Indicted Former Trump campaign chairman and deputy face conspiracy, money laundering charges Free Press staff, wire report

President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and his former deputy, Rick Gates of Richmond, were indicted in federal court on Monday in a sharp escalation of U.S. Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s five-month-old investigation into alleged Russian efforts to tilt the 2016 election in President Trump’s favor and into potential collusion by his aides.

Mr. Mueller announced the charges against Mr. Manafort, 68, and Mr. Gates, 45, and that a third Trump adviser, George Papadopoulos, pleaded guilty in early October to lying to the FBI about meetings with Russian intermediaries.

The indictment lays out 12 counts against Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates, including conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, Please turn to A4

Now it’s up to the voters.

Tuesday, Nov. 7, is Election Day — when ordinary citizens will troop to polls in Richmond and across Virginia to decide who will become the commonwealth’s 73rd governor and succeed the current chief executive, Democrat Terry McAuliffe.

Endorsements on A8 The main choices: Democrat Ralph S. Northam, 58, a pediatrician who specializes in children’s nerve diseases, a military veteran and the current lieutenant governor; and Republican Ed Gillespie, 56, a corporate lobbyist and former Republican Party chairman.

Little-known Libertarian Cliff Hyra, 34, a patent attorney, also is on the ballot.

While the focus is on state issues, nationally the race for Virginia’s governor is being viewed as an early referendum on the presidency of Donald Trump, the most unpopular president ever.

Richmond soon could have a new public schools superintendent.

The Richmond School Board interviewed finalists last Friday — although the names were not disclosed — and continued discussions Monday during a closed session.

“The board hopes to announce a final selection by the end of November,” Richmond Public Schools spokeswoman Kenita Bowers stated in a release Tuesday.

Interim Superintendent Thomas E. “Tommy” Kranz is not on the list of eligible candidates. A state regulation precludes him from being on the list of finalists because he lacks the academic credentials required for the job.

Under a state administrative code, the Virginia Department of Education requires applicants for a license to be a district superintendent to have earned at least a master’s degree. Mr. Kranz earned a bachelor’s degree and is a certified public accountant, but does not hold advanced degrees.

More than 150 Democratic supporters crammed into Blue Bee Cider in Scott’s Addition on Sunday to hear former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California campaign for Virginia’s Democratic ticket for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.

The enthusiastic crowd roared with approval as the candidates and special guests arrived, shaking hands as they entered through a narrow corridor and offering “hellos” as they went through the crowd.

In a narrow race for leadership of Virginia for the next four years, the Democratic top guns fired up the crowd to help get out the vote for Ralph S. Northam for governor, Justin E. Fairfax for lieutenant governor and Mark R. Herring for attorney general.

“If you want a governor that will keep fighting for you, making sure the power of the office is on the side of the people, I need you to come out to vote,” Mr.

Holder said.

“We are taking the next days to use email, snail mail, to talk, to walk, to remind our family, friends and neighbors that this is a very important election and they need to show up at the polls.

“Whoever runs the states in this country really matter,” Mr. Holder told the crowd.

“They have an influence on all of the federal issues that have a concern for us.”

“We are a great country, founded on the ideals that were present when our forefathers wrote the Constitution … the Bill of Rights — ideals that said we all should be treated like equals,” Sen. Harris said.

But this election, she continued, “is at a time in our country’s history when we have to look in the mirror and ask, ‘Who are we?’

An assistant athletic coach at Henrico County’s Short Pump Middle School has been fired and parents of some students are obtaining lawyers since the release on social media of a graphic video showing white football players on the middle school’s team simulating sex acts on at least two black teammates while shouting racist comments.

Andy Jenks, spokesperson for Henrico County Public Schools, confirmed that the coach was fired, but would not say whether the termination was a direct result of the incident that took place in the Western Henrico school’s locker room.

The video, apparently filmed by perpe-

Former GRTC CEO, 2 others appointed to GRTC board

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Eldridge F. Coles, retired chief executive officer of GRTC, is Richmond’s newest representative on the bus company’s board of directors.

Richmond City Council recently named Mr. Coles, George Braxton and the Rev. Ben Campbell as the city’s three representatives on the GRTC six-member board. The board includes three representatives named by the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors.

The only problem: Mr. Coles lives in Chesterfield County and no longer has any ties to the city.

Ordinarily, that would flout City Council’s requirement that people appointed to represent Richmond must live or at least work in the city.

Councilwoman Kristen Larson said she Mr. Coles and a majority of her council colleagues wanted Mr. Coles on the board and were able to bypass the residency requirement through a technicality.

She said that council doesn’t actually appoint GRTC board members, but instead recommends members to the GRTC board, which actually appoints.

She said City Attorney Allen L. Jackson noted the loophole that allowed Mr. Coles’ Mr. Braxton appointment.

Frank Tunstall, business agent for the unionized GRTC drivers, said he’s pleased by the appointment of Mr. Coles, who spent 46 years with the bus company before retiring in 2013.

Mr. Tunstall credited Mr. Coles with negotiating a satisfactory contract with the union’s regular bus drivers before he retired and for coming back to help settle Rev. Campbell a contract impasse between the company and CARE van drivers.

Mr. Tunstall said he views it as a positive sign that Mr. Coles has joined the board as the union and GRTC begin negotiating a new contract, which will need to include new language about drivers’ service for the bus rapid transit system.

Va. NAACP elects new officers

The Rev. Kevin L. Chandler is the new leader of the Virginia State NAACP. The pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in South Boston, Rev. Chandler was elected president of the civil rights group Saturday at its 82nd annual convention at a Henrico County hotel.

A towering figure at 6-foot-9, Rev. Chandler, 54, was installed Sunday to succeed Linda Thomas of Caroline County, who did not seek another term. He is the former president of the Halifax County Branch NAACP. Rev. Chandler, who also is health and wellness manager for the Southside Community Services Board, said his top priorities for the Virginia NAACP will include “improving communications with members and the public and strengthening the branches.”

He said he and the executive board also will hire a new executive director to handle day-to-day operations at the Richmond office.

Ms. Thomas has been serving as interim Rev. Chandler executive director since the death of Jack Gravely in August 2016.

Others state officers elected Saturday are Robert N. Barnette Jr., former president of the Hanover County Branch NAACP, who was elected vice president; LaSalle J. McCoy Jr., president of the Chesterfield County Branch NAACP, who was re-elected secretary; and James P. Boyd, president of the Portsmouth Branch NAACP, who was elected treasurer.

In wrapping up the convention, the Virginia NAACP delegates passed resolutions calling for the removal of Confederate statues and symbols from public places and urging the General Assembly to raise the threshold for felony grand larceny from $200 to $1,000.

The current $200 threshold to make theft a felony rather than a misdemeanor is the lowest among the 50 states, according to data compiled by the National Governors Association.

Costumed revelers head toward Oregon Hill on Tuesday night during the 12th Annual Halloween Parade. All The Saints Theater Company, led by Lilly Lamberta, staged the satirical event.

This year’s theme: “Funeral for the Confederacy.” The parade featured puppets representing abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass and civil rights activist Angela Davis. The parade also included a tribute to Black Lives Matter. The parade drew about 2,000 people and promotes fun while taking a poke at racism and bigotry.

Nonprofits to provide eye screenings, eyeglasses to RPS students Free Press staff report

Students at Redd Elementary School in Richmond are the first to benefit from a new effort to ensure every city student who needs glasses has them.

Over the next weeks and months, national nonprofits Conexus and Vision To Learn will provide free screenings to virtually every student in Richmond Public Schools, and expects to provide exams and eyeglasses to at least 7,000 students.

Richmond is the latest city to benefit from the work of the nonprofit, which has assisted in 200 cities across the country.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney announced the program last Friday at Redd Elementary, where they met with students who now have glasses.

During October, Redd’s 389 students were screened, with 104 receiving eye exams after potential vision problems turned up during the screenings. The result: 97 students were prescribed glasses, which were distributed during the visit by the mayor and governor.

Officials could not say why eyeglasses are such a big need in Richmond. Many of

the students screened under the program are covered for eye exams and glasses through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Mayor Stoney strongly supports the initiative.

“If you can’t see, you can’t read.And if you can’t read, you can’t succeed,” he said.

“Richmond is grateful for this partnership and proud to be the first Virginia community in which every child, K-12, will be provided the glasses they need to achieve inside and outside of the classroom.”

Conexus, which is based in Chesterfield County, is providing the screenings, while Vision To Learn, based in California, is providing the follow-up eye exams and glasses if needed.

“As a longtime provider of vision screenings to students in Richmond, Conexus knows that thousands of RPS students need an eye exam and glasses.

This partnership will help those students get the help they need,” said Roxane G. Gilmore, chair of the Conexus board and wife of former Gov. Jim Gilmore.

“We serve kids in more than 200 cities from Baltimore to Honolulu,” said Austin Beutner, Vision To Learn’s founder

and board chair. “We’re delighted to add Richmond to the places we serve.”

The cost of the initiative is being covered with funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, the Robins Foundation and the Richmond Community Foundation.

“Launching this program in Richmond is the first step toward ensuring that our students have all of the tools they need to succeed in the classroom,” Gov. McAuliffe said.

A state law that took effect July 1 allowed for nonprofit groups to provide the vision screenings required in public schools by the state Department of Education. Students’ vision must be tested in kindergarten, in second or third grade, and in seventh and 10th grade. The change allowed for the use of advanced screening technology available currently, officials said.

“Across the Commonwealth, an estimated 100,000 students lack eyeglasses,” Gov. McAuliffe said. “That’s why the work of organizations like Conexus and Vision To Learn is so critical. Through efforts like these, we can help thousands more students” learn and become prepared to play a positive role in the future.

St. Luke Building tagged with graffiti

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

The owner of the vacant St. Luke Building is furious after a brick annex attached to the historic Gilpin Court structure was vandalized with graffiti.

Wanda Stallings is accusing Mayor Levar M. Stoney’s administration of enabling the damage by refusing to authorize a permit to allow planned redevelopment to begin, preventing security measures from being taken.

“We have not been allowed to place security fencing around the building or put up cameras because the city is blocking us from gaining the permits we need,” Ms. Stallings said on Tuesday.

She and her partners are seeking to invest $3.6 million to put upscale apartments in the annex and the main four-story building that was once home to the Independent Order of St. Luke, a once flourishing, but now defunct fraternal group that was led during its heyday by renowned Richmond businesswoman Maggie L. Walker.

The project would be the first development project in Gilpin Court in decades.

Ms. Stallings said this is the second time vandals have struck the property at 900 St. James St. Two weeks ago, she said someone broke in and spilled paint across a floor in the main building.

“We were promised to receive a building permit for eight units, but officials have broken that promise,” she said. “Someone at City Hall does not want this project to take place. We have complied with every request, and we are still being blocked.”

In response, the key city official who oversees the issuance of permits, Mark Olinger, director of planning and development review, denied any efforts to block the project. He stated that he and others want the buildings that are part “of the legacy of (Maggie) Walker preserved and brought back to life.”

But Mr. Olinger also acknowledged the city is not yet prepared to issue a building permit for a portion of the work. “There are some issues that ownership needs to address before we can issue” a building permit to allow for development of an initial eight to nine apartments, he stated in an email, although he did not specify the issues. Still, he said, the development team “is aware and hopes to have all those issues settled shortly.”

Sandra Sellars/Richmond Free Press

Graffiti mars bricks on the annex to the historic St. Luke Building at 900 St. James St. in Gilpin Court. Now vacant, the annex provided housing for visiting agents of the former Independent Order of St. Luke. The owners lack permits to fence both buildings.

He also noted his staff is working with the St. Luke team to try to get a special use permit introduced at City Council on Monday, Dec. 11, to enable development of a total of 14 apartments and some commercial space, which he said is not currently allowed by the existing zoning. The annex would get two of the apartments.

He stated that the special use permit request would be introduced if the St. Luke team provides “all of the remaining information within the next week or so.”

Ms. Stallings said that the graffiti was discovered on the same day the city delivered what she called a fresh effort to stall the project.

She said the development was notified on Tuesday that the city would not accept an application for an encroachment permit, which would be needed once the development is complete and the apartments ready for occupancy.

The Department of Public Works’ permit is to allow an overhang over the building’s front door. The overhang has been in place since the building was constructed more than 110 years ago. The permit is required because the overhang is above a city sidewalk.

“We were told to submit the applications for the permit, but were informed that it likely would not be looked at for 18 months, but just would be put in a file,” Ms. Stallings said.

“Now the application is being returned because supposedly it is not detailed enough,” she said. “We have a competent architect on our team, and that application was properly filled out. It’s just a new effort to stop us, and no one can figure out why.”

Mr. Olinger stated that the problem with the encroachment permit would not halt a building permit, but he added that the St. Luke team needed to work with Public Works to “assure the application is complete.”

City Council President Chris A. Hilbert also has been harshly critical of the city’s handling of the St. Luke project.

In an article in the Oct. 26-28 edition of the Free Press, he said that Mr. Olinger’s staff misplaced the application for three months and then began dribbling out requirements piecemeal.

Mr. Hilbert said such actions create problems for people who create jobs and tax revenue for the city and help boost the city’s overall economy.

Indictments in Russia collusion handed down Continued from A1

making false statements and several charges related to failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts.

The indictment alleges the men, acting as unregistered agents of Ukraine’s former pro-Russian government, moved millions of dollars through hidden bank accounts in Cyprus, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Seychelles.

The allegations are not related to campaign activities, but reveal close ties to Russia, and include activities from 2006 to at least 2016 that overlap with the mens’ work on President Trump’s campaign.

Turnout key in gov. race Continued from A1

If Lt. Gov. Northam wins big, the results are likely to be viewed as a sign that the resistance to the Republican president is gaining strength ahead of the 2018 congressional elections, while a Gillespie victory would devastate Democrats and show that allying with President Trump and his anti-health care, antiimmigration policies is a good idea.

While polls have swung wildly, the average appears to show Lt. Gov. Northam leading his Republican rival by about 4 percentage points heading into the only poll that counts — the vote on Election Day. Historically, Virginia tends to elect as governor a member of the political party that lost the presidential election the previous year, a favorable omen for Lt. Gov. Northam.

Only current Gov. McAuliffe, who is constitutionally barred from running for a second term, was the first to win when his party controlled the White House in the past 10 gubernatorial elections. He claimed a narrow victory in 2013, a year after President Obama won a second term.

With President Trump holding the levers of power, “Democratic voters are far more enthusiastic to cast ballots than their Republican counterparts are,” according to Dr. Rachel Bitecofer of Christopher Newport University in Newport News, which has done extensive polling on the race.

While the president has been tweeting praise for Mr. Gillespie with increasing enthusiasm, most political experts see him as a net negative for the Republican.

Still, turnout remains a question in a campaign where there has not been a standout issue. Typically, the percentage of Virginia voters going to the polls drops 25 to 30 percentage points in the governor contest compared with presidential election years.

The Northam campaign is hopeful, pointing to a large volume of donations and the strong showing in volunteer help.

Still, there is little sign that African-American voters, a major element of the Democratic base, are as motivated.

James “J.J.” Minor III, chairman of the Richmond City Democratic Committee, candidly told committee members a few weeks ago that the Northam campaign was “boring” and failing to ignite essential enthusiasm. Others have told the Free Press the same.

There have been efforts to turn on African-American voters, who are key to a Democratic victory. For example, the Black Political Action Committee is investing $1.1 million to boost turnout.

Meanwhile, Mr. Gillespie has stumped in public housing communities, courted African-American contractors and spoken, like Lt. Gov. Northam, at last week’s state NAACP convention to show that he is open and willing to listen to varied groups, even craft policies reflecting those talks.

Yet it is unclear whether Mr. Gillespie has carved into AfricanAmerican support or that Lt. Gov. Northam has made a real connection in promising to continue the progress made under Gov. McAuliffe, who talks up Virginia’s low unemployment rate and the huge surge in jobs and business developments on the Democrats’ watch.

In what many have seen as an act of desperation, Mr. Gillespie sought to use TV ads that seek to paint Lt. Gov. Northam as an ally of a murderous Latino gang called MS-13.

Fact checkers have debunked the Gillespie ads that some have called a “dog-whistle” to Trump supporters.

Lt. Gov. Northam, meanwhile, has been able to publicly appear with the still popular former President Obama in a bid to rally Democratic support.

While the trends seem positive, Lt. Gov. Northam’s supporters are seeking to avoid overconfidence as they await the voters’ verdict.

Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates pleaded not guilty to the charges during an appearance Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson, who ordered both men under house arrest.

Judge Robinson also set a $10 million unsecured bond for Mr. Manafort and a $5 million unsecured bond for Mr. Gates.

With unsecured bonds, they are released without having to pay but will owe money if they fail to appear in court.

There will be another hearing on Thursday, Nov. 2.

President Trump immediately tried to distance himself from the allegations. Before noon on Monday, he said on Twitter that the alledged crimes occurred “years ago” and insisted that there was “NO COLLUSION” between his campaign and Russia.

He also said he has no intention of firing Mr. Mueller, a statement that spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders reiterated on Monday.

“There’s no intention or plan to make any changes with regard to the special counsel,” she said.

U.S. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, who is vice chairman of the Senate select committee probing Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, called the indictments “a significant and sobering step in what will be a complex and likely lengthy investigation” by Mr. Mueller.

“That is why it is imperative that Congress take action now

Richmond ties for indicted Gates

Richmonder Rick Gates, a former Trump presidential campaign official, and his business partner, Paul Manafort, who was chairman of the Trump campaign, pleaded not guilty to a 12-count indictment charging them with conspiracy against the United States, tax fraud and money laundering.

They appeared in federal court in Washington before U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson, who has presided over numerous high-profile cases during her 30 years on the bench.

The 31-page indictment alleges that Mr. Gates and Mr. Manafort received tens of millions of dollars as unregistered agents for the Ukraine between 2006 and 2015, and hid that income and laundered the money through “scores of United States and foreign corporations, partnerships, and bank accounts.”

Mr. Gates, 45, is accused of personally transferring more than $3 million into offshore accounts he controls and not properly reporting the income.

Mr. Gates and his wife, Sarah Brooks, and their four children have lived since 2007 in a home in Westmoreland Place, a subdivision in the near West End, according to Richmond property records.

The couple previously lived in The Fan on Hanover Avenue before purchasing the home on Virginia Avenue for $2.1 million in December 2007.

The indictment alleges that Mr. Gates used money from the Ukrainian government, funneled through off-shore accounts, to pay his mortgage, decorate the home and pay his children’s tuition.

Mr. Gates is the son of Richard W. Gates Jr., a retired Army lieutenant colonel and founder and chief executive officer of the Gates Group International, a management and information technology firm based in Prince George County.

He graduated in 1994 from the College of William & Mary with a degree in government and earned a master’s in public policy from George Washington University.

suspended or expelled because of student privacy laws. But Henrico School Board member Michelle F. “Mickey” Ogburn, who represents the Three Chopt District that includes Short Pump Middle School, said the school system’s strict code of conduct “was applied immediately.”

One parent said last week that three members of the team were suspended, but that could not be confirmed by the Free Press.

School district officials said the team would forfeit the remaining three games of the season and that players would be required to attend practices that include workshops on racial tolerance and ethics.

Frank J. Thornton, president of the Henrico Branch NAACP, told the Free Press that he’s in touch with families of several victims and they are now “securing legal counsel.”

At a heated public meeting held last week

by Henrico officials at the middle school, more than 400 people packed the auditorium that was rocked by outrage expressed by parents and community members.

Many of the nearly two dozen speakers criticized Henrico officials for disregarding incidents of racism and bullying. Many felt the Short Pump Middle School video only served to highlight a raft of issues plaguing the school system, among them, a lack of accountability for incidents of racism and bullying, the need for sexual assault education and poor communication.

Several parents indicated they would take action to remove School Board members if they fail to make appropriate policy changes in light of the most

Mr. Gates’ two-decade relationship with Mr. Manafort has been a close one, with Mr. Gates described as Mr. Manafort’s “protégé,” his “right-hand man,” even his “consigliere.”

Early on, he was an intern at the Washington consulting firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly and worked with Republican lobbyist Rick Davis, eventually working in 2006 with Mr. Manafort and Mr. Davis at their new consulting firm in an office in Kiev, Ukraine.

According to the Washington Post, Mr. Gates worked for high-ranking business executives and oligarchs in Russia, including for Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch with strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

leadership of the states, the great Commonwealth of Virginia, will make a huge, huge difference on what we need to do to get back on track” as a nation.

Next week’s election in Virginia — one of only two states electing a governor this year — is seen as a referendum on the conservative policies of the Trump administration, many of which are supported by Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie and the GOP ticket, and an early preview of next year’s congressional midterm elections.

The latest round of polls show no clear winner or momentum, with neither Lt. Gov. Northam nor Mr. Gillespie consistently garnering above 50 percent. The Quinnipiac poll taken between Oct. 25 and 29 show Lt. Gov. Northam with 53 percent and Mr. Gillespie at 36 percent, with 3.5 point margin of error.

A Hampton University poll taken Oct. 18-22 shows Mr. Gillespie at 41 percent, while Lt. Gov. Northam is at 33 percent.

That poll has a 4.2 point margin of error.

Both political parties are using the final days of the campaign to bring big names to Virginia to stump for the candidates. Former President Obama campaigned for the Democratic ticket on Oct. 19 at a rally in Richmond, while former President George W. Bush appeared at fundraisers for Mr. Gillespie in Alexandria and Richmond on Oct. 16. Vice President Mike Pence also campaigned for the Republican ticket in Southwest Virginia on Oct. 14.

to protect the independence of the special counsel, wherever or however high his investigation may lead,” Sen. Warner said in a statement.

U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Russia interfered in the election by hacking and releasing embarrassing emails and disseminating propaganda via social media to discredit Mr. Trump’s opponent, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Russia denies the allegations and President Trump denies any collusion.

The indictments allege Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates concealed millions of dollars they made while acting as agents of Ukraine on behalf of a pro-Putin political party whose leader, Victor Yanukovych, was president from 2010 to 2014.

Meanwhile, potentially more perilous for President Trump was the guilty plea by Mr. Papadopoulos, his former foreign policy adviser, who admitted in unsealed court papers that he was told in April 2016 that the Russians had “dirt” on Mrs. Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails,” well before it became public that the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails had been hacked.

Mr. Papadopoulos has been cooperating with investigators, according to the court papers. His lawyers hinted strongly in a statement Monday that their client has more testimony to provide.

recent event.

Ngozi Ibe said this isn’t the first time her family has heard of such issues in Henrico schools.

“I’ve been involved in multiple discussions both online and in person, and the common thread is that there is a systemic problem of racism and bullying at Short Pump Middle School that is not being addressed,” she said to applause.

Ms. Ibe, who has two children at Short Pump Middle School, said one was the victim of a “racial incident” at the school last year. She said she was not satisfied with how the school dealt with it.

“You will have to find a middle ground between which you can maintain your privacy requirements, but still keep the community, the student body and parents informed,” Ms. Ibe told school officials.

Another Short Pump Middle School parent, who is African-American, talked about how white students made whipping noises and motions behind her daughter’s back and called her a slave as she walked down the halls.

Another parent raised questions of whether Henrico has a policy regarding students using camera phones in private areas such as school locker rooms and bathrooms.

Cheri David, who identified herself as the parent of one of the Short Pump Middle School football players, read a statement from “Concerned Football Puma Parents” noting the existence of other videos showing boys of various racial backgrounds behaving badly.

“We’ve seen videos — unedited videos — and we are here to tell the truth,” she said, adding that limited portions were

posted to social media.

She was shouted down by indignant parents who accused her of trying to spin the incident.

Parents also expressed disapproval at finding out about the incident from the news media rather than school officials, and said they were concerned about whether any action will be taken.

“I would like to think that we can come up with a better plan for communication in the future,” said parent Sally Martin. “If we can know within 24 hours if someone in my child’s classroom has lice, I don’t understand why we can’t know if there is a crime that’s committed around our children,” she said to applause.

She said students know about incidents at school “and they need our help to process it so they’re not acting it out.”

Ms. Martin also invited the audience to join a Facebook group, Stand Together RVA. The group, which has since changed its name to Parents Advocating for Communication and Equality in Schools, or P.A.C.E.S, is now circulating a Change.org petition, and organizing a push for several policy changes within the school district.

“Generally we want to be proactive about what is going on in the schools,” Mr. Jenks said following the meeting. “But when you’re talking about student disciplinary issues, schools have to be very careful.”

In this case, he continued, “an appropriate response is to immediately and swiftly address it with the individuals involved as well as their families,” he said, adding that school district leaders will use feedback from the meeting to formulate a plan to address the community.

U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rob Portman of Ohio also have come to the commonwealth to campaign for Mr. Gillespie, while U.S. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey stumped in Northern Virginia on Wednesday with Lt. Gov. Northam.

Appearing with Sen. Harris and Mr. Holder at Sunday’s rally in Richmond were Mr. Fairfax and Mr. Herring. Lt. Gov. Northam, who attended services at two African-American churches on Sunday in Roanoke, was campaigning in the Shenandoah Valley.

With African-Americans making up roughly a fifth of the Virginia electorate, the Democratic candidates have been working to rally their base.

State Sen. Jennifer L. McClellan of Richmond challenged the crowd “not to be complacent” and to take “five to 10 friends” to the polls “to seal the victory on Nov. 7.”

white nationalists and neo-Nazis who descended on Charlottesville to protest the statues’ removal. Protesters and counterprotesters clashed, leaving many injured. Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal, was killed when a neo-Confederate supporter plowed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters.

“Remain patient with people but impatient with progress,” he told the breakfast group.

People know Charlottesville as a college town that is home to the University of Virginia, but they don’t know the history of its oppression, Dr. Bellamy explained.

The city opposed the integration of public schools after the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, and shut down public schools rather than allow AfricanAmerican students to attend the all-white public schools, he said.

Several of the sites where the controversial Confederate monuments are located were once home to thriving African-American communities, such as Vinegar Hill, he continued. Residents in Vinegar Hill were moved to housing projects when the community was leveled for redevelopment. Businesses also were moved.

“Whatever we do, we uplift and protect our own,” Dr. Bellamy said. “We are in the New Civil Rights Movement.”

He said, “There’s a huge difference between equity and equality. Equality means everyone gets the same thing. Equity means everyone gets what they need in order to be successful.”

He said the City of Charlottesville currently spends only 0.04 percent of its funds with minority contractors. That’s an equity problem, he said.

Be empowered, be encouraged, be aware and be together, he told the group.

He quoted Dr. King: “Believe in yourself and believe that you are somebody. Nobody can do this for us.”

He said, “Yes, I’m black. I’m proud of it. I’m black and I’m beautiful,” he said, again quoting Dr. King and echoing the conference theme for the state NAACP Youth and College Division, “Our Black Is Beautiful,” highlighting self-esteem, dignity and cultural richness.

Several youth chapters around the state received awards for their work in the community, including the Roanoke NAACP Youth and College chapter. The chapter organized marches and sit-ins surrounding the police shooting death of 18-year-old Kionte Spencer in February 2016. Two Roanoke County police officers fired three shots, striking Mr. Spencer, after repeatedly commanding him to drop what appeared to be a pistol. The pistol turned out to be a BB gun, authorities said.

After an investigation, the Roanoke County commonwealth’s attorney filed no charges against the officers, saying they were reasonably in fear for their safety.

Lt. gov. candidates hoping to win votes

By Saraya Wintersmith

The two major party candidates seeking to become Virginia’s next lieutenant governor are hoping to make their mark in history.

If elected, Democrat Justin E. Fairfax would be the second African-American to hold the post since 1985, when then-Virginia Sen. L. Douglas Wilder was elected.

If elected, Republican Jill H. Vogel, a state senator from Winchester, would become the first woman to win the post since the office became a popularly elected position through a Virginia Constitution change in 1851.

While the lieutenant governor’s position is widely regarded as a stepping stone to Virginia’s highest executive office, whoever wins on Nov. 7 would have the power to sway legislation during the next four years.

In addition to serving as acting governor, sitting on various boards and presiding over the state Senate, the lieutenant governor breaks ties on bills before the Senate. With the composition of the Senate now at 19 Democrats and 21 Republicans, the next lieutenant governor likely will play a vital role in critical and controversial issues that arise.

Both Mr. Fairfax and Sen. Vogel are attor-

She also served as deputy general counsel at the U.S. Department of Energy under President George W. Bush.

Both are running campaigns that emphasize their up-by-the-bootstraps success stories.

On the campaign trail, Mr. Fairfax has said he wants to grow Virginia’s economy by supporting proposals including a higher state minimum wage and increased capital investment. Sen. Vogel has also said growing the economy and increasing capital investment is a priority, but she said she wants to do it by creating a climate favorable to businesses without raising taxes.

On gun policies, the two differ.

During a candidates’ debate in early October, Mr. Fairfax called for tougher gun control measures, including universal background checks for gun purchasers, banning high-capacity magazines

and alluded to reinstating the one-handgun-a-month purchase law that was repealed in 2012 by the Virginia General Assembly.

At the same debate, Sen. Vogel stressed that she doesn’t want to “take anyone’s gun rights away” Ms. Vogel or impair the abilities of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.

Both candidates’ websites detail their ideas on education.

Mr. Fairfax favors reform to Standards of Learning testing and expanded access to early childhood education. He also supports restructuring the state system for allocating student loans to put less of a burden on Virginia students.

Sen. Vogel supports proposals that provide for public education alternatives, including charter schools and education savings accounts that allow parents who withdraw their children from public schools to redirect a set amount of public funds toward their preferred education system.

Regarding health care, Mr. Fairfax, a prochoice candidate with backing from Planned Parenthood, supports Medicaid expansion despite it being a non-starter among General Assembly

Mr. Brown

Republicans for the last four years. He also has indicated support for a “Medicare-for-all” health care system, although he hasn’t said that he will advocate for a single-payer health care system as lieutenant governor.

Sen. Vogel, who describes herself as an advocate for women’s health, has come under fire for sponsoring a bill in 2012 that would have required women to have a transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion. Sen. Vogel maintains that the bill, which was replaced with one that allowed for less invasive ultrasounds, was merely an informed consent bill meant to codify a standard of care.

She also defends the Republicans’ efforts not to expand Medicaid in Virginia, pointing to its potential effects on the state budget.

Mr. Fairfax heads into the final stretch with a slight advantage in cash on hand, according to Oct. 15 campaign finance reports. During the filing period, his campaign team indicated an ending balance of $568,304. NextGen Climate Action, an environmental policy PAC, with in-kind donations totaling $87,384, and several individuals are among his top donors.

Sen. Vogel ended the same period with a balance of $168,493 cash on hand. Among her top donors are Altria, $25,000, and the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, $10,000.

3 of city’s 5 reps in House of Delegates face challengers

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Richmond voters will help fill five of the 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates that will be up for grabs on Election Day. Of the five incumbents whose districts include parts of Richmond and who are seeking re-election to new two-year terms, only three are challenged, Republican Delegate G. M. “Manoli” Loupassi, 68th District; Democratic Delegate Betsy B. Carr, 69th District; and Democratic Delegate Lamont Bagby, 74th District.

The most competitive race involves Delegate Loupassi in the 69th District that includes the western and southwestern parts of the city.

Underdog Democrat Dawn M. Adams is challenging Delegate Loupassi, who is seeking his sixth term.

Dr. Adams, who is health director for the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, has sought to portray Delegate Loupassi as a do-nothing representative when it comes to supporting measures promoting education, economic development and the environment and increased pay for teachers and law enforcement officers.

Delegate Loupassi, who has become a major influence in the election of judges, touts his work to ensure public schools spend more money on instruction, provide support to small businesses and increase public safety.

An attorney, Delegate Loupassi also has become the lead legislative supporter of a Richmond citizens’ initiative to make modernization of Richmond’s aging public schools the top priority — an initiative that Dr. Adams has

called “flawed” and does not back.

Delegate Carr is regarded as the odds-on favorite to win a fifth term in the 69th District that includes much of South Side. She is facing a challenge from two long-shot, third-party representatives, libertarian Jacob A. “Jake” Crocker, who owns three Richmond restaurants, and Green Party member Montigue T. Magruder, a fry cook and scooter mechanic.

Mr. Magruder has been the most active in pushing an agenda promoting alternative energy and a higher state minimum wage.

Delegate Carr, outreach director at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, generally is considered too experienced, too entrenched and too popular to be pushed out of the 69th House seat by either candidate.

Delegate Bagby, director of operations for the

nonprofit Peter Paul Development Center in Church Hill, also is expected to easily handle independent challenger Preston T. Brown, a businessman, to secure his second full term serving the 74th District, which includes a small area of North Side.

Unopposed for election are Democratic Delegate Delores L. McQuinn, 70th District, who is seeking her fifth full term in a district that includes a large share of the East End, and Democratic Delegate Jeff M. Bourne, 71st District, who is seeking his first full term representing the district that includes most of the city’s North Side.

Also unopposed is Democratic Delegate Lashrecse D. Aird, 63rd District, who is seeking a second term representing Petersburg and portions of Chesterfield County, Dinwiddie, Hopewell and Prince George County.

Mr. Herring

Attorney general’s race pits incumbent against political newcomer

By Gary Robertson

Virginia has the only attorney general race in the country this year, and it has attracted a lot of attention and a lot of outside money from both parties.

Democrat Mark R. Herring, Virginia’s current attorney general, is running for re-election against Republican John D. Adams, a newcomer to politics who works for a powerhouse Republican law firm, McGuireWoods in Richmond.

Mr. Herring won election as attorney general in 2013 by the narrowest of margins — 165 votes — over Republican Mark Obenshain.

After a recount of the votes, Mr. Herring was declared the official winner a few days after Christmas, with a revised election-win margin of 907 votes.

His win gave Democrats control of the attorney general’s office for the first time in nearly two decades.

The 56-year-old Mr. Herring was born in Johnson City, Tenn., and was raised by a single mother in Loudoun County. He worked construction and other jobs to help pay his way through college. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and the University of Richmond School of Law. Mr. Adams, 43, was born and raised in Chesterfield County and is a graduate of Virginia

Military Institute and the University of Virginia School of Law. He served as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Mr. Herring and Mr. Adams differ widely on key issues.

For example, Mr. Herring has a proactive position on gun safety measures, such as advocating uniform background checks for gun purchases and the reinstatement of a law requiring that individuals be permitted to purchase only one gun a month, a statute on the books for more than 20 years before it was repealed by the Virginia General Assembly in 2012 under Republican leadership.

Mr. Adams has said the one-gun-per-month law is “an unconstitutional infringement on Second Amendment rights.” He said gun laws currently on the books need to be enforced to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those suffering with mental illness.

The Oct. 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas, in which the shooter had amassed an arsenal of 23 weapons in his hotel room and had several semiautomatic weapons altered to fire like machine guns, has raised the profile of gun issues in the Virginia attorney general’s race.

Mr. Adams has the backing of the National Rifle Association, while Mr. Herring has benefited from donations from gun control advocacy groups.

attorney general’s office to unite state, local and federal groups to combat the drug epidemic. When President Trump said he would cut subsidies to health insurers that lowered the co-payment and deductibles for people under the federal Affordable Care Act, Mr. Herring joined attorneys general in 18 other states in arguing that the action was unlawful.

“President Trump is intentionally destabilizing insurance markets and ripping away health care from thousands of Virginians, and I won’t stand by and allow that to happen,” Mr. Herring said in a statement.

Mr. Adams had no comment on the president’s action.

Heading into the final few weeks of the campaign, Mr. Herring had a commanding fundraising lead over Mr. Adams, with $2.5 million in cash on hand, compared with about $250,000 for Mr. Adams by the Oct. 15 reporting deadline, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project.

Mr. Adams’ top donor has been the Republican Attorneys General Association, which has donated more than $2.7 million to his campaign.

Mr. Herring’s top contributors have been the Democratic Attorneys General Association, $1.7 million, and a gun control group, Independence USA PAC, with nearly $1.3 million.

School referendum on city ballot Do you believe City Hall needs to focus on modernizing city schools?

For the first time, Richmond voters will be able to register their opinion on that question when they go to the polls on Election Day. A referendum on a proposed change to the City Charter to make modernizing aging city schools a priority will be on the back of Richmond ballots.

A record 15,000 city voters signed petitions to put this issue on the ballot, according to political strategist Paul Goldman who spearheaded the effort.

The proposal calls for Mayor Levar M. Stoney to develop a fully funded plan to renovate or replace the city’s aging school buildings after consultation with the School Board and City Council.

The School Board and the Richmond Public Schools administration is working on creating a plan, while funding approval would largely rest with the mayor and City Council.

The referendum would give the mayor six months to create a plan to modernize schools that would not involve raising taxes or tell the public that such a plan is not feasible. Any plan that the mayor creates would go to City Council for appropriate action.

If the referendum is approved by city voters, it also would need General Assembly approval to become effective on July 1.

The referendum has been endorsed by the Richmond Crusade for Voters, the James River Chapter of the Sierra Club, School Board Chairwoman Dawn Page and City Councilman Parker Agelasto.

Delegate G.M. “Manoli” Loupassi, R-68th, and Republican state Sen. Glen H. Sturtevant, a former member of the Richmond School Board, also have embraced the citizen initiative. The Richmond Republican Committee also has endorsed it.

However, Mayor Stoney has not endorsed the proposal, nor has the Richmond City Democratic Committee.

Mr. Herring has been an advocate for equal justice in minority communities and appointed the first African-American woman to serve as a chief deputy attorney general of Virginia.

On the issue of same-sex marriage, Mr. Adams is opposed to it, while Mr. Herring has championed it as attorney general.

Mr. Herring also has been an advocate for women’s health care and defended in court a woman’s access to reproductive health services such as abortion and birth control. Mr. Adams opposes abortion, citing his religious beliefs.

On education, Mr. Adams supports school choice and has said he will support lawful efforts to increase access to charter schools in Virginia.

Mr. Herring has made his mark on education by pushing for continued oversight on bad players among for-profit institutions whose graduates often find themselves deep in debt with no degree or marketable skill.

Helping to find solutions to the current heroin and opioid drug crisis, Mr. Herring has said the state can’t arrest its way out of the problem. As attorney general, he has emphasized a strategy that includes education, prevention and treatment, alongside enforcement efforts against dealers and traffickers who profit from people’s addiction.

Mr. Adams said, if elected, he would create a substance abuse coordination center in the

House of Delegates In the Richmond area House of Delegates races, we endorse the six Democratic candidates in large measure to strengthen the opposition to the GOP’s rigid vise grip on the House that has proven a disaster for average Virginians.

With the GOP’s current 66-34 control over the 100-member House, Republicans have blocked expansion of health insurance to thousands of Virginians, continued the assault on women’s reproductive health rights, worked to jeopardize the restoration of voting rights to people who have served their time in jails and prisons, allowed gun purchase loopholes to go unchecked and tried to protect by law the hundreds of offensive statues and monuments honoring the Confederate cause of slavery that litter public spaces throughout the commonwealth.

We believe the advocacy and service of Richmond area Democrats, several of whom are unopposed in this election, is sorely needed to try to counter such regressive Republican measures.

We mention one race in particular, the 68th District contest between GOP incumbent Delegate G.M. “Manoli” Loupassi and Dr. Dawn M. Adams, a Democrat.

While Delegate Loupassi has become the key legislative backer of the Richmond schools modernization referendum on Tuesday’s ballot, his voting record in the General Assembly on dozens of issues heavily impacting the African-American community has been abysmal.

He has supported measures that prohibit cities from increasing the minimum wage, require a photo ID for voting, prohibit state funding of abortions and mandate an ultrasound prior to all abortion services, repealed the one-gun-a-month handgun purchase limit, and prohibit establishment of sanctuary cities.

By comparison, Dr. Adams supports increasing state funding for school districts like Richmond with high concentrations of poverty, health care coverage for all, including more comprehensive mental health care, curbing student debt for higher education and campaign finance reform.

We believe she would be a better representative for the people of the 68th House District.

Sandra Sellars/Richmond Free Press

We cannot stress enough the importance of voting in Tuesday’s election for Virginia’s next governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.

In our view, the Democratic team of Ralph S. Northam for governor, Justin E. Fairfax for lieutenant governor and Mark R. Herring for attorney general is the best choice to lead Virginia for the next four years. They have articulated a vision to keep Virginia moving ahead.

Despite what pundits say, we believe the election is not a referendum on the Trump administration.

Rather, it is a referendum on who voters think is best equipped to lead Virginia through the impact of President Trump’s and the GOP’s Draconian cuts and regressive policies during the next four years.

Make no mistake: The rushed, ill-conceived policies rolling out of Washington will pierce Virginia as they will all the other states. The leadership, vision and backbone of Virginia’s next governor and executive team will determine just how detrimental the changes may be.

Will Virginians elect a governor and top officials who embrace President Trump’s harmful plans to cut health care to thousands in the commonwealth, redirect public funds for education to private schools, put more people behind bars and deport young immigrants in Virginia attending college and holding down jobs?

Or will we elect a team of leaders who are unafraid of standing up for health care for all, strengthening support for public education, fighting for equal justice and protecting the rights of Dreamers?

Meanwhile, the GOP and its candidates shamefully continue the “dog whistle” to the racist elements of Virginia — announcing their support to keep

statues honoring the dehumanizing Confederacy; appearing at campaign rallies with a neoConfederate and Ku Klux Klan sympathizer; and erroneously tying Democratic support for the restoration of felons’ voting rights with an endorsement of child pornography.

We cannot support candidates who want to carry us back.

That’s what the Republican slate proposes — on everything from women’s reproductive health issues to criminal justice and voting rights.

That’s why we urge voters to endorse the following: Northam for Governor Following on the heels of the high-energy enthusiasm of Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Ralph Northam has not electrified the crowds.

His style is more like that of Mr. Rogers.

But Virginians must vote strategically in this election, and must looker deeper than style to substance.

As a doctor, Lt. Gov. Northam understands the devastation that health care costs can bring to families. More than 400,000 Virginians are still without health insurance. Changes nationally in the Affordable Care Act, coupled with threats of reduced funding for health programs that cover the elderly, children and the poor, may see that number grow in Virginia.

Lt. Gov. Northam has pledged

Mr. Herring

his support for expanding health care, and will try to soften the blows to health care in Virginia that Washington lands.

Even as he has tried to distance himself from President Trump, Republican candidate Ed Gillespie endorses the health care cuts. He also embraces a plan of tax cuts that would benefit the wealthy and cut more than $1 billion from state coffers.

We cannot abide the harm that a Gillespie administration would bring to the commonwealth.

Our vote is for Lt. Gov. Northam.

Fairfax for Lt. Governor An impressive leader with a family history that makes him both relatable and compassionate to others, Democrat Justin Fairfax supports increasing Virginia’s current $7.25 an hour minimum wage, bringing new jobs to Virginia, making higher education more affordable for students and expanding access to early childhood education.

His Republican opponent, Jill Vogel, comes across as charming in television ads, but she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. While she claims to be an advocate for women’s health, she has supported bills to curb women’s reproductive health rights and sponsored a measure that would have required women to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion.

will function effectively on the School Board without getting caught up in the politics of relationships within the school system.

While current 3rd District board member Cindy Menz-Erb has brought strengths to the table with her background in fundraising and programming for nonprofit organizations, we believe RPS should have its own development arm and not rely on School Board members to dial for dollars.

That said, we encourage Ms. Menz-Erb to continue working for the betterment and support of RPS, where the older of her two young children is a student.

Richmond schools referendum

An editorial published in the Oct. 19-21 edition of the Free Press details our position on Proposition A on the Richmond schools referendum. While passage of the referendum

gives no additional money to support the modernization of Richmond schools, we believe a “Yes” vote signals the priority it should have with Richmond’s mayor and City Council.

Commonwealth’s attorney Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael N. Herring is running unopposed.

He has served well during the past 12 years,

including the recent handling of the investigation of former Mayor Dwight C. Jones with fairness and justice. We endorse his re-election.

Sheriff

We support Antionette V. Irving for this open seat to replace longtime Sheriff C.T. Woody.

We believe that competition for the position is healthy and needed, but among the four candidates, Dr. Irving stands out.

We believe the retired major with the Henrico County Sheriff’s Office has the experience, wis-

dom and know-how to run the Richmond Justice Center. She also understands the importance of including in her administration the right people who can build on the many positive programs Sheriff Woody instituted to help inmates, including addiction recovery and community re-entry readiness and assistance.

Treasurer

We are encouraged by the energy, thoughtfulness and direction that Nichole Richardson Armstead has outlined in her vision for the City Treasurer’s Office. Her experience as a

project manager and longtime work in finance will be an asset in the role, which she hopes to expand to provide financial literacy to people in Richmond.

She has blocked efforts to expand Medicaid in Virginia and supports public support for private charter schools.

Mr. Fairfax supports expanding health care for all Virginians, is an advocate for public education and supports tougher gun control laws.

Our vote is for Mr. Fairfax.

Herring for Atty. General Democrat Mark Herring, who is running for re-election, has been an active and activist attorney general. He has joined with attorneys general from around the country to try to protect Virginians from many of the harsh and unconstitutional policies sought by the Trump administration and the GOP. He has filed suit to protect reimbursements to the states under the Affordable Care Act, stood up for Dreamers and fought attempts to roll back the ACA’s mandate for coverage of contraceptives.

He has instituted programs to curb gun violence, stop the epidemic of opioid abuse and to protect consumers from out of control banks and corporations.

He believes the attorney general is the people’s lawyer.

Our vote is for Mr. Herring.

Letters to the Editor

Council President Hilbert may be ‘confused’ about St. Luke project Re “Hilbert critical of city’s handling of St. Luke project in Gilpin Court,” Free Press Oct. 26-28 edition: Possibly City Council President Chris Hilbert is confused in his claim that the city administration is blocking permits for upscale apartments and commercial space at the St. Luke Building in North Jackson Ward.

The North Jackson Ward neighborhood, across Interstates 95 and 64 from Jackson Ward, is more widely known for the impoverished Gilpin Court public housing community than for the St. Luke Building, which was the home of Maggie Walker’s business and banking interests.

The St. Luke Building, and a few other buildings, are on about 15 acres of vacant land, with no public housing, along the edge of the interstate.

Wanda Stallings, developer of the St. Luke project, and others met with Mr. Hilbert in 2014 about the development of the St. Luke Building and the 15 acres of vacant land. Ms. Stallings had proposed mixed use, with possible upscale apartments and commercial space in the St. Luke Building.

A build out analysis being prepared at that time showed that the 15 acres of vacant prop-

erty could support more than 1 million square feet of new mixed-use space and parking. This new space could meet some of the expansion needs of MCV Health Services, the Richmond Bio-Tech Park and the new Consolidated Lab Building.

This new development would free Gilpin Court from isolation and provide job opportunities in the neighborhood.

The project would need a zoning change for the whole 15-acre area because a special use permit/spot zoning for the St. Luke Building alone, would not work.

Mr. Hilbert was asked to initiate the zoning change more than three years ago. Mr. Hilbert vowed to help.

The building permit for the St. Luke Building is likely denied by the city due to inadequate zoning. Mr. Hilbert’s inaction is the likely culprit.

What does the record show?

Get to root cause of school problems Re “Criminal probe in lewd, racist Henrico middle school video,” Free Press Oct. 26-28 edition: There is a scripture within the 13th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew that talks about where good crops are sown, weeds are sown among them.

During the recent incidents at Chesterfield and Henrico public schools, there seems to have been disruptive students infesting the good students as well as the administrators.

While Chesterfield has plans to conduct sensitivity training with their school officials, the Henrico school system has elected to cancel the remaining portion of Short Pump Middle School’s football season.

Weighing in on the school systems’ decisions, NAACP presidents in Chesterfield and Henrico have reservations on the effectiveness of the

outcome of the schools’ actions.

Have the students been influenced by their school administrators? Have the students been influenced by their environment? Or have the students been influenced by their families?

Without getting to the root cause of the problems, there is the propensity to reach the wrong conclusion.

Someone has sown the good crop, and someone has sown the weeds.

Until we address the entire problem, our students and schools will continue the cancerous infection of minority disenfranchisement.

L.J. McCOY JR. Chester The writer is president of the Chesterfield Branch NAACP and secretary of the Virginia NAACP.

Bigger stakes for VUU-VSU football rivalry

Jaquan Anderson

Nicholas Jerome “Nick” Ackies

NSU freshman shot, killed off campus Nicholas Jerome “Nick” Ackies, an 18-year-old freshman defensive lineman from Henrico County on the Norfolk State University football team, was shot and killed Friday, Oct. 27, at an off-campus apartment in Norfolk.

NSU graduate Jaquan Anderson, 22, a former Spartans football player, has been arrested and charged with second degree murder and use of a fireman in commission of a felony.

Anderson, who played football at Chesterfield County’s L.C. Bird High School before enrolling at NSU, is being held without bond at the Norfolk City Jail.

Authorities said emergency dispatchers received a call shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27, about gunshots in the 800 block of Hayes Street. When police arrived, they found Mr. Ackies inside an apartment. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Anderson’s address was listed as the same block where the slaying occurred.

Ackies was a standout, all-round athlete at Douglas Freeman High School in Western Henrico County. He earned Class 5A All-Region and All-State honors in football as a senior at Freeman while also lettering in basketball and baseball.

Listed as a 6-foot-2, 265-pound defensive lineman at NSU, Ackies wore the No. 75 jersey and was majoring in criminal justice. He played in three games this season for NSU before being sidelined with an injury.

The fatal shooting occurred the night before NSU’s Saturday, Oct. 28, homecoming game against Savannah State University. Ackies was honored in a moment of silence prior to kickoff before a crowd of 17,218 fans.

NSU lost 27-9 to previously winless Savannah State.

Just a week earlier, the Spartans recorded a big win by upsetting defending MEAC champ North Carolina Central University 28-21.

“It’s probably going to be a tough couple of weeks for these guys,” NSU Coach Latrell Scott told the media following the game. He met the media alone and did not make the players available.

“This is such a tragic situation,” Marty Miller, NSU’s athletic director, said in a statement. “Our prayers are with Nick’s family during this very difficult time.”

This is the second shooting to impact the NSU football program this year. In June, incoming freshman Dy-Shawn Simpkins Jr., a defensive back, was shot to death in East Orange, N.J.

Coach James

Area bragging rights and much, much more will be at stake Saturday, Nov. 4, when Virginia Union and Virginia State universities commence to popping pads at Rogers Stadium in Ettrick.

In a spirited gridiron rivalry that has been waging for well beyond a century, seldom has a game meant more.

The 2 p.m. matchup will feature both CIAA divisional championship and NCAA Division II playoff implications.

Here’s the deal, first for VSU: The Trojans are eyeing their first perfect season since going 9-0 in 1929 under Coach H.D. Martin.

With a victory, VSU can clinch the CIAA Northern Division crown, a berth in the CIAA title game and very likely a first round home game on Nov. 18 in the NCAA Division II Super Region 2 playoffs.

Even with a loss, VSU still might win the CIAA Northern Division championship on a tiebreaker, and likely would qualify for the NCAA Super Region 2 eight-team draw.

VUU has less of a margin for error.

A loss would likely drop the curtain on the Panthers’ campaign. A victory, however, could place VUU in a tiebreaker situation for the CIAA North Division title and also present a reasonable shot at a second NCAA bid in three years.

Bowie State University, coming off an 86-14 annihilation of Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, is the third team in the Northern Division contending for the CIAA title and an NCAA bid.

The tune-ups: VSU rolled to its eighth straight win this year and 12th in a row over two seasons with a jittery 26-23 win last Saturday at Chowan University.

The game will be remembered most for senior tailback Trenton “Boom” Cannon smashing the VSU career rushing record held by George Leonard.

Flashing his uncanny ability to change

Coach Barlow

direction at full speed, Cannon zigzagged for 164 yards and two touchdowns and is averaging 8.5 yards per carry.

It was a sloppy effort, however. The Trojans were penalized 15 times for 136 yards and needed a late-game fumble recovery near their own end zone to avoid upset.

On homecoming weekend, VUU rallied in the second half of last Saturday’s game to defeat Elizabeth City State University 37-21.

Gustavious Dames put the Panthers ahead to stay with a third-period, 100-yard kickoff return. Dames’ dynamic dash broke the VUU kickoff return record of 97 yards set by Mike Dolby in 2005.

On the sidelines: A former NFL receiver, VSU Coach Reggie Barlow quickly caught on to what it takes to win in Ettrick.

Coach Barlow’s Trojans were 9-2 his first year, winning their last four games.

Saturday, Nov. 11 CIAA Championship game, 4:30 p.m.

Salem Stadium outside Roanoke

Overall, Coach Barlow is 17-2 wearing orange and blue and hasn’t lost a game since mid-October 2016.

VUU Coach Mark James is 26-14 in four seasons since pumping fresh life into a program that had lost its bounce. Still, Coach James’ 2016 season saw a poor finish, with speculation about his future.

This season, despite having to replace his starting quarterback and tailback from 2016, the Panthers have impressed, especially on offense, with Darius Taylor emerging as a standout quarterback.

Friendly dispute: VUU and VSU historians differ on the origin of the schools’ rivalry. According to VUU, the first game matchup between the two teams was in 1900, with VSU winning 11-5 in Petersburg.

However, VSU’s media guide lists their first game in 1902, with the Trojans beating the Panthers 12-5, also in Petersburg.

There is some evidence of games in 1898 and 1899, but results are missing.

From the CIAA to the NFL: Nine Trojans have been drafted by NFL teams, starting with defensive back Lynn Hart in 1965 by Buffalo. The most recent VSU draftee was defensive end Kelvin Kinney by the Washington NFL team in 1996.

Virginia Union University has had 17 NFL draftees, starting with fullback Hezekiah Braxton (San Diego) in 1961.

The most recent Panther selected by the NFL was safety Peter Hunter (Dallas) in 2002.

Standing room only: Rogers Stadium, which opened in 1950, seats 7,909 people, but there is plenty of standing room around the perimeter of the stands.

The largest turnout for a VUU-VSU game was in 1979, when a spillover crowd of 32,000 saw the visiting Panthers prevail 3-0 on a Wilbert Whaff field goal. Among those in attendance was basketball star Moses Malone, wearing a full-length fur coat.

VUU in exhibition game Friday with VCU at Siegel Center Virginia Commonwealth University’s Siegel Center and Barco-Stevens Hall at Virginia Union University are located about a mile apart on a Richmond map.

But on the basketball court, the teams from the two Richmond schools were 50 points apart (94-44) when they met last in a 2012 exhibition.

On Friday, Nov. 3, VUU is getting its long overdue rematch — although the game could fall into the be-carefulwhat-you-wish-for column.

The host VCU Rams, despite a coaching change, have every advantage in this matchup, starting with an annual hoops budget of nearly $6 million that is many times that of their HBCU neighbor.

Another factor is that VCU, with 99 straight home sellouts and a rollicking fan base, has become dominant at its Siegel Center playpen at 1200 W. Broad St. The Rams are 57-7 at “The Stu” over the past four seasons.

And then there’s television. Virtually all of VCU’s regular season games

are televised. VUU is almost never on TV. The Rams have evolved as a Division I power, with seven straight trips to the NCAA tournament, including a Final Four run in 2011.

The Panthers, in the NCAA Division II, have three national titles — in 1980, 1992 and 2005. It has been to the NCAA playoffs just twice, with no wins, since Coach Dave Robbins retired in 2008.

That said, third-year Panthers Coach Jay Butler has no plans of forfeiting.

“Anytime we step foot on the court, we’re playing to win,” Coach Butler said.

“It will be good for the kids to play under that jam-packed atmosphere. We’ll have a chance to see what we’ve got.”

VUU, which was 22-7 a year ago, has been hit hard by graduation. Coach Butler is missing last year’s top three scorers, CIAA Player of the Year Ray Anderson, John Mitchell and Tavon Mealy.

Coach Butler’s first five in this game

figure to be Kory Cooley and Marcus Hoosier at guard, with Jimmy Paige, William Jenkins and Devin Moore up front.

A key sub might be 5-foot-10 whirlwind Jemal Smith, a junior college transfer from New York, who will be asked to help solve VCU’s signature pressure defense.

“We’ll have to take care of the ball,” said Coach Butler. “It will be a big test for our guards. If we’re not ready, it could be a long night.”

Coach Butler can speak firsthand of the VCU-VUU rivalry. He was a VUU point guard in 1995 when the Rams and the Panthers, with Ben Wallace, last met in an official game.

VUU led much of the way before bowing 62-59 at the Richmond Coliseum in a fiercely contested battle.

“I remember (VCU Coach) Sonny Smith saying after that he’d never play Union again.”

The Rams might be a bit vulnerable.

Coming off a 26-9 season last season, VCU is coached by Mike Rhoades, a

former assistant under former Coach Shaka Smart.

Coach Rhoades succeeds Will Wade, who left VCU after two seasons to become head coach at Louisiana State University.

In the beginning: VCU and VUU first met in 1969, when Benny Dees was coaching the Rams and “Tricky” Tom Harris was coaching the Panthers.

At the time, both schools were affiliated with the NCAA College Division — equivalent of the current Division II — and the NAIA. Upset special: On Feb. 2, 1973, history was made when Coach Harris’ Panthers beat VCU, coached by Chuck Noe, 77-75 at the new Franklin Street Gymnasium. It was VCU’s only loss at its on-campus gym, where the Rams played some games 1970 to 1979.

Rocky Rhoades: VCU’s Coach Rhoades is 0-1 against VUU. In his first head coaching job, Coach Rhoades’ Randolph-Macon College squad lost 73-60 to VUU in Ashland in 2004.

On the record Rams hold 8-2 edge over Panthers in official games between 1969 and 1995.

Personality: Trina H. Lee Spotlight on Leadership Metro Richmond board chair Richmond has been home to Trina H. Lee since 1986 when her family moved here when she was in high school.

After graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University and moving away for several years, Richmond pulled her back with her husband, Hugh, where they have raised two daughters.

Her eyes were opened to many of the issues facing the Richmond community when she got involved with Leadership Metro Richmond and its Leadership Quest program. It was “transformational,” she says, and helped her determine her direction as a corporate and community leader.

Ms. Lee now is helping promote and inspire new community leaders in her volunteer role as Leadership Metro Richmond’s 2017-18 board chair.

Started in 1980, LMR has worked to advance the Richmond region by connecting, educating and inspiring a diverse group of leaders to serve the community. Each year, about 70 students enter the LMR class for a nine-month immersion into a particular issue facing the Richmond region. Classes meet with experts — from school superintendents, police chiefs and political leaders to nonprofit leaders and community organizers — to gain knowledge and understand various perspectives.

The class then is divided into subgroups of five or six people who complete projects that help community organizations or nonprofits meet specific goals.

Members are inspired first to serve, Ms. Lee says, then to lead.

When Ms. Lee was in the LMR Class of 2006, her subgroup developed a plan for an urban garden in a food desert with the executive director of the Fulton Community Center.

“We worked on a needs assessment, interviewed people in the community to better understand what their needs were and their access to healthy food options, a pricing analysis on what it could cost to run the garden and then sell the food in a cost effective way,” Ms. Lee recounts.

“What I loved about this is that I was educated across so many issues,” Ms. Lee says.

“There would not have been any way I could have gotten that depth of knowledge and how this impacted the Richmond area without LMR deep immersion,” she says.

“Because LMR is so diverse, with people from corporate, government, community and volunteer organizations, nonprofits and entrepreneurs, it opens your eyes to so much.”

It also helped her to identify how she wanted to give back to the Richmond community by getting more involved, she says.

It also gave her the tools “to be a more thoughtful and effective leader” in philanthropy at CarMax, especially as “we think holistically and have a strategic view on how, as an organization, we can have a positive impact on the community in Richmond.”

More than 2,000 people have participated in LMR classes.

Roughly 19 now serve in elected positions, she says.

In her role as board chair, Ms. Lee wants to continue to expand how the organization engages with its members and to support their servant-leader path.

“I believe in the mission of LMR and that it has a positive impact on the Richmond area,” she says. “I want to help ensure that future generations have the opportunity to participate in the life-changing, community leadership developing opportunities that LMR provides.”

Meet LMR’s 2017-18 board chair and this week’s Personality, Trina Hoppin Lee. Occupation: Assistant vice president, public affairs and communications, at CarMax. What I do: Lead the teams at

CarMax that manage public relations, associate communications and all philanthropy efforts.

Top volunteer role: Leadership Metro Richmond 2017-18 board chair.

Date and place of birth: April 30 in Rock Island, Ill. Current residence: City of Richmond.

Education: B.S., radio and television broadcasting, Virginia Commonwealth University, and MBA from East Carolina University.

Family: Husband, Hugh Lee; and daughters, Abigail, 22, and Hannah, 19.

When I was elected: June 2017.

LMR’s No. 1 project now: Our No.1 project right now is the Leadership Quest Class of 2018. This group of 70 community leaders from across the region participated in their second full-day seminar on Nov. 1, which offered a variety of perspectives on the wealth gap, as well as prepared them for their upcoming immersion experience. Each year, Leadership Quest program participants are divided into small groups with whom they will take part in a regional issue immersion and analysis experience.

Impact of LMR: Connecting and informing leaders across the region; preparing them to better serve their communities.

Impact of LMR on my life: The Leadership Quest program was transformational and opened my eyes to many important issues our community faces. I knew I wanted to help make a difference, but didn’t know how to engage. LMR provided me with training so I could get involved in areas where I knew I could make a difference.

Impact of LMR on my career: I’ve been fortunate to have a diverse career that has provided

me with rewarding experiences and learning. I started in news media as a TV producer where it was my mission to help bring important information to viewers. I then transitioned into working in state government as a public information officer, where I worked on education campaigns regarding preparedness for events, including bioterrorism and other public health situations. Currently, my career is now with CarMax, where I have had the opportunity to further grow, learn and help support our community and our associates.

LMR’s connection with other leadership programs: LMR is a member of the National Association of Leadership Programs. It is a feeder program for Lead Virginia, as well as a next step for leadership programs provided

by ChamberRVA and the Community Foundation.

LMR is financially supported by: Corporations and individuals.

A good leader is: Someone who leads in service to others.

Status of Richmond area’s leadership: Richmond has strong leadership across our government, nonprofit and business areas. We are fortunate to have many passionate and dedicated leaders who are helping to make a difference.

How I start the day: My husband and I walk our two dogs while drinking coffee.

When I get into the office, I read newspapers and prepare for the rest of the day.

I relax by: Exploring Belle Isle with our dogs and visiting local breweries in Scott’s Addition. I really love everything Richmond has to offer.

A perfect day for me is: A day including a walk along the James River with our dogs or going out to listen to live music.

Something I love to do that most people would never imagine: I’m mostly an open book. But something new is that my family is trying to find time to learn how to sail.

Best late-night snack: Ice cream.

A quote that I am inspired by: “If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it; want to change the world … there’s nothing to it.” – Willy Wonka.

The best thing my parents ever taught me: Be honest, work hard and help others.

Book that influenced me the

most: “To Kill a Mockingbird”

by Harper Lee. What I’m reading now: “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah.

If I’ve learned one thing in life, it is: Love is all that matters.

Next goal: Further helping my family, team and community achieve their dreams.

Planting expectations The effects of climate change can be seen up and down the coast. But what’s harder to see is how the planet’s fluctuating temperature impacts us farther inland. The plants I study on the barrier islands of Virginia can tell us what else to expect as the planet gradually gets warmer. My name is Lauren Wood, and deciphering the mysteries of plants to understand our changing planet is how I challenge the norm. VCU is where I make it real.

ologist from the 1850s until his death in 1900.

He gained national attention when he prepared the Prince of Wales a mint julep on his visit to Richmond in 1860.

He used his notoriety and ingenuity to buy freedom for his son and wife when they were threatened to be sold away. His fame and success paved the way for his children to pursue careers in education, civil rights and journalism.

The documentary was co-directed by the husband and wife team of Hannah Ayers and Lance Warren, with historian Elvatrice Belsches working on the project as a archival researcher, adviser and interviewee.

Tickets are $55.00.

Francisco Mora Catlett, son of the renowned late artist Elizabeth Catlett, talks with Meg Gottwald about his mother and her work following a screening and discussion of the documentary “Betty & Pancho” last Friday at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. The documentary focuses on Ms. Catlett’s inspiration and the artistic collaboration between she and her husband, Francisco “Pancho” Mora, a Mexican painter. Mr. Mora Catlett and his brother, Juan Mora Catlett, coproduced the film. Alex Nyerges, director of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, led a conversation with Mr. Mora Catlett before an audience of about 60 people.

InLight Richmond Friday night Richmond’s biggest light show returns to Downtown on Friday, Nov. 3, as part of the First Friday’s art walk.

Dubbed InLight Richmond, the free, public event is 7 p.m. to midnight and will feature sculptures, videos, performances and other creative projects that will illuminate buildings, walls and sidewalks and will include a community lantern parade, it has been announced.

InLight Richmond is a project of the 1708

Gallery that was started in 2008. The aim, according to organizers, is to offer Richmond an opportunity to engage with contemporary art outside gallery walls and to experience the city in new and unexpected ways.

The 10th annual show features the works of more than 20 artists and teams. It will take place on Broad Street between 1st and Henry streets in the city’s Arts and Culture District.

Music legend Fats Domino dies at 89 Free Press wire reports

NEW ORLEANS Before the likes of Little Richard and Elvis Presley, Fats Domino helped usher in the era of rock ‘n’ roll with a pounding piano and an easy baritone that proved popular among all ages.

The pioneering singer-songwriter and musician, best known for such hits as “Blueberry Hill” and “Ain’t That a Shame,” died Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017, in his native Crescent City. He was 89.

Born Antoine Domino Jr. in February 1928, he earned his nickname from his girth — he weighed more than 200 pounds — and his first hit, “Fat Man,” a 1949 recording that became the first rock ‘n’ roll song to sell 1 million copies.

Small in stature at 5-foot-5, he went on to become a giant of popular music.

Mr. Domino’s music went viral, selling more than 110 million copies during his lifetime of standards like “Shake, Rattle and Roll” and “I’m Walkin’. ” Five of the recordings he made before 1955, when Mr. Presley’s first recording hit the airwaves, were certified as gold records for sales topping 1 million copies. During his career, he had 35 records on Billboard’s Top 40 list.

Known for his wide, boyish smile and a haircut as flat as an album cover, he won fans across racial lines with a musical style based on traditional rhythm and blues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar and drums and the thumping beat of his piano.

Even after Mr. Presley began his meteoric rise, he acknowledged the influence of Mr. Domino, who remained Mr. Presley’s

Fats Domino

top rival with his oversized persona, dance hall music style and songs of love and home.

Mr. Domino was one of the first 10 honorees named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and he has since been inducted into virtually every other popular music hall of fame.

His dynamic performances and warm vocals drew crowds for five decades. On stage, he often played a grand piano while standing, throwing his body against the big instrument in sync with the beat of the music.

Mr. Domino’s 1956 version of “Blueberry Hill” was selected for the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry of historic sound recordings worthy of preservation.

Robert Guillaume, stage, screen, Emmy TV star, dies at 89 Free Press wire reports

LOS ANGELES Robert Guillaume rose from squalid beginnings in St. Louis slums to become a star in stage musicals and win Emmy Awards for his portrayal of the sharptongued butler in the TV sitcoms “Soap” and “Benson.”

His stage, screen and TV achievements are being remembered following his death Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017, at his California home near Hollywood. He was 89.

His widow, Donna Brown Guillaume, said he had been battling prostate cancer.

He earned his TV roles after playing Nathan Detroit in the first all-black version of “Guys and Dolls” on Broadway, earning a Tony nomination in 1977.

He also was the voice of the shaman Rafiki in the film version of “The Lion King” and won a Grammy in 1995 for his narration of a read-aloud version of the story.

He also served as narrator for the animated HBO series “Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child,” which aired from 1995 to 2000.

Actor Josh Charles tweeted, “Robert Guillaume radiated such warmth, light, dignity, and above all, class. That smile and laugh touched us all.”

While playing in “Guys and Dolls,” Mr. Guillaume was asked to test for the role of an acerbic butler of a governor’s mansion in “Soap,” a primetime TV sitcom that satirized soap operas.

“The minute I saw the script, I knew I had a live one,” Mr. Guillaume recalled in 2001. “Every role was written against type, especially Benson, who wasn’t subservient to anyone. To me, Benson was the revenge for all those stereotyped guys who looked

Mr. Guillaume

like Benson in the ’40s and ’50s (movies) and had to keep their mouths shut.”

The character became so popular that ABC was persuaded to launch a spinoff simply called “Benson,” which lasted from 1979 to 1986. His character went from running the kitchen for a governor to becoming a political aide to eventually becoming lieutenant governor.

After suffering a stroke in 1999 and recovering, Mr. Guillaume became a spokesman for the American Stroke Association.

While he became wealthy from his TV work, his origins were grim.

“I’m a bastard, a Catholic, the son of a prostitute, and a product of the poorest slums of St. Louis,” he wrote in the opening paragraph of his 2002 autobiography, “Guillaume: A Life.”

He was born on Nov. 30, 1927, one of four children. His mother named him Robert Peter Williams. He adopted the last name Guillaume, a French version of William, as a stage name he thought was

more distinctive.

His early years were spent in a backalley apartment without plumbing or electricity. An outhouse was shared with two dozen people, he wrote. His alcoholic mother hated him because of his dark skin, but his grandmother rescued him, taught him to read and enrolled him in a Catholic school.

Early on a rebel, he was expelled from school and then the Army. He also fathered a daughter and abandoned the child and her mother. He did the same to his first wife and two sons and to another woman and a daughter.

Before finding acting, he worked in a department store, the post office and as St. Louis’ first black streetcar motorman.

Seeking something better, he enrolled at St. Louis University, excelling in philosophy and Shakespeare, and then went to Washington University in St. Louis, where a music professor trained the young man’s superb tenor voice.

After serving as an apprentice at theaters in Aspen, Colo., and Cleveland, Mr. Guillaume won roles with such touring Broadway shows as “Finian’s Rainbow,” “Golden Boy,” “Porgy and Bess” and “Purlie,” and began appearing on sitcoms such as “The Jeffersons” and “Sanford and Son.” Mr. Guillaume’s first stable relationship came when he married TV producer Donna Brown in the mid-1980s and had a daughter, Rachel. At last he was able to shrug off the bitterness he had felt throughout his life.

“To assuage bitterness requires more than human effort,” he wrote at the end of his autobiography. “Relief comes from a source we cannot see but can only feel. I am content to call that source love.”

Mr. Domino stayed true to his hometown. In the 1980s, he stopped touring, claiming he could not get the food he liked outside New Orleans.

Even a 1998 invitation to the White House did not persuade him to make an exception.

He was there when Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005, and he and his family had to be rescued from their mansion in the 9th Ward.

He lost his home, three pianos, dozens of gold and platinum records and other memorabilia in the flood.

He rarely performed after that, but in May 2007, he delighted fans with an appearance at a New Orleans music club, where he played a litany of his hits. That performance was a highlight during several rough years, which included the death of his wife of more than 50 years, Rosemary, in April 2008.

The son of a violin player, Mr. Domino taught himself popular piano styles — ragtime, blues and boogie-woogie — after his cousin left an old upright in the house. Fats Waller and Albert Ammons were early influences.

He quit school at 14 and worked days in a factory while playing and singing in local juke joints at night. In 1949, Mr. Domino was playing at the Hideaway Club for $3 a week when he signed with the Imperial record company. He recorded the “The Fat Man” in the back of a tiny French Quarter recording studio.

In 1955, he broke into the white pop charts with “Ain’t That a Shame” and enjoyed a parade of successes through the early 1960s, including “Be My Guest” and “I’m Ready.”

He also helped link rock ‘n’ roll with other styles, even country-western music. He recorded Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya” and Bobby Charles’ “Walkin’ to New Orleans.”

Like many of his peers, Mr. Domino’s popularity tapered off in the 1960s as British and psychedelic rock held sway.

Mr. Domino told Ebony magazine that he stopped recording because companies wanted him to update his style.

“I refused to change,” he said. “I had to stick to my own style that I’ve always used or it just wouldn’t be me.”

He and his wife raised eight children in the same working class New Orleans neighborhood where he grew up, but they did it in style — in a white mansion, trimmed in pink, yellow and lavender. The front double doors opened into an atrium with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and ivory dominos set in a white marble floor.

He was flamboyant. In 1988, he paid cash for two Cadillacs and a $130,000 Rolls Royce. When the salesman asked if he wanted to call his bank about financing, Mr. Domino smiled and said, “I am the bank.”

In 1998, he became the first purely rock ‘n’ roll musician to be awarded the National Medal for the Arts. But he cited his age and didn’t make the trip to the White House to get the medal from President Bill Clinton.

Logan excels on slow-pitch softball circuit

By Fred Jeter

Most men play slow-pitch softball for an excuse to slip out of the house, get some exercise and perhaps throw back a few cold ones with the guys.

Brian Logan falls into a much different category.

While his day job is with U-Turn Sports Performance Academy, the former Varina High School athlete is about as close as what the Richmond area has to a professional softball player.

While “B-Lo” hasn’t become wealthy hitting and fielding the stitched 12-inch ball, he at least covers his expenses while traveling a national weekend circuit.

“It’s like a part-time job,” said the 31-year-old, left-handed outfielder who competes in the USSSA Conference, which generally is considered the “big leagues” of softball.

USSSA, short for U.S. Specialty Sports Association, is based in the Orlando, Fla., area, although it was founded in 1968 in Petersburg.

The conference circuit consists of 13 tournaments crisscrossing America, with the season championship at Disney Stadium in Orlando.

A bachelor, Logan split his time this past season between the Indiana-based Backman and New York-based SIS-Thunder.

Logan also was named to Team USA Futures (under age 32) that defeated Canada in the nationally televised Border Battle in Oklahoma City.

He is renowned for his exceptional speed in the field and on the bases, and for being a steady, line-drive hitter.

“I can hit home runs, but that’s not my thing. My goal every tournament is to hit .700 — to get on base,” he said.

His résumé features an impressive string of All-Tournament and Defensive MVP accolades.

Detailed statistics are kept, much like pro baseball. If someone isn’t performing, they won’t be around long.

In a three-man outfield — as opposed to the traditional four men — few cover as much turf as Logan, considered among the nation’s top glove men.

A typical softball weekend for Logan starts with a Friday flight to wherever the top-end action is about to unfold.

“Your sponsor pays for your flight, rental car, hotel — two to a room,” he said. “And when you get there, you get an envelope with $500 in it, although some get more.

“I’m not saying I bring anything home when we go to (Las) Vegas, but usually I don’t spend any more than about $150,” Logan said.

The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Logan Brian ranks with Varina High’s all-time greats. As a member of the Class of 2004, he starred as a baseball pitcher/centerfielder and as the football quarterback.

He was drafted by the Cleveland Indians coming out of Varina High and by the Baltimore Orioles following a stint at Louisburg College in North Carolina. His potential was never fulfilled, however, because of a shoulder injury that required surgery by famed Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.

Logan wound up playing pro baseball one year with the Milwaukee Brewers chain and two years in the independent Frontier League.

For the past seven years, he has worked as front desk and activities manager at U-Turn Sports, a West End youth sports training center.

He was lured into slow-pitch softball by another former Varina High athlete, Cory Boothe, who also has played in the top tier.

He became an instant star, as one might expect. Soon, offers from more serious teams poured in and, before long, he arrived at softball’s pinnacle.

“To be honest, I thought slow pitch was a bunch of old men just having some fun,” Logan said. “I never knew it existed on this (conference) level and that it attracted Logan the type of athletes you see on the circuit.”

To stay sharp, Logan plays on occasion with friends at area complexes such as Dorey Park, Pole Green and Glen Allen and also at Battlefield Park Elementary School in Hanover County.

As for batting practice, he said he takes it “wherever I can get it — sometimes off a tee. I’ve even had my mother pitch to me.”

A good son and a good hitter, “B-Lo” promises never to blast it back at mom.
