By Victoria HENDERSON IT isn’t often that communities see long term projects come to a positive outcome but Medowie is glad to see the Medowie Social open at last.

After a soft opening for friends and family, Charlie and Ben Way were able to welcome the community which has waited so impatiently

The Medowie Social opens its doors to locals for their latest hotspot to open.

Sue Xenos was one of the locals lucky enough to be there for the opening.

“There was really good service and even though there were large crowds they were all dealt with calmly and efficiently,” she said.

“All our meals were delivered together and of good quality.

“I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to have a drink and meal in nice surroundings where you are made to feel welcome.”

Following a good opening with a great day the Medowie Cricket Club coordinated their ‘Pink Stumps’ event for the Social’s first day in business.

The event is held in

support of the McGrath Foundation which raises money for breast cancer support.

Locals were keen on Saturday for somewhere to hide from the rain and enjoy community cricket in support of a great cause.

Thanks to a raffle held at the Social, the Cricket Club was able to raise over $1300 for the

charity.

There is also a great deal to be said about their mini cob loaves and pork belly it seems.

Social media has been awash with praise following the opening and it seems that the Medowie Social is the venue the township has been waiting for.

John Chambers, Port Stephens Citizen of the Year

FROM Page 1

Day Ambassador, who was unable to suppress her joy on the announcement that John was the Port Stephens Citizen of the Year.

John Chambers told News Of The Area, “I find this a little bit embarrassing, but I think it’s important that a person can see that a person like me can do what I do and get the support from so many others who want to do the same thing; there is no reason to stand back.”

John is certainly a quiet achiever and that is how John works.

“We are not about building egos, we are about building communities.”

John is proud of his work with the Indigenous community and, importantly, his work that contributes to bridging the gap.

“We are working on addressing poverty in the area and bringing the standard of living up.”

In John’s work he not only assists people out of

poverty, he does it face to face with them and works with them to change their lives.

“We don’t have clients, we have mates,” he said.

John believes that the work he does is creating a two way street for the future of our community.

The team at the NOTA congratulate John on being named Port Stephens Citizen of the Year and the team that he works with for the good that they do in our community.

CANCER has had it’s last laugh according to six intrepid adventurers who are Stand-up Paddle Boarding 40km up the Port Stephens and Myall coastline to promote awareness and raise money for charity.

After losing close relatives and fighting off their own cancer battles, Nicki Day, Rita BoysSmith, Ronald Cropper, Neale Martin, Marshall Kane and Charne Lindsay decided enough was enough.

The team have undergone strenuous training for their three day paddle which starts on 11 February.

The SUP’n it Forward team has been raising money to conquer cancer since 2017 and remind their community to get a check before it's too late and find a cure.

Nicki told News Of The Area her sister in law lost her battle with

Nicki told News Of The Area, “All the proceeds raised will go to Love Your Sister,” which aims to vanquish cancer.

Port’s Best Honoured

By Marian SAMPSON LOCAL Community Groups and champions were honoured at the Port Stephens Australia Day ceremony held at Medowie.

Alongside Port Stephens Citizen of the Year, John Chambers, were 10 others who were recognised for their work in the community.

From the environment, to sport and culture our community leaders were applauded for their contribution to our community.

Mayor Ryan Palmer said, “All of our recipients have generously given their time to help others, whether that’s through contributing to community groups and programs, caring for the environment, celebrating our culture or dedicating themselves to help our sporting community.”

Ports Young Citizen of the Year is Daniel Howard who is a basketball coach and mentor with PCYC for the past 9 years.

Throughout COVID-19, Dan used technology to help to motivate local teens to keep fit during the lockdown.

Four Port Stephens Medals were awarded to individuals, organisations or groups for distinguished service to the

community.

One of these went to Dennis Peters, the recently retired captain of the Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue team.

Not only has Dennis stood on the front line for 23 years he has been a community educator, working with young people and our community about the importance of fire safety.

Another went to John de Ridder, the former president of Caring for Port Stephens Youth (COPSY) since he has been working to improve mental health and wellbeing in young people in Port Stephens.

Also awarded was Andrew Smith, a proud Wonnarua man, and a well-

since 2006.

Andrew is dedicated to advocating for and strengthening

relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, and to protecting and fostering Aboriginal culture and identity.

Andrew Smith told News Of The Area, “I think this is an excellent recognition of all of those people out there in the Port Stephens Community, they talk about leadership but really it is about servanthood, we have a passion for our people, our environment on both the social and commercial level.

“I think taking time to stop and

think and just say thank you is a really big honour and a very humbling experience,” he said.

A fourth Port Stephens Medal was given to the Medowie Girl Guides, a group run by volunteers who give their time to help teach young women new skills, develop independence, build confidence, make friends and become active community members.

Alongside the Port Stephens Medal Winners was Sportsperson of the Year, awarded to Maya Stewart, who is currently vying for a spot in the national Wallaroos squad to participate in the upcoming Olympics and Rugby World Cup. The Cultural Endeavour went to Kay Newton and Peter Robinson who now reside in New Zealand for their efforts and contributed to historical education in our area.

The hotly contended Environmental Award went to Lia and Ryan Pereira the founders of Sea Shelter, a not-for-profit marine conservation, research and rescue organisation.

They are passionate about preserving the local environment and supporting threatened and endangered animals through breeding programs, research, rehabilitation and rescue.

Port Stephens Celebrates Australia Day

By Marian SAMPSON

FOR some Australia Day is contentious; for many it is a day to celebrate.

A day when we come together from all walks of life and simply celebrate our lives under the great southern sun.

This year there were no parades, no live entertainment and even the Australian National Anthem was something that we listened to rather than sang, yet still Australians in Port Stephens celebrated.

At the Port Stephens Australia Day ceremony our Australia Day Ambassador Di Ball delivered a speech which honoured her people and made her an example to us all.

Di Ball is Wahroonga Aboriginal Corporation Executive Director, Order of Australia Medal recipient and the CEO of Karuah Aboriginal Land Council.

Di Ball is a proud Aboriginal woman, the first one to graduate Year 12 in her country of Gumbangerri (Armidale).

Di moved to Port Stephens in the mid 1990’s where she co-founded the Wahroonga Aboriginal Corporation in 1994 in response to local need.

At the Australia Day function held by Port Stephens Council Di Ball spoke of reconciliation, she

broke it down to our daily lives and offered powerful insight into the needs of her community.

Di Ball said, “That developing really good relationships, which I call unified with government agency and with community, that is reconciliation.

“How we ventured out with Rotary, the programs we got out there were for the community, in breaking down the barriers we became united, especially with our driver training program, the activities that we did in the schools, it was about bringing our kids together whether they were Indigenous or non Indigenous, it didn’t matter –

it was about reconciliation,” she said.

Di Ball also stated how honoured she felt to be the Port Stephens Australia Day Ambassador for 2021.

Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer paid tribute to Di Ball for her honour of receiving the OAM last year and said that her services to the Port Stephens community are “Second to none, Di is an incredible advocate for Aboriginal people in Port Stephens.”

The Mayor said, “To have her (Di Ball) here and Uncle Neville here shows that Australia Day here in Port Stephens is truly inclusive and that people are here to

COPSY VP Gets OAM

By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens youth charity advocates and volunteers have been recognised amongst many in the Australia Day honours.

Geoffrey Basser has received a Medal of the Order (OAM) for his services to the community of Port Stephens.

Basser has most recently been heavily involved with the development and delivery of free youth counselling services in Port Stephens and serves as the Vice President of COPSY (Caring For Our Port Stephens Youth) which delivers the jupiter service.

Basser, who is a past APEX Club Member and Rotarian was a recipient of the Port Stephens Medal in 2018 an honour that fellow COPSY Executive committee

member, John de Ridder, was a recipient of at the 2021 Port Stephens Council honours held at Medowie on Australia Day. COPSY’s services were identified as an area of need for the community after a study was conducted by Newcastle University in 2016.

It was this needs analysis that identified the gaps in services to Port Stephens youth.

The analysis provided credible ‘whole-ofcommunity’ research to both back up anecdotal evidence as well as provide guidance into the strategic direction we needed to take within the community.

Throughout 2017 community consultation was carried out to narrow the

18 recommendations from the report, resulting in the following priorities for the community: Provide a free local counselling service; provide School/Community/

COPSY works closely with the schools within Port Stephens to deliver much needed services to local youth.

Basser, who is now 91, served as President of COPSY until recently when Brooke Vitnell took over the role.

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington said, “It’s been my privilege to know and work with Geoffrey over many years he’s thoughtful, generous, funny and tenacious.

“On behalf of the good

People here in Port Stephens.”

He went on to say, ”It’s wonderful to have the first function here at Medowie Social and it is opening up over the next couple of weeks, it’s great to have a venue like this where we can come together in a COVID Safe way is fantastic.

“Our volunteer groups do a fantastic job each year and we acknowledge the work they have done in their Australia Day events and obviously we can’t hold those this year, but we are still able to celebrate the successes of our citizens whether these are sporting achievements, cultural achievements, environmental achievements, or services to Port Stephens today,” said the Mayor.

people of Port Stephens, I thank and congratulate this good man,” she said.

Fellow Rotary Club of Salamander Bay member Wendy Stein (OAM) said, “Welcome to the club!”

Stein was a recipient of an OAM for her work in Papua New Guinea which supports women’s health, family planning and assists with practical services including the MV Kula Spirit which delivers outreach medical services to remote communities.

Port Stephens Women in Business Returning to Normal

www.newsofthearea.com.au

q President Fiona Brown at the recent Women in Business AGM.

By Victoria Henderson AS the year begins anew, many community and social groups are coming back to life after their holiday period hibernation.

This year for many groups it is doubly significant and their work in a distanced world doubly important.

One of the groups in the area making important connections is Port Stephens Women in Business.

The group held their AGM last week and this was their first chance to meet face to face again since our world changed.

Their committee is made up of seven local businesswomen with their President, Fiona Brown, returning this year.

“I joined the group when I came to the bay 4 years ago as a way of meeting other women in the area.

“I joined to meet people.

“Throughout my life I’ve always had a volunteer hat on, and this was a way to do that.

“I believe in investing in a community.

Lorna Bennett’s ‘The Lone Watchman’, a mesmerising artwork featuring a lone bird guarding the Port Stephens coastal and water area.

Second and third places went to Lisa O’Donnell’s ‘Last Stand’ a triptych acrylic artwork of the trees in the area and Bev McKinnon-Matthews’ ‘Into the Burley Bucket’, an artwork utilising Gyotaku, the traditional Japanese method of printing fish.

The exhibition’s theme was the heritage and sustainability of the Port Stephens area, in line with the Tomaree Museum

Association’s goal.

“The Tomaree Museum Association aims to develop a Tomaree Museum and Interpretive Centre to document, protect and promote the history and changing natural environment of Port Stephens and Tomaree Peninsula, contributing to preserving the historic, cultural, marine and tourism value of Tomaree Headland,” Ian Farnsworth of The Tomaree Museum Association said.

The art competition strongly highlighted the

excellence in talent from all involved, with many stand out articles.

Excellent commendation should be given to Bev Bush for ‘Sammy the Seal’, a beautifully painted seal, Rebecca Cavanagh’s ‘Octopus’ a fascinating mixed media piece utilising wood, rope, sand and shells and Amanda Sutherland with her work ‘Birubi Reflections’ which was crafted entirely with bottle caps found on the local beaches.

All artwork in the exhibition was on display

with a percentage of sales supporting the Tomaree Museum Project.

True Blue

By Geoff WALKER

A SEA of blue Aussie flags fluttered in the breeze as Tilligerry Car Club celebrated Australia Day on the foreshore at Lemon Tree Passage.

They were joined by outof-towners with the '48 - '78 Holden Car club rolling into town.

The club members swapped stories and were kept cool by the gentle sea breeze.

Surprisingly, Henderson Park, the traditional venue for Australia Day celebrations, saw few people gather there despite BBQ facilities and play equipment being on hand.

It was a different story at Mallabula and Tanilba Bay where every shady spot near the water had families picnicking and swimming safely in the shallows.

Tilligerry Car Club hosts the largest community annual gathering on the peninsula

“There needs to be a balance between giving and getting,” she said.

Although the group has reached their highest ever membership this year, with 64 paid members, Fiona says that it is the quality and not the quantity of their membership that matters.

They also offer corporate memberships aimed at giving female driven businesses access to the networking, events, offers and information they share.

The group aims this year to be the group that brings the most value to the women in business of Port Stephens.

Their tag line is “Connect, Inspire, Support” with a free ‘taste test’ for new members to ensure that the group is able to meet their needs.

The club has regular outings around the Hunter but have been limited this past year by social distancing rules.

The clever casting crew behind this crime-drama did an excellent job of nabbing British heartthrob Ioan Gruffudd to play the lead. Sometimes you just need a wildcard to be the point of difference among all the other crime-dramas out there (and let’s face it, his smile doesn’t hurt, either). Not that you’ll see much smiling in this season three return as Dr Daniel Harrow (Gruffudd) investigates the death of a young man who claimed to be his son. The news shocks those close to him, but Harrow is pushed to reveal a chapter of his past. But just like in many of the cases his team investigate,

SBS, 8.30pm

Michael Palin (right) – who will forever and always be referred to as ‘ex-Monty Python comic Michael Palin’ – took a chance on a ground-breaking travel series that changed both his life and the way travel shows have been presented since. In a nod to Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, Palin accepted the challenge of following that novel’s route around the globe and we get to join him for a look back at that journey. Tonight’s premiere begins in London before taking in the stinky side of Venice and ending in Egypt. Some big name fans, friends and fellow travellers – Sir David Attenborough and Joanna Lumley – reflect on his achievements, too.

Roads the focus, not a skate park

DEAR News Of The Area,

IS the Council joking?

We have infrastructure falling apart in Lemon Tree and they want to build another skatepark less than 4kms from an existing facility.

Please, give us a break.

The roads in Lemon Tree are falling apart, Lemon Tree Passage Road is a goat track from the old tip to the Bowling Club.

The road has got to a point where the pot holes on pothole

10 PORT STEPHENS NEWS OF THE AREA

repairs are not sustainable and they are causing massive damage to our cars, after rain you need a four wheel drive to navigate.

If the Council has 250k to spare for a (second) skate park, give it to the residents

so we can maintain our cars to navigate the Lemon Tree goat track.

The site in question for the proposed skate park is used for many activities, including dog exercising, a safe play area for kids away from cars, events

media@newsofthearea.com.au

OPINION

such as vintage car displays and festival overflow for carnival rides and many other activities, hopefully to return when we beat Covid-19.

No this is not right.

Leave our park alone, fix the roads.

Ask any resident in Lemon Tree Passage the roads, and upgrading of existing facilities in Lemon Tree are the priority not another skate park.

Regards, Warwick WILLIAMS, Lemon Tree Passage.

New Australian Citizens Join Port Community

By Marian SAMPSON EVERY year as a part of the Port Stephens Australia Day formalities we welcome new citizens to Australia.

These people are a part of what makes Australia great, our history of immigration and multiculturalism is a story which is woven together and told in our families and communities.

We celebrate heritage and

recognise our similarities and differences.

In becoming citizens of Australia, we become one.

We salute our nation and we respect all our people equally.

Mayor Ryan Palmer said, “Australia Day is about coming together and to be receiving your Australian citizenship is a very special and memorable day.

“We are welcoming people from right across the world as citizens in Port Stephens,” he said.

Port Stephens newest Australians certainly add to our cultural diversity

with our newest citizens coming from Bangladesh, Argentina, The Philippines,

Joan, one of the devoted administrators of the group said, “We love to get out in the bush and spend a lot of time on Stockton beach.

“It's clean, majestic and so welcoming when we just want to sit for a more relaxing social gathering, getting to know one another better.

“Covid compliance is also important, and Stockton provides sufficient space for that.”

With an easy to remember birthday, January 26, this group is a family friendly and adventure focused one.

They marked the occasion this year with a drive out onto their favourite

Local 4x4 Group Turns Two

By Victoria HENDERSON

4X4 Adventures Newcastle are a group you’ve probably seen lately.

The convoy of heavy duty vehicles and keen drivers can often be spotted at trail heads and en masse at the local servo before departing the tarmac for rougher roads.

This intrepid group are heading into their third year of operation with their largest ever membership.

It's easy to wonder if they should rename the group 4x4 Adventures Port Stephens with many adventures launched down Lavis Lane onto Stockton beach.

Canada, United Kingdom, Chile, Scotland, Peru, India, Slovakia, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy and Thailand.

Meryl Swanson spoke at the Australia Day citizenship and Australia Day ceremony.

“For some it is a start of another year, for those taking up your citizenship today, it is part of taking up your Australian journey and that is so exciting, we welcome you, we have such a diverse country and that diversity makes us stronger.”

beach and the deployment of a slip and slide.

“We also organise camping events, have completed cleanup weekends and occasionally surprise the members with admin planned mystery trips,” Joan said.

“We cater for beginners all the way up to extreme enthusiasts and are looking forward to bigger and better things in the future.”

According to the Federal

Meryl Swanson reflected that on the Australian Coat of Arms we have the kangaroo and the emu, the only two animals in Australia that cannot move backwards.

As Australians we can’t go backwards and let’s move forwards in the spirit of hope, endeavour, reconciliation and love.

“Congratulations to everybody who is becoming an Australian Citizen,” she said.

Chamber of Automotive Industries, SUV’s were the most popular class of car sold in 2020. Most of those 4x4’s will never see a sand dune but, certainly in Port Stephens, there’s plenty of eager volunteers to help change that.

Don’t be fooled however, while this group may call it a ‘run’, you had better be strapped tightly into your seat.

DEAR Jasminda,

My daughter wants to join the school choir, but her voice could raise the dead. She's loud and tuneless. How do we let her down gently?

LOCAL VERSUS METRO AGENT? “With so many buyers coming from Sydney to purchase up here, and given the larger metropolitan buyer pool, why shouldn’t I list my property with a Sydney agent, rather than a local one?”

IF you were searching for a new property up here, would you drive to Sydney to look in the windows of Sydney Agents? No. Conversely, if you’re a Hunter/Mid North Coast resident looking to purchase in Sydney, you won’t find Sydney properties filling Agency windows up here. Additionally, how often can a Sydney Agent, with buyers vying for properties in their own area be relied on to drive up here to meet a prospective buyer? That novelty wears thin very swiftly - for both Agent and vendor; the vendor quickly consigned to ‘afterthought’ status! With online marketing now the primary vehicle by which buyers search for properties, with just one click, vendors’ properties are visible to local, regional, national and global buyers – and what vendor doesn’t want maximum reach?! Buyers will search their desired area, contacting local Agents. No one knows an area better than a local Agent with local knowledge and experience. Also, buyers know the benefit of creating a personal relationship with Agents, and in this climate, where demand outstrips supply, creating a relationship where you can be advised of upcoming listings is vital. Go local. Always!

Mr Kevin W.

High-range drink driving in Heatherbrae POLICE have charged a man with high range PCA (prescribed concentration of alcohol) in Port Stephens after a member of the public reported him for dangerous driving before confiscating his keys when he pulled over, during the Australian Day road-safety operation.

Between 12.01am last Friday, 22 January 2021, and 11.59pm Tuesday 26 January 2021, officers from Traffic and Highway Patrol Command with assistance from Police Area Commands and Police Districts conducted Operation Australia 2021 across NSW. About 6.50am on Sunday 24 January 2021, police received reports from a motorist that the driver of a Nissan Navara was driving dangerously on the Pacific Highway near Heatherbrae, Port Stephens.

Police have been told the man, aged 44, drove onto a median strip and hit a small tree before pulling over on Six Mile Creek Road, Eagleton, where the motorist – a 46-year-old man, also stopped and took the driver’s keys away.

Officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Police Area Command arrived a short time later and breath tested the man, who allegedly returned a positive result.

The man was arrested and taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station, where a subsequent breath analysis returned an alleged positive reading of 0.186.

The man was issued a Court Attendance Notice for drive with high range PCA; and is due

History Buff Bill

By Geoff WALKER

MUCH of the preservation of our local history can be put down to those quiet achievers who beaver away for endless hours combing through archives and long forgotten documents.

One such person out Tilligerry way was Bill Howard, a behind-the-scenes researcher and editor whose contribution was huge.

Indeed, he was working on a monumental work about the history of World War II in the Pacific when a bushfire burned his Salt Ash home down.

The manuscript was lost in the blaze.

Bill was a high school

to appear in Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 22 February 2021.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Stephen Hegarty, said it’s encouraging to see motorists concerned for the safety of others by reporting dangerous driving to police.

“As part of our Four Ds campaign, we’ve been urging all road users to report drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving, when safe to do so,” said Acting Assistant Commissioner Hegarty.

“In this instance, the actions of the motorist have helped keep the community safe during the Operation Australia Day 2021 period.”

During the operation, motorists faced double demerit points for speeding, mobile phone, motorcycle helmet and seatbelt offences.

Police conducted more than 96,000 breath tests, with more than 300 drivers charged with drink driving.

In addition to the drink-driving charges, 386 people returned positive results for drugdriving. More than 9200 people were fined for other traffic offences, including not wearing a seatbelt and speeding.

“While the poor behaviour of some drivers is disappointing, we’re overall encouraged by the behaviour of the vast majority of drivers over operation,” said Acting Assistant Commissioner Hegarty.

“Sadly, three people lost their lives on NSW roads over this period. We continue to work hard in improving road safety for all road users across our state,” said Mr Hegarty.

He was pivotal in the publication of 'A History of the Tilligerry Peninsula' which went to a second imprint with sales of over 1000 copies.

A lesser known but equally important publication he edited came about when two sisters came to town in search of details of a pioneer relative – a certain Henry Blackford of Lemon Tree Passage.

It was Bill who sifted through the piles of documents

AT the start of the school year, suburbia bursts with the sound of screeching violins, vocal calisthenics, terrible recorder renditions of London's Burning, and tuneless trumpet attempts of Skip to My Lou, which must be the most boring song of all time.

I'm blaming over-zealous band and music teachers with their misguided advice that everyone is musical if you give them a chance.

Tell that to Milli Vanilli.

Tell that to all those failed attempts on Australia's Got Talent, but Not This Week.

How many of us have sat through school concerts with the lead role performed by a kid who was selected because his mum sits on the P&C and gives great end-of-year Christmas presents.

Don't let little Sarah be fooled, Kevin.

It will just lead to a lifetime of disappointment for her and at least 12 years of hell for you.

Is she sporty?

Is she artistic?

These are extra-curricular activities that are a lot easier on the ear and probably the wallet, given you will have to pay for supplementary voice coaching.

One of my daughter's friends was told she could sing, and every car trip was a nightmare as she warbled and trilled her way from Port Stephens to Newcastle thinking she sounded like Mariah Carey when the reality was closer to the Eastern Screech Owl. Turning up the radio didn't help.

She knew the words to everything.

Should that be encouraged?

Go with your gut, Kevin.

Perhaps let your daughter research the average earnings of musical entertainers and then give her a golf club or a tennis racquet.

He failed, as the sandy soil was unsuitable for cropping and his cattle died from eating a poisonous plant.

His memory is preserved in a thoroughfare named 'Blackford Lane.'

And Bill?

After the bushfire, he was rehoused in Tanilba Shores retirement village before moving to a care facility on the

teacher of mathematics, a subject master and lecturer at both a teachers college and university level.

He was also a reserve officer in the army, attaining the rank of captain.

Keith Moody is a young cricketer from Stockton who just achieved a long sought-after goal.

By Tara CAMPBELL

AFTER playing cricket in Stockton since he was nine and cricket in the first grade competition in Newcastle for the past four years, Keith scored his maiden First Grade century, a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings by a batter.

“A hundred is hard to get, especially in first grade and I’ve gotten close so many times and it feels so great to finally get there,” said Keith.

With an impressive amount of cricket under his belt, Keith has even travelled overseas to England to play his sport and

travel for a year.

“In 2018 the year after I finished school, I went and had a season in the west midlands of England through a connection from a person who played in the Stockton club with us.

“I was only eighteen so it definitely taught me to grow up a bit.

“It was my first time living out of home, but the whole experience was incredibly eye-opening,” said Keith.

Keith earned his maiden First Grade century on 22 January with 131 runs after batting for nearly five hours. Congratulations Keith and best of luck with the remainder of the season.
