Summer is here and the Primary Election is over. Meanwhile, we still have our eyes on the end of summer, the filing deadline of August 8th. We're still campaigning strong with the hope that no one announces. It's supporters like you that keep this campaign going. As time goes on I'm striving more and more to make this newsletter look outside myself and become a valuable outlet for information in the community and local government. With the recent election, another coming in November, and so much happening within the city, there's never been a better time to show people Salinas from the perspective of a city councilman.
Thank you for sticking with us through a whirlwind campaign season. Keep in touch with us on Facebook, email, and in person, I really love you!
Sincerely,
Steve McShane
Salinas City Councilman
District 3

B-29 Comes Through Salinas
A few weekends ago Steve snuck out to the Salinas Airport to see the Air Power Tour as they came through town. Not many people seem to know they were here, but you could not miss the droning B-29 as it flew overhead. Amazingly, the WWII era bomber is the only flying B-29 in the world.
When the Air Show isnt in town it's easy to forget that the Airport is still active and an incredible resource to the area. Thank you to the chamber of commerce and the Air Power Tour for reminding us!

Capitol One Building
As many have heard the county is considering buying the Capitol One building - a move which nearly all downtown businesses are adamantly against. KSBW has been doing a good job keeping tabs on things and Steve had a chance to say his piece last week.
There's lots of work to be done and Steve is making sure we do everything we can to keep the County close to downtown.

Fireworks in Salinas
Fireworks are an area of contention in Salinas, even amongst the leaders of the City. Some people wants an all out ban, others think it is a great addition to community and a help to non-profits. It's a complex issue that I had the pleasure of writing about for the Californian and one that affects many in my Distsrict.

Did You Know, Salinas?
 Did you know that the first Mayor of Salinas' house is now a musuem? Built in 1868 it has literally been picked up and moved three times, finally finding it's home next to the railroad station at the intersection of Market and Salinas St. Its restoration was a painstaking process based on photographs and even the digital recreation of the original wallpaper discovered when scraping paint from the walls. Now it serves as an historical time capsule used to teach children about the history of Salinas and the importance of learning from the past.

Steve loves to cook. He is especially fond of cooking food that came right out of his garden. For as much as he likes a hearty meal, he enjoys a fantastic treat. Every month we will share one of his favorite recipes.

This Month's Featured Recipe:
Steve's Killer Toffee Almond Sensation
One Christmas I decided to make some of the scratch toffee I had received for years as gifts. I researched and experimented in the Kitchen and came up with a winning receipe.
You will need:
- 1 pound butter - High Quality - I like Challenge Butter.
- 2-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 pound whole almonds
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips - Always Ghirardelli.
- 1 cup almonds, finely chopped
Begin by spreading foil inside a metal baking pan. Grease the heck out of it with some Pam Cooking Spray. On the stovetop, you will want to combine the butter and sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Once its boiling, keep cooking away for another five minutes stirring like crazy.
Next, drop in the whole almonds. You'll know you're done cooking when the almonds split (about ten minutes). The mixture will be golden tan. You'll pour it into your foil lined pan.
Next, you'll want to melt your chocolate in a double boiler. As soon as the "candy" part is hard, cover it with half of your melted chocolate and then dust that with the chopped almonds. Once that has firmed up, flip it and repeat the process on the other side. You will let things firm up over night and then break it into bite size pieces.

 Summertime is always a season of fun. I can't guarantee that we'll have good weather, but I can tell you that all of the events you just read about will be a blast. I hope to see you all there if not sooner! I'll say it again, you're the reason I'm running, and the reason I can run. Thank You. - Steve |
