“The results of the City of New Castle’s municipal election on April 13, 2013 produced an unprecedented three way tie for the final two seats on City Council. Sitting Council members John W. Cochran and John J. Gaworski, Jr. along with candidate Albert J. Vannucci, Jr. each received a total of 472 votes. Each of the two open Council seats is for a two year term. Per City Charter, the outgoing Council is required to break the tie vote by selecting the winning candidates. However, I was advised in a letter received today from Councilman Gaworski, that he was withdrawing his name as a candidate for Council following six years of dedicated and distinguished service. Mr. Gaworski explained that he did not want to be the source of any controversy or unnecessary expense for the City nor force the remaining Council members to select from among three qualified candidates. With Mr. Gaworski 's voluntary withdrawal from consideration, Mr. Cochran and Mr. Vannucci will be sworn in as members of Council for two year terms in the near future”.

directionsBraise the short ribs: Preheat the oven to 325º. Toss the short ribs with the flour and season liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the short ribs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.Add the carrot, chopped onion and leek to the pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Return the short ribs to the pot and stir in the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, garlic and tomato paste. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, then cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and return to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and braise until the short ribs are falling off the bone, 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours.Meanwhile, caramelize the onions: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, reduce the heat to low and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, about 2 hours, 30 minutes. (Add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits from the pot, if necessary.)When the short ribs are done, remove from the broth with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Strain the broth, discarding the solids. Shred the meat, discarding the bones, and toss with 1 cup of the broth. Reserve the remaining broth.Add the thyme leaves and sherry to the caramelized onions. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes; add the reserved broth and cook 30 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Skim the fat from the top of the soup. Stir in the vinegar.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Divide the soup among 6 ovenproof bowls; spoon about 1/3 cup shredded meat into the center of each, then top each with 2 slices toast, trimming the bread if necessary. Top each with 2 slices cheese, letting the cheese hang over the side of the bowl. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Top with chives.

Recently, the Colonial School Board voted to hold another operating referendum vote for Tues. June 4th.  The referendum vote is for 35 cents per $100 of assessed property value.  With the failed referendum on February 28th, we have listened to the community.  The proposed tax increase has been reduced from 47 cents to 35 cents, with the primary focus of the proposed tax amount for operating needs.Informational meetings are scheduled to hear the proposal and for the Board to hear from you.

Full Pink MoonThis full Moon heralded the appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox (one of the first spring flowers). It is also

known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon.

Historically, Native Americans living in what is now the northern and eastern

United States kept track of the seasons by giving a distinctive name to each full

Moon. This name was used to refer to the entire month in which the Moon occurred.
