We must stop eating meat to stop mass malnutrition and mass starvation and also to stop greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution that threatens the Biosphere and Humanity. However meat producers and some environmentalists argue otherwise. Thus Professor Tim Flannery is a leading Australian environmentalist but has already raised the ire of many other environmentalists by supporting the empirically ineffective and hence counterproductive Carbon Trading-based Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) approach to putting a price on carbon pollution. He has now rejected the sensible approach of the vegetarians by stating that "I believe that in a world facing a food shortage and a climate crisis, livestock represent a potent weapon in the fight to stabilize our climate." As detailed below, Professor Flannery, no matter his good intentions, is wrong on both matters.
Professor Tim Flannery: "Worldwide, many graziers are radically rethinking the nature of their businesses in ways that look set to achieve a significant enhancement in the retention of soil carbon. One of the most promising approaches, which are now being practiced on around 12 million acres globally, is known as holistic management… Over the past few decades some pioneering graziers, following Savory's methods, have been doing things very differently. They use electric fencing to divide their land into small paddocks, and pull all of their livestock together in just one of these paddocks. Within a day or two, the cattle have eaten everything they can reach, and the ground has been churned into a bare, dung-filled mass. The farmer then releases the cattle into the next small paddock, and so on until, at harvest time… It is argued by those who oppose meat eating that cattle produce methane, and therefore a better strategy would be to destock the rangelands altogether. But is it really desirable to abandon use of the world's rangelands at a time of perilous food security?
Furthermore, if the rangelands were to be destocked and left unmanaged, it is likely that fire would burn the vegetation, which would lead to more carbon entering the atmosphere and huge increases in nitrous oxide. I believe that in a world facing a food shortage and a climate crisis, livestock represent a potent weapon in the fight to stabilize our climate " (see Tim Flannery, "Red meat can be green", Sydney Morning Herald On-line, National Times, 9 August 2010).
Professor Flannery's argument that BS (cow dung) can help save the planet is, in a phrase, BS, as set out below. Whether we go over the cliff at 1 kph, 100 kph or 200 kph has the same end result. Professor Tim Flannery has made the same fundamental error in supporting a Carbon Trading-based Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) approach. Doing something is of no use if it doesn't prevent disaster.
As evident from the failed December 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Summit, the worst greenhouse gas polluters of the First World support cap-and –trade Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) approaches to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution despite contrary advice from top climate scientists and climate economists. In short, a Carbon Tax is the best way and Carbon Trading is flawed, will not work, is inequitable, has been empirically ineffective, will divert us from effective action and will lead to a carbon pricing "bubble" and another market meltdown. Indeed Carbon Trading flies in the face of Professor Nicholas Stern's advice that "Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen".
Carbon trading is inherently fraudulent because it involves a government selling something it does not possess, specifically the right to pollute the one common atmosphere and one common ocean of every country in the world.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is currently at 392 parts per million (ppm) and increasing at an upper estimate of 2.5 ppm per year.
Top climate scientists say that we must be urgently reducing GHG pollution rather than increasing it. Thus some leading scientists argue that we must reduce atmospheric CO2 concentration from the current dangerous and damaging 392 ppm to a safe and sustainable 300 ppm for a safe planet for all peoples and all species. Prior to the last century, the atmospheric CO2 concentration had not exceeded 300 ppm for about 800,000 years, the period in which man finally evolved from primate precursors.
Professor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber (Potsdam Institute, Germany) has estimated that for a 67% chance of avoiding a disastrous 2C temperature rise the world must get CO2 emissions to zero by 2050. All men being equal and hence requiring equal shares in atmospheric pollution, leading per capita GHG polluters such as the US and Australia must get to zero CO2 emissions by 2020 (this being quite achievable according to Beyond Zero Emissions' plan for 100% renewable energy for Australia by 2002 and Stanford University's Professor Mark Jacobson's plan for 100% renewable energy for the world by 2030).
In short, what is required is (1) Change of societal philosophy to one of scientific risk management and biological sustainability with complete cessation of species extinctions and zero tolerance for lying, (2) urgent reduction of atmospheric CO2 to a safe level of about 300 ppm as recommended by leading climate and biological scientists, and (3) a rapid switch to the best non-carbon and renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tide and hydro options that are currently roughly the same market price as coal burning-based power) and to energy efficiency, public transport, needs-based production, re-forestation and return of carbon as biochar to soils coupled with correspondingly rapid cessation of fossil fuel burning, deforestation, methanogenic livestock production and population growth. .
Biochar is a major component of reducing atmospheric CO2, global warming and bushfire risk. Biochar can be made from anaerobic pyrolysis at 400-700C of biomass from expertly-advised agricultural and bushland fuel hazard reduction harvesting (e.g. straw, wood waste, woody weeds) and thus (a) reduce bushfire threat; (b) provide a valuable, soil-enriching and crop productivity-enhancing product for producing "terra preta" soil; (c) help combat man-made global warming by drawing down atmospheric CO2; and (d) provide rural employment and farm income supplementation. In my view biochar (charcoal) is very likely what can save the Planet's biosphere. The technology is straightforward and has been used by charcoal makers for thousands of years, specifically heating plant material to 400-700 degrees Centigrade in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic pyrolysis) to generate carbon (C) from plant cellulose (roughly (CHO)n) .Carbon (C) is stable (unless you set fire to it and have plenty of oxygen - neither being likely underground) whereas plant cellulose (roughly (CH20)n) is oxidized by soil organisms to yield the GHGs CO2 and H2O or worse still, converted by anaerobic bacteria to methane, CH4, which is about 21 times worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas (GHG) on a 100 year time scale (72 times worse on a 20 year time scale). The amount of biochar that can be made from plant waste each year is roughly the same as the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere each year from carbon burning by man.
Unfortunately, Professor Flannery has a flawed view of biochar as revealed by these comments on being asked about biochar in an Australian ABC TV interview [my corrections to his assertions are in bold] : "TIM FLANNERY: Look, the specific technologies, I think, are yet to be debated, but I would be surprised if biochar weren't included in there. I mean, the precise nature of the offsets, I should say, are still being worked out, but I'm sure that charcoal is one of the obvious ones. And just to let you know how that works, you know, just imagine a coal-fired power plant burns a ton of coal, you get 3.7 tones of carbon dioxide because the little carbon atoms join with bigger oxygen atoms to make them a CO2 molecule [you actually get much LESS because not all coal is carbon and not all the carbon, C, gets burned or fully oxidized to CO2]. That floats around in the air, a plant gets hold of it, strips the oxygen off again [no, just some of the oxygen O is stripped off] and just keeps the carbon in its own tissue, so you've got that 3.7 going back to a single ton again 'cause there's carbon in the plant structure itself [not so; the photosynthesis equation is actually: CO2 + H2O -> CH2O + O2 i.e. carbohydrate (CH2O) n is generated, not carbon, C]. You then combust that, make charcoal out of it and then store the charcoal, which is almost pure carbon, in the soil [CH2O -> H2O + C]. .
TONY JONES (interviewer): So, how does this work for a farmer? I mean, you're talking about part of their crop is used obviously for export; the rest of it, the waste then becomes turned into charcoal and therefore somehow holds the carbon that's in that waste. Is that what you're talking about?
Raising and eating cattle to save the Planet and doing it by overstocking to transiently replace all paddock vegetation with dung are both absurd suggestions as summarized below.
1. World Bank analysis by Robert Goodland and Jeff Anfang recently established that annual greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution was 50% bigger than hitherto thought and that methane-generating (methanogenic) livestock contributed over 51% of the revised higher amount. To save the planet and reverse atmospheric GHG pollution we should adopt a vegetarian diet and eliminate methanogenic livestock.
2. Re overstocking, in 1925 part of Koonamore Station in arid zone South Australia was fenced off from sheep and cattle by the University of Adelaide Botany Department. I stayed there several times and saw the result 45 years ago of lush growth inside and quasi-desert outside (scattered bluebush and salt bush and even more sparse stunted trees). Indeed LandSat images of the Earth in the 1970s revealed a rectilinear, grossly overstocked South Australian station from outer space, the core message being to keep herbivores out of native vegetation and to stop overstocking .
3. The amount of biochar (charcoal, carbon) that can be made from anaerobic pyrolysis of plant waste (heating to 400-700C in the absence of oxygen) is roughly the same each year as the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere each year from carbon burning by man. Indeed having got to zero GHG emissions through cessation of industrial and agricultural GHG pollution, it is still necessary to generate and store biochar, as well as to do re-forestation, to reduce the atmospheric CO2 concentration from the current 392 ppm to about 300 ppm.
Humus refers to biodegraded biological material in soils that adds to soil quality. Indeed humus in soils represents a major carbon sink. The humus compounds most resistant to further biodegradation are humic acids formed by the microbial degradation of dead plant matter, notably cellulose-associated lignin. However while biochar is carbon (C ), carbon dioxide is CO2, and cellulose is (CH2O)n, humic acids still have oxygen linked to the carbon skeleton and a formula that is roughly (C2H2O)n. The aromatic (benzene ring-containing) and metal-chelating carboxylic acid (-COOH) moieties in humic acids make these substances relatively water insoluble, thus preventing further microbial degradation.
Humus in soils is fine (as is biochar in soils) but anaerobic degradation of cellulose materials in methanogenic (methane-generating) livestock bacteria comes at a big price: the generation of methane (CH4) that is 72 times worse than CO2 as a GHG on a 20 year time scale. Whereas the FAO attributed 7,516 Mt (million tones) CO2-e )CO2 –equivalent) to livestock, the recent World Bank re-assessment increased this to over 32,564 Mt CO2-e and increased the estimate of annual man-made GHG pollution from 41,755 Mt CO2-e to 63,803 Mt CO2-e. Conversely, converting plant waste to biochar via renewable energy-powered microwave furnaces carries no such GHG debt.
Doing something "Because a first step is better than nothing" is counterproductive if doing something makes things worse. Former Australian Liberal-National Party Coalition leader Malcolm Turnbull believes (unlike some of his fellow Coalition MPs) that man-made climate change is a reality and that we should do something about it. Malcolm Turnbull eventually lost the Coalition leadership because of his highly principled support for the highly flawed Rudd Labor Government ETS that was also supported by environmentalists like the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) and Professor Flannery "Because a first step is better than nothing". However the Turnbull-Rudd ETS compromise involved permanently excluding agriculture from GHG considerations and thus proposed to ignore over 51% of the GHG pollution problem - forever.
Finally, let us consider beef eating in a starving world. The conversion efficiency (kg grain to produce 1 kg gain in live weight) is as follows: herbivorous farmed fish (e.g. carp, tilapia, catfish; less than 2), chicken (2), pork (4), and beef (7). In 2003, 37 percent of the world grain harvest, or nearly 700 million tons, used to produce animal protein. Meat eating is an indulgence in a starving world threatened by a worsening Climate Emergency, Biofuel Genocide. and steeply rising food prices. Cessation of meat eating would mean plenty of food for all on Spaceship Earth.
Professor Flannery has stated "I believe that in a world facing a food shortage and a climate crisis, livestock represent a potent weapon in the fight to stabilize our climate" but is wrong on both counts. As outlined above, methanogenic livestock production contributes over 51% of our annual GHG pollution. Further, while food prices are escalating and threatening the lives of billions of people, it takes 7 kg of grain to produce 1 kg of beef. Professor Tim Flannery's call for livestock to help feed a starving world is rather like the famous remark incorrectly attributed to Marie Antoinette of "Let them eat cake". Methanogenic livestock production must cease if we are to stop mass malnutrition and mass starvation and to save the planet in the short time we have left to do so. Please tell everyone you can.

Scandrett Regional Park is a regional park located on the north east tip of the Mahurangi Peninsula, north of the city of Auckland, New Zealand. It encompasses Mullet Point and includes regenerating coastal forest, rocky headlands that protrude into Kawau Bay, Scandretts Bay beach and a precinct of historic farm buildings. The total area of land is 44.4 hectares or 100 acres. The people of Auckland own the park through the Auckland Council.

Early Māori history

The Māori name for Scandretts Bay is , meaning 'the expansive sparkling waters'; Mullet Point is , referring to the 'extensive sea views' from this strategic headland pā (fortification).

In pre-European times this place was known for its plentiful marine and coastal forest resources, particularly kanae or mullet, muri () or school sharks, and whale and dolphin species. In recent years, whales have again been seen in the vicinity of Mātairoa/Mullet Point.

Local tradition says the land was occupied by ancient peoples known as Ngāti Kui, Tūtūmaiao and Tūrehu, and that the famous ancestor and voyager, Toi Te Huatahi, visited Mahurangi some eight centuries ago. His association is recalled in names of many islands and waters in the area. Some of his descendants settled with the earlier occupants, and are ancestors of the iwi (tribal groups) still associated with the district.

The hapū (sub tribal groups) of Ngāti Manuhiri, Ngāti Rongo and Ngāti Kahu, including their smaller sub-groupings, claim mana whenua (traditional land rights) in the Mahurangi – Matakana area. Those hapū are related to the larger iwi of Ngātiwai and Ngāti Whātua, and are tied to several of the famous ancestral voyaging canoes, like the Tainui, Arawa, Moekākara and Māhuhukiterangi canoes.

A series of conquests from the early 1600s led to Te Kawerau leader Maki dividing up the entire Mahurangi area among his three eldest sons, Manuhiri (Ngāti Manuhiri), Ngawhetu (Ngāti Rongo), and Maeaeariki (Ngāti Raupō, Ngāti Kahu and Ngati Kā), including the land that now makes up Scandrett Regional Park.

Over time, all of these closely related hapū made alliances with Ngāti Whātua, Ngāi Tāhūhū and Ngāti Manaia (Ngātiwai) and occupied the Mahurangi area in peace for several generations.

Conflict with Marutūahu
Fighting between the Te Kawerau ā Maki and Marutūahu tribal confederations, over control of the fishing resources of the eastern coastline between the Whāngaparāoa peninsula and Matakana, began in the 1720s and continued sporadically throughout the century.

The Marutūahu tribes occupied the Hauraki Gulf and did not want control of land, rather the famed tauranga mangō or shark fishing grounds north of Whāngaparāoa, including Purahurawai / Scandretts Bay and Moanauriuri / Kawau Bay, where thousands of school sharks were caught and dried in late summer for winter food. The Te Kawerau hapū (Ngāti Manuhiri, Ngāti Rongo, Ngāti Raupō and Ngāti Kā) remained on their Mahurangi lands, but clashed with the Marutūahu tribes, who continued to harvest Mahurangi shark until the Musket Wars stopped this, from around 1821.

Today, Marutūahu iwi still assert ancestral associations with the Mahurangi district, including through the Waitangi Tribunal. Representatives of the Te Kawerau hapū work with Auckland Council as kaitiaki (guardians) over regional parkland in Mahurangi. Ngāti Manuhiri were consulted in the acquisition of Scandrett Regional Park; were part of the opening in 2004; and continue to act as kaitiaki.

Use of land and resources

Mātairoa / Mullet Point was occupied by Māori for many generations, evidenced by visible archaeological features including two headland pā, tūāpapa (house terraces), rua (food storage pits), ahu otaota (shell middens), rubbish dumps (from food waste), and groves of harakeke (flax), karaka and tawāpou.

Centuries of continuous Māori settlement was centred in the same area where the Scandrett family had their home and gardens, behind Purahurawai / Scandretts Bay. This area was warm, relatively sheltered, had easily worked soils and permanent water sources from several small streams leading to the beach.

Associated seasonal occupation sites are found on the ridge overlooking Martins Bay, and a large pā on the headland adjoining the regional park, at the north-western end of Purahurawai / Scandretts Bay. Protected by a deep double ditch, the pā would have been occupied by Rangatira (chiefs) and provided shelter in times of conflict. The name of the pā is not recorded, but has the locality name: Purahurawai.

Mātairoa / Mullet Point takes its name from the headland pā located on its northern extremity, which is protected by seaward steep cliffs and by a defensive landward ditch. Although its earthworks are hard to make out from years of farming, this was less of a defensive site, more a lookout point over the seaways to the north and south, and for spotting fish and whales.

Crops in the bay would have included kūmara, hue (gourds), uhi (yams), taro and aruhe (the root of the bracken fern). The stream wetlands would have provided food like raupō pollen, pūkeko and ducks; and building and weaving materials like raupō, kuta and harakeke or flax. The former coastal forest would have been an important source of food, medicine and building & fishing materials. Plants like whau, ngaio, nīkau palm, toetoe, karaka, tawāpou, pōhutukawa; and birds like tūī, kūkupa (native pigeon) and kākā. Māori harvested the area's marine resources all year round, including fish, kōura (crayfish), pipi, tuatua, tuangi (cockle) and tipa (scallop), kina, pāua, kūtai (mussel), tio (rock oyster), pūpū (catseye) and kākara (whelk). Occasional stranded whales provided food and bone.

Early European history

In December 1770 Captain James Cook sailed through the northern Hauraki Gulf, roughly charting the coastline. Other European sailing vessels, mainly whalers, arrived from the early 1800s. Missionaries including Reverend Samuel Marsden camped on Kawau Island opposite Mātairoa / Mullet Point in 1820, noting no Māori were visible in the area due to ongoing conflict. In 1821 Captain J. Downie of the Royal Navy Supply Ship HMS Coromandel noted the 'reported passage and deep water' in the vicinity of Mullet Point, as well as 'cowrie' (kauri) reported to grow on the slopes here.

By the 1820s the Māori occupants of Mātairoa / Mullet Point would have received European pigs, potatoes, steel tools & utensils, and devastating epidemic diseases and weapons.

Mahurangi hapū fought a Ngāpuhi force in 1822, and a large combined Ngāpuhi force in 1825. Local survivors fled to the Waikato, the Bay of Islands, and north of Whāngarei, until the mid-1830s when peace had been settled between tribes, and the influence of Christianity had begun. They returned to discover non-resident Hauraki tribes had begun selling forests and their ancestral land to European traders.

The Crown purchase of the Ōmaha and Mahurangi block from 'the united tribes of Thames' on 13 April 1841 included Mātairoa / Mullet Point, effectively leaving Ngāti Manuhiri and Ngāti Rongo landless. By the early 1840s the Crown had recognised the interests of local resident groups like Ngāti Manuhiri, Ngāti Raupō and Ngāti Rongo, but had not created reserves for them. On 1 November 1853, Mātairoa / Mullet Point was deemed to be Crown land. As part of the settlement of Treaty of Waitangi historical claims, the Crown has formally apologised to Ngāti Manuhiri and Ngāti Rongo for Treaty breaches associated with land alienation.

From 1853 local hapū no longer occupied Mātairoa and Purahurawai, although they were still fishing in the area and assisting the first European families to settle in the district. In the 1860s, a thriving European economy based around timber milling, boat building and farming developed. The Māori residents of the district were involved in these activities, although they lived a largely subsistence lifestyle on the remaining fragments of their ancestral land.

Mātairoa was now referred to by Europeans as 'Mullet Point' and Purahurawai was now referred to as 'Mullet Bay'. In 1853 a Crown grant to Mullet Point and the eastern half of Mullet Bay (later Scandretts Bay) was issued to John Willis who quickly on-sold the 35 acre Mullet Point property to shipbuilder William Davis Anderson who settled on the land with his Māori wife, Ripeka, and their five children. In partnership with William Garland he completed a 24 ton sailing schooner Nile, at Mullet Bay in 1856, accessing pōhutukawa, tōtara and kauri timber.

In 1859 Anderson sold 17.2 acres (the eastern end of Mullet Bay) to Garland who completed the 41 ton sailing ship Eagle in 1865. In May 1864 Anderson sold the remainder of his Mullet Point property back to John Willis for £60.

Scandrett family history

In July 1864 Willis sold all of his interests in the land to George Scandrett and John Braithwaite, settlers of Kawau Island, for £550, with Sir George Grey putting up part of the funding. Scandrett had arrived the year before from Northern Ireland and he married Helena Dillon, also from Ireland, in the same year as he bought the farm. By October 1864, Scandrett had bought Garland's property and bought out Braithwaite.

Scandrett named the now 52 acre farm Lisadian after his home townland in Ireland and gradually brought it into production. The oldest building still on the park is the barn built in 1864 which was used to store hay, saddles and farm equipment, and also doubled as a community hall. In the 1870s, a Norfolk pine, which as of 2019 is still growing on the park, and oak and plane trees, gifts from George Grey were planted next to the barn. The family lived in the wooden cottage built by Garland for 22 years, and it was the birthplace of their nine children. In time, they purchased the western end of the bay, growing the property to 110 acres.

The family was largely self-sufficient, producing their own meat, milk, butter, fruit & vegetables and harvesting from the sea. The farm produce, that they sold to shipbuilders, the settlement of Warkworth and to George Grey's Mansion House, included sheep meat and wool, fruit, vegetables, seeds, plants, flowers, poultry, honey, mānuka firewood and pōhutakawa timber. Wood was cut by hand, and produce was transported by horse and sled, row boat and sailing cutter. From 1871 a fortnightly steamboat service connected the Scandretts to Auckland for trade, mail and sometimes passengers.

The – today restored – concrete villa was completed in 1886. Instead of the typical kauri timber, it was made of an early type of concrete, with shingle transported by cutter from Motuketekete Island, then owned by Scandrett. The original invoice for the house was discovered and is being preserved by the council with a copy on display at the farm. The cost of the home and some additional work on other buildings was £418 or the equivalent of $NZD 474,000 in 2010.

George and Helena's second son, Thomas was born in 1876. After marrying Lucy Driver of Thames the year before, Thomas took over his parents' farm in 1907. He added a further 260 acres to the farming operation and became a successful farmer, dairyman, orchardist, market gardener, nurseryman, apiarist and poultry man. He was highly awarded at Agricultural and Pastoral (A&P) shows. In addition to raising four children, Lucy was involved in farm production, sewed most of the family clothing, made bread & butter daily, baked, and preserved fruit & vegetables.

In 1907 Thomas brought a small motor launch, Aroha which transported produce, and was licensed to carry passengers and commercially fish for mullet and other species. The shed built to house the Aroha is today preserved at the park. The farm also canned fruit and sold it under the Lisadian label. Lisadian honey was produced from over a hundred hives.

When Thomas died of pneumonia in 1927 at age 50, his sons George (III), aged 17, and Raymond, aged 13, helped their mother Lucy run the farm; along with their sister Mabel, from age 19, for much of the following decade; and their brother Thomas (II), from age 9. The farm received its first telephone in 1914, its first car in 1927, its fully mechanised milking shed and cream separator in 1933, its second launch, also named Aroha in 1936, its first metalled road in 1947 and electricity in 1954. An additional neighbouring 163 acres was bought for £3000 before George and Ray took over management of the property in 1951 and farmed as Scandrett Brothers.

In 1958 the Scandrett Brothers Lisadian Farm and its three generations of pioneering work was honoured in the publication Farms and Stations of New Zealand. It was described as 'a well-manicured pastoral farm running 50 breeding beef cattle' and 'approximately 1000 Romney ewes and Border Leicester rams'. It also noted 'Pōhutukawa have been retained around the foreshore of the three sheltered bays, giving a parklike air'.

From 1948 the family allowed a small number of baches to be built at the western end of what was now known as Scandretts Bay. Over 50 years this expanded to 80 site leases on the property for baches, caravans and camping, which often provided more income than the farm. Generations of holiday makers, and the families of Ray and George, have fond memories of helping with milking, haymaking and lambing, as well as fishing, harvesting shellfish and field mushrooms, horse riding, swimming, water skiing, picnicking and wandering the farm.

After Raymond died in 1993 – the last Scandrett to live permanently in the homestead – both families explored various options for the property, but after several years, made the difficult decision to sell it. The original Lisadian 44.4 hectares, including Scandretts Bay and Mullet Point, was brought by the Auckland Regional Council (ARC) for $4,750,000 in 1998.

Regional park

The property was purchased by the ARC for use as a regional park. At the time of purchase, there was a near complete collection of farm buildings dating from the 1880s or earlier, including the homestead, barn, boatshed, cow shed, implement shed, tractor shed and a henhouse / calf shed. In the past, whenever a farm had been purchased for use as a regional park, there had been a tendency for the old farm buildings to be demolished except for the farmhouse. In the case of Scandrett's farm, however, the heritage division of the ARC saw all the buildings retained and preserved. The caravan site leases were withdrawn, and bach leases gradually ran out. Three 40s-style baches were kept and restored for rental. One had been previously owned by Geoff Moon and the family of Trelise Cooper.

Prior to most of the Scandrett baches being removed, the motion picture Rain was filmed on the property in 2000 with the coastal beach replacing Lake Taupo which was the setting of the novel the film was based upon.

Scandrett Regional Park was opened by Prime Minister Helen Clark on 26 Sept 2004.

The ARC received a New Zealand Institute of Architects heritage award in 2007 for the conservation work done on the farm buildings. In 2011 interpretive panels were installed in the old homestead on topics such as information about Scandrett family members who lived on the farm, the buildings and architecture, and about historical food production.

Auckland Council produced five videos about the park and its history in 2018 and 2019: Season by Season about Ray and Fran Scandrett's homestead garden; Living at Scandretts Bay as recollected by George Scandrett's wife, Joan; and Heaven on Earth, Lifelong friendships at Scandretts Bay and High on the Hill at Scandretts Bay featuring former bach dwellers and Sue Blake (née Scandrett).

Creepy, crawly love: Colorado's annual tarantula 'migration' has begun
Denver7
By: KMGH Staff
Over the next few weeks, the setting sun over the Rocky Mountains will lure thousands of hairy, eight-legged creatures out of their burrows across the eastern plains in search of love.
It's that time of year again — Colorado's tarantula "migration" is underway.
This annual phenomenon has gathered an increase in public interest and fascination over the past few years.
Here's what you need to know about the tarantula "migration" in Colorado.
Q. What is the tarantula "migration?"
The quotes around migration are there for a reason. It's not quite accurate to call their movements a migration, as they're simply just visible more than other times of the year and appear to be marching around on a mission. But the phrase caught on.
This time of year, male tarantulas in the southeastern part of Colorado will leave the safety of their burrows to search for females, who stay hidden in their own holes, said Mario Padilla, a lead entomologist at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster.
Megan Starcevich | Discover Colorado Facebook group
Megan Starcevich captured this photo of a tarantula south of La Junta on Sept. 3, 2021.
"People see them out walking around, so they're like, 'Where are they going? They must be migrating,'" Padilla said. "They're not truly migrating. And it's only the males that walk around. You don't see the females at all."
When the males find a female's burrow, they drum their legs at the entrance — like rapid, soft knocking on a front door — and wait for the female to come out to breed.
The males don't live long after mating. Death by predator, car or starvation — or rather, lack of interest in eating anything — typically follows. And in some cases, if the female is cranky, she may eat him, said Paula Cushing, a biologist with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Q. When does the tarantula "migration" happen?
The mating season starts once the temperatures cool at night, which is typically around the start of September.
Some residents in the southeastern region of Colorado have posted on Facebook that the critters are already on the move.
This "migration" will continue through early October or whenever hard freezes begin, Padilla said.
Q. Where is this happening?
The tarantulas are all around the eastern plains, particularly the southeastern part of the state.
"Mini" tarantulas also live on the western side of the state in areas like Montezuma, Montrose, and San Miguel, according to Colorado State University's College of Cultural Sciences.
Tarantulas out by the thousands in southeast Colorado for mating season
Q. Can I see it for myself?
There are a few things to know beforehand for those who want to see the critters in action.
One of the best places to go to see the tarantulas is the Comanche National Grassland near La Junta and Springfield. The scrubby grassland, which is at a lower altitude compared to the Front Range, contains more than 400,000 acres for recreating, said Michelle Stevens, recreation program manager for the grassland.
She said drivers often see tarantulas crossing the road because they're easy to pick out on the pavement. She recommends driving on Highway 350 between La Junta and Trinidad or Highway 109 between La Junta and the town of Kim to see them. It's also not a bad idea to stop in a local restaurant and ask residents where they've seen them, she said.
Cushing said that any given evening would likely produce a dozen or so tarantulas in an undisturbed area.
Be prepared to head out around sunset and stay late into the evening.

Q. What kind of tarantulas live in Colorado?
When Scripps station KMGH in Denver published a feature story on the tarantula "migration" in 2018, many readers and viewers said that despite living in the state their whole lives, they had never heard of it before.
"Here in Colorado, we don't always think that we have habitat for tarantulas," Padilla said. "A lot of people think tarantulas are super exotic, like they live in South America or Africa or Asia or wherever. And they do live in those places. But we do have beautiful, western tarantulas that live here too."
All of the tarantulas that call Colorado home fall under the genus Aphonopelma, Padilla said. They're usually a "drab brown color" that helps them camouflage into their environment, he said. Their bodies, excluding their legs, are typically two to three inches long.
They're large, and that's why people typically reel when they see them, he said.
"Seeing a really big spider — they're bigger than any wolf spider," he said. "They're the largest spider in the state, for sure. So, seeing that spider is kind of like, 'Whoa!'"
The on-the-move tarantulas — the males — are longer, with a small abdomen and long, spindly legs to help them get around quickly. The females, on the other hand, don't need that kind of biological adaptation and are often larger.
Male tarantulas are sexually mature once they reach about 7 years old and can live for about a decade. Females can live well beyond that — up to 30 years.

Q. Can a tarantula hurt me?
Tarantulas are much more terrified of you than you are of them, Padilla said.
Despite common misconceptions, they're not aggressive animals and won't jump or attack a person.
Their first choice in the face of a larger-than-life human being? Flee.
It takes a lot of stress for a tarantula to try to bite a person, but it will happen under certain circumstances.
Those that find themselves in the unfortunate position of being bit can find a little peace of mind knowing that tarantula venom is not deadly to humans but may cause discomfort for a few days.
As with any wildlife, don't get too close and never harass or touch a wild tarantula.

Джеймс Воллес Блек (10 лютого, 1825 — 5 січня, 1896), професійно відомий як Дж. В. Блек () — один з ранніх американських фотографів. Його кар'єра відзначалася великою кількістю експериментів та інновацій.

Біографія
Блек народився 10 лютого 1825 року у містечку Франсестаун, штат Нью-Гемпшир, США

Спробувавши щастя працюючи художником у Бостоні, він спрямував свою зацікавленість на фотографію, розпочавши із праці полірувальника дагеротипних фотопластин. Незабаром його партнером став Джон Адамс Віпл, успішний бостонський фотограф та винахідник. Виконаний Блеком знімок аболіціоніста Джона Брауна у 1859 році — році організованого Брауном заколоту у містечку Гарперс Феррі — зараз знаходиться у Національній портретній галереї Смітсонівського інституту.

У березні 1860 року Блек виконав фотознімок поета Волта Вітмена, коли Вітмен відвідав Бостон, щоб переглянути друкарський набір свого видання «Листя Трави» () 1860 року. Фотостудія Блека на Вашингтон-стріт, 173, знаходилась менш ніж за квартал від видавничої фірми Thayer & Eldridge, яка, очевидно, замовила фотознімок для сприяння виданню 1860 року.

13 жовтня 1860 року, через два роки після того, як французький фотограф Надар провів свої перші експерименти під час польоту на повітряній кулі, Блек виконав перші успішні аерофотознімки на території Сполучених Штатів, у співпраці із штурманом Семюелом Арчером Кінгом — на Кінговій повітряній кулі Queen of the Air (), яка піднімалася вгору завдяки нагрітому повітрю. Він сфотографував Бостон із кулі на висоті 366 метрів (8 фотопластин скляних негативів; 25.5 х 17 см). З цього всього вийшов один знімок хорошої якості, якому фотограф і дав назву — «Бостон, яким його бачать Орел та Дика Гуска.» Це фото стало першим чітким аерознімком великого міста в історії людства.

Майже негайно техніка аерофотозйомки стане використовуватися Армією Федерації під час Громадянської війни у США.

Блек пізніше справив значний вплив на використання чарівних ліхтарів — проекторів, які працювали на світлі свічок і були попередниками сучасних слайд-проекторів. До кінця 1870-х бізнес Блека значною мірою базувався на виробництві слайдів для ліхтарів, серед яких були і його славнозвісні зображення Великої бостонської пожежі 1872 року, опубліковані у фотоальбомі під назвою «Руїни великої пожежі у Бостоні, листопад 1872 р.» ()

Джеймс Воллес Блек помер 5 січня 1896 року і був похований на кладовищі Mount Auburn у Кембриджі, штат Массачусетс.

NBC may not be King of the Nielsen Ratings just yet, but we know good television when we see it, and the Peacock has returned in full force with a dominating presence that includes the top three shows and five of the top six. HBO, on the other hand, is experiencing the opposite, with the departure of "The Sopranos," "Deadwood" and "Rome." Add to that the fact that our list features a whopping 10 new entries -- five of which are freshmen -- and you've got one heck of a Power Rankings shakeup. Much of this has to do with so many shows being on hiatus until next year (read below for more on the return of our favorites), but whatever the cause, it's nice to see some much-needed change to a usually familiar lineup.
Looking for more on your favorite shows from our list? We've included links to DVD reviews and series blogs below as well as several related interviews, including Melora Hardin (Jan Levinson) from "The Office" and Ray Wise (The Devil) from "Reaper." And don't miss the list of our favorite shows currently on hiatus and therefore ineligible for the Top-20, our farewell to "The Sopranos," and our stable of Honorable Mentions.

C of I remembers longtime faculty member Dr. Wallace "Wally" Lonergan
The College of Idaho sends its condolences to the friends and family of Professor Emeritus Wallace "Wally" G. Lonergan, a C of I graduate and later longtime member of the C of I's business faculty who passed away in Caldwell, Idaho from natural causes on Monday, Aug. 27, 2018 at the age of 90.
"Wally was a great inspiration for students and faculty alike," said current C of I Business and Accounting Chair Dr. Marilyn Melchiorre. "I frequently have alumni tell me about what a positive impact Wally had on their lives while they were students at the College."
Born in Potlatch, Idaho in 1928 — a small community of under 1,000 people just six miles east of the Washington border— Lonergan attended The College of Idaho during his undergraduate years, graduating in 1950 with a degree in political science. After a stint in the United States Army from 1950-53 to serve during the Korean War (reaching the rank of first lieutenant), Lonergan returned to academia to earn his MBA in 1955 and his Ph.D in 1960, both at the University of Chicago and both in human resources and industrial relations.
Lonergan remained at the University of Chicago as an instructor and later full professor following his graduation through 1985, where he also directed the Industrial Relations-Human Resources Research Center. During his time in Chicago, Lonergan served as a regular business consultant for private, public and volunteer organizations on a wide range of strategic planning and management development programs.
Lonergan spent some of his years abroad as a visiting professor at both Rikkyo University in Tokyo, Japan and a visiting fellow at Merton College at Oxford University before returning to his C of I roots in 1987, officially joining the business faculty as a professor of business management and economics.
Current C of I co-president Doug Brigham served on the search committee for Lonergan's position during his senior year at the College, recalling Lonergan as "a gentle giant."
"Almost immediately, I considered him a mentor and was fortunate enough to stay in touch over the years, watching his unwavering passion for both The College of Idaho and for the success of our students," Brigham recalled. "He will be missed."
Lonergan remained a member of the C of I business faculty for over a quarter of a century, where he helped to establish the C of I's leadership program and the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Caldwell program before retiring from teaching in 2013. When Melchiorre joined the faculty, her office was right next to Lonergan's, where she would often visit and share laughs between classes.
"Wally helped me significantly as a new faculty member in the Business and Accounting Department," Melchiorre said. "He had a wonderful, positive attitude and shared words of encouragement to assist me in navigating life as a new faculty member. He had so much knowledge about College of Idaho history, and I always enjoyed hearing his stories."
Beyond the C of I, Lonergan served the Caldwell community as a member of the Caldwell Rotary Club and priest at St. David's Episcopal Church. He co-founded the Caldwell Diaper Bank (now a satellite of the Idaho Diaper Bank) alongside his wife Luise Lonergan and Charles McHugh, distributing 20,000 diapers within the first 10 months of its operation starting from only $5,000 in initial grant funding.
Lonergan remained deeply involved with the C of I as an alumnus, serving as a member of the College's National Alumni Board and as president of the Half-Century Society. He received the College's Half Century Life Achievement Award in 2000 and the Alumni Service Award in 2013.
Funeral services will be under the direction of Dakan Funeral Chapel in Caldwell.
The College of Idaho has a 127-year-old legacy of excellence. The C of I is known for its outstanding academic programs, winning athletics tradition and history of producing successful graduates, including seven Rhodes Scholars, three governors, and countless business leaders and innovators. Its distinctive PEAK Curriculum challenges students to attain competency in the four knowledge peaks of humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and a professional field—empowering them to earn a major and three minors in four years. The College's close-knit, residential campus is located in Caldwell, where its proximity both to Boise and to the world-class outdoor activities of southwest Idaho's mountains and rivers offers unique opportunities for learning beyond the classroom.

But they were fascinated by Little's life, and what it really means to be a "legal" ollerton adult chat online worker in the United States. As millions of people get vaccinated every day, there have been innumerable conspiracy theories about the coronavirus vaccine itself.
After its transit through flirty and playful Gemini, Mars, which governs how we take action and go after our desires, is making its way over into emotional. Currently, prostitution is regulated in registered brothels in smaller counties in the state — meaning, cities like Las Vegas and Reno are excluded.
People wanted to know how Little got into this line of work and what she studied in school, and they wanted to get to know her more as vampirefreaks chat room person. For Earth Day, we're shining a light.

Have you visited the health care graveyard? It's where good intentions and innovations go to die, according to Bob Galvin, Chief Executive Officer for Equity Healthcare. He points out tombstones such as health maintenance organizations and comparative effectiveness.
Health care loves great new ideas but isn't known for executing them. "We don't as much like to do the painful operational work of going ready, aim, fire," says Galvin. "Where we are today so far is doing a lot of work, but I think we're missing the bullseye." Early evidence about savings from payment reform is weak, and clinician satisfaction is low.
So what can payers do? They can commit to simplicity, and stop the arms race toward arrangements they've made and practices they've penetrated. Galvin suggests the Six Sigma outside-in approach to customers or stakeholders: before payers go to a practice or system and talk about their payment reform scheme, they should ask what the organization is already doing, what reforms they've already implemented, and then retrofit the payer's scheme if it will fit — or simply not institute it if it won't.
"That is what we can hope for," says Galvin. He was involved in the quality measurement movement for a couple of decades and says they "made a mess out of it," wanting to start with a small number of measures and ending up with thousands. He doesn't want payment reform to make the same mistake.
The majority of payment reforms over the next 5 years will be fee-for-service based, and 5 years in health care equals is $15 or $20 trillion, according to Galvin.
"The fee see schedule that I talked about with those valuations is still at the basis of the advanced payment reforms." A group might get capitated, or get a bundled payment, but when it trickles down to individual clinicians it still uses those valuations.
"A system that uses that as its valuations is in trouble," says Galvin. So what can we do? Without going into the sausage-making of payment, Galvin explains briefly that the American Medical Association sponsors a committee called the RUC [Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee], which surveys doctors, reports its findings to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), and CMS takes its recommendations. Despite the fact that 23 minutes is still given for the removal of a mole when it only now takes 3 minutes, despite MedPAC recommending something more quantitative, and despite the Affordable Care Act including quantitative language, we haven't done anything to change it, says Galvin.
"Payers, please lead the effort, and we [the employers] will join you in trying to put resources into trying to rebalance these valuations," says Galvin.
Bob, this is really well said. We cannot allow this effort to proceed to the graveyard. By the time we realize our failure and start on another great idea, we will be at $3.5 - 3.7 T annual healthcare expenditure.
Thanks as always for practical ways to improve healthcare.

Below are two calibration images that have been sized to match the international standards for exhibition work and can be used for both monitors and projectors.
Each contains a square in the center of the image so that those using widescreen laptops can be sure that they have not got a distorted image on the projector screen or monitor.
Adjust your brightness and contrast so that you see every step of the grey scale that has 5% increments. In particular, you should be able to see the difference between the 0% and 5% whites and the 95% and 100% blacks. Once you have achieved that you will have your tonal range correct.
Now you can now adjust your colour settings so that no colour cast is shown on the image.

Golf Tournament Sponsorship Opportunities
Rafael "Trini" Trinidad, along with Officers of the San Antonio Law softball team, founded the Shields for Kids charity in 2016 from a desire to give back to the children in need in the community in which they serve.
SA Law is a nationally recognized men's competitive law enforcement softball team which was founded in 1988 by Officer Valentine (Val) Lopez Jr. Val was seriously wounded early in his career after being shot multiple times during a disturbance. The shield Val was wearing on his shirt saved him from one of the bullets that would have been a fatal wound. Val was able to return to full duty, and he continued to serve with distinction for many years until the contaminated lead in the other bullets that had penetrated his body, caused a rare blood disease that took his life in 2006. The shield that Val wore that day saved his life during that shooting and was the inspiration for utilizing the shield in the Shields for Kids logo design. Since Val's passing, Rafael (Trini) Trinidad has led the team and continues to instill the winning traditions founded by Val in the early years. Although SA Law recently won the 2016 Policesoftball.com World Series Gold Division title held in Las Vegas, NV, their success is more than just about winning softball games.
The officers of SA Law had a desire to do something together above and beyond what they do on the field so they decided to create a charity called Shields for Kids. Shields for Kids is 501(c)(3) non- profit organization made up officers from the San Antonio Police Department, Bexar County Sheriff's Office and surrounding law enforcement agencies. These officers, along with community volunteers, provide a wide variety of assistance to kids in need that they normally cannot give while "on duty". Our organization allows these officers, in their "off duty" status, the ability to provide assistance to underprivileged children, in the community in which they serve and protect. This includes hand delivering presents during the holidays, a teddy bear for a child at the children's shelter, gifts for sick children staying at the Ronald McDonald house or hosting outdoor activities for children with disabilities, all without the worries of the dangers involved with being "on duty" or "on a call."
The ultimate goal is for our officers and volunteers to interact with kids in need outside of their "on duty" status in a safe environment, so that they experience the feeling of warmth and compassion that the officers strive to communicate to children on a daily basis while reaffirming the positive role model that all police officers wish to provide our youth.
