THIS WEEK Hello, Charlottesville! Thank you for reading C-VILLE Weekly. These days, I try to walk to as many places as I can: around my neighborhood, across the bridge to the Downtown Mall, up the street to Ix Art Park. And wherever I go, I’m always delighted to see those little blue C-VILLE boxes—and you, reader, picking up the latest issue.

Our feature story this week, written by Matt Dhillon, is about the new restaurant Umma’s (p. 16).

Its founders and chefs Kelsey Naylor and Anna Gardner are a fascinating pair who serve up unique Japanese and Korean dishes prepared from scratch. A great appeal of their food is in the intentionality behind their cooking—from locally sourced ingredients to frank attitudes about “authenticity.” Naylor and Gardner aren’t just passionate about cuisine, they care about the unique culture and artistry of each item on their menu.

All food has a story, and acknowledging how that story necessarily changes as recipes cross oceans and slip into new cultures is key to freeing our taste buds from nagging

8.3.22

notions of what’s real and authentic. And it’s tempting to judge food on its faithfulness, especially when you feel an affinity for that culture. I come from Cuban and Italian families, and I’ll admit that I sometimes bristle when I see a Cuban sandwich made on a panini press (Use a flat press! No ridges!). But I also know that in Tampa they put salami on the damn thing, so who am I to judge?

If the people want salami, and it feels right, then by all means, smash tradition.—Richard DiCicco

Charlottesville City Council unanimously passed a 5-cent tax per bag on disposable plastic grocery bags at grocery stores, convenience stores, and pharmacies during its Monday meeting. The city will provide reusable bags to people who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. Councilor Sena Magill urged the city to set up a phone line for residents in need of free bags, as well as work with community groups to distribute them. The tax will take effect on January 1.

Albemarle County will be turning the former JCPenney at the practically empty Fashion Square Mall into a public safety operations center. The space will be used for storage, parking, maintenance, and evidence processing, among other functions, reports NBC29.

Renovating the old store will cost the county roughly $3.1 million.

The decision, however, is not up to the trustees—all five localities served by the library system must agree to change the name.

Louisa and Greene counties have already

passed resolutions opposing any name changes. Instead, the board voted to create a working group with trustees, library staff, and community members on both sides of the issue to gather more public input, and come up with a recommendation to provide to the member jurisdictions. The library’s regional agreement is up for review this fall.

S

ince the Reclaimed Roots Descendants Alliance called on the Jefferson Madison Regional Library to change its name to one that does not honor enslavers, the possibility of a name change has stirred up controversy among local residents.

During a lengthy library board of trustees meeting last week, more than a dozen community members spoke on both sides of the issue.

Opponents of the name change, all of whom were white, railed against “identity politics,” “cancel culture,” and “wokeness.”

Some claimed Jefferson was not a white supremacist or rapist—despite the historical and genealogical evidence supporting it— and both presidents’ contributions to the country outweighed their faults.

Thomas Jefferson impersonator James Renwick Manship argued the third president was a Christian and tried to end slavery, switching between speaking as Jefferson and himself.

Albemarle County resident Jane Williamson accused those behind the name change effort of fueling “hatred of white people.”

Some speakers did not live in areas served by the library system. Richmond-area resident Charlotte Whitmore shared that driving down Monument Avenue, where Confederate statues were recently removed, makes her “sick.”

UVA Board of Visitors appointee and Jefferson Council president Bert Ellis, who lives in South Carolina, called Jefferson “one the greatest persons that ever walked on the planet.”

Multiple attendees were in favor of the name change, criticizing Jefferson’s owner­ship of over 600 enslaved people, white supremacist writings, and at least six children with enslaved teenager Sally Hemings.

“Jefferson did not just support the project of white supremacy, but was indeed one of its main architects,” said Charlottesville resident Laura Sirgany. “The descendants of those enslaved at Monticello have asked for this change—they are the living history.”

“It is deeply inappropriate at this point in time with all that we know about Jefferson

Chandler was first arrested August 1, 2021, on a felony charge of incest. The Daily Progress reported at the time of her arrest that Chandler had allegedly posted descriptions of “sexual assaults against an elderly, cognitively disabled” family member.

Chandler has been the subject of targeted online harassment for over a decade.

Nearly half of Mallside Forest’s 160 units possibly received pay-or-quit notices on July 19, according to Legal Aid Justice Center.

could go from $1,217 to $2,152 per month.

Most, if not all, Mallside residents would be unable to afford such a large rent spike, and be forced to leave their homes—nearly 60 percent of the units are occupied by residents using Section 8 vouchers, according to the memorandum.

CBRE did not respond to C-VILLE’s requests for comment.

Christian is currently working with LAJC to receive VRRP funding, and fight her eviction. For months, she and her daughter have been charged “excessive” late fees at Mallside Forest, trapping them in a cycle of debt, she claims. And every year since they’ve moved in, she says their rent has increased by more than $100, a hefty burden for people who live on a fixed income.

“It just seems like the only thing that I’m paying for is the fees, and it’s just putting me more and more in default as far as rent,” says Christian.

From 2012 to 2016, Mallside Forest filed around 120 unlawful detainers against its

residents in Albemarle General District Court, according to online records. While a judge ruled in favor of Mallside Forest in about half of these cases, the other half were either dismissed, or resulted in a non-suit, which means the complex dismissed or withdrew the case.

As of August 2, the apartment complex has not filed an unlawful detainer since 2016.

However, it has filed four garnishment cases against residents since 2015, including one in June 2022.

Since last week, LAJC has knocked on doors at Mallside Forest, and taken on several more clients. It has also “received optimistic-sounding news from the property manager’s office to the effect that they are (now, at least) actively working with gov2go to get people’s balances paid. From the court website, it does not appear that anyone who received a notice on 7/19 is being sued as of yet … but we are prepared to defend these evictions in court if need be,” said LAJC attorney Carrie Klosko in an email to C-VILLE on Friday.

LAJC encourages all tenants facing eviction at Mallside Forest—or any other property in the Charlottesville area—to contact them, and know their rights. Despite the five-day deadline for a pay-or-quit notice, tenants do not have to leave their home until the entire eviction process is completed, which could take two to three months, or even longer.

“The five-day notice kind of scares a lot of people. A lot of people see it and say, ‘Oh my god, I have to leave after five days,’ [and] do what we call ‘self-evicting,’” says Klosko.

“But really it’s just a legal formality that the landlord has to send before they can file an eviction case in court.”

After a landlord files an unlawful detainer, a judge must hear the case and award the landlord possession of the property in order to evict a tenant. The tenant then has 10 days to appeal the judge’s decision before the sheriff serves a writ of eviction.

hortly after the pandemic hit, Mable Christian’s daughter’s work hours were drastically cut. Christian, who has lived with her daughter at Mallside Forest Apartments—a low-income housing complex in Albemarle County—since 2015, has been unable to work for years due to workplace injury, and currently lives on Social Security benefits. The mother and daughter eventually fell behind on their rent, and applied to the Virginia Rent Relief Program in February 2022.

“We provided everything—pay stubs, employment history, the first rent of the first lease…[But] everything just kept saying ‘pending,’” explains Christian. “We kept calling the [VRRP] to see what we needed, so we made sure that we did everything they required of us, [but] they said the rest was on the landlord.”

Mallside Forest, which is managed by Security Properties, never completed the landlord’s part of the rent relief application, Christian claims. The VRRP contacted the complex’s management multiple times, “but they just didn’t follow through,” she says. Still, Christian had hopes that their application would be processed soon, and they would receive enough money to pay off their past-due rent—until they woke up to a five-day pay-or-quit notice on their door on July 19.

“We thought we were fine,” says Christian.

“I thought everything would be going through.”

Christian’s situation is not unique—nearly half of Mallside Forest’s 160 units possibly received pay-or-quit notices on July 19, according to Legal Aid Justice Center. Residents—who must earn 60 percent or less of the area median income to live at the complex—have told LAJC lawyers that they applied for rent relief, but Mallside Forest refused to fill out its part of the application,

preventing them from receiving any financial assistance.

A Mallside Forest leasing office employee declined to comment for this story.

After lawyers from Legal Aid Justice Center visited Mallside Forest to inform tenants of their legal rights last month, Christian reached out to the nonprofit to take on her case. LAJC believes the complex refused to comply with the VRRP process because it was waiting until Virginia’s eviction protections expired on July 1 to proceed with evicting Christian and her daughter, along with other residents who were behind on rent.

Until June 30, landlords were required under state law to give tenants a written 14-day notice to pay what they owe before proceeding with an eviction, and were prohibited from evicting those who applied to the VRRP, unless they were not approved to receive relief within 45 days. Landlords who owned at least four units also had to offer a payment plan for past-due rent. But as of July 1, landlords only have to give tenants a five-day pay-or-quit notice before filing an unlawful detainer, and do not need to offer a repayment plan or wait for rent relief to arrive.

“We just didn’t know why they were just putting us on hold, and we were waiting, and everything was pending,” says Christian.

“And now I know why—they were waiting for July to come.”

As local residents continue to struggle to find affordable housing, Mallside Forest could become one less option—the apartment complex is for sale. In a confidential offering memorandum provided to C-VILLE by LAJC, seller CBRE, a commercial real estate services and investment firm, touts the “opportunity for conversion to market [rate] upon expiration of [Low-Income Housing Tax Credit] restrictions in 2028” as an investment highlight. Without these restrictions, rent for a one-bedroom apartment could go from the current price of $1,016 to $1,783 per month in 2028, while a two bedroom

Dog, gone County reports euthanization to Albemarle County Circuit Court

A report from Albemarle County has confirmed that Niko, a dog once designated “dangerous,” was euthanized by a licensed veterinarian in July, per an order by Judge Cheryl Higgins.

to put down a healthy animal. A chart aimed at helping vets to determine when euthanasia is appropriate asks them to consider, “If my actions became public, would I feel shame?”

The Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA refused to participate in Niko’s euthanization and said it opposed the county’s decision in a statement released after the dog’s death.

Harding says he has learned that Niko’s remains were picked up from a Charlottes­ ville vet by a Verona-based animal cremation company called Paws and Remember on July 21 and subsequently delivered to the SPCA. C-VILLE’s call to the veterinary practice cited by Paws and Remember to confirm the method and location of the euthanization was unsuccessful.

“She’ll call you back if she wants to,” a receptionist said of the practice manager.

C-VILLE received no return call, and Harding was asked to leave that office when he stopped by to inquire.

C-VILLE’s initial FOIA request sent July 15 also sought information about how the county arrived at the decision to euthanize Niko and what alternatives were considered.

Documents the county provided in response to those queries were heavily redacted, making it impossible to gain additional information.

The county has not yet responded to C-VILLE’s second FOIA request for further information.

week after Albemarle County claimed it had no documents in response to a FOIA request for receipts from the veterinarian that euthanized a dog named Niko, it released a report hand delivered to Albemarle County Circuit Court on July 18 attesting to the euthanization, but providing no additional information.

“In accordance with the court’s June 10, 2022 Order, requiring Albemarle County to dispose of the dog Niko, Albemarle County Animal Control delivered the dog to a licensed veterinarian who euthanized it on July 14, 2022,” reads the entirety of the report from Albemarle County Police Chief Sean Reeves.

A cover letter accompanying the report from Albemarle County Senior Assistant County Attorney Richard DeLoria says the report came at the request of Judge Cheryl Higgins, who issued the order for Niko’s disposal.

“We’re still working on getting answers as to how Niko was disposed of and why,” says Elliott Harding, the attorney who has represented Niko’s owner during a lengthy court battle to save the dog’s life. “When it comes to public use of private services, whether it be veterinarian or any other service, it’s a matter of public record. It’s disappointing that it’s taking this long to get the answers that will eventually come out.”

Niko arrived at the Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA in December 2014 after Higgins ruled he had killed a neighbor’s cat and labeled him a dangerous dog. In a statement defending Niko’s euthanization as a public safety matter, Albemarle County cited three other incidents in which Niko injured another dog as the basis for the decision. One occurred at the SPCA in 2016 when Niko escaped a handler.

Harding has pointed out that there are many other dangerous dogs in Albemarle County. The designation “dangerous dog” is not as serious as “vicious dog,” and Harding says the law actually encourages alternatives to euthanization for dangerous dogs.

He says he and Niko’s owners found numerous safe placements for Niko at sanctuaries or homes in- or out-of-state, but the county did not respond to his repeated inquiries about what conditions it would require to release the dog rather than euthanize it.

ans of the Basan food truck may be experiencing an empty feeling in Charlottesville’s parking lots and on its blacktops. One of the city’s most beloved dining experiences, marked by a fire-breathing rooster logo, is no more.

But every night resolves into morning, and for Basan proprietors and chefs Kelsey Naylor and Anna Gardner, tomorrow has come. Now, they wake up to a new and challenging project—running Umma’s, their brick-and-mortar Japanese and Korean restaurant.

The two chefs prepare everything from scratch. “We’re too stubborn to cut any corners,” Naylor says. So there are things to pickle, things to chop, things to order.

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are for prep, the rest of the week is service. There’s a menu to build, workflows to develop, ingredients to source—primarily from Kelsey’s mom Jen’s Sussex Farm and a few other local growers. In between, they might have time for sleep.

For the food truck, “from scratch” meant making noodles, fermenting miso, and preparing the sauces as needed; now it means several days of cooking, fermenting, and gathering ingredients in order to bring that same homemade quality to every dish at Umma’s. “If we can’t make something the right way, we’re just not going to make it,” says Naylor.

That work ethic reflects the influence of Jen, “Mamabird,” Naylor, and is just one of the ways she is honored at the restaurant.

The name Umma’s, which means “mom’s” in Korean, is in recognition of her, the mothers before her, and their collective influence on the food being made there.

“She’s the most stubborn woman I’ve ever met in my life,” says Naylor of Jen. “Everything from how she treats her chickens and all of her livestock, to her plants and her farming—everything is an unwillingness to be lazy, and that taking a corner is seen as laziness and that’s absolutely not acceptable.”

And then there’s Sussex Farm. All of the kimchi is made there, and the 22-acre farm has hundreds of birds (chickens, quail, ducks, turkeys, and guineas), a multitude of fruit trees, and an abundance of produce.

In that way, the food is essentially Virginian at the same time that it is Korean or Japanese.

Such high-quality source ingredients allow dazzling combinations on Umma’s menu.

Traditional cuisine like banchan, bulgogi, and yaki udon are tantalizing, and some of the less familiar plates—like barbecue eel next CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

NIGHTCAPS & HIGHBALLS

“If we can’t make something the right way, we’re just not going to make it.”

19

KELSEY NAYLOR

They say every great bulgogi sandwich needs a Matcha Mule—well, Jessica Catalano does. As Umma’s bar and front-of-house manager, Catalano has created a rotating cocktail program that pairs with the restaurant’s inventive dishes to elevate the dining experience. Here are three of her recommendations.

YUZU CHUHAI

Chuhai is the slang name for a “shoCHU HIGHball,” considered Japan’s national drink. They are made from shochu—a clear, Japanese distilled spirit (ours is distilled from barley, but shochu can be distilled from rice, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, and more)— club soda, and a splash of whatever you want to flavor it. We always have an ume (salty pickled plum), lime, and yuzu (tart citrus that tastes like a grapefruit and orange cross) chuhai on the menu, as well as sometimes a rotating special that uses fresh fruit from Mamabird’s farm. The yuzu chuhai is my favorite, paired with an order of karaage or KFC wings.

LYCHEE SPRITZ

Made with Giffard Lichi-Li liqueur and sparkling umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur), as well as a drop or two of house yuzu bitters. I had sitting on the patio and drinking with friends in mind when I designed this drink, and that’s exactly how I would recommend consuming it—in the sun, with good conversation, and a handful of our shared dishes. Try a set of banchan or one of our chilled salad options.

to a hot dog, beef tongue wrapped in sesame leaves, fried wood ear, or fried bone marrow—excite curiosity. The Big Mac Bokkeum-bap combines an icon of American pop culture with the traditional rice stir-fry in a hot stone bowl.

Naylor and Gardner have been cooking professionally for about a decade each, including a period in Japan at a local izakaya (an informal, Japanese bar), where they learned to develop their own approach to traditional ways of cooking.

“Perfect authenticity is not possible,” Naylor says. “You can be authentic in the way that you’re trying to share and show a culture, but if you’re trying to say that the food tastes exactly the way that it would taste in Japan or Korea, it’s not going to and it never will.”

Naylor and Gardner instead set out to make food that is authentic to themselves, their own experience, and their taste. The important thing, they say, is to work with what is local and make something connected to where you are.

And this works in reverse too. The Umma’s founders say they became fascinated with how Japanese and Korean cooks repurpose American ingredients, and reimagine dishes toward their own palate. “It was a

new way to look at these things that, at times, we’ve been forced to cook to the point of boredom and see as new again,” says Gardner.

Naylor and Gardner’s experience and understanding of the elements of traditional cooking—why ingredients work the way they do in those dishes—gives them the insight and confidence to play in the kitchen.

The creativity behind Umma’s frequent menu changes is largely dependent on the agricultural season. It’s a motivator for the two chefs who say they are excited to work in some ramps from West Virginia, pickled squash flowers from Sussex Farm, and a new, whole sardine banchan.

“I think that there are two types of cooks in the world, if I’m generalizing,” Gardner says. “One type wants to make something that has been made for thousands of years and draws almost a meditative enjoyment out of fine tuning and finding the most perfect version of that thing, and then the second type is more interested in making something new.”

Amid all of this preparation, production, and culinary innovation, when Umma’s founders need to eat their own dinner, the two chefs, who spend their day crafting new ideas on the plate, find sustenance in a quick bowl of rice with butter and soy sauce.

MATCHA MULE

Soju, a slightly sweet Korean distilled liquor made from grains and rice, is infused with ceremonialgrade matcha, and mixed with fresh-squeezed lime, simple syrup, and topped with Gosling’s ginger beer. This delicious, easy-drinker is a popular late-night hit, so I would say roll in after 10pm and have one or two as your nightcap, paired with an order of our nori fries and bulgogi sandwich. And if you’re drinking one and your friend beats you at Mario Kart while you’re here, it’s the perfect excuse for losing. You would’ve won if you weren’t drinking.

Audiences interact with civil rights icon Nina Simone at Virginia Theatre Festival

Yolanda Rabun plays Nina Simone in a one-woman show at UVA’s Culbreth Theatre through August 7. More information is available at virginiatheatrefestival.org.

By Julia Stumbaugh arts@c-ville.com

H

alf an hour before taking the stage in No Fear and Blues Long Gone: Nina Simone, actress and lawyer Yolanda Rabun sits in her dressing room listening to Bach.

The room is filled with the music Nina Simone’s grandfather played for her as a young girl, which later inspired the compositions on Rabun’s desk.

Even though she’s preparing to be the only person on stage at the Culbreth Theatre, Rabun is surrounded by her idol.

“I don’t think I feel tremendously the pressure of being by myself, because I’m not really by myself,” she says. “I have her with me. I have her memory. I have her energy. I have her spirit. I have all of my rehearsal. I have all of my learnings—what went wrong, what went right. I have all that with me, so I never feel alone on stage.”

Rabun portrays Simone in No Fear and Blues Long Gone: Nina Simone, an interactive one-woman production exploring the life of one of the most prolific artists and civil rights activists in American history.

The show is part of the Virginia Theatre Festival, formerly the Heritage Theatre Festival, which is returning to the University of Virginia for the first time since 2019.

No Fear is the culmination of Rabun’s lifelong connection with Simone, an activist

“Howard [Craft] has given us an imagining of what she might say to encourage us and strengthen our spines to fight the fights we are fighting.”

YOLANDA RABUN

who wanted freedom—which she defined as “no fear, I mean really, no fear”—for Black people and women in America.

Rabun first heard Simone’s voice at 8 years old, when her mother played a recording of “Four Women.”

To an inexorable beat, Simone used her powerful voice to paint a vivid portrait of four Black women suffering from the lingering impact of slavery and segregation: “My skin is black / My arms are long / My hair is woolly / My back is strong / Strong enough to take the pain / Inflicted again and again.”

When the song ended, the child was left stunned.

“It freaked me out, because she started talking about these four women, and I could see them,” Rabun says. “And I was like, ‘Who is that? Who can sing like that? ... We can sing that low?’ And so I started building my contralto. The bottom of my voice is from that, listening to Nina Simone.”

In 2008, Rabun used her contralto to bring to life a vignette crafted by writer Howard Craft and director Kathryn HunterWilliams for a Nina Simone exhibit at UNC Chapel Hill.

Craft used his script to connect real events in Simone’s life—from her relationship with New York neighbor Malcolm X to her mournful tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.—with how she might have reacted to current events like the election of President Barack Obama.

“A lot of it, arguably, is speculation of what she would say,” Rabun says. “But I don’t think he got it wrong.”

Since 2008, the world has changed, and so has the play. Based on extensive study of Simone’s writing, career, and life, Craft expanded No Fear to connect Simone’s timeless songs with issues relevant to 2022 audiences.

“It’s a reflection on her experience, where she’s also giving us some tools on how to carry on,” Hunter-Williams says. “Howard has given us an imagining of what she might say to encourage us and strengthen our spines to fight the fights we are fighting.”

Simone’s music emboldens this message, just as it did during her lifetime. “Mississippi Goddam” was written in 1964 in response to the brutal murders of Black children like Emmett Till, but Rabun’s performance draws a visceral response from listeners today.

After performances, audience members share with Hunter-Williams how Simone’s fiery lyrics (“You told me to wash and clean my ears / and talk real fine just like a lady / and you’d stop calling me Sister Sadie / oh but this whole country is full of lies”) resonated with them.

“It’s the only reason we do this crazy art,” says Hunter-Williams. “Every play, every moment, everything I do, is finding a way to connect with the audience, to let them know how powerful theater is, and how it really can be a vehicle for change, and for reflection, and for inspiration. It is why we do what we do.”

Performing these politically powerful songs, which Simone later said damaged her career, is when Rabun feels closest to the artist she is embodying.

“That’s when I think Nina Simone started becoming more of the artist she wanted to be,” Rabun says. “She went into civil rights music because that’s a part of who she was.

That was a part of her entire struggle, of facing the fact that her color was the barrier to the success that she wanted to achieve and was denied.”

ichael Pollan’s 2018 bestseller How to Change Your Mind expounded on psychedelic drugs’ medical benefits and, in Pollan’s view, their unfair stigmatization. Now, Netflix has adapted his book into a four-part docuseries, hosted by Pollan, that is at times gripping and wholly convincing, and, at others, plays like a lame infomercial.

Each episode focuses on a separate psychedelic, beginning with LSD. Aside from discussing the drug’s possible medicinal uses, the first episode delves into the lives of key figures in the popularization of psychedelics, including LSD’s inventor Albert Hoffman, Aldous Huxley, and Timothy Leary, among others. There’s a lot of common knowledge here, with some notable exceptions—for instance: Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, had his miraculous epiphany to start AA while experiencing a primitive deliriant treatment, the belladonna cure.

The series gets progressively better with each episode, but the first is arguably the weakest. Pollan and his interviewees have a slightly creepy fanaticism about LSD and the perceived benefits of microdosing it. It’s a potent, unregulated, and illegal drug that

has different effects on those who take it, but Pollan elides over its potential drawbacks in the same way a sunny, upbeat TV commercial for psychoactive medication will end with a speed-read laundry list of intense, harmful side effects. There’s a certain naiveté at points throughout the series, like when proselytizing for psychedelics turns into envisioning them as the solution to all of the world’s problems.

The second episode, about the hallucinogen psilocybin, is much more successful, not least of all because psilocybin is a relatively benign drug compared to LSD. Pollan speaks with experts on the subject, and people who have experienced relief from various disorders by ingesting psilocybin under clinical supervision. Pollan cogently explores points about its judicious use, and it seems to be enormously beneficial in the right circumstances with the right people. This episode lags when an interviewee describes his drug-induced trip at length, dragging on exhaustively. Further undercutting it is a sloppy, indifferent animated version of this trip. (For truly imaginative psychedelic animation, look to something like Yellow Submarine.)

Of the first three episodes, the third, about the medical benefits of MDMA (ecstasy), is the strongest. Pollan and his interviewees make a case for using MDMA in controlled,

clinical settings to help defuse extreme cases of PTSD. Once the favored drug of ’90s ravers, MDMA appears to have life-changing potential. Wholly unlike the previous episode’s rambling digression, listening to trauma victims describe their experiences here is riveting, and testimonials about how the closely observed use of MDMA helped relieve their pain is touching and fascinating.

“How to Change Your Mind” makes many thought-provoking and intriguing points; the

“How to Change Your Mind” TV-MA, four episodes Netflix series is only middling because Pollan and his cadre of zealous experts oversell their case.

They avoid discussing how wildly different individuals’ body chemistries are and how negatively many people react to even mild substances, let alone something as strong as LSD. Psychedelics are not one-size-fits-all, chemically speaking, and if Pollan had taken a more even-handed approach, “How to Change Your Mind” might have changed far more minds on these issues.

The series gets progressively better with each episode, but the first is arguably the weakest.

2021 Viogneir The Viognier grape was almost extinct in the 1960’s, with only 35 acres growing in France, but Virginia has played a big role in its dynamic comeback. While the color and aroma may suggest a sweet wine, Viogniers are predominantly dry and are known for producing heavy aromatics with low acidity. Our 2021 vintage is fruit forward with a creamy feel and light acidity, making it delightful to sip or pair with food.

By Rob Brezsny

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my Astrological Book of Life, here’s what I have inscribed about Virgos: You may not always find the perfect solution, but you are skilled at finding the best solution available. This will be an especially valuable knack in the coming weeks, both for yourself and others. I trust you will scan for practical but compassionate answers, even if they are partial. And I hope you will address at least some of everyone’s needs, even if no one is completely satisfied.

You can be the master of creative compromise that we all need. Thanks in advance for your excellent service!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Everyone knows that “balance” is a keyword for you Librans. However, there are many interpretations of what balance entails. Here’s how I define it for you during the coming weeks: 1. An openness to consider several different ways to capitalize on an opportunity, but to ultimately choose just one way. 2. The ability to see and understand all sides of every story, while also knowing that for pragmatism’s sake you must endorse a single version of the story. 3.

The capacity to be both constructively critical and supportively sympathetic. 4. The facility to be welcoming and inviting while still maintaining healthy boundaries.

Scorpio

August 3 ­­– 9, 2022 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Life is enchanting for me because I have so much control over what I think,” my Scorpio friend Daria told me. “If I decide to flatter myself with comments about how attractive I am, I can do just that. If I would like to imagine a good fairy visiting me while I sleep and giving me a dream of having an orgasm with my lover while we fly over the Serengeti Plains, I can.” I asked her about the times when worries gush forth unbidden from her subconscious mind and disturb her joy.

She said, “I simply picture myself shoving those worries in a hole in the ground and blowing them up with an exploding rose.” I bring Daria’s mind-management expertise to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to raise your mastery over what you think.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People might impatiently advise you to relax and settle down. Others

HERE COME THE BRIDES

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Leo (23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, Leo, I urge you to always be confident that you are the party! Everywhere you go, bring the spirits of fun and revelry. Be educationally entertaining and entertainingly educational.

Amuse yourself by making life more interesting for everyone. At the same time, be kind and humble, never arrogant or insensitive. A vital part of your assignment is to nourish and inspire others with your radiance and charm. That formula will ensure you get everything you need. I foresee bounty flowing your way! PS: Regularly reward your admirers and followers with your magnanimous Chesire-cat grin.

might tell you to stop dreaming such big visions and formulating such adventurous plans. Still others might give you the side-eye because they imagine you are having too much fun and brainstorming too wildly and laughing too loudly. If you receive messages like those, give the complainers a copy of this horoscope. It will tell them that you will not comply with any inhibiting directives. Your astrologer, me, authorizes you to be as vast and venturesome and enterprising and spontaneous as you dare. In doing so, I am speaking on behalf of the cosmic rhythms. Your plucky audacity has been heavenly ordained.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In accordance with astrological omens, I hereby authorize you to worry, worry, and worry some more. Stew and simmer and ferment as you weigh all the options and mull the correct actions. But when the time is right, end your fretting with crisp decisiveness. Shake off any residual doubt that still clings to you. And then undertake robust action to transform the situation that provoked your righteous brooding. In my astrological opinion, what I have just described is your best plan for success in the coming days.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I was looking for a love unlike my parents’ love or my sister’s love or the love on a foreign kitchen floor,” writes Rebecca Dinerstein Knight in her novel The Sunlit Night. “I wanted to forgive my mother and father for their misery and find myself a light man who lived buoyantly and to be both his light and his dark.” I offer you her thoughts, Aquarius, in the hope of inspiring you to expand and deepen your ideas about the love you want. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to revise and rein-

vigorate your definitions of intimacy and togetherness. You will have extra power to see new truths about how best to create maximum synergy and symbiosis.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): “Even raw and messy emotions can be understood as a form of light, crackling and bursting with energy,” writes Jungian psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estés. For example, “We can use the light of rage in a positive way, in order to see into places we cannot usually see.” Likewise, confusion might be a healthy sign that a longheld misunderstanding is dissolving. Disappointment may herald the demise of an unrealistic expectation. So let’s unleash a big cheer for raw and messy emotions, Pisces! I suspect they will soon be your gateway to clarity and renewal.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Ada Limón advises us to notice and love “the music of the world.” She says that praising and giving attention to the good things “are as important and necessary as witnessing and naming and holding the grief and sorrow that comes with being alive.” This is always a crucial principle to keep in mind, but it will be extra essential for you in the coming weeks. Your ability to attract the influences and resources you need most will thrive if you focus on and celebrate the music of the world. PS: I encourage you to sing more than usual, too.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Here’s my hope for you in the coming months: You will cultivate a specialty for connecting people and situations that need to be affiliated but aren’t yet. You will regard your flair for blending as a gift you offer generously. Can you picture yourself

doing that? I think it will be fun and will also benefit you in unexpected ways. So here’s my proposed plan: Conspire to heal fragmentation and schisms. Unite heavenly and earthly things. Keep the far side and the near side in touch with each other. Never let the past forget about the future, and vice versa. One more thing, Taurus: Be gleefully imaginative as you mix and conjoin and combine.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): In a play by Gemini philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, a character says, “Hell is other people.” What did he mean by that? One interpretation is that our fellow humans always judge us, and their judgments rarely align with who we really are and who we imagine ourselves to be. Here’s my solution for that problem: Choose allies and companions whose views of you match your own. Is that so hard? I suspect it will be easier than usual for you in the coming months, Gemini. Take advantage of life’s natural tendency to connect you with cohorts who appreciate you. Be picky as you avoid the hell of other people.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): The people most likely to succeed as entrepreneurs are those with a high degree of analytical intelligence.

Right? Well, it’s more complicated than that.

Reasoning ability and problem-solving skills are key skills, but not as important as emotional intelligence: the power to understand and manage feelings. I mention this, Cancerian, because the coming months will be a favorable time to advance your ambitions by enhancing and expressing your emotional intelligence.

What to ask Your REALTOR® & Lender When

THE REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.C-VILLE.COM

Buying a Home

S

ex and money are the two most uncomfortable topics for most people to talk about. While your sex life can stay completely private when buying a home, there will be no secrets about your finances unless you come to the table with enough cash to close the deal.

Arguably, two of the professionals who will know more about you and your finances than any others are your REALTOR® and your mortgage lender.

The success of what may be your largest investment rests on the professional care and advice they provide. So choose wisely.

And choosing isn’t always easy. Your friends, mother-in-law, neighbors, and even Google will have an opinion and share their recommendations with you freely.

Your best course of action is to take in those opinions, do your own research

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

and explore several relationships before finding one that feels right.

Take First Steps Early There’s almost no such thing as being too prepared or too early when you are serious about buying a house. And a good first step is to research which REALTOR® and which lender you want in your corner. The more time you give yourself to prepare and work with these trusted advisers, the better your chances for success.

The first step is to choose a REALTOR®. This is a licensed real estate agent who is also a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. These agents are held to a high standard and have access to helpful market data and transaction management services. You will be served better with a REALTOR® as your partner.

Next choose a local lender. Someone you can meet with face to face.

Finally, commit to interviewing three different REALTORS® and three different lenders before recruiting your team.

Don’t Fall into the Zillow Trap Home buyers will have no problem finding information. Anyone even remotely thinking about buying a home probably has alerts set up on Zillow to be notified the moment a house in a certain area goes on the market. And lately, those alerts have even included an occasional price reduction.

Mostly those notifications are good.

The mistake comes when a buyer presses the “Contact Agent” button after seeing the perfect house on Zillow, Redfin, or any of the other online listing services.

This button puts him in touch with the listing agent of the house for sale, and sometimes a financing entity as well.

Of course, if you took the right first steps, you already have a REALTOR® and lender on your team, so you won’t

be tempted to push that button!

REALTOR® Shann Whited with Avenue Realty, LLC, warns against this scenario. “A buyer should not use the listing agent. The listing agent’s primary focus is the seller. As a buyer, you need representation too. If you go with the listing agent, no one has your back.”

Buying a home almost always involves negotiation. So make sure you choose your own agent, someone who knows you and understands your concerns.

That way, when it comes time to work out the terms of your purchase contract, you are represented by someone who is familiar with your interests and negotiates on your behalf.

Ask: Do you work primarily with buyers or with sellers?

Experience Pays With about a thousand transactions under her belt, Cynthia Hash, Broker with Find Homes Realty, LLC, says, “Ex-

Know the Neighborhood

an expert in too broad an area is bound to dilute an agent’s performance. Having a REALTOR® who recognizes his limits is critical.

If a buyer is committed to a specific neighborhood, it’s easy enough to find a REALTOR® with significant experience in that area. If a buyer is looking regionally, things can get a little more complicated.

Whited explains, “My areas of expertise are Charlottesville and the seven surrounding counties. That is where I focus. However, I sold a home in Culpeper because I was working with a client interested in central Virginia and we ultimately found the home they loved outside of these seven counties. I sought and received assistance from my network of fellow REALTORS® in Culpeper to

assure my client got the best deal and service possible.

“Recently, an agent from Northern Virginia came down to look at a condo in Pantops to use while his son was attending UVA. He didn’t know the area and didn’t have access to the unit. He made no effort to engage local agents.

Ultimately, he wasn’t successful because he wasn’t networking and using referrals.

Even though information is at our fingertips instantaneously, trying to be

perience pays. Whether a buyer’s agent or a seller’s agent, the number of transactions a REALTOR® has personally closed (not including their team or brokerage) represents all the different scenarios she has successfully navigated. And the number of transactions the agent has personally closed in the last 12 months, can tell you how current that REALTOR® is with today’s market conditions.”

Whited agrees. “If an agent has only closed one transaction in the past year or two, you may not be getting someone who is caught up on today’s trends. Additionally, their contacts might be stale and outdated.”

Beyond just numbers, an agent’s training reveals their interests and level of expertise in different markets. Certified Residential Specialist; Graduate, REALTOR® Institute; Seniors Real Estate Specialist; Accredited Buyers’ Representative…each of these designations indicates that the agent achieved advanced training in the specific subject area.

Hash says, “Knowing what designations and certifications an agent has earned is important but understanding how that extra education affects their ability to help their clients is even more important.”

Ask: How many transactions have you personally closed in your career and over the past 12 months? What additional designations do you have and how will that help me?

Free Admission • Free Parking Free Shuttle Buses From High School and Young Farmers Grounds

If your agent is a text and FaceTime addict and you’re still working off the last flip phone, this relationship may be doomed from the start. Beyond a basic comfort level with technology, the REALTOR®-client relationship must be compatible in pace, timelines, working with team members, general style, and ways of doing business.

Asking whether an agent is full-time or part-time is an oft-recommended question. While it’s important to understand the level of attention that you will receive, a full-time agent who is overbooked with clients may be no better than a part-timer with you as an only client.

“If you find a motivated seller willing to negotiate, reducing the purchase price may not be the best option.”

Similarly, an agent with a host of partners, from administrative staff to a broker and fellow REALTORS®, may be more responsive than a solo act with no one else available to handle emergencies or to show a new listing as soon as it comes on the market.

The client who hires a team may get better service than one who must rely on the attention of just one agent.

Ask: Are you a full-time REALTOR® and how many clients are you serving now? Do you work alone or with a team?

How will we stay in touch during the purchase process and how often will I hear from you?

Being inquisitive before you enter a relationship is just as important on the financing side. Many of the questions you will pose to REALTORS® before choosing them to represent you will also apply to mortgage lenders.

Again, the best strategy is to interview several different mortgage lenders from different types of institutions before getting pre-approved. Direct lenders (banks), mortgage brokers, and nonbank mortgage lenders are three options.

Always include your local financial institution in one of those interviews. A local lender has the advantage of already having a relationship with you, having a clear understanding of the local real estate market and specific local quirks, and likely using local appraisers and other partners.

A local appraiser is very familiar with this market and can make adjustments for how it is trending. That gives them an advantage over a national company that lacks the same local awareness.

Ask each of the lenders what type of mortgage is best for your situation— conventional, fixed-rate or adjustable, or government-backed loans. And ask if you qualify for down payment assistance programs.

Buyers should also ask about closing costs and other fees that will be included in the loan or due at closing.

Recruit Problem Solvers The best-case scenario for buyers is to partner with advisors who make the buying process smooth and easy. Buying a home doesn’t always go without a hitch.

That’s why Hash suggests that buyers ask both lenders and REALTORS® the same question. “Buyers should ask, ‘On a scale from one to ten, how would you rate yourself as a successful problem solver?’

Invariably, problems will arise during the search or purchase. You want a team that has experience solving problems quickly and successfully.”

The easiest response to a problem isn’t always the most advantageous. Richard Dyas, Senior Loan Officer with All Credits Mortgage in Charlottesville, gives the example of restructuring a sale to benefit the buyer. “If you find a motivated seller willing to negotiate, reducing the purchase price may not be the best option.

If the seller puts that concession towards paying points, the buyer can save on their monthly payments or qualify for a higher mortgage amount.”

A team of problem-solvers will lead to greater success earlier.

Trusting Your Team Ultimately, the most important questions might be the ones you ask yourself.

Jay Domenic, Mortgage Loan Officer with Towne Mortgage, sees many wouldbe buyers delay and second-guess themselves and the market. “Holding out for a better mortgage rate or a lower purchase price almost never pays off. If you want to buy a house and are financially ready, now is the best time to buy. Ask yourself what you can comfortably afford, not how much you qualify for. Focus on your payment and whether you can afford it.

Then find the lender and REALTOR® who can help make that happen.”

The best results come when a buyer and their advisors are committed to each other. Whited says, “The past two years have been tough on buyers. Dwindling inventory, rising prices, and rising mortgage rates…all make the buying process much more difficult. A buyer needs to have someone in their corner they trust will give them the best advice and who is committed to their success.

“The critical question is, ‘Do you trust this person with one of the most important purchases of your life?’”

If the answer is yes, then feel confident moving forward with your team to get just the right house for you.
