Student, 11, dies in cabin fire

By PETER CLACK,

Police Reporter

‘ A Victorian teacher struggled heroically to drag ‘two 11-year-old schoolboys from a blazing cabin at Sutton near the ACT border early yesterday morning after an air-conditioner burst into flames.

One Melbourne student died in the fire and another was rescued and airlifted to the Royal Childen’s Hospital, Melbourne, with burns to 100 per cent of his body. A hospital spokesman said the boy was in a critical condition in intensive care.

The teacher, Con Boukouvalas, one of several teachers accompanying 90 Victorian school children from two schools, went to the aid of seven boys in the cabin at White Ibis Tourist Village and Caravan Park.

He had heard screams for help about 12.30am.

NSW Police said the air-conditioner and the aluminium cabin had been well alight, but Mr Boukouvalas had ignored the danger.

As he pulled one boy free, he received burns to his arms, neck and back. He tried in vain to save the second boy but he was forced back by the flames and the heat.

The dead boy is Micah Akkerman, 11, and the injured boy is Nicholas Balgue, 11, both of Kew East Public School, Melbourne.

A NSW Police and NSW Fire Brigade investigators were at the scene yesterday searching for clues to the cause of the fire to submit to the NSW Coroner.

Sergeant John Dagwell said the fire occurred about 12.35pm in a cabin occupied by seven students from Kew East Public School. Five of the boys were not injured.

They had told police they were talking when one boy who wanted to smoke turned on the air-conditioner which burst into flames.

” It was soon engulfed in flames and two boys were trapped inside the cabin,” Sergeant Dagwell said.

White Ibis assistant manager Paul Porcherom said he was awoken about 12.45am but the ACT Fire Brigade had already been called.

He said the students were on an excursion and had been at the park for two days.

The rest of the school party returned home yesterday and Victorian Education Department counsellors were sent to the NSW border to meet them.

The injured boy was flown by the NSW Air Ambulance to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne.

A spokesman for Victorian Education Minister Don Hayward said the counsellors had gone to Albury on the NSW-Victoria border to meet the remainder of the children being driven home today.

“In any sort of tragedy like this we immediately offer the help of counsellors to help victims cope,” he said.

Department counsellors were also reported to have gone to Kew East Primary School in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs to talk with parents and students.

Motorcyclist collides with XPT

A motorcyclist who collided with the XPT train at the Burbong crossing, Kings Highway, at 7.35am yesterday was in a serious but stable condition last night in Royal Canberra Hospital, Sergeant John Dagwell of the Queanbeyan police said yesterday.

Mr Richard Stone, 22, of Braidwood, who was travelling towards Queanbeyan at the time of the accident, suffered a serious injury to his right arm. He was taken to Royal Canberra Hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit.

At 7.50am, Mr Antonio Carnovalle, 51, of Queanbeyan, suffered serious head injuries when he fell almost five metres from scaffolding at a building site in Mowatt Street, Queanbeyan, Sergeant Dagwell said.

A constable said yesterday he had signed an antedated order form for liquor at the Roosevelt nightclub.

The constable, George Sarris, of the Vice Squad, was giving evidence in Central Court against Victor Sidney Vernon, 33, waiter, of Liverpool Street, Paddington.

Vernon admitted having, at the Roosevelt nightclub on March 18, sold three bottle’s of beer to Constable Sarris for 18/6.

Constable Sarris said when he asked Vernon for a drink Vernon took him to the office and asked him to sign an order form dated March 16.

He signed the form and Vernon sold him the beer.

Mr. Stewart, S.M., fined Vernon £30.

POLICEMAN GAVE A FALSE NAME

A constable who obtained liquor at about 12.30am at the Roosevelt Restaurant, Potts Point, on March 18, told the Licensing Court today that he had given a false name and address, and had made a false statement to secure the liquor.

The constable, George Sarris ( Headquarters ), was giving evidence against Roosevelt manager, Ronald Aljo Middlin, 36, of Beach Rd, Bondi, who is charged with being the manager of the restaurant when it was open for the sale of liquor, not then holding a licence.

Constable Sarris said that he had gone to the restaurant on instructions, had filled in a predated order form, and a waiter named Vernon had supplied him with two bottles of beer for which he paid 12/-.

Later he bought another bottle for 6/6.

“Single sinner”

Mr. McDonald ( for Middlin ) argued that the purpose of the Liquor Act was that “a single sinner may be forgiven.”

In this case, there was no evidence of continued offences and, he said, the case should be dismissed.

Middlin said he was appointed manager of the Roosevelt when Stattler and Co. Pty. Ltd. took it over, in March.

He was given instructions in writing that under no circumstances was he to commit a breach of the Liquor Act, and he passed on these instructions to the staff.

Middlin said he told his staff to give two bottles of beer “with the compliments of the house” to customers who did not have an order.

Mr. Stewart, SM, dismissed the charge.

Man Fined On Liquor Charge

 

Mr. R. M. Stewart, S.M., fined Frank Placko, 22, labourer, of Hopewell Street, Paddington, £10 in the Licensing Court yesterday for selling beer at 161 Castlereagh Street on July 25 without a licence.

Constable George Sarris, of the Vice Squad, said that he bought two bottles of beer from a man on the first floor of 161 Castlereagh Street.

Sergeant William Dickson, of the Vice Squad, said that a man named Keher had told him that the Slovak Association was holding a dance there.

Placko said that he was working at the dance voluntarily. He had thought Constable Sarris was of Hungarian nationality, and a member of the club.

A charge against Anton Keher, 34, labourer, of Chalmers Street, Sydney, of having the management of a room used for selling liquor without a licence was dismissed.

Deepest condolences to Mick’s family, friends and colleagues.

I worked with Mick, on GDs, at Fairfield Police Station in the late 1970s – very early 1980s and remember his Raucous laugh.

He was a lot of fun to work with and just a funny bastard to be with and his ‘comb over’ his thinning hair – would never stay in place.

May you Forever Rest In Peace old mate.

 

Cal ” Uncle Charlie ”


 

Mick was one of the first Life Members inducted into 22 Division ( Liverpool ) Police Rugby League. He loved his Police footy and was happy to hear about your success before his passing.  Go the Bulls.

Greg Sweeney.


 

Prior to joining the NSWPF, Mick was employed at a Pastry cook for 7 years, 2 months and a Confectioner for 8 months and was a fully qualified pastry cook.

Although he was widely known as Mick – his Christian name was actually Hugh ( and it is Hugh SWEENEY that he went by on his application to join the NSWPF ).

He was described as 5′ 11″ tall, weighing 12 stone, with Hazel eyes, Fair complexion & Fair hair ( I wonder if it was as thin back in 1960 ? ).

He was Married at the time.

He obtained, at completion of Training Class 85A, a mark of 54%.

He could type, on the 15 June 1961, 20 W.P.M.

He completed the three day course in Civil Defence in January 1962.


 

In June, 1973, SenCon Mick Sweeney was attending a motor vehicle accident on the Camden Valley Way, Leppington, near the Leppington Lawn Cemetery, at night and in a dark patch or roadway, when he was struck by a passing vehicle.

At the time, Camden Valley Way was a sealed roadway with gravel edges, one lane each way and very poorly lit – and similar to an outback country road.

The impact caused him to be thrown a fair distance through the air, landing on the roadway in his head.

Mick received serious head and other body injuries which were life threatening at the time.

He was hospitalised at Liverpool for 10 days before a miraculous recovery and he then returned to work.

He Retired in 1991 whilst attached to Merrylands Police Station.

 

In March 1974, SenCon Mick Sweeney and Cst Peter Gould ( # 15542 ), attended a factory at Green Valley and removed a 4 foot red belly black snake.

The Constables managed to get the snake into a cardboard box and conveyed the confined snake back to Liverpool Police Station.

There, the snake escaped from the box, causing staff to head for higher ground.

Some jumped onto tables, chairs and counters to escape the snake.

It then took a brace and courageous Senior Constable Roger BERGAMIN ( #10682 ) to capture the slim 4 foot snake with a stick and return it to the box and seal it.

I can imagine the raucous laughing going on.

Police show solidarity against domestic violence

Mary (not her real name) spoke with the Daily Liberal yesterday about her three decades of violence she suffered at the hands of her partner before she went to the police.

She had noticed police wearing white ribbons outside the Dubbo Police Station and decided to share her story.

“Women have to start standing up for themselves,” she said.

Mary said some of the injuries she had suffered in her abusive relationship had been fractures to her nose, jaw, arm and ribs.

“Domestic violence is in the community but women are not coming forward and letting the police know,” she said.

“They need to come forward now, not wait like I waited for 32 years.”

Mary said she believed White Ribbon Day was a good initiative to bring public attention to the issue of domestic violence.

Recently she has begun working to help others affected.

“I have worked with domestic violence victims for the last two years,” she said.

“I have seen both sides.”

White ribbons were worn on the shirts of every Dubbo police officer yesterday as they took a stance against domestic violence.

Orana Local Area Command (LAC) duty officer Inspector Brad Edwards said Dubbo police had handed out many white ribbons to raise awareness of the day and answered questions about the day from members of the public.

“I think it is very important that society realises there is no excuse for violence against women,” he said.

“The fact that it still happens today is pathetic.”

“We know the statistics from on the job experience.”

Dubbo police and their colleagues across NSW all took a pledge against violence against women and wore white ribbons in a show of solidarity across the state.

Brad EDWARDS
Acting senior sergeant Brad Edwards

Would your parents like their property damaged,” Senior sergeant tells children

Wellington police sergeant Brad Edwards has told children at Wellington Public School he and his officers are pushing up the ante on young children aged from nine to 13 throwing rocks.

“I am very upset children in the town are throwing rocks.

“A lot of people have had their car windows smashed. It has cost them more than $50,000,” he said.

“These are parked cars near the railway line, people’s roofs, their houses and they are upset their property is being damaged. Would your parents like their property damaged,” he asked the children.

“I want to get them, take them to the magistrate and lock them up.

“We have cameras now everywhere, hidden from view, monitoring these children. We will lock up these people.” he added.

He warned the children police were answering the community’s plea for the rock throwing incidents to stop.

“Tell your parents, tell your teachers when you see them doing these things,” he said.

Children in the crowd at the school said their parents had been victims of the latest outbreak of vandalism.

“My mum had the back window of her car smashed by a rock,” one child told the class.

“It was so badly damaged mum had to buy a new car.

“There is a hole in our window from people throwing rocks,” another said.

Children said slingshots with rocks were being aimed at people and cars.

“A slingshot is no different to a gun, it injures people and they may die.

“It’s an illegal weapon,” Sgt Edwards said.

The officer also told children social media site Facebook was an ineffective measure in countering the rock throwers and other incidents.

“Don’t go on Facebook and bully people. Turn it off. Don’t gossip and target people,” he said.

The sergeant also said children seen on school grounds during holidays will be prosecuted.

“I went to this primary school but I didn’t want to come back during the holidays,” he said.
