|Lawmen Notifying Sweepstakes Businesses
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 03 January 2013 13:39
Today, the Watauga Sheriff's Office has visited with the three identified Sweepstakes Game operations in the county, taking the first step to enforcing the state law outlawing the games reinstated last month. Similar action is underway in Avery and Ashe, Sheriff James Williams
of Ashe saying that their notifications give the operators until the end of January to comply, while Sheriff Kevin Frye of Avery says they are looking for machines today to begin enforcement. Frye said they know of no stand-alone Sweepstakes businesses such as the three in Watauga, but action will be taken against anyone operating machines in Avery. The December State Supreme Court ruling reversed the NC Court of Appeals in the matter, and now the 20 days has elapsed before enforcement, meaning the games can now be shut down. Before noon today, Sheriff Len Hagaman visited the local video game businesses, and said two were closed—one with a sign indicating they would be closed a few days to bring their machines into compliance—and one business was locked, but the operator took the letters the Sheriff was serving on each. Reports from across the state show various actions that are now underway, Burke informing the many operators there of the enforcement with hand-delivered letters to be signed by operators before moving in to shut them down, while others will be taking action to close down the games today.

"But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. "
1 Thessalonians 5:1 But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.
1 Thessalonians 5:6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:7 For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians 5:10 who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:12 But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
1 Thessalonians 5:13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 5:14 And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.
1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always,
1 Thessalonians 5:17 pray constantly,
1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit,
1 Thessalonians 5:20 do not despise prophesying,
1 Thessalonians 5:21 but test everything; hold fast what is good,
1 Thessalonians 5:22 abstain from every form of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:24 He who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
1 Thessalonians 5:26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
1 Thessalonians 5:27 I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.
1 Thessalonians 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Imagine being a new principal visiting every student's home and meeting his or her parents before school starts.
Melissa Hamilton, the new principal at Petersen Elementary in Sunnyside not only imagined that, but she also achieved it.
During some of the hottest and sultriest days of summer 2006, the principal went to the homes of all 106 students expected to enroll at the school to spend time with the children and their families.
"It was an experience I will never forget," said Hamilton. "And I hope it helped parents and kids to know me better."
It was an all out effort, much like everything Hamilton has done in her years in the education field.
Hamilton, a 1993 graduate of Carbon High, went directly to Utah State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in three years.
She promptly went directly into one of the toughest assignments any teacher in the state could face when she began her career at Central Middle School in Ogden.
"People don't realize that the center of Ogden is a tough inner city area," explained Hamilton. "But you know what - it was hard, but I learned a lot and found that I love junior high age kids."
After Ogden, the Petersen principal spent two years teaching at St. Vincent's Elementary, a private Catholic school in Salt Lake.
"It was kind of like I went from one end of the scale to the other," she said. "It was during that time that I decided that I wanted to be an administrator."
After two years of working on a master's degree in school administration, Hamilton got through the program only to find herself returning to the local area, where she began her education odyssey, at Carbon High as an assistant principal in 2001.
"It was a great five years," she said. "My mother [Patsy Bueno an assistant superintendent with Carbon District] told me all along I should go into elementary education. Well now here I am."
Hamilton said when she thinks of an elementary school, particularly one in a small area like the east county, she thinks of community.
"That's what it is all about there," she said. "There are a lot of things going on in Sunnyside and East Carbon and I think the energy is very high right now. There is talk about some possible economic development and people are upbeat. Add to that the new elementary school that will be finished for school next year and that will become the center of the community."
All statistical data that one can review on schools confirm that an elementary school in a small community is the lifeblood of those towns.
With the closure of East Carbon High School last year and the subsequent destruction of the building this summer, preparing for the construction of the new elementary school, many eyes are on what will happen this year at Petersen Elementary.
"When we talk about attracting people to a community, we have to consider that people will not come if the school in the town is not top notch," stated Hamilton. "So it is our job, both as a teaching staff and a community, to make Petersen and the new school be just that."
Along with Hamilton come a cadre of new teachers at the school.
Only three teachers remain from past years and many others are transfers from other schools in the district.
There is also one new teacher, Tyler Grundy. For the first time in years, there will be a male teacher in the building.
"Many of the kids at the school need that male model in their lives," stated Hamilton. "This is Tyler's first year of teaching, but he has great enthusiasm and energy."
Hamilton said that all the teachers in the school are so excited about the upcoming year and on top of situation that Hamilton has two aces up her sleeve: an extensive new reading program for which teachers went to a special workshop and a program she calls the Eagle Excellence Program.
"First, everyone was involved in a four-day training program in Salt Lake to help children with reading skills," stated Hamilton. "That attendance was part of a grant the district got for improving reading skills in it's schools. There is a lot of money there for professional development and for materials. Reading truly is fundamental to a good education, and with those home visits I hope I have established a rapport that will help parents to help us improve their kids' performance. We certainly can't do it without them."
The Eagle Excellence Program is based on an idea that Hamilton thought of in the middle of the night.
"Of course, the name comes from the school's mascot," said the principal. "The program will focus on attendance at school, academic performance and kids getting into healthy lifestyles. It will be a school wide reward and discipline system."
Hamilton said besides the reading grant to improve reading skills the school also received a grant for a similar type of math program.
"The truth is that we want to refine our practices and do what is best for the students' education," she said.
The teacher roster is full of experience and energy.
Along with Grundy who will be teaching fourth grade, Carol Labato will teach preschool.
Robin Trujillo will teach kindergarten and Janene Avery will take on the first grade.
Karla Pokraka will teach second, Sandy Bertola will instruct students in third grade. Cathy Milburn will teach fifth grade.
Also in the mix is resource teacher Chris Watkins and reading coach Tisa Manus.
"I think the big message here is that kids will get a top notch education from this staff," said Hamilton. "But everyone has to remember that education needs to reach beyond the walls of the school and into the homes. Parents need to read to their kids and then need their kids to read to them."
As part of the enthusiastic approach to education in the east county area, a Community Night Plus has been scheduled Aug. 16 at the school.
A free dinner will be served starting at 5 p.m. From 6 to 7 p.m. there will be a presentation about the school and what will be happening.
Parents and east county community members are encouraged to attend the event.
"Our emphasis is to get the community involved in this school. We have a lot to offer," concluded Hamilton.

Posted by ffbplayergod on 2/15/2013 9:11:00 AM (view original):Norbert, it seems as if many coaches signed up for more than 1 team. Since you specifically asked that each coach grab just one, is there any chance of taking away that second team from ids with 2 teams?

Despite a rough end to 2012, the Thousand Islands Area Habitat for Humanity will move forward this year with positive thoughts and projects.
Board President Walter H. Plumley said that as board members work to get over the September fire that destroyed two storage trailers and thousands of dollars worth of tools, committees will continue to work diligently at finding available land to build homes for needy families.
The Watertown City Council will consider a resolution Monday to donate city-owned property at 123 Lynde St. to the agency.
This will give us one more property and the only viable building lot well have left, Mr. Plumley said. Were starting a real search to include properties outside of Watertown. City lots arent always available, and were looking at other sources, but nothing yet.
Habitat volunteers are in the midst of constructing a house at 1130 Superior St., where the fire occurred.
Simultaneously, Mr. Plumley said, the board of directors established a year-end campaign in an effort to collect money to help replace some of the $4,700 worth of tools lost in the fire. About $2,500 has been raised so far.
Weve had a great response from the community, Mr. Plumley said. As long as people want to contribute, itll continue. If money isnt earmarked toward tools specifically, it can be used to help build a home.
He said the agency is working with a major supplier and local businesses to see if they may be able to help it obtain tools.
Insurance money covered the cost of only one storage trailer because the deductibles were so high.
Any donation of money, tools or time is appreciated, Mr. Plumley said, because when Habitat accepts applications, more families apply than the agency can help. The more materials, help, dedication and available land it has, the faster the agency can get north country families into homes.
Thats our ultimate goal, Mr. Plumley said.
More information about the agency can be found on its website, www.tiahabitat.org.

What We Do
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has been a national leader in land conservation for more than 40 years. The DNR programs listed in the right hand column are nationally recognized. Other states have modeled these programs to achieve success in their own Land Conservation efforts.
Our purpose is to advance land conservation and outdoor recreational opportunities throughout Maryland. We work to provide sustainable and healthy land resources and ecosystems that serve vital ecological, economic and recreational needs for Maryland citizens - both now and into the future.
We partner with local governments, conservation groups and land trusts to meet state goals for land conservation and outdoor recreational opportunities.
Our philosophy is based on Maryland's Green Infrastructure. We participate in and support Maryland's Smart Growth, GreenPrint and BayStat initiatives.
With support from DNR's Office of Sustainability, DNR has recently launched a new approach to land conservation, with a goal of improving how land acquisitions are targeted, as well as more efficient coordination of land planning efforts.
Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan 2014-2018
The Land Preservation and Recreation Plan is prepared every five years to identify essential and contemporary issues impacting outdoor recreation and natural resource protection in Maryland. This Plan was developed using public input gathered through surveys, stakeholder meetings and thorough analysis of national, state and local issues impacting recreation and natural resource conservation.
The Land Preservation and Recreation Plan will help guide land conservation and development of outdoor recreation opportunities over the next five years and builds upon the America's Great Outdoors Initiative to include proactive approaches to address critical issues identified in the planning process. The Plan aims to: provide Maryland's citizens and visitors with safe and easily accessible amenities; encourage the enjoyment and stewardship of Maryland's natural world; and balance outdoor recreation land use with natural and cultural resource protection. It also serves as Maryland's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and qualifies the state to receive funding through the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund.

The SMOA ARTmuse Program
We often view artwork in museum and gallery settings but rarely encounter the artists themselves. The opportunity to learn about the path the artist took to create the art is not available to us. SMOA's ARTmuse Program takes a different approach. This innovative and engaging series brings renowned artists and art professionals to our area to share their personal stories, their expertise and their creative journeys. ARTmuse gives our community the rare ability to interact with these extraordinary individuals and explore the ways in which they transform, interpret, adapt and respond to the world around them through their art.
These interactive encounters offer ARTmuse audiences of all ages compelling glimpses into the creative process. As active participants, we investigate ways art expresses shared human experiences. We learn how artists communicate deeply personal truths. Even better, these artists are happy to answer questions and demonstrate their art-making process. The result is an exciting interchange between artist and audience. We see that art isn't theoretical, remote and academic. We come away from these encounters realizing how deeply personal the process of creation is. We also see the results. During each artist's visit, some pieces of their work are exhibited at Sarasota High School. When their artwork is displayed in the entry of the future home of the museum, the vision of the Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA is revealed.
Imagine that you are part of the vast potential of SMOA!

"From the Verbal to the VisuaI"
Lesley Dill's world of artistic invention gives physical presence to the written word. Her unique emotional expressions include sculpture, installations, prints, drawings and paintings. Her visual metaphors interpret verbal communication, amplifying the deeper meaning of language through her expressive and exquisite works of art. To quote Lesley, "Language is my touchstone, the pivot point of all my work." Lesley magically transforms a multitude of materials into stunning similes. Her poetic imagery merges form and content, creating a contemplative, expressive and spiritual journey for the viewer to explore.
Patrick Dougherty | ARTmuse 2013
"The Magic of Sticks"
Born and raised in the woodlands of North Carolina, Patrick Dougherty has always appreciated nature, trees, sticks, vines and branches. From this love of nature his Stickwork developed. He has completed more than 236 sculptures in museums/galleries/public and private spaces worldwide and is still going strong. Examining each location carefully before beginning the work, he seeks to sense the history of the site as he considers the effect of his sculpture. Naturally and almost magically his phenomenal twisting, swirling Stickwork sculpture arises. Says Patrick: "l make sure that each approach to the sculpture presents passersby with a tantalizing view that compels a closer look."
Janet Echelman | ARTmuse 2012
"Taking Imagination Seriously"
Janet Echelman reshapes the urban airspace around the world. She creates monumental, fluidly moving sculptural forms constructed from highly sophisticated materials of woven fibers. Janet's floating netted sculptures are forever changing shape as they respond to the slightest stirring of the atmosphere. Mesmerized by the sculptures' motion, people from major cities to small towns gaze upward with delight witnessing the magical, responsive movements these delicate lace-like sculptures have to the wind, the rain, the snow or the sunshine. Her work transforms our familiar everyday landscape into a seemingly new space.

"Synthesis of Dimensions"
Judy Pfaff is a pioneer of installation art and a prolific printmaker. She continues to invent and explore new materials in combination with traditional mediums. Her work embodies concepts of two- and three-dimensional space. Judy's artwork seems to expand and collapse simultaneously as she focuses on creating an emotional as well as a visual experience for viewers. Working spontaneously, she incorporates an array of unique materials creating a dynamic image. To quote Judy, "l'm really trying to get something really emotional and murky—more sensation and emotion than an idea."
Seth Randal | ARTmuse 2011
"The Sparkle of Glass"
Seth Randal is a master of contemporary sculpture in glass. With courageous perseverance, he reinvented the ancient technique of casting glass. His admiration for the ideals of classical beauty informs his imagery. The love of color and light led him to create a body of magnificent glass sculpture, which includes historic, modern and imagined forms. Seth's concepts emanate from urn-like forms to heroic figures and heads. His valiant portrayals are symbolic of the highest aspiration of human consciousness, representing timeless beauty captured in the shimmering delicacy of glass.

What's next for Johan Santana?
In last night's 6-4 loss to the Nationals, Johan Santana allowed six runs and seven hits with four strikeouts in only five innings.
Santana became the first pitcher in club history to allow six or more runs in five consecutive starts.
"Early in the game his command was good, but just all of a sudden he left some balls over the plate. I thought he was very good. … There is a light at the end of the tunnel because you know he is healthy."
Santana fell to 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA in 21 starts this season – Santana has lost his last five starts and has a 15.63 ERA in only 19 innings over that span.
Dan Warthen indicated there will be a discussion taking place as to whether or not the team will shutdown Santana for the remainder of the season.
"Certainly we'll talk about it," Warthen said. "Sandy and Terry and I will go in, and we'll talk. But I was so encouraged by the outing tonight, outside of the score and us losing. But the first three innings being perfect baseball, and we're seeing a strong, solid, average fastball."
Santana didn't dismiss the possibility of being shutdown for the remainder of the season.
"I don't know. The next outing, we'll see what the whole situation will be," Santana explained. "Right now, I feel fine. We'll see the next couple days what they have to say, or what we are going to do. … Whatever they want to do, as long as it works out for everybody in the long term, I think it will be fine."
Since his no-hitter on June 1, Santana has gone 3-7 with a 8.27 ERA over ten starts, and is averaging just under five innings per start over that span.
Michael Baron, ContributorFor the first time since he's been here, Santana did not sound like a man with a lot of confidence last night. The fact he wouldn't dismiss being shutdown is indicative of that, or some other problem. I trust that he's healthy, considering he has consistent fastball velocity and he keeps running himself out there. And, as Warthen said, Santana was vintage for the first three innings, getting his change-up to dive down through the strike zone and he had outstanding movement on his fastball on both sides of the plate. But the wheels fell off the wagon after that, and he lost complete command of everything that came out of his hand yet again.
At this point, the team has no choice but to consider shutting him down for the rest of the season. They have to find a way to maximize what they can get out of Santana and the $31 million they have invested in him for next season – running him out there when he may not have much left in the tank might not be the best way to do that. On the flip side, as both Gary Cohen and Ron Darling suggested last night, if they do in fact shut Santana down, there's no way for him to work his way out of this funk, nor would he have the ability to evolve into the pitcher he needs to become in order to extend his career. It's not an envious position to be in by any means, and I don't think either option is particularly great. In either case, there's no question Santana has reached a low point and a crossroad of sorts in his career. Whether it's now or next season, he will have to make some key adjustments going forward in order to be an effective Major League pitcher going forward.

Sylvia Boorstein, Psychology
Sylvia BoorsteinPsychology 1974
"I'd like to think that I'm an 'edge' person," says Sylvia Boorstein, "a person who crosses boundaries." That's an apt self-assessment from a person who has never shied away from untested ideas. Boorstein taught one of the first women's studies courses in the country in the early 1970s. She also began practicing and teaching yoga in the 1960s, long before it became popular in the United States.
And along the way, she earned one of the first doctorates ever awarded by Saybrook. "I think I was the sixth or seventh," says Boorstein, who at 71 is a best-selling author of books about meditation and a teacher of Buddhism at the world-renowned Spirit Rock Meditation Center. "I was at Saybrook before the school was even accredited. But that wasn't important to me. The 1970s were a time of exploration of consciousness, and here was this group doing nontraditional things."
Boorstein was a nontraditional student and an avid explorer of consciousness --- perfect fit. She had studied chemistry and math as an undergraduate at Barnard College in New York, then earned a master's in social work at Berkeley. At the time she started thinking about a doctorate, she was a practicing social worker, a part-time faculty member at the College of Marin, and a yoga instructor. She also was a political activist who marched for women's rights and against the Vietnam War. And she was an observant Jew who happened to be devoted to the teachings of the Buddha.
"There weren't many doctoral programs who would be willing to have me as a student," laughs Boorstein. "But Saybrook had a loose structure, and I was spurred on by that."
The place wasn't even known as Saybrook in the early 1970s, when Boorstein arrived; it was called The Humanistic Psychology Institute. She sought her Ph.D. after being turned down for a full-time faculty position. The person who did get the job had a doctorate from Berkeley, and Boorstein feared her career would stall out if she didn't acquire some better credentials. Her advisor at Saybrook was Eleanor Criswell, one of the university's founders and a pioneering teacher of yoga, meditation, and humanistic psychology.
"I made my own program, as we did in the early days," she says. "I wrote my dissertation on yoga as a gentle psychiatric tool. I had three categories of students: adults, senior citizens, and children --- even very young ones. So I devised a research document, a survey for my students about their experience, and that became the centerpiece of my dissertation."
Boorstein received her Ph.D. in 1974. After leaving Saybrook she continued to teach at the College of Marin while increasing her focus on the practice of meditation. She studied with Jack Kornfeld, whom she met at Saybrook, and began attending periodic retreats with a group of colleagues in Northern California. In the 1990s that group evolved into the acclaimed Spirit Rock Meditation Center, where the Dalai Lama himself paid a visit a few years ago.
Boorstein also began writing prolifically. Her first, It's Easier than You Think: The Buddhist Way to Happiness, appeared in 1995 to critical acclaim; she followed it up the following year with Don't Just Do Something --- Sit There. Both books covered the ins and outs of meditation, Buddhism, and mindfulness, which Boorstein referred to in one interview as "a Sabbath of the mind" and, in another, as "the balanced recognition of the truth of the moment."
"Anyone can practice mindfulness," she says. "You don't have to be a Buddhist scholar, you don't have to take courses. This is something that comes to us naturally; it's just a question of slowing down and deciding to do it."
Her third book, That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist (1997), addressed her unusual dual religious view. Boorstein was born Jewish and has never left the faith; she has always considered herself a practicing Jew. Yet she has made the Buddha's teachings her life's study and has been spreading them for 40 years. Does Boorstein wrestle with her identity as a result?
"Never," she says. "I'm a person who crosses boundaries, and I also believe that not all the boundaries we draw are meaningful. I was raised Jewish and am still connected to Judaism; I'm a member of a congregation. I also am someone who is inspired by Buddhism. It has changed me as person."
She looks back on Saybrook the same way, as a turning point --- a life-changing episode that coincided with a transformative era in society. "The 1960s were a time of experimentation," she says. "Saybrook grew out of that, and that spirit was still very present when I attended. It was a perfect place for me to be at that time in my life."

For 19 years , UW law students
have benefited from the expertise
and experience of the hundreds of
judges and attorneys who serve as
professional mentors .
"We originally started out with mentors for students
of color," said former Assistant Dean Sandra Madrid.
"Many were first-generation law students or had no
lawyers in their families or exposure to anyone in
the legal field."
Madrid felt having mentors would assist the students
in their legal journey, and she was right. For
many students, mentors are their first contacts with
"people who have been through it." They provide
guidance as students adjust to the often overwhelming
demands of their first year in law school. As
practicing lawyers, whether in private, government,
or public service positions, mentors offer insight
into the wide range of careers open to graduates.
They make themselves available and offer advice on
courses to take, externships to explore, and legal
issues found in the curriculum.
Associate Dean Mary Hotchkiss and Assistant Dean
Naomi Sanchez share the responsibility of assigning
students to mentors. They look for common
interests or similar backgrounds when making their
matches. Washington Court of Appeals Judge Ronald
Cox '73, for example, served in the Army, and
his most recent mentee, James Proctor, was in the
Navy. Lianne Caster '03, who works at Stoel Rives
in Seattle and received her master's degree from
Brandeis University, was paired with Alia Kaneko, a
Brandeis graduate. Those types of connections help
break the ice during the initial meeting and establish
a platform from which to build good mentor-mentee
"The connection between law school and law
practice was remote when I was a student," said
Judge Cox. Cox has helped bridge that gap for current
students by inviting Proctor and his entire class
to watch oral arguments in the Court of Appeals.
Afterwards, the students joined Cox in his chambers
to discuss what they had learned and observed.
Cox has the added insight of someone who transitioned
from the military to civilian life, a definite
plus for Proctor, who served in the Navy for 21 years.
"In the Navy, regulations are set, but the law
can be ambiguous," Proctor said. "Judge Cox
understands that. He is motivational and generous
with his time and willingness to help. He kept me
from getting too anxious as I adjusted to law and
law school."
Cox also teaches appellate advocacy at the law
school, mentors high school students, and is actively
involved in the King County Bar Association's Future
of the Law Institute. He first became a mentor 16
years ago because "I do what Sandra [Madrid] tells
me to do" and remains in contact with many of his
mentees long after they leave law school.
"Law school requires a new way of thinking,"
Cox said. "I'm here to tell them
things will get easier. I encourage
them to send me an email if
they have a question or problem,
and they take me up on it."
Cox, who has been with the
program almost since the beginning,
did not benefit from having
a mentor, but Lianne Caster
remembers her mentor quite
"My match was with Judge
Harriet Cody, and she was fantastic,"
Caster said. "I had no
lawyers in my family, no established
path through law school.
She was a terrific resource."
That personal experience led
Caster to become a mentor
when she graduated in 2003.
She noted the impact of the
Washington's anti-affirmative
action initiative, I-200, and how
it negatively affected minority
enrollment. Today, as president
of the Korean American Bar Association
of Washington and law
school mentor, Caster works with
minority students who often lack role models in the
legal field.
"Today, the first-year students are particularly
concerned about the economy," she noted. "I encourage
them to network, and I help them figure
out what kinds of classes they should take to be the
kind of lawyer they want to be."
Kaneko met Caster for the first time at the annual
mentor-mentee reception held in downtown
Seattle in September 2008. Shortly thereafter, Caster
invited her to the Vietnamese Bar Association of
Washington's annual banquet and introduced her to
colleagues in the legal community. During a lunch
meeting, Caster offered her perspective on working
for a law firm and how Kaneko could best use her
legal training to advocate for people who are homeless
or low-income.
"She gave me excellent advice on what courses
would be most helpful and what I should be looking
for in extracurricular activities," Kaneko said. "She
helped me look at my summer and the benefits of
working in different places to hone my skills. She
took the edge off the craziness of law school."
As the lawyer recruiting and diversity manager
at Stoel Rives, Caster can offer specific guidance on
identifying career opportunities for her mentees.
She encourages them to be proactive in looking
at employers and understanding their policies and
workplace culture. She answers questions about
billable hours, private practice, and balancing work
and family. An appointee to the Washington State
Bar Association Committee for Diversity, she also
has insight into misunderstandings in the workplace
because of cultural differences.
"It can be alienating if you're the only person of
color at your workplace," she said. "Even in Seattle,
you can hear inappropriate comments."
Caster believes that strong mentoring programs
educate law students about the importance of
mentorship for a successful career path, which helps
advance diversity in the legal profession overall.
Today, the Professional Mentorship Program has
a vast cadre of mentors from diverse backgrounds
as well as all areas of the legal profession—federal,
state, and local judges and lawyers from the public,
private, nonprofit, and government sectors. Because
mentors have such a wide range of experiences
and areas of expertise, law school staff can match
mentors with students who come to law school
with various interests and goals. The program thus
establishes the foundation upon which professional
mentors can build relationships and provide support
to students as they adjust to the rigors of law
school and make decisions about their futures. All
first-year School of Law students benefit from the
encouragement, insight, and dedication of professional
The School of Law's commitment to the success of
all students was at the heart of the development of
the Professional Mentorship Program. It has reached
its goal.

It's official- yesterday evening Avery County Sheriff Kevin Frye announced the body of 16-year-old Nicholas "Chad" Hicks had been located.Hicks was found at approximately 1:45 p.m. yesterday. Hicks and a friend had been swimming Sunday when Hicks went under the water and did not resurface.
Hicks is survived by his father, Teddy Wayne Hicks, mother Deborah Ann Whicker, four sisters and a brother.
In a statement yesterday, Frye encouraged those with the jurisdiction to do so to make the Elk River Falls area off limits for swimmers.
Several teams assisted in the recovery effort, including area fire and rescue departments and dive teams from as far away as Asheville.

Ooh I love this recipe! I haven't made this for a while but now I'm ready to eat my screen. Too bad I have meals planned out until next Thursday. :) Congrats on the book! Looking forward to hearing more from you on the blog.

I usually make http://shouldhavezagged.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/italian-roast-beef-sandwiches with beef + pepperoncinis but I like knowing there's a simpler version that works. Thanks!

A version of this was my son's go-to party recipe when he was in college. Still is. Big slow cooker, big chunk 'o meat, a jar of pepperocini, and maybe a jar of salsa. Served help-yourself style with hearty rolls and cheese. Fed an army of hungry men, and lasted all afternoon/evening in the pot, ready for another hunger attack. Even better the next day if anything happened to be left over. Also worked the morning after mixed into scrambled eggs.

Are you kidding me?! This looks SO yummy! I can't wait to try it!

- Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...
This is why I LOVE the slow cooker. For easy sandwiches like this! I don't even know what pepperoncini tastes like? Can't be that bad. Thanks!

- Emily @CreativeDisaster said...
My friend told me about this and it is SO good! Like unreal good! We used big French rolls and provolone!

Steph, I've done something similar... but toss in an envelope of onion soup mix too. Mmmm, mmmm, good! :)

Adding to menu plans, Steph--thank you!!! Oh, and you totally deserve all the goodness coming your way!

This sounds so easy. Thank you. I can't wait to start cooking from your new book.
I bought 2 of them, one is a gift for my son's girlfriend who is working her way through your first book.

I love peperoncini peppers. What a great combo! Might need to pull this one out for football game company.
- January 6, 2011 at 2:33 PM
- Kennedy's said...
Ok, ok. My hubby somehow mind-beamed this to you right? He has an obession with everything pepperoncini and this would be a dream for him! His b.day is the 22nd and I am totally going to surprise him with this for supper!
- January 6, 2011 at 3:10 PM
- DesertHen said...
Seriously! This recipe will make my hubby happy since he loves those peppers!
I have always been a fan of the crock pot, but didn't use it as much as I could.
I bought your new book last weekend while shopping in the big city. They didn't have your first book, so will have to order it on-line. I have made three crock pot meals from the second book this week and even tweaked one of my own recipes to use in the cp as well. I'm also new to the gf world, so I'm loving your recipes!!
Thank you...you ROCK!!

- squawmama said...
Love this recipe... have been making it for years and some times I put a twist on it by adding a thickener to the juice along with sliced mushrooms & onions... any way you cook it, it is a winner winner dinner...

I had heard about your site and wanted to check it out for myself. I'm glad I did. I love the food and recipes you share with your readers. I'll be back to track what you've been cooking. I hope the new year brings a large measure of health and happiness your way. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

My husband will love this!!
- January 6, 2011 at 4:27 PM
I love your blog sooo much. I browse it every day. And you often make me laugh out loud. I'll have to try this recipe for sure.

We make this with a jar of jalepenos instead of pepperoncini and it's DELICIOUS even without the bread.
- January 6, 2011 at 5:36 PM
- Natalie said...
Oh I make something like this and it is delicious! But, I call them brisket tacos!!! We serve them on tortillas. I take a brisket (3 lbs), 2 chicken bullion cubes, 1 jar of pepperocinis with juice, 1 packet of dry italian dressing seasoning, and 2 cups of water. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
- January 6, 2011 at 5:58 PM
- Sweet and Savory said...
What a easy, simple recipe! And congrats on your 2nd book!
- January 6, 2011 at 6:33 PM
- Kristi said...
Yum. My husband loves (read is obsessed with) pepperoncinis and he loves steak. Win. Thanks!
- January 6, 2011 at 7:38 PM
I have made these a while now, one of my fav recipes. So so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- January 6, 2011 at 7:45 PM
- wearethesheppards said...
This has been a family recipe of ours for decades! We do not include the cheese though. INSTEAD, we make a sour cream/horseradish concoction and it's fabulous!
- January 6, 2011 at 7:45 PM
- Alicia said...
Oh my gosh..I'll have to do this!!!!
- January 6, 2011 at 7:54 PM
Oh, I <3 this recipe!! I make a similar version of this about 2x a month. I use a can of beef broth/consumme and packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix along with the peppers. It makes enough juice to dip - au jus style! DELISH!!! Thank you for posting!
- January 6, 2011 at 8:00 PM
- ChiTown Girl said...
We've been making a version of this for years that we like to call "Spicy Beef." Instead of a jar of pepperoncini, we use a jar of giardiniera (sp?) SO yummy!
- January 6, 2011 at 10:18 PM
- Brandi said...
I love to add some beef broth and minced garlic to ours. We serve it on toasted rolls with melted provolone. I've served this at Superbowl for several years and it always gets rave reviews.

We used to make Steak-Umms when i was little! hahaha Not quite up to par with these bad boys!
- January 7, 2011 at 3:06 AM
- Atwood-Family of 4 said...
Sounds really great! We'll have to make these!
- January 7, 2011 at 5:46 AM
I've been making this for years and its awesome! I always start with frozen beef as well. The only difference between mine and the recipe listed above is that I use Giardiniera (regular - not hot) instead of the pepperoncini. Either way would be great tho!
- January 7, 2011 at 8:28 AM
- glutenfreeforgood said...
I love gluten-free tang and spice! And even green things! This looks great and I do like the idea of easy. Just did my one-click ordering at Amazon and bought your new book. God help me, I'm so addicted to Amazon.com, but your books look well worth it! By the way, I love the cover art. Can't wait to see it in real life. =)
- January 7, 2011 at 10:55 AM
- Snoopyfan said...
This is similar to a recipe I have used for a few years, but a lot simpler/healthier. Also, we loved the shredded pork recipe from a few weeks back (awesome on rolls with a little extra sauerkraut!)
- January 7, 2011 at 11:15 AM
- Jen said...
I love this recipe, been making it for years. I do either cut off the stems or buy the pre-sliced peppers. Easiest recipe on the planet. We have it on GF rolls or over mashed potatoes with corn. Mmmm....
- January 7, 2011 at 12:18 PM
- Shawnnita said...
Hi there, I'm just wondering if the peperoncini are the hot sour ones?
I haven't had this in years but I've never made it myself. I'd love to serve this up some night for my husband, self and kids!
Looks So YUM!
- January 7, 2011 at 4:18 PM
I made this for dinner tonight, and I enjoyed it quite a bit! I ate a large sandwich, and gave some of it away. I liked how the peppers gave it just a bit of extra flavor, and the bite was nice. I did not cut of the stems of the peppers, but picked them out at the end of the cooking process - they just fell off the rest of the pepper.
- January 7, 2011 at 5:33 PM
- RuthAnn said...
Love this! I make one similar - tri tip (or big chuck roast) dump a large can of mild green encilade sauce over it, and cook on low for 10 hours.
- January 7, 2011 at 7:12 PM
- Kimberly said...
Steph, love your site! I also have a similar recipe with drained peperoncini and a few more ingredients (Italian dressing mix packet, beef broth, Italian herb seasoning). Though I'll have to try this one sometime. My husband is a hunter and I'm always looking for a new way to make venison - especially in a crockpot, since it keeps the meat so moist.
I discovered your site a few days ago and I am so excited to try your recipes - especially your orange chicken, Thai beef, and falafel! I love how you make ethnic recipes so easy!
- January 8, 2011 at 6:24 AM
- Preppy Pink Crocodile said...
I'm not able to eat beef but I have some pork in my freezer that might marry well with this sammy. Thanks!
- January 8, 2011 at 11:42 AM
- Watercolors by Susan Roper said...
STephanie...I made this yesterday and it is over-the-top good and is so easy! I love the taste of pepperoncinis but don't like to spend the time cutting off the stems and draining out the seeds. Once the meat was done in this recipe I just pulled the stems away from the peppers and it was like the seeds disappeared or something...no crunch!
The taste of this is marvelous and clean-up a snap since I always use crock pot liners. Thanks for the idea!
- January 9, 2011 at 6:32 AM
I made this last night...my husband does not like different things and he loved these...did not tell him about the peppers, but the best compliment of all " you can make this again!" Loved it!.I may try this with pulled pork too!
- January 9, 2011 at 7:17 AM
- Granny's Daughter said...
I'm not familiar with peperoncini. Can somebody describe the taste? Also, what's in the liquid? Vinegar? Salt water? Thanks.
- January 9, 2011 at 5:36 PM
First off, you are absolutely hilarious! This recipe looked so yummy I went out to buy the ingredients today and a smaller crockpot somehow managed to jump into my shopping basket as well ~ a family of 6 really should have at least three crockpots, right?
By the way, I discovered your blog last night in my search for a way to make yogurt without a yogurt maker ~ can't wait to try your posted recipe. My finger is one click away from ordering your books.
THANK YOU so much for sharing all of your recipes, discoveries, and humorous experiences with us!
- January 9, 2011 at 7:49 PM
Another gluten free idea: Shred this meat on top of (crockpot) baked sweet potatoes. That is how we are eating it this week :D This may replace our usual BBQ beef topping.

Made this yesterday. My daughter took one bite and announced she had a new birthday dinner favorite! Everyone thought this was over-the-top delicious!
GREAT recipe!

- Tasty Eats At Home said...
Oh MY that looks good!
- January 10, 2011 at 12:21 PM
Made this last night... YUM! We used provolone (because in my addled brain that's what I thought you said to buy...) and it was delish!
Thanks and good luck Wednesday! You'll knock 'em dead - whatever you decide to make!
- January 10, 2011 at 1:03 PM

I made this the other night and all I can say is..... YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
My family LOVED these! Thank you!

Had to come back and post again about how wonderful this was! We had left overs so we heated them up tonight to serve over rice.. hubby got the idea to pull out the left over Tomato Bacon soup I'd made over the weekend (my recipe is on my mostly neglected blog at http://bookladydavina.blogspot.com/2010/11/recipe-time-tomato-bacon-soup.html) and he mixed some of that in as well.. it was so good, both with and without the tomato soup, but the soup gave it a smokey smoothness and balanced the vinegar a smidge more. It was a fantastic way to use up left overs!
- January 13, 2011 at 9:26 PM
- M Smith said...
Made this the other night (it made a lot!) and hubby loved it then. Well, then he discovered that it makes good meat for nachos. He's asked me to make it again this weekend for he and guys when they watch football...
- January 14, 2011 at 11:45 AM
- Amber said...
Just made this and it was great! I just read that M Smith used the meat for nachos, whata great idea! We will have to try that too.
- January 18, 2011 at 8:23 AM
So delicious and super easy to make. We ate the stems on the peperoncini no prob. Salted the top of the beef with garlic and ginger before I ran out the door for work... gave it a bit of a crust! Will definitely be making again - bf raved about it and we liked the flavors much more than pulled pork flavored with bbq sauce. Next time we'll have some better cheese to top it with (not the shredded tex mex from the night before haha).
- January 20, 2011 at 5:02 PM
I recently found your blog, and I'm in LOVE!! This recipe is so easy and yummy. I'm a single lady that works 12 hr shifts (as a nurse), and its so nice to come home to a cooked meal!
- January 20, 2011 at 8:13 PM
Why didn't I read this before I did the shopping? We don't have peperoncini on hand--and while there are chuck roasts in the freezer, they were ON SALE and I didn't buy more because we already had some.
Curse you, cruel fate!
- January 21, 2011 at 9:53 AM
- Sandy said...
OMG... this was soooooooooo delicious! I made it for dinner the other night and my husband just raved about it. I served it on bolillo rolls which I cut in half, slathered with the meat mixture, then topped with provolone cheese and put them under the broiler for a few minutes. It was even better the next day. I will be making this for my Super Bowl party in a few weeks. Thanks so much for this great recipe... I really need to buy your books!

My hubby's birthday is Sat. and this is totally cookin' away in the crockpot- he loves pulled beef sandwhiches and peperoncinis (altho he calles him those yellow pepper things). Happily, last week pot roasts were on sale (@ Publix via Southern Savers) and THIS week, peperoncinis were on sale! Woohoo! crockpot+couponing+ hubby= awesome :)
- January 21, 2011 at 8:19 PM
- Leslie said...
Made this for dinner tonight -- oh, YUM!!!! The family really enjoyed it! It had a bit more kick than anticipated, but it didn't stop people from having seconds. We served it up with some sweet potato french fries -- a nice sweet contrast to the beef! Thanks for sharing!!
- January 23, 2011 at 6:11 PM
My cousin sent me your blog because my son and I are gluten free too. I made this recipe with our fresh 'beefalo' chuck roast. It was fabulous. I put it on low in the slow cooker before going to bed. The next morning I pulled out the bones and fat, then let it continue to cook while at church. Came home, pulled out the peppers and chopped them returning 1/2 to the pot and put the 1/2 in a bowl to use as desired. I had mine on corn tortillas with 1/2 a slice of Swiss cheese. Fabulous!! My husband LOVED it too...just the right amount of hot! Thank you!
- January 27, 2011 at 7:27 AM
- Andrea said...
These sandwiches are CRAZY good! Love them! I made them for my kids' family birthday party, and they were a big hit. So easy, too! Thanks! I'll be posting the recipe to my blog one of these days. Definitely want to share the love! :)
- January 31, 2011 at 10:09 AM
This is so yummy! We had this last week. Thanks Steph for making my life easier!
- February 1, 2011 at 5:53 PM
- Swistle said...
Paul was all "bleh" about the idea of this, because he associates chuck roast with his mom's Sunday dinners (cooked tough + tons of onion + forced to eat it + childhood = poor memory). But then he took a bite and just about lost his mind. He ate so much he felt sick. I bought another chuck roast this week and the grocery store was ALL OUT of peperoncinis---probably because of THIS recipe!
- March 28, 2011 at 4:48 AM
- MelfromMI said...
If you need a little more kick for this recipe, try this version.
rump roast
16 oz jar of italian giaardinera with the oil drained
1 jar of peppericinis
1 envelope of Good seasons zesty italian dressing mix
1 can of beef broth
cook over night ( yes overnight ) serve on french rolls & your favo cheese.
- June 18, 2011 at 1:30 PM
We tried this recipe for the first time tonight and it was perfect. The peppers were sweet and added a little heat without overpowering. The meat was perfect on simple hamburger buns with a slice of Swiss cheese. Thanks for posting something so simple and delicious!
- July 5, 2011 at 4:53 PM
- SciFiLeslie said...
Made this today. It was a welcome dinner after being out of the house all day. I used a jar of the sliced peperoncinis and just dumped them and the liquid in on top of a frozen roast. My husband was a bit skeptical, but was won over by the end result. Even my 6 year old ate his sandwich (and did not pick out the peppers!
- July 10, 2011 at 6:35 PM
- Jaime said...
I just did tried this recipe over the weekend and it was awesome! My son and hubs loved it and it wasn't too spicy for our younger girls. Meat is tender, juicy and flavorful!
- July 18, 2011 at 11:10 AM
I just found out about your blog on fb and I love it! This is the first recipe I've made from it..made it for Sunday lunch. My son is autistic and likes what is "familiar" to him. I did not show him the peppers..only made the sandwich and gave it to him. He repeated over and over..."Can I have more? Can I eat this every day?"!! We loved it! Thanks for the recipes! Crockpots Rule!
- September 5, 2011 at 4:06 PM
- 2muchstuff2day said...
This is the easiest recipe I have tried off your blog yet! So delicious! I watch salt content and not all peperocini jars are created equal :( however the one I picked made the beef taste so yummy!
- September 11, 2011 at 4:33 PM
- Janice said...
I just wanted to say that we LOVE this recipe. I haven't had a lot of success with the slow cooker but we keep trying and this recipe gets made over and over. It's great for busy gaming nights when I have friends over but don't want to stop visiting in order to prepare a meal.
- December 31, 2011 at 2:17 PM
- Lindsey said...
I use a similar recipe (found on Crockin'Girls). Great if you're short on time.
1 lb deli roast beef, thin sliced
1 jar sliced peppernocci
1 c beef broth
1 pkt dry italian dressing mix
cover and cook on high 1-2 hours, until meat is hot. Serve on deli buns/rolls
- January 4, 2012 at 10:15 AM
- Emma said...
I know that I am a little behind on this but, I just made this recipe yesterday and loved it! I was a little doubtful because I do not particularly like peppercinis or vinegar (that they are usually packed in) But, it came out awesome! It added a nice bite to the meat and made it super tender. We had it on toasted bread with cheese melted on top. It was wonderful! I love my crockpot and two ingredient recipes. You rock!
- February 6, 2012 at 9:22 AM
Made this last night and it was a hit with the adults! Supper easy. I did find the meat that was not in liquid to be less moist. Maybe my crock... So next time I might try reducing cook time to 7 hours. I did remove the lid once during cooking to spoon juices over the top of the meat.
- June 15, 2012 at 11:35 AM
- Deanna Foote said...
I wasn't sure I'd like this, mainly because I worried that the pepper taste would be too strong, but wowza! This was sooo good, even my picky husband craves these sandwiches now. I use chuck steaks or roasts frozen, add a little garlic powder to the meat and that's it. These are probably our favorite slow-cooker recipe. Thanks!
- June 19, 2012 at 1:57 PM

I make this recipe so much, I finally had to write about it! http://kitchen-garden-love.blogspot.com/2012/07/crockpot-shredded-peperoncini-beef.html
- July 24, 2012 at 11:45 AM
- Christy said...
I was excited to try this recipe since it seems SO easy. Unfortunately, the instructions above don't say to drain the jar of peperocinis. I've never purchased peperocinis before and was unsure of what to do. It was SO SO SOOOOO SALTY. DRAIN THE PEPPERS PEOPLE! Will probably try again after awhile and promise to comment again.
- August 1, 2012 at 2:42 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Christy,
I'm so sorry you had this experience! I didn't drain the peppers--- the juice was poured in right along. I promise that if I ever want something drained I'll let you know.
that said, I hate it that you found this too salty. It hasn't been my experience, but I feel horrible that it was yours.
thank you for letting me/us know. oxxo
- August 1, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Hi Steph,
I really like your site and glad that I found it in the google search. I have tried lot of your recipes and everyone in the family liked it. Have a question about this recipe. Can I use chicken instead of beef, because we don't eat beef.
- September 13, 2012 at 12:18 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Susan,
Of course! Shred the meat completely after it's been cooked, and stir it around in the juice to keep it nice and moist for your sandwiches.
- September 13, 2012 at 12:21 PM
Thanks Steph will give it a try and let you know. Planning to use chicken thighs.
- September 14, 2012 at 8:36 AM
- Toni said...
If you're short on time could you cook this on high? If so, how long would you cook it for??
- October 4, 2012 at 9:31 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Toni,
sure thing. Do high for 4-5 hours, then shred the meat completely.
- October 4, 2012 at 9:43 AM
- Dani D said...
I have made this recipe for years... it's SO GREAT. The person that gave me the recipe told me to also add a packed of McCormick's au jus gravy. DELISH!

This is one of my families favorite recipes. I often make it when I have company because I know exactly how it'll turn out. Even after all this time (been a follower since your first month posting) I look at your blog weekly for crockpot recipes.

Big turnovers and a varsity lacking experience make establishing a starting line-up tough for a coach. This is pretty much what Coach Gerald Upwall is feeling again this season as his squad takes the field for their pre-season action. First they were tested hard as the powerful 4A Uintah rolled into town.
Uintah had their way with the struggling Lady Dinos and Coach Upwall didn't even keep track of the final score. Only Felicia Olmos was able to send one into the net against the Utes in the contest to give Carbon its only score.
For Upwall the loss is just part of the process. He has some good talent, but many of the girls played on the JV squad last season and now it has become a job of finding places that work best for each player to mesh with the returning varsity.
They also have two fewer games this season as budgets in the sports department have been cut along with everything else in the Carbon School District. Teams have faced the prospect of either chopping two games from their preseason schedule or losing a paid assistant coaching spot. Soccer chose the shortened schedule.
The team heads over the mountain on Thursday to take on Maple Mountain in their second game of the season. They are a new school and Upwall hopes that the outcome against them will be more positive for the team.

I use the IPad a lot for reading, writing and surfing the net, and I've always worn readers. I thought I would try these because of the high level of light the iPad gives off, which can be tiring if you read for long periods like me. These glasses are perfect. They make the type crisper, glare is indeed reduced and I find my eyes are not as tired when I use them. Bonus is that they're attractive, well made and well priced. The helpful suggestions for selecting the proper strength were great. I'm thinking of getting another pair to use when I'm on my regular computer!

The story of
The stately iris is beloved in Florence, where its vibrant colour ignites city gardens and the wild fields beyond. Since the Renaissance, Italian perfumers have extracted its orris root to concoct some of the world's finest fragrances.
Our Iris Collection is a celebratory English reworking of the iris's Italian origins, blending orris with notes of tantalising violet and jasmine. Meanwhile, earthen undertones of sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver keep the overall scent properly—and pleasantly—grounded.
