WELCOME TO NOVEMBER

Welcome to November (originally the Roman’s ninth year) and springy things like Jacaranda blossom, pollen allergies, longer daylight and the soon to be arriving smell of summer sausage sizzles.

But that’s jumping the gun (more on that later)*. Before that, November still has to bring us Melbourne Cup day, Remembrance Day, The Feast of Saint Andrew and, of course, early Christmas shopping.

The Feast of Saint Andrew is particularly relevant this year, as apart from being the patron saint of Scotland, he is also the patron saint of Russia and Ukraine. The feast is on Nov 30 and a miracle cease fire on that day would lighten hearts of millions throughout the world. Could C.S. Lewis be right when he says that "Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature."?

No matter, the Melbourne Cup, longer days and warmer weather are certainly cause for celebration and even though La Niña could still be around until February 2023 we are cautiously beginning to feel it is coming to an end.

The article about “Potholes” on P11 of the paper gives an example of how disruptive La Niña has been, but it also shows how well our local councils have responded to the challenges we have faced. It informs us that Randwick’s “Pothole Heroes” have responded to the challenge by repairing one thousand, six hundred and one potholes since the start of the year and August 2022. That’s three times more than in the usual six month period.

And the paper also mentions other heroes, like Peter Lavac who completed a world record Surf-Ski Paddle across the South China Sea from Hong Kong to the Philippines to raise $100,000 dollars for Hong Kong orphans. The record was covered Channel 7 and turned into a documentary.

See P14 for other details of his “dare devil” adventurous life and love for speed and high risk activities.

Another triumph over adversity is the successful launch of the Kings Cross Distillery. At a time when all around were recoiling from the shutdowns of Covid, they took run down premises between Llankelly Place and Macleay St, Potts Point and turned them into a present day Gin Distillery. Not only that, but they launched their award winning gins and took out international prizes. Robert Cooper and James Underwood, founders of Sydney’s first legal distillery at the foot of Cascade St, Paddington, in 1824, would have been proud of them and reasonable to expect that in just two years time KCD will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Sydney Distillery.

Other positive stories can also be found in this edition of the paper, including the Monday Nightingales Choir first live concert for three and a half years (P13), Sunscreen Fund Raising opportunities from Sunsational Body Care (P18) and the incredible Death By Corrie Cookbook (P14) – We encourage readers to take advantage of the last two, both to keep us safe from the sun and to give outstanding gifts to friends at Christmas time.

As always we thank all the people who make this paper possible, including our writers, advertisers, printers, distributors and customer support and design team. And finally we thank our readers for their kind comments and positive feedback. Like everyone we appreciate being appreciated. Thank you.

21st Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize winners

Bruce Reynolds has been announced as the winner of the the winner of the 2022 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize. Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize is Australia's pre-eminent prize for small sculpture and the first national acquisitive prize for an original sculpture of up to 80cm, presented by Woollahra Council. Bruce Reynolds has been awarded the $25,000 award, for his work, “Animal Kraters”, which will be acquired for the Council’s permanent public collection, joining previous winners Tim Silver, Robert Owen, Yvonne Kendall, Rhonda Sharpe and Mikala Dwyer.

Winning artist Bruce Reynolds commented on the award: "It is gratifying and validating to win this highly competitive award. It is a form of recognition representing the other side of studio practice, where labour is invested on faith, well away from the art world. This is especially so for artists working without representation or searching for a new model of relationship with their audience.

it enables me to continue in the studio with increased resolve and ambition, keeping the distraction of costs

bay a while longer. My sincere thanks to

WSSP

Nabilah Nordin received the Special Commendation Award of $2,000 for “Glut Cherry”, while Peter Tilley was selected for the Mayor’s Award, winning $1,000 for “The Next Voyage”.

Cr Susan Wynne, Mayor of Woollahra, said: "It is always difficult choosing the Mayor’s Award, however I was instantly drawn to Peter Tilley’s work, “The Next Voyage”. This piece is simple yet complex and each time I looked at it I felt something different and it took me on different journeys in my mind, which is exactly what great art is all about. Congratulations to everyone involved. Such incredible talent."

The winning sculptures were chosen from a finalist group of 49 works, chosen through a blind selection process from 684 entries, by a judging panel comprised of Sydney-based artist Joan Ross, Gallery Director and Curator José Da Silva and editor of contemporary visual art publication Artist Profile, Kon

Gouriotis OAM. Hailing from every state and territory in Australia, and New Zealand, finalists include Ara Dolatian, Amala Groom, Franky Howell, Antoinette O'Brien, Leonie Rhodes, Lynda Draper, Mai Nguyen-Long, Michael Cusack, Pippin Drysdale and Vipoo Srivilasa.

WSSP 2022 COMMENDATION Exploring an eclectic mix of themes including loss of identity, decolonisation, the

reimagining of ancient stories and artefacts and gender identity, the 2022 finalists’ works will be on display at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf in an exhibition running until Nov 20, 2022. All sculptures are on sale to the public with prices ranging from $500- $27,500. Admission is free and the galler y is open Wednesday to Sunday.

THE COOPER ESTATE –DANIEL COOPER 2 - PART 4

In previous articles, we have heard how Daniel Cooper, an emancipist became part owner of the equivalent of 70% of the future Municipality of Woollahra, including the present suburbs of Point Piper, Rose Bay, Bellevue Hill, Double Bay, Woollahra and large parts of Paddington. We continue the story as he becomes the sole owner of all this land in 1847, prior to transferring it all to his nephew Daniel Cooper 2 and his family, when he died, without issue, in 1853.

Daniel Cooper 2 was born in Lancashire in 1821 and travelled in infancy to New South Wales with his family returning to England in 1835 for further schooling. In 1839 he began training for a legal career which he abandoned to join a mercantile firm at Le Havre, to gain commercial experience. A year later he returned to London to work in the counting house of his uncle, Daniel Cooper 1, the emancipated convict who had earlier made his fortune in Sydney and had returned to England in 1831.

Clearly a deep and trusting relationship existed between uncle and nephew. When Daniel Cooper 2 returned to Sydney for

health and family reasons in 1843, although he became a commercial partner of his brother-in-law, James Holt, he was still closely associated with his uncle’s business, Cooper and Levey. In short order, James Holt was to return to England and by 1948, the partnership was dissolved and Daniel and his elder brother established Cooper Brothers, which was then reputed to be about the most extensive mercantile house in the Australian colonies. At this time Daniel was 27 years of age!

By 1852 Cooper Bros, became Daniel Cooper & Co and was solely owned by Daniel who had seriously prospered from his extensive involvement in the gold rush years. Then, when his uncle died in 1853, Daniel at 32 years of age inherited further wealth. Indeed, owning extensive property in and around Sydney and large pastoral interest in the western districts, he was possibly the wealthiest man in Australia!

Daniel Cooper 2, a surprisingly kind and humble soul, was active in the affairs of St Mark’s from its inception and in 1849 was involved in the defence of the Reverend F T C Russell; the first incumbent of St Mark’s Chapel of Ease; along with Thomas Whistler Smith, Sir Thomas Mitchell, Edward Knox and other prominent churchmen.

He was clearly a man of great character, trustworthiness and competence and was appointed a director of the Bank of New

AUSTRALIA

South Wales of which he became President in 1855. In 1849 he was elected to the Legislative Council, and re-elected in 1853. It was fitting then that when the colony formed its own Legislative Assembly in 1855, he was elected its first Speaker.

Despite all his wealth, Daniel Cooper 2 was associated with prominent liberals such as Charles Cowper and Henry Parkes and was a financial supporter of the Empire newspaper which stated that his political views were “of so liberal a cast, that were he less identified with the great interest of property, he would be set down as a dangerous democrat!”

Next month, we shall continue the fascinating story of the Cooper Estate. We will discuss how Daniel Cooper 2, the unassuming, humane and generous nephew of an emancipated convict (Daniel Cooper 1 - who had been convicted of stealing and transported to New South Wales in 1816), was to become the Baronet of Woollahra in 1863 and one of the world’s wealthiest men.

with the commuter parks in swing seats!”, she said.

Political integrity was also a major theme of her campaign. Ms Freyer called for NSW ICAC to be “independently funded, so that no politician can grant or withdraw funding to suit her own political ends”. She also demanded a better process for public appointments: “no more jobs-for-mates” she told the crowd, to loud applause.

Community independent Karen Freyer launched her campaign for the state seat of Vaucluse at the Royal Oak Hotel in Double Bay in October, with a speech focusing on local issues, integrity and the environment.

Ms Freyer promised to “fight to make sure that we, the people of Vaucluse, have a say in what gets built in our community, and to try to “break the unhealthy nexus between politicians and developers”.

Touching on other local issues, Ms Freyer called for a long-discussed second high school to be built in Vaucluse “it’s time for construction to begin on the much-needed second high school that’s been promised to us for way too long”. She said she would fight for “more buses and more ferries to ensure residents can access healthcare, get to work, do shopping and visit friends”, and demanded more EV charging stations in Vaucluse.

She criticised the two party system that means that safe seats like Vaucluse are ignored. “Like many of you, I feel let down. Unheard. Taken for granted. On election days, I trudge to the polling booth trying to decide which politician I dislike the least”.

Ms Freyer stressed her independence and local roots. “I was born and raised in Vaucluse, and have it in my bones”. As an independent, she promised to “fight hard against the “industrial-scale” pork barrelling that’s been going on for too long”. “Enough

As in the federal campaign, the environment and climate change were prominent. These are often lumped together, but Freyer wants to improve both.

She said she would “fight tooth and nail to make sure the NSW government does not allow a single new coal or gas mine to be opened in our state” and also to “replace tax-payer subsidies for fossil-fuel-extraction companies with smart investment in renewable and clean energy initiatives”. If elected, she would “fight for measures that foster a strong, sustainable economy in NSW”.

Ms Freyer called for an end to logging of publicly-owned native forests, and for the creation of a “Great National Koala Park”.

In closing, she returned to her roots in Vaucluse. She said she was “extremely concerned about recent reports of the re-emergence of anti-semitism in some of our schools” and promised to work with the “elected members of the Jewish community, including the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, to stamp it out”.

She promised to represent Vaucluse, not any particular party, saying “This parliament isn’t here for politicians to have careers: it’s for the people of NSW to shape the future of our community. It’s for the people of Vaucluse, and all our sister electorates around NSW”.

Distillery flavours Kings Cross history

In the heart of Kings Cross, within charming Llankelly Place, is the Kings Cross Distillery (KXD). With tables for around 20 outside, KXD continues inside with a bar, cellar door and restaurant featuring a micro-distillery plus an intriguing historical interior, its formal address in Macleay St, Potts Point.

Named for Joseph Hyde Potts, the first accountant of the Bank of NSW, coincidentally, KXD’s co-founders are spirit architect Odelia Potts and her husband Khare Aoun. Though Odelia can’t confirm a familial link with Joseph, her ancestors did originate from the same corner of England – so they could be related, way back. Another eponymous item is the still itself, called ‘Miss Pottsy’.

Once a sly-grog bar, the building has also been an adult bookshop as well as an illegal gambling den. “I’ve been told [punters had to know the] special door knock – then it’d open,” informs Odelia.

Potts Point has always at tracted the famous and the infamous – including the notorious "Razor gangs" of the ’20s and ’30s and The Beatles, who stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Macleay St in 1964.

Local history plays a key role in KXD’s building decor as well as its products. A

wall near the still is decorated with pin-ups and duplicates of old newspaper articles showcasing scandals. Headlines include ‘Riotous All-Night Orgy’ and ‘£3 for a bottle of gin that contained kerosene’. Those times are in sharp contrast to the present, where Odelia insists on the best. “With the gin, I must have good quality.”

KXD launched with t wo ultra-premium spirits - meaning they’ve been 12 times distilled. First was the Australian Classic Dry Gin: “It’s based on a 1937 recipe I found from England, which is around the time I wanted to celebrate the history of the area – I added a couple of special Australian botanicals.”

Then the Garden Island Nav y Strength was released. A peninsula of Potts Point, Garden Island was the kitchen garden for the First Fleet. “So I wanted that gin to be really herbaceous. It had to be over 57% ABV to qualify as Navy Strength because anything over that ignites and in the old days, when they were paid in alcohol, sailors would use gun powder to ensure they weren’t being ripped off.”

To tie in with the red-light local hi story, as well as to literally ‘spice-up’ the flavour, two aphrodisiacs are also included.

“People love this,” Odelia reports.

Latest releases are two Minerva lines – Wise Cut and Warrior Strength - a nod to the nearby iconic Minerva Theatre, which

opened in 1939. As well as the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, Medicine and War, Minerva was goddess of Craft –appropriately, as it’s a craft gin. KXD also offers an extensive list of top-quality wines, created by a Sommeliers Australia consultant, while the menu offers delicious choices.

For an interesting evening sp iced w ith history, why not try KXD – or hold a Xmas

party there, where you and your guests can craft your own products.

When travelling with essential items like prescription glasses or hearing aids, it pays to prepare for the unexpected.

Wh en it comes to hearing aids, there are consumables that may need changing mid-holiday, such as domes, wax guards or batteries. Make sure you pack spare consumable items. Many hearing aids and cochlear implant speech processors are powered by rechargeable lithium batteries and have chargers. Don’t forget to pack your charger, and an international power adaptor is a must. One adaptor and a power board to charge all your electrical gear is recommended.

If you are concerned about the timing of flights or flight delays, then take spare batteries or your charger with your on-board luggage. For rechargeable devices, your seat on the plane will ideally have an electrical outlet for charging. This can be confirmed by searching online if you know

your seat details, or by contacting the airline directly.

Heari ng the entertainment system can be difficult if you rely on hearing devices.

Over-the-ear noise cancelling head phones can work. Streaming the audio via a remote accessory (such as a Multi-mic) to your hearing devices is another option.

Many people opt to download movies or audiobooks onto a personal device, such as a phone or iPad, and wirelessly stream the audio to their hearing devices.

Travel i nsurance for loss and damage of your hearing devices will typically require specifically itemising them with your travel insurer. To further protect your devices, keep any packed items in a watertight bag - just in case a toiletry bottle leaks in your luggage. Travelling with a back-up hearing aid or cochlear implant speech processor is always an excellent idea.

Happy travels! From the team at Edgecliff Hearing call 9327 8280

Walkabout

I begin my walk where Queen St meets Oxford St at Davies Reserve. The reserve is situated on land that was acquired in 1911 and named in honour of AId. C.W. Davies in 1951. Ald. Davies was a Woollahra Alderman during late 1940's and 1950's, and mayor in 1953. A garden fountain donated by the National Trust and originally from the house Rosemont, was installed on Nov 29, 1987.

From humble beginnings in a small warehouse in Pyrmont, Sydney, Simon Johnson now has retail stores across Australia, in addition to its extensive wholesale and distribution.

I could not find the origins of the building.

Futher on down Queen St on corner of Moncur St is the Moncur Hotel. The hotel was designed by Cyril Christian Ruwald (1895-

1959). Ruwald was one of several architects who designed hotels for Tooth & Co during the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Redfern, Sydney, Ruwald attended Sydney Technical College and was indentured to the architects Waterhouse and Lake. In 1917 Ruwald enlisted in the Field Artillery Brigade and sailed for France, where he served during 1918.

I hope you are all well and happy as lockdown is over and the sun is now shining. There have been many changes around us in the past few years particularly with those in business things have changed rapidly.

If you would like to talk over any problems please dont hesitate to phone me 0414 273 104

I have 25 years of knowledge and experience with the Tarot Cards, and they can help open up hidden information and unlock any problems and guide you to plan a positive future.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

THE DEATH CARD is the Tarot Card for Scorpio. But don't be alarmed, as this only means there will be dramatic changes ahead for you. You have probably experienced more disappointments than most which makes you very wary.

The award-winning Hughenden is a gracious historic hotel and is associated with Australia's first philosopher and Professor of Divinity, Barzillai Quaife, The Hughenden was built in the late 1870s by his son, Dr Frederick Harrison Quaife, who brought the first x-ray machine to the colony. His initials can still be seen etched in Lombardic script above the front door.

The Hughenden has a chequered history, from the Quaife's gracious residence to a Masonic Hall, nurses' home, dance hall, The Riviere College for young ladies and lodgings until eventually falling into disrepair. Re-discovered in 1992, The Hughenden commenced a program of extensive restoration, redeveloping into a beautiful boutique hotel.

Further on at 36-40 Queen St is Oddfellows Hall Building, constructed in 1870 as a Tobacco Factory then in the 1920 as a Masonic Lodge. Named Oddfellows Hall from the 'Loyal Rose of Denmark, Lodge of the Manchester United Independent Order of Oddfellows', it was designed by architect John Frederick Hilly. It was restored in the 1970's by Leo and Ann Schofield.

During the 1920s Ruwald worked with Reg Prevost, a noted patron of young architects including Sydney Ancher, before spending time in Europe during the 1930s Depression. On his return Ruwald established his own practice and was instrumental in adapting the streamlined horizontal look of European modernism to hotel design. His Cross Keys Hotel, Newcastle set the pattern for many others including the Canterbury, Vauxhall, Woollahra and Premier hotels. The Beach Hotel, Merewether is perhaps the most intact of Ruwald's numerous 'modern' hotels. Ruwald also designed the Greengate (Killara) and Bull and Bush (Baulkham Hills) hotels.

As well as hotels, Ruwald's practice encompassed apartment buildings (notably Selsdon, Macleay St, Potts Point), banks (for the Bank of NSW) and numerous residences. A champion golfer, Ruwald designed club houses for Cammeray Golf Club and other sporting clubs. He also designed alternations to two significant Sydney buildings: the City Mutual Building, Hunter St and the former Grand Central Hotel, York St.

You have had many cha llenges in your life and now you will be facing new challenges that look positive but you must avoid manipulation. Times are changing rapidly, although your life has been very interesting. You were given unique gifts to help and support you in all that you do. These gifts will ensure that you are able to succeed in the year ahead. There will be a positive outcome ahead as long as you take one step at a time and don't make rash decisions.

Lucky Gemstone: Garnet Lucky Number: 9 Lucky Colour: Red or Maroon

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE is the Tarot Card This card shows a wheel constantly turning. Although it's a wheel it has four corners which means you are steady and grounded. You can sometimes be unpredictable. You are always speaking your mind and therefore you can be impatient and outspoken and you tell it how it is.

This end of Queen St has developed into a noted precinct for antique dealers after Bill Bradshaw opened his shop at No 96 in 1957. This was the catalyst for the revitalisation of Queen St, which for some decades was given over almost entirely to the Antique/Gallery business.

Another interesting building is across the road on the corner Victoria St, which is now leased by Simon Johnson. Simon Johnson has provided chefs, restaurateurs and home cooks with quality, unique products since 1992.

Across the road is the Woollahra Post Office, built in 1905. Before the post office was built, there was a butcher’s shop on the block. Woollahra Post Office shut its doors in February 2011.

You are a person who should work for yourself as you will always go your own way. There are changes and opportunities ahead for you. You are an adventurer at heart and should always take time to travel. Your ruling planet is Jupiter which is a sign of good fortune. This sign brings good fortune your way and will always help you no matter how dire your circumstances.

17-storey tower approved for The Juniors Kingsford

Pot hole hot shots

The Juniors Kingsford has been given council approval to build a 17-storey tower. At September’s Extraordinary Council Meeting, councillors voted in favour to increase the maximum height on part of the site from 31m to 51m.

Council minutes state that the Kingsford site still requires the “preparation of a site specific DCP chapter to address design implications for the site.” A DCP, or Development Control Plan provides detailed planning and design guidance for new developments, in line with Randwick Council’s Local Environmental Plan. Although the NSW Planning Department does have the final say on increasing building heights.

The news was met by a swarm of backlash from residents concerned with overdevelopment in the area.

One Facebook user wrote, “the developers will be wringing their hands in glee, with all the profits they’ll make, and the new precedent it creates.”

Eastgardens have only exacerbated resident concerns about the impact of developments on the community, including increased traffic, loss of privacy and increased noise.

The Juniors site was previously rezoned in 2019 to 31m, which now due to 2022’s meeting is approved to 51m, or as high as 17-storeys.

Greens Councillor Philipa Veitch said that “this kind of development has no place in our community and our residents have had enough.”

It comes as issues of gambling continue to dominate the Australian news media landscape. The SMH reported last month that the club had a 30% increase in pokies revenue in its 2020-21 annual report, amounting to $8 million.

Some residents still have hope, saying it will “be several years before the plan would be realised” as South Juniors are still yet to lodge an application with the NSW Planning Department.

and they start by loading up the truck with the emulsion and asphalt needed to get their job done.

On average, they repair around 10 to 12 potholes a day, depending how far they need to travel between each one.

As any drivers on our roads know, it’s been a particularly rough season for potholes. Rain is the enemy of the pothole. To be repaired properly and effectively, the road and the hole needs to be bone dry. That’s been a tough ask with the kind of year we’ve had.

Sydney received 1547.4mm of rain during the first six months of this year, making it the wettest January to June period in 164 years. Then July arrived. It was recorded as the wettest July ever, just in the first two weeks of the month. The average rainfall for the month of July is usually 96mm. This July, we received 404mm of rain in the month. And now we're bracing for another wet summer ahead.

For the team, this has meant a lot of never-ending work under tough conditions.

How to report a pothole

Once Council receives a pothole request, they aim to repair it within three days. However, this can be tricky when they receive many requests. They do their best to prioritise high-traffic areas. Here’s how to report a pothole:

1. Visit the website and use the Contact Us form. Choose “Report a Problem” from the drop down menu and you’ll be taken to a map. Enter the address of the pothole and click next. From there, you’ll be asked to fill out a form and you’ll receive an email confirming the pothole has been reported.

2. Call 1300 722 542 and speak to one of the Customer Service representatives who will log the pothole for you over the phone. Or email with all the information on Council@randwick.nsw.gov.au.

3. Use Snap Send Solve. Download the app and register to use it, then take a picture of the pothole and it will be sent to the appropriate authority – whether Council or Transport for NSW.

The stage is set for The Monday Nightingales Choir concert

The Monday Nightingales choir will hold an end-of-year concert at 3pm on Sunday, Dec 11, 2022.

“Curtain Up” will be their first concert for three years and they will be singing in an exciting new concert venue at All Saints Church, Ocean St, Woollahra, which is a beautiful church with splendid acoustics.

The Monday Nightingales fi rst sang together in April 2013, and they are looking forward to their 10th anniversary next year. Many of the founding choristers had been students at The Music Practice in Surry Hills and wanted to keep singing together after that business closed at the end of 2012. Starting with 12 singers, The Monday Nightingales now have a choir list of more than 70 with a waiting list for sopranos and altos. The success of the choir has been due to the brilliance of their Musical Director, Tanya Christensen.

Tanya had been a teacher at the Music Practice and many of had seen her amazing ability to inspire and encourage singers of all levels. From the start, it was decided that this would be a non-audition choir and singers of all levels of experience would be welcomed.

They have continued with that philosophy and have a wide range of singers ability with a passion for singing.

As well as her very extensive teaching career of students of all ages, Tanya is a very talented performer. She is currently a lead vocalist with the Australian Army Band and has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the Australian troops there.

She has also appeared in a wide variety of productions including musical theatre and opera as well as the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

As has been the custom in the past, there will be no charge for the concert, but they will be collecting donations for the Australian Children’s Music Foundation, a charity which provides musical instruments and opportunities for underprivileged children in Australia.

They run an extensive programme of musical tuition throughout Australia. The Monday Nightingales choir has supported this charity since 2016 and generous donations from concert attendees have enabled us to give the charity a total of $18,280 over the years.

The Australian Children’s Music Foundation was started in 2002 by Don Spencer, the children's television presenter, singersongwriter, and guitarist. Some might remember Don from 'Play School' where he was a presenter for many years.

The Monday Nightingales choir does not require choristers to audition. Any tenors or basses who are interested in joining us should contact Valerie King at: themondaynightingales@gmail.com

DEATH BY CORRIE COOKBOOK

Recipes from a bygone era, illustrated by some of Australia’s most talented and renown cartoonists and illustrators!

Once upon a simple time ago, when it was the norm to cook with what are now classified as ‘taboo or unhealthy’ ingredients like sugar, salt and fat, Nana Corrie Lee would cook up a storm for her family - and it did them no harm! More than likely there were no artificial colours, flavours, or chemicals in any of the ingredients. Now, in complex modern times as we explore thousands of different cuisines and ingredients, it’s refreshing to go back to the simple basics that guarantee family and friends asking for ‘seconds please’. You just can’t ignore these classic favourites that are sure to bring a smile to your face and comfort to your belly.

To celebrate the wonderful array of meals and desserts, every recipe of the Death by Corrie Cookbook is hilariously or thought-provokingly brought to life by some of Australia’s greatest cartoonists and visual artists, including:

Michael Be ll, Peter Berner, Peter Broelman, Warren Brown, Patrick Cook, Jules Faber, Rocco Fazzari, Matt Golding, Jon Hawley, Leigh Hobbs, Fiona Katouskas, Brian Kogler, Simon Letch, Johannes Leak, Mary Leunig, Peter Lewis, Tony Lopes, Mark Lynch,

Reg Lynch, Paul McDermott, Matthew Martin, Kerry Millard, Reg Mombassa, Judy Nadin, Steve Panozzo, Victoria Roberts, Buddy Ross, John Shakespeare, Stuart Spence, Mel Stringer, David Wales and Cathy Wilcox.

All profits raised from the sale of the $34.95 cookbooks will go directly to support Dying with Dignity NSW; an advocacy organisation that successfully lobbied for voluntary assisted dying law reform.

The Death by Corrie Cookbook’s Producer and Editor is Tanya Lee, Founder of The CorriLee Foundation, an organisation that helps bring charities and people together. Tanya is the granddaughter of the late Corrie and consumer of each of these delectable delights .

What to do when you've done it all: Survive & Thrive

Peter Lavac is a man who has done it all - And, in the words of Frank Sinatra's song, he's done it his way. And now he wants to do something to help others. But first lets find out how he's done things his way.

Admired and respected by many there are a few with whom he is not popular. Read on and form your own opinion.

For a start he readily confesses that he is an adrenaline junkie. Adrenaline he tells us can be strongly addictive and can lead to participation in dangerous activities with no regard for physical, and mental consequences.

For Peter they include racing his Lamborghini at over 300 kilometres an hour, motorcycle riding, amateur and professional wrestling (useful when this saved a judge's life at Darlinghurst court or disarmed a gunman at the Sydney Hilton) and completing a world record surf-ski paddle across the South China Sea from Hong Kong to the Philippines to raise $100,000 for Hong Kong orphans. His "cast caution to the winds" attitude has even seen him on the "wrong side of the law" when he registered a risqué number plate for his Lambo. We can't show it here as it's a family paper, but he finally replaced with this: -

There's no connection to building blocks - it stands for Extra Large Ego - "Nice Guy, or Narcissist" wonder people. No matter, his humour shows through and has served him well in darker times. But more on that later.

He has been a criminal barrister, fighting and defending over 100 murder trials in Australia and Hong Kong and was recently interviewed on Channel 7 about his legal opinion on whether Chris Dawson would be found guilty or not guilty.

He also faced the cameras as star of the gangster movie "Crazy Love" that premiered on the Central Coast to a standing ovation. Gifted, happy and lucky it seems. But in April of last year he competed in the Targa Tasmania Race in which three of his colleagues were killed. And in this year’s race another colleague was killed on day two of the race. Not only that but, Peter also blew a tire at 300 kilometres per hour at Eastern Creek during high speed training. But these were not his dar kest hours. Those occurred when he fought not only prostate cancer, but also lung cancer. Times when loneliness prevailed and there was no-one to talk to who understood. It was a battle he fought with help, but all alone. A battle which he says is his biggest claim to fame and one that placed him in the 2% club, for sadly 98% of those suffering the lung cancer that he had do not survive.

What he experienced cha nged his life and filled him with the determination to be there to support others and let them know that

cancer can be survived and that "A cancer diagnosis is not an automatic death sentence."

His message is that sufferers can "Survive & Thrive", and a group of that name was created at a recent network night at Club Rose Bay. He is currently producing a podcast to give hope and inspiration to cancer sufferers dealing with the problems he encountered.

The Podcast is titled “The Lam bo Lawyer” and can be accessed on Spotify, Acast and Applecast.

PREVENTATIVE IMAGING: Understanding your risk is the first step in lowering your risk

It is well known that medical imaging is used to diagnose, treat or manage an existing medical problem, but did you know this technology can be used to prevent health issues even before they develop?

To discuss preventative imaging in more detail, we talk to Dr Rohan Sabharwal, specialist radiologist and practice manager at PRP Diagnostic ImagingMoore Park.

WHAT IS PREVENTATIVE IMAGING?

Preventative imaging can be used to detect specific diseases in the hope of finding (or better yet preventing) disease early. When diseases are discovered in their early phase, they can be treated early, and result in better outcomes.

WHAT TYPE OF PREVENTATIVE IMAGING DO YOU OFFER AT PRP? At PRP, we offer a number of preventative imaging tests.

Coronary Artery Cal ciu m score: With the sudden death of cricket legend Shane Warne from a heart attack, people of a similar age start to think about their own heart health. In fact, one fifth of Australians aged 45-74 years have a high chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years. If you are over 45 years, you can have a regular heart

health check with your GP. They can check your cholesterol, blood glucose levels and blood pressure, and if appropriate, may refer you for a Coronary Artery Calcium Score.

A Coronary Artery Calcium Score measures the amount of calcified plaque in the arteries. It’s a quick, non-invasive test that takes around 15 minutes. Based on the result, we are able to predict your future risk of heart attack/stroke. Understanding your risk of having a heart attack or stroke is the first step in lowering your risk. Consult with your GP to see if a Calcium Score is appropriate for you.

DEXA scan: There are many causes of osteoporosis. Ageing is the most common, well-known factor, but medications used to treat Chrohn’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and breast cancer can lower bone density. In addition, excessive alcohol, lack of calcium, corticosteroid therapy, smoking and lack of Vitamin D also impact bone health. By having a DEXA scan, we can determine the status of your bone health and your GP can discuss appropriate treatment options to prevent future fracture. DEXA scans are quick, painless scans and take around 10 minutes.

Mammography: A mam mogram is an X-ray picture of the breast. Screening mammograms are used to check for breast

HEAD ON PHOTO FESTIVAL 2022

Annually, Head On Photo Festival presents ground-breaking photographic stories. Catch their stunning exhibitions at Bondi Beach from Nov 4.

Judges select all exhibiting photographers through Head On's unique judging process, in which they judge works anonymously, ensuring a diverse range of stories and equal opportunity.

This year, exhibition s and conversations explore important global issues - the impacts of COVID-19, global conflict, refugees, feminism, motherhood, pop culture, the environment, youth homelessness and gentrification.

The program featu res unique insights into war, displacement and refugees from two rising stars. Sahat Zia Hero documents life from within Bangladesh's largest refugee camp where he lives and 21-year-old Syrian photojournalist Mouneb Taim, who has been capturing the reality of war-torn Syria since he was a child.

THE FOUNDATION

Head On Foundation (not-for-profit est. 2008) was created to celebrate talented national and international photographers at all career stages. "Our goal is to make photography a platform that is accessible for all. We are very excited about this year's images' global-scale and creative range.

Each photograph tells a story and allows the viewer a glimpse into worlds unknown," says Moshe Rosenzveig OAM, Founder and Creative Director of Head On Foundation. He continues, "The event is family-friendly and enjoyed by Sydneysiders, interstate and international visitors of all ages. The exhibitions' appeal merges the boundaries between everyday people, photographic enthusiasts, and artists. It's the perfect way to enjoy the sunshine, particularly after the previous two years of lockdown."

Launch pa rty and Head On Photo Awards To launch the Festival, Head On Foundation will celebrate with an opening night on Nov 4 in the newly renovated Bondi Pavilion, where the winners of the 2022 Head On Photo Awards will be announced.

The highly anticipated Head O n Photo Awards are the centrepiece of the Festival and underscore Head On's philosophy of recognising and awarding photographic excellence no matter the photographer's experience or background.

Boasting a prize pool of $70,0 00 - includ ing $30,500 in cash - Head On Photo Awards offers Australia's most significant prize for photography. Judges include internationally renowned photographers,

picture editors and curators, such as Azu Nwagbogu (Founder and Director, African Artists' Foundation) and Kaya Lee Berne (Photo Editor, National Geographic Magazine). The Awards present outstanding photography across three categories: Portrait, Landscape and Student Awards. Head On Photo Festival 2022 major sponsors include Create NSW and Waverley Council.

JOIN SYDNEY EASTERN SUBURBS’ LARGEST COMMUNITY NETWORK

Starting as a community project to publish local news online during Covid, the Eastern Suburbs Network now covers the area on the map.

group categories exist that make finding information much easier.

In addition every member of every group is also a member of the whole group so someone in Rose Bay can contact someone in Little Bay to ask about a local art exhibition.

Charities can jo in for free and share news with their members in private and news with as many local communities as they wish.

The same is true for Social Clubs and Businesses, who can share details of events and special offers.

The netwo rk also enables many other things. For example it can be used as the newsfeed for a local community website.

another has been written by a local student who got in touch after reading the paper.

The network covers 24 key suburbs in five LGA's and is open to anyone to join as an individual or as an organisation, in the following categories: Charities (free), Social Groups, Businesses, Sponsors and Media.

Please visit website for f urther details. Members can share information in private groups e.g. as amongst the members of a tennis club or with public groups such as their local community e.g. where club results are shared with the whole community.

The network is a bit like a Facebook Group, where each member can be part of as many groups as they wish. But within each

The first is being built for Rose Bay, see www.rosebay.network. If this feature interests you please call Rose 0418 400 697.

Another difference is that, unlike Facebook and Google, you can get in touch with real live people and even get to meet them in person at monthly Network Nights, or in seminar and training Events. You might even see them in the street, sometimes delivering copies of the local Eastern Suburbs Life paper.

In fact one article in this paper was written by someone who joined an online community and is now writing for us, while

As you can see, it’s the backbon e of a local community publishing platform that seeks to put local community publishing, back in the hands of the local community, and keep the jobs and money generated within the community. We’re just getting started a nd w ill be running training and information events soon.

The world’s largest free to the public outdoor sculpture exhibition celebrates its 24th year in Bondi and Waverley Council congratulates this year’s artists and welcomes visitors to the event. With large crowds and very limited parking in the area, please use public transport. Traffic will be heavier than usual on roads approaching Bondi and road closures will be in place, so allow plenty of extra travel time. For traffic info, visit transportnsw.info/events/2022/10/sculptureby-sea.

Street performance policy

Waverley Council is inviting the community to have its say about our draft Street Performance Policy and Guidelines. The draft policy responds to the Council and Waverley community’s desire to showcase and support our creative sector in our vibrant network of spaces and places for arts and culture participation, production and experience. It aims to support a greater variety of buskers in more locations across Waverley including Roscoe St Mall and Bondi Rd. To make a submission, visit haveyoursay. waverley.nsw.gov.au/streetperforming Consultation closes Dec 31, 2022.

Applications are now open for Waverley’s flagship music program, the Bondi WAVE, which teaches high school bands how to write and arrange original music over eight exciting weeks.

Tributes for outgoing General Manager

Councillors thanked outgoing General Manager Therese Manns for her service over the past four years. Ms Manns is leaving Randwick on Nov 4 to take up the role of General Manager at North Sydney Council. Councillors commended Therese on her strong leadership, particularly dur ing the COVID pandemic and for establish ing a solid framework for a new strategic direction for the Council.

New dog off-leash parks proposed

Two new dog off-leash parks could be created in Kingsford and South Coogee under plans to be put to community consultation. Residents will be asked their views on permitting dogs off leash at Kensington Rotary Reserve in Kingsford and Emily McCarthy Park in South Coogee. Council will also investigate fencing of Council’s existing 14 off-leash dog parks and commission an environmental assessment report into creating Randwick City’s first dog beach at Yarra Bay Beach.

Rock fishing safety and skills workshop

Council will partner with Surf Life Saving NSW to host a rock fishing safety and skills day in Little Bay. Rock fishing is a popular but dangerous past-time with 100 deaths across NSW in the past two decades including 21 fatalities in Randwick City. The workshop will target at risk rock fishers and provide fishing tips and safety advice with attendees receiving a free lifejacket. The workshop will be held in early 2023.

Creative hoardings

Council will investigate developing a program to encourage large scale construction sites in Randwick City to use their construction fencing to display local art. The plan aims to reduce the visual impact of construction sites while providing an opportunity for artists to showcase their works.

Beachside alcohol holiday restrictions

Alcohol will be prohibited at beachside parks around Clovelly, Maroubra, Malabar, Phillip Bay and Yarra Bay over this year’s Christmas and New Year period and Australia Day. The restrictions have been implemented for a number of years to increase safety and reduce anti-social behaviour. The restrictions apply to parks and reserves near popular beaches. Alcohol is already permanently prohibited at all Randwick City beaches.

Marjorie O'Neill MP MEMBER FOR COOGEE

Hi Everyone,

Summer is fast approaching and everyone in the East is excited for the return of the warm weather, ocean breeze, and with a bit of luck, clear skies that brings out the best of our world class beaches. With this in mind, I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone of just how important it is to take care and look out for one another, especially on our beaches. Many of us will already be familiar, but with many visitors to the area, I think it’s fitting to run over a few key pointers;

• Always swim between the flags.

• Alcohol and water do not mix, stay out of the water if you are intoxicated.

• If you do find yourself in trouble out in the surf, don’t panic, stay calm, and float to survive. Help will come, your job is to keep your head above water until then.

• Don’t hurt yourself or your ego fighting over a parking spot. Scan the QR code below or head to my website to fill out my Eastern Suburbs Public Transport Questionnaire and help us free up a few extra spots by improving public transport access to the coast.

• Be kind to our lifesavers – they are volunteering their own time to keep us safe.

OFFICE CONTACT DETAILS

If you have any issues relating to the NSW Government, or you are not sure where to go to for help, please contact my office on (02) 9398 1822; coogee@parliament.nsw.gov.au or visit us at 15/53-55B Frenchmans Rd, Randwick.
