Report by Annie Wysham. Bikes of all styles

and standards wheeled into the Treasury Gardens on Saturday last.

Sixty riders were taking part in Australia’s most ambitious bike ride -

Australian Rotary Health’s ‘The Great Australian Bike Ride’. Over 200 others

showed their support by riding with the participants from different points of

Melbourne. Richmond Rotary was represented by Simon Marriott, with

young son Patrick as a passenger,

Simon’s brother Mark, with his 2 little sons in a bike buggy and niece, Ruby

Marriott, on the back of the bike! Friends of RCR, Frank Belunze and

Krissey O’Riley joined in too.

A sizeable party of Richmond Rotarians, plus AG Chris Wang, supported the

Rotary Clubs of Lilydale and Albert Park

in feeding lunch to all 350 there.

The Great Australian Bike Ride is a

nine-stage ride around the country, covering most of the Australian

coastline and ending on 10th October in

Melbourne. Some riders are doing the whole journey, with others joining in

and leaving along the way – together on the road fundraising for mental

health as well as encouraging good health and fitness! The riders are being

accompanied by highly visible Bike Ride buses and community events will be

organised by Rotary Clubs during the ride.

Stages 1 and 2 are Melbourne to

Hobart and then on to Launceston. The bikes were transported overnight

PPrreessiiddeenntt’’ss MMeessssaaggee ##3311Last Saturday we assisted with the BBQ

to welcome and launch the Great

Aussie Bike Ride. At Treasury Gardens we welcomed, fed and sent on their

way our bike riders in the first leg to Tasmania to raise funds for Australian

Rotary Health. Our Richmond Team of Judy, John N, Phil, Neale, Nia, John G,

Jo, Annie, Maureen and AG Chris, all chipped in with a helping hand.

At the Thursday evening a working-bee

we cut and wrapped 500 slices of fruitcake for the Bike Ride. Thank you

Judy, Neale, Jean Marc, Phil, Sue, Kevin and Krissy.

Next weekend, Richmond will host the

RYPEN Camp at Lancefield. I am sure after 3 days we will be thoroughly

exhausted but will be enriched by the company of the RYPEN participants and

the Rotaract organizers. Hopefully we will come away with a younger mind-

set and the inspiration of youth.

On Thursday I honoured a former Richmond Rotarian Sam Rubenstein

with a Certificate of Appreciation for service to the Rotary Club of Richmond

and inducted him as an Honorary Member. I understand from his family

that this was one of Sam’s last wishes – he passed away on Friday morning.

Rest in peace Sam.

Charter member Albert Turner (92 years old) phoned me to acknowledge

that Sam Rubenstein was an out-standing Rotarian and praised the Club

for finally recognising his community

service and renewing his membership.

ur Rotarian of the Week is yet-

to-be Rotarian Kristen O’Reilly.

Krissy has visited us 3 times and has committed to joined the RYPEN

host committee and Membership Steering Committee, helped on cake-

cutting working bee and rode on the start of the Great Aussie Bike Ride.

As an introduction, Krissy is originally

from a small dairy town near

Shepparton (family of 7; parents still there; lots of sport and Girl Guides).

She moved to Melbourne after school to attend uni, originally completing a

BTeaching (Sec)/BArts (Linguistics) at Deakin, followed by a MEd (Language

and Literacy) by research at Deakin. Currently she is studying for a Master

of Politics and Policy at Deakin. She started full-time work last month at

NMIT in a research and development department, as an educational

development officer. Before this, Krissy taught ESL at Box Hill TAFE for a couple

of years.

Krissy enjoys regular camping, cycling, swimming. Anything outdoorsy, active,

adventurous. and lives with boyfriend of 3.5 years, Dave. GO KRISSY!

Let’s continue to dream like Krissy – To

Make Dreams Real.

Rotary International and The Rotary

Foundation have had to make important decisions in light of the

current financial environment. At the

January Trustees meeting, a decision was made to reduce the 2008-09

Matching Grant budget in order to conserve The Rotary Foundation's

World Fund. As of 2 March, the Matching Grant budget has been fully

committed, and the Trustees are unable to approve any additional grant

applications.

As a result of the budget reductions, no new Matching Grant applications will be

accepted in the 2008-09 Rotary year. New applications received by the

WWeellccoommee && FFaarreewweellll SSaamm RRuubbeennsstteeiinnOn March 19th, President Trevor Pang inducted Sam

Rubenstein as an Honorary Member and presented him with our Certificate of Appreciation.

Gravely ill, Sam was unconscious on Trevor’s arrival

but immediately opened his eyes when Trevor announced that he was from the Rotary Club of

Richmond. Sam remained attentive during the ceremony (see Trevor’s speech below) and Trevor was

able to pin the Rotary Pin to his pajama lapel, offer his

hand of Rotary Friendship and provide the Embrace of Richmond Fellowship.

The ceremony was witnessed tearfully by Sam’s daughter Gail Rockman and his grand-daughter. Both

thanked our Club for acknowledging Sam for his

service to Rotary and "renewing" his membership.

Sadly, Sam died the following day, the 20th of

March.

“Sam Rubenstein - as President of the Rotary Club of Richmond, I have much pleasure in

being here today to honour a great Richmond Rotarian.

Rotary club members are part of a group of professional leaders working to address

community and international service needs. Through community service, Rotarians help

promote peace and understanding throughout the world. Our members are our most

important asset. They are the force that allows Rotary to achieve its humanitarian

missions.

Sam, during the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s, as a valued member of the Rotary Club of

Richmond, you have shown exemplary service to our community and true “service above

self”. Fellow Rotarians of the time, Geoff Clarke, Brian List, Kieran Moore, Les

Harrison, David Alston and John Griffith have fondly recalled your infectious sense of

humour, fundraising tenacity, limitless generosity and commitment to youth exchange but

most of all, your valuable friendship. All of whom extend their warm regards.

The tyranny of time often jades our memory. However it will never diminish our

gratitude for your service. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you back as an honorary

member of the Rotary Club of Richmond.

I am pleased to present to you your Rotary pin which will ensure that you are welcome at

over 30,000 Rotary Clubs in 164 countries around the world. Always wear it with

pleasure to yourself and pride of this Club. Please also accept our Certificate of

Membership and Member’s Starter Kit.

Sam Rubenstein I welcome you again to the Rotary Club of Richmond and offer you the

hand of Rotary Friendship.

Additionally, on behalf of all our Members, Partners and Friends I present to you, our

Certificate of Appreciation as a token of thanks for the service you have rendered to our

community through the Rotary Club of Richmond.

Rotarian Sam Rubenstein – we salute you.”

SSiimmoonn BBaakkeerr aaReport by Annie Wysham In the 2007-2008 Rotary

year, our then President, Jean-Marc Berthier,

awarded a Paul Harris

Fellow (PHF) to Simon Baker, to be presented

at the Changeover Dinner. Simon is the son

of Rotarian Tim Baker and his wife, Ann. As

Simon was overseas at the time the

presentation did not take place on that night

and was held over. Simon and his friend

Chris were guests of our Club last week so President Trevor Pang

generously stood aside and handed the

floor to PP Jean-Marc so he could fulfil this honour at last, much to Simon’s

surprise! (It was a “Baker instituteclub meeting as his father, Tim, was

the guest speaker!) Jean-Marc stated that he wanted ‘to honour and

recognise with a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) award the key role of sponsors in

financially supporting our Richmond Rotary Club's projects, in particular the

Rotary Youth Arts Project, known as RYAP.'

Over the past three years

realestate.com.au, headed by Simon, has been the lead sponsor of RYAP

along with Motto, S.A.I – Private and the City of Yarra. Jean-Marc continued,

''For many years now our RYAP project has been the flagship action of the

Great Aussie Bike Ride Launched(cont from p1) Tasmania by boat while the riders flew from

MMeerrcchhaanntt NNaavvyy iinn tthhee 11995500’’ss –– AA LLoosstt HHoorriizzoonn Report by Annie Wysham. Young Tim Baker (now a Richmond Rotarian of 16

years), was only 13 years old when he was accepted into the London Nautical

School in 1950. In 1953 he was

apprenticed to the Athel Line Limited, owned by Tate and Lyle the sugar

people, and spent 10 years in the British

Merchant Navy, retiring as a Master Mariner in 1962.

The Second World War saw 70% of Athel

Line’s tankers sunk and 265 officers and ratings killed. After WW2, They had

begun a rebuilding program and Tim felt fortunate to be part of it. He crewed on

tankers that plied the seas from the West Indies to the East Indies; in fact

anywhere around the world where sugar cane or sugar beet was grown.

The Athel tankers carried molasses in

the sugar season and oil out of the sugar season - in the same tanks! When each

sugar season started the tanks needed to be cleaned and this was done by

hand. Wearing a smoke helmet to avoid being gassed, Tim would strip to the

waist, hitch to a safety line and climb

halfway down the tank. Using a high pressure hot water hose he would wash

the tank down, while on deck another apprentice pumped air to his helmet.

Every half hour they traded places, working from dawn to dusk for five days.

In 1957, after 3½ years as an

apprentice, Tim had his 2nd Mates

Certificate. The next five years saw Tim gain experience as a Third Mate, Second

Mate and Chief Officer, mainly in the Athel Line. As Second Mate he was

responsible for deep sea and coastal

navigation. Navigation had changed little from the days of Captain Cook. Sextants,

chronometers and charts were used,

taking star and sun sights to find the position. Tim still loves and collects

charts. A ship could become ‘lost’ if the weather didn’t allow sun or star sights to

be taken. On one journey from Cardiff to the St Lawrence River, a cargo ship Tim

was on was ‘lost’ and sailed into pack ice off the coast of Labrador. The Captain

retired to his cabin with a bottle of

whisky while the other officers gradually turned the ship around, avoiding

damaging the propeller! When they returned to the UK, Tim decided it was

time to leave this ship!

In 1961 Tim left the Athel Line to come to Australia. Employed as the First

Officer, he delivered a newly constructed coaster from Italy to Indonesia. On

arrival in Australia he studied at RMIT to gain his Master Mariners Certificate in

1962. He gradually turned into a ‘land-lubber’ by settling down in Australia.

Then Tim met Ann, his wife of 45 years. They now have an extended family; and

Tim has enjoyed four exciting career changes and......but that’s another story

for another night!
