It’s become undeniable this year: Confinement and isolation are serious business. As I’ve sat in my house for these last 10 months, I’ve felt friendships fade and time blur; I’ve felt lonely and stir-crazy and sad. And this is the cushiest possible form of isolation—the U.S. never entered a lockdown on par with other countries. My basic needs are more than satisfied. I can go to the store or the park or get a coffee any time I want. And it’s still brutal.

This perspective is worth keeping in mind as you read the story on page 10, in which incarcerated people describe the current state of affairs in the AlbemarleCharlottesville Regional Jail. In this country, we punish people by locking them up. This is because the system believes they’re a danger to those around them, but also because the system has decided that some period of confinement and isolation is a suitable punishment for all manner of crimes.

Whether or not you agree with those premises, the letters featured in our story this week reveal that in practice, we’ve sentenced these people to so much more than confinement.

Life in prison means fear, discomfort, disrespect, bad food, and, with increasing likelihood, disease. How to make the punishment fit the crime is a thorny question, and I won’t pretend I have a coherent answer. But after reading a stack of letters from our local jail, I can say with certainty that right now, the balance is off.—Ben Hitchcock

Letters from jail PAGE 10

IN BRIEF

An area man was arrested this week for bringing a gun and 37 rounds of unregistered ammunition near the U.S. Capitol complex on Sunday, reports the Washington Post. Guy Berry, a 22-year-old Gordonsville resident and truck driver who attended Monticello High School, is “one of those open-carry people,” says his aunt in the Post piece. Berry is not the first Virginian to be arrested at the Capitol since January 6—last week, a Front Royal man was caught trying to make it through the secure perimeter with fake identification and huge amounts of ammunition.

No more death penalty?

FILE PHOTO

On January 9, 18-year-old Xzavier Hill of Charlottesville was killed by Virginia State Police on I-64 in Goochland County. Police claim Hill, who is Black, led them on a high-speed chase and pulled out a gun when they approached his car, but his family says the dash-cam footage proves that there was no chase, and he was unarmed.

The family is now petitioning VSP to release the footage to the public.

After more than 15 hours of emergency closed meetings, Charlottesville City Council announced last Thursday that it had selected a new city manager: Chip Boyles, executive director of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission.

John Blair, who has served as interim city manager for nearly three months, is leaving Charlottesville to become Staunton’s city attorney. His last day as acting city manager is February 12.

Before moving to Charlottesville in 2014, Boyles served as assistant city manager and city manager in three cities, including Clemson, South Carolina.

During a virtual press conference, the councilors emphasized that Boyles, who’s headed the planning district for seven years, would bring much-needed stability to a city government left in the lurch after a string of high-profile departures.

“Chip has been in the community for a number of years, but he hasn’t been in any organization and will provide us an opportunity to look at any issues...through a neutral lens,” said Mayor Nikuyah Walker. “Being able to bring a new and fresh perspective to the organization will allow us to heal and actually be able to get some of the work that we have all promised to do done.”

The councilors also acknowledged their own role in fueling the city’s instability, and the need to rebuild trust

and communication with each other, as well as with city staff and the community.

Earlier this month, the recruitment firm hired to find a new manager cut ties with Charlottesville, and the firm’s principal claimed he had “never seen a level of dysfunction as profound as what he was seeing here.”

After learning about Blair’s impending departure, the councilors decided to expedite the search process, and choose a qualified manager on their own. However, they stressed that they were not trying to set a “precedent” of making decisions behind closed doors, and would begin a public city manager search, likely in 2022.

“We are looking at one and a half to two years,” said Councilor Sena Magill. “It’s that balance of making sure [Boyles] has enough time to get the stabilization in place, as well as making sure it doesn’t go too long without public input.”

Boyles said his top priority is to fill all the vacant city leadership positions, including a Neighborhood Development Services director, three deputy city managers, and executive director for the Police Civilian Review Board.

While Boyles’ appointment has received praise, it’s also drawn criticism from community activists and members who petitioned for the city to bring back former city manager Dr. Tarron Richardson, who resigned in September.

“It’s that balance of making sure [Boyles] has enough time to get the stabilization in place, as well as making sure it doesn’t go too long without public input.”­ CITY COUNCILOR SENA MAGILL

City gets a new manager

@cville_weekly

Senator Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax) is the chief patron of the death penalty bill that’s moving thorugh the General Assembly.

Chip Boyles’ first day as Charlottesville’s new city manager is February 15.

January 20 –26, 2021 c-ville.com

The death penalty is one step closer to being abolished in Virginia. With a 10-4 vote, the state Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill on Monday that would eliminate the practice. Those in support of the bill—including Governor Ralph Northam—argue that death penalty sentences are disproportionately given to Black people, while others who oppose the repeal believe the penalty should still be reserved for people who murder law enforcement. In last year’s session, a death penalty abolition bill was voted down in subcommittee, so this week’s vote represents a key step forward.

Deja vu Local activists and leaders on how to move forward after chaos

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

T

wo weeks ago, the far-right riot at the U.S. Capitol—fueled by President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the election—shocked people across the world. But for many, it was a familiar scene. As the country looks ahead to a new administration and beyond, Charlottesville’s leaders and activists have hard-won advice for President Joe Biden. “[The January 6 siege] is the same horrific play we’ve seen over and over again in this country,” says community activist Don Gathers, who was at the infamous 2017 Unite the Right rally. “So much of the opening act of that play looked just like Charlottesville, where the police stood by and did nothing.”

For weeks, watchdog groups and activists repeatedly warned law enforcement that Trump supporters’ plans to violently storm the Capitol—and assault, kidnap, and even kill members of Congress—were posted across social media.

Despite these warnings, the Capitol Police anticipated a crowd in only the “low thousands,” and prepared for “small, disparate violent events,” according to Representative Jason Crow.

So, like in Charlottesville, police on the scene were massively unprepared for the thousands of people who showed up to Trump’s rally. Insurgents later overpowered the police and stormed the building, resulting in dozens of injuries and five deaths.

“It’s not like they were secretive...It was all over the internet,” says community activist Ang Conn, who was also at the Unite the Right rally.

Before August 11 and 12, 2017, members of the far-right also openly discussed their plans to incite violence and threatened local residents online, as well as held a few smaller “test” rallies in Charlottesville, says Conn. Local activists continuously alerted law enforcement and urged the city to stop the event from happening, but were not taken seriously.

“The people who were supposed to be keeping the peace had all of this information given to them and they ignored it,” says Tyler Magill, who was hit on the neck with a tiki torch during the Unite the Right rally, later causing him to have a stroke.

Video evidence also shows several Capitol officers moving barricades to allow rioters to get closer to the building, as well as one taking a selfie with a member of the far-right mob. Some rioters were members of law enforcement themselves, including two off-duty Virginia police officers.

Thousands of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Shopping local boosted area businesses’ holiday sales

Amanda Stevens, owner of Shenanigans Toy Store, appreciated the local support this winter.

ministrator Amy Melville, crediting both its loyal customer base and “semi-local” tourists within driving distance.

“Overall, our sales are running about three-quarters of normal, which is enough to keep us going—as a co-op, we’re staffed by our artists as volunteers,” says Melville.

“Jewelry has always been our top seller, but this year it’s been less jewelry and more wall art. People are going out less, and they’re home more.”

One local business that relies heavily on the holidays is Michie Tavern. Its Yuletide Dinner has been a popular Charlottesville fixture for 38 years—until 2020. “So many of our regulars told us, ‘We’re really going to miss that event,’ so we came up with a completely different menu as a takeout version,” says Chief Operating Officer Sam Morris. “It was so well supported by the community; it went really well for us.”

With office parties and bus tours shut down for the foreseeable future, Morris is thinking of new ways to offer special holiday events: “I’m just thankful for the community support, and for our dedicated staff here.”

January, a traditionally a slow month for retail, looks to be even slower as the pandemic continues—so businesses hope customers will continue to shop local.

@cville_weekly

harlottesville has always been good about supporting local businesses, but it was even more so this year,” says Amanda Stevens, owner of Shenanigans toy store. With the pandemic grinding the country’s economy to a halt, many area businesses saw the holidays as a make-or-break period. And several retailers say residents’ efforts to shop local this winter did result in a much-needed boom.

“Even customers not in the market for toys or games were buying small things like stocking gifts,” says Stevens. “And people came in the week before Christmas saying, ‘Thank God you’re open!’ because what they ordered online somewhere else wasn’t going to arrive by Christmas.”

Shenanigans also beefed up its online presence, which paid off. “We had to invest in more shelving in the back for storage of our online and delivery orders,” Stevens notes. Pandemic big sellers included games, crafts, marble runs, and air forts. “People want something interactive, that they can do at home together,” she says. “And what I’m hearing is that kids don’t want to look at a screen after all that online school time.”

Jennifer Mowad, owner of artisan chocolate shop Cocoa & Spice, tried “not to have expectations about this holiday season, given how the year went.” Last year, she had to take a full-time job (as a COVID investigator for the Blue Ridge Health District), which meant hiring a store manager. But Cocoa & Spice had a strong December. “People made an effort to shop local, and our shipping orders doubled.”

Mowad also credits her York Place landlord, who worked with all his tenants to help them stay open.

Independent bookstore New Dominion told customers in October to shop early, and they got the message. “Our regulars came out strongly to support us,” says Marketing Director Sarah Crossland. “And we had new customers too, who wanted to keep Charlottesville businesses going.”

From past experience, Crossland says, “we set our online ordering deadlines to take into account potential trouble with shipping services.” Lots of shipping orders and a record number of gift card sales helped New Dominion have a strong holiday season.

C’ville Arts, an arts-and-crafts cooperative, usually relies more on tourist traffic than on the holiday rush. But this year, “our December sales were about twice November’s,” says ad-

January 20 –26, 2021 c-ville.com

The scene at the Capitol serves as a stark contrast to the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests last year, during which police deployed tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and other types of force against thousands of people, and made over 10,000 arrests.

“If Black and brown folks were to do that exact same thing [at the Capitol], we would be dead,” says Conn.

Now, those who were present for the Unite the Right rally say a key to moving forward is to hold the perpetrators accountable.

Since January 6, federal authorities have arrested around 100 people, and say they could arrest hundreds more.

“This cannot be seen as anything other than armed insurrection,” says City Councilor Sena Magill, speaking solely for herself. “It needs to be very clear that people who participated in this need to be prosecuted, and not lightly. ...Representatives who instigated this also need to be held accountable.”

Tyler Magill says it’s crucial to expand our definition of white supremacy. “We as a society just don’t take far right extremists seriously,” he says. “We think of it as rednecks [and] trailer park people when it’s not—it’s everybody. The people at the Capitol riot tended to be middle class and above, and the same happened in Charlottesville.”

Other activists have warned that arrests or the threat of arrests will not be enough to deter far-right extremism on—and after—Inauguration Day, pointing to white supremacist calls for violence online.

“We know that they’re not finished,” says Gathers. “I’m fearful for what may happen on the 20th of January, not only in D.C. but really all across the county.”

And though Biden’s inauguration, and the end of Trump’s term, will be a cathartic moment for many, Conn emphasizes that it won’t solve our problems overnight. After the inauguration, she anticipates more white supremacist violence across the country, and says she doesn’t expect President Biden to handle the situation in the best possible manner. Instead, she fears the new administration will ramp up its counterterrorism programs, which are “typically anti-Muslim and anti-Black,” she says.

“The change of the administration doesn’t change the fact that the system of white supremacy is embedded in the fabric of what we call America,” she explains. “We cannot expect [anything from] an administration that condemns uprisings stemming from state violence against Black and brown folks but calls for unity without resolve.”

Gathers also does not agree with the calls for unity made after the riot. “You can’t and shouldn’t negotiate with terrorists, and that’s who we seem to be dealing with,” he says.

However, both activists hope that now more people will not only see white supremacy as a serious threat, but actively work to dismantle it.

“We’ve got to figure out how to change not only laws, but hearts and minds,” says Gathers. “If what we saw [at the Capitol]... and in Charlottesville in 2017 wasn’t enough to turn people around, I’m not sure what it’s going to take.”

‘I was not sentenced to death by virus’ Stories of disturbing COVID containment procedures at regional jail

By Brielle Entzminger reporter@c-ville.com

January 20 –26, 2021 c-ville.com

@cville_weekly

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Keeping the outside out The problems with COVID containment begin at intake.

One woman reports that when she was brought to the jail in September, she was put in a cell by herself that had not been cleaned, and was not allowed to take a shower. When she asked for cleaning supplies, staff claimed they could not find any for her to use. (Most of the incarcerated people who

SKYCLAD AERIAL

“W

e are treated like animals, and are told that we have no rights, and we sure feel like we don’t,” reads the final paragraph of the letter. “I have great concern for the safety of myself and others here at [the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail].”

The handwriting, in pencil, is large, legible, soft; the paper’s rounded corners and jagged left edge hint that it was ripped from a composition book. The letter details the jail’s cleaning procedures, or lack thereof. “All inmates in lockdown blocks share one shower. ...The green cleaning rags are washed with dirty mopheads. ...You have to eat, sleep, and work in the same clothes all day.”

This letter is not unique. Since the fall, the Charlottesville chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has been corresponding by mail with two dozen people incarcerated in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Around the country, jails, prisons, and detention centers have been hit hard by COVID-19. For incarcerated people in the United States, the infection rate is three times higher than that of the general public, while the mortality rate is twice as high. At least 275,000 have tested positive for the virus, and over 1,700 have died.

Locally, 12 incarcerated people and 10 staff members have tested positive for coronavirus since the start of the pandemic, says ACRJ Superintendent Colonel Martin Kumer. The jail currently reports one incarcerated person and two staff members with active COVID cases.

But in the letters collected by the DSA, and in interviews with C-VILLE, ACRJ’s incarcerated people tell of a terrified jail population, disrespectful guards, and insufficient COVID containment procedures.

People incarcerated at the ACRJ report unsanitary conditions and poor COVID containment procedures.

communicated with DSA and C-VILLE for this story requested anonymity out of fear that speaking up could lead to punishment inside the jail.)

Over the next two weeks, the woman says she was moved three times into cell blocks that had also not been cleaned, before finally being put into a quarantine area with two other people for another two weeks.

“This is deliberate indifference by the facility, from the top down,” she says. “They are ignoring conditions of confinement that are likely to cause a serious, life-threatening illness.”

A different letter writer reports that he contracted COVID while quarantining on his way in. When people are first brought into the jail, they are screened for COVID-19 symptoms and exposure. People who are symptomatic or have had a recent exposure are tested for coronavirus, while those who have no symptoms are put into a quarantine unit for two weeks.

Placed in a quarantine pod with 11 men, the letter writer describes catching the virus from a man who was asymptomatic. When he—and several others—began to develop severe symptoms, he says the nurses ignored him for several days before finally moving

him to the medical unit, where he reports receiving further inadequate treatment.

Though he recovered from the virus, it has left him with brain fog and memory issues.

After the initial screening period, incoming incarcerated people join the general population and are not tested again unless they show severe symptoms. The last time the jail tested the full population and staff members was in September.

“Large-scale facility-wide COVID tests are only conducted when an outbreak has occurred,” says Kumer. “We have been fortunate that we have not experienced an outbreak that would warrant a large-scale test.

“Testing asymptomatic, non-exposed staff or inmates...would [also] yield a false sense of security, since a person could contract and shed the virus in between testing, or test negative today, only to be exposed or contract the virus tomorrow,” he adds. “We have to operate on the assumption that everyone is positive and wear PPE and take universal precautions whenever possible.”

“While the jail has sort of touted their preventative measures, and what a good job they’ve done...it seems like they’ve actually done the bare minimum just to keep people

from dying in droves,” says Melissa, a DSA member who has been writing and receiving letters from the jail, and who asked that we not use her last name out of fear of retaliation.

The jail has taken some substantive steps to reduce its population. ACRJ has drastically expanded its Home Electronic Incarceration program, allowing people to be removed from the jail early and serve out the rest of their sentences from home, while wearing an ankle monitor. Before the pandemic, an average of 430 people were housed in the jail, with only three to five on HEI. Now, the jail population has dropped to as low as 300, with an average of 65 to 75 people on HEI, says Kumer. As of January 18, there are currently 345 people incarcerated at ACRJ, a majority of them ineligible for HEI due to their charges or convictions.

But even with the reduced population, it’s impossible to socially distance inside the jail, where people are constantly moved around, says Jennifer Hughes, who has been incarcerated at ACRJ since December 2019.

“The [cells] stay open all day until night time, when you have to go to sleep, but… [they’re] not very big,” says Hughes, who is

“It should be illegal how the jails and commonwealth do and treat people, all they want is as many convictions from people for their own personal gratification and don’t care about people lifes or families.”

currently housed in a closed cell block. “If you put your foot off the [bunk] bed, you could put your foot in the toilet—it’s that tight.”

And Kumer confirms that social distancing is also not enforced in common spaces.

“When the food comes, we’re expected to eat at a bench. Right now, there’s six people in the area I’m in, and you can maybe get six inches from the next person. You’re basically elbow-to-elbow eating,” says another incarcerated woman.

‘Nasty’

Letters sent from the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail last fall.

Multiple incarcerated people report the jail staff taking a lackadaisical at best approach to COVID prevention.

“Half of these officers wear masks at their own discretion,” says Hughes. “They’ll come into our pods, take their masks off, and start coughing and making jokes. It’s really not funny.”

“The guards hardly ever have the mask on properly, they constantly pull them down,” reads one letter.

Some of the writers report officer misbehavior unrelated to COVID. “The COs are very disrespectful at night,” reads another letter, “slamming on the doors every 15 minutes to ½ hours at night all night long.”

In addition to the close quarters, incarcerated people report that the jail itself is in poor physical condition. The older part of the jail, where the women are currently housed, was built in the 1970s.

“It’s so nasty in here,” says Hughes. “The paint is peeling off. We have bugs in here biting us. There’s springs hanging out of the wall. There’s pieces of iron sticking out.

If you’re not careful, it’ll hit your feet and it’s sharp.”

In their letters, women report black mold and mildew in the vents, as well as faulty wiring, freezing temperatures, and standing water. And because there are no call buttons in the older part of the jail, the women have to yell and bang on the doors whenever they need help.

“We had an emergency in here today with a woman that has high sugar. It took a good five minutes of hollering, banging, and waving frantically at the camera to get anyone’s attention,” wrote one woman. “Good thing no one was dying.”

Kumer admits the older section of the building is “in desperate need of renovation.”

The men, housed in a newer part of the jail which was built in 2000, have also reported a range of sanitary issues in their cell blocks, including bug infestations, heating outages, and dirty vents.

One trustee, who works on a cleaning detail in exchange for a reduced sentence, reports receiving only one cleaning rag and watered-down solution to clean an entire cell block, which includes bunks, toilet, and shower.

According to Kumer, the cleaning solution used at the jail is approved by CDC to kill the coronavirus, and is properly diluted.

“The showers in my block have not been cleaned in over three weeks,” reports one man. Another letter writer puts it bluntly: “The sanitation or lack thereof is appalling.”

“It is not feasible to force any resident to wear a mask, although it is encouraged... since the majority of our facility is open air and dormitory in nature,” says Kumer. “Unless residents also wear their mask properly while they sleep, it’s not as effective as it otherwise could be. ...Staff are required and if necessary disciplined if they are not wearing their PPE.” Multiple letter writers accused the jail’s medical team of not taking pre-existing ailments seriously, failing to provide people with the treatments they need.

“The medical care is a joke,” wrote one woman. “I have serious medical issues. I was not sentenced to death by virus.”

“Medical is very neglectful in here and don’t care what people’s needs are and there are issues that many people have,” wrote one man. “I’m diabetic, it took me 10 months to convince them that I’m a diabetic in need of diabetic meds + insulin...I could have died of a heart attack.”

And on top of their physical ailments, those held in the jail report suffering from acute loneliness and boredom.

Throughout the pandemic, the jail has allowed everyone to have two free phone calls and emails per week. However, it has banned visitation.

“We are the only jail that don’t have tablets [and] video visits…We have not seen our families in almost a year,” wrote one man.

“Once a week we have people from the outside deliver our commissary items,” wrote another man. “How come we have people from the street in here with us every day, but we can’t have visitors behind the glass?”

Because the jail has canceled all programming, people are “really bored,” adds Melissa. “Many of the books they have access to have missing pages, they’re all old...There’s just nothing for them to do.”

According to Kumer, the jail is working to provide video visitation, but programming and in-person visitation currently pose too great a safety hazard.

“I haven’t had a visit in at least nine months, but other jails have tablets and video visits. What makes us different?” reads one letter. “Thank you for responding back to me, I was starting to think I was forgot about.”

“I hope they do start some type of visitation soon,” says another letter. “It’s been almost a year since I last seen my baby’s.”

While Melissa, along with her fellow DSA activists, hopes ACRJ leadership will work to remedy the dire issues voiced by incarcerated people, she believes the solution is not a matter of funding—but of massively lowering the jail population.

“They should release people…so they can provide adequate care for the people in their system,” she says. “Increasing their budget will not resolve these issues. They will continue to treat these people as if they’re not worth anything, and their lives don’t matter.”

“It is a damn shame to be treated like fucking trash and not cared for or any care any at all. People can turn their heads and look the other way, but it ain’t them or happening to them,” ends one letter. “There is no justice anymore.”

CULTURE FEEDBACK

Guest of the artist Local rapper Fellowman releases Death of the Author along with digital performance

By Shea Gibbs arts@c-ville.com

January 20 –26, 2021 c-ville.com

ZACK WAJSGRAS

ullen Wade considers himself a guest in the house of hip-hop. And he’s trying to make the most of his visit.

Going by the name of Fellowman, the Charlottesville emcee recently dropped a new LP and performed it in its entirety during a late December Facebook livestream. The 12-track collection, Death of the Author, is an ambitious concept album from a rapper and producer who’s made only one other full-length project.

“It’s the most personal thing I’ve done,” Fellowman says. “I think it’s the first time when I haven’t been trying to impress anybody. Being a rapper is competitive...A lot of what I have done in the past has been motivated by go-for-the-throatism. I wanted to put honesty over technique.”

And indeed, Death of the Author feels more real than Fellowman’s first record, Raw Data Vol. 1: Soul of the Shitty. Where Raw features smooth, bouncy flows—Fellowman says he’s always studied Method Man’s delivery— Death brings a more staccato, edgy style that would fit right in on a Run the Jewels track.

Conceptually, the new album pays tribute to 14 of Fellowman’s deceased musical heroes. He honors rappers, sure, like Mobb Deep’s Prodigy and TLC’s Left Eye Lopes.

But Death is also a homage to punks like Joe Strummer and folk singers Phil Ochs and Victor Jara.

The idea, Fellowman says, was to explore his own attachment to musicians who’ve passed. The release of the album during a pandemic, when death is so readily on folks’ minds, was almost entirely a coincidence.

“I think Prince’s death in 2016—that was one of the celebrity deaths that hit me hardest. I was really upset about it,” Fellowman says. “My sister was asking me, ‘How can you be so broken up over the death of someone you’ve never met?’ And rather than dismiss the question, I wanted to kind of pick it apart.”

Nine Pillars Hiphop Cultural Fest co-founder Cullen “Fellowman” Wade made his new album, Death of the Author, as a tribute to a broad range of influences, from hip-hop to pop to folk, that he felt a deep connection to.

What does Fellowman come up with after exploring the topic? He hopes Death of the Author makes listeners think about the “intersection of music and our own biographies.” In “Waterfalls,” Fellowman tells the story of memorizing and privately performing Lopes’ verse from TLC’s chart-topping track of the same name. It was the first time he thought he himself could be a rapper.

In Fellowman’s new version of the song, he again performs Lopes’ verse word-for-word— and this time publicly. He also borrows the “Waterfalls” beat in its original form. “With the Left Eye tribute, it was really important to try to recreate that moment,” Fellowman says. “Most of the songs are built around samples of the artist I’m eulogizing. It was whatever seemed right for the occasion.”

The idea, Fellowman says, was to explore his own attachment to musicians who’ve passed.

The activist influence of Ochs, Jara, and others weaves throughout Fellowman’s lyrics—on Death of the Author and in his other recordings. The emcee is as comfortable pillorying the soon-to-be former White House occupant and bemoaning climate change as he is dropping pop culture references and clever turns of phrase. For a little from both columns, check the track “Run Straight Down (for Warren Zevon)”: “They say solutions

GABRIEL OFIESH

need to be bipartisan / I watch the news and wonder what it cost to buy partisan.”

Fellowman explores the friction between corporate America and consumers in his rhymes, something he comes by honestly as a Monticello High School audio/video production teacher who long ago recognized his musical styling doesn’t have mass commercial appeal.

Last year’s December 26 Facebook livestream, which was also broadcast locally on WTJU, gave viewers a chance to donate to Operation Social Equality Mental Wellness Resource Center, a support hub for people of color. The production had a lo-fi feel, with Fellowman opening his performance singing and playing acoustic guitar, something he says he’s never done for a hip-hop show. A few technical issues caused early stumbling blocks, but Fellowman and his guests found their groove on the mic and between songs.

“It’s weird trying to perform with no audience,” Fellowman says. “You get no feedback—verbal and non-verbal. It can feel like yelling into the void. The way I approached it was sort of more like ‘an evening with.’”

Viewers queuing up the livestream are likely to notice why Fellowman considers himself a guest of the hip-hop scene. He’s a white rapper. And while that’s not as big a deal as it was 20 years ago when Marshall Mathers went pop, it’s something Fellowman wants to be respectful of.

“It’s a conversation that isn’t had as much as it should be anymore,” he says. “I have always approached it like I’m a guest. I absolutely acknowledge hip-hop as being an African American art form and I don’t want to ever be perceived as claiming ownership or unequivocal belonging. As soon as you start to act as if you have a sort of pass is when your pass gets revoked...If you are a guest in someone’s house, you follow their rules. You don’t put your feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk.”

huck Pinnell found his calling right out of high school, when his love of art and crafting drew him to leather as a medium. After learning the trade in a harness shop in Colonial Williamsburg during the Bicentennial, he later moved to Middleburg to take over a tack repair business, mending saddles and other pieces for horse riders.

Pinnell faced a steep learning curve. Until then, he’d only joined pieces by hand.

“They gave me a huge pile of horse blankets to repair and said, ‘Here is the sewing machine, and by the way it’s broken so you’ll have to fix it first,’ so I had to jump in the deep end,” recalls Pinnell, chuckling.

The tack shop’s client base was a boon for business, and Pinnell quickly found his footing, crafting pairs of chaps and halfchaps by the hundreds. Then, in the ’90s, ready-made versions changed the market.

“I diversified into wallets and belts and other things,” he says, “and hired people to design and fabricate metal work as well.” After a stint in downtown Charlottesville in a space next to the C&O Restaurant, Pinnell and his wife Ginny moved the business out to quiet, pastoral western Albemarle.

“The shop was originally the Mechums River railroad depot used during the Civil War,” says Pinnell, “which was torn down in the 1930s and rebuilt out here as a peach packing facility.” Functioning as both home and workplace, the building features a beamed-ceiling showroom and a vast workshop filled with cutting tables, machines, tools, and the warm smell of

leather. “We work with American alligator, lizard, snake skins, and of course cowhide,” says Pinnell. “We source from Italy, Germany, France—really, pulling resources from around the world.”

There’s no sign outside and Pinnell doesn’t advertise, but his work volume remains consistently high and current orders have a threeto-four-month lead time. He also repairs and restores leather goods. “I’ve got two guys who work here with me and two others who do the buckles and engraving work from home, and my wife does the books and the displays,” he says. Pinnell has a small studio where he photographs every project and files the images in thick binders for customers to browse for inspiration.

Each piece in the showroom invites customers to run their fingers over the supple leather, intricate patterns, and precise stitching. “Every project is unique,” says Pinnell, and his personal style is evident on the work bags, purses, belts, gun holsters, chaps, and watch bands that festoon the place. “Nowadays because of COVID-19, people are at home doing needlepoint and we are making a tremendous number of needlepoint bags and belts,” he says. “They send in their projects from around the country and we turn them into usable items.”

Pinnell’s projects take time and close attention—an ammunition bag might require 30 hours to complete, a pair of custom half-chaps with a cut-flower design and a column of fringe perhaps 40 hours. His prices reflect that labor, but customers keep returning for the care and quality of his craftsmanship. “I’d like to downsize but it’s not working,” he says with a grin.

Chuck Pinnell’s personal style is evident in the leather bags and belts he crafts in his western Albemarle shop.

Asado Wing & Taco Company

Silk Thai Restaurant

Quarantine has made me a Thai food connoisseur. It has become my comfort food of choice, and I find myself craving it just about every other week. Silk Thai is my favorite, thanks to its reasonable prices, hefty portions, and authentic taste. I alternate between the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and pad see ew, but I always make sure to add an order of summer rolls with shrimp. They contain shrimp, cucumber, carrots, lettuce, and are served with a side of sweet peanut dipping sauce. They add a fresh element to my typically savory-heavy meal.

I recently opted for the pad Thai and it did not disappoint. The portion was enough for three days, and the sauce on the noodles was not too sweet or too bland, like at other places I have tried.

I ordered takeout off the website, and picked it up myself. I’ve learned picking up is better than outside food delivery, because they often up-charge customers and may gip restaurants of their profits.

Silk Thai’s parking lot was a bit chaotic, but I was also impatient because I was hungry.—Madison McNamee

Wings and tacos seem to make absolutely zero sense together. But Asado makes this odd combination crazy delicious, and it’s been doing takeout since early spring, when quarantine began. I ordered online, and chose the traditional buffalo, which fully embraces the wings and taco combination. It contains a choice of fried cauliflower, grilled or fried chicken or shrimp, bleu cheese crumbles, pico de gallo, peppercorn ranch, and cheddar jack cheese for $5.58. The fusion of cuisines in this one meal pleases my indecisiveness when stuck between menu items.

My friend ordered the cauliflower wings, and fries with ranch. As if wings and tacos weren’t already a weird mix, Asado also manages to excel at fries. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the veggie wings, as the restaurant messed up and gave her chicken wings instead.

Fortunately, she is not a vegetarian, and we devoured them. Asado is typically a

lively spot to meet friends on the UVA Corner, and I can’t say takeout was as enjoyable as dining in, but it still was a delicious experience.—Madison McNamee

@cville_culture

I never joined the sourdough starter obsession or got on the bread-making bandwagon of quarantine. Luckily, MarieBette Café & Bakery has me covered. The shop’s baked goods are so remarkable that my dad asks me to bring him bread in northern Virginia. (He freezes loaves so that every day he is able to have a slice for his morning toast.) The rest of Charlottesville seems to be equally obsessed—the line is frequently out the door at the Rose Hill Drive location. (If you want to save time, the bakery offers takeout with an online order option.)

I went on a Friday morning, expecting an extensive wait, but there was only one person ahead of me. I ordered an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a baguette, as well as a croissant and prezzant, a combination pretzel/croissant, to split with a friend. The prezzant is just about the most delectable pastry I have ever had, and I

The essence of fine dining lies just as much in the experience and the presentation as it does in the cooking methodology—which is why I’d been wary of opting for takeout when it comes to elevated cuisine. But after an anxiety-ridden week, I decided that a bit of indulgence was in order. I turned to Ivy Inn for a celebratory meal, picking items from the menu that would conjure a taste of home. The shrimp ’n grits appetizer provided a quintessential Southern flare, while the grilled lamb chops entrée was a subtle nod to my Lebanese heritage. The shrimp ’n grits were served up with a nice twist—crispy onion rings on top—and, while it wasn’t noted on the menu, hints of what I believe to be pimento cheese rounded out the dish nicely. The grilled lamb chops were cooked to perfection, tender with just the right amount of pink per my request for medium rare. What struck me about this dish was the attention to detail when it came to seasoning. The meat was accented with just the right amount of spice, so that its flavor was enhanced— not overpowered. Plus, it was served alongside an airy cut of rosemary focaccia and a seasonally flavored bed of couscous, butternut squash, almonds, and tomato-garlic jus. While there’s no substitute for the ambiance of dining out, Ivy Inn was diligent in its to-go packaging, keeping the food warm, and making it an intuitive process to replicate the plating on your own.—Desiré Moses

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “My business is circumference,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson in a letter to her mentor. What did she mean by that? “Circumference” was an important word for her. It appeared in 17 of her poems. Critic Rochelle Cecil writes that for Dickinson, circumference referred to a sense of boundlessness radiating out from a center—a place where “one feels completely free, where one can express anything and everything.” According to critic Donna M. Campbell, circumference was Dickinson’s metaphor for ecstasy. When she said, “My business is circumference,” she meant that her calling was to be eternally in quest of awe and sublimity. I propose that you make good use of Dickinson’s circumference in the coming weeks, Aquarius. It’s time to get your mind and heart and soul thoroughly expanded and elevated.

Here come the brides C-VILLE Weddings provides brides-to-be with a comprehensive guide to planning their big day.

Make us the first stop on the road to wedded bliss.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Should I quote the wisdom of people who have engaged in behavior I consider unethical or immoral? Should I draw inspiration from teachers who at sometimes in their lives treated others badly? For instance, Pisces-born Ted Geisel, better known as beloved author Dr. Seuss, cheated on his wife while she was sick, ultimately leading to her suicide. Should I therefore banish him from my memory and never mention the good he did in the world? Or should I forgive him of his sins and continue to appreciate him? I don’t have a fixed set of rules about how to decide questions like these. How about you? The coming weeks will be a good time to redefine your relationship with complicated people.

Aries (March 21-April 19): On May 4, 2019, my Aries friend Leah woke up in a state of amazement. During the night, she felt she had miraculously become completely enlightened. Over the next 16 hours, she understood her life perfectly. Everything made sense to her. She was in love with every person and animal she knew. But by the next morning, the exalted serenity had faded, and she realized that her enlightenment had been temporary. She wasn’t mad or sad, however. The experience shook her up so delightfully that she vowed to forevermore seek to recreate the condition she had enjoyed. Recently she told me that on virtually every day since May 4, 2019, she has spent at least a few minutes, and sometimes much longer, exulting in the same ecstatic peace that visited her back then. That’s the Aries way: turning a surprise, spontaneous blessing into a permanent breakthrough. I trust you will do that soon.

Taurus

NEW ISSUE ON STANDS JANUARY 27TH, 2021

(April 20-May 20): One morning, famous French army general Hubert Lyautey instructed his gardener to spend the next day planting a row of saplings on his property.

The gardener agreed, but advised Lyautey that this particular species of tree required 100 years to fully mature. “In that case,” Lyautey said, “plant them now.” I recommend that you, too, expedite your long-

term plans, Taurus. Astrologically speaking, the time is ripe for you to take crisp action to fulfill your big dreams.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Someone asked poet E. E. Cummings what home was for him. He responded poetically, talking about his lover.

Home was “the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside your ribcage.”

What about you, Gemini? If you were asked to give a description of what makes you feel glad to be alive and helps give you the strength to be yourself, what would you say? Now would be a good time to identify and honor the influences that inspire you to create your inner sense of home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “Be sweet to me, world,” pleads Cancerian poet Stephen Dunn in one of his poems. In the coming weeks, I invite you to address the world in a similar way.

And since I expect the world will be unusually receptive and responsive to your requests, I’ll encourage you to add even more entreaties. For example, you could say, “Be revelatory and educational with me, world,” or “Help me deepen my sense that life is meaningful, world,” or “Feed my soul with experiences that will make me smarter and wilder and kinder, world.” Can you think of other appeals and supplications you’d like to express to the world?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Throughout his many rough travels in the deserts of the Middle East, the Leo diplomat and army officer known as Lawrence of Arabia didn’t give up his love of reading. While riding on the backs of camels, he managed to study numerous tomes, including the works of ancient Greek writers Aeschylus and Aristophanes. I’d love to see you perform comparable balancing acts in the coming weeks, Leo. The astrological omens suggest you’ll be skilled at coordinating seemingly uncoordinatable projects and tasks—and that you’ll thrive by doing so. (P.S.: Your efforts may be more metaphorical and less literal than Lawrence’s.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sculptor Stefan Saal testifies that one of his central questions as a creator of art is to know when a piece

Q&A is done. “When making a thing I need to decide when is it thoroughly made, when is it dare-we-say ‘perfected.’” He has tried to become a master of knowing where and when to stop. I recommend this practice to you in the next two weeks, Virgo. You’ve been doing good work, and will continue to do good work, but it’s crucial that you don’t get overly fussy and fastidious as you refine and perhaps even finish your project.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22): You’re entering the potentially most playful and frisky and whimsical phase of your astrological cycle. To honor and encourage a full invocation of gleeful fun, I offer you the following thoughts from Tumblr blogger Sparkledog: “I am so tired of being told that I am too old for the things I like. No cartoons. No toys. No fantasy animals. No bright colors.

Are adults supposed to live monotonous, bleak lives? I can be an adult and still love childish things. I can be intelligent and educated and informed and I can love stuffed animals and unicorns. Please stop making me feel bad for loving the things that make me happy.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Nature cannot be ordered about, except by obeying her,” wrote philosopher Francis Bacon. That paradoxical observation could prove to be highly useful for you in the coming weeks. Here are some other variants on the theme: Surrendering will lead to power. Expressing vulnerability will generate strength. A willingness to transform yourself will transform the world around you. The more you’re willing to acknowledge that you have a lot to learn, the smarter you’ll be.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): On October 18, 1867, the United States government completed its purchase of Alaska from Russia. How much did this 586,000-acre kingdom cost? Two cents per acre, which in today’s money would be about 37 cents. It was a tremendous bargain! I propose that we regard this transaction as a metaphor for what’s possible for you in 2021: the addition of a valuable resource at a reasonable price. (P.S.: American public opinion about the Alaskan purchase was mostly favorable back then, but a few influential newspapers described it as foolish. Don’t let naysayers like them dissuade you from your smart action.)

What should Biden’s first act be after his inauguration?

January 20 –26, 2021 c-ville.com

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In his book The Lover’s Dictionary, David Levithan advises lovers and would-be lovers to tell each other their very best stories. “Not the day’s petty injustices,” he writes. “Not the glimmer of a seven-eighths-forgotten moment from your past. Not something that somebody said to somebody, who then told it to you.” No, to foster the vibrant health of a love relationship—or any close alliance for that matter— you should consistently exchange your deepest, richest tales. This is always true, of course, but it’s especially true for you right now.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION

ORDER OF PUBLICATION The object of this suit is to effect a judicial sale of certain real property, reportedly containing 5.0 acres, more or less, and designated as Tax Map Parcel No. 06200-00-00-07900 (“62-79”), and which is being assessed on the tax records of the County of Albemarle, Virginia in the name of Ferrill Smith Estate and William M. Rhodes, Jr., in order to subject such property to the lien thereon for delinquent real estate taxes.

It appearing from the Complaint and by the Affidavit filed according to law that William M. Rhodes, Jr. is not a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia and that his last known address is 2521 Piedmont Road, NE, Apt. 2123, Atlanta, Georgia 30324.

Donate blood on January 21 at Hillsdale Conference Center and become a hero for patients in need

Interwoven Stories of Motherhood THE MOM JOURNALS tells the story of five mothers, each in a different stage of motherhood, through interwoven monologues. And although they are worlds apart, each character shares vastly similar revelations about what it is to be a mother: What motherhood takes away, what it provides, and how it is a life-long journey that takes just as long to process.

Drawing inspiration from THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES by V (formerly known as Eve Ensler), Walker set out to write a piece “just as raw, but specifically about all things motherhood.” The five mothers portrayed in THE MOM JOURNALS, though fictional, pay homage to the women in Walker’s life who “raised, befriended, fascinated, and baffled” her.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

They don’t wear capes or special suits, and their badge of honor is the bandage that shows they gave the gift of life. Local nonprofit, Managing Love, has partnered with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive for the Charlottesville community.

The community is invited to become a hometown hero and answer the call of patients in need by donating blood on January 21 from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Hillsdale Conference Center.

Donating blood is one of the simplest things a person can do to help save a patient’s life. For the hour it takes to give blood, there could be a whole community of people thankful for another birthday given to their loved one.

To make an appointment or to learn more, download American Red Cross Blood Donor, or visit RedCrossBlood. org, and use sponsor code: LOVE. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Completion of a RapidPass® online health history questionnaire is encouraged to help speed up the donation process.

To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements

Runs Online January 28-31 Live Arts is proud to present THE MOM JOURNALS, a new work written by local playwright Courtney Jett Walker, directed by Nina Haigney, and sponsored

by The Caplin Foundation.

Walker and Haigney are both members of the Live Arts Playwright’s Lab, a volunteer-led group dedicated to giving local playwrights—no matter what level—the chance to present their work, participate in feedback, and discuss other lab members’ plays.

Online performances of THE MOM JOURNALS will be 90 minutes long and

Meet the Playwright Courtney Jett Walker Courtney is a mother of four, local actress, and writer. She has spent the last 11 years as a stay-at-home mom while working on her writing and participating in local theater. She is a co-facilitator of the Live Arts Playwrights’ Lab and has written and directed for recent LOCALLY SOURCED short play festivals at Live Arts.

Favorite onstage roles include Frankie in DEARLY BELOVED (Persimmon Tree Players) and Annelle in STEEL MAGNOLIAS (Victory Hall Players).

Meet the Director Nina Haigney Nina makes her directing debut as a former academic now enjoying the Live Arts Playwrights’ Lab and posting scripts on Newplayexchange.org. Her short play Tara and Zoe, produced online for LOCALLY SOURCED 2020 at Live Arts, sparked her interest in the challenges of shared-screen drama. She loves working with the adventurous cast of THE MOM JOURNALS as they bring these five women to life—each one a force of nature in her own way.

Tickets and Performances Tickets can be purchased for $20 per household through the Live Arts Box Office at livearts.org/tix or by phone at (434)-977-4177 x123. Ticket holders will receive a Zoom link and instructions for attending their live-streamed online performance.

Now is the Time to Buy Your

FIRST

HOME

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

I

t’s time to rethink every reason you have for being a renter. Or living in your parent’s basement. Not that there’s anything wrong with renting or living in your parent’s basement. That makes perfect sense in a lot of situations. But if your only reason for not buying a house is because you think you don’t have enough money, it’s time to find out whether your bank account balance really is a barrier.

There are so many programs available to help you buy a house, especially if this is your first home. Some will pay your down payment, others lower your interest rate, and there are even matched savings programs to give you a head start. Most of them have income requirements and limits on how expensive a house you can buy, but it is well worth the effort to see what your options are.

And the best time to start your investigation is right now, even if you think you might be months or even a year or two away from buying a home.

The Big Three There are three major players that provide financial help to first time homebuyers and they operate at the federal, state, and local levels. These are USDA Rural Development, Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA), and local housing counseling entities.

USDA Rural Development offers homebuyers, or home builders, two programs that can get you into a home in most rural areas for zero percent down and 100 percent financing. These won’t work in Charlottesville, Waynesboro, and Staunton, but the rest of the CAAR footprint is a match for this incredible resource.

And if you have your eye on those cities, don’t worry, other programs pick up the slack where USDA does not operate.

The big player at the state level is Virginia Housing Development Authority.

Like USDA, they also offer zero percent down and 100 percent financing, and cover both rural and urban areas. One popular program is the VHDA Loan Combo that combines an affordable

Start Early and Get Help Nothing can take the place of time and help. If you are even thinking about buying a house, it’s not too early to start.

Let time be your friend, not your enemy.

Kristen Lucas, Director of Housing Counseling and Economic Opportunity with Piedmont Housing Alliance, would much rather a potential buyer come in on the early side, rather than too late.

“There are situations that can make buyers ineligible for certain resources if they don’t have time on their side, or if they

where they start. With effort, help and time, they can make big changes in as little as six months. Whether paying down debt, increasing income and savings, or improving a credit score, any of those changes can put them in a better position to qualify for a mortgage and get the house they want.

All first-time homebuyers should take Virginia Housing’s free online homebuyer class, which is required for many loan and down payment assistance programs.

It is available in English and Spanish and takes about six hours to complete.

Students can go at their own rate, starting and stopping as needed. Take this early because the certification lasts for two years.

If you need help finding a trustworthy lender and REALTOR®, Virginia Housing has “Find a Lender” and “Find a Real Estate Agent” functions on their website. These professionals have experience in using Virginia Housing programs to make homeownership a reality for their clients.

Nothing Down Andrew, a client of Virginia Housing, figured he would be in his mid-30s before he could buy a home. Saddled with hefty student loans after college and grad school, he knew his capacity to save was nonexistent. Fortunately, he watched a friend trade in his rent payment for a mortgage with VHDA using their down

It can’t be said enough times in enough different ways that first-time homebuyers do not have to spend years saving their money for a down payment.

Or worse yet, don’t even try because they think it’s impossible to put together the money needed. Instead, those years can be spent building home equity.

VHDA mortgage, a down payment grant, tax credits for mortgage interest paid, and free homebuyer classes. The tax credit is only available at the time of the VHDA loan and can’t be used with non-VHDA mortgages. So make sure to talk to a VHDA-approved lender early in the process to see if you qualify.

And don’t forget to check out local resources. Look for HUD-approved housing counseling agencies.

Piedmont Housing Alliance covers Charlottesville, and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson Counties.

Habitat for Humanity and Operation Hope are two other counseling agencies operating out of Charlottesville. Skyline Community Action Program covers Greene, Madison, and Orange Counties.

These local agencies bring together information, education, and resources, all in one place. That’s helpful, but the programs themselves are complicated.

They all have specific eligibility requirements. Some can be used together, some only in certain areas. There are limits on how expensive a home can be, loan max-

Pre-purchase counseling is for any first-time buyers, not just those with low incomes. A certified housing counselor can help the buyer chart a course towards homeownership, regardless of

Loan Officer with Movement Mortgage, is one of the lenders approved by VHDA. “People still misunderstand what you need to buy a house. Or for some reason they think they won’t qualify. There are so many programs out there to overcome a lack of savings for a down payment.

You don’t need 20 percent down. You can get in a house with zero percent, 3 percent, or 3.5 percent down. For low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers or veterans, the barriers are much lower than most people expect.”

That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be some effort to pay down debt and save.

Tiscornia says, “Just because you can get a zero dollar down payment, doesn’t mean there is no money involved. Especially at this time of year, it’s smart to save your stimulus check or your tax refund if you’re getting one. Be strategic about how you use that money. See if it makes more sense to use it to pay down debt and improve your credit score, or to save for any homebuying expenses that won’t be covered.”

“As a buyer, you need to get solid numbers from someone you trust. And then look at things from a monthly payment standpoint to see how much of a mortgage you can afford and feel comfortable paying.

Often that monthly mortgage payment isn’t far off what you are paying in rent.

“At some point rates have to go up. I locked in someone today at an interest rate of 2.6 percent. But any interest rate that starts with a two or three is fantastic.”

And if you qualify for Piedmont Housing Alliance’s SPARK program, available to certain buyers earning up to 100 percent of the area median income, you can shave an entire percentage point off the current interest rate. So, if the current rate is 3 percent, you may be able to lock in at 2 percent. That is an incredible advantage that pays off every month for the life of the mortgage.

It’s not just low interest rates that make 2021 a great year for first-time homebuyers. What better time is there to get out of a tight apartment (or basement) and into your own home than during a pandemic?

In certain situations, Lucas suggests looking at the Virginia Individual Development Account (VIDA) program through Piedmont Housing. For income qualified buyers that have at least six months before buying, VIDA will match each $1 saved with $8. This can be a real game changer for anyone that is starting from scratch to put resources together to buy a home.

Lucas relates the story of one client that Piedmont Housing Alliance helped with down payment assistance in 2020.

He and his family were able to move into their first home last summer amid social distancing and quarantine requirements.

“He is so happy and grateful that his family is in their own home for the rest of the COVID-19 restrictions. And when it’s all over, he wants to invite all his housing counselors over for dinner to thank us.

We know that he was the one who did the work, started the process, and stuck to it. But it is extremely gratifying to be part of his success story.”

That story can be yours too. If you take the first step on the journey by reaching out to a certified housing counselor to see where you stand. With the right counselor, lender, and REALTOR® in your corner, you can make steady progress towards getting just the right house.

As Domenic says, “Don’t kid yourself.

If you’re not buying in this environment, you’re not a buyer.”

Go on. Take the first step and find out how 2021 can be the year you buy your first home.

If Not Now, When?

The timing for first-time homebuyers really couldn’t be better.

“Interest rates hit historic lows eight times in 2020. These low rates are a big asset to first time buyers. Now is the time to capitalize on that,” says Tiscornia.

Domenic agrees. “These interest rates make buying a home so much more affordable for many more people. Twenty-twenty was a banner year. And that’s not going to change in 2021. In fact, we have been able to loosen up some of our more restrictive policies that were put in place for COVID-19. That makes it easier on the buyer and on us too.”

“This is a significant opportunity, almost a golden age.” But be cautious.

There are unscrupulous lenders out there.
