Still carrying a torch for the Games

Date: 25/01/2000

By ANTHONY DENNIS

A torch aloft. A flickering flame. A solitary runner. For an Olympic movement that has done its level best to dishonour its own stature, what does it say about such an event where three simple symbols can convey as much meaning and emotion as a gold medal?

Since its successful candidature, nearly seven years ago, the 2000 Olympics have been Sydney’s Games. The lighting of the flame in Olympia, Greece, on May 12 will be the single act which converts the Games into a truly national event and celebration of nationhood. Sydney’s Games will, hopefully, become Australia’s Games.

It will be a chance for Sydney, a city that in recent years had become somewhat self-obsessed to the exclusion of the other 15 million Australians – remember them? – to reach out to the rest of the nation.

It will be a rare opportunity, too, for the city to engage with the country and vice-a-versa.

So the torch relay is one of those unique sporting events that manage to surpass sport itself. But, above all, it will be a chance for ordinary Australians to prove how extraordinary they can be.

Nearly four years ago, ordinary Americans took part in the torch relay as it passed through the United States on its way to Atlanta.

The expressions on their faces were a contrast to some of the gold-medal-winning athletes, whose faces were often a portrait of arrogance and domination, especially on the running track where the Olympics go onto what is near enough to a war-footing.

Once participation was enough. Now winning is all. Even the IOC’s elaborate advertising campaign refers to the belief that you don’t win silver, you lose gold.

But the torch relay may be a vestige of the more traditional values of the Games in which participation was paramount.

There is an honesty about the relay that seems to have been lost from the broader event.

Now it’s the turn of Australians like Mr Gordon George Avery, of Bulli, named today as a 2000 torch-bearer. Mr Avery, who turns 75 on February 11, won silver at the 1948 London Olympics in the triple jump.

His thoughts typify the spirit of the relay and the old values of the Games: “The Olympic torch for me is the symbol of the Olympic Games. If you have ever been an Olympian and competed against all these people from other nations you can understand why an Olympian feels like he does.

“We feel like we understand the rest of the world, because we’ve lived and competed on a level playing field with all nations. Often they’re our very best friends without a thought of race, colour or creed.”

John Konrads, an extraordinary Australian whom no ordinary Australian could begrudge carrying the torch, agrees. “The torch is one of the very important elements … it brings the Olympics back to its origins in ancient Greece and relays that heritage to the current Olympic city,” said the 57-year-old who won gold in the 1500m freestyle at the 1960 Rome Games.

“It brings back very fond memories of other Olympic ceremonies I have attended. I will be very proud when I am running with the torch, which will be a permanent souvenir to keep as a family heirloom.”

The organisers like to describe the torch relay as the real start of the Games, but they’re saying so with a degree of desperation now.

The start of the relay can’t come a moment too soon for the IOC and SOCOG, eager to galvanise a jaundiced world and host nation in support of the Olympics.

Even a cynic studying the torch relay’s route around the continent would have to concede that it is brilliantly conceived. It’s a retirees’ blueprint for the ultimate round-Australia trip.

Keep the map. A few of us may choose to use it one day – Mount Isa to Mount Kosciuszko, Broome to Byron Bay, Darwin to Dubbo.

The torch relay is one of the few creations of Nazi Germany that the civilised world has not rejected. Not even the residue of hatred and bitterness from a world war was sufficient for London to abandon the relay at the 1948 Olympics.

R.I.P. David Leslie Joachim

15.06.1958 – 17.09.2020

Brother in Blue NSWPOL. 1978 – 1988

QLD Police. 1997 – 2013

On Thursday 24th September we said our farewell to the love of my life, my husband David – Dave, Jocho, loving father to Lauren and Yvette, with our immediate family and friends.

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions we could only have 50 people attend David’s service.

Our family and I would like to thank you all for the most beautiful and respectful messages we have received. We are overwhelmed by the love and support hundreds of friends and work colleagues have shown David and our family.

David had been very ill for many years. The early signs that David was unwell commenced in 2012 and in August 2015, David was diagnosed with Early Onset Frontal Temporal Dementia.

David’s health deteriorated where he was losing his motor skills, unable to see properly and kept having numerous falls.

Among many other symptoms, his ability to speak, eat, swallow and to walk deteriorated.

David had 167 consultations and follow up consultations over a 3 year period.

I took him to many different medical specialists and he also attended the Frontier Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney in order to properly diagnose him.

David had the most tenacious neurologist on the Gold Coast, Dr Arman Sabet who completed his studies in the U.S.

Dr Sabet kept stating David has a more specific disease because David was still very cognitive and still had an amazing long term memory which he did up until he passed. He did have difficulty with his short term memory. He knew what he wanted to say but his brain wouldn’t allow his thoughts to be transmitted through his speech.

After many tests and bloods sent overseas by Dr Sabet, David was fully diagnosed with PSP, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy which is somewhat similar to MND Motor Neuron Disease. PSP is also like a Parkinsonian disease.

David suffered a horrible and cruel 5 years and on the 17th September, David passed into God’s eternal care. No more torment. No more pain.

I know that you will all miss David as much as we miss him. We all have wonderful and funny stories to tell but that would take forever and I’m sure you will all share those stories and memories.

You all know David was a good, loyal, caring man, always had everyone’s back and you all hold him dearly to your hearts. Our lives will never be the same again.

There are too many people for our family to thank individually. We thank you all very much.

The last thing I would like to say is: If anyone becomes ill from Dementia, PSP, MND, Cancer or whatever terminal disease, please don’t be frightened to keep in contact or visit that person as that person is still the same person you all knew and loved.

That person also remembers you all and also loves you.

Keep safe and healthy our very dear friends, previous work colleagues and families.

Much love.

Helen xxoo

One of the Facebook messages between Charlie and myself on the 11 September 2018:

LMiss 1 & Mr 2OL It’s all good Greg, I didn’t think I would have made it into one of those “Stud” books anyways, I just wasn’t studdy enough for the Stud Book. I emailed the Dept via their web page and got a reply from some S/C.  I just thought I’d update you just in case you kept on looking.  And for future reference when you put me on the Fallen Police group site, my rego was 26802 LOL

Well Charlie, I had to use that Registered number tonight my friend.  Little did we know, 2 years ago, that I would use it so soon.

You were one funny bugger that I loved working with and associating with over the years.

Although we had not seen each other for several years, we tried to catch up last time I was in Victoria.

No matter how long it was between conversations, we always started up from where we left off the last time we spoke.

We always had each others back and it was a bloody pleasure of mine to work with a bloke such as yourself.  I loved the ethics and banter between us.

Rest In Eternal Peace my friend – until we meet again.

Supplement to the London Gazette, 4 February 1958   Page 780

Kenneth Frederick GILMOUR, Detective Sergeant, Third Class, New South Wales Police Force.

A telephone message was received at the Darlinghurst Police Station that a man, armed with a shotgun, had killed another and seriously wounded a woman and then attempted to set fire to some premises.

Detective Sergeant Gilmour, accompanied by two other policemen, arrived at the premises shortly afterwards and went to the basement at the rear.

A steep and narrow stairway led to the ground floor where a person could be heard moving about.

Gilmour, who was armed with his Service weapon, ascended to near the top stair and leaned forward to look around a partition. He saw the man standing in a doorway across the hall pointing a shotgun at him.

Gilmour called out that he was a Policeman and directed him to drop the gun.

The man stepped towards him and in a position above and slightly to the left of the Detective Sergeant aimed his weapon directly at him.

Both discharged their weapons at the same time and the Detective Sergeant was seriously wounded in the right arm.

The gunman was fatally wounded.

Detective Sergeant Gilmour displayed out-standing courage in ascending the narrow and steep stairway, being fully aware that an armed and desperate man was awaiting his approach and that he would be fired upon when he would be at a considerable disadvantage.

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/41302/supplement/780/data.pdf

The man sitting on the edge of the gutter, injured and bloodied, is Detective Constable 1st Class K F Gilmour from Darlinghurst Police Station, soon to be promoted to Detective Sergeant.

It was the morning of ‘cracker night‘, 24 May 1957 and Gilmour was later awarded the British Empire Medal in recognition of his bravery on that day.

A man named Charles Spiteri had shot two people, killing a man and wounding a woman.

Detective Constable Gilmour ‘went to the premises with other police; he climbed the stairs to the room in which Spiteri was sheltering and saw Spiteri standing in a doorway pointing a shotgun at him.

He called to Spiteri that he was a policeman and told him to drop the gun.

Spiteri then aimed his gun at Gilmour and fired, Gilmour firing simultaneously with his service pistol.

Gilmour was seriously wounded in the right arm and had to retire, and it was subsequently found that Spiteri had been killed by the bullet from Gilmour’s pistol’.

The NSW Police Department annual report for 1957 declared that ‘in going up the stairs to the room after Spiteri, knowing that he was armed and had already shot one person, Detective Sergeant Gilmour displayed courage of a very high order.’

(Report of the Police Department of New South Wales for 1957, Sydney, Acting Government Printing Office, 1958 p.18).

Gilmour also received two other awards for bravery:

the George Lewis Trophy for 1957 (a trophy presented each year by a Sydney business for the most courageous act by a member of the New South Wales Police Force);

and the Peter Mitchell Trust Award for ‘Most courageous act’.

The injury to Gilmour’s arm resulted in a permanent disability.
