Rumour warning
Police have “major
concerns” with the way
some locals are using
social media networks
such as Facebook following rumours of
shots being fired and
an armed man on the
loose.
Officers were forced to
investigate the rumours
which appeared to be
linked to a house fire
in Beryl Street in the
city’s north on Monday
afternoon.
Detective Inspector
Mick Stoltenberg said
yesterday there was no
substance to the reports
of an armed man, and
warned people they could
be leaving themselves
“wide open” to having
criminal action taken
against them.
“Of recent concern is
the fact that these media
networks are being used
to exaggerate alleged
offences or incidents
that are occurring within
communities,” Det Insp
Stoltenberg said.
“This is making things
very difficult for police
to investigate matters
and those responsible
again could well find
themselves having action
taken against them for
criminal offences.
“It is also causing
unnecessary concerns to
people about their safety
and well-being and, of
course, this does run the
risk of having issues get
out of control and public
order and harmony to be
put at risk.”
Det Inspt Stoltenberg
said authorities were
continuing to investigate
the blaze which severely
damaged the house.
“First thing yesterday
morning NSW Fire
Brigade fire investigators
and police Forensic
Services staff were on
scene carrying out an
investigation.
“A number of witnesses
have been spoken to about
the fire and police have
been taking statements
relating to this since
Monday evening.
He said the occupant
of the home could not be
located at first but was
found with the assistance
of family and the public a
short time later.
“At this point in time
the fire is being treated
as suspicious and police
are keen to speak to any
person who may have
information about the fire
and how it started.”
Det Insp Stoltenberg
also said police have
received a large number
of reports of bullying
and other threatening
behaviour being made via
social networks sites.
“I am sure that devices
such as Facebook were not
invented with this intent
and police are asking all
users to be mindful of
what they say upon such
mediums.
“What I would ask of
community members is
not to get involved in the
speculation upon these
mediums and to let police
do their job.
Williams is
the new Whip
Local MP John Williams
is the Nationals Whip in the
Legislative Assembly.
The Member for MurrayDarling was elected to the position
yesterday on his first day in the
‘bear pit’ as part of the new NSW
Coalition Government.
As Whip, Mr Williams will
liaise with ministers in regard
to the business of the House,
secure the attendance of Members
in the House, arrange speakers
for debates, arrange “pairs” and
generally act as an intermediary
between the party leaders in the
House and back bench.
After an historic win at the
March 26 election, Mr Williams
took his place among the 68 other
Coalition Lower House MPs as
part of the 55th NSW Parliament.
Labor has just 20 seats.
NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell
announced the South Coast
Liberal MP Shelley Hancock as
the first woman speaker to the
Lower House of Parliament in its
150 year history.
As per custom, she was dragged
to the Legislative Assembly’s
Speaker’s chair by the former
speaker, the independent Richard
Torbay, and new Transport
Minister Gladys Berejiklian.
“My role is clear: to assist
and guide you all and preside
over the legislative assembly of
the parliament with fairness and
impartiality,” Ms Hancock told the
lower house.
Opposition Leader John
Robertson also congratulated Ms
Hancock, a former high school
teacher, on her appointment to the
“unenviable task” of keeping the
lower house in check.
“I would also like to
acknowledge your appointment
as the first female speaker in the
history of this great state,” he
said.
“This is an important moment
for the NSW parliament, and I
acknowledge the significance of
the premier’s decision to continue
the work undertaken by both sides
of this house in reaffirming the
crucial role of women within the
parliament.”
Nationals MP Thomas George
was elected Deputy Speaker, and
the Nationals’ Andrew Fraser as
Assistant Speaker.
The Legislative Assembly
numbers are made up by three
independents, and the Greens’
Jamie Parker, his party’s first MP
in the lower house.
The NSW Governor Marie
Bashir officially opened the new
session of parliament yesterday
afternoon.

also took out the skills
section of the event.
“We are thrilled with
the efforts of the team
who have done a magnificent job representing
Broken Hill,” Perilya’s BH
General Manager Andrew
Lord said.
“They should all be very
proud of their achievements and I can assure you
that everyone else here at
the mine is proud of them
as well.
“It is reassuring to
know we have such highly-skilled individuals to
call on in a time of crisis
because while we have
great support from medical facilities such as the
Royal Flying Doctor and
the local hospital our isolation means we need to
be self-sufficient in terms
of first response to accidents,” Mr Lord added.
The team, which comprised George Adams
(captain), Daniel Bell (v/
c), Wes Cullen, Anthony
Guthrie, Hamish Wood,
Jarrod Hinton and Brenton
Oldsen was coached by
Perilya’s Mine Rescue
supervisor Robert Fazulla.
“Winning two events
and being runner-up in
two others is a credit to the
team,” Mr Fazulla said.
“These guys spent two
weeks of intensive training
working 12 hours a day
to be competitive against
the best in South Australia
and they did themselves
proud.
“The team was drawn
together from across the
mine including truck drivers, mechanics and other
tradesmen, so to form a
strong bond as a team at
such short notice speaks
volumes for them as indi-
viduals,” Mr Fazulla continued.
During the competition
teams faced challenges
such as high rope rescues,
using breathing apparatus,
fire fighting, first aid, theory, basic skills and road
crash rescues.
At each challenge team
members were required to
use “foreign” equipment
with their captain deciding
which duties each individual would undertake.
The “home team” from
Olympic Dam took out the
overall honours and Mr
Fazulla said Perilya would
look forward to next year’s
competition with high
hopes.
“For a long time Broken
Hill miners have had a
highly-respected reputation in these type of competitions and Perilya will
no doubt supply another
competitive outfit in
2012,” he said.
“It’s not only about the
competition though, these
events provide a vital
opportunity for us to share
ideas and experience with
other mining companies.
“The industry as a
whole benefits from these
events because the sharing of information can
only improve safety in the
workplace and without
mines rescue you can’t run
a mine,” he added.
Members of the Perilya
team stayed on-site at the
giant Olympic Dam operation near Roxby Downs
which they said was an
education in itself.
“Olympic Dam has
the capacity of a 1000man camp on site with
another 350-man location
in Roxby Downs so it was
a real eye-opener,” Mr
Fazulla said.
“We took a team that
comprised both youth and
experience and I am sure
everyone got a lot out of
the exercise.”

Encouraging results
By Gina Wilson
The White Dam Gold
Mine continues to outperform expectations while
more drilling to extend
the mine life has returned
encouraging signs.
In releasing its third quarter
results on Friday, the majority
owner of the gold mine, Exco
Resources, said the mine had
now produced more than 78,000
ounces of gold.
“Gold projection rates from
the process plant continued
to increase with a new high
achieved in February of over
10,000oz produced in the
month,” the report said.
The Perth company, which
has a 75 per cent stake in White
Dam, said a follow up drilling
program on two new prospects,
Rolling and Valley, would go
ahead this quarter.
The three months to March 31
showed that a drilling program
tested extensions to the Vertigo
deposit, further tested other
prospects, including White
Dam North, White Dam East,
Rolling and Valley. Drilling
was also undertaken on other
green fields targets within
three kilometres of the current
operation.
Resource re-modelling is
ongoing at Vertigo.
The open cut gold mine,
80km west of Broken Hill, is
a joint venture between Exco
Resources and junior partner
Polymetals Group, which is
also the project manager.

The Ampol petrol station on Argent
Street, affectionately
known as Courtesy
Corner, will close its
doors in just under two
weeks.
The fuel stop, on the
junction of the Sydney
and Menindee roads,
opened on November 23,
1959.
Current owners Kym
and Dennis Turley, who
have been in charge for
more than a decade, said
since taking on a new
business they can no
longer handle the work
load the petrol station
demands.
“There’s only two of
us and we only went into
another venture last year
and it’s taking a lot of
our time - it’s too much,”
he said.
“We don’t get enough
time for ourselves - we’re
too thinly spread.”
Mr Turley said once
he made the decision and
informed Caltex, which
owns Ampol, the company
said it would close the
service station.
“They were always
planning to shut it but
they weren’t going to do
it while we were here,”
he said.
“It’s not a high amount
of fuel sales so to them it’s
not worthwhile keeping
it going. Shop sales are
where you make your
money.”
There are four other
Caltex stations in the
city, not including the
Woolworths fuel station.
Despite
its
ideal
location at the junction of

CLOSING UP: Courtesy Corner will close its doors on May 16. Owners
Dennis and Kym Turley will continue trading at their Oxide Street Caltex
service station.
PICTURE: Darrin Manuel
the Barrier Highway and
the Menindee Road, Mr
Turley said the site just
wasn’t suitable for Caltex
as it did not sell a big
enough volume of fuel.
“Probably if it was
a bigger site - a bigger
forecourt - they might’ve
kept it,” he said.
“You get people with
caravans, it’s too hard for
them to pull in, it’s the
size of the site - it’s too
small.”
Those who make
Courtesy Corner their last
stop on their way to a
trip up the river - to buy
a fishing licence and ice
- would now have to visit
the Turley’s Oxide Street
Caltex.
“Most of the stuff will
be moved down there,
fishing licences, we’re
even trying to get some of
the hot food down there,”
Mrs Turley said.
“We’re talking to them
about putting in a kitchen
so we can do sandwiches
and rolls.”
She said people had
expressed sadness about
the business closing.
“A lot of them are
upset. A lot of them are
going to follow me up to
the other service station,”
she said.
“I’ve had one that wants
to start a petition.
“Because I am here at
5.30am a lot of them come
in and get the papers and
give me a mouthful.”
Courtesy Corner will
close on Monday, May 16.
The future of the empty
site is not known.

notice,
customers
were greeted with a
“temporarily closed”

last week.
Council’s general

the cafe was closed
“due to lease-related

Mr Zaknich said
Council had no plans

“The objective is
to re-open as soon
as we can ... It is an
important part of the

Car damaged after collision
Police said no-one was
injured in a three-car collision at the intersection of
Argent and Iodide streets
yesterday afternoon.
Two of the cars involved
in the crash which happened
about 2pm - a Toyota
Cressida and Holden
Commodore - had to be
towed from the scene.
The third vehicle received
minor damage according to
police, who said alcohol
was not found to be a factor
in the accident.
Police said no charges
had been laid as yet but
investigations
were
continuing.
THREE CAR CRASH:
The Holden Commodore
was extensively damaged
in a collision at the
intersection on Argent and
Iodide streets yesterday.
Sentence quashed
Wes Burton, Martin’s
lawyer, said she had waited
outside the house while
her boyfriend, Ben Bugmy,
broke in and stole an ipod, a
digital camera, a wristwatch
and $60 in cash.
The pair were caught
after a neighbour called
police who chased them
down the street and
found them hiding in the
electricity company depot
in Wolfram Street.
Mr Burton said Martin
had been led astray by
Bugmy (19) who had a
criminal record “thirty
pages long.”
Bugmy was jailed for 14
months with eight months’
non-parole for the crime.
Mr Burton said Martin
had been abused as a child
and had suffered from
depression since the age of
14, a condition for which
she was being treated.
He asked the judge to
quash the jail sentence and
replace it with a suspended
sentence that included a
condition for supervision
and counselling for his
client.
“She is a lost young
woman who requires
assistance,” he said.
Judge Tupman agreed
that Martin’s role in the
burglary was “minor” and
said that she did not deserve
to be jailed for what was
her first criminal offence as
an adult.
Martin had been before
the Children’s Court for
property offences but had
never been convicted, the
judge said.

A 19-year-old woman
yesterday won an appeal
against a jail sentence
imposed on her for acting
as the “cockatoo” for a

Eliana Martin (19)

She pleaded guilty in

to eight months’ jail with

Revenge may come
anywhere, anytime
CANBERRA - As
shock over the killing
of Osama bin Laden
begins to wane, Defence
Minister Stephen Smith
has warned a revenge
attack could happen
anywhere at anytime.
“That (retaliation) can
as easily occur in a capital
city in the United States
or Europe as it can occur
in Afghanistan,” Mr Smith
said yesterday.
His warning came as
the Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade (DFAT)
urged Australians living
abroad to take extra
precautions.
“There is a very high
threat of terrorist attack
against places in Pakistan
that
are
frequented
by
Australians
and
other Westerners,” the
Department said.
Possible targets ranged
from
the Australian
high commission in
Islamabad through to
hotels, restaurants and
universities.
“These attacks could
include
Western
or
Australian interests and
occur at anytime, anywhere
in Pakistan.”
Attorney-General
Robert McClelland echoed
his cabinet colleague’s
sentiment.
“A terrorist attack is
feasible and could occur in
Australia,” Mr McClelland
said.
Bin Laden was killed
in a surgical strike by
United States’ special
forces on a mansion in the
Pakistan military city of
Abbottabad.
Like many in the US,
Prime Minister Julia Gillard
turned her attention to
questions of the relationship
between Washington and
Islamabad.
“Clearly, to be able to
be there he must have had
some support mechanisms.
Absolutely,” the prime
minister said.
There have been many
theories on just where
bin Laden was hiding but
none suggested he was
less than 100km from the
Pakistani capital, living in
a mansion.
“The rumours tended to
be that he was hiding out
in mountain locations, not
in a populated area, very
close to Pakistan’s capital.”
Speaking
from
Washington DC, Foreign
Minister Kevin Rudd also
warned of reprisals.
“It’s equally critical that
we remain vigilant against
future terrorist attacks,” Mr
Rudd said after meeting
with US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton.
“What we know from
the past, these are non-
discriminating in terms of
where they are launched,
against whom they are
launched:
Muslims,
Christians, anybody and
whatever centre in the
world.”
Domestically, Islamic
Friendship Association
spokesman KeysarTrad said
bin Laden’s death provided
a fresh opportunity for the
faith in Australia.
“It brings a sense of
relief. It brings a number
of opportunities for
engagement to allow us to
actually show that our faith
is a faith of salvation for
humanity and not a faith
of condemnation,” Mr Trad
said.

Dementia deaths
doubled: ABS
SYDNEY - Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease are
claiming more than twice as many Australian lives
than they did a decade ago, new data has found.
According to the latest Causes of Death report, released
by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) yesterday, the
diseases accounted for almost 8280 deaths in 2009 - making
it the third biggest killer of Aussies overall.
The rise in degenerative brain conditions prompted a
peak advocacy body to call for more funding from the state
and federal governments come budget time.
“We need more services in regional Australia, earlier
diagnosis and much greater awareness and understanding
of the illness,” said John Watkins, CEO of Alzheimer’s
Australia.
Heart disease remained at the top of the list for both men
and women, where it’s stood since 2000.
However, the number of lives the disease claimed in
2009 had dropped four per cent over the last 10 years killing about 12,000 men and almost 10,500 women.
Stroke was second on the list overall, claiming 11,220
lives, and lung cancer came in fourth with about 7790
fatalities.
Meanwhile, diabetes and external causes such as
accidents and homicides, were over-represented among
deaths in the indigenous population.
Diabetes was responsible for eight per cent of deaths,
compared to just under three per cent of non-indigenous
people.

Area to be opened for mining
ADELAIDE - Mining will be
allowed in parts of the Woomera
Prohibited Area (WPA) in South
Australia, unlocking up to $35
billion in mineral wealth.
Premier Mike Rann said the
decision on a new management
arrangement for the area was like
“discovering a new country for
mineral exploration”.
“We’re talking about a new
frontier for mining that has
previously been untapped,” Mr
Rann told parliament yesterday.
His comments came after the
federal government endorsed a
final report on operations in the
WPA, which covers 127,000 square
kilometres in SA’s north-west.
Defence Minister Stephen
Smith said the area would continue
to play an important role in
Australia’s national security as a
unique location for large-scale and
long-range weapons testing.
But he said a new management
framework would increase usage
of the WPA by better balancing
national security and economic
considerations.

Skills Australia’s
comprehensive review of
the VET sector, released
yesterday, called for extra
funding to the tune of
three per cent per year, or
an average of $310 million
in 2012/13, accumulating
to about $12 billion by
2020.
The body’s chairman,
Philip Bullock, warned
that
the
Australian
economy would suffer
without more skilled
workers.
“Without significant
reform, we risk missing
out on many of the
opportunities presented
by the resources boom
and face the prospect of
becoming less competitive
in the global economy,”
he said, estimating the
country would need an
additional 2.4 million
skilled workers in 2015
and 5.2 million by 2025.
Skills Australia found
the way the sector was
financed and organised
was too complex, and
recommended full and
partial public subsidies
for VET courses and the
introduction of income
contingent loans and
scholarships for some
trainees.
“The
rationale
for this approach is to
provide
maximum
public subsidy for those
seeking the equivalent of
school- and entry-level
qualifications,” the report
stated.
“The safeguards we
propose for this more
market-oriented approach
are the implementation
of tougher regulatory
expectations
and
performance incentives
for providers.”
Skills Australia also
proposed a national review
of VET in schools, with the
aim of improving course
quality, and a restructure
of
the
Australian
Apprenticeships Centre
program so that it provided
support services such as
mentoring and advice.
Jobs Minister Chris
Evans said the federal
government had already
met one of the report’s
suggestions by entering
into partnerships with
industry to target critical
skill shortages.
“We have also been
clear about our desire to
reform the apprenticeship
and training systems to
ensure they are flexible
and responsive to industry
needs,” he said.
Senator Evans will
consider Skills Australia’s
findings ahead of talks on
the matter with states and
territories.

Haven Restaurant Diphtheria case
A La Carte
Mother’s Day
at The Haven
Because she deserves the best
‘shocking’: AMA
SYDNEY - The death
of an Australian woman
from diphtheria, a disease virtually unheard
of in Australia, is
shocking, the Australian
Medical Association
says.
The
22-year-old
Brisbane woman died in
hospital last week after
contracting the bacterial
throat infection from a
friend who had returned
from overseas. It’s believed
she wasn’t immunised.
Queensland Health said
it last confirmed a case
of diphtheria in the state
in 1993, but AMA vice
president Steve Hambleton
said he had never heard
of a case in Australia in
30 years of working as a
health professional.
“In the 1900s it was
the most common cause of
death from an infectious
disease,” Dr Hambleton
said, with rates as high
as 400 cases per 100,000
people.
But in 1932 vaccination
began and by the late 1950s
rates had plummeted and
were “virtually zero”.
Now, almost 90 per
cent of Australians have
been vaccinated against
-AAP
the infection.

Man dies from
MV Encephalitis
ADELAIDE - A 27-year-old man has died from
Murray Valley Encephalitis (MVE).
SA Health’s chief medical officer Paddy Phillips
said the man had been receiving hospital care since
March.
“Two confirmed cases of MVE have been reported
in South Australia this year, the first reported cases
of locally-acquired MVE since 1974,” Professor
Phillips said.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that one
of the people who contracted MVE has died.”
There is no specific treatment or vaccine to protect against the disease which is spread via mosquito
bites but is not transmitted from person to person.
Most people have only mild symptoms, including fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. But in
about one in 1000 cases, symptoms can worsen, with
increasing confusion, headaches, drowsiness, neck
stiffness, tremors and seizures.
High rents leave
families homeless
SYDNEY - A growing number of Sydney
families are being left homeless because of a
shortage of rental homes and public housing, a
study has found.
The Wesley Mission says families make up at
least a quarter of Australia’s homeless and possibly
as much as a third.
“Alarmingly, the population of homeless families
is on the rise,” Wesley Mission CEO Reverend Keith
Garner said yesterday.
“They are in our suburbs, sleeping on the floor in
a relative or friend’s house, sleeping in their care, living in a refuge after they’ve left a violent partner.
“They’re mostly young, more often than not
women, and they are almost always accompanied by
young children.”
Many families were unable to rent because of tight
market conditions and real estate agents who “auction off ” properties above market value.
Bombs away
CANBERRA - Australia’s Future Fund has
dumped its investments in cluster bombs ahead
of the federal government creating laws to ban
them.
The government will legislate to formalise the 2008
Convention on Cluster Munitions, banning Australia
from ever acquiring or using cluster munitions.
The weapons contain hundreds of explosive submunitions in an outer casing designed to break open
mid-air and spread over the size of several football
fields and kill or seriously injure people.
A spokesman for Australia’s Future Fund, set up
to fund government superannuation liabilities, Will
Hetherton said it has divested $74 million of its $239
million defence asset shareholdings since December
31.

Risky raid
WASHINGTON The nail-biting moment,
the period when absolute
disaster loomed, came at
the very start.
About two dozen Navy
Seals and other US commandos were supposed to
rope down into a Pakistani
residential compound from
a pair of specially modified Black Hawk helicopters in the predawn hours
on Monday, race into two
buildings, and capture or
kill Osama bin Laden.
One chopper stalled as it
hovered between the compound’s high walls, unable
to sustain its lift, and thudded into the dirt.
Half a world away in
the White House Situation
Room, the president and his
war council crowded around
a table covered with briefing papers and keyboards,
and watched nervously as
video feeds streamed in.
The special forces team
needed a rescue chopper.
Gunfire was blazing around
them.
“A lot of people were
holding their breath,”
recalled John Brennan, the
president’s counterterrorism adviser.
The extraordinary drama
surrounding the killing of
bin Laden encompassed the
White House, the CIA and
other arms of America’s
vast national security apparatus.
The tale is part detective story, part spy thriller.
But the decade-old man-
hunt for the al-Qaeda leader
ultimately came down to a
three-storey building on a
dirt road in the Pakistani
army town of Abbottabad,
north of Islamabad.
If the raid went wrong,
Obama would bear the
blame. He had vetoed a
plan to obliterate the compound with an airstrike.
Obama wanted to be
certain he had bin Laden,
and there was no guarantee
that a smoking crater would
yield proof. He had asked
for a bolder plan, one that
would allow the US to take
custody of bin Laden or
his body. It posed far more
risk.
As reports flowed into
the White House, the commando team methodically swept through the
compound.
Bin Laden and his family lived on the second and
third floors of the largest
structure, US intelligence
indicated.
Officials said that when
the commandoes found him
there, he was armed and
“resisted.”
They shot him in the
head and chest.
There were conflicting
reports on Monday about
whether bin Laden had
fired at the Americans, or
whether he had tried to
use a woman as a human
shield.
His wife, who called
out bin Laden’s name during the fight, was wounded
in the leg during the bat-
Japan eyes
compensation
TOKYO
The
Japanese government
has estimated that
compensation for damages resulting from the
country’s nuclear crisis
could reach four trillion
yen ($A44.87 billion), a
report said.
Half the money will
come from Tokyo Electric
Power Co (TEPCO), the
operator of the crippled
Fukushima Daiichi power
plant, with the rest coming
from other electricity
companies, the Asahi
Shimbun said.
The came as TEPCO
calculates its earnings and
prepares its future budget,
the Asahi said.
The
Japanese
government has officially
refused
to
estimate
the total liability for
compensation, saying that
Tokyo would not put any
cap on TEPCO’s burden.
The Fukushima plant
was heavily damaged by
the deadly earthquake and
tsunami of March 11, and
has since been releasing
radioactive materials to
the environment.
The worst nuclear
disaster since Chernobyl
in 1986 has forced the
evacuation of tens of
thousands of people from
their houses, businesses
and farms.
Officials hope to
bring the plant to a cold
shutdown by the year end.
Under the envisioned
scheme, once TEPCO
runs out of money to pay
damages claims, it would
receive funding from a
special financial body to
be created by it and eight
other power companies,
the Asahi said.
The government would
initially put public money
into the body, which will
return it over the next
decade, the newspaper
said.
TEPCO -- which
supplies about one third
of Japan’s total power
demand and services the
Kanto region, including
Tokyo -- would increase
its power tariffs by 16 per
cent, the Asahi said.
In addition, the
government believes it will
cost Y1.5 trillion ($A16.88
billion) to decommission
the six reactors at the
Fukushima Daiichi plant
and Y1.0 trillion ($A11.25
billion) to fuel thermal
power plants to meet
electricity demand, the
Asahi said.
TEPCO has said it will
cut jobs and sell assets to
reduce costs.

tle and may have tried to
interpose herself between
the troops and her husband,
but bin Laden was not hiding behind her, a senior US
official said.
Within 20 minutes, the
fighting had ended. In 20
more, the military had flown
in a backup helicopter.
The commandos questioned several people in the
compound to confirm bin
Laden’s identity, detonated
explosives to destroy the
crippled helicopter and then
departed.

As they flew off, they

man with a thick beard.
In addition, the raiding
party took “a large volume
of information” from the
compound, a US official
said, “so large that the CIA
is standing up a task force”
to examine it for clues.
The material, which
includes digital and paper
files, could be a treasure
trove of new intelligence
about al-Qaeda, the official
said.

Pakistan in
eye of storm
WASHINGTON The United States has
warned it will probe
how Osama bin Laden
managed to live in
undetected luxury in
Pakistan, as gripping
details emerged about
the US commando raid
that killed the al-Qaeda
kingpin.
Officials said DNA
tests had proven conclusively that the man shot
dead by US special forces
in Abbottabad was indeed
the Islamist terror mastermind who boasted about
the deaths of 3000 people
in the September 11 terror
attacks of 2001.
Fresh detailed have
emerged about the audacious American raid that
netted potentially crucial
al-Qaeda records as well as
the body of the global terrorist leader on Monday.
According to the US
account, the assault team
came away with hard

drives, DVDs, documents
and more that might tip
US intelligence to alQaeda’s operational details
and perhaps lead the manhunt to the presumed
next-in-command, Ayman
al-Zawahri.
The CIA is already
going over the material.
Meanwhile, the US
government
weighed
whether to release photos
of bin Laden’s corpse and
video of his swift burial
at sea.
Officials were reluctant
to inflame Islamic sentiment by showing graphic
images of the body.
But they were also eager
to address the mythology already building in
Pakistan and beyond that
bin Laden was somehow
still alive.
US officials say the
photographic evidence
shows bin Laden was shot
above his left eye, blowing
away part of his skull. He
was also shot in the chest,
they said.
US President Barack
Obama, who approved the
risky operation and witnessed its progression from
the White House Situation
Room, has reaped accolades from world leaders he’d kept in the dark
as well as from political
opponents at home.
“We got him,” Obama
told his top lieutenants,
who had gathered in the
Situation Room to watch
the dramatic operation
unfold late Sunday US
time (early Monday in
Pakistan), according to the
New York Times.
The high tension gripping the room had finally
been broken by confirmation relayed by CIA chief
Leon Panetta that the status
of bin Laden - codenamed
“Geronimo” - was now
“EKIA”: Enemy Killed in
Action.

NZ tornado
kills one
AUCKLAND - A violent tornado has ripped
through Auckland’s north, killing one person and
injuring several others in a freak storm that has
shaken disaster-weary New Zealanders.
The twister ripped the roof off a shopping mall,
overturned cars, uprooted trees and sent shoppers running
when it hit the suburb of Albany about 3pm (1pm AEST)
yesterday.

Misreading the signs
HALLANDALE BEACH, Florida - Police say
two deaf men were stabbed at a bar when their
sign language was mistaken for gang signs.
Court records show that 45-year-old Barbara Lee
and 19-year-old Marco Ibanez are facing aggravated
battery charges in the Saturday night attack in Florida.
Police say the men were using sign language to
communicate when Lee allegedly confronted them with
complaints they were flashing gang signs.
They say Lee left and returned with Ibanez and a
juvenile and attacked the men, a bystander and a bar
bouncer. Police say none of their injuries were serious.
Congo boat tragedy
KINSHASA, Congo - An overcrowded boat
has capsized in Congo, witnesses say, leaving at
least 106 people missing in the latest transportation tragedy to hit this vast Central African
country.
The boat carrying passengers and merchandise
sank on the Kasai River in Kasai-Occidental
province, local resident Vickie Ndaye yesterday.
Another boat capsized last year on the same river,
a tributary of the Congo River, leaving as many as
200 people dead. Investigators later said there were
four times as many people onboard that vessel as the
passenger list claimed and that the boat operators
bribed officials to allow them to overload it.
The Congo River is the only real highway in the
vast country. Barges traverse it like floating villages
crowded with up to 2,000 people, mainly traders
and their goods, from bags of sorghum to barrels
of palm oil.
Arson arrests
BEIJING - Police in northeastern China have
detained seven people suspected of deliberately
starting a weekend fire in a hotel that killed 10
people and injured 35, the government and state
media said yesterday.
The blaze broke out in the early hours of Sunday at
a hotel operated by Chinese budget chain Home Inns
in Tonghua, an industrial city near the North Korean
border. The victims died of smoke inhalation.
A Tonghua city government official who declined to
be named told AFP seven suspects had been caught.
Deadly fires are common in China and are typically
blamed on lax observation and enforcement of firesafety measures.
Last week, 18 poor migrants died and nearly two
dozen were injured when a fire swept through an
illegally constructed building in Beijing.

UGL contracts
SYDNEY - UGL Ltd says improving market
conditions have led to contracts worth $160
million with US customers including Toyota,
Stanford University and a major New York-based
pharmaceutical firm.
UGL says among the wins are a facilities management agreement with Toyota Motor Sales USA to service 100 buildings at 44 locations, and a contract with
Stanford to service the university’s 8,180 acre campus.
“We continue to see trading conditions across our
services business globally supported by higher activity
levels in corporate real estate and facilities management markets,” chief executive Richard Leupen said in
a statement.
“These results in the US market are particularly
pleasing as is the strong growth in California.”
UGL says the contracts strengthened its position
across key growth sectors including life sciences transport and higher education.
Australand buy
SYDNEY - Australand Property Group has
secured the Ashlar Golf Course in Blacktown for
the master-planned residential community, with
contributions to profit expected from 2015.
The 38 hectare site, 33km north west of
Sydney’s CBD, would allow up to 700 dwellings.
The transaction will allow the developer to acquire
the site on staged payment terms on relocation of
Ashlar Golf Club to new premises at Stonecutters
Ridge Golf Course.
Bathurst bid
PERTH - Bathurst Resources Ltd seeks to
raise up to $55 million via a share placement to
institutions to fund the development and acquisition of coal projects in New Zealand.
Bathurst on Tuesday said the placement would see
up to 52.4 million shares in the company issued at
$1.05 a share, representing about 8.5 per cent of its
current issued capital.
Proceeds will be used for the development of
the Brookdale assets next to Bathurst’s operating
Cascade mine and assets acquired in March through
the purchase of Galilee Energy Ltd subsidiary Eastern
Resources Group Ltd.
Bathurst on Tuesday said it had entered into an
agreement with Robert Griffiths and his associated
entity, Brookdale Mining Ltd NZ, to acquire the
Brookdale assets for $US12 million ($A10.99 million)
in cash, 15 million Bathurst shares and a royalty.
The Brookdale assets are also adjacent to Bathurst’s
Escarpment block, where it hopes to begin work on an
open cut coal mine by September or October.
Interest
rates
steady
SYDNEY - The
Australian dollar finished
the domestic session half
a US cent weaker after the
central bank kept its key
interest rate steady and
gave no hint of a hike any
time soon.
At 1700 AEST yesterday,
the Australian dollar unit
was trading at 108.87 US
cents, down from 109.38
cents on Monday.
Since 0700 AEST, the
currency traded between
108.84 US cents and 109.54
US cents.
In the early hours of
yesterday morning, the unit
reached 110.11 US cents,
its highest level since the
currency was floated in
December 1983.
At 1430 AEST, the
Reserve Bank of Australia
(RBA) decided to keep the
cash rate at 4.75 per cent
at its monthly monetary
policy meeting.
The decision was
expected, with all but
one of the 13 economists
surveyed last week by AAP
predicting the central bank
would keep rates on hold.
In a statement
accompanying the decision,
RBA governor Glenn
Stevens said “the recent
information suggests that
the marked decline in
underlying inflation from
the peak in 2008 has now
run its course”.
Easy Forex currency
trader Tony Darvall said
the local currency has been
little heavy following the
RBA’s announcement of no
change in rates.
“This is basically
because the RBA didn’t
give a clear time or wasn’t
as hawkish as they could
have been,” he said.
“The market then was
taking profits.”
Mr Darvall expected the
market to be focused the
European Central Bank’s
monetary policy decision,
due on Thursday, as there
was no major domestic
economic data due today.
He said the Australian
dollar may search for
support overnight yesterday,
possibly trading between
108.40 US cents and 109.30
US cents.
At 1700 AEST yesterday,
the Australian dollar was at
88.21 Japanese yen, down
from Monday’s close of
89.07 yen, and at 73.50
euro cents, down from
73.88 euro cents.
The euro finished at
1.4813 US dollars, up from
1.4804 US dollars, and at
120.07 yen, down from
120.61 yen.
The US dollar was at
81.07 yen, down from
81.48 yen.
Meanwhile,
the
Australian bond market was
firmer.
At 1630 AEST, the
June 10-year bond futures

contract was trading at
94.590 (implying a yield
of 5.410 per cent), up from
94.550 (5.450 per cent) on
Monday.
The June three-year
bond futures contract was
at 94.910 (5.090 per cent),
up from 94.870 (5.130 per
cent).
UBS interest rate
strategist Matthew Johnson
said the market was looking
for more hawkish language
in the RBA’s statement
accompanying
their
decision.
“The market opened
lower ... following some
hawkish press that there had
been an expectation that the
RBA might give a stronger
signal that they may raise
rates,” he said.
Mr Johnson did not think
the bank’s medium-term
outlook for the economy
had changed.
UK manufacturing
data due overnight had the
potential to move markets,
he said.
The 90-day bank bill
closed at 4.930 per cent,
up from Monday’s close of
4.900 per cent, while the
180-day bank bill rate was
at 5.100, up from 5.030
per cent.
The RBA’s trade
weighted index (TWI) was
at 78.9, down from 79.2 on
Monday.

UNDER-18 FOOTBALL
South, West look too strong
Round three of the hotly contested U/18
football competition gets underway tonight
with two hugely important games.
Game one will pit the two undefeated sides
Central and South against each other with top spot
on the ladder up for grabs.
Central have been hugely impressive this season
under new coach Ben Camilleri and have notched
up two wins with a nail-biter in round one against
West followed by comfortable win in round two
against North.
The Magpies have an even spread of talent and
don’t rely on a few to do the work. The likes of
Sean Power, Kyle Farcich, Curtis Jelbert, Cohen
Turner, Adam Armstrong, Lachlan Jenkin and
Jake Gepp have all found plenty of the ball but it’s
the emergence of Roderick Jones and Riley Pearce
that’s added depth to the Magpies’ line up.
The area the Magpies look most vulnerable is in
the ruck and bean-pole Ethan Williams will need
a big game to help stop the supply to the South
runners. Also expect to see Jelbert thrown forward
at various stages to try and put some scoreboard
pressure on south as he can kick goals from a long
way out and is difficult to match up.
South are warm flag favourites and will go into
this game full of confidence. If any kids want to
see how to play fair but hard football come watch
South duo Marc Purcell and Cody Schorn.
Both these quality players play the ball and have
a great temperament and never get involved in
push or shove with opponents.
They just go about getting the ball week in and
week out.
Heath Caldwell is no doubt the most dangerous
player at this level and can win games off his own
boot. If Caldwell focuses on playing and not lairizing he will hurt every side each week. Ayden Pettit,
Jared Burcher, Riley Schorn, Carson Banning and
Jack Bird are doing their respective bits each week
to round out a strong South line-up.
Central have performed will this season and
have every chance of upsetting South, but they will
need to shut out Purcell, Cody Scorn and Caldwell
to get the points.
I’m sticking with South to get over the line in
a tight contest.
Game two will see West take on North with
both sides winless so far this season. West has
performed well in both games without getting the
points losing by only 5 and 7-points in the first
two rounds.
The continued growing in statue of Cynan
Smith, Heath Teelow, Zac Gentle and the hopeful
return of Nick Agius form the backbone of the
Robins line-up but it’s the up-coming stars who
have taken all before them with Heath Harris, who
is developing into a star, the run of Cohan Smith,
Cohen Pettit and Mason Hunt, the hard work of
Liam King and Hagen Grose giving the robins a
bright future.
North are rebuilding for the future and I encourage the players to stick with it and keep together
because your turn will come it always does at this
level. Robert Naudi, Ben Schorn, Jordan Vella,
Ryan Lehman and Josh Sheargold all look to
have a bright future and they are well lead by Zac
Wauchope.
North will come out firing and will need to
maintain it for a full four quarters if they hope to
notch their first win. West should be too strong and
run out comfortable winners, but the beauty of this
great game is you just never know what might happen so I encourage the public to head along to the
Jubilee Oval tonight to see the cream of Broken
Hill U/18 football talent.

ARCHERY
THe silver CiTY ArCHers
On Sunday May 1, the Silver City Archers held a 3 arrow
round on the Art Smith range which was attended by 17 members eager to get some practice in for the upcoming Andrew
Wheatley Memorial ‘Roo Shoot’ competition hosted by the club
on the 14th and 15th later this month.
Please nominate for this as soon as possible by contacting
Darryl with your ABA number, shooting division and days participating etc. Full competition details are posted on the whiteboard
and will be listed in next weekend’s report.
Heavy overcast conditions did little to dampen spirits on
Sunday and certainly did not concern Shaun Bedford and
Chrissy Lee who both shot personal best scores of 362 and 210
respectively out of a possible total of 400 points.
High scorer of the morning was Damo Athorn on 380 followed
by Tim Mercer’s 376 and Darryl Lee’s 374 points.
Results ABA Round :
Freestyle Unlimited - Livio ‘Jacko’ Djakovic 372, Rick Ferguson
368 points.

Ron Arthur remained at the practice range to assist new
members Ben Lansdown and Justin Williamson practicing with
compound bows.
Both Darryl and Mikaela Ward competed in the recent World
Bowhunting Championship held in Wagga Wagga over the
Easter weekend with Mikaela shooting at a calibre high enough
to be awarded Silver in her category against some talented
competition.
Please note that ranges 2 and 3 will be closed for practicing
until after the May competition.
Permanent shelters over the practice line and between the
containers (general club area) have now been completed - thank
you to all who put in their time, expertise and effort to make this
great improvement possible.
The SCA hold a shoot every Sunday morning with the muster
at 8.30 am followed by the field shoot at 9.00 am. The range is
on the Racecourse Road (Green Acres).
Newcomers young or not so young are most welcome to have
a go at this challenging and historic sport and will be assisted
by experienced club members.

the boys. However, the weather didn’t affect the performance
of Denis Martin, who won the Demo meal voucher with a great
score of 44 points.
In second place with a score of 43 points (which would
normally be good enough to win) was Bob Bessell, with Ken

MUSICIANS
CLUB
Magpie star grounded
Broken Hill’s hopes of claiming
a second successive Miners Cup in
Adelaide this month have dipped with
the news that high-flying Central star
Wade Gepp will not play.
Gepp sustained a serious knee injury
on Saturday in the Magpies loss to West
and will be sidelined for at least six weeks
- although that absence could be even
longer depending on the result of scans
which are expected next week.
With less than three weeks before the
Miners Cup clash against the Far North
League at Football Park, BH selectors
have been forced to re-cast their line-up,
which has been trimmed to a squad of 30
players.
Selectors have added Ashley Bates
from North and Magpie full back Digby
Schnickel to the original squad and both
additions are based on form and necessity.
“Since his return to local football we
have been impressed with Bates, while
the selectors feel we need the height and
competitive spirit of Schnickel to combat
the tall South Australian forwards,” BH
coach David Ruddock said.
With another two rounds of local football before the May 21 clash the coach is
keeping his options open.
“While we have our training squad of
30 if there are players who are prepared to
show us something in the next two weeks
we have the flexibility where we can add
them,” Ruddock said.
With the loss of Gepp the coaching
panel now has to look more closely at the
forward line.
“We had pencilled Geppy in at fullforward but his injury has thrown that
position open,” Ruddock said.
“There are a number of players we are
considering to play up forward - we are
fine with flankers and smaller running
players - but we need to identify someone
who is capable of taking a mark and providing a reliable target,” he added.
After handing the Croweaters a 77point drubbing last year Ruddock is wary
of a team seeking revenge.
“I know - having spoken with people
from around Roxby Downs - that they are
determined to avenge what happened last
year,” Ruddock said.
“They have recruited well and have
been training as a squad for over a month
and they want to rub our noses into
Football Park.”
With this in mind there has been a
lift in intensity at training this week and
Ruddock said the 23 players who represent Broken Hill will be ready to go.
“There will not be any slackness from
our side,” Ruddock said.
“It is a great honour to wear a blue and
gold jumper with Broken Hill on it and I
can assure everyone the boys we are taking to Adelaide are there to win.”
The annual Miners Cup showdown
will be a curtain raiser to the AFL clash
between Port Adelaide and Fremantle.
The BH squad to train at Jubilee
Oval at 5.30pm on Monday May 9,
Tuesday May 17 and Thursday May
19 is:
WEST: C Ryan, M Nelson, B Rose, R
Hayden, B Martin, D Milne.
NORTH: C Howard, J Ruddock, M
Garrick, J Kelly, M Dempster, T Hack,
J Watson, D Stuart, A Bates.
SOUTH: H Caldwell, M Purcell, M
O’Brien, S O’Brien, B Dolan, T Corey,
J Dunne.
CENTRAL: L Cox, B Zanette, B
Camilleri, J McInnes, J Heath, B
Mannion, M Collins, D Schnickel.
Shining career cut short
WHAT A MARK: BH will miss the aerial skills of Wade Gepp in this month’s combined game in Adelaide.
From Back Page
By the time he enlisted
in the Australian Imperial
Forces, four games into
the 1915 season, Low
was regarded as the best
defender in SA.
He was noted as a
backman who rarely, if
ever, was guilty of “holding on” to an opponent or
“harming an opponent”.
Suffering from gunshot
wounds while fighting
in France, Low died in
hospital in London after
being transferred and
was buried in Middlesex,
England.
The whereabouts of
his Magarey Medal has
never been confirmed
despite attempts from a
SANFL historic committee a couple decades ago.
The hunt to find it was
unsuccessful.
It cannot be even confirmed whether it is still
in existence, as Low and
his wife had no children,
and she remarried three
more times.
Dave
Low
(spelt
‘Lowe’ in some sources)
hailed from the Silver
City where he began his
playing career with North
Broken Hill.
In the well-researched
football website www.
fullpointsfooty.net Low
was honoured with
selection in the New
South Wales team of the
20th century, on a halfback flank.
Hell on wheels
By Darrin Manuel
Broken Hill’s only
entrants in the ARB
Australian Outback
4X4 Extreme event
are gearing up for a
week of sheer hell and they can’t wait for
it to start!
Silver City Steel
boilermakers
Josh
Holmes and Cameron
Holden
have
been
frantically preparing for
the race after deciding
to enter only six months
ago.
The idea to compete
in the gruelling event
surfaced during an
informal chat between
the pair, but soon
materialised into genuine
competitive ambition.
“I’d worked as a 4X4
official before and it
always seemed like a good
sport,” said Cameron.
“And then it was just
a snap decision, we said
‘Why don’t we go in the
4X4 challenge?’” said
Josh.
The boys initially had
a long term plan to make
gradual preparations and
enter the event in 2012,
but before long their
enthusiasm took over and
they began scrambling to
enter this year’s race.
“We were actually
building a car for next
year, but then we had a
rush of blood to the head
and decided we’d try and
find one for this year and we found one,” Josh
said.
The duo formed “High
$takes Racing” and
headed to Melbourne
where they purchased a
1998 Turbo Diesel Nissan
Patrol. They then set to
work customising their
vehicle for the big event.
“We’ve been working
every night for a month
to get all the stuff done
and talking to different
people about what to get
done, and to strengthen it
up,” said Josh.
Their craftsmanship
will be put to the test
once their car hits the
course, which will feature
a variety of obstacles and
rough terrain designed to
push man and machine to
the limit.
“It’s going to be pretty
extreme from what
we’ve been told,” said
Cameron.
“It’s had the tag for a
long time of being a full
week of sheer hell,” Josh
added.
Josh said driving
responsibilities would be
shared between the two,
with a focus on finishing
each stage rather than
setting blistering times.
The team will treat
the event as a learning
experience before they
launch a more competitive
assault on the 4X4
Extreme next year.
“We’ll be sharing
driving, we’ve both done
a fair bit of 4X4 driving
in the past; nothing to
this extent, but that’s the
learning curve,” said
Josh.
HIGH STAKES: Cameron Holden and Josh Holmes have poured over $30,000 and countless hours
into their Nissan Patrol for the ARB Australian Outback 4X4 Extreme.
“If we go at an easy
pace we should finish
every stage. But we’ll be
aiming to have fun.
“We’re not in it to win
it, we just want to finish
and get the experience for
next year.”
The boys thanked all
the local businesses and
individuals who have
assisted them in their
preparations.
The ARB Australian
Outback 4X4 Extreme
commences on Saturday,
with profits going to
Broken Hill Legacy and
Rotary.
The event will feature
38 teams from Australia,
Venezuela and the USA
competing for $50,000 in
cash and prizes.
Racing will consist
of 20 stages held at
Mt Gipps, Avondale,
Nine Mile, Byjerkerno/
Poolamacca and the
Broken Hill Events
Centre (racecourse).

Shining career cut short
Recently the Barrier Daily Truth began a quest to find Broken Hill’s best
ever footballer. One of the most highly regarded was former North defender
Dave Low who had a magnificent career cut short by World War I. Here is
his story:
By Peter Argent
Dave Low was a footballer whose star shone
brightly - albeit shortly
- because he made the
ultimate sacrifice, dying
fighting for his country
during World War I.
CAREER
CUT
SHORT: Dave Low.
PICTURE: Courtesy
John Storer
He achieved great accolades during his short tenure in the West Torrens
jumper.
In 1912 he won the high-
est individual honour in
the SANFL, the Magarey
Medal, and was the first
permanent defender to
claim the award.
He also captured the
President trophy for the
fairest and most brilliant
player at his club that
same year.
Quoting from the 16th
annual report of the West
Torrens Football Club at
the completion of that season, the publication said:
“The congratulations of
the members will be tendered to Mr Dave Low,
who was awarded the
Magarey Medal for the
Fairest and Most Brilliant
Player in the League.
“That Mr. Low fulfilled
these qualifications goes
without saying, as he is
one of the most gentlemanly and unselfish players that ever kicked a ball.
His success was a popular
one among the players in
the state, and served to add
distinction to the Club.”
From 1910 to 1915 Low
played just 68 games in
the blue and gold jumper
and interestingly never
kicked a goal.
Low quickly made his
mark with the club, in
his initial season being
described as a “strong and
distinguished defender”.
During his short but
highly successful career
Low predominately played
across the half-back line.
By 1911 he was already
in the South Australian
jumper competing against
the might of Victoria.
In this contest, The
Chronicle’s football scribe
said; “Attacks made by
ACTION: Rhys Mutch wins a contested ball for Barrier.
Luca’s big opportunity
A stroke of bad luck
for the visiting Polding
team has presented
Sacred Heart basketballer Luca Napoli with
the biggest opportunity
of his young career.
Polding had one of its
players withdraw from the
NSW PSSA Basketball
carnival at the last
minute, leaving the team
undermanned as game
day loomed.
Fortunately the local
Sacred Heart school falls
under Polding’s selection
zone, which includes all
NSW Catholic Schools
North of Sydney. This
allowed the Polding team
to recruit Sacred Heart
student Luca into its
ranks for the carnival, an
experience the youngster
is relishing.
“One of our players
was very ill and he just
couldn’t recover, so
the parents made the
decision,” said Polding’s
coach Andrew Frawley.
“We had a discussion
and decided we’d invite
one of the local boys and
Sacred Heart was very
keen and excited.
“It’s great. One of
the main reasons we
come here is to promote
basketball, and to have
one of the local kids in is
fantastic.”
The 11-year-old would
otherwise not have had
the chance to compete
in school representative
basketball, with trials for
the Polding team generally
held in cities close to the
NSW coast.
Mr
Frawley
said
Luca had grabbed his
opportunity with both
hands, and was having
an impact in his adoptive
team.
“He’s been playing
well and mixing in well,
I think he’s just really
enjoying it.
“He’s finding his feet in
the team and his position.
He’s playing a role and
playing it very well. I
couldn’t be happier.”
the Victorians along the
outer wing were invariably repulsed by Low ...
he was the pick of the
back men and time after
time he turned the visitors
attacks.”
Low was also part of
the SA side - regarded in
many circles at the best
team the Croweaters ever
produced - which collected the Australasian
Football Championships
that August and was
also runner-up to Harry
Cumberland (Sturt) for the
Magarey Medal the same
season.
In the comprehensive book compiled by
respected
journalists
Peter Cornwall and David
Burtenshaw “The Best of
Both Worlds - The Story
of the West Torrens,
Woodville and Eagles
Football Clubs - Low is
described as a passionate
footballer, one with whom
you didn’t want to tangle.
He played the half-back
position with exceptional
skill and vigour, but was
also equally adept at playing in most other positions
without detriment to his
game.
He also went to a second national football titles
in 1914.

Luca isn’t the only local
player enjoying a bright
start to the carnival, with
the Barrier team recording
a win on the first day of
competition.
The local side overcame
Western in their opening
match 66-29, before
going down to the strong
Mackillop side 25-60.
They will take on
Sydney North, Hunter,
North West and Polding
in today’s matches.
