Two weeks ago, C-VILLE ran an interview with Jennifer McClellan, the veteran state senator who has just begun her campaign for governor in 2021. This week, we’re in conversation with Jennifer Carroll Foy, a state delegate and public defender also contending for the job. Both are Democrats; both consider themselves progressives; both would be the first Black woman ever elected governor of a U.S. state should they win the job.

National politics has been a parade of bad news recently. The pandemic, which the rest of the world has figured out, has slowed us to a halt. The economy has never been worse. And now they’re taking apart the post office.

In Virginia, though, real change has been happening, and hopefully there’s more on the way. The General Assembly, fresh off a historically productive session earlier in the year, began its late-summer session this week. It’ll devote much of its energy to pandemic recovery, but police and criminal justice reform are top priories as well.

Yes, there are some rather important elections coming up between now and 2021, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending time talking with these gubernatorial candidates in the last few weeks. I encourage anyone furious or frustrated with national politics to take some small solace in the fact that—though we have a long, long way to go—the Old Dominion has talented Jennifer McClellan Jennifer Carroll Foy people fighting for progress.—Ben Hitchcock

IN BRIEF

Playing the heel Just a week into the semester, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill already has four COVID-19 clusters reported on campus—three in school-run residence halls and one in a fraternity house. (To quote the Daily Tar Heel, the university’s student paper, UNC “has a clusterfuck on its hands.”) UVA, meanwhile, is still sticking to its plan to bring students back in person in early September.

Bad blood

Rogers that A

statue of an old racist general in Charlottesville has once again been recontextualized—UVA’s George Rogers Clark monument was splattered with an impressive arc of red paint in the middle of the night on Sunday.

Clark was a general during the United States’ violent westward expansion in the 19th century. The statue shows Native

American people cowering in front of Clark’s horse and declares Clark the “conqueror of the northwest,” a designation that UVA historian Christian McMillen called “absurd” in a July UVA Today article about the statue.

The statue was erected during the same period as the Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson monuments downtown and the

Lewis and Clark statue on Main Street. The Lee and Jackson statues have been graffitied many times, most recently in May. A petition for the removal of the Clark statue circulated last year, and earlier this month UVA’s Racial Equity Task Force recommended that the monument come down.

On Monday morning, the school dispatched a crew to clean the statue.

ACPS bans confederate imagery Jail outbreak Four inmates at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail tested positive for COVID last week, according to data from the Thomas Jefferson Health District. Jails and prisons around the country have had serious COVID outbreaks in recent months, but the ACRJ had been a success story up to this point.

On August 13, one day after the third anniversary of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, the Albemarle County School Board voted to amend the dress code to ban all Confederate imagery in its schools, as well as other hate symbols, including the swastikas.

The new section of the code states that these images “cause substantial disruption to the educational environment and, therefore, are prohibited.”

At a school board meeting two years ago, six activists from the Hate-Free Schools Coalition were arrested—and one was hospitalized—while lobbying for this change. Less than a year later, the school board discussed banning Confederate imagery, but the change wasn’t made until this summer.

“DO NOT praise them for *finally* doing the right thing. We worked for this for years,” tweeted the Hate-Free Schools Coalition after the meeting.—Claudia Gohn

SKYCLAD AERIAL

Just one day before the General Assembly convened for a special session on criminal justice reform, Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Greene announced that State Senator Louise Lucas had been charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and “injury to a monument” in excess of $1,000. Two months ago, Lucas showed up to a demonstration at Portsmouth’s Confederate monument, and told police not to arrest the protesters planning to paint it. Protesters dismantled the monument hours after Lucas left the scene, which she says she did not condone.

The fraught relationship between Charlottesville’s Police Civilian Review Board and City Council reached an all-time low during the CRB’s meeting last week, with multiple board members revealing they’ve contemplated resigning. “They want to have this veneer of progressiveness by having us exist, but they’ll only do what they want to do,” said member Stuart Evans.

Bridging the gaps New Burley principal has big plans

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

K

Blount, a graduate of Hampton University, entered the education field 21 years ago and has worked as a teacher and administrator in multiple schools around Virginia and North Carolina.

“All three schools where I served as an assistant principal were very different,” says Blount, who also holds a master’s degree in teaching secondary education from Hampton, a certification in administration and supervision from Virginia Commonwealth University, and is currently pursuing a doctorate in educational management at Hampton. “That in itself really, really [helped] cultivate my leadership [skills], and prepare me for this position now.”

As a Black woman, Blount says she feels honored to be principal at Burley, which was an all-Black high school for city and county students from 1951 to 1967.

“The legacy and the history behind Burley Middle School has enthralled me for so long,” she says. “Because of the efforts of those students who attended Burley High School, and other schools that were set up like that similarly throughout the South...

I have [the opportunity] to be able to sit at the helm of Burley right now. That is tremendously humbling.”

“It’s such a revered legacy that I want to make sure it continues to be deeply cemented throughout this community,” she says, pointing to Burley varsity club and alumni as important community networks. “I am supportive of everything they want to do to ensure that the legacy of Burley is one that will live on—way beyond my years.”

asaundra Blount felt stagnant.

She had worked at Armstrong High School in her hometown of Richmond—first as a social studies teacher, then an assistant principal—for several years, and was ready for a new challenge.

So she accepted an assistant principal position at Albemarle High School. “There was a lot of conversation going on around makerspaces and project-based learning, and that really piqued my interest,” she says, as well as “up-and-coming work in cultural responsiveness.” Soon she became the school’s equity and diversity administrator. And now, five years later, she’s landed her biggest gig yet: Burley Middle School’s principal.

Despite the uncertainty of the upcoming school year, Blount has big aspirations for Burley, with a strong focus on culturally responsive teaching, which puts students’ cultural backgrounds and experiences at the center of every aspect of learning.

Burley, with around 50 percent non-white students, is among the most diverse schools in the county.

“I want to make sure we are keeping our data in front of us at all times,” says Blount, who is a member of the division’s antiracism steering committee. “We can easily get assessment data from students based on [their] performance, but there’s so many other data points that I want us to begin collecting and using, in order to inform where our gaps are in achievement and relationships—that’s going to provide that level of connectivity to allow cultural responsiveness to bridge those gaps.”

Blount also wants to give students more opportunities to delve into their interests and passions by creating after-school (or Saturday) exploratory academies in partnership with community organizations.

“I want [the academies] set up by interest, so students can jump in and start exploring what’s down the road,” she says. “While some of them may already know that they want to be pediatricians or teachers, they may not know that their love for social studies could lead them to archaeology. ...By the time they get to high school, As a Black woman, Kasaundra Blount feels honored to be they’ll already have a path the new principal at Burley Middle School, a former that they’re interested in.” all-Black high school.

Reopening rage Orange County’s plan for in-person class draws fear, anger, resignations from teachers

Mandatory in-person instruction at Orange County Public Schools has frustrated teachers and made them fearful for their health and the health of their students.

Multiple teachers emphasized that the school board is driving the push to return.

“I think the administration themselves, the principals, have put in an effort to make this thing work,” one teacher says. “My issue comes from all the way at the top.”

“The superintendent is pandering to a lot of people in the community,” says another teacher, in an effort to explain the district’s insistence on in-person learning.

“It’s a really rural community, and a lot of people here are of the thought that it’s not a real pandemic, that it’s a hoax.”

While Charlottesville has elected to begin the year completely virtually, more rural areas like Greene and Orange counties plan to bring students back in a hybrid format beginning in late August or early September. Louisa County students are already back in school.

“In the community as a whole, there was an underlying resentment when teachers were sent home to teach virtually,” says another teacher, citing social media posts made by neighbors and parents. “That we were getting paid to do nothing. Which was far from the truth—we’re doing more work, I think.”

“This time of year is usually really exciting,” the teacher continues. “This year, it’s not uncommon to hear a teacher say, I think I’m done. I’m going to quit. Which you normally would never hear at our school.”

“I have a 9-week-old infant at home that I’m scared to bring this home to,” says one teacher.

“A lot of people are just like, ‘this is it.’

They can’t do it anymore, they want to quit.

I’ve been looking for other jobs,” says a teacher with more than a decade of experience in the school system.

classroom has always been poor. As soon as I walk in, I’m congested.”

“It’s just the most absurd thing we’ve ever heard,” says another teacher.

The hallways are full of hand sanitizer dispensers that have been empty for the last two weeks, one teacher reports.

Additionally, teachers are being asked to take each student’s temperature in first period every day with a contactless thermometer. “It’s putting us more at risk, because we’re going to be face to face with them,” a teacher says.

Because each school only has one nurse, the district has attempted to limit the number of students who go to the nurse’s office. The recently approved health plan says, “First aid situations, to the degree possible, will be handled in the classroom by the student with teacher guidance to prevent office congregation and possible cross exposure.” And then, underlined, “Students should be triaged before they are sent to the clinic.”

“We’re not health care providers,” says one teacher.

While students have an option to attend class completely virtually, teachers are being told they must come in. Teachers who have tried to obtain a waiver excusing them from in-person class based on pre-existing health conditions have been rebuffed.

Multiple teachers mentioned that they have a colleague currently fighting cancer who has not been granted a waiver to work virtually.

“I know one teacher who had health issues. He resigned,” says another teacher.

“He was concerned about coming in, and essentially he was told he could resign.”

August 19 – 25, 2020 c-ville.com

orale is at the lowest level it’s ever been,” says one Orange County public school teacher. “You walk down the hallway and everybody is banging their heads against the wall because we’re just so frustrated.”

“The most appalling part of this,” says another teacher, “is that there’s so many things that they haven’t thought about.”

In rural Orange County, about an hour northeast of Charlottesville, students are slated to return to classrooms in person in late August. High schoolers will be allowed to return once a week, based on their last names, while pre-K through eighth grade will go in twice a week.

The plan for in-person learning has infuriated Orange County teachers, who are afraid for the health of their students, their families, and themselves. C-VILLE Weekly spoke with three teachers in the Orange County public school system, and all requested anonymity out of concern that their employment status might be affected by speaking up.

In mid-July, more than 70 teachers and staff in the district signed an open letter to the school board, asking that the year begin entirely virtually.

“I haven’t even heard it be mentioned,” one teacher says of the letter. “I don’t think that was even taken seriously.”

Multiple members of the Orange County schools’ pandemic response team, including the district’s human resources director, did not respond to a request to be interviewed for this story.

Teachers point out major holes in the district’s health plan, which was approved by the school board in early August.

Students are required to wear masks in the hallways, but teachers are not allowed to make them wear masks in classrooms, as long as the students are sitting at their desks.

“They’re still going to be in a classroom for an hour and a half with [other] students. How is that safe? It’s a closed environment,” one teacher says. “We have all these other restrictions of things they can’t wear. No hoodies and things like that. But we can’t tell them that they have to keep the mask on.”

Orange County High School was built in 1952. “The ventilation—I don’t even know the last time it’s been checked,” the teacher continues. “The ventilation in my

Other areas in the state are struggling with similar problems. Arlington County police issued a warning last week after five people died from drug overdoses in August. In Roanoke, police responded to twice as many fatal drug overdose calls this spring as they did in all of 2019, reports The Washington Post. And NPR reports that nationwide, overdoses are up 18 percent since the pandemic began.

The local increase in opioid overdose calls comes despite an overall decrease in the amount of emergency calls this year, says Lucas Lyons, the Charlottesville Fire Department’s systems performance analyst. Total emergency calls in the city were down 23 percent in the period from April to July 2020, compared to the same months in 2019.

“In general, 9-1-1 calls are down because of people’s fear of the pandemic and not entering the medical system,” says the Community Mental Health and Wellness Coalition’s Rebecca Kendall.

“But there is an increase in Charlottesville in calls for overdose despite that.”

Virginia Leavell, president of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad’s board of directors and director of Addiction Allies, a treatment center for people with opioid use disorder, attributes this increase to the isolation and decreased access to in-person recovery services many have experienced during the pandemic. “I think when we are looking at why there is some increase, it’s somewhat predictable, right?” Leavell says. “We’ve taken away the support structure and we’ve added a whole lot of stress.”

Leslie Fitzgerald, care coordinator for Region Ten’s office-based opioid treatment program, echoes Leavell. “The isolation, the increased depression and anxiety has led to increased use,” she says.

As a result, treatment and recovery services for people with substance use disorder remain vital. In March, C-VILLE covered how recovery groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, have transitioned

NEWS

VIRGINIA LEAVELL, ADDICTION ALLIES

By Ben Hitchcock editor@c-ville.com

J

ennifer Carroll Foy announced her 2021 gubernatorial campaign in late May— the first candidate to do so in this cycle.

Carroll Foy grew up in Petersburg, attended the Virginia Military Institute, and in 2017 became the first public defender ever elected to the Virginia general assembly. This session, she led the charge for Virginia’s passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, and that’s just the beginning of the long list of legislation she’s proud of—10 minutes after our interview concluded, she called back to add a few more bills to the list of achievements she’d already mentioned. The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

C-VILLE: How has your time as a public defender informed your political career?

JCF: I know firsthand the draconian laws

we have on the books that have caused us to have an unfair and unequal criminal justice system. As a public defender. I ensured that there was adequate representation for my clients, who are often mentally ill, or suffer from substance abuse, or are children who have been traumatized.

And I’ve been able to transfer that skill set and that knowledge base into legislation that is going to make our criminal justice system more fair and equitable—like reforming our cash bail system. If you’re safe enough to be released if you pay $50, then you’re safe enough to be released period. We have a justice-for-profit system where if you can’t afford to pay for your freedom you sit in jail for months at a time, but if you’re wealthy you can buy yourself out of jail immediately.

You would be the first Black woman elected governor in the United States.

Why is representation important, especially here in Virginia?

In Charlottesville, where our congressional district is severely gerrymandered, we’re very concerned with redistricting reform. There’s a redistricting amendment on the ballot this fall. You were one of a

handful of Democratic delegates who voted in favor of that bill in 2019 and then switched and voted against it in 2020. Why the change?

I have always stood for a third party nonpartisan commission being responsible for drawing our maps…but often times you have to vote on what’s before you. In 2019, when that redistricting amendment came before us, it was the best we could do at that time. But it still isn’t what we need.

The thing that swayed me was the words of Delegate Jeion Ward, where she stood up and said, “Many people who support this redistricting amendment, they’ll get up and tell you that it’s not good—that it’s good enough, that it’s the best we can do right now.” When you have something like the Virginia constitution—our most sacred document, our foundational document— do you really put substandard amendments in the constitution?

All of those things helped me make the decision that we can do better than what we had. I’m the first one to denounce gerrymandering in all forms and I believe that legislators should have no part in the drawing of our maps.

How has it felt personally to watch everything that’s been happening in Richmond over the last few weeks?

You see your community angry. You see the communities that you used to walk, up in flames. I try to constantly remind myself

“I am a woman of the people. I am not a career politician.

I am not in this to benefit myself.” that these protests are really people voicing their opinions and their anguish about what’s happening. For so long politicians have tried to placate people with false promises. COVID-19 has exposed what’s always beneath the surface. Too many Virginians can’t earn a decent paycheck, afford their bills, and get ahead.

I understand the challenges Virginia families face, because I face them also. I am a woman of the people. I am not a career politician. I am not in this to benefit myself.

I’m in this because it’s the right time to do the right thing for the right reason.

What are you doing to take a load off these days?

In this time, you relish the small things. I mean, when you have two 3-year-olds you can’t even go to the bathroom by yourself. I have them, I still have my clients, I’m still representing indigent people, I’m still a delegate preparing for special session, and then I have a full-on gubernatorial campaign that’s running during a global crisis and full recession and racial reckoning…If I can take a bath instead of a shower, that’s a win.

It’s past time for little girls to be able to look up and see themselves in the people who are making decisions. And one of the reasons that’s it’s so significant to see Kamala Harris named as the vice presidential pick is that for so long, little brown and Black girls haven’t been able to see that—and it’s hard to be what you can’t see.

Women of color have been the backbone of the Democratic Party for so long. It’s time to not only ask for our vote, but to also support us in leading the commonwealth and the country forward in positions of power.

Delegate Jennifer Carroll Foy is running for governor of Virginia in 2021.

transition from using opioids to moving into medication-assisted treatment, such as the use of Narcan is typically fairly smooth.”

Other services combating the opioid crisis have also been impacted by the pandemic, and Region Ten offers free opioid reversal training classes, which have been moved online, and participants now receive Narcan through the mail.

Leavell emphasizes that, given the emotional and financial strain of the pandemic, it’s especially important to be aware of the causes of opioid addiction. “There’s a misconception that addiction couldn’t happen to someone like me or my family. And the reality is that it can absolutely affect anyone.

It is just a matter of being prescribed an opioid and becoming physically dependent,” she says. “And if we’ve been fortunate enough not to experience that, I think we have responsibility to help those who have through no fault of their own, through making those resources accessible and being willing to talk about it.”

online during the pandemic. Similarly, some treatment and recovery services for those with opioid use disorder have shifted online.

“It’s not the same level of support that you would have if somebody was coming into the office, honestly,” Leavell says of the virtual options. “And it makes things like urine drug screening more difficult, as well.”

But Leavell also says that telehealth services have made it possible to see new patients. This spring, enrollment in Addiction Allies’ intensive outpatient program has tripled. “Which I think speaks to both the increased stress and the increased use [of substances] during this time, but also the importance of the telehealth service delivery in order to reach people who are having transportation issues [and] childcare issues,” she says. “Everything is easier if you can access treatment from your home.”

The OBOT program has retained almost all the individuals under its care during the pandemic, says Fitzgerald. A central component of the program is medicationassisted treatment, where drugs such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone may be used to reduce dependency.

This medication-assisted treatment can be done via telehealth, Fitzgerald says, and prescriptions are sent to the patient’s pharmacy of choice or delivered by Region Ten if necessary.

Leavell says that medication-assisted treatment through telehealth, though not ideal, is safe. “When we’re talking about opioid use disorder, it is a very, very uncomfortable withdrawal,” she says. “However, it is unlikely to be lethal and the

Turning the tables Supper at the Superette, Bashir’s Taverna closing

Earlier this month, Lovingston-based Virginia Distillery Company released its fourth annual Charity Cask Virginia-Highland Whisky, with this year’s batch benefiting the Nelson County Community Fund, Inc. The coffee-finished whisky is a collab with cold brew coffee company Snowing in Space, and fewer than 300 bottles were produced. The distillery is still closed to visitors, but the Charity Cask is available exclusively to Virginia residents for shipping or curbside pickup.

For more details, go to vadistillery.com.

Greenberry’s Coffee Roastery is also getting into the hardcoffee-drink market. The local chain recently launched a new line of products, Nitro Cold Brew with Spirits. Six different canned varieties are available with flavor notes like honey vanilla, salted caramel, and coconut chocolate. Find ’em at Whole Foods or email roasters@greenberrys.com to place an order for pick up.

CULTURE SOUND CHOICES

Angelica Garcia Cha Cha Palace (Spacebomb Records)

John Kelly In Between (Possible Sky)

Kelly’s wife and children contribute backing vocals to “Let the Children Sing,” and their presence is felt throughout. The album’s namesake, “Beginning, End and In Between,” is an ode to his wife, Angela, while “Good One There” honors his father, who passed away in 2013. In Between is a celebration of friendship, family, and social justice, that focuses on what we can accomplish when we work together, instead of in opposition (released 6/26).

Choose Your Own Adventure Roos In Space (self-released) Multi-instrumentalist Gina Sobel’s musical lineage is rooted in jazz.

Inspired by her father, a guitarist in a jazz trio, the first instrument she picked up was the flute—and she’s dabbled in experimentation ever since. Sobel harnessed these instincts to form Choose Your Own Adventure. Consisting of Sobel (vocals, flute, electric guitar), Andrew Hollifield (bass), Pat Hayes (drums), and Ryan Lee (electric guitar), the jazz-funk collective utilizes improvisation and a create-as-you-go mentality.

After forming in 2014, the group released two EPs in 2018, and are back with another: Roos In Space. Lead track “Hooloo” is an instrumental pick-me-up, while the single “Matches” provides a much-needed spark for today’s landscape (release date 8/14).

—Desiré Moses

It’s been upwards of 20 years since John Kelly’s last full-length release—so he’s making this one count. Before moving to Charlottesville, Kelly spent time in singer-songwriter circles in New York City and his home state of Connecticut, and teamed up with Grammy nominated producer Rob Mathes (Sting, Bruce Springsteen) for his debut album, Brighter Days.

Over the past two decades, he’s honed his skills in central Virginia, making a lot of friends along the way. When it came time to make In Between, these friends showed up. The two-year effort is recorded and mixed by James McLaughlin, produced by Rusty Speidel, and includes Michael Clem (Eddie From Ohio) on bass, Nate Leath (Love

Canon) on fiddle, Paul Rosner (Trees on Fire) on drums, and Michael Lille (The Sherpas) on guitar and banjo.

The result is a well-rounded mix of Americana, folk, and straightahead rock ‘n’ roll with something to say. “Freedom’s Song” recounts the Charlottesville tragedy on August 12, 2017, when the violent Unite the Right rally resulted in many injuries and the death of Heather Heyer. (Heyer’s mom, Susan Bro, greenlit the track.)

“Bronze and Stone” can be heard as a companion piece, centering on Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue. “Let the Children Sing” is a dedication to the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, whose activism in the wake of a school shooting in 2018 was an inspiration.

@cville_culture

Angelica Garcia has that “it” factor. Listen across a series of loops, echoes, and howls, and her performances stop you dead in your tracks. They make you feel something. There are times when a solid live performance doesn’t translate in the studio, but that’s not the case on Cha Cha Palace.

The album presents a sharp but welcome turn from her 2016 debut, Medicine for Birds.

Garcia grew up in a musical family in east L.A., and relocated to Richmond, Virginia, when she was 17, where she soon missed the cultural touchstones of her daily life. Although Garcia found kinship within RVA’s arts community, she grappled with the feeling of being an outsider. Much of Cha Cha Palace channels this dichotomy—and while the album is a tribute to L.A., it came to fruition with the help of her Virginia cohort.

Standout track “Jicama” is an exploration of duality (it made Barack Obama’s list of favorite songs of 2019). “I see you but you don’t see me,” Garcia sings of her identity as

a self-proclaimed “Salva-Mex-American.” Elsewhere, songs like “Guadalupe,” “La Llorona,” and “Agua De Rosa,” are a direct nod to her heritage. Across a vast sonic platform Cha Cha Palace both celebrates Garcia’s Latinx roots and highlights the complexities of biculturalism, and it is a triumph (released 2/28).

Returning to class I Used To Go Here is full of smarts and self-reflection

posed. In one scene, Kate is swimming with her new friends, at ease in what was once her element. In the next, a meeting with a student named April (Hannah Marks) turns adversarial. Kate’s tone with the up-and-comer, like she once was, comes from a position of authority, not advice. Whether out of personal resentment or creative jealousy, Kate is unable to support April, and it is the first indication that her mentor David’s influence might have been an impediment. Every artistic person knows this feeling, when another person’s opinion finds its way into your creation, and it is devastating to view from the outside.

What’s most memorable about I Used To Go Here is the way it packs these themes into such a short and sweet story, and that even the most absurd shenanigans are always motivated either thematically or narratively.

The biggest surprise might be seeing Lonely Island in the credits for what isn’t an anarchic, raucous laughfest, though the Lonely Island Classics production credit is a stroke of genius. While most of the film world’s focus is on what might happen with the big studio tent poles and theater chains, lockdown is a great opportunity to level the cinematic playing field. Kris Rey’s I Used To Go Here is a reminder that films can be deeply personal without being autobiographical; funny without setting a joke-per-page quota; and ambitious with a tiny budget.

It would be easy to make Kate a fish out of water as she reaches mutual respect with initially dismissive hipsters, but Rey is not interested in obvious gimmicks or staid twists.

Some aspects of the story are familiar, but the film dissects the ways we live as a projection of who we think we’re supposed to be.

Rey and those she collaborated with early in her career have evolved beyond the mumblecore label, but they all share the same seed of unflinching emotional honesty in their work as they grow older, even in a film like I Used To Go Here.

ris Rey’s I Used To Go Here examines the many trials and tribulations familiar to any creative person who goes professional, but the film itself is about more than artistic drive or finding inspiration. Our lead character, Kate Conklin (Gillian Jacobs), has pursued a very specific template of success all her life. When she finally achieves it, it brings her neither happiness nor reward. An opportunity to relive past adventures is fun but empty, revealing truths that should have been self-evident much earlier. Her journey is at times embarrassing, but never shaming. She must learn to live with the consequences of her actions, but is not defined only by her mistakes. Recognition of these patterns does not free her from their influence, and though her fate is even more uncertain than before, she no longer requires the validation she previously sought. If you’ve ever realized that something that brought you comfort was holding you back, you will certainly identify with I Used To Go Here.

Kate was once the star of her university’s English department. She created a legacy by establishing an off-campus residence as a writers’ retreat, a character it retained well after she left, even containing some of her original interior decoration. Under the tutelage of professor David Kirkpatrick (Jemaine Clement), she was destined for great things as a creative writer in the real world. Fifteen years later, her first published novel is a commercial and critical flop, and her promotional book tour is canceled. Her friends are all pregnant, while her wedding has just been called off.

When David invites her to read at her alma mater and offers a teaching job, Kate has her chance to revisit the place that shaped her, while examining if that shape is worth passing along to others.

With no job, no relationship, and a canceled book tour, Kate’s calendar is wide open, and she becomes involved in the lives of David’s current students and the occupants of

MAKING A

SPACE

By Rob Brezsny

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The soul, like the moon, is new, and always new again,” wrote 14thcentury mystic poet Lalleshwari. I will amend her poetic formulation, however. The fact is that the soul, unlike the moon, is always new in different ways; it doesn’t have a predictable pattern of changing as the moon does. That’s what makes the soul so mysterious and uncanny. No matter how devotedly we revere the soul, no matter how tenderly we study the soul, it’s always beyond our grasp. It’s forever leading us into unknown realms that teem with new challenges and delights. I invite you to honor and celebrate these truths in the coming weeks, Virgo. It’s time to exult in the shiny dark riddles of your soul.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I have one talent, and that is the capacity to be tremendously surprised,” writes Libran author Diane Ackerman. I advise you to foster that talent, too, in the weeks ahead. If you’re feeling brave, go even further. Make yourself as curious as possible. Deepen your aptitude for amazements and epiphanies. Cultivate an appreciation for revelations and blessings that arrive from outside your expectations.

To the degree that you do these things, the wonderments that come your way will tend to be enlivening and catalytic; unpredictability will be fun and educational.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Author and theologian Frederick Buechner writes, “If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, we must see not just their faces but also the life behind and within their faces.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to heed Buechner’s advice, Scorpio. You’re in a phase when you’ll have extra power to understand and empathize with others. Taking full advantage of that potential will serve your selfish aims in profound ways, some of which you can’t imagine yet.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In the dictionary, the first definition of “magic” is “the art of producing illusions as entertainment by the use of sleight of hand and deceptive devices.” A far more interesting definition, which is my slight adjustment of an idea by occultist Aleister Crowley, doesn’t appear in most dictionaries. Here it is: “Magic is the science and art of causing practical changes to occur in accordance with your will—under the rigorous guidance of love.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the latter definition could and should be your specialty during the next four weeks. psyche—and see if you can plumb hidden secrets about what gives it sublime pleasure.

You could seek out new ways to experience euphoria and enchantment—with an emphasis on ways that also make you smarter and healthier. You might also take inventory of your current repertoire of bliss-inducing strategies—and cultivate an enhanced capacity to get the most out of them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you ready to make the transition from slow, deep, subtle, and dark to fast, high, splashy, and bright? Are you interested in shifting your focus from behindthe-scenes to right up front and totally out in the open? Would it be fun and meaningful for you to leave behind the stealthy, smoldering mysteries and turn your attention to the sweet, blazing truths? All these changes can be yours—and more. To get the action started, jump up toward the sky three times, clicking your heels together during each mid-leap.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Greenland is a mostly autonomous territory within the nation of Denmark. In 2019, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his government was interested in buying the massive island, describing it as “a large real estate deal” that would add considerable strategic value to his country. A satirical story in The New Yorker subsequently claimed that Denmark responded with a counter-offer, saying it wasn’t interested in the deal, but “would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government.” I offer this as an example for you to be inspired by. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to flip the script, turn the tables, reverse the roles, transpose the narrative, and switch the rules of the game.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Doris Lessing told us, “It is our stories that will recreate us.”

Whenever we’re hurt or confused or demoralized, she suggested, we need to call on the imagination to conjure up a new tale for ourselves. “It is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix,” she believed. The fresh narratives we choose to reinvent ourselves may emerge from our own dreams, meditations, or fantasies. Or they might flow our way from a beloved movie or song or book. I suspect you’re ready for this quest, Pisces. Create a new saga for yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Motivational speaker Les Brown says his mission in life is to help people become uncomfortable with their mediocrity.

That same mission is suitable for many of you Rams, as well. And I suspect you’ll be able to generate interesting fun and good mischief if you perform it in the coming weeks. Here’s a tip on how to make sure you do it well: Don’t use shame or derision as you motivate people to be uncomfortable with their mediocrity. A better approach is to be a shining example that inspires them to be as bright as you are.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Taurus musician and visual artist Brian Eno has a practical, down-toearth attitude about making beautiful things, which he has done in abundance. He says that his goal is not to generate wonderful creations nonstop—that’s not possible—but rather to always be primed to do his best when inspiration strikes. In other words, it’s crucial to tirelessly hone his craft, to make sure his skills are constantly at peak capacity.

I hope you’ve been approaching your own labors of love with that in mind, Taurus.

If you have, you’re due for creative break-

throughs in the coming weeks. The diligent efforts you’ve invested in cultivating your talents are about to pay off. If, on the other hand, you’ve been a bit lazy about detailoriented discipline, correct that problem now.

There’s still time to get yourself in top shape.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): In his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Gemini musician Kanye West confesses the decadent and hedonist visions that fascinate and obsess him. Personally, I’m not entertained by the particular excesses he claims to indulge in; they’re generic and unoriginal and boring.

But I bet that the beautiful dark twisted fantasies simmering in your imagination, Gemini, are more unique and intriguing. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to spend quality time in the coming weeks diving in and exploring those visions in glorious detail. Get to know them better.

Embellish them. Meditate on the feelings they invoke and the possibility that they have deeper spiritual meanings. (P.S. But don’t act them out, at least not now.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “Make all your decisions based on how hilarious it would be if you did it,” advises Cancerian actor Aubrey Plaza.

I wish it were that simple. How much more fun we might all have if the quest for amusement and laughter were among our main motivating principles. But no, I don’t recommend that you always determine your course of action by what moves will generate the most entertainment and mirth. Having said that, though, I do suspect the next few weeks may in fact be a good time to experiment with using Plaza’s formula.

WHAT’S ON FOLKS’ LISTS WHEN THEY HOUSE HUNT? Clearly there are many factors such as the age of the buyer, whether the home is for a family of one or many, the amount of privacy they desire and other considerations.

Overall statistics indicate a definite move toward smaller homes compared to a decade ago.

“I think the trend really started with the recession around 2008,” declares REALTOR® Greg Slater, Associate Broker with Nest Realty in Charlottesville.

“Everyone started looking at building projects more closely.”

According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the average house size reached its peak ten years ago in 2007 at a bit over 2,500 square feet. By 2015, the average was estimated to be about 10 percent smaller and the trend seems to be holding.

A related development is the “greening” of housing with careful attention paid to special components and construction to enhance energy savings.

“The correction in the market was an opportunity to really look at energy efficiency,” Slater continues. “A high percentage of Charlottesville builders were into green changes before they were required to be.”

These requirements, he explains, typically are incorporated into Building Codes in various jurisdictions and include performance feature provisions like the tightness of the home, insulation, and air changes per hour. “That level of code has not been adopted everywhere yet,” he says, “but our local builders are typically ahead of the market and continue to be.”

Also popular is repurposing materials during construction.

Latitude 38 is a Charlottesville homebuilding company specializing in energyefficient homes. Although it builds only new homes, some components are recycled.

“We like to reuse material when possible,” says co-owner Joey Conover. For example,

What Do Homebuyers

WANT These Days?

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

the company has incorporated previously used wood from various sources including old barns and even basketball court flooring being replaced by a high school.

Informed Buyers “We have much better informed buyers in the world these days,” Slater says, noting that many folks have changed their mindset about house size. “It wasn’t so much downsizing as ‘right-sizing.’”

A smaller home costs less to build, of course, and over its lifetime requires a smaller mortgage, less upkeep, and lower energy expense for heating and cooling.

In addition, smaller homes fit better with today’s lifestyle. Families are not as big and people often seek recreation and entertainment away from home, with less need for a formal foyer, living room, and separate dining room.

Instead, the family room, kitchen, living and dining areas are likely to flow into each other, decreasing the need for walls which take up floor space. Another change: today’s flat-screen TVs and small speakers have replaced the

space-gobbling “entertainment centers” of previous years.

But Wait!

On the other hand, says Slater, “COVID is causing all sorts of new evaluation by buyers. People have been spending more time at home for weeks now.”

While a few people were already working from home, at least part time, suddenly the numbers exploded. For some, it appears it will be an even bigger part of their work schedule or become permanent.

Folks who have been working and “Zooming” from their kitchen table are eager for a separate home office, particularly if others are at home during the day.

“These days some people want to reposition to a bigger home or better location,” Slater observes. “We are also seeing early stages of flight from metro areas to more rural areas or at least less densely populated places like our Charlottesville area. In addition, pools and yard space have become much more in demand in recent months.”

Other features high on today’s house shoppers’ wish lists include that familiar and valid desire for location-locationlocation. Safety is another important requirement, followed by a floor plan that suits the buyers’ needs, upgraded kitchens, separate laundry rooms, and double garages.

Age Matters America’s aging population is also influencing the trend toward smaller homes. “Builders always talk generationally,” Slater comments, “and the baby boomers have a tremendous influence on economy and housing now.”

When the kids leave home and folks retire, they often downsize to save the cost and effort of maintaining a large place. Statistics show that while about 13 percent of the population was 65 or older in 2010, that number will be approaching 20 percent by 2030.

These people generally prefer singlelevel houses or condos with seniorfriendly features, such as a generous main-level master bedroom, barrier-free doors, grab bars in bathrooms, and definitely low maintenance.

“Still,” Slater says, “the real drivers today are the millennials. They are just hitting the age for buying their first home. They will be driving the construction market and they want the right type of house with walkability, connectivity and energy efficiency.”

Energy Efficiency High on the List New homes and retrofits are generally moving toward more green features fostered by technology such as low-E windows that have coatings to minimize ultraviolet and infrared light without compromising visible light. Water-efficient features such as dual-flush toilets and low-flow faucets are also in demand.

ENERGY STAR®-rated appliances, heating and air conditioning units, lighting fixtures, and even roofs are pretty

Folks with pets are well served by a REALTOR® who is savvy to the needs and desires of pet owners and can guide homebuyers to the most suitable properties on the market.

Just as home shoppers with children favor properties in good school districts with safe playing areas, people with animals are definitely swayed by pet-friendly features in a prospective home and neighborhood.

Such neighborhoods can be spotted by visiting at various times of the day. An

Vibrant.

important consideration is sidewalks for safety when exercising pets. Are people walking dogs and chatting with each other? Are there pet stations to easily dispose of pet waste? What about access to trails for extended walks?

Talking with pet owners already living in a prospective neighborhood is an excellent idea. You can ask about nearby dog parks, good veterinarians in the area, pet licensing requirements, dog sitters, or even doggie day care.

Good fencing is usually number one on the list for dog owners since repairing an existing fence or installing a new one can be an undesirable extra expense.

There may be HOA limits on the type, height, or location of a fence and new fencing may have to pass an architectural review board, even if it’s one of those underground electric ones requiring a special “shock” collar on the animal.

Pets who are usually confined in the home or behind a fence can occasionally slip out. Is there heavy traffic on nearby streets? Are there wild animals that could be a menace? In Central Virginia, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, and even bears can pose a threat.

Next on the list, say many people with pets, is easy-to-clean floors. When it comes to fur, mud, and, um, “accidents,” it’s much easier to clean hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile than wall-to-wall carpeting.

Another useful amenity is a place to wash a pet. Is there an outdoor area with a hose? Does the garage or laundry have a sink large enough for your pet?

When pets have their own secure spac- 35 es, they are less likely to get stepped on or trip people in the home or their guests.

A separate room with a door or gate is ideal. Often a laundry room can serve.

Cat owners will appreciate an out-of-theway yet accessible place for the litter box.

People with older pets may prefer a single-story, ground level home rather than having to use stairs or elevators to take pets outdoors. Upper levels may pose another problem, especially for cats who love to watch out windows. Veterinarians have an unfortunate term for animal injuries when upper-story windows and screens are not secure or there are too large spaces on balcony barriers: “highrise syndrome.”

The Bottom Line?

Clearly there are many factors in choosing a home. It’s essential to calculate ahead of time what considerations are absolute and what you would be willing to compromise on. How important are the age, size, and layout of the home?

How significant is the neighborhood and yard? What features are particularly important?

Having a list before you start shopping can help you make the best possible decision.

When Marilyn Pribus and her husband moved from California to Albemarle County, they reduced their living space from more than 2,000 square feet to 1,400 and chose a pet-friendly neighborhood where they learned dogs’ names even before the names of the owners taking them for walks.

FEATURE

Many homebuyers are influenced by needing pet space. In fact, for first-time homebuyers, a recent survey showed that having space for a dog was the third most important consideration for buying rather than renting. (Higher considerations?

More living space and building equity.)

The most numerous household pets are actually fish, but since aquariums don’t much affect housing choices, we’ll just talk about cats and dogs. Close to two-thirds of American families own pets with about 94 million cats just edging out 90 million dogs. In fact, the average home has more than one animal.

Pet owners include young singles who have moved away from family and enjoy animal companionship, divorced people who fill a void with pets, couples who have never had children or whose children have left home, and, of course,

households with children that include “furry kids” as part of the family.

Folks in Central Virginia have their fair share of pets. Many are alumni of the Charlottesville-Albemarle, Fluvanna County, or Nelson County SPCAs, the Madison-Greene Humane Society and various other local rescue groups. Others come to town with pets already part of the family.

To some extent, of course, having a pet may limit the available housing options.

Whether renting or buying, several factors are at play. Some rentals—apartments, condos, and houses—are OK with animals, but many limit the size, number, species, or breed of animals on the lease. Often an extra deposit and monthly fee are charged.

In addition, many homeowner associations (HOAs) have rules about animals.

Some typical regulations cover the number and type of pets, animal noise, and whether pets must be leashed. There may be fees for animals and there are often rules on fencing as well.

much standard these days. (ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.)

Good insulation is another definite plus, according to Slater, and one that adds value as a retrofit. “A tightly built home with better insulation costs less to operate without substantially driving up the cost of that home,” he says.

“Another trend really popping up is solar panels—upon construction or retrofit,” Slater adds. “People are basically paying for power in advance. With the help of appraisers, solar has an add-on value as well.”
