This was backed up by a 1st overall result and another Half Marathon PB in the Penrith Half. Is there any stopping our Club Champion??? We eagerly await his results from Melbourne where Brendan will represent NSW in the Marathon. John Dawlings has been busy coordinating the Balmain Fun Runs to be held on Sunday October 31. Let’s hope we see a great turnout of Woodstock members both competing and helping out on the day. We were shocked to hear of Roy’s bypass surgery followed three days later by more surgery to install a pacemaker. Roy is now at a friend’s home and recovery is progressing well. We wish you the very best, Roy and we’re assuming there will be some great runs coming up following your complete recovery. Also on the sick list was Emmanuel Chandran who was admitted to hospital with a severe bout of food poisoning. You won’t be eating at that venue again, will you, Emmanuel. -

Agenda Traffic Committee Meeting
Willoughby City Council AGENDA TRAFFIC COMMITTEE MEETING NO 4/2017 16 August 2017 Notice of Traffic Committee Meeting to be held in the Banksia Room Willoughby City Council Administration Building Level 6, 31 Victor Street, Chatswood commencing 9:30am WILLOUGHBY CITY COUNCIL TRAFFIC COMMITTEE The following information is provided so that you may be aware of the structure and operation of the Willoughby City Traffic Committee. The Willoughby Traffic Committee is not a Committee of Willoughby City Council but a Technical Committee of the Roads and Maritime Services. Council has been delegated certain powers, from the Roads and Maritime Services, with regard to traffic matters upon its local roads. A condition of this delegation is that Council must take into account the Traffic Committee recommendations. There are four permanent members of the Traffic Committee, each of whom has a single vote only. The members are the NSW Police Service, the Roads and Maritime Services, the Local State Member of Parliament (for the location of the issue to be voted upon), and Willoughby City Council. Willoughby City Council operates its Traffic Committee such that the single Council vote, upon any issue is held by the Chair of the Meeting. Generally the Traffic Committee meetings are chaired by a staff member of Council’s Transport Management Group. Willoughby City Council allows the public to attend and speak at its Traffic Committee on issues of concern for a maximum of five minutes. If either the Police or RMS representative on the Traffic Committee disagrees with any Traffic Committee recommendation, or Council resolution on any Traffic Committee recommendation, that member may lodge an appeal with the Sydney Regional Traffic Committee for determination. -
Contaminant Chemistry and Toxicity of Sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: Spatial Extent and Chemistry–Toxicity Relationships
Vol. 363: 71–87, 2008 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published July 15 doi: 10.3354/meps07445 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Contaminant chemistry and toxicity of sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia: spatial extent and chemistry–toxicity relationships Gavin F. Birch1,*, Stephanie McCready1, Edward R. Long2, Stuart S. Taylor1, 3, Gina Spyrakis1 1School of Geosciences, Environmental Geology Group, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, 2006, Australia 2ERL Environmental, 3691 Cole Road South, Salem, Oregon 97306, USA 3URS, 116 Miller St., North Sydney, New South Wales, 2060, Australia ABSTRACT: The spatial distribution of chemical contamination and toxicity of surficial sediments in Sydney Harbour, Australia, was investigated in a 3-tiered, hierarchical approach. An initial chemical investigation throughout the entire estuary (Stage 1) indicated wide ranges and different spatial patterns in sediment chemical concentrations. Sediment quality guidelines (SQGs) were used as a preliminary estimate of possible toxicity in Stage 2 of the investigation. Assessment of chemical mixtures indicated that sediments in a small part (~2%) of the harbour had the highest probability of being toxic (~75%), whereas sediment in almost 25% of the port was estimated to have an inter- mediate (~50%) probability of being toxic. The SQG assessment in Stage 2 enabled careful stratifica- tion of the harbour into areas with different toxicity risks, reducing cost and time commitments in the final tier of assessment. The spatial survey carried out in Stage 3 involved concurrent chemical and ecotoxicological analyses. In this final stage, the degree of response in tests of amphipod survival in whole sediment samples, as well as in tests of microbial metabolism (Microtox©) and sea urchin egg fertilisation and embryo development in pore waters, generally increased with increasing chemical concentrations. -
