THIS WEEK On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered on the steps of the Albemarle County Office Building to protest, along with thousands of others across the country, the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that separated 2,000 children from their parents and who faced charges of entering the country illegally. Although Trump signed an executive order June 20 ending the separation policy, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can still detain undocumented families for an indefinite period.

The protests occurred in many immigrant-friendly cities, and Charlottesville, declared a “sanctuary city” in January 2017 by then-mayor Mike Signer, is also home to one of the most-recognized naturalization ceremonies in the country.

Every July 4, new citizens pledge their allegiance to America while standing on the steps of Thomas Jefferson’s home.

In this week’s feature (p. 19), we spoke with people who have become U.S. citizens in the last few years. You’ll hear why the time was right for them to become citizens, and how the decision has affected their lives. “In that current media environment [in 2016], immigrants were not presented as a positive. But at the ceremony, I was feeling that we all brought so much to a country that was founded on immigrants,” says Judith Claire Christian, a U.S. citizen since 2016.—Jessica Luck The tragedy that occurred last week at the Annapolis Capital-Gazette newspaper, when Jarrod Ramos walked into the newsroom and killed five people, is disturbingly becoming too common a headline—work places, schools and public gatherings are being targeted by gunmen at an alarming rate. Our hearts are with every journalist, including those in Annapolis, who continue to do such invaluable work, even in the face of catastrophe.

Shopping in stores is so 2015, and several Charlottesville services are making sure you never have to step foot in one again. Starting now, locals can sign up for a membership with Shipt, a virtual marketplace with same-day shipping from Target and Harris Teeter, for $99 a year or $14 a month.

GrubHub, which bought out OrderUp last year, is an existing delivery service for area restaurants and fast food joints, and a newer service, called GoPuff, seems to have its own audience in mind.

Users can order “puff stuff” such as vapes, hookah shisha and rolling papers, while also choosing from a giant selection of (non-alcoholic) “dranks,” “munchies,” “eaaats,” supplies “for the crib” such as Febreeze or something called bedroom dice, “pints on pints” of ice cream or other refreshments that are “frozen af.”

For a flat delivery fee of $1.95, the people of Charlottesville have been ordering from TOP 10 GoPuff, mainly between the hours of 9pm and 1. Nestlé Pure Life water midnight, since March, according to Elizabeth 2. Cheez-Its Romaine, director of communications.

RWSA employee resigns in protest

SKYCLAD AERIAL

emember last fall’s mandatory water restrictions? An employee who recently resigned from the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority says the agency is blaming an alleged drought for the loss of several hundred million gallons of water from the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir, when two leaky gates were the culprit.

“The dry weather did not cause the drop in water level, it merely allowed RWSA’s mismanagement of the reservoir to have a visible and adverse effect,” says Rich Gullick, the authority’s former director of operations, who quit the job he held for more than three years in February in protest of what he calls a “misinformation campaign” that advocates the need for an $82 million pipeline.

He spoke during the public comment session of RWSA’s June 26 board of directors meeting, where he said, “Rivanna has a history of trying to solve problems that aren’t actually problems, while at the same time leaving other problems unidentified or unThe South Fork Rivanna Reservoir lost more than 500 million gallons of water last fall. addressed.”

n a civil suit against an angry activist, Unite the Right rally organizer Jason Kessler has won $5.

The man who planned the August 12 event where neo-Nazis and counterprotesters clashed in the streets, leaving three people dead by the end of the day, said his suit was intended to bring “decorum.”

He sued Donna Gasapo, who called him every name in the book outside of Charlottesville General District Court in March.

In a string of about 30 insults, “murderer,” “racist,” “asshole” and “goddamn crybaby” made the list.

“They are the exact words I said,” Gasapo told the judge last week. The incident was during DeAndre Harris’ assault trial, when community activists rallied outside the courthouse in support of him, and Kessler showed up to report on the trial for vdare.com, which appears to be an alt-right news source.

After missing the trial, Kessler told the judge he began covering the behavior of the activists outside the general district court, by filming them on his phone with personal commentary.

“I was trying to drown his words out so other people wouldn’t hear the terrible things he was saying about them or DeAndre,” Gasapo said.

Her attorney, Pam Starsia, who is also an anti-racist activist, argued that because Kessler is a public figure, Gasapo’s insulting words would have to meet a standard of actual malice. She said the entire community has been on edge since he brought a thousand white supremacists to town.

“Public discourse around those issues is protected by the First Amendment,” Starsia said, though Kessler said calling him a murderer was “reckless disregard for the truth,” and “it hurt [his] character.”

While Judge Bob Downer agreed with Starsia that Kessler’s reputation wasn’t damaged by Gasapo’s comments, he still sided with Kessler and ordered her to fork over $5, though Kessler originally asked for $495 more than that.

Regarding his win, Starsia said she doesn’t think it’ll stop the community of local activists from engaging in such behavior: “I’m very proud and confident that folks who have been having that discourse will continue to have it.”

In other court news, remember Kessler’s August 13 attempted press conference in front of City Hall, where his voice was drowned out by hundreds of shouting protesters until he was eventually chased off, tackled to the ground and escorted out by police?

Phoebe Stevens, a local advocate of peaceful intervention who was found guilty of assault in February, maintains that taking Kessler down wasn’t her intention. She was in Charlottesville Circuit Court June 28 to set a date for her appeal.

As she saw the crowd moving in on him, she said, “We love you, Jason,” and wrapped her arms around him, accidentally knocking him down in the chaos, according to her previous testimony. Her two-day trial is scheduled to start on Valentine’s Day. In Charlottesville General District Court June 28, an assistant prosecutor announced that hearings for Nic McCarthy and Eleanor Ruth Myer Sessoms would be continued until July 19.

Both were arrested early last month during a late night protest on Market Street, where several community activists blocked traffic in protest of the day’s earlier conviction of Corey Long, the man who they say defended Charlottesville on August 12 when he pointed a homemade flamethrower at white supremacists.

little backstory: Charlottesville began as a plantation community with slavery as its foundational industry. Racial violence did not stop after Emancipation, but continued with lynchings and segregation, according to Monticello historian Niya Bates. The University of Virginia, she adds, was a big proponent of scientific racism at the turn of the 20th century. And, until last year, it had buildings named for famed eugenicists Harvey E. Jordan and Ivey Foreman Lewis.

Bates was one of the speakers at a June 22 panel, entitled Backstory Breakdown, which included Mayor Nikuyah Walker, freelance journalist Jordy Yager and student activist Zyahna Bryant. Part of the Virginia Humanities’ #UnmaskingCville series, the panel’s goal was to educate the public on racial issues affecting the Charlottesville area.

The first half of the program focused on Charlottesville’s past, and Yager traced modern wealth inequality to housing policy. He explained how, during the post World War II period, the Federal Housing Administration only offered subsidized loans for homes in neighborhoods that barred sales to black buyers—a policy known as redlining. While white Americans accumulated wealth through homeownership, which they would then pass down to their children, black Americans were effectively locked out of the housing market, which prevented them from integrating into white communities and accumulating wealth of their own.

During the evening’s second half, which focused on the future, moderators addressed the issue of Confederate statues.

Bates dismissed the notion that the statues were a source of pride in one’s heritage, explaining that they were erected in the 1920s to promulgate the Lost Cause narrative and intentionally placed in areas that intimidated black residents.

Bryant, who drafted a petition to remove the statues, expressed frustration that her tax dollars will go toward their maintenance. She said it would be cheaper to just remove them, since demolition would be a one-time expense.

Walker was outspoken on the impact mass incarceration and the war on drugs has had on the black community. “It’s about upholding a system of slavery,” she said, pointing out the racial disparities in drug arrests, despite similar rates of use.

Yager concurred, noting that the language of the 13th Amendment prohibits involuntary confinement except as punishment for a crime.

This discussion continued into a Q&A, including a question about a new law Governor Ralph Northam had signed in Charlottesville the day before that requires the collection of DNA and fingerprints for two additional misdemeanors. Walker replied that Charlottesville is the locality that “fueled the law.” She cited former Charlottesville police chief Tim Longo’s “rounding up” almost 200 black men to request DNA after a victim described a serial rapist as a black male as evidence the policy is racist.

“I think it will continue to perpetuate those practices that lead to mass incarceration,” she said.

New American citizens discuss how moving to the U.S. has impacted their lives

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Each July 4, people of many nationalities gather on the steps of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to pledge their allegiance to the United States. After undergoing a lengthy process to become a U.S. citizen, the ceremony is the last step in each person’s journey. And everyone has his or her own story to tell: whether they chose to come here for religious freedom or the opportunity for better lives for themselves and their families.

In the following pages, you’ll meet three individuals who all call Charlottesville home. And you’ll also learn how their lives have changed since becoming Americans. By Natalie Jacobsen and Whitney Kenerly

After coming to America 27 years ago to work as a camp counselor, Judith Claire Christian, originally from the United Kingdom, became a U.S. citizen two years ago in order to vote in the November 2016 election. She says she hopes the decision encourages her children to vote in future elections.

But at the ceremony, I was feeling that we all brought so much to a country that was founded on immigrants, and that we had all come from different walks and creeds —all of that makes America what it is, and that’s difficult to describe. It’s beautiful.

If you could do it all over again, do you think you would still choose to stay in America and become a citizen?

I would definitely do it all over again in terms of coming and staying initially. For all the trials and tribulations of getting to this point, I have a wonderful life and I wouldn’t do anything different. I’m proud of the life I’ve been able to build here and what America has afforded me to be able to do, especially in terms of giving back through my work at the free clinic.

Voting for the first time is a powerful memory. I hope that it was memorable for my children, too, and that it encourages them to vote. If I felt that it would have made a stronger impact on my children to have voted earlier, I would have become a citizen earlier.

Gabriel Montes de Oca’s family emigrated to the United States in 1993 to seek better opportunities and employment. Montes de Oca’s son, who was born in Charlottesville, just graduated high school and is thinking about going to college.

Until 2016, Judith Claire Christian had never voted. The busy mother of three and nurse practitioner had lived in the United States for more than 20 years, and during that time her status as a resident alien from the United Kingdom had allowed her to finish school and work. But it was the 2016 election that compelled her to take the final step needed to participate in the most important civic right of every American—the right to vote.

Christian grew up on a farm in a small village in the United Kingdom, and initially came to the United States right after high school to work as a camp counselor in Maine through a foreign exchange program.

She expected America to be bigger, louder and brighter than any other place she’d been, and thought that its residents would “all be middle-age men who wore plaid pants and played golf.” Instead, she was taken aback by the scenery in Maine and all its large trees. She met an American at camp, whom she eventually married and divorced.

She stayed in the United States to finish school at UVA. In 2016, Christian married her second husband, an Englishman she met while a student at UVA, and found herself discussing politics more and more with her family at the dinner table. She was aware of the impact of the upcoming election on the community, and on the people she treated at the Orange County Free Clinic, many of whom did not have health insurance. Two years after her husband became a citizen, she was inspired to do the same.

His daughter was barely walking when Gabriel Montes de Oca and his family emigrated to the United States from Mexico. It was 1993, and many Mexican families had made the decision to move north, seeking opportunities and employment.

“We first arrived in Texas, and I found some work, but we moved to Washington, D.C., when I found a better job,” says Montes de Oca. He works in construction, and has moved around the mid-Atlantic region with his company. “It’s a very large company, and is very [reliable] and has given me a very good way of life for my family,” he says.

They wanted to leave Mexico in the early ’90s “because Mexico had no opportunities to grow for us. The political guys, they are all corrupt. There was no way to move up and make a life,” he says. “My daughter was so young. We needed a new place that cared about [our well-being].” They believed they could find the care, resources and a job to make a living in the United States.

While living in Washington, Montes de Oca often saw pictures of and read stories about Charlottesville in the newspaper.

Eventually, he had an opportunity with his

“YES, I AM HAPPY. THIS COUNTRY GAVE ME EVERYTHING.” GABRIEL MONTES DE OCA

If you were trying to leave Mexico today, would you still choose the United States?

I think it’s too late for many people, especially in Mexico, to come to America. Most people now are coming from Central America, because they don’t have anything after storms or government corruption. Few people from Mexico are crossing the borders. There are too many laws and so many changes on coming to America now, I think it is too difficult. I wouldn’t want to try to come here illegally. It is too dangerous.

Would you change anything about the United States?

I cannot think of anything. Every country goes up and down. You give it time, and things will change. Some things get better, sometimes no. But it is okay in time.

Are you proud to be an American?

Yes, I am happy. This country gave me everything. I do the best that I can. I believe my family is happier than many of those who do not have what we have here.

company to move his family here. Now, Montes de Oca has advanced in his career and he makes his own schedule and picks the projects he wants to work on.

Montes de Oca was naturalized on July 4, 2016, at Monticello. In mid-June of this year, his son, who was born in Charlottesville, graduated from Charlottesville High School.

“My son is now starting to think about going to college,” he says. His daughter is working and making her own life in the city, and both children have only known life in the United States.

“I visit Mexico many times, maybe twice a year. Yes, I miss [many aspects] of Mexico, but I live here now,” says Montes de Oca. “My family doesn’t know any other life; they don’t know life in Mexico.”

Laique Khan, originally from Pakistan, took the naturalization oath on July 4, 2017. Khan, from the fourth-largest city in the world, Karachi, says he appreciates how respectful Americans are.

Laique Khan Country of origin: Pakistan Years in the United States: 8 American citizen since: 2017 Laique Khan came to the United States from Pakistan eight years ago to join his family.

Many of his in-laws, brothers and sisters lived in Charlottesville, so he felt he had a good idea of what it would be like to live in America. As a devout Muslim, he was happy to find that he was able to continue practicing his religion while living and working here, despite concerns in his community regarding the political rhetoric around Islam.

Respect and equality are of critical importance to Khan, and one of the reasons he is happy to be an American. He wanted to live

somewhere where he could have a chance to grow in a career, and where his daughter would have the most opportunities.

Khan, who works at GMP Pharmaceuticals, became a United States citizen on July 4, 2017. Joining him in becoming a citizen at that ceremony was his daughter, who recently graduated from UVA with a degree in biology. She is now studying for the MCAT exam, and hopes to go to medical school.

What has it been like to live here in the United States?

Where I’m from, Karachi, which is the fourth-largest city in the world, I hate to see the VIP culture and movement with people there. The rich and armies can go around and do whatever. Here, everybody seems to be respectful. Everybody obeys traffic laws.

For the United States naturalization test, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officer administers an oral test to each applicant. Out of 100 possible history and government questions, the officer will choose 10 to ask each person.

An applicant must answer six of out 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the test.

How would you do on a test about American government? See for yourself with these 10 sample questions.

1. What is the supreme law of the land?

2. What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment?

3. How many amendments does the Constitution have?

4. What are two rights in the Declaration of Independence?

6. If both the president and the vice president can no longer serve, who becomes president?

7. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the federal government. What is one power of the federal government?

8. Under our Constitution, some powers belong to the states. What is one power of the states?

9. Name one U.S. territory.

10. Why does the American flag have 13 stripes?

How are you feeling after the Supreme Court recently upheld President Trump’s executive order commonly referred to as the Muslim ban?

My country is not yet under that category— it’s not one of the countries listed. I always thought that the U.S. was for the freedom of religion, but I’m not concerned about the political scenario. There is not such a big problem here. I’m still doing my prayers and going to my mosque. My CEO allows me to go on my Friday prayer. In three years I’ve never missed my Friday prayer. That’s a really good thing. That’s why I respect the people here.

Do you think it would be more difficult for you to try to become a citizen now?

It’s now a very long process to become a citizen when you’re my nationality. Everything you have to face...we have to face everything. This seems to be quite hard. A lot of the people in the Muslim community are talking about that.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

5. The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

What was the biggest challenge you faced after you moved to the United States?

Initially, we were living with my brother-inlaw’s family. I was trying to find a job, and we lived there for two years. I applied to a lot of places, and I was dejected because I had been a professional for many years in Pakistan. Then my family went through UVA because everybody said it was an equal opportunity employer. I admire UVA people. The hiring person there—they are so, so nice. Anytime I need a job they are so helpful. I respect them a lot.

Listening to the music of Kurt Vile and the Violators is a lot like taking a trip without a clear destination in mind. The hazyvoiced lead singer has been compared to Neil Young, and for good reason—his meandering tracks have similar brands of folk and rock, and the lyrics cover themes of self-discovery and introspection that hearken to Young’s earlier albums.

Incorporating fuzzy, lo-fi guitar alongside the occasional keyboard or synthesizer, Vile both complicates and celebrates the folk standards on which he has built his career. $22-25, 7pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.

Though Jane Austen originally wrote Emma as a novel, the story feels like it was made for the stage. This famously witty comedy of manners focuses on the title character and her frustrating but hilarious attempts to play matchmaker in her friends’ lives, while romance for the hard-to-love Emma herself shows up in unexpected ways. Zoe Speas stars as the overconfident protagonist in this faithful adaptation of one of Austen’s greatest works. $20-57, times vary. American Shakespeare Center, 10 S. Market St., Staunton.

Dowd’s overbearing sister Veta attempts to cure her sibling of his apparent delusions, resulting in a wacky plot that captivates through charm and whimsy. $15-35, times vary. Ruth Caplin Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. 924-3376.

ost of the time, when we talk about characters in books, in movies and plays, we talk about their arc—who the character is when the action begins and when it ends, and the curve followed in between.

But opera singer Trevor Scheunemann knows it’s not always that simple.

It’s especially not that simple for Count Almaviva in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, a role Scheunemann has sung a number of times throughout his career, with the San Francisco Opera, the Washington National Opera and the Opéra National de Bordeaux.

The Marriage of Figaro takes place over the course of a single day in the Count’s villa near Seville. It’s a continuation of the story presented in Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, but in Figaro, the Count has fallen out of love with his wife, Rosina (the Countess Almaviva, whom he pursued so intensely in Barber), and now lusts after Susanna, the maid and the bride-to-be of the servant Figaro.

“The opera’s not named after the Count, but—and maybe I’m biased—he’s one of the more interesting characters, since he goes through so much in the opera,” says Scheunemann. Through tricks and clever maneuvers, Figaro, Susanna and the Countess manage to thwart the Count’s effort at seduction while teaching him a lesson and provoking him to beg for forgiveness.

Count Almaviva has “less of an arc than a roller coaster of arcs, peaks and valleys,” says Scheunemann.

Scheunemann says that often, the Count is portrayed either as “a Don Juan figure, very smooth and seductive,” or an “aggressive, monstrous, demonic figure.” But with guidance from director David Paul, Scheunemann has come to understand a vulnerability that’s rarely lent to the character.

The production is set in mid-20th century America, giving the whole thing a sort of “Mad Men” feel, says Charlottesville Opera Executive Director Kevin O’Halloran, adding that it won’t be the “park and bark” that most people think of when they think of opera. The smaller setting means this opera company can take more risks.

First performed more than 200 years ago, Figaro’s story is timely in light of the #MeToo movement, says Scheunemann. He says that audience members may feel a sense of solidarity with Susanna (portrayed by Karin Mushegain), how she faces “pressures from a male-dominated workplace to acquiesce to certain things she would not be comfortable with otherwise.”

Charlottesville Opera’s second production of the season, Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods opening (July 27) at the Paramount, is perhaps equally timely in America’s social

Trevor Scheunemann, at a recent rehearsal for The Marriage of Figaro, says although he’s performed the role of Count Almaviva several times, it was guidance from director David Paul that helped him understand the vulnerability of the character.

and political climate, says interim Artistic Director Steven Jarvey.

The musical weaves together various Brothers Grimm fairy tales, and is very much about how “we’re all going to see the consequences of the road we walk down,” says Jarvey.

At the heart of the musical is the story of a childless baker and his wife seeking to start a family, their encounters with the witch who cursed them, and their run-ins with other fairy tale characters, like Little Red Riding Hood.

Rena Strober, who plays the Witch, says Into the Woods is largely about seeing the humanity in every person. Strober, who has acted on Broadway and on television (“Veep,” “Shameless” and the Disney Channel’s “Liv and Maddie”), says that before she stepped into the role she “viewed the Witch as the villain of the show. But now that I’m getting behind her, I’m finding her humanity...she is the heroine in my mind, as she wants what’s best for her and the child she raises.”

Deborah Grausman, another Broadway-trained actor with television experience (she voices Smartie the smart phone on “Elmo’s World” and “Sesame Street”), who plays Little Red Riding Hood, is compelled by her character’s straightforwardness. “She pretty much tells it like it is,” says Grausman. “She calls people on things; she’s a truth-teller

[who] doesn’t necessarily change her opinion for whatever company she’s in.”

There are plenty of adult themes in the musical, so a children’s performance is offered, but the original opera is suitable for ages 11 and up. “I think it’s important for families to see this show together in order to have conversations about the more difficult questions Into the Woods brings up,” says Strober.

The Marriage of Figaro July 8-14

Into the Woods July 27-August 5

The Paramount Theater As with The Marriage of Figaro, Charlottesville Opera is taking a few risks with Into the Woods.

Strober won’t spoil the surprise, but she says that director Raymond Zilberberg has found “a very perfect window into how to connect the present.” The cast “ooh-ed and aah-ed” throughout the first read as it saw how the audience members will be forced to use their imaginations in ways they haven’t since they were kids, says Strober. “It’s a new telling of the story with absolute integrity and respect.

People will leave really affected.”

n the second floor of Les Yeux du Monde, artist Russ Warren takes stock of his latest project. It’s a series of bulls drawn using livestock markers—paint sticks used to label cattle and farm animals. Gallery director Lyn Warren points out two piles of discarded chunks of the oil-based markers, fluorescent and accumulating on the floor. Several columns of Roman numerals drawn in permanent marker on a wooden desk count Russ’ progress—an “unsophisticated numbering device” that Russ borrowed from Emily Dickinson’s Collected Poems.

“It’s not organized,” says Russ. “I have no idea of knowing how many I’ve done. I’ll do more. I’ve easily surpassed the 100 mark.”

Painter Gwyn Kohr introduced Russ to livestock markers when she and multimedia artist Kathy Kuhlmann took lessons in his studio several years ago. Kohr lives on a farm with cattle, and when she learned the livestock markers could be used for art purposes, she bought all 16 colors. While there are more than three times that many colors in conventional kits of paint sticks used by artists, Russ and his students felt drawn to the livestock markers. Each marker costs about 75 cents (one-10th the price of the average oil paint stick from brands like Shiva or Winsor & Newton) and takes about two days to dry—allowing Kohr, Kuhlmann and Russ to experiment with the medium.

“The three of us have all utilized [the markers] in a very different way,” says Kohr.

“The fact that they aren’t expensive gave me the creativity to play with them and not feel like I was taking a risk.”

Each artist’s unique exploration of the medium comes to light in “The Livestock Marker Show” at Les Yeux du Monde, on display through July 15. Despite the marker’s heavy quality and garish palette, every piece in the exhibition achieves a dream-like airy lightness and surrealistic, complex expression of color and texture—both paying homage to, and betraying, the humble origins of cattle paint sticks.

Kohr employs it “like a crayon on top” of her paintings, she says. After creating an acrylic underpainting, she builds linear, yet three-dimensional texture using modeling paste, then layers on the livestock marker.

In Kohr’s “Les Fleurs” series, her additive process creates a wash of texture and color reminiscent of a well-loved pair of dark denim jeans. In “Infinite Rhythm,” one can

easily envision this act of adding layer after layer in the painting’s mosaic of lines and circles—some such a vivid white that they appear to be made of mirrored glass at first glance. It’s a five-foot constellation and tapestry of circles and lines that come together to infuse the piece with movement and dimensionality.

Whereas Kohr’s process of using the livestock markers adds layers of paint and clay, Russ and Kuhlmann’s approaches incorporate more reductive processes. While Kuhlmann’s background is in textile clothing design and dyeing, she got excited about the process of photo transfers after taking a workshop that focused on the form.

“Photo transfer can be whatever you want it to be, from a picture that you took and put on a mug, to getting experimental with it,” Kuhlmann says.

With many of Kuhlmann’s photo transfers, she begins by painting an acrylic or watercolor wash on a substrate—anything from an aluminum panel to a clayboard. She then pastes a black-and-white or color pho-

tograph on that surface using a gel-based medium, lets it dry and tears away the remainder of the photograph’s original paper.

On top of that, Kuhlmann gets color from the livestock markers on her fingers and rubs it onto the piece’s surface, then seals the work with layer upon layer of buffed cold wax.

“I enjoy the process and the ‘What happens if?’ quality,” she says. “It’s kind of like cooking. You want to put the love in there.

With the layers and all the time I spend on it, I’m putting that part of me into it.”

Russ also infuses a part of himself into his series of livestock marker bulls. He grew up on a cattle farm outside Houston and raised his youngest daughter in the junior rodeo circuit, and feels like a “surrogate parent to steers.” For his most recent series of bulls, Russ looked to artists like Rufino Tamayo, Jean Dubuffet and Picasso for inspiration.

“I love the way the livestock markers work. It’s a give and take,” he says. “It’s angst and scraping on the surfaces of the paper.

This is the perfect medium to respond to those artists. I chose that path.”

Though Russ says he likes each bull in his 120-plus series for different reasons, he points to “Bull LXVI” and “Bull LXXI” as two of his favorites due to their “childlike” quality.

“Of all the mediums I’ve worked with, the livestock markers are really fun,” Russ says. Kuhlmann, Kohr and Lyn Warren all use the same word to describe the medium—fun.

“I take them seriously but they’re humorous,” says Russ. “They’re not forbidding to the viewer. They’re not that boorish kind of seriousness.”

Violence over virtue Badassery undermines Sicario: Day of the Soldado

By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com

Benicio Del Toro returns in the morally ambivalent sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

killing people on their soil?) blows their cover. Gillick takes responsibility for escorting Isabel Reyes (Isabela Moner), the daughter of a cartel kingpin, to safety while Graver goes home to face the political fallout.

Ambivalence regarding the moral implications of crimes committed by a film’s hero can make for an exciting experience because everything about it becomes a source of tension, including the unpredictability of the outcome and whether success for the main characters is the most desirable resolution. Sicario had the benefit of Emily Blunt’s character—underwritten though impeccably acted—as a

third party witness to the questionable mission. Its sequel is interested in none of these questions, but content to admire the badassery of men who are okay with torture.

Director Stefano Sollima brings none of the visual flair or use of space that Denis Villeneuve and Roger Deakins used to elevate the straightforward story of Sicario into a morality play. Instead, Sollima is content to make Day of the Soldado look and feel like a run-of-the-mill genre flick with no appreciation for the sensitivity of the subject matter or the complexity of the characters.

handled complicated sociopolitical topics before (Wind River) also sacrifices atmosphere for a convoluted plot that takes a lot of time to go nowhere in particular. The performances, as before, are terrific, though both Graver and Gillick seem to be completely different people, raising the question of why a sequel was even necessary if the filmmakers aren’t going to maintain the best part of the first installment.

Messily thrown together with no appreciation for the topics it raises, Sicario: Day of the Soldado is a must-skip.

he U.S. government’s current definition of terrorism, according to Sicario: Day of the Soldado’s Secretary of Defense James Riley (Matthew Modine), is the use of violence to achieve political ends. Riley says this to mercenary Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), who has just come back from Somalia where he killed a man’s brother as an interrogation tactic, and is being hired to start a war between rival drug cartels using whatever means he deems necessary.

An intelligent movie with something to say —like this film’s predecessor, Sicario—may have seized this as an opportunity to explore the state of mind where societies employ the same tactics as those they claim to oppose, or the moral gray area of deciding whether to one-up a so-called terrorist at his own game.

Day of the Soldado essentially throws away all of the strengths of Sicario and ramps up the weaknesses, turning the high-minded tightrope act between getting results at any cost, and fighting evil the right way, into gawking admiration of how badass these possible war criminals are.

The film begins with a pair of suicide bomb attacks, one during a border crossing and the other in a Kansas City supermarket.

This connects back to Mexican drug cartels, which have moved into human trafficking, forming alliances that lead the American government to classify them as terrorists.

They recruit Graver and Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro) to start a war between the cartels, making it look like one kidnapped the daughter of another, but an encounter with Mexican federal police (corrupt, or just not amenable to foreign troops

About a decade ago, Rich Tarbell sold a guitar to pay for his first camera.

Frustrated with his own music, Tarbell decided instead to document local music on film. And while live concert photography is fun, it all starts to look the same after a while, says Tarbell, who likes the behind-the-scenes stuff that most of us don’t get to see.

Last fall, in the middle of a creative slump, Tarbell decided to work on a project that would celebrate the local music scene in a new way. Instead of choosing his own subjects, Tarbell asked the musicians themselves who he should photograph. He started with Terri Allard and Jamie Dyer (the matriarch and patriarch of local music, according to Tarbell) as well as Sally Rose Monnes and Koda Kerl, asking each of them to pick two artists he should shoot next.

He photographed the musicians in their creative spaces—for many, it was a studio, a bedroom or basement practice room. For others, it was the steps outside the old Prism Coffeehouse, a rock near the river, or, in one case, wearing a chicken costume and standing at a desk in the river.

Tarbell soon realized that the photo shoots led to valuable discussions of Charlottesville music past and present, so he started recording the conversations. Together, the photographs of more than 100 local musicians, plus the oral histories, make up re: Charlottesville Music, Tarbell’s printed-and-bound ode to the local music scene, to be released later this year.

Until then, about 20 of the book’s photographs will be on display at Studio IX in July. “It’s worth documenting,” Tarbell says of the stories contained in the book, “to celebrate what we have, and have had, here.”—Erin O’Hare

New meets old At Maru, traditional Korean cuisine and modern riffs both shine

Maru’s take on classic Korean dishes include bulgogi, thinly sliced beef marinated in sweet soy sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings, then grilled; fried squid, a street food staple; and kimchi jeon, a pancake made with kimchi, scallions and flour.

sesame oil and other seasonings, then grilled. Maru’s version was a hit. “Perfectly cooked,” Jen said. “You can taste the smokiness from the flame grill.”

Kelsey’s favorite, meanwhile, was kimchi jeon, a pancake of kimchi, scallions and flour. “I would come back just for this,” she said. “It’s light and crispy on the edges and very well seasoned.” With the pancake, Kay served makgeolli, a cloudy, tangy rice wine typically enjoyed with the dish. New to me, but a spot-on marriage of flavors. “Amazing,” Kelsey said of the pairing.

We finished with bingsu, a delicious dessert of shaved ice, condensed milk and various toppings, which Kelsey said may become destination-worthy. “Light and re-

freshing,” she said. “Everything I would want in a summertime dessert.”

After our meal, I returned to sample some of the less traditional offerings we had skipped. Though I was skeptical, I am glad I did. Italy meets Korea in kimchi arancini— balls of kimchi, fried rice and cheese, breaded and fried. In lesser hands, a cultural hybrid like this could be a trainwreck. But, chef Steven nails it, as he does another mash-up: the Philly-Korean bulgogi beef and cheese.

On a sub roll, bulgogi joins melted cheese, grilled onions, and—what really sets it off— zesty house-pickled vegetables.

Kay says that the Kims’ aim in opening Maru is to share with others the experiences and love of food they grew up with.

And they sure are off to a good start.

making her hyper-sensitive to flawed preparations. Uh-oh, I thought. Even if some dishes fail to meet Jen’s standards, will she like any of it?

Thank you, fried squid. “Excellent,” Jen said, of the Korean street food staple. “It brings back great memories—as good as I remembered it growing up in Korea.” Jen also liked the banchan, traditional small side dishes served before or during a meal. One was kimchi—the signature Korean dish of fermented cabbage or other vegetables. Famous for her own kimchi, Jen’s praise speaks volumes. “It’s made with young Napa cabbage,” says Jen, “which is perfect for this time of the year.”

knew it would be a risky choice: Jen Naylor to help critique a Korean restaurant. The Korean food genius of Sussex Farm has a cult-like following for dishes she sells at area farmers markets. And, as good as she is at making Korean food, she may be even better at tasting it. The Korean native trained her palate on the food of one of the best cooks she has known: her mother.

“Thanks to her,” says Naylor, “I am blessed with taste buds that know when it’s good eats.”

Naylor’s expertise made me wonder how she would rate Maru, the new Korean restaurant on the Downtown Mall where I had enjoyed several meals. Though I have eaten Korean food for decades, I am no expert.

Would Maru meet the high standards of someone like Naylor? To find out, I invited her, along with her daughter, Kelsey, a cook at Ten who is another aficionado, having grown up on Jen’s food.

Maru is the product of Korea natives Steven Kim and his wife, Kay, who moved to Charlottesville from northern Virginia in 2016. The Kims “fell in love with the culture and people of Charlottesville,” says Kay, but found a shortage of great Korean food, and set out to fix it.

Chef Steven brings decades of experience to the kitchen, including a restaurant he ran in Annandale, Virginia’s unofficial capital of Korean food. His focus is twofold: traditional Korean cuisine and more progressive riffs. Melted cheese, for example, has become an unlikely sensation in Korea, and appears often in Maru’s dishes.

Jen prefers traditional cuisine, though, so we steered clear of modern twists. As we sat down and awaited our meal, Jen explained how her mother’s food had “spoiled” her,

“I wanted to do a daytime coffee and bake shop, and I wanted to stay in Belmont.”

TOMAS RAHAL

gave it a bright, cheery interior with applegreen walls featuring prints from former Charlottesville artist Steve Keene, and cherry-red stools that once graced the old Woolworth’s lunch counter downtown.

Rahal says he had been eyeing the Spudnuts site for a decade.

“I wanted to do a daytime coffee and bake shop, and I wanted to stay in Belmont,” he says. “I love the neighborhood, and all of our customers. The Spudnuts building was iconic and I hope Quality Pie becomes iconic as well.”

With his new restaurant, Rahal plans to continue collaborating with schools to promote the farm-to-table approach to eating.

“We’ve got a great garden here and will work with the City Schoolyard Project like we did at Mas, and we’re working with Clark Elementary,” he says. The garden has already yielded beets, chard, carrots, Romaine lettuce and herbs, all of which will be used in the restaurant.

Sweets might rule at both restaurants, but savory will vie for attention as well. Tucked inside Sugar Shack is a separate counter for the restaurant’s sister enterprise, Luther Burger, named after the late R&B singer Luther Vandross’ substitution of a donut for a hamburger bun. Diners will have the option of eating their burger sandwiched between two glazed donut halves, or settling for a mainstream potato—or even a let-

tuce—bun. Besides beef and turkey patties, the restaurant will offer crab and vegan patties, along with vegan cheese and sauces.

And the rotating menu at Quality Pie will include sweet and savory pies (don’t miss the blueberry!), artisanal sourdough bread and biscuits, including “our own version of a signature dish with rye and Iberico ham,” Rahal says.

They’ll also offer a variety of “fun sandwiches, including an octopus bahn mi, in which you will get some of the trademark Spanish flair with a slightly different format,” he says.

In addition, there will be healthy lunches and grain bowls, and, as soon as they get their ABC license, beer, wine and cider “to sit outside on a beautiful day by the garden and relax.”

Both restaurants opened Monday, July 2. Sugar Shack’s hours are 7am-2pm opening week, with hours extended to 6am-6pm daily afterward. Quality Pie is open 7am8pm weekdays and 10am-3pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Quiet closing Zzaam! Fresh Korean Grill on Emmet Street near Barracks Road has shuttered its doors with little fanfare. A notice on the restaurant’s Facebook page announced the closing, effective May 31, to the dismay of hundreds of customers who posted their disappointment on the store’s homepage.

“This is really depressing,” said Jonathan Morataya. “This place got me by some of my toughest economic times while enrolled at UVA, and I was introduced to many Korean-themed dishes. Zzaam Charlottesville, you will be missed.”

he recent summer heat seems to demand curative sweets to help temper the constant weather discomforts. Luckily, sugary treats (and more!) are featured on the menu at two new Charlottesville eateries opening this week.

If you’re like Homer Simpson (and who isn’t?), you probably live for your next delicious donut. Fortunately, Sugar Shack has arrived on West Main Street with everything from maple bacon to Samoas— yes, like the Girl Scout cookie—donuts.

One Sugar Shack location even offers up a fried chicken donut.

“The kitchen has the freedom to make whatever they want,” says manager Virginia Williams, adding that she “whipped up a pink rosé rose glaze” in honor of “The Bachelorette” episode that filmed recently at the chain’s Richmond flagship.

Other innovative flavors include Baby Ruth, Fruit Loops and Party Time (covered in M&Ms, sprinkles and Oreos), plus many vegan options. Everything is made fresh, without preservatives.

The restaurant offers a free donut daily via its Facebook page, provided you’re willing to show up with, say, your latest purchase from Amazon or wearing white sneakers. Fair warning: You could even be asked to sing or dance for that donut.

And fittingly, at the home of the former Spudnuts Donut shop comes another sweet surrender, in the form of Mas Tapas founder Tomas Rahal’s much anticipated Quality Pie. Rahal—with the help of friends in the food community—gutted the building and

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The ghost orchid is a rare white wildflower that disappeared from the British countryside around 1986. The nation’s botanists declared it officially extinct in 2005.

But four years later, a tenacious amateur located a specimen growing in the West Midlands area. The species wasn’t gone forever, after all. I foresee a comparable revival for you in the coming weeks, Leo. An interesting influence or sweet thing that you imagined to be permanently defunct may return to your life. Be alert!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ancient Greek poet Sappho described “a sweet apple turning red high on the tip of the topmost branch.”

The apple pickers left it there, she suggested, but not because they missed seeing it.

It was just too high. “They couldn’t reach it,” wrote Sappho. Let’s use this scenario as a handy metaphor for your current situation, Virgo. I am assigning you the task of doing whatever is necessary to fetch that glorious, seemingly unobtainable sweet apple. It may not be easy. You’ll probably need to summon extra ingenuity to reach it, as well as some as yet unguessed form of help. (The Sappho translation is by Julia Dubnoff.)

Libra

Cancer (June 21-July 22): An open letter to Cancerians from Rob Brezsny’s mother, Felice: I want you to know that I played a big role in helping my Cancerian son become the empathetic, creative, thoughtful, crazy character he is today. I nurtured his idiosyncrasies. I made him feel secure and well-loved. My care freed him to develop his unusual ideas and life. So as you read Rob’s horoscopes, remember that there’s part of me inside him. And that part of me is nurturing you just as I once nurtured him. I and he are giving you love for the quirky, distinctive person you actually are, not some fantasy version of you. I and he are helping you feel more secure and well-appreciated. Now I encourage you to cash in on all that support. As Rob has told me, it’s time for you Cancerians to reach new heights in your drive to express your unique self.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you entertained any high-quality fantasies about faraway treasures lately? Have you delivered inquiring communiqués to any promising beauties who may ultimately offer you treats? Have you made long-distance inquiries about speculative possibilities that could be inclined to travel in your direction from their frontier sanctuaries? Would you consider making some subtle change in yourself so that you’re no longer forcing the call of the wild to wait and wait and wait?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If a down-to-earth spiritual teacher advised you to go on a five-day meditation retreat in a sacred sanctuary, would you instead spend five days carousing with meth addicts in a cheap hotel? If a close friend confessed a secret she had concealed from everyone for years, would you unleash a nervous laugh and change the subject? If you read a horoscope that told you now is a favorable time to cultivate massive amounts of reverence, devotion, respect, gratitude, innocence and awe, would you quickly blank it out of your mind and check your Instagram and Twitter accounts on your phone?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical working couple devotes an average of four minutes per day to focused conversation with each other. And it’s common for a child and parent to engage in meaningful communication for just 20 minutes per week. I bring these sad facts to your attention, Capricorn, because I want to make sure you don’t embody them in the coming weeks. If you hope to attract the best of life’s blessings, you will need to give extra

time and energy to the fine art of communing with those you care about.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Allergies, irritants, stings, hypersensitivities: Sometimes you can make these annoyances work on your behalf. For example, my allergy to freshly cut grass meant that when I was a teenager, I never had to waste my Saturday afternoons mowing the lawn in front of my family’s suburban home.

And the weird itching that plagued me whenever I got into the vicinity of my sister’s fiancé: If I had paid attention to it, I wouldn’t have lent him the $350 that he never repaid. So my advice, my itchy friend, is to be thankful for the twitch and the prickle and the pinch. In the coming days, they may offer you tips and clues that could prove valuable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you somehow growing younger? Your stride seems bouncier and your voice sounds more buoyant. Your thoughts seem fresher and your eyes brighter. I won’t be surprised if you buy yourself new toys or jump in mud puddles. What’s going on? Here’s my guess: You’re no longer willing to sleepwalk your way through the most boring things about being an adult. You may also be ready to wean yourself from certain responsibilities unless you can render them pleasurable at least some of the time. I hope so. It’s time to bring more fun and games into your life.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Twentieth-century French novelist Marcel Proust described 19th-century novelist Gustave Flaubert as a trottoire roulant, or “rolling sidewalk”: plodding, toneless, droning. Meanwhile, critic Roger Shattuck compared Proust’s writing to an “electric generator” from which flows

a “powerful current always ready to shock not only our morality but our very sense of humanity.” In the coming weeks, I encourage you to find a middle ground between Flaubert and Proust. See if you can be moderately exciting, gently provocative and amiably enchanting. My analysis of the cosmic rhythms suggests that such an approach is likely to produce the best long-term results.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You remind me of Jack, the 9-year-old Taurus kid next door, who took up skateboarding on the huge trampoline his two moms put in their backyard.

Like him, you seem eager to travel in two different modes at the same time. (And I’m glad to see you’re being safe; you’re not doing the equivalent of, say, having sex in a car or breakdancing on an escalator.) When Jack first began, he had difficulty in coordinating the bouncing with the rolling. But after a while he got good at it. I expect that you, too, will master your complex task.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): From the day you were born, you have been cultivating a knack for mixing and blending. Along the way, you have accomplished mergers that would have been impossible for a lot of other people. Some of your experiments in amalgamation are legendary.

If my astrological assessments are accurate, the year 2019 will bring forth some of your all-time most marvelous combinations and unifications. I expect you are even now setting the stage for those future fusions; you are building the foundations that will make them natural and inevitable. What can you do in the coming weeks to further that preparation?

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there any prize more precious than knowing your calling? Can any other satisfaction compare with the joy of understanding why you’re here on Earth? In my view, it’s the supreme blessing: to have discovered the tasks that can ceaselessly educate and impassion you; to do the work or play that enables you to offer your best gifts; to be intimately engaged with an activity that consistently asks you to overcome your limitations and grow into a more complete version of yourself.

For some people, their calling is a job: marine biologist, kindergarten teacher, advocate for the homeless. For others, it’s a hobby, like long-distance running, birdwatching or mountain climbing. St. Thérèse of Lisieux said, “My calling is love!” Poet Marina Tsvetaeva said her calling was “To listen to my soul.” Do you know yours, Libra? Now is an excellent time to either discover your calling or home in further on its precise nature.

Q&A What does being an American mean to you?

Not having to learn the metric system!

“We Americans are as diverse as the land upon which we live. We can trace our heritage to every part of the globe, a rich and varied resource that has enabled us to create a society capable of tremendous achievement.

When we work together, we possess the energy, optimism and ability to accomplish almost anything we set out to do.” From the Boy Scout handbook, which has helped guide my life for nearly two decades.

PAT FITZGERALD/FACEBOOK

BRADFORD KARL SLOCUM/FACEBOOK

Freedom and equality for all human beings.

That’s the ideal, at least.

Having the “right” to live on land designated as the U.S. of America with imaginary lines (borders) around it to keep other inhabitants of this spinning rock in the cosmos from getting in.

MICHAEL FITTS/FACEBOOK

BRENDA BROWNING/FACEBOOK

Not what it once did.

We used to respect the flag and the national anthem—no longer.

It’s about being able to be different from the majority but also being able to be comfortable in my own skin.

TED ANDREWS/FACEBOOK

Recently it’s meant having people argue with you about something in your field that they just learned about three hours before. #notbitter @THE_WEINERMAN/TWITTER

I feel like I don’t identify with being an American as being a big part of my identity. I think we’re all a part of humanity. But I think participating in whatever society you’re a part of is important and allowing your actions to be a part of that.

Voting is a big part of that.
