The death of Thomas Kelly, who died after being punched by an intoxicated man at Kings Cross last year has resonated with people across the state. He was by all accounts a smart, handsome and well-loved young man on the verge of starting his adult life. The grief of his parents is obvious, and they are determined that his death not be in vain, but lead to lasting change. The man who killed him was sentenced to six years imprisonment for manslaughter, with a minimum of four years, plus an extra 14 months in prison for assaulting four other people. This sentence caused many people to question our sentencing regime. Immediately following the handing down of the sentence, I requested the Director of Public Prosecutions consider an appeal and later that week he announced he would appeal against the sentence, and ask the Court of Criminal Appeal to issue a guideline judgment. Guideline judgments set a sentencing benchmark for judges, and guide judges in similar future cases in their sentencing. The government has also approved the drafting of new unlawful assault laws, which would cover cases of assaults causing death - even if the offender did not intend or foresee the victim's death - with a maximum penalty of 20 years. Alcohol-related assaults fell last year and the government will build on the many measures it has implemented in order to reduce these assau~s further. I hope that the new laws and the attention to this terrible case will send a message to drunken louts that this type of behaviour is unacceptable and potentially deadly.

A song tribute to Bennelong

Dear Sir, I write regarding the TWT

promotion of our wonderful historical aboriginal friend whose grave has recently been discovered in Putney by Dr Peter Mitchell.

May I let readers know that the locally wntten song 'Mr Bennelong' has so far reached the top 30 finalists of the Australian Song Contest (Australia category) as judged by the Australian Songwriters Association.

Should any kind of web­site ever evolve as a tribute to Bennelong I would cer­tainly consider the song's use for that website. Can't think of a more fitting recipi­ent of recognition than our Bennelong.

The efforts made by TWT and Peter Mitchell in bringing forth Bennelong's story are to be congratulated. A true un­sung hero, till now at least.

Dear Sir, Last week was SES Wear

Orange Wednesday, known as WOW Day.

As an unpaid volunteer in the SES Ryde unit it was warmly appreciated to see many members of the public wearing orange, waving to us and shaking our hand to say thank you as I, and many of my teammates, moved around the City of Ryde.

LETTERS Welcome TWT welcomes letters

from our readers. Full name, address and telephone number MUST be supplied, even if not for publication. Send to: TWT PO Box 123, Ryde 1680 or email: contactus@weekly times.com.au

Ryde Unit had a busy day with Mayor Roy Maggio, along with several volunteers, raising the SES flag on the Civic Centre in the morning and then in the evening gath­ering in the mayoral suite for a civic reception.

It was heartening to see so many Council staff dressed in orange.

During the day a dedicated team of SES members part­nered with NRMA staff at Macquarie Centre to give away orange poppy seed cake and provide information to residents on how they can prepare their homes before storms.

NRMA were excited to host this event and went all orange with streamers and balloons. Some staff even had orange fingernails and lipstick.

The orange support that SES Ryde unit has received from everyone on WOW Day is gratefully appreciated. At our weekly meetings, news of these events is met with spontaneous applause as our way of saying thank you for the thanks.

No gaol for the fire setting kids

Dear Sir, I'm writing to you to dis-

cuss the im ortance p of funding treatment models for young fire setters.

During October we experi­enced one of the worst bush fire emergencies I have ever seen. Even more troubling, there were at least seven young people • ranging from 8 years old to 17 years old, charged with starting fires that caused significant damage.

The public discourse has been about how to punish these young people, but I'd like to see how we can treat them and turn these young­sters into productive mem­bers of society.

They should be punished, the devastation caused by some of the fires was hor­rific. However, the punishment needs to include rehabilita­tion. The young people that set fires often have a victim mentality and when they light the fire, they are only con­cerned with burning down the world that has wronged them.

Throwing them in gaol, with no treatment, is only going to grow that victim mental­ity. Treatment is the only way to make sure they don't re­offend.

To treat them, we have to identify what sort of fire set­ter they are. The 'Dynamic­Behavioural Model' (DBM) de-

•

scribes two different types of fire setters: non-pathological and pathological fire setters. Once we have identified the type, we then need to match them with the appropriate treatment program. Treatment can be done in a locked facil-ity, similar to a gaol, but with a focus on rehabilitation.

The DBM also provides us with aspects of their lives that we must assess to commence treatment. To understand their motivations when setting fires it's important to analyse their personality and individual characteristics; family and social circumstances; and their immediate environmental conditions. These three as­pects of their lives are the vari ­ables that interact to produce fire setting or increase the risk of fire setting.

We have to invest in treat­ment models that work. In order for juvenile fire setters from both socio-economically limited and wealthy families to receive services, I recom­mend that State Fire Marshals sponsor the development of the Fire Intervention Mentor Model (FIMM).

This model will allow for the training of key mental health personnel in various munici­palities. These mental health personnel will be respon­sible for training other mental health personnel in more out· lying districts.

My hope is that this invest· ment will mean the next time a bush fire emergency is experi ­enced, less young people will be implicated in setting fires.

Local tennis association looks back over 90 years

THE NORTH Western Suburbs Tennis Associa­tion (a volunteer non-profit community based sports organisation) was inaugu­rated in 1922.

Our first President was W. Setchell and joint Secretary and Competition were Lyall Campbell and Harold Childs.

Most of the credit for form­ing an association must be given to the Johnstone broth· ers (John, Jim and Henry) who lived on an orchard property in Buffalo Road, Ryde.

Henry Johnstone became president of the association from 1926 to 1936.

We are affiliated with Tennis NSW and the NSW Hardcourt Tennis Association.

Anthony Roberts MP has had a hectic week in his dual role as Member for Lane Cove and Minister for Fair Trading.

He had a full week in State Parliament introduc­ing three new Bills which were debated well into the night.

They are the Motor Dealers and Repairers Bill and the Resident Communities Bill which covers residential retirement parks and estates and car­avan retirement parks.

Third item which will affect all residents living in apartment blocks is the Strata and Community Title Law Reform Bill which will update strata buildings laws and regulations.

In a brief reprieve from Parliament, Anthony Roberts met representatives of Ryde Rivers Festival committee to receive a Certificate of Appreciation from Gladesville Rotary Club mem­bers for assistance with this year's Festival and a Sports Grant of $5,000.

Ryde SES Community Engagement Officer Warren Smith said WOW Day was a great way for the com­munity to show its support for our volunteers and an opportunity to further pro­mote safety during floods and storms.

"Storm season began last month and continues until March so now is the time to take some proactive meas­ures to ensure your homes are stormsafe rather than be reactive during a storm", he said.

The basic steps people can follow to prepare for storms include:

SECURE or store loose items around the yard or on the balcony

TRIM over hanging tree branches

CLEAN your gutters and downpipes every six months

ENSURE your drains are free from blockages so water can flow freely when it rains

CHECK that your roof is in good repair e very year

MAKE sure your insur­ance is up to date

PREPARE your tour Emergency Kit

For emergency help in storms and floods call NSW SES on 132 500 or dial 000 in life threatening emergen­cies.

BY OUR CIVIC ROUNDSMAN

Hunters Hill has been betrayed by Lane Cove MP Anthony Roberts according to a coalition of local resi­dents who want to save the municipality's threatened heritage laws. The Save Hunters Hill Municipality Coalition headed by former

mayor Ross Williams and former councillor Phyl Jenkyn OAM has released a copy of its scathing letter to Mr Roberts where he is accused of betrayal because this month he voted for a proposed Bill which threatens to give property developers powers to over­ride existing local heritage protection.

The Coalition letter notes Mr Roberts attendance at a recent public meeting in Hunters Hill Town Hall where he promised to speak on behalf of Hunters Hill residents opposed to the so-called White Paper on Planning.

"It is inconceivable given your public statements at the Public Meeting in the Hunters Hill Town Hall and in The Weekly Times that you have in the end sup­ported such a flawed piece of legislation," the Coalition wrote to Mr Roberts.

"You have sold out our constituency to support a new Planning System that is not balanced and skewed heavily towards the devel­oper lobby to the detriment of community, heritage and environmental considera­tions.

"Who will be the benefi­ciaries of this new system because it is certainly not our residents."

Mr Roberts told The Weekly Times the claims made in the letter were unfair, hurtful and wrong.

"I stand on my record. I have served for twenty years fighting overdevelop­men! in the Lane Cove electorate," he said.

"I'm proud to fight for my electorate and I'm sure constituents will compare and contrast what we have compared with and in con­trast to other electorates.

"For example, we don't have massive overdevelop­men! at historic Gladesville Hospital because I've fought against it."

Mr Roberts has previously given his parliamentary support to NSW Planning Minister Brad Hazzard who has the unenviable task of creating more housing to ease the current rental cri­sis across the North Shore and to prepare for an expected growth in Sydney's population.

The Municipal Coalition has also put its case to Hunters Hill Council and last week warned cou neil-

lors that NSW Legislative Council approval for the Bill will see multi-storey resi­dential towers "like the ones at Top Ryde" approved by the govern­ment in Hunters Hill as early as next year.

The Council had previ­ously been warned that its Local Environment Plan (LEP) would be over-ruled by the proposed planning laws and that residents will have unprecedented pow­ers to build and renovate in areas currently restricted by council heritage controls.

In a letter to the council, Mr Hazzard stressed that the community will still have a say but the Coalition said the Minister's com­ments do little to reduce the impact of what it believes to be flawed legis­lation, with no redress.

"After an initial period of being prepared to consult with the community you ( Mr Hazzard and Mr Roberts) have now slammed the door in our faces and will not respond to legitimate requests to discuss the matter," the let­ter to Mr Roberts said.

The Lane Cove MP did not attend a recent event at Kelly's Bush, Woolwich to recognise the 40th anniver­sary of the Battle to Save Kelly's Bush, which was addressed by the original battlers and former Builders Labourers Federation lead­er Jack Mundey.

The event was also attended by The Greens' leader, David Shoebridge who last week promised to oppose the White Paper.

"To stand beside Jack, Miriam, Joan and Christina at Kelly's Bush on the site they protected was not only a pleasure for the natural surrounds and company, it was a direct connection with a wonderful activist past and an inspiration for our work for the future," he told The Weekly Times.

"Unless we rekindle the spirit of Kelly's Bush we will see developers getting pri­vate certifiers, or council planning staff to approve industrial and warehouse development up to 20,000 metres square on bush­land, a row of 20 semi­detached houses on your street and the destruction of your two story local shopping centre and its replacement with residen­tial and commercial tower blocks and all without you having any say."

Labor and Independent councillors in Canada Bay, Parramatta and Lane Cove have also expressed con­cern about the proposed planning changes in the White Paper which Ryde Labor Councillor Jerome Laxale has described as being worse than the for­mer Kenneally govern­ment's loathed 3A Planning Law exemptions.

"This is 3A on steroids," he said.

Cheesed off following drug bust A MASSIVE 150kg of suspected stolen

cheese was found in the boot of a car in Carlingford on Thursday morning.

POLICE ROUNDS ics and taken to Royal North Shore Hospital. The 77-year-old man

Women's Self Defence Seminar Most women have felt vulnerable at some time

in their lives either walking home alone at night or when at home with young children, even in daylight hours.

For many women the need to feel safe in their own neighbourhood is of great importance, although we often look outside of ourselves for protection.

Lane Cove Women's Action & Information Group is encouraging women to take control of their own personal safety by inviting them to attend a Self Defence Workshop for women and for girls aged 12 years and over.

The seminar will be held this Saturday November 23 at the Living and Learning Centre, 180 Longueville Road, from 11 am to 4pm and will be led by Penny

Gulliver - a highly experi­enced instructor of self defence.

"All women have the right to feel safe," says work­shop organiser Penelope Bowyer-Pont.

"There are many simple techniques that we can use to increase our confidence and our ability to defend ourselves should we ever need to."

Cost is $25 nonwaged, students/$50 waged and includes light lunch.

Families, many being recent immigrants from overseas, mainly the United Kingdom, built homes and brought with them their culture and beliefs. Initially they gathered for worship in family homes but gradually

In 1907 the first Presbyterian Service was held and two years later in 1911 the first Presbyterian Church in Trelawney Street was opened.

In 1913 the first Methodist Service was held and later in 1918 the

first church was opened beside the Lake.

In 2006 the two churches amalgamated and became the Eastwood Uniting Church based on the Lakeside Road site. Three years later, after redevelop­ment of the buildings and the addition of a new Worship Centre the church as it is today was opened in 2009.

Eastwood today is a very different place. A modern bustling town with a large diverse population from many parts of the world.

Although we honour our pioneers and thank them for what they have given us we realise that the social context has changed and our church needs to move forward to cater for this new community and the needs of both young and old whether people have lived in the area for many

ts time to start talking tough, people if you have an analogue tv or recording device on The 3Rd December they will

not be able to receive a tv signal or record anymore. Over the past couple of months we have seen a huge increase in demand for replacement tvs from Analogue to digital and also a massive increase in replacing recording devices. We have realized how many people record regularly (mainly to avoid the ever increasing advertisements on tv) or trying to keep up with the never ending saga of the Bold and The Beautiful or Restless Years (amazingly a lot of Restless Years" or B&B fanatics are retired men and happy to admit it!), People also record to because of their busy schedules so they can watch certain shows at a time to suit themselves. There is a lot of ways to record tv shows these days but the two main devices are either PVRs (personal video recorders) or Hard drive recorders, there is also still available a LG model that can

play VCR tapes and record digital tv to DVD this model is usually for the occasional recorder who can't let go of those VHS tapes they haven't watched for 10 years. We have had best success with hard drive recorders such as Panasonic and LG due to the simple way to set recording times. I have set both brands up in store for demonstration and once people are shown the ease of how to set recording schedules with the new digital signal even the Technophobes are confident they will be able to do it. We often have customers come back down for a refresher course after the they miss recording their favorite show usually due to user error but once they are shown again they are back on track. So make sure not only your tv is digital ready but how you record must be upgraded as well.

I would like to make a few points about the feed back we are getting from customers re the switchover there has been a lot of talk about having to change your aerial for digital we have found that if your reception is good on existing analogue stations it will be ok for picking up new digital stations. We have also been asked many times about Foxtel or Optus pay tv, people are worried if the switch off will effect them, for those of us lucky enough to be able to afford

pay tv your service will not be affected. Another query often asked is about old dvds and VHS players they are all ok to connect to the new tvs for normal playback, make sure you mention this to us as we need to check if your new tv has enough of the old type connections. Some people are also enquiring about attaching a set topbox to

Our answer has been to add an additional speaker such as a sound bar (large add on speaker) or home theater setup. We can also add on cordless headphones which I personally use to get much clearer sound and block out the kids when I occasionally have time to sit down and watch some sport. It has been a busy time for Holmans over the last couple of

"Holmans deliver and install new TVs, we connect all old equipment to the new TV and remove the old television."

an old analogue tv which will also help you switchover but we find it adds another remote into the equation, it doesn't give you the advantage of widescreen picture so there is a lot of the picture that is missing and also a new digital tvs use much less energy than an old analogue set with a set top box attached. We have also had one negative comment about the new tvs regarding the sound in cheaper and smaller screen sizes the sound seems to be of poor quality, I think this is mainly due to most new tvs speakers are much smaller and face the rear.

months with the switchover and it seems to be getting busier as the time for the switchover approaches, keep in mind we deliver and install new tvs, we remove the old one and dispose of it as per government regulations for e-waste and also connect your old equipment if it is still compatible. So to all our more experienced and mature customers our advice is to get out there and spend the kids inheritance and freak them out a bit by getting a bigger size tv and sound system than they have got!

New fitness club opens Free fitness classes, a

seminar on 'Summer Body Secrets' by sports nutritionist Mel Scalene, and heaps of mini-fitness competitions, were all part of the fun at the recent opening of Anytime Fitness in Gladesville.

There was f ree access to the club during the day and some lucky members and guests won a Magellan ECHO smart watch, a lorna Jane

voucher, a deluxe car­wash from Awash, and a Rebel Sport voucher.

Rotary Club of Gladesville laid on a sau­sage sizzle and raised $120 for the bushfire appeal. Children got their exercise on a jumping castle out front, and guests and members received free advice from Function Physio Gladesville, and Chiro and Sportsmed Gladesville.

Adrenaline HQ and Muscle Meals provided taste samples of their health products and offered nutritional advice, and body building pro luke Schembri put in an appearance.

The Maverick Dragon Boat c lub brought the 'Erg' row machine and guests had a great time seeing how many rows could be achieved in 1 minute - the leader for the day got over 200.

Achieve an ideal weight within 30 days, claim

A l ane Cove based cl in­ic says it will guarantee clients will reach their ideal weight within 30 days of a first consulta­t ion.

It makes this guarantee without the use of extreme diets or exhausting exer­cise, it says, through a safe, relaxing and proven seven­step program that uses hypnosis.

"A major reason is because we use advanced hypnosis.

"Our advanced hypnosis system will give you the power to direct your mind to reach your ideal weight, guaranteed."

Lane Cove Wellness also says that each program is tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each client and that an average program session is around 60 minutes.

" In the relaxed state known as hypnosis we can communicate with your unconscious mind.

"That is why it is so quick

and easy to change the habits of a lifetime with hypnosis so you can reach your ideal weight."

With doctors stressing the dangers of both obesity as well as extreme diets which cause a sickly, ultra­thin weight, Lane Cove Wellness is quick to point out that each cl ient has an 'ideal weight' which can be quickly and accurately assessed in Lane Cove.

"At the initial consultation you will discover your per­sonal ldeai-Weight-0-Stat and Fat Furnace Flame along with getting a tailor­made program to reach your ideal weight in 30 days," Lane Cove Wellness says. "At the end of that period you can see for yourself that you are at your chosen ideal weight.

"There are no fads or crazy regimes."

Lane Cove Wellness acknowledges there have been old myths and mis­conceptions about the past use and misuse of hypno­sis, but stresses its tech-

nique is based on safe and scientifically sound meth­ods.

"Our system is based on advanced hypnosis and the latest NLP techniques combined with a proven seven-step program.

'These are completely safe and with hypnosis and NLP you are aware and in control at all times."

In contrast to some diets and many military style weight loss regimes, the system offered by Lane Cove Wellness does not use a one size fits all phi­losophy.

"Because your reasons for not being at your ideal weight are different from anyone else's, the steps you need to take and the changes you need to take are unique to you," it says.

"Lest us make it easy for you to reach your ideal weight by simply calling us on 1300 722 625 to make an appointment and keep that appointment."

Catering to a celebration or a special evening out

Courtyard Marriott in North Ryde is offering a range of options ideal for a celebration or an even­ing out.

Set in a secluded garden just off Lane Cove Road, the restaurant (right) fea­tures a sun lit terrace and breezy indoor seating.

Operations manager Tanya Ritter prides the res­taurant on being able to provide affordable options for guests and community members: "We are more than happy to accommo­date a range of needs for people from the local area," says Ms Ritter.

The restaurant has a range of weekday express

lunches, with daily specials like chicken parmigiana all priced at $12.

The Courtyard also offers a range of options for Christmas. A themed Christmas buffet lunch is available on Thursdays and Fridays for $45 per person. The lunch includes a com­plimentary beverage and shuttle to and from the venue.

The restaurant will also be holding a Christmas Day lunch. Priced at $160 for adults and $58 for children, the day will offer a tradi­tional Christmas meal with seafood and house wine and beers. There will also be live music, presents and

even a visit from Santa.

Courtyard Marriott focus­es on modern Australian cuisine with an internation­al flavour. "We have a mul­ticultural kitchen so we can cook and make nearly any­thing," says Ms Ritter. That bit of friendly competition between countries means that the kitchen staff are constantly innovating, she says.

The restaurant also employs Nikola, a barista who trained and worked overseas: "She is able to make piccolos and a real white chocolate mocha -my favourite."

The restaurant is open for breakfast, dinner and lunch

on weekdays. Comple­mentary parking is available for diners.

For further information phone 02 9491 9500 or email courtyard.northryde@ courtyard.com

The restaurant provides a variety of dishes includ­ing ali-day breakfast, mod­ern Australian lunches, such as rib eye steaks, and

specialty dining options for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mr. Zaikai says he has enlisted two award-win­ning chefs to help him deliver high quality food to the local area.

Chef Hen previously worked at the Garfish restaurant and specialis­es in preparing seafood and Asian fusion meals.

Chef Carlo, from the Sydney Rowing Club, concentrates on creating modern Australian dishes for the restaurant.

"During the summer months we will be offer­ing daily specials and a weekly dinner menu," says Mr. Zaikai.

Dalton Gardens Ryde resident Reginald Michael Wallace must be one of the lucky few who've re­ceived the Last Rites and lived to tell the tale.

During World War Two he served with the RAAF in Darwin and while the Japa­nese air force bombed the city, Reg was so ill from peritonitis he had to be fer­ried south for an operation where part of his bowel was removed.

No one then, 70 years ago, thought he'd have the strength to shrug death aside, but a few weeks ago the indomitable Reg celebrated his 1 OOth birth­day with 150 friends and relatives who'd come from all over Australia and from overseas to join him at the Hunters Hill Bowling Club.

Reg Wallace was born in Narromine in Central West NSW on the September 30, 1913 to parents Richard Wal­lace and Francis Taylor, one of 19 children in that family. He and his siblings grew up on the family property three miles out of town and later at a homestead in town.

Reg attended school at St Augustine's, run by the Sis­ters of Mercy and around the age 12 joined the 1st Narromine Scouts and later would become the Scout Master and District Cub Master for the area.

In the 1930s, as a Troop­er he joined the 6th Light horse which was later dis­banded due to mechanisa­tion. As the war had begun Reg turned to the RAAF and due to his great physi­cal shape was assigned du­ties as a drill and physical

training instructor. He was stationed at Laverton, Rich­mond, Wagga, Narromine and Deniliquin, where as a sergeant he met a young private from the Women's Auxiliary Air Force fYVAAF) Teresa Kathleen Cavanagh.

Reg was transferred to 31 Beaufighter Squadron where he attained the rank of Warrant Officer Disciplin­ary (WOO).

He was eventually sta­tioned in secrecy in Darwin and was under fire from the Japanese the entire time he was there. Reg's letters to Kath were censored and she had no idea where he was or what danger he may be facing.

This was about the time Reg became ill and was not expected to make a re­covery. His doctor told him that if he made it through he would be no good for heavy work and told Kath, 'That old man of yours is a pretty tough old bugger. '

Reg and Kath married in 1944 and after the war settled in Bondi, where they had two children. He was employed as a child welfare officer at Yasmar in Ashfield, and during this time he found land offered by Ryde Council at Moss Street West Ryde, which he bought to build their first home.

The family moved into the home in 1948 and another two children arrived. Reg then took up a position at Plessey Telecommunica­tions at Meadowbank as a pay clerk where he re­mained until retirement in 1978.

He was honoured in 1983

During World War Two Reg Wallace served with the RAAF.

by the 1st Putney Scout Group for service to scout­ing and his unassuming na­ture was compared to an ad­vertising slogan at the time, 'BP the quite achiever'.

Reg has a sincere interest in the lives of all of his six children, 17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and ex­tended family members.

Throughout their lives Reg and Kath made many friends in the neighbour­hoods they lived in and through local churches, es­pecially St Charles where they celebrated Mass, and Holy Cross College where they were members of the Parents and Friends long after their children had fin­ished school.

They unselfishly support­ed many worthy charities and were always helping with fetes to raise money for the schools and parish. They worked as volunteers

for many years at St Vin­cent's De Paul Ryde and also ran street stalls to raise money for the education of Aboriginal children.

Horrie Rudgeley has been a dear old mate of theirs for over 50 years and who, himself, turned 100 in Sep­tember this year. Horrie ac­complished something that no other person could, he encouraged Reg most vig­orously to relax by playing bowls and socialising on a Saturday afternoon at Put­ney Bowling Club where he remained a member for many years.

Kath and Reg moved into Dalton Gardens in recent years and thanks go to the residents, staff and volun­teers for the love and care they have shown.

Reg's faith and love of the Catholic Church has never wavered as has the endur­ing love and commitment to his beautifu I wife Kath who passed away in February this year aged 88.

He attributes his longev­ity to clean living: he has rarely drunk alcohol and hasn't smoked; he keeps to a simple diet and exercise, and is content with the hon­est hard working life he has lived.

During the lunch on his special day a number of presentations were made, among them congratula­tions from the Queen, the Governor General, the Prime Minister and the Premier of NSW. The Com­missioner for Scouting Aus­tralia NSW sent congratula­tions and commended Reg for his services to the move­ment.

THE WEEKLY TIMES

Record home prices from Hunters Hill to West Ryde In line with the team's expansion, First National Real Estate Gladesville & First

National Real Estate Ryde have been consistently setting new benchmarks across the district.

"We are heavily customer service orientated," says co-principal George Agostino.

"This, along with our team's great advantage of a broader buyer market

extending from Hunter Hill through to West Ryde, are assisting in our unique strategy of cross-matching buyers from all local sub­urbs to achieve new record prices."

Successful vendors with First National Real Estate Gladesville & Ryde principal Robert Bagala after their apartment at 714-6 Harvard Street Gladesvil/e sold for $565,000.

7 HERMOYNE STREET West Ryde sold for what most believe was well and truly above market value at $1 ,368,000.

Described as a 'grand entertainer with a grand fagade', this six bedroom home boasted elegant fin­ishes throughout; enjoyed a popular position with close proximity to quality schools and parks; was set on almost 950 square metres and boasts a superb life­style with resort style swim­ming pool and entertaining area.

14 DONNELLY STREET Putney set a new street record - selling successfully at auction for $2,033,000 which one local source says: "is certainly a result that speaks for both market conditions and that of how well the teams at First National are using their growing market share to advantage all sellers and clients."

Co-principal Robert Bagala added: "We are most fortunate in dealing with a lovely demographic of clientele across the board. The team is achiev­ing strong prices, sellers are happy, and our new members of the communi­ty/buyers are absolutely thrilled.

"From unit sales to water­front homes, prices are strong and the enthusiasm to purchase is equally very high," he said.

"This property is an exceptional family home, set in one of Putney's most sought after streets. It was a modern two storey four bedroom residence with contemporary design com­manding broad and elevat­ed water and district views.

7/4-6 HARVARD STREET Gladesville was recently renovated and enjoys a lovely elevated outlook.

It boasts a perfect loca­tion - only a level walk to city bus and the up-and­coming restaurant hub of

The property successfully sold last Saturday for $565,000.

"Our sales teams are offering a broad range of properties, and this year unusually, as late as next week will many more prop­erties start their cam­paigns," said Robert.

"It has been an outstand­ing year for growing prop­erty prices, but it is not yet over."

George adds: "We have even further expansion plans for next year, which will only better still the ser­vice and resu It for our new and existing clients ... just watch our logo change soon" he says.

~ry21 MC!fO One Real Estate Talk

Maximise the advantage of owning real estate • Have reasonable expectations. Aim for positive cash flow, but be realistic and

don't ask for too much rent or you may risk pushing out good tenants.

• Working on your rental property can be tedious. Sometimes it could involve many legal matters with a troublesome tenant. Consider engaging a professional property manager to take back your precious time.

• Federal and state laws determine your responsibilities and liabilities. You can't claim ignorance when something bad happens.

• Have your potential investment property professionally checked before you buy and avoid unexpected expenses down the road.

• Make sure your leases are legal. Confused wording might make it difficult to argue if a tenant violates the terms of the agreement.

• Make friends with your agent, lawyer, tax professional and a banker. They will be essential if you increase your holdings.

Ryde host Asia Pacific Tennis League round

Tennis NSW has confirmed its line-up for this year's Asia-Pacific Tennis League (ATL) conference in Sydney.

Representing NSW, rising tennis pros Matt Barton (Collaroy, NSW), Monique Adamczak (Strathfield, NSW) and Matt Reid (Dural, NSW) join forces with tennis champion and Olympian Casey Dellacqua (Coogee, NSW) and tennis legend Wally Masur (Balgowlah, NSW).

In its second year, the ATL conference is proving to be a highly successful, community competition with thousands of people turning-out last year to support their state.

This year's NSW/ACT

conference is expected to draw record crowds as pros, semi-pros and ex-champions from each team compete for a slice of the $11 0,000 prize.

The winning men's and women's team from each conference will also pocket $6000 each, with money being awarded for second and third spots.

Third round women's and men's matches were staged at Next Generation Ryde last week.

Tennis NSW's CEO Alistair MacDonald said:

academy head tennis coach, lV commentator and former worldttop 20 player, said: "The ATL is a team competition- there's great camaraderie in the NSWcamp.

"It's also about rallying the community, schools, local businesses, tennis clubs and centres, mums and dads - to get involved and support their team," he said.

The NSW/ACT Conference runs

CENTURIES by Shanachies star Jeff Cann, Leichhardt Bowling Club's Dean Johnson, Kaapilis United's Roger Faulkner and Holy Cross young gun Jake Stewart proved the highlights of recent fixtures in the 2013-14 Inner West Harbour Cricket Association competition.

Leading the way was the cavalier Cann, who smashed 12 sixes and nine boundaries in a superb knock of 131 to help Shanachies down West Ryde Warriors in a one day C Grade clash at Westminister Park.

Stewart carved out an unbeaten 11 6 and Johnson (1 01 not out) as the Crusaders and Leichhardt posted A Grade victories over Gladesville RSL.

Faulker hit an unbeaten 107 in his side's C Grade win over Anti Social.

Concord Briars all rounder Ambrose Plaister was in fine fettle registering scores of 90 and 69 not out to cap a big fortnight.

Gold rush for DSA paddlers PADDLERS from the Dragon Sports

Association Dragon Boat Club based in Rhodes produced outstanding perfor­mances at the recent Manly Dam Regatta.

The c lub continues to forge its way to the Australian Dragon Boat Championships in Queensland and ultimately to defend its title of World Champion in Masters Mixed 1 O's 500m in the 9th World Club Crew Championships in Ravena Italy, in September 201 4.

DSA Dragon Boat C lub always welcomes new members to come and try out this fun, competitive and social water sport.

W ith t he competitive Dragon Boat season now in full swing, steady rain failed to dampen the spirits of dedicated local dragon boat paddlers in the sea­son's second official event.

There was an impressive level of competition, with many of the top teams fielding mult iple strong crews across all divisions that resulted in fierce racing despite the inclement weather.

Dragon Sports Association fielded seven teams of paddlers over two age d ivisions - all eager to rise to the challenge.

The DSA crews dominat­ed in the 500m races, win­ning a total of three gold medals and one bronze while the Masters Mixed team b litzed the field to clinch their final by over 2 seconds - solidifying their previous v ictory.

Both the Premier Mixed and Premier Open teams won their finals w ith less than a second in it, and the lone bronze was won by the Premier Women team with little more than one second between them and fi rst place .

With possibly the most successful regatta in the Club's history, DSA President and Head Coach George Louie, had this to say.

"The team performed way beyond my expectations and the results demon­strate we have worked very hard over the last s ix weeks

More batting heroics for skipper Sparke

SYDNEY first grade cricket team are on the Twenty20 Cup finals prowl and in contention for a second trophy in three seasons.

Th e second ranked Tigers host seventh ranked Manly in a quarter final this Sund ay at Drummoyne Oval f rom 2.30pm and are br imming w ith confidence following victories over Fairfield­Liverpool, Newcastle and Mosman in the prelimi­nary rounds.

In other quarter final fix­tures, top ranked Sutherland host Randwick­Petersham at Glenn McGrath Oval; third ranked Campbell town- Camden square off with sixth-ranked Gordon at Raby Oval No 1 and fifth ranked St George line up against Parramatta at Hurstville Oval.

The Tigers' spirits are high following last week­end's rousing victory over neighbours Northern District in first grade action at Drummoyne Oval -thanks to a superb ton by skipper Tim Sparke.

In a thrilling tussle, the experienced Sparke hit an unbeaten 153 off 193 balls to guide Sydney to a two wicket victory over the Rangers, who declared at 9-317 on the opening day.

Sydney were tottering at 4-72 and 5-11 1 before Sparke produced key part­nerships with Dan Smith, Daniel Jacob and paceman Jake Turner to help the Tigers claim six valuable points.

The Tigers started their innings on a disastrous note with the Joss of young openers Tristen McDonald (0) and Ash Squire (2) before nightwatchman

'

Charlie Sayers (24) and keeper Andrew Lowe (37) added 50 runs for the third wicket.

Sparke combined with Smith (28 runs off 49 balls) for a sixth wicket union of 52 and also with Jacob (27 runs) in a valuable seventh wicket stand of 61.

The Rangers were poised for victory when paceman Scott Borthwick (4- 1 01 off 25 overs) dismissed English all rounder Brett Hutton for

a duck to have the Tigers 8-225.

But Sparke and Turner (27 not out) proved the heroes with an unbroken ninth wicket partnership of 93 to snatch an exhilarating victory in the 96th over.

Sparke's epic knock fea­tured nine boundaries and four sixes and followed up his unbeaten 108 in a record-breaking fourth wicket stand of 231 with Smith against University of NSW at the Village Green.

Tennis dynamo retires at 88 SHE'S served hundreds of aces and reeled off a multitude of backhand winners - now evergreen

Beryl Eagar of Ermington is ready to hang up her tennis racquet at the ripe age of 88.

Tennis has proved a way of life for the active sen­ior, who is retiring this week after 66 successive years of competitive ladies midweek tennis.

Beryl is pictured with her daughter and doubles partner June Lovett at the Ryde Tennis Centre courts w here they've racked up many a compe­tition triumph in the North-Western Suburbs Tennis Association.

" I've loved every minute of it but its time to give my legs some much needed rest" says Beryl, who turns 89 next February.

For six decades she stood by her motto:

"The more you do - the more you can do."

Constant practice and playing has kept this local tennis dynamo in tip-top shape for much of her career.

Beryl and daughter June,68, have proved a for­midable team during the past 31 years in Division 1 and Division 2 events.

"She mightn't have the speed she once possessed but my mother makes up for it with her courtcraft and ball placement," said June.

" It won 't be the same without her."

Introduced to the sport back in 1949 as a crafty 23 year old, Beryl quickly carved her niche in the Pa rr am a t ta - Gran v i II e Association.

With her fierce backhand, high fitness level and court mobility, Beryl proved a handful for opponents in the various grades.

" I remember using a two and six penny Coles rac­quet and playing five days a week - in charity events, ladies competitions or practice matches with the Inter-District kids," reflect­ed Beryl.

"Most of the ladies in the Association had a backyard tennis court so there were ample opportunit ies to hone your racquet skills."

"All the neighbours would play scrabble and tennis - a far cry from the sporting options that are available today."
