Common Council approves budget measure to boost Housing Trust Fund
Housing Trust Fund increase of $200,000 will boost supportive housing efforts
The Milwaukee Common Council approved a 2017 city budget amendment last week to increase funding for the Housing Trust Fund from $450,000 to $650,000 next year, strengthening the city's push to leverage the development of housing units to address Milwaukee's most vital housing needs, Alderman Michael J. Murphy said today.
The Council's budget action to boost the HTF will be highlighted by Alderman Murphy and Mayor Tom Barrett during a news conference at 10 a.m. TOMORROW (Friday, November 11), in the first floor rotunda at City Hall, 200 E. Wells St.
During its budget adoption meeting on November 4, the Council approved Alderman Murphy's amendment to provide the additional $200,000 for the Housing Trust Fund during 2017. The funding will be used to create housing units that are recommended for approval by the Milwaukee Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Advisory Board.
Since 2008 the HTF has awarded grants totaling just under $6 million leveraging projects valued at $103 million. During that time period, the HTF has helped to create or rehab more than 760 housing units, at an average cost of $7,800 per unit.
Prior to final Common Council approval, all of the projects are reviewed and recommended for approval by the Common Council's Zoning, Neighborhoods & Development Committee.
The Housing Trust Fund provides grants and loans for the construction, rehabilitation and accessibility modification of affordable housing for low- to moderate-income households. Supportive and accessible housing for the city's most at risk citizens remains a primary objective for the Housing Trust Fund. Of the 763 units created or maintained, 345 units are supportive units housing our veterans, homeless, and persons with mental illness; 473 of the 763 units are accessible for persons with mobility impairments.
Alderman Murphy said the city has done a tremendous job of investing in projects that leverage other sources of funds, such as Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), private equity, bank financing, and other local, state, and federal sources. To date, $103 million has been leveraged for a ratio of $17 to every $1 of Housing Trust Fund dollars.
Milwaukee's ongoing poverty issues and its all-too-abundant supply of foreclosed properties make each of the HTF projects critical for city residents in need, Alderman Murphy said. "For years I have championed the role of the Common Council and the city in creating economic development opportunities and also in addressing the foreclosure crisis," Alderman Murphy said.
"Economic disenfranchisement, community mental health issues, homelessness and the foreclosure crisis are all tied together here in Milwaukee, and they also drive the need for more supportive and affordable housing, and that is what the Housing Trust Fund addresses each year in selecting a small but critical group of projects," Mayor Barrett said.
Tom Heinen, executive director of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, noted the Housing Trust Fund's roots are found in the work of a combined community coalition that saw the clear housing needs in Milwaukee.
"The successes of the Milwaukee Housing Trust Fund and the city's expanded support of it are deeply gratifying for present and past leaders of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee," Mr. Heinen said. "Our many faiths and denominations share a common concern for the dignity of all persons and the need for safe, decent, affordable housing. When we were founded in 1970, one of our first priorities was the creation of a housing task force."
Mr. Heinen continued: "When housing and homelessness arose as heightened issues in 2004, we helped create a broad coalition of community organizations that pushed for the creation of a housing trust fund. We hosted the meetings, served as the fiscal agent, hired a part-time staff person to assist, and were represented by our then executive director. This was truly a community-wide effort. Several people and dozens of organizations played important roles, including private leaders and public officials such as Alderman Michael Murphy. We were pleased to be one of the catalysts for change, and we continue to have an Interfaith representative serve on the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board."

My Peculiar Expectations
If you are reading this, I know you are constantly striving to do your best as a parent (or grandparent, interested aunt, uncle or friend). I know I am!
The trouble is that a lot of how we parent is not consciously taught. We haven't decided to parent in a certain way because of a particular book or article. We may have got some tips from reading things over the years, but we mostly parent our kids with deeply held beliefs and ingrained behaviors from our own upbringing.
Usually our little families fare okay from this combination of trying to do the right thing and intuitive parenting. Sometimes, however, it is worth shining a spotlight on our parenting practices and asking ourselves if they are the best we can do.
After a few days away, just the kids and I, I had some space to observe some of my parenting expectations. I have decided that I need to question some of the more peculiar expectations on my kids.
Examples of Peculiar Expectations
One of the things I expect my kids to do is share or take turns with toys. Of course, learning to share and being able to be patient are good things to learn. However, I wouldn't like it if I was told to share MY toys. I don't want anyone else to use my iPhone, laptop, even my new drink bottle! Especially if a birthday boy or girl is given a new gift, I completely understand him or her not wanting to let others have a turn. It is a brand new toy! Other kids could damage it or run off with it. From now on, however controversial this may seem, I won't be so quick to admonish my kids for not sharing or taking turns.
Another thing I have been guilty of in the past is simply expecting my kids to want to go up to and possibly even pat dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets. In a similar vein I just assumed most kids would want to be curious about and even pick up spiders, insects and various creepy crawlies. Not all kids have any desire to be that up close with nature, something I completely understand, as I certainly don't want to touch spiders or bugs. I am not sure why I would expect my kids to get up close and personal with any creature if I wouldn't do it too.
I also expect my kids to be okay with occasional periods of boredom. I really want them to be able to find ways to cope with boredom, learn patience and find ways to entertain themselves with their own imagination. This is very important to me… and yet… and yet… at every opportunity that I could be bored – waiting in line etc. – I pull out my phone. Every time! I don't let myself be bored so how can my kids learn to do it? On our car trip recently, the kids had no screens, we didn't listen to audio stories and they had only a couple of toys to play with. Yet they coped very well. They looked out the window, noticed things, happily joined in with some games of 'I Spy' and were generally very well behaved. I often felt bored and wanted to reach for my phone – and as I was driving that was out of the question.
Types of Peculiar Expectations
So the expectations we can have on our kids can be peculiar because we would never do the behavior ourselves (share new gifts) or we don't take consideration of what a particular child actually likes to do (picking up insects) or because we don't hold ourselves up to the same standard (being okay with being bored). There are probably other types of peculiar expectations I – and other parents – have on our kids as well.
So what to do with all these peculiar expectations? I guess it is a step in the right direction that I have some awareness around this now. Next step – as guru, Tony Robbins, advocates is to "trade your expectations for appreciation". Every time I come up against a peculiar expectation I will try to alter it so I express some gratitude instead. At the very least, focusing on being grateful will help me stop feeling so bored!

Toronto Nursing Home Injury Lawyers
Seek Justice for Your Loved Ones
There are numerous different personal and financial reasons for putting a parent or loved one in a nursing home. When you put someone you care about in the care of another, it can be heartbreaking to discover that they were not getting the care promised or were abused in some way. Unfortunately, nursing home injuries are much more common than people may expect. Understanding and being able to identify the signs of nursing home abuse or neglect can help you protect your loved ones. Our Toronto nursing home injury lawyers at JEWELL RADIMISIS JORGE LL.P. explain what you need to know and how you can ensure your elders are protected.
Schedule a free and confidential case consultation today by calling us at (647) 360-6685.
Types of Nursing Home Abuse
Because many individuals in nursing homes are older or face other psychological difficulties, such as dementia, it may be hard to identify nursing home abuse or negligence when it is occurring or has occurred.
There are five main types of nursing home abuse that lead to physical and emotional injury:
- Physical Abuse - is the event or action that leads to the physical harm of the elderly individual. This could include hitting, pinching, biting, pushing, or even the overuse of physical restraints.
- Sexual Abuse - is the sexual exploitation of an elder through non-consensual contact or participation. Often, elders are tricked, forced, or manipulated into this sexual contact or activity.
- Emotional Abuse - occurs when a care giver or another individual causes emotional distress to the elder. This is done through humiliating, terrorizing, blaming, or ignoring the elder.
- Financial Abuse - is done through stealing money or personal property of the elder. It also includes the act of tricking an elder into disclosing important financial information, such as bank account numbers.
- Neglect - this occurs when an elder is not given proper medical, physical, or emotional treatment. Not providing an elder the attention and care he or she needs can be extremely dangerous and can even escalate into physical or emotional abuse.
If an elder has been injured—emotionally or physically—by any of these forms of abuse, the elder and his or her family could be entitled to compensation. The facility in which the elder was staying could be held liable for the pain and suffering caused. Contact our nursing home injury lawyers in Toronto for more information about abuse or liability.
Reporting Abuse and Negligence
It is important to recognize the signs of abuse when they are there. Unfortunately, signs are not always as obvious as a broken arm, but identifying negligent nursing homes can not only help you seek justice for your loved one, it can also save them from further injury.
Signs of negligence or abuse in nursing homes include:
- Dehydration or malnutrition
- Pore hygiene or lack of sanitary care
- Bed sores
- Slip and falls
- Broken bones
- Unexplained injuries and wounds
- Improper surveillance and supervision
- Prescription or medication errors
- Withdrawal of the elder from other people
If you believe your loved one has suffered from nursing home injuries, our firm can help. Our dedicated and compassionate Toronto nursing home abuse lawyers can help you report the wrong doings and recover compensation for your losses. We understand that it might be difficult or emotionally trying to take action in these kinds of situations, which is why our firm is committed to assisting you through each step of the process until your case is closed. Facing nursing home injuries is difficult, but you don't have to do it alone!
Contact our office today and speak with our personal injury team. We can provide the legal counsel you need during this difficult time.

We've been hearing about it for a little over a year now. We're just over 2 months away from America having another pro football league in the Spring. I know what you're thinking, "Oh great, another spring league that's bound to fail." Many different organizations have tried, but there is a big difference with the A7FL. Unlike Vince McMahon's XFL, Donald Trump's USFL and the developmental UFL, NFL Europe and new NFL farm system FXFL, the A7FL has 10 years of this style of football under the belt that is tried and true. It's unconventional, it's unheard of. Some people say it's down right crazy. "High level football with no pads or helmet? Are you kidding me?!?! You guys are nuts!!" No, we just call it the American 7's Football League.
Hello, my name is Francis Plaise, head blogger for the A7FL. I'm not just any random blogger from the street that has never played the game of football before. I actually founded and captain'd the Rockland Rocboyz, the first New York team to play in the A7FL's origins and farm system league, TownBeef Football League. TownBeef was a concept thought up by A7FL co-founder Ryan DePaul as a competitive outlet for players to showcase their skill with their hometown. The idea was to literally come with your town to play another town in a game of 7-on-7 football. When I started playing in this league in 2008, I thought it was the greatest thing since slice bread, and Ryan and co-founder Sener Korkusuz have stepped it up another notch with the professional version of an already awesome concept now called American 7s Football.
Okay, enough of all the background talk, let's talk about the now! 8 teams are going to kick off the inaugural season of the A7FL. The Brooklyn Brawlers, New Jersey Bullies, Pennsylvania Outlawz, New York Empire, Virginia Revolution, Pennsylvania Immortals, Baltimore Cobras and South Jersey Mustangs are all trying to not only make an impression come March 21st, but they're also trying to claim the right to be called A7FL Champions by the end of the season. Let's break down some key moves a couple of the teams have made so far:
The biggest acquisition in my eyes is that of the New Jersey Bullies, who late in 2014 announced that their head coach will be Mujahaad "Moo Spitt" Myles, a veteran and 4x Beef Bowl Champion who was at the helm of all of those great South Ward Gators teams in the TBFL. They went young, picking up rookie Justin "Baby Gronk" Glennon at TE, but so far their biggest acquisition is the pick up of WR Keith Morrison. Morrison is a wide-out who has played on some low level teams in the league. The kid has skills and raw talent, but he hasn't been able to showcase it yet with a lack of a good QB for him to throw the ball to. With Myles at HC, a good QB signing will be ideal for Morrison if he wants to make noise in the A7.
- The Mustangs of South Jersey have been making a lot of moves, picking up some key players that instantly scream championship this early in the year. The biggest signing of the year for any team is the signing of potential League MVP, QB/ATH Shaune Thomas. You can put Thomas anywhere on the field and he will make an impact. I've seen him go from QB to WR to DE to S to LB to RB in the same game and be effective in every spot. Picking up Thomas was huge for the Mustangs and the pick up of Michael Knight is a great compliment. He is an effective RB/DB and will make noise from the first snap to the final whistle.
- The Baltimore Cobras seem to have a "defense first" mentality, picking up two defenders from their developmental league champions. Derrell "Bone" Harris and Jawaun Lipscomb are two big additions for the Cobras, who will try to live up to their NFL counterpart Ravens and bring a dominant defense to the A7FL table.
- Another team that went defense first was the New York Empire, picking up a monster at the Defensive End spot by the name of Andrew Levine. Levine, who recently played in Beef Bowl IX, is a freak at DE and will be a menace for offensive lineman for 60 minutes.
If you have never seen the A7FL, my suggestion is to watch some of the games at www.youtube.com/thea7fl. You will get an idea of the fast paced, hard hitting action you will see come March 21st and all season long as the inaugural season kicks off! The Brooklyn Brawlers travel to PA to take on the Outlaws, the Virginia Revolution head to Baltimore to play against the Cobras, the Immortals of Pennsylvania go toe to toe with Myles' Bullies, and the NY Empire head down to South Jersey to go up against Thomas, Knight and the Mustangs. Good luck to all the teams in the A7FL and let's get ready to watch "REAL AMERICAN FOOTBALL"!!!

Dyeing fabric may be a hobby or a method of enhancing a garment or decorative accent. When dyeing fabric, it is beneficial to understand what the fabric is made from and what type of fabric will best absorb the dye. Different fabrics react to dyes and dying processes in different ways, so possessing knowledge on fabrics and fibres is necessary for a successful result.
Cotton is a versatile fabric used around the world due to its softness, comfort and wash-and-wear properties. The cotton fibre, which retains 24 to 27 times its weight in water, breathes by absorbing and releasing moisture quickly. This absorbent quality makes cotton an easy fabric to dye. Ideal dyes to use on cotton are cold water fibre reactive dyes, all-purpose dyes and direct dyes.
Wool, an animal fibre made from sheep's hair, will absorb up to 30 per cent of its weight in water and is the most absorbent of all fabrics. Much like cotton, wool also possesses a breathable quality, and it is ideal for keeping the body warm in cold weather. Wool is one of the best fabrics to dye as the colour will penetrate the core of the fabric and permanently bond with the fibres. Wool is versatile and takes many different colours and dyes.
Linen, a smooth, durable and luxurious fabric, is composed of the strongest vegetable fibres and is two to three times stronger than cotton. The natural lustre of this fabric comes from the wax content of the flax plant fibres used to create linen. Not only a good conductor of heat, linen is an absorbent fabric that will easily take dyes. Linen is also ideal for dyeing because the colours tend to stay vibrant after washed.
Silk, a sensuous, elegant and luxurious fabric, is often associated with success and wealth. This naturally shimmering fabric is attractive, versatile, and in ancient times, sold for its weight in gold. Silk fibres come from insects, such as caterpillars, and are one of the strongest natural fibres with a high absorbency for moisture. This absorbent quality makes silk one of the best fabrics for dyeing, especially in deep colours.

"Lithium ion battery market for lithium nickel manganese cobalt battery type expected to grow at the highest rate between 2016 and 2022"
Lithium nickel manganese cobalt (Li-NMC) type batteries are used in application areas like e-bikes, power tools, medical equipment, and other electric powertrains. Use of cobalt in 1:1:1 ratio with a combination of nickel and manganese gives the optimum result while keeping the cost low, in spite of cobalt being expensive, owing to a low proportion of cobalt in the combination. The energy density of Li-NMC batteries is its primary strength.
"The market for 3000mAh to 10000mAh power capacity batteries expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period"
The heavy power capacity of the batteries, ranging from 3000mAh to 10000mAh, makes them suitable for the use in EVs and industrial applications. The increasing market of consumer electronics and smartphones has increased the need of batteries with higher power capacity which can keep the device running for longer hours and at the same time giving an optimum experience of the device due to large screen and power backup service. All these factors would lead to the higher adoption of lithium ion battery systems having 3000mAh to 10000mAh power capacity.
"Consumer electronics industry expected to hold the largest share of the lithium ion battery market"
The consumer electronics industry is expected to hold the largest share of the overall lithium ion battery market. Lithium ion batteries are a preferred choice for consumer electronics products as a portable power source because of the features such as high energy density and less recharge time. These are low on maintenance and light in weight compared to other rechargeable batteries; therefore, these are widely adopted in consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.
"Europe expected to hold the second-largest share of the lithium ion battery market during the forecast period"
The automobile industry in Europe is strategic industry with the leanest production processes and optimized use of energy for manufacturing. Increasing market share of EV in Europe is prominently supporting the adoption of lithium ion batteries. Increasing funding from the government is supporting the adoption of lithium ion batteries in electric cars. GREENLION is a project funded by EU for manufacturing cheaper and dependable lithium ion batteries for electric cars. These are some of the factors contributing to the growth of the lithium ion battery market in Europe.
The major players involved in the lithium ion battery market are LG Chem Ltd. (South Korea), Panasonic Corporation (Japan), Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. (South Korea), BYD Co. Ltd. (China), BAK Group (China), A123 Systems, LLC. (U.S.), GS Yuasa Corporation (Japan), Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan), Johnson Controls Inc. (U.S.), Saft Groupe S.A. (France), Toshiba Corporation (Japan), and Valence Technology Inc. (U.S.).

Jeff Jackson has not received any gifts yet
Hi Jeff, I'm new to the tennisopolis community and am looking to hit a few with some fellow 4.5s-5.0s. I'm a former college singles player. Are you in the Cincy area and are you available to play? Let me know. Thanks, Justin Russell, email@example.com
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the invite. Would love to play sometime. I can't wait for nicer weather to return. Do you get out to the east side of Cincinnati much?

I'm writing a telnet server for realtime online multiplayer ANSI gaming and game-creation. Realtime collaboration is so much easier when everything happens on the server, and it's so much easier for everything to happen on the server when it only has to worry about spitting out 80x25 character images. I'm almost done with the plumbing (parsing ANSI escape codes from a telnet stream, an internal representation of an ANSI screen, diffing two ANSI screens to minimize the amount of shit sent over the wire), and it should be pretty straightforward to port my Stackless Python game engine to use this new framework. Might this mean a textmode port of Hax0r?
Anyone want to contribute some sweet ANSI?
Ideas for scripting are welcome. I don't really think ZZT-OOP is the way to go (Goto-based programming! Brillant!); a more Klik & Play-style if-this-happens-then-do-this approach is probably better. I can expand on this if anyone is interested.

Holidays to Nepal has organized my tour properly and was personally taking care of everything especially when we were in need of any type of help. Hotels booked were very good especially Hotel Arts in Katmandu. Driver and the vehicles provided were very good. I am satisfied with my overall travel experience with Holidays to Nepal.
One of the most exciting travel- trip to Nepal and India. Thanks to Mr. Santosh who has planned and organized the perfect tour schedule:)) Amazing half an hour hanging on a parachute, seeing the most majestic mountain ranges from Pokhara, wish to visit again.
Excellent hospitality extended by Holidays to Nepal Team during our Kathmandu Visit in Feb 2017. Hotel booked y them for us were top in class and driver of Cab was well behaved and disciplined. We wish this company all success

Damien McGrane, Managing Director of Takker, demonstrates his product to David McCurley, Senior Investment Manager at WhiteRock Capital Partners.
Formed in 2009, Takker Ltd is the manufacturer of the 'Takker', a DIY device for hanging pictures, mirrors and many other household objects in seconds, designed by Managing Director Damien McGrane.
The product range is manufactured and distributed from Belfast, supported by a range of local firms. Takker's key service partner is Denroy Plastics Ltd, Bangor which produces and assembles the component parts.
The firm, which shot to fame in the 2009 series of the hit show 'Dragon's Den' said the investment - the size of which was not disclosed - will allow it to promote its product line into new markets, develop its e-commerce offering and further develop its product portfolio.
Damien McGrane said: "We were an investment winner on the Irish Dragon's Den, and as a direct result, we secured a contract to sell in forty Woodies DIY stores across Ireland.
"The Takker is an ingenious DIY device and with the demand we have seen in the market, we want to continue creating original and creative products, which is why we approached WhiteRock Capital Partners to allow for support to finance this further development."
The company is among the first of 20 companies to have already secured approval for investment from the new Fund, which launched in June 2012 and commenced its investment period from September 2012.
Finance for the £50M Growth Loan Fund – which provides mezzanine finance to established Northern Ireland SMEs seeking to access growth finance – has been provided by Invest Northern Ireland and private investor, Northern Ireland Local Government Officers' Superannuation Committee (NILGOSC).
A Belfast-based team of specialist advisors, WhiteRock Capital Partners LLP, has been established to respond to enquiries to the Fund by the consortium of three partners – Braveheart Ventures Limited; NEL Fund Managers and Clarendon Fund Managers, all of which are authorised and regulated by the FSA.
Paul Millar, Chief Investment Officer of WhiteRock Capital Partners said: "Takker Ltd displays strong creativity and is underpinned by a very solid ethos for innovation – essential for any business seeking to grow in today's challenging economic climate. With the growth capital we have provided, we are glad to have supported this inventive firm's progress. WhiteRock Capital Partners welcomes applications from similar ambitious SMEs in Northern Ireland who are seeking to grow."

June 29th began with Captain Rich on the Trinity heading towards Sumez Island with the idea of heading out to Baker Island off Cape Bartolome. Forcast was for 11 foot seas of the outside so going out wasn't something he was looking forward to doing despite the fact that the kings are out there. So they stopped short of the cape and doubled on kings one of which was 30.2 pounds, a respectable fish and the other at 20 pounds or so which is a great fish as well. Continuing fishing in the same spot for a hour or so no more bites so they bit the bullet and headed out to the outside. They doubled on kings right off, then got their halibut and by then 2 of the guys weren't feeling too well so they headed in to finish their black sea bass in protected or semi protected waters. They decided due to the weather to come in a bit early and thus ended their day of fishing.Tagged alaska fishing blog, alaska fishing report, alaska sportfishing report, craig alaska fishing report, prince of wales island fishing report, prince of wales sportfishing report
Leaving the dock at 5:30 am we headed for Cape Bartolome as I had heard from the fishing reports that the kings were in great numbers there. By 6:30 we had our lines in the water with our cut plug herring and started getting hits at 70 feet below the surface. Most of the fish were up high rather than deeper and before long were landing kings with doubles and tripples, but having to release some of the kings that were small or lightly hooked. We kept 5 and then moved on to a spot I had been fishing earlier in the month to check it out and sure enough there were many kings there as well landing half a dozen and seeing many more on the fish finder. We had most our halibut already so we went looking for a few nicer halibut but not finding anything of size headed for the dock closing a easy day of fishing.
Then Trinity guided by Rich Rodgers had limited as well quite early and went on to catch their yellow eye and sea bass.
Today we left at 5:30 heading for Noyes Island and arriving to our spot we immediately landed a nice 30.2 pound king by Anjuli Hamilton (Haydu). From there we also had a few other bites while mooching with our cut plugs but missed them then Anjuli hooked up again along with Monte and Deb but they both lost theirs. Then it went pretty dead for a hour or two and after the tide slacked we got into the kings again with a quad and loosing one of the 4. These kings were in deep water with current running so it was tough at times to feel the bite. In the end we landed 10 kings keeping 9 with the largest as I said at 30.2 pounds, congrats Anjuli.
We were looking for some big halibut today but no luck catching only small ones…!
Today was a wonderful day leaving the dock at Kingfisher Lodge in Craig alaska to flat calm water and arriving to our fishing spot within 45 minutes. We then doubled up on kings mooching for the salmon using our cut plugs. It was pretty steady hooking with a few doubles and singles on kings landing about 15 and keeping our limit which was 7 total. Halibut fishing finished the day landing many small halibut, but sorting to keep the largest which was about 34″ a bit under the 37″ rule but the 37″ ones are hard to find right in that length. While halibut fishing off shore we had salmon hitting our baits as we dropped to the bottom trying to catch the halibut. We had several follow up the halibut to the boat as well as hooking up kings with the halibut gear. When you are having a hard time getting to the bottom with your halibut gear because the salmon are too thick that is a good problem to have.
Returned home on by 2 pm back to the dock to rest up for another day of fun fishing at Kingfisher Lodge.Tagged alaska fishing report, alaska salmon fishing, craig alaska fishing, craig alaska fishing report, craig alaska sportfishing, prince of wales island fishing report, prince of wales sportfishing
We went out the afternoon of June 24th to slay the kings for a family fun afternoon but only caught 3 in a couple hours. Pictured with a 32 pound king is Father Jean Paul with his first king for the season. Good Job JP!
Leaving the dock at Kingfisher Lodge we had a choppy wind to buck to the fishing grounds that was a bit uncomfortable but only in the sense that drinking coffee was impossible. Once we got to our fishing spot we found it a bit different than we yesterday afternoon when we left. The fish were not as many for sure but we were able to get our limit within a few hours landing 5 kings. From there we went on to get our halibut which we did fairly quickly or at least within a hour or more. As our group is leaving this afternoon we had to get back to the lodge to process and box up the fish for their departure.
Weather seemed to get better as the day went on with winds lightening up a bit.
We woke up June 23rd to overcast skies, light to no wind, flat water so one could drink coffee while enroute to the fishing grounds.
We made our first stop where we have been fishing the last 2 days and limited on Kings in about one hour. The fish seemed to continually stack up in that area and landed a few more before leaving to fish Palegic rock fish and halibut. Halibut fishing started with hooking a very large halibut on a jig that Harry struggled with for about one hour. It was the toughest fish I have ever seen on a halibut rod. Knowing it was very big in almost 300 feet of water and not gaining on the fish I tighted the drag to almost line breaking tension so as to speed up the inevitable of releasing the fish as it was taking valuable time looking for legal halibut. As I mentioned the drag was extremely tight and after 40 minutes of fighting the fish it got irritated and made several runs that I estimate at 150 to 200 feet of line (almost like hooking a sea lion), the speed was very impressive. The fish made several runs like that and then back to the up and down, and mostly down movement of the fish. After about one hour one of the other fishermen got a yellow eye and it wrapped up several other lines and tangeled with the halibut line and when trying to get the mess undone the large halibut made a run and the line parted. None of us were too concerned as it was an inevitable situation in the end releasing the fish, although we would have liked to have seen it. We fished a couple hours getting our limits of halibut and sea bass then looking for silvers we ended back where we started. The fish finder was showing schools of kings much like looking schools of black bass so we ended up with many tripples and doubles of kings in the short half hour spent hooking and releasing. Fearing of harming the kings looking for silvers we headed for home thus ending another successful day of fishing in Craig Alaska at Kingfisher lodge.
June 22nd started out at 6 am leaving the dock after a late night of fishing the day before. We arrived to our spot a little late as the other boats that had arrived for the tide change had been hooking multiple fish. We started and within a half hour landed our first king and by 9:30 had 6 kings of nice size with the largest being 34 pounds caught by Mark Balenger. From there we went on to bottom fish catching our yellow eye, black bass, various rock fish, halibut, and a couple ling cod.
Ocean was slight roll with little to no wind, partly sunny skies.
June 21st started at 6 pm for us since our groups plane was canceled in Seattle so they did not get in until after 4 pm so heading out at 5 pm we were fortunate enough to land 6 kings in 3 hours with the largest at 28 pounds. Dinner was sack lunch but we got the fish.Tagged Kingfisher lodge fishing report, salmon report

GORDON BROWN yesterday announced a series of initiatives to boost trading links between the UK and US just hours before the controversial visit of President George Bush which was set to attract fierce opposition from tens of thousands of protesters.
In a strongly pro-American speech to the CBI's annual conference in Birmingham, the Chancellor stressed the "shared values" and interests between the two countries, which include fighting global terrorism and rogue states.
He travelled to Birmingham with his US counterpart, Treasury Secretary John Snow, who made clear he does not believe the trans-Atlantic dispute over steel tariffs will lead to a full-blown trade war between America and the European Union.
Mr Snow told the conference it was up to Mr Bush to decide to resolve the row. But in comments outside the conference hall, Mr Snow said he had "thrown cold water" on fears of a looming trade war.
The Chancellor said it would be "extremely unfortunate" if the EU and US found themselves in a "tit-for-tat protectionist war" reminiscent of previous disputes which hit the sale of goods including bananas, clementines and cashmere sweaters.
Mr Brown - who faced accusations from Tory leader Michael Howard that the Government was addicted to ever- higher taxation - strongly hinted there will be no further tax increases during this Parliament, saying he was determined to avoid mistakes made by past British governments.
He also endorsed the Bank of England's recent decision to raise interest rates, saying the Monetary Policy Committee "is right to take the forward- looking approach of pre-emptive action - taken as the economy strengthens - to lock in stability".
Meanwhile, Mr Brown risked a fresh clash with unions by signalling the Government's intention to forge ahead with controversial public private partnerships (PPPs) and extending them from transport, schools and hospitals into prisons, social housing and waste management.
Mr Brown pledged the Government would continue to develop PPPs "no matter what the opposition", even though leading public sector unions were mounting campaigns against "creeping privatisation".
The latest test comes today as MPs vote on plans to set up foundation hospitals, which are bitterly opposed by unions, medical staff and many Labour backbenchers.
Mr Brown said he wanted to deepen the relationship between the UK and US, announcing an "enterprise agreement" to strengthen links between business and universities.
CBI director general Digby Jones said Mr Bush had a "brilliant opportunity to show Britain that our belief in free trade is shared by America".
The US action against steel exports, including British exports, was "no way to treat your best friend," he said.
Mr Jones also launched a fresh assault on the EU over labour market regulation but said he was heartened the Chancellor and the Prime Minister had acknowledged that there had to be a change of direction in Brussels.

Forget fancy Christmas presents. Forget your iPads and Kindles. If you were around in 1915, chances are you'd be getting potted meat and an umbrella as a gift.
100 years ago, Blackpool residents were not after an array of the latest must-have presents. Far from it.
Linens and headache remedies were top of the list in an era when the word luxury had a whole different meaning – at least that's what reading the reports in The Gazette tells us.
The edition dated December 17, 1915, featured a Mr H Monk, of Caunce Street, who claimed potted meat was vital to having a happy Christmas.
Mr Monk, a pork butcher, offered sausages and supplied bigger dishes for the discerning customer.
Similarly, Mr F Hindle, a florist and fruiterer on Church Street, claimed he was "the best shop in town for fruit and and flowers and always makes artistic arrangements of his goods."
If you were the picky type – and not quite satisfied with just flowers and potted meat for Christmas – you could rest assured that your linen woes would be taken care of at the Belfast Linen Co on Clifton Street.
"Linens for all purposes", the shop claimed. "Everybody knows the fame of the firm, one may look into our shop windows and not in vain, for something to send away to one's friends that will be most acceptable - ladies and gentlemen's hanker-chiefs, for instance, Irish damask table-cloths, fancy serviettes."
For those who anticipated Boxing Day hangovers, the reliable remedy "Capamint" was available at all local chemists claiming to rid you of those headaches "speedily and without injury." The advert read: "The pleasant mint that looks like a sweet and tastes like a sweet and without harmful effect on the heart. A miracle mint!"
How about an umbrella wrapped up under the tree?
For a rainy day, Kendall umbrellas provided the "finest umbrella value". Claiming to make excellent gifts, Kendall umbrellas on Talbot Road had a "wonderful array of beautuful models at choice and the prices to suit all pockets."
Not content with umbrellas, the shop also offered "very pleasing walking-sticks".
For the more well-to-do folk, 50 shillings in 1915 could buy you a gramophone from Cook's salon on Abingdon Street, which boasted of the progress that has been made with these "talking" machines.
Special records were issued for Christmas, including Zonophone, Jumbo and Diamond records. Complete with six double-sided records a gramophone was available at what they deemed a moderate price - which is the equivalent, in today's money - plus inflation - to £250.
Leaping ahead to today – and there's a surprisingly close comparison.
For one of this year's touted 'must-have' purchases for adults is a gramophone-esque Crosley Cruiser briefcase-style portable vinyl turntable player, as vinyl records make a comeback.
However other top gifts are a world apart.
BB8, a remote-comtrol droid from the new Star Wars film is the must-have item, this Christmas, while Little Live Pets are also proving hugely popular – a parrot you can teach to talk, sing, dance and swing on a perch.
