LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Last week, I received an email from a University of Richmond undergraduate asking if I would participate in an interview in my capacity as President of the Church Hill Association for a class she was taking called “Eating Locally, Thinking Globally.” How flattering for our neighborhood, I thought, as I typed “of course,” hit the send button and arranged to meet on a Sunday afternoon at Captain Buzzy’s. The day arrived and I easily picked out the three very nice UR undergrads who were collaborating on their class project. They had a video camera and a microphone. At their request, I signed two separate waivers. No problem, this wasn’t a Sunday Morning political talk show - I planned to chat about all the new, interesting restaurants in which you could “eat locally” in Church Hill. So I didn’t even see it coming when the first question was whether Church Hill was a “food desert.”

For a moment, not a word came out of my mouth. My first thought was “no, it’s not a food desert” . . . “at least not the Church Hill that I live in” . . . “we have a Farm Fresh” . . . “we all have cars.” But the truth is that the very space we were sitting in, before it served Buzzy’s Blend and sesame bagels with lox and cream cheese, was a true Church Hill corner store. Walking in, the first smell to hit you was kerosene not coffee. The aisles were mere paths between boxes and cans of packaged food, paper products, and the other miscellany that supports life in small allotments. The refrigerators mostly held beer and produce was scarce. While we used to shop there occasionally for convenience, plenty of folks living nearby shopped there out of necessity.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines a food desert as an area where people cannot access affordable and nutritious food. Today, south of Marshall Street, the corner stores are mostly long gone; but in greater Church Hill, if you don’t have a car or reliable access to transportation, the answer to my young interlocutor’s question is undeniably “yes” parts of Church Hill are in a food desert.

My initial struggle to answer this first question left me more than a little perplexed. Unexpectedly, part of the answer arrived while helping my daughter, a high school senior, study for her comparative government exam. Two of the terms we discussed were “bonding social capital” and “bridging social capital,” both described by Robert Putman in his book, Bowling Alone. Social capital is, simply, the non-monetary benefit that flows from social networks - big and small. Bonding social capital refers to the benefits of like-minded individuals and groups banding together to reinforce collective goals. In contrast, bridging social capital refers to the benefits derived from social networks between socially heterogeneous groups. “Bridging allows different groups to share and exchange information, ideas and innovation and builds consensus among the groups representing diverse interests.” See Blog, http://blogs.worldbank.org/publicsphere/bonding-and-bridging by Sabina Panth, 2010.

So, when asked about food deserts in Church Hill, I initially viewed the question, and the Church Hill Association, through the lens of an organization that bonds by addressing our common issues. A lack of accessible and nutritious food is not a problem, by and large, that our members face. That was an unfortunate oversight because I think our organization does some of its best work when working with diverse groups, creating bridging social capital. Tricycle Gardens is working to provide fresh produce to corner stores and sponsors a local, weekly, farmer’s market at 31st Street Baptist Church. As an organization, we should help. The proposed 29th Street bicycle path presents opportunities to work with a number of diverse groups as the planning process continues. We have also been at the planning table for the Richmond Symphony Orchestra Big Tent Event (May 6 – 8) to support music education in the Richmond Public Schools’ East End. So let’s reach out. While we have much to do that fosters our common goals, there are many more opportunities to bridge and connect and to reap the benefits as an organization and as a community.

Richmond Tree Stewards

Richmond January Thursday 28th, 2016

Dear neighbors, walking in the streets of Church Hill!

As Richmond Tree Stewards1 and under Richmond City (Public Works’ Urban Forestry Division) approval, we have been working on Church Hill trees. Lately, we got the street trees ready for the UCI cycling race and we took care of the ones on: M street, Jefferson Ave, Jefferson Park, and now N 25th street. This was more than a hundred trees “touched”.

Yes, we just finished the N. 25th Street project! With the help of other Richmond Tree Steward volunteers, we did some clearance and structural pruning on the trees on N 25th Street between Broad Street and 9 Mile Road. What does that mean? Now you should be able to enjoy the trees when you walk on the sidewalks or when you park and get in or out of your cars. Tree Stewards also check on the health and safety of trees and report any issues to the City of Richmond Arborist. Just to give you an idea of what we do, here are 3 pictures of our last tree of this project. The tree below is located near the intersection of N 25th Street and 9 Mile Road.

The Historical ‘Hinge’By Jon Sealy

My first novel, “The Whiskey Baron,” is a crime novel set during Prohibition in a South Carolina cotton mill village. When I went on the road to promote it, people asked about the idea for the book and seemed surprised to learn I never set out to write a book about murder and bootlegging.

In fact, I spent three years writing scenes about life in the textile mills, a world my grandparents’ generation came out of. I eventually decided writing about mill work wasn’t much more interesting than actually doing mill work, so I made up a murder on page one, invented the sheriff and the local whiskey baron, and the book wrote itself from there.

What drew me to the time and place was the realization, as a young man out of college, that people in my grandparents’ generation were passing away in a hurry. Every few months, there was another funeral, and it dawned on me that time keeps moving forward, and we didn’t have too many years left where people who remembered the 1930s would be here to tell us about it.

I think of that period as kind of a knuckle or hinge, where experienced life fades into the historical record. After all, no one is left to tell us about life during World War I. All we have is recorded history. In another 20 years, the hinge will shift and no one will be here to tell us about life in the early 1930s. And then the hinge will shift again and again as each generation passes away.

I try to imagine having a grandchild ask me about life in the early 2000s and maybe writing a novel set in our era. But I think about how much the world has changed over the past 80 years, and how much the world will continue to change over the next 80 years, and I simply can’t fathom what comes next, after today has slid into the historical record.

Jon Sealy is on the board of James River Writers and lives in Glen Allen, VA.

Chess Club is back at the Castle on the Hill. Fifteen students from grades 3-5 will learn classic game strategy and compete as a team later in the Spring. The club was started in 2015 by then 4th-grade teacher Cynthia Gino in the last year of her long career in Richmond Public Schools. Mrs. Gino has come back out of retirement to lead the club again. She is joined by co-coach Jimmie Tatum, Bellevue’s gem of an Exceptional Education teacher. Mr. Tatum was also mentioned in last month’s article on the Teacher of the Year - he wears a lot of hats at Bellevue, including, at Christmastime, a certain red fur one …If you are a chess aficionado in the neighborhood we would love for you to share your knowledge. Please call Charla Armstead at the school 804-780-4417 to ask about volunteer opportunities or a one-time Chess Club visit.

In February the “Dancing Man” workshop welcomed Kendall Neely the Arts Coordinator and Chair of Theater and Dance Departments at St. Catherine’s School. Mrs. Neely is a gifted performer, choreographer and teacher; she leads the upper school level of Joni Rodman Dance Theater a program named after a former student.

Joining Ms. Neely was Rachel Young an accomplished dancer in the Joni Rodman Dance Theater program who has trained for nine years at the School of the Richmond Ballet. Miss Young is participating in the pilot year of the Intensive Studies Program (ISP) at St. Catherine’s School with an Arts-focused project on Dance Education, the ISP project emphasizes research and also sharing the work in the community. We are thrilled to benefit from this new venture and time with these talented creatives. A group from the school returned to Bellevue on March 2 to work with the entire fifth grade as an extension of the teaching they did in NYC on their X term in late February.

Also on March 2 we celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with a morning read-aloud of his books. Participating were community members including local law enforcement and volunteers from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and CarMax each donning a custom Cat in the Hat-hat rendered in the school colors of purple and gold. The hats were lovingly handmade by former Bellevue teacher Charlotte Lucas and almost the entire staff (including the dancing man statue

out front) will wear them that day.

And on the subject of green eggs and ham, please visit our booth at the Irish festival this month (March 19 & 20). We are selling luck in the form of shamrock seedlings planted by the students —luck costs only a buck. Southern States on Williamsburg Road generously donated the potting soil for this venture and our tent comes on loan from Chuck Wrenn (a Hill legend unto himself ). All funds raised are for the Bellevue PTA.
