Augusta County builder guilty after taking $600k for unfinished homes

VERONA — A local businesswoman who charged two clients more than $600,000 to build homes that were never completed has been convicted of two felony charges. On Nov. 10, in Augusta County Circuit Court, Judge Shannon Sherrill found Amy J. Argenbright, 46, guilty of two counts of construction fraud. A two-day bench trial was held Oct. 20-21, but the judge said he needed additional time to sift through the evidence. Following the guilty verdicts, sentencing was set for next year. Argenbright, of A & Co, was involved in stalled construction projects for two new homes, evidence showed. Augusta County Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Caleb Kramer said she accepted payments for construction costs but said some of the money she received did not go toward the homes. In one instance, he said a $50,000 payment sought by Argenbright that was supposed to go toward one of the homes was instead partially used by her to pay off more than $19,000 on a delinquent mortgage she had through First Bank & Trust. A loan officer testified it was seven months in arrears. Defense attorney Thomas Weidner IV, who argued during Argenbright’s October trial that the case should have been a civil matter, said

KLUG: Increasing investment in U.Va. football is destined to fail

The University is not a football school. Unlike the University of Alabama, The Ohio State University and almost every other top football school in the United States, the University does not live and die for its team. When game day comes in Tuscaloosa or Columbus, the entire town is there, easily selling out stadiums that hold upwards of 100,000, while Scott Stadium struggles to fill beyond two-thirds capacity. Attending one of those universities elicits excitement from the majority of students, while the surrounding communities follow their teams with an almost religious zeal. Simply put, when people think about those schools, football is what comes to mind. The opposite is true in Charlottesville. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone whose first thought about the University would be football, instead of the Rotunda, academic tradition, Thomas Jefferson or Tina Fey.

Fitzgerald leads Riverheads; Fort gets first playoff win in 23 years

Jackson Fitzgerald ran for 156 yards and three touchdowns in Riverheads' 41-6 win over Luray in the Region 1B quarterfinals on Friday, Nov. 13. No. 2 Riverheads will host No. 3 Altavista on Nov. 20. Altavista beat No. 6 Surry County 47-0 to advance. Riverheads and Altavista met in Week 2 of the regular season with the Gladiators winning a thrilling 43-36 game in overtime. Against Luray, Riverheads finished the night with 341 yards on the ground and no passing yards. Sophomore Gage Hutton added 97 yards and a touchdown. Coach Ray Norcross said the Riverheads offensive line played really well, opening holes that the running backs ran through. Riverheads' defense kept Luray to the one late score and 187 yards, all on the ground. Luray was 1-for-7 passing but for zero yards. "They have a dream," Norcross said of his team. "Step two is next week." Norcross said he won't be satisfied until they get to where they want to be. Ultimately that's a state championship, but the coach has been doing this long enough to know that you take it one week at a time. "We have to play whoever next week," he said. "We don't worry about
