    OBITUARY: ANDY BROWN 1938-2004 by John Pochée __________________________________________________________ [This obituary appeared in the February, 2005 edition of the newsletter of the Jazz Action Society of NSW] any of us have been saddened by the news of the death of New Zealand double bassist Andy Brown in early January at his home in Auckland, aged M 66 after a long illness. Andy had a long career in NZ, Australia, London and Europe. I first played with Andy when he came to Melbourne from Auckland to join Dave MacRae, Bernie McGann and myself at the Fat Black Pussycat venue in 1964. The band was known as The Heads and played at the club five nights a week. There were later appearances in Brisbane and Sydney under that name, sometimes with the addition of Bob Bertles. Andy and I played in different situations together throughout the rest of the '60s including The Way Out Club in Brisbane, Spellsons in Newport, The Dollar Club in Adelaide and, in Sydney, The Mandarin Club, The El Rocco with the Chuck Yates Trio, and two years at Chequers Nightclub. Andy Brown (bass) is on the far right, then R-L, John Pochée (drums), Bernie McGann (alto saxophone), Bob Bertles (obscured behind McGann), Dave MacRae (piano) at the Katoomba Jazz Festival in 1966…PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN During this time, we still played concerts as a quartet or quintet and played on the Katoomba and Newport Jazz Festivals as the Dave MacRae Quartet. In 1967 we were featured along with bands led by Judy Bailey, John Sangster and Don Burrows on the historic recording Jazz Australia.

This section provides an overview. 2.1 Overview of Canaport Energy East Marine Terminal Operations and Expanded Shipping Operations The proposed marine terminal will be located on the western shore of the Bay of Fundy, southeast of the City of Saint John and southwest of Mispec Point, New Brunswick. The marine terminal is proposed to be located adjacent to the two existing Canaport marine facilities: a single buoy mooring (SBM or mono- buoy) for offloading crude oil to the Irving Canaport facility, and the Canaport LNG terminal for import and now recently licensed for export of liquefied natural gas (Figure 1-1). The marine terminal will include pile-supported trestles and breasting/mooring dolphins for two berths that can accommodate Aframax and Suezmax tankers (Berth 2), as well as VLCC tanker types (Berth 1), with capacities of 113,300 to 348,000 m3 (710,000 to 2.2 million barrels). The two berths will be constructed simultaneously. Oil will be pumped from shore via a trestle approximately 645 m long. Berths 1 and 2 will be interconnected by a trestle approximately 380 m long. The marine terminal is expected to receive approximately 281 tanker calls per year for shipping of crude oil products originating from western Canada.

  • Point Lepreau Generating Station
    cAHoaWf -13- POINT LEPREAU GENERATING STATION BY G. H. D. GANONG/ A. E. STRANG, G. E. GUNTER, T. S. THOMPSON (N B POWER) CNA INTERNATIONAL CONFEBENCE OTTAWA JUNE 16-18, 1975 -14- ABSTRACT The incorporation of this large unit on N B Power's system has been made possible by innovative power system planning and necessary by the price and supply reliability of oil. Project management and the treatment of environmental impact and pub Iic.concern may indicate future patterns for nuclear energy i n Canada. I . INTRODUCTION In July, 1974 it was announced that a CANDU-600 MWe nuclear generating station would be built by N B Power at Point Lepreau on the Bay of Fundy about 24 miles south-west of Saint John. The station is scheduled to be in service in October 1979 and in commercial operation In 1980 to supply future needs for electrical energy in New Brunswick and to provide a measure of relief from dependency upon foreign oil. The introduction of a single 600 MWe unit on the New Brunswick grid offers the economy of size but during the first few years of operation it will present problems with reserve back-up due to its large size relative to other units on the N B system. In an effort to alleviate this problem, a proposal was made in 1973 to supply steam to an AECL owned heavy water plant which would be located on a site adjacent to the nucjear plant. An 800 ton/yr D_0 plant would have reduced the turbine-generator size by 168 MWe.

  • THE LEN BARNARD STORY by Len Barnard
    THE LEN BARNARD STORY by Len Barnard _______________________________________________________ [This story was serialised in the first seven editions of the Australian Jazz Magazine, 1981-82.] Part 1: Jazz Magazine, January/February, 1981 n a recent conversation with Don Burrows, we both decided that the thirties in Australia were great years in which to grow up. I don’t expect everyone to enjoy I reading reminiscences — but I have the usual wistful hopes. I arrived as the farthing was going out as viable currency, but half pennies were still reasonably capable. Coleslaw was totally unknown, and all the shops were a bit musty by present standards. Perhaps because there was no processed food. L-R, Don Burrows, Bob Barnard, Len Barnard, Kenny Powell: the thirties in Australia were great years in which to grow up…PHOTO COURTESY LORETTA BARNARD One could buy a “ha’porth of specks” from a fruiterer — quite a large bag of apples, pears and bananas that were approaching over maturity. Cheese was cut with wire, butter with butter-pats and weighed on brass scales. Bags of broken biscuits from the grocer for a penny. Were people so fastidious in those days that they shunned speckled fruit and shattered biscuits? 1 My small, pimply friends and I would sit by a canal on Point Nepean Road, eating our ‘specks’ and identifying the traffic. Hupmobiles, Capitol Chevvies, Amilcars, Fiats, Studebakers, Hudson Terraplanes, Plymouths, Pontiacs and the odd Stutz Bearcat. At home we had radio (wireless) and records.
