Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!
Weighs one pound. Costs Four Bucks.

City Employee on Paid Leave
Thursday, July 17, 2008
John Briggs reports that Adam Cate, the city's waterfront manager has been placed on paid leave for reasons that haven't yet been disclosed to the public. From today's Burlington Free Press Online:
"John Ewing, whose tenure as Parks Commission chairman ended this week but who continues as a member of the five-person commission, said Cate was on paid leave, and added that was "all we know for certain. Everyone is anxious for this to be resolved. No one is going to know the true story until the true story is told,""
I'm not a big fan of paid leave. It's like a free paid vacation for somebody, usually because they did something wrong. Paid leave for a public employee is worse because it comes at the expense of taxpayers. Paid leave for a public employee for reasons not shared with the public, simply is not ok. Somebody needs to let us know what's going on here. Preferably Bob Kiss.

Adam Cate, the city's $55,000-a-year waterfront manager, has been placed on leave, meaning Burlington is without a key supervisor at the busiest time of year for the Parks and Recreation Department. Advertisement
"It's been a challenge," department head Wayne Gross said. "It's been stretching me very thin, personally, and Bob Whalen (superintendent of park planning and development). We're dealing with a whole lot of day-to-day things and with seasonal staff."
Gross confirmed that Cate was on leave, but said he could say nothing further.
John Ewing, whose tenure as Parks Commission chairman ended this week but who continues as a member of the five-person commission, said Cate was on paid leave, and added that was "all we know for certain. Everyone is anxious for this to be resolved. No one is going to know the true story until the true story is told," Ewing said.
The city's human resources director, Kristin Lonerwright, said she could not talk about any particular employee's leave status.
She said that categories of leave include paid and unpaid leave "for a variety of reasons." Decisions about allowing or mandating a leave, she said, can be made by an individual's department head, by human resources or by the mayor.
The resolution of any leave or its duration, she said, "depends on individual circumstances."
The matter has not made its way to the City Council.Ed Adrian, D-Ward 1, a member of the council's Parks Committee, said, "As far as I'm aware, no employment issues have been brought to the attention of the Parks Committee."Gross said Cate normally supervises the Community Boathouse and the city's docks for boaters. He added that Cate also had taken over some of the supervisory duties such as overseeing the city's campground and beach at North Beach Park formerly handled by Ben Pacy. Pacy's position wasn't filled after he moved to the Clerk-Treasurer's Office as assistant to Chief Administrative Officer Jonathan Leopold.
Cate supervised events at Oakledge Park, too, Gross said. The supervisory gaps, he said, were being filled by full-time staff and, at the boathouse, by an experienced seasonal employee -- one of about 300 the department hires each summer to supplement the full-time staff of about 40.Cate could not be reached for comment.
"He's come up through the ranks," Gross said of Cate. "I've promoted him. I do think highly of him."
Ewing seconded that view. Asked if he viewed Cate as a valuable employee, he answered, "Oh, yes. Definitely."
