SPRINGFORWARDDaylight Saving Time startsat 2 a.m. Sunday. Turn yourclock ahead one hour.

Students rejoiced as sever-al inches of snow changedNorthern Kentucky’s land-scape, causing schools to closefor up to a full week.

So what happens now?According to the Kentucky

Department of Education ateducation.ky.gov , studentsmust be in school a minimumof 1,062 hours, which equals177 six-hour days.

“In some school districts,the regular school day in-cludes more than six instruc-tional hours, and those dis-tricts choose to use the extratime they have ‘banked’ to off-set hours missed due to in-clement weather. Other dis-tricts have ‘make-up’ daysbuilt into their school calen-dars in case they are needed,”according to the site. “Once adistrict has missed 20 days, itmay request a districtwide di-saster day from the Commis-sioner of Education.”

Another option for schoolsthat have missed 20 or moredays is a pilot program thatgives schools an online optionto make up missed days.

During the 2014-2015 schoolyear, Kentucky districts thatmissed 20 or more days wereeligible to apply for waivers

that allow the “use of virtual orother non-traditional means ofinstruction when school is can-celed because of weather oranother emergency. In mostcases, students will partici-pate in the snow day lessonsonline,” according to an Oct.10, 2014, media release.

To receive a waiver, dis-tricts that missed 20 or moredays submitted applicationsthat described their plans forlearning while school was notin session. In the spring, thesame districts will submit doc-umentation of their participa-tion and measurements of stu-dent learning for the misseddays.

Thirteen districts receivedthe waiver.

Only one Northern Ken-tucky district, Grant County ispermitted to use virtual in-struction. Others in the stateare Boyle, Grant, Jessamine,Johnson, Lawrence, Leslie,Owsley, Pike, Taylor, Todd,Washington and Wolfe coun-ties, and Corbin IndependentSchools.

INDEPENDENCE — Most 8-year-olds are preoccupied withtelevision shows and videogames.

Parker Willman of Independ-ence has a different matter onhis mind – the well-being of shel-ter animals.

“I want them to feel lovedand happy,” he said.

Parker set his goal to helpshelter animals when he was

just 6 years old. He and his fam-ily were attending a pet fairwhen someone suggested hisolder brother volunteer at an an-imal shelter. Parker said that hewanted to do it too, but was toldhe was too young. Volunteershave to be at least 14 years old.

“I kept thinking about it andthought there’s got to be some-thing I could do to help the ani-mals, so I started Parker’s PetProject,” he said.

He decided to ask friends andfamily for donations that he

could take to the Kenton CountyAnimal Shelter in Fort Mitchell.His mother, Crissy Willman,created a Facebook page, “Park-er’s Pet Project” that they couldshare with close friends andfamily to let them know aboutParker’s idea.

One morning, Crissy heard alocal radio show was featuringkids who were making a differ-ence. She contacted the showand told them all about Parker.

BRIEFLY

FORT MITCHELL —Kathleen McCloreyHolthaus hasn’t forgottenabout her father’s contri-bution to the NorthernKentucky community.

In fact, it’s impossible,as so much of his workmakes up the region’slandscape, said Holthaus,84, of Fort Mitchell.

Her father, HowardMcClorey, was an archi-tect, one of the mostprominent in the areathroughout the 1930s. Hedesigned a number ofchurches, includingBlessed SacramentChurch in Fort Mitchell,and buildings throughoutNorthern Kentucky, suchas the original portions of

the Beechwood Schoolbuilding and the FortMitchell City building.Dixie Heights and SimonKenton high schools, VillaMadonna Academy, St.Ann Convent, St. Thomasin Fort Thomas and St.Stephens in Fort Mitchellalso have his signature onthem.

Recently, the Commu-nity Recorder sat downwith Holthaus to discussher father’s achieve-ments.

Q: Where did your fa-ther go to school?

A: He only went to thesixth grade of school. Lat-er, he studied with an ar-chitect and got his license.When I look at (BlessedSacrament) and some ofhis other designs I oftenwonder how a person who

only went to sixth gradecould do that.

Q: What’s it like see-

ing the buildings yourfather designed?

A: It’s amazing. I think

of all the people who arestill using these buildingstoday. You don’t realizethe impact of that whenyou’re young. Now thatI’m older, it sinks in. It’sjust amazing.

Q: What do you re-member the most aboutyour father?

A: We always had adrafting table in our din-ing room and he was al-ways at it working. Hewas strict; then againyears ago that’s how fa-thers were. But I remem-ber him coming home andus kids would search hispockets for candy. He alsoplayed cards with us a lot.Oh, and every time he’dpass a Catholic church,he’d tip his hat.

He didn’t believe innew cars and all that. He

believed that educationshould come first for uschildren.

He died when he was73. I miss him, just beingaround him.

Q: How did your fa-ther feel about hiswork?

A: He enjoyed it. Hehad an office downtownbut even when he washome, he thought of work.He was always at thatdrafting table in our din-ing room.

Q: What’s your favor-ite building he de-signed?

A: Blessed SacramentChurch. We were mem-bers there. I was evenbaptized there.

“I was very blessed be-cause my school was cho-sen as a national modelschool, and the principalwas chosen as principal ofthe year for the nation,”he recalled. “So I began ina very professionalschool.”

The proud Navy veter-an has been with St. Ceci-lia School since 2007. Hewill be presented with theaward at a banquet April 7in Orlando, Florida.

“It’s very humbling,”he said. “I know there arewonderful, great priestsout there that do suchgood work with their par-ishes and schools.”

It’s the first time apriest from the Diocese ofCovington will receivethis award.

“I feel so very honoredthat the people at my par-ish think so much of me,”Father Mario said.

Parker began holdingcollection events and do-nations, like food andtoys, poured in.

“The Kenton CountyAnimal Shelter and itsdirector Dan Evans be-gan to take notice,” Cris-sy said. “They weremoved by Parker and hisvision, and because ofParker they changedtheir volunteer policy toallow children as youngas 6 while being accom-

“I like doing all of thisto so that the animalsfeel comfortable andhave a nice stay whilethey’re at the shelter,”Parker said.

Smaller districts, suchas Beechwood Indepen-dent Schools, operate un-der the same rules.

Beechwood Schoolshas missed three days ofschool this year due toweather.

“Districts are allowedto miss as many days asneeded,” said BeechwoodSuperintendent SteveHutton. “However, thedays need to be made up.We have our makeup daysidentified in our calendar.So far, we will be makingup one day on March 13.The other two days to bemade up will be on May 26and 27.”

The superintendentsaid Beechwood has onemore day identified in thecurrent calendar thatthey can be off for weath-er. After that, they willneed to begin adding moredays to the end of theschool year.

Although Beechwoodwas not eligible for thewaivers to make upmissed missed snow daysonline, Hutton is a fan ofthe idea overall.

“I think the virtual in-struction during snowdays is a great idea.,” Hut-

the week of Feb. 16-20.“So, we have five more

available,” Superinten-dent Glen Miller said.

With eight misseddays, Campbell County’sschool year will will nowend June 3 instead of May21.

If more than five moredays are missed Board ofEducation members maychoose to lower the exist-ing eight missed days tofive days, he said.

Campbell County hasalready “banked” threeinstructional days beyondstate requirements so far,Miller said.

“We typically missonly one or two days inMarch, so we do not antic-ipate using many moremakeup days beyondwhat we have alreadymissed,” Miller said.

Weather has impactedsmaller Campbell Countyschool districts less.Bellevue IndependentSchools have missed fourdays for weather, and FortThomas IndependentSchools have missedthree days.

Fort Thomas will makeup the days at the end ofthe year, which will nowend June 1 instead of May27.

Bellevue will make upa day March 20 and theschool year will now endthree days later May 28instead of May 21, said Su-perintendent Robb Smith.

“We would have to missasubstantial amount mov-ing forward to considerchanging the calendar,”Smith said.

Kenton CountyKenton County stu-

dents will be attending alonger school year thanplanned.

“The Kenton CountySchool District has fivedays built in its schedulefor snow days or calamitydays as they’re known inthe district,” said JessDykes, director of publicrelations and communityengagement. “This win-ter, the district has usedseven calamity days. Theextra two days have beentacked on to the end of theschool year. The year wasoriginally scheduled toend May 27, now schoolwill be in session untilMay 29. Any more days atthis point will have to be

ton said.

Boone CountyIn Boone County,

schools were closed sevendays due to inclementweather. It’s undeter-mined whether the dis-trict will add more days tothe calendar.

“Honestly, it’s a wait-and-see, take it one day ata time, situation for Ken-tucky public schools,”said Barbara Cain-Brady,community relations co-ordinator.

“We don’t ‘bank’ timeor days, but after missinga number of days, we doadd instructional time toeach school day to allowfor extended instruction,”said Mike Ford, BooneCounty’s director of pupilpersonnel. He is alsopresident of the KentuckyDirectors of Pupil Person-nel Association.

Ford said the extendedinstruction days are setuntil the local Board ofEducation amends theschool calendar to meetstate regulations.

Boone County’s unoffi-cial last day of this schoolyear is June 1, but the end-ing date could be changedif additional days aremissed.

MARCH 5, 2015 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • A7NEWS

I had to laugh when Bill Thomasof BBQ Review restaurant in Madi-sonville agreed to share the recipefor his iconic mac & cheese.

I heard Bill was closing his res-taurant (but keeping the railroaddining car adjacent to the proper-ty) so I gave him a call. Already Ihad several requests from readerswho were addicted to his mac &cheese and who asked me to get therecipe.

To give you a bit of history, Billand I started out our culinary ad-ventures about the same time wayback when.

Fast forwardsome 30-plus yearslater and now Billwants “to take iteasy.”

When I told himabout my readerswho can’t exist hap-pily without his mac& cheese, Bill said“I’ll share, no prob-lem, but it startswith 18 pounds mac-

aroni, 20 pounds of cheese, andmakes 120 pounds and no, I won’teven try to break it down!”

OK then. Well I fiddled with itand came up with a good recipehopefully close to Bill’s. I even fol-lowed his technique for cooking themacaroni and the cheese sauce.

I served this to my family, and Inever saw a bowl of mac & cheeseeaten so fast.

I hope you like it as much as wedo.

BBQ Review dishes out addictingmacaroni and cheese recipe

Clone of BBQ Review’s famous mac &cheese

If you want it “cheesier” add more cheese. This is morelike the old fashioned type, with a mild flavor. This recipedoubles or triples easily.

1//2 pound elbow macaroni - 2 cups dry1 stick butter - 4 oz.1/4 cup onion, diced fine 1/4 cup flourSalt and pepper to taste4 oz. regular, not low fat, Velveeta cheese, cubed4-6 oz. shredded cheddar, divided (I used a heaping cup,

probably more like 6 oz.)2 cups milk, warmed

Boil macaroni in salted water, drain, and set aside whilemaking sauce.

Over medium heat, melt butter and stir in onion. Cookuntil onion is translucent but not brown. Add flour, salt andpepper and whisk just until flour is light brown. Stir in milkand whisk until thicker and bubbly.

Remove from heat and stir in Velveeta and a little morethan half the cheddar. Stir in macaroni. The mac & cheese willbe very creamy and thickens as it sits. Sprinkle with rest ofcheddar.

Versatile cheese sauce: Sauce alone is a good all-purposecheese sauce.

Rita’s salt free Italian seasoning

Savory is herb of the year and one that’s underused. Ithas an aromatic peppery flavor, good in bean dishes (Germanscall it the bean herb) since it helps you digest beans. Whenyou’re ready to dry herbs this summer, use this recipe andyou’ll have a marvelous homemade blend.

Mix together:

3 tablespoons dried basil2 tablespoons dried oregano1 tablespoon dried marjoram1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed1 teaspoon dried savory1/2 teaspoon dried sage2 tablespoons dried parsley - optional

Why this blend is good for you:Basil is good for cardiovascular healthOregano and marjoram help keep joints healthy, and

fight colds and fluThyme is especially good for upper respiratory healthRosemary helps keep memories sharpSavory is a good salt substitute and helps dispel gasBoost your wisdom with sageParsley is good for kidney and liver health

Support of hospiceinvaluable duringwintry weather

To our friends in KentonCounty,

Snow, ice, freezing rain andsubzero temperatures were achallenge to much of Kentucky

last week. I was touched by theresponse from Hospice of theBluegrass staff and our com-munity as so many went togreat lengths to ensure home-bound hospice patients con-tinued to receive medical andnursing care despite the severeweather.

A huge thank you needs tobe given to more than can benamed for their extraordinaryefforts. It is heartwarming tosee so many committed to help-ing us achieve our mission. Oursupporters helped by clearingcars, offering four-wheel-drivevehicles and transporting staff

to patient homes and our carecenters. We appreciate all ofyou and want you to know thatyour support is invaluable toour mission.

The county attorney’s of-fice gets calls from individ-uals and receives motionsfiled by attorneys concerningthe expungement or removalof convictions from someone’srecord. This article will ex-plain what offenses may beeligible for expungement andthe procedure to have an of-fense expunged.

Even though there is

no statutoryprocedure forexpungementof a felonythat was dis-posed of as“dismissed-diverted,” theKentuckyCourt of Ap-peals hasallowed forexpungementunder these

circumstances.Misdemeanors and Vio-

lations (including trafficoffenses): Most misdemean-ors and violations can be ex-punged except offenses in-volving sex or children. How-ever, you cannot expunge amisdemeanor if you have hada felony, misdemeanor, orviolation conviction or if youhave one pending against yousince the misdemeanor con-viction you seek to expunge.

A person can file for ex-pungement five years afterthe completion of the sentence(i.e. the date you were sen-tenced) or five years after theend of their probation – which-ever is later.

It should be noted thatalthough traffic offenses stay

on your accessible drivinghistory record for three years,the traffic violation will stayon your criminal record untilit is expunged. For some, likean applicant for a commercialdriver’s license, a recklessdriving charge that is still onyour criminal record, no mat-ter how long ago, may be det-rimental.

Juvenile Offenses: Certainjuvenile offenses may be eligi-ble for expungement as wellpursuant to KRS 610.330 suchas status offenses (such asrunaway), misdemeanors(such as shoplifting), and vio-lations (such as harassment)that fall under KRS 630, 635 or645. Offenses prosecutedunder KRS 620 (dependency,neglect or abuse) or KRS 640(youthful offenders) are noteligible nor are offenses thatwould be felonies had theybeen committed by an adult.

Process for Expungement:The process of expunging acriminal charge can take asignificant amount of time andeffort because it involvesseveral steps with the mul-tiple government agencies. Toinitiate the process, the per-son seeking expungementmust acquire a certification

from the Kentucky State Po-lice.

The process to obtain thecertification can be found athttp://bit.ly/KYexpunge . Onceyou have the certification, youmust file the appropriate pet-ition with the court where thecharge occurred. The courtwill then review the petitionand decide whether to grantor deny the expungement. Ifthe expungement is granted,the court and all other listedagencies will expunge anyrecords related to the charge.I recommend that anyoneseeking to expunge a criminalrecord seek an attorney toassist in determining youreligibility for expungement ofa criminal charge and com-pleting the expungementprocess for you.

I hope this information isinteresting and helpful. If youhave any topics you would liketo have covered in this col-umn, please contact my officeby e-mail at [email protected], by phone at491-7700 or by regular mailaddressed to 319 York St.,Newport, KY 41071.

Expungement allowed in some felony charges

Steven J.FranzenCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Last fall, I attended a meet-ing in Detroit of other charita-ble pharmacy leaders. Ilearned that with the imple-mentation of the AffordableCare Act (ACA), we are allfaced with the same issues –sustainability, declining needfor services, and newly in-sured clients who cannot af-ford their high deductiblesand co-pays.

I also realized that, unlikeus, the majority of the charita-ble pharmacies are financiallysupported by a hospital sys-tem or parent organization.From the beginning it’s beenour responsibility to seek outevery single dollar that wehave received. As a co-founderI have often said that I will diebegging for money.

By the summer of 2014 thenumber of clients we werehelping started to decline.Before we expanded our pro-gram to anyone with insur-ance and always mindful ofsustainability, we decided toseek input from St. ElizabethHealthcare regarding the need

for our ser-vice goingforward. Be-cause of theirpast supportand the factthat 70 per-cent of ourclients are St.Elizabethpatients, itseemed thelogical place

to start. Their answer waspositive. Currently we areworking with them to findways to strengthen our col-laboration. In addition, wepartner with other providerssuch as Health Point, ChristHospital and NorthKey.

We are excited to announcethat we have opened our pro-gram to anyone with insur-ance with family income at orbelow 200 percent of the Fed-eral Poverty Level that residesin the geographic boundariesof the Diocese of Covington(Boone, Campbell, Kenton,Grant, Owen, Carroll, Gallatin,Pendleton, Mason, Bracken,

Robertson, Lewis, Harrisonand Fleming counties).

It’s become evident thatwhile the ACA has been verypositive for our community,there are still folks – especial-ly our senior citizens – whocannot afford their premiums,high deductibles and co-pays.Our mission to help thoseunable to pay receive medica-tion free of charge remainsthe same. It is our goal to helpwith 80 percent of a client’smedication needs, thus freeingup money to buy other neces-sities. It absolutely breaks myheart to hear of anyone, espe-cially senior citizens, choosingbetween housing, food, orlife-saving medication.

Faith Community Pharma-cy is a charitable 501(c)(3)pharmacy located in Florence.Pharmacy law prohibits usfrom charging our clients anddispensing controlled sub-stances. Because we are aCatholic organization we onlydispense medications in keep-ing with our faith. We focusmainly on chronic disease

states – heart disease, highblood pressure, diabetes, men-tal illness, and breathing con-ditions. We cannot promise tohave all medications all thetime.

Since opening in 2002 thepharmacy has dispensed medi-cation valued at nearly $33million to more than 6,000qualified residents of ourcommunity. For an individualto receive help we need a re-ferral accompanied with pre-scriptions from a health careprovide. Once enrolled, clientswith transportation issuesmay receive help at one of ouroutreach locations – Carroll-ton, Falmouth, Covington andNewport Community ActionCenters.

As a pharmacist I feel trulyblessed to have the opportuni-ty to use my professionaltraining to help those lessfortunate.

Holmes and HolyCross may meetthis week in the

Ninth Region champion-ship game in girls basket-ball. If that happens, theBulldogs will be lookingfor answers to the ques-tion of beating the onlyteam that has defeatedthem this season.

The two Covingtoncity rivals came into the35th District final atHolmes with 53 com-bined wins and vastlycontrasting methods ofgetting those wins. Thehost Bulldogs have pros-pered with one of thestate’s most explosive of-fenses, scoring 73 pointsper game. Meanwhile,the Indians have one ofthe state’s stingiest de-fenses, allowing just 38points a contest.

For the second time inas many tries this season,HC’s suffocating zone de-fense won out as the Indi-ans stymied the Bulldogs,rolling to a 52-30 win overtheir rivals in the districtchampionship game.Thirteen of Holmes’points came in comebackmode in the fourth quar-ter.

“Today we executedour game plan almost toperfection,” HC headcoach Kes Murphy said.“That was our primaryemphasis coming into thetournament is our de-fense. It’s who we are; it’swhat we do. When weplay that way, I thinkwe’re tough to beat.”

Holy Cross improvedto 26-3 and is responsiblefor both of Holmes’ lossesin a 28-2 season. In theirregular-season matchup,HC pulled out a 51-47 win,which is also the only oth-er time Holmes has beenheld to fewer than 50points. Holmes hasscored more than 100points twice this season.

“He really wanted usto focus on our defenseand that’s what we did,”said HC senior center Al-ly Mayhaus, who wastournament most valu-able player. “We just keptthem from driving andkept our hands up, whichwe lacked the last game(against Holmes). Theyhardly had any points inthe paint. Most of theirpoints were on freethrows so that’s what wedo is defense and we do itreally well.”

Holmes had only eightfield goals, three of them

in the fourth quarter. TheBulldogs average morethan five 3-point makes agame but had zeroagainst the Indians.

Both teams advancedto the Ninth Region tour-ney. Holy Cross was set toplay St. Henry Monday,and Holmes takes on RyleTuesday. The semis are 6and 7:30 p.m. Saturdayand the final 6 p.m. Sun-day.

Ally Mayhaus led abalanced scoring attackwith 15 points. FreshmanTyrah McClendon-Engle-mon led the Bulldogswith 16 points, seven ofthem coming in thefourth quarter. HC limit-ed Holmes’ top threescorers – Jynea Harris,Hannah Tubbs and AmoriGulley – to 12 combinedpoints, 27 below theircombined averages forthe season.

In the last eightmonths, most varsityteams at Scott HighSchool have seen unprec-edented postseason suc-cess and raised schoolspirit to new levels inTaylor Mill.

One team used to suchsuccess is looking to keepthe trend going after arare misstep in 2014

“It all started with the

regional baseball tourna-ment (last spring),” saidScott boys basketballhead coach Brad Carr.“It’s the kids who are inthe building right now.They expect to be good.Sometimes you just havethat expectation and youcan do great things.”

Scott had reached the37th District final in thefirst eight years of thecurrent KHSAA align-ment before being oustedin the semifinal roundlast season. Scott ad-vanced to the district fi-nal last week and lost by aresounding 44 points toCampbell County (70-26)but will advance to the10th Region Tournament.

The tourney is at Ma-son County. Scott playsParis 7:30 p.m. Thursday.The semis are 6 and 7:30p.m. Monday and the fi-nal 7 p.m. Tuesday.

After drawing the topseed following a 4-0sweep of its district foesthis season, the Eaglestook care of business witha 68-28 win over under-dog Silver Grove in thesemis.

“We’re happy to beback in it,” Carr said. “Wejust have to work on whatwe do well. We have agreat group of kids.

We’ve had some kidsemerge and found somegood defensive players.They’re undersized butthey play well together.”

Jake Ohmer and sen-ior guard Darian Wither-spoon earned all-tourna-ment honors for Scott.

In the 32nd, SimonKenton fell to GrantCounty in the final for thesecond straight year, fall-ing 67-54. Jaeger Prachtled Simon Kenton with 17points. He and Matt Mul-lins were all-tourneypicks. The Eighth Regiontourney is at Henry Coun-ty. SK plays Collins 7:30p.m. Thursday. The semisare 6 and 7:30 p.m. Mon-day and the final 7 p.m.Tuesday.

In girls, Simon Kentonrepeated as 32nd Districtchamps with a 48-38 winover Walton-Verona. Si-mon Kenton freshmanguard Ally Niece wasnamed the tournamentMVP.

Niece finished with 23points. Senior forwardMaggi Bosse and sopho-more guard Madi Meierwere also named to theall-tournament team.Bosse scored nine pointsand Meyer finished withfour.

SK was set to play Old-ham County Tuesday inthe Eighth Region at Car-roll County. The semisare 6 and 8 p.m. Fridayand the final 7 p.m. Satur-day.

Scott lost 65-44 toCampbell County in the37th final. Scott’s AlexisStapleton and Anna Cle-phane, both freshman,were also named to theall-tournament team. Sta-pleton led Scott with 17points and Clephane fin-ished with 13 points.

I have embarked on ajourney; to read the entireBible in 120 days. To some,it may not seem like a bigdeal, but for a person likeme who has attempted thetask more times than I canremember over the last30-plus years, it is huge.

I have made it to thebook of Nehemiah and Iam awestruck more nowby the Old Testament thanI ever have been. Yes,there is much I don’t un-derstand, yet one themeremains crystal clear. Godwanted the absolute bestfor His people and whenthey were obedient Heshowered them with moreblessings than they couldhandle.

Over and over againthe same direction wasgiven. The simplicity of itis what amazes me. Obeyand be blessed; disobeyand face the conse-quences. Much like myhusband often tells ourchildren. And they, (likeme) somehow complicatethe system, rationalizetheir wrongdoing and suf-

fer great-ly for it.“If youwouldhave justlistened...” I canhear myhusbandsaying itto ourkids now.(Funny, I

think I can hear God say-ing it to me as well.)

Most recently in myreading I came across afascinating recollection ofNehemiah. As he was in-structing the Jews to re-build the city, they real-ized they were coming un-der attack. As Nehemiahpositions them and pre-pares the people for bat-tle, these are his words.“Do not be afraid of them.Remember the Lord,great and awesome, andfight for your brethren,your sons, your daugh-ters, your wives and yourhouses.” Nehemiah 4:14

A fascinating reminderfor me that I need not be

fearful regarding any ofthe battles I face becausemy God is great and awe-some. I am also remindedin this verse that in thislife I will have battles, butif I position myself whereGod directs, I will comeout victorious.

I’ve lived long enoughto experience the uttertruths found in the direc-tion and wisdom of God’sword. “Do what is rightand good in the Lord’ssight, so that you mayprosper and so that youmay enter and possess thegood land the Lord yourGod swore to give your fa-thers.” Deuteronomy 6:18

May you be blessed thisweek with the ability, likeNehemiah, to help posi-tion those you love andprepare them for battle,reminding them that theirfaith and trust in God willensure their victory everytime.

This is third in a seriesabout different bakingingredients and how theycan make a big differ-ence in your recipes. Wehave previously focusedon eggs and fat, this timewe will discuss an impor-tant but often unappreci-ated ingredient – flour.

Our Kenton CountyCooperative ExtensionService recently offereda class on, “Your BakingIngredients: They Make aDifference” with tipsfrom our office and theHome Baking Associa-tion. For more informa-tion, contact our office at859-356-3155.

Wheat flour is mostoften what we refer towhen using the term“flour” and is one of themain ingredients in mostof our baked goods.Wheat flours containprotein (gluten) whichgives baked goods theirstructure.

Whole wheat flour ismade of all three parts ofa wheat kernel: The bran,germ and endosperm.Whole wheat flour can bedifficult to bake with, asthe germ and bran caninterfere with glutendevelopment. All-purposeflour is made from theendosperm only, and

producesgreatresultsoverallfor homebaking. Ithas aproteinamountof 10percentto 12percentand is

made of a blend of differ-ent types of wheat.

When shopping forflour, you have probablynoticed many other varie-ties in the market. Mostflours are named accord-ing to the percent of pro-tein present. Here aresome basic differences:

» Bread flour is madewith a different “harder”variety of wheat, andcontains 14 percent to 16percent protein. Thisdifferent wheat varietyand higher protein con-tent yield a sturdier prod-uct – which is what weare looking for in bread.

» Cake flour is theopposite – made with asofter wheat variety, andtherefore a lower proteinamount of 7 percent to 8percent. Less glutendeveloped yields a moresoftly structured prod-

uct.» Self-rising flour is

all-purpose flour with saltand leavening includedfor convenience. One cupof self-rising flour con-tains 11⁄2 teaspoon bakingpowder and a half tea-spoon salt. This type offlour works well for bis-cuits and other “quick”breads needing this leav-ening.

Adding whole grainsthrough using wholewheat flour is a greatidea to boost the nutri-tional benefit of yourbaked good. For bestresults, gradually addwhole wheat flour for upto one-half of the all-purpose flour called forin a recipe.

It is also recommend-ed to start with “whitewhole wheat” flour as itis produced with a differ-ent wheat variety and hasa milder and sweetertaste. Allow bread doughthat has whole grains ashort time to rest beforekneading to give thewhole grain an opportuni-ty to absorb liquid in thedough.
