UVA is removing two fraternities, Kappa Alpha and Phi Gamma Delta, after a university investigation determined they’d engaged in hazing. Among the hazing activities the two organizations were found guilty of were spraying new members with a water hose, forcing new members to eat inedible objects, forcing them to drink beer and smoke cigarettes, and ordering new members to do push-ups and sit-ups. Several other Greek organizations at the university are under investigation for allegations of hazing and will have trials in the fall.

One president’s nemesis is another one’s hero. That’s the case with Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father and founder of the Constitution Literacy and National Unity Center, who’ll receive the Medal of Honor from President Joe Biden on July 7. Khan, whose son Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq in 2004 while serving in the U.S. Army, rose to national prominence when he gave an impassioned speech denouncing Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention in 2016, and became a target of the now-twice-impeached former president. “Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America,” Khan said to Trump. “You will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.” Undeterred by Trump’s public attacks that were publicly denounced by many, including the late Republican Senator John McCain, Khan, a Constitutional scholar, continued to speak out on the danger Trump posed to democracy. An advocate for the rule of law and religious freedom. Khan served on the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom under Biden.

hile Charlottesville is seeking ways to make housing more affordable (see p. 12), rent prices keep climbing as pandemic eviction protection and rental assistance programs end. “Just over the past month, the median rent increased by 2.3 percent. And when we look year over year, rents in Charlottesville are now up by over 12 percent, so pretty significant rent increase that we’re seeing,” housing economist Chris Salviati told NBC29. Charlottesville isn’t the only locality with rising rent prices due in part to inflation and supply chain issues. In fact, the city is still slightly under the national rise in rents, which Salviati said was around 14 percent. However, he also told NBC29 that Charlottesville’s status as a college town creates a different sort of demand and calls for a strong rental market. City Councilor Michael Payne reported that the city is taking steps to address it. “We have adopted our affordable housing strategy. We’re working on the city’s zoning rewrite and Comprehensive Plan update, which will include inclusionary zoning, affordable housing requirements,” Payne told NBC29. Payne did note that these solutions are long-term and will require a significant City Councilor Michael Payne says Charlottesville is working on solving its rising rent problem. amount of funding.

As Charlottesville schools cope with a deepening shortage of bus drivers, the administration has announced a plan to expand school walking zones. In the current plan, elementary schoolers would have to walk up to .75 miles to school and some high schoolers could walk over a mile. Other efforts include encouraging students to ride their bikes to school and asking older students to use other public transportation.

n the past few decades, rising housing costs have forced many families who have lived in Charlottesville for generations to move out of the city. They’ve left for Louisa, Fluvanna, and Greene counties and the City of Waynesboro, localities close enough to commute to Charlottesville but where the cost of living is more in line with the median incomes. Rachel has lived in the Charlottesville area her whole life. Now 25, she works as a barista and supplements her income with freelance marketing, brand management, and digital content editing. Growing up, she says, her family could afford to live in Albemarle County, but when she was 15, they moved to Charlottesville. “We were unable to afford to rent a home to live in, but we were able to find an apartment,” Rachel says. As an adult, she has found that one-bedroom and studio apartments in areas near bus lines are close to the same price her parents paid for a twobedroom apartment on the outskirts of the city 10 years ago. According to the census, Charlottesville’s median gross rent from 2016-2020 was $1,188. For comparison, in Boston, among the most expensive housing markets in the country, the median gross rent those same years was $1,685. According to Rentdata.org, the Charlottesville fair market rent area is more expensive than 95 percent of the state of Virginia. Owning is no easier for lower- and middleincome households. According to the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors, in the first quarter of 2022, the median sale price of homes in Charlottesville was $412,00 and the median home price is $75,000 higher than it was two years ago. Affordability and equity are among the most pressing matters for City Council as it works to implement its new Comprehensive Plan. This document, required by the state for every Virginia locality every five years, for the first time addresses injustices in housing opportunities, and strives to tackle the affordable housing problem. Beyond housing, the city’s new Comprehensive Plan covers topics such as land use, transportation, communities, and housing as a vision for the next several years. In Charlottesville, the Planning Commission works to create the plan and then advises City Council on its implementation. In November 2021, City Council unanimously voted to adopt the 2021 Comprehensive Plan Update. Affordable housing has emerged as the city’s key issue over the past five years, says Rory Stolzenberg, who has served on the Charlottesville Planning Commission since 2018. After the Unite the Right rally in August 2017, Stolzenberg says “we started to hear from a much broader set of voices in the community.”
In 2018, the Planning Commission completed a housing needs assessment and extended the Comprehensive Plan process. The assessment found that demand significantly exceeded supply. For households earning less than 60 percent of the area median income, the assessment found the market shortcomings are forcing those households to spend too much of their income for housing, live in overcrowded or substandard housing conditions, move outside the city to find less expensive housing, or face homelessness. In 2019, City Council brought on consultants to help create an Affordable Housing Plan, and assist in finishing the Comprehensive Plan. In the Affordable Housing section, the completed 2021 Comprehensive Plan calls for a pledge of at least $10 million per year for the next 10 years for affordable housing. In 2022, City Council dedicated $10.6 million in subsidy and tax relief, meeting the goal outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Direct subsidies are distributed among various nonprofits and divided between development projects to create more affordable housing and funding for homelessness services, down-payment assistance programs to allow families to buy homes, and home repairs and energy retrofits. Beyond the goal of funding, Stolzenberg emphasizes the importance of land use and zoning to create change and increase affordability. In 1955, the city first hired Harland Bartholomew & Associates to clear out lower-income neighborhoods from the center of the city. The firm recommended street enlargement and made zoning more exclusive. It also directed Charlottesville’s first urban renewal project in Vinegar Hill, a working-class Black neighborhood. In 1965, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority razed the entire neighborhood. The destruction led to the displacement of over 500 residents and 40 businesses and churches. Seeking to reverse the damage wrought, the 2021 plan eases restrictions on housing

Rory Stolzenberg, who’s served on the Charlottesville Planning Commission since 2018, says he hopes the city eventually gets to a place where it doesn’t need to ration affordable housing.
density and expands accepted affordable housing types. The Future Land Use Map is meant to be implemented into specific law through zoning districts. The map calls for triplexes to be legal on lots in the city, and for more housing in certain designated areas. This new map has created controversy and prompted hundreds of public comments. The group Citizens for Responsible Planning argues that “the draft plan does not indicate how increased density will lead to affordable housing as opposed to more expensive development.” In December, several anonymous Charlottesville property owners filed a lawsuit against the city in response to the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map they claim fails to be “general in nature” and to supply adequate transportation infrastructure with increased density. The plaintiffs live in areas designated as medium and higher intensity residential and want to remain in lower density areas. The city responded in April, asking the court to reveal the identities of the plaintiffs, and releasing a formal objection to the legal basis of the case. The plan focuses on adding significantly more housing in areas where housing is already expensive, so that if there is an increase in land prices, homeowners in those areas will be less likely to be displaced from a resulting tax increase. People will be incentivized to keep existing units, and can earn additional income through leasing accessory dwelling units in their backyards. The map designates sensitive areas that are more at risk of displacement in higher minority and lower-income areas. Stolzenberg hopes council will implement more inclusionary zoning requirements regulating a minimum number of affordable units in any future developments. Increased awareness of discriminatory housing policy is reflected throughout the new Comprehensive Plan. The word equity was used just three times in the 2013 plan, but it was used 85 times in the new Comprehensive Plan. Stolzenberg says the role of equity is the foundation of the plan, and central to the instructions given to the consulting team. The census cites an owner-occupied housing rate in Charlottesville of 40.1 percent, making homeowners a minority. “There are many more renters than homeowners, but they’re traditionally not part of the process, and their concerns aren’t as central to the decisions policymakers are making right now,” Stolzenberg says. In writing the current Comprehensive Plan, a great effort was made to receive input from residents who are at risk of being pushed out and cannot afford to live in a home in the city. According to citydata.com, i n 2019, the median household income in Charlottesville was $61,261, which was 24.8 percent less than the state’s median annual income of $76,456.

Charlottesville seeks ways to make housing more affordable
Another player in the affordable housing plan is the Charlottesville Redevlopment and Housing Authority. Most of its funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and it received $3 million from City Council in 2022. Betsy Roettger, the assistant dean of students and a lecturer in the urban and environmental planning department at UVA, served two terms as a commissioner on the CRHA. As a board member, Roettger advised the executive director, helped maintain financial stability, wrote grants, and made partnerships with other affordable housing providers. Though the board is supposed to be looking strategically to the future, Roettger says “because the state of housing is so unpredictable and chaotic and they are so underfunded, there ended up being a lot of emergency situations.” For instance, she remembers an air conditioner went down in a building, and the CRHA had to scramble to keep people cool. Roettger describes affordable housing as a ladder, where “the median income a person makes translates into what type of housing they can apply for.” The CRHA serves about 1,000 families within 0-30 percent of the area median income, and Piedmont Housing serves those earning between 40 and 80 percent of area median income. Habitat for Humanity focuses on home ownership, requiring people to have higher and more stable incomes to quality. There are 376 public housing units that are cleaned and maintained by the city, but the city cannot add more public housing units due to the Faircloth Amendment, a provision to the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, which prevents housing authorities from constructing further public housing units than existed in 1999. The city can, however, implement more Section 8 vouchers. Because HUD sets the standard market rate and provides subsidies, residents often struggle to locate affordable apartments. When they’re forced to leave the city to find a place they can afford with their voucher, it often means less access to transportation and other infrastructure for those who work in Charlottesville. Roettger says organizations must not just focus on one piece of the affordable housing challenge, but work together to help residents move from public housing to Section 8 vouchers to market rate units.

The growth of the University of Virginia Medical Center has displaced many residents from the 10th and Page (above) and Fifeville neighborhoods.
by Robert Charles Lesser and Co., it was found that “Charlottesville’s upper-income earners are buying houses at lower prices than they can afford.” One of Rachel’s siblings, who works for UVA, moved to Fluvanna County to find an affordable house to raise a family. With two incomes, “it surprises me that they are unable to find a place to afford in the area,” Rachel says. Through the President’s Council on UVACommunity Partnerships, the university has established a goal of developing 1,000-1,5000 affordable units over the next decade on university-owned land. Roettger does not think the university has done well in the past, but she’s hopeful that UVA President Jim Ryan could make positive change. He “has brought fresh hope and energy into generally working with the community and acknowledging a mutual arrangement: you have the university, the people working at the university, and everyone is connected,” she says. Thinking about the future of affordable housing in Charlottesville, Stolzenberg says he’s “hopeful we’ll start to turn things around from the policy perspective. I think we have already started that process.” Ten million dollars will likely not be enough to address all families below 50 percent of the area median income, but he says the rest of households should not be left out in the cold. The current voucher system has a multiyear waitlist and can only address a certain portion of the population below the area median income. If rent decreases, a higher percentage of people below the area median income won’t receive vouchers. Because the city will be paying a lower percentage, it will be able to assist more households. Stolzenberg hopes the city can get to a place where there is no need to ration affordable housing. Charlottesville has started to give out more subsidies, but zoning law has not yet changed. Stolzenberg is hopeful the city can reverse the current housing market trend but does not see a solution where Charlottesville can make sure every family is securely housed in the near, linear future without significantly scaling up policy solutions beyond the present status.

Westhaven, the city’s oldest public housing development, is in the shadow of The Standard, one of the off-Grounds student apartment buildings that have cropped up in recent years.
for tenants with less than 60 percent of the area median income. Perhaps the biggest player in Charlottesville’s affordable housing crisis is UVA. The health system is the largest employer in the city and the county, and along with the professors and support staff, thousands of students come to live here during the academic year. UVA has traditionally provided enough housing for all first years, and only some housing for upperclassmen. Over the last several decades, the school’s student population has ballooned. Students have moved outward, beyond traditional off-Grounds housing, and have moved into places that have been occupied by families in the community. This process drives up rent in those areas and displaces families. In the post-recession era, after UVA’s massive growth, many national student housing developers have redeveloped lots, such as The Standard and the Flats at West Village. Though some are billed as luxury, much of off-Grounds housing is cheaper than that on-Grounds. Stolzenberg says if UVA accommodates the students, they will not spread outward. However, Roettger explains that many Charlottesville residents fear further encroachment; The Standard looms over Westhaven, the city’s oldest public housing development. The Standard contributes $500,000 to city coffers each year in real estate taxes. Because UVA is a nonprofit, it doesn’t pay taxes, so some City Council members propose requiring the university to pay into the city’s affordable housing funds. Further, UVA is not subject to zoning laws, and Stolzenberg fears it will continue to encroach further into the community for additional student housing rather than adding density to the current dorm locations. The university has recently bought property along Ivy Road west of Emmet Street, and if it builds housing in that area, that takes properties off the city tax roll. UVA’s role in the affordable housing crisis has complex historical roots. The growth of its medical center has displaced many residents from Fifeville and 10th and Page.

Though it does not always guarantee affordability, density helps with construction costs. But density can have implications on preexisting sites. On South First Street, a site with mostly two-story townhomes, the city opted for as much density as possible in the redevelopment project. But the CRHA pushed back and supported residents in a plan with more units, while also maintaining front and back yards. Additionally, HUD suggests mixing income as much as possible, with the view that this will help lower-income people move up the ladder. Because the city can’t build more units, it can either add tax-credit units or marketrate units. But in Charlottesville, Roettger says communities are much smaller, and people have created “supportive, cooperative friendships and generational ties to these neighborhoods.” The Housing authority pushed back on HUD’s recommendations, and instead of adding market-rate units, there will be a mix of public housing units and tax-credit units

“When I first came on, everyone was fighting for city funds,” Roettger says, “but it would be great if we all work together.” In Charlottesville, the Housing Authority is separate from City Council, so there has been some friction between the two groups, depending on leadership. The CRHA, like the Planning Commission, has recently worked to better include residents’ voices in the conversation and decision-making process. Roettger explains that residents were not traditionally treated well, so recently, the Housing Authority has worked with the Public Housing Association of Residents, a neighborhood leadership group, to maintain the 376 units and prevent displacement during redevelopment. The CRHA is focused on big redevelopment projects so residents can move into new housing while their units are being renovated or rebuilt. When it comes to density, from Roettger’s perspective, the more people you can fit, the more people you can serve.

New Jersey-bred singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins captured the romance and danger of the Jersey Shore’s sprawling boardwalk with psych-rock grooves, girl-group melodrama, and a bit of honky-tonk on her 2020 release Italian Ice. Not ready to let the sounds of summer go, a year later Atkins released Memphis Ice—a stripped-down, cabaret-style reimagining of the songs that let her voice shine. “I love rock music, but the way I really like to sing is long notes,” Atkins says. “And you can really only do that over pianos and more orchestral-type arrangements. I can try all these different styles and put on different outfits...but at the end of the day, it comes back to me and my voice.” $18-20, 8pm.

Ti Ames returns to the theater that helped them through difficult times

A decade and a half after first encountering musical theater at Live Arts as an elementary schooler, Ti Ames returns to the organization as its new education director.

ifelong thespian Ti Ames was never comfortable with their casting.
First, as an African American, Ames was long frustrated never to be cast in Black roles. There just weren’t all that many to cast, Ames says, and “unless you are told otherwise, you are playing a white character.” Second, as a young person still learning who they were, Ames was uncomfortable in traditionally gendered casting. “I was always put in the position where I wasn’t an ingénue, because I wasn’t skinny and light,” they say. “There were a lot of roles I couldn’t play growing up. I was always put in the role of mother or servant—or man.” Still, while it was theater that brought Ames some discomfort, it was also theater that eventually helped them learn who they were. Now, a decade and a half after first encountering musical theater at Live Arts as an elementary schooler, Ames returns to the organization as its new education director. Ames takes over the role from Miller Susen and will oversee Live Arts’ education program for adults and youth. That includes programming classes, camps, and workshops, overseeing volunteer education,
arranging student internships, and coordinating the theater’s mentor/apprentice program. “I’m 26 and still trying to figure out what I want to be, and this job is part of that,” Ames says. Ames has been involved with Live Arts, first attending summer camps and classes, later working as a camp counselor during college, and most recently directing shows and teaching in Susen’s education department, for 16 years. Before moving back to Charlottesville and taking the new job, Ames had earned a degree at Oberlin College and Conservatory in Ohio and then completed a guest artist position there. “[They are] talented, gifted, and totally ready for this position,” Oberlin theater department chair Caroline Jackson Smith said when Live Arts named Ames its education director. “They are a brilliant actor/singer and an accomplished director. They are so clear, prepared, and organized.” After moving back to Charlottesville post-college, Ames designed and taught an African American History course at Renaissance High School and began giving vocal lessons at The Front Porch. They have also taught theater workshops and coached vocal students at Monticello and Charlottesville high schools.
Ames served as Live Arts’ interim education director before moving into the position full-time, making them uniquely qualified. “Ti has a depth of experience that belies their years,” Live Arts Executive Director Anne Hunter says. “They are passionate about theater and kids and widely respected at Live Arts and in the community.” Ames says their family’s roots run deep in Charlottesville, with their mom’s paternal family being enslaved in the area. Ames’ great grandmother lived in Midway Manor when they were in elementary school, and their single mother would leave them at home on summer days. That’s when Ames, age 9, would walk down the hill to attend Live Arts camps, then head back up afterward to meet mom at the end of the day. Ames’ mother introduced them to singing and performing at an even earlier age. A pastor who founded a church and a singer herself, Ames’ mom also had a public access show. She asked her to sing in church and perform in various ways on air. Ames joined the local chamber chorus, Virginia Consort, when they were 12. They won a Shakespeare competition at 16, earning a summer study program at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. It wasn’t until Ames attended Oberlin, double majoring in theater and African studies, that they figured out they were nonbinary. “I realized I was not very comfortable playing women anymore,” they say. “When I finally understood what it meant, it meant I wasn’t crazy, that I wasn’t necessarily born in the wrong body. It changed how I thought about myself in the world.” Ames says they gained confidence in their body. They knew many people wouldn’t understand them. They hoped some would. Still, Ames had more to learn about themself. Since returning to Charlottesville, they began doing productions with the Charlottesville Players Guild, and it wasn’t until then that Ames first played a Black character on stage. They went on to direct the Macbeth adaptation Black Mac at CPG, and later staged an original radio play, See About the Girls. Ames says their new position at Live Arts stands to serve as a place for further growth. “My main thing as education director here is to expand on the process, not the product,” Ames says. “I think that kids deserve the process. And adults that were never given a chance deserve the process— to be heard, validated, and tell stories that make sense to them.”

F
or fans of writer/director David Cronenberg’s films, his newest, Crimes of the Future, is cause for celebration. It’s 100 percent unadulterated Cronenberg, and marks a return to the subgenre he essentially invented: body horror— unsettling excursions into human biology in revolt against itself. And for those unversed in Cronenberg, this will be a thought-provoking, observant, shocking, funny, and rewarding experience. Set in a run-down future, the film focuses on performance artists whose specialty is physically altering themselves in front of audiences. Among them, Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) develops entirely new organs that his performing partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux) surgically removes. As Tenser prepares for more groundbreaking shows, he works undercover with a detective in the NVU—New Vice Unit—seeking out a dangerous cult intent on developing a unique breed of human. If all this sounds surreal, it is, in the best possible sense. Although it’s not a masterpiece, this is Cronenberg’s finest, most peculiarly inventive film since his excellent Existenz. It feels like it was made decades beyond
2022, or was designed for another, humanlike species. Cronenberg aficionados will recognize echoes of his great works here, including Videodrome, The Brood, and The Fly. As in those films, he eschews preachiness and didacticism in Crimes of the Future, in favor of pointed observation. That’s not to say it’s cold or nihilistic—it’s neither—just that he doesn’t lecture his audience: He imaginatively extrapolates on current trends in his own unique, intense, and wryly witty voice. His latest is loaded with dark comedy and is distinctly Cronenbergian with expressions like “best original organ,” or “designer cancer.” And, in his inimitable way, if there’s a place the audience might consider too shocking, Cronenberg immediately goes there. Crimes of the Future is a refreshing reminder of how wonderful it is to see a gifted director allowed to express his personal vision without dull studio interference. The film is devoid of pandering, and never insults its audience’s intelligence, successfully commenting on everything from humankind’s adaptability to the most hideous environments, to the pretentious side of performance art—better still, it actually leaves you thinking. The cast has no weak links. Mortensen eloquently physicalizes Tenser’s torturous occupation and its physiological hazards.
Kristin Stewart is hilarious as jittery bureaucrat Timlin, a kind of surgical groupie, and Don McKellar is very good as her boss, Yevgeny Nourish. (Odd names like these are another Cronenberg hallmark.) Also outstanding are Nadia Litz and Tanaya Beatty as the dryly funny repairwomen Router and Berst. The unsung hero of Crimes of the Future, though, is Cronenberg’s longtime production designer Carol Spier, whose contributions to his movies are incalculably important. For decades, Spier has ingeniously
Crimes of the Future
R, 107 minutes Streaming (Google Play, Vudu)
shown the unshowable, to borrow one of the director’s phrases. Her ability to give his highly abnormal worlds believable form is the stuff of genius. Crimes of the Future will likely appall viewers with weak stomachs. But Cronenberg’s violence and sexuality possess a sensibility, and that makes all the difference. Unlike so many outstanding horror filmmakers who slid into making junk in their elder years, 79-year-old Cronenberg’s chops—no pun intended—are strong. He still really delivers.
For those unversed in Cronenberg, this will nonetheless be a thoughtprovoking, observant, shocking, funny, and rewarding experience.

DOWN WHAT’S DELISH AT LOCAL WINERIES?
CHISWELL FARM WINERY 2021 Sparkling Rosé A beautiful pale pink, this delightful bubbly smells of ripe strawberry and cranberry. Fizzy and light, the palate showcases pink floral notes with strawberry, red currant, and pink grapefruit. Enjoy as a toast, or pair with summer salads, shrimp cocktail, or a seafood boil! With a glass in hand, enjoy the beautiful scenery from our lawn, or a cozy chair inside, where you’ll discover a variety of inviting spaces. While indoor seating is limited, there are many options for outdoor seating, including rocking chairs on the covered porch and dining tables on the lawn for small groups. You’re also welcome to bring your own folding chairs and blankets to sit further out on the hill. All seating is first-come, first-served. Ages 21+, no dogs or other pets permitted on the property. For a family-friendly experience, visit our wine shops at Chiles Peach Orchard or Carter Mountain Orchard. Wine is currently available by the glass, flight, or bottle.

This wine is incredibly versatile and pairs well with many foods. Some of our recommendations include chicken skewers with grilled vegetables from your garden or local farmer’s market, a smash burger or grilled hot dog, a leafy garden salad with a lemon vinaigrette, cheese & charcuterie boards, spicy Thai dishes, shrimp or fish ceviche, and so much more.

2020 Rosé Trio In the month of May, we’re releasing our trio of rosés: the Quintessential, Gentle Press, and Barrel Aged. The Quintessential rosé is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, and is done in a traditional style of Provencal rosés with light notes of strawberry and lavender. The Gentle press and Barrel Aged rosés are both comprised of Chambourcin, but are fermented and aged very differently. The Gentle press has a pale pink color, with tart notes of watermelon candy. The Barrel Aged rosé has a deep rich rose pink tone, and warming spices accompanied by raspberry on the palate.

By Rob Brezsny
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, here’s your assignment for the next three weeks: Love yourself more and more each day. Unleash your imagination to come up with new reasons to adore and revere your unique genius. Have fun doing it. Laugh about how easy and how hard it is to love yourself so well. Make it into a game that brings you an endless stream of amusement. P.S.: Yes, you really are a genius—by which I mean you are an intriguing blend of talents and specialties that is unprecedented in the history of the human race.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Lydia Peelle writes, “The trouble was, I knew exactly what I wasn’t. I just didn’t know who I was.” We all go through similar phases, in which we are highly aware of what we don’t want, don’t like, and don’t seek to become. They are like negative grace periods that provide us with valuable knowledge. But it’s crucial for us to also enjoy periods of intensive self-revelation about what we do want, what we do like, and what we do seek to become. In my astrological estimation, you Virgos are finished learning who you’re not, at least for now. You’re ready to begin an era of finding out much, much more about who you are.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need the following experiences at least once every other day during the next 15 days: a rapturous burst of unexpected grace; a gentle eruption of your strong willpower; an encounter with inspiration that propels you to make some practical improvement in your life; a brave adjustment in your understanding of how the world works; a sacrifice of an okay thing that gives you more time and energy to cultivate a really good thing.
Scorpio
Cancer (June 21-July 22): As a child, Cancerian author June Jordan said, “I used to laugh all the time. I used to laugh so much and so hard in church, in school, at the kitchen table, on the subway! I used to laugh so much my nose would run and my eyes would tear and I just couldn’t stop.” That’s an ideal I invite you to aspire to in the coming days. You probably can’t match Jordan’s plenitude, but do your best. Why? The astrological omens suggest three reasons: 1. The world will seem funnier to you than it has in a long time. 2. Laughing freely and easily is the most healing action you can take right now. 3. It’s in the interests of everyone you know to have routines interrupted and disrupted by amusement, delight, and hilarity.
birds and talk about birds. Use your imagination to conjure up fantasies in which you soar alongside birds.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In accordance with current astrological omens, I have four related suggestions for you. 1. Begin three new projects that are seemingly beyond your capacity and impossible to achieve with your current levels of intelligence, skill, and experience—and then, in the coming months, accomplish them anyway. 2. Embrace optimism for both its beauty and its tactical advantages. 3. Keep uppermost in mind that you are a teacher who loves to teach and you are a student who loves to learn. 4. Be amazingly wise, be surprisingly brave, be expansively visionary—and always forgive yourself for not remembering where you left your house keys.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19): If you ever wanted to use the Urdu language to advance your agendas for love and romance, here’s a list of endearments you could use: 1 jaan-e-man (heart’s beloved); 2. humraaz (secret-sharer; confidante); 3. pritam (beloved); 4. sona (golden one); 5. bulbul (nightingale); 6. yaar (friend/ lover); 7. natkhat (mischievous one). Even if you’re not inclined to experiment with Urdu terms, I urge you to try innovations in the way you use language with your beloved allies. It’s a favorable time to be more imaginative in how you communicate your affections.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author John Berger described birch trees as “pliant” and “slender.” He said that “if they promise a kind of permanence, it has nothing to do with solidity or longevity—as with an oak or a linden—
but only with the fact that they seed and spread quickly. They are ephemeral and recurring—like a conversation between earth and sky.” I propose we regard the birch tree as your personal power symbol in the coming months. When you are in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms, you will express its spirit. You will be adaptable, flexible, resourceful, and highly communicative. You will serve as an intermediary, a broker, and a go-between.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People who don’t know much about astrology sometimes say that Pisceans are wishy-washy. That’s a lie. The truth is, Pisceans are not habitually lukewarm about chaotic jumbles of possibilities. They are routinely in love with the world and its interwoven mysteries. On a regular basis, they feel tender fervor and poignant awe. They see and feel how all life’s apparent fragments knit together into a luminous bundle of amazement. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to relish these superpowers of yours—and express them to the max.
Aries (March 21-April 19): My readers and I have collaborated to provide insights and inspirations about the topic “How to Be an Aries.” Below is an amalgam of my thoughts and theirs—advice that will especially apply to your life in the coming days. 1. If it’s easy, it’s boring.—Beth Prouty 2. If it isn’t challenging, do something else.—Jennifer Blackmon Guevara 3. Be confident in your ability to gather the energy to get unstuck, to instigate, to rouse for others as well as yourself. 4. You are a great initiator of ideas, and you are also willing to let go of them in their pure and perfect forms so as to help them
come to fruition. 5. When people don’t get things done fast enough for you, be ready and able to DO IT YOURSELF.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): I know three people who have told me, “I don’t like needing anyone for anything.” They fancy themselves to be rugged individualists with impeccable self-sufficiency. They imagine they can live without the help or support of other humans. I don’t argue with them; it’s impossible to dissuade anyone with such a high level of delusion. The fact is, we are all needy beings who depend on a vast array of benefactors. Who built our houses, grew our food, sewed our clothes, built the roads, and create the art and entertainment we love? I bring this up, Taurus, because now is an excellent time for you to celebrate your own neediness. Be wildly grateful for all the things you need and all the people who provide them. Regard your vigorous interdependence as a strength, not a weakness.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Bounce up and down when you walk. Express 11 different kinds of laughs. Be impossible to pin down or figure out. Relish the openings that your restlessness spawns. Keep changing the way you change. Be easily swayed and sway others easily. Let the words flowing out of your mouth reveal to you what you think. Live a dangerous life in your daydreams but not in real life. Don’t be everyone’s messenger, but be the messenger for as many people as is fun for you. If you have turned out to be the kind of Gemini who is both saintly and satanic, remember that God made you that way—so let God worry about it.

CentralComeVirginia’s Home to Your Favorite Lakes: BY CARLA HUCKABEE
H
THE REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.C-VILLE.COM
e spent a career working at a nuclear power plant and never dreamed he’d be vacationing at one or buying a home nearby. Looking for a vacation spot for his extended family that was not too far from Pennsylvania and DC, he discovered Lake Anna. And he was happy to note it had easy access to an airport for far-flung family members. He and his wife booked a home that could accommodate 22 people for early spring as a dry run. Enthralled, they booked another week in late summer for the whole family. Now they may buy a second home there. And they aren’t alone. The lakes of Central Virginia often turn longing vacationers into gratified homeowners.
Lake Anna Seventeen miles long and covering 13,000 acres, Lake Anna is the second largest lake in Virginia. Just 72 miles south of Washington, it is a welcome retreat from the hectic pace of Northern Virginia, affording residents and guests calm waters or exciting outdoor adventures. It’s even close enough to many urban centers for a daily commute. The 200 miles of shoreline are dotted with communities offering extensive dining and shopping. More than 15 miles of trails beckon hikers to Lake Anna State Park, where they can also enjoy fishing,
a tour of the Goodwin Gold Mine, or lounging on the beach. Most people wouldn’t pay much attention to the nuclear power plant operating on the western shore of Lake Anna, except that Dominion Energy’s North Anna Nuclear Power Station creates a major spike in the water temperature. North Anna draws water from the “public/cold side” of the lake to cool the power station’s generators and discharges it back to the lake creating a “warm/private side.” The water temperature in mid-June
was 80 degrees on the cool side and 96 degrees on the warm side. The public (cool) side of the lake has marina access to the water, while the private (warm) side can only be accessed by private ramps within housing communities. In general, Lake Anna is a warm water haven. But buyers need to decide just how warm they like their water. Homeowners and vacationers may find the summertime water too spa-like on the warm side, but love being able to take advantage of early and late season swimming. After
four summers of algal blooms, residents are welcoming a treatment and prevention plan to improve water quality. It’s an easy choice to vacation here, and even easier to make that vacation permanent by buying a home. As an investment option, owners can command rentals of $1,000 per night with the right location and configuration. The inventory for existing homes is low. Buyers can get a waterfront home ranging from about $500,000 to $2 million or more. Lots for custom-built

Lake Louisa Don’t overlook Lake Anna’s cousin, Lake Louisa, a small neighborhood-sized lake 25 miles to the west. Blue Ridge Shores is a private gated community built around the lake, where residents enjoy a small-town feel with resort-style amenities. The community is compact and efficient with only five miles of shoreline packing a boatload of fun. The main marina accommodates 38 boats and there are another 15 slips elsewhere on the
lake. Water skiing, tubing, swimming, and boating draw in all ages. Bass, carp, catfish, and perch attract anyone with a fishing pole and license. Many residents have a golf cart parked in the garage to get around the community. Three beach areas offer permanent umbrellas, picnic tables, and playground equipment. The community center hosts an engaging slate of activities catering to the interests of residents. With fewer than 500 homes, turnover and for-sale inventory is always low, even more so in the current market. So timing is critical for a buyer to snag a home in this affordable community. Lots start at under $15,000 and homes from $250,000.

well as close proximity to Roanoke and Lynchburg and quite a few colleges and universities.” Just under half of the population are full-time residents. Campbell says, “Many of our properties are second homes or vacation rentals, but we have a large fulltime residency here. We also have a really great sense of community. “Our market here is similar to the rest of the country. We are still dealing with low inventory and increased prices. Lake houses are going to run you anywhere from $599,000 all the way up to $2 or $3 million.” Buyers can choose between a more rural or developed location. Franklin County on the north and west side of the lake offers more shopping and restaurants. Enjoy camping, boat rentals, hiking trails, guided night hikes, and canoe trips at Smith Mountain Lake State Park along the northern shore. The September 17-18 Smith Mountain Lake Wine Festival at Mariners Landing Resort and Country Club gives potential buyers a great reason to come down to SML to explore all the benefits homeownership on the lake offers.

Lake Monticello Jump up in size and another county to the west to Lake Monticello. Boasting 22 miles of shoreline, five beaches, and a golf course, it is the largest community in Fluvanna County. The marina, clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and sports fields offer year-round fun and games for nearly 11,000 residents. Some residents were drawn to the lake for its affordability and all the amenities were a pleasant bonus. Resident Merieke Henry first looked at Lake Monticello because it was close to Charlottesville but so much more affordable. With the rich amenities and the comparatively affordable housing and real estate taxes, the demand for houses at Lake Monticello far outstrips the supply. Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker/Owner of Monticello Country Real Estate, Inc. explains, “The market is like the rest of the country right now, with low inventory and buyers waiting for the right home. We are seeing a drop in first-time home buyers as the interest rates have pushed some out of the current market. “At Lake Monticello, the market remains strong. Homes are selling in an average of a week, waterfronts even faster. Most waterfront buyers are coming in with cash so are not worried about the interest rates. We show the waterfront homes by boat. They are selling for over the asking price and there is a wait for waterfronts at this point. Most waterfront owners stay in their homes until circumstances force them to leave.” Summer is one of the best times of the year to be a homeowner at Lake Monticello. Their annual 4th of July celebration brings residents together in a big way. Wilson says, “We just had a whole weekend of events. The boat parade is my favorite. We get a boatload of people and go around with decorated boats and visit
the shoreline. We have water fights from the boat to the shore with squirt guns and water cannons. We play patriotic music and have a ball.” July 4th isn’t the only time residents celebrate. It’s just emblematic of the fun-natured vibe that emanates from this lake community. Wilson says, “There are so many things to enjoy. I live next to one of the beaches and have my pontoon boat docked at a slip. We can walk down anytime and enjoy it. Sunsets are fantastic, as well as dropping anchor in a cove and swimming off the boat.” Trees and living close to nature are part of the appeal. “I enjoy the ducks and wildlife in my yard,” says Wilson. “Lake Monticello is a place you can ‘Vacation Year Round.’ I have moved my entire life but have called Lake Monticello home for over 24 years. I have raised my twins here and they continue to enjoy the lake as well.” Like many residents, once you find Lake Monticello, you can’t get it out of your system. “My parents introduced us to the lake back in the early 80s and we fell in love. We were fortunate enough to move here when our kids were young.”
Get your ducks in a row now, so you too can be one of the fortunate Lake Monticello homeowners.
Smith Mountain Lake Head southeast of Roanoke to find 20,000 acres of pristine water and more than 500 miles of shoreline. Called the “Jewel of the Blue Ridge,” it is one of the largest, deepest, and cleanest lakes on the southeast coast. From end to end, the lake offers boaters 40 miles of navigable water. Closer to North Carolina than DC, the lake attracts vacationers and owners equally from both north and south. Amy Campbell is a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Lake Front Realty and an Ambassador with the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce. “I have lived in the SML area for 20 years, moving here after college with my husband who already owned a home here. “SML is special because you have the benefit of being in the mountains and at the lake at the same time. We also have good weather with a little bit of snow in the winter and a few really hot weeks in the summer. But most of the time it’s pretty moderate.

LOW is rich in amenities!” The 500-acre lake has two marinas and eight sand beaches. You won’t even have to bring your own boat. Rentals are available, making the water accessible to all. A separate 24-acre fishing lake has its own boat launch and sand beach. Although water activities may take center stage, an 18-hole PGA golf course, an equestrian center, and a clubhouse make Lake of the Woods competitive with many resorts. “As for the market? It is softening a bit,” says Licata. “Interest rates are impacting buyers who aren’t cash-rich. Mortgage rates have risen from 2.5 percent to more than six percent. That can add $400 or more each month to a typical home mortgage. When you consider the rise in home prices along with the higher mortgage interest rates, it can be too much for many buyers. “Waterfront homes and others are still getting offers, but not with the same frenzy as four or five months ago.” So your chances of successfully bidding on a home are better, as long as the higher prices and mortgage rates don’t push you out of the market. Finding the right home at the right price is a significant challenge, no matter where you’re looking. But it’s worth the effort to live on and enjoy one of Virginia’s remarkable lakes where you can turn your favorite vacation spot into your year round home. Carla Huckabee writes about high-performing real estate.
