THIS WEEK

I attended Charlottesville High School not too long ago. It’s a busy, lively place, full of smart and interesting people, and I enjoyed my time there. But even as an oblivious high schooler, I could sense that the school reflected the inequities present in its city. In the hallways and cafeteria, I was surrounded by a diverse student body—a majority of the school’s students are people of color.

Then I stepped in to my AP classrooms, and suddenly almost all of my classmates were white.

A 2018 New York Times story on the school district quantifies that effect: “White children are about four times as likely to be in Charlottesville’s gifted program, while Black students are more than four times as likely to be held back a grade and almost five times as likely to be suspended from school,” the Times reported.

Many people across the city are working to remedy the situation. For example, in 2020, the school got rid of its quasi-police school resource officers in favor of unarmed care and safety assistants. Still, the problems in the local education system can’t be fixed overnight, and there’s plenty of work left to do.

This week, Pipeline, an original play that explores these dynamics in vivid detail, opens at Live Arts. Read our preview on page 16—and buy your ticket as soon as you can.—Ben Hitchcock

This week, the Albemarle Planning Commission considered a special use permit for a new hotel on Pantops. The plan was submitted as The Overlook Hotel—the same name as the haunted hotel in Stephen King’s The Shining.

No word yet on whether the new lodge will be possessed by the ghosts of murdered twins.

The 10-foot-high 14th Street bridge has long menaced unsuspecting trucks, but had a slow 2021: Only one vehicle got lodged under the metal overpass, according to truck-tracking CBS19 weatherman Travis Koshko. The bridge is determined to make up for lost trucks, it seems.

But today I am still just a bill Virginia’s 2022 legislative session kicks off Wednesday, January 12, in Richmond. Each legislative session, lawmakers are allowed to prefile a number of proposed bills before the session starts.

Legislative tracker LegiScan shows that 268 bills had been prefiled as of January 10. Republicans, who control the legislature after November’s elections, have been the more active of the two parties in prefiling thus far. Below, take a look at some of the bills that Charlottesville and Albemarle delegates and senators have submitted.

BLUE RIDGE HEALTH DISTRICT

The Blue Ridge Health District has seen a record-breaking coronavirus surge in the last two weeks. On December 30, the district reported 482 new cases, topping the previous record of 453, which was set the day before. Before Christmas of 2022, the most new cases the department had reported in a single day was 245 in February of 2021.

COVID surges

The Future Land Use Map was approved last year.

UVA has moved its booster mandate up to January 14. Initially, all students, faculty, and staff were required to get a booster shot by February 1, but the school’s administration cited the dramatic recent surge in cases locally as the reason for the earlier deadline.

Delegate Chris Runion (R) House Bill 149 would add a hurdle to absentee voting by requiring witnesses to provide their name, date of birth, residence, and the last four digits of their social security number. Currently, witnesses only need to provide a signature.

January 12 – 18, 2022 c-ville.com

Eleven anonymous plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit against the City of Charlottesville, alleging that the recently adopted Future Land Use map—which raises the maximum allowed housing density on certain parcels throughout the city—should be nullified for violating the Virginia code. One couple “purchased their property due to its location in a single-family neighborhood that was suitable for young children,” but the next owners of the property could build up to 12 units on the lot. Oh, the horror!

O Canada…Virginia? reports the Virginia Humanities’ Encyclopedia Virginia.

Notable residents of Canada include Catherine “Kitty” Foster, who was freed from slavery in 1820 and bought two acres of land in Canada, near several other free Black households, in 1833. Foster passed her land on to her descendants, who continued to live there until 1906, before the community was destroyed. In the 1990s and 2000s, archeologists discovered 32 unmarked graves—including Foster’s—where the neighborhood used to be. A memorial to Foster, showing the outline of her house, now stands next to the cemetery on UVA’s South Lawn.

“My family is up in Chicago on both my grandmother and grandfather’s side because of massacres and towns being destroyed,” says Kendall. “So [learning about Canada] wasn’t exactly a surprise, but it was like, ‘Oh damn. Not one of you escaped this history.’”

Next week, Kendall will take a (virtual) trip to her great-grandfather’s hometown, when she speaks at the UVA’s Women’s Center about her feminist work. For over a decade, her work has critiqued modern white feminism, attempting to shed an intersectional light on issues faced by Black women

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

UVA’s South Lawn is home to a memorial to Catherine “Kitty” Foster, a free Black woman who purchased the property in 1833.

Scholar Mikki Kendall has traced her roots back to Charlottesville.

and other women of color. She has coined several viral hashtags on Twitter, including #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, which called out white feminists who defended Hugo Schwyzer, a former college professor who preyed upon young women of color.

“It was weird seeing what was supposed to be feminism centered on men,” she says.

“I wanted the conversation to be about needs and not lipstick and last names.”

In Hood Feminism, Kendall’s most recent book, she argues that basic human needs—including food, health care, safe neighborhoods, and a living wage—are feminist issues too, drawing on her own personal experiences. “[The book] highlights the ways that a lot of communities have the same problems, except the way that they’re discussed are different,” she adds. “Missing and murdered

Indigenous women and missing and murdered Black girls—this is the same problem.”

At UVA, Kendall also plans to discuss the “unacknowledged work” of women, disabled individuals, and genderqueer folk within feminist movements.

“We only talk Rosa Parks in the context of the bus, and never talk about her work to protect women from sexual violence,” says Kendall. “Movements honestly work better when we acknowledge the work being done.”

Kendall is currently working on a book about her family’s genealogy, as well as the construct of America. And when it is safe to do so, she plans to make an in-person visit to the former site of Canada.

Mikki Kendall will speak at the UVA Women’s Center on January 19 at 5 pm.

efore the U.S. abolished slavery in 1865, thousands of enslaved Black Americans escaped from Southern plantations and fled to Canada, where slavery was officially banned in 1834. Many used the Underground Railroad—an extensive network of secret routes, safe houses, free and enslaved Black Americans, and white abolitionists—to make the dangerous journey to freedom. The former slaves settled in free Black communities across southern Canada.

For years, feminist writer and cultural critic Mikki Kendall believed that her greatgrandfather was a descendant of the enslaved Black people who fled to Canada. Her family assumed he eventually immigrated to the United States, where he met her great-grandmother. But when Kendall went looking for her great-grandfather’s name in Canadian records in 2020, she came up empty.

“My grandmother’s father has always been a little bit of a family mystery,” says Kendall, author of New York Times bestseller Hood Feminism and Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists: A Graphic History of Women’s Fight for Their Rights. “They changed their last name at some point…There were two different spellings of the name, and three different stories about where he was from.”

After spending months scouring ancestry. com for records of her great-grandfather, Kendall finally stumbled upon records of his sibling and father. She was surprised to discover that his family was not from the country of Canada, but rather Canada, Virginia—a free Black community near the University of Virginia.

Residents of Canada worked as “washerwomen, seamstresses, carpenters, and cobblers, mostly serving students and faculty,”

“T

o be effective leaders of change, we need two things,” said Councilor Lloyd Snook during last week’s City Council meeting. “We need vision, and we need the ability to build a team to realize that vision.”

Snook will now get a chance to lead that team-building effort. At the beginning of last Wednesday’s meeting, City Council members chose Snook as the next mayor of Charlottesville.

Snook, an experienced local defense attorney, was first elected to City Council at the beginning of 2020, and will serve a twoyear term as mayor. Newly elected Councilor Juandiego Wade will be vice-mayor.

In Charlottesville government, the five city councilors choose the mayor from amongst themselves every two years. The mayor sets the meeting agenda, but doesn’t have much more power than the rest of the councilors. The city manager, who is not directly elected, runs the government’s day-to-day operations.

Snook was elected by a vote of 3-2.

Brian Pinkston and Juandiego Wade voted for Snook, while Sena Magill and Michael Payne voted for Payne.

Magill said she supported Payne because of his ability to express complicated topics in a clear manner, and because of his ability to reach many different people.

“In my two years on council, I’ve seen firsthand that we are a divided community,” Payne said, “divided along race, class, ideology, education level.”

Payne said he hopes efforts to stabilize the city government’s operations don’t mean sacrificing the progressive vision that has animated the city for the last few years.

“I’ve seen us have critical, difficult conversations that we haven’t had in years,” he said. “I’ve also seen us make real policy progress,” citing the adoption of the Future Land Use Map and the city’s affordable housing projects, which represent “one of the highest per-capita affordable housing expenditures in the country.”

“I think it’s vital for us going forward… to have stability with a mission and goal in mind,” Payne said.

Pinkston, Wade, and Snook—the coalition that joined to select Snook as mayor— have all been involved in local Democratic Party politics for years. Snook and Pinkston have served as chair and vice-

New Mayor Lloyd Snook says filling Charlottesville’s city manager vacancy is among his top priorities.

chair of the Charlottesville Democratic Party, respectively, while Wade was been a school board member from 2006 to his election to council last fall.

“I’ve worked with Lloyd for many years.

I think he has the knowledge of city government to handle this position,” Wade said. “I think he has the time to take on this responsibility.”

Two years ago, Nikuyah Walker was elected mayor 3-0, with Snook and Councilor Heather Hill abstaining from the vote.

Snook and Walker clashed during the pair’s overlap on council; Walker called Snook “inept” during a meeting in September.

Juandiego Wade was elected vice-mayor unanimously. “Juandiego Wade has courageousness but also humility,” said Pinkston after nominating Wade, citing his long school board tenure. “I’m grateful for his leadership in the city.”

In his speech accepting the nomination for mayor, Snook emphasized the need for collaboration across city government, and said finding “a city manager who can lead Charlottesville for a decade or more” is among his top goals.

“We have a lot of smart people in Charlottesville,” Snook said, stating that he’d like to set up advisory committees of residents to advise Charlottesville on matters like transit, historic resources, and more.

“We have a good vision, we need to build our team, I’d like to be the next mayor to lead that rebuilding,” he concluded.

“I think it’s vital for us going forward…to have stability with a mission and goal in mind.”

Never again UVA Center for Politics holds panel on Capitol insurrection

“Trump is a loser. He is somebody that knows deep down that he lost the 2020 election.”

Protect the ones you love,

US HOUSE OFFICE OF PHOTOGRAPHY

ust over a year ago, the world watched in horror as thousands of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, spurred by former President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the 2020 election.

Though activists and watchdog groups had warned law enforcement about the attack for weeks, police failed to adequately prepare for the violent mob. Insurgents broke into the Capitol, and occupied the building for several hours, resulting in over a hundred injuries and five deaths.

Last week, the UVA Center for Politics hosted a virtual conference reflecting on the January 6 insurrection, featuring an array of notable politicians, journalists, scholars, authors, and political scientists.

“If our democracy is to survive, then this is something that we can never forget,” said Larry Sabato, political scientist and director of the UVA Center for Politics.

After Trump canceled a press conference scheduled for the 2021 anniversary of the event, CNN Chief Domestic Correspondent Jim Acosta reflected on Trump’s relationship with the media.

“Trump is a loser. He is somebody that knows deep down that he lost the 2020 election,” said Acosta, who served as CNN’s chief White House correspondent during Trump’s presidency. “He knows all too well that Joe Biden had the bully pulpit today, and he was going to get all of the television coverage…the major networks were not going to take his lies on air.”

Polls have shown that as many as 68 percent of Republicans still believe that Trump won the election. However, some Trump supporters have been open to hearing Acosta’s perspective when he has talked to them one-on-one, he said. “If the truth can be told in a penetrating way, I do believe we can get through that Trump fog.”

During the second panel, Sabato questioned whether the canceled press conference showed that Trump may now be listening to the people around him.

“Psychologically, he is incapable of changing course,” said Mary Trump, psychologist, author, and niece of the former president.

“There is a definite worsening of his state of mind, and that just suggests that nobody down the road Representative Liz Cheney was among the panelists is going to be able to rein him in.” at a UVA January 6 event.

January 12 – 18, 2022 c-ville.com

The former president’s niece pointed out that most elected Republicans still support Trump, and would do all they could to make him president if he runs in 2024. In addition to Trump himself, there are currently at least two dozen people who participated in the insurrection, as well as at least 50 QAnon supporters, running for federal office, added Miles Taylor of the Renew America Movement, which tracks radical candidates.

New York Times columnist and Charlottesville resident Jamelle Bouie emphasized the structural issues of our electoral system, most notably the electoral college. Since 1992, Republicans have only won the popular vote once during a presidential election.

“The ability to win power without winning the majority of votes has created a reliance on that method of winning among Republicans,” said Bouie. At the same time, “The Republican party has come to believe that [it’s] demographically doomed, and that change in the demographics of the United States is going to make it impossible to win.”

That mixture is “encouraging this toxic interaction with the personality of Donald Trump,” said Bouie.

Senator Tim Kaine and Congresswoman Liz Cheney expressed hope for the ongoing House investigation into the insurrection.

“I’m confident that we will, despite the efforts [of] people to delay and obstruct, get to the truth,” said Cheney, vice-chair of the January 6 committee. “We’ll have the facts and the truth to lay out for the American people.”

Live Arts’ Pipeline spotlights real consequences

arryl Nelson Smith had never been in a play when he uprooted his Richmond life for an office gig supporting the Charlottesville theater community. He figured he’d take the job with Live Arts for a few years. Twenty years later, Smith is a pillar in local theater—on and off stage.

WILL KERNER

C-VILLE: Describe your newly revised role at Live Arts.

Darryl Nelson Smith: I was box office manager, but I felt like I was more like the face of Live Arts. Anne Hunter approached me about changing my title to represent more of what I do for the organization. I am now the audience experience manager, and along with box office duties, that includes community outreach, audience experiences, funPipeline, a new play from Dominique Morriseau, directed by David Vaughn Straughn (right), and starring Aiyana Marcus (left) opens on January 14 at Live Arts. The production will feature a reception for educators on January 22, and an audience talkback on January 27.

nition and echo, along with the characters’ struggles.

Nya first brings the poem to the stage when she writes the words on a chalkboard for her students; later, Omari raises the same aching question as the pool players, faltering on the word “we” as he searches for belonging within two types of academic institutions, both of which threaten to fail him.

“It’s a deep process, I think because a lot of us have some sort of proximity or closeness to the characters that we play,” says Marcus.

“There’s a certain amount of labor that comes with that. For us, it’s a story, but it’s also a piece of our own lives. It’s not just, ‘Oh, we did this piece of theater;’ it could have, hopefully, very real consequences in our lives and the lives of people who look like us, and can really make a difference.”

“For us, it’s a story, but it’s also a piece of our own lives.”

n the early 1960s, African American Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks walked past seven boys at a pool hall, an experience she commemorated in the poem “We Real Cool”: We real cool. We / Left school. We / Lurk late. We / Strike straight. We / Sing sin. We / Thin gin. We / Jazz June. We / Die soon.

When read aloud, the “we” at the end of each line fades to near-nothingness, a deliberate affectation that Brooks said in a 1970 interview was meant to signify the boys’ questioning of their own existence.

That doubt comes to life in Dominique Morisseau’s Pipeline, named for the American “school-to-prison pipeline” that funnels children, especially children of color, from public schools into the criminal justice system. Under the direction of David Vaughn Straughn, the play is being staged at Live Arts from January 14-30.

In her first major role at Live Arts, Aiyana Marcus leads the cast as Nya, a public high school teacher whose efforts to remove her Black son Omari (Asyra Cunningham) from the ominous pipeline seem in vain when he gets into a fight at his predominantly white private school.

The conflict starts him down a path that Nya worries will lead him to the doom Brooks predicted in her haunting poem.

“The cast is really great,” says Marcus. “Everyone shows up really ready to work, and really connected to the roles even from our very first reading. I felt that connection with the actor that plays Omari, my son in the show, and everyone seems to have a connection with the language and with their own characters.”

Rounding out the cast are Tanaka Maria, Sarad Davenport, and Jamie Virostko. Brooks’ “We Real Cool” plays such a big role that Marcus considers it “almost a character” in its own right. The poem is woven throughout the production as a haunting backdrop, somewhere between premo-

draising, and development. And, since we’re a 100 percent volunteer organization, I have been onstage in a couple of Live Arts shows.

If you’ve only recently been in productions, what brought you to Live Arts in the first place?

A co-worker in Richmond was coming to do shows at Live Arts many years ago. I came to see one and fell in love.

Then she took a marketing position here. One day, I got a phone call from her—”this might be weird, but we are looking for a box office manager.”

Four or five months later, I packed up my suitcase and a moving truck.

What is it about theater that you love?

The cool thing about theater is it is always growing and changing. At Live Arts, we do six or seven pro-

How were you convinced to finally perform yourself?

I went to school for communications and advertising, and in Richmond I worked at museums mostly. But with Live Arts being a volunteer organization, someone was eventually like, “hey, by the way, we need a person and think you should audition.” I’d be like, “you’re crazy—I am not an actor.” But then after going out for a couple of beers, I’d be in.

What’s the pandemic been like for Live Arts?

We reinvented the wheel and did online shows—but you don’t get that immediate feedback you get with live audiences. We did dance parties to reach out and let people know we are here. It was kind of like, “how can we engage the community?”

After our doors had been closed for a year and a half, I honestly started to wonder if I could do it again. But I had a chance to go to New York and work with a former director of mine and run his box office. I got to do what I love, and I thought, “I can do this again.” I love the interaction with the public— that excitement of people coming to a show. It’s so magical.

usan Evans knows nothing is permanent in the theater. Nor should it be—theaters must evolve to stay relevant, says Live Arts’ artistic director.

“A successful theater is a theater that never stops examining itself,” Evans says. “I think that many theaters get stuck. And it’s easy to get stuck because of money.”

Evans got her own taste of impermanence in August 2020. That’s when she was laid off as artistic director at the Town Hall Theatre Company in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The change put things in perspective for Evans, who’s spent nearly 20 years working in arts direction. “This is my fourth artistic director position—I’m just hoping to get it right,” she says.

Evans’ ouster on the West Coast was outside her control. The Town Hall Theatre told local media outlets the move was driven by budget considerations, and the theater’s leadership praised Evans, noting her “deep artistic vision and theater acumen.”

But budget cuts have, indeed, meant curtains for many community theaters nationwide. According to data from the National Endowment for the Arts, theater, dance, and other performing arts companies lost nearly 60 percent of their employees from March to April 2020.

Theaters owning, renting, or leasing space suffered most, with many having to shut their doors.

Theaters in and around Charlottesville struggled like many nationwide. Staunton’s nearly 70-year-old Oak Grove Theater went to a virtual model for 2020 but returned for 2021. Barboursville’s Four County

Players has likewise returned to a live season for 2021-22, but Gorilla Theater Productions, which leased a multi-use space on Allied Lane off McIntire Road, announced it was seeking a tenant to take over the facility in July 2020. Bent Theatre, which used Gorilla’s space for improv comedy shows, has moved to virtual productions for the time being.

Anecdotal evidence suggests volunteer organizations like Live Arts and more flexible theaters not tied to leased or rented spaces have had more success than others. The Charlottesville Players Guild, which performs at the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, announced that its 2022-23 Black Indigeneity season will include classes and a podcast that follows the production journey. And the Charlottesville Playwrights Collective is producing live plays in the Belmont Arts Collaborative theater on Carlton Road.

For its part, Live Arts stayed afloat with streaming performances and general community outreach. “We reinvented the wheel,” Audience Experience Manager Darryl Smith says.

As Evans sought a new position and Live Arts went through its own pandemic pains, the local theater advertised for a new artistic director.

Evans had visited Charlottesville many times—her mother was at the Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge senior living center for 15 years. But in all her visits, she had never heard of Live Arts.

“It was completely new to me, but you can tell a lot about a company just by looking at the kinds of shows being done,” Evans says.

What she saw impressed her. She credits Live Arts for doing, “for lack of a better word, edgier” shows from its inception up to now, and exploring topics that challenge audiences.

In today’s charged political environment—and especially in a place like Charlottesville—Evans says taking on the big issues is more important than ever. At Live Arts, she says she won’t have to rework the theater’s vision. But she does plan to put her stamp on the lineup.

The current season launched on October 15 with Every Brilliant Thing. Directed by Clinton Johnson, the single-actor play digs deep into mental health. The season also addresses LGBTQ+ issues, the environment, and politics; this week’s opening of Pipeline (see story on page 16),

Live Arts’ new artistic director Susan Evans brings vision and a desire to see the theater evolve to reflect the Charlottesville community.

by contemporary African American playwright Dominique Morisseau, has been highly anticipated.

“We don’t want it to just be lip service—we have a commitment to talk about LGBTQ and under-resourced communities, and that needs to be expressed in the kind of work we do,” Evans says. “Are you putting on a play with an all-white cast or an all-male cast or an all-cisgendered cast? What stories are being told?”

Evans will direct the season’s final play, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, a political farce by Italian Dario Fo that explores police brutality and government overreach. Directing pieces that speak to what’s going on in the community and nation is something Live Arts’ new artistic director plans to continue doing throughout her tenure.

And while Live Arts’ current season has gone well so far, theaters across the country are still struggling with pandemic-related issues. Live Arts will require everyone other than active performers to wear masks in the space, but in some U.S. theaters, unmasked performers have drawn backlash. Live Arts will also ask volunteers and audience members 18 and over to show proof of full vaccination, practice social distancing where possible, and stay home if they are feeling sick or have a recent COVID exposure.

As Live Arts navigates this next act, Evans looks forward to continuing to evolve along with the theater.

“I have grown up with one artistic director model that’s fairly top-down, and I need to expand my own mind and view of diversified leadership,” she says. “More voices need to be heard.”

What’s next for you and Live Arts?

I’m going to be here as long as they want me. But you never know. My life goal is to end up in a cabin in Canada somewhere.

Our first show this season was a one-man show, but we had three different actors available each night just in case. If someone gets sick, we have another actor who could go on. We also have a big ol’ musical coming next summer. And I always say I won’t be onstage, but you never know. I say no, then I’m up there singing and dancing.

What’s been one of your favorite moments at Live Arts?

The last show before the pandemic was Men on Boats, which is an allfemale cast playing men characters.

We ran for two weeks before the pandemic and kind of knew this was a big thing. For the last show, the audience just really wanted to be there and came to support us, and I think the actors felt the love.

It was their last show, and they gave it their all.

held inside the jagged edges of a square. “Everything is splintered and in full agitation. The triangles push into each other and pull apart—confined in their squares.”

The paintings are calm, yet full of struggle. “The triangles are ill matched, not able to create their own square and unable to leave the square format.”

Patrick’s work also contains hidden messages. “These paintings are partially covering paintings made in the past,” she says. On the surface, “Sooner” looks bright and cheerful.

Vibrant greens and blues color Patrick’s signature squares, rectangles, and triangles. But hidden underneath is a messy, emotional sprawl of words. “A poem, written over and over, densely covered the canvas with layers of words,” says Patrick.

The poem was about leaving behind a difficult situation, and bits and pieces of it still shine through and can be seen in the finished work, memories of the past mingling with the present.—Maeve Hayden

“By studying art and making art, we place ourselves into a centuries-long continuum of observers and visual speakers,” says art educator and painter Susan Patrick. “We begin to understand previous and current cultures through drawn, painted, and sculpted images.”

Patrick, who is on staff at Village School, has decades of experience teaching art at public schools, and is a member of McGuffey Art Center, where her work is on display in the Smith Gallery.

Her new exhibition, “Connections: possibilities/impossibilities,” showcases a series of acrylic paintings on canvas.

The series was a way for Patrick to explore a simple but intriguing shape—the triangle.

“I had seen an image of a painting broken into triangles, and liked the composition,” says Patrick. Triangles can be found scattered throughout her paintings. One of them, “December #2,” is a study of shapes where triangles are

Flashback to fun Licorice Pizza is a light, bouncy love letter to the ’70s

By Justin Humphreys arts@c-ville.com

MGM

W

Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim roam from one bizarre adventure to the next in the light and funny Licorice Pizza.

where—Nixon on TV, Todd Rundgren on the radio, hideous wallpaper in the living room—but this appropriately funky window dressing never overwhelms the cast.

American cinema of the 1970s is another trademark of Anderson’s vision. He has so superficially assimilated Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, and Hal Ashby’s works that he can conjure their films’ look and feel without being openly derivative (although he does lift a scene from Taxi Driver, and also draws on Clint Eastwood’s Breezy).

Altman’s influence on Anderson can be seen in his excellent ensemble casts, and Anderson’s

latest is no exception. Hoffman and Haim are endearing. The supporting cast shines, partic­ ularly Harriet Sansom Harris as a chain-smok­ ing agent. Sean Penn’s scenes as aging action hero Jack Holden, loosely parodying William Holden, is Penn’s best, funniest work in years.

Bradley Cooper as hairstylist Jon Peters is a hilarious caricature of that era’s machismo, complete with a caveman’s hair, beard, and attitude. And the cast members who deserve special praise are the many child actors, who appear effortlessly natural and unforced.

What does it all add up to? It’s an un­ disciplined, arrhythmic film, and essen­

tially just Anderson having a blast taking a sentimental journey. It’s not deep and it’s 20 minutes too long (like most current movies). But it succeeds as a light, laconic,

Licorice Pizza R, 133 minutes Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Violet Crown Cinema funny film—the key word here being light—that hearkens back to 1970s film­ making, but doesn’t equal the richness of that decade’s cinema.

This warm recreation of the Valley circa 1973 nicely evokes the era’s look, feel, and looseness—of kids being kids, and adults usually behaving more juvenile than the children.

ith the current glut of super­ heroes, franchises, and remakes at movie theaters, a film like Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza stands out by default simply for being lowkey, unpredictable, and featuring normallooking people. It’s also low on narrative cohesion and depth, and still sticks out. In short, Licorice Pizza is enjoyable with a strong cast, and well worth seeing, but what’s it really about? The overriding an­ swer: P.T.A. loves L.A. Anderson’s films overflow with adoration for his native Los Angeles—usually, the San Fernando Valley—and its people, from Boogie Nights’ porn stars to Inherent Vice’s ston­ er beach bums. That deep affection shines through in every frame of Licorice Pizza, this time through an exuberant, youthful lens.

This warm re-creation of the Valley circa 1973 nicely evokes the era’s look, feel, and looseness—of kids being kids, and adults usually behaving more juvenile than the children. (Licorice Pizza would pair well with Michael Ritchie’s The Bad News Bears.) An­ derson captures the uniquely surreal nature of the Valley’s deep ties to “The Industry,” where seeing aging movie stars or the Bat­ mobile is humdrum stuff.

The film’s nominal plot follows two kids seemingly as incongruous as the film’s title: 15-year-old inveterate hustler Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman), and Alana Kane (Alana Haim), an aimless 25-year-old spitfire. Gary pursues Alana even more fervently than his endless money-making schemes, and the story finds the pair roaming from one bi­ zarrely comic, sometimes poignant, episode to the next, punctuated by their mercurial reactions. There are period trappings every­

By Rob Brezsny

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Joyce Carol Oates has been very successful and has won several major awards. But she describes her job as arduous and time-consuming. “I work very slowly,” she testifies. “It’s like building a ladder, where you’re building your own ladder rung by rung, and you’re climbing the ladder. It’s not the best way to build a ladder, but I don’t know any other way.” I wouldn’t always recommend her approach for you, Aquarius, but I will in 2022. As long as you’re willing to accept gradual, incremental progress, you’ll get a lot of fine work done.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve selected a quote for you to use as one of your guiding principles in 2022. I urge you to undertake a specific action in the next 24 hours that will prove you mean to take it seriously. Here’s the wisdom articulated by Piscean rabbi and philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin: “People must break with the illusion that their lives have already been written and their paths already determined.” It’s reinvention time, dear Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19): The coming months will be an excellent time for you to explore the art of Soulful Bragging. Do you deserve any of the titles below? If so, feel free to use them liberally throughout 2022. 1. Practical Idealist with Flexible Strategies. 2. Genius of Interesting Intimacy. 3. Jaunty Healer with Boisterous Knowledge of the Soul’s Ways. 4. Free-Wheeling Joker Who Makes People Laugh for Righteous and Healing Reasons. 5. Skillful Struggler. 6. Empathy Master with a Specialty in Creative Compassion. 7. Playful Reservoir of Smart Eros.

8. Purveyor of Feisty Wisdom and Cute Boldness. 9. Crafty Joy-Summoner.

Taurus

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer wrote a meditative book about moss.

It was her response to questions she had been wondering about: Why has this inconspicuous plant persevered for 350 million years? While so many other species have gone extinct, why has moss had staying power through all the Earth’s climate changes and upheavals? And what lessons does its success have for us? Here are Kimmerer’s conclusions: Moss teaches us the value “of being small, of giving more than you take, of working with natural law, sticking together.”

In accordance with astrological omens in 2022, Capricorn, I believe moss should be your role model. (Kimmerer’s book is Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses.) the astrological omens, you will have more power than ever before to escape any harmful addictions and compulsions you have— and begin reclaiming your full vitality.

Gemini (May 21–June 20): In May 1974, the Grateful Dead introduced a new wrinkle to their live musical performances. Playing at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, they amplified their music through a “Wall of Sound”: 604 speakers piled high, together channeling 26,000 watts of energy. Had any band ever treated their fans to a louder volume and crisper tones? I’d like to make this breakthrough event one of your top metaphors for 2022. According to my analysis, it will be a great year for you to boost your signal. I invite you to distribute your message with maximum confidence and clarity. Show the world who you are with all the buoyant flair you can rouse.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Philosopher Emil Cioran said he despised wise philosophers. Why? Because they practice prudent equanimity, which he regarded as empty and sterile. In Cioran’s view, these deep thinkers avoid strong feelings so they can live in cool safety, free from life’s nerve-wracking paradoxes. I agree with him that such a state is undesirable. However, Cioran contrasted it with the lives of the normal people he admired, who are “full of irreconcilable contradictions” and who “suffer from limitless anxiety.” My question for Cioran: Are there no other options between those two extremes? And my answer: Of course there are! And you can be proof of that in 2022, Cancerian. I expect you’ll be full of deep feelings, eager for new experiences, and infused with a lust for life—with less anxiety and fewer irreconcilable contradictions than ever before.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1838, 29-year-old naturalist Charles Darwin was early in his career.

He had not developed his theory of evolution, and was not yet a superstar of science. He began ruminating about the possibility of proposing marriage to his cousin Emma Wedgwood. If married, he wrote: “constant companion and a friend in old age; the charms of music and female chit-chat—good things for one’s health.” If not married: “no children; no one to care for one in old age; less money for books, loss of time, and a duty to work for money.” I bring this to your attention, Leo, because I suspect that in 2022, you may be tempted and inspired to deeply interweave your fate with the fates of interesting characters. A spouse or partner or collaborator? Could be. Maybe a beloved animal or spirit guide? Have fun making your list of pros and cons!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What were your favorite toys when you were a child? Now would be a good time to retrieve fond memories of them, and even acquire modern versions so you can revive the joy they gave you. In my astrological analysis, you’ll be wise to invite your inner child to play a bigger role in your life as you engage in a wide range of playtime activities. So yes, consider the possibility of buying yourself crayons, Legos, dolls and puppets, video games, squirt guns, roller skates, yo-yos, jump ropes, and board games. And don’t neglect the pleasures of blanket forts, cardboard boxes, mud pies, and plain old sticks.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his novel The Story of a Marriage, Andrew Sean Greer asks, “Does

love always form, like a pearl, around the hardened bits of life?” My answer would be, “No, not always, but when it does, it’s often extra sweet and enduring.” One of my wishes and predictions for you in 2022, Libra, is that love will form around your hardened bits. For best results, be open to the possibility that difficulty can blossom into grace.

Look for opportunities that are seeded by strenuous work.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It is worth living long enough to outlast whatever sense of grievance you may acquire,” wrote author Marilynne Robinson, and I recommend her thought as one of your uplifting meditations in 2022. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the coming months will be a favorable time to dismantle and dissolve as many old grievances as you can. This could and should be the year you liberate yourself from psychic grunge—for the sake of your own mental, physical, and spiritual health as much as for the sake of others.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some critics view author Diana Wynne Jones as a genius in her chosen field: fantasy novels for children and young adults. She had a generous spirit, asserting, “I have this very strong feeling that everybody is probably a genius at something; it’s just a question of finding this.” If you are still unsure what your unique genius consists of, Sagittarius, I believe 2022 will show you in detailed glory. And if you do already know, the coming months will be a time when you dramatically deepen your ability to access and express your genius.

(April 20-May 20): Most people who use tobacco products are at risk of having shorter life spans than they might have otherwise had. Smoking is detrimental to health. Those who smoke in their 20s and 30s may cut 10 years off their longevity. But here’s some good news: If you kick your tobacco habit before age 40, you will regain most of those 10 years.

It’s hard. Power just coming back on. Now I have to go through my fridge and eliminate the spoiled food after my expensive grocery run last Sunday.

It’s not a disaster. It’s a failure of city services and power company preparedness.

NO power, fallen trees, ice and snow blocked roads BUT still better than the dangerous gray gravestone, Dewberry (many names more excuses) concrete wonderland ruin in center of beautiful C’ville—Fight back!!

Better than VDOT did!

Created new recipes for the grill from what’s defrosting in the freezer.

Wrapped frozen corn in foil with a pat of butter and stuck on the grill.

Chicken that was supposed to be roasted ended up grilled.

Butternut squash on the grill. Grilled shrimp.

Now I need to get more gas for the grill before the next big storm knocks out my electricity for a week again.

Didn’t have heat or water for three days and it’s snowing again.

Have trees and tree branches down all over my yard from the first storm. Others still without power and this new storm could take more customers off line. Surviving.

redrum, REDRUM!

I’m not. ;)

By NOT thinking of it as a disaster! By remembering: it’s winter. This is what we expect, and prepare for! That said: Hope everyone is warm, and that power is restored to all very soon.

Disaster? You mean winter? Actually experiencing the season rather than 70s in January? We’ve been enjoying “winter” just fine. @ATKINBACK/INSTAGRAM

Still sitting in the dark...but I’ve got blankets! Luckily I moved my perishables into the snow (frozen stuff) and coolers for the things that shouldn’t freeze. Been catching up on reading and melting snow to flush the toilets. Trying to keep positive and tell myself it could be worse...because what else can I do???

So much crying. Gets me out of my sympathetic nervous system.

Find Your Vision and Your Dream in Your

Country Home

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

THEY PULLED UP IN THEIR AIRSTREAM from Georgia determined to stay until they found the perfect place for a new home. They thought about Richmond, then decided they wanted something less urban with a few acres. After weeks of searching, they found a five-acre lot in the Keswick area that matched their vision and moved in right before Christmas.

The Airstream couple is not alone. The drive to rural areas is getting shorter and shorter with fewer barriers for people who always dreamt of owning a country home.

It’s easy to point the finger at COVID for the surge in interest in country living.

Or give all the credit to permission to work from home. Other factors coming into play are people with cash seeking a larger return or wanting to diversify out of the stock market. Or they just want to have a little more flexibility than they do in urban areas.

It’s all those things and more.

Whatever the reasons, people are still moving to the country faster than the market can keep up.

COVID a Major Driver At the onset of the pandemic, people exited cities in large numbers. Some left because the economic shutdowns took away most of the reasons they were living in town. Others wanted to put a little room between them and their neighbor to minimize exposure. While the mass migration has slowed significantly, country living is still drawing significant numbers of movers.

“When office workers originally were sent home to work in March of 2020, nobody anticipated that we’d still have significant numbers working from home nearly two years later,” says Pam Dent, REALTOR® with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc. “During this past year, it’s become apparent that some people don’t have to go back to the office five days a week, or even at all. And that group is reevaluating where they live. If they always dreamed of owning a country home, there is no better time to make the move.”

Folks who bought second homes as a weekend escape during 2020 and early

2021 are beginning to look at those assets in a different light.

Stephanie Woolfolk, REALTOR® with RE/MAX Realty Specialists, says, “Whether homeowners bought to have an escape from urban areas or as an investment, as the pandemic wore on they started to see the appeal of spending more and more time at their second home. That is certainly made easier as employers continue to offer options for employees to work from home.”

Real Estate Investment They had $400,000 sitting in the bank earning next to nothing. Leery of putting more money in the stock market, they started shopping around for real estate.

Luckily, their Washington DC location put Louisa County within striking distance. And there, they found the perfect home, paid cash for it, and now spend more time there than in their primary home.

These aren’t the only people Sharon Merrick, REALTOR® with Howard Hanna Roy Wheeler Realty Co., sees eyeing rural

properties for their next real estate investment. “Often we see potential buyers from the city looking for a second home and the opportunity for someone else to pay their mortgage through Airbnb. And it doesn’t always work out.”

She was working with a client from California who owned a string of shortterm rental properties in the San Francisco area and several western states. He wanted to branch out into the Central Virginia market and had his sights set on a property in rural Albemarle County.

Fortunately, Merrick was aware of his goals for the property and was able to advise him of the restrictions around operating short-term rentals in Albemarle County before he made the purchase.

“It’s critical that both the buyer and their REALTOR® have a clear picture of how this property is going to be used and what the goals are, particularly for a buyer from out of the area who might not be aware of local restrictions. Even local buyers aren’t always informed of regulations that impact the potential use of a property they want to buy.”

Dent recently assisted someone from out of state wanting to buy a tree farm.

Although that’s not a common buyer profile, it was Dent’s understanding of the critical nature of water, soil quality, and other landscape features in that kind of operation that led to a successful purchase.

Whatever the goals might be, having the guidance of a knowledgeable REALTOR® is crucial for a rewarding real estate investment.

Affordable and Transformative Buyers shopping for country homes often are looking either for a change in their lifestyle or for affordability. It’s no secret that the Charlottesville real estate market drives many homebuyers further out to find a home they can afford.

Rural Albemarle and all the adjacent counties are seeing interest from this Charlottesville-centric market effect.

Woolfolk says, “Sometimes it’s the combination of affordability and lifestyle changes that puts these rural counties on a buyer’s radar. If you compare Louisa County to the Charlottesville area, Louisa is much more affordable. And you get more bang for your buck.

“Comparing what $300,000 will buy in Charlottesville versus Louisa is like night and day. And on top of the reduced purchase price, you benefit from the ongoing cost savings in property taxes. All that comes with more space, a garage, and a yard for the kids to play.

It’s easy to see why buyers are flocking to country homes.”

Merrick is seeing the same dynamic with her clients moving from urban to rural areas for that lifestyle change. “I have buyers from DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia who want to transform their lives. They want to trade in all the urban busyness, the commute, the chaos and adopt a calmer lifestyle closer to nature. COVID forced a lot of people outside and they realized they enjoy those outdoor activities and want to make them part of their everyday lives.

“Many people are just looking for a little more space. Room enough to have a garden and not feel like neighbors are sitting on top of them. And views. Our rural counties in Central Virginia come with some of the best views. For someone moving from the city, it can seem like a dream when their dollars go further, their lifestyle is transformed, and they get these great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains or rolling hills and streams.”

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

But Can I Download?

Sometimes, what is not there becomes the barrier to buying that otherwise dream rural property.

Merrick says, “Buyers can sometimes be clueless about what’s not available.

They didn’t even consider that internet service might not be available or as speedy as they are accustomed to. A client from Philadelphia who wanted to relocate to this rural property had to step back and re-evaluate once he realized he couldn’t get a fiber-optic connection and a download speed of 1,000 megabits per second.

“That’s not an uncommon scenario. I was assisting a physician from Maryland relocating to Augusta County. He needed a powerful home connection to be able to

read radiology and other imaging files.

Because of that, he was extremely limited as to where he could buy a home in a rural setting and still have the internet speeds needed.”

But hang on, that’s all about to change.

New grants of $2 billion will establish universal broadband throughout many underserved rural counties in Central Virginia. The Thomas Jefferson Planning District is partnering with Firefly Fiber Broadband to target Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, and other counties. This infusion of funds puts Virginia on track to be one of the first states to have nearly universal broadband.

Dent expects this to make a real difference. “People who want to move here now, have to be very selective about how rural they really can be. This Firefly Fiber Broadband project is going to open up all these rural properties that people just can’t consider now, especially if they are working from home or operating a business. There is a lot of interest from people out of state and once the broadband is in place, I think we’ll see much of that pent-up demand turn into purchases.”

While the expansion won’t happen overnight, the timeline is short. The entire construction project involves laying 4,000 miles of fiber and will take approximately three years to complete.

Some areas will come online sooner than others. You can keep up to date on Firefly’s Regional Internet Service Expansion Project’s progress at www. fireflyva.com/rise.

Greene County, for instance, is expected to be fully covered by 2024. So, 2022 might be the ideal window in which to buy a few acres in the country. You’ll be a bit ahead of the curve, buying while views of the Blue Ridge or the South River are still available. Because it won’t be too long before the folks from Philadelphia, Northern Virginia, and other urban centers realize they no longer have to choose

between internet access and all that rural Central Virginia has to offer.

Aside from internet access, Woolfolk cautions new country dwellers not to romanticize rural life. If you’re accustomed to having Grit Coffee within walking distance for your morning joe and Marie Bette nearby for that irresistible pastry, the move can be an adjustment.

“Living in the country can take some getting used to, not having everything within an easy walk or short drive. And larger lots mean more time and money spent on maintenance to care for the property.

“If you are currently able to work from home due to COVID, what is the plan if you are called back to the office, even if it’s only two or three days a week?

Are you prepared to make the commute from your new rural home? Or is there a plan B?”

Market Balancing?

Like the rest of the real estate market in Central Virginia, country homes and lots for sale are in short supply.

Dent says, “There are not nearly enough rural properties on the market to meet the demand. I know some sellers wait until after the holidays to list their homes, so we should be seeing a bit of a bounce now and over the next couple of months. Will it be enough to satisfy demand? Probably not, but any listings help buyers at this point.”

Home prices continue to rise at double-digit rates while days on market continue to fall in almost every rural county in Central Virginia. Merrick advises “Buyers need to be prepared to act quickly when a property becomes available that fits their wish list or even comes close.

“Everyone has a vision and a dream.

And in most cases, they are looking for the perfect setting for the perfect home.”

In this market, something even close to your dream might be good enough.
