W
laugh.” The 17-year-old lives with his grandparents, Rhonda Reed and
Jack Whited, and loves the amenities here at Glade, especially Lake
Chatham and the Neely Hole.
Although he is a transplanted South Carolinian, his family roots in
West Virginia run deep, and he is a loyal Mountaineer fan, citing for-
mer gold and blue greats Pat White and Tavon Austin as his favorites.
Born in Parkersburg, he lived his first 12 years in the Mountain State.
His dad was a talented pitcher in his own right and gave his son an
opportunity to excel at the game, but travel teams, off-season camps,
and private baseball tutors left him “a little burned out on baseball.”
Between that and getting a little behind academically during the
pandemic, he’s spending his spring getting caught up in the class-
room and concentrating on getting stronger in the weight room under
the eye of Coach Phil Cullicerto, who evaluates his young Tiger this
way. “He came to us with some natural gifts. Good feet and excellent
hands. If he decides to really get stronger this spring and summer, he
could really help us next fall.”
Last season Ian stepped into the lineup when the injury bug hit Shady
and responded with several interceptions from his position at corner-
back as well as several fumble recoveries. He also saw some time at
wide-out where he could utilize his speed and soft hands.
If not hanging with his pals, Ian likes to spend free time watching
sports or playing sports games like 2K Basketball or Madden NFL. He
listens to rap and lists Little Skies and Young Bands as his favorite
artists. A trip to Chick-Fil-A usually results in a couple spicy chicken
sandwiches and large fries.
Ms. Sizemore teaches his favorite class, English 11. “She makes class
fun and challenges us,” he says with gratitude. After high school, he
plans to return to South Carolina to continue his education at Trident

Submitted by
Ying Wei Mulready
Like dumplings, almost every country has its own version of
meatball. The Chinese version is to use pork belly and chopped
it to almost a paste form and then add corn starch for binding.
Bread crumb was not used until Western cooking influence
came in from the ‘80s.
Lion’s Head is a classic one-pot large meatball dish from Shanghai.
The idea is that – a little imagination would help here – a large
meatball presented on a bed of braised Chinese Bak Choy,
vaguely, resembles the head and mane of a lion.
This recipe is the “red-cooked” version using dark and light soy
sauce combined for braising. The dark soy sauce is to add color and
aroma, and the light soy sauce is to add flavor. If you don’t have
dark soy sauce* don’t go and buy a bottle, just call me and I will
gladly share. Or substitute with low-sodium soy sauce. Rock sugar
also acts as a thickening agent, which I have plenty to share.
