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

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

Welcome<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> welcomes letters<br />

MUST be supplied, even<br />
if not for publication.<br />
Send to: <strong>TWT</strong> PO Box<br />

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

Skate park noise<br />
complaint issue<br />
Dear Sir,<br />
I was quite disappointed<br />
at my name being posted<br />
in the article re the skate<br />
park (<strong>TWT</strong> <strong>June</strong> 19 <strong>2019</strong>)<br />
and to see what is a genuine<br />
issue of noise for residents<br />
turned into an article<br />
about out of control<br />
youths.<br />
Ninety nine percent of<br />
people are well intented and<br />
oblivious to any harm they<br />
may be causing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> issue is noise and if<br />

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

Wednesday 26 <strong>June</strong>, <strong>2019</strong> THE WEEKLY TIMES 7<br />
City of Ryde statement responds to <strong>TWT</strong> article<br />
about Lane Cove’s sharing offer to Hunters Hill<br />
THE CITY of Ryde has issued a statement in response to last week’s exclusive<br />
article in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> about Lane Cove Council’s offer to share services with<br />
Hunters Hill Council.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>TWT</strong> article reports<br />
that Lane Cove has offered<br />
shared library services<br />
and depot services,<br />
which has infuriated Ryde<br />
because it has an existing<br />
shared library service<br />
agreement with Hunters<br />
Hill.<br />
“It was revealed that<br />
Lane Cove Council and<br />
Hunter’s Hill Council were<br />
set to enter into a shared<br />
service arrangement,” the<br />
City of Ryde statement<br />
said.<br />
“Under the arrangement,<br />
both councils would share<br />
key functions including<br />
library services, information<br />
technology, a works<br />
depot and senior staff.<br />
“Despite a Joint Library<br />
Agreement being in place<br />
for more than 60 years,<br />
the City of Ryde had not<br />
been consulted about<br />
the details of the shared<br />
service arrangement between<br />
Hunter’s Hill Council<br />
and Lane Cove Council<br />
and has not yet been given<br />
an opportunity to negotiate<br />
a new agreement<br />
for library services.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> statement warns<br />
that the City of Ryde will<br />
“consider options” in regard<br />
to Hunters Hill.<br />
“While the City of Ryde<br />
is extremely disappointed<br />
about the lack of consultation,<br />
Council will need<br />
to consider its options for<br />
the site if the Joint Library<br />
Agreement is terminated<br />
by Hunter’s Hill Council..<br />
“If the Agreement is terminated,<br />
the City of Ryde<br />
will need to consider the<br />
value of maintaining a<br />
service which is used by<br />
Hunters Hill residents<br />
particularly if their council<br />
was not contributing the<br />
operational costs.”<br />
A subsequent article<br />
in <strong>The</strong> Northern District<br />
<strong>Times</strong> with alleged “inaccurate<br />
and misleading<br />
quotes” was noted in the<br />
City of Ryde statement.<br />
“Speaking to the Northern<br />
District <strong>Times</strong> about<br />
the new shared service<br />
arrangement with Lane<br />
Cove Council, Hunter’s<br />
Hill Council Deputy Mayor<br />
Ben Collins said his council<br />
was overpaying by several-hundred<br />
thousand<br />
dollars due to the Joint<br />
Library Agreement.<br />
“He added that Hunters<br />
Hill residents only use six<br />
per cent of the Gladesville<br />
library service.<br />
“In the same article,<br />
Lane Cove Deputy Mayor<br />
Scott Bennison claimed<br />
the City of Ryde was<br />
gouging Hunters Hill.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> quotes attributed<br />
to both councillors are<br />
WIN! with <strong>TWT</strong>!<br />
inaccurate and misleading.””<br />
“<strong>The</strong> City of Ryde has<br />
refuted misleading claims<br />
that it is charging an unfair<br />
rate to provide library<br />
services to Hunters Hill<br />
residents.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> City of Ryde statement<br />
stressed that Hunter’s<br />
Hill Council’s expenditure<br />
on library services<br />
is lower than what is being<br />
paid by the next door<br />
neighbours.<br />
“Total expenditure for library<br />
services by Hunter’s<br />
Hill Council was $48.01<br />
per capita.<br />
“This is far lower than<br />
the expenditure for the<br />
City of Ryde at $56.83<br />
and Lane Cove at $90.83.<br />
“Not only does the City<br />
of Ryde have a higher per<br />
capita expenditure, it is<br />
arguably subsidising the<br />
cost of the library service<br />
it offers to Hunter’s Hill<br />
Council.<br />
“In addition, the claim<br />
by Clr Collins that only six<br />
per cent of Hunters Hill<br />
residents use the library<br />
service is based on the<br />
total book loans.<br />
“This is not a reasonable<br />
basis for calculating<br />
the Hunters Hill contribution<br />
as there is no correlation<br />
to the total cost of<br />
providing the service.<br />
Tune in to <strong>2019</strong> Hornsby<br />
Gang Show at Barker College<br />
“<strong>The</strong> claim also fails to<br />
consider the full range of<br />
library services provided<br />
to Hunters Hill residents,<br />
including online library,<br />
school holiday activities,<br />
free Wi-Fi, home library<br />
service and community<br />
events.”<br />
Deputy Mayor Collins<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
that book loans accurately<br />
reflects the use<br />
of City of Ryde libraries<br />
by Hunters Hill resides<br />
because book loans are<br />
the key function of a library.<br />
“I welcome Lane Cove’s<br />
offer because we live in a<br />
free market society, which<br />
is something the City of<br />
Ryde does acknowledge,”<br />
he told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> City of Ryde statement<br />
nonetheless asks if<br />
Lane Cove really can offer<br />
a better deal.<br />
“In the event that<br />
Gladesville Library ceases<br />
operation and the shared<br />
service arrangement between<br />
Hunters Hill and<br />
Lane Cove councils was<br />
formalised, Hunters Hill<br />
residents would be forced<br />
to utilise Lane Cove Library<br />
and could lose access<br />
to the City of Ryde’s<br />
extensive online library of<br />
eBooks, audiobooks and<br />
magazines.”<br />
Hunters Hill welcomes Lane<br />
Cove’s shared services offer<br />
LANE COVE Council’s proposed shared services agreement with<br />
Hunters Hill was endorsed in principle by Hunters Hill councillors on<br />
Monday night.<br />
So far the agreement<br />
includes a shared works<br />
depot, library services and<br />
two shared employee position<br />
but does not incur<br />
new costs on either council<br />
or the loss of existing<br />
jobs.<br />
It was unanimously<br />
passed by Lane Cove<br />
councillors last week but<br />
Hunters Hill councillors<br />
only endorsed it with a<br />
proviso that “substantial”<br />
future shared works come<br />
to a council meeting to be<br />
ratified by councillors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proviso reflects<br />
community concerns<br />
about Hunters Hill’s potential<br />
to lose control<br />
of local services, which<br />
emerged as a threat to<br />
the heritage municipality’s<br />
independence during<br />
the recent, failed forced<br />
merger bid.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is an understandable<br />
fear although<br />
clearly this is not a Clayton’s<br />
amalgamation,” Clr<br />
Jim Sanderson said.<br />
“I have heard community<br />
concern and if we<br />
are bringing matters back<br />
to council it gives us a<br />
chance to explain why we<br />
are doing things.”<br />
It will be up to General<br />
Manager Lisa Miscamble<br />
to decide which matters<br />
are substantial and which<br />
are small scale or operational<br />
matters.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a need for<br />
council to have a say<br />
because we are talking<br />
about an agreement, a<br />
substantive activity,” Clr<br />
Ross Williams said.<br />
“But if there is little to<br />
be gained by sharing<br />
a service it is better for<br />
those things to be done in<br />
house.”<br />
Councillor Justine<br />
McLaughlin also supports<br />
the concept of substantial<br />
cost sharing items being<br />
scrutinised by councillors.<br />
“We are the public face<br />
of Hunters Hill and if we do<br />
not know anything about it<br />
we cannot represent the<br />
community,” she said.<br />
“This provides assurances<br />
to the community.”<br />
*****<br />
RESIDENTS who live<br />
near St Joseph’s College<br />
and Villa Maria Catholic<br />
School will be consulted<br />
on proposed traffic<br />
changes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposed changes<br />
include the location of a<br />
pedestrian crossing and<br />
parking spaces and may<br />
include bus access.<br />
Hunters Hill councillors<br />
have studied traffic committee<br />
recommendations<br />
for the area and consultation<br />
has taken place with<br />
both schools.<br />
Councillor Ross Williams<br />
on Monday night<br />
moved a successful motion<br />
to consult the residents.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re has been consultation<br />
with the schools<br />
and not with the residents<br />
and the residents will hold<br />
us accountable,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are legitimate issues<br />
that need to be addressed.”<br />

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

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

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

Message to<br />
John Booth AM<br />
I wish to congratulate<br />
John on 40 years of ownership<br />
at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
John and the staff at <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> should be<br />
extremely proud of their<br />
hard work and commitment<br />
to providing independent<br />
local news to the community<br />
in the North Western<br />
districts of Sydney.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> is<br />
quintessential local news<br />
publication and this is<br />
also a celebration for its<br />
loyal readers. In my eight<br />
years as Member for<br />
Drummoyne, I have seen<br />
firsthand the real sense of<br />
pride across the community<br />
for the publication.<br />
This is because <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> is so passionate<br />
about important grassroots<br />
issues in the greater Ryde<br />
area.<br />
Once again, I congratulate<br />
John on this significant<br />
milestone at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong>.<br />
I wish John and the staff<br />
all they very best in the<br />
future.<br />
Keep fighting the good<br />
fight, you Tigers supporter.<br />

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

16 THE WEEKLY TIMES Wednesday 26 <strong>June</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />
Celebrating 40 years<br />
Behind the scenes with<br />
our Managing Editor JB<br />
THE WEEKLY TIMES Managing Editor John F Booth AM answers questions put to him<br />
by readers across <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> territory.<br />
Q: You have won many<br />
awards in the last forty<br />
years, which do you regard<br />
as your most significant ? –<br />
J.M (Putney).<br />
A: Being recognised by<br />
the Queen with the Australia<br />
Medal was significant and<br />
being awarded the first ever<br />
“Mate Of Bennelong” by<br />
Prime Minister Tony Abbott<br />
was also memorable. Rotary<br />
awarded me Paul Harris<br />
Fellowships and I am proud<br />
of all my awards for service<br />
to the Scouts and Guides<br />
and for supporting our local<br />
emergency and other<br />
services. I have also been<br />
a Ryde Citizen of the Year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> is a multi<br />
award winning newspaper<br />
and it is always a honour to<br />
be recognised by the Australian<br />
media for this newspaper’s<br />
outstanding contribution<br />
to the print industry.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> has also<br />
received many awards for<br />
contributions to the community,<br />
most recently in 2016<br />
when my newspaper was<br />
awarded the City of Ryde’s<br />
Event Of <strong>The</strong> Year during the<br />
Centenary of Anzac.<br />
Q: You have taken on<br />
Federal, State and Local<br />
governments and won<br />
many battles for the local<br />
community, which were<br />
your toughest fights? - A.P<br />
(Boronia Park)<br />
A: Every year for 40 years<br />
my newspaper has fought<br />
and defeated bad government<br />
decisions, gutless<br />
politicians and wrongdoers.<strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> has<br />
twice fought – and defeated<br />
– state government attempts<br />
to abolish Hunters Hill and<br />
merge it into Ryde. My recent<br />
and successful campaign<br />
to save the Ryde Civic<br />
Centre from being sold off to<br />
property developers led to<br />
a pro-development mayor<br />
being toppled by his own<br />
party. I have also defeated<br />
many attempts to destroy<br />
our clubs, close our schools<br />
and cut our services. Some<br />
of my most important wins<br />
have been on behalf of individuals<br />
fighting the system<br />
and I have never been afraid<br />
to stand for truth, justice and<br />
a fair go, often despite powerful<br />
opposition and many<br />
failed attempts to force me<br />
to back down.<br />
Q: You’ve achieved just<br />
about everything there is<br />
to achieve in forty years, is<br />
it difficult to set new goals<br />
and challenges? - H.G (Epping)<br />
A: My goals and challenges<br />
are the same as they<br />
were when I first became<br />
managing editor. That is, to<br />
lead a fiercely independent<br />
local paper that fearlessly<br />
upholds the truth, fights for<br />
our community and makes<br />
a positive impact in local life<br />
and in the lives of my readers.<br />
I have also risen to the<br />
Thank You &<br />
Congratulations<br />
on 40 years of service!<br />

challenge of publishing an<br />
attractive, diverse and highly<br />
respected newspaper that<br />
is delivered on time, every<br />
time to every local home<br />
and business each week. An<br />
important goal is to continue<br />
to support local business<br />
because business is our life<br />
blood. People advertise with<br />
me because <strong>TWT</strong> is widely<br />
read, valued and respected.<br />
My businesses partners include<br />
clubs, governments,<br />
politicians and corporations<br />
but they also include trades<br />
people whose survival and<br />
growth depends on being<br />
promoted in <strong>TWT</strong>.<br />
Q: You have given a start<br />
to many talented local<br />
young people who have<br />
gone on to become famous,<br />
particularly in field<br />
of sport and in the entertainment<br />
industry. Why is<br />
it important to give local<br />
people a go? - M.K (North<br />
Ryde).<br />
A: We have also helped<br />
launch the stellar careers<br />
of local artists, academics,<br />
health professionals, scientists<br />
and community leaders.<br />
Many local people honoured<br />
by the Queen have previously<br />
appeared in a <strong>TWT</strong><br />
story! <strong>The</strong> world famous<br />
“Yellow Wiggle” Emma Watkins<br />
started her career as a<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> Miss Eastwood Granny<br />
Smith Festival Queen. Emma<br />
exemplifies the influence my<br />
newspaper has when it supports<br />
and promotes aspiring<br />
young people. Many other<br />
local achievers - like Premier<br />
Gladys Berejiklian and Ryde<br />
MP Victor Dominello - grew<br />
up reading <strong>TWT</strong> and many<br />
articles and photo stories<br />
continue to inspire local people<br />
to pursue their dreams.<br />
Q: You have never missed<br />
a one hundredth birthday<br />
or a significant milestone<br />
in the lives of your readers,<br />
how do you manage to find<br />
out so much about local<br />
people? - L.S (Gladesville).<br />
A: In the last 40 years I have<br />
met and worked with most of<br />
them but it says a lot about<br />
our readers’ respect and appreciation<br />
for this newspaper<br />
that they tell us their stories<br />
and want to see their friends<br />
and families recognised by<br />
me. Many famous locals,<br />
like Gladesville celebrity<br />

Wright AM and legends from<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Rotary Club of North Ryde<br />
congratulates John Booth on his 40th<br />
Anniversary of <strong>TWT</strong>. Thank you John<br />
for your ongoing support of the Rotary<br />
Club of North Ryde!”<br />
MORNING ROTARY MEETINGS MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR DAY<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rotary Club of North Ryde meets in the morning from 7:15 to 8:15am before work or<br />

We begin the day with a fine breakfast, good companionship and productive plans to help the<br />
community.<br />
Once a month we enjoy a social occasion and network with other local business and<br />
community leaders.<br />
JOIN US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR LIFE AND TO OTHERS<br />
On the first three Fridays of each month we meet from 7:15 am - 8:15am<br />
at Dunmore Lang College, 130-134 Herring Road, North Ryde, parking<br />
on site or just two minutes from Macquarie University transport hub.<br />
Contact the Club Secretary on 0404082611 or email<br />
northryderotary@gmail.com<br />
See our website www.northryderotary.com for more information.<br />
the Balmain Tigers give their<br />
time and talent to support<br />
the events I have founded,<br />
hosted and promoted. I am<br />
proud to acknowledge the<br />
contributions local people<br />
make to our local community<br />
and especially the contribution<br />
of those men and women<br />
who made the ultimate<br />
sacrifice in wartime. It was an<br />
honour for me to be recently<br />
chosen to present the City of<br />
Ryde banner to the people<br />
of France and Belgium at<br />
places of significance to the<br />
fallen soldiers from <strong>TWT</strong> territory<br />
in <strong>The</strong> Great War 1914<br />
– 1918.<br />
Q: Do you enjoy your job<br />
as managing editor? - P.P<br />
(Concord West).<br />
A: Yes! This newspaper<br />
started as a small four page<br />
newspaper in Gladesville<br />
and since I took it over as<br />
managing editor it has grown<br />
in size and quality to become<br />
nationally and internationally<br />
famous for well informed and<br />
hard hitting news coverage.<br />
What I enjoy most is that<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> is an integral part of the<br />
community. So many people<br />
tell me how much they look<br />
forward to <strong>TWT</strong> being delivered<br />
in their homes and businesses<br />
every Wednesday. I<br />
enjoy watching our small and<br />
loyal advertisers grow and<br />
our clubs, services and organisations<br />
continue to prosper.<br />
I also enjoy sponsoring<br />
and promoting events, like<br />
the Granny Smith Festival<br />
and Moocooboola which<br />
have grown to become major<br />
events which now attract<br />
tens of thousands of people<br />
each year. My own events –<br />
such as the <strong>TWT</strong> Sports Star<br />
Of <strong>The</strong> Year Awards and the<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> Miss Eastwood Granny<br />
Smith Festival pageant –<br />
continue to grow in popularity<br />
and are highly competitive.<br />
Q: What impact has multiculturalism<br />
had? - L.C<br />
(Eastwood)<br />
A: I have met many migrants<br />
who tell me they<br />
learned English by reading<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong>! Amazing!<br />
I have also met many more<br />
who tell me that reading <strong>TWT</strong><br />
each week makes them feel<br />
proud they have chosen to<br />
live in our community. Publishing<br />
important community<br />
information lets recently arrived<br />
people know what is<br />
happening locally and gives<br />
them access to a new community<br />
they would not otherwise<br />
have. When I took over<br />
this newspaper I could not<br />
imagine that cultural events<br />
like Eastwood’s Asian Lunar<br />
Year would dominate our<br />
front pages, become world<br />
famous and be so enthusiastically<br />
supported by the<br />
wider local community. I also<br />
value our readership in the<br />
Italian, Armenian, Persian,<br />
Korean and Indian speaking<br />
communities and of course I<br />
am proud to recognise Hunters<br />
Hill’s French heritage.<br />
Q: <strong>The</strong> One-Eyed Tiger<br />
has been your loyal mascot<br />
for 40 years but what is<br />
he like to work with? - M.T<br />
(West Ryde)<br />
A: Past and present Tiger<br />
players and fans adore him<br />
and he represents all that<br />
makes our club the greatest<br />
club of all. He has never<br />
missed a game in 40 years<br />
and he even toured Britain<br />
with me. His knowledge of<br />
the Tigers first grade and<br />
junior teams is unsurpassed<br />
and he is part of the culture<br />
and the history of the club. I<br />
remember his first week with<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> as a cub reporter when<br />
From page 9<br />
“In 1965, he became disillusioned<br />
with a number of<br />
questionable activities inside<br />
Ryde Council and resigned,”<br />
Mr Hayman added.<br />
“ He then commenced a<br />
two year campaign for the<br />
establishment of an Ombudsman,<br />
which is an independent<br />
officer to investigate<br />
the actions of public officials.<br />
“He was subsequently<br />
appointed as Australia’s first<br />
Ombudsman and as a result<br />
of his efforts, an Ombudsman<br />
now exists in every state<br />
and territory throughout Australia<br />
and all because he took<br />
the initiative to lead a fact<br />
finding mission to Denmark<br />
where the idea flourished<br />
from its Swedish origins.”<br />
John Booth has a close association<br />
with landmarks adjoining<br />
the Parramatta River<br />
and the craft that sail on it,<br />
Mr Hayman said.<br />
“He lobbied the state government<br />
to name the river cat<br />
ferries after famous Australian<br />
female athletes and now<br />
all the river cat ferries now<br />
proudly wear the names<br />
of Betty Cuthbert, Shane<br />
Gould, Yvonne Goolagong,<br />
Marlene Mathews and the<br />
like.<br />
“He was also the Foundation<br />
President for the Wallumetta<br />
Ryde District Business<br />
and Professional Men’s Club<br />
and was the first to lead the<br />
successful campaign to honour<br />
and restore the gravesite<br />
of the colonial Aboriginal<br />
leader Bennelong, in Putney.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> long serving <strong>TWT</strong> managing<br />
editor has also been<br />
prominent at the heart of<br />
community cultural life.<br />
“He created many annual<br />
community events such as<br />
<strong>The</strong> North Ryde Carols by<br />
Candlelight Spectacular, the<br />
West Ryde Easter Parade &<br />
Fair, the Ryde River’s Festival,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gladesville Christmas<br />
Festival, the Granny<br />
Smith Quest Pageant and<br />
numerous other events and<br />
competitions.<br />
“As the proprietor and<br />
editor of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
since 1979, he has been<br />
dedicated to serving and<br />
supporting local people, local<br />
schools, aged care groups,<br />
sporting groups, returned<br />
and service men and women<br />
scouts, guides, police,<br />
hospitals, charities, Rotary,<br />
he explained to me why it<br />
would be impossible for him<br />
to report on a Tigers’ loss ..<br />
he said it is because you’ll always<br />
be a winner when you<br />
support Balmain! This is the<br />
spirit he brings to this newspaper<br />
every week.<br />
Q: How does your cultural<br />
heritage influence your<br />
work? - G.K (Woolwich)<br />
A: In the 40 years I have<br />
served as managing editor<br />
I have given a voice to all<br />
faiths and denominations<br />
that serve our community,<br />
particularly through charitable<br />
works. Many of my<br />
readers live in aged care villages,<br />
are housebound or<br />
are in hospital. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weekly</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> is their main link with<br />
the local community. This is<br />
why I place great importance<br />
on the things in our community<br />
we value, the things that<br />
make people laugh, cry and<br />
feel outraged and (especially) NSW<br />
those things that are a living LIBERALS<br />
part of our shared cultural<br />
heritage.<br />
Q: Is their a woman in<br />
your life? - K.K (Rydalmere)<br />
A: My mother and grandmother<br />
have had an enormous<br />
influence on my life<br />
and career. It is impossible<br />
to work in the media these<br />
days without being linked<br />
to a celebrity and most recently<br />
I was linked with Paris<br />
Hilton, whom I first met at<br />
Birkenhead Point and who<br />
NSW<br />
LIBERALS<br />
NSW<br />
service industries, the arts,<br />
historic properties and societies.<br />
parks, playing fields,<br />
sports, transport, infrastructure,<br />
businesses, governments<br />
and health services,”<br />
Mr Hayman added.<br />
“Always at the forefront<br />
of community events, <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Weekly</strong> <strong>Times</strong> was awarded<br />
<strong>The</strong> City of Ryde’s Event of<br />
the Year for the Commemoration<br />
of the Centenary of<br />
Anzac as well as Hunters<br />
Hill’s Event of the Year for<br />
the restoration and relocation<br />
of a World War One German<br />
Howitzer.”<br />
Mr Hayman notes that<br />
Mr Booth is a local legend<br />
among Balmain Tigers fans<br />
alongside his mascot, the famous<br />
One-Eyed Tiger.<br />
“John Booth was also a<br />
member of the Balmain Tigers<br />
original promotions<br />
committee that started<br />
the first Tigers Grand Final<br />
Luncheon which continues<br />
today.”<br />
His many media awards<br />
include the National Best<br />
Editorial for a Community<br />
Newspaper for his revealing<br />
expose of the Macquarie<br />
Community College titled<br />
Where Have All the Students<br />
Gone.<br />
This Community Newspapers<br />
of Australia award<br />
follows many other including<br />
his 2013 Award for Best<br />
Community Service by a Local<br />
Newspaper.<br />
His previous awards include<br />
Best Advertisement<br />
(2010), Best Editorial (2008),<br />
Best Colour Advertisement<br />
(2007), Best Spot Colour Advertisement<br />
(2007), Best Advertising<br />
Campaign (2007),<br />
Best Spot Colour Advertisement<br />
(2006), Best Editorial<br />
(2005) and the Community<br />
Service Award in 2003.<br />
“He was named Citizen of<br />
the Year by Ryde City Council<br />
for community service and<br />
his service to scouting.”<br />
In 2001 his work for the<br />
community saw him recognised<br />
by Prime Minister John<br />
Howard with the Australian<br />
Centenary Medal for service<br />
to the Australian community.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> world of politics and<br />
business across Northern<br />
Sydney has been shaped<br />
by John Booth who served<br />
as President of the Ryde<br />
Chamber of Commerce and<br />
was foundation president of<br />
the Wallumetta Ryde District<br />
has posted flattering comments<br />
about me on her Facebook<br />
page! Some readers<br />
might remember I dated<br />
Olympic Gold Medalist Betty<br />
Cuthbert! One of the best<br />
things about my job is that<br />
I get to meet women who<br />
have made – and continue<br />
to make - outstanding contributions<br />
to the people and<br />
communities they serve. And<br />
<strong>TWT</strong> readers would know<br />
the enormous contribution<br />

Business and Professional<br />

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

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

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

Community consultation<br />
on the proposed<br />
development<br />
known as <strong>The</strong> New<br />
Heart of Ryde started<br />
this week and<br />
Ryde District Mums<br />
group co-founder<br />
Jessica Matthews<br />
supports the development.<br />
“It has the potential<br />
to benefit everyone<br />
in the community,”<br />
she said.<br />
“As a mother I<br />
know how hard it<br />
can be to find the<br />
appropriate space<br />
in Ryde to stage<br />
get-togethers for<br />
mothers groups.<br />
“So to have new facilities<br />
where mothers<br />
groups can meet<br />
on a regular basis is<br />
terrific for the City of<br />
Ryde.<br />
“It will be great<br />
that certain community<br />
groups will also<br />
be able to access<br />
amazing facilities at<br />
subsidised rates as<br />
affordability is important<br />
to families in<br />
Ryde.”<br />
Jessica joined other<br />
mums and children<br />
at the site on<br />
Friday where they<br />
got to meet Mayor<br />
Jerome Laxale.<br />
“Our New Heart of<br />
Ryde would have<br />
dedicated space for<br />
performances, concerts,<br />
art and functions,”<br />
he said.<br />
“ It will also feature<br />
meeting rooms and<br />
spaces for members<br />
of the community<br />
to utilise such as<br />
mothers groups and<br />
cultural groups.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> New Heart of<br />
Ryde is one of the<br />
most exciting projects<br />
undertaken by<br />
the City of Ryde in<br />
decades.<br />
“It will be built for<br />
the community and<br />
owned by the community,<br />
without any<br />
residential development.<br />
“It will also activate<br />
the Ryde Civic Centre<br />
site and resolve<br />
the chronic shortage<br />
of community space<br />
that the City of Ryde<br />
currently faces.”<br />
Formal consultation<br />
on the new vision<br />
for the Ryde<br />
Civic Centre site<br />
commences this<br />
week, with the entire<br />
City of Ryde community<br />

the new proposal.<br />
Once built it will<br />
offer a four-fold increase<br />
in community<br />
facilities without<br />
the introduction of<br />
any residential development<br />
on the<br />
site.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> proposal is<br />
financially sustainable<br />
and will not<br />
result in increased<br />
rates or cuts to any<br />
services,” the Mayor<br />
said.<br />
“Council will also<br />
retain complete<br />
ownership of the<br />
site.”<br />
Mayor Laxale said<br />
it is important that<br />
all members of the<br />
community take part<br />
in the formal consultation<br />
which begins<br />

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

“New Tigers Super Club” which fans are<br />
still waiting to happen.

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

between 1820 and 1900, over<br />

When the state government<br />

clear the overgrown and abandoned<br />

knew they had to act quickly or<br />
this incredible history of Sydney’s<br />

According to exhibition curator<br />
Elise Edmonds, the Fosters<br />
spent every free moment over<br />
two years meticulously documenting<br />
mostly the Church of<br />

cemetery.<br />
This was the largest among<br />

Hunters Hill Village celebrates<br />
International Nurses Day<br />
FEDERAL Member for North Sydney Trent Zimmerman made a recent<br />
appearance at Hunters Hill Village to commemorate the work of nurses<br />
all around the world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event was held in<br />
honour of International<br />
Nurses Day, celebrating<br />
the work of nurses<br />
and the aged care<br />
home’s staff with guest<br />
speakers and a high<br />
tea for those visiting.<br />
Mr Zimmerman, who<br />
was invited to give a<br />
speech on the day,<br />
said a few words on<br />
the selfless work of the<br />
nurses.<br />
Afterwards, he was<br />
given an oil painting by<br />
one of the home’s residents<br />
to thank him for<br />
his appearance on the<br />
day and his kind words.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hunters Hill Village<br />
staff had reached<br />
out to Mr Zimmerman<br />
after the federal election.<br />
Residents of the<br />
home had almost<br />
unanimously voted for<br />
Mr Zimmerman and<br />
they were overjoyed<br />
when he was elected<br />
their member for North<br />
Sydney.<br />
<strong>The</strong> staff contacted<br />
his office and invited<br />
him to the Hunters Hill<br />
High Tea event and<br />
they were delighted<br />
when he was able to<br />
attend.<br />
Sadhna Shah, Recreational<br />
Activities Officer<br />
at Hunters Hill Village,<br />
said the day was<br />
important to “celebrate<br />
International Nurses<br />
Day and to say thank<br />
you to all the staff for<br />
the wonderful work<br />
they are doing.”<br />
Paul Laing, whose<br />
relative is a resident,<br />
was invited as a guest<br />
speaker. He said a<br />
few touching words<br />
about the service of<br />
nurses, and how much<br />
they contribute to the<br />
lives of families. Paul<br />
thanked the Hunter’s<br />
Hill Staff for the way<br />
they cared for Alan<br />
Rowling who he cares<br />
for..<br />

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

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

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

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

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

<strong>The</strong> draw consolidates<br />
Spirit FC in third place on<br />
the Federation NSW National<br />

ladder with 33 points and<br />

By CHRIS KARAS<br />
Young gun Hugh -<br />
the inaugural recipient<br />
of the SCG Cricket<br />
Sir Ron Brierley<br />
Scholarship - is one<br />
of the brightest prospects<br />
in the NSW<br />
Premier Cricket first<br />
grade competition.<br />
A former Australian<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sir Ron Brierley<br />

trip to the West Indies<br />
where he’ll test<br />
his skills against<br />

different conditions.<br />
Coach Smith said<br />
it was a great opportunity<br />
for Hugh<br />
and team mates to<br />

<strong>The</strong> tournament is<br />
based on 40-over<br />

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