Law and disorder To protest Corey Long’s June 8 disorderly conduct conviction for igniting an aerosol can during last summer’s Unite the Right rally, a crowd gathered that night and marched along the Downtown Mall and past the Market Street Parking Garage. About two dozen sign-carrying participants chanted “Black Lives Matter” and “Corey Long did nothing wrong.” By evening’s end, police had arrested seven people for blocking the streets, a violation of Virginia Code 46.2-926. For more information about Long’s conviction and the ensuing protest, turn to page 12.

Pleasants is retired—and we’re still waiting to learn if Dr. RaShall Brackney has yet to sign her employment contract to become the new police chief. Neither Mayor Walker nor City Communications Director Brian Wheeler could confirm it when I asked the question of both of them this week.

My understanding is that Capt. Wendy Lewis (in the shadow of City Manager Maurice Jones) is running the show until further notice.

Old Dominion Capital Management is a registered investment advisory firm with offices in Charlottesville and Alexandria (VA), offering integrated investment management and financial planning services.

In last week’s story “Compressor anxiety: Historic African American community alleges environmental racism,” we incorrectly identified the number of existing Transco pipelines in Buckingham County. There are four. And we incorrectly identified the source of Buckingham population information in Dominion’s application for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. That came from the U.S. Census Bureau.

—PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP on UVA student Otto Warmbier, who was brutalized in North Korea, at a press conference during his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

The people swept away in their Toyota Prius by recent Ivy Creek flash flooding on Old Ballard Road have been identified as Sugar Hollow residents Robert and Carroll Gilges, who were 82 and 79 years old, respectively. They were found dead on May 31 and June 5.

Martese Johnson, the former UVA student whose bloody face went viral after Virginia ABC agents approached him in March 2015 on suspicion of using a fake ID and slammed him to the ground, has a July 10 settlement hearing scheduled for his $3 million lawsuit against the agents and ABC.

Last summer Matt Carver, now 27, racked up 21 felony counts that included terrorizing a Crozet woman when he broke into her house. He also kicked out the window of a cop car, leaping out at 45mph while handcuffed and going on the lam for 15 hours.

In court June 6, Carver apologized for his meth-fueled rampage, and was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

LOVE ESTATE DROPS LAWSUIT AGAINST HUGUELY The estate of Yeardley Love nonsuited a nearly $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against Love’s former boyfriend George Huguely June 11. Huguely was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2010 death of Love and sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Her mother, Sharon Love, filed the civil suit in 2012, and it’s been continued four times. Most recently the suit was put on pause while a federal case was heard in Maryland in which Chartis Property Casualty balked at paying off a $6 million

George Huguely

Sharon Love

policy held by Huguely’s mother and stepfather. A Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled in Chartis’ favor, and Love has asked the entire appeals court to revisit the ruling.

Through his attorney Matt Green, Huguely asked Judge Rick Moore to hold off on signing the motion to nonsuit until June 20, when the Fourth Circuit will decide whether it will reconsider the ruling.

The Supreme Court of Virginia has ruled a plaintiff can nonsuit

at any point and doesn’t have to give a reason. Moore said normally he immediately signs the motion, but “I really do think it’s important in a case like this to hear you out.”

The three-week jury trial was scheduled to begin July 30. Love has six months to file the suit again, and Green believes she will.

And while he knows public sympathy isn’t with his client, Green said, “It’s just taxing on George to get emotionally ready every 18 months for trial.”

Crime spree

@cvillenews_desk

Martese settlement?

The Virginia State Police released its annual Crime in Virginia report for 2017. Violent crimes like murder and rape decreased throughout the state by 3.9 percent, and property crimes dropped almost 3 percent. However, drug arrests were up nearly 16 percent, and 71 percent of all drug arrests were for marijuana. Charlottesville and Albemarle bucked that trend, with drug arrests decreasing— by 43 percent in Charlottesville.

Here’s what the offense totals looked like on the local level.

June 13 – 19, 2018 c-ville.com

Dana William Naylor Jr., the driver of the garbage truck that was hit by an Amtrak train carrying GOP congressmen in Crozet in January, has been indicted on one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of DUI maiming. Truck passenger Christopher Foley died in the crash.

‘Big deal’ Nearly 5,000 locals eligible for coverage with Medicaid expansion lisa@c-ville.com

M

could be eligible for coverage, according to the Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis. And Toscano says as many as 10,000 could be eligible in the region, a “not inconsequential” number.

Virginia’s Medicaid program is one of the most restrictive in the country, with disabled individuals making more than $9,700 a year ineligible, as were poor, able-bodied, childless adults. The expansion allows people making 138 percent of the federal poverty level—$16,643—to be covered, with the federal government picking up 90 percent of the cost.

The expansion has a work requirement, which Tory Brown, spokesperson for Progress Virginia, says will lessen the gains in coverage and require an expensive bureaucracy to manage. “The work requirement was a bit of face saving for Republicans,” she says. “It’s not really that people are too lazy to work.” For people who have to work to get care but need care to be able to work, she calls it a “catch 22.”

Lena Seville, who ran for City Council in 2015 and has no health insurance, is worried that the work requirement could affect her eligibility for Medicaid coverage. “I’m in the middle of starting my own business,” she says, and whether she can get health insurance will depend on how the work requirements are written.

She says she’d hate to have to give up her volunteer work and new business to search for jobs,

The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis estimated the number of people who would be eligible for health insurance coverage under Medicaid expansion by legislative district and locality. Here are the numbers for the districts of the four delegates who represent Charlottesville and Albemarle, and how they voted.

25th District 2,000 eligible in Western Albemarle, Augusta and Rockingham counties Delegate Steve Landes voted no on expansion

“which I already do and it’s hard to get a good fit.”

Says Seville, “I was excited, but now I’m cautious. I may not have health insurance when it’s done.”

Virginia Organizing board member Emma Hill points out that a lot of people work full-time and don’t have health insurance. “We have a lot of places that don’t pay a living wage—the university is one of the worst offenders.”

People without insurance often delay treatment, she says, and Medicaid expansion could “prevent people from dying.”

Pam Sutton-Wallace, CEO of UVA Medical Center, doesn’t expect “measurably significant” changes from Medicaid expansion because nearly 30 percent of the hospital’s patients already are either on Medicaid, self pay or are indigent. “What we’re likely to see are more self-pay patients using Medicaid,” she says.

Her concern is whether the newly eligible will have access to primary care. “Some doctors aren’t accepting new patients,” she says. That, and whether emergency rooms will see a drop in the number of patients who wait until the last minute to seek care are “areas ripe for study.”

“I want to take preventive action so I don’t run into problems later on,” says Bergstrom. “We would gladly add in the cost of health care for me if it was a number remotely in reach, but we cannot spend nearly 80 percent of my income on one budget line item.”

57th District 3,400 eligible in Charlottesville and parts of Albemarle Delegate David Toscano voted yes

June 13 – 19, 2018 c-ville.com

58th District 3,100 eligible in parts of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene and Rockingham counties Delegate Rob Bell voted no 59th District 3,300 eligible in southern Albemarle, parts of Appomattox, Buckingham, Campbell and Nelson counties Delegate Matt Fariss

voted no

House Minority Leader David Toscano says not only will 400,000 Virginians get coverage with Medicaid expansion, but teachers will get raises and other budget items will be funded with the influx of federal dollars.

Robert Davis finally will receive compensation for the nearly 13 years he spent in prison.

The General Assembly’s passage May 30 of a budget that expands Medicaid makes nearly 400,000 Virginians now eligible for health insurance. The previously stalled budget also helps a local man who spent almost 13 years in prison.

Robert Davis turned 34 years old May 22, and one thing he didn’t get for his birthday was the state-mandated compensation for a wrongful conviction for the 2003 Crozet slayings of Nola Charles and her toddler son.

False confession experts called his Albemarle police interview a “textbook

case” and Governor Terry McAuliffe granted Davis a full pardon in December 2016. Yet the nearly $600,000 he’s eligible for under Virginia’s formula for wrongful incarceration had been held up by the lack of a budget.

“The good news is with all the political posturing, we got it done in the end,” says Delegate David Toscano, who carried the bill authorizing $585,313 in relief to Davis.

Davis has struggled in the two-and-a-half years since he was released from prison, working four or five part-time jobs to make $12,000 last year. He says he’s lived in fear

his car would die on him, and he wanted to use the $10,000 tuition included in his compensation to get a certification in HVAC, electrical or home repair.

He’ll get an initial lump sum payment of $116,463, with the balance going into an annuity.

“The money may appear to be substantial, but it does not nearly cover 13 years of his life,” says Davis’ attorney Steve Rosenfield.

“I’m excited,” says Davis. “I can quit three of my jobs and keep the two I really like.”—Lisa Provence

ary Linn Bergstrom was in Boston over Memorial Day when she got a really bad, eyes-swollen-shut case of poison ivy. “I had to wait to go to the doctor until I had enough money in the bank,” says the 38-year-old Nia instructor.

Bergstrom is one of almost 5,000 people in Charlottesville and Albemarle who will qualify for Medicaid under the biennial budget Governor Ralph Northam signed June 7 that expanded health insurance coverage for nearly 400,000 Virginians who make too little to qualify under the Affordable Care Act or too much—or are too healthy—to qualify for Medicaid.

Her doctor’s visit and medication cost almost $400. “I think it’s pretty common to not have that amount of cash on hand,” she says.

And being in Massachusetts, which passed an individual health care mandate in 2006, people found it hard to believe she didn’t have insurance.

“Everyone was arguing with me that of course you have health insurance, you must have forgotten your card,” she says.

Bergstrom makes around $7,000 or $8,000 a year, depending on how many classes she teaches. “My last wellness checkup was 11 or 12 years ago,” she says, and the last time she checked, health insurance would cost her around $500 a month. She lives in a household of three working adults who pay all their bills. “Health insurance is the only bill we cannot afford, or even imagine affording,” she says.

To House Minority Leader David Toscano, Medicaid expansion is a “really big deal” and one he’s worked on for the past five years.

Former Governor Terry McAuliffe made it a lynchpin of his administration, but he left office with no success in the face of a recalcitrant Republican-controlled General Assembly.

That all changed with the 2017 elections that swept 15 Democrats into the House of Delegates.

“I began to see the possibilities after the election last fall,” says Toscano. Native son Northam won by nine points—“the widest margin of any statewide candidate. There’s always a number of reasons why, but of all of them I think the election was the biggest.”

Toscano represents all of Charlottesville and parts of Albemarle, and 3,400 people in his 57th District

“I lit the can because he wouldn’t get out of my presence,” Long told the judge, though it is unclear whether he was referring to Preston or another man who can be seen swinging a rolled up flag at Long in a photo of the incident that has since gone viral.

Preston pleaded no contest May 9 to a charge of discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, a Class 4 felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $100,000.

Long was also accused of assault and battery by rally attendee Harold Crews in a separate incident, but Platania said he was unable to reach Crews, and the charge was dismissed.

Richmond-based defense attorney Jeroyd Greene said Long had been spit on and called racial slurs that day, and that Long first sprayed his aerosol can without lighting it. He only lit it when he perceived a threat, which doesn’t make a case for disorderly conduct, the attorney argued.

In fact, Greene said two men, including Preston, who fell out of line with their white supremacist allies and moved toward Long once they walked down the steps at the park, were the true aggressors who acted disorderly.

“There’s no evidence that they’re doing anything at all but walking down the steps,” said Platania, who argued that lighting the aerosol can was enough of an “annoyance or alarm,” which is required to prove disorderly conduct.

Downer said the state’s disorderly conduct statute is complicated and problematic, and in his 17 years of experience, he’s seen only a few people convicted of the crime.

“I don’t have the least bit of doubt of his guilt of disorderly conduct,” Downer said.

“It clearly motivated people to react in a way that involved a breach of the peace.”

That night, a couple dozen activists, carrying signs and banners, gathered in Justice Park around 9:30pm. They marched to the Downtown Mall, where they echoed the same chants they shouted outside the courthouse that day.

news@c-ville.com

Corey Long (center) will likely only serve 10 days in jail out of the 360 he was sentenced to, according to his legal adviser, Malik Shabazz (right).

By the time they made it to the west end of the mall and turned right to march down Ridge McIntire Road, they had gained the attention of police in at least two vehicles and on two bikes. As some marchers spilled off the sidewalk and onto the street, police demanded they step back onto the sidewalk, nudging activist Nic McCarthy as he shouted, “Corey Long protected us! Where were you?”

McCarthy was arrested after the protesters made it to Market Street, where they stopped traffic by, again, refusing to get out of the street.

Nearly 20 police officers were present on Market Street and the area was awash in blue and red lights as cops and about 20 activists engaged in screaming matches. Approximately 15 other marchers immediately obeyed police and stepped out of the roadway.

Veronica Fitzhugh did not. She lay in the middle of a Market Street crosswalk until multiple police officers dragged her to one of their squad vans. Fitzhugh and McCarthy were also arrested for obstructing free passage at the July 8 Ku Klux Klan rally in Justice Park when they, along with several other protesters,

locked arms in front of the gate that the Klan planned to enter the park through.

Police demanded that local photographer and frequent C-VILLE contributor Eze Amos, who was documenting the protest, step out of the roadway. He argued that he was a journalist, and that pedestrians are allowed to walk in the crosswalk.

“I can take photos for God’s sake,” Amos said. “That’s my job.”

To that, the officer said Amos, who was not arrested, could not walk back and forth across the crosswalk while officers were making arrests.

Police did arrest Star Petersen, a victim of the August 12 car attack who parked her wheelchair in the middle of Market Street, facing traffic, and threw two middle fingers into the air. She was given a summons, and after eventually moving a bit further down the street, she did it again. This time, police wheeled her out of the street, and called an ambulance to haul her to jail.

As the remaining activists waited for the night to play out, one could be heard saying to the crowd, “Y’all want me to go to Lowe’s and get torches? They’ll let us march then.”

“I

t is what it is. It’s no sweat.”

That’s the statement Corey Long gave June 8 outside the Charlottesville General District Courthouse after he was convicted of disorderly conduct for lighting an aerosol can and pointing it in the direction of white supremacists on August 12.

Some of Long’s supporters weren’t quite so blasé about the conviction, and that night, seven were arrested outside the Charlottesville police station for blocking Market Street.

After the hearing, community activists wiped tears from their eyes and hastily left the courthouse when Judge Robert Downer sentenced Long to 360 days in jail, with all but 20 suspended, after Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania advocated for no jail time.

“I find that this behavior was very serious,” Downer said when he went against the prosecutor’s recommendation.

After the conviction, Long’s legal adviser offered a few more words than his client.

“Corey Long was and is and remains a hero,” said Malik Shabazz, president of Black Lawyers for Justice, to cheers from the dozens of community activists who showed up to support the 24-year-old who they say protected the town during the Unite the Right rally that left three people dead and many injured.

Shabazz echoed what activists have said since his client was charged: “Corey Long did nothing wrong.”

He said that in Virginia, inmates with good behavior only serve half of their sentenced time for misdemeanor charges, and predicted Long will likely be incarcerated for 10 days. Long was ordered to report to the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail on June 22.

Shabazz told Long they’ll be the “proudest days you will serve in your life,” and reminded him and the crowd that Martin Luther King Jr. was also arrested and convicted.

As white supremacists filed out of Emancipation Park on August 12, immediately after law enforcement had declared the Unite the Right rally an unlawful assembly, Frank Buck testified that he heard someone say, “Kill the nigger.” He then saw Baltimore Ku Klux Klan leader Richard Preston point his handgun at Long, who was outside of the park and holding the homemade flamethrower with his arm extended. Buck said the flames were first between 20 and 24 inches, and then a bit shorter.

“I thought [Long] was going to be shot and killed,” Buck said. “I then heard the gunshot.”

He says he saw the bullet hit the ground near Long’s feet, causing a tuft of dirt to shoot into the air. He then saw Preston lower his gun and exit the area.

Going down UVA landmarks face wrecking ball

By Jonathan Haynes reporter@c-ville.com

SKYCLAD AERIAL

The Cavalier Inn (above) and Villa Diner (which will reopen at a new location later this month) recently said goodbye to their longtime homes on Emmet Street.

the long-term commitment of its employees. “We have staff members who have worked with us for 10, 12 years…so we [are] a very well-oiled machine,” she says.

The Villa has cultivated a loyal clientele since Beachley and her husband, Ken, purchased it in 2005. “I’ve seen people bring their babies in and watched them grow up,” Beachley says. “I’ve been to the funerals of some of my customers.”

The city offers pool scholarships on a sliding scale up to 90 percent, which means an eligible student could get a summer pass for $2.90, and a family with two adults and three students could get five passes for $17.80 total, according to parks and rec director Brian Daly.

Currently, 575 households are enrolled in the scholarship program, which makes them eligible for parks and rec classes and activities, and 315 individuals in the program have summer pool passes, says Daly.

Walker says his group is buying passes this week.

“Families who contact us, we’ll deliver the passes to Jefferson School, their homes or at the park.”

Darnell Lamont Walker was surprised when he went to Washington Park Pool in 2013 and it cost $6 to get in. “I remember when it was 50 cents,” he says.

Since then, Walker, who now lives in New York and is a writer for “Sesame Street,” has been raising money to send kids to Charlottesville’s public pools.

“Lots of parents can’t afford $6 or $29,” which is the amount a summer pass costs a city student, he says. Last year, he got enough contributions to buy pool passes for about 150 people, and he wants to buy at least 100 this year. At press time, Walker has raised $1,758 on GoFundMe and was asking anyone who needed a pass to contact him on the Facebook group Charlottesville Swims.

with the university’s plan to convert the lot into a green space. “I’ve been telling people that if I can’t be there,” she says, “then I’d love to have green space.”

The UVA Board of Visitors started planning the renovations in 2015. The foundation contracted DumontJanks, a Bostonbased architectural consulting firm, to provide strategic landscaping plans in 2016.

Last year, the foundation decided against renewing some of its Emmet Street businesses in order to begin the project.

The renovation plan aims to unite Central Grounds with the rest of the UVA campus, bolster the local drainage system, place utilities underground, make way for green space and reduce traffic congestion in the area.

Buildings along the 14.5-acre stretch, including the soon-to-be demolished inn and diner, have been cordoned off with green safety fencing in the meantime.

The Villa’s close proximity to UVA Grounds helped draw students and faculty. Notably, UVA athletic teams frequented the restaurant during summer training, and members of the university guides, who lead campus tours, came twice a year for their initiation ceremonies, when they performed skits and sang songs. Beachley is confident the Villa will enjoy comparable success in its new location, a mile up the road in the former home of the Royal Indian Restaurant.

“We’re well aware that our old location provided us some great opportunity with sporting events and people walking from the Corner,” she says.

“But we’re really excited about being close to our [customer-base]. …I’ve had some people say ‘you’re closer to me now.’ ” Though sad the foundation didn’t renew her lease, she says she’s pleased

he Cavalier Inn and Villa Diner bid their Emmet Street locations farewell after graduation weekend last month, as the University of Virginia Foundation prepares to raze their buildings later in the summer to renovate the Ivy Corridor at the Emmet Street/Ivy Road intersection.

The Cavalier Inn, built in 1965 and acquired by the foundation in 1998, accommodated a diverse range of people, including visitors coming to tour UVA, attend graduations or return for alumni weekends.

It also lodged football players during summer training and hosted local organizations like the Central Virginia Watercolor Guild.

Stephanie Harder, a former UVA psychology student, worked the front desk in 2009. “It felt kind of like a family,” she says. “A bunch of different people, but everyone got along great.”

The inn was there for dark times, as well.

In October 2009, it housed a hotline center after 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington disappeared from the nearby John Paul Jones Arena. “It was in my last week or two,” Harder said. “There was a lot of commotion.”

The inn will not be relocated. However, UVA President Teresa Sullivan’s Hospitality Task Force has recommended a replacement to put up guests and host conferences.

The Villa Diner, which will reopen at 1250 N. Emmet St. on June 18, has made a similar impact. The restaurant is known for its breakfast fare and community atmosphere, which coowner Jennifer Beachley attributes to

le, who support local businesses in a way that Richey says isn’t often found elsewhere.

“I think we are back on track downtown, though I do think things would be slightly better without some of the downtown issues that have been accosting us over the last years, like hyped up parking issues that are not really issues, panhandling and, of course, last summer’s social unrest,” he adds.

As for the local entertainment industry, Kirby Hutto, the general manager at the Sprint Pavilion, says it’s not a great indicator of tourism.

“Our patrons honestly are not true tourists,” he says. “They’re coming here to see the show. All of our performance metrics are based on how popular the artist is.”

And folks at the Paramount, the historic theater on the Downtown Mall, say they haven’t seen any decrease in sales: More than 113,000 people attended at least 300 events at the Paramount last year—one of them being a public funeral for Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old killed in the August 12 car attack—and director of marketing Maran

Garland says recent events and attendees are consistent with their yearly projections.

The Paramount aims to benefit central Virginia artistically, educationally and charitably, says Garland, and to help drum up business by keeping local restaurants and hotels in mind when setting times for events.“When we can partner with our neighbors to achieve our mission, and support downtown, it is a win-win for all,” she says.

When asked about trends in the wedding industry, a slight disagreement exists between wedding professionals, but they can all agree on one thing: Last year wasn’t so hot.

Barb Lundgren has been planning local weddings for more than 20 years, and says that as the tourism industry has surged in recent years, “we’ve lost a little bit of our small-town charm.”

While her business, Barb Wired, is currently down about a third, she attributes it mostly to the stiff competition in one of the local area’s most competitive industries.

Bri Bélanger-Warner, interim executive director of the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau, says the best indicator of tourism is hotel occupancy, which fell to 80 percent in October.

Restaurateur Will Richey says the last quarter of 2017 was “just terrible” for Downtown Mall restaurants, but he reports a turnaround in March. He says downtown issues such as panhandling, “hyped up parking issues” and the events of August 12 all contributed to a decline in business.

June 13 – 19, 2018 c-ville.com

At the start of last summer, the local visitors bureau ran a TV commercial aimed at driving tourism to the Charlottesville area, but pulled the campaign, which showed a happy, lively and beautifully landscaped town to the tune of a Dave Matthews song, weeks before the Unite the Right rally.

Perhaps the lyrics, “Wasting time / let the hours roll by / doing nothing for the fun / a little taste of the good life / whether right or wrong, makes us want to stay, stay, stay for a while,” clashed with what some anticipated would be the largest gathering of white supremacists in recent history.

Bri Bélanger-Warner, interim executive director of the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau, says after the rally that left three dead and many injured, they gave the town, which National Geographic Travel recently named one of the best small cities in the U.S., some time to catch its breath before slowly reintroducing the commercial to local networks.

“We didn’t feel like coming out strong with a sales-y pitch about the destination was in good taste, so we preferred to just be quiet,” says Bélanger-Warner. Of course, after the tragic events, there was a new campaign.

Most residents will remember Cville Stands for Love—when the Virginia Tourism Corporation planted a giant LOVE statue in the middle of the Downtown Mall in an effort to repair the city’s image. Thenmayor Mike Signer posted to Facebook a photo of himself jumping for joy in front of the statue just five days after the rally.

“After a hard week, Cville is back on our feet, and we’ll be stronger than ever,” Signer’s Facebook post said at the time. “Love conquers hate!”

But some evidence shows that Charlottesville was not, in fact, back on its feet, and a number of local business owners are still trying to regain their footing.

“Our best indicator is our [hotel] occupancy,” says Bélanger-Warner, who pointed out a few figures on a proprietary visitors bureau chart, which showed that occupancy in Charlottesville and Albemarle County was slightly down in August and September, and had decreased as much as 5 percent by October of last year.

“Our occupancy was still 80 percent,” she says from her Downtown Mall office. “In the grand scheme of things it’s not alarming by any means, but it is a bit unusual to see a dip.”

By November, the percentages were back in the positives, and by December, January and February, they were up nearly 9 percent.

But there was another issue at stake.

“Whereas our occupancy was way up, the amount of money that we got per room was way down,” she says.

Aside from November, average daily rates have steadily decreased since last October, and year-to-date they’re down 5 percent. Year-todate lodging revenue is down 1.2 percent.

This could be attributed to the local hotel and inn market preparing for new competition, such as the Draftsman Hotel, which recently opened on West Main Street, and the Country Inn & Suites and the Residence Inn that both opened in 2016, according to Bélanger-Warner. Home2 Suites and the Fairfield Inn are scheduled to open this year.

The lodging industry wasn’t the only one hit. The number of tickets sold at Monticello, one of the biggest tourist attractions in town, was also down.

“Our visitation in the first few months of 2018 was not as strong as 2017, but is similar to what we saw in 2014 and 2015,” says spokesperson Mia Magruder Dammann. For the last 10 years, about 440,000 people have dropped

by Thomas Jefferson’s home annually.

According to Magruder Dammann, several factors contribute to the number of visitors there, especially the weather. This weekend, Monticello will be debuting six new exhibits, and, based on past experience, it can “expect to see a bump in visitation this summer,” she says.

Though tourism can be hard to measure, another indicator is money spent at local restaurants. Last year, meals tax revenue was down nearly 3 percent from 2016, though, as the city’s Director of Economic Development Chris Engel points out, that was a record year for meals tax in Charlottesville.

The meals tax total from 2017—$11,429,199— was a 16 percent increase from 2015.

However, downtown restaurant owner Will Richey, the man behind several eateries including The Whiskey Jar, The Alley Light, The Pie Chest and Revolutionary Soup, says the fourth quarter of 2017 was “just terrible” for Downtown Mall restaurants, “and it was all because of the July and August events distinctly.”

Things didn’t start turning around until March, he says, and March, April and May were much stronger than the fall. The business owner attributes that to the “wonderful” people of Charlottesville and Albemar-

“When the economy’s bad, people want to forget their troubles. Not to say that alcohol’s a recession-proof industry—it’s not—but we really didn’t see a difference [in 2017].” JAMES KING, KING FAMILY VINEYARDS

Wedding photographer Jen Fariello echoes other industry players: Work slowed down last year, but she attributes it to the 2016 election more than anything. She says business is currently up 25 percent from last year.

percent from last year, and she hasn’t even hit fall, her busiest season.

“It’s really a thriving industry here,” she says, and, like Lundgren and DonovanGroves, also attributes any overarching industry-wide decline to new competition and venues, since vendors have seen how well others have done in Charlottesville and Albemarle and set up shop. “There’s just lots more of everything now,” says Fariello.

While the nation watched last August, as brawls between neo-Nazis and their counterparts ensued in our streets, all eyes will be on Charlottesville again this summer. But it could be for good reason, according to Forbes, which, in May, named our Monticello region as the best 2018 summer wine trip.

Monticello, one of the top tourist destinations in the area, saw a decrease in visitors for the first few months of 2018, but its numbers were similar to 2014 and 2015. About 440,000 people visit Thomas Jefferson’s home annually.

June 13 – 19, 2018 c-ville.com

Lundgren says it’s hard to estimate an accurate figure because couples are becoming more last-minute in their wedding planning.

In 2016, Borrowed & Blue co-founder and former CEO Adam Healy calculated that the wedding industry had a $158 million economic impact on Albemarle County. He said then that the local wedding market has been ranked as one of the top five for destination weddings on the East Coast.

(Borrowed & Blue shut down in October 2017, and its online assets were bought earlier this year by weddings e-commerce startup Zola, based in New York City.)

“One of our challenges in the industry is that we don’t have enough hotels,” Lundgren says—a sentiment that Bélanger-Warner at the visitors bureau echoes.

Although some Charlottesville and Albemarle residents are opposed to new hotel development, Lundgren says many couples have to cancel or change their dates because there aren’t enough available rooms to host their guests.

And the hardest part of Bélanger-Warner’s job, she says, is turning down wedding parties, sports teams or potential conference attendees who want to stay in town at a time when she can’t find a big enough block of rooms for them. Including the two hotels that are set to open this year, a little more than 4,000 rooms are available in the city and county in close to 60 lodging establishments including hotels, bed and breakfasts and inns.

“It happens regularly enough that, intuitively, we know that there would still be room for a few more hotels,” says BélangerWarner.

But despite the lack of places to stay, local wedding photographer Jen Fariello says business is booming.

“Last year was a weird year,” says Fariello, “but 2018 and 2019 have made a strong recovery.”

She says 2017 was pretty bad for everyone in the industry, but she doesn’t think it can be attributed to the August incident because, in the wedding world, generally a couple books services such as a photographer and venue for their big day between six months and a year out. “Nobody quite knows why, but that would really have to do with whatever was happening in 2016. I think a lot of people chalk it up to the election.”

Adam Donovan-Groves, another local wedding planner, says he sees that decline every election year, because people are concerned about the economy and their wedding budgets go down. By the second and third year after an election cycle, however, things are usually back to normal, he says.

“We’re right where we’re supposed to be,” says Donovan-Groves, who just booked a wedding for 2020. Fariello is fully booked for the year, and is currently booking for fall 2019. She says business is up by at least 25

any disparity in sales last year, and actually saw a 4 percent overall increase.

James King says, historically speaking, the alcohol industry is one that fares well during economic depressions.

“When the economy’s bad, people want to forget their troubles,” he says. “Not to say that alcohol’s a recession-proof industry— it’s not—but we really didn’t see a difference [in 2017].”

A good indicator of a successful 2018 is that they’ve been busier earlier than usual this year in their tasting room, and every year has been a record year since his family first opened its doors in 2002, he adds.

“We’re on track to sell a bunch of wine and have the best year ever, and I hope that’s the case for everyone else,” says King.

A new radio ad from the visitors bureau encourages the community to stay local and play local this summer.

With an aggressive wedding industry, national accolades racked up by area wineries and breweries, increased hotel occupancy in the city and county, and the city’s sales tax revenue up 5.75 percent from the same months last year—after being down 3.34 percent in 2017, the first dip in four years— Bélanger-Warner says the bottom line is that “tourism is healthy.”

And that’s good, because the local area relies heavily on the industry that employs more than 5,000 people, and where domestic travelers spent more than $600 million in Charlottesville and Albemarle in 2016, according to the Virginia Tourism Corporation.

There would be severe repercussions if local tourism saw a sudden nosedive, says Bélanger-Warner.

“It would have a huge impact because all of those people who come here from out of town stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, shop in our stores, get gas in our gas stations, go to our wineries, go to our orchards and our historical attractions,” says Bélanger-Warner, and if all of those people stop coming, businesses would suffer and there’d be a loss of revenue. Or, put simply, she says, “We are in trouble.”

While filling the role as executive director of the visitors bureau, answering why people would want to come to Charlottesville and Albemarle is a big part of the job.

“Why wouldn’t they?” she says, laughing.

“It’s the best of all worlds.”

It’s a beautiful city with a vibrant downtown, top-notch restaurants and the “fun vibe” of its many festivals, paired with a rural countryside that offers agritourism, historical attractions and, of course, wine, says Bélanger-Warner. And the area isn’t so large that it loses its authenticity.

“It’s not so big that you’re stuck in traffic 24/7, but you have all you need,” she adds.

“In some of the bigger touristy cities or destinations, it’s geared at tourists so much that you get a gift shop every two seconds with the cookie cutter souvenirs and takeaways, where here, I feel people really want to share how they live and who they are in a very authentic kind of way.”

Those hit the hardest last year have high hopes for this summer, too.

Says restaurateur Richey: “I’m looking forward to a good summer—hopefully a regular C’ville summer without any crazy.”

WEDNESDAY 6/13

SWING AND A HIT The psychedelic folk-rock band Liz Cooper and the Stampede formed at the unlikeliest of places—a golf course. Two things in life came easily to Cooper: golf and music. So, when she moved to Nashville, she found work at a country club, and eventually recorded her first EP with some co-workers. From there, she added Ky Baker on drums and Grant Prettyman on bass, forming the three-piece group that now creates the mad mixture of rock, folk and psychedelic sounds that took them from golf clubs to rock clubs. $7-10, 6:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

THURSDAY 6/14

Pittsburgh’s dark-pop quartet Dinosoul takes experimentalindie to the next level, mixing synth, reverb and delay-heavy guitar riffs with emotional vocals and health and wellness.Yes, that’s right. Band founder Donny Donovan is also a health, wellness and fitness coach, and Dinosoul offers a mission statement at its shows that asks “the universe to allow it to connect to the souls who need to be touched.” $5, 8pm. Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, 414 E. Main St., Downtown Mall.

Algiers

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Experimental group Algiers might be this generation’s quintessential protest band. Hailing from Atlanta, the four-man act creates music with lyrics as radical and furious as its sound, with influences ranging from post-punk to Southern gospel. The band’s name refers to a famous anti-colonial battle, and its tracks usually comment on America’s history of slavery and the lasting impacts of racism. And that righteous anger results in dark but beautiful music, guaranteeing a live performance not to be missed. $10-12, 8:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

SUNDAY 6/17

hen it comes to visual art (paintings in particular), you can’t throw a rock without hitting a pastoral fantasy. Which may be why local artists Jeremy and Allyson Taylor’s reverence for nature comes as such a surprise.

“I definitely go to the grotesque,” Allyson says, “because I find it really beautiful and interesting. And sometimes disgusting and funny.”

As an example, she points to a drawing from “Growers,” her latest collaborative exhibition with her husband. “There’s a woman who’s drawn from behind, and she has this really big butt. All of these mushrooms and turkey tail fungus are growing out from her bottom. I think they’re really beautiful, but it’s also an image of stagnation. Like if you were to stand still for too long, you would start to grow things.”

Jeremy, too, draws pieces that highlight how humans and nature interact, using humor and absurdity to treat heavy subjects with relative lightness. “[The exhibition has] three or four pieces of mine where animals have consumed toys, human parts or people,” he says. “I have one drawing where a deer is jumping over a pile of junk: a Jack-o’-lantern, a zombie head, a bomb, a ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ lunch box, a Nike shoe. It’s the idea that we generate all of this stuff and nature will persevere. It’s continually fighting back. In my mind, it’s a peaceful way of fighting back, but nature isn’t always so gentle.”

The Taylors know a thing or two about the ways of nature. Over the years, they’ve grown copious amounts of pigments, fibers and other materials for their art-making. At one point, they managed a 3,000-squarefoot garden right in the middle of Belmont.

“The inks in our drawings are made with walnut ink that we make ourselves. You harvest the walnuts and boil them,” Jeremy says.

“Occasionally we’ll make paper from the flax that we grow. Last year we grew cotton, too.”

“We grow pigments in our garden, indigo and rose madder and safflower, and then we use them to dye fabric,” Allyson says. “It’s so woven into everything. We grow our pigments right next to our food and herbs, and it’s just a part of life. Our daughter definitely identifies more plants than most adults because she’s been in the garden since she was in a little sling on our backs.”

“The other part of the work that’s not dyed is recycled. There’s a quilt in the show that has a chenille blanket we altered to make it look like the ocean. There are a few found objects,” Jeremy says. “Our process is very rigorous and oriented towards doing everything as sustainably as possible.”

But just to be clear, the Taylors aren’t preaching at you.

See “Growers: New Works by Jeremy & Allyson Taylor” now through July 1 at Studio IX.

“There’s genuine love for animals and nature and the experiences we’ve had making our work,” Allyson says. “But we were born in the ’70s. We were born into better living through chemicals. We drive a car. We had a kid and doubled all the weird plastic things that came into our lives. We’re trying to do our best, but we don’t live in a tree in the woods. We’re commenting from within.”

When they met 16 years ago, at a graduate program at UNC Chapel Hill, Jeremy was already making environmental art and exploring sustainable ways to make art materials. His thesis focused on the impact that humans and industrialization have had on animals and the planet. (Even now, his artwork largely features prey animals like birds and rabbits and deer.)

Allyson, whose studio was across the hall from Jeremy’s classroom, made clothing at the time. She became intrigued by Jeremy’s research into making his own ink and paint.

“When I was an undergrad, one of my professors got sick from traditional art-making materials. He literally couldn’t be around certain things, so I learned a lot about

non-toxic materials,” Allyson says. “After meeting Jeremy, I decided that I don’t want to use poisonous pigments or things that I can’t wash down the sink. I don’t want to worry about harming the water, or animals, or in the future harming a kid.”

As artists, the pair’s collaboration began by sharing skills—pattern-making for Jeremy, sewing for Allyson—and they were married within a year of meeting one another. Then they began making a collaborative body of work independent from their personal art portfolios.

The Taylors’ current Gallery IX exhibition includes 101 pieces of art. It’s the first time the couple has shown all of their pictorial quilts in one place.

“When we first put them all up, I felt really emotional about them,” Allyson says. “I saw all of the handwork that we put into them— many, many hours of hand sewing and embroidery—and I saw all of those plants we grew. I saw years of gardens, years of dyeing fabric and making thread, and putting it all to use in these images of people communing with animals or nature. It’s really exciting.”

ands rarely come as well-rounded as Blackberry Smoke. For fans of open-minded Southern rock, the five-piece outfit covers all the bases—pensive highway songs, distorted, arena-ready scorchers and bluesy explorations doused in Dixie grit. The group emerged from Atlanta in the early 2000s, and, as required by independent bands since the turn of the century, hit the road relentlessly. Early favor came from jam band fans attracted to the group’s sonic kinship with the Black Crowes and Gov’t Mule (Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson named the band Blackberry Smoke), but in subsequent years, the versatile act’s stylistic leanings have been harder to pin down.

“We make the music that we make, and wherever it lands for people, that’s cool,” says frontman and lead guitarist Charlie Starr, when asked to describe his band’s sound during a recent phone interview.

“From the inception of the band it’s been questioned. It’s too confusing to try and figure out where we fit; I gave up a long time ago. We used to have a T-shirt that said, ‘Too country for rock ‘n’ roll, and too rock ‘n’ roll for country.’”

Acceptance has gradually expanded as time has gone on. With little radio exposure, the band has now notched two Billboard chart-topping country albums (2015’s Holding All the Roses and 2016’s Like an Arrow), and the group’s latest, Find a Light, should only broaden its appeal. Released in April, the new record covers a wide breadth of influences—from freewheeling ’70s rock to stripped-down, front porch folk.

“It’s way more enjoyable to make a record that’s all over the place,” says Starr. “I think it’s interesting for the listener, as well.

My favorite records growing up were ex-

actly that way—from Exile on Main Street to Physical Graffiti.”

Strains of those masterworks by the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, respectively, can be heard in the dusty jangle of “Run Away From It All” and the bluesy muscle of opener “Flesh and Bone.”

Starr started the album in co-writing sessions with Keith Nelson of Buckcherry, then the band knocked out the recording in two weeks at an Atlanta studio. In the past, the group has worked with notable producers, including Brendan O’Brien, but this time decided to rely on its own instincts. Despite not using a producer, the band was open to collaboration on a few of the new album’s standout tracks. Nashville songstress Amanda Shires delivered sunny backing vocals in the breezy acoustic strummer “Let Me Down Easy,” and pedal steel wiz Robert Randolph worked his fleet-fingered magic on the fiery gospel rocker “I’ll Keep Ramblin’.” Randolph originally wrote the music for the latter as an instrumental, and Starr added lyrics.

“Mother Mountain” features The Wood Brothers harmonizing with Starr through a halcyon folk song that exemplifies Find a Light’s consistent lyrical theme—staying optimistic while being reminded about our country’s pervasive state of political divisiveness. As Starr puts it: “Our culture is saturated with negativity daily, thanks to the media and social media. I guess I was thinking, ‘There’s nowhere to go but up.’”

Blackberry Smoke joins JJ Grey & Mofro for co-headlining dates, including a stop at the Sprint Pavilion on Saturday night, before taking on opening duties on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s farewell tour. Starr says witnessing Skynyrd fans enjoying the band live for possibly the last time has been a poignant experience. “They wrote songs that continue to move people, across generations.

How many bands can say that?”

the minds of the audience that mutates into the story we see on the screen. In Hereditary, there are numerous such examples: Do our parents’ identities, flaws and outright sins transfer to us? Do the fabulist stories we concoct in our youth reflect some truth, and do the inconsistencies we overlook or explain away as adults contain something more sinister? Perhaps the eeriest thing that Aster pinpoints here is the vacant yet joyful expression of those experiencing spiritual elation.

The only thing preventing me from recommending Hereditary to everyone is how truly disturbing it can be, but the film is an instant horror classic of the highest caliber.

It promises to be the most terrifying, unpredictable movie you’ve ever seen—which, let’s be honest, most horror movies do—then exceeds even that lofty promise.

ri Aster’s Hereditary may be the best, scariest, and most effective American horror film in years. Not because it has the loudest scares, not because its ghosts have the creepiest faces, and not because its deaths are the most gruesome (though it does have its share). Writer-director Aster’s feature film debut builds dread at an astounding rate thanks to masterful pacing, establishing the thematic foundation that disturbs viewers before they are able to make literal sense of anything, and by living up to its foreshadowing with sequences and images that are far more frightening than you anticipated. It promises to be the most terrifying, unpredictable movie you’ve ever seen—which, let’s be honest, most horror movies do—then exceeds even that lofty promise.

The word-of-mouth campaign following Hereditary’s debut at Sundance has been the stuff of film festival legend, as critics and audiences struggled to describe it without giving anything away. The truth is that it is very easy to summarize what happens, but

a lesser film would have simply been too much, but Aster understands how to keep us off-kilter while giving us proper time to react before things really spiral toward their conclusion.

Hereditary is a journey best taken alongside its characters, not above them. Some of the things experienced by the Graham family are retribution for their own mistakes, while some are the result of manipulations they cannot perceive, so they don’t know whether to confront or flee. Would either do any good? Do they have any free will at all that might alter the outcome, or are they trapped?

All of these questions have answers, but Hereditary is not a puzzle box. It is a nightmare with its own logic. The film follows the Graham family after the death of secretive grandmother Ellen. Her daughter, Annie (Toni Collette), has worked hard to keep the family together despite numerous tragedies and a history of mental illness on her side. Husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne) is supportive and son Peter (Alex Wolff) is attempting to live a normal teenage life despite all of the strangeness surrounding him.

Their daughter, Charlie (Milly Shapiro), has numerous issues, ranging from allergies to general awareness, almost as though she does not fully belong.

“Oregon wines are some of our most popular,” says Farrell Vangelopoulos at The Ivy Inn. “With our all-American wine list, Oregon is a natural fit. The pinot noirs are so elegant and expressive.”

At Market Street Wine, co-owner Thadd McQuade says, “Oregon has long been a home to idiosyncratic free-thinkers. Wineries like Biggio Hamina and Illahe have irrefutable personality, aromatic complexity and are standard-bearers of the natural, non-interventionist winemaking that we value and support.”

O’Donnell. “Heavier red wines are far less versatile at the table. That is why you find pinot noir—and especially Willamette Valley pinot noir—gaining in popularity in America’s top restaurants.”

Prosser echoes this notion. “Wines of energy lift themselves out of the glass and represent; they offer moments of epiphany,” he says. “Oregon wines have energy and that will bode well for their intersection with food, wherever, however you find it.”

Chris Dunbar of The Alley Light in downtown Charlottesville nods to the Oregon wines on his wine list. Currently, “we serve the Omero Cellars pinot noir by the glass, and have Beaux Frères, Ken Wright and Domaine Serene by the bottle.

n most wine shops and restaurants in Virginia, you’ll find an excellent Oregon wine selection—one that locals may take for granted. But Virginia’s highquality Oregon wine niche is no accident, it’s driven by a core group of passionate people.

Though Oregon’s pre-Prohibition wine history dates back to the 1840s, today’s winemakers put down roots in the 1960s. In 1985, Beth and Rob Crittenden worked a harvest in Oregon and got to know many of the winemakers long before the state’s wine renaissance dazzled the rest of the country—and they loved the Northwest wines their friends grew and produced.

Shortly after the couple moved to Virginia to be closer to family, they founded Roanoke Valley Wine Company in 1994.

“When we first moved here,” says Beth, “there were just a handful of Northwest wines” available in Virginia. The Crittendens aimed to fix that. They introduced Virginia to the Oregon wines of Brick House and Eyrie, and carried the wines of Cameron Winery and Patricia Green from their first vintages.

“We were the first distributor in the United States to offer Oregon wines as a central focus,” says Rob. “Many wines were available in Virginia years and years before they were available in larger markets. For that reason, Virginians have had, and still have, access to the best of Oregon.”

That access was eagerly accepted by the local wine community. “When we first introduced Oregon wines in Virginia, only a few potential customers even knew that Oregon made wine,” says Rob. “Luckily for us, they were open-minded. ...Early adopters included Bill Curtis at Tastings, Robert Harllee at Market Street [Wineshop] and Elaine Futhey at the C&O.”

Because most Oregon wineries are small, typically family operations, “Oregon producers have always embraced direct relationship-based marketing of their wines,” says Brian O’Donnell, winemaker at Belle Pente Vineyard & Winery.

Dry-farm advocate (no use of irrigation) John Paul, owner of Cameron Winery and planter of the inimitable Clos Electrique vineyard, says, “When we have time, we personally go on the road to sell our own products. I have to believe that the authenticity of that approach is not lost on the consumers here or elsewhere.”

The popularity of Oregon wines in Virginia “is because of people like Beth and Rob and their amazing team,” says Rob Stuart of R. Stuart & Co. “They are all about small, family producers living real lives. There is such a disconnect these days with large corporate conglomerate producers and the consumer. RVWC is giving the Virginia market a reconnect to what we all seem to crave, a personal connection between the producers and the consumers.”

There is a growing eagerness to embrace the high quality wines of Oregon that catches its winemakers off guard. “Mainly you will find me on a tractor, so, imagine my surprise, along with my distributor, when a wine director in D.C. ushered us back during dinner service to taste my wines,” says Jim Prosser of J.K. Carriere Wines based in Newberg. “The deer on my hill don’t show a deference, [but I] guess [the reception of Oregon wines is] different on the East Coast.”

Because light red wines go so well with a diversity of foods, pinot noir has become the go-to grape in many dining situations.

“Since Oregon pinot noir is compatible with so many different types of foods, it is a natural choice for this more casual, smallplate-oriented method of dining,” says

PHO REAL

Pho 3 Pho owner John Dinh says the restaurant makes 100 quarts of pho, a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup, a day.

ou’ve gotta give John Dinh, owner of Charlottesville’s newest Vietnamese restaurant, major props for his clever restaurant moniker: Pho 3 Pho. In case you didn’t know, “pho” is pronounced “pha,” as in do-reme-fa-so-la-ti-do. Dinh credits the name, which echoes our local 434 area code, to his brother James.

Pho 3 Pho, which opened June 12 in Rivanna Plaza, the small strip mall abutting the AMF Kegler’s Lanes bowling alley on 29 North, is the realization of a long-held dream by Dinh, whose wife, Julie, owns two nail salons in town. Born in Vietnam but raised in Charlottesville, Dinh, who’s lived in the area for 20 years and attended Albemarle High School before graduating from William Monroe High School in Greene County, has always loved to cook.

“This is my goal, my dream, something I’ve always wanted to do, and nails just happened to come first, somehow—I have no clue how,” he says.

While the venue, formerly a sports bar, has a fully stocked bar and 20 different craft beers, the focus here is on pho, a popular traditional Vietnamese noodle soup made with slow-cooked beef stock that Dinh says is “the backbone of every Vietnamese restaurant. If [the pho’s] not good, then you should walk out.”

Childhood memories inform Dinh’s love of the soup—his family attended church in Richmond, where there is a large Vietnamese community, and ate it each Sunday.

Years of trial and error have gone into Dinh’s broth recipe, leading to the fragrant aromas wafting from the kitchen.

“The beef simmers for eight to 10 hours and is served hot,” he says. “It’s simmering all the time.”

They make 100 quarts of the stuff a day, and there are plenty of pho options here, including sliced Pho 3 Pho beef, meatball, brisket, chicken or a combination. owner John Pho 3 Pho dishes cost between $3.50 for an ap- Dinh tells us petizer and $12.50 for a large combination pho. pho is proBut Dinh is unequivocal about his favorite Pho nounced “pha” 3 Pho dish: spicy beef noodle. “It’s different from (as in fa, la, la) pho,” he says. “It’s rich, a little bit sweet, a little bit not “fu” or sour, a good blend of different tastes.

An American farmhouse in the 1740s was often a one- or two-room log cabin built by family members. Husband-and-wife teams used crosscut saws to clear the forest where they intended to live and grow crops.

In Staunton, the Frontier Culture Museum brings history home

By Erika Howsare living@c-ville.com

J

The Frontier Culture Museum is located in Staunton, just off I-81. Hours through this fall are 9am-5pm daily, and ticket prices are $12 adults, $11 students and $7 kids ages 6-12. (Younger children get in free.)

Walking paths connect all exhibits, and golf carts circulate to offer rides to the weary. See frontiermuseum.org.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

IF YOU GO

Since animals have been a crucial part of the human story too, it’s more than fitting that the FCM keeps many kinds of livestock to round out the picture of each farm it recreates. And, of course, animal encounters are just plain fun. My daughters were delighted once to be approached by two small, very polite goats on the path from West Africa to England. I assume they were actually supposed to be behind a fence somewhere, but their escape was a happy accident for us.

At the three European farms, the level of detail is rich (partly owing to the fact that the buildings really are old, not just built to look that way). The excellent interpreters have much to share about the work they are doing.

We’ve chatted with them about spinning and dyeing yarn, working a forge, cooking on an open hearth and much more. Two interpreters at the Native American village—another newish addition to the museum—once mesmerized me and my kids as they painstakingly scraped a deer hide with stones.

When you arrive, by foot or by golf cart, at the American section of the museum, you’re struck by the evolution of American life over time. The cabin that would have been typical in the 1700s, when the valley was just being settled by Europeans, is unbelievably crude compared with the smart, prosperous farm of the 1850s.

I loved learning that, on the frontier, husband-and-wife teams often used crosscut saws to clear the forest where they intended to live and grow crops. And I loved even more seeing my girls try out that very saw.

Yet, of course, the skills they’ll need in their own era are very different. Just beyond the trees, I-81 thunders past (one interpreter jokingly called it “the great trade route”). It’s a reminder of where all this history has led, and the fact that my daughters will be helping to write a new chapter we can’t yet imagine.

@eatdrinkcville

ust like America, the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton is big, complicated and beautiful.

It’s one of my favorite places to take my two girls—a museum where almost anything can be touched and very little is written down. Creative writing professors often exhort students to “show, don’t tell,” and this museum nails that concept, presenting history as a living, 3-D phenomenon.

If you’ve never been, here’s a summary: The FCM illustrates the lifeways of the many cultures, including European, African and Native American groups, that collectively formed the melting pot of the Shenandoah Valley, plus early American life as it evolved over time. It does all this through recreated farms and villages—dwellings, livestock, gardens, costumed interpreters—many of which were actually moved from their original locations.

It’s really a staggering concept, when you stop to consider it. Of course, kids may not be quite ready to wrap their minds around all the complexities of the last four centuries, but this is a place that they can certainly enjoy—and learn from. I’ve found myself referring back to the FCM in conversation with my daughters, just as we often do with another touchstone, the Little House books.

To my way of thinking, there is too much here to see in one day. Spread over the museum grounds are English, Irish and German farms, a West African farm, a Native American village and three separate American farms of different eras, plus a church and a schoolhouse. Each deserves much more than a glance, so I’ve taken my kids multiple times and tried to concentrate on different sections each time.

One favorite is the 1700s West African farm. This is a new addition since I first came to the FCM in the early 2000s, and it does a lot to deepen the story the museum tells. I always have to pause to appreciate a pair of beautifully carved wooden doors at the compound entrance; they remind me of how much I don’t know about life and culture in historical Africa.

Meanwhile, my kids run ahead to duck inside one of the dwellings, built of earthen walls and thatched roofs. One of the things that becomes a commonality across many parts of the museum is that people have built their houses out of whatever their environment provided—bark, mud, tree limbs or stone.

We all love being able to pick up and touch things: brooms, pots and skins that serve as “mattresses” for sleeping. And I’m glad when my kids get an inkling of how few possessions most people through history have owned, a stark contrast to our own stuff-laden culture.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Congratulations on the work you’ve done to cleanse the psychic toxins from your soul, Cancerian. I love how brave you’ve been as you’ve jettisoned outworn shticks, inadequate theories and irrelevant worries. It makes my heart sing to have seen you summon the self-respect necessary to stick up for your dreams in the face of so many confusing signals. I do feel a tinge of sadness that your heroism hasn’t been better appreciated by those around you. Is there anything you can do to compensate? Like maybe intensify the appreciation you give yourself?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): I hope you’re reaching the final stages of your year-long project to make yourself as solid and steady as possible. I trust you have been building a stable foundation that will serve you well for at least the next five years. I pray you have been creating a rich sense of community and establishing vital new traditions and surrounding yourself with environments that bring out the best in you. If there’s any more work to be done in these sacred tasks, intensify your efforts in the coming weeks. If you’re behind schedule, please make up for lost time.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Necessity is the mother of invention,” says an old proverb. In other words, when your need for some correction or improvement becomes overwhelming, you may be driven to get creative. Engineer Allen Dale put a different spin on the issue.

He said that “if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father.” Sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein agreed, asserting that “progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” I’m not sure if necessity or laziness will be your motivation, Virgo, but I suspect that the coming weeks could be a golden age of invention for you.

What practical innovations might you launch? What useful improvements can you finagle? (P.S. Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead attributed the primary drive for innovative ideas and gizmos to “pleasurable intellectual curiosity.”)

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Would you have turned out wiser and wealthier if you had dropped out of school in third grade? Would it have

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “Whether you love what you love or live in divided ceaseless revolt against it, what you love is your fate.” Gemini poet Frank Bidart wrote that in his poem “Guilty of Dust,” and now I offer it to you. Why? Because it’s an excellent time to be honest with yourself as you identify whom and what you love. It’s also a favorable phase to assess whether you are in any sense at odds with whom and what you love; and if you find you are, to figure out how to be in more harmonic alignment with whom and what you love. Finally, dear Gemini, now is a key moment to vividly register the fact that the story of your life in the coming years will pivot around your relationship with whom and what you love.

been better to apprentice yourself to a family of wolves or coyotes rather than trusting your educational fate to institutions whose job it was to acclimate you to society’s madness? I’m happy to let you know that you’re entering a phase when you’ll find it easier than usual to unlearn any old conditioning that might be suppressing your ability to fulfill your rich potentials. I urge you to seek out opportunities to unleash your skills and enhance your intelligence.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The temptation to overdramatize is strong. Going through with a splashy but messy conclusion may have a perverse appeal. But why not wrap things up with an elegant whisper instead of a garish bang? Rather than impressing everyone with how amazingly complicated your crazy life is, why not quietly lay the foundations for a low-key resolution that will set the stage for a productive sequel? Taking the latter route will be much easier on your karma, and in my opinion will make for just as interesting a story.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Each of us harbors rough, vulnerable, controversial or unhoned facets of our identity. And every one of us periodically reaches turning points when it becomes problematic to keep those qualities buried or immature. We need to make them more visible and develop their potential. I suspect you have arrived at such a turning point. So on behalf of the cosmos, I hereby invite you to enjoy a period of ripening and self-revelation. And I do mean “enjoy.” Find a way to have fun.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the next two-plus weeks, an unusual rule will be in effect: The

more you lose, the more you gain. That means you will have an aptitude for eliminating hassles, banishing stress and shedding defense mechanisms. You’ll be able to purge emotional congestion that has been preventing clarity. You’ll have good intuitions about how to separate yourself from influences that have made you weak or angry. I’m excited for you, Capricorn! A load of old, moldy karma could dissolve and disperse in what seems like a twinkling. If all goes well, you’ll be traveling much lighter by July 1.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suggest you avoid starting a flirtatious correspondence with a convict who’ll be in jail for another 28 years. Okay?

And don’t snack on fugu, the Japanese delicacy that can poison you if the cook isn’t careful about preparing it. Please? And don’t participate in a séance where the medium summons the spirits of psychotic ancestors or diabolical celebrities with whom you imagine it might be interesting to converse.

Got that? I understand you might be in the mood for high adventure and out-of-theordinary escapades. And that will be fine and healthy as long as you also exert a modicum of caution and discernment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): I suggest that you pat yourself on the back with both hands as you sing your own praises and admire your own willful beauty in three mirrors simultaneously. You have won stirring victories over not just your own personal version of the devil, but also over your own inertia and sadness. From what I can determine, you have corralled what remains of the forces of darkness into a comfy holding cell, sealing off those forces from your future. They won’t bother you for a very long time, may-

be never again. Right now you would benefit from a sabbatical—a vacation from all this high-powered character-building. May I suggest you pay a restorative visit to the Land of Sweet Nonsense?

Aries (March 21-April 19): My Aries acquaintance Tatiana decided to eliminate sugar from her diet. She drew up a plan to avoid it completely for 30 days, hoping to permanently break its hold over her. I was surprised to learn that she began the project by making a dessert altar in her bedroom, where she placed a chocolate cake and five kinds of candy. She testified that it compelled her willpower to work even harder and become even stronger than if she had excluded all sweet treats from her sight. Do you think this strenuous trick might work for you as you battle your own personal equivalent of a sugar addiction? If not, devise an equally potent strategy. You’re on the verge of forever escaping a temptation that’s no good for you. Or you’re close to vanquishing an influence that has undermined you. Or both.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have caressed and finessed The Problem. You have tickled and teased and tinkered with it. Now I suggest you let it alone for a while. Give it breathing room. Allow it to evolve under the influence of the tweaks you have instigated. Although you may need to return and do further work in a few weeks, my guess is that The Problem’s knots are now destined to metamorphose into seeds. The awkwardness you massaged with your love and care will eventually yield a useful magic.
