It is a trust I take very seriously and do my best to keep LeRoy both progressive and Historic at the same time. Very often people say it is a thankless job, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The people from the community have been extremely supportive and the job has been very rewarding. One such reward came from the recently departed Nancy Baker. Nancy was a person always giving to this community and served in so many ways, and when she reached out in a letter to thank me, it was truly one of my proudest moments. Having graduated with her son Tom, and playing football with Bill as well as knowing her other children her letter hit my heart and truly made my day.

LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - OCTOBER 9, 2022 by Lynne Belluscio As mentioned in last week’s article about wheat, the early settlers planted summer wheat. It has a low gluten content and isn’t very good for yeast bread, but it was all they had except corn meal. It was ground into flour between mill stones. In this part of New York, because of the open fields, a lot of wheat was grown and it became famous. Rochester, which had abundant water power and was situated on the Erie Canal, became known as the flour city. But all of that changed when disease hit the wheat. Wheat production moved west to the great plains. And so here is the rest of the story. There was a type of wheat grown in Europe - - in the Ukraine. It was winter wheat and was planted in the fall. It needed freezing weather to grow. It was high in gluten and made great bread. In the 1870s, Russian immigrants from the Ukraine brought winter wheat seeds with them to the farmlands of Kansas. It was a variety known as Turkey Red. It grew very tall and created lots of straw. It also wasn’t easy to grind with mill stones. So, with the importation of hard winter wheat to the Midwest, a lot of changes had to be made. The most significant was the introduction of “roller mills.” The hard winter wheat could be ground between porcelain rollers. In fact, if you look carefully at the photograph of the LeRoy mill on Mill Street, you will notice that it is the LeRoy Roller Mill. Interestingly, in LeRoy, there was a man who was interested in breeding new varieties of winter wheat. He was the father of famous LeRoy artist, Frank Eastman Jones. A.N. Jones came to LeRoy from nearby Newark, N.Y. He acquired what was known as the “Railroad Mill” which was located north of town along the Oatka Creek. Jacob LeRoy had built the mill and had connected it to the mill in town with a “canal” which was a mill race. It is not known why Jones decided to experiment with cross breeding wheat varieties, but he developed 15 varieties. In 1889, he released Red Clawson which is a cross between Clawson and Golden Cross. Surprisingly, Red Clawson is still available commercially. He was one of the first to practice composite crossing. Early Genesee Giant, is the result of 8 successful crosses and was a variety distributed in 1893. Jones Fife and Red Wave are still grown today. Milling winter wheat with roller mills increased production of flour. Mechanization both in the fields and in the mills was necessary. Wheat was no longer sown by hand. It was planted in rows, and then the young plants had to be cultivated. The wheat had to be harvested in the summer. It was no longer winnowed by hand, and huge steam powered harvesters separated the wheat from the straw and the chaff. Massive mills were built along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. The Pillsbury Company was founded in 1869 by Charles and John Pillsbury. GoldMedal Flour Companywas named for the Gold Medals that were won in 1880 by Washburn Crosby at the first International Millers’ Exhibition in Cincinnati. Earlier in 1866, Cadwaller Washburn began what was to become General Mills. His mill, was the largest mill west of the Mississippi and west of Buffalo. James Ford Bell became president of the Washburn Crosby Company in 1925. General Mills was created on June 20, 1928. Fast forward to 2007, when I was at the annual meeting of the A s s o c i a t i o n of American Museums in Chicago. I was getting on a tour bus hosted by James Ford Bell’s grandson. “Well Mr. Bell, if you are ever in LeRoy, I hope you stop by the Jell-O Museum.” Eight years later he stopped by to say hi. By the way, if you are ever in Minneapolis make sure to visit the “Flour Tower.” It’s a great museum experience and you’ll learn about the huge explosion that destroyed the Washburn Mill on the night of May 2, 1878. It also has a great test kitchen and a huge gift shop. So, what is the story about Queen Victoria and LeRoy flour? Mr. Prentice who owned the LeRoy Roller Flour Mill shipped flour to England to Queen Victoria. In the archives of the Historical Society is a framed paper bag of Mr. Prentice’s flour. Whether Queen Victoria ever said anything about the flour is up for discussion. Other flour facts: March is National Flour Month. There are 21 different kinds of flour. Enriched floor was begun in the 1930s. When you buy “all purpose” flour, it is a mixture of soft and hard wheat. Bread flour is hard wheat with high gluten content. Cake flour is soft wheat, fine texture, with little gluten. Bleached flour is created by using a bleaching agent which creates a whiter, finer grained, softer flour. It is best used for cookies, pie crusts, quick breads, and pancakes. Whole wheat four is made from the entire wheat kernel and is made from hard wheat. Pasta flour is also called semolina flour and traditionally Italian pasta is made from durum wheat and has little gluten. And, if you are reading labels, if it says stone ground – it means that it was not ground in porcelain rollers. Wheat - Part 2

President Christine called the meeting to order with The Pledge and 4-Way test, along with introduction of guests, Katie Bonacquisti, and Kelsey Walther from FRESH, LeRoy High Music Teacher, Jessa Dechant and her two daughters, and LeRoy Seniors, Ryan Shirley, Katelynn Everett and Nate Yauchzee. A n n o u n c e m e n t s included the Rotary Appliance Raffle being held October 23 at Our Lady of Mercy (Holy Family) gymnasium. Tickets are $15 which includes a meal and drink. There are 15 major prizes this year. The appliance raffle is the largest fundraiser of the year for LeRoy Rotary and benefits the entire community. The Club has been selling tickets at many area events plus they can be purchased at Tompkins Insurance, Nanette’s Hair and Now or Save-A-Lot or tickets can also be purchased from any LeRoy Rotarian. Next, President Christine asked if there was anyone that wanted to fess up for missed meetings. Mike Tucci and Nan Chiulli said they were working and Mary Margaret Ripley said she threw her back out baking too much but after two chiropractor visits was feeling much better. The fining session was brief but informative. Proud dad, Mike Tucci paid a double, self-imposed fine for his two young daughters enjoying school and being excited about riding the bus and the fun they are having with gymnastics, soccer and other activities. Nan was fined for her and Michael and a LeRoy contingent hanging out at UB with Step-Son Xander who is attending his first year at College there. Xander is having the time of his life and Nan advised the attending seniors at the meeting to enjoy their years at college, have fun but get your work done too. The club celebrated two birthdays this month. Members Jason Karcher and Scott McCumiskey were serenaded with a rousing rendition of Home on the Range after being fined for said birthdays. Jessa Dechant was presented with a check for RAMP (Rotary Assisted Music Program) a LeRoy Rotary funded program which provides beginner music books for children at LeRoy Central School entering Band for the first time. Mrs. Dechant shared that they had over 40 new participants in Band this year and they very much appreciated Rotary funding this needed program. Program presenters for the day were Katie Bonacquisti and Kelsey Walther representing LeRoy Business Council’s subcommittee F.R.E.S.H. The F.R.E.S.H. committee was a committee formed to work on Food and Drink, Retail, Events and Attractions, Services, and Enhancement/beautification of LeRoy. The scarecrows currently on Main Street are a result of this committee and the next two events they are working on are Main Street trick-or-treating and enhancing Winterfest in LeRoy. For Winterfest they are adding horse drawn carriage rides, the high school chorus will be singing at the lighting of the tree, there will guided history tours of Main Street, Santa will be involved of course and the Main Street and Mill Street shops will all be open and having sales. There is much more to come with this committee so keep a lookout for more events and happenings. On a final note for the day the Club wanted to remember Nancy Baker, wife of longtime member Bruce Baker on her passing this past week. Nancy was and has always been an active spouse for the Club. Her smile, willingness to help and encouragement for all things Rotary always brightened every event Rotary Club of LeRoy had. The Club wishes Bruce and the entire Baker family condolences. President Christine thanked the guests and all in attendance. Without anything else for the good of Rotary the meeting was adjourned.
