Let’s fill Betty’s ‘bucket’

By CHRISTINA PARKIN

FOR Betty Hicks, the idea of a ‘bucket list’ was to tick off a number of life-long wishes before she turns 90 in September.

However, when her daughter, Bev Carver, explained that the origin of the phrase harked back to ‘kicking the bucket’ and dying, Betty felt that as she has no intention of dying soon, that time is on her side.

Wish number one was granted on Good Friday with a trip to Flynn’s beach to enjoy a swim accompanied by her daughters Bev Carver and Helen Byrnes. Betty was part of the first marchpast team for the Port Macquarie Surf Lifesaving Club in 1947. On the beach that day were the Mayor, Peter Besseling and serendipitously, a

member of her first teaching class, Brian Crewe, now 74.

Betty reluctantly first came to Port Macquarie as a newly qualified teacher – she didn’t even know where the small town was in 1947. Betty initially taught at the Port Macquarie Infants School in William Street – and that brings us to Betty’s second wish.

Betty would love to once again see her first classroom on the hill, in the old building, before the Infants section got a new building. Betty returned to Sydney and came back married to Hastings Hicks, a builder – one of two ‘Mrs Hicks’ teaching at the school at that time.

As a student, Brian Crewe knew Betty both as Miss Dillon and Mrs Hicks, and although Betty had come back to Port Macquarie without a job,

Former local teacher Betty Hicks is keen to tick off her ‘Bucket List’ before she turns 90 in September

a placement was available at the school.

“I was very fortunate that I was able to continue teaching until my daughter Bev was born and she was the eldest of a son (Paul, now deceased) and another daughter, Helen,” said Mrs Hicks.

Betty played golf for 60 years at the Port Macquarie Golf Club and is hoping for a final drive in a golf buggy around all 18 holes and a photo with all the other living life members.

“I made many life-long friends playing golf and we have a ‘Big O Club’ we created to celebrate significant milestone birthdays, but PAGE now sinceFRONT some have goneAD we are down from 26 to 8 so we meet on the first Thursday in both Autumn and Spring,” said Mrs Hicks.

Book recounts cultural ‘birth’

Author Tony Dawson will be presenting his book ‘For the Moral and Intellectual Good – Port Macquarie School of Arts 1840-1951’ at a launch next Monday The book takes its title from a newspaper editorial in 1882 in reference to a public meeting called to consider the desirability of establishing a School of Arts in Port Macquarie.

As Tony Dawson writes in the preface to the book: “The story of the Port Macquarie School of Arts is perhaps emblematic of the aspirations of people living in medium-sized regional towns during the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to emulate, as far as possible, the richer and more diversified cultural life to which

Help make parks more spectacular

By LIZZIE McLEOD

By CHRISTINA PARKIN

PORT Macquarie is about to celebrate one of the city’s true ‘building blocks’.

The Port Macquarie Historical Society will officially launch its latest publication “For the Moral and Intellectual Good – Port Macquarie School of Arts 1840-1951” by Tony Dawson.

The launch will be held at the Port Macquarie Museum, 22 Clarence Street, Port Macquarie at 10am on Monday, April 11.

“The School of Arts was our town’s earliest higher education organisation and the forerunner to the Port Macquarie Municipal Library,” says Clive Smith, Port Macquarie Historical Society President.

“The School of Arts was an institution that endured for almost seven decades and played an important part in the cultural life of Port Macquarie - it was also the premier venue for major community events, local and visiting entertainers, and political meetings.”

Every town once had a ‘School of Arts’ as its cultural and social hub. School of Arts buildings were also the forerunners of the ‘Technical and Further Education’ movement, now known as TAFE. Eisteddfods, music and dance festivals were all based from the local School of Arts building.

For Port Macquarie, their School of Arts was once situated where the Glasshouse now stands – a fitting evolution for that institution.

“We are delighted that Leslie Williams, Member for Port Macquarie, Minister for Early Childhood Education, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, and Assistant Minister for Education has agreed to launch the book,” said Mr Smith.

“Tony (Dawson) has done a thorough job of recounting the history of the School of Arts and the contributions of those involved to tell an engaging story of our town and its people from a cultural perspective through to 1951.”

those living in cities had ready access”.

“For the Moral and Intellectual Good – Port Macquarie School of Arts 1840-1951” is a 155 page book with black and white illustrations.

It is available after the launch from the Port Macquarie Museum for a cost of $15.

This project was supported by Arts NSW’s Cultural Grant Program, a devolved funding program administered by the Royal Australian Historical Society on behalf of the NSW Government.

HERE’S your chance to help make our beautiful national parks even more spectacular.

Crowdy Bay National Park is just a 45-minute drive north of Taree and has been in the constant care of volunteers since 1979 with Australia’s longest running bitou bush eradication project - ‘Kylie’s Beach Camp’.

“The National Parks Association, which is a volunteer association, has been undertaking bush regeneration for 37 years and we just found that it’s a lot more effective if we run a camp rather than just odd days during the year,” said organiser Sue Baker.

The bush regeneration camp will be held at through this week (Tuesday April 5 to Sunday April 10) at Kylie’s Beach.

Volunteers are welcome to join in any day and for as long as they wish.

“People need to bring their own tents and sleeping gear,” says Sue. “We have a fully equipped trailer with cooking facilities.

“To make it really successful we need a minimum of 30 volunteers.

“We get people that come back from as far away as Sydney and Newcastle every year.

Some have been coming for the last five years.

We have a great time and enjoy a campfire every night.

“People have the satisfaction that their day’s work is making a contribution and also they can see the results of their work.”

Saturday morning will start with a walk around the stunning Diamond Head, named

by Captain Cook as he sailed past, and a BBQ dinner will end the evening.

“Also we work in a couple of stunning locations up on the headlands where you’ve got beautiful views and it’s a beautiful place to work,” says Sue. “It’s also a very special campground. It’s just gorgeous and it’s tucked in just behind the beach. We’ve got lots of trees and bird life.”

To volunteer for Kylie’s Beach Camp, contact Sue on 6559 7134.

I’ve also travelled extensively and want to go through all the videos I took while travelling alone through Europe, China, Japan, Canada and America.”

Betty’s health took a bad turn a couple of years ago with a bad fall, which has severely affected her independence. A move from Bellevue Gardens to Mary

Knoll hostel and the loss of her licence has not stopped Betty asserting her independence.

“I’ve always felt hale and hearty, so signing up for a bus trip to attend the Archibald Prize exhibition in Taree recently with my friend from Bellevue Gardens was thwarted as I was the one that needed a carer to be with me.

OF THE

Brought to you by

I HAD the absolute pleasure last Friday to be the guest speaker at the Combined Probus meeting.

Thank you for the invitation to share my story; I still shake my head wondering why anyone would want to hear it but, nevertheless, it was a great couple of hours and I got to meet some really lovely people that I probably wouldn’t have met if I hadn’t gone.

So it was really lovely and I felt both honoured and a little overwhelmed at the same time.

For a couple of hours I felt like what we are doing here at Your Local Independent is worthwhile and respected in the community.

Even though we concentrate on producing a positive paper we do field a lot of negative flack; generally from those that have nothing better to do with their time, so, it felt really good to enjoy such a positive experience. Once again thank you!

There is always a flipside. They say ‘pride comes before a fall’. I wouldn’t say that I was being proud of my achievements; more like I felt proud that by following what I believe is my purpose I was doing something that was appreciated and of value to the community. Later that day though, while sharing my experience I was cut off at the knees (the fall) by a total joy germ who now has me self-doubting, feeling anxious and downright worthless. Thank you!

Taxi ride a tough step up for elderly I WISH to start this letter with a whole-hearted vote of thanks to the centre management of Settlement City for finally constructing an access layback in the curb at the taxi rank after many years of requests.

As a taxi-driver, I am fully aware of the mobility needs of the elderly, disabled and parents with prams, who need to use a taxi for their transport. Too often the person has trouble stepping down from the kerb

to climb inside the cab. This problem is pronounced at the Horton Street rank and it beggars belief that with the recent pavement works there, and in front of the Colonial Arcade, that a sensible layback wasn’t constructed where the first cab pulls up.

I campaigned when the new Coles was built, only to be told that the wheel-chair friendly ramp was ‘overlooked’ and it still has not been supplied by the developers to the site.

Ideally, there should be an access layback at the front and the back of the rank, so disabled passengers can be set down with ease of access before the cab moves to the top of the line to pick up the next passenger.

Council does know how to build these laybacks as there is one on the kerb for pedestrians to cross at the top of Horton Street, close to Dan Murphy’s. They just need to replicate these in all taxi ranks and bus ranks –

and while they are at it, provide some seating for the elderly to sit on while they are waiting.

If the Port Macquarie council is still hesitant to provide good mobility access, then they just need to have a chat with Kempsey council who have created front and back laybacks in both taxi ranks in the CBD in Kempsey.

More toilets please AFTER moving and building a home here in Port Macquarie I am impressed with the progress of the area with regards to parklands and play areas and boating facilities.

However I find there is a lack of toilet facilities especially near the Westport Park area children’s playground and boat launching area.

I know the council will state the ‘no funds’ line in regards to cleaning and servicing, but there is a solution from yester-year – a coin in a slot would pay for servicing and cleaning.

Most people I have spoken to would

support the idea, as twenty cents is just a small amount.

A great number of fishos, swimmers and walkers support the idea. Perhaps through your paper, the idea may catch on, perhaps the local MPs may see the merit of same for polling purposes.

After seeing Laurieton Park areas there are several toilets along the waterfront near the boat ramps as well.

I hope through your paper this idea might enlighten some thoughts on this matter.

DEAR oh dear, Sheila Wick, I was hoping for some well constructed comment about ‘S’ plates rather than a trivialised account of all sorts of plates.

I realise you were trying to be amusing but I would rather have seen a brutal attack on my letter that was well thought out and had valid points.

But just to trot out the ‘age discrimination’ thing didn’t really cut it.

16-20-year-olds are already ‘age

discriminated’ against, whether they are a great driver or not.

I’m not that young that I would be far off an ‘S’ plate myself and it matters to me not one wit if I had an ‘S’ plate.

Nothing ever gets 100% acceptance in life, there’s always alternative points of view and that’s fine.

I believe anything that helps other drivers on the road is worth looking at and seeing the big picture.

orders I get, the more land we need, the more “ The more plants and that makes more jobs for locals

“

Clive’s spicy success story

By SUE PATERICK

Clive West tending his prize chilli crop

TIRED of being an interstate truck driver, Clive West, wanted to spend his retirement in one place and to keep busy. What he didn’t expect was to be creating jobs for locals.

During his years on the road, Clive saw lots of Australia but chose to make his home on a 27-hectare dairy farm in the gently-rolling hills of Collombatti in the Macleay Valley.

“I just liked the area and the climate,” he said.

It took a year of clearing and fencing to bring the property up to scratch.

His first farming venture was cattle, until a neighbour suggested beans.

Clive grew beans for five years but when they didn’t do as well as he hoped, he turned to zucchinis and button squash.

It was a casual suggestion from a customer that opened up a whole bushel of opportunities.

Lime trees were the crop to grow because they fruited for half a year.

Taking this advice on-board, Clive went home and planted 110 lime trees.

When they thrived he planted 1000 chilli plants.

Both these crops grew so well, Clive decided to try and use them together.

He now has 1200 lime trees and 18,000 chilli plants, but wants to grow more. His company, Westview Limes & Produce, makes chilli and lime harissa, chilli and lime hot sauce, a zesty lime dressing and preserved lemons.

Artist impression

His harissa won a gold medal in Hobart’s Fine Food Festival. His hot sauce won a silver.

Port Macquarie manufacturing company, The Other Chef Fine Foods, makes all Clive’s sauces using his produce and recipes.

A Sydney customer has also ordered five tonne of chillies and limes, and a buyer is even coming from Hawaii.

To help keep up with demand, Clive urged his neighbours, Peter and Bernadette Kesby and Gay and Gary Buchannan, to grow chillies too.

Clive’s overjoyed to be able to give local growers an opportunity.

“The more orders I get, the more land we need, the more plants and that makes more jobs for locals,” Clive added.

If you’re an up and coming farmer, Clive’s advice is to pick the right crop for your area and plant what you want to eat.

Before you grow anything, though, get your suppliers first.

“You don’t need to spend lots of money or have lots of land,” he said.

“Just pick a crop that suits your lifestyle.

“Vegetables need to picked every day, while citrus can be picked just on weekends.”

His advice to backyard gardeners is to grow lime trees and chillies in a sunny spot and keep up the fertiliser. Both will grow in pots but limes like more water than chillies.

THE COWPER REPORT

Couple’s life is a treasure hunt

With Luke Hartsuyker

Federal Member for Cowper

By SUE PATERICK

Dallas Kemp admiring a hunk of malachite/azurite from South Australia and quartz from Glen Innis.

“

Collecting crystals is like collecting stamps, there are always some you haven’t got Another clue was to look for a shape like a point, or a rock with faceted sides.

“Some have four, some six or more,” Peg explained.

“When you dig a hole then see a point you know you’ve found a crystal,” Dallas added.

Dallas and Peg started out just wanting Australian crystals until they started to travel overseas and discovered all the wonderful crystals for sale in markets.

The adventurous couple have crystals from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Switzerland and England, plus from every state in Australia.

“Collecting crystals is like collecting stamps, there are always some you haven’t got,” said Dallas, with a grin.

“

A STRONG energy rolls off ancient mountains and tumbles down cow-dotted valleys into the sparkling creek that borders Dallas and Peg Kemp’s peaceful Macleay Valley property.

However, once at the homestead it’s their crystal collection that resonates as serenely as birdsong.

The property, where Dallas was born, has been in the Kemp family since 1839.

He was the fifth generation to live here until his son and grandson settled on their own patch of the family farm.

Sticking with family traditions, Peg’s son and family also live on the property.

Members of the Macleay Gem and Mineral Club, Dallas and Peg have been fossicking for crystals for over 20 years.

It all began when friends, who were members of the Gem Club, asked Dallas and Peg to accompany them to Inverell to find sapphires.

“I didn’t want to look for rocks, I wanted play cards by gas light,” Dallas recalled.

He wasn’t sure if it was the magic of the crystals that affected him or not, but he hasn’t stopped looking from them ever since.

An active person, Dallas also likes the physical part of fossicking.

While he admits it has become harder to find good crystals in Eastern Australia, they can still be uncovered in other states.

Dallas loves minerals too like malachite, which is oxidised copper, and has a particular fondness for fossils, which can still be found in the east.

Hoping to inspire a similar love of crystals, gem stones, minerals and fossils, Dallas and Peg give talks to primary school children.

“The children are very interested in fossils because they learn about dinosaurs, so it’s magic to see how they react,” he said.

According to Dallas, the best way to fossick is to find a big rock that hasn’t been turned over, then dig under it, roll it over and hope there’s something good underneath it.

Their fellow Gem Club members are keen travellers too, and the Club usually tries to go away once a month.

This month a trip is planned to Yarrahapinni, while in May it’s off to Ewingar at the head of the Clarence River on the lookout for smoky quartz.

The Macleay Gem and Mineral Club began in 1968 and currently has 20 to 30 members, but is always on the look out for more.

It meets on the second Tuesday of each month.

A major fundraiser for the Gem Club is its annual Rock Auction held on the second Saturday of February.

For more information call 6566 9027.

FOR months now I have been spending time in Port Macquarie with community and business groups and constituents in light of the electoral boundary changes to Cowper.

I’ve spent the past week meeting some of the most inspiring business minds involved in running dynamic companies in the Port Macquarie region.

Last week I met Bob and Link Bale and staff at Bale Defence Industries and toured their company workshops, which represents a great example of what can be achieved in regional centres.

Bale Defence Industries supports the Australian and New Zealand Defence Forces with the design and manufacture of military equipment. This Port Macquarie company has continually evolved and expanded since 1979, driven by demand for their design and manufacture of military equipment for the Australian and New Zealand Defence forces.

They supply defence bases throughout Australia and the Pacific Rim. What they manufacture, their business and training models and the way they have anticipated potential growth areas internationally and developed their business accordingly, is truly inspiring.

Bale Defence Industries is heavily into research and development, using high-end design, simulation and analysis software packages to develop incredibly high-tech solutions for some very exacting customers – namely the Australian Defence Force.

They’ve also been recognised at a national and state level for their employee training and development programs.

I also had the pleasure of touring Expressway Spares with owner Patrick Cassegrain where I met the staff, including apprentices.

Patrick Cassegrain’s father Gerard started the business 51 years ago, with four staff which has now swelled to 180 people in Wauchope, Hunter Valley, Mackay and Perth, including 110 in the Port-Hastings area. Patrick and his team deliver component rebuilds for heavy earthmoving equipment for major mining companies across Australia which do the grunt work in coal, iron ore and gold operations.

This is complemented by a healthy customer base hiring the company for general civil earthmoving jobs across Port, the Hunter Valley and beyond.

Expressway Spares is the perfect example of how supplier opportunities are arising out of the $7 billion Pacific Highway Upgrade. They are a first port of call for contractors needing mechanical repairs, maintenance or rebuilds on their earthmoving equipment.

Port has business confidence and entrepreneurial talent in spades, which is helping to drive the local economic and jobs growth.

‘Friends’ fear for ABC

7

CANBERRA CONNECTIONS With Dr David Gillespie Federal MP for Lyne

Drusi Megget

By CHRISTINA PARKIN THE ABC shop in Settlement City has closed its doors and Drusi Megget, President of the ABC Friends Mid North Coast, is wondering if this closure is the ‘thin edge of the wedge’ for the ABC. “It is sad that the ABC shop is closing due to the changing nature of retail and fortunately ABC products will be available through other retailers,” said Ms Megget.

“This is a separate issue from other threats to the ABC. The ABC Friends are increasingly concerned that the Federal government may try to undermine the ABC. “The Friends support the continuing existence, and the protection of the values of a robust, properly-funded and independent ABC. “Before the 2013 election, Tony Abbott promised not to cut ABC funding but then the Abbott government did cut funding. At the time Communications Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, talked a lot but did not act to defend the ABC, and so the cuts occurred.

“So now we are seeing that the cuts have resulted in more program repeats, cheap

A closed and empty ABC store in Port Macquarie’s Settlement City signals further cuts to the ABC, says Friends of the ABC Mid North Coast imports and – of serious concern – the growing Sydney-centralism of the ABC’s operations and decision-making for both television and radio,” remarked Ms Meggett.

ABC Friends do not agree with the recently advocated concept of two ABCs – regional and metropolitan - on the grounds that it would be unwieldy, costly and also require more investment in management.

Further, they do not agree with specific mandated targets and quotas because they feel that the ABC is already the expert body to fulfil, in the interests of all Australians, what is actually set down in the ABC’s Charter.

“Government interference is against the interest of Australians,” insisted Ms Meggett.

“We are also concerned that there may be more cuts in the ABC’s triennial funding in the May budget and ABC Friends calls on Prime Minister Turnbull to honour the promises made in October 2013 and restore ABC funding.

“There are a great number of people who are unhappy about this and many of them have joined the ABC Friends,” said Ms Meggett.

If you wish to voice your support for the continued independence of the ABC, contact Drusi Megget, President ABC Friends Mid North Coast on 6583 8798 or by email at fabc. midcoast@gmail.com. To find shops that stock ABC products, use the store locator website at https://shop.abc.net.au/store_locator

NATIONALS Leader and Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce has announced an agreement has been reached with the states and territories for sweeping reforms to country of origin food labelling which will give Australian consumers clearer and more meaningful information about the products they buy.

The agreement is certainly welcome and comes after decades of frustration on the part of consumers that country of origin information for food is misleading and confusing.

Barnaby Joyce is to be congratulated along with our state and territory colleagues for initiating and agreeing to these reforms that deliver a big win for consumers.

This is yet another great outcome for Australians from the $4 billion Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper, crafted and delivered by The Nationals.

The new food labelling system will give Australian consumers the clarity they deserve, without imposing an excessive burden on businesses.

Consumers deserve peace of mind about labels claiming that a product is ‘Made in’ or a ‘Product of’ Australia – and the new system will ensure that’s the case.

Many foods found on Australian retail shelves will be required to include a kangaroo in a triangle logo to indicate if the food is made, produced or grown in Australia.

The new system will also include a bar chart indicating the proportion of Australian ingredients.

This will make it much easier for consumers to choose which product they want to buy, armed with the knowledge of where it has been grown and packaged. The reforms will be introduced from July 1 with labels expected to appear in retail outlets later this year.

NICOLE LANGDON

How long have you lived in or around the Hastings?

I was born and raised here, then went to university and lived in Newcastle for 10 years before moving back to Port Macquarie about 15 years ago. We now live in Crosslands and couldn’t think of a better place to raise our family.

What do you love most about the Hastings?

It’s not until you live away, or travel, that you realise how lucky we are. We’re spoiled for choice with beaches, National Parks, cafes and entertainment, but it’s the people and our community spirit that gives the Hastings its heart.

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

I’m employed in the Hastings Co-op marketing department and work closely with all 13 businesses owned by the co-operative. My days are so varied and there’s lots of exciting projects in the pipeline in our 100th year. I love that we live and breathe the ‘locals supporting locals’ philosophy.

What do you like least about your work?

Not a thing.

How do you start your day?

A quiet coffee on the deck before I launch into the crazy working mum routine so many of us juggle.

What do you do in your spare time?

We love the beach, fishing, camping, 4WDing and finding a secluded swimming hole in the bush. The boys’ football also keeps us busy in winter.

What is the achievement you are most proud of?

Raising happy, healthy children – hands down.

IN my opinion, one of the most pleasing outcomes of the last three years of the current council term has been a renewed focus on the area’s strong and developing local economy through its support for new business investment.

Developers and others involved in the building industry often criticise council’s developer charges as being a disincentive to new investment.

If charges are considered too high, then people will invest elsewhere. On the other hand, developer charges are essential to cover the costs of public amenities and services that are required as a consequence of any new development.

So, rather than the $ amount of the charge, which is pretty well non-negotiable because the cost of infrastructure provision is what it is and council must always cover its costs, council does have some discretion over how it chooses to structure, or even defer, the repayments for these works. Some examples of council incentives currently in place include: The deferral of development contributions for up to 2 years from receipt of the subdivision or construction certificate. At last count (February, 2016) contribution payments for 92 lots were currently deferred across 7 different residential and rural residential subdivisions throughout PMH, totalling about $2.6m. In so doing, deferment has proven to be beneficial to the cash flow situations of investors, many of whom incur

INSIDE COUNCIL

DON’T read this during meals, or maybe even if you are left-handed.

The term ‘cack-handed’ was used recently to describe a friend of mine, who was left-handed and standing next to me. It might have gone unnoticed except that another friend with a loud voice wanted to know why a left-handed person was sometimes called ‘cack-handed’.

I say at the outset – I find nothing wrong with people who are left-handed, but history has not been kind to such people. Years ago – and I am sure it doesn’t happen now, at least not among my circle of friends – a cack-handed person had a peculiarity that set him or her apart from others.

My big dictionary describes a cack-handed person as ‘ham-handed, clumsy, awkward’. It also says such a person is left-handed.

But there’s another definition of cack-handed people, and I am trying not to be too offensive in this. A little bit offensive is probably satisfactory under the circumstances.

The word cack, according to my big dictionary, means ‘to void excrement’ and cacky means ‘to void as excrement’ or even ‘foul with excrement’. Michael Quinion agrees with this definition, adding that cack comes from the Latin cacare, meaning to defecate. He says left-handed people do everything backwards and the term is a ‘well-known British informal term’.

significant upfront costs There are also no Section 94, water and sewer contributions applied to developments for the purposes of a secondary dwelling or ‘granny flat’ with a floor area up to 60m2. This recognises some emerging trends in providing for affordable accommodation for extended families, a growing working-from-home/home office situations, and finally, the opportunity to generate additional forms of income.

Other trials currently in place at council include payment of contributions by instalment (typically 24 equal payments over 2 years for amounts up to $50,000); exemptions from head works charges for non-residential developments involving a change of use or extensions to existing premises and finally, reduced contribution rates for the provision of student accommodation with at least 20 beds.

These policies will be important to maintain efficient development across the Port Macquarie Hastings Local Government area.

THE sixth statewide boating safety campaign for 2015-16 will kick off with boaters reminded to brush up on their pre-voyage safety checks.

Roads and Maritime Services Maritime Director Angus Mitchell said: “Operation Boat Safe: What to know before you go would see Boating Safety Officers head out on the water with Boating Education Officers focusing on boat launching areas to check boater compliance with NSW boating safety rules between April 2 and 10.

“Targeted areas for the boating safety operation will include Port Macquarie, Camden Haven, Port Stephens, Myall River and Myall Lakes, Sydney Harbour including Middle Harbour and Parramatta River, Botany Bay, Georges River, Port Hacking, Tuross Lake, and Narooma.

“Boaters are reminded to check they have sufficient fuel and water ahead of a boating trip and to make sure the crew knows how to handle the boat according to the conditions.

“Skippers should be aware of weather forecasts and be familiar with the waterway and all emergency contact numbers.

“Before you head off on any voyage you must always at the very least tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. You can also register your trip with Marine Rescue NSW. “Check the weather before you go out.

Register for the maritime alert system which is based on official weather data at http:// www.rms.nsw.gov.au/maritime/usingwaterways/weather-tides/alerts.html.”

John Ayto says ‘cack’ means ‘defecate’ and he adds ‘the connection with cack-handed is usually explained as being that clumsy people make a mess’.

Ayto adds: “The traditional role of the left hand in many cultures is wiping the anus.”

The expression cack-handed is allegedly British, but it was also popular in early Australia, and has been used mostly to describe a person who can be described as clumsy.

Another word, meaning privy, entered our language via the old English ‘cachus’.

In the early days, and I suggest very early, the right hand was used for most uses and the left hand was used for cleaning oneself after defecating. These were in the days before toilet paper. Even today, in some cultures offering something with the left hand is considered rude.

Well, that’s understandable. You never know where the left hand has been.

You might remember Colleen McCullough’s ‘Thorn Birds’ contained the words ‘spent my life wiping snotty noses and cacky bums’.

But much earlier than this, let’s say 1859, if a man at hay time or harvest held his fork with his left hand lowest, some people would say he was no good ‘he’s keck-handed’. Yes, ‘keck’ was similar to ‘cack’. They were in the days before spelling was standardised.

The Urban Dictionary, describing ‘cackhanded’, says it comes from cultures that ‘use their right hand to eat and their left hand to wipe their behind’. The Merriam Webster dictionary people say synonyms for cack-handed include left-handed, along with awkward and graceless.

The Oxford people go a step further and talk about a great song ruined by cack-handed production.

My Macquarie says the third definition for left-handed people is ‘insincere or ambiguous’.

Readers Digest avoids controversy by saying that a ‘cackie-handed’ person is simply ‘lefthanded’. Incidentally, I believe about 10 per cent of the world’s people are left-handed, yet many tools and other implements are designed for right-handed people.

Let’s all be kind to left-handed people. I believe most of them use toilet paper these days. lauriebarber.com; lbword@midcoast.com.au

Business PROFILE A growing success story “

Through our mobile charity plan, you can transform the mobile phone you use everyday into a tool to create support for those in need all round the world, at no extra expense to you.

“

WHEN Michael and Suzie Richards-Brown opened Network Mobile Phones on September 1, 2001, next door to Ridgy Didge Pies in Clarence Street, they did so as the youngest owners in the history of the group.

At that time, the mobile phone had a no-colour screen, no camera and no internet capabilities - it simply made a phone call and sent a short text message, but who could forget the game ‘Snake’ on the good old Nokia 5110.

They traded at this location as owner/operators, steadily growing their regular customer base, until June 2005, when they moved to Settlement City trading as Network Communications.

Network Communications is a privately owned Australian company and has been Optus’ largest regional premium partner for over 20 years.

Through our mobile charity plan, you can transform the mobile phone you use everyday into a tool to create support for those in need all round the world, at no extra expense to you.

By December 2008, a camera on your phone was a luxury and internet was still pricey, but it bought with it the opportunity to open a second location at the new Kempsey Central shopping centre and the ability to employ more locals.

This brought great benefit to Optus customers in the Macleay area, with a local service now being available along with the strengthening of the Optus coverage.

In 2011, Network Communications’ 10th birthday was celebrated with unveiling a newlook store in Settlement City. The smart phone was well and truly a reality and the Apple/

Michael and Suzie Richards-Brown, of Network Communications, are a true, local business success story Samsung rivalry hadn’t found full throttle.

In 2013 the Kempsey store moved to its current location in Smith Street, now branded

as Optus but still Network Communications at heart.

April 2016 has bought with it the opportunity

to become Port Macquarie’s only retail outlet with the Settlement City store closing on March 31 and Network Communications becoming the new owners of Optus in Peachtree walk on Horton Street.

The team now brings customers 15 years’ experience and a whole lot of excitement. Ben, Stephanie and Justin have made the move and David, Anthony, Lisa and Emma (who have been the familiar faces at Horton Street) have decided to stay as well.

So if you have been a loyal customer of either store, you are sure to see a familiar face as you get to know the whole team.

Kempsey - Open for business

Familiar faces Stay warm Kempsey in new business THERE is a new financial service in the region, but the faces behind it are old friends.

Gary Scott and Mark Prosper have been in the money business in the Macleay Valley for decades, so becoming mortgage brokers with Regional Finance Solutions is a logical and exciting step.

“It’s all about locals helping locals,” Mark said.

Gary came back to Kempsey in 1989 to be near his family, after 16 years with the ANZ bank.

Apart from the climate, the area’s great beaches and its stable businesses, he loved the town’s country feel and its fair-dinkum people.

In 1991 Gary joined Coastline Credit Union before moving to the Holiday Coast Credit Union in 1996 until 2015.

Mark transferred to Kempsey with the Commonwealth Bank in 1986 and in 1994 he joined St George, where he stayed until 2014.

What he loves about the Macleay Valley are its genuine people, its climate, the beaches, the hinterland, plus the fact it is not far from anywhere.

“I’d been running around NSW in the finance industry for 40 years but Kempsey is the only place I’ve really called home,” he said.

“It’s just a great place to live.”

For both of these financial gurus, their new venture is all about personalising the lending process.

So they will do all the research on their customer’s behalf, accessing over 30 lenders including banks, credit unions and finance companies.

Products range from personal to home and

Mark Prosper and Gary Scott commercial loans, plus equipment finance including niches such as premium funding and accountant-fee funding.

Their aim is to provide a choice of lending scenarios where possible, so their customers can make informed decisions on which one best suits their needs.

A further benefit of being part of the Regional Finance network is access to a valued-knowledge base from other team lenders when looking for advice on difficult proposals.

Once a customer has decided on a lending institution, Mark and Gary do all the leg work.

They apply for the loan, supply all the supporting documents, get them signed and then lodged.

My House MY HOME Resurfacing can take away time and cost renovation has transformed “ourYour previously dark and dated ‘90s timber kitchen into a fresh and rejuvenated room we are very proud of

“

EVERY single day we use our bathrooms and kitchens, often many times a day.

So chances are that if your bathroom or kitchen is dated, worn or old fashioned, you would love a fresh modernised look that’s welcoming, at a price you can afford.

Cost is always a major factor when updating these rooms to your own personal taste and obviously you want to achieve the look you want without spending too much money.

An alternative to replacing these rooms which can take weeks of planning and scheduling various tradesman - is to ‘resurface’.

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, messy renovation.

K and D who recently had their kitchen resurfaced said of North Coast Resurfacing: “Your renovation has transformed our previously

dark and dated 90s timber kitchen into a fresh and rejuvenated room we are very proud of. Now it’s so easy to maintain and looks even better than what we envisaged.”

Resurfacing is a method of spraying a new surface in a bathroom or kitchen and is a great low cost way to make these rooms look like new again.

It transforms the appearance of old to new without any of the mess or disruption associated with replacement and almost any area in the bathroom and kitchen can be resurfaced including baths, basins, vanities, kitchen cupboards, benchtops, splash-backs and wall tiles.

Resurfacing might not suit all renovations, but it’s definitely worth some consideration, especially if there is time and money to be saved.

This photo by Thomas James Rodoni is of some of Australia’s first troops to be deployed overseas in World War I, who were sent to German New Guinea

A rare glimpse of war AN extremely rare collection of images from Australia’s ‘First Conflict’ is on show at the Glasshouse Regional Gallery leading up to Anzac Day. Never before seen images taken by a nonofficial photographer during World War One are now on display and will be commemorating 100 years of ANZAC during it’s ‘Australia’s Forgotten ANZACS’ exhibition.

The glass plate negatives, taken by Thomas James Rodoni, were uncovered from underneath a house in Speers Point, near Newcastle, by Rodoni’s son Bill.

The images were then given to the Cultural Collections at the University of Newcastle in 2014, one hundred years after the start of WWI.

The forgotten treasures documented the first military conflict of the First World War, the fall of German New Guinea, witnessing the first casualties of WWI. These rare images are on display during a touring exhibition from the University of Newcastle at the Glasshouse Regional Gallery, Clarence Street, Port Macquarie.

The University Gallery and Cultural Collections acknowledge the support of the late Bill Rodoni, his family, and Chris and Frances Fussel in putting these images forth for the world to view.

The exhibition continues until April 24.

The Australia’s Forgotten ANZACS exhibition is a free.

The Cat Empire heading this way

Top Aussie band Caligula’s Horse will be performing at The Pier at Port Macquarie on April 14. Sam Vallen is far right.

Port on Caligula’s tour

By LIZZIE McLEOD

AUSTRALIAN band ‘Caligula’s Horse’ is keeping the touring dream alive.

One of the most exciting and innovative bands in Australia, they have already hit the road on their ‘Turntail’ tour and will play Port Macquarie next Thursday (April 14).

“It’s a huge buzz touring. You get to play at places that are geographically distant but yet you’ve got fans there. When we first started touring it was the most exciting thing in the world,” said lead guitarist Sam Vallen.

“Touring is absolutely significant still today.”

All members of ‘Caligula’s Horse’ are enjoying touring the regional areas, and are looking forward to their Port Macquarie stopover.

“Port Macquarie is a place we have heard there’s always been a different sort of music scene and we thought we’d give it a try,” said Vallen.

“So I hope it goes well because we would love to make places like Port Macquarie and Newcastle a regular in touring. We hope to drive most of our tours to get to these places instead of flying. All those things are really important to us.

It’s an attempt at diversification for us.”

However, there is ‘no rest for the wicked’ while touring and it’s a great way for a band to earn their stripes and gain new fans, but it also takes its toll.

“You’ve got that honeymoon period where it’s just exciting taking part in that kind of action,” says Vallen. “The more you do it, it becomes a strain on yourself physically.

“We just came back from a month-long tour in Europe on a bus and it’s one of those things where it’s awesome because you’re living the dream and it’s exciting, but at the same time you’re not sleeping, not eating or taking care of yourself and that’s the side of touring that wears you down. It’s tough but it’s really rewarding.

“The engagement with fans never changes, that’s always the same. Playing in front of people from different places is always a high.”

The ‘Turntail’ tour started on March 12 and includes Gladstone, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Port Macquarie, Canberra, and Newcastle.

“I’m enjoying this tour because it’s our first headline tour since January of last year. We did a huge amount of support tours and we toured the country three or four times since then as well as

touring through Europe,” said Vallen.

“We get to see and reap the rewards of all the groundwork we did the previous year on all the support tours and all the big gigs and PR behind an album release. It’s the kind of thing that we get to enjoy the hard work we’ve done by playing to our crowd all over Australia, which is great.”

The band from Brisbane formed in 2011 and is known as one of Australia’s tightest and most exhilarating live acts.

The new album ‘Turntail’ is uplifting and passionate with a powerful political message.

“Personally I’m looking forward to playing a song called ‘Daughter of the Mountain’ off the new album the most. It’s sort of a longer song but it’s just from start to finish we get to jump around and get really chuggy so it’s fun,” says Vallen.

Local Port Macquarie band ‘Hunt For Home’ will be playing as a support act for ‘Caligula’s Horse’.

‘Caligula’s Horse’ will be playing on Thursday, April 14, at The Pier Port Macquarie.

Tickets can be purchased from the venue or online at http://www.oztix.com.au or http:// www.wildthingpresents.com

ONE of the world’s greatest party bands is coming to Port Macquarie.

The colourful and genre bending performers, ‘The Cat Empire’, are on their 2016 global tour to support the release of their new album ‘Rising With The Sun’.

“An explosive world, filled with fireworks, exotic flavours, and deep rhythm,” explains front man Felix Riebl of their new album.

The impossible to categorise band displays a chaotic and fiercely uplifting live show that brought in over half a million people to their performances in 2015.

The band’s songs encourage listeners to get up and dance, as well as giving them the feeling of being swept up in a big, colourful, cacophonous parade.

The song writing process is both spontaneous and unexpectedly filled with experiences, thoughts, and dreams.

Seeing the band perform live is a must and they are known to be unstoppable on the global stage.

“They are an impossible act to follow.

The reason they close most festival stages is because other bands are afraid to go on after them,” said the bands European agent.

The band members, who met before they were 18 through their mutual love of music have all held on to their Australian sense of humour and energy despite the extreme work ethic they all possess.

The ‘Rising With The Sun Tour’ is coming on Friday, May 13, from 6.30pm at the Laurieton United Services Club.

Tickets cost $55 pre-sale or $60 at the door. Tickets can also be purchased from http://tickets.oztix.com.au For more information visit www. laurietonclub.com.au

Greens slam proposed rail cuts This is just one example of the “Baird-Grant government’s neglect of rail services. Rail services gained hardly a mention in the recently released Draft North Coast Plan

“

GREENS candidate for Cowper, Ms Carol Vernon, has attacked the NSW Trainlink proposals to leave the rail stations at Macksville and Nambucca Heads unstaffed and reduce the staff allocations at Kempsey and Coffs Harbour.

“This is just one example of the Baird-Grant government’s neglect of rail services. Rail services gained hardly a mention in the recently released Draft North Coast Plan,” said Ms Vernon.

“The proposed ‘unattendance’ of local railway stations, Macksville and Nambucca Heads, amounts to a drastic cut in service for local regional transport services.

“And of course this is another cut in regional jobs for one of the poorest electorates in Australia.”

Concerns over the proposal have prompted fears about safety and a loss of face-to-face assistance. Many seniors require assistance with baggage and appreciate access to direct customer service.

The proposal by New South Wales Trainlink is said to be part of a review aiming to modernise services and make the rail network more sustainable.

“Many residents, including a high percentage of elderly, have difficulty with purchasing tickets

on-line because they lack computers or computer skills and they will no longer will they be able to purchase tickets at the threatened stations,” explained Ms Vernon.

“Indeed they will be like Bellingen, Valla and Urunga residents already forced to visit Coffs Harbour to purchase tickets.

“While the federal Turnbull-Joyce government is busy boasting of its support for road projects, why would we expect the state government to promote regional rail?

“While the state can afford massive expenditure on Sydney’s controversial WestConnex project, regions once again miss out.”

The Greens advocate for a Sydney to Brisbane ‘fast train’ service and upgraded freight services to remove some of the heavy freight on publicly funded roads.

“This is yet another example of the Liberal Party’s focus on the city and the National Party’s neglect of their regional constituents. This proposal has to be withdrawn,” implored Ms Vernon.

If you would like to hear more about the issue, Ms Vernon invites you to a ‘Conversation for Cowper’ meeting at the CWA Tearooms on Friday April 8 from 6-7pm.

footytips

Hoodoo halted a perfect round WELL, if you have jumped on board Your Local Independent’s tipping bandwagon you should be celebrating another very successful weekend.

Seven from eight, again! Even Craig Bellamy would probably crease a smile at that result. It was only the Monday night hoodoo (the same as the previous week) that caused us to not get the perfect round. If we had known at the time of tipping that both Austin and Sezer would be back for the Raiders than that probably would have swung things in their favour.

But spilt milk. Let’s move on. Round Six. Another tough one and another Thursday night start. Remember not to just look at the injury lists and a team’s ladder position. Try to put yourself in the players’ position.

For example, the Broncos, mentally are they looking for a weekend off. The Roosters, are they about to say ‘Enough!’ and have the mindset required to win a game.

It is the ‘toss of the coin’ games where the mental game is key. OK, so get out those crystal balls and let’s give this next round a crack.

Broncos v Dragons (Thurs April 7, 7.50pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane): You would think the ladder-leading Broncos are in for an easy night against St George, especially considering how woeful the Sydney team was against the Cowboys last weekend. But remember, a lot of history between these two sides. The Dragons always rise for this clash. That said, you really can’t tip away from Broncs.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Broncos Rabbitohs v Roosters (Fri April 8, 7.50pm, ANZ Stadium, Sydney): The Rabbits deserve to be favourites, but again these pair are traditional rivals and the Roosters are starting to find some combination. Injuries have put a dent in the Rabbitohs’ momentum and they are still to prove they are genuine top four material in 2016. The person who is key to this is GI. If he ignites then

put away the glasses.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Rabbitohs Eels v Raiders (Sat April 9, 3pm, Pirtek Stadium, Parramatta): Wow, tough one. The two big improvers of the season so far. Eels are at home and coming off a narrow loss to the Panthers. The Raiders had that big away win against the Bulldogs on Monday night. With their playmakers back, and plenty of improvement still possible, Canberra could get up here. Don’t be surprised if the Eels are a little flat after overachieving thus far.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Raiders Warriors v Sea Eagles (Sat, April 9, 5.30pm, Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland): Doesn’t get an easier. Plenty of reasons why either of these teams could win … or lose. Despite falling to Souths last weekend, the Sea Eagles showed they are getting back on track, while the Warriors had to work really hard to overcome an ordinary Newcastle side. Warriors are at home, but their

old enemy – inconsistency – is the problem.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Sea Eagles Panthers v Cowboys (Sat, April 9, 7.30pm, Pepper Stadium, Penrith): Again, should be a no-brainer. Cowboys! But the Panthers have been very good despite a two-three win-loss record to date. This is a Panthers home game and remember, they were at home when they handed the Broncos their only loss of the season. Also both the Cowboys’ losses this season have been away from home. Still lean towards the reigning premiers.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Cowboys Sharks v Titans (Sun April 10, 2pm, Southern Cross Stadium, Cronulla): Big test for two teams who are both on three wins. The Sharks were expected to do well this season, but the Titans! No-one (except YLI) gave them a chance. The Sharks are at home and will be lifted by that. The Titans did very well against the Broncos last weekend, but that game would

have also been a big emotional drain.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Sharks Knights v Tigers (Sun April 10, 4pm, Hunter Stadium, Newcastle): Tigers should win this. But if there is going to be an upset this weekend, this will be it. The Knights are at home and chasing their first win. They were solid against the Warriors and there is a lot of pride in this club. Let’s go for the underdog.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Knights Storm v Bulldogs (Mon April 11, 7pm, AAMI Pk, Melbourne): The Monday night hoodoo. The Bulldogs are coming off a loss, so will they be mentally tougher, looking for redemption, or plateauing after a good start?

Melbourne are tough anywhere, but especially at home. The Storm are equal ladder leaders and deserve to be favourites.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Storm

Locals vie for top lifesaver

By CHRISTINA PARKIN

TWO young surf lifesavers from Port Macquarie will be spending some of their next school holidays competing for the honour of being the NSW Young Surf Lifesaver of the Year.

Grace Kuhnell and Isaac Plunkett, both 14 years, have been selected to represent the Surf Life Saving Mid North Coast branch and will compete against two representatives from each of the other 10 branches at the Collaroy Centre from April 11-14.

“The selection process is not necessarily just about the applicants with the best sporting record,” explained Gary Hawkins, Director of Member Services for Surf Lifesaving Mid North Coast (SLSMNC).

“The person is selected holistically based on their contributions, attitudes and aptitudes toward the lifesaving movement.

“These are the kids who have the potential to be future leaders in their clubs.”

Grace Kuhnell has been a nipper with the Wauchope-Bonny Hills SLSC since she was seven years of age and enjoys the ocean swimming aspects the most.

Attending Mackillop College, Grace said of her future in lifesaving, “I know that if I travel Australia in the future, there are surf clubs everywhere so I can still participate in surf and community events.”

Isaac Plunkett is in Year 8 at St Joseph’s Regional College and has been with the Port Macquarie SLSC since he was ten years of age.

Isaac particularly enjoys the iron person events and aspires to becoming a patrol captain in the future.

“I was at a branch carnival and I hoped, one day, to be one of ‘the persons being recognised’,” he said.

Both Grace and Isaac had attended under-13 development camps last year where a former Young Lifesaver of the Year had attended and inspired and encouraged both to participate in

Newcastle Permanent manager, Bob Higham is pictured with Isaac Plunket, Grace Kuhnell, and Adam Power any extension opportunities that arose.

“It shows another side to being a lifesaver; to how participating and getting in there can take you places,” said Grace.

“It’s a big part of my life now and my younger brother is also involved.”

Bob Higham, Manager of the Port Macquarie Branch of the Newcastle Permanent Building Society, explained how Newcastle Permanent has been a sponsor for every SLSC branch from the Central Coast to the Queensland border for 30 years. The Port Macquarie branch has supported

the SLS Mid North Coast since Newcastle Permanent came to town.

“Supporting surf lifesaving is a perfect fit with how Newcastle Permanent supports families financially,” said Mr Higham.

“Surf lifesaving is also the perfect family activity on the coast, so assisting SLSMNC with their youth development programs with outfits and prizes is a great way to foster the future of surf lifesaving.”

“There are so many pathways of development for youth once they have completed their nippers

program,” explained Mr Hawkins.

Save Power.....Save Money

The Home Battery Revolution Is Here

Terry Rhook PV Sales and Installer & Tony Wilson Owner of Mid Coast Solar pictured with the Tesla Powerwall

Australian solar expert Solahart has joined forces with US energy storage pioneer Tesla Energy, and from early 2016 will be offering Australian households a one stop shop for all their renewable energy needs.

The collaboration will see Solahart, already one of Australia’s leading renewable energy solution Innovators, become a Tesla Energy Authorised Reseller. The revolutionary Tesla Powerwall will be added to Solahart’s already extensive renewable energy range, with installations expected to commence in March 2016.

The Solahart offer will be part of an integrated solution when paired with a new Solahart PV system. Householders will also have the option of installing a ‘battery ready’ system enabling a Tesla Powerwall to be fitted at a later date. In mid-2016 there are plans for an option to allow the Tesla Powerwall to be retrofitted to existing photovoltaic systems.

“This is a natural fit and makes perfect sense, for Solahart and Mid Coast Solar,” says Tony Wilson, director of Mid Coast Solar, which has been operating in Port Macquarie for over 30 years.

Solahart has been operating in the solar sector since 1953. It has manufactured over one-million solar hot water systems, which have been installed in 80 countries on every continent. Our solar offering also includes a wide range of premium Solahart solar power (PV) systems, now installed on thousands of Australian

roofs using only world-leading panels and inverters, thoroughly tested to ensure maximum efficiency and performance.

“We believe the introduction of the Tesla Powerwall battery in Australia will be a game changer, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this exciting new phase, says Tony.

“Product quality has always been a major point of difference for Solahart, and are very selective about whose products Solahart sell. Solahart’s Research and Development (R&D) team thoroughly tests everything – and the Powerwall is no exception. Solahart currently have the Tesla Powerwall in their test lab and have been conducting general battery storage testing for some time.

Mid Coast Solar’s sales staff and accredited installers are also well positioned to provide advice on the benefits of the Powerwall battery and the other renewable energy solutions.

“Tony and Terry expect Solahart prices for the Powerwall will be competitive with what is being offered by others in the market – and we can offer a holistic solution should that be required.”

Tony says, “The Tesla Powerwall battery will also fit strategically with Solahart’s future direction.

This exciting announcement is just the first of many that we’ll be making in the near future, as we develop a comprehensive range of integrated products that will assist consumers in dealing with the rapidly changing Australian energy landscape.”
