2 The BUSH TELE WHEELS FOR RYAN “Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about Wheels for Ryan” HORNSBY LIONS SUPPORT WHEELS FOR RYAN Hornsby Lions is proud to have been given the opportunity to help 10 year old Ryan Kim who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Ryan’s Story “Ten year old Ryan Kim (pictured right) was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age four. Before then, he was just like any normal, happy and active toddler. Life changed when the local preschool noticed that Ryan had trouble walking and could not use the stairs very well. Lots of tests later, the Kim family had to start dealing with the fact that Ryan’s life expectancy would be greatly limited. Ryan is a beautiful soul and a fighter. He has learning difficulties due to his condition but he has never given up on his love for school. In Year 3, Ryan’s physical condition worsened and doctors realised it was time he needed an electric wheelchair. Now in Year 4, Ryan drives his electric ‘wheelie’ around the school, always with a smile on his face. There was great excitement when Ryan received his ‘P’ plates earlier this year!

OCTOBER 2020 EDITION 5 Fact: Only 6.9% of NSW was impacted by bush fire in the 2019/20 fire season. This means there is a significant bush fire risk for the coming 2020/21 fire season. It only takes 5 minutes to improve or make a plan that will give your property, your family and yourself the best chance of survival. Get ready now at www. myfireplan.com.au WEATHER CONDITIONS AID HAZARD REDUCTION IN HORNSBY / KU-RING-GAI Favourable weather conditions across the Hornsby / Ku-ring-gai region have allowed the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) volunteers to complete much needed hazard reduction burns. NSW RFS Superintendent Mark Sugden said this will help protect local communities from potentially damaging bush fires. “The Service is committed to protecting lives and properties by reducing bush and grass hazards,” Superintendent Sugden said. “Hornsby / Ku-ring-gai NSW RFS volunteers have been working hard in recent weeks, undertaking a number of controlled burns. “Hazard reduction burns are weather dependant and while conditions remain suitable, NSW RFS volunteers will continue these activities. “While we will do what we can to best prepare for the fire season it is important that residents do what they can to prepare their homes and properties as well. “A few simple steps is all it takes and you should start by making a bush fire survival plan and discussing it with your family. “Know your fire risk and what you and your family will do in the event a fire threatens. Superintendent Sugden thanked local Brigades for their effort and commitment to the hazard reduction operations. “NSW RFS members are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week - ready to attend any type of emergency,” Superintendent Sugden said. “During busy periods our members give up a lot of their time and their dedication is admirable. “While we should all be proud of their commitment, the community should also recognise the support of the volunteers’ families and employers.” Hornsby Jewellers Local Family owned & run Jewellery Business Onsite WE NOW Alterations • Re-modelling • Repairs DO LASER Workshop Engagements • Weddings • Anniversaries ENGRAVING Services: Together we can design an original piece • Taxa�on & Accoun�ng of jewellery and quote while you wait. • Self-Managed Super Fund If you have your own gold • whether to save or sentimental - we can reuse • Bookkeeping, GST & BAS Returns • We also buy gold & jewellery in any condition • Business Advisory Julia Zhang Kurt & Daniel Seifert • ASIC Secretary Service CPA, Tax Agent, JP JEWELLERS • New Company Setup )ŇĩļĹ=’˦’ĩļ • Payroll & HR Services M: 0425 282 622 1A William St HORNSBY • Financial Modelling & Analysis Suite 4c, Level 1, 32 Florence St Hornsby (’ŕ’àà’ĩį he eal Ph: 9476 4711 www.sbataxaccountants.com.au [email protected]

OCTOBER 2020 EDITION 7 CAR PARKING HOTSPOTS TARGETED BY COUNCIL Providing sufficient parking has always been a challenge for many Sydney Local Government Areas and Hornsby is no different. Addressing a lack of adequate parking has been identified by many Hornsby residents as a priority across the Shire. Recently Hornsby Council undertook a major review of the current car parking usage across 17 precincts in the Shire and put together a “Car Parking Management Study”. The challenge for Council is to provide a balance between adequate parking supply and demand, to ensure long term viability of our town centres and destinations, whilst helping residents make a change towards active (walking & cycling) and public transportation. Parking HOT SPOTS in the Hornsby Shire include: • Brooklyn has a challenge with parking for both the river community residents and tourists. Many non-residents come through the area and utilize Parsley Bay where they park and launch their vessel. This could be a good opportunity for the implementation of paid parking for users who are not Hornsby Shire residents. Public transport to Brooklyn is expected to Part of the overall solutions for these areas will be encouraging the use increase once the railway disabled access is completed. of alternative transport options such as; using public transport , walking through the increased provision of footpaths and pedestrian refuges, • Berowra Waters, like Brooklyn, has parking issues for local increased cycling facilities and storage options and car pooling. residents, who have their own car parking area, and visitors Any recommendations implemented from the Parking Study will need to take to the popular tourist destination.

Since I took over as Minister for Energy and Environment, my goal has been to build a more sustainable future for our children, and to leave the world in a better place than we found it. I have been working hard towards this goal and recently released a report from the NSW Chief Scientist into the opportunities for NSW in a low carbon economy. The Chief Scientist identified 65 economic opportunities across the key sectors of the state’s economy, including services, energy, industry, the hydrogen. This green hydrogen can then be stored and used as a fuel to built environment, land management and transport.

Ku-ring-gai Council’s Climate Change Policy and accompanying action plan were adopted by the Council at its August 2020 meeting. The plan will support Ku-ring-gai’s transition to zero emissions through wide-ranging community education and investment in proven and emerging technologies such as electric vehicles, rooftop solar and renewable energy. Having already reduced operational emissions by 24% and annual energy costs by around $200,000, the new targets mean the Council will aim for 100% renewable energy by as early as 2025 and net zero emissions by 2040. Among the key actions proposed by the policy are: • A commitment to respond to climate change challenges • Aligning Council targets with the Paris Agreement and the latest climate science CLIMATE ACTION GROUP CALLS FOR GREEN RECOVERY Hornsby Shire Climate Action Group (HSCAG) recently made representations to the NSW State Energy & Environment Minister, Member for Hornsby Matt Kean, to express concerns over a proposal by mining giant Santos to locate 850 gas wells in the Pilliga Forest, near NarrabrI NSW.

When being stationed in Sydney for a 3 year period, Robert Talbot (photo below) married Annie Mason in Sydney in 1873. After returning to England with the Navy he finally finished his obligations and Talbot returned to Australia in 1874. Annie and Robert Talbot became early pioneer settlers at Catherine Hill Bay where he was originally a miner before establishing a pub there from 1875, which still trades today. He also established a general store and took over as postmaster in 1877. By 1879 mining had collapsed at Catherine Hill Bay and Talbot transferred to the north to become postmaster at Pelican Flat. He quickly became a very influential resident and community leader. In November 1887 Talbot successfully submitted a name change to the Postmaster General, from Pelican Flat to Swansea. In 1898, due to his wife’s failing health, he sold his business and moved the family to North Sydney, in the hope of helping her recover. By this time there were six children on the scene (3 boys and 3 girls) between the ages of 22 and 4 years of age. Unfortunately, Annie died in the family house in North Sydney, in July 1911, aged 58. Soon after his wife’s death, Robert Talbot sought a quieter life and moved to Berowra. He purchased land located on a bush track that ran off Peats Ferry Road. The bush track was known locally as Wattle Road, and later Talbot Road, until 1934 when it was formally named Yallambee Road. At the age of 70, Talbot cleared his land while living there in a tent. He eventually erected an early type of kit home (see photo below) with floorboards that slotted together and walls which slotted into the floor. It was a very small house with a kitchen, lounge room and a separate bedroom, perfect for an old bachelor. The house was named “Malehide” by Talbot, after “Malehide Castle” in Ireland which was occupied by the Talbot clan for nearly 800 years. He became locally known as “Captain” Talbot. The residents of Berowra greatly respected the old naval man and he was called on to represent the community for events such as Empire Day and ANZAC Day. He took a keen interest in Berowra’s children and instilled in them a lasting influence of the importance of God, King, National pride and of contributing to the community. He was also a Justice of the Peace which was a very valuable service to have available in Berowra in that period. Captain Talbot was heavily involved in the planning and erection of the Berowra War Memorial. He had the honour of performing the unveiling ceremony on 26th March 1932 in its original location, on the verge of the Pacific Highway near Berowra Railway Station (see photo top right). Two of his sons are listed on the Berowra War Memorial in Hugh Talbot and Leslie Talbot (photo right with Robert Talbot seated) , in recognition for their service in WW1. The elder brother, Hugh, earlier had served in the South African War (Boer War) where he was shot in the chest but was saved as the bullet stuck in the buckle of his bandolier. Years later Captain Talbot proudly displayed the belt and bullet in his Berowra home. Robert Talbot lived a very active life in Berowra for over two decades, until his death 3rd January 1935 at the age of 92. There is no doubt he was one of Berowra’s most interesting and influential residents.

“Talbot Way” in the Illoura Estate, Berowra is named after Captain Talbot.

OCTOBER 2020 EDITION 15 in our community In loving memory of Gwendoline Paterson 10/08/1927-26/07/2020 Mother of Bruce, Andy, Mary and Margaret, Mother-in-law of Sue, Margaret, Warren and David. Gwen was an active member of the Berowra Garden Club, U3A, St Marks Church and a proud supporter of the Berowra Footy Club cheering on her Grandkids and Great-Grandkids over the years and watching her son Andy building the club house and facilities at Warrina Street Oval. She very much enjoyed supporting local events and loved the Community Markets, the Berowra Wood Chop and Carols Under The Stars. An inspiring woman, great story teller and a delight to be around with her positive spirit for life and people, she was so warming to all that she’d meet. She packed her life with so much love, memories and adventures (as she loved to travel) and we have been blessed with so many wonderful memories in the impact of her life. She was an asset to this community in her positive spirit and she will be dearly missed by family and friends.

THANK YOU, PARAMEDICS! Story: Helen Oakey On Tuesday evening 11th August 2020, without warning Peter Oakey crashed to the timber floor at our home. Thankfully, there was a loud bang which alerted family members. For 20 minutes Peter lapsed in and out of consciousness. At one stage he struggled to sit up saying: ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.’ Then he collapsed again. Triple 000 was called and the ambulance was on its way, but another emergency call was also made to our Paramedic friend Steve Perryman who lives close by. Just before the ambulance arrived, Peter’s colour changed to white, then blue/grey. It was an enormous relief to hand over to the Paramedics when they arrived. Paramedic friend Steve arrived about the same time. As it turned out, two ambulances each with two Paramedics in attendance, plus Steve, were all needed in the fight to save Peter. We thought Peter was concussed from the fall, but later tests at Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) found he had suffered a heart attack resulting from a Massive Pulmonary Embolism (blood clot in the lungs) which stopped blood flow to his heart. The Paramedics could give no guarantee that Peter would arrive alive at the hospital, but he did. They saved Peter’s life. Doctors at RNSH were amazed that Peter lived through his ordeal, with one doctor saying that only 5% of patients with a Massive P E make it through CPR, outside of hospital. Doctors commented that the Paramedics were ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Awesome’. The specialist in charge of Peter’s case said, ‘Let’s just call you Lazarus’ – an apt name, as so many were praying for Peter. Peter is expected to make a full recovery. Our family of 17 wish to publicly say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to those amazing Paramedics who saved Peter’s life and our paramedic friend Steve. Their teamwork, and quiet - on the surface - calm efficiency (belied by the multiple ripped open plastic bags strewn everywhere) was incredible and we will be forever grateful. Special thanks too to the dedicated and professional doctors and nurses at RNSH who go above and beyond. Photo right: Peter Oakey with three of his 8 grandchildren.

18 The BUSH TELE Retirees feel more at home at Kokoda Residences’ retirement apartments At the ‘fork in the road’ that’s retirement, there are three signs: ‘home’, ‘residential apartment’ and ‘retirement living’. Located at Waitara, Kokoda Residences’ retirement apartments are designed for companionship.

While ‘home’ has its familiarity, and ‘residential apartments’ offer modern living spaces and amenities, Kokoda Residences’ community lets seniors rediscover life. All maintenance is done. Secure, underground parking with card access to resident only lifts and modern apartments add that sense of all-round safety. When residents are in a secure, happy place, then their families are too. With the risks buying into residential apartments, seniors are assured, there’s no liability living in Kokoda Residences’ retirement apartments. Furthermore, buying into Kokoda Residences’ ‘off the plan’ is a risk-minimising pathway you should know about. A fully refundable deposit and a 90-day settling-in period living in the completed community gives you added reassurance.

Saturday 7 November NSW’s peak body for local government is encouraging them to start thinking about it in 8.30am - 4.00pm preparation for 2021 elections. THE BEROWRA DISTRICT HALL Local Government NSW President Linda Scott said, “Women make up around half the electorate but currently 43 Berowra Waters Road Assorted Shrubs (including Lavender), Hanging Baskets, represent less than a third of all councillors and mayors across the State’s 128 councils.” Australian Natives, Annuals, and Succulents. Cllr Scott is featured with a number of councillors, mayors and Government Ministers in a series of videos as Time to freshen up the garden? part of the recent launch of the NSW Government campaign to inspire and encourage women in NSW to run as All proceeds HELP US HELP OTHERS candidates in the 2021 local government elections. “NSW continues to lag behind other States in Australia when it comes to female in local government at around 31 per cent, while most other states are also closer to 40 per cent,” Cllr Scott said. Cllr Scott, who has been a City of Sydney councillor for eight years, said the issue had to be addressed because women had a lot to offer their communities. Plus, being a councillor can be a personally rewarding experience. “I first ran for council because I wanted to make sure my local community continued to be a wonderful place to live. I have two sons and I wanted them to grow up in a place that had lots of facilities and parks,” Cllr Scott said. “I also wanted a council that acted on global issues like climate change as well as local issues such as ensuring people had an affordable place to live. “It’s been rewarding to be part of council and make a difference, and I hope this new campaign will encourage other women to get involved,” Cllr Scott continued.
