Carrying his fishing rod and gear, Dan Hannigan recently walked to Spectacle Pond in Wareham, where he chiseled a hole in the ice with a hatchet to drop a lure into the water. With the relatively warm weather this season, the ice is thin, less than the 4 inches needed to walk on it.
Standing by the side of the pond, he set a trap with a spring mechanism. When a fish bites, a flag will rise to alert him.
And so he waited.
Hannigan, a member of the Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe, is among several Wampanoag people in the area who fish year-round in Wareham, on Cape Cod and in Plymouth to keep their cultural practices alive, even though the practice has been forced to change over the years.

CHEF OF THE YEAR Gráinne O’Keefe
In a year when chefs and restaurant folk were challenged more than ever before, Gráinne O’Keefe proved that a knack for quick thinking is just as important as being able to cook a perfect steak (although she does that too… her signature 80-day whiskey-aged côte de boeuf with chimichurri and smoked bone marrow at Clanbrassil House, Dublin 8, is a thing of beauty, and make sure to order the hash brown chips and pickled onion mayonnaise on the side while you’re at it). As culinary director of BuJo, in Sandymount, she was first out of the traps with a burger kit for home cooks and got nationwide delivery up and running before other restaurants had figured out their packaging. (It’s still right up there amongst the very best of the meal kits.) Smart collaborations throughout the year have kept BuJo relevant and in touch with their customers, and new branches are on the cards for 2021. O’Keefe even found time to put in an appearance on
it s fascinating. dan hannigan what a great piece in the wall street journal today, like don t blame trump for a corrosive culture. nice try. but the culture has been corroding for decades. every time conservatives say we ve got to look at this cultural equation, both in politics and entertainment, everything s, they are laughed at and called rooms. you want to circumscribe creative expression. so the idea that trump brought in the era of coarseness which is what many in the left are trying to bamboozle us with his patently ridiculous. we are not saying that trump brought the same. i trace in my book that i wrote in the subject of the decline in the schools taking responsibility for seriously preparing kids for citizenship. it goes back 50 or 60 years. i think it s gotten worse now. laura: isn t it a little difficult for public school teachers especially today, professor, they are competing with a lot.
