Protecting wetlands helps communities reduce damage from hurricanes and storms
Protecting coastal wetlands, like this slough in Florida's Everglades National Park, is a cost-effective way to reduce flooding and storm damage.

2017 was the worst year on record for hurricane damage in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean from Harvey, Irma and Maria. We had hoped for a reprieve this year, but less than a month after Hurricane Florence devastated communities across the Carolinas, Hurricane Michael has struck Florida.
Coastlines are being developed rapidly and intensely in the United States and worldwide. The population of central and south Florida, for example, has grown by 6 million since 1990. Many of these cities and towns face the brunt of damage from hurricanes. In addition, rapid coastal development is destroying natural ecosystems like marshes, mangroves, oyster reefs and coral reefs – resources that help protect us from catastrophes.
In a unique partnership funded by Lloyd's of London, we worked with colleagues in academia, environmental organizations and the insurance industry to calculate the financial benefits that coastal wetlands provide by reducing storm surge damages from hurricanes. Our study, published in 2017, found that this function is enormously valuable to local communities. It offers new evidence that protecting natural ecosystems is an effective way to reduce risks from coastal storms and flooding.
Coastal wetlands and flood damage reduction: A collaboration between academia, conservation and the risk industry.
The economic value of flood protection from wetlands
Although there is broad understanding that wetlands can protect coastlines, researchers have not explicitly measured how and where these benefits translate into dollar values in terms of reduced risks to people and property. To answer this question, our group worked with experts who understand risk best: insurers and risk modelers.
Using the industry's storm surge models, we compared the flooding and property damages that occurred with wetlands present during Hurricane Sandy to the damages that would have occurred if these wetlands were lost. First we compared the extent and severity of flooding during Sandy to the flooding that would have happened in a scenario where all coastal wetlands were lost. Then, using high-resolution data on assets in the flooded locations, we measured the property damages for both simulations. The difference in damages – with wetlands and without – gave us an estimate of damages avoided due to the presence of these ecosystems.
Our paper shows that during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, coastal wetlands prevented more than US$625 million in direct property damages by buffering coasts against its storm surge. Across 12 coastal states from Maine to North Carolina, wetlands and marshes reduced damages by an average of 11 percent.
These benefits varied widely by location at the local and state level. In Maryland, wetlands reduced damages by 30 percent. In highly urban areas like New York and New Jersey, they provided hundreds of millions of dollars in flood protection.

Wetlands reduced damages in most locations, but not everywhere. In some parts of North Carolina and the Chesapeake Bay, wetlands redirected the surge in ways that protected properties directly behind them, but caused greater flooding to other properties, mainly in front of the marshes. Just as we would not build in front of a seawall or a levee, it is important to be aware of the impacts of building near wetlands.
Wetlands reduce flood losses from storms every year, not just during single catastrophic events. We examined the effects of marshes across 2,000 storms in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. These marshes reduced flood losses annually by an average of 16 percent, and up to 70 percent in some locations.
Reductions in annual flood losses to properties that have a marsh in front (blue) versus properties that have lost the marshes in front (orange).
In related research, our team has also shown that coastal ecosystems can be highly cost-effective for risk reduction and adaptation along the U.S. Gulf Coast, particularly as part of a portfolio of green (natural) and gray (engineered) solutions.
Reducing risk through conservation
Our research shows that we can measure the reduction in flood risks that coastal ecosystems provide. This is a central concern for the risk and insurance industry and for coastal managers. We have shown that these risk reduction benefits are significant, and that there is a strong case for conserving and protecting our coastal ecosystems.
The next step is to use these benefits to create incentives for wetland conservation and restoration. Homeowners and municipalities could receive reductions on insurance premiums for managing wetlands. Post-storm spending should include more support for this natural infrastructure. And new financial tools such as resilience bonds, which provide incentives for investing in measures that reduce risk, could support wetland restoration efforts too.
The dense vegetation and shallow waters within wetlands can slow the advance of storm surge and dissipate wave energy.
Improving long-term resilience
Increasingly, communities are also beginning to consider ways to improve long-term resilience as they assess their recovery options.
There is often a strong desire to return to the status quo after a disaster. More often than not, this means rebuilding seawalls and concrete barriers. But these structures are expensive, will need constant upgrades as as sea levels rise, and can damage coastal ecosystems.
Even after suffering years of damage, Florida's mangrove wetlands and coral reefs play crucial roles in protecting the state from hurricane surges and waves. And yet, over the last six decades urban development has eliminated half of Florida's historic mangrove habitat. Losses are still occurring across the state from the Keys to Tampa Bay and Miami.
Protecting and nurturing these natural first lines of defense could help Florida homeowners reduce property damage during future storms. In the past two years our team has worked with the private sector and government agencies to help translate these risk reduction benefits into action for rebuilding natural defenses.
Across the United States, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, coastal communities face a crucial question: Can they rebuild in ways that make them better prepared for the next storm, while also conserving the natural resources that make these locations so valuable? Our work shows that the answer is yes.

The Sydney Barrier Reef: engineering a natural defence against future storms
Rob Roggema, University of Technology Sydney
The risk of more severe storms and cyclones in the highly urbanised coastal areas of Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong might not be acute, but it is a real future threat with the further warming of the southern Pacific Ocean. One day a major storm – whether an East Coast Low or even a cyclone – could hit Sydney.
With higher ocean temperatures killing and bleaching coral along the Great Barrier Reef to the north, we could also imagine where the right temperatures for a coral reef would be in a warmer climate. Most probably, this would be closer to the limits of the low latitudes, hence in front of the Sydney metro area.
We should then consider whether it is possible to help engineer a natural defence against storms, a barrier reef, should warming oceans make conditions suitable here.
Ocean warming trend is clear
The oceans are clearly warming at an alarming rate, with the unprecedented extent and intensity of coral bleaching events a marker of rising temperatures. After the 2016-2017 summer, coral bleaching affected two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef.
On the other side of the Pacific, sea surface temperatures off Peru's northern coast have risen 5-6℃ degrees above normal. Beneath the ocean surface, the warming trend is consistent too.
The East Australian Current keeps the waters around Lord Howe Island warm enough to sustain Australia's southernmost coral reef. The waters off Sydney are just a degree or two cooler.
With the East Australian Current now extending further south, the warming of these south-eastern coastal waters might be enough in a couple of decades for Nemo to swim in reality under Sydney Harbour Bridge.
This shift in ocean temperatures is expected to drive strong storms and inland floods, according to meteorologists.
On top of this, when we plot a series of maps since 1997 of cyclone tracks across the Pacific, it shows a slight shift to more southern routes. These cyclones occur only in the Tasman Sea and way out from the coast, but, still, there is a tendency to move further south. The northern part of New Zealand recently experienced the impacts this could have.
Think big to prepare for a big storm
If we would like to prevent what Sandy did to New York, we need to think big.
If we don't want a storm surge entering Parramatta River, flooding the low-lying areas along the peninsulas, if we don't want flash-flooding events as result of river discharges, if we don't want our beaches to be washed away, if we want to keep our property along the water, and if we want to save lives, we'd better prepare to counter these potential events through anticipating their occurrence.
The coast is the first point where a storm impacts the city. Building higher and stronger dams have proven to be counterproductive. Once the dam breaks or overflows the damage is huge. Instead we should use the self-regenerating defensive powers nature offers us.
Thinking big, we could design a "Sydney Barrier Reef", which allows nature to regenerate and create a strong and valuable coast.
The first 30-40 kilometres of the Pacific plateau is shallow enough to establish an artificial reef. The foundations of this new Sydney Barrier Reef could consist of a series of concrete, iron or wooden structures, placed on the continental shelf, just beneath the water surface. Intelligently composed to allow the ocean to bring plants, fish and sand to attach to those structures, it would then start to grow as the base for new coral.
This idea has not been tested for the Sydney continental flat yet. But in other parts of the world experiments with artificial reefs seem promising. At various sites, ships, metro carriages and trains seem to be working as the basis for marine life to create a new underworld habitat
The Sydney Barrier Reef will have the following advantages:
Over decades a natural reef will grow. Coral will develop and a new ecosystem will emerge.
This reef will protect the coast and create new sandbanks, shallow areas and eventually barrier islands, as the Great Barrier Reef has done.
It will increase the beach area, because the conditions behind the reef will allow sediments to settle.
It creates new surfing conditions as a result of the sandbanks.
It will protect Sydney from the most severe storm surges as it breaks the surge.
It will present a new tourist attraction of international allure.
Let's create a pilot project as a test. Let's start to design and model the pilot to investigate what happens in this particular location. Let's simulate the increase of temperature over time and model the impact of a cyclone.
Let's create, so when Sandy hits Sydney, we will be better protected.

Election FactCheck: are larger, more frequent storms predicted due to climate change?
Kevin Walsh, University of Melbourne
Certainly larger and more frequent storms are one of the consequences that the climate models and climate scientists predict from global warming. But you cannot attribute any particular storm to global warming, so let's be quite clear about that. – Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, speaking to reporters in Tasmania on June 9, 2016.
In the aftermath of the deadly East Coast Low that swamped eastern Australia, dumping massive amounts of rain in early June, the prime minister toured flood-affected Launceston and announced emergency relief funding.
Turnbull told reporters that larger and more frequent storms were forecast by climate scientists but cautioned that no individual storm could be attributed to global warming.
Checking the source
The Conversation asked the prime minister's office for sources to support his statement but did not hear back before publication deadline. Nevertheless, we can test his statement against recent published and peer-reviewed research on this question.
The science shows that, just like real estate, climate change is all about location. Different parts of Australia will be affected in different ways by climate change.
And global warming will have different effects on different types of weather systems.
Let's break Turnbull's statement into two parts: is it true that we can expect larger and more frequent storms as a consequence of global warming? And is it possible to attribute a specific storm to global warming?
Can we expect larger and more frequent storms as a result of global warming?
Yes – but not for all regions or types of storms.
There are many types of storms that affect different parts of Australia, among them East Coast Lows, mid-latitude cyclones (a category that includes cyclones that happen in the latitudes between Australia and Antarctica), tropical cyclones, and associated extreme rainfall events. Each will be affected in a different way by climate change, and the effect will vary by region and by season.
On East Coast Lows: Acacia Pepler, who is studying extreme rainfall and East Coast Lows in relation to climate change, recently wrote in The Conversation that her research showed that:
… East Coast Lows are expected to become less frequent during the cool months May-October, which is when they currently happen most often. But there is no clear picture of what will happen during the warm season. Some models even suggest East Coast Lows may become more frequent in the warmer months. And increases are most likely for lows right next to the east coast – just the ones that have the biggest impacts where people live.
For all low-pressure systems near the coast, "most of the models we looked at had no significant change projected in the intensity of the most severe East Coast Low each year," Pepler wrote.
On mid-latitude cyclones: Another study predicted that the overall wind hazard from mid-latitude cyclones in Australia will decrease – except in winter over Tasmania.
On tropical cyclones: Northern Australia is expected to get fewer cyclones in future – but their maximum wind speeds are expected to become stronger.
On rainfall: Scientists tend to be quite confident that climate change will be accompanied by an increase in extreme rainfall for most storms in future. One of the main reasons for this is that increased temperatures will cause increased evaporation. While the total amount of water held in the atmosphere will also increase slightly in future, the total amount of rain has to go up too.
Is it true you can't attribute any particular storm to global warming?
Turnbull is correct. We cannot say for sure that a particular flooding rainfall event was solely "caused" by climate change, any more than we can say for certain that a particular car accident was solely caused by speeding (even if excessive speed was a likely or even major contributing factor).
Evidence for the effects of global warming on extreme rainfall events that have already occurred is currently equivocal for most regions.
According to a collection of studies published in 2015:
A number of this year's studies indicate that human-caused climate change greatly increased the likelihood and intensity for extreme heat waves in 2014 over various regions. For other types of extreme events, such as droughts, heavy rains, and winter storms, a climate change influence was found in some instances and not in others.
One recent study in that report found:
evidence for a human-induced increase in extreme winter rainfall in the United Kingdom.
Malcolm Turnbull was essentially correct on both points.
It's true that scientists predict more frequent and intense storms for some parts of Australia as the climate changes. The evidence appears to be strong that extreme rainfall will increase. Some increases in extreme wind speeds are possible – but not in all regions or all seasons.
Turnbull was right to say you cannot attribute any particular storm to global warming. –Kevin Walsh
This is a good FactCheck that summarises the broad conclusions from a range of studies examining the nature of current and likely future storms across Australia.
As the author points out, Australian storms range from tropical cyclones in the northern tropical regions to temperate east coast lows and mid-latitude cyclones.
The consensus regarding tropical cyclones is that they will generally decrease in frequency in the Australian region. In northeast Australia, they are forecast to experience the most dramatic decrease in frequency of any ocean basin globally. Some northern hemisphere ocean basins will see an increase in their frequency.
The intensity of these types of storms is expected to increase. This will not only involve higher wind speeds but also higher storm surges and floods. That will mean greater coastal impacts and damage to coastal developments and infrastructure.
So the prime minister's statement about more frequent storms resulting from climate change does not apply to tropical cyclones – however, he was right to say that larger and more frequent storms are one of the predicted consequences of climate change. This consequence is predicted to apply to other storm categories, but not tropical cyclones.
And yes, climate scientists are hesitant to attribute the occurrence of any single storm to global warming. – Jonathan Nott
Have you ever seen a "fact" worth checking? The Conversation's FactCheck asks academic experts to test claims and see how true they are. We then ask a second academic to review an anonymous copy of the article. You can request a check at checkit@theconversation.edu.au. Please include the statement you would like us to check, the date it was made, and a link if possible.

The role of climate change in eastern Australia's wild storms
Acacia Pepler, UNSW Australia
Australia's east coast is recovering from a weekend of wild winds, waves and flooding, caused by a weather pattern known as an East Coast Low. Tragically, several people have died in flooding.
Parts of New South Wales have received more than 400mm of rain since Friday morning. Some places such as Canberra and Forster recorded their wettest June day on record. Waves have also caused severe coastal erosion and damaged property.
East Coast Lows are a type of low-pressure system or cyclone that occur on the Australian east coast. They are not uncommon, with about seven to eight lows a year causing widespread rainfall along the east coast, particularly during late autumn and winter. An East Coast Low in April last year caused similar damage.
But whenever they happen they raise the question: did climate change play a role?
Climate models suggest that the cyclones that move through the global mid-latitudes, around 30° to 50°S, are moving south. This is contributing to long-term declines in winter rainfall in southwestern Australia and parts of southeast Australia.
These models also suggest that the atmospheric conditions that help East Coast Lows form could decline by between 25% and 40% by the end of the century.
In recent work, my colleagues and I looked even more closely at how climate change will affect individual East Coast Lows.
Our results also found East Coast Lows are expected to become less frequent during the cool months May-October, which is when they currently happen most often.
But there is no clear picture of what will happen during the warm season. Some models even suggest East Coast Lows may become more frequent in the warmer months.
And increases are most likely for lows right next to the east coast – just the ones that have the biggest impacts where people live.
This chart shows how the frequency of East Coast Lows could change by 2080 across May-October (left) and November-April (right). Red indicates fewer storms, while blue indicates more. Crosses show high agreement between climate models.
What about the big ones?
The results in the studies I talked about above are for all low-pressure systems near the coast – about 22 per year, on average.
But it's the really severe ones that people want to know about, like the current event, or the storm that grounded tanker Pasha Bulker in Newcastle in June 2007.
These storms are much rarer, which makes it harder to figure out what will happen in the future. Most of the models we looked at had no significant change projected in the intensity of the most severe East Coast Low each year.
Warming oceans provide more moisture, so intense rainfall is expected to increase by about 7% for each degree of global warming. East Coast Lows are no different – even during the winter, when East Coast Lows are expected to become less frequent, the frequency of East Coast Lows with heavy rain is likely to increase.
Finally, even though there may be fewer East Coast Lows, they are occurring in an environment with higher sea levels. This means that many more properties are vulnerable to storm surges and the impact of a given storm surge is that much worse.
Was it climate change?
While the frequency of cool-season East Coast Lows looks likely to decrease in the future, changes in the big ones are a lot less certain.
However, East Coast Lows are very variable in frequency and hard to predict. So far, there hasn't been any clear trend in the last 50 years, although East Coast Lows may have been more frequent in the past.
As for extreme rainfall, studies have found little influence of climate change on Australian extreme rainfall so far. Climate variability, such as El Niño, currently plays a much larger role. This doesn't mean climate change is having no effect; it just means it's hard to tell what impact a warming world is having at this stage.
So did climate change cause this weekend's storms? No: these events, including intense ones, often occur at this time of year.
But it is harder to rule out climate change having any influence at all. For instance, what is the impact of higher sea levels on storm surges? And how much have record-warm sea temperatures contributed to rainfall and storm intensity?
We know that these factors will become more important as the climate system warms further – so as the clean-up begins, we should keep an eye on the future.

Why warmer storms could lead to more flooding than expected
Conrad Wasko, UNSW Australia and Ashish Sharma, UNSW Australia
As the climate changes, we can expect more frequent and more extreme weather events, which will put pressure on our current infrastructure. It has been suggested that increasing temperatures will intensify rainfall, indicating that we are likely to endure bigger storms and more dangerous flooding in a future warmer climate.
Our study, published today in the journal Nature Geoscience, shows that this intensification in flooding may be even greater than expected. This is because of changes to the distribution of rainfall within storms – something known as the "temporal pattern".
This study is the first to show that temperature changes are disrupting temporal rainfall patterns within storms themselves. When it comes to flash flooding, this is just as important, if not more so, than the total volume of rainfall that a given storm delivers.
If this trend continues with future climate warming, more destructive flooding across Australia's major urban centres is likely. Because our findings were true across every Australian climate zone, ranging from tropical and arid to temperate, we can expect similar risks throughout the country, and conceivably elsewhere in the world too.
Whether it is in politics, science or engineering, the past can be a good indicator of the future. Historical records of rainfall have long been examined for patterns to help us make sense of how the climate might change in the future.
By linking existing observations of rainfall intensity and temperature it has been found, in general, that we can expect more rainfall when temperatures are higher. This observation is founded in thermodynamics and underwritten by the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship, which states that for each degree Centigrade increase in temperature, 7% more moisture will accumulate in the atmosphere. It is not a large step to surmise from this that rainfall volumes will be 7% greater.
However, historical observations do not necessarily confirm this rate of increase – at least, not in a uniform way. Some places have experienced rainfall increases of more than 7%, while others have seen less than 7%.
This discrepancy is important. It suggests that changes in overall storm intensity are not the only change in rainfall a warmer climate may bring. There are other, more subtle disruptions we need to look for.
More flooding ahead?
Kate Wall/Newzulu/AAP Image
Finding the unexpected
In our study, we used historical data from 79 different locations around Australia, collected by the Bureau of Meteorology. This includes sites at each of the major capital cities, as well as regional areas in all states and territories. At each location we isolated storm events and then split each storm event into five segments, to determine the percentage of rain that fell in each. So, for example, a one-hour storm would be divided into five 12-minute segments.
By comparing the amounts of rainfall in each of these fractions to the average daily temperature at that location, we were able to check if there was any systematic relationship between the rainfall fractions within the storm and the ambient temperature.
Our results were unexpected. At every location, we saw that higher temperatures were linked to an increase in the largest fraction and a corresponding decrease in the smallest fraction. In other words, the storm pattern was less uniform and more erratic when the temperature was higher. Moreover, we found that these changes would increase flood peaks even if the storm volume remained unchanged, because more of the rainfall was concentrated into intense bursts.
Factor in the changes in overall storm volumes, which are also likely to increase with warming, and this is a recipe for more flood danger in areas including Australia's urban centres.
Informing flood guidelines
So why is this important? Engineers Australia is in the process of rewriting the Australian Rainfall and Runoff guidelines, which dictate how we estimate potential flooding when designing infrastructure. Every structure, whether it be a roadside gutter, a bridge, or an office block, is built to withstand a flood of a given size and risk of occurrence. But if rainfall is changing, we need to plan for how we will design and build these structures to withstand the possibility of more destructive floods.
We need to make sure our infrastructure can handle the strain.
AAP Image/David Moir
Although history doesn't necessarily have to repeat itself, the increase in non-uniformity linked to higher temperatures suggests that if temperatures increase we may see more increases in the destructive force of floods in the future. Planners need to consider whether the existing infrastructure that we take for granted every day needs added fortification to withstand the impacts of climate change.

Solicitor or Conveyancer – what's the difference and which do I choose?
Prospective clients often ask what's the difference between a Solicitor and a Licensed Conveyancer? In NSW conveyancing was traditionally undertaken by Solicitors and the cost of such work was charged according to a pre-determined scale based on a percentage of the value of the property. In 1992 legislation was passed which enabled conveyancing work to be also undertaken by Licensed Conveyancers. The introduction of Licensed Conveyancers has seen that the cost of conveyancing services reduce

Kelly Marie Tran stars as Rose Tico in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and she is the first woman of color to play a lead role in the billion-dollar Star Wars franchise. Although the fan base for the storied film series is global and spans many generations, that hasn't shielded her from the type of harassment you find all over the social media sphere. It was reported yesterday that Tran had to avoid further abuse from people online, especially on Instagram, by wiping her social accounts.
Although we have made recent strides in diversity and inclusion in Hollywood, there is still a lack of empathy for people of color in these major lead roles that were once dominated by caucasian actors and actresses. We have seen this type of abuse in comment sections across many platforms, and for all types of celebrities, but it's still sad to see it go this far and we wish nothing but success for Tran in her continued acting career.

Tin Toys by Ursula Holden
December 15, 2012 By Fleur in her World in Book Reports, Reading the 20th Century Tags: Ursula Holden Leave a comment
When I began reading Virago Modern Classics, when I was still at school and regularly spotting green spines in the library, every book was a step into the unknown. new titles, new authors, and I knew that they were worthy of investigation because they came with those distinctive covers that I knew were a sign of quality.
But now things have changed. The green covers have gone and now I recognise many of the names and titles added to the Virago list.
Some of that is down to me: I've more reading years behind me, I've found so many more places to find out about books, and I've learned to always look closely at old books with unfamiliar titles written by unknown authors.
But Virago Modern Classics have changed too. As the numbers have increased the choices have become a little safer, the books a little less 'lost' than the books that came earlier in the list. They were still fine books by interesting authors, but the thrill of a new discovery seemed to be a thing of the past.
Until I saw that The Tin Toys Trilogy by Ursula Holden would be added to the list in 2013. I knew neither the author nor the book, but I was intrigued. And I was impatient, so I tracked down a copy of Tin Toys, the first book of the trilogy.
I discovered that Ursula Holden already had a Virago connection: she wrote introductions to four of Virago's Barbara Comyns reissues. I pulled them out to look at last night and I have to say that they are very good; and that she clearly admired her subject and knew her work well.
And now I find that Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead is at the head of my queue of books to read ….
But back to Ursula Holden and Tin Toys. It's a sinister tale, lightened by a wonderful young voice and a very small pinch of fairy dust.
That voice belongs to seven year-old Ula, whose father has died, whose mother has flown, whose sisters have their own world in the school room, whose baby brother is cossetted in the nursery. Ula does not belong in any of their worlds.
And so she is a child alone, growing up in a divided in a divided and dysfunctional household.
It is hardly surprising that Ula is a strange and solitary child.That wasn't what she wanted, but she didn't know what to do, what to say, what to be. And so often she gets it wrong.
When tragedy struck, that dysfunctional household fell apart. Ula was thrown into another household. And then another. Such different households, such different worlds, but Ula could never quite work them out. She kept on trying to make a place for herself, and she kept on getting it wrong.
But it wasn't all Ula's fault. Both children and adults can be so terribly unkind to somebody who doesn't quite fit in.
Would Ula ever get it right? Would she ever find a true friend? Would she ever find a grown-up who understood?
Her story rattled along, holding a wonderfully dark atmosphere, holding the childish perspective perfectly. And there is much colour, character and incident to hold the attention.
Sometimes characters seemed to shift suddenly, but I understood that was the childish perception, that there were complex adult relationships and emotions that I could wonder about while Ula was oblivious.
And along the way Ursula Holden made me think of a number of other Virago authors: Molly Keane, Maura Laverty, Ivy Compton-Burnett, and the aforementioned Barbara Comyns. I can't help thinking of them all as literary cousins.
A distinguished company, and though I haven't read enough yet to draw any real conclusions I am inclined to think that Ursula Holden belongs there.
She has a distinctive voice and a distinctive style, and she pulled me right in, to see the world though Ula's eyes.
I'm so pleased there are two sequels, and I am looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Hospitals Hit by Bond Yields Giving Investors Instant Profits
By Michael Quint
Municipal bond underwriters are penalizing taxpayers by setting yields so high that investors are assured quick profits, according to Ziegler Cos., a broker hiring bankers from Wall Street's biggest firms.
"Investors rush to buy the cheap securities, and many flip them the next day for a quick profit," said Chicago-based Ziegler, which specializes in tax-exempt issues sold by hospitals and nursing homes, in a letter to clients July 27.
Prices of 28 health-care issues sold in the first half of the year rose enough immediately after underwriters set prices that yields fell on average 0.11 percentage point, the Ziegler letter said. The extra interest would cost a borrower $110,000 of interest annually per $100 million of bonds.
The bankers are warning issuers about unnecessarily high rates as federal and state regulators investigate the municipal bond market following losses from derivatives, auction-rate bonds and other securities that local officials didn't fully understand.
"Flipping" bonds to generate quick profits is part of "an unhealthy relationship between dealers and institutional investors," said Christopher "Kit" Taylor, a former director of the Washington-based Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the self-regulatory organization that polices underwriters, traders and salesmen in the market for state and local bonds, where $2.72 trillion of securities are outstanding.
Setting prices low enough so investor demand exceeds debt available allows bankers to select buyers who "then dribble it out through the same dealer at higher prices," Taylor said. Individual investors get the bonds after prices rise again.
Monitor Bank
Ziegler tells issuers that they can reduce interest costs by monitoring bankers more closely and attracting additional investors to their debt. David Johnson, a senior managing director and a former employee at Citigroup Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co., described the letter as "self-serving," intended to highlight his firm's approach. He wrote it with Kerry Rudy, another managing director, who previously worked at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Issuers negotiating bond sales need to be aggressive, "otherwise, the million-dollar bonus banker on the other side of the table will likely serve his firm's interests first," said Joseph Fichera, the chief executive officer of Saber Partners LLC, which advises corporations and governments and who provides independent analysis for Bloomberg News.
Regulator scrutiny of the municipal market led to payments by banks, including Citigroup, Bank of America Corp. and its Merrill Lynch & Co. unit, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs, of $572.5 million in penalties for improperly selling auction-rate bonds to investors. The settlements with 13 states occurred last year after the $330 billion market collapsed when banks stopped buying the bonds, causing borrowers to pay penalty rates as high as 20 percent.
Probing Underwriters
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees 4,900 securities brokers, said in June it was conducting "sweeps" to gather information on firms that underwrite securities tied to derivatives for small municipalities known as interest-rate swaps. Derivatives are contracts whose value is derived from assets including stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities, or from events such as interest-rate changes.
The U.S. Justice Department and at least two states are looking into allegations that banks and advisers rigged bids or fixed prices on financial contracts, according to regulatory filings by banks. The probes have focused on contracts to invest bond-sale proceeds, known as guaranteed investment contracts, and interest-rate swaps tied to bonds.
Banking Oligopoly
Five banks — Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs — handled 82 percent of health-care bond sales this year, and have shown "quasi oligopoly-style behavior," Johnson said. The number of underwriters was reduced by the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in the world's biggest bankruptcy in September and the takeovers of Bear Stearns Cos. and Merrill Lynch.
Spokespeople for the banks declined to comment. All are located in New York, except Bank of America, which is based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Ziegler letter didn't identify issuers "because we don't want to embarrass" potential clients, Johnson said.
Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, sold $293 million of 8.25 percent bonds due 2039 on Jan. 15 through Morgan Stanley at an initial price of 95.709 cents on the dollar to yield 8.65 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The next day, they were sold to individual investors at prices of 98.7 cents and 100.28 cents, with trades of $1 million or more between securities firms as high as 98.31 cents to yield 8.4 percent.
Mispriced Issues
Dennis Herrick, Beaumont's chief financial officer didn't return calls seeking comment. Jennifer Sala, a spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley, declined to comment.
Hospitals aren't the only municipal institutions whose issues are mispriced, Johnson said, pointing to Build America Bonds, whose interest cost is 35 percent subsidized by the federal government.
The New York-based Metropolitan Transportation Authority sold Build America Bonds that rose 3 cents on the dollar when trading began April 23, while benchmark Treasury issues were little changed. The MTA debt was among the 25 largest issues of sold, with yields averaging 0.96 percentage point more than similarly rated corporate bonds, Bloomberg data show.
"Taxpayers are taking it on the chin," said G. Joseph McLiney, president of Kansas City, Missouri-based McLiney & Co., a firm that specializes in selling municipal bonds that qualify for federal tax credits. "There should be no spread."
Flipping occurs because "capital is tight," Johnson said. After credit markets froze in 2007 and 2008, "the big firms aren't willing to use their balance sheets to support issues in the way they had in the past," he said.
Holding New Bonds
To avoid the risk of holding new bonds beyond the day of issue, banks set yields high enough to sell all the securities to institutions, even though more effort would uncover buyers willing to accept lower yields, he said.
Johnson recommends issuers develop their own relationships with investors by holding regular meetings with bondholders. Borrowers should also include shorter-maturity bonds favored by individuals and other smaller buyers who accept lower yields than the 50 largest institutions.
"Bond placement is not rocket science," and issuers can get better results from their underwriters and advisers if they are willing "to challenge entrenched behaviors," Ziegler's letter said.
Bank trust departments, managers of wrap accounts at brokerage firms and other money managers who buy bonds on behalf of individuals should be eligible to place orders during retail sales periods, Johnson said.
Issuers should require underwriter payment according to how many bonds they sell, not the common practice where they agree beforehand how much each firm will collect, regardless of how much debt they sell, Johnson said.
"Creating pay for performance between underwriters creates more competition and lower costs," Fichera of Saber said.
After bonds are sold, issuers should monitor trading for at least a week, the Ziegler officials said, to evaluate whether any price gains are the result of market conditions or too low a price set by underwriters.
"I never paid any attention to secondary market trading when at Citibank," Johnson said. "I should have."
If issuers tell bankers they want a list of all secondary market trading the week after sale, the underwriters "probably will do a little better," Johnson said. "If they don't think anybody is watching they won't feel that pressure to perform."

Did you see the Advanced Labcold Refrigerator on BBC news last night?
The fridge was shown as part of a BBC news report on a new drug for Huntingdon's at University College Hospital London that is producing good results.
The drug it is being kept in one of our Advanced Pharmacy refrigerators which is designed to store a large amount of product safely and securely. It was great to see our fridge in situ and not just having a supporting role.
Big thanks to Andrew and Fiona for the images.

If you decide to do only one hike in the Black Hills area, then the Sunday Gulch Trail is the one that you'll want to do. It is an absolutely stunning hike and it will give you a full overview of what makes the Black Hills so beautiful.
The trail begins on the edge of Sylvan Lake (beautiful!) and will waste no time at all at impressing the unsuspecting visitor. (Note must be taken that Sylvan Lake is part of Custer State Park, and a visitor pass must be purchased at the entrance.) After a short meander through a level boulder strewed trail, the hiker approaches the downhill boulder-waterfall-oh-my-god-this-is-so-beautiful part of their journey. Hold on to the handrails, for it can get a little hairy at places. Hike down the boulders and stop every few feet to admire the mini waterfalls that are created as water from Sylvan Lake rushes over the rocks. Also along this hike are little moss covered grottoes that together with the waterfalls create a mini paradise. Very nice.
After the boulder trail, the hiker will enter a typical Black Hills forest of ponderosa pine, birch, aspen, and spruce. Wildflowers abound along the trail (even in the heat of July). Continue along the forest trail (counter-clockwise) and admire the creek that you will criss-cross on several occasions. Again, you will encounter little waterfalls along the way. Again, very nice.
Mid way through the hike, you will see a campground to your right. Do not take the fork to the campground, but continue on your left. You will notice blue diamonds with arrows marking the correct way of the trail. Whenever in doubt, always look for the blue diamonds, for they are placed throughout the trail, making it near impossible to get lost.
The trail continues uphill via switchbacks, giving the hiker opportune views of the gulch and many photo-ops. The trail levels out at a prairie meadow, again flooded with wildflowers (including mariposas!). The trail routes back towards the granite peaks, again offering yet more photo ops and more views. Very, very nice.
By now, the hiker will hear the sounds of vehicles on the roadway. Namely, the hiker will hear the roar of Harley's winding the roads because this is the Black Hills and the pilgrimage town of Sturgis is not that far away. The trail at this point rather parallels the road but never actually gets too close to it and is actually quite easy to ignore.
The trail is near its end after descending the final granite peak view point and soon you will encounter some out buildings related to Sylvan Lake Resort. Again, keep your eyes open for the blue diamonds and follow a brief paved road which empties out at the opposite end of Sylvan Lake from where you started. Take the a moment to admire the lake and decide if you want to stick around and spend the rest of the afternoon fishing or piddling around in a paddle boat. Or go for that hike again. Or go see Mt Rushmore. Or have a beer in Deadwood. Or go look for buffalo in Custer Park since you have already bought the pass. So many choices!
The trailhead is accessed from Sylvan Lake, which is a few hundred yards from the intersection of highways 87 and 89. Nearby highways include 385 and 16A, and the closest towns are Custer, Hill City, and Keystone. There is a park entry station near the highway junction, and just beyond the station is Sylvan Lake, with a tourist store and cafe. A large parking lot is in front, which is often full in the summer. Hikers often park just across the lake in the larger parking lot that is used by hikers going up Harney Peak from Trail 9 or Trail 4.

Oh, Jesus. Ella went down the same way, in about two days. The morning of the election, we could no longer keep her comfortable. I stay with her body that suddenly seemed glossier after the pain and she left it. I stayed with her and wept while Frank elected to go. I smelled her and stroked her beautiful black fur and wept some more.
I flew to SF the next morning, barely awake, barely aware that Hillary Clinton had lost. When Julie picked me up at the airport, she wept in my arms for several minutes, sobbing and sobbing and asking for reassurance that we wouldn't become a hateful dystopia under Trump.
I had no tears to share, they were given to a far worthier being, one black girl who died while Obama was still president.

I love Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, but I believe the game could be made better with a hack that:
- Makes the Sea of Death stage shorter.
- Removes the last level. The game is long enough with 6 stages. The last one is just a boring battle with multiple Red Arremers and a final boss that is just the previous level final boss but recolored.
If somebody wants to play the original game with the same patch, there could be the option of playing the game with the normal mode and the new shorter mode at the title screen.
Somewhat surprised after so many years it hasn't been done yet, but a re-localization of Persona Eternal Punishment would be most welcome, and some other required changes. It is for the purpose so it can match with the remake of Persona 2 Innocent Sin.

A speed-up / slow-down removal patch for Thunder Spirits, similar to that one for Gradius III that was recently developed

Hello everyone, I have a question. I want to know if you have a patch for Final Fantasy VII from the psx that lets with dash auto, I know it may seem a bit lazy, but it's pretty annoying after a while, having to be holding "X" forever. All other games came with this option, and the GBA remake as well. And if this patch does not exist, could someone with experience do it? in fact it's a simpes thing ... Thank you!

Heeello, I was wondering if a patch for Lord of the Rings Conquest for the DS exist that switches the camera to more of a 3rd Person View rather then top down. I'm asking because in the back of the box, that I have here, shows the game being played in like a 3rd person view.

Wonder Boy III: Monster's Lair (either Mega Drive or PC-Engine or better yet both!) - eliminated auto-scrolling screen and enable special weapons to last until you get another rather than last only a finite amount of time. This would make it feel more like a run n' gun game such as Contra rather than some auto-scroll arcade game. Also, choice to be either Leo or Princess Purapril from the start (or better yet, both simultaneously.)
Bikkurai Man (PC-Engine) - re-skin to restore it to the original Wonderboy in Monster Land (AKA Super Wonder Boy: Super Monster World)
Saiyukki World (Famicom) - same as above
Dragon's Curse / Adventure Island (Turbo Grafx / PC-Engine) - reskin to restore it to Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap (AKA Monster World II: Dragon No Wana)
Dynastic Hero (PC-Engine) - re-skin to restore to Wonderboy in Monster World (AKA Wonder Boy V: Monster World III)
Castlevania: Dracula X (AKA Akumajo Dracula XX) - either attempt to make it much more like the PC-Engine game as it was unfortunately inaccurately promoted to be a port of or just make it a more interesting pseudo-sequel. Level design and (most) of the backgrounds are so bland and uninspired and most of the difficulty is just from cheap cliffs conveniently behind you from enemy blow back, enemy spamming or both. (Then there is the horrendous entire level and a half you must keep the key without dying just to not get the bad ending.) Also, restore Maria, if possible and maybe add Annette as playable too.
Castlevania (NES) - adapt into Vampire Killer for the MSX2 (keep scrolling screen)
Super Mario All-Stars (SNES) - boot straight to Super Mario Bros. 2 which will be re-skinned to restore it to Doki Doki Panic (Famicom Disk System).
Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth (WiiWare) - hack to become either Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge and/or Castlevania Legends. Preferably the later as it could have used the Rebirth treatment, one of the worst CV's IMO.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (GCN) - hack to make it into a WiiWare style Rebirth of the classic Konami TMNT era.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) - I don't really know what would be the best game to use as a base, but I'd love to see a TMNT game based on the Turtles in Space and Search for Splinter story arcs from the 2003 cartoon (in turn based on TMNT #4-7 of the original 1984 comics). All the Shredder and Foot stuff get all the love but this would be great stuff IMO. Maybe a multiplayer beat em up like Turtles in Time would be better, but i always liked the search and find aspects of this game and it needs polished from its many glitches. Instead of just the 4 turtles, there could be patches to plays as Casey Jones, Fugitoid, Usage Yojimbo, Zog the Triceraton and perhaps Leatherhead too. A few fights from TMNT: Tournament Fighter could stand in for the Triceraton Games if possible.

If it is a 3d game then possibly. The camera angle is determined in hardware and you can force it to be other things -- some people quite notably once attempted a first person pokemon hack. Granted said hack is a bit more radical than tweaking the angle a bit but it faced several problems with regards to draw distance, bounds and such, some of which might well apply here too.
http://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#ds3dvideo
If you can find where the camera angle is handled in this then you might well be able to tickle it with a cheat even, no full bore hacks or anything.

If the 3rd person view was in the game originally it might be restored with the draw distance etc. intact, but they likely removed it because of framerate issues. An emulator might be able to overclock to improve the framerate, but it would likely be slow on the original hardware.

I don't think so. Why would you want this to be transformed back into a non-Mario game? The Japanese FDS SMB2 (The Lost Levels) doesn't deserve to be an SMB2 because it's way too similar to the original SMB. That may be the actual reason why it wasn't originally released with the SMB2 title in the West.
But if someone does decide to do that request, good for you!
« Last Edit: May 20, 2019, 05:44:26 pm by RetroGameFan »
Your sarcasm aside, I actually worked on a hack of the NES SMB2 to do just that with another person about 10 years ago. We didn't get too far, just swapped the spirtes and stopped Luigi/Mama's legs from kicking. The point is to give the enhancements from the NES and especially SNES adaptations to the FDS original, b/c there are others who do appreciate the original game. Besides, nothing is being transformed, it does nothing to the original SMB2 from All-Stars it will always be there. There are quite a few hacks that did this, though like ours they are incomplete, so obviously the interest is there. Thanks for your comments, I guess.

Hack idea: Make a hack of NES Castlevania 2 with Ghost Rider? I just need to add the other Blackheart sprite. Credit to Wikipedia for the pic of Ghostrider that I edited to make the title screen:
Tecmo Super Bowl for SNES, but edited to use the teams and stats of its original NES release.
A Harder Mode for Final Fantasy 1 & 2 Anniversary Editions on PSP, the games have balance issues and the Bonus Dungeon difficulties don't exactly match up perfectly and especially the normal enemies which are significantly weaker than the bosses in those dungeons.
If possible it would be nice to a hack address that longstanding problem, so those games can be more definitive rather than being piss-poor easy (especially on normal mode).
Has there ever been a hack for Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga that adds in the quality of life additions from the Japanese version (heal blocks, coffee checklist, etc.)? Or maybe even put in the English script into the Japanese version?
I'm sorry I misjudged your first post. Other than that, OK, I suppose that will do.
Forgive me if my comments offended you, I didn't mean to do so. I'm just a novice when it comes to programming, especially hacking video games, so I don't understand much of the terminology associated with that.
Quote from: PRG on May 21, 2019, 06:07:44 am
The article I read suggests that the US demo (aka Kiosk or NFR) version contains those.
I haven't looked at how exactly that version was limited compared to the retail version, but maybe a hack of that might be easier?

How Will the Sydney Anglican Diocese Make Up for the $1 Million of Charitable Funds It Squandered Opposing #MarriageEquality?

Australia Marriage Debate
Archbishop Glen Davies of the Sydney, Australia, Diocese of the Anglican Church authorized use of $1 million in church offerings to campaign against same-sex marriage.
For the past several months, the nation of Australia has been locked in a bitter debate about whether or not to support same-sex marriage. The conservative government gambled by holding a mail-in, non-binding plebiscite vote, which was supposed to favor elderly, more conservative voters who actually still use snail mail. Unfortunately for the conservatives, through a highly organized campaign, the Yes voters were able to get support from 61.6% of the voters, which is pretty well a crushing landslide, statistically speaking. The majority favored Yes in every Australian province.
In the midst of the campaign, the Anglican diocese of Sydney donated $1 million from its social justice coffers to the No campaign. Archbishop Glenn Davies publicly announced the donation and defended it, saying that opposing marriage equality is a "social justice issue." In other words, they spent money that is normally earmarked to support refugees, the poor, and other vulnerable people groups on television advertisements and flyers that sought to stir up fear against a queer "agenda." I'd like to know how the diocesan end-of-year fundraising letter is going to explain this wasteful and evangelistically disastrous expenditure. How many "widow's mites" that were tossed into the offering plate on Sundays to support marginalized people were snatched away to create anti-queer propaganda?
According to Australian Anglican priest Andrew Sempell, the decision about the donation was made without input from clergy and laity in the diocese apart from a small, secretive committee. The audacity of spending funds raised for social justice and charity on political propaganda is pretty astounding to me. It's incredibly unethical regardless of what the political propaganda was for. Few conservative evangelical Christians in the United States would tolerate this kind of duplicity.
So what will Sydney Archbishop Glenn Davies do now with the egg dripping from his face? Will he resign? Will he take money out of his salary to restore a portion of the money he took away from refugees and poor people? Will each of the members of his secret anti-gay committee contribute $100k out of their personal resources so that the Anglican diocese can continue to do its social justice work?
We are living in a season of global apocalypse by which Christian hypocrisy is being furiously exposed. I don't think it's an accident that God has unveiled the pedophilia of the anti-gay fundamentalist American ex-judge Roy Moore at the same time that anti-queer propaganda in Australia has exploited the fear of pedophilia to get people to vote against their neighbors. If one thing is clear, it's that Christianity's traditional sexual ethics have failed to protect people from sexual violence. They will continue to fail as long as they are concerned with traditionalism for traditionalism's sake rather than a holistic consideration of humanity for humanity's sake.
To believe that marriage equality is a sin means that you believe patriarchal gender complementarity is the means by which social stability is maintained. Insofar as the patriarchy expressed in Leviticus 18 has an underlying ethos, that's what it is. Its wording makes it clear that it presumes a male audience because only men have sexual agency under patriarchy. If you believe that, so be it. Just make sure you own it and don't try to play bait and switch games about it. Patriarchy is the presumed context for social relations in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. But Christian theology has provided different seeds that have taken a bitterly long twenty centuries to grow beyond the presumptions of biblical patriarchy.
The social movements that evolved into what we now call secularism have been a major part of the means by which God has saved the world from Christians.
The past two centuries in my country have been a long, ruthless game of trench warfare between progressive and conservative Christians that started with the basically humanist abolitionist movement taking on the Bible chapter-and-verse-quoting slave-owners. The sides are the same today though the trenches have moved a few hundred yards from where they were. The social movements that evolved into what we now call secularism have been a major part of the means by which God has saved the world from Christians. The trench lines move very slowly until the stances of prior generations become embarrassingly unimaginable. But the same basic authoritarian patriarchal reading of scripture that was deployed yesterday is being deployed today to serve a different cause.
Imagine what it would look like for Christians to promote holiness not as traditionalist legalism but as a means of achieving mystical union with Christ (which is what the apostle Paul is actually all about!!!). By making holiness synonymous with patriarchal gender norms, conservative evangelicals are sabotaging the possibility of teaching holiness to anyone who doesn't take their premises for granted. There is a campus ministry at Louisiana State University that gives its student membership a talk once a semester about their opposition to homosexuality. What that says to me is that they aren't interested in the evangelism or discipleship of anyone who disagrees with them about this issue, which is now a large majority of the population, especially among the young. They are more interested in feeling "orthodox" and "persecuted" than in helping others gain spiritual freedom.
Are there really no conservative evangelical leaders out there who are willing to say that even though they don't think the Bible supports gay marriage, they will help their gay friends and congregation members foster the healthiest, holiest covenantal relationships and families they possibly can? Are they really all consumed by their pursuit of the religious freedom to reject people? Will there be any repentance on the part of the Sydney diocese for funneling money into a propaganda campaign that claims queer people have an "agenda" to manipulate and exploit children? The ad that I saw doesn't even address same-sex marriage, but uses transgender stereotypes as the bogeymen whose attack on social stability is supposedly the real secret agenda of queer people.
The apocalypse of Christian sexuality will continue. More hypocrites will be exposed. More pigs will throw themselves furiously into the lake of fire. It's not going to be pretty. But more people will be awakened the more the exposure continues. God is using all of these events to pour out his wrath on the spiritual pride of his people so that we can enjoy the sweet repentance on the other side and become a people who care about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ again.

Remember Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D,NY)
#MarriageEquality is a prime example of the late senator's phrase "defining deviancy down." It's not about equality, it's about redefining sexuality to be whatever the heck the individual thinks it is in order to satisfy he/she/?'s passions. Believe it or not, it's possible to be understanding and compassionate towards sinners, without affirming their sin and calling it good.

Our Memorial Day Weekend camping trip had mostly been a disappointment for my 12 year old son, Thomas. Every year we camp with some of our best friends and their families at Birch Creek to fish and ride four wheelers or motorcycles. Our friends with the four wheelers would not let Tommy drive by himself and would hardly let he and his friend, Adam, hitch a ride. And Tom, who oftentimes lacks a filter, repeatedly let everyone know of his disappointment. So this trip was mostly a bummer for him.
One of the main reasons why our family goes to Birch Creek every Memorial Day is to give the kids the opportunity to catch some fish on the fly. There is no better place to teach youngsters how to fly fish and tenkara makes its easy. Although he has often fished with me in the past, Thomas did not once ask to fish on Friday or Saturday. We did not fish on Sunday, but just spent time together as a family.
"This is the worst camping trip of my life. There is nothing to do. I am so bored!" Tom had complained more than once over the weekend.
While I did not voice my opinion, I felt that Tom's negativity stemmed from his lack of trying to enjoy nature, and more particularly, fishing. I truly hope that my kids will learn to love fishing, but I do not want to force this on them.
On Monday morning—a warmer, sunnier day that the previous three days—four of my six kids all wanted to catch fish using tenkara. Of course, it didn't hurt that I promised a prize if they could catch a fish all by themselves. Nessy, Eden, Lily, and Ben all took turns with the Tenkara USA Rhodo and caught fish. It was a fun, successful morning. Of course, all of the kids bragged to everyone, including Tommy, about winning a Jamba Juice by catching a fish.
Lily's first fish on tenkara. Can't beat that smile!
Not wanting to miss out, Tommy finally asked after lunch, "Dad, I want to try to catch a fish." Before that, he and Adam had been whining about not being able to ride four wheelers, which made their owners even more unwilling to give them a ride.
I sent Tom down to the creek, with the tenkara rod and a nymph and indicator rig, to fish from the bank where Eden and her friend Becca had caught numerous fish earlier that morning. Try as he may, Tom could not catch anything and I didn't help him. To be honest, I was a little miffed that Tom only asked to fish just before we were getting ready to pack up to go home and only because he wanted a Jamba Juice.
Everyone in camp was staring at Tommy's temper tantrum and shaking their heads. To gain control of the situation, I made Tom sit in my car until he calmed down.
Tommy obeyed and we both went down to the creek with the Rhodo in hand. For the first time ever, Tommy waded with me in the creek. I showed him how and where to cast and how to present the fly.
In about twenty minutes, Tommy caught two fish but both got away before we could photo them. Both times, I hooted and hollered, "Alright Tommy!" while jumping up and down. The whole camp above us overheard our jubilation. I can honestly say that I was more excited about these two fish than any others brought to hand over the weekend.
Tommy and I fished up the creek together and I pointed out where the fish typically held and showed Tom where to cast. We had a good bonding moment like my late father and I had experienced so many times before on this special creek. This is exactly what I was had hoped for.
Truth be told, it was mine too. I was so glad I spent the one on one time with him.
