MEMBER Virginia

Hello, Charlottesville! Thank you for reading C-VILLE Weekly. October is the spookiest month, so we’ve got a terrifying tale for you this week: the scourge of the dreaded, abominable, teeming, all-devouring spotted lanternfly!

Okay, so maybe the spotted lanternfly itself (or SLF for short) isn’t that scary. In fact, they can seem quite beautiful with their red hind wings and tasteful spots. But if you’ve heard of the lanternfly before, you know that it’s an invasive species terrorizing the eastern United States, and it’s coming for our crops and lawns. That means Virginia’s vineyards are at risk, too, and Paul Ting can tell you why in our cover story (p. 18). Grapes are apparently the most vulnerable crop of all.

Is there anything the average citizen can do? Well, entomologists say to squish the winged menaces. It’s smash-on-sight according to what I’ve read. In New York, the invasion got so intense that factions began to form: on one side, groups dedicated to stamping out the fly, even using a dedicated mobile app to track their kills, and on the other side, lanternfly apologists who believe killing the little guys is just plain wrong, and abstain from crushing any they see. But what can a pair of boots do, really, to stop the spread of an insect like this? Some experts think that the bug is here to stay, but that doesn’t mean we can’t slow its spread or control the population. So, I suppose, it’s up to you, reader: squash or spare?—Richard DiCicco

IN BRIEF

Riggleman goes blue

Former 5th District Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman endorsed 7th District Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger in a campaign ad released on October 10, praising Spanberger for ranking as the fifth-most bipartisan mem ber of Congress. In an interview with The Washington Post about the ad, Riggleman— who has been an outspoken opponent of for mer pres. Donald Trump’s election fraud claims—criticized Spanberger’s Republican opponent Yesli Vega, a Prince William Coun ty supervisor and sheriff’s deputy, for ques tioning the 2020 presidential election results.

(More) shots fired

On October 15, the Charlottesville Police Department responded to a shots fired inci dent near the Omni Hotel parking lot at around 5:15pm. Officers discovered a male juvenile with serious injuries, who was taken to the hospital. Another male juvenile victim arrived at the emergency room shortly after the shooting with non-life-threatening inju ries. “Two male juveniles were detained in the area and the incident is under investiga tion,” according to a city press release. On October 16, officers responded to a multiple shots fired call on the 800 block of Hardy Drive. Police found shell casings, but there were no injuries. The incident may be con nected to the Omni Hotel shooting. Anyone with information about either incident should contact the CPD at 977-4000.

Downtown gets bathrooms

Two public restrooms will open inside York Place on the Downtown Mall on November 1, announced Charlottesville’s Economic Development Authority during an October 11 meeting. The city has signed a one-year lease with York Place’s owners, who will maintain the restrooms. The downtown transit center’s public restrooms—which have been closed since the pandemic start ed—will also eventually reopen.

Banding together

Montpelier ‘feeling good as hell’

Three months after a dispute between the Montpelier Foundation Board and the Montpelier Descendants Committee was resolved with the historic installation of 11 new foundation board members recommended by the committee, an invitation to musical superstar Lizzo has put the historic property back in interna tional news for a decidedly more entertain ing reason.

“It was a tremendous moment, a beauti fully rich moment, where Lizzo kind of bridged so many different areas of history and the present,” says foundation board chair James French of Lizzo’s late September per formance on James Madison’s crystal flute at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

The flute is believed to have been a sponta neous gift to Madison from a Parisian flute maker in 1813, Montpelier’s Director of Mu seum Programs Hilarie Hicks told WINA. Hicks says the flute is engraved in French with Madison’s name and title, and was likely played by guests at Montpelier during Madison’s life. It was passed on to Madison’s wife and son, and later displayed at museums including the Smithsonian before a later owner left it in his will to the Library of Congress in 1941.

While French said there are no concrete plans yet for Lizzo to perform at Montpelier, morale among the estate’s board and staff is already high after the months of tension and uncertainty earlier this year. The archaeo logical work at the estate is continuing, and

PCOB director resigns

After just one year on the job, Charlottesville Police Oversight Board Executive Director Hansel Aguilar said he will resign—the latest in a long line of city leadership departures since 2017. He has accepted a new job as the director of police accountability for the City of Berkeley, California.

The City of Berkeley will pay Aguilar $200,000 annually—twice his starting salary in Charlottes ville—as well as a housing and relocation bonus, reports The Daily Progress.

“I think we were able to build some momentum around the police accountability here during my time, and hopefully I was able to contribute to some infrastructure that can be used to continue to work here,” said Aguilar during the PCOB’s October 13 meeting. “It wasn’t an easy decision for sure, [and] I wish the best for the city.”

other changes are also underway including the expansion of the annual commemora tion of the Constitution from a single day, September 17, to the entire month.

French says the new board will meet in person for the first time in November, and he’s optimistic about the future.

“We have the unique power of place where the Constitution itself was conceived along with a difficult, paradoxical history in which it was conceived. But the context of slavery and in looking at that history in a full way, we believe that we can offer the nation an extended, honest conversation about where we came from and how we move forward to reconcile and explore the strengths of our democracy.”

Aguilar’s resignation comes two weeks after he issued a neutral evaluation of the PCOB’s first case, which determined the Charlottesville Police Department did not “thoroughly, completely, and accurately” investigate the violent arrest of a man experiencing homelessness in 2020. During his tenure, he also helped craft the PCOB’s updated ordinance and proposed operating procedures.

During last week’s meeting, Aguilar said he would provide recommendations to City Council regarding “a path forward,” and urged the councilors to pass the operating procedures so the board can move ahead with outstanding cases.

Aguilar will leave Charlottesville for his new gig on October 21.

Still missing

Family of missing sisters push police for updates

By Lauren Dalban and Brielle Entzminger news@c-ville.com

On July 21, 11-year-old Beautiful and 13-year-old Zayla Christ mas went missing from their home in Albemarle County. Both sisters are Black females with brown eyes. Zayla is 4-foot-11 and 115 pounds, and was last seen wearing her hair in a long brown po nytail extending down to her ankles. Beau tiful is 4-foot-4 and 140 pounds, and was last seen with black and pink braids.

In a tweet on August 8, the Albemarle County Police Department announced that it had reclassified the Christmas girls’ disap pearance as a runaway case. The department asserted that “an out-of-state family mem ber, of the girls, shared with ACPD that they know their location and that the girls are safe.” However, the department has pro vided little additional information to the sisters’ family, increasing their worry and frustration for nearly three months, accord ing to family member Myra Anderson.

In an open letter to the ACPD shared with C-VILLE on September 28, Ander son—who is the cousin of the sisters’ guardian, Cristal Christmas—criticized the department for its lack of transparency, and pushed for answers to a list of ques tions. Anderson and Christmas declined to speak with C-VILLE for this story.

“My understanding is that a Detective from your department (Lavin) has confirmed that the girls had been [sighted] in Richmond, VA, and Henderson, NC,” wrote Anderson in her letter. “If this is true, why has there been no public update on the case? If folks in these locations knew the girls were missing, they could be on [the] lookout for them and alert authorities if they are [sighted].”

In response to the ACPD’s August 8 tweet, Anderson claimed that “no one” in their fam ily has seen or heard from the sisters since the day they disappeared. She also ques tioned why the department has not charged Corneesha Powell, the “out-of-state family member” who the sisters are with, or pub licly announced the warrant allegedly issued for Powell in relation to the case.

“How could you take someone’s word that the girls are safe without seeing or speaking with the girls yourself?” asked Anderson. “How can you be sure they are not being trafficked? Zayla has been with out medication for over two months.”

In a public Facebook post on July 26, Powell, who claims to be the sisters’ bio logical mother, admitted to facing criminal charges in relation to the case, and claimed

she was “protecting what [she] birthed” from alleged abuse.

“To present day Zayla runs away because Cristal verbally abused her telling her that myself and her father don’t love her [and] we abandoned her. Threatened to throw her in a fireplace and physically hit [her],” wrote Powell. “So Zayla started running away … unbeknownst to me this verbal and emotional abuse turned to [Beautiful] when Zayla would run away.”

“So now they have both [run] away and I now [have] the full story to all verbal, mental, emotional, and physical abuse,” added Powell. “So no I will not tell them where my children are and if I have to go to jail because of it then so be it.”

Zayla previously went missing on May 20 and was reported as a runaway. The ACPD announced that she had been found on June 7.

According to the Black and Missing Foundation, children of color who go miss ing are more likely to be classified as run aways, even when case details suggest otherwise. This often means that Amber Alerts are not sent out for these children, and they receive less news coverage.

“I am feeling like this case … is not being given much attention [or] being taken se riously? Two months is a very long time for two young girls to still be missing,” wrote Anderson in the conclusion of her letter, pushing the ACPD to offer a reward for information related to the case. “I feel like if this were two little white girls miss ing, your department would have found them by now, or at a minimum provided more [updates] to the public.”

In a statement to C-VILLE on October 14, the ACPD maintained that it is still searching for the young girls.

“In August, we received and verified in formation confirming the sisters were safe,” said the department. “The Christmas sis ters remain a priority for ACPD and we continue to actively investigate this case along with partners in other jurisdictions.”

Anyone with information regarding the missing sisters should contact Detective Lavin at 296-5807, or Crime Stoppers at 9774000 or crimestoppers@albemarle.org.

“Two months is a very long time for two young girls to still be missing.”

‘Life or death issue’

College students fight Youngkin’s transgender student policy

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

Since Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s ad ministration announced its pro posed transgender student policy on September 16, thousands of students, parents of transgender children, and LG BTQ+ activists and supporters across the state have protested against it.

The threat of increased suicides among transgender youth pushed Sigma Omicron Rho, the University of Virginia’s only queer and gender-inclusive fraternity, to take immediate action.

“When we saw these policies, [Sigma Omicron Rho] sat down as an organiza tion and asked ourselves if we would have lived through this policy—and a lot of us weren’t sure. Because a lot of us come out of homes that it would not have been safe for us to be out in those homes,” says thirdyear student Oliver Lesher, who is trans gender. “A lot of us had to wait until col lege to even begin our transitions.”

“To us, this was a life or death issue,” he adds.

On September 20, Sigma Omicron Rho partnered with three other queer organi zations at UVA—the Queer Student Union, Lambda Law Alliance, and oSTEM—to form the Virginia Collegiate Queer Col lective, combining their resources, efforts, and numbers to fight the governor’s pol icy and other anti-queer legislation in the state. Since then, two queer organizations at the University of Richmond have also joined the collective. The group is cur rently in negotiations with around seven queer organizations at other universities across the state, including George Mason, Christopher Newport, and Virginia State.

UVA has more queer organizations than many other Virginia schools, so “we want ed to use that privileged position to foster a sense of leadership and community,” ex plains Lesher, VCQC’s outreach director.

Youngkin’s controversial policy would force transgender students to participate in school programing and use facilities based on the sex they were assigned at birth. School staff would also be prohib ited from referring to transgender stu dents by their preferred name and pro nouns unless a parent submits legal documentation of their gender identity, and requests in writing that their child’s name and gender be changed on official school records. Even with parental per mission, staff would not be required to use a student’s name and pronouns if it goes against their beliefs.

“With these policies, no trans kid will

The policy’s 30-day public comment period will end on October 26, after which the state superintendent will decide whether or not to approve the policy.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s proposed transgender student policy prompted members of UVA’s Sigma Omicron Rho fraternity to form the Virginia Collegiate Queer Collective with three other queer organizations at the university.

Private matters

UVA professor and privacy expert warns about ‘weaponized intimate info’

By Richard DiCicco richard@c-ville.com

On the evening of October 11, Danielle Keats Citron took the stage in the Swanson Case room at the downtown library to speak about her latest book, The Fight for Privacy: Pro tecting Dignity, Identity, and Love in the Digital Age. The event, organized by Cville Dems, put Citron in conversation with her friend and peer William Hitchcock, a UVA history professor and co-host of the “De mocracy in Danger” podcast

Citron, the Jefferson Scholars Founda tion Schenck Distinguished Professor in Law and Caddell and Chapman Professor of Law at UVA, won a MacArthur “genius grant” in 2019. For years, her work has focused on the intersection of law and technology—an area she believes is in dire need of reform.

“Law does a bad job,” said Citron. “Law is inadequate to the task” of protecting our private lives.

At the outset of the talk, Hitchcock— one of the first to read the book in manu script form—warned the crowd that Cit ron would both dazzle and frighten with her tales of privacy violations.

In writing The Fight for Privacy, she interviewed 60 women around the world who had intimate details of their lives spread online without their consent. In one instance, a woman she calls Joan stayed in a hotel on a work trip, and upon returning home got an email from some one who had sent her a PornHub link to a video of her undressing and using the bathroom in the hotel. Accompanying the link was a threat that the sender would distribute the footage to her family, friends, and co-workers if Joan didn’t respond with sexually explicit videos of herself.

When Joan didn’t reply, the sender made good on the threat. This attack, with what Citron identifies as “nonconsensual por nography,” upended Joan’s life and career because her real name was embedded in each posted video, and scrubbing it off the internet was impossible.

“Victims have told me it’s an incurable disease,” said Citron. “You can’t sue the platforms, they’re immune from respon sibility, there are over 9,500 sites … their entire business model is nonconsensual intimate imagery.”

For her new book, The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity, Identity, and Love in the Digital Age, Danielle Citron inter viewed 60 women who had intimate details of their lives spread online without their consent.

These sites are protected by what’s sim ply known as Section 230—a part of the Communications Decency Act—which shields online platforms from being treat ed as a publisher of user-uploaded content. And scenarios like Joan’s are similar to the trend of “revenge porn,” where jilted expartners share intimate imagery of some one without their consent.

“We figure ourselves out through our bodies,” said Citron. “We need to enjoy human dignity, social esteem, to be seen as fully integrated selves. But when we’re just a photo of a vagina online, we become a fragment. We’re not subjects or objects.”

Citron believes intimate privacy is cen tral to human and civil rights. She’s written about the topic since 2008, studying the laws surrounding it. And she’s determined that existing laws don’t do enough to pro tect individual privacy in the 21st century.

HIPAA, she uses as an example, can’t pro tect user searches on WebMD, or seal the data captured by a period-tracking app. Instead, privacy is viewed in the United States as a “consumer protection matter”: If companies are transparent about what they gather, they’re not liable for mislead ing users. Why they collect that data isn’t a question they’re compelled to answer.

“The notion is it’s part of the market data flow. It’s efficient, it’s profitable,” said Cit ron. “There isn’t anything standing in the way of the data broker business. We have to change that.”

“When we’re just a photo of a vagina online, we become a fragment.”

Area winemakers try to stay a step ahead of the spotted lanternfly

By Paul Ting

There’s a new pest in town—and it’s after our grapes, apples, and hops. Oh, and it could also wreak havoc on log gers, certified organic and certified naturally grown producers, and our yards. You may have heard of it: the spotted lanternfly.

The spotted lanternfly is a planthopper native to areas of Asia, particularly China, that has spread invasively through acciden tal introduction of its eggs to other regions including South Korea, Japan, and the Unit ed States. It was first detected domestically in September 2014 in Pennsylvania, and has since spread to most of the northeastern United States. Although it feeds widely on many different plants, the SLF displays a fondness for grapevines, fruit trees, and for est trees. Once established, it can cause the widespread loss of agricultural crops—in the state of Pennsylvania it’s estimated the SLF has caused the agricultural and forestry industries to lose several hundred million dollars annually, as well as a possible loss of thousands of jobs.

The lanternfly was detected in Virginia in January 2018, and first seen in Albemarle County in July of 2021. Its local arrival is of significant concern, a threat to our wine grapes and other crops such as apples, peaches, and hops. While area farmers have not yet seen much evidence of the pest, most agree it’s just a matter of time, and the understanding of invasive species such as SLF suggests it is prob ably already too late to eradicate it.

Jake Busching, winemaker at Hark Vine yards and Jake Busching Wines, has decades of experience growing grapes in Virginia. He cites previous examples of invasive pests such as the spotted wing drosophila and marmorated stink bug when he says that SLF is almost certainly here to stay. He also expresses faith in the efforts of scientists to mitigate the effects once it reaches local vineyards, noting Penn State University is out front in terms of research. “There will be seasons of difficulty and some damage, but growers in other states are leading the way with reacting,” says Busching. “So, when it gets to our region, we will have a process to deal with them.”

Henry Chiles (the 10th), whose family runs local favorites Carter Mountain Or chard, Chiles Peach Orchard, Spring Valley Orchard, and Chiswell Farm and Winery, admits he’s anxious to see what the impact will be on his crops. Like Busching, Chiles is resigned to the fact that eradication is likely impossible, and spread is inevitable. In addition to spotted wing drosophila and stink bugs, he also cites the Japanese beetle and emerald ash borer as examples of inva sive species that “got away from us” in terms of quarantine and eradication efforts.

While there is currently limited awareness of SLF, Chiles says, “I think the general pub lic will become very aware once it is better established. SLF can and will feed on land scape trees and shrubs in high numbers. The real problem for homeowners will be the

honeydew [slang for the secretions of SLF], which is a sugary rich solution that quickly grows sooty mold and makes everything black, including your backyard patio set.”

Douglas Pfeiffer, fruit entomologist at Virginia Tech, hypothesizes that the risk to orchard crops, hops, and vegetables may be less than to grapevines, but that the issue needs further research. He does, however, express concern about possible effects on the logging industry. “Eggs are laid on trees and are present for about eight months of the year,” says Pfeiffer. “Since the eastern United States population is the first occur

with mealybugs and leafroll virus. The added sprays themselves will pose a cost for growers.”

Ruth Saunders, whose family has been farming Silver Creek Orchards for seven generations, is ready with such a plan. She compares the current situation to develop ing a spray program for stink bugs in the apple orchards over a decade ago. “I feel like we are ahead of the curve with the spotted lanternfly,” says Saunders. “We know it is here, and we just need to address it when it arrives on our farm. I feel like operations that have a solid spray program and are detail-oriented in the care of their

As scientists work on possible solutions other than insecticides, efforts are growing to slow the spread by establishing quar antine areas and eliminating SLF when found. In addition, there is ongoing edu cation about how to recognize all the life stages of the pest, how to prevent trans porting it from one area to another, and to encourage people to report seeing the lanternfly. These efforts also involve active reduction of the population of a tree known as Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), which grows widely in Virginia. Ironically, this tree is also an invasive spe cies and is a key host for SLF. The hope is that these efforts will slow the spread of SLF and allow more time to find potential long-term solutions.

Hambsch insists that there should be more awareness about this issue in our com munity. “I’d encourage folks to search for spotted lanternfly on YouTube if they want to see why SLF is so concerning,” he says.

“Vineyards might be high-profile, but every property owner in our area will be affected. So, it’s an everyone problem, not just a vine yard problem. … If the community could

rence outside of Asia, the potential for egg movement may complicate international shipment of logs.”

“By far, the most vulnerable crop is grape, where proper management is required to avoid vine death,” Pfeiffer says, noting that current control of the issue is centered on insecticide.

“While SLF is not hard to kill, during the adult stage there is a problem with continued im migration into vineyards. There are some indirect costs here that need to be considered.

The sprays needed in vineyards may disrupt natural controls for other pests, so vigilance will be needed to avoid problems associated

fruit will be able to deal with this pest. Vineyards that are not committed to a solid spray program may struggle.”

For Karl Hambsch, owner of Loving Cup Vineyard & Winery, the only certified-or ganic vineyard in Virginia, the use of syn thetic insecticides is not an option, and finding alternative treatments for SLF is of utmost importance. “We only have one or ganic spray that might kind of work against SLF,” says Hambsch. “So, once it gets here, we will have our hands full … invasive pests are definitely a wild card that might upset the good thing we have going here.”

INVADERS

become super-involved in monitoring, iden tifying, and killing the insects as soon they are found, we can buy the scientists a couple more years to work on the problem.”

It’s not just Hambsch putting out this message. According to Grace Monger, Vir ginia Tech’s associate agriculture and natu ral resources extension agent for Nelson County, “The public can help by participat ing in citizen science projects to track the spread and by checking their vehicles and other materials before moving them. SLF depends on human assisted transportation, so if we can educate the public … we can have a major impact. In a world with an increasingly global economy, increased transportation of goods, and increased con sumer disconnect with food production, our best tool is public education.”

While Monger admits “the natural pro gression of most invasive species is that they’ll continue to spread despite preven tion efforts,” she is careful to emphasize that it is not a futile effort. “If we never resist, all we would have would be dense monocultures of invasive species and no agriculture industry or natural world to enjoy. Chipping away at current popula tions and limiting spread are the two most significant management strategies.”

Monger is even more specific when talk ing about the area around Charlottesville.

“Albemarle County produces 21 percent of the wine grapes in the state of Virginia,” she says. “If there is anyone that should be con cerned about this issue, it’s Albemarle Coun ty residents. The tax dollars those vineyards bring in is substantial.”

To learn more about the SLF, go to albemarle. org and search for “spotted lanternfly.”

The spotted lanternfly’s local arrival is of significant concern, a threat to our wine grapes and other crops such as apples, peaches, and hops

MEATLESS MEETS MEATY, BEER CHOPS, AND THE EASY WAY OUT OF THANKSGIVING KITCHEN DUTY

A noodle moove

A new dining spot with a familiar face is moo-ving into the lineup at Dairy Market. Basta Pasta, an original concept kitchen from Dino Hoxha (the chef behind Dairy Market’s Dino’s Wood-fired Pizza & Grill) offers homemade, artisanal pastas with many combinations of shapes, sauces, and flavors, and fully vegan options.

Basta Pasta is taking over the stall for merly occupied by GRN BRGR, but fear not—the popular plant-based fast-casu al option has merged locations with the meatier Citizen Burger Stand.

Wood cookies and all

They’re back, with an ax! Devils Backbone Brewing Company pairs pints with the burley, nature-loving, flannel grace of lumberjack sports at the second annual Backbone Lumberjack Classic. Taking place on October 21 and 22 at its Base camp Brewpub & Meadows, the week end-long event features professional woodcutting categories such as the men’s hotsaw, the women’s underhand chop, and more. Early arrivals will be treated to meet-and-greets with the athletes on Saturday, and the first 50 guests receive a free autographed cookie (wood slice) from the previous day’s events.

The competition, created in partnership with Virginia native and lumbersports champion Scooter Cogar, will also feature food specials and beers like the Backbone

Premium Lager, which is said to pair nice ly with the smell of freshly cut lumber.

Pink about it

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Dairy Market is part nering with the Martha Jefferson Hospi tal Foundation to raise money, love, and support for breast cancer treatment pro grams. Join the fight by enjoying special pink drinks and menu items at vendor stalls, including The Milkman’s Bar, which is donating half of all proceeds from October’s sales of its Rose Quartz cocktail.

Prepare to be stuffed

Is it too early to think about Thanksgiv ing? No, it’s not. Get ahead of the cooking stress by pre-ordering your turkey and all the fixin’s—so you avoid your entire family crammed into one kitchen trying to mash, slice, and toss.

Many area restaurants, farms, and pro visioners like Bizou, Feast!, and Farm Bell Kitchen are already ready to take your Thanksgiving pre-orders. From the bird itself to Feast!’s “Everything But The Bird” side-dish package, there’s no short age of easy pickup options to fit your appetite this Thanksgiving.—Will Ham

An artist’s perspective

Lincoln Perry’s new book offers ways to make art less intimidating

By Sarah Sargent arts@c-ville.com

Lincoln Perry has been a prominent figure on the Charlottesville art scene since the mid-1980s. An acclaimed muralist with significant work in landscapes, figurative paintings, and sculpture, Perry’s murals grace walls around the country includ ing the Met Life building in St. Louis and at the University of Virginia. “The Student’s Progress,” in UVA’s Old Cabell Hall, follows the journey of a fictional student named Shan non from her undergraduate days into her adulthood when she becomes a professor at the university. Consisting of 29 panels, the piece took 16 years to complete.

Perry first visited Charlottesville in 1970, and returned 15 years later to fill in for Phil ip Geiger, teaching drawing for a semester at UVA. It was during this time that he met his wife, author Ann Beattie, who was also teaching at UVA. After about a decade, the couple left Charlottesville, but returned in 2001. Both held teaching positions until 2012. They now divide time between Maine, Virginia, and Florida.

C-VILLE caught up with Perry in Maine, where he was fresh off an interview with the local NPR affiliate, to talk about his new book, Seeing Like an Artist: What Artists Perceive in the Art of Others. He will discuss the book at New Dominion Bookshop on the Downtown Mall on Saturday, October 22.

C-VILLE Weekly: I think of you as a paint er. Have you always written?

Lincoln Perry: No, in fact, I just came across a notebook I kept in 1981 that’s really badly written. So, somewhere along the line, I think maybe from living with Ann, I must have improved.

I was struck by the quality of your writing. There are numerous beautifully written paragraphs—I loved, in particular, your descriptions of the Bruegels. I also liked the way you integrated modern references and popular culture into your writing, it struck me as akin to what you did with paint in the Cabell Hall mural. That’s actually interesting. I hadn’t even thought of that.

I would think your narrative talent would serve you well helping you conceive of murals.

Yes. I wish I could do more of them. The hard part is getting the job. I was just a fi nalist for a courthouse in Alabama. It would have been fun. I enjoy the external collabo ration of projects like that.

Are you continuing to write, and if so, how do you balance that with artmaking?

I can only paint for so long and I can only sculpt for so long, or draw for so long. Writ

ing is a way to fill in the chinks between those other bricks.

I love the way the little sketches included in the book make us see the art through your eyes and pay attention to what you are looking at.

Some part of me thought I should make them more diagrammatic, but then I decid ed that doesn’t do justice to the things, so, I did my best to do copies.

What are you looking for when you look at art?

The book was originally going to be called Stealing from Museums, but the trouble was they thought it would be put in the crime section. But that’s really what it’s about—how painters and potentially non-painters learn to see in different ways. I think a lot of people are intimidated by visual art; they think there’s something they’re supposed to be getting. It’s a visual experience first. Let it wash over you

“It’s best to see some things well as opposed to trying to see everything.”

and take pleasure in it. The idea is not to be intimidated or exhausted. It’s best to see some things well as opposed to trying to see every thing. When I first went to Italy, I had one of the Blue Guides and I thought, because it was in the book, I had to go see it, and it became insane. Eventually, I realized that you can get more out of less.

I didn’t realize, until I read the book, that you sculpted. Is that something you’ve always done?

That started about 30 years ago. Difficulty in terests me. Making a sculpture that’s legible and enticing from 360 degrees as opposed to, say, one view or two views is really difficult.

About three years ago I started carving marble, which is ridiculously difficult. It’s almost too much: I feel like, c’mon, I’m too old for this.

The stuff weighs a ton and is hard as a rock.

But it does make me realize I spend at least as much time in museums looking at sculpture as I do paintings. They have to be seen in the round and, as I say in the book, you really have to be there in “the presence of” in order to read them properly. Which is also true of paintings, more than people know.

Describe a dream art-viewing trip.

A dream trip would be returning to the Vil la Valmarana ai Nani in Vicenza, Italy, to see the Tiepolo frescoes. I also want to see Na ples again because of the museums there.

As a successful creative person married to a successful creative person, how do you give equal opportunity to your respective practices?

Well, I read everything she writes, but not until she feels it’s done. It’s harder for me to lure her into the studio. She has a very good eye, but she’s really more interested in pho tography; she takes beautiful photographs—I think she should publish them. Painting’s a little mysterious to her and she wishes I wouldn’t carve marble because I’m getting old and I’ve got arthritis and she wonders what I’m doing this for. I totally respect what she does. I enjoy writing these essays but I cannot imagine writing fiction, and she can’t imagine painting. I suppose there are happy marriages among two painters or two writers, but in our case, it works well that we’re in different fields.

Any upcoming exhibitions?

I’ll be in “Home and Away,” organized by Robert Stuart at the Beverley Street Studio School Gallery in Staunton, which runs from November 18 to January 2.

I hope the last line of the book sums it up. (“This isn’t the anxiety of influence; it’s the joy of influence.”) This is all supposed to be about the joy of influence. Rather than feeling op pressed or confused or intimidated by our tradition, we’re allowed to love it and enjoy it because it’s beautiful. It’s something we’ve done as humans that we can actually be proud of.

By Rob Brezsny

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here are two top Scorpio pastimes: 1. Explore and deploy your intense, fertile creativity. 2. Spiral gleefully down into deep dark voids in pursuit of deep dark rich es. Sometimes those two hobbies dovetail quite well; you can satisfy both pursuits si multaneously. One of my favorite variations on this scenario is when the deep dark void you leap into turns out to actually be a lush wonderland that stimulates your intense, fertile creativity. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, that’s likely to happen soon.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I don’t want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.” Sagittar ian filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow said that. With the help of this attitude, she became the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for Best Director. Her film was The Hurt Locker, about American soldiers in Iraq who dispose of unexploded bombs while being harassed by enemies. Anyway, Bigelow’s approach is usually too hard-ass for me. I’m a sensitive Cancer the Crab, not a bold Sagittarius the Centaur like Bigelow and you. But I don’t want to assume you’re in the mood for her approach. If you are, though, the coming weeks will be a favor able time to deploy it. Some marvelous epiphanies and healing changes will be available if you forswear stuff that makes you pacified or comfortable.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Jan Richardson tells us we can’t return home by taking the same route we used when we departed. This will be wise advice for you to keep in mind during the next nine months. I expect you will be attempting at least two kinds of homecomings. For best results, plan to travel by different routes than those that might seem natural and obvious. The most direct path—the successful passage—may be circuitous.

Libra

getting sour and tense as you do this, I recommend you proceed with wicked hu mor and sly irony. Here are three saucy self-protective statements you can use to ward off threats and remain inviolable. 1. “The current ambiance does not align sweetly with my vital soul energy; I must go track down some more harmonious karma.” 2. “This atmosphere is out of sync with my deep precious selfness; I am com pelled to take my deep precious selfness elsewhere.” 3. “The undertones here are agitating my undercurrents; it behooves me to track down groovier overtones.”

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20): While asleep, have you ever dreamt of discovering new rooms in a house or other building you know well? I bet you will have at least one such dream soon. What does it mean? It suggests you want and need to get in touch with parts of yourself that have been dormant or unavail able. You may uncover evocative secrets about your past and present that had been unknown to you. You will learn about new resources you can access and provocative possibilities you had never imagined.

Aries

(March 21-April 19): “We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” Aries mythologist Joseph Campbell said that, and now I’m pass ing it on to you just in time for the Sacred

Taurus

(April 20-May 20): Plastic bags are used for an average of 12 minutes before being dis carded. Then they languish in our soil or oceans, degrading slowly as they cause may hem for animals and ecosystems. In align ment with current cosmic rhythms, I’m en couraging you to be extra discerning in your relationship with plastic bags—as well as with all other unproductive, impractical, wasteful things and people. In the coming weeks, you will thrive by focusing on what will serve you with high integrity for a long time.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20): Achilleas Frangakis is a professor of electron microscopy. He studies the biochemistry of cells. In one of his re search projects, he investigated how cells interact with the outside world. He didn’t learn much about that question, but as he experimented, he inadvertently uncovered fascinating new information about another subject: how cells interact with each other when they heal a wound. His successful fail ure was an example of what scientists some times do: They miss what they looked for, but find unexpected data and make serendipitous discoveries. I suspect you will experience comparable luck sometime soon, Gemini. Be alert for goodies you weren’t in quest of.

from well-worn routes. However, I don’t rec ommend you do the equivalent of running your train off the tracks. Let’s instead imagine you as piloting a four-wheel-drive, all-terrain vehicle. Go off-road to explore. Improvise enthusiastically as you reconnoiter the un known. But do so with scrupulous attention to what’s healthy and inspiring.

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22): In recent years, art histo rians have recovered numerous masterpiec es that had been missing for years. They include a sculpture by Bernini, a sketch by Picasso, a drawing by Albrecht Dürer, and a painting by Titian. I’m a big fan of efforts like these: searching for and finding lost treasures. And I think you should make that a fun project in the coming weeks. Are there any beautiful creations that have been lost or forgotten? Useful resources that have been neglected? Wild truths that have been bur ied or underestimated? In accordance with astrological potentials, I hope you will ex plore such possibilities.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The most important ex perience for you to seek in the coming months is to be seen and respected for who you really are. Who are the allies best able to give you that blessing?

I’d love to invite all Libras, including non-writers, to apply that perspective in their own sphere. Just forget about heaven and hell for now.

SUNNYSIDE

Scotsville’s Charm:

Amazing, Cool, and Unique

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

Lawless has always been a walkto-work kind of guy. When he accepted the position as Scottsville’s Town Administrator, a prerequisite was being able to live within walking distance of work.

He hit the jackpot in Scottsville. Law less lives above the coffee shop, walks to work, can go out for a lunchtime pizza, and hit the James River Brewery when the day is done. All of this while logging less than a mile for the day.

While larger cities struggle with con nectivity and pedestrian-friendly streets, Scottsville oozes walkability. With sub urbia and cities struggling to recover their sense of place, Scottsville remains unique, cool, and unspoiled.

The only incorporated town in Al bemarle, Scottsville is tucked into the southern end of the county in a horse shoe bend of the James River where farm ers have long enjoyed the flood plain’s rich soil.

People, homes, and businesses con verged here when rivers were the most efficient means of transportation. Boat men resupplied and a pole ferry crossing sprang up where the river current slows around the bend.

MattFounded in 1744, Scottsville served as the Albemarle County seat, transporta tion, and commerce hub. Then a new courthouse was built in Charlottesville in 1762, and in the following century river traffic declined. Those changes set Scottsville on a new course. One focused on the outdoors instead of courtrooms and administrative offices.

Boom Town Wannabe

Throughout Scottsville’s history, the James River both incited and quashed the town’s growth. From the middle of the eighteenth century until Hurricane Agnes in 1972, 21 floods topped the 20-foot mark. Agnes topped out at 34 feet and “The Great Fresh of 1771” was 10 feet above that. After each of these major floods, residents and businesses had to decide whether to clean up and start again or leave. And Scottsville’s reputation as a flood town kept new comers away.

The defining one-two punch came from Hurricane Camille in 1969 followed by Hurricane Agnes that landed before Camille’s damages could be paid off. These events shifted efforts from recovery to prevention. A dam and impound ment on Mink Creek and levees along the James River have kept the James in its banks and out of Scottsville’s streets for the past 30 years.

“We haven’t had river flooding since 1989 when the levees were built,” says Lawless, who is also the town’s Flood Plane Administrator. “They are 3 feet higher than the flooding from Hurricane Agnes. I think it’s safe to say we have outlived our reputation for flooding.”

With Mink Creek and the James River tamed, Scottsville should be primed for take-off. But the numbers show a differ ent pattern. A peak population of 620 occurred in 1990, the year the levees were dedicated. Subsequent census counts were 556 in 2000, 566 in 2010, 559 in 2020, and a somewhat worrisome drop to 516 this year.

All the Features

Old-time city planners described three features of a viable town: a post office, a school, and at least one store. Scotts ville has that covered, though the only school goes through 5th grade before students go out of town to the Walton Middle School and then to Monticello High School.

The modern planners’ version adds a coffee shop, a brewery, a restaurant, and something to do when you’re not eating and drinking. Again, Scottsville delivers admirably.

Baine’s Books & Coffee and the James River Brewery cover the first two, and you can take your pick from among a delightful variety of other restaurants.

Choose the Batteau Restaurant and Wine Bar for elegance paired with casual. Last year The Daily Progress awarded it the Charlottesville Readers’ Choice Award for the area restaurant with the best wine selection. Tavern on the James and Amici’s Italian Bistro are among several other choices lining Valley Street in town.

When it comes to the something-to-do category, there is nothing bigger than the James River and Scottsville’s green spaces.

The Great Outdoors

The James River attracts a lot of at tention. Outfitters send paddlers down stream on a tube, raft, or kayak, and get them back to their starting point. Anglers can go it alone or connect with a trip guide. The public boat ramp in town makes an outing on the river as easy as floating downstream.

The James is not the only outdoor at traction. The Van Clief Nature Area is a 63-acre downtown park with two miles of hiking trails. It is home to the 3.5-acre Scottsville Lake, essential to the town’s flood control efforts. It is stocked with trout, and open to the public.

Scottsville is successfully connect ing its green spaces into an “emerald necklace” encircling the town. The neck lace’s gems are Van Clief, the Levee Walk, SCAN Land, and the West Downtown Wetlands Park.

The Levee Walk is a one-mile elevated

walkway that parallels the James River and goes under Route 20. A popular walking and running spot, it is part of the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail and accessible by several downtown streets on both sides of the highway.

SCAN Land is a 13-acre preserved meadow and forest along Hardware Street on the northern edge of town. Do nated to SCAN (Scottsville’s Center for the Arts and the Natural Environment) in 2004, there are big plans underway for its use. An outdoor sculpture garden with artwork from UVA students and profes sors has been installed. An amphitheater is in the planning stages and Scottsville Supply Company donated two hives to establish public beehives.

The 18-acre West Downtown Wet lands Park is adjacent to the abandoned tire factory and is linked to SCAN Land via a sewer easement. Grant funding helped the town purchase a public ac cess easement to preserve the wetland and protect water quality.

Trails also connect SCAN Land to the Van Clief Nature Area, and to downtown via the Mink Creek Trail. In all, four miles of natural trails connect to the historic downtown. From there, it’s a comfortable stroll towards the James River to the Levee Walk.

atre program, the Victory Hall Players, has worked to return the 100-plus-seat Victory Hall Theatre into a viable perfor mance space, while municipal business is carried on upstairs. SCAN received an $8,500 grant to help make badly needed updates to the theatre.

Walking around Scottsville, it’s hard to miss SCAN’s impact. Sometimes it’s bold, covering entire storefronts or bring ing 13 acres to life. Other times it’s as subtle as a painted trail marker.

Above all, SCAN is a prolific connec tor. There are very few initiatives going on in Scottsville that don’t have SCAN’s fingerprints on them. From the natural environment and the arts, to bringing history to life, SCAN is embedded in Scottsville’s unique character.

A History to be Celebrated

It’s not surprising that, in the place where Thomas Jefferson practiced law (the old county courthouse), most of the structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

From Monacan Indian days, colonial history, batteau and canal days, through the Civil War and Reconstruction to more recent history, the Scottsville Mu seum and other sites tell quite a story.

Canal Basin Square brings the his tory of the James River and canal to life.

Art Everyday Everywhere

SCAN plays an oversized role in Scottsville’s outdoor and environmental scene. Their partnerships have attracted everything from bees to dollars to im prove, expand and make the town’s green space accessible to everyone.

The Floods of Record monument helps visitors visualize just how devastating each major flood was to the town and its people. The replica flat-bottomed batteau boats and photographs set the stage for life when the James River was the lifeblood of the town for more than just recreation. The annual James River Batteau Festival reenacts Scottsville’s early nineteenth-century lifestyle.

Although hugely successful, SCAN President Erin Root recognized the most ly volunteer organization was spreading itself too thin. “After some strategic plan ning this summer we decided to focus on our public art efforts and SCAN Land. Our public art—murals, creative wayfind ing, storefront exhibits, and galleries— calls out critical issues such as caring for our environment. And SCAN Land gives us the perfect hands-on way to do this.”

Part of that public art includes com munity theatre. In 1960, Scottsville’s Victory Hall Theatre closed after 40 years of silent films, Hollywood classics, and live performances to become Scottsville’s Municipal Building.

Coming from a large family of contractors; my “job” growing up was to be the “helper” which gave me a “hands on” approach from building walls, demolishing old structures, designing layouts etc. This foundation is part of what drove me to begin in Real Estate in the area of Charlottesville, VA.

town remains optimistic. Chalk it up to what Lawless calls “survivorship bias” when he talks about the historic homes still standing in Scottsville after 200 years of flooding.

It seems the people of Scottsville have a survivorship bias as well.

And real estate developments under consideration may provide just the shot in the arm Scottsville needs.

A proposal for 36 new homes on Bird Street has received preliminary approval. Although no dirt has been moved, this

is the first subdivision approved under the town’s updated zoning code allowing for clustered development. Construction is expected to get underway next year.

REALTOR® Debi Dotson with Real Estate III – West, says, “Change is coming. There are always concerns with changes, and there are pluses and minuses. But look at the way our population has been trending.

“There has been talk of new develop ment for years… no, decades. Proposals have come and gone, but this looks like it’s going to stick. The 36 homes on

Bird Street have passed a lot of hurdles already. This will be an exciting devel opment for Scottsville and a chance for people who want to move here but can’t find a house.”

The second development calls for a renovation of the tire factory into 205 apartments and other amenities, to be called Scottsville Lofts. The proposal is only at the public hearing stage but there seems to be some enthusiasm for bolstering the town’s population and reusing a facility idled for 13 years.

Dotson is optimistic. She says, “Traf fic is a big concern. But developers are really taking the townspeople’s views into consideration and the initial de signs are historically pleasing. You can’t please everyone. Some will say no to any change at all.

“The Scottsville Lofts proposal has a long way to go but I think there is new sentiment around town. The min utes from this public hearing were very positive and productive. I think that’s in part due to the open-minded approach the developer is taking and all the work our planning commission and staff have done.”

Lawless agrees. “The public hearing on October 3 went very well. There is always some resistance to change. Remember, Scottsville was laid out for horses and buggies and that creates some challenges. We have to ask ourselves what we want our town to be. Most agree that we want clean streets, safe crosswalks, people walking to and fro. We want to remain a small town.”

“The bottom line,” says Dotson, “we don’t want to become the next Crozet. Even if we grow a little bit, some things will stay the same. We’ll always have the James River and our proximity to Charlottesville. Other things we have to protect—that small-town feeling, neigh bors supporting each other.

“Scottsville is just an amazing place; cool and unique. And we can keep it that way.”
