Rescue chopper airlifts injured horse rider after Jimmys Beach fall FROM Page 1 Leader Adam Butt said.

“The emergency is more about the type of injury, circulation can be compromised, so time is of the essence, and we can get patients from Hawks Nest to John Hunter Hospital in about twelve minutes.”

The helicopter, heard zooming in overhead, landed at Myall Park and soon drew crowds around the park’s perimeter.

Myall Park has long and often served as an emergency landing spot for such actions, for a long time being the only such landing area in town, although Mr Butt professed that this modern machine could land and take off from Bennetts Beach directly, if necessary.

“This has been a busy Christmas period, and the workload is just going to continue as people are all out and about,” Mr Butt told NOTA.

The M1 and Pacific Highway was visible from the air en route, snarled up with holiday traffic as east-coasters went from where they had to be for Christmas, to where they wanted to be for New Year’s.

The helicopter, based at Lake Macquarie Airport, awaited its charge as a crowd cautiously approached to witness its mechanical marvellousness, emblazoned with the logos of corporate and government sponsors that help keep it in the air.

“The helicopter has two-engine turbines, one is for redundancy, can fly at night by instruments, and in most weather – from Lake

q The magnificent machine is a sight for sore eyes for many, and carries the names of sponsors who help keep it aloft and operating.

q Lift off! Less than fifteen minutes to John Hunter Hospital, the patient was in very good hands.

Macquarie it can get us comfortably all the way to Lismore on a single tank.”

The helicopter has of course assisted in the recent past with flooding in Queensland, fires all around, and the odd beach-borne accident.

q The Park was cleared as the patient was safely transferred from ground ambulance to rescue helicopter.

was perpetrated upon the recently-opened tobacco shop early on Sunday 31 December.

The case is an ongoing investigation, and police

are appealing for public assistance after the business was broken into just before 4:30 am on 31 December.

“Officers from the Port Stephens/Hunter District were called to the tobacco

shop at 49 Booner Street,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.

“Police were informed by witnesses that two men gained access to the store before taking tobacco, and unsuccessfully tried to steal an ATM. “The two men were

Summer at the Gallery

By Thomas O’KEEFE

GALLERIES in the Gardens will soon host much of the artistic talent that the Myall Coast has to offer, with the ‘Summer at the Gallery’ Art Exhibition from 12 January to 5 February in the Gallery at 81 Marine Drive, Tea Gardens.

As the spiritual and seasonal counterpoint to last year’s highly successful Winter Exhibition, the summer show will allow visitors some respite from the hot and humid weather, while enjoying the best and latest that members of the Gallery have been working on.

“Hanging of the artworks starts from Tuesday 9 January,” Galleries President

Emilie Tseronis told NOTA. “The formal opening will be at 5pm on Friday 12 January, and all are welcome to drop in and have a look.”

Prizes will be judged and awarded in multiple categories, including 2D and 3D formats, such as works on paper, photography, sculpture, and more, with a total prize-pool of $2400 to be awarded overall.

“This is the sixth such Exhibition on these premises, but the fourteenth held by the Galleries as a group of artists.

“We have two out-of-town professional artists judging this summer, Jill Orr doing the 2D prizes, and Linda Gibbins covering 3D. “There is also currently

a summer raffle underway, which will be drawn in late January, and proceeds to go to Wildlife In Need of Care (WINC), this being the sixth year we have supported their great work.

“All the artists and everyone at the Gallery is excited for everyone to come along, creating an awareness for local people to attend after the winter show,” Ms Tseronis added.

With free entry to the Galleries, and an everevolving display of local talent, passers-by will have plenty of reasons to drop in over the exhibition period, between 10am and 4pm, closed Tuesdays.

The large, full-window yellow covering upon the tobacco store’s front happened to contain much of the glass during the initial assault, most likely hampering the perpetrators’ attempts to lift bulkier items from the store.

While official sources are not at liberty to comment on the motives behind the break-in,

the circumstances are reminiscent of a spate of organised-crime related tobacco-shop attacks carried out in Victoria late last year.

As part of the Federal Budget announcements in May 2023, the Albanese Labor Government announced that the excise on tobacco products would be increased by five percent a year over the next three years, providing a $3.3 billion boost.

According to the Australian Financial

Review, this will increase the cost of a packet of 25 cigarettes to almost $50, meaning there is even bigger money in the tobacco trade than ever before, especially at the retail front if smokers pay in cash.

Port Stephens/Hunter District Police are seeking any witnesses to come forward, and they can contact Crimestoppers anonymously over the phone on 1800 333 000, via https://nsw.crimestoppers. com.au/, or by simply searching ‘Crimestoppers’.

Section 57(1) of the Succession Act 2006 lists persons who are eligible to make application for provision (or additional provision) in respect of the estate of a deceased person. One category is a child of the deceased person. On the face of it this is quite simple. However, if a child of the deceased has been adopted out by the deceased shortly after birth and a court order is made, then all legal connection between the child and the biological parents ends.

This means that the child who was adopted out to another family is not considered to be a child who can contest the Will of one or both of the biological parents. That right ceases at the time when the

adoption order is made.

Having said that, the adopted child is an eligible person in respect of his, her or their adoptive parents in the event that the child considers that inadequate provision has been made for him, her or them in the Will of the adoptive parents.

As the rules in relation to adoption and the reuniting of biological parents with adopted children develop, circumstances may arise where an adopted child may fall into another category of an eligible person.

By Thomas O’KEEFE LIGHTNING struck close to home for Myall Coast residents, igniting scrub around the Tea Gardens Aquifer on Friday 29 December.

As the typical summer weather cycle set in throughout December, the region saw several days of increasing heat, punctuated by summer storms, with a short but heavy deluge falling over the towns on the last Friday of the year.

However, not all regions were as saturated, so inevitably the characteristically brilliant lightning strikes could hit some dry ground.

DANCE &

PERFORMING ARTS

One such ‘dry lightning’ bolt struck the scrub near the Tea Gardens Aquifer, its thunder telling experienced Rural Fire Service (RFS) personnel, even before the official alert, that there was a problem.

“A small strike hit some very inaccessible bushland near the aquifer, we could barely get the Tea Gardens-9 truck in to assist,” Pindimar-Tea Gardens RFS Captain David Bright told NOTA. “The property’s manager used an excavator to clear an earth containment line, dumping soil on the parts of the fire they could reach.”

The following day, 30 December, an RFS-contracted helicopter at Salamander Bay successfully water-bombed the hardto-reach fire, followed by merciful heavier rainfall a day later.

“The chopper did a fantastic job, then

refuelled and headed off to assist another fire at Wallis Lake,” Captain Bright explained.

“While it was a relatively small fire, it was near the boundary of the National Park and Durness, so there was potential it could get away into the Park and then right in through Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens.”

The towns’ water supply, the aquifer, is located underground, but the watertreatment plant that makes it potable for households sits upon the surface, so the burning scrub nearby was an imminent concern.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, ‘dry lightning’ occurs when high-forming rain falls over warm air in low quantities, evaporating before it hits the ground, then the electrical strike ignites the still-dry fuel below – and this is becoming more frequent with each season.

Council targets illegal 4WD use

By Thomas O’KEEFE

THE BEAUTY of our beaches is being ravaged by the illicit activities of some four-wheel drive (4WD) users, with MidCoast Council seeking to remind everyone of the rules in place.

Beach drivers all require permits, and should be acutely aware of what their permit type entitles, specifically which areas upon Jimmys, Bennetts, and the Yacaaba Dunes they are legally allowed to drive.

“There are different levels of beach permits for Jimmys and Bennetts Beaches.

“Some of the beach is 4WD-accessible, while other

parts are only accessible by commercial fishers or restricted permit holders, such as people with mobility issues,” a Council spokesperson outlined.

“There are specific rules outlined in the beach permits that help protect our beaches from coastal processes such as erosion, they also aim to keep everyone safe, including the wildlife that lives on the beaches.”

Specifically, 4WDs have been spotted mounting the dunes to cross from Jimmys to Bennetts Beach, ignoring the only permissible crossover point that is located about halfway down the beach, approximately 900 metres

q Dozens of 4WDs managed to turn left at Sanderling Avenue accessway, dotting the beach as far as Dark Point.

south of the Jimmys Beach 4WD access point.

“Please use this area only when crossing between the beaches,” said Paul De Szell, MidCoast Council’s Director of Liveable Communities.

“We ask that our residents and visitors to the area be respectful of the environment, the cultural significance of the area, and the wider community when driving on beaches in Hawks Nest.

“We have installed signage on the beach to identify important areas where access is prohibited or restricted.”

Stinker’s Fishin’: Tackle your tackle box

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE

HERE is a tip worth considering.

It’s about your tackle box.

Really, it’s about the size of your tackle box and what you carry in it.

Are you one of those who go fishing with a tackle box that an Olympic weightlifter couldn’t get off the ground and a pole vaulter couldn’t jump over?

You know what I mean, a box with more in it than an average granny flat.

The fact is you do not need most of what is packed inside, and you never will.

Let us take a look.

Lures, plastics, tools, scissors, spare bungs, hook sharpeners, squid jigs, knives, hooks, swivels, a hand towel, measuring sticks for crabs and fish, marine park maps and the greatest “offender” of all – sinkers!

I have seen tackle boxes stuffed with more sinkers than could be used in a lifetime – enough to sink a battleship.

Apart from the inconvenience of lugging around the huge box, other problems arise.

If water finds a way inside you are in trouble.

This is when the fisherman’s enemy appears – rust! If the tackle box rolls over, it will take a day to sort things out.

I have a solution.

Before you go fishing, think about what fish you intend to target.

Say snapper, which is my target fish.

You may be thinking of whiting or flathead but, for the moment, let’s stick to snapper.

This is what I do.

Firstly, it is necessary to wear a shirt with a pocket.

The area south of Sanderling Avenue is alternatively ‘Commercial Fishermen’ and ‘Restricted Permits’ only, while the crossover between Bennetts q

The area south of the designated crossover says ‘Strictly No Vehicle Access’.

Jimmys Beach is also a mix of ‘Commercial Fishermen’ and ‘Restricted Access’, with no ‘General Access’ indicated at all.

Drivers can find more information about beach

permits at www.midcoast. nsw.gov.au/beachpermit.

Council has indicated that the fees from the Beach Permits support maintenance of beach access points and help to protect the shorebirds that nest on the dunes, a culturally significant site that is inherently important to the local community.

The signs at the Sanderling Avenue 4WD access.

In that pocket you put your tackle box.

What? You question.

My tackle box is a pill bottle which fits snugly into my pocket and is available with the least amount of fuss when the need arises.

In the pill bottle I carry a dozen 6/0 or 7/0 hooks, half a dozen small sinkers (which I rarely use) and a couple of swivels for my mono line.

I use two rods and have never run out of fishing gear on a trip.

The tip is to think about what you really need and leave the rest in the garage.

All you need in a pill bottle.

New year heralded by Country Club fireworks

q Newcastle band ‘Brightside’ delivered the live music for the night.

By Thomas O’KEEFE

“BETTER than Sydney,” was the phrase many onlookers uttered at the Tea Gardens Country Club’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display at 9:30pm on 31 December.

The hot, humid weather before New Year’s had yielded to a cooling rain storm over the Hawks Nest/ Tea Gardens townships earlier on, leaving the sky overcast and with a dark matte backdrop to perfectly contrast with the fireworks.

Revellers enjoyed food from The Garden Eatery, drinks from the Country Club, and live music

by Newcastle’s ‘Brightside’.

Starbursts and booming explosions enthralled all in a spectacle to rival the big cities’, with loud bangs preceding the big rockets up, alongside screamingmimis and twirling fizzlers, in what proved to be an orchestrated

spectacle of pyrotechnic awesomeness.

“Our pyrotechnician, Lou Stefanel, from Pyromania Pty Ltd, has been doing this for the Country Club for about 20 years,” Tea Gardens Country Club General Manager Warren Gooley told NOTA. “This year we had 280 shells go up, and it was great to see so many families, we had a great crowd, everyone enjoyed a good time.”

Massive flowers of fire bloomed overhead, often lighting up the bowling green and the crowd below like day, while the PindimarTea Gardens Rural Fire Service stood on the lookout for any errant flares or sparks below.

Thankfully, however, the conditions were perfect, as a gentle breeze blew the smoke away and out over the wetlands.

The ever-growing explosions

q The awe-struck crowd was frequently lit up like daytime by the exploding display.

overhead were exciting for many, and also cathartic for some, as the old year was quite blown away to welcome the new, in one of humanity’s biggest symbolic and collective ‘new beginnings’ events.

The customary song ‘Auld Lang Syne’, being originally from the Scots-language, is open to some interpretation: a call to remember

times long past, or a reminder to move on and forget past problems altogether, or anything in between.

As families vacated to be home by bedtime and perhaps enjoy the televised, taxpayer-funded fireworks in Sydney, hopefully most woke up the next morning with a renewed interest in pursuing what makes them happiest.

q Hundreds of shells delivered an amazing spectacle, “better than Sydney” for most.

New nomenclature for Myall Estuary system endorsed q Fishermen have found they can even keep their feet dry on the new sand islands forming in the middle of the Myall Estuary.

By Thomas O’KEEFE

SEVERAL groups of concerned citizens in Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest are attempting to correct the system of naming natural environmental features in and around the ‘Myall River’ system, with a hope of highlighting the need for urgent action.

The section of the Myall River System existing between Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens, currently choking with sand as it enters Port Stephens Bay, is an ‘estuary’, based upon the NSW Department of Planning and Environment’s definition.

“Estuaries are coastal water

bodies where freshwater runoff from the land meets the saltwater of the sea – these dynamic systems are places of transition from freshwater to saltwater environments,” reads the Department’s definition.

The Myall River Action Group (MRAG) also recognises the two existing channels by which the Myall meets the Bay as the ‘Natural Eastern Channel’, and the ‘Artificial Corrie Channel’.

“Corrie Channel was formerly an ankle-deep creek that was dredged out in the early 1900s to facilitate shorter passage for timber and alum ships,” according to the MRAG’s Gordon Grainger.

q Near Moira Parade, Hawks Nest, families explore the ever-growing sand islands.

6 MYALL COAST NEWS OF THE AREA

www.newsofthearea.com.au

‘The Shortcut’, the name generally applied to the Natural Eastern Channel, is considered

by MRAG to be a particularly dangerous misnomer, since Mr Grainger’s research indicates that the Corrie Channel itself was specifically and artificially dredged as a shortcut for the long-dead shipping industry.

“Previously, the powers that be accused us, saying ‘the only reason you want the (Natural) channel reopened is to get to the fishing grounds quicker’,” Mr Grainger recalled meetings with Council and State bureaucrats over the estuary’s need to regain the Natural Channel.

“Having the eastern entrance deepened and restored as the main

river channel would allow the best possible seawater flow to enter the river on the run-in tide,” Chris Taylor, from MRAG, told NOTA. “Increased salinity levels in this new seawater would reduce current levels of mangrove dieback and the incidence of weed growth in the estuary.

“Deepened water through the eastern channel would increase tidal flush and also provide safer water-levels for vessels entering and leaving the Myall River.

“It would give ferry traffic the quickest and most direct route to the southern ferry terminus at Nelson Bay and help improve the viability and regularity of ferry service operations between Tea Gardens and Nelson Bay.”

29 December to 7 January in Perth and Sydney.

While the audience in Sydney Olympic Park’s Ken Rosewall Arena enjoyed watching top-tier players from 18 countries, their emotions and responses were augmented by Jomeca and her fellow musical maestros.

Jomeca spurred the crowds’ enjoyment at both the quarter and semifinals on 5 and 6 December, respectively.

“We have a really beautiful, hardworking

what I do on a regular basis, just on a much larger scale”.

“I only play before the game starts and after it ends, and have to keep quiet during the match, finding songs and then queuing them to get the crowd engaged for short spells in between sets and games,” Jomeca described the role.

“We have a certain freedom, keeping it familyfriendly and upbeat, but also working with the Producer of the Tennis to correlate certain songs of the program.”

The event’s timing allows many top-level players to kick off their seasons, with the Australian Open imminent each summer.

Players also play for a share of a $10 million prize pool, plus up to 500 ranking points, and, of course, the United Cup itself – a magnificently hand-crafted sterling silver and 24-carat

gold-plated trophy, designed and crafted by Thomas Lyte with elements symbolic of the tournament’s mixeddoubles partnerships.

Last year, Jomeca’s career hit new highs with appearances at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Sydney, as well as on Channel 10’s The Voice.

future,” said Ms Coates.

“Thanks to the reduced electricity costs at the sites, we expect the project to pay itself off within five years.

“After that, the sites will continue to draw energy from the sun free-of-charge, which will result in ongoing savings.

“More broadly, the project aligns with our Climate Change Strategy and puts us a step closer to achieving our commitment of powering all Council operations with 100 percent renewable energy by 2040.”

Ms Coates said an impressive feature of the new solar power systems was the analytics hardware that had been installed to monitor their performance.

“This hardware is great because it gives us real-time data on how much electricity we’re generating, how much we’re consuming, and how much we’re delivering back

to the grid. It also lets us know what we should be generating based on current weather conditions, so we can identify and resolve any issues if they arise.”

In addition to installing solar power systems at these large water and sewer sites, Council has been powering all its small water and sewer sites with 100 percent renewable energy since the start of 2023.

Ms Coates said purchasing accredited renewable energy from an electricity provider was a sustainable way to power some of Council’s smaller assets.

“Many of these sites don’t have a large enough physical footprint to generate their own energy,” said Ms Coates.

“Purchasing green energy allows us to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with our water and sewer operations when solar power or other forms of onsite renewables aren’t an option.”

With water and sewer infrastructure accounting

for around 80 percent of Council’s overall power use, Ms Coates said she was proud her team was finding ways to reduce emissions

Solar project complete at MidCoast Council sites A TWO-YEAR project to reduce the use of nonrenewable energy at five MidCoast Council water and sewer sites is now complete.

More than 400 solar panels have been installed at Tuncurry Recycled Water Treatment Plant, Bulahdelah Water Treatment Plant, Tea Gardens Sewer Pump Station 13 and the Coopernook and Manning Point sewage treatment plants, enabling the sites to generate a considerable proportion of their own energy.

Council’s Executive Manager of Water and Systems, Marnie Coates, said the project would not only help reduce Council’s carbon footprint, it would deliver significant cost savings over time as well.

Karuah shines bright

By Thomas O’KEEFE

WINNERS in Karuah’s fabulous Christmas 2023 Lights and Pallet Tree competitions have been

announced, with some stunning entries making it a very difficult process indeed.

“Over 200 voting entries were received in 2023, making it the highest-

engaged vote to date,” Karuah Progress Association (KPA) President Breanna Landwehr told NOTA. “Participants were rated on a scale of one to ten (ten being highest), with total points counted, and we can now announce the residence and business winners!”

Competition was delightfully intense, as several residences pulled out all the stops to produce a lit-up wonderland of festive lights and figures to decorate the town on its namesake river.

Some locals decorated both their front and back yards, and even erected indoor tableaux of Santa’s visit that could be seen through the windows.

First Place Residence went to 78 Peachey Circuit with 759 points, followed

by Second Place to 18 Alice Street (580 points), and Third Place/‘Most Creative’ going to 61 Peachey Circuit with 440 points.

‘Best Business’ seemed to be a hands-down victory to Daily Dose, with 1053 points counted.

The Pallet Tree competition was also won by Daily Dose, while 61 Peachey Circuit and 40 Alice Street respectively took out second and third places.

“The lights were unbelievable in our street, Santa even set up one of his sleighs to pose for photos with the kids,” Marion Brown, from the KPA, told NOTA. “We also had two new prizes come in after our last meeting, and it has been proposed that they be allocated to some of the runners-up.”

Animal groups push to protect birdlife from poison

By Marian SAMPSON

A QUICKLY growing petition is calling for a stop to the sale of poisons designed for the control of vermin due to the knock on effects on birds.

According to BirdLife Australia, the organisation behind the petition, “Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) kill by causing internal bleeding.

“But when rats and mice eat baits poisoned with SGARs, they become poisonous themselves, harming and even killing other animals and birds that eat them.

“SGARs don’t kill immediately either, so the threat can spread through the community, putting even birds and pets in

neighbouring yards and local parks at risk.”

EcoNetwork Port Stephens is currently supporting the campaign to stop the supply of SGARs. “Around Australia, wildlife species continue to die by ingesting mice and rats that have been poisoned by certain rodenticides,” an EcoNetwork spokesperson advised.

“These second generation baits are those which stay in a rodent’s body for a long time before they die.

“This means that animals that hunt live prey such as owls, raptors, kookaburras and reptiles, as well as carnivorous mammals, including pets, can get poisoned if they eat the rodents that are dying slowly and are still mobile.

“Nationally, over 23,000 people have signed a petition calling on Bunnings, the retailer with the biggest range of these deadly products, to take them off their shelves.”

This petition is still active, for more information visit www.actforbirds.org/ ratpoison.

“Many EcoNetwork members also signed a petition organised by Birdlife Australia demanding that an application by the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) to use bromadiolone to control the mouse plague should not be permitted.”

However, there are other poisons available which break down quicker after use, limiting risk to other fauna, according to

EcoNetwork.

“First generation anticoagulant rodenticides, such as warfarin, break down more quickly and therefore there is a much

Pindimar Carols event enjoyed by all

q Doug Gillespie and friends played live music while the new Men’s Shed sleigh awaited its driver.

By Thomas O’KEEFE

PINDIMAR residents and guests enjoyed a special evening carols event on Christmas Eve Eve, with a special visitor arriving halfway through the show.

Led by local Doug Gillespie and his muso friends, everyone enjoyed a refreshing afternoon of carols and live music, under the historic pine tree, and the watchful eye of the ospreys that have taken residence at the top.

The ‘BYO everything’ event fuelled a peaceful atmosphere on South Pindimar Reserve, perfectly located along the shoreline, looking out across Port Stephens, and augmented by a raft of raffle prizes drawn.

Kids took turns decorating the newer, smaller pine tree near the pergola, until Santa Claus was chauffeured in on his special electric sleighcart; his reindeer and sleigh parked at the nearby RFS station.

Santa held an audience with all the kids, seated upon the newly-built Tea Gardens Men’s Shed Sleigh, which has been expressly made available for such community events.

“We are really thankful to be able to borrow the Men’s Shed Sleigh,” Vivien Panhuber, President of the PindimarBundabah Community

“Many present said it was the best in years, and we will aim to have more kids’ activities next year,” Ms Panhuber added.

by lightning, will be the focus of some PBCA efforts in 2024.

“We are getting recycled seats put in on the empty slabs sometime this year, and there are plans to set up a garden around the tree, too,” Ms Panhuber explained.

“An arborist has been consulted, who said that the tree is recovering nicely since the lightning strike.”

The resident osprey saw fit to send off some revellers at the end of the afternoon with a few ‘presents’ of its own, too.

q Santa heard from many kids, as they queued to take photos with him on the new sleigh.

Hawks Nest to receive new skate park FOLLOWING community consultation, MidCoast Council’s Playspace and Skatepark Strategies were adopted by Council at the 13 December meeting.

The Skatepark Strategy outlines plans to build two new skate parks, upgrade eleven and remove five that are not delivering value for the community across the

MidCoast local government area (LGA).

“Overall, the community provided strong support for the Skatepark Strategy and in particular, for the construction of a district level skate park at Providence Bay Park at Hawks Nest,” said Council’s Manager of Strategy and Projects, Amanda Hatton.

Thursday, 11 January 2024

In locations where they are to be removed, new skateparks will be built in better locations or there will be upgrades to existing skateparks nearby.

The Playspace Strategy focuses on the future of the 79 playgrounds in the MidCoast region.

It outlines plans to upgrade from three to fifteen

neighbourhood playgrounds, from five to nine district playgrounds and provide three regional playgrounds for the MidCoast.

Regional playgrounds have 20-plus pieces of equipment or additional space for hosting larger community events.

Eleven play spaces have been identified for removal

www.newsofthearea.com.au

when they reach the end of their useful life as they are not delivering value for the community.

In locations where they are removed, higher quality contemporary playgrounds will be provided in other nearby parks and reserves.

“Community feedback on the Playspace Strategy also touched on the need for

supporting infrastructure in some locations including barbecues, shade and fencing,” Ms Hatton said.

Among the changes, Tea Gardens Library playground was upgraded from Local to Neighbourhood classification To read the strategies, head to haveyoursay. m i d c o a s t . n s w . g o v. a u / skatepark-strategy and haveyoursay.midcoast.nsw. gov.au/playspace-strategy.

Applications open for local community grants TO support the continued recovery from COVID-19 in the regions, up to $10,000 is available to community groups across regional, remote and rural Australia.

The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal’s (FRRR) Strengthening Rural Communities program

provides grants of up to $10,000 to support local organisations to uplift their communities following significant disruption from COVID-19.

Grants could be for initiatives such as workshops, education programs or improving facilities and

community equipment.

The last round, delivered in November, saw 55 local-led projects across the country shared in over $470,000 in grants.

“FRRR’s small grants have supported rural Australia for the past 23 years,” said FRRR Place Portfolio Lead Jill

Karena.

“Within our Strengthening Communities program alone, we have awarded nearly $18 million in small grants since 2019 and the program’s flexibility is one of the key reasons why it continues to be so popular.

“Flexible funding means that we can support projects that meet a wide range of needs, reflecting what the

and Ratepayers Association (TRRA) has been advocating for a review of jet skiing on Port Stephens for a number of years.

TRRA have been calling for a number of better controls, including speed limits, particularly when manoeuvring to outside or deeper waters.

Environment advocate and local wildlife photographer Bon Bon Holmes Nuu told News Of The Area, “I daily see the 300m exclusion zone for dolphins blatantly disregarded, from the water and land, with riders skiing directly up to and over them."

The popularity of jet skis and personal watercraft has soared over the last four years, with over 90,000 licenced riders in New South Wales, an increase of over 35 percent since 2020.

The largest jump in jet ski licences has been among Generation Z, those born between 1995 and 2010.

There are more than 23,000 licenced riders aged between 13 and 28 in New

South Wales, an increase of 22 percent on this time last year.

“A fun day on the water shouldn’t turn into a tragedy,” Minister for the Hunter Yasmin Catley said.

“It’s great we’re seeing locals enjoy our Hunter waterways on jet skis, including young people.

“But we need them to look after themselves, and each other.

“Safety and compliance are the priorities.

“When you take out a jet ski, just like anything on the water, follow the rules so everyone can relax and enjoy themselves.”

Operation Stay Afloat As part of the safety and educational campaign aimed at driving home the importance of responsible riding on the state’s waterways, NSW Maritime crews conducted more than 2000 vessel safety checks across the state.

Jet skis threatening wildlife JET skis have long been a feature of summer holidays in Port Stephens, however the behaviour of some riders has prompted calls for greater controls on usage of the vessels.

One jet ski user reportedly rode into a flock of black swans last week, resulting in the death of at least one cygnet.

The young swans are vulnerable at this time of year; they do not have their flight feathers and cannot attempt to fly out of the way.

Local resident Kelly Hammond said while the incident doesn’t reflect all watercraft users, local wildlife and waterways “deserve protection against such vile individuals”.

“Our community cares deeply for the environment and a review of how these types of vessels are used when, where and at what speed - in our pristine waterways needs addressing urgently,” she said.

The Tomaree Residents

community sees as a priority.

“For some, this may be a new roof for the town hall, for others it may be an event to bring people together, and for others it could be mental health first aid training.

“Virtually every part of Australia is recovering from one or more disasters, from the pandemic to floods, bushfires or drought – and many have experienced successive or even overlapping events.

“The cumulative effect means that even within the same region, there are

people working to respond and support recovery, while others are putting planning and training in place to build their resilience and prepare for the next, inevitable, event.”

This is the final round of the Rebuilding Regional Communities stream and applications close at 5pm on 26 February 2024.

For further information and how to apply visit www. frrr.org.au/funding/place/ s rc - re b u i l d i n g - re g i o n a l communities/.

While 87 percent of boat and jet-ski operators were found to be complying with all licence and safety requirements, NSW Maritime issued 186 official warnings and 81 penalty notices.

31.4 percent were issued for not wearing or carrying a lifejacket, 27.7 percent were for unlicensed drivers or unregistered vessels and 11.2 percent were for speeding.

It follows a year where jetski-related offences were

on the rise.

There were a total of 1560 jetski offences recorded in NSW during 2023, up 53 percent on the previous year’s 1023 jetski infringements.

Speeding made up almost 30 percent of offences recorded.

OPINION & LETTERS

Dorin’s Draws By Paul DORIN

n the O Couch

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

DEAR Jasminda, I often start the New Year by goal setting, only to realise by February that I've failed.

How can I achieve some goals that I can actually keep?

Fiona W. Dear Fiona, Happy New Year.

READING by Lynne Miles: Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 3 & 4"There is an appointed time for everything.

And a season for every event under heaven. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance."

Mangrove dieback DEAR News Of The Area, I WAS interested to read a recent article suggesting that the condition of the short cut entrance and storm rains in April 2022 had caused, or contributed to, the extensive dieback of grey mangroves in Swan Bay and other sections of the lower Myall River.

While it can be tempting to attribute all of the ills in the river to sedimentation in the eastern, short cut entrance, I don't believe it has been a factor in the mangrove deaths.

I live at Swan Bay and I spend a lot of

time out on the river.

The first signs of dieback appeared suddenly and simultaneously across the affected areas in early April 2021.

At that stage the entrance was in very good condition, less than six months after the completion in October of the 2020 dredging program.

By October 2021 all of the foliage in the affected areas had died and leaves were beginning to drop.

I alerted both MidCoast Council and NSW Fisheries around that time.

AS we ease into another year, tenderly patting expanded waistlines created by batches of rum balls and espresso martinis, marvelling at the exhaustion that sitting around doing nothing

achieves, gazing at the Christmas tree that has to be repacked and hoisted up to the mezzanine for another year, it can be easy to feel the weight of expectation.

My advice, therefore, is to aim low.

Instead of setting the bar for the stars, settle for the limbo.

Here are some starters for you: Clean the fridge by eating your way through the leftovers.

Don't take up running. Have you ever seen a happy runner?

Live an intentioned/comfortable life i.e. dress in activewear.

Travel – even if it's only in your mind through books.

Work towards mediocrity.

You'll definitely get there.

Anything else is a bonus.

Remove toxic people from your life and replace them with a dog.

You'll be infinitely happier (as will the dog).

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

It seems likely that the dieback was triggered by flood rains in the catchment in March 2021.

In the ten days up to 24 March, 524mm (21 inches) of rain were recorded at Bulahdelah and, despite the free-flowing short cut entrance, the river level remained continuously high for an extended period.

Grey mangroves are adapted to a wide range of salinity and there is no evidence of a build-up of sediment sufficient to cause immediate, simultaneous dieback across the whole area.

But the mangroves can be susceptible to prolonged inundation and that may have

been the prime factor contributing to the deaths.

Whatever the cause, the most puzzling aspect is that, within the broad area subject to dieback, there are quite large sections which appear to be relatively unaffected, despite being exposed to the same water conditions.

It is unfortunate that the phenomenon was not fully investigated when it first became apparent in 2021.

Regards, Col NICHOLSON, Hawks Nest.

Hunter Offshore Wind Proposal and regional prosperity DEAR News Of The Area,

IN the midst of a rapidly evolving energy landscape, the Hunter Offshore Wind Proposal emerges as a beacon of opportunity, not just for sustainable energy generation but for the region's economic vitality.

As we stand at the crossroads of environmental responsibility and economic progress, the potential for regional job creation and fortifying our energy grid cannot be overstated.

The Hunter has long been synonymous with traditional power generation, but times are changing, and so must we.

The offshore wind proposal promises to usher in a new era for our region, diversifying our economic base and laying the foundation for a sustainable future.

Job opportunities, both immediate and long-term, are the linchpin of this transformation.

At the heart of this project lies a plethora of job prospects, from skilled trades to engineers, project managers to maintenance crews and more.

The construction phase alone is set to be a boon for the local workforce, providing a surge in employment opportunities that will

Have Your Say Thursday, 11 January 2024

ripple through the community.

Moreover, the long-term operation and maintenance of the wind turbines ensures a stable stream of employment for years to come.

It's not just about jobs; it's about careers that offer stability, growth potential and security.

These projects serve as a testament to our commitment to future generations, as we transition from traditional energy sources to renewable alternatives.

Future-proofing the energy grid is not a choice; it's a necessity.

The Hunter Offshore Wind Proposal positions our region as a forward-thinking hub, ready to meet the demands of current and future industries.

As other regions grapple with the challenges of declining energy infrastructure, we are actively investing in resilience, sustainability and continued prosperity.

The benefits extend beyond the immediate economic impact.

By embracing renewable energy, we reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the global fight against climate change.

The wind project represents a harmonious balance between economic development and environmental stewardship, showcasing our commitment to responsible growth and industrial development.

Critics may argue about the initial costs

of such projects, but the long-term gains far outweigh the investment.

The offshore wind proposal is an investment in our community's future, creating a self-sustaining cycle of economic growth, job creation, and environmental responsibility.

As the energy landscape evolves, our region can emerge as a leader, attracting further investments and solidifying our position as a manufacturing centre of excellence.

Importantly, this proposal aligns with the broader global movement towards renewable energy.

As the world shifts away from traditional energy sources, embracing clean energy solutions, the Hunter Offshore Wind Proposal puts us on the map as a player in the renewable energy market. This not only secures our energy independence but also opens doors to export opportunities, further bolstering our economic standing and industrial capacity.

It is crucial to recognise that the success of Hunter Offshore Wind is contingent on a collaborative effort involving Government support, private investment, Unions and community engagement.

Policymakers must create a conducive regulatory environment that encourages the development of offshore wind projects while safeguarding the interests of workers and

the environment.

Private investors, recognising the longterm potential, should channel funds into these ventures, fostering innovation and local job creation.

Community engagement is equally pivotal.

Hunter Offshore Wind projects should involve local communities from the planning stage, addressing concerns, and ensuring that the benefits are shared equitably.

This approach not only enhances public support but also fosters a sense of ownership and pride among the people who will witness firsthand the positive impacts on their surroundings.

Hunter Offshore Wind represents a beacon of hope for a sustainable future where environmental consciousness aligns seamlessly with the creation of quality, secure Union jobs.

By embracing this innovative approach to energy production, we can foster economic growth, protect our environment, and build a brighter future for generations to come.

Santa visits Myall Coast

By Thomas O’KEEFE

CHILDREN all over the Myall Coast towns of Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest, Pindimar and Bundabah were thrilled to receive the jolly old elf himself, with his Helpers from the Pindimar/Tea Gardens Rural Fire Service (RFS), on Christmas Eve 2023.

Beginning at Pindimar South, the RFS’ big red Cat1

fire-truck stood in for Santa’s sleigh and reindeer, who were taking a last-minute rest before their big round-theworld sojourn the following day.

RFS Captain David Bright, who drove the sleigh/truck for Santa, commented to NOTA, “All was well, it was very successful, a lot of happy children got to see Santa.

“As usual, Santa contacted

us to give him a lift around the town and just check it out to see what kids were here from other areas.”

“We had an enthusiastic bunch of ‘elves’ assisting Santa, decorating the truck to look like a sleigh, and helping to hand out the lollies.”

Captain Bright has been involved with the annual Santa Run for longer than he cares to remember, and was

happy to get back into the event after missing it in 2022 for the first time in ten years.

After visiting kids at the Pindimar Carols, and with the Karuah RFS on 23 December, Santa came stocked with lollies that were given out to kids as they waited patiently along the route.

As a first, Santa’s route with the Pindimar-Tea Gardens RFS was tracked via Glympse through the RFS Facebook page, updated in real-time on the day so that no-one missed out.

Santa brings joy to families in Pindimar.

MYALL COAST News Of The Area q The crew prepare to deliver gifts to kids on Christmas Eve: Captain David Bright, new recruit Lisa Moss-Stuart, Santa and Alex Sinclair.

Pindimar South and North had to rise a little earlier, but several families came out there and across Bundabah in the morning.

After a quick rest-stop to feed and water the reindeer, who were resting at one of the local RFS Stations, Santa and his RFS Elves continued on into the more heavily populated Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens area by 1:30pm, ever more so with the large influx of holidaying visitors.

Santa’s sleigh-truck covered both sections of

Myall Quays before rounding Tea Gardens, then over the Singing Bridge and into Hawk Nest.

Both Reflections caravan parks were included, as well as Swan Bay with the rest of Hawks Nest’s main streets, before a circuit of Winda Woppa.

Santa made one more swoop back across the Bridge to swing past the Tea Gardens riverfront and Limestone, before heading back to pack up his toys and take off on his annual epic voyage.

q Some gave as good as they got, offering up sweet creations to the Sleigh team.

q Things kicked off in North Pindimar with kids and parents catching up with the sleigh-truck along the way. q Some impressive signage caught Santa’s attention in Hawks Nest.

Stinker’s History: The early Chinese fishers of Port Stephens

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE

APART from the Worimi, the early fishing effort in Nelson Bay was dominated by the Chinese, as revealed by a Royal Commission into the Fisheries of the Colony of New South Wales appointed in January 1880 and presented to His Excellency The Right Honourable Lord Augustus William Frederick Spencer Loftus, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of New South Wales and its Dependencies.

“Port Stephens, about 24 miles to the northward of Newcastle, with its innumerable out grounds, including the Broughton Island and extending as far as the Seal Rocks, is probably the grandest fishing station on the entire seaboard of the Colony.

“Connected with a vast series of lakes (the Myall Lakes) on the north and with the Karuah River, Telligherry Creek, and half a score of

important affluents inland, with miles upon miles of beaches fit for seine fishing, with an apparently unlimited endowment of the best fish, and with a telegraphstation within very easy distance, this noble harbor is unquestionable destined to become one of the largest factors in the metropolitan fish supply of the future.

“A considerable gang of Chinamen is always located at Nelson Bay, and as soon as one lot returns to its native country another takes its place.

“They catch their own fish here and preserve it after their own detestable fashion.

“At times these Chinese fishermen go out seaward as far as Long Island (Broughton Island), where they camp for several weeks at a time and catch vast quantities of fish, and might, if they choose, catch any quantity of crayfish (the ‘lobsters’ of our fishermen).”

The influx of Chinese

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 24

Myall Coast being at Cameron Park in Lake Macquarie.

The Cameron Park clinic, to be held on January 19, is for girls only.

Running from 9am to 3pm, the oneday clinics are designed for players aged 5-14 looking to develop their cricketing skills, with a variety of tailored drills, activities, and modified match play.

The clinics will cater to a variety of skills levels and are an amazing opportunity to play and love the game during the holidays, promising to be as exciting for a child who wants

workers into Australia came about as a direct result of the cessation of the transportation of convicts to NSW in 1840.

As the supply of cheap labour began to dry up, anxious employers brought in labourers from China, a practice that was continued until the discovery of gold in 1851.

When gold was discovered the Chinese bolted to the gold fields almost as soon as they were landed.

On realising that the gold fields did not guarantee immediate wealth and were more about hard work with little to no reward, the dispirited Chinese began to filter back into established communities in the hope of finding or creating suitable work.

Certain documents suggest that the Chinese arrived in Nelson Bay in the early 1800s, however it is generally accepted that they arrived in greater numbers

during the 1860s.

The Chinese line fished for snapper, netted garfish and salmon and trapped lobsters.

Little interest was shown in the passing schools of mullet.

The reference to the Chinese curing of fish at Nelson Bay is of interest.

The evidence of Chinese fish merchant Mr Chin Ateak

to play cricket for the first time after watching Australia win the ICC World Cup, as it is for a little cricketer looking to transition from Cricket Blast to playing junior cricket at their local cricket club.

The clinics are also ideal for Stage 1 and Stage 2 cricket players looking to improve their batting, bowling or fielding technique through intensive coaching.

All clinics will feature experienced cricket coaches and Cricket NSW staff who will train players on improving their techniques.

The players will receive a skills assessment at the end of the event.

to the 1880 Commission made detailed reference to this trade.

It appears to have been a very active, substantial industry which employed local fishermen to supply suitable local fish for curing and subsequent export.

When interviewed at the Commission, fisherman George Newton was asked: “Can you give us any idea of their mode of curing – what they did with the fish?”

“They split them and salt them and shove them into a cask – that was all,” Mr Newton said.

“At other times they would cut a little of the belly, take the insides out, just what they could reach, put a lot of salt in, and stuff the fish into a cask.

“Anyone who saw the Chinamen cure fish would not, I am sure, eat them.

“The Chinamen gave us between 4 and 11 shillings a dozen for snapper each weighing over 7 pounds.

“Some fish were salted and sun dried.”

It seems that all wasn’t smooth sailing for the Chinese in Nelson Bay, with a report written in the Newcastle Herald in 1865.

“On Monday night last a quarrel arose between

q Early etching of Nelson Bay in Illustrated Sydney News, 22 January 1881. The Chinese settled along Nelson Bay Beach.

seven or eight Chinese fishermen who lived together at Nelson’s Bay, near Port Stephens Heads, during which one of them seized a knife and attacked another against whom his wrath was specifically directed.”

The Raymond Terrace correspondent on The Maitland Mercury expanded on the incident at the time.

“Information was brought to town on Tuesday morning last, that two Chinese had been stabbed at a Chinese fishing establishment at Nelson’s Bay. “Sergeant Healy and Dr. Wells immediately started and on their arrival at the scene of the outrage found one of the men dead and the other lying in a precarious state, and unable, from the nature of his wounds, to be removed.

“The Chinaman that committed the deed was taken into custody and brought into town, as also the body of his victim.

“An inquest was initiated before Mr Shaw, coroner, but stands adjourned until Friday next, to allow of an interpreter being procured, as most, if not all, the witnesses are Celestials.”

q A girls-only cricket clinic will be held in Cameron Park near Newcastle on January 19.

TEN, 7.30pm

SBS, 9.30pm

With a walloping punch of nostalgia and a keen fondness for scenes involving super-fit folks running around in campy, tight leotards with hair that’s been sprayed and preened to an inch of its life, there’s an unmistakably over-the-top and fun vibe for this revamped take on the classic ’90s show.

Before you file it under “all a bit too much”, this competition is weighted down by the presence of expert, sports-mad hosts: former champion netballer Liz Ellis and former NRL player Beau Ryan. Kicking off around the same time as its British counterpart, the action sees everyday Aussies take on the in-house gladiators in a series of iconic events. Brace yourself for this theatrical show of strength.

A high-octane, headsplattering turn from Ted Lasso’s Juno Temple as wideeyed, doll-like housewife Dot – who knows her shotguns from her machine guns – has propelled this mysterious season. The allure of Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, with piercings, a deadly sense of loyalty and a freewheeling take on the law, has only added to the weird intrigue.

This arresting mix of characters, including Jennifer Jason Leigh as a pouty, well-heeled mother-in-law to be reckoned with, is the bread and butter of Noah Hawley’s eccentric murder-stained thriller.

In tonight’s season finale, Dot prepares biscuits amid her fight for survival. Tune in to find out how this cookie crumbles.

THE SCOTTISH ISLAND THAT WON THE LOTTERY

SBS, 7.30pm

In this feel-good doco, we find out how a tiny community deals with winning a fortune. The hardworking, selfsufficient people of North Uist, numbering around 1500, lead a simple, contented life. When 101 islanders won a share in a £3 million (almost A$6 million) lottery windfall, the difficult bit was working out what they should probably spend it on. This isn’t a rags to riches or decadent consumerism tale, but rather a heartwarming peek at a community, which is already pretty happy with their lot, but a breadmaker or a mobile phone might be nice.
