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.

ALSO be aware that ZOOM “meetings” are NOT usually viewable AFTER that “meeting” / Funeral Service – so they have to be viewed LIVE.

Unfortunately I will be in hospital on Thursday and won’t be in a position to ‘record’ the funeral service so that it may be kept for future viewing – thus, if anyone would ‘record’ the service for me – so that it may be attached to Joy’s Memorial Post – I would be much appreciative.     Cal@AustralianPolice.com.au

No details about George’s death can be found via Google other than a Live Stream of his funeral Service – as attached above.

There is a George SARRIS mentioned as having Resigned, as an Inspector with the Department of Consumer Affairs on the 28 March 1985.

 


 

Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1931 – 1954),

Tuesday 12 May 1953, page 12

Nightclub date was wrong

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.
