8.26.20

A few years ago, I spent a summer working in the archives of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, attempting to organize its vast collection of letters to and from Civil War soldiers. My goal was to find as much biographical information as I could about each letter writer and recipient, and I quickly became dependent on a resource I hadn’t expected to use: findagrave.com. At a glance, I found the premise of the website kind of ghastly—it’s a repository for people to upload photos they’ve taken of headstones and grave markers. Who would want to spend their life squatting in cemeteries, photographing the well-worn inscriptions on these stones? Soon, though, it became clear to me that the graves were more alive than I’d known. Graveyards themselves provide a wealth of biographical information. In some cases, birth and death dates chiseled into headstones are the only remaining records of a person’s lifespan. A cemetery tells us where a person died, which tells us, in part, where they lived. And often, cemeteries tell us who a person loved, based on who they’re resting next to. Sometimes, I learned more from a single faded gravestone than from a stack of correspondence. This week, I was lucky to tour the Daughters of Zion Cemetery with two extremely knowledgeable local public historians. For years, they’ve been working to research the lives of the people who are buried in Daughters of Zion—people who, like so many other Black residents of Charlottesville throughout the years— have not been given their due in the city’s public memory. I encourage anyone reading to take a quiet stroll through the breezy graveyard. Spend some time with the people buried there. Get to know them.—Ben Hitchcock

NEWS IN BRIEF

Passing the test Students returning to UVA for the fall semester were required to submit a COVID test before arriving in Charlottesville. The school has now received 13,000 tests—threequarters of the kits they sent out—and just 36 students, or .3 percent of those tested, have come back positive, reports NBC29. Inperson classes begin September 8.

Biden busted

Shut it down

Governor guesses Terry McAuliffe’s long, coy flirtation with a governor’s run got a little more serious last week. After raising money through his old PAC for months, the former governor filed official paperwork to run as a Democratic candidate. He still claims he will not make an official decision until after the presidential election.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Former VA guv Terry McAuliffe filed paperwork to run again.

The Democratic Convention won plaudits for its creative all-virtual roll call vote last week, as viewers were taken on a hokey, state-by-state tour of the country. Charlottesville local and Gold Star father Khizr Khan, who made a name for himself by delivering an impassioned speech at the 2016 convention, represented Virginia in the roll call. Khan delivered his brief remarks in front of the free speech wall downtown. But sharp-eyed Twitter user @fern_cliff noticed that the colorful “Joe Biden” and “Vote 2020” written on the wall behind Khan had been chalked on top of preexisting Black Lives Matter protest art. In one corner of the wall, the words “systemic racism” poke out from between the “Joe” and the “Biden.” On the campaign trail, Biden has repeatedly mentioned that the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville—and Donald Trump’s ensuing “very fine people on both sides” comments—inspired his presidential run. The first words of Biden’s official campaign announcement in April 2019 were “Charlottesville, Virginia.” The former veep has not visited Charlottesville, however, even before travel was restricted by coronavirus. This latest chalk-job can’t help Biden’s standing among local activists who already feel as though they’ve been used as a campaign prop.

Not long after being splattered with an arc of red paint, UVA’s George Rogers Clark monument was once again recontextualized last week, as a nighttime visitor attempted to remove the general’s head with a saw, per photos shared by Twitter user @tormaid. The visitor left a good gash in the general’s neck, but wasn’t quite able to finish the job. Maintenance crews have been spotted trying to repair the damage, but the university has not released a statement.

A press release from the union says the group formed as “a direct result of growing dissatisfaction” with the school’s disregard for student and employee input in pandemic response planning.

he University of Virginia is sticking with its plan to allow students back on Grounds September 8, two weeks later than its initial August 25 start day—though many students are facing a virtual fall semester with significantly less financial aid than in previous years. Sean Dudley, a rising fourth-year, decided to continue college at his parents' house in Midlothian due to the concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. When Dudley checked his financial aid status on August 15, he found that he had an outstanding balance of around $2,900 that was due less than a month later. Abby Keats noticed that her aid had been reduced by roughly $4,000, leaving her with

an outstanding balance of $817. Her previous financial package had remained unchanged since June, and the most recent change had come without warning. “My main issue with this is that it was done last minute with no prior knowledge of it happening,” Keats says. On August 17, some students were greeted with an email from Student Financial Services indicating that their aid package had been modified. Carolyn, a fourth-year, logged on right away and found her financial aid package empty. She called SFS and was put on hold. She was the 54th person in line, and waited for over three hours to speak to a representative. C-VILLE Weekly spoke with 11 students who reported their financial aid packages had been significantly reduced without notice.

With much on the line, voter registration groups push through the pandemic By Carol Diggs news@c-ville.com

EZE AMOS

n each of Virginia’s last five national elections, voter registration around the state has surged anywhere from 6 to 10 percent. This year, coronavirus has made voter registration (like so many things) just a little harder. Registering online, available throughout the pandemic shutdown, requires a Virginia driver’s license or DMV-issued ID—things that were hard to get when DMV offices were closed for two months. Even now, the earliest available appointment for driver’s licenses and IDs at the Charlottesville DMV is the end of October, despite voter registration closing on October 13. The other options are to register by mail, or in person at the registrar’s office; local registrars have stayed open for the most part, but hours at the Charlottesville office have been cut back through the end of August. Overall, early indicators suggest that the area will feel some election-year registration bumps. Applications have been increasing since March, says Melissa Morton, the City of Charlottesville’s director of elections and general registrar. Nelson County Director of Elections Jacqueline Britt says her office has handled more than 1,500 requests for new registrations or address changes in the last five months. In Greene County, according to registrar Jennifer Lewis-Fowler, voter registrations are actually outpacing the same period in 2016. Still, the pandemic has hampered efforts by both local governments and nonprofits to expand registration among young people and the underserved. Visits to high schools and nursing homes, and registration drives at libraries and city events, have been curtailed. Charlottesville’s Morton cites one of many examples: “Our office and the Albemarle County registrar’s office usually partner to do a drive at UVA, but we haven’t heard from the university—

Tara Mincer works with Spread the Vote/Project ID, which helps underserved populations obtain all forms of identification, including voter registration.

although some fraternities and sororities have expressed interest.” The League of Women Voters, a major player in voter education, usually has volunteers setting up registration tables at neighborhood association events, swimming pools, farmers’ markets, grocery stores, and shopping malls—all difficult if not impossible in this contactless environment. Sue Lewis, voter services chair of the League’s Charlottesville Area chapter, says her group is working on ways to promote registering early, especially for those who plan to vote by mail. But she admits that in the midst of COVID-19, with no public events, large gatherings, or even people strolling on the Downtown Mall, “how to reach people is a real conundrum.” Spread the Vote/Project ID focuses on helping underserved populations obtain all forms of identification, including voter registration. Tara Mincer, co-lead for the Charlottesville chapter, says her group holds weekly drives in the parking lot of Loaves

& Fishes, and works closely with both the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail and Piedmont House to help former inmates and homeless voters. But it’s challenging. “Our volunteers can’t even safely offer to drive people to the registrar’s office or the DMV,” Mincer says. Virginia Organizing, a nonprofit focused on helping underserved populations make their voices heard, has tried to find creative ways to work within social distancing. Amanda Dameron, the organization’s representative for central Virginia, runs a weekly Zoom training (open to all, it’s been averaging five-10 people a session) for people who want to assist in local or neighborhood voter registration. Dameron says the pandemic has forced her group to concentrate on disseminating information rather than in-person outreach. “We’re asking our volunteers to tap their personal networks, use their social media and phones, to spread the word and make sure that everyone has a plan for how to register and how to vote.”

Voting in Virginia: the basics

How can I register, or check my registration? The easiest

way to register, update your address, or transfer your registration from another state is online, via the Citizen Portal. You will need either a valid Virginia driver’s license

or a Virginia DMV-issued ID. If you don’t have either, you can fill out an application form (available online, by mail, or in post offices and many state agencies) and submit it by mail, or in person at your local registrar’s office. Registration applications must be received by the registrar’s office or postmarked by 5pm on October 13. How can I request a vote by mail ballot? Once you

are registered, you have until October 23 to request a vote by mail ballot (online or by mail, email, or fax). When is the deadline to submit a vote by mail ballot? Your ballot must be

postmarked by November 3 and received by the registrar’s office by noon on November 6—so mail early! Alternatively, you can deliver your ballot (in person or curbside) at your

local registrar’s office by 7pm on November 3. Be prepared to show identification, and note that the registrar’s office cannot accept a ballot from a third party. What about voting early?

You can vote in-person absentee at your local registrar’s office from September 19 through October 31. You don’t need to provide a reason.

to someone. SFS, on the whole, has been very quiet about every-thing and have made few public announcements so I learned much from my friends and other people on Reddit.” Just the week before, some students had experienced unrelated errors in their financial aid packages, which were then corrected over the weekend of August 15-16. At press time, other students still have not received their financial aid package for the fall semester. Coy recommends that those affected by the confusion modify their response to the August 5 survey to “living at home with cost,” or email sis-cc@virginia.edu to change their housing status. Some students, like Dudley, received more financial aid after battling with SFS. “I still wanted to say that it was ridiculous that UVA made me jump through all these hoops and lied to me about certain things,” he says.

Reaching out

August 26 – September 1, 2020 c-ville.com

The reductions likely stem from an August 5 survey that asked current students about their plans to return to Grounds. The email, sent by Dean of Students Allen Groves, did not indicate that the survey might result in changes to financial aid. Students choosing not to return to Charlottesville or student dorms were given the option to select between “living at home with financial costs,” and living at home “without cost.” Many students, including Dudley, chose the “without cost” option, because he wasn’t paying rent. But Dudley acknowledges that, even if he didn’t have to pay rent, his family would accrue additional charges, like increased utility bills. Colleges and universities are required by federal guidelines to factor in housing costs when calculating financial aid allowances. “The cost of attendance for students may change, as required by federal regulations, since they may no longer have housing or travel costs and will have a reduced student fee,” says UVA spokesman Brian Coy. “This reduced cost of attendance will be why some students see a reduced financial aid award.” Even so, some students were specifically told that they would not have a reduction in financial aid, regardless of their housing situation. Another UVA student, who did not want to disclose their name, sent a message to SFS asking for confirmation that they wouldn’t be charged for on-Grounds housing if they decided to live at home due to COVID-19. “Financial aid does not change whether you live in UVA housing or not,” the email response from SFS states. “We utilize the estimated amounts in the cost of attendance when calculating financial aid.” Two months later, the student’s financial aid was reduced by $8,000, then amended to a reduction of $4,000, after they chose to stay at home. “The entire process has been horrible,” the student says. “I had to wait for about two hours on the phone in order to finally be able to talk

Left: A 2010 sketch from the National Register of Historic Places shows the scattered markers visible above the ground at Daughters of Zion Cemetery. Right: 2020 electromagnetic imaging reveals all the cemetery’s burials. Each yellow dash is a grave site.

“The radar transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground, and when that energy encounters materials with different electric properties, some of that signal is reflected back to the surface,” he says. “We measure the time very carefully between when the pulse was transmitted and when it’s received back. That’s how you determine the depth of an object.” The pulses are accurate down to a centimeter, and though they don’t tell the geologists what the object is, they are extremely good at pinpointing where objects are. “If there were only a couple of graves scattered about, they might be very difficult to recognize. So what we’re really looking for is patterns,” Howard says. In this case, the subterranean objects were all roughly gravesized, and laid out in neat rows. “In the Judeo-Christian tradition, graves are typically oriented east-west,” he says.

“Seeing those rows makes it clear that we are imaging graves.” NAEVA has also conducted a GPR analysis at Pen Park, where the geologists found more unmarked graves, likely belonging to the enslaved people held by the Gilmer and Craven families. The unmarked Pen Park graves lie just outside the walls of the wellmarked family cemeteries. During our stroll through Daughters of Zion, Whitsett-Hammond stops periodically to pick up a stick and throw it out of the pathway, or to pull up a stone marker that’s toppled. Cicadas hum and a breeze blows through the shady space. “You can walk through and it’s very peaceful,” she says. St. Rose and Whitsett-Hammond hope to discover the identities of more of the hundreds of unidentified people buried in the cemetery, and also learn as much biographical information as possible about the people who have already been identified. In 2017, the preservation group erected a stone obelisk near the cemetery’s entrance. The inscription reads: “Memorial to the Unknown. Gone But Not Forgotten.” “We’re always reaching out to the community,” says Whitsett-Hammond. “In case they may know of somebody who had heard of somebody who was buried here.”

There are about 140 visible markers at Daughters of Zion, but a recent geological radar survey estimated that the cemetery actually holds 641 graves.

“What they had was a colored section. And the Daughters of Zion didn’t want to be relegated to a colored section.”

The descendants of those buried in Daughters of Zion never forgot the place, though. Like St. Rose, Whitsett-Hammond has family buried in the cemetery. As a child, she made a yearly pilgrimage to the site where her ancestors rest. Grave markers have disappeared over the years—they’ve sunk into the earth or been pilfered by vandals. Some of the graves were likely never marked. “When we started working here in 2016, you could barely read any of these markers, they were turned over,” says St. Rose. “We have one or two that had sank down into the ground, and because of erosion we were able to find them,” Whitsett-Hammond says. At the behest of the city’s Parks & Recreation Department, Howard’s team used a state-of-the-art radar system to map out the unmarked plots.

round the gentle, grassy slope, under the shade of old trees, stone markers are scattered here and there. Some are arranged in neat rows, some stand alone. A few are shining, new, and sturdy. Many are little more than half-buried shards of stone poking out of the soil. All told, there are around 140 visible grave markers here, in the historic Daughters of Zion Cemetery, where many of 19th- and 20th-century Charlottesville’s most important Black leaders are buried. This summer, a high-tech geological radar survey has revealed more of the history below the surface. The radar estimates that the cemetery holds 641 graves. The 2015 sign marking the cemetery’s inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places says the land “may contain as many as 300 graves.” Bernadette WhitsettHammond and Edwina St. Rose, two descendants of people buried in the cemetery, have been working to uncover the place’s history since 2016, and have so far collected the names of 312 people buried there. “We believed that there were more,” says Whitsett-Hammond. “We imagined the cemetery was full, but we didn’t know for sure until we had the ground-penetrating radar.” “Unmarked graves are very common,” says Mark Howard, a senior geologist at the local firm NAEVA Geophysics, who led the team that conducted the new radar survey. “…But we were also surprised by the number of graves at Daughters of Zion.” The cemetery was established in 1873 by the Daughters of Zion, a charitable organization comprised of local Black women. The group staked out the land because the larger Oakwood Cemetery, across the street, was segregated. “What they had was a colored section,” says St. Rose. “And the Daughters of Zion didn’t want to be relegated to a colored section.” A walk through the cemetery is a tour of Black Charlottesville’s post-bellum history. “There’s Dr. Whittaker, who had a hospital named after him in Newport News,” says St. Rose. “The Coles family, they were builders,” she says, gesturing to another plot. Under one large tree, surrounded by family, is Benjamin Tonsler, the long-time principal of the Jefferson School and namesake of Tonsler Park. Elsewhere lies Burkley Bullock, St. Rose’s ancestor, who owned a restaurant and founded the Piedmont Industrial Land and Improvement Company, which helped Black Charlottesville residents buy homes. The Daughters of Zion society disbanded in 1933, and burials in the cemetery declined in frequency. In the 1970s, the city declared the plot officially abandoned. Later, a storm drain was tunneled through, which may have further disrupted the grave sites.

A season of firsts By Julia Stumbaugh arts@c-ville.com

Live Arts new Executive Director Anne Hunter worked with Interim Artistic Director Jeremy Pape to launch a unique season that includes live but digitally viewed programming, and collaborations with local art and music makers.

director: introducing diversity to the relatively closed-off Charlottesville theater scene. “Our mission is forging theater and community, and that has held us in good stead for a long time,” Hunter says. “But it means different things in this time and place than it did. When we talk about community, we’re talking about multiple communities, and how can we do that better and serve different communities that we haven’t played a stronger role in?” Hunter and Pape hope that the fall season will reach members of those underserved communities by featuring casts that can include them. “One of the ways we try to talk about casting is that no character has to be cast in any ethnic framing unless they have to be,” Pape says. “... And Marat/Sade is ab-

solutely in that vein. Anybody on that stage can be anybody.” By next calendar year, Live Arts hopes to expand its productions to include a socially distanced audience in-house. Hopefully, actors won’t be sequestered to their separate Zoom screens forever. But the directors don’t see the digital side of these shows and activities going away anytime soon. Online broadcasts have allowed the theater to overcome physical and social limitations to reach both a wider cast and audience than Hunter had ever imagined when she first arrived last winter. “We will look different than we have in the past 30 years,” Hunter says. “We’ll build up that great legacy, but better and more reflective and more engaged in the multiple communities in Charlottesville.”

s the lights dim and the countdown begins, it almost feels like a typical evening at Live Arts. But then you look away from your screen, and the illusion is broken. You’re on your couch, with a bowl of microwave popcorn and self-poured wine. And instead of spotlights bursting to life, there’s only the pale glow of a laptop. The August production of In The Heights was the first full-length play overseen by Live Arts’ new Executive Director Anne Hunter since the theater was forced to shut down its 2019 season in mid-spring, and the first fully digital production Live Arts has ever attempted. The show was broadcast entirely via a Zoom video call, with each actor performing and singing remotely to their own camera. “One of the things that really informs every single aspect of what we’re doing is that nebulous, ‘How does this feel when we experience it?’...and that sort of helps us inform what we think our audience might experience,” Interim Artistic Director Jeremy Pape says. “That separation, that digital interlocutor of the screen, makes it really difficult to gauge that.” The Zoom-based In The Heights became an utterly unique experience. As harmonies expanded, the number of speakers multiplied; screens went abruptly to black as a character stormed out of a scene and popped up unexpectedly, bursting into a room. The actors turned their lamps off to display a city-wide blackout, flicked on strobe lights to enter a club, picked up their own fork and knife when a group sat down to dinner. This individual approach to a joint creation represents Hunter and Pape’s effort to keep this core of the Charlottesville arts scene alive in a time when traditional plays are no longer physically feasible. Hunter joined Live Arts in February, bringing a background in nonprofit work to helm the business side of the theater as Pape

took care of the artistic aspects of its upcoming productions. She had barely a month to get her bearings before the pandemic brought things to an abrupt halt and left the theater with a crushing $410,000 deficit. But by turning to the Charlottesville community, Live Arts was able to make up nearly the entirety of its losses purely through donations. “They said, ‘We want to make sure Live Arts makes it through this,’” says Hunter. “They knew very well this was about the life and death of the organization. They said, ‘You need to survive. This community can’t live without you.’” As support poured in from alumni everywhere, Pape and Hunter began to realize that they had been presented with a unique opportunity. Although they couldn’t hold a physical season, they could curate a digital one accessible to all. “We’ve had audiences literally across the world for this,” Pape says. “We’ve had audiences in Australia and Israel and Ireland and Chile and China.” And so the 2020-21 season was born. While still embracing Live Arts’ pay-what-you-can policy, the fully digital fall lineup exponentially expands its potential audience. It focuses on promoting the Charlottesville arts scene with Friday studio visits and open mics with local artists, short plays by local playwrights, and a show entitled Lost Home, Win Home about what it felt like to live through the violence of the 2017 Unite the Right rally. The fall’s full-length digital show will be Marat/Sade, a 1963 play by Peter Weiss. Like Lost Home, Win Home, it resonates deeply with current events. “The question inherent in the script is, ‘What is the best way to affect change in your world?’” Pape says. “Is it to change one’s self, or is it to change one’s circumstances and exterior conditions and society at large? And so it feels very topical.” Open casting for Marat/Sade tied into a core part of Hunter’s mission as new executive

ll art is political, but printmaking can take it to another level. We only need to consider the history of the Works Progress Administration, Soviet government propaganda, or even the Black Panther Party to see how print pieces can be immersed in ideology. Literally using knives to cut through the public conversation, printmakers are able to work quickly to respond to a rapidly changing environment. For the sake of impact, prints can be reproduced for mass consumption, until they lack any real monetary value. Some artists, like Kathë Kollwitz, refused to number their prints at all. Of course, there are always rebels who operate outside of ideology and tradition, and Maryanna Williams is one of them. And though all art may be political, the politics of Williams’ art is based in quiet reverence and respect for the process of creation. “Seeing Through the Layers: Reduction Linoleum Prints by Maryanna Williams,” currently on display at the Staunton Augusta Art Center and available for viewing online, is a tribute to all artists who aren’t necessarily tearing down systems with their work, but creating entire universes through the painstaking details of their art. Williams’ work consists of large-scale, color prints of antique vessels and robes, mainly from Renaissance Europe. Patterns and colors are clearly her main area of interest, and no detail is overlooked. Some cuts are as thin as pencil marks. In actuality, the vases that her works are based on are only a few inches tall.

“Sometimes I think, ‘Boy, you know, this thing was probably made, I don’t know, in the 1600s?’” says Williams, “And they never could’ve imagined somebody in the 21st century using it to create a new piece of art.” This conversation with artisans from 400 years ago is one of the “political” parts of Williams’ work. Vases and vestments that could be written off as decorative become icons. She pays homage to the original object and its creator by making them arguably much grander than they ever were in real life. And her dedication to recreating meticulous details mirrors the work that these artists did centuries ago. Williams uses a technique called reduction linocut printmaking. It brings to mind Japanese-style woodblock printing, with translucent inks, multiple colors, exquisite patterns, and floral motifs. “The title of the show, ‘Seeing Through the Layers,’ speaks to my reduction linocut process, a layering of translucent inks where the final color is atop all of the previously printed colors,” says Williams. “The technique imposes a valuable looseness to my approach to making art, keeping me engaged in the creative process throughout the execution of the print.” Every different color seen in her work is a slightly altered version of the same block,

Williams is highlighting the hidden sexuality of items in the domestic space, especially when she selects vases that have flowers practically exploding off of them.

Pastures of plenty Retired racehorses find a home at Montpelier By Laura Drummond

sound means that even if the horses are injured to the point that they cannot be ridden, they are still healthy enough to take care of themselves day-to-day. In addition to the approximately 2,600 acres that make up Montpelier’s grounds, the VTP is responsible for the 150 acres where the horses reside, including the barns, some of which are more than 100 years old. Fences must be mended, farm equipment has to be maintained, and the fields always need mowing. It’s truly a labor of love for the small crew that makes it their daily work. While the VTP is a new organization, the staff and board members have been involved in the care of thoroughbreds for the past 16 years. Until recently, they worked under the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, a national agency based in New York. When the lease between Montpelier and TRF was close to expiring, and the horses would have to be moved, the local board members worked with Montpelier and a private contributor to transition to an independent organization. This ensures that the horses, some of whom are more than 20 years old, remain on the estate’s grounds. “These horses have been here for years,” says Hart. “To move these old guys is very

with a little bit more carved away. Once she decides to move onto the next layer, she can’t go back. So unlike political propaganda, the number of final prints is extremely limited, usually no more than 10 prints of any given image are made. Williams calls it an “unforgiving process,” but one that affords her surprises along the way that are both “challenging and delightful.” Usually, a series of prints of the same image will take her about six to eight weeks of solid work, five hours a day. Even the most anti-capitalist printmaker would have a hard time arguing that Williams’ work should belong to the people at little to no charge. Observing the work on the wall in her studio, Williams points out another political dimension, though this one less intentional: There is an innate sensuality to her work. All lined up, the vessels take on a feminine and figurative quality. This is noteworthy when we consider that most of the original objects her pieces are based on were likely created or worn by men. Williams is highlighting the hidden sexuality of items in the domestic space, especially when she selects vases that have flowers practically exploding off of them. “It’s not like I think, ‘Oh I want to do something that has that content of holding,’ but I think what I do does have that unconscious thing: the robe envelopes, the vessels hold things.” Through the many hours she puts into her work, Williams is inverting the quick and dirty reputation that printmaking can have. She is showing us that there is something political in the process itself, completely separate from the content. And the intentional and unintentional consequences of it not only imbue the viewer with a new appreciation for the medium, but also an appreciation for the tiny vessels that many of us would pass by without a second glance. Williams still gets excited when she comes across one of her Renaissance objects in real life. She delightfully recalls spotting the original green vase behind “Vessel Number 6” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. “My work is not about realism or scientific illustration, but about transforming subjects from nature and art into images that express my deep passion for the intense beauty that I see in the world.”

ucked away on James Madison’s picturesque Montpelier, there is a community of award-winning retired athletes living out their days together in relative harmony. When I met these athletes, there was no crowd of admirers. And on a hot, sunny day, even the athletes themselves were out of sight, save for the oldest, who relaxes alone in front of a box fan. While a life of quiet seclusion might be to their liking, their caretakers would prefer more respect and recognition for these prized athletes. They want people to look after them and help ensure a comfortable future till the end of their days. That’s why they created the Virginia Thoroughbred Project, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to the care of thoroughbreds retired from the sport of horse racing. While many human athletes maintain celebrity status even after their days on the court or field are over, thoroughbreds are rarely acknowledged, despite years of hard work. Most owners want their retirees to be cared for, but many don’t have the means to provide that care. Others are less concerned, sometimes having them slaughtered. VTP’s mission is to provide excellent aftercare to as many racehorses as it can, in recognition of the time and effort the animals devoted to their sport. Currently, that means caring for 41 senior thoroughbreds. The dayto-day responsibility falls mainly on the shoulders of Crystal Wever, the VTP’s farm manager, with the help of a weekend farm manager and a groundskeeper. Wever’s commitment and respect for the horses is clear. “They all deserve dignified retirements,” she says. The horses are checked over twice each day, with particular attention paid to their hooves and eyes—that’s 164 hooves and 82 eyes. Paying this level of attention has led Wever to recognize the idiosyncrasies of each horse. Some of them have cliques and competitive streaks. They fight over snacks and have crushes. “It’s like high school,” she says. Even so, “for the most part, they all get along. Everyone here is pretty personable.” Sue Hart, chair of the VTP board of directors, notes that “thoroughbreds are sensitive to people”; they are attuned to human emotion. Keeping horses healthy doesn’t come cheap. It costs an average of $5,000 to take care of one horse per year—a total of about $205,000. “And that’s nothing fancy,” says Hart, “It’s basic farrier and vet care, being checked twice a day, making sure that they are healthy and pasture sound.” Pasture

traumatic. That was one of our main concerns.” The Virginia Thoroughbred Project became incorporated and financially independent from the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation in the winter of 2019. Hart emphasizes the important role that Montpelier played in this transition: “Montpelier has been really helpful to us. It’s been a better thing for all involved.” As the VTP looks toward the future, it hopes to add new horses to the herd in 2021. “A small number of thoroughbreds that are bred for racing are successful, so that leaves a lot that are just ordinary horses,” says Hart. “Some can be rehabbed to do other things like show jumping, dressage, and trail riding.” Most of the horses in VTP’s care cannot be rehabbed. “These are unwanted animals,” she adds. With many racetracks closing this spring due to COVID-19, and owners who may no longer have the resources to maintain their thoroughbreds, there is the possibility that even more horses will need care. For now, tours of the farm are permitted by appointment only. Once it is safe, VTP plans to open its doors to the community and hold future events, sharing its love of horses with everyone.

Ever seen what your real estate agent takes from you?

1% Commission. Full Service Real Estate. What separates Jordan from others: - Born and raised in Cville - Over $18M in annual sales - Ranked in top 20 out of over 1,000 realtors

Full Service real eState. 1% commiSSion Equity Saver USA is a full service real estate For more information: www.EquitySaverUSA.com brokerage company charging a 1% commission An Old Dominion Realty & Investment LLC company for its services to buyers and sellers of real estate. The concept was developed while Jordan Hague worked at Dell, Inc., where he learned to identify and distribute commodity products and services more efficiently and effectively to the market at lower prices.

- Owner and Broker What recent clients say:

Testimonial: Equity Saver USA is the best! Jordan’s (and his team’s) down to earth professionalism and practical advice are a refreshing change for the real estate industry. The competency demonstrated by Jordan far surpasses that of other agents we dealt with during our journey to sell. I wholeheartedly recommend Equity Saver USA for the selling or buying process. — Peter S. Testimonial: As smoothly and professionally as the process was handled by Jordan (from listing presentation, marketing, showings and negotiations to close), where Equity Saver USA really stands out, is its value with a 1% business model. The money we saved allowed us to put a larger down payment on our next home (which Jordan also negotiated flawlessly) allowing us to reduce our monthly mortgage payment below what we were paying on our last home. A truly incredible outcome and excellent service from start to finish. — Mark and Connie P.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Self-love is also remembering to let others love you. Come out of hiding.” Poet Irisa Yardenah wrote that advice, and now I’m passing it on to you, just in time for a phase when you will benefit from it most. I mean, it’s always good counsel for you to Virgos to heed. But it will be especially crucial in the coming weeks, when you’ll have extra potential to bloom in response to love. And one of the best ways to ensure this extra potential is fulfilled is to make yourself thoroughly available to be appreciated, understood, and cared for.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran poet Wallace Stevens wrote that if you want to be original, you must “have the courage to be an amateur.” I agree! And that’s an important theme for you right now, since you’re entering a phase when your original ideas will be crucial to your growth. So listen up, Libra: If you want to stimulate your creativity to the max, adopt the fresh-eyed attitude of a rookie or a novice. Forget what you think you know about everything. Make yourself as innocently curious and eager as possible. Your imaginative insights and innovations will flow in abundance to the degree that you free yourself from the obligation to be serious and sober and professional. And keep in mind that Stevens said you need courage to act this way.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): “As idiotic as optimism can sometimes seem, it has a weird habit of paying off,” writes author Michael Lewis. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will provide you with ample evidence that proves his hypothesis—on one condition, that is: You will have to cultivate and express a thoughtful kind of optimism. Is that possible? Do you have the audacity to maintain intelligent buoyancy and discerning positivity, even in the face of those who might try to gaslight you into feeling stupid for being buoyant and positive? I think you do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Rebecca Solnit writes, “The things we want are transformative, and we don’t know or only think we know what is on the other side of that transformation.” Her statement is especially apropos for you right now. The experiences you’re yearning for will indeed change you significantly if you get them— even though those changes will be different from what your conscious mind thinks they’ll be. But don’t worry. Your higher self—the eternal part of you that knows just what you need—is fully aware of the beneficial transformations that will come your way when you get what you yearn for.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): At age 22, future pioneer of science Isaac Newton got his college degree just as the Great Plague peaked in

1665. As a safety precaution, he proceeded to quarantine himself for many months. During that time of being sealed away, he made spectacular discoveries about optics, gravity, and calculus—in dramatic contrast to his years as a student, when his work had been relatively undistinguished. I’m not predicting that your experience of the 2020 pandemic will prove to be as fruitful as those of your fellow Capricorn, Isaac Newton. But of all the signs in the zodiac, I do think your output could be most Newton-like. And the coming weeks will be a good time for you to redouble your efforts to generate redemption amidst the chaos.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The rapper named Viper has released over 1,000 albums. In 2014 alone, he created 347. His most popular work is You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack, which has received over three million views on YouTube. According to The Chicago Reader, one of Viper’s most appealing features is his “blatant disregard for grammar.” I should also mention that he regards himself as the second Christ, and uses the nickname Black Jesus. So what does any of this have to do with you? Well, I’m recommending that you be as prolific, in your own field, as he is in his. I’m also inviting you to experiment with having a fun-loving disregard for grammar and other non-critical rules. And I would love to see you temporarily adopt some of his over-the-top braggadocio.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you don’t ask the right question, every answer seems wrong,” says singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco. I suspect you may have experienced a version of that predicament in recent weeks, Pisces. That’s the bad news. The good news is that I expect you will finally formulate the right questions very soon. They will most likely be quite different from the wrong and irrelevant questions you’ve been posing. In fact, the best way to find the revelatory questions will be to renounce and dismiss all the questions you have been asking up until now.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries author Kareem Abdul-Jabbar writes, “Some stuff can be fixed, some stuff can’t be. Deciding which is which is part of maturing.” I offer this meditation as your assignment in the coming weeks, Aries. You are in a phase when you’ll be wise to make various corrections

Q&A and adjustments. But you should keep in mind that you don’t have unlimited time and energy to do so. And that’s okay, because some glitches can’t be repaired and others aren’t fully worthy of your passionate intensity. You really should choose to focus on the few specific acts of mending and healing that will serve you best in the long run.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): “There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice,” wrote author F. Scott Fitzgerald. This is true even between the same two people in an intimate alliance with each other. The love that you and your spouse or friend or close relative or collaborator exchanged a month ago isn’t the same as it is now. It can’t be identical, because then it wouldn’t be vibrant, robust love, which needs to ceaselessly transform in order to be vibrant and robust. This is always true, of course, but will be an especially potent meditation for you during the next four weeks.

Are you going to vote by mail? Based on a few of the responses we received to this question, there’s some confusion about how, when, and where to vote. Take a look at page 9 for accurate information.

Voting early in person this year! @LIZ__HORTON/INSTAGRAM

No. I actually have volunteered to work at the polls so the older people don’t have to this year. @KABGRAHAM/INSTAGRAM

Gemini (May 21-June 20): As a professional writer, novelist Thomas Wolfe trained himself to have keen perceptions that enabled him to penetrate below surface appearances. And yet he wrote, “I have to see a thing a thousand times before I see it once.” In other words, it was hard even for him, a highly trained observer, to get a deep and accurate read of what was going on. It required a long time and many attempts—and rarely occurred for him on the first look. Even if you’re not a writer, Gemini, I recommend his approach for you in the coming weeks. You will attune yourself to current cosmic rhythms—and thus be more likely to receive their full help and blessings—if you deepen and refine the way you use your senses.

I requested a ballot. Will take it personally to the registrar.

No. I’m going to vote in person. I don’t trust that a mail-in ballot will actually get there and get counted. Too much effort being taken to sabotage this election and too much at stake to chance it! BRENDA BROWNING/FACEBOOK

LEENA ROSE MILLER/FACEBOOK

Already requested a mail-in ballot but I will be driving it to the registrar’s office.

YES! I requested my vote-by-mail application form by phone—filled it out and returned it by email. My county registrar confirmed receipt and said that ballots will be mailed out the middle of September.

(July 23-Aug. 22): “To be successful, the first thing to do is fall in love with your work,” says author Sister Mary Lauretta. Have you been making progress in accomplishing that goal, Leo? According to my astrological analysis, fate has been offering and will continue to offer you the chance to either find work that you’ll love better than the work you’re doing, or else discover how to feel more love and excitement for your existing work. Why not intensify your efforts to cooperate with fate?

Nope. I’m going to march down there, take a chair for my 84-yearold mother-in-law, stand 6 feet from the person in front of me, and make slow progress toward the poll. And after I vote, I’m going to go home and cry. How did this all get so uffed up?

No, I’m not taking any chances and therefore voting in person.

(June 21-July 22): It’s sometimes tempting for you to seek stability and safety by remaining just the way you are. When life pushes you to jump in and enjoy its wild ride, you may imagine it’s wise to refrain—to retreat to your sanctuary and cultivate the strength that comes from being staunch and steadfast and solid. Sometimes that approach does indeed work for you. I’m not implying it’s wrong or bad. But in the coming weeks, I think your strategy should be different. The advice I’ll offer you comes from Cancerian author and aviator Anne Morrow Lindbergh: “Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.”

The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) and Community Climate Collaborative (C3) are teaming up to launch a fuel-switching pilot program to benefit low-income households in Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville. The pilot aims to understand the advantages of converting households using fuel oil, propane, and natural gas for their heating needs to electricity as the primary “fuel” source. The nonprofits anticipate that fuel switching paired with energy-efficiency measures will lower household energy costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. LEAP’s Executive Director, Chris Meyer, said of the new pilot, “This is exciting and cutting-edge work, and we are happy to team up with the Community Climate Collaborative in order to bring this to the community.” The pilot is specifically looking to help low-income households who are likely to be energy burdened and have health-related situations that could be improved by a change in fuel type. C3’s recent Uncovering Energy Inequity report found that one in four Charlottesville households experience unsustainable energy costs. “Too many area households are burdened by high energy costs,” said Susan Kruse, Executive Director for C3. “These residents are more susceptible to heatrelated and air quality health impacts and don’t have the ability to mitigate those impacts with energy-efficiency improvements. Fuel switching is a tool that we want to explore for our community.” The benefits of switching fuel sources for space and water heating in homes has become clearer in recent years. New scientific reports on the health impacts of fossil fuel burning in homes show significantly poorer indoor air quality that can exacerbate existing health problems. LEAP will be working with local subcontractors to manage heating equipment changes while also adding additional insulation to make homes as efficient as possible. C3 will assist in tracking the results of the project and educating local contractors and policy-

makers about this work. The need for local contractor expertise to assist local residents in fuel switching is expected to grow exponentially as new local and state climate policies are implemented. “LEAP works with many contractors in the community, and we hope to see all of them learn from this pilot so that they can have a leg up once new state and local funding opportunities present themselves,” added Meyer. If you know of a friend, family member, or neighbor currently using propane or fuel oil to heat their home who might be interested in the pilot, please have them contact LEAP at 434.227.4666 or info@leap-va.org. About C3 The Community Climate Collaborative aims to bring communities together to lead on climate. C3 works closely with citizens, businesses, and local governments to develop climate action plans to accelerate climate action with our residential Home Energy Challenge and the Better Business Challenge, delivering climate solutions that are practical, tangible, and quantifiable.

GREENE COUNTY: Come Build a Life You Love BY CARLA HUCKABEE

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

ush green valleys, unspoiled natural beauty, mountains, hills, and farms. The resemblance is so dramatic that if you blindfold and spin Alun Ward around, he won’t know if he is back in Wales or here in Greene County. Ward set up shop in Ruckersville 35 years ago and later purchased the Golden Horseshoe Inn just outside Shenandoah National Park (SNP) because the area reminds him of his rural life in Wales. Since then, he and his wife have crafted a life fitting their talents and surroundings, combining art and wedding hosting. As Master Potter and Justice of the Peace, Ward handles the pottery production, creating functional and highly decorative food-safe stoneware. When not at the kiln, bench, or wheel, Ward officiates weddings his wife and daughter coordinate at the former 1827 stagecoach inn. They host 80-100 weddings and receptions in a typical year, as couples seek out unique and beautiful venues. Besides natural beauty and rural living, anyone who cherishes local history and heritage will find plenty to love about Greene County. Outdoor enthusiasts of all shapes and sizes can find their passion

here. Arts lovers and foodies too will feel right at home.

Entrepreneurs Welcome Carved out of Orange County in 1838, Greene County was named after Revolutionary War hero Nathaniel Greene, second in command to George Washington. Even spelled without the final “e,” Greene is still aptly named with tremendous views, natural beauty and an entrance to Shenandoah National Park. All of this attracts entrepreneurs that cater to the outdoors or event niches.

Unique lodgings like Lydia Mountain Lodge and Log Cabins, guided horseback tours at Fairfield Farm, wineries and breweries, food and catering companies and wedding and event venues abound. That’s what brought Eric Bein to Greene County. He moved from Florida to just over the border in Madison County to establish a grass-based rotational farm in 2015 and jumped at the chance to open a Ruckersville restaurant a year later. Greene’s natural beauty wasn’t the only draw. He loves the rural atmosphere and entrepreneurial mix. “Everyone was

doing something and doing it well. You can tell people care by the way they take care of their property and handle their businesses.” In 2016, Bein opened Jack’s Shop Kitchen to share the bounty of his farm. Only 15 minutes from Charlottesville, locals and visitors enthusiastically support the restaurant and it recently expanded to include dinner, along with breakfast and lunch.

Local History Stanardsville, incorporated in 1794, is the county seat and remains the only official town in the county. The entire town is a State and National Historic District and served as a stagecoach stop on the way to the Shenandoah Valley, with most of its buildings constructed before 1900. A self-guided walking tour of the town, complete with its own cell phone app, begins at the historic Greek Revival style Courthouse. Park your car and stroll along as you learn about 30 historic buildings and the town’s role in history, including the Stanardsville Engagement during the Civil War. After working up an appetite on your walk, take in the grandeur and sample the menu at The Lafayette Inn and Restaurant, built in 1840. Now an inn, fine restaurant and event space, it served as a boarding house and hospital during the Civil War. Designed in Federalist style with three levels and colonnaded porches, it boasts hand-hewn mortise and tenon beams with fifteen-inch-thick walls of local red brick. But history isn’t the only reason to visit. The Lafayette Inn has been named

in several “best of” and Diner’s Choice awards and is the first restaurant in the area to be recognized for “green” practices under the Virginia Green program.

Bicyclists can choose between mountain biking trails or mapped road routes in Greene County. The 14-mile and strenuous Bacon Hollow Trail climbs paved and gravel roads. Road routes range from easy to strenuous, and eight to nearly 80 miles. For a pleasant warm-up, pedal the South River loop. Ratchet up the effort for the 40-mile Ruckersville loop and go all in for the various Swift Run Gap and Skyline Drive loops. Hikers can explore 500 miles of trails in Shenandoah National Park. Within county limits, the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club maintains several trails that range from easy walks to longer, more strenuous climbs. The Greene County Community Park in Ruckersville also offers walking trails, along with a playground, soccer fields, and disc golf.

Blue Ridge Heritage There’s no getting away from the influence of Shenandoah National Park. One of only four entrances to SNP and Skyline Drive is at the Swift Run Gap Entrance Station on the western border of the county. SNP was established in 1935 after Virginia used eminent domain to force land donation to the federal government for the park. More than 500 families and individuals were displaced to piece together the park, 179 of them from Greene County. The Blue Ridge Heritage Project acknowledges their sacrifice and honors the people that were displaced. Stone chimneys remain throughout the park marking many of those homes. A replica chimney monument in Stanardsville memorializes the displaced Greene County families and their lives and culture before giving up their homes and land. The monument is located next to the Greene County Administration building, at the corner of Main Street and Celt Road.

Rural Life

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Arts and Antiques Another bit of local heritage is Greene County’s Blue Ridge Barn Quilt Trail, which is the largest of its kind in Virginia. There are more than 125 barn quilt samplers at over 90 sites throughout the county. Join the adventure and follow the trail map to find each quilt on barns, sheds, houses, fences, porches, mailboxes, and in gardens; all the while enjoying the picturesque countryside. The Virginia Clay Festival is a popular annual art show in Stanardsville, though cancelled this year due to the pandemic. Mark your calendars now to enjoy next year’s showing of Virginia potters, sculptors, and jewelers on September 18 and 19, 2021. Hands-on clay projects for kids, artisan food vendors, and live acoustic music make the atmosphere truly festive, while participating artists demonstrate their techniques with potter’s wheels and work benches. Visitors mingle and mix with the visiting artists from across the Commonwealth and local potters from Noon Whistle Pottery and Blue Ridge Pottery. But don’t wait until 2021 to get your pottery fix. Blue Ridge Pottery and Noon Whistle Pottery, both outside of Stanardsville, continue to delight shoppers with their unique collections of handcrafted treasures. Other local arts attractions include the Skylight Farm Studio, open by appointment only. Watercolor artist and teacher Chee Kludt Ricketts presents workshops in Central Virginia. Her work is shown in juried exhibitions throughout the country. Randall Frey 18th Century Furniture Reproductions in Stanardsville crafts quality period furniture with the same techniques used in the 18th century to create Queen Anne, Chippendale, and Hepplewhite pieces. Each is custom made to the buyer’s specifications with hand dove-tailed drawers, antique glass, and the finest reproduction brass fittings.

Don’t feel left out if you’re an “antiquer.” The Ruckersville Antique District has more than 75,000 square feet of antiques, fine arts, and collectibles. Whether you want period furniture, rare books, tools or vintage glassware, you won’t be disappointed. Stop by the new Visitor Center at 9157 Seminole Trail. Michele Wallace will make sure you have a guide or map in hand to whatever interests you, and will dish out the inside scoop on all things Greene County.

The Great Outdoors Fishing vest or biking shorts? Golf spikes or hiking boots? No matter how you’re dressed for outdoor recreation, you’ll always be in style in Greene County. Golfing options range from miniature golf to country club level. Highlands Golf Park in Ruckersville is a unique

venue that includes Pirate Pete’s Mini Golf, a pro-shop, and one of the area’s most versatile practice and learning facilities. The range gives beginners and experts the chance to start from scratch or work on any shot they can imagine. Greene Hills Club in Stanardsville is a semi-private 18-hole golf club with a pro-shop, driving range, and putting green. Complete with pool, tennis courts, and The Hills Grille restaurant, the golf course opens to the public on weekdays. Anglers enjoy trout fishing in streams coursing down the Blue Ridge. The Conway River and its main tributary, Devil’s Ditch, have special regulations that do not permit bait. In addition to trout fishing, access to the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area adjoining Shenandoah National Park offers hunting, trapping, primitive camping, hiking, birding, and horseback riding.

One of the gems of Greene County is the South River Valley. The South River starts atop the Blue Ridge, cascading over an 83-foot fall. After leaving SNP, it meanders eastward to the Rapidan River. With 300 acres of rolling fields and mountain views, Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals and High Fields Farm overlooks the South River Valley. Equestrians and their horses are welcome. The Preserve at South River is a 275acre licensed game preserve. Honored in 2019 with the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District’s Wildlife Habitat Award, Owners Jimmy and Sally Hazel found their antidote to the hectic lifestyle of Northern Virginia and began work on this vision nearly 20 years ago. Hazel planted and maintains the cover for game birds and habitat management and holds driven game bird shoots for hunters. Even without a horse, fishing rod, or hunting license, the South River Valley is enticing people with its natural splendor. Matthew Woodson, REALTOR® with Roy Wheeler Realty – Greene, claims the South River Valley is one of the most beautiful in Virginia. He encourages buyers seeking splendid views and elbow room to consider one of Octonia Highlands 22 lots available in the Valley. Room to spread out is a consistent draw to much of Greene County, heightened by the pandemic. But on the southern end of the county along U.S. 29, more compact developments and apartments take advantage of proximity to Albemarle County and Charlottesville job markets, with a more affordable price tag. Even here, prices are going up. Prior to the pandemic, home sales were trending up. In the second quarter, the median sales price was up 16 percent from the same quarter last year, a gain of $41,500. This was the largest median price increase in the county in over three years. Greene County is a highly desirable location where people can build a life they love, in a home they love; just like Ward, Bein, and Hazel did. After 35 years, what Ward really cherishes is the sense of community. “Not only do we live amongst incredible beauty, but people still care about each other here. These days, that can be hard to find, so once you do find it, you don’t want to let go.” Carla Huckabee writes about health and high performing real estate.
