Homeless families go unnoticed in county By Tom Crosby o one knows how many homeless families live in Shenandoah County. “It’s a deep, dark secret no one wants to talk about,” said Mary Ann Gardner, who years ago was homeless with two children aged 9 and 13 for more than a year, living in her car and dressing for job interviews inside a storage unit. In Shenandoah County, homeless families may temporarily live in tents in the George Washington National Forest, sleep overnight in cars parked at well-lit malls, or stay briefly with friends and relatives until they become a burden and have to leave. Many try to remain invisible and confess fear of losing their children to Social Services if it becomes known they don’t have permanent shelter, money, food or clothing and are unable to find a job. The swirl of issues surrounding the homeless -- social stigma, lack of employable skills, unpaid debts, poverty -- helped spur Woodstock’s Antioch Church of the Brethren to seek a nationally known, communitywide program in cooperation with other county churches to help Shenandoah County’s homeless families as a unit. “Children are generally at the greatest risk among homeless families,” said the Rev. George Bowers Sr., pastor at Antioch Church. Along with other churches, Antioch is partnering with Family Promise, which operates in 48 states with a 77 percent success rate in helping homeless families stay together and get back on their feet. Once a dozen or more of Shenandoah County’s 120 churches commit to the program, said Bowers, then shelter, food, clothing, counseling and cooperation with county services and resources will be provided for families totaling a maximum of 14 people. “We know there is a problem,” said Donna Hupp of the Strasburg Christian Church. “I know of a mother with five children, but we don’t have the resources in the county to help her right now. We need this program. If we combine our (community and church) resources, we can provide them the opportunity to gain skills and get back on their feet. People need to get involved instead of just writing a check.” “Some people say they also want to help homeless men and women, but we can’t help everybody,” said Hupp. “It would be tremendous just to help one family. Sometimes we just lose the value of helping just one family.” Family Promise’s premise is to keep the family intact through the recovery process. Social Services of Shenandoah County understands the need for a cohesive family unit, but employees understand their legislated mandate is to protect children first and neglect, which often accompanies homelessness, means they sometimes have to put children in foster homes until parents can once again care for them. Whenever possible, they try to work with the families as a unit when the children are not at risk. Libby Rocco, who attends Wakeman’s Grove Church of the Brethren, is leading the church recruitment effort, and said five or more additional churches are needed to begin and ensure successful operation right from the start.

The Rev. George Bowers, pastor of Antioch Church of the Brethren in Woodstock, stands in front of this van that was donated by First Baptist Church, also of Woodstock. The van will be used to transport homeless families to and from churches to a proposed day center in the Woodstock area. Antioch Church of the Brethren and a dozen or more area churches have partnered with Family Promise to help struggling families. Rich Cooley/Daily “There is no reason to start and burn out the (already committed) churches,” she said. “They commit to helping one week a quarter or four times a year, with the host church providing shelter, food and transportation and interaction with county resources.” Adding to the urgency to get the program started is a fire that destroyed the Shenandoah Alliance for Shelter in April, and it is not being rebuilt, Rocco said. Churches committed so far are St. John’s Methodist Church; St. John’s Bosco Catholic Church; Saumsville and Strasburg Christian Churches, and Valley Pike, Wakeman’s Grove and Antioch Churches of the Brethren. Currently, the Shenandoah County Public Schools has 26 children who are homeless, according to Debby Litten, Supervisor of Student Services. “We need their permission to declare them homeless and we have students who don’t want to be declared homeless,” Litten said. “We still give them forms to fill out so they can get free lunch at school.” Counselors at the school work with the families when children are declared homeless. Litten said of the 26 children, 22 live with relatives or friends, three are in a shelter and one lives in a hotel. “One lady called me and she has a single bedroom apartment. Her daughter and sonin-law and three children had moved in with her and she was afraid her lease would be canceled. She was hoping the program had started,” said Rocco. “Just because they are not visible on our streets, people don’t think it is a problem but it is,” said Hupp. For more information or to volunteer, call 540-459-3361.
Strasburg woman recalls family homelessness By Tom Crosby She was a housewife living in Northern California when her husband walked out on her and their two children, triggering foreclosure on their home and repossession of her car. Without a job, Mary Ann Gardner (her current name) became head of a homeless family, and when a friend gave her an old Rambler, she and the children, aged 9 and 13, often had to sleep in the car as she tried to keep her children in school. “Living in a car is no fun, we packed everything in the trunk and I had friends who let me use their address because the school needed a permanent address,” said Gardner, now 63, often struggling to control her emotions as she dredged up buried memories that she says left a permanent mental scar. “It was a crucial time for my children,” she said as the kids bounced around from house to house. “They would stay at someone’s house, but it was never a home,” said Gardner, who was in her late 30s at the time. “They both fell behind at school and it affected their lives forever. Neither graduated from high school.” “The car, probably worth $200, had a broken gas gauge that made me have to guess when I needed gas and worry if I could pay for it,” she said. “I would get dressed in a closed-up storage area to look like a normal human being when I applied for a job.” “The humiliation you go through when
people look at you ... it destroys your self-esteem and it is hard to be functional in your daily life and get back on a schedule, getting kids to do their homework,” she said. What about asking social services or community programs for help? “I wasn’t about to tell anyone I didn’t have to tell that we were homeless. My children were the most important thing to me and I told them not to tell anyone our circumstances. I didn’t want to have to fight to get them back. I would have gone over the deep end,” she said. “It wouldn’t have been so difficult if I could have gone to social services and gotten aid, but I couldn’t ask them for anything. They would have had to take my children. Social services protects the children, not the family,” she said. Eventually, an attorney offered her a job; she sold everything she could to get a down payment on an apartment, and later moved back to Strasburg when the children were 18 years of age. Today, she is a program director for the Shenandoah County Agency for the Aging, has been remarried for 15 years and has been active in helping her church commit to participating in Family Promise. “I wish this program was available when I was homeless and we could have stayed together as a family while getting help,” she said. Her children live in California. Today, both have good jobs and families of their own.

’Tis The Season To Share By Tresa Erickson
I
t’s no secret. Volunteers make up an integral part of many organizations, donating a good portion of their skills, energy and time to the cause. With the need for volunteers so crucial, it is not hard to find a place to help out, especially during the holiday season. If you are pumped to give back this season and have some time to spare, here are some tips for finding the right volunteer opportunity for you.
What? Before you do anything, think about the causes you would most like to support. There are a lot of organizations that support a lot of causes. What causes are near and dear to your heart? Raising funds for AIDS research? Visiting with seniors? Making care packages for soldiers? Caring for animals? Boxing up food for the hungry?
How? Along with causes, think about the services you have to offer. What are your skills, interests and talents? How can you help? Some volunteer work is very basic and requires very little in the way of skills, sorting and boxing supplies, for example. Some requires a specific set of skills, like first aid. Know how you can help before you start looking for volunteer opportunities.
When? Consider the time you have to offer as well. Some volun-
teer work is long term. Some is short term. How much time can you devote to volunteer work? When would you be available?
Where? Think about where you would like to serve. Some organi-
zations are rather large. Some are faith based. Some serve particular populations. Again, what causes would you like to support? Where could you best support those causes that meets your needs and values as well? When you have a good idea of what you have to offer, you can start looking around. The holiday season is a popular time to give back to the community, and there should be plenty of volunteer opportunities available. Ask around. Check the newspaper ads. Conduct a search online. Opportunities will vary, but here are some businesses that are often in need of volunteers: • Animal shelters
• Museums
• Parks
• Churches
• Music programs
• Schools
• Hospitals & clinics
• Non-profits
• Theaters
• Libraries
• Nursing homes
• Zoos & nature centers
When you find some volunteer opportunities of interest, call and get all of the details. Make sure you meet the criteria and can fulfill the obligations. If you have a bad back, for example, you may not be able to handle donations. Don’t sign up for a position you cannot fulfill or are uncomfortable doing. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and make a difference in the lives of others. If you have the chance to do so this holiday season, go for it!

Classic Holiday Desserts
(Family Features) The holidays are a special time of year to celebrate and connect with family and friends. From a cookie swap at work to a formal holiday dinner at home, with the right kind of recipes and a little planning, any holiday gathering can be a sweet success. But, before you tie your apron strings and grab your rolling pin, avoid the last minute trips to the store by stocking up on baking staples like flour, butter, sugar and especially eggs. As a versatile and affordable ingredient, eggs can be used in everything and offer limitless baking possibilities — from pies to cookies to eggnog. Plus, at 15 cents apiece, they can be an affordable way to feed a crowd for the holidays.

What Does It All Mean?
By Tresa Erickson tʼs your turn to cook holiday dinner this year, and after days of browsing recipes, youʼve determined what the menu will be. Youʼve read through the recipes, made a grocery list and will soon start the shopping. In the meantime, youʼre going to familiarize yourself with the recipes. Blend, bind, beat, scald, simmer, sear—there are a lot of cooking terms, some with very close meanings. Here is a brief review to help you keep them straight.
I
• BLEND, BEAT, BIND
Blending and beating are both techniques for mixing ingredients. The difference lies in the touch. Blending generally requires a lighter touch than beating, which may involve the use of an electric mixer. Binding requires a heavy touch involving a thickening agent, like eggs or sauce.
• BLANCH, POACH
Blanching and poaching both involve the cooking of food in liquid. Blanching takes a lot less time than poaching—dipping asparagus in hot water to tenderize it, for example. It is usually just the start of the cooking.
• TOSS, WHIP, PUREE
All involve the mixing of ingredients. As with beating and blending, the difference lies in the touch. Tossing requires gentle mixing. Whipping and pureeing require vigorous mixing—the former until the mixture is light and fluffy and the latter until the mixture is a smooth paste. curs in the broiler under dry, intense heat.

• BOIL, SCALD, SIMMER All of these involve the heating of liquids to various degrees. Boiling involves very high heat. Food is cooked until bubbly hot. Scalding also involves high heat. Food is cooked almost until bubbly hot. Simmering involves high heat and low heat. Food is cooked until bubbly hot and then reduced to a lower temperature.
• STEAM, STEW Both of these techniques involve the cooking of food in liquids. Steaming takes place in water, stewing, in the foodʼs juices and water. These are just some of the terms you may come across while cooking your holiday feast. There are many others, and some may have a slightly different meaning or more than one meaning depending upon what the recipe calls for.

Shenandoah County Living
Tree of Love The Tree of Love celebration, sponsored by the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, has grown to be one of the most popular Holiday Season Events. The Shenandoah Memorial Hospital Home Health Care unit has benefited as the grateful recipient of the proceeds from the Tree of Love. The Thrivent Chapter 30980 of the Lutheran Church is a sponsor. We ask that you help to make this year the most successful year ever. It is easy to participate and is a beautiful way to honor or memorialize your loved one. For every $5.00 donation, lights are placed on one of two trees at the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital lobby. The person you honor (or family member, if you memorialize) can be notified. Also, the Tree of Love Book is located in the lobby of the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, is inscribed with the name you designate. You are invited to attend the tree lighting ceremony on the 1st Sunday in December at 7 p.m., at the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital lobby. Much good is accomplished with the funds raised by Tree of Love donations. SMH Home Health Care patients unable to afford health care are the benefactor for this fund raiser.

Many charts are available listing the proper internal temperature for various meats at various degrees of doneness. Some of these charts also provide recommendations on how the meat should look and feel at the various degrees of doneness. Rare beef, for example, should have a bright red center and be pink, soft and warm throughout.
Knowing what the internal temperature of the meat should be is one thing. Cooking it to the right temperature is another. To determine the internal temperature of meat, you must have a meat thermometer and you must use it properly. There are several meat thermometers available, many of which will work on other foods. To ensure you get an accurate reading, you should follow the manufacturerʼs directions. Generally, you should place the thermometer in the centermost, thickest area of the meat, away from bone, fat and gristle. With poultry, the inner thigh near the breast will do. You should check the temperature near the end of the recommended cooking time and wash the thermometer after each use to prevent cross-contamination.
Once the meat has reached the proper internal temperature, you may remove it from the heat source. You should let it sit for a bit in order for the cooking to finish and the juices to redistribute. This is known as the resting period, and it may vary according to the meat you have prepared. Ground meat, for example, generally requires no resting time, whereas whole pork should have at least three minutes of rest time. For the best results, you may want to let the meat sit for 10 or 15 minutes before carving. That way, you will ensure the cooking is complete and the meat will not scorch hungry mouths.

By checking the internal temperature, you can ensure foods are done and prevent overcooking and food poisoning. Your holiday dinner and every meal you make will taste great and be safe.
