Second man arrested for Stockton shooting murder FROM Page 1

emergency services were called to a home on Queen Street, Stockton, following reports of a shooting. A 61-year-old woman answered her front door before she was shot; she died at the scene and was later identified as Stacey Klimovitch.

Officers from Newcastle City Police District established Strike Force Backhouse to investigate the circumstances surrounding Stacey’s murder.

Following extensive inquiries, detectives arrested a 29-year-old man on Wharf Road, Honeysuckle, about 11am on Friday 26 November 2021.

The 29-year-old man was taken to Newcastle Police Station where he was charged with murder. Police will allege in

court that the man orchestrated the murder.

He was refused bail to appear at Newcastle Bail Court on Saturday 27 November 2021.

With assistance from Australian Federal Police (AFP), a 46-year-old man was arrested on a NSW warrant at a home in Chisholm, ACT, about 6.45pm.

He was taken to a local police station where the NSW warrant was executed.

Strike Force detectives then applied for his extradition to NSW. On Monday 29 November 2021, strike force detectives applied for, and were granted, the man’s extradition to NSW. He was escorted to Queanbeyan Police Station and charged with murder.

The man was refused bail to appear at Queanbeyan Local Court on Tuesday 30 November 2021.

Police will allege in court that the man discharged the firearm that killed Stacey Klimovitch.

Detective Superintendent Wayne Humphrey expressed his devastation earlier in the year.

“It’s horrendous, an innocent person who answered the front door of her home was shot in the chest and killed in the presence of a relative and child,” he told reporters.

“It doesn’t get any worse.”

Klimovitch was a loving mother and local swimming coach involved in the support of local support in the Newcastle area for over 25 years, with Stacey teaching most of Stockton how to swim. Local police are reassuring the Stockton community that the likelihood of a recurrence of this offence is very unlikely.

Investigations are ongoing.

we take our power back by getting in the way of economic arteries across this continent,” Sergeio shared.

Over ten days of protesting, over 28 people have been arrested with more than 65 hours of sustained blocking of coal operations.

Northern Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna, said police will continue to target, identify and charge protestors as a priority.

“The actions of this group and individuals

involved are placing lives at risk.

“Illegally entering rail corridors and expecting trains that are over 1.5km in length to stop for people placing themselves in front of them is outrageous and incredibly dangerous behaviour.

“We will continue to use the full force of the law to locate and arrest any persons involved in this criminal activity,” Assistant Commissioner McKenna said.

Sergio was granted bail on 25 November and is pending appeal of his twelve month sentence.

Jailed activist receives jail

By Tara CAMPBELL

ON Monday 23 November, Sergeio Herbert, 22, was sentenced to twelve month’s imprisonment, six months no parole, for taking nonviolent direct action as part of the Blockade Australia mobilisation in Muloobinba/Newcastle.

This is the first significant jailing of a climate activist in this continent’s history.

Sergeio was arrested last week after he stopped a coal train for five hours by climbing on top of it.

He was then arrested under suspicion the following week on Kooragang Island, while walking in the National Park.

He was charged with Assist in Obstruction of Rail Locomotive and Hinder Mining Equipment.

The sentencing magistrate was Janine Lacy, wife of NSW One Nation leader Mark Latham.

“When the government decides it’s going to destroy its people through ecocide - the people will rise up.

“This is what real democracy looks like; this is what a real vote means.

Affirmative Consent reforms pass NSW Parliament

By Tara CAMPBELL

REFORMS to simplify sexual consent laws and to ensure more effective prosecutions of sexual offences have passed NSW Parliament this week.

Although no law can ever erase the trauma of sexual assault, members of parliament have listened to calls for change and consulted victim-survivors and legal experts to improve the response to sexual violence.

“I thank victim-survivors, peak bodies, frontline

Whilst the Bill is based on legislative drafting suggested as part of the NSW Law Reform Commission Report, it went further by requiring a person to do or say something to find out whether the other person consented, in order to have a reasonable belief that they in fact consented to sex.

FEDERAL Member for Paterson Meryl Swanson has demanded Defence improve its communication to restore the trust of ‘Red Zone’ residents whose land remains contaminated

by PFAS pollution from Williamtown RAAF base.

Ms Swanson, the deputy chair of the PFAS Sub-Committee of the

Fourth Man Charged

By Tara CAMPBELL

A FOURTH man has been charged following a fatal shooting in Port Stephens earlier this year.

About 1.45pm on Sunday 29 August 2021, emergency services were called to Hideaway Drive, Salt Ash, following reports a white Ford Ranger utility had hit a tree.

Officers from Port StephensHunter Police District attended, along with NSW Ambulance

www.newsofthearea.com.au

paramedics, and located a male driver suffering a fatal gunshot wound.

He was later identified as 45-year-old David King.

A short time later, officers located a burnt-out white Santa Fe on Masonite Road, Heatherbrae, which police believe is allegedly linked to the shooting.

Police believe that the shooting was a targeted attack and will continue to argue that the men shot Mr King, then fled the scene in the

vehicle.

Detectives established Strike Force Breve to investigate the incident, with assistance from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad.

Three men – aged 26, 27 and 39 – have since been arrested and charged.

The 26-year-old has also been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in the car, before it was set on fire.

They are currently before the

courts.

Following further inquiries, about 10am on Tuesday 23 November 2021, police arrested a 28-year-old man at Newcastle Police Station.

He was charged with murder, take/detain person in company without to obtain advantage, and possess shortened firearm (not pistol) without authority.

The man was refused bail and appeared in Newcastle Local Court where he was formally refused bail to reappear in Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 17 January 2022.

Water Police that a small boat was suffering mechanical issues and drifting a short distance off Tomaree Headland at Shoal Bay. Water Police attended, navigating heavy rain and 25 knots south-westerly winds, and located a three-metre tinny with a 35-year-old woman on board.

The woman was given a life

jacket by police, before being towed to the Shoal Bay Boat Ramp.

In a subsequent search of the vessel and woman’s belongings, officers seized methamphetamine (ice) and cannabis.

Further inquiries identified that the boat was unregistered and without mandatory emergency equipment.

The Nelson Bay woman

was issued a Court Attendance Notice (CAN) for two counts of possessing prohibited drugs.

She is due to appear at Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 10 January 2022.

The woman was also issued three infringements for mastering an unregistered vessel, not wearing PFD when boating a long vessel less than 4.8 metres, and not carrying specified safety equipment.

“Their legacy that action on plastics was behind the rest of the world, let alone every other Australian state and territory,” Ms Washington In 2009 South Australia became the first state to ban single use

plastic bags followed by Northern Territory (2011), Tasmania (2013), Queensland (2018), Western Australia (2019) and the Australian Capital Territory (2021).

77 countries have fully or partially banned single use plastic bags, including countries like Rwanda, Zimbabwe. Botswana, Malawi, Ethiopia and Uganda.

The new legislation sets to ban single-use plastics including single-use plastic bags, single-use cutlery, single-use cotton buds, plastic chopsticks, polystyrene food containers and plastic microbeads.

NSW to ban single-use plastics

By Tara CAMPBELL

THE New South Wales Parliament has passed a Bill to ban single-use plastics in the state by November 2022.

This decision has been longawaited since the initial report by the Environment Protection Authority in 2015, and has since been raised by the opposition a number of times in 2017, 2018, most recently, 2019.

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington addressed the chamber expressing her frustration in New South Wales being the final state or territory to pass the legislation.

“New South Wales has come last.

“The Scott Morrison Government has made it very clear that banning plastic bags is not a race for them, but for those

Australia generates more single use plastics per person than the US or any other country in the world.

“It is this government's legacy that NSW has come last in the race

government, a race to save our rivers from the bungled irresponsible water policy, it is a race to save our state from a Premier who says that any action on climate change is a gratuitous waste,” Ms Washington said.

“It is a race and NSW keeps coming last and sadly, today is no different,” she concluded.

Single-use plastics in New South Wales will be phased out by 1 November 2022, a year after the Bill was passed in Parliament.

Asbestos A Hidden Danger To Renovators q Renovations removing sheets of asbestos can look the same as fibrous cement however the legacy of the dust is deadly. Photo: Marian Sampson.

By Marian SAMPSON COVID-19 has seen Australians turn to renovation and many are engaging in some DIY as trades are hard to secure.

Australians are being asked to think twice about asbestos as new research reveals a surge in DIY home improvements during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A survey of 1506 home improvers commissioned by the Asbestos Safety Eradication Agency, for National Asbestos Awareness Week (22-28 November 2021) found: 46 percent of those intending to do home improvement works cited pandemicrelated motivations for doing so; 38 percent have worked on a risky property built between 1940 and 1990, the decades of greatest concern and; 28 percent of those who had found asbestos admitted to illegally disposing of it, most commonly placing it in

their household bin or a neighbour’s.

Asbestos Safety Eradication Agency CEO Justine Ross said the increase in home improvement has prompted concerns over an increase in asbestos exposure.

“For anyone who thinks asbestos-related diseases are a thing of the past, think again.

“Asbestos is still causing cancer in Australians.

“Around 700 cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in Australia each year and the estimated annual health system expenditure for mesothelioma is more than $27 million annually.”

It is estimated that over six million tonnes of legacy asbestos remains in the built environment and at the current rate of disposal is likely to remain in significant amounts until at least 2060.

It is in one in three homes nationwide.

“Australia has huge amounts of legacy asbestos in the built environment, all of which is reaching the end of its product life.

“We are using technology to help us better understand the location and density of it so it can be better managed.”

The Agency is developing a national residential asbestos heatmap using data-driven artificial

intelligence, the first time this cuttingedge technology has been applied to find solutions to manage Australia’s residential asbestos legacy.

“This work is already under way and once completed next year, it will allow governments to target awareness and removal programs where they are most needed, protecting homeowners and tradespeople.

“It also means we can better target infrastructure and resources, such as waste disposal facilities, in areas that will need it most.

“While there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos fibres, with the right knowledge and tools, we can safely manage asbestos, and avoid exposure to its deadly fibres to prevent a new wave of suffering.”

“We want to see Australians treat asbestos with the same caution as electricity.

“People working on homes built before 1990 can stay safe if they know where asbestos is, if they don’t disturb or damage it, and if they seek professional help to locate, manage or remove it.”

One Port Stephens resident who lost a parent to asbestos related cancer told News Of The Area, “This is a devastating disease that in my father’s case came some 30 years after the exposure, it took his life and it was a terrible illness.”

OUR local youth are keen to see changes in the way that our lives impact the environment.

They are driven by the fact that those making decisions now will not be alive to reap the results of devastating failures of the governments of the world’s attempt to address climate change.

The future of the world, the environment and its preservation are all something which is often discussed, but it’s the youngest generation who are frequently left out of the conversation.

More information will be available in the coming weeks so please keep an eye out on the Brigade’s Facebook page.

Road Closures

Moderate flooding across Port Stephens and the Hunter Region has led to a number of road closures and safety issues this week.

Newline Road in Raymond Terrace was one of these, with rising waters prompting Emergency Services to close the road for safety along with

parts of Hunter St, Glenelg St and Swan St.

Dine and Discover vouchers

By Tara CAMPBELL

THE summer holidays just got even better for New South Wales residents, with two additional $25 Dine & Discover vouchers rolling out for eligible customers from Friday 26 November 2021.

Treasurer Matt Kean said new applicants will receive three Dine NSW and three Discover NSW vouchers, while existing customers will receive one

of each.

“The NSW Government’s $250 million expansion of Dine & Discover, announced as part of our $2.8 million economic recovery package, will help our local businesses grow and thrive this summer,” Mr Kean said.

“More than 15,000 businesses and 4.8 million customers have already registered for the Dine & Discover NSW program, with almost $276 million vouchers used so far.

“The two $25 vouchers will ensure we end 2021 with a bang and provide a much needed boost for businesses right across NSW as we head into a revitalised 2022.”

Minister for Digital and Customer Service Victor Dominello said accessing the new vouchers would be simple and available in the palm of your hand.

“We have made receiving vouchers for individuals even easier, with the additional vouchers appearing

www.newsofthearea.com.au automatically in the Service NSW app, via SMS or email for existing digital customers,” Mr Dominello said.

“Dine & Discover NSW vouchers will start appearing from this week in the Service NSW app with all delivered by early December. Current digital customers do not need to reapply to receive the extra vouchers.

Customers who don’t have access to digital vouchers can opt into a new call and collect delivery method.

All customers need to do is to call Service NSW on

13 77 88 from 3 December, nominate their nearest Service Centre and in three business days they can collect their paper vouchers.

Participating registered businesses do not need to re-register, while those who want to join the program are encouraged to sign up now, download the Service NSW for Business app and get ready to redeem.

NSW residents aged 18 years and older who are yet to apply will be able to do so until the program ends and will receive all six $25

vouchers.

Dine & Discover NSW vouchers can be used seven days a week, including public holidays, and are valid to 30 June 2022.

With almost 250 eligible businesses and activities in the Port Stephens and MidCoast regions, now is a great time to support local and spend your remaining vouchers Find eligible businesses at: https://mybusiness. service.nsw.gov.au/dineand-discover/businessfinder

Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRBs).

Two UAV teams from the Australian UAV Service were conducting aerial surveillance, providing vital information

to the SES to assist in their response to the rapidly rising flood waters in Singleton.

For the first time, the drone vision was also being ‘livestreamed’ directly back to the big screens in the SLSNSW State Ops Centre.

Two IRB crews from Nobbys SLSC in Newcastle were also assisting in the Singleton area, along with a crew from Stockton SLSC who were on standby in the Maitland/Raymond Terrace area.

The capability and agility of the UAVs has been shown to be a major asset for incident commanders, providing crucial real-time information and situational awareness.

“We can deploy our UAV operators quickly and with minimal equipment and setup, they can be feeding back a very

clear picture of the situation in no time,” said SLSNSW CEO Steve Pearce.

“For the first time in an emergency incident, we have been able to link the camera feed directly back to our State Operations Centre in Sydney, where our Duty Officers can see exactly what the drone pilot is seeing, which is incredible.”

With the wild weather continuing to hammer NSW and flood risks imminent for rivers further north, volunteer callout teams and Surf Life Saving assets will remain on standby to respond if requested.

“I can’t thank our volunteers enough for answering the call to assist, bringing their skills and experience to an extremely challenging situation.”

and collaborate on a range of community led, volunteer driven natural resource management activities and projects,” Cr Scott said.

“This partnership will allow us to explore future opportunities where we can align and collaborate.”

Landcare NSW is the peak body for community Landcare in NSW. It is a not-for-profit organisation that represents the many Landcare groups and volunteers that constitute the Landcare movement in NSW.

The partnership will include a bespoke membership opportunity for Local Government NSW members to support and connect with Landcare in their local region.

Landcare NSW is the peak representative body of community Landcare groups in NSW. Landcare is a community-driven approach to sustainable natural resource management with a focus on improving the resilience of the environment now and into the future.

Local Government NSW is the peak body for local government in NSW, representing general purpose councils and related entities.

Local Government NSW aims to strengthen and protect an effective, democratic system of local government across NSW by supporting and advocating on behalf of member councils, including actively and persuasively representing the views of local government to the NSW and Australian governments.

Surf Lifesavers Respond to Flood Emergency VOLUNTEER surf lifesavers have stepped up to assist with flood rescue and relief efforts underway in the Hunter region in the past week.

All weekend volunteers from a number of Surf Life Saving Clubs in the Hunter Branch assisted the NSW SES as flood waters continue to rise.

New partnership set to strengthen ties between Landcare and Local Government in NSW NSW peak bodies Landcare NSW and Local Government NSW (LGNSW) are joining forces to work together to improve environmental and community outcomes across NSW. Landcare NSW Chair Stephanie Cameron said the partnership is a natural fit for Landcare NSW whose mission is to support grassroots Landcarers to care for our land, environment, and communities.

“We are thrilled to

be working with Local Government NSW to formalise the partnership between our two organisations,” Ms Cameron said.

“We already work together in many parts of the state through on-ground projects that focus on environmental protection, sustainable food production, and community engagement and wellbeing.

The penultimate episode of season two of this piercing political drama unfurls tonight, bolstered by excellent performances from its stars Deborah Mailman, Rachel Griffiths and William McInnes. At a short and sharp six episodes long, its perhaps enough time for viewers to marinate in the absurdity and selfishness of politics; one can easily imagine certain scenes playing out across the country as political leaders hustle to keep their jobs.

This week, the identity of Alex’s (Mailman, right) troll is finally uncovered, and he’s someone she knows.

Meanwhile, Alex and Rachel (Griffiths) band together to ultimately decide who will be the next PM.

Can a longrunning series be the same when an integral character takes a backseat? This is what fans are wondering as season 19 of the police procedural premieres tonight.

In perhaps a merciful move, the show’s writers appeared to kill off Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon, above) via a massive boat explosion in last season’s finale, planting the seed that the central protagonist’s days were numbered after 18 years. Tonight, in “Blood in the Water”, the team searches for Gibbs after discovering the wreckage of his boat, and find out he was tracking a killer.

When it comes to expensive hotels that slap you in the face with that wow factor, Las Vegas has it covered. Of all the travel destinations in the world, the high-roller gambling mecca has the razzle dazzle and high-end hotel design to attract all sorts of travellers.

In this aspirational series, which has so far explored Paris’ beautiful George V and the swanky Claridge’s in London, money is almost no object – unless you are counting. Tonight, lucky presenters Simon Calder and Caroline Frost explore Las Vegas’ Bellagio, an opulent hotel inspired by the villages of Europe.

Same Job Same Pay Bill

By Tara CAMPBELL

LABOR leader of the Opposition, Anthony Albanese has introduced an amendment to the Fair Work Amendment (Same Job, Same Pay) Bill 2021 designed to stop the inequality that exists in many workplaces across the Australian economy.

Labor say that for many years there has been an injustice in wages for workers with the same job at the same mine, factory, construction site, abattoir, shop or office.

Mr Albanese used the first day of the final two sitting weeks of the year to

introduce this amendment, aiming to allow casual workers employed through labour-hire companies to have the same entitlements as those engaged directly by employers.

“Scott Morrison teamed up with One Nation to pass IR changes that extinguish the rights of casual workers in all industries.

“Under the government scheme passed earlier this year, employers can benefit from the certainty of a permanent worker – but they don’t need to give them the benefits of permanent work like sick leave or annual leave,”

Mr Albanese said.

The Bill was introduced under the idea that workers who work the same job should get the same pay.

Member for Paterson Meryl Swanson proudly seconded the Bill.

“We have staggering inequality in industries such as nursing, hospitality, mining and construction, just to name a few.

“This is a consequence of shonky operators exploiting workers and not paying fair wages for Fair Work and The Morrison government has let that happen.

THE Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill has passed the Legislative Assembly in the Parliament of NSW. With 167 amendments debated and a number of nights in which the chamber sat until midnight, the vote passed 52 to 32.

The bill was put forward by independent member Alex Greenwich and co-signed by 27 members of NSW Parliament across all political parties.

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington strongly

Spotlight On Litter

By Marian SAMPSON

LITTER is a huge environmental problem particularly for regions with coastal environments.

Litter that washes into the estuaries kills aquatic animals and destroys habitats which are nursery environments for

fish and other species.

The 2022 Keep Australia Beautiful Litter Congress will be held at Aerial UTS Function Centre, Sydney on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 April 2022 and organisers are seeking proposals for presentations, workshops and more with recent case

“It's about time hard working Australians got the same pay for the same network,”Ms Swanson said.

The introduction of the Bill earned the praise of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), which said it will help in alleviating insecure work and stopping unfair business models.

"Workers who do the same work for the same employer should be paid the same,” said ACTU secretary Sally McManus.

“We have to stop this business model that allows labour hire operators to create a cheaper and more insecure workforce,” she said.

Litter Congress is the only event in NSW that focuses solely on all aspects of litter and litter prevention and will provide the opportunity for individuals

advocated the need for voluntary assisted dying.

“As a proud co-sponsor of the bill, I’ll keep working to ensure everyone who’s making end of life decisions, has a choice of safe, equitable access to palliative care and voluntary assisted dying.

New South Wales is the only state in Australia where voluntary assisted dying is not legal.

Following the vote, Dying with Dignity NSW (DWD NSW) president Penny Hackett addressed the bill.

“This historic result sends a clear and unambiguous

and groups involved in litter management, prevention and reduction to jointly tackle littering and behaviour change in an interactive environment.

The Litter Congress is seeking content from organisations and individuals around litter research, product stewardship, policy trends, local government, public places litter challenges, industry best practice,

message to the Legislative Council that the people of New South Wales want this law passed to give dying people in this state the same rights as other Australians.”

Whilst Ms Hackatt is pleased that the bill has reached this point, she fears that the amendment process will “fundamentally change the nature of the bill in ways that are detrimental to dying people”.

Ms Hackett is concerned that amendments could impose additional requirements for medical assessments, and increase

bureaucratic hurdles and waiting times.

“All of which is put forward in the interests of extra safeguards, but the reality is that they are designed to and will have the effect of making (the laws) very difficult for very vulnerable people to use,” Ms Hackatt said.

Both Premier Dominic Perrottet and Opposition Leader Chris Minns voted against the Bill in the chamber.

The Bill will now be passed over the Upper House to reflect the will of the people of NSW, before it can be passed as law.

Barrier fencing has been erected and members of the public advised not to enter the area while work is underway.

“Excavators will dig out the waste which will be tested and

with

Jasminda Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au DEAR Jasminda, IS it wrong that I just don't feel like putting up Christmas decorations this year?

It has been such a weird 12 months and the thought of dragging out the Christmas tree is just too much. I really can't be bothered.

Laurie N.

IS A SMALL BLOCK A DISADVANTAGE? “Is a small block a disadvantage when you want to sell?”

I feel you’re referring to a residential block as opposed to small versus large acreage.

As my wise mum always said, “every saucepan has its lid.” The reality is that while the quarter acreblock was pretty much the Aussie standard and we do love our ‘room to move’ gardens, over the past few decades subdivision of residential blocks has become common (STCA). I have friends who divided their 1400sqm residential block with a cottage into a 900sqm block with the cottage and a separate 500sqm block with building entitlement, which they sold for a handsome return. With our busy lifestyles; downsizing by empty nesters, and the plethora of out-ofhome activities such as travelling to enjoy, a smaller block presents a wonderful ‘lock and leave’ opportunity that holds enormous appeal to buyers. And small gardens are still lovely gardens. I can see that R&R has an office near your location, so if your question relates to your own circumstances, either in terms of subdivision, or you’re on a small block, feel free to chat with our professional and experienced Sales Team about your current value and options.

Dear Laurie,

Update on further easing of restrictions THE NSW Government has updated the roadmap for easing restrictions after the State reaches the 95 per cent double dose vaccination target or 15 December, whichever comes first.

Adjustments to previous settings scheduled for this milestone include: • Masks will only be required on public transport and planes, at airports, and for indoors front-of-house hospitality staff who are not fully vaccinated (previously all indoors front-of-house hospitality staff regardless of vaccination status).

Masks will be strongly encouraged in settings where you cannot social distance; • No density limits (previously one person per 2sqm); • COVID safety plans will be optional for businesses and will be supported by SafeWork NSW; • QR check-ins will only be required at high-risk venues including hospitals, aged and disability care facilities, gyms, places of worship, funerals or memorial services, personal services (e.g. hairdressers and beauty salons), limited hospitality settings (including pubs, small bars, registered clubs and nightclubs), and for indoor music festivals with more than 1,000 people; and • Proof of vaccination will no longer be required by Public Health Order for most activities (businesses can still require proof at their own discretion).

Proof of vaccination will still be required for indoor music festivals with more than 1,000 people.

With more than 92 per cent of people over 16 now vaccinated ahead of the summer festive season, NSW is continuing to take a responsible and measured approach to reopening.

To maintain high levels of immunity across the community, NSW Health is rolling out a booster vaccination program at its clinics to individuals aged 18 and older who received their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine six months or more ago.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the easing of restrictions was only possible because NSW is amongst the highest vaccinated populations in the world and the introduction of the booster shot program.

14 PORT STEPHENS NEWS OF THE AREA

“We’re leading the world when it comes to vaccinations and that is a tremendous achievement we can all be proud of because it has allowed us to return to normal as quickly and safely as possible,” Mr Perrottet said.

“The easing of these restrictions will allow people to get out and enjoy summer, providing a boost for some of our hardest industries as we do everything we can to ensure we keep people safe as we learn to live with COVID.” Deputy Premier Paul Toole said the roadmap was a staged and considered approach which ensured Regional NSW was able to welcome back visitors in a COVID safe way.

“Regional NSW is open for business thanks to high vaccination rates right across the state. I’d remind visitors to our beautiful beaches, countryside and outback this summer to be respectful and ensure they are abiding by safety measures, which include wearing masks on public transport, planes and at airports.

Minister for Jobs, Investment and Tourism Stuart Ayres said the updated plans for the next stage of the roadmap was great news for businesses still impacted by the remaining restrictions.

“This is a timely boost for businesses just before the busy Christmas and summer holiday periods,” Mr Ayres said.

“I want to encourage everyone to go out and support NSW businesses – whether it’s a meal out, booking a regional trip or holiday shopping at your favourite local store, this is a prime time to enjoy the new freedoms and help NSW businesses bounce back.”

Minister for Health Brad Hazzard said COVID booster shots would be an important part of keeping the community safe through the summer and new year.

“If you had your second COVID vaccination jab six months or more ago, you should book a booster right now.

“Don't forget, if you haven’t been vaccinated at all, go and get the jab to protect yourself and your family,” Mr Hazzard said.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

It seems that people fall broadly into two camps at Christmas time.

There are the Christmas zealots who post daily updates of their Elf on a Shelf, have all presents wrapped and under the tree by midNovember, annoy their neighbours with their glowing reindeers and epilepsy-inducing lights, and spend hours decorating their festive fauxsnow tree covered with enough plastic to choke a bale of turtles (if nothing else, I have now discovered the collective noun for turtles, so this query has been worthwhile).

Then there are those who cut a branch from the most Christmasy-looking tree in their yard and plonk it in a bucket of water, make a batch of rumballs, do a last-minute shop that they abandon due to whinging kids, and watch Love Actually so they can cry over the blatant sexism and misogyny, yet still enjoy Hugh Grant's goofy dance moves.

I possibly don't need to clarify which of the two groups I fall into, Laurie.

And I think you do too.

Perhaps this year you could consider a themed Christmas to get you in the mood.

You could, for example, go for a plastic-free Christmas and adorn your tree with dried orange segments, cinnamon sticks and pinecones.

Or maybe a pandemic-themed Christmas with a tree decorated with hand-made coronavirus balls, Delta-blue tinsel, and a tinfoil hat instead of a star.

I really think, whatever you do, make it a special day for you, Laurie, and try not to be weighed down by expectation.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

“By stepping up for a jab and a booster shot you help protect yourself and everyone around you, including the elderly, those with underlying health conditions and young children who aren’t yet eligible for vaccinations.

“We will also need to continue to get tested if we develop COVID symptoms, regardless of vaccination status, and continue to follow public health advice.”

The NSW Government will continue to review the roadmap settings and make any appropriate changes based on the current case numbers and vaccination rates.

People aged 18 years and older can receive the Pfizer booster dose at least six months after receiving their second dose of any of the COVID-19 vaccines registered for use in Australia.

You can book your COVID-19 vaccine or your booster shot, via www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/ vaccination/get-vaccinated.

More information about the next stage of easing of restrictions is available at nsw.gov.au.

Tilligerry on the move

“MUM, I'm bored.”

These words should be a thing of the past as the new recreational facility at Mallabula Oval comes on stream for the school holidays.

The complex beside the tennis courts and Aquatic Centre at Mallabula is nearing completion and should be open for use in the very near future, Port Stephens Councillor Steve Tucker explained. q

The new toilet block.

“A great deal of planning has gone into this venture,” he said.

“Its central location and cycleway linkage to both Tanilba and Lemon Tree Passage made it an easy choice.

“Add to this the rugby league, Little Athletics and soccer fields alongside and it provides passive recreation for those children who come as spectators,” he added.

Cr Tucker said the

workers have done a “first class job”.

“At the moment we already have in place the new skate park, a playground, a multi-purpose court, a toilet block, pathway links, seating,bubblers and picnic tables.

“Take a drive down that way and the sign on the fence will explain it all,” he stated.

Also in the pipeline are vehicle barriers and a car

park.

The existing Little Athletics and soccer amenities block and clubhouse will also be given a major makeover.

“Council sees the future of Tilligerry as becoming more tourist friendly and a quiet place for passive recreation,” he said.

“Since the Covid scare, this has become all the more apparent and our forward planning initiatives will concentrate more on developing our foreshore amenities to cater for this emerging trend,” he concluded. q

Singles championship at Soldiers Point

By Peter SMITH

THE Minor Singles Final was played last week at Soldiers Point Bowling Club before attentive spectators.

The Final, between George Pearson and Don Hutchinson, was a keenly fought contest played in good spirits with some dramatic, close ends.

Bowls Singles is a

challenging game requiring concentration and consistency often over three hours or more with tactics being important.

These were evident with George favouring long ends and Don much shorter ones.

After running neck and neck for two hours, Don took a decisive lead by winning the maximum four shots on a

short end and then went on to win 31 shots to 22.

Congratulations go to Don who has been on the wrong side of the ledger once or twice in finals!.

New bowlers are welcome at Soldiers Point Bowling Club where they can receive free tuition- contact Terry Antram, Bowls Director, on 49827173.
