In memoriam

COMIC 29 Jen Sorensen

The recently opened National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, commemorates the lives of thousands of African-Americans who were lynched in the United States between 1877 and 1950. Among the names engraved on 800 columns that are suspended in the air is Albemarle County’s John Henry James, the victim of an 1898 lynching. A group from the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will make a Community Civil Rights Pilgrimage to deliver soil from Woods Crossing, the site of James’ lynching, to the memorial, which is located on the site of a former slave pen, where black people were imprisoned before being sold at auction. They hope to arrive by July 12, the 120th anniversary of James’ murder.

—Petition from UVA students to President Teresa Sullivan and the Board of Visitors April 27, the same day the university issued a no trespass warning to Jason Kessler.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Beating trial begins The first of four jury trials in the August 12 malicious wounding of DeAndre Harris got underway April 30. It took six hours to seat a jury for Jacob Goodwin, 23, from Ward, Arkansas. Goodwin’s attorney, Elmer Woodard, admits Goodwin kicked Harris but says that didn’t cause the serious injuries Harris suffered.

Sex trafficker convicted A trial originally scheduled for five days stretched nearly two weeks before a jury, after deliberating 15 hours, convicted Quincy Edwards, 34, of 10 counts of commercial sex trafficking and of procuring a person for financial gain. The Albemarle jury recommended 22 years in prison. Edwards was arrested in 2015 at the Royal Inn, and his victim said she had sex with as many as 20 men a day for her heroin supply.

Popular former CHS environmental sciences teacher Richard Wellbeloved-Stone, 57, pleaded guilty to one count of production of child pornography April 26 in U.S. District Court. He came to law enforcement’s attention while chatting with an undercover agent in the U.K. and describing his fantasies about a prepubescent girl. Police found images of a girl’s vagina on Wellbeloved-Stone’s cell phone.

Garrett’s mandatory minimums Congressmen Tom Garrett, Jared Polis (DCO) and Ken Buck (R-CO) introduced the Review Every Act Diligently In Total—READ IT—resolution to amend House rules to establish a mandatory minimum review period for all legislation that is brought to a vote.

Albemarle County Police had a busy April 28 running a drug take-back program at Sentara Martha Jefferson and policing 15,000 racegoers at Foxfield. The number of drugs collected was down from last year, but so were the traffic tickets at Foxfield. Collecting drugs or dealing with drunk UVA students—it’s one way to enjoy a beautiful spring day. Preliminary numbers for those events are:

DRUG TAKE-BACK

Spring 2018 ■ 15,000 racegoers ■ 5 arrests ■ 31 medical emergencies, 12 known to be alcohol related ■ 3 medical transports to ER ■ 0 traffic tickets

Spring 2018 ■ 364 vehicles ■ 25 bags collected ■ 768 pounds of meds ■ 428 pounds of needles

Spring 2017 ■ 12,000-14,000 racegoers ■ 5 arrests, including 1 DUI hit-and-run crash ■ 38 medical emergencies ■ 2 medical transports to ER ■ 19 traffic tickets ■ 1 ticket for marijuana possession

Spring 2017 ■ 413 vehicles ■ 37 bags collected ■ 1,084 pounds of meds ■ 362 pounds of needles

HAWKINS DALE

s the weather warms, more people are outside and noticing just how trashy our scenic highways are.

That’s when local groups that have adopted a highway under the Virginia Department of Transportation don their orange blaze vests and go clean up after their filthy neighbors.

Groups that volunteer are asked to take care of a two-mile stretch of road at least two times a year. After two pickups, the group is eligible to put its name on a blue Adopt-a-Highway sign. VDOT supplies orange trash bags, vests and roll-up signs to warn vehicles a pickup is in process, and will come remove the bags.

Some adopters have been known to abandon their highway, and resident VDOT administrator Joel DeNunzio says if a group hasn’t picked up in a certain amount of time, it can lose its blue signage. “Certain groups may be more interested in having their names on highway signs,” he concedes.

Fortunately that’s the exception, and volunteers are welcome. “I will let anybody adopt any highway I think is safe,” says DeNunzio. “They’re only denied if I don’t think it’s safe. We don’t want to have inexperienced people or kids on dangerous roads.”

Kessler alert UVA issues no trespass warning reporter@c-ville.com

A

ing to video of the encounter. (Wood says Kessler was not given an office, and he was being assisted by a law librarian in the librarian’s office.)

In a video, Martin says, “If you want to arrest me and not Jason Kessler sitting right there, then go ahead.” Martin said he came to Grounds after Solidarity Cville tweeted about Kessler’s reappearance at the law school.

This time, Kessler approached Doherty near the circulation desk, and their voices escalated when Doherty asked Kessler to leave, according to witnesses. A group of students gathered, brandishing their recording devices, and watched silently through their screens. Police soon escorted Kessler out peacefully.

The law school sent out an email alert and a follow-up once “the disturbance [had] been resolved.” Goluboff wrote in the email, “Since last week, we have been working to-

ward limiting access...and the plan was for the new policy to go into effect tomorrow morning. Given today’s events, I have decided to implement that policy immediately.”

Says second-year Elizabeth Sines, who is currently one of a dozen plaintiffs suing Kessler for injury at the August 12 rally, “At this point, there are a group of us students trying to determine how best to respond if he comes here again, because we realize we can’t rely on the university to do so.”

A day later, UVA issued the no trespass warning to Kessler, citing multiple reports from students that he’d threatened them and targeted them with cyber-bullying and cyber-harassment. The university also accused Kessler of misleading University Police about the notorious August 11 tiki-torch march through Grounds that “threatened the health and safety of members of the University community,” according to a release.

Jason Kessler’s recent visits to the UVA law library have been unwelcome. Now, a new policy allows only UVA students in the library until exams are over.

tale of two incidents at the University of Virginia School of Law library prompted the administration to allow access to only UVA students for the exam period, which ends May 11, and on April 26, the university banned Jason Kessler from UVA property with a no trespass warning.

On April 18, Kessler, Charlottesville’s embattled whites-righter, entered the school’s library and plopped down in a central location to do what the other students had been trying to do: study.

But Kessler’s legal research did not turn into an all-nighter among the books. He was quickly noticed—a 3L (third-year law student) says Kessler was researching a way to petition his demonstration permit denial.

One librarian, Ben Doherty, who is an active member of Showing Up for Racial Justice, excused himself from the library when Kessler arrived. Doherty, who has been a target in Kessler’s tweets, declined to comment for this article.

Says a 2L, who asked not to be named, “A [group] of students and Professor [Anne] Coughlin were telling him to leave. Video was taken by him and by those who went to silently protest.” The silent protest came in the form of signs with messages, such as “Blood on your hands,” quickly printed off and held up “as he pretended to read,” says the 2L. Over the course of an hour and a half, the group fluctuated between five and 15 people.

Two police officers arrived to observe, and eventually Kessler responded to the students and became loud, shouting racist and sexist statements as he stormed through the hallway. He called a friend to pick him up “because he didn’t trust the police, in his own words,” says the 2L. “He looked pissed off, even though the police and students were not forcing him out.”

No email alerts were sent to the student body while Kessler was on Grounds.

Coughlin has been leading the charge to ban Kessler from the law school property.

The university previously rejected the law school administration’s request for an outright ban, despite barring homeless and drunk people from accessing the school in the past. The library is open to the public during business hours.

Kessler is the organizer of the infamous Unite the Right rally, and one of the alleged leaders who directed hundreds of white supremacists to carry tiki torches across UVA Grounds and the Lawn last summer.

An impromptu forum to discuss the incident drew students and faculty, who called for action. Law school Dean Risa Goluboff seemed overwhelmed with emotion and said she “let down her students,” according to student Alicia Penn. No immediate action was taken as far as students were concerned, and the issue went unresolved publicly for several days.

UVA Law spokesperson Mary Wood, who initially did not return phone calls, says the law school had been actively working with President Teresa Sullivan, the university counsel’s office and the police since April 18.

“I’m really disheartened by the university’s response,” says another 2L, who asked that he not be named because of threats from the alt-right. “The administration and police department should issue a no-trespass order against Kessler. There’s a record built that establishes he’s a danger to our community. ...As a student of color, I expect more from UVA.” On April 25, Kessler returned to the law school, but this visit was much shorter. He was given a space in a staff office to continue his legal research, according to student sources, when Eric Martin entered the room.

A law school administrator asked Martin to leave, and warned him he’d be arrested if he refused. When Martin did not go, two police officers arrested him for trespassing, accord-

Booze bracelet Cantwell’s public intoxication charge violates terms of bond

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

Christopher Cantwell told the circuit court judge that he makes offensive jokes for a living, but she still ruled that he can no longer name—or even refer to—his alleged victims online.

“But that doesn’t mean he’s a threat to the public.”

Judge Cheryl Higgins found it to be a violation of his bond, and ordered Cantwell to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet along with the GPS monitor he already wears. He may not consume any more alcohol while out on bond.

During the hearing, a police officer testified he was contacted by an FBI agent who believed Cantwell had exceeded the 22-mile radius he’s allowed to roam, but Jeff Lenert, a partner at Central Virginia Monitoring, testified that none of the data he collected

in March showed Cantwell out of his permitted zone.

Tracci also argued that Cantwell was using social media to threaten and intimidate others, including the victims of his pending criminal case.

The prosecutor showed the judge a photo that Cantwell reposted on the web of a little girl who appeared to be protesting gun violence at the March for Our Lives, and who held a sign that said, “Am I next?”

Cantwell’s online response? “One can hope.”

Another post referred to gassing “kikes and trannies.”

CHO’s got its passengers covered April showers have finally brought May flowers, but any time it’s precipitating at the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport, some passengers boarding or leaving airplanes will have a dry passage—at least part of the way.

The airport purchased four portable jet bridges—covered ramps—earlier this year to eliminate the movable steps between a plane and the tarmac that have typically greeted airline travelers heading to and from the terminal.

“The mobile ramps were just one phase of our plan to improve the aircraft loading/ unloading experience at CHO,” says airport spokesman Jason Burch.

And that’s not all.

“The next stage of our plan includes a covered walkway system that will stretch the length of our entire ramp and will be designed to protect passengers from rain, snow and strong winds,” Burch adds.

“We are in the final design and approval phase and would like to see the procurement, assembly and installation phase to be completed in the next 18 months.”

Locals tend to be either proud of the small five-gate airport eight miles north of the city, or they eschew it for larger

terminals in northern Virginia or Richmond because of the smaller regional jets typically used for the flights from CHO to a half dozen larger hubs.

Frustration at the lack of terminal facilities was quelled somewhat in 2015 when a bar and concession service began operating on the lower level. And of the four sets of escalators in the Charlottesville area, two are used to take travelers first up and then down to planes waiting at Gate 5. (The other two escalators in town are at Michael’s and Regal Stonefield.)

More than 50 flights leave from and arrive at CHO each day. Delta, American and United currently serve the 63-year-old public airport.

According to Burch, director of air service and marketing, Delta has had a traditional jet bridge at the ground level Gate 3 for more than a decade. Because Delta sometimes flies a Boeing 757 into CHO, the airport bought the first of its new mobile ramps in 2013 for that plane, he says. Larger than the four new ones, that ramp, which declares Charlottesville “Home of the Cavaliers” and showcases UVA’s crossed swords logo and the letters WAHOOWA on its sides, is also frequently

“D

runk,” “loaded” and “liquored up” were all words used in Albemarle County Circuit Court to describe the state of “Crying Nazi” Chris Cantwell during his Loudoun County arrest last month that nearly landed the self-proclaimed racist back in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

At an April 25 hearing, Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert Tracci said good behavior was a condition of the $25,000 bond Cantwell was granted in December. He has been ordered to stay in Leesburg while he awaits his trial for allegedly pepper spraying two people at the August 11 torch-lit white supremacist rally on UVA Grounds.

The New Hampshire man was allegedly carrying a can of tactical pepper spray when he walked in front of traffic and was nearly struck by two vehicles. He was charged with public swearing and intoxication March 31 in Leesburg, according to Tracci.

Cantwell called it a “gross exaggeration,” and said he was walking from Bunker Sports Cafe to his residence, which is less than a mile away. He entered a 7-Eleven, and he claims he said, “Don’t buy cigarettes, stupid,” aloud to himself in front of police, and was arrested outside the store.

“Did he misbehave and get liquored up?

Sure,” said his attorney, Elmer Woodard.

“I make jokes for a living,” Cantwell told the judge. “It’s what I do. I’m a professional entertainer.”

Woodard called Emily Gorcenski to the stand, who is a victim in the pepper spray accusation. He asked her to state her name and immediately excused her.

Higgins was quick to reprimand Woodard, and the attorney said he was simply proving that Gorcenski wasn’t too intimidated by Cantwell to come to his hearing.

Said Higgins, “Maybe because there are four bailiffs here.”

She ordered that Cantwell may not contact the victims in the case, refer to them on the web or use direct or indirect intimidation or threat tactics.

Woodard said the order infringed on Cantwell’s First Amendment rights and noted that Gorcenski is permitted to continue posting anything she wants about Cantwell.

The attorney asked his client if there are also people who criticize him online.

Said Cantwell, “That would be the understatement of the century.”

Higgins also granted Tracci’s motion to quash Woodard’s request for all electronic data and conversations between the two victims in Cantwell’s case. The judge called it a “fishing expedition” and ordered the complainants to only provide the photos and videos they used to identify Cantwell as their attacker.

His trial is set for August 13.

CHO’s new jet bridges make is easier for passengers with limited mobility to get on and off airplanes. used by planes chartered for University of Virginia athletes. American Airlines was the first to complete the training and begin implementation of the new domestic ramps, which were purchased for a little more than $50,000 each. All three airlines plan to eventually use the covered walkway, no-step mobile ramp systems, as they not only shelter passengers from the worst weather conditions, but also aid those with limited mobility.

Burch says the new equipment is more efficient, convenient and safer.

A passenger departing recently at CHO after a trip to Fort Lauderdale was overheard saying how convenient the ramp was compared to the former metal stairs, though she still had to stand in a light drizzle to wait for the cart bearing her valet-checked bag.

That, too, could be changing soon.— Jeanne Nicholson Siler

Sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll New apartment complex promises at least one of those

IMAGES COURTESY SIX HUNDRED WEST MAIN

N

ext fall, residents of a new housing complex on West Main Street might have 99 problems, but their apartment won’t be one of them—or at least, that’s the verbiage that was handed out on keychains at Six Hundred West Main’s metaphorical groundbreaking ceremony last week.

Despite pouring rain, about 40 people and a bulldog named Butch came out to the future site of the swanky apartment complex set to open behind the Blue Moon Diner in 2019.

More reminiscent of a concert than a press conference, the event featured black graphic tees that nodded to the desire for backstage passes and edgy, apartment-branded posters that were up for grabs at a merch table about 20 feet in front of the stage, where developer Jeff Levien, designer Ivy Naté and architect Jeff Dreyfus shared some words about their project.

“We’re sort of reclaiming West Main Street for the rest of the city,” said Dreyfus.

The group made it clear that the apartments aren’t for UVA students, and Naté said one reason Charlottesville needs such a space, which will have its own art gallery, is because it lacks “curated design” for its non-student population.

Rental costs aren’t established yet, per Levien, who also declined to comment on how much the project cost. Levien and Naté, who are married and moved to Charlottesville from New York City about five years ago, have tag-teamed on a number of developments, but this will be their first in the city.

This one will feature modern design elements such as perforated metals and glass, according to the architect, a principal of local firm Bushman Dreyfus Architects, who couldn’t help but mention Thomas Jefferson: “That’s what he would be using today,” Dreyfus said.

A rock ’n’ roll theme has dominated the marketing for West Main’s newest digs. “Is it a little rock ’n’ roll?” asks Naté. “Definitely. But it’s where rock ’n’ roll goes to kick back.”

The quote appears in a folder that was handed to reporters, which features a photo of Naté and Levien at the Blue Moon bar. Levien, sitting on a barstool and pouring an inordinate amount of either sugar or cream into a cup of coffee, stares longingly at his

wife, who’s positioned on the countertop sucking back a shot of Jack Daniel’s while wearing aviator sunglasses, studded jeans and platform boots.

Levien credits Naté with the theme.

“She’s much cooler than I am,” he says, a gray beanie on his head that he claims his wife made him wear. As Butch, the pair’s dog, sniffs his leg, the developer says hints of the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle will be carried into the apartment design, with dark bathrooms, dark kitchens, chandeliers and the art gallery.

For what Levien called the “proverbial shovel in the ground,” folks who’ve had a hand in bringing Six Hundred West Main to life put on black hard hats but ditched the golden shovels often used during such a ceremony. Instead, with a giant stencil and a few aerosol cans of paint, they permanently sprayed the apartment’s logo onto the pavement, as “Kansas City” by The New Basement Tapes played over a loudspeaker.

For perhaps the first time in Charlottesville’s history, an apartment complex comes with its own Spotify playlist. Give it a listen at spoti.fi/2poxUPO. Between now and the grand opening, the Six Hundred West Main team will do 600 hours of community service.

“I think being of service is a true example of good teamwork,” says Levien. “I could go on and on, but this isn’t an Oscars speech.”

Multiple other recently developed or under-construction apartments and hotels dot West Main.

Since the 2010 census, Charlottesville has grown 13 percent, more than any other Virginia city, according to Chris Engel, the city’s director of economic development. And the city has set aside $31 million for a West Main Street facelift.

“People are coming to Charlottesville like they’re going to other big cities,” says Engel says. “The point of cities is multiplicity of choice.”

Mark Weiner accuser in court again The woman whose accusations jailed former Food Lion manager Mark Weiner for two and a half years before he was released, and led to the defeat of then-commonwealth’s attorney Denise Lunsford in 2015 was in court April 27.

Chelsea Steiniger accused Michael Mills, the father of her two children, of punching her on February 15. A judge found Mills guilty of assault and battery.

Mills was the boyfriend who would not let Steiniger spend the night December 12, 2012, when Weiner gave her a ride from the Lucky 7. She began texting Mills that she’d been abducted, according to court records.

Mills called the police, and Steiniger claimed she’d been

drugged and escaped from Weiner by leaping out a second-story window, a tale Weiner’s attorney called “pure fiction.”

Before a judge vacated Weiner’s conviction when Lunsford learned that an undercover informant alleged Steiniger sold him $100 worth of cocaine, Mills filed an affidavit that said Steiniger admitted to him she’d made up the story.

In court April 27, Mills’ attorney, Lacey Parker, said Steiniger has a habit of making false police reports, and brought up a former case against another man. Steiniger testified she didn’t mean to lie to police about him, and that she has PTSD, which makes her remember things

incorrectly, and she was also “heavily intoxicated” at that time. She said she’s “not allowed” to drink alcohol now.

She also alleged Mills was on LSD that night of the alleged assault.

Mills, who has a lengthy rap sheet that includes previous domestic assault charges from Steiniger and an assault on law enforcement conviction, for which he served time, claimed before the hearing that Steiniger was “trying to blackmail me and keep me from seeing my kids.”

“Clearly it’s a credibility contest,” said prosecutor Andrew Wilder. The judge sentenced Mills to six months in jail, with five suspended, and two years of good behavior. Mills has filed an appeal, says his attorney.—C-VILLE writers

Nominee presumptive Can Leslie Cockburn beat Tom Garrett in the red 5th District? lisa@c-ville.com

S

The strategy In the 11 months that she’s been on the campaign trail, Cockburn has put 45,000 miles on her car. She has 700 volunteers and they’re in every county of the district. “We’ve created an army,” she says, comparing her strategy to that of Barack Obama in 2008.

And in the latest campaign filings, she’d raised more than $700,000, second in the field of four candidates. Roger Dean Huffstetler raised more than $1 million, Andrew

“For Cockburn to win, she needs it to be a disproportionate turnout.”

GEOFFREY SKELLEY AT UVA’S CENTER FOR POLITICS

Republican Congressman Tom Garrett wants a second term, and he has the advantage of a rural, GOP-leaning district.

Sneathern reports $260,000, and Ben Cullop, the only candidate who has officially withdrawn from the race, raised $288,000, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.

Around 575 women are running for Congress or state legislatures this year, most of them first-timers. In an April 10 Vanity Fair article, Cockburn details her run for office in “Thank you, Mr. Trump: How the president drove me to run for office.”

When she met with Lisa Hystad, the former 5th District Democratic chair, Cockburn says Hystad told her she had to run as a progressive. The day before, a “seasoned political consultant” told her she had to stick to the middle, she writes in Vanity Fair.

When she introduces herself at the April 21 caucus in Charlottesville, she makes a nod to the conservative rural district: “I’m a farmer, I’m a conservationist, and I’m a

woman with a past,” she says before segueing into her work at “60 Minutes,” “Frontline” and Vanity Fair.

She’s learned about the need for Medicaid, for school funding, for nursing homes, for transportation for those who “live in the hollows.” She’s learned about the “plague of opioids—I see it every day on the campaign trail.” And she points out that there are 2,500 open jobs in economically hard-hit Southside, but “people can’t pass a drug test.”

Every candidate will cite the need for jobs in the district, but Cockburn says she’s asked people what specifically can be done—and she will have a plan. For example, in the brewery-rich district, hops do well in certain areas like Madison County.

If elected, Cockburn says the first bill she’d support would be an expansion of CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Leslie Cockburn will be nominated the Democratic challenger to Congressman Tom Garrett in Farmville May 5.

May 2 – 8, 2018 c-ville.com

he frequently wears a green quilted vest—and her campaign has high production values, perhaps fitting for a former “60 Minutes” producer. Two weeks before the 5th District Democratic convention May 5 in Farmville, and after 23 caucuses, Leslie Cockburn amassed the most delegates in a field of four candidates to be the presumptive nominee.

The question remains: Can she surf the blue wave, relate to rural voters and upset incumbent U.S. Congressman Tom Garrett in a district that was made for Republicans?

And can she unite fellow Democrats who were left feeling bruised from the caucuses?

Cockburn—pronounced “Coe-burn”— is nothing if not self-assured, and she says this year is very different from 2016, when former Albemarle supervisor Jane Dittmar tried to win the district that’s been in GOP hands since Tom Perriello fell in the 2010 midterm elections.

“We have a freshman Republican with a record,” she says. Garrett’s membership in the congressional Freedom Caucus has “alienated a lot of Republicans in the district.” And she says she has more committed Democrats in the district than Republicans do.

“If the switch is going to happen, this is the year it will,” she predicts.

Cockburn describes herself as part of the blue wave of women who woke up to find Donald Trump president. “I was really offended by him,” she says. “And I was alarmed as a journalist,” both at Trump singling out a disabled reporter and taking potshots at the Fourth Estate.

The Rappahannock resident says she was energized by the first Women’s March, and calls it “an amazing day.” A few months later

at a Dem breakfast, two local party chairs asked her to run. She spent three months going around the district asking questions, “not as a candidate, but as a journalist,” and learned that health care was “by far the biggest issue for constituents.”

Many people at age 65 are considering slowing down rather than launching a yearlong, seven-day-a-week congressional race.

Cockburn pooh-poohs the notion that age will be a factor and notes she was an investigative reporter for 35 years, has covered six wars—including three in Afghanistan—and won 10 awards. “I’m used to a fast pace,” she says.

She swims an hour a day, sails and is a “big hiker,” she says. “I’m a pretty spry 65.”

And she’ll need that energy to woo a congressional district that encompasses more than 10,000 square miles and is larger than New Jersey.

“I don’t live in Hollywood,” says Cockburn. “I do have a daughter who is a movie star. That doesn’t make me a movie star.”

She points out that she also has a daughter who’s an attorney who focuses on criminal justice—a Harvard-educated attorney, according to her campaign website.

As for her wealth, Cockburn concedes, “I’m a little older than my rivals, so I have a little more assets.” In Congress, that would translate to the low-end of political wealth, she says.

“If anything, I’m land poor,” she continues. “I come from a well-to-do family, but that doesn’t mean they pay for everything.”

She recounts that at age 24, she married a “poor Irish writer. My family was Republican and my father said, ‘You’re on your own.’ To call me rich is ridiculous. I have been the breadwinner in my family and I care about equal pay.”

Medicare for all. And the second would be an assault weapons ban. “I have a hunting background,” she says. “I have seen weapons of war. They should not be in the hands of an 18-year-old in Florida.”

Cockburn stresses her differences from Garrett, starting with her conservation background. “I’ve thought a lot about the environment,” she says. “He’s right there voting to dismantle the EPA brick by brick.”

She cites a stream protection act Garrett helped repeal, and says coal ash in streams is a “big issue in Danville.”

The tax reform bill Garrett voted for will add $1.5 trillion to the deficit, she says. And he wants to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. And then there’s that March 2017 photo of Garrett with “white supremacist leader” Jason Kessler.

In talking to people throughout the district, Cockburn has made videos of the encounters and the issues they bring up.

She’s talked to veterans in Franklin County who suffer from PTSD. She’s talked to African-American community members in Buckingham County, where Garrett lives, who are going to have a giant compressor station that “sounds like a locomotive” in a historic district. “Fortyfive families are in the blast zone,” she says.

“Those are people who desperately need representation.”

Says Cockburn of her opponent, “It’s as if he has no concern for the people in the 5th District.”

Her husband, Andrew Cockburn, is Washington editor for Harper’s, and the couple have a Washington address, which had some questioning whether she even lives in the district.

The D.C. residence is her husband’s office, she says. They bought their Rappahannock farm 19 years ago, and 12 years ago made it their full-time home.

Andrew Cockburn raised some eyebrows when he tweeted after the first caucuses, “Leslie was defending the environment while others were defending rapists,” a remark that seemed directed at one of her opponents, criminal defense attorney Sneathern.

“I was saddened and disappointed by that,” says Sneathern. “He has apologized and I accepted his apology.”

“Attacking defense attorneys for doing their jobs isn’t something Democrats do— period,” wrote attorney Lloyd Snook on

Cockburn comes from a privileged background, and some wonder if her coastal elite creds will work with the rural voters in the 5th District.

She was born in high-end Hillsborough, California, the daughter of a shipping magnate. And her daughter, actress Olivia Wilde, and her fiance, Jason Sudeikis, bring a Hollywood connection that’s featured in a holiday photo on her website.

Facebook. He noted that the tweet came down more than 17 hours later.

And then there’s the public resignation of Greene County Democratic chair Elizabeth Alcorn, who, in a lengthy public letter, wrote she was resigning because “I have suffered harassment and intimidation from the Leslie Cockburn campaign for months over my insistence to keep the nomination fair and balanced for my voters.”

Alcorn, who served as a Madison County caucus official, took issue with Cockburn staff campaigning at the April 15 caucus, a big no-no, she says, and one of them was sent back to the observer section twice. The next day, she says Cockburn sent an email to the chair of the 5th District committee, Suzanne Long, accusing caucus officials of a “racist incident.”

“I cannot support such a person let alone encourage others in my community to support someone who exhibits behavior no different than politicians we wish to replace,” says Alcorn.

Alcorn says other committee chairs have been harassed by the Cockburn campaign.

“I think it’s going to be hard to energize the base when you’ve done a scorched earth with committees,” says Alcorn.

Cockburn says her campaign staff has received praise for its professionalism from a majority of caucus chairs.

Fifth District chair Long says she’s sorry to lose Alcorn, but adds, “I don’t think she had experience with the campaigns and caucuses.

I’m not making excuses for Cockburn,” but all the candidates were campaigning at the caucuses, she says.

As for whether the inter-party contretemps will affect Cockburn’s challenge of Garrett, says Long, “That’s an excellent question and I wish I was a genie who could answer that.”

Geoffrey Skelley at UVA’s Center for Politics doesn’t think the infighting will be a problem in the general election—unless it continues. “If you’re going to have a kerfuffle, it’s better to have it now.”

And while Skelley and other political junkies were disappointed the convention won’t be contested, Long sees it as an opportunity to have “a unity convention to defeat Tom Garrett.”

DISTRICT BREAKDOWN Virginia’s 5th District is the state’s largest at 10,181.03 square miles— larger in size than both New Jersey and Vermont. The 5th covers all or part of Greene, Campbell, Bedford, Albemarle, Nelson, Fluvanna, Buckingham, Cumberland, Appomattox, Prince Edward, Charlotte, Lunenburg, Franklin, Henry, Pittsylvania, Halifax, Mecklenburg, Brunswick, Fauquier, Rappahannock and Madison counties.

The punditocracy On April 18, the Cook Political Report moved the 5th District from “likely Republican” to “leans Republican.” Sabato’s Crystal Ball still rates the 5th District winner as likely Republican.

won Virginia by 5 points in 2016, Donald Trump won the district by 11 points. And in 2017, Democrat Ralph Northam won the governor’s race by 9 points statewide, but GOPer Ed Gillespie took the 5th by 9 points.

“That’s 18 points to the right” of the rest of the state, says Skelley, who adds that Gillespie was a stronger candidate than the current Republican Senate offerings of Corey Stewart and Delegate Nick Freitas.

“It’s not safe for Garrett by any means,” he says, but Cockburn needs several things to win: an environment that brings out an energized base, the top of the ticket—U.S. Senator Tim Kaine—to “totally dismantle the Republican candidate” and a lot of luck.

Garrett outperformed Trump in Albemarle in 2016, and “as an incumbent, could potentially outperform Republicans in the Senate race,” says Skelley.

“From her perspective, she’s got to talk to every Democrat in the district,” says Skelley.

“For Cockburn to win, she needs it to be a disproportionate turnout.”

Overall, the environment for Democrats seems good, he says, “but how good is unclear.”

Cockburn seems up for the challenge.

“To take on the 5th District is incredibly rewarding,” she says. “It’s in my backyard. I have done the work.”

have the accent as an entrepreneur that he sports in a campaign video.

And then there was the borrow-a-farm blunder for that same campaign video, called “Best I Can.” The campaign made cold calls to locals with farms to ask if they could use them for the ad shoot, according to the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news website, which quotes landowner Richard Foxx as saying, “My initial thought was, ‘You’re running for Congress in the 5th District of Virginia and nobody on your staff or that you know is a person with a farm?’ If you get out of Charlottesville, the whole district is rural.”

For that same ad, Huffstetler’s campaign manager, Kevin Zeithaml, put out a call on Facebook to borrow an old Ford pickup for a few hours.

Maybe that’s why rival Andrew Sneathern told C-VILLE, “My F-150 truck is one of the heroes of this campaign.”

Not surprisingly, Huffstetler had not responded to multiple requests for comment from C-VILLE at press time.

Roger Dean Huffstetler has been criticized for his efforts to borrow a farm and a pickup truck to shoot a campaign ad.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

C-VILLE Weekly has covered a number of elections, and if there’s one thing we hold true, it’s that a candidate running for office always wants publicity.

That was not the case for Roger Dean “RD” Huffstetler, and we’re not just saying that because we were snubbed when he announced his campaign a year ago after barely living in Charlottesville a year, moving here in 2016 when his OB-GYN wife took a position at Sentara Martha Jefferson.

The former Marine and North Carolina native touts his rural roots and parents who struggled with addiction, a background that would resonate in the heavily rural, heavily addicted 5th District. His website notes that he was the first in his family to go to college and that he went to graduate school on the G.I. Bill—but omits that his two graduate degrees are from Harvard.

Huffstetler worked in Silicon Valley for five years, and it was a video from a 2013 Zillabyte launch that had WINA radio host Rob Schilling noticing Huffstetler then did not

Metal band Salvaticus finds beauty in the order of things

By Erin O’Hare arts@c-ville.com

I

t’s the day after Earth Day, and Kevin Ardrey, Brian Weaver and Carter Felder —three of the four members of local black metal band Salvaticus—sit on a worn wooden bench under an open-air roofed shelter at Ivy Creek Natural Area. The dogwoods and redbuds have bloomed, clouds move through the blue sky and a breeze shakes pollen from the trees while birds twitter.

It seems purposeful that Salvaticus—a band that takes its name from a derivative of the Latin word “silviticus,” meaning wild, or untamed—would ask to convene at a nature center to discuss its music, which concentrates (and comments) on the relationship between human civilization and the natural world.

Salvaticus got its start in spring 2010, when guitarist Weaver and drummer Ardrey decided to break off from another band and do their own thing. If music is a language, Ardrey says, he and Weaver speak “the exact same dialect”—black metal—and they found it easy to communicate creatively. Over the years, they’ve added other musicians who speak that tongue, including Felder, also a guitarist, and current bassist Ben Kidd.

There’s something captivating about the expressiveness of black metal, they say. There are many subgenres of heavy metal: fast and aggressive (thrash metal, speed metal, power metal); bone-crunchingly heavy and crushing (death metal); slow and somber (doom metal). Black metal, Weaver explains, is more dynamic—it can be fast, aggressive and devastating at some points; slow, subtle and mellow at others, conveying positivity and negativity, hope and fear, all at once.

Ardrey, Weaver and Felder compare black metal to classical music, which they all listen to and love. “Classical music and black metal tickle the same nerve for me,” says Ardrey. “I

listen to both for similar reasons: They spur thought; they’re more intellectual musical pursuits than mainstream pop music. I like music that makes me think and ponder and feel, not just with my mind but with my heart.

I like music that takes you on a journey.”

And while not all black metal bands explore that dynamism, Salvaticus does, and it’s evident on the band’s forthcoming album, Ordo Naturalis (“Natural Order”).

A vinyl release is pending, but the band sold cassettes on its recent tour, which concludes with a show at Magnolia House this Saturday. It’ll be Salvaticus’ last Charlottesville show for a while, as Ardrey and Weaver are moving to Olympia, Washington, this summer, though they still plan to write and record with Felder and Kidd.

Ordo Naturalis builds thematically on the band’s 2014 debut, Hidden Manna, an ode to the connections between mankind and nature. Ordo Naturalis addresses the conflict between the two, specifically mankind’s failure to live in harmony with the natural world.

There’s “Collapse,” a vigorous track that incorporates one-off variations of melodies and riffs within a typical A-B-A-B structure, and the raw, aggressive “Inflict,” with lyrics about the pointlessness of modern consumerism, how humans mistreat one another as much as they mistreat nature.

Ardrey, Weaver and Felder credit much of the group’s thematic growth to Luke Smith, the band’s vocalist, lyricist and bass player

“I like music that makes me think and ponder and feel, not just with my mind but with my heart. I like music that takes you on a journey.”

KEVIN ARDREY

who died in January 2017, not long after recording his parts for Ordo Naturalis. Smith was the youngest member of the band, and Felder says “he still had that youthful anger that was needed to awaken” people.

On the record, Smith is audibly “upset and pissed off, and has just had it with life and with humans in general,” says Ardrey.

Not long before his death, Smith started putting a mic behind Ardrey’s drum kit during practices for their other band, Blooddrunk Trolls. “It seemed impossible at first,” Ardrey says of drumming and scream-singing at the same time (it is difficult), and he didn’t understand why Smith kept encouraging him to do so.

“It’s almost like he set you up or something,” says Felder, because after Smith died, Ardrey took on the duties of lead vocalist, learning not only Smith’s lyrics but his delivery of them.

“Every time we get together and play the songs, I’m channeling him and trying to do him justice. It’s his memory,” says Ardrey.

Ordo Naturalis is on the surface “a pretty angry record,” says Felder, but there’s more to it than that. “In some of the [instrumentation], you have the hope.”

It’s true, Weaver says, pointing at some nearby robins hopping across the grass— there are even bird sounds and spring peepers on “Ages of Ages,” the record’s penultimate song and the thematic climax of the album, a mellow, somber imagining of the state of the Earth after mankind’s extinction, as the natural world begins to regenerate.

Salvaticus has had to undergo its own regeneration over the last year and a half, relying on black metal as a conduit to a complete, realistic emotional and intellectual journey.

“We’re just trying to do what comes natural to us,” says Weaver, and along the way “convey a message that we think is worthwhile, express a truth that we believe in.

Hopefully that resonates with people.”

However, her contribution to “Mother Mother” doesn’t focus on her own motherhood. Instead, she’s showing work about her mother: two chromogenic prints with etched glass, each with a piece of writing on it. The first reads: “I told mommy I’m going to have a black baby when I grow up.” On the second: “She said just wait for your grandfather to die.”

“For me, that piece is about my innocence being interrupted by racism and racist thought,” Florence says. “How language is part of that, and how we transmit ideas into our children’s minds through our mouths and our language.”

Dillon Rogers also hints at the subtle influence of mothers with a series of photographs that overlay images of herself and her children. The subjects are nude, though “you can’t really see much of anything except the form,” Florence says.

“In one image, [Rogers’] body is totally in focus and very present. In the other one, she’s like a mist. And it’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s totally it. When you think of the growing relationship you had with your mother, she was a person, but she also wasn’t.

“Because mothers are human, but they’re also not human. They’re something more than that.”

then runs after him and literally measures the distance she can be from him.

In “The Split,” Boyts Yoder explores the everyday duality of being a mother. “You have the person that you were before you had kids.

That person doesn’t go away,” Florence says.

“Then you have the person that you are with your kids. You’re split between personalities, split between feelings and split between pure joy and pure terror at the same time.”

In a different video, queer mother Spencer Stonestreet demonstrates the burden of being expected to be a traditional Southern woman. Her work features a mother dragging furniture and housewares for three miles through a southern landscape.

“There’s heaviness that is present in some of the work, but there’s also lightness,” Florence says. “It comes around the whole idea of mother, that there’s this weight we bear, and there’s the lightness of being.”

A mother herself, the curator of the show identifies with many of the feelings expressed by the artists. “Once you become a mother, you realize that a lot of your fears and a lot of your hopes are exactly the same as everybody else’s. You’re really having a lot of the same feelings as the next person.”

hen you imagine a mother, what do you picture?

A woman up to her elbows in soapy dishwasher with a baby strapped to her chest or a toddler clinging to her ankle?

A woman who wheels and deals like a boss until she sprints off to daycare? Or do you think of your own mother? The mothers you know? Our universal longing for mother-love?

“It’s different for everybody,” says Ashley Florence, the curator of the group show “Mother Mother” at Studio IX. “We can’t limit ourselves into thinking that the idea of ‘mother’ says dirty dishes and screaming child. Because it’s just so much bigger than that.”

As a Charlottesville-based photographer, Florence sees the theme come up often in her work. “Not necessarily just motherhood, but my mother, and being mothered, and what is transmitted through that relationship. It’s something all of us, men and women alike, have experienced.”

But the subject, she says, feels fairly taboo in the art world. Unless it’s rendered in a smart enough way, “the basic experience of motherhood, or the mother in its everyday-ness,” she says, tends to get ignored.

The oversight prompted Florence to conceive a group show featuring female artists in her network, and so “Mother Mother” was born.

Fourteen women explore the idea of mother across a range of mediums, from sculpture, painting and illustration to photography, video, performance and collage.

Contributors include Lenka Clayton, Sarah Boyts Yoder, elin o’Hara slavick, Jina Valentine, Tracy Spencer Stonestreet, Laura Dillon Rogers, Lisa Ryan, Allyson Mellberg Taylor, Meredith McKown, Ashley Florence, Sage Latane Hastert, Amanda Monroe Finn, Holly Bass and Jamila Felton.

“These artists have really approached it in so many intelligent and sensitive ways.

There’s this tenderness, and connection, and humanity, but there’s also tenacity, and split personality, and there’s violence when it goes wrong,” Florence says. “The commonality really is the polarity and the vastness, because it’s not an identifiable, nameable, easy-to-talk-about-able subject.”

The experience of motherhood ranges as widely as the show’s themes.

Nervous limitation is the center of Clayton’s video project, which follows her in different environments. She lets her son walk away from her until she gets nervous,

location of the Infinity Stones. Possession of one means mastery of one of the fundamental truths of all existence: space, time, power, reality, mind and soul. Thanos, the Titan responsible for the alien attack on New York, has been pursuing them in order to achieve what he believes will be ultimate order in the universe. The disparate corners of the MCU, including those who have not met, team up to try to slow his efforts by either taking him on directly or battling his powerful minions.

MCU vets the Russo brothers, directors of Winter Soldier, Civil War and now Infinity War, show skill in combining established lore with new story elements and creating

intrigue in situations that ought to have been predictable. Their understanding of the characters on a deep level means no one is wasted, even in a cast this large. And most refreshing of all, the action sequences, though frenetic, have clear stakes and make complete visual sense.

But no amount of technical wizardry could have brought this together as effectively as the character at its core, Thanos.

Underneath all of the motion capture and special effects, Brolin brings a real physicality and tragedy to him and his mission.

Watching him explain his methods to those who stand in his way is gripping, and his

integrity is never cheapened by some revelation or crucial plot point that was simply hidden until an opportune moment. He is a monster, but he is not a hypocrite, which makes him that much more dangerous and compelling to watch. Viewers will feel different levels of attachment to the various characters, but Thanos is the reason to see this as quickly as possible.

There will come a day when it is no longer a given that a Marvel movie will be good, but the success of Infinity War means all bets are off as to when, why or how.

utting right to the chase, Avengers: Infinity War is pretty damn good and may even be unpredictable for the Easter egg-hunting, online theory crowd —but how the hell do you even begin to describe a movie like this? Installment to installment, the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies work more or less as individual stories with just enough narrative crossover for each title to stand on its own. It’s helpful to know what happens in Civil War before seeing Black Panther, but if not, you’ll still get on board pretty quickly. Spider-Man: Homecoming ties into the aftermath of the first Avengers team-up but its story is appropriately self-contained.

You may want to look up Loki and Odin before seeing Thor: Ragnarok, but let’s face it, the third Thor movie eliminates any reason to rewatch the first two.

So here we are with perhaps the most ambitious blockbuster in history featuring not only some of today’s most expensive talent but the weight of 10 years of story building. Going on the assumption that you know who Dr. Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Vision and Scarlet Witch are, and how they got here, Infinity War still works as a standalone story of a true believer dedicated to the mission at all costs. The villain, Thanos (Josh Brolin), holds it all together, and even with all of the twists and turns, is the biggest revelation of all.

Explaining how we got here would be like watching the series finale of “Lost” while answering the questions of someone who’s never seen it before, but the simmering background plot of the entire MCU has been the

Dave Moore believes in the sensuality of painting.

“I want my paintings to look like paintings,” he says. “I am not trying to fool anyone into believing that an object is on the canvas. The painting is the object and the experience, whatever the subject may be.”

A self-described “art history nut” who loves “all styles, time periods, cultures, movements,” and the fact that it’s all still ongoing, Moore particularly loves experimenting with materials, seeing what paint can do in a certain environment.

Through the month of May, a series of enamel, acrylic and mixedmedia paintings on wood panel that Moore has made over the last decade will be on view at the Music Resource Center, including “Current” (pictured), which Moore says is the result of “paint sliding around and drying weirdly in really cold temperatures.”

From that sensual starting point, the rest of the art-making process “becomes a process of editing and problem-solving to finish the painting... it’s like a game or a puzzle,” he says. “But of course, there is always nature, landscape, myth, love, music, everything—to get inspired by.”

Moore is currently reworking some of the very large paintings that he made during the same time period, ones that won’t be included in this particular show, which he thinks of as a preview of what’s to come.

It’s “like a period on a sentence,” he says. “Then I can start the next paragraph.” —Erin O’Hare

THOROUGHLY VETTED

Tail of woe A rigorous outing can make it a drag to wag

By Mike Fietz, DVM

Yes, my name is Sam-I-Am and, yes, I like green eggs and ham.

But what I like even more is running and playing and having fun with an active family who really gets me, y’know?

Hey, I’m Big Red. You can plainly see I’m strong and agile; I love exploring and exercising my mind with puzzle toys and adventures.

Let’s adventure together, then snuggle on the couch.

I immediately knew he was paying the price for our fun morning. It was a classic case of limber tail.

amination that the tail isn’t broken, but if there is any doubt, X-rays can put them to rest.

Happily, limber tail doesn’t usually last that long. Most cases resolve on their own in a few days, while severe sprains may take a few weeks.

No specific treatment is required, but anti-inflammatory medication is sometimes used to dull the pain. As with most muscle injuries, time and rest are the best medicine.

Despite being a minor and temporary problem, limber tail seems uniquely upsetting to peo-

ple. It’s natural to see a listless tail and figure the same must be true of the dog wearing it. But apart from some discomfort, these dogs are perfectly capable of feeling as much joy and enthusiasm as always. It’s just a little harder for them to show it. Take it easy for a week or two, and you can both go find some new things to wag about.

Dr. Mike Fietz is a small-animal veterinarian at Georgetown Veterinary Hospital. He received his veterinary degree from Cornell University in 2003 and has lived in Charlottesville since.

t was the first warm weekend in a long while, and it seemed best inaugurated with a morning hike at Sugar Hollow. My dog isn’t much of a swimmer, but he likes to wade through the stream when it crosses the trail and will splash around in watering holes. This should have been a happy excursion for him, and I thought it was—until we got home.

His tail, normally carried high and perpetually swaying side-to-side, was low and limp. Even when tossed a treat, he seemed reluctant to move it at all. I gave it a feel, and he winced in pain as I put some pressure near the base. I immediately knew he was paying the price for our fun morning. It was a classic case of limber tail.

Though historically associated with working dogs like hounds and retrievers, limber tail is a common affliction in a variety of house dogs as well. I see a few cases every year, and they tend to concentrate in early spring when dogs are starting to exercise harder after a comparatively sedentary winter. This makes sense since limber tail is thought to be a sprain injury of the muscles that control the tail. It’s not much different than pulling any other muscle with overzealous exercise.

Dogs with limber tail often have a history of swimming or being outside in the rain. It’s not completely clear why, although it stands to reason that tails are heavier when wet, putting increased strain on the tail muscles. Colder temperatures may also put those muscles at risk. As a result, this condition is sometimes called swimmer’s tail or cold tail.

Whatever you call it, cases look pretty much the same. Instead of their usual bright and happy wagger, dogs come in with a lame and sullen one. The base of the tail may be swollen or painful to the touch. It’s usually clear from the ex-

doesn’t plan to change much about the shop (except for the fact that it’s now offering the tasso ham biscuit all day every day), takes over ownership from Matt Greene and James Lum III, who founded JM Stock four and a half years ago.

Another Reason to cheers Local brewery Reason Beer, which founders Mark Fulton, Patrick Adair and Jeff Raileanu opened in Charlottesville in August 2017, has been named one of Beer Advocate’s 50 Best New Breweries of 2017. The lineup, announced in the craft brew magazine’s spring 2018 issue, was selected by the publication’s writers, subscribers and followers.

Goodbye, Greenie’s Greenie’s, known for its vegan barbecue and collard wraps, has left The Spot at 110 Second St. NW. On Wednesday, April 25, balloons and colorful signs reading “Happy Final Day” and “Well Done Greenie’s” decorated the front of the tiny takeout window. Greenie’s owner Kathy Zentgraf says she’s accomplished what she set out to do when she opened the takeout window a few years ago, and it’s time for her to move on

to something new and similarly unusual.

“I [will] miss—without adequate words— so much, seeing our Spot people every day, from the guys at The Haven who stopped by to remind us to keep our tip jar inside the window, to our regulars who shared news, worries and plans.” Julie Vu’s Vu Noodles aren’t going anywhere, though, and will remain at The Spot as well as at The Jefferson School Café.

or those of us who prefer to eat our way through Virginia history, the Virginia Humanities Virginia Folklife Program Apprenticeship Showcase, which takes place Sunday, May 6, at James Monroe’s Highland, is a must-attend annual event. It’s a chance to see how different Virginia culinary traditions are preserved as they are passed down from master to apprentice, and this year’s lineup is pretty sweet.

Third-generation candymaker Gene Williams of H.E. Williams Candy Company is famous for his peach buds, cinnamon swirls, fancy Christmas candy and other old-fashioned delectables, which he and other family members make by hand in Chesapeake. He and his apprentice, his cousin, Lee Bagley, will be on hand to share how the colorful, glossy treats are made (and, of course, how they taste). H.E. Williams Candy Company has been in the Williams family for nearly a century, and it’s one of the last remaining family-run hardcandy factories in the country.

But wait, there’s more! There will be tastings and demonstrations from master baklava maker Sondus Assas Moussa of Harrisonburg and apprentice Sanaa Abdul Jalil; as well as soul food cooking master Tina Ingram-Murphy of Henrico County and apprentice Cheryl Maroney-Beaver. The Ingram family of Richmond will prepare and serve a soul supper and the Proclamation Stew Crew will ladle out real Brunswick stew while Frances Davis fries apple pies. As for what to do when you’re between meals, take in some of the music and craft offerings as well.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Gemini (May 21-June 20): I bet that a healing influence will arrive from an unexpected direction and begin to work its subtle but intense magic before anyone realizes what’s happening. I predict that the bridge you’re building will lead to a place that’s less flashy but more useful than you imagined. And I’m guessing that although you may initially feel jumbled by unforeseen outcomes, those outcomes will ultimately be redemptive. Hooray for lucky flukes and weird switcheroos!

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Born under the astrological sign of Cancer, Franz Kafka is regarded as one of the 20th century’s major literary talents. Alas, he made little money from his writing. Among the day jobs he did to earn a living were stints as a bureaucrat at insurance companies. His superiors there praised his efforts. “Superb administrative talent,” they said about him. Let’s use this as a takeoff point to meditate on your destiny, Cancerian. Are you good at skills you’re not passionate about? Are you admired and acknowledged for having qualities that aren’t of central importance to you? If so, the coming weeks and months will be a favorable time to explore this apparent discrepancy. I believe you will have the power to get closer to doing more of what you love to do.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If you really wanted to, you could probably break the world’s record for most words typed per minute with the nose (103 characters in 47 seconds). I bet you could also shatter a host of other marks, as well, like eating the most hot chiles in two minutes, or weaving the biggest garland using defunct iPhones or dancing the longest on a tabletop while listening to a continuous loop of Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” But I hope you won’t waste your soaring capacity for excellence on meaningless stunts like those. I’d rather see you break your own personal records for accomplishments like effective communications, high-quality community-building and smart career moves.

Virgo

Taurus (April 20-May 20): These days you have an enhanced ability to arouse the appreciation and generosity of your allies, friends and loved ones. The magnetic influence you’re emanating could even start to evoke the interest and inquiries of mere acquaintances and random strangers. Be discerning about how you wield that potent stuff! On the other hand, don’t be shy about using it to attract all the benefits it can bring you. It’s okay to be a bit greedier for goodies than usual as long as you’re also a bit more compassionate than usual.

regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English literature. John Ruskin was a prominent art critic and social thinker. What did these four men have in common? They never had sex with anyone. They were virgins when they died. I view this fact with alarm. What does it mean that Western culture is so influenced by the ideas of men who lacked this fundamental initiation? With that as our context, I make this assertion: If you hope to make good decisions in the coming weeks, you must draw on the wisdom you have gained from being sexually entwined with other humans.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting,” said 20th-century abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning. “Cézanne did it. Picasso did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell.” In de Kooning’s view, these “destructive” artists performed a noble service. They demolished entrenched ideas about the nature of painting, thus liberating their colleagues and descendants from stale constraints. Judging from the current astrological omens, Libra, I surmise the near future will be a good time for you to wreak creative destruction in your own field or sphere. What progress and breakthroughs might be possible when you dismantle comfortable limitations?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mayflies are aquatic insects with short life spans. Many species live less than 24 hours, even though the eggs they lay may take three years to hatch. I suspect this may be somewhat of an apt metaphor for your future, Scorpio. A transitory or short-duration experience could leave a legacy that will ripen for a long time before it hatches. But that’s where the metaphor breaks down. When your legacy has fully

ripened—when it becomes available as a living presence—I bet it will last a long time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When a critic at Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the Beatles’ Abbey Road in 1969, he said some of the songs were “so heavily overproduced that they are hard to listen to.” He added, “Surely they must have enough talent and intelligence to do better than this.” Years later, however, Rolling Stone altered its opinion, naming Abbey Road the 14th best album of all time. I suspect, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase with metaphorical resemblances to the earlier assessment. But I’m reasonably sure that this will ultimately evolve into being more like the later valuation—and it won’t take years.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, love should be in full bloom. You should be awash in worthy influences that animate your beautiful passion. So how about it? Are you swooning and twirling and uncoiling? Are you overflowing with a lush longing to celebrate the miracle of being alive? If your answer is yes, congratulations. May your natural intoxication levels continue to rise. But if my description doesn’t match your current experience, you may be out of sync with cosmic rhythms. And if that’s the case, please take emergency measures. Escape to a sanctuary where you can shed your worries and inhibitions and maybe even your clothes. Get drunk on undulating music as you dance yourself into a dreamy love revelry.

as we kicked a big orange ball around a playground. I agreed with her! “Twenty years from now,” I told her, “I’m going to remind you that you told me this heartful truth.” I didn’t tell her the corollary that I’d add to her axiom, but I’ll share it with you: If anything or anyone or seems to be all bad or all good, you’re probably not seeing the big picture. There are exceptions, however. For example, I bet you will soon experience or are already experiencing a graceful stroke of fate that’s very close to being all good.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “Enodation” is an old, nearly obsolete English word that refers to the act of untying a knot or solving a knotty problem. “Enodous” means “free of knots.” Let’s make these your celebratory words of power for the month of May, Pisces. Speak them out loud every now and then. Invoke them as holy chants and potent prayers leading you to discover the precise magic that will untangle the kinks and snarls you most need to untangle.

Aries

Aquarius

(March 21-April 19): I hate rampant consumerism almost as much as I hate hatred, so I don’t offer the following advice lightly: Buy an experience that could help liberate you from the suffering you’ve had trouble outgrowing. Or buy a toy that can thaw the frozen joy that’s trapped within your outof-date sadness. Or buy a connection that might inspire you to express a desire you need help in expressing. Or buy an influence that will motivate you to shed a belief or theory that has been cramping your lust for life. Or all of the above! (And if buying these things isn’t possible, consider renting.)

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Life never gives you anything that’s all bad or all good,” so proclaimed the smartest Aquarian 6-year-old girl I know
