RCES Receives State's Political Computer Gift By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County Elementary School was one of the schools in the state which benefited from the Allen administration's gift of surplus state computers. Democrats have criticized the program as politically motivated since the computers went to schools in districts where incumbent Republican legislators were facing stiff opposition. During the campaign Del. Jay Katzen announced that there were 30 such computers available to schools in his 31st District, and RCES would be getting 10 of them. The computers were declared surplus because the state work force had been cut back under the Allen administration, according to a press release from Del. Katzen's campaign. Holly Pendleton, the county school system’s computer expert, said the elementary school received three 386 machines, six 286 machines and one 8086 machine, otherwise known as the PC-XT. He said they have not yet been put in use because they came with no software and the school is waiting for software it has ordered to go with them. The distribution of computers to schools around the state was supposed to be part of a program to put a computer in every classroom in Virginia. RCES already has enough computers to do that, but they have not been distributed in that way. Some classroom have one or two computers; some have four or so, and some classrooms have a computer for every desk. Mr. Pendleton said six elementary school classrooms currently have no computers. Some of the 10 computers from the state will be assigned to the library to handle the computerized card catalog, he said. Others may be distributed so that each classroom has at least one computer. Mr. Pendleton is working on plans for networking all the computers at the elementary school. Once the computer network system is in place it will be possible for all these machines to communicate with each other. Mr. Pendleton said the networking program is still in the planning stage, but he hopes to have the process completed during the current school year. Victims' Rights Supported in Proposed Amendment By ROB WILHELM Capital News Service Richmond —■ The Virginians United Against Crime group continues to stump for the crime Victims and Witness Rights Act, a proposed constitutional amendment to Virginia’s Constitution that would ensure victims the same rights afforded criminals. “As it is now, the scales are tipped toward the defendant, and there is a remarkable disadvantage for the prosecution,” said Warren VonSchuch, chief deputy commonwealth’s attorney for Chesterfield County, who attended VUAC’s meeting earlier this month in Richmond. About 25 people from across the state gathered to discuss victims hghts and seek answers from an eight-person panel of state officials that included Secretary of Public Safety Jerry W. Kilgore and Del. James F. Allmand, D-Arlington, chief architect of the victims rights act. In addition to discussing the proposed constitutional amendment, the panel discussed victim impact statements, juvenile justice reform, primary investigators in the courtroom and bail bond reform. Formed last November by Stanley Rosenbluth of Arlington and JoAnn Bruce of Ashland, the group wants to create a statewide network to support crime victims. All of the organization’s members are crime victims. Howard Gwynn, Newport News commonwealth’s attorney, told the group that he continually wrestles with the problem of making the victim real for the jury. “The defendant’s family gets the opportunity to try and humanize them, yet the victim’s family doesn’t get the same opportunitv.” he said. Because only judges rather than-juries are allowed to read victim impact statements, the panelists agreed that the existing law needs to be changed. Most VIJAC members, including Mr. Rosenbluth, say the current law creates a frustrating situation for victims and/or their families when they face exclusion from the courtroom. “We were forced to sit outside the courtroom on a bench and watch on a monitor,” said Mr. Rosenbluth, whose son and daughterin-law were shot and killed in their Chesterfield County home in 1993. Stephen Dalton, a Richmond defense attorney and former law partner of Attorney General James S. Gilmore 111, said the law that excludes material witnesses from the courtroom resulted from the courts’ experiences with this matter. Although not intentional, he said, witnesses can and do change their testimonies after hearing others testify in the courtroom. During the meeting the group, however, focused on the proposed constitutional amendment. Having unanimously passed in the last General Assembly, the amendment must be reviewed and passed in the 1996 session before going to the people via referendum. “I’m confident it will pass.” Mr. Kilgore said. “They’ve (VUAC members) been a catalyst for pushing all these important issues such as the crime victims bill of rights.” ' Throughout the conference, the panelists — especially Del. Allmand — emphasized the importance of this constitutional amendment becoming law. "Victims have expressed the thought that defendants are always talking about their constitutional rights, arid victims don’t have any constitutional rights to point to,” Del. Allmand said, adding that this law would validate victims. Likewise, Mr. Rosenbluth wants victims informed of their rights at the same time as suspects, saying the crime victims bill would make this mandatory . Yet, in its present form the proposed amendment fails to prov ide a form of recourse if the responding agency does not do its job. A provision at the end of the amendment states that there is “no course of action for compensation or damages” if the mandates in the amendment are not followed. Mr. Gwynn disagreed with this statement. “If a prosecutor’s office is doing their job, they should already be doing everything in this amendment,” he said. “If they aren't, you do have recourse — you boot the commonwealth attorney out of office in the next election.”Mr. Rosenbluth also proposes refusing bail before the trail of any person arrested for violent crimes. While some panelists agreed with Mr. Rosenbluth’s premise and intentions, they opposed the overall concept because in the United States an arrest does not mean guilt — people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law .

Spurred by the hotly contested race for county sheriff, Sperryville led the county when 84 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. Chester Gap trailed the rest of the county with 70 percent voting. The high 1995 turnout compares favorably with 1991 when 70 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. That election also featured a race for sheriff, contests for state senate and an election to replace French Slaughter in the U.S. House of Representatives won by George Allen. A high point in voting occurred the following year when 88 percent of county voters cast ballots in the 1992 Presidential election. With a true contest for sheriff, only one write-in ballot for Jesse Reynolds was cast, but the other contests for constitutional officers with no ballot opposition attracted several. For commonwealth’s attorney Doug Baumgardner got one vote, as did Frank Reynolds, John Holmes and Robert Shapiro. Dave Konick got four write-in votes: Linda Lovelace and Shylock each got one write-in vote for treasurer. Pat Davis, Dr. Doo Little, and Della Street each got one write-in vote for commissioner of the revenue. Lavonne Lee got two votes and Mollie Welch got four. In board of supervisor contests, Jackson and Wakefield districts, where there was ballot opposition, did not attract write-in votes, but the three supervisors with no challengers did. In Hampton District B. Lee Bird, S. Bryant Lee and Newbill Miller had one vote each, and Hodge Miller had two. In Piedmont District, Santa Claus, Goofy, Carson B. Johnson, Tommy Bruce and Kevin Weisgerber each had one vote. Gray Armistead, Alson Atkins and Randolph Clater had two each. In Stonewall-Hawthorn District Hiram Delpouper, Donald Duck, Phillip Terrell, H.B. Wood Jr. and John Henry Woodward had one vote each. Frank Warner had four. The school board election produced only two write-in votes: Beverly Massie in Jackson District and Nelson P. Lane in Stonewall-Hawthom District. Rappahannock News Stall Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Raynor and Lois Snead look over The Girl of Independence at their home. Lois Snead Has Her Say Rayner Snead has a new book out. The Girl of Independence is the story of his wife Lois’s childhood and early adulthood. Lois Doran grew up in Independence, Missouri, the home also of Harry Truman and a major jumping off point for the Santa Fe, California and Oregon trails. Judge Snead said the success of his autobiographical work Hollow Bov made him urge Mrs. Snead to also tell her story. She insisted, however, that she does not enjoy writing, finds it tedious in fact, and said if he wanted it written, he should write it himself. So he did, but from her point of view, as a first person narrative. The story ranges from her earliest memories as a small child through her college years to their marriage and the couple’s separations during World War 11. It ends with Judge Snead's return to Rappahannock to establish a law practice with Mrs. Snead as his secretary. She said she had frequently told stories of her childhood over the years, but he never paid much attention, particularly dismissing the history of Independence compared to Virginia's history. This time he paid attention, writing down in See Book, Page A-3

Eric Nordstein-Snir, 73/55, dis Group Helps Pregnant Teens By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Friends 2 Mom is a fairly new program in the county for helping pregnant teen-aged girls who have decided to continue their pregnancies. The program got its start when April Heddleston heard through a church meeting about how such a program was working in other areas and got together with some of her friends from various Christian denominations to see if such a program could work in Rappahannock County. The group spent nine jo 10 months developing guidelines and decided to concentrate on three major areas. The first is a maternity and baby closet located in the basement of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. There are maternity clothes, baby clothes for children up to three and furniture such as cribs and car seats. The second thrust of the program is free childbirth education available at the girl’s convenience taught byDiane Wood. This ideally starts with a meeting early in the pregnancy to talk about good health habits during pregnancy and later classes to prepare the girl for he birth. The third major facet of the Friends 2 Mom program is a one-onone mentoring program with members of the group who are themselves mothers. Mrs. Heddleston said the group has worked at least some with six or seven girls. Mrs. Wood said only one has gone fully through the childbirth classes.' The group sometimes has an excess of provisions, such as baby formula that is about to expire, and in that case they share with the SAFE house in Culpeper or crisis pregnancy programs in other areas. Mrs. Heddleston said at the first meeting the girl receives a special Bible and other Christian literature to provide support. From that point on the program is geared to what the pregnant teen needs. Mrs. Heddleston said the group is prepared to help a girl if she should choose to have her baby adopted, but Rappahannock girls invariably choose to keep their babies. She said most of the girls receive support from their own mothers who usually take care of the baby once it is bom so the mother can finish school.

Society is pointing fingers at unmarried pregnant girls, and Mrs. Wood feels it is important to let the girls know that they will have support for the “very courageous decision" they have made to continue the pregnancy. She said not all girls, want to go through with natural labor, but the techniques she teaches can help in labor even if medications are used. The program is fairly new. but Mrs. Wood hopes the one-on-one mentoring program will continue. Some girls cope well with the pregnancv and having a small baby, but as the baby becomes a toddler the advice and friendship of someone who has gone the same experience can be very important, she said. Mrs. Heddleston said the group is hoping to expend the program to include pregnancy prevention working with various churches on an abstinence-based sex education program such as the Baptist program “True Love Waits.” missed.

Amissville Resident Makes Wooden Toys By LAURA RUBY Time* Newipiptn Staff Writer John Pearre has been making children happy for 17 years. A retired accountant, Mr. Pearre creates hundreds of wooden toys for children along the East Coast, offering parents the option of buying Christmas gift not available at Toys Us. From rocking horses and clothes trees to trains, banks and cars, Mr. Pearre’s art keeps him busy year round. ; The Amissville resident spends rtiuch of his time in the workshop at his home, designing, altering and creating new toys. 70 m For example, Mr. Pearre can create 150 rocking horses in about a month’s time working six to eight hours a day. When his big sales push begins in September, Mr. Pearre hits the road traveling up and down the East Coast to the largest craft shows around. It is through these shows that he is able to reap the rewards of the miscellaneous splinters and other dangers of wood work. Although he wrapped up this year’s showing season last week, Mr. Pearre is working on special orders and will see clients by pre-arrangement at his home. Mr. Pearre began his woodworking career at the age of 12. He still has the half-finished yard people, including rabbits and boys and girls, he created as a child. Those early versions were very “crude,” Mr. Pearre said, noting that after those initial attempts he did not work with wood for another 12 or 15 years. He was drawn back to the avocation several years ago during his 30year career as a Navy accountant. After retiring nearly three years ago, Mr. Pearre has been able to devote more time to the hobby. Although he has considered moving away from toys to another spe wmi Times Newspapers Staff Photo by Heather Hall John Pearre’s charming old-fashioned wooden toys operate on child power.

Day REALTOR HOME INSPECTION . ; Whether you are buying a condo, an existing home or a newly constructed home, you should consider having a professional home inspection. These do cost money, but they are worth every cent. Do not feel embarrassed, assuming that you will hurt the seller's feelings by having the home professionally inspected. This procedure is very commonplace today. A qualified home inspector (look for membership in the American Society of Home Inspectors) will crawl all over the place. They know about major systems and can spot problems (if there are any) that you can't see. A home inspector can find things that could be expensive problems later.

Her father was forever starting new hobbies and abandoning them, but while he was in his initial fervor he wanted his children, Lois and her younger brother Neal, to work with him. Lois was the frequent victim of his whippings while Neal largely escaped, even when he was equally or more culpable. “I understand my father better,” Mrs. Snead reflected. “It irritated him that I was so defiant.” “You still are,” Judge Snead commented, but they both credit her father with inspiring her interest in hobbies and things artistic. The story tells of her two grandmothers, Grandmother Doran who dressed her up like a little doll and tried to make a complete lady of her. And her Grandmother Bledsoe, who introduced her to farm life and helped keep her feet on the ground. Another major influence was an early adolescence spent trying to overcome problems caused by curvature of the spine, a summer spent on her back in a frame that did no good and the operations that followed fusing some of her vertebra and leaving her in a full body cast for months. From that experience she learned to entertain herself, to be independent. The Girl of Independence by Lois Doran Snead as told to Rayner V. Snead is available for $15 from Cabin Fever Books on Gay Street.

Onion Rings As cialty, Mr. Pearre says that it is the toys that set him apart from other woodworkers. At any given show, he said, there are a number of vendors offering tables, onion bins and other wood furriiture. Mr. Pearre is usually the sole vendor of wooden toys. That fact, combined with the quality of his craftsmanship and his prices, make craft shows a success for Mr. Pearre. By using yellow pine, an attractive but relatively inexpensive wood, he is able to keep costs reasonable. A rocking horseruns about $30 while the 36-inch train sells for $35. Smaller trains go for $20. Mr. Pearre’s creations all run strictly by “push power.’* Selling some pieces sealed and others unfinished, Mr. Pearre reduces costs — and hassles — further byleaving some toys for parents to paint and otherwise finish as they desire. Adapting designs from catalogs and books, Mr. Pearre keeps customers coming back by designing a new item each year. This year, the new item is a rocking airplane. Constructed as a replica of a bi-plane, the toy has sold well this year and Mr. Pearre says he’ll increase production of the item next year. He uses power tools, including a band saw, table saws and sanders in his projects. Mr. Pearre and his wife, Frances, moved to Rappahannock County from Mount Vernon three years ago. Eager to become part of the community, Mr. Pearre joined the Amissville Rescue Squad and last year received certification as an emergency medical technician. The couple has five children and four grandchildren. Mr. Pearre can be reached at 937-2109.

That was fairly obvious to people in Rappahannock from the date of the announcement by Del. Jay Katzen in the last weeks of the campaign that he had 30 of the state’s surplus computers available for distribution to schools in the 31 st House of Delegates district and that Rappahannock County Elementary School would be getting 10 of them. In fact over 300 computers went to areas like the 31st District where incumbent Republicans were facing strong challenges from Democrats. It is not likely that these computers were responsible for Del. Katzen’s reelection. However, it is likely that if the state’s Department of Education had had time to develop criteria for the distribution of the computers, RCES, with one of the state’s lowest ratios of students to computers, would have received none. Since most of the political shenanegans in Richmond go on at Rappahannock County’s expense, the county and the schools are happy to come out on the winning end for a change. These computers are hardly state-of-the-art. However, elementary school students do not need the latest and fastest computers. A more serious problem is that they arrived stripped of all software, including disc operating software. In fact, RCES is generally computer rich and software poor, and at the last School Board meeting Principal Raye Tupper received permission to send out a fundraising letter. This past year marked the end of a grant from the RJ R/Nabisco Company to RCES to purchase computers and develop software to use on them. From that grant the school acquired about 100 computers. Software development proved more difficult. The idea was to develop software to cover most of the fourthgrade curriculum. At the end of three years, programs had been written covering most of fourth-grade mathematics, but little progress had been made on the rest of the curriculum. What the school systen chiefly learned from this experience was how time consuming devel oping good educational software is. Purchasing it is expensive, but in the absense of another grant to pay software developers, it seems the best option for making the computers useful to Rappahannock’s students. Alumni Tournament The Alumni Basketball Tournament has become much more of a homecoming than Homecoming itself for former RCHS students. Since it takes place over the Thanksgiving holiday, it can attract former boys’ basketball stars who are currently in college as well as those in the working world. There was plenty of fun basketball at the gym Friday and Saturday nights. The athletic department, which has to pay referees for all home athletic competitions benefits from the tournament. Some years back there was an effort to also have a women’s alum ni basketball tournament. Not enough players were interested to make a success of this. Perhaps the time has come to try' again. The women’s game, with two teams participating, could be played between the consolation and final game in the second evening of the tournament. *V|ey £cM:HC'mon?oy...

Your effort is truly appreciated and espected. I hope all people will support their local fire and rescue squads. What a great service to have when vou least expect it. ELAINE, PETER and CASE KRAMER Washington Hoe-Down Help Appreciated To the Editor: The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community gratefully acknowledges the support of the Rappahannock News and everyone else who helped make the Apple Harvest Hoe Down such a success. It was truly a community effort which resulted in a fun and educational evening for all ages. Sid and Margaret Gottlieb, two of the most dedicated volunteers we have ever met, welcomed Slim Harrison as a guest in their home during his two-day music and dance workshop at Rappahannock Elementary School. Funds generated during the post-workshop hoe-down helped RAAC and the school cover the cost of the workshops. I.inda Tarry, Joan Herrema, Rick Kohler, and Katherine Treanor created an autumn paradise using hay bales, com stalks, and every thing else they could find. Mountain Green Farm donated several crates of apples which were used for decorating and then given away to guests after the event. Kids were fascinated by fast-talking auctioneer Bill Payne as he hawked the wonderful home-made desserts contributed by the McCarthy family, Margaret Gottlieb, Eller Manson, Heidi Eastham and others The Barn at the Pogues, a new catering service in Amissville, generously donated a gorgeous chocolate hazelnut prize for the cake walk. Members of the RCES PTO helped out by sell ing refreshments. Rosa Crocker kept everything organized and on schedule as our liaison with the school curriculum committee. She and principal Raye Tupper made it a pleasure to work with the school, and we hope to cosponsor another event for young people this spring. Finally, it warmed our hearts tc watch the many fathers, mothers and grandparents who came out to spend time with their children. Everyone who lent a hand can join us in feeling proud to be actively involved in this rare community where events like this are possible SAL.LIK MORGAN and PAGE ANNE SMITH for RAAC I'm Lost To the Editor: Being unable to speak for myself, I have chosen this way to communicate to you. I am a long hairedHimalayan cat. I am 8 months old, very friendly and very loving; also very confused. You see my home is in Chester Gap and it is a wonderful home. My family is very loving and they have always taken wonderful care of me. And I know they miss me just as much as I miss them. On the day of election, which would have been Nov. 7, I went out for a walk and no doubt got a little further away then I planned and became confused because now when I look around nothing seems to be familiar to me. I was a gift to my mom from a dear friend from Germany, and I know she (mom) misses me because 1 was always told how sweet I was and what a great little guy I am, you know, all that stuff that sounds really mushy but sure makes you feel good. Well, in order to protect me my mom went out and bought me a bright purple collar and a green identification tag with my phone number on it. And if you look at my face you will see that I have one tooth that juts out from the rest of my teeth. My mom said that that was my own personal identification mark (you know how moms are). I want so badly to be reunited with my family again, but I’m afraid I need your help. So, if you have found me could you please call mom and tell her that I’m coming home. I just know it will make her as happy as it will make me. Our phone number is 635-1545; she is listening every day for the phone to ring. BOOGIE Formerly of Chester Gap Wrestle! To the Editor: Last Monday afternoon, 25 local youth met in the Rappahannock County Elementary School gym to initiate an exciting sport that’s new to our community — wrestling. It was a promising first day of practice! We would be remiss if we did not take time to thank those who have supported us financially in his endeavor: The Robert M. Darby Foundation, The Rappahannock Lions Club, The Rappahannock Athletic Boosters, Bob and Trish Darby, Laurel Mills Store, Frances Thornton and Mountainside Market. We also greatly appreciate the encouragement and enthusiastic support of the Rappahannock County School Board as well as the following administrators, several of whom had to meet with us repeatedly to iron out the details: Dr. David Gangel, Jack Raines, Dr. David Smith, Richard Smith, Mike and Raye Tupper. At the high school, administrative secretary Kelly Settle has helped us to manage incoming contributions and disbursements. Finally, we thank the Rappahannock News editor Sharon Kilpatrick for keeping in touch with us and photojournalist Cindy Mahan, for the fine article last week which formally introduced the wrestling program. We are excited about this “winter” sport and want readers to know there is room for more wrestlers — especially in grades 7-9 — as we work to build a junior varsity team at the high school next year. Again, many thanks! JON HEDDLESTON Sperryville and PAUL PARATORE Amissville A Great Evening To the Hditor: What a great evening! Parents and children had a great time together, dancing, clapping and singing at the elementary school on Nov. 10. The event was sponsored by three area non profit groups: RAAC, which organized Friday night’s event, the PTO which arranged for refreshments and the Curriculum Enrichment Programs. Thanks to this last group, the elementary school administration, and RAAC which helped pay for half of the classroom workshops, Slim Harrison spent two days at the Elementary School teaching and entertaining the students in the musical heritage of our Rappahannock community. f f The RCES PTO would especially like to thank Bryant Lee at Lee’s Orchards and Clifford Miller. Ill at Mt. Vernon Cidery for their donations of cider, and all the bakers who contributed delicious desserts for the event. The beautiful, mouth-watering pies sold at auction by Bill Paynt|, who contributed his time, aided twb of these area non profits. ; This was truly a community event.

Green Team Takes Tournev By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* StafT Writer The jade green team won the RCHS Alumni Basketball r Tournament Saturday night 75 to 62. Playing were Coach Tommy Jenkins, Mike Atkins, Arathon Aylor, Marley Hay, Paul Hitt, Bobby Jenkins, Richard Tribino and on Friday night Gary and Mike Leake. This outcome did not seem likely as the team took the floor against the fuchsia team. The green team had only one player on the bench; another was added shortly after the game got underway. Meanwhile, the fuchsia team, consisting largely of at least two generations of the Settle clan plus Derek Daczewitz, Danny Ellis, Walter Frye, Steve Leake, Richie l-illard and Johnnie Smith, had seven players on the bench. Paul Hitt from the green team won the Most Valuable Player trophy given in memory of Shawn Anthony Jordan. He scored 35 points in the final game. Tommy Jenkins added 24. For thfe fuchsia team, Jason Settle, scored 21 points and Bobby Settle 16. These two teams has advanced to the finals when the jade green team defeated the royal blue team Friday / night 70 to 56. In Friday’s other game the fuchsia team defeated the purple team 80 to 76. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Former Panthers competed over the weekend.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1995 Kneading Is Key to Successful Bread Making By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer There is nothing so satisfying as making something from nothing. Making yeast bread is like performing a magic act. Only three ingredients are required to make bread — flour, water, and yeast — though usually salt is added. These are the only ingredients in French bread, which is, 1 believe, the best bread in the world. It is so versatile, and can be made into many different shapes, from mini-baguettes (the long skinny loaves), to batards (fatter, long loaves), to huge round loaves. The French will even form the bread into fougasse, which is a free form bread with many holes in it, sort of a lattice design. The French take their bread making very seriously. To this day, every village and town has its own boulangerie (bakery), and every baker has his or her specialties. Who can dispute that one of the most satisfying meals in the world is a loaf of bread, a hunk of cheese, some fresh fruit and a bottle of wine? The first bread I learned to make, 20 years ago, was the classic French bread. 1 used the recipe out of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The recipe is several pages long and has drawings to guide the baker through it. Making that French bread taught me many of the basic principles of bread making that I use when making all kinds of bread today. Patience is the most important thing to learn when making yeast bread. Probably every baker has stories of the “bricks” they made while learning to make bread, because they didn’t allow the dough to rise long enough between risings or before baking. Just as important as patience is kneading the dough properly and long enough. I learned kneading from my grandmother when 1 was 10 years old. When she made bread, she would knead for a while, then I would do it for a while, and we would go back and forth until the dough was kneaded enough. The kneading is done when the dough becomes smooth and elastic (you’ll know it when you see it). It will be lively, and some doughs are livelier than others, such as pizza dough. Kneading can take anywhere from a few minutes to 10 minutes or longer, however long it takes to get it right. Don’t be discouraged about the kneading. Think of it as good exercise for your arms. Once you’ve done it a lot, it becomes easier and takes less and less time to get that smooth and elastic dough. And, when that first loaf of bread comes out of the oven with its wonderful aroma and taste, you will know it was worth the time put into it. In the winter, I put bread to rise near the woodstove, maybe a couple of feet away. If the house is warm, the dough may be put anywhere to rise, but pick the warmest spot. It can also raise in the oven, by placing it there after preheating the oven to warm and then turning the oven off before plac ing the dough inside. Fresh yeast is vital, as old yeast has lost its punch and will not make the dough rise. The best place to buy dry yeast is at Mountainside Market in Sperryville. They sell it in bulk, and I recently bought an 8 oz. bag of yeast for $1.59. It keeps best in a jar in the refrigerator. When a recipe calls for one packet of yeast, use one tablespoon of the bulk yeast. Recipes usually call for the yeast to be “proofed” in a certain amount of tepid water, which is 110 degrees, pretty hot. If the yeast does not bubble in the water within ten minutes, then it is not any good. But I find that keeping the yeast in the refrigerator keeps it fresh for at least six months. When using white flour for baking, bread flour will produce a crustier bread. I usually throw in a couple of tablespoons of wheat germ too for extra nutrition. Before placing the loaves on a baking sheet for the last rising, sprinkle the sheet with commeal instead of spreading the sheet with butter or oil (this is one of those tips from Mastering the Art of French Cooking which I use for every loaf of bread I make). Cover the loaves with a kitchen towel which has had flour rubbed into it so it will not stick to the bread. Some of my favorite bread books, which are not only filled with great recipes but explain the art of bread making, are Breads, from the TimeLife Series of The Good Cook, Techniques and Recipes; The Complete Book of Breads by Bernard Clayton, Jr.; The Italian Baker by Carol Field; The Breads of France by Bernard Clayton, Jr.; and Laurel's Bread Book. Some of these books are Rappahannock, News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Egg white mixed with water was brushed on the braided loaf and poppy seeds were sprinkled on top. It and the round loaf were both made using the Basic Bread recipe.

Following are a few of my favorite recipes. The first one is an easy basic dough which can be formed into many shapes, such as a round or braided loaf. Basic Bread Makes 2 loaves One tbsp. yeast 2 cups tepid water 5 to 6 cups unbleached or bread 2 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. wheat germ (optional) Pour 1/2 cup of the tepid water into a Very large bowl and sprinkle water and sprinkle in the salt. Begin adding the Hour, one cup at a tin)e, stirring well after each addition. (?nce the dough is holding together, scoop out of the bowl onto a floured surface for kneading. Add as little flour as needed while kneading, just to keep the dough from being too sticky. When the dough is smooth and elastic, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel and set to rise until doubled in size. (This may take a couple of hours, depending on how warm the area is where it is rising.) Once dough has doubled, punch down, turn out onto the kneading surface and knead for one minute. Return to bowl, cover and let rise until doubled again. Once again, punch down dough, cut in half, and form each piece into a loaf in the shape of your choice. Place the loaves on a large baking sheet, sprinkled with cornmeal, to rise for the third and final time. Cover with a floured towel. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bottom on the bread sounds hollow when thumped. Black Pepper and Sharp Cheddar Bread 1 cup milk, scalded 3 tbsp. sugar 2 tsp. salt flour the yeast over it. Mix with (a whisk and let sit for 10 minutes (t'he yeas) will bubble). Add the remaining tepic 2 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper 2 tbsp. yeast 4 1/2 to 5 cups flour 1 cup tepid water 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese Add to the scalded milk the sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool. Pour the water into a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let stand five minutes or until bubbly. Add to it the milk mixture and the cheese. Stir well. Add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When enough flour has been added so that the dough is not too sticky, scoop out onto the kneading surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a floured towel. Set aside to rise until doubled. Punch down dough, knead for a minute and cut in half. Form each half ynto a loaf and place in a buttered loaf pan. Let rise until about double. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until done. Quick and Easy Pizza Dough 1 1/4 cups tepid water 2 tbsp. yeast 1 tsp. sugar 3 1/2 cups flour (a mix of 2 1/2 cups white and 1 cup whole wheat is good) 1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. olive oil Pour the water and sugar into a large bowl and sprinkle yeast over it. Let sit until bubbly, and add the oil and salt. Stir well. Add the flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms. Turn out onto the kneading surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a floured towel and let rise until doubled. (This is a very lively dough and rises quickly.) Punch down dough, and immediately spread out on a round or rectangular pizza pan that has been sprinkled first with commeal. Add pizza ingredients to top, beginning with the tomato sauce, toppings, and ending with the cheese. Bake at 500 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. u Photo by M Hauptschein Scott Reiss will be playing recorders during Saturday’s Smithsonian Christmas Concert at The Theatre.
