In 2017, several Columbians began bouncing around the idea of creating a leadership seminar for fellow Columbians. This idea became a reality when the inaugural Columbian Community Impact program was launched last summer. A campaign set forth to introduce this concept to our Harrison Society members with an end goal that all participating Columbians will know how to apply leadership basics in both their personal and professional lives. The first class of Columbians to complete this 9 month training course received their commencement certificates on May 8. This fine young group of men and women have gained valuable insight and knowledge from our volunteer Columbians, who selflessly gave their time to foster and enrich the talents of our future leaders.
Indianapolis has a proud history of community leadership and our goal is to help guide young Columbian entrepreneurs on ways to identify their own passions, while growing the pipeline of civic talent among our membership.
This leadership series will mentor you on ways to get involved on a civic level that will begin to define your legacy. Columbians are eager to share their knowledge because with the right set of tools… everyone can make a difference!

TestimonialsMatt Freel, Inaugural CCI Participant and Membership Committee Chair 2018-2019
"The CCI program has brought to light some of the issues most of us aren't aware of in our community and highlighted the specific areas of others that we are aware of in our community. Alongside bringing those issues into conversation, there has been great discussion about what it takes to tackle those issues. Each meeting I can tell that the people in the room with me truly care about making this community better and helping those around us."
"It has truly been a pleasure to work with this inaugural Columbian Community Impact leadership class. Observing these outstanding young Columbians develop their own leadership skills, and supporting one another in their developmen, has been a joy to experience. I've no doubt in my mind that each new leader will take what they've learned and put it into action to create a true impact in our community. I'm anxious to see what they do individually, and collectively."

Our Carstensz Pyramid team reached the summit and has now returned to Bali today, after a helicopter flight early this morning from the base camp. The weather over the last 48 hours since we got down from the summit has been very stormy, so we were laying low at our base camp until the storm passed and the clouds and rain cleared up for a brief window to let the helicopter fly in. Most of the kitchen and dining tents in the base camp were destroyed in the wind storm, but our personal tents held up fine throughout the storm, thanks to the great engineering from Mountain Hardwear for our Trango 3 tents!
The climb was an epic day on the tallest peak in Australasia, a rock pyramid jutting out of the surrounding jungle landscape. We departed before dawn, climbing up the route over varying degrees of steepness on sustained slopes until we reached the summit ridge. We then traversed the ridge to the famous "abyss" crossing, where we tip toed across a wire cable to the other side. That wasn't the crux, as there were a couple more challenging crossings where we literally had to leap across to the other side! We lucked out with great weather the whole day and reached the top around 9 AM, then began the long series of rappels back down to base camp. This has truly been an epic adventure! We are all now on our way home after a wonderful time in Indonesia, climbing one of the world's "7 summits"!
Carstensz Pyramid weather has our climbing team positioned at base camp for another day. Garrett checks in below via satellite phone and relays that George and Audrey are enjoying the adventure while they wait for their return helicopter flight. Pictures coming soon!
Garrett checks in with the Carstensz Pyramid team after a safe descent from the summit yesterday. Currently our team is socked in at base camp waiting for suitable weather to fly back to Timika and then to Bali. Stay tuned!
Carstensz Pyramid team reaches the summit at 4,884m / 16,024ft! Listen to the audio dispatch below as Garrett checks in from the summit. Reports of variable cloud cover and stable climbing conditions. Way to go team!
Our autumn 2017 Carstensz Pyramid expedition has launched!! Our team flew by helicopter and arrived safely at Yellow Valley base camp today. Listen in below for a audio dispatch from Garrett and climbers Audrey and George as they prepare for the ascent. Onward and upward!
After a few days patiently waiting for the sky to clear we are off to the mountain! Carstensz Pyramid here we come!
Hello and greetings from Timika, the island of Papua. While on standby for the last couple of days waiting for good weather to fly into the base camp of Carstensz Pyramid, we have made the most of our time here by visiting some nice restaurants and touring the town & surrounding areas. Our climbing team is very eager to get to the mountain and begin climbing, however, we must wait for good flying conditions. So we are playing the waiting game, keeping our spirits up, and anticipating with positive hopes for a flight in the next day or two. As soon as we are able to fly to the base camp we will be poised to make our climb of the famed Carstensz Pyramid rock wall!
Greetings from the town of Timika, on the Island of Papua. We arrived yesterday here from Bali and went to the immigration office to get our permits. Then we enjoyed some nice dinner here before checking our equipment and preparing for today's helicopter flight to Carstensz Pyramid, assuming good weather and flyable conditions. We will fly about 45 minutes over the jungle to the base camp at about 14,000′, and once there plan to settle into our base camp. We are very excited to get to the mountain and start climbing!

Gas Fireplace Repair in Ottawa
It's always more affordable to maintain something you have than to buy it new. That's why it's important to keep an eye out for any problems with your fireplace and call the gas fireplace technicians at Anchor ClimateCare right away if you notice an issue.
Common problems that indicate your fireplace needs attention include:
- A sulfur (egg-like) odour coming from your fireplace
- The fireplace has issues turning on or off
- Soot is building up inside your fireplace or on your log set
- The pilot light won't stay lit
- The flame appears distorted or different
- Your front glass is discoloured.
What can you do? Avoid costly fireplace repair in Ottawa with simple maintenance
Get the most out of your fireplace by regularly conducting these easy maintenance tasks:
- Check for any build-up. Make sure that nothing is blocking the air flow of the unit. Routinely clean dust, cobwebs or any other debris out of your fireplace.
- Keep the glass clean. This will not only help you enjoy your fireplace more, but it will also allow you to see any problems that may arise on the inside of the fireplace.
- Don't forget about the outdoor vent. Always inspect your fireplace's outdoor vent for damage or any debris that may be lodged inside.
- Inspect all hardware and glass. Double check that all screws, brackets and glass are secure and fastened properly. This ensures that everything that is supposed to stay in (or out), does so.
Leave everything else to the professionals
When it comes to caring for and fixing your gas fireplace, these are the only steps that you should do on your own.
All repairs should be conducted by professionals who are properly trained in gas fireplace inspection, repair, and service. When you're dealing with gas, a lot can go wrong.
That's where the experts at Anchor ClimateCare come in. Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff should be your first call for gas fireplace repair in the Ottawa, Orleans and Embrun area.
Contact us today to make sure you stay warm and cozy this winter.

A look at how big companies have joined forces to cybersquat and how they justify it.
In May 2007, I noticed something curious on a new Gateway desktop computer I purchased. When I mistyped a web address, my browser showed a page full of ads.
That's nothing new. But who profited from the page was. It wasn't some small fry cybersquatter. It was Gateway.
I later found out that Dell did the same thing. Both computer manufacturers had teamed up with search companies to show a page of links when someone typed in a non-existent domain name.
Shortly thereafter, internet service providers such as Verizon, Time Warner, and later Comcast jumped on the bandwagon and started similar schemes.
There's only one reason these companies do this: money. They earn money every time someone clicks on a paid link on one of these error pages. But almost all of the companies masquerade error redirect pages as a "service" for their customers.
What's perplexing is that many of the companies that use error services, including Verizon and Dell, are members of Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA). CADNA seeks to stamp out cybersquatting. Yet Verizon and Dell essentially typosquat on fellow members.
To understand how particularly egregious these company's activities are, consider that almost all of the typos they serve ads on are of existing sites — essentially, trademarks. They aren't of generic domains, which is a large part of traditional domain name parking. After all, when was the last time you typed in a generic domain name and it wasn't already registered? Because all of the generic web addresses are registered, it's clear that the typos these companies are serving up are mostly trademarks.
Earlier this year I interviewed Verizon Vice President and Associate General Counsel Sarah Deutsch about new top level domain names. Although I didn't include it in my original story, I asked Deutsch about these error pages. She explained that they were very different from domain parking. Among her reasons:
1. If you typo a domain, the first thing you see on the page is a link "did you mean to go to realdomain.com…â€
2. You can opt-out, which you can't do of domain parking
3. The pages show organic listings in addition to ads
Although not won over by her arguments, I let it rest. But recently I received some screenshots of just how Verizon's error pages look. Here's one for DomainNameWir.com (notice the missing 'e'):
Notice that most of the page is just ads. Where are the organic listings? They're there, but they're below the fold. It's clear that the intent of this page is to get you to click on an ad. If it were to help you find the site you mistyped, the organic listings would be at the top of the page.
As for a suggestion of which web site you really meant to visit, apparently your web site needs to be bigger than just the 29,989th most trafficked site on the web to qualify.
To be fair, I'm sure Deutsch would rather her company not offer this service. Someone within these companies sees a money making opportunity, agrees to terms, and then forces it on the IT department to implement and deal with customers' furor. I doubt the intellectual property attorney is consulted in the process; they just have to defend it when their company's hypocrisy is called out.
Just how much revenue do companies earn from error redirects? It's hard to tell. Google advertisers get a break out of how much traffic they get from error pages. In my experience, it's dwarfed by the amount of parking traffic my campaigns get. And although Google reports the specific parked pages that served ads, it doesn't show which error pages served up ads.
But the revenue is meaningful. Otherwise Google, Yahoo, and these companies wouldn't put up with the kicking and screaming from their customers.
Note: hypocrisy.com is a real web site, unrelated to this article.

Agents continue to play a crucial role in the growth of the higher education sector. Agents represent institutions in their markets and provide culturally-aware counselling to students and their families. Agents also monitor enrolment criteria, streamlining the entire process.
At the 2016 event, a total of 100 educators and 18 service providers met with 117 agents from 50 countries around the world. ICEF is renowned for inviting only the most relevant and professional agents to attend its events. This reputation was built through ICEF's stringent screening process.

These steps, among other things, ensure that your meeting time is not wasted.

Speedy economic and social development of Kazakhstan has resulted in an acute need for personnel with advanced western education. This is an important contributing factor to the popularization of overseas education, particularly in the English-speaking countries.
An average annual GDP growth of over 4% over last five or six years significantly raised creditworthiness and financial capacity of the population allowing parents to educate their children in commercial universities and colleges. As prices for higher education in Kazakhstan rapidly approach Western levels many parents begin to look overseas at educational destinations for their children.

There was a time, in the late 1990s—when the futuristic GM EV1 electric car had been launched by General Motors—that it appeared that North America would lead the world in electric vehicle (EV) development. But GM cancelled the EV1 in 2003 and crushed all but a handful of the cars. Other US carmakers' EV programs quickly followed suit, bringing development of electrification to a near standstill. It didn't seem like it at the time, but this was the beginning of the end for US EV supremacy, providing an opening for others to exploit. China has become that "other."
During the past month, four announcements have provided a clear indication of where the Chinese EV auto industry is headed:
- June 27, 2018 – BYD opened a 24GWh power battery factory in Western China's Qinghai province as it prepares to increase total production capacity to 60GWh by 2020. The technologically advanced factory will be the largest in the world after its construction is completed in 2019.
- July 8, 2018 - The world's largest lithium ion battery maker, Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd. (CATL)—a Chinese company—announced it would build a $280 million battery plant in Germany to supply European car makers that are entering the EV market.
- July 9, 2018 - BMW announced that its electrically powered iX3 cross-over utility vehicle would be built in China for both the Chinese market and would be shipped from China for all markets worldwide.
- July 10, 2018 - Tesla announced that it would build a plant in China capable of producing 500,000 electric vehicles. Unlike previous automobile plants in China, which have been joint ventures between foreign and domestic carmakers, the Gigafactory 3—scheduled to open within 2 years—will be wholly owned by Tesla.
Growth Markets
Although it has taken nearly a decade, the auto industry has finally rebounded from the aftermath of the 2008 financial calamity that saw bankruptcies, takeovers, and bailouts. But in North America, the demand for new cars has plateaued. In 2017, 17.4 million light vehicles were sold here. That number is expected to only grow to 18 million vehicles by 2024. By comparison, the growth of China's auto market has been enormous and continuous. In 2015, China became the largest auto market in the world, surpassing the US. It is also the largest market for EVs.
"There are two main drivers for the investment into producing EVs in China," Stephanie Brinley, principle analyst at IHS Markit, told Design News. "The first is the sheer size and potential of the overall light-vehicle market itself. In 2017, 27.9 million light vehicles were sold in China, and the market is forecast to grow to nearly 34 million units by 2024. With a market that size, there can be a case for localized production being more effective and efficient. Second, the Chinese government is encouraging investment into EV production and sales, through a combination of tax incentives for consumers and production targets for automakers."

EV Powerhouse
It is this government support for EVs that is making China into an EV powerhouse. "Regulations across the world are encouraging a broader shift to electrified powertrains, but the Chinese market is larger, and with government support, has potential to be a larger EV market than others as well," said Brinley.
Worldwide, after a slow start, there is a growing shift toward EVs. "Electrification is a done deal as several countries have announced a deadline for the sale of internal combustion engine cars to end. Electric vehicles are on the cusp of another boom," said BYD President and Chairman Wang Chuanfu in a company press release that announced his company's new Qinghai battery factory.
According to the IHS Markit production forecast, global production of EVs will reach about 7.3 million units in 2025, compared with 1.3 million units in 2018. Global production of all vehicles is forecast to reach 110.5 million units in 2025. EVs are forecast to account for about 6.7% of global production that year, Brinley said.

Deep Tissue Sports Massage in Doncaster
Massage for sports injuries, aches and pains
Sports massage is a trusted therapy that helps the cardiovascular system to function properly. Massage treats tissues, aches, pains and injuries. By unblocking energy and releasing naturally occurring chemicals the body needs to operate, you eliminate toxic waste and speed up recovery.
Give Your Performance an Edge
Because sports trainers and professional athletes recognise the importance of deep-tissue massages, it has become an integral part of training routines. If you need an extra edge to improve your performance, a sports massage provides physiological and psychological conditioning.
Experienced Sports Trainer

How Sports Massage Helps You Recover
Sports massage relieves soreness
Sports massage counteracts damage caused during exercise by loosening muscles and relieving stiffness, tears and aches. If you want to keep your body in peak condition, a sports massage should be an essential part of your training routine.
Improve Blood Circulation
Massage not only puts you in a relaxed state. Manipulating your muscles dilates blood vessels so that blood flows through the body easily. As a result, fresh oxygen carries more nutrients to where they are needed and helps remove waste products and toxins so that you feel revitalised and spirited.
Psychological Benefits of Sports Massage
Because massage releases chemicals that give you the feel-good factor, the mind naturally feels better too. The increase in dopamine and serotonin reduces stress levels, promotes positive thinking and gives you more focus which improves all aspects of your life. Healthy mind, healthy body and vice-versa.
You can even combine a sports massage with one of the other services we offer in Doncaster. Why not try Reiki, Reflexology or help to ease your anxiety and depression by identifying emotional wounds that are holding you back.

This song is available on Joe Crone's Geometry Park.
The world is made up of water and land.
These places have names so you'll understand
Just where in the world we're talking about.
Get a map and a pointer, now you get to shout,
"Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic!
Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic!"
These are the names of the bodies of water
That we call the oceans,
Now you're getting smarter.
The land is divided into continents,
Some are in the East, but these are in the West:
North America!
South America!
Now let's go back to the East to see what we can find.
The cradle of civilization for human kind is in Africa.
I feel the rhythm of Africa! (Oh Africa!)
And Europe lies just to the North.
And Asia is beside it, the biggest one of course.
The cold one at the bottom is Antarctica.
And way down under is where you'll find Australia.
Ooooo Australia.
(Repeat Song)
The world is made up of water and land!
The world is made up of water and land!

Unstoppable: How Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Defeated Army
In the autumn of 1912, the football team from Carlisle Indian Industrial School took the field at the U.S. Military Academy, home to the bigger, stronger, and better -equipped West Points Cadets. Sportswriters billed the game as a sort of rematch, pitting against each other the descendants of U.S. soldiers and American Indians who fought on the battlefield only 20 years earlier. But for lightning-fast Jim Thorpe and the other Carlisle players, that day's game was about skill, strategy, and determination. Known for unusual formations and innovative plays, the Carlisle squad was out to prove just one thing- -that it was the best football team in all the land.
Jim Thorpe's bright path
A biography of Native American athlete Jim Thorpe, focusing on how his boyhood education set the stage for his athletic achievements which gained him international fame and Olympic gold medals. Author's note details Thorpe's life after college.

To: Angela Baxley <email@example.com>
Subject: Re: my space plus some, ok a lot
hey got your note and forwarded it to Vanessa. Thanks.
Love the family pics. The last time I saw your mom and dad was in 1994? and I think that was probably the last time I saw Matthew, Heather and Erin to. I still find it strange to call him your dad since I can actually remember knowing your dad.
Do you remember much of your dad? My guess would be more from stories than experiences, though I have no idea of course. Have you ever seen the picture of your dad holding me on his shoulders and we're pointing toward the sky. I remember that day. Everyone was at our house in Van Wert for BBQ and a storm came rolling in and the clouds were moving really fast and that's what we were looking at in the picture. Its funny the things we remember I can almost remember the conversation, that is to say I can remember hearing them talking to each other and to me. I do remember a bit it was about the storm and the way the wind and clouds were that day. I remember coming down from his shoulders to, mostly the way it felt. Funny the things we remember. I like that memory.
I remember another time at your house in Ft Wayne when I asked about a string art picture they had on the wall. It was a boat I think, a sailboat. I remember looking at it on a table and seeing how the strings were pulled tight around little nails and formed into the picture. I think you were looking at it to, do you remember that? Then I think for some reason we were in a hurry to get somewhere. We walked out the back door and it was dark out. That's it nothing else on that one. Except that at sometime you and Heather took a bath.
I also remember when they told me he had been in an accident. I was worried. Then I was angry when he died. Not because he died really but because he may not have had to. I remember grandma Schaadt was really angry over it to. I don't remember who told me but I remember exactly what they said. I think grandma and grandpa still have that motorcycle.
Every time I see a picture of John Lennon with a beard I think of your dad.
Sorry if any of this brings up a bad memory or makes you sad. I just thought you'd like to know and hear something about your dad you may not have known or heard before.
I love you,
P. S. – I know this probably sounds really wrong, so take it for the meaning and not the sound, if you weren't my cousin you'd definitely be on the "hotty" list. I think you're really doing great and I envy you a lot for getting to travel so much and to have disposable income, what a new concept. I'm really happy for you. can't wait to see you.

The Sunshine Coast Council will be advertising these 12 month full time traineeship positions on their website at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au in mid to late January 2017.
At this stage they have not determined exactly what traineeships will be on offer, however in the past they have had the following traineeships:

Free Mobile App for Students Starting University
That guy confidently striding towards tutorial room 23.100.04 looking at his phoning checking Facebook…isn't. He's probably checking the free mobile app "Lost on Campus".
It's free and it's going to be your best friend on campus. Just type in '23.100.04' and follow the blue line. You will never be lost on campus again.
I have tried this out myself and it is truly great! Apparently a quarter of a million University students use it, making it the most popular app in Australia built for Uni students.
Remember that 40% of the Australian university population is in first year – just like you! So you are surrounded by people who are faking all that confidence! They have no idea where tutorial room 23.100.04 is either….
I would just like to take this opportunity to say I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at Glasshouse Christian College. The staff and students have been wonderful. Thank you for entrusting me with your student's plans for the future, it has been a blessing and honour.
Thanks must also go to Mrs Celia Aldridge, Future Pathways Administration Officer, for hitting the ground running half way through the year and impressing everyone with her fabulous organisational skills.
I hope each and every College family has a restful and blessed break as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. See you all in 2017!
Carol McKee, Future Pathways Coordinator

Cosmetic Dentistry
Changes in the appearance of teeth can be due to:
- inherited traits - some people have a family history of dental irregularities such as gaps, misaligned teeth, spots and blemishes
- staining that can result from certain foods or beverages, especially tea, coffee, red wine and cola
- smoking, which causes discolouration of teeth
- the use of some antibiotics in children, which can lead to permanent colour changes in permanent teeth
- chips or cracks, which may be due to trauma such as sporting injuries or accidents
- broken-down restorations, and age
Veneers: These cover the front teeth and can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.
Bonding: Bonding can correct blemishes and irregularities of the front teeth without removing tooth structure.
Bleaching: This is a method used to whiten teeth.
Tooth-coloured fillings: These can be an alternative to amalgam fillings in many cases.
Inlays and Onlays: These repair large cavities or cracks on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, increasing their strength while maintaining their appearance.
Porcelain Veneers
These are thin, tooth-coloured porcelain (ceramic) shells carefully crafted to bond to and cover the front of unsightly teeth. They are a more conservative treatment than a crown and can often be used as an alternative if the underlying tooth is strong and healthy.
Veneers are excellent for treating:
- chipped teeth
- discoloured teeth
- slightly misaligned teeth
- misshapen teeth
- gaps between the teeth
- peg (small) teeth
- irregularly shaped teeth
However, a veneer cannot be repaired if it is damaged or if the gum shrinks away from the top edge. And a small amount of tooth must be removed during preparation.
Bonding is useful for improving small irregularities but is less successful than veneers in the treatment of some problems. The tooth is prepared by etching its surface with a gel. The surface is then painted with a bonding liquid that sets firmly when a special light is shone on it. A putty-like resin is moulded onto the tooth and shaped. The light is again used to harden it. Finally, the set resin is trimmed and polished.
However, bonding resin is not as strong as veneers and is more prone to chipping or breaking, but is easily repaired. And it may need regular touch-up work in some cases.
For stained or discoloured teeth, bleaching can lighten teeth that have not responded sufficiently to professional cleaning. It is a safe procedure when done by a qualified dentist. Bleaching may not be appropriate in people who have oral symptoms of some diseases.
There are 3 options available
- Laser Bleaching - fast and effective. A special whitening gel is painted onto the tooth surface and dental laser is used to bleach the teeth. It is painless and the procedure takes 45 minutes only.
- Home whitening kit - economic and safe. An impression is taken of the teeth and special trays are made to fit over the teeth. Daily application of bleaching gel with the trays are required. It can be done as a day procedure or while you sleep. Good results usually occur within 2 weeks. The trays can be reused later for touch ups.
- Laser and Home Whitening - the best guarantee. In some cases, it is recommended to utilize the speed of laser to achieve a good initial result and use the take home kit to enhance the whitening. An excellent result is usually within 3 to 4 days.
Nevertheless, some blemishes will not improve. Bleaching works best for teeth that are stained yellow, brown or orange. Teeth with grey stains may lighten a little, but results will not be as good. Teeth and gum can become sensitive during the process, and is usually temporary. Fillings and crowns cannot be bleached so some white fillings may need to be replaced after bleaching. Some teeth do not bleach evenly.
Tooth-coloured fillings
Composite (tooth coloured) fillings can be an alternative to amalgam fillings. They are made of a resin material mixed with small glass particles. They are suitable for repairing both the front and the back teeth.
They are more attractive than amalgam fillings and can be fitted into very small holes, so less drilling is required in preparation for the fillings.
However, composite fillings take longer to place than amalgam and the technique required is more complex. In large cavities, especially on the back teeth, composite fillings can wear out sooner than amalgam fillings. It can be stained by some food and drink, and it may be sensitive for a time after the procedure.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays are fillings that were traditionally made of gold but now are often made of porcelain, ceramic or composite material. They are used to repair moderately damaged back teeth and need to be extremely strong to withstand the grinding pressure of these teeth. Inlays are glued into place and are contained within the cusp tips of the tooth. A special glue is used to increase the strength of the bond.
Onlays are made of the same materials as inlays. An onlay is a more extensive repair that covers the tooth cusps. It is much stronger than any other type of fillings and actually increases the strength of the tooth.

Prior to pastoral settlement in 1837 Aboriginal people inhabited the land in the area which was to become known as Ballarat. This word is of native origin from "Balla" and "Arat" meaning 'resting place'. It was a camp ground or meeting place where groups gathered. In 1837 these two words were first recorded by the squatter Archibald Yuille as "Ballaarat" who no doubt accentuated the vowels in his Scottish brogue. He chose this name for his sheep run on the Yarrowee River.
When surveyor William Swan Urquhart camped on the new goldfield in the summer of 1851-52, he used native names for places on his surveys. For example: "Wendouree" for the swamp, "Yarrowee" for the river and Ballaarat East and Ballaarat West for the localities on either side of the watercourse.
The official spelling of the City of Ballaarat had a double 'a' from the time of the proclamation of the township in 1852, the incorporation of the municipality in 1855, the creation of a borough in 1863 and the declaration of a city in 1870. It remained that way for 143 years until local government amalgamation in 1994, when the spelling was changed to the City of Ballarat to signify the incorporation of districts from an area greater than the pre-1994 city. The nostalgic home town song which begins B, A, double L, double A, R, A, T, was written by Reginald Stoneham and Will A Bevan for a Home Coming to Ballarat in 1927.
From late August 1851 news spread that Ballarat had become a goldfield and this was the catalyst for rapid immigration to the district. Many aspired to find gold and providing for their needs was an opportunity for entrepreneurs to capitalise on the sudden influx of population. The location at some distance from the ports of Geelong and Melbourne allowed this goldfield to develop from a transitory, tented community to a permanent inland settlement in the Central Highlands of the Colony of Victoria. This was known as the Port Phillip District of New South Wales prior to the separation in July 1851 which coincided nicely with the announcement of Victorian gold discoveries.
Gold was first discovered in Ballarat on the rise above Canadian Creek at the base of Poverty Point aka Golden Point in late August (21-24th) 1851. Reports in the Geelong Advertiser instigated the first rush to the Ballarat Diggings. The Gold Commissioner exercised authority over the newly arrived diggers and friction over mining licences and policing rankled many miners, especially those who could not afford the fee.
The Ballarat & District Genealogical Society receives much correspondence about ancestors who may have been in Ballarat at the time of the Eureka uprising on 3rd December 1854. That date is writ large in the history of Ballarat and can be considered a demarcation point to be declared a Ballarat pioneer.
At this time Ballarat Flat and the other diggings along the creeks leading to it were clusters of canvas dwellings on ground which was honeycombed with muddy holes and mounds of wash dirt from alluvial mining. What an exciting cosmopolitan place Ballarat had become within just a few years as mostly young, literate immigrants arrived after a long sea voyage. Accents from all over the world could be heard on the goldfields. Rich finds were made but it is estimated that about one quarter of the population was servicing the needs of the miners.
The summer of 1854-1855 was not as idyllic as the scenic canvas town depicted by Von Guerard but it was hot and tempers flared as the reasons for discontent grew. Thousands of the miners on the Ballarat Diggings protested against the cost of mining licences and the arbitrary manner in which inspections were carried out by police behaving badly. In the context of corruption among some of the officials, the more militant amongst them organised training and weapons to resist the authorities. They built the Eureka Stockade on the Eureka Lead as a barricade for their own protection. Before dawn on Sunday the 3rd of December 1854, the march from the Government Camp began. Armed soldiers from British Army units attacked the Stockade supported by mounted and foot police. This sudden battle resulted in about 30 deaths and the arrest of some 120 diggers.
The upshot of the Eureka Treason Trials held in Melbourne before juries in February and March 1855 was the acquittal of all those accused. The diggers may have lost the battle but they won the war for political reforms. In 1855 men who held miner's rights were qualified to vote in the Electoral District of Ballarat in the Police District of Ballarat. More land was surveyed and suburban allotments were sold. The first wooden buildings were erected up on the escarpment of the Ballarat West plateau, now Lydiard Street. Courts and local government got underway. The Ballarat Star newspaper began its long life.
The wealth from gold made Ballarat the richest place on earth for a time but it was the energy and nous of the new settlers who brought institutions and organisations into being. That first generation of immigrants were 'can-do' people who found ways to overcome obstacles and to work towards a much better way of life than they would have had back in their old countries.
BALLARAT IN THE 1860s
Deep lead mining continued to bring great fortunes to the surface. Merchants imported machinery to make mining more efficient and local industries developed to support the booming mining industry. It has been said that Ballarat's forests went underground to shore up the shafts and tunnels, sometimes miles long. Timber was carted from the remaining forests to feed the boilers of the steam engines to pump water from the mines and to power the stamping batteries to crush the gold-bearing quartz. This din went on day and night. The population of Ballarat continued to grow and some attention was focussed on ways to make the mining town a more civilised place.
Large sums of money being expended on the public gardens and margins of the adjacent Swamp were justified by the expectation of beneficial results that would accrue to future generations.
Here a more egalitarian society was being created, where the mine managers would live among the miners. Churches, schools, hotels, the hospital, the courts, the gaol, lodges, sporting bodies and charitable institutions were established to improve social interaction and the quality of life.
BALLARAT IN THE 1870s
Grand designs for water storages, road construction and the edifice of the third Town Hall which we still see today almost bankrupted the municipal government but things improved and once more mining boomed. In the main boulevard of Sturt Street were constructed stone buildings giving the city its streetscape of today.
There were many more children to provide for as children born on the goldfields in the 1850s married and began to produce second generation Australian born families of their own.
BALLARAT IN THE 1880s
Such was the prosperity of Ballarat, it was often compared with a cities in Europe, and Edinburgh in particular because of the 3-chain wide grand boulevard that Sturt Street was becoming. Scottish-born benefactors whose wealth had come from gold wished to emulate the famous Royal Mile in Scotland's capital city. The streetscape of the main thoroughfare began to be adorned with commemorative monuments, following the gifts of classical marble statuary for the Botanical Gardens. These collections were presented by generous men who were grateful for their good fortune in the city of their creation.
The pioneers retained strong links to Britain and celebrated public holidays for the Queen's birthday in May and for the Prince of Wales in November. Civic pride reached new heights with the 1887 revised edition of Withers' History of Ballarat with its gold embossed cover but many of the young men born in this decade would be lost at Gallipoli and on the Somme.
THE BOOM AND BUST OF THE 1890s
Ballarat was proud of its part-time military force of over 400 in a population of 40 000 which was a better effort than 'Marvellous Melbourne". A goodly percentage of Ballarat women signed the Women's Suffrage Petition and bicycles became popular for both sexes with a resulting impact on fashionable clothing. The first Arbour Day resulted in the planting of Victoria Park in one day by groups representative of Ballarat's clubs and institutions. The telegraph, then telephone came to Ballarat and electric light replaced the gas lamps.
Magnificent public buildings such as the art gallery, theatre and library were added to the double-storied streetscapes. The new Gardens Pavilion provided facilities for crowds of locals as well as for people arriving at the Ballarat West Railway Station in their thousands for annual industry-based picnics. Dozens of hotels were closed by local option just prior to the Bank Crash of 1893. Much of the wealth of individuals and organisations was suddenly lost. Workers sought greener fields, especially in the gold mines of the West and in New Zealand.
Eight months after the unveiling of the glorious Queen Victoria statue in Sturt Street, HM's death brought the Victorian era to an end. With the new King and the first meeting of the Federal Parliament in Melbourne, an exciting era began. Ballarat provided the first Prime Minister and continued to behave as a self-important City-State by giving leadership to the nation on many issues. Men were sent to the South African War, the 50th anniversary of Eureka was celebrated, electric trams replaced the horse-drawn ones and the Coliseum Hall was ambitiously designed to accommodate 10 000 people for gala events and concerts. Visitors were encouraged with the publication of views in and around Ballarat. The old pioneers were fading away but the cultural and social institutions they had founded were flourishing. More of their grandchildren could go beyond a basic primary education with the opening of Ballarat High School.
The last goldmine in Ballarat closed at Black Hill in 1918. Mining had become unprofitable due to the cost of pumping ground water from the deep mines and because of the labour shortage caused by World War 1. The large cohort of young women destined to remain single by the devastating impact of WW1 were dominant among the tree planters of the Avenue of Honour and largely provided the funds for the Arch of Victory.
Finally in 1921 the Ballarat West and East Councils amalgamated across the Yarrowee River which had been the Rubicon since local government began six decades earlier.
The Ballaarat Municipal Coat of Arms depicts elements that have shaped Ballarat's history. The farmer and the miner stand either side of a shield with a icons at the top - a sheep for agriculture, a harp for music and the arts and a wheel for industry. We see the southern cross on a blue background, reminiscent of the Eureka Flag, and crossed oars for the City's proudest achievement to date - the transformation of a murky swamp into a beautiful lake for sports and recreation.
A translation of the Latin motto CULTUS FORMS ET INDUSTRIA can mean 'Culture and Industry' or even dilgence brings civilisation.
Life just got better with the popularity of the motorcar, the infrastructure for sewerage and Royal visits. For the Floral Festival in 1938, celebrating the founding of the Colony of Victoria, Ballarat was in its element of flowers, trees, statues and song.
Belying this facade was the Great Depression which was the impetus for regional migration of men seeking work. This generation was also impacted by the horrors of WW2, as were their parents for the Great War.
Although over the years Ballarat largely retained its population numbers, the stability disguised the mobility of the people as some people moved away to take other opportunities. This movement of individuals has provided many people with some connection with Ballarat. Wild estimates are as high as one in eight of 4th or 5th generation Australian families. What is indisputable is that Ballarat's role in the complex, interrelationship of migration, settlement and industry in the initial years, left it a unique role in history, genealogy, family and local history.
