Man-Made Climate Change & Global Warming a Hoax!CANDIDATES WHO are elected on a platform of man-made Climate Change and Global Warming should be forced to publicly apologise and resign when they are eventually and inevitably proven to be victims of gigantic and extravagant hoaxes. Millions upon millions of dollars are already being wasted on this nonsense which will balloon into billions and trillions to the detriment of our children and grandchildren and to the underprivileged in the rest of the world. This madness will place more and more people of the world into deeper and graver poverty while making new fortunes for western society and large corporations. Rupert Murdoch has already said he will make more money out of this play than he ever made out of the media. And he’s not kidding and no fool. BRAD CHAN of the Eastwood Shopping Centre gave a well received presentation of redevelopment plans for the centre on Monday night at a well attended meeting in the Eastwood Hotel. Mayor Ivan Petch, Deputy Mayor Sarkis Yedelian and Councillors Edna Wilde OAM, Terry Perram, Terry Ryan and Vic Tagg were present and all seemed suitably impressed and there were no objections. Hopefully a good sign for the future of Eastwood. * * * RIC GONZALEZ principal of Levy Partners solicitors Ryde and an executive member of Ryde Chamber of Commerce celebrated his life begins at 40 birthday party at Il Vicolo Restaurant last Friday. Looked like a merry event. But JB was committed to two funerals. But good luck for the next 40 Ric. * * * SYDNEY ST GEORGE’S Guild of former scouts and guides will present a $1,000 cheque to Technical Aid for the Disabled (TAD) representatives Geoff Prenter and Jim Towers at Tuesday December 4 meeting at historic “Addington” Ryde.

Was good to see all those faces again of yore. * * * PASTOR BOB SMITH of West Ryde Baptist Church will be farewelled at a service this Sunday morning at 9.30am. Bob has been a tower of strength in the West Ryde community and will be surely missed. Best wishes for the future Bob from all of us. * * * ALYSOUN RYVES of Hunters Hill born and bred was farewelled at a colourful service at Macquarie Park crematorium same time as John McCombe (see below) in the next chapel. Alysoun had requested no tears but make it a joyous colourful celebration with everybody wearing a flower similar to her trademark red hibiscus. Over 400 fulfilled her last request. JB first met Alysoun quite some years ago when she was one of our TWT winners to ride in the Bond aerial blimp. Carl reminded me I apparently said: oh no, not that woman who is always writing letters to the editor! See tribute Page 4. * * * JOHN McCOMBE passed away last week after an extended illness aged 67 and his funeral service was at Macquarie Park crematorium last Friday. He leaves behind a devoted wife Robyn and three adult daughters and his great joy a six month old grandson. John was born in Lismore, grew up in Byron Bay and moved to Sydney when 16 to work in a bank. He was a board member of Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club for 16 years and a Life Member and on the board of Richmond Raceway also for 16 years and president. He will be greatly missed. * * * NORM INCH (“I refuse to go metric”) heads this week’s Birthday Honours List as he turns 83 today and tomorrow celebrates his Diamond Wedding anniversary with his child bride Dot with a party at their son’s home in Epping.
