THIS WEEK

Hello, Charlottesville! Thank you for reading C-VILLE Weekly. History looms over us all, whether told faithfully or not. This is especially true in Virginia, where the legacy of the Confederacy casts a long shadow—quite literally, until the statues came down. But while our nation’s history is full of large hulking presences that are difficult to contend with, there are many wrongs wrought on the local level that aren’t always righted, either. This year, Charlottesville wanted to address at least one.

IN BRIEF

Sweepy McSweepface

Voting has opened in the contest to name Albemarle County’s first street sweeper. Area residents have until 5pm on August 7 to rank the top 10 names submitted: Bruce Streetclean, Beeper the Sweeper, The Clean Machine, Lightning McClean, Sweeping Beauty, Lil Bo Sweep, Sweepzilla, Dirt Vader, Emily Broomte, and Sergeant Sweeper. While the county is still waiting for the machine it ordered to arrive, a rented sweeper has collected 100 tons of trash and debris over the course of two months.

Departmental leak

On July 17, a major water leak led to the closure of Charlottesville City Hall. According to city officials, the leak was the result of broken plumbing on the second floor, and caused substantial damage to the building. While a majority of city staff reported to work, Monday night’s City Council Meeting was moved to CitySpace. At press time, no further details about the extent of the damage or the anticipated timeline for repairs had been released.

Trouble upstream

Citizen’s group No Floodplain Buildings has created a website detailing its opposition to proposed development along the Rivanna River off of East High Street. Announced in a press release on July 4, the website details Seven Development’s proposed plans for 245 multifamily housing units, and highlights the potential impacts of construction in the floodplain. While the city has rejected all four iterations of the development plans, No Floodplain Buildings emphasized how the proposal is inconsistent with the city’s Comprehensive Plan, will impact local ecosystems, and could lead to flooding.

DIVING IN

Local swimming star Thomas Heilman has qualified for the FINA World Aquatic Championships in Fukuoka, Japan. The 16-yearold qualified for the competition earlier this summer at the Phillips 66 National Championships in Indianapolis, where he also broke two national age group records, including one set by Olympian Michael Phelps.

Since stepping (er, swimming) onto the competitive scene, Heilman has made quite a splash at the local, national, and international levels.

Locally, Heilman led the Western Albemarle High School boys swimming and diving team to two consecutive VHSL Class 4 state championships. Training with Cavalier Aquatics at the Brooks Family YMCA, he’s gone to numerous national competitions alongside his teammates. The twotime central Virginia boys swimmer of the year has broken 25 national age-group records since 2021, and has medaled six times at the Jr. Pan Pacific Championships.

Diving into action at national championships this year, Heilman placed second in both the 200- and 100-meter butterfly races. While he didn’t get the gold, his times of 1:54.54 and 51.19 still broke both national age-group records. The previous records for the 200m and 100m butterfly were held by Phelps and Heilman respectively.

Heilman is the first male American swimmer 16 or younger to qualify for the world championships since Phelps in 2001. The teen will be joined in Japan by four

Stepping up

Sam Sanders sworn in as Charlottesville’s new city manager

By Catie Ratliff reporter@c-ville.com

New Charlottesville City Manager Sam Sanders was sworn in at the July 17 City Council meeting. Sanders, whose first day on the job is August 1, has served as the deputy city manager of operations since July 2021, and succeeds interim city manager Michael Rogers.

“When we launched the search for our next city manager, we had some characteristics that we all agreed on,” Mayor Lloyd Snook said at the July 12 press conference announcing Sanders’ selection. “We wanted someone with experience, with solid judgment, an innovative and problem solving spirit, a strong commitment to making government help people who need help, a servant’s heart, a sense of humor, and the ability to walk on water was seen as a plus.”

Addressing the crowd at the press conference, Sanders shared his vision for the city and his optimism about Charlottesville’s future. “Charlottesville has a rich and complicated history, and I acknowledge that,” Sanders said. “Our little city is on the world map, and I am encouraged that it is not simply because of the events of 2017. What I want to see is us achieve an evolution from that series of events, to reclaim our narrative, and one that will inspire us and other communities will desire.”

As city manager, Sanders will oversee the Office of Budget and Performance Management, the Office of Communications, the Office of Economic Development, the Office of Housing and Redevelopment, and the Office of Human Rights for Charlottesville. One of his first tasks will be to fill his previous role as deputy city manager of operations. Sanders will work closely with Rogers during a two-week transition period to ensure the change goes as smoothly as possible.

Beyond appointing his replacement, Sanders plans to address major issues including housing, gun violence, and the income divide. While he believes that Charlottesville is “punching above its weight class” on many things, Sanders acknowledged that there is still work to be done. “We absolutely do have two life experiences here in Charlottesville, and we can do what we need to do to bridge that divide.”

Following Sanders’ remarks at the press conference, all five city counselors expressed enthusiasm about the new city manager. “I can stand here and honestly say I have never felt more optimistic about the future of city government,” said Michael Payne.

On July 17, Sanders told C-VILLE that “Council is working on its Strategic Plan, so we have some work to do in support of concluding that progress and transitioning into an implementation phase. Also, we have our ongoing work with implementing the Compensation and Class Study. There is a new compensation policy and pay structure that we will be presenting to staff and council over the next few weeks. This will be a multi-step process, so we hope to produce a timeline on this project as well. Lastly, we have begun collective bargaining negotiations, so the work with the three bargaining units is also a priority at this time.”

As he settles into his new role, Sanders will work with City Council and staff to organize his long to-do list.

“Traditional local government focuses on service delivery, financial operations, and business climate,” says Sanders, addressing the different needs of Charlottesville residents. “All of that is important, critically

important. But it is imperative that we concern ourselves with the conditions of people’s lives. If they cannot make ends meet, we can close those gaps.”

Sanders says the city has begun working on several key initiatives. “We are already doing things like housing production, tax relief, and climate action. We have a solid list of things that have moved from ideas to action, so we have to continue to keep those things moving forward and evaluating the results achieved.”

Regarding future areas of focus, Sanders’ work “will also include closing gaps, such as impacting the unhoused, assisting more families on the edge of financial devastation, and engaging residents in matters of justice around policing, climate, and culture.”

For those interested in meeting Sanders, the city will host a town hall on Thursday, July 20, from 5 to 7pm at Carver Recreation Center. It will also be available as a livestream. To submit a question for the town hall, email clerk@charlottesville.gov.

“Our little city is on the world map, and I am encouraged that it is not simply because of the events of 2017.” SAM SANDERS, NEW CITY MANAGER

Sam Sanders, who officially starts work as Charlottesville’s new city manager on August 1, says he’s optimistic about the city’s future.

International Rescue Committee program to get more farmland

By Nicole Milanovic

The steering committee for the International Rescue Committee’s New Roots program will meet with Charlottesville City Council in August to get approval for new farmland.

New Roots’ mission is to support refugee food security, and aid refugees’ transition to the community through gardening education, local food access, and small-scale farming. Its aim is to preserve and develop urban agricultural land that supports immigrants and refugee communities.

Cecilia Lapp Stoltzfus, the manager of food and agriculture programs at New Roots, works closely with farming clients and fellow colleagues to steward land for urban agriculture in the area. Charlottesville’s program manages five community garden sites and serves upwards of 70 participants alongside their families each year.

“It’s been a long road of finding available land in the city and county that is both suitable for agriculture and accessible—either within walking distance, public transit, or otherwise—to refugees who live in the community,” says Lapp Stoltzfus.

Charlottesville’s New Roots is one of a dozen similar IRC programs across the country that share the same mission.

Located on Old Lynchburg Road, New Roots Farm has been leased by the IRC for nine years, and it continues to be its largest site, spanning eight acres. Other locations are the Homewood Demonstration & Training Farm, the 5th Street Community Garden, 4th Street Garden, and The Haven Garden near downtown.

According to Lapp Stoltzfus, many Congolese, Bhutanese, and Afghan refugee families have found New Roots Farm to be a meaningful place.

For many immigrant farmers, growing traditional crops is a powerful driver for participating in agriculture. Ranging from vegetables to specialty greens, some of the crops grown are eggplant, maize or field corn, amaranth, bean leaves, pumpkin leaves, and spider flower, which are difficult to come by otherwise.

Since emigrating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in January 2018, David Bahambazi has worked as a New Roots farmer and a member of the steering committee. Before joining the program, he

could not find all the foods commonly used in Africa, primarily vegetables.

“New Roots is a place where I can enjoy being outside with nature and it helps me overcome my stress,” says Bahambazi. “Since farming here, I have been saving a minimum of $500 on veggies every year,”

New Roots continues to build infra structure, and is working on improving growing methods for specialty crops not typically grown in Virginia’s climate. Lapp Stoltzfus says the organization is trying to build the sustainability and stability of this activity as a cultural and food re source for the community.

Dustin Hicks, an AmeriCorps service member serving with the IRC and New Roots, is working with the steering com mittee to develop New Roots Farm. After college, Hicks joined AmeriCorps and New Roots in search of opportunities to match their interests and studies in sus tainable development perspectives and critical development theory. “It was my dream to be able to compensate farmers for their time working on the steering committee, and I was so happy that the idea was approved,” Hicks says.

Previously, New Roots Farm was heavily impacted by flooding. The steering committee is currently considering a potential new site that is larger and would be much less affected by flooding. “We had flooding that affected almost three-quarters of the land and the gardens were demolished,” says Bahambazi. “Less than a quarter of the [potential] new farmland would be affected by flooding.”

New Roots hopes to own the new farmland by September.

More Dairy Market?

Stony Point Development Group files plans for the third phase

By Sean Tubbs

There has been a lot of building activity on Preston Avenue in the last 10 years, with the redevelopment of older structures into spaces for the 21st century.

The biggest of these has been the transformation of the Monticello Dairy into a mixed-use project with a 30,000 square-foot food hall, 50,000 square feet of office space, and 180 apartments built in two phases.

Now Stony Point Development Group has filed plans with the City of Charlottesville to expand the project to the east by building on the site of several one-story commercial buildings that house businesses such as Fifth Season Gardening, Twice is Nice, and Preston Suds.

“The project will maximize the potential of currently underutilized light industrial buildings and surface parking, bringing needed housing and economic development to a location that is walkable to downtown Charlottesville and the University of Virginia,” says Chris Henry, SPDG’s president.

The conceptual documents included in the announcement for a July 25 community meeting show seven stories along Preston Avenue and five stories along West Street.

Henry says his company will seek to expand the existing special use permit due to the uncertainty of when the draft zoning code will be approved. (A final draft of the code is expected to be released later this month.)

However, the project is raising concern among many in the 10th and Page neighbor-

hood who say more affordable units are needed.

Sharon Jones’ family were among those displaced at Vinegar Hill in the 1960s. She says the process with the first two phases of Dairy Market was not transparent.

“With the affordable housing issue being at the forefront, the ‘affordable’ housing units available at 10th and Dairy are affordable only for the wealthy,” Jones said in an email. “The proposed buildings will hover over West Street and block the view that a neighborhood is there.”

Jones says she’s concerned about the loss of businesses that people in surrounding neighborhoods can walk to, such as the laundromat.

The existing two phases of Dairy Market are all on land currently zoned Central City Corridor, a category that dates back to the 2003 rezoning, which created the possibility for additional density within Charlottesville. City Council approved a special use permit in July 2018 to allow for additional height.

Since then, the assessed value of the two phases has increased nearly five times with a combined assessment. That means a property tax bill of nearly half a million in revenue for the city this year.

The three properties slated for development are all designated as Corridor MixedUse 5 in the draft zoning code. That allows for a minimum of five stories, but allows up to seven if the project meets affordability requirements that will be embedded under the code.

When asked, Jones says she was unaware there was work underway to change the zoning code.

JUSTICE DELAYED

Lynching victim’s indictment dismissed

By Lisa Provence

On July 12, the 125th anniversary of a white lynch mob murdering John Henry James, a packed courtroom in Albemarle Circuit Court applauded when a judge dismissed an indictment for rape that was handed down in 1898, even after the prosecutor and grand jury knew that James was dead.

“A mockery of the justice system,” said Judge Cheryl Higgins.

Albemarle Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Hingeley’s motion to dismiss more than a century later is in itself pretty much unheard of. “It’s an effort to set the record straight 125 years later,” says Hingeley, who was “particularly disturbed” by the complicity of the justice system.

On July 11, 1898, Julia Hotopp, a 20-yearold white woman from a prominent family that owned what is now Pen Park, had been riding her horse and alleged a dark-complexioned, heavy-set man sexually assaulted her, Hingeley told the court.

James, a Black ice cream vendor, whom The Daily Progress said “somewhat fit” the description of the assailant, was arrested that day and moved to jail in Staunton to avoid already angry white citizens.

He was returned to Charlottesville the next morning, and when the train stopped west of town at Wood’s Depot, property now owned by Farmington Country Club, he was greeted by a mob of around 150, pulled from the train despite the presence of the Albemarle sheriff and Charlottesville police chief, and hanged from a locust tree while pleading his innocence, according to the Progress.

His body was then riddled with bullet holes, and people took pieces of clothing, his body, and the locust tree as souvenirs.

While James was being murdered, a grand jury met. Despite knowing James was dead, it proceeded to indict him for the alleged rape, which Hingeley believes was a false accusation.

The Albemarle commonwealth’s attorney at the time, Micajah Woods, acted improperly by indicting a dead man, and did so to create justification for the lynching, says Hingeley. “They still wanted to put a formal accusation in the public record to justify the taking of his life. That bothers me.”

Another thing that bothers Hingeley is that no effort was made to bring the perpetrators of the lynching to justice, and he figuratively indicts then-Albemarle sheriff Lucien Watts and Charlottesville police chief Frank Farish, both of whom were present at

the attack, but claimed not to recognize any of the small town’s unmasked assailants. The coroner’s inquest the next day found James’ death was at the hand of “persons unknown.”

“Of course that’s a lie,” says Hingeley. “The racial terror lynching was more or less officially sanctioned.”

James’ death wasn’t widely known until 2013, when historian Jane Smith was going through old issues of The Daily Progress. Nor was it the last time police stood by while white supremacists attacked, says Jalane Schmidt, director of the Memory Project at UVA’s Karsh Institute of Democracy.

The violent Unite the Right rally in 2017 brought white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and fascists to Charlottesville to protest the removal of Confederate statues, left counterprotester Heather Heyer dead, and the city and nation shaken by the outpouring of hate. “We’re standing where white supremacists beat up activists and police stood by,” says Schmidt.

The mood was somber a year later on July 12, 2018, when local residents and officials gathered at the site where James was lynched. They dug up soil to carry on a civil rights pilgrimage to Montgomery, Alabama, and add it to the Equal Justice Initiative’s memorialization of the racial terror of America’s

lynching past. The EJI has documented more than 4,400 lynchings between 1877 and 1950.

Schmidt organized the 2018 civil rights pilgrimage with Jefferson School African American Heritage Center’s Executive Director Andrea Douglas. Around 100 locals boarded buses heading south.

Schmidt, who led walking tours with Douglas of Charlottesville’s Confederate monuments before they were removed, testified about what she learned about James’ death from historical records.

She noted that as part of the EJI’s Community Remembrance Project, a marker commemorating the death of James was erected July 12, 2019, outside the Albemarle courthouse where he was indicted.

Black journalist Ida B. Wells reported during the Jim Crow era that many Black men were lynched as revenge for alleged assaults of white women—assaults that were “largely unfounded,” says Schmidt.

And she’s haunted by the Progress account that James “somewhat fit” the description of Hotopp’s alleged assailant: a large, Black man. “That sounds like a boogeyman if I ever heard one,” says Schmidt.

Dismissing James’ indictment for rape acknowledges the legal injustice that was done and declares, “This does not represent

our values,” says Schmidt. An EJI staffer told her Hingeley’s motion to right a 125-year-old wrong was “unprecedented,” she adds.

Many of those who made the pilgrimage were in Albemarle Circuit Court July 12.

Former city councilor Wes Bellamy was one. Five years ago at the lynching site outside the exclusive Farmington neighborhood, he imagined the terror James must have felt as the train slowed. After the hearing, he felt relief.

“I think it is important we do the right thing, and I appreciate Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Hingeley doing so,” says Bellamy. “Justice delayed is not justice denied. This restored a brother’s good name. There’s a sense of pride when we have these moments. There was a sense in the past that we’d never see these moments.”

Don Gathers also made the pilgrimage. “I’m elated we’re here, I’m sad we have to be here,” he says. “I’m extremely happy for the soul of John Henry James, but what about the families of others who were lynched?”

Albemarle County declared July 12, 2023, John Henry James Day “in remembrance of our shared community history and as a demonstration of our commitment that this tragedy will be neither forgotten nor repeated,” says the proclamation.

Board of Supervisors Chair Donna Price was at the courthouse, and she also had mixed emotions. “Justice was never truly provided to John Henry James,” she says. “When I think of the terror he had being ripped out of the train, and the des-

ecration of his body. … What we did today was important because justice must be served, but insufficient because no one was held accountable. On the other hand, I feel great pride in our community’s commonwealth’s attorney.”

So why now? In April Hingeley traveled to Equal Justice Initiative’s lynching memorial in Montgomery with other prosecutors. “It’s a moving experience to go to the Legacy Museum and to see our community’s soil there,” he says. “I came back with an interest in doing something further” with the EJI’s Community Remembrance Project that recognizes the “racial terror lynching in our community.”

Hingeley, who is also prosecuting some of the torch-bearing marchers from 2017’s Unite the Right, says, “It’s important to deal with the legacy of white supremacy.” Outside the courthouse, he points to the spot where a Johnny Reb statue once stood, and says his predecessor, Micajah Woods, who indicted James posthumously, led the effort to install the statue in 1909.

“White supremacy is still out there to harm our community,” says Hingeley. “Knowing the history of this is important, partly to respond to the injustice, partly to keep the community involved with our

history.”

“This restored a brother’s good name.”

Quieter than the cacophony

New book explores the radical hope of nurses

By Sarah Lawson arts@c-ville.com

“It is one thing to understand in theory that our healthcare system is broken … and an entirely different thing to have your hands in the leaky dam of that broken system every day,” writes

Sarah DiGregorio, author of Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World

Beginning with a historical overview of nursing from prehistoric times to present day, DiGregorio traces the power dynamics between nurses and other practitioners who work with the human body, from the barber-surgeons of the Middle Ages to modern physicians. She details the professionalization of medicine and what she calls the “slow-motion cleaving of the old world of passeddown, empirical expertise from a new world of stricter hierarchy.” DiGregorio also analyzes how health insurance has impacted the field significantly, hastening a decline in focus on the relationship between practitioner and patient in exchange for efficiency and profits.

Still, in examining the evolution of the field and the social politics surrounding nursing, the author showcases how these histories suggest an alternative human drive, that evolutionarily we might be just as motivated by the urge to care for others as we are by empire-building, domination, and survival of the fittest. Taking Care leans into this optimistic view of our species, profiling individual nurses who showcase some of the best of what it means to be human.

Two of the nurses included in the book are Mary Seacole, a lesser-known Black contemporary of Florence Nightingale, and Nancy Leftenant-Colon, one of the first Black nurses to serve in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. DiGregorio also profiles Cliff Morrison, the nurse who started the first hospital ward for AIDS patients, which was “Born out of one nurse’s realization that AIDS patients needed end-of-life care they weren’t getting, mainly because of the homophobic stigma and panic around AIDS at the time.” DiGregorio shares how Morrison responded to this need by treating his patients as human beings worthy of respect and care.

L. Synn Stern, a nurse who operates a clinic at an overdose prevention center, does work that exists at the intersection of substance use, homelessness and economic justice, climate change and environmental justice, structural racism, and American politics. As DiGregorio notes, “Much of nursing’s power lies in the one-on-one relationship with a patient, but many of the root causes of illnesses are bigger social problems that can’t be solved individually.”

It is clear that DiGregorio sought to make something more than the literary equivalent of the applause offered nurses during the early COVID-19 pandemic. Taking Care is an in-depth examination of the field of nursing, and works to deconstruct the misogyny and false binaries of gender roles and physician-nurse hierarchies while also looking at the challenges within types of nursing, including military, hospice, and reproductive care as well as public health and environmental justice, among others.

And that nightly clapping for COVID-19 nurses? DiGregorio recounts: “Nurses I spoke to recognized that all the hero talk came from a good place, but they also found it wearying. It indicated that the public didn’t really understand the work they did—didn’t

really understand it as skilled work, not an immutable identity.” She adds, “We called them our heroes—and we meant it. But this wasn’t really what they needed.”

In considering what it is that nurses do need, DiGregorio notes, “The big-picture problem is not a lack of nurses, but nurse turnover. … Nurses often suffer what is called a moral injury—when they have more patients than they can safely care for, and when they are forced to participate in a situation that goes against their deepest sense of what is right. This can be so excruciating that it causes them to quit the profession.” She highlights labor unions, like the California Nurses Association, as one strategy to combat the working conditions that undermine nurses in this way.

Despite the diverse challenges, DiGregorio makes the case that nurses are uniquely situated to connect with people and offer intersectional care. “I spoke to nurses who practice in thoughtful, innovative ways that respond to the innate right of every person and community to be valued and cared for,” she says. “The work they do is quieter than the cacophony, but it is powerful, and it is old. If there is a human instinct to tear apart, to hurt and destroy, there is also a human instinct to mend, to care, to reach out.”

More than that, DiGregorio suggests that nurses are also distinctive in their ability to offer hope. “Imagine a world in which the conditions necessary for health are enjoyed by all,” she says. “Nurses have a unique ability to bring such a world to fruition, if they choose it. The rest of us can help.”

Sarah DiGregorio will discuss her book Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World at New Dominion Bookshop on Saturday, July 22.

Retirement of a lost art

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a mediocre but enjoyable sequel

By Justin Humphreys arts@c-ville.com

James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is innocuous summer entertainment full of cliffhangers and hairbreadth escapes—but for all of its expensive spectacle, the film is just decent. The final entry in the wildly popular movie franchise starring Harrison Ford (and the only one Steven Spielberg didn’t direct) recaps many familiar notes from Indy’s earlier adventures, but it’s overlong and lacks the skill and boyish enthusiasm that Spielberg brought to Raiders of the Lost Ark

In the action-packed World War II-era opening, we find Dr. Jones (a CG de-aged Ford) and his colleague Basil Shaw (Toby Jones) stealing half of a priceless artifact, Archimedes’ Antikythera, from Nazi scientist Jurgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen). The story then picks up in 1969, where aging Professor Jones is retiring, facing divorce, and coping with his son’s death in Vietnam. Shaw’s daughter, Helena (Phoebe WallerBridge), turns up seeking the Antikythera, with Voller and his henchmen close behind. Outwardly, Voller is a Wernher von Braun-like contributor to America’s space program, but secretly he is a committed Nazi with despicable plans involving the Antikythera. Helena, meanwhile, is illicitly dealing artifacts and wants to hock the device for fast cash.

advanced age.

What follows is essentially everything audiences expect from an Indiana Jones adventure. We get countless reworked versions of major scenes, characters, and tropes from throughout the series: a feisty, two-fisted heroine; a wisecracking hustler kid sidekick; relentless chase scenes; the Wilhelm Scream; crawly bugs swarming over the heroes; ad infinitum. Despite its derivative nature, it’s still superior to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and is mercifully devoid of Shia LaBeouf, monkeys, and the general ridiculousness that undercut that film.

The Indiana Jones stories were always meant to be fun pulp a la the Republic movie serials, and Dial of Destiny generally adheres to that tone. It frequently shines in the comic beats where Indy finds himself—as usual—in over his head, further exacerbated by his advanced age. He’s still “making it up as he goes along,” as he once said, and his scrapes get truly funny. But at certain key points, the film’s plot, which already knowingly strains audiences’ credulity, pushes it too far and becomes downright ludicrous.

Fortunately, glaring examples of this don’t spoil the fun and there are several genuinely inventive scenes, which include spoilers. Meanwhile, John Williams’ instantly recognizable music properly sets the rousing tone, and the costumes and production design are well done. The CG effects, including the de-aging, are mostly convincing.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

PG-13, 154 minutes

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Regal Stonefield, Violet Crown

The cast is capable, including Ford, WallerBridge, Jones, and Antonio Banderas in a brief part. Always reliable, Mikkelsen gives his all with his clichéd Nazi villain. John Rhys-Davies and Karen Allen both make very welcome appearances, reprising their roles as Sallah and Marion Ravenwood, respectively. But did they have to demote Sallah to working as a New York cabbie?

In general, Dial of Destiny offers enjoyable escapism, with a bittersweet, nostalgic undercurrent that reminds us how endearing Indy is. Even if Ford has aged, watching him wipe out Nazis by the dozen is agelessly entertaining, however it’s time to hang up the fedora and whip. Though this final Indiana Jones movie is no masterpiece, at least Ford is going out on a pretty respectable note.

CROSSKEYS

WINERY

Letizia

Letizia is made from 100% Chambourcin which was picked, processed and fermented specifically for sparkling wine. Chambourcin’s great acidity and fruit flavors are well suited to sparkling rosé; and unique to Letizia is the ripeness at which the grapes are picked. The riper fruit yields bright raspberry aromas along with notes pineapple and guava. Refreshing acidity is balanced by natural residual sugar, which further contributes to tropical fruit flavors on the palate.

Vividly pink, vigorously bubbly, and vibrantly fruity.

CrossKeys Vineyards is a family owned and operated winery located in the heart of beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Our approach is to grow, by hand, the highest quality fruit using careful canopy management and yield balance to achieve 100% estate-grown wines that are truly expressive of the varietal and soils here at CrossKeys. Our first vines were planted in 2001 and we have only grown since then. Our 125-acre estate currently houses more than 30 acres of vines with plans for more planting in the future. We currently grow 12 varietals of grapes all used to produce our one of a kind award-winning wines. We offer wine tastings throughout the day. Our knowledgeable tasting room associates will guide you through tasting our wines whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran. We love large groups and want to make sure your experience at CrossKeys Vineyards is extraordinary.

Petit Rosé

Never heard of Petit Rosé before?  Neither had we until our Rosé blending workshop earlier this year.  Sitting at a table covered with beakers and flasks, one team, having measured one too many milliliters and tasted one (or a few?) too many blends, decided to throw in the towel and just blend half Rosé with half Petit Manseng.  In a stroke of genius (think “your peanut butter in my chocolate”), these workshop participants inadvertently created the winning blend and now a fan favorite. With notes of honey, strawberry and lemon, it is the perfect summer wine.

Leo

(July 23-Aug. 22): Leo theologian Bernard McGinn defines mysticism as “the consciousness of the immediate presence of God.” In other words, people having a mystic experience are filled with a visceral sensation of the divine intelligence. It’s not just an idea or concept; it’s a deeply felt communion infused with intimate tenderness. You Leos will be more likely than usual to have such contact in the coming weeks—if you want it. If you don’t want it, or don’t believe it’s real, or don’t think it’s possible, well, then, you can of course resist it. But why not give it a whirl? There’s nothing to lose, and it could be fun.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s a parable for you. Once upon a time, there was a woman who could read the future in the night sky. She regarded the planets and stars as her divine informants. On one moonless evening, she took a walk down a dirt road near her home. It was so dark she could barely see two feet ahead of her. Oops! She should have brought a flashlight. Lost in wonder, she gazed up at the heavenly bodies, watching and listening for revelations they might have for her. Then one of the lights, the planet Saturn, whispered, “Stop and look down, friend.” The woman turned her eyes from the sky to the ground just in time to find she was two strides away from stepping into a deep, muddy hole. What’s the moral of the tale? Here are some possibilities. 1. Sometimes the heights provide useful information about the depths. 2. Soaring visions may help you tune in to practical details. 3. To become aware of important facts you’ve overlooked in your daily rhythm, consult your higher mind.

Libra

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A Libran writer I know received many rejection notices when he launched his career. I was amazed at how undaunted he was. In fact, he was the opposite of undaunted. He taped copies of his rejection notices to his bedroom wall. Seeing the evidence of his failures motivated him. It drove him to improve his writing and churn out even more articles. It fueled his search for a wider array of publications that might host his work. During the fourth year of this approach, luck and fate turned in his favor. Within the next eight months, 12 of his pieces appeared in print. My muses tell me, Libra, that you need to hear this story right now.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Cancer

(June 21-July 22): The sometimes overly clever author Oscar Wilde said, “When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.” I reject that warped view of reality and assure you it will have no bearing on your life in the coming weeks. If you formulate your prayers with care and discernment, they will lead you to rewards, not problems. Maybe not the exact rewards you imagined, but still close to your hopes and helpful in the next chapter of your life story. (PS: No sloppy, lazy, careless prayers, please. Be precise and clear.)

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The cartoon character Bart Simpson is one of the stars of “The Simpsons” animated TV show. According to him, “Life is a paradox. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” While that principle may sometimes be true, I believe you will be exempt from it in the coming weeks. In fact, I suspect you will be as free as it’s possible for a human to be of grueling contradictions, frustrating oppositions, clashing truths, and paralyzing contraries. There’s a good chance you will also outwit and avoid annoying incongruities and silly arguments. Congratulations in advance, Scorpio! Take full advantage of this phase of simple clarity.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The dragon has appeared in the myths and legends of many cultures. Europe, China, and Mesoamerica are just a few places where the fire-breathing flying reptiles have fascinated the human imagination. In some traditions, they are dangerous and predatory. In China, though, they have been harbingers of good fortune and symbols of great power. Emperors claimed the dragon as their special emblem. In assigning the dragon to be your soul creature, Sagittarius, I am drawing from Chinese lore. What would you like to accomplish that would benefit from you having access to fierce, dynamic, indomitable energy? Call on the dragon for help and power.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There is a world of people who will love you for who you are,” writes author Cheryl Strayed. “A whole, vibrant, fucked-up, happy, conflicted, joyous, and depressed mass of people.” In the coming months, one of your prime tasks is to specialize in communing with these

folks. Make it your intention to surround yourself more and more with interesting, imperfect, ever-changing life-lovers who appreciate you for exactly who you are— and who inspire you to grow more and more into the full idiosyncratic glory of your authentic self.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What psychic or prophet is most popular with a-list celebrities? I can assure you it’s not me. Few of my millions of readers are world-famous. What about the planet’s most scientifically accurate astrologer? Who might that be? It ain’t me. I don’t regard astrology as a science, and I mistrust those who say it is. In my view, astrology is a mythopoetic language and psychospiritual system that nurtures our souls and helps liberate us from our conditioning. We shouldn’t try to get “scientifically accurate” information from it. Now I encourage you to do what I just did, Aquarius. Have fun telling people who you are not, what you don’t believe in, and which goals you aren’t interested in pursuing.

Pisces

(Feb. 19-March 20): To come up with your astrological reports, I study the positions of the sun, moon, and planets in relation to your sign. That’s the technical part of the work, the framework within which I unleash my intuition and imagination. To augment this work, I meditate and pray, asking higher powers to guide me in providing useful information for you. I often consult books written by my favorite astrology writers (currently reading Steven Forrest’s The Elements series). I also ask my deep mind to slip me info that might not be accounted for by traditional factors. How about you, Pisces? How do you do the work that you love and care about? Now is a good time to take inventory and make necessary adjustments.

Aries

(March 21-April 19): Your deep psyche will soon well up with extra creativity and fertility. I hope you will eagerly tap into these gifts. You should assume that you will be more imaginative and ingenious than usual. You will have an enhanced ability to solve problems with vigor and flair. In what areas of your life would you love to gently erupt with a burst of reinvention? Which of your habits might benefit from being cheerfully disrupted? Give yourself permission to change whatever bores you.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20): My teacher Paul Foster Case said the color yellow is midway between warm, exciting red and cool, calming blue. “Yellow has an equilibrating influence,” he wrote. “It stimulates the finer functions of the brain, is of assistance in developing alertness and discrimination, and helps to establish emotional balance.” According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, you should emphasize this hue in the coming days. If you call on yellow to help strengthen the qualities Case describes, you will place yourself in sweet alignment with cosmic rhythms.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20): Because I enjoy joking with you, I am slightly tempted right now to give you one of the following nicknames: Fidgety, Twitch, Jittery, Quivers, or Shakes. But I will take a more serious tack. Let’s instead see if we can influence you to slow down, stabilize your rhythm, get really steady and secure, and stand strong in your foundational power spot. Would you consider adopting any of the following nicknames? Anchor, Unshakeable, Sturdy, Rock Solid, Staunch, Steadfast, Resolute.

YOU’LL BE HAPPY TO HEAR...

…that local teachers received a little extra love and support thanks to the Shannon Foundation. Over $24,000 was granted to 16 teachers in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, who will use the funds to support their innovative learning projects. At Walton Middle School, sixth graders will cycle their way through history in Kathryn Durkee’s Pedal Power project. Using underdesk cycles, the students will track Lewis and Clark’s historic trail across the U.S.—talk about a workout! The largest grant of $5,000 went to John Baran’s Strike Up the Band…Saw, which will help building trades and auto body students at CATEC master the bandsaw. Products made with the bandsaw will eventually be available for purchase in support of student activity funds. Learn about all the creative projects at shannongrants.org
