10.14.20

This week, I spent some time standing beneath a handful of Charlottesville’s landmark trees (p. 12). I stared into the tangled branches far above, mesmerized. I felt the rough bark, different on every tree—each of the trees is old and noble, but all are full of their own personality. A few leaves here and there have just begun to turn yellow, and the foliage will only become more spectacular as the fall wears on.

I was amazed at the beauty of the trees, but also at my own ignorance of their presence. These are public trees on public land; I’ve walked past them a thousand times and never given them more than a passing thought. When I sought them out, when I made them my destination, they took on an entirely new and entirely wonderful shape.

Our feature package this week takes a look at Charlottesville’s urban forest.

In addition to a rundown of landmark trees, we’ve got a story that examines how tree cover relates to equity in the city (p. 16) and another that highlights local efforts to combat dangerous invasive species (p. 17). There’s also an essay that takes the long view, a soothing antidote to the unrelenting bad news that’s been battering us since the pandemic began (p. 15).

Reporters get to meet lots of people. One of the fun parts of my job is bumping into people who I’ve met while researching a story. These days, that doesn’t happen nearly as much, as no one’s out and about to bump into. Meeting these trees, though, was not a bad alternative. And if I want to bump into them later on, I know exactly where they’ll be.—Ben Hitchcock

NEWS IN BRIEF

Tiger trouble Doc Antle, the sinister zoo owner famous for his role in Netflix’s viral “Tiger King” documentary, could wind up wearing orange himself—he’s been indicted on wildlife trafficking charges by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. Antle lived in Buckingham County in the early part of his career; the indictment alleges that he has recently worked with a private zoo in Winchester to move tiger cubs and other exotic species back and forth between Virginia and Myrtle Beach.

Pipeline pushback

Back to school

I

n June, environmental activists celebrated as Dominion Energy canceled the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which would have carried natural gas from West Virginia to North Carolina, passing through central Virginia. A little further west, however, the fight continues, as construction on the Mountain Valley Pipeline inches along. Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission lifted a stop-work order that had been slowing the 300mile pipeline project.

FERC also gave the MVP two more years to finish construction of the project, which has been grinding forward for six years, slowed by resistance from landowners and litigation from environmental groups.

The watch team for the Protect Our Water, Heritage, Rights coalition, an umbrella organization made up of smaller groups pushing back against the pipeline, has carefully monitored the pipeline’s construction,

looking out for violations that can be reported to the Department of Environmental Quality. It continues to find new violations (the photos above were taken at various points over the last two years).

“These ground photos of the construction are significant to me,” says Rebecca Bondurant, POWHR’s co-chair. “We’ve got pipe that floated 1,000 feet across a floodplain when they built the week before storm Michael. Pipe that’s dated 2016 that’s out now, on the ground, [with] coating that’s over 4 years old.”

Bondurant points out that last week’s permit is not definitive. A key permit from the Forest Service is still missing, and other important permits are currently under consideration by the federal court in Richmond.

The MVP group continues to cut corners in order to continue construction, the activists say. “It’s a real word game they play with FERC to allow themselves to go forward,” Bondurant says.

As Charlottesville continues to grapple with its legacy of slavery and oppression, a group of nearly 100 local activists, community leaders, and residents have called for the creation of an enslavement museum in Court Square, “depicting in a more visual manner the injustices, horrors, and truths about enslavement.” They hope the city will acquire the 0 Park Street building, the site of the auction block where enslaved people were sold, to house the museum.

In February, Richard Allen, a 74-year-old white man, removed and disposed of the slave auction block marker (pictured below).

He is now a member of the coalition calling for the museum.

ery little at UVA resembles normal academic life these days. Many students are taking their classes entirely online, and those who returned to Grounds wear masks outdoors and are not allowed to congregate in groups of more than five people. Recruiting events for clubs and Greek life are held via Zoom.

Last spring, when COVID-19 forced all classes to go online, the university adjusted its grading system, giving students the option of taking their courses “credit/no credit.”

(CR/NC is different from traditional pass/ fail because classes for which credit is earned can qualify toward major requirements.)

Heading into the fall, however, the traditional A-F system returned.

That policy prompted students like Abel Liu and Ellen Yates, the Student Council president, to campaign for a return to the CR/NC grading system, which they say is beneficial for student mental health, especially those with higher barriers to education.

Last week, the university administration acceded to the organizers’ demands, announcing that the semester would be graded on a credit/no credit scale. Student activists

are hailing the move as a significant victory for activism at UVA. Student Council began by circulating a survey to gauge interest in the proposed new system. Two thousand five hundred people responded, with an overwhelming number favoring the CR/NC option.

Generational ties UVA first-gen students pass down lessons learned

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

COURTESY SUBJECT

W

Fourth-year Savannah Page founded The College Scoop to ease the transition between high school and college for incoming first-gen UVA students.

“When I was a first year, it was difficult to put that label on yourself as first gen, low income—it just kind of makes you feel other.”

ANDJELIKA MILICIC, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE SCOOP

for two sessions with a community therapist outside of CAPS. Both Milicic and Randazzo hope The College Scoop’s advocacy will ultimately push UVA to make a greater effort to destigmatize the hardships FGLI students face.

“When I was a first year, it was difficult to put that label on yourself as first gen, low income—it just kind of makes you feel other,” says Milicic. “There can be less negative stigma [around] being FGLI just by talking about it more, and making it known that there are these resources to help you and there are other people here like you.”

UVA needs to do a better job of promoting FGLI resources to first years, “so they don’t feel like outliers...and want to transfer out,” adds Randazzo. “Feeling like you don’t fit in at your own university is just a really tragic feeling to experience.”

co-chair of leadership and development.

Randazzo says she hopes to serve as an older sibling for incoming FGLI students.

“Yes, you can ask us about the best course to take for a subject [or] the best place to eat on the Corner, but also we are a resource for help, when you’re having difficulties with XYZ.” The group is also working to expand its mentorship to high schoolers interested in applying to UVA, by reaching out to guidance counselors at local high schools.

In the near future, the group plans to offer other types of services specifically tailored to FGLI students. It is currently applying for over $100,000 in grant funds to create a free textbook library inside Newcomb Hall. Textbooks can be brutally expensive, and the group hopes to ease that burden.

“We’re hoping to be able to purchase anywhere from around 300 to 400 books for students…[mainly] for first-year classes” says Page. “The goal is to have the university incorporate it into their services, and keep it going that way. And negotiate with the bookstore to get a good discount.”

Page says they should be able to purchase at least 20 to 50 textbooks by the spring.

The grant would also go toward expanding accommodation services for low-income students with disabilities, as well as the Next Steps Fund at Student Health, which pays

hen Andjelika Milicic began looking at colleges, she felt like a lab rat. Her parents, originally from Serbia and Bosnia, did not go to college, and she was the oldest of her siblings, leaving her with no one to guide her through the application process.

“I did not know what I was doing whatsoever,” says Milicic, who is from Milwaukee.

“I watched YouTube videos on how to do everything...All the [help] I had from my guidance counselor was very general.”

Milicic’s struggles as a first-generation, low-income student continued well into her first year at the University of Virginia, and beyond. She not only had to adjust to a new environment, but she had to figure out how to navigate the different facets of college, from courses to internships.

“I didn’t really have a set schedule for everything. I had to figure it out as I went, whereas other people knew what they needed to [do]...based off of what experiences their parents or siblings have had,” she says. “It was difficult to find the right people to contact for all my questions.”

So when Milicic, now a fourth-year, first learned about The College Scoop, she knew she wanted to get involved.

The College Scoop is a new student-led initiative—founded this March—that offers mentorship and resources to FGLI students during the transition from high school to college.

Throughout the spring semester, the group connected with more than 200 admitted students over social media, leading around 150 of them to enroll at UVA. “We wanted to provide them with a sense of understanding about what the UVA community is like—without having to come here and visit,” says founder and president Savannah Page, now a fourth-year.

To reach more of the FGLI community, the group has begun building partnerships with the university administration, as well as student groups like the First Generation/ Low Income Partnership and Rise Together.

“We want to provide a place for these students to come to with all of their questions,” says Milicic, vice president of the group. “All of the partnerships we’re forming will help create a strong resource for these students, so we can connect them with people who may specialize in whatever question they have.”

When third-year Alessia Randazzo arrived at UVA, she also felt very lost and out of place—until she found a mentor. Now she hopes to prevent other FGLI students from going through the same struggles she did.

“It was definitely a challenge, just in that I felt like I didn’t belong here. How can I compete with all of these people who have had this help and support from the very start?” says Randazzo, who is also the group’s

nize how impactful it is to be alone in a room for potentially eight hours.”

For lower-income students, the burden has been even heavier. Liu and Yates collected 14 pages of student testimonials in support of a CR/NC option. Many of the testimonials come from low-income students who are struggling to achieve good grades and juggle other responsibilities.

“I am a fourth-year full-time architecture student who has to work to pay my bills. I had three jobs in the spring semester and was laid off of all three due to the pandemic,” wrote one student.

“Keeping up enough money to pay bills while maintaining a full course load (as my scholarships all require) is incredibly difficult...I was considering dropping out,” wrote another.

The testimony goes on: “I used to be an attentive student but with online school it is asking the impossible.”

“I am currently in a mental health crisis and have struggled to actively participate in class over Zoom.”

“I live with younger siblings and an autistic brother, the combination of the two makes my studying extremely difficult.”

Keeping the traditional grading system, however, is important to the university and some students: UVA often touts grades and related metrics to lure prospective students and maintain its status as an elite academic institution. And a high GPA is also fundamental to those whose grades are major selling points in graduate school applications.

Yates thinks these counterpoints aren’t a concern (under the new system, students can still opt to receive grades), and she urges the university to be more empathetic toward its students.

“We have a lot of vulnerable people in our community right now who need help,” Yates says. “They need the university to prioritize their well-being and their health over academic competitiveness or national academics.”

Liu thinks the alternative grading policy is a natural extension of progress the university has already made. At the beginning of the semester, UVA announced that it would suspend the coveted Dean’s List in light of the pandemic.

“We take that as an implicit admission from UVA that normal measures of success are not valid or adequate right now,” Liu says.

On Friday, the student activists got their wish when Provost Liz Magill sent a schoolwide email announcing a CR/NC option for all students. Magill directly cites student organizing in her email, writing that the admin “decided to revisit our grading decision after many exchanges with students, student leaders, and faculty and staff who work most closely with students. They reported high levels of stress, anxiety, and personal and family challenges among large numbers of students, and all encouraged both the deans and me to consider flexible grading options this semester.”

Students have until November 6 to opt in to the alternative grading system.

“The fact that we had changed their minds is, in my opinion, a sign that student self governance is fundamentally about the collective bargaining power of students,” Liu says.“That’s really what it boils down to.”

“The Charlottesville area has a wonderful diversity of trees, and a climate that allows them to grow into old age,” says Robin Hanes, who heads up the Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards’ Notable Trees Project.

“We have some fine specimens right where everybody drives or walks.”

Below is the American elm located outside the courthouse, the first of the Tree Stewards’ Landmark Trees highlighted in this feature. Some of these

landmarks are protected under the city’s Tree Conservation Ordinance—once designated, trees can’t be removed or intentionally damaged without the approval of City Council. Seven trees have been officially designated so far, and the city’s Tree Commission is in the process of nominating more.

In the meantime, building a community narrative around the trees offers a different kind of security, says Hanes: “Getting the public to notice them and

come to love them—that is the best protection a tree can get.”

In addition to spending some time beneath Charlottesville’s most notable trees, this issue looks back at the forces that have shaped our urban forest over the centuries, from ancient geological shifts, to modern city planning, to invasive species. We hope you’ll take this paper, sit under a tree, and leaf through the pages.

You’ve seen this tree in photographs before—for decades, the twisting branches have served as the backdrop for the Confederate monument that stood outside the courthouse.

Last month, the statue came down, and the elm tree quietly stepped in to fill that space. The tree’s slender trunk and winding, gravity-defying branches now welcome visitors to the courthouse, an altogether more appealing monument than old Johnny Reb. In the 20th century, Dutch elm disease killed 75 percent of America’s elms, but this one survived, and in recent years it has undergone preventative treatment against the disease.

The long season of trees

DOWNTOWN JEFFERSON-MADISON REGIONAL LIBRARY This knobbly, asymmetrical Shumard oak looks old and wise—a perfect match for its location outside the library. On one side, circular scars are visible where branches have been removed over the years. On the other side, the tree’s sturdy limbs reach horizontally for 20 or 30 feet, far enough to keep you dry while you wait at the corner of Market and Third on a rainy day.

Shumard oaks are native to the Atlantic coastal region. This tree was likely planted in the 1940s, though the exact date isn’t known.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

SHUMARD OAK

October 14 – 20, 2020 c-ville.com

y children have a library book right now that tells us trees appeared in the middle Devonian Period, over 350 million years ago. The drawings of these early specimens look strange to my eye, not as graceful as the trees out my window, but the proto-trees— Lepidosigillaria and Eospermatopteris—were doing important work. “Deeper roots and more plant matter meant that a significant amount of dirt—more correctly, soil—began to build up for the first time,” says the book.

No soil before this—and the Earth was already nine-tenths of the way through its 4.5-billion-year history! I praise trees firstly because, on a planet made of naked rock, where the vast majority of life was confined to the oceans, they made the soil. In life, their roots broke that rock down and mined its minerals; in death, their decomposing trunks provided organic matter to feed bacteria and fungi.

They became the producers of the conditions on which so many other beings depend.

I praise the trees as I weed my garden, with the trees’ new idea—soil—finding its way under my nails. In the spring, the weeds I pull sometimes include tree seedlings. Once in a while we’ll discover a baby walnut tree still attached to a split-open underground walnut, a perfect illustration of tree reproduction, and a reminder of who really owns this land. If we didn’t keep up with our mowing and weeding, the trees would quickly reclaim it.

Actually, they already have. In our 13 years here, an area we used to call “the back field” has become a forest of slender young poplars, perpetually shady in the summer. They don’t flower yet; they’re concentrating their energy on gaining height, making leaves, making sugars. When they’re a bit taller, they’ll turn their attention to producing the orange and yellow cuplike flowers that give them their other name—tulip tree.

These poplars are still kids, not yet arrived at adolescence or the necessities of reproduction.

In the front of the house, too, brash young white pines have swiftly grown to block what was once our view. They’re on the neighbor’s land, so

we can’t do anything about it; anyway, the smell of their needles when struck by the sun makes up for the vista we lost.

Still, I praise especially the tree elders that dot our land, survivors of the time when our property was logged several decades ago. Big stumps here and there tell me that some sizable specimens must have been cut. But we still have tall, mature poplars; statuesque walnuts; an enchanted grove of Osage orange where the trunks form rainbow arcs my kids love to climb. We have oaks of medium age and young Norway maple. We have redbud, black locust, and a small tree we’d never heard of until a neighbor identified it: hackberry.

I praise the hackberry’s warty bark, which I now spot in lots of places, and the little green berries it makes in the summer.

I praise all this variety and this fecundity. Even on scarred land, the trees are growing with a ferocity that gives me hope. Their crowns know how to spread and spread until they find each other, then stop. Their roots hold the soil in place. Their leaves produce oxygen and the haze that makes the Blue Ridge blue. They continue to clean the air, quietly resisting a tide of pollution.

I praise my favorite scent on earth: the pungent black walnuts we sometimes break open with rocks on our lawn, picking out the meat of the nuts with dark-stained fingers. I praise the leaves, more tender than lettuce, that we pluck from sassafras seedlings and munch on while we walk in the woods. I praise their curvaceousness: some having one lobe, some two (like a mitten), some three. I praise the way they turn red and yellow so early in the fall, or even late summer, a teaser for all the bombastic beauty to come.

I could, and do, praise the trees for providing a place for animals to live—screech owls, raccoons, squirrels, tentworms, tree frogs, hornets, ants, wood thrush, and woodpecker. But when I sit in my house, or sit on my deck, shaded by trees, it’s clear that I live in the trees, too. I sleep in a wooden bed; I eat at a wooden table. Wooden frames surround the images I’ve chosen to adorn my wooden walls.

I praise the paper, made from wood pulp, on which this library book is printed. It tells me that most of the time there’s been an Earth, the trees were not yet here. And yet compared with the trees, people are an extremely recent experiment. I praise them for sharing this place with us. I hope we will be worthy of their company.

Uncovered How racist redlining shaped our urban forest

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

CHARLOTTESVILLE TREE COMMISSION

in white, typically healthier neighborhoods. Black neighborhoods—regardless of income level—were considered “hazardous” for private and federal loans. Only white families were deemed worthy of investment, allowing them to easily attain mortgages and build generational wealth.

White homeowners could usually plant trees on their own property, or lobby their local government to fill their neighborhoods with parks and other green spaces. Black residents, largely forced into renting, had to rely on their landlords, who often had very little incentive or desire to invest in Black neighborhoods.

To make things worse, “poor communities of all colors in cities were often put where the slaughterhouses, mills, and factories were—places that were already environmentally inequitable,” says Menard.

“Now we don’t have that kind of industry in most places….[but residents] are still suffering from the effects years and years later.”

Thanks to Charlottesville’s long history of redlining, low-income neighborhoods have few to no trees, making them up to 30 degrees hotter than their highcanopy counterparts.

The solution is “way more complicated” than just planting trees, warns Tree Commission member Paul Josey. The city cannot plant trees on private property without permission, and there are lots of places where there’s little room on public land for vegetation.

Additionally, the commission—which is currently all white—does not want to continue the city’s legacy of imposing the will of white people on people of color. Instead, it’s focused on “building long-term relationships and trust” with communities, says Josey, mainly by educating residents about the dangers of too few trees, and helping those who want trees, get them for free.

SOUTHERN RED OAK VENABLE ELEMENTARY

Standing on the steps of Venable Elementary, the grand white columns of the school’s facade fill your view. Take a few steps back, maybe cross the street, and the picture changes.

From here, the splendid Southern red oak next to the school dominates the scene.

The tree’s branches float outside classroom windows, the stuff of daydreams for the elementary schoolers within. In the fall, its crisp brown leaves blanket the playground and the school’s front yard. It’s the 10th-largest Southern red oak in Virginia.

T

he trees you see around town are more than just nice to look at. On a hot day, they provide much-needed shade. When it rains, they absorb flood waters. They help filter air and absorb noise pollution, especially when planted near busy streets. And they’ve been linked to reducing stress and anxiety, among other benefits.

But thanks to decades of racist zoning laws and housing covenants, many low-income, formerly redlined neighborhoods in Charlottesville—and around the country—have little to no tree cover.

According to the Tree Commission’s latest tree canopy study, historically Black neighborhoods Starr Hill and 10th and Page have less than 20 percent tree canopy, the lowest in the city. Meanwhile, neighborhoods where racial covenants once prevented Black people from renting or buying homes—like Venable and Locust Grove—have more than 40 percent tree cover, which exceeds the commission’s goal for the city.

“We got here not accidentally, but [by] creating our cities and our policies historically,” says Brian Menard, chair of the Charlottesville Tree Commission. “With the systemic racism that disadvantaged minority communities, we created these [neighborhoods] where trees were either never part of the environment, or increasingly couldn’t be a part of [it] because there was no ability to plant them.”

With few trees to reflect the sun’s rays, the asphalt roads and concrete sidewalks in Charlottesville’s low-canopy neighborhoods absorb and radiate heat, making them up to 30 degrees hotter than their high-canopy counterparts. This is especially dangerous during the summer—heat-related illnesses kill up to 12,000 people in the U.S. per year, and climate change is only causing more intense heat waves.

Higher temperatures also make it harder to breathe, and have been linked to respiratory illnesses like asthma. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, already prevalent in the Black community, are worsened by heat, as are mental health issues.

A sparse tree canopy takes a toll on residents’ pockets as well. With fewer shady places to gather during the summer, people are more likely to stay cooped up inside and run their air conditioners—if their unit includes one—all day, which leads to high energy bills.

At the height of Jim Crow, redlining systemically kept Black people from becoming homeowners

WHITE ASH

ALBEMARLE CHARLOTTESVILLE HISTORICAL SOCIETY The crown of this magnificent ash is visible from all around the block, its powerful branches climbing almost vertically into the sky. To see the trunk, though, you have to enter the historical society’s side garden from High Street. There, you can walk up to the base of the huge tree and run your hand along its thick, grooved, moss-spotted skin.

The tree is more than a century old. Ash trees across the country have been killed in scores by the invasive emerald ash borer, but this tree has been treated for protection.

Ash disaster

Local ash trees face their own pandemic

By Carol Diggs

“If you have an ash tree and don’t get it treated, it will die.”

JAKE VAN YAHRES, VAN YAHRES TREE COMPANY

their noble shape makes them common ornamental trees, and their loss will be felt by even casual observers. One of the city’s largest ash trees stands just behind the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society building downtown. “Losing that tree would change the entire block,” says Ronayne.

DeWitt recommends homeowners check their ash trees for signs of infestation: patches of lightcolored inner bark exposed by woodpeckers seeking the tasty larvae; canopy die-back; sprouting from the tree’s base; and small, D-shaped holes in the bark where borers have eaten their way out. If you see these signs—or aren’t sure whether it’s an ash tree—hire an arborist to evaluate the damage and outline options.

Infected ash trees can be salvaged as firewood, which should be burned that season before ash borer pupae emerge again in the spring—but to prevent spreading the infestation, don’t sell the wood. Homeowners buying firewood should purchase wood from their immediate area, or make sure it’s labeled heat-treated.

Spending money to protect a tree may not seem to make financial sense, but it’s worth it, say many homeowners. “My parents’ house in Charlottesville has a huge ash tree, hanging over the entire house,” says Van Yahres. “It’s being treated, and it’s still up. If we had to take that tree down, it wouldn’t feel like home.”

fast-growing, and shapely. “After we lost elms, people planted with ash,” she says. Just ask UVA—it has hundreds of ash trees on the Lawn, Carr’s Hill, the East Range, and along Rugby and McCormick roads.

A tree can be protected by injecting insecticide around its base, but the treatment has to be administered by a certified arborist and repeated every two years. If started in time, treatment ($350-$600 per tree, depending on size) can be more cost-effective than removal. But if the tree is significantly damaged, removing it may be preferable; while living ash trees are strong and hardy, dead ones quickly become brittle and pose a danger if they are near a building, roadway, or public space.

Michael Ronayne, urban forester with the city, says Charlottesville is currently treating 37 trees that are particularly large or well-placed; in 2018, the city spent $86,000 on emerald ash borer protection. Ash trees make up roughly 2 percent of the forest mix in central Virginia, but

Thirty-seven ash trees are currently being treated in Charlottesville to protect them against the emerald ash borer.

October 14 – 20, 2020 c-ville.com

From 2018 to 2019, the commission knocked on hundreds of doors in Belmont—which had the most available planting area—and asked homeowners if they wanted a free tree in their front yard. With help from the Charlottesville Area Tree Stewards, they were able to plant around 45 trees.

“We did a similar effort to bring trees to some of the city’s public housing...Our education and advocacy in several cases led to actual trees going into the ground,” adds Menard. “We’ve already identified some low-canopy neighborhoods we want to start working with, but the pandemic has halted that for now.”

With more trees comes concern about gentrification. Adding green space—along with parks and playgrounds—to low-income neighborhoods could encourage more-affluent people to move in, increasing property values, and forcing the folks in need of the benefits of trees out because they no longer can afford to live there.

Josey says preventing gentrification requires fully addressing the socioeconomic consequences of redlining. The city must work to offer better employment opportunities and increase home ownership among Black residents, in addition to improving its zoning codes and building more affordable housing (with trees).

“The fact that there has been systemic injustice within housing needs to be righted,” he says. And “the key way to build investment within neighborhoods is through home ownership.”

In order to keep climate equity at the forefront, both Josey and Menard emphasize that a diverse array of community groups—from the Public Housing Association of Residents to the Community Climate Collective—must continue to work together to address this multi-faceted issue.

“This can’t be something that we just lead, because we are just volunteers,” says Josey. “It takes a lot of work, and a lot of stakeholders...It’s not just about putting a tree in the ground.”

s if COVID-19 weren’t enough, central Virginia is fighting another plague, only this one—the emerald ash borer—threatens our trees. The beetle may look like a tiny jewel— it’s a bright metallic green, small enough to sit on a penny— but it’s been scything down local ash trees like a malevolent Paul Bunyan.

“No ash tree is safe,” says Jake Van Yahres, coowner of Van Yahres Tree Company, which his great-grandfather founded in 1919 during another pandemic. “If you have an ash tree and don’t get it treated, it will die.”

The emerald ash borer, native to northeastern Asia, was first detected in the U.S. in Michigan in 2002, and in Albemarle County in 2017. The beetle lays its eggs in the ash’s bark in spring; when the larvae hatch, they tunnel through the bark and feed on the layer beneath all summer, effectively cutting off the tree’s nutrients. The following spring, they emerge as adults to eat leaves, mate, and lay more eggs—killing the tree in three to five years.

Katlin DeWitt, forest health specialist with the Virginia Department of Forestry, says ash is a popular landscaping and urban species because it is hardy,

As the season turns, the Downtown Mall is also seeing some turnover, starting with Champion Hospitality Group’s just-opened culinary venture, Passiflora, which offers Tex-Mex and Baja Mediterranean cuisine.

While we are still mourning the loss of Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar, it’s good to see new openings on the mall. “We put our hearts and soul into this restaurant, and we are excited to share it with Charlottesville,” says General Manager Elizabeth Hood.

Expect to find small plates for around $10, local brews, and plenty of vegetarian options. CHG hopes to finish renovations on the rooftop open-air bar in time to catch the last warm nights of the year: “You can absolutely expect to see live bands as part of the experience,” says Hood. Passiflora is open Thursday through Tuesday, and accepts reservations and walk-ins.

Nod to Nosh and hello wraps

The latest addtion to the Downtown Mall’s dining scene is Champion Hospitality Group’s Passiflora, offering a refined combo of Tex-Mex and Baja Mediterranean cuisines.

“Numerous people have asked me to open a food truck—maybe so,” she says. “If I find a commercial kitchen, perhaps I will stick to catering.”

Otto Turkish Street Food is slated to open in the space on November 1, introducing yet more authentic flavors to Charlottesville. Owners Ali Sevindi and Haldun Turgay worked at The Clifton together for five years before officially partnering up. Now, they are excited to serve fast-casual fare like döner kebabs (seasoned meat stacked in the shape of an inverted cone that cooks slowly on a rotisserie) and homemade sauces at the corner of Southwest Second and Water streets. Specializing in wraps and bowls, Otto Turkish will have two rotisseries to

choose from; one chicken and one a mix of beef and lamb.

Jughead’s a regular Dairy Market’s food-and-beverage hall is quickly filling its 18 stalls, adding two more merchants this month. Moo Thru, a favorite ice cream stop for D.C. commuters, is expanding to a fourth location in the heart of Charlottesville. The family-operated creamery behind Moo Thru will supply dairy products to market vendors, including The Milkman’s Bar, the cocktail joint from Ten Course Hospitality. Milkman’s promises to be a ’50s-inspired soda-pop shop straight out of Archie comics—but with a lot more of the hard stuff.

Another transition took place on the outer rim of the Downtown Mall—Modern Nosh closed its doors in September. Known for kosher fare and loaded sandwiches, Modern Nosh was established with a mission to give back to the community. Over two years, the restaurant donated hundreds of pounds of bread and benefited non-profit organizations like The Women’s Initiative and the Companion Animal Fund.

“We are so sad to be leaving,” says owner Stephanie Levin. “With the large number of business people not coming back to work downtown, the loss of tourists, and the lack of outside seating, we just couldn’t find a way.” Levin hopes to reinvent Modern Nosh along with its vision of supporting the community sometime next year.

I

n a year defined by wild new perspectives—on health, on risk, on human separation and connectedness— images have played a central role. Photos of people in crowds or isolation are newly fraught, and as we gather virtually, the visual appearance of other humans on-screen has become a startling, imperfect social lifeline. Sanjay Suchak’s photography show at the Crozet Artisan Depot isn’t limited to images from this year, but the way it cultivates space for alternate perspectives feels very apropos for 2020.

Take, for example, his shots of the Robert E. Lee monument in Richmond—an object that stands for so much pain and,

graffitied or not, is usually pictured from below. Indeed, it was designed to loom over the viewer, expressing white supremacy and dominance in its presentation of the Confederate general as a towering figure upheld by a permanent-seeming pedestal.

That permanence is less assured these days, even though the statue for the moment stands. Suchak’s take on the monument turns the usual perspective upside down, using a drone camera to position the viewer directly above the statue.

Not only does this offer poetic justice (now who’s being looked down at?), it reminds us that the statue is an object, not a person, and that its power derives from nothing more substantial than convention. Lee and his horse become just frozen metal, their position suddenly awkward,

Photographer Sanjay Suchak gained new perspectives in his work after adding a drone to his toolkit. His exhibition “From Richmond to the Blue Ridge: New Takes on “Familiar Landscapes” runs through October 31 at the Crozet Artisan Depot.

their antique patina belied by the lively quilt of spray-painted color that artist-protesters spontaneously created all around the statue’s base.

Suchak is UVA’s senior photographer and works independently for clients like National Geographic, but he’s exceedingly modest about his presentation of these images at the Depot. “I never really considered the fine art space,” he says. “These are just beautiful photos of the region.” True, there

Delivering on decades of experience are familiar Virginia icons here, but there’s nearly always a twist: He shows the Rotunda with lightning forking through the sky above it. (“That would be a terrible image for UVA to use,” Suchak acknowledges dryly.)

His view of the Blue Ridge Parkway is a long-exposure image of stars wheeling through the night, a hint of immense time spans and distances that dwarf the human world. And, standing in a 7-11 parking lot off I-64 near Williamsburg, he used a drone to hover above private land where a flock of decommissioned presidential busts, 15 or 20 feet tall, huddle surreally in a field.

Suchak says he got into drone photography “just to have another tool in the toolkit of being a photographer.” He realized, though, that the drone offered not only the possibility of a kind of omniscience—seeing everything—but the chance to show things from angles most people have never considered. “I try to go for simplicity: addition by subtraction,” he says. “All drone cameras are pretty much like your iPhone—very wide. You have to compose your scene simply.”

Suchak doesn’t shy away from the social struggles that have made this year such a searing one in Virginia and elsewhere; many of the images concern the rewriting and removal of Confederate monuments, including the Johnny

#KingButch (Concord Jazz) Butcher Brown has a lot to celebrate.

The Richmond quintet was recently tapped by ESPN to record an updated version of Little Richard’s “Rip It Up” as the new theme song for “Monday Night Football.” On the heels of that opportunity, the group made its major label debut on Concord with the release of its eighth studio album, #KingButch. The 13-song collection is an energetic display of the signature jazz/hip-hop/ funk fusion that’s made the band a commonwealth mainstay since 2013. Recorded at Butcher Brown’s home base of Jellowstone Studios in Richmond, the album features core members DJ Harrison (deejay, keys), Corey Fonville (drums), Andrew Randazzo (bass), Marcus “Tennishu” Tenney (trumpet, saxophone), and Morgan Burrs (guitar). While #KingButch is brimming with influences from the ’60s and ’70s, the album title’s hashtag demonstrates a cultural awareness that’s prevalent throughout the sonic landscape. With a unique approach (think Southern rap meets Sly and the Family Stone), Butcher Brown has crafted one of the most exciting records of the year (released 9/18).

Charlottesville after graduating from the College of William & Mary in 2015, channeling the legacy of two of his musical heroes—David Berman and Stephen Malkmus. With wry lyricism and catchy alt-rock hooks, Gold Connections certainly gives a nod to Pavement and Silver Jews, but with a flare all its own. Marsh’s friend and former bandmate Will Toledo (of Car Seat Headrest fame) shared a producer credit on Gold Connections’ self-titled debut on Fat Possum Records. Backed by the local EggHunt Records, Popular Fiction (2018) and Like a Shadow (2019) soon followed.

Gold Connections’ latest EP, Ammunition, is a five-song explosion that harkens back to the ’90s, but lyrical descriptors like “late-Obama-era” place the EP squarely in the present.

Marsh took the producer reins on this release, and it shows: Ammunition is his tightest offering to date (coming 11/16).

addition to the current spate of indie rock. At once playful and vulnerable, Thibodeau delivers a captivating meditation on love, loss, and womanhood. With tinges of Americana shrouded in pop-punk touchstones, Thibodeau’s buoyant, sinewy vocals are the star of the show (released 5/8).—Desiré Moses

Deau Eyes Let It Leave (EggHunt Records) Richmond native Ali Thibodeau has a varied background in performance, taking on roles in theme parks, theaters, cruise ships, festivals, and studios across New York, Idaho, Florida, and Virginia. But her latest iteration—as singer-songwriter Deau Eyes—may be her best yet. Funded by a Kickstarter campaign, her debut full-length, Let It Leave, is a passion project that was recorded at Trace Horse Studios in Nashville and took two years to come to fruition. The fact that Thibodeau has spent years honing her skills in performance is evident: Let It Leave glistens with a gusto and grace that’s a refreshing

Reb statue in Charlottesville. “I never thought I would see this in my lifetime. I think it’s the start of a very important conversation,” he says.

Interestingly, there are photos of a Gordonsville rodeo here too: plaid shirts, rippling hides, and all. It’s tempting to make assumptions about how mismatched the nostalgic realm of the rodeo might be with the urban, future-looking world represented by some of Suchak’s other images—say, the one of a young female graduate in cap and gown raising a fist in front of a graffiti-enhanced monument.

But if there’s one thing 2020 asks us to do, it’s to reconsider what we think we know. As Suchak’s collection proves, this is a complex region, state, and world, with room for infinite perspectives.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The hardest thing you will ever do is trust yourself,” says Libran journalist Barbara Walters. Really? I don’t think so. In my experience, the hardest thing to do is to consistently treat ourselves with the loving care we need to be mentally and physically healthy. But I do acknowledge that trusting ourselves is also an iffy task for many of us. And yet that’s often because we don’t habitually give ourselves the loving care we need to be healthy. How can we trust ourselves if we don’t put in the work necessary to ensure our vitality? But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming weeks, you’re likely to be extra motivated and intuitively astute whenever you improve the way you nurture yourself.

By Rob Brezsny

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): “You can’t learn anything when you’re trying to look like the smartest person in the room,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. That’s a useful message for you right now. Why? Because you will soon be exposed to teachings that could change your life for the better. And if you hope to be fully available for those teachings, you must be extra receptive and curious and open-minded—which means you shouldn’t try to seem like you already know everything you need to know.

October 14 – 20, 2020 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve decided not to use quotes by famous writers who’ve endorsed bigoted ideas. In the future, my horoscopes won’t mention the work of T. S. Eliot, Roald Dahl, V. S. Naipaul, Edith Wharton, Kingsley Amis, H. P. Lovecraft, Flannery O’Connor, Rudyard Kipling, and Louis-Ferdinand Celine. I’m sorry to see them go, because I’ve learned a lot from some of them. And I understand that many were reflecting attitudes that were widespread in their era and milieu. But as I’ve deepened my commitment to fighting prejudice, I’ve come to the conclusion that I personally don’t want to engage with past perpetrators. Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to take an inventory of your own relationship with bigoted influences—and consider making some shifts in your behavior.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn chemist Tu YouYou doesn’t have a medical degree or Ph.D. Yet she discovered a treatment for malaria that has saved millions of lives.

The drug was derived from an ancient herbal medicine that she spent years tracking down. In part because of her lack of credentials, she remained virtually unsung from the time she helped come up with the cure in 1977 until she won a Nobel Prize in 2015. What’s most unsung about your accomplishments, Capricorn? There’s a much better chance than usual that it will finally be appreciated in the coming months.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting,” says

author Gregory David Roberts. If that’s true, I expect that a surge of luck will flow your way soon. According to my astrological analysis, fate has grown impatient waiting for you to take the actions that would launch your life story’s next chapter.

Hopefully, a series of propitious flukes will precipitate the postponed but necessary transformations. My advice? Don’t question the unexpected perks. Don’t get in their way. Allow them to work their magic.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Have you formulated wily plans and crafty maneuvers to help you navigate through the labyrinthine tests and trials up ahead? I hope so. If you hope to solve the dicey riddles and elude the deceptive temptations, you’ll need to use one of your best old tricks—and come up with a new trick, as well. But please keep this important caveat in mind: To succeed, you won’t necessarily have to break the rules. It may be sufficient merely to make the rules more supple and flexible.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Would you be willing to meditate on how you might become more skilled in the arts of intimacy? Would you consider reading books and websites that offer guidance about strategies for being the best partner and ally you can be?

Are you receptive to becoming more devoted to practicing empathy and deep listening? I’m not saying you’re deficient in these matters, nor am I implying that you need to improve your mastery of them any more than the rest of us. I simply want you to know that now is an especially favorable time for you to make progress.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Entre chien et loup is a French idiom that literally means “between dog and wolf.” It’s used to describe twilight or dusk, when the light is faint and it’s tough to distinguish between a dog and a wolf. But it may also suggest a situation that is a blend of the familiar and the unknown, or even a moment when what’s ordinary and routine is becoming unruly or wild. Entre chien et loup suggests an intermediary state that’s unpredictable or beyond our ability to define.

In accordance with astrological omens, I propose you regard it as one of your main themes for now. Don’t fight it; enjoy it!

Thrive on it!

Gemini (May 21-June 20): For 34 years, the beloved American TV personality Mr. Rogers did a show for children. He’s now widely acknowledged as having been a powerful teacher of goodness and morality. Here’s a fun fact: His actual middle name was “McFeely.” I propose that you use that as a nickname for yourself. If McFeely doesn’t quite appeal to you, maybe try “Feel Maestro” or “Emotion Adept” or “Sensitivity Genius.”

Doing so might help inspire you to fulfill your astrological assignment in the coming weeks, which is to allow yourself to experience more deep feelings than usual—and thereby enhance your heart intelligence.

That’s crucial! In the coming weeks, your head intelligence needs your heart intelligence to be working at peak capacity.

What’s your favorite Charlottesville tree—and why?

Cancer (June 21-July 22): A blogger named Dr. LoveLlama writes, “You may think I am walking around the house with a blanket around my shoulders because I am cold, but in fact the ‘blanket’ is my cloak and I am on a fantasy adventure.” I approve of such behavior during our ongoing struggles with COVID-19, and I especially recommend it to you in the coming days. You’ll be wise to supercharge your imagination, giving it permission to dream up heroic adventures and epic exploits that you may or may not actually undertake someday. It’s time to become braver and more playful in the inner realms.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his fictional memoir Running in the Family, Virgo author Michael Ondaatje returns to Sri Lanka, the land where he spent his childhood, after many years away. At one point he enthuses that he would sometimes wake up in the morning and “just smell things for the whole day.”

I’d love for you to try a similar experiment, Virgo: Treat yourself to a festival of aromas.

Give yourself freely to consorting with the sensual joy of the world’s many scents. Does that sound frivolous? I don’t think it is. I believe it would have a deeply calming and grounding effect on you. It would anchor you more thoroughly in the here and now of your actual life, and inspire you to shed any fantasies that you should be different from who you are.

October 14 – 20, 2020 c-ville.com

(July 23-Aug. 22): According to author Rev. Dr. Marilyn Sewell, “The body has its own way of knowing, a knowing that has little to do with logic, and much to do with truth.”

I recommend that you meditate on that perspective. Make it your keynote. Your physical organism always has wisdom to impart, and you can always benefit from tuning in to it—and that’s especially important for you right now. So let me ask you: How much skill do you have in listening to what your body tells you? How receptive are you to its unique and sometimes subtle forms of expression? I hope you’ll enhance your ability to commune with it during the next four weeks.

This one in front of the Albemarle County Office Building on Ridge! It’s spectacular in the fall. But year-round, it always makes me smile in wonder at its grand size as I come around the bend on Ridge.

This tree is walked by daily and many probably haven’t even noticed it. The night that I decided to click this photo (last week), I noticed this tree.

Jaunt may be the answer for people for whom transportation is an issue.

Jaunt, Inc. is urging central Virginians to make a plan to vote. Election Day is approaching and early voting in Virginia has already started. Whether you’re voting early or casting your ballot on Election Day, Jaunt can help you get there – free!

Public transportation, particularly the demand-response service offered by Jaunt, is an effective option to help those who would otherwise not vote due to transportation issues. In the area that CAT serves; the City of Charlottesville and urban Albemarle County, passengers can book a ride with Jaunt if they are ADA certified. To qualify, riders must apply for ADA certification at www.charlottesville.gov/adaapp. In rural Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties, any and all people can book a ride with Jaunt’s standard demandresponse service. ADA certification is not required in these localities to ride with Jaunt.

As always, the health and safety of Jaunt’s passengers and drivers is our greatest concern. To protect our riders and drivers from the threat of COVID-19, we are not charging fares to minimize the risk of person-to-person contact; we have limited the number of passengers per-

mitted on a vehicle at any given time to allow for social distancing; all drivers are wearing CDC-approved face coverings; all passengers are required to wear face coverings while riding Jaunt; and every Jaunt vehicle is cleaned and disinfected daily following CDC protocols.

Jaunt is committed to making in-person voting available and safe for those who need it. To book a ride to the polls with Jaunt, call 434-297-2627 or email trips@ridejaunt.org. Don’t wait, reserve your ride to vote early today, or plan to reserve your ride for Election Day as early as October 20! Due to current reduced capacity on our buses to allow for social distancing, riders are encouraged to book at least a week before Election Day in order to help us maximize our schedules, respond to demand, and guarantee service.

Jaunt wants to make sure that everyone who wants to reach the polls, can.

Make a plan! If transportation is an issue for you, Jaunt may be the answer to help you get to your polling location.

Jaunt, Inc. is Central Virginia’s regional public transit system, connecting people to their community. Jaunt delivers convenient and reliable service with its demand response and commuter routes, all through the use of current technology and a customer-focused approach.

Jaunt service area includes the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties.

Women United in Philanthropy 2020 Human Services Grant Awards Presentation On Thursday, October 1, 2020, Women United in Philanthropy (WUP) revealed the winners of a total of $50,000 in grants ($25,000 each) to two area nonprofits selected by a member vote on 501C3 organization finalists that serve women and children.

Since its inception in 2005, WUP has awarded more than $640,000 to local organizations. Each of the five area nonprofit finalists applied for programmatic

or project-based funds and participated in a year-long grant application process.

“I’m amazed each year at the dedication and passion for our community that we see in each organization’s grant proposal and the presentations. Creating awareness of the needs in our area and those working hard to meet those needs is important. And they are even more so in such a challenging year like this. Without the continued support and generosity of our WUP members, we wouldn’t be able to fund these two $25,000 grants that will help the recipients continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of others,” said Kendra Stribling, the WUP grant committee chair.

The awards presentation was streamed publicly on the WUP Facebook page where a recording of the celebration can also be found. The 2020 Grant Finalists were: • AHIP (Albemarle Housing Improvement Program) – Safe at Home Program • All Blessings Flow – Pickup and Delivery Program • The Front Porch – Roots and Wings Music Education • Nearby Baby - Postpartum Doula Training • Piedmont CASA – Bridges to Success for Older Youth in Foster Care This year’s grant recipients are AHIP and Piedmont CASA WUP grants are funded through membership. Individual memberships start at just $100, with Corporate and Underwriter opportunities also available.

For more information about Women United in Philanthropy, membership, and the grant process, visit www.WomenUnitedCville.org.

About Women United Women United in Philanthropy is a collective giving organization formed in 2005 in partnership with United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area. The organization’s mission is to engage with like-minded women, learn about philanthropy, and leverage collective giving to support local women and children. Each year WUP awards grants to community organizations that serve women and children in our area.

✔ Lifestyle, ✔ Affordability and ✔ Community at

Lake Monticello

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

D

on’t tell the folks out at Lake Monticello, but there’s a pandemic going on. You’re not supposed to be having a banner year in sales. According to Vicky Wilson, Principal Broker and Owner of Monticello Country Realtors, that’s exactly what’s happening. In 2020, sales are on track to beat previous years with 233 homes and another 22 lots sold prior to the end of September.

So, what is it about Lake Monticello that attracts so much interest?

When you talk to people who live there, three prevailing themes come up: lifestyle, affordability, and community.

By the Numbers Lake Monticello is a private waterfront community in Palmyra, Fluvanna County. Originally conceived of as a summer vacation home community in the late 1950s, it eventually took shape a decade later. Rumor has it that Hurricane Camille filled up the Lake, which was under-construction, overnight on August 19, 1969. In reality, it already

had 35-40 feet of water in it, and Camille just topped it off.

After the community was established it evolved into a bedroom community of Charlottesville, only 13 miles away. The Lake’s 350 acres includes 22.5 miles of shoreline and the surrounding community takes full advantage of its natural assets. Community amenities include five beaches, one golf course, a marina, club house, pool, tennis courts, and a sports field complex.

According to Lauren Marshall, Executive Assistant with Lake Monticello Owner’s Association (LMOA), there are a total of 4,604 lots with 4,286 houses completed, 511 of which are waterfront properties. A condominium complex adjacent to the marina includes 10 units, and there are 26 new homes currently under construction.

More than 12,000 residents call Lake Monticello home. As Fluvanna County’s largest population center, Fluvanna allocates resources for the community appropriately. That ranges from offering programming in the community, like kayak lessons on the Lake, to bringing the right government entities to collabo-

rate. Their goal is for Lake Monticello to continue to be an asset and attract new residents to Fluvanna County.

Lifestyle All those 12,000 residents can’t be wrong. But what exactly do they see at Lake Monticello that continues to bring new residents into this already thriving community?

Diane Miller, Associate Broker with Long and Foster Realty – Lake Monticello, has lived at the Lake for 20 years and has helped people find their ideal lives there as a REALTOR® for more than 15 of them. She can’t overemphasize the impact that moving to a community like Lake Monticello has on the quality of people’s lives.

its own competitive swim team with neighborhood kids. Generally open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, it is a welcome addition to the slate of amenities available to residents. The golf course has also seen recent improvements. The new Fairway Clubhouse features a pro golf shop and full-service restaurant, The Pub. Steve Hurwitz, General Manager of LMOA, oversees operations for the Owner’s Association. “Our goal is to provide exceptional value so people can afford to live here and enjoy a resortstyle life. Homeowners have access to this wonderful environment with recreational activities for kids up through seniors of all interests and abilities. We have structured our membership fee to maximize value. Some of the fees, like the golf course and pool, are outside of the basic membership, using a pay-to-play model. That strategy allows us to offer so much and keeps things affordable.”

The usual slate of country club activities—golf, tennis, and swimming—is only part of the package. The Lake, beaches, and natural areas play an outsized role in what attracts residents to Lake Mon-

“Even if the original residents were looking for vacation homes, it didn’t take long for Lake Monticello to evolve into a year-round community. There are a significant number of retirees here, but even that has changed in my 20 years here.

More and more families and people of all ages recognize the wonderful lifestyle they can have here, all year long.”

Len Toledo is one of those people.

“I’ve lived here for about 20 years and enjoy it. I play doubles tennis and pickleball at the courts here. I occasionally play at our golf course, so I do take advantage of the many amenities. I also enjoy paddle boarding in our beautiful lake.”

And lest you think he is a typical retiree that sees pickleball and golf as the ultimate challenge, Toledo is an avid cyclist and athlete rigorously training for the Ironman Triathlon Relay that will be held next August in Maine. “It is safer to ride my bike inside the gate, because of the 25-mph speed limit. And I swim in the outdoor pool during the summer, which is very convenient for my workouts.”

The new pool was completed in time for the 2019 summer season and hosts

ticello. And the community values being good stewards.

“We take good care of our green space,” says Hurwitz. “Not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because our members appreciate living among these wonderful natural settings. The Lake Monticello Golf Course is in the process of becoming a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Community members are also working with the Natural Wildlife Federation to see that our natural reserves throughout the community meet their standards for sustainability and provide habitat for local wildlife.”

“At Monticello Country REALTORS® our motto has always been ‘Vacation year-round at Lake Monticello’. In 2020, it seems even more relevant because of the pandemic. This year, being able to ‘Vacation at home year-round’ has made all the difference,” says Wilson, a 23-year resident of Lake Monticello.

And that’s what continues to draw people to Lake Monticello.

Affordability Part of the Attraction

rates are low, bringing many buyers here either for value or investments, or both.”

Miller agrees. “Starting prices are lower here than in Charlottesville, but you still have easy access to all the cultural, medical, and educational benefits that Charlottesville offers. We’re only 13

miles away. Richmond is a bit further, but even that can be a reasonable commute, given the value we offer. You can find a home here from in the mid-$200 thousands to more than $1 million, in a setting unmatched by other areas. People moving here from Northern Virginia or

Across nearly the entire spectrum of buyers, affordability plays a role. And Wilson knows it’s hard to beat Lake Monticello for value and affordability. “We are seeing first time homebuyers because of the low interest rates. Not only that, there’s a whole other group of people coming to the realization that they can afford a second home or vacation home at Lake Monticello in this financing environment.

ing communities. In addition to their own clubhouse on-site, buyers at Village Oaks and other area residents, can take advantage of many of the amenities at Lake Monticello by purchasing a Social Associate membership.

Part of a Community The top calling cards for Lake Monticello are resort-style living and affordability. But they are not the only draws.

There’s a certain intangible value to being able to access a ready-made, engaged, and vibrant community. Many people moving to a new area take years to feel like they are part of a real community. Miller advises not to underestimate this impact.

“It’s one of those things you can’t really put a direct value on. But it’s important and you can have it here in Lake Monticello. Even though everyone may come here for a different reason and at different stages in their lives, the structure here is welcoming and inclusive, but not overbearing. You can be as involved as you want to be.”

Hurwitz adds, “Although 2020 has been a little different because of the pandemic, our Community Center is a major hub for all sorts of activities and groups.

There are a huge number of social clubs and associations that function here for a wide variety of purposes. Some are purely social. Others are organized around specific interest groups and hobbies. If you can think of it, there’s probably a group here involved in that activity.”

If moving to a new area that is affordable, feels like you’re on vacation

full-time, and provides you with the option of a ready-made community is appealing, Lake Monticello has to be on your short list. There aren’t many other communities in Virginia offering that combination; and even fewer that are close to significant population, educational, and cultural centers with everything Charlottesville has to offer.

Toledo could be the spokesman for Lake Monticello. “We moved here because it is much more affordable than Charlottesville—the rest is all a bonus!”

Different residents may say the same thing in different ways. But most agree with the sentiment that some mixture of lifestyle, affordability, and community were the big draws that convinced them to take a look at Lake Monticello. And when they did, they decided they wanted to be among the lucky ones, echoing Wilson’s motto to “Vacation year-round at Lake Monticello.”

Carla Huckabee writes about health and high performing real estate.

buyers. Especially while interest rates remain so low. The problem is so few people want to leave once they move here!”

Homes at Lake Monticello are mostly owner-occupied by full-time residents, but Wilson knows many of the current residents started by buying a second home near the Lake. “Quite a few buyers become acquainted with Lake Monticello by visiting friends or family and fall in love with the area. They end up buying a second home here to use on weekends.

Eventually it gets harder to leave and some decide to retire early or work remotely using our high-speed internet so they can stay.”

With today’s potential work-fromhome environment growing, places like Lake Monticello are likely to see even more demand.

Hurwitz confirms that investors can buy a home and rent it out for a year or more. “Short-term rentals like Airbnb are not permitted, but people recognize our affordability and are interested in the investment value at Lake Monticello.

These owners are able to take advantage of the long-term rental market.”

If interested buyers can’t find what they want within the Lake Monticello gated community, there are other options just across the road. A new Ryan Homes development, Village Oaks, is under construction and selling fast. With more than 100 homesites, there are a few townhomes, but the vast majority are ranch style homes with garages in the $200 thousands and no yard work.

It is one of the area’s fastest grow-
