Aston Villa close to agreeing €3.5m exit for fringe player
Sumeet Paul June 20, 2022
Aston Villa reportedly have an agreement in principle with Trabzonspor for the signing of Trezeguet this summer.
The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Basaksehir, and after impressing during his brief stint it appears as though he has attracted interest from elsewhere.
READ MORE: Five players at risk of leaving Aston Villa this summer
According to Sabah Spor [via Sport Witness], Villa have an agreement in principle with Trabzonspor over a €3.5m exit for Trezeguet.
Given the Egyptian international has just a year remaining on his current contract, has battled his way back from a serious injury and has slipped far down the pecking order at Villa, an exit appears to be the best solution for all parties concerned.
It's added in the report above that Trezeguet will travel with his agent to Turkey to secure an agreement on personal terms, and he will most likely now look forward to a new challenge ahead of the new season.
Having been a pivotal part of the squad in our first year back in the Premier League, Trezeguet has seen the arrivals of top players in his department push him down the pecking order with the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Emiliano Buendia set to feature heavily ahead of him moving forward.
In turn, Villa will want to pocket a decent fee, the player himself will want a more prominent role and Trabzonspor will seemingly sign a player who has proven he can deliver in the Turkish top flight.
With that in mind, an exit seems highly likely, and Villa fans will certainly wish Trezeguet all the best in his future, as he played a key part in our progression to this point.

Sometimes it's what you leave out that counts.
It's the silence between the notes. The … between the words. The suggestion stronger than the showing.
In the early 70s, a nascent version of Sniff'n' the Tears formed in London and worked diligently to build up a following on the small-time club circuit. But no real breakthrough seemed imminent.
Late one night, lead singer & songwriter Paul Roberts found himself unable to sleep in his small flat due to the twin disturbances of a bold mouse and an old, humming refrigerator. Before the noises drove him crazy, he decided to take a walk in the cool, crisp air, and it wasn't long before a killer riff popped into his head. He knew this riff was gold and hied himself back to the mouse, the fridge, and his guitar.
Unfortunately, Roberts soon realized he had lifted the riff from a track by the O'Jays. So, out with the riff. Luckily, his song still sounded pretty good even without the foundation upon which it was built. But "Driver's Seat" would have to wait (and wait some more), as Sniff'n' the Tears disbanded when Roberts moved to Paris for a couple of years. Upon returning to London in 1975, he gave the music biz one more chance before growing disillusioned and turning to painting instead.
In 1977, his former drummer convinced him to get the band back together and they went into the studio to record an album with an eye towards making "Driver's Seat" the lead single. When listening to the finished take, however, something still didn't sound right. It felt cluttered. So they stripped it back further by taking out some of the electric guitar and focusing on the acoustic rhythm. Suddenly, the song came alive with a sense of space and propulsion. Now it sounded sleek and modern and ready for after-dark action.
Due to the usual vagaries of record labels, the release of "Driver's Seat" was delayed by a year and then barely dented the UK charts. However, it slowly gained traction in the US and finally entered the Hot 100 in the summer of 1979, peaking at #15 two years after its recording and six years after its inception.
Here's the sound of New Wave, stylishly shifting gears and cruising towards the 80s.


From the provision of airworthiness management services, it is a short step to provide assistance to aircraft lessors and financial institutions with regard to the oversight of their valuable assets. During the lease process the lessor must accept that the returning aircraft meets the conditions of the initial lease and any amendments in addition to the mandatory requirements of continuing airworthiness. The methodology of assuring commercial and regulatory compliance of the aircraft is that used to issue an Airworthiness Review Certificate.
The aircraft is leased with a CAMO in-place and the operator utilises Mackenzie Morgan for the duration of the lease.
Mackenzie Morgan can provide experienced staff to carry-out routine surveillance audits of the aircraft and documentation to provide the lessor with that re-assurance that the hand-over process will be smooth!

Pre-heat the oven to 400-F degrees. Prepare the unbaked pie pastry in a 9-inch pie tin ready for filling; set aside.
Blend together the pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg yolks and mix again. Gradually add the evaporated milk as you continue to blend the mixture.
Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie pastry shell. Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean. Remove the pie from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425-F degrees.
While the pie is baking, prepare the meringue by beating the remaining egg whites with a dash of salt. Use an electric mixer set on high speed and blend the mixture until foamy.
Gradually add the six tablespoons of sugar about one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat the meringue well after each addition. Your meringue is ready for baking when stiff, glossy peaks form.
Add some of the meringue around the edge of the warm pie. Using the back of a spoon, spread the meringue so that it touches the inner edge of the crust all the way around the pie. Heap the remaining meringue in the center and evenly distribute over the entire pie.
Finish the pie by baking in the hot oven for 5 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Serve.


"Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love."
God is important to your love relationship! Love of God grows as you mature in life. We become grateful for all his gifts, such as the beauty of creation and our family. And we become especially grateful for his forgiveness when we fall. His gifts to us are so plentiful that it becomes only fair and natural that we love him. We begin to appreciate that "God is love." He is a wonderful example of love, because His love is unconditional. We are the happiest when we are living in harmony with God and nature. Someone who loves God will strive to be good, honest, and faithful, and develop all the values necessary to sustain a love relationship through the years. Loving God means you are both trying to live His way and that you are being fair and true to each other.
It burns with blazing flame, a raging fire.
"Husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way."
Marriage is the institution of our Creator and blessed in the ceremony of our Churches to realize God's design for love. Marriage recognizes the interpersonal relationship of man and woman, in which the well-being and self-realization of each partner become a priority for the other. Marriage affords a framework for the mutual love and self-giving of man and woman to each other in human sexuality, and in so doing provides for continuity of the human family. World religions and the Natural Law have always protected the sanctity of marriage and the family.
Jesus Christ stressed the importance of the marriage bond by performing his first miracle at the Wedding Feast at Cana (John 2:1-11)! He supported marriage in his Ministry (Matthew 19:4-9, Mark 10:5-12). It is the Apostle Paul who identifies the marriage of man and woman with the unity of Christ and his Church (Ephesians 5:32).
Marriage provides a solid foundation for romantic love. The union of a man and a woman is natural. The natural language - indeed, the very biology - of the human body is such that the man gives to the woman and the woman receives the man. True love and friendship between a man and a woman grow into a desire for marriage. Marriage gives the couple the grace to grow into a union of heart and soul, and to provide stability for themselves and their children. Children are the fruit and bond of a marriage.
The bond of marriage between a man and a woman lasts all the days of their lives, and the form of the ceremony consists of the mutual exchange of vows by a couple. The man gives the woman a ring, but often there is a mutual exchange of rings. The Church celebration and requirements vary with each particular faith. In the Sacrament of Marriage, both members of the couple have been baptized. In the Catholic and Jewish faiths, the couple marry each other through an exchange of solemn vows and ring(s), with the priest or rabbi serving only as a witness. During the Middle Ages and in times of persecution, such as in England, Ireland, and the British colonies such as Maryland Colony, where public Catholic ceremonies were forbidden, clandestine marriages were considered valid. The marriage could later be blessed from the beginning with a Catholic priest as witness. In many Protestant and Eastern rites, the minister himself marries the couple by pronouncing the couple man and wife after the exchange of vows and ring(s). The marriage is later sealed during the honeymoon through consummation of the marriage act.
What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder."
"The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.
likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does."
"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church.
and the wife should respect her husband."
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
The family is the basic building block of society. The Holy Family is our best example of a loving family. The family is a community of life and love, founded upon marriage, to protect each family member and to communicate love. Marriage provides commitment and security to each member of the family. A family gives you your identity and background, and a sense of belonging. Within our family we are able to share our daily experiences, and give our life meaning. The family is there to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and those important passages in life. The joy of a new baby entering your world is overwhelming. The family is there when you fall, to protect and support you in times of hardship. Your family is an opportunity to grow in virtue, such as love, generosity, and, yes, patience! And one quickly learns that forgiveness is the key to peace.
A child is a blessing from God! The theme of the gift of Life as a blessing of God reverberates throughout Hebrew Scripture, our Old Testament of the Bible (Examples: Genesis 1:27-28; Psalms 127:3-5 and 139:13-16; Proverbs 13:22 and 17:6). We learn in the New Testament that Jesus Christ treasured children in his midst, and in fact said that we must become like children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 18:3).
Remembering a birthday is so very important. Not only is it a celebration of the child's birth and identity, but it is also a celebration of the suffering and joy of the mother, and the celebration of the union of the mother and father!
Grandparents pass on love, spirituality, traditions, and values to their grandchildren, and today many assist in the daily care of children, especially when both parents are working. Relationships between generations give the child a true sense of community. When grandparents are ill or dying, grandchildren see their parents care for them, teaching them to seek not only their own good but also that of others.
As the parents have given life to their children, they have the primary responsibility for the education of their children. The family is the principal school of virtues which are necessary for every society.
The Bible offers some excellent advice on raising children, advice that our permissive society would be wise to heed!
but he who loves his son is diligent to discipline him."
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
"that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth."
"Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they may not become discouraged."

I am a Belgian racing fan and after reading a book (the title escapes me at the moment) about drivers who paid speeds ultimate prize, I am thinking of building a website to honour those who pherished pursuing their dream.
I have started to compile a list of drivers who died in races and in test or qualifing. In all my effort I even stretched beyond F1. I never tought the list would be so enormous. Now I'm looking for some help. I'm still missing a few data in that list and probably made some errors in it. If there are other drivers that are not in the list, but should be feel free to help me make this list as compelete as possible.
Also I would like some articles, bio's, pictures about the drivers in the list. I have already got some material but i haven't got it all worked out yet.
If there are people out there that would like to help, they can drop a note in my mailbox. I will send you the list I compiled (in .XLS format)
I'm not doing this to prove that autoracing is dangerous... i just want to make sure people will remmember those pilots who died with their boots on, doing what the liked. Living life to the fullest.

If I can find my F1 book, I can give you a list of almost every F1 driver that has been kiiled since 1950. But Im sure by the time I do you will have finished your list, but Ill try and help you out.

Rainer Nyberg has a *very* complete list called "Fatal accidents in motor racing", which also covers various other racing categories, apart from GP/F1. Drop him a line at rainer@nyberg.com and he might send you the Word file.

Is it possible that Rainer Nyberg's list could be shown on this thread so we all could see it?
Or perhaps it could go on to one or more of the appropriate web sites. That way he would get full credit for his work.
Barry, I will get in touch with Rainer about that. He sent me the file some time ago - even if the subject is a bit morbid the list is phenomenal in its quality. I could post its contents right here and now but I want to make sure he agrees on me doing so.

I prepared a list sometime ago. It is still "under constuction" and further additions are welcomed.
Any corrections are also welcomed.
I uploaded the .doc file at :
http://w1.859.telia....5900964/F1pics/
So it can be downloaded from there.
Take a look and let me hear your comments.

rainern,
To fill in a gap:
Ken Miles was killed while testing the Ford-J car at (I believe) Riverside, California. You have him listed without any particulars.
Thanks f li
Keep the updates coming...
I appreciate everyone who can help out:)
Maybe someone can help to straighten out more questionmarks.
#13 Racer.Demon
Rainer doing the job himself and joining the Forum in the process is of course a lot better than me doing the honours for him.
Welcome around, Rainer!

Silvio Moser died at Locarno,CH after he... sustained fatal head injuries as he toured round to the pits in his Lola T292 sports car during the Monza 1,000km race, having failed to refasten his harness after an incident out on the circuit. (copyright R.Blinkhorn)
Herbert Muller (b.11 May 1940) died 24 of May 1981 during the rainy 1000km Nurburgring race at the wheel of Porsche 908 (9th in Q. with dr. W.Brunn). On the 13th km, just in the same place, where at the first lap had a high speed (~260km/h) crash Bobby Rahal (Porsche), Muller' car collided with Rahal's car. The full tanks (near 110 Litres) of Bobby's Porsche exploded and Herbert Muller's car wrapped in flames. Four safety cars tried to save him, but... have no chance. The flames cover the hole width of the track. The race was stopped for 20 minutes. After all only the burnt, scorched remains of Mullers car was left...
may be...
Thierry Sabine have rights to be included. He was 1974 French champ on Porsche Carrrera, started in 1975-77 participated in LeMans on 'LeCorbier'-Porsche. He died in helicopter crash 14 Jan 1986 due to sand storm in Mali desert.

Here are a few more additions;
The road accident that killed Stephane Sallaz occured near Le Luc, Frace in February 1999. It also claimed the life of Formula Ford racer Anthony Gheza.
Simon Law was killed driving a Rovercraft at the Brighton National Speed Trials on 11 September 1993.
Roger Freeth was killed on the 18 September 1993 during the Rally Australia.
Neil Davison died when his Caterham crashed at the Ragley Hall Hillclimb on the 10 October 1993.
Neil Shanahan was driving in a Formula Ford race when he died at Oulton Park last year.
Gerry Birrell was killed during the Rouen GP F2 race on the 23rd June 1973.
Shingo Tachi was fatally injured testing his Toyota Supra GT car at the TI Circuit on the 11 March 1999.
Bobby Baird died after an accident in his Ferrari at Snetterton on the 25 July 1953.
Ivor Bueb crashed at the Trophee d'Auvergne at Clermont-Ferrand in July 1959 and succumbed to his injuries on the 1 August.
And Tim Mullen lost his life in a Caterham race two weeks ago.
Thanks for the updates!
They are now incorporated into the file found at :
Thanks also for the warm welcome to this section of Atlas that has been unknown to me previously...!
#20 Barry Lake
Thank you everyone, and welcome Rainer.
I wish you people - and the Internet - were around to help me when I used to do lists of all these sorts of things 20-odd years ago.
Unfortunately, a lot of it is scribbled notes on bits of paper, filed away in various places. If only I'd had a computer back then...
I notice you have Bruce McLaren as "AUS". That should be NZ.
Did you read about Mullen in a magazine report? If so, it shouldn't be difficult to trace the actual date (easier now than later!).
We should try to get rid of as man "00" entries as we can in Rainer's list.
Barry;
Of course it should be NZ...
The Tim Mullen Darren mentioned was Tim Miller in the AUTOSPORT of 07SEP and 14SEP.
He was seriously injured at the 02/03SEP meeting.
However he did later so we don´t have an exact date, at least not from that source.
#23 tombe
Two from your own country.
Sture Selander, killed in his Effyh 500cc F3 at Gardermoen
in Norway in summer 1949.
Ørjan Atterberg, killed in his Focus FJ at Djurgårdsloppet, Helsinki, Finland in may/june 1963.
I'll give you a notice if I can find the exact dates.
BTW Roland Ratzenberger's age is incorrect. In an interview with Christopher Hilton in F1 Racing may 98,Roland's father Rudi reveals that Roland shed two years of his age by advancing his birthdate from 4 July 1960 to 4 July 1962. This because he was worried that he was taking too long to get to Formula 1.
Thanks for those two, Tom;
Yes, I was aware of the DOB for Roland. This file was originally prepared circa 1995 and this error had not been corrected. I noted the year the change to 1960 in my friend JP Cunha site FORIX and questioned him about it.
And he gave me the same answer as you did...
Thanks for pointing it out.

I think I've got something started here.
I haven recalled the title of the book I reffered to :'Grand Prix Requiem' but I can't recall te author.
Now I'm updating my list with the ones form Rainern..
When I'm done with that i will mail my list to you guys
#28 Treeface

Dick Ralstin's site has a story about 3 Indianapolis 500 winners being killed at Altoona Pennsylvania.
The book you are referring to is:
Grand Prix Requiem by William Court, published in 1992 by Patrick Stephens Limited
#30 alessandro silva
A moment's thought reading Rainer's list:
Ugo Sivocci - 1923 (Alfa Romeo P1) Monza testing
Giulio Masetti - 1926 (Delage 12V) Targa Florio race
Luigi Arcangeli -1931 (Alfa Romeo 12C) Monza GP practice
Carlo Felice Trossi - 1949 cancer illness
Giulio Cabianca - 1961 Modena
A book on Mille Miglia can add a dozen, maybe more. For instance: John Heath, HWM, 1956. (Talking of personal destinies, what an HWM car was doing at the Mille Miglia?).
I think this is an endless job. What about the Italian road races of the period 1946/56? And the Liège-Rome-Liège, the Dundrod TT, the Carrera Panamericana, the Formula Junior?
Where do you draw the line? I feel very uneasy both for the subject and for its hopelessness and I do not know if I like this thread.
alessandro;
you are right i suppose, you can add every clubman driver in the world and the list could go on forever.
still it is a (black) part of motorracing history and if someone still feels to add names, feel free to do so.
i agree that it might not be the happiest if themes but still think it is important for historical reasons.
Rainer,
I am not saying that it is not important, but that I have a problem with it. In any case I'll give our Belgian friend information privately as long as it occurs to my memory.
Sadly we need to add two rally drivers to this list, both being killed last weekend. Marco Massarotto of France, driving a Subaru Impreza, slid into an electricity pole on the Rallye de l'Yonne, knocking the pole over. The driver and four spectators were killed, and five others were seriously injured, including the co-driver.
Austrian Herbert Lettner fatally crashed on the Forstinger Rally, sliding his VW Golf TDI into a concrete wall at speed. His co-driver (and cousin) escaped with minor injuries.
#34 Ray Bell
Ray Bell
Tim Mayer died in practice for the Tasman Cup meeting at Longford, that practice being the last session of the day on the Friday. He went over the slight hump in the straight leading to Longford (or 'Pub') Corner, the scene of Lex Davison's big crash two years before. A witness to the event told me that he was sure that the little Cooper would mow down a bunch of schoolboys, but instead it hit a small plane tree at broke in half. I spent an hour or so with Mayer the week beforehand at Lakeside.... I'm currently doing a comprehensive story about his last race at Lakeside, which will naturally include detail about his death etc.
The following year at Lakeside there was a crash involving Davison's protege. The race was run in the wake of Davison's death (referred to previously) at Sandown Park the week before... Rocky Tresise wasn't sure he wanted to carry the responsibility of going on, but ultimately decided to get into the car for the race. All meeting he had been troubled getting into low gear at Mountford Corner, and he got a bad start, too.
Out of Mountford at the end of the first lap, well back with the 1.5 cars (his was a 2.5), he got the gear right and boomed out of the corner in great style, carving his way past the smaller cars. But he still had cars in front of him as he crossed the start line and approached the part of the circuit where the road narrowed.
Robin D'Abrera was taking photos the other side of the fence past the start, standing there with Ray Simpson. Robin had taken pics of the leaders completing the first lap, and was watching the cars disappear over the brow on their rush towards the Viaduct when Tresize ran out of road and barrelled through the fence towards them. Simpson yelled out "Duck!" as he hit the ground, but Robin was not to know anything about it.
At the McLaren party that night, where much champagne was flowing, Graham Matich (Frank's younger brother) was drunkenly raving about Rocky's girlfriend being around other blokes...
There'll be more on this subject when I complete my story about this race. The greatest race I ever saw.
People I've seen die:
Ray Heffernan (Cooper, Oran Park)
John Marchiori (Lotus 20, Oran Park)
Bevan Gibson (Elfin 400 Repco, Bathurst)
Tom Sulman (Lotus 11, Bathurst)
Emmanuel Xuereb (Ford Anglia, Oran Park)
People I've known who've died:
Bruce McLaren (McLaren, Goodwood)
Glynn Scott (Lakeside, Elfin 600 Waggott TCV4)
Max Stewart (Calder, Lola T400)
Colin Trengove (Lola T330, Adelaide Int. Raceway)
Len McDonough (Mini, Sandown Park)
And another couple, who died pursuing his career in racing in a different way, as engineers and designers etc:
Carey Thompson (Sprite - road accident - Larry Perkins' Manager)
Tony Alcock (With Graham Hill in the plane crash, Birrana creator and designer of the Hill GH1)
There are others... I'll come back some time and expand this. Trengove was driving the car owned by Terry Hook, who later died in a Holden in a charity rally.
Have you got any dates on those ?
Has anyone got a good website URL where I can find information and stats on F5000, F2, F3, Nascar, TransAm, CanAm etc.
This is probably broadening the parameters somewhat but I just came across these in "Man Against the Salt" a book about the Land Speed Record that doesn'y impress me with its completeness nor accuracy but does have some information I haven't seen elsewhere.
1960.08.01 Bonneville Salt Flats Utah USA. Athol Graham age 36 killed trying for the LSR in Spirit of Salt Lake City.
1962.09.10 Bonneville Salt Flats Utah USA. Glenn Leasher was killed trying for the LSR in Romeo Palimedes' Infinity.
1970.12.?? Bonneville Salt Flats Utah USA. Noel Black was killed trying for the wheel driven LSR in Motion 1.
I, for one, believe it is important to record the passing of drivers. To me, this is a very valuable thread.
I feel bad that I have not even managed to record all the dates of drivers killed in Australia (although I think I have most of the names). I was hoping Ray Bell might have helped me fill in the gaps. Falcadore gave me one - for Paul Collins, killed at Winton in a Formula Holden 19 June 1994.
Didn't Paul Collins die of a heart attack?
I know he gave a lot of people heart attacks... Len Goodwin, Warwick Brown and Pat Burke among them.
Dates... dates....
I have to add Mike Burgmann to my list of 'seen die.'
Barry, RCN records them all, but for those who weren't able to get 'the bible,' here they are:
Heffernan (31) and Marchiori (27) (separate accidents, different races, same corner) November 20, 1966
Bevan Gibson and Tom Sulman both died in races at Bathurst, so Easter Monday 1969 and 1970 were the dates.
Len McDonough is too hard to find.
Glynn Scott was July 26, 1970... that's the 'unalloyed goodness' obituary referred to elsewhere.
I'll come back to this some time.
Here's another one: Jack Wilson, engine builder and tuner, connected with Len Lukey, workshop accident, Nov 23, 1965. Tom Geoghegan was another, March 5, 1965. Rally driver Graham Stafford, May 22, 1965.
John Delbridge was another victim of the incredibly dangerous Oran Park, September 1, 1970 being the date of his death ten days after crashing there in private practice.
Tim Mayer was 29.2.64, if that was the Friday.
Sorry, I slipped up there. Yes, I think it should read, for Paul Colins, died of heart attack while racing a Formula Holden.
I think he pulled off the track and stopped but was dead when helpers reached him - if I remember correctly.
Thanks for the other dates. Otherwise I would just have to have waited until I stumbled across them while researching other things.
Len McDonough is a new one on me though. Give me some clues and I will see if I can find something on him. If it wan't published, someone must know and, as we know, easier to learn now than later.
Do you know what John Dellbridge was driving? And is that one "l" or two?
I was racing in the same events as Heffernan and Marchiori around the time they were killed. Both were quiet, unassuming people. Lack of money kept me from racing on the weekend they died. I wasn't there - I used to drive a taxi on the weekends I wasn't racing in an endeavour to make enough money to get the next meeting. I knew Marchiori very well but only first spoke to Heffernan on the dummy grid before a race on Warwick Farm short circuit one or two weeks before his death.
Delbridge was with one 'l' I'm sure, and he was in a Mazda 1300 (who needs to go fast to get killed?).
Len McDonough was in a Mini at Sandown. His plastic windscreen had got cracked and he was black flagged, I think, but before he came in he had a crash... between 1979 and 1982, ask Greg Stanfield.
Another one I count in Oran Park's grim tool is Brian Pugh, for although he wasn't killed in the accident with Michael Rock (c 1967) he did suicide as a direct result of it, being made a paraplegic. The other paraplegic from Oran Park was Bruce Moxon's father, don't remember his name now. Backed the Vee into the wall and the crank pulley did no good at all to his spine.
Trying to think of the guy who died at Hume Weir in a Cooper(replica) Peugeot... Bill somebody, friend of Terry Cornelius. Got a nice story in my Newsletter by Terry about it.
Gregg Hansford hasn't been mentioned... Ian Cook was another, that was July 8, 1973, Sandown in a Brabham on his 32nd birthday. Max Stewart, of course, I knew quite well, died Calder in the Lola T400 after eating a heap of sandwiches (quote: Alan Jones) when the front stay of the roll bar went through his visor after nosediving into the Armco after hitting Chas Talbot's car, March 19, 1977.

I might be wrong but I think I can shed a little light on the Len McDonough crash. I clearly remember a Mini steering off the start finish straight and plowing into the bushes there.
I was probably about 10-12 years old so the memory on whom it was who crashed is a bit patchy. I don't have any info on the aftermath of the crash as my Dad said to me that it was time we headed home, which hints at the worst.
I think you may be confused with another one, Matt. There was a Mini went off there and clobbered a marshal or someone who was on the spot, just outside the fence to the old pits... I don't think they were seriously hurt, though. Not sure, but I think McDonough went off at the Causeway.. as I said, Greg Stanfield will know.. he's in Rosanna.
Brian McGuire and Mike Parkes both died in late August, 1977. Kevin James 'Toby' Bent went on Sept 26 that year... aged 67.
Here's one I wanted to remember but couldn't... Peter McCabe died at Lakeside when he crashed his MGB V8, October 9, 1977. Really nice guy, only 28, a farmer, I think, friend of Ray Winter.
#43 Hans Etzrodt
Gaston Chevrolet (USA) died on 29-11-1920 when he crashed his Frontenac at the Beverly Hills Board Track.
Ernst von Halle (D) crashed his Amilcar at the German GP for sports cars and died two days later on 17-7-1928.
Thomas Rich, TR2 or 3 at Catalina, April or May, 1963... John Ward (NZ) at Catalina, too, Lotus Cortina, August 18, 1968.
Hugh Bryson, road crash in Jaguar near Gunnedah, August 13, 1966.
Ken Miles, Riverside, Ford J, August 17, 1966, crashed and burned.
Wally Mitchell (another I was talking to shortly before his death), RM-1 Sports Car, Symmons Plains, crashed March 12, died of burns April 18, 1967.. Lorenzo Bandini died May 9 after crashing May 7 at Monaco.
Bill Stephens was the friend of Terry Cornelius at Hume Weir, June 11, 1967.
A different one... Lionel Schwartz died when the midget he was tuning slipped into gear and took him out into the traffic on Parramatta Road, July 26, 1967.
Peter David and his bride, Kaye Whiteford, daughter of triple AGP winner, Doug Whiteford, September 5, 1967 near Gunning. They were entered together for the Bathurst 500 that year.
Mike Spence, May 7, 1968, Indianapolis, Lotus 56.
Ludovico Scarfiotti, practising for a German hillclimb, June 8, 1968.
David Carter, Formula Vee, January 14, 1969, Warwick Farm. Ran off at Causeway and drowned in dam while practising.
Lucien Bianchi, Le Mans practice in an Alfa, March 1969.
Paul Hawkins, Oulton Pk, Lola T70 (fire), May, 1969.
#45 fines
Along with Gaston Chevrolet Eddie O'Donnell and his riding mechanic, Lyall Jolls were killed. I think I could add quite a lot of Indycar drivers, given time...
Oh, and it was Nov 25, 1920, BTW!
Hans, what about the date format ;)!
One not to be ignored... the ever stupid Clyde Hodgins, motoring journo of great disrepute... May 23, 1971.
Of greater note... Jo Siffert, October 24, 1971, Brands Hatch, BRM.
Emanuel Xuereb, as mentioned previously, Anglia sports sedan, Oran Park.. crashed into the end of the safety fence at the pit entry August 6, 1972, during a shower in the middle of a race, died two weeks later. Service Station proprietor at Granville.
Hengkie Iriawan, 32, Indonesian, died on a go-kart April 23, 1972, at the Singapore Malaysian-Singapore GP festival. Former winner of Malaysian GP.
Couple of oldies... Bud Luke, Bugatti campaigner and photographer of the forties, died two weeks after a hit-and-run accident in Fivedock (Sydney), early 1972, aged 63.
D. A. 'Bill' McLachlan, died aged 54, December 26, 1971.
Forties car-owner Lex Denniston died November 30, 1971.
Well done Ray. I am impressed.
I thought I had all the names of Aussie drivers killed (in Oz, that is), but you've come up with a couple I hadn't remembered.
Jack Myers isn't listed, nor Reg Smith, Ian Mountain, ?? Hough (Lowood, 1962, I think, Cooper Maserati), what others?
Bruce Moxon's father was John Moxon. I was talking to Bruce about the crash at Oran Park the last meeting there. A car went off in the Esses and he said, "Same place my Dad went in".
I am almost certain he said it was the alternator pulley not the crank pulley that went into his back, but I will double check that. I also am fairly confident I asked Bruce for a date on it. I will check my notes of that meeting to see what I can find. Or I will ask Bruce next time I see him.
You have the Max Stewart crash all awry - possibly due to mistaken reporting at the time (Whoops! Hope it wasn't you!). I had always wondered about this so asked Vern Schuppan about it at the Australian Grand Prix a few years back. Tears came to his eyes when he was telling me the story.
It was practice/qualifying. Max was on a hot lap, coming up to pass Chas Talbot. He dived out from behind Chas and ran into the back of Vern's (unsighted) car that was limping to the pits with some sort of engine problem (this is from memory – I have it all noted exactly somewhere). Max went under the back of Vern's car and the wing end plate of Vern's car sliced straight through his helmet and into his face and skull - through an eye.
Max and Vern were good friends and Vern was distraught, as you could imagine.
This is gory stuff, I know, but I always wanted to know, when I was racing, exactly how people died or were injured because I believed it gave me some chance of avoiding having the same thing happen to me.
I used to become very angry when people would try to sweep it under the carpet, or say nothing. That way, the rumours start and everyone has a story – none of them correct. What do we learn from that? Nothing!
Regarding the Mini crash at Sandown, it does sound like the memories of two different crashes are becoming entangled. I only have vague memories of the McDonough crash you're talking about. The windscreen story rings a bell.
The other one I saw live on TV and it was horrific. The Mini went off on the wet grass and the officials ran. Unfortunately one ran the same way as the car was going. It hit him in the legs from behind and he flew backwards onto the bonnet, hitting the back of his head (on the windscreen?).
I was told years later by a friend of the official (who was well known in motor racing circles I think – as an official) that he received serious head injuries and, though he lived, he was never quite the same again.
I think this is the crash Matt is referring to.
Back to The Nostalgia Forum


The "Sports Den" gets a website!
Before I was born my father started a sports shop in the basement of my grandfather's grocery store in Navan, the small Irish town where I grew up.
As the grocery store found it more and more difficult to compete against the national grocery chains that moved into Navan in the 80s and 90s, the Sports Den thrived, gaining a widespread reputation as the place to go, whether you are a fishing, horse riding, golf, or tennis enthusiast. In the late-90s, the grocery store eventually shut down, leaving only the Sports Den.
While most "sports shops" essentially became sports clothing retail outlets, my father's shop sold a surprising breadth and depth of sporting goods, ranging from guns, to hurleys, to fishing bait.
When I was a teenager I spent many days working in the "Sports Den", although I wasn't a terribly effective salesperson since I knew precious little about sport. I seemed to muddle through though.
In recent years my younger brother Simon has been taking over, and as my father did before him, Simon is placing his own stamp on the business.
For the past few months, Simon and Andrew, another of my 3 brothers, have been working on a website for the Sports Den.
They are finally ready to launch it, and it really does look excellent – go take a look at http://sportsden.ie/ and let them know what you think via the "Contact Us" page!

BeanShell is a great tool for Java programmers which allows you to type Java at a command line and have it evaluated immediately, just like languages such as Python.
BeanShell is distributed as a Java .jar file, and while it is pretty easy to run these on a Mac (just double-click), its a bit untidy as they have a generic icon, and tools like LaunchBar don't recognize them as a proper application.
NOTE: I didn't create BeanShell, I've just packaged it. To learn more about BeanShell, or to download its source code visit http://beanshell.org/.

Quicktakes: The month's trends at a glance - September 2005
Sometimes it seems the journalists take pleasure in giving bad news: gas prices, inflation, weather, or gloomy event or trend. They tell a story almost gleefully and in a disassociated manner, telling the rest of us the pain and misery we will suffer, leaving us feeling that the journalists must live somewhere far away that is safe from our troubles. I don't subscribe to any disassociation theory; in fact I have always been annoyed by the righteous tone some journalists take.
However, in the last year, I have tried to cover the same issues more than once-yes, rather like the annoying journalists, harping on the same subject. But, having said that, I still feel compelled to make some comments on the economy. There are some major trends that certainly, if they continue, will have an impact on the gaming industry. One of the trends is the increasing price of crude oil and the ensuing increase in the price at the gasoline pump. Gas prices are dramatically higher than they were last year at this time. (And before I finished writing this hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast and the price of oil went over $70 a barrel. There are predictions now of prices reaching $80 or even $100. Hang-on, this ride is not over.) Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer blamed gasoline prices for slowing sales. Gasoline is connected at least indirectly to every product or service in the economy, and like food it is an essential. That means as it increases, it takes a larger and larger bit out of the disposable income of the average casino player.
…gained $2.08 on the New York Mercantile Exchange to settle at $65.35 a barrel Friday -- still down 2.6 percent from the record intraday high of $67.10 reached Aug. 12. The September contracts expire Monday. Gasoline rose more than 4 cents to settle at $1.9039 a gallon. Edith Balazs, Associated Press,Indianapolis Star, 8-20-05
The average price in Maryland for a gallon of regular unleaded yesterday was $2.58, said AAA Mid-Atlantic. That's five cents higher than the day before, 15 cents higher than Friday and 70 cents higher than a year ago. Jamie Smith Hopkins, Baltimore Sun, 8-17-05
Wal-Mart expects rising gasoline prices to affect its core customer base, and thus revised its third quarter comp sales forecast …"We believe high gas prices will continue to impact a large portion of our customer base and put pressure on our operating results," chief financial officer Tom Schoewe said. Home Textiles Today, 8-16-05
The price of fuel not only affects the disposable income, it affects the cost of getting to a casino. But not yet, as AAA Mid-Atlantic reports record levels of travel. The airlines have only started putting the current fuel prices into the ticket price, but we can expect more. The price is apparently not the only worry. In Las Vegas there are concerns that it is possible to run out of jet fuel; that would definitely have a serious impact on casino revenues.
Lost luggage, bad weather and now ... no fuel? While fliers haven't yet had to add that problem to the list of headaches associated with air travel, it may not be far away. Airports in Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada recently came within a few days -- and at times within hours -- of running out of jet fuel. Because of supply bottlenecks, airlines were forced to fly in extra fuel from other markets and scramble for deliveries by truck. But these are expensive, short-term fixes that do not address what airline executives consider to be the underlying problem: with passenger traffic rising above pre-9/11 levels, the nation's aviation business is slowly outgrowing the infrastructure that fuels it…Late July and early August were "unprecedented for Southwest for the number of cities where we've had to manage supply problems," said Glenn Hipp, director of fuel purchasing and inventory management at Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co. Brad Foss, Associated Press, Las Vegas Sun, 8-11-05
Trend two is the spiraling prices of real estate. The price of real estate has matched the pace of gas prices and then some. Lower interest rates and the excitement of the market conditions have been catalysts to the most dramatic housing market since the end of the Second World War. The sideline pundits (do I qualify?) have been saying for at least a year that this is simply a housing bubble and must one day burst. The opposite opinion holds that real estate never loses its value and it is always worth its price. There are some other factors: the higher prices are pushing people to the very edge of their financial capabilities and creating financing vehicles that will create serious hardships in a few years. Additionally and from a gaming perspective, bigger mortgages mean high payments and less disposable income for the local casino. And here from California, the home of national trends, is a story that suggests the market may be cresting.
In July, the monthly inventory of resale homes for sale in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties combined shot up to 7,263 - the highest for any month since September 1998. As of Thursday morning, the inventory had risen another 26 percent to 9,141 homes, reports TrendGraphix, a local data firm affiliated with Lyon Real Estate of Sacramento…A separate report on sales activity shows the number of existing homes that were sold in the four-county region in July fell 11 percent compared with both the previous month and with July 2004. Andrew LePage, Sacramento Bee, 8-19-05
And finally, one last trend and one undoubtedly related to the other two: consumer saving has dropped. Worse than dropping, in June it stopped. It seems that the well of disposable income ran dry, and that leaves us with borrowed money for our play and fun. Doesn't sound like fun to me.
The personal savings rate is derived by subtracting Americans' total consumption spending from their total after-tax income (i.e. "disposable income"). By definition, the rest is "saving." In 1984, the personal savings rate-savings as a share of disposable income-was 10.8 percent. It's drifted down ever since. It was 4.6 percent in 1995 and 1.8 percent in 2004. It hit zero in June. Robert J. Samuelson, Newsweek, 8-22-05
There, the doom saying is done; it is as painful to me as to anyone interested in the industry. It is the source of most of my income, not only from my writing, but I have casino stocks, an interest in a casino and in slot manufacturing. If things go bad, I too will pay the price, and I hope as much as anyone that the federal government is able to enact an energy policy that will do something about the trend in fuel prices and its impact on the economy.
Regardless of the dark trends elsewhere, the gaming industry is still reporting good results; the only drop in revenues came from Mississippi (the impact in June will be dwarfed by Katrina). Every other jurisdiction saw at least minor gains in revenue.
Nevada casinos also won $954.2 million from gamblers in June - an 11.7 percent gain over the same month in 2004. Adam Goldman, Associated Press, 8-11-05

The NBA All-Star game is going to be played in Vegas in '07; the '05 Detroit version had a $50 million impact on the city; an estimated 45 percent of the attendees went to a casino. That should work in Vegas. But as Vegas and Oscar Goodman celebrate the success, the NFL is still stalking Las Vegas in every place in finds the evil city trying to sneak onto the morally pure and clean football field.
It's official. The 2007 NBA All-Star game will be played in Las Vegas, making it the first city without an NBA team franchise to host the event, league Commissioner David Stern announced Friday. Stern called it "a merger between the basketball capital of the world and the entertainment capital of the world." Casinos won't take bets on All-Star events under a ban proposed by NBA and tourism officials and approved by state gambling regulators. Associated Press, Las Vegas Sun, 8-5-05
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said today's announcement of Las Vegas being the site of the 2007 National Basketball Association All-Star festivities is "a giant step" toward Las Vegas getting a major professional sports franchise. However, Goodman said he would not support a change in laws or policies that would take every game of a particular sport off the betting boards of licensed Las Vegas sports books as a condition of getting a pro sports team. Goodman, at his weekly news conference Thursday, said, however, he would be willing to support a change that would prohibit betting in legal books on a Las Vegas-based team. He called that a "reasonable compromise." Ed Koch, Las Vegas Sun, 8-5-05
The NFL could bar broadcaster NBC from promoting one of its hit shows, 'Las Vegas', when the network begins carrying Sunday night football next year. It stems from the league's ban on advertising related to the nation's gambling capital and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league couldn't rule out extending the ban to the TV series, reports USA TODAY. David Smith, Sport Business, 8-5-05
If one were to try and find the one event that most shaped the course of gaming in Nevada (and of course there is not just one, but hundreds), it would be the Argent Corporation scandal. The mob in Kansas City had found a way to get money out of Nevada by the wheelbarrow load. Nevada regulators were forced to close the loopholes that the mob had been exploiting. The elaborate internal controls that all casinos have to implement and that regulators use to control processes in casinos have their genesis in that case. It also gave Dennis Gomes's career a boost upwards; you remember Dennis, he is the guy who figured out the slot scam as a gaming investigator, and as a general manager in Atlantic City, gave us the tic-tac-toe playing chickens.
Reputed mafia figure Charles D. Moretina, convicted in 1983 in a casino skimming investigation that effectively marked the decline of organized crime's influence in Kansas City, died Sunday. He was 77…Moretina and two other local crime figures, Carl "Cork" Civella and Carl "Tuffy" DeLuna, were among 11 men indicted in the scheme, which saw unreported casino cash shuttled into Kansas City in a courier's luggage…The government argued in court that the skimmed money was the key sustenance for Kansas City organized crime. Federal investigators found that participants had skimmed more than $280,000 from the Tropicana and about $2 million from casinos run by Argent Corp. Kansas City Star, 8-17-05
And what is Harrah's up to these days? On the move as usual. Rather like commenting on the price of gasoline, sometimes it seems that Harrah's gets too much attention. On the other hand, Harrah's strategic moves are very often indicative of trends that will eventually impact the entire gaming industry. To keep up with Harrah's almost requires a dedicated daily effort. Harrah's seems always looking beyond the casino floor to find ways to improve its business and beyond the casino business to find ways to improve its casinos. Harrah's announced a very good second quarter; however like the rest of the industry, Harrah's will pay a very high price for Katrina's visit.
Harrah's Entertainment Inc., which recently completed its $9 billion buyout of rival Caesar's Entertainment Inc., said Thursday its second-quarter profit grew 17 percent as gambling increased across its chain of casinos. Net income rose to $105.8 million …from $90.2 million…Second-quarter results included 17 days of contributions from Caesars, which was acquired by Harrah's on June 13, allowing the company to maintain its position as the world's largest gambling company in terms of revenue. Quarterly revenue totaled $1.47 billion, up 42 percent from $1.04 billion a year earlier and beating analysts' consensus target of $1.42 billion. Caesar's casinos added $181.8 million in revenue. Adam Goldman, Associated Press, Yahoo! Finance, 8-4-05
Harrah's is certainly trying to become a major player in racinos. It may not be the market leader, but whenever there is an opportunity, expect Harrah's to be standing in the queue.
GTECH Corporation has sold its one-third interest in Turfway Park to the track's remaining partners, Harrah's Entertainment and the Keeneland Association, the Florence, Kentucky, track announced Tuesday… Built in 1959 as Latonia, a nod to the original Latonia that operated from 1883 to 1939 about 10 miles north of the present site, the track was sold and renamed Turfway Park in 1986. GTECH, Harrah's Entertainment, and the Keeneland Association purchased Turfway Park in partnership in 1999. Blood Horse News, 8-2-05
Mayor Street's Gaming Advisory Task Force has considered 11 sites for two slot machine parlors and has ruled out three possible scenarios for where they should go. A report being released today says the city could not handle the traffic if both slot parlors were built either at the Navy Yard or on East Market Street, or if one was on Market Street and the other was at Penn's Landing. The most profitable scenario, the report says, would be to split the locations, with one on the Delaware River waterfront and the other near the intersection of the Schuylkill Expressway and Roosevelt Boulevard...That should come as welcome news for Harrah's…Harrah's owns a waterfront plot on South Christopher Columbus Boulevard. Ameristar has an option on a waterfront plot in Fishtown. Chris Brennan, Philadelphia Daily News, 8-15-05
For decades in this faded shipbuilding city [Chester, Pennsylvania], it seemed that prosperity only knew the way out of town. The manufacturing jobs that were plentiful in the 1950s are mostly gone, the victims of technology and cheaper foreign labor…But city officials hope to restore Chester's most impressive asset - three miles of frontage on the Delaware River - to prominence with the help of something as simple as highway ramps connecting I-95 to the city's main riverfront thoroughfare, nicknamed "the industrial highway."…Currently, Chester's waterfront is bookended by the seeds of revival. At one end, in the shadow of the Commodore Barry Bridge, is the city's new Barry Bridge Park and boat launch and a former, neoclassical coal-fired plant that has been restored as modern office space. At the other end is construction on what will be Harrah's Chester Casino and Racetrack, set to open next year. Marc Levy, Associated Press, Philadelphia Daily News, 8-8-05
Indian gaming is, of course, another area in which Harrah's has been successful and continues to work to gain new opportunities. Indian country is one place that previous successes really help gain access to new opportunities, and Harrah's experience and reputation with tribes in Arizona, California and North Carolina help in getting new contracts.
Former Gov. Don Siegelman said Friday that if he were Alabama's next governor, he would try to negotiate a compact with the Poarch Creek Indians that would allow them to operate full-fledged casinos, provided they paid substantial money to the state…The governor said he doesn't like casino gambling, but he expects the Poarch Creek Indians' gambling halls in Atmore, Montgomery and Wetumpka to keep growing because the tribe is working with Harrah's. Phillip Rawls, Associated Press, Las Vegas Sun, 8-8-05
Supporters of a proposed Narragansett Indian casino told Rhode Island's high court on Monday that the state would have operational control of the gaming site. …The House of Representatives asked the high court for an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of the casino proposed by Las Vegas-based Harrah's Entertainment and the Narragansett Indian Tribe. The justices did not indicate when they would rule on the request. Ed Tucker, Associated Press, Las Vegas Sun, 8-16-05
An environmental study is under way for the planned $250 million Harrah's casino in the Fresno County foothills, and if all goes as planned, ground could be broken by early 2007, a tribal official said Tuesday. …The 1.3 million-square-foot casino will include 2,000 slot machines, 40 table games, a 221-room resort hotel, a 2,500-person outdoor amphitheater and retail shops, according to the latest plans. E.J. Schultz, Fresno Bee, 8-19-05
The biggest story of the month for Harrah's may be in Vegas. Quietly Harrah's has bought some addition property on the Strip that may lead to one of the mega casino complexes like the one MGM Mirage is building, or the one George Clooney is said to be involved in creating. At this point Harrah's has as large a piece of the Strip as anyone, a seemingly blank slate on which to write the Harrah's name.
After years of struggling to compete with the ever-growing roster of Las Vegas mega-resorts, the 166-room Bourbon Street hotel-casino will finally close…Harrah's Entertainment, which purchased Bourbon Street last March for $61 million, says it will close the property by Oct. 31. Harrah's has also purchased land across from Bourbon Street. Anthony Curtis, Las Vegas Advisor, 8-7-05
Harrah's Entertainment Inc. has signed an agreement to purchase the Imperial Palace for $370 million, giving the company a larger foothold on the Strip and ownership of four adjacent casinos… Imperial Palace is located between Harrah's Las Vegas and the O'Shea's and Flamingo casinos, both of which Harrah's acquired from Caesars. Also this year, Harrah's acquired the Bourbon Street, a small hotel and casino on eight acres behind the Flamingo, as well as a few acres adjacent to the property. Across Flamingo Road from its Flamingo resort, Harrah's expects to redevelop and rebrand its Bally's Las Vegas property. Liz Benston, Las Vegas Sun, 8-23-05
At 5 a.m. this morning, the last of those walls came down as Harrah's Entertainment Inc. opened the Palace's 949-room Augustus hotel tower at the corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard…The $289 million tower gives Caesars about 40 percent more rooms… Liz Benston, Las Vegas Sun, 8-12-05
The integration of the acquired properties and databases is a challenge and will take a long time. It is said that the Horseshoe database has been absorbed, but whether the management teams and strategies have been internalized is another issue altogether. It is particularly important in the case of the Horseshoe brand, because Harrah's wants to extend the brand and replace some of its properties with the Horseshoe name. That suggests that it is necessary to understand the brand and the Binion strategies. With that process in motion it is now time to try and do the same with arguably the most recognized brand in the industry: Caesars. There will be name changes and rebranding of some former Caesars properties; some like Ballys will probably be something much different than its former identity. And it will take at least another year to fully integrate the Caesar's database, but then 40 million names may be worth the wait. As that process continues, so does the process of associating the Harrah's brand with other national brands in a way that no other casino company has even approximated. And don't forget Singapore; Harrah's is on the list of potential operators waiting for one of the two licenses to build a property: sounds like a job for the Caesars brand to me.
Harrah's $9.4 billion dollar buyout of Caesars Entertainment was finalized in June this year but the work of tying the two companies' databases together will cost $130 million. It will take another year before Harrah's finally integrates Caesars' 15 million Connection Card members into its own list of 25 million Total Rewards members to create a database of 40 million customers…"The value is immeasurable," Internet Marketer Jay Schwartz said. "It's probably more valuable than the properties themselves. It's massive. It's one of (every) seven Americans." Steven Mihailovich, Business Press, 8-15-05
With its recent acquisitions of Caesars Entertainment and Horseshoe Gaming complete, casino behemoth Harrah's Entertainment (NYSE: HET) is expected to move forward predominantly with three brands: Harrah's for retail, the Horseshoe for high-end local casinos, and Caesars for premium resorts …Harrah's announced that it would rebrand the newly acquired Caesars Indiana property in Elizabeth, Ind…using…Horseshoe brand. Caesars' Grand Casino Biloxi along the Mississippi Gulf Coast will get the same treatment, making the two casinos the fifth and sixth Horseshoe-branded properties under Harrah's control. Jeff Hwayng, Motley Fool, 8-19-05
Singapore will modify some rules for the city-state's first casino-resorts after consulting bidders including Harrah's Entertainment Inc. and Las Vegas Sands Corp. In June the city-state delayed to the third quarter from the second releasing its request for proposals, which would spell out guidelines for its casino-resorts for the dozen bidders, which include Kerzner International Ltd. and Genting Bhd. Gambling Magazine, 8-16-05
It almost seems unfair. Whatever Harrah's wants it seems to get, well at least until August 29th when Hurricane Katrina visited the Gulf Coast. Harrah's just hired a good old boy to shake hands and declared its intent to add more rooms in New Orleans; and then along came Katrina. Even the industry's largest company is helpless in the wake of the storm. In fact, Harrah's is as weak and helpless now as the thousands of other homeless people whose homes were destroyed.
Former NFL quarterback and current Shreveport resident Billy Joe Tolliver has joined the staff of Horseshoe Casino and Hotel and Harrah's Louisiana Downs to work in player development. Tolliver joins the company as an executive casino host focusing on developing high-end players as well as hosting a variety of golf tournaments. Tolliver attended Texas Tech, where he held every single-game and nearly all career passing records, including yardage and touchdowns in a single game. In his 11-year NFL career, Tolliver played for the San Diego Chargers, Atlanta Falcons, Houston Oilers, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears. Cristina Rodriguez, Shreveport Times, 8-16-05
Harrah's Entertainment Inc., which won a concession from the Legislature in 2001 to own and operate a 450-room hotel at its downtown New Orleans casino, now says that's not enough to accommodate its visitors. …Harrah's has told the Greater New Orleans Hotel and Lodging Association that it wants to lift or lighten the restrictions on the number of hotel rooms it can operate. Channel 6 WDSU, 8-19-05
There is good management and bad management; the judgments are usually subjective and based on personal experience with a company or specific individuals. Sometimes the results in public companies can be used to measure management skill; rarely does one get a court opinion to support an opinion. In a case in court in California the federal government was judged to be a bad manager, to the tune of $93.6 million. The arbitration panel ruled the government's management of a California card room had reduced the value of the casino from $150 million to $16.5 in just six years. Gives new meaning to government ineptness, doesn't it?
George Hardie, ex-manager of the Bicycle Club, may land most of a $93.6 million settlement...Legal proceedings over the U.S. government's six-year attempt to operate an infamous Los Angeles-area card room in the 1990s, could land a Las Vegas businessman the bulk of a $93.6 million arbitration award, court documents show….U.S. Department of Justice seized a 45 percent ownership and management status in the Bicycle Club in 1993 as a result of forfeiture proceedings that involved one of the club's original owners. The government then tried to operate the gambling parlor, which had been billed as the state's largest card room, but met with little success, eventually selling its stake in 1999...ruled…in favor of Hardie and his partners, awarding a $93.6 million figure based on what should have been the value of their ownership, six years of lost profits and various additional damages. The Bicycle Club, the arbitration panel found, suffered severe and steady declines in gross revenues and profits during the government's stewardship, reducing a business that was worth $150 million to a value of about $16.5 million six years later. Howard Stutz, Gaming Wire, Las Vegas Review-Journal, 8-19-05
And on the subject of government management, a small update on Pennsylvania. When the law enabling slot machines first passed in Pennsylvania, the slots seemed to be nearly on the trucks, ready to deliver and install and for all of the people who have to travel all the way to Atlantic City, ready to play. A year later that delivery seems no closer, in fact with the realities of the layers of regulation and political battles over privileges and locations, those slot machines may be farther away than they were last year. The gaming commission is just about formed, but most communities have formed their own review process for locations and no investigations have begun, much less licenses issued. And the local battles have heated up, with the battle for Gettysburg serving as the perfect metaphor.
Gettysburg is essential to our national identity…the epic three-day Battle of Gettysburg, with 51,000 dead and wounded soldiers, determined that we would, indeed, be "one nation," free of slavery. After the smoke cleared on July 4, 1863, 2,400 shocked townspeople buried the dead and cared for 21,000 wounded soldiers from both sides. In his Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln said the world "can never forget" what the soldiers did in securing a "new birth of freedom." Now, the two million heritage tourists who arrive here yearly may soon pass by the proposed Gettysburg Gaming Resort and Spa …is proposing a 200-room hotel, spa and gambling parlor that would start with 3,000 slot machines and aim to expand to 5,000…. No Casino Gettysburg conducted a survey of 300 visitors over the crowded July 4, 2005, weekend and found that 96 percent opposed the casino, and 53 percent said they would not return if one were built. Susan Star Paddock, Philadelphia Daily News, 7-26-05
The Rooney family, owners of Yonkers Raceway and the Pittsburgh Steelers, may have welcomed video lottery machines at their harness track with open arms, but it is a different story in Pittsburgh. In that city, the Rooneys are trying to block a video slots parlor from moving onto a lot near Heinz Field, where the National Football League team plays. Yonkers residents who protested having a "racino" in their backyard now are calling the situation a double standard…At Yonkers Raceway, the Rooneys plan to unveil 5,500 video lottery terminals in September 2006. A $185 million renovation and expansion is under way to update the century-old track and to make room for the new gambling operations. Hannan Adely, Westchester Journal News, 8-23-05
Bethlehem City Councilman Gordon Mowrer's status as a Moravian minister grabs more attention these days as he leads a fight to keep slot machines out of the city. The Moravians, whose ancestors settled here in 1741, oppose gambling on moral grounds and two months ago launched a public campaign against a $300 million slots parlor proposed for the former Bethlehem Steel plant… Mayor John Callahan describes the slots parlor as the vehicle that can jump-start the Steel site's redevelopment and preserve historic industrial buildings…The Sands, considered a front-runner for one of the state's two available licenses for free-standing slots parlors, started its public relations campaign during Musikfest, sponsoring a promotional tent and going public with a plan to light up the iconic Steel blast furnaces as a symbol of the Sands' commitment to redevelop the South Side. Nicole Radzievich, Morning Call, 8-23-05
It would be impossible to sum up the month of August at this point; in the last few days of the month an event took place that will have major implications for the entire economy. A hurricane hit the Gulf Coast and the damage is dramatic. Casinos like most businesses are closed, employees evacuated, and no one knows quite when life will return to normal. Last year's hurricanes caused Mississippi to rethink the idea of riverboat casinos in general; this storm should cause every jurisdiction to reexamine the concept; it is dangerous, too dangerous. And it also illustrates how frail an economy can be; Biloxi, for example, is the poster child for casino successes; Biloxi went from one of the poorest counties in the country to a very healthy and profitable economy. New construction had popped-up all around, the new Hard Rock and many remodels. The Hard Rock now has to be rebuilt and is probably a year rather than a day from opening. The lesson is clear for the legislators--when your economy is built on such a frail premise, do everything you can to protect it from destruction. Destruction may be too strong a word to use in a month or a year when we know all of the effects of this story, but it is not too strong a word for the last day of August 2005.

Mary Bridge Children's team helps Parker find courage
Parker Marion likes to be active — he enjoys basketball, wall ball, playing cello. Parker also lives with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Dec 2nd, 2020
By Kortney Scroger
Like many 11-year-old kids, Parker Marion likes to be active — he enjoys basketball, wall ball, playing cello and he's even on the safety patrol at his school. Parker also lives with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Parker had his first visit to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital at just one month old. A decade later, he's a Mary Bridge Children's veteran. Parker's diagnosis has resulted in a lot of time with Mary Bridge Children's doctors, nurses and specialists both inside and outside of the hospital. But, Parker says that's not always so bad.
"The doctors at Mary Bridge always find a way to make me smile no matter what's happening," Parker says.
Doctors like Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist, Mark Boseley, MD.
Dr. Boseley has been part of Parker's care team since he was seven years old. As a result of his CF, Parker develops polyps in his nose that require removal. Since his first surgery, Parker has had four additional polyp removal procedures, one every six months, that require a hospital stay — often in isolation. He also has frequent screenings, which can be painful.
"I can't say enough about Parker," Dr. Boseley says, "He's a delightful young man and is mature beyond his years. He always has a smile on his face, even when having to endure uncomfortable procedures in our office. I think we can all learn a lot from Parker's resilience."
Dr. Boseley is a source of comfort for Parker, along with Child Life Specialists like Kelsey Mitchell who works primarily with ENT patients.
"Kelsey really works on keeping Parker calm especially when he has to get screened for polyps, which requires a scope that can be painful," Parker's mom, Victoria, says.
The Child Life team is a donor-supported program that helps comfort, entertain, teach and even distract patients when they are in Mary Bridge Children's Hospital or clinics. For Parker, this means keeping him calm during scopes and explaining what will happen during procedures.
His medical history would be a lot for an adult, but this fifth grader greets every day with a smile, a sarcastic joke and a whole lot of courage.
"Parker knows he's brave, because he can make it through these surgeries and hospital stays," Victoria says. "If he fights, he'll come out fine on the other side."
The new Mary Bridge Children's Hospital will be designed to meet the needs of kids like Parker.
"The new Mary Bridge Hospital will allow for us to even better care for children with complex medical needs," Dr. Boseley says. "I anticipate that the new hospital will entice even more of our nation's top doctors to relocate to our area. We will also have access to state-of-the-art technology in a space dedicated to our pediatric patients, making for an improved patient experience.
Mary Bridge Children's patients will be able to receive specialty care and surgery all in one child-centered facility. The new hospital will provide Mary Bridge Children's with the opportunity to build one of the nation's top surgical programs.
