A glimpse at greatness
Regarding the Friday article "Where to Hoist This Flag?": Elizabeth Van Riper's comment that having the Iwo Jima statue on the bayfront would put Sarasota "in the category of looking backwards" is apparently based on her lack of knowledge of the history and importance of what this statue depicts.
It is the United States moving forward, overcoming tremendous odds, defeating tyranny and sacrificing blood to gain peace, law and order.
Those six men were chosen at random to raise our flag atop a war-torn island in the Pacific. Three of them never left that island. The photo on which this statue is based is said to be the most copied photo in history.
This statue is a proud and gallant glimpse into the greatness of our country, and Sarasota should embrace the opportunity to gain this statue and display it in an appropriate location.

Choose 'hallowed ground'
I am thrilled that Sarasota has the chance to be the home of the magnificent Iwo Jima sculpture. The statue needs to be placed in a setting that allows the public to experience it in a respectful manner.
I think the beautiful national cemetery east of I-75 is the perfect location. Visitors will be able to view it without feeling crowded or rushed to move on.
The cemetery has plenty of parking, making the sculpture accessible to all. Because the site is removed from heavy traffic, the mood at the cemetery invites quiet reflection and commemoration. That is exactly the experience that the poignant and stirring Iwo Jima sculpture demands.
How sad it would be if the statue were installed on the Sarasota bayfront, jammed in next to the whimsical "Unconditional Surrender" statue. The area offers limited nearby parking, complicating access for the disabled. The constant roar of passing traffic and honking cars is hardly the atmosphere the Iwo Jima statue deserves.
The bayfront is a bustling and beautiful place that is beloved by families, seniors, kids, joggers and dog walkers. But it is not the best spot to remember the gallant men and women who have fought and died protecting our country. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, they should be honored on "hallowed ground." We are fortunate to have such a space, the national cemetery, in our midst.

Pursue scandals' truth
Astonishingly, but not surprisingly, Obama followers want to "move on to something more productive for the country" since thus far none of the scandals have been linked directly to the president. However, that does not ameliorate the seriousness of those scandals and the threat posed to our country and Constitution.
Those not watching Fox News or listening to talk radio or searching for information do not have a clear idea of how far-reaching these scandals are because the mainstream media and other cable programs ignore them, and Fox and Rush Limbaugh have been declared evil by the far left led by the president.
Anyone watching the congressional hearings could not help but see the obscuring, stammering, long pauses and other delaying techniques --anything but truthful answers.
What is it about a faction of our government with the power to target, bully and harass and, finally, pass on supposedly secure information about taxpayer returns that does not resonate with everyone?
Or is the far left so thrilled to smear the tea party, religious groups, Constitution supporters, etc., that it takes leave of all principles?
Then there is the wasteful spending on trivial parties, favors, pornography, prostitutes and such by the IRS and State Department employees -- money out of taxpayers' pockets. Think of all the programs that could be funded with that wasteful spending.
All citizens should be shocked and angered, and expect the truth, no matter on which side you vote.

Nik Wallenda, athlete
Let's not diminish Nik Wallenda with monikers like "greatest aerialist" and "greatest daredevil" of all time. In fact, what he did Sunday was one of the greatest athletic achievements ever. His combination of strength, endurance, preparation, mental toughness and courage places him near the top of the greatest athletes in history. His workout regimen would rival that of any major sports Hall of Famer.
While we admire the LeBron Jameses and Peyton Mannings of more robust fame, and their maniacal desire for perfection and skill improvement through repetition and determination, Nik's longevity and success are at least their equal.
One slight difference though: When Peyton and LeBron have a bad day, they go back to practice the next day to work it all out. If Nik has a bad day ...

Getting pushy in Senegal
It never ceases to amaze me how many foreign countries have a dislike of Americans, and a report in the Friday paper titled "Obama rebuked in Senegal" is just one of many reasons for this dislike of Americans.
Why in the world would our president go to a country like Senegal and try to push his beliefs concerning gay and lesbian rights when that country is clearly opposed and has laws strictly against homosexuality, etc.?
We have continually tried to tell other cultures how they should think, and most of these cultures have been around for thousands of years versus our few hundred. Seems like things have worked just fine for most of them without us telling them how to live their lives!

A Different Field
April 8, 2009
By Amy Farnum Novin
Last week, my father and I were having a conversation about college sports and the subject veered to the Men's Frozen Four. My dad is an avid college sports fan, although not particularly knowledgeable about ice hockey.
For fun, I asked him to guess which teams were in this year's field. Minnesota? Wisconsin? Boston College? Michigan? No, no, no, and no, I answered. I told him he would never guess, and well, he never did.
Of the four teams that remain in the NCAA Division I Championship, two – Bemidji State and Miami University – are making their first appearance at the Men's Frozen Four, while Vermont and Boston University – the only top seed left standing – have not been there in awhile.
The Catamounts landed only their second berth in program history, and first since 1996 when current NHL stars and former All-Americans Martin St. Louis and Tim Thomas were on the roster. The top-ranked Terriers, who have claimed four NCAA titles in school history, have not advanced to the national semifinals since 1997.
"It's great for hockey," said Bemidji State head coach Tom Serratore. "It's boring to have the same teams all the time. This is good for the game because everyone out there who plays college hockey can realize it can be them someday. We can do this a lot in this sport, because there a lot of mid-major schools playing and there is a lot of parity in college hockey."
The two first-timers – Bemidji State and Miami (Ohio) – will face each other on Thurs., April 9 at 5 p.m., at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., with an opportunity to play for the NCAA title on the line.
Both teams are coached by former players, Serratore and Enrico Blasi from Miami, and have a special kind of passion coaching at their alma maters.
"(Serratore) does an unbelievable job in recruiting," said Blasi. "(Bemidji is) a team that plays very similar to his personality. They are very passionate and get after it. It's great for college hockey to have Bemidji State and Miami in the Frozen Four, and we're looking forward to it. It's going to be a heck of a game."
Although BSU's run to the Frozen Four may seem a bit more unlikely as a No. 4 seed coming out of a small conference as the College Hockey America champion, the Beavers have a long-standing winning tradition in the sport. BSU has won 942 games, 13 national championships and over 20 conference championships in its history, and with national championships at the NAIA, NCAA Division II and III levels, the Beavers could become the first program to ever win national titles at each level of college hockey.
"We believe in ourselves," said Serratore. "Unless you've ever worn a Beaver jersey or been in a Beaver locker room, it's hard to understand or fathom what we're talking about. We talk about championships and about how special it is to play for this program, and how many times we've won games when people didn't think we could. I think the media to a certain degree looks at this as David vs. Goliath or a Cinderella story, but we believe in ourselves so much that it wasn't a surprise to us (to win the Midwest Regional)."
Bemidji State dominated top-seeded Notre Dame, 5-1, and then followed it up with a 4-1 victory over Cornell.
"They beat the No. 2 team in the country and a pretty darn good Cornell team," said Blasi. "I don't know if there's an underdog or a favorite going into a national semifinal. I think both teams are pretty equal and it should be a fun game."
Blasi, who became the youngest head coach in Division I college hockey when he took over the RedHawks' program in 1999, has built Miami into a national contender during his tenure. The RedHawks have earned four consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament, and have advanced to the postseason in five of the last six years, but this is their first trip to the Men's Frozen Four. They topped two Western Collegiate Hockey Association foes – Denver and Minnesota-Duluth – to get to the school's first national semifinal appearance in any sport.
"It's a special feeling on campus right now," said Blasi. "The student body, the community – everyone currently associated with the program and everyone in the past. There's a sense of pride that they were the building blocks of Miami hockey."
Both coaches are savoring the new experience, and hope to make an impression on college hockey fans when they have the national spotlight this weekend.
"It is going to be great to get national recognition," said Serratore. "It's good for hockey. People are going to know where Bemidji is and get excited about it. There's going to a lot of people who want us to win. It's good exposure and gives our community and university a little notoriety and anytime you have that, I don't think you can put a price tag on that. It is a special time for us, and being on this stage will let as many people as possible learn about Bemidji State."
Boston University and Vermont will battle in the second NCAA semifinal on April 9 at 8:30 p.m. ET. The winners of both games will meet on April 11 7 p.m. ET. The semifinal contests will be broadcast live on ESPN2, while ESPN will carry the national championship game.

Student One was the right decision. As a parent, I never worried about my daughter's safety, given its excellent location, around the clock front desk, and the services available right on the premises. The proximity to uni (QUT), groceries, restaurants, etc. was ideal and made our daughter's daily life that much easier. Any questions we had prior to leasing from Student One were promptly answered and the staff was extremely responsive to questions we had during and after our daughter's return home. JW

Duplin commission takes aim at county's drainage problems
By Matthew Whittle
Published in News on January 14, 2007 10:31 AM
Every two weeks the refrain at the Duplin County Board of Commissioners meeting is the same -- water is standing in people's yards and across the roads and it's a worse problem than ever before.
It's a complaint the commissioners have heard and, after directing county staff to create a countywide master drainage plan, it's one they have taken to heart to try to solve.
The only obstacle is that it might not be an easily solvable problem.
"This is in the infant stages, but the commissioners have asked us to develop a drainage plan for the entire county -- to lay out some of the problems and some of the solutions to those," said Eric West, a state Natural Resource Conserva-tion Service conservationist. "You have natural events that have occurred such as hurricanes, storms and beavers. You have regulations restricting what you can do in the creeks and streams and you have changing land uses."
Each of those, he explained, adds to the problem.
In particular, three of the main causes of flooding are the heavy rains that wash sediment into the county's creeks, streams and ditches, the severe storms that fill them up with fallen trees and other debris and the beaver dams that stop the flow of water.
"A lot of it is past storms blowing trees over and nothing being done to remove them," West said. "(The beavers) also are a chronic problem ever since they were reintroduced.
"Those restrict the flow of water and change the depth of the stream or creek."
When that happens, he continued, and when the county experiences the heavy, quick rains like it did with Tropical Storm Ernesto and the more recent nor'easter, "(the water) is going to start backing up on somebody."
It's because of those two recent storm events, county planning director Randall Tyndall added, that the flooding seems worse than usual.
"We don't have that many stormwater issues," he said. "But out in the county we've noticed more (problems) since the flooding we had in September."
Tropical Storm Ernesto was considered a 100-year flood event and the nor'easter was a 50-year flood event.
But while there's no precise record of where flooding has occurred -- 25 percent to 30 percent of the county is considered to be in the flood plain -- it doesn't seem to have been a countywide event.
"I don't know how widespread the problem is," West said. "To me, it's mostly in the northeastern Cape Fear basin around Chinquapin. That's the main outlet for the county as far as drainage."
Future solutions to the problem, he continued, are about the same as what the county's doing now -- using what little manpower there is to respond to locations of beaver dams and debris clogs and manually remove them.
Another solution, DOT district maintenance engineer Jerri Parker said, is for people to keep any outfall ditches, creeks and streams on their property clean. All DOT can do is replace their undersized crosslines and keep their road ditches clean.
But in the end, Tyndall said, it's simply a problem that's hard to stay on top of.
"We had a massive cleanout after Hurricane Floyd and it's taken this five- to six-year cycle for things to build up again. Then this year we've had Tropical Storm Ernesto and this nor'easter and we've just had an enormous amount of rain in both cases. When you have that much rain it just overwhelms the system," he said. "Duplin County is not unique.
"Wayne County has some drainage issues and Pender County has some drainage issues. None of us can control the weather, and we have some things we haven't gotten around to doing yet."
And because of those difficulties and because of the changing face of Duplin County and its land uses, West added, people should not expect the land drain as it did 20, 15, 10, even five years ago.
"As things change you just have to kind of adapt," he said.

Home | Eye Care | Office Information | About Us | Contact Us
Having your eyes examined can be a pleasant, painless and satisfying experience. At Keystone Eye Center, we try our best to make it that way. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your eyes, the examination, vision therapy, or eyewear (glasses or contact lenses).
Here is a brief description of the many eye care services available to you in our office:
Initial Case History: This is intended to reveal whether your vision problem – if you have one – is the result of an eye problem or of your general health. Diabetes, blood pressure or circulation problems, and allergies are just a few of the general diseases that affect the eye and vision. We shall also want to know your specific occupational and recreational vision requirements so that we can determine the lens formula that is best for your individual needs.
Eye Health Examination: The doctor will thoroughly inspect the external and internal parts of your eyes for signs of eye or body diseases. With special instruments, a study will be made of the interior of the eyes for cataracts, retinal problems, and other diseases. A cataract, which is a haziness or cloudiness in the clear substance of the tiny lens inside the eye, is readily detected in this examination.
Glaucoma Testing: Glaucoma is a condition in which the pressure inside the eye increases, resulting in damage to the sensitive nerve tissue (the retina) and a corresponding loss of vision. Glaucoma generally does not have symptoms until its later stages, so early detection can be achieved only through regular professional examinations. We do an eye pressure test and other tests on patients to detect glaucoma even in its earliest stages, when it can be treated most effectively.
Vision Testing: Patients sometimes express concern that they might give incorrect responses to questions asked by the doctor during their eye examination. You need not have that concern in our office; we have instruments that help determine the proper prescription without your responses. We also verify your responses in several ways to make certain that the lenses prescribed provide the clearest and most comfortable focus for all your needs.
Eye Coordination: A series of tests are performed to determine whether the eyes work together as a team, both for distance and for near seeing. Depth perception is directly related to the eyes working properly together.
Other Tests: A thorough vision and eye examination comprises numerous other tests. Examination of the eye tissue with a biomicroscope, color vision analysis, amblyopia (lazy eye) determination, and vision field study for peripheral (side) vision are but a few of these done, when indicated, in our office.
Prescription Determination: When the eye examination is completed, the doctor studies all the assembled information. The doctor then makes a professional decision on how to give each patient the highest possible visual efficiency. This may take the form of a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, a recommendation for vision training (eye exercises), a referral to another health care professional, or a clean bill of visual health. The doctor also determines the date for the next eye examination.
The Prescription: Your eyeglasses, should you require them, are intended to help you see better and more comfortably. All of the lenses prescribed are impact-resistant and comply with the regulations established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Contact lenses: Soft, oxygen permeable (semi-rigid) or hard lenses are prescribed when indicated. The possibility of using the new extended wear contact lenses – the lenses that some patients may wear for weeks at a time – can be discussed. Whatever type of contact lens that works best for you will be fit and monitored closely by doctor and staff to avoid any complications to the eye tissue.
Dispensing: Each prescription received from the laboratory is checked thoroughly for optical correctness and fabrication exactly as ordered. When delivered to you, it is adjusted correctly to provide a proper fit. Follow up care of your eyeglasses is always available at our office.

Bryan Texas Utilities' electric utility lines and related facilities are typically located within a utility right of way or within a designated area on private property that is recognized by a legally binding agreement called an "easement." Easements are legally binding documents that are filed within the public records of the county where the property is located. Easements grant BTU the rights to install, maintain, and improve its facilities as and when needed. Easements also place certain restrictions on the landowner such as the inability to locate permanent structures within the utility easement. Pavement, fences, shrubbery and gardens may occupy the easement area, but only at the property owner's risk.
Easements are required on all new primary lines and, in some cases, secondary lines. As a condition of providing electric service, BTU may require the execution of an easement or easements providing suitable rights to BTU for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the distribution lines serving the consumer's premises.
An Easement grants BTU the right to install facilities within an easement as well as access rights over the easement area. These rights include the ability to cut down or trim vegetation within the easement and the right to remove or have removed any obstructions within the easement area that may interfere with construction or maintenance activities.
BTU will construct, own, operate and maintain distribution facilities on public or private property across which easements or rights-of-way satisfactory to BTU may be obtained without cost or within the public streets, road or highways in which it has legal rights to occupy without future relocation liability.
In order for BTU to adequately prepare distribution easements, signed and dated copies of at least one of the following items of information are necessary to show proof of property ownership and to show property description:
- Warranty Deed
- Partition Deed
- Gift Deed
- Probated Will
- Contract for Deed
- Contract for Sale
- Map or plat of property by licensed land surveyor
For more information on distribution electric easements, contact BTU at (979) 821-5770 or email us at email@example.com

Also known as Cornstarch, Maize starchDescriptionCornstarch, or corn flour, is the starch of the corn (maize) grain. It is different from maize flour or makkai ka atta. Maize flour is milled from the whole kernel, while cornstarch is obtained from the endosperm portion of the kernel. Cornstarch is commonly used as a thickening agent in soups and liquids. As the starch is heated by the liquid, the molecule chains unravel, allowing them to collide with other starch chains to form a mesh - thus slowing the movement of water molecules. This results in thickening of the liquid, be it soup, stock or other culinary liquids. White corn flour is used as a filler, binder and thickener in cookie, pastry and meat industries.How to select• Select corn flour, which is white and powdery, without any lumps or discoloration. • While buying corn flour, also watch out for the expiry date.Culinary Uses• In the kitchen, cornstarch can be used as a binder for puddings or similar foods, or as a thickener for sauces, stews, and similar dishes.• Cornstarch is a bland, gluten-free alternative to flour for frying and for sauces and gravies. • Use it in cakes, cookies, pies, and a host of other sweet goods as well. • Many cooks prefer using cornstarch as it imparts no additional flavour to foods.• A simple pudding can be made with milk, cornstarch, and sugar.• Always make a paste of cornstarch and cold water before adding to heated foods to prevent lumping. • Do not overcook as it will begin to break down and thin out. • Stir continuously but gently. Vigorous whisking will also cause loss of texture. • When cornstarch paste is added, cook over medium heat and bring to a boil for about one minute. Remove and serve.• Do not freeze any cooked recipe that contains corn starch.• Corn flour may be used as a substitute for arrowroot powder in specific recipes.• It may be used in preparation such as custard, cakes, coating cutlets before frying.How to store• If stored in an airtight, dry container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, cornstarch will last for long.• You may also put it in a plastic bag and refrigerate to improve the shelf life.Health benefits• Cornmeal or maize flour versus corn starch is comparable to whole wheat flour versus white flour. Cornmeal includes the whole corn grain (bran, germ, and endosperm) while cornstarch or corn flour is refined (bran and germ removed). Whole grain equals a good source of dietary fibre.• For heart health (and health overall) it is best to limit refined grains and increase whole grains.

What else is there to do on a Friday night besides enjoy some good food with great company?
I don't think I can remember the last time I went 'out' and got drunk on a Friday night, and I'm not even ashamed lol I guess I'm growing up :')
Anyways, I came here on a Friday night at prime dinner time, around 7 pm. It was pretty packed inside, but not too busy. I only had to wait 15 minutes for a table for two.
They have a bar on the right and the tables on the left. This was a crazy small space!! No wonder they're so busy - they don't have room to serve anyone haha.
While their drink menu is on the table, their main menu is on a chalkboard at the back of their little space. The list of tacos available (I am not sure if they change it depending on the day/season?) are on the left, while they have their other specialty dishes on the right.
And in a whoosh, our food arrived! I think we waited for a total of 10 minutes? Impressive!
Round 1:
Beef Cheek
Baja Fish
Pork Belly Al Pastor
Omnomnom - these tacos were not the biggest, so we were still quite hungry after. We decided to just order 1 more each and then go somewhere else.
Cochinita Pibil (roast pork)
Cozy little place once the sunlight is gone and their lights are on.
Overall, I enjoyed my meal here. I enjoyed the tacos, as they were really flavourful. However, I really did not find them to-die-for like everyone else. I was very happy with my choices though and would definitely order them again! But I really want to try one of their other specialty dishes. The Spicy BBQ Wings were a very popular dish that I saw at a lot of tables - I would want to try that and the guac!

The world's most coveted blind tasted awards, The Great Taste, has released the stars of 2017 and Dawn Meats is amongst the producers celebrating having been awarded gold stars for 14 products, including a 3-star for our 'Swaledale Lamb Rack'.
The Guild of Fine Food underpins the British speciality food sector, with the recognised Great Taste Awards for produce that surpasses excellence in quality, taste and innovation. To receive a 3-star rating, every judge at each judging session, had to unanimously agree that the product had achieved absolute perfection by delivering exceptional quality and taste. Dawn Meats are proud to carry the Great Taste logo as it is a badge of honour but more importantly a signpost to our wonderful tasting products.
Recognised as a stamp of excellence among consumers and retailers alike, Great Taste values taste above all else, with branding and packaging removed prior to tasting. The judges then savour, confer and re-taste to decide which products are worthy of a 1-, 2- or 3-star award.
This year saw the Great Taste judging road-shows take place in Llandrillo College, North Wales, the Guild's Headquarters in Gillingham, Dorset and the new venue and permanent home close to Borough Market, London. Judged over an intense 62 days from March through to early July, by over 400 of the nation's most discerning palates belonging to food critics, chefs, cooks, restauranteurs, producers and a host of food writers and journalists, Great Taste is widely recognised as the most respected food accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality fine food and drink.
Of the 12,366 products that were entered this year, only 165 products achieved the highest and most coveted rating, three stars – including our very own 'Swaledale Lamb Rack Cap On'.
Commentary from the judges on our 3-star accredited 'Swaledale Lamb Rack Cap On' included: "A beautifully butchered rack of lamb", "An excellent product, deserving of all accolades it can get", and "stunning, I'd definitely go back and buy that again and I wouldn't worry about the price point either".
Dawn Meats are proud to have received a Gold award at the World Steak Challenge 2017 for its grass fed 28 month Shorthorn Sirloin Steak from Cardington. Now in its third year, the World Steak Challenge was held at The Magic Roundabout in Old Street, London on 4th July.
The global challenge, which recognises Gold and Silver Medal steak quality, was presented by Global Meat News. This year's competition saw 17 countries and 25 breeds represented with more than 90 entries involved across the categories. Each steak was judged against internationally agreed criteria, that covered both raw and cooked technical testing. A two-stage judging process ensured that each steak was sampled by both a panel of expert judges and a panel of consumer judges. Each entry is judged on a variety of factors including marbling, trim, aroma, succulence and taste.
Rod Addy, editor of GlobalMeatNews, said: "The sheer range and quality of entries this year is a testament to the hard work put in by producers across the globe. This year's Challenge has attracted a record number of entries, reflecting the pride producers take in steak production and the importance of winning this accolade to propel their business and their brand".
Commenting on the Gold Award, Mike Roach, Dawn Meats, said: "We are proud to have been awarded Gold by the panel at this year's World Steak Challenge. Not only is it testament to the hard work and dedication of our top class producers, it is a great endorsement of our exclusive process which combines tradition and technology to consistently produce an outstanding steak. We are delighted that the Judges enjoyed them as much as we enjoyed selecting, producing and presenting them."
Dawn Meats was delighted to accept the awards for 'Best Beef Product', 'Best Red Meat Product' and 'Young Manager of the Year' at this year's Meat Management Industry Awards which took place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on Wednesday 28th June 2017.
As one of the highlights of the meat industry calendar, the annual Meat Management Industry Awards sets a benchmark for recognising excellence throughout the meat industry. Dawn Meats was awarded 'Best Beef Product' for their Extra Special Slow Cooked West Country Teriyaki Beef Rib as supplied to Asda. The product was also selected as overall winner of the 'Best Red Meat Product' which recognises the top product from the three category winners – Beef, Lamb and Pork/Pigmeat.
Commenting, Kristian Gabrielson, Asda Account Manager, Dawn Meats said: "We are proud to have been awarded 'Best Beef Product' and chosen as 'Best Red Meat Product'. We attribute this success to the innovative approach our dedicated and passionate team take and our commitment to quality combined with our expertise and exceptional customer service".
Other products from Dawn Meats to receive recognition on the night included:
Chuck 'n' Rib Beef Burger – Finalist – Best Burger
ASDA Extra Special Slow Cooked Lamb Tagine - Highly Commended – Best Lamb Product
ASDA Extra Special Slow Cooked Coq au Vin – Finalist – Best Poultry Product
Young Manager of the Year Award
Gerard Kennedy, Site Operations Manager at Highland Meats, a division of Dawn Meats (UK) has been named 'Young Manager of the Year' at this year's Meat Management Industry Awards.
To be considered for the award Meat Management were looking for candidates under the age of 34 with initiative, someone to watch for in the future and someone who is looking at the industry as a whole, not just within their specific job role and the day to day running of the business or department.
Having first joined as a graduate in 2009 Ger progressed quickly through the Graduate Training Programme, and worked across numerous sites in both the UK and Ireland. In 2014, Ger took over as Site Operations Manager in Highland Meats. Under Ger's management, the site of 280 people is a strong inclusive team who strive for continuous improvement. The site has improved all of its' key customer quality & service scores, including complaints and audit results. In addition, throughputs in the factory have increased while budget and cost control measures have been tightened and improved.
As part of the award process, Ger was interviewed by a panel of 5 industry professionals. The interview process involved taking a dive into his history within the industry, his ambitions and where he sees himself in 5-10 years. Ger also had to provide his views on the meat industry, what he sees for the future of the industry, the challenges it faces and how these challenges may be tackled.
The panel included: Keith Fisher, Chief executive, Institute of Meat, Bill Jermey, Chief executive, Food & Drink Training & Education Council Ltd, Rob Smith, Director of Blue Fish Marketing Consultancy and Meat Management magazine contributor, Christine Walsh, Managing director, Meat & Livestock Commercial Services, Emily Ansell-Elfer, Editor, Meat Management magazine and Graham Yandell, publisher of Meat Management magazine as Chair.
Commenting on Ger's award, Ken Hallahan, UK Operations Director, Dawn Meats said: "Ger's inclusive and supportive management style has allowed him to be successful in the development of both the Highland Meats site itself and the management team. His leadership skills and approach have helped him to drive through a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration across functions and responsibilities".
Helen Rees, Group HR, Dawn Meats said: "Ger is an excellent example of the progression that may be achieved by graduates through the Dawn Meats Brighter Futures programme. His rapid rise through the company is testament to his hardworking and meticulous nature. Ger demonstrates all the key skills and characteristics required to succeed in this industry and is a real asset to the business".
Dawn Meats has agreed a strategic partnership with Dunbia to establish a majority owned joint venture ['JV'] in the United Kingdom comprising the UK operations of both organisations. Dawn will separately acquire Dunbia's operations in the Republic of Ireland. The deal is subject to approval by the relevant competition authorities.
In Ireland, Dawn Meats will have 9 facilities (including 5 abattoirs), following the addition of two complementary Dunbia facilities - one abattoir in Slane, and one boning hall in Kilbeggan.
The combined UK businesses will trade as Dunbia and will deliver enhanced scale and market presence to better serve existing farmer suppliers and customers of both organisations across the retail, manufacturing, wholesale and food service sectors. The businesses are highly complementary, and will offer customers regionally sourced solutions for both beef and lamb from 15 facilities across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Dunbia's CEO Jim Dobson, OBE will be CEO of the new Dunbia JV, and Dawn Meats' CEO Niall Browne, will be Executive Chairman. The JV will be run from Dunbia's existing headquarters in Dungannon, Northern Ireland.
Commenting, Niall Browne, CEO of Dawn Meats said: "We are both family businesses with a deep connection to farming and a culture and business ethos that is centered on quality and sustainability. Given the uncertainty posed by Brexit, this partnership should further underpin the competiveness of both operations to the benefit of all stakeholders in the UK, Ireland and across Europe."
"We are very excited about the future of both companies and the opportunities that this transaction will bring for our staff, customers and suppliers. In our key operating markets we will be involved in 3 leading national businesses with Dawn Meats in Ireland, Dunbia in the UK and Elivia in France, with our cooperative partners Terrena."
Jim Dobson, CEO of Dunbia said: "This is the right strategic partnership for Dunbia's staff and customers and sees us joining with a company with a shared heritage of excellence in the production of premium beef and lamb products. The new UK joint venture confirms our future as a leading supplier in the UK market. In a consolidating industry this deal makes strategic sense for both companies, our customers and our farmer suppliers."
Dawn Meats has become the first Irish food manufacturing company to achieve the coveted Business Working Responsibly Mark at its Carroll's Cross site in Waterford. A significant milestone on our journey to becoming Europe's most sustainable meat company, Dawn Meats last night joined a group of only 25 companies in Ireland to have attained this standard.
The Mark represents a challenging standard and is modelled on internationally recognized ISO 26000. A comprehensive review of the business from corporate responsibility governance, to workplace, marketplace, environment and community practices took place at audit stage, which was completed over two days in May.
Dawn Meats has been widely recognized for its achievements in environmental sustainability and the Mark is further validation of this work and the work undertaken in broader areas of sustainability.
Dawn Meats CEO Niall Browne commented: "We have set ourselves the goal of becoming Europe's most sustainable meat company and the endorsement by BITC, with the achievement of the Business Working Responsibly Mark at Carroll's Cross is further evidence of our progress. Over the last two years we have updated our sustainability strategy, published our first CSR report and broadened our engagement with stakeholders. As a business we are committed to continuous improvement and are excited by what is achievable over the coming years."
Head of CSR David O' Flynn added: "Being awarded the Mark is tremendous recognition of the commitment shown by Dawn Meats to responsible business practices. Over the last 18 months the team has worked with BITC's Mark framework to develop a formalised and documented approach to responsibility and sustainability. Dawn Meats knows that being responsible and sustainable works in harmony and synergy with business growth and it is this knowledge that ensures our continuation on this path."

Dawn Meats has achieved ISO 50001 certification for its development and implementation of an efficient energy use policy in accordance with the highest international standards at its retail packing plant, Dawn Cross Hands in South Wales.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides world-class specifications for products, services and systems, to ensure quality, safety and efficiency, from technology, to food safety, to agriculture and healthcare. ISO 50001 is one of their most sought after standards. Dawn Cross Hands had previously been certified to the ISO 14001 Standard.
Dawn Cross Hands is a large energy user with an annual bill of close to £1 million and refrigeration makes up a significant percentage of the total energy used at the site. With the development, implementation and integration of an energy management system aimed specifically at refrigeration consumption, the site has reduced its refrigeration consumption by 6% delivering significant financial returns, and resulting in its ISO 50001 certification.
Commenting Ken Hallahan, UK Operations Director, Dawn Meats said, "ISO certification is recognized and respected by farmer suppliers, retailer and food service customers, and the general public as it provides reassurance and certainty that an organisation is operating to an international standard. Dawn Meats views effective energy management as an essential strategic requirement of the business, so it is fitting that Dawn Cross Hands has achieved this certification".
Michael Brophy of Certification Europe said, "Dawn Meats deserve to be congratulated for what they have achieved. Not only have they pushed the boundaries in energy management, they have put themselves amongst a very select group of organisations worldwide that have achieved the Energy Management standard (ISO 50001). Being certified makes it clear that the organisation is committed to improving the operational and environmental efficiency of its Utilities and Energy. With Certification to ISO 50001 through Certification Europe, Dawn Meats have given clear evidence of this commitment".
The achievements in refrigeration energy consumption will now be replicated on other significant energy users at Dawn Cross Hands, and upon review of the benefits, the wider Dawn Group plans to roll out the standard elsewhere in its network of plants.
ISO 50001 provides a framework of requirements for organisations to develop a policy for more efficient use of energy; set targets and objectives; use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use; and measure the results, continually reviewing and improving how the policy works.
Dawn Meats has announced ambitious 2025 targets to reduce water and energy intensity by 40% and CO2 emission intensity by 50%. The commitments are contained in our first CSR report which also sets out the ambitious goal of becoming Europe's most sustainable meat company.
Sustainability across the wider business has been prioritised since Dawn Meats published its first sustainability plan in 2009. As one of the first verified members of Origin Green, Dawn Meats has had its sustainability credentials endorsed by many external agencies, and since 2012 annual progress under Origin Green has been independently assessed to the highest international standards.
Commenting on the 2016 CSR report, CEO Niall Browne said, "None of this would be possible without the commitment of our staff. We have a really strong CSR committee at management level, but the buy-in throughout the organisation has been a credit to every member of the team. 2025 is fast approaching, and we will continue to keep a close eye on our targets to ensure that we meet and exceed them where possible."
Group Head of CSR David O'Flynn commented, "At Dawn Meats we recognise that doing the right thing will build a more robust business for the future which will benefit employees, customers and farmers. Our CSR strategy is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and I am very excited about what we have committed to achieve and we will engage widely to deliver on these objectives."
Dawn Meats works with 15,000 Irish farmers and 5,000 British farmers, contributing over €550m to local rural economies across Ireland, and €450m across the UK. The CSR report details many of our 2016 achievements.
An example of how Dawn Meats is approaching the sustainability challenge can be found in the progress achieved with our Eco Drive initiative in 2016, which has seen hauliers achieve a reduction of 1m litres of fuel and saving 2,500 tons of CO2. These savings have been achieved collaboratively through an investment by hauliers in training and more fuel-efficient vehicles.
Dawn Meats reputation of innovation in premium meat products continued in 2016 and in this year we launched more than 100 new and innovative value added meat products with major European supermarket chains.
We also focused in 2016 on expanding internal communication - leveraging social media, intranet and bulletin boards, around themes such as the environment, health and well-being and food safety. Employees came together to participate in events such as our dedicated Health Week 2016, with over 900 staff attending health clinics for check-ups. 2016 also saw Dawn Meats donate almost €200,000 to local charities, and its staff volunteered over 2,000 hours to causes which are valued by employees and the communities where they operate.
In keeping with our mission to provide consistent, quality meat products from sustainable sources, we continued to work in 2016 with our partners Teagasc, the Irish Farmers Journal and McDonald's to progress research into sustainable beef production at the Newford Demonstration Farm in Athenry. The farm showcases beef production utilising natural grass advantage and alternative breeds to deliver appropriate muscle size and shape for modern European consumers.
Dawn Meats was delighted to support the NFU Scotland's Annual Dinner, which took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow as part of the Union's Conference and AGM on Monday 6th February 2017.
Over 500 diners were served up a showcase menu of some of the very best food and drink that Scotland has to offer including our very own Caledonia Crown PGI Scotch Beef which featured as the main course on the menu.
Isla Roebuck, Operations Director of Dawn Meats commented: "It was a privilege to supply this year's NFU annual dinner with our Caledonia Crown PGI Scotch Beef and a fantastic opportunity to showcase to guests the exceptional quality and reputation that our Caledonia Crown PGI Scotch Beef delivers time after time."
NFU Scotland, Chief Executive, Scott Walker commented: "Every day of the year our farmers are working hard to produce the high-quality food and drink that is available right on our doorsteps. This year's annual dinner is once again a celebration of that passion and enthusiasm. I am particularly grateful to the companies throughout Scotland who have sponsored or supplied the produce for this year's dinner. I know that our Scottish farmers take immense pride in what they grow and produce, testament to the thriving food and drink industry we have in this country. I am very much aware that consumers, here and abroad, recognise and value the provenance and quality of the food we produce here in Scotland, something that the Union will continue to champion."
NFU Scotland, President, Andrew McCornick commented: "We wanted to use this opportunity to showcase the highest quality produce from Scottish farms and this was achieved thanks to Dawn Meats generous contribution of top quality Caledonia Crown beef for our dinner which drew the highest level of compliments from all who attended".

The 2nd annual Great Agri-Food Debate will take place at 2.30pm on Wednesday 22nd of February in the Garret Fitzgerald Debating Chamber in University College Dublin (UCD). Food and agriculture students from Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) will join students from UCD to debate the motion: "Brexit will be good for the Irish Agri-Food Industry".
This is the second year that UCD will play host to the Great Agri-Food Debate, a joint initiative of Dawn Meats & McDonald's Ireland and it follows a successful inaugural event last year.
While the Irish food and drinks industry waits to see what will unfold as Britain exits the European Union, companies are developing plans to reconfigure their businesses and minimize the downside risks. The ideas shared by the students will add new perspectives to an already dynamic discussion.
Justin McCarthy, Editor of the Irish Farmers Journal, will Chair the debate and the judging panel will comprise Niall Browne, CEO, Dawn Meats; Adrian Crean, Managing Director, McDonald's Ireland and Tara McCarthy, CEO Bord Bia. Dawn Meats and McDonald's Ireland are co-sponsoring the event.
Commenting Niall Browne, CEO said; "We held this debate for the first time last year, and I think we were all struck by the vigour of the debate and the knowledge of the participants. We have long known that our 3rd level institutions are a rich source of talent and innovative thinking and with Britain's exit from the EU on the horizon, it's a key issue on which students should have an informed opinion."
Commenting Adrian Crean, MD McDonald's Ireland said; "It's great to be heading back to UCD again this year to encourage debate of one of the really key issues of the day. McDonald's in Ireland is going from strength to strength as a business and like many other companies Brexit is a challenge on the horizon. It's important that we listen to the views of the next generation of business leaders and all stakeholders as we consider the possible impact on the business environment."
Following on from the success of last year's debate, there is expected to be great interest. All are welcome to attend.

We do love it if we can give someone a helping hand and adore working with new businesses – we all had to start somewhere and if we can make it easier by giving a few pointers then that is wonderful. We think it is great the way network members are so generous with their advice and time for the new businesses – we really do work with some fabulous people. The great thing is that loyalty inspires loyalty, we are working with some amazing people who are at the top of their field now but when we first met, they were just starting out like many of you. The fact that actually they are firm friends now rather than 'customers' says such a lot and means the world to us.

A Spanish lesson
An impressive Villarreal put us to the sword in the first of two home friendlies at White Hart Lane this summer.
An impressive Villarreal put us to the sword in the first of two home friendlies at White Hart Lane this summer.
The La Liga side were ruthless in their approach and ran out comfortable 4-1 winners on the night, mainly thanks to a hat-trick from former Manchester United and Newcastle striker Giuseppe Rossi.
After going in 2-0 down at the break, a host of Spurs changes at half-time looked to turn the game in our favour when Giovani Dos Santos pulled a goal back on 56 minutes.
But a killer third and a late fourth from Marco Ruben put the game beyond our reach and gave the Spaniards a deserved victory overall.
We were buoyed by the return to action of our World Cup players, with Heurelho Gomes, Michael Dawson, Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe on from the start.
And we started brightly enough. Vedran Corluka's raking pass from the back set captain Robbie Keane clear. He chose to take on a cheeky chip from a tight angle but so nearly beat Diego Lopez who just about managed to tip it over the bar.
But threats on the Villarreal goal were few and far between in the first 45, and instead it was Gomes who proved to be the busier of the two goalkeepers.
He saw David Fuster and Santi Cazorla put efforts wide before the deadlock was broken on 22 minutes.
Spain international Cazorla found the smallest of gaps in our defence to thread Rossi through to finish low and hard.
The men in yellow continued to keep possession well and doubled their lead 10 minutes later.
Dawson slipped when trying to cut out Marcos Senna's throughball and Rossi once again raced on to double his tally for the night.
Things needed to change and they certainly did when seven substitutions were made by Harry Redknapp at half-time.
Suddenly, we upped the tempo and one of those changes, Gareth Bale, instigated a gilt-edged chance. The flying Welshman made a strong run to the by-line and a pulled a ball back which found its way to Kyle Walker at the back post who shot wide with the goal gaping.
But another chance was to come our way six minutes later and this time we made the most of it. Giovani, on the back of an impressive World Cup with Mexico, linked up with Peter Crouch to race on and finish neatly.
It looked game on and we so nearly found an equaliser on 65 minutes when a Niko Kranjcar corner caused a bit of havoc and, after a bit of head tennis, Crouch looked as if he would head into an empty net before Diego Lopez popped up from nowhere to deny the big man.
But five minutes later it was game over. Rossi completed his hat-trick with a shot from outside the box that took a wicked deflection off Corluka to wrong-foot young David Button in goal and make it three.
The visitors had more chances to put the game even further out of our reach, most notably Jefferson Montero who contrived to put wide of an empty net after Ruben centred with Button stranded.
But they did make it four three minutes from time when, after another spell of keep-ball from the La Liga side, Borja Valero's low cross was tapped home by Ruben at the back post.
The scoreline did perhaps flatter the Spaniards after our spirited second half performance, but it does provide a warning before our Champions League campaign begins as to how clinical a top European side can be.
Still, that's what pre-season is for! Benfica away next - it doesn't get any easier!

Lies? For that is only a perception depending on how much your mind has been deceived.
The comment about solving nothing. Seems to me like you arent capable of mentally self gratifying and deny the fact that impossibilities are completely possible just not yet acheiveable, and what makes you so sure that it will solve nothing?
I have given a great Technical explanation as to what is going on with his circuit.
have you began development yet? and how small of a device did you want to make? and what will you attempt to power with this device? if i ever ask anything thats to specific theres no need to answer.

Zero Point Energy is like piercing the boundries of or Univeres Space/Time Membrane in order to connect to another Divergent Universal State. This take a hell of a lot more than simple frequency manipulation.
The process would have to be able to harness Energy Interconnectivity in another Universal state via One Dimentionality or Singularity. In able to do this you would need to understand the Unified Field Theory which at current Human Brain Development...we are not able to grasp. Split Infinity

Ok, here's the deal. I recently purchased a whole heap of electronics and magnets and stuff like that so I should have most of the things I need to build some sort of free energy machine. However, I'm not really sure where to start. I need suggestions from you guys. I would prefer to build some sort of over-unity electronic circuit but I'll also try building some magnet-based generators if you have any good suggestions.
It should be clear from my post history (see some of the threads in my signature) that I am not any type of disinfo agent and I am not aiming to discredit anyone. I really want to create a working over-unity device and share my success with the world. I will post clear, detailed, extensive video footage of any devices which I think are working as claimed. I will also let you guys know which devices I think don't work as claimed.
Please try to follow these points when making suggestions:
1) You must have reasonable knowledge that the device does work as claimed
2) You must provide full detailed schematics or instructions for building the device
3) I would prefer to attempt simpler machines rather than large complex machines
Fire away.

When I was asked as a young child what do you want to be when you grow up my response was always the same—a teacher. However, for various reasons I chose a different path after high school, receiving a Bachelor's of Science in Biology Despite this fact, my childhood dream was indirectly always a part of me, as I have been an informal educator for the past 16 years. As an environmental educator, my contributions have been ones filled with service, commitment, and a passion to teach others about protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. I have written and published two, K – 12 curricula for educators, that spotlight Georgia's unique and diverse flora, fauna, and aquatic habitats. Since 2002, I have taught over 2900 statewide educators in the professional development workshops I have led. However, it was because of my commitment and passion to education that I made the decision to pursue the Masters in Arts in Teaching with the desire to fulfill my childhood dream of teaching students on a daily basis. I am very excited with this new chapter in my life, as I guide my students and myself into the wonderful world of learning.
Hands-on, minds-on learning that incorporates differentiated instruction. I am a big proponent of outdoor learning and using the environment to connect students to real-world learning opportunties.

Doctors who helped treat the wounded in the Bali bombing 10 years ago say they are still emotionally affected by what they saw.
Former Australian of the Year Fiona Wood says she and other medical personnel who worked the night of the first Bali bombing a decade ago are still affected by it.
Professor Wood, who worked at Royal Perth Hospital where some of the wounded were flown after the bombing on 12 October, 2002, said the event still affected her emotionally.
AAP reports she told the War and Disaster 2012 conference in Darwin that she thought she was over the trauma of what she had seen, but later learned that perhaps she wasn't.
Professor Wood said she found herself crying when she recently heard a survivor of the bombing talk.
"With respect to the health professionals who work in this field, it is a rollercoaster," she told AAP after her presentation. "Some days you are down, some days you are up," she said.
AAP reports Royal Perth Hospital treated 28 of the victims of the bombing.
During the crisis Professor Wood said her response was to work hard, because by doing things she was able to cope and keep moving forward.
"I think the challenge comes when that stops and you listen as I did 10 years on and I thought `whoa, I was part of that'," she said.
Professor Wood was named Australian of the Year in 2005 for her revolutionary work in the field of burns treatment.
Rocky time for surgeon
Dr David Read, a surgeon who travelled to Bali to help treat survivors the day after the bombing on 12 October, 2002, also said he was impacted by what he saw.
"It was a pretty rocky 18 months for me after that," Dr Read said.
He said he knew other medical personnel who had struggled to cope with what they had seen.
"One bloke I met over there went right off the rails and got PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) after all of this. He was a medic," he said.
Sanglah Hospital chief executive Dr Wayan Sutarga of Bali, said he didn't like to recall the events of the night of the bombing. "It is still painful for us," he said.
The conference in Darwin is being held ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Bali Bombing on Friday.
A total of 202 people were killed: including 88 Australians, 32 Indonesians, 24 Britons and three New Zealanders.
