Just wondering
Frankly, I thought he viewed Medicare as some sort of Socialist conspiracy, designed to rob citizens of their hardearned dollars and personal liber ties. Especially since, among other things, he voted against extending Affordable Care Act subsidies through 2025, which would ensure continued access to health insurance for millions of Americans. And against authoriz ing Medicare to negotiate prescrip tion drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. And against the appropria tion of emergency funding to address the critical shortage of infant formula across the U.S. And against capping the cost of insulin at $35 per month for citizens in need of this medication. And against health care and related support services to veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their military service.

Hello, Charlottesville! Thank you for reading C-VILLE Weekly. In this week’s issue, we bring you an incredible story by Courteney Stuart about a woman who retrieved her father’s remains decades after he died serving in WWII (p. 18). Linda Chauvin’s commitment to the search before and after the advent of the internet—and through a pandemic—is admirable and inspiring. Stuart spoke with Chauvin about the long journey to bring her father home to an American cemetery. Gene went missing in action after being shot down over Belgium in 1944. Though Chauvin has faint memories of her dad, she was determined to find him. She educated herself on the details of the war, linked up with historians and fellow pilots, and urged the U.S. military to aid her in her search. As she made headway, some revelations even came by happenstance, such as a moment when someone in Belgium tripped over a steel chunk of Gene’s crashed aircraft.

Police investigate multiple shootings, deaths
On September 10, the Charlottesville Police Department responded to a shots fired incident on the 300 block of East Main Street on the Downtown Mall at around 6:40pm. In a press release issued four days after the crime, the department reported that there were no injuries or property damage, but offered no additional information.
fter years of increasing vacancies and rumors of big development plans, Fashion Square Mall has a new owner: Home Depot. The Atlanta-based hardware big-box company purchased the entire property at the corner of Seminole Trail and Rio Road, minus the Belk Women’s store and the former JCPenny location on September 1, according to Athena Emmans, marketing manager for Jones Lang LaSalle, the company that manages the site.
Home Depot’s corporate office did not respond to a request for comment, but Em mans says all current leases will continue, and the mall is actively seeking new tenants.

The Home Depot purchase isn’t the only recent development at the site. This summer, Albemarle County supervisors approved a plan to spend millions to convert the former JCPenney into a public safety operations center. The space will be used for a variety of purposes, including parking, mainte nance, and storage of emergency vehicles and other gear.

Tuition rebate
The University of Virginia will give in-state undergraduate students a one-time $690 re bate to pay them back for the 4.7 percent tu ition increase for the 2022-23 school year. The school’s Board of Visitors voted on September 16 to join 13 other public state institutions in keeping tuition flat, as requested by Governor Glenn Youngkin earlier this year. Students will see the rebates—which will cost UVA $7.5 million—on their accounts during the current semester and spring 2023 semester.

Plane crash
One person was killed in a small plane crash in Albemarle County on September 14. Short ly before 11:30pm, county officials received a distress call from an unidentified pilot of a private, single-engine plane, and attempted to help him land at Charlottesville Albemarle Airport, but the plane was unable to make it, according to Virginia State Police. The plane crashed and caught fire in a wooded area near Plank and Stillhouse Creek roads. The pilot was the only occupant, and died in the crash.

The CPD received a 911 call at around 1:20pm on September 19 claiming that “a number” of Charlottesville High School students were hurt—but later determined the call was a hoax after putting the school on a 40-minute lock down, according to a statement issued by Prin cipal Rashaad Pitt. Multiple Virginia schools, including Culpeper, Lynchburg, and Shenan doah County, were locked down after receiving false threats the same afternoon.

fter several hours of discussion, Charlottesville’s Planning Com mission recommended City Coun cil deny a controversial rezoning proposal that would build up to 72 new apartments and a daycare center in the Locust Grove neighborhood. During a September 13 joint meeting, the commission cited issues with the project’s affordable units and infrastruc ture. However, commissioners and council ors expressed general support for the highdensity development—which has received criticism from dozens of neighbors—and remained open to approving a revised pro posal in the near future.
Planning commission votes against controversial Locust Grove rezoning
Councilor Michael Payne urged the develop ers to align with the city’s draft inclusionary zoning policy and require new develop ments (with 10 or more units) to set aside at least 10 percent of units as affordable housing for households making 60 percent or less of the AMI—for at least 99 years.
Planning commissioners criticized the project’s short affordability period, and

Ahead of last week’s meeting, Neighbor hood Development Services staff also rec ommended denying the rezoning request, arguing that the development’s infrastruc ture and affordability issues do not comply with the city’s new comprehensive plan.
Commissioners expressed additional con cerns about the development’s impact on

The proposal asks to rezone two empty lots next to Mount View Baptist Church on St. Clair Avenue from two-family residen tial to planned unit development, allowing the developers, led by Craig Builders, to build a mixture of efficiency, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units that would appear as a series of linked townhomes. The de velopment would feature a central greens pace and a multi-use path within the Otter Street right-of-way that would be construct ed to connect Landonia Circle and St. Clair Avenue. The church has also expressed interest in opening a daycare, which the PUD zoning would permit.
But “I can’t think of a project that’s got 30-year, 99-year [affordability] without some kind of subsidy,” said Shimp. “This [develop ment] is like a $200,000 basically donation to affordable housing, when you make these sort of reduced-rent restrictions.”
The developers are open to dropping the 90-day vacancy rule, and now want to make all the affordable units up to 80 percent AMI, the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s payment standard, said engineer Justin Shimp, who represented the developers. “If someone has a voucher, they qualify for that standard.”

Seven of the new units would be set aside as affordable housing. While four would be reserved for households making less than 65 percent of the area median income, three would be for households making less than 80 percent—however, an affordable unit could become available to higher earners if it remains vacant for lon ger than 90 days, and all affordable units would convert to market rate after 10 years, per the current proposal.

“The results of those years of denials and of zoning that encouraged large houses on individual lots is that our city is experiencing a crisis,” said Szakos. “This project is not perfect, but it offers what I hope will be one of many responses to that crisis—we need housing.”
Councilor Juandiego Wade expressed concerns about the affordable units, while Councilor Brian Pinkston encouraged the developers to address traffic issues—but felt the proposal was “in general, a good project in a good place.”

During public comment, multiple neigh borhood residents spoke out against the development, echoing concerns brought up by commissioners and city staff. Eliza beth Hand claimed the high number of units was not “consistent” with the neighborhood, while Elizabeth Alcorn pointed to the area’s traffic problems.
“Our neighborhood looking ahead is never going to become walkable until we increase the density to support non residential mixed uses. Lack of density is what’s holding back walkability in our neighborhood,” added Josh Krahn.
Over the past few months, several dozen other neighborhood residents have sent the commission emails urging it to deny the rezoning request, criticizing the proj ect’s high density, increased traffic, parking needs, and other concerns. “THERE WILL BE A DISRUPTION OF NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY AND VALUES … THIS INCREASE IN POPULATION DENSITY IS A SERIOUS ASSAULT ON THE NEEDS OF EXISTING RESIDENTS,” reads one email included in last week’s meeting packet. Around a dozen neighbors sent messages in support of the project, praising it for bringing more diverse housing op tions to Locust Grove.

The developers will work with city staff over the next few weeks to improve their proposal, before it goes before City Council for a vote next month.
Justin Shimp, who represented the developers of the Locust Grove rezoning project, claimed the development is “like a $200,000 basically donation to affordable housing when you make ... reduced-rent restrictions.”
“This is the kind of density of a project that our zoning rewrite encourages … so I want to figure out how we can get to yes,” said Payne. “I just don’t think the afford ability proffers are quite there yet.”

“Two weeks ago one of my neighbors [had] her car totaled while it was parked on Calhoun Street because of the narrow width of the street and the heavy traffic— until this problem is fixed, there should be no development going on in the neighbor hood,” said Alcorn.
Some neighbors, though, urged the city to approve the high density development. Former city councilor Kristin Szakos re flected on the many proposals for denser housing she saw denied “because they were not perfect.”

“We just wanted to do something, and felt as though trying to lift up Black busi nesses in this community, particularly in a community with a checkered past, would be ideal,” says Cooper of the event, which takes place on Saturday, September 24, at Ix Art Park from 10am to 7pm. “We wanted to be ... not a beacon of hate because of what happened, and ... more of a beacon of hope, more of a beacon of support.”

For Chauvin, who lives in Fry’s Spring, that moment on the tarmac was the culmination of decades of work and a lifetime of wondering what really happened to her father, Eugene Shauvin, a WWII pilot who’d been missing in action since his plane was shot down over Belgium on September 17, 1944. (The Chauvin family
“I let out a scream. I burst into tears,” says Chauvin.
“The excitement was actually so palpable. We see this beautiful big bird come down and land, and then they open that cargo door and there was the honor guard, and then that coffin there,” she recalls with a sob. “I mean, he was finally home after 78 years.”
“Everybody, including my mother, said he had a very quick temper, but that he was also always quick to apologize,” Chauvin says. “And he was good-natured and witty as well.”
That man told her about Pathfinders, the pilots who flew ahead of Allied airborne invasions marking the way for planes carrying paratroopers that followed. Shauvin had been the pilot of one of six planes flying ahead of a massive airborne mission, Operation Market-Garden, which aimed to create an Allied route into Germany. The man suggested she get in touch with Charles Faith, another airborne sol dier who’d been aboard her father’s plane when it crashed.
After nearly eight decades, a WWII hero’s remains come home

“She is the one who went over to Belgium and found the crash site. She was like a bloodhound. She inherited all of her father’s records,” Chauvin says.
When Chauvin met Faith, he had already been back to the Belgian town where the crash had occurred. Faith had located other people who knew more, including a relative of another paratrooper who’d died aboard the plane and a Dutch woman whose father had painstakingly documented WWII crash sites across Europe.
One of nine children, Shauvin and five of his brothers served their country during WWII. Gene enlisted in the National Guard at 18 in 1936, and married Linda’s mother in 1940. Linda was born the following year, and in 1943, a year before his death, he enlisted in the Army Air Borne division. He deployed for Europe and never came home. Linda Chauvin says her childhood after his death was plagued by longing.
“Smoke was billowing out from the cockpit and the jump light was on,” Faith told her. As jump master, Faith was the first out. In all, six of the men aboard were able to jump; the remaining nine perished. On the ground, Faith evaded capture and was sheltered from the Nazis by a Belgian family.
“I got all these hits from people that I later realized were all serious researchers and historians, and one of them was a man in Ohio,” she says. “He wrote back, ‘I think I may be able to help you.’”
Linda Chauvin recently visited a memorial to the missing in the Netherlands, where a stone rosette will be placed next to her WWII pilot father’s name to show that his remains have been found.

“When I called him and I said, ‘I’m the daughter of your pilot in Operation Market-Garden.’ Oh, my God. He let out a cry,” she said. “Gene was a wonderful pilot and a wonderful man,” he told her.
n a sunny afternoon in July, hundreds of people looked on as a 737 touched down at the Spo kane International airport. Sitting in a shuttle bus on the tarmac, surrounded by family and friends, Linda Chauvin watched the scene unfold with a mix of grief and exhilaration.
O
On a subsequent trip to Texas, Faith described her fa ther’s final moments as the plane flew toward Eindhoven in Holland. “It was picked off by anti-aircraft artillery that were located near Retie, Belgium,” she says.
“All of his life he wondered about me because he knew Gene had a wife and daughter. And he welcomed me as if I was his own daughter,” Chauvin says.
“There was always this hollow feeling. And I think I just always felt like I didn’t belong to anybody,” Chauvin says. In high school, she read everything she could about the war. “When I would find out somebody had known him, I would question them, give them the third-degree.”
Over 20 years, Chauvin took multiple trips to the farm in Retie, Belgium, where her father’s plane had crashed. She pushed for the U.S. military to conduct several archaeo logical digs at the site, and finally on March 3 of this year, she received a call from Fort Knox that DNA testing had confirmed the human remains unearthed at the site last year were her father’s.
It wasn’t until the arrival of the internet in the 1990s that she began her search for her father in earnest. She started by posting a request for information about his mission on a WWII message board.
Chauvin has hazy memories of her father, whom she last saw when she was a toddler in the early 1940s growing up in Washington state. She recalls attending a movie with him and losing her shoe during the show. “I remember when he would hold me while wearing his uniform. Everything was uncomfortable against my body,” she says.
name was originally spelled with a C. Gene Shauvin said he wanted to legally change it to Chauvin when he got back from the war, and Linda honored that wish when she changed the spelling of her last name in 1971). This month, Chauvin returned to the site of the crash and to a memorial to the missing in the Netherlands, where she affixed a stone rosette next to her father’s name. The symbol shows that Gene Shauvin has been found, thanks in large part to his daughter’s stubborn streak. It’s a trait she likely inherited from him.

Family members described Gene Shauvin as determined, athletic, and always seeking ways to improve himself.
After the digging was complete, Chauvin returned to the excavation site with the Belgian family and received another sign.
In 2000, Chauvin, a Pathfinder historian, and the family who live at the crash site began working as a team to establish a Pathfinders memorial at the site. After securing support from the local government, that memorial became a reality in 2001. The descendants of the family at the crash site hosted Chauvin, Faith, and other relatives of men on the plane for the dedication of the Pathfinder memorial marking the spot Gene Shauvin and eight other U.S. soldiers lost their lives.
Chauvin, accompanied by her mother, two of her sur viving uncles, cousins, and her new Belgian friends went to the site for the dedication and stood in the field where the plane went down.
Earlier this month, Linda Chauvin returned to a farm in Retie, Belgium, where there’s a Pathfinder memorial stone that marks the site where her father’s plane was shot down on September 17, 1944.

“I have new friends and much, much closer relationships with cousins,” she says. Her search for her father also led her to romance with a Belgian historian whose expertise in WWII history brought him to Retie during her visits.

of Spokane. Well over 100 people attended, many of them military members there to honor one of their own, missing for 78 years. A C-47 flew overhead, and TV cameras captured the moments before 2nd Lt. Eugene Shauvin was finally laid to rest in an American cemetery alongside members of his family.
“It was really something to see,” says Chauvin.
“There was always this hollow feeling. And I think I just always felt like I didn’t belong to anybody.” Linda Chauvin
“He’s been here to Charlottesville twice. And then I met him in Dallas in June, and we flew out to Seattle. He’s met all my family. We’ve been to Spokane, and he just fell in love with it out there,” she says.
Now 81, Chauvin says the search for her father gave her the answers she’d long sought—and a lot more.
“It was a big honor to be able to do that,” she says. “But all of a sudden, the colonel in charge, the archaeologist, just said, ‘Okay, we’re done.’”
A team of 24 people worked for 70 days. “They got there in April, and you can’t believe what all they did,” she says.
After Gene Shauvin’s remains were repatriated in July, Chauvin held the long-delayed funeral in his hometown
Her mother died last fall at age 99, months before the positive identification of her spouse was made, but Chauvin had shared that remains had been found. And Chauvin says she’s comforted by the idea that her father is now truly at
“This big white bird flew down out of nowhere, and it flew over that rectangle that had been a big excavation unit. It flew about 18 inches off the ground, back and forth, like in a grid. ... It was like it was healing that area. And then it flew off. We were dumbfounded.”
Chauvin says that team never excavated two temporary graves where the crew and paratroopers’ remains had been buried after the crash. Eight of the fallen men’s remains
“Everybody started yelling at me … pointing up to a tree,” she recalls. “There was this big, light-colored bird sitting there watching.” As she moved around, she says, the bird kept watching her. The field had been plowed many times, and the owner of the property assured her no remnants of the plane would be found. But as darkness fell and the group walked across the field, the owner tripped on something. A big piece of steel. Part of the plane.
Chauvin began pushing for an excavation of the site, and a team from the Army’s Central I.D. Lab in Hawaii, now part of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency first sent a team in 2002. In 2003, Chauvin participated in an archaeological dig of the site.
The case was reopened, and Chauvin says it would be years and multiple frustrating setbacks before any more action was taken. Finally, in spring of 2021, the excava tion happened. After overcoming pandemic-related travel restrictions with the help of Belgian citizens and diplomats, Chauvin moved into an RV next to the crash site.
Six months later, Chauvin got the news she’d been wait ing her whole life to hear: She’d found her father.

Canadian punk band PUP’s name may be an abbreviation for “pathetic waste of potential,” but don’t let that fool you—its fourth album, THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND, marks a clever new marriage between melody and chaos. And according to lead singer Stefan Babcock, chaos is where PUP feels most at home, saying “there is nothing more PUP than a slow and inevitable descent into self-destruction.” The record kicks off with “Four Chords,” also referred to as “the stupidest piano ballad of all time” by Babcock. Other highlights include the mournful, anthemic “Matilda,” and “Robot Writes A Love Song,” a nervy, synth-filled tune written from the perspective of a computer being overwhelmed unto death by human emotions. $27-30, 8pm.

Roberts’ technical abilities were shaped by former Juilliard instructors Arthur Weis berg, who honed her technical skills, and Stephen Maxym, who taught her how to play expressively. Now a teacher herself in Char lottesville, she finds herself reflecting on them in her own lessons.

This bassoon concerto demands quick and complicated playing on one of the most difficult orchestral instruments to master, making it the perfect way to display the tech nical proficiency of principal bassoonist Elizabeth Roberts.
COVID-19 protocols kept wind and brass players off the stage from the beginning of the pandemic to March 2021, making this the first time in three years the entire Char lottesville Symphony will begin the season.
“I think my strengths as a player are lyrical,” Roberts says. “When I get to play the slow movement, that’s where I feel like I really sing.”

“She does these wonderful crossfades be tween different keys that you could only really do with harmonica,” Rous says. “It’s quite brilliant, how she’s embodied this idea of the music of the spheres based on the idea of orbiting planets having a frequency, and being in harmony with each other.”
“I told the orchestra in the first rehearsal,” Rous says, “that my guiding thought for the entire season was that it’s so exciting to be back together that I just wanted to have every time that we rehearse be a fun time, and to come from a place of joy for the whole season.”
In February, Charlottesville will hear one of Rous’ personal favorites, Anna Thorvalds dottir’s “Metacosmos,” which the conductor describes as an “impressionistic landscape of InIceland.”April, the orchestra will feature a flute concerto by Christopher Rouse, a long-await ed piece which principal flutist Kelly Sulick was originally slated to play in April 2020 with the now-late Rouse in the audience.

The moment her mom picked her up from the last day of sixth grade, Roberts excited ly directed her to the middle school to bor row her first bassoon.

Anyone who lacks experience with the nastier local species would do well to bone up a little as they venture into the otherwise very healing great outdoors.
On the animal side, snakes get a lot of at tention, but spiders and caterpillars can also mess up your day. “We certainly get a number of black widow envenomations each year,” says Holstege. (By the way, if you’re wondering about the difference between venomous and poisonous, Holstege explains that venom is injected, as in a bite or sting, while poison

He and some other Master Naturalists ended up talking with Dr. Chris Holstege, who’s not only a toxicologist in the UVA Health System, but also director of the Blue Ridge Poison Center and the Department of Student Health and Wellness. “I went to him and said, ‘How much do you see in the ER?’” Goossens explains. “The incidences were very high.”

“There are poisonous plants in our day-today life,” he says, “whether in the backyard or when you’re hiking, that many people don’t know about.”
Now there’s a follow-up called the Cleo patra Project (remember the legend of her suicide by snake bite?) that focuses on ani mals. The booklet will be published later this year, and as a preview, the lobby of the Stu dent Health and Wellness Center is current ly displaying many of the artworks and in formation for both plants and animals. Members of the Firnew Farm Artists’ Circle in Madison County have supplied the art.
Holstege says that while some toxic spe cies are very well known—think poison ivy—others might come as a surprise, like the beautiful but inedible berries of the pokeberry plant (Phytolacca americana). “Young kids eat them,” he says, “and they cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. They might have to go in for fluids because they get dehydrated.” Adults foraging for wild leeks, meanwhile, might mistakenly harvest

avid Bowie was so ahead of his time that, even six years after his death, his music seems advanced. Brett Morgen’s concert film/documentary Moonage Daydream is a cause for celebration for the Thin White Duke’s millions of fans with its combination of musical footage, interviews with Bowie, other archival clips, andMorgenanimation.hassaid that Moonage Daydream was initially intended as an “immersive ex perience” akin to The Beatles’ collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Love. Trailers are tout ing it as a “cinematic experience,” which is a fairly accurate description: it’s deliberately not a traditional biographical documentary in the sense that people’s names and films’ titles aren’t identified with captions, nor are new interviews inserted. None of this deep ly detracts from its overall structure.

Bowie’s life and work need no introduc tion, yet his story remains fresh and vital. The audience follows David Jones of Brixton as he creates the chameleon-like character that we think of as “David Bowie.” One

Moonage Daydream drifts through many of his career’s key points, like his early tri umph as Ziggy Stardust and his collabora tions with Brian Eno, into his ’80s super stardom with chart-topping hits like “Let’s Dance,” and beyond. Much of the material was drawn from Bowie’s own archive, which he accumulated during his lifetime, and we hear about his half-brother who had schizophrenia, his movie career, his happy marriage to Iman, and his final years.

Moonage Daydream continually reminds us what a polymath Bowie was. The minute he excelled in some art form, he would chal lenge himself with something new. From experimental rock, to film work, to starring as The Elephant Man on Broadway, to paint ing, he wholly immersed himself in each medium he worked in. His intense enthusi asm, creativity, and curiosity are infectious. If you’re into Bowie and his music, this movie is an easy sell and you won’t be disap

subject and his music are so entertaining and interesting, he couldn’t possibly miss with his overall product. Bowie’s music is evergreen, and his interviews never get dull. It’s striking how vastly more gregarious, ar ticulate, funny, and engaging he is in these interviews than most rock stars, and his unrelenting love of life and creativity give the film enormous energy. “Don’t waste a minute,” Bowie tells an interviewer. Judging by Moonage Daydream, he never did.

HARK VINEYARDS
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!
Reservations are requested for indoor, porch or outdoor seating and can be made on our website. Walkins are welcome whenever space is available. Open on Mondays through the end of October.

This Estate Reserve is balanced with bright acidity and is bursting with luscious pear and apple fruit notes. While Petit Manseng can be a late harvest, sweet grape, we’ve prepared this vintage in a dry style that pairs beautifully with spicy foods such as Pad Thai, Tikki Masala, Foie Gras, Etouffee and even Buffalo wings!

(July 23-Aug. 22): For 15 years, Leo car toonist Gary Larson created The Far Side, a hilarious comic strip featuring intelligent talking animals. It was syndicated in more than 1,900 newspapers. But like all of us, he has had failures, too. In one of his books, Larson describes the most disappointing event in his life. He was eating a meal in the same dining area as a famous cartoon ist he admired, Charles Addams, creator of The Addams Family. Larson felt a strong urge to go over and introduce himself to Addams. But he was too shy and tonguetied to do so. Don’t be like Larson in the coming weeks, dear Leo. Reach out and connect with receptive people you’d love to communicate with. Make the first move in contacting someone who could be im portant to you in the future. Be bold in seeking new links and affiliations. Always be respectful, of course.
Capricorn
(Feb. 19-March 20): In a poem to a lover, Pablo Neruda wrote, “At night I dream that you and I are two plants that grew together, roots entwined.” I suspect you Pisceans could have similar deepening and interweav ing experiences sometime soon—not only with a lover but with any treasured person or animal you long to be even closer to than you already are. Now is a time to seek more robust and resilient intimacy.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford wrote, “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk. Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” Those ideas are always true, of course, but I think it’s especially crucial that you heed them in the coming weeks. In my

Taurus
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Love your mistakes and foibles,” Virgo astrologer William Sebrans advises his fellow Virgos. “They aren’t going away. And it’s your calling in life—some would say a superpower— to home in on them and finesse them. Why? Because you may be able to fix them or at least improve them with panache—for your benefit and the welfare of those you love.” While this counsel is always relevant for you, dear Virgo, it will be especially so in the coming weeks.
(May 21-June 20): Here’s a scenario that could be both an invigorating metaphor and a literal event. Put on rollerblades. Get out onto a long flat surface. Build up a comfort able speed. Fill your lungs with the elixir of life. Praise the sun and the wind. Sing your favorite songs. Swing your arms all the way forward and all the way back. Forward: pow er. Backward: power. Glide and coast and flow with sheer joy. Cruise along with con fidence in the instinctive skill of your beau tiful body. Evaporate thoughts. Free yourself of every concern and every idea. Keep ram bling until you feel spacious and vast.
Aquarius
(April 20-May 20): In 1946, medical profes sionals in the U.K. established the Common Cold Unit. Its goal was to discover practical treatments for the familiar viral infection known as the cold. Over the next 43 years, until it was shut down, the agency produced just one useful innovation: zinc gluconate lozenges. This treatment reduces the severity and length of a cold if taken within 24 hours of onset. So the results of all that research were modest, but they were also much better than nothing. During the coming weeks, you may experience comparable phenomena, Tau rus: less spectacular outcomes than you might wish, but still very worthwhile.
(June 21-July 22): I’m getting a psychic vi sion of you cuddled up in your warm bed, surrounded by stuffed animals and wrapped in soft, thick blankets with images of bun nies and dolphins on them. Your head phones are on, and the songs pouring into your cozy awareness are silky smooth ton ics that rouse sweet memories of all the times you felt most wanted and most at home in the world. I think I see a cup of hot chocolate on your bedstand, too, and your favorite dessert. Got all that, fellow Cancerian? In the coming days and nights, I suggest you enjoy an abundance of expe riences akin to what I’ve described here.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tips for making the most of the next three weeks: 1. Be proud as you teeter charismatically on the fence. Relish the power that comes from being in between. 2. Act as vividly congenial and staunchly beautiful as you dare. 3. Experiment with making artful arrangements of pretty much everything you are part of. 4. Flatter others sincerely. Use praise as one of your secret powers. 5. Cultivate an open-minded skep ticism that blends discernment and curios ity. 6. Plot and scheme in behalf of harmony, but never kiss ass.
oracular opinion, you need to build your personal power right now. An important way to do that is by being discriminating about what you take in and put out. For best results, speak your truths as often and as clearly as possible. And do all you can to avoid exposing yourself to trivial and delu sional “truths” that are really just opinions or misinformation.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Use your imag ination to make everything seem fascinat ing and wonderful. 2. When you give advice to others, be sure to listen to it yourself. 3. Move away from having a rigid conception of yourself and move toward having a fluid fantasy about yourself. 4. Be the first to laugh at and correct your own mistakes. (It’ll give you the credibility to make even better mistakes in the future.) 5. Inspire other people to love being themselves and not want to be like you.
Gemini
By Rob Brezsny
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are an extra authen tic Aquarius if people say that you get your self into the weirdest, most interesting trouble they’ve ever seen. You are an ul tra-genuine Aquarius if people follow the twists and pivots of your life as they would a soap opera. And I suspect you will fulfill these potentials to the max in the coming weeks. The upcoming chapter of your life story might be as entertaining as any you have had in years. Luckily, imminent events are also likely to bring you soulful lessons that make you wiser and wilder. I’m excit ed to see what happens!

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Mary Oliver wrote, “There is within each of us a self that is nei ther a child, nor a servant of the hours. It is a third self, occasional in some of us, ty rant in others. This self is out of love with the ordinary; it is out of love with time. It has a hunger for eternity.” During the com ing weeks, Scorpio, I will be cheering for the ascendancy of that self in you. More than usual, you need to commune with fantastic truths and transcendent joys. To be in maximum alignment with the good fortune that life has prepared for you, you must give your loving attention to the high est and noblest visions of your personal destiny that you can imagine.

avoid dicey consequences. Maybe more than any other sign of the zodiac, you periodi cally outfox karma. But in the coming weeks, I will nevertheless counsel you not to barge into situations where rash boldness might lead to wrong moves. Please do not flirt with escapades that could turn into chancy gam bles. At least for the foreseeable future, I hope you will be prudent and cagey in your quest for interesting and educational fun.

MURPHY’S CREEK FARM
As the original main path from Rich mond to the Shenandoah Valley, Three Notch’d Road slowly evolved into the current Route 250, still called Richmond Road. In 1933 state highway officials an nounced a plan to build the Free Bridge across the Rivanna River. Nearly a cen tury later, it’s still the only bridge, and often cursed by the more than 50,000 drivers who traverse it daily.
This four to seven-lane thoroughfare has a little of everything. Residents and area shoppers drive into Pantops for the two major grocery stores, numerous retail shops, the Martha Jefferson Hospital and associated health providers, and an extensive network of services.
Restaurants and coffee shops abound along Richmond Road. Grit Coffee, Mar co’s Pizza, Mi Casita Salvadoran Restau rant, and The Lazy Parrot BBQ join the typical array of Starbucks, Applebee’s, and Chik-fil-A. Tip Top, the ever-popular 50s-style diner, still won’t spill the beans on what days their famous meatloaf is
The area has seen significant invest ment in the past couple of years as one of Albemarle County’s top growth areas. Two brand new subdivisions joined near ly a dozen other Pantops neighborhoods.
Richmond Road became the natural route commercial and retail enterprises used to enter and leave Charlottesville. And it still is.
Car shoppers in the Charlottesville area know to check out the deals on “Dealership Row” in Pantops. They can test drive everything from the latest Porsche or Audi to the haggle-free bar gains on a used car at CarMax.

One county employee describes driv ing in Pantops as bad, adding, “And I hope you don’t plan to walk or bike anywhere.”PaulMcArtor, REALTOR® with Av enue Realty, agrees. “The biggest draw to Pantops is being so close to the city. And the biggest drawback to Pantops is traffic.”Butvaliant efforts are underway to improve. In response to the traffic con
“And depending on where you live in Pantops, it will eventually be an easy bike ride or walk into Charlottesville over the Rivanna River.” The county has applied for funds to build a pedestrian bridge to cross the Rivanna to East Market Street near the historic Woolen Mills development.ChrisGensic, Charlottesville’s Parks and Trails Planner, says, “In Pantops, you’re only a couple of miles from the Downtown Mall and there’s no safe way to bike into Charlottesville. This bridge
Pantops’ reputation as one giant traf fic jam is not entirely undeserved. The nearly two-mile stretch of Route 250 from the I-64 interchange to Free Bridge can be solid traffic depending on the time of day.

UVA alum and Bonumose Chief Exec utive Officer and Co-Founder Ed Rogers says, “We will start tagatose production at the Charlottesville area facility in 2022, but I do not want to get any more specific than that.” Don’t expect the backlog of quitting time traffic to return to State Farm Boulevard, as Bonumose will only have 65 employees at the new produc tion facility.
The vacated campus is now home to Bonumose after a $27 million investment converted it into a production facility for tagatose, a low-glycemic, affordable, rare sugar that doesn’t promote tooth decay.
F is for Failing
The other end of 250 faces similar problems and backups with cars turning left across traffic to access I-64.
Last year the Thomas Jefferson Plan ning District Commission graded Free Bridge performance as F, reporting, “… there are currently 53,000 vehicles per day on Free Bridge which has resulted in an overall level of service of F. Modeling has shown that by 2040, approximately 70,000 vehicles a day will be using the bridge, making the already failing level of service 25 percent worse.”
gestion, VDOT is reengineering the I-64 Route 250 intersection into a diverging diamond design. Cars will be able to turn left onto and off I-64 ramps without stopping or crossing opposing lanes of traffic. This will give the intersec tion twice the capacity of the current configuration.Meanwhile,efforts to ease the load on Free Bridge include promoting alterna tive routes and getting people out of their cars. It’s an uphill battle, but not impossible.McArtor says “Pantops can work sur prisingly well for anyone who needs to get to 29 North. Skip Free Bridge and head out Stony Point Road to get to Target, the airport, UVA Research Park, and all the businesses north of town.
will open up safe routes for people that today don’t have much choice but to drive a McArtorcar.” warns, “Don’t line up to be the first to bike across the pedestrian bridge just yet. But this is worth paying attention to if you’re considering buying in Pantops.”Afterapedestrian death each of the past two years on Route 250, new pe destrian crossings at Rolkin Road and Stony Point Road are in the works to give walkers two more options to cross the busy highway.
The Pavilions at Pantops is a town home community north of 250 with a variety of floor plans and designs and large maintenance-free lots. Residents enjoy lawn care and landscaping yearround plus seven playgrounds, basket ball, and tennis courts.

Through the 1990’s and 2000’s, more new neighborhoods sprouted north of 250—Wilton Farm, Avemore, Fontana, and Hyland Ridge, and more recently, Cascadia and Riverside Village. Half-acre sites and rolling terrain are commonplace in the earlier neighborhoods with more density in Cascadia and Riverside Village.
At the same time, Cascadia had only one home for sale (a townhome for $619,000). Riverside Village and Hyland Ridge had none while Key West had one.

McArtor notes, “Avemore, Fontana, and Cascadia all have swimming pools. But Cascadia is one of the few new devel opments with a pool. Located at the top of the hill, patrons can enjoy the views while lounging in the pool.”
