"I never dreamt that she would do it": Daughter takes 85-year-old father’s life savings

<p>When Ray Thomson lost his life savings, he also lost the daughter he thought loved him the most.</p> <p>"I was led to believe she was doing everything for me. She was alright but she was doing everything for herself - with my money," he says.</p> <p>Over two years, Thomson's daughter Helen Williams robbed her father of everything he had, cleaning $320,000 out of his bank account, leaving him with just $20. </p> <p>The blind man now lives in a rest home, in a single, sparsely decorated room, a transistor radio among his meagre possessions.</p> <p>In January, Williams was sentenced to 12 months' home detention for her deceit, a crime she says was motivated by a gambling and drug addiction.</p> <p>Thomson can't talk about what his daughter did without breaking down. She was going to get half his money when he died but she couldn't wait, Thomson says - her "plain greed" got in the way.</p> <p>"I never dreamt that she would do it. I was completely taken in by it and by the time I had woken up to what happened, it was too late.</p> <p>"As far as I am concerned she's not my daughter."</p> <p>The first inkling Thomson got of there being a problem was when the council got in touch about his rates account being in arrears.  </p> <p>He remembers being taken by surprise. "I've never owed anyone in my lifetime," he says. </p> <p>When he checked with his daughter, he says she reassured him there had been a mistake, that there was nothing to worry about.</p> <p>As power of attorney, she was able to withdraw money from his account at will and while she spent it paying back her own debt, grocery bills and on a trip, her father went without. On one occasion Thomson had no hot water for six weeks as his unpaid bills mounted up.</p> <p><strong>'She cut me off'</strong></p> <p>During the time she stole from him, his daughter was a constant presence in Thomson's life. She made sure she was often the only person he would see for days.  </p> <p>"Every time she was at my place - she'd be there most times - she told everyone that I was not there. She cut me off from anyone that I knew," he says.</p> <p>Williams went to extraordinary lengths to keep her father in the dark about what she had been doing, reassuring him constantly and even intercepting the mail. </p> <p>But when the money ran out, Thomson's lawyer turned up with the news he had just $20 to his name.</p> <p>His life suddenly revealed to be in tatters, Thomson was forced to sell his house and move into a rest home. </p> <p>"I still think back on the episode and about what's happened but I will never forgive her for what she's done to me."</p> <p>He says people who prey on the elderly "should be disgusted with themselves." </p> <p>Thomson says even if family are involved in helping out, his advice to others is to be wary and ask questions if something is amiss.</p> <p>"Be cautious, be on the alert."</p> <p>"You don't expect those sorts of things to come from your own family."</p> <p><em>Written by Deena Coster.

Dean Stockwell, star of Quantum Leap and Blue Velvet, dies at 85

<p dir="ltr">Actor Dean Stockwell has passed away at the age of 85. According to a family spokesperson, Stockwell died of natural causes at home over the weekend, leaving behind a legacy that includes an early career as a child actor before quitting the industry at the age of 16, only to be drawn back into it in his 20s, where he would go on to star in films such as<span> </span><em>Quantum Leap, Blue Velvet, Dune,<span> </span></em>and<span> </span><em>Married to the Mob.</em></p> <p dir="ltr">His family said in a statement, "Dean spent a lifetime yo-yoing back and forth between fame and anonymity," his family said in a statement. Because of that, when he had a job, he was grateful. He never took the business for granted. He was a rebel, wildly talented and always a breath of fresh air."</p> <p dir="ltr">Stockwell, born to actor parents, grew up in North Hollywood, and started his career as a child actor during Hollywood’s Golden Age, making his Broadway debut in 1943 before being signed to a contract with MGM that saw him starring alongside Gregory Peck in<span> </span><em>The Valley of Decision<span> </span></em>and Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in<span> </span><em>Anchors Aweigh,<span> </span></em>both when he was just nine years old. In 1947, at the age of 11, he starred alongside Peck once more in Elia Kazan’s<span> </span><em>Gentlemen’s Agreement,<span> </span></em>playing Peck’s son.</p> <p dir="ltr">The 1950s saw him move back and forth between film and the emerging medium of television, before taking a break in 1951 and not acting again until 1956. The late 50s, 60s, and 70s saw Stockwell primarily appearing in countless television shows such as<span> </span><em>Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dr Kildare, Bonanza,<span> </span></em>and<span> </span><em>Wagon Train</em>, although there were a few memorable forays into film, including a role in<span> </span><em>Psych Out<span> </span></em>alongside Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">🎶 In Dreams 🎶 The late Dean Stockwell in David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET (1986) 💙🎙 <a href="https://t.co/H3wZmmyvMC">pic.twitter.com/H3wZmmyvMC</a></p> — Criterion Collection (@Criterion) <a href="https://twitter.com/Criterion/status/1458130558584774656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2021</a></blockquote> <p dir="ltr">The 80s saw him star in some of his most memorable roles, such as Walt Henderson in<span> </span><em>Paris, Texas</em>, and Ben in David Lynch’s 1986 film<span> </span><em>Blue Velvet,<span> </span></em>after previously working with Lynch in his 1984 adaptation of<span> </span><em>Dune.<span> </span></em>For his role as Tony “the Tiger” Russo in the 1988 film<span> </span><em>Married to the Mob,<span> </span></em>Stockwell was nominated for an Oscar.</p> <p dir="ltr">Another memorable role of Stockwell’s was that of Admiral ‘Al’ Calavicci in the sci-fi series<span> </span><em>Quantum Leap,<span> </span></em>which ran for five seasons between 1989 and 1993 and for which he was nominated for four Emmy Awards. Co-star Scott Bakula, who played Dr. Sam Beckett, said of Stockwell, “He became a dear friend and a mentor and we grew very close over the next five, very intense years… In spite of having a career that came and went several times during his seventy plus years in the business, he was always grateful and delighted to have the chance to keep working.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: Jim Russell/Toronto Star via Getty Images</em></p>

The $85 million plan to desalinate water for drought relief

<p>The deal to crank up Adelaide’s desalination plant to make more water available to farmers in the drought-stricken Murray-Darling Basin makes no sense.</p> <p>It involves the federal government paying the South Australian government up to A$100 million to produce more water for Adelaide using the little-used desalination plant.</p> <p>The plant was commissioned in 2007 at the height of the millennium drought. It can produce up to 100 gigalitres of water a year – enough to fill 40,000 olympic sized swimming pools. But has been used sparingly, operating at its minimum mode of 8 gigalitres a year, because of the expense of turning seawater into freshwater.<span class="attribution"><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" class="license"></a></span></p> <p>Adelaide has continued to mostly draw water from local reservoirs and the River Murray, which on average has supplied about half the city’s water (sometimes much more).</p> <p>But with federal funding, the desal plant will be turned on full bore. This will free up 100 gigalitres of water from the Murray River allocated to Adelaide for use by farmers upstream in the Murray Darling’s southern basin.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://images.theconversation.com/files/301212/original/file-20191112-178525-auvb3v.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1000&amp;fit=clip"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/301212/original/file-20191112-178525-auvb3v.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;fit=clip" alt="" /></a> <span class="caption">The southern Murray–Darling Basin.</span> <span class="attribution"><a href="http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/research-topics/water/aust-water-markets-reports/awmr-2015-16/southern-murray-darling-basin#region-overview" class="source">ABARES</a>, <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" class="license">CC BY-NC</a></span></p> <p>The federal government expects the water to be used to grow an extra <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-07/how-will-the-sa-desal-plant-revival-help-australian-farmers/11682044">120,000 tonnes of fodder</a> for livestock. The water will be sold to farmers at a discount rate of A$100 a megalitre. That’s 10 cents per 1,000 litres.</p> <p>By comparison, the residential price for that <a href="https://www.sawater.com.au/accounts-and-billing/current-water-and-sewerage-rates/residential-water-supply">water in Adelaide</a> would be A$2.39 to A$3.70 per 1,000 litres.</p> <p>The production cost of desalinated water is about <a href="https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/water/resources/desalination">95 cents per 1,000 litres</a> when there’s rainwater already stored, according to a cost-benefit study published by the SA Department of Environment and Water in 2016. That means the total cost for the 100 gigalitres will be about A$95 million.</p> <p>So the federal government is effectively paying A$95 million to sell water for A$10 million: a loss to taxpayers of A$85 million.</p> <p><img src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/301431/original/file-20191113-77363-3vm9vd.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;fit=clip" alt="" /> <span class="caption"></span> <span class="attribution"><span class="source">The Conversation</span>, <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/" class="license">CC BY-ND</a></span></p> <p><strong>What do we get for the money?</strong></p> <p>The discounted water provided to individual farmers will be capped at <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-07/drought-stimulus-sa-desalination-plant-murray-river-water-farms/11679136">no more than 25 megalitres</a>. The farmers must agree to not sell the water to others and to use it to grow fodder for livestock.</p> <p>There are many different forms of fodder but livestock producers most favour lucerne hay because it is highly nutritious. But it is also more expensive than cereal, pasture or straw hay.</p> <p>The amount of hay that can be grown with a megalitre of irrigation water depends on many things, but 120,000 tonnes with 100 gigalitres is possible in the right conditions.</p> <p>In the Murray-Darling southern basin lucerne hay currently sells for <a href="https://www.dairyaustralia.com.au/industry/farm-inputs-and-costs/hay-report">A$450 to A$600 a tonne</a>. That would make the market value of 120,000 tonnes of lucerne A$54 million to A$72 million.</p> <p>It means, on a best-case scenario, the federal government will be spending A$85 million to subsidise the production of hay worth A$72 million to its producers.</p> <p><strong>The reality of farming</strong></p> <p>In practice farms and farmers are incredible diverse, so not all irrigators will necessarily grow lucerne. Alternative fodders such as pasture or cereal hay generally have much lower market values. Which meaning the value of the fodder produced may be much less than the best-case scenario.</p> <p>It’s worrying that this policy shows such little regard for farming realities. It appears to have been crafted on the premise that every farmer has the same land, the same equipment and the same needs.</p> <p>Dictating the water must be used for a single purpose runs counter to the needs of the agriculture sector. If farmers could put it to a more effective use, why not allow it?</p> <p>In addition, it’s not clear how all the monitoring will be done to maintain compliance over such a restrictive regime.</p> <p>What measures will prevent farmers buying the discounted water and then simply selling an equivalent amount of any carry-over allocation at the going rate of up to <a href="http://www.bom.gov.au/water/dashboards/#/water-markets/national/state/at">$1,000 a megalitre</a>?</p> <p>How will the government distinguish between the fodder grown with the 25 megalitres provided at low cost and any other fodder harvested on the same farm? How much will it cost to monitor and enforce such arrangements?</p> <p>The difficulty of answering these types of questions is precisely the reason why countries in the former eastern bloc failed to adequately provide for their populations. Telling people what crop to grow, when to grow, how to water the crop and how it should be consumed has not worked in the past. Farm businesses that respond to prices and use inputs, including water, in a way that suits their long- term commercial needs are generally better off.</p> <p>It seems a long way from the type of national drought policy Australia needs. It’s hard to see how a policy of this kind does anything other than waste a large amount of public money and disrupt important market mechanisms in agriculture in the process.<!-- Below is The Conversation's page counter tag.

85 plumbers on board flight unable to fix plane's broken toilet

<p><span>A Norwegian Air flight had to turn around shortly after take-off due to a problem with the toilets, despite there being 85 plumbers on board.</span></p> <p><span>On Saturday, the plane travelling to Munich from Oslo was already 34 minutes late but didn’t get past the Swedish border after experiencing a problem with the toilets, reported Norwegian newspaper <em>Dagablat.</em></span></p> <p><span>“It is true that DY1156, who was to fly from Oslo to Munich, had to turn to Oslo again when they found a mistake on the toilets on board. The plane had to circulate over Hedmark to get rid of fuel so it was not too heavy to land,” communications adviser Fatima Elkadi told <em>Dagbladet.</em></span></p> <p><span>The plan seats 186 passengers and 60 to 70 of those on board were plumbers all from the same company, with others from the industry onboard as well.</span></p> <p><span>The plumbers were on their way to a trip to Munich with their company.</span></p> <p><span>“We would have liked to fix the rest rooms, but unfortunately it had to be done from the outside and we did not take the opportunity to send a plumber [out] at 10,000 metres,” the CEO of the plumbing company, Frank Olsen, told the paper.</span></p> <p><span>A spokesman from Norwegian Air said the aircraft was fixed and continued on a flight later the same day.</span></p> <p><span>“We would like to thank passengers for their patience and would like to apologise for the inconvenience,” the spokesman said.</span></p>

85-year-old woman saved after falling from cruise ship

<p>A woman who fell overboard during a cruise spent almost an hour in the Pacific Ocean before being rescued.</p> <p>New Zealand singer Will Martin, who is currently working as a headline entertainer aboard the Sun Princess, said the passenger fell off the cruise ship between Brisbane and New Caledonia on Friday.</p> <p>Shortly after 4pm on Friday (4pm NZT) the "man overboard" announcement came over the bridge.</p> <p>The ship was immediately turned around in the hopes of locating the woman.</p> <p>Two life rings were deployed to mark the approximate location of where the passenger went into the water, Martin said.</p> <p>It took about 15 minutes for the ship to completely turn around and make it back to the same area.</p> <p>"By the time the ship made it back to the vicinity, all onlookers could see that both life rings were in fact empty -  she hadn't made it to either one -  no one could see her," Martin said.</p> <p>A zodiac-type life boat was then deployed from the ship to conduct a search.</p> <p>"Passengers and crew alike were dotted around the ship at all vantage points, in the hopes of assisting to locate the lost woman.</p> <p>"It felt like a long time scanning the ocean, trying to differentiate between the thousands of random white caps, and perhaps an actual person."</p> <p>Shortly after 4.30pm (7.30pm NZT) the woman was located by the zodiac vessel, hauled aboard and returned to Sun Princess.</p> <p>Martin captured the moment the woman was brought aboard the lifeboat, which he shared on Facebook.</p> <p>In total, the woman was in the water for about 45 minutes.</p> <p>Martin said he didn't know who the woman was or how her recovery was going, "other than to say that she's alive, and was extremely lucky to have been found".</p> <p>"The Sun Princess crew all did a phenomenal job," he said.</p> <p>It was not clear how the woman came to be in the water.</p> <p>The ship was expected to arrive in Noumea, New Caledonia on Sunday.</p> <p>In 2014, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/63505067/passenger-seen-falling-25m-from-cruise-ship" target="_blank">an 85-year-old man's 25-metre plunge from the Sun Princess</a></strong></span> was caught on CCTV. </p> <p>Sun Princess first set sail in 1995 and can accommodate 2000 guests, with almost 1000 crew.</p> <p>Princess Cruises has not responded to requests for comment.</p> <p><em>Written by Laura Walters.

Couple who fell in love at the age of nine still together 85 years later

<p>Thomas and Irene Howard met when they were just nine years old, and 85 years on, they’re just as besotted with one another as ever. Last year, the couple recounted their epic love story to the <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/boy-sent-sweetheart-birthday-card-5846067" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mirror</span></strong></a> as they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.</p> <p>The sweet couple met in 1931, when Thomas, whose grandmother lived four doors down from Irene and her family, became friends with her brother Frank. “I would go regularly go ‘round to Irene’s house to call for Frank so we could out to play but Irene’s mother got fed up of me turning up day after day,” the now-94-year-old said. “In the end she joked ‘it’s not our Frank you want, it’s Irene,’ and she was right.</p> <p>“I was only about nine then and when I first saw Irene I thought, ‘what a lovely girl, she’s going to be my girl, this one,’ and my fondness for her grew since then.</p> <p>“We would go out walking together in the local parks and became inseparable best friends. Later we would go to the cinema and see films starring Clark Gable and would sit in the back row holding hands.”</p> <p>The two were inseparable, until World War II broke out and Thomas was called to duty at the age of 19. He proposed to Irene, now 92, as soon as he came home, and the pair wed on 2nd June, 1945.</p> <p>So, 85 years on and more in love than ever before, what’s their secret to a happy marriage? “Throughout our lives together we have only shown each other respect and good manners and I think of lot of youngsters could learn a lot from that,” Thomas said. “We're still in love all these years on. I still have her now and I'm proud of her. “If I was fortunate enough to do it all again, I'd marry the same girl every time.”</p> <p>How sweet is that? Have you experienced a love like this before?

85-year-old overcomes fear of flying to travel to Venice

<p>For most of us, flying isn’t much of a concern. While it might be long and uncomfortable, many travellers simply see a plane journey as the easiest way to get from A to B – not to mention a good way to catch up on some new-release movies! For those with a genuine phobia of flying, however, the simple thought of hopping on board a 747 is downright terrifying.</p> <p>Olive, an 85-year-old from Birmingham in the UK, finally got the push she needed to overcome her fear and take on a new adventure when husband of nearly 60 years, Ron, passed away in 2008. Since then, she has been working up the courage to step out onto the tarmac, overcoming her fear with a weekend getaway to Venice.</p> <p>To help ease Olive’s mind, great-nephew (and Monarch cabin crew member) James Gibson, organised for his great-aunt to meet the crew, pilot, and even go behind the scenes in the cockpit.</p> <p>“When we boarded the aircraft the crew were lovely and helped settle me in for the flight,” she told <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2016/05/27/85-year-old-olive-finally-overcomes-her-fear-of-flying-to-go-on-an-adventure-around-europe-5909066/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Metro</span></strong></a>. “I couldn’t believe I was actually going to be flying up in the air. I was quite scared when it came to take-off, but I was determined to go through with it and I did.”</p> <p>“The pilot was lovely and rather good looking too,” Olive cheekily added. “Meeting him helped ease my nerves, I knew I was in safe hands.”</p> <p>She is already planning her next trip – a visit to the Rock of Gibraltar. Good luck, Olive!</p> <p>Take a look at some of Olive’s sweet holiday snaps in the gallery above and tell us in the comments, how did you overcome your fear?</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/travel/international/2016/06/17-year-olds-invention-will-stop-spread-of-germs-on-planes/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>17-year-old’s invention will stop spread of germs on planes</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/travel/international/2016/06/what-happens-to-your-luggage-after-you-check-it-in/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>What happens to bags after you’ve checked them in?</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/travel/international/2016/06/the-one-thing-you-must-do-before-leaving-the-airport/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The one thing you must do before leaving the airport</span></em></strong></a></p>

85-year-old Navy veteran learns to tap-dance

<p>Arne Malaya, a US Navy veteran, is proving that it’s never too late to learn a new skill – in this case, tap dancing! According to Robin Lind, owner of a Minnesota dance studio, Arne was brought in by his wife of 54 years, Carol, who explained that learning to tap dance was on his bucket list.</p> <p>“He’s always enjoyed the movies with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers,” Carol Mayala told <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/04/04/85-year-old-navy-vet-takes-up-tap-dancing/82640438/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">USA Today</span></strong></a>. Arne finally decided to give it a shot himself after he spotted the dance studio below the accounting firm where he had a tax appointment.</p> <p>Lind says she shared photos of Arne on Facebook and received overwhelming feedback. Though Arne’s first lesson was hindered by a fall he had suffered earlier in the day, Lind explains that it didn’t stop him from enjoying himself. “It just really touched my heart in seeing him go from having a bad day and what dance can do,” she said.</p> <p>After seeing Arne’s joy when he dances, Lind decided to start a dance class at the local aged care facility where her mother lives. “We all just want to feel special and important in some way.”</p> <p>As for Arne’s wife, she waits anxiously after each lesson in the lobby of the studio. “I’m very nervous for him. I can’t stand to watch it.”</p> <p>After watching the video, I think you’ll agree with me – Arne’s got some moves!</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2016/04/oldest-skier-in-britain-retires-from-sport/"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">102-year-old skier retires from the slopes</span></strong></em></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2016/03/grandmother-lifts-100kg/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">78-year-old grandmother lifts weights like a pro athlete</span></em></strong></a></p> <p><a href="/lifestyle/retirement-life/2016/03/man-celebrates-92nd-birthday-by-jumping-out-of-plane/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Grandpa celebrates 92nd birthday by jumping out of a plane</span></em></strong></a></p>

Neighbours rally to decorate 85-year-old widow’s home after it was robbed

<p>A California neighbourhood is rallying around a women whose home was robbed of its decorations by what we can only assume is a local Grinch.</p> <p>After 85-year-old Natalie Conkel’s light machine was stolen from her home, her community decorated her entire house with new lights and Christmas decorations.

I am really, really shocked and very grateful and very thankful to have such wonderful neighbors," she told KTVU. “Now I can celebrate Christmas. Now it will be much better.”</p> <p>Conkel’s husband passed away five years ago and ever since, Conkel has found in difficult to celebrate Christmas. This year, however, she was ready to start celebrating again and had purchased an outdoor light machine to project red and green lights onto the house. It was stolen just days after she set it up.</p> <p>Conkel confided in her neighbour, Leslie Lewis, who gathered the town’s community to redecorate Conkel’s house.</p> <p>"From there it just kind of snowballed and we had tons of people dropping off decorations at my home every day leading up to the day we decorated her house," Lewis told the news outlet.</p> <p>The neighbourhood-wide mission to decorate Conkel’s house was top secret, with Conkel’s son, David, taking his mother out to dinner while dozens of people adorned the home with Christmas cheer.</p> <p>When the pair returned, Conkel was greeted with Christmas carols sung by an elementary school choir and hot chocolate and goodies from local businesses.</p> <p>"It's so nice to see people that I don't even know coming together for me, a stranger," Conkel told Today.com.
