THIS WEEK

Hurricane Ida crashed through Louisiana on Sunday afternoon, making landfall with 150-mileper-hour winds and leaving a million people without power. The Category 4 storm hit on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which killed more than 1,800 people. The power outages from Ida threw the sewage system out of whack, and damaged water mains as well, leaving at least one Louisiana parish without water “for some part of the foreseeable future,” reports CNN. As climate change makes severe weather events more common, it’s more important than ever to remember that natural disasters aren’t felt equally. People who live in unstable conditions, people who don’t have the money or flexibility to evacuate, people who are already physically vulnerable—these people feel the wind’s gusts most sharply. We see the same effect play out closer to home, time and time again, as pipelines get run through rural areas and sea levels swallow coastal communities.

Fortunately, the next generation is on the case. This week, activist groups got together with some of Virginia’s best and brightest legislators for a conference to discuss the next steps for climate justice in the commonwealth (p. 13). The future is bleak, but all is not lost yet. We’re going to have to save the world—and we’re going to have to make sure we save it for everybody.—Ben Hitchcock

IN BRIEF McAuliffe scoffs at lawsuit

The Republican Party of Virginia filed a lawsuit last week, alleging that Democratic candidate for governor Terry McAuliffe had failed to properly fill out his campaign paperwork and arguing that the former governor shouldn’t be allowed on the ballot this fall. The Associated Press reports that several state election law experts expect the lawsuit to fail.

Hospital mandates vax UVA Health enacted a vaccine mandate for its employees last week, meaning the 2,000 employees who had so far not gotten the shot will need to get vaccinated or hit the road. The hospital system made the move in light of rising case counts in the region, and also after the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine for full use.

Ball together A

ll eyes were on Tonsler Park Sunday night for the Banks Collage Basketball Association Championship. Some fans set up lawn chairs around the court, and others leaned on the fence. Kids played on the playground while parents cheered on their teams.

Some people drank beer, others bought sno-cones.

The Charlottesville-based summer and winter basketball league draws high-level amateur players from all over the commonwealth. The championship is the culmination of months of play in Tonsler Park. This year, Team Legends, coached by George Rivera and Eugene Davis, faced off against the defending BCBA champions Team Takeover, coached by Antoine Johnson and Justin Shiflett. Takeover held the

lead for the majority of the game, until a turnover early in the second half led to a Legends layup from John “Prototype” Fitch, who then was fouled and went to the line for a one-andone. Prototype performed under pressure and tied the game, but not long after, a Takeover layup by Demario “Logo” Mattox put them decidedly in the lead, where they stayed for a final score of 55-45.

Slow mail delivery continues to be a problem in Charlottesville.

A local source tells C-VILLE that post office management’s poor treatment of carriers has caused area postal employees to quit, call in sick, and look for other places to work.

“Their work is also incredibly hard and draining. They are driving in unairconditioned trucks, and walking in the heat and cold.”

Multiple mail carriers didn’t want to speak to the press about the situation, for fear of retribution from bosses.

Due to the staff shortages, the stretched-thin carriers have no choice but to work overtime to finish their deliveries, often working in the wee hours of the morning or late in the evening. Some work as many as 72 hours per week, the source claims.

“People are quitting,” says the source. “They’re not showing up to work, calling in sick, finding other employment.”

The Charlottesville Post Office is now holding three job fairs every week, in addition to advertising jobs through mail and online. The starting pay is $18.01 an hour for city carriers, and $19.06 an hour for rural carriers.

Warner said he will return to Charlottesville in three months to make sure the mail delays are solved.

@cville_weekly

For years, residents have complained about slow mail delivery in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. After receiving hundreds of messages from constituents about the delays, U.S. Senator Mark Warner visited the Char– lottesville Post Office on Route 29 last week, demanding the office address its mail carrier shortage and poor management. Warner and Senator Tim Kaine also sent a letter to U.S. Postal Service Virginia District Manager Gerald Roane urging him to fix these issues.

“I’ve been getting a higher volume of complaints about mail delivery in Charlottesville by far than anywhere else in the commonwealth,” said Warner, according to NBC29. “If you don’t have 14 of your carriers and you need 85, you’ve got to do a better job of hiring folks.”

But according to one local resident with intimate knowledge of the Charlottesville Post Office, office management needs to make it worth working there.

“The treatment of carriers is demanding and dehumanizing. They are treated so badly,” says the source.

Christopher Newport’s Wason Center polled 800 likely voters and found Terry McAuliffe with a 50 percent to 41 percent edge over GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin.

Early returns City, county, university see COVID cases spike with return of students

By Ben Hitchcock editor@c-ville.com

SENTARA MARTHA JEFFERSON HOSPITAL IS OFFERING A

FREE BREAST HEALTH SCREENING

L

ast week, city and county public schools welcomed students back for five-days-a-week, in-person instruction for the first time since March 2020. Both districts have already reported COVID-19 cases among students, but say they still feel confident in their health and safety precautions.

After the first day of classes, two city schools students reported symptoms, and Assistant Superintendent Jim Henderson sent a message to families.

“This week, we have had several students report COVID diagnoses, including two who spent time at our schools. These situations are unfortunate but, in a pandemic, they are not unexpected,” Henderson wrote on August 25. “We are doing our part by following all CDC recommendations. We continue to tweak our implementation to keep everyone as safe as possible.”

“The health department remains confident in our mitigation measures,” wrote CHS Principal Eric Irizarry after the first day. “While we anticipate that this incident is contained, it’s a good reminder for all of us to promote healthy behaviors.”

At press time, city schools reported 13 total student coronavirus cases and nine staff cases so far this year.

On Grounds “Meanwhile, at UVA, the first two weeks of classes have seen 114 cases among faculty, staff, students, and contract employees. As of Monday, the university reports 84 active cases.

Early-semester COVID case spikes were to be expected. Last fall, the rolling sevenday average of total new cases peaked at 26.9, in late September, before declining and leveling off until the beginning of the spring semester.

The seven-day average for new cases at UVA right now is 10.4. On August 29 of last year, it was 12.7.

As of August 29, UVA hospital had 50 COVID-positive patients in the building for treatment, including three who had been newly admitted on the 29th.

A little further afield, Liberty University has put a campus-wide quarantine in effect, just four days after students returned for the fall semester. Unlike other Virginia schools, such as UVA and William & Mary, Liberty didn’t require students to get vaccinated before returning to Lynchburg, and the university reports 159 active cases as of August 25.

In the area, roughly 70 percent of children aged 12 to 17 are vaccinated, according to the Blue Ridge Health District. The city schools require employees to be fully vaccinated by September 15, or they’ll be required to show a weekly negative COVID test.

City school board member Lashundra Bryson Morsberger expressed some frustration with the state of COVID preventions in schools and the commonwealth. COVID is “worse than last August,” she wrote on Twitter last weekend. “We have less flexibility, and the kids are back in class…It feels like we’re in the twilight zone. This is crazy.”

County schools saw an increase in COVID cases when students returned for five-days-a-week, in-person classes.

Map quest Latest draft of city’s land use map scales back proposed housing density

By Sean Tubbs

SUPPLIED IMAGE

T

Here are some of the changes in the latest version of the city’s proposed Future Land Use Map. In the circled areas, the previous version of the map included mixed-use nodes, meaning commercial and residential buildings of up to five stories would have been allowed.

Those areas are once again designated for residential-only construction.

The Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition is handing out yard signs that express support for reforming the zoning code.

restoration of the second map so that more triplexes and quadplexes can be built across the city.

“It appears the revised [map] you are considering this week will likely significantly limit Charlottesville’s ability to meet its goal of providing additional multifamily housing without furthering displacement,” reads the letter. “In some cases, the latest draft makes it harder to build new homes than the status quo.”

Other changes in the map reflect rezoning applications that are making their way through the process. Piedmont Housing Alliance is seeking to build 145 units on a section of Park Street, north of the U.S. 250 bypass. That land is currently designated as low-intensity residential but the new map has increased that to “high-intensity residential.”

The latest draft also includes a proposed overlay for “sensitive communities” in areas with households believed to be prone to displacement. The city’s Housing Advisory Committee argues that the new plan should limit new high-density developments in communities like 10th and Page and Fifeville.

“Retaining existing homes and residents, and supporting homeownership and generational wealth-building, is important throughout the city, but there are sensitive areas that may require additional affordability requirements, incentives, or other tools to support these goals,” reads a portion of RHI’s presentation to the Planning Commission.

The Planning Commission discussed the land use map at a meeting on Tuesday night that took place too late for this edition. Cville Plans Together will host a public steering committee meeting over Zoom on Wednesday, September 1. Watch this space for updates on the Comprehensive Plan process in the coming weeks.

an improvement over the May version. The spokesperson did not want to be identified, but the group’s physical address is the law firm Flora Pettit.

“We are happy to see some of the more obviously inappropriate Mixed-Use Nodes have been nixed, a few Medium Intensity Residential zones have been pared back, emphasis on actual affordable housing production has been increased, and verbiage has been added to suggest multifamily buildings should be ‘house-sized,’ consider the context of surrounding neighborhoods and respect more reasonable height limits,” reads the email.

Another group, Livable Cville, has formed to advocate for increased density across the city. Its letter to the Planning Commission asks for the

September 1 – 7, 2021 c-ville.com

he latest version of the Future Land Use Map, a much-debated document that will guide Charlottesville’s development as the city begins to rewrite its zoning code, is out for review.

The map is intended to steer Charlottesville toward a future with more affordable places to live.

“We believe this draft continues to support the goal of increasing housing options and affordability throughout the city, by supporting multifamily residential at a variety of scales, on all residential parcels,” said Jennifer Koch of the firm Rhodeside & Harwell (RHI).

Others aren’t so sure, including at least one member of the Planning Commission.

“We were promised a process that would be intentional about centering the voices of those who haven’t historically been considered in land use decision making,” said Rory Stolzenberg in a comment on Twitter this past Sunday. “Now it appears that [Cville Plans Together] is specifically prioritizing our wealthiest landowners.”

In late 2019, the city hired RHI to restart a review of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The first step of that process was to enact an affordable housing plan, which City Council did in March. One highlevel priority in the plan is “to address the legacy of exclusionary zoning and constrained housing supply in Charlottesville.”

In order to meet that goal, RHI drafted a land use map, showing where zoning could change in the city to allow more density. In late March, the Planning Commission saw the first version of the map, and a majority of commissioners asked for higher by-right density across the city, particularly in neighborhoods that are currently predominated by single family homes.

RHI took those comments into consideration and released a second map in late April. At that point, some residents of singe-family neighborhoods expressed concerns that their land was being designated for “medium-intensity residential” with as many as 12 units allowed per lot. Several “neighborhood mixed-use nodes,” spots where commercial buildings could be added to residential neighborhoods, were spread around the city, which also drew the ire of some homeowners.

A group called Citizens for Responsible Planning formed to oppose the changes. At the same time, the Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition led a campaign to push for higher densities.

The latest map scales back many of the more ambitious proposals in from the April version.

In the April map, the Lewis Mountain neighborhood had been designated as medium-intensity.

In the newest iteration, that has mostly changed back to general residential. Similar scope reductions were made in the Barracks/Rugby and North Downtown neighborhoods.

The text definition for “general residential” has changed as well, reducing theoretical building height from 3.5 stories to 2.5. However, four units would be allowed on each lot if the fourth one was kept below market value. The first two maps limited that to three.

A person speaking for Citizens for Responsible Planning said in an email that the latest version is

“In trying to think through what their priorities ought to be, [politicians] hear these as separate issues,” says Harris. “What we’re trying to do is help them see from a larger framework that they’re all connected.”

The Climate Equity Work Group hopes to host the retreat annually, and feature more speakers and legislators next year.

“I hope that we will be able to take what we learned and really integrate it into our policies,” says Rasoul. “It’s not just enough to advocate for renewable energy—we have to be more holistic in our approach and make sure that environmental and intersectional justice is front and center.”

“I took away a sense of hope about what’s possible for Virginia, and ultimately for our planet,” says Harris. “What we do here has a long reaching impact.”

nvironmental activists celebrated last summer when Dominion Energy announced it was canceling the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which would have brought natural gas 600 miles from West Virginia to North Carolina, crossing right through central Virginia and disrupting a historically Black community in rural Buckingham County. Activists have since turned their focus to the many other environmental issues across the state, from the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline in western Virginia to rising sea levels in Hampton Roads.

Last week, state legislators learned more about the importance of addressing such issues through an equity lens at the firstever Virginia Environmental Justice Retreat, hosted by the Climate Equity Work Group.

Founded in 2019, the organization—composed of representatives from activist groups Appalachian Voices, New Virginia Majority, Progress Virginia, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light, and Virginia Organizing—advocates for environmental reforms with a strong focus on racial and economic justice in Virginia.

The two-day virtual retreat featured a dozen speakers, including activists, lawyers, scientists, and more. Thirteen legislators were in attendance, including state Senator Creigh Deeds, who represents Charlottesville and part of Albemarle County.

“Our goal was to meet with, convene with, co-learn, collaborate, and have shared dialogue with our state leaders who have been clearly supportive on these issues in the General Assembly, [and] in their districts,” says Tyneshia Griffin, environmental policy research analyst for New Virginia Majority, a progressive legislation advocacy group. “We

really wanted to come together with them, and go a little bit deeper on these issues, so we work from the same foundation and values.”

“This was a way [legislators] could take a bird’s eye view of their work, and why it’s so important they center climate and environmental justice,” adds Faith Harris, co-director of Virginia Interfaith Power & Light, which encourages religious communities to adopt sustainable living practices. “They can accomplish most of their environmental goals by centering climate and environmental justice.”

The retreat focused on the equity issues that come with transitioning to renewable energy, like wind and solar, and the communities often left behind, such as coal miners.

“There needs to be thought and expertise given to how we make that move without bringing harm to those communities that have been based in the fossil fuel industry,” says Harris. “How do we retrain people, recreate services, and rebuild communities based on the loss of the fossil fuel industry?”

Speakers also highlighted a new environmental-justice mapping tool, commissioned by the Virginia Environmental Justice Collaborative, which identifies communities in Virginia that face a disproportionate pollution burden, and therefore could require strategic investment and resources. According to the tool, parts of Charlottesville have a high pollution burden, including Ridge Street, Cherry Avenue, and Greenbrier Drive.

“It was great to learn there are tools that can actually map out communities,” says state Delegate Sam Rasoul, who also attended the retreat. “There are related policies that will hopefully be able to be crafted with all of that in mind. As we’re developing the communities of the future, we need to ensure we have these tools at our disposal.”

“Any environmental plan must be environmentally just, in a sense that it must be

UVA will shine on offense this season.

T

his Saturday, the Virginia Cavaliers will return to a full-capacity Scott Stadium for the first time in almost two years.

The team will face considerable opposition if it wants to repeat its ACC Coastal Division-winning 2019 performance: Most preseason polls have UVA finishing fifth of eight teams in the Coastal, trailing UNC, Miami, Pitt, and Virginia Tech. UNC and Miami in particular boast strong, star-packed rosters.

But for the Wahoo faithful, there’s plenty of reason to believe. The Cavs handled the tumult of the pandemic remarkably well in 2020, winning four of their last five games to finish the season at 5-5. And heading into 2021, the roster has quite a few players who were a part of the memorable 2019 season, which saw Bryce Perkins lead the Cavaliers to their first ACC Championship appearance in program history.

Dontayvion Wicks, who was out last season due to injury, and Ra’Shaun Henry, who racked up 206 yards and four touchdowns in 2020, are valuable options for Armstrong as well.

The Cavaliers have three play-making running backs available to start: senior Wayne Taulapapa, sophomore Mike Hollins, and senior Ronnie Walker, Jr. Taulapapa returns for the Hoos after rushing for 395 yards in 2020. He’ll look to add to his 17 career touchdowns. Hollins opted out of the 2020 season but secured three touchdowns in 2019. Walker ran for 66 yards in four games after transferring from Indiana halfway through last year.

At tight end, Armstrong has an exciting new target to aim for: Jelani Woods, a 6'7", 275 lb transfer from Oklahoma State.

When he arrived at UVA, Woods selected the number 0 for his jersey, because, Woods says, 0 is the number of people who can stop him. Now that’s the right attitude.

ON DEFENSE

17

The secondary will make or break the season for UVA. In 2020, the defense struggled, in part due to injury, giving up an average of 442.9 yards per game (10th in the ACC), 6.4 yards per play (14th in the ACC), and 29.6 points per game (ninth in ACC). The defensive backfield allowed 304 passing yards per game, which ranked last in the ACC and 123rd out of 127 FBS teams.

On the bright side, last season’s Hoos finished fourth in the ACC in rushing yards allowed per game, sixth in sacks with 32, and sixth in interceptions with 11. These aren’t extraordinary numbers, but at least the team has a foundation to build on entering the season.

Nick Jackson is the linebacker to watch. As an inside linebacker, he earned a spot on the all-ACC Third Team in 2020 after leading the Hoos with 105 tackles on the inside (ranked sixth nationally) and averaged 10.5 tackles per game (second in the ACC). Jackson was named to the preseason watchlist for the Butkus Award, which goes to the best linebacker in the country.

Senior safeties Joey Blount and De’Vante Cross are ready to rectify the mistakes of last season. Blount, an all-ACC performer in 2019, missed time in 2020 due to an injury but still managed one interception, one forced fumble, and a sack. Cross started all 10 games in 2020 and finished the season with 29 tackles, two interceptions, one sack, and six passes defended.

ON OFFENSE

MATT RILEY / UVA ATHLETICS

The Cavaliers are 16-2 at home over the last three seasons. They’re 6-13 when playing away from Charlottesville during the same stretch. That home-field advantage should continue this season, as Scott Stadium will be open to its full 61,500-seat capacity to start the season.

Joey Blount, who was injured for half of last season, is making up for lost time as a “super senior,” one of three UVA players who is taking advantage of an extra year of eligibility. Senior wide receiver Billy Kemp IV, who will also be the team’s punt returner, rushed for 644 yards and one touchdown last year. De’Vante Cross, another super senior, started all 10 games for the Cavs in 2020, and finished the season with 29 tackles, two interceptions, one sack, and six passes defended.

Home sweet home

September 1 – 7, 2021 c-ville.com

UVA will shine on offense this season. The 2020 unit averaged 30.7 points per game, the first time UVA has averaged more than 30 points per game in the ACC. Quarterback Brennan Armstrong, the 6'2", 215-pound redshirt junior from Shelby, Ohio, will lead the charge. Armstrong threw for 2,117 yards and 18 touchdowns, and was the Cavaliers’ leading rusher with 552 yards in 2020. He also threw 11 interceptions, more than competitors like UNC’s Sam Howell (seven) and Miami’s D’Eriq King (five).

Armstrong is one of seven returning quarterbacks in the country with a ProFootballFocus rating over 90. With spring and summer training curtailed by COVID in 2020, he struggled to find rapport with his offense, especially in the early part of the season. After a full season as the starter and a full offseason of work, Armstrong should be better than ever come fall.

The secret to UVA’s success this year will be keeping the team’s signal caller healthy and out of harm’s way—which is where the Cavaliers’ offensive line comes in. The OL has six key linemen returning: Olusegun Oluwatimi, Ryan Nelson, Chris Glaser, Ryan Swoboda, Bobby Haskins, and Joe Bissinger. Although the starting five have yet to be announced, it’s safe to say that Armstrong has experienced men protecting him.

A good quarterback is nothing without quality receivers and running backs, and luckily Armstrong has plenty. Senior Keytaon Thompson, who serves as a back-up quarterback and wide receiver, returns for the Hoos after rushing 39 times for 234 yards and three touchdowns, and catching seven passes for 98 yards and three TDs. Senior wide receiver Billy Kemp IV is a solid option for Armstrong as well, after rushing 644 yards and securing one touchdown in 2020. Kemp will also be the team’s starting punt returner. Big man Lavel Davis, Jr. made waves last season with 20 receptions for 515 yards and five touchdowns before tearing his ACL. Davis was originally slated to return in November, but in a recent press conference Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall teased a potential earlier return.

ON THE COMPETITION The Cav’s opening game against William & Mary should get the team off the mark with a win. After that, things quickly get more difficult: UVA has September road games against the season’s two highest-ranked ACC opponents, UNC and Miami. Both programs boast star quarterbacks: UNC starting

UVA Class of 2019 star quarterback Bryce Perkins has impressed in this year’s NFL preseason—Perkins threw for more than 450 yards and three touchdowns over the course of the Los Angeles Rams’ three preseason games.

The Arizona native went undrafted in 2019 and spent 2020 on the Rams’ practice squad, but now looks set to enter the season as L.A.’s third-string passer.

Old friends

Heading into 2021, the roster has quite a few players who were a part of the memorable 2019 season, which saw the Cavaliers make their first ACC Championship appearance in program history.

September 1 – 7, 2021 c-ville.com

Senior cornerback Nick Grant is aided by the addition of grad transfer Anthony Johnson. Grant had 31 total tackles (25 solo), one forced fumble, and two interceptions in 2020.

In 2019, Johnson had 27 total tackles, six points defended, three forced fumbles, and one interception at Louisville.

The defensive line is filled with experienced returning starters: Mandy Alonso, Adeeb Atariwa, Aaron Faumui, and Jahmeer Carter, plus freshman Bryce Carter, UVA’s highestranked recruit for 2021.

passer Sam Howell is on the watchlist for the Heisman, and dynamite Miami quarterback D’Eriq King returns for the Hurricanes after tearing his meniscus and ACL. The Hoos have a dismal record on the road in recent years.

They went 2-3 on the road in 2019 and 0-4 in 2020. Even so, UVA has beaten UNC for the past four years, including last season with Howell under center.

Miami, however, is a different story. UVA has lost to Miami on the road three times in the past four years. The Cavs beat Miami in 2018, when the Hoos and Hurricanes met at Scott Stadium, where UVA was able to pull off a three-point victory.

Despite a stacked offensive roster, the Cavaliers may need a miracle to win at Miami on September 30.

Later in the season, UVA can look forward to a tough home game against highly ranked Notre Dame, and a tricky matchup against Pitt in Pittsburgh on November 20. Then on November 27, Virginia Tech comes to town, and UVA will attempt to win the Commonwealth Cup for just the second time in the last 18 seasons.

It’s the million dollar question, isn’t it: Will UVA beat Tech? The Hokies shouldn’t be any great shakes this season, coming off a three-year run where the team accumulated a 19-18 record. Quarterback Braxton Burmeister had an injury-riddled, inconsistent season last year before leading Tech to victory over UVA in the annual November matchup.

The Hokies lost their best offensive lineman and running back to the NFL, but added a transfer from Clemson along the defensive line.

With any luck, a jam-packed Scott Stadium crowd will cheer the Hoos as they topple their arch rivals in November.

We can dream, can’t we?

Now that he’s based in the Peach State again, he’s taking a more intuitive approach to his music, and the resulting album is soft, reflective, and soulful.

Just like local alt-weeklies, local alt-radio stations are fans of the well-crafted pun.

Which is why WTJU’s Freefall Music Festival is exactly what it sounds like: concerts throughout the fall, completely free! The series kicks off with a Labor Day weekend cookout. Munch on hot dogs and chug local brews as WTJU DJs spin vinyl from the station’s collection. The live music begins with New Orleans honky-tonk outfit Zuzu’s Hot Five, then eases into Susie and the Pistols’ (above) mix of Americana and R&B before Ebony Groove closes out the night with some go-go. To top it off, there’s a chance to break a world record —the station needs 321 participants to create the world’s largest human music note. Free, 3pm. IX Art Park, 522 Second St SE, ixartpark.org.

Orion Faruque finds the silver lining with debut album

By Alana Bittner arts@c-ville.com

W

hen Orion Faruque was a child, and adults asked him, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” he remembers thinking, “I kinda just want to sit in my bedroom and play music.”

Now, at 29, Faruque is a working musician, and also the founder of local recording and production studio RedMusic Productions. Through his solo project, Orion and the Melted Crayons, he’s released singles and played many, many gigs. But when the pandemic hit, Faruque found himself sitting in his bedroom, playing music—it became the perfect environment to write Orion and the Melted Crayon’s debut album, The Good Stuff.

Faruque has experience creating under extreme circumstances. When he left Charlottesville to attend McNally Smith College of Music in Minnesota, he took nothing but a duffel bag and a guitar and slept on the floor of an empty apartment, until a concerned neighbor offered him a mattress. “I was 20 years old and like, ‘this is awesome!’” he laughs. Soon after graduating, he moved to his grandparents’ house near Asheville, North Carolina, to “go live on top of this mountain and study myself as a person and an artist.” He says that “during that time, I wrote something absurd, like 65 songs.”

These experiences line up with Faruque’s musical philosophy. “I aggressively haven’t given myself the option to do anything other than music,” he says. “I could get another job to support it. But if I do that, I’m not gonna do what I need to do. I need to feel like I’m starving to make music.”

Yet after moving back to Charlottesville in 2018 and jumping into the hectic pace

of shows and tours, Faruque started to feel burned out. “You’re playing a bar show out of town, people have no idea who you are, and there’s a bunch of drunk people yelling for you to play some song you don’t know,” he says. “On some level, it’s like, ‘What am I doing?’”

The pandemic gave Faruque time to reconnect with his music on an intuitive level.

“I was just making sounds in my apartment,” he says. “I hear a song in my head, I’m gonna play it. I feel like there’s true beauty there.”

A few months into the COVID shutdown, he realized he’d written enough songs to make an album. The Good Stuff will debut on September 3 on Spotify and Bandcamp, with a release party at The Southern Café & Music Hall on September 4.

The album draws upon Appalachian roots, but Faruque also branches out. “If you take funk and jam band music together, then add the lyrical sensibilities of folk and the colors of jazz and sound,” he says, “it creates a really interesting sound.” On the funky, psychedelic tune “What Is Love,” he plays every instrument, and saxophonist Gina Sobel, Kendall Street Company’s Ryan Wood, Louis Smith, and Brian Roy help out on other tracks.

While musically diverse, the album is centered around one theme: focusing on the good stuff. “E9” is a meditation on what we can learn from the pandemic, while “The Letter” explores Faruque’s grief around losing his dad at 14. Even then, he retains threads of hope. In “The Letter,” he sings: “If it’s raining / why is the sun shining through?”

With the debut album done, what’s next for The Melted Crayons? “I really hope that I don’t have to make a record like this for a while, just because it was so much work,” Faruque jokes. But that seems unlikely for a musician who doesn’t give himself the option to do anything else.

Orion Faruque will celebrate The Good Stuff with a release party at The Southern Café & Music Hall on Saturday.

Tips for tippin’ it back CRUCIBLE COFFEE ROASTERS The true rewards of buying from an area roaster is coffee that is extremely fresh. In addition to seasonal selections of single-origin producers, Crucible offers four house blends that cater to different tastes. Before the Dawn is a combination of Central and South American washed and natural beans. It’s a bold, darker roast full of chocolate and smoke flavors. ($10/12oz) cruciblecoffee.com

Ox-Eye Vineyards Riesling is the star at Ox-Eye. The 2019 Riesling ($18/750ml) is hightoned, off dry, with lemon-lime citrus flavors and hints of honeysuckle. The 2019 Scale House Reserve Riesling ($22/750ml) has more weight and texture, with flavors of white peaches and nectarines and a long citrus acidity on the finish. Both are excellent examples of what riesling can be in Virginia when grown in cooler-climate vineyards. oxeyevineyards.com

Ciders from Mars The highly recommended Pathfinder ($16/750ml) is one of two flagship blends at Ciders from Mars. It balances a bright fruit acidity with just a hint of residual sugar.

he foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains rise quickly as you drive west from Charlottesville. Snake into those hills a little bit and you’ll find Waynesboro and Staunton, where a wealth of history and wonderfully preserved architecture surrounds several craft beverage producers worth seeking out.

If you’re getting an early start, head over to Crucible Coffee Roasters, located in the Staunton Wharf Area Historic District.

Owners Brandon Bishop and Kean Ivey have converted a former auto garage into their coffee roastery and cafe. Bishop and Ivey have been friends since they attended Miller School together, and each brings coffee industry experience to the partnership. Both Bishop and Ivey are originally from small mountain towns, and they opened in Staunton because it’s a place where they knew they could build relationships with regular customers. Crucible has also sought out local partnerships and provides espresso service at nearby Reunion Bakery.

Just a few steps away, you’ll find the tasting room of Ox-Eye Vineyards. The vineyards themselves are in the Shenandoah Valley, an area becoming known in the Virginia wine industry for cooler temperatures, lower rainfall, and limestone soils. At their highest point, Ox-Eye’s vineyards reach 1,830 feet with east-southeast facing slopes, allowing sun exposure during the day while

on sourcing local apples for cider and other local fruits for co-ferments. Prior to opening, they established an apple orchard in western Augusta County to grow apple varieties specifically suited for cider making, and West, a geochemist by training, did coursework at the Cider Institute of North America. In her role as cidermaker, West’s background in science is part of the brand identity, emphasized by the 100ml laboratory beakers used to serve tasting flights. West also clearly sees cider as an artistic endeavor and seeks synergy between science and art. Ultimately, the goal for the downtown Staunton space is that it becomes not just a place for their cider, but a community space to experience local music and art.

preserving cooler temps at night. Owners John and Susan Kiers specifically chose this site in order to focus on German and Austrian grapes, which are less common locally. Ox-Eye is well regarded for its riesling, which is among the best expressions of the grape in Virginia. The vineyard’s 100 percent estate-grown wines are also noteworthy for varieties such as grüner veltliner, traminette, pinot noir, and lemburger (also known as blaufränkisch).

For excellent beer, head to Basic City Beer Co. in Waynesboro. Historically, Basic City was an industrial town focused on steel making, located next to Waynesboro at the crossroads of two railroads. Present day Waynesboro is the result of a merger of the two cities, but in the old times, the Waynesboro side of the river was dry, and Basic City was the place to get a beer. The brewery was founded in 2015 by the Lanman brothers and is housed in a former industrial complex once home to metalcrafters. The renovated space speaks to this history, and features indoor and outdoor seating, a large selection of taps at the bar, and food service. While the success of the brewery led to a second location in Richmond in 2018, this is a truly local producer that takes its name and inspiration from its Waynesboro roots.

And if you get bored of central Virginia, blast off to the red planet. Or, at least, check out Ciders from Mars, which opened a tasting room, production space, and laboratory in downtown Staunton this May. Co-owners Nikki West and Jeremy Wimpey are focused

A full range of styles is available on tap and there are also cans for purchase.

The Thresh ($9.99/6-pack), is an excellent version of traditional hefeweizen that is smooth and easy drinking with forward banana and clove flavors. Also recommended, the Motown Maibock ($10.99/6-pack), a German-style lager traditionally released in spring. Basic City uses the increasingly popular New Zealand Pacifica hop in its version, lending floral and orange citrus aroma to a bready, malty body that’s slightly reminiscent of graham crackers. basiccitybeer.com

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22): Several states in the U.S. have statutes prohibiting blasphemy. Saying “God damn it” could theoretically get you fined in Massachusetts, South Carolina, and Wyoming. In the coming days, it’s best to proceed carefully in places like those, since you’ve been authorized by cosmic forces to curse more often and more forcefully than usual. Why? Because you need to summon vivid and intense protests in the face of influences that may be inhibiting and infringing on your soul’s style. You have a poetic license to rebel against conventions that oppress you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Everyone dreams at least three dreams per night. In a year, your subconscious mind generates over 1,100 dreams.

About this remarkable fact, novelist Mila Kundera writes, “Dreaming is not merely an act of coded communication. It is also an aesthetic activity, a game that is a value in itself. To dream about things that have not happened is among humanity’s deepest needs.”

I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because September is Honor Your Dreams Month. To celebrate, I suggest the following experiments.

1. Every night before sleep, write down a question you’d like your dreams to respond to. 2.

Keep a notebook by your bed and transcribe at least one dream each time you sleep. 3. In the morning, have fun imagining what the previous night’s dreams might be trying to communicate to you. 4. Say prayers of gratitude to your dreams, thanking them for their provocative, entertaining stories.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In her autobiography Changing, Sagittarian actor Liv Ullmann expresses grief about how she and a loved one failed to communicate essential truths to each other. I propose we regard her as your anti-role model for the rest of 2021.

Use her error as your inspiration. Make emotionally intelligent efforts to talk about unsaid things that linger like ghostly puzzles between you and those you care about.

Capricorn

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I often wonder who I am and where is my country and where do I belong and why was I ever born at all,” wrote Virgo author Jean Rhys. I don’t think you will be agitated by those questions during the next eight weeks, Virgo. In fact, I suspect you will feel as secure in your identity as you have in a long time. You will enjoy prolonged clarity about your role in the world, the nature of your desires, and how you should plan your life for the next two years. If for some inexplicable reason you’re not already enjoying these developments, stop what you’re doing and meditate on the probability that I am telling you the bold truth.

be immoderate, volatile, excessive, and rampant every day for the rest of your long life.

But I think you will generate health benefits and good fortune if you experiment with that approach in the coming weeks. Can you think of relatively sane, sensible ways to give yourself this salubrious luxury?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While wading through the internet’s wilder terrain, I found a provocative quote alleged to have been uttered by the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. He supposedly said, “My ultimate goal is to look totally hot, but not be unapproachable.” I confess that in the past I have sometimes been fooled by fake quotes, and I suspect this is one. Still, it’s amusing to entertain the possibility that such an august personage as Socrates, a major influencer of Western culture, might say something so cute and colloquial. Even if he didn’t actually say it, I like the idea of blending ancient wisdom with modern insights, seriousness with silliness, thoughtful analysis with good fun. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend you experiment with comparable hybrids in the coming weeks. (PS: One of your goals should be to look totally hot, but not be unapproachable.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you don’t know what you want,” writes Piscean novelist Chuck Palahniuk, “you end up with a lot you don’t.”

Very true! And right now, it’s extra important to keep that in mind. During the coming weeks, you’ll be at the peak of your ability to attract what you want and need. Wouldn’t you prefer to gather influences you really desire—as opposed to those for which you have mild or zero interest? Define your wants and needs very precisely.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Anna Kamienska wrote, “I’ve learned to value failed conversations, missed connections, confusions. What remains is what’s unsaid, what’s underneath. Understanding on another level of being.” In the coming weeks, I suggest you adopt her perspective as you evaluate both past and present experiences. You’re likely to find small treasures in what you’d assumed were wastelands. You may uncover inspiring clues in plot twists that initially frustrated you.

Upon further examination, interludes you dismissed as unimportant or uninteresting could reveal valuable wrinkles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): After studying your astrological omens, I’ve decided to offer you inspiration from the ancient Roman poet Catullus. I hope the extravagant spirit of his words will free you to be greedy for the delights of love and affection. Catullus wrote, “Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred; then another thousand, then a second hundred; then yet another thousand.” I’ll add the following to Catullus’s appeal: Seek an abundance of endearing words, sweet favors and gifts, caresses and massages, help with your work, and fabulous orgasms. If there’s no one in your life to provide you with such blessings, give them to yourself.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Gemini author Elif Batuman writes that the Old Uzbek language was rich in expressions about crying. There were “words for wanting to cry and not being able to, for loudly crying like thunder in the clouds, for crying in gasps, for weeping inwardly or secretly, for crying ceaselessly in a high voice, for crying in hiccups, and for crying while

uttering the sound ‘hay hay.’” I recommend all of these to you in the coming days, as well as others you might dream up. Why? It’s prime time to seek the invigorating release and renewal that come from shedding tears generated by deep and mysterious feelings.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): A blogger named MythWoven imagines an “alternate universe where I literally go to school forever (for free) so I can learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.” I have longings like hers. There’s an eternal student within me that wants to be endlessly surprised with exciting information about interesting subjects. I would love to be continually adding fresh skills and aptitudes to my repertoire. In the coming weeks, I will give free rein to that part of me. I recommend you do the same, my fellow Cancerian.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In 2016, the International Garden Photograph of the Year depicted lush lupine flowers in New Zealand. The sea of tall purple, pink, and blue blooms was praised as “an elegant symphony” and “a joy to behold.”

What the judges didn’t mention is that lupine is an invasive species in New Zealand. It forces native plant species out of their habitat, which in turn drives away native animal species, including birds like the wrybill, black stilt, and banded dotterel. Is there a metaphorically comparable phenomenon in your life, Leo? Problematic beauty? Some influence that’s both attractive and prickly? A wonderful thing that can also be troublesome? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to try to heal the predicament.

Comfy Greene County: You Could Fall in Love with It

BY KEN WILSON

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

G

reene County, Virginia is the place Linda G. Willer (with RE/MAX Action Real Estate) has called home since 1997 when she moved there from Michigan. “We fell in love with Greene when we got here,” she says now.

“It’s beautiful, rural, and friendly.”

David Eddins of Bill May Realty will tell you the same. Born and bred in Greene, he has chosen to remain there his entire 67 years.

“Ain’t that a lot of love?” as Levon Helm of The Band sings in a song that has been rumored—in this article—to have been written about Greene. Sure it was. And no wonder. This is a county with 60-acre Greene Mountain Lake, the trout-stocked South River, and a picturesque little slice of Shenandoah National Park. This is a county with the Ruckersville Antique District and the Greene Hills Golf and Swim Club.

“How do I love Greene?” Shakespeare famously asked. We’re not through counting the ways. We haven’t mentioned the kind of dedication and community spirit you get with neighbors whose roots go back generations, and who expect their kids to stick around and carry on.

We haven’t mentioned fast and easy access to Washington D.C. and northern Virginia, and mere minutes drives to Charlottesville and the Charlottesville-

Albemarle Airport. Add it up. That really is a lot to love.

It was for all these reasons and more, no doubt, that Money Magazine named Greene as one of the “100 best places to live.” Established in 1838, and named for Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene, Greene’s county seat is Stanardsville, where the historic district includes

18th and 19th century homes, the courthouse, and a couple of churches.

Nearby is the Octonia Stone, a boundary marker at the westernmost boundary of the 24,000-acre Octonia Grant, made in 1722 in the name of King George the First by Lieutenant Governor Spottswood. The granite-type stone, part of a natural outcropping in a hayfield, is

engraved with two, nearly perfect circles comprising a figure eight with a cross touching the top.

Beadles House sits on land originally part of the Octonia Grant. The two-story, chestnut and poplar log dwelling was built from 1788 to 1789 by Revolutionary War militia captain John Beadles and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Eats and Antiques Only seven miles down the road is Ruckersville, a lovely little farming community—population 1,321 in 2020—located at the intersection of the county’s two major thoroughfares, U.S. Route 29, and U.S. Route 33.

A good many antiques, fine arts, crafts and collectibles—75,000 square feet worth—cluster around this crossing, with such enchanting names as The Copper Poppy and The Wooly Lam. A day-long Ruckersville Antiques Tour makes stops for lunch and dinner.

Hungry collectors (solo or en masse) can get breakfast before hunting or lunch between all-day hunts at Jack’s Shop Kitchen, a farm-to-table restaurant sandwiched (ouch) between antique dealers on the floors above and below, in a building that was originally a Wrangler brand jeans manufacturing plant.

Where the Living is Easy

piglets were Bein’s first purchase for what is now a grass based rotational grazing farm, where he appreciates caring for the livestock, tending to the garden, and enjoying Virginia’s four distinct seasons.

The sophisticated menu he’s devised changes seasonally to highlight the bounty of local farmers like himself, but the sweet potato biscuits with chorizo gravy, a couple of poached eggs, and scallions ought to hold you till lunch, and the Quinoa “POWER” Salad should suffice after that—unless you’ve been good and had yogurt for breakfast and feel you’ve earned the duck hot dog with caramelized onion, pate, truffle mustard, and (token green vegetable) arugula.

Recreation and Good Family Fun

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Walking it off might be in order after indulging at Jack’s, and there are so many places to do that in Shenandoah National Park alone. A moderate to moderately strenuous 3.3-mile hike to Doyles River Falls begins with a steep descent, crosses a stream, and actually takes you to two waterfalls. The 63’ lower fall is a sheer drop and is all the more exciting for being close to the trail. The upper, 28’ waterfall, has an especially beautiful setting of trees and rocks.

A mostly moderate four-mile hike with three stone-hopping stream crossings leads to President Hoover’s 164-acre Rapidan Camp, secluded among hemlocks at a point where two streams merge to form the Rapidan River. Hoover bought Doyles River Falls

9, participants can choose from four ride options: 40 and 62-mile road rides, and 37 and 57-mile gravel rides. The entry price of $35 includes lunch at the ride’s end.

For the less intrepid, the Greene County Community Park has walking trails, plus a playground, soccer fields, an 18-hole disc golf course, a pavilion, and restroom facilities.

“Greene used to be a bedroom community for Charlottesville and Albemarle,” Eddins remembers. “Half the people I grew up with went to work for the University [of Virginia]. In those days, “we had a lot of entry level housing.” In addition, “lots of husband-wife teams would move into Greene and raise their families here,” contributing to the community as teachers and coaches or other professional capacities. “We’re into the second and third generations of those families in Greene County and the school system.”

Virginia Clay Festival

the land for his summer weekend retreat in 1929 and found it much needed after the October 1929 stock market crash that began the Great Depression. Three of the camp’s original buildings still survive, as do trails, man-made bridges, fountains, trout pools, and other landscape features.

Mountain bikers in top shape and looking for a challenge will be tempted by the 14.4-mile ride along paved and gravel roads that goes to two scenic Appalachian sites: Stone Mountain Vineyards and the Blue Ridge School, home to two beautiful stone-built National Historic sites, Gibson Chapel and Martha Bagby Battle House.

One good way to learn the lay of the land is the annual Tour de Greene through the county’s beautiful back roads. For the 15th tour, on October

Greene County Talent, Greene County Culture At Greene Farmers Market at Greene Commons in downtown Stanardsville, the county’s farmers sell fruit, vegetables, herbs, honey, eggs, dairy, meat and poultry, plants, crafts, coffee and more. The market is open on Saturdays, 8:00 a.m.to 12:00 noon, April through October.

The Greene Farm & Livestock Show each August is a bevy of shows and demonstrations: rabbit shows, car and tractor shows, farm, blacksmith, food, and equestrian demonstrations, plus pony rides and music. Antiques, poultry, and other farm products are for sale.

The sixth annual Virginia Clay Festival, September 18 and 19 in Stanardsville, will bring artists, entrepreneurs, and teachers together with students, pottery collectors, and musicians to explore clay in its many forms. Artisan food vendors will be on hand, and festivalgoers will

“But over the years, businesses started moving into the county,” Eddins recalls.

Today, in a state consistently ranked in the top 10 of the Best State for Business

by Forbes magazine, Greene is a growing center for retail and light industrial development, and for service industries including defense and security. Good jobs attract folks from all over.

“I’ve helped settle many people in Greene from points north and south of here,” Eddins says, “people that had come into the area to retire. They wanted to be close to good medical services. They liked the four seasons we have in this part of Virginia, and proximity to Washington, DC; we’re only 100 miles away, so you can get to the big airports.”

Naturally, the market has evolved. “We have some very high-end housing now,” Eddins notes. “A lot of folks have discovered that there are some very nice places to build housing. Nice custom homes are

are happening now,” Eddins says. Plans are now going forward for a 1,180-unit, 402-acre housing development along Preddy Creek Road near Ruckersville, to consist of 580 townhouses and 600 single-family homes. Among the amenities under discussion are a pedestrian bridge crossing the Cuddins Run trail and connecting to Preddy Creek Park— plus a public parking area.

Homebuyers old enough for reduced price coffee at McDonalds are welcome in Four Seasons at Charlottesville, a small rural, active-adult community, actually in Greene. The neighborhood currently has 120-some single-family homes. Plans have been drawn for as many as 650 more. Social life at Four Seasons centers on the Clubhouse, with its ballroom, exercise room, indoor pool, kitchens, billiards room, library, and meeting rooms.

Big things may be afoot, but Greene is still a small community, Eddins says, where “you know a lot of people. It’s like you have the best of both worlds: you can live out in the country, but you can be in the big city pretty quick.”

“If you like quiet rural life with beautiful views that we are working very hard to maintain, Greene County is definitely a good option,” says Michelle Wallace, a homeowner since 2003, now evangelizing for her adopted home at the Greene County Visitor Center. It’s just like we’ve been saying: Greene is such an easy place to fall in love with.

being built all over the county.” Some of the most popular lots still are at Greene Mountain Lake (one such parcel is currently on offer for $79,900). But three and four-bedroom homes in the $200 and $300 thousands are available in the neighborhood as well.

Originally designed as a camp site and resort, the area now features private homes and a private lake. Residents can swim, fish, and boat (non-gasoline engines only). Others play volleyball at the lake. The Boy Scouts love it too.

Another typical offering is a $399,000, 3,104 square foot home in the Greenecroft neighborhood of Ruckersville with four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a large breakfast room, a laundry room and office area on the first floor.

Also in Ruckersville, Godalming offers estate homes with pastoral and mountain views on two-plus-acre sites. Prices are in high $500 thousands; lots go for $99,950.

Some high-end homeowners may spend only part of the year in Greene, which is a boon to their wallets, thanks to tourists. “Tourism is still big in the county,” Eddins notes, and more and more part-time residents have found they can find short-term renters through Airbnb.

Lower prices may be found in Greene Acres, a popular Stanardsville community on a small, lovely mountainside lake.

More choices for buyers with modest incomes are coming soon.
