Hikes hit highrises

By CHRISTINA PARKIN

OWNERS of new units being built in Port Macquarie can expect to bear the brunt of increased land valuations.

It is highly likely developers will pass on the increases associated with a positive movement in land valuations to purchasers of new highrise apartment projects planned for the city hub.

Debbie Moore, Principal of Debbie Moore Real Estate, said that while the new valuations showed increased land values, this would not necessarily mean an increase in rates.

She said existing residential owners probably would not be too adversely affected.

She said there may have been some confusion through reports which were based on the recent issue of the NSW Valuer General’s Notices of Valuation for July 1, 2015, land values.

A release quoted an overall percentage change in land valuations for the total local government areas of Port Macquarie-Hastings as 10.08% and minus 5.53% for the Kempsey Shire.

“Simply put, these figures really only reflect the total availability of land for potential development,” said Ms Moore.

“Compared to Kempsey, Port Macquarie has seen large tracts of land open up close to the

Pacific Highway in the Sovereign Hills area, with 400 lots in Stirling Green added to those in College Rise and Barton Ridge.

“Estates such as Ascot Park and Lake Innes have also been opened up to accommodate expected demand from the new Charles Sturt University and Base Hospital extensions.

“When you drill down into the specifics of the valuation data, you can see there is some movement in the high density residential in the CBD areas of William Street, with limited movement in the low density residential in existing areas of Port Macquarie and industrial blocks in the Lake Road industrial precinct.”

NSW Valuer General Simon Gilkes said land values were a factor used by councils to calculate rates,” Mr Gilkes said.

“But changes in land value don’t necessarily lead to similar changes in rates,” he said.

Ms Moore said the ‘mum and dad’ owners of residential land probably would not see much effect on their rates. Buyers in new highrise developments however, may not be so lucky.

“The most significant effect from this valuation is that property developers will most likely pass on the rise to the buyers of the apartments and units in the highrise developments about to be built in central Port Macquarie,” Ms Moore said.

Art imitates life in the forest The photo above looks just like a scene of the forest floor, with its leaf litter and plants struggling to reach the light. But look again... Are they real growing plants? Or are they manmade? And if they are manmade, what are they made of? It’s difficult to tell but at the Glasshouse an exhibition reveals the full story of a three-year project to convert rubbish into art, creating a Frugal Forest of the stuff people throw out.

Creativity blooms on recycled forest floor

By CHRISTINA PARKIN

Bryony Anderson, Professor Veena Sahajwalla and Cham Khamsone in the Frugal Forest

“

I began by thinking about the small things we can achieve as individuals that will make a huge difference to the collective

“

REMEMBER when your grandmother saved bits of string, washed out plastic bags and re-used bits of foil?

Imagine giving various items new life to reproduce the landscape of a forest floor – the ultimate recycling environment.

Three years in the making, with over 5000 hours of handwork and input from scientists, artists, musicians, schools and community members across the mid north coast, has resulted in an extraordinary art installation.

The Frugal Forest is the brainchild of Bryony Anderson, an artist and designer, who lives at Pappinbarra, near Wauchope.

Ms Anderson and secondary school teacher Cham Khamsone, also from Pappinbarra, devised the concept of an installation made totally with recycled items and materials.

The Frugal Forest has been designed and created with a lot of community input during workshops over the past three years. It is a free exhibition at Port Macquarie’s Glasshouse until January 24, open daily from 10am.

“Although we launched the website 18 months ago, this project has really been in development nearly all of my youngest son’s life”, said Ms Anderson.

“In fact, Jove has grown up with it and has contributed to the artwork.”

The concept has grown beyond the display itself, to include educational kits and resources to support teachers, introducing a variety of recycling and ecological concepts around leaf litter and fungi from their curriculum.

Even the forest noise soundscape was created by musicians using recycled items.

Rae Howell, an Australian freelance composer and multi-instrumentalist with family on the midnorth coast, composed and worked with another local musician Ben Robinson, and local students and sound engineers, to produce the unique sound track, played by a ‘surround sound’ system also built from salvage.

Nothing is wasted in a natural forest environment and visitors can participate in activities to get them guessing what materials found new life in the installation.

Ms Anderson took her idea to motivate the community to re-think their attitudes to waste to MidWaste, who encouraged her to develop her concepts to ensure it could be displayed in eight local council regions.

More assistance came from Australia Council for the Arts and Port Macquarie Hastings Council and personal donations, in addition to a crowd-

funding campaign which paid for the soundscape.

“I began by thinking about the small things we can achieve as individuals that will make a huge difference to the collective”, said Ms Anderson.

“I’m blown away by how creative everyone’s contributions have been.”

Professor Veena Sahajwalla from the University of NSW Centre for Sustainable Materials Research and Technology agrees.

“We can be swamped by data and find that global problems resulting from waste just too overwhelming”, said Professor Sahajwalla, who visited Port Macquarie to open the exhibition.

“What I love about the Frugal Forest is that it is a community project that everyone can relate to. Kids need to see waste as an opportunity.”

“This inspires a behaviour change.”

The Frugal Forest is at the Glasshouse until January 24 before travelling to centres on the north coast until mid-2017. More information at www.frugalforest.oneoffmakery.net.au/

THE next time you go down to the post office, you’re in for a big surprise!

The basic postage rate (BPR) has increased 43 per cent from 70 cents to $1, which applies to the new regular service.

All Australians now have a choice of priority and regular letter services for sending their letters within Australia, in line with what has been available to business customers since June 2014.

The priority letters service offers delivery within one to four business days depending on the destination, while the regular service will take up to two business days longer than priority.

To send a letter at the faster priority speed, customers will need to buy a priority label from their local post office or the Australia Post online shop and place it next to the stamp. A priority label will cost 50 cents.

Australia Post will continue to maintain the concession stamp price at 60 cents, which is available to 5.7 million eligible Australians, and seasonal greeting cards will stay at 65 cents.

Together, concession and seasonal greeting mail accounts for almost half of all mail sent by consumers annually.

The increase to the BPR is only the fifth in 23 years. At $1, the BPR will now be on par with most European countries.

Although many people today use email for written communication, there will be a significant impact on businesses, according to Port Macquarie Mailing Services owner, Jason van der Torre.

“Many businesses will not be happy with having their operational costs rise to this degree,” said Mr van der Torre.

“But it will be an opportunity for many to revise their postage practices and consider getting advice on how best to utilise some of the discounts that Australia Post does offer.

“I also see this as an opportunity to gain more business as ‘mailing services’ can also streamline a lot of the administrative tasks normally performed by staff who could be better utilised attending to other tasks.”

Further information on the pricing changes and how the two-speed letters service works is available online at auspost.com.au/letters and from post offices.

Brought to you by

I KNOW I’m always banging on about how much I love seeing the community pulling together and supporting local and I have come across a few good examples this week.

Firstly, I want to thank all our readers and advertisers that have stood by us with the changes to our distribution … your understanding, encouragement and support has been incredible!

A big congratulations to the Hastings Co-op and Eric from The Other Chef on their collaboration to launch the new Bago Bluff range of condiments.

What a fantastic example of locals working together, including other local businesses in the venture and producing a delicious range of products sourced from local ingredients. Look out for the range in Hastings Co-op stores.I had the opportunity to meet Jan Eldridge the administrative officer from 4 Life Care & Training, what an amazing organisation built on faith and a love for community. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers 4 Life centres provide much needed food parcels, clothing, and life skills training. Details are on page 15.

Last but not least, Port City Bowling Club together with Team Caleb are hosting an event this Sunday from 3pm – 6pm to raise much needed funds to help a local family … see page 7 to see how you can offer support.

I love community!

Road is a beacon of local concern OVER 300 local people wrote to Port Macquarie Hastings Council in May, 2015, seeking access for people with disabilities to the Lighthouse and a safe footpath on Lighthouse Road (East).

That community interest was supported by the Greater Port Macquarie Tourist Association with well-reasoned arguments showing the importance to tourism and the general local economy.

Rotary Sunrise, which has already done so much to enhance the Lighthouse precinct also wrote in support, drawing attention to the poor road surface and danger to pedestrians.

Council already had identified the road as special and spent over $100,000 on consultancy fees for final plans so that the work would be ‘shovel ready’ by June 30, 2014.

The Council, although deciding

to again make no provision in its 2015/2016 budget, did resolve positively.

Council decided to support Rotary Sunrise in its work on Council’s own approved master plan for Tacking Point and was also to ‘actively seek grant funding’ for the Road/footpath works.

The current position is that Council is yet to prepare any plans/ costings for the access ramp and has

not made any grant application for the ramp nor for improvements to the road/footpath.

Both State and Federal Members of Parliament are willing to assist but need to an approach from the Council.

This ‘progress report’ confirms that more initiative is needed.

Unhealthy pursuit EARLY in 2015 I advised Dr Gillespie that the Government had approved health insurance premium increases of an average approximating 14% but many thousands had increased by 22% during the term of this government.

The member for Lyne responded that he understood my concerns and would pursue it with Health Minister Ley. Six months later I received a dismissive letter from Ms Ley who incredibly missed the whole point which would be obvious to the average school student. Some pursuit!

On this entire planet any

Dan Murphy’s create more mayhem, with drivers unwilling to let them in.

Adding to the confusion, the Horton Street entrance is wide enough to allow entry and an awkward exit.

I have been tooted at by people driving the wrong way, using the entry from Horton Street as an exit, believing I am blocking their way.

No point telling these rude people that it’s an entrance, not an exit.

And once they do emerge on to the road via the wrong access, they create more confusion for those wanting to turn left to go to Coles further down.

I avoid it all now by going to Liquorland but someone should take

government which allowed the above excess without investigation would be ridiculed. Little wonder that the Federal Budget is such a mess.

One can only hope that 2016 brings outstanding candidates for Lyne/Cowper and beyond.

another look and swap the access roads around busy Dan Murphy’s.

Meanwhile, more traffic angst along Lake Road near the private hospital. It’s fine having a the 40km/h speed limit outside the hospital as this is a busy area during the day with elderly people crossing the road and the associated medical precinct of dental and cardio specialists.

But is it necessary to make it 40km/h around the clock?

There is virtually no traffic, pedestrian or otherwise, in the area after 7pm. Why not let drivers revert to 50km/h between 7pm and 6am.

Positive news for residents of Lower Lord St

By SUE PATERICK AFTER years of flooding and frustration, residents of Lower Lord Street are feeling more positive after a meeting with Kempsey Shire Council (KSC) on site last week.

According to one resident, Pauline Ratcliff, the bottom level of her home has been flooded numerous times since 2006 and their house insurance has risen as a result.

At first Mrs Ratcliff and her husband, Ross, thought it was just their land but after chatting to a few neighbours, they realised the flooding issues affected others in the street.

As the name suggests, Lower Lord Street runs below and parallel to the old Pacific Highway in a section known locally as Lord Street.

Between these two roads is a steep embankment that the residents feel contributes to their flooding issues.

“In times of heavy rain that embankment resembles the Waterfall Way in Dorrigo,” Mrs Ratliff said.

“The water seeps underneath the road which suggests to us that we need curb and guttering and subterranean drains.”

There is a storm water drain in the street but according to Mrs Ratcliff, it regularly fills with debris and overflows in heavy rain.

“When we found out that Council was spending a lot of money on the top road, we

felt we were being overlooked,” she added.

The maintenance and repair of Lord Street was the Roads and Maritime Services’ (RMS) responsibility prior to the Pacific Highway bypass and has now been handed over to KSC. As part of the handover, KSC negotiated with the RMS for funding to maintain the old highway corridor over the next 10 years and received $3.4 million.

According to Robert Scott, KSC Director Infrastructure Services, rehabilitation works on the Lord Street will shift the crown of the road towards the lower side.

He said this means more of the upper road will drain back towards the high side and into that drainage system, instead of the present situation where it goes over the edge onto the lower road.

The works will also include new kerb and guttering to provide a safe transition between the road and the footpath.

“This will improve the performance of the existing drainage system and reduce the tendency for water to pool in the gutter between the driveways,” Mr Scott explained.

“This is suspected as contributing to the groundwater problems experienced at some of the residences on the lower side.”

Council will also try to tidy up the toe of the slope on the lower level to direct water to the existing stormwater pits by reinstating the shallow ‘v’ drain.

“We will look at what can be done to reduce

Some of the Lower Lord Street residents, Ross and Pauline Ratcliff, Shelly Wheeldon and Esther Komar, after the meeting with Kempsey Shire Council regarding flooding issues in their street. the drainage issues, possibly introducing additional collection pits so that the risk of the inlet pit in the low spot being blocked or overloaded is greatly reduced,” Mr Scott added.

“We are also looking at deflecting water on the upper road toward the drainage pit before it is allowed to drain onto the lower road, and formalising the edge of the embankment.

“I don’t think we will have the funding to do the full length but whatever we can do now will be an improvement.”

The residents are also concerned about maintenance issues of the embankment such weeds, rubbish and snakes.

Mr Scott said Council eventually wanted to upgrade the embankment with mulching and an appropriate ground cover to reduce the longterm maintenance.

“We are also considering trialling the outreach mower as this might help us to improve the maintenance of the slope in the short term until we can do the mulching and planting.”

Barney’s unbreakable spirit I was “devastated and thought my life was virtually over. The biggest thing that helped me get through was my family.

“

By SUE PATERICK WHEN told you will never walk again some people give up and want to die, but others just get on with living.

Seventeen years ago Jeffery ‘Barney’ Barnett went to work logging in the bush like any other day, only on that day the unthinkable happened.

A felled tree hit Barney in the head and back.

Barney knew his injuries were bad because he couldn’t move.

Logging out in the bush is a dangerous business and everyday Barney’s wife, Wendy, sent her husband off with a little fear in her heart, never thinking she would get that fateful phone call.

Barney was rushed to the Royal North Shore Hospital where they told him he was now a paraplegic.

He had a lot of serious injuries to various parts of his body, spent 56 days in hospital, two weeks in rehabilitation and had four operations in three years.

“It was hell,” Wendy said.

“Our lives were turned upside down medically, financially and emotionally.”

With three young children at the time, Wendy had to leave her sons with their grandparents while she went to Sydney to be with Barney.

And while the Barnett family unit was torn apart it didn’t break.

“I was devastated and thought my life was virtually over,” said Barney, nursing his new grandson, Flint, on his knee.

“The biggest thing that helped me get through was my family.”

Even though Barney was pretty banged up,

Damien with his amazing Dad, Jeffery ‘Barney’ Barnett, make a great team and run their own logging business he looked around that hospital ward and realised there were other people a lot worse off than him.

Barney like his Dad, Granddad and Great Grandfather, were loggers, so that was all he knew how to do and what he loved doing.

Every tree, every log, every job is different and so every day is a new and exciting challenge.

And it was this passion that drove Barney on.

He wasn’t about to sit in a wheelchair in his house in East Kempsey and watch the traffic drive by.

So when the court case was finalised years after the accident and Barney was awarded compensation, he bought a 73-hectare property

at Sherwood.

“It’s all about whether you want to do something or not with your life,” Barney said.

It was his children who suggested they buy their own dozer.

One dozer led to another and then a few logging trucks until JDM Barnetts Logging and Sawmilling was founded 12 years ago.

All three sons worked in the family business, but Jamie and Michael found work in Kempsey, so it was only Damien who stayed on.

“I was the only one with the patience to stay working with Dad,” he said, with a cheeky grin.

And like his Dad, Damien loves working out

in the bush.

He is now the logger while Barney drives the dozer.

‘It’s very peaceful work,” Damien said.

“It’s also very physical so it keeps me fit.”

For Barney, who is still in constant pain, having another generation to take over the reins one day is a beautiful thing.

And while Wendy knows what happened to Barney was a freak accident, she knows that freak things can happen so she still worries.

“Every day I worry when they go off to work and every day I’m really happy to see them come home again.”

Hats off to handy band of knitters heading up Nepal beanie and rug drive

INSIDE COUNCIL

With Cr Sharon Griffiths

Portfolios: Organisational Efficiency and IT, Glasshouse

By CHRISTINA PARKIN

Port Macquarie Rotary members Gai Nixon, President Phil Perry and Vice President Bill Nixon with beanies and rugs ready to send to Nepal

“

The gifts were warmly received by both young and old in Nepalese villages distributed the items to families who had lost their homes in the earthquake.

“Although they were simple items, the beanies were a big hit, especially among the children and elderly,” said Mr Nixon.

Further donations of knitted caps and beanies of all sizes, any knitting wool or wadding to fill knitted toys would be wonderful

“

THE simple gesture of providing hand knitted beanies and rugs has given one small village in Nepal a lot of comfort.

“The response has been overwhelming since the story of our last donation in October last year,” says Port Macquarie Rotary Vice President, Bill Nixon.

“We gained a couple of knitters from Garden Village just from the newspaper article in addition to our Rotary Inner Wheel members, other Port Macquarie Rotary members and the Manning Valley Knitting Group.

The beanies and rugs will be taken by individual Rotary members visiting Nepal in the next six months.

“Postage and freight options have become too unreliable, so at least we know the knitted items will get to those in need when they are transported by individuals,” said Mr Nixon.

Past President Deborah Loveday put up her hand to establish a relationship with a Rotary club in Nepal.

“I have been liaising with Ranjeev Shrestha of the Rotary Club of Dhulikhal and he is really pleased about the donation,” Mrs Loveday said.

Last year’s knitted items were taken by a group led by Brenden Wood of the Grace Church in Port Macquarie, as part of an International Mission Ministries trip. They travelled to Lalitpur, in the Kathmandu Valley, where they

“Further donations of knitted caps and beanies of all sizes, any knitting wool or wadding to fill knitted toys would be wonderful,” said Port Macquarie International Director, Mrs Gai Nixon, who can be contacted on 6582 7628.

IT has been shown that there can be many positive aspects and outcomes surrounding volunteer and community involvement.

Many members of the community have sought advice from council regarding projects they would like to complete.

In the past however, some of these proposed projects have been difficult to launch. This was due primarily to the associated risks.

In 2012 an initial trial was undertaken to consider procedure, management and risk surrounding volunteers and volunteer projects.

Three years later, and after many hiccups and a few false starts, the framework for volunteer community members and groups wanting to undertake a project is now in place.

The guidelines enable the community to complete projects as a one-off or on a continuous basis, by describing and considering what is required and how the project will be completed, including managing workplace health and safety.

Some of the recent projects undertaken are: beach to beach Camden Haven; lighthouse improvements and Mrs Yorks Garden Port Macquarie as well as Lasiandra Park Wauchope.

The graffiti blaster project has been implemented and if you are interested I am sure it would be greatly appreciated if you could join to assist in tackling the problem.

The number of people participating is increasing and you are encouraged to contact council if you would like to assist with community projects or discuss your proposal, no matter how large or small.

The forms may appear complicated, but staff will offer assistance to guide you through the required application and work process.

How long have you lived in or around Port Macquarie?

Originally from Coogee Beach in Sydney, I moved to Portugal for 12 years. I returned to Australia 3 years ago and was searching for a special new environment for my family. That’s when I found Port Macquarie.

What do you love most about the Hastings?

There is a lovely community spirit and a great pace of life. The natural surroundings, the wonderful birdlife, the cleanliness and of course the beaches.

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

I am very fortunate to work with the incredible team at McGrath Estate Agents.

I love the high level of professionalism, the teamwork, our strategy. I love being the trusted adviser for all of my clients and it is a great feeling delivering fantastic results.

What do you like least about your work?

Because I love being out and about anything that keeps me in the office is probably what I like least. That would normally involve paperwork.

How do you start your day?

I like to be awake by 6am, take Pip, my Maltese Schitzu dog for a run, do a short yoga and meditation practice, play nice music, eat breakfast with my daughter, Liliana. I usually eat yoghurt, fruit, seeds and nuts, read my goals and daily calendar and dress and fly out the door!

What do you do in your spare time?

What spare time? Working 6 days a week and long hours, doesn’t allow me a lot of spare time, so any free time to spend with Liliana is very precious to me. I love swimming in the ocean, kayaking, dancing around my house to great music, bike riding and working in my vegie garden.

What is the achievement you are most proud of?

When I see my 7-year-old daughter loving and caring for people, animals and nature, I feel very happy that everything that I believe in and stand for is naturally being passed on to my beautiful little girl.

TARIFFS on exports to China and Korea have been slashed further this month giving local exporters a positive start to the New Year.

The new cuts, which came into effect from January 1, are the second under the ChinaAustralia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) and the third under the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA).

ChAFTA coming into force in late 2015 was a significant achievement. It meant there was an immediate round of tariff cuts in December, followed quickly by cuts.

This ensures the benefits of the agreement with China flow quickly through to local exporters.

Since it came into force in December 2014, Australian businesses have been quick to capitalise on the agreement with Korea, and these latest additional cuts will further enhance the benefits our exporters are experiencing under this agreement.

Cuts to tariffs in Korea will benefit local exporters who specialise in areas such as mangoes (originally 30%, goes to 21%); asparagus (originally 27%, goes to zero) and non-butter dairy spreads (originally 8%, goes to zero) The cuts to tariffs in China such as bottled wine (originally 14%, goes to 8.4%); boneless chilled beef (originally 12%, goes to 9.6%) and fresh cheese (originally 12%, goes to 9.6%) will also benefit a number of our local industries.

CANBERRA CONNECTIONS With Dr David Gillespie Federal MP for Lyne

The agreements with Korea and China – along with the trade agreement with Japan – form a powerful trifecta which will open up many doors for local businesses, given the growing demand across Asia for our world-class goods and services.

These agreements are not just for big business; they’re not just for those companies that are already active exporters. Small to Medium Enterprises in a range of sectors can also benefit from the preferential access the agreements have secured, putting our home-grown businesses in the driver’s seat in these lucrative Asian markets.

I urge existing and potential exporters in the local area to explore the opportunities available under Australia’s FTAs. Detailed information on each agreement can be found at: the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or Austrade websites or www. openforbusiness.gov.au

Home building reforms NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe is encouraging builders and home owners to have their say during a wide ranging consultation about reforms to the state’s Home Building Compensation Fund (formerly known as home warranty insurance).

“The Fund is part of NSW’s consumer protection framework for home building, which also includes builder licensing, regulated contracts and dispute resolution arrangements under home building laws, as well as the general protections of the Australian Consumer Law,” Mr Stowe said.

“The NSW Government is examining how we can make the Fund more efficient while ensuring appropriate protections remain in place for consumers.”

NSW Fair Trading has released a Discussion Paper canvassing a range of reform options, including: • Retaining the current scheme but reducing administrative costs and increasing premiums; • reducing the insurance period or scope of work that is covered; • a combination of the above two; • a voluntary insurance scheme; or • a combination of a voluntary and mandatory scheme.

“NSW Fair Trading will not recommend changes to the Fund until we hear the views of all stakeholders – including builders, industry groups, insurers and homeowners.

I encourage everyone to have their say and I look forward to reviewing their feedback,” Mr Stowe said.

OK, so let’s just paint a word picture my

THOSE groups, usually dictionary groups, that come up with the words of the year seem to be trying very hard to outdo each other.

The Oxford people have come up, not with a word, but with an emoji.

Okay, so you want to know what an emoji is.

It’s a bit difficult to explain, but to me an emoji is something like those little things that people put at the end of some emails.

An emoji might be a sad face, or a happy face, or some other type of face, or not even a face at all.

But how can an emoji – any emoji - be the word of the year? A face is not even a word.

Some people described it as a picturegraph.

I had thought the people at Oxford would not allow themselves to reach this level, but I was wrong.

At least they didn’t decide that w00t was their word, as the Merrian Webster group decided a few years back. I have never seen w00t used as a word before or since, but I admit I have led a sheltered life, so that might be the reason.

The Merrian-Webster people are from the USA but the list was from the UK and the USA, decided w00t was ‘a small word that packs a pretty big punch’.

Why can’t they just stick with words? They didn’t decide on the picturegraph of the year.

LAURIE BARBER

Maybe they have run out of words. We need another Shakespeare.

I can tell you all about a smiling face or an unhappy face at the end of emails, but what’s the point?

The Oxford people said the picturegraph was included ‘for the first time ever’. Why the word ‘ever’? Let’s hope it is for the last time ever.

Some people have already described the emoji as ridiculous in a quest for the word of the year.

They topped their list of people including emojis with Hilary Clinton. The list even included Dominos Pizza. Make of that what you will.

The Oxford people said the emoji ‘best reflected the ethos, mood and preoccupations of 2015’. So if you haven’t used it during the past year, you should have.

Words that made the short list included refugee, they (a person of unspecified sex) and

Telegraph Point Sport and Recreation Club

even lumbersexual, a young urban male who adopts the style of dress that makes him out to be the rugged outdoor type.

Some other dictionary groups have yet to announce their words of the year, but let’s hope the list doesn’t include another emoji, or even a w00t.

What are some of the words from years past?

Some people thought flapper should have been chosen as the word of the year in 1915, but the idea of dictionaries choosing a word of the year did not start until about 1990.

Macquarie has chosen expressions such as binge watching, bamboo ceiling and life hacking.

It also included, mansplain (‘it assumes that a woman will be ignorant of the subject matter’).

I didn’t say it. That’s what the Macquarie people said. One of the most relevant, if unusual, words was the American Dialect Society’s bushlips, as in George W. Bush’s comment ‘read my lips’.

Maverick made it in 2008. This was the subject for one of my columns in 1995.

My mother used to say ‘because’. That word covered all eventualities.

I have just noticed that most of the words have little red lines under them as I type them on my computer. Does that mean they still aren’t recognised by the world’s dictionaries? lauriebarber.com; lbword@midcoast.com.au

Radiology facility world-class Scanned “images are

An MRI machine is able to scan a body and provide high resolution images for interpretation.

This particular machine creates the highest resolution of image possible, which greatly assists the clinician to interpret and diagnose more accurately. It also reduces the time to perform a scan due to its size and power.

Patients suffering claustrophobia during MRIs should consider Port X-Ray because this 3T MRI machine has the largest bore available with a built-in personalised music system.

Scans direct to your mobile phone Port X-Ray has a unique technology where your scanned images are sent directly to your phone or tablet via a free app. It is awesome for showing baby scans to friends or showing off that broken bone to your mates. It also has a Facebook upload feature!

Women’s Clinic Port X-Ray is excited to announce that it will be opening a dedicated Women’s Clinic in February focusing on obstetrics and gynaecological procedures.

The Women’s Clinic setting allows for a quiet, comfortable and caring environment where women can spend time with their sonographer. For pregnancy scans, the clinic is set up for the partner to view the scan on a large screen TV from a lounge in the room. All scans can be sent direct to a phone or tablet.

It is exciting for a local Port Macquarie business to offer world-class radiological services to local patients and their doctors. Contact Port X-Ray at 65 Lord Street, or call 5525 3000 for an appointment.

This is where Port Macquarie X-Ray on Lord Street (near Port Macquarie Council) is able to offer a boutique clinical service where patients can park easily and access same day appointments for most investigations.

Not only X-Ray and ultrasound, but CT and MRI technologies are available in this ‘one-stop’ facility. Next time your doctor needs you to have a radiological test, insist on using Port Macquarie X-Ray, which is your right as a medical consumer.

Port Macquarie X-Ray is a locally owned and managed specialist radiology practice – locals helping locals.

They lead the industry in providing specialised scans and quality detailed reports while providing a premium professional yet personalised service to patients.

Although the purpose-built practice is only three years old with the most ‘state of the art’ equipment in the region, it is more like a day-spa than a traditional medical facility.

Unique technology A significant investment in the technology has been made with the purchase of a 3 Tesla (3T) MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine, the most up-to-date available in the world. This 3T MRI technology and is available to patients with bulk billing. Unlike other practices in the region which have only 1.5T machines.

Our favourite pet

IT’S a little known fact that fish are actually Australia’s most popular pet, with over 10 million currently being cared for across the country.

To celebrate these fantastic pets, Petbarn Port Macquarie is hosting Aqua Fun Days this weekend to educate pet-parents on how to best care for their finned friends.

Sarah Rogers, Store Manager at Petbarn Port Macquarie at Port Home Zone, says that aquatic animals are amongst the easiest and most enjoyable pets. While you may have lost a goldfish or two as a child, with correct care, fish can actually live for a number of years.

“Many people don’t know where to start when it comes to looking after fish and other aquatic animals,” she said.

“Depending on the type of fish, they can be a surprisingly low-maintenance pet for any age and with the correct set-up, maintenance is minimal and many fish live long happy lives.

Come along to our Aqua Fun Days on the weekend and learn all you need to know.”

Aquatic animals are ideal for families or individuals who want the benefits of a pet, but are unable to provide the care and commitment that a four-legged friend requires. Aquatic pets take up minimal space and time and ongoing costs are small. They make a beautiful centrepiece in a central spot in your home and are a great starting point to teach children responsibility in how to care for a pet.

A meeting of ‘like minds’ A network for our emerging entrepreneurs

By LIZZIE McLEOD ONE of the Mid North Coast’s aspiring entrepreneurs is giving other innovative spirits a helping hand.

The Hastings Innovation Network has been launched by Kellee Morgan, pictured, who started her own app ‘Housemate Ninja’. Her aim is to help other business savvy individuals avoid the pitfalls that block great ideas.

Kellee knows through her own experience how crucial a guiding hand can be when someone is in the ‘start-up’ stage.

“I had a friend Susan who worked with the Port council and she had a hybrid network which was about connecting young people together,” she explains.

“She went overseas and I took the idea in more of a technological and innovative direction to set up the innovation network. So it really stems from that hybrid network.”

Kellee says she had difficulties in finding the right person to turn to for business advice and mentoring.

“When I first conceived the idea (Housemate Ninja) I didn’t know who to talk to and get advice on starting my business and building an app in

particular,” she says.

“So I was just searching around and came across local community organisations that do offer mentoring and business support. The Innovation Network brings the community together in one place and is for people who have ideas and want to take them further.

“There are many people in the Port Macquarie - Hastings region wanting to take their ideas to

the next level, but just don’t know how.

“I think being in Port Macquarie and it being so hard to find opportunities for jobs, young people such as myself have to make their own opportunities and be our own boss.

“So I think there is a lot of people trying to do it but not really sure how to break out of their own home office environment and reach the community. I think this will definitely bring a lot of young entrepreneurial people together.”

However, Kellee understands that in starting a new business or idea, there are always stumbling blocks along the way.

“The biggest stumbling block I would say is probably just knowing the steps to take,” she says.

“Everyone has different levels of expertise.

You might be a developer and you don’t know how to market it after you’ve created a really good product. You might have a really good idea, but you don’t have any business knowledge to really understand the requirements of registering a company, product liability, insurance, so it’s really just a matter of filling in the gaps for people so they can fill in the whole picture and find the supporting skills to support their own talent.”

The Hastings Innovation Network will hold

regular monthly informative events in a relaxed environment to provide advice on how to bring ideas to life. They will also be running a separate monthly ‘shark tank/dragons den’ style event where people can pitch business ideas for feedback and advice from the community.

Kellee grew up in rural Narrabri and went on to study business and marketing at the University of New England in Armidale.

“When I graduated I came to Port Macquarie to try to find opportunities, and because I loved the place. I came to port Macquarie in 2010.”

Her creative side was evident before then.

“When I was in high school I was always creative, I won a few logo design competitions,” she recalls. “My grandma used to sell things at the markets and I used to do these little paintings that she would sell. But it wasn’t until I had my kids that I started to do hand-made business things for pocket money. And then I wanted to take it to a more official business level and create my current app.”

And the survey says ... wallets grow weary during holidays IF you’re spending more on fruit, ice cream and movies this holiday season, you’re probably not alone.

The last national Household Expenditure Survey revealed that Australian households interviewed during December 2009 and January 2010 spent an average of $15 a week on fruit and nuts and $3 per week on ice cream, icy poles or frozen yoghurt. They also spent, on average, $7 a week on cultural activities, such as movie and concert tickets, zoos, galleries and museums.

During this holiday season, interviewers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) will again be visiting households across Australia

and collecting information on household income and spending. The data will be collated as part of the Survey of Income and Housing and the Household Expenditure Survey, which are conducted together every six years.

Since June 2015, the ABS interviewers have visited over 9000 households. With surveys continuing to be conducted through to June 2016, interviewers have reached the halfway mark.

“Our goal is to interview nearly 19,000 households to get a complete picture of household income and expenditure over 201516. It’s our new year’s resolution to hit this

target,” said Dr Paul Jelfs, General Manager of Population and Social Statistics at the ABS. While there are many interesting facts from the survey about how Australians spend their money, Dr Jelfs said the Survey of Income and Housing and Household Expenditure Survey are used to help understand the economic wellbeing of individuals and households in Australia. The results are essential for ensuring that Australia’s official measure of inflation, the Consumer Price Index, reflects the latest expenditure patterns of Australians.

“The results from these surveys are crucial for informing government about the cost of

living for Australians,” said Dr Jelfs.

“These surveys assist in pinpointing groups of people most in need of assistance. It helps government assess tax and welfare policy impacts and plan future services in areas such as health, housing, child care, disability, transport and education.

“The success of these surveys relies on the participation of the public. I encourage those who are selected for the surveys to help us reach our target and make sure we are collecting information that represents the experience of all Australians,” said Dr Jelfs.

Public warned of ‘SES’ scammers

Library Manager Adele Miles (left), No One Fights Alone founding members Patricia and Denis Knudsen and the Oncology Clinic’s Nursing Unit Manager Jenny Baroutis are delighted about the opening of the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute’s Community Library.

Easing the cancer battle New library at Port Macquarie hospital

A NEW library has opened for patients, families and carers of people with cancer at the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute in Port Macquarie.

Operated by Port Macquarie Base Hospital Library staff, the service has been funded by a Hastings-based support group for local cancer patients – No One Fights Alone.

Founding member Patricia Knudsen said the group was passionate about supporting local residents who had a cancer diagnosis.

“Our committee members and supporters know how important it is not to have to travel to receive treatment, which is why we are so passionate about supporting cancer services at Port Macquarie Base Hospital,” Mrs Knudsen

said. “We fundraise solely for the base hospital in support of cancer patients and their families.”

The library, which was established with a $3300 donation from No One Fights Alone, can be accessed by any member of the community.

Visitors only need to register to borrow from a collection of books and DVDs related to all aspects of cancer.

Library Manager Adele Miles said a survey of patients and staff at the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute identified topics of interest, such as information on specific cancers and their treatment, complementary therapies, personal stories of people who have had cancer, dealing with grief, body image and sexuality, spirituality,

survivorship, diet and exercise and resources to support the children of cancer patients.

“No One Fights Alone very generously donated the shelving and equipment needed to set up the library after fundraising specifically for this purpose,” Ms Miles said.

“We have now purchased the first batch of books and invite patients, their carers or family members to join the library so they can borrow books or DVDs.” Anyone wanting further information about No One Fights Alone, or its fundraising activities, can contact Mrs Knudsen on 0448 604 541.

THE recent release of the Bureau of Meteorology’s Annual Climate Statement confirms the dominant influence of El Nino on Australia’s climate during 2015, with warmer than average temperatures recorded across the country.

Rainfall was well below average in southwest Western Australia, southeast South Australia, western to central Victoria, much of Tasmania and a large area of inland Queensland.

Acting Assistant Director for Climate Information Services, Dr Scott Power, said temperatures ranked as the fifth warmest on record for Australia in 2015.

“The national mean temperature was 0.83°C above average, with a number of notable

heatwaves during the year and record-breaking temperatures from October to December.”

Dr Power said the Bureau declared an El Nino in early May and it went on to develop into the most significant El Nino in nearly two decades, ranking alongside the El Ninos of 1997–98 and 1982–83.

Long-term drought in Queensland continued, following three successive poor wet-seasons, and a slow start to the 2015–16 wet season.

Drought areas increased through Victoria, South Australia and southwest Western Australia throughout 2015.

Other significant climate facts in 2015 include: • For Australia as a whole, rainfall was 5%

below average for the year, at 443.7 mm.

• January was wetter than average for large areas, but it was drier than average across the country for most of the year, with a notably warm and dry end to the year.

• September 2015 was the third-driest September on record nationally.

• Seven tropical cyclones occurred during 2015: Lam, Marcia, Olwyn, Nathan, Ikola, Quang, and Racquel. Cyclone Marcia was the strongest at landfall (as category 5, near Yeppoon, on February 20).

• A record autumn hot spell occurred across large parts of northern and central Australia during March.

• An East Coast Low between 20 and 23 April

ACTING NSW Fair Trading Commissioner John Tansey is warning consumers across NSW about scam SES collectors.

Mr Tansey said the NSW SES had received reports from members of the public about phone calls from alleged NSW SES collectors.

“The NSW SES does not collect donations either via the phone, personal visits or buckets in the street,” he said.

“The NSW SES Volunteer’s Association only raises funds for NSW SES volunteers through a phone raffle, however these raffles are suspended in areas impacted by storms and flooding.”

The NSW SES Volunteers Association raffle is a legitimate raffle and the caller clearly identifies themselves as being from the NSW SES Volunteers Association.

Please refer to the Fund Raising and Raffles page of the NSW SES Volunteer’s Association for more information www. secure.nswsesva.org.au/current-raffle.aspx.

Mr Tansey said it was also timely to remind the community that people offering or carrying out general building work valued at more than $5000 (labour and materials) on residential properties in NSW are required to be licensed. Specialist work such as plumbing, draining, gasfitting and electrical work must be licensed no matter what the value of the work “Do not deal with itinerant traders for home building work after storms and flooding or at any time,” Mr Tansey said.

“Use trusted businesses, properly licensed and with a stake in maintaining their reputation.”

Consumers should ask to see a trader’s licence, which looks similar to a drivers licence with details of the trader’s name and licence category.

Check trade licences at www.fairtrading. nsw.gov.au or call Fair Trading on 13 32 20 or call into any Service NSW Centre for advice and assistance.

BOM annual statement confirms El Nino influence caused severe weather and flooding throughout the Sydney, Hunter and Central Coast regions of New South Wales.

• Significant bushfires occurred in Sampson Flat (SA) in January, Lancefield (Vic.) and Port Lincoln (SA) in October, Esperance (WA) in mid-November, Pinery (SA) in late November, and near Lorne (Vic) in late December.

• A tornado caused significant damage in the southern suburbs of Sydney on December 16.

Nationally, Australian temperatures have warmed approximately one degree Celsius since 1950, consistent with global climate trends. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2015 is almost certain to be the warmest year on record globally.

Will your Will work for you?

GREG Smith, principal lawyer at GHS Legal (Wills & Probate Lawyers) with over 30 years’ experience gives the following examples of what may happen if you don’t have your Will reviewed every few years by an experienced Wills & Probate lawyer: Bob lost his wife to cancer and suffered ill health before dying last year.

Bob had not had his will reviewed since he signed it in 2002. Bob’s daughter Jane had married Tom in 2004 but their marriage had ended in 2013 and they were now fighting over a property split in the Family Court.

Bob died in 2014 leaving Jane 1⁄2 of his estate before Jane’s Family Law property settlement was signed off. Over $150,000 of Jane’s inheritance ended up in Tom’s pocket.

Peter signed his Will in 2001 leaving everything to his 3 adult children and allowing his disabled son Mike to live rent free in the family home for life.

Peter and Mary married in 2010 but he never got around to having his Will reviewed before he died after a short illness in 2013.

After Peter’s funeral, his children were dismayed to hear that the 2010 marriage revoked Peter’s will and that Mary would inherit the family home and the bulk of Peter’s investments and superannuation. Mike had to move out and

live with his elder sister and her family while waiting for public housing.

Mike contested the will but after more than $100,000 in legal fees, Mary still kept the bulk of Peter’s estate (which she then left to her own children). Peter’s other children got nothing.

Eve made a Will leaving her entire estate to her husband Tom and to their children if Tom died before her. Eve died and Tom eventually remarried (to Susan) but after 10 years Susan left him. Half of Eve’s estate ended up in Susan’s pocket. Tom had to sell the family home to pay the Family Law settlement and moved in with his daughter.

Bill died, leaving everything to his 3 children equally. Bill’s son Geoff, a single father of 3 young children, still had 1 year to go on his bankruptcy after his plumbing business had failed. Geoff’s entire 1/3 share was taken by his bankruptcy trustee to pay off his tax debt and other creditors. Geoff was left with nothing from his father’s estate.

In each case an updated will would have protected their families.

Ring toll free on 1300 132 242 to make an appointment to meet Greg in Port Macquarie or Forster for your free Will health check.

FREE HEALTH CHECK for your LAST WILL & TESTAMENT Have any of the following applied to you since you made your Will?

Once you have made out a Will, ensure it remains valid throughout life’s changes

SPAR Express at your service

IF you need it, chances are you’ll find it at SPAR Express Port Macquarie in Waniora Shopping Village, and always with a smile.

Owner managers Paul and Ula Jordan support their local community, offering groceries, NSW lotteries, fresh produce and food to go.

“We aim to meet the demands of customers for everyday items and be the leaders in the convenience grocery store market in Port Macquarie,” Ms Jordan said.

“Paul and I gained our skills experience in the fast-moving consumer goods market both in New Zealand and elsewhere overseas.

“We studied the market in Queensland and NSW before approaching SPAR Australia for the opportunity to franchise. Port Macquarie stood out among four options.”

Ms Jordan said the couple had noticed a trend for healthy “Grab&Go” convenience, and had developed lines including liquid breakfasts,

healthy juices, fresh salads made locally, exciting sandwiches and rolls made in-store, as well as a range of specialty health foods including organic and gluten-free options.

“We also create simple lunch packs for kids as we are positioned near a local public school.

Busy parents are very appreciative of our efforts to save them money and time,” she said.

“The key difference with the SPAR brand is that every store is independently owned.

This allows each store owner the freedom and independence to make decisions that benefit their local customers and broader community.

From day one we used a basic retail rule, ‘keep it fresh, full and inviting’.

“We enjoy friendly chats with our customers.

We are inspired by Maya Angelou’s quote ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’.”

• A close family member has died • You have married or divorced • A child has married or gone into business for themselves • You or your new partner have children from earlier relationships • You have lent money to a family member • You have gone into business with a family member OR • You wish to minimise tax payable on your estate income and maximise your partner’s Centrelink pension • You don’t have a valid Will

Food parcels are packed with care BELIEVE it or not, there are plenty of people in the Hastings and Macleay valleys that struggle on a day to day basis be it trying to meet the cost of living or handling general life skillS. 4 Life Care & Training centres are the initiative of 4 Life Ministries and the organisation’s primary aim is to help the people in need within our communities and provide relief from poverty through encouragement, love and support.

Some of the services provided includes; food parcels, budgeting information, Indigenous support network, quality secondhand children’s clothing and living skills training.

The organisation is approved as a Donation Gift Recipient, charitable not for profit organisation who rely on donations from local businesses and kind individuals in the community.

The centres are run by volunteers and also works with a Work for the Dole crew who are currently establishing a community garden at Kundabung to supply fresh vegetables.

To increase awareness of their work and services in the community and to raise some much needed funds 4 Life Care and Training is holding the Bellbowrie Bazaar tomorrow from 9am to 1pm at Bellbowrie Park. Other Bellbowrie businesses are also getting involved to make this a family-orientated day of fun and will be offering specials to those that come along.

Port Seaplanes back in the air ONE of the icons of the Port Macquarie seascape is back on the water.

Port Macquarie Seaplanes has resumed its services and is now able to honour all bookings and vouchers that have been on hold since the long weekend last October.

Judy’s existing seaplane ‘Charlie’ has been undergoing protracted essential and protective maintenance, with no immediate completion in sight. Judy has had to resort to obtaining another seaplane from Mackay to continue offering the range of services that tourists and locals have come to appreciate.

“Rather than get impatient and angst about the situation, I just had to find a solution,” said Ms Hodge.

“I’m convinced that if you do the right thing, then the universe will look after you. I need to do the right thing by my loyal customers and

local tourists.

“We’re back and delighted to continue bringing you the joy of exploring our exquisite coastline. So looking forward to being able to service all those Gift Vouchers.

Ms Hodge thanked customers for their patience, understanding and continued support.

“Charlie, our little seaplane, is slowly being put back together,” she said.

“The compulsory SIDS programme he underwent was excellent. We decided to do a bit more than was absolutely necessary while we had him opened up - re-treating him with all the special coatings to ensure he lasts many more years. In the meantime, his big sister MQX will be here serving you. She needs a name though. Send suggestions by January 25 for your chance to win a free flight! Best name winner will be announced on January 26.”

‘T’-off for some historic fun Plenty to see and do at Homestead

By LIZZIE McLEOD

THE Douglas Vale Historic Homestead and Vineyard is having its TTTT day this Saturday (January 16).

What’s the four TTTTs you say? Treasures, Teas, Tastings, and Tours.

You will find treasures at Douglas Vale, including trading tables with household bargains and a bric-a-brac with one-off pieces and secondhand gems.

There will also be lots of Devonshire Teas and other refreshments, even a sausage sizzle. Bring a picnic as Douglas Vale has been a favoured picnic venue in Port Macquarie for generations.

Try all that Douglas Vale has to offer, including wine tastings of their six exclusive wines, including two whites, two reds and their popular Portabella Port.

Tour the grounds and Homestead which dates back 150 years and is Port’s oldest timber building. Look through the museum with its many artefacts that take you back in time to the lifestyles of the pioneer residents who established the wine and oyster industries in the area.

Stroll around the many gardens filled with roses and vegetables, peep through the cottage, and continue walking down to the orchards and wander through the orchard of 28 different fruit and nut trees. There is even something for the gardening enthusiasts as ornamental ponds are now a new feature to Douglas Vale.

The volunteers at Douglas Vale Historic Homestead and Vineyard are waiting for you to drop by.

One of the six historic properties remaining in Port Macquarie and the only community run Vineyard in NSW, the Douglas Vale Historic Homestead and Vineyard is a must for a weekend full of fun and adventure for the whole family

to enjoy.

Douglas Vale is open 10am-3pm every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Entry is free but as always donations enable their not-for-profit group to continue to preserve

the much-loved property for future generations.

Douglas Vale is 235 Oxley Highway between Widderson St and Findlay Avenue. For more information phone 65843792 or visit their website on www.douglasvale.com.au

Me Here and Who’s That Girl.

In August 2013, Battle Scars went Platinum in the US, with Guy being one of few artists in Australian music history to achieve this.

In August 2014, Guy released Come Home With Me, the follow up single to the hugely successful Like A Drum, and the second single off the forthcoming album. Come Home With Me was written by Sebastian with Mario Marchetti, known for his work with Demi Lovato and The Black Eyed Peas, and Britt Burton who has worked with the likes of Alexandra Burke and The Wanted.

Guy Sebastian will be performing live at the Glasshouse on January 22 and 23, at 7pm.

Tickets are $85 and can be purchased by calling 02 6581 8888 or online through http:// www.glasshouse.org.au/

A NEW online classifications registration portal is proving to be popular with film festival organisers and computer game expos with almost 200 events registered in the first four months.

The portal gives festival and event organisers a streamlined, accessible way to register the unclassified films and computer games in their program. This is a major change from the old system where event organisers had to apply to the Director of the Classification Board for an exemption from the usual classification requirements for each film or computer game being used at their event.

The portal was launched to coincide with the commencement of new laws for events wishing to exhibit unclassified content.

The registration record can be instantly sent to venues such as cinemas to confirm

event details and if there are last minute changes, such as a late program entry or a change of venue, this can be updated online by event organisers. It is fast, simple and, in combination with the relevant legislative changes, represents a significant reduction in workload for both government and industry.

The online tool is especially important for events organised by community groups and non-profit organisations running on a shoestring budget, often relying on volunteers working long hours in the final push to opening night and enables the art sector to more easily provide the community with access to a broad range of diverse content.

As well as being part of the Government’s deregulation agenda, the registration portal is an important step in the department’s digital transformation journey.

The original Idol is coming Portal for event organisers ONLY just over a week away - Guy Sebastian is coming to Port Macquarie.

The first winner of Australian Idol in 2003, the now successful singer is still winning awards and the love of fans all over the world.

Guy now brings his new ‘You…Me…Us’ regional tour to Port Macquarie on January 22 and 23.

With his new hit single released, Guy is on his first regional tour in more than two years.

Guy Sebastian is one of Australia’s most successful male artist of all time and will be giving an intimate performance for the people of Port.

He has received many awards during his career including 22 ARIA Award Nominations including Single of the Year, Best Male Artist and Best Pop Artist, and won the ARIA Award for Highest Selling Single for Angels Brought

It’s a golden day for Port paddlers Port Macqaurie’s outrigger paddlers (top) and a rival crew from Ettalong are dwarfed by a container ship in Newcastle Harbour during Saturday’s Pasha Dasha Outrigger regatta

GOLF ROUND UP A DARING tactical manoeuvre in the closing stages of Newcastle’s Pasha Dasha regatta has helped deliver another victory for Port Macquarie’s outrigger paddlers.

The Maroro Outrigger Club claimed its third gold medal for the summer after finishing first across the line in the mixed division at Saturday’s event.

The 30km changes format took paddlers on six 5km circuits from Newcastle’s Horseshoe Beach, out of Newcastle Harbour and around an ocean marker.

Despite trailing at all five changeover points, the Maroro crew completed a dominant final leg to edge out crews from Port Stephens and Pittwater in a time of 2hours and 38 minutes.

President Garth Norris said tactics had played a major part in the race.

“We were lucky in a way because we paddle in similar conditions at Port Macquarie, where we get plenty of practice at finding the best lines around the breakwalls in different tidal conditions,” Norris said.

“Coming back into the harbour, other crews were working further out into the run-out tide while we were running a lot closer to the breakwall and we consistently made up ground there.

“On the final lap, we found the lead for the

Hastings Ladies Social Port Macquarie paddlers, Justin Levido (back left), Marty Haynes, Harry Fay, Dee Douglas, Kerry Owens, Courtney Joyce, Wes Byrnes (front left), Fiona Baker, Cathy Cavanagh, Garth Norris and Louise Finnegan

first time when our steerer Wes Byrnes took a tighter line around the rocks coming back into the harbour.

“There wasn’t a lot of margin for error but we had an experienced crew on board and, on the back of another runner in the closing stages, we were able to hang on for a very satisfying win.”

Huge container ships in the harbor provided a remarkable backdrop to the race, which was run in perfect conditions.

“There was a light breeze and the two-metre swell meant there was plenty of help once we got

out into the open water,” Norris said.

“Coming so soon after the Christmas break, we weren’t feeling overly well prepared, but the fact that we improved on our fourth placing in this race last year suggests that we’re tracking pretty well at this stage of the season. ”The other big positive from the race is that everyone did their job – it was an excellent team effort. “Our next big challenge will be the 25km Sydney Harbour Challenge in about six weeks’ time, so we’ll be looking to continue that improvement.”

GOLF resumed for the Hastings ladies for 2016 on Monday January 4, with 23 members playing a Stableford comp at the Port Macquarie course.

In Div 1 (1-18) the winner was Louise Laing with 20 pts and the runner up was Gaylene Fielding with 17 pts. In Div.2 (19-23) the winner was a new member Inger Quinn with 23 pts and the runner up was Lesley Cole with 21 pts. In Div.3 (24-27) the winner was Margaret Rock with 21 pts on a countback from Rosalind Doyle.

The N.T.P. was Louise Laing on the 16th and a Gobbler was recorded by Marie Holloway on the 13th.

The Hastings ladies played their 9 hole Stableford competition at Port Macquarie on Monday January 11 with a good roll up of 31 starters. In Div.1 (1-20) the winner was Marie Horan with 17 pts and the runner up was Lyn Shelsher with 16 pts. In Div.2 (21-24) the winner was Trish Berry with 17 pts on c/b from Betty Waterer. In Div.3 (25-27) the winner was Louise McLaughlin with 16 pts on c/b from Ronda Laws.

The N.T.P. was won by Ronda Laws. We are again at Port Macquarie next Monday January 18 for a Stableford competition. For any Club inquiries or any lady looking for a social 9 holes of golf contact the Captain, Gaylene Fielding on 6584 7010.
