Learn about the fascinating history of
World War II when Brian Boettcher visits
Hornsby Library to discuss the vital role of
Australian code breakers during the war.
Brian will speak at the library on Friday

He will also delve into the little-known
history of our own code breaker Eric Nave.

The Battle for Milne Bay by Brian Boettcher: “I dedicate this
book to all the Australians and Americans who served in
Milne Bay in August and September 1942. Most suffered
this hell hole to be left with physical and mental damage
for the rest of their shortened life. Those captured were

ships ran the constant risk of attack from I class Japanese
submarines or Japanese Cruiser attack, but did so to serve
the Australians in the Milne Bay. The enormous courage
and determination of the Australian soldiers and American
Engineers in Milne Bay has largely gone unrecognised. This
book hopes to right this wrong. The Japanese also suffered
greatly; their nation was diminished by the memories,
horrors and events of the Milne Bay campaign.”

Time Man and the Environment
C
reator of Hornsby’s Fountain in
the Mall, Victor Cusack, arrived
in the Shire last week from his north
coast home to be interviewed by
ABC TV’s Anne Barker for a feature
on the future of his iconic artwork
created in the early 1990s.
Polarising at best, the Fountain is
loved by many and disliked by some,
but one thing is for sure: everybody
has an opinion about it.
According to Hornsby Shire Council
who claims to have spent $600,000
on its maintenance over the last
10 years, “the water feature is a
spectacular piece of art and an icon
of Hornsby. However, it has only
ever functioned as a clock for short
periods of time.”
It is plain to see that Council has
increases as it ages.”
One aspect of maintenance that
wouldn’t cost the earth would be: the
structure needs a good clean, and
not from the sudsy soap detergent
that some person regularly dumps
in the water, but a proper wash to
remove the algae.
A powerful group, comprised of
EXVLQHVVDQGKLJKSUR¿OHSHRSOH
has re-formed The Friends of the
Fountain in a move to promote the
icon of Hornsby to its former glory
… a combination of three waterpowered clocks – a 4th-century BC
Greek clepsydra, an 11th-century
Chinese water wheel clock and a
17th-century Swiss pendulum clock
– plus a 17-note bronze carillion to

Meet … Mr & Mrs Bower …
Following on from Mike Holland’s spring time visitor
on the front cover of The Bush Tele edition of 10th
September, I thought readers might be interested in
the photo I took of ‘Mr & Mrs Bower’.
I’ve had a bower bird in the garden for several months
now and after much patience, managed to get some
interesting stills on the weekend. Looks like Mrs Bower
has approved the ‘bower works’ although no sign of
nest building anywhere yet.
Richard Bonniface
be denied that both these important
aspects of modern life require proper
maintenance, and that requires a
budget to be allocated: neither one is
more important than the other.
Friends of the Fountain President
and Director of Shores Restaurant,
Paul O’Neill doesn’t mince his words
when he says, “I talk to a lot of people
here in the Mall, some who like the
Fountain, some who dislike it but they
all agree that it is a disgrace that it
has been neglected by council.”
Paul continued, “Where is the
stewardship? Where is the
custodianship? Council has an
obligation to the ratepayers who
paid over $1 million 23 years ago
to build the Fountain, to maintain it.
By withdrawing from the Fountain,
council is cheating the people of the
Shire.”
Through the Friends of the Fountain
and the Hornsby Chamber of
Commerce, Paul will be pursuing a
better deal for the future care and
control of the Fountain.
The words “’Dare We Forget’
emblazoned on the Fountain when it
was created was indeed prophetic,”
said Paul.
Victor and the Friends of the Fountain
are determined to present Hornsby’s
unique icon as a primary tourist
attraction, a place of celebration, a
tangible reminder of climate change
and our responsibility to our natural
environment … Dare We Forget.
On the other hand, Council maintains,
“The water feature has always been
an important meeting place in the
centre of Hornsby and will remain so.
However, nobody has ever used it to
keep the time and it’s unclear if they
ever will”?
ABC TV will screen a feature on
the future of the fountain on its
national weekend program.

Community Centre/hall (Mt KCC)
held on Monday14th September saw
the election of a band of dedicated
local residents to the new committee
for 2015-2016.
Along with my fellow Councillor
Robert Browne (B Ward) of Pennant
Hills, I attended the AGM with
Julia Morton, Hornsby Council’s
Co-ordinator for Community &
Cultural Facilities. Councillor Browne
YROXQWHHUHGDVWKH5HWXUQLQJ2I¿FHU
and declared all positions vacant.
The new elected committee members

Neil Gow, Treasurer Letitia WatsonLey, General Committee Ric &
Donna Purcell.
“I thank the Mt Kuring-gai committee

for rallying together in saving our
historic hall from possible closure,”
said re-elected Chairman Floyd.
“We still however need more
YROXQWHHUVWR¿OOWKHSRVLWLRQVRI
general committee members to inject
new ideas and lighten the load.”

The AGM also saw the retirement of
Judith Lightowler (nee Menkhorst)
who had joined the committee in 1991
as Secretary, a position she held for
19 years.
Judith and hubby Les have lived in
their Mt K home since 1979 having
married in Christchurch NZ in 1975.
Some History …
The hall has been used as a focal
point for the community for many
years and was originally a Methodist
Church. It was sold in 1977 to Hornsby
Council for $30,000 with a wish that it
remain in use by the craft group and
children’s play group.
On Saturday 9 May the Mt Kuringgai Hall committee held a 2015
Community Day.
The next Mt K committee event is
Halloween on Saturday 31 October.

HORNSBY OLD Bs …
Celebrating 25 Years
H
ornsby (94) Chapter of the Australasian Order of Old Bastards
(AOOB) has celebrated its 25th birthday with a cake cutting ceremony
at Hornsby RSL Club on Tuesday 22 September.
“We thank all who have supported us over all these 25 years, especially
Hornsby RSL Club which has generously donated to our children charities
DQGSURYLGHGXVWKHIUHHXVHRIWKHFOXEIRUFRQGXFWLQJUDIÀHVDQGRWKHU
fund-raising events,” said AOOB President, Mick Gallagher of Mt Colah.
Mick, who is also a Hornsby Shire Councillor, took the opportunity to
celebrate his own birthday on 21 September as did other Old Bs such as
Ian Campbell of Mt Kuring-gai (on the 24th).
“Calling your mate an ‘Old B’ is an old Aussie saying as a term of
endearment, and not an insult. It was much used by our servicemen in
World War 2,” said Mick.
“I would also like to thank retiring Hornsby AOOB President Robert Foody
of Mt Colah, for his dedication to the AOOB charity over these 25 years,”
added Mick.
Robert was the original treasurer when the AOOB Hornsby (94) gained its
charter on 27 March 1990. Fred ClearyZDVLWV¿UVW3UHVLGHQW5,3DQG
Graham Moss of Hornsby the Secretary. Graham is now Senior VP of the
Hornsby RSL Fishing Club.
The new AOOB Committee intends to gain more local recognition through
a presence at local events and social activities whilst still maintaining its
charitable commitments.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Bush Tele,
Just wondering if you have noticed
that the price of petrol around
Berowra is not moving much?
,QIDFWLWZRXOGDSSHDUWKDWZHDUH
paying 8–10c a litre more than
those ‘down the road’.
Local consumers need to start
taking action against the majors
Coles Express and 7/11, or we will
soon have the most expensive fuel
in Sydney. The BP at Rushcutter’s
Bay is the only dearer petrol station

but thank you!

Dear Bush Tele,
Surely common courtesy would be
to collect your dog faeces … time
and time again dog owners leave
behind lumps of sh*t.
You are obligated by law to collect
it not leave it behind in front of our
letter box! You know who you are...
Fed up, Berowra.
Dear Bush Tele,
RE: $312K Berowra pool money
Many residents have asked the
question of, what happened to the
$312K federal grant for Berowra pool
that earned no interest in 25 years,
and what’s happened to the money
from the sale of property in Berowra,
including those along Berowra
Waters Road?
Well there is not going to be any
Berowra pool as we can travel to
QHZRQHLQ+RUQVE\,VWKLVIDLU"
The $312K will be used for something
ZRUWKZKLOHLQ$:DUG,VLWIDLU
years of interest was not included?
Some people suggest the council
VKRXOG¿QLVKWKH%HURZUDFURVV
roads park as planned 15 years ago;
others suggest to continue with the
pool while a different group of people
suggest a covered sports/rec area.
What do you the residents think the
$312K should be spent on?
The Mayor also stated the $2.8m from
the sale of the Berowra land was used
in the construction of the Hornsby pool
with the rest of the funding coming
from the shire wide levy. Berowra
residents have traditionally been the
‘heavy lifters’ of the shire as far as
funding facilities are concerned.
,QWHUHVWLQJO\+RUQVE\SRROLVWREH
expanded because it’s full.
What do residents think about this? Do
you think at least a bit of the money
from sale of Berowra assets should be
used for something north of Hornsby?
Tell The Bush Telegraph (editor@
WKHEXVKWHOHFRPDX\RXUWKRXJKWVRQ
this as well as, importantly, councillors.

Review
SUZUKI VITARA
by Mark Higgins
Compact SUVs are all the rage these days and the newest kid
on the block is the just launched Suzuki Vitara.
While the nameplate is familiar – it was first seen in 1988 – the
Vitara is all-new and according to Suzuki blends SUV lifestyle and
urban convenience.
After sampling both models in the new Vitara range, the entry
RT-S and the flagship RT-X, I’d have to agree.
Both models radiate an eye-catching style with standard features
including 17-inch alloy wheels, a reversing camera, LED Daytime
Running lights and privacy glass. The RT-X also gets a panoramic
sunroof and suede/leather interior.
Inside it is extremely roomy, comfortable and quiet and Suzuki’s
engineers have done an excellent job of separating the occupants
from road and other outside noises. There’s also plenty of
luggage space. The dash features an easy-to-use seven-inch
touchscreen for the satnav, digital HVAC controls, entertainment
system and Bluetooth.
While the RT-S is front drive only, the RT-X gains Allgrip 4WD
with four modes and greater off-road ability. The ride and handling
of both models is very car-like, dispatching bumps easily and
cornering with poise.
Both share a very frugal 1.6 litre, four-cylinder engine that drives
through a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
Pricing is RT-S from $22,990 manual, $24,990 auto.
RT-X auto is from $32,990.
All Vitaras have loads of standard kit, a quality feel, excellent
driving dynamics, and a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
To me the Vitara RT-S manual was the pick of the bunch at
outstanding value.
Hornsby Suzuki
Whether you're around town or up at the snow, nothing
stands out like the all-new Vitara. With looks that are
overtly capable yet undeniably stylish, this is a compact
SUV with an in-built ability to turn heads.
'You are what you drive' takes on a whole new meaning
in the all-new Vitara. Mix and match colours, interior
trims and wheels to suit your taste and make your allnew Vitara as individual as you are.

are reviewed
by at least two
specialist breast
radiologists.
“Two pairs of trained eyes carefully
studying the mammograms will detect
PRUHVLJQL¿FDQWEUHDVWFDQFHUVWKDQ
one pair alone,” says Dr Jennie
Noakes, Designated Radiologist of
the BreastScreen NSW Northern
Sydney and Central Coast.
This is just one of the quality
measures in place at BreastScreen
NSW to maximise the detection of
breast cancers. To maintain quality,
radiologists are required to read
a large number of mammograms,
at least 2,000 every year, to work
for BreastScreen. The radiologists
receive regular feedback on their
performance, and must meet the
National Accreditation Standards.
The mammogram images also
undergo regular quality checks
to comply with these National
I thought that I could get one more
day out of it but I was wrong…I
squeezed and squeezed, all that
came out was a small amount of
toothpaste, not enough to get the task
done. I even tried using the back of
the toothbrush to squeeze the tube a
little harder but still nothing came out.
There was nothing for it but to head
downstairs and across the road to the
convenience store to get some more.
I have been travelling quite a lot
recently and I always have my soap
bag ready to go but I very rarely
check it before I leave – usually I am
in places that I can resupply but it
always seems that something runs
out at inappropriate times.
I knew my toothpaste was getting
low but I thought that I could last one
more trip but it wasn’t to be…
Making sure that you have enough
supplies for your family is an ongoing
job; the more people who live under
your roof the more challenging it
becomes. The challenge of making
sure you buy the food that they want
to eat, the right amount that they will
need, that you anticipate what will run
out before you next get to the shops

budget that is available. Looking after
a family is hard and sometimes you

sides and it seems like there is
nothing left within.
Everything in my natural world seems
to run out, there are limits upon my
resources and I cannot do much
about that…but there is one powerful
thing in my life that I have found to be
without limit and never runs out.
I have found that the provision of the
Lord has never been diminished over
the 37 years that I have known Him.
Never once have I felt like I have
been squeezing the end of the tube
or drawing out the dregs of something
that is even close to approaching its
use by date…
So I would encourage you that the
next time you come to the end of
something that is important to you
that you recall that there is a supply
and a supplier that never runs out
and that he has enough for you.
So when you need to call out to
“Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or
think” Ephesians 3:20

“Behind the scenes, a team of
experts including breast specialist
radiologists, pathologists and
surgeons, regularly meet to review
individual cases, make consensus
decisions, and monitor the overall
progress and quality of the clinical
service. These meetings give
us valuable insight into some of
the challenges in breast cancer
detection,” says Dr Noakes.
“So when BreastScreen says
have a breast check, we mean it.

“Kids are bored out here. And it’s
easy to get negative. But the things
that have always been the same - the
humour, the resilience,the creativity,
the capacity - it’s still all there. It just
needs a vehicle”. Michelle Leonard,
Moorambilla Voices Regional Choir

Galston’s New Pool Nearly
Complete
The new learn-to-swim pool at Galston Aquatic Centre is expected
to open by the end of October, weather permitting.
Hornsby Shire Mayor Steve Russell said, “This is going to significantly
expand the ability for local children to learn to swim, while it’s also going
to free up valuable space in the existing pool.”
“At the moment only one and a half lanes can be used for learner swimmers, which only allows for four teachers at a time. The new pool will
allow for an additional 950 lessons each week.”
The new pool is 14.4 metres by 8.7 metres, with a depth of 1.1 metres
throughout, and will be heated to 31 degrees Celsius.
“One of the great benefits of this new pool is that we will now have water
temperatures that suit each of the groups who use the aquatic centre,”
Mayor Russell said.”The new pool will cost $450,000, though it is not
going to impact Council’s bottom line.”
The extra capacity for swimming lessons will mean the new pool will pay
for itself within 10 years,” Mayor Russell said.
Have you or someone you
know ever had a friend or
relative in PRISON?
If so, you’ll understand the hurt
and pain experienced by those
left behind to cope with the devastating consequences.
Kairos Outside Sydney offers
a life-line. The heart of this
Christian ministry is a residential
weekend program, held every six
months. Participants are offered
time, space and safety to explore
new friendships and fresh options - and to draw strength and
on-going support from others
who know how it feels when a
friend or relative goes to prison.
There is no cost, and transport
will be provided. All women from
all backgrounds are welcome.
The next Kairos Outside for
Women Sydney weekend
dates are 13-15 November
2015 at Lutanda Lodge
Yarramundi NSW (near
Richmond). Contact: Kairos
Support Office 02 9987 2016.

Berowra Cricket Club Update
Unfortunately, a wet Saturday meant the second week of Round 1 was
washed out for most juniors’ teams. However, the rain had subsided by
the afternoon to allow play for the seniors in their 2nd Round of T20s.
A number of regular A Graders were rested to give several young up and
comers a chance to show their skillset.
Dan Boyle made the most of his opportunity striking a classy 60* which
included only four dot balls. The score of 127 was run down with a ball to
spare, but the benefits associated with giving youth exposure outweighed the
match result.
Richard Nash (47*) and Liam Kissick (2/17) were the strong performers in
2nd Grade’s narrow loss to Sydney Lions.
Hammad Khan (77) starred for 3rd Grade as Vahistad Patel (2/11)
continued his strong pre-season form to lead the side to a comprehensive
98 run victory.
The young 4th Grade side had a tough outing against an older and
stronger Galston-Glenorie side.
5th Grade however extracted semi-final revenge from last year;
comfortably defeating WPHC by four wickets.
Juniors now have a two week break as they head into school holidays.
The seniors look forward to Round 1 this weekend, which is highlighted by A
Grade’s first home game of the year at Berowra Oval.
1st Grade 5/127 (D Boyle 60*, N McNay 23) def by Sydney Lions 8/128 (F
Perrin 2/16, T Marriott 1/19)
2nd Grade 9/119 (R Nash 47*) def by Sydney Lions 4/121 (L Kissick 2/17)
3rd Grade 4/170 (H Khan 77 B Adams 31) def Sydney Lions 9/72 (V Patel
2/11 C Moloney 2/14 K Baxter 2/17)
4th Grade 68 (L Silver 21) def by Galston-Glenorie 2/70
5th Grade 6/79 (R Tapner 41*) def WPHC Red 75
