P 'PAY, OPPTSMDER Mb1985 Stan Blyth correspondent Kathy Bromley has been baking bread and buns for over 10 years. She admits that when she started, she was far from the fine baker she is now.

The mother of two not only .finds time to take care of her family' while participating in a wide number of clubs, but she bakes a variety of buns and bread, and has added a new occupation to her list Kathy is the Newest News -Record correspondent, reporting on the people and the latest happenings in the Village of Blyth. $he is well qualified for the job because she is a community minded person and is interested in informing her neighbors, and other local communities, of the activities taking place in Blyth. The list of organizations which Kathy belongs to shows her many interests. She is the flag bearer for the Blyth Ladies Legion Auxiliary, as well as the correspondent, she is a member of•the Horticultural Society and sells merchandise for Regal products. Because her husband, Bev, is a fireman, Kathy is always ready' to answer the fire phone located in her kitchen. The phone is one of only five in the village. Kahty previously worked at the Queens Villa Senior Citizens' Horne and says the contacts she made while working there will be beneficial. She welcomes any calls from people with news they feel will interest their community. buns off” "Working my For many years Kathy has . occupied a great deal of her time baking, or as she says, '"working my buns off." She became interested in baking through her brother, Ken Doherty, while he was working at Eedy's Bake Shop in Dungannon. With his help, and plenty of experimenting, Kathy .ha}S developed her making• talents into a prosperous business. . ""I started baking for my husband when we first got • married. We eould have sold what I baked as door stops," she laughed. "But I kept at it and through practice, I found new ways of improving." -With a number of repeat customers, it is BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Rev.

However, no one who is just starting gets customer knocking on their door. Kathy had to earn her reputation. "I started selling them, (baked goods) with a girlfriend. My husband makes maple syrup which we sold at flea markets so we took the buns there," she said. While Kathy was selling her goods at the flea markets, her slogan liras "Kathy Kneads the Dough. Along with serving regular customers, Kathy also takes orders for weddings and helps with catering. For a wedding, she would make approximately 40 dozen buns. She estimates it takes her six hours to do one batch. "From the start to packaging takes six hours. That includes cleaning up as well," she said, "It's not profitable, but I enjoy it. When I have a bad day I just take it out on the dough." Kathy finds that her busiest time of the year is at Christmas, but she has developed a system that makes her job a little less strenuous. "Two years ago I had to make 64 dozen buns the day before Christmas. Now I prepare the buns before, give them to the customer when they are fresh, and recommend they put the buns in the freezer. That way they freeze the buns when they are fresh and they'll come out fresh." This year she catered to a baseball tournament and many compliments about the food. One letter she received stated, "1 gm guess the mere selling Of nearly 525 kaisers NNIF speaks for itself." And Kathy's family appreciates her baking talents. "My husband will take six kaisers for his lunch, and the kids enjoy them, but I get my fill of them while baking." An appreciated convenience in the village is the flour mill. There she can buy 80 pound bags of flour, and Kathy notes, "Around Christmas I go through a bag in two days." Kathy enjoys her work and has some witty answers when questioned about it. "When someone asks me how 1 get the bread so big I tell them that it's the yeast of my worries. If anyone asks, 'how are things going?' r say business is on the rise." But her friends also have a sense of humor, introducing her to others as "the lady with the best buns in town."
