  • Trip to Australia March 4 to April 3, 2014
    TRIP TO AUSTRALIA MARCH 4 TO APRIL 3, 2014 We timed this trip so that we'd be in Australia at the beginning of their fall season, reasoning that had we come two months earlier we would have experienced some of the most brutal summer weather that the continent had ever known. Temperatures over 40°C (104°F) were common in the cities that we planned to visit: Sydney (in New South Wales), Melbourne* (in Victoria), and Adelaide (in South Australia); and _____________________________________________________________ *Melbourne, for example, had a high of 47°C (117°F) on January 21; and several cities in the interior regions of NSW, Vic, and SA had temperatures of about 50°C (122°F) during Decem ber-January. _______________________________________________________________ there were dangerous brush fires not far from populated areas. As it turned out, we were quite fortunate: typical daily highs were around 25°C (although Adelaide soared to 33°C several days after we left it) and there were only a couple of days of rain. In m y earlier travelogs, I paid tribute to m y wife for her brilliant planning of our journey. So it was this time as well. In the months leading up to our departure, we (i.e., Lee) did yeoman (yeowoman? yo, woman?) work in these areas: (1) deciding which regions of Australia to visit; (2) scouring web sites, in consultation with the travel agency Southern Crossings, for suitable lodging; (3) negotiating with Southern Crossings (with the assistance of Stefan Bisciglia of Specialty Cruise and Villas, a fam ily-run travel agency in Gig Harbor) concerning city and country tours, tickets to events, advice on sights, etc.; and (4) reading several web sites and travel books.

  • Decimation of an Icon
    Decimation of an Icon Photo Ray Drew Report written and compiled by Nikki Sutterby Co-Ordinator Australian Society for Kangaroos PO Box 524 Castlemaine Vic 3450 Phone: 0417354408 www.australiansocietyforkangaroos.com 1 The following report exposes our kangaroos in crisis and on the brink of extinction, right across New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, decimated by a trade in leather and meat, and condoned by federal and state governments. This report also unveils decades of propaganda and myth used to justify a cruel and unsustainable industry; the world’s largest wildlife massacre; the commercial kangaroo industry. Photo by Stella Reid The following statistics are taken from Queensland, NSW and South Australian government data, recording kangaroo populations since the 1970s. 2 Kangaroos on the Brink Kangaroos are commercially hunted across New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. They are sold as pet food and leather. Their skins are sold to international shoe companies such as Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Puma, Florsheim and various other European and American shoe manufacturers. The Federal Government is responsible for monitoring the industry in the commercial hunting states, and is bound by the Environmental Protection Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999 to ensure the protection of biodiversity and native species. Tragically however, the federal and state governments have failed to protect kangaroos, with government data exposing a commercial trade in leather and meat, combined with severe drought, driving kangaroos to the brink of extinction across most of New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. Red Kangaroos, Western and Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Wallaroos and Euros have been hunted to critical levels of less than five kangaroos per square kilometre, densities defined by the Murray Darling Report as ‘quasi extinction’ and meaning: ‘The nominal value of kangaroo densities taken to indicate the effective loss of the species’ (1).

That is the question. Some people say that because vegetarians simply do not eat meat and fish, it is ok to wear leather because it is only a by-product of the meat industry. However, it is not as simple as that! Even though leather is classed as a by-product it is still an industry, leather production is itself a major source of pollution.

  • Shop in Downtown Lynn? Just Do It
    Shop in Downtown Lynn? Just do it. By Beth Bresnahan / The Daily Item | Posted: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 3:00 am Every year from the time I was in kindergarten through high school, my grandmother and I had a standing date for the last week in August. Grammy Anne and I would walk downtown from our apartment in Marian Gardens, and later from her place in the Harbor Loft building, to pick up my back­to­school clothes. There was rarely a need to take the bus to the Northshore Shopping Center, or venture to Boston’s Downtown Crossing, because Downtown Lynn had it all. In my younger years we’d visit Besse Rolfe and Shopping in Downtown Lynn T.W. Rogers for dresses that she loved and I The author says she didn’t expect to find a reluctantly wore.

I liked downtown Lynn, but she did at EbLens on the stores on Union Street — Empire, Lerner, the corner of State and Market. Hoffman’s and Randy’s, but my favorites were on Munroe Street and we always headed straight there. If you grew up in Lynn in the ’70s, ’80s and into the ’90s, you likely know that if you didn’t go to Pennyworth’s on Munroe Street sometime in June to put your sneakers on layaway (my grade school go­tos were Nike Cortez), you’d likely be walking into school in September with your head hung low in a pair of Kangaroos, plastic Saico sneakers from the Wig Shop on Union, or far worse — a scuffed­up pair from last school year.
