President David asked Tommy Martin (PP RC of Clifton in Tennessee)
to
address the meeting.
Tommy explained his first visit
here was with a GSE group in 2006
where they had great pleasure in attending
the Kalgoorlie Conference.
Jane didn't accompany him then and desperately
wanted to come to Australia this time
and the Sydney Conference proved such an
opportunity.
Since the GSE he has worked with Phil Cordery and Barry
Berger
on the Short Term Exchange program.
He has hosted many students in
Tennessee

PROGRAM – Mates 500
Relay
Wayne
Barden spokesman for Mates Relay
team thanked Rotary for sponsoring the event
since the inaugural event in 2011.
The
event in 2014 was an 11 day, 1500km monster event.
The focus of the event
changed still two major sponsors coming on board,
Regional Men’s Health and
Prostrate Cancer of Australia
with increased Media coverage.
People state wide
becoming aware of men’s health.
The big plus this year was securing the naming
role of Aglime.
They also received a very big commitment from the Manager of
Aglime,
and the owners Dave and Annie,
who travelled with the crew giving up
their time
and raising a lot of money for the cause.
New runners were
introduced into the event to join the original 6
(only 3 of original able to
compete this year)
There
were functions every night to deliver awareness and raise money.
They ran in
new country and found great support in the wheat belt.
There was a focus on
small schools and raising awareness with children.
Adam Catto, CEO of Men’s
Health,
has evidence that the mates relay has saved lives
by men asking for
help directly after the relay.
They had over 100 volunteers over the 11 days
. A
massive undertaking with at least $100,000 raised this time.
The
future of the event is clear but the format
and timing of the event, is yet to
be discussed.
Well done Mates Relay !!

A Tribute to Discomfort: Cory Richards
One of the great
traditions of American economics
is the evolution of labor-management
negotiations.
Unfortunately, not always do contract negotiations go smoothly,
and whereas we often think about the irreconcilable differences
between blueand
white-collar personnel,
let us not forget that anybody can go on strike.
Even a
great symphony orchestra is not immune,
and a recent event in New York brought
this thought to an inevitable conclusion.
Musicians have often
gone on strike,
but symphony conductors have never,
to my understanding,
refused to perform
. They are temperamental, to be sure,
and they must have
standards of perfection
in order to get their orchestras to play to the best of
their abilities.
However, with economic conditions as they are,
the City of New
York was not able to pay its symphony conductor
the salary he felt he was
worth.
Eventually, the
orchestra's board of directors fired him
and attempted to replace him.
However,
no other professional and competent conductors
would accept the position.
In
the spirit of solidarity;
they refused to become scab conductors.
However, the board did
manage to locate
a promising conducting student from a local music school.
The
young conductor was not very good;
in fact, he was probably tone deaf
and
couldn't tell the differences among the instrument be heard.
During the first
rehearsal, he looked up from his score
and suggested the reed instruments play
louder.
The concertmaster said the reeds had been playing loudly enough;
it was
the trumpets and trombones that needed more volume
The conductor demurred,
insisting that it was the reeds.
Finally the
concertmaster and the entire orchestra
walked out in disgust,
the concertmaster
exclaiming that the conductor
didn't know his brass from his oboe.
