COVID-19 outbreak

COVID-19 survivor Rev. Morris R. Gant Jr. credits faith, prayers and medical care for getting him to the other side of pandemic

Mayor, others quarantine

Forward by faith

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Tens of thousands of people across Virginia and millions across the nation have been infected with COVID-19 — and the data show the vast majority recovered without feeling much effect.

So how bad can this virus be?

Just ask the Rev. Morris R. Gant Jr., 62, who is living proof of the agony that those hit hardest can endure — if they live.

The Richmond area resident and former pastor of Guildfield Baptist Church in Powhatan County is still recovering from the viral infection that left him hospitalized for 64 days. He spent 24 days of those days unconscious, breathing with the help of a ventilator.

Rev. Gant was among the first people infected as the virus entered Virginia in mid-March. His survival is being called a miracle by his loved ones, as most people who went on ventilators in the first months did not make it.

While on the ventilator in a druginduced coma, he suffered a host of additional medical problems that were potentially fatal — two strokes; blood poisoning; and liver, heart and kidney damage that required around-the-clock dialysis. He also contracted double pneumonia and had blood clots.

Even after Rev. Gant came off the ventilator, it took him an additional three weeks before he could use a walker and Please turn to A4

Democrat Joe Biden is calling this “a time for healing” in claiming victory in the 2020 presidential election.

“Folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They’ve delivered us a clear victory,” the 77-year-old president-elect said Saturday evening from Wilmington, Del., as he stood with his running mate and future vice president, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, who will be the first woman, first Black and first South Asian to fill the nation’s second highest office.

In the wake of the knockdown, drag-out battle for the top office against President Trump, Mr. Biden urged Americans to come together.

“Let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again,” he said. “It’s a time to heal.”

That may be tough in a nation that appears to be engaged in a political civil war, cleaved between the red Republicans and blue Democrats.

Though counts continue in some parts of the country and

The Virginia Department of Health reported on Wednesday a total of 196,506 positive cases of COVID-19 statewide, along with 13,273 hospitalizations and 3,741 deaths.

The number of new coronavirus cases has exceeded 1,000 daily for the last week, officials said.

According to Virginia data, African-Americans comprised 23.7 percent of cases and 27.2 percent of deaths for which ethnic and racial data is available, while Latinos made up 26.4 percent of the cases and 9.2 percent of deaths.

Locally, as of Wednesday, 5,840 cases and 78 deaths were reported in Richmond; 7,043 cases and 243 deaths were reported in Henrico; and 7,849 cases and 120 deaths were reported in Chesterfield.

A rash of new COVID-19 cases, outbreaks and quarantines have emerged following the election, underlying the continuing threat of the virus locally, statewide and across the nation.

Mayor Levar M. Stoney announced Monday on a social media post that he and his staff have gone into quarantine after a member of his campaign team tested positive for COVID-19.

The campaign staffer, he tweeted, had interacted with the staff at the Richmond Voter Registrar’s office, where city Registrar Kirk Showalter announced earlier Monday that three employees had tested positive for COVID-19 last week after Election Day. City health officials said Wednesday that number is now nine, with three to five other people in the registrar’s office experiencing symptoms and getting tested for the virus.

Also impacted is former mayoral candidate Alexsis E. Rodgers, who also stated on social media that she would be quarantining “after being in the registrar’s office and near individuals who have since tested positive.”

And three officers with the Richmond Police Department also are in quarantine awaiting results of their COVID-19 tests after possible exposure from interacting with staff at the registrar’s office.

Ms. Showalter said that 90 percent of her staff is now under quarantine until Nov. 17, with only four out of 40 workers reporting to the office this week.

She said the Laburnum Avenue building was deep cleaned on Nov. 6 and was cleaned again this week.

City and state health officials are working with the office to conduct contact tracing, and it does not appear that the public is at risk.

Ms. Showalter said that because of her office’s reduced capacity, it was uncertain whether she would be able to finish certifying hundreds of provisional ballots ahead of Tuesday’s reporting deadline to the state Department of Elections.

She said her office had informed state election officials of the situation.

“We will have all figures in before midnight online except the provisional ballots,” Ms. Showalter said Tuesday in an email. “I am hoping to finish the research of the provisional ballots (Wednesday) for the board to review on Thursday.”

2nd District surprise: Katherine L. Jordan declared winner of City Council seat after election night miscount

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Katherine L. Jordan is in, and Tavarris J. Spinks is out.

A week after the Nov. 3 Ms. Jordan election, newly posted certified results show Ms. Jordan, 46, decisively won the 2nd District City Council race.

She will replace Councilwoman Kim B. Gray, who lost in her bid to unseat the mayor.

Ms. Jordan’s unexpected victory — one of the substantial corrections to results — was the only change in the outcomes the Free Press reported last week in Richmond’s local elections based on unofficial results.

As of Wednesday, Richmond Voter Registrar Kirk Showalter, hampered by a coronavirus outbreak in her office, was completing

a review of more than 900 provisional ballots that she expected to be finished before Friday. But those votes, if accepted, are not expected to change the results.

Unofficial results last week showed Ms. Jordan, an urban and environmental planner, losing by 26 votes to Mr. Spinks, an information technology specialist.

That changed late Tuesday when Ms. Showalter, who had rejected making updates during the post-election canvass of results, finally posted official counts.

Those changes showed Ms. Jordan won by 1,234 votes.

In the updated tally, Ms. Jordan received 7,195 votes, or 54.3 percent of the 14,186 cast early or on Election Day in the district, while Mr. Spinks received 5,961 votes or 45 percent, with 103 write-in votes comprising the rest.

Election observers indicated that at least 1,000 votes first reported for Mr. Spinks ended up being shifted to Ms. Jordan.

A bit surprised by the turnaround, Ms. Jordan said, “It appears definitive that I have been selected to represent the 2nd District on City Council.

“This was a hard-fought election against an opponent who ran a great race. I am honored and humbled by the outcome.

I look forward to serving the people of this district to the best of my ability.”

Meanwhile, the official results confirm that Mayor Levar M. Stoney was re-elected to a second term as were seven council incumbents and another newcomer, Ann-Frances Lambert, who won a three-way race in the 3rd District to replace outgoing Councilman Chris A. Hilbert.

Ms. Jordan will add to female domination of City Council.

Mr. Belasco

Actor Bert Belasco dies in Henrico hotel; no foul play suspected Free Press staff report

Actor Bert Belasco, best known for his starring role in the BET comedy series “Let’s Stay Together,” was found dead Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020, in a hotel in Henrico County.

He was 38.

The actor’s death was first reported by TMZ and later confirmed by the Henrico Police Department, which reported no foul play is suspected.

A resident of Woodland Hills, Calif., Mr. Belasco was in Virginia for a role in a movie and was in quarantine in the hotel as part of required preparation for work on the set, his father, Bert Belasco Sr., said in a statement to TMZ. When family could not reach him, they contacted the hotel and asked that they check on him. Mr. Belasco’s body was found by hotel staff, who alerted Henrico County Police.

Mr. Belasco’s father believes his son died of an aneurysm, but nothing concrete has been confirmed.

“As with all death investigations, Henrico Police detectives are working closely with the Commonwealth of Virginia Medical Examiner’s Office,” according to a statement issued

by Henrico Police.

“Henrico Police detectives will continue to work with the Commonwealth’s Medical Examiner’s Office and legal next of kin as they continue to investigate the untimely death of Mr. Belasco.”

Tributes and condolences were posted on social media by Mr. Belasco’s friends and co-stars on “Let’s Stay Together,” where he spent four seasons playing the character Charles Whitmore.

The show ran from 2011 to 2014.

“Heartbroken at the passing of Bert Belasco — a talented, kind young man who I had the pleasure of working with numerous times on #LetsStayTogether,” co-star Jackée Harry wrote on Twitter. “Squeeze your loved ones tight! Tomorrow is never promised.”

A native of South Carolina, Mr. Belasco earned a theater degree from Southern Illinois University and joined Chicago’s popular Second City improv theater. Beginning in 2007, he appeared on television shows such as “House” and “Justified before landing the role on “Let’s Stay Together.”

He also appeared in such popular series as “Key & Peele,” “NCIS: New Orleans,” “Superstore” and “Pitch,” the baseball drama in which he had a recurring role.

Corrections Dr. Elizabeth P. Baughan, associate professor of classics and archaeology at the University of Richmond, was involved in an Oct. 31 volunteer event at the Sons and Daughters of Ham Cemetery that abuts UR’s campus. Her name was misspelled in a photo caption accompanying an article about the Friends of East End Cemetery published in the Nov. 5-7 edition of the Free Press.

The Friends of East End Cemetery also previously worked more than seven years, beginning in summer 2013, improving East End Cemetery.

The cemetery, opened in 1897, straddles the boundary between Richmond and Henrico County. Courts in both jurisdictions were involved in ultimately turning over the abandoned cemetery to a private company, Parity LLC, associated with Enrichmond Foundation, which lists itself as the cemetery’s owner on its website.

The Free Press regrets the errors.

••• An article from wire reports published in the Oct. 22-24 edition of the Free Press about the death of St. Augustine’s University President Irving P. McPhail included an incorrect figure for the university’s student body.

A university official told the Free Press that the Raleigh, N.C., school currently has 1,076 students.

The Free Press regrets the error.

Yes, it merits investigation.

No, I’m not going to conduct it.

That’s the answer Timothy A. Martin, the Augusta County commonwealth’s attorney, has provided to the question of whether a probe is needed of Richmond’s spending of $1.8 million to remove city-owned Confederate statues from Monument Avenue and other locations in early July.

Mr. Martin disclosed Tuesday that rather than convene a grand jury, he has asked Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring to request that the State Police conduct an investigation.

If Mr. Herring approves and activates the State Police, and after the State Police complete its probe, Mr. Martin then would be responsible to review the findings to determine if there is a case or whether the matter should be dropped.

The spending became an issue in the mayoral campaign as City Councilwoman Kim B. Gray, who ultimately was unsuccessful in her challenge to unseat Mayor

Mayor Stoney

Mr. Martin

Levar M. Stoney, pushed for an investigation of whether the mayor violated any procurement laws in awarding the contract to remove the statues.

In seeking the probe, Ms. Gray noted the contract went to a company whose owner, Devon Henry, has given Mayor Stoney and his One Richmond political action committee a combined $4,000 since 2016, according to campaign records.

Mayor Stoney repeatedly has expressed confidence that any investigation would find he had authority under state law to remove the statues and that he did not suggest Mr. Henry’s company or inter-

vene on Mr. Henry’s behalf as city staff sought a contractor to handle the work as an emergency.

Mr. Martin has been mulling the question since Sept. 21 when the Richmond Circuit Court named him to consider how to proceed after Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette W. McEachin stepped aside, claiming the appearance of a potential conflict.

Mr. Henry also had contributed about $250 about 10 years ago to a state Senate campaign for her husband, U.S. Rep. A. Donald McEachin.

Mr. Martin had three choices: Drop the matter; set up a grand jury to investigate, which would require his staff’s involvement; or ask Mr. Herring for State Police help.

Mr. Martin waited until after the Nov. 3 election that Mayor Stoney won to release his decision. State law only allows the governor, attorney general or a grand jury to undertake a probe of a local elected official and to seek investigative help from the State Police.

VCU drops Moore Street School day care project

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Virginia Commonwealth University apparently has dropped its $5 million plan to transform the historic, but deteriorating Moore Street School in the Carver community near Downtown into a day care and child development center for pre-school children.

One of the key reasons: Richmond Public Schools’ failure to keep its promise to transfer the building’s ownership to the city so that City Council could sell it to the VCU School of Education for $1.

Jerome Legions, president of the Carver Area Civic Improvement League, said Sunday that the dean of the school, Dr. Andrew P. Daire, notified him that the project is being abandoned because it is taking too long to gain needed approvals.

“This was a good project that would have benefited the community, and it is a real shame that it will not be moving forward,” Mr. Legions said.

Dr. Daire confirmed Monday that the project is no longer on the agenda of the VCU School of Education. The proposal fell through for various reasons, he stated, including “cost, the timeline and a more challenging process than anticipated.”

Moore Street School opened in 1887 as the first building the city erected for the education of Black students. Located at 1113 W. Moore St., the essentially vacant but stately, two-story building is attached to the current and more modern Carver Elementary School that faces Leigh Street.

Moore Street School was officially closed in 2000, although some space previously was used for recreation for Carver students and for other purposes. At one point, the Carver Area Civic Improvement League had been granted permission to turn it into a community center, but the league was never able to raise the money to make it happen.

Dr. Daire, looking to expand the school’s child development program on the VCU

Moore Street School

campus that primarily serves children of faculty and staff, began talking in 2019 with city and school officials about obtaining the building. The talks included the area’s City Council representative, outgoing 2nd District Councilwoman Kim B. Gray.

He indicated VCU was prepared to invest up to $5 million to improve the building to serve 148 children ages 18 months to 5 years, including 60 children associated with VCU and 40 other children associated with community residents.

As part of the deal, 48 children were to come from lower-income families in the Gilpin Court and Carver neighborhoods whose out-of-pocket costs largely would be eliminated if they qualified for government subsidies for day care.

VCU also pledged to undertake efforts to improve literacy for those 48 children and the adults in their lives. The plan called for offering parents financial literacy and workforce programs, assisting them with job searches and providing other programs that would increase individual and family well-being, such as couples and relationship education.

Amid concern about the slow-moving talks with the school administration, Ms. Gray and Mr. Legions began speaking out last December to encourage a faster pace.

Ms. Gray warned then that VCU could walk away without faster movement.

In early February, the Richmond School Board voted to endorse VCU’s plan, authorized the administration to sign a final deal with VCU and directed the administration to start the process to transfer Moore Street School ownership to the city.

Nine months later, there is no evidence in the public record that the deed transfer took place during the disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The School Board has not approved a quit-claim deed that would allow the title transfer to the city.

As of Monday, the building is still listed as being under the ownership of Richmond Public Schools and part of the Carver campus. There is no evidence of issuance of any requests seeking proposals for an adaptive re-use for the building. And no ordinance or other paper has been introduced at City Council to authorize the sale of the building to a third party, according to the City Clerk’s online record system.

“The community was on board and everything seemed to be in place,” Mr. Legions said. “VCU has the resources to get this done. Now it’s back to the drawing board to find another party who wants the building for a purpose that is compatible with the residents.”

Chesterfield County resumes in-person classes amid pushback Free Press wire report

The final cohort of students in Chesterfield County Public Schools began inperson classes Monday amid pushback from teachers and staff about the decision.

About 34,000 middle school and high school students from Chesterfield were separated into two groups for the inperson classes. One group will meet on Mondays and Tuesdays, while the second

group is scheduled to meet Thursdays and Fridays.

Students are scheduled to have virtual classes on Wednesdays. Families also have the option of keeping their children entirely in virtual learning.

About 28,600 students from the school system had previously resumed in-person classes, but a recent survey of the school district’s staff showed that nearly 900 staff members felt “uneasy” about more students

heading back to the classroom.

Chesterfield schools officials said they are working with employees to reiterate their “commitment to a safe and working learning environment.” But Emma Clarke, a middle school teacher, said the district is “willfully ignoring the thoughts and feelings of their staff members.”

There have been 50 confirmed coronavirus cases among Chesterfield schools employees, a contractor and a visitor since September.

Richmonders react to Biden-Harris victory

By Ronald E. Carrington

People around Richmond celebrated with jubilation Saturday the election of Democrats Joe Biden as president and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris as the first woman, first Black and first South Asian vice president.

Brenda Nichols, a semi-retired music educator with Henrico County Public Schools and Virginia Union University, was elated when she learned Saturday of the Biden-Harris victory.

“I am so excited for America to see what Kamala Harris will expose to the world. What a great example she is for my five female grandchildren, as well as other African-American women of all complexions, colors and hues.”

The Washington Park resident is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, which Sen. Harris pledged while a student at Howard University. Ms. Nichols said her daughter, Dr. Colita N. Fairfax, also an AKA and a member of Norfolk State University’s faculty, was at Howard at the same time and was acquainted with Sen. Harris.

“We (the AKAs) take such pride and joy that Sister Kamala has proven the fact that we can achieve all things,” Mrs. Nichols said. “We are grateful that she possesses the ability to be humble and trained to do this work she is privileged to do for America with incoming President Joseph Biden.”

She said she has now witnessed two historic national elections – the election of President Obama, the nation’s first Black

battleground states, including Michigan, Arizona and Georgia, enabling Mr. Biden to overcome, albeit narrowly, a Republican surge on Election Day. If the votes are confirmed and certified, the divisive President Trump, who has undermined the office and turned lies and insults into badges of honor, would be the first sitting president to lose re-election since George H.W. Bush in 1992.

Still, President Trump has yet to concede. On Wednesday, he was still declaring himself the winner backed by a chorus of GOP sycophants echoing that theme. He also is blocking Mr. Biden from gaining resources or cooperation to begin the transition. And he has joined with the likes of Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas to try to undermine the results with claims of election fraud without any evidence — even in states where Republicans control the legislatures, such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

That message is being heard loud and clear by Trump supporters who are dismayed their hero did not win.

While there was jubilation over the

outcome of the presidential race in places like Richmond, Atlanta, Detroit and Washington that strongly backed President-elect Biden, there were counter-demonstrations in Trump country where people are holding up “Stop the Fraud” signs and banners.

Recounts are likely in several key states, including Georgia, where a hand-count has been ordered of every presidential ballot after President Trump failed to win. The final, official result of the election also will take time as President Trump’s legal team files a wave of lawsuits seeking to make the outcome appear illegitimate — though he has yet to find a judge to accept any of his team’s arguments.

It looks like Mr. Biden scored a big victory. According to national data, a record 150 million people participated in the election, with Mr. Biden leading in the popular vote.

Currently, he has about 77 million votes to about 72 million for President Trump, a record for both winner and loser.

The total turnout also hit 66.3 percent of the electorate, the highest level since 1908.

But that still means 75 million registered voters did not cast ballots.

As various election watchers have noted, the projected Democratic landslide never materialized and that is likely to leave

Mr. Biden and Democrats in a far weaker position after he takes office Jan. 20.

Notably, Republicans kept control of legislatures in Texas and other key states that Democrats hoped to flip and the winners now will be able to use new 2020 Census data to retain power through gerrymandering and new voter suppression laws.

Even worse, Democrats gained a net of just one new U.S. Senate seat, according to results from around the country, not the three needed to gain control of the Senate, which votes on presidential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, all federal courts and other top government positions.

Democrats’ only chance to get to 50 Senate seats so that Sen. Harris could break ties when she takes over in January as vice president and presiding officer of the Senate is to win both Georgia seats.

Runoffs are to be held for both Georgia Senate seats on Jan. 5.

While Mr. Biden narrowly won the state, the smart money is betting that Republicans will win both seats, giving the GOP a 51-49 margin. If that happens, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will remain majority leader and could ensure that Mr. Biden faces the same gridlock he created to thwart President Obama.

president, and Sen. Harris.

“If you persevere, the goal will happen,” Mrs. Nichols said of the historic elections. “We have to not just pray, but do works to make something happen.”

Justin Dunbar, 34, who retired from the military and now works with Capital One, had goosebumps about the election’s outcome on Saturday.

“It really matters to have a commander-in-chief with respect for American institutions, as well as for both political parties,” Mr. Dunbar said. “It is incredibly important for a president, coming from one party, to represent everybody regardless of political party.”

Mr. Dunbar, a South Side resident, is of Asian descent. He said he has a godson who is African-American.

He said as a member of the military, he worked with people of all races. He believes it’s important for youngsters to see people in office who look like them.

“You don’t understand how important representation matters until you see it,” he said, “like in the movies ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ or ‘Black Panther.’ ” Mr. Biden and Sen. Harris are signs of hope, he said.

Charlotte Rodenburg, an adjunct professor in Virginia Commonwealth University’s Art Department, sat on the porch steps of her North Richmond home, relief and happiness flooding her face. A “Black Lives Matter” banner was attached to her porch railing.

She and her husband, Josh, have two daughters, Xena, 7, and Zelda, 4. She was ecstatic that a woman will become vice president in the new year.

“We are in unprecedented times and it was important to let the process unfold in a way we (Americans) have never seen before,” she said.

“Mr. Biden is the total opposite of President Trump. Mr. Biden is for love and togetherness, as well as working across the aisle.

“The silver lining is that we have discovered how much hate is still in America. And we can now start addressing some of this systemic racism in our country,” she said.

go to the bathroom by himself.

“I couldn’t wipe my booty or stand up next to my bed,” he said, in recalling how even his hands wouldn’t work.

Rev. Gant credits his faith with seeing him through, along with the power of his extended family’s prayers and the medical care he received at Bon Secours-St. Francis Medical Center in Chesterfield County during a time when physicians and nurses were just learning about COVID-19 and best treatment practices.

“It’s been an ordeal,” he said. Even now, he must take steroids to improve his breathing as his lungs were scarred.

His thinking and memory also have been affected by what is called “long haul syndrome,” that can include lingering brain fog, fatigue, shortness of breath and joint and chest pain. When he gets tired — and he still tires more easily — he said he often cannot remember the name of everyday items, such as a comb or kitchen utensils.

It is still a mystery why some people are

infected, some shrug off the disease and some get hammered. Rev. Gant’s wife, Lynda C. Gant, for example, never contracted the disease even though she stayed close to her husband while he was infectious.

However, Rev. Gant’s cautionary tale shows the worst can happen and explains the emphasis being put on wearing masks and keeping at least 6 feet away from others.

Avoiding the disease is one of the best ways to prevent becoming one of the rapidly rising statistics of people who are hit or hospitalized with COVID-19 — like Rev. Gant — or who succumb to it.

A big man who migrated to Virginia from his native Philadelphia, Rev. Gant is a former Richmond Police officer who later worked for 16 years for United Parcel Service before turning to the ministry At 43, he began his career change when he entered the seminary at Virginia Union University, where he earned a master’s degree in theology. He then spent a year at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth to earn

certification in clinical pastoral education.

Since then, Rev. Gant has served primarily as a hospice chaplain, specializing in comforting the dying and helping their families during the process. In 2013, he added to his workload by becoming pastor of Guildfield Baptist and its 50-member congregation.

His COVID-19 story began in March within a week or two after the virus was first detected and Gov. Ralph S. Northam declared a state emergency on March 12.

Rev. Gant is not sure when or where he came into contact with the virus, although he believes it might have happened when he visited a nursing home resident in Chesterfield County.

He said the nursing home was checking temperatures, but it was still very early in the pandemic and masks were not such a big deal.

He said he started getting sick within a few days. When his temperature rose to 102.3, he went to a nearby hospital.

He said he returned home after a doctor told him there was little to be done.

“You can be miserable here or miserable at

COVID-19 outbreak quarantines mayor, others Continued from A1

Mayor Stoney said in his tweets that he and his staff are in quarantine following guidance from the Richmond Health District and City of Richmond employee protocol.

“My staff & I are well prepared to serve the residents of Richmond from home. It’s the safe, responsible thing to do while (Richmond City Health District) traces possible exposures stemming from the Registrar’s Office. This should serve as a sobering reminder that the pandemic is still very real,” the mayor wrote.

“Just because it’s not in the headlines doesn’t mean it’s no longer a threat. Please, monitor yourself for symptoms and take advantage of the resources offered by our Health District.”

Similarly, the Henrico County Voter Registration and Elections Office and the Henrico Department of Public Works also reported an outbreak of COVID-19 on Tuesday. Seven employees have tested positive, one is awaiting test results and officials have begun contact tracing

and rapid testing.

Another 10 cases were reported at seven Henrico County schools since last week. And Chesterfield County also is facing three more COVID-19-related deaths at Tyler’s Retreat at Iron Bridge, for a total of Mayor Stoney 19 deaths at the retirement community.

The state Health Department reported on Wednesday a cumulative total of 5,840 cases and 78 deaths in Richmond; 7,043 cases and 243 deaths in Henrico County; and 7,849 cases and 120 deaths in Chesterfield County.

In a Tuesday media briefing, Gov. Ralph S. Northam and other state officials expressed concern over the continuing spread of the coronavirus throughout the state, where Southwest Virginia is now being hit particularly hard with a positivity rate of 9 percent.

State figures posted Wednesday show 196,506

positive cases in Virginia, 13,273 hospitalizations and 3,741 deaths reported by the Virginia Department of Health.

“You should take precautions around anyone who does not live in your own house,” Gov. Northam said.

Ms. Rodgers “Yes, even if they are your family.”

State officials said antigen tests are continuing to be distributed statewide, along with 700,000 bottles of hand sanitizer and 850,000 masks that have been circulated throughout Virginia so far.

The state also has signed contracts with three companies to increase the amount of daily testing by 7,000.

“Virginians, you have done an exceptional job over the past eight months in responding to this crisis,” Gov. Northam said. “And I know you’re tired. I’m tired. The new normal is still ahead of us.”

home,” he said he was told.

Because testing was extremely limited, he was not yet diagnosed with the coronavirus.

At home, Rev. Gant said his condition continued to deteriorate. “I couldn’t hold my head up,” he said. “I constantly leaned over with my head down. I had no energy, and I had a hard time breathing.”

His wife, using a small medical device to measure his blood oxygen level, persuaded him to go to a hospital when his oxygen level fell to 80 percent, or 13 percentage points below normal.

Mrs. Gant drove him to the hospital. He said a doctor saw him in the emergency room.

“He asked if he could pray for me,” Rev. Gant said. “Those are the last words I heard before I woke up 24 days later.”

Rev. Gant said he finally was able to walk to the bathroom on his own after about 40 days in the hospital. He said he looked in the mirror and saw a bearded figure with unkempt hair. “I almost didn’t recognize myself, ” he said.

Rev. Gant would remain isolated from his family through his six-week stay at St. Francis, followed by another three weeks at the Sheltering Arms Institute Physical Rehabilitation Hospital.

He was able to touch his wife’s hand and face for the first time when he was discharged.

While he was unconscious, his wife would make a video call to him daily, with the hospital staff holding an electronic tablet close so he could hear her voice. She also alerted the extended family that organized prayer circles.

Mrs. Gant never wavered in her certainty he would recover.

She said the palliative care doctor daily would “talk about the high probability that my husband would die and that I needed to make a decision on whether I wanted them to resuscitate if something went wrong.

“I politely told him that I believe in the power of God, the power of prayer and that God was going to heal him and bring him home,” she said.

Mrs. Gant said she also told the physician “that we are a praying family, that I have a village of saints that are praying for him. We bombarded God with specific prayers. Twentyfour days after he was admitted to the hospital, he woke up,” she said.

“He is a miracle. We experienced a miracle.”

women and two men.

Returning members will include current Council President Cynthia I. Newbille, 7th District, who is expected to face a challenge for the council’s top leadership position; Andreas D. Addison, 1st District; Kristen N. Larson, 4th District; Stephanie A. Lynch, 5th District; Ellen F. Robertson, 6th District; Reva M. Trammell, 8th District; and Michael J. Jones, 9th District.

The results in the contests for School Board seats also were undisturbed, portending a potential shake-up in board leadership and a change in the majority in control of policy decisions.

As previously reported five incumbents were re-elected, along with one former board member and three newcomers, including Mariah L. White, who upset incumbent J. Scott Barlow in the 2nd District.

Other newcomers include Stephanie M. Rizzi, who won a four-way race to succeed Dr. Patrick Sapini in the 5th District; and Nicole Jones, who was unopposed after incumbent Linda Owen did not see re-election in of the 9th District.

In the 6th District, voters settled a threeway race to replace outgoing incumbent board member Felicia Cosby by electing their former representative, educator Shonda Harris-Muhammed.

Returning School Board members include Liz B. Doer, 1st District; Kenya J. Gibson, 3rd District; Jonathan M. Young, 4th District; Cheryl Burke, 7th District; and Dawn C. Ms. Showalter Page, 8th District.

The official results also corrected Richmond’s vote totals, boosting the numbers by about 8,000 people from preliminary results. In all, about 112,000 voters participated, a 7.6 percent increase over the 104,000 voters who participated in 2016.

In addition to the 2nd District, miscounts also turned up in the 8th District City Council race, won by Ms. Trammell. At least two precincts had faulty results, leading challenger Amy C. Wentz, who finished second, to initially refuse to concede.

Ms. Wentz conceded on Wednesday after new results appeared

to confirm that Ms. Trammell, an 18-year council veteran, won a majority of the district’s votes.

In a statement, Ms. Wentz said, “This has been an incredible ride.” She noted wins in three of the district’s six precincts.

Speaking with the Free Press, Ms. Wentz also called for an audit of the city’s election operation, citing both the errors in the unofficial results and expressing concern about the accuracy of some of the numbers in the official results.

She called the initial miscounts and the potential problems she spotted in the final results “unacceptable.”

Asked to comment, Ms. Showalter stated that she was aware of the erroneous totals reported in the 2nd and 8th districts.

However, she stated her office’s long-standing policy has been to keep preliminary results unchanged until the canvass is completed, rather than updating the preliminary results if mistakes are found as the tapes of results from voting machines are checked.

“No updates are made on a piecemeal basis so we can ensure that every precinct is correctly reported and that the final results are correct and accurate,” Ms. Showalter stated.

Legal Notices NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION FACILITIES: PARTIAL LINE #2010 230 KV SINGLE CIRCUIT TRANSMISSION LINE UNDERGROUND PILOT PROJECT (TYSONS-FUTURE SPRING HILL SUBSTATION) CASE NO. PUR-2020-00198 On September 29, 2020, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application for approval and certification of electric transmission facilities (“Application”) in Fairfax County, Virginia. Dominion filed its Application pursuant to § 56-585.1:5 and § 56-46.1 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Utility Facilities Act, Code § 56-265.1 et seq. Through its Application, the Company proposes: (1) to remove an approximate 0.56 mile segment of its existing overhead 230 kilovolt (“kV”) RestonTysons Line #2010 from the Tysons Substation to just south of the site for the future Spring Hill Substation and to relocate and replace the line underground; (2) to complete work at the Tysons Substation to allow this segment of Line #2010 to be relocated underground; and (3) to construct a transition pole just south of the future Spring Hill Substation to transition Line #2010 from an underground line to an overhead line (collectively, “Project”).

Dominion states that the Project is necessary to support economic development priorities of the Commonwealth, including the economic development priorities and the Comprehensive Plan of Fairfax County, Virginia.

The Company requests that the Project be approved by the Commission as a project that qualifies as a line to be placed underground, in part, because the Project meets all of the statutory requirements set forth in Code § 56-585.1:5 D for the Underground Pilot Program. Dominion represents that pursuant to Code § 56-585.1:5 D, Fairfax County has adopted a resolution in support of the Project and requested that the Company relocate and convert a portion of Transmission Line #2010 between the Tysons Substation and the future Spring Hill Substation from overhead to underground to facilitate the construction of a large planned mixed-use development, named “The View,” that supports the economic development priorities and Comprehensive Plan of Fairfax County.

The Company states that the desired in-service date for this project is December 31, 2025. The Company represents that the estimated conceptual cost of the Project (in 2020 dollars) is approximately $30.4 million, which includes approximately $22.6 million for underground transmission line-related work, approximately $0.70 million for overhead transmission line-related work, and approximately $7.10 million for substationrelated work.

The Proposed Route consists of approximately 0.58 mile of variable width right-of-way along existing Line #2010 between Tysons Substation and just south of the future Spring Hill Substation site. It largely will be on existing Company owned right-of-way and deviates for approximately 0.10 mile to accommodate the future site of The View development. The Line will exit the existing Tysons Substation across Tyco Road via VDOT permit and continue southwest for approximately 0.20 mile on existing 42-foot right-of-way. Temporary construction easements will be needed along this segment

as will a VDOT permit. At this point, the Line will depart from the existing right-of-way and turn south within a private service road for approximately 0.05 mile on a newly acquired 30-foot easement until it reaches Spring Hill Road (Route 684). Temporary construction easement will be required along this segment. At Spring Hill Road, the Line will turn west within Spring Hill Road for approximately 0.05 mile via a VDOT permit until it reaches Leesburg Pike (Route 7). These two 0.05 mile sections of the Line are being relocated outside of the existing right-of-way to accommodate The View, a future development. At Leesburg Pike, the Line turns southwest crossing under the elevated Metro Train Line and crossing Leesburg Pike via a VDOT permit for approximately 0.05 mile and then continues on existing 42-foot right-of-way for approximately 0.14 mile where it turns southeast and goes around the east side of the future Spring Hill Substation site within existing easement and the future Substation parcel. Temporary construction easements will be required along this segment. Just south of the future Spring Hill Substation parcel, the Line continues on existing 42-foot right-ofway to terminate at a Transition Pole.

For purposes of this Project, the Company intends to build a Transition Pole just south of the location where the Company plans to construct the future Spring Hill Substation. The Transition Pole will be approximately 140 feet tall, subject to final engineering. The Company also intends to replace the existing Structure #2010/12 located south of the future Spring Hill Substation and the Transition Pole. The existing approximately 61-foot Structure #2010/12 will be replaced with an approximately 90-foot structure, subject to final engineering.

All distances, heights, and directions are approximate.

Health Insurance Marketplace enrollment under the ACA is open Free Press staff report

Enrollment is now open to apply for or renew health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, including the expanded Medicaid program.

The deadline to enroll is Tuesday, Dec. 15; those who qualify for Medicaid under the program have until Thursday, Dec. 31, it has been announced.

The deadline is to ensure coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2021.

The nonprofit alliance Enroll Virginia has navigators who can assist people with enrollment or renewal at www.enrollva.org or (888) 392-5132.

In 2019, about 712,000 people, or at least 10 percent of Virginia adults, remained uninsured, state data indicates. That number is expected to be higher now because of layoffs, furloughs and bankruptcies from the coronavirus pandemic.

However, many of those who lost jobs may qualify for health insurance coverage through the state’s expanded Medicaid program.

Ironically, open enrollment is going on as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether the ACA is still constitutional. Oral arguments were heard Tuesday at the court in Washington, D.C., with a decision expected next year.

Also known as Obamacare, the ACA has two elements — providing the government’s Medicaid insurance program to individuals and families with incomes at or below 138 percent of poverty and offering private insurance to those with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, whose employer does not offer health coverage or who are self-employed.

During the current year, enrollment in the Virginia’s expanded Medicaid program has grown by 70,000 people. In all, 452,000 people were covered through the expansion as of August, the state noted, lifting the total number covered by Medicaid to 1.5 million state residents.

Estimates suggest that 10 to 15 percent of those who could qualify have yet to enroll. Individuals with incomes up to $17,609 a year, or $29,973 for a family of three, qualify, according to the state.

Meanwhile, about 269,000 Virginia residents took advantage of the ACA’s private insurance offering through the government’s Health Insurance

Marketplace, Healthcare.gov, according to state data. The program offers subsidies for those with incomes between 138 percent and 200 percent of the poverty line, or $25,520 for an individual and $43,440 for a family of three.

About 84 percent of marketplace enrollees qualify for financial help with their premiums, resulting in average premiums under $100 per month, state officials said.

Nine companies are competing to be providers for state residents this year. While Virginia Premier is leaving the marketplace, a new arrival, Optimum Choice, is joining.

Three companies — Anthem Health Keepers, Cigna and Optima — listed by the state as insuring the largest number of people applying through the ACA program offer plans in the Richmond area.

To initiate coverage, go to the Health Insurance Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov or call (800) 318-2596. TTY service users should call (855) 889-4325. Language services also are available, according to the state.

CARITAS women’s shelter to open in December Free Press staff report

CARITAS is focused on opening its combination headquarters and addiction treatment center and shelter for women in December, according to Karen J. Stanley, executive director of the Richmond region’s largest shelter program for the homeless.

While a firm opening date has not been announced, Ms. Stanley told the Free Press the opening is expected next month.

Ms. Stanley had hoped for a September completion for the $27 million project, which has involved transforming a former tobacco factory at 2220 Stockton St. in South Side.

The project includes offices for CARITAS staff, space for the group’s furniture bank, space for a 28-bed women’s shelter and a 120-bed addiction treatment center, room for a workforce readiness and training program and 47 apartments that will serve program graduates and others.

New review of Marcus-David Peters case justifies shooting again

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Once again, Richmond Police Officer Michael Nyantakyi has been cleared in the May 2018 fatal shooting of 24-year-old teacher Marcus-David Peters during what has been described as a mental crisis, although Mr. Peters’ family continues to describe Mr. Peters’ death as an unpunished murder.

After another review of the case, Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette W. McEachin found that Officer Nyantakyi was justified in firing his weapon as Mr. Peters, naked and unarmed, charged him.

It is the same conclusion Mrs. McEachin’s predecessor, former city Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael N. Herring, reached in 2018.

“The officer’s ultimate decision to use lethal force was a reasonable response to the imminent danger to himself and the public by Mr. Peters’ continued violent behavior due to his mental deterioration,” Mrs. McEachin wrote in concluding the 10-page report released Nov. 6 after a nearly 90-day review.

The case is somewhat different than other police shootings that have gained widespread

national attention. Mr. Peters, Officer Nyantakyi and the city’s prosecutor all are Black.

Still, many people protesting racial injustice and police brutality in Richmond consider Mr. Peters a martyr and have informally renamed the traffic circle around the Lee statue on

suspect, only learned of Mr. Peters mental condition, the report noted, when Mr. Peters stopped his car in the grass next to the Belvidere Street entry ramp to Interstate 95 after hitting two other cars.

According to reports, Mr. Peters was naked and climbed out of his car through the window and ran onto the interstate. Officer Nyantakyi fired his gun after the naked and unarmed man ultimately charged him after a Taser shot did not incapacitate him.

Interstate 64/664 Corridor Improvement Plan – Round Two You are invited to view an enhanced project website to learn about the Interstate 64/664 Corridor Study and provide input on potential targeted safety and congestion solutions The Commonwealth Transportation Board, with support from the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, is developing an I-64/664 Corridor Improvement Plan. The plan will be developed as part of a data-driven study to (i) identify key problem areas along the corridor, and (ii) identify potential solutions and areas for additional review and study.

You are invited to provide additional input on the I-64/664 Corridor Improvement Plan online during the second in a series of online feedback opportunities for this plan. The purpose of this second round is to gather public input on safety and congestion improvement recommendations on the I-64 and I-664 corridors in the Commonwealth. The study team has updated the project information website to provide details about potential solutions to the problems identified during the first round of public input.

Comments will be received via a survey, found at va64corridor2.metroquest.com, that asks users a series of questions about their commuting habits and solicits information about their preferences among a host of potential solutions. Comments can also be submitted via email to: va64corridorplan@vdot.virginia.gov.

The project website is available at va64corridor.org. The comment period for the second round of feedback will be open through Nov. 21, 2020. Additional comment opportunities will be available throughout the study.

Accelerating our commitment to affordable housing There’s a shortage of affordable housing in America, especially in communities of color. The impact of this health and humanitarian crisis has intensified the need for increased action.

As part of our commitment to invest $1 billion over four years to advance racial equality and economic opportunity, Bank of America is accelerating our investment in development in neighborhoods of color — including right here in Richmond. We’re working side by side with nonprofits and community leaders to help revitalize neighborhoods, expanding on work we’ve had underway for many years.

My teammates and I remain committed to addressing Richmond’s affordable housing gap and helping build the community in which we live and work.

Victor Branch Richmond Market President

Veterans Day We take this moment to salute our nation’s veterans, the men and women who committed themselves to our nation’s defense — and to our liberty — through service in the Armed Forces.

According to the most recent Census Bureau figures, there are 17.4 million veterans in the United States. Add to that the impact of their years of military service on their families, including their spouses, children, parents and other loved ones, through deployments to such hot spots as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, South Korea, Japan and, years ago, Vietnam, as well as their assignments and reassignments to bases around the country and the globe, and it is clear that their service, their sacrifice has affected millions of others.

Black people and people of color have been a key part of the effort to protect this nation, even before there was an official United States of America. Black people fought in the Revolutionary War to give independence to others while we, ourselves, were not free. Black people also fought and died in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War and Vietnam to preserve the liberties and freedoms enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution that we, ourselves, were denied the right to enjoy.

Their dedication to a cause greater than themselves — that has paved and protected the path for us today — should be recognized and held in high esteem.

Today, if we want to honor our veterans for their valor, duty and commitment to our nation, we must ensure that they not only receive the respect they deserve for putting their lives on the line, but that they receive the necessary health care, mental health services, job training and housing assistance to keep them and their families healthy and whole after they transition from active duty to civilian status.

Statistics offer a dreary picture of what’s happening today.

Veterans are overrepresented in populations struggling with homelessness, suicide, post-traumatic stress and addiction.

About 45 percent of all homeless veterans are African-American or Latino, despite accounting for 10.4 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, of the U.S. veteran population, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.

More than a million more veterans are considered at risk for becoming homeless because of poverty and a lack of support.

In the Nov. 3 election, Virginia voters overwhelmingly supported a state constitutional amendment that would exempt from state and local taxes a vehicle owned and used primarily by or for a military veteran who is permanently and totally disabled from a service-connected injury.

While the change will grant a small amount of relief to some of our veterans, our support must go much wider and deeper. We must push for legislative and policy initiatives in the areas of homelessness, addiction treatment, mental health services and affordable housing that will have a greater impact in helping veterans. By pushing for the resources veterans need, we help to lift our community in a way that benefits all of us — just like their service benefited all of us.

Thanking veterans for their service is the least we can do, but taking action to help them and their families is far better.

Remain vigilant Our concern about the growing spike in COVID-19 cases nationally was heightened by reports this week of the local spread of the coronavirus stemming from the election.

It seems outbreaks connected with the voter registrar’s offices in Richmond and Henrico have impacted a number of people, including Mayor Levar M. Stoney and members of his campaign staff, his mayoral opponent Alexsis E. Rodgers and others. They, along with 90 percent of the workers in city Registrar Kirk Showalter’s office, are now in quarantine because of contact with someone who was infected with the virus.

We hope those who have tested positive and those who are in quarantine will be well and safe.

It is a reminder to all of us that we need to continue to be on guard against COVID-19, a potentially fatal virus that has stricken more than 10 million people across the country — 1 million in the past week alone — and caused roughly 240,000 deaths.

In Virginia, the number of new coronavirus cases has exceeded 1,000 daily for the last two weeks, with 1,594 new cases reported in the 24 hours from Tuesday to Wednesday.

In Richmond, we have seen 388 new cases since last week, while the number of cases in Henrico is up by 298 since last week.

More than 13,200 hospitalizations have occurred in Virginia, along with 3,741 deaths, according to the state Department of Health.

We must be mindful of these numbers because the AfricanAmerican and Latino communities continue to be disproportionately impacted both by the number of cases and deaths.

We also must remain vigilant because Thanksgiving is coming, a time we are used to sharing a holiday meal with and enjoying the company of family and loved ones. While that closeness brings comfort and joy during these rocky, uneven times, we must keep our guard up to protect ourselves from getting or spreading COVID-19.

For anyone planning to host or attend a holiday gathering, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reminds us to wear a mask, even indoors, and keep 6 feet away from others — including family members — who do not live with you.

The experts offer additional guidance: If hosting a holiday gathering, limit the number of guests and try to hold it outdoors. If indoors, open windows and have family bring their own food, drinks, and disposable plates, cups and utensils. If sharing food, have one person serve it and use single-use condiment and salad dressing packets.

Limit the number of people in the kitchen or other food preparation areas. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and items between use. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and keep hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol available for use.

Make sure any activities, sports or games allow people to remain socially distanced.

Planning and talking with those closest to us will help us weather the storm.

Roll up sleeves and get to work It took five days for the 2020 election to be called for former Vice President Joe Biden.

Five days with me peeled to the television and the internet.

Five days holding my breath.

Five days, meditating and praying for strength.

I could not imagine four more years of Trump. I actually started going through my belongings trying to decide what would make the cut for my move to Ghana. Yes, if he had won, I was seriously considering a transcontinental move.

At 11:34 on Saturday morning, the good news trickled down. Joe Biden won. Kamala Harris is Madame Vice President, or MVP. People were sending funny and smart text messages. From one friend: “Ladies keep your shoes on, there is glass on the floor. Exhale. Savor the feeling.”

Kamala’s win is a “dancing in the street” victory for Black women, for all women, for our nation.

From Psalm 30:5 — “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”

Well, on Nov. 7, joy came in the morning, the afternoon and the evening. All around the country, people celebrated. Some of us were buoyed by the celebrations, especially their intergenerational, multicultural, masked participation.

But as horns honked, people hollered and crowds hoisted “You’re fired” signs outside the White House, some of us

Julianne Malveaux wondered how much change, exactly, we could expect from Biden-Harris.

Inhale. Inhale the fact that Donald John Trump was an extreme symptom, but not the cause, of the structural inequities that plague our nation.

Inhale the fact that all the executive orders in the world can’t fix the racism that is baked in the cake we call the United States.

Inhale their names, the disturbing roll of Black folks killed by white so-called “law enforcement” officers.

Inhale the macro and micro aggressions that impact our lives.

I will not be pessimistic in this optimistic moment, nor will I ignore the amazing history we experienced in this election. I will simply say, as I often do,

that voting is not the most, but the least we can do.

This election reminds us that Black Votes Matter, that turnout matters, that, in the words of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, “The hands that picked peaches can pick presidents.”

There was no blue wave; this was a scrappy contest, with margins in some cases of less than 1 percent. There was no takeover of the Senate (yet), and Democrats lost seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. And more than 70 million people affirmed Donald Trump, which reveals the stark division in our nation.

Exhale relief. Inhale recognition. And then just roll your sleeves up and get to work.

Yes, there is much work to do. There are two elections for U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. They’ll be decided on Jan. 5. And if Democrats can win both, President-elect Biden will have the Senate he needs to make policy changes.

Meanwhile, 45 has 70 days to wreak havoc on our nation. He can randomly fire folks, mismanage agencies more than he already has and develop harmful executive orders. As of this writing, he has yet to concede the election, even though he has no possible chance of winning. His refusal to smell the coffee slows the transition

COVID-19 defeated Trump First, I must admit that my prediction of a Donald J. Trump victory in the 2020 presidential election was wrong.

I strongly believed that Democrat Joe Biden’s selection of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate would be the major factor in a Trump victory. This was based on my position that there was no way white women would support a woman of color achieving that historical first.

What I didn’t count on was the extent of President Trump’s mishandling of the COVID-19 public health crisis. I didn’t expect him to be so dense as to host a celebration of the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, an event that led to numerous prominent attendees including President Trump, his wife and his young son to later test positive for COVID-19.

I am convinced, along with Bob Woodward’s revelation in his book, “Rage,” that as early as Feb. 9, 2020, President Trump was well aware of the public

health danger of the coronavirus. That was the major factor in his defeat.

Despite these two concrete examples and the fact that some 7 million white people throughout the country had tested positive for the virus

by Election Day, President Trump kept downplaying its seriousness. That, I strongly believe, is what finally convinced a majority of suburban white women and some white

A. Peter Bailey men that it was very crucial to have someone in the White House who was committed to doing whatever is necessary to combat COVID-19.

So, while probably holding their noses, they voted for Joe Biden and his woman of color running mate, who now becomes the first woman vice president-elect of the United States.

Before slapping too many high fives, shouting too many hallelujahs and dancing too long in the streets, it is extremely important for us as Black folks to note that despite President Trump’s massive character flaws; his tax evasion allegations; his being seen and heard

on television saying that it’s cool to grope a woman; his ongoing connection with Russian President Vladimir Putin; his me, myself and I narcissism; his obvious misogynistic reaction when dealing with female journalists and politicians; his flagrant disdain for immigrants to this country who are not of European descent; his lack of candor about the COVID-19 threat; etc., more than 70 million people in this country voted for him. This convinces me that had it not been for the virus, he would have been re-elected.

While President Trump may have been voted out of office, Trumpism is very much alive and well. We had better be united and ready to promote and protect our economic, cultural and political interests.

I suggest that one thing serious Black people need to do is to study Chancellor Williams’ book, “The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.” and act on chapters 14, “Organizing a Race for Action,” and 15, “The Shape of Things to Come: A Master Plan.”

process, but since this is about him, not about our nation, he really doesn’t care.

Yes, we have work to do. We need to roll up our sleeves and get to it. Civic engagement is not a seasonal thing; it’s an all the time thing. We get the government that we choose to participate in.

So kudos to the folks like Melanie Campbell of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, LaTosha Brown of Black Voters Matter, Stacey Abrams of Fair Fight and the many others who raised awareness, got the vote out and then protected it. Inhale. Exhale. Get to work!

Letters to the Editor

Thank you, Black voters As a student of the Constitution, I have had an appreciation of the true magnitude of the recent threat to America.

For the past four years, America faced a greater threat to the promises and ideals of the Declaration of Independence than ever before.

The Japanese at Pearl Harbor and alQaida on 9/11 cared not one iota as to your fundamental rights. They posed no challenge to your right to vote or to equal protection under the law.

But if you are one of those Americans whose rights had been established or protected by a U.S. Supreme Court case — minorities, women, gays, lesbians, trans citizens, immigrants, to name a few — then your rights have been under attack during the past four years.

On Election Day, American voters came to the defense of those rights.

But if any one group can be pointed to as the heroes of this democracy, it is Black voters. Ninety percent of Black voters supported Democrat Joe Biden, according to The Associated Press. They powered Mr. Biden to victory in the presidential election.

Black voters had our backs.

All who voted to protect the rights of all Americans should be viewed as heroes, but Black women in particular.

If you see a Black voter today, give that person an appreciative nod and thanks.

DAVID P. BAUGH Richmond

Some things are not deal-breakers

The drama, stress and tension that unfolded during this election have revealed an America that we have never seen before.

Actually, the four years of the Trump administration has been like a bad soap opera that you are afraid to turn away from because you don’t know what you may need to be prepared for.

If nothing else, we have learned when a person tells you and shows you who they are, you better believe them.

When Donald Trump told us he could shoot someone and get away with it, he was telling us how invincible he believed he was. He also knew

Former offenders need a fair chance at employment

he could get away with just about anything and would still have supporters.

Donald Trump also talked about how there were good people on both sides during the conflict in Charlottesville that resulted in the killing of Heather Heyer by an avowed white nationalist. President Trump didn’t denounce white supremacy and the supremacists embraced him even more.

More than 19 women have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, but nothing has resulted from their accusations. His support among white females in the 2016 election was 53 percent. In the 2020 election, the support of white women for President Trump was even higher at around 57 percent, according to early analysis.

We watched the video of George Floyd being brutally murdered by police in Minneapolis. Other African-Americans have been killed by police this year as well. President Trump commented on how great the police are, but he never talked about how to resolve this.

He and his administration offered no expression of support to the Black Lives Matter movement, yet the Black vote for President Trump was up about 4 percent from 2016.

Immigrants were put in cages, others deported and more than 500 immigrant children may never be returned to their parents. Yet 1 in 4 immigrants supported President Trump, according to reports.

At the end of the day, some things are not deal-breakers for some people. They will support someone like Donald Trump for their own agenda.

For decades, employment after incarceration has been a growing debate. While prison is used to prepare/rehabilitate offenders before re-entering society, offenders are confronted with arbitrary and ambiguous bureaucratic policies that create insurmountable odds to obtain occupational licenses and employment after incarceration.

Most states have restrictions to the types of jobs felons can have even when they have received post-secondary education and training.

National Institute of Justice statistics show that within three years of release, about two- PATRICIA BROWN thirds of released prisoners are re-arrested; North Chesterfield within five years, about three quarters of released prisoners are re-arrested.

The question becomes: When does an offender actually NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY pay for his or her crimes?

Not for timid or dainty, River City Sting looking for a few good women for tackle football

More conservative types tend to prefer the comfort, safety and predictability of the same ol’, same ol’. They’re creatures of habit.

But others opt to take a walk on the wild side.

For the far more adventurous, there is the fledgling River City Sting women’s full tackle football team.

Not for the timid and dainty, this women’s team is more powerhouse than powderpuff.

“It’s for those itching to do something different,” said C.J. James, the team’s owner/president/running back/slot receiver.

The Sting is practicing and conducting tryouts now and plans to begin its inaugural season in early spring 2021.

There is no set list of qualifications for players.

“We’ll take ’em all shapes and sizes. It’s for women wanting to be different and to have a good time,” James added.

Experience is preferred, but not required.

“If you’ve never played, that’s OK. We’ll teach you what you need to know,” James said.

Let’s take a peek into the Sting huddle.

Come one, come all: The team is conducting open tryouts on Saturday, Nov. 14 and Nov. 21, at Montrose Elementary School, 2820 Williamsburg Road, in Eastern Henrico. There is a onetime, $20 tryout fee. Tryouts are from 10 a.m. to noon.

Colors: The River City Sting players wear black and teal – “The Real Deal of Teal.”

Mascot: The scorpion.

Rules: Same as men’s football.

Conference: United States Women’s Football League. Other affiliates — Fayetteville, N.C., Ducks; Hampton Roads HERricanes; Tri-Cities Thunder in Tennessee; Hampton Vipers; West Virginia Tyrants; Memphis Legacy; and the Virginia Venom (Alexandria).

Home sweet home: Undecided, but James is hoping for a location in the East End. “Varina (High School) would be nice,” she said.

When is kickoff? League play, postponed this fall because of the pandemic, likely will commence in March. The team will practice through the winter.

Early indicator: In November 2019, the River City Sting

traveled to Nashville, Tenn., where it played a scoreless, tie exhibition game against the established Tri-Cities Thunder.

Getting the word out: The Sting advertises on Facebook, Instagram and through its own website, rivercitysting.com.

Also, Sting members have set up booths at various local events, such as Virginia Commonwealth University women’s basketball games.

At 7-foot-1, Medley-Bacon expected to top off VCU success Virginia Commonwealth University won’t have to wait as long as it had expected for its next 7-foot-tall player.

Brendan Medley-Bacon has received a waiver from the NCAA and will be eligible to play basketball this season.

The 7-foot-1, 240-pound MedleyBacon will have two seasons of eligibility after transferring from MEAC-affiliate Coppin State University in Baltimore.

Originally, it was believed MedleyBacon would have to sit out this season before becoming eligible in 2021-22.

Rams fans are hopeful the Baltimore native will enBrendan joy as much success Medley-Bacon wearing the black and gold as two previous big men with hyphenated last names.

Mo Alie-Cox was a dominant performer on the low post from 2013 to 2017.

Next came Marcus Santos-Silva, who was a standout center from 2017 to 2020 before transferring as a senior to Texas Tech.

Medley-Bacon was a third-team AllMEAC selection a year ago for Coppin State, averaging eight points, nine

rebounds and leading the conference in blocked shots with 2.1 per contest.

Also joining the Rams this season will be 6-foot-8 Kansas State University transfer Levi Stockard III, who will be a senior. Stockard hails from St. Louis.

There’s uplifting VCU news on the recruiting front, too. Coach Mike Rhoades has received a commitment from Jalen DeLoach, a 6-foot-9 resident of Savannah, Ga. DeLoach, who is expected to join the

Rams for the 2021-22 season, played this past season at Berkmar High School in Lilburn, Ga. Another Rams recruiting target is 6-foot-10 Roosevelt Wheeler, a senior at State 2A champion John Marshall High School in Richmond.

Wheeler, All-State as a junior, has whittled down his final five choices to VCU, Louisville, North Carolina State, Hampton and Louisiana State, which is coached by former Rams Coach Will Wade.

The Rams had many holes to fill after last season’s 18-13 squad. VCU Levi lost five front-line Stockard III seniors—Marcus Evans, De’Riante Jenkins, Issac Vann, Malik Crowfield and Mike’l Simms. And Santos-Silva transferred.

The Rams will be tested early. Although plans are incomplete, it appears VCU will travel to Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 25 through 27 to play the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and the host, the University of Tennessee Volunteers.

VCU has a Dec. 22 date in Baton Rouge, La., against Coach Wade’s LSU Tigers of the Southeastern Conference.

Shedeur Sanders headed to Jackson State to play ball for famous dad Deion Now there are two Sanders to watch at Jackson State University in Mississippi.

Shedeur Sanders, an 18-year-old high school senior, has committed to the SWAC school to play football for his father, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, the newly named head coach.

A 6-foot-2, 200-pound quarterback, Shedeur originally committed to play at Florida Atlantic University but changed his mind when his dad got the Jackson State gig.

Sanders and Shedeur already have a close

Shedeur Sanders

father-son relationship on the gridiron. For the past three seasons, Sanders has served as offensive coordinator at Shedeur’s high school, Trinity Christian School in Cedar Hill, Texas.

During that time, Shedeur passed for 8,935 yards and 123 touchdowns, while also rushing for 198 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Shedeur is the No. 60 rated player in the 2021 ESPN 300 prep rankings. He becomes the highest rated player in ESPN 300 annals to choose to attend an HBCU.

Coach Sanders

James Gang: The idea for the team was hatched by James, a former Henrico High School athlete who played club basketball at the University of Virginia.

James is among those who played tackle football previously for the Richmond Black Widows team established in 2015. The Black Widows are separate from the River City Sting and compete in a different conference, the Women’s Football Alliance.

The Sam Man: Head coach Saroun Sam, a man, comes to the Sting with solid credentials. Previously, he helped coach the Richmond Black Widows to three championships.

No age limits: “We’ve got ’em 16 to 47,” said James. “Some tough women out here.”

QB: No. 1 on the Sting depth chart is Bailey Lien, a former Hanover High School and Christopher Newport University athlete. Lien set several records as the field hockey goalkeeper at CNU, where she also played lacrosse.

A senior associate in process management at Capital One, Lien grew up watching football on television with her father.

“Who wouldn’t want to be the quarterback?” she said of her chosen position.

Don’t be shy: The team’s roster is incomplete. James has room for more than 30 women looking to veer off the beaten path and follow the signpost pointing to “The Wild Side.”

Liberty University beats Virginia Tech with last-second field goal There’s a new pecking order in Virginia college football.

At least for now, the road to “Virginia’s Finest” travels through — not Blacksburg, not Charlottesville — but Lynchburg.

The Liberty University Flames defeated Virginia Tech 38-35 last Saturday at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, improving to 7-0 — 2-0 against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents counting the team’s win at Syracuse — and gathering more momentum for national rankings and respect.

Liberty was ranked No. 25 by The Associated Press before the game.

Liberty beat Virginia Tech in true Hollywood fashion — on a 51-yard field goal

by Alex Barbir with one second left in the game. It was the longest kick of Barbir’s career.

The victory was no fluke.

Malik Willis Spurred by quicksilver quarterback Malik Willis, Liberty racked up 29 first downs, 466 total offense yards and was forced to punt just twice.

Willis, a transfer from Auburn University, ran 19 times for 108 yards and passed for 217 yards on 20-for-30 accuracy with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Liberty’s “Look at me!” spotlight season continues Saturday, Nov. 14, with a noon kickoff in Lynchburg against Western Carolina University. Liberty has won 10 straight games at Williams Stadium on its campus and is heavily favored in the matchup against Western Carolina.

On Saturday, Nov. 21, the Flames travel to Raleigh, N.C., for a crack at another ACC opponent, North Carolina State University.

Liberty has won 12 straight games — seven this season and five to end the 2019 campaign.

Personality: Chris L. Booker-Carlisle Spotlight on president of Richmond Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Chris L. Booker-Carlisle assumed the role of president of the Richmond Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Inc. in May 2019, taking on a new position in an organization she’d been a part of for 19 years.

One year later and halfway through her term, she’s leading the nonprofit through new challenges and initiatives during its 70th year of operation. And to hear her tell it, there’s nowhere she’d rather be.

“I love the wonderful women in our organization. The mothers in our chapter are all hard-working and accomplished women,” says Mrs. Booker-Carlisle.

She balances presidential duties, such as coordination with other chapters, monthly meetings and mentorship activities, while serving on the organization’s Regional Membership Committee and the National Strategic Planning Committee as the representative for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Started in 1938 in Philadelphia by Marion Stubbs Thomas, Jack and Jill of America is dedicated to its founding mission of providing educational, cultural, civic, health, recreational and social programs for AfricanAmerican youngsters ages 2 to 19.

The Richmond Chapter of Jack and Jill, started in 1950 by 14 mothers, has 67 mother members who plan activities for their combined more than 150 teens and children. The activities are centered around leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving and civic duty, Ms. Booker-Carlisle says.

Their efforts, like the efforts of other groups, have hit stumbling blocks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While members have been able to hold virtual programs and a few outdoor, in-person activities, in-person gatherings have been reduced. This has forced the organization to seek alternative methods to continue its work, particularly during this election year, when the focus was placed largely on voting.

The chapter participated in a national campaign to register voters.

Even during the pandemic, Mrs. Booker-Carlisle says, “we are continuing to work with our children and educate them on the importance of giving back to their community, philanthropic giving and civic duty.”

In recognition of its 70th anniversary, the Richmond chapter is hosting a virtual fundraising campaign, “70 Days of Giving for 7 Richmond Area Nonprofits.” The campaign aims to raise $70,000 through Dec. 19 to benefit ART 180, NVA STEM, SwimRVA, Hands on Greater Richmond, The Hilliard House, the Northside Family YMCA and Happily Natural, all organizations that provide services and opportunities to young people around the Metro Area.

These kinds of efforts seem to be a priority for Mrs. BookerCarlisle, whose membership in Jack and Jill is set to end in the next few years when her youngest child, now 14, ages out of membership.

Mrs. Booker-Carlisle plans to stay with the organization as an associate member, but for now, she’s looking to leave a lasting impact with her tenure as the 36th president.

“I have 3½ years remaining in the chapter and would like to be an inspiration to our new mothers like many were for me,” Mrs. Booker-Carlisle says.

in their local communities to learn about specific membership guidelines and procedures.

How COVID19 is affecting mission: My theme for the year is “Sailing through Uncharted Waters ~ Connecting, Serving and Leading.” Unfortunately, we are unable to get together in person as much as we have in the past. We have been able to continue programming through virtual means and a few outdoor, in-person activities. We have enjoyed working in our community and inviting the public to our fundraising and community events. However, due to COVID-19, only Jack and Jill members are allowed to attend our in-person events.

We are continuing to work with our children and educate them on the importance of giving back to their community, philanthropic giving and civic duty.

We sponsored an event with Lt. Gov. Justin E. Fairfax and partnered with The Richmond Links Inc. to offer two different Zoom sessions on the importance of every vote.

Happenings Whitney Houston, Notorious B.I.G. among inductees into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Free Press wire report

NEW YORK In a normal year, the newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class would have hit the stage to perform the well-known songs that made them famous and helped them enter the prestigious organization.

Not in 2020.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s all-star group was inducted last Saturday night in a taped HBO special that told the stories of the late Whitney Houston, the late Notorious B.I.G. and the Doobie Brothers’ rise to fame and how acts like Nine Inch Nails, T. Rex and Depeche Mode heavily impacted the music industry and generations after them.

As she inducted Ms. Houston into the Rock Hall, Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys gave a beautiful, heartfelt speech about one of the best singers in pop history.

“We all know what a miraculous singer Whitney was, perhaps the greatest voice of all time. We all know how her unprecedented success brought Black women into the absolute highest reaches of the music industry’s pantheon,” said Ms. Keys, who wrote a song for Ms. Houston’s last album.

“We all know that her music will live forever — that music, that everlasting voice is her final generous gift to us. And she will now be one of the brightest lights ever to shine in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

Ms. Houston, one of the best-selling acts in music history who died in

Whitney Houston

2012 at age 48, released her debut album in 1985 and recently became the first Black artist to have three diamond-certified albums.

Her mother and aunt, Cissy and Pat Houston, accepted the award on her behalf.

“This is something that Whitney always wanted,” Pat Houston said.

“I remember in 2009 we were in London, and Whitney looked at me and said, ‘This is really special but there’s only one thing missing — I got to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.’”

“She did it,” Cissy Houston added.

Other acts were posthumously inducted Saturday night.

The Notorious B.I.G. was shot to death in 1997 at 24 and in a few years became one of the top voices in rap and pop. He was inducted by close friend and collaborator Diddy.

“Nobody has come close to the way Biggie sounds, to the way he raps, to the frequency that he hits. Tonight, we are inducting the greatest rapper

of all-time,” Diddy said.

Nas said B.I.G. “represents BedStuy, Brooklyn, New York City, America, the world and he represents the Black experience.” Jay-Z recalled when B.I.G. sent him a demo of “Life After Death,” his second and final album that was released 16 days after his death, explaining: “I was a little worried for myself as an artist.”

“It’s just really unfortunate what happened after that,” continued Jay-Z. “The human side of him came through in his music and I think it moved the molecules in the world. I know for a fact it pointed me in the (right) direction and I’m sure that’s happened to millions and millions of people worldwide.”

The Notorious B.I.G.’s son and daughter, C.J. and T’yanna Wallace, accepted the honor.

The son of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan, who died in 1977 at 29, was also on hand to pay tribute to his father with a touching speech.

“As I reflect on this incredible honor of my dad and his band being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think about how I really didn’t have a chance to know him very well. He was taken away from all of us so early in his life,” Rolan Bolan said. “I discovered his music pretty much the same way you have — through my eyes and ears.”

The British band T. Rex was known primarily for its 1970s hit, “Bang a Gong (Get It On),” and, to a lesser extent, “Jeepster.” They were inducted

by Ringo Starr.

Notorious B.I.G.

T. Rex, Ms. Houston, B.I.G. and the Doobie Brothers were inducted after being on the ballot for the first time. The Doobie Brothers’ inclusion makes 2020 historic for the band — it’s also their 50th anniversary. The group known for hits like “Listen to the Music” and “Black Water” were supposed to celebrate this year with a tour featuring singer-songwriter Michael McDonald — who sang with the band starting in 1975 before beginning his own solo career — but it was postponed because of the pandemic.

“It seems unreal, but it’s been quite a trip and we aren’t done yet,” Tom Johnston said.

It’s also been a good year for Nine Inch Nails. Their induction into the Hall of Fame comes two months after Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won their first Emmy for their musical contributions to the hit HBO series “Watchmen.” Mr. Reznor and Mr. Ross are also Oscar and Grammy winners, only needing a Tony to enter

13th Annual InLight Richmond exhibition starts Nov.12

Model Railroad Show slated for Nov. 27-29 at Science Museum of Va.

The 1708 Gallery is again showcasing local light-based artwork across the city as part of its 13th annual InLight Richmond exhibition.

More than 20 artists and organizations will be featured in the exhibit that will run from 7 to 11 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, through Saturday, Nov. 14, and 7 to 10 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15.

All of the artwork will be in more than a dozen outdoor locations around Richmond, including the former Richmond Community Hospital on Overbrook Road near Virginia Union University’s campus, in Church Hill, through the Downtown Arts District, at the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge, on the Richmond Slave Trail and more.

A series of streaming and virtual projects also will be featured online at the 1708InLight.org website.

The year’s theme, “Safety and Accountability,” is inspired by community efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and protests against police brutality and for racial equality. The art, sculptures, video and performances will reflect the theme.

Sandra Sellars/Richmond Free Press

While InLight has taken place over two nights at a single location in past years, 1708 Gallery altered its plans because of the pandemic to safely provide the public art program.

The sites are outside, allowing for socially distanced viewing, and are spread out to encourage visitors not spend too much time at any one site.

Organizers also request that visitors wear face masks and maintain social distancing.

No food and drink trucks will be available, and organizers have suspended the Community Lantern Parade that typically kicks off the event.

Barrier-breaking golfer Lee Elder being honored by the Masters with scholarship Free Press wire report

AUGUSTA, Ga. In a year marked by racial injustice, Augusta National announced Monday it would honor Lee Elder with two scholarships in his name at Paine College and an honorary tee shot next year for the first Black player in the Masters.

“It’s mind-boggling every time I think about it,” said Mr. Elder, who made his barrier-breaking debut in 1975.

It was about time, according to Masters Chairman Fred Ridley, who said racial injustice and equality have been at the forefront of the nation this year.

“Our question was not so much what we can say, but what we can do,” Mr. Ridley said.

For some two decades, the Masters has provided scholarship money for Paine College, a private, HBCU in Augusta. The Lee Elder Scholarship will be endowed for one man and one woman on the golf team. The fact that Paine doesn’t have a women’s golf program was not a problem. Mr. Ridley said Augusta National would pay to start one.

Mr. Elder already was looking ahead to next April when he returns to the first tee, this time with a shot that doesn’t count toward a score, but is more meaningful to him than when he first played the tournament.

“That is one thing that’s going to be significant to me because 1975 was just an ordinary shot playing a golf tournament, even though it was the Masters,” Mr. Elder said. “It’s not as significant as this shot will be come April 8, 2021, because my heart and soul will be into this shot.”

The criteria have changed over the years at the Masters, and when the club began issuing invitations to PGA Tour winners, Mr. Elder qualified by winning the 1974 Pensacola Open. That made

the esteemed EGOT club.

Rick Rubin, Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Iovine, David Fincher, Mark Ronson and others spoke passionately about Nine Inch Nails’ influence on them and others.

“What a disoriented, strange year we find ourselves in. As I’ve been wrapping my head around Nine Inch Nails being welcomed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think I was most looking forward to the ceremony itself, where hopefully the whole camp, past and present, was going to get together and have a moment, and we’re all stuck in our little boxes here in our screens,” Mr. Reznor said.

“But even now music’s always been the thing that keeps me going.”

Oscar winner Charlize Theron inducted Depeche Mode, whose biggest influence came in the 1980s when their post-punk, synthesizerdominated music made the Brits a favorite of the goth subculture. Ms. Theron thanked the band “for being the soundtrack of my life.”

Dave Grohl, Bruce Springsteen, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani and Brad Paisley also made appearances during the TV special.

Top-notch music manager Irving Azoff and Jon Landau, who manages Mr. Springsteen, both earned the Ahmet Ertegun Award.

The Rock Hall’s annual induction ceremony originally was supposed to take place in May at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, the city where the rock museum is located.

Lee Elder stands on the first tee Nov. 9 at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga.

him eligible for the 1975 Masters. He missed the cut, though Mr. Ridley said the moment was historic because of the message it sent that “I belong.”

The connection to Paine College goes beyond it being an HBCU. Mr. Elder arrived in Augusta more than 45 years ago to much fanfare as the first Black competitor in a tournament that for four decades only included Black people as caddies or in catering.

Finding a place to eat dinner was difficult. Mr. Elder said that was more because he had some 15 people with him than “being segregated against.” Dr. Julius Scott, in his first year as president

of Paine College, handled the catering for Mr. Elder all week.

From that week, Mr. Elder began a relationship with the college.

“Look at old yearbooks and you’ll see pictures of him with the golf team,” said Dr. Cheryl Evans Jones, Paine College’s current president. “He has made a lot of contributions to the sport.”

Mr. Ridley said he did not know how much it would cost to start a women’s golf program at the college and that was irrelevant. He said Augusta National would pay for everything.

“The times I have visited, a lot of the ladies came out to watch the men play,” Mr. Elder said. “I heard quite a number of times, ‘Gee, I wish we had a team so we could play.’ By Augusta National making that decision, it’s now going to give them a chance to fulfill that dream of being able to come to college, get a four-year scholarship plus compete on the golf team.”

Next April, Mr. Elder will join Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player as the honorary starters at the Masters. Mr. Ridley referred to it as a “special moment in time,” suggesting it will be a one-time appearance as honorary starter.

Mr. Elder ended his career with four PGA Tour victories. He played five more times in the Masters, with his best finish a tie for 17th in 1979.

“To know that I would be hitting a shot off the first tee alongside the great Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, you have to think about where you’re at and what you’ve accomplished and why you’re there,” Mr. Elder said. “A young man from the ghetto of Dallas, Texas, man, you’ve achieved world fame. The whole world will be watching and looking.

“For the chairman to present me with that opportunity is something I’ll never forget. Never forget.”

The Science Museum of Virginia is hosting its 43rd Annual Model Railroad Show Friday, Nov. 27, through Sunday, Nov. 29, featuring six different train displays of scaled locomotives riding through intricate landscapes and miniature cities.

The displays were created by HO, O and N-scale model train enthusiasts from across Virginia.

“The Model Railroad Show is a nearly half century Virginia holiday tradition,” said Richard Conti, the museum’s chief wonder officer. “It was important to us to keep the tradition going, but to do so in the safest manner possible. Every change we’ve made to this year’s event is designed to help manage guest flow to create a safe and enjoyable event for families to create lasting memories.”

The Model Railroad Show is free with museum admission. Museum members and children age 2 and under are admitted free.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Mr. Conti attendees must purchase tickets in advance for timed entry to the museum. Timed entry tickets to the Model Railroad Show, which is being held in the Dewey Gottwald Center, will be issued for 30 minutes intervals.

A limited number of tickets are available for each time slot.

No walk-up tickets will be sold.

Entry times will begin at 9:30 a.m., with the last ticket time slot at 3:45 p.m. Museum members will be allowed earlier entry from 8 to 9:15 a.m.

All visitors age 5 and older are required to wear masks.

While at the museum, located at 2500 W. Broad St., visitors can enjoy the free planetarium shows offered in the Dome at 10 and 11:30 a.m., 1, 2:30 and 4 p.m. Seating for the planetarium shows is limited to 50 people per show on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Visitors also can help with a collaborative railroad scene and make a conductor hat in The Forge.

Steam engine demonstrations will be presented by museum educators around the building, and there will be a display of historical Broad Street Station items from the museum’s collection.

Visitors also can explore the museum’s exhibits “Speed,” “Boost!” and “Giant Insects.”

Museum admission is $15.50 for adults, $13.50 for youths and seniors and $10 for pre-schoolers. Discounts are available for military, teachers and EBT cardholders.

4 RPS teachers among 18 area winners of R.E.B. Awards Free Press staff report

Four Richmond Public Schools teachers are among 18 winners in the Metro Area of the 2020 R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence.

The winners receive cash grants for travel and study designed to renew their passion for teaching and to enhance their ability to bring subjects to life for their students.

Out of the four Richmond winners, three teach at schools in the East End, and two teachers, Gilbert Carter Jr. of Franklin Military Academy, and Ridgely Carter-Minter of Woodville Elementary School, are brother and sister.

The other two Richmond winners are Jonathan Metcalf of Franklin Military Academy and Arianna Trickey of Swansboro Elementary School.

The Community Foundation and the R.E.B. Foundation, which sponsor the awards, could not present the awards in a group setting because of the coronavirus pandemic. But that did not stop the RPS administration from making the awards a surprising and special day for the winning city educators.

RPS Superintendent Jason Kamras and Richmond School Board Vice Chair Cheryl Burke, 7th District, went to the homes of the winners on Nov. 4, knocked on their doors and presented them with flowers and the awards.

“It was similar to the commercial for the Publisher’s Clearinghouse award,” Ms. Burke said of the visits to surprise the winners.

Mr. Metcalf won $7,900 to immerse himself in the culture and history of the Basque region of Spain during a three-week bike trip. Ms. Trickey won $11,500 to explore and understand how endangered ecosystems across North America, and their inhabitants, adapt to environmental changes.

Mr. Carter won $7,800 to explore the cultural and mathematical foundations of domestic and international botanical gardens, while his sister, Ms. Carter-Minter, won $7,400 to explore the

origins of figurative expressions in Casablanca and Granada and incorporate those learnings in a self-published children’s book.

“Our district winners are in line with the expectation of our community,” said Ms. Burke, a retired principal of Chimborazo Elementary School. “There is more to come.”

The district Ms. Burke represents on the School Board includes the East End. Other winners, and their study projects, are: Henrico County Donna Kouri, Greenwood Elementary School: $11,900 — To learn, connect and apply independent sustainable living skills through the combination of basic hands-on skills and modern technology by participating in Folk Schools and visiting national parks.

Sarah Peña, Greenwood Elementary School: $11,700 — To foster global citizenship through experiences with art by exploring museums, model schools and multicultural traditions in Dubai, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.

Chesterfield County Brett Chonko, Clover High School : $12,000 — To improve his knowledge and proficiency of the Spanish language by visiting regions of Argentina and Caribbean that feature difficult, distinct Spanish dialects.

Keenan Entsminger, James River High School: $12,000 — To trace the footsteps of the 246th Coastal Artillery Unit from the mountains of Virginia to the Islands of the Pacific.

Alexander Godschalk, Old Hundred Elementary School:

$11,300 — To explore early forms of theatre by studying Commedia dell’arte and mask-making in Florence, Italy, and by engaging in Shakespearean theatre in England and Virginia.

Pamela Rockenbach Plahs, Swift Creek Middle School: $8,300 — To gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and to explore the courageous decisions the “Righteous Among the Nations” made to help rescue Jews by traveling to historic sites in Europe.

Alex Trebek remembered for grace that elevated him above TV host Free Press wire report

LOS ANGELES Alex Trebek never pretended to have all the answers, but the “Jeopardy!” host became an inspiration and solace to Americans who otherwise are at odds with each other.

He looked and sounded the part of a senior statesman, impeccably suited and groomed and with an authoritative voice any politician would covet. He commanded his turf — the quiz show’s stage — but refused to overshadow its brainy contestants.

And when he faced the challenge of pancreatic cancer, which claimed his life Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020, at age 80, he was honest, optimistic and graceful.

Mr. Trebek died at his Los Angeles home, surrounded by family and friends, according to “Jeopardy!” studio Sony.

The Canadian-born host made a point of informing fans about his health directly, in a series of brief online videos. He faced the camera and spoke in a calm, even tone as he revealed his illness and hope for a cure in the first message, posted in March 2019.

“Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this and I’m going to keep working,” Mr. Trebek said, even managing a wisecrack: He had to beat the disease because his “Jeopardy!” contract had three more years to run.

Mr. Trebek’s death came less

than four months after that of he appeared on last Friday’s civil rights leader and U.S. Rep. show, Mr. Thakur recounted John Lewis of Georgia, also of learning English diction as advanced pancreatic cancer and a child from watching Mr. at age 80. Mr. Trebek offered Trebek on “Jeopardy!” with Rep. Lewis words of encour- his grandfather. agement last January.

Mr. Trebek, who became “Alex wasn’t just the best the show’s host in 1984, was a ever at what he did. He was master of the format, engaging in also a lovely and deeply decent friendly banter with contestants, man, and I’m grateful for every appearing genuinely pleased minute I got to spend with him,” when they answered correctly tweeted “Jeopardy!” champion and, at the same time, movKen Jennings. “Thinking today ing the game along in a brisk, about his family and his Jeop- no-nonsense fashion whenever ardy! family—which, in a way, people struggled for answers. included millions of us.”

suggested to him one day that he create a game show where people were given the answers.

“Jeopardy!” debuted on NBC in 1964 with Art Fleming as emcee and was an immediate hit. It lasted until 1975, then was revived in syndication with Mr. Trebek.

Long identified by a full head of hair and trim mustache (though in 2001 he startled viewers by shaving his mustache, “completely on a whim”), Mr. Trebek was more than qualified for the job, having started his game show career on “Reach for the Top” in Canada.

Moving to the United States in 1973, he appeared on “The Wizard of Odds,” “High Rollers,” “The $128,000 Question” and “Double Dare.” Even during his run on “Jeopardy!”, Mr. Trebek worked on other shows.

In the early 1990s, he was the host of three shows, “Jeopardy!”, “To Tell the Truth” and “Classic Concentration.”

“Jeopardy!” made him famous. He won five Emmys as its host, including one last June, and received stars on both the Hollywood and Canadian walks of fame. In 2012, the show won a prestigious Peabody Award.

He taped his daily “Jeopardy!” shows at a frenetic pace, recording as many as 10 episodes — two weeks’ worth — in just two days. After what was described as a mild heart attack in 2007, he was back at work in just a month.

He posted a video in January 2018 announcing he’d undergone surgery for blood clots on the brain that followed a fall he’d taken. The show was on hiatus during his recovery.

It had yet to bring in a substitute host for Mr. Trebek—save once, when he and “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak swapped their TV jobs as an April’s Fool prank.

Although many viewers considered him one of the key reasons for the show’s success, Mr. Trebek insisted he was only there to keep things moving.

“My job is to provide the atmosphere and assistance to the contestants to get them to perform at their very best,” he said in a 2012 interview.

“And if I’m successful doing that, I will be perceived as a nice guy and the audience will think of me as being a bit of a star. But not if I try to steal the limelight!”

Prayers, fireworks as Indians celebrate Kamala Harris’ win

By Aijaz Rahi Associated Press

THULASENDRAPURAM, India Waking up to the news of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris’ election as vice president, overjoyed people in her Indian grandfather’s hometown set off firecrackers and offered prayers last Sunday.

Groups gathered at street corners in Thulasendrapuram, a tiny village of 350 people, reading newspapers and chatting about Joe Biden and Sen. Harris’ victory before moving to a temple.

A woman wrote in color powder outside her home: “Congratulations Kamala Harris. Pride of our village. Vanakkam (Greetings) America.�

Most of them had gone to sleep by the time Mr. Biden clinched the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes, making Sen. Harris the first woman and the first person of African-American and South Asian descent to be elected vice president. “For two or three days we kept our fingers crossed while the

result was delayed,� said village resident Kalidas Vamdayar. “Now it’s a joyful moment for us. We are enjoying it.� “We will celebrate with firecrackers, distributing Indian sweets to people and praying in the temple,� Mr. Vamdayar said. “We will request her to come here. She would have heard our voice and she may come.�

Tamil Nadu state Food Minister R. Kamraj led about 100 people at the Dharma Sastha temple for a 20-minute prayer during which the idol of Hindu deity Ayyanar, a form of Lord Shiva, was washed with milk and decked with flowers by the priest. He chanted hymns after lighting oil lamps, and the villagers bowed their heads in respect. “Kamala Harris is the daughter of our village,� said Aulmozhi Sudhakar, a village councilor. “From children to senior citizens, each one of us is awaiting the day she will take the oath as the vice president of the U.S.�

There was more singing, dancing and firecrackers throughout

Rev. Warnock locked in battle for U.S. Senate seat

Religion News Service

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, the 51-year-old pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, the historic church once co-pastored by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is running as a Democrat for U.S. Senate in a special election in Georgia.

He will face Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the Republican incumbent, in a runoff to be decided Jan. 5. If elected, Rev. Warnock, would be the first Black U.S. senator in Georgia’s history.

He has positioned himself as an heir to the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a fellow minister and fellow Georgian. “If you need somebody who, in honor of John Lewis, will pass voting rights in the Senate so that every voice is heard,�

Rev. Warnock said in a speech on election night, Nov. 3, “if you need a voice crying out in the wilderness of Washington, here am I, send me.�

He could face an uphill battle in a state that has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since Sen. Zell Miller won in 2000.

In the nonpartisan primary, Rev. Warnock finished Election Day in first place according to The Associated Press, but he benefited from the presence of third place finisher Doug Collins, a conservative Republican congressman, who likely denied Sen. Loeffler an outright win. The incumbent is now almost sure to inherit much of Mr. Collins’ support.

Sen. Loeffler, who was appointed a year ago to serve out the term of Sen. Johnny Isakson, who retired due to ill health, had been fighting accusations that she sold stock after a private Senate briefing on the coronavirus in late January, before many investors knew the full scope of the pandemic.

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, speaks Nov. 3 during a rally in Atlanta.

The 11th of 12 children in his family, all brought up in public housing in Savannah, Ga., Rev. Warnock has focused his campaign on issues that affect poor and minority citizens in the state. He has championed the expansion of health care coverage and a living wage.

As pastor of Ebenezer, he has partnered with interfaith leaders on an initiative demanding an end to mass incarceration in a country that disproportionately imprisons Black Americans. At a rally in Atlanta on

Nov. 2, the day before Election Day, Rev. Warnock expressed confidence in his ability to rise to the top of the runoff contest, even though his name, alphabetically, was near the bottom of the list. “I’m near the bottom, but that’s all right, because that’s where I was born,� he said. “I was born near the bottom, yet I’m standing on this stage, running for the United States Senate. It is a testament to the promise of America and the grace of an almighty God.�

the day in the village, where cutouts and posters wishing Sen. Harris a “grand success� adorned walls.

People congregated in groups of 30 to 40 exchanging sweets, delicacies and snacks at different spots. They seemed to be celebrating Diwali, the most popular Hindu festival of lights, a week ahead of time.

Young children carrying placards with photos of Sen. Harris ran around the village. Several politicians from nearby districts visited the village with their supporters, meeting local residents and visiting the temple. Musicians played wind and string instruments with cymbals and drums.

J. Sudhakar, who organized prayers on Election Day, expressed his wish that Sen. Harris will visit. As Americans voted, around 50 residents, with folded hands, lined up in the temple that reverberated with the sound of ringing bells, and a Hindu priest gave them sweets and flowers as a religious offering.

Women in the village, which is located 215 miles from the southern coastal city of Chennai, used bright colors to write “We Wish Kamala Harris Wins� on the ground, alongside a thumbs-up sign.

The lush green village is the hometown of Sen. Harris’ maternal grandfather, who moved to Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu state, decades ago.

Inside the temple where people have been holding special prayers, Sen. Harris’ name is sculpted into a stone that lists public donations made to the temple in 2014, along with that of her grandfather who gave money decades ago.

Sen. Harris’ late mother also was born in India, then moved to the United States at the age of 19 to study at the University of California. She married a Jamaican man, and they named their daughter Kamala, Sanskrit for “lotus flower.�

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Sen. Harris’ success as path-breaking, and a matter of immense pride, not just for her relatives but also for all Indian-Americans. “I am confident that the vibrant India-U.S. ties will get even stronger with your support and leadership,� the prime minister tweeted.

There has been both excitement—and some concern—over Mr. Biden’s choice of Sen. Harris as his running mate. Prime Minister Modi had invested in President Trump, who visited India in February. Mr. Modi’s many Hindu nationalist supporters also were upset with Sen. Harris when she expressed concern about the divided Himalayan region of Kashmir, whose statehood India’s government revoked in August last year.

Sen. Harris stood by Pramila Jayapal, another U.S. congresswoman of Indian origin, when Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar refused to attend a meeting in the United States over her participation last year. Rep. Jayapal had earlier moved a resolution on the Kashmir issue critical of India in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Rights groups accuse India of human rights violations in Indian-controlled Kashmir, where insurgent groups have been fighting for independence or merger with neighboring Pakistan since 1989.
