Sailing program
for youth
Wright of Passage program
offers an opportunity for youth
who have disengaged from
school to take an alternate
pathway to their future.
The program is fully funded
and includes a TAFE course
to undertake Certificate 2 in
Boating Services (which can
also be used to lead into other
Trade Apprenticeships) at
Meadowbank TAFE as well as
the opportunity for hands on
experience, under the guidance
of experienced tradesmen
and mentors at Woolwich
Dock.
The program came about
after a wooden yacht was donated
to Sailors with disAbilities
in 2017 and although the
yacht is principally sound it will
be restored to its former glory
by the participants.
Once restored the Program
includes the opportunity for
the youth to learn how to sail
and they will then sail their
yacht to Hobart from Sydney,
again under the guidance of
experienced sailors and mentors.
This program is aimed at
youth aged 16 years and over
who have found that traditional
schooling isn’t for them.
Despite the name of the organisation,
this program is not
aimed at the disabled.
Founder of Sailors with dis-
Abilities David Pescud, himself
has profound dyslexia,
and left school aged 15.
To this day he still has diculty
with reading and writing,
however he was successful in
his career and able to retire in
his mid 40s, with plans to sail
around the world. However
after reading a newspaper article
about a group of disabled
sailors who wanted to sail in
the Sydney to Hobart Yacht
Race, David took up the challenge,
and shortly after the organisation
was formed.
That all happened over 20
years ago. David’s dyslexia
has provided him with first
hand experience of the angst
that many youth experience.
He understands the diculty
of fitting in as a teen, the
feelings of hopelessness and
even homelessness, and now
at age 70 he works every day
to help people find their way.
For David it is very important
that the Wright of Passage
Program succeeds, as there
are too many young people
out there experiencing hardship
and the program is all
about building optimism, providing
hope and direction.
The program is due to commence
on February 5. For
more information contact
0421 725 170 or email info@

to take copies of your photos!
On Saturday February 17

Dear Sir
Thank you for providing
this opportunity to express
my views on the
issue of the Australia
Day issue.
As an elected Councillor,
I am here to reflect the
wishes of the local residents
and I have received
no requests to alter the
current form of festivities
on Australia Day from my
local constituents.
However, many residents
have contacted me expressing
concerns of
massive over development,
the loss of their
parks, their deep concern
at the number of
trees to be felled and
requests to protect heritage
and to establish an
early history of the area
including a monument to
the Aboriginal leaders.
These are issues that I
have, or am currently,
seeking to action.
I would welcome meeting
with the local Aboriginal
community.
I believe in Ryde there is
a solid base of respect,
understanding and empathy
for the Aboriginal
peoples and I would
like to discuss what can
be achieved at Council
level to further assist,
including creating roles
for local cultural officers,
Indigenous rangers and
educators of Aboriginal
history.
In my experience, open
and frank communication
in situations where
people are free to express
their grievances,
and the difficulties and
complexities of a situation
can be addressed,
can result in long lasting
solutions.
I would be working towards
building a cohesive,
inclusive Ryde that
celebrates the many different
cultures and histories
that make it is such
a rich and diverse area to
live.
EDWINA CLIFTON
Councillor, City of Ryde
Dear Sir,
It's great that TWT is
hosting a discussion
about Australia Day.
I agree with Anthony Roberts
MP (TWT 24 Jan) that
we are a mature nation
that can both celebrate
the arrival of Europeans
in 1788 and acknowledge
the loss suffered by Aboriginal
people.
When I did Australian history
at school, ages ago,
we learned a lot about
the hardship and isolation
faced by the European
settlers and the great
achievements that they
made.
But it is only fairly recently
that I've learned more
about the downside of
that success.
After careful research one
historian has conservatively
estimated that between
1790 and 1928
deaths across Australia
numbered 2,000 - 2,500
for Europeans and 20,000
for Aborigines.
I believe this requires
acknowledgement, while
we also celebrate Australia's
multicultural
achievements.
Can we do both on Australia
Day?
Welcome to 2018!
I trust everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing break over the
holiday season. We were blessed with lots of warm days, so I
hope you got to make the most of the sunshine before heading
back to work or study.
I would also like to wish Bennelong a very Happy Australia
Day! The day provided a wonderful opportunity for our vibrant,
multicultural community to come together and celebrate
everything that makes Australia the greatest country in the
world. I hope you had a chance to get out to some of the
fantastic local celebratory events – I spent the day welcoming
new citizens with Ryde Council, which is always a highlight.
Of course, since I last wrote one of these updates, we’ve
had a by-election in Bennelong. Firstly, can I again apologise
for putting everyone through the chaos of this time. It was a
spirited campaign, but it was a real honour to again receive your
support to represent this great electorate. It is a great privilege
to serve Bennelong, and I look forward to continuing to do so
for many years to come.
As always, feel free to get in touch with my office if there is any
way that I can be of service.

Dear Sir,
We are wondering if
you could help us spread
the word about this fantastic
FREE opportunity
that our NFP Charity has
aailale for oth
The “Wright of Passage”
program offers an opportunity
for youth who have
disengaged from school
to take an alternate pathway
to their future.
The program is fully
funded (free!) and includes
a TAFE course to undertake
Certificate 2 in Boating
Services (which can
also be used to lead into
other Trade Apprenticeships)
at Meadowbank
Tafe as well as the opportunity
for hands on experience,
under the guidance
of experienced tradesmen
and mentors at Woolwich
Dock.
The program came
about after a wooden
yacht was donated to
Sailors with disAbilities
in 2017 and although the
yacht is principally sound
it will be restored to its
former glory by the participants.
Once restored the Program
includes the opportunity
for the youth to
learn how to sail and they
will then sail their yacht
to Hobart from Sydney,
again under the guidance
of experienced sailors and
mentors.
This program is aimed
at youth aged 16 years
and over who have found
that traditional schooling
isn't for them. Despite the
name of our organisation,
this program is not aimed
at the disabled. Founder
of Sailors with disAbilities
David Pescud, himself has
profound dyslexia, and left
school age 15.
To this day he still has
diculty with reading and
writing, however he was
successful in his career
and able to retire in his
mid 40s, with plans to sail
around the world. However
after reading a newspaper
article about a group
of disabled sailors who
wanted to sail in the Sydney
to Hobart Yacht Race,
David took up the challenge,
and shortly after the
organisation was formed.
That all happened over
20 years ago.
David's dyslexia has provided
him with first hand
experience of the angst
that many youth experience,
he understands the
diculty of fitting in as a
teen, the feelings of hopelessness
and even homelessness,
and now at age
70 he works every day to
help people find their way.
For David it is very important
that the “Wright of
Passage” Program succeeds,
as there are too
many young people out
there experiencing hardship
and the program is all
about building optimism,
providing hope and direction.
There isn't much in this
world that is free these
days, and how often will
you come by a free trip to
Tasmania as well!
The program is due to
commence on February 5.

POSTSCRIPT: Did Governor
Arthur Phillip really
first land in Sydney on
January 26, 1788 or was
it really January 21. I was
recently at Camp Cove
and came across this
monument.
Wattl e D ay an
al ternativ e
Dear Sir,
Australia Day on January
26 prompts anger
a isharmo he
oermet sas it is a
a that ifies the ation,
but this clearly is
ot the ase
Grassroots calls for
change, mean the date is
destined no longer to be
a focus of unity.
Research now shows
that most Australians (57
percent) think it doesn’t
matter if the date is
changed. We need desperately
to think our way
through the problem.
And there is a way.
But first some facts.
A celebration on January
26 began in 1818, on
the initiative of Governor
Macquarie, to mark the
30 th anniversary of the
arrival of the First Fleet in
Sydney harbour. The day
became known as Foundation
Day.
It was not until 1938,
the 150 th anniversary,
that it took on a broader
focus. But it was not
until 1994 that all states
and territories agreed to
standardise the celebration
as a public holiday
on January 26, instead of
it being held on the nearest
Monday.
Aboriginal people object
to the celebration
of the events of January
26 and many cannot celebrate
a day that is the
anniversary of an invasion.
That was the strong
message in the major
Aboriginal protest
marches that accompanied
the 1938 and 1988
celebrations.
Today very many non-
Aboriginal Australians
are sensitive to that message
- a clear indicator of
the progress the Australian
community is making
in our shared journey of
Reconciliation.
Australia Day is not set
in stone, we have adapted
it as we have thought
appropriate. It seems
that we need think about
it again. But how do we
go forward from here?
Another fact is that
Australia has another
ocially gazetted day
of national celebration:
National Wattle Day, that
was proclaimed in 1992
as a national day across
all Australian states and
territories.
This followed the proclamation
of Golden Wattle
as Australia’s national
oral emblem in 1988.
The fact that we already
have two days
focussed on celebrating
Australia, the land and
its people, means that
there is scope to grow
and evolve our national
celebrations.
An initial step would be
for the federal government
to better promote
National Wattle Day to
raise awareness that our
celebrations of national
identity and achievement
are not focussed solely
around January 26.
Increased awareness
and focus on National
Wattle Day would enable
September 1 (the first
day of spring) to be more
widely known as a day of
national celebration and
constructively diffuse
some of the anger and
disharmony that occurs
now with celebrations on
January 26.
In this way National
Wattle Day would not
compete with Australia
Day, but rather complete
Australia Day.
As a further step, we
could ocially bracket
the two days as designated
dates for celebrating
our great fortune in
being citizens of this
land.
Given the growing unease
around basing national
celebrations on
a day that will always
be a source of pain and
sadness for many in the
community, government
could propose that the
community think about
how best to create celebrations
on each of the
two days.
Such a process could
be undertaken over a
period of say three to
five years, during which
the Australian community
would be directly involved
in the shaping of
those celebrations.
At the end of the designated
period, government
could settle on
arrangements for celebrating
each of the days
in the manner that best
reects our aspirations
as a people.
As it has always done,
wattle can lead us to
think our way through to
an Australia Day for all of
us to celebrate the magnificence
of this land and
the achievements of all
its people.

The rescission motion
at last month’s council
meeting - put by the Ryde
Liberals and backed
by Independent Clr Roy
Maggio - called for the
policy to be scrapped
until the council had received
financial assurances
that investments
would not nosedive as a
result of it.
The defeated motion
also sparked debate
on the reality of climate
change with Liberal Clr
Chris Moujalli warning
Ryde not to vilify fossil
fuel energy.
“We do not want to go
down the path of South
Australia, where they
have an alternative energy
policy and power
cuts,” he said.

“Our country was built

The Greens Clr Edwina
Clifton strongly disagreed.
“Our top priority must
be to adapt to the inevitable
reality of climate
change and the burning
of fossil fuels is what is
causing climate change ..
to say mining is keeping
the economy going is a
fallacy.”
For Liberal Trenton
Brown the debate was
not about ideology but
economics.
“Like every one dollar
coin you have heads and
tails, return and risk and
we no little about the risk
of this policy,” he said.

we simply want a report.”
Councillor Maggio said
the council had no right
to adopt the policy with a
risk assessment.
“This council has no
mandate to invest $200
million in ratepayer’s
money without a report to
say this policy is beneficial
and our staff support
it, because our ratepayers
pay high rates and deserve
better.”
Mayor Laxale said
council staff will provide
monthly reports and that
he is “comfortable” with
the system of financial
checks and balances in
place.
Liberal Clr Jordan Lane
said a staff report falls
short of a detailed risk assessment
into investing
in so called “environmentally
correct” institutions.
“This Rescission Motion
is standing between
ratepayer’s money and
a possible financial train
wreck,” Clr Lane said.
“Are we going to invest
$200 million in something
that is not secure?”
It would not be the first
time the City of Ryde has
been stung by investment
losses with the council
losing around three million
dollars during the recent
world financial crisis,
although staff assured
councillors the council is
continuing to recover past
losses.
Councillor Penny Pedersen
assured councillors
that the new investment
policy “hardly puts Ryde
at risk” and that major
European institutions and
other Sydney councils are
leading the way in divesting
money into alternative
energy safe portfolios.

Concord scouts stalwart praises
scoutings values, contributions
THERE will always be a need for the values of scouting and the
contribution scouts make to the community, said Australia Day
award winner Bob Baker OAM of Concord.
Mr Baker has served as
Honorary Commissioner
and was Chief Director of
the 22nd Australian Jamboree
from 2006-2011 and
a Deputy Chief Commissioner.
He also holds Scouts
Australia’s Silver Kangaroo
Award, presented to him in
2008.
“I’m very proud of what
scouts have achieved and
my hope for the future is
that the Scouts will adapt
and modify to meet community
standards without
losing our core values and
our identity,” he said.
“I believe one of the
strong things about scouting
is about scouts looking
after themselves, learning
skills and looking after one
another.
“I’m proud of the team
work in scouts; a scout
patrol is a team of six and
the leaders lead by example.”
Mr Baker was closely involved
in the recent Centenary
of World Scouting.
“There have been many
highlights but the Centenary
of World Scouting
was a special highlight
and we had 100 canoes

Bashir in 2008.
“Because of the size and
number of scouts involved
this was certainly a highlight
for me.”
Although large events
such as jamborees feature
strongly in Mr Baker’s careeer
there are small but
significant moments he
cherishes.
“Some of my proudest
moments are when I’m invited
to a wedding of one
bution of private patients.
“Millions of taxpayer
dollars are put into football
stadiums and entertainment
venues and
my hope and my prayer
is that governments will
support us and that the
financial burden so many
people worry about will
be alleviated.”
Donations are excepted
with deep appreciation.
“We recently raised
five million dollars in five
months with no burden on
the taxpayer .. a tremendous
achievement” she
said.
“My other hope and
prayer is that we will have
Chris O’Brien Lifehouses
in every part of the state
and in every part of the
country.”
An integral part of Chris
O’Brien’s vision was that
this place of care, compassion
and hope should
be accessible to all Australians,
regardless of
means.
“The whole idea of holistic
care for all developed
through Chris’ illness,”
Gail O’Brien said.
“Cancer is not an easy
journey and not everyone
will survive it but hope is
such an important part of
the journey.”
Gail O’Brien has devoted
her life to the Chris
O’Brien Lifehouse and
works an astounding
amount of hours there
each week.
“When I get home I
love walking with my dog

very special place.”

“I’m also proud of the
way multiculturalism has
worked out so well for us
because scouts look after
one another.
“It is respect for one another
and acceptance of

awarded for his role as
President of Sydney Kart

and as an Active Member
since 1986.

Hunters Hill’s Dr Sakuko
Matsui has dedicated most
of her life to teaching and
promoting Japanese literature,
language and culture
and is one of the University
of Sydney’s most respected
and admired academics.
Dr Matsui spoke to The
Weekly Times about her
love affair with Japanese literature,
her love of the University
Of Sydney and her
love for her home in Passey
Avenue, Hunters Hill.
“I grew up in Kobe, Japan,
during the war and
when I came here I fell in
love with Australia, with this
university and with Hunters
Hill where I’ve since the
early 1960’s,” she said.
“Hunters Hill is so beautiful
and leafy and I’m told
that you have to live in
Hunters Hill for at least 30
years to become a local
and I love it as much as I
did on the first day I came
there.
“I’m also very privileged
to work at this magnificent,
beautiful university, so I
consider myself very lucky
indeed.”
“The sudents are the most
important people in my
working life.
“I was really lucky to have
very good students in the
early years of my career
when classes were so small
and when we could teach
what we wanted to teach.
“I am very proud of what
our Japanese Studies produced...
academics, diplomats,
business people, artists
or scholars of fine art.
“I am sure some of my
former students recommended
me for what I have
received from the Japanese
and Australian Governments.
“The former Australian
Ambassador to Japan,
Bruce Miller, and some other
younger diplomats, Hugh
Clarke, Professor Emeritus
of Japanese of Sydney and
Leith Morton, Professor
Emeritus of Tokyo University
of Technology, and other
academics are the people I
feel indebted.”
With so much traditional
Japanese literature devoted
to love stories, bravery and
a deep humanity it comes
as no surprise that Dr Matsui
has a profound love for
it, too.
“The Edo Period literature,
especially, is very personal
and not at all political
and it is the same with Japanese
artists of the same
period. It is a highly symbolic
art form.”
“I’ve also taught Noh
plays, which I adore and
I’ve helped Sydney theatre
producers to produce the
plays of Mishima.
“I’ve even translated a
traditional Japanese puppet
show into English.”
oess
One of her recent translations
is Tanizaki Jun’ichiro’s
classic “A Cat Shozo And
Two Women”; a delightful
tale that will enchant young
and old readers alike.
It is not easy to find
Japanese Literature that
will appeal to today’s students,
many of whom have
not even read literature
from their own culture,” Dr
Matsui admits.
“So when I teach I treat
each student as an individual
and work to inspire
a love of literature.”
A wonderful storyteller
in her own right, Dr Matsui
was recently awarded
the acclaimed Order of the
Sacred Treasure with Gold
and Silver Rays from the
Government of Japan and
tells the story behind this
unique medal.
“Set at the heart of this
medal is a tiny, tiny fragment
of a mirror, which is
one of the Imperial Treasurers
of Japan and which
legend says is a piece from
a mirror associated with
the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu.
“The legend says that
one day the Sun Goddess
hid herself in the Ama-no-
Iwato (heavenly rock cave)
and the world went dark.
“To coax her out (from the
cave) a mirror was held up
to the entry of the cave and
when she saw her reection
in the mirror she came
out of the cave to look
more closely, wondering
who this beautiful new sun
goddess was.”
Such is the vanity of
even divine women but
Japanese tales about
beautiful women emerging
from darkness into light
could well be a metaphor
for Dr Matsui’s own journey
from the dark days of
wartime Japan to what she
describes as “the beautiful
life of beautiful people” in
Australia.
“Because of my childhood
in Japan I have ambivalent
feelings about Japan,”
she said
“But I was fortunate to
be one of the few women
of my generation to study
at university, one of only
point three of a per cent of
women then.”
“I like Australian people
very, very much although
many of my first friends
here at university were
English, mostly Cambridge
men.”
Will Dr Matsui write her
own novel ?
“A couple of people tell
me I should write my memoirs,
although I’m certainly
not a novelist or a poet !”
Our discussion turned to
literary links between Edwardian
Hunters Hill and
classical Japan and to the
love of a good ghost story
which abounds in both cultures.
“If I should ever meet a
ghost here, it wouldn’t surprise
me !” Dr Matsui said.
This Hunters Hill resident
is known to many students
in her role as Lecturer, Senior
Lecturer and Associate
Professor, Japanese Language
and Literature Studies
from 1961 until 2001.
She is also designated as
a Japanese person transmitting
Japan to the world
by the National Policy Unit
of the Government of Japan.

AUSTRALIA DAY HONOURS
Golden Girl Betty earns highest accolade
- Companion of Order of Australia (AC)
AUSTRALIA’S golden girl of athletics Betty Cuthbert heads an impressive batch of local
recipients in the Australia Day 2018 Honours List.
The Ermington ash,
who died last year aged
79, was made a Companion
of the Order of
Australia - a posthumous
accolade for eminent
service to the sport
of athletics as a fourfold
Olympic champion and
as a role model, fundraiser
andadvocatefor
research into a cure for
multiple sclerosis.
Cuthbert’s story will
continue to inspire Australian
athletes for generations
to come.
She attended Ermington
Public School as a
youngster and went on
to taste Olympic glory
and become one of the
greatest sprinters of all
time.
The legendary Cuthbert
remains the only
athlete in history to win
Olympic gold in the
100m, 200m and 400m
events.
Raised in Ermington,
she first sprinted into
the nation’s hearts as a
fresh faced 18-year-old
at the 1956 Melbourne
Olympic Games, where
she set an Olympic
record in the 100m
and a world record in
the 200m to win both
events.
The teen sensation
claimed a third gold
medal running the final
leg in the 4x100m relay,
again in a world record
time.
At the Melbourne
Olympics, Cuthbert
won every sprint medal
available to women and
was the first Australian
to win three gold medals
at one Games, earning
her the nickname of
Australia’s “golden girl”.
Injury would rob her of
the chance to defend
her titles at the 1960
Rome Games but she
returned at Tokyo in
1964 to win her fourth
gold medal, this time in
the 400m which was to
be the final race of her
career.
Cuthbert was appointed
a Member of
the Order of the British
Empire (MBE) in 1965;
was inducted into the
Sport Australia Hall of
Honours for sporting legends Gould and Clark
OLYMPIC swimming champion Shane Gould
has reeie a for her sigifiat serie
to swimming and to water safety programs in
developing countries.
Gould gained international
stardom as a 15
year old at the 1972 Munich
Olympics when she
won three gold medals
and set world records in
the 200m freestyle, 200m
individual medley and
400m freestyle while under
the coaching of Forbes
and Ursula Carlile at Ryde
Swimming Pool.
She also grabbed a silver
Fame in 1994; named
an Australian National
Treasure in 1998 and
entered the Athletics
Australia Hall of Fame
in 2000.
She was also the first
Australian inducted into
the International Association
of Athletics Federations
Hall of Fame
when it was founded
in 2012, alongside legends
such as Jesse
Owens and Carl Lewis.
In 1969 she discovered
she had multiple
sclerosis and would
battle the condition
for the rest of her life.
In 2000, she was one
of the final bearers to
hand the Olympic torch
to Cathy Freeman before
she lit the ame at
the Sydney Games.
medal in the 800m freestyle
and a bronze medal
in the 100m freestyle.
Gould simultaneously
held all freestyle world
records from 100 to 1500
metres from December
12, 1971 to September
1, 1972 - an incredible
achievement for one so
young.
FORMER Gladesville
resident and Australian
womens cricket captain
Belinda Clark was named
an Ocer of the Order of
Australia (AO) for distinguished
service to cricket.
Clark, who was inducted
into the ICC Cricket Hall of
Fame in 1997, led Australia
to two World Cup triumphs
in 1997 and 2005 and was
the first and only person
to score a double century
(229 not out) in a women’s
one day international.
A prolific scoring batsman,
Clark played 15
Tests, 118 ODIs and one
Twenty20 for Australia,
averaging more than 45
in the Test and one-day
arena, and is Australia’s
leading run scorer in the
50-over game.

Bobo on track to break goal-scoring record
BRAZILIAN striker Bobo (pictured) scored twice in Sydney
FC’s 3-1 Australia Day demolition of Melbourne Victory
, setting a club goal-scoring record along the way.
The Sky Blues improved
their season tally to 42 goals
in 18 games with a comefrom-behind
3-1 win away
to Melbourne Victory in last
Friday night’s ‘Big Blue’.
Sydney FC Head Coach
Graham Arnold regards his
star-studded attack as the
most lethal combination the
Hyundai A-League has ever
seen.
”The front four I believe is
probably the greatest front
line in A-League history,” Arnold
said at his post-match
press conference.
”We know we can score
goals and damage teams
with our quality.
”When we play to structure
and focus more on the football
rather than battle and
the fight, and we get some
uency, we are such a special
team.”
Bobo’s brace took his tally
to 18 for the season to surpass
ex-Sky Blues hitman
Marc Janko’s previous record
of 16 goals in a single
campaign.
The 33-year-old former
Besiktas and Gremio striker
has thrived playing for the
side proving to be one of the
most dominant in Hyundai
A-League history and
appears a certainty to finish
with this season’s golden
boot.
He is on top of the goalscoring
charts by four goals,
ahead of Melbourne City’s
Ross McCormack, who is
now back in the UK with his
Hyundai A-League future
uncertain.
Bobo’s is 10 goals clear of
the rest of the chasing pack
(Berisha, Mierzejewski, Nabbout,
Kaludjerovic – all on
eight goals).
The big question now is
whether he can beat the
Hyundai A-League record
of goals in a regular season,
which is 25 by City’s Uruguayan
star Bruno Fornaroli.
Bobo needs eight goals
from the remaining nine A-
League games to claim the
record.
He gets another chance
to add to his tally on Friday
night when Sydney FC host
lowly Wellington Phoenix, a
team he scored a hat-trick
against when they met earlier
this season.
Sydney FC are promoting
a “Mates Night Out” with a
special promotional price of
$40 for two adult tickets.

Sporties’ heartfelt tribute to lawn
bowls champ Stella McFarlane
GLADESVILLE Sporties are mourning the death of champion lawn bowler Stella
McFarlane.
Stella - one of Gladesville
Womens Bowling
Club’s accomplished stalwarts
- died a premature
death from breast cancer
after receiving ongoing
treatment over the past
five years which she endured
with great courage
and hope.
A large contingent of
Gladesville WBC members
participated in the
farewell to their friend and
esteemed member at her
funeral on January 24.
Stella was a lifelong
friend of current Gladesville
WBC president Lynette
Macdonald, having
grown up together in
Boronia Park where they
went to primary school
and then moved on to
Hunters Hill High School.
Both shared many sporting
activities over their
lives including Physical
Culture, netball, touch
football and soccer and
then moving on to play
competitive bowls at
Gladesville.
During her time at
Gladesville WBC, Stella
was a winning member
of the Pairs, Triples and
Fours competitions and
late last year clinched the
Minor Singles Championship
- despite undergoing
chemotherapy treatment
at the time and playing in
a force 10 gale and in chilling
temperatures.
During 2017 she was
also presented with a Merit
Pin from Women’s Bowls
NSW in recognition of her
services to Gladesville
Womens Bowling Club.
Stella held the position
of Secretary until mid 2017
before taking up the role of
treasurer and according to
Gladesville WBC stalwart
Jill Forster was an inspiration
to all.
Ever obliging, Stella fulfilled
these positions with
energy and competence
but also coupled with a
joyful sense of humour.
Gladesville Women
bowlers formed a Guard
of Honour for Stella at her
funeral and at her request
wore “something pink”.
“More than three hundred
people attended the
funeral at Macquarie Park
representing local organisations
in which she had
participated, not only in
a sporting arena but in
memorable concerts and
reviews over the yearsleaving
wonderful memories
for her friends and
family,” reected Jill.
Stella touched many
people with her bright and
happy personality and was
a loyal friend to all of those
she loved and cared for.
“Our thoughts are with
Stella’s family and friends.
Rest in Peace Stella.”

a variety of festivities
including live music,
delicious food, games
and activities for all ages,
and a night under the
stars.
Relay For Life is the
world’s largest movement
against cancer and
hosted in 26 countries.
Sydney Relay offers the
community the chance
to join forces in support
of everyone affected by
cancer, have fun at a
community festival for
a great cause, and raise
vital funds for Cancer
Council NSW.
Rashmi Naran, Community
Relations Coordinator
at Cancer Council
NSW said Sydney Relay
is for everyone, whether
you have been touched
by cancer or not. Teams
walk or run to fundraise
and beat cancer but the
event is also open to
the whole community to
come down and enjoy
all the live entertainment
and activities. It’s about
taking something really
serious that affects too
many of us and doing
something about it in a
fun way so we can work
towards a better future
for all.”
In the last five years the
community has raised
more than $5,000 and in
2018 we are hoping to
raise another $120,000,”
added Mrs Naran.
All funds raised through
Sydney Relay For Life
will go towards Cancer
Council NSW’s research,
prevention, and support
programs.

Barton bags 7-71 to
tame Tigers in thriller
ENGLAND’S quest to rebuild its fast bowling stocks for futre
shes est amaigs has earthe a fie roset i
the remier riet first grae ras
Twenty two year old Sussex
left arm quick Adam
Barton (pictured) has
proven he could develop
into a first class paceman
of the highest calibre with
impressive performances
in County cricket and
since arriving to play with
the North Sydney club in
the Sydney grade competition.
Last Saturday at North
Sydney Oval the English
recruit produced a match
winning wicket haul to orchestrate
a dramatic nine
run first innings victory over
fifth placed Sydney.
Barton bagged the superb
figures of 7-71 off 20 overs
to sink the Tigers, who were
cruising at 3-236 at one
stage in pursuit of the home
side’s tally of 332.
Sydney trio Justin Mosca
(83 runs off 163 balls), skipper
Harry Dalton (66 off 119
balls) and Matthew Rodgers
(56 off 98 balls) chalked up
half centuries but all to no
avail as the Sussex speedster
ripped the heart of the
Tigers’ batting line up with a
devastating afternoon bowling
spell.
Mosca and Rodgers gave
the Tigers a rollicking start
with an opening stand of
108 and when both departed
along with number three
Tristen McDonald (19) the
visitors were still well placed
at 3-197.
Last match centurion Anthony
Mosca was Barton’s
first scalp when caught behind
by keeper James Newton
for 20 runs.
Barton then turned the
match with his left arm
seamers to remove key
Sydney batsmen Beau Mc-
Clintock and Ben Manenti
for ducks and all rounder
Nathan Sowter for 1 with
244 runs on the board.
When Dalton was caught
by Anjan Oberai off Barton
for a well compiled 66
the Tigers had slumped to
8-266 and were staring at
defeat.
Sydney rallied with Nic
Bills (23 not out) and Ryan
Felsch (19) carrying the
score to 306 before Felsch
was dismissed by the Englishman
after cracking two
boundaries and a six in a
cameo knock.
A revved up Burton sealed
victory in a thrilling finale
when he bowled tailender
Tom Ortiz for a gutsy 14 to
claim his seventh scalp.

an eventful season for
the Saints who are celebrating
the 60th anniversary

Club President Michael
Masulans is rightfully
proud of the club’s
history.
“I’ve been involved
with this club for 20
years now, and one of
the best things about
it is that some of the
founding members from
60 years ago are also
still involved,” he said.
“It shows how important
the club is to the local

as netball. The club has
come a long way in 60
years and I, along with
the rest of our committee
and members, are
looking forward to celebrating
this milestone,”
Michael added.
The season will end
with a huge Presentation
Day/evening at T.G
Millner Field with plans
for a fireworks display
to finish the year with a
bang.
Prior to that the annual
Back To Eastwood

The club’s cricketing
contingent are ready
to display their batting,

their 60th anniversary
Back To Eastwood Day
celebrations.
Last season the club
boasted over 550 soccer

included four girls/womens
teams as well as
over 200 netball players.
The Saints are hoping

“Pink Stumps Day provides
an opportunity for
our local community to
participate in the spirit,
energy and international
phenomenon of the Pink

“By bringing the magic
home it raises vital funds
to make life for families
experiencing breast cancer
just that little bit easier,”
he said.
“It is a great day out to
