It’s a well-known horror story at this point: The QAnon-spewing, Trump-loving set of cousins shows up for Thanksgiving, and after an hour of judiciously steering the conversation towards turkey and football, someone mentions Colin Kaepernick, or the Civil War, or the police, and all hell breaks loose.

That’s not how my family works. Even if you include a kooky uncle here or there, the right flank of my family is comprised of Biden supporters. We all agree on most of the big stuff.

Before long, someone’ll be shouting at the top of their lungs about Medicare, and the gravy boat will have been flung across the room.

In the coming years, American liberals and progressives will continue to have heated debates over the Democratic party’s goals and methods. Next week, Dems in Charlottesville and Virginia will head to the polls to vote in a handful of important party primaries.

City Council pauses proposed parking garage

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

A

fter years of heated debate and public backlash, Charlottesville City Council seems to have decided to shelve a proposed multi-million dollar downtown parking garage, opting to explore cheaper—and potentially greener—options.

During a May 25 work session, the councilors discussed how the city should fulfill a 2018 promise to provide 90 parking spots to Albemarle County courthouse employees. Because of a perceived parking shortage, the county had previously considered moving its courts out of the city.

The proposed 300-space garage would be located at the corner of Ninth and Market streets, the current home of Lucky 7 and Guadalajara Mexican restaurant.

Ninety spots on the ground level would be reserved for county court employees and visitors during regular court hours, while the rest of the garage would be available to the public. It was expected to cost a whopping $11.3 million.

But there are several other ways the city could keep up its end of the deal, explained Director of Economic Development Chris Engel during the meeting. The city could instead construct a smaller parking garage with 140 to 200 spaces at the same proposed location, costing an estimated $6 to $8 million. Or to drastically reduce costs, it could build an approximately $1 million surface lot with 30 to 40 spaces.

Though the proposed surface lot would still require the city to set aside parking spaces for the county at an additional location, councilors agreed that it was the safest option, in light of the abundant parking already available downtown.

“I haven’t seen a lot of data to back up [the idea] that there is a severe parking shortage,” said Councilor Michael Payne.

“Even before COVID, there were always spaces available in the Water Street garage when the Market Street garage was full.” “[Market Street Garage] only reaches peak capacity occasionally during midday on weekdays, so we’re spending $15 million to address a problem that exists for a couple of hours, which could always be resolved by someone going to the Water Street garage,” he added. “That’s in addition to all of these other private spaces.”

Payne also urged the rest of council to find a way to build the surface lot without demolishing Guadalajara and Lucky 7, which would only add eight parking spaces.

Councilor Lloyd Snook emphasized how the pandemic has reduced downtown parking demand. Many employees continue to work from home, and may do so permanently.

Charlottesville City Council is considering a 30- to 40-space surface lot downtown instead of an $11.3 million parking garage with 300 spaces.

“Particularly at a time where we have a lot of crunch in our capital budget, it seems to be a good time to not commit to spending that money,” said Snook.

Mayor Nikuyah Walker added that rideshare, along with diverting people from the criminal justice system when possible, should be a priority for the city and county.

While Councilor Heather Hill agreed that the pandemic could have a lasting impact on downtown parking, she pointed out that the 46-year-old Market Street garage would need to be replaced soon.

Regardless of parking demand, City Manager Chip Boyles said the county still needs 90 spaces for the new joint general district courthouse, but would likely be open to alternatives to the proposed garage, such as designated surface parking.

During public comment, local residents echoed council’s concerns over the garage, especially given that the city has promised to drastically cut down on carbon emissions over the next decade. “[Data] strongly suggests that with better parking management, there’s all the parking we need downtown,” said Jamelle Bouie.

“Do we want our children or grandchildren to have a downtown Charlottesville that is dominated by looming parking structures, in a time that we know we’re transitioning away from car centric development?”

City Planning Commissioner Rory Stolzenberg pointed out that over 500 private parking spaces will be added downtown with projects like the Center of

Developing Entrepreneurs. Instead of building more parking, the city should incentivize more employees to park in the Water Street garage, he said.

However, several downtown business owners wanted to move forward with the 300-space garage, pointing to the parking spaces that have been or will be lost to projects like the Belmont Bridge replacement.

“This [garage] is going to replace the parking that’s being lost,” said Joan Fenton, owner of Quilts Unlimited and chair of the city parking advisory panel. “If you talk to any one of the [entertainment] venues, they’ll all say that they see the need for additional parking.”

Paramount Theater Executive Director Chris Eure said the venue recently sold out a comedy show within a few hours, proving “downtown will be coming back.”

“Frankly, hearing the conversation that the parking garage isn’t going to be built, it’s almost like a kick in the stomach after working so hard to remain open during this crisis and do what we can for the downtown area,” added Eure.

Construction on a parking lot must begin no later than May 1, 2022, and be completed by November 30, 2023. If council decides to scrap the project, the city must provide 100 spaces at Market Street garage to the county during court hours, or give it exclusive control over the surface parking lot currently at Seventh and Market streets.

Council will vote on an official resolution during its June 7 meeting.

Albemarle parents upset about fifth graders being transferred to COMMITTED TO middle school

By Brielle Entzminger

“Fifth graders, wherever they live in Albemarle County, should be given access to the same resources and experiences,” says parent Karl Shuve. “How is this equitable?”

Parents also accused the school district of intentionally shutting them out of the decision-making process. During a parent meeting with Mountain View’s principal on May 18, a discussion about the fifth graders was the last thing on the agenda.

And during last Wednesday’s community meeting about plans for the upcoming school year, parents claim the administration did little to ease their concerns.

“The county put together a propaganda piece,” says one teacher. “There is an absolute pattern of dismissive behavior for the parents here.”

Administrators have emphasized that the move would just be for one year, and a final decision will not be made until at least the end of June, when the district will have a better picture of what enrollment numbers look like for the fall.

“The school now is approaching 100 students over capacity [and] enrollment for the fall will be over projections once again,” explains Giaramita.

The district has set aside $6.2 million to add six classrooms to Mountain View, and plans to look into long-term solutions, like redistricting or building another school.

Parents say overcrowding has been an issue for a long time at the school as developments have grown across the county, and the district has been slow to act. They urge the school to consider adding trailers to the elementary school or moving the preschool to a different facility.

Parents would like superintendent Dr. Matt Haas and the rest of the administration to take responsibility for their mishandling of the situation too.

“They should at least say this is our mistake, and we’re asking fifth graders to pay for [it],” adds Shuve.

arlier this month, Jennifer McArtor went online to enroll her kids in Mountain View Elementary’s afterschool program for the upcoming school year, only to find out she could not register her rising fifth grader. Through another parent, she was surprised to learn that her daughter might be transferred to Walton Middle School, 10 minutes down the road.

Due to overcrowding at the elementary school, around 115 fifth graders could be sent to Walton in the fall. They’d be taught

by Mountain View teachers, but would ride buses with middle schoolers and follow a middle school schedule, which is two hours longer than an elementary school day.

Over the past two weeks, many parents in Albemarle County have called out the school district for its lack of com­ munication and transparency, and registered disapproval about the potential transfer to Walton.

“I don’t think 10-year-olds are [mature] enough to be in a school with middle school kids,” says McArtor, who is the president of the school’s Parent Teacher Organization.

“Their conversations are going to be vastly different from what a 10-year-old may be talking about.”

At Walton, parents fear their students will not have access to a playground or after-school care. They also may not have elementary-level guidance counselors, librarians, or teachers for electives like music and PE. The students will also miss out on being “leaders of their school,” says parent Justin Alicea, pointing to the various leadership positions available to fifth graders.

Additionally, some students would have to move again after just a year because they are zoned for Burley Middle School for sixth grade.

According to district spokesman Phil Giaramita, Walton principal Josh Walton is “in discussions” about adding recreational equipment and after-school programming for the young students.

Families have invoked equity concerns as well. Mountain View is the secondlargest and among the most diverse schools in the county, serving many low-income Latino students from the Southwood Mobile Home Park.

H OT SE ATS The three Dems vying for two council spots answer questions about the housing crisis, criminal justice, and priorities upon assuming office BY GEREMIA DI MARO CHARLOTTESVILLE’S GOVERNMENT FACES a wide

array of big issues: A housing crisis. Ongoing criminal justice system inequities. A bureaucracy that’s had difficulty getting on the same page.

This summer, three candidates are competing in the Democratic primary in hopes of securing the party’s nominations to run for two contested seats on the Charlottesville City Council in the November general election. Juandiego Wade is a member of the Charlottesville School Board and chair of the Board of Directors for United Way of Greater Charlottesville; Carl Brown is a lifelong city native with a background in youth mentorship, consulting, and nonprofit work, and Brian Pinkston is a UVA project manager with a Ph.D. in philosophy.

In the fall, the two winners will run against independents Mayor Nikuyah Walker and entrepreneur Yasmine Washington.

Ju a nd iego Wa de How would you address Charlottesville’s housing crisis and the rising cost of living in the city?

My position on affordable housing is that you have to take a multi-pronged approach. You have to continue to support nonprofits, like Habitat for Humanity and AHIP [Albemarle Home Improvement Program], which are out there building homes or fixing up homes to allow people to stay.

One of the things that I would do is to get the localities to collaborate more. Charlottesville is doing most of the pulling, and we can’t do it alone. Additionally, the Uni-

versity of Virginia needs to have a role in this, and I think that they have, with the announcement that they’re going to be building some affordable housing I think over the next 10 years or so.

What role do you think the city’s Police Civilian Review Board should play in ensuring accountability for law enforcement?

I think that we need to have the Civilian Review Board. I think that they need to have the power to review complaints, and that they need to have a diverse and wide range of representatives on that committee. I just don’t want the CRB to be telling the officer or the police chief, “We need to do A, B, and C.” If elected to council, what would be your top priority upon assuming office?

Criminal justice reform, affordable housing, continuous support, public education, economic development, and climate justice are what I would focus on if I’m elected. We, as councilpersons, would have to be rowing in the same direction, and I think it is vital to get to know them.

What is the role of UVA in ensuring affordable living conditions in the city?

Transportation is vital. I did transportation planning for [Albemarle] County for 20 years. Housing is so expensive here that many of the lower-wage workers have to commute in. But all that causes congestion on the roads. You need to provide more alternative transportation, whether it’s free bikes, preferential parking if you carpool, incentives if someone walks to work. And you also need to work with VDOT, the county, and the city.

What are your thoughts on the function of City Council in recent years?

I understand that people are very passionate about whatever issues that they’re talking about, and I don’t want to quell that in any form or fashion. All that I ask of everyone is that we respect everyone’s opinion. I think that that will go a long way.

I think that we all love and care for the city and want what’s best for it, and with that foundation, we can move forward.

What changes would you make to the city’s criminal justice system and system of law enforcement?

I am for accountability, not for micromanagement. I think that there is definitely a need to bridge the gap between the police department and particularly for communities of color that I believe was widened after the Unite the Right rally.

The police can do more things like community policing, and getting to know the residents outside of emergencies.

And I think that the community realizes this is a very difficult job that police officers have. One of the things that I would do if I’m elected is just to have some real, honest conversations and say, “It’s okay to disagree.”

How would you address Charlottesville’s housing crisis and the rising cost of living in the city?

I’ve been working in the [city’s] public housing, and I think, more than anything, we need to be able to provide them with resources and support within their community. Hubs where youth are able to excel in the classroom, or have that opportunity within their community. Zoning is going to play a major part, but I think that’s another conversation.

Ca rl Brown

What is the role of UVA in ensuring affordable living conditions in the city?

I see UVA as a major player in this. I think creating incentives for our public schools and things of that nature to connect

What changes would you make to the city’s criminal justice system and system of law enforcement?

[I hope to have] programming in the jails that’s going to be more catered to less incarceration, which is what we’ve been working on by providing more technical and vocational training and by being more supportive.

De-escalation training has been something that’s been major. So when I see the budget breakdown, that’s what I’m really looking for. And if you don’t have that, that’s something that should be incorporated. I am totally for looking at [the police budget] and reallocating money to those areas in need.

What role do you think the city’s Police Civilian Review Board should play in ensuring accountability for law enforcement misconduct?

I think it needs to be a little more representative and a little more balanced. I think they’re going in the right direction.

There are a lot of people in this community who have been working in that entity for a long time. I think it’s a work in progress, but I think it’s going in the right direction.

What would be your top priority upon assuming office?

The most important aspects from my standpoint are leadership, trust, respect, creativity, and excellence. I’m going to bring that to the table. This is not a situation where my aspirations are to be a politician. The direction the city needs to go in is one where we have stability, accountability, and transparency. Individuals from the community suggested that I do this for the good of the community. So I’m not doing it for me—this is much bigger than me.

died, really needs to be taken on board. Particularly in a Southern city like this with a history of racism in general.

I support the Police Civilian Review Board—I think it should have teeth—understanding that the General Assembly has [expanded its possible powers] due to laws that were recently changed.

I want to err on the side of transparency. I want to err on the side of us being really clear about what’s in the police budget. I think that knowing what the police are tasked to do is very much within our rights as citizens. I would love to see some of the services that police are paid for put over to community services for Region Ten. And it’s important that we listen to actual persons of color that live in Tonsler precinct or live in some of these housing projects. I have a young Black man on my campaign helping me, and I asked him what he thinks, and he said, “Well, we need the police. We want police in certain places, and at certain times.” I think it’s important that we listen to the people actually affected, and not just do progressive wish fulfillment.

What would be your top priority upon assuming office?

The main thing I want to do is inject—people don’t like the word civility—but a level of collegiality into the council. I’m grateful to the current mayor for shining a strong light on our city’s past, and ways in which we thought we were so great but really weren’t. I think that she’s done an admirable job in that. I do think she’s struggled, for whatever reason, to create the positive change that she’s wanted, and I’m hopeful that the next council can do that.

What are your thoughts on the function of City Council in recent years?

The City Council needs to function well. This turmoil we have on council spills over to social media, which has been really disruptive. It affects actual operations, because people may or may not want to work for a city that has that level of instability at the top. I want to [build] strong working relationships on council, so that people who work for the city know that we’re a credible body, that we’re going to make decisions to stick with them, that we care for them and care for their careers.

CITY COUNCIL FUNDRAISING

CARL BROWN

Juandiego Wade

ON T H E MON E Y In May, The New York Times asked each candidate for mayor of New York City to tell it, from memory, the median sales price for a home in Brooklyn. The guesses ranged widely, and some candidates wound up with egg on their face. Investment banker Ray McGuire said “It’s got to be somewhere in the $80,000 to $90,000 range.” Maya Wiley, a former aide to Mayor Bill de Blasio, said $1.8 million. The correct answer is $900,000.

With rising real estate prices an important topic in town, we put the same question to our council candidates. No googling allowed: What is the median home price in Charlottesville?

Juandiego Wade: “I would say it’s about $300,000 or $400,000. A couple of weeks ago there was only one house on the market under $250,000.”

Carl Brown: “Probably around $360,000.”

Brian Pinkston: “The median home price in Charlottesville is about $375,000. I know that because my home is worth about that much.”

The correct answer: In the first quarter of 2021, the median home sale price in the City of Charlottesville was $397,000, according to the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors. Congrats, all—that’s a much better showing than the New Yorkers.

Amount raised through March 31, 2021

If elected to council, how would you address Charlottesville’s housing crisis and the rising cost of living in the city?

It’s affordability up and down the scale. The super rich don’t have to worry about finding a place to live, but the rest of us do—even folks who make a good salary like myself. We’ve considered moving, for various reasons, but it’s a fraught proposition, particularly if you want to stay in the city.

Then when you include the factor of equity, and the glaring inequities of the past like redlining, how the zoning that we have reflects specifically racist covenants, and then the lack of investment over decades—now we’re faced with a really significant crisis. Then you add to the fact that you’ve got a world-class institution here that’s going to continue to be this magnetic pole for folks from all over the world, and the university can pay people enough to live here, so it’s a very complicated problem.

Now we’re getting into the [Comprehensive Plan] landuse map and zoning changes, and that’s where the rubber meets the road. We should start seeing these things like the land-use map and Comprehensive Plan as living documents as much as possible.

My personality as a whole, I can be very straightforward. But my objective is to make City Council meetings boring when you come in, because we’re doing the work. You have to have that commitment. Coming from coaching sports teams, I understand what that brings. I’m not coming in to dominate, I’m coming in to be a part of it.

Public defender challenges Democrat incumbent for top prosecutor job BY BEN HITCHCOCK

Joe Platania and Ray Szwabowski are running for Charlottesville commonwealth’s attorney.

Where are the Republicans?

Republicans held a drive-through convention to select their statewide candidates last month. Businessman Glenn Youngkin leads the ticket, and former House of Delegates members Winsome Sears and Jason Miyares secured the nods for lieutenant governor and attorney general, respectively. No Republicans have announced campaigns for any Charlottesville City or Albemarle County positions.

What’s up in the county?

Albemarle’s six Board of Supervisors seats are all held

by Democrats, and three of their terms end this fall.

No primaries will be held for those seats, however.

Diantha McKeel and Ned Gallaway are running unopposed for reelection. Liz Palmer is stepping down, and lawyer and physics professor Jim Andrews is running unopposed to take her place. Dem Primary voters in the county will receive a ballot with nothing but the three statewide races.

How do I vote?

Early in-person voting is already underway. City residents should head to the City Hall Annex downtown, and county residents can go to the County Office Building on Fifth Street. Or wait until election day, when all voting precincts will be open as usual.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

“Generally speaking, a prosecutor should always be thinking, ‘I am wielding a very powerful sword. I should be careful swinging it.’” RAY SZWABOWSKI

W H O, W H AT, WHERE?

@cville_weekly

won elections for reform-minded prosecutors in places like Philadelphia and San Francisco.

Platania says he’s proud of his progressive bona fides: The jail population decreased 12 percent in his first year in office, and has continued to decrease as many people have been transferred to house arrest as a COVID precaution. “We don’t use cash bail, we don’t charge mandatory minimum [sentences] without supervisor approval, and we reduce all nonviolent first-time felonies to misdemeanors,” Platania says. He’s also a founding member of Virginia Progressive Prosecutors for Justice, a statewide group made of up 12 of Virginia’s 120 elected prosecutors that has advocated for reforms like marijuana decriminalization.

“Our philosophy is diversion and treatment over incarceration and prosecution, and jail as a last resort not a first option,” the prosecutor says. “But at the same time, we’ve tried to keep an eye on prosecuting violent offenses.

It’s a complicated tension that we navigate through.”

Szwabowski, however, says the way Platania’s office operates allows individual prosecutors too much discretion, and that cases have slipped through his fingers as a result.

“I’ve heard Joe brag that culture eats strategy for breakfast,” Szwabowski says. “The idea is if you create the right office culture, then people who work for you will make the right decisions in the cases.”

“Having lived through that on the defense side, I don’t think it works,” the public defender says.

Szwabowski wants to bring a more policy-focused approach, and says that his office would have rules in place that would guarantee fewer people are put on probation,

probation terms are shorter, and drug possession felony charges would be downgraded to misdemeanors.

At the candidate forum, Szwabowski put his frustration in straightforward terms. “Charlottesville has no systemic approach to criminal justice reform,” he said.

Giving out fewer felonies is a key tenet of progressive prosecution, as a felony charge can derail a person’s life, making it harder to rent housing, take out loans, and find work. And drug felonies in particular are handed out to Black people at heartbreakingly disproportionate rates. Around the country, “African Americans and whites use drugs at similar rates, but the imprisonment rate of African Americans for drug charges is almost six times that of whites,” reports the NAACP. “Generally speaking, a prosecutor should always be thinking, ‘I am wielding a very powerful sword. I should be careful swinging it,’” Szwabowski says.

The commonwealth’s attorney race might not jump off the page when you eye your ballot. Four years ago, Platania swept past local criminal justice lawyer and advocate Jeffrey Fogel, winning 62 percent of the vote in an election where less than 8,000 votes were cast. In 2011, Dave Chapman won re-election for his sixth term in a primary with just 2,500 votes. The results have real and immediate differences in the city, however.

In a small race, in a small city, in a small legal community, personal relationships loom large. Platania and Szwabowski have been on opposite sides of plenty of cases in the last few years. “There’s a collegiality in the court system that I think is appropriate—we all are professional and try to treat each other with professional respect,” Szwabowski says. “And that’s why I think it was maybe a little surprising to Joe [that I ran]…There’s a way to advocate for change that is polite and professional but forceful.”

Was Platania surprised? “I’m not politically sophisticated enough to predict or know,” he says. “I knew that I thought we had done a good job and I feel like our team should be rehired.”

“For me, these issues are so important that you have to push past the awkwardness,” says Szwabowski. “He says his piece, I say mine, and the voters can decide.”

June 2 – 8, 2021 c-ville.com

HERE’S ONE NUMBER to cut right to the heart of Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Charlottesville commonwealth’s attorney: 19. That’s how many times Joe Platania’s office says it has prosecuted felony simple possession of hard drugs as a standalone charge in the last two years.

Platania says that the statistic proves his office isn’t punishing people who break the law too harshly. “In the 19 cases that I had pulled, almost all resulted in treatment and dismissal,” he says. “Very few ended up serving active jail sentences.” He also notes that those cases represent a tiny fraction of the thousands that come across his desk.

Ray Szwabowski, a public defender running to unseat Platania, sees things differently. “I’m not okay with 10 extra, unnecessary, racist felonies every year, and I won’t be if I’m elected prosecutor,” Szwabowski said at a candidate forum hosted by The People’s Coalition last week. He’s challenging Platania from the left, and the key plank in his platform is a promise not to hand out any felonies for drug possession.

The race between Szwabowski and Platania, who himself worked as a public defender early in his career, offers a peek at the path forward for reforming the groaning, serpentine American criminal justice system.

The United States incarcerates more of its own citizens than any other country in the world, by a comfortable margin. Both Szwabowski and Platania agree that one driver of that over-incarceration is overly aggressive prosecutors, who seek harsh punitive sentences for crimes that could be handled more gently—in particular, progressive prosecutors argue that drug infractions should result in treatment rather than jail time. That argument has recently

MCAULIFFE HAS THROWN his hat in the ring for a second

non-consecutive term as governor, and the former executive’s name recognition and piles of money have made him the front-runner in the race.

McAuliffe spent most of his first term vetoing bills from the Republican-controlled legislature. This time around, the Macker is running on a more proactive platform, with his stated goals including increasing teacher pay, investing in broadband internet, raising the minimum wage to $15 by 2024, and declining any campaign contributions from Dominion Energy. In his first term, McAuliffe allowed three executions to take place, but now says he supports the state legislature’s recent decision to repeal the death penalty.

Virginia has shifted blue over the last few years, but the state hasn’t really embraced progressive candidates, with moderates Ralph Northam and Joe Biden easily dispatching challengers from the left in past statewide races. McAuliffe and his backers hope to keep that trend going.

She flipped a Republican House district in 2017 while pregnant, and then sponsored Virginia’s ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment during her second term, before resigning in 2020 to devote herself to the governor’s race.

Carroll Foy wants to end qualified immunity for police officers, lower health insurance premiums, and create a permanent voteby-mail system.

He made headlines last year when he spearheaded a bill to cap insulin prices at $50 per month, and he’s introduced bills to ban corporate campaign contributions and repeal the right to work law, which limits union activity. He plans to lobby for universal health care, and says in the meantime he’ll create a state office to directly reimburse some out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Carter faces an uphill battle in a state with a fondness for moderate Democrats.

She passed the Clean Economy Act, the Reproductive Health Protection Act, the Voting Rights Act of Virginia, and more. As governor, she would work to eliminate open carry gun laws, end felony disenfranchisement, and strengthen Virginia’s hate crime penalties.

Self-proclaimed outsiders are in vogue in politics these days—meanwhile, Tim Kaine officiated McClellan’s wedding.

By day, she’s a corporate lawyer with Verizon. Also of note around here: McClellan picked up her law degree at UVA, making her the only Hoo in the governor’s race.

GOVERNOR FUNDRAISING

Key endorsement: Fairfax has not picked up any endorsements from American elected officials, but he has been endorsed by conservative British politician Nicholas Fairfax, the 14th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. The two became acquainted after genealogical research revealed that Nicholas’ ancestor enslaved and subsequently freed Justin’s great-great-great grandfather.

FAIRFAX WAS SEEN

as a rising star in Virginia politics after running a close attorney general primary against Mark Herring in 2013 and winning the LG race in 2017. In 2019, however, two women accused him of sexual assault. Fairfax denies the accusations and has not bowed to pressure to resign, though he did part ways with the law firm he worked for, and he left his post on the board of Duke University’s public policy school. His gubernatorial campaign has failed to gain any real steam.

Her campaign prioritizes addressing the climate crisis, expanding access to high-speed internet, and supporting small business owners.

The incumbent attorney general has garnered support from many Democratic leaders across the commonwealth, including Speaker of the House Eileen Filler-Corn and Democratic Majority Leader Charniele Herring, and the Post editorial board writes that “No Virginia attorney general in recent memory has made such a positive difference in the lives of ordinary people.” Herring’s tenure in Richmond has not been without controversy, though—less than a week after Virginia’s Democratic Party was thrown into turmoil following the discovery of a racist photograph on Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook page, Herring admitted that he had worn blackface as an undergraduate student.

In 1989, Dennis Horton and longtime business partner Joan Bieda acquired 55 acres for the beginning of Horton Vineyards. The task of establishing the vineyard was given to Dennis’ wife Sharon, a nurse by trade, whose meticulous nature was reflected in the manicuring of the East Coast’s most unique vineyard. 1993 saw the first crush at the new Horton Cellars and in 1994 additional acreage came into production with plantings of Bordeaux, Portuguese, South African, Georgian and Spanish varietals with Pinotage and Rkatsitelli. Horton Vineyards continues to explore with new varietals and techniques to achieve the best that Virginia viticulture can produce.

While we have a wide variety of wines to pick from, we offer different themed flights each month to highlight our wine throughout the year! Wine flights, glasses and bottles are available. To ensure time for a tasting please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to closing.

RAMBLIN’ MAN Having called Colorado and Georgia home, Todd Murray of Sincerely Iris is now based in Richmond, Virginia. He’s spent a fair share of time on the road, and his songs, which he describes as “road trip music,” evoke dusty drives down Southern backroads, hand tapping on the wheel, heading toward a distant horizon. Murray’s traveling companion is a handmade guitar, built around his old Colorado license plate. See if you can spot it as you kick back and join him on his musical ride.

Of all the trees in all of our yards, the mighty oak is extra special, according to Doug Tallamy, professor of agriculture and natural resources at the University of Delaware. In his latest book, The Nature of Oaks, Tallamy explains how oak trees support more life forms than any other tree genus in North America. (For instance, an oak produces millions of acorns during its lifespan, and interacts with over 800 caterpillar species.) He will answer questions about his research during a virtual talk hosted by the Piedmont Master Gardeners and Virginia Cooperative Extension. $15, 7pm. Register at piedmontmastergardeners.org.

Nelson County playwright Peter Coy (below) published A House In The Country and Other Plays through Hamner Press in April.

By Mary Jane Gore arts@c-ville.com

I

n the plays collected in his new book, Peter Coy includes a range of extreme human behavior, from fears most dreaded to murders most foul, from rank dishonor to impish perversity. He also infuses characters with love, hope, forbearance, and sometimes forgiveness. A House in the Country and Other Plays gives its audience a shot of redemption in the five works, and also gives theater-goers and readers an opportunity to thoughtfully contemplate pressing issues.

Meeting Coy, a genteel, seemingly easygoing man, it’s difficult to square his soft-spoken words with the imagined scenes he asks an audience to take on, the visceral images that materialize from dialogue, from characters’ memories and admissions.

Coy has lived in Nelson County for 30 years, but says he can’t claim it, “because your grandparents have to be born there.” An all-American lacrosse player at UVA, he also trained as a director in the drama department before departing for a life of camaraderie in the theaters of New York and Washington, D.C. He’s a founding member of several theater troupes; the Earl Hamner Theater in Afton is his most recent company. He’s also

won a Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play.

“From the adaptation of a classic story, to the highly imaginative use of an oversized doll, to the use of music, and inventive uses of time, Coy explores the possibilities inherent and unique to the stage,” says the Charter Theatre’s Richard Washer of Coy’s five plays, which seem to spring from a quest to understand what makes a typical person despair enough to pursue the terrible.

A House in the Country is a slightly toned-down version of a gruesome crime in Nelson County. It was inspired by a brief item in a newspaper, and it explores how Coy answered his own questions about such a traumatic event.

The Columnist takes many satirical twists and turns

The Columnist stars Katja Herbers in a wild psycho-thriller about a writer pushed too far by online trolls.

By Deirdre Crimmins arts@c-ville.com

S

The film clearly understands that killing is wrong and that threatening people for their opinions is wrong too. But it gets thematically messy when it comes to the notion of silencing voices, and who has the right to hold the symbolic microphone.

Femke is a likable, but her actions make us question her belief in her causes. And

The Columnist R, 86 minutes when her daughter takes up that same freespeech torch at school, Femke is forced to face her hypocrisy more directly than she anticipated.

None of this tonal tightrope or freespeech scrutiny would be possible without Herbers’ determined performance. Her ability to translate the satirical victim turned monster into a person who looks like she’d be fun at a cocktail party is the work of a graceful actress.

The Columnist is not subtle. It takes the fantasy of exposing the cowards who hide behind keyboards, and turns the vengeance up to 11. Bloody fun turns swiftly into an examination of the power of voice and the line between good guys and bad guys.

Femke keeps going, and her attacks against these vile armchair commenters escalate until she no longer resembles herself.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

atire feeds on the contemporary. As new social issues and interests arise, satire helps us inspect them and make sense of their value in our changing world.

Satire can disarm or emasculate through humor, but it can also be twisted into horror and used to heighten danger. The Columnist does both. First, the film makes us laugh at the preposterous nature of online trolls and the emotional weight we give them—and then, with a violent escalation of events, it shows us that words have meaning and they can be weaponized.

The Columnist takes an amplified look at trolls through the experiences of Femke Boot (Katja Herbers), a newspaper columnist and author in the Netherlands who is suffering from writer’s block. Her next book is due, and her publisher is waiting impatiently. But social media and construction near her home, where she writes, distract her to the point of inactivity. When threats on Twitter seem a little too real, she discovers that the police won’t help. She could take her protection into her own hands, but first she needs to write.

That is precisely when a slew of trolls target her in the comments section of her online

column. Femke knows she shouldn’t read them, but she can’t peel herself away from the hateful messages spouting from the safety of internet anonymity.

With an easy search, Femke locates one particularly active troll. His address, personal photos, and life events are there, and she follows these breadcrumbs to confront him. The man looks like the basement-dweller she suspects him to be, and in a moment of unbridled anger, she kills him—violently and joyously.

She does not stop there. Femke keeps going, and her attacks against these vile armchair commenters escalate until she no longer resembles herself. As the bodies pile up, the tone of the film subtly shifts from a playful revenge fantasy to that of a woman who is no longer in control of her actions or words. Femke is aware enough to know that what she’s doing is wrong, but she has no intention of stopping.

To add to the intensity, The Columnist carries the torch of free speech. Femke believes that people can, and should, have differing opinions and live in peace with one another. We see her writing about this and talking on television in support of the coexistence of multiple viewpoints. She argues for the rights of her commenters, and the irony of her hunting her dissidents is never lost in The Columnist.

Punishing words

June 2 – 8, 2021 c-ville.com

The believability in his plays comes from deep study, particularly around brain trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. He researches areas of psychology and neuropsychology to learn about what might trigger certain types of behavior.

“Making characters means creating behavior that is transparent to an inner psychology,” he says. “As a director, you try to find activities that keep things interesting on stage, and can morph, change, or reveal something about the character.” Imagination allows you to see things that are not present or obvious, Coy says. He was delighted, for instance, when he handed an actor a beer bottle, and in no time, the actor began peeling the label off.

As tragic as his plays may seem, Coy carefully deploys comedy to keep things balanced.

“Physical comedy is the most difficult acting of all,” he says. “In drama, actors can change timing in their scenes and still have the same impact. In physical comedy, scenes are much tighter.” If a character falls while managing to throw a hat onto a hook, it has to happen the same way each time.

In some of his plays, he introduces the buffoon, who instead of playing the fool, ends up mocking the audience. The playwright is also versed in commedia dell’arte, an Italian form of comedy with character types that have lasted for centuries.

In the 50 plays that Coy has written, there is complicated, lyrical, and antiquated language. Sometimes he makes it even more challenging. In Poe & All That Jazz, his Edgar Allan Poe—part clown, part doomsayer—speaks aloud the rhythmic, escalating verses of “The Raven.” At the same time, the actress who portrays his mother (and also embodies all of his ill-fated loved ones) cuts in by singing Cole Porter’s “It Was Just One of Those Things,” as she taps like the wretched raven at his door.

Music is an important component in many of Coy’s plays, including one about Mozart (not in the book), and he clearly enjoys playing with lyrics, love letters, poetry, invented words, and uneasy stutterings.

In two of the plays, Shadow of Honor and Will’s Bach, male protagonists suffer and speak as they do because of post-traumatic stress and to seemingly taunt a spouse, although the latter lines are eventually shown to burst from a dark source.

Suspense is served liberally. In a re-imagined The Gift of the Magi, based on the O. Henry story, the writer casts the characters into a gritty 1907 New York. The audience is treated to two new sets of decisions that are as heart-wrenching as they are dangerous.

Both the early 20th-century community tragedy and contemporary anguish in A Shadow of Honor yield cliff hangers, as do the shame and secrets of A House in the Country.

When not writing or directing, Coy helps shape plays with Nelson County High School students, assisting them in conquering Shakespeare, Molière, and others. During his 13 years at NCHS, his students have won five first places and four second places in the Virginia High School League’s annual OneAct Play Festival.

WE ARE DROOLING OVER NEW PASTRIES, STEAK, AND WINE TASTINGS Hello to Cou Cou

your fill of Filipino fare—and keep your eyes peeled for soon-to-open Citizen Burger Stand, the all-vegetarian GRN Burger, and Asian eats from Mashu Festival.

Charlottesville croissant connoisseurs and Danish devotees are buzzing about the debut of Cou Cou Rachou, the new bakery from Rachel De Jong. After receiving her pastry chef certification from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, De Jong spent the last 12 years refining her skills in expert kitchens, including Gearharts Fine Chocolates and the three-Michelin star-rated The Inn at Little Washington. After her 2020 bakery launch was thwarted by pandemic restrictions, De Jong began working as the executive pastry chef at The Wool Factory’s The Workshop, where she will continue to proffer her pastries at the boutique wine and coffee shop after her flagship location opens in early summer. We are particularly excited to try the French onion croissant and sourdough boule when Cou Cou Rachou opens at 917 Preston Ave., next to Sticks and Mona Lisa Pasta.

Old concepts in a new way In 2018, chef Antwon Brinson founded his mission-based company Culinary Concepts AB, which develops passions by teaching real-world skills through the language of cooking. Over the years, Brinson has established several culinary training programs, including one in the local jail. After being forced to adapt to the pandemic environment, Brinson discovered that he enjoys teaching online: Joining aspiring cooks through virtual lessons has allowed the Culinary Concepts team to help people rediscover the limitless possibilities available to them in their own homes. As a result, Brinson will continue his cooking school virtually for the foreseeable future.

The classes are designed for all skill levels, and come with an hour of live training, a shopping list, a recipe, and a recording of the lesson. The best part? You can learn to make a dish like steak au poivre with as many people as you can squeeze into your kitchen.

gold and silver are still up!

(May 21-June 20): “All I want to be is normally insane,” said actor Marlon Brando. Yikes! I have a different perspective. I would never want to be normally insane because that state often tends to be sullen and desperate and miserable. My preferred goal is to be quite abnormally insane: exuberantly, robustly, creatively free of the toxic adjustments that our society tells us are necessary. I want to be cheerfully insane in the sense of not being tyrannized by conventional wisdom. I want to be proactively insane in the sense of obeying my souls’ impulses rather than conforming to people’s expectations. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I believe the coming weeks will be a fruitful time for you to be my kind of insane.

now is the time to sell!

By Rob Brezsny

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “It’s one thing to make a mistake, it’s another to become wedded to it,” advised author Irena Karafilly. Let’s make that one of your key truths in the coming weeks. Now is a good time to offer yourself forgiveness and to move on from any wrong turns you’ve made. Here’s a second key truth, courtesy of composer Igor Stravinsky: “I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.”

Third key truth, from Sufi teacher Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan: “Don’t be concerned about being disloyal to your pain by being joyous.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the number of perfect moments you will experience during the next two weeks could break all your previous records. And what do I mean by “perfect moments”? 1. Times when life brings you interesting events or feelings or thoughts that are novel and unique. 2. Pivotal points when you sense yourself undergoing a fundamental shift in attitude or a new way of understanding the world. 3. Leaping out of your own mind and into the mind of an animal or other person so as to have a pure vision of what their experience is like. 4. An absolute appreciation for yourself just the way you are right now.

Virgo

This is our town. .com

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “There is strong shadow where there is much light,” wrote Virgo author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. That’s a good metaphor for you these days. Since I suspect you are currently shining as brightly as you possibly can, I will urge you to become acutely aware of the shadows you cast. In other words, try to catch glimpses of the unripe and unformed parts of your nature, which may be more easily seen than usual. Now, while you’re relatively strong and vibrant, investigate what aspects of your inner world might need improvement, care, and healing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22): According to physicists, it’s impossible for a human being to suck water up through a straw that’s more than 34 feet

long. So please don’t even try to do that, either now or ever. If, however, you have a good reason to attempt to suck water up a 33-foot straw, now would be an excellent time to do so. Your physical strength should be at a peak, as is your capacity for succeeding at amazing, herculean tasks. How else might you direct your splendid abilities? What other ambitious feats could you pull off?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Ezra Pound had character flaws that bother me. But he also had a quality I admire: generosity in helping his friends and colleagues. Among the writers whose work he championed and promoted with gusto were 20th-century literary icons James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, Hilda Doolittle, William Butler Yeats, Ernest Hemingway, William Carlos Williams, and Robert Frost. Pound edited their work, arranged to get them published in periodicals and anthologies, connected them with patrons and editors, and even gave them money and clothes. In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you to be like Ezra Pound in the coming weeks. Make an extra effort to support and boost your allies. Assist them in doing what they do well. To do so will be in your own best interest!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Poet Tess Gallagher praises those times “when desire has strengthened our bodies.” I want you to have an abundance of those moments during the coming weeks. And I expect that cultivating them will be an excellent healing strategy.

So here’s my advice: Do whatever’s necessary to summon and celebrate the strong longings that will strengthen your body.

Tease them into bountiful presence. Treasure them and pay reverence to them and wield them with gleeful passion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else,” observed poet Emily Dickinson. That’s the truth! Given how demanding it is to adjust to the nonstop challenges, distractions, and opportunities of the daily rhythm, I’m impressed that any of us ever get any work done. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns are now experiencing a big outbreak of this phenomenon.

It’s probably even harder than usual to get

Q&A work done, simply because life keeps bringing you interesting surprises that require your ingenuity and resourcefulness.

The good news is that these surges of ingenuity and resourcefulness will serve you very well when the hubbub settles down a bit and you get back to doing more work.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarius-born August Strindberg was a masterful and influential playwright. He also liked to dabble in painting and photography. His approach in those two fields was different from the polish he cultivated in his writing. “I am an amateur and I intend to stay that way,” he testified about his approach in the visual arts. “I reject all forms of professional cleverness or virtuosity.” Just for now, Aquarius, I recommend you experiment with the latter attitude in your own field. Your skill and earnestness will benefit from doses of playful innocence, even calculated naiveté.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Which of the astrological signs feels the deepest feelings? I say it’s you Pisceans. You’re connoisseurs of deep feelings, as well as specialists in mysterious, multi-splendored, brusheswith-infinity feelings. And right now, you’re in the Deepest Feelings Phase of your personal cycle. I won’t be surprised if you feel a bit overwhelmed with the richness of it all. But that’s mostly a good thing that you should be grateful for—a privilege and a superpower. Now here’s advice from deep-feeling author Pearl Buck: “You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.”

(April 20-May 20): Your guiding wisdom comes from Taurus author Annie Dillard.

She writes, “I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you.” I suspect that Dillard’s approach will enable you to maintain a righteous rhythm and make all the right moves during the coming weeks. If you agree with me, your crucial first step will be to identify the nature of your “one necessity.” Not two necessities.

Just the single most important.

June 2 – 8, 2021 c-ville.com

(March 21-April 19): “There is ecstasy in paying attention,” writes Aries author Anne Lamott. That’s always true for everyone, but it’s extra true for you Aries people. And it will be especially true for you during the next 20 days. I hope you will dedicate yourself to celebrating and upgrading your perceptual abilities. I hope you will resolve to see and register everything just as it is in the present moment, fresh and unprecedented, not as it was in the past or will be in the future. For best results, banish all preconceptions that might interfere with your ability to notice what’s raw and real.

If you practice these high arts with exhilarating diligence, you will be rewarded with influxes of ecstasy.

Update Your

“VIBE” Inside and Out

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

A

s we emerge from the isolation of COVID-19, it almost seems like a brandnew year.

Folks who’ve been working from home are weary of staring at Zoom screens and the wall coverings that were “hot” eight or nine years ago. Mowing the same old lawn and dragging out

the sagging summer seating for backyard or balcony have also lost their charm.

Instead, we’re aware of all sorts of possibilities and a desire to create a new vibe in our homes—inside and out.

A Better Home Office Many people who have been working from home in a temporary way have

discovered unforeseen benefits and plan to continue, at least part-time. Hence, well-defined home offices are replacing makeshift arrangements.

Some people adapt a guest room or one vacated by a child leaving home by choosing dual-use furniture. For example, desks are available that can be completely closed to conceal a computer and printer, while some file cabinets can serve as attractive bedside tables.

Those old Murphy-bed installations that used to slide out from behind shellacked closet doors are now well-balanced units that, when folded up, show nothing but a decorative wall panel or painting.

In more limited space, a closed-off area can be created using bookshelves or substantial folding screens as “walls.”

Some folks convert a large closet into a workspace where the desk, file cabinets and computer set can be rolled out of sight when not being used.

There can even be tax benefits for a home office.

Many restrictions apply, but in some cases a percentage of home expenses such as mortgage interest, insurance, and utilities may be tax deductible. CAVEAT: The space must be your only office, used exclusively as an office. This means if you are working from home but are employed by an entity that has an accessible location, you don’t qualify. Consult with a tax professional.

New Season New Décor Redecorating is another tactic to improve your “vibe.” Replacing furniture and carpeting or updating kitchen coun-

ters and cabinets can bring a remarkable change to your home. A less expensive tactic can be as quick as painting or wallpapering an accent wall, replacing strategic light fixtures, or spotlighting fresh new colors for a bedroom duvet or bathroom towels and bathmats.

Whether you repaint every room or simply create an accent wall, you can quickly update your style. Colors significantly affect moods, probably more than any other aspect of interior design.

Some time ago, it was fashionable to have all-white walls, then neutrals gradually morphed into pale greys, blues, and greens.

So what are today’s color trends?

A good barometer of color is to visit new home models in the area and check websites for paint companies. This year, experts agree that quarantining and staying at home have strongly affected homeowners’ color choices. The grays popular in the last few years are being replaced by earthy, warmer neutral tones. Plantbased colors are also popular as more living plants are incorporated into home design.

Consensus among designers is that Benjamin Moore’s Aegean Teal and Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze will be the decorating color stars for 2021, while blues from denim shades to pale blues will continue to be popular for personal spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms.

And for those accent walls? Brick or stone facades, and textured paints and wallpapers are particularly trendy.

Sometimes, however, trends can be trumped. In our region for instance, cer-

tain colors are always in vogue—especially the hues of Williamsburg and Monticello.

Remember, too, the best color choices are those that make you comfortable and happy in your home.

Spiffing Up Your Outdoor Space Whether your “outdoors” is a condo balcony or a couple of acres of lawn, your updates can be thrifty or significant.

New lawn furniture is a great place to start, and re-staining or re-painting existing furniture works well, too. Be sure to prepare the surfaces with sanding or a brisk brushing and determined treating of any mildew. Rust-resistant paint on metals is also a must.

Gardens experience trends just like any other area where style is key. A particularly poignant example emerged after September 11, 2001, when many people spontaneously planted gardens featuring red, white, and blue flowers.

What’s the trend today? It seems to be a combination of “everything old is new again” and easy gardening using a variety of perennials with pops of annuals grown from seed or bought locally in six-packs.

Historic Gardens are popular hereabouts. Perhaps people are trying to turn back the clock on the Age of the Zoom and get closer to nature and history.

Locally, the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants collects, preserves,

and distributes historic plant varieties centered on Jefferson’s own horticultural interests and the plants he grew at Monticello.

Just a few examples are Spiny Bear’s Breeches, Thread Leaf Amsonia, and Butterfly Weed—the last referred to as Pleurisy Root in Jefferson’s own listing of local native plants. Many of these seeds and plants date back to Colonial times and are available online or at the Monticello gift shop (which may be visited without paying admission).

Another trend is toward low-maintenance gardens and native plants. More and more folks are employing the native plants that thrive in our area while increasingly rejecting exotic species, which sometimes become invasive.

An excellent easy-care garden tactic is planting perennials which come up faithfully season after season. Some must be thinned or divided every few years, but they don’t need to be planted anew each spring and there’s a long list of reliable perennials to choose from depending on the composition of the soil and the amount of full sun or shade.

Perennials include daffodils, tulips, and gladiola. Other popular choice are asters, foxglove, phlox, violets, bee balm, hyssop, verbena, coneflower, columbine, Virginia bluebells, and many more. For late-summer showiness, it’s hard to beat

deer-resistant Black-Eyed Susans, which self-seed freely.

People spending more time at home may morph their “coffee breaks” into quick gardening breaks, and edible gardens are becoming more popular. People want to know what they are eating and they like the freshness of items they can bring directly from their garden to the kitchen. To this end, they are planting their own herbs and vegetables.

In fact, many folks are planting mixed beds which recall historical “potager” gardens. This French word describes an ornamental vegetable plot, where flowers (often with edible blossoms like nasturtiums or pansies), are planted with herbs and vegetables to make a lovelier garden.

Edibles might include artichokes, chard, kale, lettuce, and other vegetables.

Herbs—in pots or as part of a flowerbed—are increasingly popular. Nurseries and farmer’s markets are good sources of young plants. The 1966 Simon and Garfunkel song about “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme” highlights an excellent starting quartet for herbs, although omitting basil seems like a conspicuous oversight. Other easy-togrow herbs include chives, dill, tarragon, marjoram, oregano and, of course, mint for summer iced teas.

For abundant information online or by phone, visit www.ext.vt.edu to gather plenty of gardening expertise.

Other Outdoor Enhancements People are now seeing a movement toward specially developed shrubs and flowers that bloom longer or have a second blossoming. Take lilacs, for example.

Traditional lilacs suffer in Central Virginia’s summer heat, but Boomerang, is an improved hybrid that resists mildew and blooms a second time. It seldom grows more than five feet high, a plus in a small yard.

Among azaleas, Encore reblooms in the fall in various colors. The fall display isn’t a big a one, but it’s certainly a bonus.

Butterfly bushes, also known as buddleia, bloom almost all summer. In our area they can be killed back to the ground during a particularly hard freeze, but they readily (and rapidly) regrow from the roots to as high as 12 feet. They attract butterflies and beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs as well as hummingbirds.

Attracting Visitors In addition to planting beneficial plants, you can entice feathered neighbors, birds, by buying or making feeders.

There are specific feeders for hummingbirds and finches and other birds who become regular customers. (One woman in North Garden reports when she didn’t have her hummingbird feeders out when the hummers arrived from wintering in the south, they hovered at her window, peering in expectantly.)

A wooden trellis is an inexpensive purchase or an easy project for the average do-it-yourselfer.

Patio and Balcony Gardens A wooden trellis, an inexpensive purchase or easy project for the average do-ityourselfer, can provide shade or privacy.

Morning glories, moonflowers, or ivy are ideal climbing vines to train on the brackets.

Dwarf versions of many shrubs are available and can provide color and even

some privacy on a patio or balcony. Consider investing in matching containers of various sizes. Almost anything works, so long as there is good drainage. You can find a wide range of containers at garden stores, thrift shops, and yard sales.

Terra cotta is a longtime favorite with glazed containers holding moisture longer than unglazed. Wood is attractive

When Marilyn Pribus and her husband moved into their Albemarle County home almost 15 years ago, they replaced a thriving patch of poison ivy (not all native plants are good guys!) with a butterfly garden. They also created a birdbath by pouring instant concrete using the plastic cover of a garbage can as a mold.

They buy sunflower seeds in 20-pound bags.

Fresh water in a birdbath or pond, especially one with audible dripping water, is another bird magnet. Birdbaths come in many styles and materials. It’s a good idea to promote visitor health by giving both feeders and birdbaths a quick weekly scrubbing and in some places it’s a must to bring feeders inside at night to foil bears, raccoons, and other wildlife.

and redwood and cedar are naturally rot resistant. You can build or purchase window boxes in many sizes and wooden wine half-barrels are hard to beat for both form and function. Stone or molded concrete containers are heavy, but durable and dramatic and will weather to take on a mellow, long-established look.

Plastic is widely used for containers, making up in practicality what it lacks in charm. It’s durable and lightweight, so it’s no surprise that most plants are in plastic when you bring them home from the store. Often you can simply hide the plastic inside a more attractive container without repotting.

Purchase potting soil specifically formulated for container gardening. If the plants will be in the sun for a good portion of the day, add some water-saving polymers which are available at garden stores. They swell when exposed to water and then release the moisture slowly.

The bottom line is that remakes and updates both indoors and out can enhance your life as we head carefully into a post-pandemic world.
