FEATURE 19 This year, however, will be the first time I fill out two brackets, because my adopted team is blowing expectations out of the stadium (p. 19). Anyone who follows Virginia basketball knows about the Cavs’ pack line defense, but this season has proven that every player not only buys into but embraces the all-for-one team mentality that Coach Tony Bennett instills. As the No. 1 seed going into the NCAA tournament (play starts Thursday), Is this the year Virginia basketball finally wins it all? the question remains: Can Virginia take it all—something it has never done before. If there’s any year I’d be okay with seeing a team other than Kentucky ARTS 29 win the national championship, it’s this one. Go Hoos!—Jessica Luck 31 Calendar Listings

—A March 8 tweet by failed gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart, who stopped by Charlottesville March 10 during his campaign for Senate.
NEWS IN BRIEF
Assault and battery A Western Albemarle High School teacher has been placed on administrative leave after he was arrested for a physical altercation with a student on February 16. Oluwole Adesina, a 53-year-old Crozet resident, faces up to a year in jail or a $2,500 fine for the misdemeanor assault and battery charge.
Candles in, tiki torches out Just ahead of Jason Kessler’s March 6 lawsuit against the city complaining that City Manager Maurice Jones unconstitutionally denied his permit for a two-day August 12 anniversary rally—Jones also denied five other applicants’ permit requests for the weekend—City Council updated its event permit regulations February 20. ■ 45-day notice if street closure requested, 30 days if not
STOCK PHOTO
■ Prohibited: Open flames, except for hand-held candles for ceremonial events
If a “breeder” with a sketchy website tries to sell you a puppy this cute on the cheap, it’s probably a scam.
Attorney General Mark Herring says his consumer protection team continues to receive complaints from people “who thought they were buying an incredibly cute puppy from an online breeder, only to find out it was a scam and the dog didn’t exist.” Red flags for this scam include stock photos, exotic or designer breeds for cheap, and poorly made websites that include misspellings and grammatical errors, he says.
Life and then some
Hogwaller Farm, a nine-acre development with 30 apartments and an urban farm, has been proposed near Moores Creek along Nassau Street, according to the Daily Progress, which reported March 11 that developer Justin Shimp submitted a zoning amendment pre-application last summer to ask Albemarle officials to change the lightindustrial designation to rural so he could plant seven acres of “really dank bud.”
■ Small group exception: Up to 50 citizens may spontaneously demonstrate without a permit
Highlights from Kessler’s complaint: ■ The city couldn’t guarantee a clear path to enter Emancipation Park for his fellow Lee statue-loving protesters.
■ The permit denial is based on crowd size, but there’s plenty of room in the one-acre park, which could hold as many as 20,000 people “cheek to jowl.”
■ Because of the city’s “misconduct,” fewer people will attend and a “reduced crowd will dilute” Kessler’s message.
■ The city’s denial was based on Kessler’s viewpoint and violates his First and 14th Amendment rights.
A HEADLINE WE’RE STARTING TO GET USED TO: ANOTHER AUGUST 12 LAWSUIT Georgetown Law’s Civil Rights Clinic filed a federal defamation lawsuit March 13 on behalf of a Unite the Right rally counterprotester who claims to be a victim of fake news conspiracies. Brennan Gilmore’s cell phone footage of the deadly car attack on Fourth Street went viral on August 12, and “Gilmore was contacted by media outlets to discuss his experience and soon became the target of elaborate online conspiracies that placed him at the center of a ‘deep-state’ plot to stage the attack and destabilize the Trump administration,” says a press release from the law group. Now he’s suing defendants Alex Jones, Infowars, former Congressman Allen West and others for “intentional infliction
of emotional distress” and “mobilizing an army of followers to pursue a campaign of harassment and threats against him.” The lawsuit seeks punitive damages and compensation for Gilmore’s alleged reputational injuries and emotional distress. “From Sandy Hook to Pizzagate to Charlottesville, Las Vegas and now Parkland, the defendants thrive by inciting devastating real-world consequences with the propaganda and lies they publish as news,” says Gilmore. “Today, I’m asking a court to hold them responsible for the personal and professional damage their lies have caused me, and, more importantly, to deter them from repeating this dangerous pattern of defamation and intimidation.”

A jury recommended a 184-year sentence for Cathy S. Rothgeb, the former Orange County youth softball coach found guilty on March 12 on 30 of 34 charges, which include forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual battery and object sexual penetration of two former athletes.

Overhaul Van der Linde dumps its recycling program By Natalie Jacobsen reporter@c-ville.com
O
n February 19, the area’s main transfer station for trash and recycling haulers, Van der Linde Recycling, abruptly shuttered its household waste processing facility. The sudden halt jolted Charlottesville and the counties that have relied on Van der Linde as the focal transfer station for processing recycled materials placed into customers’ all-inone-bins. In a statement, founder Peter van der Linde promised 30 more days of service and invoice fulfillment. Liz Palmer, the Samuel Miller representative on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, says she and local municipalities were unaware of any decisions until the press release. “Van der Linde did not alert anyone ahead of time, as far as I know,” she says. Haulers such as Time Disposal may have “been somewhat aware ahead of us,” she says. Time Disposal had not returned C-VILLE’s phone calls by press time. Van der Linde, which opened in 2008, is continuing most of its operations with a shifting focus on construction and demolition debris, according to the release. The decision to close the household waste processing facility “was not an easy one, as much time, effort and expense have gone into it,” Van der Linde says in the release, and the company decided to concentrate “efforts in areas of business that are more profitable.” What does that mean for household waste and all-in-one recycling items? “[It is] all going to the landfill,” says Palmer. “I believe that their faulty machinery led to them taking most of [the intake] to the landfill anyway,” she says. In 2011, Van der Linde was plagued by vandalization of its equipment, and earlier, in 2009, the company was blindsided when the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority filed a RICO lawsuit, typically used against organizations like the Mafia. Peter van der Linde said at the time that RSWA’s decision was creating a “waste war.” Out of all materials picked up from consumers, Palmer recalls Van der Linde reporting that around 20 percent was successfully recycled. She believes the number in reality was much lower. Van der Linde declined to comment for this story. “Commodity prices for recycled materials has gone down over the last several

years. This is different from single-stream recycling,” she says. “When you do all-inone-bin mixes, the quality of the material is poorer and harder to get rid of.” Dumping prices are lower at a landfill, making that a significantly cheaper option. Commodity pricing woes are echoed in Van der Linde’s press release, saying “the bleak forecast” played into the company’s “economic decision to close our household processing facility.” These issues are not restricted to Charlottesville, or even Virginia. China’s tidal wave decision to cease to accept foreign waste in December 2017 caused a ripple effect. Nearly one-third of the U.S.’s waste is exported, with half of that having been shipped to China. Now that relying on China is no longer an option, companies and cities have scrambled to reduce their waste, and increase local programs to process and store it. This is where the problem lies: “Everyone wants it, but nobody wants it near them,” says Palmer, of processing facilities. Currently, Charlottesville has two other sites where city and county residents can take recyclables: McIntire Recycling Center and Ivy Material Utilization Center. (The city’s contracted trash and recycling program will be unaffected.) “McIntire Recycling is very user friendly—it is very easy for individuals to take their bags of waste there,” says Palmer. Their websites list all of the materials that can be dropped off with them. CONTINUED ON PAGE 13
“Virginia has very few regulations regarding recycling. These companies have communitywide services that the cities and counties rely on, but they are totally private. There is no checking.” LIZ PALMER

Single-stream recycling programs allow a household to consolidate all products (newspaper, plastic, aluminum, cardboard) into one recycling-designated container, which is later separated at a facility. All-in-one-bin allows compost materials, recyclables and garbage to be mixed together and sorted by a processor.

his time serving as a sergeant the U.S. Army, and his wife was coping with postpartum depression. “My life was in shambles,” he said. “[Ronna] made me feel liked.” After she performed fellatio on him, Seymore said he went to the police department to finish writing his report for the hit-and-run. Gary testified that she took a sleeping aid and was awakened by a loud banging on her bedroom window a few hours later, around 7:45am. It was Seymore. He was back, dressed in plain clothes and asking to come inside. Seymore testified that about five minutes after he asked to come inside, she appeared in a “very sexy piece of lingerie.” He said she led him to her bedroom where she asked to have intercourse, but after she couldn’t find a condom, she performed oral sex for the second time. The two discussed that Seymore would come back next time he was on duty. He’d go buy a “big box” of condoms and leave it at her house, he said. Gary testified she performed oral sex both times because she was intimidated and she feared what would happen if she didn’t. She denied inviting him back. Defense attorney Elizabeth Murtagh showed the jury texts that Gary sent her ex-boyfriend shortly thereafter. One message said Seymore was only 34, noted the size of his penis, that he had a “body from hell” and that he “likes handcuffs.”

The officer never came back. Gary made contact with Seymore about 10 days later when the two exchanged several phone calls. In one of them, they both testified they chatted casually about Thanksgiving and their families. Seymore said Gary asked him to loan her money to buy Christmas presents for her kids—a claim that she denies. Call logs show that after she hung up the phone, she dialed Officer Declan Hickey, an acquaintance who had helped her initially get in touch with Seymore. Hickey testified that this is when Gary told him Seymore forcibly sodomized her. He reported it, and the whirlwind began. Murtagh painted Gary as a money hungry woman with financial issues. She called the case a “cash cow” for Gary, who told friends that she could make a million dollars off of it, an allegation Gary didn’t dispute. The attorney showed the judge an issue of C-VILLE Weekly in which it was reported a friend had created a crowdfunding site for Gary to raise enough money to move out of Charlottesville. Murtagh called Martin Kumer, the superintendent of the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, to testify about another instance in which Gary allegedly asked for money. Kumer said Gary filed an undisclosed complaint against the jail, so he went to her house to investigate it. “She slid a piece of paper across her coffee table,” Kumer said, and told him she wouldn’t go to the media if he paid the amount she had written on the paper. It was $5,000. Murtagh also questioned the alleged victim’s credibility. She told the jury about a 2005 case in Howard County, Maryland, in which Gary “fabricated” a “pretty outrageous”
t was his word versus hers, and after a two-day trial, a jury believed him. In the case where ex-Charlottesville Police Department officer Christopher Seymore was charged with forcibly sodomizing Ronna Gary—twice—in her Shamrock Road home, a jury deliberated fourand-a-half hours and found him not guilty on both counts. Gary claimed that two November 18, 2016, sexual encounters with Seymore were against her will—that he was a cop, with a badge and a gun, and when he unzipped his pants, she felt pressured to her knees in her living room, where she says she had no choice but to perform oral sex on him. “What was I supposed to do,” Gary said during her lengthy testimony. “He’s a cop.” Seymore was responding to a hit-and-run incident on her street early that morning when Gary came outside, told the officer what she saw and invited him into her home while he waited for a truck to tow the impaired vehicle. And although they both agree that after the truck came Seymore removed his body camera and went back inside Gary’s house, the two accounts diverge from there. Before the trial, Gary spoke to multiple media outlets—including C-VILLE—about her version of what happened. But it was in Charlottesville Circuit Court on March 5 that the pub“She made me lic heard Seymore’s side of the story for the first time. feel good, and I When he took the witness Christopher Seymore was hadn’t felt good stand, the former cop said Gary found not guilty of two had been flirting with him charges of forcible sodomy. in a long time.” throughout the night. COURTESY CHARLOTTESVILLE CHRISTOPHER SEYMORE CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 POLICE DEPARTMENT Internal affairs investigator Brian O’Donnell, who viewed Seymore’s body cam footage, also testified he thought Gary seemed flirtatious. (Because of a miscommunication, it was not preserved.) She said he could come to her house any time without a warrant, Seymore said. When she showed him around her abode, she allegedly took him to the bedroom and said, “This is where the magic happens.” Seymore said she called him “the hottest cop [she’d] ever seen.” “She made me feel good,” Seymore testified. “And I hadn’t felt good in a long time.” The former cop said he’d been married since February of that year. His wife had just given birth to their son, who is now 18 months old. Seymore also has full custody of his 7-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, and he testified that in the same year of the offense, his wife’s dog had attacked his daughter, his daughter was hospitalized with severe asthma, he suffered Alledged victim Ronna Gary says she’s devastated that she lost her case against Christopher from post traumatic stress disorder from Seymore, and she understands why victims don’t come forward.

At this time, County Waste serves more than 350,000 customers in the Central Virginia region, both urban and rural. County Waste currently is the main hauler of single-stream pickups across Central Virginia, with its Chester facility meeting “high expectations and specs, and [it] is producing quality material,” says Jerry Cifor, County Waste principal. “My hat is tipping off to Peter [van der Linde],” Cifor adds. “His facility did a fantastic job; he put in a lot of effort and maintained it, and it wasn’t easy or cheap.” County Waste will use the former Van der Linde facility and landfill as a transfer point between their other branches and facilities, including Chester and Richmond. Whether that helps with making recycling programs more accessible to all Virginia residents, however, remains a question. “Right now, Augusta County has 11 dropoff points, Nelson has six and Albemarle has one,” says Palmer. Time Disposal is working to make arrangements with County Waste to expand routes and service options to both urban and rural citizens, she says. Cifor says, “the best and more successful recycling programs have high individual involvement. When someone invests and gets involved, that’s when the program becomes most effective.” Another conflict with the recycling and waste management programs has been oversight. “Virginia has very few regulations regarding recycling,” says Palmer. “These companies have community-wide services that the cities and counties rely on, but they are totally private. There is no checking.” As climate change has become an increasingly discussed issue in communities, Palmer says Charlottesville, the counties and Virginia “need to [do it] better.” “The community wants to reduce [its] carbon footprint, and the city needs to [reflect] that,” she says. “UVA is doing great work in composting, and the city is responding, but we need to do this more appropriately,” she says. If County Waste is able to follow its plan of opening a local singlestream processing facility next year, Palmer says that would help the city immensely. “The elderly and disabled living in counties have few or no options,” she says. “We need [to have] more source centers, better quality material and to recycle more.”

He’s clearly kicked by your client multiple times,” said Moore. “I can’t find this evidence irrelevant.” Prosecutor Nina Antony said the commonwealth is proceeding on a theory that the assault was “concert of action by a mob” that Goodwin was part of, even if Harris’ injuries were caused by others.

n Arkansas man whose own attorney admits he kicked DeAndre Harris in the Market Street Garage August 12 filed two motions to exclude evidence of the brutal beating because he claimed the serious injuries to Harris happened before the kicks. Jacob Goodwin, 23, of Ward, Arkansas, was arrested in November and charged with malicious wounding, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison and a minimum five-year sentence. His attorney from Blairs, Elmer Woodard, spent most of the March 7 hearing showing video to Judge Rick Moore to establish that assailants such as Tyler Davis, the 49-year-old Florida man arrested January 24, and others identified as “Salmon Shirt” and “White Helmet” were the ones who seriously injured Harris, and that Harris’ broken wrist and head gash that required staples happened before Goodwin came on the scene to deliver a few kicks to his stomach and legs. Harris “attacked Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Goodwin defended himself,” said Woodard. He contended that a list of Harris’ injuries was “unbiased testimony from

$466,000 goes to purchase an annuity for Davis, who is also entitled to receive $10,000 for tuition at a Virginia community college. Davis says he’d use the lump sum to pay off debts and buy a reliable vehicle. “I’m so afraid my car will die on me,” he says. He also wants to take classes to get electrical or HVAC certification. “I want to get educated,” he says. “I know I can’t live off this money forever.” The General Assembly session adjourned March 10 without voting on a final budget bill, and the fate of Davis’ compensation is uncertain. If the General Assembly does not have a budget to fund government operations on July 1, Governor Ralph Northam will likely propose a new budget and require a vote.

Another August 12 charge moves forward
@cvillenews_desk
t wasn’t enough that a wrongful conviction took nearly 13 years of Robert Davis’ life. Now, two years after he was released from prison and more than a year after then-Governor Terry McAuliffe granted him a full pardon, the General Assembly is stalled in a budget war that threatens to hose Davis’ state-mandated compensation. Delegate David Toscano carried the bill that would give Davis nearly $600,000, and it passed the House 100-0. But when it went to the Senate, it became entangled in the Senate’s budget that does not expand Medicaid and the House’s, which does. That difference caused the Senate to slice expenditures, even for the wrongfully incarcerated. Davis was 18 years old when he was named as a participant in a February 2003 murder of Nola Charles and her 3-year-old son. After being subjected to a police interrogation that resulted in what’s been called a “textbook” false confession, Davis entered an Alford plea and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. It was only after two siblings convicted in the slayings, Rocky and Jessica Fugett, admitted that Davis had nothing to do with the deaths, that he was released from prison December 21, 2015. “It’s frustrating,” says Davis. “I made $12,000 last year,” working four and five part-time jobs. The General Assembly has a formula to compensate the wrongfully incarcerated that’s based on 90 percent of the state’s per capita income. “I don’t think it’s fair,” says Davis’ attorney Steve Rosenfield. “It does not take into account the 12 years of a young man’s life.
It doesn’t take into account going to the movies or getting a pizza—all the things that were denied Robert.” If the General Assembly agrees to the compensation, Davis would get an initial lump sum of $116,463 as soon as he signs a release agreeing to not make further claims against the state.

Will the ACC champs’ historic run continue?

NUMBERS GAME
*** It wasn’t supposed to be this team, perched atop the AP Top 25 poll standings for five weeks in a row. A team without point guard London Perrantes, without Malcolm Brogdon, last year’s NBA Rookie of the Year. A team that wasn’t even ranked in the top 25 going into the season. It wasn’t supposed to be this season, either. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. But the fact is, it was this team that won the Atlantic Coast Conference title outright and came away as ACC tournament champs. And it was this season that brought the Cavaliers to the NCAA Tournament with a record of 31-2 (17-1 in the ACC, a league record). Some would look at Virginia’s No. 1 ranking and ask: “How did this team get here?” And the answer would be: 53.4. That’s the average number of points per game Virginia has allowed from opponents. The next closest is Cincinnati, a solid four points behind the Cavaliers, at 57.1 points per game. But Virginia’s always been good at defense, one might counter. Yes, but even by Virginia’s standards, the team is having an exceptional year. Last year, the Cavs ended the season at 56.4 points allowed per game. The year before it was 60.1. In fact, the only year in the past five where Virginia has defended

2017-2018: 42% field goals, 39% three-point shots, 90% free throws, 10.5 points per game, 2.3 assist-to-turnover ratio 2016-2017: 47% field goals, 40% three-point shots, 78% free throws, 4.3 points per game, 1.67 assist-to-turnover ratio
better was the 2014-2015 season—the year the team leaders were Brogdon, Justin Anderson and Anthony Gill. And hiding at the bottom of that roster, unaware perhaps that they would be leading the team soon, was redshirt freshman Devon Hall and freshman Isaiah Wilkins. These two guys have been the heart and soul of Virginia’s team this year, from the very first tip-off against UNC Greensboro to the final game of the ACC Tournament. Wilkins left the ACC final against North Carolina averaging 5.9 points, 1.5 blocks and 6.3 rebounds per game, but he also brings something much more important to the team, something that doesn’t show up in the box score—hustle. If a ball is loose, you can bet Wilkins is falling all over the floor trying to get it. If a shot leaves someone’s hands, you can bet Wilkins (who landed on the March 12 Sports Illustrated cover) is jumping up to block it. It’s no surprise that he came away as this season’s ACC Defensive Player of the Year. And then there’s the improvement in Devon Hall, who himself made the All-ACC Second Team. Hall’s managing 12 points and 4.3 rebounds per game (the second-highest on the team, behind Wilkins). Not to mention that he’s shooting 45 percent from behind the arc and a stunning 89 percent from the free throw line—all massive improvements from his performance last year. So, when you look at this team’s journey, from that early loss to West Virginia to the win over Duke on the Blue Devils’ home court for the first time in 23 years, you don’t have to look much further than those players to understand where the leadership has come from. “They’ve seen the hard work that it takes to be good, the level of dedication that it takes to be good,” associate head coach Ron Sanchez says. “They’re not coming into this season with a false sense of what’s required. They’ve seen it; they’ve witnessed it; they’ve been a part of it.” That level of maturity has certainly helped lead the Cavaliers to a top spot in the rankings, but it doesn’t hurt that

here are 0.9 seconds left on the clock, and the Virginia men’s basketball team is nearing the end of what looks like its worst game of the regular season—and that includes the heartbreaking 60-61 overtime loss to Virginia Tech. They’ve consistently chopped a 13-point deficit to two in the second half, but it’s a Louisville player holding the ball on the baseline, ready for the game-ending inbound. Every Virginia basketball fan is thinking the same thing— “This is it”—as they prepare for the final second to tick away, and for the team’s first road loss of the season. But somehow—miraculously—there’s a slip of memory. A few footfalls later, the ref blows his whistle for illegal movement with the ball. Possession changes hands. There’s a scanning of the court by Virginia’s Ty Jerome, a shuffling of feet, a hard pass to the three-point line and a turn-and-shoot. That’s all there’s time for—and it’s enough. Because it wasn’t just any player shooting that three: It was De’Andre Hunter—the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year. The same player who scored 10 points on March 10—eight of them from the free throw line—to lift Virginia to its third ACC title in program history, beating North Carolina 71-63. “There are teams that have more individually talented players than Virginia, but I don’t think you could find a team in the country that plays as a team better than Virginia,” says Allison Williams, a sideline reporter for ESPN.
Coach Tony Bennett was named ACC Coach of the Year for the third time after the team won the outright ACC regular-season title.

2017-2018: 47% field goals, 45% three-point shots, 89% free throws, 4.3 rebounds, 12 points per game 2016-2017: 41% field goals, 37% three-point shots, 78% free throws, 4.4 rebounds, 8.4 points per game
Isaiah Wilkins, forward 2017-2018: 49% field goals, 6.3 rebounds, 5.9 points per game, 1.5 blocks per game 2016-2017: 56% field goals, 6 rebounds, 6.8 points per game, 1.3 blocks per game
the players remain coolly unconcerned with what redshirt junior Jack Salt calls “the media stuff.” “It’s definitely still a good feeling for us and for the fans, but hopefully we just keep it going and take each game by itself,” Salt says, noting that their ranking in the AP Top 25 “doesn’t really matter” to the team.
Answering the questions
2017-2018: 65% field goals, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 points per game, .7 blocks per game 2016-2017: 56% field goals, 4.1 rebounds, 3.7 points per game, .7 blocks per game
Virginia’s upperclassmen aren’t the only players who have led the team this year. “The way [Hunter] plays on the defensive end is so pivotal for them,” Williams says. “When you can provide a spark off the bench offensively, that’s tremendous. But he does it on both ends. That’s what’s really impressive to me.”
2017-2018: 49% field
goals, 38% three-point shots, 76% free throws, 3.5 rebounds, 9.2 points per game
And Hunter isn’t the only player who surprised fans this season. Sophomores Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome, Virginia’s top guards this year (who made the All-ACC First and Third Team, respectively), have stepped into longer minutes and higher box scores. Jerome, who averaged 4.3 points per game last season, is now putting up 10.5. And Guy has also doubled his production—from 7.5 points per game last year to 14.1. “Ty Jerome has made so many big shots for them, and it doesn’t seem like any moment is too big,” Greenberg says, noting his pace and size (6'4", 175 pounds) and how well Jerome’s learned Virginia’s noted pack line defense. That’s not a coincidence. According to Sanchez, Bennett explicitly told Jerome and Guy that in order for the team to get better, they had to improve individually, something they “took to heart” in the offseason. Those improvements have let Bennett play the same starting five (Hall, Salt, Wilkins, Guy and Jerome) for every game in the regular season (except Senior Night)—an unusual occurrence at any school. “They’re the only power-five team in the country who’s played the same starting lineup in every game,” Mike Barber, a sports writer at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, says. “That’s unheard of. They’ve played their five oldest guys, they’ve had De’Andre as their sixth man off the bench, and I think that’s a big part of why they’re winning the ACC.” And although you can’t narrow their success down to one or two things, Williams says it’s hard to imagine where they’d be without most-improved Jerome and Guy. “You could see their potential and now that potential is producing,” Williams says. “They were the question marks, and they’ve been the answer for Virginia.” It’s a level of consistency not many were expecting from Virginia this year, in what Barber calls “the best league in the country.” But the question remains: Is it enough to go far in the NCAA tournament?

“But experience is not 100 percent bought into their role and the good of the group. That’s not Virginia basketball.” He’s not wrong—Virginia has never been a team that relies solely on one or two star players. Every once in a while, a Brogdon or an Anderson comes along to shoulder the offensive weight, but there’s always been more of an equitable distribution. If Tony Bennett is known for one thing, it’s the skill with which he and the rest of his coaching staff manage to take a mid-level recruit and get high-level results. But the rest of college basketball didn’t see it that way. Or, at least, not until Virginia had clawed its way to nine conference road wins, a regular season title and an ACC tournament trophy. “There was no talk about potentially winning the ACC,” says ESPN sports writer Andrea Adelson, in regards to the ACC media day back in October when Virginia was predicted to finish sixth in the conference. “So, I think to see where this team is right now and how far they’ve come is a tribute to not only the leadership, but the belief in the system, and the veterans on this team—players like Isaiah—that know what it takes to win.”
“You had question marks,” Sanchez admits, when he’s asked about this year’s London Perrantes-less team. “As far as how much you could get from the young guys, especially if it was their first year. But you had a calming sense about you because you knew you had guys like Devon Hall and Isaiah Wilkins, who have been around.” Perrantes was more than just a point guard, though. A starter since his freshman season, he was a guiding hand and—perhaps most importantly—a calming force for the team. He knew exactly what to do when the team wasn’t playing at the right tempo or got stuck in a rut. In his last season, he started every single game, scored an average of 12.7 points, and shot 37 percent from the three-point line. And this team didn’t just lose Perrantes. It lost Marial Shayok and Darius Thompson, both of whom would have been senior guards this year. Neither of them were star players—they didn’t start every game—but both provided some much-needed points off the bench; points that have conveniently been picked up this season by Hunter and Nigel Johnson. “You lose some experience in Marial ShaSenior point guard London yok and Darius Thompson, there’s no doubt Perrantes scored an average 12.7 about it,” says ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg. points per game last season.

COACH’S PICK
“I think the Florida State game is one that stands out. When things aren’t going well, it tests your abilities and your level of commitment. That game we didn’t start off as well as we wanted to and then we were able to turn it around against a talented, talented athletic team. I think that game spoke highly of the character of the team.”—ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH RON SANCHEZ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21
Learning how to dance
“There are teams that have more individually talented players than Virginia, but I don’t think you could find a team in the country that plays as a team better than Virginia.” ALLISON WILLIAMS, ESPN SIDELINE REPORTER
Some things in college basketball just don’t go together: Tony Bennett and a frown, Bob Huggins and a suit and—more importantly—the Duke Blue Devils and losing. Or, we should specify, the Duke Blue Devils and losing at home. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget that,” junior Jack Salt says of the game back in January. It was his first time playing at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The last time he was there he was still a redshirt freshman, watching his teammates from the bench. “It was definitely a hostile environment and a really good feeling to get the win coming out of that arena.” Even that’s putting it mildly. Playing against Duke at home isn’t just playing in a hostile environment. It’s playing against a top-tier college basketball club that ended the season second in the ACC, with a 26-7 record (13-5 in the ACC), and was only held back form the ACC tournament final by a five-point loss to rival North Carolina. “It is not easy to win at Cameron,” says ESPN sideline reporter Allison Williams, who’s watched the team firsthand this year. “If you look at Duke’s margin of victory at home this year, they’ve won every game by an average of 20 points a game in ACC play.” She pauses, and then adds: “Virginia won there.”

This season’s big win
March 14 – 20, 2018 c-ville.com
“When they didn’t make that Final Four, it kind of felt like a window was shutting,” Barber says, of the 2016 tournament when No. 1 seed Virginia fell unexpectedly to 10th-seeded Syracuse in the Elite Eight. But it wasn’t just 2016. It was also 2015, when as a two seed the Cavs fell to seventh-seeded Michigan State. And again in 2014, when the No. 1 seeded UVA fell to fourth-seeded Michigan State. “I think it gets to a point where it becomes mental,” ESPN’s Adelson says about some of Virginia’s disappointing tournament runs. “For them, a lot of it is going to be forgetting about that, forgetting what’s happened in the past, forgetting the fact that people now have this idea that ‘we can’t take them seriously once the tournament starts.’” But you can’t talk about March without talking about weaknesses—and Virginia’s biggest sore spot is a lack of interior scoring. Center Salt and forwards Wilkins and Mamadi Diakite—the three players most often responsible for those easy, under-the-basket buckets—aren’t exactly the most productive on offense. They know how to protect the rim, they rack up blocks and rebounds, but
together they average only 14.7 points per game, which puts a lot of pressure on Jerome, Guy and Hall to pick up the offensive slack. “If Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy have a bad scoring night, I don’t know how this team scores enough to win tournament games,” Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch says bluntly. But even so, he points out that every team’s missing something. “Why not be the team that makes the run?” Virginia certainly wants to be that team, but they’re not going to change much to get there. Not because they don’t care, but because they approach every game the same way: with a clean slate, a tough focus on defense and efficiency on offense. “Our approach to the tournament is going to be the same as it was for the first game of the season,” Sanchez says, laughing slightly that he can’t give a more “dynamic” answer. “To say, ‘If we do this, we can get there,’ that’s incorrect. Who you play, when you play them, how healthy you are—all those things are important. We’ll try to focus on controlling the things that we can control and that’s really it.” And when it comes to the madness, everyone knows there aren’t many things you can control. “It’s hard to get to the Final Four,” Greenberg says. “Everyone talks about that, but it’s just really hard to get to the Final Four.”

Touted as one of the funniest plays ever written, Noises Off follows a troupe of actors that is performing a complete flop called Nothing’s On. Viewers get backstage passes to the ridiculous antics and offstage intrigue of the players, from rehearsal to the last performance, and the cast and the director drive each other crazy throughout. Bothersome props, missed cues and dropped lines lead to lots of slamming doors, personal quarrels and catastrophic love triangles. $10-16, times vary. Four County Players, 5256 Governor Barbour St., Barboursville. (540) 832-5355.

First Aid Kit Ruins (Sony) Stockholm’s Klara and Johanna Söderberg have lived a charmed life. In 2007, Swedish state radio turned one of their demos into a summer hit. In 2008, their video of Fleet Foxes’ “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” went viral, and their 2010 debut won rave reviews—all while they were still teenagers. On Ruins, the sisters channel the sweep of the prairie (the American one), and it’s telling that their band members are named Scott, Steve and Melvin. Their backup is sympathetic but the spotlight is all the sisters’. The rub of their voices creates an intense pungency that might get old—I like Ruins best when it dials back, as on “Postcard,” an honest country song; “To Live a Life,” an arrestingly lovely lullaby afloat on glowing pedal steel; and the surprisingly wry “Hem of Her Dress.”
Belle & Sebastian How to Solve Our Human Problems (Part 3) (Matador) This is the third EP in the series, and it bears yet another corny cover of what looks like an ad for a global pen pal service: four headshots depicting “normal” people who are uniformly young, attractive and good-hu-
mored. Stuart Murdoch, who magnificently updated the British folk-rock tradition 20 years ago, has decided he’d rather be an American soft-souler, and it ain’t happening. Opening track “Poor Boy” is stillborn Hallmark-card disco, and breakup song “Too Many Tears” is neutered into something borderline cheery, the erstwhile mopey lyrics getting undercut by Murdoch’s wry “I didn’t mean to make me cry.” Fellow Glaswegian Carla Easton contributes and sings “Best Friend,” but it’s as cutesy as the rest of the record. The only outlier, “There is an Everlasting Song,” seems to be Murdoch’s bid for church bonfire immortality. A fine ambition, but geez, what happened to this band?
Shame Songs of Praise (Dead Oceans) At the other end of the affective spectrum, we have Shame’s Songs of Praise, which is also frontrunner for sarcastic album title of the year. There are awful people in the world, and frontman Charlie Steen has apparently met most of them—for the bulk of the album he plays the wounded cur in the corner, lashing out at his tormentors: “If you think I love you / You’ve got the wrong idea”; “I like you better when you’re not around”; “I’d like to pick you up / But I’d rather watch
you crawl.” You think maybe it’s him? Or is he just doing his best Mark E. Smith, as this quintet of fresh young Londoners whips up ersatz Fall grooves? Steen and the group finally let down their guard on the gorgeous closer “Angie,” with actual pathos far more affecting than all the foregoing petulance.
The Breeders All Nerve (4AD) They got the band back together! All Nerve doesn’t just feature the classic Last Splash lineup—Pod engineer Steve Albini is also on board, bringing his trademark snare thuds and overall abrasiveness. His style works best when layering an unsettling aggression on poppier songs like the title track and the Western-tinged album opener “Nervous Mary”—it just makes bassist Josephine Wiggs’ grim “MetaGoth” sound extra off-putting. But that song gives way to a pair of stunners: Kim Deal guides “Spacewoman” through various sections (yes, soft-loud-softloud) without losing momentum or tension, and “Walking With a Killer” has drums that go tumbling and a guitar that turns deliciously twangy between frantic buzzy strumming. Throw in a shambling Amon Düül II cover, and All Nerve is a more-than-worthwhile return for the sisters Deal.—Nick Rubin

O
n Charlie Shea’s first day of middle school two years ago, she received some words of wisdom from her father, Danny Shea. “My dad told me, ‘It’s going to suck. I’m just going to brief you,’” Shea remembers. In the past two years, she says she experienced “enough bad days to go around,” as well as fellow students who would say anything to make someone feel worse, good friends and “‘good friends’ in quotations.” “Society makes us feel like we need to paint this picture like we’re all perfect—perfect bodies and perfect grades,” says Shea. “We’re all wound so tight to the point that it’s stressful.” Shea found a support system through her teachers at Henley Middle School and through her love of music. She sings and plays the guitar, ukulele, piano and drums, and likes “old music” like David Bowie and Queen. She says Beyoncé—“my idol”—always lifts her up. Growing up surrounded by the “awesome, badass, fun people” in the Charlottesville music industry, Shea believes in the power of music to spread positivity. Shea’s English teacher, Elizabeth Sweatman, recently challenged her students to identify a world issue and try to do something about it. One day later, Shea knew she wanted to manage and host a concert advocating for two issues she’s always felt passionate about— suicide awareness and prevention, and removing the stigma surrounding mental illness. “I hear about [these issues] so much and see how horrible they are,” says Shea, who has seen many of her peers affected by stress, anxiety and depression. “There needs to be a call to action, to stop being so scared of it. When someone hears the scary S-word, no one wants to talk about it.” On Sunday, she takes the stage at the Southern as emcee alongside Sally Rose for the Celebrate Yourself show benefiting the Suicide Prevention Awareness and Resource Council. The council is part of Region Ten and provides suicide awareness education and training, mental health resources and other health and wellness efforts like the annual SPARC of Hope Walk/Run in October. Joining Rose and Shea in the lineup are local acts 14 Stories and Unintended Consequences, both comprised of students from Western Albemarle High School, and Nahlj Corbin and Sarah Gross, who are two soloists from the Music Resource Center. Between sets, Shea and Rose will perform together. Gross, a freshman at William Monroe High School in Greene County, plays acoustic and electric guitar, and recently performed her original song “Yellow Sweater” at the MRC’s album release party. It’s a raw, honest acoustic piece that showcases Gross’ vocals and storytelling capabilities. She is excited to perform on a stage bigger than anything she’s played on before, and to be doing so for Shea’s cause. “I personally have known friends with depression and anxiety, and wouldn’t want anyone in that situation to not have access to help when they need it,” says Gross. Shea’s father says the experience of coordinating an entire show has been empowering for his daughter. As a talent buyer for Starr Hill Presents and Red Light Management, Danny Shea didn’t want to make the experience easy for her.
Charlie Shea, 13, is an eighth-grader at Henley Middle School. For an English project, she’s organizing Celebrate Yourself at the Southern on March 18 to benefit the Suicide Prevention Awareness and Resource Council.
“If we [at the Southern] do anything, it has to be viable. It’s the same for anyone that pitches a show,” Danny says. “We want to do something that reinforces the fabric of what is good about our community.” Lori Wood, Region Ten’s Director of Prevention, Outpatient and Crisis Services for Youth, calls Shea a “go-getter.” “When I heard about [her], I was like, ‘Wow, look at this!’” Wood remembers. She’s grateful to collaborate with students like Shea in city and county schools to increase access to mental health resources, legislation and training. It’s that wow factor that has brought Shea the most joy throughout her project. “I love seeing people’s reactions,” says Shea. “They’re like, ‘What? You’re putting together a concert? You’re 13. How can you do that? Something’s not right here. You’re a child.’”
PEER SUPPORT The National Institute of Mental Health offers the following steps you can take when someone is contemplating suicide. Ask them: “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” It’s not an easy question but studies show that asking at-risk individuals does not increase suicides. Keep them safe: Reducing access to highly lethal items or places is an important part of suicide prevention. Be there: Listen carefully and learn what the individual is thinking and feeling. Help them connect: Save the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s number in your phone so it’s there when you need it: 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Stay connected: Staying in touch after a crisis or after being discharged from care can make a difference.

Let it fly By Anita Overcash arts@c-ville.com
W
ho really needs an opening act when you have alter egos, right? For the Chapel Hillbased band Southern Culture on the Skids, this was a question well explored in the late ’80s when the group found itself without the funds to pay an opener. With their instruments by their side, they flip-flopped into The Pinecones, a laid-back, acoustic folk-rock cohort, before exiting the stage and returning as Southern Culture on the Skids, the dolled-up rockabilly shebang. SCOTS frontman Rick Miller remembers raising some eyebrows. “We’d get stuff like, ‘Wait a minute, didn’t you guys just play?’ or ‘Were you guys related to that opening band?’” The trio, featuring Dave Hartman on drums, Mary Huff on bass and vocals and Miller on guitar and lead vocals, revisits that ’80s alter ego on its new album, The Electric Pinecones. The record incorporates some of the old Pinecones band vibes into current SCOTS-esque electric rockabilly, surf-rock and Americana elements. “I think we explored a more folky side of what we do with some melodies that were a little bit different for us, but there’s still a lot of variety on it,” says Miller. “We stepped back a little bit from trying to be more hu-
morous, but I wouldn’t say we’re serious.” Miller notes that there are fewer songs about food, though a track titled “Rice and Beans” does appear. Heavily influenced by his upbringing in the South and frequent trips to New Orleans on SCOTS tours, Miller leads the bluesy, swamp-like honky-tonk twang that makes its way on the album. He moved from North Carolina to California when he was 12 years old and returned to the Carolinas for graduate school, which was when SCOTS formed. “I think moving away helped to give me a different perspective,” says Miller. The Electric Pinecones album starts out with “Freak Flag,” a surfy pop anthem that stresses the importance of loving who you are. Miller says that song was influenced by his son. “If you’re honest with yourself and you’re who you are, you’ll be happy,” he says. “Freak Flag” has turned out to be one of the band’s more popular tracks, with help from “Little Steven’s Underground Garage,” a syndicated radio show hosted by Steven Van Zandt (guitarist for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band). It even earned the program’s weekly honor of Coolest Song in the World. Miller believes that the band’s next album may have a similar feel to The Electric Pinecones. “I had a lot semi-finished songs that I didn’t get onto that record,” he says. “This has been a really good thing for the band

creatively, by being able to step away from SCOTS and move in a different direction.” Though SCOTS has earned ample success on Americana charts, the journey hasn’t been easy. Miller reminisces about living in vans and sleeping on a lot of floors. “It took us 10 years before getting signed to a major label where we got a little bit of a bump in our career,” says Miller. The band
has been on independent labels since its stint with Geffen in the late ’90s. But despite a rotation of band members in the group’s early years, it’s triumphed in its longevity as a trio. “Sometimes I tell people that the secret to our success is the lack of,” says Miller. “We never got to that point where egos and big money decisions got in the way of us being ourselves, being friends and making music.”
“We stepped back a little bit from trying to be more humorous, but I wouldn’t say we’re serious.” RICK MILLER
THE WORKS
See Patricia Asuncion with the Persister Poets & Other Nasty Women on March 17 at The Bridge PAI.
The event’s other poets include Amelia Williams, who encapsulates her poetry in eco-friendly art installations on land threatened by the Atlantic Coast Pipeline; Cynthia Atkins, a professor and Pushcart Prize nominee who writes about mental health, among other issues; and Mary Carroll-Hackett, also a professor, whose “spin on women’s issues from a Southern poverty perspective...blew me away,” says the organizer. Asuncion will share work that includes a poetic overview of the history of the women’s movement. Throughout her life, Asuncion has seen the written word as a tool for freedom. “I grew up in inner city Chicago, and I was the only one in my family to finish high school, let alone college,” she says. “I grew up with seven boy cousins and they were sucked into the gangs, etc., but public education was my ticket out of the city.” Beyond writing, her passion lies with diversity. “I’ve always had a special place for street kids because I was one,” she says. And she points out, “Women’s issues are also an issue of diversity. It’s all related: poverty, second-rate, second-class citizens, immigrants. Through events like Persister Poets, Asuncion hopes to create a sense of place for others. “My hope for women is that they will feel safe among this sea of sisters to speak up, and to take a stand, and not take a backseat to things that are concerning them,” she says. “For the general population, I want them to hear women. What they say has importance. What they say should be listened to. And actions should be taken towards equality, once and for all.”—Elizabeth Derby

the Charlottesville Women’s Choir, a talk with transgender activist Mia Mason and a menstruation celebration, spanning mediums as diverse as the participants themselves. When she put out the call for participants, Asuncion heard from Courtney LeBlanc, a fellow contributor to Nasty Women Poets: An Unapologetic Anthology of Subversive Verse. It sparked an idea—and LeBlanc became the first poet to headline a mid-month poetry reading, Persister Poets & Other Nasty Women.
@artscville
When writer and Charlottesville resident Patricia Asuncion took to the streets of Washington, D.C., during the 2017 Women’s March, her protest felt eerily familiar. “When I was first divorced in the 1970s, I had no credit. I had no bank accounts. I had nothing in my name. I didn’t even have the first name Patricia. I was Mrs. John Doe,” says Asuncion. “It took me a long time to recover from that. Fifty-plus years later, things are still the same.” She cites a study where, she says, the majority of women polled felt “they needed to have their husband’s last name in marriage as a display of love and devotion and submission,” says Asuncion. “I was flabbergasted.” A poet and short story author whose work has appeared in the New York Times, vox poetica and elsewhere, Asuncion says, the term ‘nasty woman’ is a reclamation of her right to be here. “I don’t care what the name is,” she says. “Call me nasty. Call me something worse than that. I am going to speak up and I’m going to insist that I have a place, and it’s on equal footing with men in the United States or anywhere else.” With so many women running for office in 2018, Asuncion says she feels “a bit more hopeful our voice is going to count.” That hope sparked her desire to make a space for more women’s voices in Charlottesville, and it culminated in a series at The Bridge PAI, where Asuncion is a board member. The events coincide with Women’s History Month and feature performances by an all-female improv troupe and

A
tale of science and psychology, A Wrinkle in Time imagines a scenario in which the universe wants those living within it to feel connected to themselves and everyone around them, and that the demons of depression and selfdoubt are due to a great cosmic evil. Fifty years after it was first published, Madeleine L’Engle’s novel continues to inspire readers young and old with its imagination, concern for the human condition and limitless hope and empathy for all living things. Ava DuVernay’s film adaptation is also something of a miracle, as it manages to craft a straightforward narrative and visuals from a novel filled with descriptions of places and events that by their very design defy human comprehension. DuVernay boils the story down to its most essential components, aware that the film’s audience would be a mix of those who know the book by heart and those who have never read it but are old enough to understand Meg’s journey. It’s a winning strategy: When it shines, it’s arresting visually and emotionally. When it, well, doesn’t, it races along to get to the important parts, sometimes leaving a trail of confusing story points and a glaring lack of useful exposition, which can be quickly forgiven when it all comes back around to the good stuff. Our story centers on the Murrys, a tightknit family where the parents (Chris Pine,
Gugu Mbatha-Raw) are cutting-edge scientists and the children (Storm Reid, Deric McCabe) are up-and-coming prodigies. Alex (Pine) and Kate (Mbatha-Raw) are as passionate about their work as they are about one another and their family—which is all thrown into chaos when he mysteriously disappears without a trace. The once-inquisitive Meg (Reid), now an adolescent, withdraws from school and life, fending off bullies who torment her younger brother, Charles Wallace (McCabe), while absorbing every negative opinion about herself. One day, she, Charles Wallace and schoolmate Calvin (Levi Miller) are visited by mysterious beings (Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon) who bring news that Alex is not dead and has not run away, but that his research on instantaneous travel caused him to become lost somewhere in the universe, and it is up to them to find him—even if it means heading directly into a realm of pure evil known simply as the It, which is the cause of all hate, doubt and emotional disconnect. Taken at face value, there are aspects of A Wrinkle in Time that adhere to the Young
Ava DuVernay taps into the spirit of the source material while improving on the tropes we’ve come to expect from teenoriented entertainment.
Adult movie template: awkward preteen flirtation placed at the center of an elaborate science fiction story wherein the fate of the planet/universe rests on the lead characters’ ability to conquer their doubts and embrace the true power that was there all along. The main difference is that lore takes a backseat to emotions in Meg’s tale. How the
A Wrinkle in Time PG, 115 minutes; Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX, Violet Crown Cinema universe came to be this way is not nearly as important as the fact that it simply is, and growing up is, in part, learning to navigate that while never giving up on yourself. DuVernay taps into the spirit of the source material while improving on the tropes we’ve come to expect from teen-oriented entertainment, delivering a cathartic and optimistic parable about a time in everyone’s life when negativity first infiltrates your psyche, and you must choose between two paths: to grow into a better person through honesty and emotional toil, or allow the muck to cement around you and define the rest of your life. A Wrinkle in Time is not the best possible film it could have been in terms of pacing, but the performances, visuals and compassion for its characters and viewers make it very much worth your while.

Bellair Farm
March 14 – 20, 2018 c-ville.com
o-may-toes. To-mah-toes. ’Maters. No matter what you call them, if you want to be slicing into the freshest ones around come summer, you’ll want to sign up to participate in community-shared agriculture. And now’s the time to do so. The community-shared agriculture (or CSA) model of farming, which developed in North America in the 1980s, is fairly simple: Community members buy in to a farm and pay in advance, which funds the farm upfront during the seed-buying-and-planting season. As crops are harvested, community members receive their prepaid share of them throughout the growing season. Both farmer and consumer reap many benefits from this model says Jamie Barrett, farmer at Charlottesville’s Bellair Farm. It’s a guaranteed source of income for farmers and a guaranteed source of food for the consumer, and by eliminating the middleman of the market, a CSA typically means lower prices for the consumer and more money in the pocket of the farmer, says Barrett. A number of local farms offer CSA programs, and with more than 700 shares up for grabs between them, there are plenty of opportunities to join. Shares can be hefty, so consider your family size and veggie consumption habits when signing up, and go halvsies with a friend if you need to.
Pro tip: Atelier Farm works a bit differently than other CSAs in the area. Members pay by family size, then come to the farm and pick whatever vegetables, herbs and flowers they need. Farmer-owner Austin Mandryk promises some not-so-common CSA items like corn and edamame, and more than 100 different varieties of tomatoes in the summer.

T
wo of Tavola’s bartenders are shaking up national drinks-related competitions. Bar manager Steve Yang was named one of 12 regional finalists in the United States Bartenders’ Guild’s annual World Class bartending competition. “Qualifying is both humbling and terrifying,” Yang says of going shaker-to-shaker with some of the best bartenders in the country. An expert panel reviewed applicants’ essays and replicated their cocktail recipes. Yang submitted the Inquisitions, which is made up of Bulleit Rye Whiskey, Cynar, Cocchi di Torino, Benedictine, Angostura orange bitters and a rinse of Caol Ila 12 Scotch Whisky. The regional finalists compete on May 7 in Washington, D.C., and three national finalists will move on to compete for the title of U.S. Bartender of the Year. Assistant bar manager Rebecca Edwards will participate in the Speed Rack Mid Atlantic regional on March 19 at Union Stage in Washington, D.C. Speed Rack is a national, women-only speed bartending competition that spotlights female mixologists who work in a male-dominated field, all while raising money for breast cancer research, education and prevention. The lengthy application process included essays and even a video component, but Edwards’ reason for wanting to compete is simple: “I’m passionate about any event that increases the visibility of women in the restaurant industry,” she says. There are four rounds total: The first round focuses on speed alone, and the eight fastest bartenders proceed to round two, where they’re judged on speed, technique and overall skill. Edwards says that there’s a list of “roughly 100” cocktails that Speed Rack competitors are urged to know, so she’s been preparing with a series of flashcards and some help from her colleagues. “Busy Friday nights at Tavola are good practice, too,” she adds.
Little Star shines bright

“I’m passionate about any event that increases the visibility of women in the restaurant industry.” REBECCA EDWARDS
The Oakhart Social duo of chef Tristan Wraight and general manager Ben Clore are teaming up with chef Ryan Collins of Early Mountain Vineyards to bring Little Star, a new restaurant, to the space most recently occupied by Three Penny Café. The three showcased a sneak peek of the dishes-yetto-come in a two-evening pop-up at Oakhart February 27 and 28. On the menu: tuna ceviche with kumquat, coconut leche de tigre, almonds, serrano peppers, cilantro and toasted amaranth; dry aged ribeye carpac-
cio with grilled cactus, Parmesan, chive blossoms and migas; the deceivingly simple-sounding sunny side up eggs with salsa negra green onion, cilantro, sesame seeds, hickory syrup and grilled bread; wood roasted lamb neck with braised cabbage, guajillo chile broth and hominy corn; and soft and crispy pork ribs with salsa naranja, white onion, epazote and crispy ancho chile. The Pen + Knife blog team shares a dispatch from the popup that declares if “you don’t like ceviche, this dish will be your religious conversion.” That’s enough to pique our interest—more details to come on opening day, likely in the summertime.
Our cups runneth over The winners of the 2018 Virginia Wineries Association’s Governor’s Cup were announced in late February. Of the 442 Virginia wines that a group of world-class judges sampled from 100 Virginia wineries, just 12 wines—the highest-ranking reds and the highest-ranking whites—make up the Governor’s Case. Local wines from Barboursville Vineyards, Early Mountain Vineyards, Jefferson Vineyards, Keswick Vineyards, Veritas Vineyard & Winery and King Family Vineyards hold seven of those 12 spots, with King Family Vineyards’ 2014 Meritage taking top honors overall. All wines entered in the competition were made from 100 percent Virginia fruit.—C-VILLE’s At the Table columnist C. Simon Davidson and writers from the Pen + Knife blog contributed to this column.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
By Rob Brezsny
Aries (March 21-April 19): The British science fiction TV show “Dr. Who” has appeared on BBC in 40 of the last 54 years. Over that span, the titular character has been played by 13 different actors. From 2005 until 2010, Aries actor David Tennant was the magic, immortal, time-traveling Dr. Who. His ascendance to the role fulfilled a hopeful prophecy he had made about himself when he was 13 years old. Now is an excellent time for you, too, to predict a glorious, satisfying or successful occurrence in your own future. Think big and beautiful!
Taurus (April 20-May 20): New York City is the most densely populated city in North America. Its land is among the most expensive on Earth; one estimate says the average price per acre is $16 million. Yet there are two uninhabited islands less than a mile offshore in the East River: North Brother Island and South Brother Island. Their combined 16 acres are theoretically worth $256 million. But no one goes there or enjoys it; it’s not even parkland. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect it’s an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life: a potentially rich resource or influence that you’re not using. Now is a good time to update your relationship with it.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): The iconic 1942 movie Casablanca won three Academy Awards and has often appeared on critics’ lists of the greatest films ever made. That’s amazing considering the fact that the production was so hectic. When shooting started, the script was incomplete. The writing team frequently presented the finished version of each new scene on the day it was to be filmed. Neither the director nor the actors knew how the plot would resolve until the end of the process. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because it reminds me of a project you have been working on. I suggest you start improvising less and planning more. How do you want this phase of your life to climax?
Cancer
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Although her work is among the best Russian literature of the 20th century, poet Marina Tsvetaeva lived in poverty. When fellow poet Rainer Maria Rilke asked her to describe the kingdom of heaven, she said, “Never again to sweep floors.” I can relate. To earn a living in my early adulthood, I washed tens of thousands of dishes in restaurant kitchens. Now that I’m grown up, one of my great joys is to avoid washing dishes. I invite you to think along these lines, Pisces. What seemingly minor improvements in your life are actually huge triumphs that evoke profound satisfaction? Take inventory of small pleasures that are really quite miraculous.
come to pass, you will refine your ability to share your tender depths with worthy allies— and you will refine your understanding of when to not share your tender depths with worthy allies. Finally, Cancerian, if you are as smart as I think you are, you will have a sixth sense about how to receive as many blessings as you disseminate.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): How adept are you at playing along the boundaries between the dark and the light, between confounding dreams and liberated joy, between “Is it real?” and “Do I need it?” You now have an excellent opportunity to find out more about your capacity to thrive on delightful complexity. But I should warn you: The temptation to prematurely simplify things might be hard to resist. There may be cautious pressure coming from a timid voice in your head that’s not fierce enough to want you to grow into your best and biggest self. But here’s what I predict: You will bravely explore the possibilities for self-transformation that are available outside the predictable niches.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Cultivating a robust sense of humor makes you more attractive to people you want to be attractive to. An inclination to be fun-loving is another endearing quality that’s worthy of being part of your intimate repertoire. There’s a third virtue related to these two: playfulness. Many humans of all genders are drawn to those who display joking, lighthearted behavior. I hope you will make maximum use of these qualities during the coming weeks, Virgo. You have a cosmic mandate to be as alluring and inviting as you dare.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suggest you gaze at exquisitely wrought Japanese woodcuts...
Cool
and listen to jazz trumpeter Miles Davis collaborating with saxophonist John Coltrane...and inhale the aroma of the earth as you stroll through groves of very old trees. Catch my drift, Libra? Surround yourself with soulful beauty—or else! Or else what? Or else I’ll be sad. Or else you might be susceptible to buying into the demoralizing thoughts that people around you are propagating. Or else you may become blind to the subtle miracles that are unfolding, and fail to love them well enough to coax them into their fullest ripening. Now get out there and hunt for soulful beauty that awakens your deepest reverence for life. Feeling awe is a necessity for you right now, not a luxury.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the Sikh religion, devotees are urged to attack weakness and sin with five “spiritual weapons”: contentment, charity, kindness, positive energy and humility. Even if you’re not a Sikh, I think you’ll be wise to employ this strategy in the next two weeks. Why? Because your instinctual nature will be overflowing with martial force, and you’ll have to work hard to channel it constructively rather than destructively. The best way to do that is to be a vehement perpetrator of benevolence and healing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1970, a biologist was hiking through a Brazilian forest when a small monkey landed on his head, having jumped from a tree branch. Adelmar Coimbra-Filho was ecstatic. He realized that his visitor was a member of the species known as the golden-rumped lion tamarin, which had been regarded as extinct for 65 years. His lucky accident led to a renewed search for the elusive creatures, and soon, more were discovered. I foresee a metaphorically
comparable experience coming your way, Sagittarius. A resource or influence or marvel you assumed was gone will reappear. How will you respond? With alacrity, I hope!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Velcro fastener is a handy invention that came into the world thanks to a Swiss engineer named George de Mestral. While wandering around the Alps with his dog, he got curious about the bristly seeds of the burdock plants that adhered to his pants and his dog. After examining them under a microscope, he got the idea to create a clothing fastener that imitated their sticking mechanism. In accordance with the astrological omens, Capricorn, I invite you to be alert for comparable breakthroughs. Be receptive to help that comes in unexpected ways. Study your environment for potentially useful clues and tips. Turn the whole world into your classroom and laboratory. It’s impossible to predict where and when you may receive a solution to a long-running dilemma!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed to the top of Mount Everest. They were celebrated as intrepid heroes, but they couldn’t have done it without massive support. Their expedition was powered by 20 Sherpa guides, 13 other mountaineers and 362 porters who lugged 10,000 pounds of baggage. I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, in the hope that it will inspire you. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to gather more of the human resources and raw materials you will need for your rousing expedition later this year.
