Strictly business A few hours after he was confronted by angry protesters at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the long-awaited Hillsdale Drive Extension (see page 12), Fifth District Representative Tom Garrett met with a friendlier crowd: tech leaders who’d gathered at Charlottesville’s ChartIQ on Friday, January 26. “Tom came down to talk with a group of local tech entrepreneurs about net neutrality,” says Dan Schleifer, ChartIQ cofounder and CEO. “While Tom is generally anti-regulation, so are we as business owners, but we all want a level playing field on the internet. Tom was very open to learning more, and discussing common sense ways to address these concerns without creating undue regulatory burden.” According to Garrett, he visited the downtown company, which provides charting and data visualization solutions for capital markets applications, because he wanted to hear from people who create jobs.

IN BRIEF “Demonized?”
Jason Kessler’s March perjury trial will take place in Albemarle, despite his one-inch thick motion to change the venue because, he says, dozens of news stories make it impossible to get a fair trial. His lawyer, Mike Hallahan, argued “sleeper activists” could slip onto the jury, but Judge Cheryl Higgins said January 30 the publicity wasn’t enough to change the location of the trial, and she’s taking the motion under advisement.

Good luck getting around town without encountering a wide-eyed girl at a cookie booth who wants to sell you one box of each flavor. How could you say no? For the past two weekends, girls have set up shop at dozens of locations around town. To get the scoop on this year’s cookie sale, we went straight to the source. “I love selling cookies because it makes me feel really happy,” says Keri Smith, a Burnley Moran second-grader in Brownie Troop 352. “And the best part is maybe at the end, we get to eat them.” Keri’s friend and fellow second-grader Lylah Burtner says, “My favorite part is when I meet new people, because I always make friends when I sell the cookies.” Troops make a 65-cent profit from each box they sell. “I’m hoping I can get a big, big, big mansion and then I’ll get a fuzzy couch,” says Lylah. It’s Lylah’s first cookie sale, and she’s quickly reminded that girls don’t get to keep their profits. Keri says she hopes their troop raises enough money to go to Virginia Beach this summer. “I just really, really, really want to go to the beach,” she says. Janet Driscoll Miller, the membership facilitator for the local service unit, says cookie sales help fund all of the activities and support that the Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline Council provides. For every box of cookies purchased, 74 percent goes directly back to Girl Scouts. “Even more important than the funds, however, are the opportunities to learn business and marketing skills,” she says. “I was a Girl Scout as a girl, and as an adult, I started my own business and run a marketing agency.” The top-selling cookie in Charlottesville and Albemarle? “As is true probably everywhere, our area loves Thin Mints,” says Driscoll Miller. Local girls sold more than 30,000 boxes of them last year. And if you need to get your fix, there’s an app for that. Sales end March 31, so download the Cookie Finder app today to search for a cookie booth near you.
By the numbers: ■ 70,980 boxes of cookies sold in Charlottesville/Albemarle in 2017 ■ 30 percent were Thin Mints ■ 21 percent were Caramel deLites ■ 750 Girl Scouts in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area ■ $4 for one box of cookies ■ $0.65 troop profit per box

Shoo flu, don’t bother me We’ve all heard that the flu is particularly nasty this year, but the local area hasn’t been hit as hard as others. According to the Virginia Department of Health, there’s widespread flu activity in the state’s Northwest region where our Thomas Jefferson Health District is located, but in the second week of the year—the most recent available data—only 4 percent of emergency room and urgent care visits were for flu-like illnesses. The UVA Health System saw 150 probable flu cases between January 8 and 21, says spokesperson Eric Swensen. “At this point, we’re characterizing the flu season as an early and moderately heavy flu season, but not outside our recent experience with the flu,” he says. And according to Charlottesville High School nurse Ann Sandridge, a minimal number of kids in city schools have come down with the illness. “There are no red flags right now,” she says.

Delegate Steve Landes again is carrying a bill that would affect the revenue-sharing agreement loved by Charlottesville and loathed by Albemarle. In exchange for ceasing annexation in 1982, the county has since paid the city $311 million, even after the state halted annexation in 1987. The bill allows localities in such agreements for more than 10 years to renegotiate and calls for reviews after five years in future economic growth-sharing deals.

Reasonable request Locals hire attorney, challenge Optima premiums By Lisa Provence
rate was in part because of “the relative health of the population that’s buying.” And consideration of morbidity in determining that rating factor “violates federal law,” Angoff writes to Virginia’s commissioner of Insurance Jacqueline Cunningham. Optima spokesperson Kelsea Smith says, “We did not violate the guidelines” and comments the company did “are simply false.” Angoff also points out that Optima’s own rating factor to insure small groups in Charlottesville is .937, a difference that “would seem to have no rational basis.” Angoff calls Optima’s 8 percent profit factor in its individual premium rates “unjustifiable” for a nonprofit. And because Optima uses a 5.7 profit for its small group rates,

Ian Dixon and Sara Stovall, at a Charlottesville for Reasonable Health Insurance meeting in December at Random Row Brewery, have raised more than $17,000 and hired a powerhouse lawyer to question Optima’s tripled health insurance premiums.
president for health affairs, who disputes Optima’s assertion that UVA is the reason premiums skyrocketed. He says Optima clients account for fewer than 1 percent of commercially insured patients cared for at UVA, and “Sentara has the opportunity to benefit from these higher premiums while paying itself as a care provider.” Shannon also takes issue with Optima’s claim that Charlottesville is a high-cost region for health care, and cites a 2015 New York Times article that puts this area 85th lowest among 306 hospitals nationwide for commercially insured beneficiaries. The challenge could be a first. Dixon says he’s “not aware of a consumer who’s challenged an insurance company on its rates.” And some of the details brought out in Angoff ’s letter “are a hard thing for the Bureau of Insurance to dismiss,” he says. At press time, the Bureau of Insurance had not responded to the letter. “We’re super impatient,” says Stovall. At the same time, she realizes, “We need to give the bureau the space and time to do their investigation.” In her dream scenario, she hopes “it will motivate the bureau to take immediate action and modify the rates,” she says. And there’s some urgency for those who lost coverage when their provider pulled out of the area. “Everybody using the Affordable Care Act before qualifies for a special enrollment period until March 2,” says Stovall. “We’re still mad as hell about it and because there’s this special enrollment period, we feel like this is something we can fight for,” says Dixon. Stovall sees longer-term damage from the tripled health insurance premiums, which could deter someone considering starting a small business and could set a precedent for another insurance company to use the rates as a basis for setting its own. Says Dixon, “Anyone coming to this area could say this is a very expensive area.”
“We’re still mad as hell about it and because there’s this special enrollment period, we feel like this is something we can fight for.” IAN DIXON
“We will continue to challenge the government decisions involving the project,” says Rick Webb, an activist who has been instrumental in the fight against the pipeline since the project was announced in September 2014, and who now chairs Pipeline CSI. “But with certain pre-construction activities already underway, citizen oversight is essential given the limited resources of government agencies that are responsible for regulating pipeline construction.” Dominion Energy and Duke Energy are the major companies backing the ACP. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which gave them approval to start building it in October (subject to other state and federal approvals), also approved limited tree felling along the pipeline’s route on January 19.
Dominion has started knocking down trees in Virginia and West Virginia, according to spokesperson Aaron Ruby, who says his company only needs a few more approvals before Dominion requests a notice from FERC to proceed with full construction, which he expects to happen by spring. But not without the watchdogs. “The need for citizen oversight of pipeline construction has been made clear by observations of recent pipeline projects and ineffective government agency response to repeated violations and water resource harm,” says Webb. “We have no reason to expect more from the agencies during construction of the ACP.” —Samantha Baars

Hundreds of anti-Atlantic Coast Pipeline activists have emerged to monitor construction on the $6 billion gas fracking project. A coalition of more than 50 anti-pipeline groups called the Allegheny-Blue Ridge Alliance launched the Pipeline Compliance Surveillance Initiative last week to ensure strict application of environmental laws and regulations for the ACP, which they say will wreak havoc on its 600-mile course from West Virginia, through nearby areas in Virginia like Nelson and Buckingham counties and into North Carolina. Volunteers with Pipeline CSI will initially focus on monitoring the many mountainous areas of the pipeline route, where they say pipeline construction threatens water quality in the headwaters of major watershed systems.

fter Charlottesville earned the dubious distinction of having the most expensive health insurance premiums in the country, some of the area residents who couldn’t afford to pay $3,000 a month formed Charlottesville for Reasonable Health Insurance and retained a lawyer who’s made a career out of keeping insurance companies honest. Washington, D.C., attorney Jay Angoff was hired to implement the Affordable Care Act in 2010, and before that he was the commissioner of insurance in Missouri. He has worked for Ralph Nader, and he published a landmark study in 2005 that showed how insurance companies artificially inflated malpractice insurance rates for doctors, which in turn increased prices throughout the system. “He developed a reputation for using the legal system to fight for the little guy against Goliath insurance companies,” says the Washington Post. And that’s why Sara Stovall and Ian Dixon are happy to have Angoff on their side. “We’re hoping the name recognition of our attorney and the details our letter has” will get the Bureau of Insurance to take another look at Charlottesville’s rates, says Dixon. Dixon created a GoFundMe account to raise money to pay for legal fees, and it’s reached $17,636 of its $20,000 goal. On January 4, Angoff sent a nine-page letter to the Bureau of Insurance detailing ways Optima Health calculated its premiums here that he says are “excessive” and even a violation of federal law. For example, Charlottesville has a rating factor of 1.579 that far exceeds any other geographic area in the state and that of other carriers, which use 1.07 or lower for this area. Optima executives told Stovall and Dixon that
individual policyholders may be subsidizing small group policyholders, says Angoff. He suggests the bureau “may wish to consider whether such a strategy could reasonably be considered unfair discrimination.” The profit margin “was merely an estimate,” and Optima has lost $32 million over three years on the exchange, says Smith. Angoff notes that Optima’s ownership of Martha Jefferson Sentara should enable it to negotiate favorable terms for those it insures and to provide leverage with UVA Health System, which Optima has claimed charges higher rates and is more expensive to cover. That allegation drew a letter to the Post from Richard Shannon, UVA executive vice

Upstaged Hillsdale connector dedication overshadowed by Garrett protesters By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com
T
he official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the nearly 30-year-old Hillsdale Drive Extension project was overshadowed by protesters who came to confront a congressman who was scheduled to speak. Fifth District Representative Tom Garrett was swarmed by a crowd of about 25 angry constituents as he arrived at the January 26 ceremony where at least 11 state and local police officers were present. As City Councilor Kathy Galvin gave her opening remarks about the new roadway, the crowd lambasted Garrett about a bevy of topics, mostly including health care and his alleged refusal to meet with his constituents. Law enforcement stood between the congressman and the crowd as he took the podium, and warned away protesters who attempted to hold their anti-Garrett signs behind him as he spoke. Among those signs were “One Term Wonder,” “283 Days Until Midterms” and a blown up photo of the Republican House of Representatives member posing with Jason Kessler, the homegrown white nationalist who organized the summer’s Unite the Right rally that left three dead and dozens injured. “You met with him. Why not the rest of us?” asked the sign. At times, Garrett was difficult to hear over the shouts from protesters, but he commended the cooperative effort of the city and county on the road extension that’s been on the books since the 1990s. Construction on the two-lane, multimodal roadway began in June 2016. It runs parallel to Route 29, with dedicated turn lanes from the county’s Rio Road to the city’s Hydraulic Road. It includes 3,600 linear feet of a shared-use path on its east side and 5,800 linear feet of sidewalk on its west

side, which is south of Greenbrier Drive. New additions also include the roundabout at Zan Road and a new traffic signal at Seminole Court and Hillsdale Drive. Garrett—along with Galvin, City Manager Maurice Jones, Albemarle County Board of Supervisors representatives Ann Mallek and Ned Gallaway and VDOT engineer John Lynch—used a giant pair of shears to snip the ribbon near the roundabout. But the congressman didn’t stick around for much longer after that. The angry mob followed him to his black SUV and circled it as he tried to leave, and most were responsive when the driver laid on the horn. But detractors weren’t the only attendees—at least five people brought pro-Garrett signs, and even more showed up in support of him. John Miska, a local veteran who’s often spotted at political events, said Garrett was able to solve a years-long problem for him in a matter of days. The veteran says he’s taken opiates to manage chronic pain for years, which have caused his teeth to rot. He’s hounded the Department of Veterans Affairs for dental care for two years. About three weeks ago, Miska filled out some paperwork at Garrett’s office at the congressman’s request, and Miska says he was headed to a dentist to have two necrotic teeth pulled on January 30. “Something that would have cost a couple hundred dollars to fix if they would have done it in a timely manner is now going to cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars, and Tom is a little ticked off about that,” he says. Adds Miska, “Tom got involved and I got seen. And so these people complaining about their health care and all, they fail to realize that the whole cascade of problems with health care is because they tried to eat an elephant with one bite.”

snapping the ball was required on the line of108-9 scrimmage, “meaning the 291-7 others could run forward in mass collisions,” says Edds. 77-3 249-1 But the two football legacies proposed to allow the forward pass, require seven players 326-2 on the line of scrimmage, outlaw pulling and punching and breaking the game into four quarters with a halftime break in the middle. Previously, Edds says games were played with two long halves and little time for rest, leading to nasty injuries and deaths, including 26 footballrelated fatalities in 1909. “So Lambeth had the UVA football team play a spring game in 1910 with these new proposed rules and reported the results to Camp,” Edds adds. “And the first time the game of football was played this way, in a game with four quarters and a halftime, was at Lambeth Field during this exhibition.” The university’s football team played its games there until Scott Stadium was built in 1931. And in late 2017, the university announced plans to build a softball stadium at Lambeth Field. The Board of Visitors deferred a decision on the project on December 7, to give themselves more time to consider the community’s unfavorable response. Longtime Charlottesville resident John Bittner says he questions whether Lambeth Field’s historical significance is getting the weight it deserves. “Lambeth Field has an important place in the history of college sports, and UVA has a wonderful tradition of preserving historically important architectures, which perhaps, I’d say, probably should be extended to Lambeth Field, as well,” he says.

head of Super Bowl LII, we’re looking back at Charlottesville’s connection to modern football. And in case you haven’t heard—it’s pretty monumental. Named after Dr. William Lambeth, who’s known widely as the University of Virginia’s “father of athletics,” Lambeth Field was constructed at the college in 1901 as a place to play football, baseball and track. In 2013, on the 100-year anniversary of the completion of the stadium, UVA alumni Kevin Edds funded a plaque at the historic site to memorialize the man and his contribution to one of the nation’s favorite sports. “Dr. Lambeth is one of the most unheralded leaders of early American football,” says Edds, who graduated from the university in 1995, and is the producer of Wahoowa: The History of UVa Football and Hoos Coming to Dinner, which premiered at the Virginia Film Festival in 2010. In his research, Edds says he learned that Lambeth, a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association football rules committee who started attending NCAA meetings in their second year of existence, teamed up there with Walter Camp, the father of American football. “Football was a violent game where you could pull and punch the opposition,” says Edds. “Lambeth and Camp sought to change the rules to make the game safer.” When the game was first played, forward passes were prohibited and only the player

hat started as a “friendly” $20 million loan could be headed to foreclosure and an auction on the courthouse steps of five Waterhouse units because the arrangement between architect Bill Atwood and Great Eastern Management’s Chuck Rotgin has become decidedly less friendly. The legal notice of a trustee’s sale of five condominiums that recently ran in the Daily Progress caught Atwood off guard, and he told that paper the auction would not take place. But following a court hearing January 25, four of the five units were still scheduled to be sold January 29 in front of the Albemarle Circuit Courthouse, according to Rotgin’s attorney, Jonathan Deem. However, the auction did not take place. One unit—the only residential condo that sold when the top floors went on the market in 2014—got a two-week reprieve in the building that houses WorldStrides headquarters and two top floors of empty units with stunning views. Its owner, Lauren Driscoll’s HHII LLC, bought a 1,942-square-foot unit for a little more than $1 million, and that property is part of the foreclosure sale because it was one of the units securing a deed of trust for the $20.57 million loan Great Eastern’s Water Street Investments made to Atwood’s Waterhouse LLC. Even according to court documents, the sale was unusual because most of the purchase price was held in an escrow account for three years because Driscoll wanted to make sure the building would indeed be built out. The closing statement said “the seller’s attorney shall see to the release of this property from the deed of trust.” That didn’t happen, and part of the arguments in court were about whether emails and oral agreements that Water Street Investments allegedly made constitute a contract.
“It was reliance on that assurance that Ms. Driscoll went ahead with the closing October 24,” said her attorney, Ed Lowry. Attorney John Dezio represented Atwood in the sale, and he followed up with Water Street Investments to release the lien, according to Lowry. A representative of the lender asked for changes, which Dezio made, and “WSI never in fact signed it,” said Lowry. “Is that a contract?” Deem argued that the person asking for the changes was an administrative assistant not authorized to release Driscoll’s condo from the deed of trust. In December, Atwood and Driscoll amended their agreement to release the escrow funds, and according to Lowry, Rotgin had no objection to the release. However, none of those funds went to Rotgin’s entities to pay off the debt. “That’s the real reason we’re here today,” said Deem. He said Driscoll has remedies should her condo be sold at auction, such as title insurance or a claim against whoever gave her advice on buying a condo with a deed of trust. For Lowry, the scenario that his client could sue to find relief wasn’t a good one, especially “if Waterhouse is broke,” he said. Judge Rick Moore said he needed time to make a decision, and Deem agreed to postpone the sale of Driscoll’s unit for two weeks. In November, Atwood transferred five units to Rotgin’s LLC for a little more than $5 million. In 2016, he handed over six units for nearly $3.3 million. Atwood, who still owns the remaining three units on the top floor, says he owes Great Eastern $13.5 million “and change.” He says interest on the loan is $6.5 million. Atwood was not in court, but earlier he said the decision to sell the condos on the courthouse steps “was completely wrong and damages the project. It’s a very bad business decision and hurtful and it damages me.” Rotgin was in court, and afterward, when asked to comment, he said, “You’ve got to be kidding.”

App lets child heart patients recover at home— while being monitored at a distance

COURTESY PHOTO
T
Chelle Adewale-Yusuf and her husband, Isah Yusuf, both say the Building Hope app helped ease their minds as they cared for their son, Prince, after his heart surgery.
Adewale-Yusuf says she misses the app at her son’s appointments now, when questions such as how often and how much he is eating isn’t available at the touch of a button. Koshansky, the client account director at Locus, says the app has gone through several versions since its creation, and that new features are continually being added for both clients and physicians. “It’s a no-brainer that children especially do well in the comfort of their own home with their parents, receiving that nurture and support, which lowers risk of infections,” she says. Since launching two years ago, the app has been used to monitor about 60 to 70 single ventricle patients at UVA, and five children’s hospitals around the country have started using the app as well, with about five other contracts in the works. Vergales says the great thing about the software is that it’s patient agnostic, meaning it was designed to measure any variable needed. It’s also being used for pediatric hematology/oncology and organ transplant patients at UVA, and in the next couple of weeks, the program will roll out with NICU patients.
“We pride ourselves so much as pediatricians in really feeling like we can become a part of the patient’s family, and there’s no bigger honor for me than to be entrusted with the care of their child, with the health and wellbeing of their child,” says Vergales. “For me to find a way to engage the parent in the health of the child and to feel like we are truly doing this as a team is without a doubt one of the reasons I get up and go to work in the morning.”
WAVE OF THE FUTURE

The Building Hope app allows HIPAA-compliant video conferences so that a health care provider can see a patient in real time. Cardiologists at UVA might have patients as far as six hours away, and they are able to watch a patient’s breathing, for instance, and determine if he needs to go to the ER. In the future, Dr. Jeff Vergales predicts the app itself will no longer be necessary when Bluetoothenabled devices, such as scales, could monitor a patient’s weight and record it directly in his electronic medical records.
January 31 – February 6, 2018 c-ville.com
hirty to 40 years ago, children born with single ventricle heart defects in which the heart only has one of two functioning chambers usually died, according to UVA Health System pediatric cardiologist Dr. Jeff Vergales. In the last 20 years, mortality rates have gone down due to surgical advances, but a large proportion—10 to 15 percent—of patients would leave the hospital and die suddenly at home. Over the last decade, doctors learned that children give warning signs—a steady drop in their oxygen level or an inability to gain weight—and the home-monitoring system was born: Babies and their parents were sent home with equipment such as an oxygen meter and scale, and told to write down everything (a baby’s weight, feeding times, etc.) every day. With the introduction of the home-monitoring system, the national mortality rate dropped to 4 percent, which was good—but not perfect. The problem, Vergales says, was how the data was being collected, and when he took over the single ventricle heart program at UVA five years ago, he noted flaws in the system: As the main surgical center in the state, the hospital treats patients up to six hours away, and although parents noted their baby’s vital signs and health data in a binder, when they called every couple of days to report the information, doctors were receiving news they should have responded to days earlier. Two and a half years ago Vergales and close friend and former pediatric ICU nurse Lindsey Koshansky were having drinks on the Downtown Mall and talking about why doctors weren’t receiving patient’s data quicker. Koshansky, who had left UVA to work at Locus Health in 2013, mentioned that the local health care technology company had launched an athome monitoring program for adults so hospital staff could keep a close eye on patients, and make sure they weren’t readmitted to the hospital. The pair thought why not create a similar program for pediatric patients, and they spent the next eight months building the software platform. But in stark contrast to normal consumer products, they started with the clinician—not with the customer—in mind: The most important thing was how data input by parents would sync directly with a child’s electronic medical records at the hospital. For the last couple of years, parents of babies with congenital heart disorders have been sent home from the UVA hospital with an iPad loaded with the Building HOPE app. As the parent records a baby’s stats into the app, not only are his electronic records automatically updated, but health care providers can see graphs that chart trends the child’s health. Predictive algorithms also help doctors target children who are becoming at-risk for a certain complication before the situation is dire. Chelle Adewale-Yusuf and her husband, Isah Yusuf, found out when they went to their gender-reveal sonogram that their son, Amir “Prince,” had tricuspid atresia, in which the blood can’t flow from the top right chamber of the heart to the bottom. Prince had surgery on June 5, 2017, four days after he was born, to put a shunt in the right side of his heart. Adewale-Yusuf, a labor and delivery nurse at UVA, says she was grateful that the family could use the Building HOPE app during the first five months of Prince’s life because it lessened the stress of caring for a sick baby. Prince took Lasix (a diuretic) to help reduce fluids, and by tracking his weight daily and interacting with the app, his parents were able to reduce the drug at the correct times. Adewale-Yusuf says it was a relief to note every feeding, bowel movement and comment or question she had in the system, so that when she called her son’s health care providers everything they needed to know was in front of them. The family returned the iPad and the at-home monitoring equipment when Prince had a second surgery November 1 to remove the shunt and use his own tissue to create a pathway in his heart for the blood to flow.

s Joshua Davis scales a rock climbing wall or leaps off a large boulder with his mouth wide open in a huge grin, the 8-year-old looks like any other summer camper his age. But this is no ordinary camp–it’s a clinical trial for children ages 5 to 8 who have Type 1 diabetes to assess the effectiveness of artificial pancreas technology. Joshua’s mother, Shannon, says her son didn’t show any diabetes’ warning signs—until it was almost too late. When he was 11 months old, Joshua had been sick on and off for a couple of months but nobody could figure out what was wrong. He had started losing weight, but he had begun walking two months prior. He was wetting his diaper frequently, but they thought he just needed a bigger size. He was hungry and thirsty all the time, but he was a growing baby. Shannon says every symptom seemed like a normal sign of growing up. But the night before Shannon was scheduled to leave town for the weekend, Joshua did something he’d never done before: He fell out of his crib. After the fall, Joshua didn’t show any signs of concussion, so doctors said he didn’t need to come in, but his dad, Brian, monitored him overnight. The next morning, Joshua threw up, and Brian rushed him to the emergency room in Midlothian. At first, Joshua, who was lethargic and so dehydrated blood couldn’t be drawn, was diagnosed with the flu, but Brian kept insisting something else was wrong. Another doctor came in to see Joshua, and immediately noticed a fruity smell on his breath, a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis, and a vascular team was brought in to draw blood. When Joshua’s blood sugar level was tested it was 1,230–a normal range is 80 to 120. Joshua’s system was shutting down, and if he had gone home he likely would not have survived another three hours. Joshua spent several days in the pediatric ICU getting his levels back to normal, and his parents received strict instructions on how to monitor his glucose levels and deliver insulin. Doctors told Shannon even the smallest miscalculation of an insulin dosage can be lethal. Today, Joshua wears an Omnipod insulin pump, and he has to have his blood sugar tested every three hours to see if it’s too high (his body needs insulin) or too low (he needs
Joshua Davis, 8, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 months old. He calls the artificial pancreas a “future teller” because it determines how much insulin to administer.
PUMPED UP
The UVA Center for Diabetes Technology’s smartphonebased automated insulin delivery system, the DiAs (Diabetes Assistant), has been used by 425 subjects in clinical trials for a cumulative operation time of more than 18 years. Tandem Pump, an insulin pump company, just ran the first pilot trial and is doing clinical trials with the artificial pancreas technology licensed from TypeZero in order to collect documentation to get the artificial pancreas FDA approved and on the market.
to eat carbohydrates). On school days when he has P.E., it’s almost a given that Joshua won’t be able to go to recess because his insulin levels will be too low. Hypoglycemia can cause seizures or even death. Even with his diagnosis, Shannon says her son is an active kid who plays basketball and soccer, and is in Cub Scouts and on the honor roll. But the fear remains that his blood sugar might go too high or too low at any time and cause potentially life-threatening health problems. The good news: Shannon says they found a “life-changing” device. The bad news: It’s not on the market yet. Through Joshua’s pediatrician, the Davis family was connected with the UVA Center for Diabetes Technology’s clinical trial in May 2016 to test its artificial pancreas in young children. The device uses smart phone technology that is connected to an insulin pump and glucose monitor. The diabetes assistant software connects the pump with the monitor, which is a small probe under the skin that reads a body’s glucose level every five minutes. The software on the phone tells the pump exactly how much insulin to give Joshua based on the glucose level, thus the name artificial pancreas. The software was initially developed at UVA’s Center for Diabetes Technology about a decade ago, and it has undergone clinical trials with adults and children since. (Brian Davis, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 26, has participated in two of them, and says being able to trust the technology has allowed him to “live life the way I want to.”) During Joshua’s trial, the children spent three days at the Wintergreen camp, participating in physical activities while wearing the artificial pancreas. They were then monitored using their regular systems for another three days at home. Shannon says she and Joshua both cried when they had to give the artificial pancreas back—there were no interruptions to Joshua’s day, and the family could sleep through the night without needing to test his blood sugar. Even better, Joshua’s blood glucose levels were steady—no peaks and valleys— with only one slightly low reading of 70 the entire weekend. “They say Type 1 is a science, because it falls under the sciences, but it’s really an art form because every beat of their heart is a different stroke,” Shannon says. “When you think about a painting or a piece of music, it’s constantly changing. You can do the same things today that you do tomorrow and it’s a completely different day.” Dr. Daniel Chernavvsky, a UVA Diabetes Center for Technology researcher and chief medical officer at TypeZero, a digital health and medicine company formed by doctors at the center to help make the technology commercially available, says the clinical trials for younger patients are important because steady blood glucose levels throughout their lives help them avoid long-term complications such as heart disease. He stresses this is not a cure—although he says he has colleagues at UVA working on that—but it’s a way to make patients’ lives easier. “The idea is first of all to avoid severe complications, mainly hypoglycemia in young children, and I hope we will save lives,” he says. “This system allows parents to have a good night’s sleep and kids to have a safe and good night’s sleep—that, for me, is a big achievement…to give people their life back.”
LOCAL LENS Meet four health companies making headlines for groundbreaking work Kevin Eisenfrats graduated from University of Virginia in 2015 with the goal to be the first person to create a reliable, reversible and “easy” male contraceptive. You’ve seen the headlines: Labs and clinics around the world claim to have a vaccine or pill in the works. The fact is, there are only two or three for-profit organizations working on the technology—it’s a slow process, and most pharmaceutical companies are looking for groundbreaking advancements in cancer or genetics research. Eisenfrats’ company, Contraline, has raised about $3 million to date, and is leading the way in developing biotechnology centered on a hydrogel-based male contraceptive, which Eisenfrats calls the “holy grail” in health care. Hydrogel is nontoxic and nonhormonal, and would be injected directly into a man’s vas deferens tubes, where it would block the sperm from traveling through. The procedure would be quick and nearly pain-free. Because

Like an IUD implant, Eisenfrats says they hope to offer different expiration options. With the help of his mentor, Dr. John Hare, Eisenfrats made connections, found investors and collaborated with a handful of other professors at UVA. The company also recruited top-notch scientists and executives from all over the world to live and work here, and partner with them. This year, Contraline hopes to start testing on small animals in clinical trials, and then conduct human trials in 2019, with the hope of the product being on the market by 2022. Eisenfrats is tight-lipped on distribution plans, but prides himself on how hands-on his team is and how local the lab is. “[Most] biotech companies are outsourcing their R&D, whereas we do at least 95 percent of everything inhouse,” says Eisenfrats.

widely in the 2000s. Although there is no documentation of GMOs causing health problems in humans, farmers have noticed pesticide resistance, and negative effects on their land and in runoff after extended use. This is where AgroSpheres comes in. The company has recently seen “a breakthrough in genetic engineering [that has] created a solution to deliver crop protectants in a safe and scalable manner,” says Blackwell. Using their bioparticles, farmers won’t have to “worry about runoff, premature degradation or volatilization.” Currently, AgroSpheres is working to fully develop an encapsulated pesticide product. They are in the early stages, but close to having a biocontrol product. “We are testing and continuing to focus on the increase of product efficacy,” says Blackwell. Their intent is to decrease the reliance on synthetic chemicals. As they started researching and developing their technology, AgroSpheres “forged relationships with many of the local farms. Those relationships have helped us greatly,” says Blackwell. They were especially critical in the earlier field trials. “We are greatly tied to the region through our education and farming relationships,” says Blackwell.
RISING TO THE CROP AgroSpheres, which is developing an encapsulated pesticide, conducted field trials at several local farms.
What’s the latest: Earlier this month, UVA Health System held a topping-off ceremony for its expansion of the University of Virginia Medical Center, which will increase UVA’s emergency department from 43 beds to approximately 80 beds. A six-story tower is being constructed on top of the expanded emergency department on West Main Street; three floors will accommodate the conversion of semi-private rooms to private rooms, and the top three floors are earmarked as future space. A helipad will grace the top of the tower.

LOCAL LENS (CONTINUED) “A focused ultrasound is the most powerful sound you will never hear, but it’s the sound that could someday save your life,” says Dr. Neal Kassell, founder of Focused Ultrasound Foundation. Focused ultrasound is an early stage, non-invasive therapeutic technology that could serve as an alternative or supplement to traditional surgery for cancer treatment (based in radiation and chemotherapy), and “improve the lives of millions of people who suffer from serious medical disorders around the world,” he says. The technology has received FDA approval to treat essential tremor patients (such as Parkinson’s disease), and could be used to treat myriad other diseases, from hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease to neuropathic pain to fibrosis. The device uses multiple beams of light to focus on the center of the disease or damaged tissue, treating the heart of problem.
HOUND TECHNOLOGY
The Focused Ultrasound Foundation is now holding clinical trials to help treat animal patients. The first program takes place early this year at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and will use the ultrasound technology to treat soft-tissue tumors, such as sarcomas, in dogs.
But the dream-like-sounding technology has met many blockades. Kassell describes the current market as a glacial process: “The evolution of taking an idea and seeing widespread adoption as a standard of care takes decades.” He sees each day without utilizing this therapy as a day wasted; leading to “unnecessary death and disability for countless people.” Founded in 2006, the Focused Ultrasound Foundation has connected more than 550 providers with the technology via educational programs, initiatives, interactions and speaking opportunities. The company has major national and international clients (from China, Britain, Germany, Cypress and Israel, to name a few), backing it, and its clients help “do the busy work” by assisting manufacturers in getting reimbursements for filing and contracts, and continually working to get the clients’ technology FDA approval for treating diseases. One of the biggest validations the foundation has received, Kassell says, is being featured at the largest consumer electronics conference in the world, the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. “As UVA’s co-chairman of surgery for years, I made outstanding connections with what is now a spectacular team of 25 of superstars MDs and Ph.D.s,” Kassell says. “Charlottesville is a very good place for a position like the one we’re in. We are happy to be here, and will stay here.”

resistant to their chemotherapy or radiation treatments, Kalergis says. The drug is non-invasive, and helps patients with inoperable cancers, particularly those with glioblastoma—the brain cancer Senator John McCain has. In animal clinical trials, researchers compared the injected subjects to those that continued treatments sans TSC. “Those that received the vaccine, had 40 percent—a four-fold increase—chance at survival,” Kalergis says. Diffusion will begin trials on human cancer patients this year, and will wait up to three and a half years for the completion of all patients’ treatment plans and document their life post-cancer, before determining if the drug is ready for FDA approval. TSC wouldn’t be reserved just for cancer patients, though. “It could save someone’s life after they have a stroke or heart attack,” Kalergis says. “We foresee this drug being a standard in ambulances down the road. You have a stroke, you call 911, and a paramedic administers the shot on the way to the hospital.”

Diffusion Pharmaceuticals is a locally founded publicly traded lab tech company that is developing drugs that improve cancer treatments and susceptibility of the treatments. During his time at UVA, John Gainer, Ph.D., invented the novel concept of introducing drugs to enhance cancer treatments that work in tandem with a physician’s plan for his patients. The company’s leading drug is Trans Sodium Crocetinate, which, as CEO David Kalergis explains, would help patients fight their diseases better, with a better chance at survival. TSC encourages an increase in the amount of oxygen delivered to the tumor or affected areas in the body. “Doctors often see their cancer patients have a deficiency in oxygen, or the needed plasma in their blood, which results in hypoxia,” says Kalergis. Hypoxia can cause the death of tissue due to deprivation of oxygen and nutrients for an extended period of time, which exasperates the cancer symptoms and makes it more difficult for patients to fight the disease. Cancer patients with hypoxia are three times more

vaccines or pills to combat each strain, White says it’s “incredibly expensive and time-consuming to develop a new ‘designer drug,’” so they repurpose existing drugs. At the moment, her data suggest people could take two or three already available drugs that would work synergistically to prevent viruses like Ebola. White’s research is done independently, and she uses a surrogate laboratory system, which means the live Ebola virus is not housed at UVA. They use pseudo viruses that mimic the effects, and allow them to safely observe reactions to drugs without the risk of exposure to Ebola. “During the outbreak of Ebola in 2014 [in West Africa], a lot of unethical decisions were made by other organizations,” says Tamm. “People were in a hurry. You can’t test fast on animals, much less humans,” he says. The work of both researchers depends greatly on grants they receive and their partnership with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Frederick, Maryland. (Tamm’s lab just secured a new four-to-five-year grant from the NIAID.) “They are integral to our research, and help conduct clinical trials that we cannot perform here,” White says. In the next few years, they hope to proceed with animal trials, and then human trials. They believe a preventative drug for Ebola could be introduced within the next decade. “This solution isn’t lightyears away, but we do have to be patient,” Tamm says.
Since the 2014 Ebola outbreak, 11,315 people from six countries have died from the disease.

Homegrown drug improves cancer treatments
BREAKING OUT Ebola. The flu. The common cold. None of them have cures, or even adequate prevention drugs because they evolve and splay into thousands— possibly millions—of varying strains each year. “One therapeutic that fights one strain, or variation, of the virus will not fight the other variations,” says Dr. Judith White, a UVA researcher. White and Dr. Lukas Tamm have dedicated their academic and professional lives to researching designs for preventative drugs. Both lead separate labs at UVA Health System. Tamm was fascinated by molecular structures and the shapes of viruses when he was a student. That fascination developed into a critical need to observe and study these varying shapes, and how their structures could be the key to determining how they react to certain drugs. “My very first project was working on studying the structure of flu and understanding it more,” says Tamm. Many researchers jump ahead, eager to be a hero and deliver a cure-all vaccine, he says. “It’s important to start at a basic level. We need to look at changes in the structure and how it moves before we can treat it.” White’s research is focused on practical solutions or prophylactics for fighting neglected tropical diseases and viral infections in remote areas of the world. She is frustrated with labs and clinics that focus on creating “fancy therapeutics” that contain antibodies that will only fight one specific strain.

Rare tumors lead to the creation of a community healing network
27
Sera Snyder’s Healing U, an online and retreat-focused community for women cancer survivors, is modeled after her quest for health following surgeries for a desmoid tumor.
The first Healing U retreat took place last April and brought together 12 women from all over the country who all share the same diagnosis.
Nine hundred people a year in the U.S. are diagnosed with desmoid tumors. The tumors are slightly more prevalent in women than men, with a ratio of 2:1. The age range of patients is 15 to 60, with an average of 30 to 40.
WRITE AWAY
Sera Snyder says writing and journaling is an important component of Healing U, and she spent two years writing her memoir with guidance from WriterHouse. “I thought my story was about getting cancer and using these integrative modalities to heal, but it was really about finding myself and using these different tools to understand the relationship with myself and those around me,” she says. See more on Whistle Words, a writing workshop series for women with cancer, on page 35.
of dealing with a rare disease. Although her oncologist told her she was in remission, she knew she had more healing to do, so she assembled her own team: a therapist, nutritionist and functional medicine doctor (someone who treats the root causes of problems and not just symptoms), among others. As Snyder became healthier (she changed her diet and way of thinking), she says she also found confidence in making medical decisions for herself. Four years after her first surgery in 2009, a Dallas specialist performed a complete abdominal reconstruction, and he told her that her instincts that something was wrong were correct. This time, Snyder says her healing process was much smoother, because she had a strong team helping her—and she was in a better mental state. Since her surgeries, Snyder has switched careers from finance to health care consulting for integrative health and functional medicine physicians, whom she helps to navigate the health care system and bring this type of care to patients who need it. Snyder’s Healing U, which includes an online support system for women with desmoid tumors and cancer around the world, and the annual April retreat, is an offshoot of her consulting work—she says there’s a lack of support in the health care system for cancer survivors after they’re in remission, and she hopes to help facilitate more resources for local women. “Ultimately, my dream is to create a clinic where we can be focused on cancer survivorship and have that community where we can also talk about chronic disease, not just cancer,” Snyder says. “Half the battle is knowing you’re not alone.”

“I just believe we heal in community,” Snyder says. “I believe that when we come together we give someone else the opportunity to say me too. I’ve experienced that too, we heal in a new way that we can’t heal individually.” The nexus of Healing U formed after Snyder’s own harrowing battle 10 years ago with a desmoid tumor, which she refers to as a cancer (the aggressive fibromatosis is treated in the same way a cancerous fibrosarcoma would be, with treatment options including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery). Snyder’s doctor in Philadelphia had only seen two other patients with this type of tumor, and Snyder, then 26, says she knew in her gut (her pun for her medical journey) he was leading her to make a rushed surgical decision. After the tumor was removed, she continued to have chronic pain and had to give up running, her favorite activity. Snyder spent the next four years struggling with depression and pain and working through the isolating emotional aspect

RARE OCCURRENCE
EZE AMOS

iffany Black stood behind the starting line at the Running for Answers 5K, huddled with 40 friends and family members all dressed in matching white shirts with black sleeves and penguin hats. Normally, only Black and her mom attended the annual September race in Philadelphia that raises money for the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation. But 2014 was different: Black’s brother, Spencer (who loved penguins), had died that year at the age of 30 of complications from familial adenomatous polyposis, a rare disease. It wasn’t until her brother passed away, though, that Black truly understood that the incurable disease (she, her brother and father were all diagnosed with the hereditary form that causes tumors and polyps to grow in the intestines) could have life-threatening effects for her as well. That year, bolstered by a strong support system, Black began to network with more people who were also survivors of desmoid tumors, including Sera Snyder, founder of the 5K, which has raised $2.5 million since 2010. Black was first diagnosed with the condition at age 16, and at 22 she had to have her colon removed (fortunately, doctors were able to perform the procedure without an ostomy). But nine months after that surgery, a desmoid tumor—soft tissue tumors that are considered non-cancerous because they don’t spread to other parts of the body—formed at the incision area. At that time (1995), Black says her doctor could only find two medical articles written about these tumors—and one was in French. He put her on estrogen blockers and anti-inflammatories and hoped for the best. When Black eventually underwent surgery to have a large tumor removed from her abdomen, three more formed in its place (an effect of the hereditary condition). Today, she’s decided to live with the tumors, which are not getting bigger, although one has partially blocked one of her kidneys. The 47-year-old says the tumors make her look pregnant, and she went through a long period when the emotional stress of living with an incurable disease responsible for several health problems caused her to be caught in a depressive cycle. She wasn’t eating properly or taking care of herself—and that’s when she found Healing U. In April of last year, Snyder, a Charlottesville resident, held Healing U’s first retreat for 12 women who are all survivors of desmoid tumors. The women came to Madison’s Sevenoaks Retreat Center from New York, New Jersey and Seattle (Black had just a one-hour drive from Warrenton, but says she would have driven 500 miles), to attend the weekend of healing that included sharing their stories with one another and seminars with a nutritionist and functional medicine doctor, as well as restorative yoga and meditation sessions. Both Black and Snyder say the best part of the weekend was the camaraderie among the women, and that sharing went beyond medical tribulations to how their relationships with their families and partners had been affected by the disease. Each woman was paired with a buddy, and Black says she keeps in close contact with several of the women she met that weekend. Today, Black exercises regularly, eats well and says she’s going to remain “positive and happy and as stress free as I can be” while hoping for a cure.

The Front Porch teams with Appalachian State University professor and folklorist Cece Conway to explore West African influences and instruments through the folk akonting and the griot ngoni, which can be traced to the modern banjo. The Black and Global Roots Music Project will also feature Piedmont blues performed by Jeffrey Scott, whose mastery is carried forward from his legendary uncle, John Jackson, who handed over the torch before his death. “He said I’ve got to take the blues,” Scott told the Washington Times. “He said that it was just like being in a relay race.You have to take the blues and pass it on to someone else before you go.” Duos Seth Swingle and Fiona Balestrieri as well as Jake Blount and Tatiana Hargreaves will also perform. $15-20, 7:30.

efore she received a Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis at 39 years old, UVA writing professor Charlotte Matthews lived on a cattle farm. Whenever the farmer found a dead cow in the pasture, he bulldozed a grave and buried the animal. Matthews remembers the farmer whistling to himself in these moments. “He was so authentic in his whistling,” Matthews says, “Sometimes there just aren’t words. That’s how I felt a lot during treatment. Chemo played with my brain.” Matthews underwent a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation—mere millimeters from her heart, as she wrenchingly describes in her poem “Whistle What Can’t Be Said,” from her third book of poetry with the same name. After her diagnosis, Matthews struggled with depression and feeling powerless. As a lifelong writer with a notebook always nearby (she used to have a white dashboard in her car where she scribbled thoughts in black sharpie), it was only natural that Matthews turned to words to process her experiences. “We have a culture that is very willing to superficially talk about cancer,” she says. “We put a sticker on our car, run a race, buy a keychain.” Though she feels grateful for those efforts, something is still missing. “Do we get deeper?” she asks. “Not yet.” Matthews became determined to empower other women impacted by cancer to go deeper—to put their stories into words and collectively raise their voices. With the help of friend and filmmaker Betsy Cox, the multimedia Whistle Words project was born. It’s a series of free writing workshops facilitated by Matthews, where participants can share their stories, for
possible inclusion in a documentary film that Cox will produce. “If I meet another woman who has or who has had [breast cancer], it’s like meeting your cousin,” Matthews says. “The veneer drops to the floor. I can ask, ‘How was it when they lopped off your breasts?’ Real kind of talk.” In a previous workshop, Matthews prompted participants to envision a room—anything from a childhood bedroom to a bathroom at a party—and write for 10 minutes. “What came of that was so incredible,” says Cox. She remembers the experience of a friend who participated in that session. “She told me, ‘I knew I had things to work through, but placing myself in that room made me realize how much I had to say.’ Has there ever been a more important time for women to speak up?” After 14 years teaching writing at UVA and institutions like Hollins University and Bard College, Matthews has learned that the answers are only as good as her questions. She believes in the power of silence and play. She incorporates whimsy in every workshop, like having participants play Bananagrams or Scrabble. For another prompt, Matthews asks the women to bring in a commonplace photo of themselves—not from their wedding, graduation or other major life event—and write for 10 minutes in response to it. The participants share however much they choose, and in turn, the women listening share which aspects of their peers’ stories resonate with them. “We’ll make a group poem out of the lines they share—it’s immediately a community,” says Matthews, emphasizing that the workshops are judgment-free. “I want these women to walk away from a workshop with tools and a community.”

The Devil Makes Three
Christian Bale stars in Hostiles, a stark rendering of brutalities incurred during expansion into the American West.
By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com
W
Hostiles R, 133 minutes Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Violet Crown Cinemas lens of duty and retaliation. Once his mission is no longer to clear territory or prosecute criminals (whose actual guilt varies), that lens becomes thinner and thinner. This progression is assisted by Master Sergeant Thomas Metz (Rory Cochrane), who once fought for the Confederacy and has known nothing except war ever since and wants it all to end, with his honor intact if possible. No one is ever fully absolved of his sins in Hostiles, but every lead character is offered an opportunity to rise above the worst of his deeds; how they act on this opportunity depends on the individual. It is politically sharp without ever being didactic, philosophical without forgetting the purpose of its narrative. The film is certainly too long and the script would benefit from some dialogue rewrites, but Hostiles may be the most intelligent Western in recent memory.

ar has been a part of the human experience for all of recorded history. But what happens when the things that drive us to it are no longer a factor? Resources, borders, languages, religions; if we found ourselves in a situation where none of those things truly mattered, would we still find reasons to fight, or would we stop? Taken one step further, imagine you are in the middle of a bitter, bloody fight, heavy losses on both sides, when the stated purpose of it all suddenly ceases to be, though no formal truce or ceasefire has been announced. Would you keep up the fight simply out of spite and habit, even though the other side is no longer your enemy? That is the question asked by Hostiles, a revisionist Western by writer-director Scott Cooper (Black Mass, Crazy Heart) that takes a different view of the classic—and one-sided—cowboys and Indians story. Set in 1892, a time when the United States’ westward expansion has resulted in the extermination or displacement of most of the Native American population, though pockets of violent resistance remain. We follow Captain Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale), a decorated and brutal officer responsible for imprisoning or executing those who fight back. He is a disciplined military man who alleges to take no specific pleasure in his work, yet his desire
to exact revenge against those who have killed his comrades is palpable. Just before retirement, he is charged by President Benjamin Harrison with escorting Chief Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi), who is dying of cancer, from his jail cell in New Mexico to the Cheyenne ancestral lands in Montana. Blocker vehemently resists this mission, recalling battles with Yellow Hawk and those who died at the chief ’s hands, though he begrudgingly accepts. Along the way, they encounter a rogue band of Comanche, a woman (Rosamund Pike) who lost her family and home in a raid, greedy fur traders, and a condemned criminal (Ben Foster) who once fought alongside Blocker. All of these interactions contribute to an evolution in Blocker’s mentality, particularly the honor and dignity with which Yellow Hawk and his family conduct themselves. It would have been easy for Cooper to turn this into a plague-on-both-your-houses morality play, but his understanding of the Old West is much more sophisticated

Sigrid Eilertson likes to paint surrealistic images of creatures that straddle the line between the realistic and the fantastic, like larger-than-life goddesses and wild animals. She always works in a series, and she tends to work large—many of her paintings are 6 feet or taller. But for her most recent series, “Star Creatures: An Exploration of Astrological Signs in Mixed Media Collages,” on view this month at Studio IX, she painted the 12 signs of the Western zodiac on a different scale: None of the works is more than 20 inches on one side, and she says this series was unusually intimate, not just in scale but in subject matter. “Star Creatures” explores in animal form the traits embodied by each zodiac sign. Some of the Western zodiac signs are already represented animalistically, and for those signs, she says the challenge rested in painting the intangible traits: How to represent, in fish form, the highly emotional, deep-thinking Pisces (her own sign)? For the signs that are usually depicted in human form, Eilertson had to be a bit more creative, seeking out an animal on her own. When she thinks of Virgo, she thinks of strength, attention to detail, perfection: a horse with a moon in the center of its forehead. A Gemini, like her son, is social, curious, chatty: a talkative half-purple, half-white cat. Eilertson, an art therapist, is compelled to paint animals because

they’re closer to the earth, to survival and primal instincts. They don’t get caught up in the emotional minutiae that consumes humans, and that purity is alluring.

ALL YOU CAN EAT
Taking stock A familiar kitchen staple gets a rebrand By Sam Padgett
says of the healthy soup. “I noticed it when I saw the price for bones going up in local markets.” Regardless of the hype surrounding bone broth, it remains a good way to be more resourceful with your food: using animal bones that would be otherwise thrown out to make stock, and thus bypassing a TetraPak or aluminum can full of broth on a grocery store shelf. It’s a cooking technique worth boning up on.
eatdrink@c-ville.com
I
JOINT EFFORT If you aren’t ready to make it yourself, you can pick up the already made stuff at: • Feast! mobile coffee cart • The Elderberry apothecary shop • Charlottesville Cooking Shop Mama Meals delivery service
Make it easy Bone broth is simple to make. Animal bones, along with some vinegar and a combination of vegetables, herbs and seasonings (think onions, celery, thyme, pepper) are added to a boiling pot of water and left to simmer for...a while. Chicken bones, one of the more common bone broth bases, generally need around eight hours to sufficiently leach their flavor into the stock, while meatier bones such as beef, lamb and pork take longer (upward of 10 hours).
According to the folks at The Elderberry apothecary shop, the health benefits of bone broth area numerous. Here are five reasons to start sipping: 1. Diet and weight loss: Bone broth has several amino acids that boost metabolism and improve antioxidant efficiency. 2. Digestion and leaky gut: Collagen and gelatin (both found in the brown stuff) are vital proteins that repair the GI tract. 3. Arthritis and joint pain: The glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and gelatin in bone broth support joint flexibility and cartilage restoration. 4. Inflammation and anti-aging: The broth is reported to reduce inflammation, which eliminates chronic joint pain and boosts cell rejuvenation.

f you’ve been paying attention to local restaurant menus, coffee cart offerings and foodie magazines, odds are good that you’ve heard of bone broth. And while it sounds a bit ghoulish, bone broth is essentially what most people call “stock”: a thick, flavored broth made by boiling animal bones alongside other spices. But it’s not to be confused with regular broth, which is thinner and made by simmering meat (instead of meat-stripped bones) for a shorter period of time. According to Janet Wolfe, the owner and head herbalist at The Elderberry apothecary shop here in town, bone broth has long been a traditional culinary staple across the globe. She claims that it aids in recovery from illness and helps with a variety of conditions, including problems with digestion, joints and the immune system. In typical health product fashion, the list of bone broth’s supposed benefits is dubiously lengthy, but when compared to alternative methods of creating stock, like bouillon cubes, bone broth is ostensibly more nutritious. And if you’ve ever eaten pho or any sort of homemade soup, you probably didn’t realize you were slurping up a potential panacea. Local chef and Charlottesville Cooking School instructor Tom Whitehead has been using bone broth in his cooking since day one. Attracted by its simplicity and flavor, he has been making it for years. “But it is a recent phenomenon,” Whitehead

Orangetheory One of the more metrics-centric of the boutique gyms, Orangetheory opened in July in Barracks Road Shopping Center. With more than 850 franchise locations worldwide, Orangetheory offers members a one-hour, heart rate-based interval training workout that is different every day. Using cardio equipment like treadmills and water rowers interspersed with core and weight exercises for strength, the workout stresses getting your heart rate into the “orange” zone (84 to 91 percent of maximum) for at least 12 minutes. This, says studio manager Kelsie Floyd, is where the magic happens. “Hitting that orange zone is beneficial for the body, and maximizes the excess postexercise oxygen consumption,” says Floyd. “It’s an afterburn effect that lasts long after the workout is over.” Each member wears a personalized heart rate monitor linked to a large digital screen, which displays her heart rate and zone by color, so it’s easy for both the member and fitness coach to tell if they are on track. “People are busy and don’t want to have to think about what to do at the gym,” Floyd says. “These workouts are structured so they will work harder, and that structure holds them accountable.”
Orangetheory instructor Emily MacDonnell works with gym members to get them “in the zone”— 84 to 91 percent of their maximum heart rate—for at least 12 minutes during every workout.
treadHAPPY Local educators Claire Mitchell and Sara Currier wanted to turn their love of running into a group exercise experience that could be indulged no matter the weather or time of day. In early 2016, the pair converted a former auto service center into a light-filled treadmill studio. The club offers musicdriven, interval-oriented classes, some of which combine other elements such as yoga and strength training. Mitchell thinks that Charlottesville’s niche gyms offer a unique experience. “We know everyone by name, know if they have a particular health issue or injury. I think the community feel really helps people stay committed.” TreadHAPPY’s studio classes were developed in tandem with physicians from Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital, and are taught by running-coach-certified instructors. Mitchell says the club aims to transform the sometimes-monotonous nature of treadmill running. “We’ve married together the science-based functional stuff with what’s cool in group fitness and music, so the work is a bit disguised and the time flies by,” she says. TreadHAPPY is set to open a second location in Richmond’s Fan District this month.
MADabolic and M3 Core Training Though Dar Malecki had been involved in fitness training her whole life, including bodybuilding, power lifting and owning CrossFit gyms, it wasn’t until she took her first MADabolic class in Charlotte, North Carolina, that she felt like she understood
the future of fitness. “I walked out of that class and said, ‘This is how women and men should be training,’ and it’s become my passion.” She and business partner Morini opened MADabolic in Charlottesville in 2013, followed by M3 Core Training in 2015, and the two owners stress the benefits of low-impact training. “We need a strong foundation of muscle as we age,” says Malecki. “So I believe in a weighted, strength-based program using controlled movements, combined with lowimpact cardio training.” In a MADabolic class, that might look like a series of intervals—lunging with hand weights, hoisting a sledge hammer, indoor rowing or biking and pounding a heavy bag. “It’s never outof-control or competitive, and there’s a work-to-rest ratio that burns fat and increases metabolism without putting extra strain on the body.” Morini, a former UVA rower who has also taught cycling and barre, say boutique fitness is “about efficiency. People don’t have time to get lost in the social vortex of bigbox gyms or to wait in line for 45 minutes to get on the treadmill. Here, there are welltrained instructors with carefully organized workouts who know you.” M3 Core Training offers classes in barre, water rowing and boxing, and features the area’s only Megaformer studio. The Megaformer machine uses a sliding, spring-resistance platform to allow targeted, low-impact exercises that give the user a cardio, strength and balance workout all in one. “It’s for all ages and all levels, from absolute beginner to professional athlete,” says Morini. “My favorite classes are when my 70-year-old dad and his friends are here alongside younger students. They inspire each other.”

F
or a town its size, Charlottesville is bursting with fitness club choices. “We really have a big city-level of unique offerings here,” says Claire Mitchell, co-founder and owner of treadHAPPY, a treadmill-based fitness studio located off West Main Street. In contrast to “big-box” clubs like ACAC or the YMCA, boutique, or niche gyms, like treadHAPPY are small enterprises that offer highly structured, carefully curated classes for patrons seeking more efficiency and a personal touch. The boutique trend took off about 10 years ago as small clubs began offering specialized workouts such as indoor cycling or CrossFit training, taught in classes structured around short intervals of high-intensity activity. “The emphasis now is on the fitness exercise science of workouts instead of sheer quantity,” says Valerie Morini of M3 Core Training, “to help people become stronger without injury.” Boutique gym memberships are often more expensive than regular health clubs, and by design lack larger amenities such as pools or courts. “What you gain is a sense of community, accountability for your goals and results that make you feel good,” says Dar Malecki of MADabolic. In Charlottesville, wedging their way between more familiar options such as yoga, barre and boxing are several innovative standalone or franchise options that offer something for every taste.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
By Rob Brezsny
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like to shed unwieldy baggage before moving on to your next big challenge? I hope so. It will purge your soul of karmic sludge. It will prime you for a fresh start. One way to accomplish this bravery is to confess your sins and ask for forgiveness in front of a mirror. Here are data to consider. Is there anyone you know who would not give you a good character reference? Have you ever committed a seriously unethical act? Have you revealed information that was told to you in confidence? While under the influence of intoxicants or bad ideas, have you done things you’re ashamed of? I’m not saying you’re more guilty of these things than the rest of us; it’s just that now is your special time to seek redemption.
Aries (March 21-April 19): In all of history, humans have mined about 182,000 tons of gold. Best estimates suggest there are still 35 billion tons of gold buried in the earth, but the remaining riches will be more difficult to find and collect than what we’ve already gotten. We need better technology. If I had to say who would be the entrepreneurs and inventors best qualified to lead the quest, my choice would be members of the Aries tribe. For the foreseeable future, you people will have extra skill at excavating hidden treasure and gathering resources that are hard to access.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Stories have the power to either dampen or mobilize your life energy. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will make heroic efforts to seek out the latter and avoid the former. Now is a crucial time to treat yourself to stories that will jolt you out of your habitual responses and inspire you to take long-postponed actions and awaken the sleeping parts of your soul. And that’s just half of your assignment, dear Taurus. Here’s the rest: Tell stories that help you remember the totality of who you are, and that inspire your listeners to remember the totality of who they are.
(May 21-June 20): Author Anaïs Nin said, “There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: The kisses alone don’t work.” For two reasons, Anaïs’ formulation is especially apropos for you right now. First, you
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was in my early 20s, I smoked marijuana now and then. I liked it. It made me feel good and inspired my creativity and roused spiritual visions. But I reconsidered my use after encountering pagan magician Isaac Bonewits. He didn’t have a moral objection to cannabis use, but believed it withered one’s willpower and diminished one’s determination to transform one’s life for the better. For a year, I meditated on and experimented with his hypothesis. I found it to be true, at least for me. I haven’t smoked since. My purpose in bringing this up is not to advise you about your relationship to drugs, but rather to urge you to question whether there are influences in your life that wither your willpower and diminish your determination to transform your life for the better. Now is an excellent time to examine this issue. should not allow yourself to be seduced, tempted or won over by sweet gestures alone. You must insist on sweet gestures that are synergized by a sense of wonder and an appreciation of your unique beauty. Second, you should adopt the same approach for those you want to seduce, tempt or win over: sweet gestures seasoned with wonder and an appreciation of their unique beauty.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Are you more inclined right now to favor temporary involvements and short-term promises? Or would you consider making brave commitments that lead you deeper into the Great Mystery? Given the upcoming astrological omens, I vote for the latter. Here’s another pair of questions for you, Cancerian: Are you inclined to meander from commotion to commotion without any game plan? Or might you invoke the magic necessary to get involved with high-quality collaborations? I’m hoping you’ll opt for the latter. (P.S. The near future will be prime time for you to swear a sacred oath or two.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In March 1996, a man burst into the studio of radio station Star FM in Wanganui, New Zealand. He took the manager hostage and issued a single demand: that the DJ play a recording of the Muppet song “The Rainbow Connection,” as sung by the puppet Kermit the Frog. Fortunately, police intervened quickly, no one was hurt, and the kidnapper was jailed. In bringing this to your attention, Leo, I am certainly not suggesting that you imitate the kidnapper. Please don’t break the law or threaten anyone with harm. On the other hand, I do urge you to take dramatic, innovative action to fulfill one of your very specific desires.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many varieties of the nettle plant will sting you if you touch the leaves and stems. Their hairs are like hypodermic needles that inject your skin with a blend of irritant chemicals. And yet nettle is also an herb with numerous medicinal properties. It can provide relief for allergies, arthritis, joint pain and urinary problems. That’s why Shakespeare invoked the nettle as a metaphor in his play Henry IV, Part 1: “Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety,” says the character named Hotspur. In accordance with the astrological omens, Virgo, I choose the nettle as your power metaphor for the first three weeks of February.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Knullrufs is a Swedish word that refers to what your hair looks like after sex: tousled, rumpled, disordered. If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, you should experience more knullrufs than usual in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you need and deserve extra pleasure and delight, especially the kind that rearranges your attitudes as well as your coiffure. You have license to exceed your normal quotas of ravenousness and rowdiness.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his “Crazy Lake Experiment” documented on YouTube, Harvard physicist Greg Kestin takes a raft out on a lake. He drops a tablespoon of olive oil into the water, and a few minutes later, the halfacre around his boat is still and smooth. All the small waves have disappeared. He proceeds to explain the science behind the calming effect produced by a tiny amount of oil. I suspect that you will have a metaphorical-
ly comparable power in the next two weeks, Scorpio. What’s your version of the olive oil? Your poise? Your graciousness? Your tolerance? Your insight into human nature?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1989, a man spent $4 on a painting at a flea market in Adamstown, Pennsylvania. He didn’t care much for the actual image, which was a boring country scene, but he thought he could use the frame. Upon returning home, he found a document concealed behind the painting. It turned out to be a rare old copy of America’s Declaration of Independence, originally created in 1776. He eventually sold it for $2.42 million. I doubt that you will experience anything quite as spectacular in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But I do suspect you will find something valuable where you don’t expect it, or develop a connection with something that’s better than you imagined it would be.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the 1740s, a teenage Capricorn girl named Eliza Lucas almost single-handedly introduced a new crop into American agriculture: indigo, a plant used as a dye for textiles. In South Carolina, where she managed her father’s farm, indigo ultimately became the second-most-important cash crop over the next 30 years. I have astrological reasons to believe that you are now in a phase when you could likewise make innovations that will have long-range economic repercussions. Be alert for good intuitions and promising opportunities to increase your wealth. Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: RealAstrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.

Q&A How do you work out? Several years ago, during my annual physical, my GP asked me this question. I responded that I worked in catering. He said, “Yes, but do you work out?” I said, “Have you ever catered? First you build the restaurant, then you walk, lift, walk, lift, walk, etc. during the event. Then you tear it all down at the end, and some shifts are 12 hours plus. Some people have gym memberships. I get paid to work out.”
