FRUITY BUTTERMILK LEMON SCONES—adapted from kingarthurflour.com

Ingredients:

  • 3 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 4 t. baking powder
  • ¾ t. salt
  • ½ c. sugar
  • Grated rind of 1 large lemon
  • 1 c. chopped or slivered dried fruit (apricots, cherries, cranberries, currants or combination of fruits)
  • ½ c. cold butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ t. lemon oil, optional; for more lemon flavor
  • ¾ c. buttermilk OR ¾ c. water plus 3 T. dried buttermilk powder
  • Garnish: Crystallized sugar

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, buttermilk powder (if using powder), baking powder, salt, sugar, lemon zest, and dried fruit. Cut butter into ¼-inch size slices. Using your fingers, a pastry fork, or pastry blender, work butter into dry ingredients. Mix until butter is about pea-sized pieces. Whisk together egg, optional lemon oil, and buttermilk or water. Add to dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is well moistened and just combined.

Using a large cookie scoop or measuring cup sprayed with nonstick spray, drop ¼-cup measures of dough onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined or Silpat-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1-1/2 inches apart.

For more traditional wedge-shaped scones, divide dough into four pieces and place on a well-floured work surface. Pat each piece into a 4-3/4-inch circle about ¾-inch thick. Transfer to two baking sheets, two rounds to a sheet. Don’t divide the circles into wedges yet; you’ll do that after they’re baked.

To add sparkle to the scones, prior to baking sprinkle tops with crystallized sugar.

Bake small round scones about 18 minutes or until they’re golden brown. For larger rounds, bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove scones from oven and serve warm. If you’ve baked the larger rounds, cut them into six wedges each before serving.

Yields: About 15 smaller round scones or 24 wedge-shaped scones.

Former Denison Police Officer protests his termination

News

February 20th, 2016 by admin

A former Denison police officer is protesting his removal from the force. A press release from Denison Mayor Dan Leinen says Ray Ohl was fired Feb. 5th because of insubordination and other misconduct. Ohl has requested a public hearing before the Denison City Council about the issues connected to his removal. A date for the public hearing is pending. The Daily NonPareil says Ohl was the department’s K-9 officer until he was removed from that duty on Dec. 29th, 2015.

In an interview with the paper three weeks ago, Denison Police Chief John Emswiler said he could not discuss the event for which Ohl was removed as the K-9 handler. Two days after Ohl was taken off K-9 duty, Chief Emswiler became the subject of a complaint for an incident that involved Ohl. On Dec. 31st, 2015, Crawford County Sheriff Jim Steinkuehler was contacted by an individual who had a complaint about Emswiler. The sheriff referred the individual to the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation.

Ohl organized and was among a small group of people that protested outside Denison City Hall on Wednesday, holding signs about equality, race relations and doing the right thing.

Geoff Greenwood, communications director for the Office of the Attorney General of Iowa, said his office is waiting for a report from the DCI before the investigation moves forward. Asked if the city intended to file charges against any of the individuals apparently in possession of the confidential personnel information, Leinen said an investigation was ongoing and he could not comment.

The United Way of the Midlands is marking its 13th year of providing a wide array of services to people across western Iowa and in Nebraska through calling 2-1-1. Lena Thompson, the call center’s director, says the program has come a long way since it was launched. “We started as a pilot with three counties,” Thompson says. “Now, we have the ability to cover the whole state of Nebraska, which is 93 counties, and we cover nine counties in the southwest Iowa area.” She says 2-1-1 is a one-stop shop for answers on all sorts of services and aid.

“211 is information and referral primarily,” Thompson says. “We get calls from people who might need rent or utility assistance, a food pantry, back-to-school programs, substance abuse, just a wide variety of things.” The service will continue to expand in the years ahead. “Our future goals are to start doing text messaging and chat services,” Thompson says. “We’re hoping to do text messaging this year and maybe expand into chat at the end of this year or early next year.”

Nearly 57,000 calls were made to the 2-1-1 call center last year and the website was accessed some 47,000 times. Thompson says statistics show nearly 30% of the calls were for utility assistance, 23% were for help with rent and 9% were for food assistance.
