Blue Skies Motel Case Summary

1015 Words5 Pages

Incredibly, the company had suffered more fatal accidents by this time, and the accumulation of the associated rabidly negative media publicity was by now having a markedly regressive effect on both tour and express ticket sales...... Due to the increasing financial pressures Rex looked beyond his familiar support structures and took to listening to advice from some individuals whom the rest of the family doubted and quite frankly distrusted. One such gentleman was Hartley Madge, the owner of the Blue Skies Motel at Surfers Paradise, in which he had earlier convinced Rex to take a leasehold interest. Madge seemed to be in Rex’s ear way too much and it was soon announced that Redline’s trusted old accountancy firm, G F Offner & Co of Brisbane …show more content…

This caught us out and although Hartley Madge painted a rosy picture of the new bank's likely supportive approach, they weren't prepared to go the extra mile for us. One thing leads to another and before I knew much about it, a receiver/manager was appointed. You may recall I earlier mentioned that some stuff that happened was quite incredible. The incredible aspect was that the receivers appointed were Brown, Patrick & Co!!!! I couldn't believe this could be legally possible and queried dad about it because it surely at face value represented a serious conflict of interest. I understood that he would follow up on that, but nothing changed. I need to take a breath before I go on with the story and describe the events from this point on. Believe me, it got sordid, and the rescue of the very rescue-able Redline organization could not have been further from the mind of the crook who became the actual receiver / manager, a slug named Ian Beames. …show more content…

Although there was much to be done to finish the project such as landscaping and installation of the swimming pool, the business showed much promise and Beris returned to Brisbane in 1970 with very profitable books validating Rex’s foresight in putting it together. The premises have since undergone much change by way of owners, physical extensions and alterations and trading names, and operates today in 2013 as ‘The Aurora.’ Redline put its five valuable Sydney day tour licenses up for sale. A J ‘Archie’ Moore, the son of Jeff Moore, the founder of Harris Park Transport, soon took up the offer and set about building up a day tours division associated with his existing businesses. The five plates weren’t all sold attached to coaches, yet there is a record of Redline’s fleet number 96, a Superior bodied 41 seater Ford R192, being included with the sale of the plate TV 438. The outcome of this move proved disappointing for Archie, and after a short period the TV plates were virtually put on the shelf, and remained largely inactive for several

    The search for a contemporary and unique re-lighting of the Nashville Parthenon created for our studio a special opportunity to compare and contrast the Greek Parthenon’s formal, structural, decorative properties and the role it played in the festive, civic and pedagogical cultural life of ancient Athens with that of the role that Nashville’s Parthenon plays in the history and contemporary cultural life of Nashville. There are great similarities and great differences. Both buildings share a great affection of the local populace. It is remarkable the effort undertaken by the citizens, civic leaders and the business communities of both cities to build, maintain and reconstruct their individual structures. Both structures were—and are—in dialogue

    “For the first time in my life I was learning what it felt like to be a ‘nigger.’” ~ Clifton Davis In 1959 Clifton Davis, a poor black kid living in Long Island, New York, was told he was not allowed to enter Glen Echo Amusement Park with some of his middle school friends, on a class trip - because of his race. Glen Echo Amusement Park’s policy to exclude people of different nationalities or ethnicities is just because this action was not against Jim Crow Laws at the time, the amusement parks had the right to refuse service to anyone, and because of the 1st Amendment.

    Unfortunately, I have no records showing the date when this situation was reversed, however I have no doubt the air would have become rather thick around the place when all the cards were well and truly on the table and both men fully understood and confronted the reality of the situation. I cannot therefore say who pulled the pin, but while documented history shows that Redline was still located there in November 1954, Rex would have vacated the ‘ANA’ premises very likely at the end of the initial lease tenancy period, which was probably at the end of 1955. Consideration of that whole “Redline in Pioneer’s pocket’ situation takes on extra depth when one realises that it was not to be very long before Redline had begun to cramp Pioneer’s style to a marked extent.
