Cape Town But first motorists will have to handle 33 months of disruption The City of Cape Town's modern MyCiti bus service is finally coming to the business and retail hub of Claremont bringing with it more efficient public transport for thousands of daily commuters And with a dedicated bus lane keeping buses out of the area's infamous traffic jams Just one thing: traffic in the area is going to get gnarly from March 2025 for the next… wait for it… 33 months That's because the City of Cape Town is kicking off the next phase of construction for the MyCiti service that will eventually connect Claremont to residential areas as far afield as Mitchell's Plain and Khayelitsha While this next phase of work will see construction underway along a 2.7-kilometer stretch of Imam Haron Road from the M5 to Claremont the snarl-ups are likely to be worst in and around Stanhope Bridge It's a congested corner of Claremont at the best of times and the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility Councilor Rob Quintas is warning residents to prepare for major delays: 'This is by far one of the most challenging sections of roadway to be affected as part of the roll-out of the second phase of the MyCiTi bus service to connect commuters from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha with Claremont and Wynberg The City's investment in expanding the MyCiTi footprint to these areas is the biggest by any South African city to date in improving urban mobility and unfortunately it will cause inconveniences and longer commuting times while construction is ongoing.' While teams are already getting ready to break ground construction is only due to kick off in early March with work beginning at Stanhope Bridge and moving towards the M5 And while the work will no doubt be a rush-hour headache for residents and commuters there are plenty of benefits expected down the line Beyond improved public transport options with the new MyCiti route the construction will include widening the Stanhope railway bridge which will hopefully ease peak hour congestion as well as the addition of new walking and cycling lanes and the installation of new street lighting Cash is no longer king at these Cape Town nature reserves.

With a by-election looming, the crisis has become a key political battleground. Meanwhile, residents say they have lost all hope in politicians who repeatedly fail to deliver.  As the rest of the country celebrated Human Rights Day, Claremont residents are left questioning whether, their basic rights to water, electricity, and dignity truly matter to those in power. The City’s Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing planned work in the identified areas, which will result in water supply disruptions. This critical maintenance work is done on our water supply infrastructure to benefit customers. Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to take note of the work that will take place and prepare accordingly. Residents are advised to store enough water in advance, as a precautionary measure. Water should be stored in clean, sealed containers. The water supply to these areas will be shut off from 9 am until 5 pm on Monday, 2 December 2024, to enable our maintenance team to do repairs to the vandalised 800mm diameter water main adjacent to the Stellenbosch Arterial Road in Wesbank. Some residents will experience low water pressure and others no water during this period. Water tankers will roam through these areas to provide water for domestic use where required.  The water supply to Mountain Road and surrounding roads including Eden Street, Talana Street, Doris Road, Zion Street, Ethel Street, Alma Street, Sylvia Street, Middle Close as well as Newlands Road between Bowwood Road and Bishopscourt Road will be shut off from 08:00 until 18:00 on the following dates: The water supply to these areas will be shut off from 09:00 until 16:00 on Tuesday, 3 December 2024, to enable the maintenance team to make a connection to the 400mm diameter water main. The entire area will, unfortunately, be affected as the impacted area cannot be reduced. Water tankers will roam through these areas to provide water for domestic use where required.  The Voëlvlei Water Treatment Plant will be shut off from 08:00 on Wednesday, 4 December 2024, until 08:00 on Friday, 6 December 2024. This will allow the maintenance team to do repairs to the gate valve from the Voëlvlei Dam and to seal a leak at the Plant.  The reservoirs to the Voëlvlei supply areas will be filled in advance. The Drakenstein municipality has been informed to make alternate arrangements.  The water supply to Joe Slovo Park, Phoenix and part of Montague Gardens bounded by, and including Freedom Way, Montagu Drive, Racecourse Road and Omuramba Drive, will be shut off from 09:00 until 20:00 on Thursday, 5 December 2024. The maintenance team need to install a 200mm diameter pressure-reducing valve (PRV) on the water main to these areas. The water supply to the area along Govan Mbeki Drive between Wetton Circle and Hanover Park Avenue, including the Lansdowne Corner Shopping Mall, the Astron Service Station, as well as the Epilepsy SA in the vicinity of Fynn Close will be shut off from 08:00 until 18:00 on Thursday, 5 December 2024. This will allow for the connection of the relocated water main to accommodate the current IRT road construction. The water supply from the Wingerd Reservoir to this area will be shut off from 09:00 until 17:00 on Thursday, 5 December 2024. This will allow the maintenance team to install a control valve on the water supply main.  Zero-pressure testing and step-testing are part of the installation process for zone management infrastructure. Tests are done in advance to see if any unmapped inflows need to be considered before installing new infrastructure (such as pressure-reducing valves for pressure management). In these affected areas, some residents may experience low water pressure, and some may have no water coming out of their taps for some time during the testing period. Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict which exact areas or streets will experience disruptions. Additional zone management investigations will be carried out to ensure that existing infrastructure is operating effectively. Pressure fluctuations may be experienced, but every effort will be made to minimise the impact as far as possible. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Strategy. Managing water pressure more effectively reduces the possibility of pipe bursts and water wastage. The City sincerely regrets any inconvenience.

Sections Southern suburbs residents can brace themselves for extensive construction work on Imam Haron Chichester and Standhope roads over the next three years The City says it expects to start work for the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service to Claremont in the first week of March Work will take place on weekdays from 9am to 3pm and is due for completion by December 2027 The new MyCiTi service will connect commuters from Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha with Wynberg and Claremont along dedicated bus lanes The Claremont construction is part of the City’s R6.3 billion flagship MyCiTi bus route development starting at Stanhope Road near the Claremont public transport facility all the way to the M5 The scope of work for the second phase of the MyCiTi roll-out includes: “This will be a game changer for the area which already has a train line and will now have a dedicated bus line which will improve public transport users' experience,” said Ward 59 councillor Mikhail Manuel Claremont CBD was a major economic node for the city and the country Claremont Improvement District Company (CIDC) executive manager Abdul Kerbelker said the development would make Claremont more accessible to a wider catchment area the MyCiTi bus services will relieve the City’s transport system which is heavily reliant on private motor vehicles making it the most congested City in South Africa and among the top-50 globally.” commuters would have a choice of five different modes of public transport in the Claremont CBD: MyCiTi Upper Kenilworth Improvement District (UKID) member Debbie Wall-Smith said it would be a trying time for motorists but the UKID hoped the City would manage to also take over the railway network as the combined transport network would have a positive impact on the area which will place undue pressure on the ancient infrastructure and narrow roads of Harfield If the traffic department does not increase its presence in the area we will see many accidents and probably loss of lives We hope the City will recognise this and provide additional law enforcement during the three years,” she said Mr Manual said disruptions could be expected along Imam Haron Road but not the Claremont CBD itself Mayoral committee member for urban mobility Rob Quintas said: “The City’s investment in expanding the MyCiTi footprint to these areas is the biggest by any South African city to date in improving urban mobility and the contractor will ensure that traffic is accommodated in both directions at all times.” A public information session for residents was due to be held on Tuesday at the Claremont civic centre Mr Quintas said pedestrians would be accommodated with safe passage including temporary crossings; there would be direct access to business premises and residential properties at all times; one lane in each direction would be open to traffic at all times; and temporary signage and flag personnel would be deployed to help keep traffic flowing and ensure the safety of all road users Residents in the busy Claremont and Kenilworth nodes can expect nearly three years of additional traffic pressure as construction work related to the MyCiTi bus roll-out in these areas will commence in earnest in March 2025 The contractor is expected to set up their site camp and storage facilities on the corner of Imam Haron (M24) and Chichester Road this week The first work will begin in March in the vicinity of Stanhope Road and the Stanhope railway bridge which connects Main Road (M4) with Palmyra Road starting at Stanhope Road near the Claremont public transport facility and continuing to the M5 highway This section covers a distance of about 2,7km and according to the City of Cape Town the duration of the work is scheduled to take 33 months the project should be completed by December 2027 The Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility Rob Quintas says this is by far one of the most challenging sections of roadway to be affected as part of the roll-out of the second phase of the MyCiTi bus service It will eventually connect commuters from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha with Claremont and Wynberg Quintas says the City is committed to limiting the impact on road users as far as possible He says work on the roads itself will only happen outside peak periods The City of Cape Town is set to begin construction for the expansion of the MyCiTi bus service to Claremont in March 2025 To keep residents informed about the upcoming roadworks the City will be hosting a public information day on Tuesday The construction will primarily impact Stanhope Road Commuters and residents are urged to attend the session to learn about the sequencing of the project and its anticipated impact on traffic flow A high-resolution map detailing the construction zones is available here. Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility emphasized the importance of attending the public information session “I urge residents of Claremont and surrounding areas to participate in this important engagement It provides a key opportunity to understand the roadwork schedule City officials will be on hand with maps and answers to any questions Please take the time to attend,” said Quintas Councillor Quintas acknowledged the challenges posed by the construction but reaffirmed the City’s commitment to minimizing disruptions “This will be one of the most complex sections of road to be affected as we build infrastructure for MyCiTi’s expansion to Claremont and Wynberg some level of inconvenience is unavoidable We will mitigate the impact by limiting work during peak hours and ensuring that traffic flows in both directions at all times Attending the information day will help residents prepare and consider alternative routes.” Residents are encouraged to stay informed and plan ahead to minimize disruptions during the construction period The City of Cape Town's Water and Sanitation Directorate will do planned work in the identified areas, resulting in water supply disruptions.  This critical maintenance work is done on our water supply infrastructure to benefit customers.  Residents in the affected areas are encouraged to take note of the work that will take place and prepare accordingly.  Maintenance work, including pipe and valve installations, repairs and replacements. Residents are advised to store enough water in advance, as a precautionary measure. Water should ideally be stored in clean, sealed containers.  The Water and Sanitation Directorate has shut down the Glen Garry Reservoir from Monday, 30 September 2024, until Friday, 18 October 2024, for essential annual cleaning and maintenance.  This process is critical to ensuring the continued quality and safety of our water supply. During this period, an alternate water supply is being rerouted to the Glen Garry area, but at lower than usual pressure.  The reservoir levels for the Bloekombos and Wallacedene areas are currently under severe strain, and continued high water usage will lead to an unsustainable supply.  Residents and businesses are urgently requested to reduce their water consumption during this period to prevent the risk of the reservoirs running dry, especially during the current hot weather conditions. The Water and Sanitation Directorate will be doing a test shut-off on the 150mm diameter main water supply in Main Road, Claremont from 09:00 until 14:00 on Tuesday, 8 October 2024 to determine the extent of the impacted area when the actual shut-off happens from 09:00 until 18:00 on Thursday, 10 October 2024.  This will result in the disruption of water supply to the area between Vineyard Road, Main Road, San Souci Road and Fir Road next to the railway line as well as the immediate surroundings during this period.  Affected residents and businesses in this area are also advised to store water in clean sealed containers in advance. The water supply to Brinkhuis Road, Mission Road, Willow Road, Protea Road, Quince Avenue and immediate surrounds will be shut off from 09:00 until 17:00 on Tuesday, 8 October 2024. This will enable the contractor team to safely install control valves on the pipeline as part of the pipe replacement project in these areas. Affected consumers are kindly requested to store enough water in clean, sealed containers in advance. The water supply to Berg Road and Pass Road in Fish Hoek and Reids Way in Glencairn as well as the immediate surroundings will be shut off from 09:00 until 17:00 on Thursday, 10 October 2024. This will enable the maintenance team to safely replace fire hydrants on the water supply pipelines in these areas. The water supply from the Bierman Reservoir to this area will be shut off from 09:00 until 18:00 on Wednesday, 9 October 2024.  This will enable the maintenance team to safely replace a defective valve on the main water supply from the Bierman Reservoir into the local water supply network as well as fire hydrants in the area.  The water supply to the Strand area will be shut off from 08:00 until 17:00 on Thursday, 10 October 2024.  This will enable the maintenance team to do a water supply infrastructure upgrade and safely install seven critical control valves on the water supply network in this area. The impacted area could unfortunately not be reduced due to a defective control valve. The water supply to these areas will be shut off from 10:00 until 16:00 on Thursday, 10 October 2024.  This will enable the maintenance team to safely install a water meter and a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) on the main water supply pipeline to these areas.  Affected consumers are kindly requested to store enough water in clean sealed containers in advance. This work forms part of the Water and Sanitation Directorate’s proactive infrastructure maintenance and upgrade programme, which ensures the future continuity of water supply by addressing the issue of unaccounted-for water.  For updates on the maintenance work (and location of tankers where applicable), follow @CityofCTAlerts which is a City of Cape Town X account (formerly Twitter).

The recently announced tie-in MCU comic book also confirmed the FF have been around for four years: they’re already back — or will be already back in July and it’ll establish apparently that the FF will have been back for three years when they run into Galactus In the comic it’s like Godzilla’s taller — is taller — so why not now You know what it’s like to deal with Marvel continuity Chris Claremont added he’s fascinated in regards to what the MCU is doing with all the characters: And I — but I’m fascinated looking at this and they have somewhere between 20 and 40 mainstream characters maybe with a couple of B’s thrown in for giggles the number of cool chairs with labels on them that they will have to have for the actors to sit on while they’re waiting to be called for their scene — it would like stretch from here to The Russos are directing and filming is currently underway in the UK RELATED:‘Godzilla x Kong’ Sequel Brings In Jurassic Park's Sam Neill Source: YouTube Comic book writer Chris Claremont is a bona fide legend and, if you've ever read a truly great X-Men comic, chances are he wrote it. Claremont has consulted on various Marvel movies, but can we count Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars among them?  The writer appeared at the Huntsville Pop Culture Expo over the weekend and started talking about the latter movie. Claremont was rambling a little, but appeared to drop several big details about Secret Wars in the process. For starters, he said Robert Downey Jr. will play multiple characters in the movie, including Iron Man. He also revealed that Chris Evans will be back as Captain America, a young Steve Rogers, and HYDRA Cap, later adding that Elizabeth Olsen will return as a "good' Scarlet Witch.  He also claimed that Psylocke is returning and suggested Wolverine will "kill somebody important."  Claremont might have gotten rumours mixed up with fact, and there's every chance he's misinformed. Alternatively, he's been given insights into what's to come in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, and has shared details he didn't anticipate going any further than the room he was in. While Olsen's return and HYDRA Cap have both been rumoured at one time or another, Downey playing more than just Doom and plans for Wolverine and Psylocke are new to us. We're not exactly shocked to learn that Downey might suit up as Iron Man again, especially with the Multiverse in the mix. Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum was recently asked about rumblings that the MCU will be rebooted after Secret Wars and explained, "You can't really fully reboot anything. It's a very difficult thing to do to a living, breathing fictional universe, to just start from scratch, because of all the fan investment and love for the stories that have come so far." Here's the confirmed Avengers: Doomsday cast list as things currently stand: Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027.

roadblocks made out of cars and shopping trolleys filled with concrete Some activists built underground bunkers in which to seal themselves – “very elaborate womb-like structures that involved lots of layers of mattresses The idea was that whatever tool the police or bailiffs tried to use to get them out “would get gummed up” The upper floors of several houses beneath the tower were knocked together to create a “rat run” to make it harder for the police to reach the protesters Volunteers had been monitoring police compounds for signs of activity Claremont is going to be taken,’” recalls Berens a journalist who reported on the events for the Guardian “I think the whole of alternative London turned up There was a massive party the night before.” The next morning, 28 November, an estimated 500 protesters were ready, remembers Neil Goodwin, who edited his colleague’s Mayyasa Al-Malazi’s footage of the siege: “The rooftops were packed; every bunker “The police turned up in the early afternoon,” recalls Mark Green (not his real name) “There were hundreds of them and they swarmed into the street in stormtrooper gear with batons raised Instead they just found a bunch of hippies and local residents sitting around.” A sound system on the tower cranked up the Prodigy album Music for the Jilted Generation A 30ft tower was also built with a sound system from which music blared out Photograph: Julia GuestThings didn’t go as planned for the police “They thought they were going to start by tackling the houses and then they realised people had locked on to the road itself,” says Julia Guest Activists had drilled holes into the asphalt which were covered over with sheets of metal with holes in them The activists “lay down with their arms through the holes and locked their wrists on with handcuffs.” The police and bailiffs brought in mechanical diggers hammers and crowbars; and every occupant made themselves as difficult as possible to remove which I’d covered in corrugated iron and filled with tyres,” says Goodwin When the bailiffs eventually broke through that evening Goodwin attached himself to part of the scaffolding tower with a bicycle D-lock the keys of which he had chucked into a pile of tyres and I’m like: ‘I’m gonna be sitting here all night.’ So I said to people: ‘Could you see if you can find some D-lock keys?’” Luckily they were just teetering over the edge of a gap in the floorboards someone led me down through a loft to warm up a bit,” says Green “We then went through a hole in a wall and exited through a wardrobe into a room where people were watching themselves on the news on an old black-and-white portable TV.” about half the protesters had been evicted says Geffen: “The police were puzzled that people who they thought they’d evicted kept reappearing they got a metal detector out.” They discovered the activists had built a tunnel out of oil drums running underneath the back gardens and into one of the houses on the next road Supplies and people had been going back and forth the whole time everyone on the tower and all the roofs just laughed at them.” “the more brutal the police and bailiffs became” grabbed and falling from heights (though no one was seriously injured) “It definitely felt like there was a political element to it.” The protesters “had a very strong commitment to non-violence” “We needed to be acting in accordance with the values that we wanted to speak for If we’re talking about environmental sustainability and sharing this Earth “If you live on a scaffolding tower for a few days And they didn’t really want to chase me around in a game of cat and mouse.” Doug’s persistence extended the protest by another full day The police even brought in a “hostage negotiator” to try to coax him down and was just concerned for my welfare.” Doug was not swayed and I used them to make myself what was basically a coffin which I slept in.” The police finally got to him the next morning A sign referring to Dolly Watson a 92-year-old former actor who had lived on Claremont Road all her life the police spent more than £1m evicting the protesters Nobody believed the campaign would stop it “was it turned the roads programme into a political thing When Labour came into power in 1997, it cut the major road schemes inherited from the Tories from 150 to 37, and pledged to focus on public transport. It felt like a victory for the anti-car campaigners, but it did not last. By 2000, New Labour was committing at least £30bn to building and improving roads and forecasting that another 2,500 miles of road would need to be built The protest changed the lives of many of those who took part “That was the day that I crossed the line,” says Berens I was a journalist looking in and reporting on it but because it was such an impressive campaign “It impacted me quite profoundly,” says Guest She became a documentary film-maker focusing on human rights in Israel one of the key organisers alongside Geffen Drury is a professor of social psychology at Sussex university Doug is a lawyer dealing with civic issues Green went on to design the famous Extinction Symbol He is less nostalgic about the event: “I found the overall experience cold He doesn’t like to describe it as a “battle” whereas it was just a group of people passively occupying an area with the only violence coming from the police.” the area and the protest attracted many people with drug and mental health problems not to mention locals who were either uprooted or forced to live on the edge of a six-lane road “I naively hoped it would be a spark for a wider and longer-lasting societal change,” says Green things have just got much worse since then than we could ever have imagined.” Geffen received an MBE for services to cycling in 2015, and now heads Low Traffic Future “What I’m now doing is still basically the same cause,” he says cars were the central issue for the environmental movement Environmental campaigners have gone on to do some great things on energy … but transport is now the biggest-emitting sector of the UK economy as well as being problematic in terms of air pollution children’s ability to play in the streets and all the waste products of car culture.” He thinks the movement needs to focus again on transport Another action like Claremont Road is unthinkable now given how far legislation has tightened against protest “because actions like that created a generation of people that have become acutely aware the only way that anything that’s unjust gets changed And if people are prevented from being able to freely connect with that sort of experience then what sort of world is going to come next?” This article was amended on 26 November 2024 Paul Morozzo is a campaigner at Greenpeace and not campaign director it was not Neil Goodwin who recorded footage of the siege Cape Town’s retail landscape is about to welcome a significant addition as Hirsch’s is set to open their third Hirsch’s Homestore in the bustling suburbs of Claremont in the Western Cape  Situated on a sprawling 8908 square meter plot that encompasses two consolidated erfs the development promises to be a beacon of commerce and convenience Commenting on the opening of the new store Founder of Hirsch’s said “When we opened our Milnerton store 12 years ago it immediately took off and it exceeded our expectations – as did the Somerset West store that we opened a few years later Wanting to cater for clients in the Southern Suburbs we were determined to find suitable land so that we could build a full sized Hirsch’s Homestore with the same offerings as our stores throughout the country We were particularly lucky to find land in Claremont to build our store It’s in a really busy shopping area and we are fortunate to have sufficient parking for our customers This is a state of the art store with the latest technology beds and furniture and we truly look forward to serving the Southern Suburbs community.” The store will be managed by Dhivian Moodley (previously Assistant Branch Manager at the Hirsch’s Milnerton Branch) and Shirley Peterson www.hirschs.co.za The crash happened just after 2 a.m. Monday at Mills Avenue and 6th Street, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Details about what led up to the crash were limited, but the car erupted in flames after the collision. The driver of the car was declared dead first, and the passenger was found once the flames were extinguished, authorities said. Neither of them have been identified.

CAPE TOWN - Claremont Main Road Mosque on Friday honoured the legacy of Imam Abdullah Haron on the 55th anniversary of his tragic death.  Last year, the high court ruled that Haron died in 1969 while in detention after most likely being tortured by the apartheid police. Imam Rashied Omar delivered a sermon at the Claremont mosque on Friday related to the judgment and prosecution delays in other Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)-related cases. "The judgment finally corrected the historical record after 54 long years and future generations will learn that Imam Abdullah Haron died in an apartheid prison after being tortured to death." Omar urged those who had gathered to assist in ensuring other TRC-related cases go to trial, saying that Islam placed a profound emphasis on justice. "To prevent further injustices, we must advocate for the establishment and the strengthening of mechanisms that ensure accountability, and that includes supporting legal and government reforms that promote transparency and fairness in dealing with past harms." Omar called on South Africa's justice system to expedite the remaining cases related to crimes commited during apartheid.

And the father of my family friend had worked with a victim's father. She told of the unspeakable horror of the girl's parents when police broke the news that their beloved daughter's body had been discovered.  My friends and I had walked home from the Claremont pub (then called the Continental) more times than I can count. Sometimes we foolishly hitchhiked. We thought nothing of it. But never again. Women stopped going out alone. The fact that all three women had told friends they were getting a taxi home became a key focus for police.  Taxis quickly became objects of suspicion. The phrase 'Don't catch a taxi' was whispered across Perth's social circles and splashed across headlines.  But, in hindsight, it was a distraction. The man responsible, Bradley Edwards, was never a taxi driver. He was a Telstra technician, hiding in plain sight. Let's look at the multiple blunders of the WA Police 'Macro Taskforce' which meant a monster was left roaming the suburbs for two decades. And then we'll expose how the killer is 'coping' with his life behind bars. Footage showing Jane Rimmer (pictured) with a 'mystery man' was released 12 years after her disappearance An investigation in freefallBret Christian is the Managing Editor of the Post Newspapers and author of the bestselling book Stalking Claremont: Inside The Hunt for a Serial Killer by HarperCollins He has covered the case from the very beginning and was the first to publicly link the Claremont murders with a violent rape of a 17-year-old girl in 1995 at Karrakatta Cemetery – at a time when police had not told the public the two cases were connected His front-page investigation in 2015 forced a turning point in the stalled inquiry 'The biggest blunder of the Macro Taskforce was focusing on the wrong suspects early on,' Christian says 'There were over 100 detectives working the case The "A team" had tunnel vision on the people they'd already identified 'Another key mistake was dismissing the Karrakatta rape case because the DNA of the suspects the police were focusing on – who were all innocent – didn't match the DNA found on the Karrakatta victim 'So they excluded that case as being connected That rape was later seen as part of Edwards' "apprenticeship" 'Another major mistake was not DNA testing the sample taken from Ciara Glennon's thumbnail – for 11 years in a case that consumed the city and engaged more than a hundred detectives did it take 11 years to test DNA from beneath a murder victim's fingernail DNA found under Ciara Glennon's (pictured) thumbnail wasn't tested for 11 years they finally did what British police usually do after a month in a stalled major case: they brought in a fresh team from another police district to look at the evidence with fresh eyes That only happened after pressure from the ABC who put together a plan for reinvestigating the killings,' Christian says 'Once they realised the cold case team's map hadn't been followed properly things had been muddled – exhibit numbers changed swapped – so they re-examined every single item.' Part of that process included a large colour enlargement of Ciara's left thumb one of the detectives noted damage on the nail and said 'There's something here.' So they went looking for the original sample; the one that should have been taken at the morgue They found a jar in the back of the fridge This critical evidence had just been left there and forgotten And that's what eventually led to the match with Edwards' DNA but she took something from him that would eventually take his,' Christian says It was 2008 when it was confirmed that the DNA from Ciara's thumbnail matched the DNA from the Karrakatta victim But the police kept it secret – for seven years 'I found out about this in 2015 and published it on the front page of our paper The victims' families and the public turned to police and said the police immediately created two new squads to reinvestigate the case properly Forensic teams also discovered blue polyester fibres on the bodies of Jane and Ciara These matched the seat covers used in Telstra vans in the 1990s leading police to a list of technicians who drove those vehicles The remains of 18-year-old Sarah Spiers (pictured) Police focused intensely on taxi drivers early on requesting DNA from more than 5,000 and placing one innocent man under 24/7 surveillance for years This narrow approach ignored other potential suspects and set the investigation on the wrong path a 17-year-old was abducted and raped at Karrakatta Cemetery The case was dismissed as unrelated when suspects' DNA didn't match DNA found under Ciara Glennon's thumbnail from when she tried to fight off her killer wasn't tested for 11 years but the delay cost valuable time and may have allowed him to strike again Investigators had to go back and re-examine everything from scratch wasting years and undermining the integrity of the investigation A self-proclaimed FBI profiler encouraged the public to report vague behaviour leading to thousands of calls about neighbours and ex-partners The volume of irrelevant tips overwhelmed investigators When police linked the Claremont DNA to the Karrakatta rape in 2008 It took Bret Christian's front-page story in 2015 to pressure police into reopening the case properly Footage showing Jane Rimmer with a 'mystery man' was released 12 years after her disappearance – far too late to jog the public's memory or help identify him in time where Jane Rimmer (pictured) was seen talking to a man where Jane Rimmer was seen talking to a man 'All you could make out was that the man had broad shoulders and lightish hair they didn't even know about Edwards,' Christian says 'When the first edition of my book Stalking Claremont was released 'When I spoke to "mystery man" he said he had no idea police had been looking for him for 12 years He said that after the public release of the video he didn't come forward because he'd had a previous bad experience with WA Police when he was a witness in a serious case I know how they operate." I ran that past a detective who worked on the case During the years the Claremont killer remained at large potentially vital information from members of the public one young woman phoned to report that she had been at Rowe Park – the same location where the 17-year-old Karrakatta rape victim was abducted – when a man in a Telstra van pulled up and offered her a lift police never followed up with her at the time It wasn't until Edwards was arrested that she received a call from officers asking for details she had reported years earlier "It's only taken you 20 years to get around to taking statements from us,"' the boyfriend said Another piece of missed evidence was that the 17-year-old rape victim had been tied up around the legs and wrists with what at first appeared to be long Telstra cables A photo of the cables was introduced during Edwards' trial He pleaded guilty to the rape as well as an earlier home invasion and assault An image tendered as evidence at Bradley Edwards' trial of a work car he drove between 1994 and 1996  Journalist Ros Thomas was working as a reporter for the Seven Network's Today Tonight at the time of the killings when she was invited to spend a night with Taskforce Macro when I repeated what Thomas had said: 'That's something only a Perth cop would say.') 'It was a strange night following the taskforce around waiting outside the Claremont pub and making sure any women leaving would be safely getting in cars with friends But most people stayed well away from Claremont Of course nobody dared to catch a taxi,' Thomas says The first suspect in the killings was a taxi driver Ciara and Sarah had let friends know they were catching a taxi home 'Don't get a taxi!' was thrown at anybody going out for a drink in Claremont Police wasted countless hours on 24/7 surveillance of an innocent taxi driver who said it ruined his life. The police also ruined the life of a former Claremont mayor who became a suspect but was completely innocent. He tells his story here Ros Thomas says there were so many theories and stories swirling around as people were living in fear a 17-year-old was abducted and raped in Karrakatta Cemetery (pictured are scratch marks made by the victim as she was dragged along the ground) 'I heard stories that a man was driving around Claremont with an axe Stories that a 13-year-old girl who was murdered years ago was his first victim,' Thomas says 'The cops told me that most serial killers practise a lot before they get their "perfect murder" and there was a string of crimes that had similarities to the Claremont killings Then the killer got good at what he was doing and that the three Claremont murders were finally his "perfect murders" 'On a personal note: the photograph the police used of Jane Rimmer showed her in a dress that was identical to a dress I'd recently worn to a friend's wedding That always freaked me out – that Jane and I had the same dress One of the most disturbing details about Bradley Edwards didn't even make it into the courtroom Edwards reportedly returned to her grave and left a pair of her underwear there that even seasoned investigators were shaken 'That detail didn't come up at trial – only indirectly I picked up immediately on what they were talking about The prosecution shut down the questioning quickly but they'd said enough to confirm what I already knew,' Christian says Some serial killers do that – revisit the graves of their victims.' grotesque gesture that hinted at a darker obsession - a need to return to the scene of the crime Bradley Edwards is now serving a life sentence – but by all accounts he's having a lovely time,' Christian says 'He's very much enjoying himself and is quite content playing video games all day He's definitely not in danger of being bashed or anything He thinks of himself as a celebrity so he's quite happy.' The contrast between his comfortable existence and the suffering he inflicted is hard to stomach – for victims' families and for the city that lived under his shadow Christian says Edwards did show signs of strain before the trial began: 'He drove a pencil into his ear in a bid to kill himself living out his sentence in quiet satisfaction as Perth continues to carry the trauma he left behind and the Spiers family still hopes for closure The comments below have not been moderated By posting your comment you agree to our house rules Do you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual We will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline To do this we will link your MailOnline account with your Facebook account We’ll ask you to confirm this for your first post to Facebook You can choose on each post whether you would like it to be posted to Facebook.

Police Chief Brent Wilmot and Finance Director Nancy Bates were appointed as co-interim city managers "We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining focus on the needs of our residents and the progress of our community," the announcement states Manale was terminated due to concerns about honesty lack of follow-up communication with the council and lack of departmental control and accountability according to a resolution by the city council.  "Despite having deficiencies in this regard brought to his attention the City Manager has failed or refused to produce information as requested," the resolution states.  In his letter of resignation in Brattleboro Manale said that the prominence of the town manager position created drawbacks for him to fulfill the duties of the job most efficiently "I am not the right fit for this position," he wrote adding that the smallest community he worked in previously was almost five times the size of Brattleboro "The larger populations afforded me anonymity that I did not appreciate until now."  Manale faced criticism in Brattleboro after the Select Board asked him to end the town's 56-year relationship with Rescue Inc. and develop a plan for the town to take over EMS services. He also was praised for his fresh thinking.  A contract with Brattleboro said Manale would receive $60,000 in severance pay “in the event of a termination other than for just cause.” “Recognizing that the employment relationship was not working to each party’s expectations, Manale has tendered his letter of resignation and Brattleboro has accepted the letter of resignation,” states the severance agreement, which meant that he would get nearly all of his $120,000 annual salary before leaving less than six months into the job.  Manale will “not knowingly make any statements to any third parties which might reasonably be construed to disparage Brattleboro or harm its reputation,” the document states. And town staff and the Select Board won’t speak ill of Manale, according to the agreement.

WHEN A devastating fire destroyed a once grand and historic hotel (specifically The Claremont Hotel on Eastbourne’s seafront), writes Iain Cox, one could have expected an effort to rebuild and replace it pretty quickly. However, in this particular case it has become a symbol of disruption ever since. The fire on 22 November 2019 tore through the premises and caused severe damage to the Grade II-listed building, leaving much of the structure in ruins. Despite initial efforts to retain the Georgian front façade, the damage was too extensive and the building was demolished, leaving the site in a sad and prolonged period of disrepair. For years, the site opposite the pier has been an eyesore for the local community with peeling hoarding, scaffolding and overgrown weeds where the once grand building stood. The lengthy recovery period has been a stark reminder of how long it can take to nurse a site from such a devastating event. Many people in the local area had hoped for a swift rebuild, but as the site remained dormant, the reality of recovery became clear. In the background, the accounts of the group that owned the hotel indicate that they obtained a cash settlement with the insurers and that enabled them to purchase another hotel in Eastbourne, leaving them with considerable costs for demolition of the site. Originally part of the prestigious Grand Parade terrace built in the mid-19th Century, The Claremont Hotel had stood as a prominent feature of Eastbourne’s seafront for many years. The terrace was designed as part of the vision of William Cavendish, the second Earl of Burlington, who later became the 7th Duke of Devonshire. Despite the building’s rich history and heritage, the fire brought an abrupt end to its legacy. Now, around five-and-a-half years since the fire, there is finally hope for the site’s future. While no formal planning application has yet been submitted, a developer is planning to transform the location into 55 luxury flats. It’s not clear who owns the site now, but the plans aim to bring new life to the area, in turn adding to the regeneration of the Grand Parade and the surrounding seafront. Rebuilding after a fire is a lengthy process, often taking much longer than people anticipate. While the fire itself may have taken just hours to devastate the building, the process of recovery and redevelopment involves careful planning, discussions and securing the necessary approvals. This can take several years, particularly so when working with historic structures and ensuring compliance with modern Building Regulations and safety standards. While many hotels are required to comply with certain fire safety regulations, sprinkler systems are not always mandated, notably so in lower-rise buildings. Sprinkler systems can significantly reduce the extent of damage during a fire and help protect lives. The Claremont Hotel fire, like many others, highlights the impact of fire on a business and the knock-on effect on the community. It also highlights our view of the need for effective fire safety measures, including sprinklers, in all hotel buildings, particularly so older ones that have been converted for modern use. It does make one wonder about a similar and more recent fire event that occurred in a listed building converted to a hotel, namely The Chiltern Firehouse in London. The February 2025 blaze, which spread from a pizza oven and caused extensive damage to a four-storey building, took over five hours to bring under control and required the attention of more than 100 firefighters. Despite no injuries occurring, the fashionable London building will be closed for the foreseeable future. This episode has highlighted the need to carefully evaluate fire safety measures in hotels, particularly those housed in historic buildings converted for hotel use. How long will it be before this building is repaired and returned to use? As Eastbourne looks toward its future, the transformation of The Claremont Hotel site offers hope that one of the town’s most historic areas can be revitalised, with the developer “promising to blend modern living with Eastbourne’s rich heritage”. While it has been a long and difficult journey, the next chapter is now in view for The Claremont Hotel site, with the once-derelict land rising from the ashes and once again becoming a vibrant element of Eastbourne’s Grand Parade.

"I'm having a blast researching these topics and collaborating with leading researchers," said Hamrah "The idea that we can transform eight hours of unconsciousness into boundless exploration electrifies me… Many advances in lab induction and reality check techniques have followed and only lead to brief dreams averaging under two minutes." Hamrah's mission is to develop reliable methods to induce lucid dreams in the lab in Computational Neuroscience and hopes to bring cutting-edge machine-learning methods to neuroscience by researching dreams and building sleep technology rigorous scientific studies on the impacts of lucid dreams are scarce," he said a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University and mentor to Hamrah has worked with him on lucid dream research "Armin has carved himself out as a unique character In our first year of working closely together Armin proved himself to be an inspired and promising young scientist," said Mallett Hamrah represents the College's mission to prepare students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business and to pursue scholarship that contributes to intellectual vitality and the understanding of public policy issues CMC's Interim Assistant Director of Fellowships Advising "Armin's professors call out his dedication to forwarding the field of lucid dreaming," said Lai they note his dedication to understanding whether or not a lucid dream state can be induced It's clear they believe his contributions to this field will be significant With the backing of the Goldwater and the clout this particular award carries I'm sure he'll make a mark on this area of work."

back and volunteer,” he says motivates me to tackle challenges and create positive change I want to make change in any community I’m part of.” “it really seemed like my job was to go in and create this program.” He called it the Sagehen Civic Scholars Internship Program When he returned to campus in late summer for the start of school Crowley paid a visit to Claremont City Manager Adam Pirrie to pitch his idea Five minutes into the conversation Pirrie interjected Deputy City Manager Katie Wand took up the concept with department heads asking them to identify projects in their areas that a student intern could do for an entire semester The city manager’s one requirement: “I don’t want anyone here doing busywork The interns' work should be meaningful and substantive they had outlined nine internship opportunities ranging from tracking city policy actions regarding housing to developing a mechanism to monitor electricity and water usage in city facilities Pirrie told Crowley at their first meeting that in 20 years with the city he had seen just two or three college interns at City Hall Crowley notes that half the interns are first-year students they come in with the most enthusiasm,” he says adding that he created the program because he wishes there had been something like it for him to be part of during his first year of college studying politics and economics at the London School of Economics but he has no doubt that another student will be able to carry on the Civic Scholars program plans are well underway to expand it to the other undergraduate colleges in the consortium Crowley says that in his senior year he very well may apply for an internship himself “These projects sound really interesting.” Deputy City Manager Wand shares Crowley’s enthusiasm “I’m so proud of the work that the interns have completed so far,” she says remarking about the enthusiasm they bring to the work The City of Claremont is providing a welcoming environment and mentorship for the students which has a positive impact on the “town-gown” relationship “Our hope is that programs like this one will foster student interest in local government professions and will eventually result in the next generation of public servants!” Part of  The Claremont Colleges Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time We’re bringing our blog to a close for the day Here

Zempilas “has some questions to answer” “Western Australia is a place where you have industries sitting alongside government and the community and that’s why as members of parliament or as a government or as an opposition it’s important that we are completely upfront with all our relationships to make sure that any perceptions of a conflict of interest are resolved,” he said Zempilas did not directly address questions regarding the nature of his relationship with Rinehart at the time of the vote and whether it was necessary for him to declare an impartiality interest but said his broadcast career had led him to interact with people “of all walks of life” I was employed by Channel 7 and was asked to attend and MC many hundreds probably thousands of events,” he told this masthead “Meeting and interacting with people from all walks of life was part of my job.” West Coast coach Andrew McQualter has revealed everything was put on the table during the recent meeting between the club’s hierarchy and senior players but says it’s factually incorrect to label it an intervention The Eagles’ football department met with a core of the club’s senior players last month following West Coast’s disastrous 0-5 start to the season The West Coast Eagles have had a grim start to the season with the club now 0-7 after last week’s loss to Hawthorn Players were free to air their thoughts and grievances at the meeting and it led to a much-improved performance in their two-point loss to Essendon just days later Last-placed West Coast are now 0-7 following last week’s 50-point defeat to Hawthorn but McQualter hopes the meeting has provided a path forward for the club to fix any problems The meeting had been labelled an intervention in the press I just knew it was factually wrong,” McQualter said on Thursday “I think any organisation that’s underperforming that doesn’t get their most influential people in a room to figure it out is being negligent West Coast

Cook government’s own climate change legislation in the upper house – with a few alterations The Cook government failed to pass its Climate Change Bill in the last parliament despite its control of

Pettitt.Credit: Hamish Hastie The stunt comes as WA’s north-west coast experiences its worst-ever marine heatwave New Environment Minister Matthew Swinbourn spoke to the scale of the heatwave and bleaching in his first ministerial statement to parliament on Tuesday “The scale and intensity of coral bleaching has never before been witnessed in WA waters,” he said bleaching has not been restricted to shallow water lagoons and reef flats but has occurred in deeper water on the outside of reefs where bleaching is typically much less likely to occur widespread bleaching has been observed for the first time on reefs throughout the Kimberley which are considered to be among the most heat tolerant in the world “The scale and duration of this marine heatwave exceeds any previously recorded conditions on the Western Australian coast.” incoming Greens upper house MP and the party’s fossil fuel climate change and healthy oceans spokeswoman “This is exactly what climate scientists have warned of for decades if governments did not start to phase out fossil fuels WA Labor has been adding fuel to the underwater fire raging off our coasts by approving massive new gas projects,” she said says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as he is asked if minority government would be a failure During his press conference at Winthrop Primary School a journalist asks: “If you lose your majority What right would you have to stay as leader if you do lose the government its majority?” Albanese answers: “What I’m about is maximising our position on Saturday “No prime minister has been re-elected in this country having served a full term since 2004 WA Premier Roger Cook has goaded Peter Dutton saying the federal opposition leader would have seen the headway being made on clean energy if he had visited Collie where the Coalition has proposed establishing a nuclear power plant Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and WA Premier Roger Cook during a visit to Winthrop Primary School on Thursday morning.Credit: Alex Ellinghausen Speaking alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Labor’s Tangney MP Sam Lim at Winthrop Primary School on Thursday morning Cook claimed WA would go backwards under a Dutton government “The Liberals and Nationals have already announced large cuts to the WA public sector,” he said “They’ll rip $17 billion of support for our critical minerals jobs across Western Australia “The fact that they could not back the production tax credit scheme is an important indication that the Liberals and Nationals simply are opposed to WA jobs and opposed to prosperity in the Western Australian community.” Cook then took aim at Dutton’s nuclear power “fantasy”: If he was down there with the prime minister and I last week he would have seen that Collie has already begun the clean energy transition: banks upon banks of batteries And he will never be the beneficiary of seeing the evidence that the clean energy transition has well and truly begun in
