THIS WEEK

I dove into Dune this week. I found the new blockbuster riveting—it’s weird and wonderful in all the right ways. It’s got space-travel-augmenting desert drugs, warring feudal houses, cyborgs, espionage, and gigantic sand worms. (When I looked up author Frank Herbert and found that he was a big fan of hallucinogenic mushrooms, I was not at all surprised.) The movie—and the books it’s based on—are overflowing with ideas. It’s always fun to feel like you’re in the hands of a creator with a real vision, and that you can just sit back and let his creativity carry you away. I can’t wait for the sequel.

In the meantime, though, there’s a great selection of movies to be seen right here in Charlottesville. This year’s Virginia Film Festival kicks off on Wednesday, October 27, and is full of talented filmmakers exploring settings that are much closer to home than the distant worlds of Arrakis and Caladan. Writer and actor Jeremy O. Harris is a Martinsville native, and in our Q&A with him this week, he reflects on how his Virginia roots have influenced his groundbreaking work (p. 19). Journalist Beth Macy helps track the effects of the opioid epidemic in Virginia and West Virginia (p. 21). A new documentary looks at the legacy of tennis player, activist, and Richmond native Arthur Ashe (p 25). The list goes on and on. Sit back, relax, and get your popcorn ready.—Ben Hitchcock

Redistricting commission on brink of collapse

IN BRIEF

Unknown package was false alarm A suspicious package drew attention from the Virginia State Police bomb squad last Friday night. The package was left outside the federal courthouse on West Main Street. The bomb squad cordoned off the area for an hour and a half, but the package ultimately turned out not to be a safety threat, and was later described as a “personal item” by the city.

Civilian watch dogs get a new toy

Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting committee is coming apart at the seams. The bipartisan commission—composed of four Democratic legislators, four Democratic citizens, four Republican legislators, and four Republican citizens—was supposed to create fair, even maps. But the commission can’t agree on anything, and it missed its October 25 deadline to submit Congressional map proposals to the General Assembly.

Last year, Democrats in the legislature voted to create this commission rather than draw their own congressional lines, an at-

tempt at good-faith mutual disarmament that could go belly-up if the commission continues its stalemate. (“Democrats Supported Redistricting Reform in Virginia. Was it a mistake?” asked a provocative Slate headline.) If the commission can’t agree on maps, the Virginia Supreme Court will hire its own consultant to draw the lines.

“It’s frustrating but also predictable,” said Delegate Marcia Price, a Democrat who opposed the amendment, in The Washington Post. “I just think inherently when you have a partisan and political process you’re going to have gridlock.”

COVID cases declining locally

The seven-day moving average of new local COVID cases is the lowest it’s been since July.

New cases have declined on Grounds as well. The rolling seven-day average of cases is 3.1 per day, down from a late September high of 23.3. UVA has mandated that all university faculty and staff must be vaccinated by December 8. If they refuse, they face unpaid leave or possible termination.

The rule comes after a federal government order stipulated that employees working for organizations that have contracts with the federal government must get the shots. Currently, over 95 percent of UVA faculty and staff are fully vaccinated, and the admin is urging all employees to take action as soon as possible in order to meet the December 8 deadline.

BLUE RIDGE HEALTH DISTRICT

After a September surge, COVID cases in the Blue Ridge Health district have fallen steadily in the last month. October 25 saw the seven-day moving average of new cases drop to 25.3, the lowest it’s been since July. Vaccination rates locally have largely stagnated: In Charlottesville, 58.7 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, and in Albemarle, that number is 68.1 percent.

The Blue Ridge Health District has also begun offering booster shots, by appointment, to those age 65 and older, immunocompromised individuals, or people who work in high-risk environments.

The City of Charlottesville has launched a Budget Explorer so that curious citizens can dig deeper into the FY22 adopted budget and compare it to previous years’ budgets. The interactive dashboard allows viewers to review the last four budgets “in line item detail” for most city departments that are part of the general fund. Find yourself wondering how much money the Charlottesville city government spent on small hand tools in 2022 compared to 2019? Have no fear, the Budget Explorer is here!

Virginia’s current congressional map, pictured above, yielded seven Democratic representatives and four Republicans in the 2020 election.

A bipartisan panel convened to adjust the lines has struggled to make headway.

UVA’s marching band won a fight with the administration last week. The band had been banned from playing their instruments in the stands at football games, a regulation purportedly to prevent the spread of COVID. But the band disagreed: “The energy of Scott Stadium is being subdued for the sake of optics,” stated a petition urging the admin to let them play.

Eight thousand signatures later, the university relented, and the “Hey Song” once again blared from the stands during Virginia’s victory over Georgia Tech last Saturday.

Crash into November 2 Governor campaigns heat up as election day nears

By Kristin O’Donoghue

Abrams—the first Black woman in American history to be nominated by a major party to run for governor—underscored the important role that young people and people of color play in Democratic politics, though the gathered crowd was predominantly middle-aged and white.

“The commonwealth has the power to set the course of this nation for the next decade,” Abrams said.

When asked what might motivate young people to vote for someone they might perceive as yet another establishment candidate, Harrison talked about the ways in which McAuliffe represents progress for young people and for the nation.“What young people want is the freedom to be able to live

their American dream…We don’t need neanderthals like Glenn Youngkin to drag us back into some bygone time.”

All the speakers warned against the “radical Republicans” who, if elected, would roll back all the progress the state has made in recent decades.

“There is such a profound threat to our democracy, and we’ve got to show up for Terry to change the future for the better,” Matthews said before ginning up the crowd with a performance that included his hits “Mercy” and “Bartender.”

“The Avengers are not coming in November,” said Harrison. “It’s up to all of you.”

Addressing the young people in the crowd, Abrams pleaded: “Don’t let us screw this up.”

Charlottesville heads to the polls Over the past year, Charlottesville—along with counties across the state—has experienced severe mail delays.

Some residents have gone weeks without receiving any mail at all, largely due to staff shortages and poor management at area post offices.

“We have a lot of voters concerned over that, and have had to reissue quite a few ballots, due to them not receiving the initial one when it went out with a large batch,” says Yowell.

To make sure their ballot gets counted, “a lot of voters, rather than sending them back through the mail... they are dropping them in our drop boxes here in our office,” she adds.

Though some residents chose to vote early this year due to pandemic concerns, Yowell does not think voters are as wary of large crowds as they were last year, and expects a significant turnout on Election Day. “So many people are vaccinated now, so they feel comfortable being around a crowd,” she says. “Some people that I talked to are actually excited to go to the polls on Election Day and see people out there voting.”—Brielle Entzminger

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Still, this election’s turnout pales in comparison to the 2020 national election, which is typical. Eighteen-thousand residents voted early in Charlottesville last November, with the majority pulling the lever in person. In 2016, around 3,400 voters headed to the polls before Election Day. Last week, between 130 and 150 voters cast their ballots downtown each day, according to Yowell. Because the city now has four ballot-marking stations, the average wait time has been only a couple of minutes.

“Last year, we were only able to have two [stations]... and we had between 300 and 400 people a day, so of course there was a line there,” says Yowell. But this election, “the lines have been moving very quickly.”

Things haven’t been going quite as smoothly for those voting by mail.

Election officials sent 2,500 absentee ballots to Charlottesville voters this year, and less than half of those have been sent back, says Yowell. “It’s still a good amount of mail ballots going out and coming back in, but it just doesn’t compare to last year,” when only around 590 ballots were not sent back.

@cville_weekly

Over half a million Virginians have already cast their ballots in the gubernatorial election. Early voting has been open since September 17, and will close Saturday, October 30.

In Charlottesville, as of October 24, nearly 3,600 residents have voted early. About 1,200 cast their ballots by mail, and more than 2,300 lined up at the City Hall Annex to vote in person.

“Our voters that are coming out have been very enthused to come out [and] support a specific candidate,” says Taylor Yowell, acting general registrar and director of elections for Charlottesville. “The energy definitely picked up this past week, and we’ve had a higher turnout.”

Compared to the last gubernatorial election, early voting has drastically increased statewide—in 2017, around 1,450 residents cast their ballots early in Charlottesville.

This year’s spike is thanks in part to Virginia’s new voting laws, which have made voting much easier. Last year, the Democrat-controlled General Assembly lifted decades-long restrictions on absentee voting, allowing voters to cast their ballots early by mail or in person without an excuse.

a felony, and his efforts to protect women’s reproductive freedom.

In reference to abortion rights, McAuliffe said, “This is no longer a talking point. This is real.”

REALCLEARPOLITICS

irginia’s November 2 gubernatorial election is rapidly approaching, and the two campaigns are ramping up their efforts to energize voters. Last Sunday, Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe hosted a star-studded get-out-the-vote rally at the Ting Pavilion. Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams spoke alongside McAuliffe and DNC chair Jaime Harrison, while Dave Matthews played an acoustic set for the hundreds who had gathered.

Glenn Youngkin will wrap up a 10-day “Win for Glenn” bus tour on October 28.

Youngkin has held a number of meet and greets at inns, restaurants, and convention centers, especially in rural areas. The bus tour did not include a stop in Charlottesville, a Democratic stronghold.

McAuliffe also held an event with former president Barack Obama in Richmond on Saturday. “You can’t run, telling me you’re a regular old hoops-playing, dish-washing, fleece-wearing guy, but quietly cultivate support from those who seek to tear down our democracy,” Obama said of Youngkin.

In Charlottesville on Sunday, Harrison told the crowd that “Virginia is a blueprint for so many other states. That only happened because of the leadership in the governor’s mansion and at the state house.”

The DNC committed $5 million to Virginia, a testament to just how significant the upcoming race is.

Introduced by Harrison as the “Energizer Bunny of American politics,” McAuliffe hopped on stage to talk about his “proven leadership.”

He highlighted a few achievements from his time in office, including the restoration of voting rights to those who had committed

Unite the Right trial begins Sines v. Kessler kicks off with jury selection

Alt-right leader Richard Spencer leaves the courthouse after the first day of the civil suit against the organizers of Unite the Right.

best known for her 2013 victory in the landmark Supreme Court case United States v.

Windsor, a watershed moment in the quest for marriage equality.

On the opposite side of the courtroom, several attorneys representing defendants were present, while Christopher Cantwell and alt-right leader Richard Spencer represented themselves.

Negative views of Nazis and white supremacists were frequent among the prospective jury pool but weren’t the only strong feelings expressed.

“You have unfavorable views against antifa?” Moon said to a female prospective juror.

“Honestly, I think they’re all a terrorist organization. They’re trying to hurt people,” the woman responded.

“Realizing that all the plaintiffs will say they are not members of that organization,

“These people are terrorists.”

A PROSPECTIVE JUROR WHO WAS ULTIMATELY DISMISSED

do you think you can give the plaintiffs a fair hearing and make decisions based on law and evidence?” Moon asked.

“Yes,” the woman replied.

While jury selection took the majority of the time on Monday, the day started with a motion by plaintiffs to sever the case for Cantwell. If granted, the motion would create a separate lawsuit with Cantwell as the only defendant.

“The reason why we’ve done it just now is we were here for the first time with Mr. Cantwell, and we saw how he was given documents that he had never seen before,” said Kaplan. Kaplan noted that Cantwell’s present

claim to want change but refuse to take risks to alter the racist status quo.”

During the trial, “We ask those who oppose racism to join us in solidarity, supporting each other and the plaintiffs in the Sines v. Kessler trial,” the statement continues. “We will protect the safety and well-being of those risking their comfort and their lives to dismantle white supremacy.”

Meanwhile, UVA religious studies professor Jalane Schmidt tweeted out a message warning media outlets not to conduct interviews with white supremacists. “The statements by the fascists circulate online and are available; there’s no need for a fresh interview that breathes life into their words,” she wrote. “If you wanna interview [Richard Spencer], I don’t wanna talk with you. And neither do my Charlottesville comrades.”—Ben Hitchcock

Sines v. Kessler is attracting attention from across the country—national reporters are again parachuting in to Charlottesville to get the story—and some of our city’s activists and activist groups have shared their thoughts on the proceedings.

The Charlottesville Anti-Racist Media Liaison issued a statement co-signed by a variety of organizations in town, including Showing Up for Racial Justice, Charlottesville Democratic Socialists of America, and others.

“Four years ago, white supremacists planned and carried out violence and murder in and against the Charlottesville community. Since that time, Charlottesville antiracists have continued to fight racism in all its forms,” the statement reads. “To dismantle white supremacy, we must go beyond prosecuting white supremacists in court and commit to holding accountable those who

ith heightened security outside the courthouse, the courtroom closed to the public, and media restricted to a live feed of proceedings in a separate room inside the federal court building in downtown Charlottesville, Sines v.

Kessler got underway on Monday morning.

The lawsuit is aimed at disrupting and bankrupting the hate groups responsible for the August 2017 Unite the Right rally. Difficulty seating a jury in the civil case emerged almost immediately.

“These people are terrorists,” said the first prospective juror questioned in court about his ability to be objective about the defendants, a who’s who of white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

“Do you think you can set aside that opinion,” asked presiding Judge Norman K. Moon.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can,” the man replied, prompting Moon to release him from the jury pool.

Moon released another prospective juror over advanced age and a heart condition (jury service is optional for those 70 and over). Several others who are selfemployed requested release from jury service due to the length of the trial, which is scheduled to last four weeks. The court also released a school bus driver who noted that the nationwide shortage in her field would make a four-week absence a hardship for students.

By mid-afternoon, 12 prospective jurors had been questioned and nine had been released for reasons ranging from age and health to self-professed bias. As court wrapped up at 6pm, several more had survived challenges from the defense or plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs in the case are represented by a phalanx of high-powered attorneys led

by Roberta Kaplan and funded by the nonprofit Integrity First for America. Kaplan is

incarceration for threatening rape has prevented timely communication with him.

“It’s not about any newfound empathy for Mr. Cantwell,” said Kaplan. “There does appear to be an issue with respect to Mr. Cantwell getting pleadings in this case, documents in real time.”

Requesting the court’s permission to speak, Cantwell, who earned the moniker “the crying Nazi” after the Unite the Right rally for a self-posted video of him weeping over his impending arrest, asked the court to sanction the plaintiffs, but Moon swiftly interrupted.

“The court is willing to sever the case and allow you the time you want for your case,” said Moon. He denied the plaintiffs’ motion after Cantwell told the court he didn’t want his own legal proceeding.

Sines v. Kessler accuses Cantwell and two dozen other individuals and groups of conspiring to commit racially motivated violence before and during the weekend of the Unite the Right rally in August 2017. Defendants include the KKK, Vanguard America, League of the South and the National Socialist Movement. Individual defendants include rally organizer Jason Kessler, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist Elliott Kline (aka Eli Mosley), Matthew Heimbach, who co-founded the Traditionalist Worker Party with fellow lawsuit defendant Matthew Parrott, and James Fields, who was convicted of murder and maiming in the August 12 car attack.

The suit’s ambitious goal goes beyond simply punishing individuals; it seeks to financially cripple groups and people who promote bigotry, hate, and violence, preventing future Unite the Right-like rallies in Charlottesville or anywhere else in the country.

Jury selection will continue into Tuesday.

A SORT OF HO ME COM ING chronicle that took the internet by storm in 2015, resulting in the highprofile Rolling Stone magazine feature, “Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted.” For his foray into film, Harris teamed up with writer/director Janicza Bravo to co-write an honest, raw look at sex work in America while maintaining the singularity and humor of Wells’ voice. In conversation with C-VILLE Weekly, Harris reflects on his rise to success, and what it means to him to return to Virginia.

C-VILLE: You went to high school in Martinsville, VA. Can you talk about how your experience growing up in the South, particularly in Virginia, impacts your current work?

JH: It’s impacted every facet. The tradition of Southern storytelling is very rich. The thing that’s special about the South is its sort of wild, complex history with both the slave trade—Virginia being the hub of the domestic CONTINUED ON PA GE 20

laywright Jeremy O. Harris made history this year when his provocative Slave Play garnered the most Tony nominations ever for a single work (12, including Best Play). He began writing Slave Play while attending the Yale School of Drama, where he earned an MFA in playwriting, but his inspiration was intrinsic, stemming from his experiences growing up in Martinsville, Virginia.

Unpacking the harsh realities of sexual and racial violence and trauma, Slave Play stirred controversy with its brash and graphic nature. At times generating a sense of discomfort for the audience, the work forces theatergoers to face ugly truths, reckon with the past, acknowledge its impact on the present, and assess their own place within the trajectory. The same is true for Harris’ film, Zola, the adaptation of Aziah “Zola” Wells’ viral Twitter

Celebrated writer Jeremy O. Harris ponders the influence of his Virginia roots

20 And me existing there might be something that could change that, right? Me existing there as someone who is very excited and proud to have co-written a movie directed by a Black woman...might make people have a different relationship to gender, and who gets what jobs in that area, because now they might not feel as though there’s some wild imposition of masculinity the minute that a woman is involved in any sort of project that a man is involved in.

That brings me to Zola, which you cowrote with director Janicza Bravo. What first attracted you to this project?

VAFF

I was actively on Twitter as it was happening. [A’Ziah “Zola” King] had written maybe like 15 of the 145 tweets and I was at tweet 15 thinking, “This is the funniest line ever—who is this?” And I think that I was captivated immediately then by the ferocity of her voice and the newness of her voice in the sense that her voice felt similar to the ways in which I process the world.

Can you talk about your writing approach to the film? It’s a unique undertaking in that you’re adapting tweets. Many lines in the movie were lifted directly from Zola’s tweets—but how did you maintain her voice?

not coming back, right? And being like, this is a safer place for me to exist and explore and become the human being that I want to be.

I’ve done that and it’s been phenomenal for me, but it’s been tinged with some sadness because I would prefer to be able to grow with people that I grew up with; I would have preferred to have shared the lessons I was learning with everyone around me, and not feel as though I had abandoned my community and taken away a resource that you know, Virginia helped foster.

I was watered and planted in Virginia, and then I was uprooted, and went somewhere else and became a grand, surprisingly large flower, right, that beared fruit. And that fruit is being beared and shared with people in New York and people in L.A. So it’s really exciting to have this step of me being brought back and welcomed back in some small way to a community I left because I didn’t know if I would ever feel welcome there.

slave trade in America once the Transatlantic slave trade was ended—and also the fact that Virginia specifically was sort of like the hub between the North and the South...but the Confederacy capital is in Richmond, right?

There’s a lot of complexities that come from this area that teaches one, without even knowing it, the value of what you want, and how you tell your story, and how you know your history. It takes a lot of nuance to explain to someone, as a Black person, that one of your best friends was the owner of the largest plantation in southwestern Virginia. What does that mean that we played there together? Just the fact that we played doesn’t absolve that person of anything.

These are the kind of questions that are at the core of Faulkner stories, right? These are at the core of so many of the bedrocks of American literature and literary traditions. Those things have very much been like a fuel to the fire of the stories I’ve told.

Do you feel a responsibility to take the For a lot of people in the North, this year was one lessons you’ve learned and the success of the first times they’ve actually reckoned with race— you’ve achieved and channel it back into even though Trayvon Martin happened [almost 10] your community in some way? years ago. There have been a litany of other things that I think that’s a complicated thing. There are moments have happened in our lifetime, for even someone as where I feel like I owe everything to everyone down there and then moments where I’m like “I owe them young as I am, that they could have pointed to as a moment of racial reckoning.

I also do think that it’s very easy to abandon comthe wake of the white supremacist rally in munities that you think haven’t evolved fast enough 2017—and most recently in Richmond with without trying to help them evolve. And again, that’s the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue on a lot of labor. But a part of me is like, it’s easier to Monument Avenue. What does it mean to evolve when you see it right in front of you; it’s you to screen one of your works here, harder when you can’t see it at all. given the sociopolitical context?

I think it’s exciting; it’s a sort of a homecoming. I Maybe I do owe it to my community to be this out, proud, Black, successful gay man in Virginia, who can feel like myself, and a lot of people from Virginia, be a model for people who maybe have never even specifically, who feel othered—whether it’s because they’re Black, whether it’s because they’re gay, whethseen a gay person that’s out. I mean, they’ve definitely er it’s because they’re a woman with too much amseen a gay person, they just maybe haven’t seen one bition—they end up going to some faraway city and who feels comfortable telling the world who they are.

Isn’t it so funny [the opening line of the film]: “Y’all wanna hear a story about why me and this bitch here fell out?” Isn’t it such a Southern turn of phrase? That line just feels like home to me.

And it’s immediately captivating. It feels like sitting around the table talking to your friends.

Exactly. It does feel exhilarating. The thing that made it very easy for me was that she told the story with such conviction, with such an innate and natural understanding of the rhythm of the storytelling that I didn’t have to do anything. It was basically like plug and play. So every beat that’s in the movie is from her actual Twitter thread, right. And so we just went through it and wrote them all down as the outline.

And we filled in the beats in between the tweets.

Anything that could have happened between a pair of tweets—like there’s a tweet where they got in the car, and the next tweet, they’re in Florida— we filled out what happened on the ride to Florida, then. And that became a really important process.

And then outside of that, we went through her actual history—some of the things she had told [David Kushner], the man who wrote the [Rolling Stone] article about her and used those things to add further flavors to the story.

This movie is categorized as a comedy, but it takes on a very serious subject. And I felt like it challenged me. There were certain scenes that I thought were funny, and there were other scenes that made me uncomfortable. Then there were scenes that I appreciated, but I felt like I wasn’t the intended audience. As a viewer, I felt very self-aware and my interpretation was that that was intentional. Was it?

Jeremy O. Harris will appear at the The Virginia Film Festival to screen Zola, discuss his work, and accept the American Perspectives Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema.

I believe very strongly that an audience who is aware of itself, aware of its presence, are able to take on bigger ideas, even inside of a comedy, than they would if they aren’t aware of themselves. You do enough to remind people that what they’re watching is a movie that has an idea and the ideas are X, Y, and Z, so that they’ll notice things like the Confederate flag or the fact that a Black woman who doesn’t look anything like Whoopi Goldberg is being called Whoopi Goldberg. And even if they don’t understand what that means in the moment, they’ll think about it for longer because the movie has done a lot to destabilize the relationship to what they’re seeing.

DEALING WITH DOPE S

ince 2012, Roanoke-based writer Beth Macy has been at the forefront of reporting on the opioid epidemic, covering the toll that the drugs have taken on people and communities in the Appalachian region. In that time, she’s tracked the story of one drug in particular: the painkiller OxyContin.

Macy works in western Virginia, but the harrowing stories she’s told aren’t geographically unique. “The story could have been told anywhere,” she says. “It’s bad everywhere.”

The result of Macy’s research is her 2018 New York Times bestseller Dopesick, which Hulu has adapted as an eight-episode limited television series starring Michael Keaton. Macy is an executive producer and contributing screenwriter, and actor-turned-writer Danny Strong is the showrunner and executive producer.

“Dopesick” reveals how the Sackler family’s Purdue Pharma preyed on poor, pain-afflicted laborers and their families. By selling the lie that their drug OxyContin was seldom addictive, Purdue caused widespread addiction, ruined communities, and left over 450,000 Americans dead.

The Sackler family is currently claiming bankruptcy. That’s not enough, says Macy. “There should be criminal prosecution of this family...well over half a million Americans are dead now and we know that OxyContin was the taproot of this epidemic.

And they’re going to walk away richer than they are right now after they pay their fine. That’s wrong.”

The real-life heroes of “Dopesick” are the lawyers and activists—particularly opioid victims’

family members—who have bravely, relentlessly crusaded in court against the billionaires’ white-collar drug-pushing.

Macy enthuses about Strong as a showrunner. “Woe be it to the person who tries to fight Danny Strong, because there is no better fighter,” she says. “He was just determined to tell this story.”

The series takes the epidemic’s complex backstory and assembles it in a palatable way.

And during the production process, fresh information kept pouring in, from sources like leaked documents and conference calls with forThe cast was thoroughly invested in the story, mer Purdue employees. “It’s a little bit thrilling, and worked hard to grasp every aspect of the says Macy. “It’s a legal investigative story.

DEVELOPING STORIES

OF F T H E C OU RT Citizen Ashe, by award-winning director Sam Pollard and Rex Miller, chronicles the life of tennis great and Virginia native Arthur Ashe, a trailblazing figure on the court and activist off.

Ashe was the first Black man to win a singles championship at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, and the Australian Open. He was also the first Black man named to a U.S. Davis Cup team. But it was a heart attack at age 36 and subsequent bypass surgery that in many ways defined Ashe’s career.

Over the nine years following his first cardiac episode, Ashe embarked on a mission to advocate for heart health. But health issues continued to plague him. In 1988, Ashe was hospitalized yet again. Tests revealed he was HIV positive. Doctors said he likely contracted the disease from a blood transfusion received during his 1979 quadruple bypass.

As an activist, Ashe took on not only heart health and AIDS awareness but racial justice.

He visited South Africa as part of a delegation promoting racial integration, and later, in 1985, was arrested for protesting during an anti-apartheid rally. Ashe protested mistreatment of Haitian Citizen Ashe refugees in 1992 and was again Violet Crown Cinema arrested for speaking out.

October 30 Born and raised in Richmond, Ashe was honored with a statue along the city’s Monument Avenue in 1996. Because of its location among Richmond’s many confederate memorials, the bronze sculpture showing Ashe holding a book and tennis racket and surrounded by children has become a touchpoint in the ongoing conversation about antiquity and historical injustice in modern American life.

Citizen Ashe is narrated by Ashe and features Johnnie Ashe, Stephanie Cookie Carson, and Donald Dell. The film attempts to put Ashe’s life into sociological context, examining the racial issues surrounding the predominantly white sport of tennis.—Shea Gibbs

Indeed, for many people, the ongoing dynamic they have with their aging parents is one fraught with unexpressed or passively expressed worry. While you don’t want to interfere with their independence, their diminishing mobility might have you anticipating accidents, both at home and about, especially if they are still driving and doing their own errands. What’s more, if our aging parents refuse to accept additional help, people may feel there’s little they can do except wait for something bad to happen.

In fact, the Penn State study found that changes in communication between aging parents and their adult children often don’t happen until there is an “inciting incident,” such as being hospitalized, new health problems that require new medications, or perhaps a sudden fall or accident.

According to experts, however, getting your aging parents to accept help is worth a try. Especially if you want to avoid things that could have been prevented. One strategy is to find a third-party influencer, like a

October 27 - November 2, 2021 c-ville.com

According to experts, however, getting your aging parents to accept help is worth a try. Especially if you want to avoid things that could have been prevented.

doctor, nurse, or other healthcare expert or professional (or an article in your local paper!) who might be willing to share information. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of four older people have a fall and don’t tell anyone, even though 95% of hip fractures, and over half of traumatic brain injuries, are caused by falls. What’s more, falling once doubles the risk of falling again.

Also, falling can be caused by other things that need to be talked about, like medications, lack of sleep, and even the kind of shoes a person is wearing. Once an older person understands the dangers and risks, and that they can be a threat to their independence, it can be easier to have discussions about getting extra help with things that require mobility and balance, like laundry, changing sheets, and vacuuming, or installing grab bars and removing clutter.

Of course, it’s important to present these things as solutions that can help older parents have more control, not as scare tactics, and that older parents feel that they are making these decisions for themselves.

Indeed, experts say, a lot of the resistance for help that older people can display simply means they are having difficulty with role reversal or are fearful of losing their independence and becoming a burden on their children. So it’s important to show empathy.

Finally, it’s important for the adult children of older parents to know their limits. You have a life to live, perhaps kids to raise, and a career to nurture, and if you’re older parents are still being stubborn and refusing to accept help, you may have to come to terms with the fact that only an “inciting incident” is going to change things. That can be scary, of course, but it can also tip the balance toward a solution. As researchers in the Penn State study discovered, breakthroughs in family conversations about difficult health and independence issues often required such incidents, and that being prepared to provide solutions when that happens, rather than freaking out, can lead to positive changes.

V SER ING S IORS

Everyone talks about the challenges of being a caregiver, but there are actually challenges to becoming a caregiver. A 2020 study

by Penn State University found that 77% of adult children believe their parents are resistant to taking their advice and getting help with daily tasks. Indeed, the study found that that 91% of those 65+ who are living independently don’t share information with their adult children about how they’re sleeping and 82% don’t share information about their medications. Meanwhile, 71% of adult children reported they don’t discuss this information with their parents.

“Health of family members is inherently a realm of collaboration, but also of tensions around personal boundaries and established family roles,” said Prof. John Carroll, the lead investigator on the study.

T

he lineup for the 34th edition of the Virginia Film Festival is stacked with movies that are already getting Oscar buzz, like The French Dispatch, The Power of the Dog, Spencer, and Belfast. These films are bound to do big box office business for weeks to come, but this year’s fest also features several less-hyped films that are especially worthy of attention in an exciting, crowded program.

The Machinery of Dreams

The Machinery of Dreams

Monkey Beach

Zola

Mass

October 27 – November 2, 2021 c-ville.com

This fantasy film is firmly anchored in reality through a horrible tragedy. When Lily’s mother is hurt in a terrible car crash, her grandmother tells her tales of fantasy to pass the time. The more tales she tells, however, the blurrier the lines between imagination and real life become. At its core, film is storytelling. From Pan’s Labyrinth to The Fall, it is easy to fall in love with fantasy when reality is too hard to bear. The Machinery of Dreams is presented as a part of the festival’s focus on Virginia filmmakers. The screening will be accompanied by a discussion with director Eric Hurt and actor Cora Metzfield.

Stories of heroes returning home to save their communities and families are culturally ubiquitous. Monkey Beach takes the framework of the prodigal son and gives the age-old story a brand new voice. Highlighted as a film directed by an indigenous woman, this tale is told from the perspective of a young indigenous woman who is trying to save her brother. Along her journey she encounters what seems to be a menagerie of cryptids and supernatural elements that reconnect her with her past.

Zola

The directorial debut of actor Fran Kranz, better known as the stoner in Cabin in the Woods, is not about Kranz once again flexing his comedy muscles. Mass takes place mostly

in a single room as a group of grieving parents talk through an unthinkable tragedy.

Franz might be a newcomer, but he’s been getting major critical kudos since premiering Mass at Sundance in January. The film stars Ann Dowd, Martha Plimpton, Jason

Loosely sorted into Being Human, Facing Reality, a repertoire of Sudanese film, and the films of Kevin Everson, there is plenty of variety in these collections.

be released in theaters until the end of December. The film earned the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and it’s Colombia’s submission for Best International Feature at the 94th Academy Awards in 2022.

Director Apichatpong Weerasethakul is known for taking an architectural and paced approach to his visual design, and Memoria is no different. Starring Tilda Swinton as a Scotswoman living in Colombia who hears sounds, namely a loud boom, that others may not hear, the film deals with this disconnect as she begins to visualize these sounds. Synesthesia might not be the easiest phenomenon to put on the big screen, but Weerasethakul nails it.

Memoria

@cville_culture

The first feature film based entirely on a Twitter thread, Zola goes far beyond gimmick and social media references (see our interview with Jeremy O. Harris, the movie’s co-writer, on page 19). It is at times hilarious, terrifying, and confounding.

What began as a simple road trip to make some extra cash dancing in Florida quickly turns into a cautionary tale that proves why your mother told you not to trust strangers. And it is all true—or at least that’s what Zola wants you to believe. The film looks at the lives of exotic dancers, peering behind the curtain into the less glamorous side of the business.

Wine as an option during, or even in place of, the dessert course is often overlooked.

While some may tend toward harder spirits like bourbon or brandy around a fire, an interesting option might be the many dessert wines produced by adding brandy to wine.

This is an old and traditional winemaking technique that stops fermentation to maintain sweetness, and at the same time fortifies the wine (increases alcohol) to give it body and concentration.

The Afton Mountain Vineyards VDN (non-vintage) takes its name from the vin doux naturel style of winemaking that originated in southern France. Although these wines are sweet, the process of making them does not involve added sugar. Instead, brandy is added to grapes to stop fermentation, preventing the yeast from converting all the sugar from the grapes into alcohol and thus leaving residual sweetness in the wine. The Afton version comes in at 20 percent alcohol and is made from a blend of malbec and tannat grapes. It is full of deep plum and berry flavors combined with a pleasant sweetness. Try it paired with a blackberry cobbler, caramel-pecan pie, or anything chocolate.

2020 Keswick Vineyards Rives White Blend $27.95 for a 750ml bottle keswickvineyards.com

@cville_culture

THESE FLOWERS HAVE A LOT OF FIGHT IN THEM.

75 percent of the wine is aged in French oak barrels and 25 percent is aged in Italian terracotta amphorae for one year. The resulting wine has an elegant floral nose that hints at orange blossoms, a palate that is broad and full, with flavors of tangerine and vanilla that are almost reminiscent of a baked pastry. It finishes without sweetness and just a hint of textural astringency. Try this with a pork roast, smoked turkey, or roasted sweet potatoes.

When the temperatures are too high, even dedicated red wine drinkers have a hard time thinking about consuming big-bodied tannic wines. So, the transition into autumn is an exciting time because it’s a chance to bring out wines with more flavor and complexity. In Virginia, as in other parts of the world, varieties such as petit verdot and tannat are often utilized in blends with other red grapes to achieve deeply colored, structured, and boldly flavored wines.

The 2017 Hark Vineyards Spark is a red blend of cabernet franc, merlot, and petit verdot that was aged in oak barrels for 20 months. Deeply garnet colored, the nose is full of sweet tobacco, black fruit, and vanilla.

The taste follows the aromas, with black plum and blackberries combining with smoke, leather, and baking spices. While this has enough structure that it should age well, it also would pair well now with a steak, a smoked brisket, or a venison stew.

In addition to being used in blends, petit verdot and tannat are also being made in Virginia as single varietal wines. The 2017 Stinson Vineyards Tannat is an outstanding example of this. While tannat is a grape that brings very prominent tannins, Stinson has produced a version that reveals a lifted and elegant fruit structure of cherry and plum on top of those tannins. Aged 27 months in oak, there are also flavors of smoke, tobacco, and earth that add complexity and weight. The combination of fruit with a smoky, earthy backbone makes this a great match for barbecue, smoked sausage, or a spicy black bean soup.

Fall for these local bottlings

s summer disappears and temperatures begin to drop, wine drinkers look for more weight, more depth, and more complexity in their glass. This is, in part, to temper the chill in the air, but it also means wines that will better pair with the food of the season. Autumn leads to more roasting, smoking, stews, and heavier desserts. It also means more cooking over coals, hanging out on the deck, and time spent around open fire.

Almost all red wines fit naturally into the seasonal shift. If you stick strictly to white wines, the lean, crisp whites and rosés that were a mainstay of the beach and poolside won’t feel as substantial as wines with more weight and texture. Look to flavors that tend

toward stone fruits and tropical fruits, as opposed to just citrus notes.

Here are some new locally produced wines suited to your autumn tailgate, barbecue, or firepit.

The 2020 Keswick Vineyards Rives White is a blend of pinot gris and chardonnay that has lighter citrus fruit notes combined with deeper flavors of white peaches and apricots.

The fruit is complemented nicely by hints of vanilla. A medium weight on the palate yields easily to a crisp, acidic finish, and it would be a perfect pairing with roasted chicken or a root vegetable gratin.

The 2019 Gabriele Rausse Winery Roussanne is produced from 100 percent Virginia-grown roussanne grapes, an unusual variety for the state that is not widely known or planted. Rausse’s European roots are obvious here. After fermentation is complete,

SPECIAL GUESTS A TRIBUTE TO MARTHA PLIMPTON SATURDAY, OCT. 30 | 4:00 PM THE PARAMOUNT THEATER TICKETS: $12.00

Award-winning actress Martha Plimpton will be celebrated in a tribute event highlighting her remarkable career, in a conversation moderated by Brian Truitt (USA Today) following a screening of her latest film, Mass.

Plimpton has consistently wowed audiences and critics alike for her work on stage, screen, and television. First rising to prominence for her role in Richard Donner’s The Goonies, her many film credits have included the Disney sequel Frozen 2, The Mosquito Coast, Running on Empty, Parenthood, and Small Town Murder Songs. She was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role as Virginia Chance in the FOX sitcom Raising Hope and won the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her appearance on CBS’s The Good Wife. On Broadway, Plimpton has received Tony nominations for her roles in The Coast of Utopia, Top Girls, and Pal Joey.

Plimpton’s latest film, Mass follows a private talk between two sets of parents as they attempt to move forward, years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart.

SUNDAY, OCT. 31 | 5:30 PM CULBRETH THEATRE TICKETS: $14.00 / $12.00

The Virginia Film Festival will present award-winning writer and actor Jeremy O. Harris with the 2021 American Perspectives Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema, following a screening and discussion of Zola.

A graduate of the Yale MFA Playwriting Program and currently residing in New York City, Harris is an award-winning playwright and actor best known for Slave Play, which broke the record for the most Tony nominations for a non-musical play in 2020.

He has been honored with the Kennedy Center Rosa Parks Playwriting Award, the Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Award, and the Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences in 2018. In his first foray into screenwriting, Harris co-wrote A24’s 2021 film Zola with director Janicza Bravo. He has an overall deal with HBO and is a co-producer for the second season of the hit series Euphoria. He recently appeared on HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot.

@cville_culture

Based on the greatest true story ever tweeted, Zola follows a self-assured waitress and exotic dancer from Detroit, Zola (Taylour Paige), who is convinced by a stranger, Stefani (Riley Keough), into a weekend of stripping in Florida that quickly takes a nefarious turn.

A SPOTLIGHT ON VIRGINIA FILMMAKING MENDING WALLS THURSDAY, OCT. 28, 6:30 PM | CULBRETH THEATRE | TICKETS: $14.00 / $12.00 In the wake of the social unrest following George Floyd’s death, artist Hamilton Glass brings together 30 artists from different walks of life to collaborate, connect, and heal through art and storytelling. Based in Richmond, Virginia, the Mending Walls project pairs up artists of different backgrounds to complete a public art project that is meant to incite discussion not only amongst viewers but also between the artists themselves. Directed by Pam and Todd Hervey, this film follows the collaborative journey of some of the artists involved in the project and gives a glimpse into the healing process and educational growth that is taking place in the current day.

Lily’s grandmother begins to tell her a fairytale to pass the time, but when the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur, Lily ventures into the fairytale to find a way to save her mother. Combining fantasy elements with a human story of grief and acceptance, The Machinery of Dreams is a sweeping portrayal of the bonds that tie a family together.

Discussion with director Eric Hurt and actor Cora Metzfield, moderated by producer Jack Steinberg

For activist Robert Shetterly, the divide between art and politics is a small one. A renowned artist who painted the series Americans Who Tell The Truth – a series of portraits that have been exhibited around the country over the past two decades – Shetterly started his art work as a response to the political climate in the early 2000s. Featuring interviews with artists and activists from around the country, Truth Tellers follows Shetterly as he explores the state of the country now and what it means to be a good American.

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS STAY PRAYED UP SATURDAY, OCT. 30, 3:00 PM | CULBRETH THEATRE | TICKETS: $12.00 This foot-stomping, soul-stirring documentary follows the Branchettes, a legendary North Carolina gospel group led by the force of nature that is Lena Mae “Mother” Perry. Now in her 50th year as bandleader, Perry and her group have packed churches and lifted hearts throughout the South and as far away as Ireland. The film follows the Branchettes as they record their first, fully live album, and is a testament to the fact that music and faith are nothing without the fire that fuels them.

Anderson Supported by UVA Division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion MAYOR PETE FRIDAY, OCT. 29, 5:45 PM | CULBRETH THEATRE | TICKETS: $14.00 / $12.00 Directed by Jesse Moss of Boys State, which screened at the 2020 Virginia Film Festival, Mayor Pete follows South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg, his husband Chasten, and members of their campaign team from the days before he became the first openly gay presidential candidate, through his historic Iowa Caucus victory and campaign, to his appointment as the nation’s first LGBTQIA+ cabinet member during the Biden administration. This film is a fascinating look inside one of the most intense campaign cycles of our time, and a powerful story of perseverance and politics.

You’ve Earned An

At Home Oasis

WINNER

BEST LANDSCAPE COMPANY

By Rob Brezsny

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Jungian psychotherapist and storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estés reminds us, “In fairy tales, tears change people, remind them of what is important, and save their very souls.” I hope you’re open to the possibility of crying epic, cathartic, catalytic tears in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. According to my analysis, you have a prime opportunity to benefit from therapeutic weeping. It could chase your fears and cure your angst and revivify your soul. So please take advantage of this gift from life. Be like a superhero whose superpower is to generate healing by crying.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Filmmaker Wim Wenders said, “Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.” I’ll expand upon that: “Any experience, situation, influence, or person that supports the idea that things can be changed is great.”

This is a useful and potentially inspiring theme for you to work with right now, Capricorn. In accordance with astrological rhythms, I hope you will be a connoisseur and instigator of beneficial, beautiful transformations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fitness buff Jack LaLanne was still doing his daily workout when he was 95. He was also famous for performing arduous feats. At age 65, for example, he swam a mile through Japan’s Lake Ashinoko while towing 65 boats filled with 6,500 pounds of wood pulp. I think you’re currently capable of a metaphorically comparable effort, Aquarius. One way to do it is by mastering a psychological challenge that has previously seemed overwhelming. So meditate on where your extra strength would be best directed, and use it wisely! If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here are costume suggestions: fitness buff, bodybuilder, marathon runner, yoga master.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mardi Gras is a boisterous festival that happens every February all over the planet. One hotspot is New Orleans. The streets there are filled with costumed revelers who enjoy acting in ways that diverge from their customary behavior. If you want to ride on a float in the parade that snakes down Royal Street, you must, by law, wear a festive mask. I invite all of you Scorpios to engage in similar festivities for the next three weeks—even if you’re not doing much socializing or partying. It’s a favorable time to experiment with a variety of alternate identities. Would you consider adopting a different persona or two? How could you have fun playing around with your self-image? less bound to gravity and solemnity, and more likely to break into song. Your fears are subsiding because you have the confidence to leave any situation that’s weighing you down.

If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here’s a costume suggestion: the bird that has your favorite kind of jizz.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries philosopher Emil Cioran wrote, “When I meet friends or people I know who are going through a difficult period, I usually have this advice for them: ‘Spend 20 minutes in a cemetery, and you’ll see that, though your worry won’t disappear, you’ll almost forget about it and you’ll feel better.’” I don’t think you’re weathering a terribly difficult phase right now, Aries, but you may be dealing with more riddles and doubts and perplexities than you’re comfortable with. You could be feeling a bit darker and heavier than usual. And I think Cioran’s advice would provide you with the proper stimulation to transform your riddles and doubts and perplexities into clarity and grace and aplomb. If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here’s a costume suggestion: the spirit of a dead ancestor.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): According to some spiritual teachers, desire interferes with our quest for illumination. It diverts us from what’s real and important. I know gurus who even go so far as to say that our yearnings deprive us of freedom; they entrap us and diminish us.

I strongly disagree with all those ideas. I regard my longing as a primary fuel that energizes my drive to free myself from pain and nonsense. How about you, Taurus? In alignment with astrological omens, I authorize you to deepen and refine and celebrate the

yearning in your heart. Your title/nickname could be: 1. Yearning Champion. 2. Desire Virtuoso. 3. Connoisseur of Longing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Author Jessamyn West confessed, “I am always jumping into the sausage grinder and deciding, even before I’m half ground, that I don’t want to be a sausage after all.” I offer her testimony as a cautionary tale, Gemini. There’s no astrological reason, no cosmic necessity, that decrees you must become like a sausage anytime soon. Such a fate can be easily avoided. All you must do is commit yourself to not jumping into the sausage grinder. Also: In every way you can imagine, don’t be like a sausage.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Our fellow Cancerian, author Franz Kafka, told us, “It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.” And yes, some of us Crabs go through phases when we crave safety so much that we tolerate, even welcome, being in chains. But the fact is that you’re far more likely to be safe if you are free, not in chains. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, that’s extra true for you now. If you can celebrate Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here are costume suggestions: runaway prisoner, escape artist, freedom fighter.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Some of us yearn for allies who can act like saviors: rescue us from our demons and free us from our burdensome pasts and transform us into the beauties we want to become. On the other hand, some of us do all this hard work by ourselves: rescue ourselves from our demons and free ourselves from our burdensome pasts and

transform ourselves into the beauties we want to become. I highly recommend the latter approach for you in the coming weeks, Leo. If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here is a costume suggestion: your own personal savior.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “One of the reasons people are so unhappy is they don’t talk to themselves,” says author Elizabeth Gilbert. “You have to keep a conversation going with yourself throughout your life,” she continues, “to see how you’re doing, to keep your focus, to remain your own friend.” Now is a favorable time to try such an experiment, Virgo. And if you already have skill in the art of carrying on a vibrant dialog with yourself, now is a perfect moment to upgrade and refine it. Try this experiment: Imagine having a conversation with the Future You.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “In the absence of will­power, the most complete collection of virtues and talents is worthless.” Libran occultist Aleister Crowley wrote that, and I agree. But let’s phrase his idea more positively: To make full use of your virtues and talents, you must develop a strong willpower. And here’s the good news, Libra: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to cultivate your willpower, along with the assets that bolster it, like discipline, self-control, and concentration. If you can do Halloween without risk from COVID-19, here are accessories I recommend for you to carry with you, no matter what your costume is: a wand, a symbolic lightning bolt, an ankh, an arrow, a Shiva lingam stone or crystal.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When birdwatchers describe a bird, they speak of its “jizz.” This term refers to the distinctive character of its habitual movements, flying style, posture, vocal mannerisms, and coloring. One aficionado defines jizz as the bird’s “indefinable quality,” or the “vibe it gives off.” I’ve got a theory that right now you’re as bird-like as you’ve ever been. You seem lighter and freer than usual,

I am pro environment so I vote blue every.damn.time!

Republicans consistently undo environmental policies implemented by predecessors.

With the commonwealth’s house and senate controlled by the democrats all the gloom and doom under a Youngkin administration isn’t going to happen.

Decide what is best for Virginia. I’m voting for fresh and new ideas. @PFDAUGHERTY1959/INSTAGRAM

Turn VA RED!

They both suck.

@MIMIREECE/INSTAGRAM

PAUL DIXON/FACEBOOK

Keep VA blue! I’m not voting for the antichoice, anti-vax, antivote mini t*ump.

Meh.

I will vote for McAuliffe, prototypical politico, over Youngkin whose model is an insurrectionist who tried to overthrow American constitution last January 6th.

Like all elections, no good candidates. @DBLOND80/INSTAGRAM

Pretty sure there’s a third choice. Where’s their picture? @DIRTGOD_RAVEN_MACK/INSTAGRAM

I’m voting for the guy who believes parents must be and have a right to involve themselves in my (our) children’s education!

Two corrupt corporate tools, one more obviously toxic than the other.

Voting for Terry! Youngkin, recruited by Trump, is just a bored, super wealthy man who is dipping his toe into far-right-wing politics. Virginians aren’t buying what he is selling.

Youngkin is a Nazi wannabe.

PAUL ZAVADA/FACEBOOK

Don’t like either one of them. If Youngkin wins it will be the beginning of Trump’s next presidential run.

I agree that they’re both substandard. But, please vote for McAuliffe, the better choice in this dismal match-off.

October 27 – November 2, 2021 c-ville.com

McAuliffe was already governor and not that good. Youngkin a much better choice.

At a rally for Youngkin, they pledge allegiance to a flag used at the January 6 insurrection, maybe the one used to beat up a police officer. Go Terry! I’d vote for the groundhog in my backyard before I’d even think of voting for a Republican, and I used to be a Republican.

Lake Monticello: Resort-Style Living, Great Friends, CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

and Nonstop Trees

T

he founders of Lake Monticello (back in the 1960’s) probably had no idea the impact they would have on a slice of land between the Rivanna River and State Route 53. What they envisioned as a cozy little getaway around a man-made spring-fed lake blossomed into a thriving active community in Fluvanna County.

The weekend retreat evolved into yearround retirement and second homes.

And those buyers eventually gave way to the entire spectrum of families and households who now enjoy a lifestyle that offers the best of resort-style living while keeping nature close.

Rich in Resort-Style Amenities Lake Monticello is the largest population center in Fluvanna County with ap-

proximately 12,000 residents. Within the gated community, there are 4,635 lots, all of them sold. Owners have yet to build on 329 of them but the other 4,306 are built and occupied, 20 more than a year ago.

With more than 22 miles of coastline, there are 512 waterfront homes, and the golf course accommodates another 206 lots along its fairways.

All homeowners are automatically members of the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA) and enjoy the countless benefits that membership confers.

The lake’s 350 acres accommodate powerboats, paddlers, and fishermen.

The marina, boat launches, slips, and racks take the hassle out of owning a boat and make it easy to spend a lot more time on the water.

Water skiing, tubing, fishing, and paddling are popular. Specific areas for swimming from boats and five separate

beaches bring out sun and water lovers of all ages during the hot summer months.

Meanwhile, those who eschew sand can enjoy the outdoor pool for laps or general splashing around.

Every self-respecting gated community includes a golf course and Lake Monticello’s is public. Upgraded facilities include an expanded grass hitting area as well as the new artificial tee-line turf practice area. Seven different leagues, from the Gray Foxes to the Pink Flamingos enjoy the competition and camaraderie of the course, open all but Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. After a round, golf mates can relive each shot on the Fairway Clubhouse restaurant terrace overlooking the beautiful 18th hole.

Other dining venues include the Lakeside Restaurant, with many private dining options, The Pub for an extensive

menu and music, and the Shark Tank for corn dogs, nachos, ice cream and other casual fare.

Requisite playgrounds, ball fields, pickle ball, basketball and tennis courts, and walking paths round out the resortstyle amenities.

And Lake Monticello is just getting started.

Nonstop Trees and Nature “The first thing you notice are the trees; lots and lots of trees.” Lisa Henry moved to the Lake from Central Pennsylvania 10 years ago and is a Member Services Representative for LMOA. “People move here to be surrounded by nature.

Yes, all the amenities are great, but it’s those amenities in this beautiful backdrop that make Lake Monticello special.

We are close enough to Charlottesville to take advantage of everything they have to offer, but we get to live at the Lake every day.”

A “cabin in the woods” is how Merieke Henry, LMOA Communications Director, describes the character of the community. “I often yield to deer (even on my driveway, as we have a creek running through our property where the deer like to drink) and admire a large and diverse bird population in our mature trees.

Sightings of a bear swimming in the lake, or fox, raccoons, and even bobcats in yards are common. My favorite encounter

lake: a hawk dove down and caught a fish in front of my boat. Before I could catch my breath, a bald eagle swooped in and snatched the fish from the hawk!

You can’t make this stuff up!”

Looking for quiet, rural living after working in Northern Virginia, Margaret Loewenstein and her husband moved to Lake Monticello five years ago. They were drawn here by the country feel and natural beauty of the community. She supports an effort by residents to establish the community as a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. More than 80 of the required 150 households to achieve community certification already comply with the required practices.

And on the golf course, there’s no need for piped in bird calls! The National Audubon Society certified the Lake Mon-

66 with wildlife was while kayaking on the

ticello Golf Course for its commitment to embracing the natural environment and protecting and supporting its wildlife and habitats.

Robust Social Network At the heart of what makes Lake Monticello a great place to live is what the residents make of it. The Newcomers and Old Friends Club (NCOF) creates a welcoming community and helps neighbors become friends.

Loewenstein is Chairperson for NCOF and was greeted with more than 100 attendees at the September meeting, their first in-person gathering since COVID. “People were thrilled to be able to connect again and jump back in where we left off in the spring of 2020.

“Name whatever interest you can imagine, and we probably have a group for it. If we don’t, we can start one! Sip and savor, hiking, beer, anything goes.

Our history groups and wine tasters have the most members. As groups fill up, we start a waiting list and ask for someone to lead the new group once we have enough interested members.

“NCOF was established many years ago in response to so many people having moved to Lake Monticello from all over the country. This gave people an easy way to make new friends. Here, you can be as social and involved as you want to be. When I retired, I couldn’t have imagined having so many friends and being involved in such different activities and meaningful causes.

“It’s one of the things that is so very special about living at Lake Monticello.”

A more recent addition to that social network is the Young Residents and Families Committee (YRF). Despite its original history as a retirement community, Lake Monticello’s demographics have shifted dramatically in recent years. Marieke says, “YRF was formed to represent this change in the population and organizes many family-oriented activities.”

Buyers Keep Coming It’s no surprise that the demand for housing at Lake Monticello exceeds supply. Combine the Lake’s attractions with a seller’s market, and you have the formula for a backup of buyers.

Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker/Owner, Monticello Country REALTORS®, Inc., has lived at the Lake for 24 years. “Just like in other areas, inventory here is historically low. Some would-be sellers are staying put because they can’t find a home or are waiting for building material prices to come back down.”

“There are three main sources of the continued influx into the Lake Monticello area,” says Sandra Collins, Associate Broker with Long & Foster. “First, UVA grads and alumni are staying or coming back, especially with the viability of working from home. Second, retirees, especially those coming from the Northeast for milder weather and a lower cost of living are looking for something within striking distance of Charlottesville’s cultural attractions. They can have the Lake and nature every day and go to Charlottesville when they want. And third, new homebuyers up to about the $300,000 level can find great value here.

With current mortgage rates, buying can be cheaper than paying rent.

“It’s frustrating for buyers, but there are signs things may be shifting. Days on market are beginning to soften. Any significant increase in mortgage interest rates will eliminate a big wedge of buyers from this market.

“If you want to buy, you need to put yourself in the best position, without any barriers. I had a couple from South Carolina who wanted to move to the Lake, but they had to sell their home first.

That cut them right out of the picture.”

Wilson agrees. Buyers need to be ready to go. “We are listing homes every day; you just have to be quick and keep an eye on the market. That is what a good buyer’s agent will do for you. We see ‘coming soon’ homes on the MLS that might not appear on sites like Zillow or Realtor.com. until days later. That couple of days advantage can give a buyer a competitive edge.”

Too Much of a Good Thing?

As more buyers look to this area for affordable and amenity-rich living within a 30-minute drive of Charlottesville, builders are responding with housing developments outside Lake Monticello’s gate.

And Associate memberships at the Lake are available and offer some of the same social and golf amenities that people living inside enjoy.

Ryan Homes is building two separate nearby developments. Advertised as the

most affordable new homes in the Charlottesville area, Village Oaks has more than 100 new households living directly across from Lake Monticello’s gate. These one-level living homes with unfinished basements and two-car garages took only 18 months to sell out. Nearby, the Island Hill community of fewer than 50 homes on larger wooded lots, boast homes of four or more bedrooms.

The Villages at Nahor. Village Green.

Colonial Circle. All told, well over 500 new homes.

That much popularity is bound to generate some downsides, like traffic. Any sizable new developments receive much attention from area residents worried about the traffic sure to accompany an influx of new homes.

Collins says, “The real concern is that traffic has been increasing in lock step with the number of new homes. All those cars, and trucks, are funneled [into the area] on the same two roads. And Route 53 can be somewhat treacherous at night or in the rain. But there’s not much doubt that the buyers are there.”

No Typical Buyer Twenty plus years ago, there was a typical buyer at Lake Monticello. That’s no longer the case.

“We see empty nesters, retirees, firsttime home buyers, anyone that sees an advantage to lower prices, lower taxes, and the slower pace that the Lake offers,” says Wilson. “People come to Lake Monticello for the amenities, low HOA fees, clubs, activities, lake, and golf course. It’s a quick commute to Charlottesville and one hour to Richmond.”

The Lake will always attract weekenders or buyers retiring to a more leisurely lifestyle. But that’s not even most of them anymore.

“With more people working from home, our high-speed internet services offer that luxury” to buyers of all ages, continuing the demographic shift at Lake Monticello. “Our motto here is ‘Vacation at Home,’ but maybe we should say ‘Vacation or Work at Home.’”

Henry says, “This started as a weekend place for retirees. It has become a lot more diverse. I’m older than I am young, and I would never want to live in a 55+ community. This is so much more interesting, so much livelier.”

Merieke is surprised to find herself here after returning to Virginia from The Netherlands six years ago. She only considered Lake Monticello because rent was cheaper than in Charlottesville.

“I never desired to live in a gated community, but, to my surprise, this warm neighborhood immediately stole my heart. My husband and I soon decided to buy a home inside the gates, partly because the community is ideal for family fun. There is a great high school nearby, and my two children can walk or bike to friends’ houses. And honestly, it was the smart thing to do as the housing prices were a steal! I describe Lake Monticello as a hometown—warm, neighborly, and quiet.”

With trees. Lots and lots of trees.
