-JOHN F BOOTH 

I hope you’re staying nice and warm as we experience the cold wintry weather, 

at least the solstice has passed, meaning the days are getting longer and our 

sunsets later and later as we move towards Spring in about five weeks (and 

three days) time. 

TAX CUTS 

The new tax package passed parliament earlier this month, so please submit 

your tax return as soon as possible so you can potentially reap the benefits 

of a tax offset of up to $1080. The ATO website has not crashed for a while 

now so all good! 

Those on taxable incomes between $48,000 and $90,000 will get the full 

$1080 offset. 

For those between $90,000 and $126,000 the offset will gradually reduce to 

$0. 

Lower income people earning between $37,000 and $48,000 will get an 

offset ranging from $255 to the full $1080. 

Those on incomes up to $37,000 the offset will gradually rise to $255. 

These are offsets paid against tax already contributed. They’re not handouts, 

they’re designed to support low and middle income tax payers - with tax 

relief. 

Around 78,800 locals on low and middle incomes in Bennelong will qualify 

for a tax offset, with about 29,650 set to receive the full tax offset of $1,080. 

SHOP LOCAL 

The tax cuts are great news for locals and the local economy. 

You can assist even more by shopping local! 

Supporting local shops actually brings many benefits to the community, 

including: a safer neighbourhood, better services, a belonging sense of 

community, local jobs, and better valued homes. 

I have a monthly shop local campaign called the Bennelong Village Business 

campaign, for July we’re focusing on the Five Ways shops. If you live near Five 

Ways, I ask you to drop in and buy what you need, you never know, you could 

run into someone you know! (Shout out to Dr Wright!) 

And that goes for any one of the many local shopping villages 

sprinkled throughout Bennelong, you can make them even 

more vibrant by shopping local!

Extension to river 

walk welcomed 

Dear Sir, 

My family and I are writing 

to express not only our 

excitement and joy, but our 

streets and adjoining streets 

excitement and joy in hearing 

the news that The City of 

Ryde Council plans to complete 

the “Ryde River Walk’s” 

missing link board walk between 

Ross Street and Bill 

Mitchell Park in Gladesville. 

My wife and I are parents of 

two young boys and two dogs 

who live in close proximity to 

Glades Bay and frequent the 

board walk and Bill Mitchell 

Park. 

It is a fantastic community 

facility for all to use and appreciate 

our beautiful living Parramatta 

river and surrounding 

bushland. 

Our entire family will regularly 

(2-3 times a week) walk along 

the boardwalk and without a 

doubt, every time say how lucky 

we are to live in such a beautiful 

area with such amazing natural 

resources. 

We will often pick up litter 

along our walk which has 

washed up on our way to Bill 

Mitchell Park to kick a soccer 

ball and enjoy the magnificent 

views our area has. 

Currently as it is too dangerous 

to walk along a 45 degree 

rock wall, with a 2.5 year old and 

a six month old, we will head up 

and walk along the street, once 

again not 100 percent safe as it 

is a long road ways. 

This is because the board 

walk stops shy of the park. 

To have the boardwalk extended 

along the waterfront 

would be amazing now and a 

long way in to the future and utilised 

by countless community 

members. 

I feel it re connects people 

with the natural environment, 

promotes good health and well 

being, and is an opportunity

Letters to the Editor 

few years ago when the majority 

of the board walk was commissioned. 

I feel it was really selfish of 

the handful of people, who apparently 

own to the water line 

(whom I have never seen down 

anywhere near it), putting an objections 

in which takes away access 

to the water way which the 

entire communities own. 

I completely support and 

am proud to hear our Mayor 

Jarome Laxale and Councillors 

- in particular Penny Pedersen 

whom I had a conversation with 

at a recent sustainability festival, 

about this very matter, are 

fighting for the vast majority of 

people who will benefit from this 

additional infrastructure. 

The councils integrity I think 

should be commended also, 

that although their initial attempt 

was unsuccessful, they have 

persisted and rallied for the 

greater good, to get it across 

the line. 

To quote Jerome “Our waterfront 

should be available to everyone, 

not just a few”. 

If required I am more than 

happy to assist in any way to 

ensure this fantastic initiative 

gets over the line. 

Please feel free to contact me 

in any way. Regards a passionate

Dear Sir, 

When Clive Palmers’ Nickel 

mine collapsed the Government 

paid those who had 

worked 10 years in his mine 

full pay. 

Those who worked nine years 

or less were not paid. 

Clive Palmer spent at least 

$50 billion on his compaign 

ads. So he could have easily 

paid them back. 

The liquidators have taken 

him to court. Clive used We 

Chata Chinese version of Facebook 

to say Labor was charging 

death taxes and bringing thousands 

of people from the Middle 

East. 

Labor denied these allegations, 

but like Facebook this 

remained to the end of the campaign. 

Negative gearing was for 

new homes only. The Grattan 

Institute endorsed this idea. It 

did not include existing homes. 

Under the present government 

you can buy new homes, 

but if you sell a home you don’t 

live in you pay capital gains tax. 

At the present moment the 

government has to deal with 

retirees’ deeming rates tax. 

The retirees demand deeming 

overhaul despite rate cut. The 

system had to be changed so 

that an independent authority 

set deeming rates Mr.Henschke 

said. 

They’ve saved probably at 

least $1 billion by not moving 

the deeming rate since 2015. 

That’s four years and four 

months that they have used 

pensioners to fix the budget. 

Laura Tingle an economist on 

the Insiders said the deeming 

rate was a dud deal. The Bureau 

of Statistics said the division between 

the rich and the poor has 

widened. 

Scott Morrison reminds me 

a little of the President Donald 

Trump, although not as extreme. 

He sometimes wears a cap. 

He ran his campaign in presidential 

mode. Donald Trump 

asked Scott Morrison to dinner 

at the White House during 

theG20 Meeting. This will be the 

second time Scott Morrison has 

had dinner at the White House 

with President Donald Trump. 

MARIE WOOLNOUGH 

Ermington, 

Low interest rates 

causes job losses 

Dear Sir, 

Every time we open the paper 

or turn on the TV we see 

another company retail closure 

with their losses of many 

jobs. 

No one stops to think or won’t 

admit that it is caused by the 

ridiculously low interest rates. 

When the rates go down to zero 

the retirees have no income to 

spend in the shops on themselves 

and their grandchildren. 

I am a senior who has worked 

all my life and saved for my retirement 

so that I would not be 

dependent on handouts from 

the government. 

I could go into any store and 

buy items for myself and my 

family. 

I would regularly buy things 

for my grandchildren and while 

shopping would see friends and 

acquaintances in the shops too. 

I gradually went down from 

Myer and DJs to K Mart and 

Millers as well. Now I have had 

to give up altogether and so I’m 

told by all these people that they 

have to do the same. 

When will the powers that be 

admit that they are reliant on the 

senior’s spending to stay afloat. 

Put up the rates to a normal 

level and see what happens to 

the economy. 

When we bought our house 

the rates were 16 percent and 

the market was booming. We 

managed to pay it all off without 

too much trouble. 

DIANA KRAUS 

Epping 

Genuine care for 

constituents 

Dear Sir, 

It’s good to see Victor 

Dominello still fighting 

against Meriton’s 60 storey 

behemoth. 

While, many in the community 

were worried that Victor would 

forget about the community or 

concede to Meriton upon being 

re-elected, it is now clear that 

Victor genuinely cares about 

his constituents and is serious 

about stopping Harry Triguboff 

and other powerful developers. 

Harry Triguboff continues attacking 

Victor, and Victor continues 

to fight back on behalf of 

his community. 

Mr Triguboff even states that 

Victor is uncontrollable. I think 

the community would call it an 

endorsement for a politician if 

corporate and lobbyist interests 

couldn’t control a leading Government 

Minister. 

Australians have been waiting 

a long time for a politician 

like this. A politician who would 

put his community first, despite 

what corporate interests may 

try and throw at them. 

The world is in need of these 

types of leaders and politicians. 

Politicians like Victor who will 

not be bribed or influenced by 

corporate interests. 

Thank you Victor for refusing 

to give in to corporate interests. 

Keep up the great work Victor!

Hunters Hill- a Bloomin’ 

beautiful 2019 Spring Ball 

HUNTERS HILL Mayor 

Mark Bennett will be 

hosting the 2019 Mayoral 

Spring Ball on Saturday 

September 14 in 

our beautiful Town Hall. 

After a 17 year hiatus, 

Mayor Bennett is 

delighted to reactivate 

an event which, in the 

past, has hosted guests 

of honour such as Prime 

Minister John Howard 

and has been symbolic 

of the warm and proud 

relationship Hunters Hill 

Council shares with our 

community. 

Small but mighty. 

This year, there will be 

a fundraising aspect to 

the ball as we seek to 

raise enough dollars to 

match a generous grant 

to design and build an 

inclusive play-space at 

Boronia Park. 

Lane Cove MP 

Anthony Roberts, as 

our local state minister 

and under his previous 

portfolio in Planning, 

developed the 

“Everyone Can Play” 

guidelines and grant 

funding to encourage 

better design in our 

open spaces so that 

everyone can stay and 

play. 

* * * 

SOMETIMES people 

ask me what a disabled 

playground will look like 

and I’m always happy 

to have a conversation 

about Universal Design 

Principles. 

These principles don’t 

work from a place 

of making spaces 

accessible to “disabled” 

people, they work from 

a place of making all 

To The POINT 

with Clr ELIZABETH KRASSOI 

spaces accessible to 

ALL people, for the 

benefit of everyone. 

Youth, teens, ageing 

and working people of 

all manner of ability. 

We want everyone who 

comes to this space to 

feel safe, welcome and 

engaged. 

It is our hope that 

the final elements of 

our first universally 

designed playspace 

will reflect the core 

values of the Everyone 

Can Play guide: “Can I 

get there? Can I Play? 

Can I stay?”. Is there 

safe, accessible and 

adequate parking? Are 

there challenging and 

engaging activities for 

a variety of ages and 

physical needs? Is 

there shade, drinking 

water, comfortable 

places to sit? 

* * * 

INTERESTINGLY, after 

several community 

consultation sessions, 

these are the priorities 

raised by residents of 

all ages without them 

ever having heard 

of Minister Roberts 

fantastic guidelines! 

So, the stars have 

lined up! 

A small, but 

enthusiastic, group of 

local residents have 

kindly given their time 

over the past year 

to form an Inclusive 

Playspace Committee 

and to meet and work 

through our goals to 

ensure that when our 

space is built, the 

whole community will 

be proud and excited. 

Certainly, as the year 

has progressed and I 

have been privileged 

enough to learn more 

about how Australians 

support each other 

around inclusion, I am 

excited to know that 

in this place, local 

residents of all ages will 

feel safe and welcome 

and able to enjoy our 

beautiful parks and the 

company of others in 

our community without 

impediment. 

It’s certainly the 

proudest project to be 

a part of.

support the playspace 

to win grant funding,

Experts urge government to remove 

radioactive waste in Nelson Parade 

TWO highly respected environmentalists urged the state government 

to remove the toxic waste in Nelson Parade, Hunters Hill 

during a public meeting in Woolwich last Sunday morning. 

Around forty residents 

attended the 

Weil Park meeting 

where the former CEO 

of the Environmental 

Planning Authority 

Barry Buffier and 

state environmental 

consultant Dr Bill Ryall 

both expressed 

concern at a Property 

NSW preferred option 

to bury the waste on 

site and under concrete. 

Mayor Mark Bennett 

and former Mayor 

Richard Quinn also 

expressed concern 

about burying the 

waste on site, as did 

Nelson Parade Action 

Group President 

Philippa Clark. 

Mr Quinn has been 

a strong critic of the 

state government’s 

refusal to move the 

waste to the Kemps 

Creek storage facility, 

which he claims is because 

Kemps Creek is 

in the marginal western 

Sydney electorate 

of Mulgoa where 

voters would resent 

waste for the “silver 

tail” municipality of 

Hunters Hill being 

dumped on their turf. 

Mr Buffier blasted 

the waste burial proposal 

as “the fourth 

best option” and Dr 

Ryall said Property 

NSW has no idea how 

much radioactive material 

will require encapsulation. 

The option favoured 

by Mr Buffier is to 

send the waste to the 

Kemp’s Creek storage 

facility. 

“This position has

places.

been ruled out for 

political reasons,” Ms 

Clark said. 

“The second preferred 

option is for the 

material to be sent to 

a newly developed 

facility which is due 

to commence operations 

in nine months 

or to send to a suitable 

temporary storage 

location.” 

Doctor Ryall has 

been a site auditor 

on a number of major 

sites that have 

required decontamination 

and warned 

of traffic and other 

problems that could 

impact on Woolwich 

if the waste burial option 

goes ahead. 

“He emphasised that 

the local community 

should not underestimate 

the size of this 

job which is the reverse 

of the cell construction 

project,” Ms 

Clark said. 

“Approvals would 

be required combined 

with all the issues of 

traffic, noise, parking, 

dust control and 

general construction 

issues. 

“He also addressed 

another important issue 

of whether these 

storage cells could 

be decommissioned 

or dismantled in the 

future so that the material 

can be removed 

for transfer to a licensed 

storage facility.” 

The Nelson Parade 

Action Group purports 

to represent 75 

per cent of Hunters 

Hill residents and has 

A potential solution is 

by encouraging parking 

turnover through the use 

of smart parking solutions 

such as in-ground 

sensors and phone apps. 

A trial in-ground parking 

sensors is being considered 

for the Cowell Street 

Car Park for a 6 months 

period. 

The in-ground sensors 

spent 11 years fighting 

governments to 

act on the 2008 Parliamentary 

Inquiry, 

which recommended 

the full removal of all 

contamination. 

“Under the Property 

NSW option the proposed 

cells will be 

Australia’s first and 

only radioactive storage 

in a residential 

street,” she said. 

“No examples of this 

concept can been 

found overseas.” 

In response to 

claims the action 

group had no feasible 

plan for waste removal, 

Ms Clark suggested 

a “dig and go” 

approach whereby 

the radioactive material 

be immediately 

removed to existing 

suitable storage locations. 

She also urged local 

residents to keep 

fighting. 

“The Kellys Bush 

Battlers would be horrified 

by what is happening 

and we should 

follow their example 

and fight to protect 

our heritage and environment”. 

Submissions for 

and against the Property 

NSW proposal 

close this Friday and 

Ms Clark urged concerned 

residents to 

phone the Action 

Group on 0408 415 

677 for advice about 

lodging a submission. 

“A repeating theme 

during discussion was 

that the encapsulation 

proposal has many 

contradictions and 

will integrate with a parking 

app which customers 

are able to download 

providing advice on the 

availability of parking in 

the car park. If the trial 

is made permanent the

HARBOUR CARE is 

a volunteer program 

whereby local residents 

collect rubbish from 

along the Parramatta and 

Lane Cove River foreshores 

in the Hunters Hill 

LGA. 

We know that there are 

many local residents who 

are already collecting 

rubbish as they walk the 

dog or bushwalk so why 

not become a Harbour- 

Care Volunteer. 

It’s as easy as keeping 

an eye out for litter while 

on your daily walk, walking 

the dog, or joining a 

group pick up day. You 

can sign up for as little as 

a week, month, year or 

more - it’s up to you. 

HarbourCare Volunteers 

are asked to keep a record 

of how much they 

collect, the date and location. 

Volunteers are provided 

with safety equipment 

such as gloves, eye protection 

and other equipment 

and assistance 

with rubbish collection 

if required. For more information

Korean Gingseng a wonder herb! 

Korean Ginseng is a plant whose root has been taken as an herbal remedy 

for over 2,000 years around the world. Since long before it became 

known to the Western general public, aristocrats and scientists had already 

discovered, wrote about, and shown their admiration for Korean 

Ginseng, regarding it as a powerful natural medicine and calling it the 

“treasure from the Orient.” 

As the root of ginseng is delicate, it requires the proper growing environment 

to produce healthy components, specifically ginseng saponins. 

Korea is a country naturally blessed with the geographical latitude, 

four distinct seasons, and ideal soil conditions that constitute the perfect 

growing environment for ginseng. This allows Korean Ginseng to produce 

more than twice the variety of healthy components of other species. 

Although there are other species of ginseng – such as American, Japanese 

and Siberian ginseng, as well as cousins of Korean ginseng including 

Chinese and Asian Panax ginseng – these varieties naturally produce either 

less than half the variety of healthy saponins found in Korean ginseng 

(by species,) or only half the total quantity of healthy saponins (by growing 

period.) 

Korea has the ideal climate for ginseng cultivation and Korean ginseng 

grows under strict quality control. For these reasons, it is praised as the 

finest ginseng in the world, in terms of efficacy, quantity, and variety of 

active components 

Local Chinese citizens held a rally in Eastwood Plaza 

last Sunday morning to support Hong Kong citizens 

against Chinese extradition laws to the mainland. 

Speaker at the rally former Parramatta 

Councillor John Hugh who 

is also media spokesperson of Australian 

Values Alliance (AVA) said: 

“I come here today with gratitude. 

Firstly, I wish to thank Ryde Council, 

in particular Councillors Kim 

and Gordon, and all those councillors 

who have supported this motion. 

They have spoken on our behalf. 

I would also thank all those Hong 

Kong residents who have participated 

in protests against the extradition 

bill with China. They are 

so brave standby their rights and 

values. 

Democracy is not a gift from any 

government. We must fight for it. 

Countless protests in Hong Kong 

set a good example for people living 

in Mainland China. 

As Chinese, we don’t deserve to 

live like a pig or dog for the sake 

of three meals a day. We shall have 

our own mind, live like a real human. 

Two and half years ago, I spoke to 

the media against the proposed extradition 

bill between Australia and 

China. Although the content of the 

bill looks very reasonable, but it is

not a secret that Mainland China is 

not ruled by law. 

Power overrides law and the Chinese 

Communist Party is above 

Chinese Government. Anyone 

could be persecuted with made-up 

criminal offence due to their words 

and minds if not pleasing the Communist 

Party. 

They are trying to extend such 

persecution outside China via extradition 

treaty. Recently an Australian 

Citizen Dr Yang Heng-Jun has 

been detained in China. The Chinese 

Government’s spokesperson 

requested Australian Government 

not to interfere with the matter. 

Does he have right to request 

Australian Government not to care 

for the wellbeing of its own citizen 

overseas? 

Councillors Kim and Gordon, and 

City of Ryde have spoken on our 

behalf. We support those who support 

us! 

Thank you Ryde. Thank you Hong 

Kong. And thanks for everyone here 

to show your support. Let’s wish 

citizens in Mainland China can also 

enjoy democracy in near future. Talk 

about the extradition until then.”

Business Chamber supports 

New Heart of Ryde concept 

BY OUR CIVIC ROUNDSMAN 

THE INFLUENTIAL Riverside Business Chamber has given 

in principle support to the New Heart of Ryde Civic 

Centre development concept. 

The Weekly Times was granted exclusive access to Thursday’s 

high level meeting between Chamber Chairman Tony Abboud and 

City of Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale in the Mayoral suite where Mr 

Abboud confirmed he will submit an endorsement for the concept 

this week. 

The concept is to create an iconic, 

community owned building on the 

site of the existing but empty civic 

centre site and will include a replacement 

of the current concert hall with 

a community based performance 

space that can also be hired for large 

and small civic and private functions, 

performances and conferences. 

“In my 39 years (in business) this 

is the best scheme I have seen,” Mr 

Abboud said. 

Mr Abboud also said he supports 

the “exciting initiative” of The Weekly 

Times Managing Editor John F 

Booth AM to have the ground floors 

of the proposed civic building used 

by local MPs and government based 

organisations that include Medicare, 

Centrelink and Service NSW. 

‘Support one stop 

shop concept’ 

“I absolutely support this one 

stop shop concept, this has been 

designed for this and there is 

every reason why they should be 

here,” he said. 

“And not just government agencies 

but community based agencies because 

there will be synergy here.” 

Mayor Laxale said the Council can 

approach real estate agents and 

government agencies to offer this 

space, if the concept plan if endorsed. 

“I would especially love to see our 

local MPs come here,” he said. 

Mr Abboud would also like to see 

the building design be an iconic one 

that would be unique to Ryde. 

“When I grew up in the 1960s the 

current civic centre was the iconic 

building and it was known as the top 

of the hill in Ryde, which gave us the 

name Top Ryde,” he said. 

Mr Abboud said he did not support 

the ill fated Civic Hub concept for the 

site that was promoted by the previous 

Council, led by Mayor Colonel 

Pickering, because this failed concept 

was driven by the needs of privately 

owned, on site high rise apartments. 

“We did not like it for a whole range 

of reasons,” he said. 

With the new Heart of Ryde concept 

to be 100 per cent community 

owned and occupied, it has his tick 

of approval. 

“As well as being an iconic building, 

you want something people will 

connect with and a sense of community 

ownership is very, very important,” 

he said. 

“If it is owned by a third party you 

have to enter into a commercial 

lease and what happens when these 

leases expire?” 

He said the sense of “connectivity” 

needs to link the proposed development 

to Top Ryde City Shopping 

Centre, where the City of Ryde Library 

is located. 

“There needs to be connectivity for 

people and cars, for adequate parking 

and the two existing footbridges 

that are being improved will further 

integrate both sites.” 

On a personal note, Mr Abboud 

said he is especially excited with 

proposals for the adjoining performance 

space. 

Riverside Business Chamber Chairman Tony Abboud and City of Ryde Mayor Jerome Laxale are 

pictured in the mayoral suite on Thursday where Mr Abboud confirmed he will submit an endorsement 

for the New Heart of Ryde concept this week. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO 

He said it should be large 

enough for conferences and 

events such as the TWT sponsored 

annual business awards. 

“It is silly that some nominees 

for these awards cannot attend 

the event because there is not 

enough space for them at the 

current venue in Epping,” he 

said. 

Mayor Laxale said he hoped the 

venue would be large enough to 

host a local government conference 

and major school functions 

such as the Epping Boys High 

Night, which currently rents the 

Sydney Town Hall. 

Mr Abboud was more cautious 

when asked if the proposed performance 

space should be large 

enough to hold Sydney’s major 

drawcard events. 

“You do have to draw a line 

somewhere and you cannot 

over build but then you cannot 

under build either,” he said. 

“You need to take into account 

function, space and comfort as 

well as the needs of a digital 

world and it must also be aesthetically 

pleasing. 

“Of course, the eco look is part 

of today’s mantra with star ratings 

(for sustainability and energy 

efficiency) and I assume 

this new building will meet these 

parameters.” 

A politically savvy businessman, 

Mr Abboud knows that 

the proposed New Heart of 

Ryde development will not get 

through Ryde City Council without 

a political debate and he 

had these words of encouragement 

for the Mayor. 

“We wanted this council to 

take leadership and this council 

is doing that,” he said.

comic themed event 

saw hundreds of children

Putney salon a specialist 

in the retro look 

THE RETRO LOOK is the buzz fashion concept this year 

with retro clothes, retro music and even retro cars making a 

huge comeback. 

The great advantage 

of the retro look is that 

it can allow people of all 

ages and backgrounds 

to look stylish, creative, 

classy and noticeable 

while providing events 

such as wedding receptions 

with a unique, long 

remembered theme. 

But the retro look 

needs to be created 

with authenticity and 

attention to detail. 

A fortune can be spent 

on retro fashion but unless 

the individual’s 

grooming complements 

the fashion style, the 

look will appear unconvincing, 

fake and even 

ridiculous. 

John Petralito and 

his team at Legend and 

Son Old School Barber 

Shop in Putney understand 

this and specialise 

in creating retro look 

hair styles, whether it 

be the Elvis look of the 

1950s, the London Look 

of the 1960s, the pop 

star look of the 1970s or 

the New Romantic style 

of the 1980s. 

Located at 201 Morrison 

Road in Putney, 

John’s Old School Barber 

Shop can advise on 

the right style for the 

authentic look and uses 

authentic barber shop 

techniques and instruments. 

“We specialise in 

nostalgia and this is 

an old school barber 

shop where we provide 

traditional old school 

hair cuts and nostalgia 

styles on request,” he 

said. 

“We do 100 per cent 

original hair styles and 

we can recreate the 

hairstyles that match 

the fashion and the look 

our clients want. 

“The only thing we 

do not do is take short 

cuts. 

“This means that being 

a traditional old 

school barber shop we 

prepare the skin with 

massages and oils and 

we also use the old 

fashioned scissors over 

comb technique as well 

as the genuine, authentic 

cut throat razor technique.” 

For devotees of the 

1960’s and even earlier 

styles going back 

to The Great War and 

the era of Paris Chic, 

Legend and Son Old 

School Barber Shop 

also specialises in 

grooming beards. 

“Beards are our speciality,” 

he said. 

This year marks the 

50th anniversary of the 

world-changing events 

of 1969 where the Vietnam 

War protests and 

the Swinging Sixties 

changed music, fashion 

and culture forever. 

Music from this period 

is played at the Putney 

barber shop alongside 

the music from the era 

clients request when 

they get an authentic 

retro hair style. 

It also helps to bring 

in photographs of the 

sought-after style. 

To have a hair style 

done at Legend and 

Son Old School Barber 

Shop is a nostalgic 

experience in itself as 

John and his team have 

gone to great expense 

to recreate the atmosphere 

of an old school 

barber shop with vintage 

themed chairs, 

old school barber shop 

memorabilia and rugby 

league photographs 

alongside legendary 

guitars and one of Sydney’s 

best collection of 

whiskey bottles. 

“We will even theme 

the background music 

to go with the hair style 

we are creating, whether 

it be rock and roll, 

jazz, blues, new romantic 

or whatever we get 

asked to do,” he said. 

“Coming here is a lot 

of fun and we play music 

by legendary artists 

from famous periods in 

music, especially from 

the seventies, which 

was a great music era. 

“We also do our nostalgia 

themed hair cuts 

for little kids and can 

take older people back 

to the way they looked 

during the Johnny Cash 

era. 

Legend and Son Old School Barber Shop proprietor John Petralito is pictured at his salon on Morrison 

Road in Putney. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO 

“We love to group 

hair styles for themed 

events, like bridal parties, 

where it is important 

to have the event 

replicate the sense of 

nostalgia chosen for the 

wedding theme.” 

Look out for the salon’s 

vintage collection 

of whiskey bottles on 

your first visit. 

“I have been collecting 

Jack Daniels bottles 

for a very long time 

and this salon has a lot 

of memories from the 

world of sport and music,” 

he said. 

Located a few doors 

down from the local 

school, there is ample 

street parking. 

“Putney is the ideal 

location for us because 

it is a small community 

and we love clients who 

come in to have a bit of 

a banter with us, have a 

good laugh, share their 

memories and have an 

inspired idea for hair 

style.” 

Legend and Son Old 

School Barber Shop 

in Putney is open from 

9am to 5.30pm on 

weekdays and until 

7pm on Thursday. 

It is also open until 

3pm on Saturdays. 

“I have been in the 

game for 40 years and 

I still love coming into 

work each day,” John 

said. 

“I love my music and 

I love all the nostalgia 

that goes with it.” 

Walk-ins to Legend 

and Son are particularly 

welcomed.

proposed an amended 

motion that the 

burial be supported 

as an interim measure 

pending the full 

removal of the waste 

when a disposal site 

becomes available. 

Lisa Miscamble 

GENERAL MANAGER 

Councillors Ross 

Williams and Elizabeth 

Krassoi voted 

against the burial in 

favour of upholding 

the council’s previous 

commitment to 

have the waste removed. 

With Clr Zac Miles 

and Clr Jim Sanderson 

both absent 

from Monday night’s 

council meeting, the 

crucial vote fell to 

the Mayor and the 

recommendation 

to support the proposed 

burial was defeated 

by three votes 

to two. 

The controversial 

issue attracted one 

of the largest public 

gallery attendances 

in Hunters Hill history 

and more than 

twenty public speakers 

for and against 

the recommendation. 

The council resolution 

will now go 

before an Independent 

Planning Commission 

Panel with 

Mayor Bennett’s assurance 

that it has 

the support of the 

majority of Hunters 

Hill ratepayers. 

“The majority of 

people are against 

encapsulation and 

this carries significant 

weight,” Mayor 

Bennett said. 

“We need to think 

about our children’s 

children and that this 

waste could be encapsulated 

for eternity.” 

Deputy Mayor Ben 

Collins argued that 

removal of the waste 

to a waste storage 

facility was not an 

option before the 

council, which was 

presented with a 

stark choice between 

burying the waste of 

leaving it on site and 

untreated. 

He said he is especially 

concerned 

about the health 

and wellbeing of the 

Frankland family and 

Rosemary Manusu 

whose homes are 

reported to be the 

most contaminated. 

“Do we accept an 

option that is better 

or do we just say no 

to everything?” 

“Some might think 

let us just show a 

protest vote but I am 

basing my vote on 

these people in the 

street who are most 

affected.” 

Councillor 

McLaughlin would 

prefer to have the 

waste removed but 

proposed the council 

give “in principle support” 

for the waste 

burial while holding 

the state government 

accountable for an 

eventual removal. 

“In the short term 

clean up the site, it 

changes the look and 

feel of the street, it is 

a practical short term 

solution.” 

Councillor Krassoi 

said she was concerned 

by expert 

reports presented 

at the council meeting 

which warned of 

possible structural 

damage to homes in 

the Nelson Parade if 

the excavated burial 

and concrete encapsulation 

of the waste 

went ahead. 

She also stressed 

that there are no 

guarantees the waste 

would be removed, 

even if a waste disposal 

site became 

available. 

“It would be irresponsible 

for me to 

invite the devil in, not 

knowing when the 

devil will leave,” she 

said. 

“If we vote for this 

we might live to regret 

it.” 

Councillor Williams 

said sites to take 

the waste are available 

and he holds the 

state government responsible 

for moving 

it there. 

“We have heard 

it can be done and 

done today and (hazardous) 

materials 

right now are moving 

up the Pacific Highway 

to be disposed 

in Queensland,” he 

said. 

“Encapsulation will 

not solve the problem, 

it will just bury 

it.”

Local doll makers 

knit with love 

A GROUP of volunteer doll makers - formed on the initiative of 

2018 Ryde Volunteer of the Year Maryann Webb – has donated 

dolls to 645 needy children. 

Known as Project 

KIN, the dolls have 

been created for local 

and overseas children 

to foster a world 

where every child 

feels loved, valued 

and has the chance 

to play and learn. 

“At the same time, 

our volunteers find 

fulfilment and purpose, 

using their talents 

to bless others,” 

Maryanne Webb said. 

“Each Project KIN 

gift pack includes a 

unique doll and cuddle 

blanket, handmade 

with love by a 

Project KIN Volunteer. 

“There is also a 

beautifully illustrated 

Project KIN story 

book, activity book 

and learning guide for 

parents.” 

In the last three 

years, the 645 packs 

have been presented 

to children who include 

refugees, the 

victims of domestic 

violence, indigenous 

children, those suffering 

drought in rural 

areas and those living 

in poverty. 

Packs were recently 

gifted to seriously 

ill children at the Allowah 

Children’s 

Hospital at Dundas. 

Project KIN has 

been taken up across 

Australia and volunteers 

in the Ryde area 

meet bimonthly at the 

Hobbysew shop in 

Top Ryde City to sew, 

knit and crochet. 

“Everyone is welcome 

and if you 

would like to use your 

skills to share love 

with children, join us 

at the next working 

bee at Hobbysew on 

Friday, August 2 from 

10am to 2pm,” Maryann 

said. 

The Eastwood-Epping 

and Dundas- 

Carlingford Lions 

Clubs helped fund 

the cost of these 

packs. 

“The response of 

children and their 

families when they 

receive the gift is always 

heart-warming, 

and it is encouraging 

to hear parents 

describe the positive 

impact of the dolls 

and the books on 

their children,” Maryann 

said. 

Project KIN is run 

solely by volunteers. 

“The packs are only 

possible due to the 

dedication of sewers 

and knitters who craft 

the dolls and the generosity 

of donors for 

printing books and 

packs.” 

Doll maker Jeano 

Hawke has been involved 

since the project’s 

inception and 

has created more 

than 50 dolls. 

“I came across Pro- 

Doll makers Margaret Mayger, Ann Madelle and Jeano Hawke are thrilled their creations bring 

joy into the lives of children. TWT on-the-spot PHOTO 

ject KIN just after I retired,” 

she said. 

“I love to sew, and 

to use my skills and 

resources to help 

kids in need. 

“Donating to Project 

Kin is flexible, so I 

can do as little or as 

much as I have time 

for. It’s such a worthwhile 

cause and I’m 

delighted to be part 

of the team.” 

Margaret Mayger 

described the joy the 

dolls bring the children. 

“To see the joy on 

the faces of the children 

when they receive 

their packs is 

wonderful,” she said. 

“ I encourage anyone 

who can sew, 

knit or crochet to 

join Project KIN, and 

bring hope and love 

to little children. 

“If you can’t sew, 

you can help by funding 

a pack.”

Gladesville students take up a toothbrush challenge 

GLADESVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL students hope to win a nationwide competition through 

the collection of used toothbrushes. 

The students aim to 

win a recycled garden 

set by collecting and 

recycling the most 

oral care waste of any 

school in Australia. 

To help win the garden 

set they will ask 

the school community 

to give them old 

toothbrushes, toothpaste 

tubes and floss 

containers and then 

vote online for their 

school.

nationwide to collect 

all brands of oral care 

waste and send it to 

TerraCycle who will 

turn it into new products. 

The competition will 

run until September 

and aims to encourage 

students to learn 

about sustainability 

by seeing how waste 

that would normally 

be sent to landfill can 

be given a second life 

and made into a new 

product such as a 

garden bed. 

“Five recycled community 

garden sets 

will be awarded to five 

schools, with each 

set including: three 

garden beds, two 

custom-made benches, 

three customised 

garden plaques 

made from recycled 

oral care waste, plus 

a $500 gardening 

voucher to buy seeds 

and plants,” a competition 

spokesperson 

said. 

“Besides showing 

how recycled materials 

can be used as a 

sustainable alternative 

to virgin plastic, 

Colgate, Chemist 

Warehouse and TerraCycle 

hope the sets 

will promote gardening 

and healthy eating 

among schools.” 

Inbal Luft from 

Gladesville Public 

School said the students 

were hoping 

to win the garden set 

to create a community 

garden and compost 

system at their 

school. 

“We became involved 

in the Colgate 

Community Garden 

Challenge in 2018 

because we wanted 

to improve our recycling 

and sustainability 

initiatives at the 

school,” said Ms Luft. 

“Winning this competition 

would mean 

that we could finally 

fulfil our plans to set 

up an edible garden 

and compost system 

for the kids. 

“Anyone wanting to 

help us can drop off 

their oral care waste 

in the collection 

box located outside 

Coles supermarket 

on the ground floor 

of Gladesville Shopping 

Village who have 

kindly agreed to accept 

donations on 

behalf of our school 

and the wider community.” 

Gladesville residents 

are encouraged 

to drop their used oral 

care products off and 

vote for the school 

online at www.terracycle.com.au/colgategardenvoting 

Colgate Vice President 

and General 

Manager of South Pacific, 

Julie Dillon, and 

Chemist Warehouse 

Group COO, Mario 

Tascone encouraged 

the Gladesville students. 

“Colgate has been 

very encouraged to 

see the students’ recycling 

efforts and 

enthusiasm to promote 

sustainability 

within their community,” 

Ms Dillon said. 

Mr Tascone also 

wished the students 

well. 

“For the second 

year running, Chemist 

Warehouse is thrilled 

to see the remarkable 

progress of the 

Colgate Community 

Garden Challenge in 

schools and we are 

proud of all the hard 

work going in to recycling

Designer label fashion is on 

show during Moocooboola 

A UNIQUE fashion show will be held at the Moocooboola Festival 

on Sunday August 4 at Boronia Park Oval Hunters Hill. 

The fashion show 

features pre-loved and 

donated designer labels 

from eras when 

fashion was art, rather 

than cheap and disposable. 

It is being promoted 

by the Chief Executive 

Officer for iShareCloset, 

Karthika Theagarajah 

who said it compliments 

this year’s 

Moocooboola theme 

of sustainability. 

“We are excited to 

be presenting this 

fashion show at the 

festival to showcase 

how pre-loved garments 

are still stylish 

and fashionable and 

encourage the young 

audience to think of 

renting designer as 

an alternative to fast 

fashion consumption,” 

she said. 

“We will have a collection 

of preloved designer 

garments for resale 

and rental and the 

brands include Zimmerman, 

Sass & Bide, 

Alice McCall, Camilla 

and Marc, Armani.” 

The iShareCloset initiative 

aims to showcase 

items that have 

been languishing in 

closets and may be 

perfect for a new owner 

to wear to a special 

event. 

“iShareCloset was 

started to make a 

difference in the impact 

fashion has on 

the environment and 

iShareCloset is also 

an online marketplace 

for pre-loved designer 

clothes and accessories 

for rent or resale.” 

Fashionable and 

eco-friendly Hunters 

Hill is seen as a perfect 

venue 

“On average, a woman 

wears her clothes 

only about seven 

times and most clothing 

ends in landfill. 

“In fact fashion contributes 

36 tonnes of 

waste every hour to 

landfill in Australia 

alone. 

“iShareCloset is filling 

a need by creating 

a marketplace to connect 

people to share 

their clothes and accessories 

and extend 

the utility of these 

items, doubling maybe 

tripling its use 

“We would also like 

to encourage the 

community to bring 

in their preloved designer 

clothes (in good 

condition) for re-sale 

or renting through 

iShareCloset. 

“They can drop off 

their items at 80A Park 

Road, Hunters Hill by 

Thursday, 1August or 

bring them on the day. 

“We will have volunteers 

on hand to assist 

with registration, photography 

and listing of 

these garments and 

will have these items 

for re-sale at the stall 

and on the website. 

“This will enable visitors 

at the fair to walk 

away with a bargain or 

two.”

Moocooboola has 

a green theme 

THIS year’s MOOCOOBOOLA FESTIVAL at 

Boronia Park Oval, Hunters Hill will have an environmental 

theme. 

The Moocooboola Festival 

is expected to attract 

tens of thousands of 

guests and will be held on 

the first Sunday in August 

at Boronia Park Ovals from 

9.30am until 4pm. 

URM Waste Management 

is a major sponsor 

of this festival which will 

feature a market bazaar 

with more than 120 stalls, 

a double stage for local 

and guest performers, music, 

dance, circus acts and 

entertainment alongside all 

day rides and free kids en- 

tertainment. 

“There really will be 

something for everyone,” 

Event Organisers said. 

“Sustainability is very 

important to us to us this 

year as we move towards 

reducing waste and eventually 

a plastic free event 

as we work towards a 

common goal. 

“In 2018 we worked 

on several initiatives and 

successfully reduced the 

waste created at the event 

by 20 per cent and this 

year we certainly want to 

build on this.” 

To help promote the 

eco-theme of Moocooboola, 

the King and Queen 

of Green will be meeting 

people at the event and 

encouraging theme to support 

ecological friendly and 

sustainable practices. 

“The King and Queen are 

a joy for both children and 

adults alike. 

“Loud and bubbly their 

majesties the King and 

Queen will encourage us 

to do the right thing for our 

unique and special local 

environment.” 

See next week’s edition 

of The Weekly Times for

festival.

Titled “Doing Death

admission is free. 

Northern Cemeteries 

Chief Executive Officer 

Pauline Tritton said 

the event is part of the 

Care and Wellbeing 

Program, which is designed 

to deepen the 

facility’s unique connection 

and 

contribution to the 

many communities it 

serves. 

“Some people can 

really struggle socially, 

culturally and personally 

with the concept of 

even starting healthy 

dialogue around the 

often delicate and 

complex issues associated 

with death and 

dying,” Mrs Tritton explained. 

“Dying To Know Day 

is a wonderful opportunity 

for informed 

discussions, in a supportive 

and safe environment, 

allowing 

people to talk directly 

with those working in 

the industry, as well 

as learn about how to 

have important conversations 

with their 

family and friends.” 

Attractions include 

walks and talks, historic 

hearses, coffin 

decorating and a 

Momento Mori photo 

display og artistic or 

symbolic reminders of 

mortality. 

There will also be a 

Death Caf, and therapeutic 

harp playing. 

The North Ryde RSL 

Sub Branch will mark 

Victory in the Pacific 

Day celebrations with 

a tribute to ex servicemen 

who died in the 

Pacific theatre of war. 

Other presenters include 

Susan Moylan 

Coombs on Indigenous 

attitudes towards 

death, funeral directors, 

celebrants and 

cemetery representatives 

speaking about 

“doing death differently”. 

Macquarie Park Cemetery 

and Crematorium 

is acknowledged as 

one of the most beautiful 

memorial parklands 

in New South Wales. 

Reflecting Sydney’s 

multicultural society, 

it serves all religious, 

ethnic, cultural and 

personal requirements. 

“Macquarie Park believes 

our strong support 

of the national 

initiative will help highlight 

how it actively 

engages with its community 

to show the important 

role cemeteries 

play. 

“We strive to be always 

caring and relevant 

– and that means 

letting people of all 

ages know we are here 

as much for the living 

as we are for those 

who are remembered.” 

The Macquarie Park 

Cemetery is located 

at the corner of Delhi 

and Plassey Roads in 

North Ryde.

RYDE 

NORTH RYDE 

MARSFIELD 

PUTNEY 

FORMER Australian 

Olympic Games goalkeeper 

Ron Lord will 

celebrate his 90th birthday 

this weekend. 

Born in Sydney in 

1929, Lord was a member 

of Australia’s 1956 

Olympic football team, 

the first national team 

to take part in a major 

tournament and to this 

day is considered by 

many to be our greatest 

ever goalkeeper 

- brave, athletic, cool 

under pressure and a 

fitness fanatic. 

Lord began his career 

with Rozelle as a 

left back at the age of 

17 and made his senior 

debut the following year 

in TWT territory with 

the now-defunct Drummoyne 

club. 

Around the same time, 

few would know that 

Lord was also a member 

of the Drummoyne 

Water Polo side which 

finished Second Grade 

premiers for 1948/49 

after defeating Balmain 

6-4 in the Grand final. 

His transition to goalkeeping 

is a whole story 

in itself. 

In his first game as left 

back for Drummoyne 

against Woonona-Bulli 

at Bulli Sports Ground, 

he suffered an ankle 

injury that resulted in an 

extended stint on the 

sidelines. 

And while watching 

his team mates play 

at Drummoyne Oval, 

he noticed the second 

grade goalkeeper had 

not turned up for his 

match and asked officials 

if he could fill in. 

The rest is history,

with Lord going on to 

play for Auburn and 

Sydney Prague and 

represent his State and 

country. 

Former Australian 

Soccer Weekly reporter 

John Economos, the 

best mate of the late 

Socceroos legend 

Johnny Warren, remembers 

the first time 

he saw Lord and legendary 

defender Herbie 

Stegbauer in action as 

opponents in a Friday 

night cup match at ES 

Marks Field at Moore 

Park in the early 1960s. 

“Johnny Warren and 

I were attending night 

classes down the road, 

studying for our Bachelor 

of Commerce degrees 

at the University 

of NSW,” Economos 

recalled. 

“ Warren said to me 

earlier that same night: 

‘mate, let’s go and 

watch Prague and Budapest 

down the road 

and skip our last two 

lectures. 

“It was a very warm 

summer’s night and 

only the third ever soccer 

match I’d gone to 

see. After about 15 

minutes Warren said to 

me: ‘Keep your eyes 

on Prague’s goalie - 

he’s like a powerful lion 

patrolling his penalty 

area.” 

Economos said Warren 

was spot on. 

Lord was a powerfully-built 

goalkeeper 

and never seemed to 

stop moving and when 

Prague was well up 

field, deep into Budapest 

territory, Lord 

would patrol back and

Ron Lord in action at the 1956 Olympic Games 

forth across the edge of 

the 18 yard line. 

“Whenever Budapest 

advanced to about 25 

yards out from Prague’s 

goal, Lord would walk 

back and forth across 

his six yard box, still always 

moving,” Economos 

said. 

Later, Warren would 

also point out Budapest 

defender Herbie Stegbauer, 

his elegance and 

how he was “safe as a 

bank”. 

“For almost the entire 

remainder of the 

match, I concentrated 

on watching these two 

guys at opposite ends 

of the pitch - Lord and 

Stegbauer,” he said. 

1921-2018

This Sunday afternoon, 

more than 60 

years later, Economos 

will have the pleasure of 

seeing Stegbauer and 

Lord again, at the latter’s 

90th birthday celebrations 

at Oak Flats on

LANE Cove Women’s Bowling Club president Sarah Hobson is celebrating 

a Grand Slam of all ladies major titles. The gifted Hobson recently 

teamed with Dianna Erskine to clinch the Ladies Pairs with a 

21-9 victory over Maureen Terrey and Jenny Moran in an eagerly fought 

final. It capped an amazing year for Sarah (pictured second from right) 

and Dianna, who picked up her eleventh ladies title. 

Region 16 Pairs title 

for Anne and Ivy 

EXPERIENCED North Ryde RSL lawn 

bowlers Anne Richardson and Ivy Hitchens 

(pictured) produced superb games 

recently to capture the Region 16 Pairs 

competition at Ryde X Phoenix. 

The skilful duo overcame fierce opponents 

in McCann and Cadman from The 

Hills to win the title and now advance to 

play in the State play offs at Tamworth 

on September 9-10. 

Ivy and Anne were joined by Shirley 

Leabeater the next day to play in the Region 

Triples at Pennant Hills where they 

were defeated by a strong team from 

Northmead WBC. 

Zara Warland, Elli Barron, Arabella Price and Georgia Arcus. 

Middle distance strength the key to 

Ryde Athletics medal-winning feats 

RYDE’S best young athletes have combined over the winter to bring home three 

State medals - two silver and a bronze - in team’s cross country events. 

Georgia Arcus, Arabella 

Price, Elli Barron and Zara 

Warland (pictured) have 

teamed successfully over the 

season to first capture silver 

in the 4 x 3km Under 20 

Athletics NSW State Cross 

Country Relay Championships 

at Miranda where the 

girls were just four seconds 

off the gold medal. 

Earlier this month the outstanding 

foursome teamed 

up to again take silver in the 

Athletics NSW Street Relay 

Runs where they competed 

in the Under 16s 4 x 2km 

event. 

In between all four girls had 

represented their school Loreto 

Normanhurst in the gruelling 

Balmoral Burn Schools 

event, the Head of the Hill 

where Arcus and Price 

teamed up with Ryde teammate 

Sophie Kavanagh and 

Charlotte Curran to collect 

another silver medal. 

Ryde’s other road warriors 

in the Street Relays were Ella 

and Chloe McGregor and 

Jacqueline and Zara Pawsey 

who teamed up to collect 

their first Athletics NSW medal 

when they won bronze in 

the Under 12s 4 x 2km event. 

An impressive result given 

their youngest team members 

Jacqueline and Chloe 

are aged just 8 and 9 years 

old respectively. 

The Athletics season commences 

shortly and registration 

for Ryde Little Athletics 

opens on Thursday August 1.


New two year deal for 

Tigers’ prop Josh Aloiai 

By CHRIS KARAS 

WESTS Tigers have received a huge boost with the re-signing 

of boom Samoan international forward Josh Aloiai for a further 

two seasons. 

The powerful 23 

year old prop has 

proved a mainstay 

in the Tigers’ engine 

room these past four 

seasons with his 

bumping runs and 

no-nonsense defence 

Aloiai, who has 

racked up 68 NRL 

appearances for the 

club, will remain at 

Wests Tigers until 

the end of the 2021 

season. 

He has proved to 

be one of the Tigers’ 

most consistent forwards 

this season 

and turned in a nonstop 

performance 

against the Canberra 

Raiders last Saturday 

at GIO Stadium. 

The new two year 

deal is a just reward 

for the Glenora Bears 

junior and former 

Junior Kiwi who has 

since made his senior 

representative 

debut for Samoa with 

two Test appearances 

under his belt. 

Aloiai said he was 

delighted to ink a 

new deal with the Tigers 

and secure his 

immediate future. 

“There’s a couple 

of really strong reasons 

that have kept 

me at the club: one 

is coach Michael 

Maguire and the direction 

he’s taking 

the club, and two is 

the loyal fans that 

we have, and I can’t 

thank them enough 

for their love and 

support,” Aloiai revealed. 

“Particularly this 

year, I feel I’ve grown 

a lot and am happy 

with the improvements 

I’ve been making. 

I want to keep 

doing that and I’m so 

happy that I can do 

that here at Wests Tigers.” 

Wests Tigers Head 

Coach Michael 

Maguire congratulated 

Aloiai on his new 

deal with the club 

and said he looked 

forward to seeing 

him continue to develop 

his game. 

“I’ve really enjoyed 

seeing Josh grow his 

game so far this year 

and I really look forward 

to working with 

him on the next part 

of his career,” Maguire 

said. 

“As a group, we’ve 

developed some very 

strong values about 

where we’re going, 

and Josh is really 

growing as a leader 

in driving some of 

those things. He is 

incredibly well respected 

by all his 

coaches, teammates 

and staff at Wests 

Tigers and I know he 

will be a valuable asset 

for this club in the 

years ahead.” 

Wests Tigers CEO 

Justin Pascoe said 

Aloiai was a tremendous 

asset for club 

on and off the field 

and expressed his 

delight at securing 

the forward for a further 

two seasons. 

“Josh is one of the 

most impressive 

young men I have 

met in rugby league 

and continues to 

have a huge impact 

for Wests Tigers both 

on and off the field,” 

Pascoe said. 

“We’re very pleased 

for someone of his 

character to remain 

a part of this club 

and we look forward 

to him playing a very 

important role for us 

in the years ahead.” 

Alex Wilkinson displays the A League championship trophy after Sydney FC’s Grand Final victory over 

Perth Glory. He is pictured with his wife Brooke and parents Carolin Wilkinson, a North Ryde Community 

Aid stalwart and Rob Wilkinson, a proud Rotarian and Ryde Sports Foundation Vice Chairman. 

Captaincy honour for experienced 

Sydney FC star Alex Wilkinson 

REIGNING A-League champions Sydney FC have confirmed local sporting hero 

Alex Wilkinson as its eighth captain. 

The 34-year old Socceroo, 

who played a key 

role in Australia’s recent 

Asian Cup triumph, succeeds 

Alex Brosque who 

retired after the Sky 

Blues claimed the 2018- 

19 A-League championship. 

The Gladesville resident 

and former North Ryde 

Soccer Club junior product 

joins a prestigious lineup 

of club legends to wear the 

captain’s armband, and 

these also include Dwight 

Yorke, Steve Corica, Terry 

McFlynn and Alessandro 

Del Piero. 

Wilkinson has been vicecaptain 

for the last three 

seasons and says he’s 

honoured to take on the 

role. 

“It’s a huge honour for 

myself to be captain of 

Sydney FC who are in my 

opinion the biggest club 

in the Hyundai A-League,” 

Wilkinson said. 

“I was born and bred in 

Sydney and spent all my 

junior years here growing 

up playing football, so to 

be able to captain Sydney 

FC is a huge honour. 

“Brosquey’s been an unbelievable 

leader for this 

club over the past few 

years now and it’s my job 

to continue on what he has 

built. 

“For our 2019-20 campaign 

we’ve kept the core 

group together again and 

the one thing we have at 

Sydney FC is a great culture 

and a great bunch of 

boys, and this year is no 

different. 

“We’ve got a lot of experience 

in the change room 

and that will help me lead 

the group and push us to 

some more success.” 

Wilkinson was presented 

with the captain’s armband 

by Brosque at last week’s 

first pre-season friendly 

match against Dunbar 

Rovers at Leichhardt Oval. 

And his captaincy 

couldn’t have started on 

a better note, with the Sky 

Blues emphatically, but 

unsurprisingly, hammering 

their NSW Premier League 

Mens 3 opponents 6-0. 

Sydney FC has been active 

on the transfer market 

since clinching the championship 

in May. 

When the championship 

celebrations finally 

ended, Sydney had parted 

ways with Brosque (retired) 

Siem de Jong (Ajax), Reza 

Ghoochannejhad (APOEL), 

Daniel De Silva (Central 

Coast Mariners), Aaron 

Calver (Western United), 

Josh Brillante (Melbourne 

City) and Jop van der Linden 

(retired). 

The Sky Blues began a 

campaign to find some 

quality replacements in 

early June when they 

snared Kiwi striker Kosta 

Barbarouses from Big Blue 

rivals Melbourne Victory. 

Next on the list was 

32-year-old German playmaker 

Alex Baumjohann, 

pilfered from Sydney FC’s 

cross-city rivals Western 

Sydney Wanderers; then 

came Anthony Caceres, 

previously on loan from 

English giants Manchester 

City, but now a permanent 

fixture with the Sky Blues. 

Experienced Socceroos 

defender Ryan McGowan - 

a free agent in a career that 

has taken the 29-year-old 

on playing stints in Scotland, 

the UAE and China - 

was coach Steve Corica’s 

next signing, followed late 

last week by three-time 

A-League champion Luke 

Brattan who pulled out of 

a planned move to Turkish 

Super Lig side Yeni Malatyaspor 

after his contract 

with Melbourne City expired, 

to sign a one-year 

deal with Sydney FC. 

Wilkinson said the new 

recruits had been settling 

into the squad quite well. 

“Kosta (Barbarouses), 

obviously being around the 

A-League for a long time 

knew quite a few of the 

boys coming in, so he fitted 

in seamlessly,” Wilkinson 

said. 

“And Alex (Baumjohann) 

same thing. He’s walking 

around with a smile on his 

face and has really integrated 

into the group perfectly 

so far. 

“Ryan, who’s been overseas 

his whole career, 

has come back to the A- 

League now. I’ve known 

him and Michael Zullo and 

a few of the other boys 

who’ve been associated 

with the national team over 

the years have known him 

quite well. He’s a great 

bloke.” 

Head Coach Corica believes 

Wilkinson was the 

natural choice for the captaincy. 

“I don’t think there’s any 

surprise with Wilko taking 

the armband given the 

experience he has in the 

game,” he said. 

“He shows great leadership 

within the dressing 

room, he knows the culture 

we want to drive and he 

also knows what it takes to 

win trophies. 

“He will set a fantastic 

example for our younger 

boys and to be able to 

have this sort of continuity 

bodes very well for the 

season ahead.” 

Widely respected among 

his A-League peers, 

‘Wilko’ is also President of 

the Professional Footballers 

Association (PFA).

Alex new Sydney FC Captain 

Tigers Still On 

Track for Finals! 

Tigers are still on track for Grand Final 

glory October 6 despite all the Daily 

Screamers bleatings of Doomsday forecasts 

following Saturday’s encounter in 

the Hot Air Capital. 

By the one eyed Tiger 

TWT Territory’s local soccer hero and former Socceroos defender Alex Wilkinson 

has been appointed captain of reigning A League champions Sydney FC. 

The North Ryde Soccer Club junior product succeeds Alex Brosque as team 

leader for the 2019-20 season. The Sky Blues international was the logical 

choice due to his strong leadership qualities. SEE STORY PAGE 27 

However they neglected 

to say that the 

Tigers finished too 

good for the Faders 

Saturday when they 

won the second half six 

to nil to display some 

of their real talent and 

ability and grand final 

form. 

Returning winger 

David Nofoaluma 

screamed in for the 

second half’s only try 

set up by the magic of 

Benji Marshall to be 

converted by skipper 

Moses Mbye who also 

booted over the little 

black dot in the first half 

after Josh Aloiai celebrated 

his resigning for 

another two years with 

a classic barging try. 

The Tigers could’ve 

shown a winning scoreline 

but for the loss of 

Thomas Mikaele and 

Matt Eisenhuth from a 

head clash in a tackle 

and a ref’s ruling 

against an Elijah Taylor 

genuine try in the second 

half. 

However the final 

scoreline has helped 

Tigers fans who 

hadn’t got set with 

the Ma-in-Law’s Funeral 

Fund on a Tigers 

Grand Final victory to 

act before the odds 

skyrocket in coming 

weeks. 

Tigers winning streak 

kicks off this Saturday 

as they frighten 

the soulcase out of 

the Frights up north 

and continues following 

Thursday when the 

Tigers have only their 

second home game of 

the season at Leichhardt 

Oval HQ when 

they host the Milkmaids 

from far north 

Cane Toad Territory. 

Let’s pack Leichhardt 

Oval Thursday week. 

See ya there.

two seasons last week by scoring the Tigers first 

try on Saturday.
