Los Angeles City Councilman Herb Wesson is running to represent L.A. County Supervisorial District 2. His opponent is California State Senator Holly Mitchell.

Wesson and Mitchell were neck-and-neck during the primary election in March. Councilman Wesson got 29.9% of the vote, while Sen. Mitchell got 29%, according to Ballotpedia.

What You Need To Know

• L.A. City Councilman Herb Wesson is running against California State Senator Holly Mitchell for L.A. County Supervisorial District 2


• Wesson said his experience with stand up comedy taught him how to connect with people and read a crowd


• He wants to "close the spigot that allows people to flow into homelessness"


• The issue of homelessness is personal to Councilman Wesson because his son was once homeless

---

Wesson said the lessons he learned while doing stand up comedy during his younger years have helped him in his political life.

“I had a roommate who wanted to sing on Broadway, so he would go to these amateur nights throughout the city, and I would go with him," said Wesson. "And one night, there were a couple of acts that didn’t appear, so they asked if I could kind of stall things out. So I got on the stage and did my very best to try to keep people engaged. But the one thing that it did, it taught me how to connect with people. It taught me how to connect with people even when they weren’t paying attention or had no interest, and I think it taught me how to read a crowd. But most importantly, it eliminated my fear of speaking before people, so I think that was a very good experience for me."

Wesson said Angelenos need to address the pandemic because it’s not going to disappear after the election on November 4.

“All of the problems that we had in this region prior to the pandemic, we still have today,” he said. “I think one of the most important lessons that we’ve learned, which relates to homelessness, is we have to do more than just build new units. We’ve got to focus on closing the spigot that allows people to flow into homelessness in the first place. So, we’re going to need to put resources in rental assistance programs that do a few things, like provide financial planning for people who found themselves upside down. And we’re also going to have to make small investments that I think will be cost-effective investments in keeping people in their homes now.”

The homelessness crisis is personal for Wesson because, at one point, his son was unhoused.

“My family has felt the roller coaster of emotions, from being embarrassed, to 'how could you do this to us,' to 'was there something that we didn’t do…' But so many people have, when they discover that my family has experienced this, they can relate, and I think that it gives a lot of hope, and for all of the people out there that have volunteered to help us, have chatted with him,” Wesson said. “Let me let everybody know that within three weeks, my son Douglas will be sober for the first time in his adult life for one year, and that we feel very optimistic that this time, he has a legitimate shot to make it. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I want any family in the Los Angeles County area to know that there’s power in prayer and that you’ve got a shot to turn your loved one’s life around.”

A committee affiliated with Wesson’s campaign received a large contribution from a union representing sheriff's deputies. Despite this, Wesson wants to bring change to law and order.

“This support came from organized labor," he said. "My opponent and I both competed to get their endorsement. I was fortunate enough to get the endorsement of the 800,000 working people in this region. They decided that they wanted to create their own separate campaign to support me, God bless them, and I’m appreciative. But don’t think that we both didn’t get law enforcement money. So, we did. At this point, when you look at reimagining public safety, I don’t think that there’s a person in this region that has done more to reimagine public safety than myself in a real way. It’s not so much the police as it is the system of policing.”

If elected, Councilman Wesson said he’d do his best to try to work with L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.

“If the Board of Supervisors and the Sheriff’s Department cannot connect, cannot communicate, then it is the residents of this region, they are the ones that are suffering the most,” said Wesson. “But I believe that now is the time for us to have a serious conversation about, 'Do we want to have an elected sheriff, or do we want to have a selected sheriff?' In the event that this sheriff would have applied to become the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, I do not believe he would have even made it to the interviewing process. So that’s a conversation that needs to take place now. And if the residents of L.A. County feel as though we should select a Sheriff, where we would have oversight, then we need to do whatever’s necessary to get the authorization to do that from our representatives at the state.”

Warner praises medicinal herb preservation program as good business - Bristol Herald Courier

Kathlyn Terry Baker, CEO of Appalachian Sustainable Development (left), speaks Friday during a visit by U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. Warner visited ASD in Bristol as part of a swing through Southwest Virginia.

DAVID MCGEE/BRISTOL HERALD COURIER

BY DAVID MCGEE | BRISTOL HERALD COURIER

BRISTOL, Va. — A program designed to preserve medicinal herbs while offering new local business opportunities piqued the interest of U.S. Sen. Mark Warner on Friday.

Warner, D-Va., who is seeking reelection, spent an hour at Appalachian Sustainable Development, a regional farming and conservation organization, to learn more about its programs. It was one of more than a half-dozen stops in Southwest Virginia during the final week before Election Day on Tuesday. He faces Republican challenger Daniel Gade.

ASD is looking to expand its agroforestry programs.

“Two years ago, I got introduced to the opportunities around botanicals and agroforestry. I think they make a great case,” Warner said. “What are unique assets of this region that can’t be duplicated anywhere else? In the last two years, I think we’ve been involved in four or five grants to them. This idea of herbs and botanicals, it’s going mainstream. It used to be at the health food store, now it’s at CVS. I want them to think bigger.”

ASD CEO Kathlyn Baker said the organization has been working in this area for nearly a decade.

“We’re trying to help people understand the opportunities available in our forests with non-timber forest products — things like ginseng, goldenseal, black and blue cohosh,” Baker said. “What we’re practicing is conservation and commerce. We want to build bigger markets but pay a premium for sustainable practices on the ground. That gets more money back to people doing the work. We need to build more markets, we need to get more government support — like have extension agents be focused on supporting the people on the ground.”

Warner said the concept of investing in a local production facility makes a “great deal” of sense.

“There’s money to be made here. Jobs; sustainable; what’s not to like about this? We’ve worked really well with the state delegation, the congressional delegation; everybody is kind of all in. I just want to prod them to think bigger,” he said.

Baker said the group is trying to determine its next steps.

“We’ve been in non-timber forest products about a decade. We started doing more market development in 2017 and working with these large scale herb buyers and finding a sustainable supply they would pay a premium for,” she said. “It’s a supply problem. We have a huge demand.”

One of the keys, she said, is making the process more accessible and affordable.

“Some of the conversations today were about point-of-harvest certifications, forest-grown verifications. Those are new, but we’ve got to make that happen so they can get those,” Baker said. “We have to make that certification affordable so it’s worth doing and understandable so it’s not so overwhelming. People have barriers for getting certified organic because they think it’s too hard, but once they do it, it’s not that hard. It’s off-putting at first.”

Baker said ASD recently hired a procurement manager for its herb program and the volume is expected to increase “dramatically.” They are also working to develop a business model, she said.

“We don’t want to just live on grants for this forever,” Baker said. “We want to build a business that is viable, so we need to come up with enough revenue to make that make sense.”

Herb Adderley, a Packers Hall of Fame Cornerback, Dies at 81 - The New York Times

herb.indah.link

Herb Adderley, the Hall of Fame cornerback who played for Coach Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packer teams that won five N.F.L. championships in the 1960s, including the first two Super Bowls, and then helped take the Dallas Cowboys to their first Super Bowl victory, died on Friday. He was 81.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, announced his death. No details were provided, but the Packers said he had recently been hospitalized.

When Adderley arrived at the Packers’ 1961 training camp as a first-round draft pick and a former all-Big Ten running back at Michigan State, he expected to be a backup for the Packer stars Jim Taylor at fullback and Paul Hornung at halfback, and that is what he became. Going into the annual Thanksgiving Day game between the Packers and the Detroit Lions, he had not run from scrimmage all season.

But Lombardi, who saw Adderley as the best pure athlete on the team, finally gave him a chance — in the defensive alignment. He inserted Adderley, who had played some defense in college, at left cornerback in the second quarter when the Packers’ secondary, already short-handed, lost cornerback Hank Gremminger to an injury.

“I was in a state of shock,” Adderley told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel long afterward. “I was shaking and nervous. I had no time to ask anybody any questions. I didn’t know what I was doing.”

Nonetheless, he intercepted a fourth-quarter pass from the Lions’ Jim Ninowski, helping the Packers rally for a 17-9 victory. In December, the Packers won their first N.F.L. championship under Lombardi, routing the Giants, 37-0.

Adderley played for nine seasons with the Packers and three for the Cowboys. He had speed and decent enough size for a cornerback of his time, at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, and he intercepted 48 regular-season passes, running seven of them back for touchdowns. He took an interception 60 yards for a score when the Packers defeated the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II.

Adderley was an outstanding kickoff returner as well. He ran the ball back 103 yards against the Baltimore Colts and took another kickoff for a 98-yard score against the Los Angeles Rams.

He was among only a few Black players on the Packers when he joined the team. When the Packers faced the Washington Redskins in a 1961 preseason game in Columbus, Ga., where hotels were segregated, the entire team stayed at Fort Benning, an Army base. As Adderley recalled, Lombardi said, “I’d rather be here with all my players than be split up somewhere else.”

Adderley said that landlords would not to rent to the Packers’ Black players when he was a rookie, leaving him to live with Davis and the running back Elijah Pitts in what he called a “shack” on the outskirts of Green Bay, Wis.

Lombardi met with real estate agents after that, Adderley recalled, and “the following year, it was different. We had decent housing. He opened a lot of doors for Black folks and Black families — many that had nothing to do with the Packers.”

Herbert Allen Adderley was born in Philadelphia on June 8, 1939, the son of Charles and Rene Adderley. His father was a factory machinist. Herb was a multisport athlete at Northeast High School.

Playing for three seasons at Michigan State, he gained more than 800 yards rushing and was a pass-catching threat. The Packers selected him as the 12th overall pick in the 1961 N.F.L. draft.

The Packers traded Adderley to the Cowboys in September 1970. He teamed with the future Hall of Famer Mel Renfro at cornerback when Dallas lost to the Baltimore Colts in the Super Bowl after the 1970 season and then defeated the Miami Dolphins in the next Super Bowl. (A member of that Colts team, the wide receiver Jimmy Orr, died on Tuesday.)

Adderley retired after the 1972 season with 1,046 yards in interception returns and 3,080 yards in kickoff returns.

In October 1984 he attended the Packers’ first full-scale reunion for players from the 1966 team, which defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I. And he made it clear where his loyalties resided.

Telling of that gathering in “Distant Replay” (1985), by the former Packer guard Jerry Kramer and the sportswriter Dick Schaap (the follow-up to their book “Instant Replay”), Adderley said: “As far as I’m concerned, I never played for the Dallas Cowboys. I’m the only guy in the country who has a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl ring and doesn’t even wear it.”

Adderley’s survivors include his wife, Brenda, the Hall of Fame said.

After his playing days, Adderley owned a Philadelphia-based company that laid television cable lines around the country.

He was the lead plaintiff in a 2007 federal lawsuit against the N.F.L. players’ union filed on behalf of 2,056 retired players who contended that the union had improperly failed to include them in marketing deals. The suit resulted in a $28.1 million judgment against the union; after the verdict was appealed, the retirees settled for a $26.25 million payout.

Robinson, the Packers’ left linebacker of the 1960s, once recalled Adderley’s combativeness, which could extend to confronting an opposing coach.

“Herb didn’t forget anything,” Robinson was quoted as saying on the Packers’ website. “He took everything personal. One time in Baltimore, Don Shula yelled at him from the sideline after a tackle, and Herb told Shula to put on a uniform and he’d hit him the same way.”

Herb Wesson, Holly Mitchell battle to become LA County supervisor in 2nd District - LA Daily News

herb.indah.link

LOS ANGELES — Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, and Los Angeles City Councilman Herb Wesson are splitting progressive support in their bids to replace termed-out Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas in the county’s 2nd District.

In the March three-way race that included former Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry, Wesson picked up 29.9% of the vote to Mitchell’s 29.0%. It is hard to overstate how much things have changed this then, but the November run-off is still closely contested.

Early on in the primary race, Wesson became the front-runner, with support from the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, County Supervisor Janice Hahn and other high-profile names. He is also backed by the powerful unions that represent county firefighters and sheriff’s deputies, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and others.

“Herb Wesson has been an outstanding partner and a champion in our fight to improve the quality of life for all of our city’s diverse communities,” Garcetti said when announcing his early endorsement. “Herb understands how to bring people together to solve problems and deliver results like reducing homelessness, creating jobs, raising the minimum wage and expanding workforce training.”

However, Mitchell gathered her own set of impressive political endorsements, including from Gov. Gavin Newson, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and County Supervisor Hilda Solis. She has labor support from the United Farm Workers and its co-founder, Dolores Huerta, as well as from unions representing healthcare workers and public defenders, among others.

“Senator Mitchell is adept at ensuring the needs of California’s most vulnerable populations are accounted for in funding and legislation that improves day-to-day lives and strengthens communities,” Newsom said in announcing his support for the senator.

Ridley-Thomas himself — who is vying to replace Wesson in representing Los Angeles City Council District 10 — has not endorsed either candidate seeking to serve the county’s 2nd District, which covers an area ranging from downtown south through Inglewood and much of South Los Angeles to Carson, and as far west as Mar Vista.

The five-member county Board of Supervisors controls a $37 billion budget and more than 110,000 county employees working to combat homelessness, manage the county jail and hospital systems, and oversee child welfare, public safety and myriad other programs for more than 10 million county residents in 88 cities and unincorporated areas.

Both candidates can point to significant government experience. Wesson joined the Los Angeles City Council 15 years ago and served as its president from 2011 until last December, when he voluntarily stepped down to focus on the county race. He was also state Assembly speaker from 2002-04.

Mitchell, who came to the state Legislature from the nonprofit sector, chaired the state Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, dealing with the complexities of allocating billions of dollars in funding, and sat on multiple other Senate committees.

Although the race is nonpartisan, both candidates are registered Democrats and progressives who tend to lean in the same direction on policy. During debates, they have highlighted differences in how they would solve problems. Wesson, for example, has pushed for building 100% affordable housing on city-owned properties, while Mitchell has raised concerns that the tactic would isolate low-income residents.

While the primary campaign focused in large part on homelessness — which remains front and center — the candidates now need to persuade voters concerned about the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout, and those more keenly interested in issues of racial justice.

Wesson recently highlighted his work on a draft ordinance that would prohibit the operation and construction of private prisons in Los Angeles. An earlier temporary version of the ordinance put a stop to setting up immigrant detention centers, and the councilman committed to institute a similar ban countywide if elected as supervisor.

“The city of Los Angeles was the tip of the spear in ensuring that profiting off of locking people up will not happen in Los Angeles,” Wesson said in a statement. “We must next bring this to LA County and call on every city and county to join us in preventing this kind of activity from operating within their borders.”

Mitchell has highlighted her sponsorship of multiple bills, including banning life sentences without the possibility of parole for minors and limiting police authority to permanently confiscate property from people suspected, but not convicted, of a crime.

“We have to stop making the criminal justice system the backstop for other failed justice systems,” Mitchell said in an August interview hosted by activist Patrisse Cullors.

Both candidates support Measure J, a charter amendment that would commit 10% of the county’s general fund for community investment and alternatives to incarceration, and have underscored their commitment to reform.

Voters seeking to identify the politician most likely to push for changes to the criminal justice system or racial inequities may be surprised that even principals in the Black Lives Matter movement have split their vote. Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, is backing Mitchell, while Melina Abdullah, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, has endorsed Wesson.

“No elected official in the county has been more courageous in the fight for a transformed system of public safety — one that values Black life and by extension, all humanity — than Herb Wesson,” Abdullah said in a statement of support.

Cullors tweeted her support for the state senator in February, well before nationwide protests in favor of justice reforms.

“LA County is home to the largest jail population in the world. Shifting our failing criminal justice system to restorative justice models requires the leadership of the Board of Supervisors. This is why I’m with @HollyJMitchell for County Supervisor,” Cullors posted.

Both candidates, or the PACs that support them, have sometimes resorted to negative campaigning. Mitchell’s supporters have thrown a spotlight on corruption at Los Angeles City Hall, taking opportunities to underscore Wesson’s close relationships with councilmen Jose Huizar and Mitch Englander. Huizar is facing a raft of federal corruption charges, while Englander has pleaded guilty to obstructing a federal investigation.

Allegations have not been made against Wesson, who has said he is disgusted by the behavior of his colleagues.

Wesson has accused Mitchell of garnering support from the private prison industry, which one Mitchell campaign mailer said amounted to a single $1,000 contribution that she returned. The Los Angeles Times reported that both Wesson and Mitchell have received support in earlier races from CoreCivic.

Wesson’s campaign cash includes $500,000 he received during the primary campaign from the union that represents sheriff’s deputies, while Mitchell vowed to take “no cash from cops.” To critics who say he is too cozy with law enforcement, Wesson points to his support for cutting the Los Angeles Police Department’s budget by $150 million and notes that Mitchell also benefited in the past from law enforcement support.

Voting by mail and in person is already well underway in Los Angeles County, but the race may be too close to call until well after the polls have closed on Election Day. If Mitchell is elected, the county board once referred to as “five little kings” will be run by five women for the first time in its history.

Herb Adderley, Packers legend and Hall of Fame CB, passes away at age 81 - NFL.com

herb.indah.link

Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Herb Adderley passed away Friday at the age of 81.

Adderley, considered an all-time great at his position, is one of four players history to win six NFL championships (1961, '62, '65, '66, '67, '71).

Adderley was an integral part of the Green Bay Packers' glorious run through the 1960s. A product of Michigan State University, Adderley entered the NFL as a first-round pick (No. 12 overall) for the Packers in the 1961 NFL Draft and went on to play in all five of Vince Lombardi's championship teams in Green Bay, two of which were Super Bowls I and II. Adderley played in Green Bay through 1969 before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys, where he went on to win Super Bowl VI before retiring after the '72 season.

Over the course of a 12-year career, Adderley was named first-team All-Pro four times, named to the Pro Bowl five times and was a member of the NFL's 1960s All-Decade Team. Adderley's career ended with 48 interceptions, which ranked 13th all-time upon his retirement.

Adderley was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980.

"The entire Pro Football Hall of Fame family mourns the passing of Herb Adderley," Pro Football Hall of Fame president & CEO David Baker said. "He was a great player and an even greater man. Herb left an indelible mark on the Game and was respected tremendously by players and personnel across the league. Our thoughts and prayers are with Herb's wife, Brenda, and their entire family. We will forever keep his legacy alive to serve as inspiration for future generations. The Hall of Fame flag will be flown at half-staff in Herb's memory."

Hall of Fame defensive back Herb Adderley, who played in four of the first six Super Bowls as a member of the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, died Friday at the age of 81.

Adderley's 60-yard interception return for a touchdown capped the Packers' 33-14 rout of the Raiders in Super Bowl II. His Packers defeated Kansas City in Super Bowl I.

"The entire Pro Football Hall of Fame family mourns the passing of Herb Adderley," Hall of Fame CEO David Baker said in a statement. "He was a great player and an even greater man. Herb left an indelible mark on the Game and was respected tremendously by players and personnel across the league."

Los Angeles Chargers safety Nasir Adderley, Herb Adderley's cousin, called him a "unique soul who has had such an incredible influence on my life."

Truly an unique soul who has had such an incredible influence on my life. I'm going to stay strong because I know that's what you would want, but I'm going to miss you so much man. Rest in paradise king, I love you🖤 https://t.co/v0a7SqFrDV

Herb Adderley, a first-round pick of the Packers in 1961, played with Green Bay through the 1969 season, winning five NFL championships, before finishing his career with three seasons in Dallas that included a victory in Super Bowl VI. The five-time Pro Bowl selection was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1980.

"Herb was one of the greatest defensive backs to ever play the game," Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy said in a statement. "Few players can match his statistics with 48 interceptions and seven pick-sixes. He was a tremendous all-around athlete, as evidenced by the fact that he was All-City in Philadelphia in football, basketball and baseball, played halfback and defensive back at Michigan State and was an outstanding kick returner in the NFL. He was instrumental in the great success of the Lombardi teams and was the only player to play in four of the first six Super Bowls, and was a key member of six NFL championship teams.

"We extend our deepest condolences to Herb's family and friends."

Adderley was always a Packer at heart.

"I'm the only man with a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl ring who doesn't wear it. I'm a Green Bay Packer," he said in the book "Distant Replay," a memoir by former Packers teammate Jerry Kramer.

Bart Starr, the Hall of Fame quarterback and a former Packers teammate, once called Adderley "the greatest cornerback to ever play the game."

Born June 8, 1939, in Philadelphia, Adderley was a three-sport star in high school. He excelled at running back at Michigan State and was the 12th pick overall of the 1961 draft. He came to training camp expecting to compete for a starting job against future Hall of Fame running backs Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung.

Midway through the season, Packers coach Vince Lombardi switched Adderley to defense to replace injured starter Hank Gremminger.

The move paid immediate dividends.

Adderley's speed and instincts made him a quick learner in his new position, and he became a stalwart of Green Bay's secondary. Adderley intercepted 48 passes, returning them for 1,046 yards and seven touchdowns in his career.

"Herb Adderley simply wouldn't let me get to the outside," Hall of Fame wide receiver Tommy McDonald once said. "He'd just beat me up, force me to turn underneath routes all the time. ... Other guys tried the same tactic, but he was the only one tough enough and fast enough to get it done."

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Adderley had a career-best seven interceptions in 1962. He also led the league in interceptions in 1965 and 1969. Adderley returned kickoffs in all but the final year of his playing days with the Packers, averaging 25.7 yards per return.

In the early days of football on television, Adderley made his appearances count and is most remembered for his postseason contributions. He was a member of all five of Lombardi's NFL title teams and played in the first two Super Bowls.

"I was too stubborn to switch him to defense until I had to," Lombardi said. "Now when I think of what Adderley means to our defense, it scares me to think of how I almost mishandled him."

Adderley played in two more Super Bowls with Dallas in 1971 and 1972, winning his sixth title with the Cowboys in his final season. Adderley was an All-Pro seven times, from 1962 to 1967 and again in 1969.

After his retirement, Adderley was a crusader for the rights of former players. In 2007, Adderley and two other retired players filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL Players Association, alleging nonpayment of licensing fees. He had received only $126.85 per month in pension from the NFL.

He became the lead plaintiff in the case on behalf of more than 2,000 retired players who claimed the NFLPA breached licensing and marketing terms by using their images in video games, sports trading cards and other items. The case was settled for $26.25 million in 2009.

Herb or vegetable? Flexible celery is both and more - The Guardian

herb.indah.link

Is celery a herb or a vegetable?

This versatile plant in the Apiaceae family crosses boundaries easily. It can and should be used in its entirety, and depending on which part and cultivar you use, there is one for almost every application.

It makes geographic sense that the stemming, blanched celery varieties are more commonly used in Eurocentric-dishes since that’s where they were first cultivated – originally growing very well in marshland, salt-rich soils of the Mediterranean.

Commercially grown celery stalks are deprived of light, to make them softer and sweeter. Photograph: Maciej Bledowski/Alamy Stock Photo

Along the way some clever person figured out the practice of heavily mulching the stems to limit photosynthesis, making them sweeter and softer. This practice of limiting light, by either mounding mulch or placing a box around the crop, is very common now across a variety of crops from asparagus to puntarelle. This is also how stem celery varieties are grown commercially, so if yours at home blossom out with strong, woodier trunks don’t be disheartened, all you’ve done wrong is to grow good, strong plants that are photosynthesising.

Leafing celery varieties are more widely seen across Asian cuisines, and they have many of us stumped. What do you do with then, besides throw it in a stir fry?

The answer is to think of leafing celery like a soft herb, much like parsley and coriander. In that context, is has so many uses. There is a rainbow of leafing celery waiting for you out there: ranging in colour from yellow, pink, red to peppermint-striped.

A close relative of these leafing varieties is lovage, one of the main ingredients in Vegeta a non-MSG seasoning. All leafing varieties have a stronger celery flavour, and they’re the perfect piece to solve the puzzle of many salads, soups, noodles and braises as a finishing touch.

The other defining character of leaf celery is that it often has a hollow stem, which tends to get woody as the plant matures. Much like coriander root or celery stems, these can be thrown into a stock pot to add flavour, while the soft inner stems are perfect for cooking with.

If you want your celery baked or used as a root vegetable substitute in soups and stews, grow a monarch celeriac or any celeriac, a bulbous root celery. Though I must warn you, the slugs also love them. And while we’re in the vicinity of the oven, celery stems are a vital addition to a classic battuto or a mirepoix, which when cooked out in olive oil becomes soffrito, the basis of any decent ragù.

As for salad, pretty much all of the Apium Graveolens cultivars are up for it. Think celeriac remoulade, the crisp roots doused in a creamy, mayonnaisey, mustardy dressing. Nothing beats a fat celery with their crunchy stems – like say a Tall Utah – julienned finely, with its leaves thrown in with green apples. Coincidently, this combination also makes for a very nice, refreshing cold pressed juice too. Celery is also excellent to cut into through the fat of smoked salmon, or a worthy addition to any chicken sandwich.

Slightly torn, the leafing varieties are all fantastic to throw into a warm salad, are a great addition to any fine herb salad, or to pep up crisp lettuce leaves with a bit of intrigue.

Where I love leafing celery most is in simple noodle soups. It works nicely in a clear broth with shredded chicken or mushrooms and rice noodles, garnished with crisp garlic and shallots, then seasoned with a few drops of fish sauce and lime juice. If you start off with very good, flavourful broth this is pretty much a baseline noodle soup – anything in addition is a bonus.

In the Thai food canon, leaf celery commonly seen most in Chinese-influenced dishes, hence many noodle dishes will call for both coriander and leaf celery. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Use both and be happily surprised by how much more flavour there is to be had.

Pork belly, celery and glass noodle stir fry

This is a lovely one pan dish which requires you have a few key pantry staples on hand, and three other ingredients for a quick midweek dinner or lunch. Use a pan that has a lid if you have one, plus a mortar and pestle comes in hand to pound the garlic, ginger and peppercorns makes things snappy.

100g pork belly with fat
5 garlic cloves
20g ginger, peeled
4 stalks of Chinese celery, save all the leaves from the bunch- pick and set aside
1/2 tsp black peppercorns
500g mung bean glass noodles
2 tbsp suet, pork fat (or duck fat, chicken smaltz, macadamia oil or whatever healthy fat you have on hand that can stand a high burning point)
2tbs Megachef premium oyster sauce
2tbs fish sauce e.g. Red Boat fish sauce
1tbs coconut nectar or palm sugar
2tbs rice wine vinegar
1 lemon/lime to serve, cut into quarters

Soak the noodles in water, then while they’re soaking peel the garlic and ginger, pound the black peppercorns until fine, then add garlic and ginger and continue pounding until a rough paste forms.

Slice strips of pork into 2cm dice leaving on fat. Julienne the celery, pick off the leaves and set aside, then drain the noodles and set aside.

Heat a pan or wok. Add fat and pork belly. Keep moving it so it doesn’t burn, then add the garlic, ginger and peppercorn paste. Cook render that down for five minutes on medium to high heat. It should start to brown and caramelise.

Add the noodles and all the seasonings. Mix well and add ½ cup of water. Cover with a lid for three minutes on high heat.

Turn off heat then add julienned celery and celery leaves.

Serve immediately with fresh lemon or lime wedge.

Michigan State great, NFL Hall of Famer Herb Adderley dies at 81 - The Detroit News

herb.indah.link

Herb Adderley, the Hall of Fame cornerback who joined the NFL as a running back and became part of a record six championship teams with the Packers and Cowboys, has died. He was 81.

His death was confirmed on Twitter on Friday by cousin Nasir Adderley, a safety for the Los Angeles Chargers. No details were given. He called him a “unique soul who has had such an incredible influence on my life.”

Adderley played at Michigan State and led the team in rushing in 1959, and in pass receptions in 1959 and 1960.

Adderley played in four of the first six Super Bowls and won five NFL championships with Green Bay and one with Dallas during his 12-year career.

But he was always a Packer at heart.

“I’m the only man with a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl ring who doesn’t wear it. I’m a Green Bay Packer,” Adderley said in the book “Distant Replay,” a memoir by former Packers teammate Jerry Kramer.

Along with former teammates Fuzzy Thurston and Forrest Gregg, Adderley is one of four players in pro football history to play on six championship teams. Tom Brady is the other. Adderley was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980.

Bart Starr, the Hall of Fame quarterback and a former Packers teammate, once called Adderley the “greatest cornerback to ever play the game.”

Born on June 8, 1939, in Philadelphia, Adderley was a three-sport star in high school. He excelled at running back at Michigan State and was the 12th pick overall of the 1961 draft. He came to training camp expecting to compete for a starting job against future Hall of Fame running backs Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung.

Midway through the season, Packers coach Vince Lombardi switched Adderley to defense to replace injured starter Hank Gremminger.

The move paid immediate dividends.

Adderley’s speed and instincts made him a quick learner in his new position, which helped propel him into a stalwart of Green Bay’s secondary. Adderley intercepted 48 passes, returning them for 1,046 yards and seven touchdowns for his career.

“Herb Adderley simply wouldn’t let me get to the outside,” Hall of Fame receiver Tommy McDonald once said. “He’d just beat me up, force me to turn underneath routes all the time. … Other guys tried the same tactic, but he was the only one tough enough and fast enough to get it done.”

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Adderley had a career-best seven interceptions in 1962. He also led the league in interceptions in 1965 and 1969. Adderley also returned kickoffs in all but the final year of his playing days with the Packers, averaging 25.7 yards per return.

In the early days of football on television, Adderley made his appearances count and is most remembered for his postseason contributions.

He was a member of all five of Lombardi’s NFL title teams and played in the first two Super Bowls. In the second Super Bowl in 1968, he returned an interception 60 yards for the clinching touchdown over the Raiders.

“I was too stubborn to switch him to defense until I had to,” Lombardi said. “Now when I think of what Adderley means to our defense, it scares me to think of how I almost mishandled him.”

Adderley played in two more Super Bowls with Dallas in 1971 and 1972, winning his sixth title with the Cowboys in his final season. Adderley was an All-Pro seven times from 1962-67 and again in 1969.

After his retirement, Adderley was a crusader for the rights of former players. In 2007, Adderley and two other retired players filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL Players Association, alleging nonpayment of licensing fees. He had received only $126.85 per month in pension from the NFL.

He became the lead plaintiff in the case on behalf of more than 2,000 retired players who claimed the NFLPA breached licensing and marketing terms by using their images in video games, sports trading cards and other items. The case was settled for $26.25 million in 2009.

Herb Wesson Abused, Silenced Los Angeles: Elect Holly Mitchell - City Watch

herb.indah.link

It will be the race for the next LA County Supervisor between Holly Mitchell (photo above, right) and Herb Wesson (photo above, left), to represent the County’s Second District and serve as the Supervisors’ Chair and the 10 million people they represent. 

Even Wesson’s enablers at the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News and Daily Breeze endorsed his qualified and accomplished opponent, Holly Mitchell. Let’s be thankful that they eventually saw the light about Wesson’s corruption, destructiveness and failure, and hope that some people still take into consideration newspaper endorsements in an age when social media and pop stars reach vastly more people. 

So let’s pause for a question: is LA worse now than when Wesson first arrived in City Hall? How about in the last 10 years, during his abusive tenure as LA City Council president? 

Exactly. 

Here’s my story. 

On January 3, 2014, I had a lengthy meeting with Wesson and his right-hand man Michael Bai, who is / was / may still be his side partner in a liquor business; how’s that for a politician’s side-gig? The subject was how to fix the extensive problems and corruption at LA Animal Services, the City’s deadly animal pounds. Wesson didn’t do anything he promised, so I got back in touch with him on July 3 when his deviousness reared its ugly head. 

Wesson told me to write him a report (that I could easily have written by that point) identifying all the problems at LAAS, whether from failure or corruption. He said he would make a motion for an audit of and that Councilmember Paul Koretz, the generic City Hall representative of humane issues, would second his motion “to give him cover.” 

Now, why would a politician give “cover” when honest and transparent representation is the thing about which they always jabber?  

Wesson knew that the LAAS problems were deadly, corrupt, and embarrassing to Mayor Eric Garcetti, who he acknowledged didn’t give a darn about humane issues. Wesson’s cowardice kicked in despite being shown an email from Roger Wolfson, then-LAAS Commissioner, which described LAAS as “a leaking rowboat.” (Wolfson was later booted after this column reported on domestic violence allegations that his now-ex-wife leveled against him). 

Wesson instructed me to leave his name off of the report. How’s that for leadership? 

Wesson’s cowardly, hypocritical move foreshadowed that City Controller Ron Galperin would not get to the bottom of the solvable problems in LA’s deadly, ineffective animal pounds. Instead, these corrupt men facilitated an audit only of things not included in the report that Wesson specifically asked me to provide. They used it like a film negative; to identify areas that Galperin was to avoid auditing. 

When I later confronted Wesson over this, he danced, dodged, and denied what transpired, instead daring me to “write about something other than animal issues.” 

He probably regretted those words ever since, as this column has exposed more of Wesson’s corruption than most LA media outlets combined, including Wesson falsifying his residency when he first ran for City Council. His son Justin Wesson did the same, using his parents’ address on his voter registration while living outside of the City, which is criminal, as is his voting where he did not reside. 

Wesson’s wife Fabian Wesson falsified her educational qualifications to land a quarter-million-dollar job at the South Coast Air Quality Management District. One of their other sons got a rent break on his apartment from his landlord/real estate developer while the rest of his tenants got rent increases.  Wesson used LAPD resources for security at a private family function and refused to prove he reimbursed the taxpayers. He repeatedly defaulted on everything from his Discover Card to his mortgages while oddly obtaining larger mortgages. 

Wesson was cited for unhealthy conditions at his rental property, which is used as a nursing facility. The chain-smoking lawmaker, according to long-term City Hall critic Zuma Dogg, allegedly claimed he is a non-smoker on insurance forms, which would be mail- or wire-fraud, if correct. Wesson discouraged this column from exposing stories like its series on the bigamy, perjury and possible identity theft committed by LA City Councilmember Curren Price. Wesson and his prison-bound felon pal Mitch Englander pressured the LAPD to threaten and intimidate me from pursuing these and other stories. It didn’t work. I sued them for those abuses and won. 

But perhaps Wesson’s brashest declaration is the one which speaks loudest of his poor judgment. 

In 2013, Herb Wesson urged LA voters to re-elect bribe-seeking City Hall pervert Jose Huizar, the since-banished lawmaker, declaring, “Mr. Huizar is like my brother, my best friend on the Council. I trust him with my life, he does the same for me,” said Wesson. 

Now Huizar faces life in federal prison for corruption, though he has pleaded not guilty to a laundry list of charges and most likely spends these days assessing who he needs to flip on so he may regain his freedom later in life.  

Wesson harmed LA even more consequentially with vindictive silencing of critics and poor- and middle-class people who needed help from the government he ran as City Council president, a role he inherited from Garcetti. 

Under Garcetti, people got five minutes to speak plus two minutes for general subjects and were heard when the items were discussed. While he was a notorious free speech censor with passive-aggressive antagonism that cost the taxpayers a bundle in losing free speech legal battles, it was better than what Wesson inflicted upon succeeding him. 

Wesson halved speaking time and randomly bunched comments at the start or end of meetings. If he didn’t like you, he would call your name when he saw you walk out of the Ferraro Chambers to use the restroom, declare that you lost your chance to be heard even upon your return. These corrupt traditions continue to this day under his successor Nury Martinez, who has brought her own form of free speech torture to the COVID and Zoom era. 

Wesson did these things because he could. 

He did it out of ego. 

He did it because he is inherently corrupt and retaliatory. 

The race between Trump and Biden is important but not nearly as consequential for Los Angeles as the race between Holly Mitchell and Herb Wesson. It is time for LA to send Mr. Wesson to retirement with his grotesque pension, liquor endeavors and magnificent wardrobe. 

Herb Wesson screwed up the City of Los Angeles something awful. Let’s not give him the reigns of the County so he can mess up that for the 10 million people who live here and scores of others who drop in.

HERB BENHAM: Hidden treasure found here - The Bakersfield Californian

herb.indah.link

Note to children: When the last of us dies — my money would be on your mother since her grandmother lived to 103 — hold an estate sale. You’ll have walking-around-money as long as you are walking around.

A few months ago, Tom Thomas, our across-the-street neighbor, died. He was both a gentle man and a gentleman. When he came outside to get his mail or newspaper, he often wore a hat, smiled and called you by name.

He was perfect neighbor material.

His service was held a couple of weeks ago and last weekend his two grown children contracted with In Your Wildest Dreams to have an estate sale.

I didn’t think any of it. Estate sale, yard sale, what’s the difference? I assumed an estate sale would draw the sort of commensurate interest that a yard sale might, meaning that it would probably do reasonably well. Wasn’t an estate sale just a yard sale without the doughnuts?

“Commensurate” and “well” because Bakersfield is a yard sale kind of town. Maybe every place is and I’m drawing a specific picture that has universal application but yard sales here qualify as something to do, Saturday morning entertainment and who knows, you might uncover a gem or two.

Being in an old neighborhood doesn’t hurt a yard sale or, in this case, an estate sale either. People think you may be selling antiques that you’ve dragged from an attic whose trap door you only recently discovered or dug up an armoire in the backyard. People think old houses, old stuff, and if there is junk, it’s older junk and it may have some historical interest (it doesn’t).

People who live in old houses are throwbacks to another time. Instead of hoodies, we wear bonnets and shoes we’ve fashioned from bark and wash our clothes in tin wash tubs we hauled across the prairie.

Whatever the attraction is, and maybe it’s like this in Seven Oaks, we seemed to have been ground zero for the busiest, most well-attended estate sale ever.

You would have thought this was Santa Barbara. Versailles. I like my neighbor and he had a nice house with some decent furniture but I think he might have been amused by the turnout.

There must have been 500 people over two days. Morning, noon and night. They were parking down the street and you know how popular walking is in the town. They were bounding down the street and looked as if they could have walked to and from Arvin with a mattress strapped to their back.

What is it about an estate sale that is so attractive? Is it the dead thing? He or she is dead and they can’t protect themselves or their stuff so let's have it.

Could it be that the deceased owner might not have known what he had or is it the suspicion that the family members left behind can’t wait to sell everything and so stuff may be cheap, cheap, cheap and perhaps there are real steals hidden on the 8-foot-long tables?

“Steals” like the two rolls of aluminum foil a man bought. I don't know what they sold for, but that guy must have gotten a heck of a deal.

I learned a couple of things from the weekend: Faith in America is not dead, it’s merely shifted from faith in the almighty to faith in yard and estate sales. The firm belief that something better lies ahead, and if it does, you can find it on Friday or Saturday in the driveway and front yard of a house. Something like an armoire, four old kitchen chairs and two boxes of aluminum foil.

Matthew Flannigan, a nurse, former resident of Bakersfield and lover of the town still has organized a Halloween parade at 9:15 a.m. Saturday at Parkview Julian (1801 Julian Ave.) in order to entertain seniors. Flannigan expects 50 people.

“We'll march/parade on the street and the residents will be safely distanced in the parking lots!” Flannigan said.

“It should be fun!”

Good idea. Halloween never gets old no matter how old you are.

New product round up: From stress-relieving herbs to protein snacks - NutraIngredients.com

Lubrizol Life Science Health (LLS Health) has launched a new sustainable, organic-certified, astaxanthin (a carotenoid found in freshwater microalgae), microencapsulated with spirulina (a type of algae) named Astagile microcapsules, with an aim to promote mental agility and support healthy ageing. 

Neoalgae plant

To create the synergistic algae blend which aims to "maximise antioxidant capacity", LLS Health teamed with Neoalgae Micro Seaweeds Products, a research and development company in Spain dedicated to microalgae biotechnology.

“This new nootropic is an all-natural formula with superior stability,” ​explains Isabel Gomez, Global Marketing Manager of LLS Health’s Nutraceutical Business. “We’ve applied cutting-edge technology to ensure stability of the naturally occurring carotenoids, that coupled with our microencapsulation technology allows us to draw out the maximum antioxidant capacity and achieve full functional benefits, all while using less of the astaxanthin dose - enabling a more cost-efficient solution for those interested in preserving and enhancing their cognitive function.”​

The firm says the cognitive enhancement effects of Astagile - awarded organic certification from the EU COPAE governing body - include a boost in memory performance, cognition and learning capabilities, and provided antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to the brain.

“Astaxanthin’s antioxidant activity is due to its highly conjugated structure,” ​describes David Padró, Manager of the Nutraceuticals Business of LLS Health. “However, it also makes it prone to instability and subsequent degradation during the manufacturing and storage process. This can lead to loss of biological activity, significantly limiting its use in nutraceutical applications.​

“Microencapsulation, in contrast, provides a stable, comprehensive solution to astaxanthin’s chemical instability and sensitivity to oxidation.”​ Gomez adds that the encapsulation of spirulina further enhances the antioxidant properties of astaxanthin, amplifying the benefits of both compounds. Recent in vitro​ studies attest to its high stability and superior antioxidant traits.

LLS Health cultivates its H. Pluvialis in a closed greenhouse under rigidly controlled environmental conditions via a two-stage culturing process to ensures the algae is free of contaminants or pollutants 

Terry Naturally supplement

and results in a rich concentration of "pure, high value astaxanthin".

Synergistic herbs​

Supplements brand Terry Naturally has launched a new synergistic herbal supplement of Andrographis and Ashwagandha.

Also known as 'Indian echinacea', andrographis is a herb rich in compounds known as andrographolides, thought to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. This product uses the proprietary 'Andrographis EP80' ingredient which is said to delivers a high level of andrographolides.

Ashwagandha has been linked with reduced anxiety and stress, reducing depression, boosting fertility and testosterone in men, and even boosting brain function. This supplement contains the proprietary ingredient 'Ashwagandha EP35' created with a new and unique dairy-free process that concentrates the key compounds, called withanolides, up to seven times the level of standard ashwagandha, says the firm.

This formula has been created with a wide range of health applications including: Immune defense, stress reduction, energy endurance, stamina, recovery and focus.

Health conscious snacking​

Sports nutrition brand, Myprotein​ has launched new high protein snack products: Crispy Wafers, Nut Bars, and Chips.

The wafer bars are made from a blend of milk and whey protein isolate for those with a sweet tooth. They provide 15g of 

MyProtein bars

protein and 5g of sugar and are available in Chocolate and Vanilla flavour. While the Nut Bar is available in Vanilla Almond flavour and offers 12g of protein.

The MyProtein Chips come in at oless than 120 calories per bag, with natural flavouring and 14g of protein, available in salt&vinegar or Barbeque.

Pink plant powder​

Exberry Coloring Foods supplier GNT Group has added a new beetroot-based pink shade to its range of 'micronized powders' created to maximise the visual intensity of colour shades in certain applications.

According to the firm, the reduced particle size allows these colourings to create a homogeneous colour effect in solid mixes.

The range of colourings is made from fruit, vegetables and edible plants using gentle, physical processing methods and no chemical solvents. Joining the range - which already includes yellow, red, purple, blue, green and pink shades - the new Fiesta Pink addition is a pink shade with a hint of blue.

Made from beetroot and carrots, the new product is pH independent, offers good light stability and has a 24-month shelf life below 25⁰C.

Garden: Herbs great for fall planting - Waco Tribune-Herald

herb.indah.link

Basil is a great herb to grow in your garden. There are several varieties of basil that go well in salads and casseroles. Photo via Wikipedia Commons.

By Melody Fitzgerald

By Melody Fitzgerald

The cooler fall months are great for planting many of our vegetable and landscape plants. As I was deciding what I most wanted to talk about this month, I remembered back to a recent lecture I gave to a ladies group.

One of the women asked me what the easiest plants to grow and I answered without a moment’s thought — herbs. I have thought about that quick answer since then and I would not change my answer given another opportunity.

Herbs are delightful in so many ways. Most are lovely to look at. Many more have a heavenly fragrance. Some have medicinal value or make soothing teas. Others can make the plainest foods taste like a gourmet meal.

All this, and believe it or not, they are easy to grow, need little care, are generally drought-tolerant, and are not much bothered by insects and diseases.

If you decide you want to try an herb garden this fall, start by picking out a plot of land to turn into an herb bed. It is possible to grow many herbs without full sunlight — that is less than eight hours of sun.

Most herbs appreciate a little afternoon shade. There are a few that can take mostly full shade too, if you don’t have a location that gets enough sun for a regular garden.

Once you have chosen the spot, prepare it carefully because you will not have an opportunity to remake the soil again for years, as most of the herbs you will plant will live for a long time to come. Dig in plenty of compost until the soil is light and rich.

The queen of the herb bed, in my opinion, is basil. The more I experiment with basil varieties, the more I love it. There are several varieties of basil. Sweet basil is the most commonly known variety. This is the kind to use in Italian dishes. It is also good in salads and casseroles.

Cooking with basil helps it keep its preferred rounded shape, as you will be trimming off the leaves each time. If harvested often it will not be able to form flowers, which it must never do if you are to have the most leaves to harvest at the best quality.

Basil also comes in Asian varieties, such as Thai basil. This is a whole other flavor that goes perfectly with Thai foods — another love of mine. Try some basil in the warmer parts of the year. It will live and produce until frost hits it. Replant each spring.

Salad Burnet

Salad burnet is an herb that is lesser known, but it is a great one to try. Salad burnet looks like a fern. Use it in salads. It tastes like cucumbers. It looks attractive grown with flowers and lettuces. Try planting it with nasturtiums and pansies (both have edible flowers).

You will have to leave a space for the above two herbs this fall. Plant them now and just realize they will be killed with the first frost, but plant again for next spring after all chance of frost is past. The following herbs can be planted this fall and will grow through the winter. Most are perennials.

Fennel is a great herb. It comes in a variety with purple leaves and a standard green variety. Plant toward the back of your herb bed because fennel can grow to be five feet tall. Cut it back now and then to limit its size.

Fennel is a home for swallowtail butterfly larvae. Watch out for the striped green, black, white and yellow little guys. I like fennel just for its beauty, but it is good with cooked carrots. It has an anise-like flavor.

Sage can also be grown throughout the year in the herb garden. Use it in your turkey stuffing for fresh herb flavor. It puts out some flowers in the spring. Don’t let other herbs bully it and crowd it out.

Rosemary is my favorite plant, which is saying a lot. It can be grown year-round and blooms in the winter. It makes a lovely, delightful shrub also. If you trim it often, it will not get leggy and will keep a better shrub shape.

You might want to pick one up at the store when they start selling rosemary trimmed into Christmas tree shapes. Plant them right out anywhere you want. Just make sure they have adequate drainage and never stand in wet soil for long periods of time. Full sun is preferred.

Echinacea is also known as purple cone flower. This is a vigorous large flower that we often find in Texas gardens. The flowers are pink and are shaped like daisies. After the flowers stop blooming, the middle of the flower forms seeds.

You can watch for these in the spring, because by then the seeds will have sprouted and tiny new plants will be growing. You can transplant these wherever you want to have a beautiful flower to grow. They have old-time medicinal uses, so it is appropriate to plant these in an herb garden. Due to their height you should plant them near the back of the herb bed.

Garlic is another herb that I use in cooking extensively. Plant garlic cloves in the fall. They will form roots and start growing in winter and mature in the spring. Harvest them when the leaves are just starting to look raged, with a few brown leaves. Store them in a cool, dry place.

The “dry” is important in storage, but this year I stored my garlic outside under cover in a wicker basket. When I need anther bulb for cooking, I go collect one from the basket. Now that fall is here, I will choose a couple of fat bulbs, break them apart, and plant the cloves in the garden for harvest next spring.

Get a couple of good books on herbs and learn of the many other fascinating herbs you could have in your garden. You will have a great time growing and using these wonderful plants.
