The Budget Speaks Clearly — Years of Incest (“Collaboration”) Between Fatherhood Promotion/Domestic Abuse (and Batterers Intervention/Child Abuse Prevention, etc.) Programs Have Produced Inbred Blindness to Their Ongoing Operating System Failures (First Published Jan. 10, 2012)
Blog Admin. Update:
When this post came up in a phrase search (“enhanced judicial training for domestic violence” or similar) in late July, 2019, I came back to add the “Click to Read More” instruction. While here, I’m adding my now usual title protocol (including link to title and identifying shortlink, date published and approximate length). Also because (since I upgraded the blog) the format needs a spruce-up, which accounts for addition of borders, and (perhaps) eliminating now-broken links to graphics, a factor of my beginning-blogger status back in 2010. But please notice — I wasn’t slow to pick up on the inbred group dynamics within the DV industry, USA! //LGH Aug. 1, 2019)
POST TITLE: The Budget Speaks Clearly — Years of Incest (“Collaboration”) Between Fatherhood Promotion/Domestic Abuse (and Batterers Intervention/Child Abuse Prevention, etc.) Programs Have Produced Inbred Blindness to Their Ongoing Operating System Failures (First Published Jan. 10, 2012) (short-link ends “-Z9” | Approximate length including this update, 9,700 words).
Alternate proposed titles (after coughing up this post):
Shared Silences on Family Secrets among DV and Fatherhood Groups show who’s their Real Daddy, in some cases, Sugar-Daddy.
This is from an acknowledgement in the Duluth Tribune, forwarded to me from a Batterers Intervention Program group:
Pence helped found the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project and is credited with creating the Duluth Model of intervention in domestic violence cases, which uses an interagency approach involving police, probation, courts and human services. The primary goal is to protect victims from ongoing abuse. The project also included the start of Duluth’s mandatory arrest policy, which says an arrest must be made if there is an injury and police have evidence of an assault.
Linda Riddle, executive director of the Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs, said the Duluth model is used in all 50 states and at least 17 countries.
“No one has done more to end violence against women than Ellen Pence,” Riddle said. “She has been a teacher, mentor, friend and sister to countless women and men across the world.”

Wishcamper Center has grand opening
— Gov. John Baldacci joined both of Maine’s U.S. senators and more than 200 other guests on Thursday for the grand opening of the latest addition to the University of Southern Maine’s campus in Portland.

The $13 million Wishcamper Center on Bedford Street is the new home of USM’s Muskie School of Public Service and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
It is the first phase of a $32.2 million project on Bedford Street that will also expand the Osher Map Library, add an entrance to the Glickman Family Library and install a 30-foot-wide promenade, university spokesman Bob Caswell said in a written statement.
The Wishcamper Center is cooled and heated by geothermal energy from 1,500-foot wells and is certified for environmentally friendly design.
A short search led to a sample “2007 summer institute” at the Muskie School. Read ALL these bios and understand the close-knit (if web-based/conference-based) community of DV professionals, just a sampler:

And here’s (below) Barbara J. Hart’s — like Ellen Pence, also a remarkable woman who has changed society by the organizations she has founded. Yet, not proved “coachable” to the problems caused by the policies of these organizations, and I did try. I believe it must be simply a mind-set affected by professional associations over the years, and by dramatic success in expanding the influence and reach of this “interlocking directorate” of organizations which have just about collectively filtered out and out-PR’d, out-maneuvered, and silenced mothers talking about AFCC, CRC, and other things which specifically finger serious holes in logic, and programming.
Please notice the various organizations include PCADV, NCADV, and BWJP, among others:
