“Coronavirus Could Be the End of Alt-Weeklies,” declared a Mother Jones headline in March. Around the country, venerable snark-slinging rags have dropped employees or shut down entirely, crippled by cratering ad revenue. C-VILLE, unfortunately, has not escaped the crash. Our staff is a lot smaller than it was just a few weeks ago. (The newsroom had no input in these decisions: If you’re upset that your favorite journalist is out of work, believe me, you’re not as upset as we are.)

After these changes, I’ve become this paper’s editor. Though I wish the circumstances were different, I’m thrilled to take the reins.

I’ve lived in Charlottesville for 10 years.

I went to Charlottesville High School, and first fell in love with this town while sitting in the bleachers during Friday night football games. My writing career started down the street at the Cavalier Daily, UVA’s student paper. For the last six months, I’ve been a news reporter at CVILLE, and in that time I’ve been impressed by how much I still don’t know about this city. There’s always another stone to overturn.

Moving forward, C-VILLE will keep doing what we do best. We’ll take every opportunity to lend our platform to those whose stories have been historically ignored. We’ll listen when our readers reach out, and reflect those comments back like only local news can. We’ll give credit to people who go the extra mile to feed, or house, or organize their neighbors. (That’s what this week’s feature story, a heartfelt twist on our annual Power Issue, is all about.) And hopefully, we’ll do it with a sense of humor.

We’re local journalists—we work for the community. Don’t ever hesitate to reach out. My email address is in the masthead, but it’s here too: editor@c-ville.com. I look forward to hearing from you.—Ben Hitchcock

Denver Riggleman’s campaign claims that several delegates who participated in the recent drive-thru Republican convention have contracted coronavirus, reports CBS19.

The local Republican Party denies the accusation. Riggleman continues to criticize the drive-thru convention format that saw him lose the congressional nomination to challenger Bob Good. “Voter fraud has been a hallmark of this process,” Riggleman tweeted on election night.

UVA will now allow students to enroll and graduate “regardless of citizenship or immigration status,” the university announced last week. Previously, only DACA recipients—not other “undocu+” students—had not been allowed to matriculate. The decision represents a long-sought victory for activists around the school community.

UVA’s “Great and Good” strategic plan lists “recruiting and retaining excellent and diverse faculty” as a central goal. But this year, two black scholars who have been denied tenure claim the decision process was significantly flawed, possibly due to racial bias.

Paul Harris has worked at UVA’s Curry School of Education since 2011, studying identity development in black male studentathletes and underrepresented students’ college readiness. For the past six years, Harris’ annual reviews indicated that he was meeting or exceeding expectations. So he was shocked to learn in January that an all-white, college-wide promotion and tenure committee had recommended against giving him tenure. Instead, he was offered a promotion—for a non-tenure-track position.

Harris says the committee claimed his research in the Journal of African American Males in Education in 2016 was “self-published.” (In fact, the peer-reviewed journal has a 23 percent ac-

ceptance rate.) The committee also got his citation counts wrong—they’re five times higher than the committee claimed.

Sociologist Tolu Odumosu has been on the tenure track at UVA’s School of Engineering and Applied Science since 2013. He’s co-written and co-edited two books, and helped write a $3 million National Science Foundation grant. After his third-year review suggested he expand his editing experience, he also became an associate editor of two journals.

But the engineering school’s tenure committee did not grant him tenure this year. It claimed that Odumosu hadn’t written enough work by himself, and was not the principal investigator named on the NSF grant. Like Harris, Odumosu had not been warned that his work was not up to par.

Both men appealed the decisions to UVA’s provost, but the appeals were rejected. The scholars are now appealing to the Faculty Senate’s grievance committee—their last option.

@cville_weekly

Tweets about allegations of sexual assault and harassment directed at dozens of UVA students and staff appeared on an anonymous Twitter account last week. The alleged incidents once again drew attention to students’ calls for reform—in April, student advocacy group UVA Survivors created a list of demands for institutional change in sexual assault policy, reports The Cavalier Daily. The list has garnered around 1,700 new signatures in the past week.

Charlottesville activists continue to mobilize the community to protest police brutality. Large marches and demonstrations have taken place in town at least once a week since the death of George Floyd in late May. Last weekend, protesters marching downtown also directed some of their energy toward patrons of the mall’s outdoor restaurants: The demonstrators chanted “Shame” at diners who were sipping beer and chewing on burgers.

Community members have noticed that the Charlottesville Police Foundation—dedicated to fundraising for the “advanced training, new technologies and equipment, [and] housing assistance” that isn’t covered by the department’s $18 million budget—posted a list of donors on its website. The list featured several local restaurants and other businesses, as well as individuals, including City Council members Lloyd Snook and Heather Hill.

Foot on the gas Anti-pipeline activists fight on, undeterred by Supreme Court

ast week, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the Atlantic Coast Pipeline would be allowed to cross underneath the Appalachian Trail. Dominion Energy, the pipeline’s main backer, has characterized the Supreme Court’s decisions as a significant step forward for the controversial project.

If completed, the pipeline would carry natural gas 600 miles from West Virginia to North Carolina. The project’s initial price tag was $5 billion, but more recent estimates say it will cost as much as $8 billion. Gas was supposed to be flowing by 2019, but the Southern Environmental Law Center says that less than 6 percent of the pipe has been installed so far.

The project has been slowed in part due to years of dedicated work from grassroots activists, who have fought tooth and nail to stop the pipeline from slicing through the Appalachian wilderness. They say the project will have devastating effects on water quality and wildlife in the area, and that it’s not economically necessary.

“This is a major victory for the project,” Dominion says of the decision in a press bulletin. “It paves the way for the ACP to be completed and bring jobs to the region, stimulate the economy and lead us to a cleaner energy future.”

“They’ll parade the decision to shareholders, and probably make some additional press releases to make [the pipeline] seem like an inevitable project,” says Daniel Shaffer, a geospatial consultant for the anti-pipeline coalition Allegheny-Blue Ridge Alliance. “But it really doesn’t change their situation.”

It’s worth taking a closer look at the terms of the case that came before the Supreme Court. In 2017, the project secured a key construction permit from the U.S. Forest Service. Then, in 2018, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond vacated that permit. Dominion challenged the Fourth Circuit’s decision, and that’s the challenge that went to the Supreme Court.

Lew Freeman, the executive director of ABRA, says the group is “disappointed, but not entirely surprised” that the Supreme Court ruled the way it did. “We’re quick to point out that this is only one of several issues on which the Forest Service permit was struck down,” Freeman says. “Those other reasons for vacating the permit were not challenged by Dominion in this case.”

In other words, the Supreme Court case doesn’t ensure that the Forest Service permit will be reinstated—it just removes one of many hurdles that Dominion will have to clear when it requests another Forest Service permit.

The Southern Environmental Law Center, which is dedicated to protecting the environment, has led the legal opposition to the pipeline. After the decision last week,

“[Dominion] will parade the decision to shareholders...but it really doesn’t change their situation.”

Don’t get complacent The virus is still with us, says local health department “You might feel great.

You want to go out and don’t want the face covering because it’s constrictive, or you don’t like the way it feels or think it’s unnecessary—[but] you still can actually spread the disease.”

the SELC noted that eight other permits for the pipeline are still in question.

“Their certificate of public necessity and convenience is under review,” says Shaffer.

“They can’t cross any water anywhere. Can’t take any endangered species. Can’t cross under the Blue Ridge Parkway. We don’t know what will happen with the Forest Service permit.”

And in January, a permit to build an invasive compressor station in Buckingham County’s historically black Union Hill neighborhood was thrown out.

If all of this conflict over permits seems confusing and convoluted, that’s exactly the point. Tying up the project in time-consuming and costly litigation has been one of the anti-pipeline group’s core strategies from the beginning. Shaffer says now, he’s “absolutely” optimistic about the possibility of eventually killing the project, “much more so than I was when I first joined the fight.”

ABRA, which is an umbrella organization that coordinates more than 50 environmental groups from West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, continues to fight the pipeline on other fronts, too.

Construction on the project has been halted since 2018, but when it resumes, Shaffer says, ABRA and its subsidiaries will be ready to resume their construction monitoring. Shaffer says they’ve also lent a hand to groups fighting other non-renewable energy projects like the Mountain Valley Pipeline or the Header Improvement Project.

Recently, ABRA published a paper that demonstrates how even small amounts of construction in the area can cause significant environmental problems. “Land disturbance in the Appalachian mountain area, because of its excessive rainfall and steep slopes and fragile topography, can spawn landslides with very little disruption,” Freeman says.

“Long term, obviously, we hope it won’t be built,” Shaffer says. “Short term, we hope to keep everybody engaged, to supply our legal partners with any information we can, and continue keeping people educated.”

“I don’t make predictions about what’s going to happen in a political or legislative or legal sense,” says Freeman, when asked if he thinks the pipeline will ever be finished.

“I will say this: I believe that this project was wrongheaded from the beginning…We’re going to continue to fight it.”

early three weeks ago, most of Virginia moved into Phase 2 of the state’s coronavirus reopening plan, loosening restrictions on a range of businesses. As the percentage of positive COVID-19 tests continues to trend downward, Virginians can now sit down to eat inside in a restaurant, work out at the gym, or hit the pool. And with places like Great Wolf Lodge planning to reopen soon (and Virginia Beach already open), you can even take a summer vacation.

“The asymptomatic individuals who have COVID can spread the disease,” says McKay. “You might feel great. You want to go out, and don’t want the face covering because it’s constrictive, or you don’t like the way it feels or think it’s unnecessary—[but] you still can actually spread the disease.”

“The best way to prevent that spread is [to] wear the face covering,” he adds. “That’s really what THOMAS JEFFERSON HEALTH DISTRICT DATA

If constructed, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline will cut through these scenic Nelson County hills.

Though the recent protests against police brutality and systemic racism held in Charlottesville have attracted hundreds of people (many wearing face masks), the area has not seen a dramatic rise in cases.

“Phase 2 and some of the protests here have coincided, so we’re not at a point where we can definitely say that one thing or the other has led to a huge increase in cases,” McKay says. “But we haven’t really had big spikes in our cases.”

He says the health department’s main concern is people disregarding safety guidelines on a larger scale. Phase 3 of reopening could be delayed again, or—in dire circumstances—Virginia could go back to Phase 1.

“Wearing the masks, if we do that as a community, down to the individual level, that’ll help us move forward into Phase 3 and continue to be able to do things that we want, with some mitigation strategies in place,” McKay adds.

But until there is a vaccine and widespread immunity to COVID-19, we should remain “concerned” about the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus cases, according to McKay. With local schools and the University of Virginia reopening in the fall, there will be even more opportunity for the virus to spread if the proper precautions aren’t taken.

Right now, “the best thing we can do is stress education about those strategies to minimize risk,” he says. “Making sure we’re protecting ourselves, but also each other, is going to be hugely important.”

Radio silence

By Lisa Provence

W

WPVC founder Jeff Lenert is still puzzled that Saga Communications, a national company in 27 markets, would want to drive his low-powered nonprofit station out of business.

she was out of a job the night before she returned from vacation.

Charlottesville Radio Group GM Mike Chiumento did not respond to requests from C-VILLE Weekly.

“We got a lot of lip service that we were a local station,” says Shine, who is now hosting a podcast with Rondeau.

Lenert thinks Charlottesville Radio Group and Saga could afford to have the “Big Greasy Breakfast,” and coexist with stations like WPVC, which generate $1,000 a month. “But they choose not to in an effort to dominate the local radio market,” he says, “which appears to me every month less and less local and more syndicated.”

“The whole idea in developing the radio station was to turn it on and pass the mic to people to let them tell their stories” JEFF LENERT, FOUDNER OF WPVC

VOLUME 26, ISSUE 1

June 24 – 30, 2020 c-ville.com

PVC has been a reliable progressive talk radio voice on Charlottesville’s airwaves since 2015. But on June 17, the low-frequency station went off the air. Michigan-based corporation Saga Communications has reshaped the Charlottesville radio landscape in recent months—Saga has laid off staff from the local stations they own, and filed legal petitions to shut down competition.

When Jeff Lenert started WPVC, “the whole idea in developing the radio station was to turn it on and pass the mic to people to let them tell their stories,” he says.

WPVC had Black Lives Matter organizers on in April 2017, one of the first local outlets to do so, says Lenert. The station also offered the area’s only Spanish-language programming.

“So many people are asking why,” says Mindy Acosta, who hosted a show in Spanish.

“It’s very sad. We tried to give information to the people.”

Last year, Saga petitioned the FCC to shut down WPVC and four other low-frequency radio stations in Charlottesville. The petition alleged the five small stations’ underwriting amounted to commercials, which is forbidden for non-commercial broadcasters.

Lenert says his lawyer assured him the petition wouldn’t stick. But legal bills—combined with threats from “neo-Confederates” to Lenert’s underwriters—spelled doom for the small station.

“We generated $1,048 last month in underwriting revenue,” says Lenert. “How [does Saga] know I exist? Am I taking away their money?”

Saga announced June 18 that it was temporarily suspending its quarterly cash

dividend, a sign that it’s eyeing further acquisitions. “By preserving the company’s cash position, the company believes market conditions may present attractive acquisition opportunities,” says a Saga statement.

Lenert predicts that during the next FCC filing window for frequencies, Saga will try to take over 94.7.

Meanwhile, over at the Saga-owned Charlottesville Radio Group, six people were unceremoniously shown the door, including some of the stations’ best-known personalities.

The Corner’s Jeff Sweatman was given the ax March 20 while his morning show was still on the air, although he says “no comment” when asked about the manner of his ouster.

Adam Rondeau, co-host of country WCVL’s “Brondeau Show,” was given his pink slip April 15. His co-host, Bryan Shine, decided to depart as well. “The decision to leave was because they weren’t investing in the station and they weren’t investing in the community,” says Shine.

“They make money hand over fist,” he adds.

“Big Greasy Breakfast” host Max Hoecker had been with the Rose Hill Drive stations since 1989, when they were locally owned by Eure Communications, and on 3WV since 1992. He got pulled into the general manager’s office June 5, told the “Big Greasy Breakfast” was no more—it’s been replaced with a syndicated show— and sent on his way.

And Rob Schilling’s local WINA talk radio show has been sliced in half to one hour.

Last fall (pre-pandemic), the company canned operations manager and WINA morning host Rick Daniels, who worked there for more than 30 years. And longtime WINA morning co-host Jane Foy learned

THE POWER ISSUE

Every year, C-VILLE publishes a power issue. It’s usually a rundown of local real-estate moguls and entrepreneurs, tech tycoons, arts leaders, and big donors. This year’s issue is a little different—most of the people and groups listed here aren’t the richest folks in town. They don’t own the most land, they don’t run the biggest companies. But when things got really rocky, they stepped up, and exercised the power they do have to help those around them. This isn’t a comprehensive or objective list, of course, but we hope it highlights some of the many different forms that power can take in a community like ours. | BY DA N G O F F, B R I E L L E E N TZ M I NG E R , A N D B E N H I TC H CO C K |

THE SUSTAINERS

C’ville Mutual Aid Infrastructure

Local activist Myra Anderson has been heavily involved with the C’ville Mutual Aid Infrastructure Facebook page. She also provides area residents with homemade face masks and mental health tools, as well as other crucial resources and information.

THE REPORTER

Through his work as a Digital Humanities Fellow at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and as a reporter for multiple local news outlets, journalist Jordy Yager addresses equity or the lack thereof in all its forms. This is showcased most notably in his Mapping Cville project, which takes on the enormous job of documenting Charlottesville’s history of racially restrictive housing deeds, but also through in-depth coverage of Home to Hope, a program dedicated to reintegrating formerly incarcerated citizens into society, and other studies on the redevelopment of Friendship Court and the day-to-day lives of refugees. Yager’s also extremely active on Twitter, retweeting the content of community organizers as well as his own work, and keeping his followers up to date on, well, almost everything.—D.G.

THE INNOVATOR

JOHN ROBINSON

June 24 – 30, 2020 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

One of the most heartwarming nationwide responses to COVID-19, and all of the difficulties that came with it, was the widespread creation of mutual aid networks.

Charlottesville joined the trend in March, creating a Facebook page for community members to request or offer “time, money, support, and resources.” Since it was launched, the page has gained hundreds of followers, and posts have ranged from pleas for a place to sleep to the donation of a half-used Taco Bell gift card. The page’s moderators have also shared resources such as a continually updated list of when and where food-insecure community members can access pantries.

Though it came about through dire circumstances, the C’ville Mutual Aid Infrastructure network is proof that our community looks after its own.—D.G.

Jay Pun

All restaurant owners have had to get creative to keep their businesses alive during the pandemic, but almost no one has been as creative as Jay Pun, co-owner of both Chimm and Thai Cuisine and Noodle House.

Pun has gone further than just a pickup/delivery model by starting a virtual cooking series on Instagram and Facebook Live, and selling kits to be used in tandem with the lessons. He’s also donated significant amounts of food to UVA health workers, and most recently has brought other Thai restaurants into the conversation: A recent discussion with the proprietor of famed Portland institution Pok Pok focused on food, but also touched on the issue of race in America.—D.G.

THE MUSICIANS

15 Eze Amos is among the photographers who have been taking pictures of Charlottesville-area residents outside their homes.

The Front Porch As most concert venues were struggling to reschedule shows and refund ticket money, The Front Porch, Charlottesville’s beloved music school and performing space, wasted no time in pivoting to COVID-friendly programming. Executive Director Emily Morrison quickly set up Save the Music, a livestreamed concert series that brings performances by local artists like David Wax Museum and Lowland Hum to the comfort and safety of your home. If you haven’t tuned in yet, there’s still plenty of time—as the city tentatively reopens, Morrison recognizes that live music will likely be one of the last things to return, so she’s extended Save the Music to late August.—D.G.

THE SUPERHEROES

After Governor Ralph Northam issued his stay-at-home order in March, most Charlottesvillians did just that: stayed at home. But the city’s essential workers didn’t have that luxury. In the language of Northam’s executive order, these are employees of “businesses not required to close to the public.” Frontline workers’ jobs vary widely, from health care professionals to grocery store cashiers, but they all have one thing in common: The people who do them are required to put on their scrubs or their uniform and go into their physical place of employment every day, while the rest of us work from the safety of our sofa in a pair of sweatpants. Their reality is one that the majority of us haven’t experienced—and the least we can do is thank these workers for keeping our city running.—D.G.

THE DOCUMENTERS

C’ville Porchraits How do we preserve art and community during a pandemic? It’s been a question addressed by many creatives, perhaps none more successfully than the creators of Cville Porch Portraits. Headed by Eze Amos, the “porchrait” takers, who have photographed 950 families outside their Charlottesville-area homes, also include Tom Daly, Kristen Finn, John Robinson, and Sarah Cramer Shields—all local photographers in need of work once the city shut down. The group has donated $40,000 to Charlottesville’s Emergency Relief Fund for Artists. “This is for everyone,” says Amos of the project, which has been successfully emulated by other photogs, including Robert Radifera.—D.G.

Before COVID, over 6,000 students relied on our public schools for free (or reduced price) breakfast and lunch. To make sure no student has gone hungry since schools closed in March, Charlottesville City Schools and Albemarle County Public Schools have given away thousands of grab-andgo breakfasts and lunches to anyone under age 18, regardless of family income. With the help of school staff and volunteers, both districts have set up dozens of food distribution sites, as well as sent buses out on delivery routes every week.

During spring break, when CCS was unable to distribute food, Pearl Island Catering and Mochiko Cville—backed by the Food Justice Network and area philanthropists Diane and Howie Long— stepped up and provided 4,000 meals to kids in neighborhoods with large numbers enrolled in free and reduced-price meal programs. Even though students are now on summer break, that hasn’t slowed down staff and volunteers, who are still hard at work—both districts plan to keep the free meal programs going until the fall.—B.E.

There’s a revolution brewing. Activists all over the country and the world are taking a stand against police brutality, and Charlottesville is no different. Our city’s Black Lives Matter chapter has mobilized members of the community, and over the last few weeks, the organization has drawn thousands of protesters to several demonstrations, including a march from the Charlottesville Police Department to Washington Park and a Defund the Police Block Party in the John Paul Jones Arena parking lot.

The organization uses its platform to uplift similarly minded groups, such as Congregate Charlottesville and its AntiRacist Organizing Fund, and to voice its own demands, which include heavy reform of the police department. BLM’s hard work is starting to pay off—on June 11, Charlottesville City Schools announced it will remove school resource officers and reallocate those funds for a new “school safety model.”—D.G.

THE REFORMERS

Commonwealth’s attorneys/ AlbemarleCharlottesville Regional Jail

Volunteers at The Haven continue to provide regular services, including daily to-go meals, to the downtown day shelter’s guests.

ZACK WAJSGRAS

The area’s commonwealth’s attorneys are some of the most powerful people you might never have heard of. During normal times, Albemarle’s Jim Hingeley and Charlottesville’s Joe Platania have tremendous influence over sentencing decisions for those on trial in their localities. They’ve both worked toward progressive reforms since taking office, but since the pandemic took hold, they’ve accelerated their efforts.

The effect has been especially pronounced at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Under the guidance of the commonwealth’s attorneys and Jail Superintendent Martin Kumer, around 90 inmates have been transferred to house arrest. As prisons across the state have fought coronavirus outbreaks, the ACRJ has yet to report a single case among those incarcerated.

“It’s a shame that it took this crisis to motivate the community to get behind decarceration,” Hingeley said at a panel in May, “but it’s happened now, and when the crisis has passed, we’re going to work to continue doing this.”—B.H.

THE SAFE PLACES

The Haven and PACEM

Jim Hingeley ELLI WILLIAMS

Since the onset of the pandemic, the places that serve some of our community’s most vulnerable members have ramped up their efforts to keep guests and staff safe. Downtown day shelter The Haven has opened its doors to women who needed a place to sleep, while also continuing to provide its regular services, including daily to-go meals, with cleanliness and social distancing measures in place.

PACEM has remained open, serving more than 40 people per night, even though its volunteer staff is smaller than usual. Guests are screened for virus symptoms, and they’re given face masks, among other safety precautions, before being admitted to either the men’s or women’s shelter, where there’s at least six feet between every cot. Though it had to move its male guests out of a temporary space at Key Recreation Center on June 10, PACEM will offer shelter for women at Summit House until at least the end of the month.

Thanks to funding from the city, county, and a private donor, PACEM has also housed 30 high-risk homeless individuals in private rooms at a local hotel, in addition to providing them with daily meals and case management. Men who still need shelter after leaving Key Rec have been able to stay at the hotel for at least 30 days.—B.E.

THE VOICES

EZE AMOS

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Activist Zyahna Bryant recently tweeted her resignation from UVA’s President’s Council on University Community Partnerships.

“Twitter isn’t real life,” some say. (Most often, they say it on Twitter.) But Charlottesville’s evergrowing group of dedicated tweeters has recently used the platform to make real-life change.

The synergy between social media and protest is well-documented, and the demonstrations against police brutality that have taken place across town have been organized and publicized on Twitter, as well as on other social media platforms. Meanwhile, people like Matthew Gillikin, Rory Stolzenberg, and Sarah Burke have used Twitter to call out the police department for botching its collaboration with state forces and dragging its heels on revealing important budget details. And Molly “@socialistdogmom” Conger—perhaps Charlottesville Twitter’s most recognizable avatar—continues to digest and interpret dense city government meetings for the public, making real-life advocacy easier for everyone.

The effect is felt on UVA Grounds, as well—this month, tweeters shamed the university into changing its new athletics logo to remove a reference to the school’s historic serpentine walls, which were designed to conceal enslaved laborers. After UVA abruptly laid off its dining hall contract employees in March, outraged tweeters raised tens of thousands of dollars for those workers, while pushing the university to create an emergency contract worker assistance fund. And recently, Zyahna Bryant drew attention to UVA President Jim Ryan’s limp response to the protests that followed the death of George Floyd, when she tweeted her resignation from the school’s President’s Council on University Community Partnerships. Keep tweeting, people. It’s working.—B.H.

Chilled out

By Paul H. Ting living@c-ville.com

“The one-two punch of sales plummeting and ‘farming for free’ is going to hurt many across the state, leaving some to close their doors willingly or unwillingly,” LEE HARTMAN, BLUESTONE VINEYARD

A late-spring freeze may be the reason there’s no fruit at the finish line for many area wineries.

damage primarily in vineyard areas planted with chardonnay and petit manseng. Kirsty Harmon at Blenheim Vineyards, had varying degrees of damage. “We have had damage to our vines in the lower spots in the vineyard... based on elevation and where the cold air was not able to keep moving. Some blocks in those areas have been completely wiped out.”

With very little fruit from which to make wine, Hartman hints at an uneasiness perhaps shared by many, “The one-two punch of sales plummeting and ‘farming for free’ is going to hurt many across the state, leaving some to close their doors willingly or unwillingly,” he says. “We’ll see a boom of wineries buying out of state fruit…a fear I have is that many wineries might [decide to buy wine every year]. And that would lead to a loss of identity and a loss of value to Virginia grapes and farms.”

Yet, there is clearly hope that is buttressed by both a high-quality, productive 2019 vin-

tage and the very strong consumer support that’s been evident during months of winery closures and social distancing. Blevins, for whom the 2019 vintage was her first as a head winemaker, says they have “absolutely beautiful 2019 wines aging in the cellar that will help keep us going.” Hartman too says there is plenty of wine to be sold: “Our biggest saving grace currently is our inventory…So maybe your best defense in a bad year is to make too much in a good year.”

According to Busching, customer support of the industry has been “heard and appreciated more than folks imagine.” Robust consumer support is undeniably a very positive indicator. Barnard is adamant that 2020 represents only a small setback for an industry with strong forward momentum, “We have never faced anything like this before, but we are resilient and we will get through this, I am positive that better days and months are ahead of us.”

ineries everywhere are facing unprecedented challenges as they have been forced to adapt business models and get creative during the COVID-19 outbreak. Local wineries were presented with an additional threat in the form of weather. A warmer than average winter brought early grape budding. This can be good, because it provides more time for ripening later in the season. However, it also brings risk, and these buds were exposed to multiple spring frosts capped off by a polar vortex during Mother’s Day weekend. This last event brought more than frost, in some areas it brought temperatures well below freezing, which damaged and killed nascent grape buds.

There are a variety of techniques used to protect vineyards when cold is expected.

Stephen Barnard, winemaker at Keswick Vineyards, says they use “burn piles, wind machines, drain machines, and irrigation” to keep warmer air circulating. Some wineries even fly helicopters in hopes of bringing warmer air down to the ground. Of course, this requires labor and money, and many simply don’t have the resources to do much more than watch and pray.

Others rely on the specific characteristics of their vineyards to protect the vines from cold.

Lee Hartman, winemaker at Bluestone Vineyard, says they planted vines on a hill “with our earlier breaking varieties at the top so cold air can drain away,” and Emily Pelton, winemaker at Veritas Vineyard & Winery, explains that “typically our elevation protects” from cold weather. But, Pelton expects that Veritas will harvest slightly more than half of what it initially projected this year. “You can clearly see that the biggest influence here was elevation,” she says. “Low spots were completely toasted, with 100 percent of shoots affected. As you move up the hill towards the top at about 950 feet, you start to see less and less damage.”

The problem with relying on the movement of warm air to protect the vineyard comes when you simply run out of warm air to move. Jake Busching of Hark Vineyards and Jake Busching Wines says with a freeze, even closed buds can be killed. “Prior to May 10, the frosts we had experienced were marginal, with losses to maybe a 30 percent loss.

However, on May 10, we experienced a freeze, which is significantly different from a frost.”

Busching estimates that Hark experienced a loss of 95 percent of its potential fruit for the 2020 vintage. This represents approximately 3,200 cases of production and vanished sales. Unfortunately, this tale of severe damage is repeated by many others. Chelsey Blevins, winemaker at Fifty-third Winery & Vineyard, says her entire Louisa site, and approximately 80 percent of the winery’s sister vineyard site located in Free Union, is lost.

Tyler Maddox, vineyard manager for Fifty-third, explained on social media that, while it’s good news that the vines themselves survived, keeping the vineyard healthy requires the same amount of labor and investment even without the reward of fruit at the finish. This can be particularly demanding for smaller operations that are already financially challenged by coronavirus.

Certainly, not every winery experienced the same degree of damage. Maya Hood White, associate winemaker and viticulturist at Early Mountain Vineyards, reports that Early Mountain “for the most part got very lucky” with

o say that Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods is ripped from the headlines is to give those headlines too much credit. Filming wrapped last summer, but the movie is more rooted in this moment than the latest breaking stories. Even its flashbacks have more to say about the present than the 24-hour news networks.

Like in his previous two works, Chi-Raq and BlacKkKlansman, Lee tears apart any notion that fiction should be separate from the world around us. He’s as much a political tactician as he is a cinematic technician. Lee isn’t just asking important questions. He’s demanding immediate action.

Fifty years after serving together in Vietnam as part of the 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One), four African American veterans reunite in Ho Chi Minh City to fulfill a promise to their fallen commander, “Stormin’” Norman (Chadwick Boseman).

The survivors are Paul (Delroy Lindo), Otis (Clarke Peters), Eddie (Norm Lewis), and Melvin (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.).

The promise is more than just symbolic: While on duty, the Bloods, as they call themselves, buried gold deep in the jungle to be retrieved after the war. At the time, Norman framed it as part of the struggle for reparations and black liberation, but back home, the years have not been equally kind to the Bloods. The love was never lost, particularly for Norman, and the bonds of shared war experience cannot be erased, but circum-

stances beyond their control force them to decide if they’re in this for each other or for themselves.

Everything you’ve heard about Lindo’s bravura performance as Paul is true. For decades, Lindo has been a familiar face portraying memorable characters in excellent films, but we’ve never seen him like this. We meet Paul as the MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporter who is the least comfortable returning. He is the quickest to anger and paranoia, whether aimed at the Vietnamese people they encounter or his fellow Bloods.

His rage is free-floating, looking for somewhere to attach itself. He is certain that he is not getting his fair share in life.

Lee has always been eager to have villains espouse the political beliefs of people he hates, as when David Duke (Topher Grace) all but quotes Trump directly in BlacKkKlansman, but Lee loves Paul and wants us to do the same. He believes that this man has been robbed of his chance at happiness.

Though Lee does go for Trump, Paul is not

Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods follows the reunion of Vietnam veterans trying to locate gold they buried in the jungle during the war.

film, but if it had been produced as written, we never would have had the immediacy of Da 5 Bloods. The film opens with archival footage of Muhammad Ali questioning why he should fight when the Vietnamese are not the ones subjecting him to racism. When a Blood, who fought for rights that he did not have at home, comes into conflict with a Vietnamese person who lost family in the war, there is no resolution. Both have a shared history of colonization, yet were pushed into conflict by forces that did not treat either as human beings. Everyone’s lives were deeply affected by the war, but no one’s was improved. The memories remain, sometimes as PTSD, sometimes as landmines. The war does not end when the last shot is fired. It remains with everyone it touched.

Da 5 Bloods is not just a war film or a story about these particular men. This is America put under a microscope in the sun, and we need to understand what we’re looking at before it all catches fire.

a punching bag to attack his supporters. He can’t stand Paul’s candidate, but he feels Paul’s pain.

Lindo steals the show, but the entire ensemble is excellent. The flashbacks of the five Bloods before Norman’s death show all the actors at their current age; we’re not seeing what happened, but how the events live on in their minds. The lighting, emotional music, and narrowing aspect ratio in these scenes show how Norman is a legend in their minds—Boseman, who made his name depicting historical figures and superheroes, is a perfect choice.

Bolstering the emotional, sociological, and artistic achievements of Da 5 Bloods is the way it contextualizes things we may already know but fail to understand. This can be minor, such as using “We don’t need no stinking…” from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre as more than homage, signaling the true narrative and political sentiment of foreign invaders having the gall to demand identification from the local population.

This can be major, as when we hear the conversations between Viet Cong soldiers before they’re ambushed. They’re humans with their own story, not just obstacles for the heroes. Context also factors into radio broadcasts from Hanoi Hannah, the famous radio propagandist, portrayed here by Veronica Ngo during the flashbacks. She is the enemy, but the things she says about the state of black Americans to demoralize U.S. troops are accurate. Her intentions are not honest, but if what she says is true, does that make her wrong?

Da 5 Bloods began as a script by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo, the pair most famous for The Rocketeer, and was to be directed by Oliver Stone before Lee and co-writer Kevin Willmott took over. It was then that the perspective shifted to that of the black veterans. One can imagine the story as a straightforward adventure/thriller, with four men who never fully left the war behind them. That sounds like a fine

By Rob Brezsny

Leo

Cancer

(July 23-Aug. 22): Qabalistic teacher Ann Davies asked, “If you stick your finger in the fire, do you then complain that it is unfair when your finger gets burned? Do you call the fire bad?” I offer you this caution, Leo, because I want to encourage you not to stick your fingers or toes or any other parts of you into the fire during the coming weeks.

And I’m happy to inform you that there are better approaches to finding out what’s important to learn about the fire. The preferred way is to watch the fire keenly and patiently from a modest distance. If you do so long enough, you’ll get all you need.

(June 21-July 22): “Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant?” Author Diane Ackerman asks her readers that question, and now I pose the same inquiry to you—just in time for your Season of Transformation. “We are all shape-shifters and magical reinventors,” Ackerman says. I will add that you Cancerians now have the potential to be exceptional shape-shifters and magical reinventors. What new amazements might you incorporate into your life?

What dazzling twists and twinkles would you like to add to your character? What will the future you be like? that is physically impossible to perform. Everything else is potentially vitalizing and holy.

No one knows this better than you Scorpios.

You’re the champions of exotic pleasure; the connoisseurs of blissful marvels; the masters of curious delight and extraordinary exultation. And from an astrological perspective, the coming weeks will be a time when these aspects of your character could be especially vivid. But wait a minute. What about the pandemic? What about social-distancing?

What about being cautious in seeking intimate connection? If anyone can work around these constraints so as to have sexual fun, it’s your tribe. Use your imagination!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In accordance with upcoming astrological portents, I urge you to engage in a vigorous redefinition of the term “miracle.” That will open you up to the full range of miraculous phenomena that are potentially available in the coming weeks. For inspiration, read this passage by Faith Baldwin: “Miracles are everyday things. Not only sudden great fortune wafting in on a new wind. They are almost routine, yet miracles just the same. Every time something hard becomes easier; every time you adjust to a situation which, last week, you didn’t know existed; every time a kindness falls as softly as the dew; or someone you love who was ill grows better; every time a blessing comes, not with trumpet and fanfare, but silently as night, you have witnessed a miracle.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 22 years old, Sagittarian-born Werner Heisenberg received his doctorate in physics and mathematics from a German university—even though he got a grade of C on his final exams. Nine years later, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics because of his pioneering work on quantum mechanics. What happened in between? One key development: He was mentored by physicists Niels Bohr and Max Born, both of whom also garnered Nobel Prizes.

Another factor in his success was his association with other brilliant colleagues working in his field. I hope this story inspires you Sagittarians to be on the lookout for catalytic teachers and colleagues who can expedite your evolution. The planetary omens are favorable for such an eventuality.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Libras become authoritative enough to wield clout in their own sphere of influence, it’s often due to three factors: 1. the attractive force of their empathy; 2. their abilities to listen well and ask good questions, which help enable them to accurately read people’s emotional energy; 3. their knack for knowing specific tricks that promote harmony and a common sense of purpose. If you possess any of these talents, dear Libra, the next eight weeks will be a favorable time to employ them with maximum intensity and ingenuity and integrity. You’re primed to acquire and wield more leverage.

Capricorn

(Oct. 23-Nov.21): There is only one kind of erotic intimacy between consenting adults that can truly be called “unnatural”: an act

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Novelist Tom Robbins articulated a vision of what it means to be bold and brave. He said, “Real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness.” I’m hoping you will make that formula your keynote in the coming weeks. The time is right for you to summon extra amounts of fortitude, determination, and audacity. What new possibilities are you ready to flesh out in ways that might prod you to revise your beliefs and welcome transformation and expand your awareness?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Joan of Arc performed her heroic and magical feats in 1430 and 1431. But she wasn’t canonized as a saint until 1920—almost five centuries later. It took a while to garner the full appreciation she deserved. I’m sure you won’t have to wait as long to be acknowledged for your good deeds and fine creations, Pisces. In fact, from what I can tell, there’ll be a significant honor, enhancement, or reward coming your way sometime in the next four months. Start visualizing what you’d like it to be, and set your intention to claim it.

Aries (March 21-April 19): In addition to being a magnificent storyteller, Aries author Barbara Kingsolver raises chickens at her home.

“There are days when I am envious of my

hens,” she writes, “when I hunger for a purpose as perfect and sure as a single daily egg.”

Do you ever experience that delightful rush of assurance, Aries? I suspect that you’re likely to do so on multiple occasions in the coming weeks. And if you are indeed visited by visions of a perfect and sure purpose, your next task will be to initiate practical action to manifest it in the real world.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Nobel Prize-winning Taurus physicist Richard Feynman got his undergraduate degree from MIT and his Ph.D. from Princeton University. Later, he taught at Caltech. But his approach to education had a maverick quality. “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent, and original manner possible,” he advised his students. I think his strategy will work well for you in the coming weeks, which will be a favorable time to gather valuable information and polish your existing aptitudes.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “You’re entering a phase when you’ll have the potential to upgrade and fine-tune your relationship with money. In the hope of encouraging that prospect, I offer you the counsel of author Katharine Butler Hathaway. “To me, money is alive,” she wrote. “It is almost human. If you treat it with real sympathy and kindness and consideration, it will be a good servant and work hard for you, and stay with you and take care of you.” I hope you’ll consider cultivating that approach, dear Gemini: expressing benevolence and love toward money, and pledging to be benevolent and loving as you use the money you acquire.

How has 2020 made you re-evaluate your responsibility to others?

It has made me more aware of our responsibility to each other. I hope I can follow through on this deepened understanding.

LOUISE HEA SMITH/FACEBOOK

The military teaches you responsibility to others and theirs to you, every day. Reinstate the draft and you will see.

How about C-VILLE Weekly answers— since you let most of your staff go with no notice.

2020 has reinforced a foundational concept that I learned the hard way during my overseas deployments—we’re all part of the same global community. The things you choose to do—or not do—affect everyone else. Use that knowledge to make the world better, not worse.

All living organisms are interdependent. From environmental concerns to pandemics and social justice, we are all in this together. If members of the community are sick—all are at risk. A polluted river crosses many villages. There is no such thing as being healthy and thriving in isolation.

Sooner or later you will need to go out, you will need food, services, etc. The pandemic has shown us that we need each other to survive.

YOUR PLACE. OUR PURPOSE.

originally from Spain, Andrés has been a tireless advocate for immigration reform and on July 4, 2014 was named by President Barack Obama as that year’s Outstanding American by Choice.

Constitutional rights and national unity advocate and Gold Star parent, Khizr Khan, gave the keynote address at the 57th Annual Independence Day Celebration and Naturalization Ceremony at Monticello last year, before a crowd of nearly 2,000 people, including nearly 80 about to become America’s newest citizens.

Brooklyn-born, but Ireland-raised, bestselling author Frank McCourt delivered a self-described “bad, short speech” in 2002, delighting the crowd with his memories of the New York skyline as seen from the ship bringing him back to America. His tongue-rolling delight in words like “lingerie” and “spaghetti” (themselves immigrants but now fully naturalized specimens of American English) was also an audience hit.

Let’s look at a few excerpts from recent Monticello addresses to new American citizens, their families, friends, and assembled well-wishers.

Celebrating

INDEPENDENCE DAY: A Monticello Tradition

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

I

t’s a bit ironic that so many inspiring words have been uttered at the home of a man known for his reticence as a public speaker. But when the home was built (by the man who penned the document that gave voice to our country’s Declaration of Independence from unjust and unrepresentative rule) the setting couldn’t have been more appropriate.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” Thomas Jefferson wrote, and who among us can almost hear, if not recite verbatim, the rest of his profound and eloquent sentence? “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

This shining affirmation and statement of principles has drawn men and women across the globe to our shores, and every year on July 4 a few dozen of them take the Oath of Naturalization on the West Lawn of Monticello and join us as American citizens.

BY KEN WILSON

Of course, the actual date on which the country’s thirteen original colonies officially separated from Great Britain was July 2, 1776, not July 4. “The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America,” future president John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail. “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.

It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Adams was a prophet—but he was off by two days. That’s because the Declaration of Independence, after debate and revision, was not approved until July Fourth.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke at the first Monticello Independence Day celebration, in 1936, President Harry S. Truman was next, in 1947.

Since 1963, when the Prime Minister of Australia, Sir Robert Menzies addressed the crowd, ceremonies have been an annual event.

The speaker for this year’s virtual ceremony is internationally renowned chef José Andrés. Twice named to Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People list and recipient of the 2015 National Humanities Medal, Andrés is a culinary innovator, New York Times best-selling author, educator, humanitarian, and chef and owner of ThinkFoodGroup, a collective of nearly thirty restaurants throughout the country and beyond.

In 2010, Andrés founded World Central Kitchen (WCK), a non-profit specializing in delivering food relief in the wake of natural and humanitarian disasters. Notably, his team served 3.7 million meals to the people of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria and has since served many more in response to the COVID19 pandemic. WCK has partnered with restaurants, small farms, and local governments around the country to combat food insecurity. A naturalized U.S. citizen

Gold Star Parent and Constitutional Rights Advocate KhIzr Khan, 2019 “I first read the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1972 when I was a law student in Pakistan, I was then and even today remain in awe of the spirit of this blessed nation.

“Having compared our Constitution with other nations of the world, I state, there is none like ours, our Rule of Law, our Separation of Power, our Checks and Balances, not perfect but with most human dignities enshrined in these American values—the Constitutions of other countries grant their people what their government decides they deserve but ours is ‘We the People,’ we tell the government what it can do … read the first five words of the our First Amendment …‘Congress shall make no laws …’ a telling of American spirit.”

Singer-songwriter Dave Matthews, 2013 “There is the America of our forefathers who signed the incredibly important Declaration of Independence. And there is the America that enslaved half a million men, women, and children at the very time the Declaration of Independence was signed. Many of those who signed that document themselves owned slaves.

Thomas, the great Thomas Jefferson, the brilliant Thomas Jefferson, among them.

“We are a nation of immigrants. Our future history belongs to you as much as to anyone. This is the America of jazz and the blues and rock ‘n’ roll and the civil rights movement and putting a man on the moon and of the atomic bomb. This is the America of a complicated history.”

Author and Director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics Larry Sabato, 2016 “There are as many ways to produce a legacy as there are people on the grounds of Monticello today. Since I’m the speaker, naturally I’m going to recommend

laration of Independence—a document which eloquently and memorably told the world why this new country had to be created, and what this new country was to be all about.”

Architect I.M. Pei, 2005 “The first time I was acquainted with Thomas Jefferson was when I was in school, studying architecture. And, of course, Monticello was everywhere. And yet Jefferson was not an architect. And that amazed me.

“So I can’t claim to know too much about Jefferson, because there are so many Jefferson scholars here today. But I can tell you that back in the 1930s, in the late ’30s, I read a book—I don’t find it anymore – describing Jefferson’s travels in France. There he studied not just architecture, which he knew better than all of us, but he was also interested in food and wine. Ah, there is a man of culture. Ever since then he has been in my heart.”

Author Frank McCourt, 2002 “Nobody told me anything when I came here. If I were you, wherever you are, the first thing you should do for yourself and your children is to find out where is the nearest public library, and go there. I can assure you; it will be air-conditioned!

“Take your children to that public library, and let them go around and

KNOWLEDGE EXPERIENCE CUSTOMER SERVICE Here’s what Ginger’s clients are saying about her: “We can not thank Ginger enough for all she has done for us, both professionally, and as a friend. I’m sure there are lots of good realtors out there, but if Ginger is your standard (as in quality standard) then most likely you will not find another realtor that matches up or even comes close.”

- Mike and Lisa S. “Ginger is the epitome of professionalism with her focus always being on fulfilling the needs of her customer. Her listening skills are remarkable, as she not only listens to what is being said but what is not being said. She makes sure you are finished with your “wish” list before asking highly pertinent questions to ensure she understands what you want” - Wendy M. “Real estate transactions are too significant, too complex and too subject to outside uncontrollable forces to not have Ginger in your corner!”

look at the books and look at the pictures. There’s one thing I’ve discovered, in American libraries, the librarians are very kind people, and they want you to use the library. If I were you, I’d go and find the local history of wherever you live.

Let your children know about Virginia because it’s such a rich state historically and culturally, and it’s beautiful.

“Let the children discover this. And then let your children discover the music.

You’ll be bringing your own music, and that will enrich American music. For when you think of what you can get from American music-the blues, the spirituals, the jazz, hip, hop, rap, and classical American music from people like Duke Ellington and Aaron Copland!

“I envy you. I wish I were you because you have so much to look forward to, and your children have so much to look forward to. Thank you for becoming American citizens, and welcome!”

Exemplary Citizens

Businessman and Philanthropist David Rubenstein, 2014 “The house behind me was designed patiently, with great care and precision, over the course of an adult lifetime, by a Renaissance man the likes of which our country had never seen before, or has seen since, or is likely to ever see again.

“That Renaissance man was, of course, Thomas Jefferson, an amateur but highly skilled architect, philosopher, scientist, inventor, agronomist, bibliophile, vintner, educator, musician, linguist, and even creator of his own version of the Bible.

“Fortunately, all of those diverse pursuits and skills did not come at the expense of Thomas Jefferson’s not inconsequential day jobs—Governor of Virginia, Secretary of State, Vice-President of the United States, President of the United States, and—more importantly in Jefferson’s view—Founder of the University of Virginia.

“But all of those skills and accomplishments—impressive as they are—probably would not have brought us together today. For it was another skill and another accomplishment of Jefferson’s that has actually brought us here on the 4th of July. Jefferson was an elegant, creative, and gifted writer—and that is apparent to anyone who has read even a few of the more than 18,000 of Jefferson’s letters which survive today.

“This elegance is perhaps most visible in a document that Jefferson crafted near the end of June in 1776—the Dec-

my favorite: Politics. (You knew this was coming, surely.)

“I realize politics has a terrible reputation. Mention the word, and dark visions of corruption, bribery, and smoke-filled rooms are conjured up. I’ll grant you; the current presidential campaign certainly hasn’t helped the reputation of politics. How I would love to offer you some pointed commentary on that subject and our current candidates, but decorum on this day of unity prevents me. (Maybe at our picnic.)

“Here’s a revolutionary thought for your Fourth: Politics in America is a good and necessary thing. It’s the oil that greases the creaky machinery of government by encouraging responsiveness to public opinion. It’s the glue that binds together a nation of continental expanse and stunning diversity—unquestionably, the United States is the most diverse Republic on the face of the planet, as you here today prove, with concentrations on our shores of people from every other country around the globe.

“Without liberal application of politics, the centrifugal forces and the discord generated by diversity might rip apart the fabric of our society. Without skillful use of the political arts, how could we hope to make our system work when power is divided in so many ways, vertically with layers of national, state, and local governments, and horizontally with the separated powers of Congress, President, and Supreme Court?

“Politics is simply the means we use to make our nation work, and to make our states and communities better places to live.”
