“This is a book of wide synthesis and trenchant commentary. Keep it near to hand for those all-toofrequent moments when you hear someone using World War II to justify yet another horrific military adventure.” —Nicholson Baker “Swanson demolishes the myths by amassing a huge number of facts, all carefully documented, and leaves us the true, if unpalatable but liberating, history of WWII.” —Kent D. Shifferd “If you, like me, thought that WWII was the exceptional ‘good war,’ think again. David Swanson brilliantly cuts through the myths surrounding WWII, and in the process cuts through the fog of all wars.” —Medea Benjamin

“David Swanson passionately debunks many of the common arguments used to justify the horrific violence of WWII.” —Scott J. Shapiro

One of the most common topics of U.S. books, films, and other cultural productions, World War II, may also be one of the most misunderstood — with that misunderstanding wildly misused to justify ghastly horrors.

Here’s a new analysis of well-established facts worth picking up from your local bookstore, the author’s website, or the top of the next book-burning bonfire before it’s lit.

aving colorful homemade posters and blue union authorization cards, several dozen Albemarle County teachers and community members rallied in front of the County Office Building last Thursday evening, urging the county school board to allow school employees to unionize. In late March, the Albemarle Education Association submitted to the board a draft collective bargaining resolution, which supporters say could boost pay, improve contracts, and provide other benefits. More than two-thirds of teachers, transportation staff, and school nurses have signed union cards.

After the crowd marched into the building, several teachers and union supporters told the school board about the desperate need for collective bargaining. The resolution was listed on the meeting’s agenda as an information item, but it was not discussed.

FOIA fracas

Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler has been banned from UVA Grounds again—and this time, for good. Last week, the University Police Department renewed its no-trespassing order—issued after Kessler threatened students at UVA’s School of Law library in 2018— against the University of Virginia grad. The university’s no-trespassing orders against nearly a dozen other white supremacists are set to expire in October.

And stay out

After receiving dozens of pages of redacted emails and letters in response to his FOIA requests from the City of Charlottesville last month, civil rights attorney Jeff Fogel—along with local activists Cherry Henley and Tanesha Hudson, and journalist Dave McNair—filed a lawsuit claiming the city violated their constitutional rights and FOIA rules by refusing to disclose how much it paid out in police misconduct settlements from 2017 to 2021.

In its FOIA response, the city claimed that several state codes allowed it to redact “personnel information,” information covered by “attorney-client privilege,” and attorney “work product,” reports The Daily Progress. Fogel disagrees that these codes applied to all five of the cases included in the response.

When the city’s insurer, the Virginia Risk Sharing Association, pays out settlements, claimants are required to sign non-disclosure agreements. The plaintiffs want Charlottesville Circuit Court to issue a declaratory judgment that the city’s non-disclosure policy violates the First Amendment, as well as prohibit the city from enforcing Hudson’s non-disclosure agreement related to her settlement and award them attorney’s fees and other costs, according to the joint complaint.

or the first time since the death of their son Otto, Cindy and Fred Warmbier returned to the University of Virginia last week, as the fifth anniversary of his passing nears. While touring North Korea, the then-third-year UVA commerce student was accused of attempting to steal a political banner, and sentenced to 15 years in prison. After being imprisoned for 17 months, the 22-year-old was released back to the U.S. in a state of “unresponsive wakefulness” in June 2017. He died a week later.

Around 100 community members gathered in Nau Hall for the event, during which Warmbier’s parents and friends honored his life and impact. Think Again, a faculty-led initiative promoting free speech at UVA, hosted the gathering.

Warmbier’s parents called on their son’s friends in attendance to describe his character, and detailed what they have done to achieve justice for their son, including successfully suing North Korea and passing legislation against the country’s regime.

Class of 2017 alumnus Billy Burgess, Warmbier’s close friend and fraternity brother, described him as intelligent and loving. He described Warmbier’s support for his friends and affectionately called him “pretty weird” for his thrifted collection of Gucci sweaters and his love of ’80s and ’90s hip-hop culture.

Despite what happened to Warmbier in North Korea, Burgess encouraged the audience not to shy away from engaging in new experiences. “I think Otto would want you to go experience those cultures,

to learn something new, to talk to somebody that you might not want to talk to initially, to reach out to a stranger,” he said.

North Korean defector and human rights advocate Yeonmi Park gave an emotional account of life under a dictator and her eventual escape. After leaving North Korea, Park struggled to find the words to explain the oppression she faced—she had never been given the vocabulary to describe it.

“In North Korea, we do not have the word stress, because how can you be stressed in a socialist paradise? We don’t have a word for depression. We do not even have a word for love,” she said.

UVA law professor Sai Prakash called into question the authenticity of Warmbier’s confession and said he was used to send a message to the United States and the world. Fred Warmbier later called the confession “a completely made up farce.”

While acknowledging the imperfections of the American justice system, Prakash placed it in direct contrast with the North Korean dictatorship.

“We have a system of rights, a system of checks and balances, a system of separated powers,” said Prakash. “Although we don’t always perfectly follow these rules, we try to do so, and our attempts, however imperfect, matter.”

The Warmbiers urged the audience not to walk away from the event with a sense of despair, but a desire to spread positivity.

“Otto was about positivity,” said Fred Warmbier. “If we don’t live a life of positivity, then what message does that send to our children and the rest of the world that [North Korea is] allowed to do this?”

uring a heated one-day veto session last week, the Virginia General Assembly killed Governor Glenn Youngkin’s amendments that would have created two new misdemeanor crimes for possessing more than two ounces of marijuana, accompanied by potential fines and jail time. The controversial legislation also would have banned the sale of Delta-8—a popular form of THC that gives users a less potent high than regular weed—starting in October.

The Democratic-controlled Senate initially rejected Youngkin’s amendments, which would have allowed the governor to sign or veto the original bill prohibiting marijuana products in the shape of a human, animal, vehicle, or fruit. However, after a lengthy debate, the senators decided to send the bill to the Rehabilitation and Social Services Committee, taking the new crimes off the table—at least until next year.

Since Virginia legalized marijuana last year, the laws surrounding the drug have continued to stir up debate among legislators. While adults 21 and over can legally possess up to one ounce of marijuana and grow up to four plants at home, it will not be legal to sell it until 2024. Individuals found guilty of possessing more than an ounce—but less than a pound—are subject to a $25 civil fine. (Possessing more than a pound remains a felony.)

Multiple racial justice groups rallied against the governor’s amendments, which they said would have had a disproportionate impact on Black people. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, Black people are nearly four times more likely than white people to be arrested for marijuana possession, even though both use the drug at about the same rate.

“This re-criminalization of possession is really just a re-targeting of law enforcement back on Black and brown people in Virginia,” says Chelsea Higgs Wise, executive director of Marijuana Justice. “You’re separating families, you’re putting people in a cage, and you’re now putting up barriers to housing and education.”

Last month, the CannaJustice Coalition— including Marijuana Justice, Rise for Youth, Justice Forward Virginia, and the Virginia Student Power Network—delivered a petition signed by more than 1,300 supporters to the General Assembly, urging it to not create any new marijuana crimes, among other demands. Instead, the coalition says legislators should focus on resentencing the hundreds of people incarcerated for using a now-legal substance.

“We are also disappointed that legislators and even some advocates are publicly discuss-

Governor Glenn Youngkin was handed a defeat by the General Assembly last week.

“You’re separating families, you’re putting people in a cage, and you’re now putting up barriers to housing and education.”

CHELSEA HIGGS WISE, MARIJUANA JUSTICE

ing which new crimes would be more acceptable than other new possession crimes, when the demand should be no new crimes,” adds Higgs Wise. “If we can’t agree on that, then we definitely can’t agree on who should be making the millions and billions of profit.”

The proposed penalties would have taken the state’s criminal justice reform efforts a step backwards. Last year, Virginia automatically sealed all records of misdemeanor possession with intent to distribute marijuana, including arrests, charges, and convictions. And in 2020, all records of misdemeanor simple possession were sealed.

The death of Youngkin’s amendments comes after the Republican-controlled House killed a bill earlier this year that would have allowed licensed medical dispensaries and 10 industrial hemp processors to begin selling recreational weed in September, but prohibited other retailers from selling the drug until 2024. Some advocacy groups protested against the proposed law, claiming it would give corporations an unfair advantage and increase enforcement in marginalized communities.

Legislators are expected to discuss early sales again next year.

However, marijuana advocates like Virginia NORML continue to urge legislators

to crack down on unregulated marijuana products, and establish a legal market as soon as possible. Over the past year, products like Delta-8 have increasingly popped up in convenience stores, smoke shops, and other businesses across the state, causing some users to experience adverse effects.

“Unregulated products containing synthetically-derived THC will continue to be sold at retail and wholesale outside of the strict regulatory oversight currently required for legally produced cannabis products,” said JM Pedini, executive director of Virginia NORML, in a press release. “Consumers deserve to know what they’re purchasing, and far too often what’s on the label is not what’s in the package.”

Still, Pedini points to a new law improving the state’s medical cannabis program as a victory for NORML this year. Starting in July, patients who have received written certification from a medical provider will no longer have to go through the lengthy process of registering with the Board of Pharmacy—they will be allowed to shop at a medical dispensary right away. There are currently around 8,000 patients waiting to access the program.

Higgs Wise remains worried about what the next legislative session will bring, and anticipates another tough fight to keep new marijuana crimes off the books.

“I am hoping that by then there will be one or at least a few champions that step up for legalization and will carry a bill that has our true demands in it,” she says. “We do not have to rush to legalize [sales] next session…It’s not just about the criminality but also the commercialization that is going to lead towards exploitation [and] leaving out small entrepreneurs.”

“We’re ready to hold the line strong,” she adds.

“We want to make sure we’re using taxpayer’s dollars wisely,” says Brown.

Van Clief shares her former fellow board members’ assessment that a jail renovation is badly needed. In fact, she says she’s the one who brought deplorable conditions in the women’s quarters to the board’s attention. “It was exposed metal, sharp, that you would get tetanus [from] or be cut,” she says, describing filthy conditions and a lack of natural light or fresh air.

Her concerns, she insists, stemmed from her desire to inform the public about the project before so much money is committed.

“We don’t want to put all of our resources right into just housing people,” she says.

“We were about to make some decisions that would affect the future for the next 50 years, that could affect generations of people as to what the criminal justice system and our facilities and our whole entire approach as a community would be like.”

C-VILLE Weekly reached out to other ACRJ board members with questions about the renovation and Van Clief ’s removal over her vote. None would comment on Van Clief, but City Councilor Sena Magill says she believes the estimated cost is reasonable.

“Having just passed $68 million for a school revamp, for one school, $50 million for a jail does not seem that far-fetched,” Magill says. “Not if we want a place that’s actually climate controlled.”

Albemarle County Sheriff Chan Bryant agreed with Van Clief that the resolution to notify the state was moved on with “lightning speed” to avoid missing the state deadline. Both she and Charlottesville Sheriff James Brown voted in favor of the resolution

Luminaries jump into the fray Montpelier descendants offer board nominations, call for staff reinstatements

By Courteney Stuart courteney@c-ville.com

Some claim that Montpelier’s current toxic atmosphere began when Roy Young (top) became CEO in 2020. Foundation board chair Gene Hickok (bottom) has been under fire since he announced in April that new MCD-recommended board members would be installed in two tranches.

Montpelier, is not just for Montpelier, but as a representative of the struggle that a lot of cultural sites are going through around the country and what the implications are nationally for solving this problem locally.”

Much of the conflict’s resolution now rests on the timing of the installation of the MDCrecommended board members. After initially

our move, Montpelier Foundation.

That was the message delivered by the Montpelier Descendants Committee at an April 28 press conference announcing a slate of 20 candidates for nine spots on the Montpelier Foundation board and demanding the reinstatement of fired staff members who led the archaeological work at the fourth U.S. president’s former home.

The MDC’s list of board nominees descended from enslaved workers at Montpelier was offered amid an escalating conflict between the MDC and the foundation board over the board’s June 2021 vote to create “structural parity” with descendants by allowing MDC to recommend at least half the foundation’s board members.

“Throughout the Black community in the country, a lot of folks have been paying attention to the developments at Montpelier,” says MDC’s attorney Greg Werkheiser, co-founder of the Richmond-based Cultural Heritage Partners law firm. “And when we reached out to a lot of the luminaries…across public policy, politics, history, law, journalism, finance, philanthropy, and we said, are you willing to jump into the fray here and help us resolve this and return Montpelier to a reputation of respected leadership? You know, the vast majority of people said yes.”

Among the names on the MDC’s list are journalist Soledad O’Brien; Michael Blakey, National Endowment for the Humanities professor of anthropology, Africana studies and American studies at The College of William & Mary; and Reverend Cornell Brooks, former CEO of the NAACP and professor at Harvard Kennedy School.

Their willingness to serve, Werkheiser says, is “a testament to how important they think that resolution of this situation, this crisis at

NEWS commitments they appear to be making in public now. And they can also continue to fire people as they’ve been doing.”

On Monday, May 2, the foundation appeared to capitulate to the MDC’s demand.

“The board agrees to vote on the MDC nominees, as proposed by the Committee, with all assuming active Board membership at the same time,” a new foundation statement reads. Werkheiser responded to the new statement with a request for confirmation that all nine new MDCnominated candidates will be voted into service and have full voting powers effective at the close of the May 16 meeting; that the only business that will be taken up on May 16 is the vote to install the nine new members; and that the membership status of current board members will not be considered on May 16. He had not received a response from the foundation by C-VILLE Weekly press time.

The new foundation statement does not respond to the MDC’s other demand—that

Could the National Trust revoke Montpelier’s lease?

facebook.com/cville.weekly

But in an email, National Trust spokesperson Matt Montgomery says the agreement doesn’t allow the trust to revoke the lease.

“It places the ability to revoke with the foundation only,” Montgomery says.

While straight revocation of the lease may be in question, the agreement contains provisions for dispute resolution between the foundation and the National Trust.

In the event of a dispute, the agreement calls for the creation of a task force consisting of three members: one appointed by the foundation, one appointed by the trust, and one appointed by agreement of both. The task force has three months from formation to make a binding recommendation for resolving the dispute.

The National Trust declined to comment on whether it will activate the dispute resolution clause.

@cville_weekly

Dozens of national historic organizations have publicly condemned the Montpelier Foundation board’s recent actions. Among them is the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which owns Montpelier and leases it to the foundation in a cooperative agreement.

The agreement was signed October 1, 2000, and provides a lease that renews every five years. That makes the next renewal date October 1, 2025.

C-VILLE Weekly legal analyst Scott Goodman reviewed the lease and says the National Trust may have the power to take action against the foundation.

“In my opinion, nothing prevents the trust from doing anything it wants to do in this situation, given the apparent threat to the viability of Montpelier and arguable inability of the foundation to continue to carry out Montpelier’s mission. Carrying out that mission is the very purpose of the lease,” he explained.

Montpelier staff who were fired after speaking out on behalf of descendants be reinstated.

Those firings have created a “culture of fear,” according to a statement signed by “a majority of full-time and a growing number of part-time Montpelier staff ” on the new website, montpelierstaff.com. The staff statement alleges archaeological digs have been abandoned, data is at risk, and it accuses foundation board leadership of violating federal law.

The toxic atmosphere at Montpelier began under the leadership of Young, who became CEO two years ago, according to one of the longtime staff member who was fired.

“It became rapidly clear they had their own ideas,” says Matthew Reeves, who worked at Montpelier for 22 years and served as Montpelier’s director of archaeology and landscaping restoration until his firing April 18. “There wasn’t a lot of time and care spent understanding the institutional history of work we had done with the community.”

Reeves says Young and Hickok were concerned about losing a million-dollar state grant awarded to Montpelier for memorialization of the lives of enslaved workers.

That fear led to the board’s historic vote for structural parity with the MDC in June 2021, but Reeves describes it as “contentious.”

“That was a vote that they were forced into not only because of the $1 million grant, but also there were several staff, including myself and [Montpelier Vice President Elizabeth Chew], who threatened to resign if the board vote was no. And this was presented to the board...during that board meeting. And that turned the no vote…into a yes vote. And so this conflict had been simmering for a year by the time that vote happened,” Reeves says.

In an email response, Young claims the data and archaeological sites are being protected by experts, but Reeves says the situation at Montpelier makes it unlikely the archaeological work can continue.

“At this point, it would be very difficult for this board under the current leadership to ever hire archaeologists again,” he says. “You just look at what archaeological organizations all across the nation have written, and censured what Montpelier is doing with the descendant committee. I am not going to rest until all of the…data is safely put away and protected.”

The foundation’s actions have also rattled donors, including Orange County farmer Bill Speidan, who first visited Montpelier as a child in the early 1940s. Speidan says he’s been an annual donor for many years, knows Reeves and the other staff members who were fired, and has been shocked by what has unfolded.

“It’s unconscionable to fire people that have been…with you 22 years doing their job,” he says, noting that Young is the first Montpelier Foundation CEO he’s never met. “I would certainly hesitate to donate further if they do not take advantage of what work Matt Reeves and others have done there,” he says.

The foundation’s new statement doesn’t mention any change in leadership, but it does strike a conciliatory tone. “The path to parity requires a spirit of collaboration,” it reads. “We look forward to that collaboration and to working together for the benefit of Montpelier.”

blaming the MDC for the communication breakdown as national outrage mounted in early April, foundation board chair Gene Hickok and Montpelier CEO Roy Young offered a compromise. The board would select nine new MDC-recommended members from a list of 15 names. The catch? The new MDC-recommended board members would be installed in two tranches. Some would be fully installed in July, while the others would take their place on the board in October.

MDC wasn’t satisfied with that offer.

“Essentially what it means is that they’re going to take these new board members and appoint them to the positions, but give them no power. And there’s a couple of reasons they’ve offered for that, none of which passes the smell test, frankly,” says Werkheiser. “If they do do that, they would essentially be preserving their voting majority, the current board’s voting majority, for months.

And they would have the opportunity, once the press turns its attention away from this controversy, to simply reverse any of the

hile developing the choreography for Connections, its original production that premieres May 7, Charlottesville Ballet had some big questions.

For answers, the company, coming off a two-year pandemic hiatus, turned to its own dance academy, outreach programs, and the broader Charlottesville community, and asked: What does freedom mean to you? and When did you feel a true sense of belonging?

Ballet, says Emily Hartka, Charlottesville Ballet’s co-director, is “a mirror of what happens in our society.” And she wanted suggestions for how to “tell the stories of our time.”

Connections, created in collaboration with the Charlottesville Symphony, Lighthouse Studios, and the UVA Democracy Initiative, explores the power of dance to connect and unite. It features works by four choreographers of color from Virginia and Washington, D.C., and includes traditional pieces, such as Brandye Lee’s “Req,” and Maggie Small’s “A La Folie,” as well as Jason Ambrose’s contemporary work, “For Now I Am…,” which includes a stunning array of rotating mirrors.

The centerpiece of the performance is Keith Lee’s “The Orion Constellations.” Lee, the company’s artist laureate and director of diversity and inclusion, used the community’s responses to inspire five choreographed movements, and asked the respondents to record themselves performing those movements. With the help of Lighthouse Studios, the recordings became projections that will be shown as a backdrop to the dancers during “The Orion Constellations.” Lee says this virtual community cast is a powerful example of “Charlottesville Ballet’s work to bring accessibility and inclusion to the art of ballet.”

The first African American soloist at the American Ballet Theater in 1970, Lee has choreographed for companies across the U.S., and in Connections, his work ranges from Le Corsaire, a traditional ballet from 1856, to “Just Make Believe,” a piece that reflects on 2017’s Unite the Right Rally.

In tandem with the premiere, audience members are invited to attend Democracy & Dance, a discussion panel that features Lee and Brandye Lee (no relation), as well as Dr. Marie Chee, who instructs CB’s 50-and-older dance program, and Christina Johnson, a guest coach who’s featured in Misty Copeland’s book Black Ballerinas. The conversation will center around using performing arts to unite people, asking how dance can help create an inclusive public culture.

Charlottesville Ballet began as a professional company, and Hartka and co-director

Charlottesville Ballet returns after a two year hiatus to present Connections, a collaborative effort between professional choreographers and the Charlottesville community.

Sarah Clayborne were only 19 and 20 years old when they founded it in 2007. The pair, who met while dancing for Richmond Ballet, grew up in the professional ballet world, and had concerns about it. Hartka experienced group weigh-ins and demands to conform to a certain body type, which she says contributed to years of struggling with eating disorders. “We couldn’t articulate it at the time, but we knew there had to be a better way,” she says. “We had a vision of a company that would respect its artists.”

At CB, their vision celebrates ballet options for every body type and removing barriers to dance classes. The organization also prioritizes health and wellness in training. “We bring science and education to the curriculum, such as physiology on how the body functions and moves,” she says. “That’s not always standard in the classical ballet world [that believes] you either have the jump, or the body, or the turnout, or you don’t.”

In the early years, Hartka and Clayborne would joke that their professional company was a rehab for dancers unaccustomed to wellness-centered training. Then they realized that joke reflected a dire need. “Wait— maybe [ballet education] shouldn’t traumatize the children from age 3 on,” Hartka

“We had a vision of a company that would respect its artists.”

remembers discussing. “Maybe we should start at a young age with healthy training, so they don’t have to come to us for rehab.”

In 2011, they began the Charlottesville Ballet Academy, and what started as a program with 60 students now has 600, with classes in ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop.

The third tier of Charlottesville Ballet is the community outreach program, CB Moves.

The classes are free and for those underrepresented in the ballet world, including seniors, Parkinson’s patients, and students with disabilities. CB Moves also partners with public elementary schools for classes and opportunities to win lifetime scholarships to the Charlottesville Ballet Academy.

“We’re trying to follow [our core values of accessibility and inclusion] in an authentic way and live it every day,” says Hartka. Connections, with its focus on community and diverse voices in dance, is just another part of that…“a celebration, but also a moment of reflection on the ties between us all.”

hen it comes to wine, it can be easy to focus on education and use facts, legality, and tradition in your approach. What does a particular grape variety taste like, or what should it taste like? What laws govern wine of a certain style or from a certain place? What defines “quality” in a wine? How do I know if a wine is good? It is important, though, not to lose sight of another aspect of wine: a creative expression of personal taste. Wine can occupy a magical space, facilitating the exchange of ideas, bringing people together in fellowship around the table, and, in doing so, binding people together in community.

Oenoverse (“oeno” is Latin for wine) is a new wine club concept from Blenheim Vineyards that was designed to pair community and discussion. Every two months, members receive wines chosen by a rotating wine enthusiast or wine professional, appointed for their knowledge and their ongoing support of Blenheim Vineyards—and that’s just the beginning.

Tracey Love, the director of marketing and events at Blenheim, says that Oenoverse is different from traditional clubs because it aims to be “experiential.”

With every membership, entry for two people is included for an in-person tasting event led by the person who selected the wines. “Our intention is ensuring that Blenheim is an inclusive space where everyone is welcome to enjoy, share, and learn about wine,” she says.

“The goal is to share a platform that invites the community together with the focus of wine and conversation.”

Gather, drink, and think These special guests lead the upcoming Blenheim Vineyards’ Oenoverse club conversations.

May/June: Titus Green, sommelier, wine judge, wine rap, wine tasting events July/August: Tasha Durrett, wine lover and founder of Black Women Who Wine September/October: Matt Harmon, winemaker and CEO of Harmony Wine November/December: Jason Becton, wine professional and owner of Mariebette and Petite Mariebette

led the discussion at the club’s kickoff event in April. Ross sees the opportunity to change stereotypes and to empower people who may view themselves as outside the traditional wine community. “I like that I could be wildly wrong about these [wine and food] pairings, and that Oenoverse makes space for conversations to start… I think casual wine drinkers could learn to take more chances in the wine aisle if they had a safety net of ‘you have your own neural pathways. You can talk about wine however you want.’”

Love explains that space is the limiting factor as things get started. “We are hoping that the Oenoverse stays a manageable size because we’d prefer the in-person tasting events to stay intimate, but will adapt depending on whatever happens,” she says. “We can expand to the tent or offer a virtual option if we need to. The more the merrier!”

At the same time, when your founding principles are community, inclusivity, and diversity, growth seems almost inevitable.

Leonard is careful with his words. “So far, it’s a Blenheim thing,” he says. “The idea… is transcendent enough to expand to more regional wineries, and it even has the legs to be a far-reaching club with chapters. Hopefully, in seeing conversations led by members and leaders of various communities, more of our community can see themselves being a part of the Oenoverse.”

As Love frames it: “We all have work to do pushing the wine industry to be more inclusive and diverse. This is one small step towards growing our wine community.”

Reggie Leonard, who has hosted similar events, will serve as master of ceremonies at each tasting. With Oenoverse, Leonard, the associate director for career connections and community engagement at UVA’s School of Data Science, combines an expertise in community engagement with his burgeoning passion for wine. He describes the new club as “inclusive by design” and a “collective experience,” rather than the traditional club member pick-up, where you get your wine and retreat to your respective corner or friend group. “You’ll definitely make new friends and have new reference points for wine after attending a club event,” he says.

By Rob Brezsny

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Gemini (May 21–June 20): The Italian language used to be a dialect spoken in Tuscany. That area comprises less than eight percent of the country’s territory. How did such a dramatic evolution happen? Why did a local dialect supersede other dialects like Piedmontese, Neapolitan, Sicilian, and others? In part, it was because three potent 14th-century writers wrote in the Tuscan dialect: Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarch, and Giovanni Boccaccio. Another reason: Because Tuscany is centrally located in Italy, its dialect was less influenced by languages in France and other nearby countries. I offer this as a metaphor for you in the coming months. One of your personal talents, affiliations, or inclinations could become more influential and widespread— and have more authority in your life.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “Always strive to be more interested than interesting,” said actor and activist Jane Fonda. That may not be easy for you to accomplish in the near future, dear Cancerian. Your curiosity will be at peak levels, but you may also be extra compelling and captivating. So I’ll amend Fonda’s advice: Give yourself permission to be both as interested and as interesting as you can imagine. Entertain the world with your lively personality as you go in quest of new information, fresh perceptions, and unprecedented experiences.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “When in doubt, act like God,” proclaimed Leo singer-songwriter Madonna. I wouldn’t usually endorse that advice.

But I’ll make an exception for you Leos during the next three weeks. Due to a divine configuration of astrological omens, you are authorized to ascend to new heights of sovereignty and self-possession—even to the point of doing a vivid God impersonation.

For best results, don’t choose an angry, jealous, tyrannical deity to be your role model. Pattern yourself after a sweeter, funnier, more intimate type of celestial being.

Virgo

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z tells us, “Don’t ever go with the flow. Instead, be the flow.” Here’s what I think he means: If we go with the flow, we adjust and accommodate ourselves to a force that is not necessarily aligned with our personal inclinations and needs. To go with the flow implies we are surrendering our autonomy. To claim our full sovereignty, on the other hand, we are wise to be the flow. We should create our own flow, which is just right for our unique inclinations and needs. I think this is the right approach for you right now, Taurus. Be the flow. simmer down, stop worrying, lighten up, compose myself, and mellow out.” So I invited her to take deep breaths, close her eyes, and visualize herself immersed in blue-green light.

Then I asked her to name influences she loved: people, animals, natural places, music, books, films, art, and physical movements that made her feel happy to be alive. She came up with eight different sources of bliss, and together we meditated on them. Half an hour later, she was as relaxed as she had been in months. I recommend you try a comparable exercise every day for the next 14 days. Be proactive about cultivating tranquil delight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Anne Lamott is renowned for her tender approach to expressing her struggles with addiction, depression, and other tribulations. One of her supreme tests was being a single mother who raised her son Sam. In this effort, she was her usual plucky self. Anytime she hosted playdates with Sam’s young friends at her home, she called on the help of crayons and paint and pens and clay and scissors. “When we did art with the kids, the demons would lie down,” she testified. I recommend a comparable strategy for you in the coming days, Libra. You will have extra power as you tame, calm, or transform your demons. Making art could be effective, as well as any task that spurs your creativity and imagination.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “My heart has developed a kind of amnesia, where it remembers everything but itself,” writes Scorpio poet Sabrina Benaim. If you suffer a condition that resembles hers, it’s about to change.

According to my astrological analysis, your heart will soon not only remember everything; it will also remember itself. What a blissful homecoming that will be—although

it may also be unruly and confounding, at least in the beginning. But after the initial surprise calms down, you will celebrate a dramatic enhancement of emotionally rich self-knowledge. You will feel united with the source of your longing to love and be loved.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Just because things hadn’t gone the way I had planned didn’t necessarily mean they had gone wrong,” writes Sagittarian author Ann Patchett. Her thought may be helpful for you to meditate on. My guess is that you will ultimately be glad that things didn’t go the way you planned. God or your Higher Self or the Mysterious Forces of Destiny will conspire to lead you away from limited expectations or not-big-enough visions so as to offer you bigger and better blessings.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Novelist Jane Austen confessed she was a “wild beast.” Really? The author who wrote masterfully about the complex social lives of wealthy British people? Here’s my theory: The wild beast in her made her original, unsentimental, humorous, and brilliant in creating her stories.

How is your own inner wild beast, Capricorn? According to my reading of the astrological omens, now is an excellent time to give it fun, rich assignments. What parts of your life would benefit from tapping into raw, primal energy?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jack Gilbert wrote, “I lie in the dark wondering if this quiet in me now is a beginning or an end.”

I don’t know how Gilbert solved his dilemma. But I suspect you will soon be inclined to pose a similar question. In your case, the answer will be that the quiet in you is a beginning. Ah! But in the early going, it may

not resemble a beginning. You might be puzzled by its fuzzy, meandering quality. But sooner or later, the quiet in you will become fertile and inspirational. You will ride it to the next chapter of your life story.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The genre of poetry known as haiku often relies on unexpected juxtapositions. Critic R. H. Blyth observed, “In haiku, the two entirely different things that are joined in sameness are poetry and sensation, spirit and matter.” I suspect your life in the coming weeks will have metaphorical resemblances to haikus. You will be skilled at blending elements that aren’t often combined, or that should be blended but haven’t been. For inspiration, read these haikus by Raymond Roseliep. 1. in the stream / stones making half / the music. 2. horizon / wild swan drifting through / the woman’s body. 3. birthcry! / the stars / are all in place. 4. bathwater / down the drain / some of me. 5. grass / holding the shape / of our night. 6. campfire extinguished, / the woman washing dishes / in a pan of stars.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Poet Jennifer Willoughby writes, “I am so busy. I am practicing my new hobby of watching me become someone else. There is so much violence in reconstruction. Every minute is grisly, but I have to participate. I am building what I cannot break.” I wouldn’t describe your own reconstruction process during recent months as “violent” or “grisly,” Aries, but it has been strenuous and demanding. The good news is that you have mostly completed the most demanding work. Soon the process will become more fun. Congratulations on creating an unbreakable new version of yourself!

Careers that Reach for the Stars…

Radio Astronomy has profoundly broadened our understanding of our universe, enabling new discoveries, opening new celestial windows, revealing an otherwise invisible universe. Founded in 1956, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. In addition, NRAO provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The Central Development Lab at NRAO develops cutting-edge technology for the next generation of scientific instruments on NRAO’s telescopes. The Laboratory is recruiting for the following positions offering active and important roles on the CDL team.

An Administrative Assistant to support the Director of the Laboratory in a variety of roles and functions.

The selectee will report to the CDL Director and will provide high-level administrative support in a variety of functions including: managing schedules, assisting in making travel itineraries for laboratory staff, correspondence; planning and coordinating visitors and tours of the laboratory; and assisting in shipping and receiving, including international shipments of scientific equipment.

This position will also have one direct report. The position is often an external-facing representative of CDL and NRAO, so it requires a high degree of professionalism, confidentiality, tact, and discretion with internal and external clients. Must be highly organized and have strong verbal and written communication skills. Must be able to work independently, anticipating the needs of the Central Development Lab, and when needed, the greater Observatory, and take appropriate steps to respond.

The Millimeter/Submillimeter receiver group seeks RF Technicians/Technical Specialists to build and test components for cryogenic receivers for radio telescopes and is currently designing a new receiver for the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), https://www.almaobservatory.org, which will require ~70 such receivers.

These positions include assembling and wirebonding microwave components under a microscope, measuring components using VNAs, measuring receiver noise temperatures, and building microwave measurement systems.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Other positions will be responsible for measuring the performance of microwave components and receivers and help build new test systems. Knowledge of RF testing and analog/digital circuits is required to help debug existing test systems and build new ones. A knowledge of microwave noise and gain measurements is highly desirable.

One position will assemble microwave components under a microscope which requires excellent hand-eye coordination to manipulate millimeter size components.

Experience in wirebonding is desired along with experience testing these electronic devices. This position requires an Associate’s degree in electrical engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

In addition to competitive pay, we provide excellent paid time off benefits (vacation and sick leave). Medical, dental and vision plans are effective on the first day of employment. Our retirement benefit contributes an amount equal to 10 percent of a qualified participant’s base pay. No contribution is required of the employee; we also offer an optional supplemental, tax-deferred plan for employee retirement contributions.

Beautiful, Convenient & Affordable

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

M

allory Lamb grew up on a farm near Ruckersville and left to attend college at Virginia Tech. Eventually, she returned; yes, to be close to family, but there was something else drawing her back. It turns out she was spoiled.

Growing up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Rapidan River, surrounded by family and friendly neighbors, can spoil a person so nothing else is quite good enough. So Mallory decided not to fight it and came back

to the landscape, the family, and the neighbors she loved.

Fast forward a decade or more and Greene County still draws people who love being immersed in nature and the rural network of family and neighbors.

At the same time, the southern part of the county is developing into something decidedly busier and more urban.

Two Greene Counties Despite what the map shows, there seem to be two Greene Counties: one that is rural (and off the beaten path), and another that bustles with retail and

services, along with some of the most appealing, affordable, and convenient housing within striking distance of Charlottesville.

Both facets of the county are in demand.

With US 29 running the length of the county through Ruckersville, it makes sense that it is the county’s most significant business corridor. Only miles from Washington, 90 miles from Richmond, and 15 miles from Charlottesville, Greene offers an enviable location and an affordable option for businesses and commuters alike.

Associate Broker Trey Durham, with

MAY 4 - 10, 2022 ISSUE 3118

56 Keller Williams Alliance, describes the

rural–urban split. “Greene has long been a dichotomy of markets. In the southern portion of Greene, there are ‘bedroom’ communities for folks employed in Charlottesville.

“Buyers can get more house for their money, so folks who like a little more land or house or both find Greene attractive. It’s also an easier drive to Charlottesville from Greene County…than from many places in Albemarle County.”

As nearby cities and towns become more congested and housing prices rise, Greene becomes even more appealing.

Factoring in real estate taxes only reinforces the affordability differences.

Greene County’s tax rate is $.82 per $100.

Compare that to Albemarle County’s rate of $.854 per $100. Charlottesville’s tax rate will increase by a penny on July 1 to $.96 per $100. These differences add up.

Rural Living US 33 crosscuts Greene County east to west, intersecting US 29 at Ruckersville.

You don’t have to drive too far north, east, or west out of Ruckersville before the urban density wanes and you’re back in the rolling hills and farmland.

“Northern and western parts of Greene have always been a bit more rural and remote,” says Durham. “Buyers here tend to be folks looking for peace and quiet.”

That’s exactly what they’ll find as they follow US 33 west to the edge of the county and to one of only four public entry points to Shenandoah National Park (SNP). The Swift Run Gap entrance makes it easy for locals to count SNP as part of their backyard, knowing the incredible landscape will always be protected.

The more than 10,500 acres protected by conservation easements in Greene County plus SNP’s 200,000 acres offer a substantial buffer from congestion. It’s tempting to think Greene County will stay rural forever. But there are tremendous pressures on it to grow.

Durham says, “This area will continue to draw folks who want to be close to the park and those who want to have a little more elbow room and enjoy the beautiful vistas of the mountains and countryside.

As high-speed internet expands into this area, the remote parts of Greene County may evolve into a residential destination if people can continue to work from home.”

Builder and REALTOR® Joel Watkins, with Jefferson Land & Realty, has lived in Greene County for most of his life and doesn’t expect that to change. He and his wife are planning a new home for themselves and their four kids and only want to relocate within Greene County.

“This is a very solid place to live. Everything is easier here. We have all the conveniences without the congestion.

Life is just pleasanter in Greene County.

I especially like building here. Everything is within 10 to 15 minutes of my home.”

Even for residents without a farm of their own, a robust farmers market scene from April to October, and farm-to-table restaurants like Jack’s Shop Kitchen in Ruckersville offer local farmers’ bounty.

Take It Outside The mountains, rural countryside, rivers, and streams of Greene County appeal to a wide range of nature enthusiasts. The rocking chair nature lover can gain just as much enjoyment from the scenery as can the hardcore hiker or golf fanatic.

SNP offers more than 500 miles of hiking trails ranging from the 1.3-mile wheelchair-accessible Limberlost Trail to thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. And for those who prefer windshield viewing, the Swift Run Gap entrance to the park puts you at mile 65.5 of the 105-mile Skyline Drive.

Those who like a five iron more than a walking stick are right at home in Greene County as well. Greene Hills Club in Stanardsville is a semi-private 18-hole golf club. With more than 200 acres set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge, golfers may have a hard time keeping their eye on the ball. The driving range, putting green, and pro shop keeps them busy. A pool, tennis courts, and The Hills Grille restaurant round out the package, making Greene Hills Club attractive to everyone.

If they don’t have time for 18 holes, golfers can also work on their game at Highlands Golf Park in Ruckersville, complete with a driving range, pro shop, and miniature golf.

The Rapidan Wildlife Management Area next to SNP plays host to other outdoor activities, including fishing, hunting, trapping, birding, and horseback riding.

Bicyclists looking for quiet roads, beautiful scenery or mountain biking trails find a great infrastructure in Greene County. Mapped road routes range from six miles to 80 miles, from easy to herculean, most with a minimum of traffic.

It’s not too early for cyclists to start getting in shape for the Tour de Greene.

October 8 will be the 16th annual fully supported ride, offering four options. A 40 or 62-mile road ride will travel along beautiful back roads. The 37 or 57-mile gravel ride will kick up a bit more dust.

Count on both rides to include a few hills and a showcasing of Greene County’s most beautiful landscapes.

History and Culture Incorporated in 1794, Stanardsville is the county seat and only official town in Greene County. The entire town is a designated a State and National Historic District, with most of its buildings constructed in the 19th century. The distinctive Lafayette Inn and Restaurant served as a hospital during the Civil War.

It’s tempting to think Greene County will stay rural forever. But there are tremendous pressures on it to grow.

Stanardsville’s rich history is presented in a self-guided walking tour, which begins at the 1838 Greek Revival Courthouse downtown. That same year, the county got its start when it was partitioned from Orange County after farmers complained of the long distance to the county seat.

And what’s history without a few good antiques? Ruckersville is the hot spot for exploring collectibles, vintage goods, and period furniture. Between shops and more than 100 vendor booths in area galleries, there’s a good chance you’ll find the right piece to liven up your home with a bit of history.

Although most people focus on the splendor of SNP, it too has a story to tell.

The park was established in 1935 by piecing together land owned by more than 500 families and individuals. The Blue Ridge Heritage Project honors the sacrifices of those who were forcibly displaced to provide land for the park.

Stone chimneys from some of their homes still stand. A replica chimney monument in Stanardsville memorializes the 179 Greene County families and their lives and culture before giving up their homes and land.

has matched that of surrounding areas.

The 2021 population estimate of 20,968 is a two percent increase from the 2020 census and 14 percent more than in 2010.

Managing that growth is critical to the preservation of the natural assets that make Greene so appealing.

Even in rural areas, growth and catering to the tourist industry can be a source of conflict. Durham reports, “The recent demand for vacation rentals has fueled demand and generated price increases all along the Blue Ridge, even in areas that are way too remote for everyday living.

“Greene County recently changed the zoning code in residential areas to ban vacation rentals and keep these residential communities from becoming transient.”

Last month, a request to expand Sojourner Glamping Greene was rejected

by Greene County Supervisors in a nod to managing growth and maintaining a high quality of life for rural neighbors.

The stretch of US 29 from the county’s southern border to Ruckersville is already developed and is poised for even more growth.

Durham says, “Buyers will continue to come as long as there is something to buy. This area along US 29 is also growing

Other experiences unique to Greene County are the Blue Ridge Barn Quilt Trail and the Virginia Clay Festival. The Quilt Trail shows off more than 125 barn quilt samplers at over 90 sites throughout the county. Find each quilt on barns, sheds, houses, fences, porches, mailboxes, and gardens while touring the picturesque landscape.

The Virginia Clay Festival in Stanardsville is the only one of its kind on the East Coast. This September 17 and 18, the celebration will feature local and visiting potters, sculptors, and jewelers showing and selling their crafts. Live acoustic music and artisan food vendors will round out the atmosphere for this not to be missed festival. For a preview of some of the handcrafted treasures, visit Blue Ridge Pottery and Noon Whistle Pottery near Stanardsville.

commercially in response to the steady influx of people. There are several new developments slated, bringing new homes and businesses to the area.”

One of these is the Villages at Terrace Greene, a mixed-use project between Preddy Creek Road and US 29. Phase One will include 282 townhouses, 30 of which will have ground floor office or retail space.

Mallory Lamb has watched Ruckersville grow over her lifetime. In 2016, she purchased Boot’Vil, a Ruckersville retail boot outfitter where she previously worked in her teens. After buying the shop in 2016 and moving the store to Ruckersville’s Countryside Square in 2020, she had her best year on record in 2021. And she anticipates this year will be even better.

Lamb cherishes the rural nature of Greene County, but recognizes growth can be good if it preserves what’s best about her home. She doesn’t ever want to lose what spoiled her in the first place, the beautiful natural landscapes and the network of family and friends that make Greene County extraordinary.

Newcomers to Greene County can choose the southern built-up area south of Ruckersville or gravitate to the northern and western areas of the county. It’s likely that one or two of Greene’s major attractions draw them here: affordability and access to nature. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Greene’s growth over the past decade

Fund Portals to Build Global Community A portal is a large public communications tool that provides a live video and audio connection between distant parts of the world. It works best in a town or city with a public pedestrian central space. A portal connects one city with one or more other cities, and helps create understanding and friendship.

Inspired by the success of similar projects, we intend to create our own in C-ville and its Sister Cities of Winneba, Ghana; Huehuetenango, Guatemala; Poggio a Caiano, Italy; and Besançon, France. Our goal is to raise the funding for two or, ideally, all five portals and offer it to the City of Charlottesville, or to some other local entity should the city decline. We can do this if we all chip in.
