THIS WEEK The image that keeps coming to mind when I think (worry, let’s be honest) about Saturday’s Unite the Right rally is the NOH8 campaign, in which supporters wear a piece of duct tape over their mouths with NOH8 written on it. The campaign promotes LGBT marriage, gender and human equality through a visual protest. Its slogan is its weapon; its supporters use their words. We’ve heard that some members of the alt-right plan to target the media this weekend. To be clear, we in the media are doing our job: covering news— events that matter in our timeline of history whether they be positive or negative. It’s our job to report on what happened, what we saw and what that means for our future. This week’s feature (p. 18) is also an example of us doing our job. As fear is heightened around the second extremist group gathering in our city in the last couple of months, we tell you what to expect from the members of the alt-right who are speaking: what their agenda is, what they’ve said in the past and how they rose to prominence in that sector. My plea to everyone at the rally—alt-right supporters, protesters, members of the media, clergy and the police—is the same: Let the rally happen. Let the alt-righters have their say and go home while you make your presence known —peacefully. These people don’t live in our city; they don’t eat in our restaurants; they don’t pay taxes to build new schools and roads. We do. And we have the final say in the image of our city that we want to present to the world: no hate.—Jessica Luck

Something Blue Ridge Community members painted a Blue Ridge Mountains mural on Starr Hill’s wall Sunday, August 6, as part of the Crozet brewery’s Virginia Craft Beer Month celebration. Volunteer artists received a T-shirt, sampled Starr Hill’s new Crozet Gold golden ale and enjoyed music by Kurt Crandall and eats from 106 Street Food. One dollar from every pint sold Sunday went to The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative.

HERE COME THE BRIDES
MAILBAG Stay home this Saturday To my former colleagues at Occupy Charlottesville; to the anarchist, libertarian, socialist and other comrades; to the liberal moderates of Charlottesville: I have had the pleasure to work with you for justice for more than six years now, both at Occupy, with Veterans for Peace Chapter 171, with Charlottesville Center for Peace & Justice and in various congregations in the area. Even if we disagree on tactics and strategy, we are still one tribe united for good, and I care deeply for you all. Therefore, I beg you to stay away from the right-wing circus planned for August 12. I know you feel very strongly about this as I do, and you are willing to put yourselves in harm’s way for the Truth as I also have. I know, as you do, that the “alt-right” is a sham, a violent epistemically challenged group of men whose hatred has devoured their consciences. But you must see that fighting them will not restore to them their consciences, nor will it sway others to our side. There can be no victory in the streets against these blind ones; no amount of chanting or public displays of rage will quell their hate or convince them of the wrongness of their cause. There is no legitimate way of participating in August 12, which is only one day, after all. If you survive it, there will be other days and other victories for those willing to do the hard work. Please, as one committed friend and comrade to the brothers and sisters: Stay home August 12—then start the hard work of justice August 13, and don’t quit till we win. Evan Knappenberger Veterans for Peace, Charlottesville Center for Peace & Justice, etc.

My name is Philip Khnopp. I am a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and have been a Virginia resident since 1962. I am also a land owner and reside at my family’s farm in Churchville, Virginia. For the past four years, I have been actively involved in the anti-pipeline, pro-environment movement in Augusta County. The current efforts of the Mountain Valley Pipeline and the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to impose dangerous pipelines against the will and well-being of citizens and their landscapes is deeply troubling. Another related matter here is the proposed 70-acre Dominion compressor station, which is slated to be constructed in Buckingham County. Dominion Power Corporation has deliberately chosen this spot because, among other things, it is in an economically deprived area whose citizens do not have a strong political voice. The quality of their air, water and soil are at risk because of this proposed structure. It angers me when I see a corporate bully such as Dominion, aided by the underhanded and illegal tactics of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, infringe on the land and homes (and the rights) of the county residents in Buckingham, many of whom are African-American. Companies
such as Dominion have a history of threatening life quality for the most vulnerable. It is disturbing to know that this compressor station is experimental (the largest and first of its kind), and will very likely be prone to mishaps. The four large turbines will generate 57,000hp and threaten to emit elevated levels of radiation. If one or more of these experimental turbines were to fail and rupture, it could spew vast amounts of radioactive petroleum products into the local atmosphere, polluting the soil and water. Moreover, the wind could carry it for long distances, possibly hundreds of miles. There have been no comprehensive public safety studies (state, federal or local) detailing how residents or first responder personnel would be able to mitigate a compressorpipeline breach. This compressor station would be a sore on this landscape, where it would disturb resident tranquility with loud noise and bright light, and be vulnerable to sabotage not to mention inherent dangers, as mentioned above. Keep in mind that FERC has never held anyone accountable or imposed penalties for any pipeline construction disasters, and it seems unconcerned by the threats they pose. FERC recently released a Draft Environmental lmpact Study, which states that this project would not pose any significant negative effects upon the environment, which it always does with no regard for potential dangers and the rights of citizens. To end, I urge concerned citizens to attend any of the five Department of Environmental Quality hearings, which will be held around the state through August 14. Please let your voice be heard!

Organizer Jason Kessler says the Warlocks were only present to provide security for his July 12 press conference. And in the July 26-August 1 story “Fired up: Wintergreen chief trashes Lockn’, UVA medical,” Bob Seger’s name was misspelled.

There is a credible risk of violence at this event, and your safety is my foremost concern. Moreover, to approach the rally and confront the activists would only satisfy their craving for spectacle. —UVA President Teresa Sullivan on the August 12 Unite the Right rally.
IN BRIEF It gets worse
CHS teacher Rick Wellbeloved-Stone, who was charged with one count of child porn possession July 27, was charged with 19 counts of child porn production and one count of aggravated sexual battery August 4. He was placed on leave and remains in Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Classroom ratios and failure to supervise children are noted issues at Kiddie Academy, an Albemarle daycare that has racked up more than 40 violations since January 2016. It was placed on a provisional license last month and the state Department of Social Services says it has until January to prove it can comply with regulations, or it could lose its license, according to the Newsplex.

Cassell, a grad of Staunton’s Robert E. Lee High, is the 10th fatality in Albemarle this year. Police say no charges are pending.

Algae yucks up lake
Was the four-legged visitor weeks early for its move-in date? Community members took to social media to share photos of a black bear flouncing around UVA Grounds August 1. A state wildlife biologist tranquilized it outside the Children’s Hospital, loaded it into a truck, and, after the drug wore off overnight, dropped it off on national forest property west of Harrisonburg.

The July 8 Loyal White Knights of the KKK demonstration racked up a hefty bill for the city, with neighboring Albemarle police chipping in 52 officers at a cost of $14,045. Here’s a breakdown of some of the city’s $32,835 in expenses, which don’t include the Albemarle County Sheriff’s Office bill for $2,467. The Virginia State Police won’t provide its manpower costs unless we cough up $300, and it won’t release the number of officers it sent due to tactical and safety reasons. Its spokeswoman does say that many state police were scheduled in advance of the Klan fest as part of their 40-hour week to minimize overtime. She says the helicopter that buzzed over Justice Park costs $615 an hour to operate and ran for 3.6 hours for a total of $2,214. So far, it all adds up to more than $51,565.

Rally relocation City okays permit for McIntire Park, Kessler refuses to change By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com
SKYCLADAP.COM

It remains unclear whether organizers and attendees of the Unite the Right rally will still assemble in Emancipation Park, regardless of the city’s permit approval for McIntire Park.

• Don’t bring your usual phone because it might be stolen by antifa, or law enforcement might find incriminating data on it. • Bring burner phones for “you and your boys.” • Use perfect forward secrecy cryptography for person-to-person communications that can be set to erase, handy if you get subpoenaed. • [D]on’t make racially charged statements on your event accounts. Save the small talk and hate speech for the bar. • Disable fingerprint unlock because your finger could be held against your phone against your will or fake fingerprints could be made from booking ink. • Avoid looking paramilitary and go for a clean-cut, polo-shirt Chad look. • Don’t pack heat because serious charges could ensue. • Don’t walk alone, especially as the event ends. • Don’t talk to police. • Have an exit strategy if everything goes to hell.
facebook.com/cville.weekly
City Manager Maurice Jones explains the change of location for the alt-right assembly at an August 7 press conference.
She says she’s concerned about the layout of McIntire and its limited egress and ingress, as well as its lack of shade. Backlash to the event and white-rights extremists coming to town has led to a rash of Airbnb reservation cancellations. The company says those using its services will accept people regardless of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age. “We’re having our civil rights violated left and right,” said Kessler on a video posted on his Twitter account. Brazos Tacos announced it would close August 12, as have the Central Library, McGuffey Art Center and the Virginia Discovery Museum. Additional downtown business owners were contemplating doing the same at press time. And the UVA Medical Center says it’s preparing for a mass casualty situation. “As we routinely do when large events occur in the Charlottesville area, we are preparing for the possibility of incidents that could lead to an influx of patients, using components of our established emergency operations plan,” says UVA health system spokesman Josh Barney. That includes scheduling elective surgeries before or after August 12, having additional care providers at the hospital and on call, and having additional security officers on hand. “These preparations aim to ensure that we can provide the best possible care to all our patients,” says Barney.
While Charlottesvillians are fretting about the upcoming Unite the Right rally, those coming are also taking precautions in anticipation of the “huge number of antifa that want to cause trouble, and the general cuckery of the local government,” Weev, the pseudonym for Andrew Auernheimer, writes on neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer.

[Charlottesville Police Department] will continue to assess and plan for these possibilities as necessary.” Several attendees at the press conference expressed relief that the city decided to move the event, which lists white nationalists and neo-Nazis as speakers. Jalane Schmidt with Black Lives Matter says it’s “very fitting” to move the rally to McIntire because Paul Goodloe McIntire, who donated that park, Emancipation and Justice parks to the city, “is a Lost Cause benefactor.” Cville Solidarity’s Emily Gorcenski, who says she’s gotten death threats, has mixed feelings about the change. “I would obviously like to see the event not happen, given that the people coming want to incite violence.”
Rally tips for alt-righters (from the alt-right) Augsut 9 – 15, 2017 c-ville.com
ays before the August 12 Unite the Right rally, City Manager Maurice Jones said the city would issue organizer Jason Kessler a permit—for McIntire Park, not for Emancipation Park, the site formerly known as Lee Park where he requested to protest the removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee. And in response, Kessler says, “We didn’t request nor will we accept a permit anywhere other than Lee Park. That is where the Unite the Right demonstration is taking place.” Where that leaves the city is unclear at press time, particularly as it recently has not required permits for free speech assemblies, such as Mayor Mike Signer’s declaration that Charlottesville was the capital of the resistance in January. Clay Hansen, executive director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, says free speech cases are fact specific and drawing parallels with a different location and event may not be helpful. He points to the city regulation that requires permits for demonstrations, unless they involve 50 or fewer people and would not occur in a public right of way. If the city believes any gathering of Unite the Right would require street closings, “it’s likely the city could invoke this section” and limit the demonstration to 50 people at a time, says Hansen. “Logistically that would be a nightmare.” Jones said at an August 7 press conference that the city had given “considerable thought” to Kessler’s permit application, and “decided to approve it on the date and at the time requested, provided he uses McIntire Park rather than Emancipation Park.” The city manager affirmed Kessler’s First Amendment right to protest and the “city’s obligation to protect those rights” and to protect public safety. “We have determined we cannot do all these things effectively” at Emancipation Park. Jones was joined by Police Chief Al Thomas and Mayor Mike Signer, and city councilors Kathy Galvin, Kristin Szakos and Bob Fenwick. Thomas said McIntire Park was safer because it was large enough to accommodate the anticipated crowd. On his permit application, Kessler estimated 400 attendees, but on social media, between calls for national support from the alt-right, on the left, from Black Lives Matter and from the local the clergy, estimates have swollen to thousands. And if Kessler refuses to budge, and people show up at Emancipation Park, city spokesperson Miriam Dickler says, “The city will take actions deemed necessary to keep the community safe while honoring everyone’s freedom of speech and assembly.

espite the history of a failed wind farm in Highland County, a local renewable energy firm is on track to build the first one in Virginia. Apex Clean Energy, which has 167 employees in Charlottesville, received a permit from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in March to build Rocky Forge Wind, an array of up to 25 modern, slow-spinning, 550-foot-tall wind turbines on about 10,000 acres of private land in Botetourt County. The 75-megawatt farm will produce enough energy to power up to 20,000 homes annually. “We are working really hard to do Virginia’s first wind project right,” says Kevin Chandler, a senior manager of federal affairs at Apex. “We’re pursuing Rocky Forge because it’s one of the better sites for wind in the Southeast.” While he says harnessing power from the wind hasn’t always made sense in Virginia, it does at Rocky Forge. The future farm’s site in rural Botetourt County has some of the highest nearby wind speeds and elevations,
with the closest home being about a mile away. Its proximity to state highways also makes it convenient for transporting turbine components, and it’s already located near existing high-voltage power lines. “It’s a way for us to preserve our part [of the county],” says Jack Leffel, the chair of the Botetourt County Board of Supervisors. “Folks in my part of the world want to keep open land. This is a way to have a tax base and do that.” Although the project was approved, Leffel says they received major backlash from out-of-towners. Of the concerns presented to him, he says, “None of them are valid.” Noise pollution has been a longstanding worry about building giant fields full of windmills that are double the height of the Statue of Liberty. “That’s a blatant lie,” Leffel says. “I’ve been to several wind farms and there is no noise. Fifty yards away, it’s a whisper.” Project developer Charlie Johnson agrees, and also stresses these types of farms have a limited impact on birds: Wind turbines contribute to less than 0.0003 percent of human-caused avian fatalities, according to a National Academy of Sciences study. Johnson says there’s a growing demand for cleaner electricity and customers now

Though McBride spent years bobbing and weaving through a complex regulatory process, the State Corporation Commission eventually approved his project, and construction began in August 2009. The project was never completed and McBride declined to comment on what happened. Rocky Forge Wind’s anticipated date of commercial operation is 2018.

Goals collide By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com
L
udwig Kuttner, owner of the IX complex, threatened last week to stop the community events held at the Art Park because its city land assessment went up 400 percent. And on August 7, the Board of Equalization said it was affirming the city’s valuation. At an August 1 board hearing, Kuttner complained that the land value assessment on the 6.78-acre portion of IX, the scene of more than 100 cultural and civic events last year, skyrocketed from $1.13 million in 2016 to $4.54 million in 2017. “That’s a huge amount for nonprofits,” says Kuttner. Taxing the property at its best and highest use—the mantra for commercial assessments—puts the Art Park, where events like the satellite Women’s March or various fundraisers are held, at the same rate as what a Marriott hotel would be assessed, he adds. Located at the site of the former Frank Ix and Sons textile plant, the IX Art Park is part of 17 acres between Monticello and Elliott avenues that are in the city’s Strategic Investment Area, which stresses affordable housing.
Tenants include a sculptor and Tinkersmiths Makerspace, which offers workshops and space for fabrication. Kuttner says he has five tenants who get space at a low rate, and that he loses between $100,000 and $150,000 on those rents. The upper level of the building that houses those tenants and the indoor stage will become the new home of Three Notch’d Brewing. When finished, the brewery will push the parcel’s assessment up even more, Kuttner’s attorney, Susan Krischel, says. Land assessments also went up on the 10.75-acre portion of the property where Brazos Tacos and the Newsplex are located. Krischel says IX is challenging those as well, but she especially objects to the assessment on the parcel used for civic space. “The costs have to be passed onto tenants,” she says. Downtown Business Association of Charlottesville President Joan Fenton believes assessments should be based on use and rents, not what the highest use for a property could be. “[Kuttner’s] turned that into a public good,” says Fenton. “They’ve taken an empty lot and turned it into something special downtown.”
RYAN JONES
Fair market value threatens IX Art Park
The Women’s Rally drew hundreds to the IX Art Park in January.
With the skyrocketing 2017 commercial assessments, she says it seems the city is saying, “Screw all your tenants, screw all the good you’re trying to do and get more money.” Fenton owns a property that she leases to a nonprofit roots music school. “I could get more rent but I think it’s important to have [The] Front Porch on the mall,” she says. Nonprofit usage, however, is not the mission of the city assessors or the Board of Equalization. “We’re charged to look at the fair market value,” says board member Paul Muhlberger. The IX property is unique, he says, and “it’s hard to compare apples to apples,” but it’s still a “really valuable piece of property.” He also notes that Kuttner has no deeded restrictions on the property limiting use to nonprofits, and a buyer could come in at any time and turn it into a high-end commercial use. Muhlberger has attended events at the IX Art Park and says he’s sympathetic, “but this is not the Board of Equalization’s charge. It’s fair market value.” Kuttner says vision “has to be supported and nurtured. I’m sad that bureaucracy won out and that the city couldn’t find a way to support what thousands of people in the community want and love.”

RESTAURANTS & STORES,
W E SA LU T E YO U. The mayor called C’ville the Capital of the Resistance without your mandate, the city set out to remove the statues without knowing state law, your losses in July & August won’t be reimbursed. You’ve been left with no advice from police or the city 10 days before the August weekend. You’ve been completely abandoned, along with the citizens of this town. Yet, you rallied together! You’ve benefited from legal advice the city seemed to lack, you’ve had 2 incredible leaders, & you’ve all been part of an amazingly creative solution-oriented week of brainstorming. May this summer of fiascoes cause you to find a unified voice- establishing a merchant organization that represents all business district merchants. The irony is - you can’t all close to show the city how important you are to the city’s identity. To each and every one of you who works too hard each day for too little money, providing the jobs for so many, yet with too little city support – you make C’ville’s “brand”. From West Main businesses where the new traffic patterns related to beautification will cause impossible backups, to McIntire Plaza businesses whose lifeline was strangled during the first years of route 250 work, you have to wonder, why you all stay. But we’re enormously grateful. ~Rock on
Is it time to demand: • a mandatory city council seat for a business owner • a dedicated mall fund from revenue of mall restaurant spaces • a program to address homeless on the mall • parking solutions that take into account your staff needs & visitor needs • EDC program to help restaurant staff sleeping in cars & lacking drivers’ licenses • a reverse 911 program • a seat at the table while the building boom tsunami begins • reduction of your exorbitant property taxes • an official program to make the downtown a place people want to come, thru all the mayhem ahead • review of city decisions that led to the events of this summer & the void in city communication • the respect, consideration and support you deserve.

Supervisors say... Break on business licenses, Hedgerow not for horses By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com
M
iss out on a week of Albemarle County happenings? On August 2 the Board of Supervisors voted to only require a business license for those making at least $25,000 a year, instead of the previous $5,000 threshold. They’ve requested a new entrance for the proposed Hedgerow Park, and will soon ask for public input on moving the county’s courts and offices into its own jurisdiction.

Supervisors are asking county staff to find a new entrance to Hedgerow Park because the proposed one isn’t fit for trucks with trailers and is located in a floodplain.
FARMERS IN THE PARK
@cvillenews_desk
The original proposed entryway to Hedgerow Park, the 340-acre property just south and west of the Interstate 64 and U.S. 29 interchange, sits to the south of the property on a private nine-foot road that leads to a private residence. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends a road at least 24 feet wide for trucks pulling equestrian trailers, according to Blake Abplanalp, county chief of project management. Supervisor Ann Mallek advocated against moving the entrance to accommodate trailers, which could cost an additional $1 million. Herself an equestrian enthusiast, she says “not every park needs to be for every use,” and that Preddy Creek Trail Park and Patricia Ann Byrom Forest Preserve Park are great for riding horses. “Anything you offer at this point, we’re going to be relieved,” said BOS Chair Diantha McKeel to county staff, which will continue researching other entrance options for the park. Hedgerow is scheduled for completion in May 2019.

Jim Foley, Albemarle County’s director of transportation by day, has been an ice hockey official in his spare time for the past 15 years. He was surprised to receive a $100 bill from the county last year for business taxes dating back three years. “I would’ve paid it every one of those previous years if I had gotten a bill,” he said at the August 2 supes meeting when the BOS raised the minimum gross receipts threshold from $5,000 to $25,000. Foley, who makes about $10,000 on the side every year, will no longer need a business license. But Foley’s friend, Dave Canoles, an aviation consultant who has done expert witness work for plane crashes for a decade, was taxed six years back by the county. “Requiring residents to pay retroactively for the past six years was a slap in the face to all of us who try to abide by the rules,” Canoles said at the meeting. He was charged about $1,000 in back fees, $350 of which was penalties and interest. And in 2012, he says he was charged more than $350 for a $50 license because the county determined that he grossed more than $100,000 that year, though the
Internal Revenue Service and state showed his adjusted income was $80,000. “The department of finance seems to make up its own rules as they go along,” he said. The county code says the director of finance can go back six years to collect business, professional and occupational licensing taxes if she determines a person has fraudulently failed or refused to obtain a proper license for any one or more of the past six license years. Canoles says he didn’t obtain a business license because he doesn’t conduct any of his work in Albemarle County and didn’t know he needed one. “This whole experience caused me and others I know to lose respect for our county.”

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
irst the Loyal White Knights of the KKK July 8 and now the Unite the Right rally August 12. Charlottesville has become quite the magnet for white nationalists since City Council voted in April to remove a statue of General Robert E. Lee and rename two Confederate generalmonikered parks. Oh, and the mayor declared the city the capital of the resistance. But how does the alt-right differ from the KKK? We went to the Daily Stormer, the neo-Nazi website where Andrew Anglin published a handy guide to the alt-right and the new white nationalists. The core concept is that “whites are undergoing an extermination, via mass immigration into white countries which was enabled by a corrosive liberal ideology of white self-hatred, and that the Jews are at the center of this agenda,” writes Anglin. So, like the Klan, the alt-white nationalists are still racist, dreaming of deporting all people of color, still anti-Semitic and By Lisa Provence and anti-nonwhite immigrant, still Samantha Baars homophobic and still loathe feminists and liberals. But this new breed is young and spends a lot of time hanging out online. Trolling is a popular activity, as are making memes and doing things for the lulz, because there’s “a spirit of fun,” according to Anglin. “The mob is the movement,” he writes. This hive mentality is buzzing in dark corners of the internet like Reddit and 4chan, where “the rehabilitation of Adolf Hitler and the [National Socialist German Workers’ Party] largely took place,” according to Anglin. Here’s who’s on the bill to speak at homegrown whites-righter Jason Kessler’s August 12 march on Charlottesville (which the city announced Monday it’s moving to McIntire Park), where he gives himself third billing in the all-star, alt-right lineup.

Quoted: From a letter he wrote in 2013 cited on multiple alt-right websites: “I have prophesied for years that I was born for a Great War; that if I did not witness the coming of the Second American Civil War I would begin it myself. Mark well: That day is fast coming upon you. On the New Moon of May, I shall disappear into the Wilderness. I will return bearing Revolution, or I will not return at all.”
Christopher Cantwell Claim to fame: Host of Radical Agenda, a right-wing radio show with episodes carrying titles such as “Defending Whiteness,” “School Sucks,” “Hating Cops Is Immature” and “Shut Up, Cancer Boy,” the latter a reference to Senator John McCain
Fans say: He refuses to go anywhere he can’t carry a gun.

Kyle Chapman Aka Based Stickman, the Alt-Knight Claim to fame: Busting heads at the Berkeley riot in March Rap sheet: Suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed dirk or dagger, assault with a taser, assault with pepper spray March 4; 1993 felony robbery conviction in Texas; 2001 grand theft conviction for ripping off Macy’s in San Diego; 2009 conviction for felon in possession of a firearm.
Motto: “Blood and soil” Easily confused with: American Vanguard and the National Vanguard, the latter of which was once based in Charlottesville before child porn possession charges shut down its founder. According to Heimbach, Vanguard America will be joining its white buds at the rally. Membership requirements: Must be at least 80 percent white or of European heritage, and if you’re gay, transsexual or an adulterer, forget about getting an invitation to join.
Identity Evropa “American-based identitarian organization dedicated to promoting the interests of people of European heritage,” according to its Facebook page Motto: “Only we can be us” Symbol: The dragon eye, apparently a hot commodity, because stickers depicting it are sold out on the group’s website.
Irony: Taught history for 18 years at historically black Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama Bigger than the “black problem in the South,” according to Hill: The “Jewry” problem Protégé: Matt Heimbach, whom he expelled from LOS for performing a Nazi salute at neo-Nazi and KKK events but welcomed back into the fold less than a year later, according to Southern Poverty Law Center. Then Heimbach left to start the Traditionalist Worker Party. Signature meme: The triple-parenthesis echo to denote (((they))) are Jews.

Who won’t be coming You won’t find Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys who claims to be inclusive to all—“as long as you accept the Western world as the best”—kicking around Charlottesville on August 12, and neither will you find other members of the alt-lite, a group that distances itself from its hardcore counterpart. Members of the Warlocks Motorcycle Club, the historically violent biker gang that stood behind Jason Kessler in leather vests and doo rags at his most recent press conference, won’t be showing their faces, either, after backlash from the club’s leader. And South Carolina members of the Patriot movement, who originally scheduled a companion rally in Darden Towe Park for the same day, pulled their support and canceled the event once organizer Chevy Love realized the alt-right supports racism.

Five albums in, the Brotherhood stops by on a national tour—the third local gig in a year—while peddling its latest release, Barefoot in the Head. $20-22, 8:30pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E.

More Fast Songs About The Apocalypse (Mute)
Shapeshifter (DKA)
There may be a buncha riots going on, but on Moby’s More Fast Songs the apocalypse is personal, and it feels less like Armageddon than a sleepless night spent sifting and cycling through dire thoughts that are universal, but banal for that. The bouncy ’80s synthpop of “In This Cold Place” should constitute the album’s fun peak, but chirpeth Moby: “I got no life / I got no hope / I got no will / I got nowhere to go.” Sheesh. The rest of Moby’s title is honest: More Fast Songs is full of peppy, sweeping guitar-and-synth grooves; it sounds like a post-punk aerobics record.
For the last few years Travis Thatcher has been a mainstay in Charlottesville’s music scene, producing the Telemetry and Frequencies electronic music series and playing in bands such as Space Saver, Petal and Personal Bandana. Voice of Saturn is Thatcher’s solo project, and Shapeshifter is a righteous hour of varied electronics. There are gestures to house and techno on “Rechnenderraum” and “Contunnel,” and frisky humor on the jabbering “Trim.” But ’70s space music is the prevailing vibe, with layers blooming and pulsing, piling up and falling away—Shapeshifter is an engaging exploration.

Raymond Scott Three Willow Park: Electronic Music from Inner Space, 1961-1971 (Basta)
Reflections-Mojave Desert (Luaka Bop)
Iteration (Ghostly) Com Truise (né Seth Haley) has released a passel of EPs and full-lengths since 2010, but he claims Iteration “illustrates the last moments Com Truise spends on the perilous planet Wave 1 before he and his alien love escape its clutches to live in peace.” Got it. Too bad Iteration—dominated by tepid tempos, ’80s synths and up-mixed drum machines— sounds more like a cheesy cop movie, the daytime scenes when the partners drive around town and nothing is happening. Tunes bearing affected titles like “Isostasy” and “Syrthio” just spin in place. Or space, I guess.—Nick Rubin

English neuroscientist Sam Shepherd has released a clutch of recordings as Floating Points, covering a range of electronic styles from dubstep to ambient. Recorded with a full band, live and en plein air in the titular locale, Mojave Desert ditches the dance for appropriately widescreen soundscapes rife with early-’70s synth timbres. There are introspective moments (less lyrical than those on 2015’s Elaenia), but the conspicuous influence here is Pink Floyd, especially on “Silurian Blue,” where Leo Taylor apes Nick Mason’s drumming from “Echoes” on Live at Pompeii (the album’s accompanying video renders the homage baldly obvious).

@artscville
Maverick composer Raymond Scott isn’t just groundbreaking; his music is in our DNA, whether through samples by Gorillaz and J Dilla or through its adaptation for Warner Bros. cartoons (as well as “The Simpsons”). Three Willow Park amasses dozens of sonic experiments—some are fascinating sketches, like “Domino Sugar Demo,” which recalls Scott’s signature tune, “Powerhouse.” Others work as finished pieces: the beguiling space samba “Portofino #3” and the trancey-yet-whimsical “Dorothea.” The extensive liner notes include essays and individual track notes. A delight.
Floating Points
Reissue stalwart Soul Jazz comes through again, compiling the outer limits of commercial electro-acoustic music in the golden age of synthesizers. Cult faves like Laurie Spiegel and Richard Pinhas are here, alongside obscure cassette-only artists. There’s the foundational new age of Iasos, the Hearts of Space ambience of Michael Stearns, the musique concrète of Tod Dockstader, a mesmerizing extended piece by pioneering synthesizer ensemble Mother Mallard’s Portable Masterpiece Company and a stunning, tremulous vocal by Beverly Glenn-Copeland. Drums are in short supply, but most everything swings and sways. A fantastic primer.

Write formula Erika Raskin turns worry into words with Best Intentions By Raennah Lorne
preparations for a murder trial, time traveling on the page from past to present until the two threads meet. Within the medical thriller, Marti casts a sharp lens on her Southern city and on her own privilege—as Raskin makes space to address racism and economic inequality, without slowing the pace. This narrative choice comes naturally because of the protagonist’s profession, but it also comes naturally to Raskin. There is a scene in which Marti is warned about getting too close to clients, which Raskin borrowed from her own social work training. “Good social workers know when to pull back or not cross the line,” Raskin says, “but I don’t see connecting with people as a bad thing at all. ...I think that we’re all in this together.” Amid all the drama, there are startlingly real moments of humor, particularly in scenes with Marti’s children. Raskin tends to blend tension and humor in her fiction, she says. “I think that’s sort of the way I go through life anyway. You gotta find the punchline.” And she has. Over the last 25 years, Raskin rewrote the novel many times after it was rejected for one reason or another. “Every few years I would take it back out and bring the characters into the new decade,” she says. This required updating names that went out of style, and minute details within the exposition, like the fact that printer paper had perforated edges when she first started writing the book. Now that the book is in the hands of readers, she hopes that, first, they enjoy it, but, second, that it gives them an awareness about their own communities. “If you’re alarmed by something, say something,” she says. “And I absolutely believe in universal, single-payer health care. And so does my husband.”

t began in a crowded Richmond parking lot. Local novelist Erika Raskin had an appointment to re-enroll in the master of social work program she had begun at VCU, and couldn’t find a parking space. As she drove in circles something shifted within her. She laughs and says, “I was like, ‘You know what? Screw it,’ and I started writing. I bought a thesaurus and that was it. I thought, ‘This is what I want to do.’” Even before this pivotal moment in her career, Raskin, the daughter of a novelist and a political philosopher, had always written. “It was just something that was basically in the water,” she says. Her first novel, Close—about a seemingly normal family that ends up on a TV therapy show—was published in 2014 and nominated for a Teen Choice Book of the Year award. She began writing her latest novel, Best Intentions, nearly 25 years ago when she lived in Richmond, where her husband Keith was a medical resident. As the wife of a doctor, she says, “There were certain things I had seen and I was just like, ‘This can’t be right.’ And, lo and behold, all these years later it’s the same.” In addition, she says, their daughter had a serious health condition. During the long hours Raskin sat with her in the hospital, she had ample time to observe her surroundings. “I say that I write what I know and I write what I worry about,” Raskin says. “So it was sort of seeing things and thinking, ‘This could be better.’” The protagonist of Best Intentions is Marti Trailor, a social worker and mother of three, who is married to an obstetrician. Raskin skillfully juxtaposes scenes of marital tension with the

T
he push for greater representation in cinema, both in front of and behind the camera, is sometimes derided as an academic one that places statistics ahead of quality, of checked boxes over realism. What these critics miss is that representation means greater diversity of perspectives. People of different races, nationalities, genders, religions and sexual orientations experience the same world in radically different ways, so why shouldn’t we take a more active role in bringing their artistic visions to the big screen? Hollywood is determined to make big-issue movies anyway—starring straight white people—and if you want to talk artistic merit, maintaining the status quo means films about race and racism look less like Fruitvale Station and more like The Help and The Blind Side. Kathryn Bigelow’s new film Detroit, with all of its standout qualities and obvious lofty intentions, has intensified this debate ahead of its release—and rightly so. Though largely lauded, several reviews have called into question its treatment of black suffering depicted by white artists. Bigelow, one of the most talented directors working today, and perhaps the most prominent woman filmmaker in the industry, turns in a film that
deadens its radical edge with an uncritical eye to police brutality by suggesting it is all the fault of a few bad apples. The story centers around a factual incident amid the civil unrest in 1967 Detroit, in which several black men and two white women were taken hostage and brutalized at the Algiers Motel by local police, ostensibly in search of a sniper but fueled by racism. Bigelow begins the film with historical context about the incident, first an animation depicting the history of racial migration—black populations to the industrialized North in search of jobs and stability, followed by white flight to the suburbs, taking the existing capital with them, while leaving the largely black cities under pressure and increasingly impoverished, leading to more aggressive policing. We then witness a police crackdown on a party at an establishment with no liquor license—illegal, yes, but the crackdown is swift and exceedingly brutal, not befitting the crime. This provides the spark for a full-scale rebellion, political in nature but depicted in the media as “blacks burning their own houses down.” Bigelow clearly recognizes the need for such a story, one that provides material and political context for racial strife with a message that is more than a hollow plea for tolerance. What’s puzzling—and ultimately damning—is the decision to make almost
the entire second act of the film one of brutalization by racists against black men and perceived race-traitors. It will be up to historians to determine whether this is an accurate representation of the events at the hotel, but dramatically and artistically it is empty, and as such its unflinching eye feels more like an exploitative gaze. Detroit had the potential to be a statement on racism and its place in our political and

justice system. Instead, it goes out of its way to make unnecessary “not all cops” and “not all white people” overtures. The ensemble cast is excellent, particularly newcomer Algee Smith as Larry Cleveland, who ought to generate award buzz. The setup and resolution are notable both for historical reasons and as one of the few wide-release films to take the politics of riots and rebellions seriously. But with its ultimately mawkish message tinged more with liberal guilt than sharp analysis, Bigelow’s Detroit is destined to join Crash as overrated prestige projects that illustrate exactly why we should prioritize having people of color helm these sorts of stories.

Shenandoah Joe buzz The Shenandoah Joe roastery and coffee shop on Preston Avenue is expanding, not
only in terms of space but what it has to offer. The shop will nearly double in size and have more seating indoors and out, as well as a community cupping room, where Shenandoah Joe coffee experts will teach C’ville java enthusiasts how to taste (really taste!) their coffee and make a damn fine cup o’ Joe at home, among other things. And good news for coffee-cravers: The coffeehouse will remain open throughout remodeling, which will incorporate the former CASPCA retail store next door. “We’ll try not to close the doors and stop C’ville from being caffeinated,” Shenandoah Joe owner Dave Fafara says. The coffee shop will top out at right under 6,000 square feet once the expansion is complete in late September, and there will be “a little more parking than before,” Fafara says. “It’s gonna be pretty cool,” he adds. “It’s kind of like a wedding: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”
Neighborhood lunch Serving a comforting plate of homemade casserole has a way of bringing people together, and The Haven is doing just that with some help from Downtown Mall denizens
who sometimes go unseen. The Haven will serve homestyle meals to the public on Wednesdays beginning in mid-September, and café staff (servers and hosts) will be guests of the day shelter. Diana Boeke, director of community engagement at The Haven, says the inspiration to serve lunch once a week to the public came from Our Community Place in Harrisonburg, a homeless and in-need shelter like The Haven. The Haven offers breakfast to the shelter’s guests daily, but Boeke says there is more need for community interaction. “For those people who are sort of in a state where they can’t engage with society very regularly, [these meals] create a sense of purpose and community in their life,” Boeke says. Eight Haven guests have signed up as waitstaff to gain job experience. There will be two invitation-only soft launches for the lunch program in August. The meal—a choice of salad or soup, a meat or vegetarian entrée and a dessert— will cost $10, all of which will go to The Haven. “All of our guests are your neighbors, too, whether you see them here, or you see them on the street or you don’t see them at all,” Boeke says. “They’re a part of the Charlottesville community.”

ave your cake and eat it, too: The newly launched Sliced. Cake Bar offers homemade cake by the slice, buttercream shots and cake flights (like a beer flight, but with cake). Co-owners Megan and Rock Watson got the idea after visiting a popular Dallas cake bar. Only Rock thought the sweet treats couldn’t hold a candle to his wife’s (she’s been making cakes for various events for 15 years). With use of a bakery space from a friend with Craft Cville, they were able to bring Sliced. to life. Six flavors are on the Sliced. menu: lemon, strawberry, confetti, chocolate with chocolate icing, chocolate salted caramel and carrot cake, all made with organic ingredients. For a cake flight, customers can choose three sample-sized flavors. The Watsons plan to experiment with local booze in their buttercream shots, too. Sliced. debuted at Early Mountain Vineyards on July 29. The lemon and chocolate salted caramel cakes were fan favorites— Rock says they sold out of both. The Watsons hope to bring their concept to local markets and will post upcoming dates and locations on Sliced.’s Facebook and Instagram pages. Eventually they hope to open a brick-andmortar store and hire teenagers who are in the foster-care system or are at-risk as part of an internship program that teaches them about the bakery business. The couple has fostered and adopted children themselves. “This is an opportunity for us to take something that we love doing and teach it and show it to others,” Megan says. Icing on the cake.

Freeze frame Local treats to help you play it cool By Alexa Nash eatdrink@c-ville.com
S
ummer in Charlottesville can be brutal, and this year is no exception (our car’s temperature display read 104 degrees last week!). Relief comes in many forms, but, let’s be honest, an icy, frozen treat on a scorching day is the ultimate refresher. Whether it’s a guacamole sundae at La Flor Michoacana or a boozy “poptail” from Vitae Spirits, here are some cool local hot spots where the experts will help you beat the heat.
The Juice Place While a smoothie from this juice shop on the Downtown Mall is certainly refreshing, the coolest kids know to order their smoothie in popsicle form. All of The Juice Place’s smoothie flavors (made with organic fruits and vegetables and no refined sugar) are turned into a healthy popsicle for $2. Try mango orange for a bright kick, or the creamy vegan fudgsicle made of cacao, banana and agave. Keep your cool this summer by ordering any of The Juice Place’s smoothies in popsicle form.
La Flor Michoacana
Wonderment at Snowing in Space
Prince Michel Vineyard & Winery Frozen margaritas are a standard go-to, but what about frozen wine? Prince Michel Vineyard & Winery boasts a wine slushie machine that churns out glasses of frozen peach bellini and red sangria for the refined slushie drinker. These babies are offered at both Carter Mountain Orchard and the winery’s Leon, Virginia, location. Pro tip: Mix the two flavors together for the ultimate sweet boozy treat.
Wiffle Pops This popsicle joint got its name from a frequent mispronunciation of its hometown: Wytheville. Its all-natural, handmade, locally sourced frozen treats are a staple at City Market in the summer. Owners Matt and Tessie Temple met in Charlottesville, and they make the pilgrimage every week to sell their popular pops with rotating flavors including mango, strawberry orange, blueberry lemonade, raspberry hibiscus and watermelon. Wiffle Pops creates custom orders as well, so get creative: How about cantaloupe dill?
Boylan Heights The burger joint on 14th Street offers the typical milkshake flavors but with a 21and-over twist. The Raspberry and Cream
shake features black raspberry liqueur, and the Rumplemint, spiked with Rumple Minze, will also wet your whistle. Feel free to ask the bartender to add booze to any of the more traditional shakes too: A staff favorite is adding Rumple Minze to the Cookies N Cream.
Vitae Spirits The craft distillery on Henry Avenue is known for its rum, gin and cordials, but it’s now getting into the summertime spirit (er, spirits). Vitae just launched a series of “poptails” using its alcoholic bounty—basically frozen cocktails on a stick. The initial line of flavors —piña colada, Modern Grape and orange dreamsicle—are sold at the tasting room, and future flavor suggestions are welcome.

Drop cookies and a reservoir of more than 60 flavors of ice cream make for some sweet summer lovin’ at Wonderment Bakeshop & Creamery, which makes its ice cream and

S
everal decades into Virginia’s booming post-Prohibition wine economy, we are starting to home in on some special vineyard sites throughout the state. In France, you’ll find heavily protected and coveted grand cru and premier cru sites; in other wine-centric countries you’ll find similar infrastructures protecting the best vineyards. What sites are emerging as Virginia’s equivalent to grand cru vineyards? A straightforward answer is much more elusive than you might think, because the question is being asked, perhaps, a bit too early. Learning the land takes time because agriculture takes time. The search for quality in the wine business is an especially drawn-out process because, though grapes are an annual product, a grape vine plant has a similar lifespan to a human, and grape vine roots can take decades to reach the depth and maturity they need to truly express their place. Only when the vines are echoing their environment can the influence of special sites shine their truest. This clarity of site quality can take decades and generations to discover. You just can’t rush it. “I’d say for the most part that we are so young as an industry that most of our best sites are unplanted and yet to be discovered,” says Early Mountain Vineyards’ Ben Jordan. “I’m not the first to say so, but I think the best is yet to come.” As the industry grows into its next phase, it’s helpful to revisit some vineyards that seem to have that “special something” in the hopes that we can glean a bit of experiential knowledge.
Ankida Ridge “There are a few characteristics that make Ankida Ridge a great site for growing qual-
ity wine grapes,” says winemaker Nathan Vrooman. “The elevation and relative altitude of the vineyard allow for excellent drainage of cold air, which helps to mitigate our risk for spring frost.” Additionally, the slope of the vineyard, combined with the loose rocky soil, allows for water drainage, so the plants are forced to send their roots deeper into the ground. Being on a mountainside, there’s almost constant air movement, so the plants and the fruit tend to dry very quickly, which results in lighter fungal pressures.
Barboursville Vineyards Barboursville winemaker Luca Paschina is always reevaluating his vineyard blocks for the highest quality material to make his Octagon blend. Among the vineyard’s 900 acres, there is a particular area that the wine team has designated “santa,” as if holy. For the past 18 years, it has been producing, with almost impeccable consistency, its prized merlot, which is the starting block of the winery’s Octagon blend. “Many elements make the block special,” Paschina says, “starting from the medium vigor red clay soil to the gradually steep slope facing to the east, which allows for a nice early morning dew-drying sun and for a cooling during the late summer afternoons.”
Michael Shaps Wineworks For Michael Shaps, who produces wine from grapes grown on various properties, three special vineyards stick out in his mind: Carter Mountain for its cabernet franc, the Gordonsville’s Honah Lee Vineyard for its petit manseng and Loudoun County’s Wild Meadow vineyard for its chardonnay. “What makes Wild Meadow so special is not one particular variable, but how all the
elements come together,” Shaps says. “The soil is lighter, loamier with less clay and with good drainage. But that in conjunction with the slope, exposure and its northern Virginia location, which provides cooler nighttime temps during the critical last two weeks of ripening, help to produce very balanced chemistry, which in wine vocab means fresh fruit.”
Veritas Vineyards Emily Pelton, winemaker at Veritas, loves the new vineyards her family has planted. She works mainly with the vineyards from Veritas’ first plantings in 1999, but says the newer ones—planted in the last four years— are quickly gaining her favor. “We cleared 30-odd acres on the top of our ‘saddleback’ and we have planted it to viognier and cabernet franc,” she says. “I think it may be the promise of the future that makes my heart skip a beat every time I visit these vineyards, or it may be the view, I’m not sure. This vineyard would be my first site that has considerable elevation and gorgeous aspect. Fingers crossed!”
Jake Busching Wines Winemaker Jake Busching is currently focusing on 800- to 1,000-foot elevation sites with clay-based soil: Honah Lee, Carter Mountain, Wild Meadow and similar vineyards that are slowly being tuned in vintage after vintage. “Monticello reds and Northern Virginia whites stand out to me, just as the Shenandoah Valley has so much to offer,” Busching says. “But like all of the sites, we need more time to suss it all out. We are headed into greatness. Patience seems like our best ally.” Erin Scala is the sommelier at Fleurie and Petit Pois. She holds the Diploma of Wines & Spirits, is a Certified Sake Specialist and writes about beverages on her blog, thinking-drinking.com.

VIRGINIA AT H L E T I C S
By Rob Brezsny
LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Would you scoff if I said that you’ll soon be blessed with supernatural assistance? Would you smirk and roll your eyes if I advised you to find clues to your next big move by analyzing your irrational fantasies? Would you tell me to stop spouting nonsense if I hinted that a guardian angel is conspiring to blast a tunnel through the mountain you created out of a molehill? It’s okay if you ignore my predictions, Virgo. They’ll come true even if you’re a staunch realist who doesn’t believe in woo-woo, juju or mojo.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the Season of Enlightenment for you. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will achieve an ultimate state of divine grace. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll be freestyling in satori, samadhi or nirvana. But one thing is certain: Life will conspire to bring you the excited joy that comes with deep insight into the nature of reality. If you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, please keep in mind these thoughts from designer Elissa Giles: “Enlightenment is not an asexual, dispassionate, head-in-the-clouds, nails-in-the-palms disappearance from the game of life. It’s a volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment to love in action, coupled with hard-headed practical grist.”
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some zoos sell the urine of lions and tigers to gardeners who sprinkle it on their gardens. Apparently the stuff scares off wandering house cats that might be tempted to relieve themselves in vegetable patches. I nominate this scenario to be a provocative metaphor for you in the coming weeks. Might you tap into the power of your inner wild animal so as to protect your inner crops? Could you build up your warrior energy so as to prevent run-ins with pesky irritants? Can you call on helpful spirits to ensure that what’s growing in your life will continue to thrive?
Sagittarius
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Each of us comes to know the truth in our own way, says astrologer Antero Alli. “For some, it is wild and unfettered,” he writes. “For others, it is like a cozy domesticated cat, while others find truth through their senses alone.” Whatever your usual style of knowing the truth might be, Leo, I suspect you’ll benefit from trying out a different method in the next two weeks. Here are some possibilities: trusting your most positive feelings; tuning in to the clues and cues your body provides; performing ceremonies in which you request the help of ancestral spirits; slipping into an altered state by laughing nonstop for five minutes. here’s Twain: 1. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” 2. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.” 3. “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” 4. “When in doubt, tell the truth.” 5. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “My grandfather used to tell me that if you stir muddy water it will only get darker,” wrote I. G. Edmonds in his book Trickster Tales. “But if you let the muddy water stand still, the mud will settle and the water will become clearer,” he concluded. I hope this message reaches you in time, Capricorn. I hope you will then resist any temptation you might have to agitate, churn, spill wine into, wash your face in, drink or splash around in the muddy water.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1985, Maurizio Cattelan quit his gig at a mortuary in Padua, Italy, and resolved to make a living as an artist. He started creating furniture, and ultimately evolved into a sculptor who specialized in satirical work. In 1999 he produced a piece depicting the Pope being struck by a meteorite. It sold for $886,000 in 2001. If there were ever going to be a time when you could launch your personal version of his story, Aquarius, it would be in the next 10 months. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should go barreling ahead with such a radical act of faith, however. Following your bliss rarely leads to instant success. It may take years (16 in Cattelan’s case). Are you willing to accept that?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Tally up your physical aches, psychic bruises and chronic worries.
Take inventory of your troubling memories, half-repressed disappointments and existential nausea. Do it, Pisces! Be strong. If you bravely examine and deeply feel the difficult feelings, then the cures for those feelings will magically begin streaming in your direction. You’ll see what you need to do to escape at least some of your suffering. So name your griefs and losses, my dear. Remember your near misses and total fiascoes. As your reward, you’ll be soothed and relieved and forgiven. A Great Healing will come.
Aries (March 21-April 19): I hope you’re making wise use of the surging fertility that has been coursing through you. Maybe you’ve been reinventing a long-term relationship that needed creative tinkering. Perhaps you have been hammering together an innovative business deal or generating new material for your artistic practice. It’s possible you have discovered how to express feelings and ideas that have been half-mute or inaccessible for a long time. If for some weird reason you are not yet having experiences like these, get to work! There’s still time to tap into the fecundity.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano defines idiot memory as the kind of remembrances that keep us attached to our old self-images, and trapped by them. Lively memory, on the other hand, is a feisty approach to our old stories. It impels us to graduate from who we used to be. “We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are,” writes Galeano. “Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case.” Here’s another clue to your current assignment, Taurus, from psychotherapist Dick Olney: “The goal of a good therapist is to help someone wake up from the dream that they are their self-image.”

(May 21-June 20): Sometimes, Gemini, loving you is a sacred honor for me—equivalent to getting a poem on my birthday from the Dalai Lama. On other occasions, loving you is more like trying to lap up a delicious milkshake that has spilled on the sidewalk, or slow-dancing with a giant robot teddy bear that accidentally knocks me down when it suffers a glitch. I don’t take it personally when I encounter the more challenging sides of you, since you are always an interesting place to visit. But could you maybe show more mercy to the people in your life who are not just visitors? Remind your dear allies of the obvious secret—that you’re composed of several different selves, each of whom craves different thrills.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Liz, my girlfriend when I was young, went to extreme lengths to cultivate her physical attractiveness. “Beauty must suffer,” her mother had told her while growing up, and Liz heeded that advice. To make her long blonde hair as wavy as possible, for example, she wrapped strands of it around six empty metal cans before bed, applied a noxious spray and then slept all night with a stinky, clanking mass of metal affixed to her head. While you may not do anything so literal, Cancerian, you do sometimes act as if suffering helps keep you strong and attractive—as if feeling hurt is a viable way to energize your quest for what you want. But if you’d like to transform that approach, the coming weeks will be a good time. Step one: Have a long, compassionate talk with your inner saboteur.

Q&A What’s your biggest concern about the August 12 alt-right rally? Events like this put Charlottesville on the map for the wrong reasons. Then you attract more events like this. You become a mecca for people that want violence. You have the instigators and the reactionaries. They don’t represent who we are. ANNE LOEBS/FACEBOOK
That the “progressive” City Council is allowing this neo-Nazi rally to happen at all despite its ballooning size, public safety concerns and the enormous strain it will place on citizens and downtown businesses alike—and at great expense to us as taxpayers. RYAN PATRICK MAGUIRE/ FACEBOOK
Someone gets killed. GARY BERRY/FACEBOOK
The alt-right will be armed to the gills and even though Virginia has an unlawful assembly law, saying that it is a felony to assemble with weapons, that the law won’t be upheld and there will be loss of life. TOBIA MIRIAM/FACEBOOK
Safety of people I know. KATE ENGLISH
