Tour of Duty
On
September the 11th 2001, the world watched as one, in
shock, as a series of coordinated suicide attacks were
launched upon the United States. A total of 411
emergency service workers lives were taken as they
responded to the scene. The New York City Fire
Department (FDNY) lost 343 Fire-fighters. The New York
City Police Department lost 23 officers. The Port
Authority Police Department lost 37 officers, and 8
additional Emergency Medical Paramedics from Private
Emergency Medical Support units were killed. The Tour of
Duty Run is a journey that will end in New York City,
early on the morning of September 11 2010.
In
2010, Australian and American Firefighters, with their
colleagues, will run from Los Angeles to New York,
finishing at the World Trade Center site to commemorate
9/11. The route will pass through Los Angeles, Las
Vegas, Arizona, Albuquerque, Oklahoma, Houston, New
Orleans, Mississippi, Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago,
Washington, Baltimore, Pennsylvania and New York. Each
dawn of the 31-day journey will be dedicated to the
individuals whose lives were tragically taken in their
tour of duty. Funds raised will be donated to charities
nominated by the Firefighters and Emergency Services of
America.
The fire-fighters and emergency service workers of
America and Australia will come together as allies to
remember our fallen colleagues, our brothers and
sisters, our family.

Jerry Lewis has gracefully agreed to be the US
Ambassador of The Tour Of Duty. Jerry, has had a long
and successful career as a comedian, actor, film
producer, writer, film director and singer. Jerry is
also the US national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy
Association and was recently in Australia promoting his
charity and spent time in Melbourne and Sydney with Vic
and NSW firefighters.
Despite all this hectic activity, Jerry gives the
appearance of being ageless. Six feet in height (184cm),
around 170 lb. (77kg), hazel eyes and black hair. He has
five sons: Gary, Ron, Scott, Chris and Anthony, seven
grandchildren, and one great granddaughter, thanks to
his granddaughter Sara Jane Spence.
Jerry has a proud relationship with US firefighters.
Jerry has been an active fund raiser for many charities
and is thrilled to be associated with The Tour of Duty
and the 'firefighter fellowship'. Jerry will be waiting
in Las Vegas and we are looking forward to shaking his
hand.
1977 marked the year that the highest honor ever
bestowed upon an entertainer, would recognize the
tireless efforts Jerry Lewis has displayed since 1949,
in his fight against Muscular Dystrophy. "Jerry Lewis is
a man for all seasons, all people, all times. His name
has, in the hearts of millions, become synonymous with
peace, love and brotherhood." With those words,
Congressman Les Aspin of Wisconsin concluded his
nomination of Jerry Lewis for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Jerry Lewis has a motto that reflects more than anything
else his ongoing love affair with humanity: "I shall
pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore,
that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any
human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor
neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again!"

A FIRE FIGHTER’S DREAM
His voice boomed like a beacon and
it echoed in my soul
From the land of opportunity,
reverberations roll
All across the mighty sea to where
the Southern Cross stars gleam
I was listening…and I heard it…when
he said…I have a dream…
And the dream I had was beautiful –
what more could someone pray
Than to wake up in the magic of a
perfect summer’s day?
An aqua blue-like canopy pays
tribute to the skies
And there I see this young kid with
a hero in his eyes
The hero is a humble man and not
the type to shirk
A proudly spoken fire-fighter on
his way to work
His profession is his passion, his
adrenalin, his spark
The hat he wears to battle is his
way to make a mark
And waving from a window, now the
boy begins to cry
You see the hero is his father…and
he hates to say goodbye
And the dream I had was terrible,
from nowhere they appear
Monsters in the New York sky that
choke the day with fear
It can’t be real – the questions
burn with why and who and how?
Go and turn your TV on…please…just
do it now…
An evil cloak in plumes of smoke
replaces freedom’s gown
The flames reveal their tragic
truth – the world is falling down
Falling, sprawling, screaming,
calling, crying as they go
A fire fighter grabs his hat and
flies to meet his foe
Forward into battle now – he hears
a church’s bell
Forward into no man’s land -
Forward into hell
And the dream I had was powerful –
the best of humankind
Courage is a heartfelt word not
easily defined
It doesn’t equal ‘fearless’ as some
sideline experts claim
No…courage is ‘to be scared…but to
go on just the same’
To rally in the moment then to rise
up through the stairs
To save as many people as an act of
courage dares
To dig and dig then dig some more –
to be there for your mates
To look your leader in the eye and
know the end awaits
Underneath the carnage, when the
count is done and said
The only thing recovered is his hat
of ‘firey’ red
And the dream I had was personal –
I’ve put my kids to sleep
But the images still haunt me and
reality cuts deep
I see the faces of the fallen – the
tape forever runs
I see the mothers and the brothers
and the sisters and the sons
And the comrades and the
colleagues, they are never to return
But for every face, a candle…and
tonight, that flame will burn
It burns for something precious –
something every hero gave
It illuminates ‘ground zero’ and
commemorates the brave
Of religion, race and rivalry, it
burns across that scope
It is pure in its simplicity –
tonight, it burns for hope
Yes the dream we share IS hopeful
in our darkest hour of hours
Beams of light now kiss the sky
where, once, we saw two towers
Of this, be strong and steadfast -
Of this, stand tall and say -
There are some things that an enemy
can never take away
I can feel it through the flag that
flies, defiant in the gloom
I can see it through the window
where a boy waits in his room
He is waiting for his hero, still,
to walk back through that door
The hat he holds is scuffed and
scratched but this, he knows for sure
One day he will wear that hat and
pride will reign supreme
Because his father’s gift was
freedom and for that…he has a dream…

Darryl Curnow, who is a board member from Ipswich Basketball and the
Associations efforts to make this happen. The imported players will be
travelling to schools all around the Ipswich Area to enable children to
participate in Basketball Clinics. This is great for kids health and also
their confidence"

It’s humbling to receive so many kind
wishes on our company’s 40th birthday. I’ve lived nearly
all my life in Ipswich and it’s home to me. Along with
my wife Joan, we have been on the receiving end of over
40 years of support from the Ipswich people and have
always enjoyed giving back, especially to members of our
community who have not been as fortunate as others. We
have a great team of people here at the dealership who
also enjoys helping our great city. The success of our
company has been a team effort and I am very grateful
for the support.

September 2006, -
vale Steve Irwin
THE
CROCODILES ARE CRYING
Endless
visions fill my head – this man – as large as life, And
instantly my heart mourns for his angels and his wife
Because
the way I see Steve Irwin – just put everything aside, It comes
back to his family – it comes back to his pride
His
animals inclusive – Crikey – light the place with love!, Shine
his star with everything he fought to rise above
The
crazy-man of Khaki from the day he left the pouch, Living
out his dream and in that classic ‘Stevo’ crouch
Exploding forth with character and redefining cheek, It’s one
thing to be honored as a champion unique
It’s one
thing to have microphones and spotlight cameras shoved, It’s
another to be taken in and genuinely loved
But that
was where he had it right – I guess he always knew, From his
fathers’ modest reptile park and then Australia Zoo
We
cringed at times and shook our heads – but true to
natures call, There
was something very Irwin in the make up of us all
Yes the
more I care to think of it – the more he had it right, If
you’re going to make a difference – make it big and make
it bright!
Yes - he
was a lunatic! Yes - he went head first!, But he
made the world feel happy with his energetic burst
A world
so large and loyal that it’s hard to comprehend, I doubt
we truly count the warmth until life meets an end
To count
it now I say a prayer with words of inspiration, May the
spotlight shine forever on his dream for conservation
…My
daughter broke the news to me – my six year old in tears, It was
like she’d just turned old enough to show her honest
fears
I tried
to make some sense of it but whilst her Dad was trying, His
little girl explained it best…she said “The crocodiles
are crying”
Their
best mate’s up in heaven now – the crocs up there
are smiling!, And as
sure as flowers, poems and cards and memories are piling
As sure
as we’ll continue with the trademarks of his spiel, Of all
the tributes worthy – he was rough…but he was real
As sure
as ‘Crikey!’ fills the sky, I think
we’ll miss ya Steve…goodbye

Motors Expands (again)
Its
full steam ahead for Ian Boettcher. Celebrating his 37th year in
business, he has decided to grow his business and purchase, the Currie Motors

Boettcher, “We need to grow our business, and we need more real estate to
achieve this goal. It was a logical choice to purchase Currie Motors as this
aide’s our expansion needs and effectively realises our potential growth for the
next decade. Together with my Son, Gregory, and my family members, we need to
keep building for the future. We are in an industry where you need to keep
growing. Ipswich has become a really desirable place to live, and our cities
economic climate is good for business growth.” |
