Global Cooling
or warming?
Dear Sir,
Viv Forbes is a regular contributor
to the letters page
which isn’t that unusual expect
when you note he lives in
rural Queensland.
So why is Mr Forbes always
writing to a tiny suburban weekly
in north-west Sydney?
And why is Mr Forbes always
trying to debunk that facts associated
with global warming?
Well Mr Forbes is the executive
director of The Saltbush
Club, a rag tag group of current
and past coal, mining and
industry executives that are the
“flat-earthers” of our time.
There are undoubtedly some
emanate people among their
membership however not one
of them is a recognised, published
and peer reviewed climate
scientist.
They believe, in part, that the
release of Co2 into our atmosphere
is not a bad thing.
Mr Forbes latest letter suggests
that we have more to fear
from “lethal global cooling” than
“life-sustaining global warming”.
I would suggest to Mr Forbes
that by the time the next ice age
comes along we will all be long
gone.
The facts are undeniable, the
planet is warming, the clear
cause of that warming is the
release of gasses into our atmosphere
due to the burning
of fossil fuels and methane from
farm animals.
And with enormous amounts
of land being cleared of forests
the planets ability to absorb excess
Co2 has become severely
diminished.
Fortunately almost every single
nation around the world understands
what is going on with
our climate and appreciates that
we are already in trouble.
Right now governments are
working to rectify the damage
already caused and trying to
halt increased global temperatures.
They understand, I just wonder
why Mr Forbes doesn’t?

Letters to the Editor
In Ryde Council’s advertisement
he’s grinning widely and
looking excited about a development
– his own Council’s
new Civic Centre.
But on the adjacent page in
front of another high rise – he’s
all grim and miserable.
He’s adopted the classic “not
in my backyard” pose – arms
crossed, furrowed brow andangry
fixedglare– the one seen so
often in our local press.
The stance is such a cliche it
even has its own website and
Facebook page celebrating it
– called “Angry people in local
newspapers”. Google it, it’s hilarious…
The Labor mayor’s happy/
sad schizophrenia over development
might be a puzzle,
but then his Liberal opponent’s
stance is even more perplexing.
Once upon a time all politicians
had to promise they’d
build new things, support new
jobs and provide more rateable
funds to pay for extra services.
But now that “development”
is such a dirty word, they’re
forced to do the exact reverse,
and in effect – promote stagnation
and declining services for
everyone. Good luck with the
results of that, Jeremy and Victor…
So no wonder the Mayor
looks so unhappy in the second
photo. When I saw it I felt
like giving him a hug to cheer
him up.
Either that or submit the photo
to that website.

feel obliged to correct for
the sake of your readers.
Firstly woolly rhinos and
mammoths were part of the
ice age fauna that lived on
what has been termed the
mammoth steep.
The rhinos were first on the
scene arriving more than 50
million years ago with the
mammoths turning up 17.5
million years ago.
This mammoth steep extended
from Spain through to
North Americaover the Bearing
Straight which was dry
land at the time.
They together with a whole
ice age menagerie colonised
this steep moving north when
the ice retreated and south
when it expanded.
Fossil evidence indicates
that the woolly rhinos went
extinct about 34,000 years
ago shortly before the ice age
maximum, 30,000 to 20,000
years ago, and the mammoths
persisted till about 11,000
years ago well after the collapse
of the large ice sheets in
the north.
Hunters consisting of human/Neanderthal
hybrids
were well established in the
mammoth steep 37,000 years
ago and probably had a big
hand in their demise.
Given the long time span
over which these animals occupied
this cold land and the
vast numbers involved it is little
wonder that we find their
frozen remains from time to
time.
But we have to remember
that they actually thrived in the
cold phases.
Viv is correct re the recent
historical cold events however
inaccurate re the effects
of heat.
Heat waves and associated
droughts are called the silent
killers.
The heat waves preceding
the Black Friday bush fires in
January 2009 resulted in 374
excess deaths in Victoria that
can be attributed to the heat
alone forcing Melbourne city
morgue to outsource cadavers
to local hospitals and funeral
homes.
The suicide rate among
farmers in the millennium
drought and the one that we
are currently experiencing has
been huge and immensely
tragic and is a direct result of
climate change and increasing
temperatures and I have not
even begun to estimate the
death toll among the livestock.
I know that your editor is a
climate change denier and
probably refers to folk like me
as warmists.
Given the ever increasing
body of evidence confirming
anthropomorphic climate
change I think that you and
some of your readers should
re-examine the evidence with
an open mind.
I have carefully examined
the sceptics evidence and
found it lacking in basic science
as per the extinction of
the woolly rhino and mammoth.

turned into an article
about out of control

Hunters Hill Guest Column
Little to mark thousands
of years of occupation
DESPITE Australia’s
indigenous community
being the sole occupants
of Hunters Hill
peninsula for all but
the past two centuries
or so, there is little
to show now for their
presence over thousands
of years.
This is an unfortunate
situation which Hunters
Hill Historical Society
would like to remedy.
Some could argue it
is too little, too late but
the Historical Society
maintains that it is worth
making the effort to look
at ways of recognising
Aboriginal engagement.
While there is, of
course, much written
evidence chronicling our
harbour suburb’s later
European settlement, the
details about indigenous
activity is sketchy to say
the least.
This is not surprising
because of their
tradition of passing
down information from
generation to generation
orally rather than writing
down their history.
* * *
IT IS generally accepted
that the Aboriginal
people who occupied
the peninsula belonged
to the Wallumedegal or
Wallumattagal clan.
Their name was derived
from either the word for
snapper fish - wallumai
- combined with matta,
meaning a place of
water or after the spiny
rush plant which grows
prolifically in the area.
These early inhabitants
possibly referred to
the area as Moco
Boula, meaning two
waters, specifically the
Parramatta and Lane
Cove Rivers which lie
on either side of the
peninsula.
The name was originally
used by one of Hunters
Hill’s early pioneers, Jules
Joubert.
He claimed this was
how local Aboriginal
To The POINT
with CHRIS SCHOFIELD
people had referred to
the area.
However he provided no
source for his assertion.
As an aside, it is
interesting to note that
Joubert wanted to use the
name of Moocooboola
for the then newlyestablished
Municipality.
His peers were not as
supportive of the idea
and preferred Hunters
Hill. Moocooboola exists,
though, in the name of the
local community festival,
among other things.
* * *
THERE ARE several
dozen recorded
archaeological sites
spread around the
Municipality.
Their exact whereabouts
have been generally kept
secret, which is partly a
deliberate policy by the
authorities to keep them
safe and secure from
overzealous enthusiasts
and to deter vandalism.
As it is, their locations
have become overgrown
and mostly inaccessible
and any evidence of
Aboriginal occupation
has diminished, not
least because of natural
erosion.
These sites indicate
that indigenous people
conducted a range
of activities on the
peninsula.
It is likely, though, that
the length of each visit
may have been only to
eat a meal, from fish
caught in the surrounding
waters, or to stay just a
few days.
As the majority of the
sites are close to the
shoreline, this leads to the
conclusion that access to
the peninsula was mostly
by canoe.
There are stated to be
three main areas showing
signs of Aboriginal
occupation - near
Woolwich Dock, at Kelly’s
Bush in Woolwich and in
Boronia Park.
There are also a couple
of sites within private
properties.
* * *
THESE SITES have
been recorded as being
rock shelters, axegrinding
grooves in the
rocks, middens made
up of discarded shells of
mussels, oysters, cockles
and whelks and even
human burial grounds.
The subject of the
pictures in the rock
shelters are not readily
identifiable, having faded
because of weathering
or by graffiti which has
obscured them.
Human skeletal remains
were discovered many
years ago.
From one location, near
Woolwich Dock, two
skulls were recovered
- one of a woman and
the other of a juvenile. A
skull was also found at a
property nearby.
Two of these skulls
are recorded as being
in the possession of the
Australian Museum.
Surely there is merit
in promoting Hunters
Hill’s Aboriginal heritage
to form the basis
of an interpretative
explanation of indigenous
involvement in the local
area.
The Historical Society
is considering the
possibility of a culturallysensitive
display within its
Museum at the Town Hall.
Any more information
or suggestions for
inclusions, or even
the donation of local
artefacts, would be
gratefully received..

City of Ryde statement responds to TWT article
about Lane Cove’s sharing offer to Hunters Hill
THE CITY of Ryde has issued a statement in response to last week’s exclusive
article in The Weekly Times about Lane Cove Council’s offer to share services with
Hunters Hill Council.
The TWT article reports
that Lane Cove has offered
shared library services
and depot services,
which has infuriated Ryde
because it has an existing
shared library service
agreement with Hunters
Hill.
“It was revealed that
Lane Cove Council and
Hunter’s Hill Council were
set to enter into a shared
service arrangement,” the
City of Ryde statement
said.
“Under the arrangement,
both councils would share
key functions including
library services, information
technology, a works
depot and senior staff.
“Despite a Joint Library
Agreement being in place
for more than 60 years,
the City of Ryde had not
been consulted about
the details of the shared
service arrangement between
Hunter’s Hill Council
and Lane Cove Council
and has not yet been given
an opportunity to negotiate
a new agreement
for library services.”
The statement warns
that the City of Ryde will
“consider options” in regard
to Hunters Hill.
“While the City of Ryde
is extremely disappointed
about the lack of consultation,
Council will need
to consider its options for
the site if the Joint Library
Agreement is terminated
by Hunter’s Hill Council..
“If the Agreement is terminated,
the City of Ryde
will need to consider the
value of maintaining a
service which is used by
Hunters Hill residents
particularly if their council
was not contributing the
operational costs.”
A subsequent article
in The Northern District
Times with alleged “inaccurate
and misleading
quotes” was noted in the
City of Ryde statement.
“Speaking to the Northern
District Times about
the new shared service
arrangement with Lane
Cove Council, Hunter’s
Hill Council Deputy Mayor
Ben Collins said his council
was overpaying by several-hundred
thousand
dollars due to the Joint
Library Agreement.
“He added that Hunters
Hill residents only use six
per cent of the Gladesville
library service.
“In the same article,
Lane Cove Deputy Mayor
Scott Bennison claimed
the City of Ryde was
gouging Hunters Hill.
“The quotes attributed
to both councillors are
WIN! with TWT!
inaccurate and misleading.””
“The City of Ryde has
refuted misleading claims
that it is charging an unfair
rate to provide library
services to Hunters Hill
residents.”
The City of Ryde statement
stressed that Hunter’s
Hill Council’s expenditure
on library services
is lower than what is being
paid by the next door
neighbours.
“Total expenditure for library
services by Hunter’s
Hill Council was $48.01
per capita.
“This is far lower than
the expenditure for the
City of Ryde at $56.83
and Lane Cove at $90.83.
“Not only does the City
of Ryde have a higher per
capita expenditure, it is
arguably subsidising the
cost of the library service
it offers to Hunter’s Hill
Council.
“In addition, the claim
by Clr Collins that only six
per cent of Hunters Hill
residents use the library
service is based on the
total book loans.
“This is not a reasonable
basis for calculating
the Hunters Hill contribution
as there is no correlation
to the total cost of
providing the service.
Tune in to 2019 Hornsby
Gang Show at Barker College
“The claim also fails to
consider the full range of
library services provided
to Hunters Hill residents,
including online library,
school holiday activities,
free Wi-Fi, home library
service and community
events.”
Deputy Mayor Collins
told The Weekly Times
that book loans accurately
reflects the use
of City of Ryde libraries
by Hunters Hill resides
because book loans are
the key function of a library.
“I welcome Lane Cove’s
offer because we live in a
free market society, which
is something the City of
Ryde does acknowledge,”
he told The Weekly Times.
The City of Ryde statement
nonetheless asks if
Lane Cove really can offer
a better deal.
“In the event that
Gladesville Library ceases
operation and the shared
service arrangement between
Hunters Hill and
Lane Cove councils was
formalised, Hunters Hill
residents would be forced
to utilise Lane Cove Library
and could lose access
to the City of Ryde’s
extensive online library of
eBooks, audiobooks and
magazines.”
Hunters Hill welcomes Lane
Cove’s shared services offer
LANE COVE Council’s proposed shared services agreement with
Hunters Hill was endorsed in principle by Hunters Hill councillors on
Monday night.
So far the agreement
includes a shared works
depot, library services and
two shared employee position
but does not incur
new costs on either council
or the loss of existing
jobs.
It was unanimously
passed by Lane Cove
councillors last week but
Hunters Hill councillors
only endorsed it with a
proviso that “substantial”
future shared works come
to a council meeting to be
ratified by councillors.
The proviso reflects
community concerns
about Hunters Hill’s potential
to lose control
of local services, which
emerged as a threat to
the heritage municipality’s
independence during
the recent, failed forced
merger bid.
“There is an understandable
fear although
clearly this is not a Clayton’s
amalgamation,” Clr
Jim Sanderson said.
“I have heard community
concern and if we
are bringing matters back
to council it gives us a
chance to explain why we
are doing things.”
It will be up to General
Manager Lisa Miscamble
to decide which matters
are substantial and which
are small scale or operational
matters.
“There is a need for
council to have a say
because we are talking
about an agreement, a
substantive activity,” Clr
Ross Williams said.
“But if there is little to
be gained by sharing
a service it is better for
those things to be done in
house.”
Councillor Justine
McLaughlin also supports
the concept of substantial
cost sharing items being
scrutinised by councillors.
“We are the public face
of Hunters Hill and if we do
not know anything about it
we cannot represent the
community,” she said.
“This provides assurances
to the community.”

8 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 26 June, 2019
John Booth AM
Mr ANTHONY ROBERTS (Lane Cove—Minister for Counter Terrorism and Corrections) (5 June 2019,
19:02:41): Friends in this House and people of New South Wales, it is my honour today to announce my nomination for
the 2019 NSW Government Community Service Award. We are fortunate in Lane Cove to be rich beyond measure with
men and women willing to donate their time and energies for a greater cause. Members of the local State Emergency
Service and Landcare branches, Meals on Wheels, Happy Hens, students raising funds for worthwhile causes and parents
educating our youth are but a few I can name. However, today I would like us to focus on one individual in particular.
Napoleon’s quip that “four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets” neatly condenses
the effect John Booth and The Weekly Times have on our local representatives. As Booth’s humble masthead surges into
its ninety-eighth year, it is worth pausing to reflect on the indelible impact John has had on our beautiful electorate. John
and The Weekly Times have never shied from a fight, waging war to defend historical buildings, schools and parks, fighting
amalgamations and giving a voice to the silent communities who live amongst us. Politicians or individuals who were
getting too big for their boots were quickly cut to size. This did not endear John to some people. A couple of strong men
made sure he knew of their displeasure. However, John outlasted them, attending the funerals of those old rivals to, in
his words, “make sure they were in their coffins”. He began the Ombudsman campaign which has gone on to serve many
thousands across New South Wales. From 1964 until its official inception as a government institution, John was synonymous
with providing locals with an avenue of appeal, a fair go. In fact, an amendment in a bill to prevent other groups from
calling themselves “the Ombudsman” was affectionately called the “Booth amendment”.
John’s achievements are not limited to his work with The Weekly Times. Born at home on Blaxland Road in 1932—
the same year as that other magnificent monument of Sydney, the Harbour Bridge—Boothy, his twin brother and sister
grew up in Ryde when it was farms and dirt roads. He attended Ryde Public School and then went on to Sydney Technical
High School. He says his best memory of school was the day he left. As a young man he was a copyboy at The Daily
Telegraph when it was headed by Sir Frank Packer and then he had a cadetship in the country papers. This career was
cut short when John’s father sadly succumbed to old war wounds in 1952. He went back to his dad and mum’s cake shop
and, as we all know, bought the business from his mum in 1957.
In 1959 John decided to take a step into politics, joining Ryde Council. Soon after he achieved the fabled position of
the mayor of Ryde. As one of his first moves he upped the rates. It is safe to say that that decision was highly unpopular.
So unpopular were the rate increases the unions put a black ban on John and for some time he could not get a cold beer
or his mail. However, this courageous political move gave the council the funds it needed to give Ryde the infrastructure it
was crying out for. For the first time Ryde developed a town plan. Roads, sewers, drainage and a swimming centre quickly
followed and large signs were erected around the suburb letting the community know the extra taxes were not going to
waste. John bought land to be used as sports ovals and helped lay the groundwork for a green belt which now hosts Macquarie
University. Interestingly, there was a campaign at the time opposed to the concept, as universities do not pay rates.
On behalf of a grateful community I thank you, John. Many hundreds of thousands of people across this State have
benefited from your perseverance and vision. We are fortunate that you crossed our way. John’s bold vision is the type of
vision that drives our State and demonstrates the success of the New South Wales Government, the union of a booming
economy, strategic planning and a government determined to improve the lives of its citizens. On behalf of my community,
to John Booth and his partner, Ulrike, who is currently in Austria, we give grateful thanks for your leadership, vision and
dedication to our community, which you have made so much stronger.

Wednesday 26 June, 2019 THE WEEKLY TIMES 9
Celebrating 40 years
Forty years of business, media
and community achievements
THE WEEKLY TIMES Managing Editor John F Booth AM this week celebrates 40 years at
the helm of Australia’s most awarded Independent community newspaper.
The Weekly Times was founded in
1921 by Charles H Engisch in Gladesville
and John Booth AM took over as
managing editor in 1979.
A former Ryde alderman known as
John ‘Action’ Booth he expanded TWT
and it has flourished in a distribution
area that stretches beyond the City of
Ryde to the Lane Cove Municipality, the
Hornsby Municipality, the Hunters Hill
municipality and into the City of Canada
Bay, the City of Parramatta and the
Inner West.
More than 54,000 homes, clubs and
businesses receive this newspaper
every Wednesday, with a total readership
of tens of thousands of locals.
Mr Booth has been presented with
numerous awards by the Community
Newspapers of Australia and was recently
named as a Mate Of Bennelong
by Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
“He has also advised and challenged
several prime ministers, premiers, government
ministers, mayors, councillors
and local politicians as well as being
at the forefront of saving the Hunters
Hill Municipality from past attempts to
merge it into the City of Ryde,” local
business leader and political observer
David Hayman said.
The Ryde Civic Centre owes its existence
to Alderman John ‘Action” Booth.
“It was his idea to build the Ryde Civic
Centre and also the Top Ryde Shopping
Centre, which is now known as
Top Ryde City Shopping Centre,” Mr
Hayman said.
“John Booth’s father, Arthur F Booth
was an alderman on the Ryde Municipal
Council and John followed his father’s
footsteps and served two continuous
terms as an alderman from 1960
to 1965 and he was simultaneously
the President of the Ryde Chamber of
Commerce.
“During his time on council and afterwards,
John Booth led the transformation
of the Ryde and surrounding
districts.
“He was behind the building of the
Ryde Swimming Centre and he allocated
the land to build the Macquarie
University and even gave it the name
Macquarie University.”
There is hardly a place in TWT territory
that hasn’t been changed for the
better through his initiative and intervention.
Ryde MP Victor Dominello takes up
the story..
“ Ryde back then was full of dirt roads
and market gardens but John was keen
to transform Ryde, however in order
to do so he needed to manage the
budget.
“So he immediately doubled the rates
so that he could raise funds to build the
facilities Ryde needed.
“Needless to say raising the rates
was not popular.
“John recalls how his business was
boycotted for 12 months.
“He was ostracised in his local community
to the point where people refused
to serve him drinks.”
Undaunted he pushed ahead with
community projects, Mr Hayman recalled.
“He was also behind the move to
purchase a large parcel of land which
is now the ELS Hall Sporting Complex
and converted many Ryde properties
from septic to sewerage, plus many
other achievements.
“Many Scout and Girl Guide Clubs
throughout Ryde were founded by him
and he instigated the building of their
club houses.”
Mr Booth took over The Weekly
Times to give the community a voice
it didn’t have at a council level and he
also founded the Ombudsman’s Office.
Anthony Roberts electoral officer Zorica Kaye-Smith presented JB with a congratulations
award from Lane Cove MP Anthony Roberts and a framed copy
of Hansard when Mr Roberts nominated John Booth for the NSW Government
Community Service Award, pictured on Page 8. TWT on-the spot PHOTO.

Eastwood’s cultural community says thanks
EASTWOOD’S multicultural community has paid tribute to the contribution to Eastwood’s festivals
made by TWT Managing Editor John F Booth AM.
Community leaders Hugh
Lee OAM and former councillor
Justin Li attributed the
success and growth of festivals
to front page promotions
in this newspaper as
well as on the spot coverage
of festival events.
“The Weekly Times has
given the wider multi-cultural
community an insight into
the festivals and traditions
of Eastwood’s Mandarin and
Cantonese speaking communities,
especially to the
business community and to
our senior seniors,” Mr Lee
said.
The Weekly Times extensively
promotes Asian Lunar
New Year and Mr Lee contributes
a column about the
meaning of each Chinese
animal year.
More recently the Moon
Festival has received coverage
in The Weekly Times
which is also proud to partner
The City of Ryde in cultural
events as well as Eastwood

JB’s World
LOVE HIM or hate him
you’ve gotta admit John
Winston Howard has etched his
name into Australian political
history as one of our most
successful and enduring prime
ministers.
And in his usual self effacing
and modest critical analysis of
himself he stated Sunday that an
equal number of people “love
me or hate me - and the haters
with increasing intensity and
venom as the years go by”.
the
John electorate Howard for has granted never taken
reflected that his electorate and
has
changed vastly from when he
was first elected to the seat of
Bennelong to succeed Sir John
Cramer nearly 30 years ago.

16 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 26 June, 2019
Celebrating 40 years
Behind the scenes with
our Managing Editor JB
THE WEEKLY TIMES Managing Editor John F Booth AM answers questions put to him
by readers across The Weekly Times territory.
Q: You have won many
awards in the last forty
years, which do you regard
as your most significant ? –
J.M (Putney).
A: Being recognised by
the Queen with the Australia
Medal was significant and
being awarded the first ever
“Mate Of Bennelong” by
Prime Minister Tony Abbott
was also memorable. Rotary
awarded me Paul Harris
Fellowships and I am proud
of all my awards for service
to the Scouts and Guides
and for supporting our local
emergency and other
services. I have also been
a Ryde Citizen of the Year.
The Weekly Times is a multi
award winning newspaper
and it is always a honour to
be recognised by the Australian
media for this newspaper’s
outstanding contribution
to the print industry.
The Weekly Times has also
received many awards for
contributions to the community,
most recently in 2016
when my newspaper was
awarded the City of Ryde’s
Event Of The Year during the
Centenary of Anzac.
Q: You have taken on
Federal, State and Local
governments and won
many battles for the local
community, which were
your toughest fights? - A.P
(Boronia Park)
A: Every year for 40 years
my newspaper has fought
and defeated bad government
decisions, gutless
politicians and wrongdoers.The
Weekly Times has
twice fought – and defeated
– state government attempts
to abolish Hunters Hill and
merge it into Ryde. My recent
and successful campaign
to save the Ryde Civic
Centre from being sold off to
property developers led to
a pro-development mayor
being toppled by his own
party. I have also defeated
many attempts to destroy
our clubs, close our schools
and cut our services. Some
of my most important wins
have been on behalf of individuals
fighting the system
and I have never been afraid
to stand for truth, justice and
a fair go, often despite powerful
opposition and many
failed attempts to force me
to back down.
Q: You’ve achieved just
about everything there is
to achieve in forty years, is
it difficult to set new goals
and challenges? - H.G (Epping)
A: My goals and challenges
are the same as they
were when I first became
managing editor. That is, to
lead a fiercely independent
local paper that fearlessly
upholds the truth, fights for
our community and makes
a positive impact in local life
and in the lives of my readers.
I have also risen to the
Thank You &
Congratulations
on 40 years of service!
Kim Toyer-Uttley
P 9816 8105 M 0408 439 837
challenge of publishing an
attractive, diverse and highly
respected newspaper that
is delivered on time, every
time to every local home
and business each week. An
important goal is to continue
to support local business
because business is our life
blood. People advertise with
me because TWT is widely
read, valued and respected.
My businesses partners include
clubs, governments,
politicians and corporations
but they also include trades
people whose survival and
growth depends on being
promoted in TWT.
Q: You have given a start
to many talented local
young people who have
gone on to become famous,
particularly in field
of sport and in the entertainment
industry. Why is
it important to give local
people a go? - M.K (North
Ryde).
A: We have also helped
launch the stellar careers
of local artists, academics,
health professionals, scientists
and community leaders.
Many local people honoured
by the Queen have previously
appeared in a TWT
story! The world famous
“Yellow Wiggle” Emma Watkins
started her career as a
TWT Miss Eastwood Granny
Smith Festival Queen. Emma
exemplifies the influence my
newspaper has when it supports
and promotes aspiring
young people. Many other
local achievers - like Premier
Gladys Berejiklian and Ryde
MP Victor Dominello - grew
up reading TWT and many
articles and photo stories
continue to inspire local people
to pursue their dreams.
Q: You have never missed
a one hundredth birthday
or a significant milestone
in the lives of your readers,
how do you manage to find
out so much about local
people? - L.S (Gladesville).
A: In the last 40 years I have
met and worked with most of
them but it says a lot about
our readers’ respect and appreciation
for this newspaper
that they tell us their stories
and want to see their friends
and families recognised by
me. Many famous locals,
like Gladesville celebrity

the Balmain Tigers give their
time and talent to support
the events I have founded,
hosted and promoted. I am
proud to acknowledge the
contributions local people
make to our local community
and especially the contribution
of those men and women
who made the ultimate
sacrifice in wartime. It was an
honour for me to be recently
chosen to present the City of
Ryde banner to the people
of France and Belgium at
places of significance to the
fallen soldiers from TWT territory
in The Great War 1914
– 1918.
Q: Do you enjoy your job
as managing editor? - P.P
(Concord West).
A: Yes! This newspaper
started as a small four page
newspaper in Gladesville
and since I took it over as
managing editor it has grown
in size and quality to become
nationally and internationally
famous for well informed and
hard hitting news coverage.
What I enjoy most is that
TWT is an integral part of the
community. So many people
tell me how much they look
forward to TWT being delivered
in their homes and businesses
every Wednesday. I
enjoy watching our small and
loyal advertisers grow and
our clubs, services and organisations
continue to prosper.
I also enjoy sponsoring
and promoting events, like
the Granny Smith Festival
and Moocooboola which
have grown to become major
events which now attract
tens of thousands of people
each year. My own events –
such as the TWT Sports Star
Of The Year Awards and the
TWT Miss Eastwood Granny
Smith Festival pageant –
continue to grow in popularity
and are highly competitive.
Q: What impact has multiculturalism
had? - L.C
(Eastwood)
A: I have met many migrants
who tell me they
learned English by reading
The Weekly Times! Amazing!
I have also met many more
who tell me that reading TWT
each week makes them feel
proud they have chosen to
live in our community. Publishing
important community
information lets recently arrived
people know what is
happening locally and gives
them access to a new community
they would not otherwise
have. When I took over
this newspaper I could not
imagine that cultural events
like Eastwood’s Asian Lunar
Year would dominate our
front pages, become world
famous and be so enthusiastically
supported by the
wider local community. I also
value our readership in the
Italian, Armenian, Persian,
Korean and Indian speaking
communities and of course I
am proud to recognise Hunters
Hill’s French heritage.
Q: The One-Eyed Tiger
has been your loyal mascot
for 40 years but what is
he like to work with? - M.T
(West Ryde)
A: Past and present Tiger
players and fans adore him
and he represents all that
makes our club the greatest
club of all. He has never
missed a game in 40 years
and he even toured Britain
with me. His knowledge of
the Tigers first grade and
junior teams is unsurpassed
and he is part of the culture
and the history of the club. I
remember his first week with
TWT as a cub reporter when
From page 9
“In 1965, he became disillusioned
with a number of
questionable activities inside
Ryde Council and resigned,”
Mr Hayman added.
“ He then commenced a
two year campaign for the
establishment of an Ombudsman,
which is an independent
officer to investigate
the actions of public officials.
“He was subsequently
appointed as Australia’s first
Ombudsman and as a result
of his efforts, an Ombudsman
now exists in every state
and territory throughout Australia
and all because he took
the initiative to lead a fact
finding mission to Denmark
where the idea flourished
from its Swedish origins.”
John Booth has a close association
with landmarks adjoining
the Parramatta River
and the craft that sail on it,
Mr Hayman said.
“He lobbied the state government
to name the river cat
ferries after famous Australian
female athletes and now
all the river cat ferries now
proudly wear the names
of Betty Cuthbert, Shane
Gould, Yvonne Goolagong,
Marlene Mathews and the
like.
“He was also the Foundation
President for the Wallumetta
Ryde District Business
and Professional Men’s Club
and was the first to lead the
successful campaign to honour
and restore the gravesite
of the colonial Aboriginal
leader Bennelong, in Putney.”
The long serving TWT managing
editor has also been
prominent at the heart of
community cultural life.
“He created many annual
community events such as
The North Ryde Carols by
Candlelight Spectacular, the
West Ryde Easter Parade &
Fair, the Ryde River’s Festival,
The Gladesville Christmas
Festival, the Granny
Smith Quest Pageant and
numerous other events and
competitions.
“As the proprietor and
editor of The Weekly Times
since 1979, he has been
dedicated to serving and
supporting local people, local
schools, aged care groups,
sporting groups, returned
and service men and women
scouts, guides, police,
hospitals, charities, Rotary,
he explained to me why it
would be impossible for him
to report on a Tigers’ loss ..
he said it is because you’ll always
be a winner when you
support Balmain! This is the
spirit he brings to this newspaper
every week.
Q: How does your cultural
heritage influence your
work? - G.K (Woolwich)
A: In the 40 years I have
served as managing editor
I have given a voice to all
faiths and denominations
that serve our community,
particularly through charitable
works. Many of my
readers live in aged care villages,
are housebound or
are in hospital. The Weekly
Times is their main link with
the local community. This is
why I place great importance
on the things in our community
we value, the things that
make people laugh, cry and
feel outraged and (especially) NSW
those things that are a living LIBERALS
part of our shared cultural
heritage.
Q: Is their a woman in
your life? - K.K (Rydalmere)
A: My mother and grandmother
have had an enormous
influence on my life
and career. It is impossible
to work in the media these
days without being linked
to a celebrity and most recently
I was linked with Paris
Hilton, whom I first met at
Birkenhead Point and who

parks, playing fields,
sports, transport, infrastructure,
businesses, governments
and health services,”
Mr Hayman added.
“Always at the forefront
of community events, The
Weekly Times was awarded
The City of Ryde’s Event of
the Year for the Commemoration
of the Centenary of
Anzac as well as Hunters
Hill’s Event of the Year for
the restoration and relocation
of a World War One German
Howitzer.”
Mr Hayman notes that
Mr Booth is a local legend
among Balmain Tigers fans
alongside his mascot, the famous
One-Eyed Tiger.
“John Booth was also a
member of the Balmain Tigers
original promotions
committee that started
the first Tigers Grand Final
Luncheon which continues
today.”
His many media awards
include the National Best
Editorial for a Community
Newspaper for his revealing
expose of the Macquarie
Community College titled
Where Have All the Students
Gone.
This Community Newspapers
of Australia award
follows many other including
his 2013 Award for Best
Community Service by a Local
Newspaper.
His previous awards include
Best Advertisement
(2010), Best Editorial (2008),
Best Colour Advertisement
(2007), Best Spot Colour Advertisement
(2007), Best Advertising
Campaign (2007),
Best Spot Colour Advertisement
(2006), Best Editorial
(2005) and the Community
Service Award in 2003.
“He was named Citizen of
the Year by Ryde City Council
for community service and
his service to scouting.”
In 2001 his work for the
community saw him recognised
by Prime Minister John
Howard with the Australian
Centenary Medal for service
to the Australian community.
“The world of politics and
business across Northern
Sydney has been shaped
by John Booth who served
as President of the Ryde
Chamber of Commerce and
was foundation president of
the Wallumetta Ryde District
has posted flattering comments
about me on her Facebook

I get to meet women who
have made – and continue
to make - outstanding contributions
to the people and
communities they serve. And
TWT readers would know

Business and Professional
Men’s Club.”
Heritage has been a specific
interest and The Weekly
Times won the State Government’s
Heritage Award for
the Lane Cove electorate in
2014-2015.
“His commitment to heritage
goes back beyond 1961
when he co-founded the
Ryde District Historical Society
and he was instrumental
in saving four historic houses
in the City of Ryde called
Addington (1798), Willandra
(1842), The Retreat (1843)
and Gracemere built in 1894.’
Campaigns in The Weekly
Times have also been effective
in saving Hunters Hill
High School, Tennis World
at North Ryde High School
grounds from sale by the
State Government.
“Many people will appreciate
that he has given young
women from Ryde and
Gladesville an opportunity
to serve the community as
The Weekly Times Miss Eastwood
Granny Smith Festival
Queen and as The Weekly
Times Gladesville Festival
Teen Queen.
“Various festivals and
events owe their existence to
John Booth and The Weekly
Times including the North
Ryde Community Christmas
Carols, West Ryde Easter
Parade & Fair, Gladesville
Christmas Festival, Ryde
Aquatic Festival.”
Mr Dominello summed up
Mr Booth’s career to date
as inspiring outstanding and
wholly committed to local
democracy.
“John Booth has made an
enormous contribution to
our community in Ryde,”the
Ryde MP said.
“However in my view, his
contribution to strengthening
our democracy and therefore
our way of life has been even
more profound.
“For those of us who love
democratic freedoms, we are
indebted.
“John went to the great
Ryde Public School and then
Sydney Tech High before he
worked as a copy boy at
Frank Packer’s Telegraph,”
he said.
“He worked his way up and
became Deputy Editor of the
Primary Producers Newspaper
and today he is famous
as the Managing Editor of
The Weekly Times.”

Renewed confidence in property market
WHAT is happening to real estate prices is certainly a question on the minds of a lot of people.
Since the Banking
Royal Commission and
the calling of the State
and Federal elections
which brings along the
usual uncertainty, a lot
of people put their plans
on hold.
Vendors who haven’t
needed to sell have been
waiting for a market upswing
or at least a stabilising
of the downturn
whilst buyers have found
it hard to get finance due
to the new lending regime
of the banks.
The good news is that
with the Australian Prudential
Regulation Authority
(APRA) loosening
some the lending constraints
by banks, more
people will be able to get
finance plus the interest
rate cut with another
expected later this year,
will be another drawcard
particularly for first home
buyers.
The other big boost to
confidence in the property
market is that the
election result has removed
anxieties about
what may have happened
to the property
market had there being
a change of government.
As after all elections
people simply get back
to getting on with their
plans and particularly
now with the status quo
remaining in place, it
should be a boost to the
property market and related
industries.
Whilst all this hasn’t
meant a dramatic upswing
just yet all indications
particularly the
very significant increase
in buyers visiting open
homes and higher auction
clearance rates,
signs of a recovery
and media speculation
all seem to bear good
news.
Potential vendors
could also take advantage
of the relative low
level of homes currently
for sale and better stand
out as a buying opportunity
for more buyers.
If you are considering
selling or perhaps would
just like to know what
price your property may
be worth, contact Brentmore
Realty North Ryde
Principal Pat Cirillo on
8005 8338 to arrange a
visit.

In Strata ... because we care!
The state’s newest
firefighters - who include
a former police
officer, an army officer,
a mathematician, a
beauty therapist and
an electrician - were
the first class to recently
graduate from
the new FRNSW
Emergency Services
Academy at Orchard
Hills.
They include Parramatta’s
Cody Edwards
and Kate
Bendyke; Rydalmere’s
Mitchell Blake; Gladesville’s
Gustavo Panucci
and Matthew Springall
of Ryde.
The state-of-the-art
Academy opened last
year, replacing the
FRNSW State Training
College at Alexandria.
Minister for Emergency
Services David Elliot
congratulated the
recruits and welcomed
them into the firefighting
family.
“These 16 firefighters
have signed up for one
of the most demanding
and important roles in
our community and will
soon take up positions
at fire stations across
Sydney
and regional NSW,”
said Mr Elliot.
“They have proven
themselves able to
meet the many challenges
of the job over
months of intense
training, from firefighting
and road-crash
rescue, to advanced
first aid and hazardous
materials response.
“They are a special
group of men and
women and the first
of a new generation
of firefighters to start
their journey and hone
their lifesaving skills at
the FRNSW Emergency
Services Academy.”
Built on a six-hectare
site at Orchard
Hills, the Academy will
soon include a range
of purpose-built training
props to simulate
fire, rescue, hazardous
material handling and
other emergency situations.
FRNSW Commissioner
Paul Baxter said
the graduates were a
fitting first class for the
new Academy.
“These recruits have
shown they have the
diverse skills, capabilities
and talents required
to undertake
the varied work that
our firefighters do –
from educating the
community about
fire safety and providing
emergency medical
care to responding to
natural disasters and
hazmat incidents,”
said Commissioner
Baxter.
“They’ve been trained
to be prepared for anything
and I know they
will uphold the high
standards of integrity,
courage and professionalism
expected of
a FRNSW firefighter.”
The following recruits
will take up positions
at fire stations in Sydney
and regional NSW:
Matthew Airey, Lakemba;
Kathleen Daly, The
Rocks; Sally Andrews,

Community consultation
on the proposed
development
known as The New
Heart of Ryde started
this week and
Ryde District Mums
group co-founder
Jessica Matthews
supports the development.
“It has the potential
to benefit everyone
in the community,”
she said.
“As a mother I
know how hard it
can be to find the
appropriate space
in Ryde to stage
get-togethers for
mothers groups.
“So to have new facilities
where mothers
groups can meet
on a regular basis is
terrific for the City of
Ryde.
“It will be great
that certain community
groups will also
be able to access
amazing facilities at
subsidised rates as
affordability is important
to families in
Ryde.”
Jessica joined other
mums and children
at the site on
Friday where they
got to meet Mayor
Jerome Laxale.
“Our New Heart of
Ryde would have
dedicated space for
performances, concerts,
art and functions,”
he said.
“ It will also feature
meeting rooms and
spaces for members
of the community
to utilise such as
mothers groups and
cultural groups.
“The New Heart of
Ryde is one of the
most exciting projects
undertaken by
the City of Ryde in
decades.
“It will be built for
the community and
owned by the community,
without any
residential development.
“It will also activate
the Ryde Civic Centre
site and resolve
the chronic shortage
of community space
that the City of Ryde
currently faces.”
Formal consultation
on the new vision
for the Ryde
Civic Centre site
commences this
week, with the entire
City of Ryde community
encouraged
to have their say on
the new proposal.
Once built it will
offer a four-fold increase
in community
facilities without
the introduction of
any residential development
on the
site.
“The proposal is
financially sustainable
and will not
result in increased
rates or cuts to any
services,” the Mayor
said.
“Council will also
retain complete
ownership of the
site.”
Mayor Laxale said
it is important that
all members of the
community take part
in the formal consultation
which begins
this week.
“All feedback submitted
during the
formal consultation
period will help
shape the final design
and report that
will be submitted to
Council later in the
year.”
Ratepayers and
other residents can
have a say until
Sunday 25 August.
Submissions can

22 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 26 June, 2019
Another baby step on long road to new Tigers Leagues Club
CHANGES to Inner West Council’s development controls that could
eventually allow the proposed redevelopment of the Balmain Leagues
Club Precinct were on the agenda at this week’s council meeting.
It’s the latest instalment
in a 15-year drama
that has seen the failure
of several redevelopment
proposals and financially
devastated the
former Balmain Leagues
Club.
But re-establishing
Balmain Leagues Club
will require progress in a
number of ongoing matters,
including the NSW
Government’s intention
to use the site to facilitate
tunnelling, fit-out
and spoil removal for the
West Harbour Tunnel.
Documents included in
the agenda for the council
meeting also provide
an update on the complex
arrangements of a
rescue deal allowing
Balmain Leagues Club
to remain a Wests
Tigers joint venture partner.
Facilitated and announced
by Inner West
Mayor Darcy Byrne earlier
this year, the rescue
deal involves concessions
by Heworth Constructions,
which is redeveloping
the Balmain
Leagues Club site, and
other secured creditors.
Balmain Leagues Club
administrator, Greg
Parker, confirms in a letter
to council dated 12th
June 2019, that a Deed
of Company Arrangement
between Balmain
Leagues Club and Western
Suburbs Leagues
Club has been lodged
with ASIC.
“The terms of
the DOCA are
continuing to be
progressed,” he wrote
“We have satisfied
some of the obligations
required by Liquor and
Gaming NSW in order to
progress the amalgamation.”
The deal includes Balmain
Leagues Club’s release
from responsibility
for an outstanding loan
by the NRL to Balmain
Tigers and a five year
commitment to funding
for Balmain Football
Club and its juniors.
Councillors were considering
the changes to
Part D of the Leichhardt
Development Control
Plan (DCP) 2000, to accommodate
greater development
potential for
the proposal, as The
Weekly Times was going
to press on Tuesday
night.
Heworth’s planning
proposal for the site, exhibited
publicly last year,
is on hold until council
resolves the DCP changes,
which were triggered
by the developer before
being assessed by experts,
followed by an
extensive community
engagement process.
The proposed changes
would also likely result
in Heworth submitting
amended plans to address
council and community
concerns, which
will also require public
exhibition.
Council received 106
submissions during exhibition
of the proposed
DCP changes - 7 in
support, 11 in support
with changes, 87 opposed
and one which
expressed no view.
An Inner West Council
staff report said Roads
and Maritime Services’
submission confirmed
the former Balmain
Leagues Club site remains
impacted and it
proposes to utilise it as
a temporary construction
site.
“Both Council and
RMS have investigated
alternative tunnelling
sites, and no appropriate
sites have been found,”
the report said.
Inner West Council has
strongly opposed this
proposed use of the site,
including in its recent
submission following the
release by Roads and
Maritime Services (RMS)
of its “proposed reference
design”.
Council cited the impact
on residents and
businesses from traffic
congestion, exposure to
truck diesel emissions
and noise and adverse
impact on transport services
- and the threat to
the viability of a new Tigers
Leagues Club.
“Council opposes the
use of the Tigers site as
a construction ‘dive-site’
for the Western Harbour
Tunnel,” it said in a statement
on its website.
“Council is concerned
it would result in significant
construction impacts
and would unduly
delay redevelopment of
this site, essentially eliminating
the possibility of
a Tigers Leagues Club
being established in the
new development.”

“New Tigers Super Club” which fans are
still waiting to happen.

A colourful cube and some endless
possibilities as this father and son
take on a square shaped universe
A CLEVER ten year old Melrose Park student and his father will take on the world’s
Rubik’s Cube masters when they represent Australia at the Rubik’s presents WCA World
Championship 2019 in Melbourne next month.
St Patrick’s College
Strathfield student Jack
McDonald and Brett Mc-
Donald will take on male
and female cube masters
of all ages and backgrounds
who include
China’s Yusheng Du who
holds the world record of
completing the cube puzzle
in an amazing 3.47
seconds.
Jack told The Weekly
Times he is not intimidated
by competition from
cube masters four and five
times his own age and by
the possibility of “squaring
off” with the cube masters
of Europe and the United
States.
“There is a four year old
girl from India who is better
than my dad at the moment,”
he said.
“But the more we practice
the faster we become
.. we want to be the world
champions!”
His best time is 14
seconds for solving the
complex pyramid cube
although the Australian
champion Felix Zemdegs
has set a benchmark time
of 4.22 seconds on the
standard cube.
The competition will see
a computer select the
same cube puzzles for
all competitors who start
with their hands on a mat
and then solve a selected
puzzle before placing their
hands back on the mat in
a furious race against the
clock.
“It is as much about
my (hand to eye) co-ordination
as it is about my
problem solving ability,”
Jack said.
“But there isn’t a puzzle
I haven’t been able to
solve, so I practice my
speed and my control.”
The father and son
team will also have
to face the challenge
of having their every
move scrutinised by the
world’s media.
“There will be television
coverage and with
live streaming to a possible
audience of billions of
people, worldwide,” Brett
said.
“We will stand out as father
and son entrants, but
there will be more than
300 cubers there who can
solve a puzzle in under
10 seconds, so Jack and
Brett are both very happy
to just to have qualified for
a world championship.”
The Rubik’s Cube became
a universal phenomena
when it was first
released in 1980 and is
the best selling toy of all
time.
Jack picked up his first
cube when he was nine
years old as a gift from his
grandfather.
“Once you have solved
your first puzzle it becomes
addictive and you
just get better and better
at it,” he said.
His dad – a butcher by
trade - agreed.
“I picked the cube up
at Easter and with a good
coach in Jack , who taught
me some move sets and I
got myself into a qualifying
round but I only just
snuck in.”
Like professional chess
– where moves are also
timed – cube masters
have their own unique
set of skills and tactical
abilities with Yusheng Du
known for his technique
of commencing his lightning
fast displays from the
cube corners.
There is no cheating in
the world of the cube but
it could be argued there
is “cube tampering” as
some competitors strive
for a winning edge.
“Some will lubricate
their cube to make it
faster and there are tools
to tighten or loosen the
squares,” Jack revealed.
“There are also cubes
which have micro chips
in them and these micro
chips can send messages
to devices, like
mobile phones and there
are many cube videos on
youtube.”
Brett told The Weekly
Times it is estimated
“there are a quintillion
cube combinations” and
perhaps there just as
many cube solving attempts
because every human
mind is unique and
each attempt different.
“It is an amazing championship
which includes
blind solves, clock solves,
feet cubing, one handed,
and up to seven times
seven cubes,” he said.
Once Jack completes
school he hopes to go on
to university and pursue
his dream of being a physicist,
where he will have an
opportunity to solve the
puzzles of life and the universe.
“What the Rubik’s cube
teaches me is that if you
can solve the cube you
can solve anything,” he
said.
“When you first start it
also teaches you patience
and not to give up if you
get frustrated.
“The more you practice
the better and faster you
get.”
The cube also builds
friendships.
“There is a strong community
of cubers who
share a common bond
outside of cultures and
ages, so cubers are very
supportive of each other,”
Brett said.
The championships
will be held from July 11
until July 14 and fans
can follow the action on
live stream at: https://
wc2019.speedcubing.org.
au/en/
Until then the father and
son team will be training
each day with some time
off to pursue their other
interests.
“We both love reading
The Weekly Times as our
local paper and we are
keen golfers at Ryde -
Parramatta golf course as
well,” Brett said.
Melrose Park’s Jack McDonald and his dad,
Brett, will represent Australia at the Rubik’s presents
WCA World Championship 2019 in Melbourne
next month. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO.

Hunters Hill Village celebrates
International Nurses Day
FEDERAL Member for North Sydney Trent Zimmerman made a recent
appearance at Hunters Hill Village to commemorate the work of nurses
all around the world.
The event was held in

Best juniors in NSW prepare
for Westfield Chess Challenge
NSW Junior Chess League will showcase its best young talent this
weekend at the Westfield Chess Challenge at the Event Space at Westfield
Chatswood.
The peak body for junior
chess in NSW presents
some of the brightest and
fastest NSW juniors playing
Blitz (five minutes per
player, per game), a blindfold
demonstration by a
former State Junior Champion
and a Simul, one player
challenges many during
the Challenge to be staged
this Saturday June 29 and
Sunday June 30.
It is a free community
service event for the public:
Children and adults are
welcome to be coached in
chess or compete against
one of the experienced
players.
The educational benefits
of chess include socialisation
by bringing players into
silent companionship. This
rapport provides a balance
to a child’s more boisterous
activities.
Chess games develop
enduring concentration,
under pressure and away
from electronic devices.
Mental fixing is a useful
tool for study, work deadlines,
voluntary activities
and in all relationships.
Every chess move is a
choice with immediate
consequences. Some aftereffects
are rewarding
and some have negative
repercussions.
Chess outcomes teach
children how to win and
lose gracefully. Those who
lose can rally as a stronger
player by replaying the
moves to learn from losses.
Chess obstacles develop
creativity in problem solving:
Players need a plan to
escape a flawed position
and tactics to manipulate
the opponent into an unsound
situation.
It teaches children to be
calm under pressure. All
this, and it is fun.

26 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 26 June, 2019
Celebrating 40 years
Community leaders pay tribute to John F Booth for
40 years of independent newspaper achievements
FEDERAL, state and local government leaders have
paid tribute to The Weekly Times Managing Editor John
F Booth who celebrates the 40th anniversary of ownership
of this newspaper this week.
Former Prime Ministers
John Howard sent a letter
of congratulations to Mr
Booth alongside a commendation
from Premier
Gladys Berejiklian, who
grew up in Ryde and is a
lifelong reader.
A 40th Anniversary dinner
at North Ryde RSL
Club on Friday was celebrated
with congratulatory
speeches by federal,
state and local government
dignitaries from all
major political parties and
elected independents.
Bennelong MP and tennis
legend John Alexander
said he first met Mr
Booth on the international
circuit at Wimbledon
and appreciates a friendship
that has endured for
decades and includes the
successful campaign to
save North Ryde’s Tennis
World.
“John Booth’s character
is overwhelmingly positive,
he is a classic, he
is timeless and I am so
proud that Prime Minister
Tony Abbott awarded
him the first ever Mate of
Bennelong title,” Mr Alexander
said.
North Sydney MP Trent
Zimmerman described
Mr Booth as “the master
of the group photo” and
praised his commitment
to the North Sydney electorate.
“Forty years is extraordinary
and there is something
that lifts The Weekly
Times above the pack
and that is that John
Booth is more than just
a community newspaper
editor, he is a community
leader.”
Senator Connie Connie
Fieravanti Wells
has known Mr Booth
through numerous political
campaigns waged by
The Weekly Times and
through numerous local
events hosted by Sydney’s
Italian speaking
community.
She said he is a legend
locally and nationally.
“Every time, at every
event John Booth and
his newspaper are there
to report on it and he
and his wonderful staff
have contributed not just
to this local area, but to
Australia.”
Ryde MP Victor
Dominello is another dignitary
who grew up reading
The Weekly Times
and he paid tribute to Mr
Booth’s authentic leadership,
his passion and his
vision.
Parramatta Lord Mayor
Andrew Wilson, Ryde
Mayor Jerome Laxale,
Hunters Hill Mayor Mark
Bennett and Lane Cove
Mayor Pam Palmer also
attended the dinner.
Lord Mayor Wilson said
that unlike other local
newspapers, The Weekly
Times never resorts to
syndicated news and is
highly regarded for authenticity,
uniqueness,
insight and on the spot
reporting.
“John, if ever you are
looking to expand your
newspaper further, expand
further into Parramatta
and give me a
call,” Lord Mayor Wilson
said.
Mayor Laxale paid
tribute to The Weekly
Times recent, successful
and unprecedented
campaign to defeat the
state government’s attempt
to abolish the City
of Ryde Council, Hunters
Hill Council and Lane
Cove Council in a forced
merger.
“John Booth almost
single handedly stopped
Ryde from being amalgamated
and the second
thing he did was to stop
the Ryde Civic Centre being
sold off to property
developers,” Mayor Laxale
said
“No one can question
how much John Booth
cares about the City of
Ryde.”
Lane Cove’s Independent
Mayor Pam Palmer
was elected in the wake
of the forced merger battle
that saw a huge community
backlash against
the ruling Liberal Party.
She said she has known
and respected John
Booth and Ulrike Eichmeyer
from The Weekly
Times for more than 30
years and praised them
for their commitment to
her small but close knit
municipality.
Hunters Hill Deputy
Mayor Ben Collins
(Lib) confessed that he
doesn’t always agree with
Mr Booth’s opinions.
“I actually love reading
The Weekly Times and
while I do not always like
what John Booth writes
about me, I’m working
on it!”
City of Sydney Clr Craig
Chung also spoke about
Mr Booth’s controversial
comments.
“Some say he is a mongrel,
some say he is a ratbag
but everyone says he
has got a good heart and
that he wears all these
negative descriptions as
a badge of honour,” he
said.
“John Booth keeps the
politicians honest.”
That sentiment expressed
by the dignitaries
was also reflected in
thank you speeches by
former Ryde Mayor Vic
Tagg, MC Steve Sim, local
business leader David
Hayman, Ryde celebrity
Roseanna Gallo OAM and
by Zorica Kaye-Smith
from the Lane Cove electorate
office who presented
Mr Booth with a certificate
award on behalf of
Lane Cove MP Anthony
Roberts.
The Weekly Times
thanks other political,
business, community,
club, cultural and sporting
representatives who
attended the dinner or
sent messages of congratulations.

Moocooboolah Joeys Meet
Snugglepot and Cuddlepie
IF you’ve never heard of May Gibbs, ask a Moocooboolah Joey Scout.
They are well-informed following a recent visit to May Gibbs Cottage at Neutral Bay.
Undaunted by wind and rain, seven Joey Mobs travelled by Rivercat, train and ferry
to Nutcote - the former home of May Gibbs - one of Australia’s most celebrated children’s
authors and illustrators.
Joeys, parents and leaders were treated to a guided tour of the historic cottage
where they saw period furnishings, memorabilia and original sketches and stories
from May Gibbs’ collected works.
The highlights of the day were the dress-up room and the scavenger hunt.
Although they did not get to ride on the ferry named May Gibbs, the Joey Mobs had
lots of fun on the journey, especially when the ferry rocked in the waves.

Ryde psychic confirms Gladesville site is haunted
A WELL known Ryde psychic has confirmed claims in a recent article in The
Weekly Times about an abandoned house in historic Gladesville Hospital being
haunted.
The article on Page 5 of the
April 10 edition of The Weekly
Times told the chilling story of
a British backpacker’s haunted
encounter at the historic hospital
where hundreds of colonial
era psychiatric patients are buried
in unmarked graves.
Psychic William John Hanson
toured the site last Friday night
and confirmed that the hospital
and the house are inhabited by
ghosts.
“There is the ghost of a tall
man, possibly from the late
19th century or early 20th century,
who appears as a dark and
shadowy figure and there is also
the ghost of a female domestic
servant, who may have been
murdered but does not like to
be seen ” he said.
“There is a lot of spirit activity
at the hospital and although it is
not malevalent there can sometimes
be a dark mass of energy
there that seems to be an accumulation
of all the nasty things
that occured when the hospital
was a psychiatric prison.”
Mr Hanson said there are also
the ethereal spirits of a male
and a female in a tunnel that
runs from the hospital under
Victoria Road.
“I found it hard to determine
the age these spirits were when
they passed away, their names
or the years when they died but
I did what I could do to move

them ... but some do not want
to move on.” he said.
The Ryde psychic uses a spirit
guide to help identify the spirits
of deceased people and claims
he has had “a gift” for seeing

Magic debut for hat trick hero Sialmas
A HAT trick of goals by former AEK Athens striker Dimitris Sialmas proved the highlight of
Gladesville Ryde Magic’s 6-3 victory over Western NSW Mariners in Federation NSW National
Premier League 3 action last Sunday at Christie Park.
The Magic proved that
they are a force to be reckoned
with and moved into
second spot on the competition
table, just a single
point behind the leaders.
A large vocal crowd
gathered to witness the
Gladesville Ryde Magic
debut of sharp shooter
Sialmas and weren’t disappointed
with the Greek
star coming out with all
guns blazing and bagging
three goals in a polished
performance.
Sialmas took control
of the game and demonstrated
the skills, strike
power and vision which
made him one of the most
dangerous forwards in the
Greek competition.
Other goal scorers for
Magic were Chris Gaitatzis,
Christos Tomaras and
Aaron Khan.
With the competition just
over the half way mark,
Magic have placed themselves
in a position to
make a serious tilt at winning
this year’s first grade
competition as well as the
Club Championship.
Magic’s next game
at Christie Park will be
against Bankstown United
FC on Sunday July 7.
MEANWHILE in other
news GHFA Spirit FC
drew 2-2 with neighbours
Northern Tigers.
Goals for Spirit FC were
scored by Iq and Stewart.
The draw consolidates
Spirit FC in third place on
the Federation NSW National
Premier League 2
ladder with 33 points and
within striking distance of
the leaders.

Tigers’ quick Hugh set
to pounce in Caribbean
PACE sensation Hugh Sherriff (pictured) heads a talented
batch of Sydney Tigers’ cricketers bound for the exotic island
of Barbados next month.
The 17 year old
Tigers’ first grade
spearhead is part of
the Mortlake-based
360 Cricket Academy
team that is padding
up for the annual Sir
Garfield Sobers International
Schools
U/19 Cricket Tournament
to be staged on
the Caribbean island
from July 7-22.
By CHRIS KARAS
Young gun Hugh -
the inaugural recipient
of the SCG Cricket
Sir Ron Brierley
Scholarship - is one
of the brightest prospects
in the NSW
Premier Cricket first
grade competition.
A former Australian
U/16s, NSW U/17s
and Cricket Australia
X1 Under 17 representative,
pace ace
Sherriff will lead an
exciting 360 Academy
side to be managed
and coached by
Sydney Tigers stalwart
Dan Smith.
Promising cubs like
Green Shield keeper
batsman Lachlan
Shaw, all rounder
Harrison Townsend
who helped NSW
Country/ACT clinch
the National U/17s
title and emerging
14 year old batsman
James Moore also
feature in the strong
Academy side that
is aiming to go one
better after finishing
runners up to
Combermere School
Bridgetown in last
year’s Barbados
tournament.
The Sir Ron Brierley
Scholarship will
assist Hugh with his
off-season academy
trip to the West Indies
where he’ll test
his skills against
some of the best
Barbadian cricketers
and learn to play in
different conditions.
Coach Smith said
it was a great opportunity
for Hugh
and team mates to
develop their cricket
and return as finer
players.
Named after the
great West Indies
all rounder and national
hero Sir Garry
Sobers, this annual
tournament attracts
school teams under
19 years of age to
compete with their
local, regional and
international counterparts
in St Michael.
The tournament is
based on 40-over
matches.
Since 1986 the Sir
Garfield Sobers International
Schools
Cricket Tournament
has given schoolboys
the rare opportunity
of playing
on an international
stage.
To date this tournament
has produced
the likes of former
West Indies captain
Brian Lara, Darren
Ganga, Roland
Holder and several
English and South
African test match
players.
For the best two
teams there is also
the opportunity of
playing the final at
the historic Kensington
Oval test venue
- the oldest ground
in the Caribbean -
and meeting some of
the greatest cricketers
that ever lived
in the incomparable
Sobers, Sir Everton
Weekes, Sir Wesley
Hall, Sir Charles Griffith,
Seymour Nurse,
Joel Garner and Desmond
Haynes.
After the final, a festival
game is played
between the Caribbean
teams and a
combined side from
the United Kingdom.

Conference. Photo by Mari Khamis.
Hawks’ league teams well placed for
finals charge in Combined Sydney series
RYDE EASTWOOD Under 20 rugby league team remain on track for the NSWRL Combined Sydney
Gold finals series after toppling Hills District 26-6 last Sunday at McCreadie Park Guildford.
The Hawks are entrenched
in third spot
on 21 points behind
competition pacesetters
Asquith Magpies
(24 points) and second
placed East Hills Bulldogs
(22 points) with
plenty of room for improvement.
(bold)
Versatile half back
Shannon Condon produced
another skilful
performance for the talented
Ryde Eastwood
side, showing his class
and creativity with the
ball and tenacity in defence
to earn the Player
of the Match award.
Condon was supported
by hard working
prop Callum Ellis, hooker
Blake Layton, elusive
winger Sione Tupou and
promising 18 year old
back rower Bray Guyan.
MEANWHILE the
Hawks’ all conquering
Under 18s team remains
undefeated in the
Combined Sydney Gold
competition after their
fixture against Clovelly
Crocodiles at Waverley
Oval was washed out
last weekend.
It has been a frustrating
month for the Ryde
Eastwood cubs who
have endured two washouts,
a bye and forfeit in
recent weeks.
They have won all six
matches played to date
but are keen to get back
on the field to push their
claims for the minor premiership.
Ryde Eastwood lead
the Combined Sydney
Under 18 Gold competition
on 18 points - four
points clear of second
placed St Johns Eagles
(14 points) and third
placed Newtown Jnr
Jets (14 points), Berala
Bears (13) and Clovelly
Crocodiles (9).
The Hawks’ Open Age
Womens team shares a
slice of the competition
lead in the 2019 Combined
Sydney Eastern
Open Age Womens series.
Despite a washout last
weekend, the female
Hawks are well positioned
for a title charge
on 22 points after eight
matches along with
South Sydney clubs
Redfern All Blacks (22)
and Mascot Juniors (22).
In the Sydney Shield
competition, second
placed St Marys edged
out Ryde Eastwood 30-
26 in a gripping encounter
at St Marys Leagues
Stadium last Saturday.
The Saints led 24-10
at the interval before
the Hawks rallied with
16 unanswered points
through tries by half
back Tristan Evans-Tsoi,
fullback Josh Rizk and
centre Reggie Alofipo
and two Josh Condon
conversions to grab a
26-24 lead.
Prop Dylan Fuad
crashed over for a late
try to seal a St Marys
triumph with half Dylan
White adding the extras.
Ryde Eastwood sit in
fifth spot on 18 points
behind competition
pace setters Cabramatta
(28), St Marys (23),
East Campbelltown Eagles
(22) and Guildford
Owls (22).
