The Sub-Branch accepted his decision with regret and acknowledges his important contribution over the past two years. In a by-election for the position, the Immediate Past President of the SubBranch, Mr Bob Dobson AFSM OAM JP (pictured above) was nominated and after accepting the nomination he was elected unanimously. The 5HWXUQLQJ2I¿FHUZDVMr John Diews, Secretary of the Northern Metropolitan District Council. front cover story The Berowra Sub-Branch has engaged local tradesmen for the building of an Anzac Commemorative Wall at the site of the Memorial (pictured below - Remembrance Day 2014) near the Community Centre off The Gully Road Berowra. The imminent closure of the Asquith Nursery & Pre School and Asquith Leisure and Lifestyle Centre and Seniors centre has created confusion and distress with some in the community as people displaced from user groups VWUXJJOHWR¿QGDOWHUQDWHYHQXHV$OWKRXJKWKHVHSHRSOHNQRZWKDWWKH\ KDYHRQO\DPLQRULW\RIFRXQFLOORUVXSSRUWWKLVGRHVQRWGHWHUWKHPIURP UDLVLQJWKHLUYRLFHVDQGGHPDQGLQJWKDW+RUQVE\&RXQFLOKHDUVWKHPE\ VSHDNLQJDW3XEOLF)RUXPDGGUHVVLQJD5HVFLVVLRQ0RWLRQRQWKHVDOHDQG UHGHYHORSPHQWRIWKLVODQGXVHGIRUFRPPXQLW\XVHLQ$VTXLWK CONSTRUCTION STARTS FOR BEROWRA’S ANZAC COMMEMORATIVE WALL “Why We are Turning our Back on Hornsby Council ...” Asquith resident Joanna Beeston writes: Work has commenced on the Wall which will be unveiled and dedicated on Anzac Day, Saturday 25th April, 2015. The Federal Member for Berowra, Hon. Philip Ruddock MHR and the State Member for Hornsby, Matt Kean have been invited to participate. Grants towards the cost of the Wall and maintenance to the Memorial and surrounds were received from the Federal Department of Veterans Affairs and the NSDW State Government. Watch editions of The Bush Tele Weekly for regular updates on the Dedication of the Wall of Remembrance. Philip Ruddock MP “At the conclusion of the Hornsby Council Meeting in December 2014, the three Independent Councillors moved a Rescission Motion which stalled Council’s ability to take any further action in relation to the closure of Asquith Nursery & Pre School and the privatisation of the remaining three Council-run childcare centres. This motion was made after the majority of councillor’s voted to close Asquith and seek formal tenders from three private operators for the remaining three childcare centres. As a result of the Rescission Motion the matter is again up for decision at the Council meeting on Wednesday 11 February 2015. A stronghold of community members would like a new motion to include an amendment to allow Asquith Nursery & Pre School to operate a further 12 months to help families and staff to transitionout. Additionally they want the proposed Storey Park Asquith Community Centre to include space for a child care facility as was included in Council’s original Strategic Plan. People Power If you would like to add your voice to speak to this issue at the Council Meeting on 11 February 2015 from 6pm, you can register by phoning Hornsby Council: 9847 6666.

Laughter Yoga is practiced in a group setting, and is extremely effective – because laughter is contagious! As participants interact, the exercises stimulate laughter from all members of the group. One of the objectives of Laughter Yoga is to cultivate childlike playfulness, which KHOSVSDUWLFLSDQWVWRODXJKZLWKRXWUHDVRQ3HRSOHRIDQ\¿WQHVVOHYHODQG age group are able to participate. Laughter Yoga is based on the principles developed by its founder Dr Madan Kataria, (The ‘Guru of Giggling’), a medical doctor from Mumbai, India. It combines laughter-based activities, clapping and breathing into an exercise routine. It is based on the body’s inability to distinguish between real and fake laughter – both provide the same wonderful physical and SV\FKRORJLFDOEHQH¿WV7KHODXJKWHULVVLPXODWHGDW¿UVWEXWLWYHU\TXLFNO\ turns into real, spontaneous laughter. In our busy world we often miss the opportunity to really stop and just laugh uproariously the way we did when we were children. Laughter Yoga creates a space for people to have fun and release pent up stress and tension through a good deep belly laugh.

Brooklyn Students Visit WW1 Parramatta Story & photo by LCDR Mick Gallagher RAN/RANR Rtd With students back at school for 2015, Brooklyn PS students still remember their last school days of 2014. On Monday 15 December students were given a pre Christmas holiday treat with a cruise on the Hawkesbury River to visit the wreck of Australia’s ¿UVWZDUVKLS, the WW1 River Class Torpedo Boat Destroyer (TBD) HMAS Parramatta 1 (D55). Welcoming them aboard MV Bay Runner were the ship’s Master, Justin Pigneguy (ex Mooney Mooney / Brooklyn) & wife Catherine ‘the Admiral’ (both now of Sunny Corner, Hawkesbury River), and $GDP0LOZDUG Leading Deck Hand / trainee 4th Mate (ex Brooklyn). The wreck now lies on the northern shore of the Hawkesbury River below Cascade Gully opposite Milson’s Island, and is still visible even at high tide. 7KHERZDQG VWHUQVHFWLRQVZHUHFXWRIIby my fellow members of the Naval Historical Society in the 1970s. The sections are now erected as monuments on the shores at Garden Island, Sydney Harbour (bow); and on the Parramatta River at Parramatta (stern). Her WW1 sister ship +0$66ZDQ (D61) lies downstream below water off Tumbledown / Little Wobby, opposite Dangar Island. I joined the Brooklyn PS cruise with ART WORKSHOPS … for Over 55s 3pm.

President Ken Shadie gave the students a brief history of the famous ship, and a one minute’s silence was held at the wreck site. RSL members then cast ÀRZHUVRQWKHZDWHUIROORZHGE\WKH students also casting their tributes. On completion of the ceremony the students were then landed at Milson’s Island for an afternoon of activities with NSW Sport & Recreation staff. The students were accompanied on the day by teachers: Joel Iles, Penny Broome, Lauren Williams, Jenny Sistrom, and relieving Principal Paul Teunis of Patonga. )RUPHU3ULQFLSDO-HDQLH%URZQ has now taken a new appointment as Principal of the new Riverbank PS (a new estate near Kellyville). “A thank you to Principal Paul Teunis for involving the students in our local Navy history.

(S48172-1) (237046_v1) (28/01/2015) Thursday 5 February 2015 5 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Bush Tele, I was also disappointed that the front cover of The Bush Tele Christmas edition, (18/12/14), carefully omitted any mention of the word “Christmas”(ref Charles Rawson 15/1/15 and Robin Roberts 22/1/15). Magazines, schools, shopping centres etc are always worried about offending people of other religions, and of no religion, but it saddens me to see how it is apparently OK to offend Christians, by removing all references to everything connected to Jesus. In the past when Jesus was allowed in our schools, our workplace, our shopping centres, our country – everyone seemed to get on with each other a whole lot better than we do today. Getting rid of Jesus is not making the world a better place. Yvonne Graham, Berowra Heights You can’t judge a Bush Tele by its cover! Ed Dear Bush Tele, Surely we are not the only ones to feel this way? Dear Dog walker/s … Getting very frustrated at encountering other people’s doggy do-do from our red bin… and the footpath on occasion… please be advised that this particular family does not want your dog poo lurking in the bottom of the red bin for a whole week especially when you haven’t got the decency to bag it! See photo. After all, the Berowra dog park is just across the road. Take it with you and dispose of it there! Please also note there is a public bin right outside the Berowra Vet!!! Smithies@BH, online Dear Bush Tele, I would like to publish a plea to the parents of teenage boys in Berowra to ask where their young sons are on Saturday nights. On a recent night around midnight we were woken by a small group of obviously drunken young boys, shouting, swearing and when they discovered a garbage bin left out, they proceeded to roll the bin down the street and then kick it about. They then returned a short time later and did it all again. This happened in the Gwandalan Crescent area of Berowra. It used to be a safe, pleasant place to live. It’s becoming anything but. Parents need to exercise some SDUHQWLQJVNLOOVDQG¿QGRXWH[DFWO\ where their sons are when they are out late at night. Local Resident, Berowra. Dear Bush Tele, The article “New Campaign to get Drivers & Cyclists Travelling in Sync” TBTW 22/1/15, has merit if all obey WKHURDGUXOHVDVVSHFL¿HG7KH Amy Gillett Foundation has a great aim, but the awareness of many DVWRWKHWUDI¿FFRQGLWLRQVDQGWKH common road rules is lacking. I cite a recent occurrence which could have resulted in not only road rage, but a serious accident: ,ZDVGULYLQJVRXWKERXQGRQ3DFL¿F Highway where a group of cyclists were riding legally in the left lane. :KHQWKHWUDI¿FVWRSSHGEHIRUHWKH intersection at Kissing Point Road Turramurra, a number of these cyclists deviated across the two southbound lanes and also the two northbound lanes! I was waiting to turn right into Kissing Point Road from the Highway and had two cyclists ahead of me who were joined by two more cyclists. I do respect the right of all to use the roads, but I do ask the respect of all to obey the road rules, and also be aware of the potential for not only injury, but also the effects of trauma on all victims. The Amy Gillett story should not be repeated if we become more aware of the implications of our actions on the roads.

Cheryl Gurney writes: Dennis & I enjoyed a much-needed 17 day cruise on Radiance of the Seas around the Top of Australia and over to Benoa, then down the West coast to Freemantle, WA. This photo above was taken onboard as we sailed between Port Headland and Geraldton. Trevor Piper of Berowra writes: “In September last year Brenton, Glenn and myself explored the Himalayas on a15 day trek to Mt Everest base camp (5500 metres), Nepal. Travelling with 10 like-minded expeditioners from around the world, we experienced the challenges of trekking at altitude on a once in a life trip, with awesome panoramic views of several of the highest mountains in the world. We hiked many ancient yak tracks whilst under the guidance of the nepalese sherpas from Mountain Monarch Trekking.” Photo above: From left to right - Glenn Robinson of Asquith, Trevor Piper of Berowra and Brenton Piper of Asquith. Gabe and Ann Lomas of Berowra took a Bush Tele with them when they travelled to England in late 2014. Ann says, “Here we can see Gabe (pictured above) standing in front of the Grammar School that he attended in Steyning, West Sussex. If you look carefully you’ll see the date 1614! Yes, Steyning Grammar School celebrated 400 years in 2014. In fact its history goes even further back into the mists of time..... “ The Bush Tele travelled to Cardiff, Wales, UK with long time Berowra Heights resident, Marilyn Smith on her visit to her son, Sean Smith, daughter-in-law, Rachael and her two Grandchildren, Jessica and Katie (photo above). “Sean grew up in Elizabeth Street Berowra Heights but for the past 16 years been living in Cardiff, Wales.” The photo was taken in front of the entrance to Cardiff Castle.

This week I came across announcements that the new “Ghostbusters” is going to feature an all female cast, “The Fantastic 4” is being given a ‘reboot’ with a twist and that Harrison Ford has been replaced in the renewal of the classic “Indiana Jones”. I am not sure why the movie studios have this passion for remaking these classics – it would seem to me that they were fine as they were and that they should concentrate on new ideas and new stories but they don’t – it is obvious that they want to stick with a winning story, something tried and tested – they want to recreate something that already has had success - they want people to come to the cinema, pay for their ticket and then buy the Blue Ray but I think that there is more to it as well. Perhaps it is that people desire familiarity; that new ideas are harder to sell than old trusted ones; perhaps it points to the truth that Solomon pointed out “That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 Big stories always seem to get retold and refreshed for each subsequent generation. We are probably overdue for a new ‘Titanic’ or ‘Conan the Barbarian’, I know for a fact that ‘Batman’ is again in production and probably a lot more that I don’t even know about… it will be interesting to see if this trend continues in the coming years. I love new stories, new concepts and new ideas but I have learned something – men and women are always striving for something new: new discoveries; new understandings and new philosophies. But no matter how hard they try they cannot ignore the ‘old truths’ and the ‘old stories’. They may need ‘refreshing’ as a new generation looks at them with new eyes but the old truth is still truth… A lot of people discount the message of Christ because it is old…it has a lot of old tradition attached and occasionally looks like it is out of date – but just like the movies made for a new set of eyes, the story behind the packaging is still valid and worthy of a fresh look. I don’t know when the last time was that you had a look at the Gospel – the message of Christ – but perhaps it is time for some fresh eyes? DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT OR A QUESTION?

THE BUSH TELEGRAPH WEEKLY SPORT & REC WORKERS ENLIST MATT KEAN MP TO HELP WITH DEERUBBIN CLEAN-UP LOCAL RESIDENTS JOINED MILSON ISLAND SPORT AND RECREATION CENTRE STAFF LAST WEEK TO CLEAN UP MOONEY MOONEY’S DEERUBBIN RESERVE. The reserve is a popular boat launching site with locals and visitors but become a dumping ground over recent years and was in a heavily polluted state when the camp’s staff invited Hornsby State Liberal MP Matt Kean to join them for a mass clean-up effort. “It’s appalling to see so much litter and dumping going on at this normally beautiful spot next to the Hawkesbury River,” Matt Kean said. Matt Kean thanked the staff at Milson Island Sport and Recreation for taking the initiative by rolling up their sleeves and organising a clean-up day to remove the bags of rubbish which we collected. Staff organisers are hoping to make the clean up an annual event and are calling on interested members of the community to volunteer their time to help rehabilitate the surrounding local bushland. Anybody who spots illegal dumping is encouraged to contact local councils, the Environment Line on 131 555 or NSW Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

This term at KYB will be studying to find out who the Bible says Jesus is. Nazareth was hardly the place you would expect an important person to come from but it would seem that God does not work within the confines of social norms or expectations. We are looking forward to discovering for ourselves just exactly who Jesus is. KYB is a non-denominational women’s Bible study which meets every Thursday during term at St Mark’s Berowra from 10.30am -12.00 a crèche is available and we would love to meet you there. Just drop in. Emoji Back to School Costs a financial burden for many families With students heading back to school for 2015, many families who are already struggling with cost of living pressures, especially after the Christmas and New Year period, will be feeling the pinch of school costs. Major Bruce Harmer of The Salvation Army says it is understandable parents want the best for their children when it comes to education. “Most parents understand the importance of education and the benefits it brings not only to their children, but also society at large,” Major Harmer said. “As they say, education is one of the great equalisers in society; it can literally bring people out of poverty.” SENIOR FUTSAL IS ABOUT START. We are running competitions for seniors on a Monday and Thursday Night starting at 7:30pm all levels and abilities welcome. Futsal is a variant of Football and is played on a smaller field and mainly played indoors. It can be considered a version of five-a-side football. It was developed in Brazil and Uruguay in the 1930s and 1940s. In Brazil futsal is played by more people than football but does not attract as many spectators as the outdoor sport. Several futsal players have moved on to careers as successful professional football players. For more information please contact Michael 9477 2310 or [email protected] LEARN MUSIC WITH THE HORNSBY CONCERT BAND The Golden Kangaroos Hornsby Concert Band is set to leap into a busy year of music in the Hornsby Shire with community concerts, Baby Proms, parades and street performances. It is a dynamic community band and new members of all ages and abilities are welcome in our beginner, intermediate and advanced concert bands, marching band, stage band and several small ensembles. A new Discovery Band for beginners will start 16th February. Past years have seen retired people and teens, grandparents, parents and younger family members all learning together. The Golden Kangaroos new Associate Conductor, Jeanne Hope, said, “I would like a dollar for every time someone has said to me – ‘I used to play such and such...’ or ‘I gave up playing and really regret it....’, or ‘I’ve always wanted to play an instrument.....’ Well, the Discovery Band is an opportunity to learn with us!”. “The rewards are many - learning an instrument is a stress buster, it improves your mental, physical and emotional health, and by pushing yourself you become a stronger happier person,” said Jeanne. The band has some instruments available for hire and this is a great chance to learn in an encouraging environment. And for those who used to play and had to give up for whatever reason, this is a way to get back to the pleasure of playing music with others. The bands rehearse at Beecroft Community Centre on Mondays and Tuesdays. To register visit http://www.goldenkangaroos.org.au, ring Paul on 9868 3289 or email [email protected] The Economic and Social Impact Survey, commissioned by The Salvation Army, shows a significant number of its clients found their limited economic resources had a negative impact on their children’s wellbeing. 42% of Salvation Army clients could not afford up-to-date schoolbooks, equipment and new school clothing; 38% were unable to afford for their children to participate in school activities and outings; and 56% could not afford for their child to participate in out-ofschool activities (e.g. sports). Major Bruce Harmer says the costs associated with the start of the school year can mean the difference between a good education and a not so good education. “We all recognise school is a place of learning,” Major Harmer said. “However, the educational experience of students from a low socioeconomic background can be seriously impeded if their parents are unable to afford the basics such as new school uniforms, books, pencils, pens and backpacks, which not only contribute to their learning, but also self-worth and esteem.” Parents who are in need of back to school assistance at this time are encouraged to contact their local Salvation Army for assistance. Local contact details are available from salvos.org.au.

J 31 W tfi ld H Play Footy with your Mates and Train with the Greats AFL season is getting closer, so now is the time to register your child to play with Hornsby-Berowra Eagles. Boys and girls who play AFL with the Eagles develop new skills, make more friends and can even train with the Sydney Swans. For parents and players, every AFL season is brimming with proud moments. Like the magical thrill when your son or daughter kicks their first goal. As proud father David recalls, “We couldn’t wipe the beaming smile off Tim’s face for days”. With Hornsby-Berowra Eagles every child discovers the power of working as a team. And as manager Paul Stafford explains, “… that means they share the glory that comes with a game well-played.” One of the many highlights of the season is when the Sydney Swans turn up to Eagles games. The children’s faces light up when their sporting heroes offer game-changing advice. There are many special moments in every child’s AFL season, but 9-year-old Harry has a favourite, “I kicked a ball with Adam Goodes at the SCG!” If your son or daughter is aged 5 or over and would love to join the thrill of AFL in 2015, register with Hornsby-Berowra Eagles now to avoid missing out.
