NBN Co admits trial has not started The NBN Co has admitted the ﬁbre-to-the-node trial on the Peninsula has not actually started, according to Senator Deborah O’Neill. NBN Co representatives had conceded to a Senate Estimates Committee on May 5 that “the Umina trial was running behind schedule, having not even commenced”, she said. Senator O’Neill said that all that had happened so far was that the Government had got NBN Co to attach a connection to an abandoned business premises, 100m from the node, and had called that the start of the trial. The NBN Co representatives at the Estimates Committee had also refused to guarantee to release the ﬁndings of the trial, she said. Senator O’Neill said a starting date for the trial had not been set and did not look imminent because “NBN Co have still not reached an agreement with Telstra on access to the copper network”. The NBN rollout to the Peninsula had been cancelled, but only part of the Peninsula had been earmarked for the trial. “Parts of the Peninsula have been cherry-picked for a trial, with no guarantee that it will cover the rest,” she said.

“The Liberal Government cancelled the ﬁbre-to-the-home rollout for the Peninsula, which would have been completed by the end of next year if they had maintained Labor’s rollout

schedule. “Now, parts of the Peninsula have been cherry-picked for a trial, with no guarantee that it will cover the rest of the premises, whereas every home would have

received a connection under Labor.” “In Opposition, Malcolm Turnbull said the renegotiation of the Deﬁnitive Agreements with Telstra would be quick.

“It is now eight months this week since the Abbott Government was elected and still no progress. “We still don’t know how much the old copper network would cost to fix, how much it would cost to maintain, or how long it will last. “Malcolm Turnbull gilded the lily when he told the Australian public earlier this year that negotiations were moving quickly. “Now that we know they are progressing so slowly that trials cannot even begin on the Coalition’s second rate copper based network. “It’s time the Coalition abandoned its hotch-potch, obsolete copper debacle and return to Labor’s fibre-to-thepremises NBN rollout for all of the Central Coast. “It is an obscene spectacle for taxpayers to watch the Coalition pay tens of billions of dollars for a century-old copper network, then billions more to maintain it, when comparable investment in fibreto-the-premises network is a far more cost-effective investment delivering considerably better services.

Peninsula ‘left behind’ with NBN Local residents believe that the Peninsula is being “left behind again” with the cancellation of the rollout of the National Broadband Network on the Peninsula, according to Senator Deborah O’Neill. Senator O’Neill said she had spent time doorknocking on the Peninsula, asking locals about the NBN rollout. “Speaking to residents here on the Peninsula, all I hear is them asking why does the Peninsula get left behind again?” She said the Abbott Government has cancelled NBN rollout plans for the Peninsula to be replaced

with a trial rollout of ﬁbre-to-thenode technology in Umina. “While people I’m talking to are saying they need better broadband in Umina, they don’t want the area to become a dumping ground for poorly thought-out policy. “They are afraid that once again the Peninsula will get a raw deal. “The Liberal Member for Robertson is in the media helping Erina Chamber of Commerce to get a full rollout to Erina, but letting the Peninsula fall behind again. “To me, that isn’t fair,” Senator O’Neill said.

oters in the Robertson electorate gathered outside the ofﬁce of local member Ms Lucy Wicks on Wednesday, May 7, to urge her to plead a special case to protect the ABC, joining thousands making simultaneous petition deliveries around the country.

Waving signs and chanting, a group of 35 residents hand delivered a 240,000 strong petition and a bunch of bananas to the ofﬁce of Ms Wicks on the day that Federal Cabinet met to ﬁnalise changes to the upcoming Budget. Jack Lloyd from Umina, who organised the Robertson petition delivery, said: “I got involved because I want to make sure my local member understands how important the ABC is to our region.” More than 1,400 residents of Robertson signed the petition with two public meetings held recently with a focus on the effects of budget cuts on ABC operations on the Central Coast and nationally. Mr Lloyd, however, said that within 24 hours of the petition delivery to over 60 Members of the House of Representatives across Australia, a media leak indicated that Federal Cabinet had decided to axe the ABC overseas service. “Closure of the ABC overseas service is a direct contravention of the ABC Charter because it stops

the ABC from broadcasting directly to Australian residents living overseas. “Furthermore, the impact of budget cuts makes it more likely that we will lose the local radio station, ABC 92.5. “So much for the promises of our Prime Minister, Tony Abbott and our local representative, Ms Lucy Wicks,” said Mr Lloyd. “Mr Abbott said prior to the Federal election that there would be ‘no cuts to the ABC’.” Mr Lloyd said Ms Wicks met for half an hour with leaders of the delivery protest

and said the government had no plans to privatise or alter the charters of the ABC or SBS. She said that she had personally met with ABC representatives to emphasise the importance of retaining the local ABC 92.5 station. She said she hoped that it could be relocated to another location when its lease in Erina Fair expires in July. She emphasised that the government had undertaken a review of the ABC because it wanted to be sure that efﬁcient use was being made of taxpayer funds.

However, she did not respond directly to the request that she plead a special case for the ABC with the Minister for Communications, the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull. Members of Friends of the ABC emphasised that because of the topography and the geography of the Central Coast, only two of ﬁve ABC radio services could be accessed by local resident and an upgrade was needed rather than cuts to service. Over 65 petition deliveries took place in regional towns and cities across every state and territory, including

in the electorates of key budget decision-makers, Communication Minister Turnbull, Treasurer Hockey and Prime Minister Abbott. GetUp’s national director Sam Mclean said: “This is the fastest growing petition we’ve ever had and it’s on the way to being our biggest, which underlines just how seriously Australians take this threat to their ABC.” “Now, with petition deliveries happening at Federal MPs’ ofﬁces right across the country, thousands of Australians are making it clear they love their

Local residents contend that commercial development that is ﬁve times larger than surrounding houses and much higher is incompatible with the quiet ambience of a rural cul-de-sac. They claim that extensive clearing for this large building and car park would detract from the scenic quality of the area and should not be given consent. “Even in six houses combined, local residents do not have parking for 100 vehicles, or have 400 to 500 friends over every Saturday, or have 17 toilets or a commercial kitchen,” said Wyong Shire Ratepayers and Residents Association president Mr Kevin Armstrong. “Both the elevation to Bellevue Rd and Kyte Place are around 50m with the roof of the church rising to over 9m, far larger than any local residence. “About 48 mature

Wicks defends NBN project

Council abolishes special rates levies Special rates levied on Ettalong, Umina and Woy Woy commercial areas will be abolished for the 201415, with the ordinary rate being increased to cover the cost. Gosford Council has resolved to incorporate all its “Financial Strategy special levies” into the Ordinary rate from the 201415 ﬁnancial year, following the repayment of the last instalment of the associated Financial Strategy loan on June 2014. Council’s director of environment and planning Ms Danielle Dickson, told council that the council had special permission to increase its income above the statutory minimum “for a suite of works valued at $70 million, collectively referred to as the Gosford City Financial Strategy”. The Minister for Local Government awarded the special variation in July 1997 to increase council’s general income by 15.8 per cent or approximately $4,472,779 above the statutory permitted increase of 3.1 per cent. “The variation was awarded on an ongoing basis,” Ms Dickson said. External loans totalling $59,750,015 were taken up for the purpose of carrying out the identiﬁed projects which included Umina SCC Site, various surf clubs, environmental projects and drainage projects and the Coastal Open Space System. The report went on to say that “for the purposes of transparency,

special levies were created in council’s rating structure to obtain the income for each of the projects, resulting in the special levies being displayed on the rate notice individually. “The projects identified in the Financial Strategy were funded from loans taken out over a 15 year period in conjunction with grants, sponsorship, donations, Section 94 contributions and other sources,” states the report. “The loans have been repaid by two instalments per annum, with the final payment of $930,864 to be made in June 2014. “This will result in the special levies that were created for each of the projects being completed from a funding perspective. “As the Minister approved the special variation as an ongoing increase in council’s income, the $4.785 million raised (in 2014/15) from the special levies can now be added to council’s General Fund. “This will be achieved by incorporating the income currently generated by the special levies into the Ordinary rate and distributed over each of the relevant rating categories; Residential, Business, Farmland. “A redistribution of the income raised by the special levies will have minimal impact on ratepayers and no impact on Council’s total permissible income. “The most affected by the redistribution of rate income will be the Business Category. Previously, only those businesses identified as requiring upgrades

within the Financial Strategy were subject to paying the town rates. “There were 948 business properties identified within the Erina, Terrigal, East Gosford, Ettalong, Umina, Woy Woy and Avoca Beach areas. “As this income will no longer be used for upgrades within the specific areas identified, the income raised from these levies totalling $139,113 will be apportioned based on land value over all properties categorised as Business within the Local Government Area, totalling 3401 assessments,” states the report.

She said: “Since September 2013 the Government has put the NBN project back on track. “By using a multi-technology mix, we will save taxpayers $32 billion, get the NBN ﬁnished four years sooner and enable nine out of 10 Australians in the ﬁxed-line footprint to get access to download speeds of 50 megabits per second or more by 2019. “Let’s focus on the positives and policy. “Suburbs and towns with the worst broadband service will get priority under NBN Co’s rollout strategy.

“Senator O’Neill is using initial trial results only from Umina, and even these have demonstrated that existing technologies have a vital role to play in delivering high speed broadband to the Peninsula. “Divisive scare tactics won’t work. “Under Labor, NBN Co was poorly led and managed. “The Budget provides $20.9 billion in equity funding to NBN Co over the period 2014-15 to 201718. “This amount is in addition to $5.2 billion in equity provided in previous ﬁnancial years from 2008-09 to 2012-13 and $3.4 billion expected to be provided in 2013-14.”

Prime Minister says we are ‘decent, aspirational’ Prime Minister Tony Abbott has described Peninsula residents as “decent, aspirational people”. He was answering Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks, who asked the first question in Parliament Question Time on Wednesday, May 15, following the handing-down of the Budget the previous night. Ms Wicks asked Prime Minister Mr Tony Abbott “why the measures in yesterday’s budget are necessary to ensure our future prosperity?” In Mr Abbott’s response, he acknowledged that Ms Wicks represents “decent, aspirational people who know what it is like to put aside money today for tomorrow”. “She represents decent, aspirational people who know what it is like to make sacrifices for their children and for their grandchildren’s future. “As the Member for Robertson knows and as I suspect most of her constituents would understand, this is a budget that is tough but fair. “It is a budget that asks for sacrifices from everyone to secure the long-term future of our country.” Transcript, 15 May 2014 Tim Sowden, Office of Lucy Wicks MP

Following the public exhibition of the draft Plan of Management for Crown Lands in Patonga in March last year, the Patonga Progress Association asked for changes to parking, trafﬁc and pedestrian safety measures. The Progress Association requested that council investigate alternative solutions to those proposed by the Plan of Management. Council’s city services staff met with representatives of the Patonga Progress Association onsite to review options to improve pedestrian safety and parking on Patonga Dr adjacent to the public wharf. As a result of this meeting, a sketch was prepared by council showing the proposed improvements.

According to the report to council by the Traffic Committee, the sketch was designed to increase available parking while reducing traffic speed and improving safety for pedestrians. “It is believed that the proposed alignment will restrict through traffic movement by reducing speed, while the 90 degree parking will remove the appearance of a wide open space,” states the report. “Two pedestrian crossing points are also included at either end of the parking area.” The draft sketch was sent to the Patonga Progress Association for comment. No comments have yet been received, however the sketch was accepted by the Patonga Progress Association representatives at the onsite meeting. “It should be noted that these improvements do not impact on the Crown Lands in the Plan of Management, however, concurrence from the Department of Lands will be sought prior to carrying out any improvement works,” states the report.

Roundabout for Woy Woy Rd A roundabout will be built at the intersection of Woy Woy Rd and Langford Dr in Kariong to improve pedestrian and driver safety. As part of its 2013 election commitments, the Federal Government provided $675,000 towards safety improvements at the intersection. Some sections of land will need to be acquired from ﬁve properties so that the road can be widened to effectively build the roundabout. According to the report to council by director city services Mr Rod Williams, it would be necessary to realign Dandaloo St to be directly opposite Langford Dr for the roundabout to function effectively and efﬁciently. The realignment impacts

the Kariong Progress Hall Playground site and may require removal or relocation of existing facilities, but would also facilitate the construction of a two lane roundabout in the future. Analysis of future traffic volumes at the intersection of Woy Woy Rd and Langford Dr has shown that the provision of a single lane roundabout would reduce traffic delays at the intersection with an acceptable level of service for the next 15 years. Future upgrade to a two lane roundabout would be required when traffic volumes saturate the intersection which is expected after 15 years of operation of the single lane roundabout.

Association raises $4000 Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association held its Trash ‘n’ Treasure sale on Easter Saturday, raising $4139.40 for the community. “Community members collected their own and others’ trash and transformed it all into treasure in sales on the day, with the excess being further distributed to charities, a roadside collection and disposal through the skip, courtesy of the mayor,” said association president Ms Peta Colebatch. “Volunteers set up the stalls on Thursday night and on Friday. “Some of us were lucky enough to have freshly-baked scones with jam and cream baked by our local councillor, Deanna Bocking. “On the Saturday, volunteers were kept fed and watered by organiser Fay Gunther, while the slightly smaller crowds assessed

Chamber calls for Ocean Beach foreshore masterplan Peninsula Chamber of Commerce president Mr Matthew Wales has called for a Foreshore Masterplan to be prepared for the beachfront between Ocean Beach and Umina Beach surf clubs, similar to the Ettalong Beach upgrade. “The current state of the foreshore outside and between the two surf clubs is pretty disgraceful,” said Mr Wales. “With arguably two of the best protected beaches on the NSW coast, the existing foreshore is in a poor condition, inaccessible in parts and substandard compared to other coastal locations on the Central Coast. “Council has spent millions upgrading the surf clubs but almost nothing on upgrading the beachfront which reﬂects badly on the area to both locals and visitors.

“The Chamber believes it is high time that a Foreshore Masterplan be developed for the beachfronts adjacent to both surf clubs and the link between the facilities so that locals and visitors can safely access the beach and walk between the clubs via a boardwalk. “The Masterplan should address improvements to public areas outside the clubs, public access, viewing platforms, linking walkways and coastal protection works. “We have a thriving town centre in Umina Beach, a world class tourist facility at the Ocean Beach NRMA Holiday Park, high quality surf clubs and yet the beachfront is sub-standard. “The Chamber will be canvassing Gosford Council for support in identifying funding for the Masterplan.” The Chamber has asked Gosford Council to establish

a working committee with representation from Ocean Beach Surf Club, the council and the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. “It is hoped that through the working committee, basic concepts can be prepared and funding applications completed so that the proposal can attract State and Federal funding to prepare the overall foreshore Masterplan. “The matter will also be raised with the Federal Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks who has been previously approached on the matter leading up to the Federal Election.” “Terrigal and Avoca have world class beachfronts, why shouldn’t Ocean Beach and Umina Beach? “It’s time to get moving with a plan to make this happen,” said Mr Wales.

Little things we do can be very significant Twenty years ago when I was the youth worker at the Web Youth Centre in Woy Woy, I encouraged two young people to express their drawing talents by doing some great drawings on the Gyprock wall at the Web. Kylie McCaffrey and Nick Karazinov, both 16 at that time, drew some amazing pictures of what they wanted to do. Both of them took a while to complete the drawing due to the size and intricacy of the art work involved. They both received praise and applauds from many in the community and wider for their work. I watched them grow with conﬁdence and they were very

Forum proud of their achievement. I was also a very proud youth worker for providing them the opportunity and space to do it. Time passed and the old community centre was demolished. I made sure I dismantled the wall trying not to damage the drawings before the building was pulled down. A few years passed and they were just sitting in the store room in the new building. Nick Karazinov called into the new Web to see me and was shocked to see I saved their hard work. He framed them for me with fence palings and they lived on the wall in the new Web until I left in

2006. It was only the other day when someone told me that Kylie’s brother Grant, who also attended the Web had spoken to the community centre and was able to get his sister’s pictures back. Once Kylie got to see them again she posted them on Facebook and the comments to her post were huge and also heart felt by me. It made me reﬂect and think about how sometimes the little things we do for young people can be very signiﬁcant in their lives, present but also in their future. Kylie is a young woman now and a mother. I worked really hard to make young people feel like they belonged to the community and seeing the reaction from people 20 years later is incredible. To know that these picture have had an impact on many who attended the Web are positive memories for them. For me this is very rewarding. Thankyou to the community centre which allowed these now young adults to have their art work back.

Public is sick of politicians’ weasel words It did not take long before this Federal Liberal Government resorted to the weasel words of the previous Federal Government. A temporary tax is still a tax. It is exactly this type of behaviour that cost them the previous election. The public are sick to death of this humbug. If these politicians were paid on a performance basis, they would all get a pittance which is what they are worth. They should be driving down commercial rents, so retailers can make a decent proﬁt and then more people can be employed. Also raise the threshold on internet purchases. It is rumoured the banks will soon charge a levy on anyone using their credit card to purchase online. When the ICAC ﬁnishes with the State Liberal politicians, they

Donation for hospital Everglades Country Club Men’s Bowls donated $600 to Woy Woy Hospital on Tuesday, April 28. The money will be used to purchase a Doppler pulse measurement machine. Nursing unit manager Ms Trish Hayes accepted the cheque on

behalf of the hospital and said the Doppler machine would be of great beneﬁt to not only the hospital’s patients but also the staff for its convenience factor. Everglades Country Club Men’s Bowls president Mr Ray Benton said he was proud of the bowling fraternity for enabling this current donation to be made which would

bring the total donations made to the hospital over the past ﬁve years to $2200. The money raised came from the sale of bowls attire and wrong bias contributions from members and visitors. Email, 6 May 2014 Ray Benton, Everglades Country Club Men’s Bowls

‘WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK’ Local Chiropractors are behind Spinal Health Week 2014 to promote the importance of living a healthy lifestyle so, read on re our ‘CHAT N’ CHECK’ sessions. The Live Better, We’ve Got Your Back campaign launches Spinal Health Week (19-25 May, 2014), a national campaign by the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (CAA), to draw attention to the size of the problem of back dysfunction and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle in Australia. Local chiropractors at Umina Chiropractic Centre have called upon Peninsula residents to take up the challenge of improving their lifestyle habits to better care for their spines. “Improving our postural ﬁtness, such as not sitting down for too long, sitting correctly, and using proper techniques when bending or lifting, can help to avoid damage to your spine,” Dr Natasha Allmark said. “Proper posture keeps everything in its natural position which reduces wear and tear of joints and relieves stress, improves health and enhances your appearance.” Putting up with back issues can lead to avoiding exercise and physical activity, and the effects can lead to mental health issues (including depression), and dissatisfaction in the workplace. “Low self-esteem can affect the way we feel about our bodies, including the way we carry ourselves,” Dr Michael

Grieve said. “Poor posture places strain on the spine, thereby leading to potential back damage and poor spinal health.” Ways to improve your posture include: • Initially have an assessment from your local Chiro and the younger the better; • Try standing and by example teach your children to stand and especially whilst at the computer; • During meetings, take regular stretch breaks, deep breathe and look up instead of down; • Check and adjust your position regularly. Use ‘cues’ such as signalling to assist each other re failing posture especially at work or in the home, e.g. a bent ﬁnger suggesting a slumped posture is all that may be required; and, • Take the stairs instead of the elevator where possible. To promote the message that a healthy spine leads to a healthier life, Umina Chiropractic Centre will be running ’Chat ’n’ Check’ sessions where you can come and chat to our chiropractors about how chiropractic can help you. This is a complimentary service to our community. “Spinal Health Week is a great reminder to make an appointment

with your local CAA chiropractor to assess your spinal health and discuss how a more active lifestyle will improve your overall wellbeing,” Dr Peter Grieve said. Chiropractors are ﬁve year university trained and can analyse posture and spinal problems. They can also provide expert care, lifestyle and exercise advice. Over two million Australians have back problems each year. The consequences of back pain are serious - it affects families, lifestyle and productivity.

Annual tea cosy expo

Streetcar opens at Peninsula Theatre

The Lions Club of Woy Woy Peninsula will hold its annual Tea Cosy Expo over the three days of the June long weekend at the Woy Woy CWA Hall from 10am each day.

Woy Woy Little Theatre production of Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize winning play A Streetcar Named Desire opened at the Peninsula Theatre in Woy Woy on Friday, May 9, to strong houses. The much coveted role of Stanley Kowalski is played by Central Coast newcomer Xavier Ryan. “Stanley Kowalski is a part I’ve longed to play for years,” said Xavier. “We moved to the Central Coast from Melbourne a year or so ago and have been busy establishing our business at Erina Fair. “When I heard Woy Woy Little Theatre had announced Streetcar as part of their 2014 season, the timing couldn’t have been better,” said Mr Ryan. “But Stanley is a very demanding guy – he’s a full time effort – you can’t lapse for one moment otherwise you lose the audience.” Xavier comes from Melbourne where he had involvement in more than 100 community theatre productions over the past 20 years. “One of the most satisfying achievements was winning a Victorian Drama League award for Best Actor in a Comedy when I played David Selznick in Moonlight and Magnolias two

A variety of tea cosy designs will be on exhibition and available for purchase while Devonshire tea will be served throughout the day. This will be the ﬁfth year the expo is being held with this year’s entries expected to surpass last year’s 112 entries. Entries will be accepted for the General and Special sections up until Monday, May 26. The theme this year is In My Garden. All proceeds will go to charities and worthy causes on the Peninsula.

years ago,” said Xavier. “What made it more satisfying was the fact my wife Terese was the director.” Stanley’s wife, Stella, is played by another Woy Woy Little Theatre newcomer Kellie Martin who’s been seen on stage with various Mad Cow Theatre, Laycock St Theatre and several

Uniting Theatre productions over the years. “I’m loving the involvement with Woy Woy Little Theatre. “It’s a close knit team, on stage and off, and everyone bends over backwards to help each other,” said Kellie. Sister Blanche is played by Christine Vale, recently elected president of the group with a 52 year link to the Peninsula. Others in the cast include Graham Vale, Keith Conway, Jessica Alex, Sierra Phillips,

Robert Cottam and 17-yearold Connor Sheridan from Kincumber, making his debut in a theatrical production. A Streetcar Named Desire was first staged in 1948 playing two years on Broadway and is constantly revived by professional companies. Remaining performance dates are May 23, 24, 25, 30 and June 1.

Organiser Ms Gail Langston said because the Umina Library was so small, she had to turn interested participants away due to a lack of room. “I thought if these women knew about the Gosford knitting group, they may wish to attend,” said Ms Langston. “Earlier this year I tried to run an afternoon knitting group at Woy Woy Library and only one or two people attended, so it was discontinued,” said Ms Langston.

Showcase concert at Pearl Beach The Pearl Beach Showcase Concert will be held over the weekend of May 31 and June 1 at the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall. Junior students from the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music will perform from 2pm on Saturday, May 31, with the Irvine Family Piano Scholarship and Pearl Beach Music Scholarship Concert to be performed on Sunday, June 1. Central Coast Conservatorium musical director Mr Patrick Brennan said: “The Pearl Beach Showcase Concert is a wonderful opportunity for junior students of the Central Coast Conservatorium to perform in a public arena to a receptive audience.” “So often young student musicians performing in a competitive environment don’t always achieve the musical result they desire. “This is because competition often exacerbates nerves before and during a performance. “What makes the Pearl Beach Junior Showcase so special is that it embraces the concept of pure performance rather than competitive performance and allows our younger musicians to perform with more focus, passion and conviction,” said Mr Brennan. The Irvine Family Piano Scholarship is dedicated to Alex and Helen Irvine who were among

Junior students at the 2013 Showcase Concert with guest performer, in the centre, senior student, ﬂutist Alyce Faith

the earliest Pearl Beach settlers. The 2014 piano scholarship recipient will perform at the concert. In addition, six young performers will compete for two music scholarships awarded by the Pearl Beach Progress Association. “The Central Coast Conservatorium is proud to send our very best students to compete in the Pearl Beach Senior Music and Irvine Piano Scholarships,” said Mr Brennan. “This prestigious event is an excellent opportunity for Conservatorium students to perform for their local community and deliver truly breathtaking performance. “The Central Coast Conservatorium is most grateful

for the generous ﬁnancial awards given by the Pearl Beach Progress Association and the Irvine Family. “Importantly this prize money will help the winners further their musical studies at the Conservatorium,” said Mr Brennan. Allyne Brislan once again returns as accompanist at both concerts. Adjudicator at the scholarship concert will be Phillip Shovk who is one of Australia’s foremost concert pianists, chamber musician, accompanist and teacher. Both concerts are free, although a donation would be appreciated. Media release, 15 May 2014 Lynne Lillico, Pearl Beach Progress Association

Ukelele workshop to be held in Woy Woy A ukulele workshop will be conducted by Azo Bell with the Troubadour Folk Club at the Woy Woy CWA Hall on Saturday, May 24, from 3pm to 5pm.

Attendees at the launch of Wreck of the Maitland

Librarian writes about Maitland wreck A new local history book, Wreck of the Maitland: A Scene to Make the Angels Weep, was launched at Kincumber Library on Tuesday, May 6. Written by Gosford Council’s local studies librarian Mr Geoffrey Potter and published by council, the book recounts the events of May 1898 when an ageing paddle steamer was caught in the worst storm in 20 years, and had its hull torn in two on the rocks at Cape Three Points near Killcare. Gosford mayor Cr Lawrie McKinna said that the book would

play an important role in the documentation of our local history. “The Maitland wreck happened right on our doorstep, yet we know so little about it. “Many of the descendants of those involved in the wreck have provided their family’s stories for the book, and we were fortunate to have some of them present at the launch. “The book sheds a new light on one of the worst shipping distasters ever recorded in local waters. “Mr Potter should be commended on his efforts to investigate such an important historical event,” said

mayor Cr McKinna. Mr Potter said that hundreds of hours of research had gone into the book, which was launched on the 116th anniversary of the wreck. “Much of the time was spent scouring original documents in archives and libraries to unravel the mysteries of the wreck. “The book contains many rare images and stories of the wreck and the Maitland’s service life. “While the book includes some familiar stories, such as Baby Hammond being sheltered for many hours by the crew onboard part of the wreck, it also features previously unknown tales about the bravery and courage shown by passengers. “There were many unsung heroes and this book tells their stories,” Mr Potter said. Wreck of the Maitland: A Scene to Make the Angels Weep is available for purchase for $35 at all Gosford Library branches.

Since the release of his albums with the Old Spice Boys playing jazz classics on the ukulele, Azo has often been asked to teach people how he does it. “In a workshop, I like to keep the focus on being musical, rather than just showing people how to play the ukulele,” said Bell. “In my opinion, musical thinking might as well develop from the beginning. “There’s no reason to wait until you can make chords or play scales before being musical - in fact it’s the opposite.

“In a community, and usually in a workshop group, there will be a range of skill levels. “Thinking that I’m a superhuman freak is unhelpful, but we can have fun with music and learn, or at least learn to respect, basic musical principals that apply to all music making. “If I’m successful, we’ll ﬁnd, use and understand processes that work for music making at all levels, in all styles, everywhere and always. “And we’re sure to learn a few good tunes on the ukulele in the process,” said Bell.

Rescue training With unsafe conditions for recreational boating on Monday, May 5, the volunteer boat crew at Marine Rescue Central Coast undertook training on the bar at Little Box Head. Boat training ofďŹ cer Ken Sharp said that, with gusty northwest winds and low temperatures, it was a good day for some of the volunteer boat crew to gain experience in rough conditions. He timed the exercise for early afternoon to coincide with a run-out tide, the worst time to cross an ocean bar. As rescue boat Central Coast 20 approached Lobster Beach, the crew was ďŹ&#x201A;agged down by another vessel and told that a tinny that had brought surfers from Pittwater to surf at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Boxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; had an engine failure and was in trouble. Box Head is off the tip of the Bouddi National Park and, when the conditions are right, it attracts surfers to the rare left point able to produce rides up to 1500m along a sandbank that forms at Umina and breaks towards the mouth of the bar at the entrance to Brisbane Water. The volunteer crew, Ken Sharp, Robert Smith, Bob Sullivan and Ian Radford soon located the 4.8 metre open runabout with two anxious men on board. The boat was taken in tow and once in calmer water the men requested a tow back to Sandy Beach in Pittwater.

As the tow progressed across Broken Bay the men were able to restart their engine and make their own way home. The men later called the Water Police to ask them to express their thanks to the Marine Rescue volunteers. Media release, 6 May 2014 Ron Cole, Marine Rescue Central Coast

Swimmers were from 19 to 92 years of age with many State and National records broken, including one by 90-year-old Val Lincoln from Gosford Seagulls Masters Swimming Club. Ms Dreyer said Ms Lincoln was her inspiration to keep swimming until the day she dies. “Val travelled to Rockhampton independently and is preparing to go to Montreal in Canada

for the World Masters Championships in August,” said Ms Dreyer. “She bought home a swag of six gold medals and one silver medal, in the 90-94 age group from the National Masters Swimming Championships.” Ms Dreyer said she only learned to swim properly as an adult in her late 40s. “I am not fast, but I am ﬁt and challenge myself to improve my times and try new things,” said Ms Dreyer. “Many masters swimmers have joined at 60 years or over; one member I know of was 80 and is still swimming in his 90s. “My moment of glory was when I won a bronze medal in the 2.5km Open Waters Swim at Yeppoon Bay in the

65-69 age group. “You are never too old or too young. “Masters swimming is open to anyone between 18 and 100 plus and its motto is ﬁtness, fun and friendship and I can personally vouch for that. “I have made many more friends over the week in Rockhampton and will join some of them in Montreal along with Val. “If you are interested in joining Masters Swimming you can come and swim with the Ettalong Pelicans at Woy Woy Peninsula Centre on Thursdays at 7pm. “Never say never, give it a go,” said Ms Dreyer.

Woy Woy kicked two early penalty goals to take a lead of 6-0, however, Warnervale quickly responded with two tries. This took them to the lead by 10-6 at the halftime break.

are most welcome, with a report time of 9am at the rock pool. The winter season concludes with Club Championships on the ﬁrst Sunday in September,” said Mr Tangye. All enquires can be made to Graham Tangye on 0417 655 182. Email, 15 May 2014 Graham Tangye, Umina Blue Swimmers

The only try for Woy Woy was scored by Tevita Tangimoa, and, even though Warnervale scored two tries to one, it was the home side who got the win. “Both sides could have won the game and it was only decided very late in the match,” said Mr Thomson. “Best for Woy Woy were hooker Nick Garnett and centre Junior Stowers. “Warnervale were best served by flanker Leo Soane and back Netane Tonga. “Both teams are just out of the top four and obviously matches in the coming weeks are so vital,” he said.

Four first-half goals to Umina Round ﬁve of the 2014 Central Coast Men’s Premier League played on Sunday, May 11, saw the Umina soccer team take on Kincumber at Fagan Park. Umina historians were delving through the club’s records for a precedent to striker Josh Schumann’s performance in scoring four goals in the ﬁrst half of a match. The Peninsula team looked

set for a huge win as Schumann’s strikes saw them cruise to a 4-0 lead within the ﬁrst 40 minutes. To their credit, and playing under new full-time coach Bret Lomax, the Kincumber Roos fought back with two late ﬁrst-half goals, one from Daniel Gosden, the other off a Umina defender, and then holding out for the entire second half.

Wheelchair Classic to be held at Everglades The Wheelchair Sport NSW Lawn Bowls Singles Classic will be held at Everglades Country Club in Woy Woy from May 19 to 21. The event will see 26 competitors from across the state challenging each other over three days for the coveted 2014 championship trophy. Borrowing from the momentum of NSW’s victory in the National State Championships, Fitzroy, in March, the Classic will act as a show piece for the good work being done by those involved within NSW disability bowls. Bowlers compete with a range of disabilities including quadriplegia, paraplegia, amputees and Cerebral Palsy many of whom also compete alongside able-bodied competitors throughout the year. “The event promises to be a great competition as well as offering the chance for friends, old and new, to catch up,” said Wheelchair Sports NSW sport development ofﬁcer Mr Mark Wilson. Featuring both a Women’s and Men’s draw, the Classic also provides a chance for the participants to put themselves in the mix for State selection and further honors. “With prize-money and state selection up for grabs, the

Last year's Men’s Singles Winner Eddie Gollan

competition has become both an important and widely enjoyed part of the WS NSW Lawn Bowls calendar,” said Mr Wilson. “Wheelchair Sports NSW has a longstanding relationship organising lawn bowls events, with the aim of increasing both entry and participation numbers. “In recent years, disability lawn

bowls has been recognised as an important part of Australia’s sporting repertoire, highlighted by its inclusion in the 2014 Commonwealth Games,” said Mr Wilson. Media release, 8 May 2014 Mark Wilson, Wheelchair Sports NSW
