“We want young people to be engaged in their local communities and participate in grass-roots programs that will provide them with a platform to gain meaningful employment and learn new skills,” Mr Henskens said.

Minister for Mental Health, Regional Youth and Women Bronnie Taylor said the program is helping young people across the state reach their full potential.

“For almost a decade this program has engaged young people across regional NSW and a focus on jobs and skills this year will equip them with the tools they need for many years to come,” Mrs Taylor said.

"We as a family are very proud that Spencer has gotten to this moment.

“He has worked hard over the last five years since the Rio Olympics and during lockdown he moved back to Stockton, set himself up to train in the shed and got on the water when he could.

“He has shown great stamina and determination to continue through COVID-19.”

Hailing from Dungog, Spencer took up rowing at high school in Sydney and it wasn’t

Continuing his dedication to his training and work ethic, from 20132019 Spencer competed in a variety of international events, bringing home five World Championship medals and multiple World Cup medals before making his Olympic debut in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro games, where he earned a sixth place finish.

The Men’s Fours rowing team finished with an Olympic record less than half a second ahead of Romania and Italy in a tight finish.

Trauma Teddies

By Marian SAMPSON

WHEN things go wrong it is important for children to have something to comfort them.

But when a child is in an accident or is critically ill there is no time to stop and grab a much-loved toy to clutch.

This is where the Trauma Teddies step in.

There is a small army of people across the country knitting Trauma Teddies for children.

These Trauma Teddies are important for our front line workers as well as for the children who receive them.

Ambulance Officers, nurses and doctors can use the teddies to distract young patients while tests and procedures are conducted.

For parents these special teddies can be a much needed boost on a day when nothing is going the way it was planned.

Elaine Richards of Salt Ash is just one contributor to the

program.

Throughout the lockdown, Elaine’s knitting needles have been clicking away making Trauma Teddies.

Elaine Richards told News Of the Area, “I make the Trauma Teddies and they go to the Mother’s Union and then these are given to children when they need them.”

Elaine is going to hand over 13 Trauma Teddies at the next Mother’s Union meeting and all of these teddies made with love will help a child.

Karuah Rural Fire Brigade calls for volunteers

By Tara CAMPBELL

KARUAH Rural Fire Brigade are recruiting volunteers in the area.

After opening a $1.1 million fire station in late 2020, the NSW Rural Fire Service are looking for people to assist in the Karuah and Swan Bay community.

Secretary of the Karuah Rural Fire Brigade, Jenny Semple spoke to News Of The Area about the reasons volunteers get involved.

“People volunteer for all sorts of reasons: to help protect the community and gain a sense of self-worth, to meet like-

minded people and make friends or to gain training or learn new skills,” Ms Semple said.

The Karuah Rural Fire Brigade also assists in a number of community events including the Karuah Oyster Festival, Anzac Day events and services, Boot Sales, Get Ready Weekends, school education and New Year’s Eve safety.

The brigade attends a multitude of different calls from grass and bushfires to flood and storm damage and accidents, providing a number of opportunities for locals to get involved.

Stroke - Every Second Counts

By Marian SAMPSON

IT’S national stroke week.

In the event of a stroke, remember that time is the most important element to consider - every second counts.

Management of a stroke as soon as possible has a direct link to patient outcomes.

This Monday, 2 August, marked the start of National Stroke Week, an initiative aimed at raising awareness around stroke detection.

More than 56,000 strokes

will be experienced by Australians this year - that is one stroke every nine minutes.

Strokes are the leading cause of disability in Australia and the third most common cause of death, affecting 25% of working age Australians.

Unfortunately, despite these alarming statistics, many Australians don’t know the warning signs or how to help if they encounter someone suffering from a stroke.

This National Stoke Week,

St John Ambulance NSW want to change this.

A stroke occurs when there is a lack of oxygenated blood getting to the brain, which may be caused by a bleed or a clot in one of the arteries.

This can cause a variety of symptoms, and it’s important to recognise these signs fast, so you can act swiftly to minimise the damage caused.

St John Ambulance NSW, CEO, Sarah Lance says that the longer a stroke remains untreated, the greater the

chance of stroke-related brain damage.

“Strokes can often be difficult to detect, so knowing how to recognise when a stroke is happening is the first step. That recognition can mean the difference between life and death.

“This is where the FAST test comes in,” she said.

So, how do we identify the signs of a stroke?

It’s as simple as remembering the acronym F.A.S.T. Using the F.A.S.T test

www.newsofthearea.com.au involves asking these simple questions: FACE: Check their face.

Has their mouth dropped?

ARMS: Can they lift both arms?

SPEECH: Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?

TIME: Time is critical. If you see any of these signs, call 000 straight away.

The signs and symptoms of stroke are a sudden decrease in level of consciousness; weakness or paralysis, especially on one side of the body; feeling of numbness in face, arm or leg; difficulty speaking or

understanding; unexplained dizziness; disturbed vision; loss of balance; and confusion.

In an emergency, call triple zero (000) for an ambulance.

If you are able to assist someone while waiting for emergency services, be calm and reassure the patient.

For conscious patients; support their head and

For unconscious patients; place them in recovery position; and make sure that a call for an ambulance has been made on 000.

Strokes are often thought of as something that happens to older Australians but they can also affect younger people.

6 PORT STEPHENS NEWS OF THE AREA

media@newsofthearea.com.au

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare tells us, “In 2017–18, there were almost 40,000 acute care hospitalisations with a principal diagnosis of stroke, at a rate of 133 per 100,000 population.

“Acute care hospitalisation rates were higher among males than females (1.4 times as high), and most hospitalisations (73%) were for people aged 65 and over.

“The average length of stay for stroke patients in acute hospital care was 7 days in 2017–18. “Stroke patients in rehabilitation care had an average length of stay of 24 days.”

There is some good news, stroke is often preventable because many of its risk factors are modifiable.

“These include biomedical risk factors such as high blood pressure, insufficient physical activity, overweight and obesity, and tobacco smoking.

“Stroke contributes to premature death, disability, and preventable hospitalisations.”

Melanoma: Know the Risks and Protect Yourself

By Marian SAMPSON

‘SLIP, slop, slap, seek and wrap’ has been a mantra for Australians for many years.

Yet Port Stephens still has one of NSW’s highest rates of melanoma.

Port Stephens sits in a Cancer Council NSW HotSpot with Port Stephens being the thirteenth region on the list for prevalence of Melanoma in the state.

The NSW Cancer Council states, “All people in NSW are at a high risk of melanoma, but 95 percent of melanomas can be prevented.

“There are five easy ways to protect yourself from the sun: stay in the shade where possible; wear sun protective clothing; wear a broad-brimmed hat; wear sunglasses and wear sunscreen, and reapply it regularly.”

Between 2013 and 2017 melanoma was the third most prevalent cancer in NSW with 22786 cases diagnosed.

melanoma every 30 minutes and melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer.”

An estimated 1300 people will die from melanoma in Australia this year, with many of those diagnosed aged between 15 and 39 years of age.

Skin checks are vital to detect melanoma early.

Most general practitioners are able to perform a skin check or you can access more specialised services at a skin cancer check clinic or dermatologist.

“It is expected that 16,000 people will be diagnosed with melanoma this year.

By Marian SAMPSON DESPITE lockdowns and all that has been happening in the world it is time to stand and be counted.

The Census in Australia, officially the Census of Population and Housing, is the national census in Australia that occurs every five years.

The Census will be conducted on 10 August.

Five years ago, the 2016 Census showed 116,427 people across the country were without a safe, secure place to sleep at night.

Mission Australia CEO, James Toomey said, “Contrary to common belief, homelessness goes beyond those who we see sleeping on the streets or in their cars – in fact these people who were rough sleeping only made up seven per cent of the 116,000 people who were homeless on Census night five years ago.

“The bigger picture is that most people and families experiencing homelessness are hidden from plain sight.

“We know from the most recent Census data that the

majority are living in severely crowded dwellings, couch surfing temporarily with friends or family, or living in crisis accommodation, a shelter, refuge or boarding house.

“To gauge the severity of the problem in 2021 and better understand how COVID-19 and the housing crisis has affected homelessness numbers in Australia, we call on everyone who is living in insecure, unsafe and temporary places to participate in the Census and have their voices counted.

“For the Census data to truly reflect the extent of homelessness, it is important that everyone who is homeless – including those who may not previously have realised they’re homeless – report their living situation accurately.”

Mr Toomey says people should follow the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ advice to accurately report on their living situation on Census night.

They can do this by reporting their suburb as NONE and if they have no accommodation NONE CRISIS. “This applies to people who

Sadly there are people living in our region who will identify this way in the Census.

“By accurately reporting the scale of the homelessness problem in Australia, we can gain a greater understanding of what actions are sorely needed to end homelessness in our nation altogether.

“There are many reasons why people face homelessness – for some it’s family breakdown, domestic and family violence, job loss or financial or psychological distress, while for others it’s simply the sheer lack of affordable housing.

“Right now we know that there is a severe lack of available affordable rentals in regional, rural and remote areas.

The rental market in Port Stephens has squeezed out many and there is an acknowledged lack of affordable rental properties available for those in need.

Collaboration For Cleaner Energy

By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens businesses are leading the way in changing the way we produce and store energy.

Tomago’s Ampcontrol, LAVO and Boundary Power have confirmed a strategic partnership that will see them join together to develop innovative hydrogen solutions for solutions for standalone power supplies.

They will also be examining options for containerised power solutions for renewable energy projects, along with packaged power and battery solutions for data centre and industrial applications.

partnership and collaboration agreement between three innovative Australian companies is expected to

deliver a range of solutions to regional and remote power users, along with data centres and other energy intensive

changes that that generation had to accommodate.

Rogers’s description of the Bay, ably assisted by John (Stinker) Clark, who was part of the gathering and a teenager in those days, had the audience riveted to the presentation.

The revelation that wrapped the meeting in fascination for everybody, was the possibility of storage tunnels buried deep below the ground between fly point and Little Beach, this area, known as HMAS ASSAULT back in those days, was the main landing plus storage area for materials and supplies, and therefore the possibility of relics and equipment still being there is a juicy probability for the historians to ponder, and we hope, dig deeper and locate.

David Heath of the Probus Club of Port Stephens said, “We wish Roger and his band of enthusiasts well, - watch this space.”

To conclude the meeting Club President Phil Dodd had the pleasure of inducting new Probus members David and Barbara Kerr.

“The President then presented club member Peter Page with his twenty five year certificate and thanked Peter for his contribution to the ongoing success of the club,” he said.

David encourages visitors to attend as they are more than welcome to enjoy the activities and outings at Probus Club of Port Stephens.

Reminiscing About Uncle Sam in the Bay

By Marian SAMPSON

WINSTON Churchill on several occasions referenced “looking into the past to see the future”, and at the Probus Club of Port Stephens July meeting that reference came to light when local historian Roger Rigby, presented a fascinating picture of the American presence in the Bay in the nineteen forties, in the form of US Marines using the beaches for rehearsals for the coming European and the Pacific campaigns.

Time flies and development is a never slowing vehicle, but to be reminded of the Bay in those days, and the changing activities to accommodate the mass of men and materials that nations commit to warfare, is a jolt, and a reminder of the

Fish heart mangroves, mangroves heart fish

By Marian SAMPSON

LAST week we celebrated the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, a day set by UNESCO. Mangroves are a valuable asset for the atmospheric

mangroves play as habitat for fisheries, can provide greater rationale for their protection.

Commercial species such as Mangrove Jack, Barramundi, Mud Crabs and Banana Prawns, rely on Mangroves as their nursery habitat.

Locally Bream, Flathead, Blue Swimmer Crabs and Mud Crabs use the mangroves as nursery habitats.

A 2020 FRDC-funded study highlighted the role of mangroves as they support the productivity of prawn fisheries around NSW’s Wallis Lake.

The study used a methodology known as natural capital accounting which can be used to value the contribution of natural assets such as mangroves.

Environmental scientists Dr Becky Schmidt from CSIRO and Dr Ian Cresswell from the University of Newcastle developed this methodology from the business-focused Natural Capital Protocol and the UN’s System of Environmental Economic Accounting, to determine the connections between

ecosystem assets, society and the economy.

The research shows effective management of the whole system requires catchment and water management alongside fisheries management, so the direct impacts of both terrestrial and water-based users on the shared natural capital in the estuary can be considered.

Earlier projects, also funded by the FRDC, unravelled the

complicated relationships between fishery productivity and estuarine habitats in three NSW estuaries and developed tools to understand the mosaic of habitat types, including mangroves, utilised by different species.

Australia is home to seven per cent of the world's mangroves covering about 11,500 km2.

If we understand it better then we have a greater chance of protecting it and the life it supports.

MIDSOMER MURDERS

ABC, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

ISLE OF DOGS

7FLIX, 6.15pm

Say this stop-motion sci-fi comedy’s title quickly enough and you’ll hear the adorable hidden meaning behind Wes Anderson’s canine caper, “I love dogs”. The stylish and surprisingly political affair follows 12-yearold Atari (voice of Koyu Rankin) and his dog Spots (Liev Schreiber), who have been separated after a public health order in the fictional city of Megasaki amid an outbreak of dog flu saw the mayor deport all dogs to an island of landfill. The bizarre setting quickly gives way to a heartfelt tale as Atari teams up with five exiled pups (Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldblum, Bob Balaban and Bill Murray) to scour the island for his best friend.

Twenty-two seasons in and the Midsomer Murders team still have no shortage of creative ways to off the residents of Causton and its surrounds.

The series’ sinister slayings have taken a turn for the bizarre since leaving Caroline Graham’s series of books behind, with weapons including a massive wheel of cheese, flying wine bottles, a tumble dryer and even porridge.

Tonight’s offering includes a grisly discovery at the Midsomer Scarecrow Festival in the village of Little Upton, when bodies begin appearing on poles alongside locals’ straw creations. Unperturbed, DCI John (Neil Dudgeon, right) Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) are on the case.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE

PRIME7, 7.30pm

Just like the old high-school reunion is a hotbed of gossip and I-didn’t-seethat-coming moments, you can guarantee that any reality TV get-together isn’t just for a friendly, “Hello, how have you been?”. Tonight’s lively reunion for the formerly lonely farmers and the lasses searching for “the one” promises to be a roller-coaster of emotions, with tears sure to be a feature, along with a parade of surprised faces. Host Natalie Gruzlewski returns to corral the lovedup and broken-hearted as they reveal what has transpired since the show wrapped up months ago. Eagle-eyed fans have already spotted that Matt has had his teeth done, but will anything else important have changed?

It Only Takes One

By Marian SAMPSON

THERE’s a local lady making a very big difference in our community.

Sheralyn Skelton is a plogger.

Plogging is the combination of two words: “jogging” and the Swedish phrase for pick up, “plocka upp”.

Plogging is exercising while you make a difference.

Importantly, plogging is an activity that can be undertaken while maintaining your social distance.

Sheralyn’s recent efforts

bagging up rubbish alongside the road at Tomaree Sport Fields last week have created a bit of a stir.

This is just one place where this local conducts plogging.

The NOTA first caught up with her last year on a plogging walk that took her from Shoal Bay to Nelson Bay along the foreshore.

Sheralyn Skelton told News Of The Area, “I’d like to thank everyone acknowledging my efforts, from people in cars, young people at skate park and on bikes, also the adults on bikes, and walkers.

“Thanks to the mum and daughter who gave a special thanks, and the mother who helped clean up the mangroves she also gave me a special thanks.”

For Sheralyn, receiving thanks for her clean up efforts is very much appreciated.

“People have stopped and had a chat to me on my walkabouts from Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay, Nelson Bay, Dutchies Beach, (and told me) that they have also picked up bottles, cans and rubbish from beaches and surrounding areas.

“You know who you are, and I just wanted to

acknowledge you all and a big thankyou.

“I urge people to take notice of the sides of the roads when travelling, especially on the highways.

“There must be a solution to this problem of removing this rubbish,” she said.

Alicia Cameron, founder of Plastic Free Port Stephens said, “Plogging is a win-win for energy levels, fitness and the environment.

“We encourage any activities that remove litter and reduce its likelihood of ending up in waterways.

“Good on her!” she said.

Clean Up Australia Day is currently taking registrations for a Plogathon you can find out more on their website.

Medowie local shines in Jersey Boys

By Tara CAMPBELL JARROD Sansom is preparing for his lead role as Nick Massi in The Very Popular Theatre Company’s production of Jersey Boys this October.

Based in Medowie, Jarrod always put his sports and academia first and foremost, committing to only one production/ show per year since finishing high school.

Jersey Boys will be Jarrod’s first show at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle and first major musical theatre production.

Directed by Nicholas Christo with Dan Wilson as music director, Jersey Boys has already pushed Jarrod out of his comfort zone with complicated harmonies and choreography.

After originally auditioning for a

different character, Jarrod was given a call back for two lead characters, before successfully being cast as Nick Massi, the bass singer of the Four Seasons.

“I really wanted to be in a big show but I’ve never had to dance before and I can’t read music, so when we got into the first rehearsals I was really challenged,” he told News Of The Area.

Despite only two rehearsals so far, Jarrod has already learned every song of the show.

“What I lack in experience, I make up for in repetition,” Jarrod said.

Jarrod spoke about the difficulties of COVID-19 with the production.

“It’s been hard because our director and our lead, Frankie Valli (played by Jayden Sierra) are stuck in Sydney and can’t get here because of restrictions, so we haven’t even met them yet,” Jarrod said.

Winner of Best Musical at both the Tony Awards® and Olivier Awards, the musical biography, Jersey Boys tells the story of a 40year friendship.

“Jersey Boys is so dynamic and so challenging, it’s a very fastpaced musical and you’re constantly up and about- it’s going to be a great show,” Jarrod said.

The show is set to take the Civic Theatre stage from 8 October until 23 October 2021 with a range of matinees and evening performances.

NEWS OF THE AREA

3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 garage Approximately 1948 sqm

OWN your personal absolute waterfront home on the beautiful foreshore of Port Stephens.

Enjoy sunrise over the cove with your morning cuppa, cool off in the bay summer and boat from your own backyard year-round.

This absolute waterfront property looks east across the water, which features a collection of water- craft all enjoying the safety of this protected inlet known as North Arm Cove.

Set on a large 1948 sqm level lot, this single level 3 bedroom dwelling is more than comfortable to use as is; but also presents a wonderful opportunity to improve in years to come.

Almost every room in this house has water views!

The living areas are open plan and generously proportioned. Polished timber floors, high ceilings and views to the waterway ensure connection to the surrounds.

The kitchen is large, with plenty of space, an island with a live edge timber top, the clever use of timber giving this a rustic feel that is in keeping

with the overall ambient.

Featuring a Belling oven & stove (gas cook top) and a Bosch dishwasher.

A walk-in pantry has been well thought out and includes its own split system air conditioner to keep things at a constant temperature, by the way this would make the perfect butler’s pantry!

The southern side of the house has 2 large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes plus views of the water; and both have sliding door access to the outdoor timber verandah.

This side also features the larger of the 2 bathrooms with a full size bath-tub.

On the northern side is the third bedroom and another room.

This is currently used as a study and craft room with built in desk cabinetry - but could be whatever you want it to be - study; parent's retreat; a nursery; or even a fourth bedroom.

The verandah runs the width of the house and can be accessed from all 4 bedrooms as well as the living areas.

This is probably where you will spend most of your time.

The front entry also features another covered verandah and an attached

oversized garage with internal access and plenty of storage space.

The property runs beside Water St - a small public access way to the water with a launching ramp – offering a

generous buffer zone between your other neighbours.

Extras include: 4 x split system air conditioning, slow combustion fireplace, ceiling fans, and transpiration septic system.

One huge bonus is that the property boundary extends over 10 meters past the seawall into the waterway - allowing for an extensive future slipway if needed.

With so much waterfront land

on offer this will be in high demand - so call us today to organise a viewing and to register your interest.

Focus on housing solutions for Homelessness Week

q Sally Regan from Hume Housing, Mayor Ryan Palmer and Ann Fletcher from Port Stephens Family and Neighbourhood Services.

EVERYBODY needs a home and there are ways communities can help — that’s the message this Homelessness Week, which runs from 1 to 7 August 2021.

In Australia, there are over 116,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night.

Locally, Assistant Manager of Port Stephens Family and Neighbourhood Services Ann

Fletcher says they helped 848 people experiencing homelessness in the past financial year including 317 children under the age of 16.

“Homelessness can often be hidden — because this is a holiday area we expect people to be free camping or sleeping in their cars.

“People might think they’re just here on a holiday but really they could potentially be a homeless

14 PORT STEPHENS NEWS OF THE AREA

person.

“Couch-surfing is particularly common for young people, who crash at a friend’s place but don’t have a place to live themselves.

“Then of course, there’s the domestic violence rate in our area, which is the main reason for homelessness for women and their children,” she said.

Hume Community Housing

media@newsofthearea.com.au

provides homes and services to people in Port Stephens.

The number of people accessing temporary accommodation in Port Stephens through Hume last financial year was 320, with a further 1,264 enquiries.

Sally Regan, Hume’s Senior Manager Social Outcomes, says temporary accommodation is in short supply in Port Stephens.

“The only temporary accommodation vendor we have been able to engage in Port Stephens is based in Raymond Terrace, which many people calling from the Bay area do not or cannot travel to — hence the difference between the 2 figures,” she said.

Mayor Ryan Palmer says Port Stephens Council is encouraging the community to get behind housing as a solution to ending homelessness.

“It’s really important that we all understand the impact that homelessness has on our community.

There are also ways some people may be able to help practically.

“If you own a property in Port Stephens, you could help low income and disadvantaged households access housing through headleasing.

“Headleasing is when an owner leases a property to a community housing provider, which then sub-leases the property to clients approved for social housing.

“There are so many benefits — the provider pays full market rent and bond, they cover maintenance and repairs, you don’t need to pay for a property manager and you have

guaranteed income for the length of the lease.

“By headleasing your property, you have secure rental income while helping change a family’s life.

Your investment property can be a stepping-stone to long term housing stability, career prospects and a brighter future for someone in our community.

“It’s really a win for the property owner and a win for our community,” he said.

Ms Regan says Hume is always looking for more housing options in Port Stephens.

“We have a 30 year track record of managing properties including headleasing for private landlords and are a trusted and safe pair of hands.

“We treat your property as if it was our own including managing all aspects of tenancy management together with property maintenance and repairs.

“Importantly, we ensure our customers are successful in their tenancies as our goal is to provide opportunities for people to prosper. If a tenant needs additional support, we link them with appropriate services.

We make sure it’s a win-win for landlords and tenants,” she said.

with

Jasminda Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au Dear Jasminda,

I am so sick of hearing about Coronavirus every day. It is like a never-ending disaster movie. How do we cope?

Mrs Helen P Dear Helen,

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!

$862,000 for Accelerating Events Economies project

THE Hunter Joint Organisation (JO) has received a $862,000 grant towards their Accelerating Event Economies (A2E) Project through the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery (BLER) Fund run by the NSW Government.

The Hunter Region already has fantastic event capability; however, there is potential for bigger and better events at a regional scale.

This project is focused on unlocking that potential.

A2E will focus on driving economic recovery through identifying systems and processes that will make regional coordination and collaboration simpler and more effective.

These systems and processes will enable the Hunter JO and member councils to collaborate on the potential of creating and delivering a region-wide events.

Cr Bob Pynsent, Chair of the Hunter JO and Mayor of Cessnock, said this funding will be paramount to boosting the tourism industry.

“The Hunter region has so much to offer across our ten council areas, and this project presents a great opportunity for our councils to collaboratively and cohesively promote the region, enabling economic recovery in the aftermath of the bushfires and floods we have experienced over the last two years,” said Cr Bob Pynsent.

“By using a regional lens to focus on visitor economies and event attraction, we can enable economic stimulus across the whole of the Hunter, with positive benefits for all of our communities.”

The A2E project will deliver outcomes through establishing a regional partner

Swanson: M1 Delays “not good enough” MEMBER for Paterson, Meryl Swanson, has welcomed the progress of the M1 Pacific Motorway extension but has raised concerns with the State Government’s timeline.

“I am pleased that detailed concept designs have now been released and welcome the opportunity for locals to have their say on the Environmental Impact Statement, Ms Swanson said.

“Like many in the community

Thursday, 5 August 2021

I feel this project is vital to our region’s prosperity and am deeply frustrated by the continued delays.

“The NSW Government’s own timeline has blown this project's completion date out to 2028 and it's simply not good enough.

“Work on this project should have started two years ago when the government first matched Labor’s commitment to build this vital piece of

infrastructure.

“We know our region is hurting as a result of the pandemic, fast tracking the M1 will ensure more than 2,700 jobs that will deliver a mass stimulus to our local economy over a period of 5 years.”

In June Meryl Swanson hosted Catherine King MP, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure to reaffirm Labor’s continued

task group, undertaking an Events and Opportunities Audit, and creating destination and event management resources required at a regional scale.

These actions are projected to result in a range of positive social and economic outcomes and public benefits for the Hunter region. A2E will aim to strengthen the region’s collective voice as a visitor and event destination, increase the capacity of Councils through shared resources, and enable councils to collaboratively pitch for major events.

Mayor of MidCoast Council, Cr David West, sees the project as an opportunity to rebuild, shoring up the economic resilience of the Hunter’s communities.

“Our communities within MidCoast have been severely impacted by bushfires and floods, and we are still recovering, as are many other communities across the Hunter region; the Hunter JO’s Accelerating Event Economies Project offers opportunities to support that recovery,” said Cr David West.

“Additionally, the focus on increasing tourism throughout the region will help support local businesses and communities as they rebuild, not only from bushfires and floods, but as we deal with the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Regional growth and economic diversification throughout the Hunter region has been a key focus area of the Hunter JO’s Regional Policy and Programs Division.

This funding from the BLER Fund, will contribute to the Hunter JO’s collaboration with its member councils and their ability to deliver efficiency savings that attract events economies and recovery from the Bushfires. commitment to seeing the M1 delivered.

“A future Labor government will not only fast track this project but will ensure it employee’s local workers first.”

It is overwhelming, isn't it. Day in, day out. Waiting for 11am, which used to be reserved for morning tea and perhaps a piece of cake but is now the hour when we wait for the pressers and the politicians to announce the latest set of figures. It can feel quite relentless, so instead of my usual cynicism and devil-may-care attitude, I've decided to offer the advice I'm trying to stick to, which has been gleaned from a range of different sources.

Limit the amount of time you listen to the news.

This may seem a weird thing to recommend from a column in a newspaper, but really, you can absorb all the Coronavirus news you require in a very short time span. Just allocate 10-15 minutes a day instead of dipping into newsfeeds every waking moment.

There's very little good news around in the headlines and it can become quite depressing.

Try to find one thing you enjoy and devote an hour a day to it. It may be playing a board game with your kids (if anyone finds that enjoyable) or gardening or going for a walk along the beach or drawing or listening to your favourite music. It's important to have something to look forward to.

There are a lot of polarising views at the moment on social media, so I'd suggest removing yourself from conversations or threads that are just going to upset you. There will be countless perspectives and ideologies floating around and if someone has a very firm view, there's not a whole lot of point trying to change it. It is better to perhaps unfollow anyone who is making you clench your teeth so tightly that you are discovering your jawline again.

Try a book. Books don't argue back. Books don't have a comments section. Books can take you into an alternate world and give you a chance to inhabit a different experience. If reading isn't your thing, maybe try a podcast. There are some incredibly inspiring people around and listening to them can help your own frame of mind.

I hope this helps a bit, Helen. Thanks for your question.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

Diversity on the Karuah Bowls greens

By Trevor DAVIES

LAWN Bowls, while an easy game to learn and play can at the same time be simple and complicated.

It’s also true that it has many variations upon its main theme.

Trevor Barclay, Karuah Bowls Clubs Senior Umpire agrees, saying, “While It's true that you always want your bowl to be closest to the jack, there are many ways of achieving that depending on which game you are playing.”

Bowlers can play in teams

of four, three in triples, two in pairs and one in singles.

Each of those games can be either of mixed genders, or of only one gender.

Karuah Bowls Club Game Secretary Stephen ‘Gillie’ Gilchrist said, “That to make it even more interesting, each style of the different varieties can be played with a different number of bowls, four, three, two or in a game newly introduced, only one bowl per bowler, each end.”

This last weekend, Karuah Bowlers played a particularly popular variety of this great game, mixed pairs.

In this fast paced game, one bowler of each gender is in each team and players four bowls in two separate turns at the mat per end.

Karuah Roos and Rooettes

By Sonja EVANS

THE Roos travelled to Clarencetown on Saturday to take on the Cobras.

In what was a must win game for both teams in the race to make the semi-finals, both teams turned up to play.

The game started with some hard hitting defence from both teams until Clarencetown broke through with the opening try from a high kick.

With the conversion successful, Clarencetown took a six nil lead.

In what was a defensive style game the Cobras scored another try through a kick and converted to take an early 12-0 lead.

In the hot weather the game was played in quarters.

After the resumption of the second quarter, with play going from one end of the field to the other, the Roos broke through just before half time.

Luke Perry put a kick over the top, regathered and scored next to the posts for Sam Croese to convert.

The Cobras took a 12-6 lead into the main break.

The second half started like the first, with Clarencetown scoring two quick tries, but missing both conversion attempts.

This took the Cobras lead to 20-6 before the Roos then gained some much needed ball and momentum.

With some slick backline play Luke Perry put Adam Crampton away down the sideline for the first of his two tries with a conversion attempt successful from Sam Croese to take the score to 20-12 in favour of the Cobras.

With some punishing defence from Mitchell Napier, Tyson Peters Josh White, Neil Baker and Nathan Ritzau the Roos began to build some pressure and with eight minutes left on the clock Pat Maloney made a decisive run into the defence line and got an offload away to Dwayne Fleming who went over to score, taking the score to 2016.

From the kick off with three minutes to go Adam

and Hawks were deadlocked at nil all as some steadfast defence rattled a few bones.

The game seemed to be a piggys paradise in the first half, but as both teams tired around the ruck the paddock opened up for the backs.

When the Hawks unlocked the account to go up 7 nil in the second stanza the Gropers rallied around some heavy attacking raids with Cameron Rouse, Jordan Byfield and Shane Jarvis providing the artillery.

Finally the Hawks cracked on their line and

flashy flanker Samuel Rocher sniffed out the white line for the Gropers with Myles Eckersley adding the extras to lock it up 7 to 7.

From here it was all over though as the Hawks cleared the pine and their big reserves steamed on to roll the Gropers across the park.

Samuel Rocher said the Hawks were just too big and strong on the day.

“The work rate of Hamilton was impressive and their big forwards really had us stretched at stages,” said Rocher.

and their professionalism showed.”

In some positive news the Gropers reserve grade squad got the chocolates over the Hawks winning 29 to 24.

Jack Vincent grabbed a brace for the angry fish with Rhys York and Tim Waters massaging a few opposition melons on the pitch.

In thirds the Medowie Marauders drew with the Hawks 26-a-piece.

The Gropers are back at home this Saturday taking on Maitland from 12:30pm.

Crampton went in to score his second try of the day taking the score to twenty all.

With the crowd in his ear Sam Croese stepped up to take the conversion attempt as the full time siren rang.

Sam put the ball through the posts to give Karuah what looked like an unlikely victory 22-20 against a tough Cobras outfit.

Unfortunately Karuah player Jake Langdon suffered what looks like broken ribs for the second time this season in what was a very physically tough game and we all wish him speedy recovery.

Player’s player three points Mitch Napier, two points Adam Crampton and one point Neil Baker, Coaches

Award Josh White and Sponsors Choice was Tyson Peters.

Meanwhile, the Rooettes were at home against Abermain Hawks, and the game day sponsors were Karuah Quality Meats and Tile in Style.

The Rooettes Kayla Campbell was first to score and Ebony Oakley converted for 6-0.

Lexi Beaton was unstoppable running in two tries before halftime and with Ebony converting the halftime score was Karuah 18 Abermain 0.

Second half saw Robyn Draper cross the line, Ebony converting 24-0.

Then Lexi went in for her hat trick and Ebony converted another for 30/0.

Captain Tamara Lilley was next to score and with Ebony's boot on fire to convert her

Kay Freeman, the Ladies President at Karuah said, “Anyone who thinks that bowls is a sedentary sport should try mixed pairs, 84 bowls and 42 trips up and then back on the green can be quite a work out.”

Long story short, there is a game of bowls for every one.

As well as both genders, there is huge diversity on bowling greens.

Ages vary from primary schoolers through to the odd pensioner, all cultures, ethnicities and drinking habits are accepted and catered for.

If you’d like to give the game a try, simply ring the Club at Karuah, you will be made very welcome.

sixth try of the day to take the full time score to Karuah 36 Abermain 0.

Players Player three points went to Chantelle Gallagher, two points to Tamara Lilley and one point to Robyn Draper. Coaches Award was Kayla Campbell and Sponsors Choice was Lexi Beaton.

Next Saturday is the last double header at home for the season with the Rooettes taking on Dora Creek kicking off at 1.30 and the Roos taking on top of the table Stroud kicking off at 3pm.

It will also be our Old Boys Day, followed by a Benefit night at the Yacht Club for Ben Langdon's girls.

There will be a 2021 Storm signed jersey up for auction on the night as well as a monster raffle with lots of prizes and games to be won.
