Surovell had plenty to say about the responsibilities of being an editor—and plenty to say just about her life in general. Growing up, she cultivated a fascination with U.S. presidents, she loves Shakespeare (“I’ve taken every Shakespeare class UVA probably has to offer,” she says), and left her decision to attend UVA up to a Final Four free throw. During the first year of the pandemic, she worked long hours at a hardware store in Alexandria and would virtually attend her discussion classes in the back amongst bags of birdseed. Then, she’d work on Cav Daily assignments all night. In the morning, she’d have to contend with throngs of customers making runs for Lysol. When she talks about this, even she doesn’t know how it all fit together.

“If there’s money for locking people up, there is surely money for treating those in crisis,” added Gloria Beard. “If anything, being locked up creates mental health issues.”
NEWSINBRIEF
“A lot of the critics forget that it is not up to the jail or to the City Council to decide that we are going to imprison people with mental illness,” said Mayor Lloyd Snook in response to concerns voiced during public comment. “It is frankly in most cases the product of judges having no good choice … [or] there’s no other way to protect society from someone who is mentally ill because we have no good way to compel them to receive treatment when they’re on the outside.”

The University of Virginia Police Department has released photos of a person connected to a hate crime at the school, and asked the pub lic to help identify them. On September 7, someone appearing to be a white male wear ing a dark-colored jacket, jeans, and shoes placed a noose—a weapon used to lynch Black people for centuries—around the neck of the Homer statue on central Grounds. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact UPD at 924-7166.

‘People don’t get well in a cell’
DEPARTMENTPOLICEUVA
Former Charlottesville police chief RaShall Brackney is one of three finalists to be the next police chief in Minneapolis, where George Floyd was murdered by MPD officer Derek Chauvin in 2020. In February, Brack ney—who has filed a $10 million wrongful termination lawsuit against the City of Char lottesville—announced that she was retiring from policing, and was appointed as a visit ing professor at George Mason University. The two other MPD chief finalists are Brian O’Hara, deputy mayor of Newark, New Jer sey, and Elvin Barren, Southfield, Michigan’s police chief. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is expected to nominate his top candidate— who will replace recently retired chief Me daria Arradondo—in the coming weeks, according to Patch.com.
Next June, the jail plans to advertise a request for proposals, and hire an architectural engineer for the renovations. Construction is expected to begin in August 2024 and finish in November 2025.

In addition to upgrading and replacing the 46-year-old jail’s HVAC units, electrical systems, lighting, and air filtration, the renovations will add outdoor recreation space, classrooms, programming space, bathrooms, and a larger visitation area. The housing areas will be upgraded with stress-reducing colors, more natural sunlight, and sound-deadening materials. For years, people incarcerated at the jail have called attention to numerous health and sanitary issues, including black mold, poor plumbing, leaky ceilings, standing water, freezing temperatures, and bug infestations.
CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCIL PASSED A RESOLUTION last week supporting the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail’s request for state funding for a massive $49 million renovation project. Jail leadership hopes the state will contribute around $12 million, leaving the three localities that use the facility—the City of Charlot tesville and Albemarle and Nelson counties—on the hook for the rest.
“People don’t get well in a cell,” said Kate Fraleigh. “Those resources should go to community-based programs.”
Out of retirement?
“The only thing we can do is to make sure that if they’re going to require that somebody with a mental illness be locked up, we are at least trying our best to have some way of getting those people at least some help,” added Snook.
The Virginia Board of Local and Regional Jails is expected to vote on ACRJ’s funding request this month. Once it approves the funding, the member jurisdictions will be asked to fund their portion of the renovations, based on the number of people they have incarcerated at the jail.
ACRJ superintendent Martin Kumer emphasized that the renovations will not increase the jail’s capacity—40 beds currently at the jail will be demolished during the renovations, and moved to the new mental health unit upon completion. If a bed is not needed for someone experiencing a mental health crisis, then it will be used for the jail’s general population.

ince interim Charlottesville City Manager Michael Rogers and D.C.-based law firm Venable LLP presented a proposed collective bargain ing ordinance last month, the Amalgam ated Transit Union, Charlottesville Area Transit employees, and other union sup porters have pushed back against numer ous restrictions, including initially limit ing bargaining to police, firefighters, and bus drivers—and keeping certain items, like health and welfare benefits, off the bargaining table.

“If you don’t have a neutral, third-party arbitrator, it’s not really a union to me,” he said during public comment.
During the September 6 City Council meeting, multiple community members urged the city to give all city employees the right to unionize at the same time, and allow them to bargain over benefits and disciplinary procedures, among other ma jor ordinance revisions. However, several called for police to be excluded entirely from bargaining, citing the mass resistance to reforms and accountability shown by police unions across the country.
Daniel Summers, who has driven for CAT for over a decade, also pushed the city to speed up the ordinance’s timeline—to give the city and units time to engage in mediation and fact-finding, Venable has recommended any collective bargaining agreement go into effect on July 1, 2024, meaning employees not included in the initial three units would have to wait until 2026 to unionize.

Community, councilors push for changes to collective bargaining ordinance
Though the proposed ordinance permits the city and a collective bargaining unit to hire a neutral fact-finder to resolve a dispute, the city manager or council can reject the fact-finder’s recommendations. Across the city, supervisors; seasonal, temporary, con fidential, probationary, and management employees; and volunteers would not be allowed to unionize. And units would not be able to bargain over health and welfare benefits, core personnel rules and decisions, and budget matters.

“When people see the zoning opportunity, they get nervous because they think they’re going to have a lot more density in their part of the city. And the reality is, that should have happened 20 years ago,” he says. In his opin ion, the FLUM doesn’t go far enough.

“How this affects affordable housing in our city is one cog in a very, very large machine,” says Beckham, noting that the lack of hous ing inventory does contribute to the high cost of homes and increasing the number of units will relieve some of the market pressure.
Real estate analyst Quinton Beckham, prin cipal broker for K.W. Alliance, agrees with the letter’s claim that higher density alone will not solve the affordable housing crisis.
Councilors Michael Payne and Sena Ma gill pushed for the ordinance to allow bar gaining over all benefits and disciplinary procedures. Payne also supported permit ting non-binding arbitration for non-fiscal matters, and creating a third bargaining unit for general employees—not just police. “If there is a concern about staff capacity, we could phase it in, and limit it to transit and fire department who have come forward with pledge cards, and first-come-first-serve phase in anyone else who comes forward to us,” he Mayorsaid.Lloyd Snook questioned whether binding arbitration over non-fiscal matters, like disciplinary procedures, would com promise the city manager’s authority to hire and fire, and pushed back against calls to ban police from unionizing, claiming that Charlottesville does not have “a history of serious police violence.”
“We could look at making it easier to convert commercial centers to residential housing. We could look at land trusts where the city contributes its own land to developers in exchange for affordable housing,” he says.
The other councilors were either unavailable or did not respond to a request for comment.
Concerned citizens pen letter criticizing ‘upzoning’
sk anyone about Charlottesville’s most pressing problems, and chances are affordable housing will top their list. The city’s new Future Land Use Map, adopted last November as part of the comprehensive plan, has been touted as a solution. It aims to increase housing supply by allowing greater density in every city neighborhood from three units per parcel in general residential areas to more than 13 units per parcel in areas designated high density. While the details of the zoning are still being worked out, the plan has been met with fierce opposition
Redinger also disputes some of the letter’s assertions and says Char lottesville hasn’t kept up with the pace of hous ing demand. He says greater density is overdue.
The Future Land Use map increases density across the city from three units per parcel in general residential to over 13 units in high density areas. A middle density category would allow up to 12 units.
First came a lawsuit from anonymous plain tiffs alleging the city violated state law when it adopted the FLUM. After three of the four complaints in that suit were dismissed by a Charlottesville judge in August, dozens of city residents have now signed an open letter that claims the process to create the Future Land Use Map has been “flawed from the beginning” and that it is not the best way to accomplish the city’s affordable housing goals.

Allowing police to unionize could put a stop to the city’s criminal justice reforms, like the Police Civilian Oversight Board, explained Weaver. Nationwide, police unions have pre vented officers from being held accountable for misconduct, and worked to overturn re forms through collective bargaining. “The police have already shown that they are quite well organized, and that they have the power to get a police chief fired,” added longtime housing activist Brandon Collins.
“I don’t think that we have two classes of employees: police officers and everyone else,” said Snook. “That’s in essence what this ar gument becomes, to say because police of ficers have done bad things in the past, mostly in other places, we’re going to treat them“Dodifferently.”youthink those are things [about binding arbitration] that cannot be ad dressed while still matching what other lo calities in Virginia have done?” asked Payne. “And on the police point, what would you make of the argument that there’s a qualita tive difference with the police because they have a monopoly on the use of the violence, and there’s no other employee that could have the legal authority to kill you?”
Rogers and Venable will consider the community and council’s comments, and return to the councilors with an amended ordinance to vote on during their October 3 meeting.
Vice-Mayor Juandiego Wade, who had just been elected to council last November when the previous council voted to adopt the FLUM, disputes that characterization. He says the actual zoning ordinance will take about a year to be finalized. Even then, coun cil can make adjustments.
“If your goal is to solve housing afford ability, any restrictions or barriers to land use has to be done away with,” he says.
Following public comment on the ordi nance, Councilor Brian Pinkston voiced his support of police officers, but was hesitant to include them in the initial bargaining units. “That’s not a hill I’m going to die on [if] we decide to go forward with the police being a part of the first three, but it’s my sense that the community would prefer for the police to be later, if at all,” he said.
Wade says council is “listening to what people have to say,” but Harway claims better communication and more public input dur ing the process would have reduced some of the current opposition.
“The idea of upzoning is [that] pure density solves the problem, and it’s not been demonstrated in any city that’s tried it.”
“The idea of upzoning is [that] pure den sity solves the problem, and it’s not been demonstrated in any city that’s tried it,” says Martha Smythe, another letter signer.
The letter’s other stated concerns include that the city’s consultants never provided the number of needed units at various levels of affordability, that the Plan did not address the infrastructure needs of the city today or those required to accommodate implied fu ture growth, and that the character of existing neighborhoods is threatened.
While Habitat for Humanity and Piedmont Housing Alliance are the major players in constructing Charlottesville-area affordable housing, Heller believes there are other or ganizations in the country that could do the same work for lower per-unit price.
CITY RESIDENT MARTHA SMYTHE
“Insufficient data was collected, insufficient analysis was done on data, insufficient citizen participation was solicited, which led to a faulty diagnosis of the problem in Charlottes ville with housing affordability, which is lead ing now to a proposed treatment which is not indicated,” says Ben Heller, one of the city residents who signed the letter.
Fuming over FLUM
The controversy is likely to continue as the city completes the zoning process. Heller says more specifically targeted den
Local resident Greg Weaver voiced con cerns about Rogers’ employer, The Robert Bobb Group, and its anti-union track record— as emergency financial manager for Detroit Public Schools, Robert Bobb clashed with local unions when he outsourced hundreds of jobs to private contractors and closed doz ens of schools in 2011.
“The idea of going and upzoning the whole city, if you stop and think about it, feels very much like trying to make amends for past faults and past issues,” says another letter signatory, Philip Harway. The FLUM “feels like our elected and appointed representatives are throwing a Hail Mary pass.”
“If we approve something and two months or two weeks later, we see something needs to be changed, then we can change it,” he says. “I see it as a dynamic process.”
“The fact that a police officer carries a gun to me doesn’t change anything else about the employment relation. It doesn’t mean we give them certain rights, or deny them certain rights,” replied Snook.
By Courteney Stuart courteney@c-ville.com
“I think there’s really an issue of trust with the city that a lot of residents have expressed to us that they do not trust what the city’s doing as being in their best interests,” says Harway. “And, yes, these are mostly middle class folks. But they’ve been paying the taxes for, you know, as long as they have owned homes here. And to ignore them and put them at risk is certainly not a smart move.”
“Every person that we get placed is one less person that strains the system,” he says. Beckham disputes the letter’s claims that higher density creates more traffic—“it’s sprawl that increases traffic”—and says greater density reduces other costs associ ated with Developergrowth.Kyle

While she was watching a Jane Austen movie with her mother, she Googled “Shock ley Bert Ellis controversy.” (“I am notori ously a terrible movie-watcher,” she said. “I cannot pay attention. I’m always on my laptop or doing something else.”) The first hit was a class taught by Claudrena N. Har old, titled Black Fire: The Struggle For Social Justice and Racial Equality at the University of Virginia, 1960-1995. There, on the course website, was a PDF of The Cavalier Daily from 1974 with the headline, “BSA Will Ask Union to Cancel Debate.”
The next morning, Surovell drove back to UVA and headed into the archives to take photos, documenting the back-and-forth between a young Ellis—then the tri-chair

s soon as I sat down with Eva Sur ovell at Grit Coffee, I realized that I had no questions prepared. Nor mally, for me at least, this would be a ter rible start to an interview. But as we were placing our orders, the editor-in-chief of The Cavalier Daily revealed herself to be so personable and eager to speak that I thought this meeting could simply be a conversation between two editors, a chance to talk shop— to just chat.
“I like to say that I failed up wards at Cav Daily,” she said. “I quite literally got both of my jobs, news editor and managing editor, because someone else stepped down, not because I ran for them and won them. Editor-in-chief was the first Cav Daily elec tion that I ever won, which is really weird.”

“I clicked on it and my jaw just dropped,” said Surovell. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s real.’”
By Richard DiCicco richard@c-ville.com
“I tell people I run the biggest gossip chain on Grounds,” Surovell said proudly. And what gossip she has! I asked to meet her for coffee the day she published her article on Bert Ellis Jr.’s role in inviting a prominent eugenics ad vocate, William Shockley, to speak at UVA in the 1970s. Ellis, one of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s recent appointees to the university’s Board of Visitors, was already a controversial figure, but this stunning and well-re searched story utilized the power of UVA’s Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library to shine a light on his divisive ac tions from nearly 50 years ago.
“The transition from writing to editing wasn’t as hard as the transition from edit ing to managing,” Surovell said. “Manag ing is hard. I like to write, and I don’t get to do that much of it.”
But, sometimes, she does. The Ellis story started with a message from the Cav Daily’s anonymous tip line before the semester start ed. Surovell was at home in northern Vir ginia at the time, and figured she would look into it when she was back on Grounds and could sift through the archives. But curiosity gnawed away at her.

How the Cav Daily’s editor turned a 50-year-old story into a headline

I was curious to know how she did it—how she was tipped off to this story and how she got ahold of people who hadn’t spo ken to The Cavalier Daily in decades. But I also wanted to know more about her job, espe cially as I’m still fresh in my role as editor-in-chief at C-VILLE.
“I just wanted to write,” she said. “That’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do. Journalism seemed like a fun way of doing it.”
rally, she said. But the personal sacrifices she’s had to make to fit everything together has left her unsure if she’d serve as an editor-in-chief at another paper. Because of the workload, she can’t take a full slate of classes. And when the buck stops at the top, there’s no one else to rely on when she can’t do something herself.
Maybe that’s a humblebrag—Surovell, a double major in English and French, clearly worked hard to be where she is now, and her appointments to each position show that her colleagues trusted her to do the work.

Considering that Ellis had already gone to a Lawn student’s door to cut down a sign with a razor blade, she was concerned that there would be per sonal backlash from him.

Formed in a college dorm in Boone, North Carolina, The Nude Party got its start at a regular gig as a house band, where performing in the buff earned the group a reputation as “the naked party band.” Nude Party’s sophomore album, Midnight Manor, harkens back to those house party days with a blend of rock ‘n’ roll infused with ’60s vibes. The record opens with lead singer Patton Magee channeling a nervy and agitated Lou Reed on “Lonely Heather.” Then there’s the lamentful yet upbeat “Pardon Me, Satan,” the kazoo-filled “Nashville Record Company,” and “Things Fall Apart,” a ’60s-style pop ballad. The band will perform, fully clothed, with opener Pearl Charles. $16-20, 8pm. The Southern Café & Music Hall, 103 First St. S. thesoutherncville.com

Using that part of the brain is easier said than done. But Yola, like so many of us, had a lot of time to putter around the house and try things over the past couple years. One strategy that worked consistently was watching medi tative television—track and field, Formula One racing (she’s a “massive fan”), or the Tour de France—into the early hours of the morning.
At this point in her career, Yola refuses to be tied to a genre or put in a box, but she also has a well-defined mission ahead of her. After playing Sister Rosetta in Elvis, she’s considering more acting gigs and has been in talks with producers. But any role would have to be on her own terms.
“I am going to see what speaks to me,” she says. “If I play someone, that character is going to be nontoxic to Black women. That is theWhenbrand.”itcomes to music, “it’s about re claiming everything that has been stolen from Black people,” she says. She doesn’t

able to enter a less cognitive state, ignoring basic motor functions and focusing on her midbrain soup. The process yielded at least a third of the tracks on Stand for Myself, Yola’s first album to debut on the Billboard 200 (at 196). Another third came from ideas that had been in her head for years, and for the final third, she credits her producer and collaborator, Black Keys frontman Dan Au erbach, for taking them to the next level.

Yola breaks it down like this: Many of the songs she wrote for her first record came from her prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that does all the consciously clever stuff. But on a few songs, she figures she was able to draw from her midbrain, which is responsi ble for the senses. Those midbrain songs express ideas that spring to mind and “bump together” without help from the clever pre frontal cortex, and they’re more inspired.
Yola’d been curious about the brain and its relationship to singing and songwriting since battling vocal nodules early in her ca reer. After struggling with average medical care and vocal coaching during her recovery, she decided to learn exactly what was hap pening to her. Applying a similarly scientif ic approach to songwriting was only natural when she had to overcome writer’s block for her second LP, Stand for Myself

A few answers come to mind when talking to the self-proclaimed “genre-fluid” British songstress. First, she’s difficult to brand. Genre fluidity is something some people just can’t dig. And second, she’s skeptical of the media.

“The machine that we live in has constant ly tried to program you against the efforts we’re making to be better. It is an attack on our brains,” Yola says. “Once we realize we didn’t come out of the womb like this, we can say, ‘Okay I have just got to stop these things from attacking my brain and know exactly what we are consuming.’”

“I felt like all people want to do is put you in a little box—or even in a large box,” Yola says. “But white guys can do anything. We thought they couldn’t do hip-hop. They were too far from the streets and elitist. That hasn’t stopped them.”
“The idea of using that part of the brain that holds everything we have ever sensed and creates this ‘soup’—that’s the thing that allows you to make more elegant connec tions,” Yola says.

FEEDBACK
“Foundationally, Dan and I are both mu sic fans,” she says. “He was able to imagine me doing feasibly anything, and that was also important for me to realize: I can fea sibly do anything.”
Yola says her two genre-fluid records to this point have been building blocks, bridges to something even bigger. Now that she’s show cased her abilities in multiple genres, she’s free to focus on one if she chooses, maybe with a blues record here or a disco album there.
S
For now, though, she and her band will bring big shows to her fans, even as she plays smaller venues like the Jefferson between fes tival junkets and major-city headline spots.
Yola is poised for major stardom following the release of two Grammy-nominated albums, and an appearance in the film Elvis. She performs at the Jefferson on Saturday, September 17.

After her breakout first album, the fourtime Grammy-nominated Walk Through Fire, Yola hit a creative dry spell. Her solution? Go deep into her own songwriting process and turn it on its head. “I managed to kind of deconstruct the way I create on a scientific level,” she says. “I am aggressively sciency.”
“Everywhere we go, we still bring the same bus with the same trailer,” Yola says. “One thing that is maybe different from a festival set is I like to strip everything back on a few songs and show people an original version from before I took it to anybody else. I like to give people that.”

When a director describes an adult-themed movie as a “fairy tale,” it’s likely to be half-baked magical realism, ridden with plot holes. Three Thousand Years, how ever, is a love letter to storytelling.
The Djinn’s yarns are genuinely mythical in scope, where each marvelous detail grows more extravagant. Miller uses this outsized material to comment on how, as human technology advances, our true sense of magic erodes. He echoes cinematic Ara bian Nights classics like Alexander Korda’s
George Miller could have spent his entire career making billions filming high-oc tane chases around a post-apocalyptic waste land. Instead, he consistently chooses unusu al, disparate projects, ranging from The Witches of Eastwick to the animated Happy Feet. His latest, Three Thousand Years of Long ing, again proves he’s anything but one note.

Time in a bottle
At its best, Three Thousand Years is a remind er of the far-flung, impossible places that movies can transport viewers to. With so many militantly dreary films in current cir culation, the exoticism, romance, and hu manity of Three Thousand Years combines for a magic carpet ride worth taking.
Miller creates an atmosphere of wistful ness, laced with wry humor. Three Thousand Years marks a major shift away from the relentless pace of Mad Max: Fury Road. It moves leisurely without being slow, more like the original Mad Max, where quieter stretches let the audience get to know and like the characters before things get frantic.

This is the first Estate Meritage Blanc crafted in Virginia and the Meritage Alliance was thrilled. Our winemaker Justin Falco made this beautiful wine in a style worthy of drinking now, but it can also lay down in your cellar or wine fridge for a few more years. This classic Bordeaux blend of our Estate grown Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc was aged for 12 months in equal parts new and old Bordeaux oak barrels. Uniquely unfiltered, it has medium plus body, intense flavors of ripe pineapple, pear, gooseberry, apples with sweater weather baking spices while still showing off its minerality. A wine that is exceptional on the Fall dining table. We love it with slow cooker recipes like Chicken Pumpkin Curry and Apple Butternut Squash soup. Email us for recipes!

(Feb. 19-March 20): “I am lonely, yet not everybody will do,” observed Piscean author Anaïs Nin. “Some people fill the gaps, and others emphasize my loneliness,” she con cluded.

Pisces
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Richard Ford has advice for writers: “Find what caus es a commotion in your heart. Find a way to write about that.” I will amend his coun sel to apply to all of you non-writers, as well. By my reckoning, the coming weeks will be prime time to be gleefully honest as you identify what causes commotions in your heart. Why should you do that? Because it will lead you to the good decisions you need to make in the coming months. As you at tend to this holy homework, I suggest you direct the following invitation to the uni verse: Beguile me, mystify me, delight me, fascinate me, and rouse me to feel deep, delicious feelings.

By Rob Brezsny
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to Libran poet T. S. Eliot, “What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” Those are your guiding thoughts for the coming days, Libra. You’re almost ready to start fresh; you’re on the verge of being able to start planning your launch date or grand opening. Now all you have to do is create a big crisp emptiness where the next phase will have plenty of room to germinate. The best way to do that is to finish the old process as completely as possible.
Aries
(April 20-May 20): I will remind you about a potential superpower that is your birth right to develop: You can help people to act in service to the deepest truths and strongest love. You can even teach them how to do it. Have you been ripening this talent in 2022? Have you been bringing it more to the fore front of your relationships? I hope so. The coming months will stir you to go further than ever before in expressing this gift. For best results, take a vow to nurture the deep est truths and strongest love in all your thoughts and dealings with others.
of the next six weeks: 1. Be the cautiously optimistic voice of reason. Be the method ical motivator who prods and inspires. Or ganize as you uplift. Encourage others as you build efficiency. 2. Don’t take other
people’s apparent stupidity or rudeness as personal affronts. Try to understand how the suffering they have endured may have led to their behavior. 3. Be your own father. Guide yourself as a wise and benevolent male elder would. 4. Seek new ways to ex perience euphoria and enchantment, with an emphasis on what pleasures will also make you healthier.
experience intimacy that enriches your sense of feeling at home in the world. You’ll thrive by consorting with allies who sweeten your love of life.
Libra
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Please promise me you will respect and revere your glorious star power in the coming weeks. I feel it’s im portant, both to you and those whose lives you touch, that you exalt and exult in your access to your magnificence. For everyone’s benefit, you should play freely with the art of being majestic and regal and sovereign. To do this right, you must refrain from in
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Now and then, you slip into phases when you’re poised on the brink of either self-damage or self-discovery. You wobble and lurch on the borderline where self-undoing vies with self-creation. When ever this situation arises, here are key ques tions to ask yourself: Is there a strategy you can implement to ensure that you glide into self-discovery and self-creation? Is there a homing thought that will lure you away from the perverse temptations of self-damage and self-undoing? The answers to these queries are always yes—if you regard love as your top priority and if you serve the cause of love over every other consideration.
Sagittarius
Aquarius
(June 21-July 22): “Poetry is a life-cherishing force,” said Pulitzer Prize-winner Mary Ol iver, who published 33 volumes of poetry and read hundreds of other poets. Her state ment isn’t true for everyone, of course. To reach the point where reading poetry pro vides our souls with nourishment, we may have to work hard to learn how to appreciate it. Some of us don’t have the leisure or tem perament to do so. In any case, Cancerian, what are your life-cherishing forces? What influences inspire you to know and feel all that’s most precious about your time on earth? Now would be an excellent time to ruminate on those treasures—and take steps to nurture them with tender ingenuity.
(March 21-April 19): My reader Monica Bal lard has this advice for you Aries folks: “If you don’t vividly ask for and eagerly welcome the gifts the universe has in store for you, you may have to settle for trinkets and bau bles. So never settle.” That’s always useful counsel for you Rams. And in the coming weeks, you will be wise to heed it with extra intensity. Here’s a good metaphor to spur you on: Don’t fill up on junk snacks or glitzy hors d’oeuvres. Instead, hold out for gourmet feasts featuring healthy, delectable entrées.

insights you didn’t realize you needed to know. I believe the description I just artic ulated fits your current ramble through the amazing maze. My advice: Don’t be in a mad rush to escape. Allow this dizzying but daz zling expedition to offer you all its rich teachings.
Taurus
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s impossible to be perfect. It’s neither healthy nor productive to obsess on perfectionism. You know these things. You understand you can’t afford to get bogged down in overthinking and overreaching and overpolishing. And when you are at your best, you sublimate such manic urges. You transform them into the elegant intention to clarify and refine and refresh. With grace and care, you express useful beauty instead of aiming for hyper-immaculate precision. I believe that in the coming weeks, dear Virgo, you will be a master of these services—skilled at performing them for yourself and others.
Virgo
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Sometimes serendipity is just intention unmasked,” said Sagittarian author Elizabeth Berg. I suspect her theory will be true for you in the coming weeks. You have done an adroit job of formulating your intentions and collecting the informa tion you need to carry out your intentions. What may be best now is to relax your focus as you make room for life to respond to your diligent preparations. “I’m a great believer in luck,” said my Uncle Ned. “I’ve found that the harder I work, the more luck I have.” He was correct, but it’s also true that luck some times surges your way when you’ve taken a break from your hard work.

Kelsey Naylor, one of the two chefowners at Umma’s on Water Street also grew up in the family kitchen and it shows in what she calls her new Korean restaurant. “Umma” is Korean for “mom “ or “mother,” and, Naylor says, is “kind of an homage to my mom and my grand mother,” immigrants from Korea when her mom was 15.

Mortals, as it turns out, are exception al cooks and concoction creators—clever, curious, and endlessly adventurous, as the Olympians would know if they went restaurant hopping and market wander ing in today’s Charlottesville.

Ask Stella Turner what makes her down home food so good and she’ll give you a simple answer: “I put love in it,” she says. “It’s from the heart.” Sure enough, you can taste that in the hot wings, the crispy fried whiting, and the mac and cheese she serves in York Place on the Downtown Mall. Further proof is in her

Turner opened Stella’s Cuisine in March of 2021, not the easiest time for a restaurant to establish itself—unless the food is really delicious. Stella’s obvi ouslyRaisedis. in Charlottesville, she learned to cook from her mother and grand mother in a family where everyone wanted their turn at the stove. Later she worked in local restaurants. Now her own has survived the pandemic, in part through curbside pickup service.
Pyeonyuk is a version of Korean head cheese, made here with local pork and served with salt shrimp, Korean sesame sauce, and sesame leaves. Pickled fish and vegetables are staples at Umma’s, and the most popular thing on the menu right now is the fried rice and eel with a sweet soy glaze.
Nona’s Italian Cucina
Zeus and company never tried Am brosia’s garlicky, yogurt and feta based Turokafteri spread, or Daniel Perry’s intriguing Strawberry + Sumac Jam. Sweet was the smell of a sacrificed bull, but more enticing is the aroma of Stella Turner’s fried chicken.

The chicken is double fried and served with a choice of sauces, including Nay lor’s own favorite, what she calls Santa sauce—“essentially a sweet onion and spicy gochujang blend.”
Speaking of grandmother, “Nona” is not how it’s spelled in Italian, as Yvonne Cunningham’s customers from the old country tell her. It needs another “n” after the “o.” But “Nona” is the moniker Cun ningham’s teacher went by, the preferred name of the Naples grandmother who taught her to make the thick tomato sauce known there as “gravy.”
Cunningham and her Navy husband chose to live off the naval base for their seven years in Naples, “and what a treat that was” she says today.
She hopes it will grow, with a bigger space and a larger clientele since she’s now on Grubhub. Customers can order online from the restaurant’s own site as well. Estimated wait time while Turner gets all the love in? Just 15 minutes.
Korean fans of her kimchi at the Mar ket are coming to Umma’s now too, as are newly arrived Korean students at UVA. The rest of us have the opportunity to try dishes like Korean Fried Chicken and Pyeonyuk for perhaps the first time, on a menu that rotates roughly every two weeks based on what’s in season.
Umma’s co-owner Anna Gardner found was the most popular bar drink during a year spent in Japan: Wine and Coke. “The signature of the drink,” Naylor will tell you, is “the cheapest red wine you get.” And at Umma’s a splash of Grenadine.
The restaurant’s sizeable drinks list features no less than ten Japanese whis kies, along with a concoction Naylor and

says. “The fruit in the strawberry, peach, apricot and cherry territory get overly sweet as a jam; so those guys like hav ing something tangy, something floral, something herbaceous in there, to break up that sweetness and keep it from get tingDamsoncloying.”Plum is “a classic, old-fash ioned preserving plum,” and a favorite of moonshiners. “It’s a little like if a Ka lamata olive had the skin of a blueberry. It has a big stone in the middle and it’s really tannic and tangy. The jam is almost redGoldenwiney.”Shiro Plum Jam is seasoned with tumeric, ginger, and black pepper, a blend based on golden milk in Indian cuisine. “Yellow fruit lends itself to having a golden veneer put on it,” Perry says. His own ginger and tumeric is locally sourced.” And what’s his own favorite variety? “I really love the tart cherry and apricot.”
Scan the names of Perry’s many successful experiments, and it’s hard to know what to try first. Strawberry + Sumac? Apricot + Calamondin? You can tell the guy’s a born inventor. “All the fruits have their own sweetness,” he
Marian began her baking career at Mudhouse in Crozet, then moved to Marie Bette in Charlottesville. As her curiosity and passion grew, she experi mented with sourdough breads made from local grain she milled herself.

But the privately-owned organic farms aren’t all that make it special here. So do the camaraderie and the cooperation.
DESIGNER
Althea Bread
Talk to any chef, producer, or grower in these parts, and they’ll remark upon what a special place this is.
You wouldn’t think this is such a great area to grow because of the red clay. But the grapes love it, the hops love it, the wheat loves it, tomatoes love it, peppers love it, herbs love it—this is just a valley of food, this whole area.”
Stop into Althea Bread and you may leave with something that looks deli cious and goes by the name KouignAmann—whatever that is. Kouign-Amann is actually an indulgence dreamed up in the northwest Brittany region of France: a cakey confection loaded with “cara melized sugar, local raspberries, crispy, buttery palmiers, and pumpkin cookies,” says Althea’s Susan Bayker. It is based on her wife and business partner Marian Bayker’s favorite childhood recipe.
In the last 14 years, Perry has made as many as a 150 varieties a year, sourcing his fruit from local farms, where farm owners are happy to have him buy their surplus. Nowadays he’s settled on 60 to 75 flavors and makes 10 to 11 thousand jars a year, selling half at the farmers market, a quarter to specialty food stores, and a quarter by mail.
A Great Vibe
Khadija’s Kitchen
Freshly stoneground local and re gional grains, natural sourdough leav ening—even in the croissants!—and long fermentation times given Althea’s cre ations their complex character. “Our classic Country Sourdough is prob ably our bestselling bread,” Susan says. “We also make seeded and whole grain sourdough loaves, baguettes, and a very special sprouted rye loaf that we call Breakfast Bread, a hearty Danish style delight. We make a variety of pastries, including plain, chocolate, pretzel, and almond croissants.”
The food Khadija Hemmati helps pre pare at Marigold, Jean-Georges’ fabulous restaurant at Keswick Hall, is elegant and sophisticated with Southern, French and Asian touches. The beautiful dishes she makes on her own, sells online and at farmer’s markets, and caters to numerous groups around town, she calls authentic Afghan cuisine with an international twist.In this city with its diverse popula tion and its avid homegrown foodies (with educated palates eager to explore new cuisines) Afghani cooking is right at home. The Boys and Girls Clubs here know Khadija’s Kitchen, and so do the
International Red Cross and UVA stu dentBornassociations.andraised in Afghanistan, Hem mati came to the U.S. with her children in 2016, dreaming of a better life—and she sure knew how to make it. She took ESL classes; she worked in a UVA cafeteria; and she studied farmers markets, open ing her own booth in IX Park in 2018.
Jam According to Daniel Great bread loves great jam. Daniel Perry was with friends at college in Mas sachusetts in 2004, not far from a large farm, when someone suggested they go raspberry picking. “We put them into the soup pot and cooked them down to one jar of jam, and we’d do that a couple of days a week,” Perry recalls. When he came back home to Virginia that sum mer, he saw a classified ad in the daily newspaper—“Local jam maker looking for help; Kluge Estate”—got the job, and began learning the trade seriously.
“I love the fact that we’re in a central ized location with so many farms in the counties surrounding us,” Naylor says.
Cunningham agrees: “I wouldn’t have been able to do what I’ve done with my sauce if we hadn’t moved to Charlot tesville. That’s for sure. This is such a food-centric area.
“The energy is so different from the toxic chef bro stuff that you hear about,” Perry notes. “It’s a really great vibe.”
Yes, we foodies are awfully fortunate. We have banquets fit for gods with in quisitive appetites. We have professional foodies proud to honor their mothers and adopted grandmothers. The names alone are “Althea”alluring.isGreek for wholesome and healing; “Ambrosia” means “immortal ity.” Our bakers and chefs and sauce and “gravy” and condiment makers don’t promise eternity in an entree, but a mouthful tastes like heaven, and a bel lyful may even produce enlightenment.
