What to do this week in Crozet
Posted on January 27th, 2008 by Jim Duncan
Tuesday, January 27 - There is a FREE tax seminar this Tuesday, January 29 at Crozet Library at 7:00 PM in the meeting room. If you have questions about the Alternative Minimum Tax delays or just want to make sure you are getting every deduction you deserve please come meet our tax professional.Tuesday, January 27 - The Planning Commission will hold a work session on Tuesday, January 29, at their regular 6:00 p.m. meeting, to review and discuss the Crozet Downtown Zoning project.Discussion will include review and recommendation on proposed regulations for a new Downtown Crozet Zoning district and boundaries for a potential County-initiated rezoning to the proposed zoning district.The Commission will be asked to review and provide specific comment on the following issues:• Proposed By-right & Special Use Permit Uses permitted by the proposed Downtown Crozet Zoning district regulations• Boundaries of County-Initiated Rezoning• Buffer/Screening Adjacent to Residential Districts requirements of the proposed Downtown Crozet Zoning district• Information regarding potential impacts of a County-initiated rezoning, including implications to the Entrance Corridor & Architectural Review Board (ARB) guidelinesThursday, January 31 - Benyaro at Uncle Charlies! From a truly underground (NYC subway) background, the uniqueness of Benyaro, a folk-pop trio led by Ben Musser and sister, Meg Chamberlin, is the creation of songs with themes of idealism, mountains and stars, and a latent spirituality while keeping to a simple folk-pop format…. “Humble Child” is a fine introduction, with a sound comparable somewhere between a righteous Gram & Emmylou, and Three Dog Night.

Crozet’s first denial under the new management
Posted on January 24th, 2008 by Jim Duncan
From Charlottesville Tomorrow:After her report, Tom Loach was the first to pose a question to Ragsdale. Before being appointed to the White Hall seat on the Commission by newly-elected Supervisor Ann Mallek, Loach was an outspoken critic of the implementation of the Crozet Master Plan.Loach said he could not support the rezoning because in his view it is not consistent with the Crozet Master Plan.“I look at the Master Plan, I was part of the [committee] that wrote this, I know what the intent of the Master Plan was, and I don’t think this meets the Master Plan as I know it,” Loach said. Good or bad? What do you think?

King Family Vineyards #1 winery in Virginia
Posted on January 24th, 2008 by Jim Duncan
One of the great things about living in Crozet is the number of excellent vineyards (and breweries!) within a fifteen or twenty minute drive. Now comes word that King Family Vineyards has been named the #1 winery in Virginia.Sure, it’s a press release - but a good one for our area.This is a very friendly winery with better than average Virginia wine. Michael Schapp’s contribution is exceptional, and the late harvest wines are wonderful.

Yoga in Crozet
Posted on January 18th, 2008 by Jim Duncan
The PDF flyer is here.The details on the classes:- The public is welcomed and Old Trail members receive a slight discount on the classes - Six week Series:$85/Old Trail Associate: $75- Single Drop In Class:$18 / Old Trail Associate: $15 - (these are the correct prices, there’s a slight error in the flyer about this) and we accept all credit cards, checks, etc. for payment…. Q - Are there any other yoga offerings in Crozet?A - Though I could be mistaken, I don’t think there is much, if any, yoga classes currently available in Crozet which is another reason I was interested in teaching classes there…. So, we are also currently in search of a place to hold classes over the late spring, summer, and early fall, before we can move back to Old Trail once the golf has slowed down a bit…. A - I am the only yoga teacher at Old Trail - and we really need to get the word out that there is yoga in Crozet because I keep hearing that no one knows about it, and are pleasantly surprised when they do hear.

Give your feedback to Steve Landes

(he’s our Delegate) and he has a Legislative Survey he would like us to take. Take the time to express your opinions to our elected representative.”Increase funding for mental health, transportation and other core government services” - Should transportation and mental health be grouped together, or do they warrant their own, separate questions?
