Team Rwanda visits Woodville Elementary School

By Joey Matthews

The four riders on the Team Rwanda cycling team that is competing in this week’s UCI Road World Championships made hundreds of new fans Wednesday morning when they visited students at Woodville Elementary School in Richmond’s East End. Youngsters from second through fifth grades eagerly lined the halls to meet the cyclists from the small central African country, whose name means “land of a thousand hills.”

Members of the team, three young men — Bonaventure

Uwizeyimana, Valens Ndayisenga and Jean Bosco Nsengimana and a young woman, Jeanne D’arc Girubuntu — walked down the halls exchanging greetings and high-fives with the wideeyed children.

“This is so much fun,” said one student as she shyly reached out to one of the cyclists.

“The people here are so friendly,” marveled Mr. Uwizeyimana, who is scheduled to compete along with his two teammates in Friday’s Men’s Under 23 Road Circuit.

Ms. Girubuntu, 20, made history on Tuesday, according to team publicist Kimberly Coats, when she competed in the

Gerald “Junior” Burr Jr. likely swells with pride every time he crosses the Manchester Bridge and sees the newest addition to the city’s skyline — the 19-story Gateway Plaza building that formally opened this week His company, Canterbury Enterprises Inc., played an important part in the two-year development of the glass-faced, high-rise structure that sits in the block bounded by 8th, 9th, Cary and Canal streets — the new home of the McGuireWoods law firm, its consulting arm and several other companies.

Canterbury’s name was showcased on a huge banner on the building during construction that began in 2013. Essentially, the company stood first among the 23 minority-owned businesses that officials said participated in constructing the building and its accompanying 506-space parking deck.

“We’ve made this a cultural outreach and used it as an opportunity to teach the children about Rwanda,” she added.

Pope Francis, right, receives a presidential welcome as he arrives Tuesday at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington. President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, applaud as the pontiff comes down the steps.

Pope Francis urged the United States to help tackle climate change and touched on other divisive U.S. political issues such as immigration and economic inequality on his first visit to the world’s richest nation.

In a speech Wednesday on the White House South Lawn, the Argentine pontiff — known as “The People’s Pope” — lauded President Obama’s efforts to reduce air pollution, months after Pope Francis made the environment one of his top issues by issuing a landmark encyclical letter to the church.

“It seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history,” the pope said at a welcoming ceremony.

House blocked for female felons

Morrissey fails to withdraw officially

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

City Councilwoman Ellen F. Robertson has been a champion of affordable housing during her 11 years on City Council.

The 6th District representative, who previously led a nonprofit housing group in the Highland Park area, has been a staunch advocate for creation of lower-cost homes and apartments for working people and others.

Ms. Robertson also chairs the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund Oversight Board and has overseen the award of $1.9 million in city funds in the past year to support lower-cost rental units in five developments.

However, Mrs. Robertson has quietly blocked development in her district of a group home, called The Hampton House, for women who have been released from state prison.

The plan, developed by former teacher and human resources manager Gwendolyn H. MacClenahan, sought to respond to the hardship women can face in trying to find a place to live after incarceration, particularly if they have lost family support.

When the Free Press asked Ms. Robertson why she opposed Hampton House, her response was: “Do you have the addresses of all facilities of similar much-needed services in the city, Henrico, and Chesterfield? Please forward. Thanks.”

Ms. MacClenahan is disappointed and puzzled.

“She didn’t want it in her district,” Ms. MacClenahan said.

“Ms. Robertson never told me that explicitly, but that was the gist of what others told me about her position.”

Even though more than 150 nearby residents, church representatives and business owners signed a petition supporting her plan to open the structured group home at 2414 4th Ave. in Highland Park, Ms. MacClenahan has scratched the proposal.

“If the council member is against it, there’s no way it can go through,” she said.

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

She needed Ms. Robertson’s support because the house is zoned R-6, or a single-family district. City law allows only three unrelated people to live in such a house, except when the home is for people who are mentally disabled. A state law, which supersedes local zoning, allows up to eight such mentally disabled people to live together in a single-family house.

Ms. MacClenahan would have needed City Council to approve a special use permit to allow Hampton House to open. She said she dropped her application, believing it would be futile to spend $1,800 to go through the process only to meet rejection.

The 54-year-old said she learned about the need for living

Two weeks ago, attorney Joseph D. “Joe” Morrissey told the Free Press and other news outlets he was ending his campaign for the state Senate because of a health issue.

However, Mr. Morrissey has not provided the Virginia Department of Elections with an official notice of his withdrawal from the contest in the state’s 16th Senate District against incumbent Sen. Rosalyn R. Dance, a Democrat of Petersburg.

Mr. Morrissey, who is listed as an independent, confirmed Monday that he has not sent a withdrawal letter to the department or to the state Board of Elections, its oversight board.

He is still listed as a candidate on the ballot for the Nov. 3 election.

VEC ruling sets precedent Richmond Public Schools and other employers who fail to follow their agency’s own drug policy cannot prevent alleged violators from collecting unemployment benefits, the Virginia Employment Commission has ruled.

In a precedent-setting case, VEC Special Examiner Susan M. Batte wrote on behalf of the commission that an RPS employee who failed to pass a drug test and was dismissed for cause can qualify for benefits.

The decision overturns a lower VEC administrative judge’s denial of benefits based on the failed drug test.

“The commission takes no issue with the employer’s business decision to discharge the claimant,” Ms. Batte wrote in the Sept.

9 opinion, “However, failure to meet the requirements of its own policy precludes a finding that the claimant was discharged for misconduct.”

The employee, whose name is being withheld to protect her privacy, was hired as a math specialist, but was dismissed five weeks after starting work in late January after testing positive for cocaine. She claimed that she was taking a medication that created a false positive.

RPS contested the employee’s claim to unemployment benefits.

She appealed to the full commission after losing the first round.

Ms. Batte wrote that RPS’ policy requires that all drug testing procedures “shall … be developed in accordance with Procedures for Transportation Workplace Testing Programs,” but she found that the U.S. Department of Transportation procedures were not followed.

RPS “was unable to provide an explanation for why it did not provide the claimant a DOT test as required … but instead relied on upon the understanding” of the contractor who conducts the tests of “past practices.”

That contractor “is not an employee of (RPS) and was not governed by the policy or responsible for enforcing it.

Consequently, the commission concludes that in order for an employer to present a … case of misconduct, it needed to show the sample was collected and performed in accordance with its own policy.”

Ms. Batte added that the VEC strictly construes the policies of an employer contesting unemployment benefits. In the case of RPS, “there is no exception” to the requirement for a DOT drug test in the policy, and, thus, RPS had no justification for not following that policy. — JEREMY M. LAZARUS

Turmoil, charges rock Chesterfield NAACP The president of the Chesterfield County Branch NAACP is facing a charge of assault in the wake of a bizarre incident in which he sought to block a critic from attending a branch meeting, which usually is open to the public.

LaSalle J. McCoy Jr. was arrested Saturday on a misdemeanor charge and released on his own recognizance in the case that has embarrassed both the branch and the state NAACP, Virginia’s oldest and largest civil rights group.

A date has yet to be set for a hearing.

Mr. McCoy, a state NAACP officer who also has been branch president since at least 2009, allegedly assaulted Kandise Lucas on Sept. 15 as she attempted to attend the branch’s monthly meeting at First Baptist Church of Centralia. Fewer than 10 other people were present.

Mr. McCoy, who serves as secretary, previously indicated that the branch encourages interested parties of all races to attend the branch’s meetings, whether members or not.

An NAACP member, Ms. Lucas claims he sought to block her because she had written an email calling for Mr. McCoy’s removal as branch president following his mid-August arrest on a charge of driving while intoxicated. He is charged with having a blood alcohol level between 0.15 to 0.20. Conviction carries a mandatory five-day jail term for first offenders.

The state’s legal blood alcohol limit for driving is 0.08.

That case is set to be heard Monday, Oct. 14, in Chesterfield County.

Neither Mr. McCoy nor his attorney could be reached for comment.

In filing the assault charge, Ms. Lucas alleged that Mr. McCoy “violated my civil rights” and also injured her wrist when he grabbed her at the meeting room’s entryway to prevent her from entering. She is now wearing a brace on her left wrist.

The case has drawn the attention of Jack Gravely, interim president of the state NAACP. In July, he announced the NAACP’s support for Ms. Lucas in her battle against Chesterfield County Public Schools. Ms. Lucas is fighting a trespassing charge the school system brought against her after she was invited by the parent of a special needs student to serve as the student’s advocate at Meadowbridge High School.

Mr. Gravely said Monday that the NAACP holds public meetings and decried any attempt to keep anyone out.

“If someone is disrespected or kept out of a public meeting of the NAACP, as state director of the NAACP, I apologize for that,” he said. — JEREMY M. LAZARUS

Golf tournament to benefit scholarship program A day of golf will help raise money to provide scholarships for deserving Richmond Public Schools students who live in the city’s public housing communities.

Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s “Tomorrow’s Promise Scholarship Golf Tournament” starts 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Providence Golf Club, 1160 S. Providence Road, in Chesterfield County. Registration begins at 8 a.m.

All proceeds raised from the tournament will help RRHA expand Tomorrow’s Promise, which provides $4,000 scholarships for public housing youths.

The early bird registration fee is $80 for a single player or $320 for a team of four by Sept. 30.

This is the new look of Richmond’s Farmers’ Market on 17th Street in Shockoe Bottom.

Most of the green-topped sheds, fixtures since 1986, are gone, creating a more open space for public events. The remaining sheds allow the 236-year-old market to remain in operation. The shed removal, which cost about $88,000, is the first step in a planned $2.5 million facelift for the market, including the installation of promenades and new landscaping.

UCI bikers win fans, friends in the city Continued from A1

Latriece Haskins, a Woodville physical education teacher, organized the meet-and-greet with Team Rwanda. She said the team agreed to visit the school after she reached out to Ms. Coats via email.

She called it “an amazing learning experience” for the children.

“It turns around their thoughts about bike riding being more than just riding to the store, but of being a lifelong hobby and a great way to improve your health,” Ms. Haskins said.

Utilizing the UCI bike races as a learning tool, Woodville students learned of Rwanda’s history of perseverance, its rich culture, its natural beauty and of the four-person bike team that is competing this week against all odds.

The team’s accomplishments in going headto-head against the world’s finest cyclists are even more amazing considering they lack the

financial advantages and training amenities of many of their counterparts. They are funded by the U.S.-based nonprofit Team Africa Rising, whose mission is to unite African countries through cycling, according to its website.

Team Rwanda Cycling began in 2007, according to its website, and has “exponentially grown the sport of cycling in Rwanda, a country torn apart in the 1994 genocide” in which almost 800,000 people were killed.

During their tour of the school, the African visitors gazed at pictures drawn by students of the Rwandan flag and bicycles to welcome them.

The sun in the flag symbolizes the country’s rise above its hardships, Ms. Coats said.

Teachers and other adults at the school took photos of the cyclists as they walked through the school and into the auditorium to field questions from about 60 students in a questionand-answer session.

One youngster asked Mr. Ndayisenga how

The project’s total cost: $120 million, according to McGuireWoods.

Mr. Burr did not respond to email and phone requests for comment ahead of Wednesday’s grand opening ceremony. U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones and McGuireWoods’ Richmond Managing Partner George K. Martin were among the dignitaries who spoke and helped cut the ribbon to cement the building’s place among the Downtown skyscrapers that banks, other big law firms, hotels, government operations and apartments now occupy.

Canterbury’s role is described on the company’s website and in a statement from the developer and general contractor, Clayco of St. Louis, Mo. “Clayco mentored Canterbury throughout the project,” Clayco spokeswoman Sandra Marks stated in responding to a Free Press query on the level of diversity and inclusion in the multimillion-dollar project.

“We brought three of their employees onto our site management team who helped manage every aspect of the project.

They (the three employees) led bid efforts, ran meetings, conducted scope review and interacted with the client,” Ms. Marks stated.

The Canterbury website states that the company served

as a general contractor under Clayco’s direction “for several areas,” such as carpentry, insulation, caulking, waterproofing and door and frame installation.

According to Ms. Marks’ statement, Canterbury’s participation reflected the commitment to diversity on the project, with 68 percent of the workforce being minority or female.

Clayco also reported exceeding the City of Richmond’s goal of having 40 percent of the value of the construction work awarded to minority business enterprises. “Actual results: 42 percent,” Ms. Marks stated.

The city was able to set that goal because it invested $11.25 million in the parking deck, gaining a 64 percent interest, operational control and assurance that at least 300 of the 506 spaces would be public spaces. The city also awarded a $3 million grant to Clayco for undertaking the project, essentially an offset for some of the taxes to be generated.

According to Ms. Marks, the 42 percent translated into a total of $19 million in contract awards to the 23 minorityowned companies. Based on that, Clayco is claiming only $45.2 million was spent on construction.

Ms. Marks said the rest of the $120 million was spent on architecture and engineering, land acquisition and other costs

unrelated to actual building work. That figure could not immediately be confirmed.

Clayco officials declined to release the name of the minority contractors and the amounts awarded each company or other data about the construction cost.

Ms. Marks said a report was sent to the City of Richmond, which she said should release the information.

Tammy Hawley, Mayor Jones’ press secretary, said late Wednesday that Clayco has not yet submitted a final report. She said the city’s Office of Minority Business Enterprise told her that the last report Clayco provided the city, which dates to November 2014, shows about 35.7 percent participation by minority-owned companies. A final report could show a higher percentage, she said.

According to information from McGuireWoods, the building stands 276 feet tall and includes 135,000 square feet of glass, 2,400 tons of structural steel, 32 miles of electrical wiring and 20,000 cubic yards of concrete.

The building also is rich in state-of-the-art technology, employs the latest in flexible design and showcases energy efficiency from top to bottom.

Among other things, the building reclaims runoff from rains for use in irrigation and cooling, reduces electrical usage and employs recycled building materials.

he became a cyclist on the team.

His first bike, he replied, was a single-speed bicycle. He would watch Team Rwanda cyclists speed past his home during training sessions and decided he wanted to become good enough to make the team.

“He came to us three times, and we told him, ‘You’re not very good yet,’ so he would go home,” Ms. Coats told the students.

“But he tried and tried and tried until he made the team.”

Mr. Uwizeyimana said he competes in cycling because “he wants to be the best.”

Ms. Coats, who served as a translator during the session for some of the cyclists, told the students the team trains up to six hours daily so that when they get to the races, “it’s easy for them.”

Mr. Ndayisenga said he and his teammates abstain from sugary drinks and consume “only water.” He also said they eat lots of pasta, eggs and chicken.

He said he has traveled more than 60 mph racing downhill.

The cyclists told the students they have competed across the world in countries such as Algeria, Brazil, Canada, France, Spain, England and now the United States.

One youngster asked how she could become a professional cyclist.

Ride your bike every day, start to race, win some races and you can move up to become a professional, Ms. Coats told her.

Before Team Rwanda departed, Ms. Haskins led the students in a series of cheers for their new favorite cyclists.

“Who do we like?” she asked.

“Team Rwanda!” they cheered.

The smiling cyclists then walked out of the school and were whisked across town where they made more new friends and fans at the Patrick Henry School of Arts and Sciences on South Side.

U.S. greets pope Continued from A1

President Obama, whose plans for a climate change bill were thwarted in Congress early in his presidency, said he shared the pope’s concerns about the environment.

“Holy Father, you remind us that we have a sacred obligation to protect our planet — God’s magnificent gift to us. We support your call to all world leaders to support the communities most vulnerable to a changing climate and to come together to preserve our precious world for future generations,” the president said.

In an era of renewed racial tensions in the country, the 78-year-old pope invoked the name of civil rights leader, the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to make points about the environment and equality.

Also, in an apparent nod to the fierce debate in the United States about illegal immigration, Pope Francis described himself as the son of an immigrant Italian family in Argentina. “I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families,” he said at the White House.

Speaking later to American bishops, Pope Francis acknowledged the sexual abuse scandal that has tainted the Catholic Church in the United States for years by saying these “crimes” should “never be repeated.”

As Washington streets were closed and federal workers stayed home, about 15,000 people gathered in bright sunshine on the South Lawn.

They heard the pope depart from his usual practice and give a speech in English.

Pope Francis arrived on Tuesday at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, kicking off his first visit to the United States, where between 68 million and 81 million people are Roman Catholic, including more than 3 million black Catholics, according to denomination surveys.

President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, their daughters, Malia and Sasha, and Mrs. Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, shook the

pope’s hand after he descended from the plane onto a red carpet. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, also welcomed the pontiff.

An excited crowd of Catholic dignitaries and local Catholic schoolchildren were also there to greet him. Waiting for the pope to step off his plane, the crowd erupted into cheers such as, “Ho ho, hey hey, we love Pope Francis every day!”

The pope drew more cheers when he left the airport in a small, Italian-made Fiat.

The six-day visit to America gives Pope Francis an opportunity to deliver his message of compassion and simplicity to the world’s richest and most powerful country.

During his visit to the United States, he also will give the first speech by any pope to the U.S. Congress on Thursday, an address to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Friday and an open-air Mass in Philadelphia on Sunday where 1.5 million people are expected.

Pope Francis and President Obama also held private talks Wednesday at the White House, where they discussed refugees. Both men see eye to eye on climate change and defense of the poor but hold different views on abortion rights and gay marriage.

Pope Francis gave his support to traditional marriage, pointing out that he will travel to Philadelphia “to celebrate and support the institutions of marriage and the family.”

The leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, Pope Francis sprinkled some stardust in a city that is not unduly impressed with important foreign visitors.

“We love you Pope Francis!” one person shouted as the White House ceremony ended.

The crowd of invited guests erupted in cheers.

Adoring crowds waving white and yellow Vatican flags cheered the pontiff on a parade through Washington streets.

At one point, he had his converted Jeep stop when he saw a baby in the crowd. Pope Francis was handed the 5-month-old son of Salvadoran immigrants, and kissed him on the head.

withdrawal letter.

“I have withdrawn,” Mr. Morrissey stated in a message to the Free Press in response a query about his status. “If SBE (State Board of Elections) wants to remove my name (from the ballot), so be it. If people want (to cast) a protest vote against Roz (Sen. Dance), that’s also Ok with me.”

Asked for her view, Sen. Dance stated in an email Wednesday: “While I, like many others, am perplexed about why Mr. Morrissey says he is withdrawing yet doesn’t file the appropriate paperwork, none of it changes what I am doing.

“I will continue to work hard everyday to earn the support of the voters in my district.”

The Senate district stretches from Richmond’s East End to Sen. Dance’s base in Petersburg and also includes parts of Hopewell and Chesterfield, Dinwiddie and Prince George counties.

There will be no change in the ballot, according to Richmond Voter Registrar Kirk Showalter. She said Tuesday that the elections department already has notified voter officials in the 16th Senate District “to proceed with absentee voting with (Mr. Morrissey’s) name on the ballot.”

Absentee voting, and the mailing of absentee ballots, began Sept. 16.

Ms. Showalter said ordinarily when a candidate withdraws, the individual notifies the state elections agency, which would notify her and other officials to include a notice of the withdrawal when sending absentee ballots to voters. In addition, she said she also would post a notice at the polls.

But she said that would not happen in the case of Mr. Morrissey unless he provides notice to the state elections agency

that he has quit the race and the elections agency provides such notice to her.

“Newspaper articles do not count as official notice of withdrawal,” she said.

Dr. Columba Nnorom, an adjunct political science professor at Virginia Union University, said the impact of Mr. Morrissey’s action is uncertain as “politics is often as unpredictable as the weather.”

He said Mr. Morrissey “will create confusion” because his name remains on the ballot, while the publicity about his withdrawal could “depress turnout because some voters might see no reason to vote since the challenger had ‘withdrawn.’ ” “Still, I think it very much depends on the type of campaign Senator Dance runs,” Dr. Nnorom continued. “In a predominantly African-American district, one would think it would be an easy victory for the former Petersburg mayor.”

Dr. Daniel Palazzolo, chair of the University of Richmond Department of Political Science, suggests that it will matter little if Mr. Morrissey’s name remains on the ballot. He considers it “highly unlikely” that a candidate like Mr. Morrissey who has publicly withdrawn from a race “would win many votes.”

The Free Press broke the story Sept.

10 that Mr. Morrissey had pulled out of the race to deal with the recurrence of a breathing problem that first cropped up in 2012. He and his personal physician stated he has a paralyzed left diaphragm, or a malfunction of muscles that assist the lungs in taking in and expelling air.

Mr. Morrissey still has campaign cash, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. In his latest filing, he reported having $20,989 in his Morrissey for Senate campaign account as of Aug. 31, VPAP reports.

Sen. Dance, in her most recent filing, reported $58,179 in her Senate campaign

account on Aug. 31, according to VPAP. Meanwhile, Mr. Morrissey got good news Tuesday when the intermediate Virginia Court of Appeals dismissed the state’s attempt to revive past felony charges against him related to his alleged preparation and use of forged court documents, which Mr. Morrissey vigorously denied.

Mr. Morrissey’s attorney, Anthony F. Troy, released a brief statement that he and his client “are extremely pleased” that the appeals court upheld the dismissal of the felony charges, which were thrown out earlier in Henrico Circuit Court.

Mr. Troy, a former attorney general, added: “The charges against Mr. Morrissey that were dismissed should never have been brought and were meritless.”

In the opinion written by Judge Wesley G. Russell, the appeals court found that the state had granted Mr. Morrissey immunity and thus had foreclosed any further action against him, as Circuit Judge Alfred D. Swersky had ruled during the spring.

As a result of the immunity agreement, “we conclude that we lack jurisdiction” to consider the commonwealth’s request to reinstate the charges, Judge Russell wrote for a three-judge panel in a 10-page opinion validating Judge Swersky’s action.

Prosecutors had granted Mr. Morrissey immunity on other charges after he agreed to enter an Alford plea to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He served 90 days in jail while also serving in the House of Delegates.

The case stems from allegations that he had a sexual relationship with his receptionist, Myrna Pride, who was 17 at the time. Both denied it.

Mr. Morrissey, 57, and Ms. Pride, 19, who now live together, have a son who was born earlier this year.

quarters for female ex-convicts while volunteering with the nonprofit group, Bridging the Gap in Virginia, which assists felons to make the transition from prison back to society.

“What I learned is that there are group homes for men, but very few for women anywhere in the state,” said Ms. MacClenahan.

The Louisiana native said she planned to compete for a Department of Corrections contract to open a “structured and comprehensive program” for five to eight women. She believes she has the background and experience to create a successful program.

She said that the women who would live in the house would not “be out wandering the neighborhood,” but would have reasons for leaving the group home, such as going to a doctor or searching for employment.

She planned to offer classes on everything from starting a business to preparing for job interviews. Other classes would have assisted women in handling their finances and taking charge of their lives so they would not return to prison.

“These women are coming out of prison,” she said, “and my response is that we need to help them.”

With support from her husband, Patrick, she said she began looking for a suitable space. One of the DOC requirements is for such a home to be on the line of public transportation, she said. “You can’t put it just anywhere.”

She said that she has run into NIMBY, “not-in-my-backyard” issues several times.

She said her first choice was to buy a home in Ginter Park, but she said she ran into opposition from the council representative, Chris A. Hilbert, 3rd District, who said neighbors would oppose it.

After looking again, she came upon 2414 4th Ave., which needed renovation. The place looked perfect, though, because the house sits apart from its neighbors on a big lot, she said. It also has a spacious interior that can be turned into four bedrooms and three baths once the improvements are complete.

She said she was buoyed when she learned neighbors did not raise objections. “Quite a few felt it would be an asset,” she said, but that was not enough to convince Ms. Robertson.

Now that her original plan has died, she has rented space in the house to three women “who have been facing health challenges or other problems.”

“I’m not giving up on establishing Hampton House, either,” she said. “I’m still looking for a location that will be acceptable.”

City asks for dismissal of mobile homes suit

By Joey Matthews

Dismiss it.

That’s what the City of Richmond is asking a federal court to do in response to a fair housing lawsuit filed last month by 32 current and former residents of two South Side mobile home parks.

The city also is seeking to have the U.S. District Court “dismiss the plaintiffs’ request for punitive damages against the city.”

The city’s 29-page response to the suit was filed with the court Sept. 16.

The plaintiffs, 31 of whom are Latino, alleged in their Aug. 18 lawsuit that the city is waging a deliberate campaign to force them from their homes through an aggressive code enforcement campaign.

Dozens of mobile home residents have been evicted because their homes were condemned or forced to make costly repairs since the city began its inspections for code violations — in February 2014 at Rudd’s Trailer Park at 2911 Jefferson Davis Highway, and a year later at

Sandra Sellars/Richmond Free Press

The city stated in its response to a lawsuit filed in August that it sent inspectors to mobile homes, such as this one in Mobile Towne Mobile Home Park on Old Midlothian Turnpike, in March to make sure they were safe for residents.

Mobile Towne Mobile Home Park at 5005 Old Midlothian Turnpike.

The lawsuit also asks the court to order the city to stop punitive enforcement actions and to

address safety issues in mobile home parks in a way that does not displace the overwhelmingly Latino community.

It also seeks unspecified damages from the

city for “the emotional distress” the enforcement campaign has caused.

The city has said the inspections are necessary to ensure residents in the park are living in safe conditions.

In seeking dismissal of the suit, lawyers for the city said in the response that its actions as alleged in the complaint don’t meet the legal threshold for violations of the federal and state fair housing acts and federal civil rights law.

“The simple fact is this lawsuit seeks extraordinary judicial intrusion into the city’s enforcement of the Uniform Statewide Building Code,” the city stated.

“Success by the plaintiffs would undercut lawful and legitimate health and safety enforcement actions, not just in the city, but within every municipality in this district.”

As for the punitive damages sought by the plaintiffs, the city said it is immune from punitive damages based on a prior U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

Bike hype We’re now learning whether the international bike races are a winner for Richmond. Opinion is mixed.

One thing is clear: Anyone who expected 450,000 people to flood into town to view 1,000 of the world’s top cyclists compete for medals misunderstood the size of this event from the get-go.

That figure, organizers say, applies to the collective attendance expected over the nine days of the UCI Road World Championships. The bike races started last Saturday and will end Sunday, Sept. 27. Divide 450,000 by nine, and the hope is for up to 50,000 people a day to turn out.

That doesn’t mean 50,000 people a day from out of state and out of the country. A big share of the daily crowd is to be from Richmond and nearby localities.

How many people will come out? It’s still too early to get information on crowds, according to Richmond 2015, the organizing group. But eyeball views of the crowds so far suggest that spectator numbers have fallen far short of 50,000 on each of the first five days. Certainly that was the case Monday and Tuesday; best guesses indicate less than 10,000 people came out to see the cyclists.

One thing we have learned is that Pope Francis is a far bigger draw than this cycling competition, even if it is an Olympic-style event that has brought riders from 74 countries. We can only envy the crowds and attention he is attracting during his U.S visit.

Organizers believe Richmond should start to see the crowds grow, with the biggest supposed to develop Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some are projecting multiple tens of thousands will come out to cheer on each of the final two days.

The races will go on rain or shine, but with a chance of rain in the forecast for the weekend, there is concern spectator enthusiasm could be dampened.

It’s easy to be skeptical that organizers are creating overly rosy projections of the potential audience. Last year, Richmond hosted the 2014 Collegiate Road Nationals, a smaller cycling event of USA Cycling. Gripes about closed streets were more numerous than spectators. And other past cycling competitions such as the Tour DuPont were not big draws.

But let’s be honest: Cycling has yet to become a major deal in this area. Despite all the talk about the growing interest in cycling and the city’s efforts to promote it with bike lanes, bike racks and other cycling enhancements, potholes are still a bigger daily hazard than staying clear of cyclists.

Richmond has yet to make the list of the 70 top U.S. cities for bicycle commuting, according to the U.S. Census and the League of American Cyclists. Our community is not on Bicycling magazine’s list of the top 50 bicycle-friendly cities. Arlington is the only Virginia city that made it.

Of course we hope that the $21 million that taxpayers and private companies are investing in this event will provide a boost to the local economy, though it is too soon to tell.

Most area restaurants have yet to report being swamped with people seeking a bite after a long day of watching the competition.

And as yet, hotels are not reporting a complete sellout. The Richmond-Petersburg area has about 18,000 hotel rooms, and as of Wednesday, Richmond Region Tourism continued to list 61 area hotels with at least some openings.

Moreover, it is hard to see how this event is creating a flow of money or jobs into our community.

Like many, we have our fingers crossed that these bike races will prove to be worth the disruption to our familiar routines.

The largely empty streets in Downtown during the day speak volumes about the disruption. So do the drivers muttering about the detours and problems in getting around. So do the people grumbling about having to spend more time riding buses.

Plenty of small businesses in and around Downtown closed this week — unwilling to put their customers through the hassle of reaching them or certain their customers wouldn’t try, a subtraction from economic growth and hardly pleasant for their employees.

Many believe Richmond should be proud of hosting this world-class event. But, remember, our city was the only one in the world to seriously raise its hand to host this edition of the races. Will they come to an end with everyone believing this event was a huge success? Stay tuned.

Papal lessons We join in the excitement surrounding Pope Francis’ visit to the United States.

It is the pontiff’s first visit to this country. In addition to saying Mass in Washington and Philadelphia and visiting with cheering throngs of the faithful on this six-day visit, he is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress on Thursday and speak to the U.N. General Assembly on Friday in New York.

It is an important visit for the nation’s Catholics, a contingent of up to 81 million Americans or roughly 25 percent of the U.S. population, including about 3 million black Catholics. It’s important, too, for non-Catholics, who are among the crowds in Washington.

Each of us can learn a lot by listening to this humble holy man, a Jesuit from Argentina who eschews the lavish lifestyle of some former popes and lives more simply in a suite in the Vatican guesthouse among the priests and bishops who work at the Vatican, rather than in the grand papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace.

When he arrived Tuesday at Joint Base Andrews, he slid into the backseat of a small, four-door Fiat, not a long black limousine.

In a speech Wednesday on the South Lawn of the White House, he described himself as the son of immigrants — his parents emigrated from Italy to South America — noting that America was built by immigrant families.

Since becoming pope two years ago, his messages to the world have centered on compassion, forgiveness, finding God in all things and sharing the gifts God has bestowed upon us — including nature’s resources — with others. Those messages have included talks about poverty and the poor, the environment and the role of women as sisters, not servants.

For a country that is only 4.5 percent of the world’s population, the United States consumes 25 percent of the world’s oil, one-third of the world’s paper, 23 percent of the coal, 19 percent of the copper and 27 percent of the aluminum, according to a report in Scientific American. “Our per capita use of energy, metals, minerals, forest products, fish, grains, meat and even fresh water dwarfs that of people living in the developing world,” the report stated.

While GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie, who is the governor of New Jersey and a Roman Catholic, snidely said that one shouldn’t go to a religious leader for lessons on economics, we suggest that some of the lessons Pope Francis can teach us can help unlock the closed minds and chained hearts in Washington that have ground this nation and our progress to a halt on many fronts.

Perhaps if we listen more to the pope’s universal lessons that are found in all the world’s major religions, we can be better stewards of the earth and care more about humankind.

We await with great anticipation what Pope Francis will say to Congress. Hopefully, it will bring an awakening and renewal of good faith, hope and positive action for the future.

Where are we in political arena?

Here is something to think about as we watch the political circus that is currently dominating the news: Black people are nowhere to be found in the real action, nowhere to be found in determining the candidates from which we will eventually choose to compete for the presidency, and nowhere to be found in the debate questions or answers.

We are merely watching from the balcony, as we had to do in the 1950s in segregated theaters and churches.

Have you ever wondered why two small states, Iowa and New Hampshire, have so much impact on the national election?

Is it simply because they are the first two states to conduct caucuses and primaries every presidential election year? Is it because they have such a large number of electoral votes? Even though some candidates who win those states do not always get their party’s nomination, these two states are held up as

the political “trend-makers” and benchmarks for a candidate’s success.

But think about this: Iowa is 91 percent white and 2 percent black; it has six electoral votes.

New Hampshire is 93 percent white and 1 percent black, with four electoral votes. There are

James Clingman 538 electoral votes among the states, 270 of which are needed to win the presidency of the United States. I ask again, why are Iowa and New Hampshire so important in the scheme of things?

Black folks, comprising 3 percent of the total population of these two small states, have absolutely no influence, not to mention power, in what is taking place right now in the political arena. We are relegated to being spectators if we care to watch this show.

The recent Republican debate took place in Simi Valley, Calif., where white cops who beat Rodney King within inches of his life were declared not guilty. Of the 500 people in the audience, there, I saw just five

black people in the seats at the CNN debate. Another insult to black voters, or another indication of political impotence?

We are just spectators, brothers and sisters, watching the Democrats and Republicans race toward the finish line in November 2016. They will put on a great show for us as they invoke Rosa Parks’ name and cite the sanctity of the black vote. Each party will try to convince us that it can and will “take care of us” because, God knows, we can’t take care of ourselves. Then, in January 2017, black people will settle in, once again relegated to their plantation of “choice” for four more years, without having gotten one ounce of quo for our quid.

Black people have dug ourselves a deep political hole, and now we must figure out how to get out of it. It really doesn’t matter who wins the highest office in the land — African-Americans will be in the same relative position as we have been under a black President for the last seven years. In other words, we ain’t got nothin’ comin’. Only we can save us, not Hillary Clinton,

Black women hold primary power Those advising political candidates hope to gain a winning advantage by spotting key, unexpected trends long before the actual voting.

Admitt e d l y, t h e Virginia Democratic presidential primary voting isn’t until March 1, 2016, with the field in limbo as frontrunner Hillary Clinton and her main rival, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont waiting to learn whether Vice President Joe Biden will run.

But a careful analysis of public opinion polls finds an unprecedented trend has already developed: The power of African-American women to choose the winner of the Virginia presidential primary, potentially a bellwether in the overall Democratic nomination fight.

This trend didn’t exist in 2008. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would have won easily in Virginia if only white Democratic voters were counted. He swept nearly all groups across the board.

When the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination battle

started, the “experts” said Mrs. Clinton would be even stronger, citing her 73 percent support among Democrats in national polls. The numbers were even higher in the Southern states.

But the continuing email

Paul Goldman controversy has changed the political landscape.

White men, roughly 25 percent of the 2008 Virginia primary vote, have deserted her.

But the “experts” tell her backers not to worry because “Hillary has the white female vote locked up.” They falsely believe this voting group — 35 percent of the 2008 primary vote — remain her bedrock, unshakeable constituency.

They should study prior voting history.

The latest polls finally prove my point: Mrs. Clinton no longer would win the majority of white women in a three-way race. If this trend continues, she likely would lose the white female vote in a two-way race.

Given the unique dynamics of 2008 when now-President Obama helped increase the turnout of African-American voters, the percentage of white voters participating in the total 2016 primary vote is likely to

increase.

Meaning: Hillary Clinton’s “do-or-die” political base comes from African-American — not white — females. They compromised 17 percent of the 2008 primary vote.

She gets 90 percent or more support now from AfricanAmerican women. If this backing holds, then further losses in the support among white women can be weathered. But if Mrs. Clinton’s support drops to 67 percent among African-American females — still very impressive statistically — then she enters the danger zone.

African-American men also are overwhelmingly in Mrs. Clinton’s corner. But in terms of political analysis, it is the women driving the politics.

“Experts” citing Mrs. Clinton’s generalized gender advantage are missing the real picture. Trend lines can change, of course, and the actual voting isn’t until next year.

But right now, the power to pick the nominee of the party favored to win the 2016 presidential election rests with African-American women.

That’s historic.

Letters to the Editor

What happens after the bike races?

What is the City of Richmond going to do after the UCI Road World Championships is over? What’s next for the city?

What if the bike races hadn’t come to Richmond? Would city officials have spent the money fixing up parts of the city? Where would that money have gone?

Here are a few things that you can do. How about cleaning up some of the blight in our urban communities, like condemned

buildings and homes that attract the wrong type of business that goes on in these communities?

How about the mayor and the governor working on increasing the minimum wage in our state?

I think officials should address on a serious level our roads, schools and communities, and put more police on foot patrol in the city.

If you can find the money to fix up the city for a bike race, or any other race, then you can find the money to fix and clean up the entire city and our schools, roads and neighborhoods, don’t’ you think?

MICHAEL A. KING Manquin

Free Press fighting the good fight again Re “No hero” editorial, Sept. 10-12 edition: Thank you for the editorial, “No hero,” in reference to Kim Davis, the clerk of Rowan, Ky., who refuses to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of her religious convictions.

While some have compared to her to Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we found those connections insulting and based on total ignorance.

Ironically, in the midst of this controversy, we partnered with the Virginia Historical Society for the airing of “Brother Outsider,” a documentary about the life of Bayard Rustin, the openly gay

friend and adviser to Dr. King. During his prolific civil rights crusade, in 1956, Mr. Rustin was a main consultant to Dr. King regarding the public transportation boycott in Montgomery, Ala. He also was a founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and a chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington.

In Kentucky, history is repeating itself. This is the same type of resistance that many used to deny the rights of African-Americans following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Many used and still use their Bibles as a means to justify racial discrimination.

Ms. Davis can preach in the streets that homosexuals are going to hell and I will be the first to defend her right to do so. But Ms. Davis is an elected official. To try and use her faith as a means to discriminate is absolutely wrong.

Thank you, Richmond Free Press, for once again speaking out against injustice.

BILL HARRISON Richmond The writer is president and executive director of Diversity Richmond.

Invest in our children, our schools When any city, town or neighborhood loses its talent and tax base, it becomes a poverty area.

Large urban areas have seen this deterioration over the decades. During integration we called it “white flight” and we saw it in Newark, New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Detroit.

In Richmond it is not white flight. The overwhelming majority of families — black or white — that have the financial ability to leave the city of Richmond, or to send their children to private school, leaves Richmond, if they have the means. When their children get to middleschool age, it is time to move to the counties, private school or a specialty school such as the Governor’s School, Open High or Community High, or home schooling if the family can.

If a family with the means to leave remains in the Richmond Public Schools system, they feel as though they are making a sacrifice.

What can keep these families and their tax dollars in the city? Good schools.

The Governor’s schools have shown that families will let their children be bused tens of miles for a good education.

For Richmond to maintain its vitality and growth, it must improve its schools. It is not just more money, but rethinking and restructuring.

What exactly needs to be done? I do not have the answer, but we must investigate other cities and create an education system wherein every

child learns how to think, is safe, and develops hope that there is a chance of a better life and success if educated.

No one will move to Richmond or stay in Richmond and pay taxes because there is a new baseball stadium or the best international bike race. I doubt if anyone will move into the city because the Washington NFL team training field is here.

Millions of dollars are spent or contemplated for these indulgences — these fancy deck chairs on what could be a sinking ship. Richmond needs someone in government who will prioritize needs over wants and structure over fluff.

Please, someone with common sense, run for mayor and City Council. Please, someone recognize that children are the ultimate infrastructure of this nation, this state and this city.

Please, someone think about the core needs of the city and not the accoutrements.

Every child going to jail, or prison or dropping out is a life that has been lessened in its potential to solve our problems, cure our illnesses, improve our lives or to be happy.

Every child, even the ones with their pants around their thighs, piercings, tattoos and even the rebel flag is a seed which, if properly nourished by our community, can grow into a healthy and productive contributor to the nation and city.

It is not about more money for teachers or

buildings. It is about new ideas, visiting successful programs and city and school administrations that see and appreciate urban problems.

Our children need training and hope. Unfortunately, hopelessness is contagious. People without hope have hopeless children.

It is time to build a stronger infrastructure for the city and to stop rearranging the new, but very expensive, pillows. Sorry Washington and Flying Squirrels.

‘What about white-on-white crime?’

Regarding Megyn Kelly of Fox News and her ignorance challenging Professor Cornel West on black-on-black crime.

I would like to tell her, and those who think like her, that there is no such thing. There is only American crime. People tend to kill those in communities in close proximity to them. White people don’t kill white people?

I would like to point out that the majority of serial killers in this country are white. Children killing their classmates in mass school shootings are white. Is there a “daddy issue” there, such as that voiced when a black person kills another black person?

One can only imagine the furor that would erupt if the majority of serial killers were African-American and mass school shootings were perpetrated by black children. There would be much dissection of the black family. I don’t see this happening with serial killers and mass school shooters. Why not?

Crime is an American problem, yet nobody asks, “What about white-on-white crime?”

VSU Trojans aim to corral Fayetteville State Broncos

James Haskins/Richmond Free Press

Virginia State University defensive back Malik Sexton, left, knocks away a pass intended for Kentucky State University receiver Bryan Henderson during last Saturday’s game at Rogers Stadium in Ettrick. The Trojans won 14-7.

If you went for a hot dog and soft drink during punt plays, you’d have missed the day’s most exciting action.

Virginia State University’s two touchdowns came on punts in its 14-7 victory over Kentucky State University last Saturday at Rogers Stadium.

Led by its special teams (kicking and kick return units), the Trojans improved to 2-1 under first year Coach Byron Thweatt.

The Trojans will try to extend the winning streak this week when CIAA foe Fayetteville State University arrives Saturday at Rogers Stadium in Ettrick for a noon kickoff.

The game will be televised live by Sinclair Broadcast Group and American Sports Network.

In downing KSU on Military Appreciation Day, Jaivon Smallwood returned a punt for a 44-yard touchdown.

Trevon Byron added the second six points by blocking a punt by the Thorobreds and pouncing on the free pigskin in the end zone.

“A football team is like a spear and then turned it on.

The Trojans started the 2013 season 1-2, special teams are the tip of the spear — the dagger,” said Coach Thweatt. “That’s but finished with eight straight wins.

In the 2014 season, VSU began 0-2 how you finish games.”

VUU Panthers plan to take Golden Bulls by the horns Native Richmonder Kermit Blount would love to rain on Virginia Union University’s football parade Saturday at Hovey Field.

At the same time, Mark James will do everything in his power to spoil Blount’s return to his hometown.

Here’s the deal: Blount, an Armstrong High School graduate, is a first-year coach for Johnson C. Smith University of Charlotte.

James is in his second year coaching a resurgent VUU. The CIAA rival Panthers, 2-1, and Golden Bulls, 1-2, will kick off 1 p.m. Saturday in the annual Lucille Brown Community Youth Bowl at Hovey Field on Lombardy Street.

“I’m sure Coach Blount isn’t coming to Richmond to lose,” said Coach James. “Meanwhile, we’re studying film and doing everything we can to win.”

Saturday, Sept. 26 VUU is coming off a 13-9 loss to Gardner-Webb University Johnson C. Smith of North Carolina, despite domiUniversity at Virginia nating the FCS program in most Union University, 1 p.m., Hovey Field statistical areas.

“We’re trying to look at the bright side,” Coach James said of the Gardner-Webb loss Sept. 19.

“Certainly, it was a moral victory. And we feel like we have momentum going into the conference schedule.”

VUU outgained Gardner-Webb 309 yards to 138 yards.

VUU Freshman Hakeem Holland rushed for 85 yards on 16 carries and will enter the game against Johnson C. Smith University with 348 yards and an 8.3 yards-per-carry norm in three outings.

Quarterback Shawheem Dowdy left the game with a twisted ankle, but is expected back for Saturday’s match.

Dowdy was replaced by Andre Coble, who had the Panthers inside the GWU 5-yard line in the final minute of the game.

Coble is normally a wide receiver.

Receiver Donte Gross suffered a concussion at GWU and likely will sit out one or two weeks.

Last season, VUU defeated Johnson C. Smith 27-26 when Kenny Graham connected with Jussie York on a 50-yard touchdown with .9 seconds left on the scoreboard.

Johnson C. Smith went 3-7 in 2014 and has made a coaching change. VUU finished 7-3 in Coach James’ first campaign.

under Coach Bill Hayes at Winston-Salem State University.

Following his playing career, Blount coached 18 seasons at Winston-Salem State, winning two CIAA titles. For the past five years, he has been coaching at Delaware State University.

Coach Blount’s freshman quarterback at Johnson C. Smith is Harold Herbin, who completed 22 of 40 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns in the Bulls’ 37-35 loss last week at Morehouse College in Atlanta.

he has ever coached.

“Joe is special,” said Coach James. “You won’t find many in Division II like him. I’m sure the teams we’re playing are basing their games plans around staying away from Joe.” Blanks had 11 tackles, including a sack, against GardnerWebb University.

Coach James goes so far as to compare Blanks with Josh Bynes, who he coached at Boyd Anderson High School in South Florida.

Bynes went on to star at Auburn University and now plays linebacker for the NFL’s Detroit Lions.

John Marshall High’s Reginald Revels has record day There has been a major change in Reginald Revels’ after-school autumn itinerary.

About this time a year ago, he headed to McDonald’s after classes for a part-time job flipping burgers.

This year, he has traded in his apron and spatula for a helmet, shoulder pads and the No. 4 blue and white jersey for the John Marshall High School football team.

You might say he has gone from preparing fast food to showing off his fast feet.

In just his second game for the Justices, the 5-foot-10, 183-pound senior scored five touchdowns and rushed for 215 yards in John Marshall’s 50-26 rout Sept. 14 of visiting Armstrong High School.

John Marshall Activities Director Lamont Davis believes both the number of touchdowns and the yardage in a single game James Haskins/Richmond Free Press

Honoring the past In the more than 100 years of John Marshall High School football, there have been many heroes. One deserving special mention is Arrington “AJ” Jones.

A bruising halfback, Jones went on to star at Winston-Salem State University, where he rushed for 2,668 yards and 27 touchdowns from 1977 to 1980.

Jones was selected by San Francisco in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL draft and was with the 49ers for their 1981 Super Bowl win over Cincinnati.

John Marshall High is among Virginia’s oldest high schools, first opening its doors in 1909 at 8th and Marshall streets. The school moved to its current location in the fall of 1960.

are school records.

“We really don’t have records going way back,” said Davis.

“We’re saying what Reggie did are the records and leaving it up to someone to prove any different.”

It’s not like Revels was a total unknown around the athletic department before this football season.

Previously, he played shortstop on the baseball team and has been a back-up guard in basketball.

“I just wasn’t into football,” he said. “I hadn’t played since before high school, when I was with the Calhoun Cougars” in the city Rec League.

“I worked last fall (at McDonald’s), but quit when it was time for basketball.”

Revels said he was persuaded to go out for football by his cousin, Raynard Revels II, a former Hermitage High School standout who now plays linebacker at Norfolk State University.

“Raynard told me that football was in my blood and I ought to give it a try before it’s too late,” said Reginald.

The “original” Raynard Revels was the star quarterback under Coach Lou Anderson at Maggie Walker High School in the late 1970s, and served as NSU’s quarterback from 1980 to 1982.

What Reginald Revels may lack in experience, he makes up for with other attributes, said Coach Redd Thompson.

“Reggie runs low and he runs hard, and he’s good at reading his blocks,” said Coach Thompson. “He’s a tough kid and I love his energy.”

Revels’ break-out performance came behind an offensive line of Tyshaan Davenport, Malik Arnold, Kelvin Preston, Edward Boisseau and Kavon Harris, and bruising fullback Dorian Lee. “Our O-line had a great day,” said Revels.

“I didn’t think about any records or anything like that until I came to school the next day and people were talking.”

Personality: Debra Sue Sims Fleisher Spotlight on chair of 2015 Active Aging Week Debra Sue Sims Fleisher has had a passion for exercising ever since she was a child.

“My mother says that, as a little girl, I would dance to the sound of the washing machine. And I do remember dancing with a doorknob as my partner,” she recalls.

Her dedication to fitness continued as a young woman when she took her first job as a fitness instructor 25 years ago with Richmond-based company Aerobics Plus.

Fast forward to today, and Mrs. Fleisher is still moving as a part-time fitness instructor.

Now a retired middle school administrator, the “50ish” Henrico County resident will undertake her latest fitness challenge next week when she chairs activities for the 2015 Active Aging Week. The theme: “Live Your Adventure.”

Set for Sunday, Sept. 27, through Saturday, Oct. 3, Active Aging Week is an initiative of the International Council on Active Aging. It is designed to encourage people age 50 and older to “actively engage in their communities by aging with diversity and adventure,” according to a news release promoting the event.

The kickoff will be 10 a.m. to noon Monday, Sept. 28, at Senior Connections’ newest Friendship Café at Diversity Richmond, 1407 Sherwood Ave. on North Side.

The event is free and open to the public, and will include singing, dancing, free wellness screenings and more.

Mrs. Fleisher said a host of businesses and organizations are planning fitness events throughout the week, ranging from line dancing and choral performances to a mall walk, pickle ball and water exercise classes.

Information about other activities scheduled for the week can be found online at www.agewellva.com.

Happenings More than 12,000 flood Brown’s Island for race opening

By Joey Matthews

historic sites in the city and state and also to open their wallets “and spend every penny in your pocket while you’re here.”

He told the audience he’s the first governor in the state to put a kegerator in the Executive Mansion and invited everyone “to come on by for a beer.”

The governor then introduced Sen. Warner, who he called, “The greatest U.S. senator who has ever served in the history of America.”

Sen. Warner, a cyclist, said he rode several miles earlier in the day with the U.S. team during a training ride through Church Hill, and “people out in the streets and in their cars were shouting out, ‘Go, USA!’ ” Mayor Jones said, “Tonight, we’re writing a new page in the history of our city.

“The world is not only riding in Richmond, but the world is watching Richmond over the next nine days. As mayor, I have one more thing to say, ‘Go, Richmond!”

As the ceremony wound down and people began to exit Brown’s Island, UCI competitors Barna Peak and David Kovacs of Budapest, Hungary, stopped along with their coach, Rusovszki Gabor, to watch two high-energy street drummers perform.

The two young cyclists praised the opening ceremony and the people they have met since arriving in the capital city.

“It’s really fun,” said Mr. Peak, 18, who is scheduled to compete Sunday in the Men’s Elite Road Race.

“The people are friendly, they’re asking questions and they’re taking lots of pictures with us.”

Mr. Kovacs, who placed 41st in a field of 57 riders Tuesday in the Men’s Juniors Individual Time Trial, said he was impressed with Richmond. “Its roads are nice and clean and the trees are green and beautiful,” he said. “I salute the city for this.”

Richmond native and American Idol finalist Rayvon Owen and the Richmond Symphony wowed more than 12,000 people Friday night on Brown’s Island as they opened the UCI Road World Championships with a dazzling show ushering in a resplendent riverside sunset.

The Richmond Cycling Corps, a group of East End youngsters ages 12 to 17, then led a colorful procession of the 16 cyclists from Team USA, followed by 74 youngsters carrying the flags

Photo feature on page B12 of the nations participating in this international bicycling race.

The crowd erupted in loud cheers.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Sen. Mark R. Warner and Mayor Dwight C. Jones, who along with Dominion’s Thomas F. Farrell II, are co-chairs of the event, added political clout to the official opening ceremonies as they basked in bringing the annual bike races to the United States for the first time since 1986.

By their reactions, the crowd of thousands gave the kickoff a big thumbs-up.

“I just want to be a part of it,” said Elseen Redford of South Side, who attended the event with her husband, Greg.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before, and that’s what makes it more exciting,” added Ms. Redford, who works in the city’s Department of Social Services.

South Side resident Jonathan Williams of the LeClairRyan law firm in Downtown walked among the throngs of people with his wide-eyed, 4-year-old son, Elijah.

“We try to do every festival in Richmond, whether it’s in the city or in one of the nearby counties,” he said. “We’re out here to support RVA. I want to show my son different cultures and nationalities, so he’s exposed to a little of everything.”

He said his wife, DeAndre, was nearby volunteering in one of the concession booths.

The opening was an opportunity to showcase Richmond in its best light — along the banks of the James River and with local talent.

Patrice Fitzgerald of Richmond beamed as she and 10 other family members watched her son, Rayvon, perform. He drew loud ovations after he sang the national anthem and his hit song, “Believe,” backed by the Richmond Symphony and music director Steven Smith.

“He loves performing and giving back to the community,” his mother said.

Seated nearby were 20 cheering members of Antioch Baptist Church in Henrico County, which Rayvon attended as a youth.

“We are happy to be here to fellowship with our brother, Rayvon,” said Antioch member Ellen Sailes.

Antonio Goode, a junior at Armstrong High School, wore a big smile as he and the 12 other members of the Richmond Cycling Corps prepared to ride their bikes down a grassy path through the middle of the audience to the front of the stage.

“This is exciting and important to us,” the young man said. “We’re being recognized for what we do along with the best bike riders in the world.”

Nearby, Allen Peoples of Franklin Military Academy in the East End, held a flag representing the small European country of Andorra. He and

Sen. Mark R. Warner, right, joins Team USA cyclists for a training ride last Friday through Downtown, hours before he appeared at the UCI Road World Championships opening ceremony on Brown’s Island.

73 other students from Richmond, Henrico and Hanover schools marched to the stage holding flags representing the countries competing in the UCI championships.

“It feels great to be here to support the UCI races and to represent our school,” the young man said.

The Franklin Military Academy color guard placed an American flag at the front of the stage.

As often happens at public events, Gov. McAuliffe stole the show while drawing lots of

laughter and applause.

“Welcome to the greatest state in the United States of America!” he bellowed. “It took courage, it took leadership and it took foresight to bring the UCI world championships here. So I’d like to acknowledge the greatest mayor in the United States of America, Mayor Dwight C. Jones, who represents the greatest city in the United States of America, Richmond!”

He encouraged visitors from abroad to visit

Protest launched over Confederate bike route As a small plane flew overheard carrying a banner with a Confederate battle flag and the message “Confederate heros (sic) matter,” cyclists from the Chilean and Mexican national bike teams pedaled up Monument Avenue on Saturday and turned at the statue of Confederate president Jefferson Davis to head back Downtown to finish their training course.

Except for the misspelled banner circling the area behind the plane and about 50 sign-waving protesters nearby at Monument and Davis avenues, few of the cyclists and fans from around the world knew that the cobbled street dotted with statues to vanquished Confederates was at the epicenter of a battle over culture, history and justice.

The protesters, a collection of community activists and historic preservationists, were rallying against the decision by organizers of the UCI Road World Championships to focus the international race’s routes along Monument Avenue — a street laden with statues of traitors — and along Shockoe Bottom, once a hub of the U.S. domestic slave trade and a graveyard for countless enslaved people who suffered at the hands of Confederates.

“We are here today to tell the world that most Richmonders do not support showcasing these monuments to Confederate military and political leaders during this world-famous sports event,” said Ana Edwards, chairwoman of the Sacred Ground Historical Reclamation Project of the Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality.

“At the very least, the route could also have included the one black person memorialized on Monument Avenue who actually fought racism

Demonstrators signal their displeasure Saturday with the international bike races route along Monument Avenue with statues of Confederates who fought to enslave black people.

— Richmond tennis champion and anti-apartheid activist Arthur Ashe,” she added to applause.

She also questioned why organizers with Richmond 2015 excluded from the race route the predominately African-American community of Jackson Ward.

Having cyclists go through Jackson Ward, an area once known as the “Harlem of the South,” would showcase true heroes, she said, such as civil rights attorney Oliver Hill Sr.; Maggie L. Walker, the first female founder and president of a bank in America; newspaper editor John Mitchell Jr.; and entertainer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.

Queen Nzinga, 64, a retiree from Richmond

Public Schools and a member of the Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality, said Monument Avenue “has caused so much discord.”

“Most people see it as a symbol of days gone by,” she said. “Instead of spotlighting the Confederates, we have present heroes and sheroes — Africans and Caucasians — that (race organizers) could have spotlighted.”

Rebecca Keel, a member of Southerners on New Ground, questioned the motives of city officials and race organizers in planning the routes.

“The fact the very route of this race highlights Confederate supporters over highlighting the history of black people and black resistance is an enormous signifier that the ruling class of this city does not support the work of black liberation,” she declared.

Groups at the rally, which included members of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, called on Mayor Dwight C. Jones and Richmond City Council to drop plans to build a small memorial at the former slave holding pen in Shockoe Bottom known as Lumpkin’s Jail.

Instead, they asked city officials and others to plan and develop a 9-acre Shockoe Bottom Memorial Park and Interpretive Center to tell the true story of Richmond’s role as the center of the slave trade.

“This concept fully commemorates Shockoe’s slave history and provides space for education, reflection and healing, while ushering in a pathway for Shockoe Bottom to become a source of economic development and heritage tourism that benefits all Richmonders,” said Erica Stewart of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. — JOEY MATTHEWS

Actress Viola Davis makes Emmy history Free Press wire reports

LOS ANGELES Finally!

After 67 years, an African-American woman has won the honor for best lead actress in a drama series at the Emmy Awards.

Viola Davis notched the historic win Sunday night before a mostly white audience at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards.

She won for her role as a tough criminal defense lawyer in ABC’s drama series “How to Get Away with Murder.”

“The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity,” Ms. Davis said in an acceptance speech that garnered kudos and tears from listeners. She also thanked influential African-American women across Hollywood, including writer and executive producer Shonda Rhimes and fellow actresses Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union.

Ms. Washington cried as she watched Ms. Davis on the stage.

Other celebrities celebrated from afar.

Oprah Winfrey tweeted, “Wow, WOW! Another proud to spell my name W.O.M.A.N. moment. Thank you.”

Ms. Davis quoted Harriet Tubman in her speech and urged Hollywood to write more parts for African-American women.

“You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there,” she said. “Here’s to all the writers, the awesome people that are Ben Sherwood, Paul Lee, Peter Nowalk, Shonda Rhimes — people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black.”

Two other female African-American actresses, Uzo Aduba and Regina King, also were among the winners.

Ms. Aduba won the Emmy for best supporting actress in a drama series for her performance as Susan “Crazy Eyes” Warren on “Orange is the New Black,” a Netflix production about a women’s prison.

Ms. King earned a statuette for best supporting actress in a limited series or a movie for her role in “American Crime.”

Ms. Aduba thanked the show’s creator Jenji Kohan during her acceptance speech.

“I love you so much,” she said, fighting back tears. “I appreciate you for putting belief back in my heart.”

A stunned Ms. King said, “I was not expecting this, so I’m just going to listen to God and give gratitude for all the love that surrounds me.”

She thanked her mother and grandmother, who have “taught me the power and blessing of being a woman.”

Another African-American actor, Reg E. Cathey, was honored Sept. 12 at the creative arts Emmy Awards as best guest actor in a drama for the Netflix show “House of Cards.”

HBO won the most awards Sunday with 14. Its hugely popular show, “Game of Thrones,” won 12 awards, including best drama.

Its show “Veep,” won best comedy and miniseries, “Olive Kit-

The evening’s most emotional moment came when comedian Tracy Morgan, in his first live public appearance since suffering

life-threatening injuries in a car wreck more than a year ago, received a standing ovation and cracked a joke.

Mr. Morgan, 46, one of the stars of “30 Rock” and a former cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” walked confidently on stage as he presented the night’s top award for best drama series.

“Last year Jimmy Kimmel said on this stage, ‘We’ll see you next year, Tracy Morgan.’ Well Jimmy, thanks to my amazing doctors, beautiful family and wife, I’m here, standing on my own two feet,” Mr. Morgan said.

“It’s been a long road back, I suffered a traumatic brain injury that put me in a coma for eight days and when I finally regained consciousness, I was ecstatic to learn I wasn’t the one who messed up,” he said, drawing laughter from the audience.

Happenings History-making women to speak at Chimborazo Elementary Powhatan native Lillian L. Lambert was the first African-American woman to graduate from the Harvard University Business School.

The Rev. Sylvia V. Tucker, who lives in Disputanta, was the first female African-American hospital chaplain in Virginia.

The women are scheduled to share their success stories Friday, Sept. 25, with students at Chimborazo Elementary School, 3000 E. Marshall St., in the East End. The occasion: The 6th Annual Back to School with the HistoryMakers.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is chair of the nationwide effort with the goal of having more than 400 African-American leaders go “back to school” in 67 cities and 32 states, according to organizers.

The program puts history makers in direct contact with more than 25,000 students in 200 schools across the nation to “inspire them with their life’s stories and to encourage youth to strive for excellence,” according to a news release about the event.

Ms. Lambert moved to New York City after graduating from Pocahontas High School in Powhatan’s Ballsville area. She worked as a maid and typist before going to Washington, where she was a typist for the federal government before she enrolled at Howard University.

She graduated in 1966 and entered Harvard

Business School in 1967, where she co-founded the African-American Student Union. When she graduated in 1969, she was the first African-American woman to receive an MBA from the school.

Ms. Lambert went on to work as a stockbroker, teach at Bowie State College and serve as executive vice president of Unified Services, before starting her own janitorial company, Centennial One Inc., in 1976. Starting the company in her garage, she grew Centennial into a business with more than 1,200 employees and $20 million in revenue.

In 2001, she sold her company and became a professional speaker, coach and consultant. In 2003, she received the Harvard Business School Alumni Achievement Award.

Rev. Tucker was a homemaker from 1963 to 1978, when she became a financial adviser at First Merchants Bank in Richmond. She continued her financial counseling work at John Randolph Medical Center in Hopewell from 1983 to 1995.

In 1982, she earned a degree in theology at the University of Lynchburg Seminary. In 1994, she was ordained and licensed as a Baptist minister. Rev. Tucker was appointed to her historic post as chaplain of John Randolph Medical Center in 1985.

In 2000, she was appointed the national chaplain of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the first woman to hold that post.

Ms. Jones, Col. Singleton say, ‘I do’

Mr. and Mrs. Singleton

Sandra Jones and Col. Terence Singleton are newlyweds.

The couple married Saturday, Sept. 19, at New Zion Baptist Church in Williamsburg. The church’s pastor, the Rev. Robert A. Whitehead Sr., officiated, along with the Rev. Vernon J. Hurte, pastor of New Light Baptist Church in Richmond.

The bride is the daughter of Garland and Linda Jones of Rocky Mount, N.C. Originally from Orange, N.J., and a graduate of Rutgers University, she keeps Metro Richmond informed as a reporter for WTVR-TV/CBS 6.

A native of Petersburg, the groom is the son of Paul and Anne Singleton and earned a degree from St. Leo’s College. He works as a program analyst for the U.S. Army and serves as a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Following a honeymoon in Turks and Caicos Islands, the couple will continue to reside in Midlothian.

Sharpton on GOP: ‘They entertain you with foolishness’

By Joey Matthews

“And let us not be weary in well doing!” the Rev. Al Sharpton said. “For in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not!”

Moved by those stirring words, more than 1,000 worshippers rose to their feet, cheering and applauding Rev. Sharpton on Sunday during his sermon at the Men’s Day service at historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg.

“If you give up, think of those ahead of you.

If they had given up, where would we be?”

Rev. Sharpton, a civil rights leader, author and television and radio show host, is president of the National Action Network. His message on determination and self-reliance was drawn from Galatians 6:9.

He said he appeared at the church at the request of his friend, Gillfield pastor Dr. George W.C. Lyons Jr. Dr. Lyons told the congregation the two have known each other for about 10 years. They had the same mentor in Brooklyn, N.Y., the late Rev. William Augustus Jones, who was pastor of Bethany Baptist Church for more than four decades.

Dr. Lyons introduced Rev. Sharpton as someone that has served “on the front line for justice and equality for a long time.”

“He is someone who has been arrested, stabbed, lied on and betrayed, even by some of his friends,” Dr. Lyons added.

Rev. Sharpton said he had come to Petersburg from Washington, where he met with President Obama last Friday and attended a Congressional Black Caucus function.

With passion and resolve, he called for people to advocate for voting rights in communities of color, criminal justice reform, education equity

“We had no rights anyone was bound of where they stand.

“If I step out of this pulpit, walked over to to respect. It was controversial for us to even gather. Our women would be violated where you’re sitting and knocked you off your and there were no police to call. We were pew, then that’s on me,” he said.

“If we come back next Sunday and you’re chattel properties, trying to come to affirm still laying on the ground, that’s on you,” he said, our humanity.

“And here you are 218 years later,” Rev. drawing laughs from the congregation.

“100 Women in White”

By Joey Matthews

They call themselves “The Breakfast Club.”

They arrive about 6 a.m. at Fifth Baptist Church in the West End every Tuesday and Friday.

Deacon John Chavis opens the back door for them.

On this particular morning, 13 members of the club arrive.

And as they do twice a week, they play basketball in the church gymnasium.

Before tipping off, they gather at half court for a prayer.

“We’re all about instilling the love of Jesus in everyone,” said 56-year-old James “Big Shot” Henson Jr., a deacon at the church.

“And we want to get our cardio work in and strengthen our bodies,” said Ron Timmons Sr., who attends St. Elizabeth Catholic Church on North Side.

“It’s a good wake-up call for us a couple days out of the week,” said the Virginia Department of Health retiree.

Age and religion are neither qualifying criteria nor disqualifying standards to play in these games. Mr. Timmons is the oldest player at 68; the youngest is in his early 20s. Several of the players are Fifth Baptist members; some attend other area churches.

The men play spirited fullcourt games for the next hour and a half. The first team to score 11 points wins, then new players sub in to play the winners in the next game.

Mr. Henson and Mr. Timmons said they organized the early-morning hoops gatherings in 2009 with King Salim Khalfani, a consultant and former executive director of the Virginia NAACP, after they had difficulty finding courts open for play at

that time of day.

“We approached our pastor, Dr. Earl M. Brown, and he was very receptive to the idea,” said Mr. Henson, who runs a printing business in Downtown with his wife.

“He saw it as a great way to promote fellowship and fitness in the community.”

Mr. Henson said he and his friends organize the games under the spiritual umbrella of “the three C’s — It’s OK to love, honor and obey Christ; it’s OK to compete and show good sportsmanship; and it’s OK to show compassion and to love your fellow brothers.”

Markus Gardner, 50, who calls himself “a friend of the church,” said he plays because he likes the challenge of the match-ups.

“When you have somebody 20 years old playing against you, and they think they can take you, I take pride in taking it to them,” Mr. Gardner said.

He writes accounts of the games, keeps statistics and also gives trophies to players on a

monthly basis to recognize hustle, production and team play.

The men also have varied athletic backgrounds.

Mr. Henson said he first got his competitive basketball experience playing junior varsity basketball for Francis C. Hammond Junior High School in Alexandria, then later intramurals for his fraternity at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Mr. Timmons said he played for his fraternity at Virginia Union University.

Mr. Gardner said he ran cross-country at VUU. Mr. Henson said the older men who play try to serve as role models to the younger players in other aspects of life, “and help them not to make some of the mistakes we’ve made.”

“We talk to them about doing things the right way,” he said.

When the games at Fifth Baptist are over, several of the players go to the Downtown YMCA to work out together.

“It’s all about the cardio,” said Mr. Henson. “We just love to exercise and try to stay fit.”

Aguilar’s sentencing set for Oct. 12 in Texas

By Joey Matthews

Former Richmond Outreach Center Pastor Geronimo “Pastor G” Aguilar is to be sentenced by a Texas judge Monday, Oct. 12, according to Samantha Jordan, a spokesperson in the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office.

The ex-minister, who once was respected by Richmond area politicians, law enforcement, business leaders and residents, faces life in prison when he goes before Judge Louis Sturns.

While awaiting sentencing, Mr. Aguilar, 45, has been confined to the Tarrant County Jail in Fort Worth since June 24.

That’s when he was convicted by a jury on seven counts of sexual assault of a minor and indecency with a child.

His attorney, David Carlson of Glen Allen, told the Free Press that Mr. Aguilar is doing “remarkably well. We’re talking about what his options are after the sentence is handed down.”

He said the defense team would lodge

an appeal after the sentencing.

Mr. Carlson said the team would try to have the sentencing hearing changed to a later date because “we were not consulted” when the sentencing would take place. “No one Mr. Aguilar on (Mr. Aguilar’s) defense team can be in the courtroom with him on that date.”

Mr. Aguilar was found guilty of sexually assaulting two sisters, ages 11 and 13, in the mid-1990s while he was a youth pastor at their Texas church.

He asked to be sentenced by Judge Sturns instead of the jury.

After the 12-person jury convicted Mr. Aguilar, Judge Sturns asked for a pre-sentencing report to be provided to him no later than this month.

Mr. Aguilar was 26 years old and mar-

ried to his first wife at the time of the crimes, and assaulted the girls for more than a year, according to prosecutors. He lived with the family and slept between the girls in a bed when the assaults began, according to trial testimony.

He was arrested by authorities at his Richmond home in May 2012 and resigned from the Richmond Outreach Center a month later. He was indicted by a Texas grand jury in September 2012.

Prosecutor Eric Nichols said after Mr. Aguilar’s conviction that he will seek a sentence that guarantees he will never get out of prison.

Meanwhile, the church that Mr. Aguilar once led known as the ROC was renamed Celebration Church and Outreach Ministry and is still searching for a full-time senior pastor.

Dr. Robert Rhoden, a longtime pastor and executive in Assemblies of God ministries, is serving as the church’s transitional pastor, and is leading services with his son, Rob.

Richmond Christian Center bankruptcy issue being resolved

By Jeremy M. Lazarus

The Richmond Christian Center has had to put off celebrating its emergence from bankruptcy after nearly two years under court supervision.

The 300-member South Side church has been told some issues still need to be resolved before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court can approve RCC’s reorganization plan and allow it to leave bankruptcy court protection.

RCC expected to have the plan approved Sept. 9 in federal court. However, an attorney associated with the church’s courtappointed trustee, Bruce H. Matson, has notified the church and the court it could be at least another month before the plan is finalized.

The attorney, Christopher L. Perkins, who, like Mr. Matson, is a partner in the LeClairRyan law firm, told Judge Keith Phillips that there are still some items to resolve before the final plan can be presented.

That includes having creditors vote on the plan and settling a government claim to interest on previously unpaid taxes on employee benefits, Judge Phillips was told.

Another issue involves the resolution of a claim from an auction company over money it is due from handling the 2014 sale of the RCC property that ultimately fell through.

Another church, Mountain of Blessings Christian Center, was the high bidder on that sale, but Mr. Matson ended up rebuffing the bid. Mountain of Blessings has recovered the $196,000 it put up to show its intention to purchase.

The auction company, Richmond-based Motleys, believes it is owed about $200,000, or well above the $78,000 that Mr. Matson believes the company should be paid for handling the auction. Both sides have agreed to mediation to gain a resolution.

The delay also gives RCC 1408 W. Leigh Street • 358-6403 more time to raise $200,000 Dr. Alonza Lawrence to fund the costs of the reorPastor ganization, including paying LeClairRyan and a financial Sundays firm for services in developing Church School 8:30 A.M. the plan and overseeing the Morning Worship 10:00 A.M. church’s finances.

Legal Notices City of Richmond, Virginia CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the City of Richmond Planning Commission has scheduled a public hearing, open to all interested citizens, on Monday, October 5, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. in the Fifth Floor Conference Room of City Hall and the Council of the City of Richmond has scheduled a public hearing on Monday, October 12, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber on the Second Floor of City Hall, located at 900 East Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia, to consider the following ordinances: Ordinance No. 2015-179 To rezone the property known as 2816 West Broad Street from the B-3 General Business District to the B-7 Mixed-Use Business District. The Richmond Master Plan recommends General Commercial uses for the subject property. General commercial uses include a broad range of office, retail, general commercial, wholesale and service uses, typically located along major transportation corridors and serving large portions of the City, the region or the traveling public.

Ordinance No. 2015-195 To authorize the special use of the property known as 4300 West Broad Street for the purpose of a warehouse use with an excess of 20,000 square feet in area dedicated to storage of goods, upon certain terms and conditions. The property is located in the B-3 general business zoning district.

The Land Use Plan of the City of Richmond’s Master Plan designates the subject property for General Commercial land use. Primary uses in this category include a broad range of office, retail, general commercial, wholesale and service uses, typically located along major transportation corridors and serving large portions of the City, the region or the traveling public. Land uses in this category are typically of larger scale and intensity then Community Commercial uses, and may not always be highly compatible with residential areas. The typical zoning classification that may accommodate this land use category is B-3.

Ordinance No. 2015-200 To repeal City Code § 114-910.5, concerning the Brookland Park Boulevard/North Avenue parking overlay district PO-5, to remove the description of the district; to designate the PE-7 Brookland Park Boulevard/North Avenue Parking Exempt Overlay District; and to rezone certain properties along Brookland Park Boulevard between Montrose Avenue and Woodrow Avenue and along North Avenue between Essex Street and Crawford Street to the UB Urban Business District. To amend the official zoning map for the purpose of rezoning certain properties along Brookland Park Boulevard between Montrose and Woodrow Avenues and along North Avenue between Essex and Crawford Streets, to amend the official zoning ordinance to repeal the Brookland Park Boulevard/North Avenue Parking Overlay District, and to amend the official zoning map to establish the Brookland Park Boulevard/North Avenue Parking Exempt Overlay District. Of the 94 properties in the project area, 14 are proposed to be rezoned from B-2 to UB, four are proposed to be rezoned from R-6 to UB, and the remainder will retain their existing UB zoning. The City’s Master Plan primarily recommends Community Commercial uses for the study area, though portions toward the eastern and western boundaries are designated for Singlefamily (low and medium density, with densities of up to 7 units/acre and from 8 to 20 units/acre, respectively) uses. Since the rezoning proposes only business zoning districts for the study area, there is no increased residential density.

Ordinance No. 2015-201 To authorize the special use of the property known as 2519 Mandy Lane for the purpose of a family day home for up to 12 children located within an existing single-family dwelling, upon certain terms and conditions. The surrounding properties are also zoned R-4 Single-Family Residential and are occupied by single- family dwellings. The Richmond Master Plan recommends “Single-Family” for the block.

Continued from previous column

Meadowbridge Road and Six Points Parking Exempt Overlay District. The City’s Master Plan primarily recommends Neighborhood Commercial for the properties proposed for rezoning to Urban Business. Specific to the Meadowbridge commercial corridor, the Plan states, the Meadowbridge Road commercial corridor is appropriate for pedestrian-oriented neighborhood commercial uses.

Auto related businesses should be discourage, as should uses that require outside storage. Further expansion beyond the existing boundaries of Maryland Avenue to the north and 4th Avenue to the south should be discouraged. Revitalization efforts should promote the area as a neighborhood commercial district, emphasizing traditional pedestrian-oriented goods and services over more recent and inappropriate auto-related land uses.

Interested citizens who wish to speak will be given an opportunity to do so.

Copies of the full text of all ordinances are available by visiting the City Clerk’s page on the City’s Website at www.Richmondgov. com and in the Office of the City Clerk, City Hall, 900 East Broad Street, Suite 200, Richmond, VA 23219, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
