Coming up Thursday on Central Vermont Community Radio: Ukrainian bread spreads through central Vermont, and a look at local libraries before the budget votes at town meeting.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Rise Up Bakery in Barre is a wood-fired, educational and commercial bakery producing breads based on Ukrainian recipes and their own recipes. The bread dough is cold fermented 20-40 hours before going into the wood-fired oven. After a 70-plus-year hiatus from use as a bakery, the building was renovated by community volunteers and turned back into a working bakery. We'll talk to Carolyn Shapiro, who led the restoration effort, and Jim Haas, half of the husband-wife team in Ukraine who were recruited to run the revived bakery, about the challenges and rewards of using old methods and technologies in modern times, why they ferment their bread dough so long, and more. Plus we'll hear a perspective on the Russian war on Ukraine from people who are in daily contact with friends and family in Ukraine.

Did you know you can go to a library and check out a device to measure the moisture content in your firewood or a pass to Vermont state parks? To give us an idea of the range of services local libraries provide, how they are funded, and what is happening at one particular small-town library, librarian Angela Ogle of the Cutler Memorial Library in Plainfield will be our guest.
