The Flexible Flyer has been great this season but we’re ready to see grass again. Mud would be nice.

The partially-built chicken coop is still standing. That’s because we are highly skilled craftsmen who know how to put pallets together to build a home for poultry.

Adam is holding an empty pewter wine glass because it is not holding any liquid. We not drink from pewter wine glasses. They sit in an open-door jelly cabinet to make the dining room look pretty.

When he’s not rolling that glass around, Adam is rolling around an antique ceramic butter churn. We use it to hold umbrellas and old tennis rackets. It makes our foyer look pret-ty. And adds whimsy to our home’s interior, as the magazines say.

I guess that churn is an heirloom. It belonged to an old mama-auntie-something Stafford. Sometimes the difference between an antique and an heirloom is a crack or a split. The

churn is still an heirloom.I have learned Target-brand shoes

aren’t nearly as durable as the Os-hkosh brand. They could certainly never be heirlooms.

Adam just knocked over the dictionary stand. It made a loud noise and his screaming made an even louder noise. That heirloom just became an antique.

Viva Italia,La Stoppa

In preparing the trip to Italy, I stumbled across the wines of La Stoppa and fell in love. La Stoppa is an ancient estate with vineyards stretching along the Trebbiola Valley, nestled just outside of Piacenza in the foodies’s paradise of Emilio Romag-na. It’s a place where life and work go hand-in-hand with the river Trebbia which winds and dreams its lazy way in the distance. More than a hundred years ago, the estate’s previous owner planted French grapes with an empha-sis on Bordeaux (Cabernet, Merlot, Semillon) and Burgundy (Pinot Noir). But current owners wisely added indigenous Italian varietals while keeping the international grapes and farming sustainably. La Stoppa uses natural grass cover crops, no fertil-izing, weed killers or pesticides, only sulphur and copper treatments.

The winery is now run by the viva-cious and passionate Elena Pantaleoni who says, “I continue to use the same vines that have existed here for more than a century, without asking them to provide any more than that which they can give naturally. The wines I

have chosen to produce are those that history has delivered to me. I do not want this history altered like passing fashion; I wish my wines to live for many years, so that when selected, they can be enjoyed for their color, their taste and their bouquet.” I think Elena will have her wish…at least for now these are wines that live not only through their rich history, but through their great taste.

Gutturnio, Colli Piacentini, 2007 – This blend of 60% Barbera and 40% Bonarda is a fruit bomb of a wine, but in a soft, inviting, spicy way, not in the way of the big Australia pots of jam. The balanced fruit is welcome and should come as no surprise since Barbera’s hallmark is its ripe cherry aroma, while Bonarda lays claim to blueberry notes. Drinking this wine is like eating a fantastic bar of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied. Pair with northern Italian cuisine: risotto, pasta, cheese, grilled meats and fowl. $18.99

Barbera della Stoppa,Emilia Barbera,2005 – Barbera della Stoppa takes up where Gutturnio left off. Made from 100% Barbera grapes, you might think it would lose complex-ity, but the reverse is true. This is a

sumptuous, elegant wine, with the cherry aromas of its varietal and lots of depth. Where the Gutturnio is fresh and fruit-forward, the Barbera has nuanced woody notes from twelve months aging in French barriques. Rich, velvety and smooth. Non-fil-tered. Pair with rack of lamb, Cornish game hen, grilled meats and fine cheeses. $29.99.

Malvasia, 2008 – Produced from 100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica a name which not only announces itself but speaks of the resulting aroma and palate of its final product. Honeyed, caramelized taste is perfectly blended with low alcohol and nice acidity. This is one of my favorite dessert wines, but it can just as easily be used as an aperitif or served with spicy foods. It’s a pity that so often sweet and sparkling wines are neglected unless there’s call for celebration. Perfect pairing is with crème brulée, custards and short crust pastries. But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself. $16.99.

It beginswith a prick.



While most people would have expected a form letter back, thanking them for reading, Wren has no doubt in her mind that someone would answer her and she’d find out how to make the traditional Ukranian painted eggs.

“I was very trusting that they would write back,” she said. And write back they did. “They were very encouraging in what they said.”

Someone over at National Geographic wrote back to then 15-year-old Wren about The Ukranian Gift Store which is still up and running in Minne-sota. Again, certain of getting a response, she wrote to them and sure enough they sent her a catalog – there was no e-mail or online purchasing back then, at least not for Wren.

The first thing she ordered was a simple egg decorating kit. The kit said there was no need to hollow out the egg so she got right into decorating. The whole process went pretty well and Wren was

In 1995, Terisa “Wren” Shoumate wrote a letter to National Geographic inquiring about a 1972 article she saw called “Easter Greetings from the Ukraine.”

pretty impressed with her work. And then she read a note that said for people who

live in warmer climates, it was probably better to hollow out the egg so it didn’t spoil. While in the Ukraine, where temperatures rarely get above 70˚F, warm weather is not a big problem. But for the Florida teenager who was decorating eggs during summer vacation, things could have gotten pretty bad pretty fast, so she decided to hollow out the egg.

“I carefully put a hole in each end and it went well,” remembered Wren. “I was blowing carefully but it wasn’t working very well so I blew a little harder and the whole egg exploded in my face. All that work I did came to nothing.”

But Wren wasn’t discouraged – she just hollows

the eggs out before she decorates them now, 15 years later. And instead of blowing on the eggs, she uses a bulb syringe to do the huffing and puffing for her.

And what does she do with all those shell-less eggs?

“I have a lot of omelets,” she said. She especial-ly likes veggie and cheese omelets, heavy on the mushrooms, but a girl can only eat so many eggs. Wren also uses the eggs to tan deer hides.

Wren, an artist of all kinds who has a workshop at the Rockfish Valley Community Center and

whose face greats customer behind the counter at The Java Depot, said that the process of coloring the eggs is not re-ally painting, but is instead a process of drawing on the eggs with wax using a tool called a kistka and bathing the eggs in vari-ous colored dyes. It’s called a wax resist process.

So as Wren decorates the eggs, they get more and more covered in wax until at the end, the whole egg is waxed. Then she melts the wax using a candle and the egg in all its glory is uncovered. That’s her favorite part.

Though she’s been decorating eggs since she was a teenager, Wren just recently dis-covered the traditions behind the decorat-ing and it’s only made her more interested.

“They’re actually used as a blessing for people or animals or for the fields,” she explained. “Each egg can tell a story through the symbols and the colors. It’s a visual language.” NCL

continued from page 8

Working at her studio in the Rockfi sh Valley Community Center, Terisa “Wren” Shoumate applies a diff erent pattern of wax with the kistka after the fi rst layer of yellow dye has been applied to the egg. Wren then dips the eggs in increasingly darker dyes throughout the process of making the Ukrainian style decorated eggs (opposite). After all the layers of dye have been applied, Wren applies heat from a candle fl ame to the egg in order to melt off the wax. After the egg appears shiny she gently wipes the wax from the egg with a rag. This process is called a wax resist technique.

What a great question! Before I answer it, please let me introduce myself. My name is Darin Martin, and I am a lifelong resident of Central Virginia, and a local business owner. Having said that , I truly understand why people move to Nelson County, and never leave. It is a place that is rich in history, culturally diverse, relatively small, and of course the natural beauty. Ah yes, the majestic views of the Blue Ridge, the spring fl owers, the plush greens of summer, and the lovely golds, oranges, and crimsons of Autumn.

Most people I know, including myself want to enjoy our natural surroundings as much as possible. We hike, bike, take walks, Sunday drives, and play golf. Another trend I have noticed over the years is that we want to enjoy all of those splendors even when we don’t have time to be active or just want to relax. One way this has been accomplished is by adding more, and larger windows to our homes. The upsides to doing this are obvious. We receive much more natural light, and of course those views!

Unfortunately, everything has a downside. We didn’t consider how much heat enters our home through the glass. Then there’s that awful fading. Who knew that the sun destroyed everything so fast. Now are fl oors, furniture, carpet, and artwork are a different color.

This brings us back to the original question. What can I do? Since blinds and curtains only work when they are closed, they block our wonderful views, and they eliminate our natural light. They also are diffi cult to clean, have to be replaced or repaired periodically, and don’t work well on reducing the heat that passes through our windows.

The simple yet extremely effective solution is window fi lm. Window fi lm is also known as window tinting. This is how window fi lm works. It is applied to the inside of your windows, and is a fi lter of all of the harmful aspects of sunlight. Window fi lm blocks 99.9% of the UVA/UVB rays, infrared and solar heat gain, and glare.

The wonderful thing about window fi lm is that it still

allows natural light into your home. Oh, I almost forgot about your majestic views. When window fi lm is applied to your home you will still be able to see all of your views! In fact, your views and colors may be more distinct than clear glass.

The company I own is Clear View Window Tinting. We are proud dealers of 3M Window Films. 3M was recently ranked #3 in Business Weekly’s “World’s 25 Most Innovative Companies” list, and ranked #12 on Forbes “America’s Most Reputable Companies” list. Not only did 3M invent window fi lms, but they are the only company that produces its own polyester and makes its own adhesives. This ensures the fi lm will be optically clear, and is made to last a lifetime. 3M backs all of their window fi lms with a lifetime warranty. 3M window fi lms have been recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

3M has recently awarded Clear View Window Tinting with one of only eight national awards for outstanding growth. We have achieved this by offering the best consultations, installations, and service in the industry.

Our biggest goal is to have the opportunity to educate homeowners. Our consultations include applying samples to your windows, then explaining the differences between each sample. What’s great about 3M window fi lms is they come in many varieties and perform very well. 3M has invented fi lms that are clear to dark to everything in between. 3M window fi lms signifi cantly out perform all other window treatments as far as UVA/UVB and solar heat reduction.

So open your blinds, and remove your sheets off the furniture and get the natural sunlight and views you deserve, because 3M window fi lms is so beautiful you won’t even notice them.

Make your home more comfortable by using a brand you can trust in 3M and a local company that understands window fi lm better than anyone in the area.

The recession has changed how Americans view housing. Whether being forced to make a change through foreclosures and short sales, or just opting to change with the econ-omy, many American households are downsizing and choosing smarter not bigger. “Smart, Sustainable Luxury” is the new trend as home owners downsize without necessarily skimp-ing on luxury. According to consumer experts at the International Builders Show, here are some of the most popular features that home purchasers would rather NOT live without:

r Large kitchens, with an island; the kitchen is still king. If you’re going to spend design dollars, spend them in the kitchen. Kitchens should be designed with entertaining in mind and thus should be large and open to the main family living area. Granite coun-tertops are a must for move-up buyers and buyers of custom homes, but are not a necessity for the other purchasers.

r Energy-efficient Design; ener-gy-efficient appliances, insulation, and windows are all highly valued green features. The kitchen space is tradi-tionally the greatest energy consumer and waste producer in the home; new high-efficiency appliances dramati-cally reduce energy consumption.

r Ceiling Fans; air circulation can save on heating and cooling and is an important feature in bedrooms, as well as main living spaces.

r Home office/study; as downsiz-ing occurs, purchasers are willing to trade spaces. In fact a home office or study is now preferred over a dining room. The Internet, wireless com-munications, and other advancing computer technologies have freed many people from having to go into the office every day. Dedicated home office suites provide necessary separa-tion between home and work life. The home theater may also be a thing of the past as more usable space becomes paramount.

r Main-floor master suite; this is gaining in popularity in general and is a must feature for empty-nesters and some other buyers. This shift of importance could help explain why demand for upstairs laundries is de-clining after several years of popular-ity gains.

r Outdoor living room; the popularity of outdoor spaces contin-ues to grow as outdoor living space has become a necessary extension of indoor living. The idea of an outdoor room is even more popular than an outdoor cooking area as people in general spend more time outside.

r Master suite soaker tubs; whirlpools are still desirable for many home buyers, but they clearly went down a notch in the latest survey. Oversize showers with seating areas are also moving up in popularity.

r Stone and brick exteriors; stucco and vinyl don’t make the cut anymore.

r Community landscaping and amenities; walking paths and playgrounds are more popular than golf courses, swimming pools, and clubhouses. Buyers in large planned developments prefer hiking among lush greenery.

r Two-car garages; these are popular among all buyers. Move-up and custom buyers often prefer three-car garages, in which the third bay can be dedicated for additional storage.

If you are selling, how does your home stack up against buyer expecta-tions? Use this list as a checklist to highlight the features that are most important to today’s buyers.

Bill McDonald, the Nelson County School Resource Officer, spent one recent Wednesday in an empty building looking for narcot-ics with his K-9, Nicodemus. And, although it wasn’t a real drug bust, Nicodemus was successful.

Officer McDonald and Nicode-mus were just practicing that day. They’re both members of the Blue Ridge Police K-9 Association, a group of police officers and their K-9 partners who train all day ev-ery other Wednesday. The associa-tion was formed about five years ago to help train the dogs and their handlers.

“It just sort of formed out of a necessity for area K-9 handlers to train together,” said City of Char-lottesville K-9 Officer and Handler Lynn Childers. “Most departments have only one or maybe two dogs and the training you need to do, you need other people to help you.”

Officer Childers said that the 16 hours a month the association trains is really only the minimum that

police dogs should be training and that most of the dogs, including her K-9 Brett, get training at home daily.

“A dog needs constant repeti-tion and constant reminders to stay good at what he does,” she said. “There’s a lot of things you can do by yourself, but the group re-ally fills the gap with doing more advanced skills.”

Brett, an 8-year-old German Shepherd, is considered a cross-trained K-9 who does both full police work of tracking and ap-prehending people and searching for drugs. Nicodemus and Officer McDonald, on the other hand, focus mainly on narcotics, some-thing Officer McDonald says has been extremely helpful to him as a school resource officer.

“I think the school credits [Ni-codemus] with keeping drugs out of the school by a large margin,” he said.

Just by having Nicodemus, a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois,

around the school, it prevents some students from bringing narcotics to class. Likewise, Officer Childers says that by having Brett at her side, suspects are quite often more likely to cooperate.

“Just showing up on a chaotic scene… with a dog really makes a difference in the outcome,” she said. “[Suspects] don’t seem to be as concerned with officers point-ing rifles at them as they do with dogs.”

For years, the group has been open to any local police departments with K-9 components, but recently it has attracted some new members. Helene Dodge and her yellow Lab-rador retriever, Orso, were invited to be part of the association. Orso, a search and rescue dog, specializes in live wilderness searches and human remains detection.

“This is kind of a different end of the spectrum,” said Dodge. “But they have a really great trainer and he will help me kind of move my dog along and help with some

of the weak spots he has in his searching.”

While the officers really do learn from each other, they have some professional help, too. That trainer Dodge mentioned is Armin Winkler who has been training dogs since he was a kid and is now a professional trainer who lives here in Central Virginia. After meeting with the Blue Ridge Po-lice K-9 Association to help with a dog having training trouble and then teaching an annual in-service course for K-9 Handlers, Winkler has become a mainstay in the train-ing program.

“All dog training, especially in law enforcement, is what a dog naturally likes to do,” he said. “Like he’s hunting a rabbit.”

The trick is just getting them to do it on command.

“What we do in training is we manipulate the dog to believe that a make-believe rabbit smells like narcotics,” said Winkler. “We give him replacement prey.” NCL

Spring Thaw FeedingWith a thick blanket of snow on the

ground, it is a natural for many of us to think about wildlife, in particular birds, and the many issues that they have locating a food source. However, with the spring thaw just around the corner (hopefully!), many people don’t understand that we need to remember to continue to fill those containers into the early spring months. Many birds are just finishing a long journey migrat-ing in from other areas and food is still scarce and not as accessible as it will be later in the spring. Food availability, along with prime nesting spots, is the difference between them wanting to build a nest in your landscape versus continuing on to other areas where food is more prevalent.

To keep it simple can hang a few tube feeders full of black oil sunflower seed at different intervals around your yard and attract a variety of birds. But if you want to get serious about your birds here are several tips:

The lowest feeding level is the ground (obviously) or a flat surface and attracts birds like sparrows, red-winged blackbirds and dove. This group typically is attracted to sunflower seed (both black oil and white stripped), cracked corn and millet. When using cracked corn, time your feedings so that minimal is used each time as it will rot rather quickly since it has no hard covering protecting the seed. Be wary of evergreens or structures near the feeding site since this can be a prime ambush site for cats and other preda-tors.

The next level, usually around 4-6 feet from the ground, is best suited for finches, bluebirds and cardinals. The feeders used here are the hopper or tube feeders. This group is read-ily attracted to black oil sunflowers and thistle. Since the feeder is off the ground, it is less of an issue to worry about cover for predators. Neverthe-less, I still try to keep them out in the open so that if the bird drops down for

a quick meal on the ground he does not subsequently become a quick meal!

The highest level of feeder, 6 feet or higher, is mostly for the chickadees and woodpeckers. They prefer suet in this early season and, since the feeder can be high, really don’t have to worry too much about predation. It is best not to feed suet once weather really begins to heat up since the suet can melt and damage natural waterproofing on bird feathers.

I have found best success locating the feeders about 30 feet or so from each other and typically in an area that is a bit protected from the western winter winds (if possible). Spreading the feeders out helps to not only attract more birds but to also prevent the spread of diseases and parasites since the birds themselves are more spread out. These feeding areas should also not be located too close to a natural (evergreen tree) or man-made nesting site since overcrowding in these areas either leads to nest abandonment or even, in some cases, predation from one species to the other. Remember, bluebirds, my personal favorite, like their nesting sites to be about 4-6 feet from the ground in an open area with a 1.5 inch entrance, without a perch, facing east.

As if feeding was not enough, it is recommended that you clean your feeder at least one time per month to prevent the spread of diseases and parasites. The best home remedy involves soaking your feeder in a 9 to 1, water-bleach solution for 10 minutes or so and then rinsing it – thoroughly. This will also get rid of parasites and diseases as well as old seed hulls and decaying seed that got stuck in the bot-tom of the feeder during the season.

Finally, enjoy watching your feath-ered, insect eating friends. To the or-ganic gardener, active wildlife around the garden is crucial to maintaining insect populations at acceptable levels.

Share the LoadAfter the snowiest winter Virginia

has seen in years and the weather becomes milder, I have a strong de-sire to be outdoors without the parka. Walking outdoors is not only thera-peutic but it is also great exercise. As you find your way outside, consider adding a new piece of equipment to your exercise toolbox. Trekking poles. Often thought of for hiking, it is more common to see walkers using trekking poles. There are only ben-efits and there is no downside (well, perhaps the cost).

Using trekking poles while you walk decreases the stress on your joints: particularly your knees, hips and low back. It increases your heart rate as you are utilizing your arms and your whole body. Interestingly, it does not increase your perceived exertion (your perceived effort of the exercise). A study conducted at James Madison University found that when individuals walked with trek-king poles, they expended 10% more calories (about 50 more calories an hour) without the feeling that they

were working any harder. Thus, folks could walk longer or farther and perhaps more frequently with less joint pain and less feelings of fatique. It could also be helpful for those who are beginning an exercise program who may get tired easily.

Most trekking poles are adjustable making it easy to fit them for your height. They are also quite light in weight so it is not a burden to use them. It takes a bit of coordination when you first start using them, but with practice you eventually develop a rhythm as you walk. It is especially helpful when descending hills to as-sist with balance.

So, share the load and decrease stress and pain on your joints while increasing your caloric expenditure. Have fun with it! Most importantly, enjoy the outdoors!

Dear Dr. Cole,I am confused about my choles-

terol blood test. What do all the different results mean?

Cholesterol results can be con-fusing. Cholesterol is a soft waxy substance that is needed to produce cell walls and certain hormones. Too much cholesterol, however, is a major risk factor for the development of heart disease and stroke.

Cholesterol comes from 2 sources – your body and your food. It is transported to cells by molecules called lipoproteins – mainly LDL (low density lipoprotein), and HDL (high density lipoprotein.) Simply speaking HDL is good and LDL is bad.

Our bodies make LDL cholesterol but some people create too much of it because of their genes. Eating too much cholesterol or fat can also lead to increased levels of LDL. When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can build up in the walls of arteries in the heart and brain. Now, you can’t choose your parents but you can control how much fat and cholesterol you eat!

HDL cholesterol is good because

high levels of it decrease your risk of developing heart attacks. On the other hand, low levels of HDL increase your risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, not smoking and eating healthy foods can raise your HDL cholesterol.

You may also see very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and triglyc-erides reported on your lab results. VLDL can be thought of like LDL, it is bad and low levels are desired.

Triglycerides are another type of fat. Elevated triglycerides can be due to being overweight, physically inac-tive, smoking cigarettes, consuming too much alcohol or carbohydrates.

If you do not know your cholester-ol levels you should see your doctor to have your blood checked. You should also talk to your doctor to de-termine where your cholesterol levels should be and see if any treatment is appropriate for your cholesterol.

Barbers have come a long way since “Shave and a haircut, two bits,” but most men will tell you, that’s no reason to get your hair cut at a beauty salon. Especially now that there’s a real, live barber right in Nellysford.

Lydia Holsapple has been a cosmetologist for 17 years now, but just started doing men’s hair two years ago.

“My license says ‘cosmetology and barber,’ but until you’re trained by a barber, you’re not a barber,” she said. “It’s totally different, it really is.”

Lydia spent one year training with a barber in Waynesboro before she opened up The Barber Shop right near Grave’s Grocery in Nel-lysford in September.

“That side of the county really needed a barber shop,” she said. “There’s a bunch of salons every-

where, but I think men prefer to go to a barber shop. It’s an atmosphere that men prefer. Men come and talk about huntin’ and fishin. It’s men talking to men. And they don’t have to smell chemical solution and fingernail acrylic. I don’t even have women’s magazines.”

If asked, Lydia will do a wom-an’s haircut. In fact, she cuts her own hair and everyone’s in her family including her son and two daughters. But, she does prefer working with men.

“A lot of times, they get in my chair and say, ‘I don’t care what it’s going to look like, I’m gonna wear a hat anyway.’ You won’t a hear a woman say that,” said Lydia.

Going to The Barber Shop is a little bit like stepping back in time,

though you still won’t get your haircut for two bits (no, a haircut is $12). For starters, Lydia bought an antique barber’s chair that was built in 1947. It even has a headrest so she can do straight razor shaves, which she will do for only $7. And don’t forget about the bona-fide barber pole out front.

“It kind of reminds you of something you’d see on the Andy Griffith Show,” said Lydia.

Lydia’s dad helped her put in the barber shop that has just the one work station. Lydia works by herself all day every day, but enjoys the company of her customers – some of whom come in twice a week for a nice shave. One of her frequent customer’s is Frank “Big Foot” Napier who got his hair cut

with Lydia in Waynesboro before she opened up the Nellysford shop.

Many of Lydia’s clients used to drive pretty far to get their hair cuts done by barbers, as opposed to go-ing to a salon.

“So many man have told me, ‘I am so glad you’re here be-cause now I don’t have to drive to Waynesboro or Charlottesville,’” Lydia said.

While business took a little while to build up, Lydia’s haircuts – which include a hot lather straight razor shave on the back of the neck every time – are gaining in popular-ity. She said that in just two snowy weeks in February, she had 27 new customers.

And it’s not like haircuts are go-ing out of style. NCL
