MADAM, - Here are some more of my memories of Sneyd Colliery.

Working in the colliery office I got to know all the officials who were concerned with the day-to-day running of the mine.

The under-manager, engineers, over-men and firemen all operated from the office, where they submitted reports to their manager on their particular shift.

Nothing ever seemed to run smoothly in such a complex organisation, and there were always problems and arguments.

Mr S W Sanders, the manager, delegated most of these to Richard (Dicky) Boote, the under-manager, who was a formidable man to cross, and generally kept things running.

He became the mine manager when Mr Sanders moved on, and successfully ran the mine from 1954 to 1959. It ceased winding coal in 1962.

Sneyd, like many large employers, was a close community, where men started work from school and many managed to put in 50 years' service. They brought their children into the industry, which was encouraged because of the discipline the parent offered.

Although many miners tried the conditions at other collieries, they often returned to Sneyd.

Senior staff, in particular, brought in their offspring.

The chief mechanical engineer, George Barnes, had the heavy responsibility of all the surface installation. When he retired after 51 years' service, his son Jack, who was a newly qualified engineer, took over.

The same thing happened with Arnold Ashley, the electrical engineer. His son Arnold took over on his father's retirement. Senior key staff lived in substantial colliery houses nearby, where they were on-call 24/7. Joe Eardley, the senior timekeeper, retired in 1959 after 55 years' service. He had an exceptional memory and could remember most of the lamp numbers (the main form of identification) and work places of most of the miners. This information was much in demand.

Harold Machin was senior clerk and had the unpleasant job of making out all official documents for the Inspector of Mines, in particular those which involved death Chopard Replica Watches and serious injury.

The manager's father, Rupert Sanders, worked as a railway wagon repairer under Ted Taylor, foreman and my mentor on starting work.

Eric Broderick, an ex-county cricketer, worked as a storekeeper and was an asset to Sneyd Cricket Club as its captain.

My job was collecting, collating and filing all the many reports for the manager. It involved daily visits to the lamp house to collect the day's attendance figures, and to the weighbridge for the day's tonnage of coal raised. If we reached the tonnage target for the week, the blue flag could be flown from the pithead.

It became uneconomic to continue to wind coal at Sneyd because of the great distances of the coal faces from the pit bottom.

It was decided to sink Wolstanton Colliery's shaft deeper and to connect with Sneyd and the Deep Pit, Hanley, where seams could be reached more easily.

Sneyd was then used to wind materials only and to act as an escape shaft in emergency.

The group scheme was never completely successful. A fire underground in the old seams at Sneyd in 1973 caused ventilation problems

SEMPORNA: Datuk Seri Gan Sau Yah was on a business trip recently when the district here came under the spotlight for the wrong reason.

An armed group raided a seaweed farm and was believed to have abducted two men in waters off Pulau Sebangkat about 15km from here on Feb 8.

Gan, a respectable businessman who is also the Semporna Chinese Chamber of Commerce chairman, said when it made the news, people started asking him how worried he was.

"I asked them to come with me and I would prove to them how safe Semporna is. Name me a place where there are no criminals?

"These things happen but do we allow it to stop what we are doing?

"To me, we should continue with our lives and move on," added Gan during the organisation's Chinese New Year celebration here.

In expressing his confidence in the security forces' ability to deal with the matter, he said as far as the chamber was concerned, they were making extra efforts to convince others that it was safe here.

Three friends, Alexander Ho, Leonard Lai and Soh Kian Tiong, who shared the same passion for diving also did not allow the raid to stop them from launching their diving company.

"The attack is a small glitch and having worked here for the last 15 years in the diving industry, we know.

"It's just a matter of being more alert," said Ho.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim had said that their initial investigations revealed the gang may have planned to rob the company paper bag printing which employed 34 workers whose salaries were due to be paid the same day.

Police also believed the group may not be part of any terrorist groups such as the Abu Sayyaf from the southern Philippines, and described them as a gang made up of foreigners and locals based in Sabah.

So far, no group had came forward to claim responsibility for the raid and police believed they may still be in Malaysian waters.

CHINA has its Great Wall, and Ballina has an 'ugly' one.

Technomarine Replica Watch

The Serpentine residents on the northern shores of North Creek at East Ballina describe the stabilising wall built over an old stone wall as a monstrosity.

"It's the ugliest thing I have ever seen," said resident Margaret Readford.

The new concrete wall, about 30m long and 15m high at the highest point, and with Hermes Replica Mont Blanc Watch Replica drainage pipes and bolts jutting out from it to a length of 20cm and more, was built by Ballina Shire Council in November.

Council's acting group manager (civil services) Paul Busmanis said the style of wall was chosen as it presented the least amount of risks during construction. It cost $140,000.

BALLINA Breakers have big plans for their re-entry to the NSW State Basketball League in 2010.

And to carry out his big plans coach Marty Smith has enlisted big men.

Smith only needed one look at his 2010 frontcourt to dub them 'the wall'.

The nickname brings about memories of the all-conquering Perth Wildcats NBL team whose frontline went by the same name and collected four championships in the 1990s.

Ballina's twin 202cm towers, Jayden Hetherington and Josh Latkovic, have returned to training in great condition as they battle for the starting centre spot and a chance to add the reputation to the nickname, Chopard Fake just like the Wildcats did.

Hetherington is reaping the benefits of a gruelling off-season weights program which has seen him return to the court leaner, stronger and quicker than in his 2008 rookie season.

Latkovic, on the other hand, does not possess the same strength, but his speed, shot-blocking and rebounding abilities have him in the frame for a starting spot.

Smith is unsure how to best utilise his big men but is happy to have the problem.

"At the end of the day, with the options I pandora style beads have, it may end up that they play a fair bit of time alongside each other," Smith said.

"That is a pretty intimidating wall that will confront our opposition."

And Smith won't lose much when he goes to his bench, with the emerging raw talent of Tom Budgie and Jacob King hungry for minutes on the court.

"With another couple of seasons under their belts they are going to leave their own massive impression on this basketball team," Smith said.

Across the court, the 2010 Ballina Breakers are a genuinely tall, long unit.

ghd hair straighteners

Point guard options range from the 183cm John Shmeltzer through to 199cm Dario Strebl.

"It's quite conceivable that we could run a line-up on court this year where all five men are 6-feet plus," Smith said.

Great size is the first step for any successful basketball team.

And if the 2010 Breakers skill-sets are as long as their shorts, they could be in for a big season.
