Hello, Charlottesville! Thank you for reading C-VILLE Weekly. As we were putting this issue together, we realized we had somehow ended up with multiple (fascinating) Q&As: one with new UVA football coach Tony Elliott (p. 16), another with author Kiki Petrosino (p. 25), and still one more with local bartenders (p. 27). So, welcome to the Q&A issue! In honor of that unintentional theme, I’ve decided to make my weekly letter a Q&A as well
What are some of your favorite things to do in Charlottesville as a new resident? I feel like I spend a lot of time walking and eating, which I guess help to offset one another. But some of the best experiences I’ve had have been in the town’s many bookshops. I love browsing the art sections for gallery booklets. How does living in a smaller college town versus the big city feel? College towns can feel like giant clocks sometimes, operating on the ebb and flow of students semester to semester. Parts of Richmond can have a similar pattern, too, but student haunts can be pretty loud and rowdy. I notice that Charlottesville likes to get to bed on time!
What’s your favorite machine at Decades Arcade? There are so many incredible cabs there! I think Zaxxon was the one I was most excited to play, but I played the Atari Star Wars game there for the first time and the smooth vector graphics and wacky flight controller absolutely blew my mind. So that might be my favorite. Richard DiCicco One Small Step is has than you. Over 150 have too!

In April, the 54-year-old was found guilty of inserting his fingers into a patient’s vagina without her consent at an appointment in 2017. Dean has been charged with sexually assaulting multiple female patients between 2011 and 2017, and will go to trial again in October.

reported last year—influenced his decision. In press conferences, Brackney’s attorney has emphasized that the PBA survey was commissioned shortly after Brackney had disbanded the SWAT team and disciplined multiple officers for misconduct. However, Corrigan claimed in the court filing that, though city officials supported Brackney’s decision to dismantle the SWAT team, the former chief never addressed the department morale issues brought up by the anonymous surveys. When Boyles asked the former chief to craft a plan to fix these issues, Brackney first told him she did not need a plan, then later asked him what should be in the plan. (Brackney disputes these claims, ac cording to The Washington Post.) After learn ing that multiple CPD leaders—at least 10, Boyles claimed in a Daily Progress op-ed last September—planned to leave their positions, Boyles soon fired the chief, wrote Corrigan. Brackney’s attorney Charles Tucker as serts that the court filing shows “the law is on our side.” “[The city] had an opportunity to file an answer to our complaint where they could have either admitted or denied allegations, all of which we have factual evidence to sup port,” he told The Washington Post. “Instead, they’ve filed a motion to dismiss, basically saying that even if our assertions are true, we have no case.”

An attorney for the City of Charlottesville says former police chief RaShall Brackney’s lawsuit does not prove she was discriminated against based on her sex and gender.
ore than two months after for mer police chief RaShall Brack ney filed a $10 million lawsuit against the City of Charlottesville—and 10 current and former city officials—alleging she was wrongfully terminated based on her sex and gender, the city has asked a federal judge to dismiss the suit.
He argued that Brackney’s suit does not prove the city discriminated against her based on her sex and gender, and it should beIndismissed.herlawsuit, Brackney accuses the city of firing her in retaliation against her efforts to reform the CPD, including disbanding the SWAT team, ending the department’s relationship with the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement Task Force, and disciplining and firing officers for severe misconduct.

In addition to listing the city as a defen dant in her suit, Brackney also lists Boyles; current and former City Council members Lloyd Snook, Sena Magill, and Heather Hill; Mike Wells, president of the Police Benevo lent Association; Bellamy Brown, former chair of the Police Civilian Review Board; former assistant police chief Jim Mooney; current acting Police Chief Tito Durette; City Attorney Lisa Roberts; and former city communications director Brian Wheeler.

According to The Washington Post, the city’s attorney David Corrigan claimed in a court filing submitted on August 30 that thencity manager Chip Boyles terminated Brack ney, the city’s first Black police chief, “to ensure the viability” of the CPD, which was plagued with “chaos and upheaval” under her leader ship. “The imminent threat of departures of important CPD leaders [and] the ongoing strained relationship between Brackney, City leadership, and community stakeholders” also fueled Boyles’ decision, Corrigan wrote.

Five-lane Richmond Road is notorious for late-night speeding, says Peaslee. While the speed of the BMW motorcycle that struck Davis has not been determined, after it hit him, it totaled a parked Mercedes at the deal ership there and its driver, Robert Nikodem, was hospitalized for weeks, she adds. Nikodem has been charged with driving under the influence. Assistant Common wealth’s Attorney Lawton Tufts declined to comment on the case, and says the investiga tion is ongoing. C-VILLE was unable to reachWhileNikodem.Richmond Road has seen two pe destrian fatalities in the past two years, it’s not the deadliest road in the county. The worst, says McDermott, is U.S. 29 from the city limit at Hydraulic to Hollymead. “Cur rently there are only two designated pedes trian crossings,” he says. “Drive on 29 any day, you’re going to see pedestrians dash across four or five lanes to the median.” He says, “I consider that our most unsafe corridor for pedestrians.”
Police posted a ped safety graphic on social media to lay out the best practices for walk ing, especially on roads without sidewalks or Willcrosswalks.Davis was “quite adventurous,” a big biker and walker who was interested in community permaculture, mushrooms, and music, says his mother. His family describes him with the phrase, “Where there’s a Will, there’s a way.” Peaslee may be channeling her son in her efforts to prevent such accidents with safer crossings and attention to speeding and drink ing. “I’d like his memory to live on as a safe crossing so that this doesn’t keep happening.” She sighs. “It’s just so slow to get anything done.”
early a year ago in the early hours of September 13, 2021, Sarah Peaslee got the knock on the door no parent ever wants to hear. A police officer told her that her son, 29-year-old Will Davis, had been struck by a motorcycle crossing Richmond Road—U.S. 250 east—and died instantly. “Will was coming home from a friend,” she says. Will, the grandson of Charlot tesville Observer founder Kay Peaslee, was staying with his mother at Carriage Hill on Pantops, and she acknowledges he jay walked. “He was jaywalking because it’s frustrating to try to cross.” Richmond Road is not the only Albe marle County road built to move cars, not pedestrians, and eight pedestrians have died on county roads since 2016, compared to the five deaths in Charlottesville’s city limits over the past 10 years. Through the ’80s and ’90s, “the flow of ve hicles was considered more important than pedestrians,” says Kevin McDermott, Albe marle’s director of planning. At U.S. 250 on Pantops, “we had eliminated all of the op portunities for pedestrians to cross from the [Rivanna] river to I-64. The sidewalk system is inadequate and that’s why we’ve ended up with a road not safe to walk along or to cross.”
The 250 Access Management Project would close the center lane used for both right and left turns, which LaPisto-Kirtley dubs the “suicide lane,” and put in a median. The project should be ready for public feed back in spring 2023, with construction two years after that, says McDermott. The recent federal infrastructure bill offers a Reconnecting Communities grant, dedi cated to those areas—often African Ameri can—that previously were cut off from eco nomic opportunities by transportation infrastructure. The county is applying for a grant, says McDermott, to “identify places we want to enhance safety.” Plans for U.S. 29 include a pedestrian bridge north of Hydraulic at Zan Road, and an at-grade crossing south of the Hydraulic intersection, he says. And unlike in the past, when adding more lanes was often a solution to traffic woes, “We don’t do any major transporta tion projects without a major pedestrian component,” McDermott says. Albemarle traditionally has a higher num ber of traffic fatalities than the city, and county police are using public outreach, pub lic education, and targeted enforcement to address dangerous behaviors by all road users, says county spokesperson Emily Kilroy. With the shortage of school bus drivers and more children walking to school, pe destrian safety is an even bigger concern.

One option Albemarle’s Board of Super visors likes a lot is photo speed cameras, which warns drivers, snaps pictures of speeders, and sends a ticket in the mail, but that may be a long-shot in photo-ticketingaverse Virginia. “It’s very effective,” says Supervisor Bea LaPisto-Kirtley. “To me it seems like a nobrainer. We have to use technology because we don’t have the people to enforce speed limits.” Photo speed cameras are at the top of the board’s legislative agenda, she says.

Delegate Rob Bell carried a photo speed camera bill in this year’s General Assembly, but he says it was geared toward two-lane rural roads where it’s unsafe for police to ticket safely. That bill died in subcommittee.

“The sidewalk system is inadequate and that’s why we’ve ended up with a road not safe to walk along.”
And when a bill fails 10-0, “I’m not plan ning to bring it back,” he says. Albemarle is looking at other ways to make crossing multi-lane thoroughfares safer, says McDermott. Pedestrian crossings are in design for Richmond Road at Route 20/Stony Point Road and at Rolkin Road.

The bus driver shortage in Albe marle and Charlottesville is creating chal lenges for schools, drivers, kids, and parents. “It’s an inconvenience,” says Teresa Green, a mother of two students at Charlottesville High School. Green and her family live in the Fry’s Spring neighborhood, and both her kids rode a bus to public school until the driver shortage changed that in the 2020-21 school year. “My son did bike a couple of times to Buford, but I was always worried,” says Green, who has now arranged a carpool for her kids—a neighbor drives them in the morning and she or her husband do afternoon pickup. This summer, in response to the severe driver shortage, Charlottesville City Schools announced a plan to address the problem: expanded walk zones of varying distances, depending on student age, as well as “walking school buses,” in which students would be led by an adult on foot. But even though Green’s neighborhood is far beyond acceptable walking distance at 4.4 miles, including a long stretch on Fifth Street, only one of her children was offered a seat on a bus. She declined it. “What if there’s a parent out there who doesn’t have a car or who doesn’t have ac cess or whatever?” she says. “I don’t want to take somebody else’s seat because we don’t really have a way of knowing if there’s kids who have more needs than my kids.”
AERIALSKYCLAD
“We began last year with about 8,000 students requesting bus service. And it turns out that about 5,000 students actu ally rode our buses,” he says.
Smith, who took the job so he’d have time in the middle of the day to care for his ailing mother, is hoping that some of the school system’s recruitment efforts, in cluding higher pay and immediate employ ment start times, will help fill the empty driver spots. Recruiting single parents, who can bring their kids on the bus, and other people who need a job that leaves their midday free also helps. “Making it look like a cooler job,” he says. “When you say to somebody, ‘Come drive a bus,’ they go, ‘Oh my God, I can’t keep up with them kids.’” He laughs. “It’s not that hard to put up with these kids, I swear.”
Both Gurley and Giaramita say the pan demic exacerbated the already developing shortage, and Albemarle school bus driver Earl Smith agrees. He estimates about 75 percent of the Albemarle drivers were re tirees doing the job for the benefits.
“Some of our most vulnerable students can potentially be impacted by this, meaning that on inclement weather days, they can’t just jump in the car with mom and come to school because the car doesn’t exist,” he says, noting that community partners have offered rainy day transportation and assistance. Albemarle County is also dealing with a severe school bus driver shortage, and since much of the area is too rural for stu dents to walk, spokesperson Phil Giaram ita says many parents are driving and form ing carpools to ease the burden.
Charlottesville Schools Superintendent Royal Gurley says that’s an issue the ad ministration considered.
Sims says she faced numerous chal lenges on her path to becoming a cosme tologist. While a high school student, she says teachers tried to prevent her from enrolling in the cosmetology program at Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Edu cation Center. However, with help from her mother and an advocate, Simms was eventually able to graduate from the pro gram. She then worked to gain more ex perience in her field, but often faced dif ficulties getting hired, or was fired shortly after starting a job—because she was in a wheelchair, she says. “I would go work for someone. They would love my work and what I can do, but after a while when customers started roll ing in, I would come in and they would set my stuff outside and [say], ‘We no longer want your services here. It takes too much space for your chair,’” says Sims. “I’m tired [of] people telling me I have the job, and I’m sitting around waiting on them, and they’re telling me, ‘Oh, we de cided to go with another candidate,’ after they’ve told me they’ve hired me,” she adds. Sims was inspired to fully pursue her lifelong dream after meeting award-winning artist Mary J. Blige in February. Sims had posted a TikTok video, which included Blige’s song “Good Morning, Gorgeous.” Sims’ account, @1uniquechairgirl, has over 300,000 followers, and features videos about Sims’ life as a disabled person—and that video caught Blige’s attention. Soon, she was invited to have a virtual conversation with the singer on “Good Morning America.” “[Blige] was the one that was like, ‘India, you are important. I see you [and] what you’re trying to do—do it,’” says Sims. Sims is currently working to raise $100,000 on GoFundMe for her spa. On October 8, she will also host a pajama party fundraiser at Vault Virginia. Tickets ($20) can be purchased by contacting Sims at Afteriadbuttercup85@gmail.com.openingherspa,Sims hopes to franchise the business, allowing other dis abled people to own additional locations. “I just want people to wake up and [know], ‘We are normal. We’re not a li ability. We have dreams. We have a life. We have to work just like everybody else,” says Sims. “We are normal. We’re not a liability. We have dreams. We have a life.” INDIA SIMS

India Sims is raising money to make her lifelong dream of owning her own business come true.
“While I was having surgeries, I dreamed [of] two things: becoming a singer because I used to sing a lot, and I always wanted to own my own shop,” says Sims, a 37-yearold mother of two. “I wanted to be a hair stylist, a massage therapist, an esthetician.”

A t 10 months old, India Sims was sent to the hospital for a chronic ear infection. A doctor decided to give Sims a spinal tap to help diagnose the infection—but inserted the needle into the wrong part of her back. She soon be came partially paralyzed, and suffered from constant fevers and seizures.
Now, Sims, a licensed cosmetologist, is working to bring her dream to fruition. By next year, she wants to open her own Char lottesville spa, called NrUnique-Broken imagination, for disabled people who “want to enjoy a luxury life and not have to worry about certain accommodations,” she says. Sims plans to hire other disabled cos metologists, and offer a variety of services, including hair, nails, massages, and waxing.
Over the next decade, Sims, who was born and raised in Crozet, had over 30 surgeries. Though doctors tried to restore the use of the lower half of her body, her legs and feet were permanently paralyzed. Her family tried to sue the doctor, but were unable to find a lawyer to take their case.

Tony Elliott, the Cavaliers’ new head football coach, comes to UVA after more than a decade at Clemson University, where he helped lead the Tigers to two national championships.
New UVA football coach Tony Elliott hits Grounds running BY JACK KEAVENY

the
Game changer
C-VILLE Weekly: With your experience as both an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Clemson, it’s no surprise that you garnered interest from other schools. Why did you feel that Virginia was the best fit for you? Tony Elliott: I felt Virginia was the best fit because it matched the profile that I set forth, about three or four years before, of the school that I would want to transition to. It started with high academics, and that was important because at the end of the day, education is the most important thing. Football is prevalent in a guy’s life at this point, but long-term, education is the key, and to have an institution like Virginia and the brand recognition from an academic standpoint, and just the overall quality of the educational experience that you re ceive here was important for me. An opportunity to build something the way that I wanted to build it and not necessarily have to be influenced by a bunch of external forces. The op portunity to play in a competitive conference that sets you up to have a chance to compete on a na tional level. Those were the big things, and the thing that sealed the deal was just the relationship that I was able to establish, as quickly as I was, with [UVA Athletic Director] Carla [Williams]. When you go through the interview process, it’s very difficult to kind of foster a relationship, but there was an instant connection between Carla and myself. Coming from Clemson, coaching under Dabo Swinney, what did you learn from him in regards to building a strong team culture and creating a winning environment? You have to be very intentional in what you’re do ing and you have to put actions behind your words. It can’t just be bulletin-board material, it can’t just be pictures on the wall, you gotta be able to feel the message, see the message whenever you step into that environment, and ultimately, your culture that you create is what’s either going to take you to the top, or it’s gonna hinder you from going forward. Everybody wants to win games, but sometimes wins can be a false indicator of what the true climate is within your locker room and within your pro gram. The key is just to focus on making sure you have a solid foundation based off the right things and build from there.
The big question for this team remains the defense, which allowed 31.8 points per game last year.
I think if you get that, the rankings will take care of themselves because the culture and the guys that you do recruit are gonna recruit for you in the future and continue to allow you to sustain the high rankings that Clemson has had.
There’s gonna be some times where it may not appear to be successful but you gotta look at the totality of it: What is the commitment level? It’s not just the statistics on the sheet, and also what are some of the unintended benefits of things that get overlooked.
UVA has had a difficult time in recent years establishing a strong running game. What’s your plan, given your past experi ence and success in this area? It’s risk-reward. You have to stay committed to it.
ROBINSONJOHN UVA football began the Tony Elliott era with a 34-17 win over the University of Richmond.
E
To start, you gotta make sure that they fit the profile—and what Coach Swinney was able to do at Clemson was pretty remarkable, he was actu ally able to change that profile to where you wanna be more selective in the guys and pay attention to the whole person, not just the ath letic pieces, so that’s what I take away and I think that fits here at UVA. Also, making sure you recruit locally. The more times guys can be on campus—as we say “on Grounds” here at UVA—the more invested they’re going to be, and what you’re looking for is high character, high academic guys, that are good foot ball players, but more importantly, they love to play football and they’re invested.
Undaunted by a challenge, Elliott, who overcame a difficult childhood, including family separation, the death of his mother in a car accident when he was 9, and time without a permanent home, names faith and sports as two grounding forces in his life. He spoke to C-VILLE via Zoom about why Vir ginia’s a good fit for him, how to create a winning football environment, and the joys of getting dirty on a four-wheeler.

very new season offers a clean slate—and the op portunity to dream big. The UVA football faithful are dreaming especially big this year, with the ar rival of new head coach Tony Elliott. Leaving last season’s disappointing 6-6 record behind them, the Cavaliers and their fans are optimistic about Elliott, who plans to bring a newfound level of achievement and excellence to the UVA gridiron. Elliott began his football career in 1999 as a walkon wide receiver at Clemson University, earning first-team All-ACC academic honors. He left an engineering career in 2006 to become a football coach at South Carolina State, and then spent three seasons at Furman University before returning to Clemson in 2011. There, he worked his way up the coaching ranks to become the team’s assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, helping lead the Tigers to two national championships in 2016 and 2018. Along with his leadership and championship experience, Elliott brings a new offensive coordina tor, Desmond Kitchings, as well as defensive coor dinator John Rudzinksi to UVA’s football staff. The Cav’s offense, led by star quarterback Brennan Armstrong, looks to continue the success it found last season, when it finished third in the country in total yards per game and 21st in points per game.
Clemson has consistently had highly ranked recruiting classes over the past decade. What did you learn from your time there about the recruiting process, and how do you plan to apply that knowledge at UVA? I think that UVA’s recruiting is a little bit different than Clemson’s, just because of the academic pro file. Clemson—that’s where I got my degree, and it’s a great institution—but at Virginia, I think there’s some different parameters that you have to make sure you evaluate to be successful because things are structured a little different here.
My general opinions are that there are good inten tions from the NCAA in the direction that they’re going, trying to allow for resources to be provided to student athletes. I do have reservations, just as anybody would about how you provide those re sources to young people.
Your play-action game may increase because of your commitment to run the football, even though your production may not be stellar on the stat sheet, your commitment to run the ball forces the defense to be honest. So even though your rush game may be down, but your commitment to being consistent and sticking with it pays dividends in other areas—your screen game can improve, your play-action shots can improve, so the other things that complement and come off of your game will be able to improve as well.
I think McKale Boley will do that on the offensive line. He’s been a guy that’s really showing that he loves to compete, he’s a fast learner. He came in with good size on him and good development. Still would benefit from a year in the weight room, but I think he’s physically in a position where he could contribute as a freshman. I think Houston Curry, down the road, the other offensive lineman is gonna be a really good player. Xavier Brown has done a good job, Terrell Jones, on the D-line, I think we hit a home run on him. I think he’s got a very high ceiling. We may not see it this year, just because of the depth that we added on the D-line with the grad transfers but I think that by the end of his career, we’re gonna look back and say “we got a steal right there.”
Are there any places in Charlottesville that you’ve taken a particular liking to?
I’ve been pleasantly surprised and pleased with the rate at which they’ve improved during the spring and fall camp.
19September7–13,2022 c-ville.com facebook.com/cville.weekly
Do you have any opinions on the current direction of college football as a whole, with the recent changes to transfer rules and conference realignments?
The defense looks a lot different than in the spring, with the addition of the four grad transfers along the defensive line. That’s been huge, they’ve added com petition. [Ben] Smiley’s really emerged and developed as a guy that’s been in the program, but hadn’t had a whole lot of production and now you’re seeing him start to emerge. [Aaron] Faumui and Jahmeer Cart er, he was just a younger guy that’s really taking his nutrition seriously, he’s in the best shape he’s ever been in, so I feel like we got more depth on the D-line, which will help protect the back end. We got some guys on the back end that are coming off of injury that gotta get themselves game-ready, so they’re gonna need to be protected. I feel good about our linebacking core, I think we got some talent at the linebacking core but it’s just gonna be a function of how quickly can these guys gel as a unit, because we have some talent in spots but we gotta be able to mesh it all together so we can become a unit that can get a stop when we need to get a stop.
Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of football?
“You have to
It’s great that they’re making opportunities, but I think there should be just a little bit of structure, and some consistency too. I think we’re in a stage now where it’s constantly changing, and I think all of us, in our lives, are looking for a little more structure, a little more discipline, a little more routine.
Another big question for this team is the relative inexperience of the offensive line after losing all five starters from last season. How confident are you in that unit?
You guys have a tough stretch of games later on in the season going against Miami, UNC, and Pitt. How do you typically prepare a team for a difficult stretch like that? It starts with the mindset that you attack fall camp with, and understand that every game is a season in itself. You have to play every game like it’s the biggest game of the season, and know that there are no easy games, there are no off games.
The addition of [John Paul] Flores—he’s a guy that played a lot of football at Dartmouth, so even though he’s a new starter for us, he’s started a bunch of games, so he plugs in there. [Derek] Devine has been here for a while, hasn’t played a ton, but he’s got a lot of experience just being an older guy with practice, so he won’t be overwhelmed. That’s gon na allow [Johnathan] Leech, once he comes back, he’s another guy that is a veteran, just was behind other players so we got some pieces that we feel like can generate leadership that we need up front. They’ve got some veteran experience from a prac tice standpoint, and just being around the program. They have to gain some game experience, but I feel good with having three guys that got some age to them, so to speak. Then we got Logan Taylor who is as talented as any young guy I’ve been around, he just has to develop—and he was injured in the spring—so I think we’re gonna have a good nucleus of guys, we just gotta keep them healthy and again, take the lumps of learning. But I think before it’s all said and done, they have a chance to gel together as a starting five and give us a chance to compete.
Yeah, I say I like to get dirty, so I don’t mind riding side-by-sides and four-wheelers. My boys like dirt bikes. I don’t fish, I don’t hunt—I do love baseball.
I’m trying to think of the other guys. [Sean] Wil son, he’s got a big long body, more developed than Lavel [Davis Jr.] as a freshman, just physically, so I’m excited about him. I think Bracey, Steve Bracey, is gonna be a good player for us at linebacker.
Everyone is excited to watch UVA’s high-powered offense, but what can you tell us about the way the defense looked in camp?
In the offseason, I get to spend a lot of time watch ing my boys play baseball. I’m a homebody, so if I’ve got a couple hours, I don’t mind just sitting on the couch and watching a good movie and getting away for a little bit.
Are there any standout freshmen who you expect to make an impact right away?
The Local has some really good food, I’ve been there. Unfortunately, because of the way the re cruiting calendar is and the way my schedule is, a lot of times when I do venture out into the city it’s because of a recruiting function, so I haven’t had a chance to visit everywhere. All I really know is 250 and 29. I know how to get to Crozet and back, and I know how to get to Stonefield and back, and that’s about it as of right now.
You cannot play to an opponent, you cannot play to a situation. You have to respect every sin gle game and if we can develop that mindset, then every game, all 12 games, is gonna be a tough stretch because we know that on any given Satur day, any opponent that we play is capable of com ing out with the victory.

C-VILLE Weekly: Though your poetry has embraced aspects of memoir, Bright marks your first book of prose exploring personal history. How did you decide to make this shift? Kiki Petrosino: I consider this to be a really exciting expansion of my writing practice. Over the past sev eral years, I became really in trigued by how difficult it is to write an essay. I can anticipate how it will feel to write a poem; I couldn’t anticipate how it would feel to write an essay but I wanted very much to write sentences and paragraphs and hear how my voice would sound in that form.

202213,–7September25 c-ville.com facebook.com/cville.weekly@cville_culture CULTURE THE WORKS
As you explore the lives of your Black ancestors in Bright, you continue your work to examine the legacy of Thomas Jefferson, which is also a recurrent theme in your poetry. How has that evolved over the course of your work?
I wanted the reader to understand the term “brightness,” and that it is both a physical
I wanted to ask what does it mean to me to have this descriptor applied to me and what relationship do I have to the term … to see if the memoir could allow me to claim that term in a way that is resonant for me and doesn’t necessarily connect to what other people say brightness is.
UVA professor and poet Kiki Petrosino expands her story through prose
Firmament of referentiality
Bright also explores your Italian grandfather’s life and death by suicide. How did you decide to include his story?
In the memoir, I wanted to talk about how I would observe my Italian grandfather’s relationship with nature. In thinking about his influence on my life, I couldn’t not also talk about his death and how that affected me. Also, as it hap pened, I was majoring in English but minoring in Italian, which I had started studying because I wanted to learn his language. So, while I’m trying to learn this lan guage and read the literature—en countering Dante’s Wood of the Suicides—in my memory, that corresponded to that particular moment of my grandfather’s death, and so it also points to how my literacy was shaped. It isn’t only the high points that have gone into making you who you are, but it’s also the grief. All of those things are mar bled into experience and so I could not leave that out of the memoir.
For me, writing becomes complete when it’s shared with other people. To be able to share this work that I was putting together during a time of really close quarantine and lock down, and all the isolation that many artists felt, it’s going to be meaningful to actually bring that out into the world and speak it in words. And the audiences at New Dominion are always so wonderful. It’s going to be an honor to read there for the community.
When I wrote my last poetry book, I found myself reading works of history, looking at primary sourc es. When I was writing the mem oir, I was putting this together during the height of the pandem ic and all the archives were closed. So what I had was my memory of what works of literature were in my personal lexicon, my own fir mament of referentiality. I encountered Dante at a pivotal point in my literary ed ucation, so that work became entwined with my literacy. The same with Beowulf, with Shakespeare. So I wove together the mem oir not having to do, and not being able to do, outside research, but thinking about the tangle of literacy that I could tell. Those are the works that came out.

Is there anything in particular that you’re excited to share with local readers at your upcoming event?
In her memoir Bright, Kiki Petrosino relates her experience as a Black American of interracial background through fairy tales and literary references to Shakespeare, Thomas Jefferson, and Dante. Read an expanded version of this conversation online at c-ville.com.
What led you to structure Bright around fairy tale interludes, and how do you hope that shapes the reader’s experience? I am interested in the way that fairy tales are allegorical. Bright is a memoir that tells the story, in part, of my own life living as a Black American of interracial back ground. And because my external appear ance announces that fact, what I often en counter, especially when I first meet people, is that I can tell that there is a story about me that they’re telling themselves. And those stories may or may not match up with my lived reality. In a society where, historically, the optical marker of race has been so de terminative of someone’s experience, I want ed there to be a place where I talk about how I came to be but also how it feels to be this self. And so the language of fairy tales seemed to overlay quite well onto the kind of investigation I was making.

A s a poet, Kiki Petrosino has published four collec tions, including most recently, White Blood: A Lyric of Virginia, and received the Pushcart Prize and the Rilke Prize, among other awards and fellowships. As a prose writer, her first full-length book, Bright: A Memoir, published in August, and she will give a read ing from it on Friday, September 9, at New Dominion Bookshop.
I continue to approach Jefferson with fasci nation and curiosity. That doesn’t mean I take an uncritical view of him, that I don’t see what his vision excluded as much as what it included. It means that I walk a line be be learning. And I always want to be in a position of learning.
You write that, “To write a poem is to assert one’s attachment to the materiali ty of language, but it also requires the poet to assume the openhanded posture of a questioner.” What questions did you grapple with through this work?

What he wants you to know: “There is a lot going on. We are constantly searching for that balance between production and service. It’s not personal when we step away to grab something or drop another guest’s check— we are still listening. There are a lot of mov ing parts behind a busy bar, but they all require our attention to keep things running smoothly. So when things get hectic, we are still there to make your favorite drink and swap stories, but we are also working to make sure that the people on the other side of the room are getting the same treatment.”

When COVID-19 forced the service industry to grind to a halt, many of the people who worked in it suddenly found themselves not only without work, but without the interac tions that make one choose a career in hos pitality. Getting back to the grind hasn’t been without hurdles, but it also brings a renewed sense of pride in the craft. There is a magic that occurs when everything is running well in a restaurant. It’s a hum of passion and hard work coming together for the guests, so while your bartenders are doing their best to adapt the swan method of looking graceful and composed on the surface, know that there is a strong possibility that, beneath the calm, they are paddling like hell.

Know ing what you like, and perhaps more impor tantly what you don’t like, helps put us on the right track to recommend something you will enjoy. Everything isn’t made for every drinker, so throw us some additional qualifiers on what you are looking for.

Wisdom from the wells
B artenders have long been relied on as secret keepers and unofficial therapists. There in times of joy and times of sorrow, observing real life at one of the last true gathering places in our increas ingly tech-driven world. In the current era of sitting down at the bar, more and more conversations are happening around the aging concept that the customer is always right. This isn’t to say that bartenders are any less excited to serve you, it is in fact the very basis of what they do, but perhaps it’s time to take a closer look at the goings-on behind the bar, and bring a bit more aware ness to the next round. Where one person sees a margarita, an other sees an entire litany of things—the tequila that serves as the backbone, the lime juice that hopefully was squeezed just hours before, the delicate addition of sweetener, a necessary component that should provide balance without being cloying. These thoughts happen simultaneously along with observations of half a dozen oth er things taking place around them. If you’ve ever had a drink with someone who is, or has been, a bartender you have likely wit nessed this silent analysis. In that spirit, and in celebration of the simple joy of a wellmade cocktail, here are some insights from area bartenders—things they wish more of their customers knew about life behind bars.

There might be a specific version of a Manhattan that you love to make at home, but when we have created a version that has been tasted and tweaked to just the right place, be willing to go with it! It’s rare that any bartender you encounter is there with zero experience, so allow yourself to put your night into our hands. You might end up with a favorite new experience that you didn’t even know was an option.”

What she wants you to know: “Regulars are important, but if we are doing it right, we have a lot of them. Sometimes between mak ing the drinks, running food, answering the phone, and making sure everyone is having a good time, we might forget your name or your regular drink order. It’s nothing per sonal, so don’t hesitate to remind us by say ing your name or ordering that favorite drink we make for you without having us guess. We are working hard back here to make sure you want to come back!”
What he wants you to know: “Spirits are more versatile than you might realize. There are significant variations that exist within each category, and taking the time to expe rience those differences is not to be over looked. With the resurrection of classic cocktails, more people are getting accus tomed to seeing these spirits in elevated uses, but tasting them in neat form allows you to enjoy the craftsmanship that goes into a wellmade bottle of spirit.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are blessings in every abyss. You, of all the signs in the zodiac, have the greatest capacity to find those blessings and make them yours. Likewise, there is an abyss in each blessing. You, of all the signs, have the most power to make sure your ex periences in the abyss don’t detract from but enhance the blessing. In the coming weeks, dear Scorpio, take maximum advantage of these superpowers of yours. Be a master of zeroing in on the opportunities seeded in the dilemmas. Show everyone how to home in on and enjoy the delights in the darkness. Be an inspirational role model as you extract redemption from the messes.
are woven together and complementary. That’s why so many of you are connoisseurs of love that’s both tough and tender. You can be effective in seemingly contradictory sit uations that confuse and immobilize others. All these skills of yours should come in handy during the coming weeks. Use them to the hilt.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dream up creative solu tions to problems that haven’t fully materi alized yet. Then you can apply your discov eries as you address problems that already exist. In other words, dear Aquarius, I’m telling you that your uncanny facility for glimpsing the future can be useful in en hancing your life in the present. Your almost psychic capacity to foretell the coming trends will be instrumental as you fix glitch es in the here and now.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): As a Taurus, you are al ways wise to be reverent toward your five senses. They are your glorious treasures, your marvelous superpowers, your sublime assets. In the coming weeks, they will serve you even better than usual. As you deploy them with all your amazement and appre ciation unfurled, they will boost your intel ligence. They will heighten your intuition in ways that guide you to good decisions. You will tune into interesting truths that had previously been hidden from you. I suspect your sensory apparatus will be so sharp and clear that it will work almost as extrasenso ry powers.
34September7–13,2022
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “To love oneself is hard work,” declares Virgo author Hanif Abdurraqib. He adds, “But I think it becomes harder when you realize that you’re actually required to love multiple versions of yourself that show up without warning throughout a day, throughout a week, throughout a month, throughout a life.” Let’s make that your inspirational strategy, Virgo. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to refine, deepen, and invigorate your love for all your selves. It may be hard work, but I bet it will also be fun and exhilarating.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my favorite Sagittar ians is practical mystic Caroline Myss, who was born with sun and Mercury and ascendant in Sagittarius. In accordance with current as trological omens, I’ve gathered six of her quotes to serve your current needs. 1. There isn’t any thing in your life that cannot be changed. 2. When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful. 3. Healing comes from gathering wisdom from past actions and letting go of the pain that the education cost you. 4. The soul always knows what to do to mud, sand, and clay. I think you should reg ularly touch the actual earth with your hands and bare feet. If I’m out hiking with a Cap ricorn friend, I might urge them to sniff blooming mushrooms and lean down to kiss the exposed roots of trees. Direct encounters with natural wonders are like magic potions and miracle medicine for you. Moreover, you flourish when you nurture close personal relationships with anything that might be described as foundational. This is always true, but will be extra true for you in the coming weeks. Your words of power are ker nel, core, gist, marrow, and keystone.

On the other hand, your talents for feeling deeply and tapping into your intuition can
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Author Jean Frémon says Cancerian naturalist Henry David Thoreau “always had two notebooks—one for facts, and the other for poetry. But Thoreau had a hard time keeping them apart, as he often found facts more poet ic than his poems.” Judging from your current astrological omens, Cancerian, I suspect you are entering a time when facts will be even more poetic than usual. If you open yourself to the magic of reality, the mundane details of everyday life will de light you and appeal to your sense of won der. Routine events will veer toward the marvelous. Can you bear to experience so much lyrical grace? I think so. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): “What good is it if you read Plato but never clean your toilet?” writes author Alice Munro. To which I add, “What good is it if you have brilliant breakthroughs and intriguing insights but never translate them into practical changes in your daily rhythm?” I’m not saying you are guilty of these sins, Leo. But I want to ensure that you c-ville.com facebook.com/cville.weekly
: How to be the best Libra you can be in the next three weeks: 1. Make sure your cool attention to detail never gets chilly. Warm it up now and then. Invite your heart to add its counsel to your head’s ob servations. Tenderize your objectivity. 2. Always be willing to be puzzled. Always be entertained and educated by your puzzle ment. Proceed on the theory that nothing ever changes unless somebody is puzzled. 3. Practice, practice, practice the art of mod eration. Do so with the intention of using it as a flexible skill rather than an unthinking habit. 4. Applying the Goldilocks principle will be essential. Everything must be just right: neither too much nor too little; neither overly grand nor overly modest.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming weeks, logic may be of only partial use to you. In formation acquired through your senses might prove less than fully adequate, as well.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Aries-born Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was one of the greatest bas ketball players ever. He excelled at most aspects of the game. Some experts say his rebounding was only average for a player his size—seven feet, two inches. But he is still the third-best rebounder in National Basketball Association history. And he played for 20 years, until age 40. What tips might Abdul-Jabbar have for you now? Here’s a suggestion from him that aligns with your current astrological omens: “Work on those parts of your game that are fundamen tally weak.” The implication is that you have a lot of strengths, and now it’s time to raise up the rest of your skill set.

For four years, from 1734 to 1738, Orange County extended all the way to the Mis sissippi River. Even though it has shrunk in size, its prodigious history, ideal loca tion, home prices, and hometown at mosphere still make it a sweet spot for Central Virgina homebuyers.

James Madison is the heavy hitter with his own museum in Orange, though Zachary Taylor gets a mention there as well. The museum boasts an extensive collection of documents, costumes, farm equipment, and family artifacts. For a deeper dive into all things Madison, including a long overdue and updated view of slave ownership and treatment, visit Montpelier, James Madi son’s lifelong home. Even its location on Constitution Highway is a nod to the Father of the Constitution and Architect of the Bill of Rights.
Infused with History Few counties can claim two presiden tial residences. James Madison, the fourth President and “Father of the Constitu tion” lived at Montpelier, and Zachary Taylor, number 12, was born at Montebel lo, near Barboursville. Both homes are on the National Register of Historic Places along with 32 other historic landmarks.
Civil War Medical Museum in Gordonsville evolved from a grand hotel built in 1860 to a receiving hospital during the war and eventually to today’s museum.
Last year Pat McAloon and Monica Xia moved from Columbus, Ohio to purchase the Holladay House, built circa 1830 in historic downtown Orange. Since Ohio was indeed part of Orange County almost 300 years ago, they like to say they have really just “moved into town.” Only 20 miles from Charlottesville, 60 from Richmond, and 70 from Washing ton, Orange County is a sweet spot for easy access to these cities and others up and down the east coast. When they moved, McAloon says, “We focused on finding a new home in Virginia because we would be closer to my family in Fairfax County and looked at Central Virginia for its easy access to UVA, the University of Richmond, JMU, and my alma mater in Williamsburg.” They wanted to operate a short-term rental business, and Holladay House offered the perfect layout and location to attract visitors looking for history, outdoor adventures, wining, and dining.
The Fort Germanna Visitor Center in Locust Grove commemorates the 42 German men, women, and children who arrived in Virginia in 1714 and settled along the Rapidan River.
Taking It Outdoors The history isn’t just in the buildings, it’s in the very ground, and, in the case of Montpelier’s Old Growth Landmark Forest, in the trees. Nearly every historic site in the county includes substantial walking trails that retrace footsteps from centuries past and offer views of the Blue RidgeHikersMountains.canview formal gardens and meadows, contemplate the lives hon ored at the Montpelier slave and Madi son family cemeteries, and explore the demonstration forest on the Montpelier grounds. With a 3.9-mile trail linking Montpelier’s eight miles to Grelen Nurs ery’s more than six-mile trail system, hikers will run out of daylight before they run out of trails. At Grelen, a 1,000-acre tree nursery, hikers can take a break at the Farm-toTable Cafe, The Market at Grelen, and S pot

The Orange Commercial Historic District gives an unmatched flare to the county seat that 5,000 residents call home.The Holladay House, one of three structures in Orange that was standing during James Madison’s lifetime, has been a bed and breakfast for 30+ years. McAloon and Xia have retained much of the original woodwork in the floors, mantels, and doors, and many period antiques to enhance their guests’ stays. With its 1859 courthouse and Robert E. Lee’s place of worship during 1863-64, Orange celebrates the architecture of its commercial historic district with walking tours and an eye towards rehabilitation rather than razing.

“So much work is done remotely now that the distance of a commute is less of a concern. Moving here from a metro area will get you more house and more land for less money; and [you will] have beautiful scenery all around. And on those days when you do drive into the office or meet a client in a city, the commute is pleasant. I would rather drive an hour on a beautiful road than crawl on I-95 for 45 minutes!”
“We also love how driving anywhere for an errand is like taking a Sunday drive.”Beautiful scenery, welcoming people, and a friendly business community is a great combination. McAloon continues, “Orange is business-friendly, and busi ness owners here are very supportive of one another. It has been a pleasure finding ways to collaborate with our busi ness neighbors.” Cooper enthuses about “the sense of hometown and welcoming atmosphere.”Thathometown feel is attracting more homebuyers. Mack Cowan, REALTOR® and Property Manager with Cowan Realty says, “Compared to Culpeper, Fredericks burg, DC, and Richmond, we’re small. So our real estate market didn’t go as crazy as other areas over the past year or two. “Our average price is less than Charlot tesville but similar to Albemarle County. Because we are slightly less competitive, the buyer has a little more power here. Our market has slowed, so even though interest rates are around six percent, buy ers can get concessions from sellers, like closing cost assistance. More than half of my transactions in the last few months have had seller concessions.

The 500-acre main lake (that features marinas and sand beaches) is the centerpiece of this resort-style gated community near Locust Grove. Golfers sharpen their game at three nearby courses, or enjoy disc golf on the course near Orange. Farm-fresh with a Side of History History and nature may get top billing in Orange County, but local businesses cater to a growing restaurant, winery, and retail scene. Surrounded by rolling hills of farms and vineyards, everything has a crisp, green feel to it. Donna Waugh-Robinson, REALTOR® with Jack Samuels Realty, says, “There’s a lot going on in Orange and Gordonsville. Both are vibrant communities with active main streets and business districts.” And, like Holladay House, many of the businesses are housed in rehabbed historic buildings. Take the old Silk Mill Building in Orange. After a historic rehab, it enjoys a second life as a thriving marketplace. Starting in 1929, spools of silk thread came into the silk mill and were turned into cloth. Today the former mill is now home to shops and restaurants like Pro visions Market Table and the Silk Mill Grille and small-batch brewery Iron Pipe Aleworks. Nearly 200 locals work at the place that still serves as a lively center for the town of Gordonsville,Orange.too, caters to craft beer and wine lovers and brings the farm right to the table.

And inhale deeply to enjoy the aromas of the award-winning Octagon, the estate’s centerpiece wine.
Taking to the Streets Throughout the county, from Gor donsville to Locust Grove, residents and visitors are out and about exploring all that Orange County offers. And everyone seems ready for a celebration, just in time for the 47th annual Orange Street Festival on Saturday, September 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. More than 100 artisan, craft, and com mercial vendors will be on hand to make sure the 5,000 expected visitors have a good time. Food and beverages, live music, a kids’ zone, and beer/wine garden make this family-friendly event a great venue for the community. The Orange County Chamber of Com merce has sponsored the Street Festival since 1974, only missing 2020 due to the pandemic. Executive Director Judi Cooper says “People are excited about being able to be out and about again. We have a number of new businesses in the local area and new vendors from all across the Commonwealth. “This is a good opportunity to get a jump on holiday shopping and get some unique gift items.” And a great time to show off the town of Orange.
