THIS WEEK

Over the last 10 months, we’ve tried to keep you informed about how the pandemic and its related economic crash have affected some of Charlottesville’s most vital industries. We’ve written about restaurants and retail stores, nonprofits and homeless shelters, primary schools and the university, and more. So this week, it’s time to turn our eyes to our own industry—local newspapers.

This is not an easy subject for us to write about. Nationwide, the pandemic has been bad news for news, and at C-VILLE, the spring’s economic shutdown gave way to painful layoffs in the summer. I remain confident that this little rag has many more issues in store, but it’s been a long year.

That adversity makes it all the more important to discuss the present and future of local news, though, and Charlottesville is a fascinating industry case study. We’ve got three wellestablished weekly or daily professional news outlets, each with their own funding model and, thus, each with their own strengths and limitations. We’ve also got engaged citizens and independent reporters writing news or news-adjacent things on social media, in newsletters, and on their own websites. I realized, in editing this week’s cover story, that it would be almost impossible to write a piece that encompasses every local journalist in town—a fact that’s indicative of the ever-increasing decentralization of the industry.

Though everyone in the story has different ideas about how to make this industry work for the community and for themselves, they are all committed to fighting the good fight.

Journalism is changing, but Charlottesville has dynamic and compassionate journalists writing in every possible format and medium, trying to make their institutions—large or small—both effective and sustainable. So we write on. —Ben Hitchcock

KESWICK VINEYARDS 2019 Rose Estate Reserve 100% estate grown Touriga, this rose has a pale, slightly salmon hue. The nose is dry and bright, showcasing initial aromas of citrus, stone fruit and wet stone, but turning to more red fruit with warmth and aeration. The palate has a beautiful entry with the acidity keeping the fruit forward flavors in check. The finish is medium and bright. Additional flavors of baking spice, red apply skin and tart red fruits start coming out with time in the glass. We recommend serving the wine quite chilled and allowing it to warm up naturally in your glass to experience the complexity of the wine. Food pairings include pork dishes, roasted chicken and plank baked salmon.

Joe Biden hit the ground running during his first few days on the job, including passing an executive order that has energy tycoons sweating over projects in Virginia. Last week, the new president canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, a controversial oil pipeline that would have carried fossil fuel from Canada into the U.S. That’s left industry insiders wondering if Biden will directly intervene in other pending pipelines—including the Mountain Valley Pipeline in western Virginia.

The MVP, a natural gas pipeline that has been under construction since 2018, has been tied up in legal limbo for years.

It’s now facing a sixth lawsuit over important Federal Energy Regulatory Commission permits for stream crossings, reports the Roanoke Times.

espite ample warnings from health experts, millions of people traveled across the country to visit family and friends for the holidays.

Now, COVID cases have reached an alltime high—and health care workers are paying the price.

“The ICU has been completely full or close to full for most of the surge period, which really kicked off in December and is still going,” says a nurse aide at UVA hospital, who asked to remain anonymous to ensure the safety of his job. Last month, “we had to open a second acute care unit, which is for COVID patients who [need] just below ICU level care.”

For months, UVA hospital has not had enough staff to keep up with spikes in patients across all units, forcing current employees to work more shifts and longer hours. The staffing crisis has led to a new policy: All nurses and patient care technicians must take on two 12-hour shifts with-

in every six week scheduling period, on top of the three 12-hour shifts they typically work every week—an 11 percent increase in hours on the job. Employees will receive increased hazard pay for these new shifts.

“A lot of us are pretty burned out already, especially the nurses that take care of COVID patients,” says pediatric nurse Danielle Christmas. “They are asking us to do more and more and more.”

“There are people doing this who have kids—how do you plan anything for your family around this?” says a part-time nurse aide, who also asked not to be named.

“When I go home I don’t have the energy to cook. I don’t want to clean. This is at the expense of the rest of our lives.”

New names added to Memorial to Enslaved Laborers

Myra Anderson (left) and other Hern family members attended a ceremony to add five of their ancestors’ names to UVA’s Memorial to Enslaved Laborers.

lived and worked at the university. In addition, she discovered that Thirmston, Davy, and Lily were siblings.

For over a year, she contacted various university faculty and staff, advocating for the Herns to be honored on the memorial wall.

But because there was no established process for adding names to the monument, it took a while to connect with the right person.

“I don’t think it was an issue of reluctance or resistance, as much as it was process,” she says. “At times I did want to give up, but I thought about my ancestors and it’s not in my DNA to do that.”

In December, Anderson finally received an apology letter from the university, announcing that her ancestors would be added to the memorial the following month.

Anderson’s persistence ultimately led the university to establish an official MEL Names Committee, composed of historians, genealogists, alumni, architects, and descendants.

From 1812 to 1865, an estimated 4,000 people were enslaved at UVA, and each is represented by a deep gash carved into the memorial wall. But researchers have only been able to find the names of 588 enslaved people, along with 311 people known by their occupation or kinship relation, to put above the memory marks.

@cville_weekly

t UVA’s Memorial to Enslaved Laborers, some people are remembered by name: Billy, Jane, Lewis.

Others are remembered by occupation or relationship: Woodcutter, grandmother. And others still are represented by nothing more than gashes in the hard rock, denoting a life’s worth of details lost to history.

Standing in front of the wall, Myra Anderson’s eyes fell upon the name of her ancestor, Thirmston Hern, who had been enslaved at Monticello and sold to a university professor following the death of Thomas Jefferson.

Thirmston was not alone, Anderson learned. Five other members of his family were also sold and enslaved at the university—yet their names were not initially included on the University of Virginia’s memorial, which opened last year.

Earlier this month, however, Anderson’s five ancestors were finally etched into the granite wall: Davy Hern, Fanny Gillette Hern, Bonnycastle Hern, Lily Hern, and Ben Snowden.

The additions were unveiled to Anderson and her family during a small ceremony last week.

“It was a really heavy and emotional moment,” says Anderson, who grew up in Charlottesville. “It was more than just getting those names on the wall. It was really bringing dignity to my ancestors—slavery is something that robbed them of that.”

Since her ancestors were first enslaved at Monticello, Anderson was able to dig up estate sale records, along with books and documents, proving that the Herns had also

“The MEL Names Committee is dedicated to working with genealogists and seeing the 4,000 memory markers on the memorial filled with the names of enslaved laborers,” says Carolyn Dillard, head of the committee. “[But] this is not just about a memorial wall—this is talking about people’s hearts and families that have been divided. We want to make sure we are engaging with descendants respectfully.”

Though the university will continue to look for people to add to the memorial, descendant families are strongly encouraged to bring forward names to be validated by genealogists, says Dillard.

Every year, new names will be added to the wall, and unveiled at a ceremony for descendant families.

Anderson hopes that the new committee will make the approval process much easier for other descendant families, even those with very few historical records.

“My worry is for the descendants who will come along whose ancestors didn’t come from Monticello or some place that had all of these documentations. Because during slavery, records are hard to find,” she says.

“We want descendants to come forward to share any documentation that they have— even oral history,” says Dillard.

Anderson also calls on UVA to continue to address and rectify its racist past, such as by creating legacy scholarships for descendants of people enslaved at the university.

“This university has flourished off of the labor, blood, sweat, and tears of my ancestors and other enslaved laborers,” she says. “When you’re thinking of righting wrongs of the past, that seems like a no-brainer.”

January 27 – February 2, 2021 c-ville.com

Since the policy went into effect on January 10, those who cannot do the extra shifts have been allowed to find another person to work it for them. But that can be difficult when everyone is desperate for a break.

“When I go home I don’t have the energy to cook. I don’t want to clean. This is at the expense of the rest of our lives,” adds the part-time nurse aide. “We’re here because we like to help people, and want to give as much as we can—but if that’s not sustainable, who does that help?”

In addition to mandating extra shifts, the hospital continues to shuffle nurses around outside of their normal units, meaning nurses are often performing jobs that aren’t as well-suited to their skill set.

“We’re seeing an increase in patient to nurse ratios in a lot of the non-COVID units, which is of course dangerous for those patients and for staff,” says the nurse aide.

While the new policy is supposed to end in early April, the nurses fear it could last longer if the hospital does not ramp up its hiring.

“I know they are hiring people and bringing on travel nurses, but this is not a problem they can solve overnight,” says the aide.

“They need to focus on keeping the nurses that they have now.”

“There are some newer nurses that have only been here for maybe a year or less who say they are thinking of leaving UVA altogether because of the way they are handling things and treating us,” adds Christmas.

According to Chief Nursing Officer Mary Dixon, reinforcements are on the way. Twenty-eight newly graduated nurses will be brought on staff next month. And every day, recruiters are actively looking for seasoned nurses to fill open positions.

Due to the pandemic, “nurse staffing is a challenge probably in almost every single health care institution. And under that challenge, recruitment also can be a challenge,” says Dixon.

“A lot of this [new policy] is really in preparation for the unknown, and making sure we have good plans in place if we were to take on more COVID patients,” says Medical Center CEO Wendy Horton.

“This is also a temporary measure, [and] we will continue to evaluate it over the coming weeks,” adds Dixon. “It was uncomfortable for our staff to have this request put to them...but many of our team at this moment in time are very grateful we are doing this.”

While the hospital works to hire more nursing staff, the nurse aide believes it should provide hazard pay for all shifts—not just the two extra ones—to help alleviate stress and burnout.

The part-time nurse aide appreciates the various mental health resources, from counseling to yoga, that the hospital has offered to employees during the pandemic, but thinks many haven’t had enough time off of work to take advantage of them.

In light of the extreme burden upon hospital staff, all three nurses call on the public to continue to follow safety guidelines, and help bring COVID cases and hospitalizations down.

“Just because the vaccine is in the news doesn’t mean the pandemic is over,” says the nurse aide. “These next couple of months are going to be treacherous until enough people get vaccinated.”

ong before the pandemic further slashed advertising revenue, newspapers were in distress. In 2018, Google earned $4.7 billion in advertising on news sites, almost as much as the $5.1 billion every other U.S. news outlet combined made from digital ads that year.

Add to that corporate takeovers of oncevenerable media chains that continue to gut newsrooms.

“As long as financial groups like Alden Global Capital treat newspapers as commodities, rather than the bread and butter of democracy,” says UVA media studies professor Christopher Ali, the future of the daily newspaper looks dim.

Charlottesville’s local media is feeling those shifts. Around town, established media outlets are trying to adapt, with varying levels of success. Meanwhile, two veteran reporters launched or expanded their own news sites during COVID-throttled 2020.

“The thing I continue to see is the ongoing evisceration of The Daily Progress,” says Ali, who is on the board of news nonprofit Charlottesville Tomorrow. “I continue to see the decline of the newspaper of record.”

The Progress has been struggling since it was owned by debt-laden Media General.

When Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Media Group bought the chain in 2012, it was seen as a lifeline to the shrinking paper.

But Buffett was not the white knight journalists had hoped, and after declaring newspapers “toast,” he sold 31 dailies to Iowa-based Lee Enterprises early last year.

And, like other corporations that unload newspapers’ real estate, BH Media is selling The Daily Progress building on Rio Road and leasing back a portion of the building to the paper, publisher Peter Yates announced last week.

Lee is known to squeeze out profits through layoffs and consolidations. Even more chilling for those who care about their local newspaper, hedge fund paper-killer Alden Global Capital owns 13 percent of Lee. In April 2018, before Lee took over, the Progress had 26 staffers.

Today it has 15 in the newsroom.

For the staffers at the Progress, adapting to the changes in the national media landscape meant forming a union, the Blue Ridge Guild, which signed a contract with Lee last April.

The union wasn’t enough to keep the paper’s copy desk from going to the Midwest.

Nor did it prevent already low-paid employees from being furloughed without pay for two weeks last year. Nor were vacant positions, like a dedicated UVA reporter, filled.

“The biggest difference? We don’t go to work every day with the existential dread

we’ll be laid off,” says Guild president Katherine Knott.

The contract guarantees two weeks notice and four weeks severance. “That’s as big as we could dream,” she says.

With the reduced staff and fewer reporters assigned to beats like UVA or health, a lot of the COVID-19 coverage has been done by committee. “Maybe that means a meeting doesn’t get covered,” Knott says.

“I feel like local news was not in a sustainable situation before the pandemic,” she says.

“The pandemic has exacerbated that. I’m not an optimist. I hope Lee figures it out. I hope someone figures it out.”

Daily Progress editor Aaron Richardson declined to comment.

It’s no secret that Charlottesville’s other print newspaper, the one you’re reading right now, has also seen advertising revenue fall as local businesses have been hurt by the pandemic. Coronavirus was a “nearly perfect weapon against alternative weeklies,” reported NiemanLab this spring, and in June, C-VILLE laid off six employees.

Since then, the paper has continued publishing, and started a membership program.

“It’s a way for readers to support local journalism,” says publisher Anna Harrison. “We had people reaching out asking how to help.

Lots of other alternative papers are doing this—at least the ones still in business.”

Harrison says the paper has over 100 paid memberships, and more than 9,500 readers receive its weekly newsletter. The memberships don’t add that much to the bottom line, she says, but do help pay for photographers or freelance reporters—and they’re a way to engage readers.

The memberships don’t surprise Ali, who says local news weeklies and dailies “have to experiment with different revenue models because the advertising revenue is not there.” For example, ProPublica seeks funding to pursue certain articles, he says.

Hosting events is another way papers have sought revenue.

Harrison bucks the trend of those who see advertising-supported print as doomed.

“I think the majority of our revenue will continue to be in print once things open up again,” she says. C-VILLE’s circulation fell in the early days of the pandemic but has trended upwards since.

At the same time, some independent writers are changing the way they operate. Dave McNair, a former Hook reporter, started his DTM news site in 2012. Last year he switched to subscriptions through Substack, and was surprised how many people signed up.

“There’s definitely been a shift in things,” he says. For a long time, “‘paywall’ was such a dirty word. Things have changed and peo-

ple are willing to pay subscriptions. That saved the New York Times.”

Other changes McNair has seen since the Hook closed in 2013? “A lot of information comes directly from sources,” he says. “We didn’t have to deal with a mayor with 4,000 Facebook followers.”

He points out the reach activist Molly Conger has with her 104,000 Twitter follow-

Local journalism, already on the ropes, has been reshaped by the pandemic. What’s the next story for an industry in flux?

Veteran local reporter Sean Tubbs says the number of subscribers to his Charlottesville Community Engagement newsletter and podcast has been growing.

ers. “C-VILLE Weekly has 16,000. The Daily Progress has 35,000. She has more followers than local media.”

McNair is not a believer in traditional print revenue models. “I don’t see how you can make any money on print advertising,” he says. “I think the corporate ownership model is doomed. You see how it affects the people who work [at the Progress]. They have to use their energy to fight their employer when you’re not even making that much.”

And he notes that The Daily Progress Twitter feed includes no local news. The paper’s digital content coordinator was laid off in September.

What The DTM brings to local news— besides McNair’s institutional knowledge— is a zestier writing style than more established media. In a recent story in which Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall Brackney took to task the Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlottesville for alleging racial profiling, both the Progress and C-VILLE headlines said the chief “refutes” the church’s claims. The DTM described Brackney’s comments as a “blistering rebuke.”

McNair declines to say how many subscribers he has, and he isn’t giving up his day job.

began, and by summer, he felt a need to get back to work as a journalist.

He’s been delivering a podcast and newsletter on Charlottesville Community Engagement five days a week. “Initial interest was enough to help me take a leap of faith,” he writes in an email.

Tubbs has doubled down on reporting the pandemic locally, as well as covering government meetings. He says he brings “years of experience covering municipal government, and a renewed interest in documenting how this community gets through the next set of challenges.”

Tubbs’ Patreon account has 75 contributors. “That’s just one of many sources of revenue,” he says, listing his Substack platform and sponsorship opportunities. “The

news. No one goes to local news to find out about Afghanistan.”

Among the publications thriving in their own space is Vinegar Hill Magazine. “I wouldn’t call Vinegar Hill Magazine boutique,” says its content manager Sarad Davenport. “I’d call it bootstrapped.” The quarterly publication started as a two-page newsletter to tell the stories that otherwise wouldn’t get told, and has seen an increase in advertising.

“We’re in a different galaxy from other news organizations in how the pandemic has affected us,” says Davenport. “Some people have lost a lot but we never had anything.”

Charlottesville is a “pretty news-hungry area,” Ali says. “Everyone is settling into its niche. The publication struggling with that is The Daily Progress.”

He suggests local news orgs think in terms of “coop-etition,” and cites the groundbreaking, now-defunct agreement between the Progress and Charlottesville Tomorrow in which the paper ran CT’s coverage of government meetings. That, he says, was the “intersection of competition and cooperation.”

McNair similarly says that teamwork could be the key to keeping local news in business. He suggests individuals who have created huge platforms online could team up to form a local digital subscription platform.

“People are hungry for real independent news,” he says.“They’re willing to pay for news now more so than in the past.”

audience is growing slowly, and I’ve demonstrated I’m here to do this work.”

While he declines to say how many subscribers he has, Tubbs offers that he has produced more than 130 newsletters and each is read by around 500 people.

Veteran reporters deciding to go it alone is “something we’re seeing a lot of,” says Ali. “The challenge with these startups is not professionalism and is not gusto. The problem is sustainability.” Burnout and financial sustainability take their toll, he adds.

Tubbs does not plan to remain a singleproprietor news shop. “My hope is to be able to hire people in the future, and train younger people in the kind of civic journalism I believe every American community deserves to help restore our democracy,” he says.

The one news org in town that seems impervious to pandemic pain is Charlottesville Tomorrow. Founded in 2005 by deep-pocketed donors to focus on land use, community design, and transportation, Charlottesville Tomorrow has expanded its purview.

“We did rewrite our mission to become a public service news entity for the whole community rather than focus on land use,” says executive director Giles Morris, who used to be C-VILLE’s editor.

Charlottesville Tomorrow partnered with “In My Humble Opinion” radio show, which covers issues affecting the local Black community, and with Vinegar Hill Magazine, which supports a “more inclusive social narrative,” to form Charlottesville Inclusive Media.

January 27 – February 2, 2021 c-ville.com

According to Giles Morris, executive editor of Charlottesville Tomorrow, 2020 was the news nonprofit’s best year—its revenue jumped from about $500,000 in 2018 to $700,000 now.

“Charlottesville has a big gap in trust between the Black community and legacy news organizations,” says Morris.

The inclusive mindset and partnerships have paid off in grants, including $150,000 from Google GNI Innovation Challenge, $35,000 from Facebook Journalism Project ,and $23,000 from Charlottesville Area Community Foundation.

“We didn’t have the disruptions in our revenue like others did,” says Morris.

The nonprofit model seems to work well in a town like Charlottesville, with a large, highly educated donor class. In 2018, Charlottesville Tomorrow’s revenue was around $500,000. Now it’s $700,000. “This has been our best year,” says Morris.

And Charlottesville Tomorrow is hiring. Its ad for a community engagement reporter with a salary range of $50,000 to $60,000 has certainly caught the attention of local reporters stuck in the $30K salary range.

“Someone has to pay for reporters,” says Morris. “We believe in journalism” and the importance of its role in a democracy, he says.

“I think Charlottesville Tomorrow is doing exactly what a local news organization needs to do to be local,” says Ali. “They’re clearly being rewarded for that. They’re hiring and they’ve doubled down on local

Feeling it A

shon Crawley’s work as an artist begins with feeling. Growing up in a vibrant community of Blackpentecostalism, Crawley has a life perspective shaped by spirituality and rituals channeled through the body. He points to singing loudly, dancing, shouting, and speaking in tongues as influences in the way he expresses himself creatively, and these physical actions have manifested into tools in his visual art process.

“Nothing/ Versions/ The Same/The Difference” Welcome Gallery at New City Arts January 25-28

COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

Ashon Crawley: “What my art practice is an attempt to do is to feel something akin to what I felt in the church world, but in a way that honors and allows to flower and flourish the complexity of queer relations and agnostic belief. So shouting on canvas with pigment powder on my feet to mark the surfaces with the residue of praise seems like a memorial and desire to be in dense relation with the world that made me possible.

But it also is a critical intervention into its homophobia and transphobia and general antagonistic relation to nonheteronormative eroticism.”

In a performance he describes as “shouting on canvas,” Crawley uses music, clapping, dancing, and even tambourine rhythms to splatter and apply paint with his hands and feet.

Crawley’s desire to connect with the things he loves about his church exists in stark contrast with his aversion to its doctrine on queerness, and that conflict also informs his artistry.

Ashon Crawley’s “thy word have i hidden in my heart...(number 11)” goes up at New City Arts on Monday.

The resulting work combines audio/visual montage with paintings that incorporate scripture, hymns, and concordance material into art that is bright and energetic, without losing the solemnity of its greater message.— Tami Keaveny

The new shop promises an array of charcuterie and fine cheeses to pair with your vino.

If the line out the door is any indication, Albemarle Baking Company is holding steady, The longtime local favorite is now selling cake by the slice in different flavors depending on the day, as well as king cakes for the upcoming Mardi Gras season.

What is that smoke we smell floating in from nearby? It must be The Whiskey Jar’s can’t-miss Wednesday special: whiskey-infused, hickory-smoked brisket. If you’re equally starved for live music, the Jar remains a great place to hear Charlottesville musicians in a distanced setting.

One local food and drink establishment has adopted a creative strategy to cope with the pandemic strain. The Wool Factory, a polished collection of dining venues inside a reclaimed textile factory, is offering gift cards in the form

of investment bonds. This new initiative gives patrons an opportunity to purchase gift cards that appreciate over time: up to 50 percent of their original value after a year. The food and bev cards are redeemable at Selvedge Brewing, The Workshop, and the soon-to-open restaurant Broadcloth, and are available in amounts of $50, $100, and $500.

Closed doors Last month we published a roundup of the restaurants we lost last year. Unfortunately, the list continues to grow.

Littlejohn’s Delicatessen, a staple for UVA students and C’ville residents alike, closed temporarily at the start of the pandemic. While it has not issued an official statement of closure, it seems unlikely that it will reopen on the Corner. We also lost several locally owned and operated franchises, which employed over 80 full- and part-time workers: Wendy’s on Route 29, Hardees on Pantops, and Burger King at Barracks Road.

Additionally, Glaze Burger & Donut is closing its doors at the end of the month. These closures once again remind us that our local dining establishments are counting on steady support from the community to stay in business. Check out our list of area restaurants doing takeout and curbside at

Down in the dirt The Dig can’t get around its adaptation issues

By Deirdre Crimmins arts@c-ville.com

T

The Dig PG-13, 112 minutes

The Dig

here is a nugget of wisdom within the silly 1996 Michael Keaton film Duplicity. When explaining why one Keaton clone is not as smart as the others, he quips, “You know how when you make a copy of a copy, it’s not as sharp as... well...the original.” Given that The Dig is an adaptation of a fictionalized novel of a true archaeological dig, the film turns out to be not quite as sharp as it could have been.

Focusing on the events and people surrounding the Sutton Hoo dig in Suffolk, England, in 1938, The Dig is not afraid of getting dirty, literally. Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) lives on a large, English estate that she and her late husband suspect has treasure buried below it. Not under the mansion itself, but in the adjacent land, underneath whale-sized mounds of soil that look like strange geological features. These humps of

January 27 – February 2, 2021 c-ville.com

@cville_culture

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Streaming (Netflix) land stand out in the field, and Edith is fairly certain they contain secrets. She hires excavator Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes), finds him some strong helpers, and tells him to get digging.

In actual history, these mounds contained some of the richest treasures of the Anglo-Saxon period. It is hard to overstate the importance of this discovery, and the film is quite successful in showing us the weight of this find. As more diggers, with escalating degrees of educational pedigrees and importance at the British Museum, come to the site to work with Basil, their excitement is contagious. Director Simon Stone takes his time to convey, visually and musically, the uniqueness of such a find. Not only is this a moment for these dedicated historians personally, it is a moment of significance for the

profession. The music soars as the cameras zoom in on each artifact as it is unearthed.

Where The Dig stumbles is in its attempt to include far too many subplots. When the film starts, it is a battle of wills between Edith and Basil. They both have a vested interest in history and exploration of the soil near her home. Mulligan and Fiennes have strained chemistry, but manage to show their characters’ dedication to the project and mutual affection for its completion. But The Dig never lets us get too close to their relationship before it turns to the politics of the British Museum and the National Trust taking over the project.

Then there’s the pesky subplot about Edith’s failing health, and her son’s hesitance to visit his father’s grave, not to mention the complicated marriage between two of the

diggers, and the romantic drama that ensues with them. Nearly halfway through the film, we lose track of Edith and Basil and are suddenly presented two brand new characters with little to no backstory. And we have yet to discuss the sweet but barely addressed friendship between Edith and the only female excavator Peggy (Lily James). Oh, and then World War II starts.

This disorganization of attention and emotion within the film is a common issue with adaptations of sprawling literature. It’s a struggle to decide which elements to include and which to strategically ignore in any film with a reasonable running time.

Here, the rush to include all of the characters left their individual depth and complications behind, and the scraps are not nearly as rich as they could be.

Eat up! on stands now!

This is a pity because The Dig has plenty of elements in its favor. The score and rich cinematography handle a lot of the romanticism of the findings. There is no doubt that this dig will be one of the most important moments of the characters’ lives, and we feel it along with them.

As the excavators get deeper in the Earth, there’s mention of a tomb of sorts, and they are wary about glee over digging up the dead. Add to that Edith’s deceased husband and the infancy of a new global war, and suddenly the reverberations of tinkering with someone’s final resting place carry more gravity. But this fascinating ponderance is never a major focus in The Dig. It is teased enough to show the kernel of a thought, but just like the characters, it is never fully developed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): DON’Ts: Don’t keep scratching an old wound until it bleeds.

Don’t try to snatch away the teddy bear that belongs to the 800-pound gorilla. Don’t try to relieve your tension by pounding your head against a wall. Don’t try to convince a stone idol to show you some tenderness.

DOs: Do ask supposedly naive questions that may yield liberating revelations. Do keep in mind that sometimes things need to be a bit broken before you’ll be motivated to give them all the care they need and deserve. Do extinguish the fire on a burning bridge, and then repair the bridge.

Aries (March 21-April 19): In the 1950 film Harvey, James Stewart plays a middle-aged man named Elwood whose best friend is a tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. The relationship causes problems with the people in Elwood’s life. At one point a psychiatrist tries to convince him to “struggle with reality.” Elwood replies, “I wrestled with reality for 40 years and I am happy to state that I finally won.” I’m happy to tell you this story, Aries, because it’s a good lead in to my counsel for you: I suspect that one of your long wrestles with reality will yield at least a partial victory in the coming weeks.

And it will be completely real, as opposed to Elwood’s Harvey. Congratulations!

Taurus

Gemini (May 21-June 20): In 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard had the great privilege of landing

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “We all want everything to be okay,” writes author David Levithan. “We don’t even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough.” To that mediocre manifesto, I reply, okay. I accept that it’s true for many people. But I don’t think it will apply to you Aquarians in the coming weeks. According to my assessment of your astrological potentials, you can, if you want, have a series of appointments with the fantastic, the marvelous, and the outstanding. Please keep those appointments! Don’t skip them out of timidity or excess humility. on the moon in a spacecraft, then walking on the lunar surface. How did he celebrate this epic holy adventure? By reciting a stirring passage from Shakespeare or the Talmud? By placing a framed photo of Amelia Earhart or a statue of Icarus in the dirt? By saying a prayer to his god or thoughtfully thanking the people who helped put him there? No. Shepard used this sublime oneof-a-kind moment to hit a golf ball with a golf club. I’ll ask you not to regard him as a role model in the coming weeks. When your sacred or lofty moments arrive, offer proper homage and honor. Be righteously appreciative of your blessings.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): William Shakespeare worked with another playwright in creating three plays: Henry VIII, The Two Noble Kinsmen, and Cardenio. The lucky collaborator was John Fletcher, who was popular and influential in his era. I propose that we name him one of your role models in 2021. Here’s why: You will have an enhanced potential to engage in fertile partnerships with allies who are quite worthy of you. I encourage you to be on the lookout for opportunities to thrive on symbiosis and synergy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Canadian journalist Nick Ashdown is amazed that white people in North America are so inhibited about revealing their real feelings. He writes, “How bizarre that in English, the word ‘emotional’ is used pejoratively, as though passion implies some sort of weakness.” He marvels that the culture seems to “worship nonchalance” and regard intense expressiveness as uncool or unprofessional. I’m going to encourage you to embody a different approach in the coming days. I don’t mean to suggest that you should be an out-of-

control maniac constantly exploding with intensity. But I do hope you will take extra measures to respect and explore and reveal the spirited truth about yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo actor Ingrid Bergman appeared in three movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock. In Notorious, set after the end of World War II, she played the daughter of a Nazi spy. During the filming, Bergman had trouble with a particular scene. She explained her doubts to Hitchcock, saying, “I don’t think I can do that naturally.” Hitchcock seemed receptive to her input, but in the end had an unexpected response: “All right,” he told her. “If you can’t do it naturally, then fake it.” I’m going to suggest that you follow Hitchcock’s advice during the next two weeks, Virgo. Fake it till you make it is an acceptable—probably preferable—approach.

Libra

Kaling. Is that an unromantic sentiment?

Maybe. But more importantly, it’s evidence that she treasures her sleep. And that’s admirable! She is devoted to giving her body the nurturing it needs to be healthy. Let’s make Kaling your patron saint for now. It’s a favorable time to upgrade your strategies for taking very good care of yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): All of us go through phases when our brains work at a higher level than usual. I’m guessing that you’re about to enjoy one of these times. In fact, I won’t be shocked if you string together a series of ingenious thoughts and actions. I hope you use your enhanced intelligence for important matters— like making practical improvements in your life! Please don’t waste it on trivial matters like arguments on Facebook or Twitter.

Capricorn

Scorpio

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today the Capricorn artist Paul Cézanne is regarded as an important and influential painter. Early in his career, though, he was rejected and even ridiculed by critics. One reason was that he loved making still-life paintings, which were considered low art. Of his 584 works, about 200 of them were of inanimate, commonplace objects.

Fruit was his specialty. Typically he might spend 100 separate sessions in perfecting a particular bowl of apples. “Don’t you want to take a vacation from painting fruit?” he was asked. In response, he said that simply shifting the location of his easel in relation to his subject matter was almost more excitement than he could bear. That’s the kind of focused, detailed attitude I hope you’ll cultivate toward your own labors of love during the coming weeks, Capricorn.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it,” declares actor and comedian Mindy

Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: Real Astrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.

(Sept. 23-Oct.22): The 17th-century Libran polymath Thomas Browne had a brilliant, well-educated mind. He authored many books on various subjects, from science to religion, and was second only to Shakespeare in the art of coining new words. He did have a blind spot, however. He referred to sex as the “trivial and vulgar way of union” and “the foolishest act a wise man commits in all his life.” Most of us have pockets of ignorance like that—aspects that qualify as learning disabilities or intellectual black holes. And now and then there come times when we benefit from checking in with these deficiencies and deciding whether to take any fresh steps to wisen them up. Now is such a time for you.

(April 20-May 20): The light of the North Star takes a long time to reach us, even though it’s traveling 186,000 miles per second. The beams it shows us tonight first embarked when Shakespeare was alive on Earth. And yet that glow seems so fresh and pure. Are there any other phenomena in your life that are metaphorically comparable? Perhaps an experience you had months ago that is only now revealing its complete meaning? Or a seed you planted years ago that is finally ripening into its mature expression? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to take inventory of such things, Taurus. It will also be a favorable phase to initiate innovations that will take some time to become fully useful for you.

hat makes so many seniors want to spend their retirement in Central Virginia? If that’s the question, how long do you have for the answer?

We could start with its natural beauty: its mountains, its hiking trails, and its lovely parks. Then there are its well-preserved and expertly explained historical sites that bear revisiting again and again.

There is of course “Mr. Jefferson’s University” and its sporting Cavaliers (“Hoos”) playing basketball, football, lacrosse and you-name-it for now virtual but still enthusiastic fans.

Then we mustn’t forget the area’s abundant cultural offerings including the exciting restaurant scene in and around Charlottesville that a highly ranked school indirectly produces. And last—well not last, but last in this short list—there are our moderate winters and our topnotch medical facilities.

In a state the AARP numbers among the top ten healthiest places to retire, Central Virginia stands out for its abundant beauty, its urban amenities, its affordability, and its populace keenly appreciative of its most seasoned senior citizens. Charlottesville alone, says Cynthia Hash, REALTOR® with Keller Williams Alliance, “is a small town that entertains you like a big city.”

The Senior Center Hash is absolutely right—not that today’s “active seniors” need much passive entertainment. You can find a score of them any time at The Center, formerly The Senior Center, now in a new and larger building on Belvedere Boulevard in

Why Seniors

Love Central Virginia

BY KEN WILSON

Charlottesville with its own Greenberry cafe. As “a community of volunteers, supporters, members, and staff,” The Center is a place “to meet new friends, improve your fitness, expand your mind, broaden your skills, volunteer, and have fun.” It’s Happening at The Center, alright!

The Center’s numerous presentations, crafts, fine arts, health, fitness, financial management and computer classes, along with its Lifelong Learning programs, support groups, and trips both nearby

and abroad make it the region’s hub for social and recreational activity. Travel programs range from slide shows with guest lecturers, to day trips and overseas excursions.

Even in these difficult times, many Center programs still take place on-site.

Many others are available on demand, to be enjoyed whenever one pleases, even when The Center itself is closed.

Center members lead many of the Center’s 100 programs a week, and log

more than 40 thousand hours of volunteer service to the Center and other community organizations—work valued at almost $1 million by the Virginia Employment Commission.

Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) One organization devoted to serving seniors is JABA (Jefferson Area Board for Aging). Working with state and local government, educational institutions, businesses, nonprofits and private citizens, JABA has been helping seniors to meet their needs all along the aging continuum in Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson since 1975.

JABA’s services range from finance and health insurance counseling and estate planning, to home delivered meals, health and advocacy services, caregiver support, and respite care. Its Community Seniors Centers in Charlottesville and in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson counties serve hot lunches and facilitate day trips and other activities for adults with disabilities and/or age 60 and above.

JABA also partners with senior housing providers in Charlottesville (Timberlake Place, Woods Edge, and Park View Apartments), and in Nelson County (Ryan School Apartments) to help seniors maintain independent and active lifestyles while interacting with their peers. JABA nurses provide regular health screenings and services at Park View at South Pantops, Ryan School Apartments and Woods Edge Apartments.

Adult Day Care centers in Charlottesville and Louisa offer individualized care for older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and provide family caregivers critically important support and education.

The “Live Well, Virginia” program is designed to empower adults struggling with disease and chronic pain to improve their health and quality of life. During six workshops (currently being conducted online) participants practice skills and coping strategies to meet their particular needs. Topics covered include pain management, coping strategies, exercise, nutrition, medication use and communicating with doctors. These interactive workshops focus on problem-solving, action planning and decision-making.

garages, low-maintenance yards and, most importantly, “universal design,” barrier-free architectural features that allow residents to stay in their homes for as long as possible.

Universal design features include “zero threshold” (no steps) entries and three-foot wide hallways and doorways.

Bathrooms come with high toilet seats, walk-in showers, non-slip floors, grab bars and a five-foot turning radius. Pot fillers over stoves eliminate the need to carry heavy pots of waters from sink to stove. Doors with lever handles and lights with rocker switches require less hand strength. All these design elements make one-story homes safe and comfortable for active but less than agile occupants, especially those in wheelchairs.

Along with these practical architectural features, such developments advertise “maintenance free living,” in which all necessary work on a home’s exterior and grounds is paid for through VILLAGES AT NAHOR

The presence of not one but two hospitals in Charlottesville alone, plus another in Augusta County, means that both primary and specialty care are readily available in Central Virginia. In addition to their main campuses, “Martha Jefferson and the University of Virginia have expanded to where you have satellite facilities that are like small hospitals that are essential to an aging population,” Hash notes. UVA maintains facilities not only in Charlottesville but in Culpeper, Zion Crossroads, and Orange as well. Sentara Martha Jefferson has four facilities in Charlottesville and one in Zion Crossroads.

Active Adult Communities Adults retired from work but not from productive civic engagement and lifelong learning are in good company around here. “People are typically living longer,” Hash says. “I’m seeing quite a spike of families coming here looking for multigenerational opportunities.”

While many retirees settle in established, mixed-age neighborhoods, others seek out developments built specifically for the 55-and-not-old-yet crowd. Like traditional retirement homes—continuing care communities where residents can first live independently and then move to assisted living and health care facilities when necessary—the new “age in place” communities offer entry-level

Homeowner Association (HOA) dues.

These new model villages, virtual resorts for boomers entering not their second childhoods, but their second, carefree youths, offer amenities like pool and fitness centers, and bocce and tennis courts, that facilitate community and make for luxury living.

Adults 55 and up enjoy, one level, low-maintenance living at The Villages at Nahor in Palmyra. Named for the intersection of Routes 53 and 636, called Nahor since the 1700s, the Villages consists of single-family and attached homes for which lawn, landscaping, and exterior home care are all maintained by the community. Homes are currently priced between $189 thousand and $394 thousand. The Villages’ extensive grounds include sidewalk lined streets, a heated pool and pool house, a fitness center with a quarter mile fitness track, a newly redesigned clubhouse, tennis and bocce courts, a playground and Tot-Lot for grandkids, community gardens, and a picnic pavilion with an outdoor fireplace.

Located in the Stoney Creek area near the four season Wintergreen Resort, the 55+ community of RoseWood Village is nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nellysford. Eighteen villas now sit next to the 27-hole Reese Jones Stoney Creek Golf Course. Villagers enjoy landscaped common areas, walking and hiking paths, and receive lawn care, snow and trash removal, plus building mainte-

34 nance. At its completion, the community

will comprise 25 golf villas, 50 condos, and a 36-unit assisted living facility with an indoor “Main Street” featuring amenities including a library, beauty salon and barber shop.

Four Seasons at Charlottesville is an active adult community in Ruckersville about 30 minutes north of Charlottesville. Conveniently located close to Routes 29 and 33, it boasts landscaped streets and acres of natural space. The 144 single-family homes at Four Seasons were constructed between 2005 and 2010 and have 1,224 to 3,500 square feet of living space. Most have two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage.

The 23,000 square-foot clubhouse has a library, lounge, and learning center, plus game rooms for billiards and cards and rooms for classes, club meetings, and other activities. A ballroom hosts community events. Residents can work out on their own in a state-of-the-art fitness center, join classes in the fitness studio, swim in the indoor pool, and pamper themselves at the spa. Walking and biking trails with views of a small scenic lake beckon when the weather is warm.

Just down the road from the University of Virginia, at the edge of horse and golf country on Ivy Road, is University Village, a 94-unit condo independent living community. Large glassed-in atriums on either side of each of the two village buildings offer a 360-degree panoramic view of the city and the mountains. The Village’s own building and grounds are exquisitely maintained.

THE LODGE AT OLD TRAIL

The two-level Village Club features a bocce court, game room, library and arts and crafts studio, kitchen facilities, and outdoor patio, plus public and private dining rooms where dinner is served five nights a week.

The lower level of the Club includes a 75-foot swimming pool, whirlpool, fitness center, showers, and another patio. University Village also offers underground parking, chauffeur car service, and four well-appointed overnight guest rooms for friends and family.

Most Village residents own their homes, and help run the Village, electing its Board of Directors. While a few of the

Villages condominiums are rentals, most are owner-occupied, and owners have a direct say in community management and governance, electing members of the Villages Board of Directors.

The Lodge at Old Trail in Crozet offers independent living, assisted living and memory care residences at the heart of Old Trail Village, a planned community of over 400 families in Crozet. The Lodge is only a short walk from the shops, restaurants, healthcare providers and more in the Village Center. It is also in walking distance of a community pool, community garden, fitness center, soccer field, golf course, and six miles of walking trails.

There’s no place like home.

How Sweet It Is The U.S. Census bureau projects that one out of five people in the United States will be over 65 by 2030. Meanwhile, the senior population in the Charlottesville area is projected to grow from 27,000 in 2000 to 56,000 by 2025. And it’s no wonder. Magazines like Money, Black Enterprise, Golf Digest, and AARP the Magazine have recently proclaimed our area one of the best in the nation to retire in.

Thoughtfully designed housing for today’s active seniors eager to seize the day and enjoy all we have here makes life even sweeter. Seniors love Central Virginia!
