BOOK REVIEW Author - Nora Roberts
Title - The villa
Sophia is the pride of the Giambelli family and excels as PR executive at the Gambelli winery. But things are about to change at Villa
Giambelli. Tereza the matriarch, has announced a merger with the
MacMillan family’s winery. As a savvy businesswoman, Sophia knows she must be ready for anything….. but she isn’t prepared for Tyler
McMillan. They’ve been ordered to work together very closely, to
facilitate the merger.
As they toil together, both in and out of the fields, Sophia is torn
between a powerful attraction and a professional rivalry. At the end of
the season, the course of the company’s future – and the legacy of the villa- may take an entirely new direction. And when acts of sabotage
threaten both the family business and the family itself, Sophia’s quest
will be not only for dominance, but for survival.

DO YOU LIKE TO READ A GOOD MURDER MYSTERY? Not even Law and Order would attempt to capture this mess. This is an unbelievable twist of fate! At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science (AAFS), President, Dr. Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death.
Here is the story:
On March 23, 1994, the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus, and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide. He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly.
Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers, and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
The room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun! The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject 'A' but kills subject 'B' in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject 'B.'
When confronted with the murder charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant, and both said that they thought the shotgun was not loaded. The old man said it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, assuming the gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. (continued pg 15)

Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now comes the exquisite twist…….
Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son, Ronald Opus, had actually murdered himself. So the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide. A true story from Associated Press.

In November 1966 I had been working for the New South Wales Government Railway for two years and my annual leave was due. Being a railway employee I was entitled to a free Interstate Rail Pass to anywhere in Australia travelling Second Class. You only received First Class travel if you were on the salary staff and I was a Station Assistant. I decided to travel to Alice Springs because going to Perth in those days just wasn’t done. I would catch the Ghan from Marree in the Northern Territory after travelling via Broken Hill. If memory serves me correctly I travelled on the non-air-conditioned overnight Parkes Mail from Sydney to Parkes and then joined the air-conditioned Silver City Comet to Broken Hill arriving in the late afternoon. I must mention in 1966 travel on this train was quite luxurious with a restaurant car and the air-conditioning because out west during November the daytime temperatures can be quite warm. Also any track work left a bit to the imagination as the ride was a little rough and on one section when the Comet was barrelling along I thought we were going to derail as it happened in a flash and then is was past. There was what we railwaymen call a hole in the road where there can be less ballast under a section of track and the rail drops a little as a train passes over it and this happens quickly if the train is travelling at speed. We continued on safely. Then it was across to Sulphide Street in Broken
Hill to join the Silverton Tramway to Port Pirie. What I found interesting with the Silverton Tramway was that there were no station platforms. The old passenger carriages had platforms at each end of the car (see photo left) and you gained access by a short flight of steps from ground level up to the carriage platform. The carriage had an aisle down the side of the car and long padded bench seats on one side, but in an open plan and no individual cabins.
LOOKING BACK - Time travelling with our regular travel writer Gary who has kindly
shared the following article about his trip on the Ghan back in 1966.

It was dark by the time we departed Sulphide Street and as there were not many travellers I had an entire seat to myself. The seats were a blue colour which would change. I stretched out on the seat and left the windows sky high because it was quite warm in the carriage. In the morning when I awoke I noticed that the blue seat had turned red with dust, we must have passed through a dust storm during the night and the only part of the seat which was still blue was the outline of where I had been sleeping. In Port Pirie I joined a South Australian train to continue my journey northward. In NSW the carriages interior had rounded corners where the walls met the ceiling and gave a closed in feeling, whereas the South Australian carriage and being a five foot gauge helped, had a lot more room in the car with squarer joins between the walls and ceiling. Only being eighteen years old at the time the carriage seemed very luxurious. I travelled on this train to Marree where the Ghan departed from in those days. Marree was an island platform and the southern train came in on one side which was five foot gauge and the Ghan departed from the opposite side on the three foot six inch gauge. The Second Class sleeping berths were four to a cabin, so there wasn’t much room between the berths. All meals were included and were served in the restaurant car. There was also a lounge car where passengers could relax, have a drink and mingle with fellow travellers. I must mention that a group of us were having a drink and a yarn and in the conversation I mentioned chucking a “u-ie” and an American in the group said, “What’s Chuckauie?” That was the first time I realised that not everyone can understand Australian slang so I explained to the American bloke what it meant. (For our International readers, “Chuck a u-ie” in Australian Slang means to perform a U-turn on the road.) Our next main stop after departing Marree was Oodnadatta where the train Conductor told us as we would be there for a while if we wanted we could walk about 300 metres to the old Road House for a cold drink or to buy a souvenir. He also told us the driver would blow the whistle five minutes before the train departed which would give us plenty of time to walk back to the train.

Left behind in Oodnadatta…….Almost

So about thirty plus passengers were enjoying checking out Oodnadatta and then the whistle blew signalling it was time to head back to the train. Then there was panic, because as the driver blew the whistle the train began to pull out of Oodnadatta and here’s thirty plus passengers running after the train and the Conductor was standing in an open carriage doorway waving goodbye. Luckily the guard saw the stampeding mob running for the train and pulled the tail applying the brakes and stopping the train. Thankfully we all climbed aboard safely and on the lookout for that Conductor and when we found him he said normally the driver waits after blowing the whistle, but this time he didn’t. The Conductor said we were lucky that they stopped because they usually do not stop. The Conductor also mentioned that the leaving of passengers behind in Oodnadatta was a regular rort orchestrated by some of the train crew and some locals in Oodnadatta who would drive the passengers who missed the train to the next station for a fee. He also said they probably stopped the train because there was a large mob of passengers. He said if it had of only been one or two passengers they wouldn’t have stopped. Our next stop was Finke, and the Conductor told us we could go for a walk and he’d ring a bell before the train departed. Yes right. Most passengers got off to stretch their legs, but everyone stayed within a couple of steps from the carriage doorway, and when the bell was rung there was a dash for the door.
I arrived in Alice Springs the next day and stayed in a local motel. I had a few walks around town and included a walk up Anzac Hill where I could see Billy Goat Hill which then overlooked the local gaol and friends of prisoners would climb Billy Goat Hill and throw objects over the fence to their mates in the gaol. I also walked out to Heavitree Gap south of the town and had a look through the open air art type museum called Prichi Richi Sanctuary which had numerous clay sun-baked carvings on display.

I joined a one day tour by taxi, not too many coach tours in those days to have a look over Simpson’s Gap, the Twin Sentinels, two majestic ghost gums 16 kilometres from Alice Springs and a walk through Stanley Chasm. A little history about the Twin Sentinels. In 1966 when I was there they were two beautiful trees growing together, which was unusual because ghost gums generally grow singularly. These ghost gums were made famous when aboriginal artist Albert Namatjira painted them circa 1950’s and called them the Twin Ghost Gums. Then in January 2013, tragedy, as a suspected arsonist burnt them to the ground in the early hours of the morning.
The day following the tour I re-joined the Ghan for my return trip south to Marree and Adelaide. From Adelaide I have no recollection of the return journey, maybe because it was uneventful. So I cannot recall if I travelled on the Overland train between Adelaide & Melbourne. I do recall another bloke and me befriending an Irish businessman on holiday in Australia and he shouted us both lunch in Melbourne at an expensive restaurant for an eighteen year old called the London Grill Room, where an American Style Carpet Bag Steak cost $1.55, before seeing an afternoon screening of the Sound of Music at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre before joining the Spirit of Progress that evening for my overnight journey back to Sydney.
