Last week’s story, “Shifting ground: The General Assembly is now in session,” incorrectly identified Bob Gibson as co-chair of OneVirginia2021: Virginians for fair redistricting. Gibson is co-chair of an advisory panel for One Virginia2021 with former lieutenant governor Bill Bolling. In “Dirty Diapers: Daycare provider will go to grand jury,” we incorrectly stated that family day home operators caring for more than four children could be voluntarily registered or state licensed. This type of daycare cannot be voluntarily registered and must be licensed.

McAuliffe’s greatest hits—and misses

IN BRIEF We’re on edge

A photo of two thick brown ropes with eyelet holes hanging in front of the Central Library on the night of Friday, January 12, was picked up by multiple outlets—including C-VILLE Weekly—and circulated widely before police confirmed that the ominous ropes were rigging for the banners that go across East Market Street and not, in fact, nooses.

New editor The Daily Progress has named Aaron Richardson its editor-in-chief. The former assistant city editor and reporter at the Progress has also reported for Charlottesville Tomorrow, and succeeds Wes Hester, who stuck it out for 15 months before taking a job as a deputy spokesperson for UVA.

Oh, hoppy day JOHN ROBINSON

Lock your doors

When Terry McAuliffe first ran for governor in 2009, many saw him as a carpetbagger with stronger ties to the Clintons than to the commonwealth. Despite being edged out in the Democratic primary by state Senator Creigh Deeds, McAuliffe ran again and won the governor’s mansion in 2013, and even won the grudging respect of some of the Republicans who controlled the General Assembly during his term—but not all. Vetoing a record 120 bills, many on social issues, probably didn’t help.

As Governor Ralph Northam begins his term, we took a look back on the record of the man whose name keeps popping up as a Dem presidential candidate for 2020—along with another Virginian, Senator Tim Kaine—and who kept touting accomplishments right up through the morning of Northam’s inauguration.

City police say they’ve taken several reports from people in the Rosser Lane, Blue Ridge, Hessian and Rugby Road areas who say their unlocked vehicles were ransacked between 11pm and 4am late January 14 and early January 15. In one case, cash was stolen.

The first black female mayor of Charlottesville sat at the table with co-hosts of “The View” on Martin Luther King Day to discuss the current state of the city, which has pushed a narrative that Unite the Right participants brought their hate from out of town, she said. Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler are UVA alumni, Walker noted. “You have to be honest to move forward and we have been unwilling.”

Dire straits Business association wants $250,000 for mall recovery

he Downtown Mall is not faring well, at least according to the Downtown Business Association of Charlottesville, which wants the city to pump up the maintenance and provide DBAC with $250,000 for advertising, staff, rent and holiday lighting.

Business in the entire city of Charlottesville dropped $14 million—nearly 12 percent—compared to the first three quarters of 2016, the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce reports. And while August 12 is cited as a reason people aren’t coming downtown, so is parking, shoddy maintenance and safety concerns.

DBAC chair Joan Fenton points to the bricks on the mall that are sticking up and hazardous, despite the city’s $7.5 million rebricking project in 2009. “It’s an easy maintenance,” she says. “You need someone who knows what they’re doing.”

Lighting is another big concern and the “biggest complaint from employees walking at night,” she says.

Fenton wrote a letter to City Manager Maurice Jones and City Council January 2 asking for increased mall funding in the upcoming budget for fiscal year 2019. She says the city’s budget has grown 17 percent over the past four years while the mall’s maintenance has declined 20 percent.

And Fenton is being vigilant about the budget after a walk on the mall last spring with city department heads. “I pointed out that the plants look awful,” she says. “[Assistant City Manager] Mike Murphy said I should have paid attention to the budget.”

The DBAC letter has a laundry list of wants: Seven-day-a-week policing, particularly at 2am when bars close, cameras, trash cans and public restrooms. The business association wants the city to hire a person to oversee mall decisions and an extra staffer to maintain and clean the mall as well as West Main to the Corner and side streets.

And it wants the city to provide $100,000 for DBAC to hire its own staffer and to pay rent for an office, along with $100,000 for advertising and $50,000 for lighting and decorations as part of the mall recovery program.

Felony masks Charges dropped for protesters at KKK rally

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

EZE AMOS

T

hree people charged with wearing a mask at the July 8 KKK rally in Justice Park were in Charlottesville General District Court today, where the prosecution dismissed their felony charges because tear gas used by police could have been a factor in why they covered their faces.

Diego Trujillo, from Charlottesville, Sarah Barner from Waynesboro and Naomi Bendersky from Montgomery Village, Maryland, were each charged with the Class 6 felony that can carry up to five years in jail.

Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nina Antony told the judge Virginia code prohibits masks worn with the intent to conceal the identity of the wearer. She said police officers saw the three walking toward them. “Fearing an escalation, they arrested these individuals,” she said, adding that the officers had “ample probable cause.”

After the 40 or so Klan members left the July rally, police declared an unlawful assembly, ordered everyone to leave and then fired tear gas into the crowd of those still on High Street, which was closed.

“The use of tear gas beforehand” could have been a reason they covered their faces, acknowledged Antony. “The commonwealth does not have proof beyond a reasonable doubt these individuals were trying to conceal their identities.”

Judge Bob Downer, who has had all the KKK and the August 12 Unite the Right ar-

Many protesters at the July KKK rally covered their faces after police used tear gas.

“I don’t think they should have been arrested. They were arrested because they didn’t follow orders.

The tear gas should never have been used.”JEFF FOGEL

Indivisible Charlottesville threw an early retirement party January 11 for Republican Congressman Tom Garrett, who has not been popular with many of his Democratic constituents here. Ken Horne had a card for Garrett that listed the top five reasons he should retire, including the prediction that he would be fired anyway in this year’s midterm elections. And there was cake.

And many happy returns

rests go through his court, commended the prosecution for dropping the charges. “I think it’s well-founded and appropriate” to use discretion in such cases.

The defendants declined to comment after the hearing.

Attorney Jeff Fogel, who represented Bendersky, complimented new Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania, whom Fogel challenged last year in the June Democratic primary, for deciding to nolle prosequi the charges.

However, “I don’t think they should have been arrested,” he said. “They were arrested because they didn’t follow orders. The tear gas should never have been used.”

Bendersky “took out a T-shirt and put it over her face” when the tear gas was fired, he said. “To be arrested for trying to protect yourself?”

Bendersky’s family is from the Soviet Union, and Fogel says they fled because her father was a dissident. She’s 18 and just started at VCU. “This was her first demonstration,” he said.

The law originally was written to prevent KKK members from marching masked in public, but Fogel said the people who tend to get arrested under the statute usually aren’t Klansmen.

“I think it’s written wrong,” said Fogel of the mask-wearing law. Rather than citing intent to conceal one’s identity, he said it should target “intent to intimidate.”

Another case from the KKK rally was continued to January 19. Jordan Romeo from Roanoke is charged with assaulting an officer, a felony, disorderly conduct and misdemeanor assault, the latter complaint brought by frequent City Council critic John Heyden.

of 2016 distanced the center from DBAC, and CPC owner Mark Brown sued the city and threatened to close Water Street Parking Garage, which he owns with the city.

Spring Street Boutique owner Cynthia Schroeder, a DBAC member who also started the Downtown Business Alliance, says more mall maintenance is warranted, particularly with the city’s $9 million surplus, but she is skeptical about the DBAC request.

“I would think a quarter million dollars with $100,000 for salaries is a bit high,” she says.

She supports a marketing plan to bring locals back downtown, and not just for onetime, alcohol-themed events like this fall’s Heal C-ville Beer Garden.

“Locals have a bad perception of the mall,” she says—that it’s “dangerous, dirty and filled with homeless people asking for money.”

Chamber of Commerce head Timothy Hulbert suggests there’s another big reason city revenues are down from a year ago. “Last September, last October, there was no 5th Street Station,” he says. And while the Unite the Right rally could be a factor, so could the weather or the timing of football games.

“A month or a quarter doesn’t make a trend.”

North downtown resident Pat Napoleon, who is petitioning to remove three city councilors remaining from last year, says areas near the mall like Emancipation Park are filthy. “I don’t think it’s an inviting place.”

With erosion at the park, people sleeping there and a proliferation of cigarette butts tossed on the ground, she says, “A lot of people feel uncomfortable. It’s not a cleanlooking place.”

Napoleon doesn’t think the city needs to give money to DBAC for staffing. “When I hear about a surplus, I think the city needs to use it more wisely. I think downtown business people need to put screws to the city.”

Former city spokesperson Miriam Dickler says of DBAC’s request, “There has been no decision on this. The budget is in process.

Like all requests, this will be considered.”

Vice-Mayor Heather Hill says the request has to be evaluated against other priorities, but safety—of surfaces and lighting and cameras—are infrastructure expenditures “I’d certainly consider.”

Fenton wants the Downtown Mall to be in its own business improvement district, and says that appeared possible until commercial property assessments skyrocketed last year. “Once taxes increased, there was no way you could ask people to pay extra,” she says.

Because the mall is an income generator, she says the city should be investing in it.

“People don’t drive from Northern Virginia to go to Barracks Road,” she says. “When UVA has new faculty prospects, they bring them to the Downtown Mall.”

Word on the mall is that some businesses are struggling. “If there isn’t a strong effort, I think we’re going to see a lot of businesses close,” says Schroeder. “The Downtown Mall clearly needs the support.”

Spring Street had busy days this fall, she says, but she will continue to re-evaluate her business. “When you put your heart and soul into something and traffic is down because of where you are...” She leaves the alternatives unspoken.

TRIAL DATES SET FOR UNITE THE RIGHT COUNTERPROTESTERS

@cvillenews_desk facebook.com/cville.weekly

About 40 community activists with signs that demanded prosecutors “drop the charges” gathered outside Charlottesville General District Court ahead of hearings scheduled for DeAndre Harris and Corey Long on January 10.

But in both instances, Judge Robert Downer set trial dates for the men who have remained in the spotlight since their summer arrests for incidents during the Unite the Right rally.

Long, charged with disorderly conduct and assault, and best known as the man with the homemade “flamethrower” pointed at a camo-clad white nationalist in an iconic August 12 photo, declined to comment after his hearing. He’ll be back in court April 17 for his trial.

And Harris, the victim of a bloody beatdown in the Market Street Parking Garage that day, who is charged with misdemeanor assault and battery from the same incident, will go to trial March 16.

The same day Harris’ case was continued here, he picked up two additional misdemeanor charges in Southampton County when he was stopped for speeding.

According to the Newsplex, an officer said he smelled pot, and when he searched the car, he found a loaded AR-15. Harris is charged with carrying a concealed weapon and transporting a loaded weapon.—Samantha Baars

Fabric of a resistance The thread of the craftivism movement uses familiar materials to make bold statements

S

even hours and 10 minutes into the new year, a Subaru station wagon pulls out of a Charlottesville driveway and sets out for Lovingston, exhaust billowing from the muffler pipe into the frigid air. The dashboard says the outside temperature is 9 degrees Fahrenheit.

As the car zips down 29 South, a creamy orange-yellow dawn creeps forth from the horizon, slowly overtaking the fading night sky. The new light casts a pink glow on the frost twinkling on the bare trees and brittle brown shrubs on the roadside, and minimizes the effect of a lit plastic Nativity scene standing at the edge of a lawn.

Her puffy winter coat swishing against the back of the front passenger seat, Ms. Smith half-turns around to talk to her friend, Ms. Lane, who sits in the back. They lament the closing of Sprouse’s Furniture in

North Garden, and talk about attending political protests like the Equal Rights Amendment marches in Washington, D.C., during the 1970s and ’80s before the conversation shifts to the task at hand.

Here’s the deal, Smith tells Lane: The gray stone statue of a Confederate soldier that stands outside the Nelson County Circuit Courthouse in Lovingston was put up in 1965—just a year after the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and around the same time Nelson County began desegregating its schools.

Smith and Lane are contributors to The Kudzu Project, a new guerrilla knitting activism project that seeks to call attention to the history of Confederate monuments throughout Virginia by encouraging people to consider and question their relevance.

They do so by temporarily covering the monuments, one at a time, with a shroud of knitted kudzu.

The Kudzu Project was inspired by “Defunct Monument I – Racism,” a drawing by artist Dave Loewenstein that shows a statue on a pedestal that has been overtaken by green vines. Smith says she’d been trying to think of a way to intervene with the statues using knitting—she’s an avid knitter—and when she saw Loewenstein’s drawing, she thought immediately of the visual similarities between vines and yarn.

She also thought of kudzu, the invasive, often destructive vine that grows rampant throughout the South. According to the Nature Conservancy, once established, kudzu can grow a foot per day, and a single mature kudzu vine can be up to 100 feet long. The vines damage and kill other plants by

WHAT IS CRAFTIVISM? Perhaps you’ve already guessed: craftivism = craft + activism. Craft and social and political activism have been intertwined for centuries (at least), but Betsy Greer is credited with coining and popularizing the term in 2003. Greer defines craftivism as “a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper and your quest for justice more infinite.”

smothering them with solid blankets of chubby, three-lobed leaves and curl around stems and trunks to the point where they can uproot entire trees and shrubs. Kudzu creeps across untilled fields and up the sides of abandoned barns; it climbs up telephone poles and tears down trees. As Smith points out, it grows over that which is neglected and forgotten.

When the Subaru pulls up to the Nelson County Circuit Court, Smith, Lane and a third Kudzu Project participant—who aren’t trespassing, because this is public property—work quickly. They lay the shroud, a large piece of netting to which hundreds of knitted kudzu vines and leaves have been sewn, on the grass in front of the statue, then carefully lift it onto the statue using two extendable poles with hooks attached to one end. Once the shroud is in place, they snap photos to post to the Kudzu Project website and to include in press releases sent to local media outlets, then gingerly remove the shroud. They work deftly, frosty leaves crunching beneath their feet. Before they head back to the car, Ms. Smith drapes a lone strand of knitted kudzu over the soldier’s stony arm.

The idea behind the lone strand is that from one kudzu vine, many others can grow.

From one flash installation, perhaps one person’s view on the statues can change.

The whole shrouding takes about three minutes, start to finish.

“Next stop: Amherst!” Ms. Smith says when everyone is back in the Subaru and headed to the Amherst County Courthouse, where they’ll temporarily cover an obelisk erected by Lost Cause valorizers United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1922, during the Jim Crow era, when a codified system of racial segregation dominated life in the American South.

The Kudzu Project originated in Charlottesville, and while its concept and execution is unique, its use of crafting to make social and political statements is not. The Kudzu Project and a few other local needlework hobbyists—knitters, crocheters, stitchers— are part of a growing global (and, thanks to social media, more visible) niche phenomenon called craftivism.

ergy into the domestic arts (sewing, embroidery, quilting, knitting, etc.), have long used crafts to advocate for social change, says Markus. And while craftivism as it exists right now isn’t a women-only movement— there are plenty of men and non-binary people participating—its history is very tied to the domestic sphere, a place usually inhabited by women.

During the French Revolution, women called the tricoteuses (“tricoteuse” is French for “knitting woman”) sat beside the guillotines during public executions in Paris, all the while knitting, among other things, the “bonnet rouge,” a wearable symbol of freedom and the pursuit of liberty. Remember the radical revolutionary Madame Defarge from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities? She’s a tricoteuse, using different sequences of stitches to encrypt in her knitting the names of aristocrats to be executed at the guillotine.

In 1912, while jailed in London’s Holloway prison for her active (and sometimes militant) participation in the women’s suffrage movement in England, Janie Terrero embroidered on a handkerchief a record of her im-

prisonment—the details of her own arrest and sentencing, the names of other incarcerated Suffragettes, particulars of their hunger strikes, treatment by guards and more. Because needlework was considered a women’s

leisure activity and not a potential political 15 act, Holloway prisoners were allowed to knit and embroider in silence. Terrero likely stitched right under the guards’ noses, defiantly chronicling an experience that, had it not been recorded, might otherwise have been left out of history.

Between 2003 and 2008, textile artist Cat Mazza and fiber hobbyists from more than 40 countries created the Nike Blanket Petition, in which they knitted and crocheted hundreds of “anti-sweatshop” squares to create a 15-foot-wide blanket of the Nike swoosh logo. The piece, which demonstrated how much work goes into creating textiles, petitioned for fair labor policies for Nike garment workers.

And then there’s the ubiquitous pussyhat, the bright pink, cat-eared knitted cap that is the most visible recent example of craftivism; it even made the cover of Time magazine’s February 8, 2017 issue. The Pussyhat Project began in November 2016 with the aim of providing a visual statement—a sea of bright pink hats—of activism in support CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

THE KUDZU PROJECT

“Defunct Monument I - Racism,” a drawing by artist Dave Loewenstein (top), inspired local knitters to start the Kudzu Project, which uses flash installations of kudzu created from yarn to call attention to the oft-obscured history of Confederate monuments they hope will eventually be removed. A Southern Poverty Law Center study reports that there are at least 1,500 Confederate monuments in public spaces throughout the U.S., including more than 200 in Virginia. So far, the Kudzu Project has draped knitted vines over (clockwise from above) the Robert E. Lee High School sign in Staunton; the obelisk outside the Augusta County Courthouse; and the Confederate soldier statues outside the Albemarle and Nelson county courthouses. With City Council’s permission, the group would like to similarly cover the statues in Charlottesville’s Emancipation and Justice parks, but is currently prevented from doing so by orange fencing and “No Trespassing” signs.

Craftivism—mostly simply defined as craft plus activism—is “a very gentle form of protest,” says Sandra Markus, a professor of fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City who is writing a doctoral dissertation on the intersection of craftivism, feminism and new media. But gentle doesn’t necessarily mean weak.

A political or social message displayed in yarn, fabric or thread—materials used to make sweaters, mittens, quilts and declarations of “Home Sweet Home”—is still a charged message. But when materials used to make that statement are familiar, approachable, less threatening, it’s perhaps a more accepted, or acceptable, version of protest, says Markus. It’s not throwing a rock through a window or graffiti-tagging a wall.

Because of that, Markus says she’s “beginning to think that ultimately, [craftivism] might be a more powerful conduit for change than more violent ways of protest.”

Women, who were historically excluded from most fine art academies and were instead encouraged to put their creative en-

AILEEN BARTELS

Over the past year, Aileen Bartels has knitted and posted around town at least 25 banners with varying messages, including “Resist,” “Lordy I hope there are tapes,” (left) “Black Lives Matter” and “KKK Go Away” (above right), and “She resisted and persisted.” She tied “No Trump” (below right) to a tree on Capitol Hill during the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, D.C., where someone later safety-pinned a “solidarity” patch to it.

of women’s rights at the January 21, 2017, women’s marches that took place all over the world. Knitters could follow a pattern from the Pussyhat Project website, knitting caps for themselves and their friends, even mailing them to strangers who didn’t know how to knit but wanted to wear a hat. The hot pink hats were certainly noticeable and empowering to many, but the project has been criticized as a form of empty activism aimed at, or at least taken over by, cisgender (people whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth) white women who want to feel like they’re enacting real change without risking much, and for excluding certain groups of people—such as women of color and transgender women—from its narrative.

“I guess knitting one pussyhat in isolation doesn’t do much,” says Markus. “But engaging in craftivism and engaging in the dialogue that surrounds it can change a lot.”

Good yarn

Craftivists use their work to call attention to a variety of issues, and for the Kudzu Project, that issue is the history of Confederate monuments (statues, schools, streets, buildings) inhabiting public spaces in Virginia and across the U.S. Its members are particularly interested in monuments sitting outside of courthouses: What sort of message does that send about the law?, Lane asks.

About a dozen people make up the core of the Kudzu Project, but they’ve received hundreds of leaves from knitters locally and in many states, mailed to a post office box that Smith set up to help maintain anonymity and keep the project focused not on the people involved but on the issue at hand.

In covering up monuments with knitted kudzu, the project’s knitters do not advocate

for hiding the past, but rather stripping away contrived narratives that obscure the details of the true intent of the monuments themselves, Smith says.

The Kudzu Project draped its first statue, the Confederate soldier outside the Albemarle County Courthouse in Charlottesville, on November 9, 2017, the rainy morning “Crying Nazi” Christopher Cantwell was in court for a preliminary hearing on three felony charges (two of which were thrown out). They covered the statue—another United Daughters of the Confederacy effort, erected in 1909—early in the morning, then left the scene to get coffee. In the few minutes they were gone, a man came along and pulled the knitted kudzu-covered net down and stuffed it in a nearby garbage can. When the Kudzu Project knitters returned, they fished the soggy shroud out of the trash.

The guerrilla knitters had draped an extra strand over the soldier’s rifle, as it was the only thing not covered by the shroud. Coincidentally, this was the only thing the detractor did not remove from the statue, and so the single strand remained.

A little after 9am, the man notified police of the knitted kudzu draped over the statue.

According to a statement on the incident issued by Albemarle County Police, the yarn was removed and the statue was inspected for damage. The process took about 10 minutes, and “no damage to the statue was evident.”

When recalling the details of that first Kudzu Project installation, Lane can’t help

but think of how the man who tossed their work in the trash unknowingly (and likely unwillingly) helped crystallize the Kudzu Project’s activity. Smith and Lane say he helped them realize that a flash installation works better—cover the monument just long enough to take pictures for the Kudzu Project’s online gallery. They’re particularly grateful for his accidental invention of the symbolic lone strand that the knitters now leave behind on every monument they visit. So far, in addition to the Albemarle, Nelson and Amherst courthouses, they’ve also visited Robert E. Lee High School in Staunton and draped the school’s sign.

With each installation, the Kudzu Project posts photos of the temporarily covered monument along with a paragraph or so of information about that particular monument’s origins—when it was erected, why it was erected, plus the messages inscribed on bases and in plaques—so that people can understand what is not necessarily evident to the eye alone. The posts also include links and citations to scholarly sources in order to encourage broader, deeper reading on the topic.

On social media and elsewhere, some people have called the Kudzu Project’s work an act of vandalism. But the yarn itself doesn’t physically alter or damage the stone and metal monuments—it leaves not a mark behind. “Some people think it’s defacing the statues, but it couldn’t be a softer way of putting a message out there,” says Smith.

The Kudzu Project isn’t the only craft-asactivism project to appear in Charlottesville in recent months.

During the summer of 2016, lifelong Belmont resident Rabia Magee began wrapping tree trunks and branches with colorful, crocheted tubes of yarn. The practice, known as yarn bombing, is a popular form of street art around the world (particularly in Europe) that intends to embellish—not vandalize— a space with a bit of temporary color. Some yarn bombers, like Magee, tie strands around telephone poles, tree branches or bike racks while others hang small crafted ornaments from trees or doorways.

“She made all of Belmont Park into an art installation,” says Aileen Bartels, another longtime Belmont resident and avid knitter who admired the work for months. “It inspired me to think, and it occurred to me that you can [use yarn] to send a message,” she adds.

Bartels learned to knit when she was about 6 years old—she asked her grandmother, an expert in knitting stylish Barbie clothes, among other things—to teach her how. More recently, she’s made intricately patterned mittens, slippers and sweaters.

After Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016, she was upset; she was angry. Bartels says that though she’s a Democrat, she respects Republicans and people who hold beliefs that are different from her own, but the election and inauguration of a president who profits from his office and is an acknowledged sexual predator, she says, is something to resist. She’d been making intricately patterned mittens, slippers and sweaters, but, with Magee’s Belmont Park yarnbombing in mind, she wanted to use yarn to make a statement.

By New Year’s Day 2017, Bartels tied her first resistance banner to a tree at the corner of Avon Street and Druid Avenue in Belmont. Fixed around a thick branch, it said, in golden yellow letters on a black background, “Resist Trump.”

Knitting before and after work during the week, and in spare time on the weekends, Bartels started making banners of various sizes. She maps each one out on a piece of graph paper, where each square represents a single stitch, then refers back to the pattern as she goes. Depending on the banner size and length—some of them have been four feet long—each one takes Bartels between a week and two weeks to complete.

Bartels says the process is therapeutic— the act of knitting is “almost like a meditation…your brain can unravel a little. It’s a way of dealing with the stress and at the same time you feel like you’re doing something, however small.”

She knitted banners for the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., tying them to signposts, trees and lampposts all over Capitol Hill as she walked toward the National Mall with a group of fellow marchers who’d taken a bus up from Charlottesville. When the march was over, they retraced their steps to the bus, and Bartels noticed that someone had safety pinned a small green and white

Fourth Street SE, where Heather Heyer was killed and more than a dozen others were injured when James Alex Fields Jr. drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters during the white supremacist rally on August 12. Not long after Bartels installed the banner, in November, the signpost was covered with a plastic black coating. But Bartels notes, with palpable excitement, that whoever coated the post Throughout history, the domestic arts have been used to make political and social statements, some more radical than others. In Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, the French revolutionary Madame Defarge encodes in her knitting the names of aristocrats to be executed. She’s a fictional character, but it’s true that women of the era sat near the guillotine, knitting among other things the “bonnet rouge,” a wearable symbol of liberty and freedom, between executions.

took care to remove the knitted banner before doing so and tied it back on when the job was done.

Getting crafty

Ms. Gibbs, a longtime Staunton resident, is one of the people who’s been affected by local craftivist activity. Gibbs’ family has deep Virginia roots: Two of her great-grandfathers fought on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War; one was an officer who was with Lee at Appomattox and another was a quartermaster, responsible for delivering supplies to troops.

“To my knowledge, they were good men,” Gibbs says. “I had some respect for these men.” So when her daughter started knitting for the Kudzu Project, Gibbs says she was “offended. My feelings were hurt. I felt like she was attacking my heritage, and her heritage. It distressed me. And I went around for a week, angry about it, not understanding where she was coming from at all and not wanting my ancestors to be demonized.”

But when she started talking with her daughter about the statues and began seeking more history on the Confederacy, the Civil War and Confederate monuments— particularly the work of Mary Baldwin University history professor Clayton Brooks and University of Richmond president (and former UVA professor) Ed Ayres—she was surprised by what she learned, particularly that many of the Confederate statues and memorials were erected during the Jim Crow era with the aim of intimidating African-American people. Gibbs, who is in her

Partly inspired by Bartels’ work, Rabia Magee began stitching her own fabric-and-thread banners in summer 2017. They contained messages like “Disarm Hate” and “Love Wins” and she tied them to trees and posts in advance of the July 8 Ku Klux Klan and the August 12 Unite the Right rallies.

C’VILLE’S HEARTS After the Unite the Right Rally on August 12 left three dead and many others injured, Laughing Sheep Yarn organized the Hearts for Cville project, requesting knitted and crocheted hearts that would be put up around the city, “demonstrating that love defeats hate. If you see one, take it home with you as a reminder that we are unified in love in Charlottesville,” says the project’s Facebook page.

Knitters and crocheters from near (Harrisonburg) and far (Texas, California, Kentucky and New Hampshire) sent in boxes of hearts of all colors, and the yarn shop strung a garland of hearts at the August 26 memorial for Heather Heyer on Fourth Street SE.

RABIA MAGEE

wore in the 1970s to protest the Vietnam War. “If somebody sees it, and they stop and think about what it says, it’s served its purpose.”

Magee has made between 40 and 50 banners and Bartels has made about 25, but at press time, only a few remained in place, including Magee’s “Love Wins” on Hinton Avenue and a weather-worn “Stand Strong” on Water Street, and Bartels’ “She resisted and persisted” surrounding a thick-trunked tree in Belmont Park, plus another near the intersection of Cherry Avenue and Roosevelt Brown Boulevard in Fifeville.

“That’s the way of these things. They disappear very quickly,” says Magee, who has found some of her fabric banners stuffed into trash cans only hours after she put them up. She frequently drives by her banners to see which ones survive, and she’s noticed that anything close to Emancipation and Justice parks are removed especially quickly. More than once, she’s dug a banner out of a nearby trash can and put it back up… only to have it disappear again hours later.

Both Bartels and Magee, who are also careful not to trespass and to display their banners only in public spaces, are almost certain that many of their banners are taken down by people who don’t agree with the message, or by those who “just don’t like the idea of unsolicited art in public places,” says Bartels. Perhaps others take them down to display at home. Still others, they suspect, might remove the banners for fear that the yarn will somehow damage the trees.

Bartels’ latest work is a banner that says “Heather” stitched in white on a purple background, tied it to a metal signpost on

early 80s, says this was completely new in- 17 formation to her—she never learned it at home or in school—and upon finding out more, she found her perspective shifting.

“I did, in fact, feel like I was an owl, and that my head turned completely around,” she says. “This has proved to me that openness is absolutely important to any sort of progress.”

It’s as if “we’ve made up our minds,” she says, “and if we’re closed to any other way of looking at things, we’ll never be able to reconcile.”

Now, when she thinks about her Civil War veteran great-grandfathers, she says she maintains a level of respect for them and that she has a more nuanced, complex understanding of what their lives might have been like. “I’m not letting them off, but I think we have to take into consideration the culture,” she says. By that same token, she says we have to consider the culture that allowed the monuments to be erected, and reconsider whether we want to perpetuate that culture in the present and in the future.

Gibbs, like so many other women, learned to knit from her grandmother when she was a little girl. Though she mostly knits prayer shawls for her church, in the past couple of months, she’s knitted piles of green-hued leaves and vines for the Kudzu Project.

Markus says that her research has led her to believe that craftivism is changing the way people (women especially) participate in a democracy. “We really believe that there is a way to have our voices heard at a very grassroots level now, and that we can be active participants in our democracy. The combination of craftivism and new media is really lending to new modes of civic engagement in a way we really haven’t seen before.”

Much like a single sweater is made from thousands of knitted stitches, Markus expects this shift to happen incrementally, as a craftivist’s work is largely done on an individual level, just as every sweater begins with a single stitch.

“solidarity” patch to one of her “No Trump” banners—the banner had been noticed; it had served its purpose.

In February, Bartels tied another banner, this time “Resist” knitted in white on a black background, to a signpost at a certain local winery. It was taken down quickly, but it only made Bartels want to create more. A purple “Resist” went up on a telephone pole on Garrett Street. She tacked “She was warned, she was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” to a board on the Landmark hotel frame on the Downtown Mall.

For the Ku Klux Klan rally in July, Bartels knitted another series of banners (“Black Lives Matter,” “KKK Go Away,” among others), and intended to put them up around Justice Park. When she arrived to tie them to trees the morning of the rally, the police turned her away, saying that signs in the park could raise tensions and encourage conflict. Bartels was struck by the strangeness of the fact that people could bring guns to the rally, but she wasn’t allowed to hang a knitted sign.

She put them up in the surrounding neighborhood instead.

Bartels doesn’t knit under the illusion that her banners will actually get Trump impeached, or stop the KKK from coming to Charlottesville: “What I hope it accomplishes is that, people who maybe aren’t engaged in what’s going on will become engaged.”

The combined effect of spotting Bartels’ knitted banners around town and seeing a bumper sticker that read “Do something,” propelled Magee—whose work inspired Bartels in the first place—to craft once again. But this time, she didn’t make colorful, abstract tree adornments; she wanted to say something specific.

In July and August 2017, Magee sewed burlap strips to larger swaths of patterned fabric, then stitched messages—“Love Wins,” “Disarm Hate”—into the fabric with black thread.

She tied them around trees and telephone poles all over town, on Water Street, on Hinton Avenue, near Justice and Emancipation parks in advance of the Ku Klux Klan and Unite the Right rallies. By September, Magee simplified the approach by using permanent marker to write “Stand Strong” and “Stand Strong Charlottesville” directly onto the fabric, in order to produce more banners and more widely distribute the messages.

The wraparound fabric banners are to Magee a more public, highly visible version of the black armbands that she and her friends

Before playing in C’ville, American rapper, singersongwriter, musician, slam poet, writer and actor Saul Williams has appearances in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Austria on his calendar. The global schedule speaks to the broad messages of the art activist, who emphasizes them with album titles such as The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!, NGH WHT: The Dead Emcee Scrolls and the recent MartyrLoserKing, which Williams calls “a multimedia project that engages the digital dialogue between the first and third worlds, and the global street sounds that yoke the two.” Free (registration required), 6pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333.

Through songs and discussion, Horace Scruggs reveals messages, maps and signals in A View from a Train: Decoding the Stories and Music of the Underground Railroad. In this original presentation, Scruggs traces the geographical path and the contributions of abolitionists, including Harriet Tubman, William Still, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Frederick Douglass, whose remarkable work aided the escape of tens of thousands. $10-12, 7:30pm. The V. Earl Dickinson Building at PVCC, 501 College Dr. 961-5376.

Duly noted Solidarity Cards Project promotes the power of sharing

By Erin O’Hare arts@c-ville.com

Want to write your own Solidarity Card? Destinee Wright’s next card-collecting event will be at Healing Through Art & Community with Candy Chang at The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center on January 19.

Wright grabbed a stack of index cards from her desk and asked students in her feminist theory class to write down what had been weighing on their hearts post-election. She asked them to be personal, to be honest. She collected more replies from students in other classes.

“I felt like such a crazy person, collecting these cards and not knowing what I was going to do with them initially,” says Wright. She brought her clipboard to the Women’s March

in Washington, D.C., on January 21, 2017 and to a Charlottesville community healing event after August 12. She’s offered cards to her hair clients, and while at the Afropunk festival in Atlanta in October, she cut up cardstock from a vendor booth for an on-the-fly alternative.

Sometimes participants write just a sentence or two: “I’m afraid he’ll allow the world to burn.”

“Ending the drug war will end overdose and mass incarceration.”

@artscville

In their own words Words of encouragement, declarations of strength, admissions of fear—just a few of the sentiments people write on their Solidarity Cards.

January 17 – 23, 2018 c-ville.com

EZE AMOS

O

n November 11 of last year, equipped with a small clipboard, some index cards and a handful of pens, Destinee Wright waited outside the Paramount Theater after a discussion with Spike Lee about race and racial injustice in America, followed by a screening of two Lee documentary films, I Can’t Breathe and 4 Little Girls.

The mood was somber as Wright approached a few filmgoers and asked them to write down on index cards how they were feeling and what was on their minds after seeing the documentaries. Some of the replies were heavy, others were hopeful.

One person leaned on the small clipboard and wrote: “Receive Love. Be Love. Share Love. Repeat. Love is Kind. Love always hopes. Love always perseveres.”

“There’s power in writing your feelings down,” says Wright, an artist who owns and operates Luxie Hair Services, a mobile hair extension and braiding studio. It’s affirming, it’s healing, and it can create a sense of solidarity among people just by opening up a conversation.

Wright began this initiative, now called the Solidarity Cards Project, in November 2016, soon after Donald Trump was elected president. She was a student at the time, and attended a coming together hosted by UVA’s Office of African American Affairs, during which students of color shared what they had experienced and had been feeling in the days since the election. One student spoke of being chased on Grounds; another spoke of seeing a monkey hanging by a rope from a tree, Wright recalls.

Moved by her classmates’ stories, Wright wanted to get these students’ voices out to the rest of the campus while maintaining a safe space for openness and honesty. She remembered a project she’d learned about, El Tendedero/The Clothesline Project, which began in Mexico City in 1978 when Monica Mayer asked women to write down their experiences with sexual assault and then clipped the anonymous pink index cards to a clothesline.

“I just want people w/ HIV/AIDS to not be forgotten about in healthcare reform.”

“What is it going to take? How many more people have to die due to gun violence in the U.S. for the government to take ACTION?! [sic] Less guns = less death.”

“I feel detached from many political/social issues that are personal to so many people. I hope to encounter more and more avenues that bring these issues close to home for me.”

Others are longer: “As a Baptist minister and a woman I am heartbroken and so angry about Donald Trump’s rhetoric. His white supremacy, xenophobia and sexism are not consistent with my beliefs. I have been fighting as hard as I can against the Trump agenda.”

“As an African-American woman who grew up in [The South] only seeing images and video of protesters during the civil rights movement, I never thought I would be in the position to counter-protest white terrorists in my own town. As a mother of children with brown skin, I am terrified of Donald Trump’s America.”

There are cards bearing pro-Trump responses, too, and Wright plans to include them in an exhibit at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative on Saturday, January 20.

So far, she has collected about 300 cards— all of them anonymous, each of them different, many of them posted to the project website and social media accounts—and she’ll install the physical cards at the pop-up event.

Wright hopes that the Solidarity Cards Project will spark conversations—the seemingly small act of reading a single card is, in its own way, a conversation with a complete stranger, and the installation in The Bridge’s small-ish gallery space will offer ample opportunity for conversation among those who attend.

“There’s so much power in just having a discussion,” says Wright. “Even if you don’t have the same views as someone, be open to talking...because you can’t grow, you can’t heal, you can’t have any understanding unless you talk to someone.” And writing it down is a good first step.

A

lfred Hitchcock once noted that Steven Spielberg “is the first one of us who doesn’t see the proscenium arch,” referring to his ability to expand the visual and metaphorical limits of what could be displayed on a screen. The late-career political films of Spielberg would already be remarkable on their own terms, even if they weren’t the work of one of cinema’s most famous and defining voices. Lincoln was an on-the-nose, yet clever examination of political obstructionism against the struggle for progress. Bridge of Spies was released amid a growing tide of isolationism among many Americans, and the film explores the depths of the Cold War, when that sentiment ran deep, while taking a step back from the notion of good guys versus bad to focus on shared human values.

Now with The Post recounting the fight to release the groundbreaking Pentagon Papers—in a post-truth age—we see that Spielberg, the man who helped define the modern blockbuster, has more than crowd-pleasing on his mind.

The Post stars Meryl Streep as Washington Post owner Katharine Graham, and Tom

Hanks as editor Ben Bradlee. Both are facing the pressure of lagging sales and the lack of good leads. Bradlee is the sort of fire-spitting warrior who will burn the place to the ground in pursuit of the truth, a position at odds with Graham, who grew up in high society and maintains friendships with powerful people whose truth needs pursuing.

Upon learning that former defense department analyst Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys) has a treasure trove of documents revealing that the U.S. government had been lying to the public about its involvement in the Vietnam War, seeking validity for the Post becomes a battle for the very soul of journalism.

The story cannot go unpublished, yet it is not a straight line from acquiring information to printing it. Graham’s relationship with Robert McNamara (Bruce Greenwood), her responsibility to her shareholders and the possible legal blowback that would sink the whole business stand in the way.

As with his previous historical dramas, Spielberg creates an incredible atmosphere that is as much a part of the story as the narrative. Graham took control of the paper following her husband’s suicide; that fact, combined with routinely being the only woman in stockholder meetings, means she is marginalized at an institution that sup-

posedly belongs to her. Streep delivers an excellent performance, as her character navigates how to best live up to her role and her values while carrying the weight of a lifetime in the shadow of powerful men. Bradlee’s truth-to-power credentials are also challenged, as he is confronted with his past friendship with John F. Kennedy, who, as president, Bradlee ought to have challenged.

The Post PG-13, 115 minutes Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX, Violet Crown Cinemas It is easy to pass judgment on historical figures who appear either brave or cowardly in retrospect. It is another thing entirely to be in the moment, balancing every factor with no knowledge of the outcome. Every decision that we now recognize as right or wrong needed to be made in real time by real people with personal strengths and weaknesses.

Thai one on Silk Thai keeps it authentic

By Sam Padgett and Erin O’Hare eatdrink@c-ville.com

Silk Thai features owner TK Chin’s favorite dishes—the duck roll appetizer and panang curry—from his other Thai restaurants in Manassas.

Ultimately, Chin is excited to be a part of the Charlottesville culinary community.

“I’ve been around food all my life,” he says.

“My family sold palm sugar back in Thailand, so I’m proud to provide the most authentic food.”

Starting with a clean plate C-VILLE Restaurant Week is upon us once again, and in 2018 the twice-yearly event (it comes around again in July) will benefit the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. One dollar from each meal will go to the nonprofit, which works with community partners to combat hunger in central Virginia. From Friday, January 19, through Sunday, January 28, more than 39 local restaurants will offer three-course prixe-fixe menus at either a $25 or $35 price point (note that this is different from previous years, in which there were three price points). Check out c-villerestaurantweek.com for more information on participating restaurants, menus and reservations, or turn to page 33 to start planning

your list of must-visit eateries. Try not to drool all over the pages, please.

Sharing a meal Maru, a Korean restaurant slated to open this week in the former Miso Sweet Ramen + Donuts spot on the Downtown Mall, means “gathering place.” Actually, the Maru staff tells us, it literally translates in Korean to “made from wood,” but, over time, it has become associated with hospitality and community. Maru the restaurant will serve traditional Korean food with modern additions. One of the restaurant’s trademark dishes is a kimchi arancini, a fried fish with both kimchi and mozzarella cheese. There will be a bar serving classic cocktails made with Korean liquors, plus a drink served with soju (a clear liquor from Korea) inside a watermelon. The restaurant’s specially designed tables, which have ice bucketsized holes to keep your beverages cold while you hang with your friends, say plenty about the type of gathering place Maru aims to be.

Eater’s digest On Saturday, February 10, the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will hold a Greens & Mac ’n’ Cheese cook-off. Entry is free, and you must submit your recipe for judging based on taste, look, smell and originality. Each participating cook should bring his own food, display and serving material for 100 tasters. The Jefferson School will supply a 6-foot table, plus table covers, cutlery and serving cups. Interested cooks (and taste-testers) can go to jeffschoolheritagecenter.org for more information.

This Friday and Saturday, January 19 and 20, chef André Soltner will cook dinner at Restaurant Pomme in Gordonsville. Soltner, recipient of a James Beard Award for lifetime achievement, is widely regarded as the original superstar chef. All of the dinner seats are filled for both nights, but a call to the restaurant to get on the waitlist couldn’t hurt.

According to a sign posted on the restaurant door, Café Caturra, a coffee shoprestaurant-bar combo located on the UVA Corner, has closed.

he red house at 2210 Fontaine Ave. that once housed Thai 99 has a new coat of paint and a new inhabitant: Silk Thai Restaurant.

Silk Thai owner TK Chin (nephew of Thai 99 owner Eddy Keomahathai) is bent on maintaining the friendly and welcoming environment that Thai 99 customers came to know, first with the name of the eatery itself. Chin says he’s always associated silk with softness and comfort, and from the moment one crosses the threshold of the restaurant, the warmth is palpable. Silk Thai’s walls are adorned with a variety of antiques and assorted knicknacks. There are also signs that exalt family, wine and football season, and, hidden among the dense decorations that Chin gathered from local antique stores and Craigslist, there is a uniquely Thai relic, a portrait of the late King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Even though Silk Thai is both located in and decorated like a cozy house, it remains an authentic Thai restaurant. Chin owns several other Thai eateries, including Mum Mum Restaurant and Zabb Thai Restaurant, both located in Manassas.

With Silk Thai, Chin plans to bring his favorite dishes from his other restaurants into a single menu. He’s cognizant of Thai 99’s previous standing as a Best of C-VILLE winner, and says he is eager to reclaim that title. Chin credits his co-owner and head chef, Roengsan “Pepsi” Chaichiengphin, with creating an authentic Thai menu. “He puts his heart and soul into the food,” says Chin. Some of those authentic dishes include khao soi, a traditional noodle soup served in northern Thailand, and the hearty pad Thai tempura.

Top regional grape producers in 2016 1. Albemarle County 933 tons 2. Orange County 896 tons 3. Nelson County 709 tons

HERE COME THE BRIDES

@eatdrinkcville

According to the Virginia 2016 Commercial Grape Report, the central Virginia region (which includes Albemarle, Amherst, Bedford, Greene, Hanover, Louisa, Nelson, Orange and Spotsylvania counties) produced the most grapes—2,744 tons—statewide.

Vineyard owners experienced a challenging winter with significant snowfall and low temperatures in January and February, including late frost in the first and second weeks of April that caused some smaller growers to lose their entire crop. Compared with 2015, there was a 10.4 percent decrease in total tons of grapes produced throughout Virginia.

Similarly, Valley Road Vineyards’ CEO and co-founder Stan Joynes expresses little concern for this season’s weather. “We did nothing different [from past winters],” he says. “So far, we don’t see any evidence of damage, but it is also too early to tell.”

The Afton vineyard is currently growing younger vines, which are three seasons old.

Younger vines are more fragile and may be more susceptible to the cold. “We won’t know for sure until bud breaks on our chardonnay grapes—our first in every season— which could happen late February or early March,” says Joynes.

He doesn’t expect this year to be akin to last winter’s season, “which was a near perfect growing season: It got warm early, and never got cold again.”

The absence of fluctuating temperatures and a steady increase of sun means a larger crop haul. “In ’16, we got to single digits in April, which was devastating to chardonnay and other early buds,” says Joynes.

A blanket of snow, however, can help protect vines.

“While the vines are dormant this time of year, you actually hope for snow to protect them from the harshness,” says Joynes.

“Winds and chills are a concern for damage.”

Another wish is for moisture—for constant irrigation. Both Geist and Joynes hope to see more precipitation in the second half of winter.

“We are all way down on moisture, but there is still time,” says Joynes. “Trying not to be pessimistic, timing of the cold and veracity of the cold is everything. Protect them when they’re dormant and it’ll all be fine.”

etween sporadic power outages, icy roads and burst pipes, Charlottesville is dealing with plenty of winter woes. But we aren’t the only ones grappling with the freezing temperatures: Central Virginia vineyards are facing this weather head-on, with growers keeping a close eye on their property.

David Geist, co-owner of Arcady Vineyard Bed and Breakfast, is fairly new when it comes to grape-growing (he and his wife, Kathy, bought the business a few years ago). He took several courses and reached out to experienced area vineyard masters to learn the ins and outs of maintaining healthy crops.

“Last year was quite mild; we didn’t anticipate how cold it’d be this year, but [what I did] to prepare was actually wait to prune,” says Geist. Putting off pruning will give vines an extra layer of protection against the cold, “[and] the hardier they will be when the frost hits. Frost affects vines from the outside in, so the more mature you leave on, the better the actual vine and roots will survive,” he says.

Arcady, one of the hobby vineyards in the Charlottesville area, grows chambourcin grapes, which are used to make a dessert wine. Typically, smaller vineyards run the risk of having higher devastation rates during harsher and more extreme weather than larger farms do. But Geist isn’t worried because he’s bringing in reinforcements this season: They have donated their vine-

yard to Piedmont Virginia Community College’s vintner cultural department, which will perform periodic check-ups.

PVCC’s Greg Rosko says his students will study the effects of the winter weather on the vines when it gets closer to spring to determine the success of the crop.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “When one door closes, another opens,” said inventor Alexander Graham Bell. “But we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened.” Heed his advice, Aquarius. Take the time you need to mourn the lost opportunity. But don’t take more than the time you need. The replacement or alternative to what’s gone will show up sooner than you think.

29

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Bubble gum is more elastic and less sticky than regular chewing gum. That’s why you can blow bubbles with it. A Capricorn accountant named Walter Diemer invented it in 1928 while working for the Fleer Chewing Gum Company. At the time he finally perfected the recipe, the only food dye he had on hand was pink. His early batches were all that color, and a tradition was born. That’s why even today, most bubble gum is pink. I suspect a similar theme may unfold soon in your life. The conditions present at the beginning of a new project may deeply imprint the future evolution of the project. So try to make sure those are conditions you like!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Gilbert Stuart painted the most famous portrait of America’s first president, George Washington. It’s the image on the U.S. $1 bill. And yet Stuart never finished the masterpiece. Begun in 1796, it was still a work-in-progress when Stuart died in 1828.

Leonardo da Vinci had a similar type of success. His incomplete painting “The Virgin and Child with St. Anne” hangs in the Louvre in Paris, and his unfinished “The Adoration of the Magi” has been in Florence’s Uffizi Gallery since 1671. I propose that Stuart and da Vinci serve as your role models in the coming weeks. Maybe it’s not merely okay if a certain project of yours remains unfinished; maybe that’s actually the preferred outcome.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Many American women did not have the right to vote until August 18, 1920. On that day, the Tennessee General Assembly became the 36th state legislature to approve the 19th Amendment, thus sealing the legal requirements to change the U.S. Constitution and ensure women’s suffrage.

The ballot in Tennessee was close. At the last minute, 24-year-old legislator Harry T. Burns changed his mind from no to yes, thanks to a letter from his mother, who asked him to “be a good boy” and vote in favor. I suspect that in the coming weeks, Aries, you will be in a pivotal position not unlike Burns’.

Your decision could affect more people than you know. Be a good boy or good girl.

Taurus

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Looks like the Season of a Thousand and One Emotions hasn’t drained and frazzled you. Yes, there may be a pool of tears next to your bed. Your altar might be filled with heaps of ashes, marking your burnt offerings. But you have somehow managed to extract a host of useful lessons from your tests and trials. You have surprised yourself with the resilience and resourcefulness you’ve been able to summon. And so the energy you’ve gained through these gritty triumphs is well worth the price you’ve had to pay.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Every relationship is unique. The way you connect with another person—whether it’s through friendship, romance, family or collaborative projects— should be free to find the distinctive identity that best suits its special chemistry. Therefore, it’s a mistake to compare any of your alliances to some supposedly perfect ideal. Luckily, you’re in an astrological period when you have extra savvy about cultivating unique models of togetherness. So I recommend that you devote the coming weeks to deepening and refining your most important bonds.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): During recent weeks, your main tasks have centered around themes often associated with strain and struggle: repair, workaround, reassessment, jury-rigging, adjustment, compromise. Amazingly, Leo, you have kept your suffering to a minimum as you have smartly done your hard

work. In some cases you have even thrived.

Congratulations on being so industrious and steadfast! Beginning soon, you will glide into a smoother stage of your cycle. Be alert for the inviting signs. Don’t assume you’ve got to keep grunting and grinding.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Norwegian artist Edvard Munch created four versions of his iconic artwork “The Scream.” Each depicts a person who seems terribly upset, holding his head in his hands and opening his mouth wide as if unleashing a loud shriek. In 2012, one of these images of despair was sold for almost $120 million. The money went to the son of a man who had been Munch’s friend and patron. Can you think of a way that you and yours might also be able to extract value or get benefits from a negative emotion or a difficult experience? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to do just that.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I think I like my brain best in a bar fight with my heart,” says poet Clementine von Radics. While I appreciate that perspective, I advise you to do the opposite in the coming weeks. This will be a phase of your astrological cycle when you should definitely support your heart over your brain in bar fights, wrestling matches, shadow boxing contests, tugs of war, battles of wits and messy arguments. Here’s one of the most important reasons why I say this: Your brain would be inclined to keep the conflict going until one party or the other suffers ignominious defeat, whereas your heart is much more likely to work toward a win-win conclusion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When he was 24 years old, Scorpio-born Zhu Yuanzhang was a novice

monk with little money who had just learned to read and write. He had spent years as a wandering beggar. By the time he was 40 years old, he was the emperor of China and founder of the Ming Dynasty, which ruled for 276 years. What happened in between? That’s a long story. Zhu’s adventurousness was a key asset, and so was his ability as an audacious and crafty tactician. His masterful devotion to detailed practical matters was also indispensable. If you are ever in your life going to begin an ascent even remotely comparable to Zhu’s, Scorpio, it will be in the coming 10 months. Being brave and enterprising won’t be enough. You must be disciplined and dogged, as well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1892, the influential Atlantic magazine criticized Sagittarian poet Emily Dickinson, saying she “possessed an extremely unconventional and grotesque fancy.” It dismissed her poetry as incoherent, and declared that an “eccentric, dreamy, half-educated recluse” like her “cannot with impunity set at defiance the laws of gravitation and grammar.” This dire dis turned out to be laughably wrong. Dickinson is now regarded as one of the most original American poets. I offer this story up as a pep talk for you, Sagittarius. In the coming months, I suspect you’ll be reinventing yourself. You’ll be researching new approaches to living your life. In the course of these experiments, others may see you as being in the grip of unconventional or grotesque fantasy. They may consider you dreamy and eccentric. I hope you won’t allow their misunderstandings to interfere with your playful yet serious work.

(April 20-May 20): In the coming weeks, destiny will be calling you and calling you and calling you, inviting you to answer its summons. If you do indeed answer, it will provide you with clear instructions about what you will need to do to expedite your ass in the direction of the future. If on the

other hand you refuse to listen to destiny’s call, or hear it and refuse to respond, then destiny will take a different tack. It won’t provide any instructions, but will simply yank your ass in the direction of the future.

C-VILLE RESTAURANT WEEK

How to do Restaurant Week Make the most of these eight delicious days The very first Charlottesville Restaurant Week had foodies buzzing and tables filling up faster than a top chef can slice a ripe tomato. Ditto for this one in July. Getting in on the fun is easy–but it requires a little planning.

Here’s how.

STEP 1: Mark your calendar for Friday, January 19 to Sunday, January 28.

STEP 2: Peruse the menus from the participating restaurants to decide which ones suit your fancy. With so many participating, you can’t visit one every night!

STEP 3: Call each restaurant directly to make your reservation, and mention that you’re coming in specifically for Restaurant Week. Reservations are first-come, first-served and chefs report that interest has been running high, so don’t tarry.

STEP 4: Show up on time, and make sure you’re dressed to make your mama proud, since some of the participating establishments have dress codes.

STEP 5: Make sure you order off the special “Restaurant Week” menu, as some of the participating restaurants will also offer their regular—i.e. more expensive— menu. (Everyone will be dismayed, and you might end up washing dishes, if you order the $45 flaming surf and turf that’s not part of the special prix fixe menu.)

January 17 – 23, 2018 c-ville.com

STEP 6: Savor your meal, and when paying your bill, please remember that drinks, tax and tips are not included.—Courteney Stuart

Q&A What changes do you think Mayor Nikuyah Walker will bring to City Council?

Okay, hope for the best.

If the current trends continue, meetings will have to be televised with a PG (Parental Guidance) warning because of strong language, mob mentality and full frontal in-fighting. Her real test will be: Can she accommodate views not her own?

Maybe she’ll get those angry interruptions to calm down and scale back? @EKKNAPPENBERGER/TWITTER

Sadly, based on your reporting, it seems like she will bring to City Council what the president brings to the White House: a way of interacting that is not based on civility and politeness.

I hope she will work to restore some civility to the meetings. Speaking out is a right of all citizens, and disagreement can lead to important discussions and change, but shouting and namecalling are not necessary and not what we should be modeling for our children. Let’s try treating each other with respect, while still working for positive change. I wish her well!

Transparency.

The very fact that Nikuyah Walker was born and raised in Charlottesville, and is well known to so many from the halls of Charlottesville public schools, along with her distinguished career in public service, offers the first real hope since August 12 for many of us that something good will come out of this horrible time that befell our home.

None!

She will give voice to the voiceless.

Hoping she can bring a perspective on residential/commercial construction that prioritizes community needs over developer profit. @VILLEREAL/TWITTER
