EDWARD (‘Ted’) Thomas McKenzie (1928-2012) put his life on the line for his country, quite literally, when he enlisted to help defend from further incursions by North Korean and Chinese forces, the 38th parallel that to this day divides North and South Korea.
He had already served in the Citizens’ Military Forces at Sale from 1948 to 1951.
But one February day in 1952 while working at the Yallourn open cut as a machine operator, Ted decided to go to Melbourne with his good mate Ron Newton and join the regular army.
Their Sale friend and Yallourn work mate, Johnny Hunt, had recently joined, so they agreed, “well, we might as well join the bloody army too”.

DC 911 says first call about rail emergency came from a passenger & not Metro
New timeline further highlights serious communications failures after train stalled outside Rhode Island Avenue station
5 hours ago
A passenger on a stranded subway train was the first to alert DC 911 to the emergency, further highlighting a serious communications breakdown at Metro’s Rail Operations Control Center (ROCC). The new information from DC’s Office of Unified Communications (OUC) comes two days after the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission’s (WMSC) CEO admonished Metro for its poor communications with police, fire and EMS during the March 26 incident. An OUC timeline and radio traffic recorded by OpenMHz.com illustrate continuing problems at both ROCC and OUC in promptly and accurately dispatching DC Fire & EMS to rail emergencies.

Frances Key
Ronni Walker | Mmc
March is National Women’s History Month, and we’ve asked the community to tell us about influential women in Olney. This week, we are celebrating Frances Key.
You can never tell the depth of a teacher’s influ ence on his or her students. Frances James Key influenced the lives of thousands of students through piano and organ instruction at Key Studio located in Olney. The Keys had more than 67 years of teaching experience. Her daughter Carol Glover continues to carry the torch of influence with the students she teaches throughout the community.
Is DC 911 really investigating or reporting all its mistakes?
OUC document appears to contradict recent statement from acting deputy mayor
3 weeks ago
DC 911’s own document again casts doubt on the agency’s official reporting of staff mistakes. The document is supposed to list all errors that hinder emergency operations, but it doesn’t. It’s missing most of the mistakes clearly documented last year by STATter911. The paperwork further backs up an earlier STATter911 report questioning 911 center data submitted to the DC Council. Before diving into those details, let’s first address some new mistakes and issues at DC 911.
