Down and out Several dozen people gathered at the Charlottesville Circuit Courthouse on Tuesday, February 27, to demand the statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson remain covered in two downtown parks. Judge Richard Moore was expected to rule Tuesday on the removal of the tarps, which were placed over the Confederate monuments after the August 12 Unite the Right rally, which killed three people and injured dozens more. City Council voted August 21 to cover the statues with black “shrouds” as a way for Charlottesville to mourn the deaths of Heather Heyer and Virginia State Police Lieutenant Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates. For the latest on the judge’s decision, go to c-ville.com.

Medicaid expansion clears House For Terry McAuliffe’s entire term as governor, Medicaid expansion for 400,000 uninsured Virginians remained out of grasp. Last week, after Republican Delegate Terry Kilgore broke rank in favor of expansion, the House voted 68 to 32 in favor, with local delegates Rob Bell, Steve Landes and Matt Fariss in the no column. The measure still has to clear the Senate, which did not approve expansion in its budget.
Pro-Palestinian, megaphone-carrying protesters disrupted a Brody Jewish Center and Hoos for Israel event February 22 and may have violated UVA policies, says Dean of Students Allen Groves. The demonstrators were invited to join the Building Bridges panel, but chose to shout at participants instead, the Cav Daily reports.
Charlottesville High is among the city schools that are patrolled throughout the day by three armed resource officers and several community service members.
Park déjà vu City Council will look at renaming Emancipation and Justice parks—again—after Mary Carey objected to the name Emancipation and collected approximately 500 signatures on a petition.
STEVEN MEEKS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING The controversial president of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society abruptly resigned February 11 after cleaning out his office in the city-owned McIntire Building. In a “hastily written note,” says Will Lyster, a historical society director, Steven G. Meeks resigned from the organization he’s headed for about a decade. The board asked Lyster to step in as interim president February 14.
“We realized that in the past couple of months, Steven had done nothing,” says Lyster, including the “10 easy things the city wanted done to renew the lease.” And Meeks’ departure comes at a time when the city is reconsidering its lease for the historical society, whose membership has dropped by half during his tenure. Meeks drew scrutiny last summer when the historical
society stalled a UVA professor’s access to its collection of Ku Klux Klan robes. At a September City Council meeting, Councilor Kathy Galvin called the nonprofit “an absolute mess.” “We have a lot of housekeeping,” says Lyster, who is working on the city’s demands, including a more diverse board and inventory of the society’s assets. Meeks did not return phone calls from C-VILLE.

the school’s main office. A crisis plan for each school, which is not available to the public, is reviewed and updated annually. This spring, city schools will install new locks on classroom doors to ensure they all lock from the inside, something that’s already been implemented at all county schools. Phil Giaramita, a spokesperson for Albemarle County Public Schools, adds that all school entrances are numbered, so first responders know exactly where to enter in the event of an emergency. Classroom door windows in county schools have also been coated with a protective material that’s harder to break. About 14 Monticello High students walked out of their lunch period for 15 minutes on February 21 to protest gun violence, according to Giaramita. Both county and city schools are discussing preparations for upcoming national walkout events and marches, including the National School Walkout on March 14.

Tar Heel transplant Jeff Richardson jumps into county exec role By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

W
hen Jeff Richardson got a call and an invitation to apply for the open county executive position in Albemarle County, the Tar Heel state transplant says his only tie to the area was a three-week leadership program at the University of Virginia about 15 years ago. “Those training opportunities had a profound impact on my career,” Richardson says, and he remembered the area as beautiful and interesting. “My wife and I discussed the opportunity and felt that a community that placed such an emphasis on lifelong learning, along with being a wonderful outdoor recreation community, would be a great opportunity for us.” In November, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors appointed Richardson to succeed Tom Foley and interim county exec Doug Walker. Richardson moved here from Black Mountain, North Carolina, and has worked in local government for more than half his life. He graduated with a master’s degree in public administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1990, and most recently served as county manager for Cleveland County since 2013. The county executive establishes a longterm vision for Albemarle and ensures ef-

So after Richardson was offered the job, he and his wife packed up, moved to Albemarle and did what the locals do—they went to Bodo’s Bagels. In fact, he’s now a regular at the Preston Avenue location, situated conveniently behind the Albemarle County Office Building on McIntire Road. “Many of the staff and I have worn a path out walking back and forth,” he says, offering his go-to order. “Everything bagel with egg, bacon and cheese. Also, they have a great Caesar salad that I like with turkey.” Richardson was introduced to local government by his father, who served as a town manager for more than 20 years.

Punitive damages Huguely must reveal trust funds to estate of Yeardley Love By Lisa Provence
County exec Jeff Richardson has barely been here three months and already he has cranked out his first budget. EZE AMOS
@cvillenews_desk George Huguely is being sued by Sharon Love for wrongful death in Virginia, even though she said her daughter’s death was an accident and unintentional in a Maryland civil suit.
Another civil suit heard in Charlottesville Circuit Court in 2001 and the possible trust fund of one of four UVA fraternity brothers who brutally beat a student set a precedent that Judge Richard Moore considered in making his decision.
facebook.com/cville.weekly
“The idea of serving others, earning and maintaining the public’s trust and building community is very rewarding,” he says. Richardson reports directly to the Board of Supervisors, and he presented his budget for fiscal year 2019 to them this month (see page 10). Nearly constant email notifications ping out of the computer speakers in his office, where a framed Asheville Tourists jersey hangs on the wall and a baseball rests on a shelf. He estimates that he gets about 100 messages a day, and works about 55 hours a week. “For as rewarding as local government is, it also can be relentless,” he says. “I jumped in to day-to-day operations in an attempt to learn and involve myself as quickly as possible.” Richardson makes time for family, exercise, watching Ted Talks and teaching at UNC’s School of Government and in the master’s of public administration program. The father of three describes his family as active, athletic and extremely competitive. “We run, hike, bike, golf, tennis,” he says. “You name it, we are in.” Teaching, he says, “is the best way I know to force yourself to stay current, continue to learn and grow and push yourself to help others.” He adds, “I also mess around with the harmonica and love to play—just not in public. Ask my wife and she’ll tell you that she fully supports that.”
N
early eight years after a UVA fourth-year died at the hands of her on-again off-again boyfriend a couple of weeks before graduation in 2010, lawyers representing the family of Yeardley Love were back in court February 22, and a judge granted their motion to compel George Huguely to reveal any trust funds to which he’s a beneficiary. Jeffrey Stedman, who represents the Love family in its $30 million wrongful death lawsuit, said a jury would be less likely to award $350,000 in punitive damages, the maximum Virginia allows, if it would bankrupt Huguely, who was convicted of seconddegree murder, sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2012 and has had “no real job” during that time. “Future income is not relevant unless it can be known with reasonable certainty,” said Stedman. “We may find ourselves following Mr. Huguely around for 40 years,” he said. “His future income is relevant.” Huguely comes from a prominent Washington, D.C., area family. His attorney, Matthew Green, argued that under Virginia law, a trust is never a current asset because the beneficiary doesn’t control it, unlike cash or a readily convertible asset. “What guaranteed income he’s going to receive in the next 12 months is a current asset,” said Green. Another civil suit heard in Charlottesville Circuit Court in 2001 and the possible trust fund of one of four UVA fraternity brothers who brutally beat a student set a precedent that Judge Richard Moore considered in making his decision. In that case, Richard W. Smith, the son of FedEx founder Fred Smith, was convicted along with Harrison Kerr Tigrett, the brother of the founder of the Hard Rock Cafe, Bradley Kintz and Wesley McCluney for the assault that broke the jaw of first-year Alexander Kory in November 1997, after Kory allegedly called Smith “fat ass.” A jury awarded Kory $500,000 in damages. Smith, who sued UVA for suspending him for two years, was required to pay $200,000 in punitive damages, and his codefendants each paid $60,000. “The court did find the future income of one of four defendants was relevant and the jury could base punitive damages on that,” said Stedman. Moore agreed with the decision of Judge Paul Peatross in the Kory case, and he took further issue with Huguely instructing his lawyer to provide no information to Love’s attorneys about trust funds.
NICK STROCCHIA
“For as rewarding as local government is, it also can be relentless.”
“was so intoxicated he had some kind of blackout and didn’t know what he was doing.” He said it was up to a jury to determine whether Huguely’s actions were negligent or intentional. In March 2017, a federal judge ruled Chartis did not have to pay on the policy, but that State Farm, which had a different definition of intent, would have to pay on a $300,000 policy. Moore said he would announce his decision this week. A three-week jury trial is scheduled to begin July 30, and Love has filed a motion to continue the trial again. Moore will hear that argument March 1 in Fluvanna, where he’ll be presiding that day. After the hearing, Green said Huguely is not the same individual who appeared in that court for trial in 2012. “He’s not had a drop of alcohol since the night [Yeardley’s death] happened.” He’s handling intramural leagues at Augusta Correctional Center, where he’s incarcerated, and he is also finishing his college degree, said the attorney. Huguely’s mother, Marta Murphy, said it was time to resolve the case. “It’s been a long time,” she said. “I’m hoping it’ll be resolved soon. It’s time.

“There is an obligation to respond,” Moore told Green. “As an officer of the court, you don’t let the client determine that. You tell him he’s got to respond.” Green has until May 15 to provide information about Huguely’s trusts, which will not be made public. The lawyers also argued Huguely’s motion that the Loves must use the same facts they filed in a Maryland insurance suit— that Yeardley’s death was accidental and unintentional. In that case, Chartis Property Casualty Company balked at paying a $6 million policy that Huguely’s mother and stepfather have because the policy excludes intentional criminal acts. Sharon Love, Yeardley’s mother, filed a brief in the federal case that said Huguely went over to Yeardley’s apartment where they had an “emotional conversation” over their breakup, that Yeardley at one point banged her own head against her bedroom wall and that she was alive when Huguely left the apartment. The Love family also hired Dr. Neil Blumberg, a forensic psychiatrist, who said Huguely had a .37 blood alcohol level and “was not aware of his actions,” said Green. Stedman said the Love family “hasn’t endorsed” Blumberg’s opinion that Huguely

In Pickett’s trial, prosecutor Nina-Alice Antony showed a photo of a red mark on Harrison’s left cheek.

es is a jackass” became a familiar slogan to those living in Charlottesville last summer because it was scrawled on a giant sign carried by local retiree Mason Pickett, while “Bellamy is a jackass” was often chalked on the Downtown Mall’s Freedom of Speech Wall and several sidewalks. It’s a phrase that took a shot at City Councilor Wes Bellamy, who was vice-mayor at the time and called for the removal of the monuments of Confederate war heroes Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson from their eponymous downtown parks. The derogatory verbiage left Pickett scorned by many, and at the center of two misdemeanor assault charges. Judge Joseph Sirks heard testimony from alleged victims Davyd Williams and Lara Harrison in Charlottesville Circuit Court on February 23. Williams said he was erasing the nowinfamous catch phrase off the free speech wall on August 24 when Pickett approached him. After a short exchange, the retiree allegedly “shoulder-checked” Williams, smacked his hand twice and snatched the bottle of Windex he was using to clean the chalk wall out of his hand “hard enough that the handle broke,” according to testimony. Police spotted the interaction and intervened. Pickett then allegedly walked a few hundred feet to a CVS, bought a bottle of liquid cleaner and gave it to an officer to give to Williams. He said that he made a mistake and was sorry. Judge Sirks said justice would not be furthered by finding Pickett guilty. Pickett’s second assault charge came on September 11, when he was holding a blackpainted cardboard sign, with the afore-
mentioned catchphrase written on it in thick red letters, in front of the Albemarle County Office Building on the corner of McIntire Road and Preston Avenue. Harrison said she was driving past when she saw Pickett and his sign. “I wanted to be able to counter his sign with a sign that I thought was accurate and protective of our community,” she gave as the reason she parked her car, wrote “racist” on a legal pad and stood on the sidewalk in front of Pickett. He called police and testified that he and Harrison were beside each other on the sidewalk. She allegedly stepped onto the street to get in front of him, and as he was moving his sign from side to side to face oncoming traffic, Pickett says he may or may not have hit her in the face with it. “He assaulted me,” said Harrison, who was photographed on August 15 in Eman-

‘The legacy of slavery isn’t bound by time’
Montpelier’s latest exhibit could serve as a national model for telling the complete history of slavery By Jessica Luck
EZE AMOS
A
mateur archaeologists had been kneeling in the dirt of the South Yard at James Madison’s Montpelier for hours, painstakingly searching for intact artifacts that could be used in exhibits detailing the lives of the enslaved community that was forced to live and toil there. Among them was Leontyne Peck, who was participating in her first weeklong excavation. Peck thought the experience would enrich her life, but she didn’t expect it to be so personal. As she carefully dug through the brown soil to unearth connections to the people who had been there before, she discovered a connection to her past—a hand-carved pipe covered in Masonic symbols. Peck has vivid memories of her paternal grandfather, Willie Clay, who grew up in Madison County, Virginia, and who had also been a Mason, smoking a pipe filled with cherry tobacco. “When I touched the pipe, it was like I was touching my grandfather,” she says. “I actually felt connected with him.” Peck says she understands why descendants of the enslaved people often don’t feel comfortable visiting sites where slavery was the

crystal says] ‘you can work me, you’re getting my labor to get what you need but you can’t take my spirit, you can’t take my soul. When I have this quiet moment with my spiritual force you can never take that from me.’” Peck says it’s become somewhat of a joke that she always finds something when she participates in a dig—but it doesn’t surprise her. “There are certain people walking the earth, and I count myself among them, that the ancestors have said, ‘Tell our story and tell our full story because we weren’t born to work for people day in and day out. Our humanity was taken and it needs to be restored.’ …Every time I go on a dig it’s a spiritual journey for me because I feel as though I’m helping to recover and touch the humanity of the enslaved men and women and children who were there.” The staff at Montpelier has focused on that holistic narrative with their newest exhibit, “The Mere Distinction of Colour,” which debuted in June. The exhibit was made possible by a $10 million gift in 2014 from philanthropist David Rubenstein, and in 2015 museum staff began

oppressive foundation upon which the landowner’s prosperity was possible (places like Montpelier, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and James Monroe’s Highland). But for Peck, “I feel like I’m home,” she says. Peck has even earned the nickname “Universal Cousin” from her time spent on digs at Montpelier. The first thing she asks someone when she meets him is, “What is your surname?” From one name, Peck, originally from West Virginia, can trace their shared heritage, her own lineage born from the Clays of Madison County and Orange (her maiden name was Clay), to the enslaved communities at both Montpelier and Monticello. Since her first dig three years ago, Peck has uncovered a meaningful object each time. Once it was a marble (which she plucked out of the ground after only 10 minutes), and another time a pink crystal, not dissimilar to the one Peck has in her own home, to bring good luck, as part of the African spiritual tradition. “Finding the crystal was another sign to say, ‘We were here, we brought our traditions with us,’ and they passed the traditions on,” Peck says. “[The

meeting with members of the Montpelier enslaved descendant community as well as scholars and museum colleagues who concentrate on African-American history. The main goals that emerged from those workshops were two things that are rarely seen at historical sites: Connect the history of slavery with the present, and illuminate the humanity and stories of the enslaved community. “If you’re African-American, the legacy of slavery is something you live with every day and your families think that way,” says Giles Morris, Montpelier’s vice president for marketing and communications. “If you’re white, you never think that way; you think it’s a historical thing that happened.”
“...that is the essence of what the exhibit is trying to teach people, about the humanity of the people who were there.” LEONTYNE PECK

Divided into two former cellar spaces underneath the main house and continuing into the adjacent South Yard (where dozens of members of the enslaved community lived and worked), the exhibit shines a spotlight on the present-day effects of slavery and racism in its Legacies of Slavery video, the economics of slavery, ways in which protections for slavery were written into the Constitution by its author—Madison—and the fate of the enslaved community at Montpelier, with the stories told by their descendants. The title of the exhibit centers around a quote from Madison during the Constitutional Convention on June 6, 1787, which is displayed on a pillar at the beginning of the exhibit: “We have seen the mere distinction of colour made in the most enlightened period of time, a ground of the most oppressive dominion ever exercised by man over man.” In contrast, the adjacent economics of slavery part of the exhibit shows that wealth of the domestic slave trade, including in Virginia, was built on the sale of humans—considered property by their owners—to cotton mill owners in the South. Another interactive exhibit reveals that all states allowed slavery in 1787 at the end of the American Revolution. The next room walks visitors through debates on slavery during Madison’s time, while another room shows an elevated written Constitution with six sections outlined in red. Each highlighted passage corresponds to a panel in the room that illuminates how that language perpetuated slavery without stating so outright. “People are interested in James Madison for his role in creating the Constitution, which is our rights, our way of understanding our rights,” Morris says. “…he both personally denied freedom to the enslaved people who lived and worked here but also publicly he compromised over slavery and saw the compromises through—and he had very complex and nuanced and interesting writing about all of that. Instead of it being compartmentalized, having the hero story over here and slavery over here, how do you tell one story about how America got created?” One hurdle for Montpelier was the lack of documentation surrounding plantation life. Madison’s wife, Dolley, and her son, Payne

Todd, then the property’s administrator, sold the property in 1846 to cover debt (many documents vanished with the sale), and Madison’s formal books, which had been transferred to UVA’s Rotunda after his death in 1836, burned in the 1895 fire. And Montpelier staff has been building its history with only eight known last names of members of its enslaved community. Because Montpelier is relatively new in relation to other presidential homes (the Montpelier Foundation was established in 2000 and the Madison house only opened to the public in 2009), and because of the flexibility that comes with less historical documentation, the staff has expanded the definition of its enslaved community to anyone who has connections to the western Orange County area and wants to share their oral history and genealogy. Their contributions are seen most in the second part of the exhibit focused on the lives of the enslaved.
James Monroe’s Highland recently announced its partnership with ARtGlass to become the first historic site in the United States to offer augmented reality tours using smart glasses designed by Epson. In the planning process for more than a year, the tour includes 11 stops for the viewer in which he is guided to specific points around the property at which images, videos, 3-D reconstructions and conversations between animated characters appear through the glasses, projected onto the Highland landscape. The experience provides the visitor with a more immersive experience, and delivers content in a new way, says Sara Bon-Harper, Highland’s executive director. “[The tour content is about] diversity of perspective, the connection with the larger threads of U.S. history and trying to engage the audience in a way that they couldn’t otherwise,” Bon-Harper says. The AR tours are in a beta testing phase right now, and staff is making changes and updating content based on feedback from visitors.

VIRTUAL REALITY
James Monroe’s Highland is in the beta testing phase of its augmented reality tours on the property’s grounds.
One question that arose during the creation of the exhibit: How do you depict slavery in a non-photographic era? With a primary goal from the descendant community being to illuminate the humanity of their ancestors, staff wanted to be careful not to misappropriate any images. They used photos of enslaved people from the Library of Congress and created a shadow effect around the photo. They then overlaid on top words that could have identified who this person was. The contemporary look of the panels and the space as a whole was intentional, Morris says. By placing visitors in a context they are familiar with, they are more likely to relate to the members of the enslaved community. On one of the panels, a woman bending over to work in a field is defined as: “I was a mother. I was broken. I was tired. I was a singer. I was a worshiper. I was angry.” But each panel ends with the same line: “I was property.” “People can’t identify with working 14 hours of back-breaking labor every day, can’t identify with the emotional realities [of slavery],” Morris says. “A lot of the story will never be told and can’t ever be told, and we have to acknowledge it. It has to be in the conversation.” The next room unpacks further the thought of enslaved people as property, with images of actual ledgers from the household projected onto the wall. The notes, written in loopy scrawl, show meticulous records of everything bought and sold. In one letter, Payne Todd asks for a suit of clothes, and Dolley Madison responds that she’s planning on selling certain people and then he’ll have enough money for his clothes. A video playing in the next room, Fate in the Balance, illustrates this idea in perhaps the most tangible way. During research for the exhibit, the team at Montpelier discovered the story of the Stewart family, and through oral histories, letters and newspapers were able to trace the stories of Ellen Stewart, her mother, Sukey (Dolley Madison’s ladies maid), and other members of the family. Filmed by Northern Light Productions, the movie was shot in Boston with actors behind a screen. The end result looks like a moving chalk drawing—living history that’s fluid. The film focuses on the fate of the Stewart family after Madison’s death. His will transferred ownership of the enslaved people (300 total in his lifetime) to his wife, but stated no one should be sold without his or her consent. The film watches as members of the Stewart family are sold to pay debts: first Ellen’s brother, Ben, then her sister, Becca, and finally her mother, Sukey. It details how Paul Jennings, who had been Madison’s servant in the White House, eventually earned his freedom and attempted to help 77 enslaved people, including Ellen, escape. When Peck first saw the video, which she calls “the most powerful part of the exhibit,” she couldn’t watch it all the way through. When the image of Becca holding her baby, whom she had to leave behind at Montpelier, was shown, Peck was so overwhelmed she had to leave the room. She eventually returned and cried through the rest of the film, because “that is the essence of what the exhibit is trying to teach people, about the humanity of the people who were there.” Margaret Jordan, a board member at Montpelier who lives in Dallas, is a descendant of Jennings and says she feels lucky that
“I feel like I’m on hallowed ground when I’m at Montpelier because I know there were hundreds of people who lived there and we know the names of some proportion of them but not all of them, and you feel them looking down saying, ‘Continue to make us be real to people: We lived here, we worked here, we were a part of this, and we suffered here. It’s really important that it be understood that we existed.’”

her family knows not only the history of how they are related to Jennings, but who he was as a person. For the exhibit, Jordan was filmed for one of the multimedia stations in which descendants and historians discuss topics around slavery. She says the interview caused her to reflect on something she hadn’t put into words: what slavery means to her. “The world has had slaves for many centuries, but they’ve never had chattel slavery like America has where it was such a dehumanization, a deliberate institutional strategy and attempt to dehumanize an individual and make them into a piece of nothing, something to be bought and sold and take away someone’s complete dignity and not use their last names,” she says. “When I really stopped and dealt with that it’s more than sobering.” Jordan read the convocation at the opening of the exhibit last June and has spoken at several events at Montpelier throughout the years. She says the first time she visited the exhibit she couldn’t make it through the entire thing because it’s so emotionally draining, but she calls the exhibit “important” and says she always reads something new each time.
In mid-February, Montpelier staff, in conjunction with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, organized a national summit on teaching slavery. The goal? Create a universal rubric that could be used in schools and at historic institutions. Fifty scholars, museum interpreters from around the country (including representatives of Monticello and Highland) and descendants of the enslaved community convened for a weekend-long series of workshops and discussions, all aimed at creating the framework for teaching the history of slavery that could become a national model. The goal is to roll out out the rubric in June. “We had a shared version that historic sites could play a leading role, not just a role, in how the nation comes to understand American slavery,” says Hasan Kwame Jeffries, associate professor of history at Ohio State University. Jeffries can be heard speaking in the Legacies of Slavery video about the “Disney version” of history he often sees his students bring into the classroom, and myths associated with that. He was conflicted when Montpelier first asked him to contribute to the exhibit in late 2016. His historian side wanted to jump at the chance to be involved, but he says the African-American in him made him hesitate. He wasn’t sure he wanted to be affiliated with an institution that had fostered slavery. But Jeffries says from his first weekend on the property, when he saw the majority of work that had been done on the exhibit, it was clear that they “got it.” “Slavery is bound by time but its legacy isn’t,” he says. “Slavery was an economic system that at its core was designed to extract labor at its cheapest possible cost, and once slavery ends the same impulse that drove slavery continues forward, justified by this belief in white supremacy so that everything that we see afterward in terms of race relations, the African-American condition to the development of America is tied to these implications of what slavery was. The things we see today are informed very much so by what happened in the past.” Jeffries studied history, and specifically African-American history, as a way to explain what he saw growing up in Brooklyn. Riding the subway in a big city was an easy way to see that segregation still existed, and Jeffries was dissatisfied with the explanations he learned in school. And he says lack of education of American history is a growing issue, with an increasing emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. He points to a study released in January from the Southern Poverty Law Center, “Teaching the Hard History of American Slavery,” for which he served as chairman of the advisory committee. It surveyed
The Legacy of Slavery video features four different perspectives on how slavery and the legacy of slavery are connected to present-day events such as police officers shooting black men and white supremacist rallies. The Economics of Slavery portion of the exhibit includes an interactive station that shows how much of Virginia’s wealth was built on the domestic slave trade. The original idea was to have the Constitution on the floor of the exhibit, but the end result is an elevated Constitution (bottom left) with highlighted passages containing language that perpetuated slavery without stating so outright.
Peck, who also attended the summit, has a term for what she believes should be a straightforward discussion of our American history, including its contentious past: “straight, no chaser.” She says slavery is a collective open, gaping wound for all people, the medicine for which is changing education curriculums from kindergarten to post-secondary institutions, as well as having people continue to educate their families. While in West Virginia, she led a Saturday morning group for white and black children called Club Noir in which they discussed African-American history and culture and took field trips. “The important thing is that it’s consistent and not just during Black History Month,” Peck says. “Slavery is an extremely heavy topic but it has to be discussed.”
Kat Imhoff came on board as president and CEO of Montpelier five and a half years ago with the vision of telling a more complete American story. She says the local events of August 12 “stiffened her backbone” in providing a 360-degree view of our past. “I believe that we are constantly rediscovering ourselves and our history,” says Imhoff. “When people treat history as something dull and boring I think you have no idea it’s actually incredibly radical. When you are willing to look under the covers and look at the complexity, and I for one believe Americans can deal with complex stories, it makes our founding very rich, but it also has reverberations about what we do and [how we] think and act today. And for us, that’s what’s so important: We want to link the past and present in order
to inform our actions today and make the world a better place.” Next year marks the 400th anniversary of the first documented slaves from Africa arriving in America at Point Comfort, Virginia. Peck hopes to be there to honor her ancestors, to honor the place where their feet first touched American soil. “When you’re sitting around face to face you understand we want the same thing: You want your child to be happy, I want my child to be happy,” Peck says. “People want safety, family preservation, want to have fun, good careers. Then, when we dissect how come certain people have privileges and others don’t, that’s what we have to look at as a society. Make it a society that’s fair to all citizens, everyone.”

high school seniors and social studies teachers, and analyzed state content standards and 10 popular history textbooks. The results? Only 8 percent of high school seniors could identify slavery as the central cause of the Civil War; just 44 percent correctly answered that slavery was legal in every colony during the American Revolution. Going forward, Jeffries says it is even more important for historic sites to give detailed and complete history lessons. “Part of the challenge for places like Montpelier is not only to tell an accurate story but also to educate—re-educate people because they aren’t coming in as blank slates,” Jeffries says. “They’re coming with a version of slavery and the role of enslaved people in that story that’s very often just wrong.”

The group crosses musical borderlines on instruments from around the world, including fiddle, accordion, guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer and harmonica. As its name suggests, the band goes beyond the boundaries of what seems to be acceptable, bringing the beauty of timeless tradition into the here and now. $15-17, 7pm. C’ville Coffee, 1301 Harris St. 817-2633.

Kyle Craft Full Circle Nightmare (Sub Pop) Portland’s Kyle Craft is about to rock, and you may salute him. Craft writes perfect nü-classic rock songs with pounding piano, pealing slide guitar, and sucking-in-the-’70s horn charts—all present on “Exile Rag,” naturally. And a ubiquitous musical element that also happens to describe Craft’s constant state of hot bother is: swelling organs. (From the Portland love shanty “Bridge City Rose”: “Now I don’t wanna cause you grief / I don’t wanna take the lead / Little girl all I wanna see is you getting off.” Oh, Kyle.) There’s something unripe about Craft’s voice, like he’s a 12-year-old in pajamas belting it out for his hot babysitter. But nearly every song on Full Circle Nightmare would sound better on rock radio than any song currently on rock radio, and Craft will likely give Dr. Dog a run for the money when they plays the Jefferson on April 20.
Lucy Dacus Historian (Matador) “The first time I tasted somebody’s spit / I had a coughing fit.” This 22-year-old Richmonder attracted a bidding war with her
debut album No Burdens, and though she signed with an indie stalwart, the scrutiny surrounding her follow-up is distinctly major. But the opening line of Historian seems designed to announce that Lucy Dacus won’t be hiding behind platitudes, whether they be warm and fuzzy or cold and prickly. In a languid, velvety voice that bobs like a balloon in thick air, Dacus tells of friendships frayed and loves mislaid with disarming frankness and old-soul wisdom. The band brings a cinematic sweep that can get stormy, and would overwhelm a weaker singer, but no worries with Dacus, who brings her wry and tender strength to the Southern on March 7.
Salad Boys This Is Glue (Trouble In Mind) Rock-solid grooves, fuzzy guitars, adorable accents, utterly simple melodies—Salad Boys are straight outta Christchurch, melting down practically everything that’s been great about New Zealand indie rock for the last 30 years. They make songwriting seem insanely easy, and then, too easy, as the songs stretch themselves a bit thin over the scaffolds of a few (undeniably appealing) chords. The Ramones would have taken “In Heaven” at twice the speed and it would
have been a great Ramones song; here, it’s fine. There are also better-than-fine moments, like “Under the Bed,” which begins like a girl group deep cut and turns into animated Yo La Tengo. R.E.M. is also in the air, as on “Right Time,” and the acoustic, Fables-y “Dogged Out.” While Salad Boys haven’t added anything to various formulae, This Is Glue binds and bonds some excellent influences.
Marlon Williams Make Way For Love (Dead Oceans) The first moments of “Come to Me” set the tone for all that follows on Make Way For Love—songs plenty good, production all in place and holy smokes, that voice! Smoky indeed, like Chris Isaak, Stuart Staples of Tindersticks and unmistakably, especially on “What’s Chasing You,” Roy Orbison. New Zealand’s Marlon Williams has ditched the country affectations from his early recordings (credible and creditable as they were) and has gone full torch-song, with spellbinding results. Barely through his Saturn year, Williams has a seasoned vet’s command of airspace, and if his last tour of the States is any indication, he and his band could burn down D.C.’s Rock & Roll Hotel on March 23.—Nick Rubin

J
ay “Jaewar” King listened to a lot of reggae while growing up in Virginia Beach. His Jamaican-born father always had the stereo on, with good vibes floating through the speakers and into the home. But it was hip-hop that took hold of him. Captivated by the imagery of the lyrics and by artists like LL Cool J who were “cool and powerful” and socially conscious all at once, a young Jaewar started filling books with lyrics of his own. So it’s no surprise that this soft-spoken industrial engineer who fronts local hiphop/reggae/rock/go-go band Vibe Riot has a certain hope for what his music might accomplish: “If I could have my wish...I would be the Bob Marley of hip-hop...have this music be a force that has political influence and be able to [use that] for good,” says Jaewar with a hint of shyness. But when he’s on the mic, he’s not so quiet, and he’s supported by a full backing band that includes Tim Burnett on bass, Pierrick Houziaux on drums and Larry Johnson on percussion, along with a rotating lineup of supporting players that have joined the band for various live sets and in-studio sessions. The band released True! Raw Honey last year, a six-song EP that includes new versions of songs that Jaewar’s kicked around for years. He says the EP “is kind of like my thesis,” touting his theory that everything that’s important can be traced back to one of two things. “Good art is going to be about love or politics. Otherwise, you’re just making noise,” he says. The artist bases his lyrics in reality, on real stories and real emotions, both of which he says are felt most intensely on “Waddup,” which he was inspired to write around the time Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by George Zimmerman. When fatal shootings of young black men by police officers “kept happening and happening and happening,” the stories splashed all over newspapers and television screens, an overwhelmed Jaewar put the song away for a while. He picked it back up again when he saw himself in one of these men. “That would have been me,” he thought. “I’ve always felt like I’m well-spoken, I’m educated. I could talk my way out of these incidents, so this would never happen to me. But after reading his story, I cried. That would have been me, and I probably would have died, too.” With that in mind, he finished the song: “They want us crucified / Mad ’cause we’re still alive / Sometimes a killer higher / Just to feel alive. / Elevated minds / It’s ’bout
Vibe Riot (fronted by Jay “Jaewar” King, above) plays Vibe Fest at IX Art Park on Friday.
damn time / Black lives matter / I advise, don’t trivialize,” the song begins. Throughout the course of the song, the lyrics transcend Jaewar’s own feelings and ask the listener, no matter his race, religion, gender, nationality, political affiliation or life experience, to stop and ask themselves, “Waddup?” What’s going on in the song? In the world? In his heart, his mind? This sort of unification is what Jaewar is going for with Vibe Riot’s music. During live performances, he’s even willing to alter his lyrics for the sake of unification. The song “Babylon Falls” uses one verse to tell a politician’s story, then examines the feelings that story provokes. And while Jaewar doesn’t usually freestyle, he’ll change up the line about “Trump supporters” to something like “blind supporters” if he feels like the Trump line wouldn’t work in the room in that particular time and place. He’ll do it partly for the safety of the band, and partly because he hates to lose listeners who might eventually come around to what he’s saying.
“You can say things, and depending on your delivery, you can...either shut people off, or, you can have them listen to you; you can piss people off, or you can challenge them with a thought,” he says, and perhaps forge a link of understanding between seemingly different people. So even when Jaewar’s talking about politics...he’s really talking about love. “I’m passionate and driven to create art and a better world,” he says, and that’s his motivation for both Vibe Riot and the Vibe Fest event taking place at IX Art Park on Friday night. Vibe Riot will perform alongside other local artists with the intent to “harness the joy of an artful experience to help strengthen a community we love,” Jaewar says, adding that he’s making a particular effort “not to leave Charlottesville’s underrepresented underrepresented again.” Music “is a language that we all use,” he says. “We might not speak the same language, but we can still rock to the same beat.”
“You can say things, and depending on your delivery, you can...either shut people off, or, you can have them listen to you; you can piss people off, or you can challenge them with a thought.”

Launched in 2017, the Charlottesville Playwrights Collective offers local writers like Sean McCord an outlet for original work.

harlottesville has always looked at itself as a place where art can flourish, and the theater scene is no different. From Four County Players to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center to Live Arts, our area has enough live theater to go around. On any given night there is an opportunity to see live performances of all shapes and sizes, to fit all kinds of tastes. But it doesn’t become available without a great deal of work, intention and collaboration. The Charlottesville Playwrights Collective, formed more than a year ago, can tell you exactly how much work it takes. The group’s second show, Stolen Moon, by Alex Citron, opens March 2 at the Belmont Arts Collaborative. With a cast of nine, and a full set to be constructed (compared to the inaugural show Moving, which had a cast of two and a set of empty boxes), Stolen Moon is more than a few steps up. It is “A whimsical journey through the adventures of a young girl as she learns about the moon and what its magical powers are; an adult look at a traditional children’s story,” says Citron. The new organization is still working through the kinks and procedures of being a formal 501(c)(3), but has found its niche by presenting original full-length works from local playwrights, and the risk taken by the collective is starting to pay off. “If it’s a theater producing just new work, I don’t think it could work,” says Citron. “But people will come out three times a year to a 60-seat theater to see new work.” With all the live theater happening in town, it may seem risky to start a company dedicated to completely unknown plays. But as playwright and CPC member Kate
Monaghan puts it, “The impetus for the formation of this group is all due to Sean,” speaking of Sean McCord, who is a local playwright, MFA student at Hollins University and founding member of the collective. (Moving, written by McCord, was produced in September of last year). “Our original thought was let’s do a show and see how it goes,” says McCord. However, after several conversations with local playwrights and theater professionals, the group decided to form with a season of shows it could promote to build an audience. The third production, The Crying Tree by Peter Gunter, will open in June. Community theater is tricky to navigate. Successful organizations with a building and staff depend largely on volunteers for tech crew, actors, musicians and the people who take tickets. The collective is set up a little differently. “The important thing that we stress to playwrights is that this is not a submission opportunity,” McCord says. “If a playwright is selected, they have to produce their own show.” It is also expected that if your show is chosen, you will work in some way on another show during the season. Creating this collaborative culture from the beginning gives stability and sustainability that most brick-and-mortar theaters can’t rely on. The CPC welcomes participation and submissions that have been workshopped and are ready to stand on their own. “That’s the [type of] play to come into the collective,” says Monaghan, positioning the collective as a place to work out the kinks, “if it won’t improve until it goes through the rehearsal process with actors and a director.” The organization is truly committed and has a vested interest in producing work by local writers, because they are writers. And while it may be new work, it’s nice work if you can get it.

fter years spent living abroad and around the U.S., Annie Temmink thought something was missing from her native Charlottesville. “I miss really great dancing and really wild visual clothing and adornment,” she says. “They’re rich opportunities for people to have moments of unbridled, creative expression, and they’re really critical for connection, and happiness, and all the things that most people want.” As an internationally awarded sculptor and costume designer, Temmink is tackling the problem head-on by collaborating with other local artists to build “more wild and outrageous experiences in Charlottesville.” The revolution begins with “Beasts!,” a show about imagining and creating wild creatures, on display in March at The Bridge PAI and featuring pieces in Temmink’s trademark style—architectural costumes with kinetic elements—developed around the idea of making creatures she hadn’t seen before. “I didn’t set out to create a particular narrative,” she says. Rather, the works take on life once they are created, especially once they are worn. In addition to soaking up the visuals and musical performances by Weird Mob and Free Idea at the “Beasts!” opening, visitors can try their hand at creating their own work. “I work with common household items like cardboard, construction scraps and cast-off materials, and I think that adds to the fun,” Temmink says. Her wearables center on elaborate headdresses that sweep up, down or out, spanning the wearer’s crown, shoulders or entire body. From dangling mobiles to fanning coronas to glittering starbursts made of spoons, her concepts begin with everyday items and go big. “The first time you look at a spoon, you’re like, ‘I don’t know what to do with this,’” she says. But her willingness to explore—to look at a spoon over and over again, to get inspired by ice crystals and plant geometry, to arrange and rearrange shapes with pleasing emotional qualities until something clicks— evolves into works that are larger than life. Growing up in an artistic family—her father is a carpenter and her mom runs City Clay—Temmink always made things by hand. In college, she studied sculpture and realized she wanted to do something beyond “make this thing that sits on the wall.” After college, she became a Watson Fellow, receiving $25,000 and 12 months to pursue a research topic outside the U.S. “I made adornment and costumes and textiles

in Uganda, Ghana, Tanzania, Indonesia, Japan and India,” she explains. “Seeing how adornment is celebrated in other cultures gave me the link that costume is sort of like sculpture but way more fun.” Once back in Charlottesville, she got a job working in carpentry and rented a studio space where she made costumes after work and on weekends. “It was definitely one of those jumping off the deep end moments,” she says. But Temmink was committed to going outside her comfort zone, to showing up to the work and being disciplined about creation. In 2016, she produced a fashion show for the Maker Faire and began making giant hats. From there, she started getting commissions for theaters and private clients, including a fireproof Donald Trump wig for a fire ballet opera company and bedazzled shorts for Ke$ha, and for numerous fashion shows along the East Coast Most recently, Temmink’s work was featured at the World of Wearable Art in Wellington, New Zealand. “It’s like the Olympics of costumes,” she says. “The most amazing things you’ve ever seen are on display in this hybrid of fashion and theater and runway.
The organization found her work on Instagram, invited her to submit it, and her creation went on to win the award for Best New Entrant. “It’s really as simple as staring doubt in the face, and saying, ‘Look, I hear you, but I’m not going to go with that. I’m really going to be courageous and explore this idea, even if it’s crazy, or it’s not profitable,” Temmink says. “...because there’s something about it that’s really important.’” The beasts in “Beasts!” originate from that very same place. “The concept came from thinking a lot about the blocks that come up in a creative practice. To me, a beast is a thing that has a positive side to it, but it might look overwhelming at first.” And of course, she says, it’s also huge fun to make a giant creature. “The point of all of it is a joyful expression,” she says. “To make me laugh, to make other people laugh. As we get older there’s less and less room for that, or it doesn’t come up because we take things so seriously. I think it’s important to create your own joy. And there’s nothing more fun than making these wild creatures and getting to see how they come to life.”
“I work with common household items like cardboard, construction scraps and cast-off materials, and I think that adds to the fun.”

Playing for keeps Game Night wins with humor and tension By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com
WARNER BROS.
G
Game Night is a surprisingly satisfying thriller-comedy with an excellent cast that includes Rachel Adams and Jason Bateman (far right).
That plot summary sounds predictable, right? It’s possible you may guess a twist or two but you won’t anticipate how effectively it all comes together. To pull off any of the individual genres at play here—comedy, action, crime-thriller—requires a flexible yet confident sense of style, which Game Night has. Think of the slew of action-comedies that limp into theaters every year and are instantly forgotten. The focus is in the wrong place, hoping to slide into your good grace by charisma alone. A confident direc-
tor with a smart cast can turn a milquetoast gag into a hilarious moment, but the best writing in the world can’t make up for sloppy filmmaking. In Game Night, the direction and editing are taut, the action scenes are legitimately tense and inventive, and the script is hilarious even before it’s elevated by the cast. The performers deserve special recognition, whether they play into type (Bateman) or against (McAdams, Chandler). Every character is memorable and none are wast-

Game Night February 28 – March 6, 2018 c-ville.com
ame Night is a funny, exciting thriller-comedy with fun performances and a story that keeps you guessing. Who in the world saw this coming? Certainly not whoever edited the trailer, which sold it as another underwritten yarn with an on-the-nose title about insufferable schmucks who get in over their heads and shout about things seconds after they happen. But that’s not what we get from directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who had previously written hits Horrible Bosses and contributed to the Spider-Man: Homecoming script. Almost immediately, Game Night sets a strikingly unique tone and remains confident in its material not relying on vamping and excessive improvisation from a talented cast. Game Night follows a group of friends who, you guessed it, gather for a regular game night that gets wrapped up in a vast criminal conspiracy. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams play married couple Max and Annie, whose relationship is firmly rooted in their shared competitive nature. The arrival of Max’s brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), who Max has never been able to beat in a game, throws him off his edge mentally and physically—his stress, as it turns out, is interfering with the couple’s ability to conceive. Brooks offers to kick things up a notch, promising a murder mystery that blurs the line between reality and fiction. But when the company Brooks hired is hijacked by actual criminals, no one is certain who to trust.

Judy McLeod exhibits work from her career in three shows at three different galleries this month. She will give a progressive gallery talk beginning at 2pm on March 25 at McGuffey Art Center.
During the month of March, local artist Judy McLeod exhibits work from her oeuvre at three different galleries, each individual show representing a different phase in her 40-plus years of art-making. “An artist works in series whereby an idea is pursued visually for months or years in terms of a medium,” says McLeod, and while selecting pieces for her retrospective, she sought to tell the story of her “art ideas and energies.” On view in the Dickinson Galleries at Piedmont Virginia Community College is “Patterns of Life, 1980-2000,” which McLeod says takes a “me, my, mine” approach to looking at things. “Inspirations, 20002015,” at McGuffey Art Center’s Smith Gallery, offers a “we, our, others” perspective, while the show of her current work at Les Yeux du Monde Gallery includes ruminations on horizons as well as invented maps of history (her own and that of others), with an eye to a shared future. Certain themes course through all of McLeod’s work, including life patterns and water, but the most notable is of womanhood. Many of the pieces look at what it means to be a woman, at feminism and the desire for independence while also embracing sisterhood with other women in the world. —Erin O’Hare

Looking good Dogs and cats have an extra eyelid By Mike Fietz, DVM living@c-ville.com
Penelope here. So, I got into some scuffles with my sister and ended up here. I’m real gentle, honest! I’d just prefer to be the only dog in your life.
Hey, I’m Puca. I’m not shy about asking for attention, whether you’re at the computer or lounging on the couch. I just want some pets. Can we snuggle?
juries are usually simple to manage, and serve as evidence that the membrane performed admirably. Better to have an injured third eyelid than an injured eyeball. These cases are the ocular equivalent of fender-benders. At least a few times a year, I’m also likely to see a puppy with “cherry eye,” an ugly pink lump in the corner of one or both eyes. That lump is a wayward tear gland that is supposed to be tucked deep behind the third eyelid. In some dogs (and rarely in cats), the tissue meant to hold the gland in place is too loose, allowing it to pop up over the edge of the lid. Apart from being unsightly, this can damage the tear gland and cause chronic irritation, and usually requires surgical correction to put that little sucker back where it belongs. Perhaps it’s a bit odd that our pets have a third eyelid that we don’t. But given its prevalence in other species, and how useful it can be in preventing injury, I think it’s more appropriate to wonder why we only have two.
Your dog’s third eyelid is a pink sheet of tissue that remains out of view under normal circumstances.

Hi, I’m Franie. Around here, I’m pretty popular—I love attention and will stop at nothing to get it. Let’s have a chat or sit and bird-watch.
February 28 – March 6, 2018 c-ville.com
What’s up? I’m Andy, and I’ve never met a stranger. Give me treats and I’m yours forever (and I’ll work on that whole leash thing—I’ve almost got it!).
A
t a glance, you wouldn’t even know it’s there. Dogs and cats appear to have the same two eyelids that we do. But look closer, especially if you find your pet half asleep, and you might catch a glimpse of their third eyelid. Properly called the nictitans, it’s a pink sheet of tissue that stretches diagonally from the inner corner of each eye, but which stays drawn out of view under normal circumstances. The nictitans isn’t unique to our household pets. This membrane is common across the animal kingdom, and is seen in a variety of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. It’s even translucent in some species, functioning as flipup safety goggles. And while human beings don’t have a proper third eyelid, you can see the vestigial remnant of yours in the mirror—a little band of pink tissue called the plica semilunaris. In dogs and cats, the third eyelid isn’t directly controlled by any muscles. Instead, it works
as a spring-loaded protective device. When threatened or injured, the eye reflexively sinks backwards into its socket. This simply gives the nictitans enough room to pop up and do its job. Once the situation has passed, the eye returns to its normal position, forcing the nictitans back into its pocket. This is important because if a pet’s third eyelid remains exposed, it means something is wrong with that eye. It could be a simple eye infection, or perhaps a scratched cornea. Sometimes I’ll find foreign material—perhaps a bit of grass or grit— stuck in there. And if both are exposed, it can indicate a wide variety of underlying causes ranging from dehydration to neuromuscular disease. It’s not uncommon that I see an animal with an injured third eyelid. It’s relatively delicate, and the edge can easily be cut or torn. But these in-

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
By Rob Brezsny
Aries (March 21-April 19): On September 1, 1666, a London baker named Thomas Farriner didn’t take proper precautions to douse the fire in his oven before he went to sleep. Consequences were serious. The conflagration that ignited in his little shop burned down large parts of the city. Three hundred twenty years later, a group of bakers gathered at the original site to offer a ritual atonement. “It’s never too late to apologize,” said one official, acknowledging the tardiness of the gesture. In that spirit, Aries, I invite you to finally dissolve a clump of guilt you’ve been carrying...or express gratitude that you should have delivered long ago...or resolve a messy ending that still bothers you...or transform your relationship with an old wound...or all of the above.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): The Committee to Fanatically Promote Taurus’ Success is pleased to see that you’re not waiting politely for your next turn. You have come to the brilliant realization that what used to be your fair share is no longer sufficient. You intuitively sense that you have a cosmic mandate to skip a few steps—to ask for more and better and faster results. As a reward for this outbreak of shrewd and well-deserved self-love, and in recognition of the blessings that are currently showering down on your astrological House of Noble Greed, you are hereby granted three weeks’ worth of extra service, free bonuses, special treatment and abundant slack.
Gemini
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Appalachian Trail is a 2,200-mile path that runs through the
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): As you make appointments in the coming months, you could reuse calendars from 2007 and 2001. During those years, all the dates fell on the same days of the week as they do in 2018. On the other hand, Pisces, please don’t try to learn the same lessons you learned in 2007 and 2001. Don’t get snagged in identical traps or sucked into similar riddles or obsessed with comparable illusions. On the other hand, it might help for you to recall the detours you had to take back then, since you may thereby figure out how to avoid repeating boring old experiences that you don’t need to repeat. eastern United States. Hikers can wind their way through forests and wilderness areas from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia. Along the way they may encounter black bears, bobcats, porcupines and wild boars. These natural wonders may seem to be at a remote distance from civilization, but they are in fact conveniently accessible from America’s biggest metropolis. For $8.75, you can take a train from Grand Central Station in New York City to an entry point of the Appalachian Trail. This scenario is an apt metaphor for you right now, Cancerian. With relative ease, you can escape from your routines and habits. I hope you take advantage!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Is 2018 turning out to be as I expected it would be for you? Have you become more accepting of yourself and further at peace with your mysterious destiny? Are you benefiting from greater stability and security? Do you feel more at home in the world and better nurtured by your close allies? If for some reason these developments are not yet in bloom, withdraw from every lesser concern and turn your focus to them. Make sure you make full use of the gifts that life is conspiring to provide for you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You can’t find intimacy—you can’t find home—when you’re always hiding behind masks,” says Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz. “Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.” I can’t imagine any better advice to offer you as you navigate your way through the next seven weeks, Virgo. You will have a
wildly fertile opportunity to find and create more intimacy. But in order to take full advantage, you’ll have to be brave and candid and unshielded.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, you could reach several odd personal bests. For instance, your ability to distinguish between flowery bullshit and inventive truth-telling will be at a peak. Your “imperfections” will be more interesting and forgivable than usual, and might even work to your advantage. I suspect you’ll also have an adorable inclination to accomplish the half-right thing when it’s impossible to do the perfectly right thing. Finally, all the astrological omens suggest that you will have a tricky power to capitalize on lucky lapses.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): French philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.” American author Henry David Thoreau declared, “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” I would hesitate to offer these two formulations in the horoscope of any other sign but yours, Scorpio. And I would even hesitate to offer them to you at any other time besides right now. But I feel that you currently have the strength of character and fertile willpower necessary to make righteous use of such stringently medicinal magic. So please proceed with my agenda for you, which is to become the smartest, feistiest, most resourceful lover who has ever lived.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The state of Kansas has more than 6,000 ghost towns—places where people once lived, but then abandoned. Daniel C. Fitzgerald has written six books documenting these places. He’s an expert on
researching what remains of the past and drawing conclusions based on the old evidence. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you consider doing comparable research into your own lost and half-forgotten history. You can generate vigorous psychic energy by communing with origins and memories. Remembering who you used to be will clarify your future.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s not quite a revolution that’s in the works, but it is a sprightly evolution. Accelerating developments may test your ability to adjust gracefully. Quickly shifting storylines will ask you to be resilient and flexible. But the unruly flow won’t throw you into a stressful tizzy as long as you treat it as an interesting challenge instead of an inconvenient imposition. My advice is not to stiffen your mood or narrow your range of expression, but rather to be like an actor in an improvisation class. Fluidity is your word of power.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s the productive paradox phase of your cycle, and you can generate good luck and unexpected help by romancing the contradictions. For example: 1. You’ll enhance your freedom by risking deeper commitment. 2. You’ll gain greater control over wild influences by loosening your grip and providing more spaciousness. 3. If you are willing to appear naive, empty or foolish, you’ll set the stage for getting smarter. 4. A blessing you didn’t realize you needed will come your way after you relinquish a burdensome “asset.” 5. Greater power will flow your way if you expand your capacity for receptivity.

(May 21-June 20): No one can be somewhat pregnant. You either are or you’re not. But from a metaphorical perspective, your current state is a close approximation to that impossible condition. Are you or are you not going to commit yourself to birthing a new creation? Decide soon, please. Opt for one or the other resolution; don’t remain in the gray area. And there’s more to consider. You are indulging in excessive in-betweenness in other areas of your life, as well. You’re almost brave and sort of free and semi-faithful. My advice about these halfway states is the same: Either go all the way or else stop pretending you might.

As a Charlottesville-area resident since the late 1960s, I’m often asked about the “changes.” Mostly this comes from people worried we are overbuilding roads, houses and stores, and diluting the small-town character that brought us or kept us here. My answer is that Charlottesville is better than ever—the mix of old and new (an award-winning winery in the county, a modern architect on the Downtown Mall) makes for a fascinating and engaging small town. In the following pages, you will see ads from all manner of businesses, from Service Dogs of Virginia to Derriere de Soie to MarieBette Cafe. By joining our “We are C-VILLE” campaign, these advertisers are reaching out to our readers and underwriting our work as a community newspaper in a community that needs one. Love them back to find out how rich life in C’ville can be. BILL CHAPMAN, FOUNDING EDITOR

CENTRAL LIBRARY: A HISTORY The first known library in downtown Charlottesville was created in 1823 by a group of citizens that included Thomas Jefferson. The “Albemarle Library Society” boasted an initial collection of 238 titles. It was not until 1919 and the generosity of Paul Goodloe McIntire that a truly public library was formed. The cornerstone was laid in November 1919, and the new “Charlottesville Public Library” opened its doors to the public on May 30, 1921. In October 1977, the Market Street Post Office building was purchased by Charlottesville and Albemarle County and a 17-month renovation project took place. After moving the McIntire collection of 90,000 volumes into the building on Market Street, the new Central Library opened on February 2, 1981 to patrons eager for a larger facility. The upstairs of the library building had originally been a courtroom. Among other important legal battles at the building was the 1950 hearing where Gregory Swanson and his legal team, including future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, won Mr. Swanson's admission as the first African American to attend UVA.

Sometimes you just want a steak. STARTED
by George Spathos who arrived to the United States from Greece at age eighteen, the Aberdeen Barn has been a family owned and operated business since 1965. George began his restaurant career with a small breakfast place on Main St. in the 1950’s where he worked to fulfill his dream of opening a big time steakhouse, one similar to those he had seen in New York City upon arriving to this country. The Aberdeen Barn is just that – a ‘big time steakhouse’ – a true upscale dining establishment run to the highest standard. Familiar yet innovative, traditional yet forward-thinking, these are all attributes unique to the Aberdeen Barn experience. Dinner at “the Barn” has become as central to the Charlottesville experience as tailgating at Scott Stadium before the big game. Today, you’ll find George’s son and daughter, Terry and Angela, running the show, working to achieve that fine balance between honoring their father’s dream while providing the type of upscale experience today’s fine dining customer requires. Head Chef Robert Johnson and Assistant Chef, Curtis Burton combine for 70 years of service. Together with a seasoned wait staff, they work as a family to maintain the tradition of quality that defines this class institution and proudly bring it into the future.

Buying and selling homes while living in five states exposed me to several different real estate environments, which help me in the diverse Charlottesville area markets. I understand the stress of moving into a new town, not knowing the area at all, and needing to find a home. I also know the process of buying and selling is still stressful even if you have lived here your whole life. My job is to make sure the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

From pushcarts to modern transportation, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Central Virginia (PCVA) has withstood the test of time. As the holder of the oldest, written, and recorded Pepsi-Cola franchise, PCVA remains family owned and operated over 100 years after its birth in a basement on the corner of 4th and Water Street in downtown Charlottesville. Following the death of the company’s founder, Samuel Ambrose Jessup, or “Mr. S.A.”, in 1960, his youngest son, Jimmie Jessup became President of the company. Jimmie introduced many changes to PCVA, including a move in November, 1963 to a location on Millmont Street. PCVA eventually outgrew this location and in 1983 the current production and sales facility was constructed and occupied. Jimmie remained president of the company until his passing in February, 1984. After their father's death in 1984, Jay Jessup (President) and Suzanne Jessup Brooks (Executive Vice President), became the 3rd generation of bottlers at the helm of PCVA. PCVA has enjoyed over 107 years in the Charlottesville community and looks forward to many more!

I opened Hot Yoga Charlottesville in downtown Charlottesville on January 27, 2004. Yoga started off, for me, as a means of cross training an active athletic lifestyle. While the physical benefits are still a driving force in my practice, yoga’s ability to increase focus and reduce stress are equally as important.

Some of my fondest memories from childhood are of my family’s farm. When my cousins and I were old enough to count, we ran the cash register, and when our legs got long enough, we drove the tractor. Throughout high school, we gathered plants on wagons and helped load them onto trailers where they were shipped up and down the East Coast. Saunders Brothers is located in beautiful Nelson County. We are a family owned orchard, nursery, and
Farm Market. The business has evolved considerably since it began in 1915 with the original five brothers who sold livestock and apples. Today, my grandfather, father and three uncles run the business along with many other employees who feel like family at this point. We now grow and sell boxwood, perennials, annuals, and shrubs as well as peaches, apples, cherries, Asian pears, and farm-raised beef and pork. The Farm Market is a great spot to stop by and visit.

ervice Dogs of Virginia has been helping people with disabilities in a unique, empowering way since 2000. Whether a person has a spinal cord injury that changes them from a fully functioning individual to a quadriplegic in the blink of an eye, to a parent who receives a diagnosis of autism for their child, to a member of the military with a diagnosis of PTSD, or a Type1 Diabetic who has lost all recognition of low blood sugar, life has taken a severe and irreversible turn. Service Dogs of Virginia provides a specially trained companion who helps their person live with greater independence, security, and peace of mind. We have never charged a fee for our dogs, relying instead on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and philanthropic organizations to help us underwrite the cost of each dog. Most of our clients have considerable disability expenses and no government funding or insurance pays for a service dog. Our dogs undergo two years of training, beginning at eight weeks of age. At placement, they have had 700 hours of training, been to 50 different places, and learned over 30 advanced commands. They work for no pay except a little kibble and a lot of love. They are steady, reliable, and joyous.

IT’S BEEN ALMOST 30 YEARS Guadalajara was established in October of 1988 by the Arellano Ornelas Lopez family, as the first Mexican restaurant in the Charlottesville area. Our goal was to have a future in Charlottesville, and provide for our family. In the beginning an extraordinary amount of work was required. We had no friends or family in the area, and running a restaurant was a totally new experience. Despite the difficulties of simultaneously opening and new business and raising a family, we continued to focus on perfecting our recipes, and improving our business. 28 years later, our sons have grown up and are now running our four locations, along with family friends, throughout Charlottesville. Guadalajara offers a large variety of Mexican food to give our customers a little taste of everything. Family owned and locally operated, we proudly make everything in house. Nothing comes pre-packaged or pre-made. All of our salsas are made from scratch, and our meats are sliced and cooked in house. Come see why we are still Charlottesville’s favorite Mexican Restaurant after 28 years. Thank you to our loyal customers for all of your support!

Eight years later, Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates includes 3 principles, 30 agents and a 4-person support team. In 2016, this truly local, boutique firm closed just under $224,000,000 in sales, establishing itself as the 3rd largest real estate firm in Central Virginia. Beyond always putting clients first, Loring and her partners Lindsay Milby and Christine Lisle attribute the success of Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates to superior marketing and a company culture that rewards integrity and collaboration between agents. In its eight years in business, the company has retained every agent who has joined the firm but one. The principles take tremendous pride in the work environment they have created, as well as their never-lower-their-standards level of marketing and client service.
We Are C-VILLE
The real estate professionals of Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates love what they do, how they do it and where they do it. Truly, everyone at Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates takes pleasure in the practice of residential real estate sales in Charlottesville, Virginia. Loring, Lindsay and Christine look forward to continuing as a one-shop, boutique firm comprised of agents who put honesty, professionalism and client satisfaction first and foremost.

Q&A Do you think stricter gun control is the answer to preventing school shootings?
Yes, it is one step on the road to making us safer.
Saying that it’s no use to have gun control ’cause criminals will still find a way to get guns is the same as not locking your doors at night because a robber will find another way to get in. Does scenario No. 2 make sense to you? Same how scenario No. 1 makes no sense to me.
I think if every single person pledged not to shoot other people, and then kept that pledge, it would go a long way toward preventing gun deaths. @RTRJNH/TWITTER
Absolutely! And to ban military-grade weapons. Our forefathers didn’t mean these types of weapons in this modernized civilization. I’m appalled I can’t get a tank to defend myself!

If we place greater restrictions on guns, we will still have school shootings. The only reasonable solution is to get rid of schools. JUSTIN BEIGHTS/FACEBOOK
No.
