‘Symbols of our history’

P.O. Box 119 308 E. Main St. Charlottesville, Virginia 22902

I was in Charlottesville this past Saturday to attend the UVA basketball game. I visited the Corner, and picked up a copy of your paper. I am writing to comment on your article about the statues in Charlottesville [Checking in: What’s happened to the city’s racist statues? April 27]. I take issue with your description of them as “racist” statues. They are not “racist.” They are symbols of our history that educate the general public. I have noticed that people are becoming more ignorant of basic American history. By tearing down these beautiful statues you are making the masses even more ignorant. I was pleased to see that the Confederate statues in the outlying counties are still standing. Those people still have some common sense. I am sending you a copy of the brochure on the Confederate statue here in my hometown of Alexandria, VA (the hometown of both George Washington and Robert E. Lee). The statue was taken down two years ago in June 2020 to protect it from vandalism. It’s sad we are tearing down our statues. We have become like communist Russia. I am a 61-year-old lifelong Alexandrian. And I don’t like change. Greg Paspatis Alexandria

Fair and balanced? Your articles are really opinion pieces, and far from balanced reporting. The left liberal bias of wokey wonderment and “cancel culture” glee have collateral damage. No matter, liberals have no accountability. City-disposed statues—no one accounts for the big expense of removal, meanwhile your jails are in ruins as no $$. Duh??? At least half of the country does not agree with the “racist” term/card. So what, you say! The city will survive as the medical facilities will keep the lights on. The university and the city are dwindling. Why is liberal wonderment day in and day out: Masses do not want to live near C’ville due to the wokey actions, and are commuting/building in many small cities. Half the nation avoids touring C’ville, [they have] many other choices vs. liberal thrashing. Does not matter to you. Montpelier articles: Liberal bias slant abounds. I have worked with Montpelier staff for over seven years and am an avid supporter. The foundation has more than struggled financially during the misinformation pandemic. I am sick that this mess has happened. I doubt the opinion pieces you wrote have the whole story, and [they] do not matter because the damage has been done. As tourists avoid the liberal bastion of C’ville the same will happen to Montpelier. Congrats, the cancel culture destroys more history. Once the liberal media and lawyers get involved, all will be losers in the end. Your kindred [spirits] at The Washington Post completely plagiarized their left-wing article. Okay for the liberals. I have wasted enough time. You and your owners will not change. Golly, not a single article on Ukraine, open border, national security, inflation—never mind, not liberal press topics.

IN BRIEF

Closing the book Last week, Jane Kulow and Sarah Lawson both resigned from the Virginia Festival of the Book. Lawson had worked as the festival’s associate director for several years, while Kulow had served as its program director since 2014, following the retirement of longtime director Nancy Damon. The pair declined to publicly comment on the reason for their unexpected departures.

The Charlottesville School Board unanimously voted last week to allow Superintendent Royal Gurley Jr. to begin working with the Charlottesville Education Association on a collective bargaining resolution. Board members have expressed support for collective bargaining, but claimed they need more information on how it will work in the school district. Union supporters hope the board will approve a resolution by the end of the school year.

the board as a way to achieve “structural parity” with descendants of enslaved workers. There appeared to be a breakthrough last week when the board announced it would vote on nine new MDC-recommended members at the May 16 meeting, and that all would assume full board membership that day. In an email, Werkheiser asked the foundation to confirm several points, including that the status of current foundation board members and MDC Chair James French, would not change on May 16. Werkheiser says the foundation has not answered that question. In an email, foundation spokesperson Joe Slay says the foundation doesn’t plan to make any public statements in response to MDC questions.

Albemarle County approves plastic bag tax Stock up on your reusable grocery bags, Albemarle County shoppers—last week, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a disposable plastic tax. Starting January 1, stores will charge 5 cents per plastic bag. The board also approved hikes to the transient occupancy tax for hotel guests, as well as the food and beverage tax. On July 1, the occupancy tax will increase from 5 to 8 percent, while the meals tax will increase from 4 to 6 percent. The supervisors did, however, vote to decrease the county’s personal property

tax rate by 86 cents. The new rate is now $3.42 per $100 of assessed value. And in light of the increase in property values, they opted not to raise the real estate tax rate—it remains 78.8 cents per $100 of assessed value. These tax hikes come after Charlottesville City Council approved a 1 cent real estate tax and .5 percent meals tax increase last month to help fund the costly renovation of Buford Middle School. City homeowners now pay 96 cents per $100 of the assessed value of their property, while diners pay a 6.5 percent meals tax.

ith less than a week before the May 16 meeting of the Montpelier Foundation board, initial interviews with 20 candidates put forth by the Montpelier Descendants Committee are underway. But MDC attorney Greg Werkheiser says there are still concerns that the dispute between the two organizations isn’t fully resolved. “They have refused to answer other questions that would confirm they are done playing games,” Werkheiser says of the foundation.

Will Rob Bell run in the newly redrawn 55th District?

Questions linger in Montpelier controversy May 11 – 17, 2022 c-ville.com

Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Chair Donna Price and local emergency department nurse Kellen Squire are running for the Democratic nomination for the newly redrawn 55th District in the Virginia House of Delegates, which includes most of Albemarle County, along with parts of Nelson, Louisa, and Fluvanna counties. The majority of the new district—approved by the Virginia Supreme Court in December—is what was once the 58th District, and has been represented by Republican Delegate Rob Bell for two decades. Squire ran unsuccessfully against Bell in 2017 for the 58th District seat. Bell has not announced if he plans to run for the new seat—however, it may not even be up for grabs yet. If a pending federal lawsuit seeking to force the state to hold House elections this fall under the redrawn maps— filed by former state Democratic Party chair Paul Goldman—is dismissed, elections won’t be held until next year.

“Charlottesville is just a wonderful place to live.”

May 11 – 17, 2022 c-ville.com

n the nearly 60 years that he has lived in Charlottesville, University of Virginia history professor George Gilliam has had a long career spanning multiple areas of public service and politics. Now, he is retiring after giving his final lecture last week. From 1972 to 1976, Gilliam served on the Charlottesville City Council, helping to pass monumental legislation. During his tenure, councilors approved the creation of the Downtown Mall and McGuffey Art Center, as well as the city’s public and school bus systems. In 1974, Gilliam also ran as the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. After being active in local politics and working as a lawyer in Charlottesville for 25 years, Gilliam—who received his law degree from UVA in 1968, after graduating from Columbia University in 1965—decided in his late 50s that he wanted to return to academia, heading back to UVA to earn his master’s degree in history. He taught classes at Piedmont Virginia Community College and Washington and Lee University, before joining UVA’s history department in 1999. The longtime professor often tells his students how much more rewarding teaching is than practicing law. “The feeling that I developed of lawyering was that every single day when I would get up, I knew I was going to be angry,” says Gilliam. “I was gonna be fighting over something with somebody. I just finally got to the point where I said, ‘I just don’t find this any fun.’ And that’s when I decided to start exploring seriously what I would need to do in order to go back to school.” While earning his Ph.D. in history from UVA, Gilliam ran the Miller Center Forum—a public affairs program inviting world-class speakers for a one-hour conversation—and worked to get the program on PBS stations, hosting 400 guests over eight years. He’s also served as the center’s

senior fellow for national engagement, and assistant director for public programs. At the age of 71, Gilliam finally received his Ph.D. in 2013—he says that it is one of the most difficult things he has ever done, but that he loved every minute of it. Gilliam’s own family history coincided with the major historical events he teaches in class. He was born around the time the U.S. entered into World War II. All of his grandparents were born in the 1880s in Petersburg, Virginia, while his great-grandparents fought in the Civil War. Although Gilliam stands on a different side of the Civil War from them, he grew up with a respect for history, and wanted to tell the truth about what happened in the past. “One of the things that I find the most interesting and challenging about history is that so much of what I learned growing up is wrong,” says Gilliam. ”Textbooks were wrong. The people who were teaching, they weren’t particularly well prepared [so] I’ve tried to spend time sort of untangling things.” After retiring, Gilliam will continue working on a project examining Virginia’s response to massive resistance, when white schools across the state, including Venable Elementary and Lane High schools, closed to prevent desegregation in the 1950s. He is in the process of interviewing around 60 people who were students during that turbulent era. He also plans to travel around country for a few years with his wife, but has no plans to move away from Charlottesville. He says he loves the city mainly for the students, some of whom he has remained in touch with over the past two decades. He also enjoys watching UVA basketball and football games—he taught all but one member of the school’s basketball team that won the national championship in 2019. “Charlottesville is just a wonderful place to live. The longer we’re here, the more we like it,” says Gilliam. “It would take something very, very powerful to get us to leave Charlottesville.”

No relief Housing advocates predict eviction spike as state rent relief program nears end By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

STAFF PHOTO

The Legal Aid Justice Center doesn’t have enough funding to guarantee a lawyer for every area resident facing eviction, but it has recently hired more attorneys, which means it can represent more tenants.

The Legal Aid Justice Center urges anyone who receives an eviction notice to show up to their court date. “There have been property managers and landlords telling people [not to go], and that’s the easiest way to automatically lose your case,” says Moriah Wilkins, LAJC’s Skadden Legal Fellow. “The number-one thing you can do to advocate for yourself is just be present,” adds Victoria McCullough, co-chair of DSA’s housing justice committee. “That will give you some time between the first court date and whatever else happens next to shore up some support, and we can try to help you with that.” Additionally, tenants at risk of losing their homes should keep records of correspondence they’ve had with their landlord. Through June 30, all landlords are required under state law to give tenants who are behind on rent a written 14-day notice to pay what they owe, including information about

the 211 assistance line and—until it ends— the Virginia Rent Relief Program, before proceeding with an eviction. Those who own four units must also offer a payment plan of up to six months for past-due rent. And before May 15, landlords are required to apply to the VRRP on the tenant’s behalf during the 14-day notice period, if the tenant has not already applied or agreed to a payment plan. “If there are any legal errors in the notice given to you by your landlord, you may be able to prevent or delay your eviction,” says Wilkins. Until June 30, landlords will still be prohibited from evicting tenants who’ve applied to the VRRP, unless they are not approved to receive relief within 45 days, are found ineligible, or the program runs out of funding. Local residents facing eviction can contact the LAJC for legal assistance, including help filling out their VRRP application. In July, Charlottesville City Council allocated

But on May 15, the program will stop accepting new applications due to dwindling funds, leaving struggling renters with few other assistance options. Once the program ends, Charlottesville and Albemarle residents facing eviction can still apply to the Pathways Fund (833524-2904), which is prioritizing tenants who owe less than $1,000 in back rent. And across the state, residents in need of rent relief—among other types of assistance— should call 211 to see what local resources are available to them. However, many community assistance programs have run out of funding over the past two years, explains Lydia Brunk, cochair of Charlottesville Democratic Socialists of America’s Housing Justice Committee, which connects local residents facing eviction with resources. The state’s program has been the sole source of relief for many tenants behind on rent. “There are definitely community organizations doing good work, but they can’t be expected to fill in the big giant hole that’s going to be left by an entire statewide-funded eviction prevention program,” says Brunk. “It’s simply not reasonable for the state to pull back this huge social funding, and then for the community to try and patch up the holes.” With limited rent relief available, housing advocates predict a spike in evictions in the coming weeks. Over the past few months, evictions have already been on the rise— since February 28, there have been 77 eviction hearings in Charlottesville and 260 in Albemarle County, according to court data collected by Charlottesville DSA. During the week of April 11, the two localities had over 85 hearings combined.

$300,000 in American Rescue Plan funds to the nonprofit to create an eviction prevention pilot program. With legal representation, tenants facing eviction are far more likely to remain in their homes—yet few can afford a lawyer. Meanwhile, a majority of landlords have attorneys with them in court. LAJC is also currently in the process of finalizing a $200,000 contract with Albemarle County for eviction prevention. Though LAJC has not received enough funding to guarantee a lawyer for every local resident facing eviction, it has been able to hire additional attorneys since last summer, enabling it to represent more tenants. More funding from the city may be on the way. “This budget cycle we also voted to allocate $1 million to boost our rent and mortgage relief programs, [but] additional money could potentially be added to support emergency rent relief/eviction prevention when the second tranche of our American Rescue Plan Act money becomes available,” Councilor Michael Payne told C-VILLE in an email. “We haven’t yet had any formal discussions about how to fully allocate that money.” According to Wilkins, LAJC is prioritizing local residents with unlawful detainers, especially those with housing subsidies. Even if the nonprofit’s lawyers are unable to take on a tenant’s case, they give them free advice on what to do on their court date. “We tell people to ask for a hearing. This is when you will have the opportunity to argue your case, and stay in your home,” says Wilkins. “And if you have applied to rent relief prior to May 15, let the judge know— that can be another protection.” In the meantime, housing advocates encourage struggling tenants to apply to the VRRP as soon as possible—applicants often endure lengthy wait times. Households that make less than half their area’s median income, or with one or more people who have been unemployed for at least 90 days, are being prioritized until the application deadline.

Our bodies, our choice Leaked Supreme Court draft opinion sparks fear, outrage… and hope By Courteney Stuart courteney@c-ville.com

EZE AMOS

Students and community members gathered for a teach-in at the UVA Rotunda following a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.

Courteney Stuart is the host of “Charlottesville Right Now” on WINA. You can hear interviews with Kobby Hoffman, Siva Vaidhyanathan, and Abe Nelson at wina.com.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Hoffman says the looming reversal of Roe is more evidence of the need for the Equal Rights Amendment, which would enshrine women’s rights in the Constitution. “Everyone needs to be aware that there’s something called ‘strict scrutiny,’” she says. “And that applies to race and to religion. And if we had the Equal Rights Amendment and it said that you could not discriminate on the basis of sex, then you would be able to go back on things like abortion and say, please look at this again, because you need to apply strict scrutiny, not something lesser, and maybe the outcome would be different.” With the Supreme Court’s final decision in Dobbs v. Jackson due by the end of term this summer, activists on both sides of the issue are preparing for a post-Roe world. Nelson says he doesn’t believe the statistics that show low-income women will be disproportionately affected by the end of legal abortion or that a forced pregnancy will have a negative impact on a woman’s life. “If we were to pour…even a fraction of the resources that currently go into this battle that we’re engaged in over Roe versus Wade…into supporting life in a post-Roe world, we would be in a much better position supporting organizations that come alongside women and men affected by unplanned and crisis pregnancies,” he says. Hoffman says engaging voters in local, state, and national elections is critical. “It matters. It really matters,” she says. “And everything that we do, it adds up. And we can make a big wave that will make people realize how big this is, how important this is to all of our lives and to our future, for our future, for our country and its democracy and so many different aspects.”

@cville_weekly

Local conservative elected officials stayed mum or stuck to comments on the ethical breach the leak represents. Delegate Rob Bell declined to comment on the draft opinion or any state legislative efforts that might follow such a final decision from the Supreme Court. State Senator Bryce Reeves did not respond to a reporter’s request for comment. But activists who have fought to outlaw abortion in Virginia and beyond voiced hope that the draft ruling will represent the court’s final decision. “We are not the ones that have a right to define who lives and who dies,” says Abe Nelson of the grassroots group Charlottesville Pro-Life, which is opposed to abortion in all cases, including rape and incest. Nelson hopes the leak won’t change the conservative justices’ support for the opinion, and he believes the right to access abortion should be determined by individual states. “It’s right to bring this back to a status where we as a people, as individuals and citizens, can speak into this issue more directly,” Nelson says. “Now, I would hope that our direction in that would be one that affirms the value of life from the moment of conception.” UVA Media Studies Professor Siva Vaidhyanathan, co-creator of the Democracy in Danger podcast, says the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion is further evidence of the decline of U.S. democracy. A majority of the American public supports the right to choose, he says, and he points out that the basis for Alito’s opinion would also undercut other hard-won civil rights. “Even though same-sex marriage is remarkably popular around the country, it is vulnerable because you can no longer rely on that basic principle that what consenting adults do in their homes is not the business of the government to restrict,” Vaidhyanathan says. “And so, you know, I see this as softening up the process for addressing…LGBTQ issues rather directly and maybe going beyond that, maybe looking at restricting certain forms of contraception.”

ours after a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion made real the likelihood that Roe v. Wade will be fully overturned by summer, reversing decades of legal protection for a woman’s right to control her own body, protesters gathered in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Charlottesville. “This is so major, because if you read the draft… it basically says that Roe v. Wade is not legitimately based in the original decision back in 1973,” says Kobby Hoffman, founder of the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund, which provides funding to allow lowincome women to access abortions. The immediate past president of the local chapter of the National Organization for Women, Hoffman is currently a NOW delegate representing eight states. She helped organize the courthouse protest and spoke over cars horns honking in support and her fellow protesters’ chants. “Of course, we have no idea where it will end up,” Hoffman says of the draft opinion. “It’s very extreme. I would say, if you care about women in your household or that you know, or if you are a woman, you should definitely be on high alert and acting because your future is at stake.” As pro-choice advocates across the country reacted with alarm to the majority opinion drafted by the George W. Bush-appointed uber-conservative Justice Samuel Alito and signed by justices Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, Republican elected officials who have long voiced opposition to abortion also expressed outrage, not over the content of the draft, but with the leak itself. “I am in utter disbelief that the sacred confidentiality of the Supreme Court would be violated in this manner,” Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said in a release the day the draft leaked, alleging it was “done in order to cause chaos and to put pressure on justices and elected officials.” Youngkin insisted speculation on the Supreme Court’s final decision is “premature,” and wrote that he prefers to direct attention elsewhere. “While we wait for the final June decision, we will be focused on lowering taxes for Virginians, funding education and law enforcement because we need to get a budget passed,” his statement reads. Unlike dozens of other states, Virginia has no “trigger law” that kicks into place outlawing abortion immediately if Roe is overturned, so abortion will remain legal in the commonwealth in the immediate future unless new legislation is passed. “Virginians—please know your right to abortion is protected in state law for now,” tweeted Delegate Sally Hudson. “Holding our Senate and flipping the House is how we keep it that way.” At a town hall appearance on Wednesday, 7th District Representative Abigail Spanberger also weighed in, urging action at the federal legislative level. “This leaked draft Supreme Court opinion is poised to erase a woman’s right to privacy and reproductive health care that has been settled law for nearly a half century. The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to codify Roe v. Wade. The U.S. Senate needs to follow suit and pass this bill.”

f Kat Maier were a plant, you could say she has released her seeds all around Charlottesville. She’s been here since 2005, teaching and practicing herbalism, so at this point she has many former students and clients in and around town. Her Belmont home, also the site of her apothecary, classroom, and garden, is a node where all these people—and many plants, from the weedy to the endangered—have gathered. The place itself, you might say, is a kind of tincture, or concentration, of our area. On a visit in late spring, the garden is bursting with fragrant azaleas, plus the foliage of low-growing plants like goldenseal, trillium, and bloodroot. Maier is warm and welcoming, with intense blue eyes and a ready laugh. She sits in a shady backyard spot and explains that her new book, Energetic Herbalism, distills wisdom gleaned not only from her years of work in Charlottesville, but the two previous decades she spent in Rappahannock County. It’s a guide to several world traditions of herbalism and 25 of the most essential medicinal plants. She’ll give a book talk at New Dominion on May 13. “I never went to herb school,” she says, summarizing a life history that she details more fully in the book’s introduction. “I really apprenticed to the plants. I taught myself by spending incredible amounts of time in Shenandoah National Park.” She also trained as a physician’s assistant—a grounding in Western medicine that shows, for example, in her requirement that students bone up on anatomy, physiology, and the Latin names of the plants they use. But one senses that herbalism, for Maier, is really a matter of the spirit. “For me, the foundation is that relationship with the plant,” she says. “I feel like she has been studying it and living it constantly for all these years,” says Katherine Herman, who completed the three-year herbalism course at Maier’s school, Sacred Plant Traditions, in 2013 and went on to found Gathered Threads, an herb farm in Nelson County. “It’s not just book knowledge. It’s just amazing the amount of wisdom that she has.” A quick dip into Energetic Herbalism hints at the breadth of that wisdom; you might be looking for basic information on the uses of calendula, say, and find yourself reading about how the history of colonialism relates to our sense of disconnectedness from nature. Maier advocates for a lifelong practice of curiosity and humility toward plants. “Often when I lead a plant walk, people ask me whether this plant or that one is ‘good for anything,’” she writes. “Imagine if someone introduced me to you and, after greeting you, I wondered aloud whether you were good for anything, or how I could use you.”

Kat Maier is a trained physician’s assistant with over 30 years of experience teaching and practicing herbal medicine. She will read from her new book, Energetic Herbalism, at New Dominion Bookshop on May 13.

“Our major medicines are chickweed, dandelion, cleavers— all the plants on the Roundup label.” KAT MAIER Besides running Sacred Plant Traditions, Maier has also been deeply involved with United Plant Savers, a group that aims to protect native medicinal plants. A growing market for medicinals has threatened certain wild species, like black cohosh and ginseng. Maier’s city garden is, she says, a sanctuary for some of these plants and, she hopes, a model for others. “People are talking about how to rewild the urban areas,” she says. “We have to have many different people planting the plants. The time is now.” She grows delicate natives—on this day, a colleague is transplanting wild yam along the side of the house—but that doesn’t mean shunning the plants that Europeans brought to North America and that usually get labeled as weeds. “Our major medicines are chickweed, dandelion, cleavers—all the plants on the Roundup label,” she says, adding that dandelion’s genus name, Taraxacum, means “remedy of all disorders.” “They were brought over as a primary food and medicine,” she

says. In the age of climate change, she advocates for an inclusive view of the plants we find ourselves living with now, rather than a strict division between native and invasive. At an earlier point in her career, she enthusiastically gathered medicinals from around the world, but she’s settled into a belief in bioregionalism—in her definition, “trying to have your food and medicine from the region where you live.” That’s why the book lists the characteristics and uses of just 25 plants. Choosing these, Maier says, was “one of the most agonizing parts of the book,” since she has knowledge of so many others. But working with a small number of plants, she says, is a mark of folk herbalists the world over. The book presents three different energetic systems—vitalism, ayurveda, and Chinese medicine—based on the idea of elements that make up the universe and the body. During her training, Herman says, this approach “gave us a well-rounded approach to the human body and how to look at herbs.” Along with the publication of Energetic Herbalism, Maier has closed her clinical practice in order to travel and teach, as well as redesigning her clinical training. Her former students are carrying on her work in various ways—a local ecosystem of seeds she sowed, now blossoming.

et in ninth- and 10th-century Europe, Robert Eggers’ brutal revenge saga The Northman is a lavish, sweeping film, but its unrelenting gore will undoubtedly repel many viewers. Loosely based on the Scandinavian legend that inspired Hamlet, with elements of Macbeth thrown in, The Northman’s antihero, young prince Amleth, vows revenge after seeing his father, King Aurvandil War-Raven (Ethan Hawke), slaughtered by his uncle, Fjolnir (Claes Bang), who then steals his kingdom and marries his mother, Gudrun (Nicole Kidman). After being raised into full warriorhood by Vikings, the adult Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård) tracks his uncle down and sets his vengeance in motion, aided by one of Fjolnir’s slaves, Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy). The Northman doesn’t sugarcoat its pagan characters’ bleak, filthy, violent lives. These are bona fide barbarians who thrive on casual slaughter and enslaving conquered peoples—their facility with mayhem means the difference between freedom, death, or

lowly servitude. Beheadings, disembowelment, and general bloodletting abound—a Viking raid on a Slavic village is particularly hideous, and makes for troubling viewing, especially in light of recent world events. For his tale of bestial savagery and revenge, Eggers drew heavily on John Milius’ Conan the Barbarian—lifting the opening narration, the overall plot structure, key scenes, ad infinitum—but The Northman lacks a critical ingredient that made Conan a more successful film in every sense: Milius’ wicked sense of humor. The Northman’s humorlessness is arguably its weakest point, while no doubt an artistic choice by Eggers, and the film takes itself too seriously. Eggers also draws on Roman Polanski’s bleak Macbeth in many ways, from its pivotal witches to the consciousness-raising medieval drug-induced hallucinations. The Northman’s score by Robin Carolan and Sebastian Gainsborough also seems to echo the Third Ear Band’s unforgettable soundtrack for Polanski. Although not on par with Eggers’ excellent The Witch, The Northman is a well-crafted production and a distinct improvement over

his meandering The Lighthouse. The film’s cast is fine overall, particularly Kidman, Willem Dafoe as Heimir the Fool, and Bjork in a small, memorable appearance as a witch. Production design and costumes are high-quality, the Nordic locations are striking, and Eggers keeps his camera mercifully steady, eschewing senselessly jerky camera-

work. CGI effects don’t overwhelm the movie, but the sadism and bloodshed levels are high enough to reach Valhalla. Bleak and grim, with glaring plot holes, The Northman is 20 minutes too long and doesn’t inspire multiple viewings. Films about truly barbaric characters are a gamble, because, as in this case, they focus on inarticulate thugs who are little better than the vermin they’re battling. Eggers succeeds at making a Viking epic, but a joyless, often repulsive one that’s easy to appreciate, but not so easily palatable.

You Are Invited

to meet Margaret Dashwood and author Wendy Zomparelli Join us for a reading and Q&A session of A Life of Her Own at Charlottesville’s New Dominion Bookshop on Friday, May 27 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The event is open to all, but come early for a good seat. “This book is flat-out marvelous. Somehow Zomparelli has managed to make her superb writing ‘period’ but never in the least antique. . . . The places, habitations, artifacts, clothes, mores, books, music, art, etc. are evoked with dizzying richness. The book had me laughing in spots, misting up in even more of them. The plot is complex, clever, and richly peopled with beautifully drawn characters. I reel a little at the thought of the planning, research, imagination, time, and talent that went into the making of such a book -- an achievement not just reminiscent of, but worthy of, Austen herself.” -- D. Brown

Upcoming events:

This semi-dry white wine has lime and apple aromas a light body and a clean, crisp finish. Albariño’s resistance to heat and humidity make it an excellent pairing for the Virginia climate. This wine is created in steel allowing the natural flavors to come forward and should be enjoyed within six months to a year of purchase. Pairing Suggestions: clams, oysters, steamed mussels, cream pasta dishes, grilled fish.

You can’t make good cider without good apples. Our process starts with locally grown cider apples from orchards and farms around the Shenandoah Valley. We know exactly where our fruit comes from and which varietals will yield the best flavors, aromas, and tannins in our Virginia climate.

By Rob Brezsny

Gemini (May 21–June 20): Poet Ranata Suzuki writes, “There comes a point where you no longer care if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You’re just sick of the tunnel.” That’s good advice for you right now, Gemini. The trick that’s most likely to get you out of the tunnel is to acknowledge that you are sick of the damn tunnel. Announce to the universe that you have gleaned the essential teachings the ride through the tunnel has provided you. You no longer need its character-building benefits because you have harvested them all. Please say this a thousand times sometime soon: “I am ready for the wide-open spaces.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks, your imagination will receive visions of the next chapter of your life story. These images and stories might confuse you if you think they are illuminating the present moment. So please keep in mind that they are prophecies of what’s ahead. They are premonitions and preparations for the interesting work you will be given during the second half of 2022. If you regard them as guiding clues from your eternal soul, they will nourish the inner transformations necessary for you to welcome your destiny when it arrives. Now study this inspirational quote from poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “The future glides into us, so as to remake itself within us, long before it occurs.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “Remember that you will never reach a higher standard than you yourself set,” wrote author Ellen G. White. That’s true! And that’s why it’s so crucial that you formulate the highest standards you can imagine—maybe even higher than you can imagine. Now is a favorable phase for you to reach higher and think bigger. I invite you to visualize the best version of the dream you are working on—the most excellent, beautiful, and inspiring form it could take. And then push on further to envision even more spectacular results. Dare to be greedy and outrageous.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before Virgo-born Leslie Jones achieved fame as a comedian and actor, she worked day jobs at United Parcel

Taurus (April 20-May 20): “Every successful person I know starts before they feel ready,” declared life coach Marie Forleo. Author Ivan Turgenev wrote, “If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything, is ready, we shall never begin.” Here’s what educator Supriya Mehra says: “There’s never a perfect moment to start, and the more we see the beauty in ‘starting small,’ the more we empower ourselves to get started at all.” I hope that in providing you with these observations, Taurus, I have convinced you to dive in now. Here’s one more quote, from businesswoman Betsy Rowbottom: “There’s never a perfect moment to take a big risk.” Service and Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles. Her shot at major appreciation didn’t arrive until the TV show “Saturday Night Live” hired her to be a regular cast member in 2014, when she was 47 years old. Here’s how she describes the years before that: “Everybody was telling me to get a real job. Everybody was asking me, What are you doing? You’re ruining your life. You’re embarrassing your family.” Luckily, Jones didn’t heed the bad advice. “You can’t listen to that,” she says now. “You have to listen to yourself.” Now I’m suggesting that you embrace the Leslie Jones approach, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A person must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.” Author Jean Genet wrote that, and now I’m offering you his words as the seed of your horoscope. If you’ve been attuned to cosmic rhythms, you have been doing what Genet described and will continue to do it for at least another 10 days. If you have not yet begun such work, please do so now. Your success during the rest of 2022 will thrive to the degree that you spend time dreaming big in the darkness now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Cursed are those who feel floods but who can only express a few drops.” So says an internet proverb. Luckily, this principle won’t apply to you in the coming weeks. I expect you will be inundated with cascades of deep feelings, but you will also be able to articulate those feelings. So you won’t be cursed at all. In fact, I suspect you will be blessed. The cascades may indeed become rowdy at times. But I expect you will flourish amidst the lush tumult.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It takes a great deal of experience to become natural,” wrote Sagittarian author Willa Cather. I’m happy to report that in recent months, you Sagittarians have been becoming more and more natural. You have sought experiences that enhance your authenticity and spontaneity. Keep up the good work! The coming weeks should bring influences and adventures that will dramatically deepen your capacity to be untamed, soulful, and intensely yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19): “I intend to live forever,” proclaims 66-year-old comedian Steven Wright, who then adds, “So far, so good.” I offer you his cheerful outlook in the hope that it might inspire you to dream and scheme about your own longevity. Now is a great time to fantasize about what you would love to accomplish if you are provided with 90 or more years of life to create yourself. In other words, I’m asking you to expand your imagination about your longterm goals. Have fun envisioning skills you’d like to develop and qualities you hope to ripen if you are given all the time you would like to have. (PS: Thinking like this could magically enhance your life expectancy.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Stop insisting on clearing your head,” advised author Charles Bukowski. “Clear your f---ing heart instead.” That will be a superb meditation for you to experiment with in the coming weeks. Please understand that I hope you will also clear your head. That’s a worthy goal. But your prime aim should be to clear your heart. What would that mean? Purge all apologies

and shame from your longings. Cleanse your tenderness of energy that’s inclined to withhold or resist. Free your receptivity to be innocent and curious.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “The winner will be the one who knows how to pick the right fights,” wrote author Jane Ciabattari. Heed her advice, please, Pisces. You will soon be offered chances to deal with several interesting struggles that are worthy of your beautiful intelligence. At least one will technically be a “conflict,” but even that will also be a fruitful opportunity. If you hope to derive the greatest potential benefit, you must be selective about which ones you choose to engage. I recommend you give your focus to no more than two.

Aries (March 21-April 19): “Choose the least important day in your life,” wrote Aries author Thornton Wilder. “It will be important enough.” I recommend that you make those your words to live by in the next two weeks. Why? Because I suspect there will be no tremendously exciting experiences coming your way. The daily rhythm is likely to be routine and modest. You may even be tempted to feel a bit bored. And yet, if you dare to move your attention just below the surface of life, you will tune into subtle glories that are percolating. You will become aware of quietly wondrous developments unfolding just out of sight and behind the scenes. Be alert for them. They will provide fertile clues about the sweet victories that will be available in the months ahead.

Q&A Given the poor conditions at Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, how should it be redesigned? Let marijuana offenders go. Y’all support these dorks downtown opening shops and coming in from California & Portland to brand themselves as ‘Charlottesville’s hemp company’ when we’re paying taxes to keep people in bondage over the same plant y’all wanna use to bring people to the Downtown Mall. @ERICMOULTON4/INSTAGRAM

I don’t care what people have done, they need to poop in private. That is not okay. @ANGELADAVIS2977/INSTAGRAM

To be free of nonviolent offenders.

If we met people’s basic needs and treated issues like the health, mental health, poverty, or trauma that are at the root, we would need no or minimal imprisonment architecture. That’s the redesign I’d like to see. But in terms of what you’re probably thinking of, Finland and Norway have some pointers.

Ummmmmm yes. We are a civilized society. Putting people in crisis in hell breeds worse problems.

homas Jefferson founded it in 1819, called it “the Hobby of my old age,” and designed its celebrated Academical Village. It was, he said, one of his three proudest achievements—if only he could see it now. “[W]e wish to establish in the upper & healthier country,” he’d written in the dreaming stage, “& more centrally for the state an University on a plan so broad & liberal & modern, as to be worth patronising with the public support, and be a temptation to the youth of other states to come, and drink of the cup of knolege & fraternize with us.” Come they have, and a lot they learn: 18,066 undergrad and 9,049 graduate students matriculate this academic year at UVA, which U.S. News & World Report ranks year after year as one of the country’s top five public institutions of higher learning. It is also a public research university that offers 49 Bachelor’s, 94 Masters, and 55 Doctoral degrees, along with specialist degrees in education, medicine and law. All that higher learning and professional training mean that in a town of less than 47,000 people there are now about 27,115 young, bright, and dynamic go-getters matriculating on college “grounds” and enriching our community.

They enter as smart kids and come out as even smarter adults And in the meantime they fall in love with Charlottesville and its lovely setting, and a whole lot of them decide to stick around.

Lucky us. Skilled and educated, creative and entrepreneurial, these UVA grads could make it anywhere, yet they choose to make it here; others come back later for active, productive retirements.

In good times, they’re good company. In bad times, they can be lifesavers, like the doctors and nurses at UVA Hospital who served us tirelessly when the pandemic hit. “The University was an indispensable partner in Project Rebound, a collaborative project to generate support and solutions for local businesses in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Elizabeth Cromwell. “UVA economic development staff worked closely with the Chamber, City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Professional facilitators from UVA won an international award for their innovative volunteer leadership in a series of virtual meetings for the Central Virginia business community.” That’s just a little of what universitytrained hearts and brains did for us in a crisis. Numbers-wise, UVA impacts us with an operating budget in 2021-2022 of $3.994 million. An independent economic impact study conducted in 2016 totaled up its spending on goods and services, the spending of its employees, students and visitors, and that of businesses which, in turn, benefit from UVA’s own spending. The result: a whopping $5.9 billion annually in economic activity for the

Commonwealth of Virginia. Here in Charlottesville, the university, its health care system, and its other associated organizations provide a living for nearly 20,000 people, making it the region’s largest employer. Another way UVA contributes to our local coffers is by pulling in tourist dollars from sporting, cultural and entertainment events at venues like the John Paul Jones Arena and the Culbreth Theatre. Overall, tourists coming for University events created $352.9 million in economic impact in 2015, while supporting 3,918 jobs and generating $23 million in state and government revenue. In 2019 the five-day Virginia Film Festival, a program of the University of Virginia and the Office of the Provost and Vice Provost for the Arts, screened more than 150 films, brought in over 100 filmmakers to discuss their work along with such stars as actor Ethan Hawke and author John Grisham, and drew film buffs from near and far.

But dollars and cents alone don’t describe our town and gown symbiosis. “The university is not only Charlottesville’s economic engine,” notes Rives Bailey, a REALTOR® with Montague, Miller & Company in Charlottesville, “but its presence has everything to do with what Charlottesville is at this time: its culture, its food, arts and entertainment scene, and its mix of people—not only the students in school now, but graduates who have moved away and come back and now call Charlottesville home.” It’s the people that are this town’s greatest asset. “If there is something I love about Charlottesville most, I would say it’s the really interesting and eclectic

Amanda, he says, “all of these experiences reinforced our appreciation of the small college town where we could enjoy the intellectual and cultural benefits of the academic environment and the livability of a smaller town.” Smith left academia for the private sector and spent twenty years in Northern Virginia, “among the growing congestion and expansion in that area. While NOVA has some exciting opportunities, we missed the small town feel that we had experienced in the college towns where we had lived. At a time when our children would not be unnecessarily disrupted, we moved to Charlottesville, where I continued to work remotely until I accepted a faculty position at UVA.” Ask Smith what he and Amanda enjoy most about our own college town, and he’ll give you a list: university sporting events like lacrosse, basketball, football; concerts and public lectures, talks, and discussions by prominent speakers; local eateries, both carryout and sit-down. Best of all, though, is “the opportunity to interact with individuals who are also drawn to academic centers!”

Eager Homebuyers As a REALTOR®, Bailey works with many medical residents and other professionals who come for jobs at UVA. “But we also work with lots of people who maybe were at the university at one time,” he says, “whether its undergraduate or graduate program, medical school, law school, or Darden. Many of them have such a strong affection for Charlottesville that they come back and buy a second home and over time make it their primary home.” “So that’s a significant part of our real estate market, those people who are coming back to the community after having gone to school here at one time. It’s always interesting to work with them, because they may have lived here three, four, five, six years, or whatever, but they were focused on what they were doing at the university at the time and not that engaged with the community. So when they come back and see what all the rest of the community has to offer, they’re often pretty surprised and taken aback.” You can see UVA’s presence when you walk down the street around here, and you can feel it when you’re thinking about how to spend the weekend, or where to go to dinner. “It’s tough to pinpoint an aspect of our region that isn’t influenced in some way by the University,” says Nest Realty REALTOR® and UVA graduate Jonathan Kauffmann. “Whether someone has an affiliation with UVA or not before they move here, the University undoubtedly has a positive impact on every single member of our community in some way or another.”

While UVA students serve the city in many different volunteer capacities, maintaining a relationship with the surrounding community is also important to the university as an institution. Strengthening it further is one of UVA president Jim Ryan’s top priorities. “As an anchor institution, we feel a responsibility to be a good neighbor. Economic growth over many decades has had a profound effect on housing in the Charlottesville-Albemarle community, and we are committed to working with community partners to create more housing intended for local workforce and community members who have been priced out of the local housing market.” To that end, in March 2020 Ryan announced an initiative to develop 1,000 to 1,500 affordable housing units in the city

and in Albemarle County over the next decade, on land the University and the UVA Foundation own. Three sites for these new homes were announced last December: the current location of UVA’s Piedmont Housing off Fontaine Avenue; the corner of Wertland and 10th streets; and portions of the UVA Discovery Park called North Fork on US 29 North. To further address community needs, Ryan and the President’s Council on UVA-Community Partnerships have formed working groups focused on affordable housing, the local economy, early childhood education and the employment pipeline.

lives of both community members and students. Over the last 50 years, more than 35,000 UVA students have donated their time through Madison House programs, providing critical support to area hospitals, helping to close the opportunity gap in local schools, securing food and housing for the needy, helping migrant workers succeed, and developing nurturing relationships with area youth and senior citizens. Hoos Helping provides volunteer services to educators and families in the Charlottesville community. The listening hotline 4 HELP Line has offered understanding and encouragement throughout the course of the pandemic, fielding hundreds of calls and training 80 new volunteers. Medical Services Program developed a virtual “rounding” service, to assist with administrative duties for healthcare providers at UVA Health. The CASH Program partnered with the United Way to prepare tax returns for over 500 households, returning more than $1 million to the community. Youth Mentoring supported the PB&J Fund in delivering nearly 10,000 bags of groceries to families in need during the first year of the pandemic.
