Man charged after two drownings

SYDNEY: A man who hired out an allegedly unseaworthy boat to five men, two of whom drowned when it sank in 1982, has been charged over the incident.

Mr Rodney Ernest Frank Steventon, of Burwood, in Sydney, has been summonsed to appear in the St James Court of Petty Sessions on September 24.

At Glebe Coroner’s Court on Friday, an inquest into the deaths of the two men heard that Mr Steventon had been summonsed on a charge alleging that on or about July 24, 1982, he had sent the vessel Fortuna out in an unseaworthy condition, endangering the lives of the master and crew.

Coroner Margaret Sleeman found that the master, Mr Angikasi Tine, and engineer, Mr Souhial Shami, had drowned on September 9, 1982, when the Fortuna turned over and sank east of Port Stephens, north of Newcastle.

Sergeant Hilary Hansen of the water police said that the 15-metre diesel steel fishing boat had been owned by the Mutual Acceptance Corporation and leased by Mr Steventon.

The boat’s crank case had broken down a day after leaving Sydney for Fiji on July 24, 1982, and the vessel had been towed into Port Stephens.

It had set off for Fiji again on September 7, but had sunk in rough seas early on September 9.

A distress signal had been sent by the master and the engineer, but only the three other crew members had made it to a life raft, to be picked up by a Japanese freighter several hours later.

Sergeant Hansen said that the report of the Marine Operations Division included recommendations on shortcomings of the boat’s life raft, instability in the vessel and lack of survey certificates.

It had been suggested in the report that the matter be referred to a Court of Marine Inquiry.

Special Constables Sue<br /> Elliott and Vira Jenkins<br /> make the acquaintance of<br /> some of the 'props' they<br /> will use daring their lectures<br /> to school children. — Special Constables Sue Elliott ( P/W 0015 ) and Vira Jenkins ( P/W 0006 ) make the acquaintance of some of the ‘props’ they will use daring their lectures to school children.

Newcastle Sun (NSW : 1918 – 1954),

” Women In Blue ” to Lecture In Schools

Two young women who will soon be familiar figures to all school children in the district are Special Constables Vira Jenkins and Sue Elliott.

Special Constables Sue Elliott and Vira Jenkins make the acquaintance of some of the ‘props’ they will use daring their lectures to school children. The puppets include a policeman, a small girl and a villain. Posters, cut-out paper figures and miniature road signals are also part of their equipment.

They started work yesterday with the Newcastle school lecturing section of the police force and will assist Constables D. Pike and R. Mann in covering the 266 schools in the district.

While on duty the women wear the navy uniform and wide – brimmed hat designed for women police. They will travel to schools by bus or in the utility belonging to the section. Both are from Newcastle.

Miss Jenkins, who was a nurse before she joined the police force six years ago, will be living at home for the first time for years. She has been four years with the school lecturing section in Sydney.

Mrs. Elliott is a policeman’s widow. She joined up only two months ago and has been in Sydney to train for the work.

With her six-year-old son, she is now living at Lambton.

Traffic Duty

As well as lecturing at schools on road safety, snake bite, fire hazards ” and anything else affecting the safety of children, ” Miss Jenkins said, they will also do traffic duty at school crossings. ”

As soon as we have learnt our lines, we will ‘use puppets in our lectures, ” she said. ” We have to rig up a special stage and dress the puppets.

They have been used now in Sydney for some time and are immensely popular with the kiddies. ”

Miss Jenkins said there were now 36 women in the N.S.W. Police Force, 18 in uniform and 18 in plain clothes. This was the maximum number allowed and had been specified by an Act of Parliament.

Bus Disturbance Case Part Heard

Circumstances surrounding a disturbance in a picture bus returning from Lithgow to Cullen Bullen on March 14 were outlined in yesterday’s court when a young Blackman’s Flat man faced four charges.

Before the court was Eric Lane, who, pleaded not guilty to charges of assault, malicious damage to two bus windows valued at £5, behaving in an offensive manner in a bus and maliciously injuring a sports coat valued at £7.

The case remained part heard after lengthy evidence for the prosecution had been given and was set down for resumption next Tuesday.

John Robert McGregor Collins, bus driver, of 45 Main-street West, an employee of Eric Newham Bus Service, told the court he was driving a crowded bus down Main-street at 11.20 p.m. on March 14 when a number of people called out to him to stop the bus and open the automatic doors. He did so and, amid considerable noise, a number of standing passengers surged out of the bus. ” They scrambled over one another to get out, ” Collins said. ” I did not see anything, but Marjoram came down to me and said he wanted to give Lane in charge.” Collins added he drove to Dunn’s corner, locked the bus door to prevent anyone getting out and asked his employer to ring for the police.

Walter Stanley Marjoram, of Marrangaroo, a shiftman employed at the State Mine, victim of the alleged assault, said in evidence he had been to the Trades Hall pictures and, with his wife and daughter, aged 13, he went to the back of the bus. His wife obtained a seat and his, daughter was being nursed while he stood. He noticed a second vacant seat and Marjoram said he told a girl who was also standing that there was a seat for her. ” There was a chap sitting there, occupying about two-thirds of the seat for two people and, after I stood for a while, I decided I might as well have a seat, Marjoram said. ” I went to where defendant was sitting and put my hand down to move his legs. He moved them a little and I sat down. ”

Wanted Seat, Not Fight

Marjoram detailed a conversation he then had in which he claimed Lane asked him if he thought he was smart but he said he did not want to fight, he merely wanted some of the seat. ” He kept arguing and got up and said ‘ come outside and I’ll fix you’, ” Marjoram added. ” He then sat down again and said ” if you don’t shut up I’ll job you. ” I said ‘good-oh’ and he jumped up, pushed me back into the seat and hit me about five or six times about the forehead. ” Marjoram said he was dazed by the punches and had to have two stitches in a wound above the right eye. Afterwards he noticed that the bus windows were broken, that his sports coat was torn an his other clothes covered with blood.

Marjoram said he had lost three days from work as a result of the incident and lost an additional two days while attending court. He had thus lost five days’ work at £3/6/-per day.

Evidence of having gone to Dunns Corner and arresting Lane was given by Constables Cliff Love ( Clifford Stanley LOVE # 4958 ) and Raymond James Smith ( # 5632 ).

They said Lane admitted punching Marjoram who, he claimed, was ” trying to stand over him. ”

‘Lane added Marjoram had grabbed his legs and attempted to pull them off the seat.

Both police witnesses said that Lane admitted breaking one window, but claimed the other was already cracked.

Mr. J. Le Fevre appeared for Lane.

Hammering On Cell Doors Not Unusual

It was the usual thing for prisoners under the influence of liquor to hammer on the cell doors, a police constable said during a traffic hearing in this week’s court.

The policeman, Const. Raymond James Smith, said that sometimes they “got sick of it” and sometimes they “kept it up.”

Const. Smith was giving evidence in a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor against Cecil John Green of South Bowenfels.

Defendant, who was at present on a bond in relation to a similar offence, was fined £20 by Mr. C. K. Ward, S.M., and was told by the magistrate that he was fortunate in not being gaoled.

Through Mr. I. Higgins defendant pleaded not guilty to having driven a car in Main-street whilst under the influence of liquor on August 30.

Principal witness was Sergt John Talbot Parkinson ( # ???? ), who told the court he was a passenger in the police truck, driven by Const. Peisley, ( # 6890 ) at 4.30 p.m. on August 30, when he saw defendant drive a vehicle from a parked position. ” We were travelling west along Main-street and defendant drove a motor car from the eastern side of the street near Lithgow street,” the police officer said.

Claimed Defendant Stumbled From Car

He alleged defendant did not give a hand signal and drove on approximately the centre of the roadway. At the intersection defendant made a wide left hand turn and entered Lithgow-street on the incorrect side, swerved suddenly back to the correct side and again back to the centre of the street, Sergt. Parkinson said.

Defendant was then halted and told to alight, which he did by stumbling out of the car. “I told him to stand away from the car and he released his grip of the door and stood swaying violently on his feet. ” Defendant, who said he had three beers, smelt strongly of intoxicating liquor, his speech was very thick and he could not articulate his words,” witness said.

Collided With Door Post

He added that defendant had to be assisted up the Police Station steps as his condition had deteriorated and he was in danger of falling. Going through the door defendant had collided with the door post. He had asked for Dr. Doutreband, but that doctor was not available.

Stating that he had 27 years experience as a police officer, Sergt. Parkinson said in his opinion, defendant was in an advanced state of being under the influence of intoxicating liquor.

Corroborative evidence was given by Const. W. R. Peisley ( William ‘Bill’ PEISLEY # 6890 ), who, in cross-examination, said he did not know defendant had subsequently seen Dr. Doutreband after his release.

When he received the charge against defendant Const. Smith, who was on duty as station constable, said he smelt a strong smell of intoxicating liquor about defendant.

“Defendant appeared to be considerably affected by intoxicating liquor,” Const. Smith added.

In lengthy cross-examination Const. Smith said he visited the cells after defendant had been lodged there.

Heard Him Fall To Ground

“When I was opening the door I heard defendant hammering on the other side and just as I opened the door I heard him fall to the ground ” Const. Smith said.

Mr. Ward over-ruled an objection by the prosecutor to this line of questioning. Mr. Higgins stating that his client had never been told that Dr. Doutreband would not be coming and that he was clamoring and asking for a doctor.

Const. Smith denied there had been an conversation in the cells about a doctor.

When bailed out at 8.15 pm defendant was not under the influence, Const Smith added.

Re-examined by the prosecutor, Const Smith said he heard defendant hammering on the cell doors ” a considerable time ” before he visited him at seven o’clock. Mr. Higgins said his client did not wish to give evidence.

Sgt. C. G. Bush ( # 3831 ), police prosecutor, said defendant was still serving a three years’ bond which had more than two years to run.

Mr. Higgins submitted that his client was a man who worked exceptionally hard in the bush and was a married man with a wife and three children to support.

Was Considering Gaol Sentence

” I realise there is a grave breach of the law here, but I ask Your Worship to make the penalty pecuniary, otherwise there will be great hardship to his wife and family.” the solicitor said. There was no evidence that anyone had been endangered by defendant’s driving, he added.

Mr. Ward said it appeared defendant was very much under the influence of liquor and probably had more liquor than he was prepared to admit to police. “I was considering sending him to gaol, but in view of your representations, I will make it a fine,” the magistrate told Mr. Higgins.

Defendant was given one month to pay the fine of £20.

Email received from Jack’s daughter – Lynne on 30 June 2020.

Good morning,

I can’t help but be impressed with the respect you all have for each other even though dad retired around 36 years ago.

Inspector Scott Smith and six Police Officers from Mt Druitt took the time to attend the West Chapel at Pinegrove to honour dad and my mother Janet, Friday 26th June 2020. Family and friends were touched by the tribute and some footage and photos are available.

Dad was devoted to my mum (retired nurse/midwife) who had a stroke in 2010 that affected her right side and speech. Dad maintained the family home and spent every day (unless unwell) with mum. He decided in January this year to sell the home to spend more time with mum. He had a few health issues but was on the mend. He had a strength and determination you had to admire, no excuses.

He passed away peacefully in his sleep early in the morning on Sunday 21st June 2020 close to his loving wife of 65 years.

I have two photos that we used at the service of the graduation of the class of 1952. It was taken at the Penrith academy and they were found when preparing the Braidwood and Schofields properties for sale.

I will soon email them to you and Jody McLeod for your records.

I have another early picture of dad in what appears his motor cycle uniform. A few photos later in his career on his bike and in his uniform at Wagga Wagga with a departmental just before he retired on the 8th September 1984. There is a photo taken at his send off where he was presented with two plaques, one a hand made copper plaque and other memorabilia.

There are more photos and slides to go through and if I locate any that may be of interest to your group I will forward them to you.

I am custodian of his long service good conduct medal which was presented to him by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam who had gone out of his way to congratulate Dad and shake his hand.

I was not aware of his commendation through the fires and if it was written I hope I locate it as I still have some personal items to sift through.

I have his trade certificate, Discharge from the Police Force and other certificates and happy to share if it is of interest.

When stationed at Parramatta he assisted the army at Windsor through the catastrophic floods.

I recall some of his time at Liverpool Police Station through the mid to late 70s and I would often visit him there on my way home from work.

He was on duty at Liverpool ( Feb ) 1977 when the train derailed at Granville and Mum was a nurse at Fairfield where many of the casualties were taken. ( If Jack was stationed at Liverpool in Feb 1977 then his timeline of station attachments must be wrong. Cal )

Dad was proud of his years in the force and valued the mateship. He retired at 55 to spend time and travel around the state with mum in their van and later a Winnebago.

Kind regards

Lynne Bak

nee Bailey

Coroner Told Nine Trams Passed Man

The City Coroner, Mr. F. L. McNamara, was told yesterday that a man had lain for 30 to 45 minutes with a broken hipbone at the corner of Oxford and Moncur Streets, Waverley, while nine or 10 trams passed him.

Mr. McNamara found that the man, Arthur Reginald Townsend, of Nelson Street, Woollahra, had died accidentally at St. Vincent’s Hospital on February 26 from shock following an operation for a fractured femur, accidentally received when he fell from a moving tram on February 24.

He said: “I find it almost impossible to believe that no person saw the unfortunate deceased lying on the ground during the half to three quarters of an hour he must have been there.”

Constable Claude Richardson, of Paddington Police Station, said Townsend had told him he was getting off at Moncur Street and had one foot on the ground when the tram started off and he fell over.

Townsend had added: “The tram didn’t stop and I lay there while about nine or 10 trams went past before anybody came to my assistance.”

Hey Greg, just to let you know that mum passed away on Friday, at 22:10

Us 5 girls have been with her all day every day and all day with our children as well on Friday, as we knew time was growing shorter.
Mum was resting peacefully, probably hearing us all around her, chatter and recalling older days.
One grandson was reading out the crossword puzzle clues as we all tried to guess the answers.
It was, I suppose, an early birthday gathering for mum because she would have turned 89 next Sunday, July 28.
Debbie and Louise had planned to stay the night… we all wanted to but that was impossible.
We all slowly left through the night, one by one, with plans to return in the morning, as mum’s breathing was steady.
She was given morphine every four hours to help her rest and breathe easily, which she was.
There was no change until the last person left, leaving Debbie and Louise to settle in for the night.
3 minutes later mum’s breathing began to slow down. Minutes later she quietly slipped away,
Debbie and Louise were by her side, gently talking to her, telling her to go to Dad as they held her hands.
They said she was very, very peaceful,.
I really believe that she was waiting for us to go so she could go with dad.
On Thursday I sat by her bedside and held her hand for 9 hours. Whispering to her come by letting her know that I was not going anywhere. We were all taking it in shifts.
Every time I went to pull my hand away, just to change position, she would squeeze my hand. She knew I was there and I am just so glad I was there.Greg, all the laughs you had with mum and dad through the years and when you were patrolling with Wayne, the whole Shaw household loved your presence… except for my dog.

Thank you for your kind words too.
You are right.
Mum has been without dad for so long now.
25 years in fact!
I imagine she has gone rushing back to dad’s arms….. free from her poor old body.

WEDDING OF POLICEMAN, POLICEWOMAN

Seventy yards of billowing tulle and exquisite Chantilly lace, worn over slipper satin, went into the beautiful bridal gown, which Eileen Patricia Wilson wore at her marriage to Cecil Alfred Shaw, in St, Patrick’s Catholic Church, Parramatta.

Both bride and groom are members of the N.S.W. Police Force.

Eileen, who is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Wilson, of Blaxcell Street, Granville, was attached to the school lecturing division, Bourke Street, Darlinghurst.

Cecil, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Shaw, is a member of No. 22 Division, Liverpool.

Eileen’s bridal gown, together with the maid’s frock, fashioned by her friend, Mrs. E. Hawke, of Granville, featured a lace-fitted bodice, long sleeves and a lace draped apron front, continued to the back and finishing with a bustle bow and two hemline tails. The tulle skirt was cut with an eight foot train. Her short, four-tiered veil was held by a crown of lily of-the-valley.

Large camellias, surrounded by white hyacinths, comprised the bridal bouquet.

Josephine Anne Wilson, her only attendant, wore a full-length frock of salmon flecked nylon, with a plain salmon nylon apron front and bustle bow. She wore a halo of tuber roses in her hair.

Best man was Bernard Russell Shaw, the groom’s brother.

One hundred guests were received at ” Westella, ” Auburn, Lilac Ballroom, by Mrs. Wilson, who chose a blue figured nylon frock, topped with a blue and white coat.

Mrs. Shaw chose a lemon romaine beaded frock and black accessories.

The bride changed for her Coolangatta honeymoon in to a champagne, sculptured nylon frock, over which she wore a powder-blue velvet coat and a small matching petal hat.
