SATURDAY 14 May is the annual Open Day at the Salamander Bay Fire Station.

Your local firies are inviting you to their station to check out fire safety in the community and at home.

It is that time of year when we tend to grab out our winter woollies, heaters and electric blankets to stave off the winter chill but we are being reminded to check all our equipment before we plug it in.

Rodney (Rod) Limn, Captain of the Salamander Bay Fire and Rescue crew, told News Of The Area, “Open Day is to introduce the winter fire safety checklist.

“The majority of fires that Fire and Rescue NSW respond to happen during winter months.”

Sadly this year, due to COVID restrictions, there will be no access to the office and toilet facilities and while the trucks will be on display, there will

Illegal motorbikes still an issue in Raymond Terrace FROM Page 1 councillors on Council’s management approach.

John Maretich, Port Stephens Council Asset Section Manager, stated that the Council is taking a collaborative approach to working with the local Police for management of illegal motorbikes.

“The NSW Police have recently sought assistance from Port Stephens Council, neighbouring Councils and other large property owners such as National Parks and Hunter Water Corporation to attempt to combat the activity.

“Currently the Police run programs including education and surveillance with the aim of reducing illegal motorbike activities and have sought Council’s assistance through the collaboration of education, communication and information,” Mr Maretich said.

Mr Maretich said that after looking at the physical barrier options along Lakeside with the Police, there has been an indication that this may not have the desired effect due to the easy access of the pathway to neighbouring reserves.

“When fronted with barriers, illegal bike riders may be forced further into adjoining

properties/reserves and still access the footpath between physical barriers.

“In addition, providing physical barriers may result in risky illegal bike rider behaviour onto the road network, causing more concerns and risk to the public and legal drivers on our road network,” Mr Maretich said.

Port Stephens Council says that they will continue to work with the Police to reduce the illegal motorbike activities. The Port Stephens Hunter Police District believe that this combined illegal motorbike program will provide a better outcome than spending funds on barrier options at this location.

Plastic laundry baskets are often used to transport koalas - a laundry basket with a towel or blanket draped over it is quite effective.

A second person should attempt to

distract the koala by holding a rolled up towel or some clothing near its mouth while the koala is approached from the rear.

New Koala Signs To Create Awareness

By Marian SAMPSON

ONE local family is going a little bit further to raise awareness of our local koalas and where they cross the road.

Vehicle strike is one of the biggest causes of injury to our wild koala population.

Casey Freeman and her children have been installing fluro signs to highlight the places where vehicle strikes are causing injuries to koalas.

Casey said, “If you see these signs in an area you'll know this is a major kill zone for koalas.

“We started with Port Stephens Drive as this has been the worst kill zone by far,” she said.

Casey and her family are passionate about getting drivers to slow down.

Community members should also know what to do in the event of a vehicle strike on a koala.

Port Stephens Koala Hospital not only has a great vet with extensive experience in treating koalas, but also has dedicated rescue teams that attend and help any injured koalas.

The 24 hour rescue contact phone number is 1800 775 625.

The Koala Hospital will come out 24/7 to assist a sick or injured koala.

However, if you need to contain a koala for their safety (or your own), prepare everything

2,000 hectares reserved for vulnerable species

By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens and the Myall Coast are home to some amazing and sadly threatened and endangered species.

Most notably the koala is under threat, however the region is also home to the Powerful Owl, which is one of more than twenty threatened species to benefit from three recent additions to the NSW National Parks estate.

Minister for Environment James Griffin said more than

2,000 hectares has been acquired in three locations – in Monaro, near Yamba, and north of Taree.

“These three acquisitions are part of a program targeting some of the most important areas in NSW for koala conservation,” Mr Griffin said.

“Securing koala habitat in national parks is part of our strategy to double the koala population by 2050.

“As well as koalas, these national park additions

2 PORT STEPHENS NEWS OF THE AREA

will protect an incredible diversity of threatened species.

“Since 2019, the NSW Government has secured 600,000 hectares for addition to the national park estate to protect threatened habitats, wildlife and cultural heritage in perpetuity.”

In the state’s south near Cooma, the NSW Government, through the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), has purchased 1,052 hectares

adjoining Macanally State Conservation Area.

Featuring long unburnt woodlands, it forms part of a corridor linking the tablelands with the coastal forests and is a critical step in securing the regional koala population.

In the State’s north, NPWS has purchased 752 hectares adjoining Bundjalung National Park near Yamba.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

“This is a big win for koalas, and also for the host of threatened species that share these forests, such as brushtailed phascogales, yellowbellied gliders and powerful owls.

“The third property is 200 hectares adjoining Killabakh Nature Reserve, in the ranges north of Taree.

"This property contains 130 hectares of wet sclerophyll forest containing tallowwood, flooded gum and Sydney blue gum, all important food trees

for koalas.”

Protecting the Powerful Owl The Powerful Owl is the largest owl in Australasia.

It is a typical hawk-owl, with large yellow eyes and no facial-disc.

Adults reach 60 cm in length, have a wingspan of up to 140 cm and weigh up to 1.45 kilograms.

Males are larger than females.

The upper parts of the Powerful Owl are dark, greyish-brown with indistinct off-white bars.

The underparts are whitish with dark greyish-brown V-shaped markings.

Juvenile Powerful Owls have a white crown and underparts that contrasts with its small, dark streaks and dark eye patches.

The call of this species may be heard at any time of the year, but it is more vocal during the autumn breeding season.

It has a slow, deep and resonant double hoot, with the female's being higher pitched and expressing an upward inflection on the second note.

Powerful Owls mainly prey on medium-sized arboreal marsupials, particularly the Greater Glider, Common Ringtail Possum and Sugar Glider.

Flying foxes are important prey in some areas; birds comprise about ten to 50 percent of the diet depending on the availability of preferred mammals.

As most prey species require hollows and a shrub layer, these are important habitat components for the owl.

Salamander Bay Fire Station Open Day FROM Page 1 be no access.

There will be a free sausage sizzle and people can take a turn on the fire hose to see how hard it is to hit the target.

Rod is hoping to be able

to demonstrate the fat fire simulator on the day as it shows just how little it takes to set a kitchen on fire when cooking with oil.

Rod and the team are wanting to help local families make sure that they are ready for the winter months.

This means having

working smoke alarms installed, having a family escape plan in case of a house fire, checking fireplaces and making sure that the chimney is professionally cleaned annually, as well as checking heaters and electric blankets before plugging them in.

Rod said it is important

that heaters are not plugged into power boards and that electric blankets should only ever be rolled to store it, not folded, as folding the blanket can cause damage to the wires.

“If an electric blanket has been folded you should check every wire by feeling for damage before putting it back on the bed.

“With 50 percent of house fires starting in the kitchen it is important that we all ‘Keep Looking While Cooking!’”

A further 40 percent of house fires are caused by electric appliances or faults.

Rod and the Fire and Rescue Team at Salamander Bay Fire Station are ready to welcome families next Saturday, where they will be

happy to explain how you can be ready for winter in a fire safe home.

They will also be handing out free activity books for children.

Mayhem at Medowie ANZAC Dawn Service muster site

By Marian SAMPSON

WHILE the ANZAC Day service at Medowie has been hailed as one of the best ever for the area, it did not go ahead without issues.

Those wishing to participate in the Dawn Service were asked to muster at the Bull n Bush Hotel car park, however they did so in pitch black conditions with no lighting available.

News Of The Area has been contacted by one person that has a broken bone after a fall sustained in the premarch muster; that person is waiting to hear if they need surgery to repair the damage.

They are now working from home and have been advised they are unable to bear load on the leg for at least six weeks.

Another elderly gentleman was attended to by the NSW Ambulance prior to the march after a fall in the carpark.

He was later able to go

home with his wife Ian Harding, President of the Medowie RSL sub-Branch told News Of The Area, “It skipped our minds… we are disappointed and upset that this happened.”

The Dawn Service took place at the new war memorial at Medowie Social.

However, the muster site was allegedly problematic, with barriers to manage cars causing havoc and attendees being asked to use the torches on their mobile phones to assist with safety.

It appears that this occurred due to a change in venue, with the Bull n Bush no longer hosting the postservice ANZAC Day crowds.

With the march concluding at Medowie Social, the Bull n Bush did not open until later in the day.

“We have a plan in place for next year to have lighting in place,” Mr Harding said.

The NOTA understands that the RSL has insurance policies in place.

MOTORISTS are advised of changed overnight traffic conditions from next week on the Pacific Highway at Hexham to carry out safety improvement work on Hexham Bridge.

Starting Tuesday 10 May, Transport for NSW will carry out the work including truss steel repairs, maintenance to the lift span, and general routine works to the bridge deck and expansion joints.

To minimise the impact on motorists, work will be carried out from 8pm to 5am Sunday to Thursday.

Work is expected to be complete in six weeks, weather permitting.

The southbound bridge

will be closed during work hours and all traffic will be diverted onto the northbound bridge, which will operate with one lane in each direction.

Traffic control and a reduced speed limit of 40 km/h will be in place for the safety of workers and motorists.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.

Transport for NSW thanks motorists for their patience during this time.

No action for Flying Fox issues

By Tara CAMPBELL

THE Ross Wallbridge Reserve Flying Fox colony has long been an issue for Raymond Terrace locals.

In a Council meeting on 8 February 2022, Councillor Giacomo Arnott raised a notice of motion regarding an update on the current flying fox numbers and clarification on the flying fox management actions in place for the reserve, noting that they “continue to be a nuisance for locals”.

The flying-foxes first established a camp at Newbury Park, Raymond Terrace in the summer of 2011 and have since expanded into the adjacent Ross Walbridge Reserve in November 2014.

The Raymond Terrace Camp is located adjacent to light industrial, commercial and residential areas causing community concern due to noise, smell and excrement impacts.

Port Stephens Council

Strategy and Environment Section Manager, Brock Lamont, said that Council and community volunteers, predominantly Wildlife In Need of Care Inc., undertake regular population counts to monitor the camp. “Similar to other Flying Fox camps and typical of the species, the population number fluctuates substantially based on the availability of seasonal feeding resources.

“Council continues to monitor the population, which typically fluctuates between 2,000 to more than 20,000 individuals,” he said.

Mr Lamont stated that the population was estimated at 13,300 in early

March 2022.

In 2018, Council prepared and adopted the Flying Fox Camp Plan of Management for the Raymond Terrace Camp which outlines the issues of concern caused by the presence of Flying Foxes and the measures that will be taken to manage the land.

This is predominantly how Council manages the colony.

With this information provided at the Port Stephens Council meeting on 26 April, Councillor Arnott stated that he was irritated due to no action being proposed in the report.

“I think the community deserves better and Council ADVERTISEMENT

needs to work with them to do our part to rid our local environment of these animals.

“There are ways to move the flying fox colonies on without harming them, and while maintaining their capacity to breed and survive, noting that they are a protected species.

“I think as a Council, our primary duty is to our ratepayers, our people that live in Raymond Terrace, that live in our community to make sure we're protecting them from issues like this that are causing distress to them and their families,” he said.

Lakeside Leisure Centre Pool

By Tara CAMPBELL

COUNCILLOR Peter Kafer has called upon the Port Stephens Council to provide information on the Lakeside Leisure Centre.

Cr Kafer raised a notice of motion calling for the General

Manager to brief Council on where the subsequent staged works of Lakeside Leisure Centre (pool) are up to.

“Given that Stage One (the indoor and outdoor 50 metre pool) has been in place for over twenty years, the local community deserves

to be better informed as the Raymond Terrace community have been asking this question for years,” Cr Kafer said.

The Lakeside Leisure Centre was constructed in 2000 to replace the previous aquatic centre that was located in Raymond Terrace.

Compared to the previous aquatic centre, Lakeside Leisure Centre increased the level of service to include an indoor heated leisure pool for both learn to swim and recreation swimmers.

The new centre also has an external 50m pool that is

www.newsofthearea.com.au heated all year round.

Port Stephen Council Assets Section Manager, John Maretich, said that the centre was located at Lakeside to cater for growth in the Raymond Terrace and Medowie districts.

“The centre site has the capacity for future expansion that includes a 25m indoor pool.

“External market expressions of interest were undertaken in the past but due to the quantum of capital expense required for this next stage, there were no interested parties,” he said.

Further information will be provided to not only councillors, but the community following the motion’s unanimous support.

State Road Crash Rescue Challenge

By Marian SAMPSON

THE State Emergency Service (SES) don’t snuggle down under the doona during a storm - they get up and strap on their boots and get stuck into saving our lives, homes and cars.

These well trained volunteers are an integral part of our statewide emergency response network and they often run towards danger when instinct demands us to run in the opposite direction.

Local SES crews recently came together to compete in the 2022 State Road Crash Rescue Challenge as part of a multi-agency team.

It is the only team of its kind, involving members from NSW SES (Port Stephens Unit), NSW Ambulance (Singleton Station) and VRA Rescue NSW (Central Coast Squad) coming together to form the ‘Hunter

Valley Rescue Team’.

This diverse crew were the overall first placed NSW Team, the overall first place SES Team, the first placed team in the CPR Challenge, and the second placed NSW team in Entrapped Rescue.

David Douglass, the Port Stephens SES Team Leader, told News Of The Area, “The State Rescue Challenge was a great opportunity for over 250 rescue professionals to come together, share learnings, develop skills and participate in a friendly competition with each other.

"The real winners from this challenge are the communities we protect,with the improved inter-agency cooperation and ability that each member brings to a rescue scene.

"It is absolutely amazing what our Hunter Valley Rescue team has achieved for the second year running. We can

English-born Gill is a multidiscipline artist who enjoys participating in many of the groups within the Gallery.

Art has been Gill’s passion since she was eleven years old.

Attending art school as a

young person in Sheffield, Gill went on to the Leicester College of Art to study Foundation and Leisurewear Design.

At nineteen years old she gained a City and Guilds Diploma, which qualified her to become a designer.

Gill worked in the UK for four years, before leaving to

spend a year in the USA. On her return to the UK, she joined the Berlei Foundation Wear Company in London.

In 1973 she was offered a position in Sydney.

After many years of working and travelling the world looking for new ideas, Gill married in 1982 and moved to the beautiful Port Stephens area, where she was able to resume her love of painting.

Meryl Miller of the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre told News Of The Area, “Gill works mainly in acrylics - mainly influenced in the early years by the wonderful paintings of Patrick Carroll watercolour and pen and ink.

“She has won over 100 prizes and commendations, including three prizes at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney.”

Gill is one of the centre's members that has sold work around Australia and

education opportunities to all people of Port Stephens’.

Port Stephens Council will now write to the NSW Minister for Education, the Shadow Minister for Education and the State Member for Port Stephens to conduct an urgent review of the December 2009

report on education provision and demographic patterns in Port Stephens using current demographic data.

In addition, Council will call on the NSW Minister for Education to carry out an environmental audit of the currently proposed

High Range in Fern Bay

By Tara CAMPBELL

A MAN was charged with high range drink driving in Fern Bay last week.

At approximately 1.50pm on Tuesday 3 May 2022, emergency services were called to Nelson Bay Road, Fern Bay, following reports

however, he was uninjured during the incident.

Officers from Traffic and Highway Patrol Command attended, and the man was subjected to a roadside breath analysis which returned a positive result.

The man was arrested and taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station where he underwent a secondary breath analysis which

a Subaru Tribeca had hit a brick fence.

The man had collided when attempting to negotiate a driveway of a retirement village in Fern Bay. Officers from the Port Stephens Hunter Police District stated that the force

of the collision caused both front airbags to deploy.

The impact destroyed a brick pier forming the fence line of the property, exposing electrical wires.

The driver of the vehicle, a 47-year-old man, was assessed at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics,

designed to raise money for Parkinson’s NSW. “Your generous support will assist us in reaching our fundraising goal of $3000 and allow Parkinson's NSW to continue its mission to enhance the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's, their carers and families,” said Bob Crampton, Port Stephens Parkinson’s Disease Support Group Leader.

The Port Stephens Parkinson’s Support Group’s guest speaker at their April monthly meeting was Rebekah Wilson, the Senior Philanthropy Manager from the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI).

Mr Crampton told News Of The Area, “Rebekah gave an excellent presentation outlining some of the history of HMRI and some of the research programs.

“What began in 1988 as a bold vision to improve community wellbeing in the Hunter region of NSW, HMRI

has today evolved into a world-class institute with 1500 medical researchers, students and support staff striving to prevent, treat and defeat a multitude of serious illnesses.”

One of HMRI’s current research programs explores the link between Parkinson’s and the gut biome.

Researchers have found that there is a connection between brain (neurological) health and gut health and the bugs growing in the gastrointestinal tract.

Evidence suggests the brain can directly influence the microbes in our gut while gut microbes interact with signalling to the brain.

HMRI are currently recruiting people to participate in this research.

The members of our support group were very impressed with Rebekah’s presentation and many are keen to be involved in the research, both people living with Parkinson’s and those that do not have Parkinson’s.

HMRI needs both to be involved.

Anyone who would like more information, please contact Bob Crampton by email at portstephensparkinsonssg1@gmail.com.

The Support Group’s next meeting will be held on Thursday 19 May and the guest speaker will be Evelyn Collins, a neurologist nurse from John Hunter Hospital, who will be accompanied

by Olivia Chisholm, a PD nurse.

Cassie Morgan, the Support Group

returned an alleged reading of 0.316 in 210 litres of breath.

The offence of high range PCA is committed by a person who drives a motor vehicle on a public road with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.150 or above.

The maximum penalty for a first offender is the recording of a criminal con-

viction, imprisonment for eighteen months, a fine of 30 penalty units and an automatic licence disqualification for three years.

The man was issued a Court Attendance Notice for driving with high range PCA and his NSW drivers licence was suspended.

He will appear at Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 20 June 2022.

Coordinator from Parkinson’s NSW will also be attending the group’s May meeting.

The support group meets at the Tomaree Library and Community Centre and the meeting starts at 1.30pm.

Everyone is welcome.

Stepping Up For Parkinson’s

By Marian SAMPSON

PARKINSON’S Disease is a movement and mood disorder typically presenting with symptoms such as slowness of movement, muscle rigidity, instability, tremor, depression and anxiety.

The number of people living with Parkinson’s in Australia is thought to range from 84,000 to 212,000 (0.85 percent of population).

A diagnosis can occur at any age with the most common age of diagnosis being 65.

Ten percent of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s are under the age of 45.

Eighteen percent of people living with Parkinson’s are of working age i.e under 65 (this includes people diagnosed under 45).

Port Stephens has a Parkinson’s Disease Support Group, which during the month of May, will be taking part in Step Up for Parkinson's, a virtual fitness challenge

Paterson crime prevention key issue in election leadup

By Marian SAMPSON

CRIME has been a focus of the Federal Election campaigns of both the Liberal and Labor candidates for Paterson.

Liberals say a re-elected Morrison Government will provide a $1 million grant for crime deterrent measures across Port Stephens, Maitland, Rutherford, and Kurri Kurri.

This grant will be used to increase the provision of CCTV across areas of concern within the Port Stephens, Maitland, and Cessnock Local Government Areas, and create a comprehensive plan to combat anti-social behaviour, working in conjunction with local organisations.

While making the announcement, Liberal Candidate for Paterson Brooke Vitnell said the Morrison Government had responded positively to her Crime Crackdown campaign.

“This is what effective advocacy and standing up for your community looks like,” Ms Vitnell said.

“These are tangible results and I’m pleased that I took a leadership role on this issue.

“While campaigning I have been approached by residents that are concerned about an increase in local crime.

"They told me they were worried about break-ins, property damage, stolen and burntout vehicles and incidents of theft.

“I look forward to working alongside the NSW Police, Port Stephens Council, Maitland City Council and Cessnock Council to determine where these funds can be best distributed to target crime.

“And I welcome a similar role working with organisations that provide early intervention programs for at-risk youth.

“I believe mental health supports also play

Thursday, 12 May 2022

a huge role in directing teenagers away from a life of crime.

“I’m delighted that the Morrison Government has agreed that people in these communities deserve to feel safe.”

Incumbent Member for Paterson Meryl Swanson told News Of The Area, “Addressing crime is largely a matter for

the NSW Government through policing, and local government through the provision of community safety infrastructure such as CCTV. “Labor in government will support such measures through grants funding for specific projects.

“I have supported several projects put forward by councils and community

organisations in the Paterson electorate.”

Ms Swanson said it is “important to remember that crime is also a function of disadvantage”.

“Labor policies for more secure work, especially for casuals and gig economy workers, and better skills training, will contribute to a safer community,” she said.

Emergency Services Update

By Tara CAMPBELL

Winter Fire Safety THE first significant cold snap of the season is on its way thanks to a cold front that has tracked across the state.

Members from Salamander Fire and Rescue remind readers to ensure that a cold snap doesn’t lead to a mishap, offering the following advice.

Check your heaters before you use them.

If you suspect a fault, have the heater checked by a qualified repairer or replace it.

Check all cords for fraying and damage.

Plug heaters directly into wall sockets only.

Do not overload power boards and ensure everything is kept a metre from the heater.

Fire Open Day On 14 May many fire stations across the area will open their doors to invite the community to see what occurs behind the scenes, meeting firefighters, seeing trucks in

action and most importantly, understanding what local fire brigades do.

Stockton Fire Station (36 Hereford Street), Raymond Terrace Fire Station (3-5 Leisure Way) and Salamander Bay Fire Station (194 Salamander Way) will be opening their doors to the public.

Grab the family and head to your local station, and don’t forget to thank our local brigade members for their hard work.

Swallowing Inhalants The NSW Poisons Centre is receiving many calls as of recent from people who have accidentally swallowed an inhalant when meaning to take a cough mixture.

To avoid errors, the NSW Poisons Centre recommends storing inhalants and essential oils well away from other liquid medicines such as cough mixtures as the bottles can look very similar.

As well as this, inhalants

and medicines should be put away after use and kept out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

Swallowing inhalants can cause nausea, vomiting, coughing, dizziness or drowsiness.

Some people may develop ongoing breathing problems.

Children and the elderly are at greatest risk of serious effects.

Just 5ml (one teaspoonful) of a pure essential oil can make a child very unwell.

Always call the Poisons Centre on 131126 for further advice after and ingestion of an inhalant or essential oil.

“We are working with the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder to keep water levels stable and give the pelicans the best chance for breeding success.

“We’re also seeing Pelicans flock to Kieeta Lake, thanks to a four year NSW Government project to turn irrigated farmland back to a more natural state, allowing water to reach the wetlands.”

The Nari Nari Tribal Council, Kieeta Lake’s Indigenous owners, have been a key part of the success of the breeding

HERE in the Great Lakes Marine Park we tend to think of pelicans as coastal birds.

They soar above the waterways and across the sparkling waters of our rivers and bays.

Yet these prehistoric looking birds are also inhabitants of inland lakes.

More than 25,000 pelicans will soon take flight following two large pelican breeding events in inland NSW. Pelican nests have been counted at Lake Brewster in the Lachlan Valley and Kieeta Lake in the Murrumbidgee Valley, with the water birds having only been recorded nesting in Kieeta Lake once before, after the 2016 floods.

Minister for Environment James Griffin said the mega breeding event coincided with a wet year, dozens of full lakes and abundant fish stocks, creating excellent conditions for the season.

“These breeding events

SAMSE, standing for ‘Sustainable Anthropogenic Mortality in Stochastic Environments', is described in Conservation Biology, coauthored by UNSW Professor William Sherwin and adjunct lecturer Dr Oliver Manlik.

“There are already some population modelling tools available,” says lead author of the study, Dr Oliver Manlik, adjunct lecturer with UNSW Science and Assistant Professor with UAE University.

“However, it was important for us to devise a tool that also allows us to incorporate ‘stochastic’ factors – random chance events that affect wildlife populations, which are often not accounted for in conventional approaches.”

The team sought to incorporate these stochastic deaths into more conventional

Wildlife Mortality

By Marian SAMPSON

AN international team of researchers has devised a new conservation tool that estimates the upper limit of wildlife mortality that humans might sustainably inflict.

The new tool – SAMSE – has a defining quality: it accounts for random chance events that also influence the fate of wildlife populations, providing more conservative and thus more sustainable estimates than the current industry

www.newsofthearea.com.au incidents of theft from motor vehicles have risen again.

“In the last week we had twelve vehicles broken into and all of them have been unsecured,” Commander Gillies said.

“We're finding a lot of devices including phones, laptops and iPads are being left in vehicles in the view of the public and then being stolen.

“It’s really important to secure your vehicles and don’t leave items in full display so that the chances of you becoming a victim are greatly reduced,” he said.

New Recruits On Monday 2 May, the Port Stephens Hunter Police District welcomed its two newest recruits.

The policing careers of Probationary Constables Rachael Wilson and Liam Figgett-Lee officially commenced at Port StephensHunter Police District.

“Both are keen additions to our team and we look forward to their development over the coming twelve months of their probation,” Commander Chad Gillies said.

season because of important environmental water and feral pest management.

Pelicans at both sites are part of a leg-banding research project by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) and University of New South Wales, which is tracking how far the birds travel and if they return to breed at the site.

“This research provides important information that helps us understand the migration patterns and behaviors of these iconic birds.

“For example in the past, the banded birds have been spotted in northern NSW and southern Queensland,” Mr Griffin said.

While out and about it will be of assistance to the research if Port Stephens and Myall Lakes locals report any banded

pelicans which they sight.

Banded pelican sightings can be reported via peli.bands@ environment.nsw.gov.au.

One study suggests that Australian pelican populations have declined across southeastern Australia.

The study found that Australian pelicans move distances of up to 3206km, and travel across the species' entire geographic range, within a year of fledging.

modelling with the use of a case study: bottlenose dolphins affected by fisheries bycatch in the Pilbara, Western Australia.

With their SAMSE tool, the team found that the acceptable number of bottlenose dolphin deaths as bycatch was just 2.3 – 8 dolphins per year, well below the currently accepted number as determined by the conventional PBR approach: 16.2 dolphin deaths per year.

Stochastic factors that influence the rise or fall of animal populations include environmental changes that in turn affect birth and death rates, and whether a population remains stable or declines.

Such unanticipated, chance events are often ignored when assessing the impact of humancaused mortalities of wildlife.

“Wild animal populations are threatened by a range of human activities,” says Dr Manlik, “including hunting,

fisheries bycatch, collisions of birds with wind turbines.

“Such deaths can ultimately lead to the demise of whole populations and species, especially when combined with the other stochastically variable deaths and reproductive failures that happen in all populations and are now incorporated in the SAMSE model.

“For wildlife managers and policymakers, the question is: In a changing environment, how many of these killed animals is too many?

“And at what point might these deaths actually lead to a population decline and possible extinction?

“They’re important questions.

“We wanted to come up with a modelling tool that allows us to determine the maximum number of animals that can be removed from a

population without causing a population decline and possible extinction,” says Dr Manlik.

Another of the study’s authors, Prof Bill Sherwin said, “Our study shows that these stochastic factors are actually really important because they have a large effect on the fate of wild animals.”

The authors of the study also specified a sustainable limit of wildlife mortalities, which they called the ‘SAMSElimit’, defined as the maximum number of individuals that can be taken from a population without causing a population decline in a changing environment.

“With Prof Bob Lacy, a co-author from the Species Conservation Toolkit Initiative, we will create an app that makes SAMSE easily accessible to researchers and wildlife managers worldwide,” added Dr Manlik.

THE YORKSHIRE VET

7TWO, 7.30pm

The green pastures and hay meadows of Yorkshire are a sight to behold, but it’s the friendship and camaraderie between vets Julian Norton (above) and Peter Wright that offers the real feel-good viewing. The animals and their stories are the icing on the cake. Tonight, season 11 of the family-friendly series premieres, and it’s not without its unique countryside challenges, many of whom are the furry kind. Julian heads to an emergency at Jackie’s alpaca farm, where a new mum urgently needs his help and Peter returns to the Greens’ farm.

Creativity is the name of the game in this lively competition hosted by comedian Hamish Blake (right), and tonight it pays for the teams to have their heads in the clouds. With an elimination looming at the end of the episode, the teams are given a LEGO cloud and challenged to build something amazing to live on it. With 14 hours on the clock to whip up their creations, it’s much more than an average day’s work – but for these teams it’s a dream come true. After all, most of them dedicate hours on a normal day at home to LEGO. The Brick Pit is the place where inspiration sprouts, but with around 4.4 million types of bricks to choose from, the players are spoilt for choice.

MATT WRIGHT’S WILD TERRITORY

NBN, 8.30pm

He’s a modernday Crocodile Dundee, but he’s no work of fiction.

What’s more, he’s a family man with an adorable young son, Banjo, and photogenic wife, Kaia. Meet Matt Wright (above), a croc hunter, conservationist and all-round top bloke who is on hand to help and rescue anyone in dire straits. Wright lives a life most of us can only imagine in the remote and beautiful Northern Territory and after starring in Outback Wrangler, viewers’ taste for his exotic, actionpacked existence was whet. Tonight, in “Don’t Hold Back”, a romantic fishing adventure is spoiled when Matt makes a dangerous detour, and of course there’s a wild croc chase to boot.

Fingal Probus Club Learns Nelson Bay Croquet Club CROQUET About Port Stephens Koala Hospital

q Finalists Peter Gordon (Nelson Bay) and Warwick Nassif (Warrawee).

By David WILSON

By Marian SAMPSON

WITH a new committee recently installed, the Fingal Probus Club’s April monthly meeting was one to remember.

Julia Redlich of the Probus Club told News Of The Area, “New member Wendy Cox was inducted

by President Rex Sneyd, then after reports, future planning and dates confirmed, it was morning tea time, enhanced with Easter treats thanks to Sue Watson and Edith Sneyd.”

The club welcomed guest speaker Sharon Egan

from the Port Stephens Koala Hospital to the meeting.

Sharon gave an inspiring report about the work done by the volunteers who care for the koalas who inhabit our district.

Probus Club members learned of the demands of the Koala Hospital's patients, their diets, and the need for swift attention to dehydration and infections.

Sharon outlined how reducing the loss of koala habitat is of such importance for the species’ survival.

“Question time brought so many comments and members were impressed with Sharon’s talk, with no notes and an obvious love for her subject.

“There are many ways to

help the Port Stephens Koala Hospital including through donations and volunteering.

“Many members swooped happily on the many gifts available after the meeting closed - after all who can resist a fluffy koala?” said Julia.

The Fingal Bay Probus Club meets at 9.30am on the second Monday of each month at the Fingal Bay Sports Club, 100 Rocky Point Road, Fingal Bay. New members and visitors are welcome to learn about Probus and the club’s activities that include wine and dine events, movies, day trips, and barbecues.

Stephen Gilchrist and Greg Mungoven were up against Mark Walkden and Jim Healey in the final, both of these teams having already outclassed other club pairs teams in the lead up rounds.

Both teams' skills were evident from the very commencement of the game.

The knowledgeable crowd of spectators at the club were constantly amazed by both the brutality and the subtlety of the bowls played and the ability of the four players to switch from one

style to the other in a single head.

At the end of 21 ends, Mark and Jim came out on top and were declared the Karuah Club Pairs Champions.

As is so often the case in highly skilled sportsmen, great sportsmanship and mutual respect for their opposition was always on display.

While the petty resentment of a winner by a loser will sometimes be seen in lesser players, in Saturday's final both teams encouraged each other and

Onions and Championships at Karuah Bowls

IT’S often been said that the game of lawn bowls is a bit like an onion.

Every time you think that you understand it, you realise that there is another layer of complexity underneath the one that you understand that you hadn’t yet seen.

with

Jasminda Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au DEAR Jasminda, I recently inherited my grandmother's fur coat.

It is a beautiful item, but I can't imagine wearing it for ethical reasons. I also don't want to sell it because of the sentimental value.

It seems a waste to just leave it hanging in the cupboard.

What should I do?

WINTER OR SPRING?

Should I wait until Spring to list my property for sale?

IT’S a great question and very timely at present. Should home sellers list now or wait until spring?

Tradition dictates that spring is the ultimate selling season. After all, the days are usually sunny, the skies are blue and gardens are abundant with flowers.

Consider this though; Winter can also be a great time to list and this seems to be an evolving trend. With the milder winters that we have been experiencing, people are still out seeking property.

The advantage for you as a seller is that you will be avoiding the property glut of spring. A lot of potential sellers are currently preparing their homes for a spring listing. This is great, but there will be a lot of competition for them when the time comes.

So seriously consider being the early bird this winter and attract that house hunting worm.

Tree Moratorium

By Tara CAMPBELL FOLLOWING a notice of motion moved on 22 March 2022, Port Stephens Council has provided information regarding the tree moratorium.

Councillor Arnott moved the motion to better inform the community, requesting information regarding how many trees have been removed and reported after Council’s changes to tree removal practices, amending the policy to allow for dangerous trees to be removed without the need

By Marian SAMPSON

WORKERS rely on their super for retirement and some younger workers are able to access voluntary contributions to get into the housing market.

However a government report has found that loose laws and ‘light touch’ compliance is costing Australians billions in unpaid super.

The Australian National Audit Office found the Australian Tax Office’s (ATO) reluctance to ‘proactively’ investigate unpaid super claims has led to it collecting just fifteen percent of what Australian workers are owed, with the onus instead being placed on workers to make reports.

Industry Super Australia (ISA) estimates that unpaid super has climbed to $5 billion a year.

ISA are calling on politicians to address the issue at its source and commit to mandating that super is paid with wages, rather than the legislated four times a year now.

The Audit Office Report found the tax office failed to use all its collection powers, does not have enough resources to proactively hunt those ripping workers off or utilise real time data, and may have been acting illegally when it gave almost all employers a free pass.

From 2015 to 2017 the ATO ran a practical amnesty where it would not fine employers who admitted they had underpaid super to staff and had made some restitution.

This ‘light touch’ approach to compliance was stopped when it was found it could be an illegal use of the ATO’s powers.

The audit office recommended the ATO use a bottom-up approach also used by ISA and which indicates an actual annual unpaid super bill of $5 billion – almost double the ATO’s $2.9 billion estimate.

Industry Super Australia Chief Executive Bernie Dean said, “It's yet another government

for approval from Council.

Brock Lamont, Port Stephens Council Strategy and Environment Section Manager, provided information regarding the amendment.

“The most recent Council data shows that between July 2021 and March 2022 (from which date all applications were recorded electronically), Council has received a total of 182 tree removal notifications.

“Council staff assessed all tree removal notifications against the DCP 2014 provisions and found that 59 tree removal notifications

12 PORT STEPHENS NEWS OF THE AREA

complied with the notification requirements, resulting in the removal of 75 trees,” Mr Lamont said.

The remaining 123 noncompliant tree removal notifications were transferred to the tree permit process and included the removal of 146 trees and the planting of 181 replacement trees.

Mr Lamont stated that 38 trees were refused for removal with reasons including high ecological value or no risk to life or property.

Other trees were rejected due to their dead or dying

Dear Matilda,

report showing how ordinary workers are missing out on billions of dollars they've earned because of old-fashioned laws and no effective enforcement.

“Along with our federal politicians who could easily fix this problem at its source, the ATO needs to do better than just recovering a dismal fifteen percent of the unpaid super bill each year.

“It is little wonder the regulator performs so badly considering the auditor general’s finding that the ATO does little proactive enforcement, instead relying on workers to make a report and do all the heavy lifting.

“Labor's commitment to beef up ATO compliance and make it easier for workers to recover unpaid super is a step in the right direction, but it won't amount to much until they go to the next step to require employers to pay super with workers' wages - just like all federal politicians get,” he said.

From 1 July 2017, voluntary concessional (before-tax) and voluntary non-concessional (after-tax) contributions can be paid into your super fund to save for your first home.

You will also receive an amount of earnings that relate to those contributions.

You can currently apply to have a maximum of $15,000 of your voluntary contributions from any one financial year included in your eligible contributions to be released under the first home super saver scheme (FHSS), up to a total of $30,000 contributions across all years.

You will also receive an amount of earnings that relate to those contributions.

From 1 July 2022, the amount of eligible contributions that can count towards your maximum releasable amount across all years will increase from $30,000 to $50,000.

status, however they were still considered to be required for habitat due to the presence of nests or hollows.

“During this time, Council did not receive any notifications of removal on account of immediate failure, while eleven trees are known to have been removed with no notification or permit.

“These eleven incidents have been placed on Council’s breaches register and compliance actions were undertaken by staff,” Mr Lamont said.

Your grandmother sounds as though she was a stylish woman and no doubt came from an era where the ethical issues of fur coats were perhaps not as well researched.

Either that or she was a sociopath who enjoyed the idea of wrapping herself in the skin of slaughtered animals.

Regardless, you are stuck with an item that is impractical and, as you say, leads to an ethical dilemma.

In this situation, I can only suggest taking the path that doesn't cause any further harm.

I remember a friend having the same issue.

She kept her coat in a box in the top of her wardrobe.

Unfortunately, a rabble of rats (which may be the most adorable, alliterative collective noun in existence) nested in it, so it ended up as a rat-infested bin item.

If you currently wear other animal by-products (leather, for example), it could be argued that this is no different.

The coat is already in existence and the 300 chinchillas, 250 squirrels, 60 minks or 40 foxes it took to make it are already dead, so you can't cause them any further harm.

Having researched this a little further, there are organisations that accept fur coat donations that are then repurposed to provide warmth and comfort to orphaned animals.

This seems to be a way to keep the memory of your grandmother alive for all the right reasons, while perhaps sustaining the life of other animals and offering them a better fate than those that went into the coat.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

The amount of eligible contributions that can count towards your FHSS maximum releasable amount for each financial year will remain at $15,000.

Anita Marshall of Port Stephens Advanced Finance Solutions said, “I would like to see super being allowed to use for the deposit or funds to complete on a home but not until clients can prove they have responsible savings patterns and credit history.”
