THIS WEEK

“During that first ascent into the canopy, I ecstatically came eyeball to eyeball with creatures I had never imagined,” writes Meg Lowman in the preface to her book, The Arbornaut. “I marveled at a handsome black-snouted weevil sucking leaf juices, elegant colorful pollinators flitting between vine flowers, giant bird-nest ferns that gave sanctuary to ants, and thousands upon thousands of my favorite things: leaves.” Like so many excellent books, Lowman’s nonfiction account of her scientific explorations in the treetops transports readers to an entirely new world—in this

case, the world right above our heads. The Arbornaut is among the books featured at this year’s Virginia Festival of the Book, which kicks off March 16 (p. 18). The lineup will take you from the forest canopy, to the fantasy realm of Awara, to the coastal plains of Mississippi and beyond. So crack a spine already.—Ben Hitchcock

The moment a researcher detects the gene responsible for glioblastoma. We were made for this moment. The moment a neurosurgeon takes this discovery and begins researching the use of focused ultrasound and a drug therapy to create sound waves that attack brain tumor cells but leave healthy parts of the brain untouched. It’s just part of what makes UVA Health Cancer Center Virginia’s Only Comprehensive Cancer Center as designated by the National Cancer Institute. Because when you combine the brightest minds, the most experienced teams and the latest research in the fight against your cancer, you’ve given yourself the best chance of beating it.

Wheeling and dealing

Democrats in the legislature denied Andrew Wheeler, a former Trump admin EPA leader, an environmental policy post in Governor Glenn Youngkin’s cabinet earlier this year, citing Wheeler’s history as former coal lobbyist. The Youngkin administration instead decided to hire Wheeler as a “senior adviser.”

For future generations Third Act, a group of self-identified “old and bold” activists held a rally outside Chase Bank on the Corner this week, demanding the bank pull fossil-fuel development funding. The environmentally-minded seniors, who at one point laid on the ground, spent the afternoon chanting and holding signs.

decent quality looks, we didn’t hit them,” Bennett reflected after the team’s loss to UNC—a fitting summary of the season as a whole. The Hoos will host Mississippi State in the first round of the 32-team undercard National Invitational Tournament on Wednesday. The Cavaliers last qualified for the NIT in 2013, and lost to Iowa in the quarterfinals. Virginia has won the NIT twice, in 1992 and 1980. “The margin of error for this team was probably a little smaller than most, and I think they did a pretty good job most of the year. But it stings right now,” Bennett said.

The executive director of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents penned a letter to the Youngkin administration calling for changes to the way the Virginia Department of Education has been operating since the new gov took over. The superintendents association “disagrees with your assumption that discriminatory and divisive concepts have become widespread in Virginia school divisions,” reads the letter from Howard Kiser. The association also calls for the elimination of the tip line, an early Youngkin initiative that allowed parents to report the teaching of “divisive concepts” to the state. The Youngkin admin’s education policies “can set public education in Virginia back many years,” the letter states.

irginia’s men’s basketball team, three years removed from a national championship, failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament when the brackets were announced on Sunday. (To make matters worse, Virginia Tech won the ACC Tournament and qualified as an 11-seed.) It’s the first time the Cavaliers have missed the tourney since 2013, a rare down year in the gilt-edged Tony Bennett era. The 2022 team boasted Virginia’s signature tough defense, but displayed shocking ineptitude on offense, averaging 47 points per game across two ACC Tournament appearances. “When we did get some

The number of new COVID cases in the Charlottesville area is as low as it’s been in months. From March 4 to March 10, Charlottesville and Albemarle combined saw 67 new cases. The Blue Ridge Health District reports that the latest seven-day rolling average for new cases per day is 9.6, the lowest it’s been at any point in the last six months. UVA reported just six new cases between February 27 and March 6, down from the peak in late January, which saw up to 130 cases reported in a single day. Forty-four percent of city residents, and 46 percent of county residents, have received two vaccinations and the COVID booster.

The jail’s leadership has begun taking steps to improve the 46-year-old facility, which serves the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle and Nelson counties. Jail Superintendent Martin Kumer and Moseley Architects are in the process of presenting the renovation plan to member jurisdictions. In addition to upgrading and replacing the jail’s HVAC units, electric systems, lighting, and air filtration, the renovation will create a dedicated mental health unit, outdoor recreation space, and larger visitation area. The upgrades will add more classrooms, programming space, administrative offices, toilets, and showers. The jail’s housing areas will also be expanded and revamped with stress-reducing colors, more natural sunlight, and sound-deadening materials, explained Tony Bell of Moseley Architects during last week’s Charlottesville City Council meeting. “The measures that will be taken to induce a more trauma-informed designed facility [include] removal of all of the bar grate,” said Bell. “Right now, the windows that open onto the majority of the day rooms are approximately 10 feet from the actual detainees…By removing the bar grate, it will allow [them] to go up next to and receive some direct sunlight from those windows.” Currently, the older portions of the jail do not allow staff to directly supervise the population. The renovations will remove walls between inmates and staff, which Bell said can help to improve relationships and decrease conflicts. The renovations will not increase the jail’s capacity, which is currently 329 peo-

ple. After conducting a needs assessment— which examined crime trends, criminal justice reforms, and other factors in the three localities—jail leadership determined that the facility’s population would not increase substantially in the future. In January, the jail’s population was 265 people, the lowest it had been in 20 years, in part because efforts to prevent the spread of COVID increased the prevalence of home electronic incarceration—house arrest via ankle monitor. “Right now is a great time for this construction and renovations project because your population is so low,” said Bell. “You can vacate day rooms, renovate those day rooms when they’re vacated, and move those detainees back into [them] upon the completion of the renovation.” The renovation is expected to cost about $49 million. The state will contribute $12.5 million, and the three localities that use the facility will be on the hook for the rest. Before the renovation can move forward, each member jurisdiction must pass a resolution in favor of the project, and the General Assembly has to sign off on the state funding allocation. Construction is expected to begin in August 2024 and finish in November 2025. Jail leadership ultimately hopes improving the rundown facility will promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism. “One of the things that I try to tell folks who say, ‘gee we should be cutting the police and jail budget,’ is don’t think that doing it right is cheaper than doing it wrong,” said Mayor Lloyd Snook. “This would give us the ability to take things away from the purely punitive model, towards more nearly a rehabilitation model.” In response to calls from community members to abolish prisons, Kumer claimed that renovating the jail is the only way getting rid of it would be “remotely feasible” in the future. “Investing in the facility is conducive to just that—reducing crime,” he said. Council is expected to pass a resolution authorizing the renovations by September.

irginia’s General Assembly session ended its regularly scheduled 60day run on Saturday. The work of the legislature is far from over, however—the divided assembly has not yet agreed on a state budget and has left a number of bills on the table. Once the budget is complete, a special session can be held later in the year to continue ironing out the remaining bills. For the moment, let’s take a look at some notable bills the six state delegates and senators who represent Charlottesville and Albemarle have been able to pass so far. Delegate Rob Bell (R) was the chief patron of a bill aimed at limiting the amount of information law enforcement has to turn over under the Freedom of Information Act. The bill passed with broad Republican support and a handful of Democrats, including both Deeds and Hudson, on board as well. The bill means criminal investigative files can’t be disclosed to requesters unless the requesters are family of the victim or an attorney petitioning for the accused party’s innocence. The bill had been opposed by the Virginia Press Association and the Virginia Coalition for Open Government, but supported by the families of Hannah Graham and Morgan Harrington. Delegate Matt Fariss (R) put forward a bill to increase the penalty for stealing a catalytic converter from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony, increasing the potential penalty to one to five years in prison. Fariss’ bill was tabled in the House, but the Rustburg delegate was a sponsor on a very similar bill from Bell that did make it through. The bill passed the Senate unanimously but was more controversial in the House, where it advanced 57-38.

Delegate Sally Hudson (D) was the chief patron of more than two dozen bills, but almost all were squashed in the Republican-controlled House, including bills to fund school renovation via local sales taxes and to allow localities to conduct local elections through ranked-choice voting. She was the chief co-patron of two unanimously passed bills that will make hospital pricing more transparent. Like Hudson, Delegate Chris Runion (R) had some tough sledding in the divided legislature—his bills to tighten ballot access and weaken civilian police oversight bodies passed the Republican House but died in Democrat-controlled Senate committees. Runion was the chief patron of a unanimously approved bill requiring the state’s Department of General Services to prioritize purchasing recycled plastic when it acquires plastic for use by state agencies. Senator Creigh Deeds (D) was the chief patron of a bill that bans health care providers from collecting debt from patients until after the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund, a state program to help victims with medical expenses, has had a chance to decide if those patients are eligible for relief. The bill comes the year after UVA hospital received national negative attention for its aggressive bill collection practices. Deeds’ bill passed the Senate 24-15, with much of the Republican caucus opposing, but passed the House 91-7. Senator Bryce Reeves (R) proposed multiple bills aimed at loosening gun laws. His initiative to allow concealed carry without a permit was killed in a Senate committee, but he did pass a bill declaring that retired law enforcement officers can purchase service weapons without undergoing a criminal background check. The bill passed the Senate unanimously and the House 61-37.

which is a loss of 660 acres of canopy in a period of fourteen years. What is worse, the rate of loss is increasing over time, and the actual canopy in 2021 may be closer to 35%, meaning a loss of nearly 990 acres in less than two decades. The canopy decline across all neighborhoods is most detrimental to those with the lowest coverage, generally low-income neighborhoods.

Branching out

Urban Tree Canopy – A Charlottesville opy is essential for By Brielle Entzminger s for public health; energy reporter@c-ville.com

loses more tree canopy

CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

I

The above map shows the amount of tree canopy lost in the city from 2004 to 2018.

Development is the main factor behind the tree loss, the commission says. As the city continues to build new housing for its growing population, more and more trees— often with large canopies—are cut down, and never replaced. Storms, like January’s massive snowstorm, can bring down tons of trees, too. Then there’s the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that feeds on and

lays its eggs in the bark of ash trees, ultimately killing the tree. Over the past few years, Charlottesville Parks & Rec has treated 30 of the city’s important ash trees, but will need to remove about 300 over the next five years. The Tree Commission hopes to see more investment in the canopy. Lack of funding means the city has not met its annual goal

“We want the [city zoning rewrite] to be a much stronger document, and require more new trees.” PEGGY VAN YAHRES, TREE COMMISSION

n 2004, Charlottesville’s tree canopy covered 50 percent of the city. In 2018, it covered just 40 percent of the city— meaning the city has lost one-fifth of its total tree cover. Eleven of Charlottesville’s 18 neighborhoods—including North Downtown, Woolen Mills, Belmont, Martha Jefferson, and Fifeville—now have below 40 percent canopy cover, according to the city Tree Commission’s latest annual report. That has real effects on the people who live in town. “Low canopy neighborhood means that there’s more space that has no shade and therefore more solar radiation coming down, hitting the pavement, pavement heats up, and then you have these heat-island effects,” explains commission vice-chair Jeffrey Aten. With very few trees nearby to absorb sunlight, low canopy-neighborhoods experience much higher temperatures, making it harder to breathe. Heat can also worsen diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, and mental health issues. The effects aren’t evenly spread. Thanks to racist redlining practices, historically Black neighborhoods Starr Hill and 10th & Page have below 20 percent tree canopy—making them up to 30 degrees hotter than their higher-canopy counterparts, and bringing higher energy bills in the summer. “We’re anticipating that if the trends that were from 2004 to 2018 continue into these next few years…we’ll continue to see that drop in canopy,” says Aten. The current canopy is estimated to be around 35 percent. The commission’s goal is to have at least 50 percent average tree canopy across the city, with each neighborhood having at least 30 percent canopy.

of planting 200 trees for five years in a row. Last year, it only planted 23 trees, mainly in parks and public right-of-ways. And over the past five years, it’s planted an average of 108 per year. The city manager’s proposed FY23 budget includes $75,000 for tree planting and $105,000 for removing ash trees. The commission hopes the final budget will allocate at least $100,000 for planting. Some community members are taking the problem into their own hands. Last year, the Tree Commission and Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards—in partnership with City of Promise—founded ReLeaf Cville to educate homeowners on the importance of tree canopy, and provide them with free trees. Since the fall, the volunteer group has planted 14 trees in 10th & Page. This month, the city’s utilities department—in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation—is also providing 200 free trees to customers. For future developments, the commission hopes the city will increase tree requirements, and require builders to pay fines for removing or damaging public trees. “We want the [city zoning rewrite] to be a much stronger document, and require more new trees, protection of our existing trees, and enforcement if a developer damages a tree,” says commission chair Peggy Van Yahres. The commission also encourages the city to create a natural resources manager position in the Neighborhood Development Services department. “They just would be able to give the Planning Commission or staff certain environmental assessments as these projects are developed,” says Van Yahres, “[so] it becomes a part of the decision making—it’s not an afterthought.”

Meg Lowman

John W. Reid

From the top Seeing the forest and the trees

H

ow do you get people to appreciate, value, and protect creatures and ecosystems they have never seen? Two authors approach this challenge from different but complementary perspectives at a panel called Seeing Trees, Saving the Great Forests. Dr. Meg Lowman’s mission is to have people take another look at trees—specifically, the complex and fascinating ecosystem in their crowns. A career biologist and forest ecologist, Lowman has earned the nickname “Canopy Meg” for her pioneering work using hot air balloons, drones, and rope walkways to study this previously inaccessible world. Much like Dr. Suzanne Simard, whose research in the forests of British Columbia helped uncover the fungal-based ecosystems beneath the trees, Lowman’s work reveals the rich biodiversity in the treetops. “We only see the part of a tree that’s near us,” she says. “We don’t see what’s in the top of the tree—about half of the species in the world live only in the forest canopy—until we cut it down.” Lowman has written several popular science books about the forest canopy (because “trees don’t have a voice,” she notes). But she hopes her latest book, the autobiographical The Arbornaut: A Life Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us, will also reach and inspire girls to follow careers in science and ecology. For that reason, Lowman says, she deliberately ended the book on a note of hope. We can learn to value and preserve our forests, she

believes, “and find ways to translate our knowledge into positive action.” In Ever Green: Saving Big Forests to Save the Planet, John W. Reid takes a more global approach, bringing in his own background in environmental economics and policy. Reid and his co-author, noted biologist Thomas E. Lovejoy, had been discussing for years how the Earth’s great mega forests— in Siberia, North America, the Amazon, the Congo, and New Guinea—needed to be managed as individual ecosystems. Reid “was frustrated at economics not knowing how to value these big forests—it can only value things as products in a market, by taking them apart.” In 2019, Reid and Lovejoy co-authored a New York Times op-ed that developed into this book. Reid is careful to say that the mega forests “are not more important than the forests out your back door.” But these large, continuous expanses have an outsize influence on water cycles, carbon cycles, weather and climate, biodiversity, and wildlife migratory patterns. And, as one of the last places for surviving indigenous peoples, they are “a template for us to learn how to live with our environment.” Moderator Michelle Nijhuis, an environmental and science journalist (as her website says, “writing about humans and other species”), will help these two authors explore their common themes, as well as the threats—biological and human—to our forests. In Reid’s words, “it’s a truism that you love what you know. But it’s a truism because it’s true. There’s different ways of knowing; being there is the most powerful,” but he cites the examples of Jacques Cousteau and popular nature programs in exposing the wider public to the world’s wonders. Lowman mentions Jane Goodall in the same way, as someone who has drawn the natural and human worlds closer. Perhaps the well-known saying should be re-written: You can’t save the forest unless you see the trees.— Seeing Trees, Saving the Great Forests is a virtual event held on March 16. Carol Diggs

Beautiful ugly places Three authors examine their Southern roots

S

Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward describes the Gulf Coast humidity as “a warm embrace,” and says the area “helps me keep a sense of urgency in my work.” She hopes at least one of her children will remain in a place “that I love more than I loathe.” Perry’s ancestors never left Alabama. She’s a scholar of law, and literary and cultural studies, studied at Yale, Harvard, and Georgetown, grew up in Cambridge and now lives in Philadelphia, but considers Alabama a core part of her identity. She says the most virulent racism she experienced was in Boston during school busing. Perry sees the South as scapegoated. “This country was made with the shame of slavery, poverty, and White supremacy blazoned across it as a badge of dishonor. To sustain a heroic selfconcept, it has inevitably been deemed necessary to distance ‘America’ from the embarrassment over this truth. And so the South, the seat of race in the United States, was turned on, out, and into this country’s gully,” she writes. In “My Monticello,” Johnson’s protagonist is a UVA student and descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings who flees violent white supremacists in a JAUNT bus to Monticello. Johnson was in Charlottesville during August 2017, and the novella “absolutely was influenced by August 12,” she says. Her story “Control Negro” was a reaction to ABC officers slamming a Black UVA student to the ground on the Corner in 2015, an incident that made her realize, “That could be my kid or someone I knew.” “I think for Charlottesville audiences, there’s a lot that will resonate with what we’re grappling with now—outside perceptions of us and the stories we tell ourselves that don’t exactly align,” says Reid. Charlottesville’s former mayor Nikuyah Walker and vice-mayor Holly Edwards both have referred to the city as a “beautiful ugly” place, which Reid says is something a lot of Black southerners understand. “I see beauty and ugliness,” says Reid. “It’s not one or the other.” At this event, that description is not just applicable to the South. “Beautiful ugly” is an American story.—Lisa Provence

outhern landscapes can evoke images of magnolias, Spanish moss, or Billie Holiday’s strange fruit. Those perceptions of the South as a beautiful but benighted part of the country bring three Black writers with deep Southern roots to the Virginia Festival of the Book March 19. “...[T]his landscape made me a writer,” says Ralph Eubanks in A Place Like Mississippi: A Journey Through a Real and Imagined Literary Landscape, which explores the Magnolia State’s rich legacy of literary greats, from William Faulkner and Eudora Welty to Richard Wright and Jesmyn Ward. “It is the beauty of the land mixed with the state’s complex history that inspires and perplexes its writers,” he says. Eubanks will be joined by Birmingham-born Imani Perry, professor of African American studies at Princeton. Perry journeyed south to consider the region with fresh eyes in her book, South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation. And panelist Jocelyn Nicole Johnson, a Charlottesville resident, sets her acclaimed short story collection, My Monticello, in a central Virginia landscape very familiar to local residents. Panel moderator Justin Reid, Virginia Humanities director of community initiatives, notes the panel’s commonalities: “Our experiences being Black in the South, loving a place that doesn’t always love you back, and being protective of it.” Another theme: that the racism and poverty attributed to the South are symptoms of the entire nation. Eubanks was born in the Piney Woods coastal plains of Mississippi, and he’s written two memoirs, including Ever Is a Long Time: A Journey Into Mississippi’s Dark Past, which Washington Post critic Jonathan Yardley called one of the best nonfiction books of 2003. His career spans publishing—the Library of Congress’ director of publishing and a stint as editor of Virginia Quarterly Review—academia, and journalism. He’s currently a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard. And yet, there’s always Mississippi. “What I realized in returning was how much of my imagination was threaded together in Mississippi, so much so that it affected the way I looked at the entire world,” he writes. The book’s title refers to a quote often attributed to Faulkner: “To understand the world, you must first understand a place Panelists will discuss like Mississippi.” Southern Landscapes: His latest book documents the many, many MisReal and Imagined sissippi writers—far more than you might have on March 19 at The realized—and their regions of the state.

Righting wrongs The ways we fight for justice

I

n 1968, two doctors at the Medical College of Virginia performed one of the first heart transplants in the United States—unbeknowst to the man whose heart was transplanted. In The Organ Thieves: The Shocking Story of the First Heart Transplant in the Segregated South, journalist Chip Jones peels back the layers of the entire saga, documenting the uncontested power of the “gods in white coats” and the decades of ignoring—and exploiting—Black Virginians. Jones will discuss his work, along with two other panelists, at the book fest’s Fighting for Justice: When Our Institutions Do Not Serve event. The Organ Thieves opens with Richmond attorney L. Douglas Wilder (who later became Virginia’s first Black governor) being hired by William Tucker to find out why the body of his brother Bruce, who had gone to the MCV emergency room with a head injury that proved fatal, was missing his heart. From there, Jones unravels how white privilege, human hubris, and Virginia’s long history of using Black bodies for “scientific advancement” ignored one man’s rights and his family’s heartbreak. The story sheds light on why many in the Black community today still distrust the white medical establishment. “This is a book about ethics,” says Jones, “and about how there has to be someone who says, ‘No, this is wrong.’” The session’s moderator, Kristen Green, has examined injustice with both a reporter’s clarity and a personal perspective: Her book, Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County, recounts how the Virginia community where Green grew up closed its public schools to avoid desegregating them. Dr. Benjamin Gilmer took on injustice himself, and the story of that battle enthralled more

than 15 million listeners on a recent episode of NPR’s “This American Life.” In his book The Other Dr. Gilmer: Two Men, A Murder, and an Unlikely Fight for Justice, two coincidences— Gilmer’s last name and his training in neurobiology—lead him into a 12-year fight to right the wrongs done to one man by the justice system, the prison system, and our society’s misunderstanding of mental illness. When a small North Carolina family practice hired Gilmer to replace Dr. Vince Gilmer (imprisoned after confessing to a gruesome patricide), he found a community still confused by the inexplicable actions of a man they had respected. Ben suspected Vince might have been misdiagnosed and sent to prison rather than to psychiatric care, and once experts confirmed Ben’s suspicions, he found our institutions—and

Benjamin Gilmer

the people who run them—were reluctant to correct their mistakes. “I didn’t understand these institutions [when I first got involved],” Ben says. “Law enforcement and the incarceration system are designed to punish, not to treat.” He says once Vince was correctly diagnosed, “I was naively hopeful to have the [prison] sentence reversed—and the exact opposite happened.” It took 10 years, with the help of NPR journalist Sarah Koenig, and this book to get Vince transferred to a psychiatric facility for treatment. Why would Ben Gilmer take up the fight for a man he didn’t know and had never met? He cites his upbringing, his stint as a Schweitzer fellow in West Africa, and his commitment as a physician. More simply, once he was drawn in, he says, “I couldn’t just walk away.”—Carol Diggs

Unfair advantage Rethinking capitalism and freedom

borers traded with students at UVA and made money doing “odd jobs” for students and faculty, Hill Edwards says. Hill Edwards hopes to challenge readers’ understanding of the relationship between freedom and capitalism, and make them think about how capitalism affects their own lives and society. “Especially in the American context, we often think that democracy and capitalism and freedom kind of go together necessarily, but if we look at those topics through the lens, through the experiences of the enslaved, I think that we get a different understanding of what that relationship was,” she says.

Modern magic Traci Chee blazes a new path in the fantasy genre

From Charlottesville author Wendy Zomparelli comes a historical novel about a young Englishwoman who yearns to contribute to the archeological finds of the 1820s. Determined to travel to Pompeii, she saves her wages as a companion and eventually assembles a small party of ladies to travel with her. But the road from London to Italy proves to be dangerous for women, despite their faith in a changing world.

or a genre that’s supposed to blow past the boundaries of what’s imaginable, fantasy can be predictable. The genre historically suffers from a lack of diversity on all fronts, and features a plethora of common tropes rooted in racist and sexist ideologies. (And some fans like it that way: When the cast of Amazon’s “The Rings of Power” was announced, the showrunners weathered a barrage of complaints that racial diversity was inauthentic to Tolkien’s made-up world.) Traci Chee is part of a new generation of writers changing the landscape of the genre. Her latest young adult novel, A Thousand Steps Into Night, takes place in the Japanese-influenced world of Awara, and follows an ordinary girl, Miuko, as she embarks on a quest to reverse a curse that transforms her into a demon. It’s a fun story full of magic, demons, and adventure that also invites reflection on real-world problems. “One of my favorite parts about writing fantasy is that you can pull together a lot of different inspirations and creative impulses,” says Chee. “[It’s] both a fun folk-tale road trip through a Japanese-influenced fantasy world populated by all manner of demons and spirits, and also an interrogation of American patriarchy and the many insidious ways that sexism manifests in our everyday lives, from microaggressions to social ostracization to violence.” Dreaming up a whole new world wasn’t enough for Chee—she took things a step further by creating her own original folklore and language. She developed a syllabary, glossary, and basic grammar for the language of Awara, which includes gender-neutral pronouns (hei/heisu). As for the folklore, Chee was inspired by the Japanese children’s stories of her childhood. “I had so much fun daydreaming up bits of humble magic—like tree goblins that live in wood beams and shapeshifting magpie spirits obsessed with shiny things,” says Chee. “My favorite creature is actually one that almost got cut!” The tskemyorona, or heebie-jeebie spirit, is a centipede-like creature with fireflies for eyes. If you just got a chill up your spine—sorry! A Thousand Steps Into Night is fantasy for the young adults of today—and everyone else who reads YA (it’s never too late to start). It’s dark yet playful, creative, and takes readers along on Miuko’s journey of self-discovery, transformation, and growth. “I think there’s something so compelling about being a teenager—it’s such a fascinating time, when you’re figuring out so much about yourself and about the world and about who you want to be and what kind of a world you want to make,” says Chee. “What a privilege to be able to write about that.” In A Thousand Steps Chee will discuss A Thousand Steps Into Night on Into Night, Traci Chee March 16 at 7pm, and her acclaimed novel, We Are creates a fantastical Not Free, on March 17 at 7pm.

From Suzanne Stern, who co-founded famed craft brew trailblazer New Albion Brewing Company but was shoved from the spotlight by the surly Jack McAuliffe, to women like Roether, who all too often cede recognition to the burly bearded brewers of today, circumstances have conspired to keep women out of craft beer’s halo. And while that’s not right, Nurin thinks things may be changing. “With craft brewing, we are finally seeing a reversal and women reentering the industry,” she says. “The more women who do reenter the industry, the more accepted and mainstream women being in beer will be. And I think that will encourage other women to get into beer and break down some of these stereotypes that Libby hears all the time, like ‘do you know anything about beer?’ That is just the beginning of misogyny.” Tara Nurin will discuss her book, A Woman’s Place is in the Brewhouse: A Forgotten History of Alewives, Brewsters, Witches and CEOs, with Devils Backbone Brewing Co. brewmaster Libby Roether at Reading Under the Influence, a virtual discussion held on March 18 at 8pm.—Shea Gibbs

March 18, 7pm | Jefferson School African American Heritage Center Kellye Garrett is a pro at brainstorming ways to commit murder. The crime writer worked in Hollywood for eight years, writing for the CBS drama “Cold Case” and observing all the interesting personalities that flock to the movie capital of America. Garrett’s writing has a captivating cinematic quality. Her Detective by Day series is humorous and light, filled with fun characters and fast-paced mysteries that make for a perfect weekend read. Her new novel, Like a Sister, is a darker whodunit, set in the modern world of social media influencers and reality TV stars. Desiree Pierce, a disgraced reality TV star, is found dead on a playground in the Bronx. The police and media call it an overdose and leave it at that, not interested in looking any further into the death of a Black woman. Desiree’s estranged half-sister, Lena Scott, knows something isn’t right, and embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth. Garrett deftly examines race, class, and gender in this authentic story about family, fame, and sisterhood. Join mystery authors Garrett, Naomi Hirahara (Clark and Division), and Alma Katsu (Red Widow) in person as they share their latest work. Each novel reveals different facets of American culture, and the heroines work to solve inexplicable deaths and long-hidden secrets.

Bodies in Space & Time: Identity in Sci-Fi & Speculative Fiction March 19, 2pm | Virtual event “One of my favorite types of writing is magical realism,” says author Ryka Aoki. “Others may have their definitions, but for me, magical realism is a style that highlights what is sublime about everyday living—then enhances it with a bit of magic or religion or even the stuff of nightmares.” In Aoki’s Light from Uncommon Stars, the mundane is made magical and the possibilities are endless. It’s a story about queer love, making deals with the devil, and alien donut makers. Shizuka Satomi is a renowned violin teacher who made a bargain to deliver seven souls to hell. She’s got one more left, and time is running out. Katrina Nguyen is a young trans runaway who finally made it to Los Angeles and escaped her violent father. Lan Tran is an alien refugee who runs a donut shop. These three lives collide in a story that’s both fantastically fun and staggeringly real in its depictions of transphobia, racism, and violence. Aoki’s deeply moving writing invites readers to understand the power of found families, music, and delicious donuts. Aoki, Micaiah Johnson (The Space Between Worlds), and Lincoln Michel (The Body Scout) discuss the explorations of race, gender, and identity posed in their science fiction and speculative fiction.—Maeve Hayden

Laura Gao was born in Wuhan, China. When she was 3 years old, she and her family immigrated to a small town in Texas. No one had heard of Wuhan. Until 2020, when COVID hit. “What used to be innocent confusion has been replaced with disgust and pity. However, I’m done hiding away this time,” writes Gao in her viral web comic, “The Wuhan I Know,” which addresses anti-Asian racism and gives insight into the culture, people, and history that she knows and loves. Messy Roots is Gao’s debut book— a coming-of-age graphic memoir that explores her identity as an Asian American and queer person, and gives readers an intimate, personal look at her hometown after it became famous for all the wrong reasons. Gao illustrates Wuhan with shades of buttery yellow, glowing orange, and earthy green—a stark contrast to the washed out browns of her Texas or the calm blues of San Francisco. “This is the Wuhan I knew. Infinite rice paddies…peaceful lily pad ponds…and my cousins and me, with no internet and too much energy.” Gao and author Courtney Cook (The Way She Feels: My Life on the Borderline in Pictures and Pieces) explore how growing up and living life is hard enough, let alone with the added spotlight of a pandemic or the effects of borderline personality disorder.

When Meredith Pangrace decided to go vegan as a teenager, her grandmother made sure she was still included at family dinners. “She didn’t judge me, didn’t criticize,” writes Pangrace in her new community cookbook, Rust Belt Vegan Kitchen, “and she lovingly accommodated my choice with extra servings of potatoes, pasta, and, of course, cabbage when I came for dinner.” Rust Belt Vegan Kitchen takes culinary favorites and staples of the Rust Belt and makes them accessible for vegans. A true community effort, the cookbook features recipes and stories from home chefs and professionals, including Dave Huffman of “Bitchy Vegan Homo” and Dustin Vanderburg of Vegan in the Hood. Inside, you’ll find recipes for desserts, hearty casseroles, party food favorites, and renowned regional dishes, including Cleveland-style Polish boys, Chicago deep dish pizza, Detroit-style coney dogs, Cincinnati chili, and more. “More than anything, this book is not going to criticize you for whatever choices you make in your diet,” writes Pangrace. “It will encourage you to open your mind and enter the Rust Belt Vegan Kitchen. Trust us, it’s a delicious place to be.” Pangrace shares a cooking demo of one of the recipes from this community cookbook of Rust Belt culinary favorites, updated for today’s vegan diet.

“I wanted the experience of listening to color theory to feel like finding a dusty old cassette tape that has become messed up over time, because that’s what this album is: an expression of all the things that have slowly degraded me personally,” says Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy. color theory is Allison’s sophomore album—a mid-tempo record driven by indie-rock and dream-pop beats under lulling melodies that are a front for dark, painful lyrics. For Allison, the album is a daring, unbridled self-portrait that examines mental health and familial struggles that have impacted her from childhood. $20-25, 8pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E.

At Lemongrass, Yoshihiro (pictured) and Yukiko Tauchi bring the know-how from their former posts, including Foods of All Nations and TEN.

By Erika Howsare

Y

oshihiro Tauchi is tough. When he developed back problems decades ago while butchering tuna at a New York fish company, his way of “taking it easy” was to switch to restaurant work. After he healed up he started his own fish company in Washington, D.C. That was only the beginning of his adventures in the U.S. Tauchi and his wife, Yukiko, arrived from Japan 36 years ago and have been working hard in the food world ever since. They’re warm and accommodating people with a wry sense of humor. As they tell the story of their intertwining careers, Yukiko often translates for Yoshihiro, and they finish each other’s sentences with the ease born of a long partnership. The two moved to Virginia in 1998 to help Foods of All Nations launch the concept of takeout sushi in Charlottesville. By the time the landmark restaurant TEN opened in 2006 on the Downtown Mall, Yoshihiro’s skills as a sushi chef were recognized enough around town that he was invited to come to TEN as a sous-chef. He spent nearly eight years in that renowned kitchen, while Yukiko stayed at Foods of All Nations. The couple dove back into entrepreneurship in 2013, buying the sushi spot in York Place then known as Miyako. The Tauchis changed the name to Kokoro—meaning “heart.” But Kokoro turned out to be a popular name, and the couple ended up on the wrong end of a trademark lawsuit. Ever resilient, they changed their name to “Mican”—a tribute to the Mandarin-type oranges popular in Yoshihiro’s hometown on the island of Shikoku—and served up a sophisticated menu of classic Japanese food, including sushi, donburi, and ramen. Their food earned glowing reviews.

It was hard going in that location, though—so close to the bustle of the mall, and yet oddly quiet. So when their friend Pham, the owner of the Thai favorite Lemongrass, got ready to retire in 2016, he proposed to the Tauchis that they might have an easier time in his well-placed Corner location. They bought Lemongrass and merged the two menus, Thai and Japanese. Pham thought they wouldn’t have to work so hard there. “But not true!” says Yoshihiro, laughing hard along with his wife as he continues the tale. For one thing, although Pham provided recipes, and one of the Lemongrass chefs stayed on to help, Yoshihiro had never cooked Thai food before. Even as he worked on learning this new cuisine, he faced new competition—the Charlottesville scene saw more and more Thai and other Asian restaurants opening all the time. And then COVID-19 came along, forcing them to survive on takeout only. The Tauchis just kept on weathering the storm, though, showing the same grit that’s carried them through so many challenges in the past. And things are looking up. “Business is getting better,” says Yukiko, now that in-house dining has returned. They’ve gotten to know their new customer base—largely made up of students, who tend to order pad Thai or panang curry more often than sushi or donburi. And they’ve figured out how to adapt those flavors to American tastes. “South Asian food has very strong fish flavors, but we changed that to be more mild,” says Yukiko. After 23 years in Charlottesville, these two are as much a part of the local scene as anyone. And they’re still bringing the deliciousness, one Volcano Roll at a time.

April 15 – Spring Dinner in the Vineyard w/Chef Walter Slawski and The Catering Outfit

2020 Viognier Barrel Select We have been waiting at Horton for all the factors to click into place to pull-out Dennis Horton’s original recipe for barrel select Viognier. 2020 may have been filled with obstacles but it was had some opportunities. When 2 rows of Viognier came in with the perfect numbers - we grabbed the opportunity and processed this Viognier with 12 hours of skin time. This can be very risky; the process needs to be constantly monitored and the winemaker needs to use a deft hand. we gathered all our resources including calling our winemaker from 30 years ago that did the original process with Dennis Horton - Alan Kinne. The results are breath taking!

AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION

When you receive a camp's brochure, you will invariably have questions for the camp director. From that first phone call or letter, you begin developing an impression of what a particular camp is like and how it's run. A camp may be described in nothing less than glowing terms in its brochures. The setting may be absolutely breathtaking. Activities may run the gamut from racquetball to modern dance. In the end, however, it's the human equation of how those activities are operated and conducted that determines the quality of the camp program. Get to know the camp director as a person through telephone conversations, correspondence, and a personal visit. Have the director describe the camp's philosophy and how it is carried out by the staff.

skills. However, other parents and educators are in favor of cooperative learning. Research has shown that noncompetitive methods encourage young people to learn more, retain it longer, and develop greater self-esteem and appreciation for others. Knowing your child's personality and style of learning is valuable in selecting the right camp.

ACA minimum standards recommend directors possess a bachelor's degree, have completed in-service training within the past three years, and have at least 16 weeks of camp administrative experience before assuming the responsibilities of director. What training do counselors receive? At a minimum, camp staff should be trained in safety regulations, emergency procedures and communica-

tion, behavior management tech- 37 niques, child abuse prevention, appropriate staff and camper behavior, and specific procedures for supervision. What is the counselor-to-camper ratio? ACA standards require different ratios for varying ages and special needs. Generally, the ratios at resident camps range from one staff for every six campers ages 7 and 8; one staff for every eight campers ages 9 to 14; and one staff for every 10 campers ages 15 to 18. At day camps the ratios range from one staff for

What is the camp director's background?

What is the camp's philosophy and program emphasis? Each camp has its own method of constructing programs based on its philosophy. Does it complement your own parenting philosophy? Many camps actively promote competition and healthy rivalry among camp teams, as reflected in team sports. For many campers this is pure fun.

every eight campers ages 6 to 8; one staff for every 10 campers ages 9 to 14; and one staff for every 12 campers ages 15 to 18. What are the ages of the counselors? ACA standards recommend that 80 percent or more of the counselor/ program staff be at least 18 years old. Staff must be at least 16 years old and be at least two years older than the campers with whom they work. What are desired qualities in camp staff? The same qualities of trustworthiness and dependability sought by any employer are valued commodities in camp employees. Also, the ability to adapt to a variety of situations, empathy for and ability to work with camp clientele, a strong self-image, and an outgoing personality are important characteristics for camp staff. What percentage of the counselors returned from last year? Most camps have from 40-60 percent returning staff. If the rate is lower, find out why. How are behavioral and disciplinary problems handled? This is where the director's philosophy comes through loud and clear. Positive reinforcement, assertive role-modeling and a sense of fair play are generally regarded as key components of camp counseling and leadership. Rules are necessary

in any organization, and the disciplinary approach taken should be reasonable and well communicated. If penalties are involved for violations, they should be applied quickly, fairly, calmly, and without undue criticism to campers.

39

How does the camp handle special needs? If your child has special requirements, ask the camp director about needed provisions and facilities. Is there a nurse on staff? A designated place to store insulin or allergy medicine? Are special foods available for campers with restricted diets? Every question is important. How does the camp handle homesickness and other adjustment issues? Again, the camp's philosophy on helping children adjust is important. Be sure you are comfortable with the camp's guidelines on parent/ child contact. What about references? This is generally one of the best ways to check a camp's reputation and service record. Directors should be happy to provide references. Is the camp accredited by the American Camp Association? Why? Why not? It is only logical that members of your family attend an ACA-accredited camp. Accreditation visitors ask the questions — up to 300 of them — regarding essential health, safety, and program quality issues important

to a camp's overall operation. This does not guarantee a risk-free environment, but it's some of the best evidence parents have of a camp's commitment to a safe and nurturing environment for their children.

A LIVE ARTS FUNDRAISING EXTRAVAGANZA


By Rob Brezsny

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Aries (March 21-April 19): Singer, dancer, and comedian Sammy Davis Jr. disliked the song “The Candy Man,” but he recorded it anyway, heeding his advisors. He spent just a brief time in the studio, finishing his vocals in two takes. “The song is going straight to the toilet,” he complained, “pulling my career down with it.” Surprise! It became the best-selling tune of his career, topping the Billboard charts for three weeks. I suspect there could be a similar phenomenon (or two!) in your life during the coming months, Aries. Don’t be too sure you know how or where your interesting accomplishments will arise.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): I love author Maya Angelou’s definition of high accomplishment, and I recommend you take steps to make it your own in the coming weeks. She wrote, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” Please note that in her view, success is not primarily about being popular, prestigious, powerful, or prosperous. I’m sure she wouldn’t exclude those qualities from her formula, but the key point is that they are all less crucial than self-love. Please devote quality time to refining and upgrading this aspect of your drive for success.

Gemini (May 21–June 20): “I’m not fake in any way,” declared Gemini actor Courteney Cox. On the face of it, that’s an amazing statement for a Gemini to make. After all, many in your tribe are masters of disguise and shapeshifting. Cox herself has won accolades for playing a wide variety of characters during her film and TV career, ranging from comedy to drama to horror. But let’s consider the possibility that, yes, you Geminis can be versatile, mutable, and mercurial, yet also authentic and genuine. I think this specialty of yours could and should be extra prominent in the coming weeks.

Cancer

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “Never underestimate the wisdom of being easily satisfied,” wrote aphorist Marty Rubin. If you’re open to welcoming such a challenge, Pisces, I propose that you work on being very easily satisfied during the coming weeks. See if you can figure out how to enjoy even the smallest daily events with blissful gratitude. Exult in the details that make your daily rhythm so rich. Use your ingenuity to deepen your capacity for regarding life as an ongoing miracle. If you do this right, there will be no need to pretend you’re having fun. You will vividly enhance your sensitivity to the ordinary glories we all tend to take for granted.

that, I’m not implying you should send out appeals to Baby Jesus. But I suggest you call on your imagination to help you figure out what influences may, in fact, boost your goodness. It’s an excellent time to seek help as you elevate your integrity, expand your compassion, and deepen your commitment to ethical behavior. It’s not that you’re deficient in those departments; just that now is your special time to do what we all need to do periodically: Make sure our actual behavior is in rapt alignment with our high ideals.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo classicist and author Edith Hamilton specialized in the history of ancient Greece. The poet Homer was one of the most influential voices of that world. Hamilton wrote, “An ancient writer said of Homer that he touched nothing without somehow honoring and glorifying it.” I love that about his work, and I invite you to match his energy in the coming weeks. I realize that’s a lot to ask. But according to my reading of the astrological omens, you will indeed have a knack for honoring and glorifying all you touch.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1634, English poet John Milton coined the phrase “silver lining.” It has become an idiom referring to a redemptive aspect of an experience that falls short of expectations. Over 350 years later, American author Arthur Yorinks wrote, “Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold.” Now I’m relaying his message to you. Hopefully, my heads-up will ensure that you won’t miss the silver lining for any reason, including the possibility that you’re fixated on gold.

Scorpio

Virgo

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “This is the most profound spiritual truth I know,” declares author Anne Lamott. “That even when we’re most sure that love can’t conquer all, it seems to anyway. It goes down into the rat hole with us, in the guise of our friends, and there it swells and comforts. It gives us second winds, third winds, hundredth winds.” Lamott’s thoughts will be your wisdom to live by during the next eight weeks, Scorpio. Even if you think you already know everything there is to know about the powers of love to heal and transform, I urge you to be open to new powers that you have never before seen in action.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Starhawk, one of my favorite witches, reminds us that “sexuality is the expression of the creative life force of the universe. It is not dirty, nor is it merely ‘normal’; it is sacred. And sacred can also be affectionate, joyful, pleasurable, passionate, funny, or purely animal.” I hope you enjoy an abundance of such lushness in the coming weeks, Virgo. It’s a favorable time in your astrological cycle for synergizing eros and spirituality. You have poetic license to express your delight about being alive with imaginative acts of sublime love.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Witty Sagittarian author Ashleigh Brilliant has created thousands of cheerful yet often sardonic epigrams. In accordance with current astrological omens, I have chosen six that will be useful for you to treat as your own in the coming weeks. 1. “I may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent.” 2. “I have abandoned my search for truth and am now looking for a good fantasy.” 3. “All I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power.” 4. “Do your best to

basics&beyond!

John A. Hancock

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19): “All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment,” wrote author Eudora Welty. That may seem like a simple and obvious statement, but in my view, it’s profound and revolutionary. Too often, we are inclined to conclude that a relatively unpleasant or inconvenient event has diminished us. And while it may indeed have drained some of our vitality or caused us angst, it has almost certainly taught us a lesson or given us insight that will serve us well in the long run—if only to help us avoid similar downers in the future. According to my analysis of your current astrological omens, these thoughts are of prime importance for you right now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life swarms with innocent monsters,” observed poet Charles Baudelaire. Who are the “innocent monsters”? I’ll suggest a few candidates. Boring people who waste your time but who aren’t inherently evil. Cute advertisements that subtly coax you to want stuff you don’t really need. Social media that seem like amusing diversions except for the fact that they suck your time and drain your energy. That’s the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to eliminate from your life at least some of those innocent monsters. You’re entering a period when you’ll have a strong knack for purging “nice” influences that aren’t really very nice.

(June 21-July 22): “Sometimes I prayed for Baby Jesus to make me good, but Baby Jesus didn’t,” wrote author Barbara Kingsolver about her childhood approach to self-improvement. Just because this method failed to work for her, however, doesn’t mean it won’t work for others. In saying

What’s the best book you’ve read recently—and why? The Moonshiner’s Daughter by Donna Everhart. Because my mom recommended it—and I’m very glad she did!!

Music is History by QuestLove. Esoteric review of what Quest thinks are the best tunes from 1971 until present. And by best, he means those songs that have had the most impact on society. A great read if you love music as much as I do! @LALALALALAFALALALA/INSTAGRAM

My Monticello—beautiful writing, meaningful characters, and story. Also, it’s local. DEB HARTOGENSIS GODDEN/FACEBOOK

@YARNASANA/INSTAGRAM

The Prince and the Dressmaker. It’s a graphic novel that has a beautiful way to explore gender and gender norms. I loved the art and characters. SAMANTHA J. FEDERICO/FACEBOOK

The best book I have re-read recently is Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant, because it illustrates leadership potential, which includes humility and compassion. @EATINGFRENCH/INSTAGRAM

This Can’t Be the Last Time, a heartwarming story of love that lasted for over 50 years.

What the Hell Did I Just Read (John Dies at the End 3) by Jason Pargin. John and Dave are back and dealing with imaginary abducted children, government agents, alternate horrifying universes, and that wacky realitybending drug called “the sauce.” Warning: contains dick jokes and monsters.

Do audiobooks count? I just finished Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. TRACY BUCEK FEDERICO/FACEBOOK

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo!! Wonderful story and beautifully written. Had me in tears. JULIAN FREEMAN/FACEBOOK

The best book I have read recently is My Name is Maria Isabel by Alma Flor Ada, because it brings attention to the importance of respecting people’s names. Your name is part of your identity.

Educated is an amazing and unbelievable memoir of someone who overcomes incredible obstacles. The 19th Wife is a fascinating piece of historical fiction that tells two parallel stories. Currently reading Any Man by Amber Tamblyn...indescribable.

The Best of Town and Gown

I

f you want everything close, the Rugby neighborhood has it all. Tucked between the University of Virginia, the 250 Bypass, and the Barracks Road Shopping Center, it brings the best of town and gown together whether you want to work and study at the University, shop nearby, or jump onto the 250 Bypass to head out of town. The narrow tree-lined streets harbor a livable, walkable—and enviable—“20-minuteneighborhood” where you can get about anything you need within a 20-minute walk. And newcomers can make their way here and immediately feel a part of a long history and a rich and varied architecture. The best part, though, is that Rugby keeps getting better. There is one drawback though. Everything that makes the Rugby area attractive also makes it “Tough sledding to get a house there.” That’s how Michael Guthrie, CEO of Howard Hanna/Roy Wheeler Realty Co., describes the odds stacked against wouldbe Rugby buyers. Tough, yes. But definitely worth the effort.

Where Town and Gown Merge

Rugby is best known as the place where UVA and Charlottesville come together. It is a combination of several smaller neighborhoods in the north-central portion of the city: Barracks, Greenleaf, Rose Hill, and Southern Pines. Rugby Road serves as one of the main entry points into UVA. And from any point

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

in Rugby, the Rotunda is less than 1.5 miles away. The convenience and quality of life is enviable with easy access to everything UVA has to offer. Walk or ride to top-rated sports and concerts at nearby John Paul Jones Arena, Lambeth Field, and Snyder Tennis Center without the stress of worrying about where to park. On the walk or bike ride home, buildings transition from UVA (including the Fralin Museum of Art) to stately sororities and fraternities, the famed painted Beta Bridge, and apartments, to distinguished homes with richly landscaped grounds. Aah, home. This is where students, professors, and townspeople bike the same routes, have adjacent yards, greet each other on their daily walks, and are neighborly. Guthrie explains, “People that have lived there forever are next to families just getting started. My friends, who are empty nesters, enjoy all the different ages that are part of their lives. The trampoline next door attracts all the kids in the neighborhood, and that gives them immense joy, and entertainment.” While Rugby wasn’t annexed into the City of Charlottesville until the 1960s, it has benefited from tremendous growth around it without being overrun or having its charm diluted. Just west of Rugby, Barracks Road Shopping Center opened in 1959 and quickly grew into one of the premier shopping destinations in the Charlottesville area with more than 80 storefronts. To the south, Dairy Market recently opened with a unique selection of shops and restaurants, and

50,000 square feet of Class A office space. Interpret that as even more high-quality employment opportunities within walking distance. REALTOR® Keith Schultz, with Assist2Sell – First Rate Realty, accurately describes Rugby as “a hot spot. It’s got all of these great amenities and activities right around it. But when you’re in the neighborhood, you never know it.”

Sell the Car Visit Rugby on a weekend and the streets are busy with families riding their bikes, people walking, and runners running. Visit on a weekday and kids are walking or biking to school and adults are walking or biking to work. There probably isn’t a more walkable neighborhood in Charlottesville with as many diverse destinations. The narrow streets, many of them winding, are a natural deterrent to speeding traffic. Even though Barracks Road and others serve as major throughways for people getting to UVA, traffic is calmer in Rugby, or at least slower. But why drive if you have another option? Most residents can walk downtown in 30 minutes, to UVA in 20 minutes, to Barracks Road Shopping Center in 15 minutes, to Dairy Market in under 20. “That’s just one of the reasons this is such a sought-after neighborhood,” says Guthrie. “A hardy walk can get you to UVA or even downtown. Make your way to Preston Avenue and Dairy Market and you’ll have walked your ice cream off by the time you get home.”

Hop on your bike or put on your sneakers and head out on Dairy Road or Rugby Avenue. Before you know it, you’re over or under the 250 Bypass to the YMCA, the Rivanna Trail, or McIntire Park. Make it a family affair with the daring perfecting an airwalk at the Charlottesville Skate Park while the more intrepid stroll along the paved trail to the Dogwood Vietnam Memorial. “Recreational bicyclists in Rugby have access to the most extensive trail network that Charlottesville currently offers,” according to Chris Gensic, with Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Department. “The bike-pedestrian bridge from Dairy Road gets a rider to the 12-foot asphalt path through McIntire Park and onto the John W. Warner Parkway Trail all the way to Rio Road.” Better still, while you’re out pedaling or walking through the neighborhood, know you’re in the shadiest part of Charlottesville. While the city has lost 15 percent of its tree canopy in the past 16 years, Rugby remains the most densely treed at 58 percent. And those trees make some of the best neighbors, providing beauty, attracting birds, capturing carbon, and reducing heating bills.

Updating History In the late 19th century, as the University expanded and the Rugby Farm was subdivided, professors and administrators at UVA began to build homes along Rugby Road. Streetcars and eventually, in 1914, the city’s first gas-powered bus ran up Rugby Road to Preston Avenue. Development in the Rugby area became more attractive. After that, things get complicated. In 1926, Paul Goodloe McIntire deeded land to Charlottesville for parks. According to city records, McIntire’s intention was that Washington Park (later renamed Booker T. Washington Park) would be reserved for African Americans, while McIntire Park would be reserved for whites. That legacy of segregation and discrimination continued to play out in

Charlottesville and the Rugby area with the establishment of the Jackson P. Burley High School on Rose Hill Drive as a segregated school for African American students. It opened in 1951, serving city and county students and closed after graduating its last class in 1967. During segregation, Burley High School was the focal point of Charlottesville’s African American culture and community. It reopened as Jackson P. Burley Middle School in 1974 serving all students, and in 2020 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “While that period of history can’t be undone, a group of passionate volunteers is trying to right some past injustices,” says Guthrie. The Burley Restoration Project is taking place in the heart of Rugby. The most visible results will be a restored and modernized athletic field for Burley Middle School and the larger community. There will be baseball, at night under the lights, a new playing surface, and stadium seating. Buildings will be

painted and upgraded, and a “Walk of Fame” honoring every student, teacher, and administrator who attended Jackson P. Burley High School will be etched in a brick walkway from the school to Booker T. Washington Park. Less visible, but perhaps more important, is Charlottesville City, Albemarle County, and UVA working together on a project to “address historic and enduring issues of racial injustice and inequity” in our community. For the kids in Rugby who attend Burley Middle School or play in Booker T. Washington Park (along with their parents and other adults), it’s a chance to learn from that history.

Finding a Rugby Home So, with all Rugby has to offer, what’s available on the market? Precious little. A recent search of the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service showed just two homes in the Rugby area, both under contract. Having grown up in the Rugby area, REALTOR® Jane Fogleman, with Howard Hanna/Roy Wheeler Realty Co., understands buyers’ frustrations with trying to get into this appealing neighborhood. She recently had a listing in Rugby that sold almost immediately with multiple offers. “Like most homes in Rugby, the house was solidly constructed, well cared for, and in really good shape. We had it professionally staged and it went under contract the same weekend we listed it.” While nearly all the homes are single-family and 69 percent are owneroccupied, the area offers a wide range of housing styles. Certainly, Rugby has more than its share of manors, estates, and ornate historic homes. Find many of these in the Barracks Road area where mostly high-end expansive homes were built in the 1930s on equally expansive lots. Classic brick colonials line Rugby Road and reach into the side streets. Just a few blocks away, Greenleaf offers postWorld War II bungalows on small lots. “This is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood,” says Guthrie. “Modest cape cods, large estate homes, colonials, 1950s and 60s ramblers; you can find them all in

Rugby.” This architectural variety comes with a wide range of home prices. Buyers may still find a home under $500,000 in Greenleaf, Southern Pines, or Rose Hill. Elsewhere in the Rugby region, prices escalate quickly with many surpassing the million-dollar mark. Schultz listed a newly renovated home with three bedrooms on 0.13 acres and is “getting tons of activity and interest. With comps in the $700-$800,000 range, we priced it in the low $600s and expect it to go quickly. You can go two blocks over and houses are well over a million dollars.” Locals are acutely aware of what many perceive as a threat to their beautiful, established neighborhood. Charlottesville recently approved a new Future Land Use Map with potential impacts in the Rugby area, as well as other neighborhoods throughout the city. The approval allows increased density beyond what currently exists. “I advise buyers to check it out and make sure they are cognizant of the potential downsides,” says Fogleman. “This is something buyers need to understand before they rush into a purchase.” Guthrie agrees. “There is still going to be some tweaking of the map and any changes that owners want to make to their properties will go through a process with public input. Homeowners don’t want to be grilling in their backyard and have a new four-story building overshadowing them. And that’s understandable. We are still early in the process, but buyers need to be aware this new map exists.” As the future of Rugby continues to be drawn with a new land use map, wisdom suggests applying lessons from Rugby’s rich past that make it the attractive community it is today. That includes lots of trees, narrow winding streets, almost everything you need within an easy bike ride or 20-minute walk, beautiful gardens, and striking homes. And, just the right density to retain all Rugby’s charm and appeal. Carla Huckabee writes about high-performing real estate.
