“We need equity,” 19-year-old Joshua St. Hill told a crowd of roughly a thousand people Sunday night at the UVA Rotunda. “We can’t take our foot off the gas.” Keeping their foot on the gas is exactly what protesters in Charlottesville have been doing over the past two weeks, since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. In a city that, despite the events of 2017, is not noted for its activism, residents here have turned out by the hundreds and thousands to protest racism and police brutality, at massive marches on May 30, June 7, and June 8, and at other smaller demonstrations too.
Nationwide, as protests have continued night after night, and police in many cities have responded with brutal force as damning as Bull Connor’s fire hoses and attack dogs, there’s a feeling that a tipping point has been reached, that things might actually change. In Minneapolis, the City Council has vowed to dismantle the police force. In New York and L.A., mayors have pledged to cut police budgets and move the money to community programs. And in Richmond, leaders are calling for a police civilian review board and a new way of responding to calls involving mental health crises. In Charlottesville, City Council appointed the final member of our Police Civilian Review Board last week, though it has so far ignored activists’ demands to implement the stricter bylaws an initial board submitted last September (p. 8). School board members have endorsed pulling cops from our public schools. Council members have been meeting about removing Confederate statues from downtown. And Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Hingeley has vowed to continue the progressive criminal justice reforms put in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, like limiting pretrial detention and supporting alternatives to incarceration. Whether these and other changes will stick depends, in part, on whether residents will keep paying attention, and keep the pressure on, in the weeks and months ahead. “We can’t use Black Lives Matter as a hashtag,” PVCC student Tyler Tinsley said on Sunday, at the march he helped organize. “We gotta keep doing it every day.” —Laura Longhine

Richardson review City Council gathered (virtually) on June 8 for a closed meeting, to discuss City Manager Tarron Richardson’s job performance and the legal state of the Confederate statues. Richardson has had a contentious relationship with council, which he’s accused of “meddling” in his operations. Even by the glacial standards of municipal government, this meeting was a doozy—it lasted five hours, according to The Daily Progress.

As unemployment climbs past 10 percent, Virginia has halted all eviction proceedings through June 28, a move that many activists had called for in recent months. Governor Ralph Northam’s administration says it is working on a relief program for families facing housing insecurity from the pandemic and its associated economic downturn.

As if this spring didn’t feel apocalyptic enough, here come billions of bugs. After nearly two decades of life underground, hordes of buzzing, whining cicadas are beginning to tunnel out into the fresh air. The 17-year cicadas will be especially plentiful in western Virginia, where less development has left their tree habitats intact.

In a disturbing echo of Heather Heyer’s murder, Harry H. Rogers, a Ku Klux Klan leader, drove his car through a crowd of protesters in Richmond on June 7, injuring one person. Rogers was arrested and faces multiple charges. More than a dozen such vehicle attacks, a terrorist tactic increasingly used by white supremacists, have been committed against Black Lives Matter protesters over the past two weeks, including several in which police were at the wheel.
On May 26, Governor Ralph Northam declared that all Virginians 10 years and older must wear masks while in public indoor spaces, including retail stores, buses, and restaurants (when you’re not eating, of course). Some have wondered how business owners would enforce such a rule with recalcitrant customers, and Tobey’s Pawn Shop owner Tobey Bouch, along with Charlottesville radio host Rob Schilling, filed a lawsuit over the mandate on June 1, claiming that masks are illegal in Virginia. But most local business owners say the directive has not been a problem. At Corner sportswear staple Mincer’s, more than 90 percent of shoppers are wearing face coverings, says company V.P. Calvin Mincer. “I would say a couple I’ve seen come in just with no mask. But we don’t really want to fight with them about it, so we just assume they might have some sort of medical condition.” A few doors down at Bodo’s, the bagel chain has set up a table in its patio area for customers to order and pick up food without having to go inside. And though masks are not required outside, most customers have been wearing them, an employee says. In Barracks Road Shopping Center, The Happy Cook has also not had any problems enforcing the rule. “I was uncertain if there would be any sort of pushback... but honestly almost everybody who comes in has had a mask with them and already on,” says owner Monique Moshier. “We do have a thing posted on the window for people to give us a call if they don’t have one with them and we give them a mask…[But] we’ve only had to use those a couple of times, and it’s mostly just been that somebody ran out of their car without grabbing their mask.” As for the many other businesses around Charlottesville, Charlottesville radio host Rob Schilling filed a lawsuit over Governor the Downtown Business Association’s Susan Payne says that, Northam’s mask mandate, while it is not able to force businesses to follow the mandate, claiming face coverings are illegal in Virginia. she has yet to see an establishment that’s not complying.

Will ongoing protests finally lead to better police-community relations? By Ben Hitchcock news@c-ville.com
June 10 – 16, 2020 c-ville.com

T
he nation is up in arms. After the murder of George Floyd, protesters filled the streets of Charlottesville, Richmond, Washington D.C., and cities across the country, demonstrating against police brutality. As the smoke clears in coming weeks, these activists will look to translate the energy of the protests into lasting change. “I think we’re in a similar position now, nationwide, as Charlottesville was in 2017,” says Sarah Burke, a criminal investigator and member of Charlottesville’s initial Police Civilian Review Board. “People are rightfully questioning a lot of police policy and action, and demanding change.”
Charlottesville residents might be familiar with the type of reforms other cities are now demanding. At the behest of protesters, a majority of Richmond City Council members have committed to the creation of that city’s own police civilian review board, which would provide oversight in a variety of different ways, including giving people a forum to lodge complaints about the police mistreatment of residents. After the Unite the Right rally in 2017, Charlottesville City Council made the same commitment, passing a resolution calling for the institution of a strong CRB. Charlottesville’s council began by putting together an initial board, a mixture of criminal justice experts and black community leaders, tasked with researching best practices and community needs and then drafting bylaws for a permanent body. Last Monday, two and a half years after Unite the Right, the official CRB’s last member was finally appointed. The executive director position has yet to be filled, and the adoption of the board’s bylaws remains contentious. The evolution of the CRB provides a snapshot of police-community relations in Charlottesville, and also shows what it takes to transform a dramatic, flashpoint event into lasting institutional change.
Trust issues “We did this for the community,” says Gloria Beard, a long-time Charlottesville resident and member of the initial CRB. “We promised the community that they would have somebody they could go to for complaints. Most of them don’t feel good going to the police department.” In a letter from the initial CRB to the police department this week, which Burke and Beard signed, the board writes, “Police killings, police beatings, and militarized police presence are nothing new to many of us. This community understands those problems, because it has been in this fight for years, even decades.” Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney says she understands where people like Beard are coming from. “There have been recognized failures for a very long time—including those failures in 2017—to understand what race relationships look like,” Brackney says. “We’ve been trying to build trust in this community since I arrived,” says Brackney, who took over as chief in the summer of 2018. “What are those areas that we absolutely know build trust and legitimacy in communities? One is transparency.”

Under scrutiny
The chief says the department is posting “unprecedented” amounts of internal data on its website, for all to see, including internal affairs inquiries, charging data, use of force, and “investigative detentions” (stopand-frisks). That might not tell the whole story, though. “Data is only as good as what you collect,” Burke says. “Right now, for example, all the stop-and-frisk data that we get is in a PowerPoint presentation, filtered through whatever lens the police department filters it through. It’s not necessarily that it’s wrong, we just don’t know.” Another recent sticking point is the department’s budget—the police department gets around $18 million per year from a cashstrapped city government. This week, Charlottesville resident Matthew Gillikin sent an email asking the police department for “the most detailed budget you have,” and was directed to a seven-line summary in the full city budget; when he tweeted that he hadn’t received enough information, the department’s official account responded, “It’s not clear why you would accuse us of being unhelpful.” (C-VILLE has also requested a full budget, but it was not available by press time.) The department has recently made other unforced, trust-busting errors. Last year, the police hung cameras in the majority-black public housing neighborhood Westhaven, without notifying residents of the surveillance; then they took the cameras down and dodged questions about why they had been put up in the first place. And until December, the department’s fleet included a gray Dodge Challenger (the same make, model, and color as the car used to kill Heather Heyer), complete with Blue Lives Matter decaling. In the last two weeks, demand for information about the police department’s practices has only increased. “I’m getting hundreds of emails right now, [asking] what are your policies, do your officers have bodyworn cameras,” Brackney says. “If you looked on our website, you could see and answer those questions yourselves.” At the end of last week, the department sent out an email in response to “numerous
Keeping the pressure on The ongoing local response to George Floyd’s Memorial Day murder in Minneapolis included a massive demonstration in Charlottesville on May 30, when hundreds of peaceful protesters marched from the city’s police station to Washington Park. A mural of George Floyd’s face appeared on the Downtown Mall’s Freedom of Speech Wall June 3. UVA health care workers and others took a knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds to honor Floyd at the university’s Memorial to Enslaved Laborers June 5. More than a thousand demonstrators gathered at the UVA Rotunda on June 7.

The hold up
Goodbye, Lee? without public comment or review. Northam says the cranes will roll in “as soon as possible” and put the statue in storage. Of course, dissenters are already coming out of the woodwork—on June 9, a descendant of one of the statue’s original donors sued Northam to keep it in place. A judge then issued an injunction that will prevent the statue’s removal for 10 days. Northam’s spokesperson said in a statement that the governor remains “confident in his authority” to move the statue. Amanda Chase, the only Republican who has so far announced a 2021 run for governor, called Northam’s decision a “cowardly capitulation to the looters and domestic terrorists” that’s aimed at “appeasing the left-wing mob.” A statement from a collection of Virginia’s Republican state senators said the statue should remain where it is, but called Chase’s statement “idiotic, inappropriate, and inflammatory,” reports WSLS 10 News. (Republicans have not won a statewide election in Virginia since 2009.) The Lee statue in Richmond is one of five Confederate statues on Monument Avenue. The other four, which Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney said Wednesday he also wants removed, are on land controlled by the city of Richmond. To take down those monuments, Stoney would have to follow the same process that’s required in Charlottesville. Elsewhere in the country, many Confederate memorials have been torn down informally. People in Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama, have toppled statues during demonstrations, and monuments have been spray-painted and otherwise altered in countless other cities. In Alexandria, Virginia, even the United Daughters of the Confederacy got in on the action, removing a statue of a soldier that it owns from one of Alexandria’s central streets. “Make no mistake,” Northam said at the press conference, “removing a symbol is important, but it’s only a step.” “I want to be clear that there will be no healing or reconciliation until we have equity,” Bryant said. “Until we have fully dismantled the systems that oppress black and brown people.”—Ben Hitchcock

The six-story-tall equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee has towered over Richmond’s Monument Avenue since 1890. Soon, it’ll be gone, replaced by empty sky. “That statue has been there for a long time. But it was wrong then and it’s wrong now. So we’re taking it down,” said Governor Ralph Northam during a June 4 press conference. The announcement came after the death of George Floyd sparked ongoing national protests against police brutality. Demonstrators in Richmond have targeted the Lee statue since the protests began, spray painting “Black Lives Matter” and other slogans across its base. When Richmond police tear-gassed peaceful protesters at the site on June 1, the statue became an even more charged symbol of oppression. Richmonders have re-contextualized other Confederate spots in the city as well—the United Daughters of the Confederacy building, just a few blocks from the Lee statue, was lit on fire on May 31, with the word “Abolition” written next to its steps. Zyahna Bryant, the Charlottesville student activist who started the petition to remove Charlottesville’s Lee statue in 2016, spoke at Northam’s press conference on Thursday. “I want to make space to thank the activists in Charlottesville who have put in decades of work to get us to where we are today,” Bryant said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here.” Charlottesville, ground zero for the fight over Confederate monuments, could see its statues of Lee and Stonewall Jackson removed later in the summer. This year, the General Assembly finally passed a rule allowing localities to remove their Confederate monuments. The law will go into effect July 1, and then City Council will have to vote on the statues’ removal, hold a public hearing, and offer them to any museums that are interested—a total of 60 days worth of legislative hoops to jump through—before the monuments can legally come down. At an event in March, local activist Don Gathers said he thought it best not to schedule the removal ahead of time, so as to avoid any potential violence. Richmond’s Lee statue, by contrast, sits on state property, and can be removed

forcefully advocated for the adoption of the initial bylaws. Heinecke notes that Michael Payne, Sena Magill, and Lloyd Snook all expressed support for the initial bylaws during their council campaigns, but that Snook no longer supports revisiting the issue. Other councilors want to let the incoming board members write their own rules, rather than impose the initial board’s deeply researched guidelines. “What we’ve said all along is that the new board members can tell us how they function best,” said Mayor Nikuyah Walker at council’s most recent meeting.

Stay connected Local LGBTQ groups continue to support youth from home By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

tendance] is obviously much lower than it was in person.” When the pandemic finally ends, LGBTQ youth will need even more support, as they recover from the additional trauma they may have endured at home. The people they rely on for support—including teachers, counselors, mentors, and LGBTQ organizations—are “going to need to be there for these kids, and allow them space to talk
about [the pandemic] whenever this is brought up,” says Johnson. “Sweeping this whole COVID time under the rug and trying to move on isn’t going to be helpful...The youth that we serve, they’re going to remember this time, and what it was like for the rest of their lives,” he adds. “We are really going to have to leave space to unpack it, and for youth to work through this.”

hile the LGBTQ community in the U.S. has made significant strides in recent years, there is still a lot of work to be done, especially for youth. According to The Trevor Project, LGBTQ teens are almost five times as likely to attempt suicide as their heterosexual peers. They also face disproportionately higher rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and PTSD. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has “exacerbated” these issues, says Amy-Sarah Marshall, president of the Charlottesville Pride Community Network. Some LGBTQ youth are stuck at home with families who are not supportive or accepting. Others have not come out to their families, so they cannot be their authentic selves at home, causing intense feelings of isolation and loneliness. “The youth who have less supportive home environments are just really struggling a lot more,” says Rowan Johnson, Charlottesville youth program coordinator for Side by Side, which provides programming and resources for young LGBTQ people in Virginia. “Someone whose family doesn’t want them to talk about their identity. Or families who might also be under a lot of stress, and who don’t really want to deal with the queer-specific struggles that their kids are going through.” Due to stay-at-home orders, LGBTQ youth have also lost access to the support systems they have at school, and other po-
tential safe spaces. Even if they have a good relationship with family, they may still feel like they have nobody to talk to. “Finding found family is a tried-and-true tradition in the LGBT community,” says Johnson. “Even those with supportive families are really missing their found family, and not being able to see each other and be together.” To help, Side by Side offers Zoom support groups every week: one for ages 11-13, the other for ages 14-20. CPCN also has a weekly Zoom hangout for local kids and teens to talk and play games, says Marshall. Marshall’s own child, Phin Green, an eighth grader at Buford Middle School who uses gender-neutral pronouns, says CPCN’s support group allows them to chat with people their own age. “It’s nice to talk about stuff without fear of being judged,” they add. “Most of us can talk about stuff and not feel like we are going to be outed or hurt by other people on the call.” Now that the support groups are online and not in person, some people who were not able to attend before the pandemic, due to issues like transportation and distance, have been able to participate, Marshall says. But at Side by Side, Johnson says poor internet access has occasionally made it difficult for kids to join the meetings. Those who live in rural areas, or who come from unstable households, are the least likely to show up. “We have a group of regulars who try to make it every single week,” he says. “But [at-

Medical field grads face uncertainty UVA sent its Class of 2020 off into the world (virtually) on May 16. Graduating during a pandemic, with record levels of unemployment and an economic depression likely to last for a long time, means an uncertain future for all of them. But young people entering the medical field are facing unique challenges—from disrupted training to health concerns. Preparation is an integral part of becoming a nurse or doctor, and many fourth-year med students around the country got a head start, graduating early so they could jump in and help at overwhelmed ERs during the coronavirus crisis. But UVA students who were just completing their undergraduate studies, or still in medical school, have missed out on training opportunities. Michelle Eckstein, who graduated this spring with a degree in nursing, will begin her job as a nurse at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital later this summer. With the continuing pressures on health systems due to the coronavirus, though, she’s afraid the orientation—which usually lasts three months—will not be as robust as usual. “I’m just concerned that I won’t get the one-on-one help, or focus on what I feel like I need in order to feel responsible and ready to be on my own as a nurse,” Eckstein says.
Her practicum, which would have given her more hands-on experience, was also canceled this spring. But Eckstein recognizes she will still be able to do her job. “I know that I am able and competent to continue to learn how to be a nurse, and I’ll be fine,” she says. But she feels the loss of “that extra cushion of your personal confidence.” Medical students at UVA also missed practice in the field. Clinical rotations, normally an integral part of training for third- and fourth-year med students, were suspended during the crisis. The training was replaced with an online curriculum, including a course on the history of pandemics. Rising fourth-year Nico Aldredge says that, while these were great courses, “obviously it’s always better to be in the hospital learning.” COVID-19 also put a hold on hospital employment opportunities, as Charlottesville hospitals restricted non-essential workers during the crisis. Mariam Gbadamosi, who recently earned her bachelor’s degree in human biology from UVA, was working as a scribe at the university medical center’s emergency department, where she was responsible for managing documents for physicians. She was furloughed
in March, and has not only missed out on hospital work experience, but also the money for her medical school applications. Between the application fee, buying materials to study, and traveling for interviews, Gbadamosi says the process can add up to thousands of dollars. “[I’m] definitely hoping to… return to work soon so that I can cover those costs for just the application cycle,” she says. In addition to worries over job insecurity and preparation for the workforce, recent grads entering the medical sector also face health concerns. Summer Rice, who just graduated from UVA with a nursing degree, has a job lined up as an operating room nurse. But with Type 1 diabetes, she is at a higher risk for coronavirus infection. “There’s not a huge risk,” Rice says. “But in general, yeah, I’m worried for my own health.” Aldredge acknowledges that there is always a risk, even for young and healthy workers. “I’m 20 years old, but who knows if I were to get the coronavirus—if I would be that one-half percent of people that get critically ill and get intubated and potentially die,” he says. “You don’t know if you’re going to be that person.”— Claudia Gohn

hen Myra Anderson saw the video of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes, ultimately killing him, she could not help but play it in her head over and over again. Now, she almost wishes she had never watched it. “It just hurt me to my heart,” says Anderson, who is a black mental health advocate and peer support specialist. “There’s no way you can’t be affected by seeing somebody that looks your same skin color on TV, that’s not armed, and doesn’t appear to be doing anything [be killed]. It’s traumatizing deep deep down...It carries the weight of all of the other historical injustices and trauma that happened before.” The violent murders of black people by police—and the recent extensive media coverage—has taken a toll on Anderson’s mental health, as it has for many African Americans across the nation. She’s felt a whole range of emotions, from anger to frustration to depression. It’s been difficult for her to stop crying, she says, or get some rest. “This is a hard time for black mental health in general...It’s almost like we’re dealing with the pandemic of COVID-19, and on top of that, we’re dealing with a pandemic of racism. And both of them feel like they have us in a chokehold, unable to breathe,” says Anderson, who founded Brave Souls on Fire, a spoken word group that works to combat the stigma surrounding mental illness. Now, more than ever, Anderson wishes that Charlottesville had a black mental health center, which could provide a “safe and liberating space to process racial trauma” for all black residents. She is also disappointed in local politicians and organizations that have released statements in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, but have done little to reach out to the black community, and haven’t provided any type of free mental health care. For Katrina Turner, a member of the initial Police Civilian Review Board, the trauma is personal. In 2016, her son, Timothy Porter, called 911, claiming his girl-
friend attacked him. The officers “chose to arrest him,” Turner says. “While he was handcuffed, they threw him against the wall. One of the cops threw a set of keys, hitting him in the back of the head. When they took him to their car, they threw him up against the front [and side] of the car...I witnessed it all.” Turner and her family filed a complaint against the officers, but she says nothing was done. (Police spokesman Tyler Hawn says the department completed an internal affairs investigation, but cannot release the results publicly.) Since then, Turner has continued to pursue the complaint while publicly taking a stand against police brutality in Charlottesville, and now says her “mental health” is “through the roof.” “Something needs to be done,” she says. “It shouldn’t have taken us to witness that murder on TV for all of this to happen.” While it’s not easy, Eboni Bugg, a licensed clinical social worker practicing in the Charlottesville area, encourages all black people to “rest and breathe,” and take the necessary steps to protect their mental health during this time. Prayer or meditation are helpful rituals to have, as well as a healthy sleeping and eating schedule, says Bugg, who serves on the steering committee for the Central Virginia Clinicians of Color Network. It’s also important to take time off of social media, do activities you enjoy, and intentionally connect with family and friends. Bugg encourages adults of color in need of professional help to call CVCCN’s free non-crisis emotional support line (2180440), which is available every Wednesday evening. Clinicians provide callers with immediate, short-term assistance, including resources and referral services. In addition, The Women’s Initiative’s Sister Circle program offers free mental health care and support groups for black women. “[I] just let myself feel whatever that feeling is, and don’t have any guilt about it,” says Anderson, when asked how she’s taking care of herself. “If I’m upset, I’m going to be upset. If I’m sad, I’m going to be sad. And I’m going to allow myself the space to work through that, whatever that looks like.”

Words of…wisdom? Local leaders share their thoughts on the protests By Ben Hitchcock news@c-ville.com
UVA President Jim Ryan, May 31 “To my Black people: I see you. I grieve with you. I breathe fear with you. And I will continue to fight for us and demand that white America stop murdering, stealing, and restricting our breaths.
In the wave of protests sweeping the nation, local leaders like Jim Ryan, Nikuyah Walker, and Rosa Atkins have shared some words of wisdom.
“In this moment, I breathe with you in honor of all those who have had their breath stolen. I will protect your breath from my little corner of the world and continue to implore others to do the same. Breathe!” Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker, May 29 “More than reactively condemning these repeated tragedies, we must work to prevent the next one. We are unafraid and prepared to do unprecedented work to push back against hatred, discrimination, and violence until the misalignment of power and force are reined in. Equity work in our schools and community demands that we look in the mirror and take further actions to ensure justice and better outcomes for Black students, staff, and families. “…We remind you that our schools and our community offer resources for coping. Please visit our website for links and telephone numbers.” Charlottesville City Schools Superintendent Rosa Atkins and School Board Chair Jennifer McKeever, June 1 “Many in our community remain traumatized by the events of August 2017. There are many more of you [who] bear the
physical and emotional scars collected from centuries of intentional disenfranchisement, scars born of inequity in housing, in education, in unequal treatment in the criminal justice system, and in unacceptable health disparities. Making progress towards a more just and equitable community will require significant structural change to our community…We are grateful for your passion for justice and for your grace as we navigate these troubled waters together.” Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney and Fire Chief Andrew Baxter “…Like so many before him, Mr. Floyd’s death was the preventable product of a system that too often treats Black Americans as targets for suspicion, oppression, and violence.
“More than reactively condemning these repeated tragedies, we must work to prevent the next one.” ROSA ATKINS AND JENNIFER MCKEEVER, CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY SCHOOLS
“…I have no way of fully understanding the fear, pain, and anger members of the Black community at UVA and all over the world are feeling right now. But that doesn’t absolve me, or anyone else from our responsibility to be honest about the world around us and to use our influence to drive positive change.” UVA Head Football Coach Bronco Mendenhall, May 30 “…Sadly, none of this is new or shocking. We can see the legacies of centuries of dehumanizing and denigrating Black people in policing, in the legal system, and in the continuing use of state-sanctioned violence against people of color. “Though these truths are uncomfortable for some to hear, we know that we must continue to emphasize these historical connections to understand the present… We will continue our work to publicly acknowledge the truth about our past, to educate about how this past shapes out present, and to work for a better and more equitable future now.” President’s Commission for the University in the Age of Segregation Co-chairs Andrea Douglas and Kirt von Daacke, June 5

“…One thinks of the Langston Hughes poem about a dream deferred. At the same time, I don’t believe that violence is ever the answer, and we know that violent protests both backfire and often injure those who are already victims. “On this Sunday morning, I have no words of real wisdom or comfort. But perhaps because it is Sunday morning, I still have faith, which is most difficult to maintain when it’s hard to see a way out, but in some ways that’s the whole point of faith.”

n times of turmoil, we turn to our leaders—our elected officials, our coaches, our academic mentors. Many of Charlottesville’s top brass have spoken out about the protests sweeping the nation. Some of these comments have been met with support, while others have been lambasted as insufficient. (Notably, UVA President Jim Ryan’s first statement led to activist Zyahna Bryant’s resignation from the President’s Council on UVA-Community Partnerships, and sparked a response letter and petition from a group of the university’s black students.) What follows is a collection of thoughts, excerpted from official statements made by Charlottesville leaders over the last two weeks. As the days go by, it will be incumbent on them to turn words into action, and it will be incumbent on the community to hold these leaders accountable to whatever lofty ideals they might have expressed. For now, though, maybe you’ll find some wisdom here. (Or maybe it’ll make you want to start a movement of your own.)

“Grounds…A Blackcast” is a 10-episode audio show centered around five black professors teaching at a small, private, predominantly white institution in the South. Charlottesville-based actor Will Jones lends his voice to Ivan Wilson, a scholar of Russian poetry.
to think of any series where “a black guy is the lead and he’s not some kind of extreme” or stereotype. “This is a lot more middle ground,” he says, “a lot more relatable.” Spearman says that Scott-Jones welcomes collaboration from the actors in order to achieve that relatability. He contributed some dialogue to what he says is “the best scene I’ve had in a long time,” in episode two, a conversation between Elijah and the university’s white president. “It’s full of righteous indignation and truth,” says Spearman. Elijah “[stands] up for himself in a way that I have not had a chance to play before…it’s a guy going up against the homophobic, color-phobic policies of the university.” Jones valued the chance to make his audience laugh instead of cry for once. His favorite scene is one in which his character, Ivan, meets up with ethnomusicologist Kwasi before a Kendrick Lamar concert. Ivan cracks up and lovingly teases his friend, who is dressed in a white T-shirt and black-and-red
plaid pants, saying he looks prepped to pogo at a punk show rather than a rap concert. “Grounds,” says Spearman, gives black men a voice “in the myriad spectrum that being a black man comes in. We’re not monolithic.” The show comments on black female experience, too: The inclusion of P.J. as the only female character magnifies “the trap that most black women find themselves in, of having to be mama to everybody, and forgetting they have to mama themselves, too,” says Scott-Jones. But that’s not to say P.J. gets no support from the men. This is “a community of black people that really do honor each other, care for each other.” And in this moment, as the country continues to protest ongoing police killings of black people, these are necessary things not just to convey, but to uplift, says Scott-Jones. “Representation matters,” she says. “And the more of the spectrum of blackness that can be shown, the better.”
Tracing Rusty Speidel’s music career is like coloring a zentangle. It twists, turns, and flows into many shapes, connects to a greater body of work, and the results are dependably creative and beautiful. Speidel (right) is a session musician, producer, arranger, and a founding member of SGGL (Speidel, Michael Goggin, Tom Goodrich, and Michael Lille), a popular local band that took off from UVA in the ’80s and toured the East Coast extensively. He’s played with Ellis Paul, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Martin Sexton, Sugarland, and Sarah White, to name a few. This time out, he will perform with another local heavyweight—Michael Clem (founder of Eddie from Ohio and more) for the Front Porch Save the Music series.

cting looks a bit different for Will Jones this summer. Instead of being onstage with the Charlottesville Players Guild, he’s sitting at home, in front of a microphone, wearing headphones so he can hear himself and his castmates as they read from their scripts for “Grounds...A Blackcast,” an original 10-episode audio drama. Some aspects of the craft haven’t changed for Jones. He still gets into character by laughing, sighing, furrowing his brow, smiling broadly, gesticulating wildly, and using his body to affect the emotion in his voice. And, perhaps most importantly, by voicing one of the five main characters in the podcast created by Leslie Scott-Jones, the Charlottesville-based actor is still making black theater. Scott-Jones created “Grounds” after considering the history of black life in mainstream entertainment, starting with the controversial “Amos ‘n’ Andy” radio-turnedtelevision program and continuing with sitcoms like “Martin” and others. These shows tend to “follow the same formula,” says Scott-Jones: the hijinks of the common man and his wife/girlfriend and best friend. Some have broken that mold and center on black women (“Living Single,” “Insecure”), or black college students (“A Different World,” “Dear White People”), but there’s room for more representations of black life. “Grounds” is about five black professors at a small, private PWI (predominantly white institution) in the South, and the first episode premieres Thursday, June 11, on the Eugene Martin LLC SoundCloud page. Scott-Jones called upon some of her black Ph.D.-holding friends (including locals A.D. Carson and Munier Nazeer) to advise on the scripts. They shared their passion for educating their students and for research, as well as the unique challenges they face in academia, and how that affects their places in black communities. Black academics are often made to feel shut out of both worlds.
“It was the opportunity to write some really wonderful characters,” says Scott-Jones. There’s Elijah Augustus Wright (played by Doug Spearman), a professor of civil engineering who is up for tenure. A gay man raised in a preacher’s home, he never mentions his family and hasn’t introduced his boyfriend of 10 years to his friends. Early on in the series, he’s accused of trading sexual favors for grades. Ivan Wilson (voiced by Jones) is a professor of 17th-century Russian literature who met and married his wife while studying in Russia. He reads his own poetry at a local open mic night, and fears the U.S. government is watching him because of his ties to Russia. Like Ivan, drug design and development professor Khai Muhammed Ali (James J. Johnson) thinks the government’s keeping an eye on him, but for different reasons: He’s a devout Muslim raised by a Black Panther father, and his research focuses on growing and testing cannabis for use in treating various health issues facing black communities. Ethnomusicologist Kwasi Adofo Sika (Kevin Troy) is an expert on African influences within hip-hop, but he prefers to listen to English punk and The Beatles. Born in Ghana and raised in the U.K., he’s the only professor in this cohort who did not attend an HBCU for any of his degrees. Parthenia Jacqueline “P.J.” Wiley-Reid (voiced by Scott-Jones), is a tenured professor and chair of the African and African American studies department. She and her husband have two children, and her signature color is red. This variety is what made Spearman, whose acting credits include roles on “Girlfriends,” “The Hughleys,” “Star Trek: Voyager,” and “Noah’s Arc,” agree to lend his voice. Too often, black male roles are “either some kind of supervillain or superhero,” he says. “We’re very rarely the kind of guys that we are.” Even on shows heralded for their portrayals of black life, “the men are usually there as problems to be overcome, or fixed, or dealt with,” says Spearman, who adds that he struggles

Less is more Grace Ho’s virtual exhibition ‘Solace’ transcends the online gallery By Ramona Martinez arts@c-ville.com
T
he paintings in “Solace,” shown this month on Studio IX’s virtual gallery, are large. Most of them are three-by-four feet, and would doubtless be particularly compelling in person. But it is a testament to Grace Ho’s voice as an artist that, even on a computer screen, her work leaves a big impression. In striking black and white, Venus-like figures are closely cropped in minimalist compositions. There is a keen sense of design here, and an almost intuitive understanding of the power of efficiency. To be able to depict a figure with just a few marks brings to mind artists like Matisse and Picasso—and “Solace” is in conversation with those masters. “Less is more, if you can swing it,” says Studio IX Gallery Curator Greg Antrim Kelly, “and Grace certainly can.” That approach is due to her other line of work: Ho is a digital designer at WillowTree, a mobile app and web development company in Charlottesville. She began painting a few years ago because she wanted to find “something outside of work.” Ho describes her past art experience as “drawing here and there,” though on her website she has posted a devastatingly effortless portrait of Jimi Hendrix that would make Egon Schiele take a second look. The show consists of 16 pieces: nine large paintings and a series of smaller, stream-of-consciousness drawings. The drawings were inspired in part by an Ecuadorian artist based in Brooklyn named Juan
Miguel Marin, who creates large, blackand-white vortices with a Sharpie, based on what’s going on around him at live events. Ho aims to emulate that free-spirited approach in these smaller pieces. She cites Marin as one of her biggest influences, but the strongest works in her show were clearly developed independent of his style. “Solace,” a theme chosen pre-coronavirus, is about the beauty of being alone with one’s self and present in the physical body. The figures in her paintings are bodies of mothers and middle-aged women, close-ups of how curves look while the back is arched or while lying down. There are rolls of fat and saggy bellies, but they are elegant and sensual. Although the aesthetic is very modern, the figures themselves are more classical. You can feel their weight, plump and soft. “Everybody’s trying to be so perfect, using visual tools to tune their body,” says Ho. “That’s why I wanted to paint some of the ‘imperfections’ that are beautiful and human.” Offline and alone, the women in these paintings are not performing. And if you know anything about the history of figurative art, this is significant. In Ways of Seeing, John Berger writes, “To be born a woman

with black women, in Charlottesville and in general, that I wanted to combat,” she says. This mural would be a powerful statement anywhere in the city, but its location—on the border of West Main Street and the historically black and now quickly gentrifying 10th and Page neighborhood—amplifies its message. Above the mural is the recently built Standard apartment complex, which offers “lavish amenities” for UVA students. To its right, the new Tenth Street Warehouses retail development. Across the parking lot from the mural is the Westhaven public housing community, built in the 1960s to house (mostly black) people whose homes in the Vinegar Hill and Gospel Hill neighborhoods were razed by the city in the name of “urban renewal.” Clemons didn’t select the site, but it’s significant to her. She and Bugg once lived in the neighborhood, and this afternoon, looking at the landscape around her, she can’t help but acknowledge how much it’s changed. She designed the mural a month ago, and says the image has taken on new meaning in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a white Minneapolis police officer, and the resulting protests against racial injustice. “It’s different now. It’s challenging to think about it in terms of police brutality and what that’s doing to the black community,” she says. “I hope that what this does is…present something different in terms of what’s happening within the black community.” “I’m reminding [people] that there’s strength happening as well.”

has been to be born, within an allotted and confined space, into the keeping of men.” Art for centuries has reflected this; in fact, the whole genre of the reclining nude basically came about so kings could have pictures of their mistresses to show off. Even as a woman artist, avoiding this patriarchal tradition takes real effort. Ho has managed to banish the male gaze from this figurative series. It feels like we are looking in on a private moment, but not voyeuristically. Another notable element of this series is the sense of space. In “Rest” and “Rise,” the figures look mountainous, and the composition almost becomes a landscape. Here the figures are echoing their natural source. The choice to use black and white also affects the perception of depth. In “Curve,” a remarkable work composed of only five white marks, the mainly black composition creates a void that gives us a sense of infinite space. In the future, Ho is interested in exploring painting that uses pigments found in nature. Thematically this makes sense, as her work is already tapped into something very organic. Two other paintings are worth mentioning separately: “Figure,” on a black canvas with white paint, is more experimental than the other work, and it is Ho’s favorite piece in the show. We can make out a head, a waist, and a woman’s bottom, but the rendering is much looser. There is movement in this piece that pushes your eyes around the composition, and it is absorbing, even though there isn’t technically much paint on the canvas at all. “Solace” ends on a personal note with “Ru,” a charcoal drawing of a mother and child on acrylic. Ho made it while she was feeling homesick, and thinking of her childhood in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She says she thinks of her mother a lot when she paints. “Ru” is reminiscent of the genre paintings, or scenes of domestic life, that women artists turned to instead of figurative work (from which they were barred for centuries). There is something beautifully poetic about a figurative show ending with a return to this tradition. “Solace” returns us, in many ways, to our roots.
COURTESY OF ARTIST
Grace Ho’s “Solace” is online at StudioIX.com through June 30.
n the afternoon of the year’s hottest day so far, Sahara Clemons stands at a concrete wall about three times her height, a roll of masking tape around her wrist, a brush in the other hand, cans of paint and a cup of melting bubble tea at her feet. As she puts the finishing touches on her mural for the Charlottesville Mural Project, Clemons, who grew up in the city and recently finished her first year at the Rhode Island School of Design, periodically steps back to consider her work. A larger-than-life black woman reclines across the full width of the wall, her face illuminated by the warm, intense, orange-pink light radiating from a lightning bolt she holds above her. She has the air of a goddess, powerful and at rest. Clemons found inspiration for the piece in her mother, Eboni Bugg. Bugg, who currently serves as director of programs for the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, is a licensed clinical social worker, a family reunification advocate, and a yoga instructor who has worked to make mental health resources more available and accessible to women of color in the area. “She has shown me a lot” about what it takes to become a leader in a very racially polarized community such as Charlottesville, says Clemons. “That really affected me.”
While the mural isn’t an exact likeness, Clemons says it is most certainly a representation of her mother’s essence. She drew inspiration from the lightning bolt tattoo on Bugg’s wrist. “She talks about it as empowerment…and empowerment in the ability to rest,” says Clemons. “Life is tiring for a black woman, and we don’t always get that luxury [of rest], whether or not we are in a leadership position. There’s [always] a level at which we are having to uphold some sort of position, some sort of level of expectation that sometimes goes beyond our capability.” To complement the lightning bolt, Clemons incorporated clouds (“they are about contemplation…rising above, heaven, the ethereal”) and light. A golden yellow halo circles the woman’s head and a sun emanates from the earring on her earlobe. Her dress looks as though it is composed of beams of light. “I don’t usually put [the sun] in all of my work, but it’s specific to black women, to black girl magic,” says Clemons, and depicting that in this work was important to her. “There is a lot of invisibility that happens

t the end of May, as Virginia businesses moved into Phase One of reopening, 12 Ridges Vineyard started welcoming visitors back to its tasting room, which overlooks, wait for it...12 acres of vineyards. Like many wineries, 12 Ridges, formerly Skylark Farm and, until now, best known as a Christmas tree farm, features incredible views, outdoor seating, and availability for weddings and events. What gives this new winery distinction is that the vines are planted at approximately 3,300 feet, making it the highest altitude vineyard site in the state of Virginia. At higher altitudes, cooler temperatures allow grapes to express themselves differently, with generally less sugar and more acid, producing wines lower in alcohol and brighter and livelier in taste. And there are other benefits to high altitude winemaking (like more direct and concentrated sunlight, larger differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures, and slopes allowing cool air and water to drain), but there are also challenges. Some sites are on the edge of being too cold for vines to grow. And steep slopes can make farming difficult, requiring manual labor and increasing costs. Still, it may be worth the risk. Joy Ting (this writer’s wife), research enologist and coordinator of the Winemakers Research Exchange, explains, “Virginia is a big state and we are still a wine region that is exploring as we evolve and mature. Are we planting in the right places? Are we ignoring areas that don’t fit preconceived notions and missing out on quality wine?” Jake Busching, who has grown grapes in Virginia for over 20 years, was responsible for planting 12 Ridges. He’s also the conThe high altitude plantings at 12 Ridges Vineyard put the new winery in an excellent position for crafting what could be Virginia’s best sparkling wine.
sultant at Stone Mountain Vineyards, where he was hired to replant its vineyards in 2017. Stone Mountain sits at an elevation of 1,750 feet and was initially planted in the mid-1990s with French varieties, the fashion at the time. Some of these did well, but others struggled in the cooler climate. So Busching worked with Stone Mountain owners Jim and Deanna Gephart to put in pinot noir and pinot gris, varieties known to thrive in cooler conditions. Busching says, “I’ve been steadfast about not putting red grapes (cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot) above that. But at that elevation, as Ankida Ridge has proven, you can do pinot noir...and chardonnay is beautiful.” Also at 1,750 feet, Ankida Ridge has earned a reputation for perhaps the best pinot noir in Virginia. Owners Christine and Dennis Vrooman, who first planted in 2008, recognized their site would be well-suited to pinot noir and chardonnay. 12 Ridges owner Craig Colberg draws inspiration from them, “I’ve tasted pinot noir from Ankida. It’s excellent. I aspire to pinot like theirs.” For 12 Ridges, Busching worked with Colberg to develop a vision of what would be possible at his extremely high site. Busching focused on cold-hardy varieties like chardonnay, pinot gris, riesling, and pinot noir, and he says he planted intentionally for sparkling wine. Most agree sparkling wine has great potential for Virginia, and Busching sees it as a unique opportunity for 12 Ridges. “Sparkling wine could be a

game changer because it’s a largely untapped market with high consumer demand,” he says. “12 Ridges has the potential to be the best sparkling wine in Virginia.” Among those on Colberg’s team are winemaker Ben Jordan, whose labels include Early Mountain Vineyards, Lightwell Survey, and his family’s Midland Construction. In addition, Tim Jordan, who grows grapes on the Jordan family farm, will be the vineyard manager going forward. Jordan says he embraces the challenge of learning about growing at 12 Ridges. “What remains to be seen is whether they are too high and too exposed to winter cold...What ripens and when it ripens will be fun to find out.” Busching similarly notes the unique challenge of the site, requiring cold-weather vineyard management in winter but hot-weather management in summer. For example, soil is mounded up around the vines in winter to protect them, a process that is reversed in summer, when rainfall and humidity require disease prevention and, despite the shorter growing season, there is still vigorous growth from the fertile soil that requires careful pruning. Colberg seems well-informed about both the risks and rewards. “It’s my goal to become the premier cool climate vineyard in the state,” he says. I think there is a demand for something that is still high-quality, but a different experience on the palate.” Meanwhile, Christine Vrooman at Ankida Ridge is advocating for a new American Viticultural Area to recognize higher altitude vineyards in Virginia. If she succeeds, this would be the first new AVA approved in Virginia since 2012. Vrooman is modeling her plan after the Mendocino Ridge AVA in California, which has boundaries defined by elevation. It includes only vineyards higher than 1,200 feet and therefore currently holds the distinction as the only non-contiguous AVA. The AVA Vrooman is proposing would be the second. As the Virginia wine industry matures, there are risks and unknowns, but there is also vision for the future and a desire for the new and unique. Here’s hoping that the combination of high altitudes, better winegrowing techniques, and a willingness to take risks results in another exciting chapter for Virginia wine.
(May 21-June 20): According to novelist Octavia E. Butler, “Positive obsession is about not being able to stop just because you’re afraid and full of doubts.” That’s what I wish for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: positive obsession. It’s also what I expect! My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will have the pluck and craftiness necessary to veer away from murky, disturbing versions of obsession. Instead, you’ll embrace the exhilarating kind of obsession that buoys your spirit in moments of uncertainty. I foresee you making progress on your most important labor of love.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, was a Cancerian physicist and mathematician who contributed to the understanding of thermodynamics and other areas of scientific and engineering knowledge. Despite his considerable intelligence, he was myopic about the possibility that humans might one day fly through the air while seated inside machines. In a 1902 interview—a year before the Wright Brothers’ breakthrough experiment—he declared, “No aeroplane will ever be successful.” I suspect you could be on the verge of passing through a Lord Kelvin phase, Cancerian. You may at times be highly insightful and at other times curiously mistaken. So I urge you to be humbly confident and confidently humble!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re primed to navigate your way through a sweetly gritty, tenderly transformative, epically meaningful turning point in the history of your relationship with your favorite collaborator or collaborators. If that sounds too intense, you could at least accomplish an interesting, stimulating, educational shift in the way you fit together with your best ally or allies. It’s up to you, Sagittarius. How much love and intimacy and synergy can you handle? I won’t judge you harshly if you’d prefer to seek the milder version of deepening right now. Besides, you’ll probably get a chance to go further later this year.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Actor Emma Thompson tells us, “I wish I wouldn’t have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They’re kinder.” Adding to what she observes, I’ll say that for many people, their suffering has also made them smarter and more soulful and more compassionate. Not always, but often, it’s the pain they’ve suffered that has helped turn them into thoughtful companions who know how to nourish others. I urge you to make a special point to converse with people like this in the near future. In my estimation, you will benefit from intense doses of empathetic nurturing.

Aries (March 21-April 19): During her 90 years on the planet, actor and singer Marlene Dietrich reinvented herself numerous times. She had superb insight into the nature of shifting rhythms, and a knack for gauging the right moment to adapt and transform. Good timing, she said, came naturally to people like her, as well as for “aerialists, jugglers, diplomats, publicists, generals, prize-fighters, revolutionists, financiers, and lovers.” I would add one more category to her list: the Aries tribe. Make maximum use of your talent in the coming weeks.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Author and theologian Frederick Buechner writes, “There is treasure buried in the field of every one of our days, even the bleakest or dullest, and it is our business to keep our eyes peeled for it.” In alignment with current astrological potentials, Taurus, I’ll name that as your key theme.

(Oct. 23-Nov.21): “I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old,” wrote poet Charles Baudelaire. Was he bragging or complaining? Did the weight of his past feel like a burden or did it exhilarate him and dynamize his creative powers? I’m hoping that in the coming weeks your explorations of your past will feel far more like the latter—a gift and blessing that helps you understand aspects of your history that have always been mysterious or murky.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Lucumi is an Afro-American religion with Yoruban roots. Its practitioners worship their ancestors, and seek regular contact and communion with them. According to Lucumi priestess Luisah Teish, “Sometimes the ancestors deem certain information so important that they send it to the subconscious mind without being consciously asked.” It’s my belief that all of us, whether or not we’re members of the Lucumi religion, can be in touch with the spirits of our ancestors if we would like to be—and receive useful guidance and insight from them. The coming weeks will be a time when you Pisceans are especially likely to enjoy this breakthrough. Odds are good it will happen if you have an intention to instigate it, but it may come to pass even if you don’t seek it.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Philosopher and astrologer Marsilio Ficino wrote, “Mortals ask God for good things every day, but they never pray that they may make good use of them.” I hope that in the coming weeks, you Virgos will disprove that cynical view of human beings. As I see it, you will be more likely than usual to actually receive the blessings you ask for. And I hope—in fact, I predict—that when you receive the blessings, you will then aggressively seek the help of God or life or your deepest wisdom to make good use of them.

rential rains there caused a “superbloom” of poppies. Millions of the golden-orange wildflowers covered many acres of Walker Canyon. They attracted another outbreak of beauty: thousands of painted lady butterflies, which came to visit. The magnificent explosion was so vast, it was visible from a satellite high above the earth. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re experiencing a metaphorical superbloom of your own right now, Aquarius. I hope you will find constructive ways to channel that gorgeous fertility.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Author Marianne Williamson tells us, “Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.” And what exactly does it mean to “give up the stories of your past?” Here’s what I think: 1. Don’t assume that experiences you’ve had before will be repeated in the future. 2. Don’t assume that your ideas about the nature of your destiny will always be true. 3. Even good things that have happened before may be small and limited compared to the good things that could happen for you in the years to come. 4. Fully embrace the truth that the inherent nature of existence is endless transformation— which is why it’s right and natural for you to ceaselessly outgrow the old plot lines of your life story and embrace new ones.
one point I spied empty Budweiser cans amidst the wild jewelflowers. “What kind of nature-hater was so careless as to despoil this wonderland?” I fumed. For a few moments I was consumed with rage and forgot where I was. By the time I recovered my bearings, the bobcat and red-tailed hawk I’d previously been observing had disappeared. That made me sad. My anger was justified but wasteful, irrelevant, and distracting. It caused me to lose touch with some glorious beauty. Don’t be like me in the coming days, Libra. Keep your eyes on the prize.

What to do?
Since many of us are feeling nostalgic these days for summers past, we decided to take a stroll down Memory Lane in the latest issue of Abode, where you’ll find 15 of the coolest hot spots from the last 6 years. We revisit some of our favorite pools, porches, and gardens; the best places to extend living spaces and connect with the great outdoors. Among them are a sunny swimming site on an antebellum property; a train-car home designed to allow as much outside time as possible; and a contemporary garden that brings many layers of history together. On stands now!

espite rumors to the contrary, the game of golf is alive and well. And the real estate surrounding golf courses still commands a premium, whether or not the owners play the game. If you think the only people that live in golf communities are hard-core golfers, think again. Greg Slater, REALTOR® with Nest Realty Group, guesses only one fourth of the residents of Old Trail Village play golf. That might seem low, but if you’ve lived in a golf course community you understand there are more attractions than just the game. Among them are premium real estate values, privacy, beauty, the club lifestyle, and the potential entertainment of watching the game play out just beyond your back yard.
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
A Beautiful Landscape Imagine sitting on your back deck, overlooking the green on the 12th hole. Azaleas are in full bloom and you watch the players strike from the tees on this par three. The golfers cross the bridge, happy to have avoided the water and you anticipate witnessing at least one birdie, maybe even an eagle. Alternatively, you can be sitting on your back deck and waving to your nextdoor neighbor who is grilling burgers and dogs.
Which would you choose? The privacy and beauty that surrounds a home adjacent to the course is a major draw, but it’s not total privacy. Michael Guthrie, CEO and Managing Broker of Roy Wheeler Realty Co., describes it as “common ground.” He says, “No one will live behind you, but players will be walking by when the course is open, perhaps even searching for an errant shot that landed in your yard. Don’t buy a house on a golf course unless you’re OK with that.”
GOLF Communities: Not Just for Golfers BY CARLA HUCKABEE
Would you rather hear the ‘thwack’ of a driver, or watch a group putting on the green? Guthrie advises, “Consult with someone who knows the game if you don’t play. Your exact location on the course can make a big difference in the likelihood of house damage from bad shots.” When no one is on the course the beauty is most striking. Central Virginia golf communities offer gorgeous views of the course, lakes, or mountains. Living near environmentally sensitive and preserved landscapes allows residents to enjoy nature. The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program recognizes courses that achieve high environmental quality and preserve natural heritage. Keswick Club’s Full Cry and Birdwood both received this prestigious certification.
Not Just Golf Amenity rich golf course communities attract golfers and non-golfers alike. Onsite restaurants are a great place to socialize with family, neighbors, and guests. REALTOR® Pam Dent, with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc., says the top-notch tennis courts, swimming facilities, and fitness centers offered by golf communities provide fun and value for everyone in the household. “In Louisa County, Spring Creek’s 25-meter saltwater pool and the walking trails have almost universal appeal. And the clubhouse gets frequent use as a gathering space by residents and guests. Dent advises buyers looking for a certain lifestyle to check out Glenmore. The Glenmore Country Club is known
for its fine dining and this gated community east of Charlottesville, has 12 tennis courts, pools for kids and adults, walking and riding trails. “Glenmore was built on the site of a stately Virginia horse farm and continues in that tradition with an attached equestrian center. This unique golf and equestrian community offers a wide selection of real estate, from cottages to large and luxurious homes.” Wintergreen, which Conde Nast Traveler magazine selected as one of the top 50 golf resorts in the world, offers another unique setting. REALTOR® Steve Marianella, with Wintergreen Realty, LLC, says, “There aren’t many places where you can ski and play championship golf on the same day. But here you can because of our 3,000-foot elevation change. At the base of the mountain, Stoney Creek is open year-round, so when the weather cooperates, a skier can come off the mountain and use their ski pass for a round of golf.” If you like elevation, Devils Knob is the course for you. Wintergreen’s private mountaintop course sits at 3,800 feet and is the highest course in Virginia, delivering cool temperatures in summer and stunning fall foliage views in autumn. It is open from April through October. In the off season, residents enjoy Devils Knob for its excellent hiking.
Value Proposition “There’s no doubt that having a home adjacent to a golf course is an insulator of value,” says Slater. “The privacy, natural settings, and maintained grounds increase its overall value proposition.
While you may pay an initial premium to live on the course, everything works together to see that the value and high demand will stay with that house when it’s time to sell.” Marianella agrees. “Living in a golf course community preserves your real estate value. Wintergreen is a four-season resort and golf is one of our biggest attractions in the warmer months. At Devils Knob, 90 percent of the homes are second homes with nearly half of those available for short-term rentals. At Stoney Creek, two thirds of owners are full-time residents.” “Homes in golf communities usually have higher values and they stay in demand,” says Dent. “The amenities and the views can’t be beat. Homes on the Old Trail Village Golf Course have some of Albemarle County’s best views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.”
Golf Intertwined with History Once you know you want to live in a golf community, the difficult task will be to narrow down your options. There is nearly a century of history from which to choose. The old timers are Keswick Estates, where the golf course opened in 1912, and Farmington Country Club golf course that opened in 1924. “As expected,” Dent says, “these historic treasures feature stunning custom-built multimillion-dollar homes with large lots on rolling hills.” Keswick Hall, at the entrance of Keswick Estate’s gated community, is undergoing renovations and should reopen late summer 2020. The golf course is open during renovations of the resort. Building lots are a minimum of two acres and range from $289,000 to $630,000. Farmington, just west of Charlottesville, boasts 27 holes of golf, outdoor and indoor tennis courts, a zero-depth pool and large fitness center. It is one of the

oldest private clubs in Virginia, dating back to the 1700s. But Farmington is keeping things fresh with its two-year-old Performance Center, including five indoor hitting bays open year-round. Current real estate offerings at Farmington include a $5,495,000 six-bedroom estate as well as a three-acre lot for $850,000. Just a five-minute drive from Keswick Estates, a newer addition to these elite golf communities opened in 1992. Glenmore’s private gated community includes more than 500 acres of common greenway landscaping, increasing a homeowner’s sense of privacy. The club offers a full slate of year-round country club activities, including a professional equestrian center. Listings at Glenmore range from $524,900 to $1,385,000. Half-acre lots are available for as low as $270,000. The 1960s and 1970s ushered in Stanardsville’s Greene Hills Country Club, the golf course at Lake Monticello’s gated community in Fluvanna County, and Wintergreen’s Stoney Creek in Nelson County. In 2005, Louisa County’s Spring Creek and Crozet’s Old Trail Village courses opened, and both offer new home sites. These five additions represent more affordable options in varied locations. Greene Hills is a rural, semi-private member-owned course started by local farmers. REALTOR® Matthew Woodson, with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., says
the course. If you like to play golf, living on the course makes perfect sense, allowing quick and easy access to the game you love. But will a 600-year-old game that takes four hours to play continue to be popular? And if golf ’s popularity declines, what will happen to real estate values in golf communities? There is a big push to expand golf’s appeal. Two successful strategies are attracting youth and speeding up the game. Guthrie serves on the Board of Directors of The First Tee of the Virginia Blue Ridge that supports junior programs. “Having your child play where you live is a great reason to live on the course.” Both Guthrie and Slater tout the tremendous achievements of Kandi Comer, one of the top instructors in Virginia. Slater calls her “golf ’s pied piper” for her ability to attract youngsters to golf. Kandi Comer Golf has recently moved to Orchard Creek (formerly Waynesboro Country Club) in Waynesboro. Few people have the luxury or inclination to spend four hours on the course. The Tee It Forward program encourages players to use the appropriate set of tees to be more competitive and speed up the game, both of which keep players coming back. An early morning outing off the back nine can cut play time to about 90 min-
it attracts members from surrounding counties. “Conservation easements restrict the number of homes and lots on the course. But interest in the 22lot Octania Highlands community five minutes away is growing, in part due to the fantastic golf nearby.” “Lake Monticello offers some of the most affordable options for buyers looking for a home in a golf community,” according to Dent. The range of home sizes and prices, and choice of golf course and waterfront homes make this an intriguing option. Slater says buyers in Old Trail Village are “buying the whole package: schools, walkable community, shops, and 18 holes of great golf.” Homes include villas, townhomes, single family and luxury homes; both resale and custom builds. Near Zion Crossroads, Spring Creek was ranked second in Best Virginia Golf Courses in 2019 by Golf Advisor, and 66th in Golf Digest’s America’s Top 100 Public Courses.
utes. Coming this summer, Birdwood’s newly renovated course will offer a sixhole option that should take about an hour to play. Other innovations include golf boards replacing golf carts to appeal to the younger crowd. And FlingGolf combines golf and lacrosse on a regular golf course and is gaining popularity in some places. Another factor working in golf’s favor is the uncertainty over COVID-19. Golf courses have stayed open because players can maintain social distancing. Guthrie says, “This bit of control over who and how many people you come into contact with may increase participation.” All this to say that golf courses are here for the long haul. And the real estate adjacent to those courses is likely to continue to gain and hold premium values. Potential buyers should seek out a REALTOR® that is a golf community specialist; one that knows golf, knows the community, and knows the staff of courses and clubs. She should be able to introduce you to the club manager and pro so you can decide which of the many wonderful golf communities in Central Virginia fits you to a tee.
