Festival BOOK OF
THE VIRGINIA
A
little girl clutches books, blocks, and teddy bears, and her bemused father writes a gentle critique of materialism. A blues fan combs through old newspapers, oral histories and property deeds to tell the story of a legendary Memphis neighborhood, and a novelist imagines the death of ‘America’s Dad,’ the better to separate the sitcom hero from the real-life rapist who played him. History and values, adoration and disillusionment – here in Central Virginia we’re always writing about something, except when we’re reading about it, or except when we’re listening to our favorite authors at the Virginia Festival of the Book. Our 2016 celebration of all things literary takes place March 16-20 in Charlottesville, with an expected attendance of more than 20,000 readers and over 400 writers, illustrators and publishing professionals. Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton will be on hand for the Opening Ceremony, noon Wednesday, March 16 at the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library, where The Virginia Center of the Book will honor the winning students in the state’s Letters About Literature contest.

MARC BOSTON
This year’s teen and young readers programs are spread out over all five days, and Charlottesville author Marc Boston will take part in several events. Boston’s picture book “The Girl Who Carried Too Much Stuff” was inspired by his young daughter Delaney’s habit of bringing as many
of her possessions as she could whenever she left home. “On the surface, the story gently touches on the issue of overconsumption and materialism that is widespread in our culture today,” Boston says. “Underneath, the story is also a metaphor for all the assorted ‘baggage’ that we carry with us through life from the past, and how we could attempt to let that ‘stuff’ go as well.” Boston will lead story times exploring the theme of sharing on Thursday, March 17 at 10:00 a.m. at Congregation Beth Israel and at 2:00 p.m. in the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center. He will appear with fellow authors Phil Bildner (“Marvelous Cornelius”) and Sue Fliess (“Calling All Cars”) Saturday March 19 at 4:00 p.m. at Village School, and will sign books Sunday, March 20 at 3:00 p.m. at Alakazam Toys and Gifts. Jon Scieszka’s Caldecott Honor book “The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales” cracks up young readers by parodying childhood favorites like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Ugly Duckling.” Steven Weinberg’s picture book, “Rex Finds an Egg! Egg! Egg!,” follows a rambunctious dinosaur across a prehistoric landscape. Children’s book superstar Scieszka is the author of zany bestsellers like “The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs,” the “Time
Warp Trio” and the Frank Einstein series, and the founder of Guys Read, a web-based literacy program for boys. Writer and illustrator Weinberg

Michelle Damiani’s “Il Bel Centro: A Year in the Beautiful Center” is a lyrical account of her American family’s move to a medieval hill-town in central Italy.

University of Richmond professor Bert Ashe is not afraid of a little life-altering research in service of literature. Ashe grew his hair out for his much talked about book, “Twisted: My Dreadlock Chronicles,” an amusing exploration of the historical and cultural meanings of a striking hairstyle. Now total strangers stop him for conversation on the street. “For the last twenty-five years I’ve intently observed the impact black hair has had on African-American culture and the world,” Ashe says. “I finally dove headlong into black hair culture myself when I decided to pay intimately close attention to the process of growing dreadlocks, as well as to the reaction of family, friends, colleagues and strangers to my wearing of the hair style.” Ashe will be joined by three other hair-struck authors, Elizabeth Benedict and Marita Golden (“Me, My Hair, and I”), and

The two men will talk about their books and their writing process, March 20, at 1:00 p.m. at UVa’s Culbreth Theatre. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youth under 18. The ruin of stand-up comedian and sitcom star Bill Cosby’s reputation has shocked and saddened his former fans – and who didn’t love the guy who gave the world Fat Albert, Dr. Cliff Huxtable, and Kids Say the Darndest Things? Terésa Dowell-Vest’s novel “The Death of Cliff Huxtable, 1937-2015 . . . So We Can Survive Bill Cosby” imagines how his fictional Huxtable family would cope with the death of the former role model. Dowell-Vest will be at City Space on March 16 at 4:00 p.m. Charlottesville hoops fan Eric Angevine has written about the college game for ESPN, CBS and NBC, and is the author of “Hinkle Fieldhouse: Indiana’s Basketball Cathedral,” a history of the iconic arena at the Butler University where the climactic scene of Hoosiers was filmed.

In Meg Medina’s “Burn Baby Burn,” a 17-year old girl comes of age in the infamous New York summer of 1977. In Wendy Shang’s “The Way Home Looks Now,” a 12-year-old boy and his family find healing after a tragedy through their love of baseball. The program is free but tickets are required.

soulful sounds of Al Green and Otis Redding – a history centered on Beale Street, effectively Main Street for the city’s African-American community during segregation. That history led him back to the late 19th century and to a wider story of public vice and civic virtue centered on former slave owner Robert Church, who built a business
empire and became a political powerhouse, funding crusading journalist Ida B. Wells, founding the city’s first African-American bank, and creating a park for that community more beautiful than the ones it was excluded from. Lauterbach’s “Beale Street Dynasty: Sex, Song, And The Struggle For The Soul Of Memphis” chronicles Church’s
rise, and the subsequent career of his son Bob, Jr. Working in the same small office building on Beale Street, Lauterbach says, “Handy was composing legendary songs like “Mr. Crump,” “St. Louis Blues” and “Beale Street Blues,” while [the younger] Church was a couple doors down revolutionizing black politics.” Lauterbach will discuss his book at Champion Brewing Company in Charlottesville on Friday, March 18 at 9:00 p.m. Local record collector Chris King will spin old 78 records of great 20s and 30s artists like Furry Lewis and Memphis Minnie. Grits and Gravy will play soul, funk, and R&B. Two Festival programs will celebrate the 100th awarding of the annual Pulitzer Prizes with six past winners. “We’re really excited to get them on the stage in conversation with one another and find out more of how they do their work,” says Festival program associate Sarah Lawson, “but also how the Pulitzer has helped or in some cases even hindered – how it’s changed how they’ve been able to write about the world.” Rita Dove, Gregory Pardlo, and Vijay Seshadri will read their work at UVa’s

Three poets of such intellect and imagination is like a astrological convergence.” “Rita Dove also happens to be on the precipice of revising her Collected Poems for publication this spring, a crowning achievement for a body of work that has charmed and challenged the American consciousness, at least half of which was written in her time in Charlottesville.

her read in the past may want to check back in.” On the prose side, Ayad Akhtar (“Disgraced”), Rick Atkinson (“An Army at Dawn”), and Lawrence Wright (“The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11”) will talk about their prizewinning work and their current writing projects, March 16 at 8:00 p.m. at the V. Earl Dickinson Building at Piedmont Virginia Community College. Desmond Tutu calls Bryan Stevenson “America’s young Nelson Mandela, a brilliant lawyer fighting with courage and conviction to guarantee justice for all.” The New York Times says his 2014 book “Just Mercy,” which focuses on his work representing indigent and wrongly accused defendants, “will make you upset” and “will make you hopeful.” John Grisham will interview this acclaimed social justice advocate March 19 at 8:00 p.m. at the Paramount. Tickets are $17.50. Reverend Nadia Bolz-Weber is a former stand-up comic, and founder of Denver’s House for All Sinners and Saints, just your average “liturgical, Christo-centric, social justice-oriented, queer-inclusive, incarnational, contemplative, irreverent, ancient/future church with a progressive but deeply rooted theological imagination.” Bolz-Weber will be at UVa’s Newcomb Hall, Saturday March 19 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss “Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People,” her 2015 bestseller that National Public Radio calls “unflinchingly honest (and funny).” Now in its 22nd year, the Virginia Festival of the Book is a true community undertaking, and just one sign of how much the locals value good writing and good writers. “We really rely on our generous volunteers and their time to help to make everything happen,” Lawson says. “We operate with a ton of support.” “One of the reasons we moved to Charlottesville, a little over two years ago, is because I heard that this was such a writer-friendly community,” Boston says. “It has certainly lived up to that billing. As a result of immersing myself in the writer’s lifestyle that this community fosters, I’ve been inspired to write many other stories that I envision becoming books in the near future.” And we all look forward to that. n

“B
arrier-free homes have a real marketing edge,” declares Linda Broadbent, a REALTOR® with Better Homes and Garden/Real Estate III. The public, she says, is increasingly seeking accessibility options, whether buying a new home or remodeling an existing dwelling. Accessibility, she notes, includes features such as zero-step entries, roll-in showers, and wider doorways. Multi-story residences need an elevator or chair lift. While anyone can live in a barrier-free dwelling, many people can live only in such a place and for them the market is regrettably limited, Broadbent continues. She recalls great difficulty in finding a suitable house for a client with disabilities and laments that multiple sales listings often neglect to mention whether an offered property is accessible. This is significant because barrier-free features are essential for the almost 50 million Americans with mobility challenges including wounded war veterans, accident victims, and persons with chronic medical challenges. In addition, persons with temporary disabilities such a recovery from surgery or an accident landing a person in a large cast or a wheelchair would also benefit from a barrier-free dwelling. Such features could also benefit visitors or house guests with mobility issues. Taking a longer view, lack of barriers in a home may enable people to “age in place” which is a particular desirable feature these days as the first Baby Boomers turn 70. Removing shower sills, widening doorways, and installing accessible handles on doors and faucets allow owners to remain in their homes longer. It also increases the value of the home since more and more the public is seeing the advantages of a barrier-free, accessible home. In fact, our commonwealth believes accessibility is so important it has established a tax credit of up to $5000 in many cases of retrofitting and new home construction. For more information, search the Internet for “Virginia livable homes tax credit” and “EasyLiving Homes.”
Including Accessibility Features In New Construction Or Remodeling Incorporating accessibility features is a no-brainer in new home construction because it’s easier when planned for from the start. A voluntary certification program guides contractors
BARRIER-FREE HOMES as they build what is known as an EasyLiving Home. Such dwellings can be single-family homes, duplexes, or triplexes and include specific designing and building requirements to earn this certification.
EasyLiving Includes Three Key Features: • Easy Access with a step-free entrance from a driveway, sidewalk, or garage and a firm route into the central living area. There should be no steps within the home such as a stepdown living room. • Easy Passage because the exterior door and every interior passage door on the main level (including bathrooms) provides 32 inches of clear passage space. • Easy Use because the main floor includes a kitchen, an entertainment area, a bedroom, and at least one full bathroom with sufficient maneuvering space for a person to provide physical assistance to another individual or for a person to maneuver a wheelchair or walker. In fact, bathrooms are a main focus, first because they are essential and second because many accidents happen in bathrooms. Features to provide bathroom stability and safety include nostep roll-in showers, non-slip flooring, good lighting, and sturdy grab bars in showers and by commodes.
Are A Wise Choice BY MARILYN PRIBUS
Today’s grab bars come in designs that are attractive as well as functional. Materials include teak wood which is waterproof, various metallic finishes from gleaming to matte, and even glow-in-the-dark acrylic. One interesting application has built-in LED lighting which creates an all-in-one night light/grab handle. A sturdy built-in seat of tile or teak is another nice feature. (While moveable seats may be used, they have a “hospital” look to them, while a permanent seat look more like a spa.) In addition, technology has made some intriguing advances in user-friendly fixtures. Some faucets will go on and off with the wave of a hand. A handheld shower option is a worthwhile investment and there are single-handle mixers offering easier control over flow and temperature. For technophiles, there are even touchscreen-operated showers.
Kitchens should have slip-resistant flooring, adequate open space, and good lighting. Safety and accessibility features might include front controls on the cooktop so the user doesn’t have to reach over hot burners, a bottom freezer on the refrigerator, pullout shelves to provide lower counter space to work on, and fully extendable drawers for good access. Both bathroom and kitchen counters can be designed with plumbing rerouted to leave open-space knee room for a person using a wheelchair. The space can be used for storage unless or until it is needed. Finally, REALTOR® Broadbent points out that the EasyLiving accessibility features can be incorporated in a new-build home and easily employed when remodeling. It makes little difference in the cost of a remodel, but can be a valuable factor increasing the marketability of a property. Whether people are considering new construction or remodeling, it always makes good financial sense to incorporate barrier-free accessibility features. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. When they moved from California eight years ago, they were looking ahead and chose a house with several barrier-free features.
