Crowdy Harrington Marine Rescue
The unit’s previous unit commander, Bek Brown decided to step down from her position at the last meeting. Deputy unit commander, Leon Elelman is now promoted to unit commander and Cheryl Rowe is promoted to deputy unit commander.
The Crowdy Harrington unit thanked Bek for all her hard work over the last 18 months as unit commander and wish her all the very best in future endeavours.
The unit also congratulated Leon and Cheryl in obtaining their new positions and wished them every success in their new roles.

It’s out with the old and in with the new. Crowdy Harrington Marine Rescue has welcomed two, new emergency vehicles to their ranks on the back of a grant and fundraising efforts.
The organisation received $72,000 from the Emergency Volunteer Support Scheme that was put towards the purchase of the vehicles.
Further fundraising efforts completed the purchase and ensured the vehicles could be fitted with required accessories such as a toolbox, canopy, roof racks, electric brakes and tow package.
Unit commander Bek Brown said the vehicles are a crucial asset to the crew’s operations.
“They’re vital for training, meetings, fundraising and transporting fuel to the boat,” Bek said.
One of the key roles for the new ute is to transport a large fuel tank to the rescue boat.
“After each rescue, the tank needs to be refueled,” Bek said.
The vehicles were picked up from Mid Coast Automotive Group earlier this week after Marine Rescue livery was completed.
Crew members have said goodbye to an outdated land cruiser and an obsolete ute. They have each clocked up more than 350,000 kilometres.
The land cruiser joined the Crowdy Harrington family before the new millennium while the ute dates back to when Paul Keating was Prime Minister.
“They’ve served their purpose,” Bek said.
Deputy unit commander Leon Elelman said the rescue crew has come a long way in the last decade.
He said changes to the command, fresh ideas and a strong effort from volunteers has created a tight knit group.
“We’re like a big family,” he said.
You couldn’t wipe the smile off his face when talking about what the new vehicles bring to the table.
“It’s a boost to morale,” Leon said.
The organisation is the eyes on the water between Diamond Head and Black Head.
As a volunteer group, they welcome all funds and assistance. About three-quarters of funds held by the organisation are raised by members.
To find out more about the crew or to donate, visit www.mrch.org.au or call 6556 1564.

Brett Emerton boots from the 2006 FIFA World Cup to be auctioned
19 Apr 10 @ 11:38am by David Campbell
A PIECE of Australian soccer history will be up for grabs at Ingleburn next month.
Ingleburn Rotary Club is holding a fundraising event at Sweeney’s Function Centre where a pair of Socceroo and local hero Brett Emerton’s football boots from the 2006 FIFA World Cup will be auctioned.
Emerton, a former Gunners player and Macquarie Fields High School student, is expected to be a part of the Australian team at this year’s World Cup in South Africa.
All funds raised on the evening will go towards the PCYC’s Burn Rubber Burn program, which helps people in wheelchairs develop training regimes.
Ingleburn Rotary Club president Leon Elelman encouraged people to support the evening.
“The boots were made for Brett at the last World cup and are only one of six pairs in existence.”
A similar pair of Emerton’s boots sold for about $2000 recently.

Assuming that the date of commencing training and the date of being ‘Sworn In’ are both correct – it seems strange that he was not ‘Sworn In’ at the age of 19 unless he had left the Cadets at some stage and rejoined as a Trainee around the age of 24.

STEWART is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance *NEED MORE INFO
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
Our Volunteer in Policing Mr Stewart Thompson has hit some career highlights in his years. Stewart is 81 years of age, yet attends the NSW Mounted Police every Tuesday to assist with the Tour Groups and in the Museum. He rises at 4:30am in summer and 5:30am in winter, to feed his 16 horses, before boarding a train to the city, where he imparts his knowledge of our unit to the community.
For an 81 year old, Stewart does pretty well. He still rides each week and is in charge of the A Troop Richmond, Windsor as part of the Australian Light Horse. He runs his own museum, which is open to members of the public, displaying a plethora of both police and Australian Light Horse memorabilia.
Stewart joined NSWMP ( Mounted Police ) in 1955 and was stationed at Bellbrook Police Station in 1958. He was the last Mounted Officer at an outstation, when in July 1961 the Land Rover replaced the horse at Bellbrook.
Stewart continued his police service at Kurindi and Katoomba and resigned from the Police in 1969.
Stewart then rejoined the Australian Army (where he was stationed at Ingleburn prior to his Mounted Police service) and he served in the New Guinea Army.
We wish Stewart and his wife Joan, a very happy celebration of 60 years of marriage next year! A fantastic milestone for a wonderful couple.
Stewart – in uniform
In opposition to the above information about ‘Stewarts’ Policing service – which was obtained from the Police Mounted Unit; upon his death, NSWPF advertised that ‘Stewart’ was performing duties at Katoomba at the time of his disengagement on 7 November 1955, completing 13 years service with NSW Police Force.
The 1968 ‘Stud Book’ clearly shows J.R.S. Thompson, DOB: 8 April 1934 having been ‘Sworn In’ as a Probationary Constable on the 7 November 1955 and obtaining the Rank of Senior Constable on the 7 November 1966. As of 1968 he had qualified for a promotion to Sergeant 3rd Class but had Resigned, in 1969, prior to obtaining that Rank.
He does NOT appear in the 1969 ‘Stud Book’ which also verifies this data.
Unable to find any further information on Stewart – either Military, Private or Police, than what is above.

My Dad
As most of you know I grew up with my grandparents; they were my mum and dad to me, from day one and that’s what I called them always and I was a proud daughter.
This morning at 4am TJ, my dad, and my only hero, hung his guitar up for the last time.
I’m beyond broken. My whole world is empty without you Dad.
I felt a river flowing from my heart that I will one day learn to hold back but for now I can’t do that.
I did not wish to write anything but I have received beautiful messages from friends, and our family friends, sharing memories and sending love.
I just couldn’t bring myself to see these words written.
I do thank you all for your love and support.
Mars is taking me home to Dads; to our family home, as I need to be there to feel close to him and when I can I will hold him one last time to tell him I love him – I’ll love him forever and I know we will find each other in our next journey.
My father, my life teacher, my inspiration, my everything and my heart.
I can’t talk to anyone and won’t be taking calls as you will all understand I need some time.
I do thank you for your all your support and caring in this time of need.
Dad I don’t know many girls that could do this, but as I make my way home to you, I’m proud to say, as I look out beyond these tears, I can just about name every tree along the way because you’d teach me every tree you had ever painted and could always see the beauty in them and so do I Dad .
I was proud to be the daughter of a real hero, the greatest father the greatest person I knew.
From BJ & Dollie:
It’s a very sad day today! My father Tony Jewell passed away at approximately 4am this morning.. Just thought I would let everyone that knew him, know. RIP TJ xox
He was a member of the 1st/19th Bushman Rifles. AN INFANTRY UNIT. in Sydney NSW Australia.
He was also a member of the NSW Police force for almost 30 years.
Love and miss you! your Partner Janice… Dad and Pop and father in law to: Wayne and Linda, Dennis and Sandy, Brian and Dollie, Jenny, Carmen, Karly and Mars, Annie and Karl, Matt, Ryan, Jack and Taylor, Kirsten and Connor, Hollie, Tom, Jake Amie, Sam,Bonnie,Finn, Lexie, Amity, Aurora and Isla.
You will be missed forever in our hearts..
xoxoxoxox
Some of the many messages from friends:
Milt MacFarlaneI’ll get my “Hand Written” book he signed and sent me, out today and read a few poems…it was only a few weeks ago that I met up with Peter Ohlsen, the son of Bill, who didn’t know it was a poem by Tony my favourite “Decent Steel” of his dad only a song, so I sent Peters daughter an email photo of it…the last verse sums Tony up too
“His hands where knurled like Ironbark and just as hard I’d say
He’d show the young blokes, how a Bushmans earns his pay
In years to come, they might look back, and history might reveal
That men who loved as good as Tone, where made from decent steal”
Alisha SmithRIP Tony a great writer of many songs. I have a few in my collection and some words.
Condolences to all Tonys family.
Steven J BehsmannTony and I joined at the same time ( NSWPF ) in December, 1973 – Class 137
It’s a very sad day today! I have been advised by Maurie Whitton that our Classmate from 137 of 1973, Tony Jewell passed away at approximately 4am this morning. Tony was a unique individual. He was sworn in on the Friday before our Monday Attestation Parade as he turned 35 on the Sunday. In those years you had to be under 35. I believe he was also a member of the 1st/19th Bushman Rifles. He served the NSW Police Force in country locations for about 30 years. He was an accomplished poet and musician who wrote for Slim Dusty who recorded his numbers.
I, like all who knew him, will miss him.
R.I.P. Brother.
Garry NowlanSad to hear about Tony Jewell. We both joined The Job in ’73, I was just one Class before in 136. First met him in Sydney around ’75 as a Police Solo Cyclist. Then I transferred out to Broken Hill HWP, and some years later caught up with Tony again when he came out to Wentworth/Dareton on GD’s. They were great times when we all worked hard and played hard. He was a top bloke and great Country Copper.
Bruce TaylorBrian, from the number of comments it shows you how much Tony was liked and respected, I will miss him.
I spent many years working with him at Wentworth, Dareton and Buronga and would enjoy a cuppa with him at ‘smoko’ time Sincere condolences to you and your family, Tony was a man to be admired and respected, I guess the ‘Bitumen has finally reached Pooncarie’

Date of Event St George Cricket Club: Fri Apr 3, 2020 11:40AM
It is with the heaviest of hearts we inform of the passing of Geoff Hoggett.
Geoff was an unsung hero of the club, having served on the St George DCC management committee for many years. His efforts often weren’t known to the public but were greatly appreciated by all core workers within the club.
Geoff was a very highly regarded member of the NSW Police force until retirement where he dedicated even more of his time to cricket and cricketers. Like many, Geoff came up through the ranks as a cricketing father with sons David and Matt playing cricket at Penshurst West.
Geoff would become an active member of the management committee as well as coaching multiple junior teams. This Included GRPSTG Rep teams (now St George). In fact even after his sons had finished playing juniors he still played a proactive part in the junior cricket community which included managing a young U13’s rep team he felt had great potential but were doing it tough. After three years as manager, the team would eventually reach the potential Geoff knew they had and go on to win the Watson Shield. The team consisted of a number of youngsters that would go on to much bigger and better things in Moises Henriques and Steve Cazzulino.
It was also during this period that Geoff Hoggett became a much loved and integral part of the Kingsgrove Cricket Academy setup. Through his position as Evening Manager / Supervisor, Geoff helped create a highly popular place of cricketing education where so many of our players not only crafted their game but went on to become cricket coaches themselves. Importantly it was the extra care, attention and often education and friendship he provided to cricketing parents that will be greatly remembered.
Eventually Geoff’s son Matt moved into the playing ranks at St George so it was only natural for Geoff to roll his sleeves up and get involved. It started with ensuring that all was taken care of every day of play at each home game as well as managing the teams. Club Management soon realised that Geoff needed to be a part of the successful running of the club.
Matt Hoggett himself became an integral member of the playing staff and went on to become first grade player No.387. He also took on the key role of 2nd Grade captain which yielded a premiership in the clubs centenary season of 09-10. All the while Geoff was by his side doing all he could to help the players. If the players had a club night at Hurstville Oval, more often than not, it was Geoff who would stay back and close up when they finally decided to move on into the night. The players loved and respected him greatly as did the senior members of the club.
Geoff’s extraordinary commitment to the club was recognised when he was recognised as Life Member No.48 of St George DCC.
Away from Cricket, Geoff was a loving family man and enjoyed numerous other sports, in particular Rugby League which he played as a young lad. He was a staunch Roosters fan having grown up in the Bondi area. Through his time in the police he had a plethora of amazing life experiences and was a great bloke to sit down and have a chat over a cold one. He did not shy away from telling it how it was and many people within the club would now be grateful for his honest advise.
Only just a month ago Geoff was in good spirits as he mingled with friends at the annual Life Members Lunch at Hurstville Oval. He was proud of his time well spent at St George DCC.
A finer man you could not wish to meet. He will be sorely missed by all who new him.
Geoff Hoggett was 80 years old.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the Hoggett Family.

Shots fired at ICAC figure’s home
SYDNEY: Shots were fired yesterday morning at the home of a Sydney nightclub owner who figured prominently in the Independent Commission Against Corruption‘s investigations into police corruption.
A police spokesman said the shots were fired at the home of Louis Bayeh at Ermington about 2am.
The spokesman said Mr Bayeh was believed to have been out but his wife and four children were home at the time of the drive-past shooting.
No-one was injured.
Shots were also fired at a car, belonging to a friend of the family, that was parked outside the home.
The spokesman did not know how many shots were fired.
He said ballistics experts and scientific police were at the house which had been cordoned off for some time.
Police canvassed the area yesterday but there were no further details.
In April, the Independent Commission Against Corruption heard that Mr Bayeh told then assistant Police Commissioner Col Cole and Police Association president Tony Day that senior police had a contract on his life.
The allegation was made at a lunch meeting in December 1992 between Bayeh, Mr Cole, Mr Day and Sydney identity Tom Domican at a hotel in Sydney.
• A police whistle-blower who has alleged a cover-up to the level of Police Commissioner Tony Lauer will be called a liar, counsel for the police service told the commission yesterday.
The whistle-blower, Detective Sergeant Kimbal Cook, said he ” would plead guilty to being slack ” but strenuously denied he had behaved improperly, proposing in stead there had been an attempt to set him up.
In evidence last week, Sergeant Cook said he submitted a report detailing four years of harassment and threats by fellow officers after he gathered key evidence against two corrupt colleagues in 1988.
He said he was told by Chief Superintendent Bob Myatt to rewrite the report to avoid investigation by the ombudsman or then Police Minister Ted Pickering.
Sergeant Cook said Superintendent Myatt told him the instructions had come from then-Assistant Commissioner Col Cole and ” the boss “, whom he assumed to be Mr Lauer. Superintendent Myatt has denied this.
Yesterday, Chief Superintendent Geoffrey Hoggett, commander of the Internal Affairs Unit, gave evidence that Sergeant Cook’s original report would have constituted a complaint to be investigated by his unit and the Ombudsman, but this had not happened.

Annie, You were a bloody good sport with all the lads at Warilla over the years and a great Admin Officer.
You worked in various rolls at the old Warilla Police Station from HWP and Detectives.
You were a great worker at Port Kembla in Court Processing.
I have video of you participating in a Cricket match between Warilla GD’s and HWP when we played in 1987 – but, unfortunately, the quality isn’t worth displaying.
