IN BRIEF No new names The Greene County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution opposing “any proposed name changes” to the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library last week, after Louisa County passed a similar resolution earlier this month. Last month, the Reclaimed Roots Descendants Alliance called on JMRL to change its name to one that does not honor enslavors. The library board of trustees will discuss a potential name change at its June 27 meeting.

Former Charlottesville police chief Rashall Brackney arrives at federal court on June 15.

Brackney comes out swinging

Mike Signer takes heat for offering violence-prevention advice.

VDH deviates from CDC

“The City of Charlottesville and CPD was and still is so invested in its racial paternalism, misogyny, and nepotism, they would rather conspire to oust me than dismantle or confront corrupt, violent individuals in CPD and city government,” Brackney said in a press conference announcing the suit on Wednesday, June 15, in front of federal court in downtown Charlottesville.

According to the suit, as part of her “mandate” to reform the police department after her hiring in 2018, Brackney discovered “unlawful, criminal, racist behaviors as well as police violence, corruption, departmentally inappropriate, misogynistic, and/or discriminatory behaviors and harassment and threats within Defendants police department.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Budget Amendment yays and nays Virginia has a new two-year state budget after the legislature reconvened last week and passed several of Governor Glenn Youngkin’s proposed amendments. Three Democrats defected and voted in favor of an amendment that restricts the number of people eligible for early release under the expanded earned sentence credits. That vote will block the early release of hundreds of individuals convicted of violent offenses. An

amendment to expand the number of university-operated laboratory schools also passed with a tie-breaking vote cast by Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. Two Democrats voted in favor of an amendment to divert $10 million in financial aid from undocumented students to Virginia HBCUs. Amendments to create a gas tax holiday and restrict protests outside of courthouses and judges’ homes were shot down.

The Virginia Department of Health now considers contracting COVID within the last six months a “recent infection”—deviating from the Centers for Disease Control, which defines a recent infection as one that occurred within the last three months. A person with a recent infection—or a vaccinated person—is not required to quarantine after being exposed to the virus. However, high-risk environments like hospitals are still advised to follow CDC guidelines.

employee had been at the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 insurrection and faced no consequence, former Charlottesville police chief RaShall Brackney has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the City of Charlottesville and 10 individuals alleging she was wrongfully terminated from her position in late 2021 on the basis of her race and gender.

A WEEK AFTER TWEETING THAT A CITY

June 22 – 28, 2022 c-ville.com

After 31 armed white supremacists were arrested in Idaho earlier this month, former Charlottesville mayor Mike Signer offered advice for preventing violence to WTOP last week. “You have to really creatively monitor the dark web, not just social media, like anybody can see, but the accounts that these people might have in the nooks and crannies of the internet,” Signer said. In a blog post, activist Emily Gorcenski claimed that in July 2017 she gave Signer and then-city manager Maurice Jones a dossier (available on her website) detailing violent threats made online by people affiliated with Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler. “Mike Signer was uniquely unqualified to lead Charlottesville, and he is astonishingly unqualified to proffer any opinion on how to combat neo-Nazi threats,” wrote Gorcenski.

a different picture.” Snook has identified the employee: IT analyst Allen Groat, who works with the police department, sheriff ’s office, fire department, and rescue squad. “I have since seen a memo that Jim Mooney had sent to City leadership [to] John Blair, then Acting City Manager, and Chief Brackney. None of the three of them is still with the City, so we were trying to piece together the story from dim memories of those not directly involved,” Snook said in a statement sent to C-VILLE on Friday. “The last information that I had been emailed from City staff had taken out the reference to the person having had a video that showed him being admitted.” Snook’s change of tune comes after activist Molly Conger exposed Groat’s Twitter account, @r3bel1776, with pro-insurrection messages last Wednesday. (Groat confirmed to C-VILLE that the account belongs to him.) In November 2020, Groat called on those who “love America” to “defend the republic by any means necessary.” He also shared photos of himself with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and the Proud Boys at a Trump rally. The following month, he claimed “soon blood will be shed to prevent the theft of our republic,” and tweeted a photo of a Black Lives Matter mural in New York City—with the caption “Fuck BLM!!! Time to uninstall!!” And in a tweet made just days before the insurrection, Groat again shared his intentions to “force Congress [to] #DoNotCertify the fraudulent election results” at the “#WildProtest” in D.C. In body-worn police camera footage obtained by Conger, Groat can be seen inside the Capitol recording on his phone. When police asked the rioters to leave, Groat did not. “We love you guys…it’s their fault not ours,” he told the police, motioning to Congress. Groat has previous criminal charges—in 2020, he pleaded guilty to aggressive driving with intent to injure, after chasing a woman and pulling a gun on her at a red light. It remains unclear if Groat still works for the city. Brackney also pushed back against Snook’s initial response, claiming the FBI interviewed Mooney and planned to arrest Groat last year. “Boyles & IT director were informed the employee was dangerous & to revoke his IT access/privileges. Instead @cvillepolice & @CvilleCityHall revoked my access/privileges,” she tweeted last Thursday.—Brielle Entzminger and Courteney Stuart

After taking steps to address those issues including firing several officers and dismantling the SWAT team, the suit claims that two defendants met to formulate a survey of police officers in the department. The suit alleges the survey was intended to elicit negative responses about Brackney and that additional defendants subsequently conspired to use the survey results as the basis for her termination. The suit alleges that no similar survey was conducted on white male city employees. In addition to naming the city as a defendant, the 73-page lawsuit names former interim city manager Chip Boyles, current and former City Council members Lloyd Snook, Sena Magill, and Heather Hill; Mike Wells, president of the Police Benevolent Association; Bellamy Brown, former chair of the Police Civilian Review Board; former assistant police chief Jim Mooney; current acting Police Chief Tito Durette; City Attorney Lisa Roberts; and former Charlottesville communications director Brian Wheeler. Defendants in the case declined to comment, but C-VILLE Weekly legal analyst Scott Goodman says despite Brackney’s claim that she has recordings and other documentation to prove her allegations, convincing a jury her firing was connected to her race and gender may be a challenge. “She’s just going to have to prove it in court,” Goodman says. “In my opinion, what she’s hoping to do is to scare the city, to shake the city into paying her a lot of money so that she won’t go forward with these threats to air all this dirty linen.” The lawsuit came a week after Brackney accused the city government of taking no action against an employee who participated in the January 6 insurrection. Mayor Lloyd Snook claimed last week that the employee—who he said he could not name publicly—was “admitted” to the Capitol while doing “freelance photography,” and left when they were asked to leave. Snook said former assistant police chief Jim Mooney concluded in a report that “no crime that CPD had authority to investigate had been committed,” and that Brackney soon turned the case over to the FBI in Richmond. “As long as they were allowed in by the Capitol police and they left when told, they would not seem to have committed a crime and it would seem that the FBI agreed,” Snook told C-VILLE last Wednesday. However, the mayor has now seen videos—which he claims the city government did not have before—that “seem to show

ast month, the day after Politico published a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion revealing the likelihood that Roe v. Wade will be overturned, the ACLU of Virginia issued a statement that said abortion rights were in “deep peril,” and the commonwealth was “literally just one vote away from banning abortion.” Last week, that warning nearly became reality. Governor Glenn Youngkin—who, while on the campaign trail, vowed to “start going on offense” on abortion—added an amendment to the state budget that would prohibit state Medicaid funds from being used for abortion in cases of incapacitating physical or mental fetal deformities. It was defeated in the Senate, but the close vote laid bare the fragility of abortion rights in Virginia. For people capable of getting pregnant— especially individuals in states with pro-life legislators—the leaked opinion and the resulting cascade of new state laws across the country restricting abortion access have caused panic and turmoil. In a Reuters article, Christie Pitney, a CEO of a telehealth company in Washington D.C., reported that the number of people requesting prescriptions for or information about abortion pills has tripled since the draft opinion was leaked. Receiving these abortion pills by mail is becoming a popular workaround for people in states with restrictions on abortion. While abortion remains legal in Virginia for now, Amy Hagstrom Miller, president and CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, an abortion clinic and virtual abortion provider, argues that it is more important than ever for Virginia to provide access to safe abortions as Roe v. Wade remains in limbo. “Abortion is integral to the health of our communities, and this amendment will

erode the access that Virginians of all socioeconomic levels count on,” Hagstrom said in a statement sent to C-VILLE before the amendment’s defeat. “Restrictions like these do nothing to prevent unplanned pregnancies; they just prevent people from getting the safe, quality care they need and deserve,” she wrote. Tannis Fuller, executive director of the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund, also emphasized the importance of abortion access for all socioeconomic groups in Virginia. “The Blue Ridge Abortion Fund believes that everyone, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, age, gender identity, or where they live, should have the agency and the resources to make their own decisions about their bodies,” says Fuller, who condemned Youngkin’s amendment as “unnecessarily cruel, and bad government.” “Virginia’s refusal to allow Medicaid to cover abortion in every case is unreasonable and harmful to all Virginians,” she says. While Youngkin’s amendment easily passed in the Republican-controlled House, it was narrowly struck down in the Senate, which voted 20-19 to table the proposal. Despite the defeat of the amendment, abortion rights in Virginia remain on shaky ground. If even a single seat is lost in the Senate this November, Republicans will have enough votes to pass restrictions on abortions. Moreover, even if Democrats can protect every single seat, Democratic Senator Joe Morrissey remains a wild card who has co-sponsored legislation that bans most abortions after 20 weeks. In the meantime, abortion rights advocacy groups in Virginia remain committed to protecting abortion rights for all Americans. On Thursday, June 23, the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund and the Charlottesville Democratic Committee will be hosting a webinar on how the Charlottesville community can help people in neighboring states should Roe v. Wade be overturned.

Honoring the ancestors Descendants celebrate Juneteenth at Monticello By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis were among the speakers at last week’s Junteenth celebration at Monticello.

power, and enabling them to lead research and preservation efforts at historical sites, backed by ample financial support. “The descendant community is based on descendants of people who were enslaved that can be traced, but it’s also about social descendants. People who are still in the area…[and] people who feel a spiritual connection to the place,” added genealogist Hannah Scruggs, who previously worked on the Descendants’ Project at Montpelier. “The next part of the movement around descendants is to make the tent bigger… Family lines existed across plantation sites.” After reading an original poem honoring her ancestors, former Freedom Rider and Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee member Peggy Trotter Dammond Preacely—a descendant of Sally Hemings’ sister, Mary Hemings Bell—discussed the strong link between arts and activism. During the civil rights movement, protesters often changed the lyrics of Black spirituals to activist chants, giving them more strength and courage, she explained. Despite her accomplishments, DuVernay stressed that she is no different from the Black filmmakers who came before her who told hard truths.

“If you assert your perspective with authority, then that’s your truth… The descendant community is asserting their perspective with authority, that’s the key.” AVA DUVERNAY

“The idea of storytelling and truth and excavating that and figuring it out, how to do that work and how to see it and not to criticize someone else for the way they see the story— this is the work that we have to continue to do that can disrupt our notions of narrative,” said DuVernay, who directed films like Selma and 13th. “If you assert your perspective with authority, then that’s your truth… The descendant community is asserting their perspective with authority, that’s the key.” On Friday, descendants also attended a private rededication of the Burial Ground for Enslaved People, which holds over 40 graves. The descendant-led restoration effort was completed this year, including more accessible pathways, new plants, ad-

arly Saturday morning, several hundred people gathered at Monticello to celebrate Juneteenth, including descendants of the over 400 Black people who were enslaved at the plantation during Thomas Jefferson’s lifetime. The free community event featured insightful and invigorating panel speakers—including renowned filmmaker Ava DuVernay, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed, jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, and over a dozen others—as well as poetry, musical performances, and artwork, highlighting the importance of descendant stories and voices. “We know when it comes to American identity, when we’re thinking of African American stories, that they are essential,” said panelist Melody Barnes, executive director of the Karsh Institute of Democracy and chair of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. “The stories of descendants [tell] us who we are, what we have done, and they answer questions like ‘Who is an American citizen?’” Multiple speakers reflected on the months-long controversy surrounding Montpelier and its actions taken against descendant leadership. In March, the Montpelier Foundation board reversed its previous decision to give the Montpelier Descendants Committee the right to recommend at least half the board members, but—after facing significant public backlash—the board voted in 11 new members recommended by the committee in May. “[The board] lied, they cheated, and presumed that they could get away with the performative tokenizing,” said Michael Blakey, founding director of the Institute for Historical Biology and a professor at William & Mary. “[The MDC] continued to say no to that, and say yes to equality. This is a problem everywhere.” Speakers also stressed the importance of appointing descendants to positions of

ditional seating, new signs, and dedicated parking for descendants. During the rededication ceremony, descendant Kayelynn Craft Day-Lyons— Preacely’s granddaughter—felt drawn to the area by her ancestors, inspiring her to want to restore more of her ancestors’ graves. “I just felt so grateful [and] blessed to have been able to even experience this,” she said. Justin Reid, Virginia Humanities senior program officer, urged attendants to pass down their family history to the younger generation, while Niya Bates, former Monticello Getting Word project director, encouraged young people to share their family stories in innovative ways, like TikTok videos. Following the four-hour event, Preacely reflected on her ancestors who may have been activists too. “Did they try to recruit rebellion? Was that never talked about? Will we uncover that there was resistance that we never heard of?” she asked. Preacely hoped Juneteenth would continue to be an entry point for all people to honor Black history—and a “time of reconciliation, reempowerment, and education.” For descendant Gayle Jessup White, celebrating Juneteenth at Monticello was “a proud day of reflection and honor,” especially as the first descendant of Jefferson and the people he enslaved to work for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. “[We] raise our ancestors to the stature that they deserve, [and] recognize the work that they did—the sacrifice that they did, the effort that they put into getting free, holding it together while laboring with no reward, and laying down the foundation for us, their descendants, to rise and succeed,” she said. “My descendants left here in bondage as slaves, and when I come here, I know that their sweat, tears, and spirits didn’t make it out of here,” added descendant Gregory Jefferson. “But I know that they didn’t do that in vain. Because [of] their work and sacrifice, I am living and breathing…I give honors and praise to them.”

Fierce

Jessica Coleman takes the bodybuilding world by storm

COURTESY SUBJECT

Jessica Coleman was the overall winner at the 2022 NPC Junior USA Championships in Charleston, South Carolina.

“Last year I did three competitions, and I started winning,” she says. Bodybuilding is not for the weak-willed. Coleman says her training often involves hitting the gym three times a day. “Before this past show, I was doing two hours of cardio and training for an hour and a half, and the only way I could fit that into my day was to go three times,” says Coleman, a single mother who works full time as clinical operations manager. “Now, my two teenage daughters are in travel ball, so I was also traveling on the weekends and having to take my show on the road with all my prepped meals and using the gym while I was out of town.” In addition to having a competitive streak, Coleman says having a coach is critical for anyone serious about competing in bodybuilding.

“Basically each week he analyzes my physique and tells me, here’s what you need to eat, here’s how much cardio and here’s how much water,” she says. Her Richmond-based coach, Sebastian Alvarez, says prepping to compete requires a wide range of caloric intake. “She goes from 5,500 in off-season to 1,000 close to competing,” he says. The “cutting” phase isn’t the only challenge. Coleman drinks a gallon and a half of water every day, and Alvarez says consuming enough to build massive muscle means Coleman has to “sit down and force feed like it’s a job. It’s incredible.” He says Coleman’s work ethic sets her apart. “When I first met her, she looked good but it wasn’t ‘whoa,’” Alvarez says. “In reality, I didn’t know her personality. When I started working with her and saw how meticulous

she is with her training and her diet, I knew this girl was going to make it far.” Alvarez isn’t the only one impressed with Coleman’s progress. Her 17-year-old daughter Zoe Utz, a rising senior at Monticello High School, says she’s been inspired by her mother’s hard work and achievements. “I think it’s incredible,” says Utz, who now regularly works out with her mom and says the shared interest has brought them closer. “I’ve seen where she started, and to work as hard as she has, the discipline, the dedication to get there…when I see her happy and reaching her goals, it makes me proud to see that happen.” With her first national victory under her belt, Coleman is taking several months to recover before preparing to compete again, this time against some of the top bodybuilders in the world. Alvarez says he has specific goals for her: “Improve her back, the width in her lats, bring up her hamstrings more,” he says. She’s training two fewer days per week during this period, which Alvarez says will last about three months. She’ll be back on stage competing toward the end of 2023. “Win one pro show and she’s in the Olympia,” Alvarez says. “I have no doubt she will do it.” Coleman says winning a competition feels amazing, but it isn’t the greatest reward. “I’ve experienced a lot of setbacks in my life,” she says. “And, you know, I think that what has me feeling the proudest is my ability to bounce back from all of that and turn some failures into a big success for me. Once you fall on your face a couple of times, you get back up stronger. It’s great to be at this point in my life and just feel so much freedom and strength.”

ost athletes are hitting the end of the road by age 40. Martina Navratilova hung up her racket at age 38. Soccer star Abby Wambach scored her last goal at 35. When Jessica Coleman turned 40, she was just getting started in her sport. Four years later, she won her first national bodybuilding competition, and not in a masters class for people over 40. She beat competitors of all ages. “What ended up happening is my coach decided we were going to do the Junior USA [bodybuilding competition], which does not have a masters division,” Coleman says of the mid-May competition in Charleston, South Carolina, where she earned her professional card in the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness. Although her first overall victory didn’t happen until she was 44, the road there began about 25 years earlier. “When I was younger, in college, I had started training for fitness competitions, and I had this dream of kind of taking that somewhere professionally at that point,” Coleman recalls. But it wasn’t her time yet. “I blew out my knee playing volleyball and life happened and later, you know, kids and family,” she says. Over the next two decades, Coleman says she got into shape—and out of shape— many times. Then something shifted. “I was really excited about making [my] 40s the best years of my life,” she says. “And I asked myself, what have I always wanted to do that I’ve never done? And you know, the first thing that popped into my head was that you always wanted to compete in a fitness competition.” This time, she was serious. As she approached 40, she lost 30 pounds, and she wasn’t done. “I hired a coach and I started my prep at that point,” she says. Her first goal was to compete in the figure category, which requires less musculature. “I think I placed eighth,” she says of that first show. “At 41 I did my second show, and I came in third in the masters [division].” Then COVID hit, and gyms closed down. Coleman wasn’t deterred. “I kept doing my workouts from home to kind of keep everything going,” she says. “And I couldn’t wait to get back on stage.” When the pandemic restrictions lifted and she returned to competition, her hard work started paying off.

The road wasn’t easy for Jeremy Joyce, but it was formative. The musician grew up on indie rock and alt-country in his hometown of Philadelphia, before the death of his brother drove him to New York and jazz. He found psychedelic folk and rockabilly after a stint in St. Louis, until he was once again uprooted by the passing of his mother. Joyce landed in New Orleans with genre-defying “dance-inducing funk and R&B,” inspired by his many musical chapters. His most recent album, Street Poet, is a timeless, funk-leaning record driven by Joyce’s cool vocals and slick guitar. Free, 8pm.

The eight-track, 30-minute Single Cell packs a powerful punch in a swell of horns and drums that complement Seligman-McComas’ vocals. It’s a mesmerizing whirlpool of jazz and soul, with a dash of disco-pop that’s especially notable on “To Begin,” the closing track. Recorded at Montrose Recording in Richmond and produced by Grammy-nominated producer DJ Harrison (who also plays keys in RVA-based Butcher Brown), Single Cell weaves a tale of self-discovery and empowerment as told on “Metamorphosis” and the album’s title track. With Seligman-McComas now based on the West Coast, fingers are crossed that Charlottesville gets a homecoming so

we can hear these tracks played live (released May 2022).

Stray Fossa Closer Than We’ll Ever Know, Born Losers Records Stray Fossa’s new album is like going thrifting and finding a longlost cassette from the ’80s. Is it simply undiscovered, or, better yet, a well-loved and worn relic of the past? Either way, we are lucky to find this talented band in Virginia.

Closer Than We’ll Ever Know is Stray Fossa’s second album— and it’s just as impressive as last year’s debut, With You Forever. Each track blends seamlessly into the next, guiding the record as a soundscape of modern time travel. With brothers Nick and Will Evans and best friend Zach Blount on different continents, Closer was created by collaborating online. “So Still,” the standout gift of a track about an impending breakup, is wrapped in dream pop indie happiness.

CULTURE THE WORKS

Sense memory Krista Townsend’s ‘Second Nature’ bursts with visual excitement By Sarah Sargent

When standing in a room of Townsend’s work at Charlottesville’s new Phaeton Gallery, there’s certainly an abundance of color and texture, but there’s also a potent immediacy. You feel it in the physical way Townsend paints, revealed by the remarkably animated gestural marks, but it’s also there in the way nature is presented. Townsend has a deep relationship

arate horizontal zones. Dashes and blobs of paint form the grass and delicate flowers along the bottom. Just above, things get really interesting with a riotous interplay of stalky vegetation and maroon flowers. Above this, a flat expanse of olivey ochre reads like a field of tawny grass. Beyond it, scrawls of greens, browns, and tans describe a tree line set before narrower bands of green, blue, turquoise, and gray that represent another field, distant mountains and sky. “New Growth” (oil on canvas) depicts an area in Glacier National Park following a controlled burn. The scene could be bleak, but Townsend’s use of color and gesture imbues it with vitality. The bright green at the bottom, signifying the new growth, adds just the right counterpoint to the more subdued palette of the burned area. Townsend finds beauty and drama there with slashes of orange foliage and skeletal charred trees silhouetted against the background. With “Field of Flowers and Trees” (oil on canvas), Townsend has relinquished all but the scantest narrative elements. There’s much to admire in this glorious work: the color, the texture, the extraordinarily inventive brushwork that captures the exuberance of painting. There’s something captivating about the repeated vertical lines running along the lower part of the painting, representing the stems of flowers, but also providing a pleasing staccato rhythm. Townsend maintains the visual excitement with the fierce tangle of slashes and streaks that constitute the greenery at the top. Townsend’s paintings are the work of a supremely confident artist who is at the top of her game. In nature, she has found an endlessly inspiring muse that challenges her every day to use talent and intuition to interpret and convey the essence of what is there.

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

ith three shows scheduled for 2022, Krista Townsend found herself in an enviable position as an artist. But she had a problem: She needed work to exhibit. “I realized I had to speed up my process,” says Townsend, who’d primarily worked with oil paint. “I decided to explore using acrylic paint to block in the composition and then work on top of that with oil.” Working with acrylics entailed a bit of a learning curve as Townsend adjusted to the new medium. Along the way, she discovered that the shorter drying time gave her an advantage. “It was really satisfying to make those marks and then be able to come back quite soon afterwards and work on top of them,” she says. “I soon realized I was sticking with the acrylics longer before putting the oils on top and I just kind of fell in love with them.” Initially worried that the colors wouldn’t be the same as oil, she ended up being pleasantly surprised. “I love the vibrancy of acrylic colors,” she says. “Especially pinks and reds. I’ve always struggled with getting the reds to sing the way I see them in nature. I also love that I can thin the paint with water and create drips and translucent areas without using toxic oil paint thinners.” Townsend even branched into fluorescent colors, not available in oil. “I bought a few and started to play around with them using them as the underpainting. So, then they were on my palette and I started mixing them with other colors. Some of those purples I can come up with are so vibrant and so much fun. I’ve moved away from using fluorescent colors on their own, but I mix them with other colors to punch up the vibration and make the colors come alive.”

with nature, taking daily walks in the woods and meadows surrounding Charlottesville. On these walks, she absorbs the sights, smells, and feelings of being outdoors in wild places. She takes photographs as reminders of where she’s been and what she’s seen, but mostly she paints her sensory responses to what she’s experienced. There are so many splendid details in “Ferns and Moss,” an the acrylic on canvas— the wonderfully expressive zigzagging lines of the fern fronds, the mix of moss and plants drooping over windfall and rocks, and the twiggy nest-like accumulation in the lower right. The eye is drawn to bright globs of orange and red paint—a mixture of florescent magenta with cadmium yellow and cadmium red light—of the rotting trunk and branch near the center of the composition. Townsend uses black to great effect here to both describe the dark shadows beneath the plants and to set them off. She

irector Juan Jose Campanella’s “Night Sky” grounds its fantastic premise heavily in the everyday. This is a venerable dramatic tradition, and an intelligent approach, especially when science fiction has become synonymous with space operas and action. Unfortunately, when the miraculous and the mundane collide in “Night Sky,” the mundane wins. The series opens in rural Illinois, where elderly couple Franklin and Irene York (J.K. Simmons and Sissy Spacek) keep a secret chamber hidden on their property that spirits them light years away to an observation room on a barren planet. The two have been making the trip for so long that they are as blasé about it as taking a weekend hike. Meanwhile, in Argentina, single mom Stella (Julieta Zylberberg) guards a similar portal with almost religious devotion, keeping it hidden from her teenage daughter Toni (Rocio Hernandez). When a mysterious young man (Chai Hansen) appears via the alien world, and upsets the couple’s equilibrium, these central narratives begin to intertwine with various subplots involving the Yorks’ granddaughter

A dramatic slow burn can be pure magic when done right, but “Night Sky” doesn’t pull it off. Denise (Kiah McKirnan) and their nosy neighbor Byron (Adam Bartley). Spacek and Simmons are the show’s backbone, and do well with the scripts they’re given. Much of the story is told through the shifting emotions on their faces, and Spacek is vulnerable and a joy to watch work. Simmons is good throughout, but occasionally lays the folksiness on too thick. He shines in Franklin’s sternest moments. A dramatic slow burn can be pure magic when done right, but “Night Sky” doesn’t pull it off. It’s an overly protracted version of a story that should have been told in under two hours. The writers noodle around with the potentially fascinating concept to the point that it loses most of its dramatic tension, like stretching a good “Twilight Zone’’ episode until it breaks. “Night Sky” can’t be faulted for its depiction of small-town Americana, but it pushes the story’s everydayness in its first four episodes

so hard that it subsumes anything engaging about the plot. The idea of using a science fiction series as a springboard for dealing with very real problems like senility, physical infirmity, and children predeceasing their parents is worthwhile. Unfortunately, the series overplayed its hand, banking on the elderly Yorks’ aging pains to play as deeply dramatic. This could have worked, if balanced properly, but too much of the series fixates on these details. The Argentina sequences are more successful because Stella’s character is so intensely duty bound to her mission.

Eight episodes (streaming) Amazon Prime The current fascination with multiverse stories and vicarious otherworldly escape routes is almost more interesting as a commentary on the present zeitgeist than it is as entertainment. It seems that after the last two years, a lot of people would love to uproot themselves from our time and space continuum and find a more benign one. Sadly, the one “Night Sky” presents isn’t worth the trip. Go outside and look at the real night sky: It’s much more magical than this series.

The plush palate of blood orange gives way to tart cranberry, with a touch of rosemary. Our Rosé is a crisp, dry style that’s perfect for the spring and summer months, chilled and close enough to refill your glass without having to get out of the hammock.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “We wish to make rage into a fire that cooks things rather than a fire of conflagration,” writes author Clarissa Pinkola Estés. That’s good advice for you right now. Your anger can serve you, but only if you use it to gain clarity—not if you allow it to control or immobilize you. So here’s my counsel: Regard your wrath as a fertilizing fuel that helps deepen your understanding of what you’re angry about—and shows you how to engage in constructive actions that will liberate you from what is making you angry.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Jeanette Winterson was asked, “Do you fall in love often?” She replied, “Yes, often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.” Even if you’re not usually as prone to infatuation and enchantment as Winterson, you could have many experiences like hers in the coming months. Is that a state you would enjoy? I encourage you to welcome it. Your capacity to be fascinated and captivated will be at a peak. Your inclination to trust your attractions will be extra high. Sounds fun!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran lexicographer Daniel Webster worked hard to create his dictionary, and it became highly influential in American culture. He spent over 26 years perfecting it. To make sure he could properly analyze the etymologies, he learned 28 languages. He wrote definitions for 70,000 words, including 12,000 that had never been included in a published dictionary. I trust you are well underway with your own Webster-like project, Libra. This entire year is an excellent time to devote yourself with exacting diligence to a monumental labor of love. If you haven’t started it yet, launch now. If it’s already in motion, kick it into a higher gear.

Scorpio

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Author John Banville wrote what might serve as a manifesto for some of us Crabs: “To be concealed, protected, guarded: that is all I have ever truly wanted. To burrow down into a place of womby warmth and cower there, hidden from the sky’s indifferent gaze and the harsh air’s damagings. The past is such a retreat for me. I go there eagerly, shaking off the cold present and the colder future.” If you are a Crab who feels a kinship with Banville’s approach, I ask you to refrain from indulging in it during the coming months. You’re in a phase of your long-term astrological cycle when your destiny is calling you to be bolder and brighter than usual, more visible and influential, louder and stronger. possibilities into practical realities. But you might. And even if you’re only partially victorious, you will learn key lessons that bolster your abilities to harness future amazements.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian novelist George Eliot wrote, “It is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings—much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.” I believe you will be exempt from this rule during the next seven weeks. You will be able to speak with lucid candor about your feelings—maybe more so than you’ve been able to in a long time. And that will serve you well as you take advantage of the opportunity that life is offering you: to deepen, clarify, and refine your intimate relationships.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Author bell hooks (who didn’t capitalize her name) expressed advice I recommend for you. She said, “Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” As you enter a phase of potential renewal for your close relationships, you’ll be wise to deepen your commitment to self-sufficiency and self-care. You might be amazed at how profoundly that enriches intimacy. Here are two more helpful gems from bell hooks: “You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself ” and “Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In April 2005, a 64-year-old Korean woman named Cha Sa-soon made her

first attempt to get her driver’s license. She failed. In fairness to her, the written test wasn’t easy. It required an understanding of car maintenance. After that initial flop, she returned to take the test five days a week for three years— and was always unsuccessful. She persevered, however. Five years later, she passed the test and received her license. It was her 960th try. Let’s make her your role model for the foreseeable future. I doubt you’ll have to persist as long as she did, but you’ll be wise to cultivate maximum doggedness and diligence.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In the eighth century, Chinese poet Du Fu gave a batch of freshly written poems to his friend and colleague, the poet Li Bai. “Thank you for letting me read your new poems,” Li Bai later wrote to Du Fu. “It was like being alive twice.” I foresee you enjoying a comparable grace period in the coming weeks, Pisces: a time when your joie de vivre could be double its usual intensity. How should you respond to this gift from the Fates? Get twice as much work done? Start work on a future masterpiece? Become a beacon of inspiration to everyone you encounter? Sure, if that’s what you want to do. And you could also simply enjoy every detail of your daily rhythm with supreme, sublime delight.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries actor Marilu Henner has an unusual condition: hyperthymesia. She can remember in detail voluminous amounts of past events. For instance, she vividly recalls being at the Superdome in New Orleans on September 15, 1978, where she and her actor friends watched a boxing match between Leon Spinks and Muhammad Ali. You probably don’t have hyperthymesia, Aries, but I invite you to

approximate that state. Now is an excellent time to engage in a leisurely review of your life story, beginning with your earliest memories. Why? It will strengthen your foundation, nurture your roots, and bolster your stability.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Poet Elizabeth Bishop noted that many of us are “addicted to the gigantic.” We live in a “mostly huge and roaring, glaring world.” As a counterbalance, she wished for “small works of art, short poems, short pieces of music, intimate, low-voiced, and delicate things.” That’s the spirit I recommend to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. You will be best served by consorting with subtle, unostentatious, elegant influences. Enjoy graceful details and quiet wonders and understated truths.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): In the coming weeks, you will need even more human touch than usual. Your mental, physical, and spiritual health require you to have your skin in contact with people who care for you and are eager to feel their skin against yours. A Tumblr blogger named Friend-Suggestion sets the tone for the mood I hope you cultivate. They write, “I love! human contact! with! my friends! So put your leg over mine! Let our knees touch! Hold my hand! Make excuses to feel my arm by drawing pictures on my skin! Stand close to me! Lean into my space! Slow dance super close to me! Hold my face in your hands or kick my foot to get my attention! Put your arm around me when we’re standing or sitting around! Hug me from behind at random times!” Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: RealAstrology.com, (877) 873-4888

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Shouldn’t the distance between impossible and improbable be widened?” asks poet Luke Johnson. I agree that it should, and I nominate you to do the job. In my astrological view, you now have the power to make progress in accomplishing goals that some people may regard as unlikely, fantastical, and absurdly challenging. (Don’t listen to them!) I’m not necessarily saying you will always succeed in wrangling the remote

Come Home to the Good Life

lightly more than 15,000 residents call Nelson County home, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Experts at UVA’s Weldon Cooper Center forecast the population will decline. But anyone who understands the pull of Nelson County and the rewards of living there will bet against that prediction. Residents get to live in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounded by natural beauty stretching from the Blue Ridge to the James River. It’s rural and accessible with spa and skis, farm and tractor, fishing pole and golf club, wine and beer. The mountains, valleys, and meadows create a panorama that even longtime residents like Marlo Allen continue to enjoy, and offer a lifestyle they love living. Allen grew up in Nelson County, left, and then came back to build a life and raise her family. As Associate Broker for Mountain Area Nest Realty, she helps a lot of people come home here. It happens all the time. Her fellow REALTOR® Julie Bendle recently welcomed her own two adult children back to Nelson County. People either don’t leave at all, or they leave long enough to know they want to come back. Add in the wave of people discovering the good life Nelson County offers and the population is bound to increase.

Outdoor Lover’s Paradise Nelson County is home to many of the iconic hikes and views in Central Virginia. Think Appalachian Trail; White Rock Falls and Crabtree Falls (the highest cascading falls east of the Mississippi); Humpback Rocks and Spy Rock with amazing 360 vistas.

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

If you prefer windshield views, the long-range sights from the Blue Ridge Parkway never disappoint. Six other scenic byways crisscross the county offering some of the best views on the East Coast. Fishermen and paddlers take their pick of the James, Tye, Piney, or Rockfish Rivers. The Montebello Fish Hatchery annually grows 100-150,000 trout—Brook, Brown, and Rainbow—until they are large enough to stock nearby rivers and lakes. Two-wheelers have options too. Mountain bike trails welcome beginners and experts. Whetstone Ridge Trail is called “the king of expert rides in Virginia.” Bikers seeking flatter terrain enjoy the two abandoned railways in the county. The seven-mile Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail follows the Piney and Tye Rivers. In Lovingston, read the historical marker and reflect on the 124 Nelson County residents who perished in Hurricane Camille’s 1969 flash floods.

Three Notch’d Brewing Company, Virginia’s largest independent craft beer maker, is staking ground on the famous route after purchasing the Wild Wolf Brewery space this year. Upgrades are planned for the 13-acre site, though Three Notch’d will start by using what’s already there. “However,” says Natalie Gershon, the company’s Chief Growth Officer, “this land gives us some flexibility to dream a bit bigger.” Maybe not so big as nearby AnheuserBusch’s Devils Backbone. The 91-acre site includes a Basecamp Brewpub & Meadows where bike races, trail runs, festivals, and other outdoor activities occur. Around the bend, Brewing Tree Beer Company keeps it authentic, local, and relaxed with team Gina and Mark Thompson (of Starr Hill Brewery fame). With Mark minding the mash, culinary artist and sommelier Gina crafts the delights emanating from onsite Scratch Kitchen. The music scene and slow-moving water of the North Fork River keep this a top stop on the Nelson 151 Trail.

Provisions Aplenty You can’t survive on alcohol alone. Fortunately, Nelson County’s expanding restaurant selections are sure to please. You’ll have no trouble finding classic pork barbecue and slaw to help that beer or cider go down.

It is joined by a half dozen others like Paulie’s Pigout selling “Afton-style BBQ,” homemade sides, and desserts to die for.

Make sure to try the Chili Cheese Pub Chips at the Smokin’ Barrel Restaurant at Blue Mountain Barrel House. For steaks, seafood, and homemade pasta along with BBQ, feast your tastebuds at Mountain Mama’s Fire Grill in Lovingston. Or go upscale at The Edge in Wintergreen Resort, or The Farmhouse at Veritas.

Wintergreen Resort Holding an outsized influence on the county, Wintergreen Resort is the kind of neighbor everyone wants to have. Aside from turning Nelson County into a four-season destination for vacationers and homeowners, Wintergreen takes its stewardship role seriously. Of the 11,000 acres in the resort, 6,000 are designated for conservation. The science-based research and education non-profit, The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen (TNFW) is committed to conserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Central Blue Ridge Mountains. After helping defeat the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, they worked to restore the scars left behind by the clear-cutting. Says Josh Palumbo, TNFW Forest Manager, “Fortunately, the forest regenerates very well if it isn’t damaged too severely.” TNFW maintains three nature preserves and more than 30 miles of hiking trails. “Like many other outdoor venues and experiences, our trails have seen their heaviest use these past two years,” says Palumbo. “During the pandemic, there was a definite shift. Many homeowners spent more time in their Wintergreen second home than they did in their primary residence. And I expect we will continue to have higher usage than pre-pandemic.” Delivering on its mission to encourage nature appreciation, TNFW helped Nelson County create its first nature preserve, the 340-acre Sturt Park and Nature Preserve in Shipman.

Like all good neighbors, Wintergreen is inviting the neighborhood and beyond to a nearly month-long celebration. The

Wintergreen Music Festival will be live from the resort and venues throughout the county from July 6-31. Artistic Director Erin Freeman says, “We are so excited to be back in full force to present our usual exhilarating mix of musical experiences! We’ll have full orchestra, virtuosic solos, chamber music, jazz, tango, bluegrass, and more.” Audiences can enjoy countless ticketed events including four weekends of full symphonic music featuring the Wintergreen Festival Orchestra. To kick the festival off, Veritas Winery hosts a special pre-Festival concert wine tasting on July 3. Tuesdays’ Social Concerts will be held in private homes. Wednesdays’ chamber music with a twist transports concertgoers to foreign lands. Come on down to Bold Rock Hard Cider or Valley Road Vineyards for the SERIES 151 concerts on Thursdays. Change it up on Festive Fridays with jazz, bluegrass, and tango in Wintergreen’s outdoor Dunlop Pavilion. There are even free masterclasses, workshops, and performances. So there’s no excuse not to have a heck of a good time. Spend your day hiking, golfing, playing tennis, or enjoying wine, beer, and cider tastings. Then finish the evening with music in the mountains for the whole month of the Wintergreen Music Festival.

Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the expansion of broadband internet service, and the pandemic push to rural settings. According to Allen, a fourth push is playing out now too. “In the last two years, there has been an explosion of buyers wanting to offer short-term rentals. These investment buyers want to use the property part-time and rent it out for the rest of the year. “Surrounding counties regulate the Airbnb market more strictly, while Nelson County remains supportive. And not just in Wintergreen and Nellysford, although those are the most easily marketed locations. Really, every part of Nelson County has something great to offer as a vacation rental. “Buyers will pay a bit more to be along Route 151 between Afton and Nellysford, but all areas are doing very well. Really, all of Nelson County is trending. The only thing holding us back is lack of inventory.” REALTOR® Steve Marianella, with Wintergreen Real Estate, agrees. “We have had a couple of years of brisk real estate sales.” Now inventory is down. “Even at Stoney Creek we only have a half dozen homes for sale and about 30 lots left for new construction.” It’s hard to convince people to leave such an idyllic setting. In the meantime, people are lining up for the chance to call Nelson County home. Carla Huckabee writes about high-performing real estate.
