It’s official After taking the oath of office to become the ninth president of the University of Virginia, Jim Ryan delivered his inaugural address in front of Old Cabell Hall on Friday, October 19. Titled “Faith in the Unfinished Project,” Ryan’s speech was about his hopes and plans for UVA. “I know this project we call the University of Virginia is not finished and never will be,” he said. “I know it’s not perfect, and it never can be. But I believe in its fundamental goodness. I believe in its ability to be even better than it is now. I see the brilliance, the kindness, the decency, and the progress every day as I walk across the Grounds and spend time with the students, faculty, and staff with whom I am lucky enough to share this journey.” Ryan took office on August 1, succeeding former president Teresa Sullivan.

Bravo Ragtime I’m consistently in awe of the professionallevel quality of the all-volunteer productions at Live Arts. The currently running Ragtime [“New direction: Ragtime opens Live Arts’ season with real-life issues,” October 3] is a perfect example, with outstanding performances, a noticeably informing set, and spot-on costumes. In fact, everything about this production is first-rate, as the staging and musical numbers draw the audience into a wide range of characters and a story that is both timeless and appropriate to Charlottesville. I particularly wish to commend Ike Anderson’s direction.

By the way, more than one star will likely be born with performances of the caliber that Deandra McDonald and Jim Wynton achieve (as Sarah and Coalhouse Walker, Jr.). The nightly applause and standing ovations have been justly deserved.

—Mayor Nikuyah Walker responds to a Daily Progress op-ed on bullying at City Council meetings

Election Day is November 6 IN BRIEF

Pesticide dangers with Pete Myers

Mayor takes aim at Galvin… and Baggby’s?

As a local biologist and founder of the nonprofit Environmental Health Sciences, Pete Myers clearly knows a thing or two about environmental health. On Thursday, October 25, from 9am to noon, he’ll join three other experts at the Paramount to give us “The Real Dirt on Pesticides” (spoiler: it’s worse than you think).

If you can’t make the forum, where attendees will also learn alternative and sustainable methods of dealing with garden pests and weeds, here are three things Myers says you ought to know about the substances created to kill:

In a Facebook response to the Progress editorial on heckling at City Council meetings, Mayor Walker accused Councilor Kathy Galvin of “white (civil) rage,” and described the “tyranny” that has ruled the city under the guise of civility: “I’m cruel and oppressive and unreasonable, but I do it in a suit and tie or a dress, while I eat Baggby’s. And I don’t yell...I slyly smirk.”

1. Because of wind, drift, water runoff from pesticidesprayed fields, and the way that the sun’s heat evaporates the pesticide off the surfaces where they are sprayed, it is virtually impossible to limit their application to the pest they are being used to kill.

This harms beneficial organisms, including people.

2. Almost no square inch on the planet is without measurable amounts of pesticides, and every human has measurable levels of pesticides in them.

Big tent replaced The bad news is that construction to replace the original fabric roof of the Sprint Pavilion will cut off all pedestrian access through the venue (and the tunnel under Ninth Street) until March. The good news is that the fabric will get a new life as a “portable off-grid washing facility,” which creates a reusable and environmentally friendly way to do laundry in refugee camps, according to Pavilion manager Kirby Hutto.

 Pesticide manufacturers submit test results, not regulatory agencies, and results are often withheld from independent scrutiny with claims of confidential business interests.  The tests are carried out on the ‘active ingredient,’ the one chemical thought to do the killing. But a pesticide is a mixture with many other chemicals specifically added to the product to make it more powerful. The product as sold is never tested in the process of determining its safety.

Failing grade Community responds to the ProPublica/NYT piece on racial inequities in city schools

By Laura Longhine

The city gives all students a formal assessment for its gifted program in first grade, rather than in second like Albemarle County, because national data suggests that kids from disadvantaged backgrounds benefit from being tested sooner. Being behind “really does compound year to year,” says Christine Esposito, a gifted specialist at Johnson Elementary. “Kids who don’t feel successful in school will start to shut down.”

Esposito says she and her colleagues are always thinking about ways to make the

Dr. Rosa Atkins has led Charlottesville City Schools for nearly 13 years. During her tenure, the system has made progress on raising graduation rates and reducing suspension rates, but black students are still more than four times as likely as white students to be held back a grade and almost five times as likely to be suspended.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Lamira is currently in fifth grade at Walker Upper Elementary, and she’s in accelerated math classes, where, again, most of her classmates are white. It’s an experience that seems unchanged from when Carey herself was a student in Charlottesville’s schools.

“When I was in high school, I was in advanced classes and I was one of three black kids out of 27 kids,” she says. “And now it’s going on with my daughter. The same thing is still going on.”

Darnell Walker, who attended city schools from elementary through high school, agrees.

‘All children have gifts’

@cvillenews_desk

‘The same thing is still going on’

Indeed, the one thing almost everyone involved can agree on is that the racial achievement gap is a problem that goes beyond Charlottesville, and that no one has effectively solved it.

“What’s happening in Charlottesville is not at all unique to Charlottesville; this is a nationwide trend that schools are failing our black students,” says a city elementary school teacher who asked not to be identified by name. “My questions are, who is doing this better than us, with a similar population? What do we need to do differently?”

A 2016 Stanford University study of standardized test scores found that Charlottesville ranks with other college towns in the 10 percent of districts with the widest racial achievement gaps, but that these gaps exist nationwide. And it’s difficult to separate the school system’s problems from those of the community itself: Charlottesville is a rapidly gentrifying city with a long history of racial and economic segregation.

Grappling with that legacy, several educators say, will require some deep, long-term work, like rethinking teaching to be culturally relevant, and hiring and retaining more African American teachers.

Justin Malone, who started as principal of Jackson-Via Elementary last year and led Charlottesville High School for four years before that, says he recognizes the problems identified in the story, but that in his experience, Charlottesville City Schools are committed to trying to improve.

“Even before the events of Aug 11 and 12, it’s hard not to just ask yourself, are you doing it right, are you doing it well?” he says.

“That’s been the work.”

“I thought these issues for Black students in Charlottesville would have died a few years after I left CHS, in 2000, but I see it’s still alive, strong, and shows no signs of letting up,” he says in an email.

Like Zyahna Bryant, who was featured prominently in the ProPublica/NYT story, Walker recalls that he was one of the rare black students pushed toward gifted programs.

“I was one of those students who teachers would call ‘different,’ knowing they meant I was nothing like my Black friends,” he writes. “But I definitely was just like them.

They were all smart.”

As the article pointed out, white students make up more than 70 percent of students in QUEST (in a district that is 42 percent white).

New vacancy Downtown bookstore shuts its doors, and neighbors wonder what’s next

A

s the Hallmark greeting card and gift store morphs into a Bank of America, and the lights have gone dark over Read It Again, Sam’s shelves of used books, some are asking what types of businesses now prosper on the Downtown Mall—and who can afford to try.

Gwen Berthy, who’s been selling records at Melody Supreme on Fourth Street since 2010, ponders what may—or may not—be successful in taking Read It Again, Sam’s place.

“Not a bookstore, for sure,” he says. “I can’t imagine the rent.”

Joan Fenton, who owns the building and several shops on the Downtown Mall, declined to comment on how much she’s charging for rent, or what Dave Taylor, the bookstore’s founder, had been paying for the spot he’d occupied for more than two decades. (Taylor passed away in March, 2017). The current tenant, Dennis Kocik, who took over the store six months ago, declined to comment on his rent or why he was shuttering the 25-year-old business.

Fenton did say she’s received many calls about the space, and will make a decision about a potential, undisclosed renter this week. The storefront isn’t up for grabs until January, and in the meantime, Fenton says she’ll host her own pop-up shop during the holiday season.

The average rent on the Downtown Mall is approximately $21 per square foot, though actual rent varies widely, according to Chris Engel, the city’s director of economic development. Berthy suggests prime real estate like the former site of the used bookstore probably costs $4,000 or $5,000 a month. Since 1997, the building’s total value has increased from approximately $300,000 to nearly a million dollars.

Another downtown bookstore co-owner, Kate DeNeveu, says, “We are very fortunate that our space is very small.”

But she also declined to comment on what she’s paying to rent the space that houses her Telegraph Art & Comics,

and said she was surprised when Read It Again, Sam suddenly closed.

“I’m going to miss that place,” she says. “I don’t think you can have too many bookstores.”

DeNeveu attributes a lot of her sales of comics, posters, T-shirts, and collectibles to downtown tourists.

“Being close to the Omni is a blessing,” she says. “I am totally 100 percent pro hotel.”

Sitting at the bar at Citizen Bowl Shop, DeNeveu points through the glass in the eatery’s front door and across the mall, where construction on a tech incubator called CODE will start later this year. She says it’ll be interesting to see if the mall’s offerings change to cater to tech professionals when almost an acre of their office and accompanying retail space opens. Berthy wonders the same, and says the business mix has changed over the years to accommodate young professionals who move to Charlottesville for jobs.

Engel says a healthy downtown should have a mix of retail, residential, and office spaces. “Since we have not had any new office space delivered in the past decade, the planned projects will be a welcome addition,” he says.

Berthy’s been here long enough to know what types of businesses do best.

“Burgers. Drinks. Ice cream,” he says. And then, while simultaneously making a thumbs down and blowing a raspberry, he says, “Culture.”

Adds the man who makes his money off of music—in a spot where people often drop by and ask him for restaurant recommendations instead of buying records—“If you want to do a private business here, first you think about the bellies of people.”

And the mini Bank of America that’s inhabiting Hallmark’s old home?

“No comment,” says Berthy, “I mean, what could I say?

It’s terrible.”

Dennis Kocik, who recently took over Read It Again, Sam, declined to say why he closed the 25-year-old bookstore.

Since 1997, the Downtown Mall building’s total value has increased from approximately $300,000 to nearly a million dollars.

County settles lawsuit against five cops Benjamin Burruss sat in his car in the Comfort Inn parking lot surrounded by Albemarle police. His employer had asked police to check on him when he didn’t show up for work. Burruss told the officers he did not intend to harm himself or anyone else, and the 12-gauge shotgun in his backseat was for a hunting trip.

For two hours, police refused to let him leave, then deployed a stinger—a strip that shreds tires—under his rear wheels, threw a flash bomb, smashed his car windows, dragged him out, and took him to the hospital for a 72-hour mental health hold.

Five years after the November 21, 2013, standoff that Burruss, 61, said left him with PTSD, the county and five police officers settled his lawsuit against them for an undisclosed amount.

“Hopefully this case results in the police not using emergency custody orders to detain people who are not mentally ill, have not committed any crime, and just want to be left alone,” says Burruss in a release.

Burruss says he’d missed a few days of work at Northrop Grumman, where he held a security clearance, because he was adjusting to a new medication for depression, and he was staying at the motel on Pantops because of some marital issues.

When surrounded by what he estimated to be a dozen cops, he refused to get out of his car and said he didn’t want to talk to them and wanted to leave. Officer Garnett “Chip” Riley at one point said, “We got nothin’,” and, “I got no reason to hold him,” according to the complaint.

But rather than release him, Officer Jatana Rigsby called Burruss’ wife

and asked her to obtain an emergency custody order, alleging he was “acting irrationally,” according to court documents.

County cops Riley, Rigsby, Kanie Richardson, Robert Warfel, and Captain Pete Mainzer were defendants in Burruss’ lawsuit, along with Albemarle County. The suit was filed in federal court for unlawful seizure, false imprisonment, and battery.

In April 2016, Judge Glen Conrad gave the officers and the county qualified immunity for their actions after the emergency custody order was issued, but questioned holding Burruss for over an hour beforehand when they were aware they didn’t have probable cause to prevent him from leaving. The case had been scheduled for a four-day jury trial October 16.

Burruss was represented by the Rutherford Institute and Michael Winget-Hernan-

dez. Rutherford founder John Whitehead describes the settlement as “favorable to us but we can’t give details.”

He blames the incident on police militarization and overuse of SWAT tactics in a situation that could have been handled non-confrontationally. “Obviously the police went too far,” he says. “They smashed his window and put him in a mental health facility.”

Whitehead says he hopes the settlement says to police in future similar situations, “slow down.”

When asked about the settlement and whether it would affect future police actions in similar situations, Albemarle County spokesperson Emily Kilroy says, “The orders that were entered by the court are a dismissal as to the county and as to the individual defendants. There is no further comment.”—Lisa Provence

“Hopefully this case results in the police not using emergency custody orders to detain people who are not mentally ill, have not committed any crime, and just want to be left alone.” BENJAMIN BURRUSS

An open letter to the voters of the 5th Congressional District: Clean energy has created thousands of new, high-paying jobs in Virginia and is spurring billions of dollars of investment across rural America, including Southwest and Southside Virginia.

This is America’s future. And as an emerging clean energy hub, the opportunity is now for the 5th Congressional District.

It was encouraging to see clean energy discussed at the 5th Congressional District debate. Unfortunately, Denver Riggleman’s comments that linked climate action to job loss are just plain wrong.

The transition to a clean energy economy will address climate change AND create jobs.

For the past two years, our 5th District representation has worked against the interests of our local clean energy industry. We can’t afford another two years of the same.

It’s time to take a stand. We need action, not talk. Commitments, not excuses. It’s time to support clean energy—and our local economy.

This is about our changing climate. And it’s about creating jobs in the fastest-growing industry sector in the heart of the 5th District.

That candidate is Leslie Cockburn. We urge you to vote to support a clean energy future for the 5th Congressional District on November 6.

October 24 – 30, 2018 c-ville.com

Cutting-edge clean energy companies in the 5th District are eliminating carbon emissions through innovation. Only one candidate intends to lead the charge for clean energy jobs and protect future generations from the devastating effects of unmitigated climate change.

Leslie Cockburn and Denver Riggleman faced off at PVCC in October.

In any other year, the Republican incumbent in the 5th District would be a shoo-in. But this year, two things make the election something of a horse race: One, Congressman Tom Garrett announced in late May that he would not seek a second term, leaving an open seat without the incumbent advantage. And two, Donald Trump was elected president in 2016. Can the 5th be flipped?

LESLIE COCKBURN

Leslie Cockburn is part of a blue wave of women running for office following the election of Donald Trump as president.

AGE: 66 RESIDES: Rappahannock County OCCUPATION: Journalist, author GREW UP: Hillsborough, California EDUCATION: Yale SIGNATURE LOOK: Scarves and/or a quilted green vest

October 24 – 30, 2018 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

HOLLYWOOD CONNECTION: Daughter Olivia Wilde and her fiancé Jason Sudeikis AUTHOR OF: Dangerous Liaison: The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israeli Covert Relationship LESLIE COCKBURN WOULD not be running for Congress if Donald Trump hadn’t been elected president. After the first Women’s March, the former “60 Minutes” producer and “Frontline” correspondent switched teams from objective reporter to political candidate. Over the past 17 months of driving thousands of miles across the 5th District, she says she’s bought six new tires and replaced her brakes twice.

Cockburn came from money, and can drop names like Mick Jagger, who once dined in her Georgetown house. But she opted out of the country club lifestyle to which she was born, and documented her career as an investigative journalist in her book Looking for Trouble: One Woman, Six Wars and a Revolution. She says she

has been the breadwinner in her family, and cares about equal pay.

Cockburn says she approached running for office as a reporter: by asking questions.

“When you’re a journalist, an important part of the job is giving a voice to people who have no voice,” she says.

The number one issue she’s heard about from citizens of the 5th is health care, which affects people from the price of their insurance premiums to their ability to afford drugs to treatment for addiction and mental health issues.

Jobs are another issue for the district.

“Southside has 2,500 open jobs,” Cockburn says. “One of the big reasons they’re open is because people can’t pass drug tests.” She wants to make community college free and turn the district into a jobs-producing solar-energy capital.

And she’s amassed more than 1,500 volunteers who are going door to door, as well as a $2.4 million war chest, raising $1.1 million the last quarter—compared to Riggleman’s $695,000—with $1 million cash on hand. In her latest filing, she claims 51,963 individual donors. “I’m not taking any corporate PAC money,” she says.

Cockburn cites her mileage across the 5th as the biggest difference between her and Riggleman, who started his campaign this summer. “I have been out [to places] in this district five times, 15 times. People recognize that’s essential for them to be represented.”

“Anything Trump doesn’t like is fake news. That’s dangerous.” LESLIE COCKBURN

raditionally, the midterms are the elections for which voters don’t bother showing up.

(Our story on the last one was subtitled “What if you held an election and the voters didn’t care?”) But that political landscape has decidedly changed.

This year, citizens are practically frothing at the mouth to get to the polls. Democrats are predicting a blue wave powered by outrage at Trump and the recent confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Republicans are declaring that backlash to the Kavanaugh hearings and the fear that Democrats will impeach Trump will surge into a red swell.

And the polls…well, after 2016, no one’s going to call a close race based on polls.

Charlottesville is a blue dot in the solidly red swath of the 5th District, which runs from Southside on the North Carolina border to horse-farmy Fauquier County in northern Virginia. The district hasn’t elected a Dem since Tom Perriello won along with Barack Obama in 2008. Perriello served one term, and the district reverted to its rural red roots.

But in the wake of the highly controversial 2016 presidential election, a whole lot could change.

“Trump’s victory in 2016 basically imperiled a lot of Republicans in 2018,” says Kyle Kondik of Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, the UVA-based newsletter that rates races across the country.

The real estate developer/reality TV star’s win inspired veteran journalist and Rappahannock resident Leslie Cockburn to enter the race. She emerged victorious from somewhat bitterly fought Democratic caucuses throughout the 5th.

And Garrett’s abrupt retirement from Congress left Republicans scrambling to find a candidate. Emerging with the nomination was Denver Riggleman, a defense intelligence contractor and distiller, who made a brief stab last year at securing the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination, which fell to longtime operative Ed Gillespie.

With two political newcomers, pundits moved the race from “likely Republican” to “leans Republican.”

Among the many opposition groups spawned by Trump’s election is Indivisible, a national organization whose Charlottesville members were enraged by Garrett’s solid support of the president’s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and his unwillingness to meet with Charlottesville constituents.

“We’re working hard to flip the 5th District blue because it’s important to have a congressman who cares about the people of this district,” says Indivisible’s Dave Singerman.

He’s undeterred by the Republican-heavy district. “One of the things I learned after the 2016 election is that predictions don’t matter and polls don’t matter,” says Singerman. “Getting out there and knocking on doors is what matters.”

Cockburn has an army of more than 1,500 volunteers going door to door, and the “energy is extraordinary,” he says.

“I’m not seeing that energy with Denver,” says Singerman. ”I see big signs the campaign puts up. I see a lot of little Leslie ones in people’s yards.”

Kondik rates the race “leans Republican,” and while he won’t put odds on the chances of flipping the 5th, he says, “I’d certainly rather be a Republican than a Democrat in that district.” The district, which was redrawn after the 2010 census, has been altered to be a little more Republican than when Perriello won it in ‘08, he says.

Kondik has heard of polling on the Republican side that shows “Riggleman up by a little.”

Some forecasters, such as Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight, like the Democrats’ chance in the 5th and are calling it a toss-up.

DENVER RIGGLEMAN AGE: 48 RESIDES: Afton OCCUPATION: Defense contractor/ distiller GREW UP: Manassas EDUCATION: B.A., University of Virginia; master’s certificate in program management, Villanova NICKNAME: The Silverback AUTHOR OF: Bigfoot Exterminators Inc. The Partially Cautionary, Mostly True Tale of Monster Hunt 2006 (34 pages, self-published), The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him (we think this is a joke) DENVER RIGGLEMAN MADE his first, short-lived run for office last year, after butting up against the liquor industry and ABC regulations that impacted his Silverback Distillery, and Dominion’s plan to take his land in Nelson County for the controversial Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

“A lobbyist told me, ‘If you’re not at the dinner table, you’re on the menu.’” he said at an October 8 debate at Piedmont Virginia Community College.

Although his 2017 “Whiskey Rebellion” didn’t raise enough money to secure the Republican nomination for governor, Riggleman became the GOP’s 5th District standard bearer less than a week after Congressman Tom Garrett’s Memorial Day announcement that he would not seek reelection.

Riggleman comes from a modest background and said at the debate that he’d been on food stamps a couple of times. He told the Washington Post he was “a bit of a loser,” until his wife Christine became pregnant,

23

which motivated him to join the U.S. Air Force and get a degree from UVA. After leaving the military in 2003, Riggleman co-founded a defense contracting company, Analyst Warehouse LLC, which InDyne acquired in 2012. In 2014, he and Christine opened Silverback Distillery in Nelson County, and last year, they opened a facility in Pennsylvania because of that state’s friendlier liquor laws.

Riggleman stresses that he’s not a politician, and he endorses libertarian themes of minimal government intrusion into property rights and business. He also touts his military intelligence background.

Riggleman supports Trump, but he says he doesn’t agree with the president on everything, in particular the raised debt ceiling. “If you’re going to do economic stimulus through tax cuts, you have to make sure spending is down also,” he says.

He’s pledged to join the Freedom Caucus,

“Tax cuts do not create deficits. Spending does.”

DENVER RIGGLEMAN the most conservative gang in the House, because he likes its fiscal policies, but he also says he differs with the group on the social issue side, and as “an independent-thinking guy” he won’t be in lockstep with it.

The biggest difference between Cockburn and him? “I believe individuals should control their lives,” he says. “My opponent believes the government should have a bigger role than I would ever agree with. That’s the fundamental difference.”

“Democrats have run some serious campaigns in this district,” says Kondik, but he notes that former Albemarle supervisor Jane Dittmar lost in 2016 by 16 points, in a state that Hillary Clinton won by 5 points.

In statewide elections, Virginia has elected Democrats since 2012. But that doesn’t hold true for the 5th, which Trump carried by 11 points in 2016. Last year, Dem Ralph Northam won the governor’s race by 9 points statewide—but lost in the 5th by 9 points to Republican Gillespie.

The U.S. Senate race pitting popular former governor and incumbent Democratic Senator Tim Kaine against Confederate flagloving Republican Corey Stewart could be a factor in the congressional races, Kondik says.

“Stewart could lose in a landslide statewide and drag down others,” says Kondik, who predicts that Kaine will win the state by 15 points, likely carrying the 5th.

He puts the 5th No. 4 in a list of flippable Republican-held congressional districts, with Barbara Comstock No. 1 in the 10th, followed

by Dave Brat in the 7th and Scott Taylor in the 2nd. In Northern Virginia, where Trump is wildly unpopular, “Comstock is in trouble.”

But the other competitive districts in the state “are not as Republican as the 5th.”

Both parties have congressional committees that fund House of Representative races, and the 5th “is not a district that comes up in those conversations,” says Kondik.

“Parties become aware of close races and decide to come in at the last minute.”

Cockburn announced October 17 that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had added her race to its Red to Blue list.

Female rage fueled by the #MeToo movement and the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination could be a factor in the race, particularly among college-educated, affluent women living in the suburbs, such as Comstock’s 10th District, says Kondick. The 5th “is not like that. It’s not an affluent, educated district as a whole.”

Melvin Adams, 5th District Republican Committee chair, thinks the Kavanaugh

nomination will “absolutely” be a factor in getting out the vote—the GOP vote. “It’s not just about men,” he says. “Republican women are upset about this. They think it was a sham.”

Adams says Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of assault when they were in high school, was a victim abused in the process. “She wanted privacy. She was dragged out like a little rag doll and used.”

And although Trump is not on the ballot, “He’s on the ticket,” says Adams. “That’s going to motivate a lot of people on both sides.”

As to whether the 5th will flip on Election Day in November, Adams says, “I can’t answer that until the 7th. I do believe the district by and large is more conservative than Leslie Cockburn.”

And according to Adams, “A lot of polls have taken this race out of the watch list.”

Others didn’t poll it at all. Quentin Kidd, director of Christopher Newport University’s Wason Center for Public Policy, says, “We didn’t do it because we didn’t think it would be competitive.”

Kidd notes that there hasn’t been a lot of outside money going into the race, like there has been in the 10th District. He has a hard time seeing a Dem upset. The district is drawn as very conservative, he says. “There are not enough Democrats in the 5th to overcome the numbers.”

“But in the back of my head,” he adds, “that’s what everyone was saying about Tom Perriello.”

The last Democrat to win the 5th is more optimistic. “I think [Cockburn] has a great chance to win,” says Perriello, citing her strong grassroots organization and her emphasis on issues that are important to Virginians, such as health care. “Open seats are a lot easier to pick up than those with incumbents.”

Comparing this race to his win in 2008, Perriello says, “Ten years is a century in politics.” Then, there was a lot of energy coming from the candidacy of Barack Obama and his message of hope, he says.

“There is a very different energy from ‘08,” he says. “People are appalled by the corruption they’re seeing from the top down.” There’s a motivation to check “this era of fear.”

Perriello offers a different perspective on how Republicans in the district will cast their votes this round. “I don’t think Trump would carry this district today,” he says. “I think they liked him as an outsider.” Now, he says, “I can’t tell you how often I meet people who voted for Trump who are deeply disappointed, while he’s cutting deals to benefit his family.”

He adds, “A lot of independent voters who were intrigued by Trump feel betrayed by Trump.”

Perriello challenges the notion that Cockburn is too far left for the 5th, and says the “spectrum of right, left, and center have become impossible to decipher.” Wanting affordable health care isn’t any less popular on the right than it is on the left, maintains Perriello.

Trump, he says, is “more extreme than anyone we’ve seen in the Republican party,” and has decimated traditional Republican values, such as fiscal responsibility, with his tax cuts that have ballooned the federal deficit while benefiting the rich, not his working-class base. “He’s only consistent on issues of racial divisiveness.”

Perriello, who notes he was never ahead in the polls, offers this for the 5th: “There’s only one poll that matters, and that’s the one on Election Day.”

TUNES Bottle It In (Matador) Caveat: I was a big fan of Kurt Vile’s 2013 album Wakin on a Pretty Daze until I went to his show and watched him basically perform the album became plain boring, and it’s been hard to hear his subsequent stuff without lingering bitterness. Despite enjoyable moments, like the sun-dappled “Rollin With the Flow,” Bottle It In doesn’t make amends over the course of nearly 80 slack-ass minutes. Vile still sounds like the class clown who smiles at the teacher and gets away with it;

T

he story of “Hansel and Gretel” is a familiar one: the hungry children of a poor woodcutter are lost in the woods when they stumble upon a house made of gingerbread and sweets, enticing to their eyes and empty bellies.

The house belongs to a witch who lures the children inside and captures them, intending to fatten them up so she can roast and eat them later. But Hansel and Gretel outwit the witch (who perishes in her own fiery oven), and the children stuff their pockets with the witch’s jewels and treasure before finding their way home.

Like most folklore and fairy tales, “Hansel and Gretel” has been adapted many times, in many languages, each version differing slightly from the next. This week at Light House Studio, the Charlottesville-based Victory Hall Opera adapts Engelbert Humperdinck’s 1893 opera Hänsel und Gretel into an experimental version of the story, one that considers modern anxieties about the self and the other, about innocence lost and awareness found.

Inspired by the Halloween zeitgeist that captures imaginations at this time of year, VHO wanted to stage an opera with “genuinely scary material” for its fall production, says VHO artistic director Miriam Gordon-Stewart. Hänsel und Gretel was one choice. Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Medium is another.

Written and set in the wake of World War II, The Medium is a two-act tragic opera about a fraudulent psychic (Baba) who ropes her daughter (Monica) and a mute servant (Toby) into leading grieving clients through fake séances. During one séance, Baba has an experience she cannot explain; it terrifies her and drives her mad.

Gordon-Stewart and Brenda Patterson, VHO director of music, noticed similarities between the two operas: Both are fairy tales with a boy and a girl as lead characters. “A fairy tale has never really been about ghosts or witches. It’s always been about the ‘other,’” says Gordon-Stewart. Another point of convergence: Both could be set in the woods—in our woods.

Gordon-Stewart and Patterson weave strands of each opera together into a single production called The Forgotten, drawing the first part from Hänsel und Gretel and the second from The Medium. The actors who sing Hansel and Gretel (Patterson, a mezzo-soprano, and Nancy Allen Lundy, a soprano based in New York state) also sing Toby and Monica, respectively, and other actors double up on roles as well.

In The Forgotten, Hansel and Gretel are overprotected, privileged, smartphone-obsessed private school kids living in a luxury housing development on the outskirts of

Victory Hall Opera’s The Forgotten merges two scary operas into a modern fairy tale of cultural exploration.

“I think we’re all aware of the fact that Charlottesville is a bubble within a very different culture...and I think there are a lot of fears, from both sides of the border, about that.”

MIRIAM GORDON-STEWART

Charlottesville. When they’re sent into the nearby woods, it’s the first time they’re out of their highly-controlled environment: They are “completely mystified” by being in nature and being unsupervised, says Gordon-Stewart.

In the production, the woods serves as a meeting place for two seemingly disparate worlds. The idea is that if you walk through the woods of Charlottesville, you might end up in the county, and possibly meet someone who has a very different experience of living in Virginia, says Gordon-Stewart. “I think we’re all aware of the fact that Charlottesville is a bubble within a very different culture... and I think there are a lot of fears, from both sides of the border, about that,” she says.

Lundy, who sings Gretel and Monica, appreciates the “very, very creative” approach VHO has taken in exploring this theme that has both immediate and global implications.

She relishes the depth the narrative gives to her characters, particularly Monica, who,

Lundy says can come off as “trite, girly, and silly.” In The Forgotten, Lundy feels Monica’s devastating arias so deeply she says she barely has to do any acting.

VHO has also incorporated elements of the Charlottesville area’s own (and true) fraudulent psychic story into The Forgotten. For a while, Sandra Stevenson Marks claimed to be a psychic and offered “Readings by Catherine,” including palm, tarot, astrological, and spiritual readings, from a rented house on Route 29. She knowingly stole more than $2 million from five people, pleaded guilty to the charges brought against her, and in November 2016 was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Gordon-Stewart wanted to add a bit of “genuine magic” and a truly supernatural atmosphere to The Forgotten, and so VHO asked Light House Studio filmmakers—who are about the same age as the Hansel, Gretel, Monica, and Toby characters—to create films about the woods that are part of the production, along with the score from the live chamber orchestra.

Just as The Forgotten explores fears of difference, the unfamiliar and the unknown, so does VHO. The company does not deliver expected opera performances, says Gordon-Stewart, and that’s the point. “In order for audiences to really engage, to really genuinely feel something in the theater, they have to be disarmed,” she says. “They have to experience something unexpected, and if I’m giving them what they expect, then there is part of them that is not awake.”

hen local author and teacher Jocelyn Johnson started receiving Twitter direct messages from literary giant Roxane Gay, she thought to herself, “Something good is going to happen.” Just like that, a series of emphatic pings announced her arrival into a rarefied sphere: Johnson’s story, “Control Negro,” was hand-selected by Gay to be featured in Best American Short Stories 2018. The collection, which is compiled and introduced by a different guest editor annually, celebrates the year’s best work within the form. Only 20 pieces are deemed worthy of inclusion, and Johnson describes the accolade as being simultaneously thrilling and surreal. For many, acceptance into the anthology is commensurate with reaching a career peak—an artistic endpoint. Johnson has a different mentality: It only goes up from here.

Gay had praised Johnson’s work to her half-a-million Twitter followers in August 2017 (“‘Control Negro,’ in Guernica, is one hell of a short story.”), so the minute Johnson learned Gay was assembling the anthology, she jumped to submit the piece. A few months and a stuffed inbox later, Johnson would finally be able to answer “yes” to her parents’ most persistent question: “Can we get [your work] in a Barnes & Noble?” She is now folded into the pages of an industry standard, a text she had personally devoured “for years and years.”

Just as Johnson has always been an avid reader, she has always pressed her pen to paper. There has never been a time when she wasn’t an artist—a multimedia envisionist with a penchant for producing drawings and manuscripts alike. When she was still teenager, Johnson set to work on her first novel, typing pages on the keyboard of her IBM personal computer after devouring The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.

Johnson teaches visual arts in Charlottesville public schools, which grants her life-inspired fodder for her writing. Being a fulltime art instructor and mother means her craft truly hinges on self-discipline; she carves drafting sessions out of summer months and rare pockets of weekend quiet.

Johnson studied art and education at James Madison University, but a year of international exploration with her husband, and the creation of a related blog, allowed her to envision writing as a viable complement to her teaching career. She credits travel with reframing her artistic brain because it affects writing and how you “interact with things when you’re taken out of place.”

Johnson’s writing does just that: It grasps the reader and jostles her into a separate reality—often, the reality of a person whose voice is traditionally and systematically repressed. She opts to embody the brains of

characters harboring “troublesome” minddesire to establish a new American truth has sets, as in the protagonist of “Control Necontributed to her rise in the writing world. gro,” an elusive black father and scholar who Johnson credits her work on August 11 and scrutinizes his unknowing son from afar 12, 2017, including her article in C-VILLE, and uses him as a pawn in a race-based sowith helping propel her career. Those essays, like her short stories, responded to questions cial experiment.

Such an exercise, Johnson says, affirms sweeping the nation: “Who are we, and how the “power of fiction,” drawing on the writdo we want to respond to things that we may disagree with strongly? How do we feel like er’s and reader’s ability to align herself with we have power and agency?” an alternate perspective and see the world In the next phase of her career, Johnson through someone else’s eyes.

This is precisely what Gay means in the anplans to complete her first collection, Virthology introduction when she says, “I am not ginia Is Not Your Home, and continue grapavoiding reality when I read fiction; I am pling with socially relevant themes. She finds strengthening my ability to cope with reality.” an artistic identity in braiding together a Johnson’s fiction employs moment’s lingering strings real and universal themes, —in “making something that’s bigger than [herself]” through such as surging water as a writing. metaphor for swelling life pressures. But, each piece she Johnson considers her craft writes also offers its own set a rich gift, an opportunity to of truths—ideas that put seek out the spaces and faces in strain on the lopsided, maher community that are roujority-favoring realties many tinely ignored and home in on their truths.

e’ve had Halloween sequels for decades. What’s different this time? The same thing that’s different in found footage, possession movies, even the Amityville franchise: fresh blood, literally and figuratively. For many of the slasher sequels and remakes of the ’80s and ’90s, it was difficult to tell what the filmmaker disliked more, the audience or horror movies themselves. Some mainstays are campy fun and October traditions. (Freddy and Jason will always be a welcome sight), but the reflexive greenlighting of all horror sequels has led to great characters and premises being stretched beyond their appeal. This also killed the fun of the half-ironic, selfaware crop of films that followed Scream.

Few icons have had their legacies sullied as much as Michael Myers, the silent, hulking force of nature who first squared off with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in 1978. His featureless mask, plain clothes, and unknowable motives made him terrifying. His movements were slow but portentous, with the inevitability of an approaching glacier; any safety you feel is an illusion. Laurie, as depicted by Curtis, was an effective audience surrogate, but more than that we watched her discover a will to survive she did not know she had.

And then there are the sequels; turns out Myers is Laurie’s brother; he’s a reincarnated Druid something or other; then a wounded little boy in the misguided Rob Zombie remakes. These explanations make the monster both less scary and less interesting. Backstories like these are not useful for a character as menacing as Myers. Thinking about his origin is like watching an oncoming tsunami when you should be fucking running.

Enter David Gordon Green, once heir to Terrence Malick’s throne (see George Washington, All the Real Girls), who began making stoner comedies (Pineapple Express, Your Highness) before splitting the difference in recent years (Prince Avalanche, Manglehorn).

In other words, not the first person you’d expect to pivot into slasher territory.

With co-writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley, he is very much on a mission to rehabilitate this series while undoing the

wrongs of the past. The focus here is on the legacy of tragedy from generation to generation, as well as the danger of mythologizing that which does not operate by human understanding. Laurie, now living in near isolation, has been estranged from her family after subjecting her daughter (Judy Greer) to a lifetime of survivalist preparation viewed as abuse. Her granddaughter (Andi Matichak) makes efforts to involve Laurie in their life, but it is apparent that she is not free of the trauma from 40 years ago. Meanwhile, a pair of podcasters from the UK set off a chain of events that unleashes Myers on an unsuspecting and unprepared public.

Some may find the irony and self-awareness of the first half off-putting, but Green’s theme of understanding the past has an eye toward undoing the damage done by the awful sequels (which are totally ignored). Green captures some of John Carpenter’s magic in depicting the power Myers has over any space he occupies. Curtis is also in top form, and even if you have no investment in the franchise, she is the reason to see this.

IF YOU GO

potatoes poured off the end of a conveyor belt into a steamy vat of hot oil where a snakelike stirring rod trundled back and forth. Inspectors waved at the kids through the window as they plucked out less-thanperfect chips, to be fed, we were told, to local cows.

Upstairs, a fascinating machine portions out the chips just before they plunge through a tube (like something out of a Roald Dahl story), into an even more fascinating machine that folded, filled, and sealed the bags. Personally, I could have watched this all day—there was something so alluringly behindthe-scenes about seeing, for the first time in my life, how a chip bag is engineered.

The kids were impressed, too, but they didn’t forget to make frequent visits to the sample table offering a rainbow of flavors. We bought everybody a small bag of their choice, plus a big clear plastic bag of uber-fresh sweet potato chips.

On the way out, my friend picked up a brochure for nearby Shenandoah Caverns and read me a description of one of the caverns’ ancillary attractions: American Celebration, a museum of parade floats.

We agreed that it sounded like fun, and then five minutes later we stumbled across that very museum on our way back to the highway.

Sadly, the museum’s closed for the season, but they’re hosting a haunted house through Halloween. And a friendly employee invited us to check out the Yellow Barn event venue across the road, which houses some antique farm equipment and a working beehive. We opted to sprawl on the manicured lawn instead, gazing at a replica of the Statue of Liberty, while the kids played sardines. Sometimes, it’s those unscheduled, unofficial moments that turn out to be the best parts of a trip. And now we have a few reasons to go back.

October 24 – 30, 2018 c-ville.com

elieve it or not, there are some things Charlottesville still doesn’t have, which is a great reason to get out of town now and then. Another great reason is that many towns within striking distance of Charlottesville are attractive and thriving.

When a friend and I, with our combined five kids, pulled into Harrisonburg on a recent afternoon, we both appreciated having a city within easy reach that clearly offers its own distinct world to explore.

Then again, we knew exactly where we were headed. That would be Ruby’s Arcade, which I discovered with my two girls on a rainy day about a year ago.

Tucked into downtown Harrisonburg, it’s a combination restaurant and game room that, at least on weekday afternoons, is deliciously family-friendly. (I suspect that, with its full bar and happy hour specials, it caters to a different crowd in the evening.)

But what a great concept! In we walked and within five minutes, we were embarking on a group game of duckpin bowling, played on an antique apparatus salvaged from an unknown 1950s establishment somewhere in America. The kids worked on refining their granny-stance technique—and, I must say, improved with every frame—while my friend and I pondered Ruby’s large menu.

Soon, the small table at the head of our lane was somehow managing to hold two pizzas, mac ’n’ cheese, chips, fries, and cups and plates for seven people. We munched and bowled against a backdrop of nicely muraled walls. Between turns, the kids explored the variety of games that fill the sprawling space beneath the arcade’s low ceiling.

Air hockey proved popular. There are pool tables, plus darts, shuffleboard, foosball, a small selection of video games, and a big selection of board games.

Last but not least is ping pong, in which my friend and I soon became so happily engaged that the kids had to drag us out of the arcade. The best part: All the games were free. Ruby’s doesn’t make this super clear on its website, but on a mellow weekday, you pay only for food.

We piled back in the van. Next stop: the Route 11 Potato Chips factory, a few miles up Interstate 81.

We hadn’t been here before and weren’t prepared for the enticing smell that hit our noses as soon as we stepped out of the car. Inside the large tasting room, we learned that this particular day at the factory was devoted to producing sweet potato chips. Mmmm.

You can’t actually enter the production area, but you can get a darn good look at how the chips are made by gazing through large interior windows. An employee gave us a brief intro to what we were seeing and spouted off a few impressive figures, including the 14,000 pounds of potatoes that the factory can process in a day.

A fraction of those were, as we watched, undergoing a rapid transformation from peeled raw spuds to freshly bagged chips, all packaged up in boxes. Sliced

Upscale Casual

A taste of Little Havana comes to Cville

By Jenny Gardiner living@c-ville.com

P

roper Cuban food has been in short supply in the Charlottesville area, but that’s about to change when Guajiros Miami Eatery opens its doors in the next few weeks.

The restaurant is the brainchild of Miami transplant Harvey Mayorga, who, with his brother, Danilo, plans to bring a bit of Little Havana to the city, on Seminole Trail in the Woodbrook Shopping Center.

Mayorga said he and his wife, who came here to work at UVA about a year and a half ago, quickly noticed the paucity of Latin American food other than tacos or pupusas.

“We saw that there was a need for something different,” he says. After seeing the available space, Mayorga reached out to his brother, a restaurateur in Miami.

Mayorga says they’ll be serving their favorite Cuban food, with a bit of Miami/ Cuban flair.

“There is a culture of ‘cafecito’ in Miami, where everyone on their commute stops at a ventana, or window, gets a Cuban toast, a croquette, and some café con leche before heading to work,” he says. “It’s a social event, even if it is for five or 10 minutes. We want to offer that.”

The brothers plan to start with breakfast and lunch service. Menu features will include breakfast sandwiches on Cuban bread, medialunas (crescent rolls), and a Cuban sandwich, as well as espresso, lattes, and café con leche. Mayorga said he hopes to introduce the Cuban colada (a multi-shot cup of sweet Cuban coffee) here as well. While they don’t yet have a liquor license, the plan is to eventually feature classic rum-based and Cuban cocktails with all-natural ingredients, including mojitos, daiquiris, el presidente cocktails, and rum old fashioneds.

What’s old is new again

“There is a culture of ‘cafecito’ in Miami, where everyone on their commute stops at a ventana, or window, gets a Cuban toast, a croquette, and some café con leche before heading to work.”

HARVEY MAYORGA

Hanning says. “We’re redesigning that to put in a hydroponic garden from Babylon Farms. We’ll be the only ones in North America to have self-sustained hydroponic gardens, where we’ll be producing our own leafy greens for the Mill Room.”

Executive chef Dale Ford is working on a new menu for the four-diamond restaurant, and conjuring up expansive plans for the hydroponic garden, all while tending to 20,000 honey bees up the hill from the Trout House. You can be sure that hyperlocal honey will be harvested and incorporated into the new menu.

Mourning a food community leader A longtime philanthropic mainstay in the Charlottesville food community passed away suddenly last week.

Lisa Reeder, food and farm access coordinator for the Local Food HUB, had

devoted nearly 20 years to working with and around food in central Virginia, the organization said. The Local Food HUB is a nonprofit organization that partners with Virginia farmers to increase community access to area food, and provides support services, infrastructure, and market opportunities that connect people with food grown close to home. The organization said Reeder had spearheaded its Fresh Farmacy program and oversaw a number of other community programs and partnerships.

In a statement, the Food HUB said Reeder was “passionate about all things food and agriculture, and found many ways to channel that passion into action.”

“She understood the challenges of farming, and worked to bring needed resources to our partner farms,” the statement continued. “She made a mean BLT sandwich, and her contributions to staff potluck meals were unmatched. Even in the face of challenging health issues, her upbeat spirit and dedication to her friends, family, and work never wavered. Lisa will be greatly, greatly missed, but we will carry her example and her legacy with us with every step we take toward a healthier, more equitable food system.”

Feast! co-owner Kate Collier says Reeder’s loss will be felt far and wide.

“She’s always so strong, positive, and in the moment, helping others, putting friends first, feeding those who need it most, and spreading her beauty and light all around,” Collier says. “She was one of this community’s great women in food.”

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Renovations are moving forward at the Boar’s Head’s Old Mill Room, which will reopen in January as the Mill Room.

“Walking in [to the new restaurant] will be very visually different,” says Joe Hanning, marketing and communications manager for the Boar’s Head. “It will still have the historic wooden beams and the same ambiance, but we’re opening it up to bring natural light in. All three seating areas will be combined as one and will be all brand new.”

And with the changes to the restaurant come some innovations that will put a 21stcentury twist on the historic Trout House building behind the Mill Room.

“This was an historic shelter where long ago people would pick the trout they wanted for dinner—literally farm to table,”

Danilo and Harvey Mayorga are bringing Cuban food—and some Miami/Cuban flair—to Charlottesville with their Guajiros Miami Eatery, which will open soon on Seminole Trail in the Woodbrook Shopping Center.

A second look For a historic tavern, another life on a hilltop

By Erika Howsare living@c-ville.com

I

n a part of the Shenandoah Valley where history is prized especially deeply, just outside the village of Brownsburg, a relocated log cabin called Briar Hill is full of a special sense of the past. It embodies its own history dating back to the turn of the 18th century, when it was originally built on a different site nearby. And for current owner Dave Perry-Miller, it harkens to his past as a student at Washington & Lee. “I took an American architecture class,” he recalls, “and I did my architectural paper on Brownsburg in 1977.” He didn’t forget the little village, either: “For years I would fly from Dallas to visit my parents in Lexington, and it was a rare instance when that I didn’t drive out to Brownsburg to go by some of the houses where I’d interviewed the owners.

I always harbored the hope that I would be able to go back to that part of Virginia.”

After retiring from a real estate career in Dallas, Perry-Miller bought a notable home in Staunton called Waverley Hill in 2013 and soon embarked on its renovation. When he realized that house would be unlivable for

more than a year during the work, he looked around for a place to fill the gap.

“I thought, ‘I’m just going to have to get an apartment in town,’” he recalls— but Perry-Miller, the owner of five homes in three different states, isn’t really a renting kind of person. He soon decided to purchase Briar Hill, which had been relocated and renovated under the direction of architect Bethany Puopolo back in the mid-1990s.

Perry-Miller was drawn to the view from this hilltop—a panorama of the Valley and Jump Mountain—and, in fact, had been gazing at it already for years in the form of a painting he’d purchased years before, likely painted from a neighboring hilltop. “It was in my library in Dallas for all those years,” he says. “I can’t believe it: I was looking at the view from my house.”

Fine details Puopolo took on the project after she was approached by Lois Key, a local resident who had noticed a Rockbridge County cabin falling into disrepair and convinced its owners to sell it. From the beginning, Puopolo was

struck by Key’s commitment to the historic nature of the structure, probably a onetime tavern.

“She salvaged as much material as she could,” says Puopolo. “And she wanted it to stay in the same county; she didn’t want it to go out of the home area.”

Puopolo’s role was not only to help coordinate the dismantling and rebuilding of the cabin, but to design a kitchen addition that would modernize it—but not too much. “I teased Lois, she was such a romantic—the cabin had one bedroom and three fireplaces,” she remembers. Key was willing to access the basement from an outdoor entry and

live with other less-than-convenient features, for the sake of preserving the cabin’s character.

While the new kitchen would be a very important living space, Puopolo didn’t want it to overshadow the original cabin. “I wanted to let the main volume be dominant,” says Puopolo, so instead of building the addition directly against the house, she designed a small connector or “hyphen” space, containing a mudroom, between the two. A wraparound porch helps to knit the two volumes together.

The details made the project. “This wasn’t a really crude log cabin,” Puopolo says.

“Someone who had some skills had created it initially. You look at the mantel in the old part and it’s a pretty nice mantel.” She matched detailing on the beaded beams and chamfered posts, and tried not to alter anything unnecessarily as she found ways to fit closets and a bathroom into a structure from a very different era.

The kitchen design, with custom cabinets

by Jaeger & Ernst, local soapstone sink, and salvaged wormy chestnut countertops, is “unfitted”—meant to look like a collection

LIVING HOME of furniture pieces rather than a uniform run of cabinetry. Continuous with the cook space is a cozy sitting room with a stone fireplace and one contemporary touch: French doors to the porch.

Inherent simplicity For Perry-Miller, the cabin was largely perfect as he found it. He’s made a few minor changes, enlisting Glenn Wilson, the same builder who’d worked with Key and Puopolo years ago, to shore up stonework and enlarge the writer’s studio (a separate building). Craftsman Matt Johnson also built entry gates on the driveway, using traditional techniques with no nails or screws.

“What people respond to in contemporary houses is the openness and bareness of the lines,” says Perry-Miller. “The log cabin

has that, except it’s made out of chestnut logs. The simplicity is inherent in that property, and yet in the framework of a beautiful, old structure. I think [Puopolo] was masterful in keeping things very simple.”

He appreciates, too, the history of the 86-acre property, which for many years housed a summer camp called Briar Hill that drew boys from Richmond and Charlottesville. The site of the house, he’s learned, was the former location of the camp’s tennis courts—one of the only flat places on the acreage. Elsewhere, a chimney marks the ruins of the onetime dining hall.

“There is something about that hillside that has a certain amount of magic,” he says. “Everybody involved has put in a little piece of their heart and soul, and you can feel that.”

Autumn lawn care tips for keeping our waterways healthy.

October 24 – 30, 2018 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Don’t over-fertilize your lawn Fall is

the best time to apply fertilizer. Apply fertilizer based on a soil test. Excess nutrients from fertilizer pollute water when they are carried by rain runoff into storm drains and local waterways.

Don’t rake leaves into storm drains or streams Compost or bag

dead leaves. When leaves are washed into streams they decompose and degrade water quality.

Don’t dispose of grass clippings down the storm drain Leave them on your

lawn as fertilizer when you mow. Like decomposing leaves, grass clippings degrade water quality.

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel Northanger Abbey, and now I’m passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, “If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad.” And where exactly is “abroad”? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country, or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I’d like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world.

Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): PR executives at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope. They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance.

But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite. You should not in fact be lounging around in a haze of intoxication.

You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause. Very Important People will be more available to you than usual, and you’ll be wise to seek their input. Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser, Networker of the Year, Chief Hobnobber.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What kind of idea are you?” asks author Salman Rushdie. “Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrodbacked type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?” I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks. If you’re the latter—the cussed, damnfool notion—you may change your world in dramatic ways. Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary, crusader, agitator, rabble-rouser.

(Feb. 19-March 20): “There is no beauty without some strangeness,” wrote Edgar Allan Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “He believed in magic,” writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams, and bat wings,” nor “dowsing rods, séances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.” Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,” like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful. What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard. further, declaring, “Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.” She also added another nuance to her definition: “For something to be beautiful, it doesn’t have to be pretty.”

I’ll offer you one more seed for thought: wabisabi. It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty—and recommit yourself to embodying it.

Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.

Aries (March 21-April 19): In her poem “Shedding Skin,” Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin—old rough thing I don’t need now—I strip off, slip out of, leave behind. Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vulnerable stuff. And I’m blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): ”Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects.

I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for

you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey wrench. That’ll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person, computer techie, machine whisperer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. “Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice. Halloween costume suggestion: walk your demon on a leash, or make it into a puppet, or harness it to your chariot.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you

paint the walls? Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture, and décor? As you gaze out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hot spots? Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look,” writes novelist Jodi Picoult. That’s crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming.”

Author Shauna Niequist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her perspective as true and useful for you. You’ve zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you’ll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg, strong sprout cracking out of a seed.

Q&A Why don’t people vote?

Cynicism.

JEREMY SHARP/FACEBOOK

Most people are lazy and a lot of candidates are not inspiring.

Because politics suck. @WINGPEA_/TWITTER

They believe they are powerless.

Same reason they roll through stop signs— they don’t think it makes any difference.

They’re wrong. @TONYTOWNSEND/TWITTER

PETE ARMETTA/FACEBOOK

TIM LONG/EMAIL

Some are lazy, some don’t think their vote counts, and some are just trying to work and don’t have time.

A) fucking privilege.

B) “Cynicism is unexpressed hope.”

—Source unknown

Because they feel disconnected from a political system that doesn’t work for them.

Because they don’t feel that their voice actually matters.

Because we all take democracy for granted.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

@SPAMRULER/TWITTER

Politicians take what they want to get, so they lie.

They tell you what you want to hear so they can get in office.

They feel uncomfortable vs. empowered. Or worried.

Or scared. Or intimidated. Do I have the right papers?

Am I going to be embarrassed? Will I fit in? How do I do it? How do I get there? What if I need help? Nobody cares what I think anyway. Why should I participate in a system that marginalizes me in every way? Maybe we should take the vote to the people vs. creating barriers and then expecting them to all show up.

Virginia makes it hard!

The majority of states now have early voting for weeks before Election Day. You can go on a weekday or weekend that suits your schedule. If early voting was an option here, I think voter turnout would go up and long lines wouldn’t deter people on Election Day either.

There are myriad excuses. Bottom line, we don’t want to be responsible or accountable in any way for our broken system.

“I may not be fixing things, but don’t look at me, I didn’t put that bonehead in office.”

Cause there’s two shitty candidates like Hillary and Trump.

RICK

Plenty of reasons: lack of time, got to work. Some just don’t care. It seems like one single vote won’t count one way or another.

GARY

Leslie Cockburn for Congress is polling shockingly well for the GOP-leaning district that C’ville is in. Hopefully people think she’s worth bothering to turn out for!
