Being a crap housewife is<br />
a badge Jessica Rowe AM<br />

with every day.<br />
In this fabulous, funny,<br />
down-to-earth book, Jessica<br />

her talent (or lack thereof)<br />
for cooking; about what’s really<br />
important when it comes<br />
to mothering and family and<br />
about her many and varied<br />
views, musings and common-sense<br />
advice on other<br />
craphousewife matters.<br />
A mum of two small<br />
girls,Jessica is passionate<br />
about advocating for better<br />
mental health awareness and<br />
support for new mums. She<br />
is a notorious over-sharer,<br />
much to her husband’s frequent<br />
horror and her daughters’<br />
embarrassment.<br />

West Ryde Plaza<br />
embellishment<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
West Ryde Plaza is starting<br />
to look amazing, can’t wait to<br />
see the fences come down<br />
and the Plaza open for everyone’s<br />
enjoyment.<br />
Ryde Council you have excelled<br />
yourself, what a terrific<br />
transformation of a rather plain<br />
area.<br />
I used to admire the origami<br />
horse sculptures that were in<br />
the Plaza previously, however, I<br />
understand they were removed<br />
for safety reasons.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y now gallop elegantly<br />
through the grasses at Riding<br />
for the Disabled, Marsfield, a<br />
much more suited location.<br />
Anyone who would like to revisit<br />
these beautiful sculptures<br />
or enquire about volunteering<br />
at RDA are welcome to contact<br />
the Centre on 9868 2223.<br />
All sculptures and new volunteers<br />
gratefully received.<br />

Dear Sir,<br />
In reference to Satya Marar’s<br />
letter <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
<strong>June</strong> 12.<br />
An ad hominem attack of Al<br />
Gore imputing because he lives<br />
in a large mansion, what he says<br />
is invalid (20 rooms?<br />
My tiny flat has 5, my small<br />
house 10!).<br />
Taxpayer funded? Yes let’s get<br />
taxpayers angry.<br />
$320,000 is hardly monumental,<br />
and most probably not<br />
wasted.<br />
Mr Marar’s conclusion on the<br />
Federal election is ridiculous<br />
and overblown ‘pontificating<br />
ideologues’. Mr Marar shows he<br />
is not immune to pontificating.<br />
‘Hardworking taxpayers’, as<br />
a hardworking taxpayer, I do<br />
not agree with Mr Marar’s fallacious<br />
arguments at all – he does<br />
not report or comment on what<br />
Gore actually said.<br />
Mr Marar’s fake arguments<br />
show how difficult it is to get<br />
sense in this debate.<br />

Pete’s gripes about<br />
Macquarie Park<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I don’t necessarily want to<br />
write a letter for others to hear<br />
my negative, however I would<br />
like to see (and I’m sure several<br />
others would be as well)<br />
an article about the state of<br />
Macquarie Park currently and<br />
how bad it is going.<br />
I’m sure the readers would enjoy<br />
a break from Tony I’s opinions<br />
for a bit.<br />
Letters to the Editor<br />
Items such as:<br />
* THE NEW METRO LINE, already<br />
at over capacity both during<br />
and Off-peak hours.<br />
You can almost guarantee you<br />
will be squashed in like a sardine<br />
both on the way to work and<br />
even in the evening.<br />
Most mornings when I catch<br />
the train at Macquarie Uni station,<br />
I need to wait for at least<br />
one or two trains to pass before I<br />
can manage to squash myself in.<br />
* IVANHOE ESTATE Re-development<br />
– Macquarie Park Infrastructure<br />
is already at breaking<br />
point and we want to squash in<br />
thousands of more people<br />
-* IOLOUERA RESERV – <strong>The</strong><br />
park has been without public<br />
lights for over two months now.<br />
I have written three emails to<br />
council, yet to hear a response.<br />
All while the druggies and nohopers<br />
enjoy hanging out and<br />
making trouble for others or leaving<br />
their mess everywhere.<br />
If we are going to get the developers<br />
to contribute to the parks,<br />
at least get a proper job done<br />
and install some lighting that<br />
lasts more than a few months<br />
before it breaks over and over.<br />
* REMOVAL of the concrete<br />
island going up and down Waterloo<br />
Road between Herring Road<br />
and Lyonpark road, obviously a<br />
danger hazard as you see constantly<br />
people crossing the road<br />
instead of going to the traffic<br />
lights – Another accident waiting<br />
to happen.<br />
I’m sure there are several others<br />
your creative minds could<br />
come up with, though this would<br />
be a good start.<br />

Save <strong>The</strong> Great<br />
Australian Bight<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I remember meeting you in<br />
Meadowbank Park, nearly 30<br />
years ago, when I owned a<br />
house in Adelaide Street, Melrose<br />
Park, NSW. Thank you<br />
for your support way back<br />
then, John.<br />
My letter and a petition to<br />
Save the Bight follow:<br />
I lived in Melrose Park for<br />
nearly three decades and now<br />
reside in Adelaide.<br />
I volunteered in Adelaide to<br />
help with the Greens campaign<br />
to get SA Senator Sarah<br />
Hanson-Young re-elected, as<br />
well as to raise the profile of <strong>The</strong><br />
Great Australian Bight.<br />
Sarah’s vote in SA doubled<br />
on May 18. A fantastic result<br />
which means her work, encompassing<br />
climate action in <strong>The</strong><br />
Murray-Darling and <strong>The</strong> Bight<br />
will continue.<br />
We in the Greens, were clearly<br />
disappointed in the overall election<br />
result.<br />
However, the LNP are still not<br />
listening, even to the UN’s dire<br />
warning of an imminent climate<br />
emergency and 1,000,000 species<br />
having been added to the<br />
endangered list.<br />
I have never campaigned for<br />

a political party before; the election<br />
result galvanised me into<br />
beginning a one-woman campaign<br />
by driving up the East<br />
coast in a campervan, to hi-light<br />
the risks of plans to drill for oil<br />
and gas in <strong>The</strong> Bight, by multinational<br />
fossil fuel companies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Great Australian Bight is<br />
a beautiful, pristine, marine environment;<br />
a crucial habitat for<br />
endangered species such as<br />
whales, Blue Whales, Southern<br />
Right Whales, dolphins, sea lions<br />
turtles, a massive variety of<br />
fish species and migratory birds<br />
to name a few.<br />
Risky deepwater drilling will<br />
put all these creatures in peril<br />
due to the effects of sonar and<br />
marine pollution and general<br />
disruption.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wells are proposed for<br />
sites off Ceduna and Port Lincoln,<br />
400kms out in <strong>The</strong> Bight<br />
at a depth of 2kms.<br />
Scientists have shown that<br />
even a minor oil spill would<br />
spread from Albany in WA all<br />
the way across the South Australian<br />
coastline, including Adelaide’s<br />
suburban swimming<br />
beaches, Kangaroo Island,<br />
across <strong>The</strong> Great Ocean Road<br />
in Victoria, the Surf Coast, down<br />
to Tasmania and up the East<br />
coast as well.<br />
<strong>The</strong> oil spill would take years<br />
and years to clean up and the<br />
companies responsible cannot<br />
be relied upon to do that. It<br />
would be an impossibly difficult<br />
task.<br />
Authorities are still cleaning up<br />
after the oil spill in Mexico.<br />
Having travelled through Ouyen,<br />
Balranald, Hay, Narrandera,<br />
Wagga Wagga, Gundagai and<br />
Goulburn last week, calling on<br />
Visitor Centres and Shire Councils,<br />
it became abundantly clear<br />
to me that <strong>The</strong> Bight’s plight is<br />
not being reported beyond the<br />
South Australian and Victorian<br />
borders, where 17 councils are<br />
100 percent against the drilling.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scientific research also<br />
tells us an oil spill will impact<br />
not only our marine creatures<br />
but also our lucrative exports of<br />
seafood, which include crayfish,<br />
prawns and oysters. Naturally<br />
the clean, green image of all our<br />
other exports will likely be irreversibly<br />
tainted too.<br />
<strong>The</strong> overseas importers would<br />
likely turn to New Zealand’s<br />
products and produce and who<br />
could blame them?<br />
In addition, Australia’s Tourism<br />
Industry will be affected all<br />
along the coastal areas, covering<br />
the beaches in filthy, black,<br />
suffocating, toxic sludge. This in<br />
turn will probably mean tourists<br />
will shun the rest of Australia as<br />
well.<br />
Many tourists will know of the<br />
bleaching of <strong>The</strong> Great Barrier<br />
Reef and the Tourism Industry<br />
in Queensland is experiencing a<br />
decline there as result.<br />
Our hitherto beautiful coastline<br />
will be littered with tragic,<br />
dead and dying sea creatures.<br />
I’m encouraging <strong>TWT</strong>’s readers<br />
to visit “Bight2020.com,”<br />
to please sign the petition and<br />
perhaps enquire as to how else<br />
they can help the “Save the<br />
Bight” Campaign.<br />
It’s much more than just a<br />
South Australian issue. It actually<br />
concerns the whole of the<br />
nation. Ecologically, socially and<br />
economically.<br />

Warmth no worry<br />
but cold kills<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
It was ice, not global warming,<br />
that killed and entombed<br />
millions of mammoths and<br />
woolly rhinos in Siberia and<br />
Alaska.<br />
It was unrelenting cold and<br />
then ice, not global warming,<br />
that forced the Vikings out of<br />
Greenland.<br />
It was bitter winters, not heat<br />
waves, that finally defeated the<br />
armies of Napoleon and Hitler<br />
in Russia.<br />
George Washington’s army<br />
also suffered from an unusually<br />
bitter winter at Valley Forge in<br />
1778, in the depths of the Little<br />
Ice Age.<br />
Snowy blizzards periodically<br />
kill more cattle than heatwaves<br />
in Colorado, South Dakota and<br />
Texas.<br />
When the Tambora volcano<br />
exploded in 1816 it spewed<br />
massive volumes of ash and<br />
“greenhouse” gases including<br />
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was no global warming<br />
from the greenhouse gases,<br />
but the heat-blocking ash-filled<br />
atmosphere and a quiet sun<br />
caused “the year without a<br />
summer”.<br />
Failed crops and famine<br />
stalked Europe, Asia and America.<br />
It is icebergs, not warm<br />
oceans, that sink ships like the<br />
Titanic, and spreading sea ice<br />
trapped “<strong>The</strong> Ship of Fools” in<br />
Antarctica.<br />
Every major geological era<br />
has ended with massive volcanism<br />
on land and under the seas.<br />
Molten lava heats the seas<br />
and eruptions on land fill the<br />
atmosphere with dust which<br />
blocks incoming solar energy.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is rapid evaporation from<br />
the warm seas followed by rapid<br />
condensation in the cold dark<br />
atmosphere.<br />
This process dumps massive<br />
snowfalls which become ice<br />
sheets on land, starting a new<br />
ice age and bringing the extinction<br />
of many species.<br />
It is lethal global cooling we<br />
need to fear, not life-sustaining<br />
global warming.<br />

Hunters Hill Guest Column<br />
Why I decided to write<br />
a true story of my life<br />
A FEW months ago,<br />
my book titled Mimi, A<br />
Memoir was published.<br />
It took nine years to<br />
write.<br />
People ask me, Mimi,<br />
why did you decide to<br />
write this book and why<br />
did it take so long?<br />
Well, firstly it wasn’t to<br />
prove that I am a writer.<br />
But I do see myself as<br />
a teller of the truth and<br />
as we all know there<br />
are many kinds of truth<br />
where the recounting of<br />
human relationships is<br />
concerned.<br />
This is my truth.<br />
* * *<br />
UP UNTIL the time<br />
I decided to write my<br />
story, I felt that after<br />
decades battling a<br />
never-ending storm of<br />
untruths and secrecy,<br />
the ship of my life<br />
was being eaten away<br />
and needed to find a<br />
safe harbour and drop<br />
anchor.<br />
Things had remained<br />
unspoken for so long<br />
and our marriage didn’t<br />
exactly exude great<br />
harmony.<br />
My husband, the<br />
brilliantly capable<br />
surgeon and the great<br />
romantic love of my life,<br />
To <strong>The</strong> POINT<br />
with MARGARET SCRIVENER<br />
was also the masterly<br />
architect of so much<br />
deceit and unhappiness<br />
between us and so the<br />
artifice continued.<br />
I knew that if ever I was<br />
to come to peace with<br />
myself, I would have to<br />
not just talk about it, but<br />
put it down in writing,<br />
where the words could<br />
look back at me and<br />
resonate and force me<br />
to answer not just of him<br />
but for both of us.<br />
And I’m not sure that I<br />
have really found those<br />
answers, other than<br />
in the way they will be<br />
drawn out of my story<br />
by others.<br />
* * *<br />
I LEARNED early in<br />
life that the challenges<br />
I met had to be faced<br />
alone and as a very<br />
young nurse at a Sydney<br />
hospital, the assault I<br />
suffered found me alone<br />
with no one to turn to.<br />
However, the biggest<br />
life lesson for me was to<br />
speak up and be heard,<br />
but it took decades<br />
before the era of<br />
significant change took<br />
place and for the me-too<br />
movement to begin in<br />
earnest, helping to erase<br />
the venom of the past<br />
and for women to be<br />
regarded with fairness<br />
This struggle needs to<br />
So many of us avoid<br />
the deep conversations<br />
Even though at the<br />
ultimately only good can<br />

MARGARET SCRIVENER<br />
is a Hunters Hill identity<br />
and long time resident.<br />
Lane Cove council votes to share<br />
local services with Hunters Hill<br />
LANE COVE Council voted unanimously on Monday night to authorise<br />
the general manager to enter into a shared services contract<br />
with Hunters Hill Council.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposed contract<br />
has yet to be endorsed<br />
by Hunters Hill<br />
councillors but follows<br />
preliminary talks between<br />
staff from both<br />
councils.<br />
It is initially expected<br />
to include shared<br />
library services, a<br />
council depot and two<br />
shared staff positions<br />
but could be extended<br />
after further talks.<br />
Lane Cove Mayor<br />
Pam Palmer stressed<br />
that the Monday night<br />
vote is not for a merger<br />
between the two<br />
councils.<br />
“Most importantly, it<br />
is not for cross subsidisation<br />
either,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Nor is it cost shifting<br />
but where it makes<br />
economic sense to do<br />
so, we are prepared to<br />
talk about sharing but<br />
we will have to wait<br />
until Hunters Hill councillors<br />
pass a similar<br />
motion.<br />
“Our vote is just to<br />
endorse our general<br />
manager to enter into<br />
a shared services<br />
agreement and I think<br />
Hunters Hill people will<br />
love this option.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> two shared staff<br />
positions are for a<br />
road safety officer and<br />
a waste control officer.<br />
“We also have a capacity<br />
to relocate a<br />
Hunters Hill depot<br />
here and this means<br />
that Hunters Hill could<br />
re use the land where<br />
it currently has a depot.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> depot we have<br />
in mind is located just<br />
off Burns Bay Road so<br />
it has easy access to<br />
Hunters Hill and facilities<br />
for staff, such as a<br />
lunch room.”<br />
Mayor Palmer revealed<br />
that staff from<br />
both councils have<br />
been talking about<br />
shared waste management<br />
services but not<br />
about parks and garden<br />
services.<br />
At this stage there<br />
is no option for Lane<br />
Cove rangers to work<br />
in Hunters Hill but a<br />
shared library service<br />
is an option that has<br />
been recently advocated<br />
by Hunters Hill<br />
Deputy Mayor Ben<br />
Collins.<br />
Councillor Collins recently<br />
blasted charges<br />
imposed on Hunters<br />
Hill by the City of Ryde<br />
to share a library service<br />
and he believes<br />
a better deal can be<br />
made with Lane Cove.<br />
Mayor Palmer said<br />
a recent survey has<br />
revealed that a significant<br />
number of<br />
Lane Cove library users<br />
have residential<br />
addresses in Hunters<br />
Hill.<br />
“We<br />
analysed<br />
have<br />
how<br />
actually<br />
many of<br />
Mayor Palmer said.<br />
brary<br />
ers<br />
would<br />

It’s official! Flying foxes<br />
have invaded Hunters Hill<br />
HUNTERS HILL councillors have described the recent arrival of a colony<br />
of flying foxes as an “invasion” and declared the nocturnal creatures<br />
have no place in residential streets.<br />
<strong>The</strong> colony recently<br />
moved into Tarban Creek<br />
where the creatures’ characteristic<br />
early morning,<br />
blood curdling shrieks have<br />
made life hell for local residents.<br />
“It sounds like hundreds<br />
of tin whistles being blown<br />
outside your front lawn,<br />
early .. every morning.”<br />
Mayor Mark Bennett lamented.<br />
Councillors voted unanimously<br />
during Tuesday<br />
night’s council meeting to<br />
ask staff to prepare a plan<br />
to move the colony away<br />
from the Tarban Creek<br />
residential area and into a<br />
bushland environment.<br />
Because the animals are<br />
a protected species culling<br />
is out of the question<br />
and the council will need<br />
to adopt a three step plan<br />
of management with each<br />
step approved by the state<br />
government’s Department<br />
of the Environment.<br />
Departmental authorisation<br />
must also be given<br />
for the council to proceed<br />
to each advanced step, in<br />
strict accordance with the<br />
Biodiversity Conservation<br />
Act.<br />
This means that there will<br />
be no immediate or cruel<br />
solution to the flying fox<br />
problem.<br />
“But if we don’t move<br />
with a plan now another<br />
year will pass and this<br />
colony will get bigger and<br />
bigger so we need to get<br />
on with this,” Clr Elizabeth<br />
Krassoi warned.<br />
Just how the council intends<br />
to move the creatures<br />
on - and where - is yet to be<br />
determined but councillors<br />
are determined that something<br />
needs to be done.<br />
“I am not denying that<br />
flying foxes are an important<br />
part of our ecology but<br />
we have a situation where<br />
we are being invaded,” Clr<br />
Ross Williams said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were not here ten<br />
years ago and they are<br />
moving up the valley and<br />
our residents have to put<br />
up with the noise and the<br />
smell.<br />
“And if we let them stay<br />
they will kill all the trees.”<br />
Deputy Mayor Ben Collins<br />
agreed.<br />
“Are we going to accept<br />
that they are here to stay?<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are not suitable for<br />
a residential area and I want<br />
them moved on, as soon as<br />
possible.”<br />
It is widely believed the<br />
flying foxes came to Hunters<br />
Hill from the Royal<br />
Botanic Gardens and<br />
the nearby (haunted) <strong>The</strong><br />
Rocks district in search of<br />
food.<br />
Councillor Krassoi believes<br />
the local community<br />
can live “harmoniously”<br />
with “small numbers” of<br />
flying foxes and residents<br />
who spoke with <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> are strongly against<br />
removal measures that<br />
could harm them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council also received<br />
conservationist advice<br />
that flying fox colony numbers<br />
will fluctuate with the<br />
availability of food and<br />
the change of season but<br />
for now the colony keeps<br />
growing as these creatures<br />
make Hunters Hill their<br />
home.<br />
Forcing the creatures to<br />
merge into the City of Ryde<br />
has been cheekily suggested<br />
as a local government<br />
option but some Hunters<br />
Hill residents want them<br />
moved much further.<br />
Some residents regard<br />
the creatures as important<br />
and harmless pollen carriers<br />
and say they should be<br />
encouraged to live in a local<br />
bushland setting where<br />
they and their food source<br />
is protected by rangers.<br />
“I watch them swirl<br />
around the homes next to<br />
the historic St Peter Chanel<br />
Catholic Church, at sunset,”<br />
a Woolwich retiree<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are beautiful,<br />

Leading the way in<br />
the field of aesthetically<br />
pleasing orthodontics,<br />
Invisalign is a revolutionary<br />
treatment for teeth<br />
straightening without<br />
the need for painful metal<br />
braces.<br />
According to Dr Sushma<br />
Patel “the biggest<br />
benefit of wearing<br />
Invisalign is that people<br />
won’t even know you’re<br />
straightening your<br />
teeth.”<br />
She explained that “Invisalign<br />
takes a modern<br />
approach to straightening<br />
teeth. We use a<br />
custom-made series of<br />
aligners created to be<br />
as unique as the patient<br />
wearing them. Wearing<br />
the aligners will gradually<br />
and gently shift your<br />
teeth into place, based<br />
on the exact movements<br />
we plan out for<br />
you. <strong>The</strong>re are no metal<br />
brackets to attach and<br />
no wires to tighten. You<br />
simply pop in a new set<br />
of aligners approximately<br />
every two weeks, until<br />
your treatment is complete<br />
and you achieve<br />

the beautiful smile<br />
you’ve always dreamed<br />
of”.<br />
Other advantages of<br />
the Invisalign aligners is<br />
that they’re easy to apply<br />
and remove, and require<br />
minimal cleaning.<br />
<strong>The</strong> comfort provided<br />
by the aligners allows<br />
you to wear them anywhere<br />
from 20 to 22<br />
hours per day.<br />
You can eat all the<br />
foods you love without<br />
worrying about it getting<br />
stuck in them thanks to<br />
the easy removability of<br />
Braces<br />
• Require brackets<br />
and wires<br />
the aligners.<br />
Invisalign is suitable<br />
for both adults and<br />
children. Please book<br />
a free consultation with<br />
Putney Dental Surgery<br />
if you suffer from any<br />
of the following conditions:<br />
• Crowded Teeth -<br />
when you don’t have<br />
enough room in your<br />
jaw for your teeth to fit<br />
normally, your teeth can<br />
bunch up, overlap and<br />
twist, sometimes getting<br />
pushed to the front<br />
or the back. Crowded<br />
teeth can make it hard<br />
to brush and floss well,<br />
promoting the build-up<br />
of plaque, tartar, and<br />
harmful bacteria which<br />
can lead to tooth decay<br />
and gum disease.<br />
• Gap teeth - when<br />
you have extra space<br />
between two or more<br />
of your teeth creating<br />
pockets between your<br />
teeth and gums where<br />
food can get stuck. This<br />
can make your gums<br />
tender and sore and<br />
even lead to gum disease.<br />
• Crossbite - when<br />
you close your mouth<br />
and some of your upper<br />
teeth are sitting inside<br />
your lower teeth, rather<br />
than on the outside as<br />
they should be. This can<br />
make your teeth wear<br />
down or chip. It can<br />
also make your gums<br />
start to recede or make<br />
little notches above<br />
your gum line. This kind<br />
of damage can lead to<br />
painful gum problems<br />
or even bone loss.<br />
• Crooked Teeth – this<br />
may have been caused<br />
by a relapse of earlier<br />
orthodontics. Your<br />
smile can be improved<br />
as small fixes can make<br />
a big difference<br />

<strong>The</strong> donation was<br />
presented to Ryde<br />
Hospital General Manager<br />
Heather Gough by<br />
club management on<br />
Wednesday as part of a<br />
partnership with Ryde<br />
Hospital Fundraising<br />
and the Kolling Foundation.<br />
Heather Gough told<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> it will<br />
be used to diagnose<br />
patients admitted to<br />
Emergency with possible<br />
cardio problems.<br />
“It will be used by<br />
doctors and nurses<br />
with our highly specialised<br />
Emergency department,”<br />
she said.<br />
“It means we can<br />
make the right diagnosis<br />
and therefore the<br />
right treatment.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> new equipment<br />
could not come at a<br />
better time.<br />
“After five to ten years<br />
our cardio and other<br />
machines reach the<br />
end of their life.<br />
“We want this hospital<br />
to have the latest<br />
equipment and we<br />
need to have this up<br />
to date equipment because<br />
we are moving<br />
into the age of robotics.”<br />
New ultra sound<br />
equipment can be used<br />
to help detect anything<br />
from an irregular heartbeat<br />
to a cardio disease<br />
related problem<br />
and the General Manager<br />
said having up to<br />
date ultra sound equipment<br />
is crucial.<br />
“We have quite an<br />
elderly population in<br />
the district, to say the<br />
least.<br />
“So every donation<br />
we get for this cardio<br />
equipment will help<br />
us and we appreciate<br />
this generous donation<br />
from the Ryde Eastwood<br />
Leagues Club.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> hospital has<br />
many good news stories<br />
related to an early<br />
and accurate diagnosis<br />
made by on duty emergency<br />
teams and these<br />
teams rely on the precision<br />
of the equipment<br />
they use.<br />
“What makes a good<br />
news story is having<br />
the right type of<br />
equipment,” Ms Gough<br />
stressed.<br />
Ryde Eastwood<br />
Leagues Club President<br />
Jim McClymont<br />
said the club was delighted<br />
to be able to<br />
help fund this new<br />
equipment.<br />
“We are proud to be a<br />
part of our community<br />
and very pleased to be<br />
able to make this donation<br />
today,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> work being done<br />
for our local community<br />
at this local hospital is<br />
impressive and we value<br />
our long association<br />
with the hospital team.”<br />

Formal consultation will begin next<br />

FOR THIS PROJECT<br />
‘<strong>The</strong> New Heart of Ryde’ offers<br />
a bold new vision for a redeveloped<br />
Ryde Civic Centre site.<br />
We have listened to our community,<br />
who have asked us for more space<br />
for performances, meetings, art<br />
and functions, with no residential<br />
apartments.<br />
‘<strong>The</strong> New Heart of Ryde’ will deliver<br />
a four-fold increase in community<br />
space whilst retaining 100% public<br />
ownership of the site.<br />
This space will house public meeting<br />
rooms, offices, childcare facilities,<br />
commercial and retail facilities, a<br />
plaza and open space, on-site<br />
parking and Council chambers.<br />
It will also be home to a dedicated,<br />
flexibly-designed cultural and<br />
community space.<br />
<strong>The</strong> City of Ryde has committed to<br />
achieve this without increasing rates<br />
or reducing services.<br />

Comments and design<br />
ideas will be reviewed<br />
by councillors<br />
and staff in September<br />
and can cover<br />
any aspect of the proposed<br />
development.<br />
<strong>The</strong> current proposed<br />
plan responds<br />
to demands from<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> readers - who<br />
rejected the failed<br />
high rise apartment<br />
concept promoted by<br />
former Mayor Colonel<br />
Bill Pickering - and<br />
who want their civic<br />
centre to be publically<br />
owned with no residential<br />
apartments.<br />
“Called the New<br />
Heart of Ryde, it will<br />
deliver a four-fold<br />
increase in community<br />
space with public<br />
meeting rooms, offices,<br />
childcare facilities,<br />
commercial and<br />
retail facilities, a plaza<br />
and open space,<br />
on-site parking and<br />
council chambers,”<br />
Mayor Jerome Laxale<br />
said.<br />
“It will also be home<br />
to a dedicated, flexibly-designed<br />
cultural<br />
and community<br />
space and the City of<br />
Ryde has committed<br />
to achieve this without<br />
increasing rates<br />
or reducing services.”<br />
Deputy Mayor Simon<br />
Zhou (Ind), Ryde<br />
Central Committee<br />
Chair Clr Christopher<br />
Gordon (<strong>The</strong> Greens)<br />
and musician Ian Cox<br />
from the Ryde Hunters<br />
Hill Symphony<br />
Orchestra told <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> on Friday<br />
they especially<br />
look forward to <strong>TWT</strong><br />
readership feedback<br />
on the new cultural<br />
and community<br />
based concert hall.<br />
Ryde’s new<br />
major venue<br />
This new hall will<br />
be the City of Ryde’s<br />
major performance<br />
venue and is expected<br />
to include a theatre<br />
screen, kitchen<br />
facilities and possibly<br />
a rooftop garden.<br />
“As a composer, I<br />
love the fact that it<br />
will be large enough<br />
for concerts by the<br />
Ryde Hunters Hill<br />
Symphony Orchestra,<br />
the Ryde Eisteddfod,<br />
for local<br />
theatre companies<br />
and for community<br />
festivals, private receptions<br />
and conferences,”<br />
Clr Gordon<br />
said.<br />
“It should also have<br />
smaller rooms for<br />
community group<br />
use, such as meditation<br />
classes.”<br />
He said councillors<br />
and staff have met<br />
“well over a thousand”<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> readers<br />
who are excited by<br />
the concept and by<br />
an opportunity to<br />
help design it.<br />
“What it will finally<br />
look like depends<br />
on the consultation<br />
feedback but as a<br />
councillor from <strong>The</strong><br />
Greens I will be hoping<br />
to see gardens,<br />
solar panels and<br />
green space,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I am also looking<br />
forward to comments<br />
on how our architects<br />
can design<br />
an iconic looking<br />
building, being so<br />
much more than just<br />
a big, square box<br />
and I love how the<br />
cultural and community<br />
based concert<br />
hall will be linked to<br />
Top Ryde City by a<br />
footbridge.”<br />

said he will encourage<br />

say and he stressed<br />
that all of Ryde’s<br />
cultural community<br />
groups are invited<br />
to comment on what<br />
best suits their community<br />
needs.<br />
“I will explain that<br />
it will be built, from<br />
scratch, around the<br />
needs of our performers<br />
and their<br />
guests and the final<br />
design will be<br />
shaped by their comments,”<br />
he said.<br />
“With the new urban<br />
developments<br />
in Meadowbank and<br />
Gladesville, this new<br />
community space<br />
will now be right at<br />
the heart of our cultural<br />
communities<br />
and I want them to<br />
feel proud of it, to<br />
regard it as their own<br />
and to feel proud<br />
that their comments<br />
will shape what this<br />
will look like.”<br />
Big enough<br />
for a harp<br />
For Ian Cox, one of<br />
the most important<br />
considerations is access.<br />
“Of course it needs<br />
to have good acoustics<br />
but stage access<br />
for performers will be<br />
very important, particularly<br />
for orchestras<br />
which need to<br />
bring in large instruments<br />
like harps,” he<br />
said.<br />
“A large loading<br />
dock area will therefore<br />
be important<br />
but the backstage<br />
area will also need<br />
to be large enough<br />
for Ryde’s Eisteddfods,<br />
where we are<br />
talking about access<br />
for many ensembles,<br />
some of which will<br />
have up to 60 performers.”<br />
Councillors Gordon<br />
and Zhou also<br />
stressed the need for<br />

Ryde blasts development forecast<br />
CITY OF RYDE Mayor Jerome Laxale (ALP) has blasted a new housing<br />
forecast that recently revealed 10,000 new apartments and homes<br />
will be built in the city in the next five years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Department of<br />
Planning and Environment<br />
forecast shows a<br />
46 per cent increase on<br />
the number of new apartments<br />
and homes built<br />
completed in the past<br />
five years.<br />
Mayor Laxale said the<br />
number is far higher than<br />
the forecast for neighbouring<br />
Hunters Hill<br />
which will get 150 new<br />
apartments and homes.<br />
He said in Hunters Hill<br />
this is a decrease on the<br />
223 new dwellings completed<br />
there over the past<br />
five years and he blamed<br />
Ryde MP Victor Dominello<br />
for the increase.<br />
“Only months after<br />
his re-election we have<br />
been quickly reminded<br />
about what Mr Dominello<br />
and his colleagues really<br />
think about Ryde,” Mayor<br />
Laxale said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve always been<br />
prepared to say one<br />
thing, and do another<br />
when it comes to planning<br />
in our City and these<br />
numbers prove it,” Clr<br />
Laxale said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> forecasts from<br />
the department are the<br />
unavoidable result of the<br />
State Government’s intervention,<br />
and despite<br />
what Mr Dominello says<br />
publicly it is clear that he<br />
is unable or unwilling to<br />
do anything to address<br />
the situation.”<br />
Mr Dominello has previously<br />
argued that the<br />
council bears responsibility<br />
for over development<br />
because it has<br />
failed to amend current<br />
zoning and planning controls.<br />
He was an outspoken<br />
critic of a failed proposal<br />
by Meriton to build a forty<br />
storey - or higher - apartment<br />
block in Macquarie<br />
Park which Liberals<br />
dubbed “Laxale Towers”<br />
and he recently led<br />
a campaign to stop an<br />
AMP proposal to demolish<br />
the iconic ice rink at<br />
Macquarie Park to make<br />
way for a new development.<br />
Mayor Laxale is sceptical<br />
about Mr Dominello’s<br />
action and accused the<br />
state government of a<br />
pro-high rise agenda.<br />
“This includes the government’s<br />
Priority Precinct<br />
program which will<br />
cram 15,000 dwellings<br />
into Macquarie Park and<br />
North Ryde,” he said.<br />
“Meanwhile, the Medium<br />
Density Housing<br />
Code due to come into<br />
effect in July next year<br />
could result in 60,000 additional<br />
residents.<br />
“This has the potential<br />
to transform predominantly<br />
low-density<br />
neighbourhoods with<br />
the required supporting<br />
infrastructure in place to<br />
medium density neighbourhoods<br />
outstripping<br />
available infrastructure<br />
and putting untold strain<br />
on our local natural areas.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> City of Ryde will<br />
lobby new NSW Planning<br />
Minister Rob Stokes<br />
for the City of Ryde to<br />
be permanently exempt<br />
from the Medium Density<br />
Housing Code.<br />
“Mr Stokes has recently<br />
made some very encouraging<br />
comments about<br />
reforming the current<br />
planning system including<br />
suggestions he may<br />
ditch the Priority Precinct<br />
program, work more<br />
closely with councils on<br />
medium density housing<br />
and end the system of<br />
spot rezoning,” he said<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se reforms are desperately<br />
needed in the<br />
City of Ryde as is a commitment<br />
from the State<br />
Government to meet its<br />
obligations and invest<br />
in the appropriate infrastructure<br />
to support the<br />
increased level of housing<br />
that will be coming<br />
over the next five years.”<br />

and customers were<br />

Out of control youths try to<br />
burn down skateboard park<br />
A CANTEEN has been set on fire and there are tensions between late night Meadowbank skateboard<br />
park users and local residents.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re has been an<br />
element of criminal behaviour<br />
as well with a<br />
serious fire lit at the<br />
canteen,” City of Ryde<br />
Clr Edwina Clifton said.<br />
“Accelerant was apparently<br />
thrown onto the<br />
canteen’s switchboard<br />
last month (pictured) in<br />
an apparent attempt to<br />
burn down the building.<br />
“Residents have found<br />
some users to be rude,<br />
threatening and even<br />
law-breaking.<br />
“This makes it difficult<br />
to approach certain users<br />
and ask for compliance,<br />
or even understanding,<br />
of the plight<br />
of locals.<br />
“Some residents have<br />
even asked not to be<br />
named or photographed<br />
as they are concerned<br />
there may be retaliation.”<br />
Local resident Lawrence<br />
Heffernan told a<br />
recent council meeting<br />
a simmering issue is the<br />
noise made by skateboarders<br />
which he described<br />
as intrusive and<br />
unacceptable.<br />
“We live directly opposite<br />
the park and we<br />
assumed it would operate<br />
from sun up to sun<br />
down but now we have<br />
the relentless noise of<br />
skateboarders,” he told<br />
councillors.<br />
“Sleeping in our front<br />
bedroom is no longer<br />
and option.”<br />
City of Ryde Clr Edwina<br />
Clifton recently<br />
spoke with neighbouring<br />
residents and while<br />
she stressed that most<br />
park users are sociable<br />
and well meaning, she<br />
agreed there are those<br />
causing hell for others.<br />
A night curfew has<br />
now been suggested.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> residents are<br />
asking for a more considerate<br />
closing time,<br />
each day, from the existing<br />
9.00pm,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Residents would like<br />
to see the lights off by<br />
6.30pm or 7pm and the<br />
Skate park closed at<br />
this time to enjoy some<br />
peace without the constant<br />
grind and scrap of<br />
skate boards and music<br />
blaring from boom boxes<br />
that are being bought<br />
in by the skaters.?<br />
“Local families have<br />
had to move their children<br />
out of front bedrooms<br />
as the noise is<br />
so loud the children are<br />
unable to get to sleep.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Meadowbank<br />
Skate Park, also known<br />
as Roy’s Place, has an<br />
eight week trial of the<br />
lights being turned off<br />
by 8pm but residents<br />
are reporting there is<br />
still noise and loiterers<br />
hanging around the<br />
park till 10.30pm.<br />
“We await the end of<br />
the trial period to see if<br />
the City of Ryde can implement<br />
more amenable<br />
hours, and full signage,<br />
to assist the lives of locals<br />
who live with the<br />
skate park for too long<br />
each day, every day of<br />
the week,” Clr Clifton<br />
said.<br />

Despite media hysteria and green protests, like this one in Europe, Hunters Hill bush carers and<br />
councillors stress that Glysophate is a safe weedkiller when used in strict accordance with safety<br />
instructions.<br />
Hunters Hill bush carers plead<br />
the case for ‘toxic’ weed killer<br />
HUNTERS HILL bush carers have taken the extraordinary move to defend their<br />
use of the so called “toxic” weed killing chemical Glysophate, which has been<br />
linked to cancer.<br />
Bush carers advocate<br />
Heather Armstrong told<br />
last week’s Hunters Hill<br />
Council meeting that<br />
Glysophate is a safe<br />
weedkiller when used<br />
in strict accordance<br />
with safety instructions<br />
and it should continue<br />
to be used to kill noxious<br />
weeds in municipal<br />
bushland.<br />
Her address to councillors<br />
follows damning<br />
newspaper reports<br />
on Glysophate use<br />
- which councillors<br />
blasted as hysteria –<br />
as well as protests in<br />
Europe which respond<br />
to a World Health Organisation<br />
warning<br />
about the misuse of the<br />
chemical.<br />
“It is safe to use and<br />
has been used for up<br />
to 40 years,” Ms Armstrong<br />
said.<br />
“And if we do not<br />
use it in bush care, our<br />
biodiversity will suffer<br />
because Byron Bay<br />
stopped using it and<br />
biodiversity suffered<br />
there.”<br />
She warned that the<br />
use of other week killing<br />
chemicals is not the<br />
best alternative.<br />
“Glysophate came<br />
out with flying colours<br />
when compared to<br />
these other chemicals<br />
and sure, you need to<br />
be careful how you use<br />
Glysophate, but bush<br />
carers are careful.”<br />
She said only a small<br />
amount of the chemical<br />
is used by bush carers<br />
in a distilled form<br />
and stressed that the<br />
chemical is not sprayed<br />
but is individually applied<br />
to noxious plants<br />
and weeds.<br />
“It is safe when you<br />
paint it on, with no drift<br />
and no problems.”<br />
Deputy Mayor Ben<br />
Collins blasted what<br />
he described as alarmist,<br />
media hysteria surrounding<br />
Glysophate.<br />
“This story came out<br />
in the Sydney Morning<br />
Herald and in the<br />
Northern District <strong>Times</strong><br />
and the result is reactionary<br />
behaviour with<br />
no scientific reason<br />
and despite scientific<br />
bodies saying it is<br />
safe,” he said.<br />
“When you start playing<br />
around with this<br />
hysteria you do not get<br />
the result you want and<br />
we should not be feeding<br />
into this.<br />
“Let us keep cool<br />
heads because it is<br />
safe and not a cause<br />
for alarm.”<br />
Councillor Ross Williams<br />
condemned<br />
what he described as<br />
“ignorance” about the<br />
safe use of Glysophate<br />
while Mayor Mark Bennett<br />
and Clr Zac Miles<br />
said they had used the<br />
chemical themselves.<br />
“I have sprayed more<br />
of this than anyone<br />
here and have been exposed<br />
to it more than<br />
most people,” Clr Miles<br />
said.<br />
“In fact I have sprayed<br />
thousands and thousands<br />
(of litres) of it in<br />
Queensland and despite<br />
the articles written,<br />
I have no problem<br />
with it.”<br />
Mayor Bennett recently<br />
used the chemical<br />
in the country region<br />
around Oberon.<br />
Councillors resolved<br />
to have staff review existing<br />
documentation<br />
on the safety, handling<br />
and storage of Glysophate<br />
as well as the<br />
use of the chemical in<br />
playgrounds, gardens,<br />
bushlands and other<br />
public places.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also resolved<br />
to identify non-Glysophate<br />
alternatives and<br />
to state the council’s<br />
position on the use of<br />
the chemical on the<br />
council website.<br />

local clubs<br />
and councils to take<br />
advantage of the opportunity<br />
to improve<br />
the quality and quantity<br />
of cricketing facilities<br />
across the electorate.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> NSW Government<br />
has ensured<br />
grassroots cricket in<br />

areas benefit from<br />
NSW hosting games<br />
at the women’s and<br />
men’s ICC Twenty20<br />

Mr Perrottet<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> NSW ICC<br />

and attract major<br />
cricket events.<br />
“I urge the local<br />
cricket community<br />
to take advantage of<br />
this fantastic opportunity.”<br />
Minister for Sport<br />
John Sidoti said the<br />
ICC Twenty20 World<br />
Cup will be an amazing<br />
spectacle of the<br />
world’s best male and<br />
female cricketers.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> ICC Twenty20<br />
World Cup is the format’s<br />
pinnacle competition<br />
and the atmosphere<br />
at games<br />
will be electric,” Mr<br />
Sidoti said.<br />
“Sydney will host 14<br />
matches across the<br />
Men’s and Women’s<br />
ICC Twenty20 World<br />
Cup tournaments, including<br />
three of the<br />
four semi-finals in<br />
both tournaments and<br />
the Women’s opening<br />
celebration at Sydney<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Twenty20 Legacy<br />
Fund is about<br />
giving back to local<br />
cricket clubs and I encourage<br />
clubs, associations<br />
and councils<br />
in the Epping electorate<br />
to take advantage<br />
of this once in a generation<br />
opportunity.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Legacy Fund is<br />
part of the NSW Government’s<br />
successful<br />
bid for matches<br />
in Sydney at the ICC<br />

Kids need to take the winter<br />
plunge to be summer safe<br />
THERE are many benefits for little ones to take<br />
the plunge during the winter months as consistency<br />
is critical for children learning to swim,<br />
and learning to swim is an essential life skill.<br />
A long winter off-season sive aquatic education program<br />
can result in diminished<br />
at their Aquatic Centres.<br />
swimming skills and reduced<br />
water confidence when summer<br />
returns. Water safety is<br />
All classes gradually foster<br />
important water skillsets such<br />
as exploration through water<br />
a vital life-saving skill which play, floating, submerging<br />
all children should learn and<br />
most importantly, encouraging<br />
them to attend ongoing<br />
lessons is the goal to achieving<br />
a solid foundation that will<br />
last a lifetime.<br />
According to head swim<br />
skills, safe breathing techniques,<br />
strong kicking action<br />
as well as working on stroke<br />
development and proficiency<br />
in all four swimming strokes,<br />
leading to swimming endurance<br />
and lap swimming.<br />
instructor at Lane Cove <strong>The</strong> comprehensive Bluefit<br />
Aquatic Centre, Danielle Swim School Program is a<br />
McKenna “kids should be<br />
taught to swim in achievable<br />
steps, learning the basics in<br />
a nurturing, engaging and<br />
fun class environment, with a<br />
gradually introduction to new<br />
techniques which will lead to<br />
water independence.<br />
no-judgement zone, catering<br />
to all ages and abilities with<br />
an emphasis on developing<br />
aquatic safety for all.<br />
Both children and adults<br />
alike can learn the skills to<br />
safely and confidently enjoy<br />
the water year round.<br />
“As a mum of two little<br />
ones, I understand children<br />
learn at different paces and<br />
a progressive swim program<br />
allows them to advance<br />
when they are ready. For parents<br />
looking for a new swim<br />
school, they should be on<br />
the look-out for a supportive<br />
and stimulating environment,<br />
small class sizes with an integrated<br />
and progressive swim<br />
program. Above all, parental<br />
involvement, encouragement<br />
and support is paramount to<br />
children who are learning to<br />
swim”. explains McKenna.<br />
With the aim to teach children<br />
to love and respect water<br />

partnership with local Councils<br />

JAYDEN RIZK, a 10-year old Cub Scout from Eastwood Marsfield Scout Group, has<br />
been presented with the Grey Wolf Award - the highest accolade in Cub Scouting.<br />
To achieve this<br />
award, Jayden completed<br />
numerous<br />
and varied activities<br />
including first aid,<br />
cooking, camping,<br />
scientific discovery<br />
and community<br />
awareness.<br />
He also led fellow<br />
Cubs on a two-hour<br />
bush hike and created<br />
a diorama based<br />
on Rudyard Kipling’s<br />
<strong>The</strong> Jungle Book.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> best thing<br />
about Cubs is that it’s<br />
fun. You get to play<br />
games and do activities<br />
where you learn<br />
to cooperate with<br />
other Cubs,” says<br />
Jayden.<br />
Young Jayden is<br />
the first Eastwood<br />
Marsfield Cub in six<br />
years to earn the<br />
award.<br />
District Cub Scout<br />
Leader Cassandra<br />
Donald has known<br />
Jayden since he first<br />
joined the Scouting<br />
movement in 2016.<br />
“Watching Jayden<br />
grow and encouraging<br />
him to take on<br />
new challenges has<br />
been very rewarding,”<br />
says Cassandra.<br />
“For the Grey Wolf<br />
Award, he really<br />
needed to live up to<br />
the Cub Scout Promise<br />
to ‘do your best’.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Eastwood<br />
Marsfield Scout<br />
Group has attracted<br />
a growing number of<br />
youth members in recent<br />
times. It is hoped<br />
Jayden’s success will<br />
inspire others in the<br />
Group to do their<br />
best and work towards<br />
achieving their<br />
goals. <strong>The</strong> Group<br />
would like to recruit<br />
more adult leaders<br />
and encourages interested<br />
people to<br />

Jan Stephenson inducted into<br />
World Golf Hall of Fame<br />
AUSTRALIAN golfing superstar Jan Stephenson OAM - the Balmain girl who blazed<br />
a trail for women’s golf - realised a lifelong dream last week when inducted into the<br />
prestigious World Golf Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Carmel-By-<strong>The</strong>-Sea, California.<br />
It is deserved recognition<br />
for the decorated<br />
Stephenson<br />
who joins compatriots<br />
Karrie Webb,<br />
Greg Norman, Peter<br />
Thompson, Kel Nagle,<br />
David Graham<br />
and Walter Travis and<br />
legends of the game<br />
Jack Nicklaus, Arnold<br />
Palmer, Annika<br />
Sorenstam and Nancy<br />
Lopez on a distinguished<br />
honour roll.<br />
For 67 year old Stephenson<br />
the honour<br />
was overwhelming,<br />
having twice been<br />
rejected, with good<br />
friend Nancy Lopez<br />
delivering the great<br />
news,<br />
An emotional Stephenson<br />
took to the<br />
stage and paid tribute<br />
to those who had<br />
an impact on both<br />
her career and her<br />
life;<br />
“Looking around<br />
the room I see so<br />
many people who<br />
have helped me and<br />
supported me over<br />
the years,” said Stephenson<br />
in her World<br />
Golf Hall of Fame acceptance<br />
speech.<br />
“It is amazing to see<br />
friends from all walks<br />
of life and from all<br />
kinds of places, be<br />
here because of the<br />
incredible game of<br />
golf. To all my friends<br />
and family, thank you<br />
for your support.<br />
“As I look back on<br />
my career, more than<br />
the wins and the<br />
fame, what stands<br />
out most to me is the<br />
remarkable women<br />
I’ve had the opportunity<br />
to compete with,<br />
get to know and call<br />
my friends. I consider<br />
myself lucky to have<br />
played in some of the<br />
most amazing times.<br />
“I even got to witness<br />
the birth of career<br />
women’s golf<br />
and got to play with<br />
fellow Aussie and<br />
friend Karrie Webb in<br />
her very first professional<br />
event in Australia.<br />
“Golf has taken me<br />
on a wonderful journey,<br />
allowing me to<br />
travel around the<br />
world and make relationships<br />
that have<br />
lasted a lifetime and<br />
now it has taken me<br />
here to the World<br />
Golf Hall of Fame. It’s<br />
truly a dream come<br />
true.”<br />
Webb paid tribute<br />
to Stephenson, who<br />
grew up in Balmain<br />
and won five consecutive<br />
NSW Schoolgirl<br />
Championships from<br />
1964 and three successive<br />
NSW Junior<br />
titles before turning<br />
professional in<br />
1973 and capturing<br />
the Australian Ladies<br />
Open.<br />
“As an Australian<br />
woman, Jan was really<br />
the trailblazer for<br />
all Aussie girls to aspire<br />
to one day compete<br />
on the LPGA<br />
tour in the US. With<br />
her success on and<br />
off the course creating<br />
her notoriety, it<br />
inspired the generations<br />
behind her to<br />
believe that they too<br />
could be successful<br />
playing on the<br />
LPGA,” said Webb.<br />
Ian Baker-Finch<br />
said Jan’s induction<br />
into the World Golf<br />
Hall of Fame was a<br />
position she absolutely<br />
deserved.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> work Jan has<br />
done for golf both on<br />
and off the course<br />
has bettered our<br />
game and is a testament<br />
to who she is<br />
as a person and the<br />
love she has for our<br />
sport,” he said.<br />
Stephenson’s impressive<br />
golf resum,<br />
By CHRIS KARAS<br />
includes: 16 LPGA<br />
Tour victories, plus<br />
wins on the Ladies<br />
European Tour, LPGA<br />
of Japan and Asian<br />
Tour as well as three<br />
LPGA major championships:<br />
the 1981<br />
du Maurier Classic<br />
(then a major), 1982<br />
Women’s PGA, and<br />
1983 U.S. Women’s<br />
Open. She also was<br />
the 1974 LPGA Tour<br />
Rookie of the Year.<br />
Since her playing<br />
days Stephenson has<br />
been a driving force<br />
behind the fastgrowing<br />
LPGA Legends<br />
Tour and these<br />
days keeps herself<br />
busy as the owner of<br />
Tarpon Woods, a golf<br />
course in the Tampa<br />
area.<br />
Stephenson, an ambassador<br />
for blind<br />
and disabled golf<br />
through ISPS Handa,<br />
bought the club<br />
through her foundation,<br />
Jan Stephenson’s<br />
Crossroads<br />
where her mission<br />
is, “Giving to those<br />
that have given so<br />
much,” and “Every<br />
day is Military Appreciation<br />
Day at Tarpon<br />
Woods.”<br />
In 2017 Stephenson<br />
was awarded the<br />
prestigious Military<br />
Order of the Purple<br />
Heart for her services<br />
to the military in<br />
the US.<br />
