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
(cont p5)

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

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!
