Starting point is 00:00:12 Welcome to the I Love Sebo Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller and thank you kindly for joining us on a Monday afternoon in downtown Charlottesville. It's a pleasure to connect with you on the water cooler of content and conversation here in Charlottesville, the University of Virginia across Almarl County, Central Virginia, and frankly, the Commonwealth. We've made a focus in 2026 of taking our content verticals and expanding them to include content that is more Commonwealth-specific. We still tie that, that to Central Virginia, but since we've kind of spread the content wings, if you may, the viewership and the listenership in 2026 is really escalated. We appreciate the support of what we do here. We work hard on this show, guys. We work really hard. The only thing we ask of you in return is that you like and share the show. So if you can do us the favor of hammering that like button right now, subscribing to the channel, leaving a comment in the comment section. That would be in the absolute world. to us share the show that would mean the world to us it's the only thing we ask of you a lot we're going to cover on the program i'm going to give my thoughts on the tony bennett court naming uh ceremony i mean i thought it was special i think everything tony bennett does is special the man has the mightest
Starting point is 00:01:30 touch and the the the aspect of including all the signatures of all the players and assistant coaches and his support staff, the water boys, the trainers, the folks that hold the clipboards and the sweat towels in his name. I mean, can you consider a more selfless or being third act than that? There were photos that were circulating on social media of former players at UVA on the hardwood at the John Paul Jones Arena, looking for their name in Tony Bennett's signature on the court. And it was special.
Starting point is 00:02:16 It was so symbolic of who Coach Bennett is as a person. I want to offer some commentary on it because I was frankly, you know, damn near close to move to tears. And it takes a lot to get me, you know, get me in the feelings and the emotions. But I did on Saturday. And then Virginia followed it up with one of its best wins at the same. season with Chance Mallory ice cold. I mean, just like cooler than the other side of the pillow at the free throw line against Miami. I want to talk about the Henley Middle School
Starting point is 00:02:54 Ice Truancy protest on the program today. Nine students were sent home. I'm curious if it's an official suspension. I have props I want to give to Rick Verhovaq and the Henley Middle school administration and their teachers. We hold folks accountable on the program, but we also try to give folks props where props is due. And Henley Middle School without question, manage this ICE truancy protest from this past Friday better than any of the four other, any of the three other protests. There's been four total that have transpired in Almar County and the city of Charlottesville over the last week in change. There was a plan in place. Only nine kids left school grounds.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And those nine kids that left school grounds were sent home to their parents immediately. You've got to give props to Rick Verhovec. I'll give you some perspective on Rick for Hovick on the program today. I've known Rick for Hovick for 25 years, which is wild to say things like that. I'm going to talk about UVA professors on the program today. We can make a convincing argument that professors, assistant professors, teaching assistants, grad assistants, researchers at the University of Virginia
Starting point is 00:04:12 are more commoditized and marginalized than they've ever been. And that's right now. You got Scott Beardsley as president. They had no say in who Beardsley was picked. Some say Beardsley was fast-tracked by a Yonkin board that was on its way out, a Yonkin board that was in battled at best,
Starting point is 00:04:32 about to be pink-slipped more realistically. That Yonkin board, Picks Beardsley, who's got a corporate consulting background and not an academic background. Professors, assistant professors, researchers, grad students, they had zero say in it. Now they're removed from collective bargaining. We'll talk about that on the program today. More commoditized than ever, perhaps, that topic on the show. A lot we're going to cover.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I'd like to highlight a part. partner of the show. Katie Mullins and her team at 919 Druid Avenue, drove by 919 Druid Avenue this weekend, a beautiful Belmontonian house. Absolutely beautiful. You talk a basement apartment that's income and revenue generating. You talk a remodel that has been done with champagne taste and finishes and fixtures. The asking price at 919 Druitt Avenue for a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom, bungalow in the city, $699,000. It's undercoming soon.
Starting point is 00:05:45 It's about to be live. I am extremely, extremely impressed with the upside of potential at 919, Druid Avenue and see this home in just a matter of a few years being valued at considerably more than that. And that's because Katie Mullins, Ben Mullins, and Chris Coiner has just done an awesome job. Walk to the downtown mall to Belmont. You're talking Uber rides of like five or ten bucks elsewhere in the city. 919, Druid Wickehauer's studio camera, then a two shot, my friend.
Starting point is 00:06:20 A lot we're going to cover on the show today. We'll start on the program as we welcome Tom Stardial and Vanessa Park Hill to the program. Randy O'Neill, Ron, Crookshank to the program. Thank you. Ron, I believe you're a first-time watcher. If you are, let us know how you found out about the show. We appreciate your support. The headline that you find most intriguing and wide,
Starting point is 00:06:42 Judah Wickhauer. I mean, I'm frankly pretty amazed that the Henley Middle School principal sent home the kids. But as you are, I'm impressed. and thank God he did because we're talking about middle schoolers here. Yeah. It's very different when it happens at the middle school level than the high school level.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I apologize for interrupting. Yeah, somebody I think in the comments last week mentioned the fact that, oh, well, what about senior skip day? And there is a vast difference between someone before, between young men and women who are nearly adult and someone and someone who's, 13, 14 years. 12. Potentially.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Sixth graders are 12. I'm just, yeah. Some sixth graders are 11. Some are 11. The Henley Middle School and Rick Verhovaq, the principal, I'm going to give you props to the teachers, the administration, and how this was handled. It was of the
Starting point is 00:07:49 four protests, the best managed so far. That in a matter of moments on the program. Nine students, sent home, I'm curious if this is legitimately qualified or registered as an official suspension for the nine students, because that is a mark on the permanent record. Do the kids... How are they sent home?
Starting point is 00:08:12 They left grounds, school property, and that was explicitly explained in a letter to parents beforehand the night before. If they do this, they will be sent home. I'm curious if those nine students officially suspended. There was an additional protest plan for the 3 o'clock hour outside of the allocated protest window at Henley Middle School. And Rick Verhovaek and his team, the principal and his team, were there at the doors to meet the middle schoolers that had planned, had cahooted, had strategized, had organized a second protest and said, get your ass back to the classroom.
Starting point is 00:08:58 At three o'clock in the afternoon. And kept it from happening. Oh, yes, Judah. So far removed you are from public school, especially middle school. Our seven-year-old goes to school until after three o'clock. And he's in second grade. I don't know anything that's anything wrong with it. Middle schoolers are going to school much later than that, high school even later.
Starting point is 00:09:16 So we'll talk about that on the program. A lot we're going to cover on the show if you want to one-shot meet Tony Bennett. I want to get two or three minutes on what we saw on Saturday. viewers and listeners, what were your thoughts? Here, mine. There's been so many acts of selflessness at our son's school, they call it being third. Our son's school is a private Christian school,
Starting point is 00:09:49 and they prioritize what being third is God, others, and then yourself. God, others, and yourself. This show is not about, religion. But that's just happened at what happens at our school, my son's school. God, others, and yourself.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Tony Bennett very much embodies that. How many times have we seen in Tony Bennett's term and time in Charlesville at UVA, Coach Bennett embodied the being third mindset? There was a time when Tony Bennett was in line for a sizable raise. His team was performing.
Starting point is 00:10:32 He was winning championships. He was winning ball games. He was contending for conference tournament titles, conference championships. He was making deep runs in the NCAA, and he had hundreds of thousands of dollars prepared to be given to him for performance. He earned it. No one in the community and no one in Wahoo Nation would have said otherwise, with Tony Bennett getting hundreds of thousands of dollars of more money.
Starting point is 00:10:59 In fact, we probably would have. have all said, you are underpaid coach. Tony Bennett in that time decided, said, I don't want the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Give it to my assistant coaches instead. Absolutely wild selflessness there, right? Being third. Then we see on the court naming ceremony on Saturday,
Starting point is 00:11:24 and it was beautifully done. His signature, remembered forever on the court. The only thing that went wrong with that court naming ceremony is that his signature, his name, was not on two positions at the John Paul Jones Arena Hardwood. It should have been on each half court. It was on one.
Starting point is 00:11:45 That surprised me. I'm not going to write on the parade. Within the Tony Bennett signature on the court, all the names of the assistant coaches, the players, the ones, the water boys, the towel boys, the towel girls, the clipboard holders, the chair runners, the video processors. Everyone tied to the basketball program had their name in small, very clear, easy to read detail. Also, is it commemorize? What's the word?
Starting point is 00:12:22 Commemorated? Commemorated in perpetuity within Tony Ben. signature. He takes the spotlight away from itself, himself, and gives it to others. And then during his remarks to those in attendance at the John Paul Jones Arena, he mentions his mom and dad and mentions everyone else but himself. It was the quintessential example of being third. And men and women, of all shapes and sizes, should have watched that 15 or 20 minutes. ceremony because it had me damn near close to tears.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Our benefit as a community and as a Wahoo community as fans, we benefited from Tony Bennett much more than he did from UVA. I sincerely mean that.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Special. I enjoyed it with our oldest son and my wife while our youngest son was napping. All right. Judah Wickhauer, let's weave you back in on a two-shot. parents were watching with baited breath on Friday afternoon as 11, 12, 13-year-olds. We're protesting in Crozet, Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement, and Border Patrol at Henley Middle School, which on paper is the top statistically performing middle school in Almore County and its public school system.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Frankly, probably any of the public schools, this is the best middle school from a state. statistical standpoint, SOL standpoint in central Virginia. Rick Rojovac, the letter was leaked to us. I actually counted it over the weekend by 142 sets of parents. I got 142 unique communication pings, if you may, from folks tied to Henley with Principal Verhovax, call them instructions. This is how you're going to protest. Some said, why is he giving them an out?
Starting point is 00:14:31 He's basically saying protests are not allowed, but if you do it, this is the way you do it. I understand that perspective, but now with the benefit of the hindsight, I think Verhova, the principal, his administration, Henley, and the teachers handled this protest as well as could possibly be done. Nine students step foot off grounds at Henley. Those nine were sent home. I'm curious if it's an official suspension for the nine. If I had to guess, I would say it's probably not. I would imagine that as I think we've seen with most of these schools, the protests are largely, if not, approved, at least, what's the word I'm looking for?
Starting point is 00:15:19 I think we have fair knowledge that teachers and administrators are behind at least some of the desire for students to protest. And so I would think that, that yes, there are consequences for leaving grounds of the school, especially as a middle schooler. But I would be surprised if the principal makes this punitive. Those were assumptions right there made by Judah. I was direct messaging with one Henley middle school teacher last night via Instagram.
Starting point is 00:15:56 We're not going to utilize her name. If you'd like to read the correspondence because you were a part of the show, it's on the I Love Seville Instagram. We do not utilize her name. We do not identify her, but it was probably a 20-minute interaction on IG DMs. She indicated that no one in the building was pro-protest. No one was against the protest. They were solely focused on the safety of the children.
Starting point is 00:16:25 she indicated that how this protest was handled. It was extremely strategic. She indicated that nine of the students were sent home. I don't know officially whether they were suspended or not. If I also had a guess, I would imagine that it's not a permanent record blemish. I would hope it, at the very least, inconvenienced parents to pick up their kids as a way of potential punishment for the parents that should then be conveyed to the kids.
Starting point is 00:17:01 The Henley Middle School students also had a plan, according to this teacher, protest for the 3 o'clock hour, early 3 o'clock hour, where administrators were made aware of this, and they met the students at the entry and exit points and told them to get their high knees back in the classrooms that they wouldn't be allowed outside the building. Rick Verhovaq I've known for 25 years.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I first met Rick Verhovaq when he was the head football coach at Amarro High School. I was in my early 20s covering R.J. Archer, the quarterback. Andy Argold was on that team. He was a defensive end and a tight end. I've heard through the Great Vine. This is a side note. I think this is, no, I can speak about this on the record. I can speak about this on the record.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Andy Arngold's A-squared pizza. is for sale in the Forest Lakes Shopping Center. If you're interested, let me know. I'm getting off track, but Verhovaec was the head football coach at Al Morrow High School, and he was leading young men in what was then the Commonwealth District. And Amaral High School was often outmanned and outnumbered to the Commonwealth District
Starting point is 00:18:11 because the Commonwealth District was a AAA District. And the enrollment, especially for a sport like football, student body size, determines a lot of success and football. And Almorel was one of the smaller schools of the Commonwealth District. So they were often middle of the pack. Six and four, seven, and three was a good year for Almore High School. But I watched for Hovac lead young men into adversity often on Friday nights. And he did it with, with integrity, with character. He did it the right way. He was always willing to speak to me. and I'm like a 20-year-old kid at the time.
Starting point is 00:18:51 After the game, after Amaral High School, after the football team, either one or lost. And in that, those confines or that environment of football, reporter and head coach, I got to know this person, and that relationship has continued, he is a fine man. And to have him manage what some would call a crisis, what others would call the First Amendment or students' right to protest,
Starting point is 00:19:17 depending on what side of the fence you're on, you could pick a few people better equipped to lead a strategy for how to manage this and to diminish or minimize as much collateral damage as possible. And I think they did it. Now that four schools, we've had four protests, Charlottesville, Monticello, Almarron, and Henley over the last week and a half,
Starting point is 00:19:42 the expectation is you'll probably see more of these. I think Henley probably gave you, the blueprint. And I'll say this again before I get off to the next topic. If we don't have consequences, look, we're all entitled to freedom of speech and the First Amendment. But just because we have the right to speak freely does not mean consequences are not associated with that free speech. It's important to realize that. There are multiple life lessons here. Life lesson, of course, you can protest. Life lesson, there's consequences to how you protest and when you protest and the time you protest and how you go about protesting.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And I think another dynamic that needs to be considered here is someone needs to ask the Almore County School Board, Matthew Haas, maybe this is a question for the Board of supervisors to ask of the school board. How much of taxpayer resources and taxpayer dollars have been allocated to these four protests? have incremental taxpayer resources been allocated to diminishing or managing or hedging collateral damage here? Because we know at Monticello High School and Almoreal High School additional patrol officers were in the vicinity to manage these protests. Do we just chalk this up while those police officers are already on the clock? So it's not additional revenue.
Starting point is 00:21:10 It's not additional in taxpayer resources. Or do we not see the reality is the opportunity cost of having additional police officers that are on the clock managing kids that are protesting walking down Ryo Road to Stonefield is the opportunity costs associated with the least safe community because resources are stretched thin and those resources are already thinly stretched to begin with. So who's going to get that data point? How much money taxpayer-wise is allocated to these four protests? Judah Wickhauer, your thoughts?
Starting point is 00:21:42 then we'll get to the viewers and listeners here on the program. Yeah, I think we've had a lot of great comments over the last week, and I'm glad to see that not everyone is so blasé with kids running out of school. I've also seen a lot of people think that we hate kids protesting, which isn't the case. We just want them to be safe, and we don't think that school time is the proper time for leaving protests, for leaving school, and the fact that so many people are okay with it,
Starting point is 00:22:35 are okay with kids just running around the city is a little strange. I've never had a problem with kids protesting in First Amendment. My only problem was kids protesting during the school day when they should be in classroom learning. Because kids have missed enough school already in the second semester due to snowmageddon and snowpocalypse. And the last thing I want is the educational gap to widen. Because private schools got into classrooms faster than kids with snowmageddon and snowpocalypse. They did not have two-hour delays and there's no disruption tied to these ice truancy protests.
Starting point is 00:23:12 It's very frank. And that makes folks uncomfortable because parents want even playing fields for their kids. but if we're not careful, those even playing fields won't be even for much longer. I want to give some love on the program to a new partner of the show, and that's Jerry Hooty-Rackliff and Jerry Rackleff.com. We've got a big announcement coming this week at Jerry Rackliff.com, which is the source of the source when it comes to Virginia athletics, Jerry Rackliff.com. If there's anything UVA, basketball, football, transfer portal, baseball, anything Wahoo related, it's Jerry Rackliff.com. The man has covered the University of Virginia
Starting point is 00:23:54 for nearly 60 years. He's an institution. He's in the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and stand by this week for a pretty significant announcement at Jerry Rackleaf.com, which we're excited to spotlight and feature on the show. Next headline, Judah Wickcaro.
Starting point is 00:24:09 What do you got? Next up, we've got Albaugh County versus the city. Who is more likely to cut real estate tax. So this is important. There was something on CIVO right now about Almaro County supervisors being either hesitant or unsure about cutting real estate tax rates. The Almore County assessments are out. If you haven't opened the letter already, your assessment is up.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Your anger, your bitterness, your disdain should not be allocated at assessors. or the assessor offices at the various jurisdictions locally. They have to assess your house-based at market value. Your disdain should be allocated to the elected officials who determine the real estate tax rates. Our friends, and they're watching the program right now, our friends, ladies and gentlemen, that are at CRP-C-C-Ville,
Starting point is 00:25:15 the... Let me get the... The Citizens for Responsible Planning, you can find them online at CRP-C-C-Ville.org. Citizens for Responsible Planning. They have a fantastic analysis on Charlottesville City property assessments, which you can find online at CRP-C-CVille.org forward slash 2026 underscore assessments. Just extremely analytical analysis on 2026 assessments in the city. I'm going to give you the Cliff Notes version for the talk show.
Starting point is 00:25:50 here. I try to relay information in the most succinct level possible, succinct way possible, and in an eighth grade, you know, eighth grade level. Here it is. People want to live here. Charlottesville and Almar County in particular. Almar County most particular. Any county in central Virginia that has the highest demand, it's Almar County folks, and that's period bar none. I was having a conversation with a extremely influential real estate broker this morning in the office, in the studio. We were talking about North Point and Brook Hill. If you haven't driven north of town, and I haven't driven north of town, I don't think in 42 months, north of Barracks Road. Actually, tongue-in-cheeked that, but it may be pretty close.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I've been told that at Brookhill and North Point, there's hundreds, hundreds of additional single-family detached homes and attached product type. And that these single-family detached homes and attached product type, 7,800,000, your entry point, a million plus is the norm. Our partners of the program, Stanley Martin, are building hundreds will give Stanley Martin some love. in Green County. Stanley Martin Holmes is dedicated to building homes that cater to each person's unique needs and lifestyles, high-quality single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums that you can trust with innovative building mythologies. You have a perfect storm right now in Green County,
Starting point is 00:27:33 on the Green Al-Moral border folks, and Northern Al-Moral at Brook Hill and North Point. And you have three extremely reputable builders. Corrin Capshaw's, River Bend Development, Frank Baylifts and Charlie Armstrong's, Southern Holmes, and Stanley Martin. And these three noteworthy builders are all building as the crow flies
Starting point is 00:27:59 within what, five, six miles of each other? And when three noteworthy builders, and you sprinkle in some Craig builders in there as well, are all building within five miles as the crow flies of each other, thousands of homes. And these thousands of homes, the ones in Green County, to the ones in Almaro County are going from, what, $6,500 to a million, $3,000,000, you have basically a small city being built within a city, a small city that's bridging Almaro County and Green County. And these folks are brilliant. They're dovetailing. They're writing the
Starting point is 00:28:40 hotels of the biotechnology Beltway and AstraZeneca and Rivana Station and Rivana Futures. Of course you're going to build product, incremental product, incremental housing type, and one of the soon-to-be epicenters of employment where hundreds of six-figure earners are going to be working 50 to 60 hours a week. It's genius. And when we're talking about assessments, your ire should not be allocated to the assessor's office. It should be allocated to city councilors and supervisors because they can choose to cut the tax rate
Starting point is 00:29:21 and they could ride the momentum of the incremental dollars that comes in with the assessed value, but lower the tax rate so you and me, me and Judah, you, the viewer and listener, can have the same bill in check, the same bills as the previous year. So I'm going to ask you the question. I'll ask you the question first, Judah.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Charlottesville City or Alamara County more likely to cut the tax rate because they realize us the citizens are rubbing two nickels and hoping to turn it into a quarter. I would have to say I see it more likely that the Al Barl County supervisors would lower the tax rate. But I don't think it's going to happen until we start to see some of the tax gains. coming from AstraZeneca and all this other stuff, the new rooftops and all that. So maybe five or ten years from now, but we'll have different supervisors by then, so who knows?
Starting point is 00:30:27 So who's your answer? My answer is I would find it more likely that Albuco would lower the tax rate. But I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Okay, so you think neither Alborough County supervisors nor Charlottesville City Councilors will cut the tax rate this year. That's correct. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Almara County is deliberating a $250 million high school. Charlottesville City Council has extremely legitimate headwinds associated with meals tax collection, sales tax collection, lodging tax collection, and assessments in the city that have not popped to the tune of Almaro counties. On top of that, Charlottesville City's got collective bargaining with teachers, with police. Everyone's unionizing. This is another example of why would you want to be a supervisor? 25% of the people support you, 25% of the people don't know your name,
Starting point is 00:31:32 and 50% of the people hate your guts. You really think hate. Despise you? It would seem to me, and maybe I'm wrong with this, And frankly, maybe I am wrong with this. It would seem to me the top way people vote is with their pocketbook, but maybe not in Amarral County. Because people didn't seem to gripe and offer grief or disdain for the four-cent tax rate from last year, the uptick.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah. If I had a bet it would be neither is going to cut the rate. Yeah. How about you, viewers and listeners? Regardless, you're going to have to do more with less with your health. budget. Whether you want to hear that or not. Anything I'm missing on that? I don't think so. Comments are coming in. We'll highlight some of them on the program today. Kate Schartz is watching the program. Queen of Ivy. She says our assessment went up
Starting point is 00:32:36 20 percent. She says they want to fund a new high school and there's no money for it. There's no chance the tax rate is going lower in Almaro County. Yeah. Not only, and she's right, not only Kate, do they want to fund a new quarter billion dollar high school, but they also have collective bargaining to deal with, with Almore County staff. That's why I think it is a really fair question to ask,
Starting point is 00:33:05 with the truancy protest, are tax dollars allocated to hedging risk? And parents have pushed back on me saying it's all about dollars and cents. Well, that's how the community in the world runs. Yeah. If you want a tax break, but our police and others are, you know, are, yeah, like you said, taking not only their time but resources to, you know, to protect them, guide them, whatever, that's, you know, that's tossing money away.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Not tossing money away, but you know what I mean. It's spending money where it doesn't need, where it didn't need to be spent. Jenny Hu says on the program that Henley Middle School departure, Judah, is 4.10 p.m. Wow. James Watson, William McChesney, welcome to the broadcast. Vanessa Parkhill watching the program. Nine students were sent home for leaving grounds. How many others participated in a way where they did not leave grounds?
Starting point is 00:34:11 Like a walk around the building. What was the remainder of the student body doing while the protest was going on? I've been told that the Henley Middle School truancy protest was the least attention. of all the protests and it was not even close. Alboral High School legitimately had hundreds of kids skipping school, walking in the street and walking to Stonefield. Charlottesville High School had hundreds of kids. Literally, my wife said she was navigating 45 mile an hour traffic in our family Ford Explorer
Starting point is 00:34:46 while hundreds of Charlottesville High School students were on the road. Jason Noble watching the program. He says his son participated as a middle schooler at the Covenant School upper school where middle schoolers at Covenant were invited to a discussion about ice and their warrant requirements. Six to eighth graders were welcome to gather during a study hall or lunch period to discuss the topic which was facilitated by the school. Jason Noble says safely within the wall. of the school. He said his son
Starting point is 00:35:26 participated in this and the turnout was great. That was weeks ago before all the protests done in a safe environment with teacher supervision with consideration on topic matter from both sides without folks
Starting point is 00:35:42 telling them how to think. It was an open forum. I think that's awesome. James Watson watching the program, the thing I can't wrap my head around with 29 Northern Now Marl Green County is with all that growth of pharmaceuticals and federal jobs. The only roadway they have is Route 29, which is already horrible during and after work hours. There's no plan to create a bypass or alternative route,
Starting point is 00:36:05 so it may up being a Fredericksburg in the next three years. I made the same comment to the real estate broker that was in our office. Can you imagine putting 2 to 4,000 incremental houses literally in the middle of Route 29? That's what's happening right now. That's what's happening right You have 2 to 4,000 incremental houses coming to the middle of Route 29 in the Polo Grounds, Northern Almoral County, Green County line.
