Rappahannock News Staff Photo New steeple is on St. Peter's Catholic Church building. Church nears completion By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer After several months of delay, St. Peter’s Catholic Mission’s first permanent building is well underway. “We are about 65 percent finished,” said Fr. Albert Verbeke this week. Groundbreaking for the church was held in late May, though construction was delayed because the bids received for construction were double the projected costs, said Fr. Verbeke. “We had to change quite a few plans,” said the priest, adding “$100,000 was chiseled away.” Property for the church was donated by a Rappahannock County family. Five of the 25 acres will be used for the $300,000 building with 20 acres returned to agriculture. r . ... The building contract was awarded to Kenbridge Construction of Gainesville, with contraction beginning in August. The firm is contracted to complete the church by the end of March, though Fr. Verbeke said he anticipates a First of Feburary completion. Church pews are due to arrive Feb. 3, and due to contract and insurance liabilities, they must be installed upon arrival. “We are moving at a good speed. We even have the steeple on,” he said.

A-8 ” A./ Wi Ider's newest plan puts county in 10th District By JEFF NELSON and MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writers Changes proposed by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder Dec. 2 to the General Assembly congressional redistricting plan would move the 10th district farther down into the Shenandoah Valley and puts all of Rappahannock into the 10th. The changes, however, would have almost no affect on Northern Virginia, leaving the redrawn 8th and 11th districts intact. The Assembly is likely to sign off on the proposal, according to Sen. Charles Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax). “I don’t have a problem with (the changes) and I think they’ll be adopted by the Assembly,” Sen. Waddell said. The assembly will vote on the changes Dec. 9. The 10th district would still include all of Fauquier, Loudoun, Clarke, Warren, and Frederick counties and parts of Fairfax and Prince William, but would also pick up all of Rappahannock County, Frederick County, Shenandoah County, Page County and Rocking ham County. “While the General Assembl; conscientiously attempted to create a plan that complied with the (fed eral) Voting Rights Act, the plan, ai passed, offered several areas tha called for revision,” Gov. Wildei said. The federal Voting Rights Ac requires that the state create a mi nority controlled congressional dis trict wherever possibly. One sucl district was created that runs fron the Tidewater region to Richmond. Gov. Wilder boosted the blacl majority in that district by approxi mately 5 percent, a move that th< National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People had re quested. The changes were also made bj Gov. Wilder in an effort to keej Richmond from being divided int< three congressional districts as tht Assembly plan would do, according to a release from Wilder’s office. See DISTRICT, p. A-l Rezoning approved for new post office By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Following a public hearing this week the Board of Supervisors voted to rezone 2.24 acres owned by Frances Semones from Mobile Home Park to Village Commercial to house the Amissville Post Office. The rezoning was made contingent on the U.S. Postal Service choosing that site for the new post office. Amissville resident Louis G. “Butch” Zindel said he did not object to the post office, but he urged the supervisors not to grant the rezoning because he said it would lead to “a strip of commercial zoning from Hackley’s Store to the Lombardy Restaurant.” He said there were houses between Hackley’s and Mrs. Semmones property and a mobile home park on the other side.. “How could you turn down the trailor park or the houses when they want rezoning?” he asked. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan calls for “economic growth compatible with the county’s rural character” and discourages strip commercial zoning. He said a commercial strip along the highway would “discourage tourism.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said, “I have reviewed this and I am well aware of the Comprehensive Plan. The possibility of losing the post office in Officials eye assessment controversy By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer The reassessment continued to play a large role in discussions at Monday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. E.P. “Pete” Luke, chairman of the Board of Assessors, reported that the board had heard 486 “beefs,” up from 216 following the last reassessment. Col. Luke said that most people complained that the assessment was too high. “We heard many offers to sell,” he said. “The problem is that the one thing we have that raises money is our land, and so few people know what’s going on. A lot of people don’t understand about the tax rate,” he added. He said that in appraising houses the assessors used figures based on a price per square foot supplied by the See ASSESS, p.A-8 Jon Heddleston ministers to inmates at the Rappahannock Jail. Jail ministry gives inmates message of hope By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer It’s not like any room of worship the average “ churchgoer has seen. '1 There is no white or brocade. I There is no altar or stained glass. Instead, there are bars on the windows with old newspapers held over the glass and screen to block too much sun. The walls are white and bare except for a sink and mop propped against one and a long bookcase covering another. Instead of pews in straight rows, plastic chairs in various colors have been arranged in a loosely formed circle amid long folding tables, pushed to the side as much as the small square room allows. Instead of an organ, there is a television, staring silently and black into the white room. But, there is singing and spirit and fellowship. And peace. SMJAIL,p.A4

Winter sports teams prepare for season By MARK SCOLFORO “»PI*h«nnock New* SUIT Writer The Rappahannock High boys varsity basketball team opens its regular season Friday, Dec. 6 at non-conference opponent Luray, hoping that a balanced Bull Run District and a strong performance against Wilson Memorial bode well for the coming season. Four of the team’s five starters scored in double figures during the controlled scrimmage against Wilson last Wednesday, with forward Michael Williams scoring 34 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. The Panthers, who Coach Gary Leake says will emphasize the running game this year, shot an astronomical 60 percent from the floor and a more-than-respectable 70 percent from the free-throw stripe against Wilson. The Panthers also made four of the five three-point shots they attempted. • Several special rules were used during the scrimmage. The teams played six quarters and erased the score after each quarter, and only shot free throws every other quarter. With all six quarters tallied together, the Panthers lost by about five points, said Coach Leake. He said the running game, the half-court trap defense and the shooting percentages were the scrimmage’s high points; poor ball protection and too many turnovers were the major problems. Coach Leake said ball distribution was balanced, and the Panthers were faster and better-conditioned than Wilson Memorial. “I like to have several different weapons,” said the coach. ‘This year you can’t say you have to stop one man to beat Rappahannock. You have to stop about eight.” Although the team is balanced, Coach Leake has settled on a starting lineup and a three-guard configuration. The point guard is exchange student Damian Muriel, the shooting guards are Jason Fox and Kevin Jolliffe and the forwards are James Roy and Williams. Roy and Fox are captains. The season opener begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6 with the JV game. The varsity contest follows, at about 7:15 p.m. Luray, which plays in the Skyline District, returns four starters from last year’s .500 team. Coach Leake says simply, “It will be a major test.” Also, a change has been made in the schedule. The Jan. 21 game at Brentsville has been changed to Jan. 30. Alumni tourney held over weekend The Third Annual Rappahannock High Alumni Basketball Tournament raised more than $1,000 to support the school’s Athletic Department over the Thanksgiving weekend. Team 4, featuring mostly recent graduates, won the championship game Saturday night against Team 1, the oldest (on average) team, 10097. Tommy Jenkins, Class of 1986, was named tournament MVP and received a three-foot trophy.

The six-year funding represents more than a $1 billion increase for the Commonwealth over the 1987 five-year appropriation. The new bill also gives the state greater leeway in allocating the funds to various projects. “Virginia’s urban regions will have greater authority in decision making and project selection to address their critical congestion problems. Localities will have discretion to direct highway dollars to specific highway needs or mass transit projects such as commuter rail or expanded bus service,” said Sen. John Warner, R-Va., who sat on the con ference committee that finally approved the bill. The bulk of the money is for improvements to the interstate highway system but, for the first time, some of the money is earmarked for mass transit. A $6 million appropriation is included in the bill for engineering studies for an extension of the Metro line from West Falls Church to Dulles Airport. Virginia Secretary of Transportation John Milliken said in an interview that the federal money for the Metro will not prompt immediate state support for the line. “There won’t be any state money for the Metro line to come out this year. We’re looking at different transit options and this simply gets our foot in the federal door. We don’t have a timeline (for the extension of the Metro) yet. Alot of that depends on the development in that corridor and when the toll road extension gets completed,” Mr. Milliken said. Mr. Milliken said that the bulk of the money Virginia gets will be used to improve major highways and secondary roads such as Interstates 96 and 66, the beltway, and Routes 60 and 7. Despite the additional money from the feds, Milliken said local governments can expect a bleak year for local road funding. “Those funds are allocated through a strict formula using gasoline tax, and new car sales taxes. New car sales are way down this year, i think, because of the downturn, the recession, most localities will see less money than they’ve been getting in the past,” he said. Mr. Milliken said that no decision has been made on a tentative plan to force local government to begin paying about 20 percent of the cost of maintaining, building an improving local secondary roads. Mr. Milliken toured the state getting mostly negative comments on the plan from cash-strapped communities. Mr. Milliken said that any recommendation would not be expected until late in December or in early January when the state General Assembly will begin its session. Town offers county use of recycling center The Town of Washington begins its expanded recycling program at the new site next month, and all county residents are invited to drop off their reusable materials. The town’s first-ever permanent recycling center will be located at the Washington Volunteer Fire Company headquarters on Warren Avenue. The site will be open to all county residents from 8 a. m.-noon Saturday, Jan. 4 and on every first Saturday of succeeding months. According to Ray Gooch, a Town Council member and director of the town’s recycling program, the community response to the expanded program will determine what direction it takes. If there is enough interest, he said, the site may be open on other dates as well. In addition to the first-Saturday drop-off, the town will continue its monthly recycling pick-up on the third Saturday of each month, at least for the time being. Newspapers will not be accepted at the site during the first-Saturday drop off days. U.S. SAVINGS BONDS U THE GREAT AMERICAN INVESTMENT Eugene J.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1991 Editorial - - Renovate or demolish? This month a furor arose over the virtual demolition of the former home of the late Byrd Jones in Washington. The building’s new owners, Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch of The Inn at Little Washington, gutted the house—even ripping out the walls—in the process of what they termed “renovations.” The Washington Architectural Review Board, on which Mr. O’Connell sits, had approved plans for a renovation, but when concerned town residents saw the renovations had decimated the old building, a special ARB meeting was called. ARB members said they knew the scope of the new owners’ plans for the building, and it was said that a hole in the Historic District Ordinance had permitted the demolition. Asked for comment, Mr. O’Connell said, “We are very pleased that any concern over major renovations to our home was able to be aired openly by the [ARB]. Due to the fact that the structure was previously determined to have no nuyor cultural or historical significance the approved alterations were deemed to be compatible. We look forward to the completion of a handsome improvement to the community’s unique architectural heritage.” The town has been struggling with the problem recently, and one proposed solution would make renovations become demolitions when more than 51 percent of the structure is removed; but that argument shows faulty logic. It is possible to measure 51 percent of the homes on a given block, or 51 percent of the residents of a town, but it is not possible to measure 51 percent of a house unless, we suppose, a giant chainsaw were to cut apart a perfectly symmetrical building. Instead of thinking in quantitative terms, the ARB ought to take one woman’s suggestion and explore what guidelines the National Trust for Historic Preservation has developed for when similar situations arise. The main objective being to keep the house’s historical value intact, the ordinance ought to do what it can to facilitate that goal. A 10-year-old wall built from cheap materials can be tom down without diminishing the building’s architectural contribution to the town as a whole. New storm windows, a new coat of paint, roof repairs: these are all renovations that preserve the building’s charm from the ravages of time and weather. In the case of the Jones building, most would agree that it was never a major landmark and the renovations are an improvement. But the process sets a precedent that may lead to a much bigger problem if one of the town’s more valuable structures gets the same so-called “renovations.” I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS DOESN'T ■ CHANGE ANYTHING - I WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT ALL THE PEOPLE ft SURE / SURs/ MO PROBlSfr / Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Before too long, these birds will be going south for the winter. Redistricting draws attention, criticism By JOHN GOOLRICK As Yogi Berra or someone once said, the opera isn’t over until the fat lady sings. Which means that Virginia’s redistricting saga is far from over as I write this column. And that means by the time you read this the present situation may well have changed. When the General Assembly got through its recent congressional redistricting efforts, political analyst Larry Sabato of the Univeristy of Virginia gave it a low mark and said it appeared that a bunch of kindergarten children had drawn the redistricting map with their crayons. Indeed, the Richmond area, which has always been k6pt reasonably compact in congressional redistricting, came out chopped to shreds. Parts of the city and surrounding environs were put in the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th congressional districts. But word is out that Gov. Doulgas Wilder, who grew up in Richmond and represented the city in the State Senate, may do something to repair the damage. If that is the case, the legislature will have to deal with his amendments when it reconvenes Dec. 9. I may be proved wrong, as is often the case, but I don’t think even the impetutous governor will try to totally rewrite the plan that creates a black majority district, creates a new Northern Virginia district with an open seat, protects incumbent Reps. James Moran and Norman Sisisky and still meets one-man, one vote requirements, although some of the lines drawn are weirdly shaped. Gov. Wilder is most likely to boost the percentage of blacks within the black district a bit and consolidate much of the Richmond area into the 1st or 7th districts, while swapping some other localities between those two districts. He will probably also let stand the placement of two incumbent Republican members of Congress in one district, though that, too, could be changed with the stroke of a pen. You can be sure that when the General Assembly acts in December to send the final version to the U.S. Department of Justice for its approval the plan will still be highly partisan in nature. That should come as no surprise since, as state Sen. Joseph Gartlan of Fairfax observed, redistricting has always been a partisan process and always will be so Old Dominion Politics long as it remains in the hands of politicians. After all, though Republicans in Virginia are in a legislative minority and express outrage about the Democratic plan, in states where the GOP is in a majority redistricting plans that emerge are in their favor. Del. Clinton Miller of Shenandoah, a Republican, is among those who think a non-partisan commission should be established that would undertaken the decennial redistricting process so that various communities of interest are preserved. I’ve heard no details of how such a commission would be established and how it would operate, but the notion is an intriguing one and certainly worth looking into. Yet even if Virginia found a way to take much of the politics out of re apportionment, the process of gerrymandering would still remain in other states of the union. So, perhaps, the matter of reapportionment following census counts should be addressed on a national basis. One doubts it will ever happen, although the idea seems to be a perfectly sensible one. Instead, the present system is likely to continue, particularly so long as federal courts rule that blatant partisanship in the drawing of reapportionment plans is perfectly fine so long as one man, one vote provisions are followed and the Voting Rights Act is obeyed. ' ’ i The bad news for Virginia Democrats, though, is that no matter how they snake the lines to suit themselves, this state appears to becoming increasingly Republican in voting habits and not even gerrymandering of the worst sort will be able to turn back the tide for long. ■ (Editor’s note: John Goolrick is a longtime Fredericksburg political reporter and 7th District Congressional aide to Rep.

He has lived on the rolling one-hundred-and-thirtythree acre Varner homestead for most of his busy life. The tall white house at the crest of the hill commands a panoramic view of the Blue Ridge. Black cattle dot the fields and a tall pine with drooping branches stands beside the house. During World War I Mr. Varner served as a cook in the East coast camps of Fort Dix, New Jersey, Fort Lee, Virginia and the old Washington Barracks in the Dirstirct of Columbia. He is still an ambitious cook and likes to bake biscuits in a wood-burning stove. He serves these with his own home-grown and homemade grape jelly or quince preserves.

Pearl Harbor Day memories don't fade with passing years uy 1V1AK1V SUULFORO Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Many who were alive on the day, 50 years ago this week, that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor remember where they were when they heard of the attack. Very few, probably, remember as well as Sperryville’s Jesse Pond, who was onboard a ship in Pearl Harbor that fateful morning. On a Sunday when most of the crew of his ship, the U.S.S. Chew, were ashore on leave or attending church services, NaVy Fireman First Class Pond was called upon to repel the enemy planes with a makeshift gun crew. His four-hour duty watch was due to end in the engine room at 8 a.m. Dec. 7, 1941, and as was customary his replacement, one “Slop Chute” Gray, relieved him 15 minutes early. At 7:45 a.m. he went topside from the engine room, his heavy denim clothes sopping with sweat— the temperature in the engine room was about 125 degrees. The mess cook went to get his breakfast and Mr. Pond noticed it was looking like a nice day, weatherwise. Just before he went down the hatch to eat he saw an airplane heading straight down, perpendicular to one of the American battleships lined up in the now-famous “Battleship Row.” The young sailor didn’t really think anything odd about the plane: American flyers would customarily “buzz” the ships in Pearl Harbor. But once below the deck, Mr. Pond heard and explosion and the general alarm sounded. He hurried to his battle station, the three-inch anti-aircraft gun on the forecastle. It was covered. In the din and confusion—more bombs were being dropped, battleships were on fire and, to top it off, there was only a skeleton crew aboard the U.S.S. Chew that day—he managed to assemble a group of sailors to help him get the gun uncovered and re They cut a Japanese plane in half, and it crashed off the bow. The men of the Crew paused briefly to shake hands, then continued their defense of the harbor. ady to fire. Mr. Pond was the only gun crew member aboard that morning, so he gave the others a 15-second lesson in how to operate the gun. They discovered there wasn’t any ammo, and the stock was secured and locked. Someone came up with 36-inch bolt cutters, and the gun was ready to be fired. Mr. Pond recalls that there were “a million” dive bombers and torpedo bombers in the sky, and their tail gunners would let go with a burst of machine gun fire at the crew of the Chew. Amazingly, at 8:03 a.m. the makeshift gun crew let loose their first round, and with no officers around—they were ashore—the sailors were on their own against a sky full of enemy planes. They cut a Japanese plane in half, and it crashed off the bow. The men of the Crew paused briefly to shake hands, then continued their defense of the harbor. By 10:20 a.m. they were under way, and could claim 2Vz Japanese planes to their credit. The enemy had sent 363 planes into Pearl that day, and lost only 29. Mr. Pond says it wasn’t until later that night that it sunk in: the United States had lost its Pacific Annual chorale show scheduled in WarrentOn Fauquier’s annual Christmas In Music Concert will be presented at 8 p.m. Dec. 6, 7 and 8 at the Warrenton United Methodist Church.

There were about 3,500 American soldiers and civilians killed in the attack. ‘We were just mad about it— mad at not only the Japanese, mad at our leadership,” he said. The Chew lost two men out of 110, he said. Mr. Pond is in Pearl Harbor this week, attending a private observance on the wreckage of the U.S.S. Utah. He is president of the nonprofit Pearl Harbor History Associateslnc., with headquarters at his home in Sperryville. Another Rappahannock resident whose life was inalterably changed by the Pearl Harbor attack is Pat Saltonstall, whose family lived in Hawaii, where her stepfather worked for a sugar company. Ms. Saltonstall, then 15 years old, had just been sent away to school in San Francisco when the attack occurred. It would be weeks before she heard from her family— they were all safe—and four years before she could return to the island. On Dec. 7 she and the four other “island girls” were returning from church services when one of the school’s day students leaned out a window and said with total insensitivity, “Hey, Pat, did you know your home has just been bombed?” Fear of a Japanese attack on the West Coast—unfounded fears, it turned out—meant the boarders spent that night in the basement, blacked out. It was the start of a four-year Odyssey for Ms. Saltonstall and millions of other Americans. Three weeks later Ms. Sal tons tall got word her parents and brother were safe. Her parents had attended an overnight party at Hickman Field, leaving her 12-year-old brother Nat at home with their servants. He saw one of the Japanese planes shot down, and it went into the Pacific Ocean right in front of their house. For the next four years the only contact she had with her family was through a series of censored letters and some rare, and monitored telephone calls. After the atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese mainland, Ms. Saltonstall dropped out of Smith College (where she was a classmate of Barbara Bush) and hitched a ride on a troop ship back home. The first thing she did upon returning home was to go for a swim in the family pool. Coming back to the surface she discovered a whitehaired man in the pool. It was Admiral Chester Nimitz. Following the surrender of the enemy, most of the Pacific force went through Hawaii on their way home. Among her memories is serving as a host for a party held to boost the spirits of the prisoners from Bataan. “There’s no question in my mind that Americans have a right to remember Pearl Harbor,” said Ms. Saltonstall. “It was a shocking, shocking thing.” Ninja is a two-year-old male shepherd cross.

Congressman votes against 1991 crime bill Congressman George Allen, RVa., voted to defeat the so-called 1991 “Crime Bill,” and in a speech on the House floor labeled the measure, “the Criminal Relief Act of 1991.” The Conference Report on the bill passed the House by only two votes (205-203) last week. Around 6:30 a.m., Congressman Allen rose to express his opposition to the legislation. Congressman Allen in urging the House to defeat the bill argued, “The 1991 Crime Bill provides too much protection for criminals, and generally works against law enforcement officers and law abiding citizens. The habeas corpus amendments are worse than current law; they create new legal hurdles for the implementation of state death penalty laws.” Allen continued, “In addition, the legislation would not allow incriminating evidence to be admissible in court, even if the evidence was obtained in ‘good faith’ and a crime had clearly been committed.” Allen signs on to new pay bill Congressman George Allen, RVa., has cosponsored a bill to change the current law that provides a perpetual appropriation for congressional salaries. Congressman Allen stated, “It’s time to make Congress accountable and responsible to the people again. If Congress cannot meet its obligation under law to adopt a budget in a timely manner, pay for Congressmen should be withheld.” The legislation requires that Congress must pass all general appropriation bills prior to the end of the current fiscal year, (Oct. 1), or the permanent appropriation for members’ pay will be withheld. Congressional aide to visit Ben Dutton, a representative of Congressman George Allen, R-7th, will visit Rappahannock County on Wednesday, Dec. 11. He will be available to talk with constituents who need assistance or have problems of a federal nature, such as with the Social Security Administration, Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Internal Revenue Service, Veterans Administration, etc. Citizens are also welcome to express their opinions on matters of concern, particularly national topics or issues before the U.S. Congress. He will be at the Rappahannock Courthouse in Washington from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Constituents who want to make direct contact with the Winchester office may call Mr. Dutton or Lisa Chapman at 703-667-0990.

Hospice helps 'prepare for inevitable' It would be quite a shock to discover that your life was limited and that you must prepare your friends and family for the inevitable. Hospice of the Rapidan, partially supported by Piedmont United Way, has supported over 350 patients and families through this preparation with physical, emotional, and spiritual care. The Hospice supports Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Hospice’s volunteers have not increased in number as patient needs meet an all time high census. Many patients do not have the volunteer support that they need. Many need assistance with picking up prescriptions, grocery shopping, and delivering wheelchairs. Some need transportation to doctor’s appointments. A licensed physical therapist is needed to donate an average of one Flint Hill Fire holds drawing Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company 4 is sponsoring a benefit drawing. Chances are being sold for a 25-inch RCA color TV, and second prize is a child’s family room furniture set with a Redskins theme. Tickets are available from any Co. 4 member and cost $1, or six for $5. The winners will be drawn at the fire company’s Dec. 21 Christmas breakfast. hour per week as necessary to assist paralyzed or weak patients. Being able to sit in a favorite chair or walk outside improves the quality of a patient’s limited life. With the cold weather, many patients are unable to pay for heat and medical bills. Often they lay in bed in the cold. Hospice needs split wood for heat as well as money to assist with fuel bills. Church and civic groups as well as wood cutters are asked to contact Hospice if they are willing to donate and deliver wood to patients. Designated donations for fuel assistance may be sent to Hospice and will be used for direct patient needs. Incontinence briefs and pads are needed to distribute to patients who are financially unable to purchase these items. Wheelchairs and bedside commodes in good condition are also needed for these patients. If you have these items to donate, please take them to the Hospice office at 211 Waters Place, Culpeper. In non-patient related needs, volunteers for office work such as filing, typing, or posting will increase office efficiency. Drivers with four wheel drives, willing to transport nursing personnel during bad weather, need to call the office at 703-825-4840 with their name and telephone number. Drivers are needed in each of the counties Hospice serves: Madison, - Rappahannock and Culpeper. Interested volunteers need to contact the office for information. Hospice’s special kind of caring depends upon your support. Hospice relies on volunteers To help patients with limited life expectancies live pain-free with independence and dignity at home while supporting the patient and family as the unit of care through interdisciplinary care, Hospice of the Rapidan’s mission is a road map to follow in making organizational decisions and caring for clients. “Health care is coming home where it belongs,” says Tina H. Weaver, executive director. “In Great Britain and Scandinavia virtually everything is now done at home. In my four years with Hospice, many aspects including pain control and death have returned to the home from an institutional setting.” In 1991, Hospice has provided case management for 68 patients and their families through an interdisciplinary team comprised of doctors, nurses, therapists, volunteers, social workers, patients and their families who sit down together and determine a plan of treatment that is executed by Hospice. “The Hospice patient has both the right and ability to make choices about treatment and desired outcomes,” says Jackie Kish, Director of Nursing. “Some patients weigh side effects of cancer treatment against benefits and determine that quality of life rather than quantity is their preference.” People used to live close to their families. Sons and daughters took parents into their home when they became ill. Lifespans were shorter requiring less years of care. Today, families are scattered and smaller. Therefore, there are fewer family members providing home care. Thus Hospice continues to see an increase in requests for home care for the terminally ill who personally or financially desire to remain at home. Hospice’s three registered nurses, five certified nursing assistants, social worker, medical director, clergy advisors and over 60 volunteers are committed to meeting and exceeding patient expectations. Nothing short of this is acceptable. Hospice is a unique health care system in that it focuses on the entire family unit. Hospice also provides bereavement care to the family after the death. “This may include financial counseling, insurance information, or emotional support,” continues Ms. Weaver. “This is a vital component of Hospice care.” To enroll in Hospice care, the patient, family member, neighbor, patient’s doctor or clergy may call the Hospice office. It is Hospice’s practice to visit the patient and assess needs in one day. Often the certified nursing assistant begins within two days providing respite for the caregiver and personal care for the patient. Hospice of the Rapidan is a nonprofit organization receiving partial funding from Piedmont United Way.

Each Sunday afternoon, the community room at the Rappahannock County Jail transforms into a place of meeting where inmates interested in a religious message can gather. Each Sunday afternoon, the place called the jail fades in the eyes of some as friends come together in peace. Interested county citizens have rotated turns and taken a special message to jail inmates for more than five years—spending 90 or more minutes in this room once a week. It is something unique—in more ways than one. Over five years ago, recovering alcoholic Ken Shankle of Sperry ville felt the calling to give a message at the jail. “I took my idea to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,” he said. The Brotherhood is the men’s group at Trinty Episcopal Church in Washington, Mr. Shankle’s church. “After nine or 10 months, the idea was just dropped and I got this guilty feeling,” said Mr. Shankle. Following his gut feeling, he set out to organize the ministry on his own. Working with is wife, Mary Beth, and with the help of his church and pastor, Rev. Jennings Hobson III, a plan was organized. Mr. Shankle explained the first step was getting clearance into the jail. Working with Lt. Charles Hitt of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office and Rev. Hobson, Mr. Shankle was allowed to begin his ministry. “It is sponsored and comes from Trinity but we don’t own it,” said Rev. Hobson. “The jail is an integral part of our community. This is good for the jail, good for the community and good for the inmates,” he said, adding that through the jail ministry seeds of faith and hope are planted. “We don’t know what seeds we plant. But, we plant,” he said. Inside the white room a deputy stands guard with the doors locked and inmates take their seats. It was in that very room that the first seeds of faith were cultivated. A stonemason by trade, a father of four, a husband, a born-againChristian leader, Mr. Shankle said he was “quite frightened” of his first visit to the jail. “I had no experience, no background” in ministry, he said but his lack of experience did not stop his quest. “It was a learning experience for me,” he said. “It was odd. No one wanted to talk to a minister at first,” said Mr. Shankle. But, slowly the ice was broken. In five years, there has been everything from a baptism to communion to spiritual blessings to simple scripture readings, involved lessons and religious conversions. The number of inmates attending the weekly meetings grew from five. “Now they are extremely receptive and look forward to the Sunday meetings,” he said. Besides the Sunday meetings, inmates look forward to the Tuesday meeting, an alcohol and drug awareness meeting. Through tapes, discussion and guest speakers inmates gather for meetings each Tuesday evening under the direction of Mr. Shankle. They may not have come just for the message. Many may visit the meeting for a change of environment or an opportunity to talk with someone new. For a variety of reasons, the criminals began coming to the weekly meetings. “Before they could let the ministry and God into their life, they had to make a change,” said Mr. Shankle. As a recovering alcoholic, Mr. Shankle took the meeting upon himself. “The drug and alcohol awareness program and the church ministry complement each other,” he said, adding “the program would not have worked so well if not for the two sides. t “These are people who need to know someone cares for them,” he said. “It makes me feel good. People are really glad to see you,” he said. He said it is the “exception • ‘[The inmates] are always receptive, always cordial and « courteous, always supportive — Jon Heddleston Jail ministry rather than rule for an inmate to be disruptive.” Such a ministry takes time, effort and consistency. A group effort was necessary to make it work. In the early stages of devel-’ opment, Mr. Shankle contacted local teacher, father and Washington' Baptist Church member Jon Heddleston concerning participation in such a ministry. “It was the strangest thing,” said Mr. Heddleston. Months before Mr. Shankle contacted him, Mr. Heddleston had attended a men’s breakfast in Warrenton that concerned prison ministry. “I wanted to start something,’* said Mr. Heddleston. But he was discouraged after talking about it with the guest speaker, a professional jail minister for over 20 years, who explained the program would only be ellective it done on a consistent weekly basis. Mr. Heddleston knew with a fulltime teaching position, a family, and other obligations he could not dedicate that much time and set about trying to gain support for his efforts. Then he was contacted by Mr. Shankle. “He asked me to participate just once in a while—once or twice a month. This was exactally what I wanted,” Mr. Heddleston said. From that beginning the program began to branch, including ministers and lay people from the Rappahannock community and guests who wished to participate. The Sunday afternoon periods vary in form, depending on the leader, though- all have a religious message. “I would read some scripture, preach—nothing was in concrete,” Mr. Shankle said, adding “I just spend alot of time on my knees asking for direction. “I firmly believe God called me— not anyone else—to get this ball rolling,” he said. Some lay persons who offer time once a month prefer to remain unknown. Others, like Rappahannock County High School English teacher Mr. Heddleston, take a guitar, a one-act play or a prepared message for their friends in the county jail. Mr. Heddleston wears faded and well-worn blue jeans with a buttondown short-sleeve faded, pink, shirt, unbuttoned and showing a well-worn T-shirt underneath. His tennis shoes look just like the shoes on several other feet as he and his congregation sit in a loose circle and find marked passages in the Holy Bible. He talks to the inmates like friends, discussing incidents at school and home as one would at a dinner party. He mentions other inmates who have moved away, been released, or been incarcerated at other local jails. There is no judgement in his voice. Just concern. There is laughter and joking and singing and praying. “When I went in there the first time, I was prepared for anything derogatory,” he said. He has found just the opposite. “They are always receptive, always cordial and courteous, always supportive,” he said, adding the deputies, Sheriff John H. Woodward and Lt. Hitt “could consider this an interruption but they are always supportive and responsive.” “This program is very unique,” said Rev. Hobson. ‘It may not have been so successful in another jail,” he said, adding it’s “something more than just a small jail. It’s community.” “We have been privileged to coordinate and assist. We have been welcomed and helped,” he said. Through this help, someone may find hope. “We have seen some change,” said Rev. Hobson.

Wilder announces $80 million housing plan Aided by an allocation by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder of $30 million in additional bonding authority, the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) today unveiled an $80 million program to boost Virginia’s home construction and sales industries by offering new and increased mortgage loan assistance to low to moderate income first-time homebuyers. The new Operation Bootstrap, approved today by the VHDA’s Board of Comissioners, will enable VHDA to provide home mortgage loans to families who previously could not qualify for VHDA assistance. Money for VHDA’s new program is coming from the sale of $30 million worth of mortgage revenue bonds allocated last month by Gov. Wilder and an additional $50 million from VHDA’s existing bond allocation. VHDA’s Operation Bootstrap will provide mortgage loans for lowincome families with preference being given to those whose incomes are half of the median income and who are living in public housing.or receiving rental assistance. These families can qualify for a fixed interest rate of 4.5 percent, VHDA’s lowest rate ever. This low rate will permit VHDA to help families who might not qualify for mortgage loans at higher interest rates. These targeted 4.5 percent loans will be available shortly after the first of the year. $ While seeking to serve poorer families than those served previously, VHDA also will increase its buyer income and home sales price limits to help moderate income families who previously were ineligible for VHDA loans, because their incomes were just above the former limits. Even with this increase, VHDA’s income and price limits are Andrew K. Pratt finishes course Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Andrew K. Pratt, whose wife, Betty, is the daughter of Martha and George E. Kidwell Jr. of Route 1, Castleton, recently completed a six-week refresher training exercise aboard the destroyer USS Comte De Grasse, homeported in Norfolk. Mr. Pratt participated in a wide variety of challenging training drills. Damage control was the primary focus of training in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the crew practiced in recovery of emergency situations from fires and floods to multiple battle hits. Although all of the damages were simulated, the training environment was made as close to the real thing as possible. The 1989 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, Sperryville, joined the Navy in August 1989. still somewhat below the maximum permitted by the federal government. Moderate income families may receive mortgage loans at interest rate that prevails at the time a loan reservation is made. The current fixed rate offered is 7.875 percent. These loans will be available for families whose loan reservations are made on or after Nov. 20 and whose loans are closed on or after Dec. 2. Gov. Wilder said that this '‘infusion or mortgage credit will give a significant boost to our homebuilding industry—while at the same time—giving moderate income families a chance at homeownership.” “The additional assistance from Gov. Wilder and the targeting of our home loan program to more low income and more moderate income families should enable VHDA to help house more families and to help generate more economic activity,” said John Ritchie Jr., VHDA’s executive director. VHDA was established in 1972 to encourage the investment of private capital from throughout the nation in affordable housing that is sold or rented to low- or moderate-income families in Virginia. A financing authority that is completely self-supporting, VHDA’s financial services have aided more than 110,000 Virginia families and generated more than $3.9 billion in economic activity. VHDA programs also have helped to create more than 33,000 construction jobs and produce more than $246 million in federal and state taxes. More than $17 million in local real estate taxes are generated annually by VHDA programs. SAFE offers families place to get help According to the Culpeper-based Services to Abused Families, Inc.

I doubt the post Office will accept it, even if we approve it because of the high cost, but we have no basis for disapproval if it is contingent on having the post office.” Col. Bingham said he understood the Postal Service is considering several other sites, but Mrs. Semones’s location is the closest to the current post office to come before the supervisors so far. He said the Postal Service is again considering a site outside the county. “If we lose the post office in Amiss ville, I feel it would be disastrous for the community,” he added. Col. Bingham made the motion to approve because “public convenience dictates approving this rezoning” contingent on highway and Health Department approvals, contingent on the two traitors now located on the property being removed from the property, and contingent on approval of final site plans. The motion passed unanimously. The supervisors also approved rezoning 2.56 acres owned by Everett Estes from Agriculture to General Commercial and changing from General Commercial to Agricultural zoning on some of the land Mr. Estes owns behind Hillsdale Grocery. The supervisors agreed with Mr. Estes that his property had been incorrectly zoned when the zoning maps were drawn. He owns a plumbing shop on the property which was not included in the commercial zone. The newly zoned property wraps around the Hillsdale Grocery in a U shape with two pieces of road frontage on U.S. 211. Hampton District representative Mike Massie abstained from voting because he owns adjoining property, but he said a constituent had been pleased that the commercial zone would not extend as far up the hill as it currently does. This rezoning passed 4 to 0. In other action the Board of Supervisors: • Agreed to consider a measure granting tax relief to eligible elderly and handicapped landowners at next month’s meeting with a public hearing scheduled in February. • Agreed to hold public hearings in January on an ordinance to restrict vicious and destructive dogs and on the county seal. • Approved a resolution granting the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board approval to borrow money to construct a building to house administrative offices in Culpeper and appointed Ailine Johnson to succeed Frances Thornton on that board. • Again tabled consideration of the Sperryville bypass. • Agreed with a highway department request to renumber Route 682 to 681, to match its number in Madison County. • Appointed Lee Bird to a further two-year term on the Middle Virginia Community Diversion Incentive Program. . • Approved a special exception for Charles Strittmatter to construct a tenant house on his 50-acre parcel to house a farm manager. District Continued from page A-1 The changes do not affect the 8th Congressional District in Arlington and eastern Fairfax, now held by Rep. James Moran (D), or the new, open 11th District that begins in Fairfax County and runs south into Prince William County. Doug Baumgardner, chairman of the Rappahannock Democratic Party, had written to the Governor’s Office to request that the governor veto the Congressional redistricting plan. In a Nov. 27 letter to Gov. Wilder’s Chief of Staff Jay Shropshire, Mr. Baumgardner wrote: “The General Assembly’s plan, insofar as it splits Rappahannock, does great violence to the mandate of Article II, Section 6 of the Virginia Constitution, wherein it is provided that districts be compact and contiguous.

All of Scrabble precinct and half of Sperryville were in the 7th District under the plan put forward by the Assembly. The rest of the county was in the 10th District. Rappahannock, with less than 7,000 population, was also split during State Senate redistricting. “There was no more reason for doing it then,” said Mr. Baumgardner. “I’m delighted we’re kept in one piece,” he said. The latest plan was achieved by taking all of Stafford County out of the 10th District and adding Valley counties, Scrabble and the rest of Sperryville. “My goal in writing the letter was to keep Rappahannock together,” said Mr. Baumgardner. “In all candor, I’m pleased to see us in the 10th." The General Assembly has reacted favorably to the governor’s amendments, and they are expected to pass. The 10th District is represented by six-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican.

Offer expires December 31,1991 Planning for landfill means opening new cell By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy showed the supervisors plans for the next cell at the landfill at Monday’s meeting. needs of the county through J: 1994, when new regulations fc&k6 effect that require a double liner on new cells. He noted that dirt from this section has been used for fill in the current cell, thus partially doing the excavation for the new cell. While the new cell is in use, dirt from the area to be used after 1994 will be used, thus partially excavating for that section, which is expected to serve the county for the succeeding five years. Mr. McCarthy explained that the requirement for a double liner reduces the life of each cell in the landfill, since the soil at the landfill cannot be excavated very deep. An additional two feet of fill are used between the two liners. Mr. McCarthy explained th; new cell is intended to Wnf Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said that new EPA regulations exempt localities with less than 20 tons per day from the requirement for two liners. Mr. McCarthy said the state of Virginia is following its own guidelines when they are more stringent than EPA requirements, and that the exemption does not apply if any day the locality goes over 20 tons. He said that the county is currently generating about 17 tons per day, but the day after Christmas, more than 20 tons are deposited for landfilling. He said that a joint landfill with Page County and other counties is still being considered, but Page County is exploring the possibility of a public service authority with the boards of all the participating counties getting together to float bonds. He said he did not anticipate such an agreement being reached in time to take care of the county’s trash after January 1994. , Assess Continued from page A-1 state. Those figures were for an average house. He said average houses were classified as class C. Better houses were classed as A or B, and worse houses were classed as D or E. The best houses 'were assessed as up to 140 percent of their square foot basis, and the worse might be as low as 60 percent. In addition, he said the assessors factored in depreciation, depending on the condition of the house. For land values, he said, the assessment was based on sales in 1989 and 1990. He said some landowners complained that property values in 1991 are lower than they were in 1989 and 1990. He said the assessors had checked on sales prices for the first six months of 1991. “There was some fall off in volume, but not much fall off in price,” he said. He said some people were comparing their assessments in land use with the new assessment. “One fellow didn’t even know he was in land use,” Col. Luke added. “If you listened to the people who came in, you’d decide this county is nothing but a pile of rocks,” he said. “Some people have the manners of a skunk,” he added. He said most people “thought the procedure is wrong, but it’s the procedure that is used throughout the state.” At the evening meeting, developer and real estate agent A1 Henry complained that the assessments were generally too high. He said he had told the assessors about several properties that had sold recently for less than their new assessments. He claimed that the appraisal firm and the Board of Assessors agreed that the assessments were to© high, but said it wouldn’t matter if all were equally high. He said that high assessments would cause people to have to pay too much inheritance tax and might cause people to borrow on “phantom equity” in home equity loans. He suggested that the supervisors not accept the new assessments and order the appraisal firm or Board of Assessors to rework the assessments based on more recent sales. County Administrator John Me--* Carthy said the only way to do that ; would be to conduct a whole new as-' sessment. ‘ He noted that there will always^ be “lag time” between the sales'!' prices used for the assessment and the new assessment taking effect. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that following the last - reassessment properties were selling for more than the assessments.' “We were under then and now wer are over,” he said. r Circuit Court Judge Shore Rob-, ertson will make appointments to: the Board of Equalization at the January term date. Mr. Gilkey said thejudge would consider recommendation from the supervisors and any other interested candidates. He sug- : gested his fellow supervisors bring recommendations for that board, which will hear appeals from those not satisfied with their assessments, to the January supervisors meeting.

Turn back the clock on Japanese attack By WALTER DAY Dec. 7 has been exercised by the media for some time now. Fifty years ago a sneak attack, many lives lost, vast resources expended, Japan defeated, Japan rebuilt and now we owe them a lot of money we have had to borrow. Why haven’t we sent them a bill for Pearl Harbor at least? We are short of cash right now and need the money. When other countries win a war they loot and pillage and it is a money making venture, pure capitalism. Another bad example of a poor venture is Iraq, we had nothing against the people, just the boss. We ended up killing a lot of the people including some of our own and the demon is still at large. We did not make a dime on it either. I believe that I should allow the Rappahannock News to enter a disclaimer ’bout now wherein they deny any responsibility for the views expressed in this column. I will not accept the responsibility either but blame it on the Japanese. When the attack was announced in 19411 was in a movie house with a college friend, Jim Atkins. The next day we both went over to the recruiting office and joined the Marine Corps (temporary insanity). At the time I was flunking four out of five subjects my first semester and thought it a face saving alternative. I spent 12 years in the insanity mode. When people ask me questions about events in my life I always have the same answer. Why do I live in Virginia Day By Day instead of Idaho where I came from, why am I an engineer, etc. Why? Why? Why? Because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. And that is a fact. I can shed a lot of responsibility on fate. The local Architectural Review Board stays a little too busy. The recent criticism of the rebuilding on Gay Street is a little much when around the comer is an antique collection of construction equipment that long ago became a landmark in the 1 town. Question to the board: “If the place is restored, do they have to keep the ’37 tractor or will a newer model be acceptable?” “May they paint the old trucks, and what color?” My father said when I was young/ Be loyal straight and true/ The trail will bend and go your way/ And fortune come to you. So I walked and did his whim/ The path was rough, the shoes wore thin,/ It got so bad I nearly died/ I know it now, the old man lied. 'Mutzmag/ latest movie by area family, released “Mutzmag” will be the 10th film in local producers Tom and Mimi Davenport’s award winning American folktale series “From the Brothers Grimm,” which includes such classic family films as “Jack and the Dentist’s Daughter,” “Soldier Jack,” and “Ashpet.” Films in the series have won the American Library Association’s “academy award” for children’s film as well as first prize awards at the Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston film festivals. “Mutzmag” is set deep in the Appalachian mountains around 1916. The heroine is a plucky young girl named Mutzmag. In a series of hair-raising and comical adventures, Mutzmag saves her gullible half sisters from two bizarre backwoods cannibals. Mutzmag’s mother dies early in the story, and her two teen-aged sisters decide to leave thier tumble down shack and “seek their fortunes” elsewhere. Mutzmag tags along, acting as a servant girl to her abusive siblings. The girls lose their way in the forest and end up at the cabin of a wicked witch and her brutal but simple-minded giant husband. Quick witted Mutzmag saves the day with nothing but a pocket knife and a ball of string. The folktale was collected in Richard Chase’s well-known book “Grandfather Tales” and is related to the American trickster “Jack Tale” type, but with a heroine instead of a hero. Mythologist Joseph Campbell called folktales “the primer of the picture language of the soul. ” Director Tom Davenport found most of his cast in Madison County, N.C., a rural and isolated mountainous area north of Ashville, famous for its tradition of Appalachian ballad singing. Sheila Barnhill, who plays Mutzmag’s mother, is the best known native Appalachian ballad singer in America. Sheila also performs the bar\jo music that accompanies the film. She is a teacher in Madison County and introduced Mr. Davenport to Robbie Sams, who plays Mutzmag in the film. Robbie took on this difficult and physically taxing role even though she has cystic fibrosis. . Location filming was done in North Caro Detail from scene in ‘Mutzmag.’ lina, on Davenport’s farm/studio near Delaplane, and in Buchanan Hall in Upperville where local carpenter Randolph Lloyd constructed a complete log cabin under the dirajtion of set designer Doug Ball. (Mr. Ball was the former head of Literacy Volunteers in Fauquier County.) ' “Mutzmag” is reminiscent of Davenport’s earlier work “Hansel and Gretel: An Appalachian Version.” Like many folktales, it contains dark and scary scenes. Mr. Davenport has chosen to be faithful to the folktale and target an audience age 10 through adult, although, with parental or teacher guidance, the film will work well with younger audiences. ; Funding for “Mutzmag” came from a $246,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. “Mutzmag” is 53 minutes long and will be released January 1992 in 16mm ($550) and video ($89). Earlier titles from the “From the Brothers Grimm” series are available at $19.95 each by mail order or phone from Davenport Films. The films are distributed in video by Davenport Films, Rt. 1 Box 527, Delaplane Va. 22025, call 703-592-3701. The release is January 1992.

This observation appears to be, unfortunately, true of man. It seems that many of us, in time of trouble, try to solve our problems every way but the right way. It is true that w'e must attempt to help ourselves and use our own available resources; yet, first of all, we need to go to God. Psalms 34:19 assures us, saying, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all." You do not have to wait until life is dark, until your troubles seem insurmountable. Praise God in His house this week as you look to him for guidance. When trouble threatens, ask God first.

Innovative uses for buttermilk put twist on traditional food By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock New« Contributing Writer When I attended the spaghetti dinner at RCHS recently — a fund raiser for the senior class trip — Frances Foster, our Rappahannock County Treasurer, had made a delicious fresh apple cake with buttermilk icing for one of the desserts. The buttermilk icing is especially good at keeping the cake moist. I asked her to share her recipe for my column this week and did a little research on today’s buttermilk. Most of us probably remember our grandmother’s who churned to make butter. The remaining fluid was drained off for use as a nourishing beverage and cooking ingredient. Factory production of butter began about 1860, but most butter was churned on farms until the 1930s and ’40s. Creameries began to dry the churned buttermilk in the 1940s for more efficient use in baked goods, candy, ice cream mixes, and other dried mixes. Milk processors then started pro HOME ECONOMICS during cultured buttermilk to meet consumer demand. Butter making now Today’s buttermilk is made by fermentation, a process known to the ancient populations of southern Russia and the eastern Mediterranean countries. They found that milk left in a warm place developed a tart flavor and thicker body. Today we know that these changes are caused by bacterial action. Specially selected strains of bacteria are grown, or cultured, under laboratory conditions. Once added to fluid milk, these beneficial bacterial multiply and convert some of the milk sugar lactose to lactic arid. This lactic arid gives cultured milk products their tart flavor. The thickness is the result of bacterial action on milk protein. But the production of contemporary fermented milk products is not left to chance, as it was in days of yore. Hence the term “cultured,” to indicate that specific bacteria are used and that the fermentation process is rigidly controlled. In fact, the bacterial cultures and the fermentation controls determine whether buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, or cheese will be the end product.

Skim milk is sometimes fortified with nonfat dry milk to produce a thicker body. Shopping pointers Traditionally, buttermilk was popular as a Southern-style cooking ingredient and beverage. Now available nationwide, it is found throughout the year in supermarket dairy cases. In addition to fluid buttermilk, non-fat dry buttermilk can be purchased. This is great to keep on hand for baking. Storage recommendations Buttermilk, like all fluid milk, should be kept clean, cool, and covered. Refrigerate buttermilk in a closed container to protect its fresh acid flavor, aroma, and texture. Buttermilk’s acidity retards growth of spoilage bacteria. Thus, buttermilk will keep for as long as two weeks after purchase if stored properly. Freezing buttermilk is not advised because it causes separation of the watery portion of buttermilk from the solids. If frozen, buttermilk can be thawed in refrigerator, gently stirred, and best used in cooked products. Bills of fare with buttermilk Imaginative — and frugal — cooks have long used buttermilk as a cooking ingredient. Its slight acidity makes for light and tender cakes, biscuits, and pancakes, and helps tenderize meats. The “gaminess” of a meat like vension, for example, is offset by marinating it in buttermilk overnight. Buttermilk pound cake (Frances Foster) 3 cups sugar 1 stick soft butter 1/2 cup shortening 5 eggs 3 cups flour 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 tsp. soda 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. lemon Combine sugar, butter and shortening; beat until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and buttermilk alternately; mix well. Dissolve soda in 1 tablespoon water; stir into batter. Add flavoring; pour into greased tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan; cool completely. Buttermilk icing (Frances Foster) 1 tsp. soda 1 cup buttermilk 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup butter 1 tsp. vanilla Stir soda into buttermilk; combine all ingredients except vanilla in sauce pan, cook until icing forms soft ball; cool, add vanilla, beat slightly. Spread over side and top of cake. Note: Frances said this recipe makes a lot of icing. She uses only half of recipe. Very good on fresh apple cake.
