Public policy has a clear and unique purpose Policy is a broad concept that embodies several different dimensions. The challenge is to articulate in a comprehensible and cogent way the meaning of this term. In a nutshell, 85.31.102.209public policy seeks to achieve a desired goal that is considered to be in the best interest of all members of society. Examples include clean air, clean water, good health, high employment, an innovative economy, active trade, high educational attainment, decent and affordable housing, minimal levels of poverty, improved literacy, low crime and a socially cohesive society, to name a few. These examples of broad societal goals are not intended to imply that all public policies are directed toward the entire population. Sometimes policies deemed to promote the public interest target only a certain group. Crime prevention policies are in place, for instance, to control the behaviour of repeat offenders. Public health policies may require the forced treatment of individuals with active tuberculosis. The intent of these public policies is to protect all members of society by focusing upon a select few. Policy development is a decision-making process A public policy is a deliberate and (usually) careful decision that provides guidance for addressing selected public concerns. Policy development can be seen, then, as a decisionmaking process that helps address identified goals, problems or concerns. At its core, policy development entails the selection of a destination or desired objective. The actual formulation of policy involves the identification and analysis of a range of actions that respond to these concerns. Each possible solution is assessed against a number of factors such as probable effectiveness, potential cost, resources required for implementation, political context and community support. In short, any given policy represents the end result of a decision as to how best to achieve a specific objective. Most people actually apply a similar process in the decisions they make in their everyday lives – even around fairly inconsequential choices. Say, for example, that a person wanted to travel from Ottawa to Guelph, Ontario, to attend a national meeting. There are several options to consider in determining the optimal travel plans. First, it is possible to drive this distance in a few hours. But an early morning start to the meeting requires a previous day departure and an overnight stay, adding to the cost of the trip. Moreover, the driver must feel comfortable navigating an area with which he or she may Caledon Institute of Social Policy 5 not be familiar. The fatigue factor is an important element – particularly if the driver is an organizer of, or presenter, at the meeting. Some individuals may also need to consider environmental sensitivities. Another option is to take the train from Ottawa to Guelph. Because there is no direct route, a combination of transportation modes must be arranged – a second train, bus ride, taxi or rented car between Toronto and Guelph is required. The need for a connection means that considerably more time must be allocated to this travel choice to take into account both the arrival time and the likely fatigue. A third possibility is to fly from Ottawa to Guelph. This option also involves commuting arrangements between the Toronto airport and Guelph. But while it is the quickest route, it is also the most costly. This route will save time, but not money. In the case of this decision, the traveller must weigh the following factors: travel time, scheduling considerations, cost, potential fatigue and degree of comfort with the proposed arrangement. The choice will depend upon the relative importance, from the perspective of the decision-maker, of each factor. What may be an obvious preference for some (e.g., the least expensive route) may not be the best option for others (e.g., they cannot make appropriate child care arrangements for a trip that requires an overnight stay). The example presented here is not intended to imply that public policy formulation is a simple or simplistic process. Rather, the intent is to illustrate that most people engage – every day and all the time – in a similar method of making choices from a range of options in order to meet their unique needs or achieve certain goals. Obviously, public policy issues are also far more complex than the travel case presented here. They typically affect a large group of people or even an entire population rather than simply one individual. But the process involved in the formulation of public policy is analogous to this personal exploration. A clear goal or destination – an objective to be achieved – must first be set. The various ways to get there or attain that goal are then identified and assessed. Each possible route to a desired objective has unique strengths and weaknesses. These must be carefully considered in determining the appropriate option(s). Assessing and weighing the possible choices is important because the final selection must be justified on several grounds once it is made. There is always a requirement to 'make the case' for and then 'sell' the selected approach – whether the goal is poverty reduction, neighbourhood revitalization or welfare reform, to name just a few areas of current concern. In addition to the complexity of public policy decisions, they also focus upon issues of greater consequence than how to get from one destination to another. The objectives of public policy include, for example, protecting the environment, enhancing healthy child development, promoting economic competitiveness, reducing poverty and revitalizing neighbourhoods. Dear Subscriber to Sunday Homily Helps Here's hoping that your summer is going well and the heat or the cold has not been too oppressive for you. I (we) owe a huge THANK YOU to all of you who participated in our recent Sunday Homily Helps survey. We had a whopping 26% return which is outstanding. It gave us some helpful information, and we are working on implementing the results. We have met several times to go over your input and to determine what changes we need to make. Please be patient as we plan the future of our product. The major issues we face are rising costs and decreasing numbers of subscribers. The decrease is directly related to the age and decreasing number of active priests and deacons—something we here at Franciscan Media cannot control. But we are addressing the issues in a couple of ways. First, we are taking steps to increase our circulation. We are looking for a higher percentage of people to be subscribers—priests, deacons, lay ecclesial ministers, etc. Second, beginning in January we will be reducing our mailings from 12 to six times per year. Thus, in November you will receive the Sunday Homily Helps for January and February. In January, you will receive the issues for March and April, and so forth. There will be no reduction in the number of issues. This is merely a change in mailing which will save costs. All of us at Franciscan Media appreciate your subscribing to our product, and we pledge to constantly find ways to cut costs and increase quality. We want to maintain a good service for you as you minister to God's holy people. We are always open to your suggestions. Peace, Fr. Donald Miller, O.F.M.

These bonds are often undone by sin and selfishness, yet God works to reconcile them through Christ, the prophets, and each one of us. SUMMARY: The commandments are not mere rules meant to limit our freedom. Rather, they are reminders of who we are and why we have been created. They show us how to live a life fulfilled. It is never too late to return to God and restore right relationships with one another. God works for reconciliation and invites us to do the same. A) ATTENTION-GETTER: Families are a messy business! No family is perfect and every family at one time or another goes through times of tribulation. Be it divorce, drug addiction, the loss of a job, or the death of a loved one, life throws things at us that shake the very foundations of our relationships. When our most valued relationships are threatened, we suffer. The question is, "How do we repair it?" B) APPLICATION: Happily, with God there is a way of reconciliation. As Christian disciples, we are given the grace to forgive and be forgiven. When we forgive, we participate in God's divine action in the world. We are called to be a public witness to what God longs for all the world to do—forgive. 1) We owe love. a) God created us for no other reason than to love us. As in any family, the only essential response to love is to love in return. b) Love of God begins with loving our own selves. We have been given the greatest gift, the gift of life itself! c) When we cherish our lives and all it entails, we respond in gratitude. For many, this is especially true with our families, friends, and community. d) But it isn't always easy to love. It requires work, but it is the greatest work. As St. Paul says, "Love is the fulfillment of the law." Everything we are made for and called to be is summed up in this simple phrase. with us always. b) No matter what we do or believe, no matter how much of a scoundrel we may be, we can turn to God for mercy. c) God's mercy and forgiveness are beyond our comprehension. 2) Paul was torn between a desire to continue living in service to others or to be eternally united with God. a) While we have no reason to fear death, our lives are of great value. b) Despite the knowledge that we will live forever with God, we are called to live lives of witness and service. c) We remain alive because of God's plans for us and God's ability to use us in service to the Gospel and the kingdom. 3) Jesus taught a lesson about God's generosity through one of his parables. a) Jesus tells the story of a man who owned a vineyard as a metaphor for the way we can expect God to treat people. b) The vineyard owner called on people at various times and wherever they happened to be. c) At the end of the day, the landowner paid all the workers the same amount, no matter what time they began working. d) Those who worked all day had a hard time understanding the landowner's action and were quite vocal about what they considered unfair treatment. e) Jesus used the story to demonstrate God's generosity in rewarding all people in the same way. 4) We can never understand the love and generosity of God. a) God's love for us is unconditional. b) God's unconditional love is beyond our understanding. c) God transcends our concepts of reward and punishment and even what we call "justice." d) While we all benefit from God's generosity and unconditional love, God calls on believers to treat others the same way. e) When we adopt such a "godly" attitude, we will transform this world into the kingdom that Jesus promised. C) TRANSITION TO LITURGY OF EUCHARIST: Recognizing that God will never turn away anyone who comes to him, let us gather together around the table as one family united by God's love and generosity.

BOX 30005 • LANSING, MICHIGAN 48909 www.michigan.gov/lcc • (517) 322-1345 In Galápagos, Clashes Between Fishers and Managers Jeopardize Conservation Efforts Dozens of fishers in the Galápagos Islands, angered by resource managers' refusal to expand a lobster quota, rioted in mid-November, looting and destroying buildings including the administrative building of the Galápagos National Park. Eventually halted by military personnel sent from mainland Ecuador, the clashes signaled the continuation of episodes among Galapagueño fishers to use violence to oppose conservation efforts. Conservation scientists in the Galápagos Islands face the challenge of implementing several initiatives — including a zoning plan to create a network of no-take areas (MPA 1:7) — in an island society that is increasingly trying to benefit from valuable fisheries. Gold-rush fisheries Although industrial fishing is banned within the 140,000 sq. km Galápagos Marine Reserve, "artisanal fishing" by locals is still allowed in most of it. The reserve was created in 1998 by the Special Law of the Galápagos, which placed the reserve under the jurisdiction of the National Parks Service. The National Parks Service also oversees the Galápagos National Park. The mid-November unrest is the latest in a string of serious conflicts dating back to 1992, coinciding with the development of sea cucumber fishing in the archipelago. Efforts by park officials to place restrictions on the sea cucumber harvest in the mid-1990s led to the shooting of one park official and threats to other officials working for the park and for the Charles Darwin Research Station. Owing to the islands' sea cucumber fishery and a growing, yet illegal, shark-fin fishery, the gross income of the Galápagos fishing sector has skyrocketed in the past few years. The sea cucumber fishery is worth US $3.5-4.0 million to Galápagos fishermen per annual two-month season, and shark fins are reportedly earning $100 per shark. With the money to be made, these are boom times for Galapagueño fishers. The number of registered pepinos (sea cucumber fishers) in Galápagos rose more than 70% from 1999 to 2000 alone. Many locals with limited experience in the fishing sector have declared themselves to be fishers, and some fishing cooperatives have accepted them. What partly sparked the riots in November was a price spike in the value of spiny lobster, which attracted the burgeoning fishing effort to target on that fishery. By some reports, it was possible in the 2000 lobster fishery to earn US $500/day, compared to perhaps US $100/day in 1999. Some officials have questioned the US $500/day figure as an exaggeration; nonetheless, the number of registered divers for lobster in Galápagos jumped from 200 in 1999 to 450 in 2000. Amid this surge in fishing effort, the national government's quota of 50 metric tons of lobster tails for the four-month season (September to December) was reached by the end of October. Fishers appealed to the local Participatory Management Board — composed of local authorities and representatives from the tourism, fishing, and conservation sectors — but the board reconfirmed the closure in early November. Following this, from 13-17 November, groups of fishers mobilized and engaged in a number of disruptive activities, including seizing local government and research institutions, kidnapping giant tortoises from a tortoise raising center, and even ramming tourists' dinghies with fishing boats. The private home of Park Director Juan Chavez was invaded and destroyed; gifts of toys and clothes intended for his children were stolen and distributed in the streets. Dear Readers, If you start an email list, the best way to promote it is simple: Give a free eBook to new subscribers. Sure, a newsletter is nice, but the eBook is the invite to the party and in reality most people want something quick and tangible. So the way we do it is you create an eBook, then email each subscriber individually? L.O.L. Maybe 20 years ago. In this post, let's do it the right way. Let's deliver an eBook on auto pilot to new subscribers so we can do no work whatsoever in the moment.
