Federal Funding Recognises Veterans' Service In Paterson FROM Page 1 sacrifice of our veterans.

Importantly these funds are delivered to the community and are not dependent on Federal Election results. “These local organisations and our veterans are worthy of our sincere and profound respect and their organisations are instrumental to our local community and helping us commemorate the service and sacrifice of those from the region who have given so much for a

grateful nation,” Ms Vitnell said. “It is vital that our wartime history is preserved and the sacrifice of those who have served during wars, conflicts and peace operations is remembered. “I am extraordinarily proud of the history of service in the Paterson electorate and these projects are a wonderful way for us to commemorate and reflect on the sacrifice of all those who have served from our communities,” Ms Vitnell added.

St Vincent de Paul Society. Recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals inflation rose 2.1 per cent in the March quarter, up 5.1 per cent over the past year. As the ABS states, these are the largest quarterly and annual rises since the introduction of the goods and services tax (GST). St Vincent de Paul Society’s National President Claire Victory said ballooning household costs come during an election in which the most vulnerable people in the community have largely been forgotten. “This neglect was shown by the brutal decision of both major parties to leave JobSeeker at $46 a day, which holds recipients well beneath the poverty line and exposed to rising cost of living pressures.

Kate Washington MP Member for Port Stephens

“Expecting people to survive on $46 a day is cruel. “It demonstrates a lack of understanding, or care, for people doing it tough and the growing challenge of making ends meet as prices for basic goods surge. “Whichever party wins government next month will be forced to urgently address this issue unless they want to preside over a ballooning poverty crisis,” Ms Victory said. Ms Victory said caution from both parties about increasing the national debt was understandable, which is why the St Vincent de Paul Society commissioned modelling to demonstrate budget-neutral options available to fund changes that would release Australians from poverty en masse. “Our research shows Australia can easily fund a significant boost to JobSeeker, alongside an increase in Commonwealth Rent Assistance, by making simple and affordable changes to our tax and welfare system. “The only problem is we lack political leaders with the courage to countenance such a plan,” Ms Victory said. “Our modelling shows you could release over a million Australians from poverty through minor changes to capital gains tax and superannuation tax that would only marginally affect the very highest incomeearners. “Australia contains both incredible wealth and heartbreaking poverty. “Our incapacity to fix one with the other is a failure of politics, not a budgetary restraint,” Ms Victory said. Meryl Swanson, Member for Paterson, told News Of The Area, “Everything is going up except people’s wages, and the Morrison Government has no long-term plan.” She welcomed short-term help, declar-

ing it necessary, but believes that long-term action is needed to help all Australians. “Labor has a plan to address cost-of-living pressures through our policies on cheaper childcare, cheaper electricity, lifting wages and making more things here in Australia. “The full-blown cost-of-living crisis we are in is Scott Morrison’s doing. “International developments in 2022 don’t explain or excuse a decade of Coalition attacks on wages and job security. “Workers deserve a decent pay rise, and we certainly reject calls from employers to freeze the minimum wage,” she said. Liberal candidate for Paterson, Brooke Vitnell said, “The Liberal National Government is providing real cost of living relief, including relief to assist Australians in achieving that proud dream of homeownership, for some with a deposit of as little as two percent. “The plan will help more first home buyers get a deposit by raising the number of low-deposit guarantees for first home buyers to 35,000 each year; build more homes in regional Australia by providing 10,000 low-deposit guarantees each financial year for those moving to, or within, regional areas; help single parent families buy a home by increasing the number of low-deposit guarantees to 5,000 each financial year; ensure Australians can continue to have choice when purchasing their home by increasing the property price caps for the Home Guarantee Scheme; and back more investment into affordable housing with an additional $2 billion in low-cost financing to support social and affordable dwellings,” she said.

IMOP endorse Angela Ketas for Paterson By Tara CAMPBELL IN the upcoming Federal Election, the Informed Medical Options Party (IMOP) has endorsed Angela Ketas as their candidate for Paterson. Angela has a background in health and law, as a registered nurse and a barrister defending human, environmental and animal rights. For the past ten years, Angela has worked for

an independent school, supporting it in all aspects of school safety and child protection and is trained as a child protection investigator. Angela believes that one of her strengths is risk analysis. “I worked on the Gretley Colliery inquiry and it was here that I gained foundational skills in risk analysis and risk management,” Ms Ketas told News Of The Area. Passionate about human rights, health choices and alternatives to mainstream education, Angela states that she has spent much of her life

standing up for those who do not have a voice. “I’ve personally witnessed the devastation caused by the draconian measures that have been forced on my community in recent times. “I’m running for the upcoming election in order to give those people who have been feeling disenfranchised by the current government a voice in parliament; it’s time we had human beings in parliament representing the needs of the people and not the interests of big corporations,” Ms Ketas said.

One Nation’s Neil Turner runs for fifth time By Tara CAMPBELL

NEIL Turner is a member of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party and is running for the seat of Paterson in the upcoming Federal Election. Working as a manufacturing tradesman for many years and as a graduate of a Diploma of Business Management, Neil believes he has what it takes to get things done; thinking outside the box to support the community. “I am running in the upcoming election because I am passionate about advancing Australia and promoting innovation, prosperity and respect. “I want to stand up for our industry and promote a climate where we use our comparative advantage in what we do best without the shackles of red tape and high electricity costs - where innovation can make our lives

core subjects of learning,” Mr Turner said. As a long-time member of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, he also serves as the NSW State President for the Party, and this upcoming election will be his fifth as a candidate. Mr Turner has passionate ideas on electricity and is concerned about unreliability and high electricity costs. “Our electricity prices have increased consecutively over the years and due to both the push for Net Zero emissions and the closure of coal mines and coal fired power stations, we face heading in the direction of unreliable and higher electricity costs. “Coal fired power stations currently make up at least greater than 60 percent of the energy requirements and until renewables can replace that economically without subsidies, we need to keep coal and build new modern high efficiency lower emission power stations,'' he

said. Neil says that he is running in the election to make a positive change. “The Paterson electorate has been long forgotten in areas of infrastructure both road and rail planning and our growing areas are becoming gridlocked due to lack of infrastructure. “I would like to see planning for increased rail for the area with a rail link to the Newcastle Airport and feasibility study for future rail links to Nelson Bay, Raymond Terrace and Medowie,” Mr Turner said. He is a strong supporter of religious freedom and the Medicare system, opposing the increase to 70 years of age for the pension entitlement, believing that pensioners should be able to earn up to $13,000 without reducing their pension. “I lobby hard to achieve favourable outcomes and will continue to do this throughout my campaign and if elected,” he said.

United Australia Party to contest Paterson seat By Tara CAMPBELL

THE United Australia Party, led by Clive Palmer, has endorsed Jason Olbourne as their candidate for Paterson. Mr Olbourne holds a degree in Political Science and hosts a program on alternative internet radio station Today’s News Talk and a video show called ‘World Series News’. Mr Olbourne is also the creator of A Million Mums for Informed Consent, which describes itself as “an organization aimed at educating and empowering parents about vaccine safety”. In the upcoming election, Mr Olbourne says he is running to protect

Australian children. “I am running for my children; for all our children,” he told News Of The Area. “After two years of uncertainty and COVID carnage, we have more questions than answers, not limited to $1 trillion in government debt, rising inflation, supply shortages and geo-political uncertainty. “We need a broad big picture approach to look ahead and around corners in order to plan for what is ahead,” he said. Mr Olbourne said that one of the large issues that the Hunter is facing is the “uncertainty around coal and the flip flopping of major parties”.

and raise the Aged Pension $180 a fortnight. In addition to this, he hopes to cancel the Fringe Benefits Tax to boost hospitality, restaurants and cafes destroyed over the past two years and cancel Provisional Tax to release $90 billion back into the economy, making taxes payable at year’s end instead. The United Australia Party also aims to end vaccine mandates and stop the creation of a Digital ID, create an Australian Bill of Rights and bring in a Federal Integrity Commission or ICAC. “This election is unlike any other in our history. “For the first time ever, we are seeing the emergence of an organised minority party movement that is transparent, co-operative and enthusiastic which is reversing the traditional political apathy of Australian voters. “What you can smell in the air are the winds of political change,” he said.

“It is clear that Hunter Valley coal is the world’s best and most efficient, and we must sell that to China and India going forward or they will be forced to buy less efficient coal from Indonesia or the USA,” he said. If elected, Mr Olbourne hopes to introduce three percent capped mortgage interest rates for five years to save people’s homes as inflation bites hard. He also hopes to pay down $1 trillion in government debt using a fifteen percent iron ore export licence to curb inflation, bring back $1 trillion in overseas super for investment in Australia, cancel HECS debt and reinstate free university and TAFE,

Alongside the above policies, Louise believes that Australia’s treatment of refugees is “disgraceful” and a “stain on our collective humanity”. “It is not illegal to seek asylum - seeing people as the other and yelling at refugees does not sit well with me, and I will fight for change so we can achieve justice for First Nations Peoples and those who seek refuge in our beautiful country. “As the Greens candidate for Paterson and with the Greens in the balance of power, I will fight for a better future for all Australians,” Ms Ihlein said.

Man charged following Salt Ash crash By Tara CAMPBELL

A MAN has been charged following a two-vehicle crash near Salt Ash in April. At approximately 3.25pm on Tuesday 5 April 2022, emergency services were called to Nelson Bay Road near

Marsh Road, following reports a Subaru sedan and a Honda SUV had collided head-on. The passenger in the SUV, an 80-year-old woman, was trapped for a short time before being airlifted to John Hunter Hospital suffering critical leg injuries and five others, including

the 78-year-old driver of the SUV and the 32-year-old driver of the sedan were all treated at the John Hunter Hospital for minor injuries. All three passengers from the passengers in the sedan, including two children aged two and five and a 31-year-old were uninjured. Local emergency servic-

es including NSW SES Port Stephens were activated by Police. On arrival, SES stabilised the vehicles and used hydraulic rescue tools including, cutters, spreaders and combi tool to perform a side removal on one of the vehicles. Officers from Port Ste-

phens-Hunter Police District established a crime scene, which was examined by specialist police from the Crash Investigation Unit. Following investigations, the 78-year-old man attended Newcastle Police Station where he was arrested on Thursday 28 April 2022. The man was charged

with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, two counts of causing bodily harm by misconduct, negligent driving, and not keeping left of dividing line. He was granted conditional bail to appear before Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 23 May 2022.

passed, but still Dolly, all 600 kilos of her, lay trapped in the drain. Then, as her human family looked on, and with rescuers still working hard to free her, without a complaint or sound, Dolly passed away, the prolonged stress taking its toll. Regardless, rescuers worked on, retrieving Dolly from her watery entrapment, returning her to her human family for burial in her favourite paddock. Marine Rescue On 26 April, Marine Rescue Port Stephens received a request for assistance from an 8m cabin runabout which was grounded near d’Albora Marina. After recording details, Skipper Brian with crew Jeff and Brad headed out to the grounded vessel. The vessel was on the sand bar and was not able to be towed off and PS30 headed back to her berth

with the two people on board and until 4:30pm at high tide to head back onto the water Once on scene crew Jeff and Brad, with quick line work, soon had the vessel under tow. Inshore Prawn trawlers NSW DPI Fisheries Officers from the Hunter District Office recently assisted NSW Water Police Marine Area Command in a joint agency operation boarding inshore prawn trawlers in Stockton Bight just north of Newcastle. Officers from Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) also took part in the investigation. A number of prawn trawlers were boarded from two Water Police tactical response vessels. All trawler operators were found to be complying with NSW Fisheries regulations, however NSW DPO reminds locals to report illegal activity on the Fisherwatch phone line on 1800 043 536.

Emergency Services Update By Tara CAMPBELL

International Firefighters Day THIS week Medowie Rural Fire Brigade held an International Firefighters/St Florian’s day service. Members from Williamtown/Salt Ash Rural Fire Brigade and Fire and Rescue Stockton attended the service to recognise and honour the sacrifices that firefighters across the world make to ensure communities and our environment are as safe as possible. It’s also a day in which current and past firefighters are thanked for their contributions. At noon local time on the first Sunday in May each year, fire brigades sound their sirens for thirty seconds followed by a minute’s silence, in memory of and respect for all firefighters who have been lost in the line of duty or have passed

on.

“We pride ourselves in the service that we are able to provide to the community but know that we wouldn't be able to provide that service without the help of firefighters from brigades everywhere and we thank them for serving with us,” a representative from Medowie Rural Fire Brigade said. School Bus Safety NSW Police are reminding residents to take extra care around buses as children make their way to and from school. Under advice from NSW Road Safety, they remind everyone to slow down around buses, whether the lights are flashing or not as there can be children around. Drivers should keep plenty of space when driving or stopping around buses to keep children safe and improve bus drivers’ vision

of the road environment. Anzac Day Long Weekend Over the ANZAC Day long weekend there were a number of alcohol-related incidents in the Port Stephens Hunter Police District. - Security at a licensed premises ejected two heavily intoxicated people from the location. The people assaulted security, and, when police officers attended, they assaulted police. Both have been charged. - Five people assaulted three victims after all eight persons were ejected from a licensed premises. The offenders allegedly hid in bushes outside and set upon the victims as they were exiting. Inquiries are continuing. - A male victim attempted to intervene in an assault at a licensed premises. An unidentified male

person then punched the victim in the face, rendering him unconscious. The victim received treatment at John Hunter Hospital. Inquiries are continuing. Dolly the Horse On the morning of ANZAC Day, Raymond Terrace SES and Port Stephens Hunter Police were called to a 22-year-old Clydesdale, Dolly, who found herself caught in an open drain in her paddock at Raymond Terrace. Dolly was well and truly stuck, with her right hind leg firmly entangled in vegetation on the bottom. She patiently persisted with SES personnel poking and prodding her, putting slings around her, and desperately trying to free her from her predicament, obviously knowing that her human friends were trying to help her.

Helipad Refused

q Local community members gathered to share concerns over the potential development adjacent to the Anna Bay Lawn Cemetery. Photo: Marian Sampson.

By Marian SAMPSON

IN what is being heralded a win for the community, a proposed helipad at Anna Bay has been refused by Port Stephens Council. It was community member Max Stoker who originally raised widespread awareness of the proposal, and the baton was taken up by many who held concerns over the development. The Tomaree Residents and Ratepayers Association congratulated the community for seeing the development stopped, and are hailing the result as a win for people power. The development application was refused by Council on multiple grounds, including that the proposed development is inconsistent with the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 and

Port Stephens Local Environmental Plan 2013. Council also deemed the development would be likely to detract from the rural character of the locality and

impact the surrounding land uses negatively. The development was considered likely to have a negative social impact on the locality and the development

Cabbage Tree Road upgrade Works underway for multimillion-dollar upgrade to Cabbage Tree Road By Tara CAMPBELL RESIDENTS in Williamtown will soon be enjoying smoother and safer journeys along Cabbage Tree Road with a multimillion dollar safety upgrade about to get underway. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Barnaby Joyce, said the Australian and NSW governments are jointly funding this $4 million upgrade through the Road Safety Program to provide a stronger, longer lasting and safer road. “Cabbage Tree Road is an important link to the Newcastle Airport and RAAF Base at Williamtown, which is used by about 8,862 vehicles each day including 1,772 heavy vehicles,” the Deputy Prime Minister said. “Improving safety along

this 2.6-kilometre section between Nelson Bay Road and Barrie Close is important for locals, business and tourists as there have been eleven crashes between 2013 and 2018.” Mr Joyce said the project will also help to support local jobs, employing approximately 40 jobs and five contractors for a period of eight weeks. Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said Transport for NSW has worked with Port Stephens Council to carry out the work. The work includes widening the road over the full 2.6 kilometres to provide 3.5 metre travel lanes and 1.5 metre sealed shoulders. “As well as widening and resurfacing the road, crews will be installing a wider painted centreline to improve safety and reduce the likeli-

hood of head-on crashes. “Work will also be carried out to install new safety barriers and improve drainage, reducing the risks of water over the road,” Mr Farraway said. Works commenced on 27 April and will be carried out from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and Saturdays, with an approximate completion of eight weeks, weather permitting. A detour will be in place for westbound motorists from 6am to 6pm weekdays and Saturdays. Motorists are advised to plan ahead as the detour is expected to add up to eighteen kilometres to journeys, which is about fifteen minutes travel time. Access will be maintained for residents, local businesses, school buses and emergency services.

was considered unsuitable for the site. With the development deemed not to be in the public interest, Council say consideration to community

views was given when making the decision to determine the application. Had the application been successful it would have seen up to 280 helicopter move-

ments per week with a maximum of 65 movements on any one day between 8am6pm, all taking place on the doorstep of the Anna Bay Lawn Cemetery.

No closure of Morna Point Road Council unanimously decides against the closure of Morna Point Road

By Tara CAMPBELL PORT Stephens Council has made the decision to not close part of Morna Point Road in Anna Bay. In an alternate motion raised by Mayor Ryan Palmer, it was concluded that the unformed and ‘surplus to operational need’ land on Morna Point Road in Anna Bay would not be closed by the Council at this point in time. “As we discussed in the property advisory panel and through the feedback we’ve received from the community, the closure is something that we don’t

need to proceed with at this stage. “The right thing to do at this stage is to leave it as an unformed road and move on from this one,” Mayor Palmer said. The subject road has an area of 814m2 and is zoned R2 Low Density Residential. It is situated amongst residential properties and adjoins the ocean on its southern border with the adjoining oceanfront land a rocky escarpment. Councillor Jason Wells also spoke to the motion, discussing the concern from community members. “I agree with this decision

and judging by my inbox and the many social media posts from concerned community members, I think this is a really good decision. “I think it also highlights how passionate our community is about the land that they use to access the waterfront and or even the visual amenity that is supplied by these sorts of blocks,” Cr Wells said. Cr Wells also stated that this decision is evidence of the effective engagement the Council has undertaken with the community, ensuring the best outcome for everyone.

Port Stephens Councillor and veteran Chris Doohan told News Of The Area, “It was a fantastic turn out for Medowie’s ANZAC Day Dawn Service. “Hundreds of people donned their medals, or those of their ancestors, to march down Ferodale Road to the beat of the drum band from Irrawang High - from current serving members and many veterans, to Air Force Cadets, Guides, Scouts and school kids. “The road was lined with many people clapping as

the parade marched by and listening to the shattering voice of parade commander Paul Bartlett call the orders of the march.” Over 2,000 people attended the service at the new memorial at Medowie Social, where the shrine was blessed by Father Chris Yates. “The RAAF Cadets manned the Catafalque party as the service began, emceed by Medowie RSL sub-Branch President Ian Harding. “Speeches of ‘Thanks and Appreciation’ (were given) by me and a tribute to the ‘Animals of War’ (was provided) by Steve Withey,” Mr Doohan said. Emotions ran high for some as the bagpipes were played as the sun rose by local veteran Jarad Ashpole. “Many wreaths were laid and tears shed in a beautiful touch to the

service. “I had the honour of reciting the ‘Ode of Remembrance’, (which was) followed by a perfect rendition of The Last Post by bugler Katie Hamshaw. “The silence of one minute was wonderfully respected by all, then the voices of thousands sang our national anthem. “It was truly inspiring. “Medowie ought to be damn proud of this ANZAC Day. “It will live long in the minds of many,” Mr Doohan said. For the fallen and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice serving our country there can be comfort and honour found in local communities standing tall and sharing in the spirit of the ANZACs.

Terrace To Get Maggot Farm Raymond Terrace To Get Sustainable Waste organic wastes can be apReduction Maggot Farm By Marian SAMPSON A SUSTAINABLE future with reduced landfill is coming one step closer for the Port Stephens community, with the establishment of a funded maggot farm in Raymond Terrace. An additional 33,000 tonnes of food waste will be diverted from landfill each year, reducing landfill emissions by almost 50,000 tonnes of CO-2 equivalent, thanks to the latest round of NSW Government funding for organics processing infrastructure. NSW Environment Minister James Griffin said a new, commercial scale maggot

farm in Raymond Terrace that turns food waste into animal feed will receive part of the $2.3 million funding. “Maggot-farming is one of many emerging technologies that can help us better manage our food waste, instead of sending it to landfill,” Mr Griffin said. “This project will use black soldier fly larvae to process organic waste at the Suez Resource Recovery Park in the lower Hunter. “This, along with additional mobile facilities, will process about 9,000 tonnes of food waste annually.” Climate Action Port Ste-

phens (CAPS) welcomed the introduction of commercial scale composting of organic waste, for livestock production and as a soil enhancer. CAPS President Alisha Onslow said, "Reducing organic waste into landfill helps reduce methane production, a significant contributor to greenhouse gases and climate change. "To have a major project using innovative technology here in Raymond Terrace is particularly pleasing. “I hope that Port Stephens Council will implement systems so our residential and commercial

propriately redirected away from landfill.” Alisha said the local processing of organic waste using black soldier fly larvae for animal feed also saves on greenhouse gases. "This may pave the way for future insect farms which have a much smaller ecological footprint than most livestock farms. “I should add that if we each composted our own organic wastes, we could not only reduce emissions but also improve the soil in our gardens and pot plants,” she said. Olympia Yarger, an Australian maggot farmer

said, “Maggots consume food scraps for around twelve days and leave virtually no waste.” Three other programs are being supported by the NSW Government’s Waste Less Recycle More Organics Infrastructure Large and Small (OILS) grants program. “A plant that generates energy from food waste and produces a substance that can be used to improve soils will come to life thanks to a grant of more than $638,000 for Sydney Water. “And organics processing facilities turning food waste into compost are being supported in Hay and Upper Hunter Shire Councils with $503,000 and $70,000 NSW Government funding respectively.” Another eight projects have received $5 million

from the NSW Government and matched funding from the Australian Government’s Food Waste for Healthy Soils Fund. Since 2013, the NSW Government has invested more than $42 million through its Waste Less Recycle More Organics Infrastructure Large and Small (OILS) grants program, increasing processing capacity for organics waste in NSW by 842,000 tonnes a year. “Unfortunately in NSW, more than a third of the waste we send to landfill is food, and as that food decomposes, it creates emissions,” Mr Griffin said. “These investments are supporting our commitment to halve the amount of organic waste sent to landfill, and reach net zero emissions from organic waste in landfill by 2030.”

FRIDAY

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC, 7.30pm

You may be a late bloomer to gardening, or perhaps you’re a seasoned green thumb; whatever you are, this long-running series sows a seed in viewers’ hearts. For some it’s the beguiling nature of big-bearded host Costa Georgiadis, for others it’s the no-fail, straightforward tips and tricks, but once you’ve dug into this show, your Friday night roots are ﬁrmly planted. Your future might soon involve your own personal egg supply after being inspired by Costa and Millie Ross’s (above) homemade chook run tonight. Jerry Coleby-Williams explores the colourful world of bougainvilleas and Josh Byrne visits a verdant fern garden in Perth’s dry suburbs.

The truth about travelling is that it turns many of us into grumps: catching ﬂights, trains and visiting a never-ending itinerary of destinations can quickly mutate into a hard slog, rather than a fun adventure. That’s exactly why witnessing someone else do the tourist thing from the comfort of your own home can be such a delight – especially when its bright-eyed and playful comedian Griﬀ Rhys Jones. This is a man who sees the funny side of everything and carries a backpack full of awe. His Canadian sojourn is punctuated with unexpected moments and spectacular scenery. This week is about “Frenchness”, with Montreal, Quebec City, bagels and ice hockey on the menu.

BIG BROTHER

PRIME7, 7.30pm

If you thought you were done and dusted with Big Brother this lifetime, think again. In a turn of events almost too exciting for fans to process without breaking into a Sara-Marie-style bum dance, this new season features well-known past contestants. Besides the fact the reality TV pioneer is returning for its 14th season on its third TV network, it’s certainly a sign of a love when past housemates agree to rendez-vous for the mind games and food rationing once again. Among the series’ 21 housemates, the “royalty” includes 2003 winner Reggie Bird, 2004 winner Trevor Butler and farmer Dave Graham (2006, above). Prepare for an awesome twist. 0605

Big Day for Gallery By Geoff WALKER

“A GREAT day for the community!” This is how Tilligerry Art Gallery's (TAG) Sue McDonnell described their market day held on Sunday 1 May. Tilligerry was somewhat starved of community interaction during Covid-19 restrictions and as the sun burst through a grey sky, people flocked to the venue. Some 34 stallholders took up station on the grassy slopes of McCann Park and the local 'Lemon Eucalypts' ukulele band entertained the crowd. The Lions Club sausage sizzle worked overtime as did the local mobile coffee van.

Marine Rescue was also in attendance, fundraising and answering any queries local boat owners had.

Sue said that the Gallery stall saw sales soar on the day.

“With Mother's Day next week, locals and tourists snapped up items of original jewellery, pottery and art as presents for the special day. “We were literally run off our feet,” she said. The Tilligerry Art Gallery has gone from strength to strength over recent years after relocating to the old fire station on the main road into town with limit-

less parking and easy access. Indeed, Lemon Tree Passage itself has become very

popular with day trippers from the Hunter and tourists seeking to find quiet restful places away from the

stress and hassles of city life. The next big community day will be the local car

club's 'Motorama' held at the RSL's grounds in Tanilba Bay on 15 May.

By Marian SAMPSON

The centre is holding an exhibition until 31 May with paintings themed around ‘Creating a Calm Space – To add a relaxing feature to your home’. There are also an exciting array of mosaics including indoor and outdoor wall hangings, tables, and pots. Also on display are the Fusion Group’s created Tiny Textile items. The Fusion Room also contains many items perfect

for Mum. As usual there is a wide array of pottery, jewellery, and craft items. Featured potters for the month of May are Jenny Crozier and Daad Ruelle. Meryl Miller of the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre told News Of The Area, “The Centre enjoyed a very successful bonsai show in April and there are still trees available along with the care instructions.”

Anyone who has ever considered getting into bonsai should check out the upcoming demonstration by Steve Royce from the Bonsai Group on Thursday 5 May at 11.00am at Bunnings Taylors Beach. The Port Stephens Community Arts Centre is located on Cultural Close at Nelson Bay and is open six days a week from 10 am until 4 pm, and Sunday from 10am to 1pm. Entry is free.

dropping into Port Stephens in May to teach us about (creating) less mess with meal planning,” Ms Abbott said. “In June and August, we’ll learn about living with less and in September, creating an intentional wardrobe.” The first workshop will be held on 7 May 2022 at Raymond Terrace Library, hosted by Susanne Thiebe, an expert professional organiser with thirteen years experience and a board member at the Institute of Professional Organisers.

Topics for the meal planning workshop will include how planning your meals will improve your family’s health and save the environment, a healthy way to diet for your family, ways to save money on groceries, reducing food waste and less stress around dinner time. On 28 June and 13 August, the program will be hitting Tomaree Library and Raymond Terrace Library, consecutively, to help people reduce the clutter in their lives, reduce housework and get back some breathing space.

The final workshop will be held on 17 September at Raymond Terrace Library introducing Port Stephens locals to decluttering and organising textiles; challenging routines and finding ways to recycle or swap second hand resources. Bookings are essential for all workshops and spots can be reserved by contacting Raymond Terrace Library on 4988 0111 and Tomaree Library on 4988 0670. All of the workshops will run for two hours from 10am-12pm.

Mother’s Day gifts at Port Stephens Arts Centre THE Port Stephens Community Arts Centre is filled with many affordable and handcrafted Mother’s Day gift options. What more could Mum want than something handmade with love and care? Visitors are welcome to peruse the gallery to find that special gift that will give Mum a very special Mother’s Day.

Breast Cancer Fundraiser at Sunrise Over 55’s By Marian SAMPSON

THE Sunrise Over 55’s village at Anna Bay will host an event for residents in support of the Tomaree Breast Cancer Support Group on 18 May, featuring a fashion parade delivered by Nelson Bay’s Pizazz Boutique. Madaline White, a Social Committee member at Sunrise told News Of The Area, “We will be starting with champagne and orange juice and enjoy a fashion parade by Pizazz Boutique which will be followed by an afternoon tea and a monster raffle with over 30 prizes.” The ladies from Sunrise will be catering the event. At similar prior events in the village, more than 100 people have attended. “We are trying not to spend any money, so all the money raised will go to the charity.” Gary Wilson, President of the Sunrise Social Commit-

tee said, “It is a disease that we really want to try to get on top of, the village here is a caring village and we want to support our own.” Sarah Smith, President of Tomaree Breast Cancer Support Group, told News Of The Area, “It is a grassroots community group that has been operating for over 20 yeas and supporting men and women with breast cancer on the Tomaree Peninsula. “The women that receive the service are all so grateful, one of the main things we do is drive people to their appointments in Newcastle and more recently Maitland, and that is a big thing with people having to travel for treatment sometimes everyday for six to eight weeks, or sometimes longer. “For people who don’t have family in the area that is a big thing.” Driving to and from these appointments can be exhausting, especially for those on treatment and potentially dealing with side effects like nausea.

“The volunteers contribution allows for partners to keep working and takes the strain off.”

The service also organises cleaning and yard maintenance when needed. “It is a great group of

"An effective police force is one that is made up of all ages, genders and backgrounds,” Commissioner Webb said. “Our police respond to all forms of crime, support victims of all ages and backgrounds, and engage with all types of communities. “A career in policing can be extremely varied and each day can be

Triples thriller at Soldiers Point Bowls By Peter SMITH

LAST week, a large crowd watched an entertaining Major Triples Final at Soldiers Point Bowling Club. Competing were Trevor Sagel, Barry Brennan and Chris Ramage (skip) versus Matt Johnstone, Daniel Collaros and Warren Shipley (skip). Shipley's team went to an impressive 18 shots to 6 lead at the halfway point looking at a convincing win however, Ramage's team had other ideas and, after a slow start, Sagel hit form and, playing

long ends, the team won 9 of the next 10 ends to take a narrow one shot lead. The match result now hung on the final three ends and, with Johnstone tactically playing short ends, the Shipley team won the last three ends for a final score of 26 shots to 19. Congratulations go to Warren Shipley's team as the 2022 Triples Champions. New bowlers are welcome at the Bowling Club where they can receive free coaching. Please contact Mark Watt on 49827173

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

OFF GRID: THE WAY TO GO? “Is it a risky move to buy a property that’s totally off grid?” OFF-GRID is an example of shifting priorities. Previously it conjured up images of a rustic – or rusty – cabin in some remote backwater, lit by candles or kerosene lamps, cooking on a wood stove or open fire. But no more. Thanks to technological advances, off-grid today is far more sophisticated with solar panels and backup batteries providing sufficient and affordable energy to run a full home, day and night, year-round. And off-grid is not the sole domain of remote rural properties. Many residential homes are disconnecting from the grid, not simply to curb sky-rocketing energy prices, or leave a lighter footprint, but, in the face of grid overload during our increasingly hot summers, to take control over their energy supply. I know several residential properties that run totally off-grid without issue. As long as the property has the appropriate quality/quantity infrastructure and you’re comfortable with the concept, I wouldn’t be dissuaded from purchasing an off-grid property. Today’s off-grid lifestyle is definitely less Beverly Hillbillies and more Good Life (for those of us who can remember the visionary series). Your needs will be met, and the planet will love you. Win-win. Denise

Port Potters Exhibition By Marian SAMPSON

A GROUP of potters living in Port Stephens are holding their first exhibition of their works in a gallery in Newcastle. The exhibition is entitled ‘Emerge’. For the potters, Riko Eguchi, Greg Howes, Caryl Bryars and David Briskham, this is an exciting step in sharing their pottery, all of which uses the same materials but delivers very different pieces of functional pottery and artwork. The opening night is 6-8pm on 6 May at the Back to Back Galleries in Cooks Hill, and the exhibition will continue until 22 May. The gallery is also collaborating with the City of Newcastle’s Autumn Alive festival, making visiting the exhibition a wonderful and immersive cultural experience. Rico Eguchi told News Of The Area, “Our exhibition will participate on the nights of

Friday 20 and Saturday 21 May, when there will be food and live entertainment, including Adam Miller, at the Gallery.” The potters met when working at the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre and they have each developed unique styles. Greg Howes’ work is rustic and by no means traditional, using techniques like pit firing to produce organic pieces. Rico Eguchi’s work leans towards traditional and functional wares. Both Carol Bryars and David Briskham’s works have earthy styles and explore techniques like hand building. The combined works all look distinctly different and highlight various aspects and facets of clay. The potters hope this exhibition will be the start of many more.

Koala warning signs

Council supports EcoNetwork Port Stephens in establishing Koala Warning signs for Pearson Park By Tara CAMPBELL ECONETWORK Port Stephens has been awarded a donation towards koala warning signs.

EcoNetwork Port Stephens is a not-for-

profit volunteer conservation organisation dedicated to promoting sustainability and protecting the natural environment in the biodiverse Port Stephens region.

In the recent Port Stephens Council

meeting on 26 April 2022, a contribution

of $2139.50 of Mayoral funds was granted to EcoNetwork Port Stephens to erect koala warning signs for Pearson Park.

The area is located at the southern end of

Sunset Beach in Tanilba Bay, where there are

a large number of off-lead dogs which pose a risk to koalas in Port Stephens.

According to the NSW Department of

Planning and Environment, one of the largest

The recommendation of the Depart-

MY husband and I are house-sitting a very large property and have been told that we can use the pool, spa and sauna along with making ourselves at home in whatever way we choose. After day three of this month-long venture, the owners have alerted me to the very sophisticated monitoring system that they can access via their mobile phones. I now feel like a contestant on Big Brother and don't want to do anything except sit in the loungeroom under a blanket, whispering to my husband in case we are overheard. This opportunity is feeling like a punishment. Carrie B. Dear Carrie, I CAN only imagine what prompted the owners to alert you to the monitoring system. Were they perhaps remotely checking the pool filter settings while sipping cocktails in the Maldives and noticed what could only be described as a rowdy toga party taking place around the pool? Were they just making sure that the automatic sprinkler system was working when they caught you frolicking around the yard in their dressing gowns hitting golf balls in the direction of their stunned dairy cows? Did they check the formal dining area and see your husband overfeeding their prized albino Asian Arowana because he'd missed a couple of days? These are the sorts of reasons they have possibly told you about their monitoring system. Like the property, you also need to be alert and alarmed. I'd be refraining from any activity that you wouldn't normally do in their company. Alternatively, throw a few towels over those strategically placed cameras and start talking in code. Or you could use it as a social experiment. After a while you will probably forget all about the 24-hour surveillance. How the owners deal with this is up to them. They should have fully informed you of the set up prior to you agreeing to it, instead of being sneaky voyeurs. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

EcoNetwork Port Stephens hopes that

through these signs, locals will be encour-

Mayor Cr Ryan Palmer was glad to

support the project.

“This is a great project and we’ve been

able to work with EcoNetwork, and in

particular, one of their members to get some cool funky little signs out and about to support their environment projects.

“I’m very happy to put forward this

motion to support the group,” Mayor Palmer said.
