THIS WEEK For once, the good guys win. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Dominion Energy’s much-maligned natural gas project, is dead, the giant power company announced on Sunday.

As activists around the region celebrate the news, a tune dances through my head. “We don’t want your pipeline, we don’t want your pipeline / we’ll take the sunshine, the water, and the wind,” sing Middlebrook, Virginia, residents Robin and Linda Williams, plucking a bright guitar and banjo line. “We’re gonna put a stop sign on Dominion’s pipeline / Go tell your neighbors, go tell your friends.”

The couple wrote and recorded the song in 2014, when the pipeline fight began. (You can watch it now on YouTube.) As the backhoes rolled in, and the clearcutting and construction began, the tune’s steely optimism seemed almost delusional. Dominion had billions of dollars to spend. Dominion always got its way.

But in retrospect, the Williams’ plan worked to a T. “Go tell your friends”—The pipeline drew opposition from all corners of the state: Yogis in the free-spirited Yogaville commune, Baptists in the historically Black Union Hill neighborhood, upscale brewery entrepreneurs in scenic Nelson County, even Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman all voiced their opposition to the project.

7.8.20

So did the Southern Environmental Law Center, whose steady stream of litigation helped slow Dominion’s construction.

The victory belongs to these activists, people of every persuasion, who created a true grassroots movement to protect the environment and their neighbors. David beat Goliath.

There’s little rest for the weary, though. Many of the ACP fighters say they’ll turn their attention a little further west, to the Mountain Valley Pipeline, proposed to run just on the other side of the Blue Ridge. It’s a different invasive project in a different set of circumstances. But the “No Pipeline” crowd has the wind in its sails.—Ben Hitchcock

Pipeline defeated

IN BRIEF

Loan-ly at the top On Monday, the government released a list of companies that accepted loans through the federal Paycheck Protection Program, designed to keep workers employed during COVID’s economic slowdown. A variety of Charlottesville businesses accepted loans of $2-5 million, including Red Light Management, St. Anne’s-Belfield, and Tiger Fuel.

Renaming re-do An advisory committee recommended last week that recently merged Murray High and Community Charter schools be renamed Rose Hill Community School, but this suggestion immediately raised eyebrows: Rose Hill was the name of a plantation that later became a neighborhood. The committee will reconvene to discuss options for a new moniker.

energy and industrial infrastructure development in the United States,” says the energy giant’s press release.

Litigation from the Southern Environmental Law Center dragged the pipeline’s construction to a halt. Gas was supposed to be flowing by 2019, but less than 6 percent of the pipe ever made it in the ground.

The ACP had the backing of the Trump administration, and U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette blamed the “obstructionist environmental lobby” for the pipeline’s demise.

“I felt like it was the best day of my life,” says Ella Rose, a Friends of Buckingham member, in a celebratory email. “I feel that all the hard work that all of us have done was finally for good. I feel like I have my life back. I can now sleep better without the worries that threatened my life for so long.”

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is history. In a surprise announcement on Sunday afternoon, Dominion Power called off the 600-mile natural gas pipeline that would have run from West Virginia to North Carolina. “VICTORY!” declared the website of the Southern Environmental Law Center.

The news is a major win for a wide variety of environmental advocacy groups and grassroots activists, who have been fighting the pipeline on all fronts since the project was started in 2014. The pipeline would have required a 50-yard-wide clear-cut path through protected Appalachian forest, and also disrupted a historically black community in rural Buckingham County.

Dominion won a Supreme Court case earlier this month, but that wasn’t enough to outweigh the “increasing legal uncertainty that overhangs large-scale

Since at least the beginning of July, the gates of UVA’s Confederate cemetery, where a statue of a Confederate soldier stands, have been barricaded, reports the Cavalier Daily.

A university spokesman says the school locked the cemetery because protesters elsewhere in the state have been injured by falling statues.

Or maybe, as UVA professor Jalane Schmidt suggested on Twitter, “they’re tryna keep the dead from escaping.”

Activists in Buckingham have been fighting the pipeline since 2014. On Sunday, they won.

Charlottesville is one of a handful of localities that have pushed back against Governor Ralph Northam’s order to move to Phase 3 of reopening. While some of the state has moved forward, City Manager Tarron Richardson has decided to keep the city government’s facilities operating in accordance with Phase 2 requirements and restrictions. As stated on its website, this decision was made in order to “ensure the health and safety of staff and the public.”

s new cases of the novel coronavirus pop up each day, it’s become increasingly difficult for area schools to decide how and when to reopen.

And after over five hours of discussion and debate on Monday night, the Charlottesville School Board got no closer to a definite answer.

Last week, the district rolled out a proposal for reopening, which would send students in kindergarten through sixth grade to school for in-person classes—with social distancing guidelines and safety measures—four times a week. Seventh through 12th graders would be split into two groups and alternate between in-person and virtual classes throughout the week, but would work from home on Fridays. All students could opt in to online-only learning, ahead of September 8, the first day of school.

A number of parents, teachers, and other community members raised concerns about this model during public comment at Monday’s meeting, pointing to a variety of ways in-person classes could go awry.

“I believe that people will get sick,” said Tess Krovetz, a second grade teacher at Jackson-Via Elementary. “Right now we can say with some confidence that COVID-19 does not affect children the same way it affects adults. But that’s because for the most part since March we’ve kept our children home and safe. Sending them back to school is a science experiment that can— and will—lead to trauma and loss.”

Krovetz and kindergarten teacher Shannon Gillikin penned an open letter to Superintendent Rosa Atkins and the school board in support of a virtual reopening, citing case spikes due to the state reopening,

among many other concerns. To date, more than 150 staff members from across the district have signed it.

Instead of putting a large amount of time and effort into planning for in-person classes, they encouraged the board to focus on training teachers and parents for equitable distance learning.

Lashundra Bryson Morsberger was the only board member who fully supported an all-digital reopening. She believes there are “too many unknowns” about the virus, and that the community isn’t safe enough for in-person classes. She also thinks the proposed plan spreads staff too thin and does not adequately address concerns about contracting the virus, which could put them out of work “for months,” making it even more difficult to implement distance learning if schools had to shut down.

“We need to take this time to do the best plan that we can for virtual learning, instead of losing time now talking about a plan that probably in September will just be a distant memory,” she said.

Last week, more than 70 parents signed an open letter to the school district, asking for it to offer in-person classes five days a week.

Multiple speakers during public comment were strongly in favor of face-to-face classes, particularly for younger students, mentioning the equity and learning gaps exacerbated by distance learning in the spring. A significant number of parents in the district are unable to work from home, they said, and would be forced to find child care, which could lead to more risk of contracting and spreading the virus.

The board will make its final decision on either July 23 or 30.

“No matter what we do, we’re going to have someone upset with us,” concluded board member Juandiego Wade.

Factory-made Brewery, restaurant, café hint at the future of Charlottesville’s woolen mill

By Ben Hitchcock editor@c-ville.com

THE WOOL FACTORY

C

The city’s old woolen mill now houses a hybrid dining and event space.

chute cuts through the air across the courtyard. “This chute up here that doesn’t do anything had to stay,” says Wooten.

The renovators replaced all the windows in the mill, but had to install window frames that matched the originals. And the lettering on the side of the building—“Charlottesville Woolen Mill,” in squarish white sans-serif— was freshened up but couldn’t be moved, even though the words are spaced oddly, says Lizzy Reid, a public relations manager working with The Wool Factory.

The Wool Factory team says it wants to communicate the history of the building to visitors, but doesn’t have concrete plans in place.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

This 1920 photo of the mill shows the building in its most productive period.

“We’re trying to figure out where that stuff will actually go,” Wooten says. They might put historical information on the menus at Broadcloth, he says, and they “have talked about having something you can scan.”

Macfarlan says they don’t want to install a permanent plaque with historical information, because they wouldn’t be able to remove it during events.

“The names of the beers are very intentional,” says Reid, when asked about the mill’s history. In homage to the space’s original purpose, Selvedge Brewery’s beers are named after fabrics. Patrons can suck down a pint of Seersucker, Herringbone, or even Flannel No. 1.

Now, Emory says, the onus is on the city and county to make the building accessible.

Broadway Street, which leads through the Woolen Mills neighborhood to the mill, is a “super-wide street with no pedestrian facilities, no bike facilities,” says Emory. “Totally uninviting place to get to if you’re doing anything other than driving a car.”

WillowTree has said it will offer kayaks to those employees ambitious enough to commute to work via the Rivanna. That’s a creative solution, but it won’t be enough to insulate the neighborhood from hundreds of new commuters. (And brewery-goers beware: Kayaking under the influence is illegal in Virginia.)

“It’s potentially a keystone for recreation and a lot of good things happening,” says Emory. “If the county and the city figure out how they’re going to get people to and fro without destroying all the city neighborhoods around the mill.”

“We try to keep it a little bit raw,” says Brandon Wooten, the project’s creative director and a co-founder of Grit Coffee, another tenant.

“Normally you have to create the character.

We didn’t have to create the character.”

“From the point of view of the historic repurposing and renovation, I’m in awe of the place,” Emory says.

The city has classified the building as an independent protected property, which means the development team had to maintain the original building’s exterior look and clear any aesthetic changes with the city’s Board of Architectural Review.

harlottesville’s old woolen mill, peering over the Rivanna River on the town’s eastern edge, had been gathering dust for years. Now, the rubble has been cleared, and it’s time to drink beer.

In 2018, app development company WillowTree began a $25 million overhaul of the building. WillowTree’s employees will move into their 85,000-square-foot offices next year.

The Wool Factory, an adjacent 12,000-squarefoot hybrid space that includes a brewery, restaurant, and coffee shop, has just opened.

The symbiosis between the two outfits is obvious—The Wool Factory is a selling point for WillowTree, as the tech company tries to tempt employees into town, says Claire Macfarlan, The Wool Factory’s director of operations and sales, while The Wool Factory benefits from a “built-in [customer] base on top of the neighborhood.”

The mill itself was originally built in the 1790s, and has “a mixed history,” says Bill Emory, a longtime Woolen Mills neighborhood resident who’s conducted extensive research into the area’s past.

During the Civil War, the mill produced uniforms for Confederate soldiers. Union troops burned down the building, and its associated railroad bridge, when they occupied Charlottesville in 1865.

In the 20th century, the mill grew into Albemarle County’s most productive industry, and the surrounding area became a steady, white working-class neighborhood.

“They had a large, over 50 percent female workforce,” says Emory. “The people who worked at the mill were able to afford housing in the neighborhood. Of course, it was sharply segregated. There was one African American employee in 1920.”

The mill closed in 1960, and has since served a variety of purposes. Most recently, it was a storage facility.

“There wasn’t a lot of community interaction with the mill site,” says Emory. “It might have been under-used, but it was never a piece of crap. The previous owners were storing stuff in it so they always took care of the roof.”

Selvedge Brewery, one of The Wool Factory’s three dining options, leans into the setting. It’s full-on urban-industrial brewery chic: The walls are rough brick, the stools are spare metal, and an ancient Remington typewriter sits on a side table. Yellow exposed light bulbs glow from strings above the courtyard.

The Wool Factory comes by some of this character honestly. The green metal lamps that hang from the ceiling are refurbished but original. The gray and white paint— sparse enough to reveal the bricks beneath it—dates back to the building’s industrial days. An original wooden wall separates the kitchen from the dining room in Broadcloth, the Wool Factory’s sit-down restaurant.

On guard

Charlottesville’s Lee statue still stands, and continues to attract nighttime visitors.

The vandalism incidents in front of the police department and at Market Street Park are under investigation,” Hawn says.

According to the Emergency Communications Center, 30 calls were made in June about suspicious behavior in the two parks.

By June 29, Lee had been scrubbed clean, although a Black Lives Matter T-shirt hung from Traveller’s bridle. Jock Yellott, a plaintiff in the statue lawsuit against the city, sat on a bench in Market Street Park reading Aristotle in the early evening.

A stream of out-of-towners came through to inspect the statues. Rhode Islander Marlene Yang had already seen the graffitied Lee statue in Richmond. “It really opens a lot of discussion on what people think is important,” she says.

A visitor from New York, who declined to give his name, says, “For the record, we love the statues.” He had just been to Gettysburg.

“We wanted to see them while they’re still here,” says his wife.

“I don’t like having people hanging around my neighborhood with guns.”

Even the Monument Fund, which won an injunction prohibiting removal, acknowledges the statues’ days in city parks are numbered. The plaintiffs, who are still seeking attorneys’ fees, filed a motion June 5 with Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Rick Moore to partially dissolve the injunction.

The city has appealed to the Virginia Supreme Court to entirely dissolve the injunction so it can proceed under the new state law.

A statue supporter, who spoke only on the condition he not be named, is concerned about the safety of the Confederate monuments, which have been repeatedly vandalized. “People of goodwill are looking for a place to put them,” he says. “We can’t do that if they’re destroyed. Whether you like them or not, vandalism isn’t a good idea.”

While Richmond hoisted Stonewall Jackson off his pedestal July 1, Charlottesville continued to wait for the legal process to unwind.

“The nice thing about here is there’s a clear exit ramp with the motion to the Virginia Supreme Court,” says Schmidt.

“It’s slower, but at least I’m seeing steady progress.”

July 8 – 14, 2020 c-ville.com

onfederate monuments have toppled across the South since the slaying of George Floyd at the hands of police. In Charlottesville, statues of generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson still stand, and continue to attract nighttime patrols from both statue defenders and opponents.

In the wee hours of June 28—three days before a law went into effect allowing Virginia localities to determine the destinies of their own Confederate war memorials—Lee was once again splattered with red paint, and, later that night, police responded to a call about a man with a gun at Court Square Park, where Jackson resides.

Statue defenders have been on high alert for weeks: In Richmond, after the United Daughters of the Confederacy headquarters was set on fire May 31 and several Confederate monuments were graffitied, local statue supporters organized sign-up sheets to defend the generals.

Brian Lambert, a member of the Gordonsville Grays chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, called for monument guards on social media. “Here in Charlottesville, we were able to stop an assault on our local Memorials by Antifa, with the cooperation of CPD,” he wrote.

It’s the alleged cooperation with the Charlottesville Police Department that troubles anti-racist activists.

Activist Molly Conger tweeted on June 19 that when she went to check on the “confederate vigilantes,” one of them called 911, and seven police cars responded.

UVA prof Jalane Schmidt regularly leads tours of Confederate markers in the Court Square area. After a June 11 tour, “I was

stopped by police because of suspicious behavior,” says Schmidt. “They called in about 30 officers,” and had paddy wagons and squad cars circling the parks while officers questioned tour participants. She says she pointed to the armed statue defenders as those who were suspicious.

A Facebook page called Save the Robert E. Lee Statue, which lists a link to the Monument Fund, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the city for its vote to remove the Confederate generals, thanks the volunteer monument guards.

“Nightly, there are cars and people on foot casing the monuments, hoping for an opportunity to strike,” says the post. “Social media trolls have threatened to ‘dox’ the monument guards; and those standing guard have been verbally assaulted and had the Police called on them with fabricated stories of threats of harm.”

Attorney Buddy Weber, a plaintiff in the lawsuit and the group’s spokesperson, did not respond to phone calls from C-VILLE. Lambert declined to comment when contacted by C-VILLE, and we didn’t get to ask whether he was the man with a gun reported to police June 28.

Schmidt says her neighbors are “so unnerved seeing these guys with guns, that they stopped walking in the parks.”

Robert Klonoski lives across from Market Street Park and has observed the statue protectors almost every night. “I don’t like having people hanging around my neighborhood with guns,” he says.

Charlottesville Police spokesperson Tyler Hawn declined to comment on how many calls police have gotten about gun-toting statue defenders or about would-be vandals, and refused to provide any information on the June 28 call about an armed man at Court Square Park.

Sharon Harrigan’s debut novel, Half, tells the story of identical twin sisters who are so close they can barely distinguish the boundary between their minds. In Harrigan’s poetically crafted prose, the women narrate as one, and, through the death of a father that towers over their lives, as two separate people. Dealing in grief, complicated family relationships, and magical realism, Harrigan presents a complex and emotional tale of intertwined lives. The author participates in a virtual discussion of her work with fellow author Kristen-Paige Madonia. 7pm. Zoom required. ndbookshop.com.

Serendipit-cheese Former local food scene standout Polina Chesnakova pens her first cookbook

C

harlottesville lost a rising food industry star when Polina Chesnakova moved away in 2017.

The accomplished baker, chef, and blogger suffered a devastating car accident while driving to work at Greenwood Gourmet Grocery in December 2016. Most of the functionality in her left hand was gone after the crash, and she moved back to her childhood home to recover.

Charlottesville’s loss, though, may have been the wider food world’s gain. Chesnakova transitioned from cook to full-time writer after her accident, and she’s recently published her first cookbook, Hot Cheese. We spoke by phone with Chesnakova about her tome, time in C’ville, and next steps.

C-VILLE: Most folks in the Charlottesville food community know you as a baker.

What’s up with a book on cheese?

PC: It all started when I graduated from

UVA and started working at Feast!. That was my first intro to the world of artisan cheese. It was 2014, and they carried this magazine called Culture. When I moved back home, with all my injuries, I couldn’t take on a cooking job. Culture was hiring an intern for the fall.

It was through the internship that an editor at Chronicle Books found my work. They said,

‘Would you want to write a book on hot cheese?’ My dream has always been to write a cookbook and become a cookbook author.

But hot cheese was not necessarily part of that.

At that point, you’d already started your blog, Chesnok, correct?

I started the blog even before working for Culture. I knew my journey was into the food world when I graduated, and I kind of knew I had something special with my Russian-Georgian heritage. That’s where my love of food and being in the kitchen started. I started the blog to share that food and heritage, and after the accident, it became my outlet.

So the book came to you?

Yeah. The next step was coming up with 50 to 55 recipes, not having tested any of them. That was one of the hardest parts—that and bringing them all to life. My khachapuri—Georgian cheesy bread—of course that was going to be in the book. I did a Philly cheesesteak with a Korean bulgogi marinade, and that is one of my favorites. We did a Midwest hotdish. I also had a lot of influence from France and Italy and Switzerland.

How does a first time cookbook author compete with all the established writers?

Hot Cheese promises over 50 “gooey, oozy, melty recipes,” including this one for Cajun cheesey waffle fries.

What do you miss most about the C’ville food scene?

Any last messages for C’ville foodies?

mix of people. It makes the potlucks pretty interesting.

What’s next for you?

So, my first book ended up being on hot cheese. But I’m not stopping there. I’m working on a second book and getting back to my roots of baking with Piece of Cake.

Polina Chesnakova

I miss everyone. It’s just a really special community that is living and supportive. I knew that before the accident, but afterward, the outpouring of support was just overwhelming. That’s something I will always carry in my heart.

July 8 – 14, 2020 c-ville.com

I draw upon my community to support me—who do I know to collaborate with and connect with? That’s how one’s following grows. The more you put out, the more you get back. That’s why I did this cookbook. It might not be the greatest work I will ever accomplish, but it is getting me there. I think everyone has their own path.

In partnership with O.S.E. (Operation Social Equality)

There aren't enough culturally competent therapists, equipped with the lived experiences to address the unique feelings that arise when Black-death goes viral. This kick-starter fund will cover the cost of therapy for uninsured/ underinsured Black people, while pairing them with a Black Therapist. Our intentions are to help the Black community address the trauma of personal and collective pain that we often face while fighting for our humanity.

Access to therapy is a PRIVILEGE. We want to ensure that Black folks seeking professional mental health services have the ability to do so, without worrying about rationing their personal resources.

We’ve been able to serve several Black women in the Charlottesville area so far. They were in tears when we offered this service free of charge. We appreciate all donations, big or small, so that we may continue offering this crucial service to our community members.

Wilson’s unique interdependent style is based in symmathesy, exploring a natural order of connection using linoleum block prints, watercolor, pen and ink, and cut paper.

While it’s impossible to declare any one of the diverse works as a favorite, French says the submission that surprised her the most is Joo’s “Imaginary Landscape lll,” a sculpture created with handmade paper. “I was a witness to his process of papermaking, and was fascinated with the amount of effort that went into just that,” she says. “But to then have such a stunning work of art emanate from that was very thrilling to me.”

or fledgling artists, the Incubator Studio at McGuffey Art Center is an opportunity for growth. Each spring, renting artists Susan Northington and Eileen French select up-and-coming area talent to use the Incubator for a calendar year that runs from July to June, and ends with a group exhibition. “The studio has been set up to nurture and help grow these artists in their artistic practices,” says French.

This year’s show is titled “Cracked,” and like nearly all current gallery openings, it’s online due to the social distancing requirements necessary to control the spread of coronavirus.

French says the show reflects the artistic growth experienced during the artists’ time in the creative space. “At the end of an incubation period, the egg cracks open and the new life emerges,” she says. “So we felt that ‘Cracked’ was an apt title for their end-of-year show.”

The exhibition features the work of Piers Gelly, David Joo, Logan McConaughy, Lisa Philipps, Hannah ThomasClarke, and Abigail Wilson, and the artists chose their own submissions for the online gallery.

Gelly’s oil on canvas pieces are both vivid and intimate, especially “Confession,” which depicts two men in what appears to be a hushed conversation.

his review contains mild spoilers, so if you prefer to avoid them, let your main takeaway be that Irresistible is an unfunny comedy, an uneven production, and a toothless satire with a message about as clarifying in the current political climate as a Check Engine light in a demolition derby.

The second film from writer-director Jon Stewart, Irresistible follows Democratic strategist Gary Zimmer (Steve Carell), who’s attempting to reconnect his party with the voters it lost in 2016.

Battered by that defeat, he finds hope in Deerlaken, Wisconsin, the source of a viral video showing Marine Colonel Jack Hastings (Chris Cooper) standing up for the immigrant population of his hometown. Seeing an opportunity, Zimmer flies to Wisconsin, and convinces Colonel Hastings, aided by his daughter Diana (Mackenzie Davis), to run as a Democrat against Republican Mayor Braun (Brent Sexton). That campaign catches the eye of Zimmer’s nemesis, Republican strategist Faith Brewster (Rose Byrne). Soon,

the town becomes a battleground for the soul of America, gaining national attention, and outside money.

The premise isn’t terribly original, but there’s room enough for a savvy storyteller to fill it with good characters, witty repartee, and a few choice jabs at worthy targets.

Though the entire cast is talented, there’s precisely one notable character—Byrne’s Brewster—and almost no jokes worth remembering. Much of this stems from the film never figuring out how it wants to treat the audience. Are we in on the joke?

Are we supposed to find it mind blowing that our political system is corrupt?

There’s a broad tone that never gels with the inside baseball shenanigans, and the amount of effort Stewart exerts to avoid pandering is itself patronizing.

Even when satire doesn’t land, there’s always the possibility that the narrative might make things worthwhile. Sadly, it doesn’t. Zimmer is wholly unsympathetic, and the film isn’t mean enough to make him an antihero. Natasha Lyonne and Topher Grace appear as analysts who do mostly the same thing, but have contempt for the other’s methods. This ought to be a terrific pairing, and the two have excellent

The metronomic sound is only slightly muffled by a makeshift bandage cobbled together from a T-shirt and some masking tape. Spots of blood are soaked through the material and I can only imagine what her house looks like right now.

I don’t know of any official name for this phenomenon, but veterinarians often call it “happy tail,” a description that is simultaneously accurate and ironic. It can happen after any tail injury. Perhaps a bite wound, or maybe the tail got snagged on some thorns. Dogs—typically of a larger breed with a long, powerful tail—just can’t stop wagging it into things. It would heal if given the chance, but with every enthusiastic thwack, the situation worsens. The tail can become raw, swollen, and infected, and blood gets flung all over.

I’m often asked why dogs keep wagging their tail against things when it must hurt, and I honestly don’t know. I assume it’s like our inability to keep a straight face when something is funny. Some emotions are powerful enough to hijack our physical behavior, and dogs are intrinsically happy beings. They aren’t going to stop wagging, so we need to find a way to make it less traumatic.

This requires a padded bandage to protect wounds while they heal and to provide

some shock absorption. These bandages can be a challenge to keep in place, and dogs often need to wear a “cone of shame” to keep them from chewing them off again.

Depending on the extent of the damage, the bandages may need to be replaced frequently for a few weeks while everything

heals up. For that reason, this approach works best when cases are caught early and can heal faster.

In some cases, the injuries are too great to heal properly. Other times, the tail heals well, but the dog keeps developing the condition again. In these instances, the best option may be to surgically remove enough of the tail to eliminate the damaged tissue and minimize the potential for recurrence.

This can be an emotionally challenging decision for owners to make, and understandably so. Tails are so expressive and endearing; they can almost seem like a physical manifestation of a dog’s personality. It is only after a great deal of consideration (and perhaps a few weekends

Tails are so expressive and endearing; they can almost seem like a physical manifestation of a dog’s personality. of grisly house cleaning) that many people become comfortable with this outcome.

In my experience, these dogs are back to wagging their newly shortened tails as soon as they wake up from the procedure. And that shouldn’t be a surprise. Nothing ever stopped them from wagging before.

A dog who wags his injured tail can damage tissue and create a difficult medical decision for pet owners.

Babe here, and I want to know everyone’s business. I also enjoy long walks, new people, cuddling, and snoozing. I’m smart too: I respond to “sit,” “stay,” and “down.”

Howdy, I’m Ari, and I’m using my time in a foster home to practice self-care, which includes: no loud noises, lots of blankets, sunny spots for lounging, and plenty of treats.

Jenny here. I’m a sweet old gal who loves people and would prefer a quiet house. I also like walks and a good game of fetch, and I did great with cats in my foster home.

I’m Kate, and you should hear me purr—it sounds like a motorboat! I snore sometimes too, but it’s adorable (if I do say so myself). And I really dig catnip toys and wet food.

do engage in these practices won’t be shamed out of doing so. It is no revelation that there’s money in politics, political strategists lie, and partisanship blinds us to the bigger picture.

It’s certainly not Stewart’s fault that American discourse devolved the way it did, and he could not have anticipated releasing the film during a global pandemic and nationwide rebellion. But his decision to return to political satire with Irresistible is disappointing.

He’s funnier than this, he’s smarter than this.

He’s affected real change, especially with his fierce advocacy for 9/11 first responders. For many years, he was the face of bold political comedy. So why is this project such a dud?

Stewart’s previous film, Rosewater, had a sense of purpose that carried it through any problems it might have had. He felt an obligation to the film’s subject—journalist Maziar Bahari, who was arrested and tortured in Iran after appearing on “The Daily Show”—and to the viewers. It appealed to our empathy, raising real questions about unintended consequences of our actions, and keeping hope alive no matter what. It’s hard to imagine why he felt the need to reemerge five years later to tell us what we already know. It’s a bit like the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. You can see the talent and respect the intentions, but why so much pageantry to say so little?

chemistry, but the material gives them little to work with. The funniest moments in Irresistible barely rise to a chuckle, and when they’re over, it’s back to the pointless stuff.

The bigger gags are often years too late to be of worth anything, like CNN’s grid of far too many pundits at once, or Fox juxtaposing the Hastings campaign with Al Qaeda training footage. Might as well throw a Bill-Clinton-likes-McDonald’s reference in there while we’re at it.

Stewart’s tenure on “The Daily Show” is one of the greatest combinations of the right host with the right platform at the right time.

He helped cut through the noise of the Bush years, emboldening those who felt disconnected and hopeless, pinpointing exactly how our institutions were failing usand how our discourse became fractured. He did it by being funny, and by being right. Over time, though Stewart remained as funny and intelligent as ever, a negative trend found its way into more episodes. Too often, he favored individual targets over broad analysis. As the topics became murkier, like the financial crisis, the show became less bully pulpit and more soapbox, less call to action and more preaching to the choir.

The post-credits sequence of Irresistible indicates that this film might have sprung from the latter sensibility. Stewart interviews Trevor Potter, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, and the two discuss a key plot point of the film. Potter explains a legal loophole, Stewart explains it back to him, and the two laugh at its absurdity. That’s it. No strategy, no next steps.

People watching this movie will either already know what a PAC is or be lost about what they’re supposed to do about it. Folks who

LIVINGFREE FREEWILL WILLASTROLOGY ASTROLOGY CULTURE

By Rob Brezsny

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Some night soon, I predict you’ll have an agitated dream while you’re asleep: a nightmare that symbolizes an unresolved conflict you’re wrestling with in your waking life. Here’s a possible example: A repulsive politician you dislike may threaten to break a toy you loved when you were a kid.

But surprise! There’ll be a happy ending. A good monster will appear in your dream and fix the problem; in my example, the benevolent beast will scare away the politician who’s about to break your beloved toy. Now here’s the great news: In the days after your dream, you’ll solve the conflict you’ve been wrestling with in your waking life.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Love is the best school, but the tuition is high and the homework can be painful,” writes author Diane Ackerman. I’m guessing that in recent months, her description has been partially true for you Virgos. From what I can tell, love has indeed been a rigorous school. And the tuition has been rather high. But on the other hand, the homework has been at least as pleasurable as it has been painful. I expect these trends to continue for the foreseeable future. What teachings about intimacy, communion, tenderness, and compassion would you like to study next?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A single feat of daring can alter the whole conception of what is possible,” wrote Libran novelist Graham Greene. His words can serve as a stirring motto for you in the coming weeks. I sense you’re close to summoning a burst of courage—a bigger supply of audacity than you’ve had access to in a while. I hope you’ll harness this raw power to fuel a daring feat that will expand your conception of what is possible.

Scorpio

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Mary McCarthy provides you with a challenge you’ll be wise to relish during the rest of 2020. She writes, “Everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you’re older is that you really must make the self.” McCarthy implies that this epic reorientation isn’t likely until you’ve been on earth for at least four decades. But judging from the astrological omens, I think you’re ready for it now—no matter what your age is. To drive home the point, I’ll say it in different words. Your task isn’t to find yourself, but rather to create yourself. Don’t wait around passively for life to show you who you are. Show life who you are.

nations and meandering fantasies and playful explorations of your deepest depths and your highest heights. Don’t rush the process.

Allow yourself to linger in the gray areas and the vast stretches of inner wildness.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to undertake a transformative vision quest, even if the exigencies of the pandemic require your quest to unfold primarily in your inner realms. The near future will also bring you good fortune if you focus on creating more sacredness in your rhythm and if you make a focused effort to seek out songs, texts, inspirations, natural places, and teachers that infuse you with a reverence for life. I’m trying to help you to see, Sagittarius, that you’re in a phase when you can attract healing synchronicities into your world by deepening your sense of awe and communing with experiences that galvanize you to feel worshipful.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “To love well is the task in all meaningful relationships, not just romantic bonds.” The author and activist bell hooks wrote that. (She doesn’t capitalize her name.)

In accordance with the highest astrological potentials, I’m inviting you Capricorns to be inspired by her wisdom as you upgrade your meaningful relationships during the next six weeks. I think it’s in your self-interest to give them even more focus and respect and appreciation than you already do. Be ingenious as you boost the generosity of spirit you bestow on your allies. Be resourceful as you do this impeccable work in the midst of a pandemic!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “One-half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up

before you get it,” wrote author Sydney Howard. Now would be a perfect time to act on that excellent advice. Is there any obstacle standing in the way of your ability to achieve a beloved dream? Is there a pretty good thing that’s distracting you from devoting yourself wholeheartedly to a really great thing? I invite you to be a bit ruthless as you clear the way to pursue your heart’s desire.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Ellen Goodman writes, “The truth is that we can overhaul our surroundings, renovate our environment, talk a new game, join a new club, far more easily than we can change the way we respond emotionally. It is easier to change behavior than feelings about that behavior.” I think she’s correct in her assessment. But I also suspect that you’re in a prime position to be an exception to the rule. In the coming weeks, you will have exceptional power to transform the way you feel—especially if those feelings have previously been based on a misunderstanding of reality and especially if those feelings have been detrimental to your mental and physical health.

Aries (March 21-April 19): “As beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration,” said singer Laura Nyro. This is practical advice for you to heed in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, you’re scheduled to enjoy an extended engagement with rich, fertile complexity. The best teachings won’t be reducible to a few basic lessons; rather, they’ll be rife with soulful nuances. The same is true about the splendid dilemmas that bring you stimulating amusements: They can’t and shouldn’t be forced into pigeonholes. As a general rule, anything that seems easy and smooth and straightforward will probably

not be useful. Your power will come from what’s crooked, dense, and labyrinthine.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You may think that playing heavy metal music and knitting with yarn don’t have much in common. And yet there is an annual contest in Joensuu, Finland, where people with expertise in needlework join heavy metal musicians on stage, plying their craft in rhythm to the beat. The next Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship will be July 15-16, 2021. This year’s event was canceled due to the pandemic. If it had been staged, I bet multiple Tauruses would have been among the top 10 competitors. Why? Because you bulls are at the peak of your ability to combine things that aren’t often combined. You have the potential to excel at making unexpected connections, linking influences that haven’t been linked before, and being successful at comparing apples and oranges.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): In 1848, Danish King Frederick VII agreed, under pressure from liberal agitators, to relinquish some of his absolute power. Thereafter, he shared his decision-making with a newly formed parliament. He was pleased with this big change because it lightened his workload.

“That was nice,” he remarked after signing the new constitution. “Now I can sleep in every morning.” I recommend him to you as an inspirational role model in the coming weeks. What so-called advantages in your life are more boring or burdensome than fun and interesting? Consider the possibility of shedding dubious “privileges” and status symbols.

(Oct. 23-Nov.21): “It’s not always easy to tell the difference between thinking and looking out of the window,” wrote poet Wallace Stevens.

That’s a problem you won’t have to worry about anytime soon. The coming weeks will be a favorable phase for you to both think and gaze out the window—as well as to explore all the states in-between. In other words, you’ll have the right and the need to indulge in a leisurely series of dreamy rumi-

What’s your response to people who refuse to wear a face mask?

May the odds be ever in your favor.

It’s not all about protecting yourself, but those who are more vulnerable.

I keep my distance.

Also, the immature part of me assumes these folks don’t take regular showers or wash their hands after using the restroom, so it’s pretty easy to keep my distance.

Making Your Home

Last a Lifetime

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

R

eady to go with a checklist and a budget, the new owners met with the contractor and initiated a major rehab project on their just purchased home.

In their fifties, this was to be home for the rest of their lives. They moved in two months later and soon their initial pleasure turned into regret that they hadn’t consulted with an expert on aging in place.

Pam Dent, REALTOR® with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc., sees this scenario play out in so many ways. Whether a homeowner wants to stay put and upgrade the home’s look and function, or a move is in the works, many of the decisions are the same. And most often, those decisions are better informed under guidance from a pro.

For renovations, that can mean an Aging-in-Place Specialist or Living in Place Professional. “When purchasing a home, your best bet is to seek the guidance of a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®).”

Those pros will help you consider the best options for safety, comfort, accessibility, and ultimately, value; regardless of where you are in the typical life cycle.

Some houses are easier to keep for the long haul than others. But finding a home that will serve you well through your entire life is truly exceptional.

Building in flexibility is key to adjusting to life situations. Whether you are a homeowner or a buyer, by acknowledging major life cycle pressures you can evaluate layout, amenities, technology, and location to create a home you can enjoy long term.

Life Cycle Pressures You may not hit every milestone that could trigger a change in housing: leave your parents’ home, marriage, kids, empty nest, retirement, declining health.

But most likely your path will see similar pressure points, and those pressures often call the shots on what kind of home serves you best.

Two significant milestones that often trigger the need to upsize are getting into a relationship and having kids. On the other end of the spectrum is deciding to downsize due to an empty nest or the end of a relationship (typically divorce or death). Other life events like job changes, retirement, and diminished physical or financial capacity, are sprinkled throughout life.

Buying for the Long Haul According to the National Association of REALTORS®, homeowners remained in their homes an average of 13 years in 2018. This is up three years from 2008.

That time could expand if buyers look at homes that accommodate their current life cycle along with the next predictable one. One example is the beginning of the empty nest through the years where health may be declining.

Cynthia Hash, SRES® Find Homes Team Leader with Keller Williams Alliance - Charlottesville, says, “All real estate should be viewed as a long-term investment. Even if you don’t hold on to it for the long haul, it’s helpful to go into a transaction thinking about the long-term implications and possibilities.”

Sometimes the most affordable choice will cost more in the long run if it requires an eventual move that could have been avoided. Sharon Donovan, REALTOR® with McLean Faulconer, Inc. says, “Creating your ideal living situation costs money; whether that’s spending money to upgrade an existing home that doesn’t quite meet your needs or moving to a home that does. The best scenario is when you can find a home that allows you to age in place throughout an entire life span.”

“Answering the age-old question of master bedroom on the first floor or second is always a tough decision for parents with children at home, particularly when the kids are young. One area development offering ground floor masters nearly 30 years ago is Glenmore.

Because the house footprint is larger, the lots are too, meaning more work for the homeowner.”

Decoupling the first floor master and a large lot has been addressed in several ways. Peacock Hill, as far back as the 1970s, has been successful in keeping lot sizes small, even for ground floor masters. Many neighborhoods, such as Redfields southwest of Charlottesville, offer attached garden homes with exterior maintenance provided.

“An elevator is one way to solve where to put the master bedroom,” says Donovan, “as in Craig Builders’ Out of Bounds community off Barracks Road. While their original offerings of luxury villas and elevator townhomes are sold out, this model is growing in popularity. Another solution is two master suites, one up and one down. This is the ultimate house for aging in place. It has a great guest suite on the ground floor when your kids are young, and when you’re ready, you can move downstairs.”

Builder Magazine agrees. Smaller first floor master homes and those with dual master suites are in demand.

Fixing Up for the Long Haul

Cabinets that roll out and raise and lower, controls on the front of the oven; the list goes on and on of strategies that can create a kitchen and home that will work for the long haul.

Simply raising outlets and lowering light switches increases accessibility for everyone. Whether you’re a young parent carrying a baby and a diaper bag, a student coming home with a laptop in one arm and books in another, or an arthritic elder that can’t get a tight enough grip to turn the doorknob, lever door handles are another simple solution that improves life at all stages.

Find an accessibility checklist online.

But that list is only the starting point.

To get the most from your real estate investment, consult with the right professionals. A lever doorknob will show up on nearly every list of accessibility features. But an Aging-in-Place Specialist or a Certified Living in Place Professional will make sure the lever has an end return within one half inch of the door to prevent your hand slipping off and clothing getting caught.

If you’re approaching middle age or beyond, an SRES® designated agent will review the major factors affecting seniors in a real estate purchase, even if you don’t quite qualify for senior spe-

cials yet. These REALTORS® have been trained to understand and have the best information available to help figure out the ideal living arrangement as you approach your senior years.

Whether buying or renovating, technology can play a huge role in making a home livable for the long haul, and professionals can help. Everything from suggesting more charger stations and positioning Wi-Fi, to utilizing voiceactivated or condition-automated appliances, showers and lighting. We’ve come a long way since the clapper lamp in 1985; make sure you are reaping those lifestyle benefits.

Location That Keeps Delivering As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some people have a newly found freedom to live anywhere, rather than having to live close to where they work. For a location that will keep you happy for the long-term, Central Virginia fits the bill.

From climate to culture and beautiful backdrops, Hash sees clients being very deliberate about choosing Central Virginia because it is great for all life stages.

“You can come to UVA as an undergrad and be just as enthralled with the area 60 years later.” Outdoor lovers find enough enjoyment to stay a lifetime.

“When compared to the Northeast and to Northern Virginia, this area is affordable. That draws people in and makes it easy to stay. And all four seasons show up here. Any further south, winters disappear; further north and they are too severe.”

Education, medical care, restaurants and a vibrant social scene appeal to all ages.

“Condos, farms and estates, single family and attached housing, resort living, and gated and golf communities abound,” says Dent. “Choose the level of maintenance compatible with your lifestyle. If you will be traveling part of the year or have had enough mowing and trimming for a lifetime, communities that provide exterior maintenance may be a priority at any stage of your life.”

When taken all together, a home configuration that allows flexibility, amenities that support multiple life stages, and a location that meets employment, recreation, social, and service needs, it is possible to live happily, comfortably, and safely in the same house for your entire life.

Central Virginia is a great place to find them all.

If you love your home and location but it doesn’t feel particularly accessible, don’t despair. With the right bones, there is a lot you can do to make your current home accommodate whatever life throws at you. An open floor plan makes everything else easier. With open space you can situate furniture and functions with easy navigation in mind. Wide halls and 36-inch wide doors are the standard for easy wheelchair access.

After general navigation is handled, the true test of a home that can last through all life stages comes in the kitchen and bathrooms. These are where things can get downright dangerous.

Whether renovating or designing a new home, homeowners should seek guidance from skilled professionals, like Ann McKinley, Owner/Designer at Ann’s Kitchen and Bath Design.

McKinley will walk you through the basics of accessibility, like bathrooms with a true walk-in shower, bench, handheld showerhead, and grab bars. And then she’ll take it one step further by converting function into elegance. “Everyone is at risk of falling in the shower, but there’s no reason to settle for an institutional look when safety can be achieved with elegant curves and beautiful pieces.

Towel bars, shampoo and soap holders, or toilet paper holders can all serve as grab bars, if specially designed pieces are installed and supported correctly.”

The Invisia Collection is one of the luxury lines that McKinley recommends to serve double duty. “Buyers should remember that you can’t use a standard towel bar and expect it to hold a person’s weight. You need to be careful about what you are buying and how it will be installed.” A regular contractor may not be an expert in accessibility features and installation.

Whether renovating or buying, the long view will almost always pay off when it comes to the kitchen. If you’ve been in your home for a while, the first, easiest, and least expensive improvement to make is with the lighting. McKinley has seen way too many homes with a single light fixture in the center of the kitchen.

“This can be hazardous to your health!

By simply adding lights under cabinets or around the periphery of the kitchen, homeowners are amazed at the difference it can make; even in a small kitchen.”

The other half of the lighting comfort equation is glare. McKinley says, “As we age, glare becomes increasingly problematic. One strategy to mitigate glare is to choose your kitchen countertop wisely. Quartz and some other popular choices contribute to the problem, while countertops with a matte finish will reduce glare.”
