Granny Smith was joined by City of Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale and a jolly green giant Granny Smith apple and helped students plant apple trees in the school garden. The City of Ryde has now donated 10 Granny Smith trees to local schools to celebrate the 150th anniversary celebrations of the first crop of Granny Smith Apples planted in an Eastwood orchid by Maria Ann Smith, who had emigrated from Beckley, East Sussex in 1839 with her husband Thomas. To celebrate the anniversary, more than 90,000 people are expected to descend on Eastwood to take part in the Festival, which is one of Sydney’s largest street festivals. Mayor Laxale said the Granny Smith Festival is synonymous with the City of Ryde and the school visits serve an important role to involve students in the celebrations and teach them about an important piece of community history. “This year’s Granny Smith Festival promises to be bigger than ever with something to cater for everyone as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Granny Smith apple,” he said. “We are so lucky to have the Granny Smith Festival here in the City of Ryde because it allows us to come together and celebrate with THE WEEKLY TIMES AUTO DIRECTORY KEN MORROW SMASH REPAIRS Established 1978 Quality Work Guaranteed All Fleet & Insurance Work Paintless Baking Oven Dent • Auto Repairs Robot Ph: 9807 6487 42 Buffalo Road Gladesville R & L AUTOMOTIVE 292 VICTORIA RD, GLADESVILLE Cnr Gerard St (Opp KFC) PH: 9879 6042 • All mechanical repairs, maintenance & service to all makes and models, including new vehicles under Manufacturers Warranty • Power steering services • EFI Servicing • Air Con Servicing • Brakes & Clutches • Tune Ups REGO INSPECTIONS WHILE YOU WAIT.

Unity building event open to Ryde’s spiritual community PEOPLE from all religious faiths and spiritual beliefs will be invited to an official, civic “unity building” event under an experiment be trialed by the City of Ryde. Councillors voted on Tuesday night to endorse the trial event which is expected to be hosted by Mayor Jerome Laxale along the lines of the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast, which has been a predominantly Christian event. The councillors’ decision follows speeches at last Tuesday night’s council meeting from members of the Bahai Faith, who hope the event will promote friendship between people of different religions. “All people are created by God and Australia is a rich multicultural county,” Bahai member Sara Ahadizadeh said. “All the inter faith groups understand that peaceful coexistence means the end of conflicts. “For the purpose of unity and tolerance we can work together and make friends and become aware of our high standards and values.” Her colleague Gil Tabucananon took up the theme. “Ryde embraces diversity and multiculturalism and I hope the prayer breakfast is expanded beyond Christianity to include all world faiths because we have a lot to learn from each other,” he said. The inter faith event concept is supported by Clr Roy Maggio (Ind) and Clr Trenton Brown (Lib). “I’m delighted that Councillor Maggio is here to help spend the Mayoral allowance but this (concept) is a beautiful thing and I’m delighted to offer my support,” Clr Brown said. Liberal leader Clr Sarkis Yedelian OAM wants to see more than a token gesture. “Just creating a morning tea is lip service,” he said. “Let us bring the Bahai and other groups to our Harmony Committee functions as well.” The councillors carefully chose to invite people with “spiritual beliefs” as not all Ryde residents identify with a mainstream religious affiliation.
