It’s been about a month now since Governor Northam closed Virginia’s schools (initially for only two weeks) and suggested we all stay home. Many of us have done so, carving out offices in the basement or at the kitchen table, finding the gallery view button on Zoom, and attempting to create a rhythm to days that seem endless as the borders between home, work, and school have disappeared. It may be chaotic, or tedious, but it’s safe.
A lot of people, however, don’t have the luxury of working remotely. From the doctors, nurses, and paramedics caring for those who are infected, to the cleaners, mechanics, and cafeteria employees keeping our hospitals running smoothly, locals are stepping up and potentially putting themselves at risk to help keep the rest of us safe. Outside of hospitals, too, there’s an army of workers still showing up to supply our community with essential services, from grocery store employees to bus drivers, food pantry workers to homeless shelter staff. In this issue, we talked to eight of them to see how their jobs have changed, what they’re worried about, and how they cope (p. 11). Also in this issue, we’re continuing to cover some of the more mundane aspects of life at home, from how to make a doctor’s appointment (when you don’t have COVID-19, p. 8), to how you can still support local shops (p. 9) and restaurants (p. 18), and even what to do about your hair (p. 15). It’s going to be a long spring. As paramedic Erik Bailey told us, “take care of each other the best you can.”—Laura Longhine

IN BRIEF Statue status Governor Ralph Northam has finally made it official: Charlottesville will soon be able to legally take down its Confederate monuments. The bill, which Northam signed on April 11, will go into effect July 1. The end is in sight, but the city will have to wait 60 days and hold one public hearing before the statues can be removed.
Foy joy? Last week, state Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy (D-Prince William) filed paperwork to run for Virginia governor in 2021. Foy is a 38-year-old former public defender who sponsored the legislation that led to Virginia’s ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. If elected, she would become the first black female governor in United States history. Her likely Democratic primary opponents include Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, an accused sex offender, and Attorney General Mark Herring, who has admitted to appearing in blackface.

Governor Ralph Northam
The Virginia legislature turned in a historic session earlier this year, and as the deadline approached this week, Governor Northam put his signature on dozens of new bills. The new laws will tighten gun safety regulations, decriminalize marijuana, allow easier access to abortion, make election day a national holiday, repeal voter ID laws, allow racist monuments to be removed, and more. Northam didn’t sign everything, though— he used his power to delay the legislature’s proposed minimum wage increase by one year, citing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pastor Harold Bare was met with an unusual scene when he stood in front of his congregation on Easter Sunday—a barrage of car horns during a Facebookstreamed drive-in service, which welcomed congregants to decorate their vehicles and watch Bare’s sermon from a parking lot. Like every other institution in town, religious organizations have had to get creative as the novel coronavirus has radically reshaped our world. On Good Friday, Bare’s Covenant Church convened its choir over Zoom, with singers crooning into laptop microphones in rough, tinny unison. “Fear not, God is in control,” read a sticker on the side of one car at Covenant’s Easter service. Additional stickers thanked more earthly leaders, like nurses and doctors. Other religious groups have had to adjust in similar ways.

A ‘Tiger King’ is born Netflix star Bhagavan Antle got his start at a yoga commune in rural Virginia news@c-ville.com

efore he was a tiger king, Bhagavan Kevin “Doc” Antle lived in the rolling green hills of central Virginia, at the Satchidananda Ashram, in Buckingham County’s Yogaville. Antle has become an international sensation thanks to his starring role in the Netflix documentary miniseries “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness.” The show portrays Antle as both a talented animal handler and a sinister cult leader, who mistreats and abuses his young and vulnerable employees. In the 1980s, when he lived in Virginia, Antle was a magician with a yard full of wild animals. “It was very exciting,” says Martha Louis, who lived next to Antle’s Buckingham operation. “Night noises. Lions roaring. Tigers purring. The elephant, Bubbles, doing his thing. They would sometimes come into our yard because we were right next door.” “[Antle] could be seen on Howardsville Road, walking—like you’d walk a dog—he’d walk the tiger,” says Louis. Antle came to Yogaville in the earliest days of the ashram, around 1982—which is also when he bought his first tiger, according to a 2015 Rolling Stone profile. At the time, he was also working in marketing for Exxon. Antle evidently felt at home at Yogaville, a meditation complex founded in the early ’80s by Swami Satchidananda, the celebrity yogi who delivered the opening blessing at Woodstock in 1969. The spot draws people from around the world to practice in the placid Appalachian wilderness—residents eat vegetarian, meditate multiple times per day, and pay cheap rent. Many adopt Sanskrit first names. (Antle’s name, Bhagavan, was given to him by his mother, according to Rolling Stone.) Shortly after arriving, Antle had a robust private zoo up and running, not far from the ashram. Louis estimates the 14-acre property held 100 animals—lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, birds, an elephant, and more. “He lived at the zoo,” Louis says. “He was there most of the time because those animals all needed to be fed. He had a freezer full of meat, like a full big freezer full of steaks.” Antle’s animals regularly appear in photos with Satchidananda, who died in 2002, but whose image is still ubiquitous in Yogaville’s advertising materials. A 1986 Washington Post article describing the dedication of Yogaville’s central Lotus building mentions Antle, and Bubbles the elephant, leading a celebratory parade. The big cats helped Satchidananda cultivate an image of holiness. “This so perfectly captures the utter fearlessness and also love of animals and nature that #SwamiSatchidananda embodied,” reads a 2017 post from the swami’s Facebook page, above a photo of

a windswept Satchidananda posing contemplatively in a field with two of Antle’s tigers. Despite this peaceful talk, it wasn’t all smooth sailing at Antle’s Buckingham zoo. Once, says Louis, “The buffalo got out. Buffaloes are not a good pet, they’re kind of crazy. I think it went right through the fence and brought a few animals with it.” “He’s not really a nice guy,” says Louis of Antle. “You probably picked that up from the publicity. He was nice to us.” The circumstances of Antle’s departure from Buckingham remain somewhat mysterious. 911 Animal Abuse suggests Antle fled the property in December 1989, leaving behind peacocks and deer. A 1990 article in The Tennessean recounts an earlier incident in which a visitor named Clint Baron had his hand mauled by a tiger—Baron filed and
then withdrew a lawsuit. Louis remembers that at one point an employee was “clawed by a bear.” Antle didn’t respond to a request for comment on this story, and Yogaville didn’t return multiple calls. (Give them a ring, and you’ll have the option of pressing 1 to make a reservation, or pressing 2 if you’re “in need of spiritual guidance.” Neither

line is interested in talking to the press, apparently.) The Netflix documentary makes serious allegations about Antle’s treatment of the employees at the sprawling Myrtle Beach Safari that he now calls home. According to Barbara Fisher, a former employee interviewed on the show, Antle pays his employees $100 a week to work 12-hour days, seven days a week. Many of his employees are young women who arrive as teenagers and never leave. The documentarians ask various people in the show how many wives Antle has, and guesses range from two to nine. In a 2007 film about the value of Satchidandanda’s teachings, Antle gives the swami’s lessons credit for his zoo operation. “Integral yoga is what has given us the tools to transform people into tiger caretakers,” Antle says. According to Fisher, “There’s this concept where a guru will touch you and you’ll become enlightened.” And Antle, she says, invoked this concept, “shakti-pa,” to get his young employees to sleep with him— “Essentially, it’s shakti-pa with penis.” Many of yoga’s most prominent gurus have faced sexual assault allegations over the decades—including Satchidananda, who in 1991 was accused by students of sexual abuse, and was met with protesters holding signs reading “End the abuse” when speaking at a conference. In the weeks since its debut, “Tiger King” has been criticized for reveling in the wild lives of its subjects and ignoring more serious abuses hiding in plain sight—abuse of both animals and people. Antle—“He’s a performer,” Louis says—knows better than anyone that tigers can be distracting.
Telemedicine keeps patients healthy from home As the number of coronavirus cases in our area multiply daily, health officials have urged anyone experiencing symptoms of the virus—fever, cough, and shortness of breath—to immediately contact their doctor. But what if you have other symptoms, suffer a minor injury, or just need a checkup? Will you still be seen by a physician? For many patients in and around Charlottesville, the answer is yes—but not in an office. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many local practices have moved their appointments online, only seeing patients in person when necessary. Since last month, Family Medicine of Albemarle has allowed both new and old patients with non-urgent issues to schedule virtual appointments. Though its staff was apprehensive at first, the appointments have “been going really great,” says office coordinator Stephanie Hall.
After patients schedule an appointment, they receive a text message and an email with a link, which lets them know what their insurance will cover and allows them to pay their co-pay in advance, Hall explains. (Those without insurance pay an out-of-pocket fee of $75.) At the time of the virtual visit, the provider’s nurse calls first to do an intake. “We check your meds, we check your allergies, we make sure you’re at home,” Hall says. Once the patient is ready, the provider, who is in a private setting at home or at the office, logs in. “It’s almost like FaceTime.” After discussing patients’ issues, the doctor or nurse practitioner may use the patients’ cameras to perform a limited physical exam, and have them take their own vital signs, if possible, as well as go over their medical history and other important information before giving a
recommendation. And like a regular doctor’s visit, all information is documented and confidential. After the appointment, “we can send in prescriptions if needed, we can order labs and X-rays if needed…[and] we can have them call us back to make a follow-up appointment in the office,” says nurse practitioner Catherine Easter of Charlottesville Gastroenterology Associates, which started using telemedicine with established patients last month.

seeing...in total for a day, maybe 10 people [do this].” For customers who don’t need to come into the store, The Happy Cook offers curbside pick-up, and free delivery for those within a 15 miles radius. It also posts nocost daily cooking tutorials on Facebook, and streams one to two hour-long cooking classes per week with a professional chef ($20 per Zoom account). “From a business perspective, it’s just challenging all around...the revenue is sustainably diminished from a regular day. Every transaction probably takes three to four times more work than it used to,” says Moshier. “But it really has been so encouraging to feel like the Charlottesville community is recognizing that, and is really trying to get behind [local businesses]...customers are going out of their way to be like ‘Hey, I don’t necessarily need this today, but I’m not affected by this financially, so I am buying these things because I want to support you.”
In order for area retailers to survive this difficult time, residents need to shop local as much as possible, not just now but long after the epidemic is over, says Elizabeth Cromwell, CEO of the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce, which has been working to provide the business community with information on loans, grants, and other forms of relief. “Everybody should look at a local organization first and see if they can fulfill your request,” says Cromwell. “And as major organizations like UVA, the city, and the county reopen in the coming months, we are certainly going to be advocating that [everyone] make a very specific effort to buy local wherever possible.” Even when you aren’t able to get what you need from an area business, “leave a review for somewhere you have shopped with on Google, Yelp, or any social media platform,” adds Stevens. “Those reviews go such a long way.”
“I’m so thankful to be a small business in Charlottesville, where people care about trying to make sure that we’re here when this is all said and done.” AMANDA STEVENS, OWNER OF SHENANIGANS TOYS & GAMES
“There was some confusion on their part about the technical requirements,” he says. “But it turned out it was just a regular old Zoom meeting!” Because Dale’s appointment was for a six-month checkup, he had set it up in advance, and did not have to go through the scheduling process. At the time of his appointment, a nurse connected with him over Zoom, and “took the basic facts,” such as his weight. Afterwards, Dale discussed his health with his doctor, who simply encouraged him to “drink less beer and get more exercise, as she would have done in person,” he says. With the ease and convenience of his first virtual appointment, Dale plans to continue to use telemedicine for his medical needs. “Lots of medicine can be delivered remotely,” he says. “Even without the plague, I would much rather do this from
my office, rather than having to go to the doctor’s office.” Dale is one of many patients who have been pleased with their virtual visits, all three medical professionals say. “[Our patients] are really grateful to know that we’re here for them, but they don’t have to leave their homes to get the help they need for their issues,” says Neal. “They also text message me a lot…[and] are just hungry for reassurance.” At Family Medicine of Albemarle, patients have also given a lot of positive feedback, and are glad to receive treatment without having to potentially expose themselves or others to the virus, says Hall. “In general, it has been a great avenue for us to be able to reach some of our patients that we would not have been able to otherwise,” adds Easter. “I hope that patients will continue, even after the COVID crisis, to use this platform.”—Brielle Entzminger

specifically for those without adequate internet or cell phone service. “Most of the issues that we’ve had have been technical difficulties, because of all the traffic on the internet, particularly during the day,” says Easter. “But it has been very limited as far as problems go.”
Telemedicine can also be challenging for those who are not tech savvy, particularly elderly patients, Hall points out. They may need help from the doctor’s office or a family member in order to set up the video call. And if all else fails, the appointment may need to be done over a regular phone call, or in person. Connecting with a patient through a screen can be difficult as well, explains Neal. “There’s a lot of information that a physician can get just from seeing someone” through a video call, she says. “[But] there’s some beauty in the unspoken information that comes from being in the room with someone...We’re also trained to do physical exams. So it’s really hard to make a diagnosis on someone without that added additional information.” For Hawkins Dale, a patient at Sentara Family Medicine, telemedicine “worked just fine.”

For other practices around town, telemedicine is nothing new. Since opening in September, Charlottesville Direct Primary Care has allowed its patients to schedule virtual appointments through an app. “When you join [our practice], you get a prompt on your phone to download the Spruce app,” says co-founder Dr. Lindsey Neal. “So a telemedicine visit for us is literally like press a button, and there we are on the screen.” Yet despite its conveniences, telemedicine comes with its own challenges,

n recent weeks, multiple local retailers, from Oyster House Antiques to Angelo Jewelers, have been forced to shut their doors due to Virginia’s stay-at-home order. But others are adopting contactless business models, and customers are still streaming in. Shenanigans Toys & Games, on West Main Street, has made the transition to online shopping. Customers can peruse items on the store’s website, then place their orders online, over the phone, or through social media. To encourage people to shop locally, the store offers free delivery for Charlottesville and Albemarle County residents, and contactless curbside pick-up for all customers, says owner Amanda Stevens. “There’s an expense to offering free delivery, and that’s something that I’m taking on in an effort to keep my customers with me [and] get by,” says Stevens. Business has been booming, and the store’s seen a rise in sales of puzzles, arts and crafts, games, and outdoor toys. Stevens also hasn’t had to lay off any employees—instead, she’s hired several more to help with deliveries. “I’m blown away by the community support,” she says. “I’m so thankful to be a small business in Charlottesville, where people care about trying to make sure that we’re here when this is all said and done.” Longtime sportswear staple Mincer’s, at The Shops at Stonefield and on the Corner, has also gone online, and offers free ship-
ping for customers who spend $10 or more. For those who live within a couple hundred miles of the store, purchases generally arrive in a day, says owner Mark Mincer. Unfortunately, the store laid off some of its staff, because business has had “a huge drop off from what we normally do,” says Mincer. The handful of people currently on staff make sure to stay in separate rooms, as they work on shipping orders, among other daily tasks. Like Shenanigans, Mincer’s has seen a big uptick in jigsaw puzzle orders, and is now sold out until next month. “It’s not going great. It’s not going terribly. But it’s going,” says Mincer. “I think things are going to get better at some point...we are trying to get one of those PPP loans from the government to try to help pay the hourly employees, especially the one who are not able to work.” “There’s [also] been some talk about possibly delaying the collection of sales tax, payroll tax, or income tax,” he adds. “If any of those due dates are postponed...it’ll definitely help.” While relying mainly on website and phone orders, The Happy Cook, in Barracks Road Shopping Center, is allowing customers to make in-store purchases, but in a limited capacity. “We are allowing ourselves to be open for intentional shopping. If people call in advance and know exactly what they’re looking for, they [can] come in, make sure that is what they want, pay, and leave, so that we aren’t having interaction with them,” says owner Monique Moshier. “We’re normally

While most of us are staying home, some locals are still heading to work, to keep essential services running. Here are eight of their stories, in their own words. Modou Secka Cashier at Oak Hill Market & Deli As told to Carol Diggs I have been working here for five years, and I have never seen anything like this. We want to stay open for our customers, so I am very careful to wipe everything down and to keep things clean. And we have the rules about distance, the tape on the floor. For us working here, they’ve given us masks, hand sanitizer, gloves, and wipes. I use the spray sanitizer on the glass doors too, that’s why they don’t look so clean as they do with Windex. And the plastic screen for the checkout counter will be coming in later this week. We’re not open as much—only from 10am to 9pm now, it used to be 7am to 11pm. But we have nice customers, they understand.

eral government and by slower responses. I’m pretty impressed with UVA’s response overall. There are areas where we wish we could go back in time [and make adjustments] that would help us now. We’ve also been blessed with time, because our wave hasn’t hit yet, unlike New Orleans or New York. We have a little more time to prepare. Something I’ve learned dealing with critically ill patients who have bad outcomes and do die sometimes, is to let myself wallow when I need to. I have days where I know I’m not going to get anything done, and I let myself be sad. We need to take the time to know what our bodies are saying to us, and to grieve not just specific patients but normal life. I’m also trying to stay working out on my water rower, and spending time with my husband, who’s a school teacher. And also wine.

Every single day is a different day. It would be totally fascinating were it not terrifying. We work 12-hour shifts in our ICU, cover 24/7, and typically take care of patients who’ve had heart and lung surgeries. Surgeons like to operate, but, three, four weeks ago, my surgeons made the decision to stop what we’re calling “electives.” Because the volume is down, I’m asking for volunteers from my team to send to the COVID unit. Six or seven advanced providers, including myself, volunteered to either go on our regularly scheduled shifts or pick up extra ones. We’ve been doing that for about three weeks now. It’s been nice to shift our resources to help our colleagues.
There are a lot of conversations at UVA and elsewhere about who should be taking care of these patients and who shouldn’t be. I have pretty severe asthma, but I feel like everybody has something going on. I have been so impressed by my colleagues who have stepped up and said “I’ll do this part,” or “I’ll do that part.” This is a team sport. I’m from southwestern Virginia and this is the hospital my parents would come to if they were very, very sick. You do it to take care of your patients and your community and lend whatever expertise you have toward patient care. I’m not a corny person— I’m actually a very sarcastic person—but, one thing I always talk about is that I’m solely motivated by patient care, and that’s really, really hard and frustrating in this. We’ve definitely been hamstrung by the fed-

When they come, and they see cars parked outside, they look in first and make sure there won’t be more than 10 people inside. If a family comes, some of them may stay outside. Many customers do come in for groceries, because they can get in and get out quick, and they don’t want to go to the big stores. And we have a great deal right now on soda. I have to make sure I’m careful when I go home, too. When I get home, I change all my clothes and wash them, wash my hands too.

Driver for JAUNT As told to Brielle Entzminger Before the epidemic, it was just the everyday hustle and bustle. People felt free to use JAUNT, and ridership was pretty steady. Now, there’s a lot less riders. I drive on the same route, but it’s been cut short. I work less hours, since there’s not as much of a demand for drivers. We aren’t charging fares at this time. Every driver has to wear masks and gloves, and sanitize their bus several times a day—the seats, walls, rails, essentially everything that people touch. Because I’m not going into the JAUNT office and socializing with my co-workers like usual, it can also be a bit isolating. When I go to work, I see the other drivers in the parking lot and make small talk for a little while, but we have to keep our distance from each other. As for the passengers, I’ve haven’t seen that many people wearing masks and
gloves, but they’ve been practicing social distancing and sitting far away from each other. We’ve also been picking up a lot of health care providers from the main facilities and transporting them. However, I feel pretty safe and at ease, because they can’t enter their facilities without being screened for virus [symptoms]. I try to stay safe and distant from everyone. But still having to go places, both for work and outside of work, it can be scary. I’ve been sleeping a lot more than usual, because my hours are a little bit different. I don’t have to go into work as early as I normally do. I try not to look at the news as much, and really try to stay away from it, because most of it is bad news. And outside of work, I’ve been staying home and trying to stay safe. It seems like it’s going to be a long time before it gets better, but I’m just hanging in there, and trying not to let it get to me. That’s all you can do.

Executive director of Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry As told to Brielle Entzminger In our normal operations, people come into the pantry and sit at a registration desk, they sign on a signature pad that’s been touched by multiple hands, and they grab a grocery cart and pick out their food. We also use 160 volunteers a week. So when the epidemic began, we realized pretty quickly that we were going to have to completely redo how we do things. We had to ask our volunteers to stay home, to reduce the chance for exposure. Now, instead of letting people shop, our staff organizes and bags the food, and puts it into grocery carts, wearing masks and gloves, so it’s ready to go when people pull

As told to Laura Longhine The Haven is a day shelter. Before, we were open to anyone in need, including those who were housed. They would sign their names on the sign-in sheet and then go about their day. Now, we are no longer able to serve the housed community. We are now greeting people outside of the door, we are temperature checking, we are asking specific questions about health. We did have two that we had to turn away—one had left New York just last week, and another who had just left Maryland. Once they are inside those doors they have to sanitize their hands, and we’re sanitizing the building, all surfaces, every hour. There’s very few of us working inside the building, because most of the guests we have are extremely vulnerable. We’re communicating with the other staff either on Zoom or phone calls or emails. We’re still interacting with the guests, but now it’s a lot different because you know we have to maintain that space. We actually put a piece of tape down by the front counter, and everybody’s covered in masks anytime they’re in the shelter.
The atmosphere is a lot quieter. I think a lot of [our guests] are concerned. I put one of the computers on the news every morning so they can keep up with everything that’s going on. It’s almost a totally different place right now. For overnight shelter, PACEM is housing the women in The Haven, and we are housing the men at Key Rec Center. All the beds were spaced six feet apart. As far as getting infected, I don’t have any concerns. Because a lot of the guests we have currently, I’ve been dealing with over a year now. I’m familiar with most of them, their health concerns. I sort of worry more going to the grocery store than I do at The Haven. I’m always in a mask. I keep hand sanitizer in my vehicle, in my jacket pocket, anywhere that I can fit hand sanitizer I typically have it. And I’m making sure that myself and the guests are continually washing our hands, not touching faces, that sort of thing. Exercise is a big stress release for me, because I have kids, I have five at home. My fiancé kind of maintains the household when I’m here. I’ve got a good support system: I’m from a large family, and the majority of us are essential workers. So we talk a lot.

into the parking lot. We’re still doing a faceto-face registration, but it’s with a clipboard—I’m the one doing that, with a mask and gloves on, and we’ve seen at least a 20 percent increase in people coming in. Our staff push a grocery cart to a car, and the people receiving the food put it into the car themselves. Staff then sanitize the cart with Lysol before loading it up with bags again. Trying to keep a distance between myself and the people who come in is pretty hard, because a lot of engines are running. You’re trying to get information from six feet away, and I can’t necessarily hear what people are saying. We’ve also seen a huge uptick in Spanish-speaking households coming for help, so I’ve recruited my daughter, who speaks Spanish, to help with that, along with one of our volunteers. I think our greatest fear as a staff is that one of us is going to infect one of our clients. We’ve had some of our older clients and ill clients come to get food, and it’s so worrying. But they have no other way of getting food. The whole thing about infecting our families scares us too. I take off everything I’ve worn to work and put it immediately in the laundry. The gloves are thrown away, and the mask also goes into the laundry. We’re all just trying to get back to our normal, as normal as we can be. I love to cook, so with my daughter and husband home, I’m making dinner all the time, and they are too. While I’m jealous that I’m not actually getting to stay home, the concept is great, because it’s making us appreciate each other more.

intubation, doing CPAP, CPR, things like that, we’re wearing N-95s and the plastic visors, as well as gowns. You talk to any health care provider, what they’re concerned about is, are you staying safe and healthy? Is your family staying safe and healthy? Are your co-workers staying safe and healthy? Because this is a quietly spreading virus, you’re worried you’re taking it home to your kids, your wife, your husband, anyone else. You see across the country all these fire departments with large portions of their staff being quarantined due to exposure. That’s my biggest concern: I’d feel bad spreading it to other people. My parents are both in their 60s, living in northern Virginia, which is a hot spot right now, so I’m concerned about them, definitely talking on the phone with them more than I used to. And the PPE shortages. Any provider is concerned about having the PPE that they need. We’ve been fortunate to have it so far. I cope by trying to learn as much as I can about what other departments, providers, and health systems are doing. But I have to pull back when I can, and focus on other stuff. My wife and I just bought a house, so we’ve been doing a lot of DIY projects. I’ll take my bike out on remote roads. A lot of streaming. Trying to read, eat well, rest, stay active. Oh, and I’ve recently joined the legions of people baking bread. [Medics] are kinda going through what everyone else is going through, making adjustments, trying to be more careful. I’d just say, take care of each other the best you can.

Before, you’d wear a mask if someone had the flu, or another confirmed illness. Now we wear one always. I’m a lot more vigilant than I used to be, because of how insidious the virus is and how it’s spread: You have to assume everyone has the virus and be good about your PPE usage. I work on the ambulance, in addition to the fire engine, directly involved in patient care and transport, so, if I’m within six feet of a patient, I’m wearing eye protection, a surgical mask, gloves, and a gown. And the patient wears a surgical mask, too. The N-95 mask shortage has been all over the news. We’re wearing N-95s when we’re doing an aerosolizing procedure, which can produce airborne [virus] particles, such as
As told to Erin O’Hare
All of the elevators I work on are hospital, medical research, or medical related. Doing my job, you could lose your life, but it’s more likely from accidents like a long fall or getting caught up in machinery. But now there’s a heightened sense of, you could lose your life and possibly usher in the death of family members, too. If I get this thing, I could bring it home. The threat is there. Not every moment of my time, or even the majority of it, is spent working around hospital elevators associated with the pandemic, but when something needs to be done [there], we play a major part in it. There are a few elevators at the hospital side that have to work at all times: the helicopter elevator, elevators that are dealing with this pandemic. There’s no getting around it. We have to wear face masks at UVA, period. But when going specifically to the hospital elevators used for patients who have the virus, I have to wear a Tyvek full bodysuit with a hood. It covers my boots and everything. I wear a surgical mask, an N-95 mask, a splash shield, latex gloves.

It’s hard to feel completely safe. Whenever you have to put on that amount of gear, you may feel physically safe, but mentally, it wears on you. The more stuff you put on, the worse you tend to feel emotionally. Every day when I get home, I take all of my clothes off and put them in a bag outside of my house—my shoes, my socks, my shirt, my pants, everything. My neighbors are getting a free show! It is what it is. I have a bucket of water and soap outside, and I wash my hands and my beard. As soon as I get into the house, I get right into the first shower downstairs before I do anything else. I’m trying to do what I can to keep my family safe. Trying to keep any exposure that I could possibly have to a minimum. I’m making a lot of music, though, trying to stay creative. Working on a lot of projects, a Nathaniel Star love album, Eros, up next. I’m spending time with my children, my family. I take my mom groceries. She has everything she needs, but I can’t hug her. She can’t hug her grandchildren. That’s been hard. You just find yourself saying, every day: “This is crazy. This is crazy.” I don’t even know what else to say. That’s on repeat.

It’s really important for people to realize that, even though there’s a pandemic, they should still be prioritizing their health— which means getting their regular medications on time, and efficiently. It’s been easy for us to come to work. I know a lot of essential workers are kind of nervous about that, but we know our patients by name, know them really well. It makes us want to come to work, to still provide their medications for them. Just letting them know to remember to take care of themselves at a time like this. We’re still open normal hours, offering all the services we normally do to our patients. We’re not letting people in the store, we’re doing curbside pickup and home delivery only. We can also mail prescriptions. The only thing we’re not currently doing is immunizations, to protect the patients. We haven’t had a huge problem getting in any medications at this time. The only one that we’re having to limit some supply of is the hydroxychloroquine. [Demand for hydroxychloroquine skyrocketed after President Trump tweeted that the drug was a “game changer” in the fight against the virus; he was referring to a French study that has since been discredited.] We got in as much as we could. It’s normally used for patients with chronic conditions like lupus. It also can be used as an anti-
malarial drug. We’re prioritizing dispensing it to patients who have been on it long-term, and need it for their chronic conditions. We’re trying to keep business here as normal as possible—still taking days off to decompress from it, though. [My go-to] is gardening and house projects, these days. And mountain biking, too. Everybody has been, honestly, so kind and generous these past couple weeks. A patient today dropped off Bodo’s, just because. I think everybody’s trying to take care of each other.

Shear temptations Hair dos…and don’ts By Erin O’Hair
“It’s a pandemic. You don’t gotta be cute for a pandemic!” But if you must, there are ways to do it, like watching YouTube tutorials for up-dos, or using bobby pins, headbands, and wraps to mix things up. “Get it poppin’ with cute little hair clips. Maybe order some from a small business,” says Wright. “For a lot of natural folks, some of us have dreams of having these big, luxurious afros. [Maybe] now’s the time to let it grow. Just do your research first.” Wright agrees that hairstyle is tied into self-care, so she’s hosting online braiding tutorials—complete with counseling on technique, products, and tools—for existing clients and anyone else who wants to tune in.

ou’ve thought about it. Looked in the bathroom mirror and considered the scissors in the drawer. Caught your reflection in a car window and wondered if you still have those clippers. Picked up a bowl and contemplated whether those ’90s cuts were all that bad. Per Governor Ralph Northam’s orders, barber shops and salons are closed as part of social distancing measures, and barbers and stylists are out of work. You trust them with shears, razors, and all manner of chemicals close to your face (not to mention your personal secrets), so trust them when they advise against cutting your own hair. Hair says a lot about a person. “If you look good, you feel good,” says Sarah Hatch, master stylist, educator, and owner of Ederra Salon. “And when people are feeling less than good,” like many are right now, “they want instant gratification, to have it done, to feel better.” She understands why people might be tempted to do their own hair, especially if they’re attending work meetings via Zoom. But Hatch says there are risks to playing salon, particularly in regards to chemical treatments like perms, straighteners, and dyes. One wrong move and you could have a lot less hair to care for. And when it comes to the cut, well, that’s complicated, too. “Hair cutting is geometry,” says Hatch. No two people have the same head of hair, and so stylists and barbers spend years learning that craft. “Face shapes and other shapes come into play, and if you have any kind of whorls or cowlicks or spins in your hair, you could think you’re cutting half an inch off, but next thing you know, it’s two inches shorter. There’s such a small margin for error, I wouldn’t recommend it.” “I can only imagine there will be hair horror stories from people trying to DIY stuff,” agrees Destinee Wright, who specializes in black hair care and runs Luxie Hair Services.
He’s created a space where his clients, many of whom are young black and Latinx men, can gather and relax, be themselves, and either choose to shoot the shit or have deeper conversations about life’s ups and downs. Cutting hair is about more than “keeping the community fresh,” says Garay. It’s about taking care of people, and he’s found that “people take care of you if you take care of them.” One of Garay’s clients has continued to pay for his weekly cuts, even though the shop’s closed. “I’ve been there for people’s funerals, I’ve been there for people’s weddings, graduations, all kinds of stuff, even just the everyday ‘need to get clean,’” says Garay. And he’s as committed as ever to supporting his clients: “If I’m not cutting hair, I’m not getting my hair cut,” he says, laughing. “We’re in this together.”

Safe at home Pets can be a comfort during the coronavirus By Mike Fietz, DVM living@c-ville.com
A
s we continue practicing social distancing and self-isolation in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, many of us are at home and spending a lot more time with our pets. They can be a tremendous comfort in a time like this; I have yet to find an antidote as soothing as my dog’s peaceful obliviousness to world events. Amidst all this, it’s natural for pet owners to wonder if they have anything to worry about. Thankfully, the short answer is no. At this time, there is no evidence that dogs, cats, or other household pets spread the virus that causes COVID-19 to people. The long answer is more confusing. Dogs can already be afflicted with their own varieties of coronavirus, most of which cause a brief bout of diarrhea.
Take me home!
But if your dog has ever been diagnosed with “kennel cough,” there’s a chance it was infected with one of the respiratory strains instead. Regardless, the symptoms are usually mild and temporary. Cats, especially those from shelter environments, are widely infected with their own coronavirus. Much like the canine version, some diarrhea is the most common symptom. But the usually mild nature of the feline coronavirus masks a frightening side. For reasons that aren’t completely understood, it can sometimes transform into a variant that causes a fatal disease called feline infectious peritonitis. These cases are relatively uncommon compared to the large numbers of cats carrying the virus, but they’re tragic all the same. While pets have their own coronaviruses, it is unclear whether they can be infected with the specific virus that causes COVID-19 in humans. A very small num-

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Most authors do their writing while sitting on chairs in front of desks. But long before there were standing desks, poet Rainer Maria Rilke and children’s author Lewis Carroll wrote their books while standing up. Novelist Henry James had eight desks, but typically paced between them as he dictated his thoughts to a secretary. And then there have been weirdos like poet Robert Lowell and novelist Truman Capote. They attended to their craft as they lay in their bed. I suggest you draw inspiration from those two in the coming weeks. It’ll be a favorable time to accomplish masterpieces of work and play while in the prone position.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): While sleeping, most of us have over a thousand dreams every year. Many are hard to remember and not worth remembering. But a beloved few can be life-changers. They have the potential to trigger epiphanies that transform our destinies for the better. In my astrological opinion, you are now in a phase when such dreams are more likely than usual. That’s why I invite you to keep a pen and notebook by your bed to capture them. For inspiration, read this testimony from Jasper Johns, whom some call America’s foremost living artist: “One night I dreamed that I painted a large American flag, and the next morning I got up and I went out and bought the materials to begin it.” (Painting flags ultimately became one of Johns’ specialties.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Ford Madox Ford was a renowned author who wrote The Good Soldier, a novel that has been called “one of the 100 greatest novels of all time.” Yet another very famous author, Henry James, was so eager to escape hanging out with Ford that he once concealed himself behind a tree so he wouldn’t be seen. You have astrological permission to engage in comparable strategies during the coming weeks. It won’t be a time when you should force yourself to endure boring, meaningless, and unproductive tasks.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): I hope that during the coronavirus crisis you have been entertaining wild truths and pondering the liberations you will initiate when the emergency has passed. I trust you have been pushing your imagination beyond its borders and wandering into the nooks and crannies of your psyche that you were previously hesitant to ex-
plore. Am I correct in my assumptions, Leo? Have you been wandering outside your comfort zone and discovering clues about how, when things return to normal, you can add spice and flair to your rhythm?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I like this quote by the author Jake Remington: “Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You cannot withstand the storm.’ The warrior whispers back, ‘I am the storm.’” Although this passage is more melodramatic than necessary for your needs in the coming weeks, I think it might be good medicine that will help you prevail over the turbulence of the coronavirus crisis. Getting yourself into a storm-like mood could provide you with the personal power necessary to be unflappable and authoritative. You should also remember that a storm is not inherently bad. It may be akin to a catharsis or orgasm that relieves the tension and clears the air.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran rapper and activist Talib Kweli says, “You have to know when to be arrogant. You have to know when to be humble. You have to know when to be hard and you have to know when to be soft.” You Librans tend to be skilled in this artful approach to life: activating and applying the appropriate attitude as is necessary for each new situation. And I’m happy to report that your capacity for having just the right touch at the right time will be a crucial asset in the coming weeks. Trust your intuition to guide you through every subtle shift of emphasis.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Scorpio artist Marie Laurencin enjoyed a colorful fate. One of the few female Cubist painters, she was a prominent figure in the Parisian avant-garde. She was also the muse and romantic partner of renowned poet Guillaume Apollinaire. But there came a turning point when she abandoned her relationship with Apollinaire. “I was 25 and he was sleeping with all the women,” she said. “And at 25 you don’t stand for that, even from a poet.” Is there a comparable situation in your life, Scorpio? A role you relish but that also takes a toll? Now is a favorable time to re-evaluate it. I’m not telling you what you should decide, only that you should think hard about it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini was a prodigious, inventive creator. One scholar wrote, “What Shakespeare is to drama, Bernini may be to sculpture.” He designed and built public squares, fountains, and build-
ings, many in Rome, which embodied his great skills as both sculptor and architect. Unlike many brilliant artists alive today, Bernini was deeply religious. Every night for 40 years, he walked from his home to pay a devotional visit to the Church of the Gesù. According to my reading of the astrological factors, now would be an excellent time for you to engage in reverential rituals like that—but without leaving your home, of course. Use this social-distancing time to draw reinvigoration from holy places within you or in your memory.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As I understand the current chapter of your life story, you have been doing the unspectacular but yeoman work of recharging your spiritual batteries. Although you may have outwardly appeared to be quiet and still, you have in fact been generating and storing up concentrated reserves of inner power. Because of the coronavirus crisis, it’s not yet time to tap into those impressive reserves and start channeling them into a series of dynamic practical actions. But it is time to formulate the practical actions you will take when the emergency has passed.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jacques Prévert offered a variation on the famous Christian supplication known as the Lord’s Prayer. The original version begins, “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” But Prévert’s variation says, “Our father who art in heaven: Stay there.” Being an atheist, he had no need for the help and support of a paternal deity. I understand his feeling. I tend to favor the Goddess myself. But for you Aquarians right now, even if you’re allergic to talk of a divine presence, I’ll recommend that you seek out generous and inspiring masculine influences. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will benefit from influences that resemble good fathering.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): How skillful are you in expressing what you want? Wait. Let me back up and reformulate that. How skillful are you in knowing what you want and expressing the truth about what you want to the people who might ultimately be able to give it to you or help you get it? This is the most important question for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. If you find that you’re fuzzy about what you want or hazy about asking for what you want, correct the problems.

gest” something, and “no known reason” to worry. This can sound like hedging, but it is born of a rational humility. The implicit acknowledgment of its own limits is why science is ultimately trustworthy. And right now, science needs some time to figure out this mess. In the meantime, at least it seems safe to cuddle up with your own pets. They’re happy to have you home.
(March 21-April 19): Aries artist Vincent van Gogh got started on his life’s work relatively late. At ages 25 and 26 he made failed attempts to train as a pastor and serve as a missionary. He didn’t launch his art career in earnest until he was 27. During the next 10 years, he created 860 paintings—an average of 1.7 every week— as well as over 1,200 additional works of art. For comparison, the prolific painter Salvador Dali made 1,500 paintings in 61 years. During the coming 12 months, Aries, you could achieve a van Gogh-like level of productiveness in your own chosen field—especially if you lay the foundations now, during our stay-at-home phase.

At this time, there is no evidence that dogs, cats, or other household pets spread the COVID-19 virus to people.
Aries
April 15 – 21, 2020 c-ville.com
ber of dogs and cats (now including a tiger at the Bronx Zoo) have tested positive for the virus, and there is some preliminary evidence that cats can transmit it to one another. But it’s still early days, and the implications remain unclear. Even if they can be infected, it is unknown whether they can readily pass it to people. Despite the global scale of the pandemic, there have so far been no known instances of people catching this virus from household pets, and that is very encouraging. At this point, you may find yourself with questions. If COVID-19 hopped over from bats, as is currently suspected, could the feline and canine coronaviruses do the same? Or could our pets become vulnerable to this pandemic? The answer is that there isn’t much to worry about in the short term, but that nothing is set in stone. Viruses change over time, and a virus that is well-adapted to one species could eventually happen upon the right mutations in the right genes to allow it to finally make the leap to another. These events are rare and represent legitimate evolutionary milestones. But as we are all currently learning, rare things happen. This is important from an epidemiological perspective, but there is no practical day-to-day response for pet owners to take. Living in constant fear of specific illnesses becoming zoonotic–transmissible between species–isn’t productive. It is more important to prevent and control zoonotic diseases that already exist. Keeping pets routinely dewormed and properly vaccinated against infections like rabies and leptospirosis will keep you and your family safer than worrying about the staggeringly unlikely odds of becoming the next patient zero. While animals remain an unlikely route of transmission for COVID-19, it remains wise to regard pets with the same social-distancing rules we are currently practicing with each other. Dogs shouldn’t be greeting each other during walks as they normally might. The risk is low, but at the very least it draws their respective people too close together. And cats should be kept indoors to be certain they haven’t encountered any people, or less likely cats, that may have been infected. It is understandable that people crave more certain answers in a time of uncertainty, but it is the nature of science–especially emerging science–to avoid absolutes. There’s always “no current evidence to sug-

These are extraordinary times. Many of us find ourselves struggling to make ends meet. We need each other more than ever before. C’Ville Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a group created so that people struggling can get the help they need. Many of us need help with things now that we used to be able to do on our own. Maybe we need help with grocery shopping, cooking or picking up prescriptions. The idea is simple. If you are in need of a little help or want to help others, join the group. Please spread the word about this group. The more people that join and post – the more people we can help. Email Barbara at bsuever@gmail.com or call at 412889-1352 to get information on how to join. “A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.” —Steve Maraboli

What have you learned about yourself in the past two weeks? I really enjoy time alone. As a full-time restaurant employee and mother of four, I didn’t have much of it. Since this began, I have been going on two hour walks alone and feel so grounded. Going on walks like that in the past felt selfindulgent because I always had something I needed to be doing at home. @BICENTENNIALTARA/INSTAGRAM
That in spite of, or because of, being quarantined, Mother Earth is beautiful, and this spring is spectacular, and we will get through this together. @LALALALALAFALALALA/INSTAGRAM
That I know how to get through another tough time.
My introversion has limits.
There’s no weakness in letting others take care of you.

I’ve learned that my quarantine life isn’t a whole lot different from my normal life. Also, I miss Bodo’s.
That the only reasoned and moral response to the American system is left-wing accelerationism.
I have learned that I really don’t mind this social distancing thing as much as I thought I would. Of course I miss many things, but I am also enjoying spending more time at home and in my immediate neighborhood, outside, and the slower pace of life. Oh, and I am much better at working from home than I thought I would be! I am also “seeing” some friends and family more than normal because we are being so intentional about keeping in touch via Zoom and Skype, etc.

I first became a believer in reverse mortgages almost 20 years ago...
(before I was in the industry) when my parents first considered doing a reverse mortgage themselves. My Mom asked me to help her do some research and that’s what started me on my path of wanting to eventually be the expert on the subject. It’s amazing to me today that I still hear the same false rumors from people sometimes that I heard two decades ago. The mortgage company does not take title to your home and yes the heirs still inherit the home upon the borrower’s passing. Those are the two most misunderstood topics. And yes the money you receive is not income so it is not taxed as some people think. Also, Medicare and Social Security are not effected by the proceeds that you receive from a reverse mortgage. And yes it’s true that you are not required to ever make a payment for as long as you live in the home. I am very patient when I speak to clients and take my time explaining everything face to face with absolutely no pressure to move forward because I remember how much my parents appreciated it when the person that they worked with showed them the same respect. I have never experienced the Sunday night blues of knowing that you are going back to work the next day as some people talk about. My job is a career that I never plan on retiring from because I genuinely enjoy working with my clients and seeing how their lives are benefitting from eliminating debt and by opening up a line of credit that can be used to help them for the rest of their lives. Every client’s story is a little bit different but they are all hoping to achieve a better life and I enjoy being a small part in that story.

NEWS & VIEWS What’s Happening Around Town? Region Ten Innovations Amidst Budget Adjustments
In light of the recent pandemic, Region Ten Community Services Board (CSB) has recently transitioned all eligible services to a telehealth platform, and is working to ensure service continuity for all of our residential consumers. Region Ten continues to provide outpatient and crisis services and is taking new clients via telehealth. In addition to meeting consumer needs in a nontraditional way, Region Ten has redeployed staff with appropriate credentials to other areas to maintain continuity of
services and fiscal stability during this unprecedented and challenging time. In communication with Region Ten staff this week, Region Ten’s Executive Director, Lisa Beitz, shared that despite enacting cost saving measures, the agency continues to face substantial deficits. “We have to make difficult choices while staying focused on the health and safety of our consumers in a climate that doesn’t allow us to maintain consistent staffing across all of our programs. “Our mission has not changed. We remain committed to prioritizing services to ensure the health and safety of our consumers and providing essential safety net services for our community.”

Louisa County: CLOSE-IN, FRIENDLY AND AFFORDABLE
FEATURE
BY KEN WILSON

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
Downtown Louisa
t’s a pretty patch of rolling Central Piedmont countryside, named after Princess Louise of Great Britain (17241751), the youngest daughter of King George II and the wife of King Frederick V of Denmark. It was home to Patrick Henry, who famously preferred death to the absence of liberty, and to Henry “Box” Brown, a slave whose ingenious escape demonstrates how much courage liberty sometimes requires. Thanks to men like these, we’re free to explore Louisa County’s 496 square miles of land and 15 square miles of water today, and when we do . . . how lovely. Stop and speak to the locals too, and it turns out that they are some of the nicest people in the Commonwealth—the kind who showed up at the public library to
reshelve books after the earthquake of 2011 (magnitude 5.8, epicenter seven miles southwest of Mineral near Lake Anna), the kind who put stuffed animals in their windows for quarantine-weary kids to spot on I-Spy sidewalk safaris. Louisa County is “a community with a lot of people who have been here for many generations and really know their family roots in the county,” says Karleen Kovalcik, Director of the Sargeant Museum in the town of Louisa. “Even the newcomers are interested in the history. I’ve been impressed that a lot of people move here and then come to the museum and say, ‘I’ve just bought this old house and I want to learn more about it and the county.’” Proud Louisans can take you to the hamlet of Cuckoo, just east of the town of Mineral, former site of the Cuckoo
Tavern, where Virginia militiaman Jack Jouett—known to some as the Paul Revere of the South—overheard British troops plotting to capture Thomas Jefferson and other officials in June of 1781. Jouett’s discovery prompted his famous ride to Charlottesville—longer and more arduous than Paul Revere’s—to warn Jefferson at Monticello. Patrick Henry practiced law in Louisa, and was representing it in the House of Burgesses in 1765 when he introduced the Virginia Stamp Act Resolutions. It was his response to the Stamp Act passed by the British Parliament to tax American colonists. “Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell, and George III may profit by their example,” Henry proclaimed to the chamber, provoking cries of “Treason!” from one legislator with royalist sympathies.
Henry “Box” Brown was even braver. Born on a Louisa plantation in 1815, Brown earned his nickname—his honorific—in 1849, escaping slavery by having himself shipped to Philadelphia abolitionists in a wooden crate. Arriving the following day, he celebrated his freedom by singing a Psalm from the Bible. Soon he was invited to speak at the New England Anti-Slavery Society Convention in Boston; later he made his living as a magician in England and the eastern United States. A half a century later, Louisa farmland was the scene of the largest all-cavalry battle of the Civil War. We can picture that 1864 battle today because much of that land is preserved as the 14,000-acre Green Springs National Historic Landmark District. Thirty-five Green Springs homes and buildings, a representative sample of rural Virginia vernacular architecture, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Zion Crossroads Situated around the intersection of I-64 and U.S. Route 15, and officially designated as the county’s growth area, Zion Crossroads has a mix of residential, commercial and industrial properties, including a Wal-Mart store, a 900,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Distribution Center, and a Lowes along with other shops, restaurants, dentist and doctor’s offices, a veterinarian, a bank and a credit union. A new water treatment facility is in the works to supply an additional 1.5 million gallons per day of James River water to the area. Zion Crossroads is also home to the 950-acre, 1,200-home golf community of Spring Creek, a private, 24-hour gated community with a nationally-recognized golf course, sports club with fitness center, 25-meter saltwater pool, sports courts, and miles of walking trails. Lots are priced from the $80 thousands. “I feel safe here,” says John Miyagawa, a grateful refugee from Northern Virginia congestion who commutes into Charlottesville from his home near Zion Crossroads. “The social services are first rate, and First Responder response time is very good. Getting into town is a hop, skip and a jump. I’m 13.5 miles and 20 minutes from Martha Jefferson Hospital; I’m 16.5 miles and 25 minutes from the Downtown Mall. The morning commute in has the sun at your back and the same is true for the return.”
Town of Mineral Simpler living can be had in the little town of Mineral, known for its gold, zinc and lead mining heritage. In busier days there were more than 15 gold mines in the area. Zinc and lead were still mined here in the 1970s. Mineral’s little Walton Park, named for former leading citizen Elizabeth Trice Walton (born in 1905), is a lovely place to picnic or hold an event. Walton is buried in stately Spring Grove Memorial Park Cemetery, a quiet place to stroll and reflect. Every July Walton Park hosts dozens of the country’s hottest pickers at the Mineral Bluegrass Festival, a threeday, family-friendly party that welcomes campers.
Town of Louisa
Lake Anna Lake Anna State Park comprises 3,127 acres with 10 miles fronting the body of water Dominion Power built back in the 70s to cool the turbines at North Anna Nuclear Power Station, now a power station serving 450,000 homes and providing 17 percent of Virginia’s electricity. Approximately 17 miles long, Lake Anna actually has over 250 miles of shore line, extending into Orange and Spotsylvania counties, and is one of the largest freshwater inland lakes in Virginia. “The community began with a bunch of summer homes,” says Patrick Hanley, owner/operator of Panamint Farm, where he raises a couple of hundred black angus cattle. With its marinas, parks, and public fishing areas, it still attracts vacationers for its boating, water sports, and what’s regarded as some of the best bass fishing in the state. Other attractions include restaurants, lodging, vineyards, golf, shopping, and hiking, plus a growing economy. While a variety of cabins and lodges bring in the tourists, others, like Hanley, live on the lake year ‘round. “It’s probably the premier community in the county,” he says. Water access in its numerous waterfront subdivisions “starts in the low $200 thousands all the way up to $2 million,” says Amy Smith, a REALTOR® with Re/Max Realty Specialists. “Retirees love it there.” More upscale county properties including large farms dot the area as well. “It’s a wonderful, rural, bucolic coun-

ty,” says Murdoch Matheson, with Frank Hardy Sotheby’s International Realty. That’s right, Sotheby’s (known for its fine art and antiques) because besides charming cottages and family-friendly neighborhoods, Louisa is home to grand estates and farms where restrictions on development ensure that what you see now is what you’ll keep on seeing, season
after beautiful season, year after year. 35 With the conservation easements put in place by the National Park Service on over 8,000 acres in Green Springs, Matheson says, “come incredible owner security. It’s always going to look like that forever, so it’s almost like going back in time.” That’s true of much of the county, where there is space to spare. All the same, the ambitious middle school kids who entered Louisa’s “If I Were Mayor” essay contest are dreaming about the future. Maeve Myers, whose winning essay is on the town website, proposes a school mentorship program to bring older students together with younger ones and the creation of a local green space like a park or community garden where kids could grow organic vegetables for the county food bank. Old helping young, neighbor helping neighbor. Doesn’t that sound like Louisa County?

Incorporated in 1873, the town of Louisa—population a little over 1,500—is understandably proud of its heritage. “We are a community that preserves and builds on our history while retaining our social fabric and small town appeal,” says the Louisa Town Council Vision Statement. “Our Main Street defines us, providing a sense of place and identity and drawing citizens together.” Louisa prides itself on being “a great place to do business,” with “a strong community, noteworthy amenities and a quickly growing marketplace.” Add that up and you have “a Progressive, Vibrant & Caring Community in the heart of Virginia,” where townspeople, like residents throughout the county, enjoy low tax rates. Points of interest include the historic Louisa Courthouse, a two-story, five-bay, porticoed Classical Revival brick home dating to 1905, and the Louisa Arts Center, the community “epicenter”—when nature waxes wroth, Louisans wax witty—of the visual, musical and performing arts. “A small town with a big heart” is how born-and-raised Louisa lover Crystal Hill, a REALTOR® with Lloyd’s Real Estate describes the town of Louisa, the county seat. “I like the community feel here,” Hill says. “I feel like there’s a lot of involvement, a lot to do here for a small town,” she adds, citing Little League and Louisa County High School football as two big community draws. Hill is also a big fan of the all-boys Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia, “a college-prep boarding school founded on Christian values” as it calls itself, where she sent her son, not for discipline, but for the great sports program. “The academy was amazing,” she says. “The brotherhood is phenomenal. The friends that he made at the school . . . it’s unbelievable.” While Hill has lived in Louisa all her life, her husband James is a native Phila-
delphian who lived in a number of places before moving here in 1998. They’re staying. “It’s different here than any other small town or city that’s he’s lived in,” she says. “You feel welcomed; people take care of each other. Everybody knows everybody. Everybody is everybody’s friend.” Crystal and James built their home right in town in the Countryside Development neighborhood in 2008. Last summer, they noticed a building boom in the area. “It’s unbelievable how many houses they’re building in here. I sold three and currently have two being built for clients. There are lot of schoolteachers in here, a lot of young families, a lot of kids. It’s a great neighborhood.” Lots in Countryside Development are “about a quarter of an acre.” Houses start at $199 thousand lot included. “I sold the biggest one in here,” Hill says, “and that was $279,000.”

Otherwise in warm weather the park is known for lively flocks of Carolina chickadees and tufted titmice, sometimes supplemented by white-breasted nuthatches, black-throated green warblers, and yellow-throated vireos. During the winter red-bellied or downy woodpeckers, northern flickers, and yellow-bellied sapsuckers may be seen. In spring the park’s wildflowers attract red-spotted purple butterflies.
