THIS WEEK

In the animated comedy “Bob’s Burgers,” the titular burger shop stands next to a mortuary run by a cheery mortician named Mort. (See what they did there?) The beleaguered Bob and his family try to make ends meet flipping patties, and Mort regularly pops in for a burger.

One of the central conceits of Mort’s character is that he doesn’t understand why his job might make others uncomfortable. At one point, Mort happily asks Bob’s children, “Who wants to help me glue a toupee on an old man’s cadaver?” Sensing hesitation, he takes a stab at figuring out why everyone else is uneasy. “What’s bothering you, the wig, or the cadaver? Wigs can be scary.”

In this week’s cover story, a local writer reflects on their work as an assistant at an area funeral home. The essay is a far more empathetic and thoughtful reflection than anything Mort has come up with, but it gets at the deep truth that Mort understands, too, which is that the funeral business doesn’t have to be scary—it’s about love. I think the story offers a moving, empathetic examination of some of our common funeral practices, from an unusually knowledgeable perspective.—Ben Hitchcock

Youngkin’s mix-up

Super-duper Two UVA alums earned Super Bowl rings when the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals over the weekend. Bryce Perkins (right), who starred at quarterback for the Cavaliers in 2018 and 2019, was the Rams third-string quarterback this year. Perkins has had a long road to the top—he suffered a serious neck injury while playing for Arizona State, and transferred to a junior college before leading UVA to its best record in the last 14 years. He went undrafted, but managed to carve out a place for himself amongst the Rams practice squad and reserves.

Meanwhile, James MacRae, a computer engineering major from the UVA Class of 2014, won himself a ring for his work as a video manager for Rams. It takes a village!

Governor Glenn Youngkin texted State Senate Majority Leader Louise Lucas to thank her for giving a speech on Black history last week— except the speech was actually given by a different Black woman, Senator Mamie Locke.

Youngkin apologized and Lucas told The Washington Post she was initially “going to let that one go,” but after the fight over Youngkin’s cabinet appointees heated up last week, Lucas decided to call the Gov out on Twitter. Lucas posted photos of Locke and herself, and wrote, “Study the photos and you will get this soon!”

“Simply naming the people who were a part of this is an extremely important aspect, much more so than necessarily identifying the exact spots,” said committee chair Phil Varner.

Committee member Jalane Schmidt, director of UVA’s Memory Project, said that she plans to continue facilitating research on Court Square for at least another year, and may bring more students onto the research team in the future.

The committee also discussed the Court Square project progress report that it’s doing for City Council. Some members advised against the report title including the terms “human trafficking” and “antebellum.”

“If we’re writing a report for council, and we want their support, we should probably keep it as simple and as straightforward as we can. And let them come to their own terms with this new language that is much more emotion-invoking,” said member Dede Smith.

Schmidt explained that journalists and the mainstream public have begun adopting such terms—often used by historians—in recent years, and suggested the report take time to explain human trafficking and other historical terms.

Council is expected to discuss the report during its next meeting, on February 22.

harlottesville’s Historic Resource Committee continues to work toward replacing the Court Square slave auction block marker, which was thrown into a river by a local resident in 2020.

During a February 11 meeting, University of Virginia graduate students Jake Calhoun and MaDeja Leverett presented their research on Court Square to the committee. Over the past few months, the students have searched the city’s courthouse books for records of sales of enslaved people.

From 19th century wills, the students learned that the court played a prominent role in selling enslaved people after their enslavers died.

“Normally, what the court decides to do is appoint a commissioner to basically take charge of the enslaved and sell them at the courthouse,” explained Calhoun. “The court is basically acting as an arbiter, or tool of enslavement.”

So far, the students have identified the names of over a dozen enslaved people who were sold on the courthouse steps. They also plan to search for records of enslaved people in the Albemarle County court minute books, as well as share their findings on a public database.

Ever dream of cracking a century-old code?

Ken Cox, a 20-year-old UVA student, won second place in a competition from the University of Leicester to decode parts of a onepage letter written by Charles Dickens in his baffling shorthand over 165 years ago. The son of a Dickens fan, Cox was already familiar with some of Dickens’ writing, and worked on deciphering the code for a few hours each day across a few weeks, reports The New York Times. Thanks to the work of Cox and other decoders, the meaning of 70 percent of Dickens’ text has now been uncovered. (And no, it wasn’t just his shopping list—the note details a dispute Dickens had with a newspaper advertising department.)

BLUE RIDGE HEALTH DISTRICT

LET’S GET HEALTHY TOGETHER!

Area COVID cases are on the decline, but health care workers still feel overwhelmed.

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

I

n January, the highly contagious omicron variant brought coronavirus cases to an all-time high in the Charlottesville area. The Blue Ridge Health District reported over 11,000 new cases and nearly 200 hospitalizations—the largest surge since the pandemic started in February 2020.

Over the past few weeks, cases and hospitalizations have significantly declined.

On February 13, the health district reported just six new cases. However, UVA Health employees continue to reel from the surge, which heaped additional stress upon the hospital’s limited staff.

“On my days off in January, every day it seemed like I was getting a text from work, [saying] ‘hey do you want to come and pick up, because we’re running close,’” says a UVA nurse, who wishes to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation. “It was that way all over the hospital.”

Last month, the hospital admitted over 100 coronavirus patients. Many nurses contracted the virus and had to quarantine at home, worsening the hospital’s staffing crisis.

“We started to see more patients who maybe weren’t in the hospital for COVID necessarily, but we later found out they were COVID positive,” says the nurse. “You have to put them on special isolation precautions, which makes them much more labor intensive to take care of.”

Over the course of the pandemic, intense burnout and exhaustion has led numerous health care workers to call it quits. Some units have lost all of their core staff, and are completely reliant on travel nurses, claims the nurse.

According to UVA Health spokesman Eric Swensen, about 21 percent of hospital staff—including nearly 25 percent of nurses—turned over last year. To recruit more employees, the hospital has ramped up its partnerships with nursing schools across

the country, as well as developed paid training programs for various positions, like pharmacy technicians. From August to January, the hospital has hired 865 new employees.

This month, the health system received over $2 million in federal funding to expand its peer support program, designed to reduce burnout and stress, and promote mental wellness. The program, Wisdom & Wellbeing, trains employees to identify and address stressors in themselves and their co-workers, and connects them with helpful resources, including exercise classes, nutrition services, and professional counseling, explains program co-creator Dr. Richard Westphal.

“If we can recognize when we have a coworker who has a potential stress-related illness, how do we help them get connected with professional help early?” says Westphal. “We all know that the earlier that someone engages with therapy and professional services when they have the emerging symptoms of a mental disorder, the better the outcomes.”

Though the nurse believes the wellness program is “well-intentioned,” he thinks the hospital should pay employees better.

Last fall, the health system announced it planned to spend more than $30 million this fiscal year on long-awaited wage increases. He’d also like to see employees have more decision-making power.

“Make our wages competitive with travelers—that’s what would make us feel appreciated,” he says.

To keep coronavirus cases down—and reduce the heavy burden on health care workers—community members are encouraged to get vaccinated, wear N95 masks, and social distance. Immunocompromised individuals are now eligible to receive a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine three months after their third dose.

“If you know a health care worker, just stay in touch with them and see how they’re doing,” says the nurse.

FOIA showdown Bell’s bill would reverse reform as a lawsuit looms

By Courteney Stuart

AMY SMITH

L

Delegate Rob Bell’s new FOIA law is designed to protect families of crime victims— but opponents say it could have the opposite effect.

ville police for records in Miller’s case in July, soon after the new law took effect. Police initially provided a time and cost estimate for fulfillment, then, after multiple delays, reversed course. In October, the department denied the request for any records in the case. The suit alleges that complete denial violates the new FOIA law.

The Miller family’s situation offers another case study for Bell’s bill. If it becomes law, the bill would prevent access to closed police case files by anyone other than immediate family, defined as a spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent or grandchild. In Miller’s case, that would mean only her mother.

“This bill [says] that victims should certainly still be allowed to have access to those records,” Bell says. His bill also calls for victims’ family members to be able to file an injunction against anyone seeking information in a case through FOIA.

“[Police] release the records that make them look good, and they don’t release the records that make them look bad.” MATT HARDIN Hicks and Goodbody’s attorney, Matthew Hardin, the former Greene County commonwealth’s attorney, spoke against the bill at a subcommittee hearing on February 8.

“The problem is when records can be released on a discretionary basis, which is how it used to be, the police could decide unilaterally when they wanted to give up records and when they wanted to keep them secret,” Hardin tells C-VILLE. “Of course, they release the records that make them look good,

“Whereas students used to clean up after themselves habitually, now in the absence of paper towels, the sinks are caked with toothpaste, hair, hair-dye, and bodily fluids among others,” the petition reads.

The messes become the custodial staff’s responsibility, which first-year Ezgi Stump, who started the petition, finds unfair. More than 350 students across the university have already signed the petition.

“As first-years we overwhelmingly do not consent to UVA reaching its ‘sustainability goals’ by subjecting us to noisy and unhygienic conditions,” Stump says. “This decision reflects incredibly poor judgment on behalf of HRL and any other parties involved.”

Paper towels, we need you.—Maryann Xue

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Living in a college dorm has its perks—but it also means sharing a communal bathroom with 20 other people. You never know what you might find in the sink, especially in the aftermath of a UVA weekend.

Since January, residents of the school’s McCormick Road dorms have been without access to paper towels, and instead have only hand dryers available.

Housing and Residence Life explained that this action was taken for sustainability purposes, but students have started a petition calling for paper towels to be restored, saying that bathrooms have become unsanitary in their absence. Residents also pointed out that hand dryers can spread pathogens, especially during the ongoing pandemic.

Students say, paper please!

February 16 – 22, 2022 c-ville.com

ess than a year after a new Freedom of Information Act law expanded public access to police investigative files in Virginia, Delegate Rob Bell has sponsored a bill that would reverse the reform, citing concern for victims’ privacy.

“There were immediate efforts to access what I would call very private information,” Bell says.

He described a TV producer requesting access to a case file from the parents of murdered UVA student Hannah Graham, soon after the new law went into effect in July 2021. When the Grahams refused, Bell says the producer sought the complete investigative file in Graham’s murder through a FOIA request.

Bell’s bill passed through the House General Laws Committee last week on a party-line vote, helped by support from the parents of Graham and Morgan Harrington. It has alarmed family members of another woman, Molly Meghan Miller, whose 2017 death was investigated in Charlottesville and ruled a suicide.

“For over three years, this grim experience, from start to finish, has left our family with countless unanswered questions and unresolved concerns,” write Miller’s aunts, Tina Hicks and Lori Goodbody, in an affidavit attached to a FOIA lawsuit. The pair hopes to use the more expansive FOIA laws to learn more about the investigation into Miller’s death. The suit was sent to the city as formal notification of their intent to take legal action, and was received on February 3.

Miller was reported missing in December 2017. After a three-day search, Charlottesville police located her remains inside her own home. Miller’s death divided her family, with her mother publicly expressing support for police and requesting privacy, while other family members and friends expressed doubts about the investigation and what really happened to Miller. Miller’s mother did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

Hicks and Goodbody’s suit claims that they filed a FOIA request with Charlottes-

and they don’t release the records that make them look bad.”

Hardin, a Republican, says the current FOIA law already grants an exemption to police allowing them to withhold crime scene photos and other personal information about victims and witnesses. He points out that Bell’s bill’s reference to immediate family doesn’t fit with a lot of Virginia families, which may include same-sex parents or step-parents.

“It’s not just a problem under FOIA,” Hardin says. “This is actually an attempt to take the definition of family back to the 1950s.”

While Bell claims his bill would protect victims’ and witnesses’ privacy, Hardin believes greater transparency helps build trust between police departments and the communities they serve.

The Virginia Coalition for Open Government also opposes Bell’s bill, according to Executive Director Megan Rhyne.

“We believe that like any other governmental entity, there needs to be some sort of oversight over how police and prosecutors do their jobs,” Rhyne says. “We don’t want to interfere in the ability to conduct an investigation, but once it’s completed and there’s no harm to come from disclosure, they should be releasing records the way other public bodies do.”

She also points out that not all victims have the same reaction in these situations— victims of the 2019 mass shooting at Virginia Beach supported expanded access to police case files.

As Bell’s bill wends through the General Assembly, Hardin says he is waiting for a response from the city before filing the FOIA lawsuit in Miller’s case. City Attorney Lisa Robertson did not return a call requesting comment.

Hardin says he’ll continue to speak out against Bell’s bill, and he hopes other victims of crimes who prefer greater police transparency will also speak up.

“I think that all we’re saying is, once [an] investigation’s over, let the public take a look at it and see what went right and what went wrong,” Hardin says.

Seeing them off A funeral home employee reflects on our rituals of death

By Finn Lynch

EZE AMOS

I

Finn Lynch works as a funeral assistant at Hill & Wood Funeral Service in Charlottesville.

I covered her with a sheet and a soft red blanket, then I watched as her brother carefully tucked them around her feet. He saw me looking.

“I don’t want her to get cold,” he told me.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

The families we help in the funeral industry mourn loss and celebrate life in different ways. They choose cherrywood or mahogany caskets, or urns made of Himalayan salt or Grecian marble. Some have groups sing songs at the funerals, some release birds. They are almost all guided by a common central thought: It’s what they would have wanted.

Some gather for a formal ceremony, united in love and loss. Others scatter ashes in a river, reconnecting with each other on the journey. Some families pay tribute by donating the deceased’s organs and bodies to save lives and educate the next generation of doctors and surgeons. We always try to honor the wishes of the dead.

People like to think the funeral industry and these rituals are meant for the dead. And of course we do take care of the decedents.

We clean them up and make them look decent. We put their favorite cufflinks on their

stiff wrists or apply blue eyeshadow to their closed lids. But this isn’t for the benefit of the deceased—as much as people like to claim their loved ones would insist on being seen a certain way. All of the work is for the living.

Everything we do is for the people left behind. We make sure that families feel reassured as they arrange services. We help them figure out how to make their budget work, where to hold the service, what kind of prayer cards or music or flower arrangements might be needed. Our job is to take care of the deceased, but it’s also to take the worry off the shoulders of their families.

I’ve found that people in mourning often don’t think of funerals this way. The living think they don’t need a ceremony to be reminded that their loved one is gone. They tell themselves the trouble they’re going to and the money they’re spending is dedicated to honoring the deceased—during this process, people can fail to see how these services and ceremonies bring the living comfort, ease, and closure.

Loss can be frightening, whether you’re the one leaving or the one left behind. But our funeral rituals help ease the struggle, the loneliness, the grief. We use these small details to make our loved ones feel remembered and comforted in their next life, and those small details do the same for us. We remember our departed in their favorite eyeshadow or cologne, in the lyrics of their favorite song, in the taste of their little mint candies.

@cville_weekly

We have a tool for that, however. We left the stretcher just outside the house and used the Reeves stretcher, a dark canvas with handles all along the edges. We tuck it underneath decedents, so we can lift and carry them in a hammock-like style. As my coworker and I went through this process, the woman’s family assisted us—the weight of a person is difficult to maneuver, even after they’ve passed. The family helped us get her onto the purse, wiped her nose when she dripped blood, and carried her onto the stretcher with us. I covered her with a sheet and a soft red blanket, then I watched as her brother carefully tucked them around her feet. He saw me looking. “I don’t want her to get cold,” he told me.

Once my co-worker and I got the woman into our removal van, we said our farewells to the family and let them know how to reach us. As we began to drive away, the decedent’s father approached our vehicle. He thanked us again and asked, somewhat hesitantly, if we could play songs from her favorite musician on the way back to the funeral home.

I hooked my phone up to the aux cord, and we listened for the entire ride back. Even when we were out of sight of the family, even when we were miles away, I made sure that the woman in the back of our vehicle knew she was safe with us. Later, when she was lying on a prep table in the funeral home and I was washing blood out of her hair, I found myself singing the lyrics she loved.

February 16 – 22, 2022 c-ville.com

see a dead body at least once a week.

The decedent in front of me today is an old man who died in hospice care.

We have him dressed for viewing in a dark suit and his favorite striped tie. His clothes are a little too big for him now. We placed a bit of clay under his bottom lip, allowing us to glue his lips together in a peaceful, pursed position. We’ve closed his eyes, and fixed them closed with spiky eye caps hidden under his lids. I stand and stare at him.

My manager enters, and tells me the decendent’s daughter, waiting downstairs, would like us to shave him. I have the razor in my hand. I stare at the man laying on the porcelain prep table. His wrinkled skin is soft and lies delicately over his bony features. His beard is patchy but his mustache is more defined, and it’s really only the bit under the chin that looks unseemly. I’m not sure whether I should shave his whole face or not.

We go talk to his daughter. She’s waiting in the arrangements room, sitting at an old desk with papers in front of her, focused on the information my manager has given her.

We’re at Hill & Wood Funeral Service in downtown Charlottesville, where I work as a funeral assistant.

When I ask how much of his facial hair I should shave, she says we should have him clean shaven. My manager assures her we’ll have him looking his best.

As we leave to finish preparing him, the daughter sheepishly asks us for a favor. She reaches out and places two mint candies into my manager’s palm, and asks if we could tuck them into her father’s pants pocket.

This isn’t the first time we’ve had this kind of request. Families often like to honor their loved ones with little tokens—lipstick, tobacco, stuffed animals, and candies. Something comforting to take with them, something to make them feel loved.

This man always had something sweet with him, she says. So we make sure he has sweets for the next life, too.

My job is hardly ever a pretty one, and only sometimes a happy one, but the work I do is nevertheless humanizing and loving.

It shows me how much people care for one another—love can be stored in little mint candies.

Another decedent I worked with was a woman who died at home. I went with my co-worker to pick her up and take her into the care of the funeral home. She had spent her final moments surrounded by parents, brothers and sisters, nieces and cousins; all there to make her feel safe and loved.

There was one issue. The front door and hallway were too tight for our stretcher to enter. We wouldn’t be able to move her onto it, and wheel her out as efficiently as we could with other decedents.

In Greek mythology Dionysus, the god of wine, was born of fire and nursed by rain, like the hard burning heat that ripe the grapes and the water that keeps the vines alive. DIO is a unique blend of several red grapes that grow well here in Virginia. For Horton this a resurrection of our founder, Dennis Horton’s vision for Virginia Wine. Although Dennis had passed when we put this dry blend together, the Hortons’s felt his presence as each barrel was chosen. Please enjoy what Dennis knew all along was possible in Virginia.

Spark is our Bordeaux style blend, comprised of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. After barrel aging for 20 months, you’ll find notes of dried fruit, dark plums and rich earthy spice.

Enjoy now, or age for a special occasion!

While this wine is perfect to drink on its own during the chilly season, suggested paring for this wine would be roasted duck, paella dishes with chorizo, or even a classic s’more.

Blackwater Bitters began with two friends making Christmas gifts. Now, it’s a woman-owned business in Lynchburg. Look for traditional flavors such as orange, but don’t miss the mocha bitters. Cacao and locally roasted coffee beans impart bitterness, along with orange peel, chicory, cinnamon, and sweet molasses. blackwaterbitters.com

You’ll have to find your own favorite, but the Amaro delle Sirene recipe dates back to 1931, and sources more than 30 roots and herbs.

Vermouth

Amaro comes from Italian origins and is a liqueur that has been infused with a complex recipe of herbs and spices. There are thousands of versions of amaro, and the recipes are often closely guarded. Most amaro has at least some bitter component to it, but it can also be quite sweet. Historically served neat as a digestif, amaro has become popular in cocktail recipes.

Don Ciccio & Figli is a family business founded in Italy that was revived in Washington, D.C., by Francesco Amodeo, who has been recognized for preserving his family’s traditional recipes and techniques.

Experiencing great growth since its 2012 inception, the company now produces 15 different bottlings.

Closer to home, Spirit Lab Distilling produces Forage Amaro each year with pawpaw, maypop, and hardy oranges that are foraged from the Charlottesville area.

Hyper-local and made only in very small batches, this is a true reflection of the season and the local terroir.

Rosemont partners with Capitoline Vermouth of Washington, D.C., to produce a deliciously sweet vermouth featuring flavors of orange and citrus peel along with local herbs and other aromatics. This is vermouth that can be consumed on its own, but also brings brightness and sweetness to a favorite cocktail recipe. rosemontofvirginia.com

@cville_culture

Think of bitters as a spice or a condiment for drinks, much in the same way salt or pepper are used in food. Bitters are simply a base of neutral alcohol infused with botanicals, and as the name implies, some of these usually impart bitter flavor. Originally marketed as medicinal, then finding popularity as digestifs, bitters today are usually used to bring interest and depth to cocktails.

There are two small-batch producers of note close to Charlottesville: Blackwater Bitters based in Lynchburg, and Artemisia Farm and Vineyard outside of Marshall.

Both feature online ordering as well as recipes on their websites.

The Wool Factory currently features Bitte as part of its bar program. This is a bitter, dry, white vermouth that was designed specifically for use in cocktail recipes, but also makes an excellent digestif when paired with soda water or ginger ale. It’s available for sale at The Wool Factory’s on-site wine shop. thewoolfactory.com

sold as medicine, but today it is commonly served as an aperitif or part of a cocktail.

There are several local, high-quality vermouths worth seeking out. Flying Fox produces one each quarter with botanicals that match the season.

Why Kids Need It Now More Than Ever

Join us for Kids and Adult Group Music Classes www.frontporchcville.org Change is a part of life. It is often directly related to survival and can enrich one's life in ways unexpected.

Childhood is in essence a time of profound change and development.

It is exciting and disquieting at the same time. When it comes to our children, we need to be sure that change is made for the better.

We've been so concentrated on the brain, we forget about the rest of our bodies. This change in focus has lead to an obesity rate that is unacceptable. Our kids are not as healthy as the generation before.

Families used to live in a community. We've lost that, keeping kids inside and losing a sense of neighborhood.

Add to that the fact that our kids stand to inherit all the economic, social, and environmental challenges we've created, and the legacy we have left our children and youth begins to look bleak.

So, how do we prepare our children with the skills and more importantly, the competencies they will need to tackle changes in our world?

We could start with a positive camp experience. A quality camp experience provides our children with the opportunity to learn powerful lessons in community, character-building, skill development, and healthy living — a meaningful, engaged, and participatory environment.

Camp promotes community. It creates this great space that shows kids how to live together and care for one another. There are norms and negotiation of boundaries; there are rules. Camp is a place where kids can "practice" growing up stretching their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive muscles outside the context of their immediate family. This is what childhood is supposed to provide.

Camp teaches critical thinking.

We need to remember how important it is to be actively involved in

the learning process, and camp affords that. We're going to need really strong problem solvers in the next century. We need the science, math, and biology, but without the ability to relate, connect, empathize, or inspire innovation, how will our kids be able to make a difference in the challenges now facing us?

The camp experience embraces the natural environment. While children have fewer and fewer opportunities to be outdoors, the camp

Our kids are not as healthy as the generation before. experience advances the outdoor learning environment. As we become more concerned about saving the planet, we run out and make DVDs and videos about it. But the environment needs to be experienced to be appreciated. Kids need to catch tadpoles in the creek, wander among the trees, and feel the sun on their faces to understand the importance of those things.

Camp creates future leaders. The camp experience offers kids a closeup look at compassionate leadership through the camp director, counselors, resident nutritionist, and other camp personnel. And kids get loads of opportunities to practice being a leader themselves — song leader, lunch table leader, team captain, the list goes on and on.

Camp is an equal opportunity life changer. It addresses universal childhood needs not specific to a particular racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic group. Nobody is left out. It's all about childhood development.

Camp has a lasting impact. One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is a sense of success and achievement. Camp teaches kids how to be active participants, ask questions, ask for help, and try new things. They leave understanding that it's okay to feel a little uncomfortable sometimes, because that's generally what happens when you're getting ready to learn something.

The camp experience translates back in real-world experience — in an "I can" attitude.

We need to advocate for our young people. We should promote opportunities for kids — give them camp experiences that serve as an antidote for the world's challenges.

We need to recognize this is not a series of frivolous activities. We often think if it looks like fun it must be unimportant, but "fun" is a young

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Self-control might be as passionate and as active as the surrender to passion,” wrote Aquarian author W. Somerset Maugham. Yes! I agree! And that’s the perfect message for you to hear right now. If you choose to take advantage of the potentials that life is offering you, you will explore and experiment with the mysteries of self-discipline and self-command. You’ll be a trailblazer of discernment and poise.

You will indulge in and enjoy the pleasures of self-regulation.

(Feb. 19-March 20): In 1961, Piscean cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. As his feat neared its end, Gagarin left the capsule at 20,000 feet above the ground and parachuted the rest of the way. He arrived in a turnip field where a girl and her grandmother were working. They provided him with a horse and cart so he could travel to the nearest telephone and make a call to get picked up and brought back to headquarters. I foresee a metaphorically comparable series of events transpiring in your life, Pisces. Be flexible and adaptable as you adjust to changing conditions with changing strategies. Your exceptional and illustrious activities may require the assistance of humble influences.

February 16 – 22, 2022 c-ville.com

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re slipping into a phase when stuff that has been invisible will become visible, at least to you. You will have extra power to peer beneath the surfaces and discern the hidden agendas and study the deeper workings. Your interest in trivia and distractions will dissipate, and you’ll feel intensified yearnings to home in on core truths. Here’s your guiding principle during this time: Favor the interests of the soul over those of the ego. And for inspiration, have fun with this quote by religious scholar Huston Smith: “The Transcendent was my morning meal, we had the Eternal at lunch, and I ate a slice of the Infinite at dinner.”

Taurus

ROCK BRANCH Horse and Cattle

(April 20-May 20): “You cannot have fun with anything that you don’t love or admire or respect,” declared comedian Mel Brooks.

I agree! The joyous release that comes through playful amusement is most likely to unfold when you’re in the presence of influences you are fond of. The good news, Taurus, is that in the coming weeks, you will have a special inclination and knack for hanging around people and influences like that. Therefore, you will have an enhanced capacity for mirth and delight and pleasure. Take full advantage, please! As much as possible, gravitate toward what you love and admire and respect.

Gemini (May 21–June 20): “The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off

everything else,” says Gemini author Vikram Seth. I bring this truth to your attention because I believe you will soon be the beneficiary of steady, strong waves of inspiration. I also predict that these waves will transport you away from minor irritations that are best left alone for now.

Be alert and ever-ready to spring into action, my dear, so that as the inspirational surges flow, you will harvest the maximum rewards from their gifts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): The advice that Reb Nachman of Breslov offered two centuries ago is just right for you now: “Never ask directions from someone who knows the way, or you will never be able to get lost.”

In the coming weeks, you will attract tricky but palpable blessings from meandering around without knowing exactly where you are. It’s time for you to find out what you don’t even realize you need to know; to stumble upon quiet little wonders and marvels that will ultimately prove to be guideposts for your holy quests in the future. Yes, I understand that being in unknown territory without a reliable map isn’t usually a pleasure, but I believe it will be for you. PS: Our fellow Cancerian, author Rebecca Solnit, wrote a book entitled A Field Guide to Getting Lost. It might be helpful during your wanderings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “You face your greatest opposition when you’re closest to your biggest miracle,” wrote author and filmmaker T. D. Jakes. According to my analysis of upcoming astrological omens, that’s good advice for you. I suspect that the problems you encounter will be among your best and most useful ever. With the right attitude, you will harness the challenges to generate magnificent breakthroughs. And what’s the right attitude? Proceed with the hypothesis that life is now conspiring to bring your soul exactly what your soul needs to express its ripest beauty.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Always remember this,” said actor Hattie McDaniel. “There are only 18 inches between a pat on the back and a kick in the rump.” Metaphorically speaking, I believe her advice will be useful for you in the coming days. Lately, you’ve had to deal with too many experiences and influences akin to kicks in the rump. But now that will change. Soon there’ll be a surge of experiences and influences that resem-

Q&A ble pats on the back. In my estimation, you have finished paying your dues and making course corrections. Now it’s time for you to receive meaningful appreciation and constructive approval.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author Gayle Forman offers a set of truths that I suspect will be useful for you in the coming weeks. They may even be inspirational and motivational. Forman writes, “Sometimes fate or life or whatever you want to call it, leaves a door a little open, and you walk through it. But sometimes it locks the door and you have to find the key, or pick the lock, or knock the damn thing down. And sometimes, it doesn’t even show you the door, and you have to build it yourself.” Are you ready for the challenge, Libra? I think you are. Do whatever you must do to go through the doorways you want and need to go through.

What do you want to happen to your body when you die?

I believe that as he fell to his untimely and tragic death at the end of the first level in 1991’s Arcade smash hit Sunset Riders, Simon Greedwell, with his last earthly breath, said it best: “BURY ME WITH MY MONEY!” @USERNAME_CHASE_/INSTAGRAM

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash described her process, she said: “I dream of songs. I dream they fall down through the centuries, from my distant ancestors, and come to me. I dream of lullabies and sea shanties and keening cries and rhythms and stories and backbeats.” Scorpio, I would love for you to explore comparable approaches to getting the creative ideas you need to live your best life possible. I would love for you to draw freely from sources beyond your conscious ego—including your ancestors, the people you were in previous incarnations, gods and spirits, heroes and allies, the intelligence of animals, and the wisdom of nature.

Natural organic reduction, also known as human composting.

You end up as highquality dirt. Failing that, interment in a cardboard coffin, to hasten decomposition.

Place my cremains into a Duncan Hines brownie mix box.

Before I sold my farm I would have said “get the backhoe and plant me in the garden,” now I’m thinkin’ about the natural cemetery that’s here in Virginia. I’m always open to suggestions.

(Dec. 22-Jan.19): The fastest animal on earth is the peregrine falcon, which can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour when it dives from a great height. The seventh-fastest creature is the humble pigeon. Having been clocked at 92.5 miles per hour, the bird outpaces the cheetah, which is the fastest land animal. I propose we make the pigeon your spirit creature for the coming weeks. On the one hand, you may seem mild and modest to casual observers. On the other hand, you will in fact be sleek, quick, and agile. Like the pigeon, you will also be highly adaptable, able to thrive in a variety of situations.

Aquamation with burial of remains under a river birch tree.

Drag me out to the woods and have an Irish wake with a mariachi band for me! Tell all the stories, good and bad.

Then just walk away...I’ll be on the other side by then.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Madeleine Thien has lived in Vancouver, Montreal, and Iowa City, and has taught at schools in Hong Kong and Brooklyn. Her father was born and raised in Malaysia and her mother in Hong Kong. She has a rich array of different roots.

Not surprisingly, then, she has said, “I like to think of home as a verb, something we keep recreating.” That’s an excellent meditation for you right now, Sagittarius. And it will continue to be worthy of your ruminations for another four months. What’s the next step you could take to feel comfortable and secure and at peace?

Augusta County’s Lifestyle, Culture and Spectacular Scenery

BY KEN WILSON

“WHAT I LIKE ABOUT AUGUSTA,” says Derek Flory, a born and bred native, “is that it’s the bulls-eye of the Shenandoah Valley. This is where a lot of people land.”

Well of course they do. “You can see the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains here,” says REALTOR® Debbie Shickel. “It’s generally fairly green, and the climate is fairly temperate— cooler than Charlottesville in the summer, but we get more snow. Driving here is really nice; you can get on a back road and see animals and farm life and little villages where people still live, like Middlebrook and McKinley and Greenville.”

The Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley countryside’s charms bring them in, and then they discover the George Washington National Forest, and 25-acre, spring-fed Sherando Lake.

Maybe they spend a few hours at Andre Viette Farm & Nursery in Fishersville, where the flower and tree gardens are open year round, or they visit Joel Salatin’s nationally known Polyface Farm in Swope, where the curious opt for the Grass Stains tour and the intrepid don’t shirk from the Lunatic.

They might check out the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, and learn about family farming in Augusta and all around the world. Last, or maybe first— certainly not least!—they discover the P. Buckley Moss Museum in Waynesboro, and pick up a painting or print by the artist who finds her inspiration in the surrounding valley.

Evening comes, and the delighted explorer might take in a play at the American Shakespeare Center, or try a restaurant, white cloth or funky, in the independent city of Staunton, home of hilly streets, picturesque architecture, and an old-time, storybook downtown. “Augusta,” says Flory, with considerable understatement, “has a little bit for everybody.”

An Associate Broker with Kline May Realty, and the Team Lead for Mountain Valley Homes Team, what Flory enjoys most about Augusta is its ample spaces for camping, hiking, and shooting sports.

As an animal lover, he and his realty team support local animal care groups like Augusta Dog Adoptions, Augusta SPCA, and the Mosby Foundation.

It’s the kind of considerate team activity you’d expect in Augusta, where neighbors were quick to help neighbors Barren Orchards Vineyards

last summer when heavy rains hit. “A lot of businesses flooded,” Flory remembers, “a lot of pre-schools were displaced, and a lot of volunteers were out. People opened their doors. It was an amazing outpouring of help.”

Agricultural Tradition That outpouring may be attributable in part to the county’s agricultural tradition, “The yeoman farmer,” as Thomas Jefferson famously said, “best exemplifies civic virtue.”

Former Augusta County Director of Economic Development Amanda Glover certainly agrees. “Our agricultural heritage has shaped our strong work ethic for centuries,” she says. “The agricultural component is a big part of who we are as people and as a community.”

Dubbed the “Breadbasket of the Con-

federacy” during the Civil War, Augusta’s fields were subject to burning under Union Major Gen. Philip H. Sheridan.

Today, Shickel says, “a lot of people here have mini-farms. They move here and want just a small acreage; they want to be able to have a horse or a cow. A lot are getting goats now, and some people raise llamas.

“You have people who have organic farms, who participate in the farmers markets. A lot of people on farms [like Salatin’s Polyface] are trying to give people the farm experience. Then you have people who raise vegetables and animals in small production. We have a big farm to table thing here, so a lot of the local restaurants get their meat and seasonal produce locally. Some of the farms have been turned into little vineyards and wineries; Baron Ridge Vineyards was a farm at one time.”

Grapes, Hops, Liquid Refreshment The land on which Barren Orchards Vineyards sits in Fishersville was planted as an apple orchard in 1910, and has been in the family of the current owner, John Higgs, since 1930. John and his wife Shelby returned home in 2004 after years of living in Europe, and began dreaming of turning the abandoned orchard into the beautiful winery it is today. They planted Petit Verdot and Merlot vines in 2007, and opened to the public in 2008.

Barren Orchards is open seven days a week now, and currently offers 15 dif-

ferent wines; live music is heard every Saturday and Sunday afternoon. And the view is spectacular. Looking west from the patio, you see West Virginia and the Alleghany mountains. Closer by are the twin Staunton hills dubbed “The Sisters,” Betsy Bell and Mary Grey. Also in view are the Little North and North mountains, the seventh highest peak in Virginia, Elliot’s Knob, and the tenth, Reddish Knob.

Beer lovers can spend a long weekend sampling Augusta’s brews and enjoying its scenery. Staunton alone has four breweries; Waynesboro has three more.

For example, Stable Craft Brewing is located on a working horse and hop farm.

With a focus on sustainable practices, it is the first brewery on the east coast to launch a zero-waste food initiative.

When Craig and Nikki Nargi bought the property and its 288-foot barn in 2006, they ran it as a horse boarding facility, but already dreamed of hosting weddings, receptions, and other events.

Craig took their plans to Richmond and lobbied for legislation that helped kick start the fledgling agri-tourism business.

Today the farm’s repurposed and renovated stables are home to taps. Stable Craft’s taproom features three separate bars with five unique dining spaces and pays homage to the brewery’s equestrian roots. The brewery also boasts heated patios, private “igloos” for outdoor dining, event spaces and biking trails, and regularly hosts live musicians.

Along with an extensive “Agripub” menu, Stable Craft offers 13 beers, five

ciders, and at least two puns—Shenny Doah, anyone? That’s a 4.7 percent ABV Pilsner.

The Cloudius Claudius IPA with an ABV of 7.5 percent presumably references Claudius Crozet, who designed and engineered the 4,273-foot Blue Ridge Tunnel beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains that opened in 1858.

Visitors also enjoy the brewery’s Fruited CBD seltzers and hand-crafted sodas.

Education Some people get to know Augusta County when they matriculate at Mary Baldwin University in Staunton. Founded in 1842 as a women’s school, Mary Baldwin has long offered an adult degree course of study for men as well, and became fully co-educational in 2017. Today it offers over 30 majors in its undergraduate, graduate, and online programs.

Blue Ridge Community College in Weyer’s Cave offers associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates in occupational/ technical and college/university transfer programs, along with non-credit workforce training, and special interest classes for individuals, business, and industry.

Degrees like these lead to well-paying jobs in Augusta, and there are plenty of them. “We have a very diverse economy,” notes Marshall Pattie, formerly on the Augusta County Board of Supervisors and now running for county delegate to the Virginia General Assembly. “We survive economic downturns better than most communities do.”

Augusta has also become a bedroom community for people working in Charlottesville, who might find a threebedroom, two-bath house for just twothirds the cost of a similar home in the larger city. White collar workers love the county’s relatively slow pace of life, the low cost of living, and the recreational opportunities it offers after a long day at the computer, Shickel notes. Others live where they play.

“COVID has shown folks they don’t have to be in cities or big urban areas to work and do business. High speed internet access allows them to work from home remotely.” Retired senior citizens, meanwhile, find security in their close proximity to the hospital.

Retirees have time to relish Augusta’s history, distinguished for much more than a ruthless general’s destruction. Named after an 18th century princess of Wales, mother to Britain’s King George III, Augusta County was established in 1738.

Its territory at the time extended “to the utmost limits of Virginia,” which effectively meant all the way to the Mississippi, given that Britain claimed ownership that far west. West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and part of Pennsylvania were all eventually created out of “Augusta County.”

“Augusta County is one of the oldest counties in Virginia, and one of the largest,” Shickel says. “It has a lot of history.”

That history includes President Woodrow Wilson, whose Staunton birthplace,

referred to as the Manse, was built in 1846 and today houses his official presidential library and museum. It also includes Grandma Moses (1860-1961), the folk artist who didn’t take up painting till age 78, but upon her death was recognized by President John F. Kennedy as “a beloved figure from American life.” Moses and her husband worked on Staunton-area farms for nearly 20 years.

Seniors with a mind to travel enjoy the ease of transportation in Augusta, where highways like the intersecting Routes 64 and 81 connect not only to Charlottesville but to Lexington to the south and Harrisonburg to the north. For connnection to points far beyond, Amtrak’s Cardinal line stops in Staunton on its runs from New York to Chicago and back. The Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport in Weyers Cave offers daily round trip flights to Washington-Dulles (IAD) and Chicago O’Hare (ORD) through United Airlines, operated by their regional partner SkyWest.

But who wants to go anywhere? Let’s see what one of Augusta County’s biggest fans, Lyn Gunsalus, thinks about that. “I can’t think of a better way to spend an hour than being in Augusta County,” Gunsalus says.

“What I love about life in Augusta and its environs is, foremost, the beauty of the mountains surrounding the Shenandoah Valley, like a shawl draped gently around a woman’s shoulders. Beyond the beauty, I love the ease and slow pace of the small towns. I smile when I pull up to the Post Office and immediately find a parking space, or when I go in to conduct my business and encounter no line that requires my waiting.”

“It’s the small things in life that make the living pleasant. A main street like Beverley in the heart of Staunton is a pleasure to walk up and down, poking into the small shops along the way. Or sitting outside at one of the many restaurants in warm weather and hearing the lovely church bells at Trinity Episcopal Church toll the hour. Ahhh.”

FEATURE

“The economy here is doing very well, Flory agrees. “We have a pretty high industrial area. Between Staunton and Waynesboro is kind of the technology corridor—we have a lot of industry and technology centers moving in, and also small, family-operated businesses.” Amazon is eyeing a site just off Route 64 in Fishersville, where it may situate a large distribution center.

Among current major employers is Augusta Health, a 224-bed general medical and surgical hospital in Fishersville, where the 2010 census population was less than 8,000. Target Distribution Center, Hollister Incorporated, which manufactures medical devices, and McKee Foods (makers of Little Debbie Snacks) are all in Stuarts Draft, not much larger than Fishersville. So is the Hershey Company, in a facility soon to be expanded.
