MONDAY, JULY 5, 1971 Bill Beeney 2,000 Dedicate Bridge, Plaza, Park "TVv JM1.iUJjiMWjJWW II De Prez Rochester 5 'isaai Second Film i i. Festival 111 i CSS isssi rrr" A second Rochester International Film Festival is a good prospect for next spring, Gene De Prez, director of communications for the Rochester Mu With all the problems we're having with bridges in Rochester it probably was appropriate to shoot off fireworks last night to celebrate the opening of a new bridge. It won't help ease the automobile traffic, however. This was the pedestrian bridge over the 'Genesee River, in the Crossroads Plaza, between the Flagship and the Holiday hotels.

And the celebration really encompassed much more than the bridge: It marked the dedication of the entire $2.5 million plaza and its Riverside Park, an attractive addition to the downtown scene, yet one which has gone virtually unnoticed because it is barely visible from Main Street. IT WAS HARD TO IMAGINE THAT NEARLY 2.000 people would come ont on a Sunday night, on the Fourth of July, to see a ribbon-cutting at a bridge. But never underestimate the power of fireworks, a band concert, and 5-cent hot dogs, hamburgers, tacos, soda pop and beer. That would hardly pay the new "hot dog" tax, but they had it going for them because the Flagship people footed the bill. It was such a gorgeous night, even a handkerchief-folding contest would have drawn a crowd.

As Mrs. Mildred Untress put it: "It's the most lovely park I've ever seen, and I'm just glad I'm here for the opening." Those sentiments were echoed, in essence, by everyone from Mayor Steve May and Rep. Barber Conable to architect Frank Schlesinger, Councilman Charles Crimi and County Legislature President Joe Ferrari. William F. Wilmot and James P.

Wil-mot of Wilmorite, contractors of the project, jointly with Walter A. Stanley Co. of Ossining, participated in the ceremonies. There is considerable landscaping in the park. Urban renewal director Robert Spellman estimated that the yearly maintenance of the plaza will come to something like it will be put out for bids soon.

For Mrs. Gene Fisher of Canandaigua, today's What's Cooking winner, breadmaking is not a lost art. She's seldom' heard remininscing about her mother's homemade bread, for she bakes her own frequently. The recipe she follows was originally her mother's, but she's reduced the quantities called for. "My father, Franklin Gray, was co-owner of the Pathfinder Boy's Camp and for 28 years my mother was the camp dietitian.

The recipe in its original form fed more than 70 boys!" Mrs. Fisher has modified her breadmaking in one other aspect. "Many older recipes direct that the bread dough be placed in a warm, dark cupboard during the rising perios. But if the day is bright and sunny, I like to set the bowl out in the sunlight. Eighty-five degrees is an ideal temperature for dough to rise," says Mrs.

Fisher. "This gives me a further opportunity to pursue my favorite pasttime," she said. "I love to paint. It's my ambition to become a protrait painter." This desire took shape a couple of years ago when she started lessons with Mrs. Martha Collins in china painting.

She also studied stenciling and country tin with Mrs. Homer Harvey and now has returned to Martha Collins for landscape and still life painting. She hopes to tackle portraits soon. "Whenever time permits, I paint. If it's a bright sunshiny day, whether bread-baking or whatever, I take my easel and oils outdoors and take every opportunity to work at my along when he travels on private planes.

Kneading should be vigorous, pushing down hard with the heels of the hands, turning, lifting, folding and pushing down over and over again. Return dougii to pan and set in a warm place to rise till double in bulk. Re-knead the dough half -fill three well greased large loaf pans. Set pans in a warm place until dough has risen to twice its bulk again. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove loaves from pans and place on wire trays to cool. Butter tops if soft crust is preferred. The following recipe is an ideal breakfast bread.

And the quietude, the silence of concentration.

Thirty-six players have entered the 6-round New York State Open chess tournament which ends today at the YMCA. Sponsored by the Rochester Chess Club, it offers a first prize of $150 given to commence play. And slowly, in five, and 15, and 50 moves, the games end. The marker scores points and the players leave, still silent, wondering already about the next game. The NYS Open first paired the best players with the worst.

Many entrants, like Robert Eberlein, 1350 Highland Avenue, and Erich W. Marchand, 192 Seville a Kodak physicist who is one of the mainstays of the Rochester chess community, are rated by the American Chess Federation. For many years a "master" at chess, Marchand says a good player must have objectivity, precision, accuracy, gamesmanship, courage, profound thought and physical stamina. Those in their first tournament are experiencing stiff competition. Norman Hill of Began, New York and his 17-year-old son Nelson, dropped their first four games.
