250 demonstrators hold peaceful protest in Courthouse Square Those gathered remembered victims of racism and reinforced that black lives matter

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

About 250 protesters, mostly wearing masks, gathered in Courthouse Square in downtown Warrenton Sunday afternoon to decry the death of George Floyd of Minnesota. Floyd died in police custody when an officer kneeled on his neck as he died. That officer, Derek Chauvin, has been TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/ROBIN EARL charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.

demonstrations around the state and the country have not been.

Main Street was closed to traffic and many Old Town stores were shuttered during the demonstration. Warrenton police officers were present to keep the street open for traffic traveling to and from Waterloo Street, Alexandria Pike and Winchester Street.

A sheriff’s office drone hovered above the crowd throughout.

The local protesters said they were there to bring attention to systemic racism and police brutality. Several protesters remembered George Floyd’s last words before he died in police custody.

Fitness facilities are now able to reopen after two months of being closed to any onsite operations, but with many restrictions in place. Workouts can only be conducted outdoors and in groups of not more than 10 people.

On May 15, most of Virginia – including Fauquier County – entered Phase 1 of Gov. Ralph Northam’s

plan to lift restrictions imposed during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Fitness centers in Virginia had been closed since March 15.

In practice, the many restrictions now in place for Phase 1 mean that relatively few of the most dedicated exercisers are able to access in-person workouts; the businesses face an uncertain future.

The butterfly effect at Middleburg Humane

LEGAL NOTICES

The Equine Companion Program: It’s safe, it’s fun, it’s a way to help

By Betsy Burke Parker

Notice from the Commissioner of the Revenue

Special to the Times

The theory that a small change can have a large impact was proven within minutes into an innovative new program at the Middleburg Humane Foundation. Staff and volunteers found a unique way to put social distancing out to pasture at the Marshall animal rescue facility.

The Equine Companion program, which started last May 27, invites individuals and small family groups to spend an hour with any of the six equine residents at MHF. Director of development Katelyn Sapp said program participants can bring a chair or a blanket, a picnic, a book to read, or games or music to play. They’re matched with a horse or two and escorted to the wide, grassy alleyway between pastures.

It’s a way to get outside, get out in the country, interact with horses and give back to needy animals, Sapp explained. She said that in this time of quarantine and home schooling, the program is a win-win for everyone involved.

“We just thought of Equine Companion last week,” Sapp said. “Some of these rescued or surrendered horses aren’t well socialized. And people don’t have a lot of options for outdoor activities with a lot of the parks still closed and schools and businesses still in (flux.) The obvious side effect is that everybody benefits.”

Participants sign up online, Sapp said, by selecting a one-hour time slot. When they arrive, Sapp or another staff member takes visitors to an assigned location, giving them a bag of carefully measured horse treats to suit the diet of the paddock occupants. They get a brief tutorial, if required, about horse behavior, and how to safely feed the treats to the animals.

Then, the hour is theirs.

Roman Vargas, 2, worked up enough nerve to feed a carrot stick to Darla, in the first session of the Equine Companion program at Middleburg Humane in Marshall.

Jane Cox takes part in the new Equine Companion program at Middleburg Humane Foundation in Marshall, reading a story to a formerly neglected horse currently at the facility.

Brittini Vargas was first in line on Wednesday. She brought 2-yearold Roman, daughter Elena, 4, and a picnic basket from their home in suburban Aldie where they’ve been locked down since mid-March. Sapp handed Elena a book, “Baby Animals,” and led the family to a small paddock.

Seven-year-old molly pony mule Darla hung back at first, watching warily as the family approached.

Sapp said Darla sparked the Equine Companion program when she was diagnosed with founder, a metabolic condition causing lameness and requiring diet restrictions. She was separated from her mustang mare herdmate in the adjacent grass pasture and placed in a sort of quarantine. Darla can see her buddies, but she’s lonely, Sapp explained.

“We were joking that one of our volunteers should sit and read to her,” Sapp said. “The more we talked about it, we decided that would make a great activity for people, especially these days. You get outside, you interact with animals, you help socialize these horses – and mule – that are less acclimated to people, and we get more potential adopters coming in the doors.

“My phone’s been blowing up since we announced it. It went viral.”

Darla was surrendered from a neglectful situation, a similar story to the five other horses currently living at the facility. They’re all up for adoption, though each has an issue making them more difficult to place.

Darla’s issue is that she was nearly feral, said MHF Executive Director Rose Rogers.

Those gathered remembered victims of racism and reinforced that black lives matter PROTEST, from page 1 The crowd seemed to be evenly split among white and black residents; all those interviewed were Fauquier residents or employees.

Arleena Allen of Warrenton and her friend Jasmine Morton organized the protest through social media, to recognize racial injustice and reinforce the idea that “black lives matter.”

Allen, 20, was asked why she organized the protest. “If I don’t, who will?” she asked in return.

She said it was very important to her that the demonstration be peaceful. She said she knows from personal experience that racism is everywhere, even in Warrenton. She remembered being called a “N-----,” several years ago, in Walmart, and it stuck with her.

Morton said, “We need to be heard.” She mentioned the protests Saturday night in Manassas, which had turned violent. “That’s not something we want to happen here.

We are going to occupy this space and make our voices heard.”

Morton emphasized that she hoped the protest would not be a single moment. “This is just the beginning. We want people to vote, mobilize and make a difference.”

Protester Sherelle Smith-Robinson echoed that sentiment with a sign that read, “This is a movement, not a moment.” Smith-Robinson said

Arleena Allen of Warrenton, one of the organizers of Sunday afternoon’s protest. that “of course this is personal for me,” as she looked over toward her husband, who was also protesting.

Theresa Smith, who was there with her two sons, choked up when asked about her reason for being at the demonstration. She just looked at her sons, Jessie, 19, and Terrel, 17, as her reasons.

Jessie Smith said he didn’t want to live in a world where you get pulled over and have to be afraid of the police.

Cora Inez, 18, from Bealeton, said she came to the protest “because it was the right thing to do. People

have been killed in senseless violence … We need to protect our fellow citizens.”

Pearl Bruck of Warrenton said, “Enough is enough! How many times has this happened to a person of color? It’s got to stop. It’s 2020.

We demand change.”

Jesse, who preferred not to provide a last name, said he was there to “stand up for racial justice, for George Floyd and all the other people killed by police.”

Cheyenne Feno said that “people of color have been oppressed since way back. People talk about it, but no one’s been doing anything about it.

It’s time to let our voices be heard.”

Gabby Brock, 22, and Justin Alston, 24, were among those lining the sidewalk in front of the Old Jail Museum. Brock said, “I’m ready to educate myself and take a stand to help educate others” about racial injustice.

Ho’ola Bush held a sign with the names of African Americans who had been killed by police. “I woke up and read the news and felt sick.

Police brutality … there are people dying. It got to me.”

Shawn and John Morton were present at the protest to support their daughter Jasmine. “We want to make sure this is an issue that gets addressed, so we can make our community better, not only here but across the nation,” said Shawn Morton. “November is the next step,” she said. “Register, vote, vote absentee, make sure your voice is heard. ... We want all races to come together.”

Jasmine Morton’s mother said she was proud of her daughter. “She wanted to make sure it was a peaceful protest.”

The Rev. Tyrone Green, who is the pastor at the Hearts Delight Baptist Church in Catlett and also the chaplain for the sheriff’s office, led a prayer from the Old Courthouse steps, remembering the death of George Floyd. “What happened there could happen here,” he said.

“We can come together … America is the home of the free, but it needs to be free for all. We are free by blood, not according to skin color.

Green said after the prayer that he has known Allen since she was in the youth group at his former church. “She was so shy back then.”

He grinned, “But now, talk about a bold spirit.”

He added that when he heard about Allen’s idea for the protest, he thought, “I was not going to let one of my babies be out there without me being here.”

Green was a calming influence when a man wearing a “conservative activist” T-shirt and a gun on his hip began yelling at the edge of the crowd.

Jonathan Maxwell of Warrenton told the protesters that they had been indoctrinated into believing that police brutality has a racist origin. Although he claimed to “love black people,” he called the protesters “zombies” and shouted statistics about black people killing white police officers.

Maxwell said, “If you attack me, I have the right to respond with See PROTEST, page 5

About 250 protesters took part in the demonstration Sunday.

Looks like Middleburg Spring Races and Virginia Gold Cup are a ‘go.’

No spectators allowed, but tune in to livestream telecast June 13, June 27 Steeplechasing returns to the Virginia circuit next Saturday for the June 13 Middleburg Spring Races. But other than participants, horse handlers and officials, no one will be there to watch.

According to a June 1 National Steeplechase Association release, the 100th annual Middleburg Spring Races will be held at Glenwood Park June 13, and the Virginia Gold Cup at Great Meadow near The Plains on June 27. The events “will be conducted under health and safety best practices mandated by the Virginia Department of Health to control the spread of the novel coronavirus and the disease that it causes, COVID-19,” wrote NSA’s Don Clippinger.

Virginia’s Department of Health detailed standards for racing as part of its Phase 1 reopening under the Forward Virginia program. Attendance will be limited to trainers with horses in the races, handlers, jockeys, essential race-meet officials, veterinarians and meet physicians.

Owners will not be permitted to attend the races. Races will be lives-

treamed online.

“We will strictly adhere to the standards set by the Department of Health,” NSA president Al Griffin, Gold Cup co-chair and a resident of Marshall said in the release. “As Virginians and Americans, we are committed to controlling the spread of this disease, and we are gratified that we now have the go-ahead to race for the benefit of our horsemen.”

The races will be held using guidance from the CDC and Virginia Department of Health, including social distancing, face masks and vigilant hygiene.

More than 220 entries fill 11 races at Middleburg Spring, headed by 2019 Virginia Gold Cup winner Andi A’mu in the co-featured Middleburg Hunt Cup. Last year’s steeplechase Eclipse champ, Scorpiancer headlines the Gwathmey hurdle handicap.

The Middleburg Spring Races were rescheduled from April, the Gold Cup from the first Saturday in May. More at: nationalsteeplechase. com.

PROTEST, from page 4 deadly force.”

Jason Grant, who lives in Prince William but works and shops in Warrenton, stepped in front of Maxwell to give an impassioned speech.

“All of us saw a man take his last breath,” he said, referring to Floyd.

“Do not let this man tell you that you do not matter.”

Green engaged Maxwell and tried to reason with him. “You are telling these people they don’t have the right to be here … These people are not your enemies; they are your neighbors.”

After unsuccessfully trying to convince Maxwell to stop yelling at the protesters, Green addressed the crowd. “Ignore this man. Don’t let him get in the way of your right to protest peacefully.”

The crowd took up the chant, “black lives matter.”

About 4 p.m., members of the crowd began a march down Waterloo Street to end the protest.

Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill said about the event, “In response to the tragic and senseless death of George Floyd, a peaceful protest was held today in Warrenton. The protest reflects the values we share as a community: that we are all one human race and that injustice towards some is injustice against all.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL

Sherelle Smith Robinson and her husband were among the demonstrators.

“By assembling peacefully and vocally today, the organizers have amplified their message that there are systematic issues that need to be addressed.

We share in the anger over the death of George Floyd, and we recognize that it is up to all of us to be agents of change.

We commend the protesters for their efforts to bring people together peacefully to speak out against injustice.”

School division planning for multiple school-opening scenarios

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Administrators of the Fauquier County School Division will not know what the fall schedule will look like until at least mid-June, said Superintendent of Schools David Jeck in a May 27 video address. “We should have a much clearer picture by then of what fall will look like,” he said.

He’s pretty sure, though, that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools won’t open their doors to accept students on Aug. 12, as planned.

“As soon as we have more information and are able to be specific and accurate, you’re gonna have it. ...

Right now, we are at the mercy of the state.”

The options are many and varied: An all-remote learning environment? A late September opening? Perhaps schools will be open, but only 10 children will be allowed on a school bus. Will

everyone be wearing face masks?

And there is always the possibility that once schools have welcomed students back into classrooms, a sudden order from the governor will slam the school doors shut again. Jeck said in that case, the school division would have a plan in place to kick remote learning into gear within 24 or 48 hours.

As Jeck said in the video, “it’s complex,” largely because so much is still uncertain.

The school division, in an attempt to be ready for any possible scenario, has established eight different committees to work on the various options.

Summer school

In addition to assuring students and parents that his staff is planning for whatever comes, Jeck announced that summer school will be held July 6 to 24, Mondays through Thursdays.

There will be three tiers for students: tier 1 is for

any kindergarten to fifth grade or sixth to eighth grade students who would like to make sure they can keep learning during the summer; tier 2 is for high-risk students that may be in danger of falling behind if no lessons are held because of the pandemic; tier 3 is for the most at-risk students that need special attention. Each school administration will decide which students fall into each category.

A “tier 0” will be for parents who want to be better equipped to help their children learn at home.

Jeck also said that any child who needs a device to use during summer school will be able to get one. “We’ve already provided 300 Chromebooks and a handful of hotspots.”

Jeck promised more updates; he said he’ll be releasing new conversational videos every week, to keep parents and students apprised of the latest news as the summer progresses toward fall.

The Equine Companion Program: It’s safe, it’s fun, it’s a way to help HORSE, from page 3 man interaction. In a matter of minutes, Darla went from hiding behind her shed to gingerly accepting treats from outstretched hands large and small.

The chestnut molly mule – at 14 hands, she is small to an adult but enormous to 2-year-old Roman – hung back from the fence at first when he proffered a slice of carrot.

Like Darla, Roman was uncertain.

Darla approached tentatively. Roman dropped the treat and retreated into his mother’s arms.

Darla watched Roman. Roman watched Darla.

She took another step. She sniffed the orange nugget. She picked it up, she crunched, and the deal was sealed.

“Look!” Sapp cooed encouragement. “She likes it! You did it! Here,

Elena, you try.”

With the aplomb of a confident older sister, Elena poked a carrot through the wire. “Here, Darla,” she said. The mule kept her feet planted far from the fence but stretched her neck and gently accepted the offering from Elena’s palm.

“I can’t believe it,” executive director Rose Rogers, watching nearby, shook her head. “Two days ago, we couldn’t get near her. Today, she’s taking treats from our hands.

“People are so excited about this program. And we’re excited by the response.”

How it happened

Brittini Vargas heard about the MHF program on her neighborhood Facebook page last week. She scrambled to sign up.

“It’s been a struggle with no day

care,” she said. “Coming up with educational activities to keep these kids engaged all day, every day, for 10 weeks has been an adventure.

“I read about this and thought this was an incredible opportunity. Bring the kids, get out in the country, indulge Elena’s love for horses. And we’re helping animals get adopted.”

MHF was founded in 1987 and moved to a 23-acre facility last year.

The all-volunteer operation raises funding through an on-site dog grooming salon and a thrift shop in Marshall.

At any given time, the facility cares for some 60 animals – dogs, cats, horses, livestock and exotics.

Weekday slots in the Equine Companion program are available for the next two weeks. Residents can sign up and find out more at middleburghumane.org.

PUBLIC SAFETY 1-year-old boy found alone, playing in the road, police say

A Marshall man was arrested for felony child endangerment and possession of marijuana Thursday.

On May 27 about 8:30 a.m. Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to 911 calls about a small child playing in the roadway in the 11500 block of Va. 55 (John Marshall Highway) near Markham.

Sgt. James Hartman of the FCSO said that one caller advised they nearly struck the child in the roadway. When they arrived at the scene, deputies found a 1-year-old boy in the front seat of a car that belonged to one of the people reporting the incident. Investigation revealed the identity of the child and parents.

Hartman said that when deputies contacted the mother, she advised that the child had been left in the care of his father, Matthew Baxter, 34.

Deputies found Baxter at his home. Hartman said that an investigation determined Baxter had used marijuana and fallen asleep; the child was able to leave the house and walk to the road. Marijuana was

found in plain view inside the residence, said Hartman.

An investigation resulted in the charges, the child was turned over to his mother, Hartman said.

Warrenton police: Teen jogger reports she was followed by black pick-up truck

Last week, a black pickup truck was following a 15-year-old girl while she was jogging in the 300 block of Gay Road, according to the Warrenton Police Department. Police reported that the truck may have been displaying “Farm Use” tags.

The girl told police that she had seen the truck while jogging on Wednesday, May 27, and Thursday, May 28, between 12:30 and 1 p.m.

Police reported that yesterday, the truck blocked half of the road where she was running; when she changed direction, the truck accelerated past her and blocked the road in the other direction.

The truck windows were tinted, so the girl was unable to provide a description of the driver, police said.

Homeowners in the area are asked to review their surveillance

camera footage and contact Officer R.J. Kniatt at 540-347-1107; rkniatt@warrentonva.gov with any information.

Brookside community helps to rescue injured goose

For residents looking for a little good news, Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office reported that for the past week, citizens, deputies and the local conservation police have been searching for an injured goose in and around the Brookside area of New Baltimore. “Numerous reports of the goose with a fishing hook stuck in its chest were received but the goose remained elusive,” he said.

On Thursday, May 28, a citizen on Lake Drive called in after spotting the goose laying under a tree in the yard.

Cpl. Christy Kiernan of the FCSO Animal Control Unit responded and was able to catch the goose.

Although suffering from the fishhook embedded in her chest, she was doing OK, said Hartman, and was transported to Blue Ridge Wildlife in Clarke County for treatment. He anticipates, “She will be ready to fly south for the winter after recovering!”

Fauquier County’s wireless broadband network to double this summer

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff R eporter

Six additional towers in Fauquier County will be added to the county’s broadband network by the end of the summer, according to Cedar Run District Supervisor Rick Gerhardt.

Operated by Data Stream Broadband, the new internet broadcast points will add to the six already in operation through the county’s broadband initiative. Three additional towers are expected to go live this fall, Gerhardt said.

Currently there are two operational towers in Warrenton and one each in Casanova, Calverton, Morrisville and Goldvein.

Five towers will be added to the network by early July, Gerhardt said, significantly adding to the availability of Data Stream’s signal in the northern part of the county.

These towers are located at Vint Hill, Pignut Mountain, Bear Wallow, Bealeton and Marshall.

A sixth tower, located in Hume, should be operational by the end of the summer.

Towers located in Blue Mountain, Sumerduck and Brandy Station are planned for the fall.

Depending on the topography of the surrounding area, residences within approximately five miles of a tower should be able to receive a broadband signal, Gerhardt said, although several factors could make that distance greater or smaller.

Residents of Fauquier County receive a discounted rate when purchasing an internet plan from Data Stream. Plans start at $29 per month and go to $89 per month.

Gyms begin to reopen for outdoor exercise -- with many restrictions GYMS, from page 1

Old Town Athletic Campus

Kim Forsten, the owner of the expansive Old Town Athletic Campus in Warrenton, said that the two-month closure of the gym has made her realize how important exercise is to her clients.

“I have never believed more in what we’re doing than now,” she said. Since Phase 1 began, five areas in the parking lots surrounding the gym facilities adjacent to Walker Drive have been converted into workout spaces, complete with large event tents to keep rain and sun off the exercisers.

“It’s not the greatest situation for our membership, but it’s a start,” Forsten said, explaining that because of the Phase 1 restrictions only 45 members and five staff – 10 people total in each area – can participate in workout sessions at any given time.

Although the outdoor sessions are “a really positive stepping stone” toward normal operations, she said that a lack of guidance from the state government about what the future will look like makes planning difficult.

“We’ve made plans and then they’ve been changed,” she said, citing the fact that the beginning of Phase 1 was moved from its original date of May 8 to May 15. She has received “no clear guidance on Phase 2 from the governor’s office,” she said.

Owners of gyms in particular, “have a very deep concern for public health,” she said. “I believe so deeply in what we do,” she elaborated, citing the benefits to both physical and mental health that regular exercise can bring, along with the stringent sanitation practices that were in place even before the pandemic.

For the people who exercise regularly, “it is essential to them,” she said, a not-so-subtle reference to the divide between businesses deemed “essential” and “non-essential” by government entities during the pandemic.

Forsten was careful to express positivity, however, despite the uncertainty and general frustration with the situation. “We are going to figure it out. We’ve got to keep focusing on what we can do – keep fighting.”

She concluded, “I’m not going to focus on the stress. I’m going to focus on my responsibility.”

Chestnut Forks Athletic Club

Chestnut Forks Athletic Club, off U.S. 29 outside of Warrenton, has a fitness center, pool, café, tennis courts and a golf simulator. “It’s almost like having five businesses at once,” said Derek Maloney, who manages the club with his wife, Beth. They are in regular contact with the health department to try to navigate the regulations governing each facet of the business.

The Maloneys said that the spacious parking lot, some of it shaded by trees, has proved a popular workout space with trainers and members alike as the fitness center has offered outdoor exercise classes outdoors since May 15. The club’s outdoor tennis courts are now open – the indoor courts remain closed - and the pool is set to open this month provided government regulations do

While being prohibited from using indoor spaces is not ideal from a business or fitness standpoint, both Maloneys stressed the importance of reopening to the long-term viability of the club. “We have to do it sooner than later, because it comes down to the bottom line,” Beth Maloney said, adding later, “As a business we’ve got to keep pushing on or else we’re not going to be here anymore.”

CrossFit Warrenton

Live and recorded video workout classes, along with at-home challenges, have been available to members of CrossFit Warrenton during the pandemic, said Crystal Willis, who owns the specialty gym with her husband, Justin. “But you can only do that for so long,” she said.

On May 27, Willis was outside her Second Street gym leading six members in a workout session.

The setup was improvised; Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer facilitated an arrangement with an adjacent accounting firm so that the gym could utilize two cramped parking spaces for outdoor workouts.

Those participating in the session were spread out, some under tents, others in a blocked off space in the street. They had brought their own equipment, most of which had been loaned to them by Willis for at-home workouts while gyms were closed.

Jesse Hebert, 39, of Warrenton, was one of the members participating in the workout. “It sucked” when gyms closed, he said. “It was hard, especially at first.” He credited Willis for making video classes available online and keeping communication open between members. “I love [CrossFit],” he said. “It’s my therapy, my outlet. I’m not motivated to do it by myself.”

Kelsea Andresen, 29, of Warrenton, was also there working out. Now eight months pregnant, she said she began attending CrossFit classes last year in anticipation of starting a family. “I was determined to be in the best shape of my life,” she said, adding later, “I've felt phenomenal throughout my pregnancy and I believe the gym has been a major contributing factor to why I feel so good.”

The community aspect of CrossFit is also im-

portant, she said, making the gym closures especially difficult. “We're wired to live in community, and I think the last few months of separation have been difficult for most of us in some capacity.”

Mike Stumpo, 57, of Warrenton, was part of the next session. He agreed about the value of the community that forms around regular group workouts in addition to the more direct benefits, which he credits with improving his mental and emotional health as well as his physical health.

“You really do develop a bond with the people who come here,” he said. The inability to come to the gym has been “dreadful.”

Jackie Elo, 27, of Warrenton, also attends regular workouts at CrossFit Warrenton. Now that outdoor workouts have resumed, “I feel a lot better. I’ve been sleeping better.” She added with a laugh, “and losing the weight I gained over quarantine.” She said that since May 15 she has more greatly appreciated the benefits of the regular workouts and has come to classes more regularly than before the pandemic.

CrossFit Vint Hill

Another area gym, CrossFit Vint Hill, is owned

by Rob and Caitlin Jenkins and is also offering outdoor workout sessions. “Outdoor workouts have been working well,” Rob Jenkins said in an email, “but there's nothing like being inside our space and having access to our facility.”

Like other gym owners, he said, “In my opinion, fitness and health are essential,” citing the emotional and mental benefits of exercise.

Anytime Fitness

Richie Parsons owns the Anytime Fitness franchise in Warrenton with his wife, Charissa. In normal times, the gym is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The gym is offering limited outdoor workout sessions on the sidewalk in Warrenton Village Center; they are usually attended by the same core group of individuals, he said.

While the ability to host outdoor workouts is a nice step for a small number of gym-goers, “for a lot of gyms, it’s not really that helpful,” he said, especially those who do not have large outdoor spaces they can utilize. “On the surface, [allowing gyms to operate outdoors] seems like a concession, but it’s not really a long-term solution,” he elaborated.

On the financial side, because of the extremely limited revenue being generated now, “it’s really not that different from being closed,” he added.

“No one should think that this is, in some way, helping gyms stay in business.”

He said later, “We are offering [outdoor workouts] because we can, but somebody needs to get in the governor’s ear and explain the situation to him,” referencing the sanitation practices already in place before the pandemic.

Since the pandemic began, members have had access to an array of online workout classes, he said, “but working out at home is just not really a good solution for most people.”

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | June 3, 2020

Trust is key to successful reopening People have different interpretations of what is and is not acceptable behavior right now, and at what pace our towns and economy should reopen.

As I go to Giant, or Food Lion, I see Plexiglas screens and most patrons wearing masks. At other locations, I’ve watched as some ignore social distancing requirements, others don’t wear masks, and everyone has different interpretations of what are essential services and purchases. Gov. Ralph Northam’s announcement that all Virginians will be required to wear masks while inside public spaces helps clarify at least one of those requirements.

For businesses that are open, or businesses reopening, I think most do or will generally endorse social distancing practices and follow the governor’s guidance. Having said that, how do you practice social distancing during a haircut? Is a mask enough? At church, if parishioners sit in separate pews and wear masks, does that get the job done?

What about restaurants offering outdoor dining, with spaced tables?

Is risk sufficiently reduced? Who is right and who is wrong?

This started me thinking about the Bible and verse John 8:7. You may not remember the story, but I bet you remember the moral of the story: “… Jesus said unto them, He

that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.”

Dr. Asaf Bitton, a primary-care physician and public-health researcher at Harvard’s School of Public Health, had some good advice: “There’s been a false dichotomy between people in the business-reopening camp and people in the health camp. As if either side doesn’t want the other.

“What I have told my friends in the business communities is that you need trust in order to reopen your economy. And just because you reopen your business doesn’t mean that it’s there. You can’t declare trust by fiat. You have to build it. People have to have the sense that going to your place of business, resuming their daily life, will not entail an undue, overwhelming risk for them or their families.”

I don’t pretend to have the answers, but I am going to have some empathy for my fellow citizens as they too wrestle with these questions. For everyone, maybe we can all show a little empathy and understanding right now, as we rebuild the trust in our community. It’s something to keep in mind over the coming months, as we reopen our country.

MAX HALL Marshall

Warrenton Police Chief issues statement on Minneapolis tragedy Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis released a statement Friday afternoon on the recent death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed while in the custody of four Minneapolis police officers. Over the last few days there have been demonstrations, some violent, throughout the country in protest over his death.

“As we continue to watch the incident in Minneapolis unfold, I feel like it is important for our community to hear from their chief of police. The video showing the murder of George Floyd is extremely disturbing and quite frankly, disgusts me. I cannot think of any scenario where the force used on Mr. Floyd while handcuffed would be justified.

“Every day your police officers serve this community with dignity and respect, and often times under very difficult situations. We enjoy tremendous support from our community and to that I say, ‘thank you.’

“I also realize that this support did not happen overnight and should never be taken for granted. The Warrenton Police Department has worked tirelessly over the years to foster strong relationships with its community and we continue to build on those relationships today -- from our

A message to the community from Sheriff Mosier The recent tragedies that occurred in Georgia and Minnesota are egregious and have far-reaching impacts on communities and law enforcement agencies throughout our country. The deaths of two African-American men involving bias is shocking to us all.

The national upheaval over the unnecessary loss of life again focuses America’s eyes on the issues of policing and training, regarding the use of force by law enforcement agencies. The misuse of force is unacceptable and needs to be dealt with swiftly and all involved need to be held accountable.

When I was first elected sheriff, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office began to focus on defining our identity in terms of service to the public. We consider ourselves to be guardians of our community. We are building law enforcement leaders to serve as facilitators and problem solvers.

We believe that every deputy and employee has the potential of being a leader. From the moment our men and women are sworn in, they take an oath to protect and defend, and therefore, to serve as good examples for the community.

At the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, we have created a culture in which we have a sense of duty to intervene when we individually or collectively witness behavior on behalf of a deputy that is unprofessional and or would be a violation of law.

Communities have a right to expect more. If uniformed officers observe their colleagues using poor judgment in handling an incident and do not intervene or when it’s clear that another law enforcement officer has done something wrong, citizens have a right to and should ask questions.

Recently, Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis, Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook and I joined a community discussion. Our focus was on how law enforcement would handle a similar incident as the one that took place

in in Glynn County, Georgia. Could what happened to Ahmaud Arbery in Glynn County, happen here?

My response to the question of whether local law enforcement was fair and impartial in the Georgia case is “no.”

And now, we have another unthinkable death at the hands of a police officer in Minnesota. The death of George Floyd is flagrant. “How could this have happened?

What was filmed in a video, by a bystander, showing a police officer compressing the neck of a suspect for several minutes with other officers watching is appalling.

Fauquier County is committed to the protection of the civil rights of everyone. The Sheriff’s Office became accredited a few years ago through a rigorous process, which makes us accountable through continuing checks and balances. All of our sworn personnel have or will go through intense crisis intervention training, as well as continued leadership development training.

A former assistant attorney general with the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, once noted that often community engagement is missing in the police departments that they investigate. We in Fauquier County are committed to continued community engagement. We gain our legitimacy to police from those we serve.

Through town hall meetings, community discussions, the Sheriff’s Advisory Board, having our deputies visible at community events, the Coffee with a Cop program, public hearings and many other avenues, our citizens have opportunities to speak their minds and to be heard. I have an open-door policy and am willing to speak with individuals and groups in my office.

If in the event something were to go wrong in our community, we would be transparent and hold those responsible accountable under the law.

ROBERT P. MOSIER Sheriff, Fauquier County

Community Church Coalition to our Community Action Team that will be working on developing internal policies to ensure your police department is operating under 21st-century policing best practices.

“While this dialog is important, understanding the history of our community and our nation is just as important. Creating dialog and having these difficult conversations are the only ways to move forward in a productive manner.

“I commit to our community that we will listen, we will act and we will continue to be the model law enforcement agency that our community deserves.”

MICHAEL KOCHIS Chief of Police, Warrenton Police Department

Shelly Norden was an inspirational journalism teacher

In 2006 it was my first year in high school at Liberty High.

I signed up to take Journalism 1. Mrs. [Shelly] Norden was so inspiring, she’s intelligent, overall really an amazing role model and you could just tell she truly loved her job unconditionally, along with all of her students.

She inspired my writing every single day. In 2008 I was zoned into the Kettle Run district since the school was just built. I was so happy Mrs. Norden had also transferred to Kettle Run. I took the class every single term, every single year until I graduated. My passion for writing grew tremendously, to the point I still do a lot of writing today.

Mrs. Norden was removed from Kettle Run and placed at Fauquier [High School], no longer teaching what she loves most. I think what people fail to see is how she hasn’t only been a teacher for so long, but she has an incredible background with journalism. She is the most fit for the job more than anyone else, and she had worked so extremely hard to get where she had with her career. She poured her love and passion for Journalism into her students.

I don’t think anyone could understand the relationship she had with each of her students unless you were one. I just really think she should be put back into the classroom where she belongs, back at Kettle Run inspiring her journalism students again and making them feel the way I did - powerful.

Former Fauquier High goalkeeper to play at West Virginia University

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Marc Bonnaire says he’s interested in a career in physics and astronomy.

But first he’s got other people’s goals to stop.

The recent Fauquier High graduate will play goalkeeper next season at West Virginia University, continuing his long and ardent quest to master a position that may have been passed down through genetics.

The 6-foot-3, 175-pounder has been a goalie since he was 7, and he picked up a lot of the nuances from his father, Fabrice, a goalkeeper in his younger days in Orleans, France.

“My parents said when I was little and there were no goalies (in youth soccer games), I would go back and protect the tiny goals. I had a natural instinct for it. When goalies were added to my age group, I hopped on

Prestigious league ends, what’s next?

Fauquier’s Marc Bonnaire and hundreds of other area boys soccer players who aspired to college or professional careers benefited from the U.S. Soccer’s Development Academy, which was terminated in April.

Formed in 2007, the league featured youth academies and youth clubs from various organizations, including Major League Soccer and the United Soccer League.

Play extended over 10 months and was an extensive commitment. The Academy had 149 total clubs, in five age groups.

Battlefield boys soccer coach Cedric Bullock thinks a new type of system may develop, and mentioned the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL), a girls league that allows players to play high school as well, unlike Academy.

“I hope whatever new system emerges allows kids to participate in high school sports, because although you get recruited by your club through showcases and tournaments, there is nothing like representing your school and playing in front of your classmates and parents and family friends under the lights,” said Bullock.

-PETER BREWINGTON

it right away,” said Bonnaire, 18.

“It’s such a special position.

You’re born one or you’re not,” said Fabrice Bonnaire, who was the goalie coach for the Fauquier County Soccer Club (FCSC).

Marc is a unique case of a stellar player who only played one year of varsity soccer for the Falcons, opting instead to play the last two years in the prestigious Virginia Development Academy (VDA) program run by the U.S. Soccer Federation.

He played VDA soccer as a junior, competing against all the best clubs and Major League Soccer academy teams in the East Coast, which helped him develop and get recruited, but kept his skills from being used by his high school team.

Bonnaire’s one FHS varsity season came as a sophomore, when he was an all-Northwestern District second team goalie. He played JV as a freshman, mostly as a midfielder. He was set to play VDA soccer as a senior, but the league was suddenly eliminated in April by the U.S. Soccer Federation over financial concerns.

A Warrenton resident since age 1, Bonnaire began soccer at age 4, initially with Warrenton Youth Soccer Club, then travel soccer with Fauquier County Soccer Club, and later with Virginia Soccer Academy and VDA. He has traveled to Germany, Spain, and Scotland in recent years with VDA and the Olympic Development Program (ODP).

Interestingly, basketball was the sport he played most at Fauquier, playing all his four years there.

A frequent starter, he made varsity as a junior and senior, earning kudos from coach Wayne Brizzi.

“Marc was a big part of our team last year,” said Brizzi.”He was a leader and very athletic for us. He had some days he had to miss because of soccer, but always made up any time when he came back.”

Bonnaire had a 24-point game against Harrisonburg and was often assigned to cover the other team’s top offensive weapon. “Great attitude, great work ethic, great young person,“ Brizzi said.

WVU contacted Bonnaire after he played in a tournament in Florida in December 2019. The process led to an official recruiting visit in early February.

The reason West Virginia University-bound Marc Bonnaire didn’t play soccer for Fauquier High since his sophomore year is because he opted to play in the prestigious Development Academy league, which was affiliated with the U.S. Soccer Federation.

THE BONNAIRE FILE

•Family: Dad Fabrice played soccer in his native France and works in computer management. Mom Nancy is a self-employed copywriter and editor. Brothers Christian, 22, recently graduated from Christopher Newport and is a former FHS soccer player and Noah, 17, an FHS rising senior, sister Julia, 12, is seventh grader at Taylor Middle School.

•Who speaks French? “Dad and my mom are both fluent. I’m decent,” says Bonnaire. He says his brother Noah roots for France in World Cups.

“I root for the U.S.” Over two days in Morgantown with his dad, Bonnaire was shown around, watched practice, went to dinner with new coach Dan Stratford, goalie coach Nick Noble and some players, slept in the players’ dorm, and was offered a spot on the second day.

Bonnaire said he was also heavily recruited by American University, and was involved with VCU, Lehigh and Mary Washington.

“I describe myself as a goalkeeper with great length. I’ve got a long body with long arms and a good reach.

Also, I think that the part of my game that stands out is I have great feet and passing ability,” he said about his dribbling and ball distribution.

Mom Nancy said Bonnaire always had incredible focus. “I remember putting him in a gymnastics class

for toddlers when he was 2 years old, and he was the only one who could sit and listen to instructions and then follow them,” she said.

She said Fabrice didn’t try to project his soccer dreams on Marc, or any of their four children. “All of our kids played soccer at some point and to varying degrees of dedication, but it was never imposed,” she said.

Marc said his father taught him so much, like a spatial awareness technique as a team attacks down the wing. “If the ball comes down the wing, put my hand on the near post so I know where I am,” Bonnaire said.

Fabrice said he’s happy to turn his son over to WVU goalie coach Noble, a former MLS goalie. “My job is done. He’s 18, I’ve done my work,” said Fabrice.

This is how we celebrate now COVID-19 makes drivethru parties a thing

What do you do when your 9-yearold son is having a birthday, but no one can come over to play? If you are Crystal St. John, you organize a drive-thru celebration, calling on local veterans groups, fire and rescue folks and lots of friends to drive by, honk and wave.

Austin St. John had a memorable birthday, despite COVID-19 social distancing restrictions.

Mattie May Wines turned 85 this month, and her daughters invited family and friends to drive by the Warrenton United Methodist Church on May 23 to wish her well. The party featured a bubble machine and a fly-over from Chris and Mike Shankle.

On Wednesday, May 27, members of the Fauquier Senior Center filed through the Warrenton Community Center parking lot. An array of Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board staff and volunteers – and a miniature horse - were there to greet them, part of a drive-thru parade meant to add a spark of joy to the lives of local seniors during the pandemic.

During the parade, which lasted about 30 minutes, staff and volunteers who were lined up in the parking lot greeted the vehicles’ occupants with smiles and signs and passed out meals and gifts.

RRCSB had received donations before the event to pay for the meals, which were prepared by Ellie’s Place in Warrenton. Water, bread, beach balls, toilet paper, personalized rocks and goodie bags with candy were among the items distributed.

The bread was donated by Great Harvest Bread Company in Warrenton; the beach balls were donated by Greystone, a financial services firm based in Warrenton.

Both Fauquier High School and Kettle Run High School students were honored with drive-thru celebrations. Lots of students wore cap and gown or college sweatshirts showing where they were headed in the fall (COVID-19 notwithstanding). Fauquier grads on May 29 drove from the WARF, up Waterloo Street and through Old Town, cheered by family and friends.

Kettle Run seniors took their victory lap through the Brookside and Vint Hill neighborhoods on May 16.

Horse farm offers luxury near Warrenton This gorgeous 71-acre horse farm is in the heart of Warrenton Hunt and only 15 minutes from Old Town.

This 14-stall barn is a luxury retreat for any animal lucky enough to call it home; it has amazing boarding or training potential. The tack room features a full bath and partial kitchen next to the feed room with full stair access to the hay loft, spanning the full length of the barn.

The extensive riding trails can take you by the creek, any of the three paddocks, the round pen or the open field that was once used for polo and jumping.

If you think you might want help maintaining this property, then the guest house offers a perfect place for your manager to stay. They will feel spoiled with cherry hardwoods, a two-car garage and a separate laundry unit.

As for where you'll be living, the four-bed, three-and-a-half-bath main house feels like home as soon as you walk in. The beauty is truly in the details here, with touches of chair rail trim, Dutch paint and recently refinished pine floors.

This home also features a deep soaking tub, a steam shower and a main-level master with a walkout to views that will make you wish your moments with your morning coffee would never end.

Robert Lee Brock Robert Lee Brock passed away to join many family and friends May 24th 2020 due to complications from Covid 19 in Prince William Hospital Manassas Va. Robert was born in Warren County, Va on April 28th 1938 to Dorothy Jenkins and John Brock. He is preceded by his parents and lifelong Stepdad Clarence Randall.

“Brock” owned Brock Construction and was licensed in every phase ( Class A Builder, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Refrigeration ) of the building industry all his life. Early in his career he received a Federal Top Secret clearance and worked on and supervised many government installations.

Brock spent a lot of years caring for dogs and horses and a handful of other animals as well. But he had a passion for racing of all kinds and never missed an opportunity to go. Especially sprint cars, dirt late models and motorcycles. He carried his family to many events through the years starting each of his kids at toddler ages. As a young family man he still competed in some quarter horse rodeo events. But later in years nothing could keep him from his grandchildren’s sporting events that made him so happy.

From a young man to his ending years he was always the one to call for many family, friends and even the community and some total strangers.

He lived a life of always helping and being there for so many. He had a big family especially Uncles and Aunts and never give up on visiting as many as he could no matter their locations till they left this earth knowing he was there for them. He laughed easily and often, and would tease as many people young and old as he could.

He absolutely lived his life his way and has left and created enough memories for generations past, present and future to spend talking about him to keep his memory alive. He will never be forgotten and will be missed by MANY. Robert leaves 3 children Tim Brock, Kevin Brock (Debbie), Kim Brock.

6 grandchildren Kolyn Brock (Nichole), Tyler Brock, Amber Schull, Lexi Schull, Sean Brock, Chloe Brock. 3 siblings Jean Hayes (Dickie), Randy Randall (Karen), Viann Ries. And his life long love Gerri Brock. We miss him.

It’s not the length of life but the depth of life – Ralph Waldo Emerson

SHARE YOUR LOVED ONE’S STORY 540-351-1664 | www.Fauquier.com

IN-DEPTH EXPLANATION If you’ve ever wondered why bodies have traditionally been buried six feet deep, you need only look to the Great Plague of London in 1665.

During this time, one-fifth of the city’s population succumbed to the bubonic plague, with the death rate reaching over 8,000 dying per week. Believing that shallow graves were contributing to the spread of the disease, the Lord Mayor of London ordered that bodies be interred “six feet under.” While the law was overturned in England and its colonies soon thereafter, it was reinstituted in the nineteenth century to deter criminals from stealing corpses for use as medical school cadavers.

Modern American burial laws now vary from state to state. It is the goal of MOSER FUNERAL HOME to help people complete the relationship with the one who has died and to provide a climate that encourages each person to give and receive emotional support.

During the funeral service, family and friends have the opportunity to relate to each other at the deepest levels and find mutual strength. To learn about our funeral services, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton.

We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

“Death is not extinguishing the light.

It is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”
