16 Winters, or the Bear’s Tale

By Mary Elizabeth Hamilton Directed by Kate Eastwood Norris April 21-23 and 28-30 at 8pm Culbreth Theatre Condemned by her husband for infidelity, the queen of Sicilia fakes her death and waits it out in a cabin in the woods in this story that imagines the 16-year interval in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. The king feeds his guilt through rock music and the ghost of his dead son, his abandoned daughter runs away, and everyone is pursued by a bear. Full of mistaken identity and male privilege gone wrong, this comedydrama explores the reimagining of social constructs and how we create a new path in the wake of repression.

“There are many municipalities across the state of Virginia that share similar tax codes,” says Neely. “So this could have some far-

Crime Statistics (continued)

Same pattern Last week, the Charlottesville Police Department released its 2021 annual report, revealing the continued disproportionate arrests of Black residents.

Both in 2020 and 2021, 56 percent of people arrested in Charlottesville were Black, while 42 percent were white. Only about 15 percent of the city’s population is Black, according to the 2020 census.

However, 2021 had 831 arrests—a slight decrease from 2020’s 922 arrests.

Last year, there were no homicides, but around a 20 percent increase in “crimes against persons,” including 19 forcible rapes, 121 aggravated assaults, and 496 simple assaults. In 2020, there were four homicides, 17 forcible rapes, 115 aggravated assaults, and 368 simple assaults.

Though there was a slightly more than 5 percent drop in “crimes against society” in 2021, there was about a 17 percent rise in “crimes against property,” largely burglaries, destruction of property, thefts of motor vehicles, and other larcenies. The largest uptick was thefts of motor vehicle parts or accessories, which rose from 47 incidents in 2020 to 172 in 2021.

reaching ramifications on taxpayers across the commonwealth.”

A similar lawsuit brought by author John Hart in Albemarle County has been stayed while the Charlottesville appeal continues.

CPD’s 2021 annual report shows that arrests in the city have dropped, but the disproportionate arrests of Black people has continued.

Despite calls from community members to reallocate police funding to community services, this month City Council approved a $20 million CPD budget for the next fiscal year—a nearly 7 percent increase from last year.

Former Agnor-Hurt Elementary assistant principal Emily Mais filed a lawsuit against Albemarle County Public Schools claiming school employees harassed and retaliated against her after she used the term “colored people”—instead of “people of color”—during a training session, and complained about the division’s antiracism policy. The complaint alleges Mais, who is white, was forced to resign due to a “racially hostile and divisive work environment” in August.

Novelists John Hart and Corban Addison (pictured here with their attorney Renée Flaherty in 2019) are freelancers who work from home or remote locations, and who sued the city and county over the business license tax. The city lost the case brought by Addison in circuit court, and the Virginia Supreme Court is now considering the city’s appeal.

@cville_weekly

The family of Rahmean Rose-Thurston unveiled a new memorial on Fifth Street last week, in honor of the 23-year-old Charlottesville resident who died in a motorcycle accident on the road in 2020. In the last six years, seven people have died in accidents on Fifth Street. Last month, the city lowered the speed limit from 45 to 40 mph, and announced plans to hire an engineering firm to consider additional safety improvements.

T

he Virginia Supreme Court is considering the merits of an appeal brought by the City of Charlottes­ ville in a lawsuit over who is required to pay its business license tax.

Best-selling author Corban Addison sued the city in 2019 after receiving a letter telling him he was required to pay the tax based on his income as a freelance writer for current and previous years.

“I have lots of author friends, and none of them at that point that I knew was paying a business license tax in the county or the city,” Addison says. “It was just sort of logical because I wasn’t inviting customers.

I didn’t have… a physical plant that was just creating intellectual property and licensing it to publishers.”

Addison, who is also an attorney, read the city code and didn’t see how it applied to freelancers.

“My response to the city was, how am I a service? I mean, that really is the nub. The fundamental issue in the case, even now in front of the Virginia Supreme Court,” says Addison.

The Charlottesville Circuit Court agreed with Addison and ruled against the city. The Virginia Supreme Court heard arguments in the city’s appeal on April 20.

Attorney Keith Neely with the Institute for Justice, the organization representing Addison, says the Virginia Supreme Court’s

When one of the organizers asked the crowd what brought them there, a student called out, “I don’t want the world to end.”

The marchers were energized, and the force of the group appeared magnetic as a few onlookers joined them.

Zack, an aspiring lawyer specializing in Indigenous peoples’ law, was one of those who came to watch—and then got involved.

He even addressed the crowd, saying: “I noticed the engines of the train tuning out the chants of climate activists marching.”

Josh Vana, director of ARTIVISM, an organization that connects resident artists and activists in the central Virginia Area, spoke next.

“I’m here to talk about power,” Vana said.

He warned the students about the “Virginia Way,” a term describing how entrenched power works to pursue business as usual while refusing to respond to those calling for justice.

Vana discussed the group’s efforts to prevent the building of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which he called the “largest climate change catalyst right now in our region.”

The pipeline spans 303 miles, from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia, and the project is both over budget and behind schedule. Vana pointed people to StopMVP.org, where they can join the fight.

“Stay loud,” he told the students. “Agitate, educate, and organize.”

The event concluded with an “email zap,” during which students individually sent emails with the DivestUVA demands to UVA President Jim Ryan at the same time, in an effort to flood his inbox and force his attention.

Marchers first met at the Rotunda, where leaders of DivestUVA shared opening remarks, beginning with recognition of the Monacan Nation, the “historic caretakers of the land.”

“We should all be dedicated to acknowledging and utilizing our privilege and position for change, and strive for an activism that is decolonizing, self-aware, and as equitable as possible,” said one speaker.

DivestUVA organized the march with a list of specific demands: that UVA and the UVA Investment Management Company, UVIMCO, fully divest by the end of the year from any company whose primary profit is from the extraction or distribution of fossil fuels; that the university remove the influence of fossil fuel companies from its administration and educational spaces; and that both UVA and Charlottesville have an environmental justice report done to see effects of the city structure on BIPOC communities, and then act to remediate the damage done.

Alex, a fourth-year student, read a poem she wrote about the university’s complicity in the climate crisis.

“It makes me angry to see the university that I love and care about fund an industry setting the earth on fire,” she said.

The students then took off toward the coal plant, to chants of “Hey Jim Ryan, the planet’s dyin’!”

Homemade signs included slogans such as “I speak for the trees” and “This is not what we meant by ‘Hot Girl Summer.’”

“Stay loud. Agitate, educate, and organize.”

dispute between the Montpelier Foundation board and the Montpelier Descendants Committee over a power-sharing agreement reached last summer has now snowballed into what appears to be a full-on revolt by staff at the fourth U.S. president’s historic estate.

“By revoking parity with the MDC and by firing and suspending staff, TMF has attempted to co-opt the meaning of this ancestral space, and in the process has done irreparable harm to the security of and accessibility to these culturally significant resources,” reads a statement released Saturday, April 23, on a new website, montpelierstaff. com, and signed by “a majority of full-time staff and a growing number of part-time staff.”

The controversy erupted in late March when the Montpelier Foundation board voted to reverse its June 2021 decision to rewrite the bylaws granting the MDC the right to recommend at least half the members of the board. The stated goal was to create “structural parity” by giving descendants of the enslaved workers who built and ran Montpelier equal say in determining the future of the site.

The reversal prompted immediate backlash from the MDC, Montpelier staff, and

historic preservation groups including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which owns Montpelier and leases it to the foundation.

Foundation Board Chair Gene Hickok insisted the board would still create structural parity by appointing descendants itself; he blamed the situation on the MDC for refusing to recognize two descendants put forth by the board as contributing to structural parity.

“That’s not partnership. It’s not collegiality. And that’s not what the original understanding of our relationship would be,” he said in an interview earlier this month.

Neither Hickok nor Montpelier CEO Roy Young responded to a request for comment for this article.

The situation further deteriorated last week when Young fired multiple highlevel staff members including Executive Vice President and Chief Curator Elizabeth Chew and Director of Archaeology and Landscape Restoration Matt Reeves.

According to the statement from remaining Montpelier staff, those firings came in retaliation for public statements in support of the MDC and have created a “culture of fear” for those staff members who remain.

Hickok initially released a statement defending the board’s actions and placing the blame on MDC. After last week’s firings,

“By leaving this site abandoned and removing staff with institutional knowledge, Montpelier’s ‘leadership’ has put the property’s cultural heritage at risk, the stories at risk, and the ability for this information to be shared at risk.”

Area resident hosts egg-decorating fundraisers for Ukraine

Local Ukrainian egg-decorating parties have raised more than $16,000 (and counting) for several humanitarian aid organizations.

By Maryann Xue news@c-ville.com

The kistka, a special writing implement used to decorate the eggs, looks like a copper funnel attached to a wooden stick. Beeswax is melted into the funnel by holding it over a flame, and at the opposite end is an opening the size of a ballpoint pen from which the wax can emerge in fine detail. The eggs are then dipped in watercolor Ukrainian dyes. Once the wax gets stripped off, the design remains etched on the surface, and the eggs are shellacked. The whole process takes roughly two hours.

When Goodman announced that she would be hosting egg-decorating parties, she received an overwhelming amount of support—she scheduled 30 parties right away.

“The only thing I want to get out of this is that we come together and give to Ukraine,

facebook.com/cville.weekly

or almost a decade, Charlottesville resident Valerie Goodman has created Ukrainian eggs for fun—but when Russia invaded Ukraine, she saw the eggs as a way to raise money and awareness.

Since March, Goodman has hosted eggdecorating parties for up to a dozen people.

At the events, the minimum donation is $25 per egg, but Goodman says attendees have been averaging about $50 per egg, or about $500 per party. So far, over $16,000 has been raised for Ukraine.

Egg decorating in Ukraine is traditionally a springtime activity, but has associations with Easter. Decorations can have both religious and symbolic meanings: Spirals catch evil.

Hollow eggs capture bad energy. Others represent love, prosperity, and wealth. These eggs, known as pysanky, derived from the Ukrainian verb meaning “to inscribe,” have inscriptions made with beeswax, rather than paint.

Before each party, Goodman washes and prepares the eggs, donated by neighbors, and brings kistka and Ukrainian dyes, which she purchased from the Ukrainian Gift Shop in Minneapolis.

“The only thing I want to get out of this is that we come together and give to Ukraine, to people who need it right now during this horrific time.” VALERIE GOODMAN

to people who need it right now during this horrific time,” says Goodman.

Each individual party decides together where the money will go, and it’s up to the host to collect what’s been raised, and make the donation on everyone’s behalf. GlobalGiving, Heart to Heart, World Central Kitchen, International Rescue Committee, UNICEF Ukraine, Red Cross Ukraine, and Doctors Without Borders are among the humanitarian aid organizations that have benefited from the egg-decorating events.

The parties have primarily been attended by middle-aged women and their friends, but attendees come from everywhere. Malati Mari Kurashvili, a yoga instructor from the country of Georgia who has lived in Charlottesville for seven months, compared Ukrainian egg decorating to that of Georgians. In Georgia, eggs are primarily decorated with religious symbols and dyed red, while Ukrainian egg decorating includes a variety of symbolic meanings.

Being right on the border with Russia, Georgians have also been significantly affected by the war, and Kurashvili wanted to find a way to offer support to Ukrainians.

She says the situation has been hard for Georgians, who have faced conflict with Russia for years.

“It’s just very triggering, this situation, because we’re scared that we’re going to be next,” says Kurashvili. “The Georgian government right now really took a very neutral position so we wouldn’t get affected as Ukraine, because we can’t resist like Ukraine’s doing right now.”

“We have Russian ties, and their armies are halfway into the capital,” she adds. “We will be destroyed in a heartbeat. So I tell you the truth, everybody’s very scared.”

Kurashvili has been moved by the support that Charlottesville has shown for Ukraine.

“I was very, very grateful at how kind and really caring people are here, because they really don’t have anybody out there,” says Kurashvili. “They have no connection to Eastern Europe, but they still care to do all this.”

While Goodman initially planned to host the egg-decorating parties until Easter, she says they’ll continue as long as people show up for them. Her next steps include looking for a matching grant for the funds that have been raised, and recruiting local artists to make eggs that can be auctioned off. And when the war ends, she wants to host the parties again to raise money to help rebuild Ukraine.

“As [people] finish the process and start to reveal their egg by melting off the wax, they love it, ” says Goodman. “And then I say, okay, now let’s give some money to Ukraine. Because that’s what these families would be doing if they weren’t running for their lives.”

“Look at us, we’re safe and we’re lucky enough that we can help,” she adds. “So dig into your pocket, let’s go, let’s help.”

April 27 – May 3, 2022 c-ville.com

the foundation board released a new statement with an offered compromise. MDC could put forth a list of 15 people from which nine would be chosen to serve on the board.

Half would begin serving July 1 and the other half would be installed on October 1.

MDC attorney Greg Werkheiser said that was a move in the right direction, but he said the delay in installing some of the MDC-recommended board members was a deal-breaker.

“The reason they would do that is because by splitting up these new board members, they maintain their two-thirds majority,” Werkheiser says. “And in those four months, they will not rehire the fired staff. They will fire additional staff. They will take actions against the current serving MDC board members, and they have the power with a two-thirds majority to actually expand the board and dilute any new MDC members they put on.”

The Montpelier staff also reject the foundation’s compromise, and do so using charged language.

“In short, the Board is offering a type of ‘three fifths compromise’ which will allow TMF to retain full control and sideline the MDC as an equal steward of the site,” staff write, referring to the agreement in the U.S. Constitution that said three-fifths of the enslaved population would be counted when determining taxation and representation.

The staff statement describes the devastation wrought by the foundation’s actions.

“TMF has defiled archaeological ethics and museum best practices by endangering the data and research of the site,” it reads.

“At present, there are open excavation units that are abandoned mid-excavation. Artifacts and other archaeological samples remain unprocessed.”

The foundation’s actions are not just “unethical and immoral,” the staffers claim, they also violate federal law.

“Archaeology is an inherently destructive science which rests entirely on proper recording and protection of data and the direct involvement of a site’s cultural descendants,” the statement reads. “By leaving this site abandoned and removing staff with institutional knowledge, Montpelier’s ‘leadership’ has put the property’s cultural heritage at risk, the stories at risk, and the ability for this information to be shared at risk.”

The MDC has previously called for Young and Hickok to resign; the National Trust released a statement condemning the firings and suggesting the foundation change leadership.

The National Trust did not respond to a request for comment on whether the Montpelier lease could be revoked.

The Montpelier staff statement repeats the call for foundation leadership to resign and says there is only one acceptable path forward.

“There is no justifiable reason to trust any proposal that does not begin with immediate parity with the MDC and the reinstatement of fired staff who steward Montpelier’s historic resources,” it reads.

The theme for Older Americans Month this year, which happens every May, is “age my way.”

What does that mean?

Well, according to the Administration for Community Living (ACL), which leads the effort to celebrate Older Americans Month, which was established in 1963 by then President John F. Kennedy, is about how older adults are re-defining themselves and declaring their independence.

Indeed, a few striking examples are provided by the actresses Jamie Lee Curtis, 63, and Michelle Yeoh, 60, who star in the recently released film “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” which not only challenges our assumptions about time and space (and will permanently change the meaning of “everything bagel” for you), what a super-hero movie should be, and what roles older women in Hollywood can play, but also what it means to age.

At the Radically Reframing Aging Summit last month, Curtis blasted the way we talk about aging.

“This word ‘anti-aging’ has to be struck,” she said. “I am pro-aging.

I want to age with intelligence, and grace, and dignity, and verve, and energy...I don’t want to hide from it.”

Indeed, for her role in “Everything,” in which she plays both a sinister IRS auditor and Yeoh’s hotdog fingers lover, Curtis insisted that there would be “no concealing of anything.” Indeed, that meant no make-up and not sucking in her belly or clenching her jaw.

“I’ve been sucking in my stomach since I was 11...I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “That was my goal. I have never felt more

free creatively and physically.”

Which addresses one of the most difficult aspects of aging for a lot of people: accepting how your body changes.

“I’m not denying what I look like, of course I’ve seen what I look like,” Curtis told the audience at the summit. “I am trying to live in acceptance. If I look in the mirror, it’s harder for me to be in acceptance.

I’m more critical. Whereas, if I just don’t look, I’m not so worried about it.”

Yeoh, a Malaysian actress best known for her role in Ang Lee’s Academy Award-winning martial arts film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” and who performs martial art sequences in “Everything,” pointed out it was usual for Hollywood to champion such roles for older women.

“Just because you are now an older actress, they think, Oh, no, no, no, no, we should let the guys do all these kinds of things,” Yeoh told Refinery29. “And thank God the Daniels (writers and directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) didn’t think like that. They thought outside of the box — or the universe.”

Like Curtis, Yeoh isn’t content to impose limits on herself because she’s getting older, and provided some wonderful advice in a recent NPR interview.

“I think you have to be present.

This life is yours. But if you’re not present, it’s wasted,” she said.”Time waits for no one. When we’re born, we age and then we die, and God forbid, we die before we have lived our lives. So we have to be present in whatever universe, in whatever life, because if you give up on being present, then you give up on your life.”

Here’s to being present...and aging your own way.

Checking in What’s happened to the city’s racist statues?

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

I

t’s been more than a year since statues began coming down in Charlottesville—where are they now?

Robert E. Lee Five months after moving crews hauled off the infamous Robert E. Lee monument to a city storage facility in July, Charlottesville City Council donated the bronze statue to the Jefferson School African American Center, which plans to melt it down and use the bronze to create a new public artwork—but the project, called Swords Into Plowshares, could be brought to a halt. At a hearing in Charlottesville Circuit Court last week, Judge Paul M. Peatross ruled that a lawsuit filed against the City of Charlottesville and the Jefferson School by two organizations that bid on the statue—the Trevilian Station Battlefield Foundation and the Ratcliffe Foundation—could proceed.

Peatross sustained the plaintiffs’ claim that the city does not have the authority to melt down the Lee statue due to a state code section forbidding localities from destroying war memorials. Last year, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the law did not apply to statues erected before 1997, but the code has since been amended to apply to all war memorials—regardless of when they were erected. Peatross also sustained two of the plain-

EZE AMOS

In August 2020, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to take down Charlottesville’s first Confederate monument: a bronze statue of a Confederate soldier known as “Johnny Reb,” who stood outside the county courthouse for 111 years. That fall, the board decided to send the mass-produced “At Ready” statue to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, which planned to erect Johnny Reb, along with his two cannons and pile of cannonballs, on the Third Winchester Battlefield. The New Market-based organization has publicly opposed the removal of Civil War monuments, and installed its own new Confederate memorial in 2019.

Nearly two years later, the cannons now mark a battlefield artillery position—but the statue and cannonballs have yet to be put on public display. “[The statue] will be re-erected in the coming months at its new permanent location,” SVBF CEO Keven Walker told C-VILLE in an email. “The final location for a monument that will utilize the stacked cannonball casting is being considered.”

According to the group’s proposal, the statue—rededicated as The Virginia Monument—will “mark the location where Virginia Troops fought and died for Virginia on that particular field,” while the cannonballs will “be used as a bronze element for a new stone monument [marking] the location where artillery played a decisive role in the outcome of the fighting.” A marker will also be installed near the rebel soldier, “relating the history of the monument itself and recognizing its significance and detailing its journey to the battlefield.”

tiffs’ other claims: that the city violated the Freedom of Information Act during a December meeting regarding the awarding of the statue, and that the bidding process fell under the Virginia Procurement Act, allowing the plaintiffs to seek legal relief.

If they win the case, the plaintiffs—represented by the same attorneys as the Monument Fund, which sued the city for trying to remove the Lee and Jackson statues in 2017—want the Jefferson School to return the statue to the city, and for the bidding process to be redone, with the school barred from participating. A trial date has yet to be announced.

“We’ll continue the process of community engagement,” said Jefferson School Executive Director Andrea Douglas of Swords Into Plowshares in an email to C-VILLE. “We hope that people will participate in this step as it is as important as the outcome of the case to our goals.”

After standing for decades in places of prominence in downtown Charlottesville, the Johnny Reb, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson monuments were all taken down and hauled away.

colleges, a museum, and one family about borrowing Confederate monuments, and that he hoped to obtain around 16 statues in total. However, Walker has since faced some roadblocks—in December, the city of Baltimore declined to lend four monuments to the exhibit, and in January, the City Council of Charleston, South Carolina, held off on voting on Walker’s request due to a lawsuit.

Stonewall Jackson Unlike Lee, Charlottesville’s statue of Stonewall Jackson has been kicked out of the city and shipped to the other side of the country. In December, City Council voted to sell the bronze monument to LAXART, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit arts organization that plans to use it for a new exhibit titled MONUMENTS, featuring decommissioned Confederate statues paired with contemporary art pieces inspired by the historic relics.

According to LAXART’s proposal, the Jackson statue will be “the centerpiece” of the innovative exhibit, which is expected to open at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art next year.

Renowned Black artists including Ja’Tovia Gary, Torkwase Dyson, and Abigail Deville are slated to create contemporary artwork. Additionally, MONUMENTS will include public programming and educational materials, providing broader context.

In December, LAXART director Hamza Walker told the Baltimore Fishbowl that he was currently in discussions with six or seven municipalities, two

The other monuments

SANJAY SUCHAK

The Confederate monuments in downtown Charlottesville and next to the Albemarle County courthouse have been the subject of controversy, litigation, and, of course, removal. In some neighboring counties, Confederate monuments still stand in front of the courthouses.

The Confederate monument at the Orange County courthouse sparked protest in March after a judge called for its removal.

Orange County

UVA’s George Rogers Clark monument has been relocated to an undisclosed storage facility.

“They fought for the right. They died for their country. Cherish their memory.

Imitate their example,” reads the Confederate monument in front of the Orange County courthouse. Controversy over the monument swelled in late March, according to the Culpeper Star-Exponent, when Orange County Circuit Court Judge David B. Franzén called the statue “an obstruction to the proper administration of justice in Orange County,” in an email to Orange County leaders. That message prompted a fundraising email from Virginia State Senator Bryce Reeves, who joined a protest in support of the monument and called for Franzen to step down.

George Rogers Clark

Nelson County Erected in 1965 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the memorial stands near the courthouse in downtown Lovingston. Its inscription reads “In memory of the heroic Confederate Soldiers of Nelson County who served in the War Between the States, 1861-1865. Love makes memory eternal.”

Fluvanna County

Louisa County Four years after the Confederate monument was dedicated in Palmyra, Louisa County dedicated its own monument “in memory of the courage, patriotism and devotion of the Confederate soldiers of Louisa County, 1861-1865.”

Dedicated in 1901 “To the memory of the Confederate soldiers of Fluvanna County 1861-1865,” the memorial is on courthouse grounds in Palmyra.

Just one day after Charlottesville took down its racist monuments, the University of Virginia removed its George Rogers Clark statue, depicting Clark on horseback attacking unarmed Native Americans, with three white frontiersmen holding guns behind him. Clark, who was born in Albemarle County in 1752, perpetuated genocide against Indigenous peoples and stole their land during and after the Revolutionary War. Beginning in September, a university committee—co-chaired by a citizen of the Monacan Nation and a UVA faculty member—consulted with representatives from 13 Native American tribes about the future of the statue, which remains in an undisclosed storage facility.

“The University and the tribes discussed options to remake the park space where it once sat,” UVA spokesman Brian Coy told C-VILLE in an email.

“UVA plans to engage a landscape architect with Indigenous landscape expertise for a proposal for the park redesign.”

In a report of recommendations for UVA President Jim Ryan, Virginian tribal leaders also urged the university to establish a formal tribal consultation policy; appoint tribal liaisons; dedicate an admissions office position for Native American recruitment and outreach; increase its Native American student and faculty population; give tuition waivers to citizens of Virginia tribes; develop a Native American law program and legal aid clinic; and offer a class on Virginian tribal history to all students and faculty.

April 27 – May 3, 2022 c-ville.com

After City Council made a last-minute decision to remove the city’s statue of Sacajawea, Meriwether Lewis, and William Clark along with the Lee and Jackson monuments, the statue was immediately sent to the Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center in Darden Towe Park, which committed to working with Indigenous peoples to create a new exhibit properly contextualizing the statue.

Since then, the statue that depicts the Lemhi Shoshone interpreter in what many perceive as an offensive, cowering position has remained in limbo, sitting in storage at the center. In December, council held a meeting to vote on the center’s bid on the statue, but Executive Director Alexandria Searls requested the councilors hold off.

Sacajawea’s descendants had made an amendment requesting permanent control over the statue, which Searls was unsure the center could legally grant and needed to be approved by its board of directors. No one had told the descendants they could not make last-minute changes to the legal document, explains Searls.

Later, Searls learned that the process of transferring the statue to the center had been done incorrectly, due to “a complete breakdown in communication.” Searls says she was told last year that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors had agreed that the center—which is on land owned by the city and county—could take ownership of the statue, but a few weeks after council’s December meeting, the county’s legal counsel told her the board never took a formal vote.

The county now wants the center to set aside money for the potential removal of the statue from the park, in case it shuts down one day.

Because she does not feel comfortable raising more money until the exhibit is officially approved—the center already has $70,000 in commitments from donors—Searls is currently looking into bonds and is waiting for the county to tell her its stipulations.

“The situation is now in the Board of Supervisors’ hands,” says Searls. “[It needs] to be solved in 2022 or else the money is not going to be ours.”

“No decisions have been made by, nor any proposals from the Board of Supervisors in relation to the Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea Statue,” Albemarle Supervisor Donna Price told C-VILLE in an email. “I am also not aware of any particular timeline for this matter.”

Celebrate local arts, and enjoy a cozy dinner with friends at Charlottesville SOUP, a public dinner series that supports creative projects.

Attendees are served a delicious dinner from Tilman’s, including soup, salad, bread, and dessert, and local artists will give short presentations on current projects. At the end of the night, each attendee votes for a project, and the winner is awarded the artist grant, which is funded entirely from ticket purchases. $10, 5:30pm. Eastwood Farm and Winery, 2531 Scottsville Rd. newcityarts.org

After 33 years with Fleetwood Mac, rock legend Lindsey Buckingham certainly needs no introduction. He’s still going strong as a solo act, and last year Buckingham released his self-titled seventh studio album, a pop-rock record with catchy drum loops and breathy vocals. Known for his complex arrangements, Buckingham is the sole instrumentalist on the album, playing guitar, keyboards, percussion, and more. Clocking in at just under 40 minutes, it’s short, but it sure is a good time. $49.75229.75, 7:30pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net

The queen is in hiding, the king is wallowing, and everyone is pursued by a bear in 16 Winters, or the Bear’s Tale, an imaginative comedy set in the 16 years between acts three and four of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.

Written by Mary Elizabeth Hamilton, the music-filled play examines real-word issues like patriarchy and male privilege, and explores how we can create a new path in the wake of repression.

UVA Drama’s production, directed

by Kate Eastwood Norris, features a Shakespeare-influenced set design that allows the Bear to roam freely. Be careful when you exit! $8-14, 8pm. Culbreth Theatre, UVA Grounds. virginia.edu

he Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will hold its annual Greens Cook Off on April 30, two months later than organizers had hoped.

The center intended to hold the cook off indoors in February, with contestants participating in stages. But “due to community concerns,” administrators held off. Now, with a warmer weather forecast and COVID-19 cases down from their January peak, organizers say they’re comfortable bringing participants together for the beloved event.

“It was one of the earlier programs that we instituted to celebrate Black culture,” says Leslie Scott-Jones, the center’s associate curator of education and public programs.

Now in its eighth year, the Greens Cook Off invites local home chefs to prepare food in three categories: braised greens (typically collard, though other varieties are welcome), macaroni and cheese, and pound cake. Event organizers ask the cooks to make enough of each dish to offer 50 people a 2-ounce serving. Scott-Jones says some COVID protocols will be in place to make it safe to share food.

Greens Cook Off participants can compete in as many categories as they choose.

Judging is done separately for each category, with three cheftestants emerging victorious.

Everyone attending the event can taste the goods, and fan favorites will also be selected.

Coronavirus interrupted the 2021 event as well. Instead of bringing folks together, the JSAAHC invited local professionals to do the cooking. Chefs from Maya, Blue Moon Diner, The Whiskey Jar, and Soul Food Joint,

among others, participated. Some recorded their cooks; others did it live. And while ScottJones said the online event went well, she’s excited for it to be back in person.

“People have been doing this for their families for years, some of them for decades, and it is a chance for them to show off a little bit,” she says. “It really is a chance for Black people in the community to come together and celebrate one of the pinnacle foods in Black culture. You go into any Black household, and there’s always a conversation about food. It’s part of who we are.”

So what makes a Greens Cook Off winning dish? Scott-Jones says it’s hard to say year-to-year. Vegan mac-and-cheese might not sound great to most folks, but that’s the dish that won the category several years ago.

“It’s been interesting over the years to see how people’s taste and health concerns have changed,” she says. “And there are all kinds of ways to cook greens.”

Scott-Jones says cook-off contestants have used various greens—collard, spinach, kale, mustard—and a litany of secret and not-sosecret spices. They’ve sautéed and boiled.

They’ve made greens with pork, and greens free of animal products.

Local soul food chef Angelic Jenkins of Angelic’s Kitchen says the secret to greens is time.

She starts with collard greens, diced onion, ham hocks, vinegar, and spices that’ll remain nameless. She braises the greens in chicken broth and water for nearly 24 hours. “Everybody at home thinks I’m crazy,” she says.

Scott-Jones says this year’s Greens Cook Off will be slightly smaller than in the past.

And because all but one of the contestants are new entries, this year’s champs will be first-time winners.

Sandwiched in Restaurant veterans pile wholesome whimsy on a roll

Morgan Hurt and Gabriel Garcia have created a cult following for their Kitchenette sandwiches, including the Hot Wet Beef (above), which “started it all.”

“We have to restrain ourselves because we get very dorky with it.”

MORGAN HURT

But when the pandemic slowed the events business, Kitchenette became their focus.

In June 2020, Kitchenette moved from a warehouse to a cozy Victorian home, tucked off of East High Street. The space is bright and has a familial feel. There’s a jar of dog treats for pups, and kids love the tables’ nov-

elty salt-and-pepper shakers, which range from dinosaurs to kiwi birds. The new location came with a vintage clawfoot tub in the bathroom, and Hurt jokes that “the sandwiches are so messy, we offer a bath!”

A restaurant space gives Hurt and Garcia the opportunity to flex their culinary creativity and have some fun. Their stuffed sandwiches boast bold flavors and fresh ingredients, with quirky names to match.

“Honestly,” says Hurt, “we have to restrain ourselves because we get very dorky with it.”

Some, like Penny and Oliver’s Dream, are

characters, their loss of freedom and will to live, their glimmers of hope, in the form of love and lust, family and escape.

It is a grand undertaking that shows Hazler & Dacey’s skill at distillation and evocation. At the core of Atwood’s work and this album is the question: What is life worth without freedom?

(Released November 2021)— Greg Walker

facebook.com/cville.weekly

The Haze & Dacey Collective has put together a stunning reworking of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale in the form of 10 songs that recount the novel’s war on women. Musically, Letters from Gilead is sparse and simple, though the mandolin, piano, and group vocals provide a lushness to the project. The lyrics might lack poetry in favor of storytelling, but they will resonate with anyone who’s read the book or seen the TV series—even the uninitiated will be moved.

Letters from Gilead is Kirsten “Haze” Hazler’s attempt to support

women during a time when women’s rights, reproductive and otherwise, are threatened by callous governments. Atwood has said in interviews that everything she wrote in The Handmaid’s Tale has already happened in our times, and it’s reflected in Letters’ title track: “I don’t know what you see on the news / but no doubt they sanitize the views.” The album plays like a drama, as we follow June and other

@cville_culture

If Tom Petty, with his tightgripped, loose-lipped optimism, sang about bank robberies and car crashes, drug busts and broken relationships, it would sound something like Lord Nelson on Transmission, the group’s latest 11-track offering, a project that attempts to capture the dynamic, gritty-yet-generous pre-pandemic live sound of the band when it was doing shows throughout the country. As COVID-19 loosened its grip, Lord Nelson released the album, hoping that people would find something to nod their heads and tap their feet to, while discovering solace in the pain of a sometimes

brutal world—and maybe catch the group on the road again in the near future. Mission accomplished.

Lord Nelson’s sound and words take on the darker side of life, with a hope and a prayer that music will bring us together and exorcize our demons. The band also relates to listeners in a way that even Petty was unable to do. The musicianship and songwriting is of a high order, and the songs cover a lot of ground through a set of grizzly short stories. If you like songs that uplift while not shying away from the shadowy parts of life, you might find a new favorite in Transmission. “This old world is bound to see you fail / But I love you tooth and nail.”

t was the Hot Wet Beef that started it all,” says Morgan Hurt.

Kitchenette, the lunchtime sandwich shop Hurt co-founded with her partner, Gabriel Garcia, boasts 22 different subs, hoagies, and rolls. But the Hot Wet Beef, a juicy roast beef hoagie with eggplant and pepper spread, is the OG. The inspiration came after a bite of a roast beef sandwich in Brooklyn, a sensory experience Hurt describes as beautiful. That’s when the couple realized Charlottesville needed a place that would “combine sandwiches with actual food.”

With 20 years of restaurant experience between them, Hurt and Garcia are well-prepared to take on a casual, gourmet concept.

“Dealing with food is fun!” says Hurt, a Charlottesville native who met Mexico City native Garcia while working at an Asheville, North Carolina, restaurant. In 2006, they moved to C’ville and worked at Vivace and The Whiskey Jar before opening Kitchen Catering and Events, in 2013.

They hadn’t forgotten about that magical moment with the roast beef sandwich in Brooklyn, though. In their free time, they found themselves crafting subs for friends, and trying out new flavor combinations.

Hurt gushes about the appeal of sandwiches. “They are just the perfect food! They’re portable and you can do anything with them,” she says. In 2017, the pair opened Kitchenette, intending the sandwich shop to be a side project to their catering business.

named after their dogs. Others, like The Ramona, are named after soccer moves. Even AC/DC’s Angus Young gets a shout-out with the Angus Yum. The Squeal is a slappin’ pork and bacon sammie with apple-ginger chutney, while The Jive Turkey’s blend of turkey, cranberry mayo, and crunchy onions elevates your average day-after-Thanksgiving concoction. The flavorful sides include curried chickpea salad, tangy kale salad, and soup of the day.

It’s guided by one goal: “We like to make it for our palates,” says Hurt, “It’s always something that we would want to eat.” Customers agree, say Hurt and Garcia, who love how regulars are always down to try the daily specials. “A lot of people are like, ‘I’ve never had anything bad here, so sure!’” says Hurt. “That’s really cool because they trust us to make it right.”

If Kitchenette is new to you, that’s part of the plan. The eatery’s founders purposely kept advertising to a minimum. “It’s given us the opportunity to learn as we grow,” says Garcia. “We feel lucky that we’ve grown more organically.” Yet it’s hard to keep good food a secret in Charlottesville, and their reputation has spread, well, through word of mouth. “We used to have slow days. There are no more slow days,” laughs Garcia.

They’ve also noticed more and more customers ask about parking. “We’re like, this is cool!” says Hurt. “It means they’re not from the neighborhood, we’re spidering out.”

But Hurt and Garcia won’t let the growth change a thing. Their goal for Kitchenette is simple: “We just want it to taste good,” Hurt says.

C

o-directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Everything Everywhere All At Once is a relentlessly entertaining, hilarious parody of the nonstop kinetics and overused “multiverse” concepts of recent comic book and action movies.

Although it’s heavy on its cartoonish, Sam Raimi-esque mayhem, the consistent likability and humanity make the film peculiarly uplifting. This science fiction/kung fu hybrid glories in over-the-top silliness but, ultimately, it’s a good-natured story about grappling with late middle age.

Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) stars as harried working mom Evelyn Wang, who’s barraged with existential dilemmas and annoyances: the laundromat she co-owns with her husband Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) is failing, and he’s having serious doubts about their marriage. Their daughter, Joy (Stephanie Hsu), can barely stand her mom. And her surly, estranged father, Gong Gong (James Hong), is visiting from China.

During a meeting with stiff-necked IRS bureaucrat Deirdre Beaubeirdra (Jamie Lee Curtis), Evelyn finds herself drawn into a

battle spanning multiple universes that alters her mundane existence and reveals her own extraordinary, untapped abilities.

Once it gets going, Everything Everywhere All At Once continually ups the ante with unpredictability and nonsensical humor at a furious pace. Highlights along the way include a farcical reworking of the “Dawn of Man” sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The film’s loony tone is exemplified by the characters’ arcane arsenal in their many kung fu melees, where weapons range from a fanny pack to a Pomeranian.

Everything’s success is largely due to its cast, which shines not only in main roles, but also as their characters’ various incarnations intermingling throughout alternate universes. Yeoh deftly combines vulnerability, athletics, and comic skill in her winning character(s). Returning from a nearly 20-year acting hiatus, Quan is outstanding as Waymond. For viewers who grew up watching Quan as Data in The Goonies or Indiana Jones’ sidekick Short Round, his return is like a reunion with a dear childhood friend. Quan doesn’t disappoint: He’s a natural on camera, and his nerdy charm belies his martial arts expertise. Curtis dives headfirst—almost liter-

ally—into the frumpy, sour Deirdre. And as Gong Gong, prolific character actor Hong is still killing it in his 90s. It’s a pleasure seeing this movie stalwart in such a big, meaty role.

Directors Kwan and Scheinert designed Everything Everywhere All At Once for audiences with tiny attention spans, but they

Everything Everywhere All at Once R, 140 minutes Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Violet Crown Cinema

work within this frantic form playfully enough that even viewers who hate highspeed, stylized gimmickry can enjoy it. It isn’t deep, nor does it aspire to be, but it mercifully lacks the sermonizing, preciousness, and nihilism that have spoiled other recent movies. It’s unpredictable, funny, engaging, risqué, goofy, and just plain fun in ways that few movies are. Within its pandemonium lurks what will likely be the most enjoyable movie of this season.

2020 Viognier Barrel Select We have been waiting at Horton for all the factors to click into place to pull-out Dennis Horton’s original recipe for barrel select Viognier. 2020 may have been filled with obstacles but it was had some opportunities. When 2 rows of Viognier came in with the perfect numbers - we grabbed the opportunity and processed this Viognier with 12 hours of skin time.

This can be very risky; the process needs to be constantly monitored and the winemaker needs to use a deft hand. we gathered all our resources including calling our winemaker from 30 years ago that did the original process with Dennis Horton - Alan Kinne. The results are breath taking!

We are excited to announce that Sharon Horton, of Horton Vineyards, is this year’s recipient of the 2022 Monteith Bowl Trophy from the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Association.

This trophy is awarded to individuals or organizations that performed exceptional contributions to the development and sustainability of the American wine industry.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Gemini (May 21–June 20): Gemini author William Butler Yeats won a Nobel Prize for Literature, so I conclude he had considerable talent and wisdom. But he cultivated interests and ideas that were at variance with most other literary figures. For example, he believed fairies are real. He was a student of occult magic. Two of his books were dictated by spirits during séances. In the coming weeks, I invite you to draw inspiration from his versatile repertoire.

Welcome knowledge in whatever unusual ways it might materialize. Be eager to accept power and inspiration wherever they are offered. For inspiration, here’s a Yeats’ quote: “I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22): You know what’s always good for your well-being? Helping people who are less fortunate and less privileged than you. To enhance your health, you can also fight bigotry, campaign against the abuse of animals, and remedy damage to the natural world. If you carry out tasks like these in the coming weeks, you will boost your vigor and vitality even more than usual. You may be amazed at the power of your compassion to generate selfish benefits for yourself. Working in behalf of others will uplift and nurture you. To further motivate you, here are inspirational words from designer Santiago Bautista: “I am in love with all the gifts of the world, and especially those destined for others to enjoy.”

Leo

Virgo

(April 20-May 20): “Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it,” wrote author and activist Gloria Steinem. “Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born,” she added.

Those are excellent meditations for you to focus on right now, Taurus. The time is ripe for you to envision in detail a specific new situation or adventure you would like to manifest in the future. It’s also a perfect moment to picture a truer, deeper, more robust version of your beautiful self—an expanded version of your identity that you hope to give birth to in the coming months. people. He declared, “I do not waste what is wild.” That might mean something different for him than what it would mean for you, but it’s an excellent principle for you to work with in the coming weeks. You will have more access than usual to wildness, and you might be tempted to use it casually or recklessly. I hope that instead you harness all that raw mojo with precision and grace. Amazingly, being disciplined in your use of the wildness will ensure that it enriches you to the max and generates potent transformative energy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect you will have the skills of an acrobat in the coming weeks—at least metaphorically. You will be psychically nimble. Your soul will have an exceptional ability to carry out spry maneuvers that keep you sane and sound. Even more than usual, you will have the power to adjust on the fly and adapt to shifting circumstances. People you know may marvel at your lithe flexibility. They will compliment you for your classiness under pressure.

But I suspect the feats you accomplish may feel surprisingly easy and breezy!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A Tumblr blogger named Af-70 gives copious advice. From his wide selection of wise counsel, I have selected six tips that are right for your needs in the coming weeks. Please study the following counsel. 1. “Real feelings don’t change fast.”

2. “Connect deeply or not at all.” 3. “Build a relationship in which you and your ally can be active in each other’s growth.” 4.

“Sometimes what you get is better than what you wanted.” 5. “Enjoy the space between where you are and where you are going.” 6. “Keep it real with me even if it makes us tremble and shimmer.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Consider putting a sign on your door or a message on your social media that says something like the following: “I’ve still got some healing to do. While I’m making progress, I’m only partway there. Am open to your suggestions, practical tips, and suggestions for cures I don’t know about.” Though the process is as yet incomplete, Sagittarius, I am proud of how diligent and resourceful you have been in seeking corrections and fixes. My only suggestions: 1. Be bold about seeking help and support. 2. Be aggressive about accessing your creativity. Expand your imagination about what might be therapeutic.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19): “To uncover what is hidden in my soul might take me a week or two,” my friend Allie told me. I told her she would be lucky if her brave and challenging exploration required such a short time. In contrast, some people I know have spent years trying to find what is buried and lost in their souls: me, for instance. There was one period of my life when I sought for over a decade to find and identify the missing treasure. According to my astrological analysis, you will soon enjoy multiple discoveries and revelations that will be more like Allie’s timeline than mine: relatively rapid and complete. Get ready! Be alert!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Thai cook named Nattapong Kaweenuntawong has a unique method for cooking the soup served in his Bangkok restaurant. At the end of each night, he saves the broth for use the next day. He has been doing that daily for 45 years. Theoretically, there may be molecules of noodles that were originally thrown in the pot back

in 1977. In accordance with current astrological omens, I urge you to dream up a new tradition that borrows from his approach.

What experience could you begin soon that would benefit you for years to come?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Pisces-born Casimir Pulaski was a Polish nobleman and military commander. As a young man, he fought unsuccessfully to free Poland from Russian domination. Driven into exile, he fled to America, arriving during the Revolutionary War with Britain in 1777. General George Washington was impressed with Pulaski’s skills, making the immigrant a brigadier general. He distinguished himself as a leader of American forces, exhibiting brilliance and bravery. For that excellence, he has been honored. But now, over two centuries later, his identity is in flux.

DNA analyses of Pulaski’s remains suggest he was an intersex person with both male and female qualities. I bring this to your attention, Pisces, because the coming months will be a favorable time to question and revise your understanding of your identity. May you be inspired by Pulaski’s evolving distinctiveness.

Aries (March 21-April 19): I recommend you adopt a limitation that will enable you to claim more freedom. For example, you could de-emphasize your involvement with a lukewarm dream so as to liberate time and energy for a passionate dream. Or you could minimize your fascination with a certain negative emotion to make more room for invigorating emotions. Any other ideas?

You’re in a phase when increased discipline and discernment can be liberating.

(July 23-Aug. 22): “There is a moment in each day that Satan cannot find,” wrote author and artist William Blake. Here’s how I interpret his poetic words: On a regular basis, you become relatively immune from the debilitating effects of melancholy, apathy, and fear. At those times, you are blessed with the freedom to be exactly who you want to be. You can satisfy your soul completely. In the next six weeks, I suspect there will be more of these interludes for you than usual. How do you plan to use your exalted respite from Satan’s nagging?

The 3D touring technology he used was amazing. Highly recommend Jordan.

Q&A

What is missing on the Downtown Mall?

Historical context. Most people who visit the DM (especially tourists) have no idea what the downtown Main Street used to be/look like. In a town that prides itself on “history” this is a missed opportunity.

CHRIS JESSEE/FACEBOOK

Affordable rent so businesses don’t close.

A gay bar.

An authentic and inviting Irish bar and restaurant.

Really miss the one near NBC29 studio building that closed just over a year ago! Please come back!!!!

GARY W. DUNCAN/FACEBOOK

@BASOPHIL_BRETT/TWITTER

ALFREDO VIEIRA/FACEBOOK

Crab legs.

Permanently allowing drinks outside within the mall proper.

AL ZAPPA/FACEBOOK

ROB WISE/FACEBOOK

A steakhouse!

Downtown Grille was such a great option.

Nothing like that anywhere in town now.

With a higher population density, people need those retail options that allow them to not have a personal vehicle. The Downtown Mall is a destination for entertainment and not a destination for everyday needs.

Sophisticated allweather awnings next to the restaurants instead of in the middle of the mall.

Island food.

@FARMERHILLHORN/TWITTER

CELIA THOMPSON/FACEBOOK

@RT11CHIPS2/TWITTER

Rooftop bars. Skybar II, plus others.

Public restrooms, public seating, a welcoming atmosphere for the entire community instead of an exclusive one for people with money to spend.

Normal shops where not-rich people can buy normal things for daily living. (CVS does their best but it would be nice to have a wider choice.)

Quirky and cute boutiques. It is really just a restaurant destination.

CHARLOTTESVILLE’S

EQuestrian Scene: Foxfield Races and Beyond

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

THE REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.C-VILLE.COM

T

here’s a whole lot of anticipation in the air as all eyes are on the weather forecast for this Saturday’s Foxfield Spring Races. Dubbed “the biggest party of the year,” more than 15,000 revelers are expected to converge on Foxfield, just 10 miles west of Charlottesville. After two years of spring races canceled by the pandemic, there is even more excitement than usual for this event.

Foxfield has become the official kickoff of summer in an area rich in equestrian culture. With a supportive climate and terrain, Central Virginia is home to all types of horse racing, polo, hunt clubs, and trail rides. Well-heeled investors, breeders, and trainers hoping for the next Secretariat are drawn here, as well as families of 8-year-olds longing for their own ponies.

And many of them will be at the spring races on April 30.

See and Be Seen Pull out the sundresses and Hunter boots, the seersucker, and pastels. Coming just a few days before the end of spring semester classes, UVA students will be in a celebratory mood, and Foxfield is ready.

Building on more than 40 years of steeplechase tradition, organizers are turning up the volume on this year’s spring races with an upgrade to what has typically been the “student section.”

“The New Orange Entertainment Park and Vendor Village were designed to enhance the Foxfield race-day experience for our largest race of the year,” said Kelsey Cox, Foxfield Racing Executive Director.

“Attendees will have more space, more activities, and more ways to meaningfully interact with each other and with the races.”

That means more fun. A festival-like atmosphere will prevail with a 21-foot video wall, food and beverage vendors peddling local and national brands, and

popular local radio host Kendall Stewart doing her thing.

Not only can attendees shed their winter and pandemic doldrums, but they can also feel good that some of the money they drop on the day is going to a good cause. The beneficiary of this year’s spring races is Camp Holiday Trails, and their

50th Anniversary Campaign to renovate and expand camp facilities to engage more children with medical needs and chronic illnesses.

Foxfield’s spring race card features flat racing, hurdle races, and timber races, with horses and jockeys from all over the country. Expect enough fascinators and natty bow ties to rival the Kentucky Derby. Add in the raw power of thundering hooves, the excitement of half-ton thoroughbreds clearing the hurdles, a beautiful Central Virginia day, and you have the perfect tailgating party atmosphere.

Lucky History and Geography Central Virginia has a long history with horses. Whether rewilded from Hernando de Soto’s 16th-century expeditions, wanderers from Spanish shipwrecks on the Atlantic Coast barrier islands, or English imports, we’ve been adapting to each other for more than 400 years.

From basic transportation and key roles in battles, to sport and recreation, the horse has become an integral part of life on and off the farm. The most common breed in America, the Quarter Horse, even got its start here in Colonial Virginia. Its economic hoof print has been growing ever since.

UVA’s Weldon Cooper Center pegged the horse industry’s annual impact in Virginia at $1.2 billion, which is no small change. And some of the best horse farms are found nestled among the foothills of the Blue Ridge.

That’s not random, it’s lucky geography. REALTOR® Pam Dent, with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc., advises buyers looking for a horse farm to look at much more than location, acreage, and price.

“If you are planning to grow horses, the vegetation, soil, water, and bedrock that serve as the foundation of the top layer of the ground affect the overall health and strength of your horses.

“Buyers who do not pay attention to soil quality may have a more difficult time with horse management and may have to supplement feed with additional minerals and chemical options.” And Central Virginia and the Piedmont region have some of the best combinations of soil quality, topography, and climate, setting up a great environment for all sorts of equestrian activities.

Sport of Kings Steeplechase races, polo matches, and foxhunts elicit courtly images of opulence on display by wealthy aristocrats. Perhaps that may still be true in old England, but here in Central Virginia, the circle has widened, welcoming participation by all.

The Foxfield Races organizers work hard to create an inclusive event. The goal is for all area horse and outdoor lovers

to feel welcome. Cox says, “Our hope is that the community will see value in our efforts to help Foxfield become a fun and exciting event that we can all be proud to support.”

And they’re not alone.

Catch a polo match at King Family Vineyards and nary a crown will be in sight. Instead, you’ll see the result of David and Ellen King’s search for a farm in Virginia with 12 acres of flat ground for a polo field. The farm now contains both Roseland Polo and King Family Vineyards. Free Sunday matches attract a wide cross-section of outdoor, equestrian, or wine lovers all summer long.

Less spectator sport and more multigenerational training ground, foxhunting is also alive and well in Central Virginia.

The Keswick Hunt Club recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. Although located in Keswick, in Albemarle County, most of the hunts take place in Orange, Madison, and Louisa counties.

In addition to keeping the next generation of foxhunters engaged, one of the biggest challenges to the future of area foxhunting is access to land. A successful foxhunt requires 500 to 800 acres of continuous land. Often, that requires gaining permission from multiple adjacent landowners to host a hunt.

The pipeline of equestrians remains strong. UVA and Virginia Tech are the two largest area universities sporting competitive equine teams. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and other smaller colleges offer academic equine programs as well.

With the Virginia Horse Center in nearby Lexington, there’s always something horse related going on in the area.

Aside from foxhunts all winter, polo matches all summer, and races in between, the center puts on a full complement of jumping events, rodeos, shows, and dressage festivals. This resource is vital to keeping Central Virginia a hotspot for horses and their owners representing all ages and economies.

trail rides and other equestrian activities.

What’s hurting us is the lack of inventory.

It’s not just in the regular residential real estate market; it’s everywhere.”

Rick Weldon with Virginia Horse Farms has been following the Central Virginia horse farm market for decades.

Many of the farms he handles are offmarket listings, businesses that don’t want to trigger any kind of market shift with a public listing.

“There are still plenty of people wanting to have their own horse farm, but not as many as 20 or 30 years ago,” says Weldon. “The biggest reason is probably the expense. It’s very costly to raise horses.

You have the initial cost of the acreage.

Then you have the cost and maintenance of the outbuildings and fencing. And we haven’t even started adding in the actual cost of the horses and their ongoing care.

“In today’s real estate market, it’s difficult to find horse farms available to buy. The lack of inventory is so low it’s terrifying. And that only leads to multiple bids and even higher prices.”

When a farm falls to some other use, it affects everyone. Zoning restrictions and conservation easements can maintain a balance between growth and retaining open spaces. These help to conserve the rural character that makes Central Virginia so appealing.

Finding a Farm

So how does Weldon advise his clients on making a go of an equestrian operation?

“If anyone asked for my advice, I’d tell them to branch out. If horses are your sole investment, it’s probably not going to work. You may enjoy it, but you’re certainly not going to break even. If your pockets are deep enough that’s fine.

“But if you have to generate some income, you’d be wise to make the equestrian side one piece of the puzzle. Look at your entire operation and see where you can generate some profit that’s compatible with what you’re already doing. One obvious strategy is to pair a wedding and

While aristocracy is no longer required, it’s not cheap to own and care for horses. But that doesn’t mean it’s not still a popular activity.

“Equestrian activities are not going away any time soon,” says REALTOR® Stephen McLean, with McLean Faulconer Inc. “People still love to ride or get involved with dressage or any of the other specialties. We probably saw more trail riders during the pandemic than before because it was a way to get outdoors.

“And we’re still lucky here in Central Virginia to have properties and wide-open enough areas that can accommodate

events venue on your farm. I have a client in Madison County who is doing this well, especially coming out of the pandemic with the surge in postponed weddings.”

One twist on that concept is The Barns of Madison County, a wedding and event venue located near Old Rag Mountain. With more than 300 acres of mountain views and rustic barns, owner Alison Wagner focuses on the event side while leasing out most of the land to a local farmer who keeps his horses on the property. The horses even guest star in the site’s promotional video and receive five stars in venue reviews.

Another creative pairing that can help to support an expensive equestrian operation is agritourism. Hipcamp, the rural version of Airbnb, has been around since 2013 but enjoyed a significant pandemic boost. Hipcamp and its cousin, Farm Stays, have capitalized on the desire of travelers to enjoy unique rural experiences.

Choices range from collecting a nightly fee from a tent camper or RV driver to renting out your farmhouse or having a guest shadow you for a week or more.

Leasing, nightly rentals, offering trail rides, lessons, boarding, and other services can mean the difference between operating a profitable business venture or eating the never-ending expenses that come with owning a few horses. Because you can never keep just one horse.

Whether you’re self-sufficient or need to generate income, partner with a local REALTOR® who knows horses and area horse farms. That expertise is invaluable in finding and evaluating potential properties.

THE

Before jumping in with both feet, make sure your REALTOR® completely understands your goals. If you have adequate resources, you and your REALTOR® can focus on the best land and infrastructure. If you need to generate income from the farm, make sure to do the necessary legwork upfront. You don’t want to find out after the purchase that your income generating idea is disallowed by zoning or other restrictions.

So when you’re out at the Foxfield Races this Saturday, allow yourself to dream a little. Picture going home from the races with enough daylight left to take your own horse out for a leisurely ride along the ridge. Then look forward to living the equestrian lifestyle all summer on your Central Virginia horse farm.
