Bright purple blueberry vodka. Locally sourced honey. Mudhouse Coffee cold brew.

Those are just a handful of the ingredients that the city’s most creative bartenders are swirling into their cocktails this summer (page 12). Thirsty yet? I know I am.

All the beers, wines, and cocktails featured in this issue are seriously delicious. More than the drinks, though, what really goes down easy is the chance to sit on a barstool again and be around the people that we missed last year. Many of us have enjoyed a summer that was far more social than the previous time around, and I’m sure that we won’t take for granted the chance to sidle up to a watering hole with our friends ever again.

The world’s finest wine tastes sour if you’re on a bad date, or listening to an odious family member expound on the bottle’s indistinguishable tasting notes. On the other hand, a lukewarm Bud Light tastes good if you’re with the right people.

(Okay, maybe it doesn’t actually taste good, but you get the idea.)

Whatever your drink of choice—whether it’s boozy or not—I hope this issue inspires you to find your people and raise a glass.—Ben Hitchcock

High roller: Boutique dispensary opens downtown

IN BRIEF Guns down in Albemarle Tighter gun control could soon be coming to Albemarle County. On Wednesday night, the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing and then vote on an ordinance outlawing guns in buildings, parks, and community centers owned (or used) by the county. Some community members have spoken out against the proposal, claiming it will not prevent gun violence and will negatively impact law-abiding gun owners. Localities across the state have enacted similar gun bans—Charlottesville enacted a very similar policy last year.

David Treccariche says his new CBD dispensary, Skooma, could "set the standard" for dispensaries in town.

City approves eviction right-to-counsel program During its Monday night meeting, Charlottesville City Council dedicated $300,000 of American Rescue Plan funds to establish a right-to-counsel pilot program for eviction hearings. Charlottesville is the first city in the south to guarantee representation for

those facing eviction. An additional $400,000 was allocated towards emergency rent assistance. Headed by the Legal Aid Justice Center, the new program will include community outreach and education, as well as rent relief navigation and support.

Once the Centers for Disease Control’s ban on evictions ends on July 31, local housing activists, who have been advocating for the program since spring, say the legal representation will help keep struggling tenants in their homes.

A new politician has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2022 5th Congressional District race. Josh Thronenburg, a minister and small business owner, has announced that he’s running as a Democrat for the seat currently held by Bob Good. Thronenburg hopes to create green jobs in rural areas, expand access to healthcare, and work to address systemic racism. He says he was inspired to run by his daughters and “the uncertain future they are inheriting.”

Before entering the marijuana business, Trecaricche founded a car dealership and worked as an operations manager for Tiger Fuel Company. After recognizing marijuana’s increased presence in mainstream American life, he decided “to jump feet first” into the market for legal weed. He plans to transition to selling THC-based products once he’s legally allowed to do so, and says he’ll eventually open a second location, using demographic information from customers to decide where it should be located.

Treccariche says he hopes his shop will “set the standard” for dispensaries in the Charlottesville area as the legal buying and selling of marijuana approaches in 2024. For now, one of Skooma’s main points of emphasis is to match customers’ different preferences and comfort levels and “educate” wherever it can.

“Some people are just strictly gummies, and that’s great, we love that,” he says. “And some people like to be old school and smoke, and that’s great too.” With full legalization in sight, entrepreneurs like Treccariche have set their sights high.—Joseph Riley

he future of pot has arrived in Charlottesville. And it looks like an Apple store.

Skooma, the town’s newest CBD dispensary, opened on the Downtown Mall earlier this month. For the moment, the slick operation is offering the weed-adjacent products that are currently widely available in Virginia—edibles and plants that offer the muscle-relaxing benefits of CBD but lack THC, the ingredient in regular marijuana with hallucinogenic effects.

Skooma’s style, however, immediately sets it apart from some of the city’s other CBD stores. The shop is pristine and spacious, with hemp flowers perched atop modern stands and employees floating around in floor-length white lab coats.

Owner David Treccariche says the aesthetic is intentional. Skooma (named after a drug from the Elder Scrolls video game series) is a self-described "boutique" cannabis shop, differentiating it from other head and smoke shops, which Trecaricche says usually have “annoying signs on the door...bright flashing lights [and] a different environment.”

The practically-empty Fashion Square Mall was up for auction last week. During a foreclosure auction outside the Albemarle County Circuit Courthouse on Friday, the mall’s mortgage lender, an LLC called Charlottesville JP 2014-C21 LLC, bid back and forth with local real estate mogul Richard Hewitt for about 20 minutes, before repurchasing the property for $20.2 million, reports the Daily Progress. The mall’s owner, Washington Prime Group Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month. The long-term future of the mall remains to be seen.

mile! On July 1, over 750,000 adult Virginians became eligible for dental coverage under the state’s expanded Medicaid dental plan. Previously, only children and pregnant Medicaid recipients were eligible for coverage.

“Oral health is an integral part of overall health, well-being, and quality of life,” said Governor Ralph Northam in a press release.

“This historic expansion of services will ensure that adult Medicaid members across our Commonwealth have access to the quality dental care they deserve. I am proud of the bipartisan support and strong collaboration we have received from dentists and health care advocates that helped us reach this significant milestone.”

The expansion doesn’t solve Virginia’s dental problem overnight, however. “The recent expansion for adult dental is great, and it’s a step in the right direction,” says Susan Sherman, executive director of the Charlottesville Free Clinic, which provides health care to uninsured and underinsured area residents. “But the reality is that there aren’t a lot of dentists that are accepting Medicaid.”

Under the new plan, those 21 and over who are receiving full Medicaid and other state health benefits will also receive coverage for X-rays and examinations, cleanings, fillings, root canals, gum-related treatment, dentures, tooth extractions and other oral surgeries, and other appropriate general services such as anesthesia. Orthodontic care is not included in the plan.

The funding for dental coverage was passed by the state legislature as part of Virginia’s massive annual budget bill, which was signed into law by Northam in the spring. The dental plan builds on Virginia’s 2019 Medicaid expansion. In 2018, after Republicans nearly lost control of the House of Delegates, a handful of Republican state senators dropped their years-long opposition to Medicaid expansion, approving a bill that allowed hundreds of thousands access to health care.

“When we expanded Medicaid eligibility in 2019, our new members identified dental services as a top need,” said Department of Medical Assistance Services Director Karen Kimsey in a statement. “With more than 562,000 new members as a result of Medicaid expansion, we apThe Free Clinic offered dental care to uninsured preciate the support of Virginia patients in the parking lot during the pandemic. dentists in helping us meet the tre-

mendous need we know exists in our Commonwealth for oral health care.”

The Medicaid expansion doesn’t mean everyone in Virginia can immediately get the treatment they need. Sherman says that Medicaid reimbursement is pretty low, so there is not a huge incentive for private practice dentists to treat patients on Medicaid, and many don’t.

Additionally, some areas in Virginia, including Nelson and Buckingham counties, don’t have enough dentists, period. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Virginia has 97 dental health professional shortage areas—communities where there aren’t enough practicing dentists to support the population. Coverage expansion doesn’t matter if there aren’t any dentists around.

Because so few dentists accept Medicaid, says Sherman, the medical professionals at the Free Clinic in Charlottesville will still have their hands full treating patients. “There are a lot of people that aren’t going to be able to receive dental care anywhere else,” she says.

Sherman also warns of the “Medicaid churn.” Many people who go on Medicaid don’t stay on Medicaid because their employment status and income change often.

Finding a steady provider can be difficult for people bouncing on and off Medicaid.

“Medicaid expansion is important, and it absolutely sends the right signal,” she says. “It puts money in policy where it needs to go, but the implementation is a challenge.”

fatal car accident is the day they finally were put in place. …We don’t want to be put in the spot of waiting for a tragedy again.”

With the vineyard now open, angry Dick Woods Road residents are hoping to see the rules change going forward.

“There were many issues and concerns from the start of this project but…it is somewhat of a moot point since they are now open for business,” Fender says. “I think people in the rural areas should be concerned if such large enterprises as Hazy Mountain can be developed under the zoning rules and regulations of agricultural zoning.”

Mallek says the Board of Supervisors is looking into the situation.

“Just last week we had a meeting to discuss our priorities for the next year, and we moved to the top of the list looking into changing the legal definitions of what constitutes an agricultural enterprise,” she says.

“Starting to separate out things like cows and corn from things like wineries.”

“The people who live here have already made an investment in the land and in themselves,” Mallek says. “We need to be smart about the land. Our quality of life depends on others.”

intervention and oversight, every single person in authority in Albemarle County has turned a blind eye to what is clearly a commercial operation,” she says.

Residents are also concerned about the traffic issues the new vineyard could bring.

According to Bruce Snerling, who can see the exit from his front porch, the turn onto Dick Woods has already been the site of a handful of fender benders. In the past, the bulk of the traffic on the road was the Western Albemarle cross country team doing weekend runs.

Ann Mallek, who represents the White Hall District on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, has heard plenty of complaints about the project.

“A lot of times it feels like we on the local government side of things end up playing defense when we wish we could play offense,” she says. Traffic is one of those issues: She says Albemarle County had the most highway deaths of any county in Virginia in 2017.

“We tried to get [the Virginia Department of Transportation] to approve signs at a four-way intersection in Earlysville for years,” Mallek continues. “The day after a

ll along Route 151, breweries and wineries dot the sides of the road.

This beautiful, hilly stretch of Nelson County highway is known around the state for its picturesque watering holes.

Take a turn down the more residential Dick Woods Road, however, and you’ll see signs with bold letters that read “NO MORE ALCOHOL, EVENT VENUES, AMPLIFIED MUSIC, INCREASED TRAFFIC IN OUR RURAL AREAS. KEEP ALBEMARLE BEAUTIFUL.” Something has ruffled the feathers of nearly every homeowner on the narrow, windy road, and they want you to know it.

The object of residents’ ire is a new vineyard and event space called Hazy Mountain Vineyards & Brewery, which has been under construction for the last two years and finally opened its doors this month. Neighbors say the property poses traffic, noise, and congestion concerns for their quiet rural street, and that the developers pushed the limits on their construction permits when planning their facility.

Hazy Mountain did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

“Part of the reason the community got upset is how they went about it,” says Dick Woods Road resident Don Fender. From a seat on Fender’s porch, the newly planted grapevines can be seen covering the mountain. A narrow, winding driveway cuts its way up to the peak through the rows.

Hazy Mountain’s developers bought the 167-acre property for $5 million in 2018.

It didn’t take long for them to fell the mountaintop’s trees to make room for grapevines, and set up two event barns, each over 7,000 square feet. The property also has a parking lot with the capacity to hold multiple 200-person events simultaneously.

“We had no idea what was going on up there,” Fender continues.

Hazy Mountain was allowed to construct such a large spread because the project is classified as a farm winery, a designation with looser rules than a standard commercial business. The idea is to make life easier for small farmers looking to sell their products.

“The things they’ve done on the property regarding sight lines, traffic, and building limitations are things that residential developments would never be allowed to do,” Fender says.

“My husband and I live directly across the road from Hazy Mountain Vineyard and have had serious concerns about it since [they] began clearcutting in March of 2018,” says Cathy Robb, another Dick Woods resident.

Robb feels the developers took advantage of a loophole and that the county should have intervened. “Despite our requests for

Bar seats around Charlottesville are filling up again, which means area bartenders are finally able to put pouches and to-go cups behind them and offer patrons in-person crafted cocktails. While making use of the abundance of locally produced spirits and ingredients is not new to our bartending scene, the opportunity to delight customers with creative libations has certainly taken on a whole new meaning in this summer of repoening. Growing season is in full swing—and the number of liquor producers and distillers calling Virginia home keeps growing, too. Local bartenders are happy to create cocktails to share this summer. Here’s a sampling of the best local hard sutff in town.—By Carrie Meslar

The Bar: Tonic

The Bar: The Local

The Bartender: D

The Bartender: Cris Morales

The Bartender: Alec Spidalieri

The espresso martini has become a modern classic, picking you up and calming you down with each sip.

Vitae Spirits’ take on the drink uses the distillery’s own coffee liqueur, a local collaboration with Mudhouse Coffee Roasters. The liqueur gets a vacation vibe with an infusion of coconut, then it’s amped up with Mudhouse cold brew, housemade orgeat, and Typhoon Bitters from D.C.’s Modern Bar Cart. It’s a powerhouse matchup that is equal parts tropical and Charlottesville.

Morales starts each Violent B by using local blueberries to create nuanced and tart flavored vodka. The brilliantly purple spirit is then shaken up with Vitae gin, lemon and demerara syrup. The end result is a cocktail with a classic sour tang and a little extra backbone thanks to the split base of vodka and gin. When asked about the source of the blueberries, the staff jokes that there couldn’t be a more local purveyor for that batch: They came from a team member’s garden.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This stalwart of The Local’s cocktail menu is one of the first cocktails Spidalieri created when he arrived at the Belmont restaurant, and there are no plans to bid the drink farewell any time soon. A variation on the old fashioned, this particular iteration uses Bowman Brothers Virginia straight bourbon, Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, Peychaud’s bitters, and local honey. It meets the needs of many a thirsty patron, while incorporating both a bourbon and honey brand that call Virginia home.

Another long-standing bar item, this deceptively powerful mixture’s popularity keeps it a menu staple. Moonshine has played a significant role in the history of drinking in America—until fairly recently it was an illegal product, only shared among friends in Mason jars with dubious labels. At the Whiskey Jar, Richmond-based Belle Isle Moonshine gets dressed up with a mix of seasonal fruit and citrus, with some dashes of orange and angostura bitters thrown in for good measure. While its staff has changed since the drink’s creation, The Jar shows no sign of slowing down, with Kayla Cohron now at the helm of the bar program.

ost people think of their parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles as their family tree.

For award-winning King Family Vineyards winemaker Matthieu Finot, it would be more accurate to call it a family vine. Finot’s relatives own vineyards and make wine in their native country of France. The recent launch of the Domaine Finot label in Virginia marks the debut of Finot’s personal project, but is also a nod to the family’s eponymous Domaine Finot winery across the pond.

The idea of this nascent project started in 2016 when Gilbert Tallard hired Finot to assist with the management of Tallard’s Turk Mountain Vineyards. For Finot, growing grapes in the vineyard and winemaking go hand in hand, and he was excited by the opportunity to produce wine “from grapes to bottle.” He also wanted to get closer to his roots as a winemaker by working in the vineyard. After three years of trial and error, the first release is from the 2019 vintage.

In contrast to the state-of-the-art equipment that Finot uses at King Family, his approach to Domaine Finot wines is simpler and minimalistic. He is intentionally pursuing a philosophy referred to as “garagiste,” a term that implies small-batch winemaking done in a garage. All of the wines are made whole cluster (not

requiring equipment for destemming) and without added yeast or sulfur. This mirrors the philosophy of French wineries, where organic farming is practiced and wines are made with minimal intervention.

Finot is excited to see more small, personal labels in Virginia. He calls these projects “honest and interesting” and feels they represent an opportunity to tell a different, perhaps more personal, story and present another style of winemaking often not seen in larger wineries. Like others with personal projects, it’s obvious the primary motivation for Finot is simply the love of wine.

The Domaine Finot 2019 Malbec is a wonderful surprise, as malbec is not usually a grape variety that flourishes in Virginia. The nose presents with blackberry and black plum with some brighter notes of red cherry and raspberry. On the tongue, it exhibits bright acidity, red fruit flavors of strawberry and cherry, and some darker fruits such as blackberry jam. It is balanced, complex, well concentrated, and lingering.

Finot will also produce petit verdot, tannat, cabernet franc, and merlot with his Turk Mountain grapes. His 2019 Tannat is bottled and will be ready for release in about six months. An early sample showed a big, bold, structured wine full of black fruits, stewed fruits, and a hint of licorice. It’s built to age and will reward those who are patient with its evolution.

He untied his tie, quit his accounting gig, and moved to Maine to brew beer full time. Before long, he was the director of brewing operations at Maine Beer Company.

The mountains of Maine were beautiful, but the Blue Ridge called Fulton back. In 2017, he returned to Charlottesville and joined two friends from his student days at UVA—Patrick Adair and Jeff Raileanu, both avid home-brewers in their own right—to start Reason Beer.

Fulton says the business has enjoyed the support of the Charlottesville community since day one and is also seeing growing support throughout Virginia.

The brewmaster credits the popularity of Reason Beer to a focus on approachable and balanced beer, with recipes designed to produce depth and complexity while remaining complementary to food. The current offerings at Reason include a large range of classic beer styles, but also a wild ale program that focuses on beers aged in barrels obtained from local wineries.

When asked, Fulton says he believes the current popularity of hazy New England-style India Pale Ale is here to stay. For the future, he sees a growing interest in and demand for lower calorie, lower alcohol beers (known as “session” beers). Reason currently offers examples of each, a double-NEIPA style known as Unreasonable, which comes in at 8.5 percent alcohol by volume and the aptly named and contrasting session India Pale Ale named Reasonable, which is a lighter drinker at 4 percent ABV. Unreasonable is a big, bold beer that is full of both flavor and alcohol.

It manages to present a fine balance of biscuit and citrus fruit flavors while maintaining a nice mouthfeel despite lower alcohol. If you are looking for other styles of lower alcohol beer, Reason also has a blonde ale that comes in at 4 percent ABV (Hoppy Blonde), a German-style pilsner with 4.3 percent ABV (AOK), and a Saison farmhouse ale at 4.5 percent ABV. On September 18, Reason celebrates its fourth anniversary with a block party at the brewery with new releases, food trucks and other programming. As if you needed another reason to check it out.

Mark Fulton left a desk job to learn the brewing process before founding Reason Beer with college buddies from UVA.

Lizzy Trevor became wine director at Tilman’s on the Downtown Mall a year ago, coming to the position by sheer force of will. The oenophile, who recently aced the Wine & Spirit Education Trust’s level 2 examination, is completely self-taught and self-driven. She started working at Tilman’s two years ago as a team member and climbed into the wine director’s chair with no previous professional experience.

Trevor says her focus is on making esoteric wine varieties approachable to casual consumers. Courtenay Tyler, the restaurant’s co-owner, who also operates Tonic on Market Street, says she couldn’t be happier with Trevor’s programming, which involves setting the eatery’s wine menu, selecting wines for its wine club, organizing events, and training staff.

Prior to turning her hobby into a career, Trevor had been an esthetician. Now, she only has eyes for the vine and is looking ahead to taking the WSET level 3 and 4 tests. “I just love geeking out on wine,” she says.—Shea Gibbs

posed of limited release products sold only at the distillery that allow more creativity and recipe testing. The core line includes two versions of rum, a gin, the orange and coffee liqueurs, and an anisette liqueur that will please licorice lovers. My favorite remains the orange liqueur, which uses locally grown Hardy oranges and showcases pure orange flavor while remaining light and bright on the palate.

Of the Reserve line, I can highly recommend the BarrelAged Rum, which spends about two and a half years in barrels sourced from local wineries and distilleries. In addition to the amber color, aging gives it a deep and inviting nose and warm flavors of toffee, nuts, cedar, and hints of tobacco and chocolate.

Conifer is a recent release, incorporating tips of spruce and fir trees from Bit-O-Honey Christmas tree farm to produce a subtly flavored spirit reminiscent of gin. Without juniper berries it can’t be called gin, but Vitae’s Tips and Tonic cocktail will substitute nicely for a refreshing gin and tonic on a hot summer day.

Red-billed oxpeckers eat pesky bugs off of rhinoceros’ backs.

Nature is full of examples of symbiosis—two organisms living together in a mutually beneficial way.

For a while, Charlottesville had its own example, down on Harris Street, where Vitae Spirits and Ace Biscuit & Barbecue sat next to each other. Ian Glomski, head of Vitae, says the relationship was key in the years after the distillery’s 2015 founding.

Distilleries are required to be in areas zoned for manufacturing, and there usually isn’t much in the surrounding area to drive foot traffic. But Ace drew customers, and Vitae provided liquid spirits to match the barbecue spot’s greasy fare. Glomski says customers were attracted to Vitae by a desire for something new and a curiosity about the process of distilling.

Both partners have moved on to greener pastures: In 2019, Ace moved to a large building down the street, and Vitae opened a tasting room on the Downtown Mall.

Unfortunately, the move coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and delayed opening until last August. While numbers were initially sluggish, growth and sales are now returning.

Vitae Spirits distills from sugar cane, which makes it rum by definition and has the added benefit that its products are gluten free. The one exception to this is a spirit produced by distilling beer made at Champion Brewing Company, a partnership that exemplifies a commitment to locally sourced ingredients and collaboration with other area businesses. Other examples include Golden Rum made with sugar cane grilled on housemade charcoal at Ace, and coffee liqueur using coffee roasted at Mudhouse Coffee Roasters.

At Vax to the Future, musician Shawn Decker (diagnosed with HIV in 1987 at age 11) uses his own experience—and an’80s dance party!—to shine a spotlight on the coronavirus vaccine. “I’ve dedicated my entire adult life to educating about the stigma that comes with HIV, and many of those battles are fighting misinformation,” says Decker.

The Detroit record label Motown produced more hits than The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, and Elvis Presley combined. And much of that success had to do with its backing band, The Funk Brothers. From 1959 to 1972, the group of session musicians provided the distinctive sound for The Temptations, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and more, yet they faded quickly into obscurity.

n December 2020, a group of local youth took their case to a virtual City Council meeting. The goal: Keep the Charlottesville Skate Park open.

The city had issued a release earlier that month warning that the park could be shut down if mask-wearing and social distancing regulations weren’t followed. In response to this threat, area skaters shared impassioned testimonials with councilors about the park’s benefits to both their physical and mental health, showing the strength of the city’s ever-growing skating community.

For further proof of this group’s impact on Charlottesville, head over to McIntire Plaza and High Tor Gear Exchange, where co-owner Erin James has partnered with Jeneene Chatowsky to bring consignment skate gear to the local market.

Chatowsky’s Charlottesville Skate Shop is located inside High Tor, which opened in 2017 thanks to assistance from Charlottesville’s Community Investment Collaborative and is one of what James estimates to be fewer than 30 secondhand outdoor gear exchange shops in the country. When Chatowsky saw James’ and her husband/co-owner Seth Herman’s dedication to lowering the cost barrier to outdoor activities, she knew she had found the perfect fit for opening up a friendly and accessible skate shop.

“The beauty of skateboarding is that you can do it everywhere, anywhere, and you don’t need a lot of money to do it,” says Chatowsky. “The problem is a lot of these

kids can’t get to the skate park, don’t have access to skateboards, don’t know how to do it, and don’t have people around them who can help them.”

The first step toward closing the gap between kids who want to skate and kids who can skate was taken earlier this summer, when Chatowsky began selling consignment skate gear inside High Tor. Chatowsky plans to take the next step in growing the Charlottesville skate community by collaborating with area organizations and businesses to get boards to marginalized communities and set up skating clinics for newbies outside the park.

“The Charlottesville skate community, and specifically the skate park, is very family-oriented,” says James. “Parents are hanging out there, kids are hanging out there with siblings. It’s a spot for people to converge and make new friends.”

The skate shop is meant for everyone, especially young girls, say James and Chatowsky, who are both mothers with full-time jobs. They hope the opening of the new store will help more girls fall in love with what was once a male-dominated sport.

“We were the outliers in skateboarding for many years, and now to see all the girls at the park, it’s just so inspiring,” says Chatowsky. “For me, skateboarding has done so much for my life personally. It’s taught me how to be resilient, it’s taught me to overcome obstacles, it’s taught me to have goals and achieve them. Those are the things that I am hoping that I can bring or share with the community, because it’s changed my life drastically.”

Jeneene Chatowsky collaborated with Erin James to launch her Charlottesville Skate Shop inside James’ High Tor Gear Exchange in McIntire Plaza.

Blake Layman of the Frames releases debut solo effort

Charlottesville’s Blake Layman takes a break from playing bass in the Richmond band Frames to issue the EP Goodness, Littered.

“It’s almost a folk album, but not quite...

It is a love letter, or a bookend, to my 20s.”

Blake Layman

There’s a whole bunch of news you’re missing!

Follow @cville_weekly, and @cville_culture to get the latest scoop on what’s going down in Charlottesville.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

The video opens on a bucolic, sepia-toned scene and features two cowboys—Blake and Gavin Layman, one dressed in white, the other in black—facing off in an overthe-top, farcical duel.

“I had thought I wanted to do a video that maybe communicated the lyrics of that song, then I got worried it would come across as too try-hard,” Layman says. “So I think the main point was to have fun with it. One of my pet peeves is artists that take themselves too seriously.”

Goodness is now available streaming, and Layman is working on a vinyl release, as well. In the meantime, Frames is also working on a new album with Layman on bass.

“I’ve always played bass in other bands, but I’m actually more of a guitar player,” he says.

“I am trying to step out of my shell.”

@cville_culture

Now a furniture maker by trade, Layman cites influences ranging from the ’40s jazz and country that his elderly mentor played during his apprenticeship, to older influences like Tom Waits and Billie Holiday along with modern nudges from Sufjan Stevens and The National. Listeners might also hear a breathy resemblance to Iron & Wine or a folk-ified Band of Horses.

“I had only really planned on it being an acoustic album [but decided] it would be fun to add some other instruments,” he says.

“I like to think I tend to focus on the lyrics—that has always been really important to me. I play guitar and bass, but I don’t feel like I am exceptionally good at them. I am good enough to write a song and communicate what I want.”

The multi-instrumentalist is being modest, but in the end, it’s Layman’s ability to balance earnest lyric writing with a sense of humility and humor that makes Goodness feel genuine rather than overwrought.

A whimsical spaghetti western thread runs throughout the record, driven in part by the use of a pump organ. And the thread is reinforced in the video Layman released for the LP’s first track, “Unhistoric Acts.”

us...

July 21 – 27, 2021 c-ville.com

lake Layman’s solo offerings have been called “folk adjacent,” and he’s taken to the tag. Although the way he puts it is “almost folk.” The distinction’s subtle. But words are important to him.

Layman, a Charlottesville native who plays bass for Richmond’s hot indie pop foursome Frames, has come a long way in the last decade or so. Not much more than 10 years ago, he was playing bass in a C’ville metal band.

But Layman knew metal wasn’t his thing.

“I enjoyed the music, but it didn’t really feel like the kind of music I wanted to write myself,” he says.

Layman learned the kind of music he did want to write in stages. He started a band called Raintree with his brother Gavin, making heady instrumental indie rock layered under dreamy lyrics. Along the way, he wrote songs here and there that didn’t necessarily work for Raintree and were never recorded.

Then in 2019, around the same time he joined Sarah Phung’s Frames, Layman decided to put his own writing together for a solo record. Cobbled from songs that were penned as far back as 2014, imagined as fully acoustic, and demoed in various oddball places (including a school bus that served as Layman’s one-time home), the result is Goodness, Littered, a nine-song LP released on June 25.

“Over the years moving around Virginia, I had written half these songs, but I got busy and interested in other things,” he says.

“Then COVID hit and it provided me the perfect opportunity to sit down and finish.

It’s about little things from my life, mundane things. It’s almost a folk album, but not quite...It is a love letter, or a bookend, to my 20s.”

Mundane or not, Layman’s 20s have led to a solid set of tracks. On Goodness, the burgeoning songwriter is lyrically obtuse enough to maintain intrigue, and more times than not, the songs are musically moving.

The final recordings feature Layman on multiple instruments (bass, acoustic and electric guitar and pump organ) with contributions from brother Gavin and other past band mates. While Layman produced the demos in multiple places—there was the furniture workshop where he was an apprentice in addition to the old bus—Jacob Sommerio tracked and mixed the finished album at Charlottesville’s English Oak Recording.

“It was something I felt like I needed to do for myself, and if nobody gets anything from it, I suppose that’s okay,” Layman says.

“I had been sitting on these songs and I had gotten to the point where I decided I am just going to release this so I can say I completed something.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “Once upon a time.” That’s your phrase of power these days. What do I mean by that? I’m suggesting that you will strengthen your problem-solving abilities by engaging in playful pretending for the sheer fun of it. I’m predicting that you will boost your confidence by dreaming up amusing magical stories in which you endure heroic tests and achieve epic feats. And I’m proposing that you will fine-tune your ability to accomplish practical feats if you regard your robust imagination as crucial to your success.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo singer-songwriter Fiona Apple says she’s not religious. On the other hand, she regularly kneels on the ground and announces to whatever great power might be listening, “Thank you for my problems, and I send my love everywhere.” She’s sincere. She regards her sadness and her challenges as being equally important to her happiness and success. The difficulties teach her what she didn’t even realize she needed to know, and make her appreciate the good times more intensely. I suggest you borrow from her approach right now.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22): Nobel Prize-winning author Albert Camus wrote, “Great feelings bring with them their own universe,” which he said may either be degraded or splendid, selfish, or generous. I love that he allowed for the possibility that great feelings could be positive and noble. So many renowned thinkers focus on negative and ignoble states of mind. In accordance with current astrological potentials, Libra, your task is to cultivate feelings that are splendid and generous.

These sentiments should exalt you, uplift you, and empower you to spread transformative benevolence to those whose lives you touch.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “How can you hold on to something that won’t hold still?” asked Scorpio poet Benjamin Fondane. In general, you Scorpios have more talent than every other sign of the zodiac at doing just that: corralling wiggly, slippery things and making them work for you. And I expect this skill will be especially in play for you during the coming weeks. Your grasp on the elusive assets won’t

Cancer

(June 21-July 22): Cancerian artist Artemisia Gentileschi achieved the impossible: She became a supremely skilled and renowned painter in an era when women had virtually no opportunities to become artists. Many aspects of her work distinguished her from other painters. For example, she depicted women as having strong, agile hands and arms. In Artemisia’s world, the power of women’s wrists, forearms, and fingers signifies their ability to put their mark upon the world, to accomplish strenuous practical tasks with grace and flair. If I were going to paint images of you in the coming weeks, I would also portray you as having strong, agile hands and arms. I suspect you’ll have potent agency to get things done—to adeptly manipulate the material world to serve your ideals. (Thoughts about Artemisia’s hands come from art historian Mary D. Garrard.) ever be perfect, but it will be sufficiently effective to accomplish small wonders.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian Calvin Trillin is a witty writer with a good imagination and a flair for inventive language. But back in school, he confesses, “Math was always my bad subject. I couldn’t convince my teachers that many of my answers were meant ironically.” You Sagittarians are authorized by the cosmic powers-that-be to borrow your style and attitude from Trillin in the coming weeks. So you shouldn’t be fixated on mathematical precision and fastidious logic; your task is not to be conceptually impeccable and scrupulously sensible.

Rather, you have a license to be extra lyrical and lush and rhapsodic and humorous and irrepressible.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2011, an eBay seller produced a 19th-century photo that he said proved Capricorn actor Nicolas Cage is a time-traveling vampire. Although the character in the image did indeed resemble the Oscar-winning star, he rejected the theory, and emphatically declared that he is not a time-traveling vampire. Maybe that all sounds absurd, but I must tell you that you may soon have to deal with people’s equally inaccurate and off-kilter theories about you. My advice: Don’t take it personally.

Simply correct others’ misimpressions and rely solely on yourself for definitive ideas about who you are.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve assembled excerpts of love poems for your inspiration. Why? Because you’re entering the Intensified Intimacy Phase of your astrological cycle. Con-

sider using the following riffs as inspiration when you interact with loved ones. 1. “I profess the religion of love; it’s the belief, the faith I keep.” 2. “Holding your hand, I can hear your bones singing into mine and feel the moon as it rolls through you.” 3. “Raw light spills from your eyes, utterly naked, awakening an intoxicating shimmer of adventure.” 4. “I ask you please to speak to me forever.” (Poem fragments are from Ibn Arabi, Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi, Hermann Hesse, Sara Eliza Johnson, Alejandra Pizarnik.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): An Australian witch named Michelle Clinton praises the joys of a moon garden. It features flowers and plants that reveal their full beauty after dark.

Among the flowers that bloom at night are evening primrose, angel’s trumpet, and Dutchman’s pipe cactus. As for the flowers whose aromas are most potent after the sun sets: night-blooming jasmine, garden heliotrope, and honeysuckle. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have resemblances to a moon garden in the near future, Pisces. Be alert for opportunities to glow and grow in the dark.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Author Valerie Andrews reminds us that as children, we all had the “magical capacity to see the land as an animal does; to experience the sky from the perspective of a flower or a bee; to feel the earth quiver and breathe beneath us; to know a hundred different smells of mud and listen unselfconsciously to the soughing of the trees.”

Oh, how I would love you to be able to recover even a fraction of those talents in the coming days. My reading of the current astrological potentials tells me that your chances of doing so are much better than usual.

Your ability to connect with the eternal child and wise animal within you is at a peak.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Taurus singer Barbra Streisand has a shopping mall built below her large home. Its purpose isn’t to sell consumer goods to strangers but rather to stash her precious belongings and show them off when friends come over. Among the storefronts are an antique store, doll shop, costume shop, and candy store. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to start building a shopping mall beneath your home, too, Taurus. If that’s too expensive or complicated, here are alternatives: 1. Revitalize your appreciation for your treasured possessions. 2. Acquire a new treasured possession or two that will inspire you to love your life even more than you already do. 3. Reacquaint yourself with the spiritual powers that your treasured possessions arouse in you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): The Dalai Lama says there are core similarities between science and Buddhism. Both keep searching for ever-more complete versions of the truth.

Both employ firsthand observation and experimentation to do that noble work. If they find new information that contradicts previously held versions of the truth, both are willing to discard them. Now that you Geminis are entering the Deep Questioning Phase of your astrological cycle, I’d love you to make generous use of the Buddhist/ scientific approach. More complete versions of the truth will be available in abundance in the coming weeks—if you’re alert for them.

Choosing to Buy Local • Helps strengthen the local economy. Each dollar spent at a small business returns 3 times more money to our community than a dollar spent elsewhere.

• Shopping local creates more jobs. Small businesses employ 77M Americans, that accounts for the 65% of all net new jobs in the past 20 years.

• Local businesses help create and maintain a unique local culture that makes our community special.

Q&A

23

What’s your beverage of choice this summer?

Ranch water. Tequila, Topo Chico, and lime.

Tea milkshakes at the Tea Baz for sure.

@ZBMIKS/INSTAGRAM

@JOSIAH.FL/INSTAGRAM

The Herbie at @kardinalhall.

Light lemonade. Vodka, Topo Chico and lemon.

@SIPSFRUITSALAD/INSTAGRAM

@LOVEYRN/INSTAGRAM

My best all time drink is Dewberry Sour but hard to make sense of. Hard to learn because ingredients changes name all the time. Hard to make because it takes time(14years) and hard to drink because you can swallow the unbelievable nonsense in a empty glass. @LUFFAKLEIN/TWITTER

A Virgin Mohito!

Skinny Margarita #channelingcontinentaldivide. @INESSATELEFUS/INSTAGRAM

Lavender Lemonade!

Quarter lemon, 1/2 oz of lavender simple syrup, shot of vodka, top off with club soda.

Vodka, unsweetened green tea and a splash of simply lemonade. @NICHOLAS_HEILMAN/INSTAGRAM

@LYDIAKELLAMS/INSTAGRAM

Nothing now. The correct thing will present itself when it is created.

With family at the beach last week, we drank Skrewball (peanut butter whisky) mixed with Yoohoo. Tasted like a Reese’s Cup, and we called it a SkrewYoo.

@AVERYCRIMEYCAT/TWITTER

@ERICRZ/TWITTER

Provence Rosé.

The Aperol Spritz is, as a matter of fact, a good drink.

Lemonade. Especially from the neighborhood kids’ homemade stand.

hen Eric Dahl, his wife Jill and their two boys moved to Central Virginia from Florida some years ago, it was no coincidence they bought a home in Fluvanna County where his two brothers already lived. Dahl is Fluvanna’s County Administrator. Both sons have since graduated from Fluvanna County High School.

“Jill and I really like the nature aspects of Fluvanna rather than the hustle and bustle of a city,” Dahl says. “That’s why we moved from Tampa—for a little slower pace and more seasons around us.” He particularly cites the outdoor opportunities, some as close as their backyard where he and his wife recently created a firepit and occasionally spot deer strolling through.

“We also enjoy weekend hiking and biking, both locally and in the mountains and also water activities like kayaking on the Rivanna River,” he continues. “At the same time, we appreciate being close to Charlottesville where Jill works.”

REALTOR® Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker/Owner of Monticello Country, Realtors, isn’t surprised the Dahl family chose Fluvanna. “People often move here because someone they know already lives here,” she comments. In fact, she says she and her husband settled in Fluvanna after visiting her parents here many times.

“Affordability is a main attraction in Fluvanna,” she continues. “The County is also diverse—there are young people in their ‘starter homes’ through retirees—including those in age-restricted communities here. There are new developments and single-family homes on multi-acre properties.”

Wilson comments that these days the inventory of homes for sale in the county is the lowest it’s been in years. “Since interest rates remain low,” she adds, “starter homes are in demand. Home buyers in Fluvanna can still find first-time homes under $200,000.” Some first-time buyers stayed in those starter homes as their families grew, then left home, and are now enjoying their retirement in the same dwellings.

Lake Monticello’s motto is “Vacation at Home Year-Round,” Wilson mentions, and points out that slogan applies to the whole county with the Rivanna River, dog parks, shopping, restaurants, recreational opportunities, and activities for children and adults.

Families with children always pay attention to schools. “I raised my twins in the Fluvanna School System,” says Wilson. “All the schools have been remodeled and upgraded in the past 10 years including our new state-of-the-art High School.”

Each of the six county public schools has its own webpage with information about location, enrollment, and school calendars.

Another factor in Fluvanna’s popularity, Wilson says, is that the county is a reasonable commute to both Charlottesville and the Richmond area. In fact,

she recalls, when they first moved here, Wilson worked locally, while her husband worked in Short Pump.

Wilson also sees COVID as another factor affecting regional markets. “Buyers have come to want the rural peace and quiet that areas like Fluvanna offer,” she says. “There is high-speed internet at Lake Monticello and FireFly is also expanding into the county. Having good internet accessibility greatly adds to the attraction of rural living as folks increasingly work from home.”

Wilson cautions that there are fewer properties for sale these days. “In previous years we would have had three-to-four times the amount of homes and lots for sale.”

The Past and The Present Fluvanna County dates back to 1777 as part of Henrico, then Goochland, then Albemarle Counties before finally

becoming its own entity. It celebrates its history with nearly 20 National Historical Landmarks from the Courthouse in Palmyra to the slate-roofed Seay’s Chapel Methodist Church built at the turn of the last century.

The 1854 Pleasant Grove House is another National Historical Landmark.

Now the centerpiece of Pleasant Grove Park, it was once part of a plantation growing tobacco and other produce, shipping the products to Richmond on the Rivanna River.

Today, the house is the County Museum and Welcome Center where visitors may tour the historic dwelling and browse exhibit galleries on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from noon to 4 p.m. on weekends. Admission is free.

The park itself is a generous triangle of land adjacent to Fluvanna High School and roughly bounded by Route 53 on the

west and the Rivanna River on the east.

About 25 years ago, the county purchased close to 1,000 acres of farmland and eventually the Fluvanna Heritage Trail Foundation began creating an extensive trail system.

Today the Parks and Recreation Department has created more than 20 miles of trails starring river habitat—home to river otters, eagles, and aquatic birds—untended grassy fields where wildflowers, hawks, songbirds, and rabbits can be spotted—and woodlands.

For example, visitors on the Tree Identification Trail can learn the names of many native trees. A guide to the various trails may be downloaded from the county website. Park visitors also enjoy the butterfly garden, The park also has a children’s playground plus softball, baseball. and soccer fields as well as an 18-hole disc golf course. Picnic shelters may be rented or are available on a first-come, first-served basis when not reserved. And there is a community garden at the park with close to 100 individual plots that may be rented by the year and have public access to water.

County Administrator Dahl points out the Dog Park is also popular. “There are three different gated areas,” he explains, “so owners can choose for their dog to be with larger or smaller dogs.”

Waste disposal bags are provided. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and leashed except in the runs. The Dog Park area is also the starting point for the trailheads for a self-guided fitness circuit and the Sandy Beach Trail, an ADA-accessible gravel trail leading to the Rivanna River.

Not Just Residential “Fluvanna has consistently shown residential growth and we are starting to see the commercial growth catch up,” says Bryan Rothamel, a Fluvanna native and

Youth Sports The local schools are home to the Flucos—school-based athletic teams. A number of sports leagues serve Fluvanna youth including softball, baseball, basketball, soccer and aquatic teams. The Carysbrook Sports Complex on Route 15, between Palmyra and Fork Union, hosts a variety of recreational venues.

There’s a playground plus softball and baseball fields for youth activities. An

indoor gym hosts basketball and pickleball.

When not scheduled for league use, both indoor and outdoor facilities are open to the public. The hours vary by season.

“I had been living in a home that was not safe or healthy for me or anyone else.

I don’t know where I would be living today if it weren’t for AHIP.”

Seniors “There is a huge senior community with lots of support here in Fluvanna,” says REALTOR® Wilson who’s been a Meals on Wheels volunteer since its inception in the county more than ten years ago. “We have eight routes,” she says, “and I deliver meals one day a week.”

Indeed, folks find this a great place to retire. The county’s Senior Programs offer a range of activities—many free—for those 55 and older including charitable projects, exercise programs, guest speakers and community forums. One example is JABA (Jefferson Area Board on Aging) which operates programs including lunch and social doings at several locations in the county.

In addition, JAUNT serves Fluvanna with a circulator route within the county and a commuter route with stops between Fork Union, Charlottesville, and urban Albemarle County. Trips are discounted for seniors and persons with disabilities and include service to the Fork Union Senior Center on appropriate days.

Et Cetera Wilson also points out that as the county’s population grows modestly, there are an increasing number of restaurants, groceries, specialty shops, and other businesses people want to have handy.

Two locally owned Fluvanna wineries are popular as they offer indoor and outdoor seating, wine-tasting, musical events, fundraisers for local non-profits, dinners, and other entertainments. Family-owned Cunningham Creek Winery has a Palmyra mailing address and Thistle Gate Vineyard’s address is Scottsville, but it is located in Fluvanna County. Both have websites detailing special events such as specific musicians.

“We have a high rate of locally owned businesses,” Wilson continues. “In addition, we have both UVA & Martha Jefferson Physician offices here as well as dentists, optometrists, and chiropractors.

We also have the Lake Monticello Fire Dept and elsewhere, we have county Fire & Rescue stations.”

For complete information about historical, social and recreational aspects of the county including calendars of activities, visit FluvannaCounty.org.

Bottom Line “Fluvanna County is a great place to live or play, from first-time home buyers to retirees,” concludes Wilson. “We are growing in a sensible way. There is always somewhere to volunteer and many great organizations to get involved in. There are churches, clubs, parks, all sorts of recreation, river excursions, restaurants and so much more.”

ment Coordinator. “We are working to create a county where residents have a full community. Fluvanna County benefits by allowing residents to live and work in the same community.

“In the last year Fluvanna County led the region in job creation.” For example, in October the county announced that Silk City Printing was moving from New Jersey to Fork Union, investing close to $6 million and creating nearly 100 jobs. The company is already operating as one of the county’s largest private employers.

This past May, he continues, California-based Stewart Tool Company committed to investing more than $9 million to establish its first East Coast manufacturing operation by renovating a former metals facility in Troy. This will create more than 20 well-paying positions.

Clearly, Fluvanna is working to successfully attract businesses. One way is through Project Fluvanna. “We are developing our own in-house workforce pipeline, called Project Fluvanna,” details Rothamel. “It builds off our career and technical education (CTE) program at Fluvanna High School by exposing students to a multitude of classes.” These classes include carpentry, agriculture, basic plumbing and electrical training, machining, and video production.

“Our goal is for graduates from Fluvanna to be able to start their careers with entry-level jobs right in Fluvanna at places like Silk City,” he explains.

In addition, Fluvanna County has a constant outreach to businesses who might be seeking to relocate to Central Virginia or the East Coast. The county particularly targets business, financial and health services, light manufacturing, transportation, agribusiness, food processing and forest and wood products.

All these strategies are bearing fruit.

During Rothamel’s tenure, the department has been responsible for Fluvanna County landing 135 new jobs, $17.8 million of investment, and increased small business support through the Central Virginia Small Business Development Center.

“As we look forward to the next growth, Zion Crossroads has seen increased interest” Rothamel concludes, “and we are also working on developing a county-owned business park in the Fork Union area. Colonial Circle near Lake Monticello will have over 300 housing units and 80,000 square feet available for retail use.”
