IN BRIEF Fiery words

Charlottesville Fire Chief Andrew Baxter resigned last week, after five years leading the department. Over the past few months, the CFD had publicly feuded with City Manager Tarron Richardson, who Baxter called a “transactional, unfocused, disengaged, dismissive bully,” according to The Daily Progress. Baxter is the latest in a string of experienced city government employees who have quit since Richardson arrived in May 2019.

Rookie of the year Although the spring season of collegiate athletics was canceled this year, UVA women’s tennis still scored a win. First-year Natasha Subhash was named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s National Rookie of the Year in May. Earlier, Subhash won the ITA Singles Atlantic Region Championship, and ended the season with an impressive singles record of 26-6, ranking 10th nationally.

Protests against police brutality continue in Charlottesville. On June 13, hundreds of people gathered in the parking lot of the John Paul Jones Arena to make noise and march.

The event was peaceful, but observers noted that the Virginia State Police had been called in to supervise. The state police were photographed in Charlottesville Police Department cars, but at the City Council meeting on Monday, Police Chief RaShall Brackney downplayed the collaboration, saying she did not “have any knowledge” of state troopers driving Charlottesville police vehicles.

Denver’s done Far-right challenger Bob Good wins 5th District GOP nomination

By Ben Hitchcock news@c-ville.com

I

n his two years in the House of Representatives, Denver Riggleman sided with Donald Trump on 94.5 percent of votes, according to FiveThirtyEight. But that wasn’t conservative enough for central Virginia’s Republican loyalists, who ended Riggleman’s run in Congress after just one term.

At a June 13 drive-thru party convention, Riggleman lost the nomination to Bob Good, a far-right Republican who has been a county supervisor and Liberty University athletics administrator. Good decided to run because he felt betrayed by Riggleman’s decision to officiate a gay wedding last year.

The election itself was unorthodox. The party held a nominating convention, rather than a primary. That’s not too uncommon for Congressional races—Democrats in the 5th District selected their 2018 nominee through a convention—but this time, due to coronavirus, the 2,500 delegates cast their votes without ever getting out of their cars. The election was held in Campbell County, Good’s home court, and the challenger took home 58 percent of the vote.

Riggleman has protested just about every step of this unusual nominating process, and at midnight on the day of the convention, he tweeted “ballot stuffing has been reported in multiple counties in the #VA05.

Voter fraud has been a hallmark of this nomination process.”

Good opposes abortion in all cases, supports “securing America’s borders” against immigration, and wants to make English the national language.

Despite winning the nomination, Good might not literally be on the ballot in November. Just before the convention, it was announced that his campaign failed to turn in the required paperwork to appear on

the ballot in the general election. The Virginia Republican Party has asked for an extension, but if it isn’t granted Good will have to run a write-in campaign. (Another Republican running for congress also failed to turn his paperwork in on time— Nick Freitas. You may remember him because he did the same thing last year, and had to run a write-in campaign for the House of Delegates.)

Good’s election is part of a pattern of Republicans turning rightwards in key races around the state. In 2018, they chose conservative firebrand Corey Stewart, who made his name defending Confederate monuments, as their standard-bearer against U.S. Senator Tim Kaine. The only Republican who has so far declared for the 2021 governor’s nomination is state Senator Amanda Chase—earlier this month, Chase said that taking down the Lee statue was “erasing the history of white people,” inspiring a selection of her more established GOP colleagues in the state Senate to compose a joint statement calling her comments “idiotic, inappropriate, and inflammatory.”

These conservative choices come at the end of a decade in which the party has been repeatedly pummeled at the polls. The Virginia GOP has not won a statewide election since 2009, lost three of its seven Congressional seats in 2018, and lost the state House and Senate in 2019, even though the election took place on maps that Republicans had gerrymandered in their favor.

Virginia’s 5th District is also gerrymandered in Republicans’ favor, but in 2018 the election here was as close as it has ever been. The concurrent presidential election will mean high turnout for this year’s Congressional contest, which usually favors Democrats. Virginia Democrats will hold their primary to select Good’s challenger on June 23.

Denver Riggleman, the incumbent Republican congressman for Virginia’s 5th District, lost to Bob Good during a June 13 drive-thru nominating convention.

Many, including the Charlottesville Black Lives Matter chapter, have called on CCS to use the extra $300,000 to hire more teachers and counselors—particularly those of color. It could also fund the recently eliminated elementary Spanish program and other positions that were cut, suggested several parents.

After receiving numerous messages from the community calling for the removal of cops from schools, the Albemarle County School Board discussed its SRO program during its meeting Thursday evening. But ACPS plans to finish revising its memorandum of understanding with the Albemarle County Police Department, and may conduct an independent review of the program before moving forward with a decision, as suggested by the district’s Superintendent Matt Haas.

While the county school board agreed to discuss the issue again during its June 18 meeting, most of its members, including Judy Le and Katrina Callsen, supported removing the district’s five SROs, and funding mental health resources.

“I hear our black brothers and sisters, some of whom have been risking their lives in the streets for weeks to protest the generations of trauma from overpolicing and brutality,” said Le, who represents the Rivanna District. “How can being faced with the embodiment of that trauma every day make for a safe and positive learning environment?”

“When I’ve asked questions about it in our division, I’ve been assured that there are infrequent arrests made in our schools, which is great,” she added. “But it leads me to ask: ‘Why do we have the SROs at all? Why are we paying $265,000 for them each year?’”

@cville_weekly

mistakes and learn from them, instead of being put into the system,” she says. “Security and safety can be accomplished in many ways, but it has to start with people from this community who know our kids and live in the same communities and neighborhoods.”

Leading up to its decision to dump the memorandum of understanding, CCS received hundreds of emails from students, parents, teachers, activists, and other community members calling for the removal of SROs, according to CCS Superintendent Dr. Rosa Atkins. Its equity committee, along with individual school board members, also reached out to many people and organizations to get their thoughts, both positive and negative.

Supporters of SRO programs argue that they keep schools safe, and help build relationships between students and law enforcement, which can prevent crime and acts of violence.

“On several occasions, the school resource officers were enlisted to ensure [my daughter’s] safety,” said Laura Brown, the only person who spoke against CCS’ removal of SROs during Thursday’s meeting. As Brown and the staff at Burnley-Moran Elementary worked to develop a treatment plan for her daughter, who is mixed race and has special needs, “the SROs were nothing but positive with her and provided her with much-needed security and reassurance.”

Others see the programs as a waste of money, among other criticisms. According to the Justice Policy Institute, most situations involving SROs can be handled by school officials. Though SROs have been ushered into nearly half of the nation’s schools to prevent mass shootings, they’ve also been present at many of the schools where shootings have occurred.

Charlottesville City Schools and the Charlottesville Police Department have discontinued the school resource officer program, which means that the $300,000 the schools were paying the police department can now be put toward other ends.

The school district’s total budget is well over $80 million, so $300,000 for cops in schools might not seem like much. But vast portions of those millions are tied up in fixed costs like real estate and building maintenance. The actual, everyday experience of students is determined, in large part, by budget decisions made on the margins.

For example, earlier this year, when the coronavirus’ economic downturn forced the district to tighten its budget by $1.16 million, CCS decided to cut, among other things, the entire elementary school Spanish program. Eliminating Spanish for elementary schoolers saved city schools $500,340.

The school district’s preliminary funding request for the 2020-21 fiscal year, released in January, gives a loose sense of the district’s aspirations, and also how much those aspirations might cost. CCS and the city spent the ensuing months haggling over whether these additions would be possible. This isn’t meant to suggest that the elimination of the SRO program means these positions will be filled, but the numbers below show the scale of the SRO program in comparison to the district’s other unfulfilled needs.—Ben Hitchcock

June 17 – 23, 2020 c-ville.com

n light of the ongoing protests against police brutality and systemic racism, school districts across the country have cut ties with police—including here in Charlottesville.

On June 11, Charlottesville City Schools announced it was discontinuing its memorandum of understanding with the Charlottesville Police Department, ending its current school resource officer program. Instead, the district says it will put the $300,000 allocated for its four SROs toward a new “school safety model.” Albemarle County Public Schools will also reexamine its relationship with police.

The decision was a hot topic during the city’s school board meeting, held later that evening. Many parents, teachers, and other community members hopped on the Zoom call, and all but one voiced their support of the decision to end the memorandum.

“The removal of SROs is an evidencebased decision,” said Christa Bennett, who has two children in the school district.

“There is no evidence that they prevent more violence than they cause, and in some cases, [they] are contributing to a school-to-prison pipeline:” higher rates of suspensions, expulsions, and arrests for students of color (though they do not misbehave more than their white peers).

When her child attended Jackson-Via Elementary, Robin Francis claimed she witnessed this violence firsthand, when an SRO got physical with a small black child unnecessarily on two occasions. As a person of color, the incidents were “terrifying” for Francis to watch, and reinforced her belief that SROs “do not encourage a sense of community—[but] create a sense of fear.”

Putting police in schools has had a “direct effect on [the] educational progress, and mental and physical health” of black students, added Amy Woolard, an attorney at the Legal Aid Justice Center. Studies show police presence causes a drop in test scores, high school graduation rates, and college attendance rates for young African Americans, among other negative consequences.

Over the summer, the school board plans to host several feedback sessions, during which it will get input from the community, and the new program will be implemented by August 19, when the new school year begins.

While it remains unclear what the program will look like, CCS school board member Lashundra Bryson Morsberger hopes it will be supportive, rather than punitive, and thinks a lot more black counselors, social workers, and other support staff should be hired.

“Police in schools only serves to expose black children to the criminal justice system at a time when they should be able to make

While Charlottesville has taken steps towards acknowledging its troubled past by creating Liberation and Freedom Day, the U.S. cannot “fully engage in the truth of our history” until it officially recognizes Juneteeth, she adds. “It should be equally a national holiday as July 4—because it’s the same thing. It’s just how you want to see it.”—with additional reporting by Erin O’Hare

Gathering swarm

By Erika Howsare arts@c-ville.com

W

It’s been a busy spring for local beekeepers like Brooke Savage, who is hoping to prevent swarming by splitting hives before the bees feel overcrowded.

raise their abdomens high in the air to expose the gland. When we have the queen in, all of a sudden there are a lot of bees around the entrance with their abdomens raised.”

It must be a triumphant feeling for a beekeeper when that happens, but the bees aren’t aware that their colony has just been saved from an untimely demise. “A colony requires human intervention to survive,” says Karen Hall. “Effectively, your feral colonies succumb in about 14 months.”

The murder hornets—headline-grabbing, invasive species with the ability to wipe out hives, currently found only in the Pacific Northwest—are the latest potential threat to wild bees, but Meslar says they aren’t a huge worry for local beekeepers.

“There are a number of simple methods we can implement to keep hives safe. The most common is a cage that sits at the exit.

The holes are big enough so that bees can

come and go, but it prevents the hornets from getting access into the hive.”

A more serious problem is the Varroa mite, a parasite that feeds on adult bees and larvae, making them vulnerable to certain viral diseases. Then there’s the issue of pesticides. Whether sprayed on a large scale over commercial orchards, or spritzed by homeowners onto one dandelion at a time, they can be carried back to hives by industrious bees.

The upshot is that people and honeybees need each other. They pollinate our food crops, and we safeguard their colonies—in an intricate dance, all happening amidst the unpredictability of climate change. “From year to year right now, the intensity of the differences is much more marked than it was 10 years ago,” says Meslar. “None of the years are middle of the road; everything is sort of extreme.”

How do beginning players stay motivated?

The best way to stay motivated as a beginning guitar student is to learn songs and styles that inspire you, and focus on taking one small step forward at a time. It’s also important to remember that it takes a little time. If you have trouble playing a new song or technique the first 20 or 40 times, it doesn’t mean you suck.

Most new skills on the guitar require a lot of repetition, so keep going even if it doesn’t feel natural at first.

The range of guitarist Miles Pearce’s talent is as breathtaking as his euphoric playing. He traverses the fretboard through classical, jazz, folk, Hindustani classical, flamenco, Brazilian samba, Argentine tango, South Indian Karnatic vocal, and West African rhythms—and if that’s not enough, he also lists experimental music on his bio. Pearce teaches privately and online, and he performs frequently on local stages. As wineries and patios have reopened, his calendar is filling up with gigs at idyllic outdoor settings, including a Father’s Day set of Spanish music at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards.

hile we humans have been preoccupied this spring, with pandemic worries and urgent national conversations, the natural world has seen other dramas unfold that most of us haven’t even noticed. Unless you’re a beekeeper, you wouldn’t know that this has been a very odd spring for honeybees.

Carrie Meslar is the managing director of the Elysium Honey Company, and she says that this year, the company’s beekeepers have reported an uptick in the number of swarms—big groups of bees leaving a hive to seek out a new home base. “They’ve never seen anything like this,” says Meslar.

A swarm happens when bees feel overcrowded in their hive. The queen leaves, taking thousands of the workers with her, and they gather in a bristly bunch on a tree or a fence post. To learn about what happens next is to gain some serious respect for the complexity and intelligence of these tiny and intensely social creatures.

“They send out scouts,” Meslar explains.

“These bees go out and look for a good location for the hive.” Upon returning, the scouts communicate through dances about what they’ve found, and then—(get this!)—“a voting process takes place amongst the bees. When they reach an agreement, tens of thousands of bees leave to go and settle in a new place.”

It’s astounding, and on its own, it’s a “natural and good process,” says Meslar. “It means the colony is robust and healthy.” For beekeepers, say Karen and Ken Hall (both officers with the Central Virginia Beekeeping Associa-

tion), swarming is “largely a management issue”—something to be avoided with proper attention to one’s hives.

“You want to mitigate it because you could lose half of your bees,” says Meslar.

The departing swarm not only represents a loss of workforce; it actually takes away quite a bit of honey, transported inside the bees themselves. So, ideally, beekeepers hope to prevent swarming by splitting hives before the bees get crowded.

Ken Hall says there’s no hard data on whether this really has been a big year for swarming, but it’s plausible because of the weather patterns we experienced this spring.

Warm temperatures in the first three months of 2020 meant some things bloomed early.

“The red maple bloom was 12 days earlier than last year,” he says. But then the weather cooled and later blooms, like tulip poplar and black locust—both major food sources for bees—slowed down. In the gap between those two events, bees were very busy reproducing and gathering pollen and nectar, and hives may have gotten crowded, like a family house that’s suddenly too full of kids and all their stuff.

If bees do swarm, keepers try to capture them by gently brushing the bees into a box.

That might sound death-defying, but Karen Hall says bees in a swarm pose very little danger to people. “A swarm has no colony and nothing to protect, so they are really very docile,” she says. Euphoric, even, because they’re full of honey.

The key to the operation is to capture the queen. “We watch the bees,” says Ken Hall, “and as soon as we have the queen in the box we can start to tell she’s there.

They produce a pheromone as a homing scent, and the bees have to

P

ete Davidson is the neighborhood kid everyone hopes will get his act together, except that neighborhood is national TV, and “everyone” is literally everyone. His appeal reminds us of the lovable bullshitter in our family who’s always ready with a joke but can’t keep a job—only Davidson’s comedy is full of hard truths instead of bullshit, and the man never stops working.

The King of Staten Island is not Davidson’s first film, but it is the most definitive statement of him as a comedic actor outside of standup. It follows his own life so closely that it can hardly be called semi-autobiographical. Instead, think of it as a glimpse into an alternate reality where Davidson never found success in comedy.

His character Scott still has all of the intelligence, humor, mental illness, and childhood trauma as the actor portraying him, but where Davidson honed his craft, Scott’s is questionable. The character’s dream of a tattoo restaurant is not only a dubious idea, he doesn’t even have enough focus to become a tattooist’s apprentice. Davidson found an outlet, Scott never did.

Directed by Judd Apatow from a script

by Davidson, Apatow, and “Saturday Night Live” writer Dave Sirus, The King of Staten Island is never quite as funny as it should be.

It’s not as deep as it wants to be, yet for all of its 136 minutes, you can’t stop watching.

Scott lives at home with his mother Margie (Marisa Tomei) and sister Claire (Maude Apatow). His father was a firefighter who died on the job when Scott was 7.

Now in his mid-20s, he’s constantly high on drugs of varying intensity with his friends.

He’s a lot to handle but utterly charming, and sympathies run deep for the hardship he’s faced; so much so that no one has the heart to tell him what a weird idea a tattoo restaurant is.

When Claire graduates high school, Margie’s life is at a standstill, and she agrees to a date for the first time in years. Ray (Bill Burr) is also a fireman, and the two met when Scott attempted to tattoo Ray’s young son. Margie, with Ray’s support, insists that

Any flaws in The King of Staten Island are easily forgiven for its sincerity, it’s good intentions, its excellent supporting cast, and the willingness of its star and director to expand their creative boundaries.

Diagnostic tests for your pets at home

By Mike Fietz, DVM living@c-ville.com

W

hile many diagnostic tests require that a patient be physically present, it is not uncommon for a veterinarian to ask pet owners to collect samples like urine or stool at home.

While the request seems simple enough, we often forget that people don’t necessarily know how to go about it or what we really do with the sample once we have it.

Urine is essentially finely filtered blood, making it informative about a variety of medical problems. It should be clean and sterile in a normal animal. Blood cells and bacteria might alert us to a lower urinary tract infection. Microscopic crystals could raise suspicion of larger bladder stones. Sugar makes us worry about diabetes. Poorly concentrated urine could suggest kidney disease or hormonal disorders. But these results can easily be thrown off by sample contamination, making proper collection important.

Urine should always be collected in a clean, dry container and promptly sealed.

Usually that means some kind of glass or plastic food container, but if the test is planned in advance, your vet may be able to provide a sterile cup so you don’t have to ruin your kitchen supplies. More is always better, but, in most cases, a tablespoon or so should be enough to run the test. Remember, the longer it sits, the more it can affect the results. Cells break down, bacteria multiply, and crystals can form. Urine should be submitted as soon as possible after collection and refrigerated if it will be more than a few hours.

Actually collecting the sample can be tricky.

Because urine is so sensitive to contamination, it generally shouldn’t be sucked or squeegeed off the floor, nor can it be sopped up with a towel and wrung out. And yellow snow is not going to work. It needs to be a clean catch.

If you have a male dog that lifts his leg, it may be simple enough to intercept the stream with the container. Female dogs often

squat low enough that your container may not even fit in the limited ground clearance, in which case it may be better to use the container’s lid. But if all else fails, you can always have veterinary staff collect it for you.

We’ve all gotten pretty good at it, but make sure your dog doesn’t pee on the way in.

Cats are another story entirely, since they pee when and where they want. You might be able to get them to urinate in an empty litter box—they even sell non-absorbent plastic litter pellets for this purpose—but the box needs to be extremely clean. Because it is so difficult, most cat urine is ultimately collected at the vet, often by obtaining it directly from the bladder with a needle. I promise it’s not as bad as it sounds.

That brings us to poop. A stool sample is likely to be recommended in any pet with gastrointestinal symptoms, like diarrhea or vomiting, and is primarily intended to screen for parasites. In simplest terms, this is done by mixing the stool up with sugar water and seeing if any parasite eggs float to the top, a process which smells as great as it sounds.

Happily, stool samples are much more forgiving and can be used in almost any condition. Stool is not inherently clean or sterile. It contains so much extra junk that contamination isn’t a huge problem. If some grass or a bit of cat litter is mixed up in the sample, it won’t matter. But some parasites are less resilient than others, and samples should still be reasonably clean and fresh.

Poop can be submitted in pretty much any container—any old plastic bag will do fine. While small samples can be run, larger samples give us a better shot at finding something. If it’s really loose you might need to work a bit to scoop it up. I know it’s gross, but just think about what we have to do with it later.

another side of Apatow, as a director in control of his film. There is much more attention paid to how a scene is filmed, blocked, and edited to reflect shifting attitudes and power dynamics. When Margie tells Scott about her new boyfriend and his profession, Scott instantly stands up while she remains seated, and the handheld camera captures the chaos of the moment. He is attempting to dominate the room and will prevent her from settling into her decision if it means getting his way. Later, after he’s been kicked out, he visits in an attempt to convey that he’s grown up and should be allowed back in. Margie, already day drunk and having a blast with her friend, is unfazed, calmly walking him to the door with a sympathetic tone before locking him out. In this scene, the camera and blocking is sympathetic to her, and the motion lulls us into believing she’ll have a dialogue with him, enhancing the surprise.

Any flaws in The King of Staten Island are easily forgiven for its sincerity, its good intentions, its excellent supporting cast, and the willingness of its star and director to expand their creative boundaries. Davidson portrays a version of himself, but he is not phoning it in;, he builds an interesting dynamic with his co-stars rather than dominating the scenes. Whether it’s worth more than two hours will be up to the viewer, but despite its appearances, it is not more of the same from either Davidson or Apatow.

Doo it right

FILE PHOTO

Scott get a job and begin looking for his own apartment. In Scott’s heart, he is aware of his problems and wants the best for his mom, but in action, he rejects the upheaval and blames Ray for sabotaging his life. To Scott, the fact that Ray is a firefighter is even more reason to resent him as an interloper who will only subject Margie to the same pain she felt all those years ago.

In some ways, The King of Staten Island is classic Apatow: A famous or up-and-coming comedian with something to prove in a story that balances lowbrow gags with surprising maturity. He turned Steve Carell and Seth Rogen into leading men with The 40-YearOld-Virgin and Knocked Up, and showed us a new side of Adam Sandler in Funny People.

Though Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and the Knocked Up spin-off This Is 40 didn’t reach the same heights as Apatow’s other work, he has always remained too invested in his characters to let his stories succumb to pat, unearned morals. While The King of Staten Island’s ending is less satisfying than it might have been, Apatow comes by it honestly.

The film stands apart from other Apatow projects in a few notable ways. The director has often joked that the “written by” credit on his films is questionable, given the amount of improvisation on his sets, and the filmmaking reflects this, with stationary cameras and the editing based mostly around who is speaking and not what is happening.

LIVINGFREE FREEWILL WILLASTROLOGY ASTROLOGY CULTURE

By Rob Brezsny

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “To hell with pleasure that’s haunted by fear,” wrote Cancerian author Jean de La Fontaine. I’ll make that one of my prayers for you in the coming weeks. It’s a realistic goal you can achieve and install as a permanent improvement in your life. While you’re at it, work on the following prayers, as well: 1. To hell with bliss that’s haunted by guilt. 2. To hell with joy that’s haunted by worry. 3. To hell with breakthroughs that are haunted by debts to the past. 4. To hell with uplifts that are haunted by other people’s pessimism.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Experiment #1: As you take a walk in nature, sing your five favorite songs from beginning to end, allowing yourself to fully feel all the emotions those tunes arouse in you. Experiment #2: Before you go to sleep on each of the next 11 nights, ask your dreams to bring you stories like those told by the legendary Scheherazade, whose tales were so beautiful and engaging that they healed and improved the lives of all those who heard them. Experiment #3: Gaze into the mirror and make three promises about the gratifying future you will create for yourself during the next 12 months.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Vincent van Gogh’s painting “The Starry Night” is one of the world’s most treasured works of art. It has had a prominent place in New York’s Museum of Modern Art since 1941. If it ever came up for sale it would probably fetch over $100 million.

But soon after he created this great masterpiece, van Gogh himself called it a “failure.”

He felt the stars he’d made were too big and abstract. I wonder if you’re engaging in a comparable underestimation of your own. Are there elements of your life that are actually pretty good, but you’re not giving them the credit and appreciation they deserve? Now’s a good time to reconsider and re-evaluate.

Libra

Gemini (May 21-June 20): A finished person is a boring person,” writes author Anna Quindlen. I agree!

Luckily, you are quite unfinished, and thus not at all boring—especially these days. More than ever before, you seem willing to treat yourself as an art project that’s worthy of your creative ingenuity—as a work-in-progress that’s open to new influences and fresh teachings. That’s why I say your unfinishedness is a sign of good health and vitality. It’s delightful and inspiring.

You’re willing to acknowledge that you’ve got a lot to learn and more to grow. In fact, you celebrate that fact; you exult in it; you regard it as a key part of your ever-evolving identity. tially from redirecting your fine intelligence in more rewarding directions. To empower your efforts, study these inspirational quotes: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”—philosopher Simone Weil. “Attention is the natural prayer of the soul.”—philosopher Nicolas Malebranche.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Scorpio poet Marianne Moore’s poem “O To Be a Dragon,” begins with the fantasy, “If I, like Solomon, could have my wish . . .” What comes next? Does Moore declare her desire to be the best poet ever? To be friends with smart, interesting, creative people? To be admired and gossiped about for wearing a tricorn hat and black cape as she walked around Greenwich Village near her home? Nope. None of the above. Her wish: “O to be a dragon, a symbol of the power of Heaven—of silk-worm size or immense; at times invisible. Felicitous phenomenon!” In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to be inspired by Moore in the coming weeks. Make extravagant wishes for lavish and amusing powers, blessings, and fantastic possibilities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Poems, like dreams, are a sort of royal road to the unconscious,” writes author Erica Jong. “They tell you what your secret self cannot express.” I invite you to expand that formula so it’s exactly suitable for you in the coming weeks. My sense is that you are being called to travel the royal road to your unconscious mind so as to discover what your secret self has been unable or unwilling to express. Poems and dreams might do the trick for you, but so might other activities. For example: sexual encounters between you and a person you respect and love; or an intense night of lis-

tening to music that cracks open the portal to the royal road. Any others? What will work best for you?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.”

Capricorn hero Martin Luther King, Jr. said that, and now I’m conveying it to you. In my astrological opinion, his formula is a strategy that will lead you to success in the coming weeks. It’ll empower you to remain fully open and receptive to the fresh opportunities flowing your way, while at the same time you’ll remain properly skeptical about certain flimflams and delusions that may superficially resemble those fresh opportunities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If it makes you nervous— you’re doing it right,” says the daring musician and actor Donald Glover. Personally, I don’t think that’s true in all situations. I’ve found that on some occasions, my nervousness stems from not being fully authentic or being less than completely honest. But I do think Glover’s formula fully applies to your efforts in the coming weeks, Aquarius.

I hope you will try new things that will be important to your future, and/or work to master crucial skills you have not yet mastered. And if you’re nervous as you carry out those heroic feats, I believe it means you’re doing them right.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean author Patricia Hampl understands a lot about the epic tasks of trying to know oneself and be oneself. She has written two memoirs, and some of her other writing draws from her personal experiences, as well. And yet she confesses, “May-

be being oneself is always an acquired taste.”

She suggest that it’s often easier to be someone you’re not; to adopt the ways of other people as your own; to imitate what you admire rather than doing the hard work of finding out the truth about yourself. That’s the bad news, Pisces. The good news is that this year has been and will continue to be a very favorable time to ripen into the acquired taste of being yourself. Take advantage of this ripening opportunity in the coming weeks!

Aries (March 21-April 19): My Aries friend Lavinia told me, “The fight I’m enjoying most lately is my fight to resist the compulsion to fight.”

I invite you to consider adopting that attitude for the foreseeable future. Now and then, you Rams do seem to thrive on conflict, or at least use it to achieve worthy deeds—but the coming weeks will not be one of those times. I think you’re due for a phase of sweet harmony. The more you cultivate unity and peace and consensus, the healthier you’ll be. Do you dare act like a truce-maker, an agreementbroker, and a connoisseur of rapport?

Taurus (April 20-May 20): “The answers you get depend upon the questions you ask,” wrote physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn.

That’s always true, of course, but it’s especially true for you right now. I recommend that you devote substantial amounts of your earthy intelligence to the task of formulating the three most important questions for you to hold at the forefront of your awareness during the rest of 2020. If you do, I suspect you will ultimately receive answers that are useful, interesting, and transformative.

Seeking editor We’re looking for a magazine editor who can manage freelance writers, juggle multiple publications, and generate tons of ideas. See the full job listing at c-ville.com/ work-at-c-ville.

What to do?

Since many of us are feeling nostalgic these days for summers past, we decided to take a stroll down Memory Lane in the latest issue of Abode, where you’ll find 15 of the coolest hot spots from the last 6 years. We revisit some of our favorite pools, porches, and gardens; the best places to extend living spaces and connect with the great outdoors.

Among them are a sunny swimming site on an antebellum property; a train-car home designed to allow as much outside time as possible; and a contemporary garden that brings many layers of history together. On stands now!

What pandemic-related changes have you made that you’ll continue once you’re out of the house?

Eating better and cooking meals at home the majority of the time.

SHANNON CRUSE RANSON/FACEBOOK

I will continue to check on my more vulnerable friends, especially when I haven’t heard from them in a while. And I will pick up extra groceries for folks who can’t get out as often as I am able to. @CVILLE_COOKIE/INSTAGRAM

Don’t buy junk I don’t need. @INACUBALADO/TWITTER

I will never shake hands again.

TERRI ANNE DI CINTIO/FACEBOOK

I’m still unemployed, so I’m not sure there will be much “out of the house,” even with Phase 2. If out of the house, I will continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing, in addition to washing my hands often!

I’ll continue not visiting my relatives. Joking! I miss my kids and my siblings.

@BATULRIZVIDESIGN/INSTAGRAM

ANNE LOEBS/FACEBOOK

@AER8M/INSTAGRAM

Grocery delivery.

Lots of hand sanitizer use and washing my hands.

I will continue to look for a reliable, good local news source.

JENNIE LAFFERTY MORE/FACEBOOK

Avoiding human contact as much as possible. @EINALEM692/TWITTER

I hate my hands being pawed/crushed by other people.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

(before I was in the industry) when my parents first considered doing a reverse mortgage themselves. My Mom asked me to help her do some research and that’s what started me on my path of wanting to eventually be the expert on the subject.

JUNE 17 - JUNE 23, 2020 ISSUE 2924

I first became a believer in reverse mortgages almost 20 years ago...

29

It’s amazing to me today that I still hear the same false rumors from people sometimes that I heard two decades ago. The mortgage company does not take title to your home and yes the heirs still inherit the home upon the borrower’s passing. Those are the two most misunderstood topics. And yes the money you receive is not income so it is not taxed as some people think. Also, Medicare and Social Security are not effected by the proceeds that you receive from a reverse mortgage. And yes it’s true that you are not required to ever make a payment for as long as you live in the home.

I am very patient when I speak to clients and take my time explaining everything face to face with absolutely no pressure to move forward because I remember how much my parents appreciated it when the person that they worked with showed them the same respect.

I have never experienced the Sunday night blues of knowing that you are going back to work the next day as some people talk about. My job is a career that I never plan on retiring from because I genuinely enjoy working with my clients and seeing how their lives are benefitting from eliminating debt and by opening up a line of credit that can be used to help them for the rest of their lives.

Every client’s story is a little bit different but they are all hoping to achieve a better life and I enjoy being a small part in that story.

Reverse Mortgages for Senior Citizens Contact John for a no pressure meeting.

A Reverse Mortgage can significantly increase your quality of life in retirement years by eliminating debt and providing funds to keep up with the cost of living.

S

omething about living on the water is good for the soul. We’re lucky in Central Virginia to have lots of options. A tour of the area from north to south and east to west showcases the variety of choices available: hot rental communities on Lake Anna, sleepy little Blue Ridge Shores on Lake Louisa, the Lake Monticello lifestyle, James River frontage, and rural Smith Mountain Lake.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Lake Anna Lake Anna’s 13,000 acres makes it the third largest in Virginia. Only 9,600 of those acres are accessible to the public with the rest owned by Dominion Power Company’s North Anna Nuclear Power Station. North Anna also creates the cold and warm sides of the lake. Processing two million gallons of water per minute when fully operational, the power station takes water from the cool side and discharges it into the warm side, which can make the latter as much as 14 degrees warmer. The water cools some as it flows to the southernmost tip of the lake.

Thermodynamics may not be your thing, but a 14-degree difference can be

a big deal. In July and August, that much extra warmth may be a tad too much to enjoy. On the other hand, it extends the early spring and late fall recreational seasons.

So what’s ideal? A little of both! Get to the cold side for the hottest months and the warm side for the rest of the year.

On the warm side are mostly privately owned homes with no public marina access. The cold/public side is considerably larger and has marinas, restaurants, boat launches, and Lake Anna State Park.

REALTOR® Judi Marshall Croson, with 1st Dominion Realty Inc., says “Lake Anna attracts a lot of interest from buyers looking for a second home or who want to enjoy a more rural full-time waterfront life.

Its central location between Richmond, DC, and Charlottesville makes this area appealing. It’s a doable commute to all of those locations, and people often move here in the last few years of their working life and rent it until they can move here full time or commute until they retire.”

Buyers have plenty of options. Explore a lot with a boat slip or find an existing home to match all budgets and styles, from small and affordable to large and luxurious.

Ashley Walton Hoffman, REALTOR® with Lake Anna Island Realty, agrees.

“At Lake Anna, the market for waterfront homes is booming.” COVID-19 resulted in a temporary pause in many transactions, but interest is starting to pick up again. A low inventory created a sellers’ market prior to the pandemic.

As we emerge, we may continue to see a sellers’ market. Hoffman says, “Our seller clients are getting top dollar for their homes. Often, the home sells for more than the asking price. To help increase our inventory, we are advising clients that now is the time to sell if they are thinking about it.

“Many of our buyers have primary residences elsewhere and purchase waterfront homes at Lake Anna as a vacation or investment home. This is a popular vacation destination with homes fetching $6,000 or more per week as a rental.

Other buyers are finding their dream homes here.”

this community with just five miles of shoreline offers private lake living where residents enjoy a small clubhouse, three beaches, picnic area, marina, and walking trails.

Not only is Lake Louisa only one third the size of Lake Anna, it is also a much slower, peaceful escape from modern society. Croson says, “The rural feel appeals to a large group of people. This is not the setting for short-term rentals like you see at Lake Anna. Generally, people either live at Blue Ridge Shores year-round, or escape here for the weekend. Many of these small lakefront homes have been in the family for generations.”

“Adding to the appeal of Louisa County living, both in Blue Ridge Shores and on the Louisa County side of Lake Anna, are slightly lower taxes due to the presence of the nuclear power plant,” says Croson. “And the Louisa County public schools are excellent.”

Blue Ridge Shores

Lake Monticello is a private waterfront community in Fluvanna County. Only slightly larger than Lake Louisa, its 350 acres has 22.5 miles of shoreline and lots of amenities. The five beaches, golf course, marina, club house, pool, tennis

Lake Anna’s smaller cousin, Lake Louisa, is home to the private gated community of Blue Ridge Shores. It began in the 1960s as a resort community that didn’t quite make it to resort status. But

Smith Mountain Lake Another waterfront destination to explore is Smith Mountain Lake, 20 miles southeast of Roanoke. As the second largest freshwater lake in Virginia, it has more than 500 miles of shoreline and almost every option to get just the right spot on the water.

All the typical water and boating activities are available to residents. A 40-mile navigable stretch from tip to tip hosts every kind of water vessel from wake boards and stand-up paddle boards, to speed boats and pontoons. Most of the sailboat marinas are at the south end of the lake. Fishing is popular throughout with year-round tournaments.

Deb Baran, Associate Broker with RE/ MAX Lakefront Realty, Inc., loves Smith Mountain Lake and has lived there for 30 years. She can give you the inside scoop on what’s happening on the water at any given time. “In general, the water is very calm Monday through Wednesday.

Activity on the lake picks up around Thursday with visitors coming in for a long weekend. And of course, the first two weeks of July are busy every day. But even kayakers and stand up paddle board-

Meandering across Virginia from the Appalachian Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, the 340-mile James River is a growing attraction for water lovers. Lots and existing homes along the middle section attract fishermen, kayakers and other boaters, and anyone who enjoys the sound and beauty of running water.

Jeanne Morcom, Supervising Broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Dawson Ford Garbee & Co., REALTORS® says “James River demand is high, and the supply is very low. River

views without access are also highly sought after, making Amherst County and downtown Lynchburg highly desirable.” Amherst County has approximately 50 miles of James River frontage along its southern and eastern borders.

An eight-lot plat in Buckingham County near Scottsville offers the best of both worlds. Easy access to restaurants, shops and a brewery in Scottsville are balanced with the privacy of fully wooded, elevated and partially cleared home sites. More than half of the 12to 20-acre riverfront lots overlooking the James River towards the Blue Ridge Mountains are sold.

courts, and sports fields support many more activities for full time residents with families that are looking for something closer to a club kind of lifestyle.

Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker/Owner of Monticello Country Realtors, reports that the waterfront at Lake Monticello consists mostly of full-time residents.

But Wilson knows that many started by buying a second home. “Quite a few buyers become acquainted with Lake Monticello by visiting friends or family and fall in love with the lake. They end up buying a second home here to use on weekends. Eventually it gets harder to leave and some decide to retire early or work remotely using our high-speed internet so they can stay.”

Compared to other places, “prices and tax rates at Lake Monticello are low, bringing many buyers here for value and investments.” Vacation rentals are not permitted but long-term rentals are.

With interest rates so low, now is a great time to talk to a REALTOR® specializing in lake properties.

“Our motto is ‘Vacation year-round at Lake Monticello.’ As a homeowner of 23 years, I can personally say the lake is a great stress reliever.” Just what we all could use right about now.

KNOWLEDGE EXPERIENCE CUSTOMER SERVICE Here’s what Ginger’s clients are saying about her: “We can not thank Ginger enough for all she has done for us, both professionally, and as a friend. I’m sure there are lots of good realtors out there, but if Ginger is your standard (as in quality standard) then most likely you will not find another realtor that matches up or even comes close.”

- Mike and Lisa S. “Ginger is the epitome of professionalism with her focus always being on fulfilling the needs of her customer. Her listening skills are remarkable, as she not only listens to what is being said but what is not being said. She makes sure you are finished with your “wish” list before asking highly pertinent questions to ensure she understands what you want” - Wendy M.

Ginger is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. She was always professional and wonderfully friendly and candid. Ginger deserves a world full of accolades!

ers can find calm water if they time it right. Tritoons and Hurricane deck boats are becoming more popular. The bigger decks and engines offer more stability.

We enjoy taking our deck boat out even in the winter.”

Baran says sales were strong in 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. “Now with the pandemic, we are going through a lot of uncertainty. But our experience during crises, is that places like Smith Mountain Lake become safe spots for people to ride out the storm. People who normally travel are rethinking the whole vacation concept.

A haven a few hours from home becomes extremely attractive.”

Buyers that want to be close to shops, restaurants and more developed areas, like Westlake Corner, congregate in Franklin County on the north and west side of the lake. From there, Roanoke is just a 30-minute drive.

Year-round residents at Smith Mountain Lake account for about 30 percent of the population. The rest are investors and owners that rent their home for much of the year. Baran says, “There are a significant number of people who live here from April to Thanksgiving, and then head south for the winter months.

Many head just far enough to take the chill out of the air and to meet the investment tax requirements to be out of the home for 6 months and 1 day.”

Two and a half hours north of Raleigh and four hours from D.C., Smith Mountain Lake is less fancy resort and more small-town atmosphere. As is true with most great vacation spots, many buyers start out renting a vacation home here and end up buying.

Where’s the Market Headed?

The market for waterfront properties is trending up, despite the blip due to COVID-19. If the water is close enough for easy access and a beautiful view, but distant enough to minimize risk of water and storm damage, appreciation is a good bet.

Some buyers can afford a waterfront home only by subsidizing their purchase with short-term rental income. Airbnb and other self-rental platforms opened owning a home on the water to more people. Because waterfront homes have stronger rental potential and can command higher rates, even a partial year of rental income can have a significant impact on the cost of ownership.

At the first inkling a waterfront home is a possibility, engage an expert. A REALTOR® specializing in waterfront homes knows what to ask so that your dream home doesn’t turn into a nightmare. A good agent can help you find exactly the kind of lot you want and research how the shoreline might move in the future. Special insurance provisions may be required, so before committing, understand all potential costs.

Then enjoy your search in finding just the right waterfront home. As work from home opportunities increase, more people can rethink where they live. A waterfront property may suddenly become possible. And Central Virginia is the perfect place to realize that dream.
