Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital
SEN TA R A INNOVAT ION
COPPE R C A R E
Does your hospital use copper? We do. For Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital the “gold standard” – is copper. Sentara continues to lead the innovation charge in delivering safe, quality care with our copper care initiative. Copper infused fabrics and surfaces have been proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and fungi in two hours. We’ve outfitted patient rooms throughout our hospitals with copper crafted sheets, blankets, pillow cases, gowns, towels and washcloths, and are in the process of introducing copper infused bedside tables, handrails and other surfaces as well. Doing so will decrease the chances of hospital acquired infections, thereby reducing the length of patient stay and the prescription of and resistance to antibiotics.
Copper Fast Facts: • Sentara embarked on the world’s largest clinical trial to study the effectiveness of copper in 2014 • Copper is an essential nutrient in the human body • Copper is effective in killing C. difficile, staph, E. coli bacteria and more

According to Charlottesville-raised Tom Perriello, he had no plans to run for governor against Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam, who declared his candidacy in 2015—until Donald Trump was elected president. Perriello, who served as our 5th District congressman from 2009-2011, says his current battle is not against Northam, but people who have no idea the June 13 primary is happening (p. 21). Learn more about both Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls and their views in our feature, and get a rundown of other primary races that will be decided next month. In the food world, as we say goodbye to beloved local baker Arley Arrington, who’s moving to Richmond (p. 43), we visit a local chef haunt that isn’t going anywhere—Riverside Lunch (p. 41). The eatery has remained virtually unchanged in eight decades, from the burgers’ makeup (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio) to the restaurant’s signature move of flattening the patties on its seasoned gas flat-top grill. Matt Greene, of JM Stock Provisions, says it’s likely one of a dozen restaurants in the U.S. that can boast 100 percent consistency in its food, atmosphere and service— Yay, high praise.—Jessica Luck

To a certain degree More than 3,600 members of 10 University of Virginia schools and the Data Science Institute took their most memorable walk on the Lawn Sunday, May 21, during the university’s 188th Final Exercises. In addition to enthusiastic graduates carrying a variety of colorful balloons, the morning included two VIP audience members: Juan Manuel Santos, president of the Republic of Colombia, and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of the Republic of Liberia, both of whom are Nobel Peace Prize recipients. Santos, Friday’s Valedictory Exercises’ keynote speaker, was there to see his son graduate from the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, and Sirleaf came to watch her granddaughter receive a degree from the Darden School of Business. A ceremony the day before conferred more than 3,000 degrees on students in UVA’s College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, the largest of the University of Virginia’s 11 schools with more than 50 majors and concentrations.

HERE COME THE BRIDES
WHAT YOU SAID ON THE WEB Jackson vows to cut pizza parties out of city budget Refreshing to hear from a supporter of keeping the Lee statue who’s, to say the least, not a white supremacist or member of the lunatic fringe. Most people I know feel the same way and none of us are racists or even fans of the Confederacy. Steve Burger
Lee Park scene of white nationalist demonstration One of the most powerful historical-structure White Supremacist electoral tools that has been used in Charlottesville for very many decades are citywide elections rather than district elections. This tool has been used for many decades to achieve the aims of its designers: political and social control of people of color, poor people, persons with disabilities, and other people the designers wanted to marginalize. No doubt many no longer ‘see’ these historical-structural roots and have imagined ‘progressive’ justifications for sustaining this archaic system of power and control. But, anyone who continues to support this historical-structural system of power and control should be required to explain why they support it when clearly its designers’ aims are being fulfilled: largely segregated neighborhoods, neighborhoods demarcated by vast wealth gaps - related to both income and housing values and inflation of housing values - simply by crossing a line into another neighborhood, the power and privilege of property owners over renters and others, a dangerously inaccessible city for most elderly, persons with disabilities, and many others. Leaders and groups are intensely invested in defaming statues and demanding their removal (well at least they do so about General Lee’s statue while strangely - and hypocritically? - keeping speechless about General Jackson’s statue) while utterly ignoring much more powerful, pervasive, and harmful legacies of White Supremacy, including the historical-structural electoral system of the City.

Edward N Virginia, yes you said it. And I’m bettiing most of the higher income university types that live in town (rather than the co.) like the status quo. You see, it is easy to protest Lee in bronze, on horseback. you make no scarifice or change in your life what so ever. Its a lot harder to fix or reform the things you mention; we might end up with truely “mixed” neigborhoods. Oh my. Bruno Hob Put the monuments in the the Battlefield Parks. Let them be part of history, but not a constant reminder of the people who would commit treason and break away from the United States, for their right to own other people. Disgraceful. Margie Shepherd War Memorial: an exhibit designed to educate the public about the people who, in the national interest, sacrificed their lives in combat.
Lost Cause Monument: a piece of public artwork that symbolizes a set of beliefs designed to legitimize and ennoble the Confederate rebellion as a heroic struggle for southern virtues, while diminishing the role of slavery. Courage: a display of strength or ability in spite of pain, grief, or fear. Will Powers These were a bunch of out of town idiots brought to cville by an internet troll. They came to get media attention which they got way too much of. Instead of making them into a big scary boogeyman they should have been laughed at on the stupid news segment in the big greasy breakfast radio show. Amy Archie/Facebook And in both nights I could count the people of color attending on one hand. If the vanilla city really cared about this and not their own agenda. They would level all four donated parks. Either give back to the deeded heirs or build low income housing and rec centers and counseling centers and job centers for the people this supposedly upsets the most. Jennifer Caudle/Facebook Reply: If you’re the target violent hatred one night, you think you’ll want to come out and protest it the next night? Or maybe you’ll stay home and hug your kids because you’re afraid for their future. I was there on Sunday and it was tense at times, not knowing who was in the crowd to disrupt or who was there to support it. Sarah Medley/Facebook Reply: Tense is an understatement, by the way. Chelsea Marie Stabler/Facebook Reply: With my firm and the large amount of minority contact we experience. Most could care less about the statues. They have greater concerns of discrimination, income, health, housing etc. and a group of a select few use this debacle rather than addressing the real issues for their political agenda. Taking down a statue is nothing. Statue stays or goes doesn’t change a thing for the people in their day to day lives. Jennifer Caudle/Facebook Wow so many whites selling the bullshit. Blacks weren’t there because we have other things to do, raise families, work, or just not into you guys self-serving protest or rallies which do not one dam thing to better our lives. Also stop telling us how we as Black People Should feel... Kenneth Jackson/Facebook Tyler Teass loves springtime peas

IN BRIEF Questionable competency
Gene Washington, charged with the 2014 murders of special education teacher Robin Aldridge and her daughter, Mani, will take a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he’s competent to stand trial this September for the slayings, ordered Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Rick Moore on May 22. Results must be in by his next scheduled hearing on June 21.

What would Robert E. Lee say? We tried to check in with the man at the center of the current controversies taking place in the eponymous Lee Park, but since he’s been dead for 147 years, we instead asked Lexington author David Cox, who just published The Religious Life of Robert E. Lee, to channel what he thinks the General’s response to our questions would be.
Couple indicted in 4-year-old’s death A grand jury indicted Heather Massey, 27, and Nicholas J. Stoia, 25, May 22 in the death of Cole James Clark May 15 in Orange when the child shot himself with a handgun in the home of his daycare provider. Massey faces five felony counts and four misdemeanors, and Stoia, a Stafford County sheriff ’s deputy recruit, faces one felony and four misdemeanor charges.
To white nationalists assembling at his statue’s feet: “I think he would be appalled.”
To demonstrations in Lee Park: He’d oppose on both sides because they arouse passion and continued partisanship, “particularly those trying to preserve the Lost Cause.” To white nationalism: He shared the sense of racial superiority most white people had in that day, but he also dissipated two lynch mobs in Lexington, says Cox. “He’s not a racial supremacist in the style of these recent protests.”
No redeeming architectural value The Board of Architectural Review okayed a demolition permit May 16 for the Clock Shop of Virginia on Water Street. Built in 1950, the property was bought by Black Bear Properties LLC for $450,000 last summer, and Hunter Craig signed the demo permit, Charlottesville Tomorrow reports.
Other hot spots, including the Pond Trail, seven miles of Rustic Trails and Secluded Farm, are still open. “It’s a great opportunity to explore somewhere new,” Roller says. In other trail news, a group of UVA urban and environmental planning master’s degree students presented a study called “Charlottesville to Monticello & Beyond” to community stakeholders May 12. The team has come up with four potential routes to connect the city to the SaundersMonticello Trail to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity.

The Clock Shop of Virginia
If a hike around TJ’s homestead is on your calendar, be aware that a portion of the Saunders-Monticello Trail is currently closed. Trail manager Julie Roller says during recent spring storms, two trees fell across the boardwalk and caused structural damage in both locations. Currently, the upper portion of the trail, which winds up to Monticello, is closed from the David M. Rubenstein Visitor Center, but the lower portion is open until the fourth boardwalk. The entire trail is scheduled to reopen by mid-June.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
To statues erected of him: “He was very humble. He’d oppose them.”
May 24 – 30, 2017 c-ville.com
To statues commemorating the Lost Cause: Lee was asked to identify battle sites at Gettysburg for monuments, and he refused. He advised “not to keep open the sores of war” and instead to “obliterate the marks of civil strife and to commit to oblivion the feelings it engendered.” Says Cox, “He’d be a terrible poster boy for the Lost Cause because he wanted the nation to put the war behind us.” After the Civil War, Lee changed and became the South’s chief proponent of peace and reconciliation, he says.
Crisis management Police report a suicidal 22-year-old UVA student was spotted atop a crane near West Main and 11th Street SE around 10:40pm May 19 and was aloft for nearly four hours, before descending safely when two crisis team members prepared to ascend. The young man was hospitalized for evaluation under an emergency custody order.

NEWS
Get out
McNeish was playing music on the Downtown Mall when he heard the chanting, he says. He left his guitar with a friend and walked over to Lee Park to see what was going on. He encountered what looked “almost like a frat crowd,” he says. He says he was expecting a group like Virginia Flaggers, who defend Confederate symbols like the Lee statue or Confederate battle flags as part of their heritage. But instead of encountering heritage-nothaters, he came upon white nationalists. “I asked them what they were about,” he says. “They said, ‘I’m white, you’re white, we’re here for white culture.’”
The man who confronted white nationalists in Lee Park
McNeish says, “I didn’t think they would be that extreme. They told me with such eagerness.” And his reaction, he says, was, “that’s more hate. I told them to get out of my town.” McNeish, 28, says he didn’t see any cops or any media when he approached the group, which he estimates at 30 people, although he says it could have been breaking up. “I was by myself,” he adds. And for his trouble, he had a couple of lit cigarettes thrown at him Saturday night, he says. “I had blood on my nose.” He was again playing music on Mother’s Day when he saw the candlelight gathering

he initial police officer on the scene at the May 13 Lee Park demonstration of Richard Spencer’s alt-right gang described between 100 and 150 people carrying tiki-style torches, some of whom were in an argument with a man who was yelling at them to “leave my town,” according to a Charlottesville Police release. That man was arrested the next night. Jordan McNeish was charged with disorderly conduct at the Sunday, May 14, protest against the white nationalists who chanted “we will not be replaced,” “blood and soil” and “Russia is our friend,” the night before. His arrest, he says, goes back to Saturday night.

in Lee Park and learned it was a response to the night before. “I saw Jason Kessler with a loud speaker being obnoxious,” he says. He doesn’t want to go into too much detail about the disorderly conduct charge in which police say he spit on Kessler, but he does say, “I didn’t realize a cop was behind me.” Photos from the event also show McNeish slammed to the ground by police. McNeish says he doesn’t recall a lot about the sequence of events, but that “it looked worse than it was.” “When people resist arrest, force is used,” Charlottesville Police Major Gary Pleasants said at a press conference the next day. He also defined disorder: “When you do something that leads to a breach of the peace.” Kessler, too, was charged with disorderly conduct, as was Charles W. Best, 21, who also was charged with concealed carry of a switchblade and felony assault on law enforcement for allegedly clocking a cop on the head with a thrown cell phone. McNeish’s previous claim to local fame was when he started the Jefferson Area NORML in 2012 and convinced City Council to pass a resolution to ask the governor and General Assembly to reconsider pot penalties and consider regulating marijuana like alcohol. That came after McNeish spent six months in jail for a felony conviction for possessing 2.6 ounces of pot in 2009 when he was 20. In Virginia, possession of more than half an ounce is a felony distribution charge. “I used to try to get attention for activism,” says McNeish. “Now, not so much.”

This is an absurd situation and shows whose side the criminal system in this community is on.”
right-wing blogger told the judge he’s having trouble finding an attorney to represent him. “It’s been a little hard for political reasons to find one here in Charlottesville,” he said. “My friend’s been through the whole phone book.” When he declined to comment outside the courtroom, a witness who saw Kessler’s behavior in the park stepped up. Pam Starsia, a local attorney and organizer with Showing Up for Racial Justice, says she saw a woman of color “violently thrown to the ground in full view of Charlottesville police, one of whom told her directly that he saw Jason Kessler assault her.” She continues, “Jason Kessler walked out of jail three hours later while one of the peaceful protesters sat in jail for nearly a full day. Jason Kessler is now being given a ridiculous disorderly conduct
His next hearing is scheduled for June 22. Kessler was convicted of assault for punching Jay Taylor while collecting petition signatures in January to remove Vice-Mayor Wes Bellamy from City Council. On May 8, he was given a 30-day suspended jail sentence and 50 hours of community service. Legal expert Dave Heilberg says that should Kessler be convicted, for purposes of sentencing on the new charge of disorderly conduct, the judge will consider his previous record of convictions—and it’ll be a violation of his good behavior. Any new sentence could also carry the original 30 days of suspended jail time on top of it, says Heilberg. Since this story was originally posted online, local attorney Mike Hallahan offered to defend Kessler on Facebook. In 2014, Hallahan defended Randy Taylor, who is serving two life sentences for the murder of Alexis Murphy.—Samantha Baars

Still relevant? New NAACP president faces charged civil rights landscape By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com
T
here were times in its century-long history that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was considered a militant organization. Today, not so much. Just last week, the national organization’s board ousted its president and called for a “systemwide refresh.” Janette Martin took the helm of the Albemarle-Charlottesville NAACP in January at the same time President Donald Trump took office, and her organization, like so many others, is struggling to cope in a new era of American politics that’s energized by activist groups like Black Lives Matter. Has the NAACP been supplanted by such groups? “No,” says Martin. “We’ve been around for 108 years, with over 2,200 chapters. We’re very careful.” Perhaps that’s why Martin didn’t respond to white nationalists putting the city on the national stage over the Robert E. Lee statue until four days later, when she compared them to the KKK. “When you read about how they came in the night,” says Martin, “this group—I’m not saying they’re the Klan—but I think they wanted to intimidate.” With the torches, the only thing missing was “the white sheets,” she said at a press conference. Martin, a teacher for 30 years, is a lifetime member of the NAACP, and admits she’s more of a “behind-the-scenes per-
son.” She said she’d been asked several times by former president Rick Turner, who was often controversial and confrontational, to take the job and had declined— until she was thrust into the position with his resignation late last year shortly after he won a heated re-election. Growing up in Charlottesville, she was a member of First Baptist Church, where the Reverend Benjamin Bunn founded the local chapter in 1947. “People were really into the NAACP,” she recalls. “They pulled us in.” And she’s risen through the ranks, starting with passing out programs at banquets, to serving as secretary and then vice president. She touts the venerable organization’s conferences, education programs and structure, with its 19 standing committees to deal with issues. She’d like to have six active committees here, such as education, to get people engaged rather than waiting until a crisis to act, and she needs chairs for the health, political action and membership committees, according to the chapter’s website. Since the election, she says the local chapter has 100 new members and attendance at meetings is up. But to get anything done, the NAACP needs commitment and “people power,” she says. The NAACP “is still relevant,” she says— and continues to battle some of the same issues. “They fought for voting rights, and now we’re right back to it.” Says Martin, “We’d like to be the face of civil rights in the community.”

y age 6, children—and girls, especially—begin to express concerns about their weight, according to a widely referenced 2011 study by psychologist Linda Smolak. For this reason, one local mother says the practice of publicly weighing students during gym class should be banned. At press time, Christa Bennett’s petition to stop weigh-ins in Charlottesville City Schools had 91 of the 100 signatures she wanted to get. “Why are our children being weighed? At Jackson-Via Elementary, parents are not notified that this will be happening nor are they provided with the results afterwards,” the petition says. “Weight has some correlation to health, but more and more research is coming out that indicates healthy individuals can have significantly different weights.” The mother of a third-grader at JacksonVia, Bennett says her daughter, Emma, hasn’t criticized her own figure, but for Emma and her peers, “it’s something that’s going to begin a problem and they may not realize it until they’re 20, looking back and wondering where their body issues started.” She says weighing children in front of their classmates should be done with sensitivity to insecurities that kids may already be developing. “Without a compelling reason, it shouldn’t be done. And never should it happen without parental notification and follow-up,” she says. One mother who supports Bennett’s efforts, and asked not to be named for fear her daughter would be singled out, says her second-grader at Burnley-Moran Elementary School is 8 years old, and already talking about calories and how she doesn’t like certain things about her appearance. “With all the pressure on kids to look and act a certain way, the last thing they need is
a message coming from their school that their bodies may not be ‘right,’” she says. “Especially if that message is being conveyed in front of a roomful of their peers.” Bennett’s petition also addresses disciplining students by taking away their recess for misbehaving or forgetting homework. Emma, she says, has had her recess forfeited twice for talking in class. “Weighing children one day and taking away recess the next is not an approach that makes sense,” Bennett says. Though her daughter has had an enjoyable experience in school, she says, Bennett brought her concerns to the Charlottesville City School Board on May 4 and the School Health Advisory Board on May 9, when Superintendent Rosa Atkins said recess should not and will not be taken away from students. (The majority of elementary schools had this practice.) “It isn’t over yet,” Bennett says, adding that only about 15 people heard the superintendent make that remark. “I would like for her to email or write to parents and teachers so everyone is on the same page.” Bennett also calls for more disciplinary resources for teachers who have been taking away recess. “If you’re going to say ‘you can’t do this,’ what can you do instead?” she asks. Patrick Johnson, the coordinator of health and physical education in city schools, says weigh-ins have been suspended since March. The School Health Advisory Board has been evaluating and updating its wellness policy since September, and he hopes to have an updated policy for the school board to review by the start of next school year. “We have traditionally not weighed students in the spring semester, just once a year in the fall,” he says. “Due to the concern of Ms. Bennett and the updating of the wellness policy, I made sure that the PE teachers understood that we were not weighing students this spring.”
Christa Bennett and her daughter, Emma, enjoy recess at Jackson-Via Elementary School.

The latter would affect Nick Taucher, who also works in the Silverchair office, but uses a mode of transportation that’s a bit different from his unicycling colleagues. His is called a Onewheel and it looks like a skateboard with a giant wheel in the center. It’ll go around 15mph for about seven miles—but unlike the unicycles, which take hours to charge, his only takes about 20 minutes. “In terms of coolness, Nick’s would absolutely win,” Leitch says.

n his Downtown Mall office, Stuart Leitch unfolds two pedals on either side of his electric unicycle, steps onto each and begins to balance from side to side with the 14-inch wheel between his shins. “I’ve had it for a year and a half and I’ve used it pretty much every single day,” says Leitch, the chief technology officer at Silverchair Information Systems. “I’ll take it to the dentist, the hairdresser, basically anywhere I need to go within about a three-mile radius.” That includes his workplace. Residing only a few blocks from the mall, Leitch is hard to miss by anyone living or working nearby: They’ve likely seen him—and maybe his wife, too, on her mini Segway— zipping around. “I generally have a pretty low profile,” he says. “Even a year and a half in, I’m surprised that so many people continue to comment. They say, ‘Oh wow, there goes the future!’ ...They’re fascinated.” It took him about a week to become comfortable riding his electric unicycle, he says. His is “dangerously fast”—it can go about 25 mph for 25 minutes. The device is controlled by leaning forward to speed up and backward to slow down. And though he’s had a few accidents, he says he’s usually able to stay upright. “You’re typically going at running speed. If you’ve got your wits about you, you just run.” Max Barbour, a Silverchair coworker and the electric unicyclist who inspired Leitch to buy his own, wasn’t so lucky with his wipeout. The spill resulted in a radial fracture in his right elbow and six weeks of recovery time, but Barbour says when he recovered, he was ready to get back on the
horse—er, unicycle. His is a bit bigger at 16 inches tall, but it doesn’t go quite as fast, and he says he’ll drive halfway to work before parking his car and riding the rest of the way. With an emerging technology, it’s sometimes hard to know the road rules. Leitch says he’s been stopped by one patrol officer on the mall, who said she was unsure of any city code pertaining to electric unicycles. She suggested he follow the same rules as a traditional cyclist. “No person shall ride a bicycle, an electric power-assisted bicycle or moped on any sidewalk or other area designated exclusively for pedestrian traffic...provided however, that this prohibition shall not apply to on-duty police officers and other uniformed emergency services personnel,” city code says. It also prohibits roller skates, skateboards, scooters “or similar devices on wheels or runners.”

Homegrown upstart Perriello is blunt when asked if he’d be running for governor now had Trump not been elected president. “No,” he says a month before the June 13 primary. “As someone who’s worked in countries with demagogues and authoritarians, I had a strong understanding that this

was not some simple transfer of power from Democrats to Republicans, but a deeper attempt to undermine the rule of law and our concepts about living together across racial and regional lines.” Later that same day, tiki torch-carrying white nationalists would assemble in Lee Park. “Get your white supremacist hate out of my hometown,” Perriello responded in a brief Twitter skirmish with alt-right leader Richard Spencer. Northam, too, denounced the whiterighters, as did many state leaders. But Perriello had a press conference the following Monday and called for a statewide commission on racial healing and transformation, and for booting Lee-Jackson Day from the calendar of state holidays, the latter of which Northam also supports.

Toscano gets a challenger
House of Delegates Minority Leader David Toscano
Ross Mittiga
facebook.com/cville.weekly
When David Toscano first ran for City Council in 1990, it was as a member of the Citizen Party. In the 27 years since, he’s gone from radical to Democratic establishment as the House of Delegates minority leader. And he faces his first Dem primary challenger in the dozen years he’s been in the House—one who contends Toscano’s not progressive enough. UVA instructor Ross Mittiga, 28, who’s working on a Ph.D. on the ethical challenges of climate change, is another candidate spurred to action following the election of Donald Trump. “After I recovered from that, I realized progressive environmentalists have to focus on the local level,” he says. “Delegate Toscano had a great reputation as a liberal lion of the General Assembly.” It’s the contributions from telecommunication corporations, banking, developers and Dominion Energy that concerned him, he says. In particular, Mittiga questions a Toscano vote that froze Dominion rates, which he calls a “massive giveaway.” And he says he called Toscano’s office “dozens of times” and couldn’t get his position on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. “Those are things that really bothered me,” he says. When asked whether he’s in Dominion’s pocket, you can almost hear Toscano, 66, rolling his eyes over the phone. “I’d like to think my record stands for itself,” he says.

There are times I’ve supported Dominion and times I don’t.” He has supported renewable energy and fought against the coal tax credit, he says. With endorsements from the Sierra Club and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters, he says, “my environmental bona fides are pretty good.” Mittiga has endorsements, too: The Democratic Socialists of America and the local Our Revolution, an offshoot of the Bernie Sanders-affiliated Political Revolution. “A lot of people are really excited” about his campaign raising environmental issues, says Mittiga. And better yet if he can beat the House minority leader who “has a quarter million dollar advantage over us,” he says.

ieutenant Governor Ralph Northam pretty much had clear sailing to the Democratic nomination for governor when he announced his run in 2015. Attorney General Mark Herring agreed not to run and Northam had the endorsement of Governor Terry McAuliffe and just about everyone in the state Democratic establishment, as well as a sizable war chest. Then along came Donald Trump, a tsunami of resistant activism—and former 5th District congressman Tom Perriello. Perriello’s January announcement stunned Dems across the state, and caused some fissures here in his hometown where people who supported his 2008 and 2010 races were already committed to Northam. Some see Perriello’s progressivism and Northam’s party anointment as a replay of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders’ fight for the presidential nomination last year. And indeed, Perriello has obtained the endorsement of Sanders, as well as the Democratic Party’s other leading progressive figure, Senator Elizabeth Warren. Others say that’s too simplistic a comparison. “No new race is identical to a prior race,” says UVA Center for Politics pundit-in-chief Larry Sabato. “Obviously, Perriello is the insurgent, like Sanders, and Northam has the overwhelming backing from Democratic elected officials in Virginia, like Clinton did. But there are plenty of differences, too.” Perriello’s energy often comes up when people talk about the 42-year-old. Supporter Dave Norris, former Charlottesville mayor, says Perriello “has a great energy. He’s personable. People know he’s going to push for positive change in Richmond.” Norris finds it telling that Perriello was the only congressional candidate for whom President Barack Obama showed up in 2010. “People appreciate that he sacrificed his congressional career to assure that tens of millions of people could have health care,” he says. And now Perriello wears his ousting after one term for voting for the Affordable Care Act as a badge of honor. But Northam and his supporters aren’t backing down. Longtime political observer Waldo Jaquith, a Perriello supporter, notes that rather than changing course when Perriello came on the scene, “for the most part, people I know who committed to Northam have doubled down.” He describes the race as one candidate who gets grassroots enthusiasm and another who quietly chugs along—and wins. “If I were a bookmaker, I would say Northam is the odds on favorite.” However, lieutenant governor isn’t the most high-profile office in Virginia, and

living room for his campaign’s Women with 23 Tom coalition kickoff, and then dashing off to a forum with Northam at The Haven. The Yale-educated son of a physician acknowledges his privilege, and how he has tried to use it to help others. He tells the women who’ve come to his mom’s house about doing human rights work in Sierra Leone, a place with one of the worst records in the world. A female leader in Sierra Leone asked him to move there, and when he asked why, she replied, “If you’re standing next to me I’m less likely to get shot, and that would be really helpful.” From Sierra Leone, says Perriello, “I learned I could use the structural privileges I have of race and gender and class to help everyone have a voice.” When Linda Perriello introduces her son, she refers to him as “a man of conviction” and notes his “conviction politics.” Family friend David Shreve calls Perriello’s stance the “politics of possibility.” He, too, dismisses a Hillary/Bernie replay, and says instead, “Tom is very astute at discerning the political movement culture.” Says Perriello about entering the Virginia governor’s race, “The Democratic party had a theory of winning that made sense with Secretary Clinton in the office.” The shift in the political landscape after Trump won, he says, meant “I gave the Democrats a much better chance to win,” as someone who’s been able to win in red parts of the state, “as well as exciting our base that’s going to need turnout to win. ” Perriello sees himself as bringing a new generation of ideas to a Democratic party that’s out of touch. “Many of the leaders in both the Democratic and Republican parties are about 25 years behind the curve,” he says. “They’re just waking up to the idea that globalization created pain and inequality. Both parties have been behind the curve of the dynamics that gave rise to Trump in the first place.” Automation and technology, he says, are going to destroy one-third to one-half the jobs in Virginia over the next 15 years, Perriello says, and “re-monopolization” will mean fewer businesses in fewer places.

although Northam has won a statewide office, says Jaquith, “From my perspective, Northam is super boring. I’m nervous in a Trump era to get someone like Northam rather than someone who gets people fired up like Perriello.” Northam has state experience going for him, says Sabato, with his years in the Senate and four years as the gubernatorial understudy. “Perriello has never served in any state office,” he says, “But Perriello was a highprofile congressman from 2009-2010, and he has the backing of lots of national Democrats—Sanders, Warren and a host of Obama aides.” Here’s how tight the race is—and how varying polls can be. One taken May 9 and 10 by the Virginia Education Association, which has endorsed Northam, puts him at a 10-point lead with 41 percent of potential primary voters choosing Northam, 31 percent favoring Perriello and a hefty 29 percent undecided. But a May 9-14 Washington Post-Schar School poll puts Perriello slightly ahead with 40 percent of likely voters to Northam’s 38 percent. “Every indication we have is that it’s a reasonably close contest,” says Sabato. “Primaries tend to be determined in the final weeks and days, as news coverage and advertising ramps up with the approach of election day.” Perriello polls well among younger voters. But the big question is, will resistance to Trump send those who normally don’t vote in primaries to the polls June 13? “My opponent in this primary is not Ralph Northam,” says Perriello. “It’s the people who have no idea this primary is going on.”

“Donald Trump was right in many ways to call out the economic pain in communities, but he was 25 years out of date about the cause,” says Perriello, in blaming it on “globalization and any minority he could find.” Perriello’s upsetting the state Dem applecart did bring some blowback in the first month from people who previously had been allies, and he says he got two responses. Privately he was asked, “What are you doing?” The other reaction: “Thank God.”
An officer and a gentleman Eastern Shore-raised Ralph Northam, 57, still has that accent that pegs him as a Virginian. His grandfather was a surgeon, his father a judge and his mother a nurse. It was from her, he says, that he “learned to give back.” Northam, a pediatric neurologist, frequently notes that he went to public school during desegregation when other white parents were shipping their kids to private schools. Politics didn’t become a calling until 2007, when he was elected to the state Senate. “I had a lot of frustration with insurance companies, and I was spending a lot of time on the phone getting things authorized for my patients,” says the physician. The environment was an even bigger factor. “I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, it was literally my backyard, and I watched the
demise of the bay over my 50-plus years,” he says. “I ran in a very conservative district that people said I could never win. I ran on the same Democratic progressive values I run on today.” He lists protecting the environment, marriage equality, women’s reproductive rights, responsible gun ownership and economic opportunities for all. Northam has gotten flak for voting for Republican George W. Bush—twice. “I was under-informed politically,” he admits. “Knowing what I know now, it was the incorrect vote.” There is a moral to that admission of the ballots he cast in the privacy of a voting booth. “I did tell the truth,” he says. “My honor is very important to me.” Honor is a theme that dates back to his days at Virginia Military Institute, where during his senior year he was president of the honor court. He initially wanted to fly Navy jets, but learned his eyesight wouldn’t pass muster for that. Following Eastern Virginia Medical School, he served as a physician in the U.S. Army for eight years and treated casualties from Desert Storm. He left the Army in 1992 as a major. Northam frequently mentions that he’s a vet, and that’s a point that plays well in conservative parts of Virginia. In 2009, Senate Republicans wooed him to switch teams, which would have given them a majority, but Northam rejected the GOP siren call. That same year, he got legislation passed that banned smoking in restaurants in tobacco-friendly Virginia. His response when asked about Perriello’s entrance in the race is gentlemanly,

Crushing it The day after the House of Representatives repealed the Affordable Care Act, Tom Perriello released an ad in which an ambulance is being crushed in the background while he stands in front of it and says, “Republican leaders are trying to do this to affordable health care.” Says Perriello a few weeks later, “I really did do the ambulance ad in one take.” Apparently scrap ambulances are hard to find, and it’s even harder to find one in a scrapyard that has a crusher. “But, as luck would have it, we found one locally in the D.C. metro area, sans engine, which is where we also shot the ad,” says Perriello staffer Remi Yamamoto. “It began raining early in the shoot, when we were practicing,” she writes in an email. “So we were all worried that the ad wouldn’t get shot. But it cleared up, and we were able to shoot.” Unexpected during the live take was how loud an ambulance being crushed is, “which is why Tom had to speak loudly to be heard over the booming noise of the crusher,” she says. The ad was shot by Washington firm Putnam Partners, which specializes in Dem advertising. According to the AP, Northam has spent $1.2 million on TV, more than double Perriello’s $500,000.
Primary season: The other races While the Ralph Northam/Tom Perriello matchup is the closest horse race in the Old Dominion, there are actually other candidates on the June 13 primary ballot. The GOP is also nominating a gubernatorial candidate, and Ed Gillespie is the odds-on favorite. Six people—three from each party—are vying for the low-profile lieutenant governor job. Here’s a heads-up before you enter the voting booth.

and he harkens to the “unwavering support” he has from state Democrats. “Let’s let people look at our résumés and where we want to take Virginia,” he suggests. The differences between the two candidates, he says, are that he’s someone who can win statewide, as he did in 2013 “with more votes than anyone has ever gotten in an off-year election.” Says Northam, “We need someone who knows how to win in rural Virginia. We need someone with the backbone to lead the resistance.”

a cycle of poverty “that’s unprecedented in 25 America.” Even at the $28,000 living wage levels, a woman loses money if she has to pay for child care, he says. Both also support criminal justice reform, and note that cell phone theft in a state where a larceny of more than $200 is a felony sends too many minority offenders on a school-to-prison pipeline. Northam drew applause at The Haven when he said there are a lot of potential medical uses for marijuana and that he supports its decriminalization, as does Perriello. And both point to a looming 2021, when the voting district lines get drawn. “It’s imperative we have a Democratic governor,” says Northam. “It’s important to stop the gerrymandering.” He also points out the 111 vetoes McAuliffe signed for legislation from the GOPcontrolled General Assembly that, he says, discriminates against LGBTQ people, immigrants and women’s access to health care. “If we didn’t have a Democratic governor, we’d be like North Carolina,” says Northam. That state’s bathroom bill was bad for business and led to boycotts. When trying to entice companies to Virginia, Northam says one of the first questions he’s asked is whether Virginia is inclusive. And he wants to say, “We’re progressive, and we’re open for business.” Northam touts his experience in the legislature in a state where the governor gets one term. “You have four years and you’ve got to hit the ground running,” he says. And that’s where having good relationships in the General Assembly will pay off, he says. But Perriello maintains that generating excitement with new ideas is the way to keep a Democrat in the governor’s mansion. “By getting in this race, a lot more people are excited—a lot of people who don’t normally vote in off-year elections,” he says. “We have to give them a reason to be excited and provide a firewall against the hate and bigotry of Trump.” And he disputes a common Democratic practice of running a more moderate candidate as “disastrous, because between two Republicans, they’ll vote for the real Republican.” “The Democratic party is doing a lot of post-2016 posturing,” observes Charlottesville GOP head Erich Reimer. “This race is going to be a toss-up on whether they are more openly progressive or more centrist.” House Minority Leader David Toscano signed on with Northam more than a year ago, but he’s not dissing Perriello. “People support Ralph because he’s been running on the issues a long time,” says Toscano. “I like Tom because of his youthful energy, his enthusiasm and his support for progressive issues and the fact he did a great job as a congressman.” What Toscano likes is that the race is not a choice between “the lesser of two evils.” He thinks the primary will make whoever wins a better Dem candidate in the fall when he will likely face the GOP’s Ed Gillespie, but in May, the primary race is “really unpredictable and comes down to the last few weeks.” Perriello demonstrates a knack for channeling the enthusiasm of people galvanized by the election of Trump who have been calling their congressman or attending marches and protests since the election— and for putting it into the big picture. “I believe this isn’t just about the governor’s race,” says Perriello. “It’s a chance to redefine the political landscape for a generation.”

Hinting at Molina’s contradictions is the cover of Halo, which finds her face, sans nose and mouth, morphed into something resembling a craggy planarian; it’s funny, but unsettling.
Penguin Café
Straight outta Evanston, Illinois, Kweku Collins was raised by Stephan Collins, a world music percussionist who must be pleased at Kweku’s rising repute. (I wonder what he thinks of Kweku’s occasional slips into Jamaican patois—they bug me, but maybe I should lighten up.) In 2015, just out of high school, Collins released his debut EP, following it up last spring with the acclaimed, self-produced Nat Love, which put him firmly on the Chicago area map alongside Chance, Chief Keef and Joey Purp. A mostly downtempo collection, Nat Love referenced D’Angelo and Frank Ocean, whose navel-gazing predilections come through again on grey, Collins’ aptly titled latest. No tempo rises above comfortable head-nodding; the mood is weary but abiding. Collins’ music beds are appealing, as is Collins’ voice, although he relies on a pretty limited set of gestures. There aren’t melodies to speak of, as Collins often stays on one note before plunging down an interval. It gets repetitive, but guests are well-utilized, like the more authoritative Kipp Stone who comes along to mix things up on the groggy “Things I Know.”—Nick Rubin
The Imperfect Sea (Erased Tapes) Recently I asked a frighteningly hip friend what he was listening to, and his answer floored me: “a lot of New Age.” I figured this label—which in the ’80s signified flagrantly pretty instrumental music for organic restaurants—might apply to something else now, but indeed, he meant the classics: “Shadowfax, William Ackerman, that Windham Hill stuff.” Simon Jeffes’ Penguin Café Orchestra typified another branch of New Age, eschewing chimes and flutes for Philip-Glass-meetsEno minimalism. Before Jeffes died in 1997, he left behind the timeless crowd-pleaser “Perpetuum Mobile.” In 2009, Jeffes’ son Arthur revived the brand as Penguin Café, producing passable ersatz PCO. The Imperfect Sea has grand moments—“Ricercar” and “Protection” are fully developed and pulse with life. But other songs drift in waiting mode. No amount of sonic window dressing can hide the stultifying monotony of “Cantorum,” while the PCO cover “Now Nothing (Rock Music)” sounds more like a George Winston homage, and not much of one. A

Starting with her enchanting Segundo album, Juana Molina has cultivated such an indelible style that it might seem confusing if she deviated. Her music comprises repetitive acoustic guitar patterns, wavery keyboard tones, rubbery bass figures and rhythm tracks from homemade sources like hand claps and ticking clocks—and then, there’s Molina’s voice. She’s simultaneously childlike and gentle, but totally self-possessed. Hinting at her contradictions is the cover of Halo, which finds her face, sans nose and mouth, morphed into something resembling a craggy planarian; it’s funny, but unsettling. Halo doesn’t deviate from her previous pathways, and fans will smile at the 7/8 meter of “Cosoco,” lopsided rhythms being another salient Molina feature. There’s more electric guitar and snare on Halo, and the drum tattoo gets to be a bit much on “Estalacticas.” Molina’s strong suit isn’t such bombast, it’s the gorgeous
cover of Kraftwerk’s “Franz Schubert” makes sense, but feels complacent. Reverence seems apt, but some of the elder Jeffes’ nerdy whimsy wouldn’t hurt, either.

mellotron string passages on the opening “Paraguaya”; the calmly percolating soundscape of “Cara de espejo”; the interlocking layers of “A00 B01”; the amorphous dreaminess of “Lentísimo halo.” Halo is full of kinks that might seem merely quirky, but cohere into a distinctive and still-enchanting idiom.

O
n a warm Monday evening, the four members of Breakers sit comfortably on wicker couches under a covered porch in Belmont. In the glow of multicolored Christmas lights, they share beers and take turns snuggling Batman, drummer Vicente Arroyo’s dog, clad in a red, yellow and green collar, in their post-practice ritual. It’s where they make recordings of ideas on their phones and reflect on what they accomplished that evening—“Was that what we were going for with the chorus there? It’s not quite right; let’s do it again next week.” It’s also where they often lament the decline of longform listening and, as they did on this particular Monday evening, question whether they’re putting enough effort into promoting their music on social media. (They decide they’d rather put the time into the music.) Each member has a different musical background, and Breakers’ rock sound, somewhat unusual on the Charlottesville music scene, reflects that. Arroyo grew up listening almost exclusively to Mexican music. When he was a kid, he longed to be in his dad’s Mexican band; he’d hang out when they practiced and hop on the drum kit once they were done. When he was 12, the band’s drummer left and Arroyo took his spot. It wasn’t until he was in high school and hanging out at the Music Resource Center that Arroyo started listening to American rock bands. Guitarist Vince Tarrance is into metal. “The heavier I can find, the better,” he says. When he was 13, his dad played him some Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, and Tarrance was determined to learn the guitar parts. He remembers playing obsessively, “a good five to eight hours a day” at first, really drilling into what Randy Rhoads was playing on guitar for Ozzy Osbourne. Bassist Matt Sorrentino started playing in middle school, mostly because a friend told him, “Dude, you have big hands; you should play bass.” Initially, he loved the weird technicality of bands like Dream Theater and Primus, but once he started playing upright bass and seriously studying music at James Madison University, his taste expanded to include orchestral and jazz. Lucas Brown has played music since he was in elementary school; he remembers playing Ray Charles’ “What’d I Say” and the Indiana Jones theme song on his mom’s piano at home. He got really into Green Day in middle school and took up the guitar. After playing in bands in high school, he studied music at New York University, where he discovered Bach and The Strokes at the same time. “Once I started learning how music is put together and started listening to music [with that in mind],” everything changed, says Brown.
Breakers plays a record release show for In Search of An Exit, which is loosely inspired by an episode of “The Twilight Zone.”
Brown wrote “about 99 percent” of the songs on the band’s new record, In Search of An Exit, “which is cool, because it’s a lot of different feels and genres coming out of one person’s head,” says Tarrance. They recorded the album with Mike Moxham at the Music Resource Center (where Brown also works), and friend Phil Joly mastered the tracks at a well-known New York City recording studio (they can’t say which one). In Search of An Exit is loosely inspired by “Five Characters in Search of An Exit,” the 14th episode of season three of “The Twilight Zone.” “Clown, hobo, ballet dancer, bagpiper and an Army major—a collection of question marks,” The Narrator, voiced by Rod Serling, explains at the episode’s start. “Five improbable entities stuck together into a pit of darkness. No logic, no reason, no explanation; just a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness and the unexplainable walk hand-in-hand through the shadows.” Spoiler alert: By the end of the episode, it’s revealed that the metal cylinder is a barrel to collect Christmas toys for orphaned children, and the five characters are dolls.
Local artist Adam Disbrow designed the album art for In Search of An Exit.
But Brown understood the characters as representing more than just figures in an alternate universe. He saw them as “ink and a pen—ideas not realized,” moving around inside the brain, trying to meet their potential. Brown started writing character-based songs inspired by the episode, and because each character is its own stereotype, he reduced those characterizations to feelings and emotions. Each song on In Search of An Exit expands upon one of those emotions—“Morning Tries” is about depression; “Wild Violet” is at least partly about love. Other tracks explore temptation, addiction, apathy, empathy and acceptance, among others, says Brown. It’s a concept album, but Breakers doesn’t want to fall into the trope of “we’re a multi-genre band with a concept album,” Brown says to a round of chuckling from his bandmates. The album tells the story of any given day and is meant to be listened to in full, though the band knows that’s not how most people engage with music nowadays. “The visual aspect has become the far greater sense that we [as a society] adhere to,” says Brown. “Really great music takes you away from all the other senses. I feel a little bit combative on this record towards that.” For now, Breakers hope that listeners will hop on its wavelength for the record’s 40-minute duration. Sorrentino says that some of the best moments of his life have been on stage, when the entire band “is synced up, moving totally and completely in the moment” together. “It’s a feeling that, once you feel it once, you chase it for the rest of your life.” Brown, Arroyo and Tarrance relax deeper into their spots and nod their heads in enthusiastic agreement. And if the audience is there with them, says Brown, removing his sunglasses as the sun disappears over the horizon, that’s even better.

out to the show, but we didn’t want to announce it online and make it into a big thing because we were still figuring out how the songs were going to work.” He explains that there are always alterations on songs when they’re played live: “The biggest thing is the way that Sam sings the songs changes drastically from when he demos the songs to when he’s in front of an audience, and based on what Sam does, that will influence how the drums interact with the vocals and have an effect on the way I’m playing the bass, just trying to give different emphasis to the dynamic of the song.” Cashion says that when they first played “Seasons (Waiting on You)” live, they quickly realized the chorus needed to be heavier.

uture Islands has come a long way since its first show in 2006 at an anti-Valentine’s Day party in Greenville, North Carolina. Now based in Baltimore, the indie synth-pop group—composed of frontman Samuel T. Herring, bassist/guitarist William Cashion and keyboardist Gerrit Welmers—has busied itself touring the world and selling out countless gigs, including a show at the Jefferson on Tuesday. Cashion says the band’s growth was gradual before a performance of “Seasons (Waiting on You)” on the “Late Show with David Letterman” in March 2014, which made Future Islands a YouTube sensation. The rest is history. The band’s fifth album, The Far Field, was released in April and is a follow-up to 2014’s successful Singles. Some of the tracks emerged during a winter trip to NC’s Outer Banks, while others were written in Baltimore and then recorded in Los Angeles. Prior to hitting the road with the new album, the group played a series of secret shows, linking up with North Carolina-based act Jenny Besetzt for opening sets under fake names such as The Hidden Haven, This Old House and Chirping Bush. “We just wanted to be able to play all the new songs without any expectations that we were going to play old material,” says Cashion. “We went to places that we knew friends would find out by word-of-mouth and come
For nearly all of the unanounced shows, Future Islands’ cover was blown by folks who knew the band. Cashion believes the best-kept secret gig was held in Arlington, Virginia, at a small bar called Galaxy Hut, where they played in front of only 50 to 60 people who offered feedback between songs. At another show in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, the band’s debut performance of the single “Cave” was so embraced that the audience was singing along by the end. “That gave us more confidence and revealed the strength of the song that we didn’t necessarily know,” says Cashion. The group looked to its sophomore effort, In Evening Air, for eliciting a deeper raw energy feel on The Far Field. Both album titles reference work by poet Theodore Roethke, who has been an inspiration for Herring lyrically, and the two album covers were designed by the same artist, Kymia Nawabi, who played keyboards and tambourine with Future Islands in its early days. Thematically, The Far Field takes several twists and turns. To the band, it feels like an album that’s best experienced while driving. “It really lends itself to a long road trip. A lot of it is reflecting on our history as a band,” says Cashion. “When we play our song ‘Ran’ now, Sam says it’s a song of a thousand shows. He’s referencing how just a year and a half ago we played our thousandth show down in North Carolina. We’re starting to write songs about writing songs, and we’re referencing ourselves and our own experiences as a band and the hardships of it.”

harlottesville native Henry Hoke remembers writing stories and poems while a student at Venable Elementary. “I think I always made things up,” he says. “I always came from places of imagination.” He left the city at age 18 to study film at NYU. After living in the world of film, first in New York and then in his current home of Los Angeles, where he writes and teaches, Hoke says, “I found my way back to literary writing.” This month marks the release of his second book, Genevieves, a collection of short stories, just in time for his return to his hometown to teach writing at UVA’s Young Writers Workshop this summer. The funny thing, he says, about moving away from film is that “in getting away from it, it became very central to my work.” One of the stories, “Genevieve Exists,” is told entirely through a movie production assistant’s notes on a script, a job Hoke once held. Another, “Wilmington,” is simply a narrative in dialogue, the conversation between two parents on a train stopped at the site of an accident. “The Host in the Dark of the Crowd” follows a character who finds his state of mind being reflected back to him in a film, as he prepares to leave an indifferent city. The stories are strange and beautiful, with surprising elements that begin at the micro-level of language as the narrative unfolds. Sometimes this has a humorous effect, as in the beginning of “Wentz”: “No mother should ever have to bury her chicken.” (Yes, chicken.) But there is an underlying melancholy when the joke is revealed to be no joke at all, like in “Surprise Island” when competition between children has dire consequences. In “MoNa,” what seems surreal becomes real within the story when a weapon of mass destruction evades control by humans. Hoke considered the elements of ghost stories when writing this collection. “When there’s something haunted that anchors a story, it doesn’t have to fill in the plot too much,” he says. “It can remain mysterious. A short story can do that. It can be something fleeting and direct.”
The surreal quality of his work flows from the source. “Largely my inspirations for these stories were very personal and dream-based,” says Hoke. “Especially the idea of Genevieve. The name has always been important to me and I always dream that name. Many of these stories were both dreams and ideas for movies,” he says. And within that dream world exists Hoke’s female alter-ego. He describes his debut, The Book of Endless Sleepovers, released last October, as “much more rooted in my poetic memories of the boyhood world.” And, because he was writing his first two books at the same time, he says, “the female energy of my inspiration went to Genevieves.” Some of the stories in his second book don’t have any gender signifiers, but when they are present, they’re female. He also explores “gender queerness and non-binary figures throughout. That sort of became a rooting part of the expression of this book,” he says. “There’s so much pressure to anchor people in signifiers that they’re used to and expect.” But he chalks that up to marketing and is comfortable allowing the reader enough room to ask questions. His current work-in-progress is a novel centered on undergraduate film students in New York, though still written in his distinct surrealist style. “I made a rule that the book after that (which is about a father and two sons in Europe) is not going to mention movies at all,” Hoke says with a laugh.

Mission aborted Alien: Covenant fails to perpetuate the franchise By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com
20TH CENTURY FOX
W
Lacking in atmosphere and intrigue, Alien: Covenant is an unwelcome departure in Ridley Scott’s popular action series.
upgraded model after humans found David’s behavior disturbing. He was the best part of Prometheus—or at least the most consistent —and so it is in Alien: Covenant. As different versions of the same creation, he represents two of mankind’s most irreconcilable traits: the desire to create and the need for stability. David is driven to tears by the creation of something truly new, whether it is the music of Wagner, the poetry of Shelley or the fusion of two species that results from the xenomorph’s reproductive process. The revelation of what David has been doing on this planet all these years is perhaps the strongest moment of Covenant, full of the drippy, phobic horror that is worthy of the name Alien. Yes, the iconic beast makes its return here, a strange decision considering the majority of the film has little in common with the
original series. The prequel series strives to be philosophical and sophisticated, a commentary on our paradoxical nature rather than our survival instinct. The xenomorph in this film has more human attributes than before, an excellent design choice that is used effectively only once in a scene between it and David. Before long, it is just another space monster that could have been in any movie at all. Even the planet they’re stranded on is just a lot of trees rather than the allure of the desert in Prometheus. There is a well-designed abandoned alien city, but nothing is made of it emotionally, and even less is explained narratively. The best aspects of Covenant focus on the interplay between David and Walter, one designed to serve humanity and the other intent on transcending it. Their scenes to-
gether (which are in fact Fassbender acting against himself) ought to have been the main focus. The rest of the talented supporting cast, which includes Danny McBride, Carmen
Alien: Covenant R, 123 minutes Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX, Violet Crown Cinema
Ejogo, Demián Bichir and James Franco (momentarily), plays instantly forgettable characters whose deaths are more memorable than anything else. Scott clearly still has a lot of ideas, energy and enthusiasm for this prequel series, yet the hope for future installments is bleak when the first film lost its way and the second never found it.

hen a movie crash lands due to its own misguidedness, the common question is, “What were the filmmakers thinking?” In the case of Alien: Covenant, we know exactly what Ridley Scott was thinking because he won’t stop broadcasting the film’s metaphors or applauding the foreshadowing long enough to let it tell a worthwhile story. If you were hoping that the sequel to Prometheus would further explore the mystery of humanity’s extraterrestrial creators while toning down the frustrating and pointless ambiguity of Damon Lindelof ’s script, you’re in for a disappointment. Alien: Covenant is all of the frustration of Prometheus with none of the atmosphere or intrigue. Abandoning the pretension of Prometheus, which swore up and down it was not a prequel to the Alien films, Alien: Covenant picks up after the events of its predecessor, as the colony ship Covenant heads to a new planet to establish human civilization. An unpredictable incident wakes the crew and kills the captain in his stasis pod, leaving First Mate Christopher Oram (Billy Crudup) in charge of a crew that does not trust him or understand his “faith” (which is left vague). While repairing the ship, the crew intercepts a strange message of human origin from a planet well-suited for human life, which they can explore with only a slight detour. Oram decides to investigate against the wishes of his second-in-command Dany Branson (Katherine Waterston), and before long, they uncover a horrific truth about what might have been their new home. Michael Fassbender stars in two roles, David from the previous film and Walter, an

Why chefs indulge at Riverside Lunch By C. Simon Davidson eatdrink@c-ville.com
W
Matt Greene, chef, butcher and co-owner of JM Stock Provisions, says Riverside Lunch is “everything I want in a restaurant.”
is just the way it’s always been done. But, from a culinary perspective, it works wonders by exposing maximal surface area to the grill, enhancing the Maillard reaction (think: crispy caramelization) and creating more flavor. “It’s the perfect burger,” says Greene. Though many stick to burgers, there’s other good stuff on Riverside’s menu. Mendosa swears by the BLT, which he calls “the best in town.” And the cheesesteak, fried pickles and fried mushrooms are all worthy of your favorite bar. Shifflett also touts made-from-scratch soups offered in cooler weather, particularly vegetable and bean. But, in the end, it’s the outstanding burgers that have kept people coming back for more than 80 years. Greatness is rare in any medium. Well done, Riverside. C. Simon Davidson also writes the restaurant blog, charlottesville29.com.

Loren Mendosa. “Riverside reminds me of burgers with my dad.” Riverside’s origin in an earlier era is another reason Greene grants it an exception or, as he calls it, a “grandfather clause.” Just as we may forgive beloved grandparents of transgressions they do not perceive as wrong, so too Greene hesitates to judge a restaurant that began its stretch of sustained excellence nearly a century ago. The main reason so many chefs go to Riverside, though, is that it is so darned good. Greene and I have the exact same standard order: double cheeseburger “all the way,” which means with lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, onions and relish. Shifflett’s favorite is also a cheeseburger all the way, though these days he opts for just a single. For the burgers, Riverside cooks quarter-pound spheres of freshly ground beef. Next comes the restaurant’s signature move: flattening the spheres into thin patties directly on the grill. Shifflett says this
May 24 – 30, 2017 c-ville.com
hy do so many chefs love Riverside Lunch? Don’t get me wrong—I love it too. Few things hit the spot like a Riverside burger. But this is the era of local food, where chefs preach the gospel of local sourcing and other responsible food practices. Yet they regularly allow themselves to “cheat” at Riverside. Take Matt Greene, chef, butcher and coowner of JM Stock Provisions, a shop whose guiding principles, he says, are firm and unwavering. “Everything we source comes locally,” says Greene, “completely pastureraised, grass-finished beef, and entirely from farmers with whom we have a very close and personal relationship.” This is a way of life for Greene, a father of two who is careful about how he feeds his family. “We believe it’s the right thing to do,” he says. While he and his wife allow greater flexibility at home, “Riverside is the only exception for which we will go out of our way,” says Greene. “It’s everything I want in a restaurant.” Over burgers at Riverside, Greene explains why it earns an exception. The biggest reason, he says, is consistency, both in food and service. As a business owner, Greene has learned how important—and difficult— consistency can be. “I am in awe of what Riverside has been able to accomplish,” Greene says. Not only do they produce the exact product every day, he says, but they also provide the same great service, feeling and atmosphere. “There are probably two dozen restaurants on the planet that can boast that kind of consistency,” says Greene, “and one of
them is Riverside Lunch in Charlottesville, Virginia.” “It’s always the same,” agrees Timbercreek Market chef Tucker Yoder—from the greasy burger to the friendly, attentive service. “These things can’t be said about the socalled ‘best’ restaurants in town.” Riverside’s consistency is by design. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” explains owner Carroll Shifflett, who bought Riverside in 2007, but didn’t change a thing. Founded in 1935, Riverside has never wavered from its ways or bended to trends like the local food movement. It has even used the same gas flat-top for decades, which survived a fire in 2000 at the restaurant’s former location before being moved to its current site on Hazel Street. “That’s the seasoning!” Shifflett says of the grill. Every morning Riverside calls the butcher at Reid Super-Save Market to place the day’s beef order. Reid’s butchers then grind the requested amount in an 80/20 lean-tofat blend of chuck, round and sirloin. One butcher, now 82, says it has been this way since before he started at Reid’s in 1968. At 71, Shifflett still can recall the first Riverside burger his father bought him, in 1958. To this day, the taste of the burgers takes him back. Area chefs relive similar childhood memories at Riverside. “What makes Riverside the exception to the local sustainable movement is the nostalgia,” says Lampo’s

For whiskey fans who have dreamed about having their own cask, Virginia Distillery Company’s Cask Society membership can make that dream a reality. The Cask Society, a partnership between the local distillery and the Washington, D.C., wine and spirits shop Schneider’s of Capitol Hill, allows members to purchase and customize a cask of Virginia Distillery Company whiskey. Customizable options include cask type (ex-bourbon, treated wine, sherry), bottling proof (standard 92-proof or cask proof) and aging time (anywhere from four to 10 years). According to the Virginia Distillery Company website, the private barrel is “guaranteed to yield 250 750ml bottles at the conclusion of the aging period.” Once cask contents have been bottled, owners can either pick up their custom single malt whiskey at Schneider’s or have it shipped to them (depending on state laws and regulations).

Now the owner of Arley Cakes is taking her sweet skills to Richmond to win them over, too. Her move is spurred by readiness for a change, for “a bigger city with a diversity of people and things happening,” says Arrington. “I’m looking forward to seeing how my dreams and passions get to take shape in a new place.” In Richmond, she plans to take a break from the Arley Cakes hustle to work for someone else and “have a chance to breathe, reflect and reboot using all that I’ve learned over the last year of running a business.” Arrington says that while she’s excited for the move, she’s “definitely bittersweet about leaving Charlottesville.” But Arley Cakes isn’t gone for good. “I’ll definitely full-fledged pick up Arley Cakes again, it’s just a matter of time,” she says. And she’ll continue her monthly cookie subscription service through her website, arleycakes.com, and fulfill wedding orders until the end of this year.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
Cancer
Gemini
(June 21-July 22): In your mind’s eye, drift back in time to a turning point in your past that didn’t go the way you’d hoped. But don’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, change the memory. Visualize yourself then and there, but imagine you’re in possession of all the wisdom you have gathered since then. Next, picture an alternative ending to the old story—a finale in which you manage to pull off a much better result. Bask in this transformed state of mind for five minutes. Repeat the whole exercise at least once a day for the next two weeks. It will generate good medicine that will produce a creative breakthrough no later than mid-June.
(May 21-June 20): “Generation Kill” is an HBO miniseries based on the experiences of a reporter embedded with American Marines fighting in Iraq. Early on, before the troops have been exposed to any serious combat, they’re overflowing with trash talk. A commanding officer scolds them: “Gentlemen, from now on we’re going to have to earn our stories.” Although you are in a much less volatile situation right now, Gemini, my advice to you is the same: In the coming weeks, you’ll have to earn your stories. You can’t afford to talk big unless you’re geared up to act big, too. You shouldn’t make promises and entertain dares and issue challenges unless you’re fully prepared to be a hero. Now here’s my prophecy: I think you will be a hero.
during the next 28 days. It would also be balm for your primal worries and medicine for your outworn dogmas and an antidote for your comfortable illusions. Do you have the time and money necessary to make a pilgrimage to a place you regard as holy? How about a jaunt to a rousing sanctuary? Or an excursion to an exotic refuge that will shock you in friendly, healing ways? I hope that you will at least read a book about the territory that you may one day call your home away from home.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re being invited to boost your commitment to life and become a more vivid version of yourself. If you refuse the invitation, it will later return as a challenge. If you avoid that challenge, it will eventually circle back around to you as a demand. So I encourage you to respond now, while it’s still an invitation. To gather the information you’ll need, ask yourself these questions: What types of self-development are you “saving for later”? Are you harboring any mediocre goals or desires that dampen your lust for life? Do you tone down or hold back your ambitions for fear they would hurt or offend people you care about?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By now I’m sure you have tuned in to the rumblings in your deep self. Should you be concerned? Maybe a little, but I think the more reasonable attitude is curiosity. Even though the shaking is getting stronger and louder, it’s also becoming more melodic. The power that’s being unleashed will almost certainly turn out to be far more curative than destructive. The light it emits may at first look murky but will eventually bloom like a thousand moons. Maintain your sweet poise. Keep the graceful faith.
Virgo
May 24 – 30, 2017 c-ville.com
facebook.com/cville.weekly
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear Dream Doctor: I dreamed that a crowd of people had decided to break through a locked door using a long, thick wooden plank as a battering ram. The only problem was, I was lying on top of the plank, half-asleep. By the time I realized what was up, the agitated crowd was already at work smashing at the door. Luckily for me, it went well. The door got bashed in and I wasn’t hurt. What does my dream mean?— Nervous Virgo.” Dear Virgo: Here’s my interpretation: It’s time to knock down a barrier, but you’re not convinced you’re ready or can do it all by yourself. Luckily, there are forces in your life that are conspiring to help make sure you do it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Life is inviting you to decode riddles about togetherness that could boost your emotional intelligence and earn you the right to enjoy lyrical new expressions of intimacy. Will you accept the invitation? Are you willing to transcend your habitual responses for the sake of your growth-inducing relationships? Are you interested in developing a greater capacity for collaboration and synergy? Would you be open to making a vulnerable fool of yourself if it helped your important alliances to fulfill their dormant potential? Be brave and empathetic, Sagittarius. Be creative and humble and affectionate.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As long as you keep Syria, South Sudan and North Korea off your itinerary, traveling would be food for your soul

transform a room
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “In youth we feel richer for every new illusion,” wrote author Anne Sophie Swetchine. “In maturer years, for every one we lose.” While that may be generally true, I think that even 20something Capricorns are likely to fall into the latter category in the coming weeks. Whatever your age, I foresee you shouting something akin to “Hallelujah!” or “Thank God!” or “Boomshakalaka flashbang!” as you purge disempowering fantasies that have kept you in bondage, and naive beliefs that have led you astray.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There are no green thumbs or black thumbs,” wrote horticulturist Henry Mitchell in a message you were destined to hear at this exact moment. “There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way.’ You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.” Happy defiance time to you, Aquarius! In the coming weeks, I hope you will express the most determined and disciplined fertility ever!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): I believe it may be the right time to tinker with or repair a foundation; to dig down to the bottom of an old resource and consider transforming it at its roots. Why? After all this time, that foundation or resource needs your fresh attention. It could be lacking a nutrient that has gradually disappeared. Maybe it would flourish better

if it got the benefit of the wisdom you have gained since it first became useful for you. Only you have the power to discern the real reasons, Pisces—and they may not be immediately apparent. Be tender and patient and candid as you explore.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Sin is a puerile concept in my eyes, so I don’t normally use it to discuss grown-up concerns. But if you give me permission to invoke it in a jokey, ironic way, I’ll recommend that you cultivate more surprising, interesting and original sins. In other words, Aries, it’s high time to get bored with your predictable ways of stirring up a ruckus. Ask God or Life to bring you some really evocative mischief that will show you what you’ve been missing and lead you to your next robust learning experience.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Attention, smart shoppers! Here’s a special spring fling offer. For a limited time only, you can get five cutesy oracles for the price of one. And you don’t have to pay a penny unless they all come true. Check ’em out! Oracle No. 1: Should you wait patiently until all the conditions are absolutely perfect? No! Success comes from loving the mess. Oracle No. 2: Don’t try to stop a sideshow you’re opposed to. Stage a bigger, better show that overwhelms it. Oracle No. 3: Please, master, don’t be a slave to the things you control. Oracle No. 4: Unto your own self be true? Yes! Unto your own hype be true? No! Oracle No. 5: The tortoise will beat the hare as long as the tortoise doesn’t envy or try to emulate the hare.
