So I wrote the story about “the officer” and Christopher Gonzalez. This identification imbalance—which the police created and which is felt in the prose—is present in the body camera footage, too. The body camera lets us hear a voice; it lets us see a set of hands as they act. But, to an amazing extent, it leaves the wearer out of the picture. (Then, of course, the camera falls off at a critical moment—a neat symbolic summation of current police oversight practices as a whole.) After watching the footage over and over again, I feel like I know Gonzalez. I’d recognize him if I passed him on the Downtown Mall. The same can’t be said for
INSTAGRAM USER: LSF.SUPERSOLDIER
The main character in the story on page 10 doesn’t have a name. He doesn’t have a face. Shortly after a video of the brutal arrest of Christopher Gonzalez was posted on Instagram July 8, the Charlottesville Police Department released 17 minutes of body camera footage of the incident. Since arriving two years ago, Police Chief RaShall Brackney has touted transparency—releasing the video, the department implied, would help satisfy the community’s demands. The police weren’t willing to release the officer’s name, however, as the arrest remains subject to an “ongoing investigation.”
the officer. This is a problem because, again, that man is the pivotal figure in this story. He’s the one who turned this into a newsworthy situation—he’s the one who initiated the violence. The police department, while preaching transparency, has slyly managed to erase him from the narrative. Charlottesville’s Police Civilian Review Board remains tangled in municipal government purgatory, but this arrest shows how much the community needs strong and vigilant police oversight. A body camera by itself can’t turn and look up at the officer who wears it. As Harold Folley says in the story, “police can’t police themselves.”—Ben Hitchcock

Statue disposal
Teacher troubles On July 9, Albemarle County schools laid out plans for in-person reopening this fall. It quickly came to light, though, that the plan had been created without getting feedback from ACPS teachers, reports The Daily Progress. Teachers and staff have since circulated an open letter advocating against in-person instruction, calling the proposal “unequivocally unsafe for Albemarle County staff and families.”

Early Monday morning, two local activists awoke to find blazing tiki torches in their yards—an eerie reminder of the KKK rally held nearly three years ago at the University of Virginia. (Another activist found an unlit, discarded torch.) The act was “without a doubt intentional,” according to a Medium post by Showing Up for Racial Justice.
CASTLE HILL GAMING
Tiki terror
It looks like a slot machine. It plays like a slot machine. But actually, it’s a “skill game.” Now, these games are legal in Virginia—and there are more than a dozen lined up in a glamorous former bank building downtown. The space is currently home to high-end steakhouse Prime 109, which was shuttered by the economic crash. The new scene inside the building has left some in town wondering if there’s a swanky casino in Charlottesville’s future. Prime 109 boss Loren Mendosa insists that “right now there’s not much to talk about.” Sure, it could be a casino eventually, but Mendosa says things are hap-
pening fast, and he has “no idea what the actual thing would look like.” Still, he’s rolling the dice on the idea. The Prime team hurriedly carted the machines into the space at the 11th hour. On July 1, all previously installed skill game machines became legal, though the law change doesn’t allow new machines to be installed. “If we don’t have the machines installed by June 30th, there’s no chance of even talking about it,” Mendosa says. “It’s definitely not [a casino] right now. Who knows?… It might be a lot of different things,” he says about his restaurant full of quasi-gambling machines.

Many of Richmond’s Monument Avenue Confederate statues are gone, but debate over their removal continues, and people have wondered where the toppled statues are being stored. This week, some sharp-eyed Richmonders noticed a large collection of monument-shaped tarps standing around the city’s wastewater treatment plant. It’s about as close as you can get to literally flushing the things down the toilet.

f you can stay off the Downtown Mall and I don’t see you again, then I won’t take you,” said the Charlottesville police officer. “That’s not going to happen,” said Christopher Gonzalez, who had been lying on his back on the mall outside CVS. It was 5:30pm on Wednesday, July 8. The sun was shining. “Why?” The officer asked. “I’m going to stay living right here,” said Gonzalez. He was experiencing homelessness, and had nowhere else to go. “Then I’m going to take you to jail for drunk in public,” the officer responded. “Well let’s go then,” Gonzalez said. The officer turned Gonzalez around and started to put him in handcuffs, but Gonzalez pulled his arm away. Moments later, the officer threw Gonzalez up against the wall of the CVS, kneed him in the thigh, and pinned him on the ground in a headlock, where he held him for around 50 seconds. An Instagram video showing the physical altercation was posted later that evening, and soon after, at the request of multiple community members, the Charlottesville Police Department released 17 minutes of body camera footage recording the lead-up to the incident. The body camera fell off during the scuffle, so the Instagram video is the only available footage of the physical arrest. A citizen on the mall saw Gonzalez lying down and called 911, says the CPD. The body cam footage shows that a police officer arrived first; then a rescue squad appeared and gave Gonzalez a clean bill of health. The officer dismissed the rescue

squad, and the altercation began. The police department has not released the officer’s name because the incident is subject to an “ongoing investigation.” Fortunately, Gonzalez did not appear to suffer any physical injuries. He was charged with felony assault of a police officer, as well as with misdemeanors for public intoxication and obstruction of justice. The officer’s violent arrest of Gonzalez has drawn concern from justice system experts and activists around town. “I’m a nurse, and I am a researcher, and one of the things that I focus on a lot is strangulation,” says Kathryn Laughon, a UVA nurse and an activist with Charlottesville’s Defund the Police movement. Laughon says, speaking generally, “use of chokeholds by police—it’s unconscionable. There is no safe way to apply pressure to anyone’s neck.” “We don’t do chokeholds, we don’t teach any sort of neck restraints,” said Police Chief RaShall Brackney in an interview with Victory Church on June 14. “[Gonzalez] really didn’t assault the officer,” says Legal Aid Justice Center community organizer Harold Folley. “He pulled away from the officer, but he didn’t assault the officer. It doesn’t justify the officer beating his ass like that.” Stephen Hitchcock is the executive director of The Haven, a shelter just a few blocks from where the incident took place. “We deal with that kind of situation, someone who’s intoxicated, every day, all day,” says Hitchcock. “And we never have to knee the person, and pummel them, and Body camera footage released by the police department shows an officer grabbing Christopher Gonzalez, moments before throwing him to the ground.

Lending a hand Black-owned businesses get some relief By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com
MARLEY NICHELLE

Lawrence Johnson, owner of Larry’s Barber Shop, plans to use his loan from the Virginia 30 Day Fund to purchase additional sanitation supplies for his business.
Meanwhile, she applied for a range of grants, but did not have any luck until she received a phone call from Snyder last week. “It’s been a really trying time for us,” says Brown-Douglas. “A lot of times, they don’t turn you down. They just say they’re out of money, or they’ve had so many applications they had to cut it off at a certain point. With the amount of people, It’s just like playing the lottery.” “It really can break your spirit,” she adds. “[So] it was just a blessing to have that phone call, and actually feel like somebody cares.” She plans to use the loan to “expand our inventory and safety equipment,” which she will need to reopen this month at her new location on Second Street, for both dine-in and takeout. When it becomes safe to do so, BrownDouglas will also open up the space for events, such as parties and meetings, which will include on-site catering. “We do have the ability to do outside seating, and we also have a lot of space [inside] to spread our customers out, so they’ll be comfortable and safe at the same time,” she says. Through its partnership with the United Way, the Virginia 30 Day Fund plans to distribute at least $76,000 more in forgivable loans to minority-owned businesses and early education centers in Charlottesville and Albemarle.
“A lot of times, they don’t turn you down. They just say they’re out of money, or they’ve had so many applications they had to cut it off at a certain point. With the amount of people, It’s just like playing the lottery.” JEANETHA BROWN-DOUGLAS, OWNER OF JBD EVEN CATERING & SOUL FOOD

hadn’t received unemployment benefits, or any other sort of financial relief since shuttering his shop. Instead, he had to use money from his savings to cover his expenses. Since reopening during the second week of June, business has been “slow but steady,” says Johnson. “Some people are still afraid to come out, [especially] the older customers.” Johnson has owned his business, now located on Goodman Street, for the past 10 years. He plans to use the $3,000 to pay his bills, and purchase additional sanitation supplies. He’d also like to do more advertising, and hopefully bring in new customers. “I am very thankful for this opportunity,” he says. Brown-Douglas has also had trouble keeping things going over the past few months. All of her catering gigs were canceled as soon as the pandemic hit, and because her eatery planned on moving, it was difficult to remain open for takeout. “We had to literally shut down and start from scratch,” she says. “But I’m glad for that time, because it gave us a chance to really think about what direction we were going to take our business in.” To help keep the lights on, Brown-Douglas and her daughter, Dejua, who helps run JBD, provided dinners to guests at a Salvation Army shelter, which were paid for by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

hen the pandemic struck, “it was like somebody just snatched a chair from under us,” says Jeanetha Brown-Douglas, owner of JBD Event Catering & Soul Food. “It was like having a business one day, and having no business the next day.” Inspired by her grandmother, BrownDouglas first got into the food industry nearly 30 years ago, when she began working with UVA Dining. She later opened up a fried chicken stand in front of the Sunshine Mini Mart on Cherry Avenue, and it was a hit. This led her to sign up for business classes at Piedmont Virginia Community College and for a program at the Community Investment Collaborative, which helped her to launch her own catering business. “We did a lot of catered events and had a lot of contracts with various places in Charlottesville,” such as the University of Virginia, she says. “We got our name out there... and got really known.” In 2018, Brown-Douglas was finally able to open her own eatery in Belmont, where customers no longer had to wait for a catered event to enjoy her home-cooked meals. But when COVID rendered large events impossible and forced everyone to stay inside, the shop went quiet. The pandemic has hammered the economy, and local Black business owners like Brown-Douglas have felt the effects. Not only have many struggled to receive government assistance, but “being a Black-owned business is a challenge in itself,” she says. Thankfully, some relief has arrived. JBD Catering is one of six minority-owned businesses in the Charlottesville area to receive a $3,000 fully forgivable loan from the Virginia 30 Day Fund’s new partnership with the United Way of Greater Charlottesville. These loans are being dispensed after previous government initiatives to keep small businesses afloat have failed—this is the first financial assistance JBD has received. While the loans don’t have to be repaid, awardees are encouraged to “pay it forward,” and donate money to the fund when they’re back on their feet. That money will be distributed to another struggling small business in Virginia, according to entrepreneur Pete Snyder, who co-founded the Charlottesville-based fund with his wife. After learning he’d been awarded a loan, Lawrence Johnson, owner of Larry’s Barber Shop, breathed a huge sigh of relief. He

then slam them to the ground, ever. We’ve never had to do that.” “You give someone a bottle of water. It changes their breathing, it builds a connection with them. A little act of trust and generosity,” Hitchcock says. The officer’s treatment of Gonzalez fits into a larger pattern of criminalizing poverty and addiction, say these activists. And Black and brown people feel the effect of those practices at a disproportionate rate. The officer, standing just a few feet from restaurants where affluent patrons drink the night away, offered Gonzalez a deal— leave the mall and we won’t arrest you. “A drunk in public—it is against the law,” Hitchcock says. “But how many white, wealthy people behind the looping chains [of restaurant patios] are also drunk?” “To say that, in the city, there are certain places where you can’t be drunk in public, but if you move a block away it’s not a criminal act—that tells me that this isn’t about health and safety,” says Laughon. “So often, you see [UVA] students getting trashed,” Folley says, “and the officers assist them, help them to where they need to go… But that’s the difference between Black and brown people and white people.” Arresting people who are experiencing health problems or homelessness makes it more difficult for them to get back on their feet, Hitchcock points out. If the felony charge sticks, it will be harder for Gonzalez to find housing and employment. Activists see this incident as an example of why it’s necessary to radically change the way police operate in the city. “What I see is the importance of a strong Civilian Review Board,” says Folley. “The police should not police themselves.” (Charlottesville’s Police Civilian Review Board has just begun meeting, but it has been entangled in a dispute with City Council over its own bylaws.) “This is a perfect example of why using armed police to be our first responders to just about every situation is a real problem,” says Laughon. “The money that goes into policing, and to then criminalizing behavior, could be better spent on housing, on health care—those are things that would make the community safer and healthier.”

he latest addition to IX Art Park’s medley of flowery, psychedelic art is a series of circles, painted six feet apart from each other on the ground. The new paint is one part of IX’s plan to begin holding in-person concerts, after the coronavirus pandemic rendered them impossible for months. Though new cases continue to appear every day in the area, the state’s reopening plan has allowed places like IX to resume some version of their prepandemic operations. Positive Collective, a reggae and world music act, will perform at the first in-person show on July 18. “Instead of just buying a [concert] ticket, you’re buying access to a circle on the platform,” says IX Art Park Foundation Executive Director Susan Krischel. Concert-goers must stay in their circle, and need to wear a mask if they leave it, be that to go to the bathroom or to buy drinks. Krischel says shows will have a maximum of 120 attendees, while in the past the venue accommodated 2,000 people. These concerts won’t undo the economic effects of the last few months—reduced occupancy limits the amount of revenue generated from each show. “It’s tight,” Krischel says. “I’m not gonna lie about that. With that number of people, it is very difficult to break even.” Kirby Hutto, general manager of the Sprint Pavilion, expresses a similar sentiment: “Being capped at a thousand total capacity and 10 feet of social distancing just
really, really cuts down what is financially viable for us.” “Normally this time of year we would have probably at least a dozen shows confirmed if not more,” Hutto says. By early March, Hutto says that there had already been five shows on sale. Now, they have all been either rescheduled for 2021 or canceled altogether. Hutto says, “all the artists that had holds on the calendar for the rest of 2020—they’re gone.” The venues that do reopen hope to provide a sense of relief and comfort to the community. “We’re starting showing movies at three o’clock in the afternoon on Wednesdays and Fridays, and hope that people will come out of the theater around five and then hopefully go to an outdoor patio at a restaurant,” says Matthew Simon, director of operations and programming at The Paramount Theater. “We’re kind of all in this thing together, and we’re not really trying to make money,” Simon says. “We’re just trying to get people to put a smile on their face and feel comfortable coming out to see a show.” Other venues are being more cautious. The Southern doesn’t have any events scheduled until August. Danny Shea, who manages The Southern and is responsible for bookings at both The Southern and The Jefferson Theater, says he doesn’t want to risk anyone’s health. “We certainly wouldn’t want to come off as contributing to the problems,” Shea says. “And we don’t want to open up just so we have to close down soon after because we were too aggressive.”

n normal times, one in six Charlottesville residents—nearly 8,000 people—lack adequate access to affordable, healthy food. That’s 6 percent higher than the statewide food insecurity rate. And with thousands of citizens newly unemployed due to COVID-19, our food insecurity numbers have significantly increased, exacerbating underlying disparities. Dozens of area nonprofits have been working for years to fight this complex, systemic issue, which disproportionately affects people of color, and when the coronavirus left many more residents in need of food assistance, these groups redoubled their efforts. What follows is a glimpse of a few of the local individuals and organizations that are feeding their friends and neighbors in need.
PB&J Fund When COVID-19 shut down city schools, many students were at risk of going hungry because they’d lost access to their free (or reduced-price) breakfasts and lunches. The PB&J Fund, which teaches students how to make healthy, affordable recipes at home
with their families, stepped in immediately, organizing volunteers to pack and hand out bag lunches on March 15. The following day, city schools began distributing grab-and-go meals—but only on weekdays. To feed children on the weekends, the PB&J Fund set up a delivery program, dropping off bags of groceries on the doorsteps of more than 300 families every Friday. “They are primarily shelf-stable items, with a little bit of fresh produce,” mainly from locally owned grocery stores, food banks, and farmers, says the fund’s Executive Director Alex London-Gross. “We want to ensure that people have options.” While programs like this have been necessary in Charlottesville “for years and years,” says London-Gross, they are especially crucial now. With household staples flying off the shelves, it has been difficult for low-income families to get to stores in time to purchase all they need, often due to their work schedules. Charlottesville Area Transit’s reduced schedules have made shopping even tougher for those without access to a car. “We have kids [waiting] at the front door who know what time their bag is going to be delivered,” says London-Gross. “They’re so appreciative.”

When local chef Harrison Keevil had to close down his family’s store, Keevil & Keevil Grocery and Kitchen, back in March, he immediately thought of his Belmont neighbors. What if they lost their jobs? How were they going to eat? Right away, he began leaving 15 free lunches every day in front of the eatery for anyone who was hungry, no questions asked. But he wanted to do more. By April, Keevil had forged partnerships with multiple area organizations that serve vulnerable populations—including PACEM, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville, The Arc of the Piedmont, and The Haven—to provide freshly prepared meals, using ingredients purchased directly from local farmers. And over the past few weeks, Keevil’s hunger relief program—called #FeedVirginia— has expanded its partnerships into rural areas like Goochland, Keevil’s hometown. “We work with our partners to determine how many meals they would like, and either we or volunteers deliver it, or someone comes to pick it up from that group” every Tuesday through Thursday, says Keevil. “And Tuesday through Friday, we’re still putting out free meals in front of the shop.” One-hundred percent of profits from Keevil & Keevil’s regular food and catering sales go toward funding the program, in addition to GoFundMe donations. While this new business model hasn’t been easy to adopt, says Keevil, the store has been able to stay self-sufficient, and currently has enough funds to get through the next few months. “This has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done professionally, but it’s also been the most rewarding,” he says. Before starting #FeedVirginia, “I hadn’t realized how lost I truly was. It has definitely reset me, and opened my eyes to why I love cooking and why I got into it in the first place—to take care of people [and] put smiles on people’s faces.” The program has distributed about 24,000 meals to date—and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. “We will do whatever we can to keep this going [and] make sure we’re always there, especially for the Belmont community,” Keevil says. “We are here to stay.”

Every week, the Urban Agriculture Collective, which works with public housing residents to grow fresh food, has hosted a free community market for families in need, distributing produce from its Sixth Street farm. In collaboration with nonprofits Charlottesville Frontline Foods and Charlottesville Community Cares, the Food Justice Network has given out freshly prepared meals from local restaurants—particularly those run by people of color—to public and subsidized housing residents, as part of its efforts toward racial equity. During Charlottesville City Schools’ spring break, volunteers from City Schoolyard Garden and the Chris Long Foundation teamed up to deliver 4,000 meals from Pearl Island Catering and Mochiko Cville to students living in neighborhoods with high enrollments in the free and reduced-price meal program. And as a collective, Cultivate Charlottesville has partnered with the local health department, plus other community organizations, to sponsor free COVID-19 testing in Black and Latino communities, which have been disproportionately impacted by the virus. It’s also worked to provide wraparound services, including groceries, medication, cleaning products, and PPE. “Working with so many people across sectors and coming up with solutions in short spans of time...unlocks so much potential moving forward to respond to other community needs and broader issues that arise,” adds Charlottesville Food Justice Network associate Gabby Levet. “Those relationships will not be lost.” However, these relief programs, among others, aren’t intended to become the “norm” for achieving food equity, says Abi-Nader. “We still want to develop principles and practices to build towards that longer-term

For years, the Food Justice Network, City Schoolyard Garden, and the Urban Agriculture Collective have fought together to create a healthy and equitable food system in Charlottesville. To better achieve their mission and amplify their impact, the three organizations decided in April to come together as one: Cultivate Charlottesville. Since the start of the pandemic, each of Cultivate Charlottesville’s programs has been working to provide emergency food security response, tapping into partnerships to expand current initiatives and create new ones, thanks to “a huge swell in interest and support not only from donors but individuals,” says Cultivate Charlottesville’s Executive Director Jeanette Abi-Nader.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank—which provides food assistance to 25 counties and eight cities in central and western Virginia—was faced with a big challenge. With thousands of residents out of a job, a lot more food needed to be distributed to its community partners, including food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. But BRAFB had a drastic reduction in volunteers, and needed to limit the amount of people allowed to work during a shift to 10. Fortunately, it immediately received “a historic outpouring of support,” says Community Relations Manager Abena Foreman-Trice, “allowing us to spend more than $2.7 million in response to the crisis, with nearly all of that going toward food purchases.” When the food bank put out a call for healthy, low-risk volunteers, around 700 people signed up to give out food to their neighbors in need. Thanks to this substantial backing from the community, BRAFB has been able to keep nearly all of its partner food pantries open. Using low and no-touch food distribution practices, like curbside pickup and home deliveries, it has safely served 15 percent more people than it did at this time in 2019—roughly 115,000 in May alone, according to its latest stats. In collaboration with community partners, BRAFB has increased its outreach efforts to vulnerable populations. With the help of volunteers from the Jefferson Area Board for Aging, it has distributed and delivered food boxes to senior citizens in need in Charlottesville and surrounding counties. “We can’t predict when things will go back to the way they were before COVID-19…. our response to the pandemic could go on for many more months,” says Foreman-Trice. Nonetheless, “we can remain ready to help individuals and families when they need us.”

As soon as the University of Virginia shut its doors in mid-March, Portia Boggs, communications director for the Local Food Hub, knew that things were about to get “really bad” for area farmers, who rely heavily on wholesale sales to schools, restaurants, and other institutions. Her worst fears were soon confirmed: Following closures all over the city and surrounding counties, farmers reported a more than 90 percent drop in sales. They weren’t sure how, or if, they were going to make it through the pandemic. At the same time, “grocery store shelves were empty, and people were freaking out about whether or not they would be able to get enough to eat,” says Boggs. To both help farmers and meet consumer demand, the Local Food Hub created a drive-thru market, held every Wednesday and Friday in the former Kmart parking lot on Hydraulic Road. Because customers place their orders online, “there’s absolutely no contact between anyone,” says Boggs. They just have to show up at their designated pick-up time and put a sign with their name in their front car window, and employees will put their order in their trunk. The model has been very successful, bringing in hundreds of thousands dollars in sales to date for its 20 vendors. More drivethru markets have popped up around town. “We’ve been completely blown away by the support from the community,” says Boggs. “So many of our vendors tell us that we either played a huge role in or were responsible for keeping them in business, and making it possible for them to survive.” To further help families facing economic hardship, Local Food Hub expanded its preexisting food relief program, Fresh Farmacy, which currently provides locally grown produce to 600 low-income families every week. While there is no set end date for either of the programs, Boggs hopes that “once things normalize a little bit more, people will remember the benefits of local food systems, [as well as] everyone having access to equitable food,” she says. We need to “continue to invest in that and prioritize that as a long-term solution, and not just an emergency response.”
“We still want to develop principles and practices to build towards that longerterm food security.”

hen artist Jae Johnson sized up the wall space designated for his mural at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center, he realized the paintable area was about two feet shorter than he anticipated. His original design just wasn’t going to fit, and he had to come up with something else—right then and there. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid at first,” says Johnson. “But as time went on and the prayers came in, I didn’t want it to come to an end.” Attending public school in Virginia these days is hard work, and CATEC students’ aim is to become proficient in a chosen trade. But in Johnson’s mural, entitled “My Future,” learning is depicted as an act of magic— something bigger that we are all a part of— that is alive and abundant. A giant red book flutters open—and from it, potential areas of mastery flow. Johnson assigned an image to represent each of the school’s programs: a chef ’s hat for culinary arts; a car for auto repair; a silhouette of a trumpet player for music industry technology, and so on. And though the dimensions may have seemed like an obstacle at first, the shortened wall space led Johnson to flatten and abstract some of the images, adding a distinctive and noteworthy element to the mural. Near a baby pink hairdryer, a scissors and comb are stretched out, incorporated into the work as lines, bordering swirling color blocks. “My Choice, My School, My Future,” the CATEC motto, is displayed among some of his favorite inspirational quotes (“Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”—Bill Bradley). There is a lot of movement and energy, and a lot to look at. The mural is part of the ongoing Charlottesville Mural Project, a program of The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, led by Executive Director Alan Goffinski. “He’s a really down-to-earth guy with a long history in Charlottesville and a dynamic
illustration style,” says Goffinski, about tapping Johnson to create the mural. “When I first saw his work I couldn’t help but imagine how his style might translate to large-scale.” Johnson is a relatively new artist on the scene, known for his portraiture. He showed at New City Arts in April of 2018 with Frank Walker, his mentor and another prolific figurative artist with deep local roots. The two were connected by marriage about a decade ago, and Johnson began meeting with Walker weekly to develop his skills. Aside from refining technique, Johnson and Walker made an agreement that they would make the work they wanted to make. And that led to a level of confidence that changed things for Johnson. “I never really did public art. I’ve always lacked self confidence, like, is this good enough? Are people gonna like it? And then I got to the point where like...I didn’t really care. As long as I liked it. I started to stand behind my own artwork and it started to feel really good.” In the future, Johnson hopes to incorporate portraiture into a mural, and you’ll probably be able to recognize it as his work when he does. A peek at Johnson’s instagram (@skeevangogh) shows an exciting progression of technique and style. He is deeply immersed in representational culture, and finds inspiration for his portraits from the books, magazines, and comics he pores over. He admires comic book artist Frank Miller for his stark, iconic style, but takes more inspiration these days from Lee Bermejo, who uses a lot of gray and subtle colors. Johnson’s own soft yet striking approach is a nice mash-up of the more classical elements of traditional figurative work, and the graphic sharpness of comics. Much like the magical vortex coming out of the red book in his mural, Johnson is tapped into the energy of creation, and the excitement that comes with seeing yourself get better. When asked about his process, Johnson speaks about the challenge of pacing himself while working on something that shouldn’t be rushed.

ason McLeod’s artisan jewelry career path was informed by car crashes. Back in the early aughts, McLeod was living in Oakland, California, and running an advertising and graphic design business when a pair of back-to-back fender benders laid him up long-term in the hospital. He needed something to fill the hours, and “I just started making jewelry as a way to keep my hands and my mind busy,” McLeod says. But when he saw the enthusiasm his uniquely designed rings and necklaces generated, he realized his hobby had the potential to become a business. In the ensuing years, McLeod and his wife moved to Charlottesville and he displayed his metalwork at East Coast art shows, developing his brand and honing his craft, eventually setting up shop in an Allied Lane office space. McLeod has established himself as a local artisan whose work has a unique, speculative twist. His online store is filled with Singularity pendants and Time Traveler rings, intricate creations as otherworldly as their names suggest. The goal, McLeod says, is to create products that “look like they’re from the past and the future.” He’s succeeded with the newest product on his site: the Time Traveler Shamanic Mask. The fully functional mask is decked out with 18-karat gold and black silk, and comes with a leather strap. It’s a steampunk
fantasy—but at $20,020, it might exceed the typical cosplay budget. The price, of course, is a tongue-incheek reference to this year and its unprecedented events, without which this mask would never have been created. McLeod says he might be willing to negotiate on its cost, but hopes a wealthy someone will pay full price. “It’s part of the package,” he says. McLeod also emphasizes that, should his mask find a buyer, the profits will go to a “coronavirus medical expense relief charity,” giving the project a “Robin Hood purpose.” Whether or not the first mask sells, McLeod plans to create more—maybe even a series. Future design ideas include tear gas-resistant goggles, he says, to remain “applicable to 2020.” But if the Time Traveler Shamanic Mask is any indication, he won’t be abandoning his signature aesthetic. On the mask’s two respirators, McLeod inserted golden versions of the earth and the sun—specifically, its corona. (Get it?) Across the silver surface, he’s etched tiny stars and other celestial symbols. The celestial, global aspect is what initially inspired McLeod to make the mask. “Part of what’s really amazing about this quarantine pandemic thing is that it’s brought out the…global group organism,” he says. “The macro, not the micro.” And yet McLeod’s own celestial path finds him in the business of sculpting those big ideas into a small, wearable piece of art.
Jeweler Jason McLeod likes to meld the past with the future in his unique designs. The Time Traveler Shamanic Mask is one example of taking technology and bling to a dramatic, pandemic-influenced level.

Getting creative Charlottesville’s dining scene continues to expand and evolve By Meg Irvin
restaurant scene is in a parking lot at the corner of Market Street and Second Street NW. The team behind Bizou and Luce launched an outdoor food hall called The Lot in June as a way to take advantage of the outside space and bring several menus together for a contact-free dining experience. That means dinner can truly be whatever you fancy—think pull-apart rolls from Bizou alongside pasta from Luce and a peach salad from The Lot, all ordered from your phone. Sounds like a place for picky eaters and introverts to unite. The Lot isn’t the only outdoor spot where you’ll find Bizou cuisine this summer. Winemaker Michael Shaps and Bizou’s Vincent Derquenne have partnered for a weekend pop-up series at Wineworks Extended, located at 1585 Avon St. Extended. Reservations are encouraged and can be made by emailing marketing@virginiawineworks.com.

Champion Hospitality Group, an arm of Champion Brewing, recently announced a new concept for the Downtown Mall’s Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar space. CHG will lead the project as majority owners, while still working with the restaurant’s original owners on a Baja-Mediterranean concept. The menu comes from chef Phil Gerringer, and the group says the remodeled space, which will open this fall, will feature a tiki bar upstairs. CHG also announced the opening of the Champion Beer Garden, located on the lawn across from Champion Grill at The Shops at Stonefield. Open seven days a week, the beer garden serves the brewery’s popular quaffs, plus Monticello wine and bar food.

Unchecked, the rapacious kudzu vine creates a landscape of green mounds called “kudzu sculptures,” which smother the trees and plants underneath. emailed association members to warn that the HOA could be liable if non-residents were injured. A half dozen neighbors still gathered to tackle the infestation last Saturday. Two volunteers report that a woman told them if they didn’t live in Rockbridge, they were trespassing and should leave—and that the HOA had contacted someone about removal. Gloria Hill lives across the street from Rockbridge. “They should deal with it because if it takes over other people’s property, then they’re responsible,” she says. “I wouldn’t want that mess in my yard.”—Lisa Provence Blue Ridge PRISM is hosting a free Zoom event to help landowners combat non-native invasive plants Wednesday, July 15, from 1 to 4pm.

sects, or diseases to keep it in check, says Walker, who notes that it’s not invasive in China and Japan, where it has a natural predator. Notoriously difficult to get rid of, the vine can take several years to completely eradicate. Its growth is fueled by a tuber that can get up to 12 feet long and when mature, weigh 200 to 300 pounds. “Cooperation among neighbors is essential where this beastly vine crosses property lines, because it grows rampantly and respects no borders,” says the PRISM fact sheet. Goats are voracious eaters who are often brought in to tackle kudzu, but their grazing doesn’t destroy the plant’s vine-producing crowns, according to PRISM. Herbicides are one of the few options for large infestations, and in smaller infestations, cutting the crown from the tuber can kill the plant, according to Walker. Some states consider plants like kudzu noxious weeds and require the landowner to get rid of it—but that’s not the case in Virginia, says Walker. “The HOA has to understand there’s a problem and has to take action,” he says. That can be expensive, says a resident in Rockbridge’s bordering neighborhood, Village at Highlands, where they’re already finding the vine. Through Nextdoor, residents in Rockbridge and the surrounding subdivisions decided to take matters into their own hands and launch an assault on the infestation last week. Within hours, Rockbridge’s property manager

What do you do when “the vine that ate the South” takes up residence in your neighborhood—and your neighbor doesn’t get rid of it? One concerned Crozet resident pulled up some vines in a nascent kudzu infestation last year on property owned by the Rockbridge homeowners association—and was reprimanded by the HOA president for her trouble. “No matter what your intentions were, it’s trespassing and not appreciated,” wrote Rockbridge president Sheilah Michaels on Nextdoor. Michaels, who did not respond to emails from C-VILLE, suggested the HOA had a plan to deal with the vine, which can grow a foot a day. This year, the kudzu has spread and engulfed the 1.75 acres the HOA owns. That’s what kudzu does. Originally from China and Japan, the woody perennial vine was introduced in the South as a forage crop and planted to control erosion in the early 20th century, according to a fact sheet from the Blue Ridge Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management. It’s now eaten at least 7 million acres in the Southeast, and it’s heading north. “It’s capable of taking down any tree,” says Rod Walker, an invasive plant expert with Blue Ridge PRISM. “The big fear is with no action over time, we’ll find ourselves covered with green mounds. It overtakes everything.” Kudzu can completely overwhelm native species—or buildings—that get in its path. There are no animals, in-

Since Neapolitan pizzeria Lampo opened its doors in Belmont back in 2014, takeout was one thing oft-requested by regulars, but never granted due to the kitchen’s small size.

The 2018 NFL Man of the Year will join you and four friends in Maya’s upstairs dining room for drinks and French/Southern cuisine, locally sourced and prepared by executive chef Christian Kelly. But there’s more: As accomplished as he was on the playing field, Chris is even more powerful in the philanthropy world, where his Waterboys initiative provides clean, accessible drinking water to communities in need.

LIVINGFREE FREEWILL WILLASTROLOGY ASTROLOGY CULTURE
By Rob Brezsny
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “Time can turn a scab into a beauty mark,” said actor and screenwriter Nia Vardalos. That’s a rousingly poetic speculation—and more metaphorically true than literally. But I suspect that if it ever might have a useful and meaningful application to an actual human struggle, it will be yours in the coming months. In my view, you are in fact capable of harnessing the magic necessary to transform a wound into a lovely asset. Be bold and imaginative as you carry out this seemingly improbable feat— which is actually not improbable.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Would you like to boost your mental and physical health in the coming weeks? Try this: Immerse yourself in the understanding that you’re interconnected with everything in the world. Tell yourself stories about how the atoms that compose your body have previously been part of many other things. This isn’t just a poetic metaphor; it’s scientific fact. Now study this passage by science writer Ella Frances Sanders: “The carbon inside you could have existed in any number of creatures or natural disasters before finding you. That particular atom residing somewhere above your left eyebrow? It could well have been a smooth riverbed pebble before deciding to call you home. You are rock and wave and the peeling bark of trees, you are ladybirds and the smell of a garden after the rain.”
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “It’s a favorable time to celebrate the fantastic privilege of being alive. Are you willing to believe that? Will you cooperate with my intention to nudge you in the direction of elation and exaltation? Are you open to the possibility that miracles and epiphanies may be at hand for you personally? To help get yourself in the proper mood, read this passage by Libran author Diane Ackerman: “The great affair, the love affair with life, is to live as variously as possible, to groom one’s curiosity like a high-spirited thoroughbred, climb aboard, and gallop over the thick, sunstruck hills every day.”
Cancer (June 21-July 22): As a Cancerian, you have a natural propensity to study and understand what author Margaret Atwood describes as “echoes and emptiness and shadow.” I believe this aspect of your repertoire will be especially active and available to you in the coming weeks. For best results, regard your attunement to these echoes and emptiness and shadow as an asset, even a precious talent. Use it to discern what’s missing or lost but could be recovered. Invoke it to help you navigate your way through murky or confusing situations. Call on it to help you see important things that are invisible to others.
who we are,” writes poet Robert Pinsky. That’s useful counsel for you right now, Scorpio. You’re entering a phase when you can substantially reframe your life story so that it serves you better. And one of the smartest ways to do that is to take an inventory of the memories you want to emphasize versus the memories you’d like to minimize. Another good trick is to reinterpret challenging past events so that you can focus on how they strengthened you and mobilized your determination to be true to yourself.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “After you make a fool of yourself a few hundred times, you learn what works,” testifies musician and singer Gwen Stefani. In my own life, I’ve had to make a fool of myself more than a few hundred times to learn what works. My number is closer to a thousand—and I’m still adding new examples on a regular basis. In the coming weeks, Aquarius, I highly recommend that you try what has served me and Gwen Stefani so well. You’re entering a phase when your foolishness will generate especially useful lessons. Being innocent and wildly open-minded will also be very useful.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “A person must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur,” wrote Sagittarian author and activist Jean Genet. “And dreaming is nursed in darkness.” According to my analysis of your astrological omens, this is an apt description of what has been unfolding for you, Sagittarius—and will continue to play out for you in the next two weeks. If you’re aligned with cosmic rhythms, you have been nursing your dreams in darkness—exploring and cultivating and learning from the raw creative energy that is simmering and ripening in your inner depths. Keep doing this important work, even if there are not yet any productive results. Eventually, it will enable you to “act with grandeur,” as Genet said.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution,” wrote author and futurist Alvin Toffler. While I hesitate to declare that idea to be absolutely and always true, I do recommend it to you in the coming weeks. Given the fact that you have recently been expanding possibilities and cultivating breakthroughs, I’d love to see you keep on pushing forward until you climax your momentum. To boost your courage, try to think of a crazy cry of exhilaration you might exclaim as you make your leaps, like “YAHOO!” or ‘HELL YES!” or HERE I COME!”
Capricorn
Aries
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau said, “There are truths that one can only say after having won the right to say them.” In my estimation, you have recently earned the right to express a fresh batch of scintillating and useful truths. Please do us all a favor and unveil them—preferably with both candor and tact. On behalf of everyone who will benefit from your insights, I’m sending you congratulations for the work you’ve had to do on yourself so as to win them.

is creating grassroots organizing in Charlottesville
(March 21-April 19): “If the time is not ripe, we have to ripen the time,” wrote Aries educator and activist Dorothy Height. This approach worked well during her 98 years on the planet. Her pioneering advocacy for African American women generated a number of practical improvements in their employment opportunities and civil rights. In accordance with the current astrological omens, Aries, I highly recommend her
guiding principle for your use. You now have the power to ripen the time, even if no one else believes the time is ripe.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): “Whatever inspiration is, it’s born from a continuous ‘I don’t know.’” A wise and talented woman said that: Nobel Prize-winning poet Wislawa Szymborska. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s excellent advice for you to embrace during the coming weeks. You’re close to finding and accessing a mother lode of inspiration, and one of the best ways to ensure that happens in an optimal way is to make “I don’t know” your mantra. In other words, be cheerfully devoted to shedding your certainties. Lose your attachment to the beliefs and theories you tend to overly rely on. Make yourself as empty and clear and spacious as you possibly can.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Gemini-born author Djuna Barnes was a world traveler who wrote in several different genres, ranging from lesbian fiction to essays on boxing to plays that used poetic language. She was experimental and empirical and experiential. On one occasion, she voluntarily submitted to the force-feeding endured by hunger-striking suffragists so she could write about what it was like to be tortured. Another fun fact about Barnes: Every morning, she did up her hair and put her makeup on, then climbed into bed and wrote for many hours. In the coming weeks, Gemini, I recommend you draw inspiration from every aspect of her life—except the torture part, of course. Now is a fine time to be versatile, exploratory, and committed to expressing yourself purely in whatever ways make you comfortably excited.

Luxurious, Bucolic, and Minutes from Charlottesville BY KEN WILSON
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
T
homas Jefferson called the Keswick area “the Eden of the United States.” You might say it still is, this lovely spot with its gorgeous, unspoiled countryside full of horse, cattle and sheep pastures, white farm fences, and heart-lifting views of the Southwest Mountains. Peace in the valley—that’s the Keswick lifestyle, with its lavish old estates, luxury inn, country club community, hunt club, vineyard and cidery. And only nine miles to the east is the city of Charlottesville, with all the cultural riches and world class health care that come with the University of Virginia. The name Keswick derives from an estate owned by one Reverend Thornton Rogers in the early 19th century, who named it after the home of the English poet Southey, in Cumberland County, England. Thornton himself operated a classical school on the property. No trace of that school remains today, but movie buffs are familiar with a little slice of Keswick, because the Maryland portions of the 1956 film Giant (starring Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor) were filmed at the old Keswick train station
(now the dining hall of the Little Keswick School) and on the farm of Belmont. Blessedly free of urban development, Keswick hasn’t changed much since then—or since Jefferson’s day. The section of road where Routes 22 and 231 converge, as The New York Times noted in 2008, “has often been cited as one of the most scenic in America.” Take it from Marina Ringstrom, a REALTOR® with Long and Foster, who has long called it home. “Keswick,” she says, “is dreamy. It’s a very, very special place.”
Keswick Hall and Estate First time visitors considering settling down here are likely to book rooms at the area’s most sumptuous lodging, the magnificent Keswick Hall. It takes a lot to impress Conde Nast Traveler, but this lush, 600-acre estate with its 1912 Italianate-style manor house, says the premier luxury and lifestyle travel magazine, “is almost more majestic than nearby Monticello.” The property served as a country club from 1948 to 1990 before being converted, in the 1990s, to a luxury hotel with stylish rooms overlooking the gardens or the golf course. The Rolling Stones, An-
thony Hopkins, and Margaret Thatcher have all been guests. Now owners Robert and Molly Hardie are giving the landmark hall and estate a comprehensive renovation and expansion. Guests will take their R & R and enjoy the estate’s impressive panoramas in an outdoor infinity pool, on seven tennis courts, and out on the awardwinning 18-hole Full Cry golf course designed by Pete Dye. Culinary buffs will savor a new restaurant designed in partnership with world renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, which will be open to the public as well as to members and guests. This handsome, bistro-like space will offer views of the golf course and the Southwest mountains. Inside, diners will find black and white tiled as well as wooden floor areas, custom light fixtures, a ceramic-faced bar, and a stone fireplace. A garden will grow herbs and more for Vongerichten’s visionary culinary creations in this his first Virginia venture. An adjacent Pétanque court will allow guests to try this Provençal form of boules. Landscaping by the architectural firm of Nelson Byrd Woltz will introduce walk-
ing paths through native Virginia vegetation. A reimagined ballroom, outdoor venue space, and natural amphitheater will entice brides-to-be and wedding planners. Within Keswick Estate are over 30 home sites currently on offer by Frank Hardy Sotheby’s International Realty, including lakefront and golf course lots ranging from two to five acres and featuring distinctive landscape variations. Prices range from $290 thousand to $595 thousand.
Keswick Hunt Club The 19 gentlemen who gathered at a home called Cloverfields in 1896 were “peaceful, law-abiding citizens, but dear lovers of the chase,” remembered one of their members, a Dr. Francis Lee Thurman. Their interest (and intent) was the pursuit of “Social Intercourse and Fox and Drag Hunting.” Their means was the founding of Keswick Hunt Club. One hundred-and-twenty-four years later the venerable Keswick Hunt Club promotes the sport of fox hunting with organized hunts from September to March and social activities, including trail rides, throughout the year.

Four hundred scenic acres are what attracted Al and Cindy Schornberg to Keswick. As a child Al heard his grandfather’s stories of working on the family’s French vineyard. As an adult, he made his fortune in the corporate world in Michigan, but when he and Cindy left and went looking for just the right spot to raise their kids, they had something else in mind as well—a vineyard. A six-year, countrywide search brought them to Keswick’s Edgewood Estate, where they founded Keswick Vineyards in the year 2000. The Schornbergs know what they are doing. Their first vintage, in 2002, won the prize for Best White Wine in America at the Atlanta International Wine Summit.
Since then, under winemaker Stephen Barnard’s direction, the vineyard has won three Virginia Governor’s Cups as well as numerous Gold, Double-Gold, and Platinum awards across the country. Their 2017 Heritage Reserve, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, was recently named “best of class” at the American Wine Society, scoring 94 points. Their 2019 Chardonnay, Barnard says, is a great alternative to more familiar “oaky, buttery versions, which really do nothing to promote the grape.”

helps out with a variety of community events and supports a number of charitable foundations including the SPCA, Habitat for Humanity, Charlottesville Free Clinic, and Grace Church. As part of its mission, it educates the public on the sport of fox hunting through local county fairs, steeplechase exhibitions, and farm tours. The Club’s annual “Barrister” award is named for one of Keswick’s finest hounds, “who had a great nose and really deep cry and whose offspring bear his resemblance and qualities today.” The Masters and Huntsman who present the award look for an individual who has excelled in working with the hounds during the off season, has well-represented Keswick and fox hunting, and has been willing to lend a hand whenever it’s been needed. The recipient receives a framed portrait of Barrister with his or her name engraved name upon it. Another Hunt Club tradition, the Thanksgiving Blessing of the Hounds in the yard of Grace Episcopal Church, dates to 1929. Prayers, hymns and a hunt follow, and funds are collected for local animal shelters and other charities.
