Manly Markets: chamber dresses down stallholders in ugg-ly war of words

THEY are two almost identical outfits – and the Manly Chamber of Commerce claims they prove that the weekend markets in Sydney Rd are in direct competition with local businesses.

Creating a Look for Back-to-School

Back-to-school fashion doesn’t have to be complicated or outrageously expensive. Carey Petro, a 15-year-old sophomore at H.B.
