When it comes to mazes, the folks at Somerset’s Liberty Mills Farm don’t fool around. Well, they’ve created the state’s largest corn maze, so there’s actually plenty of fooling around once you arrive at the Orange County farm. The 25-acre field is divided into four separate trails, starting from easiest (about 30 minutes to make your way out) to most difficult (a labyrinth at the top of the maze with no maps to guide you), and is open through November 11. Tickets cost $12 on weekends and $10 during the week. Children 4 and under get in for free. Read more about the Liberty Mills Farm corn maze in next week’s C-VILLE.

Officer-involved shooting
City police killed J.C. Hawkins Jr. October 13, after Hawkins allegedly sexually assaulted and robbed a 72-year-old woman in the 300 block of Riverside Avenue. Three officers found him on the Rivanna Trail, and say he pointed a handgun at them. Officers shot at Hawkins, he fell into the Rivanna River and “succumbed to his injuries,” police say. The officers are on administrative leave as Virginia State Police investigate.

Democracy dropouts Americans like to extol our exceptionalism for living in a free country, while conveniently skipping over the foundation of democracy: showing up at the polls and voting. In that category, American citizens are lazy slobs. Oh sure, we turn out in presidential election years, which nationally is a lackluster 50 percent. Locally, we do somewhat better, yet only
mustering around 70 percent—barely a passing grade. And in a year where it’s merely local and House of Delegate races, which some argue are the most important, and fewer than one-third of the city and county’s 100,000-plus registered voters can be bothered to go to the polls. Supposedly the 2016 election galvanized the country. Will that call for action be evident in the polls? We’ll find out November 7.

Getting on City Council can cost a lot more than what the part-time job pays, even after a raise in 2018 boosted the salary to $18,000 annually. So far, no one’s touched Mayor Mike Signer’s all-time high of $51K to get elected, but major cash has been raised this year in some cases. In others, not so much.

Militia madness By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com
E
The Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection lawsuit hopes to keep “unlawful paramilitary activity,” like that seen on August 12, out of Charlottesville.
The 75-page complaint is a culmination of investigations, including interviews with residents and bystanders, hours of footage, hundreds of photos and thousands of social media posts, McCord said outside Charlottesville Circuit Court after her group and members of City Council filed the suit. “The investigation uncovered overwhelming evidence, much of which has only become available after August 12, of planning by alt-right groups to engage in the very type of militaristic violence that re-
August 12 victims sue Unite the Righters
Nathan Damigo, Evan McLaren and JonPaul Struys
Police had to intervene after an October 13 court hearing where three white nationalists were found guilty of failure to disperse during the Unite the Right rally, and then were chased into a nearby parking garage by people waiting for them outside the courthouse. Demonstrators with their middle fingers in the air rushed Nathan Damigo, Evan McLaren and JonPaul Struys when they left Charlottesville General District Court. The group chanted “fuck white supremacists” and followed the men into the Market Street Garage where McLaren was parked. Damigo—founder of white supremacist group Identity Evropa—trailed McLaren—the executive director of the
National Policy Institute, which was formerly headed by Richard Spencer—to the car while Struys turned to face the angry group, making a peace sign and pursing his lips. About a dozen police were on hand, and they ordered everyone who wasn’t parked in the garage to leave. The three men then rode off in the silver car McLaren was driving. In court, Virginia State Police troopers testified that they arrested Damigo and Struys on August 12 after the rally had been declared an unlawful assembly and its participants were instructed to leave Emancipation Park. The two refused to leave and pushed up against the shields of a line of riot cops. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

ALT-RIGHTERS FOUND GUILTY OF FAILING TO DISPERSE
@cvillenews_desk
Eleven residents injured during the August 12 weekend, represented by legal powerhouse firms, filed a suit in federal court October 11 seeking monetary compensation from organizers of the Unite the Right rally, including Jason Kessler, Richard Spencer and more than three dozen white supremacist and neo-Nazi individuals and groups, alleging they conspired to commit violence in Charlottesville. Tyler Magill, who had a stroke a few days after being whacked by a tiki torch during the August 11 march through UVA’s grounds, Marcus Martin, who was struck by defendant James Fields’ car, which broke his leg and ankle, his fiancée, Marissa Blair, and the Reverend Seth Wispelwey are among the plaintiffs suffering physical and emotional trauma, according to the suit. Attorneys for the plaintiffs include Roberta Kaplan, who represented Edie Windsor in the landmark Supreme Court case on gay marriage, and former federal prosecutor Karen Dunn with Boies Schiller. In a 96-page complaint, the plaintiffs allege an unlawful conspiracy to intimidate, harass and injure blacks, Jews, people of color and their supporters. The suit cites Andrew Anglin, publisher of the Daily Stormer, who wrote of an “atavistic rage in us, deep in us, that is ready to boil over. There is a craving to return to an age of violence. We want a war.” Organizer and new Identity Evropa CEO Eli Mosley promised,”They will not replace us without a fight,” according to the suit. Says Kaplan, “The whole point of this lawsuit is to make it clear that this kind of conduct—inciting and then engaging in violence based on racism, sexism and anti-Semitism—has no place in our country.”—Lisa Provence
sulted,” McCord says. “They have vowed to come back, as have the self-professed militia purporting to be peacekeepers.” MichieHamlett attorneys Lee Livingston and Kyle NcNew will serve as the local counsel for the suit. Livingston reminded those outside the courthouse of the terror the city faced that day. “August 12 is a tragic story now—a part of the lives of all Charlottesvillians,” he says. “A street we walk to restaurants, where we enjoy life with our neighbors, on that street, our neighbors were plowed over by a car. The images of bodies being smashed by that car will never leave us. A park where we celebrate festivals became a scene of medieval squad maneuvers, people struck down, people bleeding. We fear that a dark chapter was opened in our nation’s history on our doorstep, a chapter many had thought was closed in the 20th century.” He said he hopes the suit will provide public servants “who protect the peace” a tool to prevent private armies from returning to the area, protect those who use Emancipation Park and the surrounding area from the “intimidating, unregulated soldiers” and allow the community to come together, “in at least a small step, to reduce what feels like a dark turn of our story.”
October 18 – 24, 2017 c-ville.com
xactly two months after the summer’s Unite the Right white nationalist rally that left three dead and many injured, a legal group has filed an unprecedented complaint on behalf of Charlottesville, local businesses and neighborhood associations that could prohibit “unlawful paramilitary activity” in the city. Lawyers with Georgetown University law school’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection claim the independent militiamen and women, many carrying “60 to 80 pounds of combat gear,” such as semiautomatic assault rifles slung over their shoulders, made tensions boil at what some have called the largest gathering of white supremacists in recent history. “Regardless of ideology, the presence of these private armies, whether armed with assault rifles or bats, batons or clubs, significantly heightens the possibility of violence, as we saw on August 12,” said Mary McCord, an attorney with Georgetown Law’s ICAP, who filed the complaint which is, as she says, “seeking to ensure that the streets do not become battlefields for those who organize and engage in paramilitary activity.” According to the complaint, rally organizers, including homegrown Jason Kessler, solicited private militias to attend the rally, held group-wide planning calls and circu-
lated an instructional document called “General Orders.” “All the while, attendees encouraged one another to ‘prepare for war,’” according to ICAP. Named defendants in the lawsuit include Kessler and Identity Evropa CEO Eli Mosley, white nationalist groups Traditionalist Worker Party, Vanguard America, League of the South and the National Socialist Movement, and private militia groups Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia, New York Light Foot Militia, Virginia Minutemen Militia, American Freedom Keepers, American Warrior Revolution, Redneck Revolt and the Socialist Rifle Association. Kessler and the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia did not immediately respond to interview requests. “It’s a unique lawsuit,” says Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead, who has represented far-right and far-left defendants for 40 years. “There are some real complications.” According to Virginia law, “the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power,” but Whitehead points to the 2008 Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, in which justices voted 5-4 that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to carry weapons unconnected with service in a militia. He says the definition of “militia” under Virginia law is vague, and several groups named in the suit do not identify as militia groups.

The anti-pipeline group Bold Alliance has filed a property rights lawsuit against FERC, alleging the abuse of eminent domain for construction of the 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which would travel directly through Nelson County.

hough the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the Atlantic Coast Pipeline October 13, those opposing the $6 billion, 600-mile gas fracking project say they’re not going down without a fight. “It’s not over by any means,” says Kirk Bowers, a program coordinator with the local chapter of the Sierra Club. Though he’s not showing his hand, he says his organization recently changed its policy against participating in civil disobedience, and training sessions have been popping up across the commonwealth. FERC also just approved the Mountain Valley Pipeline in southwest Virginia, where Bowers says opponents have blocked roads with their bodies, vehicles and gates to prevent surveyors from entering their properties. In the case of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, he says environmental groups and their attorneys have 30 days to file appeals. And they will. Dominion Energy sent out a press release late Friday night that said the ACP had been issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from FERC— the most significant milestone for the project yet, it said. “Our public utility customers are depending on this infrastructure to generate cleaner electricity, heat homes and power local businesses,” says Leslie Hartz, Dominion’s vice president of engineering and construction, who claims the project will result in lower energy costs and a cleaner environment because the ACP will replace coal-burning power plants. FERC chair Cheryl LaFleur dissented in the approval, and said the project isn’t in the public’s best interest, but noted that utility customers in Virginia and North
Carolina have already subscribed to 90 percent of the pipeline’s natural gas capacity. To proceed with construction, Dominion still needs water permits from the states in which the pipeline will run—West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. In West Virginia, where Dominion first asked the Department of Environmental Quality for the water permit, which was granted, legal group Appalachian Mountain Advocates filed suit—and won—this summer. Now, the energy giant has to go back to the drawing board, according to Bowers, who says Virginia water permit hearings are slated to take place in Richmond in December. Last week, the Sierra Club filed an appeal with the State Corporation Commission, Bowers says, because Dominion has allegedly contracted the ACP’s gas to its own affiliates without the SCC’s permission, which is required in Virginia. In early September, anti-pipeline group Bold Alliance filed a property rights lawsuit against FERC, alleging the abuse of eminent domain for private gain. Dominion has maintained it would only use eminent domain as a last resort. It also asserts that the ACP has undergone 300 route adjustments and one of the most thorough environmental reviews for a project of its scope. “This unprecedented scrutiny should give assurance to all communities that their voices have been heard and that the project will be built in a way that protects public safety and the environment,” Hartz says. Nelson County resident and affected landowner Richard Averitt is among 50 plaintiffs in the Bold Alliance suit. “Hundreds of landowners have stood strong and have refused to negotiate with the pipeline companies,” he says. “We have vowed to fight to protect and defend what is constitutionally ours, and we will win.”

Danville attorney Elmer Woodard has become the go-to lawyer for white nationalists. He was in court for four of them October 12 and 13, and he threatened to sue a photographer if she sold his image for profit.
Ramos, she said, was not part of the original gang beating Harris, but came from across the street to join in and punch Harris, who was on the ground. Once again, Downer expressed his concerns about “someone who strikes someone, who kicks someone when they’re down.” And Ramos’ non-resident status was another factor. “I’ve had oodles of experience with out-of-state defendants voluntarily coming back,” said Downer, in denying bond. Ramos, too, will be back in court December 14. Earlier that day, Harris, 20, turned himself in on a charge of unlawful wounding after League of the South member Harold Ray Crews alleged Harris assaulted him. Harris was released on an unsecured bond.
“There’s no restriction on marching around this beautiful city with a firearm.” ELMER WOODARD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
was greeted with hissing from courtroom attendee Nancy Carpenter. “I didn’t see anybody making any violence,” Kessler said, and added that the drone footage of the event that he watched a few days ago was “super boring.” Judge Robert Downer found all three men guilty of Class 1 misdemeanors, and fined Damigo and Struys $200. McLaren, who a trooper said was “cordial” during his arrest, was ordered to fork over $100. The three have appealed the charges and will appear on the December docket call in Charlottesville Circuit Court, according to prosecutor Antony.—Samantha Baars

Another trooper testified that McLaren was lying face down on the ground in the park when he was arrested for failure to disperse. All three are represented by Elmer Woodard, who also represents “Crying Nazi” Chris Cantwell and Richard Preston, who’s charged with firing a gun during the rally [see story above]. The Blairs-based attorney argued that the rally should never have been declared an unlawful assembly, so police did not have grounds to arrest the men. Brian O’Donnell, who served as a Charlottesville Police Department zone commander August 12, testified that
people in attendance threw bottles, used pepper spray and beat each other with sticks and bats, and prosecutor Nina-Alice Antony said that was enough to declare the meetup unlawful. But Woodard said all of the violence was happening on the outskirts of the permitted area, so if an unlawful assembly needed to be declared, it should have only affected those participating in violence outside of Emancipation Park. He called rally organizer Jason Kessler to testify, and Kessler said the three alt-righters in question were his guests, and they all behaved during the event. As the homegrown white nationalist took the stand, he

Two other men arrested for felonious assault for the beating of Deandre Harris in the Market Street Garage August 12 also had hearings. Daniel Borden, the 18-year-old from Mason, Ohio, looked surprised on the video feed from Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail when he learned that his lawyer, Mike Hallahan, was not able to be in court that day and his hearing would be continued to December 14. Borden shook his head. And Alex Michael Ramos, 33, from Jackson, Georgia, who was denied bond September 25, again was rebuffed because of his lack of ties in this area and the “very violent encounter” with Harris, said prosecutor Nina Antony.

judge was unswayed hearing testimony from a man who first said he was threatened by the thrower of a C-VILLE Weekly box at the August 12 Unite the Right rally and who then fired his pistol to defend a man who was the target of a homemade flamethrower. Baltimore resident Richard Wilson Preston Jr., 52, imperial wizard of the Confederate White Knights of the KKK, appeared in Charlottesville General District Court October 12 seeking bond. He was arrested August 26 for discharging a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school after video circulated of him firing the gun at the rally. Preston was represented by Elmer Woodard, who is also the attorney for other white nationalists arrested in conjunction with the August 12 weekend [see related story p. 11]. Originally scheduled for a preliminary hearing, Preston first asked that it be continued, and then changed his mind the Saturday before, according to Woodard. The prosecution objected because Preston’s change of heart came about October 7 on a holiday weekend. “You can’t have it both ways if you ask for a continuance,” said Judge Bob Downer, who rejected going forward with the preliminary hearing. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania also said he was not prepared for a bond hearing, but Downer agreed to hear testimony at the end of the day from the half dozen Preston Klan supporters who came to vouch that he’d show up in court if released. Wearing a striped jail jumpsuit and ponytail, Preston told the judge that initially he’d been threatened with a C-VILLE Weekly box and pulled his pistol in that encounter, but the box was tossed in a different direction. Beside him, a man clad in black wearing shorts and a mask had what Preston described as a nail-spiked stick. “He said he was going to kill me,” said Preston. “I pulled
my pistol back up and said if he tried that, I’d fucking shoot him.” Preston’s gun is registered in Baltimore. “There’s no restriction on marching around this beautiful city with a firearm,” said Woodard. Scott “Woodsy” Woods from Glasgow, Virginia, testified he’d been hit with pepper spray August 12 when a second threat emerged. “I’m right here getting attacked by this guy with a flamethrower,” he said. “I saw this guy flick this thing three times. Then he sprayed it in my face. I felt the heat.” Said Woods, “Someone fired a shot.” And that’s when the threat stopped, he said. Culpeper resident Corey Long, 23, identified as the man in the iconic flamethrower photo, turned himself in October 13 and was charged with disorderly conduct and in another August 12 incident, assault. He was released on an unsecured bond. Woods said he’d been Facebook friends with Preston for about five years, and has met him “two or three times,” the last occasion at a June cookout in Martinsville. Billy Wayne Snuffer Sr., the imperial wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the True Invisible Empire, which had a gathering in Martinsville in June, came from Buchanan and testified he was prepared to put up $2,500—10 percent of a $25,000 bond, the amount Woodard suggested. According to Vice, Snuffer was connected to another KKKer—Chris Barker, who organized the July 8 rally in Charlottesville. Snuffer expelled Barker in 2015 for defacing a synagogue in Danville. Woodard said if released, Preston had friends who would house him in Virginia. “They’ll drag him up here,” he assured the judge. And while Preston didn’t object to electronic monitoring, because his friends live in rural areas, it might not work, said his lawyer. Downer said it was not the flight risk that worried him. “I do think he’s a danger to others,” he said. That Preston would fire a gun in a crowd of people there to exercise their First Amendment rights, Downer said, was “totally and completely reckless.”

Hostel takeover Local woman wants Charlottesville to be hiker magnet By Nico Gendron reporter@c-ville.com

Avid hiker Marit Anderson thinks Charlottesville should capitalize on its natural resources by offering hikers an affordable place to stay.

@cvillenews_desk facebook.com/cville.weekly
“As a whole, everything is spread out in Charlottesville, but the downtown area is perfect,” Anderson says. “I recently looked at a property that could serve as a hostel on [West] Main Street, near the bus station and train station, but it would have cost me a million dollars to buy the property.” Downtown is not the only area in Charlottesville considered prime real estate. Crozet, just 12 miles west, is an approved tourism district with close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which intersects with the Appalachian Trail. “Crozet would be a perfect place for a hostel,” says Burkhart. “It is good for hikers and nature seekers. There has been talk about having a hotel built out there, which is a sign of where the industry is going. I say you go where the fish are biting.” So far, Anderson has spoken with local accommodation owners about their experiences; the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau is next on her list. She also wants to gauge city government’s interest in an area hostel. Government backing would help expedite the process of locating a property and meeting local ordinances, and help alleviate concerns about it serving as a low-income housing option. She points to the hostel in Richmond, HI USA, which is a part of an international hostel network and, therefore, receives better funding and visibility. “Perhaps the city of Charlottesville will see the viability of having a hostel in its downtown area to meet the growing lodging needs of tourists, students, visiting professors?” she says.
October 18 – 24, 2017 c-ville.com
arit Anderson signs her emails “Moonwalker,” her trail name. She completed the 2,178 miles of the Appalachian Trail in 2009, a portion of which is easily accessible, via Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, from the place she calls home—Charlottesville. As the vice president and hike leader of Charlottesville’s chapter of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, Anderson is a strong believer in “tourism as a natural resource.” She thinks Charlottesville could better capitalize on its natural assets by appealing to an international outdoors community. Step one? A hostel. “My inspiration to start a hostel began with my experience as a thru-hiker on the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail, but expanded as I bicycled across America on the Southern Tier route from San Diego to St. Augustine,” she says. When a person does a long-distance trek, keeping costs down is often imperative, and hostels provide lodging at a reduced rate, as well as bring people together in common space while making a meal or resting, she adds. Anderson believes the majority of tourists who descend on the gateway city to Shenandoah National Park are visiting the university, are history buffs or are touring the plethora of wineries and breweries in the area, and not so much here to partake of the rich natural resources. “It’s disconcerting,” says Anderson. “Every winery is packed when I drive up to Skyline on a weekend. Did these people go and take a hike before?” Anderson recognizes that many of the city’s tourists are not necessarily looking for an affordable housing option, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a need for a hostel. “Experiential travel has become so much more popular, “ says Kurt Burkhart, executive director of the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Instead of going to one resort, people want to live like a local and make global friendships. Hostels offer that. They are an affordable travel option that often have stunning rooms and, most importantly, a common gathering area.” Each year, 5,000 people set out to hike the Appalachian Trail from various starting points. Thru-hikers deeply committed to their trail timeline—or vacationers who enjoy hiking but are on a budget—often avoid Charlottesville and opt for a trail town where they can easily find a cheap meal, place to sleep, laundromat and grocery store.

Paid for and Authorized by Toscano for Delegate. Not authorized by other candidates.
New York Times bestselling author John Grisham’s newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that’s on shaky ground. Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam. But maybe there’s a way out. Maybe there’s a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process. But to do so, they would first have to quit school. And leaving law school a few short months before graduation would be completely crazy, right? Well, yes and no . . .

CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCIL
Seeking council Can an independent breach Dem domination?
C
Walker herself says she’s not pushing single-shot voting. “I’m telling people to be informed and vote for the people who are most aligned with where they want to go.” An independent hasn’t won election to City Council since the 1930s, says political consultant Paul Wright, who researched that by looking at microfilms of Daily Progress issues until he had motion sickness. He doesn’t see that 80-year trend changing this year. “There is nothing more powerful than watching local Democrats turn out for the governor’s race, and independents will be swept away,” he says, based upon his own experience sitting at the polls four years ago. “Their turnout machine is an awesome thing to watch—unless you’re a Republican.” The election is November 7.—Lisa Provence
The candidates John Edward Hall (I) Retired industrial designer; age 66 Biggest issue: Lack of street lights, sidewalks. First action if elected: Listen carefully to the issues and be a team member, install a change machine in the Transit Center. Do differently from current council: Not take a vote on the monuments. Disadvantage: Was banned from City Hall in the early aughts by then-city manager Gary O’Connell because of behavior stemming from a mental disability, but he says current City Manager Maurice Jones has given him the all-clear to come to council. He’s been diagnosed as bipolar and has spent time in Western State Hospital. “I’ll always be honest. Some of these things are embarrassing. There’s a stigma.”
Rap sheet: Charged with trespassing three times, found guilty in 2007 and 2012. Lesson learned from campaign: Have a team to help. Monuments: At first favored relocation, but after a poll showed most people don’t want them moved, he changed his stance.
Heather Hill (D) Independent consultant, operational engineer; age 40 Biggest issue: Affordability of living in Charlottesville. First action if elected: Building trust. “Currently council is seen as a set of individuals pursuing their own agendas. Staff is getting direction from too many sources.” Skill set: Good at processes. “That’s the industrial engineer in me.” Do differently from current council: Its approval of a special permit for East Jefferson Place apartments. Monuments: “They have become symbols of hate and violence and need to be removed.” And they prevent focusing on the city’s “real priorities.” Slogan: Listen. Engage. Act.
Kenneth Jackson (I) Age 50 Previous political experience: Ran as a Republican for City Council in 2004 Why run? “We’ve got to get some decorum back.” Biggest issue: Freedom of speech and lost decorum. “We want to conduct the city’s business. Your free speech stops if you’re threatening me.” First action if elected: Bring back etiquette to council meetings. “You will not scream out. You will not use hand gestures.”
An independent hasn’t won election to City Council since the 1930s.

and an “impressive infrastructure in place,” says Norris, a former board member of EPIC, which endorsed Walker. While Laufer and Hill have raised more money—around $24,000 each—in the last campaign reporting period, says Norris, Walker raised more money than other candidates: $4,000 compared to second-highest fundraiser Jackson, who reported more than $2,500. And that was before Sonjia Smith wrote a $10,000 check September 25. “I know some donors who only give to Democrats who are giving to Nikuyah,” says Norris. “She’s certainly eating into the Democratic base.” Independent Paul Long also has a feeling an independent will win, “and it’s not me.” He gives an edge to Walker. Says Long, “I’m hearing a lot of anger over the way the city handled events this summer. Even the two Democratic ladies are taking a critical stance.” Independent candidate Kenny Jackson is not deterred by the daunting odds facing independents and says about doubters, “When I win this, they’ll be surprised.” Anyone who’s watched city politics for a while knows that the only way an independent—or a Republican—is going to get elected in the overwhelmingly Democratic city is by single shotting. That means only casting one vote, because using the other vote for a Democrat only adds to the tally for an already majority candidate. Long says he’s heard some Walker and Jackson supporters say they’ll single shot. “I don’t know if that’s a formal strategy,” says Norris, “but anyone who wants [Walker] to win will do that. That’s the most strategic path for her voters, to just vote for her, but a lot of people don’t like to waste a vote.”

ity Council has been publicly castigated about its handling of the white supremacist influx this summer, and it’s had public meetings break into near riots as an irate citizenry voiced its displeasure. Despite that, six people still want to sit in the two open seats on the city’s governing body. Two of them—Amy Laufer and Heather Hill—are the Democratic nominees who edged out incumbent Bob Fenwick in the June primary after Kristin Szakos decided not to run again. A non-Democrat has not been elected to council since 2002, when Republican Rob Schilling won a seat. This year? “I think history will continue itself and Democrats will win handily,” he says. “The odds are stacked so hard against independents.” Others think this could be the year an independent—Nikuyah Walker—breaks through the Democratic wall to get a seat at the dais. Former mayor Dave Norris handicaps the race with Laufer as a likely winner. “She checks many of the boxes for success”— she’s held elected office with two terms on the School Board, she can raise money and she has a history in the community, he says. “She follows the traditional path for electoral success in Charlottesville,” says Norris. “The real question is who the second one will be.” Conventional wisdom says winner No. 2 will be Hill, who checks many of the same boxes and “she has that D behind her name,” says Norris. But he likes the odds for Walker and thinks at this point it’s a three-way battle between the two Dems and Walker. “Nikuyah Walker is putting in a strong effort,” with a motivated group of volunteers

Paul Long (I) Retired; age 68 Previous political experience: Perennial council candidate Biggest issues: Permanent homeless housing, a regional transit authority for more frequent buses and more extensive routes. First action if elected: Vote against Mike Signer as mayor. Do differently from current council: Vote against giving John Dewberry a million-dollar tax break, “especially since he has a reputation of buying a site and taking his sweet time doing it.”
Nikuyah Walker Monuments: Remove them. “I was born in Philadelphia and I believe the war was against the legitimate government of the United States and an act of treason.”
Nikuyah Walker (I) Parks & Rec employee; age 37 Biggest issue: Being a “very assertive” black female and whether voters are comfortable with that. First action if elected: Change the rules in City Council, promote engagement through social media to draw in people who never set foot in council unless there’s a major issue.
Do differently from current council: The decision to allow two permits for downtown parks August 12 while trying to move the Unite the Right rally, and the response to citizens. “I would have said, ‘I think I could have done things differently.’ No one’s said that.” Controversy: Some have been offended by Walker’s use of the f-bomb at the August 21 council meeting. “I do know curse words. What about the events leading up to that? Someone died and it could have been a lot worse. And you’re worried about a curse word?” Monuments: Remove ’em. Slogan: Unmasking the illusion
Charlottesville School Board Three incumbents are running for three open seats.
Charlottesville School Board former chair, former teacher; age 45 Biggest issue: Transparency and whether City Council has overstepped its bounds. “That’s totally changed since February.” First action if elected: Establish trust among council and staff, have a retreat, have protocols in place and offer counseling to staff. “It’s been traumatic.” Do differently from current council: Stop the lawsuit about the bike trails at Ragged Mountain Natural Area and work with Albemarle County. Monuments: “I don’t want to revisit all that again.” It’s symbolism of white supremacy and Nazis, and a judge is going to have to make a ruling. “Let’s have different monuments.” Initiative: Piedmont Promise to pay PVCC tuition to CHS grads with GPAs of 2.5 or better and family income under $63K. Slogan: Move Charlottesville forward

expecting more and more from our kids at an earlier age.”

Do differently from current council: Renovate City Council chambers, do away with public comment lottery. Disadvantage: His campaign overdrew its bank account 21 times and accrued $672 in fees, according to the Daily Progress, most of which have been paid back. Latest on rap sheet since last run for office: In 2004, Jackson attributed four assault convictions—three of which involved stabbings—to youthful indiscretions. But in 2007, he was again convicted of assault. He says he’s now great friends with the woman who filed the charge, and if elected to City Council, he won’t be assaulting anyone. Monuments: Leave them. “Stick to basics like transportation and jobs.”

After the deadly August 12 weekend when white nationalists came to town to protest the removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee, Mayor Mike Signer called upon the General Assembly to hold a special session and repeal the statute that prohibits chucking war memorials. That’s not going to happen. In checking with our current four delegates, the three Republicans all oppose allowing localities to decide the fate of Confederate monuments. The GOP-controlled General Assembly passed a bill this session clarifying that localities did not have that ability, and Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed it. “Those of us that think the statues should stay are unlikely to change,” says Delegate Rob Bell. Delegate Matt Fariss, who represents southern Albemarle, says, “The statues, in my opinion, are not the problem. The people are. It wasn’t a statue that drove that car” that killed Heather Heyer. Three of Fariss’ ancestors, who were sharecroppers, fought for the Confederacy and died. “It wasn’t about slavery,” he says. “It was about tariffs.” Delegate Steve Landes, who lives in Weyers Cave, says the General Assembly won’t try to revise the statute while it’s being challenged in court. “Given the current makeup of the General Assembly, I don’t know that there would be consensus about changing the law,” he says. Landes describes himself as a “history buff,” and worries that if Civil War statues came down, founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington would be next because they were slave owners. “Let’s tell the good, the bad and the ugly,” he suggests.
Democrat David Toscano says localities should be able to determine what works best for them as far as statues. “Government works best close to the people,” he says. McAuliffe has called for a commission to look at how to deal with racist rallies like the one that made Charlottesville a hashtag for hate, and Bell says he wants to see what legislation is recommended. He advocates pursuing prosecutions when there’s evidence of acts of violence, and he wonders what happened with the police. “We had lawless anarchy in the streets where ultimately Heather Heyer was killed,” he says. With the presence of “explicitly racist” groups in town, “the average citizen could not safely walk down the street.” Fariss believes arrests should have been made August 11 when torchcarrying neo-Nazis paraded through UVA’s grounds and fights broke out, and he thinks arrests would have set the tone for the next day. He’d support legislation that would restrict carrying shields and clubs at demonstrations—but not guns. “I would be against restricting guns,” he says. “That runs up against the Second Amendment.” Toscano would support a prohibition on carrying weapons into public demonstrations. “It’s about free speech, not intimidation,” he says. Landes predicts legislation will come out of the governor’s task force—and not just dealing with racist instigators. “One of my questions is, we’ve talked about Nazis and white supremacists,” he says. “The antifa groups are just as violent and combative.”—Lisa Provence

Albemarle County Board of Supervisors County races are usually much quieter than those in the city, and this year is no exception. Of the three open seats on the all-Dem Board of Supervisors, only one—the Samuel Miller District—is contested. In the Rio District, Brad Sheffield decided not to seek re-election, and former School Board member Ned Gallaway will coast unopposed to the board in his first run for the seat. The county’s only contested race between incumbent Liz Palmer and Republican challenger John Lowry appears to be close—at least according to Lowry, who says he hears from a lot of people who say they’re going to vote for him because there’s only one party currently represented on the BOS. The Samuel Miller District, which includes Ivy and North Garden, has been purple the past few races, with Democrat Palmer upsetting Republican incumbent Duane Snow in 2013—and Snow had scored

retiring independent four-termer Sally Thomas’ seat before that in 2009. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Lowry wins,” says former mayor Dave Norris, because the board is solidly blue. “Anytime you have one party with a monopoly and have a candidate who’s sensible and well-funded saying he’s ‘bringing balance,’” that could do it for voters, says Norris.

The stakes statewide Trump popularity contest could determine GOP domination very concerted and targeted effort,” says Toscano. And if Gillespie wins, warns Toscano, he’d likely sign the 100-plus bills McAuliffe vetoed, many of which affect social issues such as LGBTQ rights. Money, of course, could be another factor in the race. While Northam has more cash on hand—$5.6 million to Gillespie’s $2.6 million—“the Republican Governors Association has more money than God,” says Skelley, “and it’s not going to spend it in New Jersey,” the other 2017 governor’s race that’s already been ceded to the Democrats. Skelley believes that as goes the top of the ticket, so goes the lieutenant governor and attorney general races. For lieutenant governor, a traditional stepping stone to governor, if elected, Democrat Justin Fairfax would become the second African-American to hold statewide office in Virginia, while Republican state Senator Jill Vogel would be the first woman to hold the LG seat. “If the race at the top of the ticket has Northam by 5 points, Vogel could win by 1 point,” suggests Skelley. In the attorney general race, he puts Democrat Mark Herring’s odds higher because he’s the incumbent, “and we don’t see many incumbents in state races,” he says. Republican challenger John Adams says Herring is politicizing the AG office, which is what Herring said about his predecessor, Ken Cuccinelli, notes Skelley.—Lisa Provence
Governor Ed Gillespie (R) Former counselor to President George W. Bush, former chair Republican National Committee; age 56 Close races: Nearly upset Senator Mark Warner in 2014, nearly lost to monumentloving Corey Stewart in June primary Endorsed by: President Donald Trump Confederate monuments: Those decisions should be left to localities—but statues should stay up and be placed in historical context, according to campaign spokesman Dave Abrams. Mass shootings: Not the time for policy pronouncements and political statements, and instead for information gathering.
Ralph Northam (D) Lieutenant governor, pediatric neurologist; age 58 Not-so-close race: Fended off local Tom Perriello in June primary Endorsed by: Governor Terry McAuliffe Confederate monuments: Decisions best left to localities, and he would sign legislation authorizing that.

Cliff Hyra (L) Intellectual property lawyer; age 35 Confederate monuments: Local residents should decide whether to keep them. “It doesn’t make any sense for it to be decided by people in Richmond.” Mass shootings: Keep firearms away from criminals and the mentally ill, prevent Second Amendment encroachment with ineffective restrictions such as those on magazine size.
Lieutenant governor Jill Vogel (R) State senator, attorney; age 47 Endorsement: former U.S. Senator John Warner Claim to fame: Carried the transvaginal ultrasound bill in 2012, and primary opponent Bryce Reeves is threatening Vogel and her husband with a defamation lawsuit.

General Assembly If it’s an odd-numbered year, it must be time to elect Charlottesville and Albemarle’s four—count ’em four—delegates to the General Assembly, thank you gerrymandering. Because as liberal as some claim this locale is, Republicans have a chokehold on three of its four districts. What’s different this year? Republican incumbents Rob Bell, Matt Fariss and Steve Landes all have challengers. House Minority Leader David Toscano, himself unchallenged, is heartened by the number of Dems willing to take on GOP incumbents in districts drawn to keep them red. “Most would say these lines were drawn to protect Steve and Rob,” says Toscano. “A lot of people decided the day after the election they’re not going to take it anymore,” he says. And he thinks President Trump will be a big drag on Republicans, who hold 66 of the House of Delegates seats, especially in Northern Virginia, “where his unfavorables are even worse.” Despite the groundswell of challengers for GOP incumbents, Skelley is dubious that the Dems will wrest control of the House of Delegates from Republicans. “Some Democrats think the House is in play,” he says. “That’s a complete pipe dream.” However, there are Republican-held districts where Hillary Clinton beat out Trump, and that’s where Democrats have the best chance to make inroads, he says. Skelley thinks a best-case scenario for the GOP is to only lose two or three seats, while the Dems’ best case will be to win seats in “the high single digits.” In the local races, he’s skeptical about an upset of incumbents. “Rob Bell has a ton of money from the attorney general race,” says CONTINUED ON PAGE 29

Even though the long and arduous 2016 election cycle is behind us, in Virginia, every year is an election year, and it’s almost time to head to the polls again. And because this is the first gubernatorial race in a postTrumpian world, the stakes are high for both Democrats and Republicans. For the GOP, “it’s an opportunity to push back at the narrative that President Trump can’t win in competitive states like Virginia,” says Geoffrey Skelley at UVA’s Center for Politics. And for Democrats, whether or not this is a referendum on Trump, says Skelley, “It’s a way to prevent Republicans from having complete control of the state,” where they already hold sway in the General Assembly. Both Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam (D) and Ed Gillespie (R) had to fend off challengers in the June primaries. And not only is the governor’s mansion up for grabs, the lieutenant governor and attorney general seats are also in play. “The conventional wisdom is that Northam will win,” says Skelley. But the race is close enough that “Gillespie could prove doubters wrong.” An early October poll put Northam up by 13 points, but others have given him a single digit lead. Trump is unpopular and “the White House is less energized,” Skelley points out. “That’s something Gillespie is running against,” he says. On the other hand, “Ed Gillespie is not a Trump doppelgänger.” Traditionally, the party out of power is more dissatisfied, says Skelley. Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is limited to one term, broke a 40-year streak in 2013 by winning as a Dem under a Democratic president. Another trend: The party of the president always does worse than the presidential candidate did before. “If that pattern holds, Gillespie won’t do as well as Trump did— and he lost by 5 points [in Virginia],” says Skelley. Turnout—always lower in a non-presidential year—will be another factor. The presidential election brought out 72 percent of voters in 2016, compared with 43 percent in 2013, the last gubernatorial election, says Skelley. Voters showing up at the polls will “likely be whiter and older, and that’s good for Gillespie,” he says. They also tend to be better educated, and “that might be better for Democrats,” he adds. “The person who is elected governor will be sitting in that seat when redistricting occurs,” says House Minority Leader David Toscano. “That is supremely important for Virginia.” The last time the lines were redrawn, a Republican was governor, and while the state was pretty evenly split, “the House of Delegates went 60-40 Republican because of gerrymandering,” says Toscano. He ties Gillespie to REDMAP, the successful GOP strategy he led to fill state legislatures with Republicans and redraw electoral lines, flipping 30 state chambers that had previously been Democratic. “It was a

TUNES
Briars and woods
Soundspecies & Ache Meyi
Brawls in the Briar (Super Secret)
HEAVN (Jagjaguwar)
Out of Range (Paradise of Bachelors)
Soundspecies & Ache Meyi (Manana)
Adam Ostrar, né Busch, former Charlottesville resident and WTJU DJ, was also a main mover behind Curious Digit, Manishevitz and SONOI. On Brawls in the Briar, Ostrar is joined by members of Califone and White Rabbits, and combines characteristics of all those bands. The tracks gently stir, rooted in acoustic guitar and Ostrar’s genial croon, adorned with countless touches— early-Floyd organ, triangle, borderline Frippertronics guitar, etc. Ostrar issues plenty of enigmatic lines, but also achieves emotional liftoff, as on the coda of “Another Room”: “The day is ending / the sun is setting in the spoon / I don’t want another room / I want yours, dear.” Understated and beguiling, Brawls in the Briar feels like a secret album that people share and bond over. Ostrar returns to Charlottesville, appearing at Low Records on October 23.
Jagjaguwar makes magnificent use of that Bon Iver money by giving wider release to Jamila Woods’ assured debut HEAVN, an R&B album that should have wide appeal (it makes sense that she’s playing the Austin City Limits and Afropunk festivals backto-back this month). Woods came through Chicago’s youth arts program, where she met Vic Mensa and Chance the Rapper (who shows up on “LSD” here). Race ruminations dominate HEAVN, and rather than gloss the relative privilege I have no business glossing, I’ll just say that Woods carries a lot of baggage from Southside Chicago to Northside Prep School to Brown University and back, with what sounds like strength and grace. Her voice isn’t on the level of Erykah or Solange, but it’s charismatic and flexible, lighthearted on the title track and cathartic on “Way Up.”
L.A.’s twangy-shambly Gun Outfit has been around for about a decade now; I’ve always liked them but have never gorged on their albums or found an unforgettable song. Nothing changes on Out of Range, and my previous good will is tested by the promo copy: “St. Augustine rides with John Ford and Wallace Stevens on a Orphic-Gnostic suicide drive toward the hallucinatory vanishing points of the Southwestern desert, debating the denouement of the decaying American dream.” Barf. Hard to say if the lyrics live up to the pretention, because Dylan Sharp mumbles—then again, the unassuming voices are part of the charm, as are the (predominately) breezy grooves and the whining, intertwining guitar work. And they sound like they’d light up the stage on songs like the stomping “Sally Rose” (!) and the hazy but driving “Strange Insistence.”
English label Manana debuted this year with a trio of releases, all collaborations between folkloric Cuban and international electronic artists. Manana has admirably navigated the pitfalls of this highly suspect mission, and the resulting albums are blessedly worthy of the label “vigorous hybrid,” as opposed to “lightweight pap” or “godawful train wreck.” Here, Soundspecies sublimates compositional urges, primarily providing atmosphere to the oceanic polyrhythms of Santiago bembe group Ache Meyi, led by mononymous brothers Hector and Rafael. This decision comes partially from practicality—the vocal melodies often switch keys, making harmonic accompaniment a cluttering prospect—but also from righteous respect for Ache Meyi, which pays off. The results are mesmerizing but kinetic, the percussive layers emerging and receding hypnotically. —Nick Rubin

mally, and channeling sound and using that for healing in any way that’s helpful for you,” she says. She notes that the practice can be particularly useful for musicians, as it guides them to be more thoughtful about the variety of sounds that can be incorporated into recordings or performance to achieve

a certain feeling or atmosphere. It isn’t just for musicians, though—anyone can benefit from the practice. And you might begin to wonder about sounds you physically cannot hear, like what plants sound like when they grow, when they photosynthesize. You won’t look at your kitchen window succulents in the same way.

DO TRY THIS AT HOME October 20, The Jefferson Theater
After a period of deep introspection incited by the Vietnam War, experimental musician and composer Pauline Oliveros wrote a series of 25 text-based instructions intended to provoke creativity and thoughtfulness; she called them “Sonic Meditations.” One of her simpler sonic meditations, “Native,” says: “Take a walk at night, and walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears.” “Anyone can do that,” Oliveros told Sound American magazine, “but attention is directed, and it’s directed to the soles of your feet. So, if in fact you actually do that, you’ll begin to listen in a way that’s probably different from how you usually do when you walk.”

in your environment...becoming aware of sounds, every sound that’s available to you, especially ones that you don’t normally pay attention to, and using that as healing, or to create community,” says Naylor, who is earning a certificate in deep listening through the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, which merged with Oliveros’ own Deep Listening Institute in 2014. Naylor’s sessions include sonic meditation, some gentle movement and, occasionally, dream exploration. Naylor uses some of Oliveros’ written guides, such as the “Sonic Images” meditation from Software for People, and sometimes she writes her own texts based on what she anticipates a group might need—for example, Naylor geared the August 17 session toward love, asking participants to ruminate on questions like “What does love sound like? Is it soft? Is it loud? Is it something that you notice?” When deep listening, “you’re opening yourself up to things that you wouldn’t nor-

it down, find a comfortable position—lay down, if that’s more relaxing. Close your eyes. Can you find the quiet place in your mind where there are no thoughts, no words, no images? Can you remain in the quiet mind place by listening to all the sounds you can possibly hear, including the most distant sounds beyond the space you now occupy? A dry leaf skitters across a brick wall. Birds chirp in the trees overhead. Something nearby—a squirrel?—makes a chuckchuck-chuck call that’s answered by another chuck-chuck further away. A helicopter whop-whops in the distance. Tires stick to humid asphalt. Keys jingle, a car door suctions open, hinges squeak. People walk, talk —they’re close enough that you can hear the murmur of their voices, but far enough away that you can’t make out the words. An insect whizzes by. A staccato breeze comes and goes; you feel it on your face but mostly you hear it in the trees. There’s the saliva sound your throat makes when you swallow. And the sound of your shirt brushing over your chest when you inhale, and the sound of the air moving in. Something small hits the ground with a tiny thump. The wool blanket beneath you scratches your thigh slightly as you shift around. The grass ripples. Your heart beats. You realize what you hear, when you take the time to listen. It’s easy to forget “that you could just sit down and listen to sounds and be fully in awe of them,” says Paige Naylor, a local musician and “deep listening” practitioner who has recently started monthly deep listening sessions—much like the one that prompted this writer to make all the observations above—at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative. Naylor, who plays synthesizers and sings in electronic-atmospheric-psychedelic band Sweet Tooth, has long been intrigued by the intersection of music and psychology and the healing power of music. Last November, Pauline Oliveros, the pioneering experimental electronic musician and composer who developed the deep listening philosophy in the 1970s, passed away at the age of 84, and Naylor, intrigued, began reading about the composer’s life and work and felt compelled to study it further. Deep listening is “engaging in a practice of holistic listening, being aware of all the sounds

Truth telling Lisa Beane uses “Karma” to address atrocities By Sarah Sargent
ter what race. Beane has beatified the martyred boy with a halo and the narrow rectangle he inhabits resembles a religious icon. Bound in embellished leather, “The Book” is an extraordinarily dense assemblage of image, media and message inspired by the attack on an 8-year-old biracial boy in Claremont, New Hampshire, who was set upon lynching-style by a gang of teenagers in August. Its 18 double-sided pages are Beane’s powerful indictment of racial hatred. Each page is a heartbreaking tour de force of execution and

lynchings. The fact that there were lynchings is bad enough. To then realize that photos were taken and postcards made and sent, complete with glib messages, just makes it all so much more sickening. Working from actual postcards, Beane extracts text and images to construct her paintings. Recurring imagery includes the lynching spectators and stamps in the upper right or left corners. “There Once Was a Boy Hanging from a Tree” draws you in on account of its rather
unusual composition. The left part of the work is taken up by a long passage of text, while the right is oddly empty. It’s the exact space where the boy of the title would be hanging, bordered in the lower front by the rabble rendered in dramatic silhouette and a frightened, sad Pooh and Tigger above. The dramatic and unexpected void attracts attention to what’s missing. The boy is separated out, within the stamp in the upper right and a shower of confetti-like dots surround him, referring to the stardust in all of us, no mat-
expression that rails against a world where children like the New Hampshire boy or Emmett Till are attacked (and in the latter’s case, killed) because of the color of their skin. Beane uses a combination of image and writing against animated passages of paint. She builds her surfaces up with slashing brushstrokes, swaths of color, drips, glazes, pointillist daubs. In some works, she adds pieces of wood. The effect is a frenetic urgency that matches the artist’s and reflects the roiling chaos of the current political climate. Beane has a poet’s touch when it comes to language, using words and expressions like barbs that strike just the right emotional chord, and populates her work with a cast of characters drawn from fairy tales and cartoons that represent goodness and innocence—and as such function as a de facto moral compass. “A big underlying point to this work is ‘Do unto others,’” says Beane. “The concept of karma—it all comes back to you, and at the end of the day we all have to answer for the good and the bad we have done to one another. All of these paintings show the need for accepting individual responsibility for society’s distorted view of privileged racism.”

October 18 – 24, 2017 c-ville.com
ine years ago I reviewed an exhibition at the Fralin Art Museum featuring the work of William Christenberry. Included in the show was his “Klan Room Tableau,” a peculiar installation of dolls dressed in KKK robes. According to Christenberry, the highly personal work was his means of exposing and exorcising the hatred and violence of the Ku Klux Klan, which he had experienced while photographing the South. A heavy velvet curtain concealed the piece from those who might be offended. How long ago that seems, when today, we have real Klansmen walking up Charlottesville’s Market Street in broad daylight spewing racist and anti-Semitic hate. The time couldn’t be more right for a show by Lisa Beane. Beane has always addressed challenging political and social issues, but with “Karma,” which centers on privileged racism, you sense the gloves have come off. Beane is fed up. “Someone said to me the other day, ‘Wow, you’re so angry,’ after seeing the [Robert E.] Lee painting,” she says. “I told him, ‘Really? No, I just hate the way racist, privileged people treat others and how long they have gotten away with it. Just because I stand up against them doesn’t make me angry, I just tell the truth.’” Part of that truth telling involves holding a mirror up to society to reveal its very worst. In this case, it’s the more than 4,000 lynchings that happened in the United States between 1877 and 1950. These events frequently took on a carnival atmosphere with women and children in attendance. Crowds as big as 15,000 were reported at some. And these weren’t mere hangings. Victims would be tortured with brands, their limbs broken, and some were burned alive. That despicable history is contained in vintage postcards that were part of a thriving souvenir industry that rose up around

A
civil rights superhero movie? Why not? For a country so enamored with our national mythology, we are remarkably inconsistent when it comes to cinematic depictions of our historical figures. After all, many of our founding fathers owned slaves, and many more recent icons emerged at a time when personal shortcomings could not be as easily concealed. How can we be expected to rally behind a singular narrative when our own conception of history is considered divisive? Director Reginald Hudlin provides the answer in Marshall, which sells itself as a biopic recounting an episode in the life of our country’s first black justice of the Supreme Court, but it can be more accurately described as a morality play on how to fight for truth and justice when doing so seems futile and may cost you your life or livelihood. The story follows the Spell case, an actual event in which Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown) stands trial for the rape and attempted murder of his employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), in Connecticut. Too many of the facts do not add up, so Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) arrives on behalf of the NAACP, his life dedicated to representing black defendants who are demonstrably facing accusations due to
their race. Because Marshall is not a member of the Connecticut bar, he requires the endorsement of an in-state attorney. Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a tax attorney, provides that support yet is reluctant to get involved in a criminal case. However, Friedman is forced to represent Spell when the judge (James Cromwell) refuses to allow Marshall to speak in court. There is the gambit: Friedman and Marshall must prove that the accusation is racially motivated, even though their team has been crippled by not allowing the more experienced civil rights attorney to speak. They must face down rape accusations without attempting to assassinate the character of a respected woman, or imply that this is a thing women routinely do. And they must not settle for any deal that would require an innocent man to admit guilt, even if it means losing the case. There are a few elements in the film that might seem slightly too convenient in another story, but Hudlin and his cast pay close attention to the areas that matter most. Every performance is excellent, from the walk-ons to the leads. Brown is a revelation, and his portrayal of Spell has the potential to elevate him from critic favorite to household name. Gad explores a character we are not used to seeing from him, always wearing Friedman’s past and current predicament in his face, movements and intonations. The fact that
he is Jewish means he is tolerated, but the moment he stands up to authority, bigotry emerges with a vengeance. Boseman’s Marshall is always one step ahead, always knows how to get out of a situation and always holds the moral high ground. This might have been irritating and even arrogant in a lesser film with a lesser actor, but this man has dedicated his life to pushing good people
Marshall PG-13, 118 minutes Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX
to go beyond their comfort zone while boxing bad people into a corner. This is his manner because it must be, as we often need a hero to show us what we are capable of. Amazingly, Marshall balances modern sensibilities with historical accuracy. In a moment where we are pushing the world to believe women when they accuse another of sexual abuse, the film recognizes that at the time, black men were charged with rape for consensual sex with white women as a pretense for lynching. The fact that the story is set in Connecticut is also fascinating for a man who had challenged the Klan, as the more concealed brand of Northern racism provides its own set of challenges but is no less toxic. Marshall is a terrific film, not only for what it does right but for how much it is able to accomplish in a well-worn genre.

Passing the torch New Fellini’s owner keeps tradition alive By Erin O’Hare

Robert Edward Johnson Sr. served as Aberdeen Barn’s chef for 50 years before retiring in 2015.
Kitchen king As reported in the obituary pages of The Daily Progress, longtime Aberdeen Barn chef Robert Edward Johnson Sr. died on Tuesday, October 3, after a long illness. He was 80 years old. In the early 1960s, Johnson was chef at the Gaslight on West Main Street, and in 1965 he began cooking what many regarded to be the best steaks in the Charlottesville area at the Aberdeen Barn. Johnson served as chef at the Aberdeen Barn for 50 years, until illness kept him out of the kitchen and forced him into retirement in 2015—at that point, he’d been the restaurant’s only chef.

three restaurants. Humphrey had cooked at Fellini’s in the past, and Dunkle asked him to come back on board last August. When the Humphreys expressed interest in buying the place, Dunkle says she was “thrilled.” “I knew [Chris] had the experience to know what he was up against, and Sarah, too, has been in the industry for a long time and [knows] about [the] front of the house,” Dunkle says. “I know they will keep Fellini’s on its successful track and I want to make sure it works for them, and for the community. Fellini’s has a long tradition in Charlottesville and it needs to continue.”

spaghetti and calamari dishes—will remain. Other dishes will change frequently, based on what’s available from local farms and from Seafood @ West Main. There’s a new cocktail list, and he’s working with a few wine distributors on regular wine dinners. He’s also toying with the idea of having a pop-up speakeasy in the upstairs space that held a speakeasy a few years ago. “It’s a cool room up there,” Humphrey says of the secretive spot that, much like his grandmother’s hallway closet, might hold a plethora of delights. “I think that could be fun.”

s a kid, Chris Humphrey spent a lot of time at his grandmother’s home on Belmont Avenue. The small house was the hub for the entire family—there was never fewer than 15 people there at a time, Humphrey remembers—and his grandmother was always cooking for everyone: beef stew, onion gravy, mac ’n’ cheese. Humphrey, who had severe asthma and couldn’t play football in the yard with his cousins, spent a lot of that time at his grandmother’s side, in the kitchen, watching cooking shows on PBS and picking vegetables from the garden. Humphrey’s grandmother would pickle and can what she didn’t use right away and stow the jars of bread-and-butter pickles and other delights in the hallway closet. After cooking in restaurants all over town, including Bizou, Bang!, Maya and the nowshuttered Higher Grounds, Metropolitan and Station, and serving as head chef at Rapture for five and a half years, Humphrey has his own restaurant. He and his wife, Sarah, have bought Fellini’s #9 from longtime owner Jacie Dunkle. “There’s something about it that’s always drawn me to it,” Humphrey says of Fellini’s. “I like the dining room, and I like what Jacie has done [with it]. She’s built a Charlottesville icon of sorts.” Dunkle, who owned and ran Fellini’s for years before selling it to Justin Butler and Chad and Melissa Ragland in June 2015, bought the restaurant back in August 2016 with the intention of selling it again later— Dunkle also owns Tin Whistle and The Salad Maker, and says she didn’t want to run

Pot bellied When pets get into marijuana By Mike Fietz, DVM living@c-ville.com
I
’m suspicious right away. His dilated pupils don’t seem focused on anything in particular, and his usually chipper demeanor has been replaced with a vacant haze unmoored from time and space. His head lists to one side before jerking back to center, like a student fighting to stay awake in a lecture. His eyes squint tight against the beam from my penlight, and he’s startled by the slightest touch. If dogs could giggle, he’d probably do that too. Clinically speaking, my patient is high as a kite. And that’s good news! Marijuana is pretty benign as far as toxins go, although animals do have a tendency to eat all of what they find, baking themselves well beyond a pleasant buzz. Dogs, in particular, will indulge to the point that symptoms can linger for several days. These patients often need hospitalized support, but it’s typically a matter of keeping them warm and hydrated for their return trip to Earth. With only the rarest exception, they’ll be completely fine. The biggest challenge in these cases isn’t the treatment. Although prevailing attitudes about marijuana have relaxed in recent years, it’s still a trick getting people to admit
Marijuana toxicity in pets can be resolved fairly easily, so it’s best to come clean if your pet consumes your stash.
what happened. Perhaps they’re embarrassed or afraid of being judged. Perhaps it’s fear of legal repercussions. Regardless, it’s a bad time for reticence because we really need to know. If it’s not pot, then the remaining possible causes are all significantly worse. There’s no sense wasting time and money on unnecessary diagnostics and treatment if the problem can be sorted with a conversation. If you ever find yourself in this situation, please level with your veterinarian at the outset. Not only is your vet likely to be un-
fazed, she’ll probably be relieved. And even if your vet is a card-carrying buzzkill, anything discussed in that exam room is confidential. Laws vary state to state, but here in Virginia, “revealing confidences” is regulated as unprofessional conduct. You’re safe to speak freely. Whether used recreationally or medically, the presence of marijuana is a fact of life in many homes. And assuming laws gradually catch up with reality, it’s going to become more common. As a veterinarian, I hope to one day see the various benefits of
cannabis become part of my toolbox (properly dosed, of course). But as pot grows more prevalent, so will cases of toxicity. It’s not the worst thing that can happen, but keep those stashes well out of reach. And if precautions fail, it’s okay. Get to the vet, for sure. But, in this case, honesty is a huge part of the antidote. Dr. Mike Fietz is a small-animal veterinarian at Georgetown Veterinary Hospital. He received his veterinary degree from Cornell University in 2003 and has lived in Charlottesville since.

By Rob Brezsny
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Simon & Garfunkel released their first album in October 1964. It received only a modest amount of airplay. The two musicians were so discouraged that they stopped working together. Then Tom Wilson, Bob Dylan’s producer, got permission to remix “The Sounds of Silence,” a song on the album. He added rock instruments and heavy echo to Simon & Garfunkel’s folk arrangement. When the tune was rereleased in September 1965, it became a huge hit. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I suspect you’re now at a point comparable to the time just before Wilson discovered the potential of “The Sounds of Silence.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Consider how hard it is to change yourself,” wrote author Jacob M. Braude, “and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.” Ninety-nine percent of the time, I’d advise you and everybody else to surrender to that counsel as if it were an absolute truth. But I think you Sagittarians will be the exception to the rule in the coming weeks. More than usual, you’ll have the power to change yourself. And if you succeed, your self-transformations will be likely to trigger interesting changes in people around you. Here’s another useful tip, also courtesy of Braude: “Behave like a duck. Keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle like the devil underneath.”
October 18 – 24, 2017 c-ville.com

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1969, two earthlings walked on the moon for the first time. To ensure that astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed there and returned safely, about 400,000 people labored and cooperated for many years. I suspect that in the coming months, you may be drawn to a collaborative project that’s not as ambitious as NASA’s, but nevertheless fueled by a grand plan and a big scope. And according to my astrological calculations, you will have even more ability than usual to be a driving force in such a project. Your power to inspire and organize group efforts will be at a peak.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I predict your ambitions will burn more steadily in the coming months, and will produce more heat and
LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A woman I know, Caeli La, was thinking about relocating from Denver to Brooklyn. She journeyed across country and visited a prime neighborhood in her potential new headquarters. Here’s what she reported on her Facebook page: “In the last three days, I’ve seen three different men on separate occasions wearing sundresses. So this is definitely the right place for me.” What sort of signs and omens would tell you what you need to do to be in the right place at the right time, Libra? I urge you to be on the lookout for them in the coming weeks. Life will be conspiring to provide you with clues about where you can feel at peace, at home and in the groove. light than ever before. You’ll have a clearer conception of exactly what it is you want to accomplish, as well as a growing certainty of the resources and help you’ll need to accomplish it. Hooray and hallelujah! But keep this in mind, Aquarius: As you acquire greater access to meaningful success—not just the kind of success that merely impresses other people—you’ll be required to take on more responsibility. Can you handle that? I think you can.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): What’s your top conspiracy theory? Does it revolve around the Illuminati, the occult group that is supposedly plotting to abolish all nations and create a world government? Or does it involve the stealthy invasion by extraterrestrials who are allegedly seizing mental control over human political leaders and influencing them to wage endless war and wreck the environment? Or is your pet conspiracy theory more personal? Maybe you secretly believe, for instance, that the difficult events you experienced in the past were so painful and debilitating that they will forever prevent you from fulfilling your fondest dream. Well, Pisces, I’m here to tell you that whatever conspiracy theory you most tightly embrace is ready to be disproven once and for all. Are you willing to be relieved of your delusions?
Aries (March 21-April 19): “I am my own muse,” wrote painter Frida Kahlo. “I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.” Would you consider trying out this perspective for a while, Aries? If so, you might generate a few ticklish surprises. You may be led into mysterious areas of your psyche that had previously been off-limits. You could discover secrets you’ve been hiding from yourself. So what would it mean to be your own muse? What exactly would
you do? Here are some examples. Flirt with yourself in the mirror. Ask yourself impertinent, insouciant questions. Have imaginary conversations with the person you were three years ago and the person you’ll be in three years.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): “Happiness comes from getting what you want,” said poet Stephen Levine, whereas joy comes “from being who you really are.” According to my analysis, the coming weeks will bear a higher potential for joy than for happiness. I’m not saying you won’t get anything you want. But I do suspect that focusing on getting what you want might sap energy from the venture that’s more likely to thrive: an unprecedented awakening to the truth of who you really are.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Sigmund Freud was a medical doctor who laid the groundwork for psychoanalysis. Throughout the 20th century, his radical, often outrageous ideas were a major influence on Western culture. When Freud was 50, he discovered a brilliant psychiatrist who would become his prize pupil: Carl Jung. When the two men first met in Vienna in 1907, they conversed without a break for 13 consecutive hours. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience a comparable immersion sometime soon: a captivating involvement with a new influence, a provocative exchange that enchants you, or a fascinating encounter that shifts your course.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): In the next 12 months, I hope to help you track down new pleasures and amusements that teach you more about what you want out of life. I will also be subtly reminding you that all the world’s a stage, and will advise you on how to raise your

self-expression to Oscar-worthy levels. As for romance, here’s my prescription between now and October 2018: The more compassion you cultivate, the more personal love you will enjoy. If you lift your generosity to a higher octave, there’ll be another perk, too: You will be host to an enhanced flow of creative ideas.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you interested in diving down to explore the mysterious and evocative depths? Would you be open to spending more time than usual cultivating peace and stillness in a sanctuary? Can you sense the rewards that will become available if you pay reverence to influences that nurture your wild soul? I hope you’ll be working on projects like these in the coming weeks, Leo. You’ll be in a phase when the single most important gift you can give yourself is to remember what you’re made of and how you got made.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Louisa May Alcott wrote a novel entitled A Long Fatal Love Chase, which was regarded as too racy to be published until a century after her death. “In the books I read, the sinners are more interesting than the saints,” says Alcott’s heroine, Rosamund, “and in real life people are dismally dull.” I boldly predict that in the coming months, Virgo, you won’t provide evidence to support Rosamund’s views. You’ll be even more interesting than you usually are, and will also gather more than your usual quota of joy and self-worth—but without having to wake up even once with your clothes torn and your head lying in a gutter after a night of forlorn debauchery.

Q&A What questions do you have for the six candidates running for the two open seats on City Council? What should be a higher priority: removing Confederate statues or improving public housing? DEWEY CORNELL/FACEBOOK
I would ask if they’re really willing to start listening to the community’s needs, specifically minorities and the people who live in neighborhoods that are being gentrified. They should hear from everyone who lives in Charlottesville, not just build more coffee shops and yoga studios.
Do you see accessibility for people with disabilities as a priority? @THEMILNERD/TWITTER
Describe in detail the childhood trauma you endured that made you bat-shit crazy enough to actually want to be on City Council. JUSTIN BEIGHTS/FACEBOOK
What specific strategies/actions (not just comments and words) do you propose that will contribute to unity in the city? ANITA SHOWERS/FACEBOOK
I would ask them what they would do to improve the city as far as the recent violence we’ve been having, and even down to the smaller issues like parking downtown. JOHN SUITT
Should the statue issue come up for a vote again, how will they vote? Will they commit to building 1,000 units of affordable housing next year for people making 30 percent of AMI? Would they consider issuing a bond to build and refurbish public housing? How does white supremacy influence specific policy in Charlottesville?
Should Alb-Cville be one unified government or should we continue duplicitous positions, buildings, etc. in our geographic anomaly/ donut?
