Three charged in domestic disputes By Hilary Lewis Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County sheriff's deputies responded to three separate reports of domestic violence over the weekend, all resulting in arrests. According to Sheriff Connie Smith, this “just happened to be a freak weekend" for these types of crimes in the area. “I haven’t seen a great increase in the number of domestics we get, and I wouldn’t say we get , any more than most areas,” she said, quieting cause for alarm. The first incident occurred on Friday, July 19 on South Poes Road in Amissville. She said Deputy Daniel Stevens responded to a call by a female claiming she had been choked after an argument with her husband. Deputy Stevens arrested Ivan Gene Meith on the scene and charged the 75 year-old with assault and battery on a family member. Also occurring on June 19, Sgt. Mark Currence responded to 12454 Let* Highway in Washington after a caller stated that her daughter put a knife through a door in the house the two share. According to Sheriff Smith, the daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Thompson, 23, was allegedly upset because her mother had a visitor in the house. Thompson was charged with assault on a family member and an emergency protective order was issued against her. On Saturday, June 20, Deputy Stevens responded to another report of a domestic disturbance t»t 14 Old Kennels Private Lane in Flint Hill. A female stated that a phone was ripped out of her hand during a verbid argument. Alexander William Kuncewicz, 43, of Front Royal was arrested and charged with assault on a family member in that incident. 6 Will II 11 23050 2 Rappahannock News P.O.

But both are now showing renewed interest in the only national park that is a day’s drive away for the 50 million people living and working in the East Coast megalopolis. On Monday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar met with volunteers and youth groups working in the park for the summer. clearing non-native plants that have invaded the park. The event was part of a national kickoff of United We Serve, a nationwide volunteer service program which President Barack Obama announced on June 17. Accompanying Salazar on the visit was Anne Holton, wife of Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (and daughter of former Virginia Governor A. Uinwcxid Holton, Jr. >. "When President Obama called us to this day of service,’' Salazar said. "he asked Americans ... to embrace the spirit of service . .. and help lay a new foundation for America, one community at a time.” Salazar and Holton toured the area near the Big Meadows ranger station after participating with volunteers in removing invasive plants around the Big Meadow's Sw'amp nature trail. Speaking to the Rappahannock News after brief remarks to the national press, Salazar said $30 million had been set aside for Shenandoah National Park as part of the Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. Asked how this initiative would benefit Rappahannock’s economy and economies of other communities surrounding the park, he said: "This $30 million going into the park will mean See PARK, Page A5 Pnoto by Stephen Dareing BOOKSIGNING: Marc Cugnon, left, looks on as his wife and coauthor Alaina Love signs a copy of their book. The Purpose Linked Organization: How Passionate Leaders Inspire Winning Teams and Great Results” at the Borders in Warrenton last Saturday. Patty Hardee of Flint Hill waits for her book to be signed ‘Passion’ drives local authors of business management book By Stephen Darking Special to the Rappahannock News Local authors Alaina Love and Marc Cugnon are on a mission. Having spent most of their successful careers in a large multinational corporation, they are now determined to do what they can to help change how companies and organizations operate. Their book - “The Purpose Linked Organization - How Passionate Leaders Inspire Winning Teams and Great Results”- starts with the passion they found and how management can learn to tap into that resource for each individual within a par titular organization. “Everyone wants to feel fulfilled' about the work they do,” said Love. Some may think this is overly optimistic, not even remotely in the realm of possibility with corporate culture so ingrained, and as co-author Cugnon said, that culture is also “toxic." Too toxic. It can kill the yearning and spirit to have purpose in each of us, they said in an interview at their booksigning at Borders in Warrenton this past weekend.

Some readers may recall JD selling his barbecue in the parking lot of the Sperryville Emporium mow The Link' and certainly at the High on the Hog restaurant in the west end of Sperrwille.

Kretz Special to the Rappahannock News Ted Chapman hopes you will read this article and decide you, too, can spend some time every week helping the groups he volunteers with in Rappahannock County. It is the reason he agreed to be our volunteer spotlight this month. Chapman volunteers with three programs in the county. For his many volunteer contributions over the years, Chapman was recognized June 5 with the RSVP Lifetime Achievement Award. Two days a week, he spends his mornings picking up the hot meal for the Rappahannock Senior Nutrition Site at the main kitchen in Culpeper and delivering it to the Scrabble School site. Without dedicated, regular drivers like Chapman, the meal could not get to the Senior Center. This is Chapman’s fourth year of delivering the meals.

Out of this simple need, “Rappahannock MedRides” was bom. Chapman drives for this program as well. On average it may be just one ride a week, but to the person stuck, it is all the difference in the world. The simplicity appeals to Chapman. The company is “always pleasant.” One of the newest volunteer efforts in the county started just about a year ago. As part of the Community Services Board, there now is a Protective Money Management Program to help people manage their bank accounts and write their bills each month. Chapman is a “payee” for a recently widowed county resident. Through the Money Management Program, Chapman deposits her retirement check in her account and writes her checks to pay her bills. This takes two to three hours per month, not a big time commitment, but with no family to help her Bedortha deployed Pfc.

He is the great-grandson of Gene Smith of Elgin, Ore. out, this program helps her stay on top of things like her rent, phone bill and heat. At 75, Chapman talks about all the people in Rappahannock who need just a little help to get by; simple tasks like keeping a doctor’s appointment or paying bills on time. If you have time to provide a ride, become a payee, or deliver meals. Chapman will tell you how very satisfying his volunteer time is. Interested irr taking him up on his suggestion?

Derby Day: A time to remember By Anita L. Sherman Rappahannock News Staff Writer This year’s Seventh Annual Soap Box Derby in Culpeper may have gotten off to a wet start, but after the storms cleared, the races resumed under a sunny, rain-washed sky and Rappahannock racers are already looking forward to next year’s derby. Cory Norman, 14, from Woodville driving for the Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Department said, “I really enjoyed it and Fm planning on doing it next year too.” Brooklyn Phillips, 9, from Chester Gap has more ambitious plans. She really liked the race but said she “wished they would let her drive down Chester Gap...it’s faster.” Long time committee member, Thom Pellikaan, of Woodville, noted that experienced racers will use eveiy angle to gain a bit of speed. “You can see them dodging puddles or steering slightly to the right or left,” said Pellikaan who was serving up slices of cold watermelon and cheering on the field of otfer a dozen drivers that came from Rappahannock. Pellikaan remembers the days when they were only able to find a few dozen willing kids to build and race the kit cars. But now, since it started in 2003, their numbers have grown to the over 150 competitors this year. The Soap Box Derby of Culpeper is reminiscent of Americana at its best. Hay bales lined the 650-foot course, flags were flying, tents were up sheltering dozens of enthusiastic family members and fans, the Culpeper Town police maintained order at the bottom of the run while the sky blue and white uniformed football team from Eastern View, under the tutelage of coach Jeremy Stanley, worked in two-hour shifts shuffling cars onto a trailer or helping drivers dislodge from their cars. “3-2-1” — and they’re off” boomed the voice of Tony Triolo, president of sponsoring Rosson & Triolo Motor Company and the area soap box derby foundation. Triolo, who is clearly master of the microphone, is not only a pro at announcing but usually had a few words to say about each driver. They were either a rookie or a five-year veteran. Perhaps they had a sibling also in the running or, like Sean Brown, were racing in memory of a sister. Rosson & Triolo have been sponsoring clinics since February to "help prepare the drivers. In all, Culpeper County had a clean sweep —- taking the number one spot in the three divisions. Stock Division Race winners Tyler Miller, F.T.

For a stimulus, with every purchase of $20 or more, customers will have a chance to win a 16-pound smoked turkey which, according to JD, is delicious when served chilled and sliced during the summer months. Eventually they hope to offer “Wine and Swine” during weekends - Rappahannock wines paired with barbecue. The second service, on-site catering and bulk take-out orders, will be run by son James Hartman (who will soon be returning from work in Maho Bay, U.S. Virgin Islands) and assisted by his sister Katie, a junior at Rappahannock County High School. They will come to a party and serve from their traditional menUrOi; far, bulk take-out, they can provide the food and all serving utensils. The third service will be commercial distribution of smoked rainbow trout to local businesses such as wineries, restaurants and B&Bs, with eventual expansion to East Coast distribution. JD has just completed a state mandated workshop at Virginia Tech that focused on proper handling of smoked seafood from procurement through smoking to the delivery to the customer on a wholesale level. This end of the business will be run bv Tyler Hartman when he returns from serving in the U. S.

It will be a day of picnics and fireworks, watermelon, lemonade, and family fun. There is a phrase that’s bandied about that goes, “Freedom is not free.” Lives of millions of servicemen over the course of our history have been given in defense of liberty. But it goes much deeper than that. The founders of this country crafted a government that would work only with the intelligent participation of those assenting to be governed by it. Being free from tyranny means stepping up to fulfill responsible civic duties, first and foremost of these is to vote. There is also a social responsibility we have to each other. We do not live in isolation, there are no more frontiers to which we can run to avoid the often difficult realities that manifest in a modem, complex society. We must work out differences together, and to do this requires consensus - an often tedious, difficult and time consuming process. There are no easy answers, but one thing we are certain of is that no single person, group or ideology is completely right all the time. To assume so, that one is right and others are not, is to disrespect the very nature of our democracy, and it is the root of tyranny. Dictatorships are bom when apathy and self-righteousness stride into destructive anarchy side by side. There are no easy solutions, there is no panacea that will satisfy every demand, there is not a single belief, that if written into law or imposed through fiat, will somehow solve all our problems. What it takes is community, cooperation, understanding, tolerance and patience. Give these a chance and maybe this great nation can endure for another 233 years. Here in Rappahannock, we are fortunate to have a place to come together July 4 as a community to celebrate: The Thornton Hill Race Course just off 522 outside of Sperryville. Gates will open at 1 p.m., and there will be lots to enjoy, including a spectacular fireworks show. And it benefits the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department. So, on July 4, we hope everyone will take a little time to reaffirm their commitment to representative democracy, to soften our positions and consider that our neighbors are not our enemies. There are plenty of those in the world today already.

Letters ‘A magical evening’ at Gourmet Rappahannock Summer Solstice Dinner Last Saturday evening Gourmet Rappahannock Food & Wine Consortium, in partnership with the Rappahannock Non-Profit Center and the Rappahannock Office of Tourism, hosted a Summer Solstice Dinner atop a knoll overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains on historic Mount Vernon Farm in Sperryville. Over 150 people (152, to be exact) enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by award-winning Chef Cathal Armstrong of Alexandria’s Restaurant Eve. The majority of those buying tickets and attending the event were from outside Rappahannock County, many visiting Rappahannock for the first time. The intent of the event was to spread the word of Rappahannock’s rich agricultural bounty to people throughout the Northern Virginia/Greater Washington area and to support our farmers by donating proceeds of the evening to the Rappahannock Farmland Preservation Program. Many of those who attended said that the evening was magical. Indeed, it was. What was even more magical was the support of so many people who came together to make this wonderful evening possible: Our gracious hosts, Lucile and Cliff Miller, owners of Mount Vernon Farm; Chef Armstrong, Todd Thrasher and Celine Robbins and the staff of Restaurant Eve; the Rappahannock farmers, vintners and distiller whose products were enjoyed throughout the evening; Mary Arthur, Terri Lehman and the “Girls from the Ecow;” Trista Scheuerlein and the servers who worked with them to provide impeccable and attentive service; members of the Sperryville Fire & Rescue Department who helped the guests with their cars and provided an on-site ambulance for the evening; drivers of the Rapidan-Rappahannock Community Services Board who transported guests to the dinner site; Flavor magazine, the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Piedmont Virginian and the Rappahannock News, who helped us spread the word of the event and the many other volunteers who pitched in. In addition, there were the local businesses who donated goods or services to help make the evening an event to savor, including Beech Spring Gift Shop, Central Coffee Roasters, D&K Design, Foster Harris House, Griffin Tavern, Ray Boc, Shades of Blue Garden Design and Stonyman Gourmet Farmer. Thank you also to Cheri and Martin Woodward, Black Rock Farm, Fields of Athenrye, RNB and CFC for their financial contributions. Those of us on the planning committee sincerely thank everyone who helped to make our vision a reality. We look forward to the eve of Summer Solstice in 2010.

Madeline Kronfeld American Cancer Society Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO July 3, 1969 Sandra Kaye Foster, 19, a sophomore at Longwood College, is participating in the work-study program sponsored by that college and the V.P.I. Extension Cooperative Extension Service. She will be working with youth in Rappahannock County and with low income groups here, under the supervision of Miss Judy Burtner, Extension Agent Home Economics in the county. Sandra is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Foster of Flint Hill. Officers were installed at the regular meeting last Wednesday of the Rappahannock Lions Club with Lester Deal as president. Present for the installation ceremony was zone chairman Larry Kauffman and Jack Dahlgren, deputy district governor. Wayne Sophia was named secretary-treasurer of the club. Other officers elected were Edward Clark, vice president; O. C. Mitchell, Lion Tamer. Mr. and Mrs. Larry (Kenny) Williams of Chester Gap announce the birth of a daughter, Melissa Dawn Williams, bom in Warren Memorial Hospital, June 25, 1969. The grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fletcher of Sperryville and the paternal grandmother is Mrs. William T. Grasty of Middleburg. 25 YEARS AGO June 21,1984 Items for review at the Town Council meeting of June 13 were overshadowed by council’s eagerness to honor one it its own, Dorothy Hawkins. Mrs. Hawkins, who has served on the Town Council since 1950, will relinquish her long-held position when a new council takes over July 1. Hawkins, who served on the council for 34 years, was given a gift platter. Mrs. Lillian Crews of Washington, who owns Ice House Fabrics on Main Street in Washington, has lived in Rappahannock County since 1977. Her fabric store opened May 9 in a new location next to the Rappahannock News office. The store is full of “fabrics-n-things" such as patterns, needles, threads and other notions for the homesewer. Edwin Eastham III and Dean Hahn, both of Huntly, won the best ball twosome team golf tournament at Front Royal Country Club on June 16 and 17. According to Neville Major, member of the Front Royal Country Club, Eastham and Hahn won the tournament by one stroke, with a 36-hole tally of 141. Thirty-eight teams participated. The twosome was awarded a first place trophy on Sunday following the second round. 10 YEARS AGO June 23,1999 The county Planning Commission meeting for June was dominated by the proposed new Amissville Post Office and the proposed Harris Country Inn. Ms. Elizabeth Harris withdrew her initial plans to construct a campsite resort on 36 acres behind Mountainside Market near Sperryville. She is now proposing a country inn with four one bedroom cabins, two two bedroom cabins, a lodge, a pool and store for patrons only. Attorney Frank Reynolds, speaking on behalf of Harris, said that they do not plan to appeal the status of the original permit for the property. He added that he thirds this is something the county needs. A little out of the way, but well worth the find, Blue Knoll Farm Bed & Breakfast is still standing in Castleton. Mary and Gil Carlson bought and opened the B & B in 1992, and since then the competition has doubled. Mrs. Carlson has noticed dwindling numbers, but she has not suffered as much as other B & Bs. Her secret: unparalleled service, accommodations, and atmosphere. Once visitors have found Blue Knoll, they always go back. Cadet Jeffrey ML Holder of Woodville, was among 225 cadets who received degrees May 15 at Virginia Military Institute’s commencement exercises.

He is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School and is the son of Mrs. Susan Butler and Mr. Joseph Holder. Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

Class of 2014 ‘is exceptional and it will do great things’ On June 11 the Class of 2014 graduated from Rappahannock County Elementary School. For the past eight years many of these students have spent their learning years together in the halls of the school as well as becoming the best of friends outside of the school setting. As this county does not have a Middle School for the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, our students’ rite of passage comes at the end of the seventh grade. Part of this passage includes a three-day trip to Williamsburg. This trip was started in 1973 and has continued for 37 years. The students went to Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg and to Charlottesville. The students will be embarking on a journey for the next five years to figure out what they want to do for the rest of their lives. More than 75 percent of them are all A or A/B Honor Roll students and 20 of them successfully completed algebra this year. The class has many athletes who participate in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, soccer, softball, track and volley ball. They have amassed more first place trophies in sports than any other class. They have band participants, which are also trophy winners and have itiedaled in several band competitions. The majority of the class received the National Physical Fitness Award and almost all of them have received this award every year since the third grade. The class has been touted as the “Best Behaved Class” that has come through RCES. Graduation day was ended at the Old School House in Little Washington, with a Luau Party given by several of the parents. The class was treated with music by “DJ Williams,” frozen slushies, food catered by The Country Cafe, drinks donated by Pepsi, door prizes donated by many local businesses such as: Shear Designs, American Image Salon, De’Danann Glassworks, The Comer Store, Mayhugh’s Store, Miriam White, Sperryville Emporium, Griffin Tavern, The Cafe, and many restaurants in Warrenton. No one left emptyhanded. The class is exceptional and it will do great things in its years at RCHS, if it receives the same kind of,encouragement as it has always received at RCES. The students will miss the teachers and administration at the elementary school as they have grown with them and feel they are like family. We wish them luck and happiness on their journey. A special thanks to the committee members who put the party together: Janet Jenkins, Michelle Jenkins, Lisa Dodson, Ronnie Dodson, Amy Burnett, Kelly Estes, and Kathy Thornhill. I appreciate all of your help for this special day. Amy Hitt Amissville Tavern From Page A1 staff three months ago. He came to the tavern from Marriott Ranch, were he worked as kitchen supervisor. Before that, he completed a three year apprenticeship program with American Culinary Federation in Washington, D.C., but he’s been interested in cooking pretty much his entire life. “I had a passion for cooking and I always did it when I From Page A1 new roads, rock walls and restoration and improvement” of park facilities. “This will create immediate jobs beginning this summer and fall,” he said, adding that tourism is “extremely important” to the economy, especially for counties like Rappahannock, and that initiatives and volunteerism to restore national parks can only benefit local, struggling communities. “It’s- important that the story of Shenandoah be told,” was a kid. My parents were divorced, so I’d always cook breakfast for my mom every Sunday morning, starting when I was around five,” McLawhom said. Nine years ago, he paired with friend and now Griffin .Tavern’s sous chef, Jason Campbell at the Orlean Market. The two made a name for themselves there and developed quite a following. McLawhom says Campbell is the reason he got into cooking. “I got into the cooking business because Jason he said, and that of other parks across the nation that have been neglected in the recent past. While Salazar was touring the new visitors center at Big Meadows, rangers Matt Richardson and Joe Sargeant were keen to point out that they’ve seen a remarkable increase this year in the number of “through hikers” — those who walk the entire Appalachian Trail (which passes through the park) from Georgia to Maine - a sign that life, the human kind, is returning to the park. Volunteer groups working in the park this summer — and who got a chance to meet Sheriff’s Briefs Front Royal man arrested for DUI, possession A Front Royal man allegedly caught speeding on Route 211 received more than he bargained for after a traffic stop on Saturday, June 20. According to Sheriff Connie Smith, at 6:58 p.m., Sgt. Chuck Moore stopped Randy Keith Middleton, 41, of Front Royal, for speeding 68 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone. Sgt. Moore also stated that Middleton was suspiciously crossing lanes. Upon stopping the vehicle, Sgt. Moore smelled the odor of alcohol on the driver. He also found Middleton in possession of marijuana. Middleton was then arrested and charged with driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, and speeding. Driver lands in creek Tbnya Nicole Dyer, 18, of 177 Church Hill Road in Etlan, Va., was charged with failure to maintain control of a vehicle after an accident on Saturday, June 20. According to Sheriff Connie Smith, Dyer was traveling on Slate Mills Road when she lost control of the vehicle, struck a tree, and landed in a creek. There were no injuries reported in the accident. Motorcycle pursuit leads to accident Three motorcyclists never made it over the mountain from Page County into Rappahannock over the weekend, followring a pursuit by State Trooper T.A. Fox and an accident involving one of the motorcyclists. According to Virginia State Police Sgt. Les Tyler, on Sunday, June 21 at approximately 3 p.m.. Trooper Fox observed a motorcycle traveling at a high speed in Luray, but was unable to apprehend the driver at the time. Later in the afternoon, Trooper Fox saw the same motorcycle along with two others traveling eastbound on Route 211 toward the Rappahannock County line and began pursuit. At the first curve at the base of the mountain near Brookside Restaurant, Christopher Thomas Timberlake, 25, lost control of the bike . and struck a guardrail. He was ejected from the motorcycle, which landed in the roadway. PM ^ V - - ■ , . ■ r School Physicals - $251 Sport Physicals - $251 ■ ■.■■I mill .i.li m ji .

VA 940-347-4200 WWW.PEOMOKTlM.COM looked at me one day and said, Why aren’t you cooking? You talk about food like you love it,m McLawhom said. “Finally I said ‘OK’ and I quit my landscaping job and started at $10 an hour working under Jason.” After hving in the Outer Banks, N.C., building boats for four years, Campbell returned to Rappahannock this month after hearing his good friend needed a #2 in the tavern kitchen. “The two of us being together is a great thing. We know each other so well. and speak with the interior secretary — include members of the Shenandoah National Park Association, Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, Student Conservation Corps and Volunteers-in-Parks. Salazar noted that “in some ways the students here today are following in the footsteps of the 10,000 young people who worked in Shenandoah during the 1930s as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps.” Herp’s hoping that what created Shenandoah National Park — an economic recovery initiative — will also help restore it. In an attempt to avoid hitting Timberlake, Trooper Fox struck the motorcycle and was transported to Page Memorial Hospital. Meanwhile, Timberlake fled on foot and was apprehended by Trooper D A. Mauck. Timberlake was transported to the University of Virginia for his injuries. Sheriff Connie Smith said that deputies in Rappahannock were stationed along Route 211 to apprehend the other two bikers, but were unsuccessful. According to Sgt. Tyler the incident is currently being investigated by Sgt. Gene Baiun and charges are pending. We’re best friends and I’m really proud of him,” Campbell said. “It was an Honor for him to ask me to come back up here.” Back in the kitchen together again, the duo have developed a number of simple, yet flavorful dishes, using local and fresh ingredients. Some of the tavern’s signature dishes on the new menu are a baked brie with hot pepper raspberry jelly, com and crab chow'der, and fried oysters. “My style is simple food done right. That’s what I try to do. I try not to get too crazy,” McLawhom said. When asked how it felt to be taking the restaurant in a new direction, McLawhom said he was a bit nervous. “But I continuously remind myself .of where I’ve come from, where I want to go, and what I want to learn,” said McLawhom. “I want people to feel like this is their second home, where people know each other’s names and they can trust that they’re always going to have a good meal,” he said. natural elements plant care IVniilmt! an rift in>imvntali> trieiullv wa\ ro prorcct V'-Hir ! jin Is a|x* •Insect and Disease Management with Organic Options •Pruning of Ornamental Trees & Shrubs •Fertilization of Trees and Shrubs •Invasive Plant Control Addtoora!

I feel very bad for both families. I feel the editor should have followed the old adage, "If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” The ClafTys had something wonderful happen. I’m sure we all wish it would happen to us. You should have at least said something nice instead you chose to stir up horrible memories for both families. I met the Claffvs a* few years ago. My mom and Joe Claffy were both in physical rehab in Winchester. Joe and Sue Claffy both were extremely friendly and caring. Joe and Sue would sit and talk with my mom and watch out for her when we couldn’t be there. I am very grateful to them for that. I am also proud to call them friends. I think this world would be a better place if we could all forgive and be happy for our neighbors when they are blessed with good fortune. Ginger Miller Washington Fathers Day Treat Dad with Style...

Book From Page A1 Cugnon s wife and co-author Love said “companies are missing a competitive advantage if they don’t capitalize on the passions of the people working for them.” The old way of doing business she said, “is not a mindset that s serving them well anymore.” Their book is a primer for leaders and managers to begin to tap into that resource. They should know. Both have had very successful corporate careers. The fruits of that are evident in the beautiful timber frame house in which they live, literally hidden away in a forest a little ways out from Flint Hill. But material success just wasn’t fulfilling, and a passion for purpose, they said, is at the core of all our lives. Taking a cue from philosopher Joseph Campbell, Love and Cugnon identified 10 archetypes and the motivations that drive them. However, they took these a few steps further, carefully recording characteristics, and with the help of the University of Michigan, developed a method of profiling individuals to reveal these archetypes or what they call “passion profiles.” These passion profiles, in turn, help to identify purpose and it is purpose which drives people to excel. Why wouldn’t leaders and managers want to tap into this? This reporter - having taken the profile questionnaire available to anyone who purchases the book — can speak to the power and accuracy of their effort. WTiat really makes this book unique is that it is as much spiritual as it is material. It’s definitely aimed at business, but Love and Cugnon seem to transcend the ordinary realm of how business is conducted today. But they also have a credibility with business leaders that many authors who write about similar themes lack. Love, from New Jersey, and Cugnon, from Belgium, both had long careers with pharmaceutical giant Merck which is where they met. Love is a columnist for Business Week magazine. Even the skeptical can be challenged and influenced by what Love and Cugnon have to say as they consult to some of the biggest and well known companies in the world. Although they can t reveal their clients for confidentiality reasons, there are well known corporate leaders mentioned in the book including Rappahannock's own Chris Johns, Editor in Chief of National Geographic Magazine. Despite being successful within Merck's corporate structure, Cugnon and Love felt they were missing their purpose in life. They both left, moved to a beautiful comer in Rappahannock in 2000, and started Purpose Linked Consulting. They began writing the book three years ago. Cugnon has two children bv a previous marriage, and Love and Cugnon have a son. Marc, who is 13 and attends Wakefield Country Day School. Both have been active in community and county charities.

Over 150 people attended the event Local artwork on display at upcoming Castleton Festival By Hilary Lewis Rappahannock News Staff Writer To compliment the vibrant sounds produced by visiting musicians at the upcoming Castleton Festival, organizers have decided to infuse some regional flair into the event. Highlighting the tradition of art in Rappahannock County, the work of several local artists will be on display on the grounds of the Castleton Farm estate. “There is a real parallel between music and art,” said Dietlinde Maazel, co-host of the festival. “I believe we should pull all the wonderful forces together that are happening in this amazing county. There is a lot of talent here.” Coordinated by Andew Haley, owner of the Long View Gallery in Sperryville, the focus of the exhibit is to showcase regional art. Nine Rappahannock artists will be on display throughout the festival which runs from July 3-19. “The Maazels are pulling the top young talent from around the world, and they asked me to present the best regional work in conjunction with the festival,” said Haley.

Dinner From Page Bl the county’s farms, wineries and natural beauty. Beneath a large pole tent on a knoll overlooking the village of Sperryville from Cliff Miller’s sheep and cattle farm, Chef Cathal Armstrong of Restaurant Eve in Alexandria - only recently recognized as the best fine dining in Washington by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington - and his crew deftly orchestrated a four-course meal for the out of town visitors and Rappahannockers. Patrons of Restaurant Eve like Armstrong so much that some followed him out to the country. “I love this chef” said Pat Braun of Alexandria. She had learned about the farm dinner from Restaurant Eve’s Web site. Guests gathered at the Miller’s manor house beneath the shade trees, sipping wine and blueberry-lemonade spiked with moonshine (the legal kind) concocted by Tbdd Thrasher, the “liquid savant” of Restaurant Eve and its general manager. The Gourdvine String Band played Irish folk and bluegrass music. As people took their places beneath the tent, Armstrong and staff - struggling at first to keep the lettuce from blowing away in the breeze — served up a salad of shaved beet, baby lettuce, and smoked trout with horseradish sauce. In between courses, the Rappahannock News talked with Armstrong about his background and very passionate commitment to local, fresh food. Armstrong came to America 19 years ago from Dublin, Ireland looking, as he says, to earn some “fast cash” and experience in the restaurant business here before returning home. Instead he stayed, started a family, a restaurant, and now is one of the most recognized chefs in Washington. “It doesn’t get any more American than that," he said. Speaking of fresh food, and why it's so important, he said, “It's the best...you can’t tell me that peas picked off the vine aren’t better,” than the week’s old variety shipped cross country or from overseas. “I’ve never eaten any- ’ thing better than a potato dug out of the ground, boiled, with butter and §alt,” he said as emphasis. Fresh new potatoes and peas complimented the main course of braised lamb, topped with medallion of lamb tenderloin from sheep . that had been raised on Miller's farm. Pared with the meal were local wines from Gadino Cellars. Gray Ghost and Rappahannock Cellars. An aperitif of local cheese with honey almond sauce and a delicious bread pudding rounded out the meal. The community effort led by Laura Overstreet (the county’s tourism consultant), Barbara Adolfi and Sylvie Rowand, included local volunteers. The majority of those attending the event were from outside Rappahannock County, according to Overstreet, many visiting Rappahannock for the first time. “We did achieve our goals for the event to support farmland preservation, sustainable agriculture and to educate the public about Rappahannock as a source for top quality meats, fruit and vegetables and as a scenic getaway, ” said organizer Adolfi. “We know that guests stayed at local B&Bs and cot Bessie Compton Bowen Yancey, 101, of Culpeper, Va„ died June 17. 2009, at Autumn Care of Madison in Madison, Va.

Inspiring, Tlwuqfihs by Randy Minter WHEN DEATH CONFERS NEW STATUS Each year, losing a parent spurs millions of adult American children to reassess their position in the world. Such loss has been the source of much thought and scrutiny by Baby Boomers in particular, who will have had their parents longer than any previous generation. Many note that the loss of a parent can be the defining moment in the surviving child’s life. It has been noted that, for hundreds of famous writers, artists. philosophers, and politicians, the death of a parent w as an adaptation that tapped their creative energies. Some seemed to be spurred to greatness. The experience can stimulate individuals to pursue new heights of performance. Such is the instrument of death and the perspective it endangers. Whether is is a parent, spouse, sibling or other loved one who has passed, the impact is profound for those who cared about the individual. Should you experience a loss, we are here for you, 24 hours a dav at (540) 347-3431.

Part of the Southern Poverty exhibit, the display shows “the other side of the coin," according to Maazel. “We should not forget in what condition people live,” she added. Both exhibits will open with the festival on July 3. For more information, call 866-974-0767 or visit www.castletonfestival.org.
