We screen our calls. In fact, this one coming in right now is going to voice mail. I’m in the middle of something.

I was in the middle of something the other day when Mr. Pancake called (online Scrabble). I just knew getting into a conversation with a breakfast menu item would have most certainly messed up my move.

But fortunately, Pancake left a message. Even though I was initially startled by the display on the caller ID, who wouldn’t want to talk to a Pancake?

Mrs. Pancake had left voice mail but Mr. Pancake picked up when I called back. He and the missus had seen our story last month about the soccer camp and wanted to sign up their grand kids for it next year. What a sweet, thoughtful man! And here I was, ignoring his wife’s phone call because of her surname.

What’s in a name?So goes the famous line in Romeo

and Juliet. As members of two warring families, the couple sealed their fate by choosing love over a family name. So, in reality, a name does mean a lot, though it necessarily shouldn’t.

Even so, we’re still not spilling the beans on our little girl’s name. Not until she is born. So, ha! We haven’t

even told our aging parents what the name is. Double ha!

Back to call screening. It’s not that we are anti-conversation, it’s just that phone communication seems to be so much more intrusive than a simple email or chatting with someone face-to-face. Our philosophy regarding tele-vision is similar. We are not anti-video. We just choose to consume our video over the internet or offline, via DVDs.

So, if you need to call us, please don’t be offended if it goes to voice mail or if Adam answers the phone and drops it in his shopping cart. Unless of course you are Mr. or Mrs. Pancake. We’ll pick it up on the first ring.

Enjoy!Yvette and Tommy Stafford

Rising alcohol levelsPart I

Rising alcohol levels in wine seem to be the trend, and not just in the 15-plus percent Zinfandels com-ing out of California or the highly alcoholic and jammy Shiraz bombs of Australia—but also all those wines of the Languedoc that for so long were a nice dinner-table level of 12% or 12.5%. While many disagree with me, I think that with some notable excep-tions wines above 13.5% are hard to pair with food…my opinion bending when it comes to super-sauced and rich game dishes or the fare of south-western France, cassoulet and such.

Why are levels rising? Some theo-ries include global warming, Robert Parker’s palate, and appeasing an American public who demands high-er alcohol. Also improved methods of viticulture mean grapes are picked riper than they once were; modern strains of yeast are more efficient at converting sugar into alcohol.

But why is high alcohol a prob-lem? To answer, I ask back: isn’t wine to be drunk with a versatile range of food? Wine with food is such a natural marriage it seems odd to have

anything else. Wine in moderation actually stimulates the gastric juices which break down food, whereas other beverages including water dilute the digestive process making the stomach work twice as hard. But just because we drink wine with food does not mean that the wine should overpower the food, which is what wine with high alcoholic levels does. I find also that for obvious reasons I can drink far less of the high-alcohol wines with a meal, and part of the pleasure of the long, many-coursed meals is to try multiple and different wines throughout.

However, as temperatures drop and the nights cool off, heavier wines with more alcohol are a natural choice, com-plimenting not only cooler days, but heavier fare eaten traditionally to ward off winter’s chill. To compromise:

Domaine Richeaume Côtes de Provence Tradition, 2008 – Domaine Richeaume has been a special favorite ever since I first worked on the sunny shores of the fabled Côte d’Azur more than twenty-five years ago. I can also remember ordering cases of Ri-cheaume when older and unemployed and living not in the glitz and glitter of the French Riviera, but in a state of

somewhat ignominy at home with my mother after returning from France. Roughly equal parts Cabernet and Grenache. The idea behind this once frowned upon but now (at least for Richeaume) classic blend is to combine the masculine austerity of the Caber-net with the feminine opulence of the Grenache. Dark, rich with sumptuous aromatics, flavors and enough tannins to age, or to drink now and feel healthy about it. $26.99 Alcohol 13.5%

Domaine Cayron, Gigondas, 2007 – I can never resist a good Gigon-das; it could be 16% alcohol and I’d happily drink it. At 14 %, Domaine Cayron, like most Gigondas, holds its own. It’s beautifully balance and the alcohol, while definitely making itself known, does not overpower. Spicy, with nuances of dark cherries, black-berries, blueberries, pepper, wood and meat, this is a wine to pair with strong cheeses and game dishes. The vintage 2007 was an exceptional year for the southern Rhône; buy up any ‘07s you can find and drink now or equally, age. $26.99

Come on out, bring the family, meet new friends, bring your picnic dinner and a pumpkin to carve. We will build a pumpkin tower and light it at dusk. The children can feed the animals the pumpkin seeds. Take your pumpkin

home to decorate the front door!

What Can I do?I love the natural light and views in my home but I don’t like blinds, & everything is Fading and it is Hot!

[ this month’s question ]

Clear View Window Films

Authorized Window Film DealerPrestige Dealer Network

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.

OCTOBER �010 NELSON COUNTY LIFE 1�

For several years after mov-ing to Virginia, Brooke Conover told friends and colleagues that her husband was a potter while Judd Jarvis, the supposed potter, stood by, sadly shaking his head.

Despite his Master of Fine Arts from Nebraska at Lin-coln, the artist felt that since he wasn’t actively pursuing his craft, he couldn’t legiti-mately call himself an artist.

And just as Brooke began to say to herself,

“We’ve got to get this kiln going,”the couple found the opportunity to buy a house in Afton,build a workshop for Judd and finally get his kiln up and running.


The 16th annual Artisans Studio Tour will take place Nov. 1� and 14. Judd and several other Nelson County artisans will be participating, as well as a variety of people from the Charlottesville area. Guests are invited to tour artists’ personal studios to see some of Virginia’s fi nest crafts including pottery, furniture, weaving, fabric design, jewelry, stained glass, clothing, baskets, wood turning and more in addition to artisan demonstrations and some hands-on experience. For more information, visit www.artisanstudiotour.com.

SEPTEMBER �010 NELSON COUNTY LIFE 1�

“And I could see the psychological difference, a difference in attitude or just feeling or self-image or self-esteem once he was able to get his hands back in clay,” said Brooke who has an MBA from Nebraska, works in human resources for Albemarle County and jokingly refers to herself as Judd’s enabler. “It was sort of like a fish who’d been out of water for too long.”

Judd is what is called a functional potter and spends most of his time creating things that can be used in the home like mugs, vases, plates and pots.

“I got excited about making something I could use in daily life and interact with,” said Judd. “I like to make things that are of service.”

But that doesn’t mean they’re all function and no form. No, in fact, it took a while to get the ball

rolling on Judd’s studio partly due to the special-ized nature of his work.

Instead of using a traditional glaze for his pots and pitchers, Judd uses a type of firing called salt firing.

“I get my pots up to about 2300°F and I intro-duced salt into the kiln and it combines with the silicone that’s present in the kiln body and basi-cally forms its own glaze,” the artist explained.

But because of the salt, the kiln must be made of special bricks – bricks that are too heavy to ship. Which is why Judd, a self-proclaimed Jack of all trades, had to build the kiln himself. And by that time – what with trying to follow building codes and still bring in some kind of income – Judd hadn’t touched clay in about five years.

“It seemed like it was slow to get there and now

it seems like it’s going 60 miles an hour,” said Judd, who now has to post about six months of calendar up in his studio, a former one-car garage.

“It’s starting.”Judd has already applied to and been accepted

into the Artisan Center of Virginia. He’ll be taking part in the Artisan’s Studio Tour Nov. 13 and 15. And he attributes much of what he’s been able to accomplish to the area.

“Nelson’s a great county,” he said. “I’m in a re-ally nice spot.”

“It’s been a very welcoming community,” agreed his wife. “When [Judd] first came down here and went over to their studios, they were very encour-aging and still are. It’s sort of like if you need a cup of sugar you can ask your neighbor. It’s a very sharing, welcoming environment.” NCL

mountains (panoramic views of Crawfords Knob)! It is ready and waiting for you to build your dream home.

Seller is also willing to share the custom house plans that have been drafted for this specific building lot.

This parcel already has underground electric, public water and sewer, and includes WPI.

245 Cedar Glen Close; .86 acres#481018; $179,900

An incredible choice!

Life is about choices and some-times having too many options can make it hard to focus. There are many more homes on the market now than in years past. If you are a buyer and still have not been able to find your dream home, perhaps it is time that you switch gears and look for a dream lot to build exactly to your specifications. You are a good candidate for a land purchase if you tend to look at a home and see the shortcomings instead of the possibilities. This would be the right home “if only” it had southern exposure, overlooked water, was situated further from the road, had more shade trees etc… When you spend more time outside looking at the land features, than inside looking at the home features, you know that your dream house really starts with finding your dream lot. Once you locate your dream parcel, here are some quick tips to consider before making an offer.

Suitability; ensure that the topography accommodates your specific building plans. Have the builder visit the location for a site review. If unable to coordinate this before the offer, incorporate a study period into the offer. In case the site is not suitable, be certain that you can terminate the contract with-out penalty.

Right of Way & Road Main-tenance; there should be a deeded right-of-way in place for land not accessible by a public road. The deed should give you and future owners the right to access the land. When the land is not accessible via a public road, verify that a road main-tenance agreement is in place so that everyone utilizing it is responsible for upkeep.

Utilities; if public water and sewer are not available, consider making an offer contingent upon these factors. Allow for a soil study period to ensure that a septic system,

rated for the number of bedrooms that you require, can be installed. Check availability of electric, gas, cable and telephone services.

Easements; does someone else have the right to access the prop-erty? Find out before you make an offer, or add a contingency that you must approve of existing easements.

Restrictions; check for deed restrictions to ensure that you can build as planned. If the land is located within a subdivision, thor-oughly review covenants and restric-tions to understand other potential limitations such as minimum house size. Also review zoning ordinances to ensure that the land can be uti-lized per your intentions.

Survey; retrieve a plat/survey and locate the boundaries. If the survey is not current and there’s a question about the number of acres in the tract, make an offer for “X” dollars per acre as determined by a new survey. This will ensure that you are

getting the exact amount of acreage purchased and nothing more or less.

Environmental Liabilities; ask if there are any known underground oil or gas storage tanks and if they exist negotiate who is to pay for removal.

Other Contingencies; evaluate the “what ifs” - things that could make the property unusable for your purposes. Add these to the offer as contingencies, meaning if they don’t happen the contract can be termi-nated.

With more than 280 parcels of land available in Nelson County, you may want to rely on a real estate professional to help you narrow the scope!

This year’s Apple Butter Makin’ Festivals at The Packing Shed off Rt. �6 in Tyro are on Oct. � and 16 from 10am to 4:�0pm.

October is Virginia Apple Month. For more information on touring Nelson County’s apple country, turn to page ��.


SEPTEMBER �010 NELSON COUNTY LIFE �7

Anne, whose maiden name is Seaman, is one of many family members who helps run The Pack-ing Shed, an apple packer, shipper, and retailer in Tyro. The Packing Shed is owned by Flippin-Sea-man, Inc., a business that represents two orchards: Silver Creek Orchard, which is owned and run by the Flippin family, and Seaman’s Orchard, which is owned and run by the Seaman family.

“It’s two separate families that grow apples and have two different businesses, but they formed a corporation,” explained Anne, who said the cor-poration was formed in 1974 when each family’s children began taking a more active role in running the orchards. “They come together to pack, ship and retail the apples.”

But it’s not just retailing. The Apple Butter Festivals this year are Oct. 2

and 16.“As long as I can remember, and I’m going

on 37, they’ve always made apple butter here,” remembered Anne.

In the late 1970s, Mennonites used to come to the festivals each year and make the apple butter. That’s when the festival was more adult oriented. But as the festival became more lively and family-

friendly, Anne said the Mennonites began to feel uncomfortable with all the live music so Richard Seaman, her father, took over the apple butter.

Nowadays it’s Carter Parr and Brian Kidd who are in charge of the 12-hour apple butter-making process. And Anne comes in at the end to add the spices.

When the festival first started, the apple butter wouldn’t come off the 30-gallon kettle until 3 p.m. or later, but now it’s ready around lunch time.

“We usually have guys that stay here all night watching the apple butter… it has to be constantly stirred,” said Anne. “They put it on around mid-night or so, so it comes off at a more reasonable hour.”

But don’t worry, early birds – in addition to the two batch minimum (that’s more than 60 gallons!) they’ll make each day of the festival, they’ll have some ready for purchase all day long.

As Anne said, “not everyone wants to spend the day waiting for the apple butter to come off.”

Not with everything else there is to do: crafters, food, pony rides, a corn maze, a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, a kids tent full of games and crafts, live music and even wine tasting. NCL

Anne Kidd has a great recipe for the spice combination required for the

best apple butter. But don’t even try asking for it.

It’s an old family recipe. Well, families.

Fifty years ago, Dr. Bob Raynor started a small, country clinic called Afton Family Medi-cine. Acquired some years later by Martha Jefferson Hospital, the clinic has seen countless Nelson County residents in the last half century.

The original clinic sits at the intersection of Hillcrest Lane and Route 151 in Afton. It brought local healthcare to the county, but unfortunately didn’t always have everything a more modern facil-ity would have. So after decades of practice, Afton Family Medi-cine is moving a few miles north and adding some state-of-the-art equipment while maintaining its priceless rural location and well-known local doctors.

“We’re going from a facility that was basically an old house to a facility that is being built for a medical practice,” said Judy To-bin, director of physician services at Martha Jefferson Hospital, adding that the new facility will not only feature new technolo-gies, but also be cleaner and pro-vide better infection control.

And architect Robin Meyer defi nitely took the rural loca-tion into consideration as she designed the new building. She

said her main goal was to have the new facility fi t into the rural area while still being a high-tech building.

“We’re out in a gorgeous spot,” she said at the new facility’s groundbreaking in early Septem-ber. “So I tried to do something that had a feeling of the moun-tains.”

Even though MJH technically ran the clinic for many years, Dr. Bob stayed on as the clinic’s physician until he retired just a few years ago, leaving his prac-tice in the hands of Drs. Stephen Schmitz and Charles Cole.

Dr. Steve, who started just fi ve years ago as Dr. Bob began to prepare for retirement, knows that the last building saw 50 years of service.

“So we’re looking forward to the next 50 years,” he said.

Dr. Charles agrees and also looks forward to the new build-ing, which should be completed late next summer.

“I think that this offi ce will al-low effi ciency that we didn’t have at the old offi ce,” he said. “It’s ex-citing to have a new building. It’s going to be good for the practice. It’s going to be good for the com-munity. It’s going to be fun.” NCL

“Taking care of a loved one with a terminal illness can be exhausting. It can turn

family members into full-time caregivers, removing the joy of being together.

That’s where I come in. I specialize in relieving the family, handling the tasks

they ask of me – bathing, grooming, changing the bed, even light housework.

It allows caregivers to take a break, run errands or just focus on spending

The Annual Mulch ParadeEvery year, like clockwork, many

of us order a load of mulch to tuck our shrubs away for a long winters nap. Mulch has a blanket effect on our plantings – holding in moisture and heat while creating a barrier against unwanted weeds. Although these are all very strong and much needed protections, all too often we tend to mulch too much and create a barrier that not only keeps out the unwanted weeds but often impedes growth of many of your perennial and native wildflowers and strangles shrubs and trees by creating a aerobic (zero oxygen) layer that is impenetra-ble to water. Layer after layer build up and create a blister-like mound of mulch surrounding trees and other plantings. A suitable alternative is compost layering.

Compost layering is a process. First you need to break up the built up layer of mulch in your landscape with a hoe or rake to introduce oxygen to aerobic areas. Then you need to add in 1-2 inches of already decomposed debris (compost) around and between your landscape plants. Since this material has already been through the composting process involving naturally high heat and oxygen (from turning) most all diseases and seeds have been killed leaving just ‘black gold’ for your landscape. It is the natural process that your mulch would have eventu-ally succumbed to anyway – you have just eliminated the process that would have taken years and tons of Nitrogen to complete. The benefits of compost or organic matter are numerous and highly sought by landscape professionals and garden-ers alike:

Improves soil structure (mainly oxygen, moisture & nutrient holding capacity)

Aids in microbial activity

Attracts garden derivatives and beneficial insects (earthworms)

Suppresses soil born diseasesHolds nutrients (both future added

material and the innate organic, slow release forms found in compost)

Acts as a pseudo mulching agent thereby increasing blanket effect on roots for winter

So how does all of this help you to grow better shrubs, flowers and vegetables? A major factor in determining how soil aids in growth and flowering of species is its nutri-ent holding capacity (professionally known Cation Exchange Capacity or CEC). Simply put, nutrients must be dissolved to be available to the plant. Once these nutrients are dissolved they carry a charge that is attracted to an opposite charge in your soil – in particular high organic matter and clay. Working together, your clay and compost work to form a reserve for the plant in holding nutrients – nutrients that will be available for growth, flowering and fruit produc-tion. Although clay soils naturally have a high CEC, compost is the workhorse by offering not only an almost equal CEC to that of clay but the added benefits mentioned above – something clay soils cannot do alone. The end result, when the soil is prepared properly, is a wonderful soil strata that is unique to our soils found right here in central Virginia – a combination that is impossible to replicate in soil veins comprised of sand or similar materials.

Compost layering is for all landscape gardens. While I have never visited a landscape where I felt that adding compost would not be advantageous, I have visited many landscapes where I felt that more mulch would definitely be counter-productive to the landscape plants – in particular perennials. Until our next article, Happy Harvest!

Another reason why people trust Afton Family MedicineWeight LossPart 5

If you have been reading my con-tributions to this column over the last several months, you will recognize the weight loss equation: Eat/Drink Less Calories + Burn More Calories= Weight Loss. I keep bringing it up because it is so important. If we become motivated and follow the equation and lose weight, so many diseases can be avoided and people live better.

I often get questions in the office about medical problems causing weight gain. Certainly there are problems that can cause weight gain, but they don’t do it outside of the above equation. In other words, you can’t gain weight without eating/drinking. There are certainly medicines that increase the appetite, and hypothyroidism slows the metabolism. It is probably even more important for a patient that has these problems to know and live the weight loss equation. I try to encourage folks to recognize the medi-cal syndrome that is in the way as an ob-stacle to weight loss or management, but not an insurmountable blockade. The truth is, I bet for every 20 people that want me to check labs and such looking

for a cause for weight gain only one of them has a medical reason to influence their weight. (It is still important some-times to look for these problems, don’t get me wrong here.) Almost always it is eating habits and lack of exercise that is the culprit.

Another common question is “can I take a pill and lose weight?” There are a few FDA approved pills out there for weight loss. But, overall they have bad side effects (heart rhythm problems, greasy diarrhea etc), cost a lot, and only provide an average of 5-10% of body weight lost after a year of use. There-fore, I really don’t recommend them. I think that a motivated person who is willing to work hard and follow the eat less/burn more calories equation will lose more than someone just taking a weight loss pill.

Remember: Get motivated, follow the equation, lose weight, live better!

Fibromyalgia and Exercise If you have fibromyalgia, you may

experience deep muscular tender points and fatigue and exercise may stir unpleasant thoughts in your head. Anxiety and pain prohibit many fi-bromyalgia sufferers from exercising. However, gentle low impact exercise can be very beneficial for those who suffer from fibromyalgia.

Gentle exercise such as walking, swimming, yoga, tai chi, qigong, pi-lates and stretching increase the mo-bility in your joints, assist in weight management, increase your outlook on life, improve sleep and improve your sense of well being.

Gentle strength training, starting with light dumbbells and low repeti-tions, will build strong muscles to support the joints and ligaments. It also improves your function so that daily tasks are less of an effort.

Exercise increases your endurance, builds tone and improves coordina-tion. Your physical well being has an overall bearing on your outlook. Physical exercise releases endorphins in the body which help to reduce

stress and anxiety.One of the keys to success is

working with a knowledgeable professional when starting your pro-gram. Start slowly, set realistic goals and progress gradually. Often it helps to exercise in sessions of 15 minutes twice a day in the beginning as your muscles and joints accommodate to the physical activity.

It is a good idea to combine a car-diovascular activity such as walking or water aerobics with a stretching and strength activity. If you choose yoga or pilates; remember there are various styles of yoga and various levels of both yoga and pilates. Talk to the instructor ahead of time to en-sure that the class is appropriate for you to avoid harming yourself.

As with any form of exercise, the hardest part is taking the first step. There may be a fear of oncoming pain or fear of failure or fear that you won’t feel the benefits fast enough. Try it - stick with it for life. I have seen even in the toughest cases, lasting benefits. You’ll regain your quality of life.

Community theater has been part of the Rockfish Valley Community Center since the very beginning. So has The Treasure Chest. And the use of the sports fields on the former elementary school grounds.

But the skate park? And the playground? The artists’ studios? The Tae Kwon Do classes? The commu-nity markets? Those all came later, thanks, in no small part, to people like the RVCC Board of Directors President Sarah Jane Stewart who said she loves being part of this place where people can come and really start something good.

Since it opened in March of 2000, the RVCC has more than met its goal of being a part of the Nelson County community.

“The Rockfish Valley Community Center got started as a grassroots effort by people who saved a build-ing to use it for the community for people to get together,” said Sarah.

“And that’s what we’re still trying to do. And we want people to feel welcome and we want to encourage them to use our facilities.”

And from small studios and rental conference rooms to larger of-fices and a party-worthy auditorium, they’re at no loss of facilities.

In celebration of the center’s 10th anniversary, they’re opening all their doors (inside and out!) for a fam-ily-friendly celebration. In addition to an open house of all the artists-in-residence, visitors will enjoy an old fashioned cake walk, open mike, live music from the Buzzard Holler Boys, a play at the Hamner Theatre and refreshments. NCL
