In bloom

By Samantha Baars

mountain biking and other recreational activities.

The side that leans toward permanently banning dogs and other pets often cites the harmful effects of animal droppings in the water supply.

“While livestock are the greatest contributor of animal waste, perhaps the least suspected source of animal waste is a man’s very own best friend,” the EPA states in a 2014 bulletin on its website. “Pets, particularly dogs, are significant contributors to source water contamination.”

The EPA has also cited dog waste as a contributor to excess nutrients that lead to algal bloom.

“It’s serious,” says Smith. “As a community, we have the opportunity now to prevent this from happening at what has become the single most important reservoir we have.”

But DiNatale points to research that shows Ragged Mountain may not need to remain sans Sparky for the overall health of the water supply.

“Animal droppings, whether from wild or domestic animals, represent a very minor source of nutrient inflows to the authority’s reservoirs,” he says. “We could remove all of the animals, both wild and domestic, but still would be experiencing algae blooms from all of the other sources.”

news@c-ville.com

A bloom of blue-green algae covers the South Fork Reservoir on August 21, 2015 (above).

Konrad Zeller (below, right) analyzes a water sample that was collected near the bottom of the Beaver Creek Reservoir by a kemmerer-type sampler with spring-loaded lids on each end. The instrument is lowered, and when the desired depth is reached, a weight that captures the water by closing the top and bottom lids is dropped down the cable.

In the letter, the department stressed that the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments and the EPA have placed “greater emphasis on source water protection and preventing contaminants from entering water supplies in lieu of the past practice of removing contaminants at water treatment facilities.”

According to Smith, failure to protect the water source has already led to contamination of half of our reservoirs, the necessity to add chemicals and heavy metals for purification and about $25 million in new infrastructure to deal with the worst of the pollution.

“In other words,” she says, “don’t contaminate your raw water source in the first place.”

There’s always tension between allowing recreational activities near reservoirs and protecting the water supply, DiNatale says, and that’s partially why RWSA is looking for in-lake algae-management methods.

“With that said, it is always preferable to address whatever land use activities are manageable,” he says. “Every water provider would love to have a protected watershed without any animal or human impacts, but, as we know, that is impossible for virtually all of the country’s water supplies.”

But Smith cites a 2002 letter from the Virginia Department of Health to the authority, in which she says the department “admonished RWSA for not considering the quality of its raw water source.”

“It’s all going straight into your bathtub,” former city councilor Dede Smith said at the RWSA board meeting.

RIVANNA WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY

A

n unquantified, but “substantial” amount of blue-green algae has bloomed at the Beaver Creek and South Fork Rivanna reservoirs, according to a new report presented to the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority’s board of directors May 24. Consultants say the water supply at Ragged Mountain Reservoir is another one to watch.

Algae—caused by a nutrient overload—is problematic in a water system because it can cause taste and odor compounds, cyanotoxins and filter clogging.

At Beaver Creek and South Fork, consultants and RWSA staff have spent nearly $120,000 since 2014 on chemical treatments to stop the algae. While the consultants will present the board with a modified monitoring program for those reservoirs in the coming weeks, they have instructed staff to continue monitoring the water at Ragged Mountain, in which they have found occasional floating algae.

“I’d be very surprised if [Ragged Mountain Reservoir] didn’t develop problems very soon,” Alexander Horne, a professor emeritus of environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, says. He, along with Kelly DiNatale of DiNatale Water Consultants, presented the report.

RWSA board members had questions about cost and procedures, but they all generally seemed to agree that treating the bluegreen algae, or cyanobacteria, is a priority.

“It’s all going straight into your bathtub,” former city councilor Dede Smith said at the meeting. She has led the charge to keep Ragged Mountain Reservoir a natural area, while her opponents hope to make the area less exclusive by permitting dog walking,

Rural Internet-ification Jane Dittmar wants to connect the 5th District

By Lisa Provence lisa@c-ville.com

I

n the 1930s, electricity was common in the cities, but pretty much nonexistent elsewhere. If not for the Rural Electrification Act, some of us might still be sitting in the dark. It’s the same situation today for many in rural areas without Internet access.

Jane Dittmar became aware of how dire the situation is in Albemarle County when running for the Scottsville seat on the Board of Supervisors in 2013. “People in the rural area don’t have Internet or have spotty Internet or only DSL, which is slow,” she says.

“Their children can’t do their homework.”

She has seen families driving to Panera so their kids can do their school work. Or they park around area libraries to use them as hot spots. “If you’re scraping by and want to apply for a job at Walmart, you can’t do it on paper,” she says.

“amazing” job using grants from all those fees that are paid in phone bills to provide Internet for its citizens.

“The private sector can’t just do it out of the goodness of its heart,” she says. That’s why, as with rural electrification, if the public sector puts in the Internet infrastructure, the private sector can take over, she says.

Dittmar, 60, says running for Congress wasn’t on her bucket list. “I really want to see us connected and I wasn’t able to get that done on a local level.”

She’s already gotten some heat from checking the wrong boxes on federal financial forms that put her net worth at more than $250 million. “I was a $50 million homeowner for a day,” she laughs. She refiled the forms with the House of Representatives clerk’s office and says she was told it was a frequently made error.

“This is my first rodeo,” she says. Despite critics calling the error a lack of attention to detail that doesn’t bode well for reading the

“That’s one of the terrible grievances I have with gerrymandering. While Charlottesville may say the environment is the biggest issue, in Southside jobs are “No. 1, 2 and 3.”

ÉZÉ AMOS

Rural citizens without the net can’t use telemedicine. Veterans can’t check their benefits. And for a jobs-strapped district like the 5th, “No consultant will ever say, ‘Locate here,’ without Internet access,” she says—a couple of days before the Washington Post reported new U.S. Census data that shows new businesses are dramatically less likely to start up in small towns or rural communities than in the past.

“This is critical infrastructure,” she says.

“We’re leaving families behind.”

And that is why Dittmar is running for Congress. During the two years she was chair of the Board of Supervisors, she says she tried to score the grants needed to help wire the countryside—and learned it’s an issue that requires federal and state efforts. “I wasn’t able to do that,” she says.

“I need to have access to our Congress to do that.”

She points to low-populated, vast landmassed South Dakota, which has done an

Jane Dittmar has specific goals in mind, spurring her run for Congress, and broadband access is at the top of the list because it’s hard to generate jobs without it.

NEWS

A new flag flies at City Hall A proud group of industrial hemp supporters hoisted an American flag made of the crop on the Downtown Mall May 25, announcing that it would be presented to Willie Nelson—another major advocate for its legalization—at his concert that night.

“We’re trying to end this insanity of prohibition,” Mike Bowman, a Coloradoan and chair of the National Hemp Association, said before cranking the lever that raised the flag. Calling hemp the “crop of our founding fathers,” he noted that about 30 states have already legalized that variety of the cannabis sativa plant.

Virginia is one of those states. Last year, Governor Terry McAuliffe signed a bill

Mitch Van Yahres, a former mayor of Charlottesville who served as the city’s delegate in the General Assembly for 12 two-year terms, was a hemp advocate who pushed legislation to study the economic benefits of the cash crop in the ’90s. He passed away in 2008.

“Mitch really led the charge to legalize industrial hemp,” former mayor Dave Norris said at the flag raising. “I really, really wish Mitch had been here today to see the fruit of his labor.”

Even our beloved Thomas Jefferson can be traced back to the plant. It is widely known that he grew hemp, which can be farmed as a raw material that can be

incorporated into thousands of products, including clothing, construction materials, paper and health foods.

“Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see,” Thomas Jefferson is often quoted as saying, but researchers at Monticello, who have consulted many of his papers and journals, say they have never validated the statement and there is no evidence to suggest the third president of the United States was a frequent hemp or tobacco smoker.

Less contested is the TJ line: “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country.”—Samantha Baars

allowing Virginians to legally grow industrial hemp, which has a minimal level of THC and a different genetic makeup than marijuana.

Mike Lewis, one of the first in America to privately farm hemp, grew the materials used for the flag and noted at the ceremony that his flag flew over the U.S. Capitol building on Veterans Day. Supporters are now gathering signatures for HR525, a resolution called the Industrial Hemp Farming Act, which amends the ÉZÉ AMOS

bills that come before Congress, she says it wasn’t as if she were trying to hide a $50 million condo as a $50,000 property. “That would have been a little more uncomfortable explaining.”

She also thinks her background as a mediator, business owner and former president of the Charlottesville Area Chamber of Commerce will serve her well as she faces Republican state Senator Tom Garrett.

“Most of my career has been bringing people together,” she says. “I have an economic development background. He does not. I’ve made payroll and launched regional economic partnerships. These things are emblematic of a candidate who knows what she’s doing.”

Still, it’s an uphill battle in the 5th District, which stretches from the North Carolina border to almost Maryland and which has elected Republican Robert Hurt for the past three terms since Dem Tom Perriello lasted one term in 2008.

Dittmar describes the district as five separate regions: the counties that consider themselves Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, “which doesn’t identify with Charlottesville,” five counties around Farmville and Southside. “That’s one of the terrible grievances I have with gerrymandering,” she says. While Charlottesville may say the environment is the biggest issue, in Southside jobs are “No. 1, 2 and 3,” she adds.

There is one thing that unifies the district, she says: “We all have a digital deficit.”

defense has asked that felons be included in the jury pool.

Delegate Rob Bell, who is running for attorney general in 2017, has no problem with McAuliffe restoring felon rights under the current system. “He certainly has the constitutional authority to do that one by one,” says Bell. He does object that confirmation of victim restitution is no longer required and that felons on unsupervised probation can vote.

And to the frequently cited adage that Virginia’s hurdles to felons voting are to disenfranchise African-Americans, Bell says, “That simply isn’t historically accurate. That has been part of the Virginia constitution since 1830.”

With the November presidential election looming and Virginia very much a purple state, the lawsuit was filed with the Supreme Court of Virginia to get an immediate response without having to go through the appeals process. The suit asks for a decision

by August 25 to give registrars time to cancel felon registrations before absentee ballots go out September 24.

“I think everyone involved would like to have it adjudicated as soon as possible,” says Wheeler.

In Albemarle, the number of registration transactions, which can include changes of address along with new voters, is up about 200 percent over the same period last year.

“There’s a whole lotta registration going on,” says Washburne. DMV registration “is one of those numbers that jumped off the page.” He believes that’s because more people are comfortable registering online.

In the city, Bencoach is seeing higher registration than in 2008 and 2012. She’s also seeing something else. “It really tugs at your heartstrings when someone comes in and says, ‘I’ve never been able to vote before,’” she says.

ALBEMARLE REGISTRAR

s if a presidential election year weren’t exciting enough, about a month after Governor Terry McAuliffe signed his April 22 bombshell executive order restoring the voting rights of 206,000 felons, General Assembly Republican leaders filed a lawsuit to keep them out of the polls.

Voter registration has skyrocketed in 2016 from this time a year ago, and election officials are divided about whether it’s the nearly 5,000 felons who have registered statewide boosting the numbers.

Albemarle registrar Jake Washburne says the State Board of Elections told localities they don’t need to keep track of felon registration and his “ballpark guess” is that between 40 and 50 have registered to vote in the county, with 14 more on hold waiting to be cleared by the secretary of the commonwealth, who maintains a list of felons whose rights have been restored.

In Charlottesville, 32 felons have registered to vote since April 22 and 15 are pending, says registrar Rosanna Bencoach.

Local resident Clara Belle Wheeler is the Republican on the three-person State Board of Elections. “Literally five minutes after the pronouncement by the governor, registrars reported they had an influx of people around the commonwealth,” she says. “The registrars had no warning about this restoration notice. This member had no prior knowledge.”

It would have been prudent, says Wheeler, to keep those names in a separate file.

“Once a name is registered, it takes a great deal of time and paperwork to remove that name,” she says.

However, the same state board said felons could be entered in the state database, according to the two local registrars. “The State Board of Elections assured registrars that they can flag [felons] if they have to take them off,” says Bencoach.

Wheeler points out that two previous governors—Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Bob McDonnell—thought about doing a blanket restoration. “Their attorneys general said, ‘No, you can’t. It’s not constitutional.’”

Not only did McAuliffe restore voting rights, but his order means felons can sit on juries and run for office, and restoring voting rights is the first step to gun ownership.

Now felons can get concealed carry gun permits, and “rapists can sit on a rape case jury, murderers can sit on juries,” says Wheeler.

Indeed, according to the lawsuit, a felon is running for mayor in Richmond and in a capital case in Dinwiddie, the

FOR PETS’ SAKE!

Being a pet owner

By Samantha Baars, Mike Fietz, Laura Ingles, Jessica Luck and Caite White

Frisky business

To watch Sara Gould’s kitten cam, visit itsakitty.com.

Meow information Here’s how Gould continues to foster litter after litter.

On wanting to keep them...

“When I first started I would purposely volunteer to foster a few weeks before I knew I was going out of town. Then I’d have a date where I had to give them back.”

On fostering through the SPCA... “[It’s] great because they will take

them back at any time for any reason, so you don’t have to commit to keeping them or to finding them homes.”

On giving growing kittens a home...

“It gives my friends a reason to visit more often, which...makes the kittens super friendly and they’ll be better pets down the road. And, most importantly, it saves lives since the shelter doesn’t have room to handle all the kittens that are brought in.”

On adopting kittens...

“I always tell friends to adopt a pair.

They entertain each other and are so fun to watch.”

That darn cat So your whiskered feline roommate has started relieving herself in the corner of your bedroom and going to town on the new couch with her claws. Is she just being an asshole because she’s a cat? Maybe (absolutely, if you ask a dog person), but it could be more nuanced than that.

“The thing I love about behavior and the study of it is that it’s pure science,” says cat behavior consultant Ami Somers. “So what is the actual behavior? What is the animal actually doing?

Behavior is always caused by environmental conditions, so something in the environment is the stimulus that provokes that behavior.”

That doesn’t mean that your cat’s unsavory actions are your fault, exactly, but according to Somers, owner of Charlottesville-based Good Kitty Cat Behavior Consulting, there are things you can do to prevent them.

Somers always pictured herself in a career centered around animals, but she didn’t find veterinary medicine or other career paths suited her. So years ago, when she sought professional help after her cat stopped using the litter box, it all came together—this was a seemingly untapped market in the Charlottesville area, and she says too many cat owners either just live with the destructive behavior or have to give up their beloved furballs. After graduating from the Companion Animal Sciences Institute with a diploma in Feline Behavior Science and Technology a few years ago, Somers launched her consulting business so she could help other pet owners pinpoint and eradicate their cats’ issues.

Behaviors that she addresses include litter box problems, furniture scratching and aggression toward humans and other animals.

It’s all about positive reinforcement, she says, and she uses methods like clicker training, which utilizes a sound associated with desired behavior and treats, to train the animals.

“These are these amazing predators, who are far more connected to their wild ancestors than other animals are. We invite them to come live with us and there’s this misconception that they’re independent, they’re aloof, they do their own thing when they want to do it and they’re not trainable for that reason,” Somers says.

“What’s really amazing is you can actually teach them to do things that kind of take advantage of this supreme athlete that you have living with you and give them a lot more options in which to live in their environment.”—L.I.

Live kitten action!

Sara Gould is in her fifth year of fostering and has had the latest litter—seven kittens plus their mom—since April.

Ami Somers says most pets’ poor behavior is a result of environmental conditions.

June 1 – 7, 2016 c-ville.com

The first time Sara Gould fostered kittens, on the recommendation of a friend in 2011, she wasn’t sure what to expect.

“I just showed up at the [Charlottesville Albemarle] SPCA and asked if they had any kittens that needed fostering and I ended up with a mom and six babies,” she says.

The litter needed eye drops twice a day. “After that, I figured I could manage anything.”

Gould has fostered two to three litters each summer for the last five years, setting them up in a spare bedroom at home or in the studio of her printing and engraving business, In a Flash Laser. She’s currently looking after seven kittens (and their mother). When they reach eight weeks and at least two pounds, they’ll go back to the SPCA to be spayed or neutered and then put up for adoption. Or, she confesses, occasionally she’ll keep a few for herself.

“Giving them back is really hard and kind of sad,” Gould says. “I tell myself that it’s like a fairy tale that’s fun while you’re reading it and you just have to believe that they live happily ever after. And if I kept them I wouldn’t be able to foster more.”

Giving them up is difficult, but Gould says that’s also kind of the best part.

“It’s an endless supply of kittens that never become cats!”—C.W.

ÉZÉ AMOS

This little piggy stays home A city potbelly turns backyard into barnyard into the house to sleep at night. That first Christmas, there were some pretty surprised guests who watched as the spotted pig trotted through the back door, past the living room and cozied up in her bed of blankets underneath a desk in the office.

The trick to getting her into the house? A trail of Cheerios.

These days, the 6-year-old pig prefers to spend all her time outside. On the coldest winter days, her owners put her in a crate in their sunroom.

Adding a pig to the mix was fairly seamless, her owners say. When they got a new puppy, named Beckham, he immediately tried to make Pepper his friend. He sidled up next to her while she grazed in the backyard, and began munching on his own patch of grass. Being the independent pig she is, she largely ignored him while enjoying clover and dandelions—two of her favorite things.

Pepper’s owners admit that even though their animals get along, they are always nearby when they are together in the yard.

(Dogs are natural predators, and pigs are natural prey.)

When grazing time is over, one of her owners stands behind her and says firmly,

When Pepper’s happy she wags her tail, and when an obliging admirer scratches her belly, she can’t help but fall to the ground in sheer ecstasy.

“Pepper, get back into your pen,” and she begrudgingly hoofs it up the hill to her home.

To raise a healthy pig, Pepper’s owners advise only feeding it greens (fruits and vegetables) and grains; she eats two cups of “oatmeal” a day—a mix of water and Mazuri pig chow. Another way to tell she’s happy?

Her “rodeo move.” When Pepper comes out of her pen and knows she’ll soon be grazing in the backyard, she can’t contain her excitement: She does a 360-degree spin and kicks up her back heels.—J.L.

RAMMELKAMP FOTO

Pepper loves burrowing into her cozy redand-white, extra-large dog house filled with hay in the backyard, her snout barely visible.

A blue tarp held down by large rocks shields the entrance of her home from snow and rain. When her dog siblings are let outside in the morning, she knows breakfast is on its way and she stands sideways along the fence of her pen to make herself appear as large as possible—she doesn’t want to be overlooked. When she’s happy she wags her tail, and when an obliging admirer scratches her belly, she can’t help but fall to the ground in sheer ecstasy.

Pepper, an 80-pound potbellied pig, was rescued from overcrowded living conditions and taken to Ross Mill Farm in Pennsylvania, which is a foster home for pigs in the Pig Placement Network, a national organization that matches adoptable pigs with new owners. Pepper’s current owners (who wish to remain anonymous) knew they only had room for a single pig, and had to wait awhile before finding the perfect one to add to their brood, which includes a Dachshund, terrier and a Pionus parrot.

For the first couple of years at her new home in Charlottesville, Pepper would come

Gizmo, a Cardigan Welsh corgi, has been working at Blue Whale Books for eight years.

Pepper and Mocha often roam their backyard together. Mocha learned to paw the ground to dig up grubs after watching Pepper do it.

June 1 – 7, 2016 c-ville.com

Gizmo, an 8-year-old Cardigan Welsh corgi, has worked as a door greeter at Blue Whale Books on the Downtown Mall since she was a pup, according to her owner and the owner of the bookstore, Scott Fennessey.

“She does a much better job than the folks at Walmart,” he says, adding that she works full-time and is often compensated in doggy biscuits. At the door, Gizmo gives a customer a lick, pauses for a quick rub in return and then goes about her doggy business.

She’s short and stout with big brown pointy ears, and though she isn’t lazy, she’s certainly laid-back—that’s because she’s spent her entire life around people in and around the bookstore, her owner says. In fact, she’ll sometimes clock out at work to visit her friends at other shops on the Downtown Mall (who she knows carry treats). But she’s never gone for long.

“She always wants to go to work,” Fennessey says. Which is notable, we think, because plenty of mammals out there dread their 9 to 5s.

Featured on the city’s “Dogs of the Downtown Mall” postcard, Gizmo has cultivated quite the fan club. In fact, Fennessey says one group of admirers pops by the shop every Saturday just to see her.

“She’s the best dog in the world—and I’m a cat person,” says Andrew Hniat, who has worked at the bookstore for more than five years.

In her spare time, Gizmo likes to read.

(Just last month, Fennessey says the two were reading a few cat mysteries, which went remarkably well until Gizmo realized the cats are always the heroes). And for your summer reading list, she recommends Dog and Man at Yale.

“She’s a lefty,” Fennessey says. “She’d probably vote for Bernie.”—S.B.

Stump the vet

FOR PETS’ SAKE!

Georgetown Veterinary Hospital’s Mike Fietz writes a pet-related column in these pages on the regular, but we were certain there was more he wasn’t telling us. We asked the doctor to answer a few questions that continually give pet owners paws, er, pause.

Are pets immune to poison ivy?

Immunity might be too a strong word, but clear instances of poison ivy irritation in dogs and cats are incredibly rare. These kinds of poisonous plants produce an oil called urushiol, which causes our skin to blister and itch but seems to leave our pets unscathed. This is often attributed to their coats protecting their skin from the oil, but they don’t seem to have any trouble with their less-hairy bellies either. Unfortunately, if your dog has been for a roll in poison ivy, that urushiol can still rub off on you.

This misconception has been around for ages, and is sadly likely to outlive me by a few more. I don’t know why it is so stubborn, but it is the polar opposite of the truth.

Apart from contributing to the tragedy of animal overpopulation, it substantially increases a pet’s risk of mammary cancer later in life. Not only should pets be spayed before bearing a litter, the procedure should ideally be performed before they have their first heat to get the most protective benefit.

What can I give my pet to stop her from shedding?

Hate to say it, but absolutely nothing. I’ve seen people try all sorts of dietary tricks and supplements, and none of it matters. Hair has to grow, and it has to fall out when it’s finished so that it can be replaced. The only thing we can do is groom our pets to help ensure that most of the hair winds up in a brush and not in our bed.

RYAN JONES

Shouldn’t my pet have puppies or kittens before being spayed?

Staying power Roxie the dog wins by a nose There are certain standards to meet when it comes to training one’s dog: sit, stay, wait, maybe even a handshake. But local dog owner Craig Griffin took it one step further.

“Roxie always seemed to try to please her humans, and, like a lot of dogs, was very attentive when we were eating dinner,” Griffin says.

“We are always working on her sit, stay and wait commands, so we thought we’d combine them all at once.”

The 9-year-old “Virginia Brown Dog” (as Griffin calls her) can balance just about anything on her nose, including grilled cheese

JASON CROSBY

Why does my dog drag his behind on the rug?

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Bringing up the rear (so to speak), this is easily one of the most common questions I get. The short answer is that his butt itches.

In some cases it might be due to an allergy.

Other times, it could be related to intestinal parasites. But far more often than not, it winds up being an issue with the dog’s anal sacs—a pair of scent glands that are meant to expel their contents during normal defecation. They can get stopped up or even infected, causing discomfort. If your dog is doing this, it may be worth a quick trip to the vet to have them emptied out. It’s not difficult, and some owners will learn to do this at home on their own. But let’s be honest, most really don’t want to.

It all started when Patricia Boden’s Chesapeake Bay retriever was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 7 (in people years, of course), and she decided to treat him naturally.

Nixing chemo, she took to nourishing her companion, Ernie, by feeding him only raw food and supplements. At that time, such products were hard to come by in a small town like Charlottesville, so she bought in bulk for herself and fellow animal-lovers and started selling the chow out of her Greene County garage. In 2001, Animal Connection was born.

“Someone needed to be a spokesperson for the dogs,” Boden says of starting her all-natural pet store 15 years ago. Ernie beat cancer and helped her run the shop until the “ripe old age” of 16, she says.

Animal Connection, located on Allied Street since 2003, specializes in natural

remedies and holistic solutions for pets while selling more than 500 varieties of local, regional and hand-selected dog and cat foods and treats.

New this year is mobile grooming (though the shop has offered a regular grooming service for 10 years), pet food and supply delivery and a chef-inspired artisan treat bakery for small-batch goodies and specialty pet foods. “[Boden] is very attuned to the health of dogs and how to do things in a clean and natural way,” customer Susan Krischel says. You may recognize Krischel’s big, slobbery mastiff, Mozart, a Downtown Mall “celebrity.” Krischel says she shops at the all-natural pet store for guaranteed good advice and because Boden doesn’t sell a product unless she knows how it performs.

And by the look of Mozart’s wagging tail, we’d say it’s pretty obvious he gives Animal Connection his seal of approval: two paws up.—S.B.

The Griffin family, including Craig’s two kids, rescued Roxie from the SPCA when she was a puppy, so she trusts them the most to help her perform her balancing act.

And does she have any other party tricks? Confesses Griffin, “She can poop on command. What can I say?”—C.W.

FOR PETS’ SAKE!

Lizard lair It all started with Dumbledore, a bearded dragon affectionately known as Lil’ Homie. Matthew Hart (executive chef at The Local) and his son brought home the little guy about three years ago (with the approval of Hart’s ever-patient wife, Melissa Close-Hart), and thus a new hobby was born.

The basement in Hart’s Crozet home is lined with cages that house more than a dozen reptiles, including a 3'-long Argentine tegu named Bella, who loves the leftover chicken and shrimp he brings home from the restaurant, several crested geckos and a boa constrictor named after his sous chef, Kiko. It’s an elaborate and expensive hobby, and he has painstakingly transformed the basement into an appropriate environment for all the reptiles, complete with lamps and humidifiers that maintain a safe and comfortable temperature for everyone 24 hours a day.

Hart has developed a real fascination with and respect for lizards, and he encourages people to explore any interest they may have in reptiles.

But he warns them to proceed with caution.

“Bearded dragons are good pets to start with,” he says, “but don’t jump into getting one of the big ones without experience. They could hurt you.”

As of a couple weeks ago, Hart and his son were in the process of incubating some leopard gecko eggs, and he says he wants to get more into breeding as he continues to learn about different species.

“The more captive animals that are bred, the less that have to be taken out of the wild,” he says.—L.I.

Rover’s Recess Midday Dog Walking

Getting the most out of pet portraits Photographer Michelle Turek was raised on a farm in King Ferry, New York. It was mainly for growing sweet corn, but Turek convinced her parents that it was missing two things—horses and dogs. Thus began a lifelong love of animals and, eventually, photography. So Turek launched Gray Dog Pet Photography (named after her affection for Weimaraners, of which she has one named Pearl) to get the best of both worlds. We asked her to give pet owners a few tips for getting the most out of a portrait session.—C.W. What’s the biggest challenge you face while photographing pets? The biggest challenge is making sure I capture images that best represent the bond between that dog and its human.

Any funny stories about runaways or camera-shy subjects (or anything else)? Oh, too many funny stories to tell here, but one in particular of the three labs who jumped in the pond before the shoot.

Walking Charlottesville's Dogs Since the Last Century.

Do you have to employ any tricks or distractions in order to get a good photo? Squeaky toys, bird calls, you name it. Anything to get the dog to look at me with ears up!

How long does a pet portrait session usually take? About an hour and a half. I take as long as I need to capture a good variety of images, all while making sure the dog is comfortable and safe.

What can pet parents do to prepare for portraits of their animals? A few commands are helpful, like “sit” and “stay.”

June 1 – 7, 2016 c-ville.com

Does a pet need to be trained (or well-behaved) in order for you to get a good photo? A pet should be nonaggressive. A dog doesn’t necessarily have to get along well with others, but shouldn’t be aggressive towards humans.

elly dancer Joy Rayman loves to improvise during a performance.

During a recent gig at McGuffey Art Center, she was completely absorbed in the music, snaking her arms and undulating her hips, when she felt her coin belt loosen.

Not wanting to pause and interrupt the flow of the dance, she kept moving. The belt loosened more before sliding down over her costume and hitting the floor with a metallic jingle. Not missing a beat, Rayman stepped over the belt and, with a sassy flick of her foot and toss of her curly dark hair, kicked it into the crowd behind her.

The spectators loved it, Rayman recalls, and their delight only stoked the fires fueling her dance.

“I want to express how the music is making me feel, and I want to bring people in to what I’m feeling,” Rayman says. And there’s nothing better than when an audience is willing to go along on that determined journey.

Rayman performs with Barbara Frost as Fire in the Belly, an American tribal-style belly dance troupe founded by Susan Nicholson in 2000. Over the years, the troupe has featured as many as six dancers, but Rayman and Frost have been a duet for about six years. They’ve performed at various IX Art Park events, Floyd Fest, with local band Accordion Death Squad, and even at a belly dance convention in Ukraine.

At first, Fire in the Belly performed mostly coordinated group improvisational dances, where one dancer leads the group through a series of cues that tell the rest of the dancers how to move. It’s a grand effect, says Rayman, but it’s one that can be difficult to perform with dancers of different backgrounds and abilities.

Rayman took over as Fire in the Belly director in 2003, and around that time the group started to explore other styles of belly dance—such as tribal fusion belly dance, a Western style of dance that combines American tribal style and American cabaret belly dances with a bit of hip-hop and popping—and incorporates movements from other forms, such as flamenco.

They also started to branch out musically. Instead of dancing exclusively to Middle Eastern or North African music, Rayman began choreographing routines to jazz tunes, James Brown and Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire.

All of this is to say that Fire in the Belly keeps things interesting; they’re not likely to perform the same dance twice.

True belly dancing is a lot harder than it looks—dancers train with teachers for years

Joy Rayman and Barbara Frost perform as Fire in the Belly. Belly dancing is “more sensual than sexy,” says Rayman. “But what’s so bad about being sexy, anyway?”

to learn, master and perfect their technique and style. Tossing on a coin belt and dancing in front of a fire doth not a belly dancer make.

Rayman studied with a South Carolinabased belly dancer before studying with Suhalia Salimpour, a well-known belly dancer on the West Coast. Frost studied with Rayman for years before joining Fire in the Belly.

First, a dancer must learn to separate the movement of her upper body from that of her lower body. This is done by isolating muscle groups, keeping some muscles still while others move. A dancer should be able to undulate her hips without moving a muscle in her shoulders, or work her arms through the air without circling her hips. Once she’s mastered the separation of movement, she can begin to join the movements together.

It’s like playing the piano or the harp, where each hand plays a different layer of a piece of music, says Rayman: The hips can express the rhythm while the arms and ribcage express the melody.

Rayman says she feels both “vulnerable and really empowered” when she dances.

When she first steps out onto the dance floor, costumed and ready to dance, she says “all of these insecurities” come up—she thinks about choreography and wonders how the audience will react to the dance.

“I always remember that I have to dance for myself first, and then I start to relax into it and it just flows,” says Rayman, who moves through space with such feeling and finesse

it’s hard to imagine she’s ever felt insecure in her life.

But still, belly dancing “has this misconception of being like stripping, and that’s a really hard thing to break,” Rayman says. She recalls a number of Fire in the Belly performances at the now-shuttered Al Hamraa restaurant where customers—usually young, college-age women—would look away in what appeared to be embarrassment.

An uneasy audience can make for a difficult dance, says Rayman, because dancers tend to play off of a crowd’s energy. If the crowd seems insecure, the dancer will, in turn, feel insecure, assuming her art is not fully appreciated. Rayman imagines they’re thinking, “Am I supposed to watch this?”

Yes, you are. Please watch, Rayman wants you to know. Take in the compelling motions of the dance that mimic the most natural movements—seaweed swaying in the tide, a breeze blowing softly over the dunes or a camel’s slow, deliberate walk.

Belly dancing is “about sensuality, it’s about feeling,” and, ultimately, she says, it’s a way of saying, “I’m still vital, I’m still here.”

It’s a way to indulge in and express the emotion and the physicality of life.

Fire in the Belly performs as part of The Dance Spot’s show at The Haven on June 11. Want to learn how to belly dance or play finger cymbals? Learn from Rayman on Monday nights at 6:30pm at The Dance Spot (above Jack Brown’s).

Leg pullin’ Kyle Dunnigan brings cast of characters to the Southern

By Shea Gibbs arts@c-ville.com

Dunnigan says he’s been developing characters such as Craig, Carl and Del since he was a kid. His work with sketch groups over the years has only helped him flesh out those characters, each of whom is taken from “pieces of people” he’s come across in his daily life.

But, whatever the source material, most of them share a thread.

“I guess it’s a running theme, I just never really thought of it,” Dunnigan says. “[The characters] feel no shame or embarrassment.

I often feel shame and embarrassment.”

Take, for example, Dunnigan’s dating history. He went out with Sarah Silverman from 2011 to 2013 and is more recently coming off a fling with colleague and collaborator Amy Schumer. You might say it’s

C

not a bad track record for a guy who’s known for playing dweeby dumbasses, but Dunnigan would probably prefer you not.

“I mean, that makes it sound like I’m some kind of hunk, but I just like funny women,” he says. “I have definitely dated above my station in life.”

Dunnigan also seems to have a knack for congenial breakups. He says he and Silverman are working on a project now—“I love her,” he says—and he’s still gainfully employed at “Inside Amy Schumer,” which recently completed its fourth season on the comedy network that seems to pay most of Dunnigan’s bills.

Dunnigan, himself a Jack-of-all-comedictrades, could only hope other comedians would say the same about him. In addition to his television successes, he’s dabbled in promotional videos, script writing and podcasts, hosting “Professor Blastoff ” on the Earwolf podcasting network with Tig Notaro and David Huntsberger from 2011 to 2015. He won an Emmy for “Girl, You Don’t Need Make Up,” a song he penned for “Inside Amy Schumer.”

And he’s currently developing a new show for Comedy Central set in a superhero academy where he plays a professor whose superhuman abilities Google has rendered obsolete.

Then there’s the stand-up. Dunnigan’s been featured in Comedy Central half-hour specials, appeared on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” He’s also performed at dozens of comedy festivals, and although live performances are only a small part of his job description these days, Dunnigan says they’re still critical.

“It’s a great job,” he says. “The only thing about it I don’t like is traveling. You do everything by yourself. If I was in a band it would be a lot more fun. But I’ve had other jobs, and this a great one.”

In addition to seeing “Reno 911!”’s Craig Pullin, Charlottesville’s comedy fans might glimpse Kyle Dunnigan as Carl, a bucktoothed, mullet-sporting redneck. Or maybe they’ll see Del, a charming octogenarian enjoying every minute of his tranquil senility.

raig Pullin, Deputy Trudy Wiegel’s bespectacled, slack-jawed boyfriend in the cult comedy “Reno 911!,” isn’t who fans thought he was.

Pullin, played by comedian Kyle Dunnigan, is a serial-killing mastermind hiding behind a clueless veneer in both the Comedy Central half-hour sitcom and the feature film Reno 911!: Miami. But Dunnigan, who’ll perform at The Southern Café and Music Hall on June 7, set out to create a character who’s just straight up clueless.

And indeed, Pullin lives on to this day on the actor’s YouTube page, not as the Truckee River Killer, but as a dimwit who lives with his mother, plays the violin (poorly), cuts his own hair (poorly) and generally acts a fool (very well).

“I saw him in a different way,” Dunnigan says. “In my mind it is more of an innocent character. I tend to do stupid characters that don’t know they’re stupid.”

The crowd at the Southern will likely get a chance to see for themselves. Dunnigan, who’s also known for his work as a writer and actor on “Inside Amy Schumer,” “Cedric the Entertainer Presents” and Howie Mandel’s “Howie Do It,” says he likes to intersperse his stand-up with character sketches, music, crowd work and impersonations (e.g. Donald Trump, Perez Hilton, Caitlyn Jenner).

In addition to seeing Pullin, Charlottesville’s comedy fans might glimpse Dunnigan as Carl, a bucktoothed, mullet-sporting redneck who gets into all kinds of trouble, typically while trying to do something nice for his overweight girlfriend. Or maybe they’ll see Del, a charming octogenarian enjoying every minute of his tranquil senility.

The latter employment will be contingent on Schumer’s schedule next year, Dunnigan admits: “It’s supposed to go for another season, but you never know. Amy is just so busy.”

Dunnigan says Schumer’s own meteoric rise in the comedy universe is due to her hard work and being the right kind of comedienne at the right time.

“She’s really funny, obviously, and she has tapped into a group of people that didn’t really have a voice,” he says. “She’s also good on social media—she doesn’t really have a weak spot.”

rtists-turned-activists typically use their work to amplify awareness about an issue. Increased publicity, the thinking goes, inspires action in the field.

But poet Amelia Williams has found a way to leverage art as a direct blocking and delay tactic in the fight against fracked gas pipelines and compressor stations.

“In 2014, when we learned about the prospect of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline coming through Nelson County and other counties and wild areas in Virginia, I wanted to do something,” Williams says.

The poet and eco-artist, who has a Ph.D. in English from UVA, lives on Shannon Farm Community, an intentional community in Nelson County with 500 acres owned in common by the people who live there. “This big property has beautiful wetland areas and open meadows and communal organic gardens, and they would have been plowed through by the pipelines,” she says, referring to one of Dominion Resources’ proposed routes for its planned 550-mile natural gas pipeline from West Virginia to North Carolina.

“I chose a lifestyle that isn’t about money and things,” says Williams. “It’s about being here, on this land, living with other people together. Something that’s hard to touch on with numbers and dollars is what happens to your heart when your place is ripped away from you. There are

birds that are dependent on deep woods environment. What happens to the wood thrush, the whippoorwill, the barn owl, when these trees are gone? What happens to me? What kind of spiritual desolation do I experience?”

She says that many members of Shannon Farm are working against Dominion’s Atlantic Coast Pipeline, not just because it threatens to “carve an enormous swath” through their backyard but because pipelines are a regional and statewide issue.

“Natural gas pipelines, in general, are a very bad idea,” she says. “How they leak methane, how environmental protections are often ignored by state-based departments, how rivers and streams and well water is polluted. We also learned about how energy companies can earn money from a pipeline even when the ‘need’ for it is not really substantiated.”

So Williams’ interest piqued when she read about Canadian artist Peter von Tiesenhausen, who waylaid a mining company when he registered his 800 acres as intellectual property in the form of land art.

According to an article in the Cantech Letter, von Tiesenhausen explained that any disturbance to the top six inches of his property would constitute a copyright violation—and, ideally, a prohibitively expensive legal battle that dissuades installation of a pipeline.

“I’m not a legal scholar, and I didn’t know if there was any precedent for doing this kind of thing in the U.S., but I thought I would imitate it here,” Williams says.

37

The lifelong poet reviewed her work and found a large number of poems with roots in Nelson County. Next, she set about creating sculptural containers and assemblages that would integrate her writing with the landscape.

“I wanted to make land art like the projects of Andrew Goldsworthy, whose works are intended to fade back into the landscape because they are created out of natural elements like twigs and leaves,” she says.

Ultimately, Williams made 16 different containers out of local biodegradable materials, including clay bowls, cedar boxes, felted bags and fire-hardened bam® boo. Community members donated many of these materials, all of which10% holddiscount when you and a friend receive BOTOX®. up well in rain, snow and the humidity of Virginia summers.

She sealed the cases with local beeswax and placed each piece in the location referred to in its poem. “This included hauling two of the pieces up to the trees in an area we call the Beech Grove, which is on a ridgeline, because those trees would have been taken down by the pipeline,” Spider Vein Removal she says.

As soon as the project was installed in the field, she had a documentary photographer take pictures of each piece, which Aesthetic Medicine Aesthetic Medicine she submitted as a collective eco-art trail complimentary consultations complimentary consultations for copyright registration with the U.S. 434.244.5684 • www.doctorfox.com 434.244.5684 • www.doctorfox.com Copyright Office.

916 East High Street 916 East High Street “As a maker you own the copyright as soon as you make it, but you register that copyright if you anticipate some kind of legal issue,” she says, which is an important distinction for artists-turned-activists.

Because land art derives its meaning from its precise location, an eminent domain lawyer would likely recognize that you can’t just put it somewhere else and maintain its value.

So does the theory work in practice?

Hard to say, because no precedent exists and Williams’ work hasn’t been put to the test. Though she’s collecting examples of successful art-as-environmental-protest tactics, she points to the fact that most battles are won by fights on multiple fronts.

“When we learned that the preferred route [of the pipeline] was now not going to run across this land, I felt it essential * to keep up the fight to help other landowners and other people,” she says. “I also don’t trust Dominion; that they won’t move it back.”

Williams wants to inspire others to consider land-art protests of their own. “The best-case scenario is that the energy companies wake up and realize the future lies in renewables, and if they want to do their shareholders a favor, they will move in that direction with all of their money and their R&D and their publicity,” she says.

After exploring several techniques, Fellows left her nursing practice last year to dedicate herself fully to quilt-making. “With an eye toward my surroundings and nature, I focused on botanicals and landscapes,” Fellows says of her initial process. “I wanted to challenge myself with an abstract series as well.” In the series, she incorporates repurposed vintage handwork, antique Indian silks and even yo-yos.

hen Marvel first sold the film rights to its biggest properties —Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four—it was not yet aware of the gold mine that awaited it with The Avengers series. And at first, Sony and Fox were doing interesting things with their acquisitions; the first two Spider-Man movies by Sam Raimi are industry-defining milestones for both comic films and action films in general, and Bryan Singer’s X-Men and X2 proved that team-driven, caped-hero flicks could work visually, emotionally and financially.

And with Fantastic Four...well, they tried.

Now 18 years after the release of Blade— arguably the risky move that started us down this path—we’re seeing weekly caped hero vs. caped hero megabudget extravaganzas featuring battles of cataclysmic scale.

Where a film like X-Men: Apocalypse would once have been a dream come true for fans of the first entries in this series, what we end up with is less of a galloping epic and more like returning-director Singer limply checking off a series of demands from Fox studios heads as they attempt to play catch-up with

Marvel, even though the former company had an enormous head start.

Here’s the plot: Apocalypse—played by the normally engaging Oscar Isaac in makeup indistinguishable from an evil wizard at a Renaissance faire—was the first mutant who aspires for godhood in ancient Egypt. He goes to sleep for a while. He wakes up. He still wants godhood, so everyone fights about it.

Many thousands die, except for good guys with names you remember. Wolverine shows up in the middle, kills a bunch of anonymous soldiers, says nothing, leaves. One paragraph just saved you 140 minutes of your life.

Paradoxically, as the titles of these comic book behemoths get more and more dire— Dawn of Justice, Civil War, now just straightup Apocalypse—fewer characters of consequence seem to be dying permanent deaths: Phoenix and Stryker in X2, darn near everyone in X-Men: The Last Stand. Evidently, Fox’s strategy for emulating Marvel’s success is to focus on building a shared universe full of characters with name recognition. The thing they neglected, however, is that Marvel takes the time to make good individual movies in between the world-destroying epics because, ultimately, the name recognition matters less than the quality of the product.

The worst part about X-Men: Apocalypse isn’t its failure as a film. It’s that it corners its own fanbase into questioning whether the first two entries were even good enough to merit this sort of grandeur to begin with.

Sure, they introduced the balance of camp and gravitas that can be found in much of Marvel’s output, but bending the tone of the

X-Men: Apocalypse PG-13, 140 minutes Violet Crown Cinema, Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX

original franchise past its breaking point for little reason beyond reminding the world that this franchise still belongs to them is doing nobody any favors.

Bottom line, X-Men: Apocalypse doesn’t look good. It’s not fun. It barely makes sense.

Yet inevitably, there will be further entries with even larger battles with even lower stakes. It took three successive failures for Sony to give up on its once-great Spider-Man franchise, allowing Marvel to use the character to terrific effect in Civil War. We can only pray that Fox does the same, pulling the plug on this once-interesting now-lifeless franchise.

The worst part about X-Men: Apocalypse isn’t its failure as a film. It’s that it corners its own fanbase into questioning whether the first two entries were even good enough to merit this sort of grandeur to begin with.

Our original quest was to share a chocolate chip cookie with our very “best friend”, Sam. We substituted carob and rice flour as ingredients in our cookie recipe. The home-baked cookies became our Snackers. Then, we began a search for quality food. The more labels we read, the more dismayed we were.

(Do you know what "by-product" means?

Yuck.) So we tracked down experts to help us prepare a natural, well-balanced formula that let our (and now your) pets thrive.

vorful, so non-meat-eaters may be perfectly content ordering that every time.

The entrées come without sides, which is where the mixing and matching comes in.

Pair anything with a bowl of clam chowder, order a full-sized kale Caesar salad with shrimp or chicken for the table to share or choose from the list of eight available sides.

The mac-and-cheese features cavatappi pasta with a silky-smooth sharp cheddar cheese sauce, broiled to create a light crust on top. Hand-cut French fries are available as a side, as are duck-fat potatoes, fried to crispy perfection and served lightly seasoned in a small cast iron skillet. There’s also a list of appetizers that includes barbecue shrimp,

French onion dip and dry-rubbed wings, a twist on the classic buffalo served with Crystal hot sauce and house ranch.

“It’s been great to see people interact with the menu and make their own dining experience,” Ridge says.

The Fitzroy is serving dinner seven days a week, with late-night hours every day (closing at midnight Sunday through Tuesday and 2am Friday and Saturday).

“We really want to have this balance where we feel like a nice restaurant but also transition into a great place to get a drink late-night,” Ridge says, adding that they plan to start serving lunch and weekend brunch once they’ve got their bearings on dinner and late-night.

“We wanted to create more room for people, and it was great to see folks fill those spaces,” says Richard Ridge. “You get a different feel depending on which part of the restaurant you’re sitting in.”

June 1 – 7, 2016 c-ville.com

ichard Ridge and Kelley Tripp wanted to create a gathering place on the Downtown Mall, a restaurant and bar where folks can become regulars. Given that the doors have only officially been open since last week, it’s hard to say if everybody knows your name yet at the new space, but it’s certainly already drawing a crowd.

Introducing The Fitzroy, the newest place to grab dinner and a drink on the Downtown Mall. Located at 120 E. Main St. in the old Blue Light Grill spot, The Fitzroy has big shoes to fill. Blue Light was a downtown staple for 15 years, serving up classic seafood dishes and swanky cocktails in a sleek, preppy atmosphere. Ownership quietly changed hands in April of last year, and in November, Blue Light served its final meal before Ridge, Tripp and their other business partners, Ryan Rooney and Kevin Badke, began overhauling the space and menu.

Six months later, it is rebranded and almost entirely unrecognizable, with an exposed brick wall, black-and-white subwaystyle tile with a capital letter F behind the newly built bar, dark-stained wood shelving and a lot more seating. During its grand opening last Tuesday evening, guests packed into the seats around the bar, the high-top tables, the cozy tufted booths and the banquette seats lining the brick wall (all of which were designed and built by Hector Zamora of Zamora General Contracting).

Outdoor seating is limited for now, but Ridge says the full patio will open within the next few weeks.

“A lot of the changes we made were aesthetic, but we also made some more opera-

tional changes,” Ridge says. “We wanted to create more room for people, and it was great to see folks fill those spaces. You get a different feel depending on which part of the restaurant you’re sitting in.”

The menu is more reminiscent of downhome comfort food, but, as promised to the loyal seafood-loving Blue Light crowd, guests can still indulge in a giant platter of raw oysters on the half shell with horseradish, and cocktail and mignonette sauces. For those who prefer their shellfish cooked, consider the oysters Rockefeller (roasted with spinach, sausage, bacon, absinthe and Parmesan cheese) or oysters larroquette (roasted with andouille sausage and lemon-rosemary butter).

As for the inspiration behind the menu, Ridge says it’s all about options.

“With the format we have, you can really make it customizable, and people have appreciated that,” he says. “We’ve seen people build different meals based on certain dietary needs, whether they like to share or not, or how hungry they are.”

Sandwiches include The Fitzroy burger made with dry-aged Seven Hills beef that’s ground in-house every day, a fried shrimp po’ boy with remoulade, buttermilk-battered fried chicken with lemon cayenne aioli and an all-things-local club with chicken, ham, bacon and avocado. Items like a thickcut pork chop, short rib stroganoff and house meatloaf make up the entrée section, plus there’s a daily fish (halibut, for the time being) with caramelized lemon and herbs.

The cauliflower “steak” is the only vegetarian-friendly main dish, but the giant slice of a cauliflower head served with a beurre blanc made from Bold Rock cider, tarragon and Parmesan is surprisingly hefty and fla-

a few, and Chaps leaves a giant bowl of water outside to ensure your pup stays hydrated on long downtown walks in the heat.

Off the mall, the patios at Guadalajara, Beer Run, Bang!, Firefly and Brazos Tacos all welcome dogs, as do a few spots on the Corner, such as Boylan Heights and Cafe Caturra. As for the breweries, the list includes Blue Mountain and Champion, and Three Notch’d even allows well-behaved dogs inside the tasting room.

Goodies galore Coffee certainly isn’t recommended for pets, but if you ask for a “puppuccino” at Starbucks you’ll get a little cup of whipped cream just for your pooch (or you, who’s watching?!). Dairy Queen also offers a small cup of vanilla ice cream for dogs called the “pup cup,” and the folks behind the counter at Atlas Coffee keep a jar of dog treats on hand for your pup.

And let’s not forget the local companies dedicated entirely to dog treats. Surprise your pooch on his birthday with a healthy pupcake from Charlottesville Dog Barkery, or pick up some dog (or cat!) treats, such as crumbly peanut butter snackers or sweet, chocolate-esque carob chip snackers from Ancestry Pet Food (formerly known as Sammy Snacks).

Four-legged guests are welcome at Keswick Vineyard any time, even inside the tasting room, and human guests can let their dogs run around off-leash in the fenced-in dog park on-site.

Dog days of summer

Donald Peppard, DVM

June 1 – 7, 2016 c-ville.com

Is there anything better than sipping on a glass of wine while either playing with your own dog or visiting with other animals, all for a good cause? Every Sunday from May through October, Keswick Vineyards hosts a yappy hour, during which $1 from each bottle purchased goes to a local animal shelter. They partner with a different shelter each week, and sometimes volunteers from those shelters bring cats and dogs to the winery for guests to meet and adopt, according to Wine Club Marketing Manager Jacqueline Rullman, who’s adopted one of those pups herself. Four-legged guests are welcome at Keswick any time, even inside the tasting room, and human guests can let their dogs run around off-leash in the fenced-in dog park on-site.

“We wanted to give back, and we found that once we became dog-friendly, everyone started bringing their dogs,” says Rullman. “It’s kind of like bringing kids to the park, with the parents all hanging out and talking to each other.”

Clifton Inn also hosts yappy hour every Thursday on its dog-friendly terrace, and Threepenny Cafe occasionally does the same on its patio. Threepenny’s events are more sporadic, but dogs are welcome outside all the time, and owner Merope Pavlides says they always keep all-natural dog treats on hand for their furry guests.

Mediation is a dignified, confidential process in which mediators help the couple through the aspects of child custody, co-parenting, support and property issues.

Mediation can save significant time and money and result in a written separation (divorce) agreement, developed by the couple rather than a court.

By Rob Brezsny

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Cancer (June 21-July 22): According to many sources on the Internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.”

If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): I’m debating about which of your astrological houses will be your featured hot spot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood. Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo?

I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat.

Congratulations in advance!

June 1 – 7, 2016 c-ville.com

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her

Gemini (May 21-June 20): I foresee fertile chaos in your immediate future, Gemini. I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity. Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories. Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter.

Love your life exactly as it is. Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks. “Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power. mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightning-flash glimpse of what the new you might look like.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says.

“Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing.

Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people, things and events. Be so empty you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “No gift is ever exactly right

Ragged Mountain Running Shop

for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you. Two gifts would be better; three sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.” Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days. The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.” During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news:

Plus it’s quiet on the Historic UVA Corner with our student neighbors away for the Summer.

#3 Elliewood with Free Doorstep Parking I raggedmountainrunning.com

Aries (March 21-April 19): The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, because the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news: In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core—the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): We are inclined to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused.

Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s-eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

A tardigrade. An incredibly tiny extremophile that’s nigh immortal and can survive in even the vacuum of space.

A panda because everyone wants me to have kids for some reason.

Sloth.

It’s a bird. When I was a kid I often had recurring dreams about flying or floating. I’m in awe of the bird. @ATHEISTLADY/TWITTER

Obviously, the worm in a bottle of mescal. @DAVIDSEWELLVA/TWITTER

Wolf because I feel like I travel alone sometimes but when I’m with my family, I work well in a pack. But I can also fend for myself.

PIERRE ANDERSON

Owl. Because she flies across open spaces and into my chest when I meditate. Because she sits on top of the gable in my bedroom and wakes me with her hunting call.

I’d be an otter because they get life partners and build bonds which is rare in animals to stick around like that. I think they also use rocks as tools so they’re creative.
