Maui Wowi / Mr. Greek (PHX)
- azhotdish Oct 5, 2007 08:44 AM
Two "opening soon" signs popped up overnight in Arcadia along Indian School - Mr. Greek in the old home of a fast-food Mexican place, just east of 40th St; Maui Wow is in the old home of Carvel, at 38th St (in the Slice of Sicily and Autumn Court complex). Does anyone know anything about these places?
A new coffee shop just opened by my house in CHandler called Maui Wowi...if this is the same, it's a franchise. Hawaii themed coffee shop. They do sell Kona coffee. I stopped in one morning on my way home from a tennis match....ordered a drip coffee which clearly had been sitting too long.Probably would have been a lot better fresh. They make all the usual coffee drinks as well. They had a few muffins for sale...but didn't try any. Wasn't an overly cozy kind of place so not somewhere I'd choose to sit with a book over a cup of coffee.
Aside: The Carvel in Ocotillo recently closed...did all the Carvels in Phoenix close?? boohoo!
re: ziggylu
Yes, looks like that's the same place, thanks for the link.
re: ValleyFever
Actually I'm not so sure if that's completely true - SoS and Autumn Court have both been there for years.
re: azhotdish
Also true for Thai Lahna. It's been around for over a decade.
re: azhotdish
Autumn Court has only been there a couple years. It was on Central before it moved to that location.
Before Autumn Court it was some grill, and before that it was Mulberry Street.
Wasn't Carvel a Blimpie?
Slice of Sicily and Thai Lhana have both been there for some time. Maybe its just the buildings that aren't attached to the actual strip that are cursed.
re: ValleyFever
Before Autumn Court, it was Flatiron Grill while arose from the ashes of Roti Joe's. I still remember when it was built as a Country Kitchen.
Carvel was indeed a Blimpie and before that a Dairy Queen.
re: Seth Chadwick
Right you are, of course, about Autumn Court, I remember short-lived Flat-Iron Grill. For some reason, I had it confused with China Village down the road, which I enjoy from time-to-time for American-ized Chinese.
re: ValleyFever
Maui Wowi is indeed a chain, they have locations around the country. Considering that their website is more about the franchise opportunities and the products almost hide, I'm not expecting much. Especially after going through the site and seeing that the main connection with Hawaii is that the Colorado based founders honeymooned there.
Where Mr. Greek is going is a challenging location. I remember when Maxie's World Grill was there they did fantastic. Then they thought the could take the place and turn it full-service up where Chelsea's Kitchen is now, and failed miserably. After them came Coconut Joe's, a Hawaiian BBQ place that added Maxie's burgers to the menu to try and prop up sagging sales... it didn't work. Then there were two different quickie Mex places, the first of which was open for about two weeks, and the second might have been open for about 20 minutes while I wasn't looking. Mr. Greek definitely has a good idea repainting the building so that the roof is bright blue... you can now see the building from 1/4 mile down eastbound Indian School despite being behind another building. Of course, after that hideous, shoddy orange-yellow-green paint scheme that one of the Mex places did previously, I'd be repainting the place too.
I noticed that a few days ago, the "World's Greatest Mexican" sign on the front of the building now says "World's Greatest ________", almost certainly waiting for a new final word. I love that the place has been through at least 5 different owners now and that sign remains.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I've watched Maxie's, Coconut Joe's, Uncle Chen's, a forgotten taco shop and Salsa's come and go from that location in 6 years or so, so good luck to Mr. Greek.
As for Maui Wowi. With Mama Java's and Acacia Cafe across the street, they should provide something different and lure clientel.

I whole heartedly agree. That sign makes the building!
re: ValleyFever
They changed the sign. It now says "Chicago Style Gyros" in bright red block letters. Apparently they aren't the world's greatest.
Today was the 1st day open for Maui Wowi. We hit it unknowing that after Vincent's and stay away - at least for a long while. We weren't paying attention when our drinks were done but the resultant lattes were pretty much the worst we'd ever had. 0 foam. Absolutely 0. Tasted like coffee grounds. When we thought back to it, we think they must have made them with regular drip coffee & milk. There were no sounds of tamping, pulling a shot or frothing any milk. It might almost be worth it to go back to pay attention to the way the drinks were made but I don't think we can bring ourselves to. Didn't drink the drinks. Couldn't. Had to make an emergency trip to Lux and the world seemed right again.
re: ccl1111
There is a Maui Wowi near my home in Glendale too. They have coffee and smoothies, but leave much to be desired. I haven't had the coffee, but tried a smoothie once. Just some crap made from concentrate.
I swung by Maui Wowi this afternoon on the way home from work for some afternoon coffee since I rarely see cars parked outside in the morning. Being 3:30pm, I expected it to be burnt, which it wasn't since it's not sitting on a hot burner. The molokai blend (regular, $1.80) tasted ok enough, with low acidity and a what I would consider medium body (this is actually their dark roast); it probably had been brewed a couple hours ago though, if I had to guess. The inside looked clean with various tables and couches but no music. I actually stopped in to grab a menu, which can be downloaded on their website (for this location only): http://www.gethidrinks.com/. Since there aren't many places for smoothies in the area, which I sometimes crave, I'll probably be back. The guys behind the counter who were helping me said they hadn't had their grand opening yet, so we'll see how it goes.
winedubar - they sell 100% kona for your father (?) @ $31.99/lb. The beans come from: http://www.mountainthunder.com/
I popped into Mr. Greek for a quick lunch, today.
I ordered a falafel pita combo, which is three relatively large falafels on a pita with lettuce, tomato, and a little dressing. I really couldn't tell if the dressing was tahini or tsatziki, because there wasn't very much. This also comes with a soda and your choice of fries or salad, for about $8.
I thought the falafel was good. Not too crisp, which I like. The salad was very fresh for a pre-assembled sort. They also gave me fries, by mistake, and they were pretty good, too.
This is a counter-service kind of place, and a bit short of staff, so, the tables aren't kept as clean as one might desire. I think the quality of the food is above average, considering.
re: johnseberg
Mr Greek is now Z's Greek (has been for quite a while). I'm pretty sure it is just a name change. I stopped in on Sunday afternoon, not wanting to wait for a table at Pita Jungle. I had a large Greek salad with a couple falafels on the side. Again, the quality of the food here was better than expected.

re: johnseberg
Only been there once, but the gyro was pretty lackluster. I realize it's a factory-processed cone of meat, and there's only so much you can do with that, but fire goes a long way towards making it tasty and the meat I had didn't look or taste like it had been in the same zip code as a spit, and I couldn't see any from the dining room. Chicago Gyros, a few blocks down the street, was a marginal improvement, but I can't speak that positively of either.
re: Dmnkly
I haven't had any good gyros in Phoenix, not that I've tried them very much. I just went to Greek Patio, tonight, and they were way below average, seemed re-heated.

Now that I've been a few times, I think Mr. Greek is a good neighborhood spot. Ordered the falafel again which is only ok, my gf had the feta burger which was very good and I had the lamb souvlaki pita which was quite tasty and nicely grilled (if not as tender as it could have been). They really do use fresh ingredients, which is a big plus for us.
Free wifi as well.
re: azhotdish
We stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed it. The hummus is, to our tastes, excellent. It's about as good as our favorite at Shish Kebab House. Tara had the chicken souvlaki combo and loved it. My gyro combo was very good as well.

He intended to hold the vessel at anchor to prevent the vessel from tow- ing astern. He also made additional attempts to retrieve the stranded passengers by winch, while waiting for assistance. Around 1:51 p.m., after completing basic hydraulic winch system checks, the captain called the owner again to get a time of arrival estimate. The captain emphasized to the owner that the situation was dire. During the telephone conversation, the vessel's towline broke at the bowline knot attached to the bridle and the wind carried the two passen- gers in the parasail away from the vessel, and the parasail passengers descended upon the surface of the ocean. Once the still-infated parasail canopy reached the water, it started dragging the two passengers backward, along the surface of the ocean. Cut the Anchor! The deckhand cut the anchor line, so the captain could chase after the two passengers with the vessel. As the vessel came alongside the two passengers, the captain instructed the deckhand to jump from the bow of the vessel onto the parasail to defate it. The deckhand did as instructed, but missed and went into the water. The parasail continued to drag the two passengers through the waves. The captain left the deckhand in the water to chase after the passengers. During the captain's second rescue attempt, he passed the two passengers, went downwind and positioned the para- sailing vessel perpendicular to and in way of the passen- gers' expected path; however, the two passengers collided with the side of the vessel and the parasail bridle and gear became entangled in the aluminum superstructure. The cap- tain grabbed hold of the passengers, but lost hold moments dug down, and then held. Once the vessel stopped mov- ing backward, the captain put the transmission in neutral and raised the diesel engine's revolutions per minute to increase power to the hydraulic winch. He again attempted to retrieve the two suspended passengers, but despite the increase in the diesel engine's power, the captain still could not retrieve the two female passengers. The winds now ranged from 23 to 34 mph with gusts to 40 mph, and the seas had grown with four- to six-foot swells and with an occasional eight-foot crest. The captain reached out to the owner again. At the time of the phone conversation between the owner and captain, the owner was away from the offce. Upon con- cluding the telephone call with the captain, the owner called his brother and directed him to get the assist boats ready. The owner told his brother to wait for him at the docks. While waiting for assistance, the captain allegedly opened the engine room's hatch door to check for winch malfunc- tioning and leaks in the hydraulic lines, but he detected nothing out of the ordinary. He paid out additional towline to see if the hydraulic fuid was circulating, and the system responded properly. Additionally, after running these basic Picture of the Tied High aground, post incident. An aft deck view of the vessel.

Didn't think of stratification, that sounds like it could explain it. I had ~0.5 gallon water in to start, then added my wort through a funnel and a strainer. Then added rest of the water through the strainer over the hops. My sample thief is short and this is only a 2.5 gallon batch in a 6 gallon bottle. The thief only went in about 3" into the liquid.
This is my second batch using a better bottle as a primary. The last one had a higher than expected og. Could be same issue. Next time I'll mix it up better before gravity reading.
I think this makes more sense than losses due to the whole hops. Loosing 0.75 gallon of a 1.5 gallon boil doesn't seem likely.
Thanks, I feel better now
Can anyone suggest a good substitute for the Thomas Fawcett amber malt? This is gonna be my first all grain recipe. I have available at LHBS: bicuit, caramunich, caravienne, belgian special b, briess domestic special roast 50L, maris otter, victory, vienna, and briess caramel 10-120L. i like my brews to finish a bit dry. plan to use a 2nd generation of wlp001 with this as well
as this is gonna be my first all grain batch, i need some help on the volumes..
yooper can you elaborate on the volumes during the process, or direct to me to a page that helps?...specifically for this recipe, im wondering how much wort to collect for the boil to end up with 5 gallons in the fermentor. should i check gravity before the boil--does that matter much?
i actually dont know, i have never done an all grain. thats why i ask!
I brewed this recipe in early December but just tried a DFH 60 min IPA on tap at a bar last night and I have to say it tastes nearly the same. Mine is a little more hazy but I don't mind. Thanks for the recipe Yooper.

"Art" - Yvan's Monologue
changing majors and schools
Question Posted Wednesday August 26 2009, 3:55 pm
I've been at school for a week now and I'm really feeling like I didn't make the right choice. I moved 5 hours away to go to this school and my parents are paying a ton of money which is making me feel horrible about even considering this but I really don't feel like I'm in the right place and now that I've started classes I don't feel like I'm in the right major either. I'm an architecture major and I just feel like it's way too much responsibility for me to handle. I will still always love architecture but I'm not sure if I want it to be my career. I really think I'm going to change my major and go to a different school but I need some help coming up with something to do with my life.
-I like small kids but don't know if I would want to go into elementary education although from the time that I was 6-12 thats what I wanted to do.
-I love all aspects of art but I don't want to be a starving artist and I don't think I have the skills to compare with other people majoring in art.
-I don't want to do anything in the medical field
-I think being a real estate agent would be fun but the income isn't really dependable because of the fluctuating housing market.
-Before architecture I was going to major in interior design but I think only big cities have a demand for that type of career and I hate cities, correct me if I'm wrong.
I need some help!
I don't want to be undeclared, and pay money at a school while I decide what to do but I'm not sure if my mom would just let me take a semester or a year off while I decide.

As for your problem with right now - take your core classes this year (math, science, english, history) that way you haven't wasted this year.
About a future major..
What not try for art education. It's with young kids if you apply to elementary schools, but you'll get to teach them something you really love - art :]. And you could do it at junior high or high school levels as well.

Flood zone changes pepper the map, but the most significant difference is in the eastern part of the parish, south of Duson. What was once nearly a solid flood zone bordering Vermilion Parish has largely been removed from the flood plain. The entire town of Duson has been removed from the flood zone, which should lower residents' insurance rates. Duson Mayor John Lagneaux wants to make sure the maps are correct. "Don't get me wrong, we're glad, it will save on insurance," he says. "But there are some areas that we know of that need to be in the flood zone; we plan to shoot elevations, get with the people who work with the [Army Corps of Engineers] and make sure. If you live in a low-lying area, it needs to be a flood zone. If we're going to do it, we need to do it right."
Youngsville Mayor Wilson Viator has the draft map pinned to his meeting room wall. Last week, he studied the map and pointed out several changes to his town. "The intersection of Verot School Road and Hwy. 92 is more in the flood zone," he says. "But the map takes the heart of Youngsville out. Toward the east, and toward Le Triomphe, especially along Lasalle Coulee we're seeing increased areas in the flood zone."
Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais is concerned that the new flood zones will stunt the booming growth of his town as development marches down Hwy. 90. Langlinais intends to challenge the map during the window of response time allowed by the Corps, which performed the studies for the FEMA map. He also wants to be proactive and alleviate flooding in newly identified zones before it happens. "What I want to do is go to my council, and if we can change out the pipes under bridges and road crossings where there are bottlenecks and get the water moving faster, then we can fix the flooding and get out of the flood zone," he says. "Anybody that's in an area like that I would advise them to buy flood insurance. But we can minimize the impact in how much insurance they will have to buy. I warned that there would be people in flood zones, but I was a little shocked about all the yellow in south Broussard."
Changes in flood zones will be reflected in homeowners' flood insurance premiums. According to Knox Insurance account manager Brenda Ortego, homeowners who live in non-flood zones are eligible for preferred programs that carry much lower rates. And the flood zones have different rates. "The higher the risk for flooding, the higher the premiums go up," says Ortego.
In conjunction with the maps is a comprehensive drainage study, the result of an intergovernmental request to the Corps in 2005 from Lafayette Consolidated Government, the Bayou Vermilion District and the five municipalities in Lafayette Parish: Broussard, Carencro, Duson, Scott and Youngsville. Lafayette experienced flood events in 1980, '89, '91, '92 and most significantly in January 1993. "We were trying to look at the high water marks and figure out what actually happened," says LCG Public Works chief Tom Carroll. LCG contracted jointly with the Corps and FEMA to develop the study for the Lafayette In a Century Drainage and Stormwater Plan. The Corps was commissioned to provide the field data, which was then incorporated into the flood maps. The draft FEMA maps were unveiled March 23 at a meeting of the Committee of Governmental Officials in Youngsville.
Carroll warns that the current versions of the maps are preliminary drafts for government officials to check before they are released for public comment on May 31. (The comment period is one year, through May 2007.) But Viator says he was informed at the March 23 meeting that the maps are 95 percent complete.
The old 1996 maps were based on USGS maps from the 1940s, with contour lines figured at 5-foot intervals. FEMA's new maps were made by flying over the parish, using Light Detection and Ranging Scanning. The rapidly emerging technology is highly accurate for determining the shape of the ground surface plus natural and man-made features. "We're really excited about their accuracy," Carroll says. Lafayette is only the second parish surveyed by LIDAR (Orleans was the first), and the technology will provide a benchmark for maps in the future.
Software for determining potential changes made to watersheds is part of the drainage and storm water package that will accompany the map. "We will have the information for modeling hydrologics," Carroll says. "We can see the overall impacts of any development. Right now we don't have good models of our channels. It will provide tremendous information for the local engineers. It takes out the guesswork. No more confrontations with developers." LCG Planning Director Mike Hollier says the parish will also use the plan to simulate recent flooding in Broussard and Carencro. "We're going to simulate those rainfall events in different parts of the parish and see what might happen on top of downtown Lafayette, or Scott. That's the great part of the drainage plan. If you make improvements you might be able to take areas out of the flood zone."
The biggest change under Carroll's jurisdiction comes in the Coulee Ile des Cannes area, where flood zones increased. "We're going to have to look at that one closely," he says. "The improvements made from the Vermilion River to Ridge Road have made a tremendous difference in flooding in that area. We'll address that during the comment period."
Youngsville Mayor Wilson Viator says the maps will increase government efficiency and guide future development. "It will save Youngsville money because my town engineer won't have to go shoot as many elevations," he says. "It will make it much simpler to tell developers what they have to do." Like Broussard, the town of Youngsville has also witnessed extraordinary expansion recently, and with it growing pains from increased traffic as well as a need for complex drainage studies as low-lying farmland is transformed into subdivisions.
Viator adds that whether homeowners are located in or out of the flood zone, he still suggests residents of Youngsville buy some flood insurance. With the damage hurricanes Katrina and Rita have done to the wetlands and the subsidence of Louisiana's coastal plains, there's a greater potential for flooding. "If we get a storm surge, we have a good chance of getting water in Youngsville," he says. "I just bought flood insurance. I'm not in the flood zone, but I'm not taking a chance. If you have flood insurance, you can sleep good at night."

Nandan Nilekani to resign from UIDAI by March-end to contest polls from Bangalore
February 22, 2014
ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani is set to give up his cabinet rank by demitting the office of the chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) next month, in order to prepare for his maiden Lok Sabha foray from Bangalore. "I will be there for a few more weeks. I will be stepping down by end of March," Nilekani told media in the capital, adding that he will contest the polls 'subject to getting the ticket from Bangalore South.' Nilekani, who has got a green signal for a Lok Sabha seat from the Congress top brass most likely for the Bangalore South constituency, has already begun doing the preparatory work for the poll campaign spending five days a week in Karnataka.
Consumers can get LPG cylinders without Aadhaar account: Government
February 21, 2014
NEW DELHI: Subsidised LPG cylinders can be purchased without having an Aadhaar account, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Friday. A clarification on delinking Aadhaar account from disbursal of subsidised LPG cylinders would be issued within a week, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Veerappa Moily said during Question Hour. "A clarification will be issued within a week," he said. As far as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) is concerned, Cabinet has decided to delink Aadhar account from disbursal of subsidised LPG cylinders.
Why suspending DBT scheme would be a retrograde step
February 19, 2014
By AP Hota Reportedly, the government of India is planning to suspend the Scheme of Direct Cash Transfer of LPG Subsidy through Aadhaar. This has raised a counter question: why such a great idea implemented with rigour and discipline unparalleled in recent years is being suspended all of a sudden. The scheme referred to as Direct Benefit Transfer of LPG Subsidy (DBTL) is innovative in many ways. The scheme provided the hope that the Aadhaar number would be leveraged for cash transfer of subsidy only to the intended beneficiaries and would plug leakages.
Vote on account 2014: UPA-II failed to build on the work done by UPA-I
February 18, 2014
M Rajshekhar , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: In his speech today, Finance Minister P Chidambaram suggested UPA-II has done a good job on social welfare. As statements go, that assertion is not correct. UPA-II has passed fewer laws. Implementation of the principal Acts passed by UPA-I has weakened during UPA-II. Its gamechanger, direct benefits transfer, is yet to take off. Between them, as UPA-II prepares for elections, it has little to show on the social welfare front. What Went Wrong? According to NAC member NC Saxena, "In UPA-I, there was a broad consensus about each of the new Bills.
Interim Budget 2014: Government committed to Aadhaar, UPA's direct benefit transfer freeze only temporary, says FM P Chidambaram
February 18, 2014
ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Finance Minister P Chidambaram reiterated that the payment of LPG subsidies through the UPA's direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme has been put on hold for the time being while adding that the government remains fully committed to Aadhaar and will continue to use it to promote financial inclusion. The government has suspended the cash transfer of cooking gas subsidy directly to the account of beneficiaries. DBT, envisaged as a game changer, is aimed at plugging leakages and eliminating corruption, while making sure subsidies reach the right people.
Move to end DBT gas scheme sends public sector banks into a tizzy
February 5, 2014
Dheeraj Tiwari & Rajeev Jayaswal , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: State-run banks are worried that their commission for facilitating direct cash transfer of cooking gas subsidy will get blocked after the government delinked the scheme from Aadhaar cards. The direct benefit of transfer to LPG consumer (DBTL) scheme, under which participating banks receive 1% of the total transaction as commission, was suspended last week following criticism that it is inconveniencing consumers. Officials, who did not wish to be named, said banks are yet to receive about Rs 40 crore as commission for the 60 million transactions done under DBTL so far. Since its launch in June last year, DBTL has covered more than 60% of the 150 million LPG consumers in the country.
Ahead of cabinet meet, parliamentary panel had scrapped Aadhaar-based DBT regime for LPG
February 3, 2014
Vikas Dhoot , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Two days before the Cabinet put the Aadhaar-based direct benefits transfer regime for LPG cylinders on hold, a parliamentary panel led by a Congress MP had put the government in the dock for the inconveniences the scheme was causing to the poor. The Estimates Committee chaired by South Goa MP Francisco Sardinha had almost unanimously called for scrapping the direct benefits transfer scheme for LPG cylinders at its meeting on January 27. This was the second time in a week that the committee was reviewing the scheme with petroleum and natural gas ministry officials.
Government's move to shelve Aadhaar-based direct benefit transfer blow for UIDAI
January 31, 2014
Yogima Seth Sharma & M Rajshekhar , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: The government's decision to put the Aadhaar-based direct benefit transfer (DBT) for cooking gas on hold could be a blow to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), set up as one of the United Progressive Alliance's flagship initiatives and aimed at ensuring that subsidies reached the right beneficiaries without fraudsters and middlemen ripping them off. Ahead of elections, the government is at pains not to risk alienating any constituency, having already sustained heavy defeats in recent state elections, some of these in areas where the programme has been rolled out. Oil minister Veerappa Moily attributed the decision on Thursday to complaints about implementation of the scheme.
Tardy execution of cash transfer, lowers its potential of delivering votes for Congress
January 28, 2014
ET Bureau
By Akshay Deshmane "We have also created the right to identity so that your money reaches you directly. It is the largest anti-corruption platform that anyone has ever built. It will enable people to get their benefits and entitlements without paying a bribe. " — Rahul Gandhi , addressing the Congress Party, on January 17. In time, the Congress' leader-in-waiting might be proven right. But for now, his government's big push on moving welfare entitlements directly into the bank accounts of beneficiaries, a weapon it unveiled in a small tehsil in Rajasthan in October 2012 to make an electoral offensive, is beginning to resemble a double-edged sword.
Odisha asks Petroleum Ministry to extend DBT deadline
January 19, 2014
BHUBANESWAR: With a large number of people yet to get Aadhar card, Odisha government today urged the Ministry of Petroleum to extend the deadline for implementation of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme for transfer of subsidy on LPG to the bank account of the consumers. In a letter to Union Petroleum Secretary, state Chief Secretary JK Mohapatra requested the extension of deadline from January 31 to April 30 for seven districts in the first phase. "The Chief Secretary has also requested the ministry to extend the deadline for three districts up to June 30 in the second phase," Food and Supplies Secretary M S Padhee said.

Legal Separation
U.S. Divorce Law Center
Legal Separation Laws in the U.S. Copyright HG.org
Legal Separation
A legal separation and a physical separation are not the same thing. In a physical separation, although the couple lives separately, there is no formal legal agreement.
A legal separation allows a husband and wife to live separately and formalize the arrangement by a court order or a written agreement. The arrangement addresses spousal support, and child custody, visitation and support, when relevant.
It is not equivalent to a divorce or dissolution and recognizes the possibility that the couple may reunite. It does not terminate a marriage, and so, does not allow the parties to remarry.
It is not necessary to be legally separated before obtaining a divorce. Although, most states have provisions for legally separated couples to commute their separation agreement to a divorce action, should they decide to do so.
Not all states recognize legal separations.

Typically, there are two contracts used when dealing with marriages and they are prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

Video on molestation, shown to Manchester 3rd graders, upsets parents
The parents, who spoke out at a Board of School Committee meeting on Monday, say their third-grade children were deeply upset by the video, which depicted an inappropriate interaction between a boy and his uncle.
Victoria Sullivan, mother of a student at Highland Goffe's Falls Elementary School and the head of its parents' and teachers' group, said she knew something was wrong when she heard about the video and asked her son if he had seen it.
Another, Jennifer Brown, said parents should have been informed that such a video was going to be shown. "I can decide whether or not this material is appropriate for my child based on their maturity," she said at the meeting. "Every parent should be allowed to make these choices for their child. That is responsible parenting."
Sullivan, however, said in an interview that the video actually showed the boy confronting his uncle about committing the act in the past. She viewed the video after approaching the principal of Highland Goffe's Falls.
The district adopted a policy in 2012 allowing parents to substitute materials of their choosing for ones they deem objectionable. The change was made in response to a law enacted by the Legislature in 2011. The policy, however, assumes that parents are aware of or have already been notified of the materials.
Superintendent Debra Livingston said this was part of the review she and her staff were undertaking. But she said her understanding was the district's policy was to inform parents.
The superintendent said the video was part of the Michigan Model for Health curriculum and has been shown "for a while now."
"I've not seen it," he said of the video. "But I hear what the parents are saying, and I certainly can appreciate if they don't want their children to see it. And there should at least be proper notification sent home."
