Our area is known for its myriad opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, whether your activity of choice is on land, water or in the air. And no matter if you’re a novice or a seasoned veteran looking to continually challenge yourself, there is something for everyone. In our Outdoors Issue, you’ll learn about eight professions, all centered around enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer, and what they entail (p. 22). For the professionals who do these jobs, which include trails maintenance, Monticello’s head of grounds and even skydiving, no two days are alike. You’ll also learn about ways you can enjoy getting outside and becoming one with nature. And if nature isn’t your thing, but you still want to connect (somewhat) with the outside world, mark your calendar for June 2, the date of the next First Fridays gallery event (p. 52). New exhibits include the #BlackOwnedCville photography exhibit with an accompanying video, plein air paintings, sculptures, illustrations and much more. And nothing screams outside in our area more than our local wineries. In this month’s Working Pour column (p. 59), you’ll meet Dr. Konstantin Frank, the man we can all thank for the East Coast wine boom. Cheers to that.—Jessica Luck

Berry good! If the crowd at City Market on Saturday, May 27, was any indication, one of the best things about Charlottesville in the springtime is freshly picked peas, asparagus, beets, beans—and strawberries. Not to mention the selections of meat, cheese, baked goods, plants and crafts, as well as music and cooking demonstrations, which City Market Manager Justin McKenzie says are more plentiful this year. You’ll also find “seasonal recipes from Market Central and New Roots, and exhibits featuring glass blowing, mushroom growing and kimchi making,” he says when asked about what’s available from more than 100 local vendors. According to McKenzie, the market averages about 5,000 visitors every weekend, but on April 15, opening day, “we had our best sales day ever, with over 7,000 [shoppers].” City Market is held every Saturday through December, from 7am-noon, at the corner of Water and South streets.

—The anonymous Cville Solidarity in a May 24 press release on resisting violent white supremacism in Charlottesville
IN BRIEF
From racetrack to subdivision?
Court documents in the neighbors’ suit against Foxfield Racing Association showed plans to split the primo Garth Road property into 17 lots called Hermit’s Thrush, and another plan that would develop some of the 184-acre property and keep the track, according to Charlottesville Tomorrow.
5th District candidate Attorney/Charlottesvillian Andrew Sneathern got a jump on the 2018 congressional race and announced a run May 30 for the Democratic nomination, presumably to challenge Tom Garrett.

Students will attend Red Hill or Scottsville elementaries.

Earlier this month Governor Terry McAuliffe signed an executive action that will significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions from state fossil fuel power plants. Executive Directive 11 instructs the Department of Environmental Quality to establish regulations to cap carbon emissions. Only a handful of states have attempted this—it’s kind of a big deal. Mike Tidwell, the executive director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, says the directive “is precisely what environmental advocates have been asking the governor to do for more than two years now. With President Trump dismantling climate policies nationally, it’s reassuring that Governor McAuliffe has at last responded in a powerful way.” Noting the governor’s “decidedly mixed environmental legacy” in a Washington Post op-ed May 21, Tidwell also said this new action will improve the failing report card grade that CCAN assigned to McAuliffe last year. Here’s how the environmental cheerleaders say he’s doing so far:

Tactical change By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

At the May 14 candlelight demonstration in Robert E. Lee Park, right-wing activist Jason Kessler was arrested for disorderly conduct for refusing to leave the park and inciting with a bullhorn. Kessler says protestors blocked him from leaving.
For Champion owner Hunter Smith, Kessler’s civil rights “didn’t cross my mind for a minute,” he says. “He assaulted someone who works for the business. It was a safety issue.” Jay Taylor, the man whom Kessler punched on the mall January 22, frequents the brewery and does work there, says Smith. However, in the face of demands that service be denied, Miller’s is taking a different tack after some white nationalists came there for beers following the tiki-torch assembly at Lee Park. Miller’s Scottie Kaylor calls for courtesy on Facebook and writes: “Our policy is simple: if any person or group, on either side of the political spectrum, displays an overt hatred or disrespect for others at Miller’s, they will be asked to leave.” Arrests from protests are mounting. After the February 11 Lee Park rally that brought gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart to town to protest City Council’s vote to re-
move the Robert E. Lee statue, Kessler filed charges against Sara Tansey for snatching his phone. She was charged with destruction of property and Tansey filed an assault charge against Joe Draego, claiming he grabbed her arm when he retrieved Kessler’s phone. At the May 14 candlelight demonstration at Lee Park, Jordan McNeish was charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly spitting on Kessler, Charles Best was charged with felony assault for hitting an officer in the head with a thrown cell phone, and Kessler was charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to leave the park and inciting with a bullhorn, say police. “Police said I wouldn’t leave the park,” says Kessler. Protesters “wouldn’t let me leave. They were blocking me. They encircled me so that I was trapped.” “Jason Kessler barged into a peaceful space that had been created by people of color with

n images from the civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s, AfricanAmericans in their Sunday best peacefully protested, and when violence occurred, it came from police or from virulent racists. Those are not the optics of today’s demonstrations. Instead, protesters knock cell phones out of people’s hands, blast them with bullhorns, block filming with hands or hats and link arms to prevent passage—and that was just at the May 14 vigil in Lee Park after the Richard Spencer white nationalist crew was there the night before. And a video circulating from May 20 shows right-wing blogger Jason Kessler with three other people sitting at a restaurant table on the Downtown Mall, surrounded by a dozen or so people shouting, “Nazis go home” and ordering them to leave. “You don’t get to dictate who comes in or out,” said a police officer responding to the scene. “White supremacists should not be allowed to move quietly in public spaces,” says Pam Starsia with Showing Up for Racial Justice, which has been active in confronting Confederate memorial supporters and the alt-right—although Starsia says she’s speaking only for herself, not for SURJ. In sharp contrast to the 1920s, when members of the Ku Klux Klan met secretly in the dark wearing white hoods, yet passed by day in polite society, she says, the strategy now is to disrupt and “to loudly call out white supremacists in public spaces.” And yet some local activists’ tactics straddle the line between free speech and criminal behavior. “It’s very disturbing,” says Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Chapman. The heated rhetoric leads “to an atmosphere of antagonism,” which leads to escalation.
“We should all discourage behavior that stops short of criminal offenses.” In his more than 30 years as a prosecutor, Chapman has seen a number of protests. The difference in the current crop is “the intensity and the physical confrontation accompanying it,” he says, as well as the participation of people from outside the community. UVA professor and activist Jalane Schmidt explains the trajectory of protest tactics since the 1950s, when Martin Luther King Jr. organized a movement of “respectability politics” and was influenced by Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau’s nonviolent resistance. That changed in the 1960s and ’70s with the Black Panthers, who wore military garb and “eschewed respectability politics,” she says. “The tactics always change with time.” She says, “The 21st century descendants of the Klan are the alt-right. They should not be allowed to circulate anonymously in polite society.” A May 24 press release from the anonymous Cville Solidarity suggested a laundry list of ways to resist white supremacy. “Refuse to employ, work with, serve or shop with Nazis. Refuse to sit next to them at a bar or restaurant. Refuse to let them sit peacefully in a public space,” it said. “There’s a harassment and intimidation campaign being led by Joe and Pam Starsia,” Kessler says. Joe Starsia was in the video of the mall shouters, and activist Veronica Fitzhugh can be seen yelling in Kessler’s face, “Fucking go home. Get up and go home.” Earlier that night, Kessler said he went to Champion Brewery and was refused service. “They violated my civil rights,” he says. Can businesses deny service to those whose politics or philosophy they don’t like? “Beliefs and philosophies are protected constitutionally against actions by government,” John Jeffries, former dean of UVA’s law school, writes in an email. “Private parties are free to act against unwelcome beliefs and philosophies, unless there is a statute against such discrimination.”

every intention of inciting a confrontation,” says Pam Starsia. “He was the aggressor.” In video and photographs from the May 14 event, a young man filming is encircled by people who are asking why he was filming, blocking his camera and, he says on the video, knocking his cell phone out of his hand. Blocking people filming is a tactic that comes from a practice called “doxxing,” says Starsia, in which leftist activists are filmed and their images are put online to “encourage harassment.” “It’s a mob tactic used online by the left and the right,” says Kessler. Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead compares current protests to ’60s sitins, where demonstrators “didn’t stop someone from free speech,” he says. “The more I read about it, these people don’t want free speech,” he says. “You can’t block other people’s right to move on public property. These people need to grow up and respect other people’s rights.”

Slapping away a person’s cell phone: “Unwanted touching in an angry, rude or vengeful manner can constitute assault in Virginia,” says Chapman. Invading one’s personal space: While there’s no law against trespassing in personal space, close contact and yelling in someone’s face could be disorderly conduct, says Chapman, escalating into allegations of being jostled. See unwanted touching above. Using a bullhorn in someone’s face: Could violate the noise ordinance, and doing it aggressively in someone’s face in a way that interferes with her free speech potentially could be disorderly conduct. Linking arms to prevent passage: If it’s restricting someone’s freedom and not letting them go, it could be abduction, says Chapman.
Locals say post office is not performing to the letter By Kayla Eanes reporter@c-ville.com
F
rom the Downtown Mall and beyond, some Charlottesville businesses and residents are concerned with their mail delivery—explicitly the lack thereof. A few have not received their mail until well into the evening, while others have gone days without any kind of postal service. Verdigris owner Mazi Vogler says her postal service is irregular when it comes to shipping packages. When she needs to ship a package the same day, she says her postal carrier often does not return to pick up the boxes. “I’m not even waiting for him,” Vogler says. “I’m running to the post office every day.” Alakazam Toys and Gifts owner Cassandra Mathis has also had issues with mail delivery to her Downtown Mall toy shop. She says the consistency of her postal service has been getting worse since her business’ regular carrier retired about a year ago. “Some days we don’t get any mail,” Mathis says. Those days, Mathis says, pose significant problems for sending of bills and financial mail. The longest period of time she has gone without postal service is two days. “It’s so unpredictable,” Mathis says. “I can’t rely on if the postal carrier is going to stop by.” And when a postal carrier does deliver mail to Mathis’ store, it’s not always the same person. Standing in contrast is a recent USPS commercial that communicates the company’s pride in its service to business owners, especially for e-commerce and online deliveries. The May 18 commercial emphasizes the important relationship between business owners and the USPS—a relationship with which Vogler and Mathis have been having a few trust issues. But not every business on the mall has complaints with its mail service. Joan Fenton, owner of J. Fenton Too and Quilts Unlimited, says her postal service is “awesome.”

Is it free speech or assault?
Express distress
Alakazam Toys and Gifts owner Cassandra Mathis calls her postal service “unpredictable,” leaving her unsure each day if a mail carrier will stop by her store.
She says the store’s heavy volume of packages for online delivery sometimes slows mail service, but her USPS carrier is very accommodating in picking up the large number of packages. Tension around mail service has even provoked rumors: One example is that the Southern Environmental Law Center had installed a camera to monitor its mail, although the center expressly denies this rumor and provides no complaints about its postal service. The hit-or-miss service extends beyond the Downtown Mall. Matt Murray, who lives on Wayside Place, says he recently did not receive any mail at his home for three days straight, nor did his neighbors, a situation he says has never occurred before. “It was one of those occasions when I was expecting something of importance, and I was wondering where it was,” Murray says. “It reminded me of how dependent we are upon a reliable postal service.” When Murray’s mail service did resume, he says his carriers told him they were com-
ing from outside of the area, from Troy to Bridgewater. “I heard through the grapevine that 16 mail carriers had quit,” Murray says. However, Freda Sauter, from USPS corporate communications, says, “There seems to be confusion and misinformation about staffing at the Charlottesville post office.” She says only one career letter carrier has recently retired, with two other employees currently out on requested leave. “We do have transitional employees and that fluctuates,” Sauter says. “Typically the Postal Service employs a smaller supplemental workforce in the summer, when mail volumes are lower, and larger temporary staffing during the fall, our busiest time of the year.” The Charlottesville post office currently lists openings for two part-time mail carriers on its website. Charlottesville USPS Officer-In-Charge Victoria Brinkley did not respond to C-VILLE’s request for comment.

1700 Allied St. near 250/ McIntire Rd. Interchange.
ndrea Wieder relies on the bus. Bus No. 4, which stops at the bottom of Highland Avenue, is the one the Fry’s Spring resident takes to Food Lion and CVS. For Harris Teeter’s Senior Discount Day every Thursday, she takes the same route, transfers to the No. 7 bus and checks out the offerings at Barracks Road Shopping Center. The free trolley shuttles her downtown, and she’ll also take that to the doctor at UVA if she doesn’t walk or ride the No. 10 bus line. “Timing can be tricky, but that’s life,” Wieder says, and adds it doesn’t take long to memorize a route. Some concerns with the bus, however, are out of her control. “There are frequent delays on the buses. It seems not a problem of the buses or the bus drivers, but the fact that around this town, there is so much construction going on, you can hardly turn a corner without running into cranes and extra congestion.” On a recent morning, Wieder invited Democratic City Council candidate Heather Hill to ride the No. 7 bus with her. “I wanted her to sit on the bus with me, see who was on the bus with me and see where the buses go,” she says. “I wanted her to hear that the system seems to have very low priority within the city. I don’t understand that, since it’s a tremendous link and a resource for many, many people.” On that day, the bus was so late Wieder called the Downtown Transit Station to inquire about the holdup. The person who answered the phone told her that construction equipment at the site across from C&O Restaurant—a slew of detached brownstones known as C&O Row—was causing a traffic jam.
“Why don’t they coordinate things like this?” Weider asks. “Why is it that every single bus in the city of Charlottesville— with the exception of [buses] 5 and 9— passes through the transit center on the same street at the same time?” Wieder met Hill when the candidate was canvassing the city for her campaign. By the end of May, Hill will have knocked on about 2,300 doors and spoken with at least 1,600 individuals. “While I am grateful for our public transportation infrastructure, there are clearly ways it can be improved, and I strongly feel evaluating the future state of this system needs to be done in partnership with the county and the university,” Hill says, noting that CAT has recently installed data collecting fareboxes, which will produce ridership and bus timeliness numbers. The City Council hopeful likes data, and by surveying neighborhoods door-to-door, she has deduced the top five concerns of the residents with whom she interacted. Overall, she says affordable housing is the No. 1 worry. Development, zoning and planning come next, with the viewpoint that current projects don’t address the community’s needs, erase green spaces and lack a long-term vision. The third concern was schools and education, followed by infrastructure and supporting multi-modal transportation. Voters are also worried about the allocation of the city’s resources. “My time speaking with neighbors throughout the city has highlighted the extent to which we are united on many priorities,” Hill says. “It has also made me aware that the issues we hear about in public settings are not always reflective of the things that matter most to the broader community.”
Andrea Wieder, who uses the bus as her primary source of transportation, says it should be more of a priority for city officials.

NEWS GETTING PERSONAL

ince 2003, Bree Luck has risen through the ranks at Live Arts—first as a volunteer, performing and directing, and then serving as education director. Most recently, Luck was the theater’s interim managing artistic director. This month, the Henry, Virginia, native—also a former Georgian, New Yorker and Californian—takes the helm as the theater’s producing artistic director, and will lead Live Arts’ artistic, operational, financial and administrative efforts. Among a teeming list of directives, one of Luck’s priorities is increasing diversity within the company. “One thing we need to do at Live Arts is make sure we’re not just telling stories about a couple of white people sitting around the dinner table,” she says. “And when we do choose to tell those stories, we need to be aware of the limitations that come with that choice—and even to explore alternate casting choices that might give a new spin to the story, when it feels relevant or compelling to do so.” Luck says she is inspired locally by Madeline Michel’s work recruiting and retaining minority artists at Monticello High School, and engaging them by selecting stories “that aren’t just white and male-centric,” such as Hairspray, In The Heights and Memphis. “I mean, that’s why we want to go to the theater, right?” Luck says. “Because we want to see stories that make us feel less alone in the world.” She also mentions color-blind casting, as in Hamilton, in which a director presumes that race and gender are not essential to the character. “We have an upcoming show, Pippin, which has a multi-ethnic cast, but the casting choices were not based on ethnicity and don’t change the tenor of the musical,” Luck says. Conversely, in Live Arts’ current production of Death of a Salesman, director

“I love film, too, but there’s a remove there. It’s not immediate. It’s not visceral and live. ...It’s cleaned up, and edited and polished. When you’re doing theater, it’s real human beings telling stories right here in the moment with all of the beauty and flaws that come with humanity.” She worked to teach the 200 inmates that at the heart of story is conflict, and to help them see that “sometimes the things that we think are most despicable or frustrating about ourselves are also the places we can find beauty.”

William Rough took the color-conscious casting approach and gave African-American men roles that have typically been played by white actors. Luck says a favorite undertaking outside of Live Arts has been her work as the director of The Voice Project, in which she helped inmates at a local women’s prison tell their stories, find healthy ways to deal with conflict, and connect with each other and the world around them. “Theater—it’s about real connection. The making of it and the watching of it,” she says.

While a court injunction currently prevents the statue of Robert E. Lee from being moved, the city is moving full speed ahead in changing the names of local parks honoring Confederate heroes. The Charlottesville Historic Resources Committee decided last week on four names for both Lee and Jackson parks to recommend to City Council ahead of its June 5 meeting. For Lee Park, the committee recommended Community Park, Central Park, Market Street Park and Festival Park. For Jackson Park, it suggested Court Square Park, Courthouse Park, The Commons and Memory Park. Most committee members agreed it was important to recommend names that had conceptual or geographical connotations rather than names referring to a single person or historical figure. Committee member Margaret O’Bryant, who also served on the Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials and Public Spaces, says names such as Community Park and Central Park “express a centrality of our community.” City Council received more than 2,000 suggestions through an online survey, and the highest number of respondents wanted to keep the parks’ current names. Committee member Dede Smith says any future survey effort would have to be formulated in a way to allow one vote per person, calling the City Council survey a “good idea” but “flawed.” “I don’t think we can put a lot of weight on what we actually saw,” Smith says. Committee member Edwina St. Rose called for a more “democratic” selection process, such as a referendum, which would be powered by Charlottesville residents. “I don’t understand this process,” she says. Charlottesville resident and UVA professor Jalane Schmidt also wanted public comment, and says she thought the suggestions offered at the meeting did not confront the history of each park. “The recommendation of the [Blue Ribbon Commission], which the City Council did affirm, was that these parks were to be transformed,” Schmidt says, “and the full history...of how these spaces bolstered white supremacy was supposed to be revealed.” But even with the renaming process moving forward, some, such as historian and Charlottesville resident Arthur Herman, say remembering the history of why the Confederate generals were commemorated in the first place is important. “The sense of duty, the sense of honor, the courage, the sacrifice that they and other Confederate soldiers and veterans who served were important virtues irrespective of the nature of the cause they served,” Herman says. “These men were not men who donned white sheets and marched with the KKK. These are not monuments dedicated to men like that.”—Kayla Eanes

Tree-care technician says you must be in the moment
From the time he entered the workforce, tree-care technician Taylor Crannis wanted to earn his living outside. Inspired by his mother, who was a science teacher in Charlottesville-area public schools, Crannis moved to Asheville, North Carolina, in his early 20s to work as an educator with a youth-oriented wilderness program. “My job was to take at-risk youth into the woods for a week at a time, introduce them to nature and teach them wilderness skills,” he says. “We’d do a lot of kayaking, canoeing, swimming, camping, hiking, identify trees and animals and insects, build campfires, that sort of thing.” And while ultimately the position was short-lived—working with that demographic took a psychological toll, he says—Crannis fell in love with pursuing a career that allowed him to spend most of his time outside. After a stint installing and maintaining ziplines and another foray into outdoor education, in 2014, the 30-year-old returned to his hometown and took what he thought would be a temporary job doing tree work. However, he quickly realized the gig was something he wanted to pursue. “I saw the ziplines had taught me about ropes and knots, and that my experience rock climbing prepared me to climb without fear,” he says. “I caught on really fast. I found it humbling and exhilarating to feel skilled at something people think of as highly dangerous; I loved showing up to a job that slows everything down to the basics.” In Crannis’ business, workers must be absolutely present. “You can’t not pay attention to what you’re doing,” he says. “Your livelihood and that of your crewmates depends upon your skill and focus. A single mistake can cost you your life.” If the Lorax spoke for the While the notion of climbing 90 feet trees in Dr. Seuss’ world, in the air and pruning tree limbs with a then the Charlottesville razor-sharp chainsaw might sound comArea Tree Stewards speak pletely insane, Crannis says he can’t get for the trees here.

So I view much of this work as giving back to the community and helping preserve a part of nature which, to me, is extremely important.” At the end of a hard work day, Crannis likes to reflect on the fact that, for him, a gym membership would be ridiculous. “I don’t have to go to the gym to stay in shape because I get paid to exercise in a balanced way,” he jokes. “And furthermore, my office is 80 or 90 feet off the ground with everchanging views of beautiful estates and properties. For me, that’s impossible to beat.”—Eric Wallace

Spelunking adventures keep UVA student coming back

Matthew McGill went on his first caving expedition as part of a Boy Scout trip. Now, the UVA second-year is leading groups to nearby grottoes.
COURTESY LURAY CAVERNS
Luray Caverns
The Shenandoah Valley is famous for caves such as Luray, Grand, Skyline, Natural Bridge and Endless Caverns but, unknown to most, the area is home to one of the densest concentrations of wild caves on the East Coast. This abundance has given rise to a community of tight-knit spelunking clubs, such as Charlottesville Grotto (cvillegrotto.org), many of which offer small-scale guided tours to the public. A list of some of the top caverns across the state can be found at virginia.org/caverns.—E.W.

Caving is in
May 31 – June 6, 2017 c-ville.com
Twenty-year-old caving enthusiast Matthew McGill was introduced to subterranean exploration at the age of 11 when he participated in a spelunking adventure sponsored by a local Boy Scout troop. “At the time of my first caving trip, I was really small and could fit into passages and spaces in the cave other people couldn’t,” he says. “When I realized that, I felt like it was possible for me to explore areas that no one else had ever stepped foot in or even seen before, which gave me a feeling of excitement, of real adventure.” Of course, McGill later recognized his initial sense of discovering something brand new was a childhood illusion. However, after learning about the Charlottesville branch of the National Speleological Society—that is, a local caving club—it struck him that, with a bit of professional help and training, that dream might be attainable after all. “About a year-and-a-half ago, I became a member of the Charlottesville Grotto in my quest to find a group of experienced and responsible cavers to go on trips with,” he says. “To go caving safely and legally, you need people that know the cave, can obtain the proper permissions to enter the cave and show you safety precautions and general best practices to follow while exploring.” According to McGill, joining a local NSS-affiliated grotto is the most direct route to meeting such folks. “I contacted them via email and then showed up at the first meeting,” he says. “Now, going into a completely unexplored area is a real possibility for me and that fosters the same kind of excitement I felt as a kid, which keeps me coming back for more. ...I mean, even if you don’t go somewhere totally new, whenever you go caving you enter a risky and strenuous environment that a lot of people are aware of but hardly anyone has encountered firsthand. So, I always have that sense of adventure when I go caving.” Since joining the club, the UVA second-year’s expeditions underground have become more frequent, with members leading at least one trip per month. But with increased participation has come increased responsibility—when he’s not helping to map new caves, monitor existing ones or dig out a sinkhole that might reveal a new cavern, McGill serves as a tour guide, leading people through narrow passages, navigating over pits and descending via ropes into new rooms. “Taking someone caving who’s never been before is fun, but can be a little nerve-racking,” he says with a laugh. “First and foremost, you want to make sure they stay safe, but you also want them to have a great time, because you want them to want to do it again afterwards. But even if someone finds caving isn’t for them, I’m happy if they leave the experience feeling proud of the fact they went through a cave successfully. And of course, if they wind up with some good memories of the cave itself, that’s the icing on the cake.” Toward making these good memories happen, McGill likes to plan a special meal in the cave for his groups of three to 10 people. “I love leading a tour and working up an appetite and eating lunch in the cave with just the light provided by a single candle,” he says. “A cave is such a weird place to eat a meal. I love it because it’s a time you get to just relax, quietly take in your surroundings and talk. You’d be surprised how bright that candle can be when your eyes are adjusted to complete darkness.”—E.W.

Stacey Metheny’s daughter, Hannaha, who was born with cerebral palsy, Turner syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, couldn’t walk or talk and needed constant care—care that required equipment powered by electricity. When Hannaha passed away five years ago at the age of 14, Metheny said she was left with a hole in her heart, and her usual work, training and caring for horses, wasn’t filling that emotional void. She was going back to school when her daughter died, and had thought about becoming a nurse because she was looking for a profession in which she could care for people like she did her daughter. But when she came across an online job posting for a Dominion groundsperson, she thought back to how important electricity was to her family. “It seemed like the perfect fit. I can care for thousands of people by getting their electric back on,” says Metheny, who also liked the idea of working outdoors. “It just really filled that emotional hole.” There was a slight problem with her plan, though, and one day last September her daughters, in an attempt to solve that
problem, told her to take a day off work. They kept their destination a surprise, but Metheny, who is afraid of heights, figured out what they were up to when they pulled into the airport in New Market, and she immediately spotted the skydiving sign. Metheny, 43, is in a 56-month training program to become a lineman for Dominion Power—the person you see climbing wooden poles or being lifted up in a bucket attached to the back of a truck to fix power lines. She knew that in order to move up from a groundsperson position she would have to overcome her fear—and leap out of a plane. “It was a surreal experience because you’re up there and you can see trucks and cars but not hear anything—it’s just complete silence,” she says. “But the adrenaline rush you get from it— even talking about it a year later—it’s just awesome.” Even though the initial jump was scary, she says she’d definitely do it again. “It’s just such an awesome feeling to be up so high and see so much of the Earth,” she says. “It just really puts into perspective how small you are and how important you are.”
“I’m responsible for putting people’s electricity back on when they need it the most. It really hits home...” STACEY METHENY

Local skydiver has logged 11,000 jumps James Hayhurst got into skydiving because he hated to march. In his late teens he entered the Air Force Academy and was excited by all the air adventures that inevitably awaited him. But his first year was filled with drills and learning how to maneuver under barbed wire—boot camp basics. At the end of that first summer, Hayhurst was in parade formation with the rest of the cadets, sweat dripping down his neck, when he looked up into the bright blue sky. He watched as the Cadet Parachute Team, surrounded by white fluffy cumulus clouds, released red smoke vertical contrails behind them, opened their chutes and landed right in front of him. “I thought to myself, ‘That’s the way to arrive at a parade,’” Hayhurst says. He wanted on that team, and after completing his freshman year he went on to Fort Benning, and then completed the basic parachuting course the academy offered. At the end of his sophomore year, Hayhurst was inducted into the competitive parachute team with eight other guys. He went on to become a collegiate champion and made the U.S. team after graduating. Much the same way a good golfer keeps up his game, Hayhurst, 64, continued to train and compete in skydiving competitions on the weekends and during vacations while he served as a fighter pilot in the Air Force for 15 years, followed by a career as an airline pilot and captain for 20 years. To date, he has completed more than 11,000 jumps, been on 20 national teams and has an equal number of world championships to his name. He now serves as an official observer at world record attempt jumps. It’s no surprise that Hayhurst’s son, Kristopher, who grew up around a parachute drop zone, followed in his father’s footsteps. As a senior in high school, Kristopher, who had completed about 250 jumps at that
Not afraid of heights? Good, because Charlottesville has plenty of opportunities for you to experience them. Companies in the area offer all kinds of ways to see the area from a bird’s-eye view. Blue Ridge Ballooning and Boar’s Head Ballooning, for example, let you to float across our scenic mountain range during the day or at sunrise and sunset. If you’re looking for more of an adrenaline rush, try skydiving. The closest skydiving company is Skydive Orange, about 45 minutes away from Charlottesville. If you went to high school in the area, you might have seen them dropping divers onto area football fields for showy game starts. On Skydive’s website, skydive orange.com, you can see if you fit the health requirements and then book a solo or tandem dive. Both skydiving and hot-air ballooning cost around $250-$300 per person. If you’re seeking a cheaper and less extreme way to see Virginia from above, look for bungee trampolining opportunities. The annual Waynesboro XTremeFest, held in June, has free admission and offers attendees a chance to bungee jump. Wintergreen Resort also has a bungee trampoline (both are kid-friendly). But whether you’re freefalling from 18,000 feet or gliding above sun-kissed treetops, a variety of options are available for you to enjoy a oneof-a-kind view of Virginia.—J.S.

She views her work turning the power back on for citizens much the same way— she’s part of a large team that provides people with the electricity they rely on every day. Metheny lives in Orange with her family, and her crew covers the Charlottesville area. Though she works the 7am-3:30pm shift, she’s on call in case of emergencies. Three weeks ago, after working her normal shift, she was called back in at 10pm, and her team worked through the night. “I’m responsible for putting people’s electricity back on when they need it the most,” she says. “It really hits home. There are so many people who rely on electricity for life. It really gives me that emotional connection.” When her crew arrives on a call they have to determine things like where they’re going to park the truck, how they’re going to climb the pole, what to work on first and what the best solutions are. “Every job is a puzzle, it’s a challenge,” she says. “Even though you know what you’re going to do in a certain aspect, you really don’t know because every job is so different.”—Jessica Luck

point, was a guest competitor in the collegiate championships (you have to be 24 to officially enter the competition). Kristopher already had plans to attend the Air Force Academy like his father, but the West Point team saw him jump in the competition and recruited him to join their parachute team. Last June, father and son competed side-by-side in the U.S. Parachute Association National Parachuting Championships in Lake Wales, Florida. The older Hayhurst won the overall gold medal (as well as the gold in style and silver in accuracy), which earned him a slot on the prestigious U.S. Parachute Team that competed in the World Championships last September outside of Chicago; Kristopher earned a slot on the U.S. Team as a junior competitor. Hayhurst, who lives in Boonesville, still remembers his first jump, during a hot summer at Fort Benning, and what it felt like to exit the sweltering plane into the cool air. He says jumping out of a plane is like diving into a pool of water—the air creates a cushion around you as you float toward the ground. You don’t get that ground-rush feeling until you’re about 500 feet above. Two weeks ago Hayhurst was in Davis, California, officially monitoring Fraser Corsan’s practice jumps from 37,000 feet before Corsan attempted a world record jump in a wingsuit at 42,000 feet from a hot-air balloon. Later this year, Hayhurst will seve as an official observer for a team of hot-air balloonists seeking to break the record for the fastest time traveling around the world. “What’s fun about it is you meet the most interesting people,” Hayhurst says. “Some of them are wealthy and some of them aren’t, but they’re all adventurous. They’re great people not living the normal, boring, pedestrian life.”—J.L.

Gabriele Rausse’s love of Jefferson keeps him grounded
“...I like my boss. Her name is Mother Nature and she always surprises me with something new, so I never get bored.” GABRIELE RAUSSE
Gabriele Rausse propagated plants as a teen in his father’s greenhouses in the Veneto region of Italy and continues the zenlike work with plants as the head groundskeeper at Monticello.
Decades later, Rausse is still pursuing tranquility at Monticello. “I’m now the director of gardens and grounds, and my duty is essentially to make sure everything around the house and throughout most of the foundation property looks
good,” he says with a laugh. “I feel very lucky, because I have wonderful people working with me and I like my boss. Her name is Mother Nature and she always surprises me with something new, so I never get bored.”—E.W.
Sunny side of the street The Montalto sunrise hike is worth its 6am start time. This steep ascent starts at Monticello’s David M. Rubenstein Visitor Center and ends atop Montalto, the first land bought by Thomas Jefferson. The mountain rises more than 400 feet above Monticello, offering gorgeous views of mountains to the west and a sunrise to the east that Jefferson described as the sun “rising as if out of a distant water.” (Unfortunately, the upper portion of the trail is closed until mid-June due to storm damage.) The hike, which includes breakfast, is available only to Friends of the Monticello Trail. To join, make a minimum donation of $25 to the Saunders-Monticello Trail at monticello.org.—J.S.

director of gardens and grounds. “I wasn’t planning to stay too long because I’d decided I was going to start my own winery, but then I fell in love with Thomas Jefferson,” says Rausse. “Every time I had a question I couldn’t answer, I would go and see what he had to say about the matter, and I always totally agreed with him.” During one such research foray Rausse stumbled upon what became his favorite Jefferson quotation, gleaned from a letter written to the former president’s sister: “It is neither wealth nor splendor but tranquility and occupation which gives happiness.” The saying was apt—it was as if Rausse had been struck by lightning. The thing was, Rausse found his work zenlike. “I always loved to propagate plants because I’d done it as a teenager in greenhouses that my father owned,” he says. “I figured out a long time ago the plants were talking to me, but never got upset if I didn’t answer their questions or refused to have a conversation. …They were always there waiting for me to get back to them.”

Celebrated around the world as the father of Virginia wine, since working with Gianni Zonin to found Barboursville Vineyards in 1976, 71-year-old Gabriele Rausse has helped establish more than 70 Virginia vineyards. Considering that track record, Rausse’s decision to become the full-time groundskeeper of Monticello in 2012 may come as a bit of a surprise. That is, if you don’t understand his infatuation with Monticello and Thomas Jefferson. Having spearheaded the development of Jefferson Vineyards from 1981 to 1995, Rausse has a longstanding relationship with the historic property and its founder. The love affair began almost immediately, when the viticulturist and vintner considered planting grape vines. “It was beautiful for me to realize that Monticello was a very special place and that TJ had the intuition to establish his farm in that special place,” explains Rausse. “When cold weather comes, the air rolls off the little mountain at the same speed water does, which is why our growing season at Monticello is two months longer than the season in Charlottesville.” After deciding to take a break from the booming wine industry in 1995, despite lucrative offers from wineries and vineyards alike, Rausse took a gig as Monticello’s assistant

After retiring from a career in television station broadcast engineering in 1999, Michael Punches got interested in community service. Specifically, he wanted to educate children, which led him to take work as an aide for elementary schoolers with special needs. With the summers off, Punches, 60, began to think about teaching others about the outdoors. “I’d always loved visiting state and national parks, and felt that inspiring park visitors to support resource protection and teaching young students about nature and science would be such an honor and a privilege,” he says. Couple this with the deep joy he experienced when taking his students into the woods and watching them make discoveries and form connections with the natural world, and it seemed a seasonal gig in the park service was perfect. By summer 2001, Punches was a national park ranger and a visitor-use assistant at Yosemite. “I worked as a fee-collector at the Big Oak Flat entrance and helped orient visitors to the park,” he says. While initially the job wasn’t all that exciting, he got to hang out for months in Yosemite, and he learned a lot about working in the National Park Service. Although most rangers have advanced degrees in biology, geology or parks and recreation, Punches’ field of study was mass communications. “I was definitely coming at things from a different angle,” he says. “But I realized this untraditional approach could give me an advantage.” The career in television had made him keenly aware of presentation, while his work in the school systems had honed a knack for instruction. Merge the two and Punches had the makings of a great interpretive naturalist. The following season, he took a position at Yellowstone doing just that. “As an interpretive naturalist I researched, developed and presented guided boardwalk tours to groups of between 50 to 100 visitors, mostly about Old Faithful,” he says. The tours also included a variety of 20-minute geology lectures, a series of 90-minute guided walks through four different local geyser basins, a 20-minute children’s program and a 45-minute evening slideshow at the visitor’s center auditorium. Since finding his niche, Punches has continued working as an interpretive naturalist, creating and presenting educational tours for national parks ranging from Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, Mesa Verde, Glacier and, most recently, Shenandoah National Park. “I came to work at Shenandoah National Park five years ago and keep returning year after year because of the special stories connected to the park,” he says. Among Punches’ favorites are tales about former president Herbert Hoover’s private retreat called Rapidan Camp, the integration story of Lewis Mountain Campground and the unruly settlement of mountain folk that occupied the area before the park was formed. Through five seasons at SNP, Punches has collected innumerable memories, however, one stands out above all the rest. “Last autumn I was working at Big Meadows, which is this huge field atop a mountain,” he says. “I was leading a group of 15 fourth-grade students when we noticed a big white-tailed buck running across the meadow being chased by a very determined bear. Of course, the deer could cover the country in leaps and bounds, but the young bear continued the chase. Eventually, we lost sight of the pair as they entered the woods. It was an awesome spectacle to behold and a perfect example of the magic these parks provide.”—E.W.

What’s the buzz?

There’s a distinct buzzing noise in the halls at Monticello High School. Upon further inspection, it’s the soundtrack of an active beehive playing in AP environmental sciences and earth science teacher Chris Stanek’s classroom before the Bee Gees, the school’s month-old beekeeping club, checks the four hives just outside of Stanek’s room. When Stanek and Albemarle County Public Schools science division lead coach Robbie Munsey considered forming a beekeeping club last fall to give students a hands-on opportunity to learn more about topics, such as colony collapse disorder, they thought only a few students would be interested. But word quickly spread; the club now has about 30 students who meet regularly to care for the hives. Stanek and Munsey took a beekeeping class through the Central Virginia Beekeepers Association in February, and worked closely with Scottsville Supply to set up their colony of Italian honeybees. The outpouring of community—and school—support has been an added bonus, Stanek says. Scottsville Supply gave them a discount on equipment, Craig Builders made a donation, a local beekeeper gave them an extractor, and Dominion Power recently sent a check for $3,100, which will go toward purchasing another deep (a wooden box that houses the bees) and buying more beekeeping suits for the students. Senior Perry Lee currently serves as the club’s president. He helped build and spraypaint the wooden stands and frames for the hives before the club’s first official meeting.
He got involved, simply, because he “likes bees,” he says. “Bees mean a lot to humanity because they pollinate so much of our food that we eat, so why not help them out? Especially since they’re struggling right now,” he says. “Not only are bees important, but the whole bee community is really cool and it’s fun to be here and observe their behavior.” After filling an orange Gatorade container with a ratio of 1:1 sugar and water, and loading other supplies such as a smoker onto a cart, the students suit up and walk down the hallway, calling to mind a Hazmat team. In a fenced-off space between buildings (marked by a bright yellow sign that reads: “CAUTION: No Trespassing. Honeybees”) the students enter the courtyard, pair off into teams of two and get to work. Stanek tells the students the main goal for the afternoon is to check the hives to see how they’re doing, refill the sugar-water feeders and look for brood (eggs, larvae and pupa) in all stages. The students all say they have no fear working around the bees and, sure enough, they expertly use a smoker to calm the bees (it makes them burrow inside the hive to feed because it mimics a forest fire), before opening the tops of the wooden boxes and pulling out each wooden frame covered in bees and honeycomb, to look for signs that the hive is doing well. So far none of the students have been stung, and Stanek says there was only one instance of a swarm when the hives first arrived in April. The swarm occurred because there were two queens in one of the packages they received; they used sugar water to coax all the bees back into a box. The goal, Stanek says, is for the greenspace where the hives are located to eventually be home to enough flowers (they recently spread 20,000 wildflower seeds) so that the bees can feed naturally. He gestures beyond the chainlink fence to a tall grassy hill and says they might turn that into meadowland as well. The group will also use grant money to install live-feed cameras outside of the hives with video shown on the school’s website, as well as sensors that can detect the temperature and humidity inside and outside the hives and determine the weight of each (heavier hives indicate thriving blooms, meaning they can serve as climate change indicators). Once honey production ramps up next year, they hope to sell it to raise money for the club. As the students pack up their equipment and head back to the classroom, they check each other’s suits for errant bees that might have nestled into folds or pockets. Just beyond the fence, a student spots a bee wiggling on the ground. She kneels down behind it and carefully scoops it into her gloved hands before releasing it back near the hives. The club’s motto: Beekeeping it real.—J.L.

Tucker Rollins helps maintain and forge new paths After working at city parks in Colorado for about five years, in 2007, Pennsylvania native Tucker Rollins moved to Charlottesville and, by what he calls a “fortuitous twist of fate,” fell into a job with Albemarle County developing and maintaining county green- and blueways. “I’m really lucky to have this job,” he says. “I love being outside, I get to work alongside like-minded outdoorsy people and, while it’s demanding, the work is for the most part pretty low-stress. ...I tell people all the

time that mine is the best office in town.” What do the duties of a trail maintenance coordinator entail? “I have three trail workers working for me and we’re in charge of the upkeep of 70-plus miles of hiking, mountain biking and horseback trails, as well as planning, designing and building new trails,” says Rollins. Every Monday, the group gets together and goes over a list of tasks that needs to be taken care of throughout the week. At the end of each day, they scratch off what they’ve done. With plans for installing a bridge that provides access to the backside of the 500acre Preddy Creek Trail Park currently in the works, Rollins, 42, says creating new trails is Albemarle County Parks and Recreation trail maintenance coordinator Taylor Rollins loves working outside in what he says is a low-stress job—as long as taking up about half his crew’s time. “Right the snake calls stay at a minimum. now, we have 10 miles of trails on the frontside of the property, but with the bridge going in, that’s going to open accessibility by nearly 50 percent the task ends up on our list. Then we go out with a chainsaw, and let us put in another six or eight miles of trail.” hike out to the site, take care of the tree and reopen the trail.” The process for building new trails begins with scouting. However, these maintenance calls aren’t always so routine. “First thing we do is get out there and walk the property, Take, for instance, a case in the Patricia Ann Byrom Forest investigating what kind of features there are,” he says. “We Preserve in Crozet. “People were calling in saying there was a look for stands of big mature trees, views, rock outcroppings, snake nesting in the rocks beside the kiosk and we went out waterfalls—things that visitors would want to see.” Second, there figuring we’d find nothing,” says Rollins. “But we started Rollins considers control points like property lines and stream looking around and quickly realized there was a rattlesnake crossings. Then, keeping all this in mind, he lays the trails curled up in the rocks!” He removed the snake with a pair of out from point A to point B. “Basically we draw the route trash tongs and, after placing it in a large cooler, relocated it on a map then go out into the woods and flag it out, trying to a remote section of the park. “It took us over an hour to get to make sure our route is the most exciting and sustainable it out of there,” he says with a chuckle. “It was a pretty scary one we can design.” situation. As you can imagine, that was not a happy critter.” When Rollins’ crew isn’t planning and building new trails, Rollins says he ends each day feeling proud of what he they’re maintaining old ones. “What happens is, the bulk of does. “The people we meet while we’re out on the trails are people are visiting the parks on the weekends,” he says. “So always really thankful and grateful to us for the work we they get out there and notice a tree’s fallen over the path or do,” he says. “I think we provide a necessary benefit to the whatever and leave a comment in the box at the kiosk. When community—people need to get out and spend some time those comments get collected, a work order is processed and in the woods, it’s good for us!”—E.W.

What’s better than an evening of gorgeous folk favorites from a legendary musical voice? Four Voices performs at the Pavilion on Tuesday.
@artscville
Indian stand-up comedian and writer Krish Mohan avoids the easy jokes, choosing instead to build funny stories by forcing the audience into his shoes. His 2016 album, How Not To Fit In, runs through a list of awkward topics such as a dolphin with six arms, the lack of originality in racism and interpreting American culture through episodes of “Baywatch.” With perfect timing, Mohan delivers rants on religion, immigration, relationships, politics and social issues. $7-10, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

Any one of the legends on the Four Voices tour would be reason enough to lay out your picnic blanket on the Pavilion lawn. But packaged together, Joan Baez, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray and Emily Saliers form a folk supergroup made to crush your feminist mother’s bucket list. Although it’s their first outing as a group, the vocal heroines began performing together in 1991, bonding through a friendship forged by talent and a dedication to humanitarian causes. $38-78, 7pm. Sprint Pavilion, 700 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 877-CPAV-TIX.
The second album from chamber pop cellist Wes Swing traces its origin to California, Texas and Washington, D.C. While composing in San Francisco, Swing struggled to overcome a wrist injury, before reconnecting with producer Paul Curreri (living in Austin at the time) who was facing his own physical challenge. Once collaboration on the new pieces began, says Swing, “I moved back from SF, Paul and Devon [Sproule] from Austin, and both Paul and I pushed through musical injuries and brought more vulnerable parts of ourselves to the music.” Described as deliberately sparse with stark instrumentation, And The Heart uses restraint and delicate vocals to pull you in for a closer listen. Curreri, Sproule and Lowland Hum perform as part of the album release celebration. $12-14, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

Alternative rock band New Boss’ new album, Third Sister, is not about siblings but it does speak to the familial bond that band members Nick Rubin, Jordan Perry, Thomas Dean, Scott Ritchie, Devon Sproule and Parker Smith share. They celebrate the record on Saturday at the Southern.
when it’s obvious, for most of us, that we come from somewhere,” says Sproule, but with New Boss, “it’s refreshing that some of the titles of the songs, or maybe some of the content, is referencing some sound or some band or some era of music—I love it.” For all the borrowing, lifting, shifting and glancing-towards that New Boss does, there’s plenty of originality and excellent musicianship on Third Sister, and not just in how the group manipulates the sounds and words of its influences. For instance, notice how Ritchie’s bass playing is aligned musically with both Dean’s lead guitar and Smith’s drums while also doing something totally musically distinct—that’s not an easy thing to do. Third Sister is New Boss’ most dynamic record yet, in style and personnel. The band has changed members over the years, and New Boss isn’t afraid to swap lead singers— Sproule, Perry and Rubin share the duties on this record—or collaborate with other musicians. Perry wrote “Back to the Beach,” a meditation on “alllll the shit that goes on underneath the water that you can’t see, and how it still resonates in this weird way,” with Charlottesville ex-pat and Borrowed Beams of Light frontman Adam Brock; Sproule worked on vocal melodies with her husband, musician and producer Paul Curreri. “It’s felt, for me, like a new reality of what a band can be,” says Sproule. Ritchie likens the band to a tree, where New Boss the band is the trunk, and then each song is its own individual branch of
sound, influence and meaning; most of the band members have solo projects and play in other bands, and that music, too, becomes branches darting forth from the New Boss trunk. They have two more releases in the works —a WarHen Records LP of a show recorded live at the Southern last December, and a six-song EP due out in the next year. Those six songs “really are special,” says
New Boss with Illiterate Light and BEN FM Record release show at The Southern Café and Music Hall June 3
Perry. “They hit another level, a new level. You never achieve the apex,” he says, but that forthcoming EP brings the band closer to it. After that, the future of New Boss is up in the air. Perry is leaving the band to focus on his solo music, and while Dean says they’re not sure they’ll continue New Boss without Perry, they’re nothing if not open to what comes next. After all, free association is at the essence of the band. “We’re a completely different-feeling band now than we were” even an album ago, Dean says, and while Third Sister represents “a completely different moment” for the band, “it still sounds like us.” It’s there in the name.

a song. Most New Boss songs begin with lead guitarist Thomas Dean, who will write a guitar riff that reminds him, usually, of another song or a certain sound. He’ll create a demo around the riff and share it with the rest of the band—guitarist and vocalist Jordan Perry, bassist Scott Ritchie, keyboardist and vocalist (and C-VILLE Tunes columnist) Nick Rubin, drummer Parker Smith and vocalist Devon Sproule—to flesh it out into a fully embodied tune. Perry says that New Boss takes a free-associative approach to writing, both lyrically and musically, where band members (usually Dean) will give a demo a working title and develop the content based on whatever comes to mind when they think of that title. When Perry writes, he says he chooses lyrics based on their sonic quality—words that feel good and interesting to sing—and tries to let content arise rather than choose a topic from the get-go. “The sonic aspect feels like the priority, and then comes out, whatever is going on consciously or unconsciously in one’s brain, as far as content,” he says. Power structures and power dynamics—both the highly observable, in-yourface and on-the-news kind and the kind that exists within the self and is more difficult to perceive—is what materialized on many of the tracks on the band’s third full-length record, Third Sister, and to an extent, on the band’s 2016 effort, Home Problems (see “Jeeps” and “The Hill” for evidence). Sometimes the musical association is obvious—the original sample for “Jeeps” was the beat off of T. Rex’s “Jeepster”— other times it’s subtle, like with “Mirror Mirror,” which Dean says is the band’s attempt at ripping off Brian Eno’s “Seven Deadly Finns,” which itself is a rip-off of any classic pop rock song (don’t miss Rubin’s Roxy Music-esque synthesizer explosion on this one). Other times, a song travels so far from its original inspiration that the two are tethered by a single word in the title. “Wildlife” was a title that Dean nabbed from David Bowie’s “Teenage Wildlife,” off of Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), and wrote some music that felt like teenage wildlife to him. When Sproule got ahold of the demo, she was pregnant and reading The Mists of Avalon, and her ruminations on both turned the song into what she says is a sort of “pagan party tune.” “A lot of people try to hide their influences, or pretend like they’re just pulling their songs and their music out of total nowhere,

hen Maximilian Schele De Vere arrived in Scott Nolley’s art conservation studio in Richmond, he was in rough shape. Covered in years’ worth of dust, tobacco residue and coal-fire furnace soot, Schele De Vere—or rather his portrait, rendered in oil paint on canvas by Louis Mathieu Didier Guillaume circa 1887—had fallen against a trash can and suffered a large, jagged tear and significant structural damage from exposure to uncontrolled temperature and humidity in a University of Virginia pavilion basement. The painting, which had once hung on a pavilion wall, sat untouched in UVA’s collection for years. “To the uneducated eye, it looked like a total loss,” says Nolley, who has been an art conservator for more than 35 years and has done conservation work for UVA and its Fralin Museum of Art, as well as for Monticello, Colonial Williamsburg and the Commonwealth of Virginia. “When something comes to that level of damage, it’s a bit of a tipping point,” Nolley says. “The decision is made whether it’s worth the attention or if they’re just going to let it go.” Guillaume, regarded by many as one of the best portrait artists working in the U.S. at the time of the Civil War, was based mostly in Washington, D.C., and Richmond, so Nolley has seen a fair number of Guillaume paintings come through his studio. The artist was known for his “tiny, delicate, draftsmanship-like brushstrokes” and “deftly modulated, incredibly sensitive” colors, says
Nolley. When you get up close to a Guillaume painting, details such as the highlights on jewelry, buttons or individually rendered whiskers on a mustache are rather breathtaking. “His skills are unchallenged in my world,” says Nolley, so seeing this portrait of Schele De Vere in storage and “in this condition was just heartbreaking.” Not only is Guillaume a significant painter in American art history, the subject, Schele De Vere, is an important figure in UVA history—hired in 1844, the Swedish-born professor taught modern language classes at the university for more than 50 years. After 110 hours of technical work that required extensive knowledge of chemistry and art history, “Maximillian Schele De Vere” is back on display at the University of Virginia, this time in The Fralin Museum of Art, as part of the “Collect, Care, Conserve, Curate: The Life of the Art Object” exhibit currently on display through July 23. The details of his journey back include: adhering the painting to a supporting canvas, cleaning off layers of soot, grime and stains using a custom-designed, water-based cleaning system, filling losses to the paint layers and in-painting with pigments dispersed in acrylic resin.
ARTS SCREENS In most fine art museums, pieces come out of storage, go up on the wall or in a case, and then are returned to storage once the exhibit is over. This is certainly true at The Fralin, which has nearly 14,000 objects in its permanent collection, says Jean Lancaster, The Fralin collections manager who curated the exhibit. Lancaster is constantly in conversation about The Fralin’s collection with curators, scholars, appraisers, digital imaging specialists and conservators like Nolley. Together they decide, among other things, what to conserve, when to conserve it and how— “The Life of the Art Object” exhibit brings some of those conversations into the public sphere to show how and why some of these decisions are made.

Choppy waters Baywatch can’t save itself from a lack of focus
“Collect, Care, Conserve, Curate: The Life of the Art Object” Through July 23
Baywatch’s predictable punchlines and scattershot storylines make the movie version of the popular ’90s TV series hard to navigate.
By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com
T
some fans of the original series might be on board, but it was a surprisingly sharp satire that charted its comedic course. Baywatch does seem to want fans of the show to approve, with self-referential gags that won’t make sense to anyone else, but also acts like actually caring about the fans is beneath it. There’s a campy quality to the show, which
Baywatch R, 119 minutes Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX, Violet Crown Cinema
is why it still exists in the cultural canon long past its expected shelf life. This movie update, however, has no appeal to anyone. There are a few chase sequences that would feel at home in a dedicated action flick, but they pop up out of nowhere and disappear even more quickly. Some lines will make you chuckle then forget why. Seminewcomer Jon Bass will charm you, but he’s just the nerdy kid who gets sexually humiliated then arbitrarily rewarded. Baywatch shouldn’t be the movie that tries to do it all at the same time. Pick a thing and stick with it. It’s what the Hoff—not to mention the audience—deserves.

Is it worth your time? Do you like movies that are not sure whether to be selfaware or sincere, raunchy or straight-laced, a genuine tribute to the source material or too-cool-for-school parody?
@artscville
he big-screen Baywatch isn’t the worst movie ever made—just the most pointless. There are occasional laughs but it can’t be called funny. The performers are charming and committed, but it’s not exactly well acted. Everyone was hired for a job: They did it, took lunch, got paid and went home satisfied with a solid day’s work and with the knowledge that none of it actually mattered. Nobody needed this movie, least of all the team of talented and attractive people tasked with making it happen, but here we are anyway. Is it worth your time? Do you like movies that are not sure whether to be self-aware or sincere, raunchy or straight-laced, a genuine tribute to the source material or too-cool-forschool parody? Do you like being able to predict the punchline to every single joke in advance? Do you want to see The Rock charm his way through material that is (yet again) so clearly beneath his talent? If the answer is yes, cool, go see Baywatch, no skin off our back. The movie, such as there is one, intends to be an exaggerated version of the original TV series’ more preposterous plots, involv-
ing lifeguards taking down a massive crime ring because it happens to be located near their beach. The cast—including Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario and Kelly Rohrbach—play the leads, who improbably have the same names as the characters in the show yet exist in a universe where David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson also are named Mitch Buchannon and C.J. “Casey Jean” Parker. Mitch is forced to handle his daily Baywatch duties while babysitting newcomer Matt Brody (Efron), a cocky, disgraced Olympic champion who the higher-ups feel would be good for the Baywatch program’s visibility. Meanwhile, drugs have been appearing more frequently on the beach, and always seem to lead back to local club owner Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra). The team consistently oversteps its jurisdiction—they’re a group of lifeguards, not police—and uncover a complicated criminal operation while butting heads with the cop (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) who resents their presence. The biggest problem with this Baywatch update—beyond not being a good idea to begin with—is that we don’t know who it’s for. It seems to be partially inspired by 21 Jump Street and its sequel, which knew that

What were they to do about the portrait of a young man that had been attributed to 17th-century Dutch master Rembrandt but demonstrated qualities of 20th-century portraiture? An X-ray fluorescence scanner of the painting showed that titanium white pigment—a pigment not used in oil paint until the 1910s—was used for the young man’s lace collar, confirming the suspicion that the painting wasn’t a Rembrandt...but the question of what it was remained. What about the late 19th-/early 20th-century Chinese export plate that had been repaired with staples by a European china mender? Leave the staples in to show the history of china repair or make it look like new? The exhibit also afforded Lancaster the opportunity to send some neglected pieces out for conservation, and display ones that had never been on view in the museum— like the oldest textile in the collection, a Peruvian feathered tabard (tunic) covered in brilliant yellow and turquoise parrot and macaw feathers. Each object has “its own story, its own needs, its own preservation priorities,” says Lancaster. “Art has a life beyond the gallery walls.” Labels in the exhibit describe the preservation stories, enhancing the viewer’s appreciation, bringing us closer, not just to the artists, but to other viewers, to the people who prayed in front of the “Seven Saints in Adoration” altarpiece from 14th century Siena and to the person who centuries ago brought a brownware ocarina to his lips and blew a soft melody. “The truth resides in these objects,” says Nolley. “People can rewrite history all they want, [but] they’re not making any more material from these periods; it’s just an impossibility. So returning to and referencing and studying this material is one of the few ways you can directly engage a time period,” he says of the act of viewing these objects. “It’s a very valuable asset to us as a species and a culture,” and it must be preserved.

FF First Fridays is a monthly art event featuring exhibit openings at many downtown art galleries and additional exhibition venues. Several spaces offer receptions.
“My artwork smells very appealing, if you like Indian food,” says Charlottesville illustrator Paul Hostetler, whose work will be on display this month in the McGuffey Art Center Lower Hall Gallery. “And I hope that previous sentence makes people lean up and smell my art during the show. Then lean back and think about how that wasn’t very sensible, then about how almost everything in modern society isn’t very sensible, beyond our constant struggle to make it make sense,” he says. “Then I hope they quickly squash those feelings so they can properly enjoy the other pieces. Then I hope they buy something.” Hostetler, whose work you’ve seen on that dinosaur-covered CAT bus around town, is showing “a mélange” of cartoons, finished illustrations, unfinished drawings and what he calls “trite paintings.” He is one of six artists participating in McGuffey’s Incubator Studio, a program that allows nonmembers to practice under the tutelage of McGuffey member artists. Hostetler’s partial to the piece titled “Player Piano (or, Finger Typewriter),” where swiftly typing fingers take the place of typewriter keys, and a wild tongue and half a set of teeth sit where the key hammers and ribbon would be. With its bonkers imagery and bright, dissonant color scheme, it’s wily and thoughtprovoking, and Hostetler says he “spent an awful lot of time and effort on [it], despite the piece being about how much easier art would be if it could make itself.” —Erin O’Hare

THE WORKING POUR
Production value By Erin Scala eatdrink@c-ville.com
T
Grape crush Virginia’s largest wine market competitor on the East Coast is New York, with Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia also being key players. But Virginia’s lower number of wineries compared with New York means we are producing fewer grape tons per winery, thus making our boutique wineries stand out.
Virginia numbers demonstrate explosive growth in both grape tons and revenues. In 2005, Virginia produced about 5,600 tons of grapes; by 2014 this grew to about 8,000 tons. One thing Virginia and New York have in common is a local restaurant scene that supports local wine. In New York, most serious restaurant wine lists feature a New York selection, and the same holds true in Virginia. You’ll even find a few Virginia restaurants such as Field & Main (Marshall), Revolutionary Soup (Charlottesville), the former Brookville (Charlottesville) and The Roosevelt (Richmond) pouring almost exclusively Virginia wines. This synergy between local food and wine is helping to cre-
ate and define new regional cuisines. Take, for instance, the magic combination of fresh soft-shell crabs paired with a local petit manseng. The pairings help create a lasting dining culture that can sustain long-term business and promote regionality. Over the last four decades, the East Coast wine scene has shaken off the dust that settled over a diminished industry crippled by Prohibition. Today, these wineries are poised to take the next step in creating lasting impacts on local culture and cuisines. Erin Scala is the sommelier at Fleurie and Petit Pois.

2014 grape harvest yield New York: 44,000 tons; Virginia: 8,600 tons
Dr. Konstantin Frank learned his craft at ancient wineries in (then) Soviet Georgia before coming to the United States in 1951. Once here, he advocated for the plantings of the Vitis vinifera grape varietals that dominate our current wine business.
May 31 – June 6, 2017 c-ville.com
he Virginia wine scene exists within a larger post-Prohibition wine revival sweeping across the United States. Before Prohibition, the East Coast had a thriving wine trade. But following the 1920 constitutional ban on alchohol, only a few wineries remained standing, such as New York’s Brotherhood Winery (in operation since 1839), which produced sacramental wine to avoid shutting down. Once the law was repealed in 1933, it took several decades for the East Coast wine industry to bounce back. One New York wine producer, Dr. Konstantin Frank, who established his winery in 1962, helped to shape the new direction. Frank vociferously extolled a particular grape species—Vitis vinifera—and believed that indigenous and hybrid species produced inferior wines. Vinifera grapes are a European species that originated in the Caucasus region several thousand years ago, and most familiar wines (chardonnay, viognier, cabernet, etc.) are vinifera. By 1973, a Vinifera Wine Growers Association popped up (now known as the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Association) and, along with the findings of Dr. Frank, began to influence East Coast winegrowers and the beginnings of today’s Virginia wine trade, where vintners such as Dennis Horton became intrigued by vinifera grapes. The U.S.’s post-Prohibition revival has made the grape business more profitable, partly because of the higher prices wine grapes can fetch. A near decade of statistics from 2005 through 2014 show that the country’s total grape production has not changed dramatically: Both at the beginning and end of the decade, the U.S. produced approximately 7.8 million tons of grapes. But the
average price per ton increased about 67 percent during that time, and a $3.4 billion industry grew into a $5.8 billion industry. Zooming in on the East Coast, the major players in order of grape ton production are New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Virginia’s biggest market competitor is New York. In 2014, New York crushed 44,000 tons of wine grapes, while Virginia crushed 8,600 tons. In volume, New York outpaced Virginia by about 80 percent. But New York has only about 20 percent more wineries than Virginia. This data demonstrates that Virginia wineries are producing significantly fewer grape tons per winery, and this is one of the reasons why Virginia’s emerging wine scene is so special. Virginia’s focus on smaller-scale boutique wineries has helped our wine trails stand out as unique attractions for agro-tourism. Most Virginia wineries are small family businesses, and you are likely to find one of the owners in the tasting room when you visit. Many wineries produce just enough wine to sell out of their tasting rooms, but not enough to enter the larger U.S. or international market. And while U.S. data shows little growth in grape tons but intense growth in revenue,

rdering a classic aperitivo Italian cocktail will give you a new buzz starting June 5: a chance to donate to charity. Negroni Week, a fundraising event from June 5-11 revolving around the bright, bitter citrus drink, has Charlottesville bars signing up to give a portion of their sales of the drink to a partner charity of their choosing. Steve Yang, Tavola’s bar manager, plans to donate $1 to $2 of each cocktail sold to No Kid Hungry. “No Kid Hungry is more in line with what our owner likes to do and what we like to do,” Yang says, adding that he wants to raise “as much as possible” for the charity, which works to end childhood hunger in the Commonwealth. And Yang has conjured up four unique spins on the classic beverage. “We have our classic Negroni, we have our boulevardier, which traditionally is going to be a bourbon version of a Negroni, but we do one with our own housemade bitter orange instead of Campari, and we use more of an after-dinner dessert-y vermouth,” Yang says. You can also donate your dollars with drinks at The Alley Light, Brasserie Saison, The Whiskey Jar and Lost Saint, which was the first area bar to participate. Negroni Week has raised about $900,000 since its founding in 2013, and Charlottesville is stepping up to add to that sum.
with a local chef who develops a completely unique menu; all of the details are kept secret until the last minute. Locations are chosen first and then paired with a chef, who is set loose to create a mouthwatering menu. “They all come with an idea, and we want them to do what they’re passionate about,” Sparks says. “We give them the opportunity to cook outside the box, so we leave that up to the professionals.” Only 25 to 40 tickets are sold, which covers the meal, wine pairings and gratuity. The process is first come, first serve, and at $125 to $500, tickets go fast. Sparks focuses on conversation, and encourages guests to get to know their neighbors. “We’re responsible for two weddings, three engagements and a lot of people dating,” Sparks says, along with countless friendships. “It’s a powerful thing, what happens between food and wine.” The next dinner will be held June 5 with the theme “From the Cast Iron to the Plate,” which will highlight Virginia’s Colonial-style cooking with a twist.

By Rob Brezsny
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Nobody likes to be scrutinized or critiqued or judged. But we Crabs (yes, I’m one of you) are probably touchier about that treatment than any other sign of the zodiac. (Hypersensitivity is a trait that many astrologers ascribe to Cancerians.) However, many of us do allow one particular faultfinder to deride us: the nagging voice in the back of our heads. Sometimes we even give free rein to its barbs. But I would like to propose a transformation of this situation. Maybe we could scold ourselves less, and be a bit more open to constructive feedback coming from other people. Starting now.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The lion’s potency, boldness and majesty are qualities you have a mandate to cultivate in the next three weeks. To get in the righteous mood, I suggest you gaze upon images and videos of lions. Come up with your own version of a lion’s roar—I mean actually make that sound—and unleash it regularly. You might also want to try the yoga posture known as the lion pose. What else might help you invoke and express the unfettered leonine spirit?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?” French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan posed that question. I invite you to put it at the top of your list of hot topics to meditate on. In doing so, I trust you won’t use it as an excuse to disparage your companions for their inadequacies. Rather, I hope it will mobilize you to supercharge your intimate alliances; to deepen your awareness of the synergistic beauty you could create together; to heighten your ability to be given the universe by those whose fates are interwoven with yours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From my study of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, the hidden chambers beneath the Great Pyramid of Cheops and the current astrological omens, I have determined that now is a favorable time for you to sing liberation songs with cheeky authority...to kiss the sky and dance with the wind on a beach or hilltop...to gather your most imaginative allies and brainstorm about what you really want to do in the next
LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
Gemini (May 21-June 20): “The most intense moments the universe has ever known are the next 15 seconds,” said philosopher Terence McKenna. He was naming a central principle of reality: that every new NOW is a harvest of everything that has ever happened; every fresh moment is a blast of novelty that arises in response to the sum total of all history’s adventures. This is always true, of course. But I suspect the phenomenon will be especially pronounced for you in the near future. More than usual, you may find that every day is packed with interesting feelings and poignant fun and epic realizations. This could be pleasurable, but also overwhelming. Luckily, you have the personal power necessary to make good use of the intensity.
of obsession. Almost no one knows their magnitude, though, because the members of your tribe often pursue their fulfillment with methodical, business-like focus. But I wonder if maybe it’s a good time to reveal more of the raw force of this driving energy than you usually do. It might humanize you in the eyes of potential helpers who see you as too strong to need help. And it could motivate your allies to provide the extra support and understanding you’ll need in the coming weeks.
five years. Do you dare to slip away from business-as-usual so you can play in the enchanted land of what-if? If you’re smart, you will escape the grind and grime of the daily rhythm so you can expand your mind to the next largest size.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “On some hill of despair,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell, “the bonfire you kindle can light the great sky—though it’s true, of course, to make it burn you have to throw yourself in.” You may not exactly feel despair, Scorpio. But I suspect you are in the throes of an acute questioning that makes you feel close to the edge of forever. Please consider the possibility that it’s a favorable time to find out just how much light and heat are hidden inside you. Your ache for primal fun and your longing to accelerate your soul’s education are converging with your quest to summon a deeper, wilder brilliance.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to carry out a flashy flirtation with the color red. I dare you to wear red clothes and red jewelry. Buy yourself red roses. Sip red wine and savor strawberries under red lights. Sing Elvis Costello’s “The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes” and Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.” Tell everyone why 2017 is a red-letter year for you. For extra credit, murmur the following motto whenever a splash of red teases and pleases your imagination: “My red-hot passion is my version of high fashion.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re in a phase when you have the power to find answers to questions that have stumped you for a while. Why? Because you’re more open-minded and curious than usual. You’re also ready to be brazenly honest with yourself. Congrats! In light of the fact that you’ll be lucky at solving riddles, I’ve got three good ones for you to wrestle with. 1. Which of your anxieties may actually be cover-ups for a lazy refusal to change a bad habit? 2. What resource will you use more efficiently when you stop trying to make it do things it’s not designed to do? 3. What blessing will you receive as soon as you give a clear signal that you are ready for it?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you want a puppy, start by asking for a pony,” read the bumper sticker on the Lexus SUV I saw. That confused me. Would the owner of a Lexus SUV be the type of person who didn’t expect to get what she really wanted? In any case, Pisces, I’m conveying a version of this bumper sticker wisdom to you. If you want your domestic scene to thrive even more than it already does, ask for a feng shui master to redesign your environment so it has a perfect flow of energy. If you want a community that activates the best in you, ask for a utopian village full of emotionally intelligent activists. If you want
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical Capricorn cultivates fervent passions, even to the point
to be animated by a focused goal that motivates you to wake up excited each morning, ask for a glorious assignment that will help save the world.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Life is in the mood to communicate with you rather lyrically. Here are just a few of the signs and portents you may encounter, along with theories about their meaning. If you overhear a lullaby, it’s time to seek the influence of a tender, nurturing source. If you see a type of fruit or flower you don’t recognize, it means you have a buried potential you don’t know much about, and you’re ready to explore it further. If you spy a playing card in an unexpected place, trust serendipity to bring you what you need. If a loud noise arrives near a moment of decision, traditionally it signifies caution, but these days it suggests you should be bold.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your body is holy and magic and precious. I advise you not to sell it or rent it or compromise it in any way— especially now, when you have an opening to upgrade your relationship with it. Yes, Taurus, it’s time to attend to your sweet flesh and blood with consummate care. Find out exactly what your amazing organism needs to feel its best. Lavish it with pleasure and healing. Treat it as you would a beloved child or animal. I also hope you will have intimate conversations with the cells that compose your body. Let them know you love and appreciate them. Tell them you’re ready to collaborate on a higher level. Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: RealAstrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.
