The Islander Thursday 3rd January 2002

Vintage Turkeys Stuffed at Long Beach

Over 30s, And Worse For Wear 3 v Under 30s, But not necessarily from Georgetown 5

After a fine Boxing Day lunch, spoilt slightly by Arsenal's miraculous escape from Chelsea, I made a quick return home to remove leaves and sweet wrappers from my underwear (a long story which I won't go into here to spare a young Lady's blushes), and drove to Long Beach for a football extravaganza.

The match was being taken very seriously indeed with some players resorting to performance enhancing drugs before kick off, Ed opted for a drug cocktail of Ohlsson and a ciggy, while Adam resorted to a roll up, and Brendan mummified half his left leg, perhaps he thought he was playing for the Masons.
In the second minute Richard White, the Veteran's winger, made a long run on the right wing but no one picked up on his cross into box. While I was writing this Gary promptly scored at the other end for the Youngsters, like Chelsea against Liverpool, it had only taken 3 minutes for the winners to become apparent!
Chocolate then made two runs from midfield, the first finishing with a shot wide, while the second was abruptly brought to a halt by Adam "the Flanker" Henshaw, who seemed to think he was still playing rugby. Chocolate recovered sufficiently to belt the free kick over the bar.
Cat then had a shot cleared off the line before the Youngsters' next attack was headed behind for a corner by Johnny. The corner was cleared before Nicky John attempted and failed to lob Brendan, the Oldies' Keeper.

In the 15th minute the Veterans equalised as Geordie, the Youngsters' Keeper, failed to save Melvin's penalty, awarded after Jonathon had handled in the area. Relieved at being level the Vets then made two substitutions, but the fresh legs could do nothing to stop Nicky John putting the Youngsters back in front. Brendan was left standing in the Oldies' goal in the 17th minute when Nicky cracked a knock-down from Ed into the left corner of the net.
At the other end Cat and Chocolate made another break but Dorian, although lying prone on the sand, was still able to kick the ball clear from Chocolate's feet.
Eddie Soul was then subbed for the Oldies, I think he returned to the fray a further three times before this marathon match ended, indeed the Oldies ended up making so many substitutions they seemed at times more like a basket ball team than footballers.
Next Melvin shot over from short range for the Veterans when it seem easier to score, and in the 30th minute the Youngsters doubled their lead as Mario lobbed Brendan. The Youngsters nearly went four, one up before halftime when Nicky Herne sliced a clearance that Brendan had to save heroically.
10 minutes into a marathon second half, which lasted over 55 minutes, Melvin got a goal back for the Oldies, he ran through the penalty area and shot into the side of the goal.
Things got a little boring after that so it's time to hand over to Priya for the ….

Priya Man of the Match awards.
Apparently girls don't watch football, only the player's legs. Priya was looking for the skinniest pair on show and scars or scabs were particularly attractive (I didn't dare ask why). Oh and while we were on the subject Priya explained she was not so partial to hair, except on men with prominent knee caps, (again I didn't ask why and promised not to repeat the conversation that followed concerning the relative merits of straight hairs versus short and curlies!) Anyway the two runners up in the Leg Over* Man of the Match category were Richard White and Chris Cochran and the winner*, on the grounds that he has a large Man Utd* scab on his thigh was Andrew "Flipper" Bennett.

 

 

Melvin was awarded Hippy of the Match for his bandana, and Brendan won Fairy of the Match for his goal keeping antics**, Mario was awarded Birthday Boy of the Match, and Jonathon won Minor of the Match. Dorian was awarded Footballer of the Match by Sonie, who was obviously paying more attention to the game than we were. Finally Ed, Ariane's


new boy(o), won Colour-blind Man of the Match for turning up in a green shirt when the strips were red or white. Ed showed his versatility by acting as striker in the first half and defender in the second, either that or they don't change direction at half time in Wales!

Meanwhile, the Youngsters were awarded an indirect free kick in the box, I think, which was cleared and then more fresh legs entered the fray, in sets of four. First Paddy trotted on to the pitch and then a local old donkey called MacAlister joined in.

The Youngsters then went four, two up when Gary shot from the right of the penalty area into the left of the goal. Alan Hudson then got one back for the Oldies shooting into an open goal when Oldie attackers out numbered Youngster defenders five to two. The Youngsters then had a goal ruled out for off side and Chocolate shot just over the top as the game dragged on and on. I think the Ref was waiting for the Oldies to equalise before ending the game, but luckily he changed his mind when the Youngsters went further ahead, otherwise we would still be at Long Beach now. Ollie O'Dean made it five, three to the Youngsters with the final kick of the game.

Father Keith Writes:

PARISH CHURCH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN. 
ASCENSION ISLAND (Diocese of St. Helena)

Parish Priest: Fr. Keith James - +247 6431
Church Warden: Mervyn Isaacs
Church Warden: Cheryl Anthony

Dear Friends,

Time to say "Goodbye"
Whenever I hear the song of that title I am immediately reminded of the mime artist we saw performing in Dijon market about three years ago. He was absolutely marvellous, dressed in a black tail-suit and whited face, jerking into action in time to the music like a mechanical doll. It was pure joy for me, and is something I shall never forget.

To say it has been "pure joy" for the last three and a quarter years here would perhaps be stretching it a bit far, but we shall certainly never forget the wonderful time we have had here on this beautiful island, an experience that only a few years ago we would never have dreamed of, but one we shall always remember and treasure.

As Dee Green wrote to us in a letter of welcome even before we arrived, "God is good!"

But now it really is time to say "goodbye."

But first our thanks for all who have befriended and supported us on the Island, especially those of you who were kind enough to come to our last Service on Sunday, and who joined us in the splendid setting of the balcony of the Green Turtle for delicious eats.

Thanks to all who provided them, and of course a special thank you for the gifts we received - unique reminders of our time here which will find pride of place in our new home in the UK.

If we were to single out people for special mentions I am sure we would miss some out, so we shall not even try. Thank you, everyone.

May God's Blessing be upon you and this Island now and always,

God Bless you and keep you,

Fr Keith & Ginny.

 

CHANGE
This is a time of change. Change for the Church as you await a new Vicar.
Change for the Island with new Government administration, later in the year a new Administrator. Change of Command of both RAF and later USAF bases are likely. Change at the School as a new Head-teacher arrives. And lets not mention taxes!
Change in all your lives as you enter the New Year.
In our prayers at my last service here we thanked God for the good things of the past, and asked His blessing and the guidance of His Holy Spirit for the future, and pray that Jesus Christ his Son may be with us all the way.
As I leave I should like to share our prayers with you.

We thank you O God for this Church of St Mary's;
for those who through the ages have built it and preserved it,
and those who have ministered here to serve you and the people on the Island.
At this time of change we ask your blessing on our Bishop
and the Church Wardens and Church Council, that through the leading of your Holy Spirit
you may be made known to all through him who came to be one with us
Jesus Christ our Lord.........

We thank you O God for this Island of Ascension;
for the Military presence and Companies that have shaped its past
and for the opportunities it offers now for employment and enjoyment.
At this time of change we ask your blessing on the Administrator
and all who seek to govern with justice, that through the guidance of your Holy Spirit
this place may become ever more like your Heavenly Kingdom
through him who is the King of Kings...........

We thank you O God for all among whom we live and work here;
for families and friends and those who come and go
and for the rich diversity of colour, race and cultures among us.
At this time of change we ask your blessing on all your children here
that though the indwelling of your Holy Spirit
we may break down any barriers that still divide us and live as bothers and sisters
through Jesus Christ the friend of all.

We thank you O God for all who serve this Island Community;
especially those who care for all who are sick in body, mind or spirit.
We pray for those who feel lonely, those who get depressed,
those who miss their loved ones, those who are here of necessity but long to be elsewhere
those who simply find life hard.
By your Holy Spirit dwell with them to comfort them and console them
and help them to find their strength in him who suffered death for us
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Fr Keith

(My thanks to the Islander Team for giving me space in "The Islander" each week. It has been for me a very important part of my ministry here.)

Turtle Project Enters its 4th Successive Year

We are delighted to be back on Ascension for the start of yet another turtle nesting season. This is the fourth season in which we have been involved in the marine turtle monitoring and conservation efforts. Work originally funded by a UK DEFRA (Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Formerly Department of the Environment Trade and the Regions) Darwin Initiative Grant to the University of Wales, Swansea was given a two year continuance by a grant from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Environment Fund for the Overseas Territories.
Whilst we are here we shall be involved in both basic monitoring of beaches for nesting activities, and continuing our scientific studies into beach temperatures, genetics and navigation of nesting females. In our absence, Julia Henshaw and Robert Frauenstein have been co-ordinating the Ascension Island Turtle Group which is growing from strength to strength owing to their valiant efforts. Many thanks to the Heritage Society and the Islander Newspaper for assistance in establishing the Conservation Centre (located at the Old Bakery) and its contents!
The appointment of a Conservation Officer to the island is a great achievement and we look forward to working closely with both Tara and Richard.
Turtle-wise, the mating season is now in full swing in the sheltered bays:

and occasional nesting females can be found on the beaches after dawn:

Other than the ongoing scientific research, the main aims/progress of the project to date include:

1) Monitoring of Marine Turtle Population
The project will continue the monitoring of the nesting population throughout the 2001/2002 season. This involves counting marine turtle tracks on all of the nesting beaches throughout the season to gain an estimate of the size of the nesting population.

2) Conservation and Analysis of Threats to Marine Turtles
Existing threats to marine turtles have been identified and where direct action was not possible solutions have been suggested in a Management Plan which will be completed in January 2002.

3) Development of a sustainable infrastructure for a marine turtle ecotourism initiative
With increasing visitors to this island this allows more benefit to be gained from marine turtles as well as minimising the impact of turtle watching. To date, this has included:
i) Establishment of a system of accompanied turtle tours
ii) Establishment of a Conservation Centre.
iii) Preparation of poster-board demonstrations of the biology and history of the marine turtles of Ascension
iv) Preparation of an educational slide show
v) Preparation of an educational video

4) Development of an ongoing wardening system
By charging for participation in turtle tours the funds collected can be used to ensure sufficient beach monitoring is undertaken to allow assessment of the trend in status of this most important of green turtle populations. Tours have begun again, see advert in this issue….please make a booking!

On Island volunteers to partake in beach patrols and accompanying turtle tours should contact Julia Henshaw of Ascension Island Turtle Group tel: 6232 or via: Adam&Julia@atlantis.co.ac.

In addition Drs. Annette Broderick and Brendan Godley of University of Wales, Swansea are currently on Ascension until 2nd February. They are contactable via MTN@atlantis.co.ac if you need further information

 

 

LETTERS

From the Editors:- Priya Sukhtanker & Adam Henshaw

Hello Everyone,

What fun we have had producing this willowy (but high quality) issue, particularly with the imbalance in computer literacy!
We hope you all enjoyed Christmas and on behalf of all the team at the Islander we wish you a Happy New Year for 2002. It's a palindromic one!
Goodbye to Father Keith and Ginny, we will miss you. Also goodbye to Jack, Matt, and anyone else leaving who we don't know.
Back to work for most of you/us now. You are able to find in this issue, that the next holiday isn't until March, but that the extra palindromic 20th of Feb does come before then, so it isn't all bad news.
Lastly, we had to (reluctantly, because of the size of this week's edition) leave a couple of things out of the paper because they were anonymously submitted. We don't have to publish a name but the editors have to know who submitted something before we can include it.
Take care,
Priya and Adam

“METCHAT” ************************ “METCHAT” ************************ “METCHAT” ************************ “METCHAT” *************************

The Staff of the Met Office would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers the very best of luck in the coming year.

Well, Christmas is now just a distant and hazy blur and the New Year celebrations are about to start in earnest. The past two weeks has seen a lot of partying and several sore heads for the Metties, all of us celebrating the season, big style.
The run up to Christmas was in some ways a fairly sad time for the Metties, Ops and Commcen staff, with Gary departing for pastures new. But not before he had treated us to dinner in a very quiet VC (too many people at the Turners Party in the MVC) on the Friday evening. His fiends and colleagues will miss him.
There was also the carols/sing-a-long evening in the mess on the Thursday evening, with the Band again providing the entertainment, plus the Medieval banquet in Reflections. The Saturday afternoon prior to Christmas saw Makem, Sleepwalking Stan, Rambling Roger and Incendiary Ian turn out at Two Boats club for a few cold drinks, Makem however stuck to the coke as he was chauffeur. The evening saw all the Metties down at the airhead to see off Gary (or should that be make sure he got on the plane) before those that were off duty retired to the mess bar.

Sunday saw the Snob Hill Mob again visit the VC for several beers, where we where joined by Turners Tom and Lee. Much mirth and merriment ensued along with several of the rumours that appear in the new section at the end of this article.

Monday evening at the Saints Bar had what seemed like most of the island's population in attendance. Chris the medic tried hard to prove that she is an Essex girl at heart, dancing around her handbag, but the lack of white shoes let her down. On Returning to Snob Hill, Falling Phil decided to exact some retribution on Nigel, with carol singing. Unfortunately Nigel was still out partying, as was Dave the Scribbly when we tried his room. A few beers on the veranda ended the evening off nicely.

Christmas morning saw Cornish return from his night shift, to offer Fifer and myself a G and T to celebrate. Rambling Roger, who had spiced up his early morning tea with a tot of rum, also joined us, and things went downhill very quickly from there. RR tucked into a bottle of Southern Comfort, with Makem and Fifer tackling a bottle of gin. By lunchtime all were back in their respective basha's sleeping, with RR claiming that he had missed his dinner. The afternoon saw the same crew take a trip down to the US base for an evening with Russell (CSR Met), though Makem had to leave early for work.

Boxing Day saw the Serco beach party on Turtle Shell, with RR arranging some interesting games. The kite flying was entertaining, with the Metties efforts being sabotaged by a fellow flier who forced our creation into the drink. Thanks to some spare bits (courtesy of Tim Mortimer), dextrous fingers and plenty of bodge tape, Fifer and Myself were able to make running repairs and finally managed to get the thing airborne, with the ensuing kite fight keeping many of the guests entertained. One of the more entertaining sights was the treasure hunt in the sand for prize tokens, the vision of many children (aged from 4 to 55) on their hands and knees digging in the sand was quite amusing.

Thursday evening saw a Met Barbecue outside Makem's basha, Cornish doing the honours with the food, his burgers getting rave reviews in particular from Falling Phil. Much beer and wine was consumed, a lot of it being what was left over from the above beach party (Our thanks go to Tim Mortimer for this, and to Incendiary Ian and RR for transporting it).

Friday saw an impromptu soiree outside Sleepwalking Stan's basha (who incidentally was at work at the time). The usual Snob Hill mob was in attendance for a night of fine wine and music. The evening was nicely rounded off with a chocolatey version of "Who wants to be a millionaire", Cornish showing his general knowledge was up to scratch by walking away with the big prize.

Saturday evening saw Fifer, Makem, RR and Sleepwalking Stan take a stroll to the mess for a few quiet beers, Makem even leaving before the bar had closed. This, according to a rather hung-over Fifer on Sunday morning, was the most sensible thing to do, as the others ended up at the Hawaian night in the MVC. Fifer described himself as being a gibbering wreck, and all three of them were suffering somewhat on Sunday morning.

Sunday evening saw the Grogs group visit the VC for tea, before retiring to the mess bar for more drinks. Makem and RR joined them a little later, to find that they were at the silly drinks stage. Not to be outdone however the intrepid duo added there favourite tipples to the evening, Makem getting the Baileys and Southern Comforts in, (they are nice, but deadly), while RR got Drambuie and blackcurrant for all. On returning to Snob Hill, RR joined the Makem for a few cold beers and cigars.

At this point we introduce an occasional article entitled Volcanic Rumblings. These are snippets that have been picked up on the grapevine, but who knows if there is any truth in them.

VOLCANIC RUMBLINGS

In place of a normal GROG report we proudly submit, direct from our own very special committee of moles hidden deep within the Island structure, a feature of some of the ideas and thoughts of those allowed to freely roam the Island. Intense discussions on various items on numerous subjects have been overheard at differing venues, often under adverse conditions induced by alcohol. These are now brought to your attention under the appropriate headings. It should be clearly understood that none of the suggestions has any official credence and are intended to merely open debate. Any other ideas are welcome. Letters of approval or otherwise should be sent to the Editor of "The Islander" for future inclusion.

Hash Trash

Hash number:883 - from Georgetown

Hash hares - Tit pecker and Blind Pew

You would think that a hash between Christmas and the New Year would be the ideal way to burn off a few of the excess calories indulged in at this time of year. However, it seems that some people were so busy indulging at the VC on Friday night that they found themselves unable to hash. You know who you are.

So a small but select band departed from Georgetown in the birdmobiles and headed down to the football pitch, a location that has already provided painful memories for some this week. After a briefing for our one hash virgin on the usual Ascension hash hazards of loose rocks, thorns, glass and wire the on-on was up-up towards the Hood guns. The pace was sluggish to say the least, resulting in the novel experience of being an FRB for some. As the on-on continued up the slopes of Cross Hill the pace slowed further until the FRBs became FWBs. A seasonal gift of a back arrow meant that the pain of reaching the summit was not experienced, but the hashers seemed none too grateful for this belated present. Down past the tank where a bar check reminded some of the excesses of the past week and then back to Georgetown to resume indulging.

Thanks to HM for firestarting and Twin Peaks for the meats. Best wishes for 2002 to all and see you at next week's hash - if we can sort out where and when.

This weeks hashers: Barley Buckeye, Chief Longpole, Skipper, Shadow, Radar, Blind Pew, Tit Pecker, Adam, Mark, Alex and Mathew.

Next week's hash by Skipper and The Fugitive from Pan Am.
