Obamacare still vital Signature health care law remains intact despite GOP assaults

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Don’t panic if you bought individual or family health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.

The ACA, a.k.a. Obamacare, is struggling but still alive and will continue to operate, according to experts in the field, despite President Trump’s decision last week to cut off premium subsidies to insurance companies.

It is still uncertain whether the Trump decision will stick.

Attorneys general from Virginia to New York are threatening lawsuits aimed at reinstating those payments.

And despite the decision, the ACA marketplaces will still open Nov. 1 for enrollment.

More importantly, “everyone who qualified for reduced premiums and/or tax credits” to help pay the cost of health insurance will still qualify for those benefits if their income did not increase much, said Jill Hankin, an attorney and director of the Center for Healthy Communities at the Virginia Poverty Law Center in Richmond.

That’s good news for people like Shirley L. Evans, 33, a receptionist at a dental office in Richmond and the single mother of two young children.

As a working adult making $22,500 a year, she makes too much to qualify for Medicaid, which provides only for persons below the 2017 poverty line, $12,600 for an individual, $16,240 a household of two, $20,420 for a family of three and $24,620 for a family of four.

Because her employer does not offer group health coverage for the staff, she relies on the ACA for her coverage. She currently pays less than $130 a month for insurance for herself; her children are covered through the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

“Look, I couldn’t afford to see a doctor without my health insurance,” she said. “I barely make ends meet now, and I don’t make enough money to pay full price for insurance. I bring home less than $1,300 a month after taxes, and health insurance would eat most of that up if I didn’t get government help.”

It doesn’t matter that the government is not paying her insurance company; the ACA requires her health insurer to reduce her premiums because her income is less than 250 percent of the poverty line, which is $12,600 for individuals.

People who make less than $25,000 per year qualify for lower premiums and out-ofpocket medical costs under the ACA, regardless of what President Trump does to insurance payments. The amount is 250 percent of the poverty line, which was $12,600 this year

Emmy Sumpter, 11, winner of the Food Network’s Chopped Junior cooking contest, shows off her skills in the kitchen at St. Catherine’s School in Richmond’s West End.

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Councilman Michael J. Jones is no longer racing to put a resolution before Richmond’s governing body urging the elimination of Confederate statues from Monument Avenue.

Just days before a council committee was to consider his resolution this week, the 9th District councilman asked for the issue to be continued.

He was not immediately available for comment on his decision to slow consideration of the resolution, which if passed, would call on the General Assembly to grant Richmond authority to remove the five Confederate statues that have been features of Monument Avenue for more than a century.

“He said he needed to tighten up the wording,” said Councilwoman Ellen F. Robertson, 6th District, chair of the Land Use, Housing and Transportation Committee to which the resolution was assigned.

Statue issue halted – for now

Cooking is part of Emmy Sumpter’s DNA. Emmy’s earliest memories of cooking begin at age 6 when she would help her mother, personal chef Erica Sumpter, prepare recipes and meals in their kitchen.

“My mom cooked and that led me to cooking,” Emmy said.

Emmy’s love and talent for cooking since has grown to the tune of $10,000, an amount she recently won on the Food Network show “Chopped Junior.” The show, which aired Oct. 10, is a television reality cooking game series Emmy, a fifth-grader at St. Catherine School’s school in Richmond, wowed Chopped Junior judges with dishes such as steak and zucchini kabobs, cake pop cream and raspberry fudge s’mores, and the contest-winning chorizo corn dog meatballs, a dish that she had not prepared before.

“The chorizo, a pork sausage, corn dog meatballs just came to my mind,” said the 11-year-old, after proving she has the chops for turning mundane meals into something magical.

“It feels really good to be the Junior Chops winner and I like it,” Emmy said.

Her mother, while pleased, isn’t surprised by her win.

“Emmy mixes food combinations spontaneously creates different dishes,” says her mother. “She knows the ingredients needed to take it from dull to delicious.”

Cheryl Burke, a former Richmond Public Schools principal, is sworn in Oct. 7 as the new 7th District School Board representative at City Hall.

Cheryl L. Burke, a former longtime principal at Chimborazo Elementary School, is the Richmond School Board’s unanimous choice to serve as the interim school board representative for the 7th District.

Mrs. Burke’s selection comes one month after former 7th District School Board member Nadine MarshCarter resigned following her husband’s death.

Voters will elect an official replacement to serve the remainder of Ms. Marsh-Carter’s four-year term in November 2018.

“I’m still getting over the magnitude of today,” a teary-eyed Mrs. Burke said after being sworn in Tuesday morning at City Hall. She added that the appointment represents a path similar to that of her mother, Octavia H. Lewis, who served on the Powhatan County School Board after teaching in that system for more than 40 years.

“We mimic what we see, and that’s what my parents did, and so I continue with that,” she said.

The vote to appoint Mrs. Burke as the area’s School Board representative came after an hourlong closed session Monday night. Several city officials later said that Mrs. Burke’s passion and breadth of experience set her apart from the nine other candidates seeking the position.

Mrs. Burke has worked within Richmond Public Schools for nearly four decades. Although, she wouldn’t disclose her age Tuesday, she smiled and jokingly said that she has been teaching since she was a toddler.

Public records show that Mrs. Burke earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education in 1976 from the now-defunct Saint Paul’s College in Lawrenceville. Her career began as a preschool teacher at Clark Springs Elementary and OverbySheppard elementaries. After teaching for five years, she earned a master’s in education from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Confederate rally in Richmond exceeds $500,000 in police spending

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

“The cost of monitoring First Amendment assemblies is not cheap.”

That’s the view of Richmond Police Chief Alfred Durham.

And that certainly proved true for Richmond, which spent $570,000 on crowd control and other services on the Sept. 16 protest over the city’s Confederate statues, according to figures the city reported last Friday.

Chief Durham was the biggest spender.

Given a blank check to prevent another Charlottesville where one person was killed and dozens injured at an August rally involving that city’s Lee statue, Chief Durham didn’t spare any expense.

Uncertain how many pro-Confederate statue supporters and counterprotestors would be on hand, he authorized

$252,328 in overtime to provide the city police personnel he deemed necessary, according to the report.

He also spent another $254,041 on operating costs, including the purchase of equipment that could be used at this event and similar events, such as the one the same pro-Confederate group, the Tennessee-based New Confeder-

ate States of America, is planning for Saturday, Dec. 9.

His total expenditure of $506,369 was seven times the $70,000 that Charlottesville reported spending for its August event, which was huge compared with the rally in Richmond.

The chief has yet to provide more details, including how many officers

got paid and how long those officers ended up working before, during and after the Sept. 16 rally.

Nor has the city. And it may be the inquiries will not be made given that City Council was thrilled that the upheaval in the city proved minimal.

Museum creates garden to lure animal pollinators

By Ronald E. Carrington

Creating an environmentally friendly pollinator garden filled with native Virginia plants to attract birds, bees and insects was on the minds, and in the hands, of Dominion Energy employees earlier this week.

For two days, on Oct. 16 and Oct. 17, the employees voluntarily helped install hundreds of native plant species that adapt to Richmond’s climate to support the state’s food supply.

In addition to providing a new outside experience that will expand the museum’s educational opportunities, the garden will be a plant source and habitat for animals, said museum officials.

Throughout the growing season, the 2,000-square-foot garden will contain 550 flowers, shrubs, grasses, herbs and trees.

When the garden is in bloom, birds, bees and insects that are attracted to the area will help pollinate crops and trees that produce fruits, vegetables and herbs sold at farmer’s markets Slices of life and scenes and grocery stores. in Richmond Animal pollinators — such as bees, moths, hummingbirds, ants, butterflies, wasps, beetles and flies — are an essential link in agriculture, according to museum officials, who estimate that about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on pollinators to reproduce.

Changes to landscapes, the reduction of green space and the desire for debris-free yards has decreased nesting sites and food sources for pollinators. A decline in bird, insect and especially bee populations also has created devastating voids in ecosystems, and put billions of dollars worth of agricultural products at risk.

Bee-pollinated commodities alone account for $20 billion in annual U.S. agricultural production.

In addition to expanding environmentally focused experiences, the museum hopes to encourage guests to explore pollination gardens at home.

“People can easily grow native plants in their yard in full sun to shaded areas, and enjoy not only their flowers and foliage, but also the variety of insect and bird pollinators that they will attract,”

St. Luke Building permits still elusive

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Mayor Levar M. Stoney’s administration is blocking the first major development in decades in poverty-stricken Gilpin Court, the Free Press has learned.

The project: Redevelopment of the historic St. Luke Building into 12 upscale apartments, with first-floor commercial space, at 900 St. James St. The administration has refused to issue permits or allow the $3.5 million development to proceed since April, documents obtained by the Free Press show, while ushering through significant projects in Downtown and other areas of the city that are more prosperous.

The development is considered a potential game-changer for Gilpin Court, which lies north of Interstate 95 off 1st Street and is best known for the public housing community that has largely filled the area since the 1940s and is regularly identified on the news for shootings.

The St. Luke Building, vacant for nearly 40 years, is the former headquarters of the Independent Order of St. Luke, a benevolent fraternal and insurance society that famed Richmonder Maggie L. Walker transformed into an engine of community improvement in the early 1900s.

The four-story building was the initial home of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank that Mrs. Walker chartered on behalf of the organization and that was later known as Consolidated Bank & Trust Co. This is the first of several developments headed for the area.

The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority is working with a nonprofit developer on plans to create apartments in a vacant school building and a separate apartment complex just south of Gilpin Court at Duval and 1st streets.

Instead of embracing the St. Luke development, the city has thrown up zoning and planning barriers, documents show, to prevent work and raise costs for the developers, the building’s owners, Margaret and Wanda Stallings, and their partner, attorney Charles E. Ayres Jr., owner of River City Ventures LLC. The developers have declined comment.

Selena Cuffee-Glenn, the city’s chief administrative officer, and others involved, including Planning Director Mark Olinger, also have not responded to requests for comment.

Third District Councilman Chris A. Hilbert, who represents the area and is City Council president, also did not respond to a request for comment.

The only city response has come from Lee Downey, the deputy chief administrative officer for economic development and planning.

In a phone call to the Free Press, he said the city “supports this development,” but incorrectly suggested that the first permits for the project were submitted in July, despite city records showing otherwise.

He also offered no assurances that the city would allow the St. Luke development to proceed.

Dominion Energy volunteers install hundreds of pollinator native plants at the Science Museum of Virginia to attract pollinators that will help fuel the Richmond area’s food supply.

said Dr. Eugene Maurakis, lead scientist at the museum.

“The Pollinator Garden is a great way to introduce school groups and museum guests to the important roles that pollinators play in the balance of nature,” said Dr. Maurakis. “It is also an effective way to engage the youth and other visitors in

citizen science projects,” to make people aware of the variety of Richmond-area pollinators.

In addition to the 20 Dominion employee volunteers who planted the garden, the utility company provided $25,000 to support the installation of the garden, which was completed in two days.

Training camp fails to score finances, developments for city Jeremy M. Lazarus

After five football seasons, the Washington pro football team’s training camp at 2401 W. Leigh St. apparently is failing to generate enough income to pay off the cost of its construction.

City Hall is now considering a plan to refinance $9 million that is still owed on the facility so the debt can finally be paid down over time with taxpayer dollars, the Free Press has learned.

The debt problem showed up in the latest monthly financial report that Mayor Levar M. Stoney’s administration provided to City Council this week.

The report shows the city’s debt on the training camp remains unchanged at $9 milMr. Wack lion.

While the city’s Economic Development Authority (EDA), which owns and manages the building and the camp, was supposed to provide $500,000 a year to pay down the debt, city Finance Director John B. Wack has disclosed that the city has received only two previous EDA payments in 2015 and 2016 and none for this year.

Mr. Wack noted that the general fund has been used to pay about $362,000 a year to cover interest costs on the

building, continuing a practice that has been in place since the camp opened in 2013 as a combination training center for the football team and a medical building for hospital giant Bon Secours, which contributed to its construction.

The hospital and health system agreed to provide $6 million spread over a series of years to gain naming rights and space for medical offices.

Bon Secours has been making its payments to the EDA, according to city records.

City Councilman Parker C. Agelasto is concerned about the city being on the hook for the debt on the building that was supposed to pay for itself. The city borrowed $10 million to build it, Mr. Wack noted.

Mr. Agelasto has repeatedly asked the administration for reports comparing the income and expenditures on the building to the financial projections that were used to sell the project

to the council.

“So far, I have not been able to get that information,” the frustrated 5th District councilman said Tuesday.

Mr. Agelasto suggested that the administration is hiding the reality that the training camp has become a “white elephant” for city taxpayers, or in other words, a drain on city resources.

Earlier this year, Mayor Stoney said he was seeking to renegotiate the deal that his predecessor, Dwight C. Jones, made with the football team and that the council ultimately approved. The team is contractually obligated to hold training camps in the summer for at least eight seasons, but could extend.

While talks are continuing, Mr. Wack has indicated that the city wants permission to refinance the debt, according to internal city emails obtained by the Free Press.

Mr. Wack stated that the ad-

Got the blue ticket Volunteers distribute tickets Tuesday at the Richmond Coliseum for the Democratic campaign rally Thursday in Richmond featuring former President Obama. Mr. Obama was to stump for Ralph Northam, the Democratic nominee for governor, and his ticketmates, Justin Fairfax, who is seeking to become the next lieutenant governor, and Mark Herring who is seeking re-election as attorney general. The rally location: The Greater Richmond Convention Center in Downtown. Mr. Obama was expected to appear around 7 p.m. at the event.

ministration plans to introduce an ordinance at the next council meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, that would request the council allow the administration to refinance and pay the debt off over 15 years.

“We’re going to be stuck with the building for 15 more years?” Mr. Agelasto said.

“We’d be better off selling it to the state and getting it off our books.” The city, through the EDA, owns the building, but the state still owns the Leigh Street land on which it sits.

The training camp, created in a joint venture with Bon Secours and the EDA, has long been a sore point for some city residents, although both the Jones and Stoney administrations have cited the invaluable publicity it has generated for the city.

They argue the camp has helped create a buzz about Richmond outside Virginia and become a selling point in attracting other companies considering relocating to the city.

However, some developments that were initially linked with the training camp have yet to materialize.

As part of the deal, the city was supposed to benefit from Bon Secours’ planned redevelopment of the old Westhampton School in the West End and the development of a medical office building near its Richmond Community Hospital.

To date, the school has not been redeveloped, though Bon Scours is now planning to build a medical office building next to that historic building.

The East End medical office center still remains on the drawing board. Bon Secours has yet to move ahead with that project.

The result is that the city has yet to receive the extra property tax revenue that was to be generated by the development of the two buildings. Under its agreement, in place of taxes, Bon Secours has made annual contributions to the city’s public school operations.

Push to restore ACA funding struggles for support Free Press wire reports

WASHINGTON The Senate authors of a bipartisan plan to restore subsidies to insurers to reduce the cost of health insurance to lower income buyers involved with the Affordable Care Act are losing momentum and would need significant help to get their proposal through Congress.

The prospect the president would sign such a bill, even if it passed the Senate and House, also has dimmed.

“If something can happen, that’s fine,” President Trump told reporters Wednesday at the White House, just a week after creating the turmoil for people who buy insurance through ACA markets under the program former President Obama spearheaded.

“But I won’t do anything,” President Trump said, “to enrich the insurance companies because right now the insurance companies are being enriched. They’ve been enriched by Obamacare like nothing anybody has ever seen before.”

The proposal from Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., calls for a two-year extension of federal subsidies to insurers that President Trump has blocked.

GOP co-sponsors include Sens. John McCain of Arizona,

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Tennessee’s Bob Corker. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said Sen. Alexander has eight or nine Republican co-sponsors, and Democrats plan to provide an equal number to build bipartisan pressure.

Supporters of the Alexander-Murray measure also include America’s Health Insurance Plans, the giant trade group for insurers; AARP representing the elderly; and the National Retail Federation, which lobbies for merchants plus doctors, hospitals and patients groups.

But the promising proposal already has secured an important new foe. The anti-abortion National Right to Life group said it opposed the measure because it lacked language barring people from using their federally subsidized coverage to buy policies covering abortion, said Jennifer Popik, the group’s top lobbyist.

In another blow, Doug Andres, spokesman for House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said the speaker “does not see anything that changes his view that the Senate should keep its focus on repeal and replace of Obamacare.”

With hard-right conservatives wielding considerable influence and unwilling to prop up President Obama’s health care law, it appears Speaker Ryan would be unwilling to even bring the

for a single person.

For the people who qualify for the biggest reductions, their health insurance deductible — the out-of-pocket cost — can drop from about $3,600 a year to $250 because of discounts under the ACA. (Two or more people in a household qualify for discounts at higher income levels depending on age and family size because the poverty line is based on income and family size.)

Ms. Hankin estimates that of the 390,000 Virginians who bought insurance through the ACA, about 80 percent, or around 312,000 people, would continue to qualify for tax credits, and of those, about 243,000 people also would qualify for tax credits and reduced premiums based on their age and income.

The impact of the president’s action will hit hardest at households with higher incomes who do not qualify for any subsidies, Ms. Hankins said.

Currently, subsidies go to people at or below 400 percent of the poverty line, including couples with a household income of $64,000 or less a year and a family of four with a household income of $98,000 or less.

Those making more do not qualify.

And those premium hikes will be substantial when 2018 arrives, according to the State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Insurance.

Premium costs already had been expected to increase between 10 percent and 54 percent for 2018, based on early summer filings from the seven companies that are still offering health insurance through the ACA exchanges, the bureau noted.

But in August, in preparation for the loss of federal cost-sharing payments, the insurers revamped their rates at the SCC’s request, the bureau stated. Now the average increase is running between 51 and 67 percent, with increases of 160 percent to 265 percent on some policies, the bureau stated.

The average cost for a policy under the

revamped and higher rates is projected to average $668 a month to $1,031 a month per person, depending on the company and the policy, the bureau stated in a Sept. 27 report.

The uncertainty is whether those who get no subsidies for purchasing an individual or family plan will drop coverage because of the expense, leaving only sicker, older patients and those qualifying for subsidies in the pool of those buying health care coverage.

Ironically, the president’s action will end up costing the federal government an extra $2 billion to $3 billion a year in increased subsidies to cover the cost of tax credits, asserted Matt Fiedler, a fellow with the Brookings Institute in Washington.

He said that the government has been spending about $7.7 billion a year to provide tax credits.

As the premiums go up, Mr. Fiedler noted, the government would need to come up with additional tax dollars to cover the higher premium cost for those who qualify for the credits.

Statue issue halted – for now Continued from A1

Mr. Jones’ decision was not completely unexpected given a recent opinion from City Attorney Allen L. Jackson that the council is barred under the City Charter from removing the statues.

Ms. Robertson said Mr. Jones asked for the continuance last Friday, and she notified the committee members, Kim Gray, 2nd District, and Kristen N. Larson, 4th District, immediately as well as the committee’s staff.

However, a public announcement of the proposed continuance did not go out to the public until 2½ hours before the committee meeting at 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Ms. Gray was miffed at the late notice.

She said that up to 90 people from several groups were preparing to attend the committee session to voice their views on the resolution.

“My phone was ringing off the hook” after the notice that the controversial resolution would not be heard, she said.

Ms. Gray was even more concerned after Ms. Robertson told her that the continuance did not become official until the committee voted to do so.

Ms. Gray noted that the statement that was sent out to the public asserted that Mr. Jones’ resolution would be continued before the committee had a chance to vote.

While Ms. Gray still wanted the mat-

ter to be heard, Ms. Robertson and Ms. Larson both voted to continue it until the November committee meeting. At Ms. Larson’s suggestion, the decision included a request for the matter to be heard at a future meeting of the Organizational Development Committee, to which all nine council members belong.

Separately, the committee also deferred hearing a proposal to allow Chesterfield County to use 2 acres of Larus Park on South Side to develop a pumping station for extra water to be purchased from the city.

Ms. Gray said the administration requested the continuance as it continues to seek potential alternative sites or to find ways to appease opposition to the proposal.

Former principal fills 7th District seat Continued from A1

Mrs. Burke continued working with RPS as an elementary schoolteacher, and later as a teacher specialist before arriving at the 7th District’s Chimborazo Elementary School in 1996.

She was the school’s principal until her retirement in 2014.

Records also show that Mrs. Burke has been an RPS substitute administrator for the past year.

“I never stopped working with children in the East End of the City of Richmond upon retirement four years ago,” she said.

Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney, who attended her swearingin ceremony, described Mrs. Burke as an “excellent addition” to the School Board.

“I think she brings a vast amount of experience,” Mayor Stoney told reporters, “but also, you know where her heart lies — with the kids and the families of Richmond Public Schools.”

During her Oct. 2 public interview, Mrs. Burke identified “student achievement” as a top priority for Richmond Public Schools, and suggested that an emphasis on soft skills and school culture could help remedy the issue.

“Once we start caring about each other and collaborate and reach consensus, then we can gain greatly what’s expected,” she said earlier this month.

When asked how much she expects to accomplish during her 14-month term, Mrs. Burke said, “I’m going to give it my all, and I know Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I know it can be better than it is now.”

measure to the House floor even if it passed the Senate.

Overall, it was a bad day for the bipartisan accord, with several Republicans conceding that it likely needed the president’s backing to survive.

“Without the president supporting it, I don’t think you have the votes in the House or the Senate,” No. 3 Senate GOP leader John Thune of South Dakota said.

Sens. Alexander and Murray shook hands on their agreement this week after months of intermittent talks.

Failure to restore the federal payments to insurers could result in higher premiums for millions of people who buy their own individual policies and drive more insurance carriers from unprofitable markets. Many in Congress would love to avoid blame for two such tumultuous events.

The federal money reimburses carriers for lowering co-payments and deductibles for about 6 million lower-income customers, which the companies must do under Mr. Obama’s statute.

Without those funds, insurers would likely boost premiums by an average 20 percent, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has projected. This would especially hit many who make too much to qualify for tax credits that help reduce premiums for people who make lower incomes. Tax credits to reduce premiums end for a family of four with household income above $98,000, for example.

Insurers in Virginia and other states already have installed higher premiums for next year, anticipating the subsidies would end.

Emmy, the youngest of three children, agrees. Her older brothers are Tazle, 19, and James, 22.

“When I cook I have to taste the food to make sure the ingredients are just right,” she said, adding that her daughter never measures or tastes the ingredients when cooking.

“She knows just the right amount of everything,” said her mother.

“She’s really amazing and always wants to cook her way.”

Doing things her way allows for more fun and the ability to experiment, Emmy said.

“It’s just like a different way to express yourself,” she said.

“The judges were really nice and really fun to be around and Ted Allen (the show’s host) asked why I didn’t taste my food during the show.”

“She’s a vegetarian,” her mother acknowledges.

During the show’s food preparation segment, Emmysaw the chorizo in the pantry and the idea for a dish just popped into her head, so she tried it.

The Sumpters say it was cool traveling to New York where the Food Network is taped and learning how such shows are produced.

“It actually takes three days to make a 50-minute television show,” Emmy said. “Also, the other kids on the show were really fun to be with.” Besides Virginia, other contestants came from California, North Carolina and Vermont.

Emmylanded on the show after responding to a casting call that she saw online in September 2016. As a longtime fan of the Food Network, she submitted a video and was notified a few weeks later that she had been selected to appear on the show.

The three-day shoot took place in January.

In order to be on the show, Emmy’s parents signed a confidentiality agreement, which included not saying anything about her daughter being on the show, and they were assigned nannies to enforce the production rules.

“We had to be on time for all rehearsals and could not have any communications with outside people about the show for three days” Emmy said.

Emmy’s father, Vassar Sumpter, said was surprised to learn that a lot of video footage never airs on the show.

When not cooking or winning cooking contests, Emmy enjoys performing as a member the School of Performing Arts in the Richmond Community (SPARC). Emmy credits her participation in SPARC for helping her to relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera while taping the show in New York.

Her future plans include blending her love for acting, cooking and modeling.

Confederate rally exceeds $500,000 in police spending Continued from A1

Still, the chief took a real interest in a Miami Herald article focusing on white supremacist Richard Spencer’s planned appearance at the University of Florida. He was to speak this Thursday, Oct. 19, on the campus.

The article noted that Gainsville, Fla., is projecting it could spend $500,000 to handle that event, based on estimates that untold thousands of supporters and foes are headed to that city to show support or to condemn Mr. Spencer.

In Richmond, the pro-Confederate group could only muster six people, and the counterprotest group numbered less than 200, and the shouting match over the statue largely dissipated after about three hours.

With the Charlottesville bloodshed still fresh, public messages urging people to stay away and wholesale shutdown of streets might have aided in reducing the number of participants.

The Richmond Department of Fire and Emergency Services trailed far behind police, but was the second biggest spender out of the seven city departments and the Sheriff’s Office that were engaged, according to the city’s report.

The Fire Department spent $28,056 on personnel overtime, plus $5,730 on operating costs, according to the report, for a total of $33,786. It is unclear how or why that money was spent.

The other city departments, Emergency Communications, Information Technology, Planning, Public Works and Public Utilities, and the Sheriff’s Office, collectively spent $29,859.

Virtually all that money, more than $26,000, went to pay overtime to personnel. For example, Emergency Communications spent around $6,400 on overtime, while the Sheriff’s Office paid out nearly $3,800 and Information Technology spent nearly $7,400.

Public Works, whose staff was involved in setting up barriers and cleanup, paid about $3,800 in overtime, while Public Utilities spent $5,160 on personnel costs, plus another $3,791 on a contractor.

That, perhaps, will be a richer, more evocative tale.

But not all civil-rights battles need to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. That will fall to future installments of Mr. Marshall’s exploits and upcoming films for Boseman, who’ll soon star as the Marvel hero in “Black Panther.’’

“Marshall,” an Open Road release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of

America for “mature thematic content, sexuality, violence and some strong language.”

A gift of $1.1 million from best-selling author David Baldacci and his wife, Michelle, will enable students in the College of Humanities and Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University to pursue internships, attend conferences, conduct research, travel abroad and explore entrepreneurial projects.

The gift also will create the Baldacci Political Science Endowed Scholarships that will support an undergraduate student majoring in political science.

Meanwhile, a $2.5 million gift from CoStar, a real estate data firm, will fund an endowed chair in real estate analytics in the VCU School of Business.

In announcing the two gifts earlier this month, VCU President Michael Rao described Mr. Baldacci’s gift as “an invaluable contribution in support of VCU students’ education.”

Regarding CoStar, Dr. Rao showed equal gratitude, saying VCU is pleased to work closely with the company in a city and with a university that is increasingly becoming known for “being forward thinking and innovative.”

Mr. Baldacci received a bachelor’s degree in political science from VCU in 1983, and a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1986. He has published 34 novels, several of which have been adapted for film and television.

“Our continuing partnership with VCU is incredibly meaningful to us both,” Mr. Baldacci said. “The endowed fund and endowed scholarship will provide direct support to any university’s most important asset: its students. We look forward to helping VCU students in achieving their full potential as students and in their endeavors after graduation.”

Andrew C. Florance founded CoStar in 1987, and in doing so, pioneered the concept of commercial real estate firms outsourcing research functions to a third-party information provider.

CoStar is among Forbes magazine’s 2017 list of the 100 most innovative growth companies in the world.

“In establishing the CoStar Group Endowed Chair in Real Estate Analytics, we aim to bring the intersection of big data and real estate together to bring more transparency, velocity and efficiency to the global commercial real estate market,” said Mr. Florance, founder and CEO of CoStar.

Less than a year ago CoStar established a research location in downtown Richmond. Its current workforce at the site includes about 165 VCU alumni.

Ed Grier, dean of VCU’s School of Business since 2010, also welcomed CoStar’s gift.

“We are thrilled and excited to receive such a generous gift from CoStar,” said Mr. Grier. “The VCU School of Business and CoStar are natural partners with our common focus on creativity, analytics and innovation. We couldn’t have a better partner for our university and community.”

October 19-21, 2017

Yes on Proposition A For decades, as our school buildings have grown older and begun to decay, we, the people, have had little say in whether city leaders should completely renovate them or replace them with modern structures.

Unlike the counties, which must get public approval for bond issues, we have relied on our City Council representatives to determine how much of a priority our school buildings are.

For the first time, we will an opportunity to register our opinion on the issue of school modernization when we cast our ballots on Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Exasperated residents, including members of the Richmond Crusade for Voters and the Sierra Club, have made it possible.

They followed the advice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and took the matter into their own hands, instead of waiting for the mayor and council.

Led by a former Virginia Democratic Party official, Paul Goldman, those residents collected a record 15, 000 signatures from our citizens to put the issue on the ballot so that we could register our opinion as to whether the time for action has come.

The citizen initiative will be listed as Proposition A. It is titled “Section 6.15 – Fulfilling the Promise of Equal Educational Opportunities.” It will be found on the flip side of the one-page ballot that voters will receive at the polls.

Like us, if you are indignant about falling ceiling tiles, moldy classrooms and other problems in the buildings where we hope and expect our children will learn, this is an unprecedented opportunity to speak out.

The premise is simple: The proposal calls on Mayor Levar Stoney to consult with School Board and City Council and then to create a fully-funded plan to modernize all of the school buildings to present to the council for consideration or to tell us why he cannot do so.

That’s all. It does not obligate the council to carry out the plan. But if we all say we want this, we are giving the mayor and the council a mandate to make this a priority — and a mandate to act is a powerful tool. Here’s the bottom line: You can’t solve a problem without a plan to solve the problem, and that is what Proposition A proposes.

The School Board has presented numerous plans to the council, but all essentially were wish lists because only the City Council can provide the funding, and it has not.

The reality is that a large majority of our buildings are obsolete.

Since 1997, we have only improved or replaced about 10 school buildings, leaving at least 34 that are past their useful life, which is about 40 years. A state study a few years ago indicated that Richmond had one of the largest collections of outdated buildings in Virginia.

And if nothing is done, our children will be attending these same buildings for years to come.

In 1955, in the Brown v. Board of Education II decision that followed the famed 1954 Brown I decision outlawing governmentenforced racial segregation of schools, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the quality school buildings was one element of ensuring the opportunity for equal education.

Today, our schools, with their ignored maintenance, appear to violate that decision and create monuments to segregation more shameful than even the Confederate statues that decorate some our streets and are the subject of a current uproar.

We have heard plenty of objections, such as this proposal would tie the mayor’s hands or block him from proposing tax increases to finance what could be an expensive program for change. Some estimates put the cost of modernizing the school at $500 million or more.

But that is not the case. The mayor must show us there is no other way to get the job done short of raising taxes. The building program would take time, and Richmond would not need to borrow all the money at once. Best estimates suggest our city might have to pay 2 cents to 5 cents of each dollar of the tax revenue the city collects to cover the annual debt service.

And if a tax increase is needed, then at least we would all know that our leaders have done their level best before they come back to us for more money. Still, we need a good plan in place first, and focusing on taxes before that happens could mean more years of failure to get the buildings modernized.

Some have said this proposition interferes with the authority of the School Board as it vests the mayor with authority to create a fully-funded plan. But the mayor currently has the authority to create such a plan under state law and the City Charter.

Some object to this plan because it does not deal with the academic shortcomings in our public schools or does not ensure Richmond will get more state funding for school operations.

Certainly, new school buildings do not guarantee a quality education. The data on student educational achievement at our newest high school and our newest middle school bear that out.

But we definitely cannot provide a 21st century education in buildings that were designed for learning in the 1950s, a truism supported by various academic studies. And it somehow seems wrong to halt any progress until we address all educational challenges.

Our elected officials, including Mayor Stoney, who calls himself the “education mayor,” and most of our council members promised last year during their campaigns that school modernization would be a top priority if they were elected.

So far, it seems the issue has remained on the back burner.

This advisory referendum— which would still need approval of the General Assembly and so far only one member of the Richmond delegation, Republican Delegate Manoli Loupassi, has embraced it — might not be perfect.

But it would create a transparent, accountable process demanding a solution to what we all know is a real problem for our city.

That is why we support this initiative and urge you to do so on Election Day.

Good luck We congratulate the School Board on its selection of Cheryl L. Burke to succeed Nadine Marsh-Carter as the 7th District representative.

The selection was necessitated by Ms. Marsh-Carter’s resignation following the death of her husband.

In our view, Ms. Burke brings the kind of insider perspective needed on a board, mostly composed of people with only limited and outside connections to our schools.

She is taking her seat as the board is poised to name a new superintendent from the list drawn up by its search committee headed by Dominion CEO Tom Farrell.

With 38 years of experience as a teacher and principal, including 18 years at the helm of Chimborazo Elementary, she has served under multiple chief executives of Richmond Public Schools.

As a result, Ms. Burke should bring fresh insight to this crucial selection of a person, who, hopefully, can help improve our schools and end the slide in academic achievement.

Her participation should improve the board’s questioning of candidates and the board’s discussions as the choices are narrowed to the finalist.

So, Ms. Burke, we wish you good luck as you take on a new role in your educational career.

What is a Black Identity Extremist?

While White men are beating Black men on the streets of Charlottesville, Va., while a lone White wolf is shooting people from the Mandalay Bay Hotel, while the word “terrorist” is hardly used to describe these men, the FBI, under the leadership of the racist Attorney General Jeff Beauregard Sessions, is thinking up a new way to oppress Black people.

Despite the fact that there is no evidence of a “movement,” the FBI has described a group of black people as “black identity extremists” who pose a domestic terrorist threat to police officers.

Hold up! We have seen domestic terror threats, although there are those of limited intelligence who cannot fathom them. The man who shot up an Orlando, Fla. nightclub was a domestic terrorist. Dylan Roof, who worshipped with the parishioners at Mother Emanuel AME church was a domestic terrorist so highly regarded by law enforcement

that they bought him a meal before taking him to jail. The man I will not mention in Las Vegas was a domestic terrorist.

But the FBI is manufacturing evidence to focus on us African Americans who embrace our Black identity.

Foreign Policy, the magazine and website that broke the story

Julianne Malveaux of this new classification of “woke” black people, leaked the FBI document that links black identity with extremism and threats to police officers. The document mentions Black Lives Matter, although the connection between Black Lives Matter and anti-police violence has not been established. For the FBI to identify “Black Identity Extremists” as domestic terrorists is to declare war on black people. After all, what does it mean to be a “Black Identity Extremist”? Does it mean we love our Blackness and refuse to back down when we are attacked? Does it mean that we revel in our identity and use every available platform (thank you, Colin Kaepernick) to lift our voices up against injustice? Why is this embrace of Blackness so frightening to

melanin-deficient people? They prefer us silent, docile, grateful, acquiescent. They demand no such acquiescence from their melanin-impaired friends who gleefully walk through civilized streets of places like Charlottesville and parry racist chants like “you will not replace us, Jews will not replace us.” That’s domestic terrorism, Beauregard!

Call it like it is instead of inventing a Black movement that does not exist.

Andrew Cohen wrote about the FBI report for the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University and reports that “there is no “BIE movement,” but in the fertile mind of those within the Trump administration that want you to believe there is some sinister Black force out there bent on attacking police officers. No journalists or academics have discovered and chronicled such a movement or its leaders.

No such leaders have come forward to say they are part of such a movement. No one has killed a cop in the name of such a movement. The only citations to the movement, the Foreign Policy piece tells us, come from “internal law enforcement writings made over the past two months.”

Journalist Sam Fulwood

We’re Americans, too!

Throughout #45’s campaign, he made a great issue about “Making America Great Again” and “America(ns) First.” Those who voted for him obviously believed him. Given his professed preeminence for everything American, it is reasonable to think that after a natural disaster he would take a noholds-barred, equitable approach to providing relief to our citizens.

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria have had dreadful impact upon millions. There are those, like #45, who believe that there has been an appropriate response to those affected.

Just as many believe that his response to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands has been tepid and measured more critically than his response to mainland relief. The truth of this informs us who #45 considers “real Americans.”

It’s been said that past actions are the best indicators of character, temperament and future behavior. If that is fact, the past animus of #45 toward people of color would end the discussion. We could say with some level of confidence that, to #45, people of color are not top tier Americans. I know it would not be fair to judge him solely on past actions. People can change. After all, it’s reasonable to assume that a majority of the Electoral College believed him

capable of the personal growth necessary to become President of ALL the people.

Seemingly, his deeds undermine the trust of the Electoral College. After these disasters, his tone and subtleties have indicated a lack of belief in the unanimity and equality of our citizens.

Dr. E. Faye Williams When we objectively compare the relief response to Harvey and Maria, we know that discrimination HAS occurred. Our only challenge is determining why. #45 and his cronies would decry racial/ ethnic animus, but let’s think beyond their assertions.

Logic informs us that importance is assessed by the attention received. After Harvey, #45 took only four days for his first visit to Texas. Six days later, he visited again. In contrast, it took him two weeks to visit Puerto Rico after it was ravaged by storms. Initial video from the Virgin Islands depicted damage on par with Puerto Rico, yet I’ve not heard of an official administration visit. Just call this one Conflicted Priorities.

When #45 visited Texas, he promised his unconditional long-term support to those affected by Harvey. Only a few days later, his VP echoed the same sentiment/promise of support for a resolution that could be measured in years. Yet, when #45 visited, Puerto Rico he famously stated, “I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you

threw our budget a little out of whack.” Rather than a focus on the 3.5 million Americans on the island who were, and still mostly remain, without shelter, power, and lacking fresh water and food, he expressed his real concern.

Although we’ve been admonished by #45 to consider any news not sourced by FOX or BREITBART to be fake, I have trust in reports that, nearly two months after Harvey devastated Texas, FEMA still maintains a strong presence there. This has also been confirmed to me by family in the region.

Conversely, in a recent tweet, #45 states, “...We cannot keep FEMA, the Military and the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!.” I still hear little or no reference to the Virgin Islands from #45! Call that one Blatant Indifference!

From tossing paper towels (like bones to animals) to blowing-off fervent appeals for more aggressive relief from San Juan’s mayor, to threatening to add the cost of relief to Puerto Rico’s existing debt, #45 has made clear that race/ ethnicity is the main distinction he uses to differentiate between “real Americans” and, I guess, “fake Americans.” While our ability to confront this may be limited, we - ALL of US – must RESIST #45 in every way, every day!

III, writing for the Center for American Progress blog, Think Progress, (https://thinkprogress. org/fbi-targets-black-activists83628a5eb611/) describes the FBI report as an “ominous siren call coinciding with President Donald Trump’s penchant for stoking racial divisions in the country.”

This so-called BIE nonsense is diabolically racist and pathologically creative. It suggests that any Black person who has issues with so-called law enforcement is suspect. I stand with my people who choose to protest ignorance, ugliness and nonsense. Those who embrace their Black identity are not terrorists, we are healthily self-confident.

Confederate statues belong in museums As shown in Charlottesville, the monument controversy can have some dangerous results.

Here in Richmond, the police and other law enforcement had time to prepare for the rally.

There were no deaths and only a few arrests. I guess each side of the controversy is passionate in their beliefs.

My idea for a solution is

as follows: Take down all Confederate statues on Monument Avenue and store them in a museum where those who admire them can still admire them. Let the museum be one that all people on each side can see, learn from and study them.

Replace the statues with people who helped build this

Commonwealth and nation.

There are many. This approach will remove from the public’s eye the hate and division that exist now.

We live in a different time and a different culture in this generation. The monuments on Monument Avenue do not reflect progress in this generation and others. They reflect hate,

Marching for accountability I want to thank the Richmond Free Press for allowing your personnel to attend our Oct. 10 March for Accountability and thereby placing a photo of some of the marchers in your newspaper.

However, the title given to the photo “Rallying for rights” — is totally off base.

This was a March for Accountability. Two dozen organizations joined together to send a message to our elected officials that we intend to hold them accountable to the needs of our community and to the promises they made when they asked for our vote.

Yes, part of the story is that we want the Confederate statutes to come down, but we also want the Shockoe Bottom Memorial Park to be built.

We want more accountability and stability with the money being allocated toward our schools.

We want accountability for the money being spent to expand public transportation for a choice few, but not being extended to the neighborhoods that need the transportation the most, all the while increasing service in areas presently using public transportation.

We want accountability and transparency in the RRHA, all while they are destabilizing

public housing.

We want accountability from our elected officials who sat in town hall meetings when they were running for office and aligned their platform with the demands we are now speaking out for.

These two dozen organizations are speaking as a coalition and we intend to keep coming to meetings held by City Council, the mayor, governor and General Assembly and demand accountability as “We the People.”

The photo and caption played down the exertion of our 2.3-mile march — which took place in spite of predicted thunderstorms — and did very little to send a message to any elected official showing our frustration and disappointment.

I believe the Free Press should tell the story accurately. This march was not about “rallying for rights.” It was a March for Accountability from the community to our elected officials.

We will hold them accountable.

Stars continue to align for VUU Virginia Union University is headed to Bowie State with a four-game winning streak, the wind at its back and yet another overnight sensation in its evolving rotation.

Coach Mark James’ Panthers are now 5-2 overall (4-0 in CIAA) after routing Chowan 35-10 on Oct. 14 at Hovey Field.

In rolling up yardage, points and victories, VUU hasn’t left much room for doubt.

Convincingly, it has defeated four CIAA foes in a row by 71 combined points, while averaging 39 points on offense.

Weekly it seems, new stars pop up.

The latest to shine is Jaiden Reavis, a 5-foot-9 freshman from powerhouse Highland Springs High.

Reavis, in his first significant action, snared three TD passes and caught five balls overall for 129 yards.

The newcomer struck quick, catching 43and 52-yard TD aerials from Eric Caldwell in the first quarter.

He later added a 20-yard score from Darius Taylor, who came off the bench to finish with three TD tosses.

“He’s small but has a big heart and a lot of energy, and he’s a good route runJaiden Reavis ner,” Coach James said of Reavis.

If you’re a VUU foe, who do you concentrate on covering?

Seven different Panthers have at least one TD catch.

Reavis is one of five freshmen to join VUU off the Springers’ juggernaut that has won back-to-back State 5A titles. Others are lineman D’Angelo Williams, Coach James Jackson, Jordan Wall and Bryan Epps.

It helps that Highland Springs High School activities director is Michael Bailey, former VUU athletic director, football coach and player. James was a teammate of Bailey’s at VUU. Also working in VUU’s favor is the fact that Highland Spring’s Coach Loren Johnson has Florida roots, like Coach James.

VUU has plenty of weapons and will need all of them at Bowie in a pivotal CIAA Northern Division tussle.

The Panthers need a victory to keep pace with Virginia State in the division and force a possible winner-take-all showdown with the Trojans on Nov. 4 in Ettrick.

Sophomore Sterling Hammond made 11 tackles and added his fifth interception against Chowan (2-5, 2-2), but a stiffer test awaits in Maryland.

Hammond and the rest of the VUU secondary will have their hands full at Bowie covering throws of CIAA passing leader Amir Hall.

Another difference maker for VUU on offense has been of-

James Haskins/Richmond Free Press

VUU’s Chazton McKenzie, left, carries the ball Saturday with Chowan’s Bryan Bryant in close pursuit.

fensive lineman Shamdu Nalls, a 6-foot-4, 330-pounder out of Baltimore.

Nalls’ pile-driving blocks have helped the Panthers average 397 yards per game — 219 passing, 178 overland.

VUU also feels it has an advantage kicking with Jefferson Souza. The freshman from Deerfield, Fla., is 27-for-27 on extra points (5-for-5 vs. Chowan), and 6-for-9 on field goals.

A Bowie victory would provide VUU bona fide title aspirations, and even fuel NCAA hopes. A loss would be damaging, but not necessarily fatal.

Regardless of the outcome at Bowie, VUU’s regular season finale at VSU might still determine the North’s representative to the CIAA’s Nov. 11 championship game in Salem.

VUU is overdue for a crown. The Panthers haven’t won a CIAA football title since 2001.

VSU’s yearlong wins unbroken Defeat? What’s that?

Virginia State University may have forgotten what losing even tastes like. It’s been more than a calendar year since it was on the wrong side of a football score.

The VSU Trojans have won 10 straight games over the past two years and are 6-0 for 2017 after topping Bowie State 4735 before a festive homecoming crowd of 17,092 in Ettrick last Saturday.

Also, a national audience got a peek at the the Trojans’ dominance via Aspire TV. Coach Reggie Barlow’s squad will likely extend its winning streak Oct. 21 when it travels to the Philadelphia area to play Lincoln, a winless outfit that VSU beat 69-7 last year.

Failure is a distant memory for the Men of Troy.

VSU’s last setback was Oct. 15, 2016, when it lost to Bowie, 38-37.

That must have really made the Trojans mad. Since then they’ve made life miserable for their opponents.

The Trojans finished the 2016 season with four straight victories, averaging 53 points per game.

It’s been more of the same this year.

After opening with a 14-10 win at FCS Norfolk State, the Trojans have averaged 47 points in ousting five Division II foes.

Even Bowie, ranked No. 14 nationally in NCAA Division II coming in, couldn’t keep up.

Players who dominated the field were Trenton Cannon, Cordelral Cook and Brandon Lynch.

Cannon, on a mission to become VSU’s all-time ground gainer, rushed for 234 yards, featuring a 93-yard touchdown dash down the sidelines that revved up the heartbeat of the old grads.

Cook, the gifted transfer from Alabama State, passed for two touchdowns and ran for three more. Lynch had 11 tackles, including a sack.

Bowie had no answers. Relentlessly, VSU amassed 596 yards in total offense.

VSU’s Trenton Cannon evades a Bowie State defender Saturday in Ettrick.

Bowie quarterback Amir Hall passed for 281 yards and five touchdowns, but was sacked five times, threw an interception and lost a fumble.

The CIAA’s passing leader spent much of the day either on the turf or throwing while on the run to avoid the rush. Hall was a top candidate for the hot tub once the Bulldogs returned to Maryland.

Still, VSU is no lock to reach the CIAA’s championship game Nov. 11 in Salem.

James Haskins/ Richmond Free Press

The Trojans’ Nov. 4 match with Virginia Union (playing at Bowie this week) could determine a Northern berth and possibly an NCAA bid.

The VUU-VSU game will be in Ettrick, which is not good for visitors. Since Barlow’s arrival, VSU is undefeated at Rogers Stadium.

St. Augustine’s, surprisingly, is in the driver’s seat in the South following a 17-14 upset in Raleigh over two-time defending CIAA champion Winston-Salem State.

Affordable Life Insurance Yvonne Luster

Personality: Timika Cousins

Insurance Representative VA License #598357 804-674-7685 yluster5001@gmail.com

Spotlight on founder of The Faces Behind The Purpose For You Personal tragedy led Timika Cousins to become an advocate against domestic violence after her beloved cousin was murdered by an abusive husband in 2014.

“My cousin was always a happy-go-lucky person,” says Ms. Cousins. “She did not tell us what she was going through so we did not know what was taking place in her home life. I was in shock and terrified after her death. Then it became my calling and in my spirit to speak out and educate my community about domestic violence. I wanted to understand the many ways domestic violence can show up in relationships.”

Ms. Cousins’concern — and compassion — led her to create The Faces Behind The Purpose For You, an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. Two months after the organization was formed in August 2016, Ms. Cousins presented “Slay for a Purpose Fashion Show” to raise awareness and funds to support these victims.

Armed with the success of last year’s show, which sold out and attracted about 200 people, Ms. Cousins is excited about this year’s show on Saturday, Oct. 28.

“Some of our models are victims of abuse and we do a makeover for them,” says Ms. Cousins. “We show them, through fashion, that they are beautiful and they are still somebody.”

The event, which takes place during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, will provide more than fashion and entertainment, says Ms. Cousins. It also will be informative and uphold her organization’s mission to educate others about domestic violence and its effect on individuals and families “in every community, regardless of age, economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race or nationality.”

Abuse comes in many forms, including emotional, psychological, financial, sexual, physical and spiritual, says Ms. Cousins. Abusers employ various methods to exert power and control over their victims.

“Abuse happens to men, women, siblings and in friendships, and it’s important to note that domestic violence doesn’t always manifest in one specific way, but comes in a lot of signs and layers,” says Ms. Cousins.

“I tell people to put your relationship on a trial basis.

Take time to get to know each other better. Ask questions.

Find out about the person’s background. Take note of abusive signs — pushing, fighting, hitting, harsh language or being defensive.”

Combating abusive power and control isn’t easy, which leads the organization’s outreach director and volunteers to enter high-risk communities to conduct awareness workshops, advocacy and training for people involved in domestic disputes and violence.

“Our programs include oneon-one mentoring, tutoring, financial counseling — showing people how to save money in order to get out of their situation where they are solely dependent on the abuser,” says Ms. Cousins.

Résumé-building services and job-seeking strategies for victims in need of employment are also provided.

“The key is to build victims’ self-esteem, and we educate them about the red flags of abuse through scenarios about the signs and layers of abuse,” she says. “It’s easy for someone to tell you to leave or just go, but it’s not that easy when you are in that situation.”

The Faces Behind the Purpose For You offers prevention services in Richmond and Chesterfield and Henrico counties.

While the fashion show is a way to raise awareness about the organization, it also honors individuals who have survived

domestic violence and remembers those who have died.

“I want people to know The Faces Behind The Purpose is here for you as an organization,” says Ms. Cousins. “You can trust us. Many women coming for help do not have that trust and it is hard work building that trust.”

Meet this week’s Personality, advocate against domestic violence and founder of The Faces Behind The Purpose, Timika Cousins: Occupation: Customer service representative, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Date of birth: Dec. 12, 1978.

Current residence: City of Richmond.

Education: John Marshall High School.

Family: One son, Stanley Fields III, 15; one daughter, Mia Cousins, 11.

When and why The Faces Behind a Purpose for You was founded: The Faces Behind a Purpose for You was founded on Aug. 23, 2016. The organization was founded because of my cousin, Lisa Hester Morgan, who lost her life in 2014 due to domestic violence.

Although she’s my cousin our relationship was more that of a niece and aunt. It’s because of victims like Lisa, also known as Claire, that motivates us in reaching out to the community and providing services to others in efforts to prevent and bring awareness to domestic violence and sexual abuse.

Inspiration for its name: Because of my cousin’s death, I was inspired to bring awareness to domestic violence while helping survivors and their immediate families. Ultimately, The Faces Behind a Purpose for You is the face for Lisa Morgan and all domestic victims and survivors.

The Faces Behind a Purpose for You foremost mission: Our purpose is to give individuals the opportunity to learn from their circumstances and understand that they can continue to progress in positive ways and in positive settings despite past experiences. The Faces Behind a Purpose for You intervenes through advocacy. Our organization works with individuals to assess their needs while serving as a resource or as a liaison between them and other available resources.

Strategy for achieving mission: To educate people about the signs of domestic violence, to be diligent in relationship building within our communities, and to provide resources within the school systems.

Our strategy is simple: The Faces Behind a Purpose for You is a dedicated resource to those victims of domestic violence and their immediate families.

Why I am excited about this organization: Our organization continues to make great progress. We are amazed at the progress we’ve achieved in just one year. God has truly blessed our organization to be a major resource for families as far away as Dallas. We are even more excited about 2018.

Dream for organization:

Among the many shortand long-term goals we have for our organization is to secure several transitional homes in Richmond and other localities.

How I define “domestic violence”: We will be here all day if I offered my definition of domestic violence. There are so many layers and dimensions of domestic violence. However, I will define domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over another person. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, spiritual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person.

This includes any behavior that intimidates, manipulates, humiliates, isolates, frightens, terrorizes, coerces, threatens, blames, hurts, injures or wounds someone.

The reason domestic violence exists is: Lack of knowledge about the signs of an unhealthy relationship.

Another factor is a lack of communication skills when it comes to resolving conflict, which continues to contribute to the high murder rates in our cities. A significant percentage of those numbers are derived from incidents of domestic violence.

Number of people served since 2016: Six cases. Most frequently requested service: Safety planning and home replacement, which is ultimately why we desire a transitional home.

Our support comes from: Much of my support comes from my mother, Sandra Cousins, my family and various community advocates. However, Mr. Maurice Tyler, founder of C.A.V.E. (Coaches Against Violence Everywhere) continues to (be a supporter) and is someone who strives for excellence within the city of Richmond. I cannot leave out my executive board and organization group members. Without their support, there is no me.

Number of volunteers: Two. Our biggest challenge: Not enough hours in the day to bring awareness to domestic violence because our hearts beat to save everyone.

We could do more if: We had additional support from people in the community and more hours in a day.

If I could have one wish, it would be: To cease domestic violence across the nation.

How I start the day: Talking to “the man upstairs” and a cup of coffee.

A quote that I am inspired by: I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed. And have a blessed day everybody!!!

If I had more time, I would: Spend most of my time in the communities and in the schools educating our future leaders about anger management, conflict resolution and leadership skills.

Best late-night snack: Grapes.

Person who influenced me the most: My grandmother, Louise Morgan.

The book that infl uenced me the most: “Become a Successful Life Coach” by Brenna Pearce and Allan M. Heller.

What I’m reading now: “ S a n d ’s C a s t l e : G o i n g Through in Order To Get

There,” a book about domestic violence by Sandra Camp of Dover, Del. My next goal: To obtain our first transitional home.

Charter schools debate continues

Are charter schools a threat to public education?

That issue will be the focus of a two-part program titled “Protecting Public Education” that will feature a panel discussion and the screening of a documentary about the cost of privatizing education, “Backpack Full of Cash,” it has been announced.

Two churches, Third Street Bethel AME Church in Jackson Ward and First Unitarian Universalist Church near Byrd Park, are teaming up to host the events over the next two weeks. The programs will be free and open to the public.

First up will be the panel discussion from 6 to 8 pm. Thursday, Oct. 26, at Third Street Bethel, 3rd and Jackson streets. The panelists are to include the Rev. Ben Campbell, a member of the Richmond Public Schools Foundation and other programs to support city schools; Dr. James H. Hershman Jr., a historian from Georgetown University; and two educators, Sabin Duncan, execu-

tive director of Virginia State University’s Student Success Initiative; and Dr. Helen Stiff-Williams, an education professor at Regent University.

Kimberly Quick, education policy associate at The Century Foundation, is to moderate.

The Richmond Branch NAACP and the Virginia Education Association are sponsoring the event. The film on charter schools is scheduled to be screened from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2, at First Unitarian, 1000 Blanton Ave. Several groups are sponsoring the event, including Richmond Teachers for Social Justice, Support Richmond Public Schools, the Richmond Education Association, the Richmond Council of PTAs and the Mu Lambda Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an education honor society.

The Rev. Gil Caldwell spoke Wednesday at Duke Divinity School, 60 years after he was denied admission because of his race.

Civil rights leader urges Duke Divinity to confront its past Trump speaks at event hosted by hate group Free Press wires

Free Press wire report

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, President Trump spoke to a hate group last week — and he was a hit.

The Family Research Council, which is on the SPLC hate group list, invited the 45th president to speak at the Values Voter Summit, an annual socially conservative conference. This proved to be a political layup for President Trump, the first sitting president to speak at the conference, amid the turmoil surrounding his administration.

A key focal point to the address was the so-called war on Christmas. President Trump vowed that, under his lead, department stores across the country will return to acknowledging the Christmas holiday.

“You go into a department store. When was the last time you saw ‘Merry Christmas?’

You don’t see it anymore,” Trump said. “They want to be politically correct. If I’m president, you will see ‘Merry Christmas’in department stores, believe me, believe me.”

While the majority of Americans do celebrate Christmas, many do not take holiday greetings as personally as President Trump evidently does. According to the Pew Research Center, “46 percent of Americans say it doesn’t matter how stores greet their customers over the holidays.”

Regardless, President Trump wentfurtherintothereligiousdebate by claiming that Judeo-Christian values are under attack.

“America is a nation of believers and together we are

strengthened and sustained by the power of prayer,” he said.

A little under a quarter of the American population identifies as religiously unaffiliated, according to Pew, with the percentage of those who do not align with a specific faith on the rise.

When President Trump was done bashing department stores, he pivoted to bashing his friends on Capitol Hill. He used the crowd to push for action on replacing the Affordable Care Act. This comes on the heels of his decision to roll back an Obamacare requirement to provide birth control as part of health insurance programs.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, applauded that decision, saying that the president is committed to “undoing the anti-faith policies of the previous administration and restoring true religious freedom.”

President Trump’s statements on Christmas and birth control issues reiterated his theme, adding, “We don’t worship government; we worship God.”

He walks with a cane and proudly acknowledges his age — 83.

But the Rev. Gil Caldwell, best known as “a foot soldier” in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s army, is not about to retire his lifelong fight for racial justice.

When Duke Divinity School invited him to speak Wednesday during morning chapel services, he saw an opportunity to ask whether Duke was willing to confront its past.

More than 60 years ago, the divinity school denied him admission because he is black. Speaking at a service in Goodson Chapel, he asked: “What is it that God would have Duke Divinity School do in light of that history? For if one is not honest about that history, one can’t be fully present.”

Divinity School Dean Elaine Heath acknowledged that history in introducing Rev. Caldwell, saying the school wanted to “reckon with its inglorious past.” Later, over lunch, she, Rev. Caldwell and a group of Duke Divinity School students talked about racial healing.

Rev. Caldwell recounted that in the early 1950s, he was studying as an undergraduate at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, about 50 miles to the west, when he felt a call to ministry.

Duke, which is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, seemed like a good fit for Rev. Caldwell, who is Methodist. But back in 1955, he told the students, the rejection letter he received said the trustees had not changed their policies on racial segregation.

“They hoped that I would find a seminary that would meet my needs,” he said, recalling the letter.

Rev. Caldwell attended Boston University’s School of Theology instead and there met Dr.

King, who led him to a life protesting racial injustice. Rev. Caldwell marched alongside Dr. King to protest school segregation in Boston, to rally for jobs on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in 1963 and to register black voters in the Selma to Montgomery, Ala., march in 1965.

More recently, Rev. Caldwell has taken up the call for LGBTQ rights, championing full inclusion in the United Methodist Church, where he is a retired elder.

Rev. Caldwell is executive producer of the documentary “From Selma to Stonewall: Are We There Yet?,” which was to be screened Wednesday at a different Duke venue. The film follows Rev. Caldwell and LGBTQ activist Marilyn Bennett, who directed the movie, in an exploration of the similarities and differences between the black civil rights and LGBTQ rights movements.

“For me, he reflects a generation of clergy who have their pulse on the need for social justice,” said the Rev. Carl Kenney, an AfricanAmerican graduate of Duke Divinity School, speaking of Rev. Caldwell.

Today, five of the divinity school’s 42 faculty members are African-American and 95 of its 608 students reported that they were either African-American or black.

Rev. Caldwell urged the school to do more by offering classes that explore the psychology behind racial and sexual injustice.

He recalled the story of Jesus meeting an invalid at a healing pool. When Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be healed, the man gave an excuse: “I have no one to help me into the pool.

Jesus told him to “pick up his bed and walk.”

“I guess I ask the divinity school at this point:Are you willing to pick up your bed and walk?”

Richmond Christian Center to be sold

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

Will it remain a church, but under a different name? Or will it be sold for development?

These questions will soon be answered about the property in the 200 block of Cowardin Avenue in South Side where the Richmond Christian Center has made its home for 32 years.

With fewer than 150 members remaining, RCC is facing the forced sale of its 5-acre holdings, mainly a former car dealership and service center and parking lots.

The sale would close out an unsuccessful four-year effort to emerge from bankruptcy, a saga that began in November 2013 and included the dismissal of its founding pastor, Stephen A. Parson Sr. Seeking to write the final chapter, Bruce Matson, the trustee appointed to oversee the church by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, has secured permission to decide between two bidders — an independent church, United Nations Church International, which is seeking expansion room, and Genesis Properties LLC, an apartment development company in Richmond.

Mr. Matson told Judge Keith L. Phillips that he would make his decision based on the best interests of the RCC congregation and its creditors and deliver it to the court on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Richmond Free Press Photo

The fate of the Richmond Christian Center is expected to be announced once the trustee appointed to oversee the church decides whether the Cowardin Avenue property should be sold to United Nations Church International or Genesis Properties LLC.

The trustee told the court he expects the sale to be finalized before the new year to pay off about $2.5 million in remaining debt, including more than $2.1 million that RCC still owes its lender, Foundation Capital Resources.

The trustee’s push to sell has forestalled FCR, the RCC lender, from being granted permission to foreclose since RCC stopped paying on the loan a few months ago.

Judge Phillips cleared the way for Mr. Matson to proceed after rejecting a final effort by Mr. Parson to gain reinstatement as pastor.

In court Oct. 5, Mr. Parson told Judge Phillips that neither he nor anyone else had authority to remove him as pastor and that he should be allowed to return to the RCC pulpit.

Judge Phillips rejected the request, telling Mr. Parson that it was contradictory that he would request reinstatement by the court while claiming the court had no authority to remove him.

Mr. Matson did not disclose the bids that have

been submitted to him. The city values the RCC property at about $4 million for tax purposes, though the church is exempt from paying city property taxes as a religious organization.

Since becoming involved in 2015, Mr. Matson has supported RCC’s efforts to survive and even developed a reorganization plan he hoped would help the congregation get the church back on its financial feet.

RCC officials are privately hoping that Mr. Matson’s past support could aid the 700-member

UNCI, which Bishop Orrin K. Pullings Sr. leads with his wife, Dr. Medina Pullings. UNCI has affiliates in four other cities.

The Pullings founded the non-denominational UNCI in New York in 1996 and launched the Richmond affiliate that they currently pastor in 2003. Other affiliated churches operating under the UNCI banner are located in Atlanta, Charlotte and Fredericksburg, along with two churches in Queens, New York, including the first church that the Pullings founded. UNCI also has a church in Uganda.

While Bishop Pullings could not be reached for comment, RCC sources said that his goal is to merge RCC with his church and to maintain the property as a faith center under the United Nations Church banner. His purchase also could mean stability for other churches and small businesses that rent space on the RCC campus, as Bishop Pullings apparently is interested in keeping the independent entities on the RCC campus to help cover the cost of the purchase.

Currently, about 18 for-profit and nonprofit groups are renting space at RCC, officials have said.

Rhonda Hickman, chair of the RCC board of trustees, declined to comment on the future of RCC. Meanwhile, Genesis is eyeing the property for additional development. The company already has been involved in developments east of the church at Hatcher Tobacco Flats at 151 W. Commerce Road and the Lofts at Trolley Station at 212 W. 7th St. The company did not respond to a request for comment.

Caleb Grimes stands out for Benedictine

By Fred Jeter

Caleb Grimes is planning a career in the Navy. In the meantime, he’s giving his opponents on the football field a bad case of the blues.

Trying to bring down Grimes is like trying to tackle a tidal wave. The Benedictine Prep senior running back is powerful, relentless and self-assured.

“I’ve never lacked confidence,” the 5-foot-10, 200-pound Grimes said. “I feel like when I get to the outside, I’m the most explosive runner in Virginia.”

Cadets Coach Greg Lilly puts it like this. “I’m not saying that Caleb is looking to run over people, but he’s got speed and power and it’s like he’s going downhill.

He’s a hard guy to tackle.”

While Grimes is a powerhouse on the gridiron, he’s “all smiles, ‘yes sirs’ and ‘no sirs’ ” around campus, Coach Lilly said.

“Caleb is a pleasure to coach,” he said.

“He leads by example. He has the respect of his teammates.”

His young life is well mapped out.

The son of Ricky and Natasha Grimes of Midlothian has received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he will play NCAA Division I Middies football starting in 2019 while likely majoring in political science.

Prior to reporting to the academy in Annapolis, Md., he will spend a school year honing his credentials at the Naval

Preparatory School in Newport, R.I. Grimes chose the Navy over numerous offers from other big football schools in the FBS and FCS. West Point and the Air Force Academy also expressed interest.

“It wasn’t just a four-year decision. It was a lifetime decision,” Grimes said of picking the prestigious military academy.

“By going in the Navy, I’ll do things other people will never be able to do.

And I’ll be better able to take care of my family.”

A native of Buckingham County, Grimes lived briefly in Charlotte, N.C., before moving to Chesterfield and enrolling at Cosby High School. He transferred to the all-male Benedictine — a Catholic military school in Goochland County — during the spring semester of his sophomore season.

“My parents made a big sacrifice to send me here,” he said. “It made me more focused, more responsible, a better student.”

He quickly established himself on the football field and in the classroom.

Last fall, Grimes ran 1,369 yards for 15 touchdowns in just 10 games, helping take the Cadets to the State Virginia Independent Schools Division I final.

He was just getting his groove on. In his first five games this season, he piled up 596 yards and nine touchdowns, including a breathtaking 94-yard run in Benedictine’s 48-7 win Sept. 29 over visiting Bishop O’Connell High School of Arlington.

Through six games, Grimes has rushed

for 645 yards on 88 carries, with nine touchdowns. The Cadets are 4-2 and will host Woodberry Forest on Friday, Oct. 21 at noon.

He has proven speed on the track, too, having covered 100 meters in 11.9 seconds and 200 meters in 22.8 seconds.

Academically, Grimes boasts a 3.0 GPA in all college-bound courses. His busy fall schedule includes anatomy, government, Spanish III, English, statistics, geology and military science.

While brimming with confidence, Grimes is quick to share the spotlight with teammates. He points to his backup, junior DeAndre Tobias, as “someone who’s going to get a lot of (college) offers.”

He singled out precocious freshman Jay Woolfolk as “the best athlete on the team.”

And he wouldn’t conclude an interview without making sure a reporter jotted down the names of his burly offensive linemen — Daric Cotman, Jaymere Fleming, Cole Simon, Brian Daughtry, Dominic Pastore and Jack Hall.

He even eyeballed a reporter’s notepad to ensure all the names were accounted for.

“I’ve got a great line,” he insisted.

Grimes’ No. 1 goal as a senior is to win a State VIS title, something the Cadets were one victory short of a year ago.

Then he can sing “Anchors Aweigh” as he sails off into the more nautical chapter of his life.

• It was presumptuous in 1903 for organizers to label the first Fall Classic the World Series, since all players were U.S. born.

So much has changed. Now, fans from all over the world can refer to it as the World Series, and say it as if they really mean it.

Most of today’s baseball stars hail from the wealthier, majoritywhite suburbs, but that’s not the case from a global perspective.

If you’re good enough, the scouts will find you regardless of income.

And it doesn’t seem to matter where you grow up, as proven by the New York Yankees’ Didi Gregorious, or how tiny you are, as evidenced by Houston’s Jose Altuve.

The son of a carpenter, Gregorious was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, which is known more for wooden shoes than wooden bats.

His family moved to Curacao, a small Caribbean island, and it was there where, as a child, he honed his skills and drew bigleague attention, even from so far away.

Today, as the New York Yankee’s shortstop, the one-time “Dutch Boy” has become the “Next Derek Jeter.”

Now a hit on Broadway, Gregorious belted Didi Gregorius two home runs Oct. 11, leading the Yanks past Cleveland to advance to the American League finals.

One more thing about Gregorious: He speaks four languages — Dutch, Papiamento, English and Spanish. Then there also is the international tongue of “diamond-ese.”

Altuve grew up — but only “up” to 5-foot-6 — near Maracay, Venezuela. As a teenager he attended an Astros tryout camp and was told “sorry son, you’re too small.”

He wouldn’t take no for an answer.

The next day he returned to the camp — minus an invitation — and was impressive enough to be signed, but only for a meager $15,000.

Nowadays, Altuve is arguably baseball’s premier hitter, having won the AL batting title for three of the last four years, including .345 this go-round.

He was brilliant in the recent divisional series, socking three homers in one game as the Astros beat Boston to advance to the AL finals.

The diminutive second baseman from a continent away is shortest major leaguer since 5-foot-5 Fred Patek in 1981.

Altuve stands out for being the least in height, but also for being the first in hits and first in the hearts of little guys all over the world.
