will transform historic downtown Charlottesville into a vibrant art space with exhibitions, talks, projections, events, and workshops from June 10 - 13, 2015.

PROPERTIES Boost Charlottesville’s Real Estate Market

f you love horses you’ve come to the right place.

Our area’s love affair with all things equine began in the 1600s when colonists brought the first English stock to this country. Ultimately, historians believe it was the introduction of the bloodlines from these early animals that resulted in the American Quarter Horse.

Today’s horse enthusiasts include those who enjoy leisurely trail riding on weekends and individuals who engage in fox hunting, racing and dressage. Horses are also big business for

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PH.D.

entrepreneurs involved in all manner of breeding, training and caring for these special animals.

Our area’s natural beauty, plus rich pastures and easy availability of equine goods and services, are three main reasons home buyers come to our area looking for horse properties.

Meanwhile, the rest of us benefit from the horse economy, which includes revenues from events like the Foxfield Races and other similar competitions and events. Add to this the sale of goods and services such as feed, tack, or riding lessons and the annual revenue from horses exceeds $1 billion providing over 16,000 jobs and generating $65.3 million in state and local taxes.

Horse lovers also help boost our real estate market as local REALTOS® have much to offer equine enthusiasts who seek properties that will comfortably house them and their animals. The result is a steady demand for properties that can accommodate horses as well as for residential areas that have easy access to horse boarding and other related services.

What Makes For a Good Horse Property?

“It’s the topography of the land that is important,” said Bunny French with Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates. She added that horse buyers want rolling rather than steep hills with flat and open areas with lots of grass.

MONTEVERDE - Classic brick Georgian located on 222-ac. in southern Albemarle county with dramatic Blue Ridge mountain views over pastoral and productive farm land. Numerous barn improvements and potential guest house. Currently planted in soy bean this versatile property can accommodate equine and/or live stock usage.

WATERSON FARM - Stunning 34-acre lot is one of Albemarle County’s most exclusive building sites. Extremely private with expansive Blue Ridge Mt. views neighboring Farmington Country Club located less than five minutes from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia. . Protected by conservation easement and surrounded by large tracts of land under permanent conservation easement.

RIVER VIEW – Exceptional 570-ac. farm in picturesque valley traversed by the upper Rapidan River. Open land and wooded mountain property.

Superbly constructed 4-BR brick manor with copper roof, over 5,000 s.f., enjoys stunning views of the Blue Ridge and working cattle farm. Additional 2-BR brick home and numerous farm improvements. Near the Shenandoah Nat. Forest - Proximity to Charlottesville and Washington, DC.

DANCING CREEK - Mountain retreat on over 200 acres in North Garden.

Newly constructed 3-BR/2-BA home, c. 2000, framed with 200 yr-old timber, 11 ft. ceilings, wrap-around porch, copper and slate roofing, and stunning views. Building sites and additional development rights exist. Streams, jeep trails, and abundant wildlife. Private and secluded, yet easily accessible.

Horse lovers are also concerned about equine support services such as good farriers and feed and tack stores. Bonner emphasized as well the importance of and availability of excellent veterinarians along with convenient emergency services.

Another consideration is the barn, however, “the owners’ activity defines the type of barn and if they even want one,” French said. A run in shed may be sufficient for someone who is a fox hunter, however, “people who have show horses prefer individual stalls with a central aisle,” she added stating this is often also true for those who participate in dressage.

Dent added that people who want a barn are often very interested not only in the number of stalls but also their size. They will also question whether there is sufficient space for hay storage and how close the barn is to the pasture. People who have show horses will want a ring as well which, Dent said, “is big enough for jumps and appropriate for dressage.” The footing is critical here as well in that it needs to be soft enough to protect the horses’ feet.

Horse lovers participate in different kinds of activities and these help determine what part of our area makes the most sense for them to locate. Fox hunters will want to be near hunt country while trail riders will want access to nearby trails and/or farms that allow others to ride there. Dent explained that most rural property owners are generous about giving permission to equestrians who want to ride across their property.

Pam Dent with Gayle Harvey Real Estate Inc. agrees, stressing that “a serious horse person” will have to be satisfied that the land will work first before even looking at the house. Common concerns of these buyers include the quality of the pasture and whether or not there is enough of it for the number of horses they have, she explained. Gently rolling hills are important because if they are too steep there is less land for pasture. Good water is also an essential asset and high on the list of desirable features for a horse property.

Another area of interest is a property’s fencing and barns. “Horses are very delicate,” French said, which means barbed wire fencing is not the best because the animals can get caught in it. She explained the type of horse could also impact the owner’s choice of fencing noting that “high strung thoroughbreds” are more likely to get in trouble than draft horses which she described as “gentle giants.”

French expressed a personal preference for four board fencing which she described as safer with more aesthetic value than the alternatives.

“It makes such a statement,” she said while acknowledging it does require some maintenance.

Jim Bonner, a former blacksmith and now a REALTOR® at Roy Wheeler Realty Co. expressed a similar sentiment when he said, “bucolic scenes of horses grazing in beautiful pastures with solid board fences and some pretty impressive barns…make the landscape pleasing to the eye and much more appealing than commercial and residential development which could well be an alternative.”

Fully restored under the direction of the Virginia Department of Historic Preservation.

Bonner expressed a similar sentiment saying, “being able to ride right off the property rather than trailering horses to other destinations is meaningful and having so many large, protected natural areas to ride makes this ideal horse country.”

The Market for Horse Properties French described the market for horse properties as “getting better” with more movement than a year ago.

She is starting to get calls and believes “the market is coming back around.”

Lately she is hearing from people in places like the northeast or Michigan who like the idea of “venturing to a more temperate climate.” One of these was a professional horse trainer from the northeast. Another recent call came from a retiree for whom horses are a hobby and a sport.

Dent described the market as good.

“It has picked up lately,” she said indicating that she is hearing from a lot of people with inquiries. “There are definitely more people out there looking,” she said.

Inventory is a problem at the moment with not so many “turnkey or horse ready properties” available such as small 10 to 25 acre farms with nice facilities.

FEATURE

Horse Property Buyers There are as many different kinds of buyers as there are horse enthusi-

asts. For example, some are people who have previously boarded their animals and are now ready to purchase a property where they can keep them close by.

This could be a small farm or a community that allows horses and provides trails in the common areas. Another

possibility is the Glenmore community in Keswick, which has an adjoining equestrian center with boarding facilities and teachers.

Home buyers in the horse business may need a larger spread, while still others want or need multi-million dol-

lar properties to accommodate their animals and their desire for privacy.

Dent is seeing some activity from out of state buyers, primarily the northeast and the west, who recognize our area as “horse country,” and want to move here for that reason. Of course

the scenery and access to all of the amenities in Charlottesville are added attractions that make our area a popular choice.

Some of the buyers are active retirees “who have a dream of having their horses at home,” Dent said. However, she also sees younger buyers, people in their thirties who want to own horse property. Affordability makes it more difficult to find the right situation for these buyers, however options are available for some of them if they are willing to move further out Dent explained.

Marketing Real Estate to Horse Owners When it comes to selling equine property or finding the perfect home for horses and their owners it helps to have a REALTOR® who shares their clients’ interests and understands their special needs. For these reasons many

agents who specialize in this market are horse owners themselves or have participated in the industry in some significant way.

When Dent lists a horse property she features pictures of the fields and barns first, the house second because that’s what buyers of these properties are most interested in. Also, “it’s important for agents searching the MLS to be able to tell if it is a horse property,” she said, which means they need to know if the property has horse amenities like a stream or open land. The property’s proximity to horse events and other related equine activities are also important when marketing these properties.

When working with a horse property buyer, “we don’t look at the house first,” Dent added. Instead they check out the barn and the fields and if these are right, then she shows them the house.

Another part of marketing is getting the word out to broader markets than just locally. French targets areas such as DC and the northeast and advertises in national equestrian magazines with a message of the many advantages of being in Virginia. A big benefit is that these buyers can typically get a lot more property for a much lower price here than in many other places.

The Equine Economy and the Foxfield Races A recent study found that the horse industry in Virginia contributes at least $1.2 billion annually to our economy. The impact on the real estate industry is also substantial as the number of horse farms continues to grow while the state’s total number of farms is declining.

Virginia has the 12th largest equine population in the country. Owners spend an average of over $4,000 annually per animal including boarding, feed, training and tack contributing over $873 million in total revenue to our economy.

Another big revenue stream is horse events, such as the upcoming Foxfield Races, which together bring more than $25 million in annual revenue into the state.

Foxfield is a bi-annual event and one of Virginia’s biggest races. Always the last Saturday in April and the last

Sunday in September, it got started in 1977 when Albemarle resident, Mariann de Tejeda, provided funds for the purchase of the property. Dent was actively involved at that time helping to paint the fence for the first race.

Foxfield is a well-known steeplechase course, a sport that got its start in Ireland in 1752 when two friends settled a bet about who had the best horse. According to legend they raced to and through a local church where, as it happened, a funeral was in progress. Over time, steeplechase became popular spreading first to England and then to the United States. It is an event that requires “strategy, speed and stamina,” Dent said.

This year’s spring race is on Saturday April 25th. “It’s a great social outing,” French said, “which brings the community together.” Visit the Foxfield Races website (www.foxfieldraces. com) for more information and to purchase tickets.

If you are a horse owner you will find what you need in the Charlottesville area including great properties, equine related goods and services, and many events including the Foxfield Races.

You will also find experienced agents who love horses as much as you do and can help you find the perfect property. n Give them a call today.

t originated outside the Omni Hotel in 1988, and it quickly became a Charlottesville tradition.

In the 90s it moved to the grassy bowl at the other end of the Mall, and when the Pavilion opened in 2005, it took up residence there.

If the Downtown Mall is the locus of Charlottesville civic life, the free warm weather concert series called Fridays After Five is its most popular social occasion. The Dave Matthews Band has played it, and so have Sons of Bill – but whether the band onstage is pumping out blues or rock, country or soul, oldies or something not yet named, Fri-

days After Five is the place to hear the finest local talent.

The 2015 Fridays After Five season kicks off at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion on April 17th, and runs each Friday through September 11. All shows run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. This year’s lineup “runs the gamut from younger folks who are just getting started, to some musicians who have been playing in Charlottesville for decades and decades,” says Fridays After Five General Manager Kirby Hutto. “Stylistically it’s all over the map too, so there is something for everyone over the course of the season.” As always, volunteers will work the concessions booths on behalf of local non-profits, who will share in the proceeds.

What Hutto calls “a celebration of summertime in Charlottesville” naturally draws a large and diverse crowd.

“When the weather is gorgeous, we’re going to be packed,” he says. “We’ll have upwards of 5-6,000 people through the

gate over the course of an evening. Fridays is sort of a gathering place. People will come down, meet some friends, and then head down the Mall to get dinner. Early on we’ll see lots of young families – kids in strollers, toddlers running around. Then towards the end of the evening it’s a more young professional type of crowd.”

“One of the reasons for the success of the event is that at least 80-85 percent of the artists are local, Central Virginia-based acts. It’s a fun gig for them to play, a chance for them to play in front of their friends and family.”

“One of the reasons for the success of the event is that at least 80-85 percent of the artists are local, Central Virginia-based acts,” Hutto notes. “It’s a fun gig for them to play, a chance for them to play in front of their friends and family.” Such fun for them, he says, that the booking process is insane. “I have 22 dates to fill, and when I start the process there are probably 80-100 artists on the list – that doesn’t even count the hundreds from out of the area that have heard of the event and want to come and play it. To all of those folks I have to politely say, ‘Sor-

ry, this is a local series.’ Sometimes it’s tough decisions about who gets a slot and who doesn’t in a given year.”

Each Friday six different non-profits help staff the event. “I think last year we had sixty-some different groups that worked with us at least once,” Kirby says, “so it’s a really good fundraiser.

They don’t have to do any of the organizing, they don’t have to do any of the cleaning up – they just come down, we slot them in, and our paid staff takes care of getting everything set up and breaking it down at the end of the night.” Each group is paid based on the number of volunteer hours they provide, “so that even if they come down and it’s a colder night and the crowds aren’t there, they’re still going to get paid for the work they’re putting in.”

REALTOR® Drake Van de Castle has worked Fridays After Five for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville “around ten times,” going back to 2001.

“They provide a wealth of acts that come through for free – it’s really pretty amazing,” he says. “A lot of people have copied it; I think it was a little bit of a trendsetter. The city really loved it because it brought people down to the Mall, and people usually go for eats afterwards, or they’ll get some ice cream, so it’s a huge residual. The Mall businesses certainly are benefactors.”

THE POLLOCKS “I find it to be a fabulous resource,” says REALTOR® Pam Whorley. “Everybody’s there together, and it’s a really good way to get a feeling for the community. When I have clients coming in, sometimes we’ll meet there and maybe have dinner so we can go over our weekend plans looking at houses.”

“You can look at the economic activity that takes place on the Mall on Friday evenings – every outdoor café seat is full

most of the night,” Hutto says. Restauranteurs and other Downtown business owners are naturally appreciative. “If I go down and walk the Mall today, I guarantee I’ll get asked ‘When is Friday starting, we’re ready, bring it on?’”

2014 Rockn’ to Lockn’ competition winners Erin and the Wildfire opened this year’s season on April 17 with rock, blues, folk, and soul. Erin has an awesome voice,” Hutto says “Her career

is definitely on the way up. With her recognition growing, it was the right time to let her be the kickoff band for the season.”

April 24 brings Crozet’s six-member, all-originals band, Second Draw.

“When you see the mandolin and banjo out-front, people assume bluegrass,” says mandolin player Rob Frayser. But electric guitar, electric bass and drums give the boys “a solid rock and roll foundation,” and with an accordion in the mix, the sound defies categorization – electric newgrass, jam-band dance pop? They call it “Blue Jam Music.”

On May 1 The Pollocks make their Fridays After Five debut. “Jason Pollock was the lead guitarist for Seven Mary Three when they were putting out number one hits and touring the world,” Hutto says. “After he got done with that, he moved back home to Batesville and put together a new band.”

The party continues each Friday through September 11. “After 28 years, Fridays After Five has become part of the tradition of Charlottesville,” Hutto says. “It’s an event that has grown and grown and grown, and for a lot of people it’s an automatic – it’s Friday evening, let’s go downtown.” n

ia. The Houses of Wood and Straw (HOWS) Project provides proper housing, straw bedding, and other comforts for neglected outdoor dogs. Voices for Animals also provides action alerts on a variety of animal protection issues, and pet food drives for the needy, doing all they can to create a better world for animals.

A second event sponsored by Unity’s Spiritual Cinema will show a film on Friday, May 8 entitled, Animal Communicator. The film is about Anna Breytenbach, a South African woman who has dedicated her life to what she calls interspecies communication. Breytenbach sends detailed messages to animals through pictures and thoughts. She then receives messages of remarkable clarity back from the animals and teaches us that we all have this capability and deep spiritual connection.

A second short film, Dream People of the Amazon, is about the Achuar people of the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle and their intimate connections to the plants and animals of their land, and their determination to keep their land sacred.

All animals and their humans are welcome for the Blessing for the Animals on Saturday, May 2. Pet owners should be aware of how their animal friends behave in a large group with other animals. Volunteers from Voices for Animals will be on hand to assist. The Unity Spiritual Cinema event is for humans only. Rain date for the Blessing for the Animals is Saturday, May 16 at the same time. For more information, visit www.unitycville.org or www.voicesforanimals.org, call Unity at (434) 978-1062, or see the Facebook event at Unity of Charlottesville. n
