The Police Force as a Career

FORMER Inspector of Police Charles Turbet, who died in retirement in Sydney last week, was an example of what may be attained by those who take to police work as a career. ( The most prominent on hand in that way is, of course, the Chief, Mr. Childs, who, a youth from, the country, joined up, and, adding brains to physique, became Commissioner ).

A policeman’s life nowadays is capable of greater acceptance of ability and hard work than it was half a century ago, and those who add strings to their bow have fine opportunities. Mr. Turbet was one of the class that assiduously pursues the side lines and aids. He learned shorthand, and became of great value in that way. He also had a hand in the introduction of the priceless finger-print system.

When he became Superintendent of Traffic he was reaching the topmost branches of the tree, but ill-health had its claim on him. He was 59 years of age.

POLICE PALS

DEATH PARTS TWO IN TWO DAYS

WITHIN two days, death has robbed the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Childs, of two personal friends, who were formerly associated with him in the force.

The ex-superintendent of Traffic, Mr. Charles Turbet, died on Wednesday night, and ex-Superintendent John Evans, who retired 18 years ago, passed away at the Sydney Sanitarium, Wahroonga, last night.

Mr. Turbet was an old schoolmate of Mr. Childs, and Mr. Evans was closely associated with the Commissioner during his early days in the service.

Mr. Evans retired at Tamworth 11 years ago, and then bought a home at Pymble, in which he resided up to the time of his death. He had a record of long and valuable service. He was stationed at Tingha, in the tin mining area, and at Richmond River in the cattle stealing days. He was associated with many important cases, including the Wardell murder, which attracted much attention.

Mr. Childs met Mr. Evans, who was then the sergeant in charge at Armidale, 30 years ago. The present Commissioner was then serving in the town as district clerk to Superintendent Garvin, who rose to the office now occupied by Mr. Childs.

Before joining the service in N.S.W., Mr. Evans served with the Cornish police, in which he was a colleague of the late Inspector Sobye.

SUPERINTENDENT TURBET.
Death Announced.
Mr. Charles Turbet, former superintendent of the Police Traffic Department, died at his home, Dolphin-street, Randwick, at a late hour last night.

He had been in ill-health for a long time. Mr. Turbet entered the police force in 1892, and spent most of his police career in the Traffic Branch, in which he became inspector in 1922.

Upon the retirement of Superintendent Brack in 1924, Charles took charge of the branch. Ill-health, however, interfered with his service.

In August, 1928, he underwent a serious operation. He resumed duty in February last year ( 1929 ), but in the following month he again became ill.

He retired from the service last May ( 1929 ).

During Mr. Turbet’s regime at the Traffic Office the handling of motor traffic in the city became a serious problem. In September, 1924, Mr. Turbet visited America and studied motor traffic problems. It was on Mr. Turbet’s advice that the city parking regulations and other traffic regulations, including that relating to motor buses, were framed. Mr. Turbet, who was 59 years of age, is survived by Mrs. Turbet, three sons, Messrs. Charles, chief veterinary officer in Suva, James, and Norman Turbet, and two daughters, Mrs. Lance Robey and Mrs. Jack Martin. The funeral will take place at the Randwick Cemetery tomorrow, following a service at the Randwick Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Turbet was an elder.

For 30 minutes yesterday a Bondi detective sat on a garden fence with the barrel of a loaded, high-powered rifle pointed at him.

And talked, and talked.

And while he talked, all available police from the Eastern Suburbs, the Riot and Emergency Squads, armed with revolvers, rifles, shotguns, tear-gas and bullet proof shields, arrived to help him.

They surrounded a block of flats in Hastings Parade, Bondi, in which an armed man had barricaded himself and refused to come out.

For Detective-Constable John Tracey ( NSWPF # 11404 ), 24, it was a day to remember.

The man had fired one bullet through the front door of the ground floor flat and later fired four others into the garden.

Detective Tracey sat only eight feet away, the barrel of the .22 Magnum pointed at him.

So Detective Tracey talked. He asked the man what his troubles were, keeping him occupied until the other police arrived.

After a siege that lasted 1 ½ hours the man was finally persuaded to drop the rifle, and was captured without police firing a shot.

The drama began at about 11.45 a.m. yesterday when Detective Tracey and Detective Robert Campbell, both of Bondi, were called to the flat.

As the two detectives approached the flat door, a man pointed a rifle over a windowsill.

It was then that Detective Tracey began talking. He lit a cigarette and gradually eased himself on to the sandstone garden fence.

The Riot and Emergency Squad men stayed at a distance, their weapons out of sight.

The man’s girl friend was brought to the scene and she spoke to him from the veranda of a nearby house.

Police spoke to him through a loud-hailer, urging him to give himself up.

About 1 o’clock the man seemed ready to do so.

Holding the rifle by the barrel, he pushed it through the open window.

Then, abruptly, he dragged it in again and fired four shots into the front garden.

A small crowd of sightseers at both ends of Hastings Parade retreated.

Then, at 1.16 p.m., the man dropped the rifle into the garden.

As he did so, a detective grabbed his wrist, while Detective-Sergeant R. Phillips ( NSWPF # 7413 ) and Detective-Constables Nelson Chad ( NSWPF # 8675 ) and D. Mussey ( possibly D.A. MussingNSWPF # 11476 )( No Mussey in 1968 – 1969 Stud Books ) rushed into the flat and overpowered him.

A 24-year-old man was later charged at Paddington police station with unlawfully discharging a firearm in a public street and with wilful damage to a flat door. He will appear in Paddington Court of Petty Sessions today.

Police riddle of who owns painting with a colourful past

By Rachel Olding

IT IS an enigmatic depiction of a voluptuous woman being tempted by a devilish satyr, but this steamy painting may turn into one of the police force’s coldest cases.

Woman with Satyr, a nude by Norman Lindsay, was discovered in 2010 gathering dust in the vaults of the Art Gallery of NSW, with scant details of its origin and date.

Woman with Satyr.

The oil painting had been lent to the gallery by the police in 1980, yet neither they nor the gallery had any records as to how it came to be in their possession.

After hitting several dead ends, the police’s search for the painting’s owner has taken a new twist with much of the artwork’s colourful past coming to light.

However, its owner may remain an enduring mystery, said the detective in charge of Operation Matisse, Tim Axtens ( NSWPF # 37860 ).

He has discovered that Woman with Satyr was taken to the Art Gallery of NSW by an exhibit officer from the former Criminal Investigation Bureau who was responsible for securing all seized drugs, firearms and valuable property in a vault beneath an old hat factory in Surry Hills.

Former Police Sergeant, Peter Chilton is now living at Mylestom.
Former Police Sergeant, Peter Chilton ( NSWPF # 07879 ) is now living at Mylestom.
A former police officer now living at Mylestom has solved the mystery of how a Norman Lindsay nude painting, Woman with Satyr came to be in the Art Gallery of NSW. But the owner of the painting remains a mystery.

Peter Chilton, now 81 and living in Bellingen on the state’s north coast, said he stored the painting with the heroin and cannabis as it struck him as being unusual and very valuable.

He believes it was seized as part of an eastern suburbs break and enter investigation lead by the legendary late detective Herb Talarico, who was involved in the arrest of the Qantas bomb hoax extortionist Peter Macari and the infamous bank robber and prison escape artist Darcy Dugan.

In 1980, the Surry Hills basement became infected with tobacco beetle and Mr Chilton had it sprayed with chlordane. Worried that the painting would be damaged, he obtained authority to transfer it to the art gallery ”for safe keeping”.

”The gallery didn’t even know it existed, they were very happy to take it,” he said. ”I expected that the police would carry on with their investigations to find the owner.”

From there, however, the painting quietly slipped between the cracks. The CIB disbanded, Detective Talarico was transferred out of Sydney, detectives either had no breakthroughs or forgot about its existence and the sensual nude went unloved for more than 30 years.

It was not until August 2010 that the gallery called the police to question the length of the loan, sparking a police investigation to not only determine how it came to be at the gallery but also return it to its rightful owner.

An inscription on the back of the painting reads ”A. Jewell/ Burraburra Ave/ Vaucluse/ f.u. 2962”. The code is an old telephone number for the Rose Bay exchange pre-World War II and Vaucluse post-World War II.

Albert Jewell was an avid and wealthy art collector who died in 1963. A surviving son in Tasmania, however, told police he believed his father was no longer in possession of the painting when it was seized in 1980 and may have even sold it before his death in 1963.

”That 17 years is an enormous gap to fill,” senior constable Axtens said. ”We’ve still got a few lines of inquiry but it may be very difficult to find the owner.”

Neither the Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum nor Lindsay’s granddaughter, Helen Glad, an art historian, had come across the painting, which the Art Gallery of NSW said could fetch between $30,000 and $40,000 at auction.

Lindsay was a prolific artist, producing countless paintings, etchings, drawings, watercolours and sculptures until he died at 90, Ms Glad previously told the Herald.

”If it was an early work it could have been posed by my grandma Rose,” she said. ”But in the ’30s he used any number of models.”

If the painting’s owner can’t be found, senior constable Axtens would like it to be donated to a gallery for the public to enjoy.

Mr Chilton would like to see it donated to the Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum at Faulconbridge.

”I had always hoped it would have gone there,” he said.

Police riddle of who owns painting with a colourful past


Owner unknown, but mystery Lindsay painting finds home

By Rachel Olding

HER owners will remain a mystery but at least she finally has a home – the first of a series of homes, actually.

A two-year search for the owners of a mysterious Norman Lindsay artwork has ended with few answers but the voluptuous nude will have a new home for the next 12 months on the walls of the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.

Woman with Satyr was discovered gathering dust in the vaults of the Art Gallery of NSW in 2010, having been lent to the gallery by the police force in 1980.

With scant details about its origin and date and no record of how the police force came to possess it, or why it was in the gallery’s basement, detectives set about solving the decades-long cold case.

Along the way, much of the oil painting’s colourful past came to light, yet police say they will never know its true owner.

It was taken to the Art Gallery of NSW in 1980 by an exhibit officer from the former Criminal Investigation Bureau who was responsible for securing all seized drugs, firearms and valuable property in a vault beneath an old hat factory in Surry Hills.

Peter Chilton, now 81 and living in Bellingen on the state’s north coast, said he stored the painting with the heroin and cannabis as it struck him as being unusual and very valuable.

He believes it was seized as part of an eastern suburbs break-and-enter investigation led by the late and famous detective Herb Talarico, who was involved in the arrest of the infamous bank robber and prison escapee Darcy Dugan.

Mr Chilton moved the painting to the gallery to protect it from a tobacco beetle infestation but it was then forgotten about for 30 years.

Detective Tim Axtens spoke to relatives of the late Albert Jewell, a Vaucluse art collector whose name was inscribed on the back of the painting, but it is believed he sold the painting before he died in 1963.

Unable to track down any other owners, police have decided to lend the artwork to NSW galleries for 12-month stints.

Owner unknown, but mystery Lindsay painting finds home

Is there something to hide?

VERY senior NSW and federal police have something to hide from an impartial inquiry into police involvement in cannabis plantations in the Bungendore area and the Federal Government knows this, according to NSW Independent MP John Hatton.

For several years, Mr Hatton has been quizzing the NSW Government about the plantations, and recently called for the establishment of a Royal commission.

He has also suggested that “untainted” Victorian police be invited to investigate NSW and Federal Police involvement in up to 14 separate cannabis plantations in southern NSW.

The AFP is not impressed with Mr Hatton’s suggestions that it has some thing to hide. While senior officers might privately admit their embarrassment over the Bungendore affair, they deny strongly any suggestion of illegality on their part. They point out, correctly, that their role was investigated by former National Crime Authority Chief Justice Donald Stewart and that their members were cleared of any criminality.

Again privately, senior AFP officers suggest they were duped by their NSW colleagues. They say they got involved in Operation Seville — the code name for the Bungendore plantations exercise — with the best of honourable intentions: to catch some of the Mr Bigs. They say they were entitled to accept that their interstate colleagues were on the level. If anyone had something to hide, it was the NSW Police.

The Bungendore plantations were established on private and Crown land between 1980 and 1983. Their existence and operation were sanctioned by senior members of the AFP and the NSW Police. The operation was dubbed Operation Seville.

Activities on the plantations — which saw millions of dollars of cannabis harvested and sold — ultimately led to several men being charged last year with conspiracy to supply cannabis. Four of the men were committed for trial, but the NSW authorities have since decided not to proceed with the charges because of the unreliability of the chief prosecution witness, Giuseppe Verducci. One of two Bungendore

crops was grown on Verducci’s property, Montebello. The other was on Crown land nearby.

Operation Seville turned into a monumental embarrassment for both police forces because cannabis worth millions of dollars came to be harvested and sold, despite the close watch police were meant to be keeping on activities. Some have since suggested that this occurred in spite of police involvement.

The whole purpose of the exercise was to catch the major players in the financing, distribution and selling side of organised cannabis growing. However, not one person of this type was arrested at the time. As mentioned above, several of those involved — including three men said to be important organisers — were charged last year by the NCA, but the charges against them have either been dismissed or dropped.

The AFP is quick to point out that Operation Seville had one very important outcome: the arrest of Gianfranco Tizzoni.

Police informer

Tizzoni was arrested with two other men in 1982 by Victorian police. One of the vehicles the men were travelling in to Melbourne was found to contain a large quantity of Bungendore cannabis. Tizzoni subsequently became a police informer. This led to the jailing of himself, James Bazley and George Joseph over the murder of Donald Mackay and of Bazley and Joseph over the murder of Mr Asia syndicate members Douglas and Isobel Wilson.

While the arrest of Tizzoni was a major breakthrough, the NSW and Federal police can take little credit for it. An AFP tip-off enabled the Victorians to arrest Tizzoni, but everything which followed was due to the efforts of the Victorian police. No one knew at the time what Tizzoni’s arrest would lead to.

According to Mr Hatton, police were also “associated” with several other cannabis crops during the late 1970s and early 1980s. These included: one in the Brindabellas ( in the ACT, west of Canberra ); another two

in the Bungendore area; three at Dalton ( near Gunning ); one at East Lynne ( west of Durras, on the South Coast ); one west of Eden ( on the far South Coast ); one at Michelago ( south of Canberra ); two in the Monga State Forest ( near Braidwood ); and one at Hoskinstown ( between Queanbeyan and Captains Flat ). Mr Hatton referred to only one plantation in the Brindabellas, but there were two.

Mr Hatton said he had given the National Crime Authority information about police involvement in southern NSW cannabis plantations two years ago but the NCA had not acted on it. He had also referred potential witnesses to the NCA.

Neither the NCA, because of its past record, nor the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, which was limited by state borders, could properly investigate the matter.

Both the Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, and the Minister for Justice, Senator Michael Tate, had rejected calls for a Royal commission. Mr Hatton wondered if the Government simply wanted to save the AFP from embarrassment or had some other reason for not wishing to pursue the matter.

Mr Hatton thought the involvement of corrupt police in cannabis growing could be proved, but nothing had been really done to investigate this. This was because too many senior police would be seriously embarrassed by the outcome.

On May 11, Mr Hatton placed a long list of questions on the notice paper of the NSW Parliament about cannabis plantations in southern NSW. Among other things, he has asked the Attorney-General, John Dowd, to detail the number of plantations observed by NSW police during Operation Seville and the duration of the operation. He wants to know the names of all police involved in the operation and whether any have been “charged” with incompetence because of their involvement.

Mr Hatton has also asked for details of all crops grown on the Southern Tablelands and South Coast between 1980 and 1985, including the size and value of crops, the amounts harvested

or “ripped of” during police surveillance, and whether any arrests were made. He wants to know who authorised the growing of the crops, what legal advice was obtained beforehand and who within the AFP and NCA knew about them.

None of the questions has so far been answered.

On May 14, Mr Hatton moved in State Parliament that a Royal Commission be established to investigate the growing of cannabis in the Monga State Forest and at Michelago and Bungendore. Among other things, he said the commission should investigate whether cannabis had been harvested and marketed from crops in the Bungendore area while these had been under surveillance.

Long report

Mr Hatton said the Royal Commission should investigate the roles played in these matters by the late Detective Inspector Bill Cullen ( formerly of Queanbeyan and Goulburn ), Detective-Sergeant George Slade, of the NSW Bureau of Criminal Intelligence, Superintendent Reg Martin, Superintendent Herbert Talarico, Executive Chief Superintendent Gallagher, Assistant Commissioner Bob Shepherd and former Commissioner Cec Abbott.

Messrs Cullen, Slade, Shepherd and Abbott were mentioned in evidence during the Bungendore committal hearing in February and March. Cullen — who died in Gosford last month — was the senior detective at Queanbeyan at the time of Operation Seville. He was closely involved with NSW Bureau of Criminal Intelligence officers taking part in the operation.

An NCA officer, Detective-Sergeant Robin Small, told the Queanbeyan Local Court that Commissioner Abbott, Assistant Commissioner Shepherd, and Detective Sergeant Slade were aware of the operation. Sergeant Slade, in fact, prepared a lengthy report on Operation Seville and this was tendered during the hearing. He is currently facing criminal charges unrelated to Operation Seville:

CANBERRA COURTS

Defence calls for Crown evidence

An application was made by defence counsel before Mr Justice Kerr and an ACT Supreme Court jury yesterday for the transcript of evidence of a Crown witness who could not be found to be tendered to the court.

The application was made in the case in which Nikola Talanga, 41, diamond driller, of Gibbes Street, Newtown, NSW, is standing trial on a charge of having feloniously and maliciously murdered Sofia Malovic in Canberra on September 28, 1968.

Mr K. Enderby, instructed by Mr M. Somes, of Gallen, Kelly and Dainer, for Talanga, said he consented to the transcript of evidence given before Canberra Petty Sessions by Antoni Eres being tendered. The transcript should be tendered by the Crown, as the evidence of Eres was not unimportant to the defence.

The Senior Crown Prosecutor, Mr A. R. Watson, said he declined to tender the transcript. Before February 24 the defence had been told that the Crown would not be calling Eres at the trial because he could not be found.

Even if Eres were present the Crown would not call him because his evidence did not advance the case any further.

Mr Justice Kerr said he would not make any observations at that stage, but suggested that if Mr Enderby wished to take the request further he could do so when the Crown case ended.

Earlier, Mr Watson tendered a transcript of evidence given before Canberra Petty Sessions by George Mestitz, who was absent from the Commonwealth.

Mr Enderby consented to the tender of this transcript, which was read out in court.

Rama Hadzic, of Minerva Road, Wedderburn, NSW, said that on the night of September 29 Talanga had come to his house.

When asked by Talanga if he had heard about what had happened in Canberra, he had said he had heard about it over the radio.

When he asked Talanga why he had done it, he had replied that he did not know. Talanga had said he had found Sofia after eight months.

Talanga had said that when he asked her to come out of the shop and talk things over she had refused.

Talanga alleged that Sofia had insulted him, so he had shot her.

Hadzic said that while Talanga was staying with him he (Talanga) could not sleep. He would wake up and jump out of bed and cry. He had threatened to kill himself.

Two wounds in head

Detective Constable John Radalj ( 09566 ), of the NSW Police, said that on October 6 he was with a group of ACT and NSW police who surrounded a house at Wedderburn.

After a gunshot had been heard from the house Detective Sergeant Herbert Talarico had rushed inside.

Constable Radalj said he also had entered the house and had seen Talanga lying on the floor, with two wounds in the head.

Constable Radalj said he had asked Talanga in the Yugoslav language if he had shot and killed Sofia Malovie in Canberra on September 28.

Talanga had replied, “Yes”.

When asked why, Talanga had said, “Because she did not want me”.

Detective Sergeant M. J. Robinson, of the Canberra CIB, said that Talanga had been extradited to Canberra from Sydney on November 7, 1968.

When being brought back to Canberra by car, after being warned by Detective Constable H. G. Harrison, of the Canberra CIB, Talanga had said that he had shot the woman a couple of times inside the shop and shot her again outside.

He had wanted her to come back and live with him. When she spat on him he had become angry and shot her.

Detective Sergeant Colin Victor Letherbarrow ( # 6383 ), of the scientific investigation bureau, Sydney, said that an examination of six fired cartridges revealed that they had been discharged from the rifle produced in court. A cartridge case recovered from a house at Wedderburn had been discharged from the same rifle.

The hearing will be continue today.

£100 Fine, 10 Years’ Ban On Car Licence

SYDNEY, Friday. A man was fined £100 and had his licence suspended for 10 years by Mr. Meagher, S.M., in North Sydney Court to-day for driving a car while under the influence of liquor.

The man, Alfred de Visne Cornwell, 48, insurance broker, of Pacific Highway, Pymble, had prior driving convictions.

He pleaded “Not guilty” to driving under the influence at Gordon on July 1.

Constable Herbert Talarico said he followed Cornwell along the Pacific Highway at Killara. His car was swaying from side to side. Cornwell’s speech was thick and he smelt strongly of liquor.

Frederick Harold Morris, building contractor, of Kippax-street, Sydney, who was in the car with Cornwell, said Cornwell was not in a condition to drive.

Morris said he (Morris) drove the car until stopped near Gordon Council Chambers by Constable Talarico.

Mr. Meagher said he was satisfied that Constable Talarico was an honest witness.

“Cornwell, according to his own story, was badly under the influence of liquor,” the magistrate added.

KNOCKED OUT WITH GUN

 

SYDNEY, Thurs — A 20-year-old probationary constable, with only two months’ service, knocked out with the butt of his revolver a man who allegedly threatened him with an iron bar.

The constable, Herbert Talarico, saw a man acting suspiciously near the Eastwood post office about 2 a.m. yesterday.

Realising he had been seen, the man allegedly threw a stone on the roof of the post office to warn his mate inside and made off.

When Constable Talarico over took the man, he turned and brandished a piece of iron.

But Constable Talarico knocked him out with the butt of his revolver.

Police searched the Eastwood post office, and found a charge of gelignite plugged in the safe key hole, ready to be blown.

Then followed dashes to suburbs by the wireless patrol, culminating at 8 a.m. with a visit to a shop in Prince’s Highway, Tempe.

Police alleged that as they entered the shop a man thrust his hand, in his pocket, but was over powered and handcuffed. A fully-loaded revolver, was allegedly found in his pocket.

As a result of the night’s work, detectives believe they have put an end to a cycle of safe-blowing in the northern suburbs.

“LOOKING GLASS”

By ROLAND PULLEN -———

Mr. Barry Gulliver says he finds singing in Grand Opera uplifting after his rather sordid work.

In the daytime Mr. Gulliver works for the Taxation Department, investigating charges of dishonesty made in anonymous letters.

At night Mr. Gulliver is one of the chorus of demons in “Faust,” at the Conservatorium.

The demons sing hideous songs which drive Marguerita to madness and to killing her child.

We met Mr. Gulliver back stage at the Conservatorium this week during the opening scene of “Faust,” in which Mephistopheles tempts Faust.

Mr. Gulliver told us about his work as an investigator of anonymous letters, which the Federal Treasurer (Mr. Chifley) considers desirable.

He said that a lot of the people he had to interview in the course of his duties were rude. Some made use of the word “pimp.” Others used stronger language than this.

At this point there was a blinding flash as Mephistopheles leaped on to the stage. As Faust, the aged philosopher, was selling his immortal soul to Mephistopheles, Mr. Gulliver continued his narrative.

MR- GULLIVER said you would be surprised at the amount of deception and dishonesty that goes on in New South Wales.

Just then Mr. Curt Prerauer, the chorus-master, walked past to conduct the chorus of angels In his inner pocket Mr. Prerauer carries during the performance numerous watches and much jewellery and money which members of the chorus of angels leave with him so they won’t be stolen.

Mr. Gulliver says that when he was investigating some anonymous taxation letters at Wingham, near Taree, in 1938, a young woman was impressed with his voice and advised him to take up singing. He did so, and soon he was singing at church concerts at Wingham. “Opera is a wholesome change from investigating dishonesty,” he said.

At this stage Mephistopheles drew from a stage barrel water which the audience was led to believe was wine. Mr. Gulliver says that you meet interesting and ambitious people in opera companies.

ONE of the people Mr. Gulliver has met in the chorus is Mr. Herbert Talarico, Wahroonga barber.

Mr. Talarico‘s singing name is Lawrence Morrell.

Mr. Talarico is interested in the career of Mr. Joseph Schepsi, Melbourne’s singing barber, who charges £4/4/ for the Schepsi permanent wave and £4/4/ for a seat at his concerts.

Mr. Talarico charges only 1/6 for haircuts and receives the award rate of £5/7/ a week for his work in the opera chorus.

He says Schepsi must be a very interesting man. He would like to have a talk with him.

May Elaine LOOMES death notice

 

Updated 17 July 2023.

May May and Brian Forever Rest In Peace.

 


Brian LOOMES

from his FB page:

Your friendly relaxed Civil Funeral Celebrant.

Brian was a Civil Marriage Celebrant for 25 years and is a Justice of the Peace.

I have retired as a Marriage Celebrant, however I am continuing to conduct Funeral Ceremonies and consider myself to be a full time professional celebrant.

As a funeral celebrant I have officiated at funeral and memorial services for many years.

I like to call these “Life Centred Ceremonies” as the whole service including the eulogy must recognize, pay tribute to and celebrate the life of the deceased.

The service should offer comfort, support and a sense of comfort to those who are mourning the loss of someone who was special to them.

I can provide assistance with preparing the service, the eulogy and advice regarding funeral arrangements.

Brian can help you through all aspects and enjoys helping people and prides himself on paying special attention to detail at all times to create a personal ceremony that reflects the feelings, beliefs and personality of the deceased with a totally professional relaxed manner.

please feel free to contact Brian for more information. View the the many thank you messages from satisfied families

On the 3 March, 1952 Brian commenced employment as a Police Cadet No.994 and this was the start of a long and distinguished career spanning 40 years with the NSW Police Force until his retirement at the age of 55 on 9 July, 1992.

Whilst training as a Police Cadet he became a competent shorthand writer (120 wpm), an efficient touch typist  (40 wpm), and a certified police rider of police motor cycle outfits (Harley Davidson and Indian models).  He obtained the Bronze Medallion and Award of Merit for lifesaving from the Australian Life Saving Society and his First Aid Certificate from the St John Ambulance Service.

At the age of  l9 years, Brian was sworn in and attested as a probationary constable No. 8279 and stationed at Darlinghurst Police Station. He had 4 years on general duties at Darlinghurst, Vaucluse (traffic cyclist) and Braidwood.

The majority of his service was as a police prosecutor, with an intervening period of 8 years at the Metropolitan Superintendent’s Office as a Personal Assistant.  One of the many duties there was the recruitment and selection of police personnel for duty on the Island of Cyprus with the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces.

As a police prosecutor he dealt with many serious and complex matters ranging from the most simple traffic case to murder and conspiracy and drug related matters.

Brian was promoted through the ranks and received his commission on 31 December, 1985 and was later promoted to Chief Inspector in June, 1987.

Man on harbouring charge

SYDNEY: A South Australian man, described by police as a male prostitute, appeared in Sydney’s Central Court of Petty Sessions yesterday, charged with having harboured a prison escaper, Mr Raymond John Denning.

Mr Margarete Ngatai, 31, unemployed, of Para Hills, South Australia, appeared before Mr Henry, SM, wearing a maroon dress, red high-heel shoes and a bright-red-satin jacket.

He is charged with having knowingly harboured Mr Denning, an escaped prisoner, between April 6 and 21 at Nelson Bay and in Sydney.

Sergeant Brian Loomes, prosecuting, said that Mr Ngatai had accompanied Mr Denning to South Australia where they had lived together for three weeks. They had later returned to NSW.

Mr Ngatai had then returned to South Australia where he had been arrested last Wednesday. He was extradited yesterday to NSW.

Mr J. Bettons, for Mr Ngatai, said he had been told by Mr Ngatai that he had contacted police when he had discovered that the person he was living with was Mr Denning.

Mr Henry refused bail and adjourned the matter for mention to May 8.

Mr Denning is still at large.

Lotto copy swallowed, say police

SYDNEY: A man who falsely claimed for a Lotto win of $1.25 million, had swallowed the evidence – a carbon copy of the coupon – police alleged in Sydney Central Court of Petty Sessions yesterday.

Mr Rayson Light, 37, clerk, of East Sydney, was charged with having attempted to obtain $1.25 million on December 17, 1980, by having pretended he had submitted a valid winning Lotto entry.

He was also charged with having forged a Lotto coupon with intent to defraud, at Darlinghurst, on December 15 and with having uttered a forged coupon on December 17.

He was charged yesterday at Chatswood with having uttered a forged coupon. No pleas were entered.

Sergeant Brian Loomes, prosecuting, alleged that while being interviewed by detectives at Chatswood yesterday morning, Mr Light had stolen and then swallowed a carbon copy of the Lotto coupon relating to his false claim.

Mr G. Penny, for Mr Light, said the matter was still the subject of litigation in the Supreme Court.

He said his client had been born in Canton, China, and had come to Australia in 1975.

Mr R. Henry, SM, allowed him conditional bail.
