Light Therapy Center – Easy Weight Loss using UltraSlim Red Light Therapy

3

Our UltraSlim’s red LED lights get the fat cell to open a temporary pore in its cell membrane. Fat is released, processed by the liver, excreted, and gone forever. Clients generally keep 90% of their weight loss off 1 year later. The 32 minute weekly treatments quickly reduce the waist and hip measurements.

Having a 6 treatment series produces a clinically significant fat loss. 1 pound of fat has 1 mile of blood vessels. Losing fat reduces the amount of blood and blood vessels and thus heart health is improved. Foot circulation usually increases. With less fat and weight, back pain and medication usage is often much less.

Our 40 minute facials help create collagen and elastin to tighten skin and smooth out wrinkles. Facials reduce double chins and neck fat. Red light treats superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions so the skin has a more even tone. Clients say they look 5-10 years younger. Treatments are very relaxing.

There’s no diet, exercise, drugs, downtime, pain, side effects, or long-term contract. We offer treatments in our office, your home, or other location. This safe and effective fat loss treatment delivers results. 300 UltraSlim units are in use. We give a money back guarantee. Come by and see us to start a healthier life.

True blue Four-year-old Lamond Pryor-Williams proudly displays the peanuts that earned Barrett Early Learning Center one of nine ribbons (including Grand Champion!) last weekend at the 36th Albemarle County Fair, held at James Monroe’s Highland. An annual celebration of the history of the area’s agriculture, the three-day event aims to teach children where their food comes from. Fairgoers also had an opportunity to take in a variety of historic demonstrations, and enjoy live music, food, craft exhibits, train rides, a farmyard and corn maze.

—Mayor Nikuyah Walker on Facebook after fellow councilors ask if she should recuse herself from the selection of a new city manager because she’s a temporary parks & rec employee

Taking a fence PAGE 13

It’s an alt-right infight

IN BRIEF

Zemp’s response Sidney Zemp, the man who was offered the interim city manager position, which sparked a major outcry from Mayor Nikuyah Walker, who denounced him and read his resumé aloud on Facebook Live, cited “the controversy contrived by the mayor and her questionable motivations” as a reason for turning down the offer. A new interim city manager had not been announced at press time.

Two UVA history professors—William Hitchcock and Melvyn Leffler—resigned from the Miller Center in protest of its offering a senior fellowship to former Trump legislative affairs director Marc Short. Both Hitchcock and Leffler are tenured and retain positions in the history department.

Doggy duty There’s a new employee at the Draftsman Hotel and this one has fur.

Meet Bulleit Rye Whiskey, the resident Wheaton terrier who was born 21 miles from the hotel at Shady Lane Family Farm in Free Union, and who clocks his hours by greeting guests and their pets.

The Draftsman, the 11-story, 150-room upscale boutique hotel that opened on West Main Street in May, will celebrate its official grand opening this summer—and Bulleit will be there making sure everything goes according to plan.

Profs resign

While it’s become clear over the past year that Jason Kessler isn’t the most popular guy in town, he’s also not the most popular among white nationalist internet trolls. And his decision to allow people of color to volunteer at the Unite the Right reunion planned for D.C. and his apparent ban on neo-Nazis at the event aren’t helping. A quick perusal of snippets from social media site Gab—where many white supremacists flee when Twitter gives them the boot—gives insight into what they’re arguing about these days.

“Bulleit absolutely loves being around people,” says Draftsman manager and doggy daddy JP Roberts.

“He’s thrilled to greet new guests and wander around the library and lobby, but we are most excited about having him interact with the incredibly tough kids next door at UVA Children’s Hospital once he completes his therapy dog certification.”

Bulleit, who bribed us by mailing us a couple beef bourguignon dog treats, has his own message: “I don’t want to brag, but most people say I am a very good boy,” the pooch said in a press release. And his shameless plug? “I wanted to let everyone know that the Draftsman is open for business and we are having our grand opening on September 20.”

When former Charlottesville High School science teacher Richard Wellbeloved-Stone was sentenced in federal court July 30 to 23 years in prison for one count of production of child pornography, it was revealed that he had also taken more than 100 photos up students’ skirts and down students’ shirts from 2012 to 2014, which could warrant more charges.

Fifth District Democratic candidate Leslie Cockburn called opponent Denver Riggleman a devotee of “Bigfoot erotica” because of images of Bigfoot with a black bar over its genitals on Riggleman’s Instagram account. Riggleman, who co-authored a book on the legendary ape-like creature, said the images are a joke from his friends, and returned fire at Cockburn’s 1991 book on U.S. relations with Israel, which Republicans have called “anti-Semitic.”

Looking for a Home Equity Line of Credit? Let us take care of the closing costs.**

After the first twelve months, your standard APR could range from Prime (currently 5.00%) to Prime + 2.50% (currently 7.50%) based on your line amount, combined loan-to-value (CLTV) and other factors. Prime rate as of 6/14/18 was 5.00% as indexed in the Wall Street Journal. ** C&F Bank will pay the following closing costs: Tax Tracking fee, Credit Report cost, Appraisal fee, Lender’s Title Insurance Policy, Deed of Trust recording cost, Settlement fee, and Flood Determination fee. APR is based on the assumption that the finance charge may include these closing costs.

Closing cost reimbursement is required if line is closed within the first three years. This promotion does not apply to home equity lines of credit used to purchase a dwelling or when a change of ownership is made at loan closing. Interest on your home equity line of credit may be tax deductible, consult a tax advisor regarding deductibility of interest. An increased line amount of $25,000.00 is required for refinancing an existing C&F Bank debt.

Maximum loan amount of $200,000. This loan offer is subject to change without notice and is subject to credit approval. Homeowners insurance is required. Other terms and rates are available.

The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority declared a drought and imposed mandatory water restrictions when the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir, pictured full here, lost millions of gallons of water last fall. Most of that water loss could have been prevented.

Leaky-gate, part 2 RWSA responds to cover-up accusations

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

I

t was late June when a whistleblower, who recently resigned from the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority to protest an $80-million water pipeline it wants to build between two reservoirs, went before its board of directors to denounce it.

Rich Gullick, the authority’s former director of operations, handed over several pages of in-depth analysis on why he believes the pipeline isn’t needed, and criticized the authority for attributing millions of gallons of water loss and mandatory water restrictions to a drought last fall, when two leaky gates were the culprit.

A month later, at the board’s July 24 meeting, RWSA Executive Director Bill Mawyer took the chance to respond to Gullick’s comments—in the form of a fivepage public letter.

“We’ve always been upfront with that data to anyone and everyone who asked,” Mawyer told the board, adding that Gullick’s use of the words “misinformation, cover-up and conspiracy” were concerning.

Mawyer said the purpose of the pipeline project from the South Fork Rivanna to the Ragged Mountain reservoirs, which was included in a community water supply plan created between 2002 and 2012, is to ensure that the local urban area has an adequate supply of water for the next 50 years, including “during extreme drought conditions” like those in 2002, the worst drought on record, when mandatory water restrictions then included no outside irrigation, closed car washes and restaurants serving food on paper plates.

As for the water supply plan, “This was a well-vetted plan for 10 years,” Mawyer told the board. “This was not a 30-minute discussion someone had at a social event.”

He did not mention that the plan was

Permit-less Kessler withdraws motion for August 11-12 rallies

By Lisa Provence

“If 24 people show up, he doesn’t need a permit,” said Woodard. “If it’s 51, he does.”

The city’s D.C.-based attorney, John Longstreth, said Kessler’s plans were “a moving target” and that apparently Kessler believed his initial application for a two-day permit was “an opening offer to negotiate and then he goes to federal court to get a judge’s order.”

Longstreth maintained that Kessler wanted a redo of last year’s event that “led to riot and disorder,” of which Kessler made fun.

“Last year was an unimaginable disaster for Charlottesville,” he said.

Kessler was going on the darkest regions of the internet and “trolling” people who are violent and extreme, said Longstreth. “He has no idea who he’s stirring up.”

It was during the city’s opening statement that Kolenich appeared, and his response to a question about documents he had not filed caused Moon to ask Kolenich if he was contemptuous of the hearing.

“I would like to know why we’re here today,” said the exasperated judge. “It’s just not proper to ask for a permit for two days in the park and then say two hours is enough.”

ATTORNEY JAMES KOLENICH ABOUT HIS CLIENT, JASON KESSLER

Jason Kessler was late for an important date in court July 24—and then he withdrew his motion to have a judge order a Unite the Right2 permit.

fter plaintiff Jason Kessler showed up 45 minutes late to federal court for his own motion to order Charlottesville to grant him a permit to hold an event the weekend of August 12, it took the judge about two seconds to grant Kessler’s attorney’s request to withdraw the motion.

“He’s not going to hold a rally here August 12,” said Kessler’s Cincinnati, Ohio, attorney James Kolenich, who was himself late to court and earned a reprimand from Judge Norman Moon.

Kolenich said he could not promise that his client, the organizer of last summer’s deadly Unite the Right rally, wouldn’t walk around town with a small group of people, which does not require a permit.

City Councilor Wes Bellamy said he was relieved the motion was withdrawn. “I couldn’t be more pleased,” he said.

“We’re going to be prepared,” said Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney, who still expects a large number of people here that weekend.

On December 11, then-city manager Maurice Jones denied a permit application from Kessler for August 11 and 12 events running from 6am to 11pm in the former Lee/Emancipation park, now known as Market Street Park, citing public safety concerns. He also denied several other applications for events that weekend.

Kessler filed a suit against the city, and the July 24 hearing was to get a judge to issue a temporary injunction ordering the city to give him a permit.

Around half a dozen attorneys were gathered on the city’s side of the courtroom, but on Kessler’s side, attorney Elmer Woodard was alone, with both his client and co-counsel MIA. Woodard proceeded, and argued that the city’s denial of Kessler’s application for a permit at “Lee Park” was content based and unconstitutional.

Judge Moon had questions about the length of the rally, the number of people Kessler expected and exactly what Kessler wanted the court to order.

Woodard said Kessler wanted a twohour protest at 2pm August 11 at “Lee Park,” which he insisted was “not a burden on the city.” The attorney pooh-poohed the city’s public safety concerns, and took issue with its “stony refusal to grant” Kessler a permit.

Moon asked if Kessler had an organization. Kessler founded Unity and Security for America, and Woodard said Kessler was its only member. The attorney estimated between 200 and 300 people would show up.

“His deposition said 24 people,” the judge pointed out.

Moon continued to scold the tardy attorney and said he didn’t want recriminations and name calling. “Your client isn’t here and you weren’t here.” He called a 10-minute recess.

During the break, Kessler showed up, and once court was in session, Kolenich said he was withdrawing the motion.

Afterward, in response to a reporter’s question about Kessler, Kolenich said, “I don’t know if he has mental health issues.”

And when asked why Kessler was late, the attorney responded, “No comment.”

Kolenich said he advised Kessler to withdraw the motion because there were issues with discovery.

He also said he knows Kessler “is hated in this community,” and that Kessler regretted inviting Nazis to last year’s event, but is unable to apologize.

On July 25, Woodard filed a motion to withdraw from representing Kessler on the grounds that he “has not met his financial responsibilities and that the representation has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client.” According to the motion, Kessler indicated he would substitute local counsel for his lawsuit against the city for denying his permit, which is still on the books.

On Twitter, Kessler said he intends to focus exclusively on an August 12 rally in Washington, D.C.

highly controversial then, and even today, many question the need for the pipeline.

Gullick, who has created the website cvillesensiblewaterplan.org for his extensive data on the pipeline, says Mawyer’s five-page response made him queasy.

“It actually churns my stomach to read this many misleading and false statements,” he says. “It sounds good on the surface, I’m sure, to a lot of people, but boy is it not.”

Perhaps his most compelling evidence against the pipeline is that projected demand for water has significantly decreased since the community water supply plan was created.

Local conservation efforts and plumbing improvements have caused a decrease in water demand since 2000, and the demand is now the same as it was in 1985, says Gullick.

The RWSA, however, has recognized this and is currently spearheading a new study to determine water demand, which will be completed in 2020. With current projections, Gullick says the pipeline won’t be needed until at least 2062. Even using the same rate predicted in 2004, the former employee says it will be 2048 before water demand meets the estimated safe yield, which is the maximum withdrawal rate available from the water supply to withstand the worst drought on record.

In Gullick’s original comments to the board, he said this could be met by filling the Ragged Mountain Reservoir its final 12 feet, and building the pipeline later when demand actually increases, but as Mawyer said in his response, “contractually, we cannot do that.”

The RWSA has an agreement with the city and the Albemarle County Service Authority to raise the Ragged Mountain Reservoir its final 12 feet only when demand reaches 85 percent of the water supply, which hasn’t happened, says Mawyer.

However, Gullick points out that at the April 4 board meeting, when Mawyer also said this, board member Liz Palmer corrected him. “If the city and county would like to fill the entire Ragged Mountain Reservoir, we agree, it could start tomorrow,” she said. Responded Mawyer, “True.”

The executive director also said in his response that last fall’s water restrictions were mandated in October “as the result of rapid decline in the [South Fork Rivanna Reservoir] water level from September 17-October 3.”

Gullick says Mawyer “cherry picked” that data.

From September 17 to October 3, the stored volume in the reservoir dropped 260 million gallons, but according to Gullick, nearly 230 million gallons were lost from August 3 to September 17, which was 46 percent of the total 490 million gallon decrease from August 3 to October 3 that the report didn’t mention.

“There was a slightly sharper drop in reservoir level in late September and early October because there was no rain then to help compensate for the leaking gates,” Gullick says. He notes similar periods of no rain from 2014 to 2016, which caused no problem with the reservoir level.

If there’s still any question, Mawyer said those “drought watch conditions” last fall were imposed for something that was “technically not a drought.”

Fenced out Neighbors complain about closed shortcut

I

After the city unsuccessfully sued Presley in 2004, she countersued the city and the Rivanna Trails Foundation in a $1.5 million suit that she eventually settled for an undisclosed amount.

Adds Sudhir about the current case in her neighborhood, “Whether or not it’s legal for [Angelhart] to do that, it’s really kind of mean.”

Builder fined in elevator shaft fatality Early July 25, Albemarle police responded to an industrial accident at Yancey Lumber in Crozet, where employee Floriberta Macedo-Diaz, 46, of Waynesboro, died of her injuries.

Macedo-Diaz isn’t the only workplace fatality in the region. In June, the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry finished its investigation into a job-related death last fall, and fined two companies more than $18,000 for safety violations.

Carlos Alfaro was looking at the ceiling on the top floor of a C&O Row house and following the sprinkler lines to attach sprinkler heads when he opened the door to what appeared to be a closet and fell five floors down an elevator shaft to his death last October 17, according to a labor department report.

Alfaro, 31, was a North Chesterfield resident employed by Liberty Fire Solutions, which was installing sprinklers at the $1 million home at 1073 E. Water St. The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry initially cited Salem-based Liberty Fire Solutions $4,560 for not having someone trained in first aid at the site and $12,471 for failure to provide adequate fall protection. Those penalties were reduced and Liberty paid $9,500. Its CEO, Randy Young, did not return a call from C-VILLE Weekly.

A man died during the construction of a C&O Row house, falling down an unsecured elevator shaft.

Also fined was builder Evergreen LLC for not having fall protection systems in place. The labor department originally issued a citation for $12,471. Evergreen— through Eggc LLC—paid a $8,730 penalty, according to Department of Labor and Industry documents. Evergreen president and owner Whit Graves did not return calls from C-VILLE. However, in a labor department narrative of events, Graves told investigators that the sprinkler work was scheduled for October 23 and the Liberty Fire Solutions employees arrived almost a week early.

During an inspection of the site after the fatal 45-foot fall, investigators saw doors that had been installed on the elevator shaft with no hardware and could be opened by wind traveling up the shaft, according to the report.

The normal procedure was to nail boards across the opening of the shaft, but after Alfaro’s fall, the boards were not there and Graves told inspectors he didn’t know when they were removed, according to the state report.

The Department of Labor and Industry recommended a “serious fatality-related citation” for both companies.—Lisa Provence

But Angelhart has the support of at least one neighbor, Sandy Werner, who wrote on the website, “I trust her and know that she made this decision carefully after seeking counsel. As for the impact of the fence to me as a resident, I have accessed the church grounds this way myself for 20 years, but now I simply walk a few extra blocks to access via Park Street.”

According to Angelhart, it’s about a sevenminute walk for those who’d like to circum-

More than a decade ago, Wyatt represented “Razor wire widow” Shirley Presley, whose Bland Circle home abutted a section of a 20-mile trail network built by the Rivanna Trails Foundation without her permission. Presley began piling brush on the trail in 2002, and a year later, she sanctioned it off with razor wire.

“It’s like living beside a park, and Jane’s response is to just walk around because it’s only seven blocks. Well that’s the difference between living beside a park and seven blocks away from a park.” DIANA FILIPI

When one North Downtown resident wanted neighbors to stop crossing her property to access that of the Park Street First Baptist Church, she built a fence—about a foot in front of the church’s fence and access gate.

August 1 – 7, 2018 c-ville.com

n the North Downtown neighborhood, a new fence is causing a fuss.

Where some Second Street NE residents have long walked down their dead-end lane to an unlocked gate that led to the backyard of the Park Street First Baptist Church, they’ve recently been faced with an obstruction to the beaten path.

It’s a fence—a second fence—built about one foot in front of the church’s.

Residents who have used the path and the church’s property as a place to walk their pooches, ride bicycles, sled in the winter and watch summer fireworks say the neighbor who lives nearest the fence has cut them off.

“Everybody is actually very irate over it,” says Amita Sudhir, who has lived on the street since 2011. “She’s effectively cut off our access to one of the best sources of recreation in the neighborhood. I can’t think of a single valid reason for her to do that.”

But Jane Angelhart says she owns the property and consulted a legal adviser before building the wooden wall.

“I have my reasons to put up a fence and I feel justified,” she says, not sharing many details, but contending that it wasn’t a decision she took lightly.

Others who live on Angelhart’s street have taken to neighborhood website Nextdoor— where friendly conversations oft turn ugly, and in this case, have—to call for removal of the pedestrian-blocking barricade on private property.

“If neighbors want to challenge it, then they need to do it in a proper way, not through bullying me online or in the newspaper,” says Angelhart.

vent the church and enter through the front instead of the back. But that seven minutes makes all the difference for some folks.

“It’s like living beside a park, and Jane’s response is to just walk around because it’s only seven blocks,” says resident Diana Filipi. “Well that’s the difference between living beside a park and seven blocks away from a park.”

Filipi says neighbors have reached out to Vice-Mayor Heather Hill, another North Downtown resident, for guidance. City spokesperson Brian Wheeler says the fence is under review by the city’s Neighborhood Development Services staff.

Says Filipi, “That has been an open pedestrian access way for over 30 years and we believe that she is not allowed to just take that away.”

Former attorney Debbie Wyatt says she can understand why someone wouldn’t want a large volume of people consistently crossing her property.

She doesn’t mince words: “If it’s her property and the fence is legal, then she can put it up.”

However, if neighbors have been crossing her property for ages, they could make an argument that it’s a prescriptive easement, which can happen when people use a property openly for 20 years.

Philanthropic windfall

By Jonathan Haynes reporter@c-ville.com

T

he Jefferson-Madison Regional Library was the unexpected beneficiary of a nearly $1 million bequest from one of its Friends of the Library Endowment Fund patrons earlier this year. The donation came from the estate of Nancy Swygert.

Despite the large sum, Swygert and her husband lived a frugal life, never having children or even owning a personal computer. Naturally, she frequented the library.

She became a fixture in the Gordon Avenue branch over the years, requesting books every week and taking advantage of the free internet access.

“Nancy was one of my favorite patrons of the Gordon Avenue Library,” says David Plunkett, JMRL’s director, who started at that branch. “She treated library staff exceptionally well.”

Swygert passed away December 28, 2016, shortly after her 79th birthday.

Although everyone knew Swygert viewed the library as a treasured institution, nobody

foresaw her making a donation on this scale, says Plunkett.

The $984,098 bequest will bring the endowment fund’s total to almost $2.5 million.

The library plans to allocate the money to improvements in infrastructure and expansions of library materials, although it will first have to amend its bylaws, which currently prohibit the use of endowment funds for capital projects.

In the past, money from the Friends of the Library Endowment Fund has gone toward scholarship programs for the NAACP and library staff pursuing a master’s degree in library science.

The endowment fund dates back to 1992, when a group of donors, or “friends,” invested $20,000 in seed money for a separate library fund. While it does not compensate for gaps in government funding, the endowment does furnish library projects with additional funds and serves as a streamlined receptacle for donations.

The endowment’s advisory committee intends to memorialize Swygert at the Gordon Avenue location with a collection and landscaping project in her name.

Library gets $1 million bequest

A nearly $1 million bequest to the JMRL will go toward long-term projects for the library, such as improvements in infrastructure and more materials.

According to Mary Susan Payne, her attorney, Swygert loved Charlottesville, where she met her husband and worked as a lab technologist at the UVA Medical Center. She moved to the city some 50 years ago, after earning her master’s degree in biology.

A staunch environmentalist and lover of the outdoors, Swygert took full advantage of Charlottesville’s walkable urban design,

walking to work and making a daily trek up O-Hill. In her will, she bequeathed another nearly $1 million each to the Wildlife Center of Virginia and the Nature Conservancy.

Swygert was particularly fond of books about nature. “She was such a remarkable fountain of knowledge about the natural world,” says Payne. “She could name every plant you could put in front of her.”

When David Deaton (left) was looking for somebody to sponsor his soccer team, his first call was to Hassan Kaisoum (right), owner of Aroma’s Café, and a former professional player from Morocco.

named the Charlottesville Alliance after its goal of helping to create a unified community—joined the National Premier Soccer League in 2018.

Kaisoum recalls an Aroma’s customer asking how the club was faring after the Open Cup. “Wonderful,” Kaisoum told him. “Now we’ve become C’ville Alliance, we’re now semi-professional.” Two days later, Kaisoum received a $1,000 check from the customer for the team.

John Atkinson of Longwood University is one of the few Division I coaches who spends his summer leading a National Premier Soccer League team.

well as international ones (Joe Bell, a rising Virginia soccer star is from New Zealand).

The 2018 lineup consisted of three UVA, four James Madison University, two Virginia Commonwealth University and two Virginia Tech players, as well as others from a range of schools. Their names are the kind that kids in the crowd want autographed on jerseys they hold out to the players after games.

“Joe Bell starts for UVA,” says Thomas.

“I’m sure some of these kids have his poster on their wall.”

Price Thomas, a “senior” Alliance player who graduated from Albemarle High School and the College of William & Mary, says his hope for the team is that it is still “around when my kids are playing.”

“This community supports you if you support them,” says Kaisoum. “I was stunned by the support of Charlottesville, for my business first, and also for the soccer.”

And that community support is apparent on nights like a Monday in early July. Even though an oppressive heat has baked the turf dry at Albemarle High School’s stadium, the seating area is filled with more than 100 people. They’re carrying flags and holding signs. Some of them are wearing Alliance red.

Like the Charlottesville Tom Sox, the Alliance has become part of a growing local sports market in its first year in the NPSL. For many of the original players from the pickup team, having that crowd cheer them on is something they haven’t experienced in years.

“My last soccer game in front of people was in a different country,” says Price Thomas, a longtime member of the group and a William & Mary alum whose professional playing career spanned from Turkey to Germany to Richmond, Virginia. “I haven’t felt that in a long time. Personally, it was very nostalgic to be up there.”

The NPSL is geared toward current college players, but the Alliance roster has its own unique makeup: It’s split into two halves, with “senior” players comprising one part and college students making up the other. That allows the team to accommodate summer schedules, with senior players like Thomas filling in roster spots when jobs or vacations get in the way for their younger teammates.

Those college athletes often serve as the real draw for fans. The team pulls from a wide range of Virginia schools, and attracts both hometown players (Jake Gelnovatch, a Louisville player and son of longtime UVA men’s soccer coach George Gelnovatch) as

August 1 – 7, 2018 c-ville.com

Hassan Kaisoum, owner of Aroma’s, is wellknown not just in Charlottesville but in international soccer circles. A former professional player from Morocco, Kaisoum credits the sport for saving his life when he was orphaned at 11 years old, by providing him with an outlet and a support network of his teammates’ families.

“When I lost my mom and dad and the support of my parents, I had the support from others,” says Kaisoum. “Fathers and mothers of my friends making sure I wasn’t missing anything food-wise, and everything I needed—repairing my bike, helping me to continue and finish school.”

Kaisoum has spent his life paying that goodwill forward, from charity drives at Aroma’s to coaching soccer at Charlottesville High School. When Deaton approached him with the opportunity to fund the team, Kaisoum was thrilled.

“I never paid any coaches when I was in Morocco,” said Kaisoum. “They gave it to me for free, for love. When David approached me to build Aroma’s Café Club first, without hesitation I said, ‘Okay, what do you need?’”

So Aroma’s Café FC was born. Not only did it beat two different teams to make it past the amateur round of the U.S. Open Cup, but it also claimed a 2-1 victory over the Richmond Strikers, a semi-professional team in the National Premier Soccer League, before ultimately falling to a Division II team.

“I think that coming off of Neptune’s in the summer and Open Cup from the fall and spring, people realized that there was something big happening,” Deaton says.

And if the club could beat a semi-professional team, why couldn’t it be one itself?

And that’s how, one year and one lengthy application process later, the team—newly

he players were in their 20s and 30s. Some hailed from Croatia, Iran and France; others were born at Martha Jefferson Hospital. Some had played soccer in college or professionally, and now they had homes and families in Charlottesville.

They met weekly for casual pickup games to knock a ball around UVA’s Lambeth Field.

In the summer of 2015, just for kicks, the group registered for Neptune’s, a regional tournament in Virginia Beach. They thought it would be a fun way to spend a weekend.

They ended up sweeping the competition.

“We realized that not only were we having fun, but we were winning and really successful,” says David Deaton, who was the squad’s captain.

The team decided to ride that success all the way to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the oldest ongoing national amateur soccer tournament in the U.S. There, a team can climb the ranks from playing other local groups to potentially competing against a Major League Soccer squad.

But before that, they needed uniforms.

And a name. For both, Deaton turned to Aroma’s Café.

“If we can play together as kids, we can build together as adults. If we’re not cultivating a safe place to play at younger ages, then it leads to a lack of understanding at the adult level.” DAVID DEATON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21

“If you’re of American background and playing soccer, then you’re going to be immediately drawn into where it’s a hotbed of popularity, and all these other international groups that are playing the sport,” Deaton says.

Some Alliance members have played in the local Liga Latina, even if they don’t speak Spanish. For others on the team, English is a second or third language. On the pitch, that’s usually a bigger joke than it is an issue.

Soccer is a lot of things to the members of the Alliance. It’s a passion. It’s a way to make a living. But, above all, it has made strangers all across the world into teammates and friends.

“Your connective tissue is the game, so you don’t have time to worry about the fact that you don’t agree on politics,” says Thomas. “Maybe we don’t, and maybe we argue about that later, but at the end of the day, the foundational part of our relationship is our love of the game.”

Sports can do more than just ease political differences; they can smooth cultural and linguistic ones as well. Because soccer is an easily accessible street sport intrinsic to areas

Even before the Alliance became part of the NPSL, it was already shaping players’ college careers just by keeping them in touch with the game.

“Just playing pickup with them isn’t exactly the level that college soccer is or anything,” says Forrest White, a regular at pickup games while on summer break from playing at Virginia Tech. “But it was still kind of just to keep me in shape and keep me enjoying playing soccer, which a lot of people in college lose very quickly.”

But this summer, the NPSL team provides something that Charlottesville lacked prior to 2018: a place to train over the summer.

Local college players, for the first time in their career, don’t have to drive hours out of town to condition with a competitive squad.

NCAA regulations restrict athletes from playing with their college coaches during break, which means the Alliance holds a powerful draw. This is one of the only teams in the NPSL to be led by a Division I coach, with Jon Atkinson of Longwood University at the helm, which gives players a chance to receive college-level instruction when school’s not in session.

Many of the senior players on the team also serve as mentors, and several of them have their own coaching careers. Thomas is the founder of Gradum Academy, a training program for kids who want to take their soccer careers to the next level. His academy serves as a pipeline to the Alliance; some of his students include Abibi Osman (University of Lynchburg), Barun Tamang (Randolph College) and Blake Wheaton (Emory University), all on the Alliance’s 2018 roster.

The NPSL team provides Thomas’ trainees with a place to play full games, an invaluable addition to their college preparation.

As someone who had to mail CD recordings of his Albemarle High playing highlights in order to get the attention of college teams, Thomas hopes Alliance games not only draw soccer fans but scouts as well.

“Can we make this a place where people want to come watch, from a fan standpoint but also from a legitimate talent standpoint?” asks Thomas. “The boys are good. They’re absolutely good enough.”

“When growing up in my teens and through my 20s, soccer was fun because it was a sport,” Deaton says. “And then when I moved to Asia and I was able to travel the world, I started to realize that soccer was amazing because it put me in contact with people that I never would have known otherwise.” In Charlottesville, soccer introduced Deaton and the team to kids at the Blue Ridge Juvenile Detention Center, where the Alliance plays a soccer game with residents on the first Friday of every offseason month.

“We can come [to the detention center], kick a ball around, have a laugh, shake hands, even though the contexts of our lives have taken different paths,” Deaton says. “That doesn’t mean that, at our basic core, we’re not exactly the same people.”

For the kids at BRJDC, meeting visitors who consider themselves to be “exactly the same people” as detainees is a novelty. In Volume 5, Issue 4 of Sharing Our Progress, a detention center newsletter, a resident shared heartfelt thanks with the Alliance for its visits. “People think that we are criminals and bad people,” he wrote, “but it’s good to see that people come in and don’t see us like that.”

Visits to the detention center are just one example of underserved parts of the community that soccer has allowed the Alliance to reach. The team has purchased soccer goals for International Rescue Committee children as well as for Friendship Court.

Members play with and offer free game tickets to kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Virginia. These efforts have culminated in a college scholarship program for local students.

Deaton has also been part of a campaign to improve area practice field infrastructure.

The Alliance has a seat at the table as the county discusses creating new places to play, which the team sees as crucial in helping area kids grow up in a diverse community.

“If we can play together as kids, we can build together as adults,” says Deaton. “If we’re not cultivating a safe place to play at younger ages, then it leads to a lack of understanding at the adult level.”

On July 7, in Baltimore, Maryland, the Alliance’s first season as an NPSL team came to an end, with a record of 3-5-2. But more than its record, the team was successful in establishing a semi-professional summer team in Charlottesville that will continue working toward its goal of reshaping the sports landscape in town.

“It’s all about pushing this concept as far as it can go,” Deaton says. “How successful can Charlottesville be on the pitch?

How much can it have an impact on the community?”

One answer to that is to create a women’s team. Next summer, the Alliance hopes to have a parallel female squad debuting alongside the airing of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Meanwhile, both teams hope to be present in the community year-round, not just during the summer season.

“My goal, if you ask me what do I want to see this do long-term, is that I want it to be around,” says Thomas. “I want it to be around when my kids are playing.”

SATURDAY 8/4

PLUCKY PLAYER

FROM THE HEART Overcoming injuries, battling “drinking issues” and months at a time on the road would change, possibly derail, most bands.

But Sons of Bill put its collective heart on its sleeve and used these challenges to craft its newest album, Oh God Ma’am. Released in June, the record shows an increased maturity in the band’s sound, mostly leaving country behind in favor of a darker, more varied alternative. $15, 7:45pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.

The music of Daniel Bachman is known as American primitive guitar, but some may consider that a misnomer. The complex, plucked arrangements distinctive to the Fredericksburg native are anything but simple. Many of his songs stretch past the 10-minute mark, and some are entirely instrumental. With any other musician, leaving your voice out of your tracks would be a gamble, but Bachman is an engaging master of finger-picking—and he knows it. $10, 8pm. Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, 414 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 293-9947.

Most of it is as sweet and light as you imagine—melodic with pervasive bossa nova rhythms and frolicsome solos. Guaraldi is backed by a spare guitar trio on Oh, Good Grief!, the first album of the set.

Recorded in San Francisco on a single March day in 1968, it is exuberant and wonderful. And though The Eclectic Vince Guaraldi feels a bit weighed down by added strings, does Alma-Ville. Overall, a delight.

Wild! Wild! Wild!

(Bloodshot)

Steamrolling vocalist Linda Gail Lewis (Jerry Lee’s little sister) supplies a direct line to the swirling Memphis soul stew of rockabilly, barroom boogie, jazz, gospel, country, etc. And Lewis, Robbie Fulks and their crack band perfectly dial in these and other styles: “That’s Why They Call It Temptation” is sweet honky-tonk; the title track just straight rocks and “Who Cares” is Buddy Holly meets Hawaiian swing.

On the hammy, hilarious “Till Death,” there’s even a Monkees turnaround. That Lewis threatens to blow away Fulks’ low lonesome crooning at any moment is no slight on him; besides, he wrote most of these great songs. Wild! Wild!

ver since he was a kid, Tony LaRocco has been enamored with cosmos—both the Carl Sagan show and the concept powering it, seeing the universe as a “well-ordered whole.” It’s an obsession that permeates his musical life, from lyrics to sound choices to the name of his band, Pale Blue Dot, a reference to a 1990 photo of Earth taken by a space probe.

LaRocco and his mother bonded over their love of the final frontier. “She raised me on the old Carl Sagan videotapes,” he says. “We plowed through a big box set.

When The Daily Progress ran the pale blue dot story, my mom cut out the picture and stuck it to our fridge. It’s something that’s always been very poignant to our family.”

Though LaRocco founded Pale Blue Dot, he calls it a “socialist” group in which every member has equal say. Drummer Darby Wootten and bassist Drew Pompano huddle with LaRocco around a tiny table at C’ville Coffee. Guitarist Peter Balogh is absent, but there wouldn’t have been room for him anyway. The tight setting feels even more intimate thanks to LaRocco’s sudden, infectious laugh, and his passion when talking about his music.

Just a few years ago, LaRocco thought he was done with writing and recording. In 2011 Charlottesville, he says there wasn’t an audience for his type of music. “Rock was dead, and I was still writing these rockish tunes.” But then, creative inspiration struck in the way it often does, without source, explanation or timing, and LaRocco got back to making music.

As is the case with many bands, the guys who make up Pale Blue Dot all have separate day jobs. LaRocco and Pompano are music teachers, while Wootten works at several local businesses. Balogh is a stem cell researcher.

This level of maturity is reflected in the band’s music. Its most recent album, Anatomy, released in May, is a tour de force with lyrics centering around turmoil and stress, both personal and political, and powered by a clean style of rock rarely heard in modern music.

Cosmology is at its center, giving the LP a timeless, existential twist that’s both uncomfortable and somehow comforting.

As with many bands based in Charlottesville, PBD spends time contemplating August 11 and 12, and the group’s impressively uplifting single, “Only Love,” takes a direct look at the topic. LaRocco attributes the hopeful mood to Yolonda Jones, a local photographer, musician and activist (described

by LaRocco as the “bee’s knees”), who provides some of the vocals and influenced the songwriting.

Pale Blue Dot (from left: Darby Wooten, Drew Pompano, Peter Balogh and Tony LaRocco) opens for the Skip Castro Band at Fridays After Five.

LaRocco says that a few of the original words were “get out of my town and don’t come back,” but Jones found the message too aggressive. “So I asked her what she would want to do and she said she would want to talk to them. I said, ‘Come on inside and let’s find a path?’ Boom. Perfect.”

TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUM When he’s not drumming for Pale Blue Dot, Darby Wootten has an unusual side hustle—he manages the Putt-Putt Fun Center. Opened in 1966, it’s located on Rio Road and is the oldest of its kind in the country.

The course features a safari theme with several wildlife statues, including its iconic giraffe, which is visible from the street.

“My friend got me a job at the Putt-Putt place 12 years ago,” Wootten says. “I was 19 then, and now I’m manager. I thought putt-putt would probably suit my lifestyle well.”

Other tracks on Anatomy are political on a larger scale, with the moody, guitar-heavy “Stained Glass Window” referring to the 2016 election, and “Yesterday’s News” in direct response to the rise of fake news.

As for the sound of the album itself, Pompano explains that the songs were recorded in three different studios—in Nashville, Washington, D.C., and Nelson County— and that this resulted in a distinct sound for each set of songs, attributing “emotionally draining tunes,” “angsty” ones and “pensive, technically ambitious” songs to each respective studio.

Wootten emphasizes that songs can change from day to day, defining it as a strength. “In the recording studio, we just make a picture of that song at that moment,” he says. “The songs will warp down the road.”

While LaRocco stresses that Pale Blue Dot isn’t a political or protest band, he acknowledges that some of the songs on Anatomy skirt these themes—he even admits that the style of the band’s music is tailored to these ideas. “I don’t feel like you can get angry and scream at someone like Donald Trump without an overdriven guitar and drums,” he says.

“I love Joan Baez and I love Bob Dylan, but I don’t think an acoustic guitar has the same effect. Sometimes, you just gotta yell.”

Cosmology is at its center, giving the LP a timeless, existential twist that’s both uncomfortable and somehow comforting.

DAN ADDISON

n an overcast and humid evening on the Downtown Mall, multimedia artist Golara Haghtalab seems to fill the Mudhouse with light. She recognizes a barista from when she worked there “a long time ago,” and though Haghtalab can’t remember his name at first, she still strikes up a spirited conversation. With that same palpable, kinetic energy, Haghtalab reflects on her identity as a Turkmen, Iranian and Muslim immigrant.

“The mirror of who you are shatters when you immigrate,” Haghtalab says. “I came to America and the mirror of my identity shattered.”

Haghtalab repeatedly returns to this image of shattered mirror as central to who she is as a maker, scientist and Iranian immigrant.

She feels drawn to the Japanese art of kintsugi, which is both a method of repairing art and a philosophy that celebrates what is broken. To fix a cracked piece of pottery, Japanese artists practicing kintsugi fill gaps using gold, silver or platinum-dusted lacquer.

“My philosophy of life is like this art,” says Haghtalab. “When something breaks, they fix it with gold to keep the experience of it, to nourish it and to make it more beautiful.”

Nearly seven years ago, while Haghtalab was in her third year of architecture school, the U.S. Department of State randomly selected her to win a diversity visa. Within six months, Haghtalab, her parents and siblings immigrated to Charlottesville. As lifelong advocates of education, Haghtalab’s parents chose Charlottesville for its proximity to UVA. In Iran and in the United States, Haghtalab says they remained “encouraging in every aspect of education.”

During her first few years in Charlottesville, Haghtalab felt “totally lost.” She found the “machine” of American culture isolating and “scary,” and missed the architecture, culture, stories and languages of Islamic and Persian cultures. After being admitted to and enrolling at UVA, Haghtalab “once again found [her] balance.” She fulfilled a double-major in chemistry and studio art and graduated in May 2017.

“The last three years have been the best in my life...I was able to figure out who I am,” says Haghtalab. “One of my findings through my rediscovery is that I love the arts and sciences together. I stand between these two.”

After graduation Haghtalab worked at BrightSpec, a local startup that specializes in molecular rotational resonance spectroscopy. The company developed a unique

Multi-media artist Golara Haghtalab collaborated with Computers4Kids to create an interactive artwork titled “Seasons of Light: A Kinetic Experience.” The installation is at The Gallery at Studio IX August 3 through September 2.

software that allows scientists to more quickly obtain the chemical makeup of samples. Haghtalab says her time at BrightSpec greatly impacted her art-making approach and processes, learning ”about chemistry, waves and mirrors, which started to make me feel curious about how to use these materials in my art.”

As a Tom Tom Founders Festival artist-in-residence at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative this past April, Haghtalab incorporated many of those elements in her exhibition “Who is your RGB self?” The solo show featured dance, paintings, poetry and sculptural elements like CDs woven together with metal chains. Haghtalab points out an interactive piece of the exhibition that rendered visitors’ shadows in hues of red, green and blue.

“You see your shadow go in three different directions,” Haghtalab says. “And when you interact with other people, it changes colors.”

After a two-month collaboration with Computers4Kids’ youth members, Haghtalab’s participation- and technology-based art will light up The Gallery at Studio IX for a First Fridays reception on August 3.

Though the collaborative installation is titled “Seasons of Light: A Kinetic Experience,” Haghtalab refers to the roughly fourfoot by three-foot piece in anatomical terms.

The “skin” is a painting of a willow tree that uses limited pigments and might be what viewers see first, Haghtalab explains. Ardu-

ino programmable circuit boards, color-changing LED lights and sensors behind the thin painting make up the artwork’s “bones” and “nervous system.”

Haghtalab and mentees at Computers4Kids artfully fused each of these elements together to create the experience of watching a willow tree change through nature’s four seasons. As viewers approach the piece, the tree’s leaves go from green to red, orange and yellow. Lights in blue and yellow hues will also illuminate a body of water near the willow tree and the sun, and Haghtalab hopes the exhibition will include in-process images featuring Computers4Kids members.

She says she never imagined she would work with children to complete a piece like “Seasons of Light,” and now “all [she] wants to do is work with kids.” Haghtalab calls herself a STEAMer—an advocate for science, technology, engineering, arts and math. She believes that the future of education is in making those disciplines more inclusive.

“I don’t like to say we need to empower women. We are already powerful,” says Haghtalab. By bringing children together to experience the arts and STEM fields, “you remove the fear.”

“When you work hands-on, you bring everything together. It’s teamwork,” Haghtalab says. “The only indicator of your success is if a lightbulb turns on.”

ifty years after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, and several days before the first anniversary of last summer’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, UVA’s Heritage Theatre Festival unveiled its production of The Mountaintop, a play that reimagines the final hours of King’s life and celebrates the humanity of its hero.

Written by Katori Hall and debuted in 2009, the story is told anew by masterful director Kathryn Hunter-Williams and presented as a gift: medicine designed to rejuvenate hearts in a hurting community and divided country.

When the lights go down, James Brown is singing. When they go up, we hear rain.

It’s April 3, 1968, and the red neon sign of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, glows like a boomerang. Inside Room 306, we see two twin beds, one made up neatly, the other a mess. Crumpled balls of paper dot the carpet; legal pads, pens, ashtrays and coffee pots litter the Art Deco furniture. This is a thinking man’s hotel room.

When King enters, you feel pressure swollen like the humid weight of the storm settle on your shoulders. The tension is high, fraught with dramatic irony, which might be why you laugh so hard when he takes off his shoes, wrinkles his nose and comments aloud about the smell.

Alone with his thoughts, frustrations and persistent cough, the condemned man sheds his pulpit uniform—black suit, brown tie, black shoes—with the resignation of a road warrior. This isn’t the first empty motel room he’s retired to after rekindling hope for a weary and worried audience, but it will be his last. Because the church he exited on this rainy night, the small crowd he complains of to the maid who brings him coffee, was the Mason Temple in Memphis. The speech to which he gave so much energy will come to be known as “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” a prophetic charge to his people to press on to the promised land, the mountaintop King saw in his dreams, even if he should not make it there with them. He would be shot and killed just 31 hours after delivering it.

So here we are in the motel, trapped between prophesy and martyrdom, listening to the leader of the American civil rights movement urinate (behind closed doors) while we wait for him to die. It’s a testament to the creativity of the playwright and the fine work of this production that nervous tension need only carry us so far. Soon enough the story morphs, unlocking deeper dimensions of attention, rousing us from trainwreck-stupors and absorbing our whole hearts.

Enoch A. King plays Martin Luther King Jr., and Suzette Azariah Gunn is Camae in The Mountaintop at the Ruth Caplin Theatre through August 5.

Enoch A. King, who plays MLK, brings remarkable range and his own spin to the iconic character. Though his bearing, oratorical skills and mustache evoke an eerie likeness to King, he never attempts to carbon copy him.

Instead, he makes him accessible, shifting from tenacity to flirtation to paranoia to bombast, sometimes on a dime. Most remarkable is the way he deepens as the show progresses.

By the time he delivers his final speech, you would swear MLK himself was onstage.

Suzette Azariah Gunn’s Camae, a housekeeper tasked with attending to King during her first day on the job, is a seemingly inadvertent companion for his final night on earth. Gunn delivers a powerful performance, matching King’s fiery sermons with her own passionate arguments on changing the world. She, too, is larger than life somehow, speaking on behalf of society: sharing Black Panther beliefs, roasting King’s “bougie“ assumptions, referring to God as a “she” with steadfast conviction, and ultimately carrying a secret set to redeem us all.

Credit goes to Hunter-Williams, scenic designer Raul Abrego, lighting designer Latrice Lovett and sound designer Michael Rasbury for the show’s captivating portrayal of an ordinary world that teeters on the edge of something extraordinary. The whole experience is elevated (and ultimately transformed) by light shifts, clever sets and the explosions of thunder that set King shaking.

When the show crescendos, thanks in large part to the crew, it leaves us light years from where we began.

I’m loathe to give away the play’s significant surprises but suffice to say, I cried for none of the expected reasons but because, at the same instant Katori’s plot shed its literal trappings, my mind and heart woke up.

This production is delivered in such a time and place and way that you leave the theater changed. It’s hard to know if you’ve traveled

The Mountaintop Ruth Caplin Theatre Through August 5

forward or backward in time or simply deeper into yourself, awake and aware and alive, like King himself, until the very end.

Reflecting on the personal costs and challenges of his work, lamenting the misunderstandings he perceives in his followers, King asks in a grief-soaked voice, “Why me?”

When Camae rejoins “Why not you?” his answer is ready: “Because I’m just a man.”

The message is clear: No one who changes the world is born with the suprahuman ability to do so. To fight for equality, and keep on fighting, is a brave choice made by flawed humans, and no one is absolved from the responsibility of making that decision.

For evil, as Camae reminds us, is not a who but a what. And 50 years later, the world remains as beautiful and as ugly as King knew it to be. It would appear the mountaintop was never a destination nor permanent citadel but rather a possibility, available in every moment for those who choose to go there.

When the show crescendos, thanks in large part to the crew, it leaves us light years from where we began.

Taking the lead Fallout is an MI franchise standout

By Kristofer Jenson arts@c-ville.com

Tom Cruise continues to rule the action hero genre as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible: Fallout.

topping it all off with a gambit truly worthy of the moniker Impossible.

There are many ways Fallout is superior to those that came before it: dialogue, use of space, establishment of stakes, interesting new characters and effective use of existing ones. But what really sets it apart is how it values suspense over intrigue. Anybody can lie to an audience about a character’s true motivation in an attempt to shock it later, but it takes real skill to show the viewers what’s going to happen and still keep them invested in how it goes down. Hunt needs to get in that room, there’s no question he’s going to make it into that helicopter, but it

takes serious skill to make us want to watch anyway.

It’s also a pleasant surprise that this may be the best acted film of the series. Cruise’s performance shows Hunt weighed down by a lifetime of fighting, cursed by the knowledge that to quit may mean the end of the world. Alec Baldwin is a cut above the self-

parody we have come to expect; Simon Pegg still quips but his humor is a more integrated part of his personality than before; and even Angela Bassett’s walk-on role is memorably complex. The odd one out here is Cavill, whose limp line readings drain his character of all mystery. He and his mustache have quite the screen presence, but a character actor he is not.

In the grand ranking of enormous blockbuster sequels, M:I lands somewhere below Fast & Furious for pure fun, way above Jurassic World for understanding its own franchise’s history, and is about even with goodbut-not-great Marvel movies in terms of narrative cohesion and overall quality.

Though if future movies expand on the best parts of Fallout and move past flaws (too many masks, outcomes that could not possibly have been planned for), we may end up with something truly special.

August 1 – 7, 2018 c-ville.com

or a series where every installment feels more like a product of inevitability than inspiration, credit is due to the Mission: Impossible series for its commitment to one-upping itself. If the cost of entry is an insane Tom Cruise stunt show every few years that’s punctuated with some spy silliness and a couple of laughs, and an overlong and instantly forgettable plot, then the world is getting a good deal out of this franchise.

In Fallout, megaspy and compulsive risk-taker Ethan Hunt (Cruise) must track down a trio of nuclear devices before they fall into the hands of the anarchist terror network The Apostles, which is dedicated to achieving lasting peace in the wake of unthinkable calamity. The devices are only up for grabs in the first place because Hunt chose to rescue Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) instead of fleeing with them during a botched operation, so he is assigned August Walker (Henry Cavill) as a partner to ensure the mission is done by the books—and at the expense of human life if necessary.

From there go the plot twists you’ve been expecting—a preposterous amount of double crosses and double-double crosses, then on to a big reveal where the biggest surprise is that writer-director Christopher McQuarrie seems to think we hadn’t already figured it out. In any case, all of these meanders exist to build tension for the barnburner of a finale, and boy does Fallout deliver. Where Rogue Nation frontloaded its major deathdefying spectacle, Fallout contains several breathless chases and fights that would have been the highlight of most other movies,

“The root of my inspiration—pun intended—is firmly planted in the natural world,” says local artist Sam Gray. “When I’m feeling crazy, the best medicine is to go into the woods and be with the mosses, trees, herbs, fungi and critters,” she says. “I find a lot of magic in that connection.”

That connection between the natural world and the human soul is what Gray explores in the paintings and drawings of her premiere solo show, “Gaean Reveries,” currently on view in the McGuffey Art Center’s Sarah B. Smith Gallery. The work “is characterized by feminist, witchy, natural motifs that viewers will take in as they will,” she says.

For instance, there’s a painting of a pink uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and cervix intertwined with pink roses on a blue background. Another painting is of a grapefruit, pulled in half, juice dripping from the wedges still enclosed in the pith as a snake curls around it. In yet another, a vulva emerges from the center of a rose.

When Gray creates, she doesn’t anticipate how viewers might react to her work—“that would dilute my own creativity,” she says—and so she focuses on channeling what comes from within her, or through her, and it’s developed into an individual style she calls “anthrobotanical surrealism.”

Gray especially didn’t anticipate how viewers might react to paintings of vaginas and uteruses, and she worried for a moment that the work might be censored. But that wasn’t the case, and gallerygoers have been supportive of the work. She’s even overheard a few comments about parents wanting to take their daughters to “the vagina exhibit.”

Gray doesn’t want to tell viewers of her work what to see, or feel, but she’ll share a small seed of suggestion: “I hope that my work helps encourage people to slow down and be curious so that they can see magic around themselves more often,” and perhaps “learn to apply their eyes in new ways to the world around them.”—Erin O’Hare

Says Red Pump’s sommelier, T.C. Whysall, “Winning this award shows how hard my team works together to give unique wine and dining experiences with their knowledge of the list and pairings with the menu.”

Shark Mountain Coffee and Chocolate recently announced the permanent closing of its I.Lab location. No word yet on future plans for the company, but a Facebook post hinted at something to come: “We’re always scheming,” it said.

of the other participating restaurants relied more on bacon as a condiment rather than making bacon itself the star. This jowl bacon, produced by Autumn Olive Farms, was incredible. Instead of a crunch, it had a gooey chewiness. Instead of a savory saltiness, it tasted sweet, with a touch of vinegary tartness. Instead of being sliced long and thin, it was cut into more cubic chunks, creating a gradient of texture throughout the bite. Overall, the dish presented bacon in a way almost antithetical to the stereotypical bacon experience. Needless to say, I gave them my vote.

Eleven local restaurants brought forth their best bacon dishes for judging.

BBQ Exchange: Bourbon BBQ Basted Bacon-wrapped Shrimp Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar: Braised Bacon Banh Mi Feast!: BLT with Peach-Candied Virginia Bacon Fellini’s Italian Restaurant: Chilled and Sweet Bacon Soup with Candied Jowl Bacon The Ivy Inn Restaurant: Bacon-wrapped Tater Tot atop Bacon Chili Keevil & Keevil Grocery and Kitchen: Funnel Cake with Maple Bacon Frosting Maya: BLT Salad Parallel 38: House-made Bacon Jam over Brussels-Pomegranate, Labneh, Oro Nero Rapture: Mini Buttermilk Lard Biscuits with Tomato Bacon Jam and Pimento Cheese Timbercreek Market: Bacon-flavored Tofu with Cherry Tomatoes, Crispy Jowl Bacon, Herbs and Bacon Dashi The Whiskey Jar: Bourbon/Sorghum Cured Pork Belly, Jalapeño Pimento Mac and Cheese with Pepper Jelly

That being said, there were several other impressive bacon dishes at the festival, in particular The Whiskey Jar’s pork belly and jalapeno pimento mac and cheese with watermelon rind relish. This dish is aggressively Southern. Pimento cheese, sometimes known as the caviar of the South, works perfectly in a bacon dish; its rich creaminess fit like a glove around the savory bacon and sour relish.

The ultimate victor of the CURED Cup was Parallel 38. While its pork belly gyros were arguably not a bacon dish (as they were loaded with more of a barbecue-style pork), the bacon jam-cooked Brussels sprouts with pomegranate seeds was truly a unique dish.

Brussels sprouts are one of the foods that I can’t entirely warm up to. I was forced to eat them as a child, so they have permanently been cast as a punishment food in my brain.

However, this dish, which didn’t contain any physical bacon besides its fat, was terrific.

The savory and sweet partnered well with the leafy toughness of the Brussels sprouts, making this one of the few dishes at the festival that I ate more than one serving of.

I even spotted a man picking a dropped Brussels sprout up off the pavilion floor and placing it back in his mouth where it belonged. The true mark of a winning dish.

BRING ON THE BACON

s a lifelong Virginian, it’s hard to be surprised by the versatility of bacon. The meaty treat is used like salt around here—it sneaks its way into almost any dish. I’ve even found it in one of my all-time favorite dishes, shrimp and grits, a dish that by its very name precludes bacon. Regardless, I thought I had experienced all that bacon had to offer. I was wrong.

The second CURED Bacon Festival that took place July 21 at the Sprint Pavilion, drew 11 local restaurants that brought their most creative baconthemed creations to compete for the coveted CURED Cup: a large trophy of a flying pig, essentially the Stanley Cup of central Virginia bacon dishes.

But the main aspect of the festival isn’t all about the meat, it’s philanthropy. If any festivalgoer had a particular hog in the fight, they could purchase extra voting tokens in order to influence the results to their liking.

The money from the voting went to the Local Food Hub, a nonprofit whose mission is to increase community access to locally sourced food.

There isn’t any specific reason for the CURED Cup’s presence in Charlottesville. In fact, bacon festivals are nearly as ubiquitous as wine and strawberry festivals in these parts. Richmond, Hampton Roads and Smithfield all have their own bacon festivals. The reason for ours is simple. According to Kirby Hutto, general manager of the Sprint Pavilion, “Everyone loves bacon.” That claim was made clear by several “I Love Bacon” shirts, which I saw from the moment I entered the festival.

One of the most spectacular bacon dishes I had at the CURED fest came from Fellini’s. The chilled bacon soup with jowl bacon and charred corn was a delight. Many

or most of us, we never think about synchronized swimming outside of the Summer Olympics, when we watch in amazement as swimmers dive, kick and pose in perfect unison. But for Samantha Elhart, synchronized swimming is more than just a passing interest—it’s her passion.

Elhart started swimming in high school and pursued it throughout college. But after graduating and having kids, she found she was too busy to swim consistently. Years later, her children asked about synchronized swimming while watching the 2012 Summer Olympics on TV. Elhart explained the sport, and her kids wanted to try it.

“I told them that it would be better if you did it with some of your friends, and once we started, the idea [of starting a team] came to me,” she says.

That was the beginning of the Charlottesville Swans, a youth synchronized swimming team of swimmers ages 12 to 19 that Elhart coaches. For the past few years, the Swans have qualified for the Junior Olympics, a competition associated with the United States Olympic Committee. The 2018 Junior Olympics for synchronized swimming, which drew teams from around the country, were held at the end of June at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

Qualifying for the Junior Olympics is no easy feat. Synchronized swimming meets start in January of each year, but the Swans begin practicing long before that, beginning in September. “Once January comes around, we have a meet once a month until around May,” Elhart says.

When Elhart started the Swans six years ago, she only took one team to the Olympics. This past year, she coached eight teams that qualified. “We took almost 26 kids this year to the [Junior Olympics],” she says. “We’ve grown a lot since we’ve started.”

The Swans placed 26th in the 12 and under solo competition, a strong showing on the national stage.

Synchronized swimming doesn’t just involve being an expert swimmer; it is a combination of various disciplines. In fact, Elhart is not the only coach for the Swans—she’s hired gymnastics, Pilates and swimming coaches. The kids are separated into different groups, depending on their skillset. This allows the coaches to teach the girls the skills they need at their own pace.

“It’s hard enough to swim, so to ask a child to extend their leg into the air from underwater takes a lot of time,” Elhart says.

There are different types of routines, including solo, duet and trio, as well as teams of four to eight girls. Elhart’s favorite routine? The combo, which sounds exactly like what it is.

“I love that one because you can go nuts with the things you can do. I can have a few solo routines, some duets, anything you can think of,” she says.

The best part about this job for Elhart isn’t just the opportunity to compete with other teams but being able to teach kids about the sport that she’s been in love with for years. “I’ve been a coach for a long time and being able to work with these kids and teach them this sport, it’s always a rewarding experience,” she says. “It’s the best part of my day.”

Williston Built ca. 1869 and on the National Register of Historic Places, Williston has been beautifully restored. Of Italianate style, the interior survives with nearly all its trim and with few alterations. Rare and stenciled murals have been partially restored in the Dining Room. An elevator connects the tall, English basement with the second floor. A “street” of domestic buildings survives and includes servants quarters, a granary, and a smokehouse. The park-like grounds create a garden of privacy and include a pool. 28+ acres of fenced pasture and forest.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m not an ascetic who believes all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a pop-nihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children and sunny days. On the contrary: I’m devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there’s an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it’s time to deal with difficulties I’ve ignored.

How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles and aches.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No. Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles? I’m pretty sure it would.

So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t try to steer the river,” writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It’s arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its ever-shifting patterns and rhythms. But wait!

Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra flexible and robust—like now, for you—you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

Sagittarius

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.” A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited.

I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present. It’s a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice?—Ambitious Sagittarius.” Dear Ambitious: I’ve noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express.

Here’s a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: “Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction.” Here’s another tip from Anais Nin: “The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time does not necessarily heal all wounds. If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you’re shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You’ve got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you’ve been asking aren’t bad or wrong. But they’re not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That’s why the answers you’ve been receiving aren’t of maximum use. Try these questions instead.

1. What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can’t quite accomplish under your own power? 3. Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that’s imaginary so you’ll be able to focus on the 5 percent that’s truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to

beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A scuffle you’ve been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle. It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don’t waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you’ve wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you’ve received. The skills you’ve been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle.

Aries (March 21-April 19): I predict that August will be a Golden Age for you. That’s mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you’ll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it’s also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose.

The bird’s owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn’t work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literally translation was “excrement of the gods.” Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Taurus socialite Stephen Tennant was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him. As a boy, when he was asked what he’d like to be when he grew up, he replied, “I want to be a great THRILL OF THE FRILL

A chic boutique for romantic adornments

Psst... Four not-so-common reading recs from a UVA writing prof

beauty.” I’d love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you’re already all grown up? I doubt it. In my opinion, you’ve still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades. So yes: I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, “When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty.” (P.S. Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “Manage with bread and butter until God sends the honey,” advises a Moroccan proverb. Let’s analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven’t, I doubt that any honey will arrive, ether from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Don’t worry your beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence and attention to detail you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.

Q&A What do you think of Mayor Nikuyah Walker’s use of Facebook Live videos: great for transparency or hindering her leadership?

Both. Transparency has long been needed and I applaud her for that.

However, asking your constituents to riot a hire is inexcusable.

If she had concerns, she needs to put them on the table so the people can make up their own minds.

This is Mayor Walker playing to her base, being the general public isn’t informed of these events ahead of time. Same tactics as Trump: Not happy with something, rile up the troops!

PETE ARMETTA/FACEBOOK

@CHIEFGREYFOX/TWITTER

Probably hurts. Because of all the negative stuff.

I do not watch FB Live videos but I believe, in Walker’s case, that she genuinely seeks accountability and transparency and that her concerns are justified. I encourage council to find an acceptable way for any member to “pull the cord” and air concerns.

That’s her goal. @CANTINFLANEUR/TWITTER

I find her use of Facebook videos offputting, like Trump’s twitters. She is practicing the politics of resentment and that is not benefiting anyone.

JIM BARNS/EMAIL

Hindering. A leader isn’t supposed to do that.

A leader is supposed to lead by example.

I think she’s great and making progress.

I dunno. I mean, partly because of her FB Live videos, but mostly because of her “leadership,” nobody is willing to accept the job of interim city manager.
