Abilities in Motion
Come, celebrate health, fun, and fitness with us!
CCC is proud to have John Williams, who has a long and distinguished career in radio broadcasting, as emcee for Abilities in Motion, 5:30 – 7:30 pm, Tuesday, October 14, 2014, in the DoubleTree Hotel, Lloyd Center, 1000 NE Multnomah St., Portland, OR, 97232.
John has enjoyed a successful career in radio, ultimately hosting a highly rated morning show for several of Portland's top radio stations.
Upon retiring from his radio career, John wanted to use his skills in radio and television to advance the cause of accessibility. John and his wife Marla created Wheelchair Destinations, a company devoted to producing high quality, entertaining video featuring accessibility for televison and websites.
John is presently the creator and host of Accessible Adventures in the Pacific Northwest, a series of videos for the U.S. Forest Service, highlighting their accessible recreation areas in Oregon and Washington. John serves as Secretary on the Board of Directors for Easter Seals Oregon. John and Marla live in Vancouver, are the parents of two grown children and spend their spare time traveling and spoiling three beautiful grandchildren.
Abilities in Motion will highlight the large number of health, recreational, and fitness activities easily available to persons with disabilities in Oregon.
The event is FREE, open to the public, and will include food and beverages. Click here to attend.
The keynote address will be offered by David Wagner, internationally recognized paralympic wheelchair tennis player who is number one in quad singles and doubles in the world. David will share about his own untimely accident, which originally discouraged his lifelong goal to play tennis professionally until he discovered he could succeed competitively in tennis despite being in a wheelchair.
David, who is formerly from Hillsboro, has been in the top three in the world since 2002 and has competed in the Paralympic Games in Athens, Beijing and London winning three gold medals, two silver and one Bronze. He is also a 14-time grand slam winner.
The event will include Portland Mayor Charlie Hales' presentation of the city's Making a Difference Awards to four outstanding organizations. It will also include videos about sporting, fitness and recreational events throughout Oregon. Adaptive sporting equipment and information about events and programs will be available.
The annual event usually draws 500 people from the community. To reserve your place at the event, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call at 503-261-1266, ext. 187, or sign up here.
Leadership Academy
On-going class events are on the Leadership Academy website.
Thank You, Randall Charitable Trust!!
This year's Leadership Academy, which begins next week, has been made possible through a generous gift of $10,000 from the Robert D. and Marcia H. Randall Charitable Trust.
Thanks to their vision and generosity a very important door to real world professional leadership has been opened to persons with disabilities. It is an important step for this year's class who will be the leadership we have been waiting for.
The nine-week program has more students than last year and includes many of Portland's top notch leaders to guide them toward professional leadership development.
Since too often persons with disabilities have found insufficient access for their activities and aspirations, their plight is nothing less than a civil rights issue. This led the Connecting Communities Coalition last year to initiate an innovative professional training program to train persons with disabilities to advocate for themselves and find success in their own dreams and professional goals. This year's program will build on the huge success of last year's program and include more material and an extra class.
In the final analysis, all the speakers, leaders, class prep, is available through the magnaniminity of the Robert D. and Marcia H. Randall Charitable Trust! CCC extends a heartfelt expression of sincere gratitude for their generousity and support.

They may also be organizations that reach for innovative ways to ensure all persons, regardless of disability, have the opportunity to experience the joy and exuberance inherent in sports or fitness programs.

'Rules' questioned on disability inquiry
The following is from Marjorie McGee who has more than 15 years of experience in working specifically in the disability community, and nearly 10 years in public health. She offers her skills and expertise in working across-disability, ensuring that all have a voice, and assurance to equitable community partnerships.
In 2006 Ms. McGee founded an organization called the Women with Disabilities Health Equity Coalition (WowDHEC) that created a coalition of leaders with disabilities and public health leaders to undertake a variety of educational and outreach activities aimed at the medical and disability communities. She is currently a doctoral student in Social Work Research at Portland State University where she is an adjunct professor in child and family services, family law and policies.
Ms. McGee is passionate about addressing health and social inequities, disability studies, social work and public health and health and social inequities. She has also published considerably on these issues. Here she addresses the CCC community:
Dear colleagues and friends,
I am writing because the draft rules for HB 2134 sets the standardization of response options when demographic data is being collected by the Oregon Dept of Human Services and their contractors–for race/ethnicity, language, and disability (!).
I was one of four "disability experts" on the rule (and the only one with a visible disability) on the advisory committee which met four times in November and December 2013. I was pleased that finally disability status might be collected as a demographic.
Imagine that we could talk about social and health inequities experienced by people with disabilities compared to non-disabled people using survey data! Since we know that not all people with disabilities experience inequities the same way, imagine if we were able to talk about inequities more specifically! Imagine if we had such data for funders who are always wanting to see "the data!"
However, the final rules are disappointing. Below are some key points that, in my opinion, are problematic. If you have additional key points, let others know.
1. Staff and contractors (p 10) "shall ask open ended questions designed to elicit an unprompted response related to disability status." This is challenging as such open-ended questions are unlikely to documented in a standardized way, and likely will have to do with eligibility or access needs, instead of how a person self-identifies as a person with a disability.
2. They do not state a requirement to have any disability related questions on data collection forms or intake forms–as they do for race/ethnicity and language. Instead they do suggest a number of questions that people can ask (ACS questions) … (we had favored the Washington Short Form questions which includes level of severity (getting at differences within groups as well as between groups).
Interesting. I wonder if it is optional to collect on a written form? Will agencies really make changes to do that?
3. They define disability using ORS 659A.104 . Yet, in the rules, for race/ethnicity and language, they did not refer back to EEOC rules, etc. Instead they use the categories that generally are used and understood by people of color.
I am hearing from my colleagues on the RAC focused on race/ethnicity and language that they are also disappointed in the rules. This is an opportunity for us to work in solidarity -across cultures and across disability. There are more points and issues. I am attaching the rules.
Please spread the word, study these rules, and connect with others in your networks. Now is the time!
There will be a public hearing on February 24, 2014, 9am at: 421 SW Oak Street, Suite 750 in the Lincoln Building (1st Floor Pine Room). If you can come and testify – great! I don't know for how long, and they do not specify if there will be ASL interpreting or captioning (we will just need to make that request!).
If you can't attend, they will accept written comments by February 26, 5 p.m. (address to Keely West, Hearings Officer, 500 Summer Street. NE, Salem, OR 97301). Even if you do attend, it would probably be good to send written comments anyway!
If you are interested in having a meeting (phone/in person/skype) to plan a response, please let me know. I am hoping we can find time next week Weds or Friday. Please let me know by this Friday of your interest. If you don't want to meet, but want more information, etc., let me know that also.
Most importantly-please spread the word to your networks (please include to OAD, DWU, ILR, Portland Disability Commission, etc). I know it may be difficult for all of us to agree on the questions–but hopefully we agree that it is time we are counted and included!
Best, Marjorie
CCC welcomes Oregon Adaptive Sports
It's winter and the radiant sun glistening off the ski slopes is a perfect excuse to put on your skis and go for a run. But, if you're a person with a disability, that opportunity might have eluded you if it weren't for Oregon Adaptive Sports, which has joined the CCC to share its wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion for Oregon's beautiful outdoors with persons with disabilities.
In 1996 Jack Alexander, a retired biologist with the U.S. Forest Service, organized a grass-roots adaptive program to share his love of skiing and the outdoors with disabled persons who needed assistance on the mountain. The program began by offering skiing at Mt. Bachelor. In 2003, his growing organization was accepted as a chapter of Disabled Sports USA. Soon after, adaptive skiing was moved to the Hoodoo ski areas, which offers an easily accessible and ADA-compliant base lodge, secure equipment storage, and mountain terrain, well suited to the needs of adaptive skiers. Today, it offers a full range of adaptive programs and lessons at both locations.
In the summer of 2012, Oregon Adaptive Sports expanded its service to include a larger variety of outdoor recreation experiences to individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities by attaining U.S. Paralympics sport club status and adding its first summer sports programs in golf, cycling, hiking, and kayaking.
The programs provide families of persons with disabilities with the education and skills to enjoy these experiences together. Oregon Adaptive Sports' programs, participants, athletes, and families are able to gain confidence and independence, build self-esteem, meet positive role models, and enjoy an enhanced quality of life.
CCC is honored to have Oregon Adaptive Sports among its coalition of organizations and individuals serving and advocating for the dignity and empowerment of persons with disabilities across all disciplines.
To contact Oregon Adaptive Sports at its Bend location, call 541-848-9390 or visit its website at www.oregonadaptivesports.org.
CCC welcomes Adventures without Limits
Winter or summer, rock climbing or snowshoeing, Adventures without Limits (AWL) has been getting people outdoors into the amazing natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest for 15 years. Yes, that's everyone!
The program, which offers whitewater rafting, inflatable kayaking, flat-water kayaking, canoeing, indoor and outdoor rock climbing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, teambuilding, caving, camping, hiking, and recumbent biking, has joined the CCC in its effort to ensure and advocate for the dignity, independence and empowerment of persons with disabilities.
"Our outdoor trips are outstanding because we are committed to meeting the individual needs of every person that comes out with us," according to Brad Bafaro, who founded Adventures without Limits in 1995 as a year-round program to provide all children with a quality outdoor experience.
"We want all our participants to have a fun and rewarding adventure. What's more, we want to help you gain new skills, increase your self-confidence, overcome your fears, and work toward reaching your individual goals."
Bafaro has worked in special education in the Forest Grove School district for more than 30 years. Currently, as director of the department, he has helped develop and implement an inclusive education model for students with disabilities. He has taught Adapted Physical Activity courses at Pacific University and has served as a special physical education consultant for t U.S. Department of Education.
The program has focused on taking out people who normally would not have a chance to get outdoors. This has included those with physical and developmental disabilities, at-risk and homeless youth, and low-income individuals. It began by offering "inclusive" day trips on weekends, and then expanded offerings to serve adults, families, and groups, on single and multiple day trips. Everyone benefits from getting out in nature, being physically active, and socializing with friends and peers. It encourages all people wanting to experience beginner- to intermediate-level outdoor adventures to explore its' many and diverse outdoors programs.
Adventures without Limits offers two styles of outdoor programs: Trips For Everyone, in which it designates the activity, location, date, and time, and its Custom Trip Program.
Adventures are throughout the Willamette Valley, Oregon Coast, Central Oregon, and Western Washington. Outdoor clothing, transportation, adaptive equipment, instruction, financial support through scholarships, guidance, mentorship, and all outdoor gear are provided as needed.
CCC is honored to have Adventures without Limits among its strong coalition of organizations and individuals dedicated to serving and advocating for persons with disabilities.
To contact Adventures without Limits at its Forest Grove location, call 503-359-2568 or visit its website at www.aoloutdoors.org.

"Pitch a Project" tops membership meeting
At its first meeting of the year, the CCC membership discussed a proposal to host a "Pitch a Project" event to invite new project ideas from the larger disability community, discussed Portland's new parking plan for wheelchair and handicapped parking placards in the downtown meter district, and considered a sporting theme for this year's annual event.
A "Pitch a Project" idea, fashioned after the popular Shark Tank television program aired on ABC, was proposed by CCC co-chairs, Barb Dirk and Jan Campbell. That project would be two-fold. It would involve an open invitation to the membership and the larger disability community to make project suggestions and then "pitch" them to the steering committee. The coalition would work with the selected organization or individual on the project, which would also be recognized at the annual event.
John Murphy, CEO of PHCNW, compared the proposed project to the televised program Shark Tank. That program elicits entrepreneurial advice from six of the country's most successful business people, which is applied to a selected business venture to enhance its success. Further information on this plan will be forthcoming and published on this website.
Portland's proposed change to parking for handicapped and wheelchair placard holders in the meter district was presented by Joe Vander Veer, chair of the Portland Commission on Disability. Nolan MacKrill, division manager of the city's transportation bureau explained details of the proposal and answered questions from members about the legislation. He said the new parking plan would be evaluated during a probationary year. Further details about the parking resolution are on this website.
Leadership Academy needs for additional class hours were presented by Linda Van Doran. Currently, the academy is held in two-hour classes each week for eight weeks. She proposed increasing the class time each week to three hours, which is more reflective of a college-level class, she said That proposal was met with mixed reactions. While it was agreed more class time was needed, some suggestions were to lengthen the program beyond the eight weeks rather than lengthen the class time. Discussion on this will continue at the next Leadership Academy planning meeting in February.
This year's Annual Event, set for Tuesday, October 14, will feature a sporting "Tour of Champions" theme celebrating sports and persons with disability, utilizing a paralympic touring route like the "Million Dollar Challenge's Hero's Tour" and a keynote athlete who has overcome limitations of his/her disability through the use of adaptive sports equipment and positive motivation and perseverance.
At the event, awards would be presented Academy Award-style with a video and presentations to several organizations or inidivudals who have provided extraordinary support or services to persons with disabilities in the Portland metro area.
An event steering committee is being organized which includes Victoria Kearns, Patricia Kepler, Lamar Wright, Randy Armstrong, Melody Chord and Nickole Cheron. Volunteers are needed. Please contact Victoria at firstname.lastname@example.com to volunteer. Persons with passion and salesmanship needed.

Lavaun Heaster leaving steering committee
Lavaun Heaster, who has served CCC as a steering committee member since its inception five years ago, is leaving behind her leadership role but maintaining her CCC membership.
Her departure is to allow her to give more attention to her art business and her service to the persons with disabilities community as public outreach and awareness chair of the Portland Commission on Disability.
"At this point my focus will be developing my art business and building support for small business development with artists in the cross disability community," she wrote to the coalition, and added a link for a short documentary about her business:
"I look forward to watching the growth and changes of The Connecting Communities Coalition in 2014," she wrote.
Stay tuned for more of her story . . . coming soon.
Disabled parking accessibility proposed
An increased need for parking for persons with disabilities in the city has prompted Portland's Commission on Disability to recommend the City Council
make changes and add spaces for current disabled parking in the meter district. The proposal specifically calls for increasing the number of disabled parking spaces, eliminating free parking for them, and increasing the number of designated free parking spaces for those using wheelchairs.
The proposal, approved by the commission last Friday, will go before the City Council at 2 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 19. The new ordinance would extend the current ordinance to June 30, 2014, and the system would become effective on July 1.
"The primary reason for the parking program is to have spaces available for people making short trips into the downtown area," said Jan Campbell, co-chair of the Connecting Communities Coalition and board member of PHC Northwest.
Portland's current parking ordinance allows vehicles with disabled parking permits to park for free at meters for an unlimited time period. This has led to a shortage of disabled parking for the rising number of disabled parking permit users in the city.
"Unfortunately, disabled parking permits are being used for all-day parking. This limits the disabled parking availability for persons with wheelchairs who need to park close to where they shop," said Sarah Schooley of the Department of Transportation, in a presentation about the new ordinance proposal at the commission's planning meeting last Friday.
The proposal, introduced by Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick, would require disabled parking permit holders to pay for street parking which would likely reduce the time they occupy the disabled parking spaces. Exceptions would include those with wheelchair permits and residents of subsidized housing or employees in the meter district with disabled parking permits.
Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick is calling for a distinction between disabled parking and parking for wheelchair users as a means to increase accessibility for wheelchair users.
"He saw the need for the change in current policy because of misuse and disuse of disabled parking permits," Schooley said.
Due to an increase in the number of disabled parking permits which is driving an increased need for disabled parking spaces, the situation has become dire. In 2007, there were 586 disabled parking permits in use. As of September 2013 there are 1033 disabled parking permits in use. Of those 1033 parking permits, only 21 are specifically designated for wheelchair parking use exclusively. With the increased need for disabled parking spaces, limitations on their use is being called for.
The plan will provide 30 additional wheelchair only parking places for "on-street, right-side parking" without payment and without time limits. While the department expects the number of wheelchair parking permit users will increase, the city can easily increase the number in the future.
Disabled only parking will be increased by 50 spaces and will allow for up to three hours at meters with a time limit between one and three hours. At a meter with a maximum time limit of three hours, a disabled parking permit user may pay ahead for the amount of time planned. The three-hour time limit would discourage all-day parking and allow for greater turnover and increased accessibility. Alternative ways of paying such as an in-vehicle meter or pay-by-(cell) phone applications will be available.
"We're working with the commission on where those parking spaces should go," Schooley said.
Employees with disabled parking permits who work within the meter district will be issued a "special on-street permit that allows for day-long, on-street parking."
"We would issue a permit for a physical limitation within three blocks of the worksite," Schooley said, noting pricing would be similar to off-street downtown garages.
These special permits would be available to those who "prove they work within the meter district, their employer doesn't provide parking and they are unable to use Tri-Met or existing garages," she said.
Also, disabled parking permit residents of the meter district who live in subsidized housing will be allowed free disabled parking at a specific residence.
"For a subsidized housing resident permit you would need to show paperwork proving you live in subsidized housing for a free one-year parking permit,"' Schooley said."We're trying to discourage cars that never move."
The new proposed parking for persons with disabilities most likely won't raise any additional revenue for the city, but it will make parking easier and more available to persons with disabilities and especially wheelchair users.
Making a Difference
Mayor Charlie Hales presented Erik Ferguson and PHC Northwest each with the city's "Making a Difference Award" for their outstanding achievements for persons with disabilities at the CCC's annual event, "Leadership: Passion to Action," in October.
As an outstanding artist, despite a severe disability, Ferguson was honored for his contribution of art and technical advising of adaptive equipment for people with disabilities. Ferguson has served on CCC committees in past years.
John Murphy, president and CEO of PHC Northwest, accepted the PHCNW's award. The PHCNW was honored for "providing training and work for people with disabilities for more than 60 years and for its role as key creator of the CCC, sponsor of the annual event."
Five years ago, under the leadership of Murphy and Therese McLain, PHCNW contracts and Communications director, PHCNW brought together several organizations and disability community leaders to start the CCC.
"While the organization has evolved over the years, PHC remains the primary fiscal partner providing staff support to the coalition," Mayor Hales said, adding "Now in its fifth year, the event remains the largest cross disability gathering in Portland."
The Standard also co-sponsor's the annual event.

Re-Growing Green Onions: Grow Your Scallions Back on Your Windowsill
See these green and perky scallions? They weren't so perky a week ago. In fact, they were chopped down to their roots. But a scant week of water and a windowsill grew them back — did you ever learn how easy this is?
I saw this little tip at a blog:
• Read more: Wordless Wednesday - Regrowth at Homemade Serenity
...there were no words, and the picture didn't need any. Pop your cut scallions in a glass of water and, clearly, they regrow. I had to try it for myself.
I chopped off some scallions and stuck them root-down in a Mason jar above my sink. I topped off the water once or twice when I saw that it had mostly evaporated, but other than that I did nothing.
To my surprise, these grew fast. Within a day or two there was fresh growth, and within a week they had 3 to 4 inches of fresh green onion on top. (The before photo is actually after I cut them for the second time, and I originally chopped them off even shorter.)
It might not work a second time; I am not sure how long you can keep regrowing these things. But it's handy and surprisingly practical, as I usually only use a bit of scallions at a time — a handful for miso soup or scrambled eggs here and there. It also gives me a bit of something green to look at.
Have you ever tried this? How long can you keep a set going?

Oh my gosh, that is SO cool. And you know, I hardly ever buy scallions because I use them pretty infrequently so they inevitably go bad in the fridge. But next time I buy a bunch for a specific purpose, I will save a few bulbs and try this to keep a small but ongoing supply. Fun!
I am definitely trying this with some of the scallions currently in my refridgerator.
I love to keep my fresh herbs on my windowsill, and recently started doing this as well - it's so great!
I basically do the same thing with basil, when you buy the packages at the store you can stick them into water and they'll keep growing ~ just cut off what you need and remember to change the water regularly
Great idea! Some recipes call for the white part only, but if you have two or three jars growing, you'll have enough to keep the supply going and still be able to meet your recipes' requirements.
Interesting! How does it taste after multiple re-growings?
This is like that garlic peeling trick that was going around a few months back. I cannot believe I've never seen it before! TRYING tonight!
@Hungry Passport - that addresses my comment/question. I typically use equal parts white and green, which doesn't seem like it would work with this process.
This is such a great, simple idea to prolong the life of an all-too-perishable fridge staple. Several of my favorite recipes (for example, sesame-peanut noodles) really require the kick of scallion green, but the leftovers get slippery so fast in the fridge that I don't often buy them. Even if this trick extends their life by just a few days, that's enough to make a big difference in my kitchen.
(I have long wished that my grocery would allow me to buy scallions by the stalk, even at a premium. In the long run, it would save money and waste.)
I'll have to try this tonight. Usually, when I buy green onions, I buy a whole package, then chop them up immediately, and then i put it in a jar and freeze it.
But this is great for when you need fresh green onions as a garnish.
I really don't see the point (but happy some of you do) since if I use a scallion it is the white part primarily ...... I can't think of a time where I use the green and not the white.
I tried this, then went ahead and planted them in a pot on my windowsill. It's been about 6 months and they're still going strong, and continue to taste great.
One of my friends has been doing this and posted it on her blog the other day. If only I had sunlight inmy kitchen or in a spot where my cat wouldn't end up eating them...
Picantel, when thawed arent they mushy? I thought they dont freeze well.
I've done this, but after a couple weeks mine always get slimy. I may have to try Monstertruck's potting method.
I do this all the time. If not to grow them, to keep them fresh longer.
I almost always use the white, but it is a great save for scallions that are getting dry or limp in the fridge.
How cool! Thanks for the tip. I'm definitely going to try this.
Great tip. Thanks!
When I tried this I found that the taste of the "second cutting" was not very good. They tasted too spicy and a little bitter. Faith, I would be interested to know how yours taste!
I have done this a few times since seeing a pin on Pinterest. I find you can regrow them 3-4 times, then they're just done. Since I barely ever used an entire bunch without throwing away some, this has cut down on waste considerably. Each regrowth tends to be a little paler, and a little less onion-y, but just fine for my purposes. (I'm not some green onion snob, I suppose, haha.)
I did this several times. Gotta remember to change the water once in a while because it can get kinda smelly and gross... After cutting them 2 or 3 times, I just plant them in a pot or out in the garden and they keep coming back. I also tried this with fresh sage (very fresh) cuttings and in a couple of weeks, they started growing roots, and then I planted them in a pot.
Hmm... I would exactly call that "down to the roots". I'm used to just slicing of a thin little disc of the root and chopping up everything else.
I saw this on Pinterest a couple weeks ago and have a bunch of second-growth scallions going on right now right on the windowsill. It is so cool. The other day when I just needed a couple to garnish some soup, there they were! It's the best "invention" ever!
If you are freezing green onions, wash them, then cut them up into small bits and put them in a jar or ziploc bag.
Add them straight from the freezer at the END of the recipe. If you thaw them out ahead of time, they will be mushy. The frozen bits work great for fried rice, miso soup, stir fry.
Whenever my onions and garlic get green shoots I plant them in soil and trim off the shoots when needed
i like both parts, but my absolute favorite marinade recipe calls for a whole cup of just the very bottom white parts, so im always buying bunches of scallions just for the bottom part! Usually it takes 3 bunches! Too bad you cant plant them upside down.
I started doing this a few weeks ago, but now I have all these green onions! Any recipes for the green part? I hardly ever use them so keep giving them away when they get too tall! :)
That is the sort of thing that makes me bang my head on the desk and say "Why didn't I think of that?". Great tip.
I have done & am doing this. I have had the same stalk of green onions for over a month now. Its SO easy & SO nice to have them on hand.
I change my water every couple of days. Just giving them a quick rinse with my sprayer & a clean fill up. I have a shelf I mounted to my window frame over my kitchen sink so they get plenty of light.
Also, YES! they grow fast & inevitably you will have more than you need. I find 2 things do-able...start adding them to things you would not maybe think of since you normally wouldnt have them on hand. Pastas, salads, etc. You will love the results, I am sure!
Also I snip them into a tightly sealable rubbermaid container & put in the freezer. That way, when I maybe DONT have any on hand than they are there. & trust me this has happened quite a few times. I live in a rural area with a small grocery store that closes early & when making mongolian beef at 8:30 pm on a friday...you need green onions :)
to those who havent done this....what are you waiting for?!
We did this for years, and finally I just decided to grow them in soil. They are very easy. And if they do die off or get overeaten we just buy more and do the same and plant them.
Also, if you get a bumper crop you can chop them up and freeze them as another poster mentioned. They do tend to get a bit soggy, but this trick helps to keep them crisp in the freezer: keep them very loosely wrapped in a damp paper towel and put them in a bag or canning jar that is not fully sealed. The air circulating seems to help somehow.
Some people have asked "Why bother?"
I live in a northern clime. It can get pretty bleak here in winter. I always grow bulbs inside this time of year to remind me that life comes back. Green growing things, edible or not, are a refreshing sight for some of us in the cold months. This has the added bonus of being yummy!
We go through several bunches of scallions per week so this is probably not practical for me, but I might do it for fun anyway. As per Charlotte's comment, it'd be nice to have something green growing in the house in the winter.
But tip to keep your refrigerated scallions fresh: as soon as you buy them, wrap the bunch in paper towel. It absorbs the humidity and keeps them from getting slimy. I do this for peeled garlic too.
Yahoo had a short article on the green onion re-growth and I planted my limp onions and they are still growing 6 mo later...taste great...they also said you can buy limes on sale and put them in the freezer whole and let thaw before use and they are great. Martha said you can take unused lemon grass and put them in a jar of water and they will root in a week...and they did then I planted them in a pot outside and I also plant unused ginger..
I am a avid reader of the apartment therapy blogs. I grow herbs, tomatoes, and strawberries on my balcony.
A few months back I was cleaning out my refrigerator and found some wilted, nasty looking green onions down in the bottom. I was about to throw them out, but I had one pot empty on the balcony, so I stuck them in there on a whim. They grew very big to the point I cannot get them out of the container. LOL
So, now when I need green onions for a dip, or other recipe, I go out and trim a few of the tops, and they grow back rather quickly. All from something I probably would have thrown away in the past.
dur! this is one of those -- why didn't *i* think of this!?!
my fiance hates onions... i have to chop regular onions tiny tiny for him to eat them. and we can't ever go thru an entire bundle of green onions before they get all wilty and gross.
We lived in Alaska for 5 years and used this trick on garlic (think chives with a mild garlic taste), green onions, scallions, as well as lemon grass. We also planted up ginger. When you have to drive over an hour one way to get to the grocery store on some of the most treacherous roads in the state you learn to take advantage of any tricks to extend the time between trips.
My mother can get green onions to keep for up to 5 weeks in her fridge. Her trick... she cuts off the roots, wipes them down, then wraps then in a paper towel, and wraps the whole thing in foil. She has done this for over 40 years and has never had to throw them out due to spoilage.
Trying this tonight. For those who fear mushy defrosted scallions, we keep them in the freezer and never suffer, using this method: as soon as you bring them home, wash and dry scallions thoroughly. Snip or chop. Pour into freezer bag. Force out extra air and roll the bag from the bottom, leaving bag open a tad to "burp" before sealing. Freeze. The key is to make sure everything's dry and remove air from the freezer bag. Cheers!
I'll usually trim them and plant them in my backyard and they'll regrow and the bulb grows into an onion.
Thank you for this great idea!! I found a charming jar that has an antique look with tiny handles on each side, I can't wait to try it. Scallions was one of the items I would buy over and over again, not being able to keep it around for the next time I needed it.
so going to try this
Um, am I the only person in the world who would EAT them before they could regrow?? :) Seriously!!
And for people looking for "recipes" for them... chop 'em, and sprinkle them on.... EVERYTHING. Pizza. Toast. Goat Cheese. Salad. Pasta. Steak. Chicken breast. Rice. Tofu. Seitan. Veggies of all kinds. Cheeses of all kinds. Soup.... especially Pho. Seriously, eat them on everything. They taste better than "big" onions (because, you can grow specifically a breed that is 'green onion', or you can start onions from seed and do this, too).
I did something similar to that with a regular onion. It was growing a shoot, so I stuck it in a pot. That shoot grew pretty big-it looked like a scallion but I was scared to taste it.
I don't understand the people who say this won't work for them as they use the white part of the onion. Even if you do use both white and green parts you're not eating the roots. As long as the roots and some of the white part are there this seems to work just fine.
yes I agree. I just put the root part with a little white in a glass of water.
When I see the roots grow out, I plant them in dirt and they grow. Just snip off what I need
and the keep growing.
If you cook Asian dishes, the green parts of the scallion is what is used most. This will be great for me since I end up throwing out half a package of scallions.
You can also regrow shallots (instead of buying those little, expensive bags of them).
I need to make more room on my windowsill - I'm going to be doing a lot of this.
Okay. What nutrients/vitamins are being gained by regrowing in this way? It seems the water is not providing you any goodness, not compared to what the plants gain from being in well-composted soil or grown with good organic fertilizer. Is the taste the same as if the green onions were grown organically? If this is a form of hydroponics, don't such growers add nutrients to the water? Just curious.
You can freeze chopped green onions! Make sure they are dry, chopp them, and put them into a water bottle, (spring water), it really works they remain crisp and usable. I finally found a way to preserve green onions especially when I buy them by the bunch, they will not go to waste, then with this tip of putting them in the window sill is even better!
I've been doing this for about a month now! I cut the onions the first time, and left about 3 inches of green, then I let them grow back about another 6 inches (only took a few weeks) and then I cut that off again, leaving about 3 inches...right now they're about 12 inches high! The second time I cut them they grew even faster! I swear from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed I could notice them growing! Also, I change the water daily and rinse the slime off the roots, I don't know if that helps them grow but it's working for me!
I've been doing this for a few years now, only in a box just outside the kitchen with other herbs. Just poke a hole, drop the roots in, and voila - fresh scallions forever if you re-plant a set every few days! Some of my older experiments have overwintered (Seattle area) for over 3 years, getting woodier and less tasty as they got larger, so best harvest them young.
You can chop your leftover scallions and air dry or oven dry them for use later. I air dry my fresh herbs that are leftover and they are fresh tasting and wonderful. The same can be done with onions. In the oven the lowest temperature for a few hours does the trick. Place the chopped onions on parchment or paper towels which will help rid them of excess moisture, then place on a baking sheet and dry.
Trying this tonight! Also, one of the best and easiest recipes ever--4 ingredients--includes chicken, scallions & white wine: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Roast-Chicken-and-Scallions-242331
I have been doing this for years. Every time I have a little too much I cut them
and throw them on top of salads. The onions add a lot of flavor.

"The main thing we have to deal with in climate change is skepticism and denial, and the cult-like behavior of political lemmings that would take us over the cliff," Brown said, to the delight of his invited audience.
Brown further stirred the crowd, pointing to what he called powerful wealthy forces "that want to crush any effort to cope with climate change."
California has long been an activist state on this issue, taking on Detroit by adopting stringent tailpipe emissions, passing a law that requires one third of the state's energy to come from renewable resources by 2020, and embracing stringent emission rules meant to reduce industrial pollution.
Then-Governor Schwarzenegger signed a landmark anti-global warming bill, AB32, in 2006 that imposes complex rules on businesses, including a cap and trade system in which companies buy and sell pollution credits.
Brown's support for all of this is certainly not inconsistent. In fact, it's probably a big reason that Schwarzenegger took no steps to criticize Brown during last year's campaign for governor.
But Brown's aggressive remarks today, labeling critics of global warming science as "cult-like", will provoke everything from eye-rolling to genuine worry from many business leaders.
Schwarzenegger liked to talk, during his governorship, about how protecting the environment and the economy were not mutually exclusive.
As 2012 nears, corporate and business representatives remain focused on what can be done to nurture California's stumbling economic recovery. Brown's combative remarks, and his belief that "denial" is dangerous, will complicate his tenuous relationship with business groups.
It's a big risk for Brown, as he pursues support for his pension reforms and his tax package next year. But it won't have any effect on his relationship with Capitol Republicans. There isn't much of one.

1. Following the game, Middle Tennessee State laughed best. The Blue Raiders roster includes 36 players from Georgia. One of them is cornerback Kenneth Gilstrap, a Miller Grove High grad who is a close friend and former teammate of former Tech star Stephen Hill.
Gilstrap made one of the plays of the game, intercepting a pass intended for wide receiver Jeff Greene in the fourth quarter. Gilstrap said he had about 40 friends and family members at the game and almost cried when he made the play.
"Georgia Tech gave a slap in the face to all of us," he said, referring to his Georgian teammates. "We are all from Georgia. We've got more Georgia people on our team than they do. They tell us that we're not good enough to play in our own state, but we showed we were the better team in this game."
Gilstrap's enthusiastic math, while understandable, is a little off. There are 80 players from Georgia on the Tech roster, according to the media guide.
2. Following the game, Georgia Tech athletic director Dan Radakovich wore a look that made it appear he bore the loss to MTSU as heavily as the team and coaching staff. He affirmed his support for coach Paul Johnson.
"I have complete confidence in Paul and his staff to be able to move forward here and get us in the right direction," he said.
Radakovich made reference to a possible communication issue between coaches and players.
"Is the communication being received correctly?" he asked. "What can you do to make the message get received by the people who have to execute?"
Johnson had a similar response to a question about the Miami loss having a lingering effect on the team. The coach acknowledged it was possible.
"We talked and tried to use several different angles but clearly I didn't get through to them, so that comes back to me," he said.
3. Defensive coordinator Al Groh moved from the field to the box to call the game. Johnson said the move was intended to make the play-calling process to the field quicker. In the press box, Johnson said, "there wouldn't be everybody around him."
From the sideline, inside linebackers coach Joe Speed signaled in the plays.
"I don't think we had as much trouble getting the calls in," Johnson said. "The results weren't much different."
Johnson deflected a question about if he were considering changes to his staff.
"After the game, I'm just considering going and watching the tape," he said. "That's what I'm considering doing."
4. Outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu and cornerback Louis Young both did not play after not practicing this week. Attaochu, whose injury was undisclosed, was replaced by Tyler Marcodes. Young, the No. 3 cornerback, was out with an upper-body injury and was replaced by various players, including true freshman D.J. White.
Marcodes had a tough game, missing a number of tackles. He was replaced at the end of the first half by Chris Crenshaw.
"[Attaochu's absence] affected us, but then again the next guy should be able to step up and take his place," inside linebacker Quayshawn Nealy said. "I feel like we're a brotherhood out there. We live off each other. It didn't affect us."
Starting outside linebacker Brandon Watts did not play in the base defense in the first half, subbed for by Malcolm Munroe. Watts played significantly more in the second half. Johnson said that Watts was hurt and "didn't think he could go. Halftime, I think he decided he could give it a go."
5. A-back Orwin Smith was called for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in Saturday's loss.
He took responsibility for the first one which came after he and a Middle Tennessee State player began jawing at each other after a kickoff return in the first quarter.
"That was just being real intense out there," he said. "I go out every game with that fire. I've just got to find a way for other guys to do it too."
Smith said he hates any contact after the whistle and said when the game isn't being played fairly, "I need the ref to say something. Me personally, I need to relax."
The second one occurred in the third quarter after Smith was tackled for a 1-yard loss. MTSU linebacker Roderic Blunt stood over Smith after the play, preventing Smith from standing up. Smith got up and jawed briefly with Blunt.
6. Lost in the detritus of Saturday's 49-28 defeat was that Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington tied a school single-game record with four rushing touchdowns.
Washington scored on runs of 1, 3, 1, and 1 yards to tie the mark, most recently reached by running back P.J. Daniels against Tulsa in 2003.
Washington has 11 rushing touchdowns this year, the third-most by a quarterback in school history, and 10 in the past three games.
His 29 rushing touchdowns are the fifth-most in that category and fifth-most in career touchdowns in school history. He now has 174 points in his career, tying him with Calvin Johnson for 10th on the school's all-time scoring list.
7. The announced attendance was 39,270. It was the smallest crowd for a Tech home game since a Duke game in 2000 drew 36,908. … Kicker Justin Moore took holding duties on extra points. The previous holder was Sean Poole, who is out with an upper-body injury he suffered last Saturday against Miami.
Defensive end Izaan Cross wore No. 40 Saturday in honor of former linebacker and captain Julian Burnett. The team has been rotating the jersey in tribute to Burnett, who suffered a career-ending neck injury in the Sun Bowl last season.

someone needs to communicate to drad that giving this guy an extension will trough with those given to chan & hewitt…problem starts at the top, but the way drad struts around at events he won't have that insight….maybe the Tech prez is smart enough to have a clue, or it will be a long decade….WnE may be smarter than the rest of us…now that i'm getting older, may not be able to take the long view that i will outlive bad coaches, but that does not apply to groh….MTSU did a good job, nothin' fancy, just lined up & kicked but…congratulations to them…

Tevin sucks and only calls his own number so much that he should score he only had 4 yards rushing i know he had some sacks but his record sucks as starting qb..time for him to go..cpj should see that and move forward..thats the only thing that will keep fans happy…its hard as hell being a tech fan rt now

I would love to be in a room with cpj..slap some sense into his da..he cant manage his players loses track of folks and just grabs who ever is close to him.even the greatest coaches take notes and have cheat sheets…his players stare at him in anger when they r not playing..players do not like hom..u can tell by watching them as he walks by..even starters sad..wake up old man u aint that f'n good..this aint gsu
September 29th, 2012
10:07 pm
Not communicating correctly? What does that mean? CPJ speaking French to them? This is becoming seriously stupid. We could just replay the quotes from 2010 and 2011. How long does it take this staff to communicate the relative importance of blocking and tackling? This defense doesn't get it. We couldn't have played with MTSU today with 15 players on D. Reminds me of the old Tampa Bay coach who asked "Can anybody here play this game?" Clemson can name the score.

Feel bad for Gtu fans, you are definitely not getting your money's worth out of Coach Johnson. Too bad he doesn't have Coach Gailey recruiting for him and Coach O'Leary cheating to make kids eligible. I know that there is too much money involved to do it, but I think that Gtu's administration should be looking at dropping to 1-AA. Could probably compete for championships, and the crowds of 39,000 would be on par with most of the other programs.

As I posted 5-6 hours ago, this is one of the worst losses I can ever remember in the 55 years that I have been a Georgia Tech fan. I'm glad Johnson admitted that he was embarassed, but he should be embarassed!!! His team's was outhit, out-hustled, out-manned, and out-gutted. Oh yes, did I leave out something? Oh yes, out-coached!!! Wa

Part II. This Tech team quit in the fourth quarter. That's right. Q-U-I-T! And they sure as blazes flat out quit on that last MTSU drive. I watched the game up close and personal and I closely watched the play of the middle of Tech's defense for much of the second half. Absolutely embarassing. Tech's #90 went half-speed much of the time and took himself out of the play time and time again as he came off the ball in slow motion and carried himself out of the running lane in a clearly half-hearted effort as if he was in a half-speed practice. Time and time again! And he was not alone is his pathetic effort. Not by a longshot!
Most of his teammates were not much better. These so-called major college players were out-muscled and run over by a bunch lower rung FBS players. Huge, gaping holes were quickly opened and # 2 was made to look like the reincarnation of Herschel. But give the kid credit—and to all of the Blue Raiders for that matter—because they played extremely hard, while Tech's players went through the motions and were an embarassment to themselves and certainly to their supporters. Did you hear the boos?
There was absolutely no excuse for what occurred on Grant Field—sorry, at Bobby Dodd Stadium. To get upset by a less talented, albeit inspired team is one thing. But to get crushed and humiliated is quite another!
I have chastised Dawg fans for ranting about Richt in recent years—and as I write this I feel as if I am being eerily similar to their members of their Lunatic Fringe. But yet, with the exception of Central Florida— one of the stronger lower D1 programs— they have not been humiliated like Tech was by MTSU.
My first Tech game was as a 13-year old in 1962 when Tech upset #1 ranked Alabama/Bear Bryant/Joe Namath 7-6 on Grant Field. That was 50-years ago. The Lord willing I will still be a Tech fan another 20-30 years, long, long, long after Paul Johnson and Al Groh are gone and are only single lines of agate type in the Tech media guide. But I will hopefully never see an embarassing, humiliating debacle like I witnessed Saturday afternoon. Give an uninspired effort like I saw against MTSU against Clemson and it will make this loss look like a nail-biter. And as for the Dawgs, Lord have mercy!
And as for Radakovich's postgame comments. What a total dumb-ass thing to say. I would have settled for a "no comment" to that garbage. That is his insight into this travesty? You gotta be kidding.
In closing, to Paul Johnson et al, all of you owe Georgia Tech the Institute and all Yellow Jacket fans a public apology for your pathetic effort.

If you thought the attendance was bad today, wait for the Duke game. There might be 2000 people there as we head towards our first losing season in years. Oh wait. That was "C" P J just 2 years ago that did that. The defense is blaming the offense and the offense is blaming the defense for the awful play now so both sides have just quit. Everyone knows that Tevin Is PJ's boy and is going to play no matter how awful he is so they are quitting on the "coach". Groh should be out on Monday and then we need a QB coach that can finally develop a decent QB. Hopefully Ken will be down at Tech tomorrow to see if there are any UHaul vans parked outside the Edge building.

"[Attaochu's absence] affected us, but then again the next guy should be able to step up and take his place," inside linebacker Quayshawn Nealy said.
Players throwing EACH OTHER under the bus!
Nealy is calling out Marcordes big time, and in the local Media at that.
The truth is, it is not Marcordes' fault, his only schollies were to N. Illinois and "maybe" a late offer from Illinois, but most of Marcordes' offers were from MAC schools, and to top it off, he played vs. some shaky competition in HS.
Marcordes should have never been put in a position to play for a BCS team.
He looked really bad considering that he has been in GT's weight program for 2 years, and should be a better physical specimen at this point.
For example, UGA "stole" a 6-4 250lb. TFr OLB from Vandy and he backs up their starters and is getting significant PT this season, Josh Dawson from Tucker, if GT had him he would be backing up Attachou instead of Marcordes, and the results might be a lot different.
Were CPJ a better Recruiter, then the guy headed to VANDY might have been "stolen" by GT instead , and then maybe CAG's defense would work a lot better.
Losses like these always go back to losses in Feb.

As someone who is neither a Tech loyalist or a Tech hater I have no dog in the fight. Speaking as someone who loves college football in general let me offer a few objective thoughts. I follow recruiting pretty closely and if you look back over the past three recruiting classes the top players in high school are simply not being recruited by Tech. I am a fervent believer that Georgia high school kids should play college ball in the state of Georgia – whether it be Tech, Uga, Ga Southern – whatever. But Tech has done a really lackluster job of going after kids in the state of Georgia during the past three years. And by the time these "lower rated" recruits to Tech become upperclassmen the gap has gotten wider and wider for Tech. Also, the team seems to be turning on itself. Coach Johnson may have a good scheme, etc, but the comes across as being somewhat abrasive and I wonder if this doesn't get interpreted as not caring. He really has to understand that other people can have good ideas and suggestions and maybe learn to listen a bit more. The players have started to turn on one another and that might be a reflection of his own personality – maybe or maybe not but it's worth consideration! Tech game tickets are a hard sell. The students and alumni have to love the team, the coach, and the effort. That's starting to slip just a bit and empty seats are the death knoll of today's football programs who are struggling in a horrible recession. So, good luck to all but don't be afraid the look inward and ask the difficult questions – I think people are a little intimidated or avoiding of Coach Johnson because of his words that he doesn't choose very wisely. Could these observations hold water. Best of luck!

At the rate Tek is losing, there won't be 3,000 fans in the stands for GT's next home game.
Could not happen to a more deserving arrogant fan base and head coach. Remind me, who was the idiot who said that Tek fans better get used to wining because Paul Johnson hates to lose?? Are you guys having fun on the Flats yet?
The Joke by Coke is Broke and cannot afford to get rid of Paul "Fishfry" Johnson. No worries, Turkey neck has the perfect option for Tek fans. He will just punch somebody in the mouth.

Upon further review:
1908 Falcons Cowboys playoff game resulted in DB Lawrence thrown under the bus.
Fans forgot playoff team Dallas had top WRs very tough to cover when D coor and O coor choke.
Did Bartkowski choke?
O coodinator stopped his own offense which torched Dallas for 3 quarters.
Team demoralized as players and not the choking coaches get the blame.
I, as you all know, remain in Tevin's corner but would not have minded a few plays with Days getting the ball. I recall only one that failed due to blocking.
Is Days' season one and done on one play's result?

Why think about that game?
That one game demoralized the Falcons?
We have had three similarly demoralizing games in the last five.
MTSU picked up on our state of mind and it gave them confidence.
Poor coaching is the cause of both teams slide.
Can the slide be stopped?
Our only hope is that Clemson will bring out our best this season, though the 36 point unanswered run vs Miami was near awesome.

I vented a lot about being a no show but went.
I'll be our "expert" on mourning since I recently lost my mom.
Don't go easy on me about that.
Because of that, I'm a bit dangerous.
I think the team is undergoing a similar mourning process for the "lost season' of what they had expected.
I feared for example being taken advantage of by one family member in particular though everyone else has been absolutely fabulous.
I am hopefully returning to full strength.
MTSU noticed that Tech's was down and took advantage of the opportunity.
We have done that too.
In football that is fair.
I think however like with losing someone you love, with time you can bounce back.
The goals of the season back in August or gone.
But there are still things to play for.
I'll be surprised if we do not show up to play.
We canlt fire the coaches midseason but if u are going to pick players to throw under the bus, I am going to be the Tech blog historian.
Our warrior Nesbitt did not win all the games in 2009 by himself, not even the FSU game.
And he saved someone from being the goat when he took the ball away from their linebacker late.
If not and had we gone on to lose, fans being fans, they would have gone over that play to either blame him on the pitch and blame the RB.
Since he saved the game, none of that happened.

…and we have their number, just as Miami has ours – book a win next weejk.
And, 1 4 GT, I saw the play to which you alluded last week, the 360 spin move, yesterday, so you were not hallucinating last week. It was the play at the start of the third quarter where Tevin pitched it and a fumble occurred from which Tech never recovered…

The Falcons just displayed guts, persistence, determination, and a desire to win in their game against the Panthers. They drove down the field and won, with only a few seconds left in the game. Even if they lost the game, I would have been proud of their efforts, because they gave their all, to the very end. What a difference in the Falcons' players today, and the Georgia Tech team falling on their swords yesterday, seemingly in self pity. I do not believe that GT players cannot play well because entry requirements to Tech are more difficult than other schools. Does anybody really believe that gifted athletes are not smart enough to get into and play at Tech, Stanford, Notre Dame, etc.? I do not believe that outstanding athletes are somehow not smart enough to get into Georgia Tech, I think that is an excuse played by pundits, some alumni, and ill accountable leadership. Heck, I got into Tech and graduated with honors because I worked hard (and prayed a lot). You have to want it, you have to work harder than anyone else, and you cannot believe what anyone else says about you. Put your collective will together, as a team, don't allow anyone to blame the coaches, the staff, the defense or the offense. My recommendation, step up and make a difference, to a man. Never, ever give up and never blame anyone but yourself if your BEST is not enough.

But was I RIGHT about CPJ way back in Dec. 2007 when he was hired?
Have I been right about all of CPJ 's failed adjustments since then?
Feel free to apologize and recognize the genius that is WnE .
I guess you could call me a "Keyboard AD", since all my moves have been perfect.
BTW GT cannot afford to fire CPJ and won't be able to for at least 2 more years (IF THEN), that means CPJ will impact 2.5 MORE RECRUITING CLASSES TO RUIN GT FB!
Think about that?
Now think back and try and remember who was the ONLY ONE that was against CPJ getting such a huge raise from $1.6MM per year to $2.3 – $2.6MM per year?
You guessed it………..none other than the "Keyboard AD" himself, that would be good Ol' WnE!

WnE…….Everyone you have never been a CPJ advocate but being right about his hiring doesn't make the rest of us feel better about the state of GT football. The program is in a shambles and there is no hope on the horizon that I can see. Unless we apply for membership in the FCS division.

Ken, your item #6 says an awful lot about this team and their supposed qb leader. I've been to all home games for the last several years and sit with the same group of great fans each week. We can call the plays before the qb does. There are other players on the team who need the opportunity to score occasionally,too. If every play inside the opponent's 20 is going to be a qb keeper, at least give Days a chance. He's a much more difficult runner to bring down. Maybe CPJ is making all the calls. It appears to me and many others at the game that we just have a glory seeking qb.That might be the reason he didn't get more help on Saturday.
