Strength in numbers Dave Matthews and a few of his friends, including Brittany Howard, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande and Chris Martin, got together at Scott Stadium Sunday, September 24, for A Concert for Charlottesville. The capacity crowd that attended the free event, put together by Matthews to promote unity in the aftermath of the summer’s deadly Unite the Right rally, was encouraged to donate to the Heal Charlottesville Fund at the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, which benefits August 11 and 12 victims and their families. At the beginning of the show, Matthews introduced Susan Bro, whose daughter, Heather Heyer, was killed when a driver slammed into a crowd of peaceful protesters August 12. Bro told the audience the concert was a “powerful and peaceful” way to come together and “turn our righteous anger into action and understanding.” To donate to the CACF’s Heal Charlottesville Fund, go to cacfonline.org/news/detail/heal-charlottesville-fund.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6TH ROCKY HIMSELF WILL BE THERE FROM 10AM-4PM, AT THE ETERNAL ATTIC

For those of us concerned that the race to completely destroy the Earth’s biosphere might be behind schedule, not to worry.

This year’s worldwide forest fires, heat waves, droughts and historic-level hurricanes could prove to break all records. According to the National Fire Information Center as of September 15, the total number of active large fires (which includes full suppression and resource managed fires) is 66, and fires nationwide have consumed 8,036,858 acres—about 12,557 square miles, larger than the size of Maryland.

Along the French Mediterranean coast, wildfires forced the evacuation of 12,000 people. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma’s devastation to Texas and Florida’s coasts are unprecedented for a single year, and a new Category 6 hurricane level may be required in the future. (The monetary cost to humans in terms of billions of dollars in lost jobs, housing and infrastructure, agriculture and resorts may not be determined for months.)

And guess what? There’s another reason not to worry. According to Fortune, Trump has bolstered Big Oil’s 40-year quest to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: “There’s a simple reason for their persistence: ‘ANWR is the largest unexplored, potentially productive geologic onshore basin in the United States,’ the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported in 2000. It’s also one of the rare pieces of unspoiled wilderness left in the world—home to polar bear dens and caribou calving grounds—and remains much the same as it was 10,000 years ago.”

Seriously, I assume we have not forgotten that stern warning from Smokey the Bear: “Only YOU can prevent forest fires!”

I certainly hope Smokey’s cousin, a polar bear, also has a warning: “Only YOU can prevent climate catastrophes!” This could also serve as a reminder to vote in November for candidates who care about our planet and are willing to take action and support policies that will protect our air, our forests and our tributaries and bay from pollution and pipelines.

Solidarity Cville rebukes the ‘Concert for Charlottesville’ as a show of false unity.

—Statement dropped about the same time the Dave Matthews-led concert was beginning September 24.

NEWS IN BRIEF

CPD’s August 12 bill Charlottesville police spent nearly $70,000 for the Unite the Right rally, including almost $44K on overtime and a $565 pizza tab from Papa John’s. The bill includes $3,300 for Albemarle sheriff ’s deputies, $2,400 for jailers and $750 for the services of clinical psychologist Jeffrey Fracher. The city spent $33,000 for the July 8 KKK rally.

Art installation erased

A group of residents worked through the wee hours September 24 to transform the Free Speech Wall to the Solidarity Wall. Little more than an hour later, a man erased their efforts.

What wasn’t quite clear from renderings of The Standard, the deluxe student apartments now under construction across from The Flats on West Main Street, was just how massive and Soviet Bloc-looking the 499-space parking garage is.

Good news: It’s going to be covered by the building and won’t be a stand-alone monstrosity.

According to Chris Engel, the city’s director of economic development, the “parking being built is solely to support the building,” which has 189 units and commercial and retail on the first of its six floors.

Developer Landmark Properties, based in Athens, Georgia, is “redefining the college living experience,” according to its website. The complex is shooting for a fall 2018 move-in.

“It’s kind of an eyesore,” says Flats resident William Rule. The construction noise, too, has been a problem, he says.

Mel Walker, owner of Mel’s Cafe, is not perturbed about the construction down the street or the upcoming influx of students. “They’ve got to eat somewhere,” he says.

Where’s the gas?

Huissuan Stinnie, the 18-year-old on the lam since being accused of the September 11 murder of New York man Shawn Evan Davis on South First Street, was arrested in Fluvanna September 25. He faces charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony.

Accused murderer arrested

Lifelong mountain biker and Charlottesville resident Eric Pearson was frustrated by the hassle of having to back his car out of his garage each time he pedaled home and needed to hang his bicycle back on the hook over his workbench, so he committed to buying an outdoor storage container for his two-wheeler.

“I quickly discovered that no elegant product existed,” he says, and decided to build a device for those who also wanted an aesthetically pleasing way to keep their bikes from becoming one of the 1.5 million stolen in the country each year. Thus, the Alpen Bike Capsule was born.

Each slim silver cylinder uses an integrated Bluetooth lock to provide secure access, is waterproof, lightweight, durable and bolts to any surface. While Pearson says his capsules look great outside any home or apartment, or on the back of an RV, we think it looks like it came straight off a Star Wars set—and we’re okay with that.

The product should hit the market by mid-2018, he says. And though it’ll set customers back about $1,000, Pearson says early orderers can expect significant discounts.

For years the tenure of Steven Meeks as president of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society has brought grumblings from former board members and a loss of half its dues-paying membership. Now the city is citing leadership and transparency issues in its proposal to up the rent for the McIntire Building, where the nonprofit is housed, from $182 a month to $750, according to Chris Suarez in the Daily Progress.

Differing stories in Aldridge family slayings

Mani with a hammer and a knife. The two allegedly ran upstairs to get dressed and locked themselves in Mani’s room. Then, Washington told Aaron he attempted to leave the home, but stopped to talk to Robin first. He said she was still angry and said she was going to call the police, so he became scared and “started swinging,” killing both of the women. Washington said he gathered items in the home that would connect him to the murders.

But the prosecution has a different theory—that the killings were premeditated— and pointed out numerous inconsistencies in Washington’s version of the story, including that Mani’s bedroom door didn’t have a lock and Washington didn’t have the markings on his hands or arms that one would expect from defending himself.

Prosecutor Libby Killeen said Washington told a friend weeks before the murders that he would be selling a car, and that Robin’s blue Toyota Matrix, found in the parking lot of his Barracks West apartment complex, was the car he was selling. At the time of their deaths, the Aldridges were also wearing jackets and shoes.

While Aaron testified there’s a chance Washington could have made up some of the details, he said the defendant’s back-

ground and psychological profile suggested it was likely that the murders were a response to Washington’s strong emotions, and probably not premeditated.

The defendant, who has dealt with depression, anxiety, PTSD and substance abuse issues, has a hard time distinguishing between what is real and what is not, according to Aaron.

In a three-hour testimony, the psychologist described Washington’s unhappy childhood, said he had significant learning problems and effectively still functioned as a child. Washington is considered intellectually disabled and neuropsychologist Joette James testified that his IQ is 76.

Aside from underperforming in school, his severe allergies and asthma caused him to be hospitalized as a child, which also gave him a sense of inadequacy, according to Aaron. He dealt with nocturnal enuresis, or bedwetting, through his childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, which contributed to his feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Washington’s home life was unstable, and by the time he was in fifth grade, he had been placed in eight different schools.

When Aaron testified that Washington’s mother berated him, called him stupid and

he Georgia man charged with kicking a counterprotester who was on the ground in the Market Street Parking Garage August 12 was denied bond Monday in Charlottesville General District Court.

Alex Michael Ramos, 33, who appeared before Judge Bob Downer September 25, was seeking bond for his release from Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail. Ramos surrendered August 28 to the Monroe Sheriff ’s Office in Forsyth, Georgia.

His attorney, John Joyce, stressed that Ramos had no criminal record “at all” and that he turned himself in.

Assistant Commonwealth’s attorney Nina Antony said that Ramos did not immediately turn himself in after the FBI released wanted posters August 24.

Ramos said he didn’t know about the arrest warrant until a friend called and told him about it August 28. “I’ll be honest, I had a hard time thinking about it,” he told the judge, but he did go to police several hours later.

Ramos was not part of the group of alt-right protesters that have been seen in

video and photographs beating Deandre Harris, according to his attorney, and he was on the opposite side of the street when he came over to the garage. “I would note he did not have any weapon on him,” said Joyce.

He added, “It may have been Mr. Harris that struck the first blow.”

Antony noted Ramos had no ties to Virginia aside from one friend in Richmond, and the “level of violence” in arguing to keep him in jail. “Mr. Ramos came into a fight he had no part in,” she said. “He strikes someone who is on the ground.”

Harris ended up with multiple injuries, including a broken wrist and eight staples in his head.

Judge Downer agreed when he denied bond. “Hitting a person when they’re down and running up like that is a vicious offense,” he said.

Ramos is scheduled to be in court again October 12.

Also in court Monday was Jacob Smith, the Louisa man accused of punching Hill reporter Taylor Lorenz in the face August 12 on Fourth Street—after a car plowed into a group of counterprotesters, he told her to stop recording. His case was continued to November 3.

beat him as a child, Washington shook his head and wiped tears from his eyes with a tissue. Aaron said Washington’s sister was also abused. His mother had one or more partners who abused her in ways such as punching, choking and setting her hair on fire.

When he was in ninth grade, the home Washington was living in with his mother caught on fire and burned to the ground, destroying all of the family’s possessions. And when his brother was murdered in 2006, Washington was locked up and couldn’t attend the funeral. His lengthy rap sheet includes assault, grand larceny and drug charges and several probation violations.

“The two of them were very, very close,” Aaron testified. “This was just event after event after event.”

Washington’s grandmother, Katherine Burton, was the last witness to take the stand.

She said her grandson was devastated by the death of his brother, Scooter, and that the family knows the pain of having a beloved member murdered.

“They did everything together, including getting in trouble,” Burton said, and also recounted their early days when Washington was an usher at their church and Scooter played drums in the band.

Outside the courtroom, the Aldridges’ friends and family hugged Burton.

Though the judge granted the prosecution’s request of life in prison, Killeen said there are no real victories in these types of situations.

“Their lives were cut short with these brutal murders and their survivors have to go through that loss,” she says. “In a situation where someone has received the maximum possible terms, it’s also the case that it’s a tragedy for Mr. Washington’s family.”

Candid Cantwell

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

I

Christopher Cantwell calls himself a political prisoner.

“I think that we have civil rights like everybody else, and so when people say that we’re racists and terrorists for standing up for ourselves, our country and our history, well then do not act surprised when we get pissed off about that.”

facebook.com/cville.weekly

When Cantwell was originally thrown in the hole, he said it was his personal request to stay in solitary confinement. But now that he’s been denied bail and jailed for longer than he expected, he’s been advised that “the guy who kills [him] becomes a celebrity,” so joining the general population would not be a good idea.

“I’m not particularly happy about it,” Cantwell says. “But, after all, I’m in here for a false accusation that stems from me defending myself. The last thing I need to do is get put into a cage full of fine, upstanding, young black gentlemen who decide they’re going to beat up the Nazi and then I gotta defend myself. And if I put someone in the fucking ICU, that’s probably going to come up in court.”

Cantwell is scheduled to appear November 9 with attorney Elmer Woodard in Albemarle County General District Court, where if it goes anything like his last appearance, Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert Tracci will try to use some of the inmate’s own comments to keep him locked up.

“Well, you know, I’m a shock jock. I offend people professionally,” Cantwell says.

“If we’re going to talk about all the nasty things I said on the internet, we’re going to be here for a while.”

@cvillenews_desk

terrorize people is “complete nonsense,” and that they came to defend white rights.

“I think that we have civil rights like everybody else, and so when people say that we’re racists and terrorists for standing up for ourselves, our country and our history, well then do not act surprised when we get pissed off about that,” he says. And with hundreds of his comrades packing heat, he calls it “a miracle that only one person died.”

Cantwell was dubbed the “Crying Nazi” when he posted a tearful video of himself on the web before turning himself into police in Lynchburg. He says he’s not a fan of the title.

“Well, first of all, I’m not a Nazi,” he says.

“I came down here because I think that I fucking have rights and that I don’t deserve my fucking race to be exterminated from the planet,” he says, and adds that not everyone who’s “skeptical of Jews” is a Nazi. “I came down here because I feel like my country is going to shit. I came down here because the rule of law is going out the window and you get prosecuted for felonies because people disagree with your politics in America. That’s worth crying about.”

Regardless, he says he has a lot of time on his hands and he’s been reading a copy of Mein Kampf sent courtesy of an anonymous friend—or foe.

September 27 – October 3, 2017 c-ville.com

n a minuscule, stagnant holding room just feet away from a barely bigger solitary confinement cell where he’s been housed since he turned himself in to police August 23, “Crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell, a self-proclaimed racist and altright radio shock jock, says he wishes he never came to Charlottesville.

Perhaps most notable for his appearance in VICE News Tonight’s segment on the events of August 11 and 12 called “Charlottesville: Race and Terror,” Cantwell is also the host of right-wing radio show “Radical Agenda,” and he was billed as a speaker for the Unite the Right rally.

Jailed and denied bond for three felony counts related to allegedly pepper spraying two people during an August 11 tiki-torch march on Grounds at the University of Virginia, Cantwell denies those claims and says the only person he pepper sprayed that weekend didn’t file charges. He says his status as a “political prisoner” hasn’t kept him from preaching his doctrine.

That’s right. Cantwell is “LIVE from Seg!,” as in segregated from the general prison population. And though he can’t measure his analytics from a jail cell, he expects that more than 10,000 people have been tuning in to each episode to hear him gab with buddies Jared Howe, Mike Enoch and Jason Kessler.

The latter might come as a surprise. Kessler, the local champion of western heritage who organized the deadly rally and lambasted victim Heather Heyer on Twitter afterward, has since been given the ax by a lot of the whites righters he invited to his highly anticipated melee that some have called the largest gathering of white supremacists in recent history.

“Jason is a guy who picks up the goddamn phone when I call him, which I cannot say for everybody else,” says Cantwell. “A lot of people don’t want to talk to me, either, and so they might be a little more vocal about severing ties with Jason, but I pay attention to who picks up the goddamn phone when I call them. Jason picks up the phone. Jason records the calls. Jason sends them to the guy who’s running my website, so Jason is helpful to me in that he insists on my voice being heard.”

That being said, Cantwell criticizes Kessler for organizing the rally here: “If I had known what Charlottesville was, I wouldn’t have come here. And I gotta think there’s something wrong with a person who fucking thinks this is a good place to do what he did.”

He continues, “This city is run by the goddamn Red Army...and the idea that we’re going to fucking pull this off is crazy and he should have known that.” Mayor Mike Signer did coin Charlottesville as the “capital of the resistance” last January, after all.

Cantwell currently resides in solitary confinement in the intake department of the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, where alleged murderer James Alex Fields, who is accused of plowing into a crowd of counterprotesters with his Dodge Challenger at Unite the Right, killing one and injuring many, was a few cells over when the radio host first arrived. Fields has since been moved.

The guy who’s now looking at as much as 60 years in prison says, “you better believe I need a few bucks,” and has a couple of fundraisers linked to his website. Booted off the popular crowdfunding site GoFundMe, he has turned to alternative platform GOYFUNDME. He’s faced harsh criticism for a remark in his interview with VICE’s Elle Reeve, where he said Fields’ actions that day, which many have called an act of domestic terrorism, were “more than justified.”

Now, wearing a black-and-white-striped jumpsuit and bright orange slip-on shoes, and sucking on a hard candy, he says he may have second thoughts about that statement.

After the VICE documentary aired, Cantwell says he had a conversation with someone claiming to be an FBI agent, who told him Fields drove through two blocks of clear roads with no foot traffic, and that he could have turned his car away from the crime scene at any time instead of mowing down more than 20 people.

“That gives me a second to pause and say ‘what the hell was he doing there?’” Cantwell says. “What I saw was a video of his car surrounded by communist rioters who had just pepper sprayed me twice in as many days and hit his car with a baseball bat. I knew these people were dangerous. So when he’s in that position and they attack him and he has no idea what to do and he just hits the gas, from that information, that looks reasonable to me.”

But Cantwell insists he never wanted trouble when he came to Charlottesville toting three pistols and two assault rifles.

“We didn’t come down here to start a riot,” he says. “We didn’t come down here to kill nobody. And we had a permit. I was invited to speak by a demonstration that had a permit and was championed by the ACLU, and in return for my trouble, I got maced.”

He says the idea that the white nationalists came to town to start a race riot or to

plement sustainability standards for trailbuilding, as well as coaching them through developing the kind of local partnerships with city, county, public and sometimes private entities, which will allow for land use,” says Stackhouse. “They’re a huge advocate for the sport, and a conduit for putting that knowledge to use.”

After securing chapter status under Stackhouse’s leadership, CAMBC quickly adopted sustainability standards for trail-making.

Members underwent training and learned how to create trail systems that would provide users with the most enjoyable ride, while having no adverse effect on the environment. Meanwhile, CAMBC beefed up its outreach. The group started emailing more newsletters, developed social media platforms and began hosting open rides and dinners on a weekly basis for riders of all skill-levels, beginners included.

A main goal was to get more kids riding, and to let families know how easy and fun the sport was. In short, all you need is a bike and a helmet. “A lot of people think that you need really fancy equipment and have to go blazing through the woods at breakneck speed, hitting jumps or something like that, but it really isn’t the case,” says Stackhouse.

Mostly, it’s about getting into the woods, getting some exercise and enjoying nature.

“If you want to buy a really nice bike and go fast, of course, there’s that option,” he adds.

“But you certainly don’t have to. And that’s something we wanted people to know.”

Simultaneously, the organization launched a campaign to reach out to local nonprofits and organizations. Cultivating relationships with UVA, the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Fluvanna County and elsewhere became a priority.

“The idea was to educate these organizations and the public at large, letting them know that we existed, were willing to do the legwork to create and maintain networks of sustainable trails and, in turn, how those trails would benefit the community at large,” says Stackhouse.

CAMBC volunteers compiled comparative data, created PowerPoints and verbal presentations, and met with a number of officials, ranging from folks at the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and UVA, to

various Parks & Recreation representatives and more. After four years of hardcore planning and legwork, their labor paid off. By 2012, CAMBC had procured numerous Memorandums of Understanding—which Stackhouse describes as a kind of legal handshake between organizations—wherein CAMBC was granted permission to modify, create and maintain trails on various properties.

But early in the summer of 2012, the derecho came through and more-or-less demolished the entire area trail system. “There were trees down everywhere, and the work required to get it all up and running again was tremendous,” says Stackhouse. In seeing

the forest through the trees, so to speak, he saw the opportunity to create a community partnership with the Rivanna Trails Foundation. The mountain biking organization had amassed a hundreds-strong email list and could easily pull together 50 volunteers for a given day of work, Stackhouse says. So he offered help in fixing area trails and making them sustainable.

After RTF agreed, CAMBC members and associates attacked the project with vigilance.

While removing the trees, they fixed trouble spots on the trail. “There were multiple secCONTINUED ON PAGE 27

Mint Springs Park

Cor Carelsen

Owner of Crozet Bicycle Shop Claudius Crozet Park. “For beginners on up to a seasoned rider looking for a good evening ride, I’d recommend starting at Claudius Crozet Park and following the trail down past the dog park along Licking Hole Creek. The trail starts out really easy going, so a beginner can ride until he or she feels uncomfortable with a hill or whatever, then turn around. If you want to go further, the loop is about seven miles total.”

Mint Springs Park. “Located at the water reservoir within riding distance of Crozet, the park is maintained by Albemarle County and features various loop trails, about five to six miles in total. It’s very accessible and, with lots of elevation changes, you can really challenge yourself.”

Blue Ridge School Trail. The school is in St. George and has around 15 miles of trails of various difficulty levels, all of which are well marked and well maintained. The trails are very flowy, with not too many jumps, and feature some technical climbing and slow descending. Pro tip: “When you get there, go to the climbing tower at the trailhead, where you’ll need to register and sign an indemnity form.”

s an avid mountain biker, Dave Stackhouse immediately started looking for like-minded riders when he relocated from Maine to Charlottesville in 2007. The search quickly led the 68-year-old veteran mountain biker to what was then a relatively new area organization, the Charlottesville Area Mountain Biking Club.

“The club had been formed in 2003 out of a growing necessity to create an organization that could integrate and represent the interests of the area’s mountain biking community,” says Stackhouse. “When I joined, it was just sort of getting its sea legs. We had about 40 members, and our activities were pretty limited.”

While the group had worked to construct a few trails at Walnut Creek and Panorama Farms—which is no longer open to mountain bikers—by Stackhouse’s estimation, most weren’t up to snuff. “At that point, we had no real background in trail-building, so those ‘legacy’ trails were installed in a way that we’d now call ‘not up to spec.’”

Furthermore, the efforts had largely been spearheaded by enthusiastic individuals or bike shops, and therefore lacked coherency.

What was missing was a comprehensive, long-term vision, and a step-by-step strategy for implementation.

Stackhouse, a lifelong mountain biker who rode with several groups in Maine, landed a seat on the group’s board within a year. In 2010, he became president of the organization.

“I guess I sort of brought an outsider’s perspective to the table, which was probably attractive,” says Stackhouse.

Upon joining the board, one of Stackhouse’s first moves was to advocate for acquiring chapter status through the International Mountain Biking Organization.

Becoming a representative of the IMBA, the unifying body for mountain bikers worldwide, would instantaneously legitimize the organization. Additionally, having formed in 1988, the group would provide CAMBC with a wealth of resources, training and mentorship.

RICHMOND'S TURNTABLE EXPERTS SINCE 1978

Simultaneous to Stackhouse’s taking the helm of CAMBC, other seeds for the area’s mountain biking future were being planted.

In 2010, having accepted a post teaching English at the Miller School of Albemarle, 36-year-old UVA graduate Peter Hufnagel pitched a revolutionary idea.

“I’d ridden on the UVA cycling team throughout college and my wife, Andrea Dvorak, was racing professionally, both as a road cyclist and a mountain biker,” says Hufnagel. “So, I understood better than most the realities of a young person trying to become a top-tier cyclist—it’s very, very hard. Support is typically minimal, and that makes it tough to excel. Meanwhile, I was working at this small, very progressive school and thought, ‘Why don’t we try to develop the world’s premier high school cycling program?’”

In retrospect, he admits the idea was a bit ambitious, but at the time it seemed perfectly rational. “I’d traveled all around the world and ridden in so many races in so many great places, and I realized that, right here in Charlottesville, we have some of the best roads and trails in the world,” he says. “Given the school’s student-first approach, it seemed logical that we should create a team, and seek to really put the area on the map.”

September 27 – October 3, 2017 c-ville.com

tions that, due to erosion and poor planning, had become dangerous, and were yielding injuries,” says Stackhouse. “As we cleaned up, we rerouted and fixed these.

Sometimes, it was a quarter-mile stretch, sometimes 100 yards. It took many, many hours, and a whole lot of patience.”

The end result was two-fold. On the one hand, erosion was put into check, and a more nature- and user-friendly trail system was created. On the other, impressed with CAMBC’s diligence and its offer to take over maintenance of the system, the RTF decided to allow biking on its trails.

“Before that, sure, people were riding out there, but they were doing it illegally,” says Stackhouse. “What that agreement did was establish a 35-mile network of pristine, perfectly sustainable trails for riders right here in the city. Now, you can commute, take the kids out or get off from a hard day of work and jump right on the trail. It gave us access to trail riding right outside our back doors, which is something not a lot of cities have. It’s unique, and very special.”

The partnership sent a message: Charlottesville was ready to define itself as a full-on bike-friendly community. With the Rivanna Trail serving as a pilot of sorts, it became much easier for CAMBC to secure rights to other properties. And as more and more trails were installed in parks throughout the area, more and more people began to ride, creating momentum in the biking community.

Peter Hufnagel, Miller School of Albemarle English teacher and coach, and his wife, retired professional cyclist Andrea Dvorak, spearheaded the founding of MSA’s mountain biking and cycling program, with the goal of creating a nationally recognized racing series. MSA’s cycling program now includes 30 riders from the U.S. and other countries and has featured five national champion riders.

September 27 – October 3, 2017 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27

Pulling several all-nighters, Hufnagel developed a presentation outlining a strategic 20-year plan, which he pitched to the school’s administrators. Essentially, he intended to create a niche program that would offer mountain bikers and cyclists from around the world a home at which to pursue their sport at the highest level, while still getting a quality education. “The notion was sort of like a Hogwarts for cyclists,” he says with a laugh. “I had this vision of building something for the kids that would feel that special. Anything less than that wouldn’t cut it.”

To Hufnagel’s surprise, the administration bought in. With the school’s small class size and hands-on teachers, the program seemed a perfect match.

Hufnagel began working with his wife and her then-coach, professional cyclist Andy Guptil, to develop the program. “We’d get together and talk about what we needed to do to make this a viable reality,” Hufnagel says. “At first, I’d sort of rope them into a hypothetical conversation and they’d play along, but, with time, they got invested.”

Helping matters was the fact that both Guptil and Dvorak were in the process of retiring. Additionally, Guptil was dating Hufnagel’s sister, and the two had decided to move to Charlottesville. Within a couple of years, both Guptil and Dvorak took coaching positions at MSA.

“In a lot of ways, it kind of felt like the stars were aligning to make this happen,” says Hufnagel. “Things were just falling into place. But there was still a lot to be done.”

For one thing, if MSA was going to have a legitimate racing team, it was going to need to develop a means of competing.

Furthermore, that means had to have weight: To attract serious cyclists, they needed to provide a channel into the collegiate and professional ranks.

Hufnagel’s solution? To create a nationally recognized racing series.

In spring 2011, working with Guptil and Dvorak’s contacts, he helped found the first USA Cycling-sanctioned interscholastic mountain biking series in Virginia, the Virginia High School MTB Series. Allowing student-riders to earn points, gain standing and qualify to compete in national-level competitions, the series would serve as a conduit for professional and Olympic teams.

Looking back, Hufnagel describes the first year as a major learning experience, and, starting with just three riders, as grassroots as it gets. “We featured six races and had four teams competing,” he says. “Blue Ridge School had a team, St. Christopher’s had a team, and there was a composite group from Harrisonburg. We’d pulled riders from the cross-country team and anyone else who was interested. There was no production value. While we had some protocols in place, we were basically making it up as we went along.”

Today, however, things are different. For the past two years, MSA has won the state championship. It routinely tops regional leaderboards, has graduated four riders with UCI professional contracts, has featured five national championship riders and had four riders selected to the UCI World Championship Team.

29

Next spring, if you attend a VAHS MTB Series race, you will encounter a scene reminiscent of a pro-level event. Only, it’s for kids. Riders tear through the woods, zipping around bank curves, navigating technical segments and hitting an occasional jump.

“We’ve become hugely competitive, and offer events for elementary school kids on up to the high-schoolers,” says Hufnagel. “In 2018, we expect 32 teams will participate, which makes for something like 450 riders.”

Meanwhile, MSA’s mountain biking and cycling program has grown to include 30 male and female riders hailing from all across the U.S., Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic and elsewhere. The team routinely includes athletes who compete in top-tier national and international events, and, last year, featured a rider who signed with Aevolo Cycling, one of the world’s premier U-23 teams.

Going public Looking to expand MSA’s program to include a fall season, Dvorak spearheaded a partnership with the National Interscholastic Cycling Association in 2014. The organization, formed in 2009, had been instrumental in developing mountain biking as an official high school sport, mostly in the western U.S., in states such as Colorado, California, Oregon and New Mexico.

“The success at Miller proved to private schools across the state that having a mountain biking team was a viable investment,” says Dvorak. “But while we’d had a lot of success on that front, our goal was always to make the sport more mainstream.

We wanted it to be viewed like basketball, soccer, football or whatever.”

For that to happen, they’d have to find a way to get mountain biking into pub-

lic schools. Hence the partnership with NICA, which led to the formation of the Virginia Interscholastic Cycling League, a pilot league aimed at doing just that.

“The great thing about NICA is they provide a blueprint and resources for implementing programs that meet high school league standards,” says Dvorak. “They train, certify and vet the coaches. They provide insurance. They have standardized rule books. They supply trail-building information. You name it.”

When current Charlottesville Area Mountain Biking Club President Sam Lindblom, 45, learned about what was going on, he decided to take a chance.

“My son was going to be entering Monticello High School in the fall of 2015, and was really into mountain biking,” he says.

“Considering what Andrea was doing, I decided to phone the athletic director and see if the school was interested in developing a program.”

When Monticello athletic director Matthew Pearman got Lindblom’s call, his immediate response was, “Why not?”

“Sam was really passionate about the idea and presented it in a manner that made perfect sense,” says Pearman. “As an AD, my goal is to enable as many students to participate in sporting activities and represent their school as I can. Basically, Sam said: ‘My son is really into mountain biking and he has enough friends to make a team. What can we do?’ It seemed like something we should try to make happen.”

Initially, the two decided it was best to form a club. As with MSA four years before, they were breaking new ground. “Normally, in my profession, when something comes up, I pick up the phone, call another AD and

ask how they handled this or that situation,” says Pearman. “But in this case, there was no one to call. We were the first public school in the state to do this. So, there was a big learning curve. We had to take it step by step.”

As luck would have it, each step of the way, Lindblom and Pearman were met with positive reception. Principals, superintendents, parents, school board members—they were all overwhelmingly supportive. “Of course, we had to do our due diligence and follow the process, but we didn’t meet with any opposition, and that made things a lot easier,” says Pearman.

Bit by bit, the two worked to develop a model that, they hoped, other public schools would be able to follow.

“That first year, I basically had no idea what I was doing,” laughs Lindblom. “We were kind of like the Bad News Bears. We had to figure things out and learn as we went along. We had to develop practice schedules, secure locations to ride, get funding for jerseys, cut trails, adopt mission statements. It was a lot to get thrown into.”

Naturally, Lindblom began consulting with his friends—many of who were adamant riders, and also parents. Seeing what he was doing at MHS, in spring 2016, a number of those friends sought to found teams of their own. Their efforts led to the formation of teams at Western Albemarle, Albemarle and Charlottesville high schools.

“It was really cool how it happened,” says Lindblom. “We were all getting together and talking about this, and maybe some people would come out and help at a practice, and they’d end up walking away saying, ‘Hey, I

think I’d like to do this at my kid’s school.’

It was totally grassroots. We were all riding together at CAMBC, and our kids were racing on the Charlottesville Racing Club team, so it was neat to see this very public development blossom out of that community.”

Elsewhere across the state, other schools were taking notice as well. “I started getting a lot of calls,” says Pearman. “Athletic directors were phoning to ask me how we’d done it, what were the risks, how did it work, that sort of thing. Suddenly, we sort of found ourselves having achieved what we set out to do. We’ve basically become the go-to program for how you incorporate this sport in a high school setting.”

Riding into the future The Miller School hosted the opening race of this fall’s Virginia Interscholastic Cycling League series on its student-built trails. The 3.3-mile course offers a 535-foot elevation gain and, according to official race info, “starts off with a challenging climb from the lower soccer field onto a gravel road before jumping into a short section of windy singletrack. Off the singletrack, riders will continue to climb up a doubletrack section of trail before riding over the flyover towards a fun, machine-built descent. A power climb under the flyover to the highest point on the course is followed by a fast and then twisty downhill before a final singletrack section into the finishing, opening field.”

Pearman says it’s phenomenal how far high school mountain biking has come in such a short period of time. “There were

Montgomery Hall Park

James Burris

Montgomery Hall Park, Staunton. A great option just outside of downtown Staunton. Features around six miles of loops, some of which overlap to create bigger rides.

Braley Pond Day Use Area. Located 15 minutes outside of Staunton in North River, this is part of the famous Shenandoah Mountain Trail, and is in the George Washington and Thomas Jefferson National Forest. There are some smaller loops, but I like the Road Hollow to Bridge Hollow ride, with a descent to Braley Pond. It’s about 25 miles total, is for avid riders, and takes about three hours to complete. Expect rock gardens, off-camber side slopes, fast descents—in other words, a little of everything.

probably 600 spectators in attendance, with hundreds of riders from 30 different teams,” he says. “There were people lining the trails in the woods to cheer on the racers. It looked like a professional event. It blew me away. It was really incredible.”

In the last two years, Monticello High has grown its roster to 17 riders. It’s climbed the ranks to become the second-ranked public school team in the state, and sixth overall. In other words, it’s started to develop a healthy culture of competition.

“The most amazing thing is what happened when these kids started representing their various schools,” says Lindblom with a chuckle. “It was instantaneous rivalry. We ride together all the time and yet, they’re out here taking it really seriously in this super good-natured way. They talk trash, they watch the points standings, they want to get better. It’s cool to see that kind of investiture.

They take pride in what they’re doing. And they’re being active and experiencing the outdoors in the process.”

Across town, senior Miller School standout Gus Myers, who wore the leader jersey until the last race of last spring’s VAHS MTB Series and rides for the Kelly Benefits U-23 professional development team in the summers, expresses similar sentiments. “This is a really, really special program—nothing like it exists anywhere else,” he says. “Before I came to MSA, I was this weird kid that spent all my time on a bike. People didn’t understand, and they didn’t really support me. But here, I’m surrounded by this amazing group of kids that are doing the same thing I am. Our coaches and teachers care deeply about what we’re doing. I have a support structure that allows me to thrive and push myself as hard as I can. It’s been pretty magical to find that.”

Myers grew up in Ivy, but moved to New Jersey with his parents two years ago.

He has attended MSA since his freshman year in high school, and is now a boarding

student, which he says lets him focus on cycling and mountain biking pretty much full-time. With competitive seasons in the fall, spring and summer, the only time he isn’t racing is for a couple of months in the winter—and even that time is chock-full of training (mostly long cardio-heavy rides in the mountains). At MSA, mornings get underway at 6, with riders meeting in the weight room for a workout. After that, they eat breakfast, and attend school from 8am to 3pm. Then it’s off to the bike room and practice, which runs until 5:30pm, at the school’s dirt track. Then they eat dinner and attend a mandatory study hall until around 9:30pm. Weekends are devoted to races, and the team is sometimes on the road for weeks at a time, traveling to places like California, Vermont or even Europe to compete.

It’s a grueling schedule, but Myers says it’s worth it. For most riders—Myers included—the end goal is to obtain a professional level contract, or to secure a spot on a strong collegiate team, which could yield an eventual pro contract.

“To compete at this level means you have make a lot of sacrifices,” he says. “We have tutors on the road with us, and our teachers put in a lot of Skype and email sessions. We do everything together as a team, and our lives basically consist of schoolwork, sleeping and biking. It’s really demanding, but with the school’s help and support, you sort of get into a groove and it becomes a routine.”

Looking to the future, Lindblom, Hufnagel, Dvorak and Stackhouse are all in agreement: As the sport goes more and more mainstream, and more and more kids get involved, things will continue to expand.

“I think what we’re seeing now is an intimation of the real growth to come,” says Stackhouse. “We still have a lot of work to do, but we started planting these seeds some years back, and we’re reaping the first big harvest of those results.”

TRICKED OUT SOUL

SLICK KICKOFF

Whether you believe in magic or not, you’ll be left wide-eyed with wonder listening to Son Little’s second full-length album, New Magic. In his quest to find where musical ideas originate, this Philadelphia-born songwriting sorcerer made a name for himself weaving together American music genres. The result is a cohesive vision that is entirely unique, combining soulful melodies and flowing instrumentals, while often using nature as an inspiration, as in “The River.” $12, 8:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

There are no barriers when it comes to Canadian-born songwriter Colter Wall.

Despite starting his career two years ago, Wall has been filling the boots of legends such as Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, and using them to achieve great heights. Gritty storytelling alongside folk-bluegrass guitar and banjo power his debut, self-titled album, which he is touring on from coast to coast while adding to an already hearty repertoire of memorable performances. $12.50-125, 4:40pm.

SPEAKING FROM THE ART MARC LEMOINE

In 2012, five members of the performance protest troupe Pussy Riot made a surprise appearance inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior, where the group launched into what is now deemed the “punk prayer,” and took the Lord and Vladimir Putin’s names in vain. Putin was outraged, and Patriarch Kirill declared (per the Guardian), “the devil laughed at us,” as the whole world got a front row seat while three the participants were hunted down, put on trial and convicted of “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.” UVA Drama’s season opens with Barbara Hammond’s WE ARE PUSSY RIOT OR EVERYTHING IS P.R., an interactive protest play that chronicles the story that became an international sensation. $8-14, 8pm.

Mountain Moves (Joyful Noise)

The Babe Rainbow (Sony)

A veteran of Iceland’s experimental Múm as well as the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Gyða Valtýsdottir delivers an hybrid of those two worlds on Epicycle. The instrumentation hews to the traditional, but the sensibility and choice of material are adventurous, as Valtýsdottir interprets Crumb, Partch and Messiaen alongside Prokofiev, Schubert and Schumann. The cherry on top is “Seikilos Epitaph,” a piece dating from circa the first century AD. The musicianship is exquisite and the results are mysterious and mesmerizing throughout. “Louange à l’Éternité de Jesus” from Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time is a stunning work in any setting, morphing through countless shades of emotion from melancholy to hopefulness to terror to holy prostration. The concluding “Ave Generosa,” by Hildegard, provides an enigmatic ending to a spellbinding album.

Atlanta’s Omni comprises duo Frankie Broyles (Deerhunter) and Philip Frobos (Carnivores)—their self-titled debut last year was good minimal art rock, and MultiTask is even better minimal art rock, with angular guitar riffs, punchy bass lines, drums totally locked into the grid. The songs are tight and knotty, but not devoid of melody—you can even sing along with lead single “Equestrian” and punchy declarations like “you can’t afford it / you know you’re worth it.” After a jangly beginning, “Choke” turns into swinging no-wave—a cross between Meat Puppets and Minutemen, as much as Gang of Four and Wire. And Frobos’ cold Britishisms are cut with a Southern lilt and good humor, humanizing the wind-up toy backing tracks. Half an hour of MultiTask might be long enough, but it’s plenty good enough.

Indie-art faves Deerhoof are angular and taut like Omni, but more academic and yeah, less fun. I know off-kilter time signatures are “cool,” and Deerhoof’s technique is unimpeachable, but I’m not sure what ends they serve. There’s a bemused air, but the album is shot through with menaced, anxious lyrics—“Slow motion detonation / Future that you could have saved”; “You could outlive your executioners / But you’re on TV, you’re expendable.” Reference points are odd—some fleeting ’80s guitar rock moments, and a plodding “Smooth Criminal” funk groove in multiple spots, including “Come Down Here & Say That” with underutilized guest Laetitia Sadier. But Xenia Rubinos brings soulful levity as she la-las through the piano-driven pop of “Singalong Junk,” and Greg Saunier’s drums, never the most interesting element, are always among the heaviest, and Mountain Moves feels like a workout.

Three surfer boys from the Aussie hippie beach town of Byron Bay, The Babe Rainbow delivers a suitably groovy debut LP. In Oz, the Babes are on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s label—and like the Giz they’re versatile, though not as ferocious.

Mostly, they’re hanging loose while hanging together—guitarist Jack “Cool Breeze” Crowther sounds casual but never sloppy, while on “Losing Something” and “Half a Kiss,” singer Angus Darling comes off like Devendra Banhart without the baggage.

There’s nothing deceptive in the song titles—“Peace Blossom Boogie” has a light T. Rex hipsway; “Cosmic Now” is ’60s flower psych; and “Monkey Disco” comes with wah guitar, springy bass and the good ol’ four-on-the-floor. The Babe Rainbow is stony party music par excellence.— Nick Rubin

a shy kid who was a good student and they lectured him: “This isn’t you. This isn’t you.”

He promised to change, and when he didn’t change, his mom brought him to live with his dad in Albemarle County last year.

“I’m always going to progressively grow up, but right then and there, I [realized] I had to get my shit together,” Brown says. He kept thinking about music, about how his friends would say things like, “I’d kill to have your talent,” and “You’re nice with your music. Why don’t you just stick with the music?”

So when he got to Albemarle, that’s what he did. He started rapping in the breezeway and signed up for—and won—the Nine Pillars high school rap competition.

That night, “everyone really listened to me,” he says. “Even though it wasn’t a humongous crowd, it’s just something I love doing. ...Music is everything to me. It was a real game-changer.”

One person listening closely that night was Doughman, a local producer and engineer who served as a judge for the competition. Struck by the young MC’s a cappella performance (a rarity in the hip-hop world), by the resonance and rhythm of his voice and the content of his lyrics, Dough-

man knew immediately that Brown was his top pick.

Along with bragging rights, Brown won a small trophy, a set of Beats By Dre headphones and two hours of studio time with Doughman. He laid down two tracks during those two hours, and is now working on two EPs with the producer. He’s appeared on

Rugged Arts HipHop Showcase Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar September 29

Remy St. Clair’s “The Throne Room” show on 101Jamz and in August performed at the Rugged Arts Hip-hop Showcase at Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar. He’ll perform at the September edition of Rugged Arts this Friday.

“Life is rough, and you can choose to make it better, or not,” Brown says, noting that since he started focusing on music, his grades have improved and he’s stopped fighting. “Music is such a blessing for everybody,” he says. “Music gives people opportunities to say whatever they want,” and right now, Brown is happy to have that opportunity.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Last spring, J.R. Brown signed up for the Nine Pillars Hip-Hop Cultural Fest’s high school hip-hop showcase, and when he did, he needed a stage name (J.R. wasn’t going to cut it). So he thought about how music makes him feel: like a god. In Greek mythology, Zeus is the god of the sky and ruler of the gods— the gods’ god, if you will—so that was a no-brainer for Brown. At the time, he had 4,000 followers on Instagram, so he added “4K” to get Zeus4K. Plus, he says, the number four pays homage to Charlottesville’s 434 area code.

ast April, J.R. Brown stepped onto the wooden stage at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and looked out at the small-ish audience that had gathered in the auditorium.

With the house lights on, he could see everyone’s faces. All of their eyes—and ears—were on him. He was nervous. He closed his eyes.

The 17-year-old had rapped plenty of times between classes in the breezeway at Albemarle High School, where his fellow students could hear him, but this was different. This was a performance, meant to impress not only a bunch of strangers but a handful of leaders of Charlottesville’s hiphop scene who were judging the competition.

“Once I spit two bars, I just flowed out and opened my eyes,” says Brown, who goes by the moniker Zeus4K. He got comfortable quickly, spitting rhymes about the ample life he’s lived so far—about family, taking wrong turns, his frustration with how some people are “poppin’ Trayvons” while others are “poppin’ bottles,” about his hopes for his future.

“Life ain’t easy, it’s just crazy as it seems / Living life of hard knocks, of broken hearts and broken dreams. / ...Going through a struggle really ain’t a bad thing / Because it made me rhyme harder, gotta get my diamond ring,” he spit a cappella, no beats to fall back on, just his flow.

Brown was born in the Charlottesville area and moved to Hampton, Virginia, with his mom, his stepdad and three siblings when he was about 8. As a kid, he was diagnosed with a heart condition and couldn’t play sports, which meant no more basketball with his boys at the neighborhood park until the streetlights came on. His mom and stepdad worked three jobs between them, but money was still tight—sometimes the water or lights were turned off. He was bullied by his peers for lacking the latest fly gear. “I’m not saying I had it the worst, but I didn’t have it the best, either,” he says. That “broken heart” he rapped about on the Jefferson School stage is real, in more ways than one.

Inspired by Nas’ “I Can,” he started writing his own music when he was about 12 or 13. “Any time I was messed up in the head, I would put on some tunes,” he says. Nas, Method Man, Wu-Tang Clan, Jeezy. Freestyling over classic beats (especially the WuTang/RZA “Ice Cream” beat) was his release.

He noticed that any time he focused on music, he stayed out of trouble, but too often, he says, he lost sight of the music.

Eventually, Brown was suspended from school for fighting. His family knew him as

gram, just in case blood started to drip.

“Everybody must have thought I was so stuck-up.” he says. “It never did bleed, but it was an experience, because I’d just had that vision of me bleeding all over the keys.”

Popkin was (and still is) a rather skilled pianist, but even as a kid, he felt that if he were to become a professional concert pianist, he’d lose by winning—if a pianist is successful, says Popkin, he’ll travel all over the world, a new hotel every two nights, with no home life, no life other than piano.

And while Popkin knew his life needed piano, he didn’t want his life to be nothing but piano.

He attended medical school in Philadelphia and went into ophthalmology. He practiced in Princeton, New Jersey, for 14 years before moving to Charlottesville with

rnie Popkin says that people look at him funny when he tells them his ideas on playing piano. “I think you play 90 percent with your brain and 10 percent with your fingers,” says Popkin, who’s been playing piano for more than 75 years. True, he has a pianist’s long, slender digits—and people often remark on them—but a piano player is more than his hands.

“You have to have a conception of how [the music] sounds in your mind, and then you have to have the skill to produce that with your fingers...like how an artist has a conception of a painting, a sculpture,” Popkin says.

As Popkin hears the music in his mind, his hands move over invisible piano keys on the table. “Sometimes you feel like playing a little faster here, or holding up a little here, or playing this note a little louder,” he says. His eyebrows dance over the rims of his glasses and his shoulders shimmy and sway under a blue-and-white striped, short-sleeved button-down shirt.

Popkin, who turned 80 on July 11, has been carrying tunes since he was just a year old and playing piano since he was 3, though his earliest musical memory came a few years later.

When he was 8 or 9, he went to see A Song To Remember, a 1945 biopic about

19th century Polish composer Frédéric Chopin where, in the vivid final scene, Chopin, dying of tuberculosis, coughs up scarlet blood all over the piano keys during a concert. About a week later, Popkin was walking on stage for his own recital when he felt a tingling in his nose. Young Arnie knew a nosebleed was nigh—so he kept his head tipped back through his entire pro-

By Raennah Lorne arts@c-ville.com

T

his week two different organizations are bringing together people from various backgrounds to look at our community through a creative lens. One event will take place in a moonlit warehouse while the other will be on the sunlit Rivanna River. Here’s what they’re all about.

Idea Factory 1740 Broadway St. September 29 Aidyn Mills, the donor relations manager for the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, has spent the last year and a half researching how to get people in their 20s, 30s and 40s—referred to as “next gen” —civically engaged in the community. A cultural anthropologist by training, Mills learned that while the demographic may not necessarily have excess financial resources, next geners don’t lack the enthusiasm, talent or time, “if directed in the right way.” Piggybacking on the CACF’s mission to help individuals “make thoughtful decisions about their philanthropy,” Mills has used her research to develop a program called Imagination Foundation that hits the sweet spot between structure and flexibility. The launch event, “Idea Factory,” will take place in a Woolen Mills warehouse and features an art installation by Claude Wampler and a sound installation by MICE. So what is it exactly? Mills says she wanted to educate the audience by using a format other than a PowerPoint presentation. The whole concept is based on drawing from the diverse talents, skills and perspectives all community members have to offer. “The basic foundation is creative collaboration,” Mills says. “How do we all work together in addressing or approaching specific social [and environmental] challenges?” For instance, she asks, “Have you ever thought of asking your local mailperson what they think of urban infrastructure? I mean, who else knows the lay of the ground better than a mailperson?”

Idea Factory is only the first in a series of events focused on creative collaboration.

There is no promise, Mills says, of solving all of our community’s problems in one night. “I think as organizations and institutions, for very good reason, we’re focused on outcomes and quantitative deliverables,” she says. “And I wanted to reside in the space of imagination for a while. I don’t think as a society we do that enough.”

Mills wanted a physical space that reflects this concept. Enter the empty warehouse.

“Already that first step is pushing the bounds of how we do things,” she says. “And that’s what I’m trying to encourage our community to do.” She compares the warehouse to a blank canvas. The act of people coming

FLOW is a new arts festival that combines creativity-in-action and a heightened awareness of the natural world. The festival takes place along the banks of the Rivanna River in Darden Towe Park and Riverview Park.

together, she says, paints a picture of “what a resilient community can look like.” Rather than focusing on quantifiable results, Mills says, “The fact that we can come together and think and practice empathy and listening and creative problem-solving and critical thinking—that to me is an achievement. Let’s celebrate that!”

FLOW Darden Towe Park/Riverview Park September 30 Deborah McLeod, director of Chroma Projects for the last 10 years, was brainstorming a collaboration with the county when Dan Mahon, outdoor recreation supervisor with Albemarle County Parks & Recreation, proposed an art project on the Rivanna River.

McLeod, who says, “I love the idea of going to the river, to see the river as a source of cleansing and a sacred aspect,” didn’t hesitate. The brainchild of McLeod and Mahon is FLOW, a dynamic art exhibition on and along the banks of the Rivanna that features a flotilla boat parade, art installations, live music, dance, theater, plein art painting and underwater photography.

The art installations both incorporate and represent their natural surroundings. Compared to typical art festivals, McLeod says, FLOW “is more conscious of environment.”

For instance, local sculptor Renee Balfour has sourced invasive vines collected by Rivanna Master Naturalists volunteers to create a bower that will drape into the current.

Alan Box Levine’s sculpture uses colored string to explore how trees communicate through their roots. Jum Jirapan will demonstrate suminagashi—a printmaking process that involves painting on water to create a marbleized effect—using silk fabric.

McLeod’s own sculpture, a literal interpretation of the riverbed, consists of a rusted bedframe supporting a makeshift aquarium.

Meanwhile, along the riverbank, painters will paint the landscape plein air. McLeod says, “It will be interesting for visitors to see how two people looking at the same view will see it very differently.” Musicians, including Terri Allard, Michael Clem and the Chapman Grove Gospel Singers, as well as Front Porch students and teachers, will perform. Local dancer Some’ Louis will both dance in the water and use it as a percussive instrument, while Katharine Birdsall will lead a dance group along the walking path. Actor Megan Hillary will perform a piece of theater about Queen Anne, the river’s namesake, and Alexandria Searls, executive director of the Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center, will demonstrate underwater photography in the Rivanna.

“The way it’s designed,” McLeod says, “is that you experience an art happening and then you go through nature and there’s nothing, so your sensitivity is heightened to nature and what to anticipate next.” FLOW’s sponsor, Rivanna Conservation Alliance, will have a booth, as well as the Rivanna Master Naturalists. “So it really is a confluence of art and nature,” McLeod says. “This is part of my hope that this is a kind of going to nature to be healed and to get some of this anguish out of our systems.”

Arnie Popkin was born the same day that pianist and “Rhapsody in Blue” and Porgy and Bess composer George Gershwin died: July 11, 1937. Popkin says when he shares that tidbit, the question of reincarnation immediately comes up, and he doesn’t have a “perfect answer.”

Popkin plays some Gershwin pieces but says he isn’t “overly crazy about it.” There are a few exceptions, though: “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” is one of his favorite songs. “It’s just gorgeous” he says.

his wife, Phyllis, and racking up another 33 years in the field before retiring in 2013.

All the while, Popkin gave more than a dozen concerts at UVA’s Cabell Hall, plus countless concerts at local retirement communities, churches and in his living room, on his own beloved Steinway piano.

Now, Popkin wakes up at about 6 o’clock every morning and meditates for half an hour before hopping on his recumbent bicycle. While pedaling, he often listens to music on YouTube or one of his five 160GB iPods, which hold about 20,000 songs apiece. After that, he’ll go about his day with his wife of 58 years (“You can quote me on this: It doesn’t seem a day over 57,” Popkin says), sometimes venturing down to the Paramount Theater for a concert. He likes to take naps, and he sits at his Steinway, often with his Shih Tzus Romeo and Lacy, to play music for a couple hours each day.

On October 1, he’ll play a free concert of 11 Chopin pieces at First Presbyterian Church—he says it was difficult to choose which ones to play because he loves so many of them. He plans to include Nocturne in D-flat Major and the Ballade No. 3 in A-flat Major and end on the famous Polonaise in A-flat Major—“that’s everybody’s favorite,” with its fast octaves at the end that sound “sort of like a horse, like the cavalry coming,” says Popkin. It’s a little harder to play now that he’s 80, but he can do it, and so he will.

“Playing music makes you happier. It makes you better in the rest of your life.”

And there’s something special about sharing that enrichment with others, says Popkin.

“When I’m playing piano, when I’m playing Chopin, it’s a group thing between Chopin and me and the audience. I’m not a showoff,” he says, laughing, “but if people love music, and you’re good and can do it,” it’s nice to share.

t’s unfortunate that Stronger is being seen by some as “the other Boston Marathon bombing movie” after the release of Patriots Day earlier this year. The comparison shouldn’t even be made, but just in case there are people who might not see Stronger due to the association, let’s debunk and move on.

The two could not be more dissimilar; Patriots Day is an intentionally dishonest exercise in authority worship that throws the stories of actual people and victims by the wayside (its lead character, Tommy Saunders, is a composite who happens to be instrumental in capturing the Tsarnaev brothers). Stronger is a thoughtful, factbased exploration of trauma and recovery, and the difficulty of moving on when everyone around you defines you by a single event that you only want to forget.

Stronger follows the story of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, resident Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal), who was at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon to cheer on his onagain-off-again girlfriend Erin (Tatiana

Maslany). If you don’t know his name, you certainly remember his face from the iconic photo of him being rescued from the explosion, having just lost both of his legs, with the help of Carlos Arredondo, the socalled “man in the cowboy hat.” He instantly became a symbol of resilience for a city desperate for good news, and the fact that his eyewitness testimony also led to the identification of the perpetrators made him a hero in the eyes of many—including his mother (Miranda Richardson in an award-worthy turn), whose desire for the world to see how strong and brave her son is often hurts Jeff more than it helps.

However, a hero is exactly what Jeff feels he is not. Several times, he asks why standing there getting his “legs blown off ” is something to be proud of. His first reaction to “Boston Strong,” the still-ubiquitous (and often monetized) slogan that arose in the wake of the attack, is to wonder what it even means. And as he’s taken to public appearances—Bruins games, his first rehabilitation session and many others—he comes closer and closer to reliving the worst day of his life. On a personal level, his immaturity and inability to show up when needed was a

primary reason Erin broke up with him in the first place. And the one time he does manage to show up is when this happens.

The pressure of needing to grow and recover at the same time, to be an unwilling figurehead when all he wants to do is hide, leads to the worsening of some pre-injury habits, especially his drinking.

Stronger R, 119 minutes Regal Stonefield 14 & IMAX, Violet Crown Cinema

Director David Gordon Green (George Washington, Prince Avalanche, Manglehorn) brings depth and insight into a straightforward narrative, and one that could have easily turned into the same cheap, meaningless inspiration that Jeff fought so hard not to be.

The standard Boston beats are there—Red Sox fandom, intertown rivalry, swearing and nosy families—but Green understands the emotional space they occupy in the minds of Massachusetts residents. (In case you can’t tell, I myself am a Boston resident.) Stronger is an affecting film, impressive not only for what it is, but for what it skillfully avoids being.

Stronger is a thoughtful, fact-based exploration of trauma and recovery, and the difficulty of moving on when everyone around you defines you by a single event that you only want to forget.

Madison Warlick was the MVP for her team in 2016, not only serving as the captain but also leading the team in kills (195), digs (274) and aces (53), as well as with a service percentage of 95.5.

Josie Mallory manages not only to juggle different sports but also excel at them. Last year, she was named to the first team Jefferson District and first team All-Conference 28/29 during the field hockey season, as well as selected for the second team Jefferson District for lacrosse after hitting the 20-goal mark for the season, when Monticello went to its first state tournament. And

she did it all while maintaining a 4.2 GPA. This year, she’s looking at a few big showcase tournaments (one in Orlando, one in Richmond) even as she visits college clinics and tackles the SAT. Mallory’s favorite memory playing field hockey was during a shootout at the end of a match. She was up to score when she heard her sister, Lexi, shout from the sidelines: “Do your move!” With that, “I knew that I was going to make it,” says Mallory. “The goalkeeper was reaching to stop it when it slammed and hit the backboard. At that moment I looked at my sister and smiled so big.”

Pre-match meal: Pasta or sushi Pre-match rituals: “I listen to music and think of my sister. I think about my sister because she calms me down when I am scared and gives me confidence to play for me and not anyone else.”

Piece of sports memorabilia: Field hockey Coach’s Award Role model: “My older sister, Lexi.”

Sugar rush

New candy shop opens on Fourth Street

By Erin O’Hare eatdrink@c-ville.com

Here’s some food for thought: What happens to the food chain when a major hurricane (or two, or three) hits? A whole lot, as you could have guessed, and we’re feeling small ripple effects here in Charlottesville.

Seafood @ West Main owner Chris Arsenault says that whenever oceans are churned up, as they are in a hurricanes, the seafood industry is affected. Tides change and stir up habitats for fish and other sea creatures, such as oysters, and high winds and waves make it difficult for fishermen to get out on the water. Hurricane Jose made oyster harvesting a bit more difficult in the Mid-Atlantic, Arsenault says, and Harvey dealt the tuna industry a pretty severe blow—a lot of tuna comes out of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, he says.

Standard Produce owner Bobby Ballard says the week after Hurricane Irma hit Florida and the Caribbean, it was more difficult to get certain items, such as asparagus, which is usually flown to the U.S. from Peru via Miami.

The Bradenton Herald, a southwest Florida newspaper, reports that Florida Citrus Mutual estimates Irma’s winds blew half of Florida’s citrus crop off trees and onto grove floors. The estimates are based on growers’ reports from across the state. And that’s just the fruit—Irma damaged or uprooted countless other trees and flooded groves. Ballard says the cost of a case of fresh-squeezed orange juice will go up a few bucks, but consumers will feel it only slightly—“It hasn’t hurt us too badly,” he says. Not nearly as much as the growers and producers themselves.

ust in time for Halloween, The Candy Store has opened at 114 Fourth St. SE (the space that formerly housed O’Suzannah, which moved to 320 E. Main St., next to Timberlake’s Drug Store and Soda Fountain), and the slightly sour sugary aroma is palpable even from the doorstep.

The Candy Store, with a second location in Roanoke, has stocked its Charlottesville shelves full of silver-lidded glass jars holding whatever your sweet tooth desires: a rainbow of rock candies, gumballs of all diameters, M&Ms in a variety of colors, edible Legosesque Candy Blox, Red Hots, Swedish Fish, Goetze’s caramel creams and Rademaker Hopjes coffee candies. Boxes of Marshmallow Madness cereal (for those who picked all the marshmallows out of their bowls of Lucky Charms), Jelly Belly jelly beans, Sour Patch Kids and Sour Power Quattro line the top shelves. Tables in the center hold boxes of Nintendo Wii gumballs, Kinder chocolate bars, giant candy necklaces, mega Dum Dum lollipops and so much more, including everyone’s arguably least favorite Halloween treat (the trick, really)—candy wax lips.

There are more than 3,000 different candies available in the store, says co-owner Lawson Jaeger, who’s a self-proclaimed “sucker for English toffee” and English candy in general (he stocks plenty of it).

Jaeger, who went to high school in the area, has always wanted to move back to Charlottesville, and this was his chance, he says while standing next to a 27-pound gummy bear and pointing out trays of slick-domed chocolates handmade in Floyd, Virginia.

We’re getting a cavity just thinking about it.

Senior at Albemarle High Sport: Rowing Emmy Wuensch, Albemarle captain, claimed second place in doubles rowing at the Scholastic Rowing Association of America national rowing competition last year. As she and her partner held up their medals for the celebratory pictures, she glanced over and saw her coach, Cathy Coffman. “I don’t think I had seen her so proud in my whole rowing career,” she says. “I thought, ‘This is why I do this sport.’”

In addition to that second place at nationals, Wuensch also took first place at the state-level competition. This year she looks forward to several more high-profile regattas as well as official college visits and, hopefully, a November signing.

Pre-match meal: Pasta and chicken Pre-match rituals: “Before we race my coach gives us a pep talk. We have to walk the oars down to the dock, and there are always team members or coaches that help us shove off the docks and tell us to have a good race.”

Piece of sports memorabilia: “I wear a necklace with an oar on it that my mom got me for my birthday after I decided that I definitely love rowing too much to not continue with it after high school.”

Role model: “My role model in my sport is Coach Coffman; she inspires me every day to push harder than I thought possible.”

Favorite subject: “Psychology, medical terminology, anatomy, really anything related to health sciences.”

Favorite moment: “Having to yell at another boat when coming around a sharp turn on a 5K course because the other boat was trying to cut us off and take the inside turn, and I was not going to let that happen. So I yelled, ‘Please. Move. Over!’ as loud as I could, and then because we took the inside turn, we passed three boats and took first place in The Chase regatta on the Occoquan.”

By Rob Brezsny

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to take extra good care of yourself during the next three weeks. Do whatever it takes to feel safe and protected and resilient. Ask for the support you need, and if the people whose help you solicit can’t or won’t give it to you, seek it elsewhere. Provide your body with more than the usual amount of healthy food, deep sleep, tender touch and enlivening movement. Go see a psychotherapist or counselor or good listener every single day if you want. And don’t you dare apologize or feel guilty for being such a connoisseur of self-respect and self-healing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A queen bee may keep mating until she gathers 70 million sperm from many different drones. When composing my horoscopes, I aim to cultivate a metaphorically comparable receptivity. Long ago I realized that all of creation is speaking to me all the time; I recognized that everyone I encounter is potentially a muse or teacher.

If I hope to rustle up the oracles that are precisely suitable for your needs, I have to be alert to the possibility that they may arrive from unexpected directions and surprising sources. Can you handle being that open to influence, Sagittarius? Now is a favorable time to expand your capacity to be fertilized.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re approaching a rendezvous with prime time. Any minute now you could receive an invitation to live up to your hype or fulfill your promises to yourself—or both. This test is likely to involve an edgy challenge that is both fun and daunting, both liberating and exacting. It will have the potential to either steal a bit of your soul or else heal an ache in your soul. To ensure the healing occurs rather than the stealing, do your best to understand why the difficulty and the pleasure are both essential.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1901, physician Duncan MacDougall carried out experiments that led him to conclude that the average human soul weighs 21 grams. Does his claim have any merit? That question is beyond my level of expertise. But if he was right, then I’m pretty sure your soul has bulked up to at least 42 grams in the past few weeks. The

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be realistic, Libra: Demand the impossible; expect inspiration; visualize yourself being able to express yourself more completely and vividly than you ever have before.

Believe me when I tell you that you now have extra power to develop your sleeping potentials, and are capable of accomplishing feats that might seem like miracles. You are braver than you know, as sexy as you need to be and wiser than you were two months ago. I am not exaggerating, nor am I flattering you. It’s time for you to start making your move to the next level. work you’ve been doing to refine and cultivate your inner state has been heroic. It’s like you’ve been ingesting a healthy version of soul-building steroids. Congrats!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There are enough authorities, experts and know-it-alls out there trying to tell you what to think and do. In accordance with current astrological factors, I urge you to utterly ignore them during the next two weeks. And do it gleefully, not angrily. Exult in the power that this declaration of independence gives you to trust your own assessments and heed your own intuitions.

Furthermore, regard your rebellion as good practice for dealing with the little voices in your head that speak for those authorities, experts and know-it-alls. Rise up and reject their shaming and criticism, too. Shield yourself from their fearful fantasies.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Conceptual artist Jonathon Keats likes to play along with the music of nature. On one occasion he collaborated with Mandeville Creek in Montana. He listened and studied the melodies that emanated from its flowing current. Then he moved around some of the underwater rocks, subtly changing the creek’s song. Your assignment, Aries, is to experiment with equally imaginative and exotic collaborations. The coming weeks will be a time when you can make beautiful music together with anyone or anything that tickles your imagination.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Some newspapers publish regular rectifications of the mistakes they’ve made in past editions. For example, the editors of the British publication The Guardian once apologized to readers for a mistaken statement

about Richard Wagner. They said that when the 19th-century German composer had trysts with his chambermaid, he did not in fact ask her to wear purple underpants, as previously reported. They were pink underpants.

I tell you this, Taurus, as encouragement to engage in corrective meditations yourself.

Before bedtime on the next 10 nights, scan the day’s events and identify any actions you might have done differently—perhaps with more integrity or focus or creativity. This will have a deeply tonic effect. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll flourish as you make amendments and revisions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): It’s high time to allow your yearnings to overflow...to surrender to the vitalizing pleasures of nonrational joy...to grant love the permission to bless you and confound you with its unruly truths. For inspiration, read this excerpt of a poem by Caitlyn Siehl. “My love is honey tongue.

Thirsty love. My love is peach juice dripping down the neck. Too much sugar love. Sticky sweet, sticky sweat love. My love can’t ride a bike. My love walks everywhere. Wanders through the river. Feeds the fish, skips the stones. Barefoot love. My love stretches itself out on the grass, kisses a nectarine. My love is never waiting. My love is a traveler.”

Cancer (June 21-July 22): One of the oldest houses in Northern Europe is called the Knap of Howar. Built out of stone around 3,600 B.C., it faces the wild sea on Papa Westray, an island off the northern coast of Scotland. Although no one has lived there for 5,000 years, some of its stone furniture remains intact. Places like this will have a symbolic power for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. They’ll tease your imagination and provoke worthwhile

fantasies. Why? Because the past will be calling to you more than usual. The old days and old ways will have secrets to reveal and stories to teach. Listen with alert discernment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The United States has a bizarre system for electing its president.

There’s nothing like it in any other democratic nation on Earth. Every four years, the winning candidate needs only to win the electoral college, not the popular vote. So theoretically, it’s possible to garner just 23 percent of all votes actually cast, and yet still ascend to the most powerful political position in the world. For example, in two of the last five elections, the new chief of state has received significantly fewer votes than his main competitor. I suspect that you may soon benefit from a comparable anomaly, Leo. You’ll be able to claim victory on a technicality. Your effort may be ugly, yet good enough to succeed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I found this advertisement for a workshop: “You will learn to do the INCREDIBLE! Smash bricks with your bare hands! Walk on fiery coals unscathed! Leap safely off a roof! No broken bones! No cuts!

No pain! Accomplish the impossible first!

Then everything else will be a breeze!” I bring this to your attention, Virgo, not because I think you should sign up for this class or anything like it. I hope you don’t. In fact, a very different approach is preferable for you: I recommend that you start with safe, manageable tasks. Master the simple details and practical actions. Work on achieving easy, low-risk victories. In this way, you’ll prepare yourself for more epic efforts in the future.

Q&A What should incoming UVA President Jim Ryan’s top priorities be?

Insist all UVA students be educated in the TRUE history of the United States and the greatest constitution in this world of ours. Then maybe, just maybe, they will stop such stupid things like trying to disassociate UVA with Thomas Jefferson.

Ending the university’s abdication of housing students to end the pressure put on traditionally African-American neighborhoods near UVA. @UVAMAGGIE/TWITTER

Living wage.

Living wage for employees and contracted employees with the university.

You mean, “What should his top priorities be after raising money?”

Continuous diversity and racism training for senior faculty and staff. Not just an annual trainer and presenter, but mandatory diversity training at least twice a year for ALL employees but especially senior managers and HR.

“We” should not be asking him this. For $750K base a year he should be telling us what his goals are and how he intends to accomplish those goals.

Diversity comes to mind, and take a stand on college affordability.

Resisting the antieducation conservatives and advocating for a society that values dialogue.

Question should be what is #2 priority.

Because #1 is not negotiable for university presidents (fundraising).
