Action Steps
Posted by Allison Hammond on Tuesday, October 21, 2014
The blog this week was written by Jennifer Goodwill, a Community Broker at The Arcadia Institute.
Often times the hardest part about working on a goal is just getting started. I'm sure that many of us can relate to this challenge. Why is it so hard to get started? I think it's because the goals or dreams we imagine for our future, as wonderful as they are, can seem daunting and overwhelming. Sometimes it is hard to imagine how we are going to get from where we are today, to where we hope to be in the future. Even if we know some of the steps we need to take to get to where we want to be, it can feel scary and intimidating to think about all of the work that needs to be done to accomplish our goals.
In Community Brokering, we understand that these fears and hesitations exist. Built into the Future Planning Process is an important piece that we call "Action Steps." As we walk alongside an individual in the MAP(making action plan) process, we take time to hear about their dream for the future and their story of where they are today. We listen to their worries. We invite the guests participating in the future planning process to share about the gifts and strengths they see in the person. Using all of this knowledge that we have gathered, we work together to explore places in the community where an individual may be able to use their gifts to accomplish their goals. The final step of the MAP is to identify specific action steps we willget started on within 48 hours to help the individual start progressing toward their dream.
We acknowledge that the path from where an individual is today to where they want to be may be a long journey. As Community Brokers, we help them to get started. We break down their big goals into small steps that will get them moving forward immediately. We invite their community circle to come alongside them and provide support as needed. As Community Brokers we walk with them, too, helping to facilitate their community to support them and to provide the hands on assistance they need. The journey may not always be easy, but through Community Brokering, the individual discovers their community is honored to walk with them along the way.
Creating the MAP (Making Action Plans)
Posted by Allison Hammond on Tuesday, October 14, 2014
The blog this week was written by Allison Hammond, Program Director at The Arcadia Institute.
Each of us can do something big or small to help the Focus Person of the MAP create their dreams and make our community better.
Community Brokering is a process, really a journey, not a program. Through Community Brokering we help people with disabilities to identify their communities, discover their dreams, understand their life story and plan for a futures planning meeting. We have discussed a few of these steps in the past few Blogs.
During the futures planning meeting, there are two tools that we use: MAP (Making Action Plans) or PATH (Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope). Whatever tool is used there are always a Facilitator who guides the meeting and a Recorder who draws the MAP or PATH.
The following is what happens during a MAP Meeting:
Welcome and Introductions
People say their names and why it is important for them to be at the meeting for the Focus Person.
Each name is recorded in the lower left corner of the MAP in a color of their choice
The Dream for the Future
A graphic depiction of the Focus Person's dreams is drawn in the upper right corner of
the MAP.
During this part of the MAP, the Facilitator guides the Focus Person to share what she wants for the future. This is not the time when the group starts to make a "laundry list" of things to do. Opportunity to list possible actions comes later. It is important during this time that the Facilitator keeps Focus Person's dreams for the future the central topic. Too often, the person has experienced others telling them what they should do or want based on assumptions about the Focus Person's capabilities and disabilities.
The Story
The story is drawn in the upper left corner of the MAP.
The person is asked to tell 2 stories from the past that illustrate how the person has
gotten to today. Then the Focus Person shares 1 story from the present that relates to the situation today.
Many times this part of the MAP process is eye-opening to the others present. People in the Focus Person's life many know parts of the person's story and situation, but when we let the Focus Person share the story, others see the whole person and learn about gifts or challenges they didn't really know. There are often many "aha" moments during this part of the MAP.
The Worries
The worries are drawn just under the Dream and take up very little space.
While it is important to recognize challenges or worries that may arise for the Focus Person, the Facilitator needs to keep this part of the MAP real, but not dwell on challenges.
The Gifts
Gifts are drawn and listed in the lower middle of the MAP.
This is the most fun, rewarding and empowering part of the MAP process.
During the time of listing gifts, the Focus Person is asked to listen as people who are very important to him name gifts and talents. This is where the MAP begins to lead toward possible actions in the community based on the Focus Person's gifts, not on disabilities. Again, during this part of the MAP, people begin to learn more about the Focus Person from the others present. They may be surprised to know some of the things the Focus Person can do well. Often assumptions they held are disassembled.
Sharing the Gifts in the Community
This part of the map is drawn just above the gifts.
Now, this is where the people from the Focus Person's community can start to make suggestions for places, activities and people that would benefit from the Focus Person's gifts. Usually there are typical suggestions about programs specifically for people with disabilities. This is where the Facilitator needs to guide the group to think more broadly. The Facilitator needs to remind the group that access to special programs is easy. Now, we are looking toward the whole community for opportunities for the person to reach for dreams and to make the community better.
Action Steps
Action Steps are listed just about the Sharing the Gifts part of the MAP
Action Steps are created LAST. After the group has gotten to know the Focus Person's dreams, story, gifts and opportunities. The steps may be very small and only need a phone call to be made to gather information. Sometimes the steps are bold and will take the person to a completely new place or activity. As actions are listed, a person who will take responsibility to make the action happen and a deadline are noted. People are often surprised by how much they can support the Focus Person. They don't have to be a teacher, therapist, social worker, etc. They each can do something big or small to help the Focus Person create the life in the community of their dreams.
The Agenda and Ground Rules
Posted by Allison Hammond on Wednesday, October 8, 2014
The blog this week was written by Jennifer Goodwill, a Community Broker at The Arcadia Insitute.
For the last few weeks, we have been discussing some different components of Community Brokering. One piece of Community Brokering that may at first may seem minor and insignificant, does in fact have a valuable role. I'm referring to the agenda and ground rules for a Future Planning Meeting.
There is much that is done upfront to prepare for a Future Planning meeting. It is at this meeting that we will create a MAP, Making Action Plan, detailing an individual's path to a full life in the community. In preparation for the MAP, we spend time getting to know an individual, we learn about the people in their community circles, and we explore the individual's dreams for the future. Another important step is to make sure that we set the tone and outline for the Future Planning meeting. At every meeting, or MAP gathering, we post the agenda and the ground rules so they are visible to everyone in the room, and we take time to read them out load. We believe this is an important part of the MAP process because it prepares everyone for the steps that we will go through in creating the MAP. Some times, people who are invited to attend a MAP, are not entirely sure they understand what is going to be accomplished at a MAP and they may not know what role they are going to play in the process. The agenda helps to shape the structure of the meeting, and lets everyone know that we have steps we will walk through together. Additionally, the ground rules help to establish the MAP gathering as a safe place where we will listen to the individual, respect each other's ideas, and take our time to work through the parts that are challenging.
The items that are typically included in the agenda are a welcome and introductions, sharing the story, honoring the dream, acknowledging the worries, naming the individual's gifts and strengths, identifying places in the community, listing action steps, and then sharing closing thoughts. Likewise, the ground rules state that we will listen to the individual, we will take time to think, we will give everyone an opportunity to contribute, we will respect each other's ideas, and we will take it slow through any parts that are challenging. When we are preparing for the MAP gathering, we talk to the individual about the agenda and ground rules. We ask them if there are steps we should adjust or rules we should add. By creating the agenda and ground rules, we keep the focus on the individual. We give the individual a voice and ownership of their meeting. The agenda and ground rules are a small piece of the whole MAP process, but they have a powerful message.
Turning the Lights Back On
Posted by Allison Hammond on Tuesday, September 30, 2014
The blog this week was written by Deborah Warfield, a Community Broker at The Arcadia Institute.
How can anyone expect to see clearly in a dark room until someone turns a light on? That is what we imagine it may feel like for a person who has struggled with disabilities over time. Often the formerly inflated balloons of hope need to be returned to our participants as we invite them to dream of where they may see themselves in the not so distant future. The dream development phase of community brokering guides individuals through pre-MAP conversations, with an intent to have them get in touch with a life without barriers or limitations. (Community Brokers are careful to keep ideas realistic without bursting any of their bubbles)
These series of spoken aspirations are also drawn in the form of colorful, picture symbols, which serve to help participants begin to visual a reality that matters to them. Dreams described also assist with the process of participants finding and expressing their voice. It is extremely important for participants to be able to have had ample time to think about their dream well ahead of the MAP session. Otherwise, when asked to describe components of their dream at the MAP session, in front of their community circle, they may feel like a deer caught in the headlights.
The beauty of taking time to visualize and having their dreams scribed pictorially whets their whistle towards clarifying their dream even deeper, along with their community circle members, on the actual day of the MAP session. It's not unlikely for the dream to change a bit from their original thoughts when it comes to completing the actual MAP. If a participant chooses to change or adjust components of the dream during the MAP session, it is not only acceptable, it is more than welcomed.
Inevitably, at the end of each one of these dream-describing sessions our participant's shoulders roll back a bit and they display an elevated aura of worth and renewed anticipation. Insights gained during this dreaming also help inform us in how to continue to best support them through these next steps.
Discovering Community
Posted by Allison Hammond on Tuesday, September 23, 2014
The blog this week was written by Allison Hammond, Program Director at The Arcadia Institute.
In the Community Broker Process, one of the most important steps is helping the person discover who is in their community outside of family and special services staff. Often people have not really been asked to name the people in their community. Listing family, close family friends and service/school staff comes easy, but who else does the person know that would be a valuable part of the Community Broker Process. Often during other encounters with the person we discover more connections. Maybe it is someone from a store the person goes to frequently, perhaps it's a staff person from a place where the person volunteers, perhaps it is another church members.
The person and families often worry about "bothering" people and don't think that people will come to a meeting. The Community Broker manages this by being responsible for sending out the invitations to the MAP or PATH meeting and coordinating RSVP's. Most of the time even if people cannot attend because of a scheduling conflict, they respond positively to being invited. On occasions invitees even have provided written input about the person's gifts and where they could be shared in the community. These comments are often valuable during the MAP or PATH meeting.
Receiving input from the person's community beyond the usual family and special services staff is what often distinguishes Community Brokering from mental health person centered plans or school individual education plans. The persons community can help open doors and create paths to possibilities that have not been noticed before.
Below is a MAP of a persons Community.

On November 12th the government of Canada finally formally endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The government's official statement falls far short of actual endorsement, however, emphasizing that the declaration "does not reflect customary international law nor change Canadian laws" and further emphasizing Canada's objection to most of the major rights spelled out in the declaration.
One year ago, on December 15, 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would "lend its support" to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. "The aspiration it affirms," he said, "including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of Native peoples, are one we must always seek to fulfill."
On September 28, Cultural Survival submitted a petition to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, to appeal the decision of Guatemala's Constitutional Court which violates Indigenous Peoples' rights through the country's telecommunications law that excludes Indigenous Peoples from operating community radio stations.
A new bill proposed by the right-wing political party in Guatemala would criminalize the use of the radio spectrum for any actors not authorized to do so. The bill aims to take community radio stations that are fighting for legal recognition off the air.
On April 23, 2013 in recognition of her work with Adivasi (Indigenous) communities in India, Dayamani Barla was chosen by Cultural Survival, an Indigenous Peoples rights organization, as the winner of the 2013 Ellen L. Lutz Indigenous Rights Award.
In my travels, I am always reminded of the presence of Indigenous Peoples; I know when I am on Indigenous land. I feel and honor the presence of ancestors and pay respect to them along with those I am visiting. Sometimes I can gaze upon sacred landscapes and homelands and understand; other times I gaze upon steel and concrete skyscrapers or other places where Indigenous People live and I feel more conflicted.
In the shadow of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, many people failed to recognize another significant event. Four years ago, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly signed into existence the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
In 1979, Maybury-Lewis and James Howe submitted a report The Indian Peoples of Paraguay: Their Plight and their Prospects to USAID based on an investigation of the condition of the Aché and Guaraní people and the reports of genocide in eastern Paraguay. In 1980, Cultural Survival published the report. According to Maybury-Lewis and Howe, "The greatest proven faults of the Paraguayan government relative to the Aché were sins of omission rather that commission – its failure to protect the Aché from their persecutors, on and off the reservation, its failure to prosecute Pereira and known Ache̕-hunters, and its failure to liberate those Aché being held in servitude…. It can be argued that failure to protect a people against repeated murderous attacks, whether or not they are genocidal in intent, constitutes complicity in de facto genocide (see Smith and Meli̕a's discussion, 1978). Under any name, tolerance of such attacks is inexcusable. The charge that the Paraguayan government has had an official policy of genocide against the Indians seems to us unlikely as well as unproven."
In April 2014, Cultural Survival reported that there was a "mobilization of national military and police forces in the Gambella region of Ethiopia, accompanied by increasing levels of violence there." Recent reports now suggest that ethnic tensions have become particularly acute in the Godere district, home to the Indigenous Majengir community.
The Ecuadorian government is investigating Marlon Santi (president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador, or CONIAE) for alleged sabotage and terrorism in connection with his participation in a protest against government exclusion of Indigenous representatives from a high-level, international meeting about Indigenous issues.
Informal consultations on the Outcome Document for the high level plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly or the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples commenced June 3, 2014 at the UN Headquarters in New York.
On May 8, 2012, at 10:30 AM, Uqul Tinamit community radio station, a Cultural Survival Community Radio Program Partner, that serves the Achi Maya village of San Miguel Chicaj, Baja Verapaz was raided by the Guatemalan police and the Ministerio Publico. Bryan Cristofer Espinoza Ixtapa, the radio station volunteer who was on the air at the time on the raid, was detained by the police. In addition, the radio station's transmitter, computer, and sound mixer were seized.
On October 28 - 30, 2013 in Lima, Peru over 200 Indigenous women from all over the globe will gather in preparation for the UN World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in September 2014. The conference is a strategic opportunity that will enable Indigenous youth and women from the seven regions of the world to be informed, reach consensus and establish a common, political statement as a world-level Indigenous women's movement.
By Madeline McGillSeptember 22, 2014 marked an important day for Indigenous communities everywhere. It was the first of a two-day gathering of the General Assembly at the United Nations in NYC, the first-ever World Conference of Indigenous Peoples.Throughout the day, over 1,000 Indigenous delegates gathered with Government and UN officials, national human rights institutions, and various heads of state to discuss the best methods to approach and solve issues pressing Indigenous Peoples.
Set amidst rolling prairies and the Badlands, Young Lakota shares with viewers the perspectives of three young Lakota as they find themselves in the middle of political controversy in the small town of Kyle on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation. The film centers on Sunny Clifford, who has recently returned to Pine Ridge after two years in college and aspires to improve the reservation she grew up on.
In 1897 Alfred Deakin urged decisiveness in the slow grind toward federation. Indigenous affairs have also become a slow grind. As in Deakin's day, people pass off "tinkering around the edges" as reform. Proposals creep along, yet are promoted as if representing a leap forward. Aboriginal spokesperson Noel Pearson has read the political climate and offered several elements of a plan.
For two years CS Quarterly has identified global themes important for an understanding of the current situation of tribal groups and ethnic minorities and has brought the urgent situations confronting specific groups to the attention of our readers. While our approach has been well received, many points of view are excluded from the thematic section of the Quarterly and many urgent stories go unreported.
So began Calixta Gabriel, a 32-year old Kaqchikel woman from the northwest region of Guatemala. Her three brothers were assassinated in the 1980s, her family lands destroyed, and her parents forced into a military-designed "model village." She herself sought refugee in the United States in the 1980s.
"They took our milk and blood and left us here!" shouted Um Ali at the mention of the peace accord between Palestinians and Israel. She is the mother of six sons, five of whom along with her husband were lined up and shot by rightist Christian militiamen in 1982 at Chatila Camp, a Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Bejrut. They allowed her to keep her youngest son but both were forced to witness the killings.
On January 30, 2014, two days after President Obama's State of the Union address, policy makers, elected officials, tribal leaders, and the press convened in a Washington DC studio for the annual State of Indian Nations address. Because stories from Indian country seldom reach national media, the address is a chance for Native leaders to articulate their vision and concerns for their land and people on a national platform.
The 2014 United Nations Development Programme Human Development Report, Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience, was just released on July 24, 2014. By identifying vulnerable communities and bolstering their ability to react to negative forces through collective action, governments stands to improve many of the human rights violations affecting Indigenous Peoples and marginalized groups around the world.
Nearly 1,000 people came together in Geneva this summer to tackle the challenge of conflict resolution during the 22nd United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations.
Much of the discrimination that Indigenous Peoples face is societal and economic, such as personal racism, discriminatory hiring practices, a misunderstanding of and disrespect for cultural practices, and lack of proper education opportunities, healthcare facilities, or legal oversight due to institutionalized bigotry.
Today marks five years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
The conclusion of the first International Decade of the World's Indigenous People provides a moment to reflect on the history of the indigenous rights movement, which was spear-headed centuries ago by indigenous peoples and their allies in response to the moral exclusion, extinction, or assimilation policies prevalent during five centuries of conquest, colonization, and state sovereignty.
Sixty five years ago, on December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declaring that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." Yet, Indigenous Peoples worldwide still struggle to protect their basic rights and suffer gross human rights abuses.
August 9 was first proclaimed International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples by the United Nations in 1994 to promote and protect the rights of the world's Indigenous population. This day also commemorates the achievements and contributions that Indigenous people make in the world.
Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples rights and supports Indigenous communities' self-determination, cultures and political resilience, since 1972.
Cultural Survival envisions a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-determination and self-governance.

PLATO sets sights on $70,000 new theater
Date: July 17, 2013
Last season, the non-profit theater company PLATO was homeless, and events were temporarily held at the Ramada Inn, Sarasota. But, Kyle Turoff, president and artistic director, was hoping to secure a location for future productions, as well as an education space within Sarasota county — and she's settled on a hopeful location.
Grand Slam Plaza located at the southwest corner of Tuttle Avenue and 12th Street, across the street from the Ed Smith Stadium. Turoff says that before timelines can be set, the non-profit company needs to raise about $70,000. Currently, there is no lease signed.
A musical fundraising event will take place Monday, Aug. 5, at Jager Tavern and Grill, 1100 North Tuttle Ave. inside of the Grand Slam Plaza.
There will be a virtual preview of the new theater and education space along with entertainment emceed by Bob Trisolini featuring Gary Kauffman, Annie Morrison, Kathryn Parks, Roberta MacDonald, Helen Holiday, Ben Turoff and more.
Turoff says some free events for children are in the works for the upcoming season.

Recycled Fish (RF) is providing more than $7,000 for local conservation projects as a result of September 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon Presented by Berkley.
For example, funds will go to help restore urban waterways in the Philadelphia area and in Alaska they will go to stop a dam. In Iowa, they will benefit the state's Resource Enhancement and Protection program.
Money also will go toward restoration of the Mississippi Delta through Vanishing Paradise and for local distribution of RF's Stewardship Kits through the One Million Stewards program.
And go here to see how funds were distributed.
And if you don't know about Recycled Fish, you should. It's not just about catch-and-release. It's about being a good steward in all aspects of your life because we all live downstream.

Mathematical Knowledge in Teaching

moreThe quality of primary and secondary school mathematics teaching is generally agreed to depend crucially on the subject-related knowledge of the teacher. However, there is increasing recognition that effective teaching calls for distinctive forms of subject-related knowledge and thinking. Thus, established ways of conceptualizing, developing and assessing mathematical knowledge for teaching may be less than adequate. These are important issues for policy and practice because of longstanding difficulties in recruiting teachers who are confident and conventionally well-qualified in mathematics, and because of rising concern that teaching of the subject has not adapted sufficiently. The issues to be examined in "Mathematical Knowledge in Teaching" are of considerable significance in addressing global aspirations to raise standards of teaching and learning in mathematics by developing more effective approaches to characterizing, assessing and developing mathematical knowledge for teaching. less

Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods. Here, we introduce a method using rates of change in cline shapes for neutral markers to estimate contemporary dispersal. We apply it to the devastating banana pest Mycosphaerella fijiensis, a wind-dispersed fungus for which a secondary contact zone had previously been detected using landscape genetics tools. By tracking the spatio-temporal frequency change of 15 microsatellite markers, we find that σ, the standard deviation of parent–offspring dispersal distances, is 1.2 km/generation1/2. The analysis is further shown robust to a large range of dispersal kernels. We conclude that combining landscape genetics approaches to detect breaks in allelic frequencies with analyses of changes in neutral genetic clines offers a powerful way to obtain ecologically relevant estimates of dispersal in many species.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/18/14 -- The Canadian Press announced today that Stephen Meurice has been appointed Editor-in Chief of the national news agency, effective immediately.
Mr. Meurice has enjoyed a distinguished career in Canadian news organizations, including serving as Editor-in-Chief of the National Post.
The Canadian Press also announced today the appointment of Andrew Lundy to the role of Vice-President, Digital. This is a new executive management role, responsible for the overall leadership of the news agency's digital strategy and operations, reporting to Malcolm Kirk, President of The Canadian Press.
"We are very pleased that Stephen Meurice has agreed to join our organization and that Andrew Lundy has agreed to assume overall responsibility for our digital operations," Mr. Kirk said.
"Steve's vast experience in leading a large national news-gathering team makes him ideally suited to be the next Editor-in-Chief of The Canadian Press," Mr. Kirk added. "His fresh perspectives, constructive leadership style and commitment to journalistic excellence will further strengthen CP's reputation for providing fair, accurate and timely news and help us thrive in this new age of journalism."
Mr. Meurice was part of the newsroom team that launched the National Post in 1998. In the years that followed, he served in a number of increasingly senior roles, becoming Editor-in-Chief in 2010. During his tenure, the National Post received numerous accolades for its journalism, its engaging approach to news and commentary and its world-class design and presentation. Over the past few years, Mr. Meurice led the transformation of the National Post newsroom into a digitally focused operation that resulted in dramatic growth in the paper's online readership.
Before joining the National Post, Mr. Meurice worked at the Ottawa Citizen and the Sherbrooke Record and was a freelance journalist in the Dominican Republic for two years. He holds a political science degree from Concordia University, where he also studied journalism. He is fluent in English and French.
"It's a great honour for me to join The Canadian Press team," Mr. Meurice said. "CP is a Canadian institution that has produced some of the country's best journalism for nearly a century and I am thrilled to be able to work with its talented, dedicated staff."
Andrew Lundy joined The Canadian Press as Director of Digital in 2013 and recently accepted additional responsibilities as acting Editor-in-Chief.
"Andrew's expertise in digital news has already made an important impact at CP, with the creation of our multimedia desk and the strengthening of our story-telling capabilities using new digital tools," Mr. Kirk said.
Before joining CP, Mr. Lundy was Director, Online at Global News, Editor-in-Chief at MSN Canada, and Content Manager and Senior Producer at CBC. Earlier, he had editing and reporting responsibilities at The Standard in St. Catharines. He holds a degree in political science from Western University in London, Ontario, and was named the first VP Digital of RTDNA Canada, a position he held from 2011 to 2013.

Packing it in at a fish fry landmark
My never-ending quest for the perfect fish fry – which, by my definition, includes potato pancakes – took me to an admittedly obvious spot last week.
The Packing House, 900 E. Layton Ave., is not only not a secret, it's the opposite of a secret. But, I admit, I'd never made it over to the restaurant across from the airport, to give it a try.
Part of what kept me away is the restaurant's reputation for popularity, which I've always assumed means long wait times. The snaking row of cars waiting for service at the Friday night drive-thru did nothing to assuage that trepidation.
But then I learned a few things. First, you can get the dinner fish fry at lunch. Second, reservations are accepted. Third, Friday nights don't really get busy until about 6:30. So, if, like me, you have little kids and fear a wait. Any of these options could prove useful.
I went over for lunch on Friday and had the perch fry, which is $14.95 and worth every penny, though, I admit, like many, I rarely want to spend $14.95 on lunch.
However, my lunch consisted of a big cup of great New England clam chowder and a bread of marble rye, two of the best potato pancakes I've had and three butterflied pieces of perch. Of course, there were the attendant sauces: apple and tartar, and lemon wedges.
The perch comes breaded and while three pieces doesn't sound like much, look at the photo above and you'll see that each piece is really two. The breading is crisp and blessedly free of grease, the fish tasty and flaky.
The potato pancakes are about hockey puck-sized but share no other traits with that hard rubber piece of sports equipment. They're dense without being tough and dry; they're lightly peppered and thoroughly satisfying.
Your humble scribe packs a pretty powerful appetite and this meal would fill me up on any day of the week. Alas, I can only enjoy it on a Friday. But, fortunately, I now know that there are a few ways I can dig in without sitting in the lobby for an hour.
Packing House | Jan. 22, 2013 at 1:35 p.m. (report)
Thanks for the great review. I'd like to add that our regular cod fish fry is also available. It is only $10.95 at lunch and until 6. The drive thru is available from 3-9 and features our hand breaded cod for only $10.95 also. Join us!

A year later I can tell you exactly where I was when I first popped it into the CD player and sat transfixed, unable to move. Lucy Wainwright Roche comes to Milwaukee next week, and we talked to her about it.

Stephanie McMahon
Real Name
Stephanie McMahon
Date of Birth
September 24, 1976
Place of Birth
In order to promote the upcoming movie, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon took a promotion picture with a guy in a Scooby Doo outfit. The WWE vice president of talent and live events is lifting up the person in the suit. The trio is also standing in front of a replica of the Mystery Van, the primary mode of transportation for the characters in the cartoon.
March 23, 2014
It looks the business relationship between Alberto Del Rio and WWE has finally come to a close, as both sides released statements today informing their fans of that. The belief is that a settlement agreement has been made backstage. Del Rio will more than likely never pursue legal action against the company for firing him, while WWE is allowing him to work for any promotion in the world that he wants to.
November 10, 2014
By now, several of you have heard about the new Lucha Underground promotion that was launched in America recently by AAA. Chavo Guerrero reportedly was given a major role backstage, and more details are now surfacing. The former WWE star is actually the one running the show behind the scenes. He is also the liaison for the promotion and the production company that is in charge of things.
November 7, 2014
Earlier this month, the Great Muta promised to attack the Rock when the former WWE star visited Japan to promote his Hercules movie. Obviously, there was no real life friction, and Muta was simply stating that to help with promotion. The Japanese legend did show up at the event, teased tension with the Rock before shaking hands and posing for pictures together.
October 19, 2014
While the backstage heat between the two sides remains at a pretty high level, it does not appear that WWE will be giving a release to Rey Mysterio any time soon. Management has started to accept that the former world heavyweight champion will not be returning to work anytime soon, but they will not let him out of his contract to help another promotion out. WWE would rather just keep him on the sidelines for the time being, especially since Mysterio has reportedly stopped cashing in their checks.
October 15, 2014
While there has not been a ton of details revealed from the deal between New Japan Pro Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling, there are reports that have surfaced that Jeff Jarrett is looking to distribute content from the overseas promotion across the United States. His ability to do that would greatly increase if he were able to secure a national television deal, which he is rumored to have been working on over the past couple of months.
October 14, 2014
Thanks to an unfortunate car accident, Reby Sky was forced to pull out of a scheduled match this upcoming weekend for an independent wrestling promotion out in Maryland. The front passenger side of her Cadillac is pretty damaged. Reby also noted that she suffered some injuries during the incident. Rumors are still floating around that she will be joining her husband, Matt Hardy, in TNA soon.
October 3, 2014
One of the most beloved commentators in professional wrestling might be back with a big promotion in a couple of months. Jim Ross has been openly lobbying to work with New Japan in their efforts to spread into the United States. Ross specifically mentioned the big January 4 pay per view as an opportunity for the two sides to get together. If a deal is agreed upon, he would fly to Tokyo to call the action in English.
October 1, 2014
Looks like Jeff Jarrett has made a major stride in the formation of Global Force Wrestling. It has now been announced that the promotion will be doing a pay per view on January 4, 2015. Since he has a business relationship with New Japan, and they do their biggest pay per view event on that day, there are speculations that Jarrett could be promoting that show as a GFW branded event in the United States.
September 30, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi are going to be promoted to the main roster very soon. The two of them are established international stars, and management is not going to have them languishing in the developmental program. WWE knows that the promotion might upset some of the guys that have been in WWE NXT for a while, but it is a move that they want to do.
September 30, 2014
While it is something that a lot of fans had assumed was going to happen anyways, Rob Van Dam recently revealed that he will return to WWE again some day. He stated that he has earned the right to dictate his own schedule and will go back whenever he is ready. RVD also stated that he will not work for another wrestling promotion until he returns to WWE.
September 28, 2014
As some of you already know, Chavo Guerrero is key backstage figure in that new Lucha Underground promotion that was recently launched. He is already receiving criticism for his work, as many people feel that the company is making a mistake by having high flying and quick paced performers slowing down to a manner similar to what WWE uses.
September 27, 2014
Generally, when you run a nationally known wrestling promotion, you try to lock down your performers to prevent them from being hurt elsewhere. TNA was doing that for a while, but Dixie Carter had to make some changes, in order to keep her company afloat. Performers are now given a bit more freedom to work on the independent wrestling circuit to compensate for the lower paying contracts.
September 26, 2014
Rumors have spread like wildfire about the possibility of Eric Bischoff joining Jeff Jarrett in his new Global Force Wrestling promotion. The speculations were started when a picture surfaced online of the two of them, along with Karen Jarrett, hanging out together. Since Bischoff has some stroke in Hollywood, a partnership between the two sides could greatly benefit GFW.
September 21, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
Showing that there is life after WWE, Alberto Del Rio has announced that he will be doing a small world tour in the upcoming weeks. The former world heavyweight champion, who was recently given his release from WWE after a backstage incident, will be working shows in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico and Japan. The initial belief was that WWE would prevent Del Rio from working for another promotion for the next year.
September 4, 2014
There is a pay per view coming up in October called BattleGrounds MMA. Any wrestling fan watching the event will recognize a familiar voice calling the action. The promotion has signed up legendary WWE commentator Jim Ross for the show. He will be joined by recently retired UFC star Chael Sonnen for the event, which is taking place in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
September 4, 2014
It is no secret that Evan Bourne wants to work for a major wrestling promotion after being given a release from WWE. However, it is not happening in Mexico. The high flyer reportedly turned down a contract offer from AAA. There are rumors that his younger brother was offered a deal as well. The belief is that Bourne feels that the contract is too restrictive and not financially rewarding enough.
September 3, 2014
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
The hot rumors right now is that WWE is going to prevent Alberto Del Rio from working for another wrestling promotion in the United States for the next year. In exchange, the company will continue to pay him, even though he has been given a release. That has led fans to speculate as to how much money he will be given. The belief is that it will not be the full amount of the contract, as he will not be paid for working live events.
August 21, 2014
Everyone in the industry now knows that Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio made appearances for AAA at the TripleMania pay per view. The belief is that WWE will be pursuing legal actions against the promotion, as management has been very quiet backstage about the incident. That has led many to believe that lawyers have advised them not to discuss the situation.
August 19, 2014
Since Nikki Bella and Cameron have confirmed it publicly, the widespread belief among fans is that the cast member of Total Divas are not allowed to hold a championship in WWE. Stephanie McMahon, however, is disputing that rumor. During a recent interview, she flat out denied it when asked about the rumor. McMahon stated that it would be great for one of the cast members to hold the belt because it would drive more attention to the story.
October 21, 2014
While Stephanie McMahon recently took a jab at CM Punk on Monday Night Raw, WWE is doing their best to show restraint. There is a fear backstage that if they are overly criticial of the former world heavyweight champion, then it might motivate him to gain revenge by working for a competing company. With word that TNA is interested in Punk, it would not be a surprise if WWE kept quiet about him for the foreseeable future.
October 9, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon announced that John Cena and Dean Ambrose would be facing one another in a match at Hell in a Cell 2014, and the winner would get to work the main event against Seth Rollins in the gigantic steel structure. Rumors are still floating around that the loser of the match will be given Randy Orton as a consolation prize.
October 7, 2014
As many fans are already aware by now, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury were recently given more of an on screen role as the stooges for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Since they're still in good shape, there are report floating around that WWE will have them working a match on Monday Night Raw soon. Noble and Mercury spend the majority of their time as backstage agents for the company.
October 2, 2014
In a rather bold move, Stephanie McMahon took the opportunity during the opening segment of Monday Night Raw to bash CM Punk, as the show was emanating from Chicago, where the former world heavyweight champion resides. She admonished the fans for chanting for a quitter. Stephanie also appeared to have taken a jab at Punk's personal life by stating that he quit on his real life family.
September 30, 2014
Some major trouble is reportedly brewing behind the scenes in WWE, as a new power struggle has just been revealed. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are trying to take some power away from George Barrios and Michelle Wilson, two high ranking executives within the corporation. HHH and Stephanie are using the early failures of the WWE Network against Barrios and Wilson.
September 25, 2014
It was a pretty big deal when WWE announced that they were inviting Michael Sam to show up on Monday Night Raw because the first openly gay player in the NFL has been generating quite a bit of publicity over the last couple of months. However, with him signing with the Dallas Cowboys, WWE has now decided to remove all mentions of the invitation, including an open letter from Stephanie McMahon, to avoid looking like they were rejected.
September 3, 2014
Before the WWE Network was shoved down the throats of fans on a weekly basis, the company was promoting a social media website called Tout. They constantly mentioned the service, and they had several of their performers utilizing it to interact with the fans. WWE invested approximately $5000 into the company and signed a two year agreement. Stephanie McMahon was even on their board of directors. It looks like the deal is now over, as reports has surfaced that WWE was not interested in renewing the contract.
September 3, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, many witnessed a brilliant publicity stunt that WWE launched when they invited Michael Sam, an openly gay football player who is trying to find an NFL team this season, to make an appearance on their television show next week. Stephanie McMahon has made another move to secure that deal by writing an open letter to the defensive end, calling him a hero.
September 2, 2014
At Summerslam 2014, fans witnessed the beginning of the feud between Nikki Bella and Brie Bella when the former turned on her sister and helped Stephanie McMahon win the match. The belief is that the feud was instigated by the producers of Total Divas. They wanted an intriguing story for the upcoming season of the show.
August 21, 2014
While she is not doing a practice match with Brie Bella before Summerslam 2014, Stephanie McMahon is actually putting in a lot of hours training with Triple H. The couple routinely work out together, so it makes sense for him to put in some ring time with his wife. The match is not expected to last very long, and a surprise ending is still being planned.
August 15, 2014
Some further information is being leaked about the situation that caused Alberto Del Rio to be given a release by WWE. Cody Barbierri, the employee that was allegedly slapped by Del Rio, apparently has a history of saying derogatory things towards the wrestlers. Reports are surfacing that he has gotten away with things in the past because he is backed by Stephanie McMahon. This would explain why a good amount of wrestlers backed Del Rio when he left the company.
August 14, 2014
Since she is being featured in one of the biggest matches at Summerslam 2014 and has not worked as an in ring performer in a very long time, many were expecting Stephanie McMahon to work a practice match before stepping into the ring with Brie Bella. Apparently, that will not be the case. Stephanie is doing private workouts and feels confident that the practice is not needed.
August 10, 2014
After 17 years of portraying the character, Kane might be receiving a new gimmick soon. Rumors have been floating around that he might be bringing the Jacob Goodnight character from the See No Evil movie series to WWE television. The belief is that management wanted to make it easier to promote the film. Some feel that the story line started when Kane handed over his mask to Stephanie McMahon on the last episode of Monday Night Raw.
August 7, 2014
Stephanie McMahon and Triple H have revealed a bit of news about the WWE Network that might help the company secure more subscribers. The real life couple stated that episodes of WCW Nitro are being added to the online service. There is a good amount of people who have been hesitant to sign up for the WWE Network because it lacked the full archive of former television shows.
August 6, 2014
While the upcoming match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella at Summerslam 2014 is being heavily anticipated by fans online, the numbers for that final hour of Monday Night Raw, where the two gals had their confrontation to close out the episode, managed to lose approximately half a million viewers. That has caused some concerns backstage for WWE because the match is viewed as one of the headliners of the pay per view.
August 4, 2014
In order to help promote her upcoming match at Summerslam 2014 against Stephanie McMahon, Brie Bella is on the road this weekend for WWE. The company is sending her and Nikki Bella to the Wizard World event in San Antonio. Brie is still on a reduced schedule, as management wants to give her time to be with Daniel Bryan while he is still recovering from his neck surgery.
August 2, 2014
To further their story line, WWE has revealed that Stephanie McMahon has invited Brie Bella to make an appearance on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. This should move them closer to the long rumored match at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that this also gives the company an opportunity to showcase Daniel Bryan and capitalize on the fame that he recently picked up by detaining a burglar.
July 28, 2014
One of the ideas being floated around backstage in WWE is to turn Nikki Bella into a heel. The story would be that Stephanie McMahon finally gets to her by getting Nikki to believe that Brie Bella has left her hanging. Nikki would grow tired of being abused by the Authority, so she ends up doing a heel turn against her sister. The story would more than likely be featured on Total Divas as well.
July 22, 2014
For those that missed Monday Night Raw, WWE did a story where Stephanie McMahon was arrested during the show because she assaulted Brie Bella, who happened to be sitting in the front row as a fan. The segment generated a huge ovation from the audience, and it was a major topic of discussion online. This is designed to lead to a big match between Stephanie and Brie at Summerslam 2014.

HARTFORD – Urging state legislators to act swiftly, Governor Dannel P. Malloy has proposed a set of gun control laws intended to make the state a safer place.
The governor's proposal comes in the wake of the December 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in which a 20-year-old gunman shot his way into the school with a semiautomatic rifle, after which he shot and killed 20 first-graders and six educators before killing himself as police approached.
To the Editor:
The General Federation of Women's Clubs of Connecticut, Inc. adopted a resolution on January 19, 2013 banning the sale and possession of assault weaponry. The Newtown Woman's Club, GFWC, Inc. adopted a similar resolution on December 20, 2012. These resolutions were sent to our elected officials. The current resolution is as follows:
General Federation Of Women's Clubs Of Connecticut, Inc., 2013 President's Executive Board Meeting.
To the Editor:
Sent to President Obama, Governor Malloy, Senators Blumenthal, Murphy, Feinstein, Reid, Congressman Esty.
Opinions posted in The Newtown Bee lately, by the editor and others, have promoted "common sense" measures to reduce firearms. "Common sense" is used as if readers understand what it means. I don't understand. My common sense leads me to far different conclusions.
To the Editor:
To the Editor:
*In District of Columbia v Heller, 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right, afforded to each individual citizen.
*In US v Miller, 1939, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment specifically extended to firearms in "common use" by the military.
DANBURY — Vice President Joe Biden has urged Congress to swiftly approve a federal task force's recommendations for strengthened gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, which left 20 first-graders and six educators dead in a December 12 shooting incident.
Mr Biden spoke at Western Connecticut State University on February 21 at a conference on gun violence, school safety, and mental health.
A state legislative task force that is reviewing the issues of reducing gun violence, improving school security, and providing better access to mental health care in light of the December 14 shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School, is making progress toward fashioning new state laws intended to reach those goals, according to state legislators who spoke at a February 19 forum.
There was a great thunderclap of consensus in the days following the 12/14 attack on Sandy Hook School that something has to change. The crime, which left 20 first graders and six school personnel dead, was so shocking and so wrong that the calls for action were immediate and widely supported across even the yawning political divide in this country. The inquiries into what and how much change would be possible began quickly, and soon focused on three areas: gun control, school safety, and mental health.
To the Editor:
To the Editor:
The March for Change in Hartford on Valentine's Day was a moving experience with an impressive group of Newtowners in attendance. The rally attracted more than 5,500 concerned Connecticut citizens.
Regardless of one's political views, the grassroots effort out of Newtown was inspiring. So many people came together to make it possible to bus more than 300 mothers, fathers, children, clergy, and dedicated people to this event.
