Lions complete restoration of iconic frieze wall at Bennetts Beach

By Marian SAMPSON and Sandra BOURKE

IN recent months, members of the Lions Club of Tea Gardens have undertaken the restoration of the iconic frieze wall at Bennetts Beach, Hawks Nest.

The wall, with stunning views over the beach out to Cabbage Tree Island, features friezes of the once endangered Gould’s Petrel who breed on the now protected islands.

On Sunday, 16 October, the wall was officially unveiled for the community to enjoy, with the area once again open to the public.

The Lions took on the

project to ensure the safety of people who visited the spot.

The wall had deteriorated over the years and was quite damaged with rust issues evident.

The project involved the removal of the old wall, building a new wall, cleaning artwork and information boards and reinstalling them and the creation of a new pathway.

To improve the overall look of the area, a garden has also been established behind the wall.

On Sunday, President Peter Webb took the moment to thank the many businesses and individuals who contributed materials and labour, noting, “This is a community project that demonstrates how volunteer and local businesses can work together to serve our community and actively improve where we live.”

The frieze was designed by local artist Chez Rands of the Myall River Artwalk Group and raises awareness of Gould’s Petrel for

Of note, the following businesses would not accept any payment for their generous provision of goods and services: Temporary Fence Hire (Singleton), SJ’s Rural Fencing and Excavation (Stroud), Tom Gardner Bricklaying (Tea Gardens), Corey Rhys Concreting (Pindimar) and Akzo Nobel (Industrial Coatings, Thornton).

In addition, Lions Club members volunteered around 400 hours of voluntary

labour.

Assistance was also received from MidCoast Council, Austral Masonry, Tea Gardens Men’s Shed, Hawks Nest Surf Club and Woody’s Nursery.

The Lions Club are proud to be able to continue to contribute to the amenity of Hawks Nest - Tea Gardens, and sincerely thank all of the contributors and the community for their support.

increasingly important in a digital society and economy.

To further expand the benefits of fibre connections, the Australian Government has also committed to enabling an additional 1.5 million premises to transition from Fibre to the Node (FTTN) to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) by 2025

– a significant proportion of which will be in regional areas.

Minister for Communications, the Hon Michelle Rowland MP said, “The NBN is a key investment in the nation’s future. Since 2009, the network has kept Australians connected, supported tele-health and remote education, and boosted economic productivity by expanding

access to new customers for small businesses.

“The Albanese Government is committed to ensuring that Australians get the full benefit of the NBN’s potential by enabling as many NBN lines to access full fibre connections as possible.

“Eligible local residents and businesses in Bundabah, Karuah, North Arm Cove and Pindimar will now be able to take advantage of higher speed services as a result of this

announcement.

“Expanding fibre access will ensure Australians are at the forefront of digital connectivity and will help bridge the digital divide.”

Senator for New South Wales, Senator Deborah O’Neill said, “This announcement is an opportunity for eligible local families and businesses to enjoy the benefits of a faster, more reliable fibre connection.

“I welcome NBN Co’s commitment to supporting

the families and businesses in Bundabah, Karuah, North Arm Cove and Pindimar, and encourage the community to check the NBN website to see whether they are eligible for an upgrade.”

Under the Australian Government’s plan:

• Around 80 percent of all regional and remote premises will have access to plans based on wholesale speeds of 100 Mbps or more by late 2025.

This was estimated at 33 percent in March 2022.

• 93 percent of all Australian homes and businesses will have access to plans based on wholesale speeds of 100 Mbps or more.

• Close to 90 percent of the NBN fixed-line footprint will have access to plans based on wholesale speeds of 500Mbps to close to gigabit speeds.

Catherine Richardson - The continuing legacy of the 1991 Bulahdelah Showgirl

By Marian SAMPSON

THE Bulahdelah Show is fast approaching (18 – 19 November), and this year the Catherine Richardson Award will be re-introduced as part of the Young Women Of The Year Competition.

Catherine was the eldest daughter of Ken and Pam Richardson, and was raised in Bulahdelah with her two older brothers and younger sister.

Spending her primary school years at St Josephs, Catherine attended Bulahdelah Central School until year eight before travelling to St Clares High School, Chatham through to the HSC.

At almost fourteen, Catherine started working on Saturdays and during the holidays in the local pharmacy with Chris and Allan Lyons.

When she finished her schooling she was employed full time.

Pam Richardson told News Of The Area, “Catherine was a friend to all, loved by the locals at the chemist for her genuine oneonone interaction with the customers; carrying their items to their cars, and taking medication deliveries to the homes of some handicapped people on her way home from work.”

She is remembered as having a friendly, welcoming smile for people from all walks of life.

Catherine loved children, and her mother believes that it was her caring way with people, from the well to do to the less fortunate, that made Catherine stand out from the crowd.

A capable rider, Catherine was also a member of the Bulahdelah Pony Club.

Catherine always took pride in her appearance, and in 1991 entered the Bulahdelah Showgirl competition.

After Catherine was

And it Only Took 121 Years!

For the first time the High Court of Australia will have a majority female bench, and it only took 121 years!

MULLANE & LINDSAY TAKING THE LEAD

Gardens

On 29 September 2022, the Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus KC announced the appointment of Justice Jayne Jagot to the High Court of Australia. Justice Jagot is the 56th Justice of the High Court and the seventh woman appointed to the Court. Justice Jagot joins the Honourable Chief Justice Susan Kiefel and Justices Michelle Gordon and Jacqueline Gleeson to achieve this historic milestone.

Interestingly, the number of female law graduates has outnumbered their male counterparts for quite some time. While the representation of women

in the legal profession has been increasing, the number of females in the profession’s higher ranks – including judges – has not kept up, and as at 30 June 2020 women made up 38.8% of all judges in Australia.

The gender shift in the constitution of our nation’s highest court is an exciting development for law in Australia and for the Australian people because, as observed by the President of the International Association of Women Judges, the Honourable Judge Vanessa Ruiz, “better decisions result when not all deciders look and think alike”.

continued until 1992 when the privilege was handed over to the new winner.

The Lions Club approached Catherine to be a role model for the organisation, however tragically she did not get to take on that offer.

“On Good Friday 1993, after midday, Catherine fell from her horse Eclipse and struck her head on a large stone,” Pam said.

“On Saturday we lost her.”

When she fell, Catherine had a group of kids waiting for rides on the beautiful Eclipse.

“The shock at the most sudden loss of life was enormous,” Pam said.

“The town was in mourning until well after her funeral.

“1700 to 1800 attended the church and cemetery; this was an estimated count by the funeral directors.

“They were amazed, we were not.

“Peter Irvine and a group

of people young and old made a cross and took it up to the top of the Alum Mountain, along with a generator, and turned it on each Easter as a memorial to Catherine.

“As time moved on other people continued this practice, but unfortunately during the discussions regarding the Bulahdelah Highway Bypass the cross was destroyed.

“This Easter, Catherine’s brother Ken made another and it is glowing at night.”

The Great Lakes Tourist Board in 1993 approached the Bulahdelah Show Association to have an additional Showgirl competition in the form of a perpetual trophy in memory of Catherine Richardson.

The Association agreed and Catherine will continue to be remembered and honoured in her local community each year as long as there is a Showgirl.

Concerns over methane pledge

MEMBER for Lyne Dr David Gillespie has expressed concern that local farmers, butchers, hospitality venues and many other industries in our region will be severely impacted if the Federal Government signs the Global Methane Pledge.

The Albanese government is contemplating joining 120 other countries that have already pledged to cut methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030.

Methane is a powerful but short-lived climate pollutant that accounts for about half of the net rise in global average temperature since the pre-industrial era.

President Biden and President Von der Leyen

announced at last year's September 17 Major Economies Forum (MEF) meeting that the United States and the European Union were inviting countries to support the Global Methane Pledge, later launched at COP 26 in November 2021 in Glasgow.

Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie said plans to impose penalties on producers whose livestock release methane would have a devastating impact on local communities.

“I understand from media reports an announcement to commit to the global methane pledge is imminent, ahead of next month’s UN COP27

when representatives of the Albanese Government will attend,” Dr Gillespie said.

“I’m appealing to my friends and colleagues across the aisle in the Labor Party not to proceed with this nonsensical pursuit of more taxes in the name of climate action,” Dr Gillespie said.

“It will cost our region many jobs if they are allowed to impose taxes and penalties on our farmers.”

Dr Gillespie said the move was not necessary for Australia to achieve net zero carbon emissions.

“Our nation has significantly reduced carbon emissions and we already have a plan in place to achieve net zero without the need to pursue this measure which will destroy regional jobs, regional communities and impact millions of Australians’ household budgets,” Dr Gillespie said.

“The stable diet at dinner of a piece of meat and four vegetables which has always been relatively healthy and affordable, is something just about all Australians would like to see continue.”

Dr Gillespie said a more realistic path to net-zero carbon by 2050 must include new nuclear technology in Australia’s future energy mix.

“I was recently in Canada meeting with their authorities who have put all the regulatory framework and systems in place to build their first small modular reactor which will become operational by 2028.

which will be an extra cost to all households. It’s also above and beyond the cost of installing solar, wind and batteries.

“Labor should dump its plans to support US President Joe Biden’s methane pledge; start supporting Australian jobs and industries; and embrace new nuclear technology as a viable pathway to achieving net zero,” he added.

NSW Farmers, the state’s peak agricultural advocacy body, has spoken out in opposition to Australia signing up to the Pledge, citing the impacts that similar action had had in New Zealand.

“It’s economical, it provides affordable baseload power 24/7, it’s compatible with the electricity grid and can be plugged into the locations where existing coal-fired power plants are being retired. Importantly, there is next to no emissions.”

“While I support having solar and wind as part of our energy mix, Labor’s plans for renewable energy will see tens of billions of dollars needed to create a new grid

NSW Farmers CEO Pete Arkle said while the federal government had been quick to promise no tax on farmers if it signed up to the Methane Pledge, the experience of New Zealand’s farmers proved talk was cheap.

“Farmers produce the food we eat and fibre to make the clothes we wear, yet we are constantly being painted as the ‘bad guy’ on climate change,” Mr Arkle said.

“Our sector is highly exposed to any change in climate – you only need to look at the weather we’ve seen this year – and we are prepared to do our part, but at the moment there’s not much we can do on methane

reduction but reduce the national herd.

“We need investment in research and development and better innovation to drive further emissions reductions.”

While there were promising trials and pieces of research being conducted to help reduce how much methane livestock produced, Mr Arkle said Australia was a long way from having a commercially-available ‘low methane’ option for stock feed.

He pointed out the agricultural sector had already reduced emissions by more than 30 percent, and was also removing carbon from the atmosphere by converting it into plants – something the heavy polluters were not doing.

“Rather than sign us up to a pledge that is all about international appearance, we need environment and farming working together to achieve these goals,” Mr Arkle said.

“If, however, we are simply expected to cut production then farmers will remain deeply opposed to this sort of policy that pits feeding the planet against saving the planet.

“People cannot eat or wear pledges – we need meaningful action on climate, not more hot air.”

Small water and sewer sites to go 100 percent renewable

MIDCOAST Council will soon be a step closer to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, after entering into a contract to power all of its small water and sewer sites with 100 percent renewable energy.

The arrangement will take effect in January 2023 and will reduce Council’s CO2 emissions by 3,258 tonnes per year.

This equates to around thirteen percent of Council’s Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions generated from purchased energy such as electricity, heating and cooling).

It will also deliver an estimated annual saving of around $139,000.

Council’s Director of Infrastructure and Engineering Services, Rob Scott, said it was a great outcome that showed Council was serious about reducing its carbon footprint.

“Our water and sewer assets account for around 80 per cent of our overall power usage, so to be able to transition a significant proportion of these assets to renewable energy by the start of next year is fantastic,” said

Mr Scott.

The move was unanimously supported by councillors at the June ordinary council meeting.

“It also aligns strongly with Council’s Climate Change Strategy, which was adopted in 2021 and promises to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions from Council operations by 2040.”

Mr Scott said purchasing accredited renewable energy from an electricity provider was just one of several measures Council was taking to transition away from fossil fuels.

Solar power systems have recently been installed at a number of Council’s large water and sewer sites, including the Tuncurry Recycled Water Treatment Plant and the Bulahdelah Water Treatment Plant.

“Achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions is a challenge that is going to require a range of solutions, but we’re excited to be taking these early steps,” said Mr Scott.

“From here our focus will turn to finding the most sustainable and financially viable ways to transition

the rest of our operations to renewable energy.”

North Shearwater to go to Land and Environment Court

By Marian SAMPSON

DEVELOPMENT in small communities can be complicated, with many moving to the region to enjoy the environment that unchecked development has the potential to destroy.

A development application for a 226 lot subdivision at 90 Viney Creek Road, Tea Gardens, known as North Shearwater, was refused earlier this year.

Court requesting the overturn of the refusal of their development application DA -100/2019.”

The DA submitted to MidCoast Council and the Hunter and Central Coast Regional Planning Panel was for a multi-precinct 226 lot subdivision with a drainage reserve and public reserves to be completed by staged construction.

The developer has since applied to appeal the decision before the NSW Land and Environment Court.

Myall Coast local Ronnie Nicols told News Of The Area, “In the interest of transparency for the Tea Gardens community please note the Wolin Investments Pty Ltd application to the Land and Environment

Precinct One was to be the first stage of the construction of 153 house sites averaging 450 square metres in area.

Ronnie believes that this application was intended to supersede the development approved by Great Lakes Council in the same location for 76 sites.

“The DA for double the number of sites was refused this year.

Shearwater development, including Precinct One, was not in context with its surroundings, including the long established Shearwater Estate with its average block size of 7000 square metres.

“The Wolin Investments site is adjacent to Shearwater with a subdivision road running the length of the site with multiple small blocks backing onto this road and the Shearwater fence line.”

Ronnie wants the community to be informed about this new application as its refusal or approval has implications for both lifestyle and environment.

Emergency Services update

Fire Visibility

When it comes to an emergency, time is of the essence.

Emergency services are quite good at finding addresses but sometimes, especially at night, it can be difficult when visibility is low and letterboxes and their numbers can be extremely hard to see.

Local Fire Brigades are asking the community to consider putting it on your ‘Is my House Fire Ready’ to do list to make your house numbers as visible as possible.

The Brigades say that reflectors are great, but

even just painting the number on either side of the letter box (instead of just the front) makes finding houses so much easier.

Livestock Fraud Alert

The Rural Crime

Prevention Team is asking farmers to be cautious of scammers purporting to sell livestock online through social media and marketplace platforms.

Investigators from the team have been made aware of recent incidents in NSW, where livestock that don’t exist have been advertised online fraudulently.

As livestock producers look to increase their buying capability through online sales, the RCPT has a few tips to assist buyers when purchasing livestock:

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is- you should inspect the livestock in person prior to purchasing, to ensure the

animals are as described in the advertisement.

Know who you’re dealing with - if you’ve only ever met someone online or are unsure of the legitimacy of a business, take some time to do a bit more research.

Never send money to anyone you don’t know - while online transactions can be simple and convenient, please remember that face to face transactions are the best way to minimise the risk of fraudulent activity.

will make a real difference while protecting and serving our communities.

“It is an honour to be in Goulburn today to witness Class 355 take the oath and pledge to keep the people of NSW safe.”

In 2019 the NSW Government announced the delivery of 1,500 additional police positions over four

years.

All of these positions have now been allocated and will be filled by the end of the financial year.

Class 355 is made up of 145 recruits, including 94 men and 51 women from various backgrounds and regions across the State and country.

International Day of Rural Women

WOMEN from regional, rural and remote NSW were celebrated on Saturday as part of the International Day of Rural Women.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the day recognises the crucial role women and girls play in rural communities, including in the workforce, as volunteers and within their families and local communities.

“Women keep our rural towns and communities connected and today is

a fantastic opportunity to acknowledge their contributions and thank them for everything they do,” Mr Toole said.

“Our regions are home to some of the most exceptional, talented and innovative women I’ve ever met.

“Women deserve to be celebrated for the way their efforts have built up and galvanised regional and rural towns, helping to make them wonderful places to live.”

The NSW Government has invested $3.7 million over the

next four years for the Rural Women’s Network, providing invaluable support to all women across NSW.

The funding helps deliver a range of highprofile initiatives and events, including supporting the 29th Annual Rural Women’s Gathering, held last week in Glen Innes and Guyra.

Minister for Women Minister for Regional Health and Minister for Mental Health Bronnie Taylor said the event was a roaring success, highlighting the

need for rural women to have spaces to connect and learn from each other.

“The Rural Women’s Gathering is such a special event for rural women as it creates an opportunity for them to come together to share information, build relationships and hear insights from women living across the State,” Mrs Taylor said.

“The Gathering is especially important for women who are from geographically isolated

areas, but also for women who are new to the regions, or are starting out their own business or project.

“Events like the Gathering help women to feel like they have a support network and are welcome in their community.”

Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW Dugald Saunders said the funding also supports the administration of the Hidden Treasures Honour Roll, which recognises the contributions of women who volunteer in

their regional communities.

“The Hidden Treasures Honour Roll does a fantastic job of recognising the women in our lives who go above and beyond for the benefit of their communities,” Mr Saunders said.

“Volunteers are the engine room of our country towns and deserve to be acknowledged for the tireless work they do.”

Nominations are now open and close on Wednesday 30 November at 11:59pm.

Lovable chat show host Graham Norton (above) always gets a superb collection of guests, but he might just have outdone himself in this season 30 premiere. For starters, Hollywood icon Jamie Lee Curtis drops by to discuss Halloween Ends. Comedy royalty Eric Idle speaks about surviving cancer, but does so with his usual irreverence and humour. If that’s not enough, the always-delightful David Tennant and rising star Lydia West also take a seat on the famous red couch (it’s finally back!) to discuss their latest projects on stage and screen. To cap it all off is this week’s musical guest is the inimitable Robbie Williams.

It’s time for the couples to get their hands even dirtier as Landscape Week kicks off on The Block. There’s plenty of mud-slinging on display as Ankur and Sharon are once again in the budget spotlight, while Jenny almost comes to blows in a disagreement with her landscaper. It’s an epic undertaking – transforming and redesigning 10 acres of backyard in seven days – but the Blockheads clearly aren’t afraid of a challenge.

National Carers Week

NATIONAL Carers Week runs from Sunday 16 to Saturday 22 October 2022, with this year the 30th anniversary of the celebration of Australia’s carers.

There are more than 850,000 carers across NSW.

NSW Minister for Families and Communities

and Minister for Disability Services Natasha MaclarenJones said National Carers Week is an opportunity to recognise the crucial support that carers provide and to thank them for their contribution to our community.

“This year’s theme ‘Millions of Reasons to

Care’ is a testament to the endless hours of support NSW carers provide,” Mrs Maclaren-Jones said.

“Caring for a loved one takes unimaginable dedication and patience and this is a week to highlight the vital work they do.

“These selfless

individuals in our community don’t look for thanks and praise but their incredible efforts need to be celebrated.”

In NSW, carers provide help to people with disability, mental illness, chronic illness, frail age, dementia or drug and alcohol dependency.

Almost 80,000 carers are young people 25 years or younger.

NSW carer Levina provides care and support for her younger brother.

“My little brother has autism and is non-verbal. I’ve basically been his carer all his life. There are some tough moments but nothing brings me more joy than seeing him live his life to the fullest – happy, healthy and thriving.

“He’s my best friend,” Levina said.

“Carers should know they’re not alone.

“There are so many of us out there who are in the same boat as you. Just remember your wellbeing is as important as the person you care for.”

Support for carers is available through the Carers Gateway.

Visit www. carergateway.gov.au or call 1800 422 737.

Knitting Nannas launch Constitutional challenge to new NSW anti-protest laws to protect democratic freedoms

LAST week two women from the flood and fire-impacted NSW Mid North Coast launched a Constitutional challenge to new anti-protest laws to preserve democratic freedoms of speech and assembly in NSW.

Plaintiffs Dominique and Helen will argue that to uphold our Constitution, the NSW Government must allow communities to peacefully protest against government policy in public spaces.

Dominique and Helen are members of the Knitting Nannas, an international organisation attempting to ensure that our land, air and water are preserved for our children and grandchildren.

Following highly publicised protests in Sydney earlier this year, the NSW Government ushered through amendments to the Road Amendment (Major Bridges and Tunnels) Regulation 2022 and introduced the Roads and Crimes Legislation Amendment Act 2022 to parliament without public consultation.

The new laws are so broad that a group of people could face serious criminal charges simply by protesting near a railway station and causing people to be redirected around them; meaning peaceful protesters could be fined up to $22,000 or face up to two years in jail.

Tea

By Lynda RICHARDS

TUESDAY 11 October: The annual RSL Pairs Trophy Day was held, many thanks to the Tea Gardens RSL Sub Branch for their continued sponsorship of this event and to Terry Munright (Representative of the Sub Branch) for presenting the prizes.

Teams are randomly selected, three games of Pairs six ends each.

The winners this year winning all three of their games were Sue Morris and Karen McPhie.

Runners Up with two wins and a draw were Ingrid Luck and Bette Saillard.

Thursday 13 October: Social bowls played two games of Triples and a game of Fours 12 ends.

Representing Dominique and Helen, the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) has launched a Constitutional challenge to section 214A of the Crimes Act 1900 that makes it an offence, for example, to remain ‘near’ any part of a ‘major facility’ if that conduct ‘causes persons attempting to use the major facility to be redirected’, on the basis it impermissibly burdens the implied freedom of political communication.

Dominique and Helen will also ask the Court to find that the definition of “major bridge, tunnel or road” is too broad.

Plaintiff, Knitting Nanna, mother and wildlife carer Dominique said, “As mothers, wildlife carers and Knitting Nannas who use our freedom to protest to push for climate action while floods and bushfires destroy our communities around us, this attack on our democratic freedoms is a slap in the face.

“We will ask the Court to find that aspects of these new laws are unconstitutional.

“Australians like us shouldn’t have to risk imprisonment or bankruptcy to participate in our democracy, and the Government should not be taking away our democratic rights.”

Co-plaintiff Helen said, “As Knitting Nannas, we believe well-

behaved women never make history.

“Women didn’t get the vote by asking nicely, they had to take bold action to demand their rights.

“We need to defend our freedom to protest as once it has been eroded, it is gone forever.

“There’s a long, proud history of peaceful protests in Australia, and our democratic freedoms are critical in pushing the Government to do the right thing and take climate action seriously.”

Both Dominique and Helen have been at the frontline of Australian climate impacts, experiencing the devastation, trauma and loss from drought, fires and floods in the last four years alone.

Dominique said, “In the 2019 drought, the river we live on stopped flowing - I didn’t think we would ever see that, it was devastating.

“My mother and father-in-law lost their home in the floods and were rescued from their house by the SES.

“Our communities have felt terrified, angry and stressed.

“Protest can transform those overwhelming feelings into change and action.”

Helen said, "In 2021, I helped my daughter buy a house, but it was flooded on the first night she moved in.

“It had supposedly not flooded for 100 years.

“I also know people who lost family members from the fires.

“As a psychologist, I have seen first-hand the trauma of climate impacts on people, year after year.

“We’ve tried everything from sending letters and signing petitions to meeting politicians, and still, the Government continues to dismiss climate science and approve new coal and gas projects.

“Coal and gas projects that fuel the climate crisis and devastate Australian communities with catastrophic floods and bushfires are the true disruptors of our way of life, not individuals exercising their democratic freedoms and taking part in peaceful protest.”

Environmental Defenders Office CEO David Morris said, “History has

shown that protest is crucial in a robust democracy and contributes towards achieving better outcomes for people, nature and our climate.

“Australians shouldn’t have to risk these serious criminal sanctions to participate in our shared democracy, through peaceful protest.

“Those without access to political power and decision-making must have a voice in our democracy.

“For people like Dominique and Helen, protest is an essential form of expression to sound the alarm about the impacts of climate change.

“If successful, this case will aid in the preservation of our democracy.

“It will see the worst excesses of these new laws struck out.

“It will provide clarity for all NSW citizens seeking to avail themselves of the democratic freedom to protest.”

Deb Gardner, Loretta Baker and Jean Glover were eight all on the 11th end v Sheila Rattray, Jan Coomer and Maureen Campbell.

Jean’s team scored two shots on the last end winning 10 v 8.

Dorothy Thompson, Kathie Rimmer and Bette Saillard led all the way defeating Pam Gilchrist, Bev Dunn and Deyonne Page 17 v 10.

A similar tale on the next rink, a win to Chrissy Buddle, Maynie Roberts, Jeanette Emmett and Robyn Webster 17 v Judi Polak, Carol Hayden, Ingrid Luck and Dale Winter 7.

Friday 14 October: Sheila Rattray, Lynda Richards, Karen McPhie and Robyn Beaumont headed to Soldiers Point Bowling Club to compete in NDWBA

annual Versatility DayCompetition.

First up was Pairs with the two teams of Sheila Rattray and Robyn Beaumont and Lynda Richards and Karen McPhie both having wins.

Karen’s team winning score gained them a prize for the best performing Pairs of the day.

Next Robyn played Singles winning 23 v 4

while the others played a Triples game also having a good win here. The day concluded with a four point loss in the Fours.

Their overall result of four wins out of five games placed them 2nd overall just one point behind the winners who were a Grade one Pennant team from Soldiers Point.

Well done ladies.

Dorin’s Draws

By Paul DORIN

On the Couch

DEAR Jasminda, I went to the bottle shop last night and bought a cheap pinot grigio to add to my risotto.

When I took it to the counter, the sales assistant asked if I'd like a chilled one.

I said no, it's just for cooking. He raised his eyebrows and said, 'Of course it is.'

Should I feel insulted?

Mrs Julie S.

Dear Julie, Sales assistants seem to be a lot more intrusive than they used to be.

Maybe it's a new module of training they receive.

Soon there will be mandated health announcements when you're just trying to do some basic carb-loading.

Something like: Thank you for your purchase.

You're about to consume 580 calories including saturated and trans fats, enough sodium to bring on some pretty impressive high blood pressure readings, and over 100 grams of carbs with just 2 grams of fibre.

Before you leave, I should mention the meal also

Salinity or blackwater event?

DEAR News Of The Area,

AS a twenty three year resident of Swan Bay, a regular river kayak paddler and a daily walker to the river mouth, I was interested to read Gordon Grainger’s thoughts in last week's edition about salinity, sand movement and dredging of the eastern (short cut) river entrance.

I suspect the dieback of grey mangroves in Swan Bay is unrelated to either water salinity or sedimentation.

The dieback is restricted to a two to three kilometre section of the river upstream from Tea Gardens.

Although the dieback is quite extensive there are large sections within the broader affected area which are showing no signs at all of

dieback.

If salinity was a cause I would expect the dieback to be uniform and be evident along the whole length of the river.

Similarly, sedimentation seems to be an unlikely cause.

The dieback commenced suddenly and simultaneously across the affected area, suggesting a single issue or

event may have been the cause.

There is certainly no sign of any sudden build up of sediment which might have triggered it.

Symptoms of dieback first appeared in April/May of 2021.

It is possible that flood rains in the catchment –Bulahdelah received 614 mm rain in March 2021, including

includes over two tablespoons of sugar that will have you reaching a sugar high before you reach the first roundabout, and a sugar crash about 30 kilometres later.

Have a nice day.

Sometimes we just want to buy something incognito.

Perhaps you weren't convincing enough with your 'it's just for cooking' line.

Not saying enough is one of the telltale signs of lying during an interrogation, something I've gleaned from watching one too many true crime interrogations on social media (with those pesky algorithms now suggesting I may need a self-help program and/or a home detention ankle monitor).

Next time you go to the bottleshop, add some believable flourishes to your purchase.

Arrive wearing an apron and a flustered expression.

Head to the counter with confidence.

Announce that you are making white wine braised ribs and though you have the cream, the salted butter, and were just in the process of making the gremolata (that will throw them), you were clean out of pinot grigio.

Then, go home and make a toasted cheese sandwich and pour yourself a nice glass of wine chilled down with two stainless steel reusable ice cubes.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

281 mm on 22nd March alone – may have triggered a localised blackwater event.

It’s unfortunate that possible causes were not better investigated when the dieback first became evident.

Regarding the eastern (short cut) entrance, it will be interesting to see if any different pattern of sand deposition develops over time or whether the entrance continues to silt up as it has done after each of the recent dredging programs.

Hawks Nest Tea Gardens Progress Association Update

HELLO, the last couple of months have been busy for the Progress Association with the delayed opening of our pool due to the $700k upgrade causing much angst in our community.

I have again escalated these concerns to the MidCoast Council (MCC), in particular to the Liveable Communities Review of MCC Pools which commenced on 23 February this year (MCC Notice of Motion 43/22).

However, the longstanding issue of unactioned and irregular basic maintenance (such as mowing, cleaning, painting, repairs, etc), as well as the increasing number of delayed projects have become serious issues for Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens ratepayers, adversely impacting the liveability, wellbeing and value of our area.

These are all being well documented by the Progress Association for escalation to both our local and state governments.

Events

On the upside,

preparations for our first fundraiser this year, the Masquerade Party and Comedy night are all in hand for a great fun night.

Most tickets have sold but there is still time to purchase a great seat for only $25 and support the Lions Club, Red Cross, as well as your Progress Association (call 0434 151 375).

Local favourites O’Spice will now be playing with comedy performances by radio legend Greg Hayes plus great prizes, so don a mask for fun and see you there!

Planning is also underway for next year’s Seniors Week ‘Let’s Celebrate’ Festival on Saturday 11 February 2023.

Due to the MCC upgrade of the Hawks Nest Community Hall, the Festival will now be held at the Myall Park Sporting Complex at Hawks Nest Oval – so bigger and better!

Following an onsite meeting, Scouts Australia and our local boxing club have kindly agreed to let us use the Hall for the Festival which is great!

We will be seeking volunteers to help clean up the Scout Hall so it can be enjoyed and usable for all.

Bennett’s Beach Beachside has been improved with over 50 natives planted in Providence Bay Park by the MCC at the behest of the HNTGPA –thank you!

We are also monitoring the new toilet block installation to ensure additional showers are installed, accessible pathways and safe landscaping for all those barefoot locals and visitors walking back from the beach.

We are also working with our Myall River Art Walk Group to renew the surfside mural, noting their excellent work to date at the Lions Park Lookout, especially by local artist, Jeanette Hart.

A huge congratulations to the Tea Garden's Lions Club President Peter Webb and all members for their very successful restoration of the Gould’s Petrel frieze lookout at the Beach.

The new lookout wall

looks magnificent and is a credit to all who contributed to the re-construction, including the Myall River Art Walk Group and sculptor, Chez Rands.

Membership

Our membership drive continues upwards, and we have just over 100 members which is great with another 50 plus renewals due by mid-November - the more united voices the better.

The current Management Committee (MC) comprising Trevor Jennings (Vice President), Jeannette Hart, Sandra Bourke, Leigh Allen, Kath Verdon, Kay Jones, John Verdon, and Christian Patterson has met every month since forming in March 2022 (now seven months).

At inception, Dan Holmes who manages our Meals On Wheels (MoW) was also a Committee member but recently stepped down to best support the pending upgrade to MoW facilities.

We sincerely thank Dan for his steadfast and invaluable service to our community.

In that seven months the MC has also completed six grants, won two, with four

www.newsofthearea.com.au

pending and lots more to follow, all guided by our draft strategic plan.

Given the MCC’s financial constraints, grants will be the most effective means of getting things done and we will continue to submit.

The MC is also tracking twelve MCC work orders for a number of infrastructure repairs, as well as lobbying for an improved maintenance schedule.

We have also met with local Councillors, regularly attended the Southern Area Reference Group, and liaised with our State Member, Kate Washington MP and Federal Member, Dr David Gillespie MP, consistently advocating for improved infrastructure and funding for our area.

The MC is also very committed to working with other community volunteer and sporting groups with some joint initiatives in the pipeline.

Our active volunteers (we always need more!) have safely supported working bees at the Lions Lookout, TG Skate Park and Providence Bay Park to date – thank you!

While designating the eastern entrance as a navigational channel sounds appealing it is unlikely that the NSW government would accept the need for two navigational channels into the Myall River and the one requiring less dredging and maintenance, the northern channel, will continue to be favoured.

Regards, Col NICHOLSON, Hawks Nest.

We have also upgraded our Facebook site (12,165 views since March), provided members with a bi-monthly Newsletter, established a website to promote our Association and to preserve our past, and upgraded our audio-visual equipment.

Our October General Meeting was well attended, with Cr. Paul Sandilands the guest speaker.

Paul was forthright in his responses to members' questions and has agreed to be a regular visitor.

The next day, Paul highlighted our issues with the MCC, assisting with our advocacy to date.

A similar list will be tabled as “Question On Notice” at the MCC Community Conversations Meeting on Thursday, October 27 from 6pm at the Tea Gardens Baptist Church and I encourage you to support and attend.

Finally, a Notice for our Annual General Meeting has been issued for Tuesday, 13 December 2022 at the Green Room, Hawks Nest Golf Club from 6.30pm.

See you at the Masquerade Fundraiser.

Cheers, Bruce MURRAY, President on behalf of your Management Committtee.

for Hamilton North, 82-53.

Finals are always nail-biting events and supporters rode every shot with Division 3 taking on WindaleGateshead and Division 4 opposing Adamstown.

Division 4 started slowly and appeared to be in trouble in the early ends, but they gathered their momentum and finally strode away to win the first Club Pennant in thirteen years, downing Adamstown 66-44.

One down, one to go.

I was not at this match but the score in the Division 3 game tells me that it was not all plain sailing.

Their 65-55 win though was good enough to secure the second Pennant and the little Club that others had discounted, pulled off the feat of winning two Pennants in one day.

The unbelievable had just happened.

Congratulations to both sides, a fabulous result for the little Club that is little no more.

12 October

Great weather today saw 52 bowlers on the greens with 2 visitors.

The morning game was decided by the 'Highest winning score' and with a score of 21 Bill Heylbut, Paul Carter, and Bruce Murray were the winners.

The afternoon game was won by Ron Green, Ian Baker, and Bill Thrift with the result decided by the 'Lowest winning score.'

They had a score of 10.

THIS is a golden opportunity to enter the property market in Tea Gardens/ Hawks Nest with this cute starter.

111 Myall Street, is a Western Red Cedar timber clad cottage offering 3 bedrooms, a large central living space, a study or guest bedroom, 1 x good sized bathroom with a 2nd toilet available in the laundry.

There is a good sized lock up garage and a fully fenced front yard that has room for pets, play equipment, or trailer/boat parking.

The property will need some renovation and updating - but the location and bones are good.

Two bedrooms are a generous size, the living area has pot belly wood burner, the kitchen was recently updated and a small back porch.

One neighbour is the Baptist Church on large grounds giving a feeling of more space around the property.

The location means it is within an easy walk of the Myall River and the restaurants, cafes and shops that are a

key part of the Tea Gardens lifestyle. Or ride the bike / take a short 3-4 minute drive to the beaches of Hawks Nest and enjoy a choice of either the surf beach or the harbour beach with it's amazing views over the Bay.

If you feel the property boom of the last few years has priced you out - this one might be your best chance to get a 'foot in the door'.

For more information, contact Century 21 Coastal Properties.

The overall winners on the day were Geoff Page, Graeme Watkins, and Keith Smith with a score of 32.

The Garden Eatery voucher was won by Paul Carter.

Our thanks to the Garden Eatery for their support.

Making

By John SLATER

15-16 OCTOBER

TEA Gardens Country Club lawn bowls history was made this weekend when the little bowling club at Tea Gardens shook off its 'easy beat' mantle and instead roared back to life in a display of bowls that will go down in our folklore as one of the amazing two days of bowls in living memory.

Both the First National sponsored Division 3 and 4 sides made the Sectional playoffs of the Newcastle District Pennant competition, both only conceding one loss for the season.

They then had to make their way through the Sectional winners round to qualify for the finals.

This required that they play sudden-death knockout rounds against four opponents to win the Pennant.

That one side should achieve this feat would be outstanding but to have both sides go through would be amazing.

Division 3 played their games at the East Maitland Bowling Club and achieved the following results;

On Saturday, in round one they played Soldiers Point and won 77-40.

In the afternoon they played another strong club, Beresfield and won 65-48.

Meanwhile, Division 4 were playing their rounds at Beresfield and won their morning game against Lambton 77-40.

They backed up this win in the afternoon beating Beresfield, 65-48.

With both sides through to the semi-final stage on Sunday Division 3 beat Bar Beach, 67-55 and Division 4 made it through accounting
