LEISURE Lea Retirement Village Marsfield residents 

Shirley and Walter Pendleton reached a milestone 

recently when they celebrated their 70th wedding 

anniversary. 

The couple are pictured at the anniversary party in 

Beecroft Presbyterian Church hall where they celebrated 

with an extended family of nearly fifty together 

with friends. 

Shirley and Walter were married on January 10, 

1948 at Box Hill Methodist Church in Victoria. Wal 

served in Papua New Guinea in the RAAF as a telegraphist 

between 1944 and 1945. 

They waited until after the war before getting married 

and moved into their new home in Mowbray Road 

Lane Cove in 1949. It was there that they brought up 

five children. Both were involved in Mowbray Public 

School P & C and worked hard in all aspects of the 

life of St James Presbyterian Church in Farren Street 

Lane Cove including the Sunday School, the Elders' 

Council and the Women's Association. 

Wal was promoted to Manager of the ANZ Bank ~t 

South Grafton in 1967. They returned to Sydney m 

1971 to make their home at Beecroft. Once again 

they immersed themselves in the life of their local 

Presbyterian Church which continues to this day. 

Wal worked for 43 years in the ANZ Bank. After a 

three year break he spent the next 20 years as Office 

Manager for a firm of solicitors. They moved to 

Leisure Lea Retirement Village in 1998 from where 

Wal commuted into the city each day until he was 82. 

Their dedication to family, friends and community, 

together with old fashioned courtesy and a work ethic 

forged through a Depression and a World War, are 

qualities which endear them to all who know them. 

Shirl and Wal have been blessed with five children, 

eleven grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

AUSTRALIA DAY 2016 2018 2015 

Let’s Celebrate 

Meet our Hunters Hill 

A skilled musician 

in TWT TERRITORY 

who plays the guitar 

AUSTRALIA DAY: 

Have YOUR Say! 

The Weekly Times invites readers to Have YOUR Say! on 

January 26 – YES or NO 

the issues you believe to be important today and for the days 

ahead. 

THIS WEEK we invite you to Have YOUR Say on the issue of 

Australia Day and the day it should be observed as our National 

Day. 

THE WEEKLY TIMES SPECIAL INQUIRY 

Every January in recent times the matter of January 26 as Australia Day 

has been raised by various individuals and groups expressing their concerns 

for the appropriateness of the date as our national day of celebration. 

Originally January 26 was known as Anniversary Day celebrating the arrival of the First 

Fleet under the leadership of the first Governor Captain Arthur Phillip at Sydney Cove in 

1788 and the planting of the Union Jack on the soil of what was to become Sydney town. 

Australia Day should be a day when ALL AUSTRALIANS can 

celebrate together and be thankful for all the benefits we have 

received living in “the Best country in the world”. We should be 

proud of our past and thank those who have come before us 

and provided a magnificent inheritance for us all to enjoy. 

Have YOUR Say on Facebook, twitter, our website www. 

weeklytimes.com.au, email: contactus@weeklytimes.com.au 

(use #AustraliaDay) or good old fashioned snail mail at TWT, 

PO Box 123 Ryde NSW 1680. 

This was the foundation of what we now 

know as the Commonwealth of Australia 

with the common language of English, like 

it or not, but that is the reality of it all. 

A few months later we may have all been 

speaking French, or Dutch, or Portuguese. 

Or in more recent times Japanese. 

Proponents of changing the date have 

never been able to come up with an appropriate 

or better date to commemorate 

and celebrate. Until they do they are simply 

flapping in the air. 

The latest protagonist is the Greens national 

leader Dr Richard Di Natale who obviously

Pool drowning 

is preventable 

Dear Sir, 

I write to you in my 

capacity as the CEO of 

Royal Life Saving Society 

- Australia, to ask 

all readers to take the 

greatest of care when 

children are in or around 

water. 

Royal Life Saving’s latest 

campaign - “Keep Watch” 

- urges all parents not to 

be complacent about their 

child’s safety around water. 

Our latest research 

shows that 461 children 

under the age of five have 

died in Australia over 

the past 15 years due to 

drowning. 

Of these, half the drownings 

were in home pools or 

spas. 

In 100 percent of child 

drowning cases in home 

swimming pools, active 

adult supervision had either 

lapsed or was entirely 

absent. 

Water is only safe when 

you are watching. Distractions 

like answering the 

phone, attending to another 

child or going inside 

briefly to grab something 

can have absolutely tragic 

consequences if a toddler 

is left unattended by water. 

An average of 31 children 

tragically drown every year. 

For every toddler drowning 

death, approximately 

10 children are admitted to 

hospital as a result of nonfatal 

drowning. 

Drowning is preventable. 

We ask all readers to follow 

the four Keep Watch key 

actions to prevent toddler 

drowning: 

Letters to the editor 

Always actively supervise 

all children around 

water; regularly check and 

maintain your pool fence 

and gate; teach children 

water awareness; and 

learn CPR. 

We ask all parents to take 

every precaution when 

it comes to their child’s 

safety around water. Readers 

can obtain tips and resources

snowy Mark 2 

is not viable 

Dear Sir, 

I am a civil engineer 

who had a senior role 

with a major contractor 

while working for some 

six years on the Snowy 

Mountains Scheme, and 

who afterwards worked 

as an executive engineer 

on many major resources 

projects in Australia 

and overseas. 

This is a copy of a letter 

I have written to Prime 

Minister Malcolm Turnbull 

with copies to Josh 

Frydenberg, Barnaby 

Joyce, Mat Canavan, Jan 

Prentice, Deb Frecklington, 

Christian Rowan and 

Michael Hart: 

It is with this background, 

that I would seriously 

question your widely 

reported assertion that 

Snowy Mk 2 is economically 

viable. 

By what measure would 

it be viable? I would suggest 

only by the measure 

of doing the arithmetic

based on adjusting energy 

costs upwards far enough 

to pay for its construction 

and operation. 

It will certainly not be 

economically viable if the 

energy costs fed into the 

equation are those costs 

that we had in the early 

2000s when our electricity 

basically came from 

coal-fired power stations. 

That’s the target at which 

we should be aiming. 

The project will not increase 

Australia’s available 

water supply or generate 

any new electricity. 

It certainly will not provide 

enough power for 

500,000 homes as you 

claim. That power will 

come from prime generating 

sources and just be inefficiently 

cycled through 

Snowy Mk 2. 

This whole project of 

which you are so proud 

is no more than window 

dressing to cover up your 

scheme to impose an unviable 

renewable energy 

policy on Australia that will 

bring rivers of gold to the 

big energy players. 

It is well known that last 

year AGL made $1bn profit, 

paid for by consumers, 

and that in 2009 Goldman 

Sachs announced it 

would spend $150 billion 

on green energy by 2020. 

Where do your real interests 

lie, Prime Minister?

tenants still at 

Ivanhoe Place 

Dear Sir, 

Whilst we in this Community 

were out enjoying 

our New Year celebrations 

and looking 

forward to the coming 

year approximately 73 

families were still on the 

Ivanhoe Estate waiting to 

be moved by Family and 

Community Services so 

that the Estate can be 

demolished to make way 

for new dwellings. 

It seems that FACS 

have ‘run out’ of places 

for the tenants to stay 

in the Ryde area and so 

these very scared tenants 

face being moved away 

from the surroundings 

that they love. 

The Ivanhoe Estate is 

now a half empty, neglected 

place and I am 

sure that these people 

are feeling very confused 

and scared for their futures. 

I have been moved and 

whilst I am happy I simply 

cannot settle while I see 

these lovely people living 

like this. 

I just want to remind the 

outer Communities that 

they are still there facing 

an unsure 2018 and my 

heart is with them all the 

way.

THE WORLD League 

for Protection of Animals 

Inc (WLPA) is an Australian 

campaign and rescue 

organisation which 

has been fighting for the 

rights and well being of 

animals, both native and 

non-native, since 1935. 

WLPA was registered 

under the Charitable Collections 

Act, NSW 1934 on 

May 14, 1937. 

We are self-funded as 

we receive no government 

subsidies or grants and we 

aim to use our funds for 

the benefit of the animal 

causes we champion and 

keep our core staff to a 

minimum. 

WLPA is funded solely by 

membership fees and the 

generosity of our supporters 

and relies on the support 

of compassionate and 

generous volunteers for 

hands on rescue work. 

The organisation runs a 

‘no-kill’ animal rescue program. 

* * * 

UNLIKE other major animal 

welfare organisations, 

we have a network of volunteers 

who assist the 

community in trapping and 

rescuing abandoned companion 

animals as part of 

our Cat Compassion Community 

Circle initiative. 

When you support us by 

donating money or goods, 

you will be directly supporting 

animals in need. 

Many animals now and in 

the future rely on our work. 

Please help us to help 

them. 

Our mission is to actively 

promote the rights 

and well-being of animals 

through legislation, 

humane education and 

hands-on rescue work. 

To The POINT 

With 

ANNA HALL 

Our ‘no kill’ rescue program 

for companion animals 

aims to rescue, desex 

and rehome hundreds of 

abandoned kittens, cats, 

rabbits, dogs and other 

companion animals each 

year.

THE WLPA campaigns 

on the gross cruelty done 

to animals through 1080 

poisons. 

Currently this is as part of 

the Coalition of Australians 

Against 1080 Poison. 

Please help by signing 

this petition https://www. 

change.org/p/senator-derryn-hinch-ban-1080 

We also actively campaign 

to: 

- Stop the commercialisation 

of our native wildlife, 

with present emphasis on 

the Kangaroo 

- Ban the use of the steel 

jaw traps in Australia (we 

succeeded in having this 

banned in NSW and ACT 

in 1997) 

- Ban recreational hunting 

of all animals in NSW state 

forests and National Parks 

- Implement a no-kill policy 

in pounds and shelters 

to stop the killing of thousands 

of healthy cats and 

dogs every year 

- Lobby NSW councils to 

provide low cost desexing 

programs for low income 

carers 

- Abolish vivisection and 

the fur industry 

- Ban circuses with animals 

- Protect Australia’s dingo 

by lobbying our government 

to recognise and 

protect it as a vulnerable 

species. 

* * * 

WLPA OPERATES its 

adoption centre in Gladesville 

and is dependent on 

the local community to provide 

the volunteers to run it 

as well as to foster animals, 

until they find their forever 

homes. Are you one of the 

wonderful people in this 

community who are able to 

assist animals in need? 

If so please contact the 

WLPA on 9817 4892 or admin@wlap.org 

Volunteering 

with cats and kittens can 

be a life enhancing experience 

and many volunteers 

stay for years as a result. 

However we are always 

hoping to expand our service 

as the need is so great 

and always need new volunteers 

with a variety of 

skills and interests. 

Maybe you are currently 

unable to make this commitment 

but could still help 

by making a tax deductible 

donation or by letting anyone 

thinking of expanding 

their family with a companion 

animal, particularly 

at this time of year kittens 

know about our service. 

Remember: Love is a 

Four Legged Word.

Ruddock condemns Baha’i 

Death Sentence in Yemen 

Hornsby Shire Mayor Philip Ruddock has joined the local Baha’i community 

in expressing outrage over the death sentence of Hamed bin 

Haydara in Yemen. 

Mr Haydara, who has been detained since 

2013, received the death sentence on Tuesday 

January 2 on charges of disseminating 

the beliefs of his faith and spying for Israel. 

“I have been approached by members of 

the Baha’i community over this matter and 

I strongly agree with their concerns,” Mayor 

Ruddock said. 

“It is appalling to see the religious freedom 

of any group challenged in such a fundamental 

way. 

“I have had close contact with the Baha’i in 

Hornsby Shire over many years and they are 

a valuable part of our local community. 

“I share their anger over this matter and 

I join them in voicing my outrage at such a 

gross violation of human rights.”

Meadowbank photographer 

TWT on-the-spot PHOTO 

is a national portrait finalist 

A AA photographer is a finalist in the prestigious ational Photographic Portrait 

Prie. 

Lara Del Arte (pictured) 

is a camera operator 

with the ABC 

and an acclaimed 

emerging filmaker. 

She told The Weekly 

Times she is thrilled 

to be a finalist although 

her selected 

image remains a 

closely guarded secret. 

“They have selected 

44 works for exhibition 

from a competitive 

field of 3,224 entries,” 

Lara said. 

“Unfortunately I 

can’t say anything 

about the photo until 

the unveiling at the 

National Portrait Gallery 

in Canberra on 

the 23rd of March.” 

Lara moved to 

Meadowbank from 

Melbourne eleven 

years ago when she 

completed a Bachelor 

of Arts Degree 

in Film and Television 

Production. 

“I had no plans for 

further study but after 

finding out that 

Meadowbank TAFE 

offered photography 

and painting courses 

I couldn’t resist. 

“Since completing 

the classes I’ve 

been doing commercial 

photography but 

never quite had the 

confidence to enter 

into a photography 

competition. 

“This year I bit the 

bullet and it paid off.” 

For this talented 

Meadowbank artist, 

2018 is looming and 

zooming as a year to 

remember. 

“The year has started 

off really well for 

me as I’ve also got a 

film I directed screening 

at Flickerfest, an 

Academy® Accredited 

and BAFTA recognised 

film festival 

which kicks off at the 

Bondi Pavilion. 

“My photographic 

inspiration stems 

from my background 

as a filmmaker. 

“I love a good story. 

“As a filmmaker I 

have the luxury to tell 

a story using multiple 

frames over a period 

of time but as a photographer 

I have to 

tell a story capturing 

a single moment, one 

frame. 

“I love that challenge. 

“People in their environments, 

real slice 

of life stories are 

what I like to capture 

most. “ 

Lara hopes filmgoers 

will enjoy her 

work. 

“I’m so thrilled that 

I’m a NPPP finalist 

and that my film can 

be seen on the big 

screen,” she adds. 

“ It feels great to be 

recognised for all the 

hard work and dedication 

I have for my 

craft.”

Parramatta River project 

wins major Aussie award 

A STUNNING new community centre on the Parramatta River 

foreshore was been presented with a major Australian design 

award this week. 

The $21 million Connection 

building on the 

foreshore at Rhodes 

won the Planning Institute 

of Australia (PIA) 

NSW Award which was 

jointly presented to the 

City of Canada Bay and 

Urbis and Crone Architects. 

City of Canada Bay 

Mayor Angelo Tsirekas 

described The Connection 

as the jewel in the 

crown of the From Plan 

To Place project, which 

was designed to open 

up the Rhodes foreshore 

to residents and 

visitors. 

“The From Plan to 

Place project was the 

culmination of 10 years 

of integrated planning 

and placemaking to 

create a multi-purpose 

precinct to service the 

needs of a rapidly growing 

Rhodes population,” 

Mayor Tsirekas said. 

It is one of several 

awards related to work 

along the Parramatta 

River foreshore. 

“The City of Canada 

Bay and the Inner West 

Council also jointly won 

an annual CILTA (Chartered 

Institute of Logistics 

and Transport) 

award in the ‘Moving 

People’ category,” he 

said. 

“This award acknowledged 

the excellent 

work on the ‘Guided 

Electric Vehicle Project’, 

which included a sub- 

mission of a solution 

to Parramatta Road’s 

transport issues. 

“Council also received 

highly commended for 

issues management for 

how staff handled the 

Pokemon Go issue in 

Rhodes last year at the 

recent Public Relations 

Institute of Australia industry 

awards. 

s part of our efforts 

to clean up the Parramatta 

River, The City 

of Canada Bay joined 

forces with the NSW 

Environment Protection 

Authority (EPA), Department 

of Planning and 

Environment and 10 

other councils for the 

‘Get the Site Right’ blitz. 

“This project - which is

Group) - won a 

Highly Commended 

Award at the Local Government

Low life scum terrify elderly in fake tax scam 

LOW life scum are frightening aged locals in a telephone scam which warns them there 

is a warrant out for their arrest on tax fraud charges. 

The scam leaves a 

recorded message 

from the tax office on 

phone answering machines 

which quotes 

a tax file number and 

demands the immdiate 

payment of money. 

North Sydney MP 

Trent Zimmerman said 

he is disgusted by the 

scam. 

“I know from local residents 

and my own family 

members who have 

received the call that it 

can sound real and can 

cause great distress, 

particularly at this time 

of year,” Mr Zimmerman 

said. 

They even claim the 

police are about to 

come to your door to arrest 

you if the payment 

is not made. 

“What is despicable 

about these scammers 

is that it is often the elderly 

who receive these 

calls and it is hard to 

believe that anyone 

would target our senior 

citizens in this way but 

it happens. 

“This is one of a number 

of scams that many 

Australians have fallen 

prey to.” 

Fortunately, the authorities 

are aware of 

the scam on the arrest 

An artist’s impression of The Connection on the foreshore of the Parramatta River at Rhodes. 

of the scum threatening 

elderly people with arrest 

could be imminent. 

Mr Zimmerman said 

that in the meantime 

local residents should 

treat the calls with contempt 

they deserve. 

“This is a well-known 

scam and residents 

should simply hang up 

the phone,” he said. 

Mr Zimmerman also 

said that the Australian 

Competition and Consumer 

Commission has 

an excellent webpage 

– www.scamwatch.gov. 

au – which outlines the 

most common scams 

and how they can be 

reported. 

“Their advice to protect 

yourself is don’t be 

pressured by a threatening

antalising avours of ld Spain arrive in Gladesville 

A SS new tapas restaurant has opened in Gladesville. 

Located in a heritage 

setting at 181 Victoria 

Road in Gladesville, the 

new Miguel’s Tapas Bar 

offers two levels of five 

star dining with an outdoor 

al fresco dining area 

discreetly set behind 

a sandstone pathway 

decked with flowers. 

This enchanting new 

restaurant certainly has 

a very good claim to be 

one of the most outstanding 

and elegant dining 

venues in the Hunters 

Hill municipality, complete 

with a tapas menu 

unsurpassed in ydney. 

All meals are expertly 

prepared by masterchefs 

Alex and Sardor and are 

inspired by traditional 

panish home cooking. 

“My mentor, Martha, 

is from alamanca in 

Spain and our meals are 

authentic and unique,” 

Miguel’s Tapas Bar owner 

and manager Karmen 

said. 

“Like our Tapas Bar interior, 

our meals are a fusion 

between the modern 

and the traditional, prepared 

with care and enthusiasm 

by our incredible 

team of chefs. 

The house specialty is 

Gambas A La Plancha, 

a stunning dish of grilled 

prawns in the shell with 

evoo, garlic and lemon. 

ur choice of the tapas 

selection is Patatas Bravas 

which features spicy 

and deep fried potatoes 

with aioli and Migue’s 

signature spicy sauce. 

overs of traditional 

panish food with be delighted 

by the wide selection 

of tapas on the menu 

and the taste of maritime 

Spain is well represented 

by dishes that include 

the Pulpo A La Gallega - 

a Galician style octopus 

served with potatoes and 

a touch of pimenton. 

f course no traditional 

tapas bar would be complete 

without a range of 

ensaladas and our choice 

is the Blue Cheese And 

Nuts Ensalad prepared 

with walnuts, pinenuts 

pepitas and grape wine 

reduction. 

“We encourage our 

patrons to bring along 

an authentic Spanish 

wine or a fine ustralian 

wine to compliment their 

choice of meals, armen 

said. 

“To us, authentic Spanish 

tapas dining is about 

exploring a selection 

from our menu and sharing 

the experience at 

an exciting or intimate 

choice of tables. 

The heritage ambience 

of iguels sandstone interiors 

evoke a sense of 

Old Spain and there are 

traditional Spanish art 

murals that reflect the exciting 

world of regional, 

village pain. 

“We’ve created a dining 

experience that features 

intimate and romantic tables 

for two with vibrant 

upstairs, downstairs and 

outdoor table settings 

which make for a fun experience 

for parties and 

group functions, armen 

adds. 

Perhaps the most surprising 

aspect of this 

amazing new restaurant 

is that all the meals 

are reasonably priced, 

with many tapas dishes 

around $12 and even the 

most equisite dishes under 

. 

The dessert menu is 

also classical Spanish 

and our choice is the Crema 

Catalana; the Honey 

Figs With Cinammon Ice 

Cream; the Mascarpone 

Mousse with Mixed Berries 

and of course the 

irresistable chocolate ice 

cream. 

iguels is open for 

lunch on weekends from 

11am and a great option 

on a hot summer day are 

the dishes Jamon Seranno 

Con Pan Y Tomate 

and the Salamabnca And 

Cantimpalo. 

The restaurant is open 

for dinner from .pm 

until pm from Tuesday 

to Sunday and welcomes 

guests. 

“We particularly welcome 

families with children 

and we have some 

wonderful toys for them 

to play with while mum 

and dad enjoy our authentic 

tapas experience.

GENERAL MANAGER 

Ryde’s multi-accident Black Spot 

BY OUR MOTORING EDITOR 

Two serious car accidents in as many weeks 

has angered residents living near the intersection 

of Shepherd and Sewell Streets in 

Ryde. 

Last week a man cheated death in his blue 

Yaris after a 32-year-old woman travelling 

west on Sewell Street in a Mercedes AMG C63 

sedan, ignored ‘Give Way’ signs on both sides 

before entering the intersection. 

“He told her she was an 

idiot and pointed towards 

the ‘Give Way’ signs.” 

The resident said another 

“more serious accident” 

happened the 

previous week after another 

driver didn’t give 

way as required from 

Sewell Street. 

“The debris from that 

accident is still fresh on 

the side of road. Someone 

will be killed soon if 

Someone will be killed soon, say locals 

the accidents happen at 

this rate,” the resident 

said. 

Another resident, from 

Shepherd Street said: 

“This place is a death 

trap and (Ryde) council 

is aware of it. We need 

something done now to 

avoid any unnecessary 

deaths and not when it’s 

too late.” 

The Mercedes sustained 

minor damage 

after spinning towards a 

telegraph pole, narrowly 

missing it. 

The driver of the mangled 

Yaris ended up on 

a grassed area to the 

right of Shepherd Street, 

missing a parked car on 

the way. 

Both drivers were fortunately 

able to walk from 

their cars, albeit dazed, 

with their cars towed 

away. 

At-fault driver won’t get 

a fine or lose points 

TWT SPECIAL REPORT 

Emergency services - including the 

fire brigade ambulance and two local 

police ocers attended the scene of 

last week’s smash. 

But in an increasingly familiar scenario, 

the Mercedes driver in last week’s 

accident - understood to be a female 

from Rhodes - won’t lose a point or a 

dollar after breaching road rules. 

NSW authorities are happy to extract 

hundreds of dollars and handfuls of 

demerit points from hard-working Australians, 

courtesy of sneaky, revenueraising 

eorts like mobile speed camera 

operator hiding in bushes. 

But drivers known to have been negligent 

or reckless are o limits police at 

the scene said, unless a driver is suspected 

of being under the inuence of 

alcohol or drugs; refuses to exchange 

insurance details, or someone is killed 

or injured. 

The NSW Police accident protocols 

were introduced in 2014 to reduce police 

workloads and red tape meant they 

weren’t required to investigate the accident. 

Despite the potential of serious injury 

or fatality in last week’s crash, police attending 

said they also weren’t required 

to apportion blame to either driver. 

he ocers also did not test either 

driver for drug and alcohol. 

Inaction by police during accidents 

where a driver is clearly at fault, has 

recently been a source of public angst. 

Last weekend it was reported the 

driver responsible for serious headon 

collision with a Mercedes 4WD, in 

which a Sydney family was travelling to 

the south coast, would not be investigated. 

Police weren’t required after Boost 

Mobile CEO, Paul O’Neile, his wife and 

three teenage children survived the 

January 3 horror crash at Swanhaven 

despite their vehicle being irreparably 

crushed.

Epping Scouts launch 

appeal for new boatshed 

The Epping Scout Group launched an appeal to raise up to half a 

million dollars to build a new boad shed and wharf at Meadowbank. 

The new facility will 

replace the existing 

boatshed and wharf 

which is too small 

to meet the scout 

group’s needs and 

has suffered damage 

and deterioration 

to the wharf, next to 

Meadowbank ferry 

terminus. 

The new facility 

will also be used 

for teaching scouts 

boating and water 

safety. 

Epping Scout 

Group’s Michael 

Mannasz told The 

Weekly Times a Go- 

FundMe page has 

been set up and the 

scouts will seek financial 

support from 

local MPs. 

“Our group have 

had a boatshed in 

Meadowbank since 

1939, which is used 

for sailing and canoeing 

activities by local 

scouts,” he said. 

“The current building 

dates from 1977 

and is in need of renewal. 

“Our group is seeking 

community and 

government assistance 

with the extensive 

costs of updating 

and redeveloping 

the boatshed, so that 

it can continue to be 

used for education 

and recreation by local 

scouts.” 

“Costs for designs 

and approvals for 

the development will 

fall due in late 2017 

to early 2018, with 

Stage 1 of construction 

expected to 

commence in 2018.” 

Mr Mannasz said 

that - having introduced 

a Sea Scout 

Section in 1934 - the 

Group was fortunate 

to obtain in 1939 

a boatshed site at 

Meadowbank, when 

AWA handed over 

their jetty, previously 

used for transport to 

the Homebush transmitter 

site. 

“The original shed 

was built under wartime 

restrictions, rebuilt 

in the 1950s, 

and finally replaced 

with the present brick 

structure in 1977. 

“Boating activities 

have been a feature 

of the Group’s program, 

although the 

Sea Scout section 

was merged with 

the General Troop in 

1987 to consolidate 

training.” 

The 1st Epping 

Scout Group was 

formed in July 1915 

by Mr Bill Hunt, a 

local Plumber, only 

eight years after 

the Movement was 

founded by Lord 

Baden Powell at 

Brownsea Island in 

England. 

“t has operated 

continuously since 

that date, and is one 

of the oldest Scout 

Groups in Australia 

to have done so but 

is now just called 

Epping Scouts,” Mr 

Mannasz said. 

“Having introduced 

a Sea Scout Section 

in 1934, the Group 

was fortunate to obtain 

in 1939 a boatshed 

site at Meadowbank, 

when AWA 

handed over their 

jetty, previously used 

for transport to the 

Homebush transmitter 

site. 

“The original shed 

was built under wartime 

restrictions, rebuilt 

in the 1950s, 

and finally replaced 

with the present 

brick structure in 

1977. Boating activities 

have been a feature 

of the Group’s 

program, although 

the Sea Scout section 

was merged with 

the General Troop in 

1987 to consolidate 

training.” 

It is all smiles in Meadowbak this week as Epping Scout Group’s Group Leader Brendan Buckley launches the 

appeal at the boatshed alongside scout Brendan Mannasz. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO 

Boxing Day tragedy funeral 

held in St Marys Concord 

THE family killed in the Boxing Day road tragedy were farewelled at St Mary’s Church in Concord 

last week. 

Annabelle Falkholt and 

parents Lars and Vivian 

were killed in the headon 

crash on the Princes 

Highway near Sussex 

Inlet on the NSW south 

coast. 

The driver of the car that 

crashed into the Falkholts, 

50-year-old Craig 

Whitall, was also killed. 

In a funeral notice published 

in the Sydney 

Morning Herald said: 

“Lars, Vivian and Annabelle 

will be deeply 

missed by Vivian’s brother 

Paul, his children along 

with many relatives and 

friends both near and far.” 

Annabelle’s partner Jordan 

Brohier told Facebook 

that he had lost “the 

love of my life.” 

“I’ve never met such a 

kind, gentle soul and this 

world is at such a loss 

without this beautiful angel,” 

he said. 

“I know that the lord 

and her amazing parents 

will take care of my girl in 

heaven and I wish all the 

best to all of their family. 

They are all amazing people.”

GRANT GOES! 

NSW Nationals Leader and Deputy Premier Troy Grant has paid the price of sheepishly 

following dictator Liberal Premier Mike Baird on the road to oblivion over forced amalgamations 

of local Councils and the execution of Local Democracy. 

Grant announced his resignation yesterday before his colleagues had the chance to publicly sack him for 

leading them to the worst ever by-election result in NSW history! 

No Government held seat in the State can now be considered safe from the wrath of the electors who are fed 

up with the arrogance and dictatorship of the premier. 

Baird Next? 

Baird and Grant thought they had appeased voters when they tearily admitted they were wrong, wrong, wrong 

in banning greyhounds. 

But the electorate’s anger runs deeper especially with the forced amalgamations of local councils into mega 

cities and their lies and false claims associated with them. 

Plus the nanny state laws, closure and sale of the Powerhouse Museum, threats to public and crown lands with 

overdevelopments, city chaos with trams and desecration of hundreds of heritage trees especially the Anzac 

memorial trees in Anzac Avenue and threats to Tafe plus the general lack of community consultation with an 

arrogant “big brother knows best” attitude. 

No State seat is Safe now!

COURT DRAMA: STATE GOVT REBUFFED OVER COUNCIL MERGERS! 

Premier Must Rethink Forced Amalgamations OR It’s 

GOODBYE GLADYS! 

BY OUR CHIEF CIVIC ROUNDSMAN 

Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s forced council mergers 

have been blown out of the water with Ku-ring-gai 

Council winning its court battle to stop a forced merger 

with Hornsby on Monday. 

Hunters Hill Mayor Clr Richard Quinn says he is “absolutely 

thrilled by the court ruling” as Hunters Hill’s case is similar 

to Ku-ring-gai’s. 

“It’s fantastic, absolutely wonderful news” he said yesterday 

“and the court verdict confirms everything we’ve said about 

forced mergers from day one”. 

FULL STORY SEE PAGE 5. 

Forced council mergers ended Deputy Premier Troy Grant’s 

leadership career followed by resignation of Dictator Premier 

Mike Baird predicted by The Weekly Times November 16, 2016. 

TWT EDITORIAL 

Congratulations Premier 

Gladys - But Be Warned! 

The Weekly Times correctly predicted the 

resignation of the dictator Premier Mike 

Baird just two months ago following the 

disastrous Orange by-election and departure 

of Nationals Leader and Deputy Premier Troy 

Grant. 

New Premier Gladys Berejiklian must now 

support her Nationals coalition partner John 

Barilaro in calling a halt to forced Council 

amalgamations, or face the consequences. 

And that could mean taking her new 

government to the next State elections and 

oblivion. 

After all she was a very senior member of 

dictator Baird’s government that created the 

mess that the state government now finds 

itself in.

DEMOLITION – FOR NOW! 

BY OUR CIVIC ROUNDSMAN 

Ryde City Council has backed off from a proposal to demolish the Ryde 

Civic Centre after a hard hitting campaign in The Weekly Times. 

Ryde Council was scheduled to discuss demolition of the Civic 

Centre building at next Wednesday’s Council meeting following a 

report from the Ryde Civic Hub Committee. 

However, while next Wednesday’s meeting has three reports 

regarding the Civic Centre, none refer to the proposed building 

demolition. SEE FULL REPORT PAGE 3.

DEMOLITION PLANS 


Public anger has erupted over last week’s revelations in The Weekly Times that Ryde’s 

Liberal led – or misled - Council is squandering over $2 million of Ryde ratepayers hard 

earned money in lavish accommodation at Macquarie Park. 

Especially as that relates to over $10 

million over the next five years when for 

a meagre $100,000 or so the existing 

Ryde Civic Centre building could be 

repaired and continue to be used. 

The building has been declared 

structurally sound and does not need 

to be demolished as has been stated by 

leading construction management 

expert Professor John Smolders of 

Newcastle University’s prestigious 

School of Architecture and Built 

Environment. 

Demolition of the Civic Centre 

building would also mean that the 

adjoining Civic Hall would be lost to the 

community as well. Regular users are 

devastated at the news. “Where can we 

go?” they are asking.

Our Local Fire Heroes 

Two quick acting neighbours heroically 

saved a twelve year old boy and a dog from a 

blazing home in North Ryde on Saturday. 

Craig Harwood rescued the family dog from 

within the inferno and passing by Gareth 

Jones stopped his car and raced in to the 

home to save the boy. 

The fire broke out around 1pm in the garage 

of the Sunhill Place home and firefighters 

suspect it could have been started by a faulty 

electrical switch. 

Firefighters are reported to have battled the 

blaze for two hours and their efforts were 

hindered by problems with solar panels. 

Mr Jones is well known to readers of The 

Weekly Times in his position as Operations 

Manager of North Ryde RSL Community Club. 

Neighbours are assisting the family which 

lost a substantial amount of personal 

possessions in the blaze.

Rev Fred Nile Call to TWT Readers: 

Up the People’s Revolution and 

KEEP FIGHTING! 

For Local Democracy! 

Rev Fred Nile has been a longtime fighter against forced council amalgamations saying 

local democracy and independent councillors representing the suburbs they live in would be 

lost. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO. 

The Weekly Times readers and 

lovers of local democracy have 

been urged to continue to support 

the war against forced council 

amalgamations by Christian 

Democrats leader Rev Fred Nile. 

In a special message to The 

Weekly Times readers Rev Fred 

Nile warned “any amalgamations 

will take away the local emphasis 

and the bureaucracy will just get 

bigger and bigger”. 

Fred Nile’s Christian Democrats 

supported a successful Bill in 

NSW Parliament’s Upper House 

last Thursday to stop forced 

mergers with a vote of 21 – 18 

moved by the Shooters, Fishers 

and Farmers Party with Labor 

and Greens support. 

The Bill titled The Local 

Government 

Amendment 

(Amalgamation Referendums) Bill 

will now go to the Lower House 

where the pro-merger Berejiklian 

Liberal National coalition holds a 

majority. 

The Bill seeks to stop all forced 

mergers in Sydney until 

ratepayers are given a say in 

local referendums and includes 

de-amalgamations in areas 

forced to merge into giant metro 

councils. See more inside.

Sky Blues maintain unbeaten run 

SYDNEY FC played out an entertaining 0-0 draw away to Adelaide United last weekend, 

to stretch their unbeaten streak to eleven games (including the FFA Cup Final). 

Both sides had their 

chances with the Sky 

Blues coming the closest 

in a number of 

times in the second 

half. 

The drawn result 

means the Sky Blues 

maintain a six-point 

gap at the summit of 

the table. 

“We tried to put pressure 

everywhere on the 

pitch, as high as possible 

and I think we did 

this good,” said Sydney 

FC defender Jordy 

Buijs. 

“But sometimes you 

don’t have the luck 

and we keep moving 

on.” 

Meanwhile, Sydney 

FC announced the resigning 

of their star left 

back Michael Zullo for 

another two years. 

“It’s an honour to 

be remaining a Sky 

Blue for a further two 

years,” Zullo said. 

ydney C offers 

me everything on and 

off the pitch that you 

could ask for. It’s the 

biggest and best club 

in the country and 

there is nowhere else 

I’d rather be playing 

my football than within 

the family environment 

we have here. 

“I’m hungry for even 

more titles, especially 

with the 2018 AFC 

Champions League 

just around the corner. 

“I’m excited to continue 

growing as a 

player and person on 

and off the field and 

assume even more responsibility 

within the 

club.” 

Sydney FC Head 

Coach Graham Arnold 

said it was exciting to 

have Zullo remaining a 

Sky Blue. 

“Michael is one of 

the integral cogs in our 

defensive unit and it’s 

pleasing to have him 

on board for another 

two seasons,” Arnold 

said. 

Sydney FC next face 

the Central Coast Mariners 

this Saturday at 

Allianz Stadium, with 

kick-off at .pm. 

Pirates level up in 

Hunter Beaver Cup 

HUNTERS Hill Pirates cricket team edged out traditional rivals East 

Village Beavers in an absorbing City & Suburban Cricket competition 

fxture last weekend. 

Finally after no shows 

and bad weather, the 

Pirates managed to 

get back on the field. 

The Beavers won the 

seasons first encounter 

and it was time to 

square proceedings 

in the best of three 

clashes for the Hunter 

Beaver Cup. 

The Hillies won the 

toss and elected to 

bat first and after three 

overs were struggling 

at 3-4 . 

Skipper Andrew 

Hobden came to the 

crease and managed 

to steady the ship with 

an innings of 41 - posting 

a partnership of 89 

with Rodney Bourgjen 

(53). 

Alas after Hobden 

and Bourgjen departed 

a hat trick was 

on offer and another 

two ducks had been 

served up. 

Blocking out the hat 

trick ball Steve Drake 

(8) combined with 

James Woods (40) for 

a partnership of 40 

before Woods succumbed 

in the second 

last over. 

Despite four ducks, 

the Pirates compiled a 

total of 9-170. 

In reply, the Beavers 

struggled early against 

the Pirates attack and 

were 4-64 after 19 

overs. 

Manish Mistra 

claimed - off 

overs with Woods also 

claiming a wicket while 

Andy Ball had the ball 

on a string - snaring 

two wickets with spin 

- off six. 

He was supported 

from the other end by 

Ash Emmanuel who 

bagged - off five 

as the Beavers were 

dismissed eight runs 

shy of their mark. 

Another close game 

which puts the Cup in 

the balance at a win 

apiece and the decider 

scheduled for March.


Another ton for local cricket legend Les Morgan 

HE played against some of Australia’s all time greats and etched his name in 

Balmain cricket folklore as an all rounder and leader of the highest calibre. 

Now local sporting 

legend Les Morgan 

(pictured) of Concord 

has chalked up his 

most treasured century 

to date. 

The long serving 

Balmainiac reached 

another important 

milestone when he 

celebrated his 100th 

birthday last month. 

Morgan is believed to 

be the oldest surviving 

first grade cricketer to 

have played in the elite 

men’s historic Sydney 

grade competition. 

A stylish batsman 

and uickish off spinner 

in his heyday, Morgan 

captained Balmain 

Cricket Clubs first 

grade X1 for a record 

nine seasons from 

1943/44 to 1951/52 - a 

record that still stands 

today. 

nlike modern day 

cricketers, es had 

the privilege of playing 

with and against many 

greats of the game. 

During his tenure as 

skipper, es matched 

wits with some of the 

greatest Australian 

cricketers to have ever 

graced a cricket field. 

The Concord native 

lined up against cricket 

luminaries Bill O’Reilly, 

Richie Benaud, Stan 

McCabe, Sid Barnes, 

Keith Miller, Arthur 

Morris, Alan Davidson 

and ay indwall on 

the ydney first grade 

cricket scene as well 

as former Test players 

Ian Craig, Graham 

Hole, Ron Saggers and 

Ken Eastwood. 

He also played 

against the likes of 

legends es allowfield, 

ughie Chilvers, 

Stan Sismey and 

many more. 

In a distinguished first 

grade career with the 

Tigers, Morgan bagged 

over first grade 

wickets and compiled 

nearly 3000 runs, proving 

himself to be an 

oustanding all rounder 

who contributed very 

well to the team. 

es previously played 

five seasons of first 

grade with the Western 

Suburbs club from 

1937-38 where he 

racked up runs 

and captured 176 

wickets plus another 

runs and wickets 

in second grade. 

e took over the almain 

captaincy reins 

from his good friend 

Cliff inning the Tigers 

respected cricket 

historian) and went on 

to also play alongside 

players such as NSW 

reps Bill Donaldson, 

lbert Cheetham, red 

Mair, Reg Pearce, Angus 

MacKinnon, Bill 

unt, red ennett 

and Gordon Cansdell. 

“I had to pinch myself 

to believe it - here 

I was playing with and 

against so many cricketing 

legends, it was 

such a privilege” reflected 

es. 

“With these top 

players involved you 

learned so much about 

your game and the art 

of captaincy.” 

es proudest moment 

was scoring 133 

and grabbing the figures 

of 6-11 and 5-44 

in the Tigers’ outright 

victory over University 

in a first grade fixture at 

irchgrove val back 

on December 21, 1946 

and January 4, 1947. 

Morgan’s dashing ton 

featured 19 boundaries 

in an entertaining 144 

minutes at the crease. 

He combined with 

Cansdell for a third 

wicket partnership 

of 138 in 97 minutes 

Centurion Mosca in 

match-winning stand 

then piled on 126 with 

onaldson in 

minutes for the fourth 

wicket. 

A brilliant piece of 

stumping by University 

keeper ewman off 

Delarue brought about 

es dismissal. 

The Tigers declared 

at 6-342 before Morgan 

- and lefty 

hand bowler Bill Hunt 

- sensationally 

rolled University for 22 

in the first innings. 

ollowing on, niversity 

did a little better 

in their second knock 

but were all out for 73 - 

giving Balmain victory 

by an innings and 247 

runs. 

es finished with 

match figures of - 

to go with his superb 

ton. 

This tremendous 

feat - a century and 10 

wickets in a match - 

has been matched just 

two other times in Sydney 

first grade history 

since 1893 by Charlie 

Kelleway and Grant 

ambert. 

“It was my highest 

ever first grade score 

and I hit the ball well 

that day, recalled es. 

“We then dismissed 

University for their lowest 

ever first grade total. 

With the ball I was 

able to 

land it in the right 

spot. Billy Hunt and I 

really feasted on wickets 

that day,” he revealed. 

After retiring from 

cricket, es became an 

accomplished golfer 

and pioneer with Massey 

ark olf Club at 

Concord. 

A life member and 

active stalwart until his 

early s, es founded 

the Club’s Veterans 

competition and his 

name is perpetuated 

with the . organ 

Shield trophy for the 

Best Net score by golfers 

in B and C Grade 

on a nominated medal 

day. 

SYDNEY Cricket Club’s strong team ethics shone like a beacon after conuring 

up yet another inspirational triumph in the 2017-18 NSW Premier 

ricket first grade competition last weekend at rummoyne val. 

Talented colts Anthony 

Mosca and keeper 

Beau McClintock provided 

the batting heroics 

in a rollicing e

capable cClintock who 

thumped seven boundaries 

in a successful 

rescue mission that delivered 

six crucial competition 

points. 

The previous day Sydney 

spin twins Ben Manenti 

and Nathan Sowter 

weaved their magic with 

the ball to help roll the ions

Twenty year old off

performances for the Tigers. 

Sowter, who recently

has proved a revelation 

since returning home to 

Drummoyne this summer.
