School board races draw a crowd 17 candidates vie for 8 seats -- so far

By Cher Muzyk

Times Staff Writer

There’s still about three months left until the June 20 filing deadline, but Prince William County’s school board races are already drawing a crowd.

As of this week, 14 candidates had filed for seven seats representing the county’s magisterial districts on the school board, and three had filed to run for the at-large school board chair position. That’s the most candidates vying for Prince William County School Board seats in at least 20 years, according to the Virginia Department of Elections.

The cavernous building near Potomac Mills that once housed a Gander Mountain sporting goods store is a work in progress – stripped to its concrete floors and bare walls over the last several months. But by late 2024, Prince William County plans to reopen the building as a “crisis receiving center” offering outpatient, overnight and short-term mental health care for adolescents through adults.

The model is the first of its kind in Virginia--most mental health facilities offer short-term or overnight care, but rarely both.

County moves to buy vacant superstore for mental health facility MENTAL HEALTH, from page 1 U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D) visited the building Monday, March 20, along with a cadre of local and state officials. They gathered inside to hear Lisa Madron, executive director of the county’s Community Services Board, describe plans for the ambitious goal: to give people a place to be assessed and treated for conditions ranging from serious mental illness to addiction, depression or anxiety.

The facility will use the “crisis now” model, which is new to Virginia but well established in Arizona. It serves both walk-ins and those brought in by police under a “temporary detention order” because they are at risk of harming themselves or others.

Residents gripe about rising tax bills, request funds for the animal shelter About 30 speak out at first county budget hearing

By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

Prince William County residents expressed concerns about high tax bills, advocated for more funding for the county animal shelter and asked for higher teacher salaries during the supervisors’ first public hearing on the fiscal year 2024 budget.

About 30 residents spoke at the meeting, which was held on Tuesday, March 21. Many were angry about their real estate tax bills, which have increased annually over the last several years and are projected to rise again in 2024, even though the actual tax rate is being decreased from $1.030 to $0.977.

“We’ve been promised and lied to that allowing corporations to build data centers in our county will lower our property taxes, but our property taxes have increased for 13 consecutive years,” said Paige Kenyon-Page, a resident of the Coles District.

“You’re reducing the tax rate while taxes are going up,” said Mary Loren. “You say the average tax bill is $4,900, but my tax bill is just under $5,000 and I live in a very modest house.”

Josh Quill, a Gainesville resident who is running for the Republican nomination for the 21st District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, said that he expects the nonprofit organization Willing Warriors to suffer under higher taxes.

Noell Shott, secretary of the Prince William County Animal Advisory Committee, speaks in support of extra funding for a veterinary staff for the animal shelter. to host retreats for wounded veterans and their families, and Squil says the organization’s money should be spent on the veterans rather than higher taxes on those properties.

“I feel as though we can look into the budget and find cuts,” Quil said. “It’s not only the homeowners that are impacted, it’s also affecting nonprofits in the area. Look into your hearts, I’m sure you can find the cost to be able to bring the rate down so that folks don’t see their bill going higher.”

Some residents said they are unhappy that the board voted to raise salaries of members of the board of supervisors, saying that the money could have been better spent elsewhere.

“There’s been a 70% increase in pay for the board chair—not for our teachers, not for our firefighters or EMTs, not even for our police force,” Kenyon-Page said.

Also attending the meeting were advocates

from the Animal Advisory Council, a group of citizens who advise the supervisors on matters relating to animal welfare. The group has been asking for funding for an additional three veterinary positions at the county’s animal shelter to improve care for the animals and reduce extra costs.

Veterinarian Patti Bright, who is the chair of the AAC, said that a veterinarian in a shelter is different from a normal outpatient veterinarian and that the expertise of someone trained in shelter medicine is important to properly care for the animals.

“They deal with issues that your general veterinarian doesn’t necessarily deal with,” Bright said.

“These are things like trauma, behavioral issues and infectious disease among populations. It is extremely important that we get the right expertise for the shelter,” she said.

School board races draw a crowd SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1

While the school board is officially non-partisan – meaning the parties can’t nominate candidates and no party affiliations are listed on the ballots – the local political parties can endorse candidates and are expected to do so in the coming months.

So far, all seven districts have at least one candidate, and five have at least two. The candidates range in age from 18 to 78. The Prince William Times talked to 13 of them about their goals for the school board’s next term and why they are running.

Brentsville

Two candidates are so far vying for the Brentsville District seat: incumbent Adele Jackson and newcomer, Erica Tredinnick.

Jackson, 45, of Nokesville, is seeking her second term. She has a master’s Adele Jackson - I degree in special education, has worked as a social worker and has taught for 16 years in three different school divisions. A native of northern Virginia, Jackson has twin sons who attend a Prince William County K-8 school.

Erica Treddinick Jackson is hard of hearing due to a lifelong hearing loss and said she is passionate about setting high expectations for all students especially because of her own challenges in school.

“Why go through barriers in life if you don’t use the experience to break down barriers for others?” she said.

Jackson said her first priority is student achievement and pledges to support all students’ academic needs. She said she prioritizes family engagement and will continue to work closely with families, students and staff and listen to all voices. Jackson said she supports the division’s post-pandemic “unfinished learning plan” to boost achievement because it is built on proven, research-based methods.

School safety is also key, Jackson said, adding that she will continue to push to improve safety and security in schools “because students can’t learn if they don’t feel safe.”

Jackson is a Democrat who was endorsed by the local party in 2019 and will seek the party’s endorsement again this year.

Tredinnick, 36, of Bristow, is a mother of three children who attend Prince William County schools, two in high school and one in middle school. Tredinnick owns a small business with her husband, an Army veteran who was wounded in combat. Tredinnick also works as an aide for Brentsville Supervisor Jeanine Lawson (R) and serves on both the county’s Parks and Recreation Commission and the Racial and Social Justice Commission.

Tredinnick said she is a longtime volunteer in her children’s schools and also worked as a substitute teacher.

If elected, Tredinnick said she will prioritize academics and wants to make sure “that the education that Prince William County Schools says they offer is actually happening.”

Communicating effectively with families and being transparent about both curriculum and budget, are also priorities, she said.

“Essentially, we deserve to know what they’re spending our money on, what they’re teaching our kids, and to have it clearly communicated to us,” she said.

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | March 23, 2023

“Instead of the needlessly divisive policies that our school system focuses on, I want to promote collaboration. ... I want to make sure that all kids are treated fairly, equally and appropriately,” she said, adding that she would be a voice for parents.

Tredinnick is a Republican and said she will seek her party’s endorsement.

Coles

Three candidates are vying for the Coles District school board seat, including incumbent, Lisa Zargarpur, 52, who is seeking a second term. Zargarpur’s three adult children all graduated from Prince Lisa Zargarpur - I William County schools, and she recently welcomed a grandson.

Zargarpur has two master’s degrees in education and the arts and is working on a doctorate in educational leadership. She works as a music teacher in Fairfax Stephen Spiker County.

Zargarpur said she wants to continue working toward the goals set out in the school division’s strategic plan and is committed to public education. “Education is the hope of the future … and teaching is the most honorable profession because your influence lives on in someone else,” she said.

Prioritizing academic success from pre-K to graduation; broadening ways to communicate with parents; boosting salaries for staff and making the job more “professionally satisfying;” becoming more environmentally sustainable; finding ways to reliably get kids to school; and continuing to work on school safety are priorities for her next term, she said.

Because kids are all different, “education is dynamic,” Zargarpur said, noting that every decision begins with the question: “How will this benefit our kids? … Even the smallest decisions make a difference.”

Zargarpur is the only Democrat seeking the Coles District seat and will seek the party’s endorsement again this year.

Newcomer Stephen Spiker, 37, has three children aged 3, 6 and 9, two of whom attend Signal Hill Elementary. Spiker has a master’s degree in survey research and works in market research.

Spiker said he wants “to improve the school environment and build a culture that is more responsive to parents’ concerns.”

Parent involvement is “treated as an afterthought and sometimes even treated as a nuisance,” Spiker said, adding: “That needs to change.”

If elected, Spiker said he will prioritize communication between schools and parents to share “what’s actually happening in our kids’ classrooms.”

He said he will also empower parents to be more involved in their children’s education and encourage them to assist with homework and help address student behavior issues at school. “Education doesn’t end when your kid gets off the school bus,” he said.

Focusing on the “basics of instruction” is also a priority, Spiker said, which he thinks will reduce teacher burnout and help with retention.

“Virtual learning was a disaster” during the pandemic, Spiker said, adding that he doesn’t support “Code Orange” days when students work from home because of inclement weather.

“We need to move away from this idea that kids don’t have to be in classrooms,” he said. Spiker is a Republican and said he will be seeking his party’s endorsement.

William Deutsch, a Republican who previously held the Coles school board seat from 2015 until 2019, has also filed to run for the seat. Deutsch did not respond to multiple interview requests.

Gainesville

Only incumbent Jennifer Wall, 52, has so far filed in the Gainesville District.

Wall is the board’s only member who was endorsed by the local Republican party and is an attorney and Jennifer Wall - I mom of three. Two are recent graduates, and one is graduating this year.

Wall said her goal was to “make our educational system work as effectively as possible” and is running again to build on that success.

“I see that schools assist our families and our community in making a really big difference in students’ lives,” she said. “Making our public schools as strong as possible is a public service. … Our students and families need really strong advocates … and I feel like I have a lot of wisdom and experience that I can bring to the table.”

Wall said she is “extremely proud” of her efforts to ensure that special education students and English language learners could attend school in person during the pandemic. Wall was among the school board members who pushed to return students to school as soon as possible.

“My greatest focus is academic success -- getting us back to where we were before the pandemic and exceeding those levels of academic performance,” she added. “That’s my top priority.”

Wall said she also wants parents to feel welcome in schools and feel like “valued partners” in their children’s education. The school division’s new “parent liaisons” will help achieve that goal, she said.

Wall said she prioritized school safety and advocated for school security assistants to be hired at all elementary schools.

“I’m proud of that because I think that really frees up our principals and our instructional staff to focus on instruction,” she said.

Wall said she will once again seek the endorsement of the Prince William County Republican Committee.

Neabsco

Incumbent Diane Raulston who has served as the Neabsco District representative on the school board since 2016, has not yet filed for reelection and is not expected to, according to her Tracy Blake former campaign manager, Tracy Blake, who is one of two candidates running to succeed her.

Blake, 45, of Dale City, has a master’s degree in industrial organizational psychology and is a stayat-home father of three children who attend Prince Padreus Pratter William County schools.

Blake served on the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee on Instruction and was the chair of the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee for Equity.

During the pandemic, Blake also served on the Return to Learn Committee and said he worked to help kids get back into schools and support families at that time.

Blake said he feels strongly about supporting all students and letting kids know the importance of persistence in education and in life. If elected, Blake said he will prioritize mental health and focus on social and emotional learning, which he says is important for academic achievement as well as behavior and mental health issues, such as bullying and drug and alcohol abuse. Blake said he’ll also ensure each school is funded adequately and push to expand preschool opportunities.

See SCHOOL BOARD, page 5

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | March 23, 2023

SCHOOL BOARD, from page 4 “There is a plethora of ways to be involved in the schools. I think we need to do a better job at meeting parents where they are and letting them know about these opportunities,” Blake said.

Blake said the school division has made strides in safety and supports those efforts as well as a proposal to bring weapon-detection systems to the county’s middle and high schools.

Blake has been an officer in the Prince William Democratic Committee and will be seeking his party’s endorsement.

Padreus Pratter, 38, of Dale City, is a father of two young children, one of whom attends a Prince William school and one who will next year. Pratter serves on the Prince William Human Rights Commission and is running for school board because he “wants to ensure that Prince William County Schools continue to be the very best they can be.”

Pratter, a graduate of Norfolk State University, has worked for the U.S. Department of Education for more than a decade. Pratter said he will use his experience to advocate for “students, families and educators who are at the heart of our education system.”

If elected, he said he will focus on academic excellence so all students can thrive, creating safe and inclusive school environments, and working to increase family and community engagement.

Pratter said he will “focus on policy, data and accountability … with the ultimate goal of driving the conversations in the board chambers back to what’s important for student success.”

Pratter said he will also seek the Prince William Democratic Committee’s endorsement.

Occoquan

Incumbent Lillie Jessie, a former principal at Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary School, has decided not to run again, but her husband, Richard Jessie, is so far the only candidate who has filed to replace her.

Richard Jessie Jessie, 78, is a Marine veteran who served three tours in Vietnam before resigning as a major in 1981. After earning his bachelor’s degree in accounting at George Washington University, Jessie worked in human resources at both MITRE and Lockheed Martin for many years before he retired as a manager. The Jessies have two daughters who graduated from Gar-Field High School in Woodbridge.

Raised by his grandparents in Dixon, Illinois, Jessie said he didn’t understand the value of education until he was older. “I never had any encouragement. ... I want kids to be better informed about what they can become,” he said.

If elected, Jessie said he will continue to push for an indoor track facility to be built as part of the 14th high school, which is slated for construction near Minnieville and Telegraph roads.

Jessie said he wants to be a voice for underrepresented communities, an advocate for academic achievement and will work to make schools safe places where kids feel good and are able to learn.

“We are a good school system, but we can be better,” he said, adding: “I am the best person to take over this seat.”

Jessie said he will seek the endorsement of the Prince William County Democratic Committee.

Potomac

Two candidates have so far filed to run in the Potomac District, two-term incumbent Justin Wilk, who received the Democratic endorsement, and newcomer Mario Beckles.

Wilk, 39, is the father of two Prince William County students, one in the autism program at Ashland Elementary School and another at Swans Creek Elementary.

Wilk works as a special education curriculum consultant and said he is proud of his service on the school board, pointing to the 10-classroom pre-K program at Washington-Reid Elementary School

and Potomac Shores Middles School as examples of what he has accomplished.

“I’m proven. I’ve delivered for this community,” he said. Wilk said he is a “pragmatic” leader and doesn’t “vote any type of party Justin Wilk - I line,” noting he voted three times to bring students back into schools earlier than former Superintendent Steven Walts recommended during the pandemic. Having attended over 2,200 events in the schools over the years, Wilk said being present in the community has been a Mario Beckles priority throughout his time on the board and he has tried to remain accessible to students, families and staff.

People “can always find me,” Wilk said, adding that he strives to give “parents a voice on the board.”

Wilk is a Democrat and said he will again seek the Democratic endorsement in this year’s race.

Beckles, 58, retired from the army as a lieutenant colonel after 32 years of service. He has five adult daughters, the youngest of whom graduated from Forest Park High School last year.

Beckles has a master’s degree and works for the Army as a civilian deputy comptroller.

Beckles said he is running for school board to bring a “pinpoint focus back to the basics” of reading, writing, math, history, civics and science. In elected, Beckles said he’ll focus on accountability and raising academic and behavioral expectations for all students.

“High expectations raise everybody up,” he said.

Beckles also said that he wants to encourage community members to volunteer in their neighborhood schools and said such opportunities should be better publicized.

If elected, Beckles said he will advocate for more family involvement. “Parents are first and foremost … and they should be consulted at anything that affects their child’s education and life,” he said.

Beckles is campaigning alongside local Republican candidates and has served as treasurer of the Prince William County Republican Committee in recent years, according to a meeting agenda posted online. But he said he will not seek the Republican endorsement in the school board race.

Woodbridge

Three candidates are vying for the Woodbridge District school board seat, including incumbent Loree Williams, who has held the seat since 2013. She is being challenged by the youngest candidate in the Loree Williams - I race, Jaylen Custis, 18, of Woodbridge, as well as Shantell Rock, who serves as chair of the Prince William County Racial and Social Justice Commission.

Williams, 45, is a mother of two sons, one who graduated in 2019 from the culiJaylen Custis nary arts program at Potomac High School and now has his own business as a private chef, and a fourth grader at Featherstone Elementary School who is in the virtual program.

Williams has a bachelor’s degree in integrated Shantell Rock studies with a specialization in conflict resolution and peacekeeping and has worked as a corporate administrator for over 20 years. Williams said she is seeking another term on the board “because

there is a lot of unfinished business” and wants to support the “forward progress of the school system.”

Williams said the school board collaborates well with Superintendent LaTanya McDade -- a relationship she calls “critical” to the success of the division.

Supporting the superintendent’s vision, advocating on the local, state and federal levels for adequate funding and ensuring the safety and security of all students and staff rank at the top of her priorities, Williams said. Williams said she will continue to encourage parent involvement in schools and looks forward to seeing the family relationships cultivated by school-based parent liaisons, whom she calls “critical keystones” in school communities.

Williams included advocating for a student representative on the school board, adding a school division ombudsman and adding an equity officer among her accomplishments.

“It is paramount to me to represent voices not heard,” she said.

Williams is a Democrat and will seek her party’s endorsement again this year.

Custis, 18, graduated from Forest Park High School in 2022 and plans to enroll at Northern Virginia Community College to study political science. He says his youth is an advantage because he can relate to students. Custis became interested in politics when he was elected president of Forest Park’s student council as a senior and began attending school board meetings.

After smelling marijuana wafting from some bathrooms at Forest Park, Custis said his first priority, if elected, would be school safety and security. He said he supports installing weapons-detection systems in high schools but said more should be done to combat drugs in schools, including fentanyl, by utilizing drug-sniffing dogs.

Custis also said bullying is a problem at all school levels but especially on buses and said he’d tackle that with ideas to hold students accountable. Custis said he would also focus on improving school infrastructure, making coursework more rigorous “to set students up for success after graduation” and supporting English language learners.

Custis said his values align with the Democratic party but he is “independent-minded” and “will always make decisions that put students first.” Custis said he is not seeking a party endorsement but will accept any “that align with his values and beliefs.”

Rock, 47, of Woodbridge, is a mother, an Army veteran and a paralegal. In addition to serving as the chair of Prince William County’s Racial and Social Justice Commission, Rock also heads up the local chapter of Moms Demand Action, a group dedicated to improving gun safety laws and supporting survivors of gun violence.

Rock grew up attending Prince William County schools and raised three adult children, ages 31, 29 and 27, who graduated from Prince William County schools. Rock and her husband are raising two adopted children and three foster children, all boys ranging in age from 6 to 18, one of which will graduate from Freedom High School in June.

Rock, a Democrat, said she is running for the Woodbridge seat because she’s “had enough. …

If I want to have change, I need to try.”

Rock said she is most concerned about school safety and a lack of academic support for the county’s most vulnerable students.

Rock said she supports collective bargaining in part because her mother-in-law is a 25-year employee of the Prince William County school’s transportation division. “When I say collective bargaining is near and dear to our family, it is. We all watch her work around the clock,” Rock said.

Rock said she will seek the Democratic endorsement but will remain in the race even if she does not receive it.

“To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican,” she said. “We should all want the best for our children especially when it comes to gun safety, getting drugs out of schools, and making sure our kids are ready to go to college.”

Brentsville planning commissioner announces run for supervisor’s seat

By Anya Sczerzenie Times Staff Writer

Tom Gordy, who represents the Brentsville District on the Prince William County Planning Commission, announced Monday his candidacy for the Brentsville District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

Gordy, 52, is vying to fill the seat that will be vacated by current Brentsville Supervisor Jeanine Lawson (R), who also announced on Monday her bid for board chair.

Lawson, 53, is vying for the Republican nomination to run against current Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large—or Wheeler’s Democratic challenger, Deshundra Jefferson. Lawson is not planning to run for her Brentsville district supervisor seat again.

In addition to announcing her candidacy, Lawson endorsed Gordy, a fellow Republican, to be her successor, saying that she believes he is committed to protecting rural areas and keeping data centers away from homes and schools.

“Tom has served his community and his country for many years, in many ways, and I am proud to support his candidacy for supervisor,” Lawson said in a statement shared by Gordy’s campaign.

Gordy released a statement announcing his candidacy and saying that his campaign would officially begin in April.

“For 16 years, my family has been proud to call Prince William County home,” Gordy said in the release. “However, our neighborhoods, schools and rural places are being threatened by unrestrained industrial development, and Brentsville

Tom Gordy is the epicenter of this challenge.

“As supervisor, I will protect our communities and rural open space by advocating for commonsense, smart growth principles that keep industrial activities away from our homes and schools and makes space for small businesses to thrive in Prince William County,” Gordy said.

Gordy said that he wants to protect the county’s “rural crescent” and opposes projects like the Prince William Digital Gateway, a 2,100-acre data center corridor proposed directly north of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, that would al-

low industrial development in the rural area.

“We need to protect our rural areas like the assets that they are,” Gordy said.

As a planning commissioner, Gordy voted in July to recommend that the county board approve the proposed Devlin Technology Park, a controversial data center project in the Brentsville District. But Gordy voted against the Prince William Digital Gateway, after an all-night meeting in September.

In an interview Monday, Gordy said he now opposes the Devlin Technology Park because of its impact on nearby neighborhoods and the community backlash.

“What I have learned made me change my mind,” Gordy said.

Gordy is the president of the Armed Forces Marketing Council, which is a business league of firms that supply consumer products for military resale.

He also served in the U.S. Navy Reserve for more than 20 years and was an active-duty sailor during Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to his release.

Gordy also represents the Brentsville District on the county’s Veterans Commission.

No Democratic candidates have yet announced a campaign for the Brentsville District seat on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors.

The Brentsville District is located in a Republican-leaning area of Prince William County. The district has been represented by a Republican on the county board since at least 2003, according to the Virginia Department of Elections.

Republican Jeanine Lawson announces her bid for Prince William board chair LAWSON, from page 1 In a news release, Lawson was critical of current Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, and the board’s five-member Democratic majority, all of whom were elected in 2019, saying they have pursued “reckless policies” that “put families last.”

Among her criticisms, Lawson listed tax bill increases over the last three years, the rising number of homicides in the county and “a prioritization of a multi-billion-dollar data center industry over residents.”

“Enough is enough. Our local taxes are through the roof,” Lawson said in a statement. “Unchecked development is rampant while conservation and concerns about our local environment have been tossed aside.”

Over the past two years, Lawson and Wheeler have been at odds over allowing increased residential and industrial development in the area of the county formerly known as the “rural crescent.” Lawson fiercely opposed both the county’s recent comprehensive plan update, “Pathway to 2040,” because it allows more dense development in parts of the rural area, as well as the “Prince William Digital Gateway,” which would open more than 2,100 acres in the rural area to new data center development directly north of the Manassas National Battlefield Park.

Last November, the supervisors approved a comprehensive plan

amendment paving the way for the digital gateway in a 5-2 vote, with both Lawson and Supervisor Yesli Vega, R-Coles, voting in opposition.

But the board has not yet rezoned the land to allow for the massive new data center corridor.

In an interview Monday, Lawson said she hopes the Digital Gateway rezoning won’t come before the board until next year and said she would continue to fight it.

“I am fully committed to defeating the Prince William Digital Gateway, and I certainly don’t support Ann Wheeler’s comp plan,” Lawson said. “And I would absolutely like to return to the preservation of the rural crescent.”

Lawson vied unsuccessfully last year to seek the Republican nomination for the 10th District congressional seat, a race she lost to Hung Cao, who ultimately lost to U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton, a Democrat.

Lawson said she only recently decided to run for board chair. She said her move was prompted in part by Wheeler’s lack of support for raising the county’s tax rate on computers and peripheral equipment, commonly known as the “data center tax” because data centers pay the bulk of such taxes.

The county’s current rate of $1.65 per $100 in assessed value is well below that of surrounding jurisdictions. The board proposed raising the tax rate to $2.15 in fiscal year 2024,

which begins July 1. Wheeler voted against the proposal along with Supervisors Victor Angry, D-Neabsco, and Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge.

Lawson has noted that she previously opposed efforts to raise the data center tax rate too high too quickly and has been generally supportive of bringing data centers to the county’s industrial areas because of the tax revenue they generate. The facilities paid about $101 million in local taxes in the current fiscal year, according to county budget documents.

But Lawson said Monday the county has made mistakes in allowing its data center overlay district to come too close to residential areas, which has prompted a backlash from western Prince William County residents. The proposed Devlin Technology Park, a plan to allow 14 new data centers behind neighborhoods near Devlin and Linton Hall roads, resulted in resident protests over the summer and earlier this year. The plan is currently on hold.

“I think we’ve learned from the errors of our past, and I’m willing to accept that and acknowledge that,” Lawson said. “One thing we’ve learned is we need to do a better job of mitigating (data centers’) impacts on neighborhoods.”

Lawson is the first Republican to announce a campaign for chair of the board of supervisors. Wheeler is

already facing a primary challenge from fellow Democrat Deshundra Jefferson, who announced her candidacy in January. Jefferson also opposes the Prince William Digital Gateway as well as what she calls general “overdevelopment” in the county.

Wheeler responded to Lawson’s announcement Monday with a sharply worded news release that called Lawson “an extreme MAGA Republican who is dangerous for our county.”

“Prince William County is the most diverse county in the commonwealth and the 10th most diverse county in the country,” Wheeler’s statement said. “We do not need a Trump-style celebrity politician who likes appearing on right-wing radio shows and aspires to higher office.”

Lawson said she rejects Wheeler’s efforts to bring national politics into a local race but said she would call herself “a proud Ron DeSantis Republican” or “a proud Glenn Youngkin Republican,” references to the Florida governor and the current governor of Virginia, both of whom are Republicans.

“I reject any type of partisan labeling,” Lawson said. “People don’t expect their local leaders to engage in hyper-partisanship, especially at the national level.”

POLICE BRIEFS Police: Man fatally shot outside Hoadly Road shopping center Staff Reports Police are investigating but have so far made no arrests in connection with a fatal shooting early Monday morning of a 37-year-old man in the parking lot of the Hoadly Market Place in the Prince William County area of Manassas, according to police.

Officers were called to the shopping center, which includes a Food Lion and a CVS, at about 1:18 a.m. on Monday, March 20, and arrived to find the man suffering from a

gunshot wound, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. As of Tuesday, he had not yet been identified pending notification of family members, Carr said in a news release.

The initial investigation determined that the victim and a female acquaintance were in the parking lot when they were approached by

14-year-old charged for possessing 2 knives at school A 14-year-old Freedom High School student was charged last week after he was found to be in possession of two knives while at school, according to Prince William County police.

The school resource officer at Freedom High School, located at 15201 Neabsco Mills Road in Woodbridge, was alerted at 12:50 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14 after a knife fell out of a bag belonging to a student during a physical altercation between the student and two other students, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman.

School personnel quickly sep-

arated the students and took possession of the knife. The SRO was notified and detained the student to whom the knife belonged. While investigating, the SRO determined the accused was in possession of a second knife, Carr said in a news release.

The student did not display either of the knives, and they were not part of any other active threat toward the students or the school. No injuries were reported, the release said.

Following the investigation, the 14-year-old boy was charged. The teen was being held at the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center as of Wednesday, March 15, the release said.

a vehicle. At some point during the encounter, shots were fired, striking the victim, the release said.

“Preliminarily, this incident does not appear random,” Carr said in the release.

More information will be released when available. Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to call the Prince William County Police Department tip line at 703-792-7000 or submit a web tip to: pwcva.gov/policetip.

Police are investigating after a 37-year-old man was fatally shot outside the CVS at the Hoadly Market Place on Monday, March 20.

Woodbridge man charged with attempted felony child abuse A 25-year-old Woodbridge man was being held without bond earlier this week after he was accused of nearly striking a 24-year-old woman and two young boys, a 7-year-old and 3-year-old, with his vehicle.

Police were called to the 1400 block of G St. in Woodbridge at 5:35 p.m. on Sunday, March 19, in response to a domestic incident. The investigation revealed that the victims, the woman and her two children, were engaged in a verbal altercation with a family member that escalated. During the encounter, the family member got into a vehicle and drove toward all of the victims, forcing the children and the woman to jump out of the way to avoid

being struck by his vehicle, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County Police Department spokeswoman.

One of the boys reported minor injuries during the incident, Carr said.

While investigating, officers determined the man was intoxicated and took him into custody without incident, Carr said in a news release.

Following the investigation, Orlin Edguardo Molina Reyes, 25, was arrested and charged with three counts of attempted malicious wounding, two counts of attempted child abuse and one count of driving under the influence. Reyes was being held without bond as of Monday, March 20, the release said.

OPINION WWW.PRINCEWILLIAMTIMES.COM

Prince William Times | March 23, 2023

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tempered Steel Tempered Steel is the reason that we have lived in Prince William County’s rural crescent for the last 26 years. Twenty-seven years ago, Steel carried me from Fauquier County to the top of Bull Run Mountain, bringing me to witness the rural beauty of Prince William County.

From that moment, our family knew we had to find a home in that valley that we saw and leave behind the hubbub of Arlington.

It never bothered me that Steel was a free giveaway, determined by the hunt crowd to be not tall enough and not the right breed for their interests. He was strong, beautiful, loyal, patient and talented. He was magnificent; he was mine; and I loved him.

Steel succumbed to the old age of 35 on December 14, 2022. He died the morning after our Prince William Board of County Supervisors adopted the new comprehensive plan – Pathway to 2040. His passing is a tangible symbol of everything that is wrong with their current drive to urbanize and industrialize every corner of our county, particularly their disappearing of “rural” from all planning.

“Tempered steel” is now my mantra. The blood, sweat, tears and time spent fighting for what we love has tempered me forever. I refuse to accept what “they” are trying to do to my home and to the home I want for my daughter, my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

The quality of life we all risk losing matters too much to just watch it being incrementally chipped away by their flawed decisions.

A community of like-minded county citizens from all districts continues to expand and come together, standing up and speaking out against the wrongs being thrust upon all of us by those who should know better. We are defending our families and our neighborhoods against the predators attacking from all directions -- worst of all from our own elected leaders.

We are not going away. There will be a reckoning at the June 20 Democratic primary for the chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. And then again in the November elections, when all those supervisors in majority positions will have to deal with citizens determined to choose better representation for themselves and their families and to bring integrity, honesty and sustainable planning back to the dais.

We will make certain that Tempered Steel’s legacy and message endures.

Money can’t buy you love The lesson of Kerensa Sumers’ defeat in the recent special election to fill the Gainesville District supervisor’s seat despite her huge advantage in campaign cash is: Money can’t buy you love. There is a limit to what even lavishly funded promotion can do to convince a skeptical public weary of tall tales from dubious messengers.

Despite this revelation, expect the same playbook to be trotted out in the upcoming campaign to re-package Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler. The same cast of characters who have been shamelessly wielding their influence throughout her administration – data center developers, trade unions and Digital Gateway landowners – will open their checkbooks again in the expectation of extending their reign over the public interest. Trust your actual experience and not the one that will be slickly manufac-

tured for you.

The narrative is already being woven. Bipartisan opposition to a developer-friendly, environmentally destructive agenda is being painted as the traitorous defection of “Bob Weir Democrats;” in other words, those who support Weir, a Republican, because of his stance against runaway data center development. It couldn’t possibly be that thousands have had enough of their principles being betrayed and their trust being co-opted only to make fat cats fatter.

Sailors say: “Any port in a storm.” The storm that has raged over Prince William County for the past two years has produced strange bedfellows and strategic alliances necessitated by the common cause to save our communities.

ELENA SCHLOSSBERG Haymarket Resident

Residents gripe about rising tax bills, request funds for the animal shelter FUNDS, from page 3 Noelle Shott, a member of the advisory board, said the panel has been advocating for the cost of adoptions to be raised from $45 to $200, which will include the cost of spaying and neutering pets at the shelter rather than sending them to a third-party clinic, which can often cause the animal to stay at the shelter days longer than it otherwise would.

“All surrounding counties have already adopted in-house veterinary staff. Their adoption fees include spaying and neutering,” Shott said. “It’s better, more consistent care for the animals, reduces the length of their stay and utilizes a fully functional on-site veterinary suite that is not operational today.”

Shott also said that the extra funds would help the animal shelter start a veterinary science program in local high schools and with Northern Virginia Community College.

Some teachers from Prince William County schools also spoke at the meeting, including members of the Prince William Education Association.

The PWEA is a union of teachers and other people who work in the education field, such as teaching assistants, cafeteria workers and bus drivers.

The teachers who spoke highlighted the lack of staff and low teacher wages in the county, with one teacher saying that she’s been physically hurt and threatened by her young students. The teacher

declined to give her name to a reporter after she spoke.

“I’ve never seen such a high level of desperation among teachers,” said Jerod Gay, who represents the PWEA at the statewide Virginia Education Association. “We have almost 1,000 positions not staffed.”

Brandie Provenzano, a Battlefield High School teacher and vice president of the PWEA, said that the 5% raise that the school board is proposing for teachers will barely cover the increasing cost of their healthcare.

“To invest in the county, you have to invest in the children and the people who teach them,” Provenzano said.

Baking up a dream

Kettle Run grad, an executive pastry chef, appears on national baking show

By Ashley Simpson

Special to the Fauquier Times

As professional chef April Franqueza approached her Kettle Run High School graduation in 2010, she wasn’t like her classmates who were preparing for their next four years at a college or university. She didn’t know what she wanted to do – or what colleges she was interested in – so she took a year-long break to plot her next move.

Then, that summer, her dad passed away following a battle with cancer. But he left his daughter with some enlightening words.

“One of the last things my dad said before he passed away was, ‘You should go to the Culinary Institute of America,’ and that led me to apply and go there,” Franqueza, 30, said in a recent interview. “And that ended up really being my place.”

It all makes sense when Franqueza looks back at her childhood, when many of her favorite memories involved cooking and baking. Still, she said she didn’t seriously consider becoming a chef until her dad’s words sunk in.

“Going through a parent’s death at such a young age really changes your perspective in life,” she said. “My younger brother was 14 at the time, and I didn’t want to leave him. I stayed at home for a year and worked at a local pastry shop.”

That experience helped Franqueza qualify for admission to the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, which set her future course.

Now, she is the executive pastry chef at High Hampton Inn, a renowned and luxury historical estate in Jackson County, North Carolina, and a participant on the current season of The Food Network’s reality show, “Spring Baking Championship.”

As viewers of “Spring Baking Championship” might hear April say on the show, her life would likely have been totally different had her father not encouraged her to pursue a dream along a competitive, difficult path.

“Otherwise, I would have gone to a normal college,” she said. “But one day, my dad came home with all these papers about the Culinary Institute,

April Franqueza prepares a dish for the show.

COURTESY PHOTOS

April Franqueza, a 2010 graduate of Kettle Run High School, on the set of The Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship.” and then a year later it all worked out. … Look where it got me. It drew the course of my life.”

“I oversee the entire pastry function, helping make anything we serve,” Franqueza said of her job at High Hampton Inn. “We do all of our baking – all bread, pastries, cookies, you name it – in house. We make everything. I write the menus and the recipes. It’s a lot, but it’s seriously my dream job. I still get to do baked goods, but I also do plated desserts and get to experience restaurant life.”

Franqueza’s husband, Scott, whom she met at the CIA, also works at the inn as a chef.

Franqueza comes up with every dessert menu, which always consists of four different options and rotates every three days. She said she loves the opportunity to be innovative and creative and has a running list of ideas and ingredients on her cell phone for whenever an idea for a new dessert combination or concept comes to mind.

While Franqueza loves cooking all kinds of dishes, she said she has always been drawn to pastries – from pies to cakes to croissants.

“I do love cooking savory food, but pastry is my first love,” Franqueza said. “Our days at High Hampton Inn are 11 to 12 hours, and every day is fun. The act of making something that you know someone is not going to eat every day is so satisfying. I make sure nothing goes into production unless it’s the best it can be, and I love that these desserts and baked goods can be so special to people. When people tell me the fresh bread reminds me of their grandmother’s, it touches my soul.”

Franqueza’s desserts have clearly touched a lot of people. She and Scott have been invited to bake and cook on “The Today Show” twice over the last two years.

“The first time, ‘The Today Show’ was looking for chefs for a New Year’s segment last year, and Scott’s and my anniversary is New Year’s, so it was special timing,” Franqueza said. “The producers asked if we would do a special demo.

I made a s’mores dessert for New Year’s Eve and then cinnamon rolls for New Year’s brunch. Then, they asked us to come back for a similar segment for Valentine’s Day this year.”

So, Franqueza was no stranger to television when The Food Network sent a message to her on Instagram about participating on Season 9 of “Spring Baking Championship.”

“This wasn’t the first time they had asked me to participate, but it was the first time that my

Watch “Spring Baking Championship” on The Food Network on Mondays at 8 p.m. schedule allowed me to be away for long enough to film, which takes four weeks,” she explained.

“There were 12 competitors, and each season lasts 10 episodes. When I arrived in Knoxville, Tennessee, to film, I didn’t know anything about my fellow competitors, so from the beginning, I was a big ball of nerves.”

Throughout the competition, the bakers had a set amount of time to prepare desserts that adhered to the theme: Love. This was all too appropriate, considering the host was Jesse Palmer, the host of “The Bachelor.”

“There were three judges and eliminations for each episode,” Franqueza said. “What’s really hard is, let’s say you have 90 minutes to do something, and you forget to do something or make one small mistake when rushing. Then, while you wait to be judged, all you can do is think back on what you did and why you aren’t proud of it – how you could have done it better. And then you have to sit through the judging process, which can just be brutal when you know you didn’t deliver the best you could.”

Being a part of the competition meant withstanding a lot of pressure, but Franqueza said she was glad she got the experience.

“It definitely made me recognize which areas I need to work on,” she said. “I definitely found myself saying multiple times, ‘Wow, I haven’t made this in 10 years.”

Franqueza said her advice to people who have the urge to pursue dreams outside the norm is to be their own biggest cheerleader and to surround themselves with others who cheer for their success.

“I really think that believing in yourself – and understanding that anything is possible – is key to realizing even the craziest of dreams,” she said.

“At the same time, you have to expect that things are going to be hard – but not impossible – especially when you have a great team in your corner.

“If you had told me when I was 18 that I’d be going to the CIA, going to France and Spain to cook and study culinary culture, and then eventually be on The Food Network, I wouldn’t have believed it,” she added. “And, that all happened by the time I turned 30. I can’t even fathom what can happen in the next 10 years.”

PATRIOT BASEBALL PREVIEW

‘HE SMOKED IT OVER THE TREES’

Pierce’s mammoth homer sets tone in Pioneers’ 12-1 win over Unity Reed

By Matthew Proctor Special to the Times

With one out and a runner on second in the bottom of the second inning, Patriot was already in firm control of Tuesday’s early season district clash with visiting Unity Reed.

Then junior Luke Pierce added the exclamation mark.

On a 1-1 count, Pierce got his pitch and hammered it over the center field fence for a two-run home run, putting the Pioneers ahead 10-0. Pine trees lie just behind the fence at Patriot’s field and Pierce’s shot cleared them easily.

“He got all of that, that went over the trees. He smoked that one, so that’s a nice swing by him,” Patriot coach Nick Grove said.

The Pioneers plated 12 runs in the first two innings to post a 12-1 five-inning mercy win, which was over in less than 90 minutes before 8 p.m. “I thought our guys did a really nice job of staying short and quick to the baseball,” said Grove, whose squad improved to 2-0 and 1-0 in the Cedar Run District.

Featuring elite starting pitching, Patriot expects to remain one of Prince William County’s prominent baseball powers. Consistently harboring state tournament aspirations, the Pioneers went 15-8 last year and advanced to the Region 6B tournament for the second time in two seasons under Grove.

See PATRIOT, page 22

Jordan Capuano (above) will play at UNC-Wilmington and is one of Patriot’s three Division I-bound senior aces, along with Nathan Barrett (University of Virginia) and Jakob Foster (Mount St. Mary’s).

Patriot watched fellow Cedar Run District member Freedom win the Class 6 title last year. The Pioneers hope to make regions and make a state tourney run this year.

Junior left fielder Luke Pierce smiles as he rounds the bases after his second inning two-run homer.

Pioneers boast three aces in Capuano, Barrett and Foster PATRIOT, from page 21 Against Unity Reed, senior righthander Jordan Capuano proved how special Patriot’s pitching can be, striking out four and allowing one hit in two scoreless innings before being pulled with the Pioneers comfortably ahead.

“I thought he did a really good job. I thought he commanded the ball, moved it around. His velocity looked good. His breaking ball is really sharp. He’s one of our top arms,” Grove said.

Capuano, a UNC Wilmington commit, makes up one-third of Patriot’s future NCAA Division I pitching rotation and is the designated hitter when he’s not pitching.

Other aces in the rotation are seniors in Nathan Bassett, who’ll pitch at the University of Virginia, and Jakob Foster, who’ll pitch at Mount St. Mary’s.

“We think we have three really good arms. Well, we think we have a lot of good arms,” Grove said. “I think pitching is maybe our strong point. We’re going to have to pitch well to win.”

After losing 15 seniors, the Pioneers’ lineup is revamped. Grove will tweak it from game-to-game, but Tuesday’s was very effective, as all nine starters picked up at least one hit in the first two innings.

At the top of the order, sophomore outfielders Grady Lenahan and Luke Sullivan are dangerous once they reach base with their speed. In three at bats against Unity Reed, Lenahan reached base three times, stole two bases and scored two runs.

“I think that Grady is a catalyst, I think he does a really good job. You get him on base and get it going, baby, because we’re off to the races,” Grove said of the East Carolina commit.

Seniors Caleb Ramey and Kam Mahoney bat third and fourth. Playing second base, Ramey drove in two runs while Mahoney, the first baseman, hit a ground ball in the second so hard that it rolled all the way to the

center field wall for an RBI triple.

The shortstop is sophomore Dominic Tilden, a powerful hitter who had a very productive game on Tuesday. Batting fifth, he crushed the first pitch he saw over the center fielder’s head for a two-run triple. In the second inning he drove in another on a line drive double to left.

At the bottom of the lineup, Grove bats four juniors. Left fielder Luke Pierce, who crushed the home run to center, bats sixth with third baseman Remington Lee batting seventh.

Batting eighth is the designated hitter Luke Peacher, and catcher Jack Dennis hits last.

While the Pioneers were launching balls all over the yard with six total extra base hits, Grove prefers his team to make solid contact, rather swinging for the fences.

“I just want to hit line drives and get base hits. I’m old school, so I don’t do all the launch angle stuff.

I don’t want guys hitting fly balls, they’re easy to catch,” Grove said.

“We’re trying to get up there, have good at bats, get base runners on and keep the line moving.”

Playing in a very competitive Cedar Run District that saw Freedom (South Riding) win the Class 6 state championship last year, Grove is focused on getting his new-look lineup into their first Class 6 state tournament since 2017.

“Our goal is to be competitive, do whatever it takes to qualify for the regional playoff. And with our pitching, if they pitch well, we feel like we have a chance to be in ball games. And if we execute, we think we can win ball games,” Grove said.

With Patriot’s elite pitching, the stage is set for a huge year.

“We can’t throw a shutout every time, and we’re not going to score ten runs every time. So, we’ve got to play complementary baseball, good pitching and defense and timely offense. If we can do that, we got a shot,” the coach said.

Thelma Ruth Lunsford Thelma Ruth Lunsford, 99 of Leesburg, VA passed away on March 15, 2023, in Stephens City, VA. She was born on January 12, 1924, at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C. to Chester Frye and Lucille Mason Frye. She was the wife of the late Eugene Lunsford. In addition to her parents, Thelma was preceded in death by her siblings, Ethel Dillman and Lloyd Lunsford.

Growing up in Waterford, VA, Thelma spent much of her time with her brother Lloyd, exploring the village, jumping out of the hayloft into hay piles, and climbing trees. She attended God’s Bible School In Cincinnati, OH, and graduated from high school in Leesburg.

As a teenager, Thelma became acquainted with the Lunsford family when she befriended Christine and Francis. Gene came into her life shortly before joining the Army to serve in World War II. She kept a job in Washington, D.C. during his deployment. They married upon his return on April 5, 1945. They became D.C. residents, and welcomed their first son, Larry, also at Sibley Hospital. Shortly after, Gene built their house, Buckland, while Ruth built Tom, their second child. Both arrived finished in January 1951-a new home, and a new son.

Thelma was a member of Nazarene church. She spent years of her life teaching the love of the Lord, both to Sunday school students, and to her own sons. She did this while living the way she taught-by the Bible. She loved to read, but the Bible was always her favorite. She also loved southern gospel music.

The Lunsfords took up residency in many counties in Virginia, including Prince William, Fauquier, Warren, Loudoun, Fairfax and Frederick. They also saw many parts of the world together, including a 4.5 year stay in Asmara Eritrea, Ethiopia while Gene was working for the Army. Their other travels took them to Africa, the Near East, and Europe.

Gene and Thelma purchased Dad’s Arco Station, where they both worked. In her later years, Thelma enjoyed a lot of her free time putting together jigsaw puzzles and crocheting. Thelma was a fantastic cook, who loved sharing and spending time with her loved ones. She had a special place in her heart for dogs-particularly chows-and spending time with the people she loved.

She is survived by her two sons: Larry Lunsford and his wife, Carolyn, and Thomas Lunsford; six grandchildren, twenty-six great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren.

The Lunsford family will receive visitors on Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at 10:00AM at Moser Funeral Home, with a funeral service to immediately follow at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place following the service in Broad Run Baptist Church Cemetery.

Walter Carlton Rogers Walter Carlton Rogers, 63, of Middletown, VA passed away on February 5, 2023 with his family by his side.

He was born on December 23, 1959 in Alexandria, VA and is survived by his wife of 30 years who adored him, Eloisa Victoria Rogers, “Elvi.” She called him, “Darling” and she was his “Baby Doll.”

Carlton is survived by his three children who each called him their Hero: Amber Rebekah Jones and husband, Brett Jones; Carlton David Rogers “Bubby”, and Angelina Victoria Rogers “Nina”; one granddaughter, Avery Rebekah Jones, and another beautiful grandchild on the way.

Carlton was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Elizabeth (Hand) Rogers and father, James Perry Welford Rogers. He was named Walter after his paternal grandfather and Carlton after his father’s best friend. He is the third of seven children and always noted that he was the only one without a Bible name: Deborah Carroll (John), James Rogers (Lisa), Jonathan Rogers (Cathy), Joseph Rogers (Gwynanne), Benjamin Rogers (Paula), and Samuel Rogers (Connie). His family also includes many nephews and nieces, first and second generation, that Carlton loved dearly.

Carlton was born in Alexandria, VA but later grew up in Marshall, VA. He grew up with a wonderful family that loved and honored God. Carlton accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior at the age of 10.

Three years later, God called him to the ministry. Since a young boy, he always had a sincere love and reverence for God. As a young adult, he attended Rhema Bible Training Center and then Victory Bible Institute, both in Oklahoma. After Bible School, he moved back to Virginia. He started his own custom painting company which he ran for two decades in Fauquier County. Carlton had a great reputation because of his outstanding work ethic. In time, his business grew, and he was very successful. During this time, he began attending and serving at Faith Christian Church for 11 years. During the last 3.5 years, he worked on staff with Dr. Decker and Delores Tapscott.

In 1990, God specifically spoke to him and told him that he would Pastor a church in Front Royal, VA. Despite the success of his business, his deepest desire was to pursue the call that God had on his life. In May 2000, he and his family pioneered Dynamic Life Praise and Worship Center in Front Royal, VA where Carlton was Founder and Senior Pastor for nearly 23 years. Carlton is best remembered for his love for God, his family, and people. With his sparkling blue eyes, his mischievous smile, and his trademark thumbs up indicating that “all is well,” he ran a tremendous ministry of excellence that was full of God’s love and power.

Carlton went through some challenging seasons in his life which gave him a tremendous compassion for hurting people. He had a special place in his heart for the ‘down and out’ and was uniquely used by God to help love people to life. Carlton was a very humble man and always stayed small in his own eyes, yet he truly lived a life of great impact.

Carlton’s wife and children have determined to take all that he invested in them and carry on the ministry that God began through him.

His legacy will live on as they continue to love God and love people as Carlton did. Dynamic Life will continue to have a tremendous impact in their community so that the dreams that God put in Carlton’s heart will continue to come to pass for generations to come. Carlton will be laid to rest in a private family burial.

A Celebration of Life Service will take place at Warren County High School Auditorium this Friday, March 24 at 6:00 pm (155 Westminster Dr, Front Royal, VA 22630). The service will be conducted by a partnership of four men who each played a unique and special role in Carlton’s life: Dr. Decker Tapscott, Pastor Phil Privette, Sr., Rev. Mark Hankins, and Pastor Cecilio Mitchell.
