Niagara Gazette — With the help of some New York Power Authority relicensing agreement money, the Western New York Land Conservancy is moving closer to creating a nature preserve on the property of Lewiston's Stella Niagara.
The Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Fund, created as part of the relicensing agreement's Niagara River Greenway, awarded the group located in East Aurora more than $1.8 million towards the creation of the preserve.
"The Stella Niagara Preserve represents an important accomplishment in our vision of creating a necklace of protected and publicly accessible open spaces along the length of the Niagara River," Greg Stevens, Chairman of the Niagara River Greenway Commission, said. "It is great to see the project moving forward with so much support."
Coupled with an additional $500,000 granted earlier this year by the Greenway Ecological Standing Committee, the project has nearly completed its fundraising goal of $3.1 million.
Located across Lower River Road from the Stella Niagara Education Park and Center of Renewal in the Town of Lewiston, the 29-acre Stella Niagara Preserve property is more than a quarter mile of scenic shoreline supporting rare plants and animals. It sits on a site of an important canoe landing site for the region's Haudenosaunee and is the exact location where the British landed in 1813 to capture Fort Niagara.
Once acquired, the conservancy will restore grassland and savannah habitat and open it to the public with walking trails, fishing and kayak access.
Nancy Smith, executive director of the conservancy group, said the money will go to creating an important property along the Niagara River, north of the Village of Lewiston. Together with the Sisters of St. Francis, who run the Stella Niagara property, the preserve's goal will be to "continue a legacy of careful stewardship of the extraordinarily unique and ecologically and historically important property" while providing river access.

Something monstrous and deceased is shambling through Bellevue this
Halloween season and this time, it's not vampires.
Starting on Oct. 26, the Bellevue Youth Theatre will put on on a play called "Zombies," a ghoulish look into a sleepy Southern town that suddenly becomes plagued by the walking dead.
"Generally we're used to the model of zombies being motivated by eating
human flesh," says the play's director Norm Delire. "Here, not so much. These zombies find out, in a weird way, that cookies are their driving force. More specifically, Girl Scout cookies."
The concept of creating cookie–frenzied zombies came primarily from Abby
Carter, president of the Theatre's Teen Advisory Board. She says she had been
approached with the challenge by artistic director James McClain after the two worked together last year on the Bellevue Youth Theatre's "Frankenstein."
"It was almost all her ideology and ideas; I was quite impressed," says McClain. "She and I wrote ["Frankenstein"] together and it was so good that we decided we're going to give even more to her. And so we went with the zombie theme and she just had some great ideas."

"Before 'Frankenstein,' I hadn't written for the theater at all," Abby said. "I
had never written a script before, either, it was just essays in English class and stuff. I really enjoy writing in general, so when we started discussing 'Frankenstein,' James said, 'Why don't you just write it with me?' so that's basically how I got involved."
Abby, a junior at Interlake High School, is one of many young people who have benefited from the Bellevue Youth Theatre, which aims to draw children from every background into their tradition of making magical theater productions.
Three years ago, the theater also began the Youth Quality Program, which empowers children interested in theater to take on bigger responsibilities, like becoming a playwright.
"Let them do our job and get them understanding what we do so that they're more prepared to actually pursue this," says McClain. "The results have been remarkably wonderful. Who better to tell a story than young people who have these fresh ideas. They bring a fresh perspective."
"Zombies" will run at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 and 27 and Nov. 2 and 3, and 2 p.m. Oct. 28, Nov. 3 and 4 at Bellevue Youth Theatre, 16661 Northup Way, Bellevue, WA. Tickets are $12 for general admisssion and $5 for Saturday matinee.

Swedish biomass gasification plant expands strategy for smart devices and valves
Metso's valve and field instrument solutions will support performance of renewable gas production.
Göteborg Energi AB has selected Metso to supply valves and smart instrumentation for its innovative GoBiGas project in the Rya harbor, Gothenburg, Sweden. GoBiGas is a major project for a new biomass gasification plant. The plant is currently being built by Metso Power and is the first of its kind in the world. The plant converts biomass into renewable biomethane gas, and will use the existing natural gas grid for distribution.
Metso has been selected to supply the state-of-the-art control and on-off valves, together with intelligent and safety valve controllers for both the gasification and the methanation units. Reliable valve performance in demanding conditions is key to ensuring safety, flow control accuracy, and reliability together with reduced process variability, which are challenges in such gasification processes. With the intelligent valve controllers supporting performance diagnostics and the safety valve controllers providing extensive safety valve testing and improved diagnostics data, predictive maintenance is possible, resulting in improved plant safety and minimizing the operational and maintenance costs of the valves.
The scope of supply includes approximately 320 valves, including Finetrol eccentric rotary plug control valve, butterfly valves, Neles RotaryGlobe valves, segment, and ball valves. Additionally there are 145 intelligent controllers and about 60 new generation safety valve controllers.
GoBiGas focuses on producing biomethane through gasification of biofuels and forest residues. The gasification system, together with the subsequent methanation and gas upgrading system, will produce high-calorific gas, biomethane, for distribution in the existing gas grid. This is the first plant of that kind ever and gas of this quality has never been produced continuously before from gasification. The facility will be built in two phases, the first scheduled to be operational late 2013, and the second phase after the first phase has been evaluated.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

ELIZABETHTOWN — People who make purchases in Essex County may soon pay an extra one-quarter percent in sales tax.
Last Friday, both houses of the State Legislature approved the county's request for a one-quarter percent hike in its county sales tax.
Biz News Ink
That means the 3.75 percent county rate would go to 4 percent — matching the state's 4 percent — if Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs the bill into law and the Essex County Board of Supervisors then votes for the increase.
Essex County would then have a combined sales tax rate of 8 percent, the same as surrounding counties.
The extra one-quarter percent would generate about $2 million in additional sales tax revenue, County Manager Daniel Palmer said.
Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury), who sponsored the bill in the Assembly, said that if the governor signs the bill, it's still up to the county to OK the increase.
"This is a Home Rule legislation that gives them the option," he said. "I am a big believer in Home Rule. Since they asked for it, I'd be surprised if they didn't follow through.
"This makes a big difference on their finances."
The increase was not on the agenda for discussion at Monday's Board of Supervisors Ways and Means session, Vice Chair William Ferebee (R-Keene) said, out of courtesy to Cuomo, who must still sign the legislation before it can take effect.
"It's good news for the county," Ferebee said. "We can use it."
Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas (D-Jay) couldn't be at Monday's meeting, but he said by email that it looks like the county finally succeeded this time.
"This was desperately needed to increase our revenues without going onto the property tax."
He said County Attorney Daniel Manning, County Manager Dan Palmer and County Treasurer Mike Diskin worked hard on the submission for the proposal.

Tocca Cullins calls the place where she used to live a house of horrors.
"Look at this sinking floor right here. It's a dangerous situation," Cullins said.
The Southwest Atlanta home in the 1000 block of Sims Street has holes in the wall, broken windows and no hot water. Cullins said she paid a company called the Real Estate Connection $600 a month to a stay in the home.
"I had promises that they were going to come and fix whatever needed to be fixed in the house," Cullins said.
The single mother of 11 said she waited seven months, but nothing was repaired. Cullins said shortly thereafter, disaster struck.
"My biggest nightmare came of August 2011 when my light box caught on fire. Georgia Power disconnected my service because it was too dangerous," Cullins said.
Cullins and her family have been using a generator for the last 10 months. She said she stopped paying rent when her supposed landlord refused to make repairs. They took Cullins to court in an attempt to get her evicted and that is when she said she discovered the shocking truth.
"No one could provide the deed to the house. The people renting me the house don't own it," Cullins said.
Now the "fake" landlords have disappeared, Cullins has no place to live and she said the state is trying to take her children.
"The phony landlords should be paying the money back to my mom and they should also go to jail for it," Octavious Cullins said.
"I am trying to make some effort right now to work something out, but I am lost," Cullins said.
Cullins said the home is actually owned by a woman in New York state who claims she had no idea the home was being rented out.
Occupy Atlanta is working with Cullins and her family. The group said it hopes the public will help the family buy a home, which will be renovated by volunteer plumbers electricians and carpenters.

Gaylord Nelson - An Introduction:
Gaylord Nelson, U.S. senator and Earth Day founder, was a lifelong environmental activist who had a lasting influence on U.S. environmental policy and the American environmental movement and its core principles of conservation, sustainability and environmental justice.
Gaylord Nelson - Birth and Family:
Gaylord Anton Nelson was born on June 4, 1916, in Clear Lake, Wisconsin, the third of four children. His father was a doctor, and his mother worked as a registered nurse. Both his parents were active in Progressive Republican politics and community life, and his great-grandfather was one of the founders of the Wisconsin state Republican Party.
As a child, Nelson spent a lot of time outdoors and depended on nature for recreation—his family didn't own a radio until he was in high school. His early love of the natural world would evolve into a lifelong commitment to protect and preserve the environment.
Gaylord Nelson – Education:
Gaylord Nelson attended public schools in Wisconsin. He played football and basketball at Clear Lake High School, graduating in 1934 in the midst of the Great Depression.
Nelson went to California for college, where he earned a bachelor's degree from San Jose State University in 1939. He returned to Wisconsin for law school and received his law degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1942.
Gaylord Nelson – Military Service:
When Gaylord Nelson received his law degree in 1942, World War II was in full swing. He joined the army, was commissioned as a lieutenant, and was given command of a unit of segregated African-American soldiers. He and his men served in the Pacific campaign against the Japanese, and were involved in the battles around Okinawa.
Gaylord Nelson – Marriage and Family:
When Nelson's tour of duty ended in 1946, he returned to Wisconsin, started a law practice in Madison, and married Carrie Lee Dotson, an army nurse he met during the war. Nelson and his wife were married nearly 60 years, until his death in 2005. They had two sons, Gaylord, Jr. and Jeffrey, a daughter, Tia, and four grandchildren.
Gaylord Nelson – Political Career:
Nelson wasted no time starting his political career. After losing a race for House of Representatives as a Progressive Republican in 1946, he was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate as a Democrat in 1948. He served for 10 years, including four years as Democratic floor leader.
Nelson was elected governor of Wisconsin in 1958—the second Democratic governor in the 20th century—and served four years before winning a U.S. Senate seat in 1962. As governor, he showed his love of nature by pushing through a one-cent-per-pack cigarette tax, using the money to preserve a million acres of land for public recreation.
Nelson served three terms (18 years) in the U.S. Senate. He was a popular senator with a reputation for independent thinking and a passion for environmental issues.
Nelson worked to reduce vehicle pollution, protect oceans by regulating offshore oil drilling, halt the use of DDT and Agent Orange, and remove detergents from rivers and drinking water. He sponsored or influenced passage of the Wilderness Act, Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Endangered Species Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and legislation to protect the Appalachian Trail. He was also instrumental in creating the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In 1980, Nelson lost a close race to Robert W. Kasten, Jr., who swept into office with many other Republicans on the coattails of the new president: Ronald Reagan. After losing his Senate seat, Nelson became a counselor to The Wilderness Society, a job he worked at vigorously for the next 24 years, until his death in 2005.
Gaylord Nelson – Honors and Death:
Gaylord Nelson received many honors during his life, including the Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor, which President Bill Clinton presented to Nelson in 1995.
Nelson also received the United Nations' Environmental Leadership Award in 1982 and "Only One Earth" award in 1992. Wisconsin honored its native son by creating the Gaylord Nelson State Park in Madison, and Nelson's hometown of Clear Lake established the Gaylord Nelson room in the town museum.
Gaylord Nelson died on July 3, 2005, at his home in Kensington, Maryland. Cardiovascular failure was the cause of death. He was 89 years old.
Gaylord Nelson – Earth Day Founder:
Senator Gaylord Nelson had a distinguished political career, but he is best remembered as the founder of Earth Day.
Earth Day wasn't Nelson's first idea for focusing public and political attention on environmental issues. In 1963, he persuaded President John F. Kennedy to make a nationwide tour about the growing need to conserve natural resources, but the trip received scant media coverage and did little to increase environmental awareness.
As environmental conditions grew worse throughout the 1960s—the Santa Barbara oil spill and the Cuyahoga River fire both occurred in 1969—Nelson became increasingly committed to the goal of educating the public about the need for environmental action.
Impressed by the anti-war teach-ins taking place on college campuses in the late 1960s, Nelson conceived the idea for a nationwide teach-in about the environment. To get the ball rolling, the senator raised money to fund the Earth Day project, wrote to all 50 governors and the mayors of several major cities asking them to issue Earth Day proclamations, and sent an Earth Day article to college newspapers and Scholastic Magazine, which reached most high school and elementary school students. He also recruited Denis Hayes, a Harvard University student, and a team of volunteers to organize the Earth Day event.
Earth Day was a spectacular success: 20 million people took part in educational activities and community events nationwide. Congress recessed for the day so that House and Senate members could share their views on the environment and attend events in their home districts. New York City Mayor John Lindsay closed Fifth Avenue to traffic and 100,000 New Yorkers attended an ecology fair in Central Park.
Public response to Earth Day energized the U.S. environmental movement and made the environment a top political issue overnight, led Congress and several states to pass or strengthen key environmental legislation and to create the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a variety of state agencies charged with protecting the environment.
Two of Nelson's many quotes offer real insight into his vision:
"Our goal is not just an environment of clean air and water and scenic beauty. The objective is an environment of decency, quality and mutual respect for all other human beings and all other living creatures."
"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."

Andre Villas-Boas returns to Stamford Bridge tomorrow night for the first time since he was sacked as the manager last March. The 35-year old has spoken before about it and is obviously unhappy with the way he was treated, although he must have known that Abramovich has been going through managers the way most people go through toilet rolls.
His Tottenham side are currently lying outside the Champions League places in fifth place and they desperately need a win to push them above Arsenal. So you would think that AVB would not try to do anything to wind the Chelsea players up and make his task even harder. Well you would be wrong, because the Portuguese coach has suggested that it was the players' fault he was sacked.

Charlie Villanueva, Greg Monroe and Jason Maxiell practicing with Pistons before summer league
Keith Langlois of Pistons.com:
Villanueva, along with teammates Greg Monroe and Jason Maxiell, is here only to take part in the four days of practice leading to Monday's opener
This is good news for the Pistons, who in some ways, are still trying to dig themselves out of the hole of their divided-locker room days. That the veterans are supporting them and working hard themselves sends a great message to Detroit's young players who are participating in the summer league.

Good to hear they trying to get on the same page very early, and learning the new guys. I'm happy to hear this. I think we going to suprise the NBA..!!!!!!!!!
Jul 7, 2012 • 10:13 pm
by rick
Would you care to enlighten us of when these particular situations occured? Im curious to know when they had enough continuity on the team for Villanueva to be involved in anything. Why do people always have to be negative Nancy when a positive article is posted? I mean dude is in the second year of new coach and ownership give him a break. Stop spewing venom someone else has hashed out for the guy. Dude in my opinion gets a pass for last year based off all the injuries that took place in the NBA and Kuester last year correct me if Im wrong isnt he one of the few who did play while injured? People tend to forget that conveniently in order to make their point. All I am saying do some research then throw him under the bus. To say every year he does this and that without specifically stating when and where is very disengenuous if you ask me. It is obvious you dont care for him but dont make stuff up that noone has heard before. Now before you start tripping the guy played the year before on a bum ankle and the season last year noone knew if it was gonna even be one so alot of players came in out of shape. How do all the leagues stars and other players get a pass but ours dont. He gets a nominal amount of respect from me simply because he played the previous year when everyone on our team was out and he was injured. So please research before you hate on the man. He will be alright once he plays his natural position and earns a role. Book it!

It's great how fast the Pistons went from a dysfunctional team with walkouts to a unified team with focus. The Dumars blunders that tend to get focused on are the Darko Pick and other shameful roster moves, but the long string of bozo coaches had a big time detrimental impact too. I'm glad the Stones finally have a coaching staff that the players respect, and the infrastructure to improve the young players instead of paying way too much for free agents.

Fremont man claims innocence, says he won't 'sit in jail'
"I was not in that vehicle. I wasn't even in the same state. I'm not going to turn myself in and sit in jail for something I didn't do," Andrew Decoito told the New Hampshire Union Leader in a phone interview Wednesday.
Decoito, 22, of 166 Main St., is facing warrants for his arrest on charges stemming from the brief police pursuit that ended when the vehicle pulled into Decoito's driveway and then continued a short distance into a wooded area.
The driver, who police said they believe was Decoito, then fled the vehicle and ran into the woods, prompting a search by state and local police.
The pursuit came three months after Decoito was arrested in connection with a shooting outside his residence.
Police said Decoito was armed with an AR-15 rifle when he fired 30 rounds at a car occupied by a driver and three passengers on the night of Jan. 5.
At the time, Decoito said he and his girlfriend were at his home sleeping around 3 a.m. when four people forced the door open, barged into his room and asked for a jacket they thought he had. He said they had been at a party earlier and that a jacket turned up missing.
Decoito said that he and his girlfriend were then assaulted and that he suffered a concussion and a fractured nose and cheekbone.
Decoito, who is accused of punching one of the men, said he then went to grab for his rifle to defend himself, at which time the others fled to the car.
"I didn't know if they were getting a gun," he said.
Decoito said he went outside as they got into the car to take off.
"They were still on my property, and I made sure they left, and that was it," he said.
Decoito said that he began firing as soon as the last person got into the vehicle. Police said the car was hit, but no one was injured. Decoito said he never intended to hurt anyone with his rifle.
"It's ridiculous. If I wanted them dead, they would have been dead right there. It was a warning," he said. "I didn't go knocking on somebody's door at 3 a.m. with four people."
Acting Police Chief Denny Wood said the other individuals involved in the incident were charged with burglary.
Decoito said he hasn't lived at his house since the shooting.
Meanwhile, Decoito said he is not a danger to the public. He said police are accusing him of fleeing Sunday's traffic stop because of a "personal vendetta."
He said he was babysitting at the time. When asked if he knows who was driving, he answered, "I have a good idea, but I'm not saying."
Wood said that as of Wednesday night, Decoito had not turned himself in.
Decoito is being charged with reckless operation, two counts of disobeying a police officer, resisting arrest, failure to yield at a stop sign, driving after revocation or suspension, breach of bail conditions, and speeding.
At one point during the interview with the Union Leader, Decoito said he would talk to Wood about surrendering, though he maintained he is innocent of the charges.

Local morning commuters were delayed Wednesday morning after police cars from the Irvington, Ardsley, Greenburgh and Westchester County took over Dobbs Ferry streets while searching for a suspect.
The search also required the help of local K-9 and helicopter units.
The suspect—a black male, who is about 6 feet 2 inches, 30-years of age and wearing blue jeans and a yellow traffic-type vest —was stopped by Dobbs Ferry Police around 10 a.m. Wednesday for a suspended registration at the intersection of Broadway and Langdon Avenue in Dobbs Ferry.
He jumped out of his vehicle as the officer approached his car and fled on foot south. The officer suffered a dislocated shoulder while trying to catch the suspect, was relieved from duty and treated at in Dobbs Ferry.
The suspect, who was driving a vehicle that was registered to a female in Amityville, NY, is still at large. Police have not been able to contact the owner of the vehicle or determine if the vehicle was stolen.

Mongolian Beef Recipe
(Popular and All-Time Favorite Chinese recipes: Chow Mein, Broccoli Beef, Sweet and Sour Pork, Egg Drop Soup, Kung Pao Chicken, Cashew Chicken, Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, and more.)
Last month during the Beijing Olympics, I shared many popular American Chinese food recipes and the responses were overwhelming. I got numerous emails from my readers trying out my recipes with great success. They thanked me profusely with some of the sweetest emails I've ever received and requested more popular Chinese recipes such as Mongolian beef and orange chicken. Mongolian beef is probably one of the most popular beef dishes in the United States, perhaps right after broccoli beef. Mongolian beef is not a traditional Mongolian dish. I am personally not sure about the origins of this recipe but according to Wikipedia, Mongolian beef is a Chinese-American creation. However, I have a Shang Palace Cookbook (Shang Palace is the signature Chinese restaurant at Shangri-La Hotels) and Mongolian beef is featured. I believe Mongolian beef is a legitimate Chinese dish that has been adapted by overseas Chinese restaurants.
Near my office at Beverly Hills—where Chinese restaurants are almost non-existent—I go to PF Chang when I need my Chinese lunch fix. While I am not a fan of PF Chang and chain restaurants, I have to say that PF Chang does a decent job with its Mongolian beef. In fact, Mongolian beef is probably one of the best items on their menu.
My Mongolian beef recipe is very close to the taste of PF Chang's, except that I used leeks instead of scallions. If you are not a fan of leeks, or can't get them where you live, scallions work, too. Now, tell me if your local Chinese restaurants (in the UK, Australia, Canada) serve Mongolian beef? I am really curious to know.

looks amazing, the close up is beautiful. Can tell you are a good chef just by the way you slice the scallions & leeks, so thin and so consistent (mine some thick, some thin :/)
Hmm, I'm not sure if we call it Mongolian beef here. Anyway, that looks really good and simple too!
I think I need to ask my sister to try this. She is also in the US. For me, I am not good at cooking. I am lazy. :)
Im a Malaysian studying in Melbourne.
Mongolian beef is way toooooo common here! I work in an Asian kitchen in uni. The Aussies love it!
I love Mongolian beef, this is something I always order at Chinese restaurant. I didn't think that Mongolian beef recipe is not that hard. This is great!
I am in the US-Baltimore and I've never seen Mongolian Beef on a menu at a Chinese food place-take out or sit down.
This looks amazing! I have to try it! Speaking of PF Chang's, have you tried their Hot and Sour soup? Its heavenly! Do you have any recipes for this soup?
Thank you!!!
That is some gorgeous mongolian beef! I would love to eat that any day!
I'm in Brisbane, Australia, and I think that Mongolian Lamb is more popular/common than Mongolian Beef here. Or that may just be my personal preference! :D
In Sydney down under, I've seen Mongolian beef and Mongolian lamb from the Chinese shops. They tend to favour adding onions, capsicums and carrots to it
Mongolian beef is popular in Aussie land here. Some restaurant even serve it in sizzling plate to create more "wow" effect! :)
Mongolian beef is a pretty common dish on the Chinese restaurants that cater to primarily Western clientele here in New England.
Great recipe. Will try it soon. The photos look great too.
Ooo -I've been looking all over for a (reliable) recipe for this. Thanks!
Yep, here in Australia, we serve this dish at most Chinese restaurants (although Mongolian lamb is probably more common than Mongolian beef. Very tender).
This mongolian beef sure look better than beef w broccoli. I think im gonna like this mongolian beef. ;)
I'm sorry. I tried it and my boyfriend "BigBear" (David Wyers) wouln't eat it.
Of course, everytime I serve something "chinese" he gets all bent out of shape.
Clearwater, Florida
Your version looks really good! I'm not a fan of PF Chang's either, hehe, but I think another redeeming item on their menu (for me at least) will be their deep-fried prawns with garlic and chilli peppers..:)
this beef dish is a winner!! love it!!
I love mongolian beef back in the Philippines but the ones here in the chinese restaurants are too sweet and have too much sauce. Not like yours – just perfectly napped with the sacue. Can you freeze some and send it my way? ;)
it really doesn't matter what you call this dish, but i really does look delicious… thanks for sharing… :)
Love the picture :)
I am in Montreal, Canada and truthfully I don't think I have ever seen it in the menus of Chinese restaurants I got to. Maybe it is called something else…
I am going to try your recipe soon and let you know how it turns out :)
it continues to amaze me how different chinese food is in the US compared to malaysia. i dont think i've ever seen mongolian beef in our local menus here. lol
but this recipe looks good. i love beef!
one day when i get my kitchen in order, i shall try out all your lovely recipes!!
Yum! Just give me some green onion pancakes (paratha) to wrap it up in, and I'm a happy panda.
One of the best presented beef dish I have seen for sometime.
I like the simplicity of this dish. I think with good beef, it would be stellar, and all the flavoring show through. Great, thanks!
Looks so tender and succulent. I'll definitely try this one out.
I love mongolian beef and it's funny because before I clicked on the rest of the entry, I was thinking about how the only place I order the dish is at PF Chang's! I haven't had mongolian beef in ages (like over a year!), so now I've got a serious craving. :P
Mongolian Beef reminds me of the hot plate beef that is quite common in SG. Your version makes me drool. ;-)
Does anybody know a good recepy site like this one, but in chinese?
My mother would love to try new things out.
Thank you for this great site, bookmarked it :)
I just found this through Food Blog Search!
I'll be making this for dinner tonight :).
How many servings is this — 2?
I'm from Utah and lots of Chinese restaurants serve Mongolian beef. It's one of my favorites.
As for where it came from, I can tell you that several restaurants I ate at in China had a very similar dish; I don't know the Chinese name but it translated to Iron Beef. It was beef, white onions and green peppers in a similar sort of sauce, and they served it sizzling in an iron skillet. It was one of my absolute favorite things I ate there.
My boyfriend loves Mongolian Lamb. I never have a say when we get Chinese… we always have to have it! Actually we had it just last night. I'm from Brisbane, Australia, and like others have said- Mongolian Lamb is more common than the beef version.
San Francisco has mongolian beef in every chinese restaurant. By reading your recipe, and others, I noticed that the restaurants in SF use small dried chili in their beef to add extra hotness to it…really brings out the flavors more. I'll try this recipe, but definately will add chili and a bit of hoisin sauce.
HAS ANYONE EVEN TRIED this recipe?? or any recipes from this blog??1
hi!! I am from Mexico, I went to a chinese restaurant and the have it, but sooooooo hot!!! with alot of dry chile and green chile too
ok b, i have your origin.
mongolian beef (or lamb) is a legitimate chinese dish, originally adapted from the cooking practices of mongolians and northern chinese muslims. there are two varieties, mongolian 'hot pot' which is very common, using a pot that holds broth and charcoal, or mongolian 'brazier' or 'grill,' which is basically like bulgoki in that thinly sliced meat is grilled at the table on a type of skillet. in america, early chinese restaurants weren't equipped to provide a small stove for each diner, so a version that could be stir-fried in the kitchen and served normally or on a sizzling plate was devised. in fact, many (cheap) korean restaurants in america and thailand do a similar thing, frying the bulgoki and serving it cooked rather than having each diner do it themselves.
I am from PEI, Canada, I have never heard of this dish, but I hadn't looked for it either. Looks great though, will try the recipe~
Mongolian beef in my home country Norway is not very common. But I have yet to see it in in beijing when i live there served as a authentic dish haha.
Ever since visiting Florida on holiday and eating Mongolian Beef at Mings Court on International Drive my boyfriend and I have been hooked. We asked our local chinese take aways if they ever heard of it and they didnt know of it at all. I dont know of anywhere in my area in the UK that makes this. I am looking forward to trying your recipe as it looks so delicious, just how I remember it :-)
Hi – I lived in China for a number of years. It is an authentic Chinese dish, in Chinese it's tie ban niu rou – iron plate beef. Comes served at the table on a metal plate and sometimes has carrots, capsicum and onion. I used to like the veggies even more than the beef :)
Hi Rasa, this recipe never fails to impress my husband every time I cook it for dinner. I have one question though: What is the purpose of stir frying the beef 1st and then add it back later after the aromatics? I usually skip this step cos I am lazy.
But from my experience, when taking out the beef it also continues to cook a bit after taken out. Meat and vegetables cook at different rates, thats why chinese cook it separately:).
I would like to recommend you guys you better to go Mongolia and try this and feel the real taste of Mongolian beef is.Mongolian beef and bbq is really amazing and has o lot of energy and smells pretty nice.I think if you tried in abroad of Mongolia that is fake.All Chinese restaurant has Mongolian food.But it's really shit.Mongolian beefs and steaks Never been like this.Best advice is meet an Mongols and ask to cook Mongolian beef and you will gotta feeling how nice this is.
Good luck.
Mongolia is independent country.Not Chinese region.
I am a new subscriber, and I am so glad I came across your web site! I am fixing the food for my sons wedding dinner next week, and they requested Orange Chicken. I also decided to do Mongolian Beef. Coud you please let me know how many people each recipe serves I would really appreciate it. I am serving 60 people.
If I use a pound of beef instead of 8 oz., should I double the sauce and marinate ingredients? thank you.
IS there anything I can substitue for the kecap manis?? I can't find it anywhere.. (sorry for keep asking questions .. :x)
This looks yum ! will try this with lamb and I dont eat beef .
The only thing i liked in pf changs was their battered beans and the sauce . could I get the recipe for it esp the dipping sauce which comes with it .
Gnani, London
I made this dish last night and my girlfriend has asked for me to make it again. She loved it so much she had to hold herself back from eating all the beef.
Thanks so much.
I tried this recipe tonight … the beef is somewhat tough :( I didn't read the recipe carefully so I stir fried the beef and then put in the sauce, maybe that's where I went wrong…
Hi there,
Even If I don't consider myself a pro chef I'm really passionate about asian cooking, and I like putting my own little touch to the foods. But however, I have a question here. I was looking for maggi seasoning, but there is like 9 different types of bottles. Which type of seasoning sauce do you refer to here?.
As I didn't have Maggi seasoning I added a touch of Chinkiang Vinegar, the end result was actually quite nice too.
Ps! This version with leeks actually was somewhat better than the one with scallions only.
good idea, i like the way you do it….thanks

Grand Rapids Public Schools has a new, temporary, superintendent
Former superintendent Dr. Bernard Taylor had planned to resign by the end of the school year. But Tuesday night the school board of Michigan's third largest public school district voted unanimously to grant Taylor an immediate leave of absence.
In June 2011, Taylor agreed to resign from Grand Rapids schools by June 2012. That agreement came after he was a finalist for other jobs beginning last spring. It's unclear why Taylor asked to leave now. The request came in an official letter dated December 27th. He'll use all of his vacation and sick days left. The district would have had to pay him for those anyway.
GRPS spokesman John Helmholdt says Taylor is deferring all comments to the school board president.
"I don't know if relief is the is the word," Grand Rapids school board president Senita Lenear responded to reporters after the meeting, "but we definitely are looking at this as an opportunity."
Lenear says Taylor's immediate departure gives the district more time to conduct a thorough search. "(Its) an opportunity to comb through the system to find out what's working well in the system internally; that's an opportunity to prepare us for the person who's coming so we can have a plan in place," Lenear said. "We can look for the skill set of a certain type of individual based on the needs that we have in our district."
The interim superintendent is Assistant Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal. "Actually I don't feel any pressure; I probably should," Neal said, smiling and hugging co-workers after the board meeting.
Neal is a graduate of Grand Rapids schools. She's worked for the district since 1977 and says she's built great relationships in the school system. However, she is not interested in the position permanently. "It's a great city – a great district – and I think there will be many people that will be interested in coming," Neal said.
Neal says she'll launch a "listening tour" this week to start gathering input on what the community wants in a new superintendent. The school board will interview four superintendent search firms next week to decide which one to hire.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the school board meeting took place on Monday instead of Tuesday. It has been corrected.

Facing the Future of EMS
Opportunities have never been better for EMS to recast its role
In December 2010, I attended a small brainstorming session at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. ASPR is the entity responsible for dealing with widespread public health emergencies—for assuring that community healthcare systems are ready and able to care for that which rarely happens, but would have dire consequences if it did. ASPR grants have provided many communities with preparedness funds for such things as hospital decontamination capabilities, personal protective equipment for EMS personnel, and a variety of training resources. It also manages the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS).1
The topic of the meeting, which was attended by leading emergency physicians, public health physicians, health economics and policy experts (and me), was, "How can we improve the emergency care system while at the same time improving surge capacity and our ability to deal with large public health emergencies?" The emergency care system was loosely defined to include EMS, primary care and emergency care—a far narrower definition than is usually applied at the federal level, but a bit broader than that used in the "field EMS bill" recently introduced in Congress.2
I found this meeting extremely stimulating. I have rehashed and replayed its discussions many times, discussed them with peers, and read a number of articles written by people who share all or part of the vision I've developed and embraced.
I think EMS in the United States is at a crossroads. The Institute of Medicine has identified this,3 although I'm not sure we're talking about the same intersection. As a community, we are definitely polarized in our vision, and it doesn't have anything to do with the colors of our trucks or whether our members also fight fires, enforce laws or wear hospital ID tags. Those differences have been and continue to be beaten to death, mostly without any grand meaning. The polarization I've observed exists across all those sectors. It is, in short, the way each of us answers the following question: Do we want EMS to be reactive or proactive? Simply put, reactive means we sit in our stations or on street corners and wait for someone to call us. Proactive means we get out and do things to improve the health of our community in between running emergency calls.
Today's Reactive EMS Systems
Since the ambulances volantes operated by Napoleon's surgeon general, Dominique-Jean Larrey,4,5 through the funeral home ambulances, tow-truck operator rescue services and up to most of today's modern EMS systems, EMS has been a reactive service. Wait for a call for help, then respond and do the best we can for the person in distress with the knowledge, skills, abilities and tools available to us. There's nothing particularly wrong with reactive EMS—we've saved a lot of lives, reduced significant suffering and helped millions of people along the way. What we may have missed is a number of things that impact us—things that happened not in the EMS industry, but in the world around us.
The care of chronic illness has improved greatly, so that people live longer. These people have healthcare needs beyond acute emergent care that can be addressed without necessarily involving transportation to hospitals.
Automotive engineering has reduced the incidence and severity of motor vehicle crashes. A crumpled vehicle no longer always correlates with a seriously injured person.
Research has shown that properly designed interventions can reduce traumatic injuries from falls, bicycle crashes, drowning and a host of other causes.6
Another dimension has been added to hospital economics: powerful economic incentives to keep people from returning to hospitals shortly after discharge.7–9

HODGES, MRS. JENNIE, aged 44; married; resided in Spray, N.C. Children: Grady, aged 11. Iris, aged 9. Melvin, aged 7. Albert, aged 16. Peggy, aged 4. Myrtle, aged 19 months. (All children except Peggy and Myrtle are in school.)
INCOME: The husband works in Spray mill at $12.00 per week.
HOME CONDITIONS: They rent a three-room house at $6.00 per month. Prior to about two weeks ago the husband was working only part time and was unable to meet the rent bill with which they are about $100 behind in. The groceries amount to around $3 or $4 a week, but she says that the food is insufficient for the children's needs. They were unable to pay the electric light bill so the electricity has been taken out. Bag money which amounts to $10.00 a month keeps the children clothed, their school supplies and lunches paid for and their insurance amounting to about $4.80 a month. The house is fairly well furnished and kept spotless and clean. She says that the bag stringing is only done in her spare time and that it never interferes with her house work. If the bags are taken away, she will have to have some other form of relief.

One of Waltham's state representatives said he and other lawmakers plans to carefully consider Gov. Deval Patrick's proposed hikes in several taxes.
"My approach is going to be to take time and read and comprehend all of the governor's proposals," said State Rep. Thomas Stanley, D-Waltham.
Stanley, who also serves as a Waltham City Councilor, said he wants to carefully examine what impacts new taxes would have on public safety, local aid and taxpayers before taking a position on the issue.
"We're not going to make any kneejerk decisions," Stanley said.
Patrick's plans include applying the sales tax to soda, candy and alcohol, which are currently exempt from taxation. He is also calling for a $1 tax hike on tobacco products to $3.51 in taxes per pack of cigarettes. Patrick has also proposed a 1 percent increase in the state income tax to 6.25 percent, a 2 percent decrease in the sales tax to 4.25 and a doubling of the personal exemption to 8,800. Patrick has also proposed regular increases in tolls, MBTA fares and Registry fees. The taxes are part of his larger budget plan, which calls from increases in education and transportation spending.
Changes to any taxes would require approval from lawmakers.

Sometimes news events can drag on longer than a photographer plans. Just ask Reuters Honduras photographer Edgard Garrido, who has been in the Brazilian embassy holed up with the ousted President for more than 10 days. Your View contributor
The US now sees Karzai as the legit prez of Afghanistan. They also dropped the demand that the Jews stop expanding their settlements, as a precondition of peace talks. And despite constant chest thumping rhetoric about not negotiating with terrorists, it looks like that one will go too. Barry is bleating about the "need" for dialogue with people who blow up women and children. Rather than talking to them, I thought that the notion of wiping them (Taliban) from the face of the planet was the go.
It looks like the US administration has decided that it is all too hard, and the easy way out is the easiest. I thought that Barry would be a good Prez of the US, but I no longer think of him or them in this way. I am trying not to think about them at all.

This is a beautifully designed sandal in terms of style, adjustable straps, and apparent sturdiness. I bought a pair to alternate with walking shoes for long-distance hiking in Scotland, and delivery and returns (I bought a different style to compare) were dealt with excellently. However, my feet pronate markedly, and these sandals don't correct it at all; they also feel very flat, with not even a slight rise in the heel. So, while they're probably fine for long distances if you've got better foot mechanics than me, I haven't tried them for such. But they were a welcome change at the end of 10-15 miles hike. So, Chaco's - would you like to take the challenge and design a sandal that accommodates a removable orthotic to correct different degrees of pronation?? If yes, I'll be a guinea pig!!
Product Size Rating: Sized as Expected
I had such high hopes for these sandals after seeing lots of good reviews of the brand. How disappointed I was! When I first put them on they felt really comfortable but, after walking for less than a mile, the straps started to tighten, especially around the toe, with the result that I ended up with blisters on my toes. I re-adjusted them and tried again but the same thing happened. A quick google search showed that I am not the only person to have had this problem. I asked Chaco customer services for advice and they suggested spraying the straps with some sort of stretching spray and then inserting a shoe tree to stretch them out. I pointed out that the straps don't need to be stretched as they are fine when I first adjust them, the problem is that they do not stay in place when you walk in them. Also, I have never seen a shoe tree that fits inside a toe loop! Chaco have yet to get back to me with an actual solution. So, if you're happy to stop and adjust your sandals (which is not a quick process) every 20 minutes or so, go ahead and buy these (mine will soon be listed on ebay if you want them!). If you want a pair with straps that stay in place so you can wear them for long walks, look elsewhere.

cover your tracks
Meaning: If you cover your tracks, you make sure no-one can find evidence of what you've done.
For example:
- He's a smart guy and he knew how to cover his tracks so the police couldn't connect him to the crime.
- Bob didn't cover his tracks well enough, and his wife found a romantic text message that a girl had sent to his phone.

Pass the ball!There was definitely some passing, though perhaps not quite as on-target as we may have hoped. 16-30 for 249 yards and 4 touchdowns (with a pick) is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
Run it up. Not as much of a "cakewalk" as you expected, was it? We did pick up more than Cal's defense was averaging, but only by 4 points.
Bri'onte scoring again. Mr. Dunn did not even touch the ball on Saturday – except on a 22 yard kick return – let alone house it.
Pass rush. Definitely a significant improvement here! The pass rush was much more aggressive than we've seen in previous games, and led to more than a few sacks.
Braxton getting less than 15 carries. This is a case of "careful what you wish for". Braxton got less than 15 carries, but it seemed terribly contrived, and may have caused him to hesitate a bit longer than he should have a couple times.
Secondary issues gone. I think this one speaks for itself. I'll spare you the hideous laughter…this time.
Down field passing. Ignoring the types of routes, we definitely saw some downfield passing. We even saw a couple completions – one big one to Smith for 72 yards, another to Stoneburner for 40, and one to Philly Brown for 21.
No False Starts. Mali jinxed it again. He just cannot help himself sometimes.
Special Teams Excellence. The coverage teams were solid most of the day, other than one return that required Basil to channel his inner Middle Linebacker. The special teams on a whole, though, were rather…special. Missing an extra point in particular means that I'm going to ding you on this one.
Pick Six. Pick? Yes. Pick in a critical, game-changing/winning moment? Yes. Six? No.
Not Braxton. 94% of the offensive plays depended on Braxton either moving the ball or making a decision with it (h/t to Jeff Amey for the numbers!). He also accounted for 79% of the yardage gained, and all 5 touchdowns (4 passing, 1 running). That's definitely "The Braxton Show" (TM) right there.\
100 yards running from a Buckeye other than Braxton. Jordan Hall came closest with 87 yards, but not even Braxton himself made it to the century mark. He ended with 75 yards on the ground.
Improvement from the Defense. Giving up 500 yards for the first time in Ohio Stadium since 1999, and giving up the longest TD run against a Buckeye defense in Ohio Stadium, and with all the missed tackles….Epic Fail.
A few more receivers step up. Not so many stepped up. Smith picked up 5 receptions for an incredible 145 yards and 2 TDs. Stoneburner also had 2 TDs on 3 receptions, while Brown picked up 3 receptions for 31 yards. Everyone else? No more than 2 for any of the four other targets.
A significant day for Jordan Hall. We sure saw that. Jordan Hall had the majority of the carries with 17 (just more than 50% if you're keeping score at home) and the majority of the rushing yards as well. He's not 100% yet, but that was a significant day to be sure.
A W for Michigan State. Well, I didn't get what I explicitly wanted, but I did get the next best thing. It's fun watching Michigan State fans wallow in misery. It's almost the definition of the gift that keeps on giving.
Dunn grow up fast. One touch, and not even a run, does not qualify as "Dunn growing up fast". Not this week anyway. At best the jury is still out.
The Arrival of the D-Line. Oh they arrived in a big way. Johnathan Hankins is a beast on the inside, and John Simon was a monster despite being hurt. They got winded later, likely due to the coaches not being 100% comfortable with their depth, but the D-Line definitely stepped up.
More passing downs than running downs. Kinda sorta. There were more running plays (33) than passing plays (30). However, you also asked for Miller to have more completions (16) than carries (12), so you were partway there..
Notre Dame getting some early payback. You got your wish. What a massacre.
Pass Rush. Ask and you shall receive. Lots more pressure on the quarterback this week – until they made adjustments and the defensive line got tired, anyway.
Less Carries for Braxton. As I said above, careful what you wish for. 12 carries is inside the range Meyer would like to see, but it seems like it's forcing Braxton to stick with the ball in the pocket longer than is healthy.
Scoring, and Lots of It. Well, they put up the 31 and some, but not by much.
Secondary. The big plays have to stop, eh? I think I know what you're asking for next week, because Santa sure didn't bring it for you on Saturday.
Running game. Considering we still ran the ball more than we threw it, I'll consider that you saw the running game. How effective it was is a different matter. Missing Carlos Hyde hurts a little more than we care to admit at the moment.
No turnovers. We gave up one in a crucial moment. Give the Cal kicker a Buckeye for each one of the field goals he missed, because that saved our bacon on the turnover. We ultimately matched the turnover numbers on the game, and ours turned out to be the more valuable of the two in the end.
Silver Bullets. You ask for better than average defensive play, I give you less than average defensive play – and that's being generous.
Hall-mark moment. He didn't see limited time, but he didn't have a spectacular moment either. A couple decent runs, but did not look to be his full self.
Back to the future. Neither of the two future backs even sniffed the ball on offense.
46 for real? Cal didn't run it exclusively – they didn't even start using it until the 2nd half. When they did, they switched into and out of it intermittently to wreak havoc with Braxton's reads. It was surprisingly successful for the 3rd quarter, and much of the 4th.
Communication breakdown. Get them worked out? Maybe sometime down the line, but not quite yet, no.
Passive aggressive. We got a bit more aggression, but it may have led to a lot worse tackling. Oops.
Get LOUD. As I understand it, it was pretty loud towards the end of the game – when the game was in question of course.
Running Back….anyone? You asked for Dunn to blow the doors off the defense. Jordan Hall was the guy, but it was anything but "blowing the doors off" the defense.
Drive 'em Back. We maybe had that once, but I don't think we would say you got what you wished for here.
APB Out for the Secondary. Oh, the secondary is there. They just don't entirely know what they're doing there.
Continue to Grow. Perhaps this is a better thing to ask for against UAB. The growth may have happened against Cal, but we won't really see it until next week (and hopefully then).
Beat Them Up. Mouth smacking was not so much the problem. Keeping them down afterwards was a bigger issue. Perhaps a bit too much aggression from the defense as a whole?
Braxton Show w/o So Much Braxton. Nope, you got the Braxton Show in all of its glorious glory. The other guys will step up in their own time. If it makes you feel better, though, Devin Smith was definitely the guest star this week.
Tackling- Our second and third level defenders appear to be looking for the knock out hit instead of the the actual wrap up / running through the damn guy. Seeing an opposing player get hit from our defenders and seeing the opposing offensive player spin out or roll out of the tackle is frustrating…..and from reading this past weeks feeds from practice Urban has been addressing it……
Braxton's decision making- there were times where he should have run and didn't( learning curve) …….and there were times he spent all of his energy to pass …..I say keep it simple …..if its a pass play called fine…..but if Braxton sees 10yards of green he needs to go….we've seen what he does to a player one on one in the second and third levels….if these kids were playing on astro turf from 1986 …..he would have blown out a dozen defenders knees/ankles already.
Lastly …..man he is just great to watch. I thought he put the ball consistantly enough to where it needed to be……freaking wide outs need to catch the BALLL!!!!! Or the game would have been alot more lopsided….in our favor.
Penalties- for the love of peat…..is the Shugart ghost still walking the Shoe??…..over 100 yards of penalties…..my god my eyes were bleeding …..that needs addessed Urban….seriously

Nicole Fournier graduated from Milford High School in 2010. While a Hawk she played four years of soccer and softball, as well as three years of basketball. During her senior year she was captain of both the soccer and softball teams for Milford High. During her time at Milford, Fournier participated in the National Honor Society and Spanish National Honor Society, was named a Central Mass All-Star during the 2008-09 season and also earned the Wendy's High School Heisman award her senior year.
When it came time to decide where she wanted to go, Fournier chose Endicott College in Beverly as her destination to play soccer and pursue an education in athletic training. Though Fournier didn't see as much time as she did in high school she made an impact on the 17-7-2 Gulls as she played in all 19 games scoring two goals and grabbing an assist. Fournier plans to continue to contribute to the team in the future as the Gulls will be graduating five seniors.
Fournier is happy to be playing at Endicott, and says that she couldn't have gotten there without the support of her mother and father, along with her best friend, Erica Dunton, and her boyfriend of four-plus years, Brett. In her down time she can be found listening to music, drawing, spending her time outside and enjoying the beaches on the North Shore.
Favorite food: French fries with ketchup
Favorite movie: Taken
Favorite professional or collegiate team: I've always loved the Patriots. I love football. I always wished I could play.
Do you have a favorite athlete or role model? I usually look up to people who I play with, not necessarily professionals, but I will look up to someone I played with and fight to be just as good as them.
What's on your iPod right now? A lot of country music and John Mayer.
What have you been up to since graduating from Milford High School in 2010?
I've been focusing a lot on school [at Endicott] and my major is athletic training. It's one of the harder majors here. I'm also on the college's soccer team. It's been hard. I'm always busy and I'm barely in the [dorm] room because I have a lot of work to do. I've been doing a lot of athletic training hours, working with the athletic trainers here and going out to the men's lacrosse practices and baseball practices. At least that's what I do in the spring time, as well as play the spring season of soccer, so there's a lot going on. In the fall, I have practice every day and games two to three days a week, so it's been pretty good. I'm also a SAAC member, which is a club that has a representative from each sports team here.
What are you looking to study at Endicott and how did you become interested in the major?
I was very unsure what I wanted to do until during preseason this year my knees started to hurt and I went to the training room. They had kind of diagnosed me with patella tendinitis, so I was there a lot doing exercises and I found an interest in the athletic trainers and I loved what they were doing and how much knowledge they knew about the muscles and the bones. I was very interested in it, and with my love for sports, I just thought it would be a perfect fit for me. So far, it is a struggle, but I'm working hard to stay with it and keep up with it, but I really love it a lot.
What was the biggest transition you had to make from playing high school soccer to playing soccer in college?
I would say the biggest transition is playing time. It's just very different with a new team, there are a bunch of new girls—where in high school you're playing with girls you've known since you were 5-years-old. Just being in college, everything is new and it was hard for me to adjust, but over the past few weeks during the spring season I felt better about relationships with teammates and I feel so much more comfortable. It's been a good experience.
I saw that you scored your first collegiate goal against Nichols College, how did that feel?
It was awesome. Scoring that goal brought me back to high school and how I felt whenever I scored and I want to keep doing that. That feeling of putting the ball in the back of the net was awesome, and that's what I want to do for the team in the future, so it was a great feeling.
What made you choose Endicott College in the first place and what other schools were you looking into attending?
I took a lot of things into consideration: I did some research, I looked at the location and I knew I didn't want to go very far—an hour would be perfect. There's actually no one from Milford here at all and when I was looking at what they had as far as majors go—because I was undecided— they had a lot of different things that I could choose from, that I could see myself doing.
I did research on the soccer team as well and I was very impressed, so I came up to visit and the appearance and the atmosphere just made things much better. The people are all friendly and everything just kind of all fell into place. I don't remember what exactly made me come here, but I just had this feeling like, 'I think I love Endicott.'
I also looked into Merrimack, Assumption, Roger Williams and Johnson and Wales.
Can you talk about your Milford High School experience and if you have any favorite moments from your time there.
I always think about my high school experiences as my favorite times, you always have your memories in your head and you always think of the ones that are the most exciting and amazing. My senior year, both senior year games against Algonquin and Shrewsbury are my favorites. Against Algonquin, it was a 1-1 game—and I think I scored the first goal off a throw in, as I headed it into the corner of the net—and it was the last 10 seconds of the game and the ball was thrown in and I knocked it in with my head again for the win. Everyone just went crazy and it was one of those things I'll always remember.
Also, the Shrewsbury game where I scored the first two goals, and specifically, just that second goal, the way it felt scoring against such a big team, I just felt like I had made an impact. So those were my favorite moments I think of all the time, but other than that, I loved every minute of it.

Fishtown Local
Gordon Baird
---- — Appearance or reality?
A Gloucester board plays in its own self-fulfilling fiefdom, moving game pieces around to suit its political machinations and ensure that its self-fulfilling promise comes true, amassing ever more game pieces in the ever-expanding school building jackpot, an ever-expanding target.
Appearance or reality? A 2012 Fuller school Reuse Presentation — commissioned by the city — endorses repurposing the Fuller School building over tearing it down because it was still so structurally sound.
Appearance or reality? Questions by critics and letters to the editor have been raised about deliberate choices within the last 20 months not to heat the building, not to remediate leaks and to otherwise refuse to provide basic building maintenance.
Our elected officials, these critics say, have taken a roughly $17 million city asset — according to the city's assessor's office and the Reuse Presenters — and deliberately let it slide into ruin.
Why? Appearance: to ensure the future $30 million single neighborhood school arises from the ashes of the West Parish School because it had also been let slide into disrepair?
Reality? Who the heck knows anymore. These shells are whipping around at typical shell game warp speed —now you see it, now you don't.
Do the parents really get to decide whether the city goes into hyper-hock to re-outfit all its neighborhood schools one at a time? At perhaps $30 mil a pop? Sure, the state might eventually pay half but is that a reason to ring up an eventual $250 million to a declining elementary school population in five neighborhood schools? And who gets to make that call?
Seems a shame to get rid of what has always been seen as one of Gloucester's best educational assets, Fuller, because of inattentive maintenance, either purposeful or through incompetence. And where were the voices of warning that the chickens of inadequate maintenance would come home to roost? Within the administration or the School Department?
Were they that asleep at the switch or was there a more pressing principle at work here? We went from business as usual to a state of "tear it down" and "it's unsafe for any purpose." How'd that happen so fast? A city campus, fire, police, central school, YMCA — all were possibilities and now ... nothing?
Really, folks, who's in charge here? The folks who depend on puffing up their power base by splurging on maybe $150,000,000 of brand new, small neighborhood schools shouldn't necessarily be the ones making the real estate calls here.
Fiscal reality will hopefully rear its ugly little head. Gloucester can't afford five $30 million schools, period, even with state help. If they keep moving the chips around the table long enough, are they hoping the public will lose focus and just agree to just throwing money at the problem.
In Gloucester there's been a long history of short-term solutions to this problem that have neither resulted in educational improvements or a rising school population. We've seen the modulars come to the city, but isn't their shelf-life expiring soon? What happens when they are over the deadline? Do we have to replace those, too, or build separate new schools?
Eventually, both appearance and reality will have to be addressed — and not by kicking the maintenance can down the road and winning a new school by attrition.
It would be nice if leaders could think 30 or 40 years ahead and think centrally. Just providing blank checks for the new-school-toy-store is not what this school committee and city need to try to fashion a long-term solution. They need a strong dose of vision, some backbone and a good spoonful of reality.
From the outside looking in, the appearance and the reality aren't pretty.
As a taxpayer pouring dollars in, they look downright ugly.
