62 How has your perception of Charlottesville changed since August 12, 2017?

Horn of plenty Massillon Laporte traveled from Montréal, Québec, Canada, to play his trumpet on Fourth Street SE on Sunday, August 12. Laporte said he felt “deeply compelled” to play his music for Heather Heyer. “I just had to,” he said. This isn’t the first time Laporte has come hundreds of miles to play a musical memorial. In August 2009, he played Schubert’s “Ave Maria” outside of the funeral service for Senator Ted Kennedy in Boston; and in December 2013, he played outside the one-year Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting memorial in Newtown, Connecticut.

Amazing what words can hide! “My, what a handsome suit the emperor is wearing!”

Or “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Two of the 12 plaintiffs in the Confederate statues’ lawsuit [Payne v. Charlottesville] are senior leaders in the Virginia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans: Anthony Griffin, commander, and Britton Earnest, board of directors, and the Virginia SCV is also a plaintiff. SCV, Griffin, and Earnest are identified on page 5 in the original pleading as financing the lawsuit against City Council for voting to move the statue.

On the homepage of the SCV website are these words describing its mission: “... so that future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause.” Two clicks (first on “Research” then on “History”) will take you to the Confederate Catechism.

Page 11, paragraph 18 states, “The Negroes were the most spoiled domestics in the world. The Southerners took the Negro as a barbarian and cannibal, civilized him, supported him, clothed him, and turned him out a devout Christian.”

Where is the disclaimer? Their justification? Have any of the plaintiffs objected to this...ever?

Does this represent their personal or institutional beliefs? If not, why is it featured prominently on their website? Is this their culture and history to be preserved, an abominable twisting of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal?” Like Virginia has nothing but slavery to tout as its history worth preserving? What about George Washington, York, a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, our founding documents, and the thousands of other reasons to treasure this commonwealth? I would also add Charlottesville on August 12, 2017, when our citizens faced and eviscerated an armed invasion built on hate and racism and paid a heavy price in blood.

In court, nine other plaintiffs, several not even city residents, sit quietly in a fog of self-righteousness uttering not a word of condemnation, refusing to acknowledge this perversion of human values.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys should out of common decency withdraw the remainder of this discredited lawsuit and abandon the “fishing trip” in legal discovery for over 18 months of my official emails, maybe more.

They will find nothing, certainly nothing to establish “gross negligence.” This community discussion is almost two years old, with a Blue Ribbon Commission, everything in public, hundreds upon hundreds of public meetings, discussions, sermons.

This is a political process being judged in a court of law. That, in itself, is troublesome.

Personally, the charge against me is that I cast a vote. I represented. Clever, how these attorneys can charge for making nothing out of something as long as Sons of Confederate Veterans is footing the bill.

The emperor is in danger of catching a cold.

A plastic container of sidewalk chalk sits on Fourth Street SE at the site of the car attack that killed Heather Heyer and injured many others on August 12, 2017. People use the chalk to write messages of hope, love, and resistance on the asphalt, the sidewalk, and the brick walls of nearby buildings.

Every time rain washes the messages away, as it did last Sunday evening just as a temporary barricade between Fourth and Water streets came down, new ones appear.

One message has persisted not just in sidewalk chalk, but in the words spoken at the various memorials, protests, and community conversations that have taken place all year: Charlottesville has started to take a closer look at itself, but there’s still much work we have to do.

‘Martial law’ Officials say 1,000 cops necessary, searches ‘consensual’

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

EZE AMOS

TOP: Shield-carrying Virginia State Police line up at the statue of Robert E. Lee. BOTTOM LEFT: The sound of a helicopter hovering over downtown heightened the war-zone atmospherics. BOTTOM RIGHT: To enter the Downtown Mall, citizens had to submit to a search of purses and wallets.

Police say that was “consensual.”

“There was no one that was searched that was not consensual.”

POLICE CHIEF RASHALL BRACKNEY

Her friend, Dorothy Carney, compares the security measures to the Transportation Security Administration after 9-11. “It felt like an overreaction because nothing was shared about threats.”

Carney attended the student rally Saturday night and said it was really peaceful around Brooks Hall until about 100 cops in riot gear came marching in. That’s about the point Imhoff arrived, and she says, “You can see how quickly things can fall apart.”

Both Carney and Imhoff say cops were a lot friendlier this year than last, when they would not make eye contact.

“I had a lot of police smiling at me with my Black Lives Matter T-shirt on,” says Carney.

One other thing struck her: “You have a security checkpoint but you’re still allowing guns in. We need to change those laws.”

facebook.com/cville.weekly

She notes that initially officials said they were not going to check bags, and then ended up searching even wallets. “We’re under martial law in all but name,” she says.

Some made a point of braving the downtown hassles and came to support businesses there, like Kat Imhoff, Montpelier president and CEO. “I thought the police did a pretty good job,” she says. “A couple of times we left the barricaded area and had to go all the way around to get back in.”

@cvillenews_desk

lockdown. “I don’t think we’re allowed to talk about that,” says Wes Bellamy. ViceMayor Heather Hill says she knew there would be restrictions, but didn’t know exactly what they were.

Some saw the measures as an insult and over-compensation for last year’s deadly rally.

“I feel violated,” says activist Rosia Parker.

“I feel completely violated. The presence we have here now should have been here last year.

She adds, “They’re protecting property, not people.”

Parker also objects to being searched to walk on the Downtown Mall, and seeing police officers in riot gear protecting the Lee statue.

“I think it made things more tense,” says Jalane Schmidt. “The solution to last summer is not over policing.”

EZE AMOS

T

he August 12 weekend passed with no loss of life or serious injury, but many Charlottesville residents were not reassured by the show of police force and the restrictions on pedestrian access to the Downtown Mall that were announced a couple of days before they went into effect.

The Virginia State Police provided 700 officers, and the total number of cops on hand was around 1,000, according to officials.

“Last year, I was afraid of the Nazis,” says Black Lives Matter organizer and UVA professor Lisa Woolfork. “This year, I’m afraid of the police.”

Civil rights attorneys blasted the decision to limit pedestrian access to the mall to two entry points on Water Street—and that was before everyone entering had to submit to a search of bags and wallets.

“You wonder why some people in our community distrust you,” writes Jeff Fogel in an email to city officials. The decision to withhold notice of the mall lockdown “smacks of deception, manipulation, and lies,” he says.

Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead criticizes the lack of transparency and disclosure of a specific threat before restricting citizens’ ability to move freely. “To me it looks like martial law,” says Whitehead. “It creates a police state.”

At an August 13 press conference, public safety officials continued to refuse to answer whether there had been credible threats that warranted having 1,000 cops on hand.

“We had very large crowds here,” says Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney. “We had to plan for the variable of the unknown”—even if it was pretty clear the alt-right wasn’t coming.

Virginia State Police Superintendent Gary Settle says, “Some intelligence that I can’t reveal in a public forum caused us to make certain decisions and err on the side of caution.”

Brackney says the last-minute announcement of restricted mall access was to keep those points “close to the chest” and not reveal vulnerabilities to people who were surveilling social media for entry points into the controlled area.

On August 8, she said that citizens would not be subjected to searches unless there was reason to believe they had something that was on the lengthy list of prohibited items, including sticks, aerosol sprays, and knives.

But on August 11, everyone who wanted to go to the mall had to submit to a search of bags and wallets.

Says Brackney, “Everyone actually was given the option. There was no one that was searched that was not consensual. Everyone was allowed in. It was their items that were not allowed in.”

City councilors C-VILLE talked to were vague about what they knew about the mall

A diss to police and a march through the streets

By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

M

inutes before their rally was scheduled to begin August 11 in front of the Rotunda, UVA student activists dropped a banner that said, “Last year they came with torches, this year they come with badges,” and instructed hundreds of attendees to move their demonstration a few hundred feet to the left, where cops weren’t already waiting for them and they wouldn’t have to pass through metal detectors.

“They are here to control us,” said Erik Patton-Sharpe into a megaphone, and the crowd of students, community members, and out-of-town activists who came to support them echoed it. “They are here to control us,” the student said again, stomping a black combat boot on the pavement with every word.

It was the anniversary of the night that hundreds of white supremacists marched across Grounds, carrying lit tiki torches and chanting “Jews will not replace us.” When

they reached the Thomas Jefferson statue at the base of the Rotunda, they encircled it and a group of counterprotesters—mainly students and faculty—and then pepper sprayed them and beat them with their torches.

The victims have often said that night in 2017 set the tone for the rest of the August weekend, when countless brawls between neo-Nazis and anti-fascists broke out in the streets, and law enforcement stood by idly.

At an event titled The Hope That Summons Us earlier that morning, President Jim Ryan said on his 11th day in office that UVA must admit to the mistakes it made last summer, pledge to learn from those mistakes, and not be afraid to apologize.

He earned himself a standing ovation with his message for the victims: “I am sorry. We are sorry.”

At their rally for justice that evening, a student said she didn’t believe him.

Others said cops don’t exist to protect them, and that law enforcement has a history of violence against anti-racist protesters.

Students C-VILLE interviewed at the rally declined to give their names, but allies

passed around a flier with their unified message.

“What you see around you is not what we asked for,” it said, alleging that UVA administration forced them to plan the rally within the security parameters, required them to choose a select group of community members to join them, suggested they only allow those with student IDs inside the barricades the university erected, and designated a space for white supremacist counterprotesters. Said the flier, “It is a betrayal of our ideals and our community. ...The city and the university’s desire to control images and protect their brands has created a dangerous police state.”

“This was a wonderful opportunity to look at the physical structures that they were being framed in as an analogy for the institutional structures that they are trying to resist,” said Lisa Woolfork, a Black Lives Matter organizer who teaches at the university.

She was wearing a T-shirt that said “professors act against white supremacy” when one of the student organizers at the rally asked her to help pass out their fliers.

Many professors wore the same shirt, and another student said she could feel the support from UVA faculty that night.

“I do have a certain degree of power and authority, and I think it’s useful for those in positions of power to support those who have less power,” said Woolfork.

The flier also listed the students’ demands to the university: To pay all outstanding medical bills for victims of last August 11 and 12, to denounce white supremacy by issuing lifelong no trespass orders to the men identified on Grounds last August 11, and to disclose any profits raised at last summer’s Concert for Charlottesville.

By 7:20pm, riot cops had lined up on the outskirts of the new rally location on the triangle of grass in front of Brooks Hall, and the activists began hurling a new chant at them: “Why are you in riot gear? We don’t see no riot here.”

Some went face to face with law enforcement, while others advised them not to escalate the situation. The rally resumed peacefully and its attendees were again on the move.

UVA students said cops don’t exist to protect them, and that law enforcement has a history of violence against anti-racist protesters.

Hundreds of students, faculty, and other supporters gathered at the University of Virginia on August 11, the one-year anniversary of the white supremacist-led tiki-torch rally on Grounds, to support those who were beaten by men in white polos and khakis a year earlier. They also protested the police, and the security parameters they allege that UVA forced on their rally.

They marched to The Colonnades amphitheatre at Lambeth Field, with a dozen first stopping to confront a person they called “Nazi” wearing a Longwood University Tshirt and cowboy boots. By about 8:05pm, they had regrouped and some decided on a march through the streets of Charlottesville.

Students, faculty, and allies then marched through town, chanting and cheering as people came out of their homes and businesses to clap along or record the chaos on their cellphones. A few miles later and after many had tapered off, a group of about 100 local and out-of-town activists arrived downtown.

A police helicopter trailed the march, and officers were lined up along the way. On Water Street outside of Mono Loco, a Virginia State Police officer darted into the crowd and tackled one woman, for reasons VSP spokesperson Corinne Geller was unsure.

Immediately, the woman’s anti-fascist comrades swarmed her, and yanked her out of the officer’s grip. The brawl had separated into two smaller ones, and the activists joined back with the march without any arrests.

Video of the mini melee shows two VSP officers holding a third one back, as he struggled to break free in an apparent attempt to reach the protesters involved in the fight.

Another similar scuffle broke out on the Downtown Mall, where police say an officer saw a man masking his face and he and the suspect were knocked to the ground as the officer moved toward him. Charges are pending in this incident, but, again, the activist and his friends rejoined the demonstration and were lost in the crowd. They made their way to Market Street, where they decided to call it a night.

And to make sure everyone in the group was on the same page, they shouted their plan: “Come back tomorrow morning.”

One year later Anniversary weekend ends peacefully, with sad remembrances

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

SANJAY SUCHAK

A

year after white supremacists and neo-Nazis marched with torches through UVA and violent clashes in the streets left one woman dead and dozens injured, it was with some trepidation that locals commemorated August 11 and 12. The weekend ended without serious injury and with a handful of arrests on misdemeanor charges.

By late Sunday afternoon, the barricades surrounding downtown Charlottesville, which some said had put the city under “martial law,” were coming down, and the 700 Virginia State Police began heading home.

While sightings of hate group members were rare, more than 1,000 police in town created another sort of tension. A student demonstration planned in front of the Rotunda Saturday night abruptly changed course because of layers of restrictions, barricades, and cops, and became a loop around university neighborhoods.

And a march from a morning Washington Park remembrance of last year’s tragedy to Fourth Street, where a driver plowed into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing Heath-

No one understood why police formed lines extending from Fourth Street, where Heather Heyer was killed a year ago, but with tensions running high, local clergy members and other activists positioned themselves in front of the officers to make a safe space for community members to pass through.

er Heyer and injuring many more, became heated when police blocked access to the Downtown Mall from Water Street, where entrance already was restricted to First Street and Second Street SE. Those entry spots had cops lined up forming a humans-on-bikes barricade there, and marchers continued down to Fourth, where police refused to let them enter. After some heated moments and negotiations by activist Don Gathers, the band of more than 100 marchers split and some went back to Second Street SE to enter the mall through the checkpoint and commemorate the tragedy that occurred on Fourth Street.

Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, came with flowers both for her daughter and for the two Virginia State Police officers—Jay Cullen and Berke Bates—who died in a helicopter crash August 12.

“This is not all about Heather,” said Bro. “Oh my dear heavens. There were so many people who were wounded that day. They’re still suffering, still injured. There’s so much healing to do. We have a huge racial problem

The death of her daughter has galvanized Susan Bro to take up the fight for social justice.

The final first Heather Heyer’s mother channels her grief

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

their own “positive, nonviolent social justice campaign,” whether it’s letter writing, getting a permit, or dealing with logistics.

Says Bro, “We’re not encouraging marches. Been there, done that.”

She knows it’s kids who are going to make a difference, and Bro admits her ulterior motive: “I’m looking to train the next generation of Heathers.”

One thing she wants to make clear: “I don’t take a dime from the foundation.”

She shows a photo of her home to a reporter. “No, honey, that’s a single-wide trailer,” she says. It has two leaks and “my husband and I do the work ourselves.”

The past year, they’ve lived on money from the GoFundMe campaign, which raised $226,000, and in October, Bro will start to write and speak for money. She’s working on a children’s book and has a couple of book proposals on accountability and activism. “I’m almost 62,” she says. “No one’s going to hire me.”

She counts more than two dozen speaking engagements she’s done the past year.

As for media interviews—there are way too many to count. The week leading up to August 12, Bro seemed to be everywhere on both local and national media.

“It’s a juggling act,” she says.

“I’m used to government pay and a steady, stable life. My new normal is managing chaos.”

But after the anniversary weekend, Bro says, “I can get down to brass tacks. I have a better feeling of what needs to be done. I feel like I’m on the verge of something.”

he first anniversary of a loved one’s death is always difficult. On August 12, Susan Bro took flowers to Fourth Street, where her daughter was murdered.

“It’s tough,” she says. “This is the last of the firsts. After this, it’s all a repeat.”

A year ago at Heather Heyer’s funeral, Bro said, “They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well guess what? You just magnified her.”

In the “surreal” year after Heyer was killed at the Unite the Right rally, magnifying her daughter’s voice has become Bro’s mission.

“The first six months, I was driven by anger and a desire to get the foundation up,” says Bro at the Heather Heyer Foundation, which is headquartered in an office donated by the Miller Group law firm where Heyer worked. “The next month, I allowed myself to grieve.”

She shows a reporter photos of Heyer, with a long braid, taken just moments before she died. Heyer went that day to support her friends and former co-workers Marissa Blair and Courtney Commander, says Bro. “She wasn’t a leader. She was way back in the pack,” says Bro. “Marissa said they were relaxed and happy and going to get food.”

Heyer was wearing all black because she was heading to her restaurant job after the rally, says Bro. “Antifa has tried to claim her.”

And to the question of whether Heyer was antifa, Bro is adamant. “Hell no. She was opposed to violence.”

Bro went on last month’s civil rights pilgrimage, and she says it took that to wrap her head around why Heyer’s death was such a big deal: “the sanctity of white woman-

hood. What if it had been someone black?

Would we be having this?”

From the journey to Montgomery, Alabama, to commemorate Albemarle lynching victim John Henry James, she learned, “For a lot of us white people that went, the realization not only the depths of degradation imposed on the black community, but the sheer volume of it.”

The Heather Heyer Foundation offers scholarships to those passionate about social change. Bro describes it as a call to action because “hate is on the rise again.” She expects the foundation will point back to the “marginalized community of people of color,” where “black lives never mattered,” says Bro. “That’s what Heather was there for.”

And while Heyer was outspoken about social justice one-on-one or with her friends, “she couldn’t do it in front of crowds,” says her mother, who appears to have no such problem.

As a former teacher, Bro believes that talking to youth “always has an impact.” She told 5,000 of them at the B’Nai Brith Youth Organization three days after the deadly February 14 Parkland school massacre, “If you say hi to me, you have to tell me what you’ve done to make a difference,” recounts Bro. And when one kid said he was going to be a lawyer, “I said, ‘No, no, no. What are you going to do next week when you get home?’”

She’s working to expand the foundation’s endowment, which she estimates is around $150,000, and she wants to roll out Heyer Voices, a youth empowerment organization to help young people develop Heather Heyer

in our city and our country and we’ve got to fix that, or we’ll be back here.”

Bro brought two red roses for the downed officers, and purple stock for her daughter, which she laid on a memorial of flowers on the sidewalk.

And Bro hugged many of the people who were there August 12 a year ago, including Heyer’s friends Courtney Commander, Marissa Blair, and Marcus Martin, the latter captured in Ryan Kelly’s Pulitzer Prizewinning photograph, hurtling up in the air behind James Fields’ car.

And as people were dispersing, another standoff occurred with helmeted state police in the intersection of Water and Fourth streets.

Observing from the mall was Brian Moran, Virginia secretary of public safety, who was here a year ago and watched from the sixth floor of the Wells Fargo building the violent clashes on Market Street below, and famously compared the sporadic skirmishes to a hockey match.

Moran said he counted the weekend a success with a minimum number of arrests.

“I couldn’t be prouder of these officers,” he said. “We said it wouldn’t happen again. The city welcomed our resources.”

As he said that, shouts could be heard down Fourth Street, and when asked what was going on, he said, “They’re yelling at police. Last year a woman got killed when protesters took to the streets. We made sure there was no traffic this time. Police are trying to protect the protesters and they got yelled at.”

Moran noted that Jason Kessler, organizer of last year’s deadly Unite the Right rally, had just boarded a Metro in Vienna to go the sequel event he was having in Washington, and Moran seemed relieved to have him out of the state.

Four arrests had been made by 4pm Sunday. Tobias Beard, 42, a former C-VILLE Weekly contributor, was charged with obstruction of free passage when police say at around 11:04am, he deliberately positioned himself in front of police motorcycle units that were attempting to provide safe passage for a group of demonstrators in the area of Preston Avenue and Eighth Street. He was released on a summons.

Activist Veronica Fitzhugh, 40, and Martin Clevenger, 29, of Spotsylvania were each charged with one count of disorderly conduct when Clevenger saluted the Lee statue in Market Street Park at 11:25am. A small group gathered around him and a verbal altercation between Fitzhugh and Clevenger became physical, according to police.

Both were released on a summons.

And Chloe J. Lubin, 29, of Portland, Maine, was arrested by Virginia State Police on four misdemeanor charges: assault and battery, disorderly conduct, obstruction of justice, and possession of a concealed weapon. At approximately 2:10pm, a state trooper observed Lubin spit in the face of a demonstrator in the area of Fourth and Water streets. As the trooper attempted to take her into custody, she clung to another demonstrator. Upon her arrest, she was found to be in possession of a metal baton, say police.

She was released on an unsecured bond.

Kessler’s flop

By Natalie Jacobsen news@c-ville.com

A

Jason Kessler led a much diminished Unite the Right2 in Washington that drew thousands in opposition. The white supremacist contingent departed early.

no drastic moves were made. No chances were taken.

Lightning flashed above the White House, and rain started to fall. Protesters didn’t budge, but continued sharing their message of “love Trumps hate,” and “united against white supremacy.” A few activists from Charlottesville were seen in D.C. after spending all weekend in their own streets.

The hate group left before their rally was even due to start.

As police escorted them away from the square, some members of antifa and other organizations attempted to block them from leaving. Officers quickly moved protesters’ chained shopping carts out of the way, pushed through the crowd, and hustled the Unite the Right2 supporters out of the streets. A small firework, mistaken at first

for a flare, was shot off and a smoke bomb was thrown into the mix. There was one reported arrest.

Afterward, an overwhelming sense of victory hung in the air as a mass exodus of protesters made their way to Metro, bus stops, and back home. “15,000 to 30...I like those odds! But we need to keep showing up until it is 15,000 to zero,” said Ray. Chalk art of hope, love, and humanity colored the sidewalks around the park.

People clapped and cheered as they made their way through the city, away from the square. One sign in particular echoed the spirit of Charlottesville last year: “We Replaced You.” “We thought we already beat [white supremacy],” said Billoti. “But we will beat it again.”

Gun-carrying vet arrested for scraper blades “I clear the checkpoint, I’m Second Amendment friendly, I go into the store and make legal purchases,” said Miska. A police officer picked up his bag and asked to search it, he said. “I didn’t give him permission to search.

He did it anyway.”

The list of prohibited items in the city during the August 10-12 weekend included metal beverage cans, aerosol cans, and razors, but Miska said he was not charged for possessing the two cases of canned green tea and mango iced tea, nor was he charged for possessing the bug spray he purchased.

He questioned why businesses were allowed to sell the banned items and said while he was getting arrested, he saw a woman at a cafe drinking a beer out of a glass bottle, which was also a prohibited item. “They didn’t arrest her,” he said.

Miska, who is a disabled veteran, said he cut his knees and arms while police “were trying to stuff me into a paddy wagon too small for a disabled person.”

More injurious, he said, was the “hypocrisy and sheer stupidity of what they’re doing downtown.”

John Miska frequently shops on the Downtown Mall, especially when CVS has two-for-one sales on cases of Arizona iced tea. Saturday, he ran afoul of the city’s list of prohibited items after he made his purchases, and was arrested for possessing the single edge blades he bought for his ice scraper.

Miska, 64, said he was both open- and concealed-carrying handguns, which were not prohibited during the Downtown Mall’s weekend lockdown that limited pedestrian access and required a search of purses, bags, and backpacks belonging to those who wished to enter the mall.

“15,000 to 30...I like those odds! But we need to keep showing up until it is 15,000 to zero.”

August 15 – 21, 2018 c-ville.com

n estimated 15,000 protesters. Thousands of signs and flags. Hundreds of cops. All of which made their presence known from Freedom Plaza to Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., all day long on Sunday, August 12—to face down barely more than two dozen white nationalists.

Just before noon, leaders of nearly 40 anti-racist groups set their stages at Lafayette Square and Freedom Plaza, unfolding tables with water bottles and nourishment for protesters, laying out thousands of posters and other signs for usage. With the sun high overhead, some demonstrators conserved their energy and took it easy in the park and plaza, sitting in the shade and listening to speakers from Black Lives Matter, Answer Coalition, SURJ, and socialist organizations. They cheered on the voices heard through the megaphones, and hugged each other, sharing smiles and kindness.

A hundred miles away from Charlottesville, Heather Heyer’s face was seen again and again, including on Andy Billotti’s fisherman hat. He was not in Charlottesville last year, “but we were following the news closely...we had a vigil for [Heyer] the very next day,” said Billoti, who cried when he heard the news out of Charlottesville last year. “We are here to protest racism and white supremacy. I handed out several small tokens to remember [Heyer] by,” he said.

“The Nazis thought they could scare us into not coming back. But here we are,” said a Black Lives Matter leader to the crowd of a few hundred early in the day. Moments later, protesters from Freedom Plaza arrived from marching through the streets, joining forces with the Lafayette Square protesters.

Suddenly, thousands filled the barricadelined square, and quickly spilled into the streets. D.C. police blocked the ends of the road with snowplows and other vehicles.

Mounted officers approached the park. A

few dozen cops lined up along the barricade.

The show of force, however, was lacking compared to the police turnout in Charlottesville over the weekend.

Rosalie Ray, who grew up in Charlottesville, came down from New York to participate in the protests on Sunday. “I was watching all of my friends on Twitter last year get beat up—and I couldn’t not be here this year,” said Ray. “This turnout today is incredible...it was so hard seeing the streets where you grew up descend into violence. But you realize Charlottesville has been a place for violence for so many over the years. So there are good things happening now, that Charlottesville can’t hide from anymore.”

The group of two dozen marching for white civil rights, according to Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler, convened at the Vienna Metro station across the river in Virginia before making its way downtown.

Their train was secured by policemen, and stations in between Foggy Bottom and Federal Triangle were shut down throughout the afternoon.

Before disembarking, Kessler and his group were told their flag poles violated National Park Service permit rules. A video showed an angry Kessler removing the flags and group members donning them like capes. They arrived more than an hour before their allotted 5pm start time.

Dark clouds swirled overhead, boos drowned out other sounds. “Show the Nazis how we feel about them! Then come back for more presentations,” said one speaker.

Chants, shouts, and cries of “shame!” were heard throughout the afternoon. Protesters carrying Black Lives Matter flags jumped over barricades, into a garden courtyard, and police did not make any moves to stop the trespassing. Moments later, the barricades were thrown down and the area flooded with more protesters.

With thousands of protesters present, there was a tense moment in which they could have interacted with Kessler’s crew and overcome the few dozen policemen, but

He was also suspected of leaking emails and was publicly reprimanded by his fellow councilors. Vice-Mayor Heather Hill also joined the ranks in the November council election—Kristin Szakos did not run for re-election and Bob Fenwick got the boot in the June primary.

Also arrested that day was Algenon Franklin Cain, 28, of Red Springs, North Carolina, for trespassing on two separate occasions. He’s being held without bond.

Said Miska, “I was challenging the authority of the director of public safety, the governor, and the new city manager that they could abrogate my civil rights when there was no known threat. There was no Nazi demonstration, yet they turned downtown into a no-go zone. The Supreme Court says in public, a citizen has a right of free passage.”

City spokesman Brian Wheeler said, “People entering a store within the security area would have already been through an access point and been informed about the prohibited item restrictions.”

After three hours, Miska was released with a notice that he would be considered a trespasser if he appeared in the

Some heads rolled, some quietly retired, and the list of local leaders is almost unrecognizable from this time last summer.

t was an unprecedented year for the city, but also one in which we saw a major shift among people in positions of power. Some heads rolled, some quietly retired, and the list of local leaders is almost unrecognizable from this time last summer.

Charlottesville Police Chief Al Thomas abruptly resigned in December, making way for Chief RaShall Brackney, who took her oath in June. Thomas wasn’t the most popular guy in town after Tim Heaphy released his independent review of the summer of hate, which alleged that Thomas deleted texts, used a personal email to skirt FOIA, and told law enforcement when white supremacists and counterprotesters went to war in the streets to “let them fight a little,” because it would make it easier to declare an unlawful assembly.

That wasn’t the only law enforcement shake-up. After nearly 15 years as Virginia State Police superintendent, Colonel Steve Flaherty retired in December, and was succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel Gary Settle.

At the University of Virginia, Police Chief Michael Gibson also retired this summer, and new Chief Tommye Sutton was sworn in August 1, the same day as new UVA President Jim Ryan.

Ryan took the reins from Teresa Sullivan, who was highly criticized for having prior knowledge that white supremacists planned to march across Grounds last August 11, not warning students, and initially denying that she was privy to any of it. She had plans to leave before last summer, and on her way out, Ryan said he admires that she stayed focused on what really mattered to the university. “These were turbulent times and I think she demonstrated remarkable courage,” he said. Nevertheless, the Beta Bridge was decorated with the words, “Nazis love T. Sully” as she left.

The university also appointed Gloria Graham as its first-ever vice president

of safety and security after emboldened neo-Nazis in white polos and khakis encircled and beat several students with their torches.

Poor planning for the weekend of the Unite the Right rally also fell on the head of City Manager Maurice Jones, and City Council decided not to renew his contract on May 25. Jones took a job as town manager for Chapel Hill, and in came former assistant city manager Mike Murphy, who will serve in the interim—but not without a fight from Mayor Nikuyah Walker, who challenged the first person offered the job.

Walker wasn’t mayor, or even on City Council, last summer. She replaced then-

HEAD-BOBBING BEATS With so many bands filling local venues, how does one stand out? If you’re Bobblehead, the answer is to be as unique as possible. Boasting influences that range from Devo to The Beatles to Kate Bush, the band is full of surprises, finding creative ways to entertain its audience—even if that means wearing an umbrella hat during performances. The group shares the stage with the Jason Burke Band. $7-10, 8:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

Cory Wong

NO WORDS Indie group Vulfpeck might be known for its sultry vocals, but backing that falsetto are the crazy, unpredictable riffs of Cory Wong.

To better showcase his guitar skills, Wong is on a solo tour that combines his serious musical skills with his unique, off-the-wall comedy. Many of the tracks are likely to be instrumental, but the way Wong makes his guitar sing, words won’t matter. $15-20, 8:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

Stavros Halkias is a busy guy. Not only has the comedian toured his stand-up routine alongside artists like Tig Notaro and Tom Papa, he co-hosts a raunchy podcast called Cum Town, and has a scandalous Instagram account, in which the plus-size star likes to pose in as little clothing as possible. Despite the controversy that this sort of humor provokes, Halkias has said on multiple occasions that he is an advocate for body positivity, a theme that often comes through in his jokes. $15, 8:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

Ever wanted to experience Venice from the comfort of a theater seat? Canaletto & the Art of Venice makes that possible with a collection of paintings created by Giovanni Antonio Canal, the renowned city-view painter. The film gives viewers a chance to see Canaletto’s gorgeous depictions alongside vivid shots of the city, which highlight the differences that have occurred over the centuries.You’ll also have a window into the floating city that Canaletto devoted much of his life to recreating. $10.50-14.50, 7pm.

LINDA HOGAN

R&B and pop singer Nay Nichelle opens for Vibe Riot at this week’s Fridays After Five at the Sprint Pavilion.

Nay Nichelle believes that those who have the talent and the opportunity to make music are obligated to use their platform for good, and she’s troubled by artists who use good-sounding music to send a negative message. Think about it, she says: Music is everywhere. We listen to it at home, in the car, at work; it’s in commercials, on television shows, playing overhead in malls and grocery stores. The question for her is, What positive message do I want to send?

“I’ve always wanted to use my platform to bring attention to the issues at hand,” she says, and thanks to an Adele “Hello” parody gone viral (see sidebar), her platform is sizable. At publication time, her Facebook page had more than 101,000 likes, and more than 15,500 people follow her Instagram account.

And her audience keeps growing: She recently received social media props from singer Macy Gray, who liked and shared one of Nay Nichelle’s videos.

Nay Nichelle is passionate about bringing attention to issues of LGBTQ+ rights, of racial and social justice, especially where black women are concerned. “The silencing of black women is a problem,” she says, and so she’s currently working with frequent collaborator Doughman on a song to help amplify these women’s voices. She holds the megaphone not just in her music, but in her commentary, too: She often reminds and informs her social media followers that the whole conversation about Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues was started by a young black woman, local teen Zyahna Bryant.

Music is “a way of being more vocal,” of lifting people up with words and with spirit, with kindness and hope, says Nay Nichelle. And once the beat’s on and the singing’s begun, it’s not hard to get people to listen. “People love music,” she says. “Of course they’ll listen to it.”

GOING VIRAL In January 2016, Charlottesville-based singer Nay Nichelle hoped to nab tickets to Adele’s Washington, D.C., concert. But tickets sold out in a matter of minutes, and those lucky enough to get them later sold them online for hundreds, and, in some cases, thousands of dollars. Nay Nichelle decided to ask Adele herself for a favor...by writing some new lyrics to the star singer’s hit “Hello.”

“Hello, Adele, can you hear me?/ I’m in Charlottesville, Virginia, dreaming/ But I can’t pay that price/ I gotta pay for rent, gotta pay for light/ I gotta pay for WiFi,” Nay Nichelle sang in her comical plea that was also apt commentary on outrageous concert ticket prices.

“Hello from the parking lot/ I’m so glad I got a close spot/ ‘Cause I can’t see you, but I know you are here/ A hundred damn dollars/ Adele that ain’t fair.”

“Hello From the Parking Lot” went viral—the video received millions of views, millions of shares. Nay Nichelle was interviewed by a variety of entertainment websites, including BuzzFeed, about her parody, and even heard from Adele’s people. She didn’t get the concert tickets, but she did gain a bigger audience for her original music.

Four County Players, August 17-18

N

ay Nichelle likes to write outside.

There’s something inspirational about natural sunlight, she says, especially at sunrise and sunset, when the light changes quickly and just so. It’s hard to put the reason for the inspiration into words, she says, but those moments often lead to lyrics for the R&B and pop singer’s next song.

“Nature is a safe haven for me,” she says.

Like most of us, she gets caught up in technology, in social media, and all of the accompanying emotional and intellectual stresses. When she takes the time to be present in nature—in the mountains, at the beach, even taking a sunset car ride with the windows down—she’s able to listen to herself and just be.

Charlottesville’s mountain setting is still somewhat new to Nay Nichelle, who grew up in Choppee, South Carolina, and moved to Charlottesville in 2015. And while nature has only been inspiring her music for a few years, music has been a centerpiece of her life for a long time.

She regularly sang in church with her grandmother (who herself was a singer), and her mom had a solid collection of R&B, oldschool hip-hop, pop, and country CDs that they listened to in the car. Nay Nichelle often snuck into her mom’s room and rifled through the jewel cases and toted her favorites—Lauryn Hill, Shania Twain, Marc Anthony, Carlos Santana—back to her own room, where she’d listen to the music for hours.

On a friend’s recommendation, she started singing more seriously in college and eventually wrote her own lyrics to original beats.

Nay Nichelle writes most of her lyrics when she’s feeling down. It’s when she feels best able to express her genuine self, and she doesn’t sugarcoat what she’s feeling. Take, for example, “But I Made It Through,” off her 2017 release The Seeker VII. Written at Beaver Creek Park during a particularly difficult period in her life, the song captures how on that day, she very acutely felt the heavy weight of depression and the physical and emotional exhaustion that comes with carrying it around.

But there she was, writing lyrics and melodies, making it through the day.

The singer says she writes for herself and “for the next person who’s maybe going through it,” because you never know who might need the encouragement. “Dealing with depression is really hard, and you don’t want to expose it as much to people...because they don’t [always] know how to take it,” she says. But if more of us are familiar with mental illness and mental health, perhaps we’ll know how to better care for and understand those who face it.

This isn’t to say that all of her songs discuss depression—she has songs about joy, songs about love. Some, like “No War,” another track off The Seeker VII, are inspired by black history and culture.

f you saw Zach Weinersmith around town, he might not immediately stand out. His thin frame and shoulder-length red hair fits the bill for an average guy in his 30s—he wouldn’t be out of place browsing at New Dominion Bookshop or catching a show at the Jefferson.

He’s not out of place at Three Notch’d Brewery, either. Weinersmith sits comfortably at one of the restaurant’s tables and chats about his life. “It’s not very interesting,” he says at one point, a statement sure to make aspiring cartoonists scoff. Aspiring physicists too, for that matter.

If the name doesn’t ring a bell, Weinersmith is better known as the creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, a successful daily webcomic. It’s often one panel, sometimes more, with few recurring characters, and its themes are just as varied—topics range from neoclassical economism to world religions to imagining (tastefully) what Medusa’s pubic hair would look like. In short, SMBC follows the trajectory of Weinersmith’s brilliant, delightfully random mind.

So what brings him to Charlottesville?

According to Weinersmith, his wife Kelly was the main reason for the move. “We thought we should move somewhere and buy some land to build a little laboratory,” Weinersmith says, explaining that he and his

“It’s a little bit terrifying, but as a rule I try to do at least one terrifying project every year or so.” wife met in college—when Zach was a physics undergrad, and Kelly a biology grad student. He expresses their desire to pursue research “like gentlemen scientists from the 19th century, without having to deal with the tough stuff in academia.”

This tough stuff is “bureaucratic” and “very stressful,” Weinersmith says, adding that it only gets more difficult once you have kids. He and his wife have two—Ada, 4, and Ben, 1—and they romp in the background of the interview. Ben makes multiple bids for freedom throughout the interview, gleefully padding across the restaurant as Weinersmith dashes after him. “The problem is, he thinks it’s a game now,” he says after

snatching Ben for the umpteenth time.

Weinersmith feigns annoyance, but it’s clear he’s enjoying himself as much as his son.

Charlottesville “checks a lot of boxes for us,” Weinersmith says. “There’s a vibrant academic community, lots of yuppie stuff— used bookstores, coffee shops, stuff like that.

And despite all that, you can buy a little farm for not that much money.”

The original tip-off as to Weinersmith’s whereabouts was a nonfiction cartoon he published earlier this year featuring caricatured versions of him, his wife, and anonymous small business owners of the community. The strip dealt with exorbitant health care costs, and “even when it was really awful, the community came together,” Weinersmith says, calling the experience very heartening.

Politics aren’t frequently tackled in his strips, but Weinersmith is working on a project that he expects will ruffle some partisan feathers. He describes it as a nonfiction graphic novel making the case for open-border immigration. Weinersmith is mostly doing illustrations, working with an author he labels as a right-wing economist. “The thought was to reach out to a different audience than would usually hear about it,” he says. “It’s a little bit terrifying, but as a rule I try to do at least one terrifying project every year or so.”

He’s also just finished a book co-written with Kelly, titled Soonish: Ten Emerging Technologies That’ll Improve and/or Ruin Everything. It’s exactly what it sounds like, an alternately hilarious and academic nonfiction work predicting the future of concepts like gene editing and 3D printers. Weinersmith’s comics are dropped throughout the text, one-panel punchlines to lighten up intellectual (and sometimes worrying) topics.

Weinersmith is modest about the success of the bestselling book. He also brushes aside the idea that explaining complex scientific theory is hard, saying that the trick is to “remember what was difficult to understand in the first place.”

The couple has other ideas in the works, but Weinersmith won’t go into detail, saying he doesn’t like to discuss projects that are “too tenebrous.”

As the conversation winds down, Weinersmith circles back to SMBC. Though he started it in the ’90s, he doesn’t foresee ending the comic. “You get to a point where you do a thing so often, it’s almost like a daily workout,” he says. “The comic has kind of become the launch pad. I’m working on other projects that are more narrative-driven, more involved, because I can. The comic is a reliable source of income. I know my family will be taken care of, so now I can try risky, crazy things.”

And this city is the place he and his wife have chosen to take risks. “I hope I die here—but not soon,” Weinersmith says.

here’s no one way to make a factbased film, as 2018 has shown.

From the satiric heights of The Death of Stalin to the self-parodic depths of Gotti, and with many major contenders to come (Bohemian Rhapsody, Beautiful Boy, Welcome To Marwen), all have different goals, from education, to poetic re-imaginings of familiar tales, to outright entertainment.

There are far more stories to tell than there is time to tell them, but there are a few episodes from history that are ripe with potential, and are glaringly omitted from the cinematic canon. Here are two factbased films we’re desperate to see made:

ly fond of pinning military medals on themselves, there was a time when the Bolsheviks were a hardscrabble, rough-andtumble bunch, being sent into exile for organizing a strike or distributing their newspaper illegally in Tsarist Russia. There were even a few high-profile bank robberies, the most daring of which was the 1907 heist in Yerevan Square, Tiflis, Georgia (now Tbilisi) of a stagecoach carrying hundreds of thousands of rubles (millions in today’s U.S. dollars) using bombs, a man on the inside, and even codenames—Kamo (Simon Arshaki Ter-Petrosian), Koba (future dictator Joseph Stalin), to name just a few. The event was controversial, causing a rift between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, and the high death toll (up to 40 people) was seen by the public and other European parties as a bridge too far.

This one has it all: explosions, idealism versus reality, the foundations of later conflict and post-revolutionary schisms, and

39

the potential for excellent costume design.

It even has a genuine use of the “unmarked bills” cliché, as the Bolsheviks were not even able to use all of the stolen money.

Ken Loach or Michael Mann (or both) should direct. With Mann’s set piece mastery and Loach’s understanding of how politics weaves into the dramatic narrative, they’d be best as a producer-director team.

Pheidippides and Pan The origins of what became the modern marathon are a bit muddled, but filmmakers have worked with less (looking at you, Darren Aronofsky’s Noah). Ancient chroniclers give related but different accounts of this story; in Lucian’s, Pheidippides, one of Ancient Greece’s long-distance couriers (hemerodromes) who specialized in running long distances in short amounts of time, ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver news of Athenian victory, immediately collapsing dead after uttering “Joy to you, we’ve won. Joy to you.” This story was enmeshed with popular myth and the writings of Herodotus, who recounts Pheidippides running from Athens to Sparta to plead for Spartan support in the battle against Persia at Marathon. Sparta is sympathetic, but cannot act in the middle of its religious festival. Pheidippides claimed to have been visited by the god Pan on his journey, who asked why the Athenians no longer worship him. Pheidippides promised they would, and in return, Pan inflicted the Persian troops with—you guessed it—panic.

Picture it—one man on a lonely quest in the scenic countryside, with visions of what might happen if he fails, and his only companion is a messenger god.

Ang Lee is the choice for director. He’s shown the ability to understand a wide breadth of cultures, from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon to Brokeback Mountain.

And tell me you can’t see this getting the same treatment as The Life of Pi.

By Jenny Gardiner eatdrink@c-ville.com

August 18, at the Three Notch’d Brewing Company’s new Craft Kitchen & Brewery in the IX Art Park.

The largest independent Virginia-only craft beer festival in the Commonwealth is part of Virginia Craft Beer Month, and features tastings poured by award-winning brewmasters, a sours garden, music, food pairings, and more from nearly 100 Virginia craft brewers and vendors. Ticket details can be found at vacraftbrewersfest.com.

But what will we eat with our Take It Away sandwich? making for nightmarish conditions for growers from North Carolina to Virginia to New Jersey.”

Potato crops require sun and well-drained soil, so a hot and rainy summer like the one we’ve had is less than ideal for growers (and for those of us who like a side of chips with our summer sandwiches). “Because we couldn’t get potatoes, we’ve had to take off a running total of 14 days of production this summer.”

According to information released by the company, “Continued heavy rains across the

It’s hard to find anyone who isn’t sick and tired of the excessive amount of rain this summer. And now regional weather-related woes have sprouted even bigger problems, what with widespread delays in the harvesting of potatoes, according to the Mount Jackson-based Route 11 Chips.

“We’ve been making chips for 25-plus years and have never seen a season like this,” says Sarah Cohen, founder and president of Route 11 Potato Chips. “It started out too hot and dry, and then there was a nonstop deluge of rain for weeks and no sunshine,

East Coast are continuing to cause a delay in the harvest of potatoes. 2018 is the first year we’ve experienced these types of potato shortages. We took advantage of our brief window of dry days to run the maximum production we could. As you know, we cook to order so that you always get the freshest chips possible from us. Because we do not stockpile large quantities of chips, this bizarre weather has affected our inventory quickly.”

The company says there could be a oneweek delay in fulfilling some orders, and it expects to resume production at full speed as soon as potatoes become regularly available. Which would be none too soon, as a week without a bag of their fiery Mama Zuma’s Revenge habanero mash-and-barbecue chips could be tragic.

The seventh annual Virginia Craft Brewers Fest will be held from 2-8pm, Saturday,

You can tune up your bicycle and enjoy a sandwich and a beer at Peloton Station, where Curtis Shaver (below) is general manager and chef. The cycle-centric tavern and bike kitchen opens August 16 on 10th Street NW.

hat’s better than ending a long bike ride by tucking into a premium sandwich and a craft beer on tap? How about getting your flat fixed, or your bike tuned up while you relax in the comfortable setting of Peloton Station, the cycle-centric tavern and bike kitchen collaboration between Greg Vogler, Curtis Shaver, and Bill Hamilton, of the Hamilton family of restaurants.

Shaver, Peloton’s general manager and chef, avid cyclist, and part-time bike mechanic, will remain as executive chef at Hamiltons’ at First & Main restaurant, with longtime sous chef Jeremy Webb taking over as chef de cuisine, but will be leading the peloton at Peloton, which opens August 16 at 114 10th St. NW. Vogler says the cycle-centric tavern and bike kitchen seemed a natural fit with Shaver at the helm: “This is really the passion mash-up of our chef, general manager, owner, and partner Curtis Shaver: cycling, great food, and great drink.” He adds that Peloton Station, open from 11am-11pm, will feature “killer sandwiches, great craft draft beers, tallboys, and bikes.”

Popular in Europe, bike cafés are only starting to show up in the United States, and Vogler says the timing was right.

“Charlottesville’s ready for something like this,” he says. “We’re ready to fix your flat and offer you a sandwich and beer. Our hope is to be the hub of the Charlottesville cycling community—we need to earn that and we’re going to.”

With Shaver—who built up a near-cult following with his Sandwich Lab at Hamiltons’— in charge, the sandwiches should be first-rate.

“The sandwiches are going to be elevated—for instance, your classic Italian sandwich kicked up a notch,” Vogler says. “I’m really proud of the green pea kofta. It’s hard to do vegetarian sandwich and that’s a place where our chef...that’s evidence of his skills, making it so flavorful and interesting.”

The tavern also boasts seasoned Charlottesville bar scene veterans who promise to make memorable, one-of-a-kind cocktails.

Even the drinking water is elevated to a higher level at Peloton, with a water bottle fountain built into the wall for refills (just in case the place inspires you to get back on the road after your break).

LIVING ALL YOU CAN EAT

Bowled over Charlottesville eateries go all-in on the bowl trend

By Sashank Sankar eatdrink@c-ville.com

H

ow much food can you throw into a bowl? For many restaurants nowadays, it isn’t a matter of how much you can, but how much you can’t.

Food bowls have become popular in recent years, with many different places trying their hands at the trend. For most, bowl configuration is the same: Start off with a base, add some protein, mix in sauces, and add toppings.

It’s a simple (and somewhat vague) process, but the approach varies wildly from eatery to eatery, depending on the cuisine.

Most start with a rice base, although some restaurants offer a variety of greens as well.

Proteins usually come in the form of meat, tofu, or beans, and then there are veggies, all at the eater’s discretion.

The sauces/dressings and toppings are where the bowls’ individual flavor identities emerge.

You might be thinking, “If it’s just throwing things into a bowl and mixing them up, I can do it at home, right?” Well, yes and no. It takes time, creativity, and effort to experiment with getting a bowl’s flavor and texture combinations just right, and a variety of restaurants in and around Charlottesville have perfected it, each in a slightly different way.

Barracks Road Shopping Center and 101 14th St. NW If you’re looking for a sushi fix, Poke Sushi’s Hawaiian-inspired bowls come with your choice of base (rice or mixed greens), protein (a variety of fish, plus chicken and tofu), sauces, and toppings from avocado to sesame seeds.

1329 W. Main St. A popular spot for UVA students, Roots combines different ingredients to create new flavor experiences. Here, you can go with a base of grains (bulgur, rice) and/or mixed greens, with protein varying from marinated chicken to barbecue tofu. Come early though, because there’s always a line out the door and down the block. Nowhere near the Corner? Citizen Bowl Shop at 223 W. Main St. on the Downtown Mall has similar offerings at lunchtime.

Cava 1200 Emmet St. N Cava, a chain that recently opened at the intersection of Barracks Road and Emmet Street, does bowls with a Mediterranean twist. The base here consists of rice and mixed greens or, if you so desire, pita bread. Mezeh Mediterranean Grill, in The Shops at Stonefield, has a comparable vibe and menu.

theBavarianChef.com

The Juice Laundry 722 Preston Ave and 1411 University Ave. The Juice Laundry’s vegan options are a bit of a departure from the rice, protein, and greens bowls that have taken over lunch menus. Instead, you can get açai smoothie bowls, with your choice of fruit or vegetable smoothie as a base, and a variety of toppings (sliced banana, oatmeal, seeds) to go along with it. It’s a sweet yet healthy alternative. The Juice Place offers options for folks visiting the Downtown Mall, and Corner Juice, located at 1509 University Ave., satisfies students’ cravings.

The tangled reality of hairballs

By Mike Fietz, DVM living@c-ville.com

Hello, I’m Jordan—Princess Jordan to you. I spend most of the day observing from my high shelf, but will grace visitors with my presence—and my extra toes (I’m polydactyl!)—when appropriate.

Hi! I’m Sammi. I’m a pit mix who likes long walks, peanut butter-filled Kongs, and having my belly scratched.

I get jumpy when there are loud noises, but I’m just a big baby!

Salutations. I’m Izzy. Some people call me strong-minded, I just say I know what I like, which mainly involves playtime. One request: I’d like to be the only cat in your home.

Follow @cvillenews_ desk, @artscville and @eatdrinkcville to get the latest scoop on what’s going down in Charlottesville.

August 15 – 21, 2018 c-ville.com

Hey, I’m Asher. Here are three things about me: I’m pretty small (for a German Shepard mix); I’m great with kids; and I’m energetic (but not puppy-level energetic). Let’s hang!

I

’ve always been a sound sleeper. Garbage trucks? Thunderstorms? Please. But the low, glugging sound of my cat depositing a hairball three rooms away can wrest me from the deepest slumber in an instant. It’s as if that noise is wired directly to the sleep center of my brain.

Most cat owners are somewhat familiar with these grudging bouts of nocturnal carpet-cleaning. Sometimes you just find a few wisps of hair wet with bile. Other times, you recover a big furry slug, technically known as a trichobezoar (hideous regardless of what you call it). But is it true that hairballs are just a normal part of being a cat? But how much is too much? The answer is, so to speak, fuzzy.

Hairballs may be common, but that doesn’t mean they are normal. While hair is ingested as part of regular grooming, it is meant to pass straight through like everything else. If too much hair accumulates in the stomach at once, it may come back up as a hairball. But in a healthy cat, these instances should be infrequent. Serial offenders likely have a broader underlying problem.

It stands to reason that cats who consume more hair are more likely to produce hairballs, so the first thing we look for is evidence of excessive grooming. Cats may ingest too much hair while tending to fleas, allergies, or other skin conditions.

And others may overgroom as a response to psychological stress or anxiety.

If a cat isn’t swallowing too much fur, the next worry is that the gastrointestinal system is doing a poor job of handling it. Inflammatory bowel disease is a common underlying problem in cats, and frequently comes with liver or pancreatic disease in tow, requiring varying degrees of medical and dietary intervention.

Confusing things further is that unrelated conditions can be misinterpreted as hairballs. People frequently describe “coughing” and “hacking” when they suspect their cat might have a hairball, but these verbs can be ambiguous and misleading.

Hairballs are vomited, not coughed. A coughing cat is more likely to have a respiratory condition

like asthma than a hairball problem. In these cases, video of an episode can be invaluable in making sure that diagnostic efforts get started on the right track.

None of this is to say that every cat who pukes up a hairball, or even several, needs a massive medical investigation. Hairballs may be abnormal, but so long as they are infrequent, they may represent minor, transient upsets. We all have our bad days. But if a pattern starts to emerge, or if those hairballs are seen alongside other symptoms like weight loss, it may be time to consider underlying causes before they get out of hand.

The management of hairballs is not one-sizefits-all. Commercial hairball diets and supplements are intended to grease up hairballs and allow them to pass normally, but their efficacy is dubious. Brushing your cat regularly may help by reducing the amount of hair ingested during grooming, especially in long-haired cats. But when it comes down to it, the best way to manage hairballs is to discover and address the root cause.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many of us imagine medieval Europe to have been drab and dreary. But historian Jacques Le Goff tells us that the people of that age adored luminous hues: “big jewels inserted into book-bindings, glowing gold objects, brightly painted sculpture, paintings covering the walls of churches, and the colored magic of stained glass.” Maybe you’ll be inspired by this revelation, Virgo. I hope so.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you can activate sleeping wisdom and awaken dormant energy by treating your eyes to lots of vivid reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, purples, golds, blacks, coppers, and pinks.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An astrologer on Tumblr named Sebastian says this about your sign: “Libras can be boring people when they don’t trust you enough to fully reveal themselves. But they can be just as exciting as any fire sign and just as weird as any Aquarius and just as talkative as a Gemini and just as empathetic as a Pisces. Really, Librans are some of the most eccentric people you’ll ever meet, but you might not know it unless they trust you enough to take their masks off around you.” Spurred by Sebastian’s analysis, here’s my advice to you: I hope you’ll spend a lot of time with people you trust in the coming weeks, because for the sake of your mental and physical and spiritual health, you’ll need to express your full eccentricity.

Scorpio

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “Whoever does not visit Paris regularly will never really be elegant,” wrote French author Honoré de Balzac. I think that’s an exaggeration, but it does trigger a worthwhile meditation. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re in a phase of your cycle when you have maximum power to raise your appreciation of elegance, understand how it could beautify your soul, and add more of it to your repertoire. So here are your homework meditations: What does elegance mean to you? Why might it be valuable to cultivate elegance, not just to enhance your self-presentation, but also to upgrade your relationship with your deep self? (P.S.: Fashion designer Christian Dior said, “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity.”)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Since 1969, Big Bird has been a star of the kids’ TV show “Sesame Street.” He’s a tall yellow bird puppet who can talk, write poetry, dance, and roller skate.

In the early years of the show, our hero had a good friend who no one else saw or believed in: Mr. Snuffleupagus. After 17 years, there came a happy day when everyone else in the Sesame Street neighborhood realized that Snuffy was indeed real, not just a figment of Big Bird’s imagination. I’m foreseeing a comparable event in your life sometime soon, Sagittarius. You’ll finally be able to share a secret truth or private pleasure or unappreciated asset.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Activist and author Simone de Beauvoir was one of those Capricorns whose lust for life was both lush and intricate. “I am awfully greedy,” she wrote. “I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish.” Even if your longings are not always as lavish and ravenous as hers, Capricorn, you now have license to explore the mysterious state she described. I dare you to find out how voracious you can be if you grant yourself permission.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be prime time to vividly express your appreciation for and understanding of the people you care about most. I urge you to show them why you love them. Reveal the depths of your insights about their true beauty. Make it clear how their presence in your

life has had a beneficent or healing influence on you. And if you really want to get dramatic, you could take them to an inspiring outdoor spot and sing them a tender song or two.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In her book Yarn: Remembering the Way Home, Piscean knitter Kyoko Mori writes, “The folklore among knitters is that everything handmade should have at least one mistake so an evil spirit will not become trapped in the maze of perfect stitches.” The idea is that the mistake “is a crack left open to let in the light.” Mori goes on to testify about the evil spirit she wants to be free of. “It’s that little voice in my head that says, ‘I won’t even try this because it doesn’t come naturally to me and I won’t be very good at it.’” I’ve quoted Mori at length, Pisces, because I think her insights are the exact tonic you need right now.

Aries (March 21-April 19): ”The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener,” writes aphorist B. E. Barnes. That’ll be especially applicable to you in the coming weeks.

You’ll have extra potential to create and foster beauty, and any beauty you produce will generate practical benefits for you and those you care about. But for best results, you’ll have to expend more effort than maybe you thought you should. It might feel more like work than play—even though it will ultimately enhance your ability to play.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Author and theologian Thomas Merton thought that the most debilitating human temptation is to settle for too little; to live a comfortable life rather than an interesting one. I wouldn’t say that’s

always true about you, Taurus. But I do suspect that in the coming weeks, a tendency to settle for less could be the single most devitalizing temptation you’ll be susceptible to. That’s why I encourage you to resist the appeal to accept a smaller blessing or punier adventure than you deserve. Hold out for the best and brightest.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “I’ve learned quite a lot, over the years, by avoiding what I was supposed to be learning.” So says the wise and well-educated novelist Margaret Atwood.

Judging by your current astrological omens, I think this is an excellent clue for you to contemplate right now. What do you think?

Have you been half-avoiding any teaching that you or someone else thinks you’re “supposed” to be learning? If so, I suggest you avoid it even stronger. Avoid it with cheerful rebelliousness. Doing so may lead you to what you really need to learn about next.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Sometimes you make it difficult for me to reach you. You act like you’re listening but you’re not really listening. You semi-consciously decide that you don’t want to be influenced by anyone except yourself. When you lock me out like that, I become a bit dumb. My advice isn’t as good or helpful. The magic between us languishes. Please don’t do that to me now. And don’t do it to anyone who cares about you. I realize that you may need to protect yourself from people who aren’t sufficiently careful with you. But your true allies have important influences to offer, and I think you’ll be wise to open yourself to them.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A blogger who calls herself Wistful Giselle has named the phenomena that make her “believe in magic.” They include the following: “illuminated dust in the air; the moments when a seedling sprouts; the intelligence gazing back at me from a crow’s eyes; being awaken by the early morning sun; the energy of storms; old buildings overgrown with plants; the ever-changing gray-green blue moods of the sea; the shimmering moon on a cool, clear night.” I invite you to compile your own list, Scorpio. You’re entering a time when you will be the beneficiary of magic in direct proportion to how much you believe in and are alert for magic. Why not go for the maximum?

Q&A How has your perception of Charlottesville changed since August 12, 2017?

My perceptions have changed for the worse.

So much so that after five years, I packed up and moved to another state. Wes Bellamy and City Council still have their own agenda and are NOT working for or listening to the majority of the people. Hope you ask this question again after this weekend.

BRENDA NECKERMAN/FACEBOOK

That we’re even better then I thought.

Love my city...period!

BRENDA BROWNING/FACEBOOK

Less intelligent than I thought. Letting hate groups have rallies? You don’t even need to give it a second thought.

PATTY HORTON/FACEBOOK

RUPERT DIETCH/FACEBOOK

I know my perception hasn’t changed. The people who came here and caused all the mayhem are not from here. If you’re not from here, you can’t really judge.

Bill Parcells once famously said, “You are what your record says you are.” I think that is true for Charlottesville.

Sadly, the events last year are not as much of an anomaly as many would like to think.

MARVIS FERRELL/EMAIL

I still love Charlottesville. Please stay strong this weekend and keep fighting evil!

Makes me think of somebody who pokes at a copperhead and then gets pissed when they get bit.

JANE ALBRITE/FACEBOOK

@RTRJNH/TWITTER

DON BOBBITT/FACEBOOK

ERIKA JOHNSON

It’s become more evident that there’s a large disparity between how one half of Charlottesville sees itself and how the other half does. It’s not a good thing that last year happened, but I think it opened some people’s eyes to what happens in Charlottesville regardless of who comes to town. The veil was lifted.
