THIS WEEK

10.11.23

Hello, Charlottesville! Thank you for reading C-VILLE Weekly.

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp, clear air, the leaves that turn bronze and scarlet and crunch underfoot, and the togetherness of the holidays. Plus, I am an absolute sucker for pumpkin spice lattes, no matter where they’re sold. It’s also a fun time of year when it comes to seasonal activities that you can get up to in and around Charlottesville.

To mark the season, we’ve compiled a list of 16 things to do in town and out in the counties, from festivals and ghost tours to sports and wine tasting (p. 29). There are so many places to hike, natural phenomena to see (like migrating hawks and fall constellations), ways to be active, art to take in, and, of course, places for trick-or-treating.

What intrigues me the most, though, is the idea of visiting the Blue Ridge Mountain Maze in the middle of the night, armed with only a flashlight. Sounds sufficiently spooky!

As sweater weather settles in, you may be tempted to settle in at home. But the great outdoors still has so much to offer late in the year. If you decide to be adventurous, maybe I’ll see you in the nighttime corn maze.—Richard DiCicco

Climate Leadership Awards The Community Climate Collaborative announced the 2023 Climate Leadership Award recipients at the second annual Party for the Planet at Ix Art Park on October 6. The awards recognize local people, groups, and businesses working to promote climate justice in Charlottesville and Albemarle. Award recipients include Teri Strother, who received the Impact Maker award for her decades of work on climate action, and John Trossi, who was given the Outstanding Educator award for his work with fifth grade students at Walker Upper Elementary School.

As part of Fire Prevention Week, the Charlottesville Fire Department and Albemarle County Fire Rescue are sharing cooking safety tips and hosting several community events. According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking is the leading cause of house fires in the U.S. Cooking safety recommendations from the CFD include setting a timer, turning pot handles toward the back of the stove, having a lid close by, and keeping kids and pets at least three feet away from hot surfaces.

UVA’s Jason Papin and his research team received more than $1.2 million from NIH.

Good votes McCarthy bad

FILE PHOTO

Kevin McCarthy

In a historic House of Representatives showdown, 5th District Rep. Bob Good and seven of his Republican colleagues voted with Democrats to remove Kevin McCarthy as the speaker of the House on October 3.

McCarthy’s ouster is the result of, among other things, the far-right’s frustration with the bipartisan stopgap funding bill the former speaker advanced to avoid a government shutdown earlier this month. The bill passed 335-91, with 209 Democrats and 126 Republicans supporting the measure.

“The American people need a Speaker who will fight to keep the promises

Republicans made to get the majority, not someone who cuts fiscally irresponsible deals that get more Democrat votes than Republican votes,” said Good in a social media post about the vote to remove McCarthy.

Until a new speaker is elected, the House cannot conduct any business, meaning countless legislative matters are halted, including aid for Ukraine and a more long-term government funding plan.

At press time, Good has not endorsed a candidate for the speakership

he National Institutes of Health has awarded a team led by University of Virginia biomedical engineering professor and researcher Jason Papin over $1.2 million for their work studying antibiotic resistant bacteria. The funds will be used to continue the team’s study of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria through advanced computer models.

“Antibiotic resistance is an enormous clinical problem that is only getting bigger,” said Papin in an October 9 press release from UVA Health. “With so many complex processes involved in how bacteria evolve antibiotic resistance, we have to use systems approaches, combining computer modeling and sophisticated experiments, to try to tackle this important challenge.”

The bacteria that Papin and his team are studying make up a significant portion of antibiotic-resistant infections in the United States. While usually harmless, Staphylococcus aureus can lead to dangerous infections, including sepsis, pneumonia, and endocarditis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also potentially fatal, with a multidrug-resistant strain resulting in an estimated 32,600 infections and 2,700 deaths among U.S. hospitalized patients in 2017.

“We’re going … to try to predict what are the most important genes, most important proteins, most important reactions that happen in these bacteria that allow them to develop resistance to antibiotics,” says Papin. “If we can better understand that process, the hope would be that we can develop new treatment strategies that would stop the bacteria from developing resistance, or at least slow it down.”

Teri Strother

Albemarle County Police are seeking information from the community in an ongoing investigation into the armed robbery at Tobacco Planet. The robbery occurred around 11:30pm on October 5 at 1867 Seminole Trl., when a man wearing black clothing entered the store with a gun and demanded cash. Those with information can contact ACPD Detective Michael Arcoraci at 296-5807 or can anonymously report through Crime Stoppers at 977-4000.

“My message to the students is continue to be resilient. … This is a safe place, but it’s also an evil world. Evil takes all forms and looks like all people.”

mates where I am whenever I’m walking home, and I try to drive when possible. I work at a bar so I have to walk home at like 2am all the time, and I always walk home with someone else.”

Others say the abduction has made them more aware of safety issues on Grounds, or highlighted previous concerns.

Though Julia Bianchetto feels safe walking with friends, the fourth-year student says the attempted abduction added to her concerns. “I mean, I think [safety’s] kind of always been an issue, but like recently, it’s definitely been spiked up a little.”

“I’m kind of in the middle about it,” says second-year Sierra Allen. “I live at Lambeth, I do think there should be more lights on the way over there. So, I’m not saying I’m totally scared, but I’m definitely more alert walking at night.”

For students interested in safety training, UVA offers risk-reduction programs and seminars through the UPD.

Charlottesville Police Department Chief Michael Kochis and University of Virginia Police Chief Timothy Longo believe the victim of the attempted abduction and the attacker did not know each other.

October 11 – 17, 2023 c-ville.com

fter a University of Virginia student escaped an attempted abduction on October 4, law enforcement officials, community members, and students are reevaluating safety on and around Grounds.

Charlottesville Police Department received a call about an incident near the intersection of Cabell and Grady avenues at approximately 9:40pm on October 4. At the scene, officers found a female victim who reported being strangled and dragged into a car, before escaping when the abductor crashed his vehicle into multiple cars and a tree in the yard of a fraternity house.

At this time, the identity of the victim is unknown, but she is in stable condition after being treated at UVA Hospital.

Though the victim did not recognize her attacker, investigators quickly identified James Allen of Suffolk as a suspect. Allen fled the scene of the crash on foot and was captured at approximately 12:11pm the next day in Louisa County.

Before police arrived, UVA professor Robert Emery and his family intervened in the attempted abduction when they heard sounds of a struggle outside their house.

While his wife called 911, Emery rushed outside. “A man appeared from behind the truck, told me I was interfering and was clearly in a panic,” he told CBS19. “[He] then immediately jumped into the truck and drove down the street as fast as he could, crashing at the end of the street.”

Thanking community members, the media, and his law enforcement peers on October 5, CPD Chief Michael Kochis, along with UPD Chief Timothy Longo, expressed relief that Allen had been captured.

“Thank god this young lady is safe,” said Longo. “She’s going to work through this with a lot of support and a lot of love.”

For now, Allen is being held in custody

without bond, with a hearing scheduled for December 14.

Though Kochis emphasized that Charlottesville is “a safe community,” Longo reminded students to be vigilant. “My message to the students is continue to be resilient,” he said. “This is a safe place, but it’s also an evil world. Evil takes all forms and looks like all people.”

Students found out about the incident through an off-Grounds community alert from the University Police Department at 1:14am on October 5, just over three hours after CPD responded to the scene. When asked about the timing of​​the alert, Meg Rapp, assistant vice president for Clery Act compliance and youth protection, said the alert was sent as soon as possible, given the complicated nature of the incident.

Under the Clery Act, the university is required to notify students about incidents that occur on Grounds, but can choose whether or not to alert the community to events that occur off Grounds.

“The situation was very fluid, which meant getting accurate information was challenging,” says Rapp. “Upon confirmation of certain information from the responding agency, the university did make the decision to release a community alert to UVA students, faculty, and staff on October 5.”

While most students reportedly feel safe on and around Grounds, the attempted abduction has prompted a few to take extra precautions.

“I don’t personally feel unsafe, but I can understand that there are people who maybe are concerned about it,” says first-year Conwell Morris. “I’m definitely making sure that I’m walking with some of my friends when they’re going places.”

In addition to walking in groups, students are using their phones to stay safe.

“I usually feel pretty safe. The only times where I get a little sketched out is when it’s late at night on weekdays,” says fourth-year Jill Eberhardt. “I definitely tell all my room-

In the dark ‘I Love CVille Show’ host Jerry Miller accused of extortion

By Catie Ratliff reporter@c-ville.com

JERRY MILLER NOW ON YOUTUBE

S

Multiple comments referring to the extortion allegations have been removed from the “I Love CVille Show” site and Jerry Miller’s social media accounts.

“My retainer for something like this is $50k. … I’ve already cut my retainer from [$]50[k] to [$]30[k] because I realize you guys are financially strapped.”

PODCASTER JERRY MILLER

facebook.com/cville.weekly

of people who “are concerned about any persons or entities in the Charlottesville community spreading misinformation, bigotry, or anything else that harms the local discourse.”

So far, the account has only posted about Miller and the “I Love CVille Show,” but indicated it was open to covering “other threats to the local discourse.”

Though Miller’s alleged request for “crisis management” money appears to be dubiously legal, it violates several journalistic standards. Miller describes himself as “an award-winning journalist,” among other things, on his website, jerrymillernow.com.

So what is Miller’s job title? According to his LinkedIn, he is “the founder and CEO of The Miller Organization, LLC, a holding company for six vertically integrated yet financially independent companies, including VMV Brands, LLC, a fullservice advertising, branding and events agency located in Charlottesville, Virginia.”

Ethics of simultaneously working in journalism and crisis management are murky, but one thing is clear: Miller will need his reported public relations expertise to sort out this controversy.

He has returned to posting online and hosting his online show, but, at press time, Miller had not responded to multiple requests for comment or directly addressed the controversy.

October 11 – 17, 2023 c-ville.com

ince being accused of extortion on October 2, “I Love Cville Show” host Jerry Miller has been dodging reporters and commenters alike.

The extortion allegations first came to light when a recording allegedly containing a June 2023 phone call between Miller and Sigora Home CEO Michael Ball was posted on the @cvillecommunityintegrity Instagram account. During the exchange, Miller tells Ball that he will run a segment called Sigora Solar Saga on his podcast, and highlight the company’s wrongdoings, unless he is paid $30,000 for “crisis management.”

At the time the phone call allegedly took place, the since-shutdown Sigora Home— formerly Sigora Solar—was fighting to stay above water. Accusations against the company include poor work, failure to complete contracts, unpaid salaries, and stolen 401(k) funds.

Miller reportedly acknowledged Sigora Home’s financial struggles and dwindling reputation during the phone call.

“My retainer for something like this is $50k,” said Miller. “I’ve already cut my retainer from [$]50[k] to [$]30[k] because I realize you guys are financially strapped.” When Ball asked about alternative options, the podcast host responded that he would air complaints received from “71 individual families” about the company and that “the community deserves to know what’s happening.”

While Sigora Home’s reputation is less than stellar, the veracity of the phone call was confirmed by The Daily Progress through a review of internal documents and communications from the company on October 5.

At press time, Ball declined a request for comment by C-VILLE. In an anonymous response, @cville communityintegrity outlined how it was informed of the phone recording. “A source close to Sigora shared the recorded phone call with us on 9/28, alon[g] with some screenshots of an email and text message corroborating it.” According to the respondent, they have not been in direct contact with either Miller or Ball. @cvillecommunityintegrity has shared several instances of Miller allegedly posting and spreading “misinformation and intolerance” since its first post on July 11. The account is reportedly run by a small group

A housing needs assessment was conducted for Charlottesville in 2018. That study cited the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, and stated that there were 19,886 housing units in Charlottesville in 2015, with 51.5 percent of them single-family detached. The ACS estimated 44,620 in Albemarle that year, and the total figure for the metropolitan area was 99,246.

Parsing that data for comparable results can be tricky but crucial to measuring the region’s housing supply and tracking whether more units will translate to a stabilization or lowering of rents and sales prices.

On October 11, Charlottesville City Council will be able to speak about these topics with a top demographer at the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. Hamilton Lombard, Weldon Cooper’s estimates program manager for the Demographics Research Group, said Cushman & Wakefield’s numbers “sound correct.”

Many more units are slated to be built in Charlottesville, even without a new zoning code.

Recently, council sat in on a public hearing for a rezoning to replace 62 units on Stadium Row with over 500 units. In the coming months, the Planning Commission will review site plans for around 170 new units on Stribling Avenue, dozens of units at 2117 Ivy Rd., and Piedmont Housing Alliance’s redevelopment of the MACAA site on Park Street.

very quarter, the real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer puts out a list of facts about each market it serves. According to its final fact for the Charlottesville market, “More than 2,000 multifamily units have been built since the start of 2020, expanding the total inventory by more than 16 percent.”

Such numbers are snapshots into what’s been happening in the built environment at a time when both Albemarle and Charlottesville are seeking to lower barriers to construction of new units. Both also want to augment policies to guarantee some of the units are kept below market.

A housing policy adopted by the Albemarle Board of Supervisors in July 2021 said the county needed to build 11,750 units over the next 20 years.

Every quarter, Albemarle publishes a list of building permits issued, as well as another document that’s required before anyone can move into a new unit.

Albemarle issued 1,143 total certificates of occupancy in 2020, 960 in 2021, 779 in 2022, and 388 through June 30 of this year.

Notable developments in that time include single-family homes at North Pointe, apartment buildings at Brookhill, and the first few homes at Southwood.

In Charlottesville, the Cville Plans Together initiative seeks to change the rules for building to significantly increase the number of homes for rent and sale that can be built within city limits.

However, the city does not make information about what’s actually built readily available, nor is the land use reform process driven by a specific target number of units.

Requests for further information and clarification were sent to the city’s Freedom of Information Act officer, who did not respond by press time.

Many more units are slated to be built in Charlottesville, even without a new zoning code.

16 of our favorite things

to do this autumn

By Richard DiCicco

facebook.com/cville.weekly

When the leaves begin to turn in Charlottesville, that’s your signal to jot down dates in your calendar. There’s a lot to do in and around town once autumn hits, from wandering through apple orchards and corn mazes to taking in a movie at the Virginia Film Festival and tailgating at UVA football games. To get you started, we’ve compiled a list of activities you’ll want to get to before the last leaves hit the ground.

FALLING

for the

SEASON

SPY ON THE HAWKS

REGISTER FOR A RUN

Lace up your sneakers and join the Fall Classic half-marathon and 10K on October 15, which starts and finishes on the Downtown Mall in front of the Ting Pavilion and takes runners through scenic locales in Charlottesville. Looking for more races? Check out the annual Ramblin Rabbit Run, which this year benefits Bennett’s Village; the Crozet Trails Crew’s 5K starting at Crozet Park; and the Brooks Family YMCA’s Halloween Hustle 10K and two-mile trick-or-treat walk.

TAKE A HIKE

Breathe in the crisp autumn air and peep the changing leaves on a brisk walk around Charlottesville, a hearty hike in the mountains, or from behind the wheel of your car. You can trek through Ragged Mountain Natural Area or climb Humpback Rocks, take a ride along Shenandoah National Park’s Skyline Drive, or stroll around the gorgeous University of Virginia Grounds.

GET LOST

ALAINA SMITH

JACK LOONEY

Visitors are welcome at the annual hawk watch at Rockfish Gap. While volunteers man the watch from August to November to monitor the raptors’ fall migration, you can drop by to see hundreds and even thousands of the 14 different species take to the skies.

Make sure to get there in the next week or so for peak migration, and bring binoculars, sunscreen, snacks and water, and something to lounge on.

BOND WITH THE BARD

Thirsty for theater? The American Shakespeare Center in Staunton is running Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, and Coriolanus through November to conclude the center’s 35th anniversary. Be sure to come back in December for a production of Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, A Christmas Carol.

Make your way through one of the Blue Ridge Mountain Maze’s corn mazes (now located at Blue Toad Hard Cider, near Wintergreen). Equipped with just a crayon and a blank survival guide, you’ll scout an escape path through five acres while taking in a panoramic view of the mountains. Tickets include access to plenty of family-friendly attractions, like the country store, farm animals, movies in the meadow, and the Farmy Fun Zone. Up for a more chilling experience? Come back at night to navigate the maze by moonlight.

FEST IT UP

SUPPLIED PHOTO

Virginia’s fall is packed with big community events, from music festivals to harvest fairs.

Some fests are a bit of a trek, but there’s plenty you can do within an hour’s drive. Buy up bags of ripe fruit at Edible Landscaping’s Persimmon Festival, take your pup for a day out at Stable Craft Brewing’s Barktoberfest, or enjoy the heirloom chrysanthemums at Harmony Harvest Farm’s Mum Showcase. There’s plenty more to do if you’re willing to get out of town, so check out the full list at virginia.org/ events/festivals-and-fairs/fall-festivals

GO TO THE MOVIES

The Virginia Film Festival runs from October 25 to 29, and the five-day event is your opportunity to get up close with some great films.

Watch groundbreaking work by the industry’s leading directors, up-and-coming filmmakers, and actors from around the world. This year, see Bradley Cooper’s highly-anticipated festival opener Maestro, meet director Ava DuVernay, actor and director Riley Keough, and acclaimed poet Nikki Giovanni, and catch a performance from musician Jon Batiste, following the closing documentary American Symphony.

LOOK UP

Cold, dark nights make the perfect setting for an evening of stargazing: The changing season means the fall skies have new constellations, planets, and galaxies on display. Learn about celestial bodies with a short lecture and telescope-assisted gazing at Ivy Creek Natural Area’s Third Friday under the Stars, or get a closer look with the 26-inch McCormick Refractor at the UVA Leander McCormick Observatory, open on the first and third Friday nights of the month.

BE A GOOD SPORT

facebook.com/cville.weekly

MATT RILEY / UVA ATHLETICS

Fall sports are in full swing, and there’s no better time to take a seat in the stands at UVA’s fields and courts. And no matter what your team is ranked, nothing says autumn like college football (the Cavs are on a winning streak after beating William & Mary on October 7!). Plus: Tailgating.

But there’s a lot more to watch than football this season: Consider volleyball, wrestling, soccer, and the November 12 Rivanna Romp, which pits the Hoos against rowers from Duke, Louisville, North Carolina, Navy, and Minnesota.

October 11 – 17, 2023 c-ville.com

DON YOUR HATS

Pony up some cash for tickets to the bougie Montpelier Hunt Races on November 4. Catch the horses and their jockeys as they leap and sprint through seven consecutive races over a full day of activities, including Jack Russell terrier and stick horse races, a raffle drawing, and tailgating.

And don’t forget to wear your fanciest, haughtiest headwear to enter the day’s hat contest.

SEASON

DOG BLESS

Held every Thanksgiving at 10am, Grace Episcopal Church’s annual Blessing of the Hounds has been an area favorite since 1929. Pet-lovers are welcome to bring their doggone friends to the Keswick church for a special blessing, and enjoy cider and hot chocolate before and after the event.

DRINK UP

There’s more to marching bands than half-time shows, as you’ll see for yourself when you watch the Cavalier Marching Band prepare for performances at their open rehearsals at Carr’s Hill Field. In addition to playing during football games, the band also puts on themed shows, from celebrating the CMB’s 20th anniversary to military salutes. Check the UVA Department of Music’s online calendar for the full list of free events.

GET SPOOKED

Take a walk on the other side with a Charlottesville ghost tour. Nearly every night throughout the fall, US Ghost Adventures offers one-hour, one-mile walking tours of supposedly haunted locales and grim destinations throughout the city, starting at The Paramount Theater. Looking for something a little less creepy? Friends of Charlottesville Downtown and the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society offer a new “door to door” local history tour focusing on local businesses that shaped the community.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

It’s not really fall without a trip to an apple orchard. At Carter Mountain, apple picking started in mid-August, with Fuji, Granny Smith, and Winesap varieties, available for visitors to grab themselves from the branches or get pre-picked at the barn. Carter Mountain is popular, especially this time of year, so you’ll have to buy tickets in advance and pre-pay for your apples by container size. If you want to avoid the crowds, head over to family-owned Henley’s Orchard, where, in addition to apples, cider, donuts, pumpkins, and fresh meat and eggs, you can enjoy live music and tractor and pony rides every October weekend during HenleyFest.

PICK APPLES

There’s never a bad season to visit our many wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries, but something about the chill of fall makes taking in gorgeous views with delicious bevvies a must.

Check out the area’s more than 40 winemakers, such as Keswick or Pippin Hill, grab a cider while you enjoy live music at Potter’s, visit the new Högwaller Brewing spot, or go for a tasting at Vitae Spirits. Don’t be shy—try something new!

EZE AMOS

A tradition since the 1980s, this classic Halloween event is open to families and kids who are eager to attend a huge holiday bash. Lawn residents and student organizations post up in the 54 Lawn rooms and hand out treats, all donated by around 70 student groups. (And don’t even get us started on the creative array of student costumes, an annual must-see, for sure!) Co-sponsored by Housing & Residence Life, this event is fun for students and community members alike.

s the weather turns cool, curling up with a short-story collection can plunge you deep into another world in mere minutes, with a few turns of the page between other commitments and concerns. This fall, two new short-story collections by Virginia authors offer ample opportunities for reflection and escapism.

Richmond-based author SJ Sindu’s new book, The Goth House Experiment, grapples with life in our contemporary reality through tales of wild imagination and speculative fiction. Largely unconnected in terms of overly specific themes or throughlines, these are stories that examine anti-Asian and anti-LGBTQ+ violence, TikTok and the dangers of going viral, and even the perils of a writer’s ego. The book also celebrates queer joy and embraces a wry sense of humor about the state of our collective reality. In many ways, these are stories about how we cope in the face of countless catastrophes, personal and societal, and where we find community and delight.

“Wild Ale,” one of the tightest stories in the collection, exemplifies Sindu’s skillful use of dialogue and tension over the course of an unexpected narrative arc. An on-the-nose exploration of a couple’s pandemic quarantine stresses, the story revolves around a core disagreement about homebrewing in a small apartment during lockdown. Despite this, the couple’s relationship serves as a buttress against the outside world that is largely seen from balconies and cautious walks in the park. Social media and MAGA anti-maskers show up as well, and the claustrophobic tension that infuses each page is so well-written, it’s lightly triggering in the ways it captures the earliest months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sindu wraps it all up with a cheeky conclusion that provides a welcome reminder of some of the ways we came together to support our neighbors in the worst of times.

It’s a story that suggests we can heal together, if only we choose to not forget.

Currently a professor at VCU, Sindu is a Tamil diaspora author who was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award with her latest novel, Blue-Skinned Gods. Her Marriage of a Thousand Lies won the Publishing Triangle Edmund White Award for debut novels by writers within the LGBTQ+ community.

For readers of Sindu’s other work, “Miracle Boy” is perhaps the story that aligns most strongly with her novels and their explorations of belief, family, and communities of faith. The concluding story in The Goth House Experiment, it is the most somber as well. Set in Sri Lanka, this magical realist tale is about a boy who grows wings and can perform miracles, whose community begins to worship him for his abilities, and who ultimately suffers as a result. We never learn the boy’s real name since everyone calls him Peter, “the most popular Christian name in a town full

Two short story collections, The Goth House Experiment by SJ Sindu, and Swing Bridge from Bronwyn Hughes, immerse readers in other worlds.

of Hindus who had never even seen a Bible,” Sindu writes. It is a visceral story, full of bodies that don’t work and those that work differently than one might expect. It is a story about the lengths we’ll go to in order to be healed and what it means to be saved.

Sindu will host a free launch party for The Goth House Experiment, in conversation with Geoff Bouvier, at Fountain Bookstore in Richmond on October 17.

For readers more in the mood for realism, Bronwyn Hughes’ debut collection of short stories, Swing Bridge: Stories from Tidewater Virginia, conjures the Tidewater region through multigenerational characters and places that represent decades of accreted memories. The collection balances an at-times peripatetic nature, drawing lines between the Tidewater and the cities where people move, with its more site-specific histories like a Beatles-infused story that visits Poplar Grove, John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s one-time country home in Mathews County.

Throughout, Hughes’ clear-eyed stories are accompanied by drawings by Kat Sharp, her “illustrator-spouse,” as she puts it. Sharp’s drawings are a highlight, offering detailed glimpses into the inner workings of this world that feels at once familiar and foreign to those who have not spent time in the Tidewater area. The featured art includes diagrams of the fig wasp life cycle and the creation of the Chesapeake Impact Crater, which eventually became the Chesapeake Bay. Hughes herself is not a Tidewater native but has made her life there for the past two decades. After concluding a career in the foreign service, she completed her creative writing MFA during the pandemic and this is her debut book. Just as Sharp excels at depicting details in her drawings, Hughes is excellent at teasing out layers of reality, in the relationships between her characters and the places they inhabit, but also between past and present versions of themselves. The stories in Swing Bridge are imbued with the ache of coming to know oneself and the ups and downs that come with trying to share that self with others.

“Fig-girl” is one story where this is especially true, featuring two characters at points of transition in their lives, attempting to navigate queerness as well as both chosen and unchosen changes while being held to expectations of others. Resonating with Sindu’s collection, Hughes’ stories meditate on the opportunities presented by community, by choosing to care for each other.

Bronwyn Hughes will give a free talk about Swing Bridge at The Center on October 28.

Do androids dream?

The Creator is a derivative but outstanding science fiction film

By Justin Humphreys arts@c-ville.com

W

riter/director Gareth Edwards’ The Creator is more than a scifi thriller about the hot-button topic of artificial intelligence—it’s a gripping story that delves deeply into many points, including loss, grief, PTSD, misinformation, and the human cost of war, particularly on children. And, ironically, this tale of sentient robots is the most touchingly human movie in recent memory.

An opening montage depicts how, in the near future, robots increasingly replace humans in countless jobs. But after A.I. nukes Los Angeles in the mid-21st century, America bans the technology, while the Republic of New Asia accepts Simulants as sentient beings.

America establishes an orbiting weapon platform, NOMAD, to seek out and bomb robotic colonies overseas, and U.S. special forces hunt for Nimrata, the creator of deadly advanced A.I. While working undercover to hunt down Nimrata, special forces agent Joshua (John David Washington) gets entangled in a raid gone wrong, which ends in the death of his pregnant wife Maya (Gemma Chan).

Years later, special forces enlists Joshua to help find the Creator and a superweapon he’s developing, enticing him with the promise of a reunion with Maya, who allegedly

survived. They raid a hidden lab, where Joshua discovers this weapon of mass destruction is an outwardly benign android child (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), marked Alpha-Omega, that he nicknames Alphie.

Disobeying orders to destroy Alphie, who knows Maya’s whereabouts, Joshua escapes with the android, and his commanding officer, Colonel Howell (Allison Janney), in hot pursuit. Gradually, he discovers that the Creator has wildly different intentions than he—and the Western world—understood or imagined.

The Creator is a somber, mature film, which makes it a rarity among current science fiction. It darkly observes humans’ innately warlike and xenophobic nature without becoming nihilistic or dreary. Surprisingly, it takes A.I.’s threat to humanity and flips the situation. It explores what would happen if this dehumanizing technology was benign: less like the murderous Skynet in the Terminator series and more inclined toward Isaac Asimov’s humane Three Laws of Robotics.

The Creator has been widely criticized for being derivative, which it undeniably is. It draws on, among other movies, Steven Spielberg’s A.I., Apocalypse Now, Akira, Terminator 2, and Blade Runner. The art of futurist Syd Mead is also an obvious influence.

But Edwards’ worldbuilding remains im-

pressive throughout, especially considering the film cost $80 million—a fraction of standard tentpole movies’ budgets. The visual effects are extraordinary, with Edwards fleshing out this future with memorable details and moments, like a briefly glimpsed android funeral pyre.

Edwards also imparts key information about this futuristic culture unobtrusively through dialogue, rather than halting the plot for clunky expository speeches—a common problem in science fiction cinema. It

The Creator PG-13, 135 minutes Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Regal Stonefield, Violet Crown Cinema requires the audience’s attention—a sign of Edwards’ respect for his viewers.

If The Creator has any significant flaw, it’s Washington in the lead. Far less talented than his father, Denzel, he’s decent in this critical role, but a more nuanced actor could have delivered a superior performance. Otherwise, the cast is fine.

With its humanity, wit, and emotional potency, The Creator is a consistently intriguing, thoughtful, well-made film—the kind that even snobs that dismiss science fiction can appreciate.

CROSSKEYS WINERY 2022 Pinot Noir Pinot Noir has made its return on our red tasting bar by being one of our latest releases! With its release last week, we are very excited to have Pinot Noir 2022 back on our shelves and seeing all our guests enjoying it.

By Rob Brezsny

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): More and more older people are transitioning to different genders. An article in The Guardian describes how Bethan Henshaw, a warehouse worker, transitioned to female at age 57. Ramses Underhill-Smith became a man in his 40s. With this as your starting point, I invite you to re-evaluate your personal meanings of gender. (Please note that I’m not implying you should change your designation.) Astrological omens simply suggest that you will benefit from expanding your ideas. Here’s Scorpio singer Sophie B. Hawkins, a mother who says she is omnisexual: “My sexuality stems from an emotional connection to someone’s soul. You don’t have to make a gender choice and stick with it.”

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Mark Twain said that in urgent or trying circumstances, uttering profanities “furnishes a relief denied even to prayer.” I will add that these magic words can be downright catalytic and healing—especially for you right now. Here are situations in which swearing could be therapeutic in the coming weeks: 1. When people take themselves too seriously. 2. When you need to escape feelings of powerlessness. 3.

When know-it-alls are trying to limit the range of what can be said. 4. When people seem frozen or stunned and don’t know what to do next.

In all these cases, well-placed expletives could provide necessary jolts to shift the stuck energy. (P.S.: Have fun using other surprises, ploys, and twists to shake things up for a good cause.)

Capricorn

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran philosopher and writer Michel Foucault aspired to open up his readers’ minds with novel ideas. He said his task was to make windows where there had been walls. I’d like to borrow his approach for your use in the coming weeks. It might be the most fun to demolish the walls that are subdividing your world and keeping you preventing free and easy interchange. But I suspect that’s unrealistic. What’s more likely is partial success: creating windows in the walls.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Thousands of heirloom food species are privately owned and hoarded. They once belonged to Indigenous people but haven’t been grown for decades. Descendants of their original owners are trying to get them back and grow them again—a process they call rematriation—but they meet resistance from companies and governmental agencies that commandeered the seeds. There has been some progress, though.

The Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin has recovered some of its ancestral corn, beans, and squash. Now would be a good time for you Aquarians to launch your own version of rematriation: reclaiming what was originally yours and that truly belongs to you.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20): I like Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield’s understanding of what “lies at the core of ritual.” She says it’s “the entrance into a mystery that can be touched but not possessed.” My wish for you right now, Pisces, is that you will experience mysteries that can be touched but not possessed. To do so will give you direct access to prime riddles at the heart of your destiny. You will commune with sublime conundrums that rouse deep feelings and rich insights, none of which are fully explicable by your logical mind. Please consider performing a homemade sacred ritual or two.

Aries

(March 21-April 19): The Indigenous Semai people of Malaysia have an unusual taboo.

They try hard not to cause unhappiness in others. This makes them reluctant to impose their wishes on anyone. Even parents hesitate to force their children to do things. I recommend you experiment with this practice. Now is an excellent time to refine your effect on people to be as benevolent and welcoming as

FALL 2023

BAR NONE ge Stylish bevera station inspo

LIGHT ME UP Locally made, fireplace for fall

Taurus

(April 20-May 20): Taurus author Shakespeare reshaped the English language. He coined hundreds of words and revised the meanings of hundreds more. Idioms like “green-eyed monster” and “milk of human kindness” originated with him. The Bard also created some innovations that didn’t last. “Recover the wind” appeared in Hamlet, but never came into wide use. Other failures include, “Would you take eggs for money?” and “from smoke to smother.” Still, Shakespeare’s final tally of enduring neologisms is impressive. With this vignette, I’m inviting you to celebrate how many more successes than flops you have had. The time is right for realistic self-praise.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20): I hope beauty will be your priority in the coming weeks. I hope you will seek out beauty, celebrate it, and commune with it adoringly. To assist your efforts, I offer five gems: 1. Whatever you love is beautiful; love comes first, beauty follows. The greater your capacity for love, the more beauty you find in the world.—Jane Smiley. 2. The world is incomprehensibly beautiful—an endless prospect of magic and wonder.—Ansel Adams.

3. A beautiful thing is never perfect.—Egyptian proverb. 4. You can make the world beautiful just by refusing to lie about it.—Iain S. Thomas. 5. Beauty isn’t a special inserted sort of thing. It is just life, pure life, life nascent, running clear and strong.—H. G. Wells.

Cancer

(June 21-July 22): I read a review that described a certain movie as having “a soft, tenuous incandescence—like fog lit by the

glow of fireflies.” That sounds like who you are these days, Cancerian. You’re mysterious yet luminous; hard to decipher but overflowing with life energy; fuzzy around the edges but radiating warmth and well-being. I encourage you to remain faithful to this assignment for now. It’s not a state you will inhabit forever, but it’s what’s needed and true for the foreseeable future.

Leo

(July. 23-Aug. 22): The published work of Leo author Thomas De Quincey fills 14 volumes.

He inspired superstar writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Nikolai Gogol, and Jorge Luis Borges. Yet he also ingested opium for 54 years and was often addicted. Cultural historian Mike Jay says De Quincey was not self-medicating or escaping reality, but rather keen on “exploring the hidden recesses of his mind.” He used it to dwell in states of awareness that were otherwise unattainable.

I don’t encourage you to take drugs or follow De Quincey’s path, Leo. But I believe the time is right to explore the hidden recesses of your mind via other means. Like what? Working with your nightly dreams? Meditating your ass off? Having soul-altering sex with someone who wants to explore hidden recesses, too? Any others?

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo journalist H. L. Mencken said, “The average person doesn’t want to be free. He wants to be safe.” There’s some truth in that, but I believe it will be irrelevant for you in the coming months. According to my analysis, you can be both safer and freer than you’ve been in a long time. I hope you take full advantage! Brainstorm about unexpected feats you might be able to accomplish during this state of grace.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In Roman mythology, Venus was goddess of love, desire, and beauty. Yet modern science tells us the planet Venus is blanketed with sulfuric acid clouds, has a surface temperature of 867 degrees Fahrenheit, and is covered with 85,000 volcanoes. Why are the two Venuses out of sync? Here’s a clue, courtesy of occultist Dion Fortune. She said the goddess Venus is often a disturbing influence in the world, diverting us from life’s serious business. I can personally attest to the ways that my affinity for love, desire, and beauty have distracted me from becoming a hard-driving billionaire tech entrepreneur. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. How about you, Capricorn? I predict that the goddess version of Venus will be extra active in your life during the coming months.
