EZE AMOS

Over the past few days, videos of the murders of unarmed black people by cops and white “vigilantes,” which sparked nationwide protests, have been replaced by new videos, of cops brutalizing those protesters in cities across the country.

Many police officers have met the legitimate expression of pent-up rage with violence, beating demonstrators and journalists on camera, firing tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets, holding protesters all night without food or water, and, in a sickening echo of Heather Heyer’s death, plowing their cars into crowds.

As I’m sure someone will write to me to point out, a few agitators have taken advantage of the chaos to loot and destroy businesses, including the office of an alt-weekly in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, where the editor reports their office was set on fire. Obviously, this is reprehensible (not to mention counterproductive). But it’s also no excuse for law enforcement to escalate violence.

Here in Charlottesville, hundreds turned out for a protest on Saturday, and the Black Student Union at Albemarle High School led another demonstration on Sunday. CPD, perhaps finally learning from its heavy-handed approach to past protests, was on hand largely to redirect traffic. Cops did not confront protesters, and the events were nonviolent.

SEE THE UPSIDE OF DOWNTIME

That’s commendable—though it’s also disturbing that police not attacking nonviolent protesters should be such an anomaly. But the city still has work to do. The Police Civilian Review Board, created in the wake of summer 2017 to promote transparency and build trust, is still not fully staffed. And no board exists in Albemarle County, where residents have complained of racial bias by the police, and African Americans are disproportionately arrested, as shown in a report the county declined to fund.

Charlottesville spends $300,000 a year to put police officers in city schools, part of an alarming national trend that has contributed to the school-toprison pipeline for youth of color. Ending that contract is among the demands put forward by the organizers of Saturday’s march, a list that could serve as a handy map to the steps required for real change.

Demonstrations matter.

But supporting the work that follows is even more important.

UVA President Jim Ryan’s recent bland statement on the national unrest has drawn ire from university student leaders. Rising second-year and well-known local activist Zyahna Bryant resigned from the Executive Council on UVA-Community Partnerships over his comments, saying they have “proven that there seems to be no real interest in supporting Black students at UVA in an explicit and direct way.”

NEWS of local criminal justice leaders to discuss reforming the justice system during and after the pandemic. For some, the conclusions from the past two months support arguments they’ve been making for years.

“The data has already been there,” pointed out panelist Cherry Henley, who runs Lending Hands, an ex-offender aid service. “Most people like myself already recognize that if you can release people into the community, they are not that high risk. At the jail, at the work release department, most of these people go out anyway, every day.”

Even so, the pandemic has given these reformers new momentum, and keeping that going is important to them. “People forget stuff really quick,” said Harold Folley, a community organizer at the Legal Aid Justice Center. Folley thinks that moving forward, advocates for decarceration must “constantly remind [people] that releasing folks is safe. Those folks that were released didn’t go and do something criminal here in Charlottesville.”

It’s also important to remember that the house arrest system is far from perfect.

“We’ve been dealing with a lot of inmates being released, and they’re on HEI, and they don’t have identification,” says Whitmore Merrick, who works for the city’s Home to Hope offender aid program. “So they’re not able to be employed. They’re stuck in the house with nothing to do.

“Let’s talk about things that we can radically do now,” Tolbert said. “Programs over prisons. Now is the time to [be] thoughtprovoking, to try to figure out institutions that we can use here in Charlottesville.”

Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania, who supports these alternatives to incarceration, outlined the challenges ahead. Not everyone in the system is on board. “You have victims, you might have detectives or police officers that have worked on the investigation, you have judges that are going to have to buy in…maybe probation officers that are involved in a violation hearing,” Platania said. “They feel a responsibility that might be at odds with some of what Jim [Hingeley] and I are trying to do. There’s a lot of different interests that you have to factor in as a prosecutor.”

“It’s a shame that it took this crisis to motivate the community to get behind decarceration,” Hingeley said. “But it’s happened now, and when the crisis has passed, we’re going to work to continue doing this.”

Nearly a thousand protesters, including local activist Zyahna Bryant (left), took to the streets of downtown Charlottesville May 30, demanding an end to police brutality and justice for the murders of black people across the country.

is enough, and doing it in a way that was peaceful.”

As for Conn, she says she hasn’t thought much about how it was peaceful, or how many supporters came out. “We’re protesting black people getting murdered. That’s not fun. It wasn’t a party [or] a get together.

We’re in the middle of a pandemic and there are millions of black and brown people locked up in jail cells…which was also what this protest was about.”

On Sunday, the Albemarle High School Black Student Union hosted a demonstration in front of the Albemarle County Office Building. Joined by community members, students of all races stood on the sidewalk in masks, chanting and holding signs with phrases like “Justice for George.”

“We wanted to continue the momentum.

It’s important for us to keep protesting peacefully and raising awareness,” says BSU president Faith Holmes. “We’re actually really happy with the way it turned out...we weren’t expecting the numbers that we had.

It was fulfilling to see people from [the community] come out and support Black Lives Matter.”

Moving forward, Gathers says he and other local activists will “continue to monitor the situation across the country,” and “should there be a situation that comes to light, God-forbid, here in Charlottesville, we certainly will be at the ready and quick to respond.”

Charlottesville has its own fraught relationship with the police. Following community anger over the tear-gassing of counterprotesters during the July 2017 KKK rally, and CPD’s failure to protect residents during the violent Unite the Right rally later that summer, City Council created the Police Civilian Review Board to enhance transparency and trust. After years of controversy and disagreement over the board’s bylaws, City Council appointed seven members to the board in February. It will not begin to meet, though, until council appoints an eighth member, who must have

prior law-enforcement experience, and hires an executive director.

Before Saturday’s protest, organizers also released a list of demands for the city, county, and state, which Conn read to the crowd on Saturday. It included an end to pretrial detention and home monitoring fees; the demilitarization and defunding of CPD; and the release of more people from jail and prison, especially given the current high risk of death from COVID-19.

Several Charlottesville officials offered statements condemning Floyd’s death and police violence against the black community. And While Magill did not comment on the specific demands, she says the recent incidents of police brutality around the country “have been weighing heavy on all of council” and, from what she’s seen, council is “committed to true change.”

“So many things are hard to get moving quickly, but we all know that we have to do something real,” she adds. “The time for thoughts and prayers is done—it’s been done.”

High school seniors modify end-of-year traditions “At first it was really, really heartbreaking,” says Albemarle High senior Cora Schiavone, “I was just really upset because there was so much I was looking forward to.”

Swimmers Charlie Cross, a senior at AHS, and Noah Hargrove, from Western, are mourning the cancellation of their summer league, where they would have had senior night and a last chance to swim on the teams they grew up competing with. While Hargrove’s year-round swim team coach put together a virtual form of senior night, “it wasn’t even close” to the real thing, he says.

Like everything this spring, many long-anticipated events weren’t typical of senior year, but they were better than nothing. “I would rather have the big graduation with everybody,” says Ally Schoolcraft, a senior at CHS, which held a “victory lap” and photo op for graduates last week.

“But for the time being, I think they did good with the resources that they had.”—Claudia Gohn

for organizing a concert at all. “It felt like we were being seen and still cared for,” she says.

At Saint Anne’s-Belfield, it’s a tradition for seniors to break the dress code one day in the spring and paint their school uniform skirts with the logos of the colleges they will attend in the fall. Senior Miguel Rivera Young, who’s going to Brown University, says he and some friends found a modified way to take part in the tradition (which isn’t limited to girls): They spread tarps across a street, and painted the skirts while physically distancing from each other. Then they took photos, standing six feet apart.

But there was no substitute for some once-in-a-lifetime events, like prom. For Monticello High senior Catherine Taylor, prom was one of the main things she was looking forward to, and she had begun making plans for the night.

“We all already had our dresses because it was so close.”

Having these memorable events within arm’s reach, only to be snatched away, has devastated many seniors.

@cville_weekly

Senior year traditions—from proms and sports banquets to senior nights and graduation ceremonies—have long been a way to commemorate the end of high school, giving students the chance to celebrate and say goodbye to one chapter of life before beginning a new one. But with schools closed since March and social-distancing regulations still in place, Charlottesville-area teens have had to finish their high school careers with makeshift versions of the events they had looked forward to for years.

Although many seniors are disappointed, some have found these celebratory moments special. Covenant School senior Madi Alley remembers when she was in ninth grade, watching the seniors in a capella perform their traditional spring concert. Now she’s a member of the a capella group herself, but this year’s concert looked much different. It took place at a family friend’s barn, with only four people in the audience, and the singers stood six feet apart, wearing masks. Still, Alley is grateful to her teacher

Demonstrators later marched down the mall to City Hall, then through Market Street Park, along Preston Avenue, and into Washington Park, chanting and listening to speeches from area activists and residents.

Nearly all wore masks, bandanas, and other facial coverings.

While police in other cities have responded violently to protesters (including in Richmond, where peaceful demonstrators were tear-gassed Monday evening), cops did not confront the crowd in Charlottesville, and the event remained nonviolent. CPD, which has been criticized in the past for heavy-handed treatment of protesters, chose to have “officers remain at a respectful distance, so that people attending could engage in civil discourse peacefully,” says spokesman Tyler Hawn.

City Councilor Sena Magill was thankful that CPD took a hands-off approach to the protest, instead of “trying to stop it.” She says she’s also “proud of our community in general for coming out and saying enough

Stay cool, Charlottesville

June 3 – 9, 2020 c-ville.com

Tank goodness As the heat started to set in, local photographer Eric Kelley stared down a summer with three kids under 10 and no pools to go to. So he took matters into his own hands. “It is a galvanized cattle stock tank,” Kelley says of the shiny, 8-foot wide, 2-foot tall metal tub that now sits in his backyard. The tank was designed for cows to drink from, but Kelley turned it into one of the most impressive DIY pools you’ll find in town.

“I got it at Tractor Supply,” he says. The tank was a little bit bent and dented, which is why Kelley scored it for half price. He chased down just the right filter at Valley Pool & Spa in Waynesboro, and even chlorinated the water. “Now we have a beautiful crystal-clear blue pool,” he says.

Kelley’s family normally spends summers at Fry’s Spring Beach Club, just a few blocks from their house. But with everything derailed by the virus, they didn’t join this summer. Kelley’s kids are thrilled to have the stock tank to swim in. “They’re over there right now,” he says. “We’ve been quarantining with a couple neighborhood kids that we’re allowing to be in there with us.”

For those of us who aren’t as ambitious as Kelley, there are other ways to stay cool at home. Walmart has several kiddie pools in stock, while Target sells a more elaborate inflatable pool—complete with an inflatable bench. Hardware stores like Martin’s will fit you with a sprinkler (make sure it has a vertical spray, so there’s plenty of water to jump through). And, of course, there’s always the old reliable garden hose.

It’s a steamy 88 degrees, on average, in Charlottesville in July, and that’s not factoring in the humidity—making it vital to have spots to cool off outdoors. But as summer approaches and many businesses reopen, swimming options remain few and far between.

Here’s our guide to where you can (and can’t) hit the water, and how to do it safely.

Rivers

Virginia Beach opened May 22, with restrictions including no groups of more than 10 people, no tents, no group sports, and “beach ambassadors” on hand to enforce social distancing (non-family members must be six feet apart from one another). Play structures remain closed, and parking garages and surface lots are limited to 50 percent capacity.

Governor Northam allowed the rest of Virgnia’s public beaches to open, with similar restrictions, starting May 29, and most Eastern Shore beaches (along with hotel and rental accommodations) are now open. The town of Cape Charles announced it would reopen its beaches on June 5.

Rivanna River Company is offering daily and weekly rentals of kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, and tubes, although shuttle service is suspended. You must reserve online, and select a time slot for pickup between 9am and 12:30pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Equipment rented out within 48 hours of a previous rental will be sanitized by the staff.

Beaches

James River Reeling & Rafting, in Scottsville, is open for tubing, canoe, kayak, or raft trips, with shuttle service for groups of 10 or fewer. Advanced reservations only.

Rivanna River Company

Under Phase One of Northam’s reopening plan, outdoor pools are allowed to open for lap swimming only, with a limit of one swimmer per lane.

While Charlottesville Parks & Rec has announced it will keep its public pools (along with its spray parks) closed for the entire summer, private pools across the area are open.

ACAC Adventure Central: Members can reserve lanes online (no guests allowed). Bathrooms are limited to one person at a time and outdoor cafés will open soon. ACAC is hoping to open up the pools beyond lap swimming in Phase Two, and is accepting new members (memberships, which include access to all five area locations, start at $92/month).

Boar’s Head: The pool is currently closed, but the club is making plans to open it to members (with reduced occupancy) in Phase Two. They are accepting a limited number of new members, but it’ll cost you $1,500-$3,900 to join, plus monthly fees of $195-$299.

Farmington Country Club: Farmington is offering “limited services” to members only, which may or may not include the pool—we can’t tell you, because nobody there returned our calls.

Fry’s Spring Beach Club: Currently limited to 10 lap swimmers in the pool at a time, no

guests. Summer memberships range from $415$1,018, plus initiation fees, but the club is not accepting new members at this time (a waitlist is available). In Phase Two, according to its website, FSBC plans to open up all three of its pools, to “a predetermined number of pre-registered, socially distanced members at one time.”

Crozet Park Aquatics: Formerly part of the Piedmont YMCA, the pool in Claudius Crozet Park is now operated by ACAC. It’s open to members for lap swimming from 11am to 7pm —sign up online for a 30- or 60-minute session. Bathrooms are limited to one person at a time.

Lakes Sorry, lake-lovers: Albemarle County’s three swimming spots (Chris Greene, Mint Springs, and Walnut Creek) are closed for the entire summer, although trails are open. And while the Forest Service has opened some trails in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, the popular Lake Sherando remains closed for the foreseeable future. “We will continue to assess these closure decisions and will continue to work closely with our state and local partners to determine the best path forward,” says a public information officer.

James River Runners, also located in Scottsville, is taking advance reservations for canoeing, tubing, rafting, and kayaking for groups of 10 or less.

Want to take a dip? Be mindful of currents, always swim with a friend, and avoid the river after heavy rains, when pollution levels can increase.

Swim safe There’s no evidence the coronavirus can spread through water in pools, hot tubs, or spray parks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Lakes, oceans, and other natural areas have also gotten the seal of approval. But there are many safety precautions to keep in mind before hitting the water.

We spoke with Eric Myers, environmental health supervisor for the Thomas Jefferson Health District, to learn more about how to swim safely during the ongoing pandemic.

While more recreational swimming areas may open up during Phase Two, “we’ve been given no guidance on what that

Swimming holes

will look like,” Myers says. But

At the request of the city and county, Sugar Hollow Reservoir is closed for the summer. But other local swimming holes are still accessible if you’re willing to hike (make sure to bring water, hand sanitizer, and a mask).

swimmers follow the same

Blue Hole: Parking is available at 6796 Sugar Hollow Rd., near the Charlottesville Reservoir.

Walk along the trail for about 1.5 miles (it’s a little steep).

Riprap Hollow: For experienced hikers, the Riprap Trail in Shenandoah National Park, which recently reopened, offers a swimming hole about 3.5 miles in. Hike out and back or complete a 10-mile loop. Park at the Riprap Trail parking area at milepost 90 on Skyline Drive.

Entrance fees for the park ($15-30) still apply.

Paul’s Creek: Operated by The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen, the trailhead (and parking) is located off Paul’s Creek Court in Nellysford. At just 1.2 miles roundtrip, it’s an easy hike and boasts multiple waterfalls and natural water slides.

in general, he emphasizes that COVID-19 prevention efforts as they would out of the water, from social distancing to hand washing. Here are some of his dos and don’ts:

DO: • Limit groups to 10 people or less.

• Avoid crowded swimming areas.

• Swim if you are sick or live with someone recently diagnosed with COVID-19.

• Swim in unguarded areas.

• Bring prohibited items, or participate in unauthorized activities. At the beach, that includes: group sports, alcohol, speakers, tents, and groupings of umbrellas.

June 3 – 9, 2020 c-ville.com

• Keep six feet or more away from others, both in and out of the water.

• Limit sharing of pool toys and gear (kickboards, swimming noodles, etc.), and disinfect them between uses.

• Wear a face covering when not swimming.

• Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer often, especially after touching high-contact surfaces like umbrellas, chairs, etc.

• Control droplet spread by coughing or sneezing into your elbow.

• Put on sunscreen (make sure it’s not expired).

• Follow lifeguard directions and posted swimming instructions.

Catching magic Musician and HIV educator Shawn Decker celebrates a life full of surprises

By Erin O’Hare arts@c-ville.com

In 1990, Shawn Decker was fighting HIV and facing a frighteningly uncertain future. He met Depeche Mode (below) through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and will host a virtual party on Saturday to celebrate the 30 precious years since that night.

with the water coming in behind them. Publicity pics for when their own band hit it big.

For the first time since his diagnosis, Decker allowed himself to envision the future.

Ten years later, thanks to his mom’s persistence in getting her son good medical care, and to breakthroughs in HIV treatments that came just as Decker’s health really started to decline, he was writing and performing his own new wave and synth-pop songs.

Many were about living with HIV—making the decision to talk about that “remains the biggest moment in my life,” says Decker.

He’d begun traveling the country with his girlfriend (now wife), Gwenn Barringer, speaking to auditoriums full of young people about HIV/AIDS and sexual health.

“Life is interesting like that,” says Decker, talking by Zoom from his music room, where he’s been hosting the virtual music series Shawn’s Ongoing Spacejam during the shutdown. “Sometimes you catch some magic in another way. I never

thought I’d be open about [having] HIV,” he says.

On Saturday night, Decker will perform some songs, tell stories, share photos (including ones from that Myrtle Beach shoot), and talk about how we can take care of ourselves and one another during the pandemic…after all, he knows a thing or two about dealing with a life-threatening virus.

Decker turns 45 in July, and now he’s asking, “What am I going to do for another 45 years?” He hopes he’ll be an old man, one who wears plaid pants all the time.

But who knows, Decker says with a smile and a shrug. It’s like Depeche Mode sings on “Nothing,” from 1987’s Music for the Masses: “Life / Is full of surprises.”

What Decker’s really celebrating isn’t the fact that he got to meet his favorite band when he was 14, but that he’s alive to mark the occasion.

hawn Decker remembers the first time he heard Depeche Mode. He was 12 or 13, and getting a ride home from his friend’s brother when he noticed the music coming out of the car stereo.

“What is this?!” he asked. The vulnerability of the lyrics, the mood of the new wave/ synth-pop sound—it was unlike anything he’d heard before. Depeche Mode became his favorite band.

Thirty years ago, on June 6, 1990, Decker met Depeche Mode after a show at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

It was a turning point in his life, and he plans to commemorate the occasion on Saturday night with a virtual party on Facebook Live.

What Decker’s really celebrating isn’t the fact that he got to meet his favorite band when he was 14, but that he’s alive to mark the occasion.

Decker was diagnosed with HIV, which he’d contracted through a blood transfusion, in 1987. He was 11 years old, and doctors gave him about two years to live. Meeting the band was Decker’s Make-A-Wish Foundation “wish.” He was ecstatic to meet Depeche Mode, but says it meant “coming to terms with the fact that I was eligible for it.”

But it also gave him something to strive for, he says. He remembers thinking “maybe there was some transfer of magic” when he shook the hand of keyboardist and primary songwriter Martin Gore, and maybe there was: Those 15 minutes with the band made him think that music was something he could pursue.

That same summer, while on vacation at Myrtle Beach, Decker and his best friend bought what he describes as some “rock outfits” and staged a photo shoot on the beach

Pizza my heart Alan Goffinski sings his love of C’ville slices

That’s the purpose of a good jingle, he says: they’re short, simple, slightly repetitive.

“They’re all deliberately a little obnoxiously catchy, the kind of thing that maybe you wish wasn’t stuck in your head, but because it is, you embrace it, smile, and curse my name when you’re falling asleep at night.”

Goffinski emphasizes that none of these jingles have been officially sanctioned by the restaurants they celebrate, but some seem to be on board with the idea. “I have no expectation that any of these pizza places are going to use these jingles in any way, shape, or form…especially if they’re trying to maintain any sort of air of professional-

t any given time, at least 20 percent of Alan Goffinski’s headspace is occupied by pizza.

“Pizza’s the best,” he says. It’s his favorite food, and he has no qualms about admitting it: “If anyone tells you [their favorite food is] anything else, they’re lying.”

“Pizza’s there for the best times,” Goffinski continues sincerely, not an ounce of cheese in his voice. “That’s what makes it so important. It’s the meal you eat with your buds. It’s a celebration meal.”

His reverence and enthusiasm for the pie inspired Pizzas of Charlottesville, an album of 12 jingles for local pizza places out this Friday on Bandcamp.com.

Goffinski is perhaps best known as the director of The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, but he’s a musician, too. In the early 2000s, he toured and made a couple records with indie rock band The 1997, and this past December, in collaboration with a few other local musicians, released Smells Like Music, an album of 20 goofy-sweet children’s songs under the moniker Little Skunks.

So Goffinski’s been in “a playful songwriting headspace,” and with local pies of all kinds always on his mind, he says the jingles “developed organically.”

“But I would invite them to!”

Goffinski might eat some of these pies more than others, but each has its merits, he says, and he loves them all. “There’s no such thing as bad pizza. Even bad pizza is good pizza.”

In recent weeks, many local restaurants that decided to take a pandemic pause have started to phase back into action, including well-loved spots like Al Carbon, Bizou, Brazos Tacos, Little Star, Luce, Tavola, and Tilman’s. These restaurants are reaching customers through online ordering with delivery, curbside pickup, or no-contact handoff of food and drinks. Some, like Citizen Burger Bar and Red Pump Kitchen, are also making use of available outdoor space to bring guests back on site, at a distance.

The returns are a glimmer of hope for many after months of closure announcements—both temporary and permanent—due to coronavirus.

Healthy growth Amid coronavirus challenges, NoBull Burger expands its reach

By Mary Shea Watson living@c-ville.com

I

f you don’t have hope, what do you have?

That’s the mindset Elizabeth Raymond recently adopted for NoBull, the vegetarian burger and brand she launched almost a decade ago with her mother, Crissanne, and her sister, Heather.

Crissanne, a “wickedly talented” chef and caterer, raised her children to be cautious about what they were consuming, and created homemade veggie burgers based on her own mother’s lentil soup recipe. “It was a big treat when mom made a batch [of veggie burgers] for us,” says Raymond, who was one of six children. “People wouldn’t remember her name, but they did remember her as the veggie burger lady.”

Fast forward to 2011: Raymond was finishing graduate school at UVA and bartending at the now-defunct Blue Light Grill downtown, her sister owned a massage therapy practice, and Raymond’s mother was enjoying her new role as grandmother.

But Raymond and her family had always wondered about marketing their mother’s veggie burger, and the timing seemed right, so they pitched NoBull to Raymond’s food industry connections.

“Veggie burgers were just starting to come to the market and just did not compare to mom’s recipe,” Raymond says.

Her chef friends began putting the burgers on their menus, and Raymond landed a spot at City Market, which introduced her to key connections at Bodo’s Bagels and Charlottesville’s Whole Foods Market.

Little by little, the brand grew—the burger was picked up by dozens of Whole Foods stores in the mid-Atlantic, 60 Krogers in Virginia, and half of Wegmans 100-plus stores on the East Coast.

Raymond thought 2020 was going to be her year. The nationwide brand was about to enter into its seed-funding stage to raise capital from investors. Her team—a “family unit,” she calls them—was expanding, working on semi-automated production processes, and seeking to scale the company.

“We had great projections for the year,” says Raymond. But as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, Raymond watched her business “totally halt.” The company lost 90 percent of its food service revenue, as restaurants, breweries, and universities shuttered.

“I felt a sheer panic toward what was going to happen. ...Mom and I were looking at each other and saying, ‘What are we going to do?’”

ove them or hate them, zombie stories remain popular because they represent the nagging fear that the problems we allow to persist will eventually overpower us. Zombies are husks, barely recognizable as humans, possessing our shape and our need to consume but lacking morality, symbols of our collective failure as a society.

In the 52 years since Night of the Living Dead revolutionized the genre, many of those problems have remained unsolved, and are therefore frequent themes for zombie films: racism, consumerism, inequality, militarism, and a lack of faith in the institutions designed to protect humankind.

In Blood Quantum, from filmmaker Jeff Barnaby, the undead invasion parallels an even deeper, centuries-old tragedy: colonialism. A mysterious virus arrives by water and soon spreads to the entire region, confining the Mi'kmaq survivors to the Red Crow Reservation, where hordes of invaders are intent on wiping them out. (“Blood quantum” itself refers to laws first created in the Colonial era, the ratio of one’s ancestry that determines status as a Native American. The laws were often used to persecute, to facilitate extermination and forced relocation, and have been blamed for creating racism where none existed within tribes.)

The story is frighteningly prescient, not only given the current global pandemic, but as the Cheyenne River Sioux and Oglala Sioux tribes are battling with the governor of South Dakota for their right to maintain checkpoints on all roads leading in and out of their reservations due to coronavirus. Barnaby could not have predicted the specific events of today when he wrote and directed the film, which premiered at festivals last year, but it feels ripped from recent headlines.

As with many of the best horror films, Blood Quantum is scariest when it explores the plausible consequences of fantastical events. After the scramble to understand this virus, the Mi'kmaq learn that they are immune, and that the Red Crow reservation’s remote location is strategically useful in keeping out unwanted elements. But the immunity is no boon, as they are still in danger of being eaten alive, and geographic isolation means being confined behind metal walls until they die or are overtaken. The promise of staying alive is enough for some survivors, while others cannot envision a future within the fortress’ walls, succumbing to drugs, anger issues, and other destructive behaviors. Each solution only creates a new

Horror fans will find a solidly terrifying escape in the zombie feature Blood Quantum. The film has plenty of eerie parallels to the current state of societal conflict in reaction to the coronavirus.

problem; reservations did not erase the ills of colonization, and the strongest walls do not protect against self-destruction.

Barnaby shows his extensive knowledge of zombie film history, and draws on those movies’ stylistic innovations to build the foundation for Blood Quantum. But even the most seasoned genre fan will be taken aback by some moments, especially in the film’s first act. In the opening scene, we see gutted fish begin to flop on dry land, and it’s disturbing, even for a genre built on shock value.

The opening credits also pack an emotional punch, revealing structures like bridges and buildings from uncomfortable angles. You might not expect the sight of a bridge at a 90-degree angle to be so jarring, but when viewed in the context of an imminent catastrophe, it’s quite effective. The structures we’ve built, whether physical or institutional, have become hollow. At best, they are simply shapes in a barren wasteland, at worst, they hasten our doom. A bridge is no longer a bridge, it is a liability.

A police officer has no more authority than a hooligan. Was it always this way? Was our existence always barely contained chaos, or had we fooled ourselves into believing we’d created order?

Of the zombie tales that came before, viewers might find the most similarity with “The Walking Dead”: a character-driven story where reckoning with the past is as vital as contemplating the future. Michael Greyeyes, who portrays former officer Traylor, was even featured on “Fear the Walking Dead” as Qaletaqa Walker. Greyeyes is an excellent anchor for the film throughout; in his former life, his every action suggested a man frustrated by powerlessness, but bound by an unspoken moral obligation to try and make change. His son, Joseph (Forrest Good-

There are so many characters with terrific performances that the story might have worked best as a miniseries. But as it is, Blood Quantum offers plenty to enjoy and contemplate.

As with many of the best horror films, Blood Quantum is scariest when it explores the plausible consequences of fantastical events.

pronounce, farmers or owners they know, and putting a face to a name and how all those things matter,” she says.

Raymond believes nourishment is about finding a balance and eating intuitively.

That’s always been her story, and it isn’t over yet. She feels confident that NoBull will be back on menus when restaurants are ready to reopen, and she takes pride in NoBull’s growth and grit in spite of the fragility and fear affecting consumer’s decisions. Pandemic or not, she still has big plans.

“For us, food is love. We have to take care of our community because they’re taking care of us.”

Staggering steps

June 3 – 9, 2020 c-ville.com

So Raymond did what many entrepreneurs are forced to do at some point, global pandemic or not: She pivoted. Her employees began following strict social-distancing guidelines, wearing personal protective equipment, and performing increased cleaning procedures. The company started providing meals to the Boys & Girls Club, The Haven, and Feed the Frontline.

“For us, food is love,” says Raymond. “We have to take care of our community because they’re taking care of us.”

For nearly two years, Raymond has worked with Tara Eavey of 4P Foods and the Local Food Hub to increase NoBull’s distribution and customer base.

“I have seen local small businesses and farms go from thriving and fruitful, to an entity that is struggling to make it from week to week with non-existent sales,” Eavey says of the pandemic’s impact. When the COVID-19 crisis first began, 4P Foods realized it could serve farmers and small business owners like Raymond by continuing to order as much product as possible. Because of that shift, Eavey recently coordinated one of the organization’s largest orders of NoBull Burgers for its CSA members.

For now, Raymond can breathe a little easier. Her production team has better access to PPE, for example. And NoBull just expanded into two new markets—a natural foods store in Michigan, and Whole Foods in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

It’s a region Raymond had been trying to break into for years.

“Our retail sales are spiking, especially in the frozen foods category, since everyone is staying home and packing their freezer.

Through all of this, we’re still producing,” Raymond says.

And it’s Raymond’s method of safe, organic food production that the COVID-19 crisis has brought to the forefront of many shoppers’ minds. In April, over 100 poultry and meat processing plants owned by corporations like Smithfield Foods, Tyson Foods, and Perdue Farms reported nearly 5,000 coronavirus cases. By the end of April, prices for meat and other animal-based food products had jumped by at least 8 percent.

Those numbers didn’t surprise Raymond; she hopes the crisis will remind consumers that what they put in their bodies matters. “I hope these events will guide people’s shopping behaviors towards ingredients they can

LIVINGFREE FREEWILL WILLASTROLOGY ASTROLOGY CULTURE

By Rob Brezsny

Cancer (June 21-July 22): I’m one of the lucky people who has never been addicted to alcohol or drugs. What’s the source of my great fortune? Two kinds of grace are key: I suffered no abuse and trauma when I was growing up, and my genetic makeup doesn’t predispose me to self-medicate with intoxicants. But I am indeed a bit addicted to other things, like fearful fantasies, sexual feelings, and the urge to win arguments. So I’m blessed in some ways, cursed in others— just like all of us! In honor of our season of introspection, my fellow Cancerian, I invite you to do what I just did: Count your blessings and curses. Doing so will bring you the right kind of healing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Jacquemus Mini Le Chiquito is the name of a tiny purse you can buy for $522. It fits into the palm of your hand, and won’t hold much—maybe a single-use strand of dental floss, a shoe from a Barbie doll, a snippet of a loved one’s hair, an aspirin, maybe a few crumbs from a potato chip. In any case, I don’t recommend it for you. You should be surrounding yourself with symbols of capaciousness and roominess. You need influences that inspire you to be a spacious container. It’s time for you to welcome and receive an abundance of blessings, inquiries, and invitations.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don’t,” writes author Rebecca Solnit. “And it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown.” Your assignment in the coming weeks is to thoroughly incorporate Solnit’s wisdom—and then wield it with tender ferocity as you reshape your relationship with the future. See if you can manage, if only for 10 days, to fight off and dissolve the reflex to worry. Here’s a tip: Any time the agitated fantasy of an ugly scenario rises up in your imagination, remind yourself that it’s not objectively true and immediately replace it with a fantasy of a desirable scenario.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “It’s OK to live a life others don’t understand,” writes author Jenna Woginrich.

That’s a healthy attitude for an eccentric person like her, who taught herself by trial and error how to run a small farm with a meager budget while all alone in the middle of nowhere. But does her advice apply to everyone? I say yes, it does. All of us have quirky behaviors and idiosyncratic ideas and odd feelings that other people find hard to understand, let alone appreciate. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because the coming weeks will be a time when it’s best for you to emancipate yourself as much as possible from the need to be perfectly understood as you express your raw, pure, unique self. dreamed up the imaginative stories and characters in his novels. The truth was that on occasion Faulkner did indeed consume alcohol in excessive amounts. However, he rarely indulged while actually writing. His creative ideas mostly came from his fertile imagination, not an unhinged spirit. In the coming weeks, I hope you will be like Faulkner during the inventive phases he enjoyed while sober and disciplined and driven by focused intention. The astrological omens suggest that’s the best recipe for generating original ideas and productive visions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): “What use is this howling tenderness?” wrote eighth-century Tamil mystic poet Andal. My research on Google reveals that no one has answered her question until now. I decided you would benefit from hearing my response, since you are in a chapter of your life story when howling tenderness could work to your benefit. So here’s my counsel: Howling tenderness is useful because it has the power to shatter mysterious barriers that have been at least partially obstructing you from exploring the frontiers of sacred intimacy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield articulates the spiritual medicine I think you should seek in the coming weeks.

You especially need it, and by happy coincidence, it’s likely to be available. Kornfield writes: “When we have for so long been judged by everyone we meet, just to looking into the eyes of another who does not judge us can be extraordinarily healing.” I urge you to identify the people who can perform this service for you, then ask them pointblank to perform this service, even if it has to happen over FaceTime or via Zoom. To generate the good karma that will ensure

this happens in just the right way, offer to perform the same service for others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The changes we dread most may contain our salvation,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Although I mostly agree with her conclusion, I’ll also suggest that we could come up with less melodramatic versions of it. For example, we might say, “The adjustments we’re resisting may actually be healthy.” Or “The uncomfortable transitions we’re avoiding might ultimately lead to a better version of comfort.” Or “The revelations we’re attempting to ignore and deny could eventually be the source of relief and release.” Do any of these work for you right now, Capricorn? I bet at least one does.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some people seem to think of sacredness as being pristine and pious— an immaculate and orderly transcendence of earthly concerns. Author and minister Marilyn Sewell has a different perspective.

“Who can order the Holy?” she asks. “It is like a rain forest, dripping, lush, fecund, wild.

We enter its abundance at our peril, for here we are called to the wholeness for which we long, but which requires all we are and can hope to be.” I recommend Sewell’s version of holiness to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You’re primed to upgrade and deepen your sacred lust for life.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When Europeans arrived in the New World, the Iroquois Confederacy in what’s now northeastern North American had been practicing participatory democracy for 350 years. The visionary principles of these native people ultimately influenced the formation of the United States and its Constitution. Now would be a good time for you

(March 21-April 19): Aries poet Paul Verlaine wrote “Autumn Song” in 1866. It became a well-known French poem, and eventually played a role in a historical turning point. In June 1944, a top-secret British spy organization used the poem as a code to communicate crucial information to the French Resistance, via BBC radio, about the allies’ upcoming D-Day invasion of Normandy. In the spirit of poetry being used to accomplish practical actions, I’m now sending out a burst of code to you, Aries. It’s adapted from another poem

by Verlaine: “Delight in good-omened fortune, baptized by the bristling scents of mint, thyme, and clover on the wind of dawn.” Regard this as a signal for you to acquire a necessary resource, strengthen connections with key allies, and intensify your current quest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Taurus philosopher Bertrand Russell observed, “The best life is the one in which the creative impulses play the largest part and the possessive impulses the smallest.” That is always an important principle for everyone to embrace, in my opinion.

But it will be an especially essential truth for you in the coming weeks. Your creative powers will thrive, even soar and generate blessings, to the degree that you downplay and outwit your possessive inclinations.

Staying Close to Home, But Not Really

By Ken Wilson

exhibition, The Inside World: Contemporary Aboriginal Australian Memorial Poles, may be enjoyed in a 38-minute YouTube video on its Exhibitions page.

The Fralin’s education department has created online activity booklets, artmaking videos, and online programs for children. Visit the museum online and hit the Fralin from Home tab, or visit the Fralin Facebook page, for activities like the Mindful Art Virtual Workshop scheduled for Friday, June 5 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. with author, illustrator, and YA graphic novelist Laura Lee Gulledge.

Zoom into Art, for 7 to 12-year-olds and their grown-ups, is a 30-minute deep dive into one or two works of art followed by a short sketching activity. Led by UVA student museum educators and staff, it teaches kids to observe carefully, and talk about what they see to better understand it. Sessions are Wednesdays from 11:00 to 11:45 a.m., June 3, 10, 17, and 24.

Registrations are accepted one week at a time, starting Thursday mornings for the following Wednesday program. Email the museum to register.

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts While the galleries of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond remain empty for the time being, the museum’s mission “to enrich the lives of all” continues.

The word “Kamoinge” comes from Gikuyu, the language of the Kikuyu people of Kenya.

Staying Close to Home, But Not Really CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do, but there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.

t gives a new meaning to the word “staycation,” this ordeal does. Hanging around the house just to relax or to tackle home improvement projects can be pure pleasure, but this is something else again. What’s heavenly when it’s voluntary is . . . you get the idea. If the social scientists and opinion columnists are to be believed, we’re all fighting with our spouses and letting the kids watch hours of trash TV—when we aren’t tearing our hair out trying to homeschool them. Even with stores and

businesses beginning to reopen, this is a stressful time.

But we live in an age of marvels we sometimes take for granted. In the past few months, as Zoom conferences, Facetime family get-togethers and livestreaming musical performances have become part of our everyday worlds, the electronic connectivity that had become almost humdrum has seemed like a godsend.

Now about that vacation, the one we won’t be taking any time soon—technology can’t cure, but it surely can ease, the COVID-time blues.

The Fralin Museum of Art The stately Fralin Museum of Art on Rugby Road is a nice place to while away

an afternoon, off the busy streets and in company with fine art spanning cultures and centuries. Founded in 1935, the University of Virginia’s official museum of art maintains a collection of nearly 14,000 objects.

Although the museum is temporarily closed, its currently scheduled special

Over at Wintergreen Resort in Nelson County, the Wintergreen Music Festival stands ready to hold on-site concerts this year if safety allows. Meanwhile, three online weekday Explorations series—online cocktail parties combined with interactive game shows—have been scheduled for Zoom viewing and participation.

In addition to interactive Q&As with Erin Freeman and guest Festival artists, registered Exploration participants will have access to curated playlists, opportunities to socialize and interact with other music lovers, and the chance to win food and swag from Devils Backbone Brewing Company.

The first Explorations series, How We Got Here—Music History with Erin Freeman and Special Guests, takes places Monday at 10:00 a.m. The topic for Monday, June 8: Baroque—Monteverdi, Lully, Vivaldi, Bach & More! with special guests Peter Marshall on piano and Sarah Kapps on cello.

“Music and . . .” beginning Tuesday, June 9 at 10 will celebrate musical partnerships with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond Ballet, and The Nature Foundation at Wintergreen.

35 JUNE 3 - JUNE 9, 2020 ISSUE 2922

“You Don’t Say!”, Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. beginning on July 2, will feature trivia and humor with Erin Freeman and Festival artists on five successive Thursdays at 7:00 p.m.

Staunton Music Festival

Shenandoah Valley Music Festival and Senior Center Outing

Virginia Film Festival

Bubonic plague broke out repeatedly in England during the lifetime of William Shakespeare, whose work is performed at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton. The company’s Blackfriars Theater is a faithful recreation of the Bard’s own indoor 1596 London theater.

While the Blackfriars is closed, ASC is bringing it to our homes with BlkFrsTV, cinema-quality streaming video of their complete 2020 season.

“Thrilling” is what esteemed Wall Street Journal critic Terry Teachout calls these productions: “These webcasts effortlessly convey the joyous experience of watching Shakespeare performed in Blackfriars Playhouse. Let ASC take your mind off your troubles as you commune at home with theater’s supreme genius.”

Midsummer 90 is a 90-minute, NewOrleans-flavored production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Wading into a bayou of masked hobgoblins, enchanting nymphs, and imps who sing the blues, it’s “a play full of contemporary echoes that are both unexpected and unforced,” in Teachout’s words, “performed by ASC with a sober plainness of utterance that pierces the heart like a well-honed arrow.”

Cymbeline’s daughter Imogen gets star billing in Imogen (aka Cymbeline), ASC’s take on Shakespeare’s fairy-tale classic. Disguises, mistaken identity, a missing head, and nefarious plots swirl through this riveting romance.

Shakespeare’s isn’t the only classic work to be seen at Blackfriars. Frank Galati won a Tony Award for his adaptation of John Steinbeck’s 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath set in the Depression-era American West.

Streaming tickets begin at just $10.

Ten percent of all funds raised through the sale of digital tickets and contributions will be dedicated to an Employee Relief Fund for ASC’s staff and artists currently on furlough.

The 33rd Annual Virginia Film Festival is still scheduled for October 21-25, 2020.

While we wait and hope, the Beyond the Screen: A Virtual Conversation Series every other Wednesday offers more vibrant and wide-ranging conversations of the sort that have become a VAFF hallmark.

“As we thought about how to connect with our audience given the challenges we are all facing today,” said VAFF Director and UVA Vice Provost for the Arts Jody Kielbasa, “we kept coming back to our unique history of, and capacity for, presenting meaningful dialogue around the films we present, and the important issues that surround them. This series allows us to continue this tradition of deep and meaningful engagement while sharing the important voices of filmmakers and utilizing the knowledge and interesting perspectives of experts from both the UVA and local communities.”

All conversations in the series are free, open to the public, livestreamed on Zoom, and archived on the VAFF’s YouTube channel. Films are available to rent or purchase through various streaming platforms prior to the scheduled discussions. Pre-registration is required for those conversations.

Beastie Boys Story will be the topic of discussion on Wednesday, June 3. Participants will include educator, performer, rapper, promoter and director of Charlottesville’s 9 Pillars HipHop Cultural Fest,

American Shakespeare Center

Paramount Theater Your living room or home theater likely lacks the grandeur of the Downtown Mall’s 89-year-old Paramount Theater, but one film the Paramount is streaming on its website will transport you to even more opulent times and places: 15th cen-

tury Venice, by way of London’s National Gallery. Exhibition on Screen: Leonardo explores the paintings and drawings of Leonardo da Vinci.

Other offerings focus on some of the most interesting people of our day. Director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and executive producers Martin Scorsese (The Departed) and Steven Zaillian (Moneyball) teamed up for Life Itself, a documentary on the life of renowned film critic Roger Ebert. Based on Ebert’s bestselling memoir of the same name, the film is personal, funny, painful, and transcendent.

Bobblehead dolls of “the notorious RBG” have been selling for years, but the story behind the rise of Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans. RBG explores the life and career of this 85-year-old unlikely pop culture icon . . . and influential Supreme Court Justice.

Jefferson-Madison Regional Library Twelve-year-old Owen enters different stories with the help of his nine-year-old cousin’s magic bookmark in Anne Lindbergh’s children’s tale, Travel Far, Pay No Fare—an apt metaphor for an awesome library. The buildings may be closed to the public, but new books are still rolling in to the Jefferson-Madison Regional Public Library system. Our vital and civically engaged public library branches now provide curbside pickup service, plus a host of virtual clubs, workshops, story times and more.

Foodies ages 12+ will share recipes during the Zoom-facilitated meeting of the Cookbook Bookclub, Tuesday, June 9 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Attica Locke’s Bluebird, Bluebird will be the subject of investigation for the Mystery Book Group, Tuesday, June 23 from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

Not every beloved summer event has been canceled: the late summer Shenandoah Valley Music Festival in Orkney Springs is carrying on with appropriate safety measures. Pavilion seats are for sale in every other row. As an additional precaution, the total number of seats sold within each ticket order will have a buffer of two seats on either side.

Bluegrass legend Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives will play the Festival on Friday, August 21. Grammy Award winning Irish music fiddler Eileen Ivers and her band, Universal Roots, will appear the following evening, Saturday, August 22. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, country rock favorites since the 60s, will play Saturday, September 5. Bluegrass history buffs The Earls of Leicester will

While the Staunton Music Festival has been postponed until August 13-22, 2021, classical music lovers can already enjoy dozens of performances from previous years on the Festival’s YouTube page.

Later this month the Festival will enhance those selections with video introductions, lectures, and program notes.

“We’re thinking of it as a way to amplify and deepen everyone’s appreciation of the music, composers, players, and process involved,” says the Festival’s Executive Director, Jason Stell. “The intro videos will range from players talking about their approach to the music, its interpretation and historical interest, to giving deeper insights into the piece itself with demos and analysis.” Connections will be drawn to other arts and historical eras: “anything we can do to show the richness this music brings to our lives.”

Rough plans are for 20 such videos— two new releases per week for about ten weeks starting late June. Among the first will likely be Vivaldi’s Four Seasons concertos, accompanied by interviews of violinists Antti Tikkanen and Minna Pensola from Helsinki. Expect to also see new works from bandoneonist JP Jofre, pianist Andrew Willis talking about his own historical pianos and the Mendelssohn Capriccio he played last summer, and singers and scholars talking about key moments in JS Bach’s St Matthew Passion.

headline the Hot Strings and Cool Breezes program on Sunday, September 6.

Charlottesville’s The Center (formerly The Senior Center) is selling tickets for a trip to the opening night’s show with Marty Stuart. The trip is open to the public. All arrangements are being made with health and safety in mind.
