SHINING STAR VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

William “Bill” Scheibal

has been chosen as the

Shining Star for May and

June 2017. He currently

serves at the Tyler Public

Library as a shelver and

teaches science classes

during the Makerspace

events.

“Over my life, I have

taken thousands of books off

of the shelf, so I decided to

put some back,” he jokingly

stated.

William is a lawyer by

trade but has taught several

different classes at

universities across the United

States. Subjects include, but

are not limited to,

communications, managerial

law, business and civil rights

and liberties. He has taught

at the University of North

Carolina-Charlotte and

retired from Bryant

University in Rhode Island.

He even taught Earl

Campbell in his Intro to

Speech class during a stint at

the University of Texas.

He also volunteers at the

Literacy Council of Tyler.

He tutors GED students

individually and teaches a

science class there. He is

now gearing up to start

college prep classes that are

focused on math and writing.

Although William used to

be an avid skier and

motorcycle rider, he now

reads many books and plays

tournament-level table tennis

with others.

“Bill is like our own Bill

Nye the Science Guy.

Ashley Taylor, circulation

supervisor, said. “The more

you talk to him, the more

you realize that he is

knowledgeable of

several subjects.”

Congratulations to

William Scheibal for

sharing your knowledge

with the City of Tyler.

Volunteer Tyler

appreciates your

service.

RECIPE

Vietnamese-Style

Pork Chops with

Fresh Herb Salad

Ingredients

1 large shallot, chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped

⅓ cup (packed) light brown sugar

¼ cup fish sauce

2 tablespoons dark or regular soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

4 ¼–½-inch-thick bone-in pork rib chops

Kosher salt

3 firm red plums, cut into ½-inch wedges

2 scallions, dark- and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced

1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced

2 cups torn mixed herb leaves (such as Thai or sweet basil, cilantro, and/or mint)

½ cup bean sprouts

2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

1. Blend shallot, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil and pepper in a blender.

2. Transfer marinade to a large resealable plastic bag.

3. Add pork chop and turn to coat. Seal bag, pressing out air; chill at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

4. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high.)

5. Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip back into bag; season both sides with salt.

6. Grill pork chops, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.

7. Meanwhile, toss plums, scallions, chile, herbs, bean sprouts, and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt; toss again.

8. Serve pork with salad and lime wedges.
