COMIC

If preseason predications are any indication, University of Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall once again has his work cut out for him this fall.

A July poll of 165 media members picked the Cavs, who went 2-10 last year, to finish last in the ACC Coastal Division this season. And while the team has several starters returning, including quarterback Kurt Benkert and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus on offense, as well as Quin Blanding and Micah Kiser on defense, recent reports say UVA’s unproven running game and its offensive line are both big question marks this year. The Hoos open their season at Scott Stadium against William & Mary on Saturday, September 2, at 3:30pm, followed by two more nonconference home games: Indiana University at 3:30pm on Saturday, September 9, and the University of Connecticut at noon on Saturday, September 16.

HERE COME THE BRIDES

MAILBAG Readers’ thoughts on the fate of the Lee statue Charlottesville should have a memorial park for those Civil War statues. That way, those who want to preserve the history can have their way, and those who are offended by the statues won’t have to look at them.

Ann Richer Charlottesville The city should move the statue of General Lee to a site for a Civil War museum much like the Holocaust Museum. It could be used to educate people about the horrors of slavery and war and be a reminder not to repeat past mistakes. The proceeds from the museum could be given to organizations that promote black advancement.

C’ville should set the example for other cities of how rational people behave.

Allison Robertson Charlottesville Melt the bronze. Use the bronze to create a life-sized statue of Martin Luther King holding Trayvon Martin’s hand, walking and talking, and place it in the middle of Emancipation Park.

I had to close Durty Nelly’s Saturday evening [August 12] at 7:30 due to threatening phone calls commencing at 5pm. In the long history of my working there I have never had that happen before. Apparently, we were just one of the many businesses forced to close. It made me incredibly sad that our town has become so immersed in conflict... all over a man on a horse. After refreshing my own memory with the historical facts of the Civil War, I realized how much I really didn’t know or had forgotten. Maybe a lot of other people need that same information and with that knowledge comes power...the power and capability to embrace the statue for the good it represents.

Lee surrendered to a partially black Union army, millions of slaves were freed, his soldiers allowed to keep their sidearms and horses out of respectfulness from Grant. Traveller was Lee’s beloved horse and stories vary about him, but they are endearing to say the very least. He has quite the history. That statue is not frightening at all...it’s a beautiful piece of art and we are very blessed to have it and others to admire and enjoy. The statue is not the evil we should fear. It is just a man on a horse!

If we start removing historical monuments, memorials and statues where does it end...is the Statue of Liberty next on the list? Sadly, the [August 11-13] weekend was about anything BUT that statue. Maybe it’s time for some to recalibrate their moral compasses and find better ways to spend their spare time. For others, time to educate, educate, educate...our public, our children, our students and our visitors as to what Charlottesville is truly all about!

I continue to advocate for the removal of Confederate statues, because they glorify the institution of slavery. However, history and artwork should not be destroyed, even if it is offensive. The statue of General Lee should be placed in a Civil War museum and the proceeds given to black charities.

Physical library locations are becoming less frequented, because people are accessing libraries through websites, so maybe [a library] could be transformed into the Civil War museum and the statue moved there.

On a different but related topic, I think the Unite the Right rally organized by Jason Kessler was intended to divide people into fractions and promote chaos. I am a proponent of free speech, even speech that is as repugnant as Kessler’s, because I have faith that people will identify it as the pathetic ramblings of a disturbed individual.

Critical thinkers have to question Jason Kessler’s motivation for his Unite the Right rally and his sanity because of his past. One has to wonder if he is really a left-wing provocateur practicing the art of the absurd, or performing political theatrical satire?

In October 2016, Kessler spoke about methodologies he studied, and referenced Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules for Radicals, outlining tactics to indirectly assault political opposition.

Mr. Kessler was an Obama supporter and voted for him. Kessler is alleged to have been involved with Occupy Wall Street, supporting the destruction of capitalism. Now Kessler says he supports the KKK and wants other white people to unite with them? That’s absurd and creates a greater divide. Yet he claims to be against

the use of identity politics that create division among different categories of people.

Kessler flip-flops at every turn! Today Kessler says he is a conservative. Yesterday, Kessler was a liberal. Who will he be tomorrow?

Kessler is a small man and has been physically assaulted by anti-protesters. He was knocked to the ground while running away from an angry woman, causing the police to step in and protect him. He is not so scary as he is pathetic. If Kessler starts waving around a weapon and threatens individuals with imminent physical harm, my tolerance will dissolve, but he’s just communicating hateful ideas, not threatening bodily harm. If you really want to piss him off, ignore him.

Mr. Kessler is a person that we have absolutely no respect for. He’s a very troubled person that we do not think fully understands the damage he’s caused this community and elsewhere, but he was not guilty of criminal conduct.—Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nina Antony

IN BRIEF

Kessler meltdown, dropped charges The city’s neo-Nazi event organizer tweeted August 18 that Heather Heyer was a communist and her death was payback. The next day, he blamed drugs, alcohol and stress, his Twitter account disappeared, his website went down, and white nationalist Richard Spencer disavowed Kessler’s comments. On August 21, the city declined to prosecute a disorderly conduct charge against Kessler stemming from a May 14 candlelight vigil.

ACLU shift Following the deadly August 12 Unite the Right rally, the American Civil Liberties Union said it will no longer represent hate groups with firearms. The ACLU of Virginia sued on behalf of Jason Kessler and got an injunction to hold the event in Emancipation Park. Now the state ACLU is calling for the removal of all Confederate monuments.

Lean on me

Saturday, August 12, was a dark day in Charlottesville’s history. Fortunately, plenty of people from near and far have been willing to help. Crowdfunding sites abound for many of the injured—and the woman killed—over that dreadful weekend. Amounts are as of press time on August 22.

Heather Heyer, killed in the car attack: $225,000 goal

Tyler Magill, suffered a stroke after being hit with a tiki torch: $121,271 raised of $135,000 goal

JACKSON SMITH

Marcus Martin, victim of the car attack: $61,480 raised of $40,000 goal Dakotah Bowie, victim of the car attack: $32,663 raised of $50,000 goal

Besides second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and failure to stop in an incident involving death, on August 18 James Fields Jr. picked up two more counts of malicious wounding and three of aggravated malicious wounding. At least 30 people were hospitalized from the attack.

Heal Charlottesville Fund, sponsored by the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation: More than $200,000 raised Portugal. The Man will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from its August 21 concert at the Sprint Pavilion to the Heal Charlottesville Fund.

Beloved Community Charlottesville collected pledges from more than 1,000 donors for every white nationalist who came, and raised $67,000 that will go to City of Promise, IRC, Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and Public Housing Association of Residents.

Healing heart Over the last week and a half, this austere graphic has become a ubiquitous symbol of healing and hope in Charlottesville, found on Facebook profile pictures, store windows and on posters and T-shirts for unity events.

But its creator, Rock Paper Scissors’ coowner Dani Antol, says she couldn’t have imagined the overwhelming response.

“Being a designer, I’m like, man, I could have created something more unique or different than just ‘C’ville’ in a heart,” she jokes, “but I think that is the beauty of it.

It just relays the simple message of love and community, especially in a time of turmoil, disbelief and so many questions.”

Antol made the graphic—a teal heart, representing peace, tranquility and calm, with a scripted “C’ville” inside—on the afternoon of Saturday, August 12, and says it was meant as a message of unity to post at her shop and on social media accounts.

But soon others were using it as their own, and the Downtown Mall store itself has given out almost 1,000 free posters printed with the graphic. Going forward, it plans to donate 50 percent of gross sales of items with the heart to the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation’s Heal Charlottesville Fund, to continue disseminating its message of goodwill.—Caite White

Council coup

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

B

Anarchy ruled at the first City Council meeting after the August 12 alt-right rally.

of Stonewall Jackson at Justice Park, as well as the statue of Robert E. Lee that she and Signer voted against removing in February.

Galvin said the events of August 12 had shown her that keeping the statues in place was “untenable in the long run,” but it would be around 12:30am before she could introduce her resolution.

On August 18, Signer said he was changing his vote and he called upon the General Assembly to hold a special session and allow localities to determine the fates of their Confederate monuments.

At the council meeting, Signer said it was time for the Constitution to change to address “intentional mayhem” that is not covered in the First Amendment, much as courts have ruled it’s not okay to shout “fire” in crowded venues.

Among other questions from citizens, Jones denied that police had been told to not intervene. “There was no stand-down order from anyone in city government.

None,” he said.

To concerns about the weapons-carrying militias, Jones reminded everyone that Vir-

ginia is an open-carry state, but admitted, “It caused great confusion having those gunmen in our parks.” Councilors want legislators to give them leeway to regulate that, as well.

The protection of Congregation Beth Israel on Jefferson Street was another concern, and Jones explained that there were almost 50 officers in the block and a half around the synagogue, including snipers on the roof of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society. “I completely understand people feeling unsafe,” he said. “We had people keeping an eye on it.”

Perhaps one of the biggest questions is why Fourth Street was open in the first place.

One woman said it was barricaded when she went by it around 6am August 12, and Jones said that is being investigated.

The other was why UVA police were not visible as torch-carriers terrorized Grounds.

A question for the university, responded Jones.

Close to 1am, Councilor Kristin Szakos made a resolution that passed 5-0: to drape the statues of Lee and Jackson in black cloth for a city in mourning.

ROB GARLAND / THE PARAMOUNT THEATER

“I’d rather have my child, but by golly, if I have to give her up, we’re going to make it count,” Bro said and encouraged those in attendance to notice the injustices going on around them and stand up for those who need it, just like Heyer always did.

Also among the list of speakers were Heyer’s grandfather, Elwood Shrader, her father, Mark Heyer, her pastor, cousins, friends and co-workers.

All spoke about how the fiery 32-year-old was filled with love and passion, but never backed down from an argument.

Susan Bro, mother of Heather Heyer, spoke during the August 16 memorial for her daughter at the Paramount Theater.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Droves of community members clothed in shades of purple poured into the Paramount Theater August 16 to remember Heather Heyer, a local activist and paralegal who lost her life to what some have called an act of domestic terrorism the weekend before.

“They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what. You just magnified her,” said her mother, Susan Bro. The crowd of hundreds erupted in applause and sharp whistles as nearly every person stood in support.

Heyer was killed August 12 when a participant of the alt-right’s infamous Unite the Right rally plowed into a crowd of peacefully protesting pedestrians on the Downtown Mall with his Dodge Challenger.

HEATHER HEYER’S LEGACY LIVES ON

August 23 – 29, 3017 c-ville.com

arely 30 minutes into its August 21 meeting, City Council was in chaos.

Three demonstrators were reportedly arrested, city officials left the chamber, and the meeting’s video and audio feeds were cut off as protesters stood on the dais holding a banner that read, “Blood on your hands.”

The rage, frustration and trauma from the August 11-12 events that brought white supremacists and neo-Nazis to town were palpable among the more than 50 people who spoke when councilors came back into council chamber, and they blamed City Council for allowing it to happen.

Vice-Mayor Wes Bellamy took control of the meeting, jettisoned the agenda and turned it into a public comment with speakers allowed to talk for a minute—or as long as they wished—for nearly four hours.

Mayor Mike Signer took the brunt of citizens’ rage. “Mr. Signer, it seems to me we should change your name to Dr. Frankenstein, because you’ve created a monster and the villagers are storming,” said council regular John Heyden.

At about that point, Signer said the meeting was canceled and left the chamber, but he was not followed by his fellow councilors.

“Signer has shown his true colors,” said Don Gathers, who was chair of the city’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials and Public Spaces.

Upon his return about 10 minutes later, Signer was derided, particularly by independent council candidate Nikuyah Walker, who demanded that he leave. “You just showed us you’re not a leader.”

Again and again, speakers said the city had been warned those coming to Unite the Right rally intended violence.

“I told you so,” said one, a woman who described herself as a child of the ’60s. “I’ve seen this movie before,” she said.

“You want to call yourself the capital of the resistance,” said Emily Gorcenski, who

videoed white nationalists marching through UVA Grounds August 11. She said the real resistance was from the medics who were there, and added, “Charlottesville is the capital of the antifa.”

And when citizens blamed council for allowing the alt-right rally, Signer pointed out that a federal judge ruled against the city. “We really tried hard to get it out of downtown,” he said.

For hours, there was no placating citizens, who were ready for council to ignore state and federal law and remove the statues that night.

“Will you charge us if we take them down tonight?” asked Jonny Nuckols.

It was around 11:30pm before City Manager Maurice Jones could begin to respond to questions about the event that left Heather Heyer dead and at least 30 injured when a neo-Nazi-driven Dodge Challenger plowed into a crowd on Fourth Street.

The number of those hurt was challenged by a woman whose daughter was injured in the deliberate crash and had two broken legs.

The daughter was taken to Sentara Martha Jefferson, which had at least another dozen victims beyond the 19 reported taken to UVA, said the woman.

Jones explained that in Virginia, state law prohibits the removal of war memorials, unlike places such as Maryland and Texas that have removed Confederate monuments in the past week.

He also pointed to a federal judge who did not allow the city to move the rally to McIntire Park and issued his ruling about the same time polo-shirted neo-Nazis were swarming the Lawn. When asked why the city didn’t shut down the event after the tiki-torch march Friday night and the attacks on protesters at the Thomas Jefferson statue, Jones said, “We’d already lost in court.”

Councilors listed actions they wanted to take to prevent such an invasion of hate happening again.

Earlier that day, Councilor Kathy Galvin said at a press conference that she would introduce a resolution to remove the statue

Hundreds of people—many wearing purple, one of Heather Heyer’s favorite colors—attended the memorial.

Governor Terry McAuliffe and Senator Tim Kaine sat in the front row next to Heyer’s family. Both were quick to give their condolences and denounce the white nationalist rally that thrust Charlottesville into the national spotlight and brought the community face to face with hate.

“Maybe if you didn’t stand up, or if you didn’t talk so loudly, or if you weren’t so bold, they wouldn’t have heard you and you’d still be here,” Khateeb-Wilson said.

“She wanted to put down hate. ...She could tell if somebody wasn’t being straight and she’d call you on it,” her father said.

“It didn’t matter who you were or 8/16/17 12:32 PM where you were from, if she loved you, that was it,” he added. “You were stuck.”

Diana Ratcliffe remembered Heyer’s infections smile and eyes that glittered.

She read a letter she wrote to her “baby cousin” in the aftermath of the tragedy.

“Did I tell you that you come from a long line of stubborn and passionate women?” she said. “Your patience was heroic,” and she, too, said Heyer never gave up on people.

Her coworkers echoed the same sentiments, and said Heyer treated her clients at the Miller Law Group—many of whom have shared their condolences— with the utmost care.

“She cared about everyone she spoke to,” said Alfred Wilson, her supervisor, and she always stood her ground. He remembered a time the two were leaving the office one evening and her boyfriend was outside waiting for her. “You didn’t tell me you worked for a black man,” her boyfriend said. Heyer, unsurprisingly, broke things off after that.

“Everyone who knows her knows that she cursed like a sailor sometimes,” said co-worker and close friend Freda Khateeb-Wilson, and the audience laughed while she recounted Heyer’s everyday battles with the office printer.

hen Ohio resident Bill Burke came to protest Charlottesville’s white nationalist Unite the Right rally, he was expecting a peaceful assembly. Instead, he got plowed into by a 20-year-old driving a Dodge Challenger.

“I can remember the feeling of people hitting up against me,” he says in an email.

“I’m not sure if the car hit me too or not, it’s hard to say. Then I remember a woman saying I had to hold my head together.”

Burke says the person assisting him grabbed his arm and pushed his hand against his head. He could feel blood pouring from his open wounds.

“People kept telling me to stay awake and look at them, and I just wanted to close my eyes and rest,” he says. He could feel a person lying next to him. He realized, at some point, that medics were doing CPR on her.

“I could feel every time they did a chest compression because we were so close,” Burke says. “I used to be an EMT and I’ve seen some bad stuff, but not being able to do anything for her was the most helpless feeling I’ve ever had.”

He didn’t realize until later that the woman lying next to him was Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman who was killed during the attack.

Burke is one of the 19 victims injured in what many have called an act of domestic terrorism. He suffered two deep head lacerations that required about a dozen staples and many stitches. He has many abrasions and limited mobility because he’s still experiencing a lot pain on his left side.

He also has concussion symptoms and uses a cane when walking more than a few feet.

Regardless, Burke says, “I am doing really well.”

Earlier this summer, Burke, who works for the Athens County Foster Parent Association, attended an International Socialist Organization conference in Chicago, where he says a Charlottesville woman was pleading for solidarity and support, “and was scared for the lives of her family and friends and herself.” This is when he felt called to protest the rally. He came alone from Hockingport, Ohio.

He could see the Western heritage defenders who descended on Charlottesville riding around the city in trucks, holding guns, throwing bottles and yelling, he says.

“We were chanting loudly, but I didn’t see any fighting or throwing stuff,” he says about his own group. “We were just feeling the excitement of being together and supporting each other. Then I remember hearing some screaming, and I heard a car engine revving up, like someone was punching the accelerator.”

That person also came from Ohio.

Maumee resident James Alex Fields Jr., faces charges of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and failing to stop.

Burke, now home in Hockingport, turned 40 August 13 while in the hospital.

When asked if he regrets his trip to Charlottesville, Burke says, “No, not in the least bit. I think it’s important to speak out against hate.” And he has a message for Fields, the driver of the Challenger who injured him. “I feel sad that you have so much hate at such a young age. Our society has failed you.”

Defense strategy

violence in either of our parks.” His team provided food and water to counterprotesters, as well as first aid for tear gassing and contusions, including to one white nationalist “who was pretty beat up,” says Heinecke.

“We provided a respite for counterdemonstrators before they went out to defend their community,” says Heinecke.

Which brings him to his feud with President Trump, who blamed anti-fascists for the violence against the peaceful, permitted white supremacists.

“Those were people from our community who went out,” says Heinecke. “Without those people the damages would have been so much worse.”

And Heinecke does credit a heavily armed out-of-town militia: the John Brown Brigade, which stood on a corner outside Justice Park all day. “As the level of violence by Nazis and white supremacists grew, I was comforted by their presence,” he says.

Heinecke says his mission was accomplished, but as the permit holder in the parks, “It was stressful having all those people under my care.” And he says he was

disappointed by police “allowing beatings to go on around town without intervention.”

But he was also heartened throughout the day when the clergy, students from around the commonwealth and the Democratic Socialists of America marched in.

Says Heinecke, “There were really a lot of positive community endeavors in the midst of all that violence.”

residence, Carr’s Hill, is across the street from the Rotunda).

When the student asks where the administration was during the torchlight rally, Sullivan points out that Dean of Students Allen Groves was present and that most administration isn’t around on a Friday night when classes aren’t in session. “We didn’t know they were coming,” says Sullivan.

“I guess I’m just curious how a group of anonymous students knew they were coming,” the student says.

“Did you tell us? Did you tell us they were coming?” Sullivan replies. “No, you didn’t. Nobody elevated it to us. Don’t expect us to be reading the alt-right websites. We don’t do that. You know, you’ve got some responsibility here too.

Tell us what you know.”

“So we should have brought this information to you?” the student asks.

“Anybody who knew could have told us,” Sullivan replies, ending the conversation.—Erin O’Hare

In a Facebook Live video posted to the UVA Students United Facebook page Sunday evening, a student who was present at the Rotunda on Friday, August 11, approaches President Sullivan to ask a few questions about administrative inaction the night of the white supremacists’ torchlight march.

“Where were you Friday night? And why were you not standing with your students?” the student asks.

alt Heinecke had planned to hold nonviolent direct action training the night before the August 12 Unite the Right rally. Instead, he ended up doing nonviolent intervention and defending UVA students from torch-carrying white nationalists in front of the Rotunda Friday night, running two counterprotests at McGuffey and Justice parks on Saturday, and contradicting in the Washington Post President Donald Trump’s assertions that those opposed to Nazis didn’t have a permit, which they did, but in any case, didn’t need.

The Curry School professor and community activist was scheduled to do the training at 9:30pm August 11 at St. Paul’s Memorial Church. He’d parked at the architecture school a couple of blocks away, and on his way to St. Paul’s, ran into some legal observers who had seen Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler and headlining alt-righter Richard Spencer go by—with unlit tiki torches.

The church was on lockdown because of reports of white supremacists in the area, says Heinecke. “Someone screamed, ‘Your students are surrounded by Nazis in front of the Rotunda!’” Heinecke recounts by phone from Northern California, where he was regrouping under the redwoods.

“I was shocked by the number of neoNazis,” he says. “And I couldn’t believe the police presence—I couldn’t see any.”

Heinecke says he asked Dean of Students Allen Groves where the University Police were, and Groves said he didn’t know, that maybe they were patrolling with Charlottesville police.

“The violence and the temperature kept going up,” says Heinecke. “Some of my students were there.”

They had taken the nonviolent training and stood with their backs to the Thomas Jefferson statue and their arms locked together, which meant they couldn’t throw punches and couldn’t reach for pepper spray, he explains.

August 23 – 29, 3017 c-ville.com

He started going around the circle of what he estimates were 15 to 20 students, asking them if they wanted to leave. “They were following the rules [of nonviolent direct action].” He adds, “They were scared.”

The scene was “horrendous,” he says. “I saw a neo-Nazi throw a torch at Allen and then they started macing. I got hit with that.”

He was aware Tyler Magill, who served the next day as one of Heinecke’s marshals to keep order at Justice Park, was there. “I didn’t see him, but understand he got hit in the throat.” Magill, who also chased Kessler August 13 when he tried to have a press conference in front of City Hall, had a stroke August 15.

Heinecke says he and Groves dragged students out of the fray and over to the side.

“At 10:17, I called 911.”

After his call and many of the “fascists” had dispersed, says Heinecke, “police came and threatened to arrest us all—Dean Groves and the students and me.”

University Police arrested Ian Hoffmann, of Palmyra, Pennsylvania, at the Rotunda, and he was charged with assault.

Heinecke says he’s disappointed by the lack of police presence for something that was “common knowledge,” and he doesn’t understand why the UVA community wasn’t alerted.

“Last week we got a text there was a bear cub wandering around,” he says. “Why not text that there are neo-Nazis wandering around? What about the people of color on staff who were working? What about the faculty of color working in their offices getting ready for students?”

Heinecke is on the UVA Faculty Senate, and he says he’s called for an investigation into why there was no police response sooner and why there wasn’t an alert to what he calls a “credible threat.”

That was the first day of the Unite the Right infestation.

As hellish as August 12 was for much of Charlottesville, Heinecke says the counterdemonstrations in McGuffey and Justice parks “were very successful. There was no

An Open Letter to City & County Residents On behalf of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and County staff, I would like to offer sincere condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of the victims of the violence that occurred in our community. We are extremely distressed and dismayed by the actions of those who came into our community and acted in ignorance and hate, and we condemn those actions in the strongest of terms. We continue to stress our clear and unequivocal rejection of ignorance, hatred, violence and intolerance. As seen in our community’s response over the past several days, we do not accept hatred and bigotry - that is not who we are.

We appreciate the courage and professionalism of the many public safety officers and our own local residents and others who stepped into frightening and chaotic situations to offer aid and care. They represented the true spirit of our community by acting with grace and compassion in the most trying of circumstances. We are mindful of the need for reflection and healing in the days to come.

From those who stood their ground near the Rotunda, looking out for each other and distracting torch-wielding white supremacists from marching on a nearby church, to a young journalist who spent a week covering the events at UVA so her fellow students could stay informed, UVA students, faculty and staff are lending their voices to the conversation in a major way.

Although UVA and Charlottesville are different, in many ways—particularly in the challenges both communities face going forward as they confront the past and rebuild together—they have an awful lot in common.

P

eople in Charlottesville like to talk about the UVA bubble. We can’t argue with that—between classes and clubs and activities and jobs, not all university students get off Grounds and out into the city.

Some do, though, and plenty of faculty and staff are active members of the Charlottesville community, too.

But after Friday, August 11, when white supremacists, neo-Nazis and KKK members marched on UVA Grounds the night before they marched through the city, threatening students just as they did locals, that bubble started leaking some air.

Reclaiming their Grounds DAN ADDISON / UVA UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS

UVA students and the community retrace white nationalists’ steps

EZE AMOS

UVA RESPONDS

By Samantha Baars and Erin O’Hare

EZE AMOS

T

he Lawn was illuminated in soft white candlelight the night of August 16, as thousands of community members retraced the steps of the August 11 white nationalist tiki torch march from the University of Virginia’s Nameless Field to the Rotunda.

Their message was one of love and peace, and taking back what belongs to them.

“I think it’s important after what happened,” says UVA fourth-year nursing student Talia Sion. “It’s a message of positivity, light and hope. We love Charlottesville, we love our community, and we’re reclaiming our Grounds.”

Sion wasn’t in town for the alt-right’s August 12 Unite the Right rally, but she says she was “horrified” as she watched the violent scenes playing out in her college town. “It’ll definitely affect our community, but as students, we take it and it makes us stronger. We grow from it.”

Sion, a Jewish student, marched with third-year Truman BrodyBoyd, who also practices Judaism.

Brody-Boyd, who usually wears a kippah, says he helped facilitate first-year orientation this summer, and no more than three weeks ago, he recalls telling a group of incoming students how welcoming the Charlottesville community is.

“I’ve never felt uncomfortable,” he says. “I’ve never felt unsafe. To see all of that come crashing down last weekend was an incredible wake-up call.”

Watching from Williamsburg as the “terrifying” events unfolded, Brody-Boyd says he felt “powerless” and that marching the same steps that hate took less than a week ago was the first step of “repairing and rebuilding.”

He’s been in town since Monday, August 14, and had planned to move into his Jewish fraternity house Sunday, August 13, until the national chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi decided to close it for the weekend. The morning of Tuesday, August 15, he says his fraternity brothers met with a security adviser who showed them which windows and doors to reinforce.

“It made me feel more confident, but it’s sad that it needs to occur,” he says. “I feel safe and secure again.”

On the south side of the Rotunda, facing the Lawn, people sang, “Lean on me, when you’re not strong, and I’ll be your friend,” while some continued to march around to the front, where hundreds of

August 23 – 29, 2017 c-ville.com

white nationalists had surrounded and assaulted approximately two dozen protesters who linked arms around the Thomas Jefferson statue last Friday. It took nearly an hour for the entire crowd to walk the route from start to finish. Later in the evening, groups sang “Oh Freedom!,” “Stand By Me,” “God Bless America” and “The Good Old Song.”

On the north side of the Rotunda, a man with a short gray braid burned sage as people took photos and video with their phones.

Alumnae Javona Braxton and Nadia Anderson, who were roommates at the university in the late 1990s and currently serve as advisers to black UVA students, stood together near the Jefferson statue. Both wore UVA shirts. “We were concerned,” says Anderson, “not sure exactly what to do, but we wanted to be here and be a part of it, so we prayed and we got on the road” from Richmond.

“This is like our second home, so to see the attack of hate that was here was disturbing,” Braxton says. Knowing that students had to return to Grounds to start the fall semester, “we couldn’t be fearful to come back” as alumni, Braxton says. “We won’t back down to hate.”

The marchers placed their dripping candles at the foot of the statue, where a poster of Tyler Magill—the University of Virginia library employee who feared for the students’ safety and joined them and later suffered a stroke August 15 from injuries sustained that night at the Rotunda—sat among the flames.

Only one word was written on the sign: “Resist.”

University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan addressed questions August 15 about the torchlight march in a message to the UVA community. The university does not require permits to gather in its state-owned outdoor spaces, where candles—and tiki torches—are not prohibited.

“Law enforcement became aware late Friday afternoon from social media posts that there was a possibility of protesters gathering at the Rotunda later that evening,” she says.

Police were given misleading details and told the white nationalists would gather at Nameless Field and march up University Avenue, Sullivan says. Instead, they went up McCormick Road and onto the Lawn.

An alert was not issued because of the “short duration of the physical altercation,” she says. “There was a compelling interest in not attracting more protesters and heightened violence.”

On August 18, one week after the KKKesque march through Grounds, Sullivan named law school Dean Risa Goluboff to chair a group of deans and others to determine the next steps in the university’s response to being used as a backdrop to hate.

“As a member of this community, and also a civil rights historian and legal scholar, I can think of no more important task at this moment,” writes Goluboff in a message to the Cavalier community.

Among the group’s tasks will be to explore legal options to events that can be forbidden on Grounds, and to hire an outside security firm to conduct a comprehensive review and propose recommendations for security and safety improvements.

Says Goluboff, “President Sullivan’s charge to our group was one of recovery and response. That is exactly right. We must recover from violence, from bigotry, from vulnerability. We must heal.”—Lisa Provence

The white nationalists who marched from Nameless Field to the Rotunda statue with tiki torches Friday, August 11, surrounded a group of UVA students that linked arms around the Jefferson statue in nonviolent protest.

ing the Unite the Right rally and avoiding weapons and water bottles full of urine being tossed in and out of the park. Later in the day, she and other students were marching on Fourth Street SE when the car attack by a white nationalist that killed Heather Heyer happened. Some students were injured when the car plowed into the group of peaceful protesters.

On Sunday, M. went to her part-time service industry job.

The following Wednesday, August 16, many UVA students, faculty, staff, alumni and Charlottesville residents gathered for a student-organized candlelight vigil to retrace the route of Friday’s torchlight rally. M. and other students who were present at the Rotunda Friday night stayed home.

“The image of flames on the Lawn is very triggering to all of us. …And to re-walk the routes felt, just, very off. Very off,” says M. Plenty of students and community members felt a sense of community at the vigil, and M. is glad for that, “but it did sting to hear that they were celebrating UVA and this community when we felt so abandoned Friday,” she says.

M. doesn’t feel as deserted by her peers as she does UVA’s administration. “I don’t see a responsibility of my peers, a duty for them, necessarily. I hope that what they see would enrage them enough to speak out. ...I’m not saying I’ve given up on them. But I see the administration as having an actual responsibility to protect us.

“One administrator and one professor showed up [on Friday],” M. says, noting that University of Virginia library employee Tyler Magill, who later suffered a stroke from injuries sustained at the Rotunda that night, was there as well. “That’s it. It shouldn’t have been that way,” she says.

“The image of flames on the Lawn is very triggering to all of us. ...And to re-walk the routes felt, just, very off. Very off,” says M. Plenty of students and community members felt a sense of community at the vigil, and M. is glad for that, “but it did sting to hear that they were celebrating UVA and this community when we felt so abandoned Friday.”

sons—pepper spray and some other sort of chemical had been dispersed; there was fire; tiki torches were used as weapons. The students found their designated buddies and pushed their way out of the crowd around the statue, M. says. Some students flushed their pepper spray-swollen eyes with water; others needed help rinsing chemicals from their backs. M. estimates the entire thing happened over the course of 20 minutes.

All the while, the people in St. Paul’s across the street were kept in the church on lockdown, and other students, unaware of what was happening just steps away, were at bars on the Corner like it was any other Friday night in Charlottesville.

By about 10:30pm, police had shown up, declared an unlawful assembly and disbanded the crowd; folks were allowed out of St. Paul’s by about 11pm. It was a lot to process, but “none of us let it sink in,” M. says. “We just had to keep the momentum going” for the next day.

Saturday morning, this same group of students was back at it, first walking with the clergy from the Jefferson School to Emancipation Park, then participating in a musical protest that set out at about 10:45am from The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative to Emancipation Park, where the Unite the Right rally was set to take place at noon. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency at 11:28am; police declared an unlawful assembly by 11:37am.

For M., this felt very personal. “I’ve walked these streets since I could walk, and to see my hometown transform into this war was...I couldn’t process it at the time,” she says, her eyes welling up. She focused on staying with her friends dur-

August 23 – 29, 2017 c-ville.com

n the evening of Friday, August 11, a group of about 20 students from colleges and universities across the commonwealth, all still on summer break, got together for dinner. After dinner, they’d planned to go to St. Paul’s Memorial Church on University Avenue, where hundreds of people, including clergy, had gathered to pray and collect their thoughts in advance of Saturday’s Unite the Right rally.

All that changed, though, when they heard from a friend, who found out via social media, that Unite the Right rally organizer, Charlottesville resident and former University of Virginia student Jason Kessler intended to lead a torchlight march from Nameless Field through Grounds to the Rotunda.

Once these students learned about the march, they knew they had to be there. “We’ve admired and looked up to people who have stood up to hate in history, and it was just not a question—we had to do the same,” says M., a UVA student and Charlottesville native who agreed to speak with C-VILLE on the condition of anonymity.

“We didn’t exactly put out a call to arms,” M. says, “but I don’t think it crossed our minds to rally more people. I think we expected more people just to show up on their own,” especially because the torchlight march was public knowledge at that point.

At around 9:30pm, the students arrived at the Rotunda steps facing University Avenue. “It was eerily quiet,” M. says.

She and her fellow students, plus a few antifa folks who had heard about the march as well, were the only people she saw on the plaza. Soon, they heard a roar from down the street that “sounded like hundreds of men,” M. recalls. A signal the march had begun. “I knew it was coming, but it was still terrifying,” she says.

The 20 or so students linked arms around the base of the statue—they only just made it around—and called for some onlookers to join them. A few students clutched a bed-sheet banner that read, “VA Students Act Against White Supremacy.” Antifa on the scene handed out baseball caps to the students, to help protect their identities and avoid future harassment from the alt-right.

“It stings to see people criticizing [the antifa] for violence, because they were really the only people who protected us” that night, says M., who was one of the banner holders.

M. didn’t look over the banner in front of her as the tikitorch carrying white supremacists marched down the Rotunda steps, screaming “white lives matter!” as they flooded the plaza and surrounded the students. “The moment my heart dropped was when I could no longer hear the people next to me, or myself,” says M. “They were so loud.”

At one point, Curry School professor Walt Heinecke and Dean of Students Allen Groves ran into the crowd and offered to help the students, but they chose to stand their ground for a bit longer. After a few minutes, a fight broke out on one side of the statue. “I thought it was going to be a stampede because there were so many people,” says M., but someone in the circle yelled, “Don’t run!”

The students stood at the base of the statue, arms linked, for a few more minutes until dispersing for safety rea-

What started as a dream, many years ago, turned into a reality in the summer of 2015.

And because of you, a little more than two years later, that reality, which was already a fixture in the Charlottesville community, became a champion. The meteoric rise that has taken place over the last several months would not have been possible without the support of our terrific fan base. For the third consecutive summer, the Charlottesville Tom Sox led the Valley League in attendance, and the euphoria from the bleachers made its way to the diamond in spades.

Our players fed off of your enthusiasm and passion night in and night out, and your cheers/ hand-claps helped our program achieve unparalleled heights on the field. Program and league hitting and pitching records fell by the day, and because of you, those memorable moments were even more special. When we made our maiden launch just over two years ago, we echoed that we could not do this without the support of the community, and you stepped up the plate, and then some.

The tangible awards from winning the 2017 Valley Baseball League Championship are great, but the memories shared with all of you are the prizes that our players will hold onto in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Thank you all again for your amazing support all summer and we’ll see you next year!

From the front lines Cav Daily senior associate news editor shares her story

By Erin O’Hare cvillearts@c-ville.com

Gravely says it was a bit of a blur to her, but she’s seen enough video and photos to know what happened: Hundreds of marchers surrounded a small group of students that was standing around the Jefferson statue in front of the Rotunda, chanting and waving their tiki torches, and after a few minutes, a fight broke out. At that point, the students protesting the march had left the statue and regrouped off to the side, administering first aid and chanting “black lives matter,” Gravely says. She interviewed a few of them while Dodson and another reporter set off to interview alt-right marchers.

Video streams saved, interviews recorded and photos taken, the three of them headed back to the Cavalier Daily office to write into the wee hours of the morning.

They were back out there again Saturday, too, arriving at Emancipation Park around the time that Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency and police declared an unlawful assembly. Gravely was covering social media for the Cavalier Daily, Tweeting, Facebook live streaming and snapping photos to post right away, and the first thing she remembers seeing was a police car covered in pink paint. “It reminded me of something in a movie, or even somewhere else where riots occur,” Gravely says. She saw someone set fire to a Confederate flag and she saw newspaper boxes tossed. She and some other Cavalier Daily staffers caught a mouthful of tear gas, or pepper spray—she doesn’t know which—and Gravely thought, “I don’t know if I can do this because I literally cannot breathe.”

But she persisted, snapping photos at Emancipation Park before hopping in her car and driving with other reporters to McIntire Park, where the white nationalists had gathered.

Gravely says she writes because she likes to tell stories, and for all of the bad she saw that weekend, she saw a lot of good, and both kinds of stories are worth telling. On Sunday evening, she arrived at the vigil for Heather Heyer, who was killed Saturday when a car plowed into a crowd of peaceful protesters, on Fourth Street SE with her camera in tow, ready to document the event for the Cavalier Daily. But once people started handing out flowers and singing John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Gravely, moved to tears, couldn’t help but hug a few strangers.

After a few exhausting days of reporting, “I felt like I was part of a community,” says Gravely. “The town...I don’t know that they’d consider us [UVA students] a part of their community, which I completely get, because UVA is a very different place than Charlottesville, but I just felt like I was a part of Charlottesville, and I like that. I’ve gotten a lot of messages from people thanking me for being there, reporting...it made me feel like it wasn’t a waste.”

You write articles and you wonder if anyone’s reading them, if anyone cares, Gravely says. And that weekend, she was certain: “People were watching, and reading, and they did care.”

facebook.com/cville.weekly

A short while later, as the marchers neared the amphitheater at the south end of the Lawn, Gravely says she decided to put a little more distance between herself and the white supremacists. “I generally don’t think the worst of people, but I’m black, I’m a woman [and] they’re holding fire,” Gravely says, and so she and her Cavalier Daily comrades walked around the Lawn rooms up to the Rotunda to try and catch the marchers coming over the Rotunda steps for the Facebook Live stream.

Alexis Gravely, senior associate news editor at the Cav Daily, reported on both the white nationalist tiki torch march at UVA Friday, August 11, and the Unite the Right rally/counterprotest the next day.

n Sunday, August 13, third-year University of Virginia student Alexis Gravely woke with the smell of pepper spray and tear gas in her nose.

It wasn’t a total surprise for Gravely, senior associate news editor for the Cavalier Daily, a student newspaper at UVA, who’d spent the entire week before on a rather unexpected beat, covering the city’s preparation—court cases, press conferences and more—for the August 12 Unite the Right rally and eventually the rally itself.

Gravely joined the paper in the first semester of her first year on campus. “I just like knowing things,” she says, and even more than knowing things, she likes sharing what she knows with others.

On Friday, August 11, Gravely was in court, reporting on the arguments in Jason Kessler’s lawsuit against the city for its decision to move the Unite the Right rally from its original location in Emancipation Park to McIntire Park. The ACLU Virginia and the Rutherford Institute represented Kessler.

Arguments wrapped up around 5pm and Gravely headed home to work on a story for the Cavalier Daily website and wait for Judge Glen Conrad’s decision. Around 8:30pm, Cavalier Daily Managing Editor Tim Dodson sent Gravely a text message: They’d received a tip that something was going to happen on Grounds, but they didn’t know what. And with move-in day only a few days away, Gravely wanted students who weren’t yet on Grounds to know what was happening.

“I had a feeling it was going to be something big,” Gravely says, so she grabbed her camera and rushed to meet Dodson at the Rotunda. They spotted a few people carrying unlit tiki torches and followed them to Nameless Field, which was swarming with alt-righters.

But Gravely wasn’t scared. The torches weren’t yet lit when she started a Facebook Live video. Not long after, march organizer Jason Kessler arrived, and Gravely says she started trying to get his replies to other journalists’ questions on the Facebook Live feed. When she turned back around toward the field, the torches were lit and the march had begun.

“We followed them the whole way,” Gravely says, sometimes at close distance. When the white supremacists passed near Newcomb Hall, chanting “you will not replace us,” Gravely says she choked up a little. “It was booming, it was so loud, and there were so many people chanting...but I don’t think I was scared. I was just kind of sad.”

THE UVA ISSUE

Hit the Grounds running Behind the scenes at the launch of a new academic year

By Lisa Martin reporter@c-ville.com

AMY JACKSON

O

n the heels of the tragic events in Charlottesville August 11 and 12, the University of Virginia had to ready itself for another chaotic, but undeniably happier, weekend that began August 18: the arrival of several thousand excited and nervous students for move-in days (see page 29 for their reactions to the anticipated start of classes). And getting the university in shipshape for a new batch of Hoos takes a village.

“Running the operations of the university is sort of like running a small city,” says UVA Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Pat Hogan, who manages all things non-academic on Grounds. Encompassing its own housing and dining facilities, building and landscape maintenance, transportation, police and fire service, utilities, capital projects and a hospital, the entire complex is a microcosm of a functioning town. And when its 22,000 citizens return each August, not in a trickle but in a deluge, UVA has to be prepared.

The Friday and Saturday before classes begin are circled in red on Hogan’s calendar: move-in weekend. “I remember my wife and I dropping my daughter off here in the fall of 2000, and how hard it was for us to leave,” says Hogan. “But the Grounds are beautiful, the community is welcoming, and the students have so much energy—they’re really ready to change the world.”

So what does it take to hit peak readiness for their arrival? Here’s the lowdown on the ramp-up.

UVA Executive Vice President and COO Pat Hogan oversees every aspect of move-in weekend, when 3,800 first-years arrive.

Culinary arts

“We are the first impression,” says Richard Hopkins, landscape superintendent. “Our students arrive at the university and the first thing they see is some piece of landscape, and we need to grab them.” His staff of 79 year-round workers takes care of the grass, shrubs and trees, arranges new plantings and clears away litter, and they carefully manage the cool season fescue growth to be optimal in August.

Hopkins and the staff look forward to the students’ return because that means the end of construction season. “All summer the backhoes and trucks park everywhere on Grounds,” he says, “and we come behind and work to restore and recover the landscaping.” Predicting the habits of students can be challenging as well. “They create shortcuts to their class buildings through the grass. Each year we repair them, and the following year the path will be someplace different.”

For the groundskeepers, the worst-case scenario is a big thunderstorm on the eve of move-in weekend, leading to trampled sod and a muddy mess. “If you’re really focused on keeping it perfect, it’ll drive you crazy,” he says. “You have to step back and say, ‘It’s okay, they’re using the space.’”

“In late August, it’s like we are opening 25 brand-new restaurants, all at the same time, with brand-new guests and a portion of new staff,” says Matt Smythe, director of operations for UVA Dining. More than 600 employees strive to bring interesting, healthful meals to the student population, and the execution requires massive coordination of inventory, preparation and service. “We order paper products and supplies throughout July and August,” says Smythe, “but produce and perishables we bring in as close to when we need them as possible.”

Smythe notes that dining is a unique service because a student might visit a dining hall 20 times in a week. “We see the students more than anybody on Grounds except their roommate, and we want them to enjoy the experience.”

The food service crew keeps abreast of current food trends, and is always experimenting. “Last year, we tried a chickenand-waffle night at O-Hill as a one-off, and it was a tremendous success,” says Smythe, so much so that it became a permanent menu item, complete with weekly variations dreamed up by the culinary staff.

Despite the gale-force ramp-up, Smythe says move-in weekend is his favorite time of the year. “The excitement on Grounds, the anticipation and the nervousness, the pride of the parents—it’s just a great weekend to be part of the university community,” he says.

Upgrading on a curve

Supply and demand “We call it ‘book rush,’” says Cristy Huffman, executive director of the UVA bookstores. The robust online book ordering system that allows students to pre-order textbooks can yield upward of 500 orders per day in the weeks leading up to the start of classes, but the University Bookstore gets them filled in time. The addition of 25 to 30 temporary employees to the regular staff means the bookstore can process orders within 24 hours and have them ready for students to collect on the day they arrive.

Home team Over the course of the two-day move-in weekend, 3,800 first-year students and their families descend upon Grounds, and Residence Life has the process down to a science. “We want to make them feel at home where they live,” says Executive Director of Housing and Residence Life Gay Perez.

Some 250 resident assistants, along with hundreds of returning student volunteers, are dispatched to each of the residence halls to greet, check in and unload the arriving students, ideally in under 15 minutes per carload. Parking and transportation staff direct traffic, technology specialists are on hand to help with computer and network issues, and dining services sets up water stations throughout the residential areas. “It’s really a university showcase event,” says Perez, who notes that new (or newly renovated) residence halls are so carefully pre-checked that opening week glitches are almost nonexistent.

Assistant Dean of Students Andy Petters reiterates the message that parents and students receive at orientation: “We tell them the first thing they should pack in their car, and unload when they arrive, is patience. If they have that, then the rest is just fun.” Parents may have a tough time leaving their son or daughter on Grounds, but Saturday night’s JPJ concert is meant for students to have fun getting to know each other.

“By Sunday afternoon when students go to the Lawn for Convocation, there should be no more parents lurking around behind the shrubs,” says Petters with a smile.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

“Summer is as busy as we get,” says Rollie Zumbrunn, associate director of facilities management for housing. During the summer months, the custodial and maintenance workers have three kinds of work to do in the residence halls. Annual turnover includes deep cleaning such as waxing floors and resetting the rooms so they are ready for new occupants. Minor upgrades might involve changing a room from a lounge to a bedroom or swapping out carpet. And capital projects such as replacing elevators or installing air conditioning are the biggest and take the most time. This summer they’re upgrading dorm access from metal keys to ID cards, which are easier to turn off if lost.

“It’s exciting,” Zumbrunn says. “All of Charlottesville is more alive during the school year. The students bring so much energy.”

“We focus on making the process as easy and stress-free as possible for both students and their parents,” says Huffman. This means setting up tents outside the store stocked with dorm items that students may have forgotten, from fans to surge protectors, and serving as a Q&A hub for families seeking directions or instructions. “The first 10 or 12 days are a huge push, but we get everybody through and make sure they’re happy,” says Huffman. “We get to know the students and watch them grow up while they’re here—it’s very fun for us.”

THE UVA ISSUE

Student voices How do you feel about the start of classes?

I feel really nervous, but also really confident that my classes will be interesting.

I have a lot of faith in the professors here.

Sydney Suarez, first-year from Virginia

A little nervous for sure.

Chris Letai, first-year from Texas

I’m feeling pretty good. I’m pretty excited. I don’t know where everything is, but I’m excited to take classes about things that matter.

Anxious! I’ve never been to a college class before.

Sally, first-year from Georgia

Salem Zelalem, first-year from Virginia

Right now, it’s a lot of talking to people in your hall, so I’m excited to talk about things in classes that excite me.

Kim Salac, first-year from Virginia

I feel like I’m gonna get lost.

Excited. My classes sound interesting and my professors are really accomplished.

Katie McCracken, first-year from Virginia

Ari, first-year from Georgia

Hopeful that things will calm down. It’s been busy with orientation, so I’m excited for things to get routine.

Oh, you know. Nervous, but it’s another year. Also pissed off. But excited, and hopeful despite everything.

There’s a lot to be done.

Nicole, first-year from Florida

Wes Orton, third-year from Utah

Pretty good. I’m looking forward to getting back on a schedule. And it’s nice to see students buzzing around Grounds again.

Robert Andrews Andrews explains that conservatism is a movement in favor of “limited government, freedom, equality and opportunity.

We want to live in a place where everybody has the ability to prosper.” The group as a whole, with more than 200 members and about 40 active members,

is a more moderate Republican organization, but there are certainly hard-notch conservatives and true centrists among them, as well as libertarian conservatives (like Andrews, himself).

Andrews, who wasn’t in Charlottesville last weekend because he hadn’t moved back to Grounds yet, says that Kessler has “caused problems” for the College Republicans at UVA “because we’re not okay with what he’s doing, with his group.” Andrews says that last year, Kessler tried to talk to the executive committee (Andrews was not on the committee at the time) to inform the club about his group, Unity and Security for America. But when the group didn’t support Kessler’s views and alt-right connections, Kessler called “[us] a bunch of ‘cuckservatives’ and posted a picture of himself flicking us off on Facebook,” Andrews says.

On Wednesday, August 16, a group of students from activist groups across campus, including some who were present at the Jefferson statue the previous Friday, met with UVA Dean of Students Allen Groves to express their gratitude for seeing him at the Rotunda on Friday, and to share their concerns over administrative inaction that night. The students asked questions about what the administration knew of the march, when it knew it and why students were not notified about the march by the university. They also asked about university police involvement, and they shared a list of demands: ■ Ban white supremacist hate groups from UVA’s Grounds.

■ Denounce alt-right leaders and UVA alumni Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler; ban them from Grounds and revoke their degrees.

■ All Confederate and colonizer monuments and plaques on and around Grounds must be removed. An appropriate place would be in a museum or in special collections.

■ Acknowledge the $1,000 gift for the University’s Centennial Fund received from the KKK in 1921 and include it in education surrounding the bicentennial.

■ The statue of Jefferson clearly serves as an emblem of white supremacy. We need it to be balanced with more acknowledgment and education on the university’s history of white supremacy. All students, regardless of area of study, should have required education on white supremacy, colonization and slavery as they directly relate to Thomas Jefferson, the university and the city of Charlottesville. The new requirements do not adequately educate incoming students on this institution’s history, and only apply to the College of Arts & Sciences. Some students who took action on Friday night would also like the statue removed.

■ Former KKK leader David Duke and altright leader Richard Spencer both stayed at the Boar’s Head Inn, a UVA hotel, this past weekend. Those profits, and more, should be redirected to cover the medical expenses of students harmed during this weekend’s terror.

Many of these actions would have legal consequences and require much thought before action, Groves told students during the meeting. In an audio recording of the meeting that was posted online, students are audibly understanding but frustrated, and some say they do not feel safe on Grounds going forward.

“I will remain in touch with them as they may need,” Groves told C-VILLE two days after the meeting, adding that he is “one of many university staff meeting to assess and evaluate any changes in protocol or practice that may be needed moving forward when faced with what we experienced last weekend.” For the time being, as classes start up this week, student groups are organizing community conversations on Grounds to talk among themselves and with administrators about where to go from here.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

It really bothers Robert Andrews, secretary of the College Republicans at UVA, that members of self-described alt-right groups are masquerading as conservatives. “If you stand for liberty [as many conservatives do], how can you stand for racism and inequality?”

Andrews asks.

On Friday, August 11, at about 5:30pm, the College Republicans at UVA executive board issued a statement condemning the Unite the Right rally and the “so-called ‘conservatives’” who had organized and were planning to attend.

“When these ideologies attempt to use the conservative movement, our movement, to legitimize these vile concepts, our organization will do everything in our power to reject them,” the group wrote of the white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups “who are in favor of apartheid and other heinous ideologies.”

T

he Lockn’ Festival returns to Arrington this week, bringing four days of music to Infinity Downs Farm from Thursday through Sunday. The jam-friendly festival is largely returning to its foundational roots, with headlining slots featuring Bob Weir and Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, The String Cheese Incident and Gov’t Mule, which will perform a special collaborative set with Ann Wilson of Heart (see page 39). Looking deeper, the festival’s roster has plenty of new faces—bands from a range of genres that will bring touches of bluegrass, country, folk and blues to the big improvisational rock party.

Here are five acts appearing at Lockn’ for the first time.

The Avett Brothers It was a bit of a surprise that The Avett Brothers decided to forgo their near-annual sellout at the Sprint Pavilion in favor of a set at the jam-centric Lockn’. But the high-energy outfit, led by brothers Scott and Seth Avett, has demonstrated an affinity for the Grateful Dead. Notably, last fall the group joined guitarist Warren Haynes to play a full show of Jerry Garcia tunes at an arena in northern Virginia. At Lockn’ the band will also likely play the Dead, as its Sunday headlining set will feature a guest appearance by Bob Weir.

Since forming in the early 2000s, the group has expanded from a primal acoustic trio, known for heartfelt, ragged harmonies, into a seven-piece folk-rock machine that has headlined huge rooms, including Madison Square Garden. The Avetts have stated in recent interviews that they’re currently working on a follow-up to last year’s Rick Rubin-produced, Grammy-nominated album True Sadness.

Marcus King Band At just 21 years old, blues-rock wunderkind Marcus King has already hit enough musical milestones to make most veteran players jealous. Last year’s eponymous debut by his Marcus King Band was produced by Warren Haynes and features a guitar assist from Derek Trucks. This past Saturday, King and his crew opened for Haynes’ band, Gov’t Mule, at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The weekend prior at the Peach Music Festival in Pennsylvania, King participated in an all-star tribute to Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks, two founding members of the Allman Brothers Band who both passed away earlier this year.

At a time when many Allman Brothers fans are feeling a void, King, who plays the Blue Ridge Bowl stage at Lockn’ on Friday, is a refreshing new face. As the son of a South Carolina blues man, the young musician has fierce guitar chops and a husky, soulful voice—talents he uses to lead his band through a mix of experimental R&B, Southern rock grooves and country porch songs.

Margo Price Margo Price (right) turned heads in 2016 with the stunning debut Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, which blended reverence for vintage country with hearty, soulful grit.

A longtime working-class singer-songwriter in Nashville, Price’s solo debut, full of intensely honest songs like the standout single “Hands of Time,” was released on Jack White’s Third Man Records and soon after catapulted her on stage with the likes of Kris Kristofferson and John Prine.

Ahead of her highly anticipated next record, Price dropped a surprise EP, Weakness, last month. The new effort offers a nice sample of Price’s honeyed voice moving between lonesome ballads, old-school honky-tonk and rowdy rockabilly. In between tour dates with Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson, she’ll perform with her band on the Lockn’ main stage on Sunday.

The Record Company

Margo Price

The Record Company Fast success has been found by this Los Angeles-based power trio (pictured above) that delivers full-throttle blues-rock. Lean-andmean arrangements propel the songs on the band’s 2016 debut, Give It Back to You, which notched a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album. At times, the group channels the minimalist thunder of recent predecessors The White Stripes and The Black Keys, but lead singer-guitarist Chris Vos occasionally dips into a clean falsetto that gives songs like “Off the Ground” an R&B-pop heart. After a recent stretch opening for John Mayer, the band leads off the main stage lineup on Sunday.

Greensky Bluegrass This year the Lockn’ lineup is a little light on the acoustic side of the jam scene, so anyone seeking a bluegrass fix should catch the Saturday set by this adventurous quintet. Now into its second decade, the Michigan-formed group uses nimble string picking to embark on psychedelic tangents, but that’s only part of the band’s musical equation. The group’s de facto frontman, mandolin player Paul Hoffman, sings like a wise and weathered troubadour and has a knack for writing insightful lyrics. Both anchor the impressive roots-based songs on the band’s latest album, last year’s Shouted, Written Down & Quoted, which was produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. Beyond originals, the band likes to showcase an impressive array of covers in the live setting, offering inventive, acoustic takes on tunes by Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd, among many others.

nn Wilson has been pushing boundaries since the release of Heart’s debut album, Dreamboat Annie, in 1976. Wilson joined the band in the early ’70s at the age of 22, and her younger sister, Nancy, soon followed suit. Between Nancy’s guitar virtuosity and Wilson’s killer vocals, the two changed the face of music, reframing preconceived notions of who and what rock stars could be. Songs like the opening track on Dreamboat Annie, “Magic Man”—which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart—marked a significant shift in rock lyricism to the female perspective. By channeling her lived experience through songwriting, Wilson echoed the feelings and experiences of a wider array of

We bought a Coach and customized it to live in, and we’re driving to all the shows and then after the show we go and camp and spend the night out in the woods somewhere and wake up and have our coffee in the woods and then go to the next show. And so I’m getting a lot of inspiration now from being outside and being among folks. When you do it the other way, big hotels and planes and all that kind of stuff, you live in a bubble and it’s harder to get ideas.”

“I think that artists should be participants,” says Wilson. “They shouldn’t sit back and worry that they’re gonna piss fans off or piss listeners off. They should always serve as a gentle reminder or as a loud voice to always keep it in the front of people’s minds what’s going on—or at least ask them to listen. To agitate, agitate, agitate is the role of what music can do. You have a bully pulpit.”

Wilson has also been performing a batch of new songs. Although she’s been making music for more than 40 years, she finds no shortage of inspiration.

female listeners, solidifying her place as a pioneer in a male-dominated industry.

“When I first started out in music, I was answering a call to be a musician,“ says Wilson. “I was raised by a mother who just said, ‘Well, you can do whatever you want, why not?’ So I really took that to heart. I never once stood away and looked in at myself and said, ‘Oh, you’re a pioneer.’ I was just looking from the inside out and went, ‘I’m doing this!’ But the net effect is that younger people or women or whoever have watched me and others and gone, ‘Well, yeah, if she can do it, I can do it.”

While women have come a long way in the industry—in no small part because of Wilson—they still have a ways to go.

“I think that the glass ceiling still exists; it’s just a matter of knowing where it is,” Wilson says. “I think it tends to raise up and up and up. You bust through it and then you find that it’s gotten a little higher, so you have to keep going. I think that young women today probably are working with a lot of the same issues that women of my generation were.”

One noticeable change in the industry came with the advancement of technology.

When Wilson got her start, she had to earn her chops, replicating whatever she sang in the studio on stage. Now, singers have a plethora of tools at their disposal when recording.

“The Auto-Tune thing is, I think, the enemy of singers,” she says. “For one thing, when you tune all the imperfections out of the human voice, it sounds totally anonymous and you just start hearing all these voices that sound robotic and don’t have any identity. And so much of the soul is taken out. So much of those little imperfections, those little inflections that are all about storytelling that really make you feel the emotion are all gone. It’s just completely sanitized. ...But having said that, if you do a fantastic performance in the studio and there’s one little glitch where you just sound like hell for one note, I’m not above just tuning it slightly to make it not hurt your ears if the whole rest of the thing is beautiful. I just don’t like it when they take mediocrity and try to make it sound good.”

Wilson is in the middle of a solo tour, billed as the Ann Wilson of Heart tour, and will make a pit stop at Infinity Downs Farm to sit in with Gov’t Mule during its set at the Lockn’ Festival. While she and Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes are still working out the setlist, she’s spent this tour performing Heart hits along with a selection of songs by the likes of Peter Gabriel, The Black Crowes and Jimi Hendrix. When narrowing down the covers, she says she picked songs that she not only loves, but that have a message still relevant today. She believes music should provide a commentary on the state of the world.

At Lockn’ on Thursday, Nicole Atkins performs songs of heartbreak and resilience.

Rising from rock bottom Nicole Atkins finds a new muse in Rhonda Lee

ike many creatives, psychedelic indie rock songstress Nicole Atkins had to hit rock bottom to rise to a reawakened level of musicianship. Not only did she move from her longtime home along the Jersey Shore to Nashville, Tennessee, but she faced writer’s block, alcoholism and she literally fell into a sinkhole.

Atkins, who will perform at the Lockn’ Festival on Thursday, soared into her music career, debuting with 2007’s Neptune City, followed by 2011’s Mondo Amore and 2014’s Slow Phaser. Her newest album, Goodnight Rhonda Lee, was released on July 21 and is her most transparent album to date, as it exposes her personal problems.

“I come from a long line of high-functioning alcoholics and it doesn’t really suit me emotionally,” says Atkins. “So, I did a lot of hard work to get rid of that need to feel like I need to drink in order to have fun or be myself.”

On songs like “Rhonda Lee,” “Colors” and “A Night of Serious Drinking,” Atkins confronts her battle with alcohol abuse. The name Rhonda Lee started out as a bowling alias that Atkins used, but later it turned into the name of her drunken persona.

“I was really nervous telling people and the press what these songs are about, but I can’t say it any other way, because that’s what they are about,” says Atkins. “The cool thing about talking about it is that I get to talk about the good things that came from it and how my mind has free space to think about music and arrangements, and to make music for other people.”

Last summer during a weekend at Bonnaroo, Atkins realized she’d overcome her addiction. During the long weekend with friends she didn’t crave a single drop of alcohol. “That’s when I knew ‘Okay cool,

I can still have fun doing the things I love,’” she says. “I love being in bars and I have to be in bars for work and I love going to festivals and I love live music.”

Acclimating to her new life in Tennessee was also a challenge.

“The first year was really hard because it was a big adjustment, she says. “I grew up on the Jersey Shore and lived in New York for a long time, so landscape-wise it was a big adjustment—not being by the beach and having to drive everywhere. Also having a husband that’s a tour manager and friends that are working musicians, I was home in a new town by myself.”

One night after a gig in Knoxville, Atkins fell into a 10-foot sinkhole in a parking lot.

After a trip to the hospital she returned to Nashville feeling uneasy about who to ask for help—her family was far away and her husband was out of town.

“When word got out about what happened, I never had more people coming by and checking on me and taking me to the doctor and bringing me food,” says Atkins.

“They just showed me so much love and care. I hit rock bottom literally, but something really good came out of something really shitty.”

On Goodnight Rhonda Lee, Atkins delves into the isolation she felt in her early stages of that relocation, as well as depression and failing relationships.

The album’s first single, “A Little Crazy,” co-written with Chris Isaak, is a heartbreaking ballad exposing deep regrets that Atkins channels through her cavernous vocal chords.

“With this album I just kept thinking about what musical genres sum up who I am, what I listen to and what I can physically do best, and it was Roy Orbison, Lee Hazelwood and Aretha Franklin,” says Atkins.

“I really focused and honed in on those kinds of sounds because I feel like the combination of those sounds is who I am.”

A quick chat with Phil Lesh Grateful Dead bassist talks Lockn’ return and missing Jerry

By Jedd Ferris arts@c-ville.com

A

C-VILLE: You’re mostly off the road, but you never miss a Lockn’. What keeps you coming back?

Phil Lesh: Essentially, it’s the combinations of artists that [Lockn’ promoter] Pete [Shapiro] puts together for the festival. He has a knack for that sort of thing, and it’s always stimulating to play with different people. The set with moe. was Pete’s idea. [moe. guitarist] Al [Schnier] has sat in with my bands, so this will flip the coin and give me a chance to play with them. For me, that’s a welcome opportunity.

You’re performing Terrapin Station with Bob Weir to honor the album’s 40th anniversary. What do you remember about recording the album?

The studio is always a blur; same old, same old, day in, day out. There’s nothing that really stands out.

The Terrapin Family Band has become your main outlet. How has that band developed in the past few years?

It’s basically made up of the stable of young musicians that we have at Terrapin Crossroads. That’s where I’ve been focusing my energy for the last five years, and this band grew out of that. I chose the most compatible musicians from that community to form this band, including my son Grahame and one of our cousins, Alex Kofford. We play really well together, and as we’ve been able to play more often, we’ve created some really great chemistry.

PUBLICITY PHOTO

Phil Lesh will get the crowd “Dancin’ in the Streets” when he unites with Bob Weir for a complete offering of the Grateful Dead’s Terrapin Station on Friday at Lockn’.

We’re speaking on the 22nd anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s death. Did you have a specific thought about him today?

Just the same thought I have everyday: “Damn, I miss this guy.”

facebook.com/cville.weekly

As an innovator on the bass, is there another bassist that you particularly admire?

I love Jack Casady’s playing. Jack Bruce was a gas. Then, of course, there’s [Charles] Mingus. There are many that definitely inspire me.

@artscville

You mentioned Terrapin Crossroads.

How do you feel the space is moving the Grateful Dead’s music forward?

It’s developed beyond my wildest dreams.

My favorite part is playing for free in the park on a summer afternoon. Right up there, too, is reading stories and singing songs for kids on Sundays.

August 23 – 29, 2017 c-ville.com

t 77, Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh is mostly done touring, but that doesn’t mean he’s done playing music. Besides some semi-regular gigs in and around New York City, Lesh can mostly be found these days on stage at Terrapin Crossroads, the Dead-themed club he opened in 2012 near his home in Marin County, California. Fortunately, for Deadheads in Virginia and surrounding states, Lesh never misses the Lockn’ Festival. In fact, in the last four years he’s been a part of some of the event’s most interesting collaborations. Last year he went acoustic and played Dead songs with bluegrass aces The Infamous Stringdusters and members of Phish, and in 2015 he put together a special lineup of his Phil Lesh and Friends that included Carlos Santana.

Lesh returns to Lockn’ this weekend, where he’ll play two sets on Friday with his Terrapin Family Band. The second will reunite the bassist with his former bandmate Bob Weir, who joins the group to play the Dead’s 1977 album, Terrapin Station, in its entirety. Lesh will also join upstate

New York jam band moe. for a collaborative set on Sunday. Ahead of the festival, Lesh took a quick call from C-VILLE Weekly.

n August 12, when hundreds of outsiders gathered here for the Unite the Right rally, ostensibly to protest the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue, our city suffered terrible loss.

Just a few blocks away from the destruction, Black Lives Matter held an Art in Action event at Champion Brewing Company. Organizer Leslie Scott-Jones says it was “for people who didn’t want to march and stand, but people who wanted to stand in a different way.” The idea was to open the stage and engage residents in the positive experience of creativity. A large sheet of paper covered one table where children could draw. Musician David Tewksbury performed, as well as Keith Morris, among other singers, musicians and poets. ScottJones laughs as she remembers the moment two little girls asked to dance on the stage, the improvised sound system consisting of a mic pressed up to their parents’ phone while their chosen song played.

Scott-Jones says that art has a huge role to play in combating white supremacy.

“There is nothing that can move people the way that art can. ...It is supposed to tell the absolute truth,” she says. “It is supposed to show someone a perspective of life that they could never have, to promote understanding. And that has always been art’s role.” Scott-Jones says, for black artists especially, art can be an avenue for activism.

The problem, then, with the Lee statue is that it does not tell the absolute truth, “because it is ‘art,’” Scott-Jones says, making air quotes with her hands. “I don’t know if it should be destroyed. I think it should be put into some sort of museum that can put it in its proper place in history. Because I think the mistake that we make is putting our Founding Fathers up on a pedestal as if they weren’t fallible human beings.”

We do owe a lot to them, she adds, because “they created this country, they created a series of laws that still governs us today. But they were also slave owners. They also were rapists. They also killed people.

And I’m not talking about war. They stole land from indigenous people. They were fallible. They were whole human beings, and to deny all parts of them is the whitewashing of history. And that’s why we have this problem. Because we haven’t been telling the whole truth.”

Scott-Jones is still processing what happened on August 12. She describes the uncertainty of walking among white people without knowing their intentions. “That’s a kind of terror that is indescribable and it’s not something that goes away just because those people left town,” she says. “Because as all of Charlottesville knows now—I don’t think the black community was under any illusions about it—not all of them were from out of town. So, yeah, it has changed the way I think about my home.”

As for moving forward, Scott-Jones says, “If you are righteously appalled at what took place in our town, then use your anger to fight against it. It doesn’t have to be you standing in a protest screaming at a white supremacist. ...It can be something as simple as hearing someone make a racist or homophobic or misogynistic remark and not allowing that to happen in front of you, just stopping that person and saying, ‘Whoa, whoa, that’s not okay. We don’t do that here.’”

Scott-Jones also suggests donating your time, or “your talent, your treasure to organizations that are doing this work. ...

There are things you can do that don’t involve you putting your body on the line. ...And I think people get daunted by not knowing, or not knowing who to ask what those things are. But not asking that question and not acting on that is no longer an option.”

The crime drama Wind River, starring Jeremy Renner, boldly portrays hardships faced by residents of Native American reservations.

By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com

The ways writer-director Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water) subverts convention makes Wind River a more effective societal statement than the horrors of its narrative might have been treated in different hands.

As mentioned above, this is not a mystery.

We are not meant to wonder which of the main leads actually committed the crime.

Until those questions are answered, the real perpetrators are shown as society and unconfronted history; there is one confrontation between three armed groups that debate who has legal authority. The plot does indeed cen-

ter primarily on two white outsiders, but while Jane is new to the terrain and legal loopholes of this specific circumstance, she is not the neophyte whose innocence becomes tarnished during the investigation. One might view Cory as the white man “gone native” in the vein of Dances with Wolves, an unfortunate white savior motif we have yet to fully part with, but his presence is counterbalanced with that of private contractors, showing that de facto colonization has persisted.

Wind River is a near flawless procedural that, while at times brutal, is never exploitative or manipulative of its subject or its audience’s sympathies.

www.roversrecess.com

August 23 – 29, 2017 c-ville.com

ot a single aspect of Wind River is easy to endure, but every shot, frame, line of dialogue, standoff and underlying theme is indispensable. The film turns every convention on its head in a plot involving a murder on a Native American reservation—the investigation is not depicted as a mystery, but implores both its characters and the audience to simply follow the tracks to their true origin, no matter how uncomfortable or unsatisfying it may be. This approach both respects the heavy subject matter by avoiding salacious twists, and provides a trenchant historical metaphor about the history of colonialism, racism and valuing the colonizers’ convenience over the lives of those uprooted.

Wind River tells the story of the investigation into the rape and murder of a young woman (Julia Jones) on the Wind River Indian Reservation after a tracker for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Jeremy Renner) discovers her body frozen in the snow.

He notifies Tribal Police Chief Ben (Graham Greene), who brings in FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen). It gets tricky as to what crime falls under the auspices of which agency, so all three attempt to use the limited resources of the local police and navigate the narrow jurisdictional parameters afforded to each.

Wilma, the victim, was running away from something at the time of her death, and was killed by sub-zero temperatures.

As such, the cause of death cannot be ruled homicide, even as it is clear from her bare feet that she was fleeing for her life. This creates logistical roadblocks for the team, who must follow procedure—the FBI cannot take over if the death is not ruled a homicide, while the Tribal Police are woefully understaffed and underfunded. This leaves Cory Lambert (Renner) to navigate both the tracks and the rocky terrain of legal propriety in pursuit of justice.

Along the way, we meet the people of the reservation whose lives have been affected by the isolation, lack of attention and the long-term consequences of forced relocation. Wind River is tormented by drugs, poverty, despair and an increasing disconnect between the supposed political rights afforded by the United States and the reality of living within the American borders but not being afforded the same resources. The arrival of Agent Banner ought to be a blessing—an experienced and knowledgeable officer of the law with the powers of the federal government—but one bureaucratic obstacle and she is legally powerless. Ben has become accustomed to this treatment, while the tragic loss of Cory’s daughter in similar circumstances makes him feel less beholden to regulation.

Highlights from last year and a look ahead in the world of UVA sports Position: Linebackers; because of UVA’s depleted depth, it’s likely some of them will see playing time Status: True freshmen

U

Men’s basketball

MATT RILEY

VA sports saw some big successes last year: The men’s tennis team claimed the NCAA trophy, alongside Thai-Son Kwiatkowski’s singles championship. And Malcolm Brogdon, men’s basketball alum, was named the NBA Rookie of the Year. Drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the 2016 draft, Brogdon defied the odds and became the first second-round pick to earn the award.

But UVA teams had some disappointments too, with Bronco Mendenhall’s less-thanstellar first football season, and the men’s basketball team’s second-round departure from the NCAA tournament. The good news? UVA has added some promising players-to-watch, including a quarterback heir apparent and an undefeated high school tennis player.

Football

1,500 yards rushing and receiving in his career.

He rushed for 940 yards in 2016 alone. Although these accolades weren’t enough to get him drafted, making 2017 the first year in three decades that UVA didn’t send a football player to the NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens signed him as a free agent this summer.

Players to watch: Lindell Stone 6'2", 205 pounds Position: Backup QB (to starter Kurt Benkert, fifth-year senior, making Stone UVA’s potential heir apparent) Status: True freshman (from Virginia’s Woodberry Forest School) Matt Gahm, Charles Snowden and Zane Zandier

NONPROFIT

@eatdrinkcville

Mendenhall brought six assistant coaches with him from BYU, introducing new blood to everything from the offensive coordinator to quarterback coach. But the staff overhaul wasn’t enough to give UVA the winning season it’s been looking for since 2011. And with many starters graduating, especially on the offense, 2017 looks like it might be yet another year to rebuild and regroup.

UVA’s first three games this year are home games, which is good news for the beleaguered program. The season home opener is against William & Mary, which puts some pressure on the team—a home game against the Tribe is very nearly a must-win—but if the Hoos can put together three wins to start off the season against manageable opponents (William & Mary, Indiana and Connecticut) then they will improve their 2016 win total.

Season highlight: Tailback Taquan Mizzell made ACC history in his final year with the Hoos, becoming the first player to record

August 23 – 29, 2017 c-ville.com

Bronco Mendenhall probably envisioned his first season at UVA ending a little differently, while, across the field, Virginia Tech players celebrated. Their quarterback got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend.

She said yes, of course. Why wouldn’t she?

He’d just rushed for 105 yards, making it twice into the end zone against Tech’s favorite rival to beat.

The scoreboard read 52-10, a demoralizing defeat that marked Virginia’s seventh straight loss in a 2-10 season, the team’s worst record since 2013, and Mendenhall’s lowest since he began coaching at Brigham Young in 2005.

“I have a base philosophy, and that is a team plays the way they are prepared,” said Mendenhall in a post-game interview. “I’m responsible for how they prepared, and I’m responsible for how they execute. And clearly what the outcome today showed is that I didn’t prepare them well enough.”

Will UVA produce another sports standout this year, like current NBA Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon?

In the 60-plus years since the Atlantic Coast Conference’s creation, no team has managed to hold its opponents to under 40 points for three games in a row—that is, until the 2017 Virginia men’s basketball team. They did it with three straight wins against St. Francis, Yale and Grambling State. It was a testament to the nationally ranked defense that helped them go 23-11 (and 11-7 in the ACC) on the season.

Unfortunately, what goes around comes around, and Virginia itself was held to under 40 points in the game that eliminated the Hoos in the second round of the NCAA tournament. For a team that only two years ago was back-to-back ACC regular season champs, it was a disappointing end to a successful year, especially for star senior London Perrantes.

The Cavs also lost three key players—Marial Shayok, Jarred Reuter and Darius Thompson—who all decided to transfer to other colleges following the 2016-17 season.

Alum spotlight: In his five years at UVA, Malcolm Brogdon earned a master’s in public policy from the Batten School and the ACC Player of the Year award. Now, with his No. 15 jersey retired and hanging from the rafters at JPJ, Brogdon has collected perhaps the highest honor of his career: NBA Rookie of the Year.

He’s the lowest-ranked draft pick to win the award since 1958. Brogdon was selected after a spectacular first season with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he started in 28 games with an average of 10.2 points per game.

LIVING Women’s soccer

Status: Starting sophomore after a redshirt freshman year

The Virginia women’s soccer team didn’t just begin 2016 with seven straight wins; it began it with seven straight shutouts.

In fact, the team held its opponents to nil in its first 10 wins (the Hoos went 15-5-2 on the season). The women outshot the other teams by huge margins, averaging 2.36 goals per game, while their opponents hovered at 0.82. Virginia’s shot accuracy was actually lower on average than its opponents, but the sheer bombardment of scoring attempts (395 total for Virginia, 125 for the other teams) led the Cavs to a winning season. They finished the regular season with a record of 15-5-2, and 6-2-2 within their conference.

Marco Anthony 6'6", 11.7 points/game in 2016 Position: Combo guard Status: True freshman (from Holmes High School, Texas)

Women’s basketball The last game of the Virginia women’s basketball team’s season was a nail-biter. In a back-and-forth match that had everything you could ask for in a game—a dozen ricocheting lead changes, tie score after tie score—the Notre Dame Fighting Irish finally pulled ahead in the third quarter, eventually eliminating Virginia from the ACC tournament and ending a 20-13 season (7-9 in the ACC).

Alum spotlight: “Success will not come easy, but it will come,” Dawn Staley promised UVA graduates in her 2009 valedictory address. And for Staley, come it did. Before she graduated from UVA in 1992, she was the ACC Rookie of the Year and a key component in her team’s three Final Four appearances, although she never actually won an NCAA championship. Two and a half decades later, she finally hoisted the trophy as coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks, the 2017 NCAA champions.

Men’s lacrosse Lars Tiffany’s first season as UVA’s lacrosse coach probably wasn’t all he hoped for (Hall of Famer Dom Starsia’s contract was not renewed last year after 24 seasons at the university). In 2016, Tiffany guided his team at Brown to a 16-3 season. In 2017, Virginia only managed 8-7, dropping his win percentage from 0.842 to a less inspiring 0.533; the Cavs lost all four conference games. UVA hasn’t won a conference game since 2013-14, when it went 1-3 in the ACC. In the final loss of the 2017 season, an ACC showcase game, the Cavaliers ran into a problem that had plagued

year tenure at UVA. The dust from engraving Virginia’s name into its third straight championship trophy had barely settled before UVA named Andres Pedroso, former associate coach, as the new head coach.

Season highlight: Less than a week after his team hoisted the NCAA championship trophy, Thai-Son Kwiatkowski beat out North Carolina freshman prodigy William Blumberg to claim the title of NCAA Men’s Singles champion. For Kwiatkowski, the championship is a cap on his senior year after he went 33-7 in singles matches.

Rebecca White, UVA’s director of transportation, still lists a chance meeting of UVA baseball pitcher Nathan Kirby as one of her top moments.

professional sports, everything seems so predetermined. In college sports anything can happen at any moment.”

From encounters on buses to running into players in airports (“Akil Mitchell!” White once yelled in the Charlotte airport; Mitchell, looming above the rest of the crowd at 6’8”, turned and waved), White has met her share of UVA players and staff. On her desk, a baseball signed by coach Brian O’Connor sits next to a framed photo of White and her husband posing with basketball coach Tony Bennett.

“All these people that play and coach, they are so passionate about what they’re doing, and they’re so smart,” says White. Win or lose, sports have been one of bright points of her time at UVA, from being an undergrad cheering on her classmates to becoming the transportation department director, who makes sure the football team gets home safely from the airport. And she intends to grow her UVA sports knowledge: She’s already a fan of football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, wrestling and lacrosse, and says she’s adding field hockey, volleyball, diving, women’s rowing, squash, track and softball to her list.

And White follows the careers of UVA’s stars even after they move on from the university.

“I can’t wait until Malcolm Brogdon turns 35,” White says, “so I can finally write him in as president for the rest of my life.”—Julia Stumbaugh

August 23 – 29, 2017 c-ville.com

UVA sports’ biggest fan has you beat When riding a UVA bus, you tend to see quite a few student-athletes. One day, while on a bus heading toward the John Paul Jones Arena, UVA Director of Transportation Rebecca White turned around and asked the two men sitting behind her, “Are you guys athletes?” They said yes, so she asked what sport they played.

“Well, ma’am, I play baseball,” said one of the players.

“Oh, what’s your name?”

“My name is Nathan Kirby,” he said.

“Dude!” White blurted out. “You are gonna be our Friday night starter!”

A dedicated UVA sports fan for decades, White, a member of the class of ’84, has attended quite a few momentous games. She was there to see the basketball team give “a big Wahoo welcome” to networks on one of the team’s first nationally televised games, where Ralph Sampson scored 35 points. She was there for the last game at UHall and the first game at the JPJ. She was there in Durham, North Carolina, when the baseball team won the ACC tournament in 2011.

But her favorite memory of all might be when she listened on the radio as UVA won the College World Series. She was shaking with nerves and excitement as Kirby, the same player she met by chance on the bus, pitched the last three outs that won Virginia its first national championship.

White loves college sports because they’re so unpredictable. “Anything could happen,” she says. “In

Remembering Romaine Brooks

Burnt-end brisket, smoked baked beans, pulled chicken and baby back ribs are only a few dishes from The Wolf’s Fixins Barbecue, a new Ruckersville restaurant from owner and pitmaster Keith Simmons, that’s set to open later this month.

“The name is a spin-off of The Big Bad Wolf and Three Little Pigs,” Simmons says.

“I guess I’m the wolf.”

Simmons began barbecuing six and a half years ago as a hobby. He developed everything from scratch—sauces, dry rubs and sides—and says he now has his method down to a science.

The menu is a collection of classics like pulled pork butt as well as specials such as smoked meat tacos and finished-to-order, reverse-smoked steaks. Brisket, sausage and hand-crafted burgers are also available.

“I’ve started this from nothing and watched it grow and turn into what it has,” Simmons says. “We can’t thank our families, friends and our community enough for all of the support.”

NATALIE JACOBSEN

Beloved Whiskey Jar bartender Romaine Brooks passed away August 10, and his friends and family remember him as patient, passionate and kind. His step-brother, Pierre Rico Brooks, says he was a natural leader.

“He was serious a lot of the time on the outside, but he had the biggest heart, and he

he Corner has a new addition in time for the start of the school year. Corner Juice Bar at 1509 University Avenue offers cold-pressed organic juices, fruit smoothies, acai bowls and paninis. Co-owner Joseph Linzon (who also co-owns Roots Natural Kitchen) says the business is filling the need for fast, affordable food for students.

“We’re trying to make healthy food a sustainable part of your lifestyle,” Linzon says, adding that Corner Juice Bar is a different concept from The Juice Laundry down the street—a yoga studio is slated to open September 1 in its basement.

“What we’re trying to create here is not just a restaurant, but a wellness brand,” he says.

Thirteen deliveries of fresh, local organic produce come in each week, and the juice is made every morning (Linzon says he’s been fine-tuning recipes over the last year and a half). Whatever doesn’t sell after two days of bottling is donated to local organizations. The juice is also sold at Hot Yoga Charlottesville, and Linzon hopes to sell it at more local businesses.

Juice prices range from $4 to $7, and smoothies cost $8, but Linzon hopes to eventually cut that price in half.

would do anything for anyone without hesitation,” Pierre says. “He will always be my big brother, a great son, a great dad, a great husband, a great friend and who could forget, the world’s greatest grandfather.”

Rachel Pennington, The Whiskey Jar baker and owner of The Pie Chest, had a special friendship with Romaine, and watched him move up from dishwasher to bartender. “He kept to himself until he finally started to open up and we all got to see what a unique, kind, gracious and beautiful person he was,” Pennington says. “My interactions with Romaine create a composite of having a friendship and connection with someone that gave me unconditional support, encouragement and acceptance.”

By Rob Brezsny

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Psychologist James Hansell stated his opinion of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “He was wrong about so many things.

But he was wrong in such interesting ways.

He pioneered a whole new way of looking at things.” That description should provide good raw material for you to consider as you play with your approach to life in the coming weeks, Libra. Being right won’t be half as important as being willing to gaze at the world from upside-down, inside-out perspectives. So I urge you to put the emphasis on formulating experimental hypotheses, not on proving definitive theories. Be willing to ask naive questions and make educated guesses and escape your own certainties.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be likely to receive gifts at a higher rate than usual.

Some gifts could be big, complex and catalytic, though others may be subtle, cryptic or even covert. While some may be useful, others could be problematic. So I want to make sure you know how important it is to be discerning about these offerings. You probably shouldn’t blindly accept all of them. For instance, don’t rashly accept a “blessing” that would obligate you to someone in ways that feel uncomfortable.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are currently under the influence of astrological conditions that have led to dramatic boosts of self-esteem in laboratory rats. To test the theory that this experimental evidence can be applied to humans, I authorize you to act like a charismatic egomaniac in the coming weeks. Just kidding! I lied about the lab rats. And I lied about you having the authorization to act like an egomaniac. But here are the true facts: The astrological omens suggest you can and should be a lyrical swaggerer and a sensitive swashbuckler.

Capricorn

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What I wish for you is a toasty coolness. I pray that you will claim a messy gift. I want you to experience an empowering surrender and a calming climax. I very much hope, Virgo, that you will finally see an obvious secret and capitalize on some unruly wisdom and take an epic trip to an intimate turning point. I trust that you’ll find a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

These wonders may sound paradoxical, and yet they’re quite possible and exactly what you need.

need to accomplish will come from waging an intense crusade of peace, love and understanding. The bickering and grappling stuff won’t help you achieve success even a little —and would probably undermine it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stockbrokers in Pakistan grew desperate when the Karachi Stock Exchange went into a tailspin. In an effort to reverse the negative trend, they performed a ritual sacrifice of 10 goats in a parking lot.

But their “magic” failed. Stocks continued to fade. Much later they recovered, but not in a timely manner that would suggest the sacrifice worked. I urge you to avoid their approach to fixing problems, especially now.

Reliance on superstition and wishful thinking is guaranteed to keep you stuck. On the other hand, I’m happy to inform you that the coming weeks will be a highly favorable time to use disciplined research and rigorous logic to solve dilemmas.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming days, maybe you could work some lines from the biblical “Song of Solomon” into your intimate exchanges. The moment is ripe for such extravagance. Can you imagine saying things like, “Your lips are honey,” or “You are a fountain in the garden, a well of living waters”? In my opinion, it wouldn’t even be too extreme for you to murmur, “May I find the scent of your breath like apricots, and your whispers like spiced wine flowing smoothly to welcome my caresses.” If those sentiments seem too flowery, you could pluck gems from Pablo Neruda’s love sonnets. How about this one: “I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees.”

Here’s another: “I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”

Aries (March 21-April 19): Welcome to Swami Moonflower’s Psychic Hygiene Hints. Ready for some mystical cleansing? Hint No. 1: To remove stains on your attitude, use a blend of Chardonnay wine, tears from a cathartic crying session and dew collected before dawn. No. 2: To eliminate glitches in your love life, polish your erogenous zones with pomegranate juice while you visualize the goddess kissing your cheek. No. 3: To get rid of splotches on your halo, place angel food cake on your head for two minutes, then bury the cake in holy ground while chanting, “It’s not my fault! My evil twin’s a jerk!” No. 4: To banish the imaginary monkey on your back, whip your shoulders with a long silk ribbon until the monkey runs away. No. 5: To purge negative money karma, burn a dollar bill in the flame of a green candle.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): A reader named Kameel Hawa writes that he “prefers pleasure to leisure and leisure to luxury.” That list of priorities would be excellent for you to adopt during the coming weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will be the recipient of extra amounts of permission, relief, approval and ease. I won’t be surprised if you come into possession of a fresh X-factor or wild card. In my opinion, to seek luxury would be a banal waste of such precious blessings. You’ll get more health-giving benefits that will last longer if you cultivate simple enjoyments and restorative tranquility.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): The coming weeks will be an excellent time to cruise past the houses where you grew up, the schools you used to attend, the hot spots where you and your old friends hung out, and the places where you first worked and had sex. In fact, I recommend

a grand tour of your past. If you can’t literally visit the locations where you came of age, simply visualize them in detail. In your imagination, take a leisurely excursion through your life story. Why do I advise this exercise?

Because you can help activate your future potentials by reconnecting with your roots.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): One of my favorite Cancerian artists is Penny Arcade, a New York performance artist, actress and playwright. In this horoscope, I offer a testimonial in which she articulates the spirit you’d be wise to cultivate in the coming weeks. She says, “I am the person I know best, inside out, the one who best understands my motivations, my struggles, my triumphs. Despite occasionally betraying my best interests to keep the peace, to achieve goals or for the sake of beloved friendships, I astound myself by my appetite for life, my unwavering curiosity into the human condition, my distrust of the status quo, my poetic soul and abiding love of beauty, my strength of character in the face of unfairness and my optimism despite defeats and loss.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The Witwatersrand is a series of cliffs in South Africa. It encompasses 217 square miles. From this area, which is a tiny fraction of the Earth’s total land surface, humans have extracted 50 percent of all the gold ever mined. I regard this fact as an apt metaphor for you to meditate on in the next 12 months, Leo. If you’re alert, you will find your soul’s equivalent of Witwatersrand.

What I mean is that you’ll have a golden opportunity to discover emotional and spiritual riches that will nurture your soul as it has rarely been nurtured.

Q&A What questions do you have for city leaders after last week’s tragic events?

Why were those with torches on Friday night never interrupted in their efforts? Anyone with two brain cells knows that folks of color doing something like that would’ve been met with strong law enforcement. Why did the white guys get to do it, unimpeded?

Who was in command of the overall police response for the event?

Was it the mayor of Charlottesville? The police chief of Charlottesville? A highranking Virginia State Police official? The governor of Virginia?

We all know the one about hindsight being 20/20 but why in the world did authorities NOT close Fourth Street to vehicle traffic?? Such an obvious and simple security measure that was somehow overlooked.

How do you explain why that young black man was brutally beaten in the parking garage that is literally next door to the police station?

The police did not send an observer to the Congregation Beth Israel on Saturday morning for the service.

What happened?

Why didn’t the police intervene more/do a better job of protecting people? Why have so many eyewitnesses to fights and other volatile situations said, “They just stood there.”?
