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

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.

This Member also had a football career with Canterbury and the Newtown Jets.

He first started out with Randwick Rugby Union Club making First Grade in 1955 as a winger.

In 1958 he turned his hand to Rugby League playing for Canterbury Bankstown – Berrys.

Newtown Blue Bags in 1961 and played two seasons.

Dog rewarded for past tricks

A LOCAL Dog is proud to have received a reward for his past tricks.

A LOCAL Dog is proud to have received a reward for his past tricks.

This 73-year-old Dog once ran, passed a ball and tackled, too.

Ken Rowlands, from Lennox Head, is the former Canterbury Bankstown Rugby League Club player who on April 1 was one of about 200 past footballers given a medallion to mark their service to the team.

Ken played about 70 first-grade games for the Bulldogs from 1958 to 1961 ? but they were called the Berries back in those days.

He played in the centres and on the wing.

At the official function held before the Bulldogs’ game at Telstra Stadium, he was rubbing shoulders with rugby league greats Dr George Peponis, Steve Mortimer, Chris Anderson, Terry Lamb and Graeme Hughes.

“It was a wonderful day,” he said.

“It was like a reunion.”

Ken had just finished his probationary term in the NSW police force when he was approached by Ken ‘Tank’ Charlton to join the club.

He was 24 years old.

Ken was playing rugby union with Randwick at the time, and had taken up his first posting to the Belmore ‘call box’ located at the suburban railway station.

He made the switch to league and went on to play with the Berries and the Newtown Jets.

Meanwhile, Ken’s son, Andrew, is currently playing professional rugby union with the Basingstoke club in the United Kingdom.

Andrew is a former Ballina junior, and has been playing in the UK for the past two years.

Bob was a man who loved his game fishing and he was good at it. A favourite fishing recollection seems appropriate. The 2003 Tollgates Tournament (Batemans Bay) saw Bob and his ‘Elusive’ crew (Larry Barnes, Peter Kastelein, Hayden Neal and myself) frustrated after the first two days that having tagged a few fish we were still out of the running in our preferred Tag and Release category. A couple of other boats had really got among them. We agreed to we spend the final (third) day trying to encourage a marlin that might earn us the Biggest Game Fish trophy. The morning spent fishing in the local Bay waters proved fruitless so we half threw-in-the-towel and headed north back home to Ulladulla. Of course as game boats do, we continued dragging a pattern of lures. We were off Brush Island when Bob twigged that we were in particularly good water temperature and he decided to work in this warm water for a while. What a good call that proved to be. A big blue marlin hooked up and we got it into the boat. We were then in a quandary. It was a trophy fish, but we were a lot closer by then to Ulladulla than to Batemans Bay where the fish needed be weighed-in. How were we going to get the fish back to the weigh station before the tournament closing time? Another good Bob Muir call. Power home to Ulladulla; unload the fish onto a trailer; and drive it back to the Bay. This we did. The reaction of many motorists on the Princes Highway to a box trailer with a monster marlin hanging out of it might be imagined. What might also be imagined was the reaction from other tournament crews to this fish being backed up to the weigh station in a trailer only minutes before the tournament closed. Despite the sideways glances of some other competitors, unconventional practice or not, our fish was accepted as a legitimate entry, and at 218 kg it took the trophy. Bob will get another laugh out of this. Thanks Larry Barnes for helping me with this. Brian Koorey

Sergeant Stone Family Appeal.
On New Year’s day, ( 1 January 2023 ) the Blue Mountains Police Rescue Squad lost one of their most respected rescue operators. Sgt Stone was killed rescuing his son from a rip on the state’s far south coast.
Sergeant Stone was not only a much loved Rescue Operator with the squad but also a General Duties Sergeant with the Blue Mountains Police area Command. From coordinating large scale, multi-agency search and rescue operations to mentoring a junior staff member, he would give freely of his time even if he didn’t have the time to give.
He leaves behind a wife and a young family.
The NSW Police Legacy has set up a fundraising page to assist Sgt Stone’s family.
All funds raised will be used to help ease the financial burden on the family during this difficult time, and provide ongoing support for their future.
Any contribution that you can make is greatly appreciated.

The man who died while rescuing a teenager caught in a rip on the state’s south coast has been identified as a serving NSW Police officer.
Sergeant Peter Stone, aged 44, drowned after rescuing his 14-year-old son at a beach near Narooma on Sunday (1 January 2023).
Sgt Stone attested in December 2000 and was most recently performing duties at Blue Mountains Police Area Command, which included specialist rescue operations.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb extended condolences to Peter’s family and friends.
“Sergeant Stone was well-liked by all those who knew him, and we are not surprised by his selfless actions,” Commissioner Webb said.
“His death is a tragic loss to the NSW Police Force and my thoughts are with Peter’s wife, family, friends and colleagues during this terribly sad time.”
Blue Mountains Police Area Commander, Superintendent Don Faulds, said Peter was exceptional man, a brilliant operator and will be dearly missed.
“Peter had dedicated his professional life to helping the community and had a real passion for rescue operations, particularly here in the rugged mountain terrain,” Supt Faulds said.
“He was always quick – if not first – to offer his help or assistance around the command and his colleagues considered him a mate.
“As we mourn our mate, we acknowledge the loss of a husband, father and hero.”
Sgt Stone’s family has requested the media continue to respect their privacy at this time.

 


Tragedy as off-duty police officer dies after rescuing son at Narooma beach

The police officer helped his son out of a rip before getting into trouble himself.

An off-duty police officer who died after saving his son, who got into trouble in the water at an unpatrolled beach on the NSW south coast, has been identified.

Peter Stone, 45, went to rescue his 14-year-old son after he got caught in a rip at Bogola Beach, near Narooma, on New Year’s Day.

He was able to help the boy out of the water before he became caught in the rip.

He was pulled from the water unconscious.

Paramedics were called to the beach about 1.30pm and performed CPR on him, but he could not be saved.

The family had been on holiday in the area and the man’s wife was at the beach at the time of the incident.

The man has been identified as a sergeant with the NSW Police Force, attached to the Blue Mountains Police Area Command.

Stone attested in December 2000 and his duties included specialist rescue operations.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb extended condolences to Stone’s family and friends.

“Sergeant Stone was well liked by all those who knew him, and we are not surprised by his selfless actions,” Webb said.

“His death is a tragic loss to the NSW Police Force and my thoughts are with Peter’s wife, family, friends and colleagues during this terribly sad time.”

Blue Mountains Police Area Commander, Superintendent Don Faulds, said Stone would be dearly missed.

“Peter had dedicated his professional life to helping the community and had a real passion for rescue operations, particularly here in the rugged mountain terrain,” Faulds said.

“He was always quick – if not first – to offer his help or assistance around the command and his colleagues considered him a mate.

“As we mourn our mate, we acknowledge the loss of a husband, father and hero.”

Tragic rescue

Acting Inspector Paul Hoyer said the rip was “quite substantial”.

“This is a tragedy that will cut through to the family, his friends, his work mates,” Hoyer told reporters on Monday.

“It’s devastating at this time of the year.”

Hoyer said the South Coast, which is a popular tourist destination, was busy at this time of the year.

He warned people should be careful when heading out on the roads and going to beaches.

“If you do want to go to the beach, swim between the flags at a patrolled beach,” he said.

Local police are investigating the incident and will prepare a report for the coroner.

Any witnesses or those with information about the officer’s death are urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

New South Wales police officer Sergeant Peter Stone remembered as ‘selfless’ hero after drowning while saving son

By Heath Parkes-Hupton

Posted 

A New South Wales police officer — who drowned while saving his son from a rip on the state’s south coast — has been remembered as a “hero” who was skilled in rescue operations.

Sergeant Peter Stone died after being swept out to sea north of Bogola Head, south of Narooma on New Year’s Day.

The 44-year-old had entered the water at a secluded beach to rescue his son, 14, from a strong rip just before 1:30pm.

He managed to push his son to safety but Sergeant Stone did not survive, despite the efforts of lifesavers, who performed CPR.

Sergeant Stone — who was off-duty at the time — joined the force in 2000 and was most recently attached to the Blue Mountains police command, where he performed specialist rescue operations.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb offered her condolences to Sergeant Stone’s friends and family.

“Sergeant Stone was well-liked by all those who knew him, and we are not surprised by his selfless actions,” she said.

“His death is a tragic loss to the New South Wales Police Force and my thoughts are with Peter’s wife, family, friends and colleagues during this terribly sad time.”

Blue Mountains police commander Superintendent Don Faulds said Sergeant Stone was considered a mate and hero to his colleagues.

“Peter had dedicated his professional life to helping the community and had a real passion for rescue operations, particularly here in the rugged mountain terrain,” he said.

“He was always quick — if not first — to offer his help or assistance around the command and his colleagues considered him a mate.

“As we mourn our mate, we acknowledge the loss of a husband, father and hero.”

On Monday, Surf Life Saving NSW chief Steven Pearce said Sergeant Stone’s actions had saved his son.

“Heroically, he was able to assist [the boy] out of danger, out of the rip, but he himself remained in the rip and submerged in front of witnesses,” Mr Pearce said.

It has been the busiest summer period for lifesavers in three years, with thousands flocking to New South Wales beaches over the holidays, free of COVID-19 restrictions.

More than 1,000 rescues have been performed so far this summer, according to Surf Life Saving NSW president George Sales.
