    ISSN 1833-1831 Tel: 08 8672 5920 http://cooberpedyregionaltimes.wordpress.com Thursday 19 May 2016 EARLY COOBER PEDY SHOW HOME/DUGOUT - FOR SALE Coober Pedy is a town steeped in the rich history of early opal mining and its related industry tourism. The buying and selling of dugouts is a way of life in the Opal Capital of the World where the majority of family homes are subterranean. A strong real-estate presence has always been evident in Coober Pedy, but opal mining family John and Jerlyn Nathan with their two daughters are self-selling their historic dugout in order to buy an acreage just out of town that will suit their growing family’s needs better. The Nathan family currently live on the edge of town, a few minutes from the school and not far from the shops. Despite they brag one of most historic homes around with a position and a view from the east side of North West Ridge to be envied, John tells us that his growing family needs more space outside. “Prospector’s Dugout has plenty of space inside, with 4 bedrooms plus,” said John. “But the girls have grown in 5 years and we have an opportunity, once this property is sold, to buy an acreage outside of town, and where my daughters can have a trail bike and other outdoor activities where it won’t bother anyone.” “I will regret relinquishing our location and view but I think kids need the freedom of the outdoors when they are growing up,’ he said. John and Jeryln bought the 1920’s dugout at 720 Russell John and Jerlyn Nathan with daughters De’ Arna and Darna on the patio at Prospector’s Dugout.

  • Coober Pedy, South Australia
    The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri).

  • Baker Marquart and Quinn Emanuel Win Jury Verdict in Last Samurai Case
    Baker Marquart and Quinn Emanuel Win Jury Verdict in Last Samurai Case Law360, New York (May 24, 2012, 11:30 AM ET) -- With the reputations of “The Last Samurai” director Edward Zwick and his longtime collaborator Marshall Herskovitz on the line, Gary Gans of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP fought back against allegations of screenplay theft with a multipronged strategy that used the film itself as its own defense. The case centered on two screenwriting brothers, Aaron and Matthew Benay, who in 2005 claimed Zwick and Herskovitz, along with Bedford Falls Productions, had stolen the idea for the 2003 Tom Cruise film from a screenplay the Benay brothers had allegedly submitted to Bedford Falls. Zwick and Herskovitz, longtime collaborators behind films like “Traffic” and “Blood Diamond” and television shows like “Thirtysomething” and “My So-Called Life,” denied using the Benays’ screenplay in writing and producing their film. They asserted that the evidence showed their project was the product of an intense collaboration with “Gladiator” writer John Logan. While the claims of copyright infringement and breach of implied contract were tossed in 2008, two years later, the Ninth Circuit reversed the dismissal of the breach-of-implied- contract claim while affirming the dismissal of the copyright claim. Gans came to the conclusion that the central theme of the movie — honor — was one of the pathways to his clients’ vindication. “The key to this case from my viewpoint was that the movie was largely about honor,” Gans told Law360. “We tried to channel that theme and the emotion of the movie so that they would be associated not only with the movie, but also with our clients in the courtroom as honorable people — which they are — and to show that they had no need or desire to steal someone else's ideas.” What was fundamental to that line of reasoning was to avoid falling into the trap of being labeled the Hollywood establishment types against the young and aspiring writers.

The three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter of such films as Skyfall and Hugo returns with two new plays on Broadway and in London’s West End, respectively. I’ll Eat You Last is a one-woman show about legendary Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers, whose clients included Barbra Streisand, Cher, Gene Hackman and Mike Nichols. Currently on Broadway, starring Bette Midler, I’ll Eat You Last is nominated for the 2013 Drama League awards for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off-Broadway Play. Based on the real individuals that inspired J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Peter and Alice tells the story of when Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932. Currently playing to acclaim in the West End, Judi Dench stars as Alice and Ben Whishaw as Peter in this new play where enchantment and reality collide. “A delectable soufflé of a solo show… It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan… Tangy and funny.” — New York Times on I’ll Eat You Last “A haunting play that sounds profound notes of loss and grief..
