Light Therapy Center – Easy Weight Loss using UltraSlim Red Light Therapy Our UltraSlim’s red LED lights get the fat cell to open a temporary pore in its cell membrane. Fat is released, processed by the liver, excreted, and gone forever. Clients generally keep 90% of their weight loss off 1 year later. The 40 minute weekly treatments quickly reduce the waist and hip measurements. Having a 6 treatment series produces a clinically significant fat loss. 1 pound of fat has 1 mile of blood vessels. Losing fat reduces the amount of blood and blood vessels and thus heart health is improved. Foot circulation usually increases. With less fat and weight, back pain and medication usage is often much less. Our 40 minute facials help create collagen and elastin to tighten skin and smooth out wrinkles. Facials reduce double chins and neck fat. Red light treats superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions so the skin has a more even tone. Clients say they look 5-10 years younger. Treatments are very relaxing. There’s no diet, exercise, drugs,downtime, pain, side effects, or long term contracts. We offer office and home treatments. Host your friends for red light treatments in your home and your treatment will be 50% off. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. 400 UltraSlim units are in use. We now have a second UltraSlim!

While I appreciate your edit of the online [headline] for the “New Look: Former asylum turned luxury inn” [June 27-July 3], the use of the term “loony bin” initially showed an incredible lack of sophistication. People throughout this country are working daily to tear down the stigma surrounding mental illness. Use of that language perpetuates every false narrative that exists about people who live with a mental health diagnosis. For almost 18 years I have considered C-VILLE as a model of urban, hip, chic, journalism, and I am unbelievably disappointed. In the news business, you should understand more than anyone that word choice matters. I hope in the future you choose to speak about mental health treatment and diagnoses from a more informed perspective. Creigh Deeds Senator, 25th District Millboro I am writing to express my concern with the revolting and disgusting headline on page 14 of the June 27-July 3 issue of your publication. “Loony bin turned luxury inn” may be catchy, but it is truly insulting to those who suffer from the brain disorder known as mental illness. They deserve as much respect as those with any other chronic physical ailment. Yes, mental illness is a physical disorder, treated with medication and therapy. It is not acceptable in the 21st century to continue stereotypes relating to this illness, and I cannot sit back and let headlines such as this continue to use inflammatory and discriminatory language. Let’s stop using stigma-inducing language and learn more about ending the stigma and silence associated with these brain disorders at the National Alliance on Mental Illness web site, www.NAMI.org.

I’m grateful you marked the anniversary of August 12 by celebrating the influence of local clergy [“Telling the lion’s story,” August 8-14]. While I think your headline that “faith and social justice are one and the same” is an oversimplification, I have no doubt that what faith receives and reveals about the good, the true, and the beautiful should shine most brilliantly when times are darkest. Thank you for telling these stories of little lights shining in big ways.

IN BRIEF Anthem returns
After dumping the Charlottesville area individual marketplace last year and leaving Optima as the area’s sole insurance provider, Anthem says it’s re-entering the market here and in 41 other Virginia localities in 2019. And in related news, Charlottesville couple Steve Vondra and Bonnie Morgan joined a federal lawsuit filed by Chicago and other cities suing President Donald Trump and his administration for intentionally and unlawfully sabotaging the Affordable Care Act.
Foxfield feud Plaintiffs challenging the Foxfield Racing Association’s plan to sell the 179-acre Marianna de Tejeda property, bequeathed to perpetuate horse racing in Albemarle, were in court August 17. They were represented by William Hurd, the same attorney who thwarted plans to close Sweet Briar College. The judge will issue her ruling August 28.

New Hoos Though the majority of the University of Virginia’s Class of 2022 will consist of white girls from right here in the Old Dominion, it’ll be the most diverse class in UVA’s history. Along with “record high” racial diversity at 34 percent— or 1,294 minority students compared to 1,247 last year— the university is also “particularly pleased” that 11 percent of the incoming class are first-generation college students, said UVA spokesperson Wes Hester.

Pipeline halt A federal appeals court nullified two permits for Dominion Energy’s $6 billion, 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which has temporarily ceased construction. One of the authorizations that judges with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out was a right-ofway permit for the pipeline to run underneath the Blue Ridge Parkway.
With a handful of UVA colleagues sitting in the courtroom, film studies professor Walter Korte, 74, was sentenced to five years in prison with all but 12 months suspended after pleading guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography. Korte was busted in August 2016 when he was spotted dumping thousands of porn images in a UVA dumpster. His lawyer, Bonnie Lepold, argued that despite his predilection for pornography, the images were all “lawful pornography and erotica.” He did not engage in any inappropriate behavior with children and had no criminal record, she said, and in the two years since his arrest, no one came forward to allege such behavior.
“He was not a child pornographer and had no interest in that,” she said. Lepold asked that he be sentenced to the five weeks he’s already served in jail or home incarceration with electronic monitoring. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Amanda Galloway said Korte was not a threat, and she acknowledged his lack of criminal history. But she wanted a year to send a message that child porn possession will be punished regardless of one’s age or position in the community. Judge Humes Franklin added 10 year’s good behavior to Korte’s sentence, and when asked about the home incarceration, he said, “I want to sleep on it.”

Unlawful assembly
EZE AMOS
Cops call for one, change their mind at UVA
On August 11, community members protested police presence at UVA, where one university officer declared an unlawful assembly, which was quickly rescinded.
By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com
P
But Jalane Schmidt, a professor and organizer with Black Lives Matter, heard the order. “That’s why the students kind of kept the rally on the move—so it would be harder to be kettled,” says Schmidt. “If they rescinded the order, I didn’t hear it.” The Central Virginia chapter of the National Lawyers Guild has noted in a statement that “riot police inexplicably interrupted the event,” and that community members de-escalated near violence and re-established their peaceful gathering outside of a “militarized presence.” “The kids were having their say from the steps of Brooks Hall, and that probably would have been the end of it,” says Schmidt, but echoing Majuto, she says it was the “moving in of this phalanx of police in riot gear,” that got the crowd riled up. “They got their shields, they got their helmets, that’s the same force that tear gassed
us at the KKK rally last July,” says Schmidt. In July 2017, then-Charlottesville Police Captain Gary Pleasants made the call to tear gas anti-racist protesters who wouldn’t leave the High Street area surrounding Court Square Park—then known as Justice Park— after the Klan packed up and went home. The now-retired police captain has since earned the nickname Gary “You’re Damn Right I Gassed Them” Pleasants for the response he gave then-Chief Al Thomas, who was stationed at a command center and became upset when he learned Pleasants had taken it upon himself to call for tear gas. “They’re so trigger happy,” says Schmidt. “We’ve seen what one person can do.” As for the one university officer who declared an unlawful assembly and then rescinded it, Schmidt says, “That is gaslighting the community and not taking responsibility for what appears to be a mistake.”

Roberta Williamson called for police de-escalation training and offered to pay for it. “I almost want to demand this become a line item in the next city budget,” she said. Nancy Carpenter denounced the appearance of BearCats and snipers at Fourth Street on the anniversary of Heyer’s death. “How dare you do that?” she asked. “We were in mourning.” Several people complained about the presence of K9 dogs. “That’s a Bull Connor visual,” said Carpenter. Civil rights attorney Jeff Fogel excoriated the limited access to the mall and the searches to enter. “You could be stopped on the streets of your city without probable cause,” he said, calling that the “hallmark of an authoritarian” government.
Citizens voiced concern and outrage about the presence of 1,000 cops during the Unite the Right anniversary weekend.

In sharp contrast to an August 13 press conference, in which 18 officials representing public safety agencies thanked and congratulated each other for a job well done over the August 12 anniversary weekend, city councilors heard a different assessment the next night. Around three dozen citizens at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center voiced concern and outrage about the presence of 1,000 cops, often in militarized gear, as well as the lockdown of the Downtown Mall and the searches of bags before entering the mall. Several times over the weekend, including at the UVA Students United demonstration August 11 at the university’s Brooks Hall and the memorial for Heather Heyer August 12 on Fourth Street, the presence of riot-clad police threatened to set off an actual riot.

ANGER OVER HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE, DOWNTOWN LOCKDOWN

olice called unlawful assemblies last summer after the KKK rally and before the Unite the Right event began. This summer, it appeared Charlottesville had gotten through the August 12 anniversary weekend without the declaring of any unlawful assemblies—but that wasn’t the case. At the August 11 UVA rally—after students had moved their protest to Brooks Hall, away from police and the additional security measures they say were forced on them, and after riot cops started moving in—one officer, his voice blaring through a bullhorn, declared an unlawful assembly, which was rescinded within a minute. “A University Police officer on Saturday evening initially communicated to the crowd gathered near Brooks Hall that the
assembly was unlawful,” says UVA spokesperson Wes Hester. “After receiving instructions from the unified command center that an unlawful assembly would not be declared at that time, the officer communicated that to the crowd.” According to Virginia Code, an unlawful assembly is a Class 1 misdemeanor, and police may call one whenever a group of three or more people act with force or violence that is likely to jeopardize “public safety, peace, or order.” UVA did not respond to inquiries about which officer declared the unlawful assembly or what the university’s specific protocol is for declaring one. Kibiriti Majuto, a member of UVA Students United, which organized the rally, says he never heard the unlawful assembly declared. “We moved because the riot police were coming toward us,” he says.

“And then to play that game of calling it consensual,” he said, a reference to police Chief RaShall Brackney, who said the day before that all the searches of bags before coming onto the mall were “consensual.” Fogel and others questioned the declaration of a state of emergency without a factual basis of a threat. “What intelligence did the city have to shut this city down?” asked Katrina Turner, a member of the newly formed Police Civilian Review Board. “Was it shut down because of antifa?” One speaker castigated Vice-Mayor Heather Hill for thanking police, although Councilor Wes Bellamy said he appreciated Hill’s attempt to help with negotiations when officers refused to let mourners enter the mall at Fourth Street. Of the 30 plus speakers, only one said he was glad police were there, although an unexpected defender was Mayor Nikuyah Walker. “The police were rather calm,” she said. “I did not see police officers as aggressive as what I’ve seen my entire life.” And she said, “If we had similar people show up as last year, I’d want police to be there.” Several people thanked Bellamy for defusing the tense scenes at Brooks Hall and Fourth Street. He acknowledged that in some instances, a “lack of communication about what was going on” could have exacerbated the situation.
City councilors Nikuyah Walker, Heather Hill, Wes Bellamy, and Kathy Galvin—Mike Signer was on vacation—listened to citizen reaction to the August 12 anniversary weekend for almost three hours. And he also experienced the anxiety many felt seeing masses of riot-attired cops. Said Bellamy, “When I saw police marching choo choo choo, my blood pressure went up.” He explained that Sunday when police removed the barricades on Fourth Street, people moved out onto Water Street, and were upset police wouldn’t let them back in and sent them through the checkpoints. “We don’t know who was in the crowd,” he said. One thing City Council learned from last year’s violent weekend was to let people speak out about the weekend sooner rather than to wait more than a week, and the August 15 listening session was already on the calendar. And then there’s the question asked by Tyler Magill—and many others—that is still to be determined: “Where is the middle ground between last year and this?”—Lisa Provence
ust days before UVA graduation in 2010, Charlottesville—and the Washington, D.C., area—reeled with the news that fourth-year lacrosse player Yeardley Love was found dead in her apartment and her former boyfriend, George Huguely, had been charged with first-degree murder. After a two-week jury trial in 2012, Huguely was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 23 years in prison. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal in 2015, and Huguely filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in January 2016. On August 10, Judge Rick Moore denied Huguely’s petition. “Not a surprise,” says legal expert David Heilberg. “A very small percentage of habeas petitions succeed.” A writ of habeas corpus is a civil lawsuit that alleges the petitioner is being wrongfully imprisoned. It typically hinges on errors made during the trial and inadequate counsel—in this case by Fran Lawrence and Rhonda Quagliana, arguably two of Charlottesville’s top criminal defense lawyers. Huguely’s petition claims his rights to a fair trial were violated when jurors were given a dictionary during deliberation to look up the definition of “malice,” an element in a second-degree murder conviction. Voluntary and involuntary manslaughter were also options for the jury. Moore rejects the dictionary allegation from one juror because 10 others said in affidavits they had no memory of a dictionary in the jury room. “I cannot find a preponderance of evidence that the event occurred at all,” writes Moore. During the trial, witnesses testified that Huguely had been drinking all day May 2, 2010, and was staggeringly drunk when he went over to Love’s apartment, kicked in her bedroom door, and stayed around eight minutes, according to the downstairs neighbor, who heard one thump on the floor during that time. His petition claims defense attorneys botched determining his blood-alcohol level, which would have led the jury to determine Love’s death was from negligence or accidental. Moore didn’t buy that argument and called it “Monday morning quarterbacking.” He writes that it is “naive to think that when a jury hears a person had 25 to 40 beers in a relatively short period, over one day, this would produce leniency. I believe that is
sheer speculation, and contrary to common sense.” The more substantial complaint from Huguely was that Quagliana emailed one of the defense expert witnesses about a prosecution witness’ testimony. “I agree that the violation of the rule on witnesses...was deficient performance,” writes Moore. But he says he doesn’t believe that because an expert witness wasn’t allowed to testify on the effect of CPR on Love, that would have changed the outcome of the trial. And because that was the only instance he found “where trial counsels’ actions fell below the standard,” he rejects the argument that defense screw-ups accumulated enough to warrant a new trial. Says Moore, “As is commonly iterated, a defendant is entitled to a fair trial by competent counsel, not to a perfect trial by perfect counsel.” George Huguely was a lacrosse player set to graduate Lawrence and Quagliana from UVA in 2010 when he was charged with first-degree did not respond to a request murder in the death of Yeardley Love, a death he contends was accidental. for comment. Heilberg says, “What it really Huguely believed Love was alive when he comes down to in the end is Fran and Rhonleft her apartment, and during his police da are great lawyers and the only ding is in interview, he repeatedly expressed disbelief talking to a witness.” upon being told Love was dead, says the Huguely was scheduled for an evidenpetition.

Anti-racists speak out During the week leading up to the August 11 and 12 anniversary, local anti-racist groups hosted a series of events, including panels on their use of in-your-face tactics and why they believe the First Amendment should not apply to white supremacists.

And he listed the UVA law school, which allowed Kessler to be there twice, while arresting an activist “for merely sitting in the office with him.” Coughlin, who said she has colleagues who say student “snowflakes” are trying to silence free speech, called “completely false” the notion of a “presupposed golden age of free speech and the sharing of ideas freely” when women and African Americans were excluded from law schools.
The decisions that came out of the Warren U.S. Supreme Court were to protect civil rights organizers, union organizers and Communists, he says. “Later on the KKK and Nazis latched on to that.” How Kessler could get a permit for the Unite the Right rally last year was a question from the audience. In federal court, the basis the city gave for moving the rally was the number of people anticipated for then-Emancipation Park, said Rolla. Rolla pointed out that then-mayor Mike Signer told ProPublica on Frontline’s “Documenting Hate: Charlottesville” that the city had no knowledge there would be any violence. Rolla called that “astounding” and said, “People stood in front of City Council” with information of the violent intentions of rally-goers, and there should have been prior restraint based on the threat of violence.—Lisa Provence

modate mental and physical handicaps. Anna, a disabled activist, said, “Feeding the homeless is an act of protest to food injustice.” Panelists endorsed controversial tactics for combating white supremacy, such as denying public figures they associate with fascism a platform and accosting them when they go out in public, an approach that has been used against several White House officials—and Jason Kessler. Woolfork discouraged arguing with bigots, though other panelists adjusted this stance when someone asked what to do if the bigot is a family member. Struggling through tears, an audience member recalled contentious disputes with her parents, who voted for Donald Trump. Caine-Conley said as a queer woman with family members who do not accept her, she has found it helpful to tell them stories about her activism. “It causes cognitive dissonance…because I am involved,” she said. Panelists reiterated the need people to participate in demonstrations, citing the successful push to ban Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler from UVA. “The arc of justice doesn’t bend naturally,” Han said, “it bends when people push on it.” Many activists agreed that the biggest threat for the August 12 weekend didn’t come from neo-Nazis. At the #ResilientCville town hall a few weeks ago, several audience members expressed concerns about police overcompensating to make up for last year’s failures. Woolfork echoed these concerns, warning that, if this is the case, “black people will bear the brunt.”—Jonathan Haynes

UVA religious studies professor Jalane Schmidt opened the August 7 Black Lives Matter event with a terse request: “For everyone’s safety, we’ll ask all police to leave.” The five-person “Why We Protest” panel discussion took a decidedly brasher tone than previous community events, showcasing the confrontational tactics some Charlottesville activists have embraced. In the packed Jefferson School African American Heritage Center auditorium, Showing Up for Racial Justice activist Grace Aheron moderated the panel, which included Congregate Charlottesville organizer Brittany “Smash” Caine-Conley, SURJ activist Anna, UVA English professor Lisa Woolfork and UVA Students United activist Ibby Han. In keeping with the SURJ ethos, Aheron forbade audience members from livestreaming the event. “If you want the information, you have to come, or take notes and tell everyone,” she said. Panelists prefaced the discussion by giving their preferred pronouns and tracing their paths to activism. Anna and Han got their start in campus organizations, while Woolfork was driven to protest out of a desire for “her children to inherit a world better than the one I have.” For Caine-Conley, experiencing police violence during a prayer circle at Standing Rock was the tipping point. The first question addressed a common objection to protests against white supremacy: Why don’t you just ignore them? “Apathy is not a strategy,” said Woolfork, to a roaring applause. Other panelists argued that public disruption has been an indispensable tool for thwarting the alt-right. Some on the panel adopted a more elastic definition of protest to accom-
“We have the power to change the meaning of what’s protected speech and what’s violence,” she said. White supremacists are now characterizing themselves as victims and “a minority group that’s being silenced,” said Rolla. “To say white folks are victims is really dangerous.” Trickier for the panelists was how to prevent hate speech from having First Amendment protections. “I’m hesitant to give more tools to the government to restrict speech,” said Rolla. “There’s no reason the KKK should be a legal organization in the United States,” said Doherty. “It’s a terrorist group.” He said the government outlawed the Black Panthers through FBI surveillance and infiltration. Attorney Lloyd Snook was in the audience, and he says that infiltrating the Black Panthers was not the same as passing a law, “Two of the three panelists don’t know their First Amendment history very well.”
August 22 – 28, 2018 c-ville.com
Showing Up for Racial Justice sponsored an August 8 lawyers’ panel on free speech and anti-racist work—and how “false notions” about the former “hinder” the latter. UVA law professor Anne Coughlin called the idea that there’s such a thing as legally protected free speech a “myth.” She said, “We regulate speech all the time.” Free speech gets thrown around as an absolute right, while “the protections are much narrower that people believe,” she said. Legal Aid Justice Center and National Lawyers Guild attorney Kim Rolla questioned the idea that in an unfettered marketplace of free speech, “truth will shake out.” Said Rolla, “Right now, the First Amendment is used to punish anti-racists and protect white supremacists.” SURJ organizer Ben Doherty, who works at the UVA Law Library, elaborated on that theme: July 8, 2017, when “police gave full protection” to the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and tear-gassed anti-racist activists; a federal judge allowing Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler to hold his violent rally last year “under the guise of free speech;” August 11, 2017, at UVA, when neoNazis and white supremacists carried torches through the Grounds of UVA and “formed a lynch mob” while “police were paralyzed.”

Priya Mahadevan, who leads the local chapter of Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America, says there’s no Band-Aid solution to ending gun violence, and it starts with electing representatives who will work toward it. Members wrote their senators and legislators August 13 to urge them to oppose the 3-D printing of firearms.
He goes back to the first word he used to describe that kind of “stuff,” which was “random.” “I know I can set up a boundary between myself and the other crimes—those crimes aren’t really random,” he says. “Like I know I’m not in a gang, I know I’m not involved with drug violence, so I can kind of set up a
mental boundary against the fear of something like that. But this? There’s just no way to exempt yourself from the possibility.” When he hears about more kids who died at their schools, he feels “very upset that that CONTINUED ON PAGE 27
*PROVIDED BY SCHOOL SPOKESPERSONS PHIL GIARAMITA AND KRISSY VICK
SCHOOL SECURITY SYSTEMS “Safety is always top-of-mind for school administration,” says Kim Powell, an assistant superintendent for Charlottesville City Schools. “I think what’s changed is the context we have to think about safety in.” Powell says schools are still one of the safest public places to be, and with mass media attention given to instances of school violence, “I think it changes people’s situational awareness.” Local schools use a threat assessment approach, where teachers and faculty are trained to attend to students who show higher levels of concern. “If a student is showing signs of not being comfortable or acting differently, staff are trained to reach out and find out what’s going on,” says Powell. As the administration is gearing up to go back to school, Powell says the conversations around safety have weighed heavily in three areas: processes, plans,
and procedures; climate and culture; and the physical safety of the facilities. Albemarle County Public Schools spokesperson Phil Giaramita says a new committee of students, senior staff, and community advisers will meet quarterly to evaluate safety practices and advise the county superintendent and school board. At Woodbrook Elementary School, which is under renovation, there’s an opportunity to test a new electronic entry card system for teachers and administrators. County schools will also spend $160,000 this year to expand mental health services, including a pilot program to staff a Region Ten counselor at the middle school level. That person will work through in-school and at-home issues with students. Schools can’t disclose their safety plans for obvious reasons, but many other security measures exist in Charlottesville and Albemarle County classrooms, including the following at various schools*:
County schools: ■ All classroom doors lock from the inside ■ Protective coating on door windows ■ Blinds or shades for all windows ■ Controlled entrances prevent direct access to hallways and classrooms ■ Security screening for visitors ■ Security cameras at schools and on buses ■ Safety drills ■ Armed and unarmed school resource officers
City schools: ■ Various schools have buzz-in systems at front doors ■ Interior doors route visitors through main offices ■ Security screenings for visitors ■ Threat assessment teams at all schools ■ Surveillance cameras ■ Lighting upgrades ■ All classroom doors lock from the inside ■ Safety drills ■ Armed and unarmed school resource officers

Shreya Mahadevan says she was “petrified” and her teacher was in tears when Johnson Elementary School went on lockdown last year.
even more families and individuals have been affected.” And, says 14-year-old Aidan O’Brien-Olwell, “The real fear behind this is it’s random.” He was at Buford Middle School during the lockdown that scared Shreya and her schoolmates at Johnson Elementary. The Cherry Avenue schools were the only two that battened down the hatches during that event. While he says it was “worrying,” he mostly remembers the confusion, and says he was in gym class when teachers instructed students to leave the gymnasium and hide in the locker room. The then-eighth grader says it seemed like a “weird choice. ...Why take us out of the large gym with many different entrances and exits to the cramped, small room with one entrance and one exit?” Unlike Shreya’s, his teachers shed no tears, but did appear concerned and perplexed. “They were confused, just as much as we were,” he says. O’Brien-Olwell will enter Charlottesville High School this month, but when he walked the halls of his middle school, he says safety was often on his mind. “I mean, now, you kind of have to think about it,” he adds. And while he did generally feel safe at Buford, and thinks the lockdown protocols are mostly well-designed, he adds, “There is one area that everyone worries about.” Translucent glass walls line the school’s science hallway, which O’Brien-Olwell says would make it hard to hide from someone peering in, and would be easy to break into. “You can see everywhere in the room. Students were the first to point it out, and realized this is the worst possible place to be.” In today’s climate, these are topics of casual conversation for middle schoolers. “We have had many conversations like that,” O’Brien-Olwell says, adding that the discussions are heightened in the days surrounding lockdowns and major media attention for “stuff like this.”

he lights were off and the door was locked in Shreya Mahadevan’s fourth-grade classroom at Johnson Elementary School. Small bodies huddled quietly behind a wall of backpacks—their teacher in tears. “It was really scary. Petrifying,” says the 9-year-old girl about the lockdown her school was under last October, when a man in nearby Johnson Village was on the run after a reported burglary and sexual assault. But as she huddled near the backpacks, and then ducked behind a bookshelf for cover, she didn’t know why—she just knew it felt different than the drills she’d been practicing. “It’s not scary if we’re having a drill,” says Shreya. “It just makes you feel like you know what to do when something happens.” Pausing for a moment, she corrects herself: “If something happens.” Across a small table in a Charlottesville coffee shop sits her sister, 20-year-old Samyuktha, an Albemarle High School graduate, who says young people have come to expect violent activity in schools. And they aren’t shocked anymore when it makes headlines. She refers to the May 18 shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, where a maniac with his father’s pump-action shotgun and .38-caliber revolver murdered eight students and two teachers, where he wounded 13 others, and where surviving students immediately told reporters outside the crime scene that they weren’t surprised it happened. “I think the expectation of violence has increased,” says Samyuktha, a rising senior studying international relations at the College of William & Mary, who notes increased awareness of violence in schools over the past year. And while that certainly doesn’t only equate to on-campus firearm fatalities, a quick search turns up 34 school shootings during the most recent academic year that resulted in 50 deaths and double the injuries. “At this point, it’s not shocking,” says Samyuktha. “It’s more frustrating. I mean, sadness is probably the first emotion that comes out because it’s terrible to know that

could have been anyone. I could have just been unlucky in the wrong school that day.” And while children are aware of the grim possibility, parents are perhaps even more conscious of sending their kids off to places where they know that type of violence can happen. When Priya Mahadevan waves goodbye to her daughter, Shreya, every morning, she no longer tells her to have fun at school. Now, she says she tells her to be safe. “That’s not the kind of message you want to send,” says Priya. “It was not an issue when my older daughter was going to school. We were never scared that someone was going to walk down the school corridors and shoot people up. That was never on my mind.” Now? “It has become much more of a reality for us.”
On March 14, exactly one month after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, thousands of students at area schools walked out of their classrooms to honor the 17 students and faculty who lost their lives on Valentine’s Day in Florida. They also demanded stronger gun control across the nation.

Deeds, who was stabbed in the face and chest in November 2013 by his mentally ill son, who then shot and killed himself with a shotgun, “is opposed to seeing assault weapons in the hands of people [in which] they do not belong,” says Priya. “He also said he would be willing to work with us on other legislative proposals for common sense gun laws,” she says. On July 10, a delegation of five members of the local activist group, including Priya
Says Priya, “That is like turning a blind eye to the glaring problem at hand, which is guns, especially in the hands of the wrong people.” Toscano also noted in a July Facebook post that his Subcommittee on Student Behavior and Intervention heard from UVA professor and national expert Dewey Cornell that the threat of deadly violence is much higher in many spaces than schools, such as restaurants and homes, which are 10 and 200 times more dangerous, respectively.

SURVEY SAYS
It’s not as bad as it sounds. Researchers with the University of Virginia’s Youth Violence Project, which is directed by Dewey Cornell and exists to prevent violence among young people, surveyed nearly 70,000 students and 15,000 teachers and staff at high schools across the nation in 2016. Here’s what they found: 82 percent of students felt safe in schools 92 percent of teachers felt safe 80 percent of teachers reported adequate safety and security measures 3 percent of students reported carrying a weapon to school

and her oldest daughter, Samyuktha, met with Democratic Delegate David Toscano to discuss gun control and school safety. Toscano, along with Republican delegates Rob Bell and Steve Landes, are members of the state’s House Select Committee on School Safety, a 22-person bipartisan group that formed after the Parkland shooting and exists to find ways to make schools safer. Toscano criticized the committee in a May 10 newsletter, where he said, “The Parkland shootings vividly reignited the gun safety debate all over America, including our Virginia House of Delegates. Republican and Democratic delegates, however, responded quite differently.” He calls the safety committee’s focus “narrow,” and says the committee has been specifically instructed by House Speaker Kirk Cox, a retired teacher, not to discuss arming teachers, which was advocated by the president, or the broader issue of gun safety. Priya mentions that Bell, the committee chairman, has a lifetime ‘A’ rating by the National Rifle Association, “so you see how it plays into such important issues being skirted around,” she says. The first meeting, Toscano says, suggested that the group’s recommendations will likely focus on physical changes that can be made to schools, such as entrance control, locks in classrooms, and safety glass, and mental health counseling and conflict resolution for students.

Priya leads the local chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which started as an intimate group of about 10 parents who were ready to advocate for common sense gun laws last fall, and who “were actually caught literally off guard” in February, when about 150 people showed up to a call for new members. This was in the wake of the Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 students and faculty dead, and the same amount injured. It was the shooting that changed the conversation. “It’s a movement,” Priya says, describing an unprecedented reaction of anger and frustration within our community, where people found her group in an effort to advocate for immediate change. “We were not able to give them the Band-Aid solution that they really wanted,” she adds. And that’s because there isn’t one. Affecting real change takes time, and that’s what Moms Demand Action aims to do—to continue the conversation on common-sense gun laws, to keep weapons out of the hands of known felons, domestic abusers, and people with dangerous mental illnesses, she says. “We are not partisan, we’re not against the Second Amendment,” says Priya. “We’re just saying we want to keep our communities and children safe, and basic laws need to be in place.” Several Moms Demand Action members met with Senator Creigh Deeds on August 16. His platform aligns with the activist group’s in that he is against bump stocks, which make semi-automatic weapons shoot almost as fast as fully automatic machine guns, and he is for universal background checks for potential firearm purchasers.

write letters to senators and legislators, urging them to stand firmly against their colleagues who are working to legalize the 3-D printing of firearms. “The idea of 3-D gun print-outs is preposterous and highly irresponsible and defeats the purpose of any existing gun laws,” says Priya. “We need to fight this foolishness at all costs.” Adds Samyuktha, “I know in high school we had a 3-D printer and in college we have several. That makes it much more real to know that if someone so chose to, they could download and print something out so easily.” Another bad idea? Arming teachers, says Priya. Even though Bell’s committee on school safety won’t discuss it, the Mahadevans will. While Priya simply calls it the “stupidest idea in the world,” her youngest daughter, Shreya, illustrates a grim outcome. Says the 9-year-old: “Anyone could pick up a gun from a teacher’s desk and start shooting it, or a child could get something from a teacher’s desk and pick it up out of curiosity and start playing with it, and then they might just accidentally pull the trigger on someone.”

Becoming bulletproof
Fré Halvorson-Taylor, who graduated from Charlottesville High School last spring, has advocated for stricter gun laws by helping organize her school’s participation in the National School Walkout and attending the March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C. She hopes the movement will keep gaining momentum, and plans to continue her activism at Columbia University this fall.
FIREARM FATALITIES
Everytown For Gun Safety Support Fund, a sister organization of Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America, reports 96 gun-related deaths in America every day. “If you think of every day as a mass shooting, that kind of shows you what’s going on,” says 20-year-old Samyuktha Mahadevan, an active organizer with Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action. Firearms are the second leading cause of death for American children, and the first leading cause for the country’s black children. Nearly 1,600 minors die by gun homicide every year. (For kids under the age of 13, most of these happen in the home.) The gun homicide rate in the U.S. is 25 times higher than that of other developed countries.
facebook.com/cville.weekly
Some prosecutors in other parts of the country are considering charging parents who have unsecured guns that are used in a shooting, as reported by the New York Times in May 2018. Priya says it should be considered child endangerment. “They should be held accountable with an indelible felony charge and complete revoking of rights to own guns,” she says. “The Virginia laws are sadly lacking in this regard and they get away with a slap on the wrist and a small fine.” Democrats are examining the issue through a “broader lens” than the Republican-led committee Toscano says, with their own task force called the Safe Virginia Initiative, which focuses largely on gun safety. “Virginians realize that thoughts and prayers are no longer enough to address our problems,” he said in his newsletter. For Priya, one of the largest takeaways from her discussion with Toscano was his making the connection between a school and its community—“If the community has got
a lot of issues of violence, then it definitely plays out in schools as well,” she says. They also discussed framing gun violence as a public health crisis that requires legal attention. “We’ve managed to get a statewide Medicaid expansion with the support of people who may in the past have opposed gun sense laws,” says Samyuktha. “So if you can frame gun sense as something tied to health, and something that would be contributing to safety and physical wellbeing, then it could be a more effective legislative path.” Priya also notes that when a child dies because of not wearing a seatbelt, or for not being properly buckled into his car seat, legislators immediately write new laws to prevent such tragedies. “I think we should have laws in place that make sure children are safe wherever they are, and anything short of that is not acceptable,” she says. The most important step to ensure that is electing people who are willing to hear those concerns and address them, Priya adds, and “I think that is the biggest weapon we have.” Members of Moms Demand Action gathered at the Northside Library August 13 to

Student activists who survived the bloodbath in Parkland have made it clear that they won’t back down. And local pupils are following their lead. Wearing an orange T-shirt with the words “Students Demand Action” written in white, Samyuktha sat on a panel at the August 3 March For Our Lives town hall meeting at a local church, with both Charlottesville kids and faces from Parkland, who have been on tour with their message all summer. The official March For Our Lives drew hundreds of thousands of young people to the nation’s capital on March 24 for a day of protesting lax firearm laws, advocating for gun reform, and remembering those who have lost their lives at the hands of a school shooter. Samyuktha helped organize a March For Our Lives sister march in Williamsburg, as dozens of Charlottesville students boarded buses and headed to the big event in D.C. Among them was then-Charlottesville High School senior Fré Halvorson-Taylor, an 18-year-old who will start classes at Columbia University this fall. Like many of her peers, she was and still is frustrated with the persistent violence in schools. “I was disappointed with the lack of concrete response from our legislators across the country,” she says. “Every instance of gunrelated violence inside and outside of schools is preventable. And I’m baffled and hurt as to why nothing is being done about it.” Halvorson-Taylor says growing up in the “information age,” and with social media sites that allow her generation to voice their views and contribute to community discourse is partly responsible for their boldness. “I’m not sure we have many more problems than other generations, but we’re certainly reckoning with and facing head-on a lot of issues that have existed in our society for a while,” she says. “Speaking out comes naturally to us.”
She also had a hand in the March 14 National School Walkout, where students in schools across the country walked out of class on the one-month anniversary of the shooting in Parkland. HalvorsonTaylor and Albemarle High School student Camille Pastore wrote a joint statement that was approved by representatives from Monticello and Western Albemarle high schools, and read aloud by students at all four schools during the walkout. “For too long, we the young people, the future, have waited to speak up,” they shouted into bullhorns. “But more importantly, we’ve waited to be heard. And now our voices have been given platforms. What will we do with them?” Though hundreds of students had walked out to their respective campuses, silence hung in the air between the young activists’ words: “Our generation reacts differently to tragedy. We went to school after Columbine and dove into textbooks during Sandy Hook. That doesn’t mean we’re not scared—we are. And our teachers are scared. And we have a right to be. We attend these institutions in fear because we are targeted, we are vulnerable, and we could be shot.” The internal dialogue Halvorson-Taylor has been grappling with, she says, is how to make schools physically and emotionally safe, and where to draw the line between being prepared and making schools feel like prisons. “We’ve all heard the criticism—adults are surprised to find that the Parkland teenagers are passionate, intelligent, and articulate. But this isn’t news for us. We know how strong we can be, and that’s why we’re here now, urging you all to use your voices.” Parkland survivor Delaney Tarr has famously said the movement created and led by students is based on emotion, pain, and passion, and that some of teenagers’ biggest flaws—the tendency to lash out or be a bit too aggressive—are their greatest strengths. “Channel your anger. Make change. For the first time in a long time, the nation is listening to us. What will we tell it?”

In 1994 Sheryl Crow followed her breakout smash single “All I Wanna Do” by asking, “Are you strong enough to be my man?” Soon after, the private life of the former high school beauty queen became as popular as the numerous hits from the 50 million albums she sold. Crow has been linked romantically to Owen Wilson, Kid Rock, Lance Armstrong, and Eric Clapton but never let gossip distract from a career that began with singing backup for Michael Jackson. Her musical hookups are the real story with dozens of collaborations that include The Rolling Stones, Prince, Luciano Pavarotti, and Willie Nelson. The fiercely independent rock star has also fought battles with breast cancer, a brain tumor, stood up for political and social causes, and never skipped a beat. $139-279, 5:25pm.

G
eorge Clinton is back. George Clinton is leaving. In April, just three months after releasing “I’m Gon Make U Sick O’ Me,” a single from Medicaid Fraud Dogg, the first Parliament record in 38 years, Dr. Funkenstein announced he’ll retire from touring in spring 2019. It marks the final phase of a career spanning five decades, two chart-topping bands, and a successful solo career. Clinton’s dabbled in movies and television along the way, and his music has influenced countless hiphop, R&B, and soul musicians. His samples are ubiquitous. Ahead of his August 24 gig at Lockn’, the Prime Minister of Funk talked to C-VILLE Weekly about drugs, touring, and our funkfree POTUS. C-VILLE: So you’re pretty familiar with the Charlottesville area, right? GC: We used to play there all the time— right near the university. What’s the group’s name that’s from there?
Dave Matthews Band. Yeah, Dave Matthews. We used to play together all the time. I remember we played there the year Virginia and Florida State played. I’m from Florida—I live in Tallahassee. Any wild stories from hanging around C’ville? Oh, that was back in my crazy days. But the shows were always good. All I can remember is that it used to be really icy and snowy. We was all up in the snow. Speaking of your crazy days, you’re sober now, yes? My last eight years. Well, I got my medical marijuana card and my pipe, my papers. I keep that handy. But I’m 77 now.
George Clinton & P-Funk Lockn’ Festival August 25
How has the creative process changed for you since you got sober? I got an album that just came out, Medicaid Fraud Dogg, and I definitely wrote that one sober. The one before that was First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate. That was while I was getting sober. But this one was completely sober. It actually feels just like the old days, back in the Mothership days. The response we’re getting from people about the album and the video has been amazing. Can the Lock’n crowd expect new music or classics?
George Clinton, who announced he will retire in 2019, makes one of his final concert appearances at Lockn’ Festival on Friday.
“You realize how much shit you don’t know when you get behind that microphone.” The last couple years we’ve been doing the new stuff, but you’ll see some of the old stuff. I just look at the people and figure it out right from the stage. We never have a set list. We have so many different people come to shows, different ages, nationalities, genders. You have to look at the audience and say, “they look like they’re feeling this way.” So, we can improvise—we can play old hit records and jam ’em at the same time. It’s like a funky Grateful Dead. Do you enjoy playing festivals like Lockn’? Is that the one with Widespread Panic? Those are our boys. We love it. We’ve been doing it for years, back to the early days of Lollapalooza with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I feel like it’s getting better nowadays. The only good shows for a while were electronic music. Now I feel like there are a lot of bands that are coming back to the festivals. How do you feel about the way music, specifically black music, has changed over the years? You know, we did that record with Kendrick, To Pimp a Butterfly. He’s one of my favorites of the new style. I’m still into like Scarface and Ice Cube. But mixing it up with Kendrick was good. Right now, I also like Cardi B and a lot of the Atlanta music. I’m down with that because we did a lot of stuff in the ’90s with Outkast, and that seemed to be an
outgrowth of the P-funk thing. Funk is in the DNA of hip-hop. What is it about Kendrick that you like? He’s artsy fartsy, like Prince did with rock ‘n’ roll, like Beyoncé with what she do. Kendrick is one of those perfectionists. He works night and day trying to get better. You can tell he puts work in and studies his craft. Kendrick is also overtly political, and that was never really your thing. We did it humorously. We were able to get away with a lot of things other people couldn’t because it looked like we were joking. I wasn’t preaching. I was just saying, “here is another point of view.” I tried to mirror the world around me. But I was non-partisan, too. I don’t want to lead nobody down the road and find out something different later on. You realize how much shit you don’t know when you get behind that microphone. Any thoughts about the current state of politics or President Trump? I don’t think about that dude. Any day now he gonna dance his way out of there. I just believe in the funk, and he ain’t got no funk. What’s next for you after you retire from touring? By the end of next year, I’ll be 78. But the band is in tip-top shape—they got it without me being there. I’ll still be recording, in the studio, keep recording the group, and doing TV and movies and stuff. Fishing. Is there anything else you’d like to say to the Lock’n crowd? Tell ‘em I said bring two booties, cause I’m gonna make them sick of me.

A
few months ago, artist Uzo Njoku was in the market for a new coloring book. She noticed that most coloring books geared toward adults, like the ubiquitous Enchanted Garden, featured densely outlined flora and fauna, medallions, and mandalas, and that most coloring books for children contained cartoonish figures. Njoku, a UVA studio art major who paints large-scale works of dark-skinned subjects (most of them women) against bright, bold-patterned backgrounds referencing Ankara fabrics, sought a different type of coloring book—one with more realistic figures, but still with the density of pattern and sense of magic that makes coloring a therapeutic activity. But she couldn’t find what she wanted, so she decided to draw and publish her own. The result, The Bluestocking Society, has sold more than 1,000 copies since it was released last month, and Njoku has consignment contracts with bookstores all over the East Coast, including New Dominion Bookshop and Telegraph Art & Comics here in town; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond; and Clic Bookstore & Gallery in New York City. Each page of The Bluestocking Society shows a different aspect of femininity, with particular focus on women of color. Njoku, who was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and has lived in the U.S. since she was 7 years old, says she wants to create art that is “meaningful…impactful,” especially for women and people of color in her own community, at UVA and in Charlottesville, two places where she says women and people of color do not always feel welcome. With her paintings, Njoku aims to show how women and people of color are valuable, that they have voices that deserve to be heard. But she’s aware that not everyone can afford to purchase a painting or a print to hang on their wall at home and remind them of that message, so a coloring book was an accessible way to offer her work. Njoku chose a title that invokes the Blue Stockings Society, an informal women’s social, intellectual, and educational movement founded and led by salonist and literary critic Elizabeth Montagu in mid-18th-century England. Members of the Blue Stockings Society championed the importance of education for women, and it inspired Njoku to include contemporary wom-
In The Bluestocking Society coloring book, Uzo Njoku portrays females doing both everyday and extraordinary things, showing women that there is no limit to who they can aspire to be.
en like Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist who at age 15 spoke out against the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education and, not long after that speech, survived an assassination attempt on her life and now continues her work fighting for girls’ education. Njoku wants her coloring book to be both therapeutic and educational. In addition to drawing the women in the book, she researched their lives and accomplishments for a one-page biography included next to each woman’s page. Njoku also presents every woman as her own person, because she believes that too often, they are discussed only in the context of men’s lives. Take, for example, Dolores Huerta, a Mexican-American labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farmworkers Association (later United Farm Workers) with Cesar Chavez, the name and face more commonly associated with the movement. Or Yoko Ono, a groundbreaking multimedia artist, musician, performance artist, filmmaker, and peace activist (John Lennon was her husband). “She’s amazing on her own,” Njoku says of Ono, just like every woman. In addition to Yousefzai, Huerta, and Ono, there’s decorated tennis player Serena Williams, artist Frida Kahlo, political activist and writer Angela Davis, and sprinter Cathy Freeman, the first Aboriginal Australian woman to compete in the Olympics, in 1996. “And
of course, I had to include Beyoncé,” says Njoku. Njoku also included drawings of women with no specified identity—women graduating from college and graduate school, an Habesha, women cooking, mothers with their children. She included a drawing of a pregnant teenager, because in society’s eyes, young mothers are talked about as a sad thing, but “there’s beauty in it. You had a child. You brought a being into this world,” and it’s worthy of celebration and respect, says Njoku. She drew women with specific facial features and body types, because to her, it’s not enough to present a blank page where a woman’s skin can be colored in any hue—brown, dark brown, tan, peach, blue. Even in the line drawings, she wanted to identify these women as women of color—with, for example, black facial features and black hairstyles. Before one even gets to the drawings, the first page of the book includes a blank frame with the numbers 1 through 5, urging the person reading it to make a list of five things they like about themselves. At first, Njoku imagined women and girls as the audience for The Bluestocking Society, but she quickly realized the coloring book is for everyone. The Bluestocking Society urges people of all genders to see these women, and all women, for who they are and what they are capable of. Women contain multitudes, Njoku’s coloring book says, and all women—from the 16-year-old mother to Oprah Winfrey— are equally inspiring.

age with the inability to properly direct martial arts. The incoherent action fails to hold it all together, leaving the story to die on the vine. Wahlberg’s rapid-fire delivery is meant to amplify some undiagnosed psychological condition, but the result is just Silva coming off as an insufferable prat who you really don’t want to spend 90 minutes with. Rousey, a professional fighter, is given a gun and lots of dialogue, but strangely does not fight. Cohan brings a lot to her character and could have been the saving grace had the story centered more on her character than Wahlberg’s. John Malkovich, one of the great go-big-or-go-home actors of our time, is left to do nothing but remotely feed intel to Wahlberg while wearing the worst hairpiece on a great performer since Robert Duvall’s Tom Hagen. Furthermore, the omission of where exactly this takes place beyond “Southeast Asia”—not even a fictional country is named—comes off as cowardly and noncommittal. The ending is clearly attempting to set up a franchise. Don’t let them. Skip it.

f Peter Berg was more interested in emulating Michael Mann than Michael Bay, Mile 22 might be something. An international thriller based around getting a high-value asset from point A to point B through extremely hostile territory within a very narrow window should be exciting from beginning to end, a claustrophobic story in the open air where the moments between the action sequences are just as tense as the fights and shootouts. Instead, what we get is a jumbled, unfocused, visual mess that wastes its potential and is still somehow overlong at only 94 minutes. The story follows a special ops team led by James Silva (Mark Wahlberg) that is tasked with transporting a defector, the mysterious Li Noor (Iko Uwais), to safety as his former (unnamed) nation’s intelligence agency spares no expense or bullet trying to take him down. Noor’s bargaining chip is that he has a self-destructing disc containing the location of several missing chemical weapons caches, and only he knows the password—and that he has a knack for making it out of no-win situations alive. His demand for this code is safe passage and asylum in the US. Silva and his team (featuring Ronda Rousey and Lauren
Cohan) have to escort him 22 miles to the extraction point, where a military plane will wait for exactly 10 minutes after landing. If they fail, everyone dies and the weapons go to the highest bidder. It’s a solid premise (if reminiscent of 16 Blocks) that’s taken down by—well, everything about the movie. First, and most disappointing, is a failure to make anything close to spatial sense in a film where the set pieces are specifically designed around the use of space: a safe house that’s been compromised, an apartment complex filled with danger at every turn, and navigating tight city streets where every motorcyclist may be armed. Neither the camera nor the editing allow you to see what’s actually happening before cutting to three different angles of the same event—a telltale sign that the editing was used to cover up either bad action choreography or bad cinematography. Even the gunplay is bad, and one shootout in particular feels like they tried to recreate the heist from Heat but only had one afternoon to film. You may recognize Iko Uwais from The Raid films, where his skill as a physical performer first caught the world’s attention. Watching him take down a room full of baddies should be a delight, but the editing doesn’t even let you see where the punches land. Berg puts him back in an apartment complex and wastes the potential for hom-

Owning our food trucks has allowed us the chance to meet so many great people here, and we hope to be around for a long time, serving up our waffles.” The style they serve is the bubble waffle—the circular waffles are pocketed with bubbles to better hold accompanying sauces and ice cream, and they come in sweet and savory forms. “A bubble waffle is basically a Hong Kong Egg Waffle,” Danielle says. “But we’ve adapted it with our recipe to fit our menu. It has beautiful round bubbles all over it. You can fork it, slice it, or my favorite: pull it apart with your hands.” Steven recommends the classic chicken and waffles, with a mix of housemade Georgia mustard and North Carolina sauces with a homemade pickle. Danielle favors the lemon berry: a bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream, Meyer lemon curd and plenty of blueberries.

Wegmans will host its Hatch Chile Festival August 24-26. The festival, held over the next several weeks at select Wegmans locations throughout the country, has become a popular annual event, and originated as a way for the grocery store to promote a unique seasonal item, says the store’s media relations manager, Valerie Fox. Fox says they’ll have a chile roaster set up near the entrance, and various departments at the grocery store will offer products that creatively incorporate Hatch chilies into their selections. The chilies, grown in Hatch, New Mexico, the chile capital of the world, are a popular ingredient in Southwestern cooking, Fox says. Harvested four weeks each year, the chiles have a thicker wall than more common ones like the Anaheim, thus holding up nicely in recipes and freezing for year-round use.

illi Joe owner Nick Leichtentritt has always had a special place in his heart for simple Italian cannoli, and he’s planning to bring his favorite dessert to Charlottesville at Sicily Rose, an Italian coffee and cannoli bar opening in September in IX Art Park. “Sicily Rose is a project I’ve actually been working on and thinking about for a couple years now,” he says. “I grew up in an Italian family in New York, so cannoli were always a go-to dessert for us, and now every time I find a good one I’m reminded of my childhood. The shop is named in honor of my Sicilian grandmother, Rose, who shared her love of Italian bakeries with all of her grandkids, and whose kitchen in New York was home to some of my earliest and fondest memories. She was in large part responsible for my lifelong love of food and the desire to share it with friends and family.” Sicily Rose will feature a full-scale Italian coffee bar as well as American coffee favorites from Milli Joe. The made-to-order cannoli bar will stick to the traditional favorites. “We’re not going to do a bunch of crazy flavors,” Leichtentritt says. “Instead we will have one style of fresh-made cannoli shells and a simple, authentic cannoli cream, which we will make in-house and fill to order. The cannoli will be topped with a choice of chocolate, pistachio, almond, or candied orange.” Leichtentritt says he’ll also carry some unique Italian treats as well as local chocolates, local beer, and Italian wine.

the former home of Opal Yoga, which has moved). The space seats up to 52 people, and boasts polished hardwoods and exposed brick, with wood paneling flanking a fully stocked bar. Benjamin Clore, co-owner of Oakhart Social, says the private space that opened in April was used for overflow seating for graduation, and is now available for those seeking to host private functions. Clore says the master plan involves a rooftop restaurant above Oakhart Social, in which the back half of the rooftop will be a building with an open kitchen and bar design similar in concept to that of Mas Tapas, with the kitchen on one side, and bar seating on the other. The front half will be open-air patio seating. Clore said all city approvals have been met but the project is on hold while they finalize the opening of their next venture, Little Star (across the street in the old Threepenny Café site). “Little Star will feature American food with Spanish and Latin influences, and small plates like at Oakhart, largely wood-fired,” Clore says, adding it should open in October or November.

IF YOU GO The entrance to Old City Cemetery is at Fourth and Taylor Streets, and it is open daily, dawn to dusk, free of charge. Most of its museums offer self-guided exterior tours, and the Cemetery Center, which includes the Mourning Museum, is open Monday-Saturday 10am-3pm, Sunday 1-5pm. See gravegarden.org.

chose healthy foods from a storm of images floating around on a screen. This exhibit makes use of comic book aesthetics and looping videos—a contrast to some of the museum’s more old-fashioned zones. Our nephew spent a long time building circuits in the electronics exhibit, and everyone always likes rolling golf balls down a long roller-coaster track that illustrates some Newtonian principle or other. For a parent, a day at Amazement Square is a bit of a marathon, since there are so many different pockets to explore and kids tend to flit rapidly between them using the climbing structure, in which only the most agile of adults can hope to keep up. In most families, what ends up happening is that parents either give up trying to keep track of exactly where their children have gone, or run up and down the steps catching glimpses of the kids disappearing into tunnels or emerging two floors above them. When the psychological strain becomes too much to bear, a good place to take a break is next door at the Depot Grille, a restaurant in a former train station where crayons are provided and most orders come with fries. Both these historic buildings, the riverfront, the railroad tracks, the cobblestone streets, and the enormous stones making up sidewalks and walls—they all conspire to lend a sense of Lynchburg as an old, layered place with many stories to tell. Our cemetery visit began to round out my view of the city, and I’m looking forward to future Lynchburg explorations, with or without kids in tow.

puppetry. The museum catches kids’ attention with multicolored steps that light up when you walk on them, and an elevator shaft is made of glass to reveal its inner workings. One of my personal favorites is the exhibit on James River navigation, where you can guide a miniature boat along a model of the river, including canals and locks. As the boat finishes up in downtown Lynchburg, it may get rained on from a mechanical “cloud” pumped full of water by another visitor.

ynchburg isn’t that far away, but a visit there really does feel like travel, given how different it is than Charlottesville. A river town intimately connected with the James, a Southern town that many people associate with conservatism rather than its opposite, a college town whose colleges exist at its fringes rather than its heart, Lynchburg is an intriguing world apart. But until recently, my kids have only known one thing about it: It’s the home of the large children’s museum, Amazement Square. I wanted to show them another side of the city, so when their aunt and cousins were visiting, we compromised like this: First the Old City Cemetery, then Amazement Square. Old City Cemetery is a much better place to take kids than its name implies. Its URL, gravegarden.org, gives you a sense of what it’s like: not gloomy, but bloomy. It’s full of lovely landscaping, historical artifacts, and just happens to be the resting place of 20,000 people buried over the past 212 years. A collection of small museums offers the chance to learn about historical mourning customs and Civil War medical care, they offer tours, host concerts, and you can even get married there. Our group focused on a super awesome swing hung from a giant pecan tree. We’d heard about this swing, and it did not disappoint. The four kids in our group, all between ages 5 and 8, got to practice some serious turn-taking as they waited for the chance to soar skyward. From this picturesque hillside spot, we spread out a picnic on a cast-iron table nearby. I poked around a little bit at the surrounding plants, historical markers, and architectural fragments—like a large stone column salvaged from a former bank—and came to think that OCC would make a fine destination for a day trip in itself. (Then I took my own turn on the swing.) On to Amazement Square, a place we’ve visited before, and one which my girls associate with unbridled fun. They especially yearned to initiate their cousins into the delights of AS’s four-story indoor climbing structure—a complex of tunnels, slides, rope ladders, and a zipline, culminating in a roof-level observation tower outfitted with spyglasses. Opened in 2001 in a Civil War-era commercial building near the James, AS is an absorbing, multifaceted environment. Its exhibits cover topics as diverse as archaeology and architecture, electricity and

By Rob Brezsny
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In all the time we’ve worked on diminishing your suffering, we may have not focused enough on the fine art of resolving unfinished business. So let’s do that now, just in time for the arrival of your Season of Completion. Are you ready to start drawing the old cycle to a close so you’ll be fresh when the new cycle begins? Are you in the mood to conclude this chapter of your life story and earn the relaxing hiatus you will need before launching the next chapter? Even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not in the mood, I suggest you do the work anyway. Any business you leave unfinished now will only return to haunt you later. So don’t leave any business unfinished!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you ready to mix more business with pleasure and more pleasure with business than you have ever mixed? I predict that in the coming weeks, your social opportunities will serve your professional ambitions and your professional ambitions will serve your social opportunities. You will have more than your usual amount of power to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections. Here’s my advice: Be extra charming, but not grossly opportunistic. Sell yourself, but with grace and integrity, not with obsequiousness. Express yourself like a gorgeous force of nature, and encourage others to express themselves like gorgeous forces of nature.
Sagittarius
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You do not yet have access to maps of the places where you need to go
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I think you’ve done enough rehearsals. At this point, the apparent quest for a little extra readiness is beginning to lapse into procrastination. So I’ll suggest that you set a date for opening night. I’ll nudge you to have a cordial talk with yourself about the value of emphasizing soulfulness over perfectionism. What? You say you’re waiting until your heart stops fluttering and your bones stop chattering? I’ve got good news: The greater your stage fright, the more moving your performance will be. next. That fact may tempt you to turn around and head back to familiar territory. But I hope you’ll press forward even without the maps. Out there in the frontier, adventures await you that will prepare you well for the rest of your long life. And being without maps, at least in the early going, may actually enhance your learning opportunities. Here’s another thing you should know: Your intuitive navigational sense will keep improving the farther you get from recognizable landmark.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Healing isn’t impossible. You may not be stuck with your pain forever. The crookedness in your soul and the twist in your heart may not always define who you are. There may come a time when you’ll no longer be plagued by obsessive thoughts that keep returning you to the tormenting memories. But if you hope to find the kind of liberation I’m describing here, I advise you to start with these two guidelines: 1. The healing may not happen the way you think it should or imagine it will. 2. The best way to sprout the seeds that will ultimately bloom with the cures is to tell the complete truth.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Nineteenth-century British painter J. M. W. Turner was one of the greats. Renowned for his luminous landscapes, he specialized in depicting the power of nature and the atmospheric drama of light and color. Modern poet Mary Ruefle tells us that although Turner “painted his own sea monsters,” he engaged assistants “to do small animals.” She writes that “he could do a great sky, but not rabbits.” I’m hoping that unlike Turner, you Piscean folks will go both ways in the coming weeks. Give as much of your creative potency and loving intelligence to the modest details as to the sweeping vistas.
Aries (March 21-April 19): The two pieces of advice I have for you may initially seem contradictory, but they are in fact complementary. Together they’ll help guide you through the next three weeks. The first comes from herbalist and wise woman Susun Weed. She suggests that when you face a dilemma, you should ask yourself how you can make it your ally and how you can learn the lesson it has for you. Your second burst of wisdom is from writer Yasmin Mogahed: “Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.”
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Speak the following declaration aloud and see how it feels: “I want strong soft kisses and tender unruly kisses and secret truth kisses and surprise elixir kisses. I deserve them, too.” If that puts you in a brave mood, Taurus, add a further affirmation: “I want ingenious affectionate amazements and deep dark appreciation and brisk mirthful lessons and crazy sweet cuddle wrestles. I deserve them, too.” What do you think? Do these formulas work for you? Do they put you in the proper frame of mind to co-create transformative intimacy? I hope so. You’re entering a phase when you have maximum power to enchant and to be enchanted.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): As you map out your master plan for the next 14 months, I invite you to include the following considerations: an intention to purge pretend feelings and artificial motivations; a promise to change your relationship with old secrets so that they no longer impinge on your room to maneuver; a pledge to explore evocative mysteries that will enhance your courage; a vow to be kinder toward aspects of yourself that you haven’t loved well enough; and a search for an addition-
al source of stability that will inspire you to seek more freedom.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): If you have been communing with my horoscopes for a while, you’ve gotten a decent education—for free! Nonetheless, you shouldn’t depend on me for all of your learning needs. Due to my tendency to emphasize the best in you and focus on healing your wounds, I may neglect some aspects of your training. With that as caveat, I’ll offer a few meditations about future possibilities. 1. What new subjects or skills do you want to master in the next three years? 2. What’s the single most important thing you can do to augment your intelligence? 3. Are there dogmas you believe in so fixedly and rely on so heavily that they obstruct the arrival of fresh ideas? If so, are you willing to at least temporarily set them aside?
Leo (July 23-August 22): “All the world’s a stage,” wrote Shakespeare, “And all the men and women merely players.” In other words, we’re all performers. Whenever we emerge from solitude and encounter other people, we choose to express certain aspects of our inner experience even as we hide others. Our personalities are facades that display a colorful mix of authenticity and fantasy. Many wise people over the centuries have deprecated this central aspect of human behavior as superficial and dishonest. But author Neil Gaiman thinks otherwise: “We are all wearing masks,” he says. “That is what makes us interesting.” Invoking his view—and in accordance with current astrological omens—I urge you to celebrate your masks and disguises in the coming weeks. Enjoy the show you present. Dare to entertain your audiences. Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: Real Astrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I picture a perfect reader,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “I picture a monster of courage and curiosity, also something supple, cunning, cautious, a born adventurer and discoverer.” I suspect he was using the term “monster” with a roguish affection. I am certainly doing that as I direct these same words toward you, dear Sagittarian reader. Of course, I am always appreciative of your courage, curiosity, cunning, suppleness, and adventurousness. But I’m especially excited about those qualities now, because the coming weeks will be a time when they will be both most necessary and most available to you.

Q&A How have conversations about school safety changed?
Over the past couple of years or so, it’s been ramping up a little bit more, and I don’t think it’s one specific shooting that’s done it. Each one is just breaking away at the mold a little bit more. Another part is that when I was in college, everyone was talking about the Virginia Tech shooting because it was local, and now you hear about ones from all over the country. HANNAH SMITH
Discussions about school safety have become irrational and driven by emotion. They are no longer about actually keeping our children safe, this issue is being used to advance a liberal political agenda, which will reduce, not improve, safety.
We no longer assume our children are more safe than not. We speak about school to our kids with concern and safety first, and learning second. JOHN LEMASNEY/FACEBOOK
I think the conversation has died down since the shooting by [Nikolas] Cruz in Florida. There are less protests now, and there’s more stuff in the news to distract people.
JOHN GOLD/EMAIL
Won’t ever be a safe environment until people address the morality of the youth and their thug mentality. Antifa, BLM is being praised by the left, and covered by the brainwashed idea that they’re peaceful, antihate heroes.
DEWAYNE WILSON
Instead of discussing how to better educate our children, we discuss how to provide a safer environment for learning. TED ANDREWS/FACEBOOK

Now they’ve started talking about arming teachers and faculty members. That seems connected to Trump being president. JOHN EDDINGTON
