Mum puts ‘I do’ top of to-do list

By CAROLINE STRAINIG

MOTHER of two Kathy Schleibs and her longtime partner Kelvin Hetherton will get married in Port Macquarie on Easter Saturday.

There’s nothing unusual in that, but there is in their circumstances, which is why there will be plenty of tears as well as laughter on the big day.

After winning a battle with cervical cancer, Kathy, who is only 42, found out last week that the irritating little cough she developed a few weeks ago is lung cancer, even though she has never smoked.

The prognosis is serious and while Kathy will do her utmost to fight the cancer she is also doing everything she can to make the most of every precious second.

Top of her list was marrying Kelvin, 47, her partner of many years and the father of her two grown-up children.

“It’s something we always planned to do ‘one day’ but things got in the way,” Kathy said.

Kathy’s doctor signed a medical certificate so they could marry straight away, but after that they ran into a major hurdle: money. Kelvin was out of work and she was working only as a casual in aged care. Apart from paying for a simple ceremony they didn’t have any money to pay for

Even that couldn’t dampen the couple’s enthusiasm for the wedding though.

“Nothing is going to stop me,” Kelvin said. “I love her too much. She is a true angel.”

World’s Best Tubular Skylighting Device

BEFORE

AFTER

PROBLEM. This living/kitchen area made a dramatic statement, but for all the wrong reasons; it was very dark. It required the homeowners to rely upon electric light, even during the daytime to provide adequate lighting.

SOLUTION. Solutube Daylighting Systems were installed. This provided plenty of task lighting to the centre of the space, as well as an abundance of soft natural light for the rest of this area. The system uses no electricity and has the highest performance guarantee. Visit our showroom and see working models.

How We Voted

Grace Maloney, Port Macquarie “This is my first time voting and I am voting for the Nationals.”

Shelley Gillespie, Port Macquarie “I am voting for Leslie Williams.”

Roberta Moir, Port Macquarie “I am voting for Country Labor. It is my first time. I would like some change.”

IN BRIEF Fatal collision

Katherine Pollock, Port Macquarie “I’m not sure yet.”

Elsie Pilcher, Port Macquarie “I am voting for the Nationals. I am a longtime supporter.”

Nationals romp home DESPITE fears the unpopularity of Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the federal government would have an impact at state level, the Nationals polled strongly in Saturday’s state election, winning the seats of Port Macquarie, Oxley, Myall Lakes and the Upper Hunter in this region.

The sitting member for Port Macquarie, Leslie Williams, easily retained her seat, with 28,485 formal votes (62.60 per cent) and a swing of more than 10 per cent in her favour.

This was not unexpected because not only has Mrs Williams been a very high-profile member since being elected in 2011, but there was no other strong independent conservative candidate, unlike other elections in the recent past.

With pre-poll and absentee votes still to be tallied, her nearest rival was Labor’s Kristy Quill (10,998, 24.17 per cent), followed by The Greens Drusi Megget (3880, 8.53 percent), the Christian Democratic Party’s Ashley Prinable (1391, 3.06 per cent) and No Land Tax’s Paul Grasso (750, 1.65 per cent).

One of Mrs Williams’ election promises was $15 million towards the mental health services expansion and the cardiac catheterisation laboratory at Port Macquarie Base Hospital.

In Oxley, Melinda Pavey has promised funding for the Oxley Highway upgrade and a

POLICE are investigating after a fatal collision near Port Macquarie.

About 9.30am on Tuesday emergency services were called to Hastings River Drive, about three kilometres west of Port Macquarie.

Police were told a small sedan driving east collided with a west-bound garbage truck.

The driver of the car, a 17-year-old female, died at the scene. A young child travelling with her was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

No-one else was injured in the crash. However, the driver of the garbage truck was taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests.

Specialist crash investigators attended the scene, and police will prepare a report for the coroner.

Panthers changes

CHANGES to the constitution of the Panthers Rugby League Club were adopted at the club’s annual general meeting in Penrith last Thursday.

This is despite concerns expressed by members of Port Macquarie Panthers that the changes will give them less of a say in the running of their club.

The changes mean there will be no election for the Port Macquarie club committee – just members nominating their representatives and then from amongst the nominees five people being appointed

by Penrith. Port Macquarie members will not be eligible to stand for the group board unless they are also members of Penrith Panthers.

The existing advisory committee - David Mayne, Phil Langsford, Julie Brown, Terry Merchant and Janette Hyde - will continue their current role until February 2016 when the new appointments will be made by Penrith Panthers. David Mayne currently sits on the Penrith group board and this is also valid until February 2016.

Easter beach patrols

Mrs Williams celebrates early booth figures on election night at campaign headquarters $50-million Macksville Hospital redevelopment.

The Greens and Labor were both gracious in defeat and congratulated Mrs Williams on the win.

Greens candidate Drusi Megget said they were still very happy with the result because they more than doubled their vote.

“Naturally we’re very pleased about that and that in the lower house we’ve more than

quadrupled our number of seats,” she said.

Labor candidate Kristy Quill said Mrs Williams had worked hard for the community over the past four years and the results reflected this.

Green reflections Letter of the Week

“

Here in Port Macquarie, we more than doubled our vote.

Naturally we’re very pleased

“

THE Greens had a very good day on Saturday, which was NSW state election day. Here in Port Macquarie, we more than doubled our vote.

Naturally we’re very pleased about that and that in the lower house we’ve more than quadrupled our number of seats.

Community rejection of coal seam gas was a big reason for two of those seats. Other reasons are the Greens’ position on TAFE – that there should be a return to full-funding and a cap on private training providers. The Greens also campaigned on no privatisation of the electricity “poles and wires”, generating clean and sustainable jobs, full funding of Gonski, and no privatisation of health, aged and disability services.

The Greens believe we need to protect the communities and places we love, and that starts with democratic, sustainable and smart planning. Many people in Port will be watching with interest to see what happens with our Short Street carpark and the wharf nearby.

Port Macquarians don’t want big developments in the town; it’s

already crowded. In Port Macquarie the Greens will work towards sustainable infrastructure such as cycleways and other transport solutions such as a shuttle bus to the hospital.

On behalf of the local Greens, I would like to acknowledge the hard work of our team. We had lots of supporters putting the campaign together and working towards a successful election day. My thanks to everyone and the great support from voters during pre-polling and on Saturday.

Drusi Megget Greens candidate

Labor reflections

I CONGRATULATE Leslie Williams on her win at this election. Leslie has worked hard for the community over the last four years and the results reflected this.

I would like to thank all the people who have expressed confidence in me by voting Labor.

THUMBS

UP

EARLIER this year the Sydney Morning Herald announced that free-to-air TV was calling for proposed changes that would allow M-rated programming content, as well as commercials for alcohol and gambling, to be shown at 7.30pm. MA would be permitted at 8pm, as well as the current AV (adult violence) which is being swallowed up into the MA category. The story was on the news that night. Since then, there has not been so much as a whisper.

As a school teacher, I hear about many movies and shows our vulnerable young children watch on television. Free-to-air has told me that parents can monitor with channels such as ABC Kids, or parental locks, but you and I both know that these are ideal circumstances.

In an emergency department

waiting room or airport children, and adults, will be exposed to things they do not wish to see or know about.

Walking past Dick Smith’s storefront on any given evening coud give us an eyeful. I have had many families express to me that they desire to sit and watch a television program together with their pre-teen after the littlies have gone to bed. They will no longer feel any reassurances in doing this with free-to-air television.

Those of us who wish to watch “graphic violence” and be exposed to nudity and coarse language can take in a movie at the theatre, or watch paid TV. This is not right. You are not giving us a choice. Some of us will be changing our TV viewing practises or getting rid of our televisions altogether.

I have been collecting signatures

It takes the hard work of many volunteers over months to run an election campaign and I am grateful for all of them. Supporters have put up posters in their yards, put on a red shirt for me at market stalls, pre-poll, and polling booths on election day, delivered thousands of flyers to letter boxes and helped the cause numerous

other ways.

I would like to thank all the people who have supported me during this campaign. I have been overwhelmed by the encouragement I have received by not only Labor members but by the number of people within our community who want a change.

Election day started for me at

TO people who just have no sense of what is acceptable in public. While driving along Hastings River Drive west-bound recently mid-morning, I spotted a female exiting a Wicked hire campervan. She pulled her pants down, semi squatting, with no screening from the road whatsoever, and proceeded to urinate in the garden in full public view without a care in the world.

Another benefit of the growing backpacker presence in Port.

TO the drivers of Silver Service hire cars in Port. The cost is the same as the local taxi company and their service is just the best.

Thank-you, guys.

TO the person that removed a piece of purposely cut-to-size timber I had in my carport in Hudson Avenue last Wednesday, and a thumbs up to them for returning it on Thursday! If it was the wind that blew it away and a helpful neighbour who returned it, I take back both the above and a thumbs up to them instead.

Slash penalty rates: Chamber

Lindsy Isaac-Davies before the on-water tribute to Zac Young after his funeral in November 2013 PICTURE: CAROLINE STRAINIG

Trio awarded for bravery

THREE local boys have received bravery medals in the Australian Bravery Awards.

Lindsy Isaac-Davies, Kurtis Gillan and Shayden Schrader were among 26 bravery medal honourees from NSW. The boys went to the aid of a friend, Zac Young, after he was attacked by a shark near Coffs Harbour in 2013, dragging their badly injured friend to shore, despite the danger of being attacked by the three-metre Tiger shark themselves.

Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove expressed his sincere gratitude to all recipients and paid special tribute to those who lost their lives because of their courage.

During an interview with the Channel 7 Sunrise show on Monday, Lindsy modestly played down their actions.

“We definitely weren’t thinking about what we were doing, just acting,” he said.

However, asked if it was scary, he admitted they definitely did have an idea of what was

Happy

around and what danger we were in.

“Of course it was scary, but we weren’t thinking about what we were doing, just acting to try and save a mate,” he said.

Lindsy said receiving the award was an honour for the three of them, but even more so for Zac. “This will be in Zac’s name,” Lindsy said.

“He is the sole reason we are getting this honour.”

EXCESSIVE penalty rates are meaning many businesses are unable to capitalise on big holiday weekends such as Easter.

That’s according to the NSW Business Chamber, which has started a campaign to persuade the federal government to cut rates.

NSW Business Chamber regional manager Kellon Beard said cafes, restaurants and shops right across NSW have been given posters to put up in their shop windows – apologising to customers for being closed, or explaining that, while they are open, they are leaning on family members to help serve customers.

“We know this Easter with its four back-to-back public holidays will create enormous pressure on the owners who want to remain open to serve their customers, but at the same time simply can’t afford to open their doors due to the excessive penalty rates for their staff,” Mr Beard said.

“The message on the posters is ‘Tell Canberra something has to change’ – and unless our political leaders are prepared to do something about these excessive penalty rates, cafes, restaurants and shops will remain closed and workers will miss out on wages. We are asking people to register their concern via toobigtoignore.org.au.

“The NSW Business Chamber, through its submissions to the Fair Work Commission, does not want to see penalty rates abolished. ”However, it’s ridiculous that penalty rates are now so excessive that businesses are forced to close to avoid making losses.

“Many of our regional and tourist towns will be like ghost towns this weekend because business owners have come to the realisation that they’ll lose money if they open.”

Brunch Bunch thinks big KNOWN as the Brunch Bunch, representatives from two local organisations have again banded together to support cancer patients in our community.

Port Macquarie’s Coastside Church and Can Assist Mid North Coast are busy preparing to hold their fourth annual Autumn Brunch on Saturday, April 18 from 10am to 1pm.

The first brunch was held in 2012 and raised $2020, with $4014 being raised in 2013. The goal for 2014 was $6000 and that was exceeded with $6530 raised. All money raised goes to Can Assist Mid North Coast and will be used to support local cancer patients and their families.

Coastside Church community pastor Faye Moses said they were thrilled to support Can Assist in this way.

“We learnt a lot from our first three Autumn Brunches and in 2015 we will be even bigger and better and our target for this year’s fundraising is at least $8000,” she said.

“Our community has been so generous, each year we have had no outgoing expenses.

Everything is donated, including food, small items for prizes and large items for auctions.

“Businesses have embraced the cause, many increasing or even doubling their previous contribution. Of course we are very happy to accept new donations right up to the week before the event.”

The Coastside Church Mumford Street venue will be packed with market stalls. There will be both silent and loud auctions with over 60 items available – something for everyone.

The brunch will consist of fresh, savoury and sweet food all donated by the local community and prepared by the team at Coastside Church.

Spot prizes will punctuate the morning. Because

The auction will have something to tempt everyone, from small gifts to a car service, roof maintenance, child’s patchwork quilt, a smart phone and jewellery. There are also vouchers for activities ranging from putt putt golf, river cruises and beauty treatments to an overnight stay at a 4.5-star resort.

The Autumn Brunch is also an opportunity for locals to learn more about the work of Can Assist Mid North Coast, with a short presentation and

Entry is $10, payable at the door. This covers the lucky door prize and a delicious buffet brunch, with barista coffee available for an extra charge.

“Port Volunteer Festival will be an outdoor showcase and the first of its kind where volunteers are the focus,” she said.

“The festival will have a range of volunteer and work experience services to network with along with showcasing volunteers through the presentation of volunteer awards. There will also be a volunteer hub with entertainment, giveaways, a photo-booth and a barbecue and refreshments.

“This is day our community can thank volunteers for the wonderful contribution they make.

“We want our community to stand out from any other and take a whole community approach to the recognition of volunteering.”

The Port Volunteer Festival will be held in the grounds of the Mid North Coast Maritime Museum on Saturday, May 16.

Grand plans for CBD PHYSICAL works on the first of three major projects scheduled for Port Macquarie this year will start at the end of April.

This project is centred on the rejuvenation of Clarence Street and has been designed around creating a sense of “arriving” when entering the CBD. Conversely, the eventual end works will similarly integrate with plans for the top end of Clarence Street to provide a sense of “arrival”.

Parking, landscaping and traffic calming feature in this program, which will be rolled out in several stages.

The second major project is centered around the northern end of Horton Street. This area has been re-designed to create an effective Town Square and the street level will be raised to provide a flat surface. While no loss of parking is anticipated, it has been designed to be significantly more pedestrian friendly and amenable to civic events as well as outdoor dining.

The third and final project involves the Town Green and this is the focus of extensive design

detail.

All three projects are a direct outcome of the Town Centre Master Plan Review that went out on public exhibition earlier this year. The end result has considered all the community feedback.

All the funding for the Clarence Street upgrade and the Town Square revamp – as well as around a contribution of a million dollars towards the Town Green upgrade – has come from the Port Macquarie Town Centre Master Plan Reserve.

These funds are derived from a unique levy on the CBD landowners.

The three projects are typical of a significant proportion of council’s major work in that they

can take several financial years from early stage concept design, to more detailed concept design work through to the highly detailed preconstruction design specifics required for the tendering processes and ending with the actual construction work itself.

There has been extensive stakeholder consultation as well as broader public exhibition, enabling the entire community to become involved.

Part of the funding is included in the 201314 Operational Plan and an even larger part in the 2014-15 Draft Operational Plan currently on public exhibition.

I would like to encourage all members of our community to go online or visit a council office to look at the proposed plans for this coming financial year to gain an understanding of how council is proposing to both raise and invest ratepayers’ funds this year.

Pacific Highway work on track THE duplication of the Pacific Highway is on track for completion.

Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the federal and state coalition governments would complete the duplication of the Pacific Highway before this decade is out.

“Since coming to office, the Coalition has pumped $5.64 billion into the Pacific Highway to get the job done once and for all, no ifs, no buts,” Mr Truss said.

He said all projects currently underway on the Pacific Highway are progressing as scheduled, with all sections of the upgrade to Woolgoolga either under construction or complete.

“Today, 397km (60 per cent) of the highway has been upgraded to a four-lane divided road,” he said.

“A further 123km is under construction and the final 155km section from Woolgoolga to Ballina will commence this month.

“Works on the Kundabung-to-Kempsey and Nambucca Heads-to-Urunga sections of the highway commenced under our government, as did construction on Pimilco-to-Teven Stage 2, Sancrox Road Interchange, Oxley Highwayto-Kundabung and Warrell Creek-to-Nambucca Heads sections.

“No thanks to Labor, these works are creating

“

thousands of jobs. As promised by the Coalition, families, businesses and entire communities will finally get the safer, more reliable highway they deserve.”

Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie said a number of major projects - including the Oxley Highway-to-Kempsey section - had been brought forward a number of years after his government restored more than $2-billion that had been removed from the Pacific Highway upgrading programme by the former GillardRudd government.

What Easter means to me School News

By students from the Heritage Christian School

How long have you lived in or around Port Macquarie?

My family, the Wilsons and the Doyles, have lived in Port Macquarie since 1823.

Some of those years were on 330 acres at Rollands Plains, so we have 192 years of history. I remember Port Macquarie when there were no sets of traffic lights and a smaller population. The area was all about connections and camaraderie with friends and family. Kids had lots of time in the outdoors, especially swimming and on weekends we went collecting pipis at the beach for bait.

What do you love most about the Hastings?

I enjoy the slower pace and the lovely ambience. The river fishing is great for relaxation and a food supply.

Where do you work and what do you love most about your work?

I worked at the bank of NSW until I was married at 20, when looking after my family became the priority.

Today I volunteer at Douglas Vale Historic Homestead and Vineyard as the secretary and the family historian. I love finding out about the many branches of our family trees for which there are more than 2000 recorded descendants.

What do you like least about your work?

The fact that due to medication I can no longer drink the wine!

How do you start your day?

Breakfast and reading the paper. I love listening to the birdlife around me.

What do you do in your spare time?

What spare time! It’s all taken up! Fishing, boating and touring around the district, finding sites of historical value with the wonderful stories that accompany them.

What is the achievement you are most proud of?

Compiling three books available at Douglas Vale, which show the history of the families that lived in and around this district. My own family were farmers with a dairy herd, breeding horses and also corn and watermelon production.

Great, great, great grandfather William Wilson’s cottage foundations are on view underneath the Glasshouse. Great, great grandfather Christopher Doyle is represented on the footpath outside the currently defunct shops on William and Short streets.

EASTER reminds me of what Jesus did for us like he rose from the dead and took the punishment for our sins and the Easter egg represents Jesus’s empty tomb when he rose from the dead.

I like to read the Bible and spend time with my family at Easter. This is the story of what happened to Jesus. They took Jesus to the cross and nailed him and his arms and legs to the cross and then they put a crown of thorns on his head and whipped him and laughed at him like he meant nothing And then he died and the sky went black. They put him in a tomb. Three days later he rose from the dead. That’s my story of Easter.

Jacob Norris EASTER means thanking God for sending his son Jesus to die on the cross for us and taking our punishment of sin away from us. It’s amazing that he gave his life away for us and then rose from the dead. I found this verse in the Bible Mathew 27:37-38: Above his head they placed the written charge against him: “The king of the Jews”. Two robbers crucified next to him, one on the right and one on the left.

Isaac G IT means when Jesus died for our sins, he went through excruciating pain. He got whipped until he had no skin on his back, he got a crown of thorns driven into his head, and so much more.

Students do their bit

STUDENTS at the Westport campus of Hastings Secondary College have participated in activities designed to raise awareness of two important community issues.

The first was the Closing the Gap initiative highlighting indigenous inequality and the second was a Pigtails for Peace day to encourage students to take a stand against bullying.

Junior Aboriginal Education Consultative Group student leaders Billy Clarke and Letitia Dodd led the formal assembly and provided an overview about the Closing the Gap initiative.

After the assembly indigenous students participated in a healthy lifestyle seminar where the importance of not smoking and low-sugar and low-fat lifestyle choices were emphasised.

The second big activity of the day was to raise awareness about all types of bullying.

Welfare head teacher Duncan Kirkland outlined strategies to the students about how to It’s a time to remember what Jesus has done for us. Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies are taking away from the main purpose of Jesus dying on the cross. What my family does on Easter is go to church and spend time with family. That’s what Easter means to me.

Will I THINK Easter means to celebrate family, friends and remembering when Jesus rose from the dead,

Some of the students who wore Pigtails for Peace: Kira Olive, Krystel Hollis, Georgia Clarke and Emma Sinclair deal with bullying of all kinds and many wore pigtails to show their support.

Students joined staff for a sausage sizzle at the lunch break and a photo booth was in operation to add to the fun and festivities. remembering Jesus and praising him and the cross. The chocolate egg symbolises the tomb where Jesus rose from the dead because the egg is hollow. On Easter Jesus took the punishment for our sins. The most important thing to me is remembering Jesus and when he sacrificed his life for us. And being thankful for family and friends.

That hand in the hat is a handicap MANY years ago I selected an outback shire president by sticking my hand in a hat and pulling out a piece of paper with a name on it. I think I was the only person in the room not connected with the council at the time.

I don’t know how legal it was, but everybody seemed satisfied.

Another outback shire council meeting usually had a dog sitting under the table. After a lengthy discussion on a particular subject somebody would say “I’ll move that way”.

The newspaper I represented would usually run long reports containing just about every word spoken. Sometimes the shire clerk would ring me and we would compare notes so we would be clear on what “that way” meant.

I remember the day the council bought an electric typewriter. I think somebody might have thought it would type all the words by itself, but somebody still had to tap the keys. That was long before computers became commonplace.

Anyway, before I was sidetracked I started to write about that hand in the hat.

Somebody asked me last week about the word handicap. I think he was saying, ever so politely, that I wasn’t pulling my weight, but he might

have been referring to the other fellow.

Modern dictionaries took a while to accept the word handicap.

The word, I believe, comes from those words hand in cap or hand i’ cap.

The earliest use that I could find was 1649, referring to a person extending his purse, and little at that stage to do with horse racing.

In the early days it resulted from a challenge, or an agreement by two people to exchange something.

A cap was produced. Okay, it could have been a bucket or even a cooking pot, but for the sake of the argument let’s say it was a cap, or we’ll all be confused.

Three hands went into the cap and then the umpire decreed what he considered to be a fair difference between the two objects. If the two

agreed, they each had some money in their hand when they withdrew their hands. Then whatever exchange had been proposed took place. But if one was not satisfied with the arrangement he withdrew his hand and had no money, in which the umpire (he was a numpire, not an umpire) took all the money.

A description of such an arrangement was given by Piers Plowman in Newe Faire. The items were a gold watch and a horse.

Plowman, incidentally, said in his diary that he had never heard of such an arrangement before.

Handicapping soon proved satisfactory for horse racing. The parties called on a cap to be produced, the umpire set the weight advantage for the inferior horse, and if the parties agreed then the race was on. If they couldn’t agree, then the umpire walked away with a smile on his face.

Handicapping took off. It applied to all sorts of sports, from athletics to horse racing.

These days, the handicapper might have a smile, but the bookie usually has a bigger smile.

Lake opened to the ocean

LAKE Cathie was opened to the ocean last Wednesday.

Port Macquarie - Hastings Council Development and Environment Services Director Matt Rogers said the lake exceeded the 1.6-metre trigger level following heavy rain, allowing the opening as per council’s Lake Cathie opening strategy.

“The strategy aims to provide maximum benefits to the community while minimising siltation and any

environmental impact,” Mr Rogers said.

“By opening the lake, we are helping to protect foreshore areas and infrastructure and allowing public access to recreational facilities.”

The lake was opened by an excavator pushing the sand to one side to form a starter channel.

Historically, artificial openings have been undertaken an average of once a year.

Paramedics win UK offers TEN paramedic students from the Port Macquarie campus of Charles Sturt University will be putting what they have learned into practice in the UK. The 10 are among 55 students from the university that the London Ambulance Service (LAS) offered jobs after visits to Sydney and Melbourne to recruit Australian paramedics.

CSU accounted for nearly 25 per cent of the 226 employment offers made by LAS to start in 2016, and some of the CSU paramedic recruits don’t graduate until the end of 2015.

The paramedic senior lecturer in the CSU School of Biomedical Sciences in Port Macquarie, Joe Acker, said it was an outstanding testimony to the strength and value of the Bachelor of Clinical Practice (Paramedic) at Charles Sturt University.

“In 1995 this university became one of the first universities in the world to teach paramedicine, and now, 20 years later, with more than 15

universities teaching paramedics in Australia, we remain committed to excellence and innovation in paramedic education,” Mr Acker said.

“A unique advantage of Charles Sturt University is that we prepare paramedics for the world.

“Our paramedic academic team comes from Canada, the USA, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand, Thailand, and Australia. Our teaching is informed by international best practices that we instil in our students.

“We also provide international study opportunities for paramedic students through CSU Global to places like London, Vancouver, New York, New Zealand, Thailand, and China.

Not only are our graduates confident and competent paramedics, they are global citizens prepared for any international opportunities that arise.”

HAVE the wave of home improvement shows on television inspired you to carry out some renovation?

Whether it’s big or small the question is – how are you going to pay for it? Christine Zimmerman at All Round Home Loans has some options to consider.

If you’re planning an extensive renovation, one of the most common ways to finance your project is to increase your current mortgage. This can be advantageous as you spread the cost out over a long period.

A simple and cost-effective option for financing smaller-scale renovations is a personal loan. The interest rates on personal loans are generally higher than home loans, but they typically have a fixed interest rate that stays the same for the full term of the loan.

A home equity loan or line of credit enable you to use your home as an asset for additional borrowing. This allows you to borrow money at a lower interest rate compared to a personal loan and can be usually drawn up to the approved limit at any time.

To avoid a budget blow out, knowing your budget is essential for successful renovations.

Research your costs thoroughly and review your budget weekly to ensure you stay on track.

Have you considered DIY? A great way to

Plan your project carefully save money on your renovation is DIY on easy things like painting, landscaping and other nonstructural jobs.

Council unveils waste app LOCAL residents never need to miss bin day again or wonder what to do with their waste following the launch of a free smartphone app by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council last Wednesday.

Port Macquarie-Hastings Council Mayor Peter Besseling said residents can now quickly and easily check their bin collection days, learn what to do with different waste materials, and find out about council’s other waste services and facilities.

“Council has developed this app as a handy tool to help make it easier for busy households to sort their waste properly and remember which bin goes out when,” Mayor Besseling said.

Mr Besseling said the app featured an A to Z guide including photos and descriptions of more than 90 items, with a quick colour code showing which bin to put them in as well as useful hints and tips.

“For example, if you’re not sure what to do with meat scraps and bones, you can scroll down and see at a glance they go in the green food and garden bin. Then click through to read the hint about freezing meat scraps until bin collection day,” Mayor Besseling said.

Mayor Besseling said often one of the biggest barriers to increasing recycling or composting is fear of putting the wrong thing in the bin.

“This app is designed to make these decisions

fast and simple so we can all work together to help increase the recovery of valuable resources and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill,” Mayor Besseling said.

Residents without access to a smartphone or tablet can continue to access the bin collection calendar and information about recycling, organics and other waste services on council’s website.

The WasteInfo app is available for both Apple and Android devices through the App Store and Google Play, or via a link at pmhc.nsw.gov.au/ bins

Download the new FREE App

Council’s new bin app should mean no more last-minute dashes to put your bin out.

New look at lower cost IF you’re buying or selling your home the first rooms that you will usually look at is the kitchen and bathroom. That’s because we spend most of the time in these areas and we like these to be clean and welcoming.

When buying your home you are looking at these rooms to see what costs you need to factor in to renovate or update them to your own personal taste.

When selling you want to add value without spending too much money to increase your sale price and the chances of getting the quick sale.

No one wants to walk into a dark kitchen with orange or red undertones. Bringing back these

rooms to neutral colours, white or off white cabinetry and simple stone-look bench tops will increase the appeal of your home to a wider demographic of buyers.

Many property owners have already benefited from the dramatic changes resurfacing has produced and for a lot less time, money and bother than a slow and messy renovation.

Jim and Helena recently had their kitchen resurfaced.

“The kitchen area is much brighter, looks tidier and more presentable. I’m sure our friends will believe we have had our kitchen totally replaced,” they said.

105th Wauchope Show Friday 10th and Saturday 11th April 2015

Show time at Wauchope IT’S show time!

The 105th Wauchope Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11 and will be filled with excitement and fun for all the family.

The showground opens at 8am each day and will keep the family entertained with rides, displays, races and the ever-popular Hastings CoOp Young Farmer Challenge, which will be held in the ring at 6.30pm on the Friday and Saturday.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Demolition Derby on the Saturday night at approximately 9pm!

There’s plenty for the little kiddies too. On Saturday parents can obtain a booklet and let their children pursue the Ag Trail. There will be questions that need to be answered correctly.

Winners will be announced and prizes given out on the Saturday. The show society would like to thank the Billabong Koala Wildlife Park and the Wauchope Newsagency for their generosity in supplying the prizes. There is also a pull-out section to keep the kids entertained with puzzles while you relax and take in the many sights and sounds.

One of the highlights this year will be the first-class arena spectacular show called Rooftop Express. It features world-first stunts, Australian comedy and incredible horsemanship. Definitely not to be missed and you can catch this on both Friday and Saturday evenings.

The show wouldn’t be the show if there wasn’t always something interesting to look at. The hall is always packed with displays of various handicrafts, vegetables, cake decorating and cooking, just to name a few. Nor can one forget the many horse, cattle, goats, poultry, animal nursery and ring events and much, much more.

After all this walking around you probably would like to take it easy, so make a beeline for the luncheon pavilion, where you will get great home cooking from the Ladies Auxiliary at very reasonable prices.

Yes, yet again there will really be something to delight everyone at the show and the show society look forward to seeing you and your family there.

Chance to get Drumstruck Rediscover Fleetwood Mac era Beach Easter Members of the church ready for Easter

PORT City Church will be hosting Easter on the Beach for the fourth year.

Rather than having their normal 9.30am Sunday service the church is heading to Town Beach near the skate park to celebrate the true meaning of Easter with the community.

The day will kick off at 8am and run until 2pm. There will be a free sausage sizzle and Easter eggs, drinks and HeBrew coffee vouchers will be given away. Background music will also be playing. “We want people to realise Christians are normal people who have encountered an amazingly good God who offers life in all its fullness,” a spokesperson for the church said.

There will be no official church services at the beach but Port City Church will have services/ meetings on Good Friday at 7pm and Sunday at 6pm at the church itself, which is located at 40 Munster Street. Anyone who would like to is invited to attend these.

For more information visit portcitychurch. org.au or ph 6584 6570.

IT’S not often a show leaves you totally dumbstruck, but Drumstruck is guaranteed to do just that.

Created by Warren Lieberman and director

by Kathy-Jo Ross, Drumstruck is a compelling blend of soul-stirring African rhythms, thrilling colourful dancing and the world’s most magnificent and uplifting voices.

Traditional dancing, ornate sets and artfully painted performers adorned in radiant costumes provide a colourful and entertaining spectacle.

Drumstruck premiered in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002 and the smash-hit musical has played to sell-out theatres since then, receiving standing ovations at every venue.

This unique phenomenon, rooted in African culture, is a thoroughly engaging spectacle that provides the audience with pure interactive fun and entertainment that is perfect for the whole family.

Cast members have performed in front of dignitaries such as, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Queen Elizabeth, Nicole Kidman, Elton John, Richard Branson, to name just a few.

Drumstruck is unique in that the audience helps create the show - everyone participates in the musical’s show-stopping rhythms and

BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO IT ALONE

Get with the beat and see Drumstruck drumming sequences on their own African djembe drums – truly taking Audience participation to the next level.

Creator Warren Lieberman said they find the show has a universal appeal, with anyone and everyone from tiny children to the elderly delighting in the show.

“I am constantly amazed at just how much people lose themselves in the music,” Warren said.

“Even babies seem to enjoy it!”

Drumstruck is coming to the Glasshouse on Friday, April 10.

Tickets cost $67.50 To book visit glasshouse.org.au, ph 6581 8888 or call in and see the box office staff.

GIG GUIDE

The talented cast

A timely reminder THE One Day of the Year by Alan Seymour is a play that makes us think long and hard on the meaning of Anzac Day and the men who fought and gave their lives for this country.

For characters in the play like war veterans Alf Cook and his friend Wacka Dawson, it’s the chance to commemorate history, celebrate heroism and conjure national pride. For Alf’s son Hughie, Anzac Day flies the flag for a very different reality, one that brings the dignity of our Diggers to its knees and into the gutter – via one too many down the pub.

Sparking huge controversy on its release in the 1960s, The One Day of the Year’s first ever production had a policeman stationed at the stage door to ward off the angry public. Death threats were issued to the author.

Playwright Alan Seymour’s play incites as much passion now as ever and looks at our national legend through the eyes of generation, class and character.

HIT Productions is presenting a thoroughly fresh take on this Australian classic in honour of the 100-year anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.

Directed by award-winning director Denis Moore, the current production of The One Day

of the Year stars a talented ensemble cast of Don Bridges (Neighbours), Luke Clayson (Holding the Man), Peter Hardy (Mamma Mia!), Christine Keogh (Fat Tony & Co) and Olivia Solomons (Headland).

The figures in Frank Hurley’s famous photograph Soldiers Walking to the Front - the backdrop of the set - both haunt and witness the domestic drama unfolding before them. Excerpts from Benjamin Brittan’s War Requiem become their voice.

In this production of the play, realist period detail of the 1950s and 60s is subdued in favour of a classical timelessness as in many ways the Great War is still with us in today’s Middle East.

Christine Harris & HIT Productions, the creative team, cast and crew are dedicating this production to the memory of playwright Alan Seymour, who died earlier this year.

The One Day of the Year will be performed at the Glasshouse on Saturday, April 18 at 8pm.

Tickets cost $59 general, $49 for members and $40 for adults under 21.

footytips

Brought to you by Port Macquarie Golf Club

Eels lead a round of carnage NRL WRAP CASEY O’CONNOR AS Round four unfolded it became obvious it was going to be a round of upsets. The Eels set the pace on Friday night when they burst the Bunnies’ bubble. The carnage continued throughout the round.

The Cowboys capped off the weekend of upsets on Monday night. They crawled off the canvas to get their season up and running with a nail-biting golden point win over Melbourne.

At the end of round four Newcastle top the table after their best season start in 15 years.

The Bulldogs and Bunnies get the Easter parade underway on Good Friday in a re-match of the grand final. The Doggies hung on grimly for a win in golden point extra time against the Tigers but not before they squandered an 18-point lead. The Bunnies will be smarting after their first loss since round 26 last season. The Eels’ blue print for success against the Bunnies included solid defence and flamboyant, less structured footy. It is not a game plan you often see from the Doggies and the Bunnies, wounded after last weekend’s loss, will be chasing the chocolates here.

The Titans were another team to open their winning account in round four with a narrow win over the Sharks.

The Titans have shown plenty of resilience recently and never gave up believing they could win this game. An intercept try broke an 18-all deadlock late in the game to give the Titans win number one.

The Broncos flew the Aussie flag in NZ only hours before the start of the Cricket World Cup

Todd Barnes

final and handed the Kiwis their first loss of the day.

The visitors took a 10-point lead to the half-time break and fought off a spirited Warriors second half comeback. Brisbane should be too strong for the Titans despite losing Hodges to injury.

Manly went into their game against St George with a host of injuries and the picture after their loss was no brighter. They may to recall Dave (Wolfman) Williams this week as the injury toll mounts. After being embroiled in a betting scandal last season, Williams is currently captaining the Manly NSW Cup side.

The Sea Eagles host the Raiders at Brookvale on Saturday night. The Raiders were simply outclassed by the Roosters in round four. Canberra is yet to win a game and despite Manly’s injury woes and issues with the surface at Brookvale it is hard to see a change in that trend this weekend.

It will be an emotion-charged game at Hunter Stadium on Saturday night when the all-conquering Knights take on St George Illawarra in the inaugural Alex McKinnon Cup. McKinnon played with great success for both sides and his journey through his injury will provide inspiration for both teams.

The Knights caught most tipsters napping this season and are not done with yet. A three-try blitz early in their game against Penrith set up their 26-14 win.

St George is coming off a comprehensive win over Manly. Josh Dugan’s form has him in the mix for the NSW Blues’ No 1 jersey come Origin selection. This will be a tough game but the Knights might just keep their unblemished record intact.

The Rooster and Cronulla go head to head at Allianz on Sunday afternoon. In Canberra last week, the Roosters played almost the perfect game.

In-from centre Blake Ferguson made a triumphant return to Canberra but the news after the game was

Jan Mar

not as good. Ferguson will undergo surgery for a serious foot injury and will be sidelined for several months.

Cronulla showed some improvement against the Titans but suffered their tenth consecutive homeground loss. Not form that suggests they can cause an upset here.

At ANZ Stadium on Monday the Blue and Gold army will be out in force as the Eels and Tigers do battle. Chris Sandow engineered Parras’ win over Souths and showed the Eels can beat any team on any given day.

The Tigers came within a whisker of upsetting the Bulldogs, who saw an 18-point lead evaporate in the second half as the Tigers dominated. This will be an exciting game with plenty of adlib footy. The Eels could be without Reece Robinson, who has a date with the judiciary but can win this.

Melbourne and the Warriors clash at AAMI Park on Easter Monday. Melbourne will be hungry to give Cam Smith his 200 win after going so close in Townsville. The Warriors are also coming off a loss after they failed to reel in the Broncos. Shaun Johnson was outstanding in that game and if Melbourne can keep him quiet and off the ball they should win here.

The NQ Cowboys finally have the monkey off their back after their heart-stopping win over Melbourne.

The Cowboys and JT stole the win with an inspirational final few minutes of football. The win was vital to keep the Cowboys in the hunt this season.

They will need all their guile and skill on Monday night when they take on Penrith on their home turf.

A sluggish Penrith were shell-shocked after the Knights burst out of the boxes and blitzed them early in last week’s game. Back in the saddle and full of confidence after Monday’s win the Cowboys can add another win here.

Racing takes it easy THE Sunday double header at the Port Macquarie Sailing Club was a rather laid-back affair, with the morning race delayed by almost an hour while waiting for the light south-easter to puff in.

It got us through the morning race, and also held in for the afternoon race. Luckily the tides are small at the moment, and low water was right between the races while we were having our barbecue lunch, meaning that the slower tide flow allowed racing in the lighter breezes.

Due to the delayed start and uncertainty of the breeze, the morning summer series race was only two laps over quite a short course. The catamarans were led home on yardstick by Frank O’Rourke on Dino, followed by Tony Kuhn on Stella, Andrew Richards on Snot Rocket, Dave Winter on Spica, and Ron Apps on Kimbo 3. The handicap positions were Stella, Dino, Spica, Snot Rocket, and Kimbo 3.

In the monohulls, Tony Walker on Deep

and Nathalie Tessede +2 will continue on to the second round – good luck ladies.

Friday, March 27 was open day. With visitors from neighbouring clubs, perfect golfing conditions, fashion parade and lunch, it all made for a very successful day.

The stableford event was contested by 117 players. Overall scratch winner was Gerry Lavender with 25pts. Div. 1 winner Julianne Stace 36 c/b, Belinda Richardson 36, R. Eller 35c/b and Pat Gunn 35pts. Div.2 winners Robyn Linn with a great score of 38pts, followed by S Byron 37, Joan Quilliam 33pts on a countback from Anne James. Div. 3 R Judge 36, Carmel Parry 34, Helen Christie 31pts c/b from R Maloney. Div.4 Sarah Roberts 36pts c/b from Di Graham and Sharon Farrell and in fourth place June Barsley with 35pts.

NTP on the 5th: Div. 1 – J Stace, Div.2 S Bellamy, Div.3 B Morris, Div.4 K Stonestreet.

NTP on the 16th hole Div.1 C Carter, Div.2 D Chesher, Div.3 TFA, Div.4 S Roberts. Longest

Frank O’Rourke and Dino Purple was first on yardstick, followed by Simon and Elsa Gandy on Voyager, Stuart Symons and Lee Carroll on Blue Goose, and Steve and Caleb Bohlsen on Splash Dance. The handicap results were Deep Purple, Voyager, Splash Dance, and Blue Goose.

The afternoon club championship race was sailed over a full-length course in the hope the drive: Div.1 A Jackson, Div.2 J Stapleton, Div.3 K Norgate, Div.4 J Barsley. Accuracy drive: Div.1 B Varco, Div.2 M Lloyd, Div.3 H Christie, Div.4 S Farrell.

HASTINGS LADIES

THE Hastings lady golfers played their final stroke round of the Hastings Trophy on Monday, March 30 at Emerald Downs with 28 starters.

In Div. 1 the winner was Bev Johnstone with 34 nett and the runner up was Jan McFarlane with 37 nett on c/b from Kim Stonestreet. In Div.2 the winner was Marie Horan with 34 nett and the runner up was Robyn Cobban with 38 nett. In Div.3 the winner was Reta Maguire with 35 nett and the runner up was Gwen Staveley with 36 nett. The NTP on the 9th.sponsored by Port Macquarie Pro Shop was Jan McFarlane.

Next Mondays event has been changed to a 4BBB stableford event at Emerald Downs tee off at 7.45 - 8.30am.

breeze would stay in, a gamble which paid off.

The catamaran fleet was led home on yardstick

by Dino, who was 13 minutes ahead of the next catamaran, Snot Rocket. Stella broke a tiller extension, but after going ashore for repairs, still finished a distant 3rd, and still a long way ahead of Kimbo 3 who struggled in the light conditions.

The handicap positions were the same as the yardstick positions.

The club championship race for the monohulls was won on yardstick by a pair of veterans, Paul Robertson and Warren Sykes on Flembouyant, followed by Voyager, Blue Goose, Splash Dance, and, despite several breakages, Deep Purple.

Handicap was won by the ever-improving Splash Dance, followed by Voyager, Flembouyant, Deep Purple, and Blue Goose.

Next weekend was tentative for a summer series race, depending on who was here over Easter. However, next Saturday and Sunday, Queens Lake Sailing Club are having a ‘Geriatric’ series for over 50s (or anyone who wishes to sail and has some sort of excuse why they still qualify), which is set up as a light-hearted, fun weekend. There will be one longish race on Saturday and two shortish races on Sunday, and if anyone finishes a course (if there is one), results may be decided on a show of hands.

The following weekend, April 12, is the next race in the summer series, back to 1pm start because daylight savings will be finished.
