Terrace Lions support Friends With Dignity

By Marian SAMPSON

LIONS often hear from community groups that are seeking support or simply to improve their profile in the community.

The Raymond Terrace Lions Club recently heard from a representative from Friends with Dignity, an organisation which supports victims of domestic violence.

Raymond Terrace has a very high prevalence of domestic violence with NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research reporting a surge of 59.6% in domestic

Neil Goldworth of the Lions Club of Raymond Terrace told News Of The Area, “In attendance were 26 members of the Raymond Terrace Lions Club along with Lion President Kate Moore and Catherine Woodvine the Community Engagement Officer for NSW. “The valuable purpose, dignity and hope that Friends with Dignity provide for victims of domestic violence to rebuild their lives was highlighted.”

Catherine Woodbine from Friends With Dignity generated a lot of discussion about domestic violence and the organisation's approach to calmly and quietly preparing accommodation for people in need.

“Many families need help in rebuilding their lives in a comfortable and safe place,” she said.

“The Lions, in their efforts to serve, provided Friends With Dignity a donation.

“Any community help is appreciated for such a valuable unpaid service to those in need,” said Lion’s President Kate Moore.

Catherine Woodvine with help from Lions and President Kate Moore visited Big W to purchase toasters, electric jugs, pillows and kitchen appliances with the donation.

“It was indeed a struggle with four trollies needed and Catherine was elated as so many places could now be stocked with essential equipment for families,” said Mr Goldthorpe.

Easing of COVID-19 restrictions allows dancing and more FROM Page 1 visitors in the home, 200 people allowed for personal outdoor public gatherings, all venues to move to the one person per two square metre rule, 100% seated capacity at entertainment venues (including stadiums and theatres) and mask use on public transport will move from mandatory to strongly recommended.

The easing of these restrictions allows many businesses that accommodate live entertainment to return to the live music venues many know and love.

In the Port Stephens region, many businesses and venues have tried their

hardest to keep the live music sector of the industry thriving but it has been a challenging time.

Tracey Aria, Secretary Manager of the Stockton Bowling Club told News Of The Area, “We have been supporting our local musicians as best we can, and it’s wonderful that they are now able to perform without restrictions.

“To ask people not to dance has been extremely hard for my staff as a lot of patrons couldn’t understand why, so to say we are happy that dancing is back is an understatement.”

Some venues have only existed in COVID-19 times, and have never actually gotten the opportunity for

patrons to fully experience live music.

“We are really excited about the next lift in restrictions to allow dancing.

“Medowie Social has only been here a short time, all of which has involved seating so we are incredibly excited to bring more music and more fun into town,” Charlie Way, General Manager of Medowie Social said.

With the lift in restrictions, patrons are still encouraged to social distance as much as possible, but visitors are being encouraged to support the live music acts that will be performing at various clubs, pubs and venues around the Port Stephens’ region.

Never has this been more visible, we have our doctors and scientists stepping up to fight COVID-19.

As the late Sir Tom Moore

of the United Kingdom has shown us we are all able to step out and make a difference if we care to.

centred support services to country children diagnosed with cancer and other life threatening illnesses In Anna Bay the Pig Races have been held at the local pub which is very much the community hub.

Darren James told News Of The Area, “We are in a rally to raise money for Country Hope who look after sick children and their families in times of need in the Riverina and surrounding areas.”

The Riverina Redneck rally is their main fundraising effort each year.

“We have raised over $30,000 dollars this year alone thanks to private sponsors and the Port Stephens community.” $12,835 was successfully raised at the third annual Country Hope Pig Races with the local Anna Bay Tavern Social Golf Club contributing $2,700, which came from the weekly meat raffles and the club’s winnings from the the last pig race.

“To Belly and his mates, a big thank you from our team The Coasties,” Mr James said.

The final tally shows the local crew have raised over $380,000 for Country Hope this year alone.

That’s really stepping up and making change for those in need.

Education On ANZAC Day Free For All

By Marian SAMPSON

SCHOOLS throughout Australia are about to gain valuable resources to help our children learn about the legacy of those who have served as ANZACs. New resources are being supplied free to educational institutions and include a range of different learning materials.

These resources can also be accessed by members of the public.

The addition of oral histories where students can learn about war from those who have served in their own words.

The Department of Defence tells us that, “The resource will

help students to gain a deeper understanding of Australian military history through firsthand accounts.”

Interviews in this series focus on veterans' views on ANZAC Day. The resources available include over 100 biographies.

Port Stephens has a rich military history starting with colonialism and having played a vital role in the defence of Australia during WWII. Naval Ships were at anchor off Jimmys Beach, while Shoal Bay beach was the site of amphibious landings.

Ruben’s plea for help

By Marian SAMPSON

MEDOWIE is home to a special family that are in need of the community’s support.

Ruben, who attends Wirreanda Public School, is a beautiful nine year old miracle boy, who surprised his family by arriving nine weeks early, and he is continuing to surprise them.

Ruben was diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy just before the age of two.

Due to damage to Ruben’s brain, the muscles in Ruben’s

legs are tight, causing him to walk up on his toes, which makes some everyday tasks difficult.

Ruben’s mum, Lyndell Phillips, told News Of The Area, “Over the past few years we have been treating the spasticity in Ruben’s legs with botox injections and serial casting.”

This relaxes the muscles and then stretches them through the casting.

Yes, ladies and gents, botox has more uses than those that help stem the tide of age and it is used extensively for those suffering from cerebral palsy.

“We get a small window where Ruben can walk with

his heels on the ground which improves his balance and gait - but it wears off quickly and we start all over again!”

The family is applying for life changing Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy Surgery in Boston, United States.

A neurosurgeon will separate the nerve roots into groups, finding those that bring sensation back from the legs and leaving the motor nerves aside.

The operation releases tone in the muscles, initially this can expose underlying weakness that has been masked by the spasticity.

Intensive rehabilitation is required post operation.

Without this surgery, there is a chance that Ruben will decline as he gets older

located at the inner light.

20,000 American and Australian soldiers were storming the beaches of Port Stephens as part of their training during WWII. The Tomaree and Shoal Bay area was the first combined operations Australia/United States Amphibious Landing Training Establishment in the south-west Pacific theatre.

Landings under simulated invasion conditions were held as he battles against the spasticity, he may require a walking frame or wheelchair.

While Australia has some of the best healthcare in the world, this operation is not available here.

This operation will be selffunded, with the operation itself expected to cost $60,000 USD, with the family needing to fund the operation, travel and rehabilitation costs while spending around four weeks in the States.

“As his parents we think he is perfect just the way he is - but we want to make his daily life that little bit easier!” she said.

You can support Ruben’s family to fund the surgery by supporting his Go Fund Me campaign.

has used the Stockton dunes for training over the years and occasionally unexploded ordnance is found on the dunes.

Locals today can still see the tank traps on the beach used to defend against a Japanese invasion, with Newcastle Harbour attacked by a Japanese Submarine at the southern end of Stockton Beach on June 8, 1942.

Today we see the names of the ANZACS on the memorials in our towns, we see our returned service men and women standing tall on ANZAC Day. Knowing that we care is important, in 2020 with COVID-19 Australians came out in force and stood at their driveways to stand with our returned service men and women.

Learning about the sacrifice those who serve make and what war means is an important lesson in nationalism for all Australians.

ANZAC Day will be commemorated across the nation at memorials once again on 25 April.

It is hoped that access to the new resources will engage our youth in the meaning of ANZAC Day and the sacrifice made by so many to secure the lives we live in this country today.

Port Stephens FM honour long term friend

By Doug CONNOR ON April 1 2021, Port Stephens FM will pay tribute to longterm listener Betty McTackett through the installation of a plaque on the door of the station’s Studio A. Prior to Betty’s passing in December 2020, she had a close to 20-year relationship with the station, first as a listener and regular caller, and later as a member and a firm friend to all.

Port Stephens FM President Paddy Twohill, said he is proud to be able to honour Betty’s memory in this way.

He recalls fondly the friendship he and many of his colleagues enjoyed with the delightful Betty over the years.

“We first connected in the early 2000’s, when she found out about our station, and thought ‘you beauty, I like listening to them’.”

“She would ring the presenters up every day, not only to talk to but to have a real conversation as she was a great listener as well.

“I think all of the presenters found her very engaging,” Paddy said.

Aside from her penchant for a chat, Betty had an insatiable passion for music.

“She loved music very, very deeply, she was a real music lover,” Paddy said.

“Music was her connection to the world and she saw music as a gift from heaven.”

Over the years, the station's presenters benefited from Betty’s kindness, compassion and her sense of humour.

At Betty’s funeral it was said that when Betty was around seven years old, she took great delight in giving supplies and water to soldiers stationed on her property during WW2.

Through her interactions with the station, it is clear this caring quality continued throughout her life.

“She would ask you things about your life, and about your

family,” said Paddy.

“She would remember if you had been low the previous week, and check if you were feeling better.

“She really cared for everyone,” he said.

The plaque, which will

be hung on April 1 to mark the 28tth anniversary of the station, reads, ‘This studio is dedicated to the memory of Betty McTackett. Music lover, avid listener, dedicated supporter and friend to all of us here at Port Stephens FM.

Music comes from heaven.’

The plaque will be set on a pink background, as a tribute to the colour of her hair that Betty, as a hairdresser by trade, wore until her passing at 86 years old.

courageous efforts in the face of fires, dangerous boating and vehicle incidents, and flood waters.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller APM, said he was proud to see so many officers recognised for their selfless and courageous actions.

“The reality is that police face many dangerous scenarios every shift they work, and they will do everything they can to protect the lives of the people of NSW. “In the face of extreme challenges, these officers displayed bravery and are worthy recipients of the awards and commendations today,” Commissioner Fuller said.

The Governor-General,

His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd) awarded a total of 111 Australians with bravery decorations, including the 24 NSW Police Force officers.

Climate Change Increases Flood Events

By Marian SAMPSON

FLOOD DISASTERS, such as those currently unfolding in New South Wales and parts of Southern Queensland, are made more likely by climate change, say experts from the Climate Council.

“The intense rainfall and

floods that have devastated NSW communities are taking place in an atmosphere made warmer and wetter by climate change, which is driven by the burning of coal, oil, and gas,” said Climate Council spokesperson Professor Will Steffen.

“For many communities

dealing with floods right now, this is the latest in a line of climate change-exacerbated extreme weather events they have faced, including drought, the Black Summer bushfires, and scorching heatwaves,” he added.

Global temperatures have risen 1.1°C since pre-

industrial levels, and this has led to a 7 percent increase in water vapour in the a t m o s p h e re — i n c re a s i n g the likelihood of extreme downpours.

in economic losses, and damaging many of our unique ecosystems.

“It’s time for all levels of government and businesses to step up their climate action efforts to protect people, our environment and the economy,” said Professor Steffen.

“We must take decisive action this decade to bring climate change under control.

“Australia must get to net zero emissions well before 2040, and accelerate efforts to shift away from coal and gas to a fully renewables-powered economy,” he said.

Former Emergency Services Chiefs have also warned that climate change is worsening extreme rainfall and flood events such as the current situation in NSW and QLD, putting immense pressure on emergency response services and communities.

“In my 40-year career I have never seen rainfall and flooding as widespread as the events occurring across much of NSW and QLD,” said Jim Smith, former acting Commissioner, NSW State Emergency Services and Emergency Leaders for Climate Action (ELCA) member.

NSW Land Registry Services (NSW LRS) will make title searches, replacement Certificates of Title and plan images free for property owners affected by flooding in NSW. Property searches and plans can assist landholders with insurance claims and development applications to council, as well as provide peace of mind regarding land ownership in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Adam Bennett, NSW Land Registry Services CEO, said having fast and free access to land titles could help bring peace of mind to affected

property owners when the clean-up starts.

“We are seeing widespread flood damage to properties across NSW, our team are here to help property owners to access their lost or damaged land titles for free.

“NSW Land Registry Services encourage affected landowners to contact our team so we can do what we can to provide titling support as they start to rebuild their lives, homes and properties.”

increasing the intensity and severity of extreme rainfall and flood events, and we are seeing the devastating consequences of this on people’s safety, homes, and livelihoods,” he said.

“It has long been the norm for states to help each other by sending personnel and resources across borders during emergencies, but the simultaneous extreme flooding in NSW and QLD shows how climate change threatens this practice,” said Mr Smith.

Major General (Retd) Peter Dunn, former Commissioner, ACT Emergency Services Authority, added, “The Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements outlined 80 recommendations to improve Australia’s disaster response and preparedness, but the Federal Government has shown resistance at fully accepting and implementing all 80 of the recommendations.

“Australians are on the frontline of back-to-back extreme weather events fuelled by climate change, and cannot afford the growing costs of inaction,” said Mr Dunn.

Those impacted by the recent flood event may be eligible for government assistance, you can find out more at www. servicesaustralia.gov.au.

Rainfall disaster response recognised ON Tuesday March 23, Port Stephens Council tonight moved an urgent motion to acknowledge the ongoing severe weather event affecting NSW, which has been declared a natural disaster for the region.

Mayor Ryan Palmer expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in the emergency response.

“We received a record rainfall across Port Stephens since late last week and the impacts on our roads and across our community are significant.

“On behalf of all councillors and the whole community, I want to thank our wonderful staff for all their hard work across the week.

“They’ve worked day and night to ensure the safety of our locals by getting our roads and infrastructure up to the best standards despite the conditions.”

Mayor Palmer also recognised all the other agencies involved.

“Congratulations and sincerest thanks to our incredible emergency services, especially the SES, and all the

Mambo Culvert Concerns

By Marian SAMPSON

FORESHORE Drive has become the focal point of the storm damage in Port Stephens, with images of the washed out culvert appearing on capital city television news.

EcoNetwork Port Stephens, a communitybased environmental and sustainability network, have called for a thorough review of Foreshore Drive’s infrastructure and adjoining wetlands.

“Such a review is critical to ensuring that wetlands’ long-term health, as well as public safety, are not further compromised by future impacts,” said EcoNetwork President Iain Watt.

Mr Watt believes a review will show how the poor ecological state of the Mambo Wetlands and adjoining mangroves can be restored to health.

“The study must include extensive community consultation,” he said.

It is understood that Council has already prepared an environmental impact statement for the replacement of the culvert.

“In 2019 Port Stephens Councillors unanimously voted to replace the culvert and install speed humps, signage and a bicycle pathway.

“Foreshore Drive was closed to traffic for several months during construction, yet no work was done to improve the culvert, the most dangerous part of Foreshore Drive.

“So, of course with the first serious weather event – a super storm cell – the culvert has been completely destroyed.”

Mr Watt said that a number of alternative solutions are available.

“Whether or not the road

is restored, there are sound ecological solutions that can be applied to improve management of the area and reduce flooding in the residential areas.

“For example, several drainage points between the Mambo wetland and the mangrove/open sea areas could be opened, thereby better linking the wetland with the estuary (and Port Stephens Great Lakes sanctuary zone), with reduced risk of flooding.

“It should be remembered this is very low-lying ground and will always be subject to inundation.

“This will also allow clean water to reach and drain the inland area of the wetland, which will help clear blocked internal drainage systems and lead to improved wetland health.”

Mr Watt said improving the health of the wetlands will reduce flood risk in the area.

others supporting the response and recovery effort across Port Stephens.”

Mayor Palmer called for the community’s patience during the recovery phase.

“There’s still a lot of work to go to get back to normality and I ask for the community’s support as we plan our recovery.

Tuesday's motion also encouraged locals and businesses affected by the weather event to make use of the support being offered by the Commonwealth Government.

“We were just hitting our stride in our recovery from COVID-19 and this has been a real setback for many locals and businesses,” Mayor Palmer said.

“Hopefully this afternoon’s sunshine sticks around and we can start to once again work together to rebuild an even stronger Port Stephens."

Disaster assistance is available for Port Stephens residents for storms and floods that occurred from 10 March 2021. For more information, call 180 22 66 or visit the Services Australia website.

THE REPLACEMENT

7TWO, 8.30pm

If you missed the premiere episode last week, it’s time to catch up. With only three high-strung, riveting episodes to gorge on, it’ll be a well-spent three hours that leave you pining for more. Set in Glasgow, this smart yet mirthfully sinister melodrama stars two excellent leads. Tonight, the screws become even looser as post-baby Ellen (Morven Christie, pictured left) returns to work, intent on uncovering the truth about her “replacement”, Paula (Vicky McClure, pictured right). A juicy showdown awaits.

A saving grace for fans of Offspring and Love Child, this charming and surprising series stars Kate Jenkinson (pictured) as midwife Grace, who is a tremendous advocate and friend to the mothers-to-be in her care, but doesn’t have a worklife balance to speak of. Like her childbirth drama contemporaries Nina Proudman and Joan Millar, a complicated family tree and fraught personal relationships are at the heart of Grace’s life – namely those with obstetrician mum Diane (Sigrid Thornton) and Sophia (Alexandra Jensen), the daughter she placed for adoption 17 years ago. Tonight, Grace is in for a tough ride when her exhusband’s new partner goes into labour.

DEAR Jasminda,

PANTRY PEEKERS “I saw your recent Instagram post where you suggested that a tidy pantry is essential when selling because buyers peek in pantries!

Is that really a ‘thing’?”

FIRSTLY, thanks for checking in to randrproperty on Instagram! I hope you’re enjoying keeping up with our listings, sales and community activities. And yes, pantry peeking is definitely a ‘thing’. While keeping your entire home clean and tidy throughout the sales period is essential, often forgotten is what lies behind cupboard doors and buyers will look, generally to see how the space is configured – but also to sticky beak. It is regularly said that kitchens sell homes; storage being a key component, so clean, organized cupboards including the pantry – the heart of every meal – creates a sense of space and calm. Messy packets spilling and bottles oozing onto shelves not only creates a sense of chaos they are also a foundation for mice and rats. Opening a cupboard door to be greeted by chaos and worse - mouse droppings - is a major turn off for buyers. Pantries don’t have to be filled with expensive products, it’s not about status, it’s about care for a home a vendor is seeking to sell. With a neat and tidy pantry you can smile knowing you have the pantry peeker’s seal of approval!

DEAR News Of The Area,

NOW, with the finer weather, would be good timing for all the hierarchy of the Port Stephens Council to pick up their chairs, and for a day, or maybe a week, relocate to the area of the roundabout at the intersection of Port Stephens Drive and Salamander Way and also along the road towards the Shopping Centre.

The streams of vehicles that are continually approaching the roundabout from all directions will eventually result in collisions.

This problem will continue until other flood damaged roads are repaired.

up with a solution, to avoid the possibility of another tragedy in this area.

Installation of Temporary Traffic Lights should be considered at the Roundabout.

The Council also needs to do an afternoon survey at the Bus Stops (3), on the westward bound bus route, when school children alight from the busses and scramble through the line of traffic so as to reach the other side where their homes are located.

Marked pedestrian crossings, together with Temporary flashing Amber lights should be located at each Bus Stop.

Miss Wendy P. Dear Miss Wendy, I am having trouble imagining a Miss Wendy saying anything offensive.

The name reminds me of that lovely lady from Romper Room, although I think that was Miss Kim. We shouldn't let names confuse us, however.

I do believe Miss Kim swore like a trooper and chain smoked once the cameras stopped rolling.

I mean, who wouldn't after years of trying to get kids to balance bags of rice on their heads or having to listen to that repulsive milk slurping noise when they had their refreshments.

Holy sugar.

Back to your question.

I think, like most things, swear words in moderation can be used to great effect.

There are some situations where a well-placed swear word is absolutely necessary to get the intended meaning across.

If you were snorkelling at Fly Point and a dark shadow approached that had a distinctive shark shape, you possibly wouldn't be saying 'oh darn', into your snorkel.

This would sound like 'glop dlop' to the shark anyway, due to the effect of speaking through a tube underwater.

Instead, what he'd more likely hear would be 'hoblo flug, whobla flugging hlop.'

He wouldn't understand that either, so you'd probably still get eaten, but at least you'd feel the momentary release that well-placed swearing offers.

On the other hand, people who feel the need to litter every sentence with swear words are just lazy and disingenuous.

Some songs and movies would only be half their current length if they took out all the expletives.

These words become so commonplace that they no longer have any impact.

It's a bit like tattoos.

A few strategic, meaningful ones are interesting, but when entire bodies are tattooed there is no delineation and therefore no impact.

So, is the word bullsh-t offensive?

I guess we will find out when this Jasminda column either does or does not appear in this week's paper.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Medowie couple take on World’s Greatest Shave

By Doug CONNOR

10 YEARS ago, Medowie resident Ann Byron shaved her head in support of the Leukaemia Foundation, after a student at the school she worked at passed away from blood cancer.

This year she is at it again, taking on her second World’s Greatest Shave, this time inspired by her own family.

“I shaved my head ten years ago because I lost one of my students, and I was working at the school at the time.

“Now I have a cousin whose son has been diagnosed with Leukaemia, and I thought it was about time I did it again,” Ann said.

47 Australians are diagnosed with blood cancer every single day.

Funds raised through

World’s Greatest Shave help families facing blood cancer meet costs like putting food on the table, covering rent or paying bills.

After a few short weeks of fundraising, Ann has raised $2,650.80 of her $3000 goal.

“I have just been asking people for donations, and when I had my head shaved I had some friends around to watch.”

Ann states on her fundraising page, “Please sponsor me to give families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need.

“You'll also fund vital research to help more people survive blood cancers, while improving their quality of life.”

On the day of the shave, Ann’s fundraising efforts were given a boost when guests at her home suggested they would donate more if Ann’s husband Patrick were to undergo the razor as well.

With the shave completed on Sunday March 14 by Michelle from Sylvan Hair Boutique, the married couple enter the colder months of Autumn with a little less

of Fingal Bay Probus Club members.

“Two regular barbecues in the past few weeks were washed out, but were easily transferred to homes with veranda cover against clouds or rooms with a view to wellwatered gardens.”

Traditional steak, sausage and salads feasting was done a little differently which she believes just adds to the fun

and friendship.

Being part of a socially active group is important as connection to the community assists in developing better mental health.

This is particularly important for older residents who are not connected with other people through workplaces as they were during their working career.

VIEW Club welcomes new Patron

By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens has a very active VIEW Club.

These active women work to support the Voice, Interests and Education of Women.

Locally that means that the group sponsors girls in Australia to have better educational outcomes.

VIEW Clubs of Australia (VIEW) is delighted to announce Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley as the organisation’s first ever Patron.

As a passionate advocate for children’s education, and with close ties to communities across Australia as the wife of the Governor-General, Mrs Hurley is the perfect fit to represent the organisation.

She joins 15,000 members who give tirelessly in their local communities to support young Australians in need.

VIEW, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2020, is a national women's volunteer organisation.

More than 300 VIEW clubs across Australia provide members with the opportunity to connect with others in the community, establish lasting friendships and help Australian children

experiencing disadvantage through supporting the work of children’s education charity, The Smith Family.

The Smith Family is a national children’s education charity helping young Australians in need to succeed at school, so they can create better futures for themselves.

Rotary Centenary Project Closing The Gap

By Marian SAMPSON

THIS year Rotary is celebrating its centenary.

Rotary clubs throughout Australia will not only be celebrating this milestone but will exercise the opportunity to further contribute to their communities and provide help to those in need.

Helen Ryan past District Governor of Rotary told News Of The Area, “Here in the Bay the Rotary clubs of Nelson Bay and Salamander Bay will be acknowledging the centenary by partnering with the Port Stephens Council to supply one hundred trees to be planted by local Public-School children around the Tom Dyer Oval in Nelson Bay. “In addition, the clubs will be holding a fund-raising raffle the proceeds of which through Rotary Australia will

go to the Australian Trachoma Alliance which is a network of organizations including the World Health Organization, Australian Governments, and Indigenous authorities in their endeavour to specifically eliminate Trachoma here in Australia.”

Trachoma is a serious eye infection which is spread by personal contact (hands, towels and clothes) and if not treated can lead to permanent blindness.

Australia is the only developed nation in the world that has trachoma.

Addressing Trachoma is an important initiative which will also address closing the gap for Indigenous Australians.

Throughout Australia the infection is identified as prevalent in a number of remote Aboriginal communities.

It is Rotary Australia’s objective to supply individual hygiene kits and education to affected regions throughout Australia so as to completely eliminate the disease.

To raise funds to assemble the health and hygiene kits Rotary are holding a raffle in the Salamander Centre over four consecutive days (29 March – 1 April).

The raffle will consist of a wheelbarrow full of goods and services supplied by a large number of local businesses with the value of the one only prize is now expected to exceed $2000.00.

“Rotary wishes to sincerely thank the local business houses for their generosity, and at the same time invite the Tomaree community to help Rotary help others by buying a ticket or two in the Trachoma Raffle, which will be drawn on

Let’s Love Water

By Marian SAMPSON

SAVING water is more important now more than ever.

Yes, even after a deluge we know that Australia will eventually be faced with drought once more and every drop saved today is a drop in the bucket of a sustainable future.

Learning lessons around sustainability and saving water can be somewhat dull however Hunter Water have developed a series of colourful workshops for schools and kindergartens.

Kids can enjoy popping balloons and bopping along to catchy tunes in a fun, colourful and interactive way, spreading the value of water to schools across the region.

The ‘Let’s Love Water’ program, which is being coordinated by Hunter Water in partnership with local talent group Jollybops Science for the first time, highlights simple ways to save the precious resource

event.

Competing in a field of seven athletes, including the U18's, Cody came first in the Men U17 100m, Men U17 Shot Put, Men U17 110m Hurdles, Men U17 Discus, Men U17 Javelin and Men U17 High Jump.

Deidre Hall, of the Raymond Terrace Athletics Centre, said the club is incredibly proud of Cody’s achievements despite a challenging year for athletes.

10 April.”

Just last year, the World Health Organization announced there had been a 91 per cent reduction in trachoma prevalence over the past 18 years – a sign of significant progress.

The Fred Hollows Foundation adopts the World Health Organization’s SAFE strategy (surgery, antibiotics,

facial cleanliness and environmental change) in tackling this painful disease.

The Foundation has always taken Fred’s approach of involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the health programs that affect them, because they know their communities best.

We are also proud that community organisations

such as Rotary, with whom we have a longstanding history, are supporting efforts to eliminate trachoma.

We believe trachoma can be eliminated as a public health problem if we focus our efforts and work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

each day.

The 40-minute performance, designed for students from preschool to Year 2, is easily incorporated into the Early Years Learning

Framework and links to NSW syllabus outcomes.

Jollybops Science Director and Performer, Trevor Atkinson, said the show’s characters, Professor Puddle and Eddy the Aquabot, as well as music and science demonstrations, were key to engaging the students.

“It was a process of really visualising kids’ responses to ideas that we had for the show.

“So, we thought about some fun experiments, songs and pantomimes that would get them excited and involved, therefore remembering the water saving messages from Hunter Water.

“The response has been great so far.

“The staff are always smiling and we have no problem keeping the kids’ attention in the preschool and infant shows.

“The most important messages are getting clearer and stronger each show we perform, which is the main idea,” said Mr Atkinson.

The ‘Let’s Love Water’ show includes simple tips like having four-minute showers, turning off the tap when brushing your teeth, and sweeping hard surfaces.

It comes after a successful 15-year partnership between Hunter Water and Ship ‘O Fools, the creative agency that brought a ‘Bubbles and Supa Squirt’ production to thousands of Lower Hunter school students.

Hunter Water Education Coordinator, Jessica Crow, thanked Ship ‘O Fools for its dedication over the years while expressing excitement at a fresh approach.

“We encourage any Lower Hunter schools that may be interested in featuring this free show to contact us,” said Ms Crow.
