The heat is on The mercury barely made it out of the teens on Friday, January 5, but a roaring fire inside Timberlakes Drug Store on the Downtown Mall kept patrons warm and cozy. And while the recent cold snap brought plenty of misery to area residents, we didn’t come close to the chilliest day ever recorded at UVA’s McCormick Observatory: January 19, 1994, when the temperature in Charlottesville fell to 10 degrees below zero. But things are definitely looking up in the weather department, with high temps expected to be in the 50s and 60s for the next few days.

Tuel Jewelers owner Frances Gibson Loose (left) passed away January 5 at age 86. When she bought the jewelry store in 1975, she was downtown's only female business owner.
Frances Gibson Loose, longtime owner of Tuel Jewelers, died January 5 at age 86. For 65 years, she showed up for work, always professionally dressed, until about a week before she passed away. When Loose bought the store in 1975, she was the only female business owner downtown, and according to her daughter, Mary Loose DeViney, she told another woman in a male-dominated field, “I’m going to do it my way and you will, too.” She was a member of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce, which named her Small Business Person of the Year in 2009. Loose was well-known and well-liked and was often called “Mom” by her many friends, says DeViney. “She extended credit to people that others wouldn’t have—and they paid her. She just believed in people.” People from all walks of life came to the store just to talk to Loose. “I’ve got to talk to Momma,” DeViney heard regularly. “I shared my mom with all kinds of people.”

New county leadership

@cvillenews_desk
Crews are set to start ripping meters out of the ground this week after City Council voted at its January 2 meeting to indefinitely suspend the parking meter pilot that began on streets surrounding the Downtown Mall in September. “It seemed pointless to try to convince the manufacturer to continue to loan us this equipment,” says parking manager Rick Siebert, who was initially hired to implement the program. “We obviously didn’t want to pay rent with no revenue coming in.” With no reimplementation date in sight, Siebert says he’s disappointed that the city seems to have permanently pumped the brakes on the pilot, and he’ll continue to work toward a solution to Charlottesville’s well-documented parking problem. “We had some issues with parking before that led to hiring Nelson\Nygaard to do the study, which led to the initiation of the meter pilot,” he says. “Those issues haven’t just evaporated.”

Learning curve By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com
T
Nikuyah Walker was elected mayor January 2, beating out Kathy Galvin, right, who cast the single “no” vote against Walker.
sponse was perfect: ‘There is a learning curve and I’m up for it.’” Once Walker was elected mayor, Wes Bellamy lost the job of vice mayor when fellow incumbents Signer and Galvin threw their votes to Hill, giving her a 3-2 win. Signer appeared still sore that Bellamy voted December 18 against the plan to give Atlanta developer John Dewberry a tax break to get the derelict Landmark Hotel finally under construction again. “It’s hard to work consistently when assurances are broken,” he said to Bellamy, a characterization Bellamy disputed. “There was definitely a Festivus feel to it with the airing of the grievances,” says Norris, referring to a “Seinfeld” episode. “Overall it was very positive. You definitely got a sense of councilors’ strengths and weaknesses.” The public process to elect a mayor was unprecedented, but fit in with Walker’s pledge to bring transparency to how govern-
ment is run, says Norris. “It’s messy. It’s awkward at times. And to restore trust in government, one way to do that is to bring more decision-making to the public.” Schmidt applauds the “uncomfortable” public process of choosing a mayor, and notes, as did Walker, that minorities are used to feeling uncomfortable every day. Having Walker front and center on City Council— “That’s going to be uncomfortable for people used to calling the shots,” says Schmidt. ”And people who have been made to feel uncomfortable now have a voice.” Walker was blunt about taking the job of mayor and said it would be a challenge. She said she learned a lot from running a campaign, and intends to do that with her new part-time position. “I will figure it out,” she vowed. Read this story on c-ville.com for more on the city’s first African-American mayor, Charles Barbour, elected 44 years ago.

he first meeting of the new City Council January 2 went into uncharted territory with formerly behind-the-scenes decisions—electing the new mayor and vice mayor—made publicly, and for some on the dais, uncomfortably. New councilors Nikuyah Walker and Heather Hill were elected mayor and vice mayor, respectively, while the airing of the grievances allowed some rebukes and score settling among councilors. Senior Councilor Kathy Galvin wanted the mayor’s job, and she had several supporters endorse her during public comment, to catcalls from some attendees. Ultimately she didn’t have the votes, and she ended up being the single “no” in Walker’s 4-1 election as mayor. With City Manager Maurice Jones leading the meeting—and calling disruptive citizens to order—the councilors made statements, nominations and expressed concerns about their fellow officials. Hill, who nominated Galvin, her North Downtown neighbor, acknowledged that Galvin’s experience on council might not be enough. “We need a new direction,” she said, and pointed to Walker. The concern with Walker for Hill—and for Galvin and former mayor Mike Signer— was Walker’s unwillingness to meet and make nice with her new colleagues on council before the January 2 meeting. Walker explained that she planned no meetings before the new year, and that she found congratulatory emails sent by Signer, whose resignation she repeatedly called for last year, and Galvin “not authentic.” Said Walker, “I’m comfortable with making people uncomfortable.” “I am considering voting for Nikuyah Walker,” said Signer. “It’s awkward to talk critically about your potential colleagues
going forward for a two-year or four-year term. That’s the reason this decision is done beforehand.” He wondered whether Walker would be able to work with him. “You’ve said some very hard things about me personally,” he said. “While you were talking about removing the personal,” replied Walker, “I don’t think people understand how difficult my campaign was, and you, in particular, made it very difficult.” Days before the election, the Daily Progress ran an article headlined, “Emails show Walker’s aggressive approach.” Signer admitted to sharing emails that demonstrated Walker’s “profane attacks” against staff. When Signer pressed her about whether she could get past their previous interactions, Walker reminded him that she did speak to him when he entered the room. “I haven’t been grandstanding,” said Galvin, nor does she “seek the limelight,” a barb that seemed pointed toward Signer, who was taken to the woodshed by his fellow councilors after the Unite the Right rally for forgetting that the mayor’s role is ceremonial and to lead the meetings. “The way I’d be as mayor would be the way I’ve been as councilor.” Signer appeared to have his own ax to grind with Galvin, and said the long emails she sends to city staff were burdensome and caused “friction.” “I will never stop asking questions,” said Galvin, who suggested her colleagues relied on her detail-oriented efforts. “I will never vote for anything I do not understand.” Galvin asked Walker whether she could do the job as mayor with all the reading involved, which Walker supporter Dave Norris calls “condescending” and Jalane Schmidt said was “patronizing.” “I would venture to guess that [Walker] knows more about the budget than many people who have served on council,” says Norris, a former mayor. “I thought her re-

Split decision Shooter gets bond, alleged assailant doesn’t By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

wo ponytailed Unite the Right participants represented by the same lawyer had different fates in their January 4 bond hearings in Charlottesville Circuit Court. Judge Humes Franklin granted 52-yearold Baltimore resident Richard Preston, an imperial wizard of the Confederate White Knights of the KKK who was filmed firing a gun during the August 12 Unite the Right rally, a $50,000 cash bond with the instruction not to leave the state, possess a firearm or “engage in any assemblies, if you will.” Defense attorney Elmer Woodard called on Billy Snuffer Sr., the imperial wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the True Invisible Empire, who testified he had a “trailer down on the farm” in Martinsville, where he would allow Preston to live pending his three-day trial in May.
Snuffer, who told the judge he owns Snuffer’s Auto Repair in Buchanan, offered to give Preston a job while out on bond, but it is unclear whether the judge will allow Preston to leave the trailer for matters other than court and to meet with his attorney, who also represents several other white nationalists, including “Crying Nazi” Chris Cantwell. In a separate hearing on the same day, Jacob Goodwin, a 22-year-old from Arkansas who allegedly participated in the Market Street Parking Garage beatdown of DeAndre Harris, was denied his shot at getting out of jail. Goodwin, wearing all-black clothing, black goggles, a helmet and carrying a shield on August 12, can be identified in widely circulated videos of the attack, but Woodard told the judge his client was simply walking to his car in the garage when he encountered two groups of people “exercising their First Amendment rights with great vigor,” and

In Albemarle County, daycare centers operating out of private homes are known as family day homes, and those serving four or fewer children do not require licenses. However, if a family day home provider cares for more than four kids under the age of 2, with a limit of 12 children, she must possess a state-issued license or a voluntarily registered certificate from the Virginia Department of Social Services, according to spokesperson Cletisha Lovelace. Defense attorney Scott Goodman said his client’s behavior wasn’t felonious, and that he wasn’t sure prosecutor Darby Lowe proved Yowell-Rohm had committed more than a lack of ordinary care. “There’s nothing unusual about a 6month-old being in a car seat or a rocker,” he said, noting that the home was clean and investigators had access to additional clothing and diapers in a variety of sizes. “I’m sure that all over this city at this minute, children are sitting in a dark room, taking a nap, with a dirty diaper.”

THE THIRD DEGREE The Virginia Department of Social Services suggests several questions parents should ask before deciding on a daycare for their children. n Is there adequate supervision at all times? n Is there a routine but flexible schedule? n Is there dedicated outside time and indoor time? n Do the children have pretend play, music and art time? n Are the meals and snacks nutritious?
Judge Claude Worrell didn’t seem to agree, and he scheduled Yowell-Rohm’s case to be heard before the next sitting grand jury at 9:30am on February 5. Yowell-Rohm will also be in court January 18 to face charges of drunk in public and allegedly biting an EMT at the UVA/Virginia Tech football game November 24 at Scott Stadium.

The General Assembly is now in session
Shiftingground
January 10 – 16, 2018 c-ville.com
I
f you thought 2017 was a year like no other, well, 2018 will likely continue to ride the tide of the unprecedented, at least according to what we’ve seen in the new year’s first week. The General Assembly begins its session January 10 with a tsunami shift from last year’s seemingly unbreachable 66-34 GOP majority. The makeover from the November 2017 election unseated 15 white male Republicans. Among the 15 Democrats taking office are 11 women, including the state’s first transgender legislator, first openly lesbian delegate, first Asian American and first Latinas. For a few months, it looked like the legislature would be evenly split 50-50, until a random drawing January 4 kept the balance of power with the Republicans 51-49 when the 94th District’s David Yancey’s name was pulled out of a bowl to break the tie with Dem Shelly Simonds. Even if Simonds asks for another recount, which means Yancey won’t be seated until the recount is certified, the GOP will hold a 50-49 majority, enough for it to elect Kirk Cox to succeed longtime speaker Bill Howell. “We’ve never had a tied race for equitable distribution of the House of Delegates,” says State Board of Elections Vice Chair Clara Belle Wheeler. “We’ve never had a 50-50 split. There’s no protocol on how to pick a speaker.” That crisis was averted, but questions remain about how the shift in power will affect legislation and committee assignments, where previously, Democratic bills went to die in subcommittee. “The speaker has immense power,” says former Daily Progress political reporter Bob Gibson. “He has the ability to assign all members to all committees—at any time. The speaker assigns all bills to committees. It’s unlike anyone in the Senate.” House Minority Leader David Toscano is optimistic that Cox won’t stack committees with Republicans because for the past two decades, the House leadership has agreed to proportional representation on committees. Of course, those proportions look a lot different with a 66-34 majority than a slimmed down 51-49 majority. “There is no doubt November 7 was an earthquake in Virginia,” says Toscano. UVA Center for Politics’ Geoffrey Skelley says, “On the face of it, it’s a closer divided chamber. Previously, when Republicans were working with a very large majority, they could ignore anything Democrats had to say.” Going in to the session even with a slim majority, “the GOP doesn’t have to worry about power sharing,” says Skelley. The nearly even body has led Toscano to warn his members to not call in sick and not go to the bathroom during the floor session, in case a close vote is called while the member is away, the Washington Post reports. And it’s not like shenanigans haven’t taken place in both chambers in the past. The last time the House was this closely split was in 1998, when Dems held 50 seats and the GOP had 49, plus an independent who tended to vote with Republicans. “When the session opened, the Democrats had a slight majority and reelected Thomas Moss as speaker before other Republicans could be seated,” recounts Skelley. “There was a lot of outrage.”

And in 2013, with a 20-20 Senate split, Republicans took advantage of Democratic Senator Henry Marsh’s absence to attend President Barack Obama’s inauguration to vote to redraw the lines and take a chunk out of Marsh’s district. Skelley doesn’t think the GOP can write off Dem political pressure after the 2017 election, especially with midterm congressional elections looming. “At the same time, in this partisan era, I’m going to vote on them battening down the hatches, especially if they’re stacking committees.” Skelley points out that the House makeup could still shift if Simonds calls for a recount. And that’s not the only district where election results are being challenged. In the 28th District around Fredericksburg, where Republican Bob Thomas won by 73 votes after a recount, voters have filed suit in federal court asking for a special election because 147 voters were given the wrong ballots for their district. “That’s another potential sleeping dog,” he says. And while all attention has been focused on the uncertainty in the House of Delegates, Republicans hold a slim 21-19 lead in the Senate, with a Democratic lieutenant governor as tiebreaker, offering an opportunity for bipartisanship in the usually more moderate body. Albemarle Delegate Rob Bell, a Republican who’s heading to Richmond for his 17th session, is not perturbed by the influx of Dems. He says he’s served in close sessions before, as well as under both Republican and Democratic governors. “For a bill to become law, Governor Northam has to sign it, and we have to work together for that to happen,” he says. Speaker Cox hasn’t made committee assignments yet, but with Bell the vice chair and senior member of the Courts of Justice committee, it’s possible he could end up chair. Twelve-term Republican Delegate Steve Landes, who represents western Albemarle, also has accrued seniority, and last year was chair of the education committee and vice chair of appropriations. “One of my concerns is from listening to a lot of new members, who seem to be anti-business,” says Landes. “When the governor-elect is trying to improve the economy, saying business is the enemy” is not helpful, he says. Landes offers a different perspective from pundits on how the House will operate with the influx of Dems. “The majority of what we do is not partisan.” As for the still possibly up-in-the-air election results, says Landes, “We’ll play the cards we’re dealt.” The General Assembly is a part-time gig, with the budget session lasting 60 days if all goes well. To Republican Delegate Matt Fariss, who represents southern Albemarle, some of the newly elected delegates seemed unaware that they need to be in Richmond for eight or nine weeks. “My freshman year there were 13 of us,” he says. Adjusting to the House was like “drinking water from a firehose,” he says. “We knew to be quiet and learn.” When it comes to his new colleagues, he says, “It’ll be interesting to see what they can get done.” State Senator Creigh Deeds, who first came to the General Assembly in 1992, says the biggest difference will be “most Republicans in the House of Delegates have never been there when they didn’t have a supermajority.” Says Deeds, “I think having to work with the other side is not a bad thing in a democracy.”

BIG ISSUES Biennium budget
Local legislator bills
Every other year, the General Assembly makes a budget, and this is the year. “The budget will be and always is the biggest issue,” says Landes. “The unknown is whether we’ll have additional dollars. That could help us or hurt us.” “The hardy perennials are still there— education, Medicaid and Medicaid expansion,” says Bell. “The good news is our economy is picking up,” says Toscano. The biennium budget outgoing Governor Terry McAuliffe submitted has $500 million earmarked for new Standards of Quality for education, including teacher salaries, he says. “Teachers and rural sheriffs’ departments need to get paid more,” says Fariss. “They’re having a hard time keeping deputies.” And he wants to avoid the situation of a couple of years ago when state employees were promised 2 percent raises, only to have state revenues fall short. ELLI WILLIAMS
THE BILLS
McAuliffe pressed to expand Medicaid for 400,000 uninsured Virginians and take federal Affordable Care Act dollars every year he was in office—to no avail in the GOPdominated General Assembly. Bell, who is not a supporter of expanded Medicaid, refuses to speculate on how it will fare this year. “I always hesitate to predict,” he says. “We have a real shot at doing that,” offers Toscano. “I honestly think Medicaid expansion has a real chance this year,” says Deeds, because the need for coverage continues to grow, especially in mental health. Former reporter Gibson also says Medicaid expansion has a better chance, especially with

a couple of moderate Republicans in the Senate open to the idea. And he points out that Democratic Governor-elect Ralph Northam, who campaigned on expanded health care, strikes a “cooperative, bipartisan tenor.” Northam is also the first governor elected who’s a Sorensen Institute alum, notes Gibson, who used to head the political leadership institute. “He’s a true moderate.” However, Skelley says the Republicans who lost their seats in the House were the moderates. “If the House is even more conservative, that would auger poorly for Medicaid expansion. That’s such a polarizing issue.”
Nonpartisan redistricting

Medicaid expansion
Following the summer of hate in Charlottesville, Toscano and Deeds will be carrying bills designed to lessen the area’s attractiveness as a place for violent clashes. One bill adds Charlottesville and Albemarle to the 10 or so localities in the state that can prohibit people from carrying guns in public places, Toscano says. Another would allow localities to determine what to do with monuments in public spaces, an issue that’s currently being litigated in Charlottesville after City Council’s vote to remove two Confederate monuments. “Mine would clear that up,” says Toscano.
State Senator Creigh Deeds was in the House of Delegates the last time it was this closely split in 1998, and he says most Republicans there now have no experience not being in the super majority.
As more citizens understand the impact of gerrymandering, which gave Republicans their 66-34 House of Delegates majority despite Democrats winning all statewide races since 2012, the call for reform continues. Previously, “anti-gerrymandering bills, despite Republican support, get killed in subcommittee,” says Gibson, who is also cochair with former lieutenant governor Bill Bolling, a Republican, of One Virginia 2021, a bipartisan group advocating—and litigating—for compact, contiguous line-drawing when redistricting occurs in 2021 after the 2020 census. Toscano says redistricting reform “may have a shot and Republicans could say, ‘We’d be better off with nonpartisan redistricting, especially if the Democrats are drawing the lines.’” But such reform requires a constitutional amendment, not an easy process that must go before voters twice before it becomes law. “I could imagine some consensus on that,” says Skelley. “However, it would have to get out of committee.” The reform requires General Assembly members giving up their right to draw the lines and a constitutional amendment. “It could be an opportunity for progress,” says Skelley, adding, “I’m skeptical.”
“There is no doubt November 7 was an earthquake in Virginia.” HOUSE MINORITY LEADER DAVID TOSCANO
Legislators file thousands of bills—literally—during their 60-day session, most of which die quietly in subcommittee. Because the elected ones have until the morning of January 10 to get those bills filed, we’ve only seen a smattering of legislation. Here’s some of what the General Assembly will be considering. Menstrual supplies exempt from sales tax, aka the Dignity Act. If you’re betting this bill didn’t come from a man, you’d be right. Another bill provides female inmates menstrual supplies at no extra cost. Swearing or cursing in public no longer a crime. Elimination of the Kings Dominion law. A couple of bills would allow localities to set their own school calendars, rather than have to request permission from the General Assembly to start school before Labor Day. Absentee voting for any reason, unlike current law that only allows specific excuses for not showing up at the polls on election day to vote. Female genital mutilation would become a Class 6 felony rather than the misdemeanor it currently is. Grand larceny threshold. Currently stealing something that costs $200 is a felony. Various bills up that limit to $500, $750, $1,000 and $1,500. Fornication between unmarried people would no longer be a crime. No talking while driving. Virginia could join the many other states that prohibit use of a handheld cellphone while driving.

This is the ballot in question that determined control of the House of Delegates.

The judges looked at other races marked on the ballot and reasoned that because the voter went Republican, using an X to indicate Ed Gillespie for governor, the intent was to vote for Yancey. “No, no, no,” says Heilman.”It could be a split ticket. They shouldn’t be looking at other races.”
Former Albemarle County registrar Jim Heilman says a three-judge panel made two big mistakes in the Newport News district recount.
State elections guidelines are clear, he says. “Two shaded bubbles is an invalid ballot.” Albemarle resident and State Board of Elections Vice Chair Clara Belle Wheeler disagrees, and says a 2015 revision in the rules for recounts allows the ballot to be counted if the intention is understandable. “The three-judge panel deliberated for over two hours,” she says, and until the panel certifies the recount, “It’s not a done deal.” Heilman and Wheeler agree about one thing: If a voter marks the wrong candidate, he should get a new ballot. Heilman says the optical reader likely would have had a pop-up screen indicating a problem with the ballot when the vote was cast. “I guess the voter didn’t want a new ballot,” he surmises. The three-judge panel declared the race a tie at 11,608 votes each. The panel refused to reconsider Simonds’ challenge to the recount, and less than a week before the General Assembly was gaveled into session, Yancey won a drawing out of a bowl January 4, giving Republicans a 51-49 majority in the House and the opportunity to elect a GOP speaker.
facebook.com/cville.weekly
Former Albemarle County registrar Jim Heilman, who has traveled all over the world monitoring elections in developing democracies, has been through at least eight recounts. “I believe I’m fairly knowledgeable about recounts,” he says. And that’s why he feels qualified to declare that the three-judge panel handling the recount in the 94th District, upon which control of the House of Delegates hinged, made “two major mistakes.” Democratic challenger Shelly Simonds trailed Republican incumbent David Yancey by 10 votes in the November 7 election for the 94th District seat representing the Newport News area. A December 19 recount put Simonds ahead by one vote. The Republican leadership sent its congratulations and the recount results went to a three-judge panel the next day for certification. That’s where things went screwy, say Heilman, who also is a member of Albemarle’s electoral board, but stresses he’s speaking personally, not as a board member. Overnight, an unnamed Republican contacted one of the judges and said an invalid ballot should be counted, says Heilman. And the three-judge panel reopened the recount. “Mistake No. 1,” he says. He explains that recount officials are appointed by each party, and with Democratic and Republican observers on hand, they feed all of the paper ballots through the optical scanners, which kick out undervotes or overvotes. Those are the ones recount officials scrutinize, he says. And if there are questions about the ballot’s validity, it goes to the three-judge panel, says Heilman. The ballot in question, which had bubbles filled out for both Simonds and Yancey and a line through Simonds’ name, was declared invalid by the recount officials, who signed off on the recount, as did the registrar, says Heilman. “The three-judge panel has no reason to open the recount,” says Heilman. “The election is over. Under the Code of Virginia, they had no legal right to reopen the recount.” The second mistake, he says, was to count the vote for Yancey. “The universal principle is that the intent of the voter is clear,” says Heilman. State election guidelines have “pages and pages” on what constitutes clear intent and whether a ballot is valid or invalid, he says.

FORMER REGISTRAR: NEWPORT NEWS PANEL BOTCHED RECOUNT

A third bill was proposed by McAuliffe, who wanted Toscano to carry it, says the delegate. “It gives more flexibility for localities to regulate weapons around demonstrations like August 12.” Toscano predicts there will be a lot more gun-safety legislation, much of it coming from Northern Virginia delegates who ran on issues such as restricting bump stocks, like those used in the Las Vegas massacre, or reinstating Virginia’s purchasing-one-gun-a-month prohibition. The long-term viability of solar energy depends on the ability to store energy when the sun is not shining, says Toscano, and he’s carrying two bills to encourage increased battery capacity, including tax credits. And he’s got money in the budget to go to the Daughters of Zion to help figure out who is buried in the downtown cemetery. Bell is carrying one of his perennials, the Tebow bill, which would allow homeschooled students to participate in public school sports. “McAuliffe vetoed it three times,” he counts. Bell’s bills typically deal with criminal justice, and this session he’s trying again with restitution reform. Its numbers “shock the conscience,” he says—$230 million overdue to victims. Service dogs in court became an issue here recently, says Bell, so he wants to define what exactly a service animal is and what sort of notice must be given to have them show up in courtrooms. He’s also got a bill that re-examines the statute of limitations for animal cruelty. Landes usually carries legislation dealing with education, and this year he has a bill that establishes academic standards for dual-enrolling high school students who take community college courses. He also wants to make it easier to move from other professions into teaching to alleviate the teacher shortage, and proposes shortening a collegiate teacher-certification program from five to three years. Last year Landes caused a stir when he tried to modify the ironclad revenuesharing with Charlottesville that’s widely loathed by Albemarle residents. “I’m looking at that and hoping to reopen talks between the city and county,” he says. Redistricting reform is not typically an issue for Republicans, but it is for many of Landes’ gerrymandered constituents, so he’s taking another crack at it, this time focusing on the process around line drawing so that localities don’t make precincts that the legislature will split. Rustburg resident Fariss says his bills are aimed at reducing regulations to make it easier for people to do business. For example, a single proprietor locksmith has to jump through the same hoops as a business with 10 people, he says. And Fariss has had it with hunters who dump animal remains all over the place. “It makes me so mad when these deer hunters throw deer carcasses out along public roads,” he says. He wants stiffer penalties and to draw attention to the unsightly littering.

2017 loose ends Girlpool Powerplant (Anti-) Philadelphia-by-way-of-California duo Girlpool released Powerplant in May, and it was probably a great summer heartbreak album, all intertwining guitars and fragile voices. Opener “123” comes in like a lamb and revs up to lion level at the chorus—but it’s a sweet, sad lion. The soft/loud ratio remains pretty constant throughout Powerplant, and it’s pretty obvious that Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker’s hearts are in the ’90s—The Softies loom largest, though Girlpool crunches too much to attain such snowy perfection. Tividad and Tucker’s voices get just a bit irritating, as they stick to barely-a-whisper mode, but maybe it helps to hear them as menacing in a downturned way—the shy girls who nod and smile, and then go key your car. Girlpool plays D.C.’s Black Cat with Land of Talk on February 7.
Say Sue Me Say Sue Me (Damnably) South Korean pop: It isn’t just flash dancing boy bands anymore. Say Sue Me is led by Busan singer/guitarist Sumi (get it?) Choi, who comes from the this-is-easy school of indie songwriting. This disc collects the
band’s first LP, plus an EP and a new song, nearly all of which is catchy and full of familiar moves—a little Pavement, a little surf rock, all within the classic confines of two guitars, bass and drums. The small problem is that at 18 cuts, the album does get to be a bit too much of a good thing—I kept hearing songs that sounded like the last one, and then there’d be another one. Still, Choi is charming company, capable of wrenching a wry smile while steady rocking on “I Know I’m Kind of Boring” and delivering gorgeous wistfulness on “Summer Night.”
Novella Change of State (Sinderlyn) In February, London’s Novella released a driving sophomore album that delivered on the promise of its 2015 debut, Land. Recorded with James Hoare—whose stock keeps rising around here—Change of State does justice to a bevy of rad reference points. Opener “Does the Island Know” sounds like Echo & the Bunnymen fronted by lotus eaters; the breakdown in the title track throws in some ’60s psych buzz guitar; and the whole thing is soaking in Stereolab, Neu! and Dum Dum Girls. Holly Warren and Sophy Hollington’s reverberating duet harmonies are spot-on throughout, and the prevailing
tone is one of casual badassery with a touch of pain, or at least ennui. They ride on top of churning, chiming guitars, faintly floating organ pads and automatic grooves. Change of State is physical and heady—hopefully Novella will stay that course and hold at bay the tempting charms of cool affect.
Sloan Peterson Midnight Love (Mirror) It bugs me when bands name themselves for movies, and I’m almost grateful when I hate their music, too. So thank you, Save Ferris. Keeping an open mind can pay off, of course —from the same movie, we have Aussie singer-songwriter Sloan Peterson (who in fairness basically had to adopt a stage name, because her real name’s Joe Jackson). And this EP actually kinda does sound like music Ferris Bueller’s cool, fun girlfriend would listen to, cruising suburban Chicago in a Cabriolet, hair waving in the sun like the glossy flag of privileged ’80s teenhood. But Sloan the singer is cooler than the character—too personable to be insouciant and too ragged to be glossy—and Midnight Love is full of well tarnished nuggets of new wave and ’80s alt rock from the chugging, dusty “105” to the melancholy, moonlit “Break My Heart.” —Nick Rubin

rowing up in a family of artists and architects in Lahore, Pakistan, Murad Khan Mumtaz, a visual artist who practices the tradition of socalled Indian miniature painting, says the act of creating things came naturally. “My father, who is a practicing architect, has more or less single-handedly tried to revive local indigenous practices, which were dying out,” Mumtaz says. “So I think I was greatly influenced by him, and by my elder brother who also is an architect.” Mumtaz, who came to Charlottesville in 2012 to pursue his Ph.D. at UVA, says, “Prior to coming here, I don’t think I had much of an idea of my own history.” Now he studies 16th- to 18th-century representations of Indian painting as the focus of his degree in South Asian art history. “I have to dive deep into learning about the history itself, so that gave a lot of insight into things I didn’t know about, gaining more access to heritage, cultural history and the art form,” he says. To understand Indian miniature painting, Mumtaz says one must begin with the name. In the Persian tradition, the Arabic name is Musavvari—the root of which comes from Al-Musavvir, one of the 99 most beautiful names of God in the Quran, meaning “the fashioner” or “creator of forms.” In Sanskrit, the word is Chitrakala, and it translates to “the art of making images.” Because of the artworks’ origin in religious texts, they could be as small as pocket-size. When the British colonized India in the 19th century they named the artform “miniature painting.” Unfortu-
nately, Mumtaz says, this simplistic name stuck. Some of the earliest examples of Musavvari paintings can be traced to Buddhist and Jain manuscripts in the 10th and 11th centuries. But Mumtaz says, “The art form has a continuous tradition way back into early history, perhaps even prehistory.” One of these influences came from the 16th century Mughal Empire, which brought Persian and Central Asian techniques to the medium. It continued to hold religious meaning, but also began to include the lives of the nobility. There are lots of landscapes, Mumtaz says, which serve as the backdrop for the protagonist. But the scenes also document battles and meetings. The tradition continued up to what Mumtaz calls a “decisive break” caused by colonialism. Before Britain withdrew from India in 1947, it passed the Indian Independence Act, which partitioned India into India and Pakistan, and was the catalyst for the largest mass migration in human history. “In that process, a lot of sectarian boundaries were demarcated and drawn,” Mumtaz says. “The history and heritage of one’s own culture was severed and lost. People had no access to local history or local mythologies or local heroes. Children growing up in India were brainwashed to think anything to do with Muslim culture was evil. It’s still happening viciously in both countries.” Mumtaz came to realize that Musavvari painting “transcends sectarian division...It’s still steeped in contemporary practice but engaged in conversation with the tradition,” he says. It has become “a wonderful way of delving deeper into a practice to discover my own history and culture; a form of accessing my own severed history.”

hat was the last thing you made? Be honest with yourself. Perhaps you made dinner last night, but think hard about the last time you spent an afternoon knitting, strumming a guitar or doodling in a sketchbook. Maybe instead you’ve been reading, listening to albums, looking at paintings or watching “Stranger Things” on Netflix? Are you creating, or are you consuming? Too often, “our own creativity gets written out” in place of consuming media, says Matthew Burtner, a sound artist and professor of computer and compositional technologies in the University of Virginia’s music department. “We are not creating spaces for imagination and free thinking in our society,” he says, and that worries him. “Being creative, being imaginative, is part of the human condition that’s unique. It not only defines us as an animal, but defines us individually among our species.” When we let go of our creativity, we risk letting go of our humanity. With The Ceiling Floats Away, a collaboration with Pulitzer Prize-winning former U.S. Poet Laureate (and fellow UVA professor) Rita Dove, and the EcoSono Ensemble (a collective of performers bringing ecoacoustic music to the public), Burtner isn’t ready to let us lose our grip entirely. “It’s about re-engaging with creative art-making,” he says. “Even if you’re sitting in the audience, you’re supposed to be making something in this piece.” The Ceiling Floats Away is a series of 13 composed poetry-and-music movements interspersed with audience-produced bridg-
es. Officially issued in album form on January 12 by Ravello Records, a contemporary classical label dedicated to forward-thinking orchestral, chamber and experimental music from composers around the world, the piece has its origins in Charlottesville, during the OpenGrounds opening in 2012, where Burtner performed music from his telematic opera Auksalaq and Dove read from her work. As Burtner tells it, Dove was intrigued by the audience participation software Auksalaq employs, and she thought it might be something poets could use. Not long after, Burtner called Dove and asked if she wanted to collaborate. “I’m always interested in ways to expand the perceived boundaries of my own primary art form, poetry,” Dove wrote in an email to C-VILLE. And as an amateur musician herself, she was “curious to see how [Burtner] would approach this from his side.” Burtner and sound engineer Mark Graham recorded Dove reading her poetry aloud. That recording session turned into a bit of a jam, Dove recalls, with Burtner feeling inspired to create music in the moment. After that, Burtner wrote the music over a few months, considering the phrasing, cadence and tonality
“In this album, poetry turns into music, while music melts into utterance and communal murmurings.” RITA DOVE of Dove’s voice, as well as the strengths of the EcoSono Ensemble, as he composed. As Burtner composed, he sent Dove bits of what he was working on, which sur-

I, Tonya R, 121 minutes Alamo Drafthouse Cinema message becomes clear—questioning what we think we know about a person in the public eye, and the disconnect we make when participating in pile-on humiliations. This was at the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle, and 23 years later, we still participate in collective mockery and shaming, only the net is much wider with social media; people become temporarily infamous every day, experiencing meme-ification for our enjoyment but potentially ruining their lives forever. With great performances, a solid script and tight direction, I, Tonya is an intelligent movie that treats its subject matter with appropriate seriousness, while declaring and demonstrating its message, wiping away any ambiguity for those who might still want to laugh at the misfortune of others.

orget everything you think you knew about Tonya Harding. While you’re at it, forget everything you’ve seen about I, Tonya, a deep dive into the infamous assault on Nancy Kerrigan leading up to the figure skating competition in the 1994 Olympics. The film is being sold partially as a tabloidy trash-watch, a Lifetime movie with a bigger budget and higher-shelf stars, when in fact it is a testament to how perspective shapes our memory, and society’s collective role in harshly punishing one of skating’s most incredible talents out of our own classism and schadenfreude. No one is exactly the good guy in this story, but that does not make everyone the villain by default, which is what we—yes, all of us who were alive at the time—did to Harding. The film centers around confessional- style interviews with Tonya (Margot Robbie), her husband, Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan), and her mother, LaVona Fay Golden (Allison 4.906” 4.906” 4.906” Janney). They speak directly to the camera as they explore their roles in what happened, not only on January 4, 1994, in Detroit but in the preceding years as well. Tonya was a skating prodigy, blessed with natural talent and incredible athleticism from a young age, but cursed with a mother who considered slapping, denigration and harsh coaching as forms of mo-
tivation. She comes to see abuse as normal and not inconsistent with a loving relationship, and the physical and emotional intimidation continues with her husband, Jeff, whom she marries at a young age. Jeff ’s brand is especially toxic; LaVona’s assaults ended when Tonya moved out, but Jeff follows her to new locations when she leaves, threatens murder-suicide and brings her into his absurd world of small-time crooks who are legendary mafiosos in their own mind, particularly Tonya’s nominal bodyguard, Shawn Eckhardt. (Shawn’s confessional moments are particularly absurd, posturing himself as both a master criminal and a counter-terrorism expert, but stay for the credits and you will see this person actually exists.) All of this sets the stage for how the events went down from different points of view, contrasting the accounts of those who lived it with those of us who only knew what we saw on television. If the characters are to be believed, Tonya’s actual role in the assault was minimal—this was mostly the brainchild of Shawn and Jeff acting without her knowledge —but her combativeness, rough-around-theedges style and working-class upbringing made her the perfect antagonist to all-American Nancy. Sometimes memories differ and sometimes they line up, but as director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl, The Finest Hours) illustrates, perspective is everything. About halfway through, Tonya looks straight at the camera and declares that we,

prised her—she thought her part was done when she walked out of that first studio session. “When it comes to collaboration— especially one like this, involving a number of moving parts—it’s best to leave your ego on the stoop; so I bowed out to allow Matthew some artistic ‘elbow room,’” says Dove. Once the EcoSono Ensemble recorded the composed parts, Dove re-recorded her parts, speaking along with the music (an experience she describes as “quite exhilarating”). From there, Burtner added electronics until he was satisfied with the overall piece. “It was exciting to hear what he had done with the texts, extracting syllables and repeating words,” says Dove. “And then to experience the final product, with those amazing audience interaction interludes... well, I was blown away.” During live performances of The Ceiling Floats Away, the audience is invited into the creative process by using what’s often accused of zapping our creativity: a smartphone. Equipped with the Burtner-invented NOMADS software, audiences can reply to what they’re hearing in real time. Text “the ceiling floats away” into the NOMADS system and the sound responds, either via the musicians or in Dove’s recorded voice. Because the software knows where in the audience you’re sitting, it can send an individual sonic reflection directly back to you. So you might hear something completely different from the person next to you. The ensemble plays along with this improvised sound until it feels like time to move into the next composed part. “Poetry began as an oral tradition; speech was a musical instrument, and language its mode of notation,” says Dove. “In this album, poetry turns into music, while music melts into utterance and communal murmurings.” The Ceiling Floats Away has been performed a handful of times, including at Second Street Gallery and during the ACCelerate: ACC Smithsonian Creativity and Innovation Festival in Washington, D.C. In 2016, it received a judge’s citation in the American Prize in Chamber Music competition for its “unique nexus of acoustics, electronics and audience interaction.” It sits on the threshold between experimental and classical music, says Burtner, and it’s not likely to sound like anything you’ve heard before. “By participating, and becoming part of the creative artwork itself, the listener can understand the creativity that goes into writing poetry or composing music,” he says.

the eardrum and directly affect the deeper machinery of the ear. Whether hearing can be salvaged depends on the case, but these conditions are painful regardless, and warrant attention. If no other problems are found, then age-related hearing loss is essentially untreatable. While advanced options like hearing aids and cochlear implants might be theoretically possible, they would be unjustifiably expensive and impractical. When it comes down to it, deaf animals are quite happy. They don’t ever feel left out of conversation, and they don’t struggle to follow the dialogue in a film. I’ve even known a few anxiety-riddled dogs who seemed to benefit from the quiet, no longer fixating on every thump in the night. The inability to hear your voice can disrupt normal communication, but dogs have a remarkable facility with hand signals, and can be taught to respond to those instead. If these gestures were already incorporated into training at an earlier age, so much the better. And it’s important to remember that affected animals simply can’t hear the dangers around them, whether an approaching car or an unfriendly dog, and need to be kept safely indoors, fenced or on-leash. Hearing loss is a normal part of aging for many pets, but it isn’t so bad. A few small lifestyle tweaks are easy enough, and you may find your relationship growing as you experiment with new ways of communicating and understanding one another.

Hi, I’m Stallion. I’m a 3-year-old coonhound mix who came to the shelter as a stray, but I’m looking forward to the stability of a life indoors with lots of affection and treats.
I
t was odd the first time it happened. My dog, an aging Lhasa Apso, failed to greet me at the door. I found him snoozing in the middle of the living room and tapped him on the head. In a flash, he popped up onto his feet and regained his usual wriggling enthusiasm. Clearly, he was still excited to see me (my ego breathed a sigh of relief). He must have been in an unusually deep sleep, I figured. But then it happened again a few days later, and eventually became the reliable way of things. He simply couldn’t hear me anymore. Even boiled down to its most basic mechanics, hearing is remarkable. Sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. In turn, those vibrations are transmitted through a series of minuscule bones (imaginatively called the hammer, anvil and stirrup) and into the cochlea, a spiral-shaped chamber lined with thousands of tiny hairs. These hairs convert the vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can then use to divine an astonishing amount of information, filtering background noise, separating overlapping sounds and inferring direction and distance. All of this from subtle vibrations in the air. It is reasonable to expect that such an Deli-Egg Bodo’ssome wear intricate system mightatsuffer with age, and it does. This gradual degradation—called presbycusis—happens in people and dogs alike. Cats, ever the contrarians, are considerably less prone. As this process advances, sound be-
comes muffled and some frequencies may be lost entirely. Although it doesn’t happen all at once, many animals are so good at accommodating for the loss that owners still perceive a sudden onset when they finally notice. There are other conditions that could masquerade as presbycusis, which is why it’s wise to get any pet checked out if it’s showing signs of hearing loss. Ear infections are the most common, and can jam up the ears with swelling and discharge. More severe infections can break through

Another 2017 closing After dinner service on New Year’s Eve, Threepenny Café permanently closed its doors at 420 W. Main St. The farm-totable restaurant, which owners Merope Pavlides and Peter Emch opened in spring 2014, announced its closing in a Facebook post the morning of December 29. “While we are saddened to end the work we’ve done at Threepenny Café, we are excited to discover what comes next for us as we continue our commitment to changing our country’s food system. We urge you to follow the work of Chef Jeff Deloff as he continues to make his mark as part of the Real Food movement,” the note read.

hen Hassan Kaisoum moved Aromas Café from its original location in the Virginia Department of Forestry building to Barracks Road Shopping Center in 2007, he returned often to Fontaine Research Park to walk the nature trails he’d come to know well since first opening the restaurant in 1998. On those walks, he thought about the loyal customers who’d followed him from one spot to the next, and he also thought about the Red Cross fundraiser for the families of 9/11 victims he hosted on the lawn in front of the building—how customers showed up to enjoy a meal, music and dancing while raising tens of thousands of dollars for the charity. After leaving Barracks Road Shopping Center in October, Kaisoum will reopen Aromas Café in the Forestry Building at 900 Natural Resources Dr. this week. Kaisoum is eager to wish customers a happy new year, and he’s especially excited to continue serving the same flavorful Moroccan and Mediterranean food he’s become known for—and at a lower price. Last Wednesday, two of Kaisoum’s longtime customers stopped by to see the new (well, new-old) space, and when Kaisoum handed them menus, they were shocked: The chicken shawarma sandwich, previously priced at $11.95, is now $7.95, and other menu items have dropped in price as well. (Lower rent means lower prices, Kaisoum implied.) Before hugging Kaisoum goodbye, the men said they’d be among the first in line on reopening day. In addition to the salads, sandwiches, entrées, appetizers and sides that have been Aromas’ menu mainstays for years, the café
will now serve breakfast. Aromas Café will be open 7:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday, with extended hours in the spring. Pausing for a moment in the dining room filled with orchids and brightly colored paintings of Moroccan doorways by local artist Eli Frenzen, Kaisoum reflects on what it feels like to be back in the place where it all began 20 years ago: “Here, where it is, is very sentimental to me.”

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
By Rob Brezsny
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A rite of passage lies ahead. It could and should usher you into a more soulful way of living. I’m pleased to report that this transition won’t require you to endure torment, confusion or passive-aggressive manipulation. In fact, I suspect it could turn out to be among the most graceful ordeals you’ve ever experienced—and a prototype for the type of breakthrough that I hope will become standard in the months and years to come. Imagine being able to learn valuable lessons and make crucial transitions without the prod of woe and gloom. Imagine being able to say, as musician PJ Harvey said about herself, “When I’m contented, I’m more open to receiving inspiration. I’m most creative when I feel safe and happy.”
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The Kalevala is a 19thcentury book of poetry that conveys the important mythology and folklore of the Finnish people. It was a wellspring of inspiration for English writer J. R. R. Tolkien as he composed his epic fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. To enhance his ability to steal ideas from The Kalevala, Tolkien even studied the Finnish language. He said it was like “entering a complete wine cellar filled with bottles of an amazing wine of a kind and flavor never tasted before.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Pisces, in 2018 you will have the potential to discover a source that’s as rich for you as Finnish and The Kalevala were for Tolkien.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Three centuries ago, Capricorn genius Isaac Newton formulated principles that have ever since been fundamental to scientists’ understanding of the physical universe. He was also a pioneer in mathematics, optics and astronomy. And yet he also expended huge amounts of time and energy on the fruitless attempt to employ alchemy to transform base metals into solid gold. Those efforts may have been interesting to him, but they yielded no lasting benefits. You Capricorns face a comparable split. In 2018, you could bless us with extraordinary gifts or else you could get consumed in projects that aren’t the most productive use of your energy. The coming weeks may be crucial in determining which way you’ll go.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Are you familiar with the phrase “open sesame”? In the old folk tale “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,” it’s a magical command that the hero uses to open a blocked cave where treasure is hidden. I invite you to try it out. It just may work to give you entrance to an off-limits or previously inaccessible place where you want and need to go. At the very least, speaking those words will put you in a playful, experimental frame of mind as you contemplate the strategies you could use to gain entrance. And that alone may provide just the leverage you need.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): While thumping around the internet, I came across pointed counsel from an anonymous source. “Don’t enter into a long-term connection with someone until you’ve seen them stuck in traffic,” it declared. “Don’t get too deeply involved with them until you’ve witnessed them drunk, waiting for food in a restaurant for entirely too long or searching for their phone or car keys in a panic. Before you say yes to a deeper bond, make sure you see them angry, stressed or scared.” I recommend that you take this advice in the coming weeks. It’ll be a good time to deepen your commitment to people who express their challenging emotions in non-abusive, non-psychotic ways.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): My high school history teacher Marjorie Margolies is now Chelsea Clinton’s mother-in-law. She shares two grandchildren with Hillary Clinton. Is that something I should brag about? Does it add to my cachet or my happiness? Will it influence you to love me more? No, nah and nope. In the big scheme of things, it’s mildly interesting
but utterly irrelevant. The coming weeks will be a good time for Cancerians like you and me to renounce any desire we might have to capitalize on fake ego points like this. We Crabs should be honing our identity and self-image so they’re free of superficial measures of worth. What’s authentically valuable about you?

old stuff right out the door and haul it to the dump or the thrift store. Hopefully, this will get you in the mood to launch a sweeping purge of anything else that lowers the morale and élan around the house: dusty mementoes, unflattering mirrors, threadbare rugs, chipped dishes and numbing symbols. The time is ripe, my dear homies, to free your home of dead weight.
(July 23-Aug. 22): If I were your mentor or your guide, I’d declare this the Leo Makeover Season. First I’d hire a masseuse or masseur to knead you firmly and tenderly. Then I’d send you to a nutritionist, stylist, dream interpreter, trainer and life coach. I’d brainstorm with the people who know you best to come up with suggestions for how to help free you from your illusions and infuse your daily rhythm with 20 percent more happiness. I’d try to talk you out of continuing your association with anyone or anything that’s no damn good for you. In conclusion, I’d be thorough as I worked to get you unlocked, debugged and retooled.
Scorpio
Virgo
Sagittarius
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “It takes an extraordinary person to carry themselves as if they do not live in hell,” says writer D. Bunyavong. In accordance with the astrological omens, I nominate you Virgos to fit that description in the coming weeks. You are, in my estimation, as far away from hell as you’ve been in a long time. If anyone can seduce, coax or compel heaven to come all the way down to earth for a while, it’s you. Here’s a good way to get the party started: Gaze into the mirror until you spy the eternal part of yourself.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1956, the prolific Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The award committee praised his “high spirit and artistic purity.” The honor was based on his last 13 books, however, and not on his first two. Waterlilies and Souls of Violet were works he wrote while young and still ripening. As he aged, he grew so embarrassed by their sentimentality that he ultimately tried to track down and eradicate every copy. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because I think it’s a favorable time for you to purge or renounce or atone for anything from your past that you no longer want to be defined by.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, I encourage you to move the furniture around. If you feel inspired, you might even want to move some of that
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When he was 16 years old and living in New York, Ralph Lifshitz changed his name to Ralph Lauren. That was probably an important factor in his success. Would he have eventually become a famous fashion designer worth $5.8 billion if he had retained a name with “shitz” in it? The rebranding made it easier for clients and customers to take him seriously. With Ralph’s foresight as your inspiration, Scorpio, consider making a change in yourself that will enhance your ability to get what you want.

(March 21-April 19): I’m happy to inform you that life is giving you permission to be extra demanding in the coming weeks— as long as you’re not petty, brusque or unreasonable. Here are a few examples that will pass the test: “I demand that you join me in getting drunk on the truth”; “I demand to receive rewards commensurate with my contributions”; “I demand that we collaborate to outsmart and escape the karmic conundrums we’ve gotten ourselves mixed up in.” On the other hand, Aries, ultimatums like these are not admissible: “I demand treasure and tribute, you fools”; “I demand the right to cheat in order to get my way”; “I demand that the river flow backwards.”

Q&A Have you seen any changes in your workplace since the #MeToo movement began? I work for an Episcopal Church and our diocese takes any sort of harassment very seriously...that’s why there is mandatory training. It is thorough and complete and you cannot work or do ministry unless you have taken this training and keep current with it. One would think this kind of training had been permeating the American workplace and that enforcement of policies was the norm. Guess not.
Yes, and I’m self-employed. MICHAEL CLEM/EMAIL

Nurse, entrepreneur, wife, and mother, Shannon Turlip McElroy, was empowered by what she called 'The Monday Digest'—a weekly status report from her mortgage loan officer. Because of this, she had a clear picture of her buying power. It's not surprising that an active, growing family would partner with the UnBranch—a bank that doesn’t seem like a bank. At Bank of the James, our mortgage loan officers have access to conventional and not-so conventional mortgage resources to provide you with an array of options. You'll borrow with ease. And momma, that's UnREAL buying power. BANK POWERFULLY. UnBranch with Bank of the James.
