Bay students, head down with exams

By Jewell DRURY THIS week saw the beginning of the Year 12 HSC, with many students and parents feeling overwhelmed with the pressure.

Although the final year of school is important, it is good to remember that it will not be the most important year of your life.

Keep things in perspective, the ATAR score does not indicate who you are, or what you can

achieve.

Your performance in Year 12 is not a measure of your ability and it does not control your success or happiness with your future plans.

Remember there are many ways to reach your goals regardless of your ATAR score.

“Important things to keep in mind for Year 12 Students is the importance of time tabling breaks and staying in contact with friends,” Vikki CONTINUED Page 2

“It is important that if anyone is not feeling ok, please speak up and reach out for help as life continues beyond Year 12,” added Vikki Ryall.

There are many highly successful people whose wonderful successes are remembered but their failures are lesser known.

Steven Spielberg was

rejected twice by The University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts.

Oprah Winfrey was fired from her first TV job as an anchor in Baltimore.

Thomas Edison was told by his teachers he was ‘too stupid to learn anything’.

Walt Disney was told by his former Newspaper editor that he ‘lacked imagination and had no good ideas’.

Albert Einstein didn’t start speaking until he was four, did not read until he was seven and was thought to be mentally handicapped.

JK Rowling was rejected nine times as she presented her first book to various publishing companies.

Elvis Presley was told by the Grand Ole Opry Manager, “You ain’t goin’ nowhere son, you ought to go back to drivin’ a truck.”

All of these successful

people had one thing in common - a passion and determination to achieve their goals, regardless of what the world was telling them.

AQUACULTURE Farming has been conducted all over the world since China’s Tang dynasty in 2500 BC and the Ancient Romans breeding fish in ponds and farming oysters in coastal lagoons.

Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, compared to commercial fishing which is the harvesting of wild fish.

Peter and Frances Bender of Huon Aquaculture began farming Salmon in 1986 in the waters that surrounded their farming property at Hideaway Bay, Tasmania.

Majorly privately owned, the Huon Aquaculture Group produces over 17,000 tonnes of fresh salmon per year and is recognised globally as being the premium producer of fresh and smoked salmon products.

Huon currently employ more than 550 multi skilled staff in most states of Australia.

Shark Drum Lines may not make our beaches safer FROM Page 1 to be continually moving so many sharks will die on these drum lines before anybody gets to them.

“Sharks are migratory, so my point it is to kill a shark in one place to protect swimmers in that area, when the shark will move to another area the next day, is nothing more than a knee jerk barbaric reaction designed so the government is seen to be seen doing something,” Michael Brown told News Of The Area.

“Ignorance and fear labels sharks as mindless killers and nothing could be further from the truth, sharks are drawn into swimming areas by the presence of food,” said Mr Brown.

Large sharks have a diet primarily consisting of mammals and tend to follow seals and whales.

Smaller sharks up to 3m

follow the thousands of baitfish schools moving along the Australian coastline.

Adopting a system that tracks the movement of the sharks food source will allow a compilation of an unprecedented database that will accurately predict when, where and what time the public would be at risk of encountering a feeding shark.

New aerial drone technology will allow the individual beaches the opportunity to visually inspect the waters and the information gathered from multiple drones will paint a clear picture of shark activity and allow accurate shark predicting.

“Putting it a little clearer, if there are no fish, no whales or seals in the area the chances of encountering a shark are virtually zero,” Michael Brown added.

It’s time for this kind of technology to be introduced all over Australia.

Whale caught in lines

By Jewell DRURY

A NEW update on the Huon Aquaculture Lease.

Footage surfaced on NBN news, Sunday 9 October of a 12m humpback whale caught in fish net lines off Port Stephens.

The video was filmed from the deck of Imagine Cruises near Cabbage Tree Island and Providence Bay on Saturday morning, minutes after the whale managed to untangle itself from one of the buoy lines.

“In actual fact the whale was caught in one of the mooring lines in the Huon Aquaculture lease and was not a fish trap line,” Imagine Cruises owner Bronny Starling told News Of The Area. ”The video showed the whale when it came over to the boat after untangling itself from the fish farms buoy’s ropes,” Ms Starling said.

The vessel Imagine was out early at 7.30 am on Saturday morning on a Dolphin watch cruise, when they first noticed the whale in trouble.

“The whale was rolling around clearly entangled in the buoy’s

line, dragging the buoy underwater with it as it rolled,” Bronny Starling added.

Another whale was seen circling around the one entangled .

Bronny Starling was able to photograph the mammal in distress.

“After some time, the whale managed to free itself and both whales swam over to the Imagine Cruise line and gave a wonderful exhibition for all those on board.”

Ms Starling was unsure how long the whale was trapped but those on

The lines of the buoys are orange and were apparently designed to be clearly seen by any mammals.

The first of the Aquaculture Yellowtail Kingfish farms are to be stocked this week.

Not surprisingly the local dolphin and whale watching tourism operators, dive shop operators in Nelson Bay as well as many locals are up in arms.

There is 2,137 km of NSW coast line to choose from and tourist operators are at a loss to why Huon and NSW DPI have put a fish farm in the middle of a pristine marine park

q Geoff Bullock is happy to be known these days as “Geoff from the Island”.

By Jewell DRURY A SMALL weatherboard cottage on the corner of Marine Drive and Boulder Bay Road, Fingal Bay was the central holiday hub for the Bullock family for many decades.

Beautiful views could be seen looking directly over Fingal Bay with the family having ownership of the little cottage during the 70’s up until the sale of the home in 2005.

A duplex now stands on the site where the little

PORT Stephens is home to a range of new recreational service providers following the completion of a recent Expression of Interest (EOI) period to commercially operate on Council owned and managed land.

Operators range from surf schools to personal trainers and all were awarded 5 year leases for selected locations around the Port Stephens Local Government Area.

As part of the new process, Council wants to ensure that residents can easily identify compliant operators.

Contracts and Services Coordinator, Ian Crawford told News Of The Area a new logo has been designed to make it easy for residents to know they’re dealing with a compliant operator.

“We have a comprehensive application process so residents can be confident they’re working with the very best service providers in the region.

“All of our operators require public liability insurance, risk management plans and the necessary

qualifications to be successful in gaining a lease for a parcel of land.

“This is about providing some support to our operators and making these guys easy to recognise,” Mr Crawford said.

Currently, there are nine operators who have secured leases for one or multiple locations around Port Stephens.

Mr Crawford said that it’s important the community knows that utilising operators outside of the officially listed commercial operators can be a dangerous game.

“If an operator is working unlicensed on Council land and you’re injured taking part in their service, any insurance or public liability they may have will be null and void.

“The best thing you can do if you’re unsure about a provider, ask to see their paperwork to make sure they’re appropriately insured – you have a right to know,” he said.

As part of the recent EOI process, Council reviewed its processes and made significant changes to the existing fee structure.

cottage once stood proudly.

Geoff Bullock has wonderful memories of the Fingal Bay home.

Fast forward to 1983 when Geoff a young Christian, became an instrumental part of the team at Hills Christian Life Centre which later became the Mega Church we know today as Hillsong, Sydney.

Geoff Bullock became one of the founders of “Hillsong’s Music Australia” from 1987 to 1995 leaving after eight years to expand his influence in the broader Christian Church through seminars and concerts.

As one of Australia’s most prolific Praise and Worship songwriters Geoff recorded more than 20 albums which have impacted hearts all over the world.

“I feel incredibly blessed to have been given amazing opportunities through my music,” Geoff told News Of The Area.

His songs are sung and recorded by artists worldwide.

Geoff is now retired and lives on Scotland Island, a water access only island in Pittwater, NSW and visits Port Stephens regularly.

With all his notoriety, Geoff says that he prefers to be known as “Geoff from the Island.”

He lives a peaceful life,

newsofthearea.com.au sailing, gardening, walking and loves socialising with friends.

When asked about how he feels about his musical success, he answers quite humbly.

“It’s a funny thing, my songs are like my children,” Mr Bullock said.

“They are more well known than me, I was just privileged to be there at their birth.”

Geoff began his first career as a cameraman for the ABC. He has since returned to those roots and enjoys the ebb and flow of creative photography.

Looking down the lens of the camera, he has captured Port Stephens beautifully and he has graciously allowed Bay News Of The Area readers a sneak peak.

“The review process was focused on making the leasing of natural open space as accessible as possible to any interested commercial operator.

“We looked at a number of elements, spoke with existing operators and were able to get to what we feel is a really workable solution – supporting a range of operators to provide a great service to the community.

“Under the new structure licenses are extremely affordable and offer the flexibility operators need to run a successful business – there’s really no excuse to be non-compliant,” he said.

While the official EOI process is now complete, Council will continue to accept applications to lease parcels of land throughout the year.

Niki told News Of The Area, “We are aiming to create a Sunday family friendly environment for people to come eat, shop, enjoy the beach, have a cold drink and avoid the traffic.”

Swell Beach Bar, owned

by Mark Prince, welcomes the new market and all it will offer locals and tourists - which will be set up adjacent to his bar and restaurant at One Mile.

Niki said she would also love to see the local younger generation utilise this beautiful place we live in, without the need to travel all the time.

The markets include local designers, musicians, yoga, massage, holistic therapists and tarot, with psychic readers in the future, not to mention delicious food available from the Swell Café.

These markets aim to create a relaxed environment on a Sunday, and a creative network of conscious entrepreneurs and business owners from the Bay areas.

Avid runners, the group of friends decided to turn the event into a run/walk event and invite local women to join

them.

“Last year was our first year and we couldn’t believe that 300 women turned out for the event,” Jo Banner told News Of The Area.

Food Care help at lean times

Bike racks installed in Shoal Bay

BAY Residents celebrated the 20th Anniversary of White Balloon Day by taking part in Australia’s Biggest Child Protection Challenge.

White Balloon Day is Bravehearts’ key awareness campaign supported by communities across Australia to help educate, empower and protect Aussie kids from child sexual assault.

Bravehearts is established with a vision to prevent child sexual assault in our society.

59,000 children each year are sexually assaulted in Australia - one child every two hours in our country.

The official White Balloon Day is 9 September.

The Port Stephens community took action on 10 -11 September.

The events in the bay were initiated and organised by The Change Maker Tribe – a new organization purposely working towards a brighter world for all funding national and global projects.

Founder Tara Scott said, “These events were about raising awareness.”

Tara said, “One in five

children in Australia are sexually assaulted by their 18th Birthday - I wholeheartedly believe in Bravehearts vision and mission.”

“We need to stand together to protect our children, I believe we live in a country that has the resources to change this if we speak up and break the silence together.”

Fingal Bay Park Run had over 50 participants who walked or ran in the rain wearing white holding white balloons on Saturday 10 September.

On Sunday 11 September, families gathered at the bottom of Mt Tomaree, collected their balloons and walked together to the top of our iconic mountain.

Ms Scott said, “It was inspirational to see parents and children walk empowered with the intention of protecting all children from sexual assault.”

Salamander Bay resident and mother of two Harriet Baily-Hewitt when asked why she decided to take part said, “Sadly nobody is aware how

Reserve.

The third has been installed to provide for cyclists who wish to explore Tomaree headland.

The bike racks were financed by funds raised by the Shoal Bay Community Association, a grant from Port Stephens Council and a generous donation from the owners of the Aura Building.

The Shoal Bay Community Association has created a new web site to keep the local community and visitors up to date about Shoal Bay. For more information please visit www.shoalbay.org.au

“I took part because so many of us are closer than we think to the issue, if not directly affected by it - I took part because everyone needs to be more aware and protect those who are too young and vulnerable to understand what is happening,” she told News Of The Area.

THE Shoal Bay Community Association has organized the installation of three bicycle racks on the Shoal Bay foreshore. The racks, each capable of holding ten bikes, have been positioned to benefit both visitors and residents.

Bay Sharks Fans ecstatic

By Jewell DRURY

RUGBY League identity Jack Gibson’s statement that ‘waiting for Cronulla to win the premiership was like leaving the porch lamp on for missing Prime Minister Harold Holt’ has become the running joke for some time in the Cronulla Sutherland Shire.

The porch lights are now being turned off every night after the Cronulla Sharks brought home the Premiership Trophy for the first time ever in the Clubs history of 50 years.

Cronulla played Melbourne Storm in the Rugby League Grand Final with a well earned nail biting win of 8- 12 after a mere penalty goal separated the two teams through the final seconds of the game.

The fulltime siren gave a shout of relief mixed with

sheer elation as the players, coaches and fans realised they had won the premiership.

Nelson Bay local Dean Carney was ecstatic as he watched the game with friends and family at Mavericks, D’albora Marina.

Dean, originally from Wollongong was a former forward turned winger and had an enigmatic football career during the 80’s.

“It’s the most exciting thing that could happen to the club,” Dean Carney told News Of The Area.

“Cronulla’s win is good for the town, the fans and good for the league,” Dean said.

Dean Carney’s list of achievements include playing for the Cronulla- Sutherland Sharks from 1983-1986, the Illawarra Steelers 19871988 and our own Newcastle Knights in 1989.

Dean Carney was also the seasons leading point scorer

Family fish out

By Jewell DRURY GONE Fishing Day is the 18 October, and is a promotion of the NSW Department of Primary Industries.

It is a Statewide run activity designed to encourage individuals and families to get out in the fresh air and fish.

In conjunction with the day, a special event called ‘Taylors Beach Family Fish Out’ is being organised by the Anna Bay Tavern Fishing Club.

Sponsored by Brent Hancock of Tackleworld, the DPI and Anna Bay Tavern Fishing Club, the day promises to be a great family day out.

The day begins at 10 am

and will culminate with a presentation at 3pm.

There will be two fishing clinics being conducted on the day, one for women and one for the children.

Added to that will be a guessing competition, a casting competition, and plenty of time allocated for ‘question and answer time’ with your local experienced anglers.

“No secrets in regards to the top local fishing spots will be divulged,” Secretary of Anna Bay Tavern Fishing Club, Jacqui Ashby, told News Of The Area.

“We are excited to have Brent Hancock from Tackleworld, Nelson Bay providing the prizes for the huge presentation at the end

These talented young boys would not be where they are through this journey, without the support of family, friends and especially their coaches who volunteer their time weekly.

Merri Brady of Nelson Bay and Rick Sarmias are very proud of their team, and are

very thankful to Tomaree Public School for their donation of $125 to each student to go towards their entrance fees and uniforms.

Sport

Rotary golf for charity THIS year was the 25th Anniversary of the Rotary Club’s Charity Golf Day. Over the years the club has raised over $250,000 with these golf days.

All of this money has been returned to the local Community through various projects, including Community Transport, Youth Health, Surf Lifesaving, PCYC and other community and health projects.

This year the principle beneficiary will be a project to extend the existing Nelson

Bay Rotary Club Exercise/ FitnessTrail, installed along the foreshore from Conroy Park to Dutchies Beach, through a new Circuit that will link Victoria Parade, Nelson Bay through Little Beach to Shoal Bay. The equipment in this new Circuit, will feature outdoor, multi-gym equipment, rather than the static equipment adopted for the initial stage of the trail opened in December 2015.
