Recognition for top referee
FROM Page 1
communities and celebrate Australia's diverse First Nations culture.
Gaskin's involvement in this highprofile event comes as a result of an invitation extended to him by Gavin Badger, a prominent figure in the NRL’s elite refereeing ranks.
Badger plays a crucial role in guiding and nurturing the next generation of referees through his role as the NSWRL Community Football Referees Development Officer.
Gaskin embarked on his refereeing journey just two years ago as a fifteen-yearold.
Despite initial hesitations Gaskin quickly earned a reputation for upholding the rules and ensuring a level playing field for all players.
“When I first started refereeing I was
pretty nervous," Gaskin told NOTA.
“But with the more games I refereed the more confident I became, especially having the support of older referees to help guide me.
“I learnt to ignore the pressures from the crowds and just focused on making fair decisions.
“I really enjoy refereeing the younger kids and it's great to be able to give them a game each week.
“If there are no referees, then there are no games for anyone.”
Gaskin told News Of The Area (NOTA) that he is “really keen” to referee at the Nations of Origin.
“The series will be a great experience,” he said.
Gaskin’s involvement in community initiatives and dedication to developing the knowledge of young players has made him a valuable asset to the local league community.
Honour for local bushcare group
THE 25th anniversary of the founding of Dunbogan Bushcare has earned the group recognition in NSW Parliament.
Member for Port Macquarie Leslie Williams took the opportunity in front of the Legislative Assembly on 20 June to praise the group for their “remarkable milestone”.
“Landcare volunteers who are celebrating a quarter of a centenary of service to our community,” Mrs Williams said.
“Every week for 25 years the Dunbogan Landcare volunteers have been out in force, tirelessly restoring native habit
and eradicating noxious weeds from the Dunbogan peninsula.
“Through the toil of their hands and sweat from their brow you will see acres of rainforest, native vegetation and wildlife thriving and regenerating through teamwork and a deep appreciation of environmental sustainability.”
Ms Williams said the group has played a pivotal role in “leaving a lasting legacy of biodiversity through habitat regeneration”.
Sue Baker OAM received particular recognition for her instrumental role since forming the local group in 1999.
“Sue and the team have planted more than 5000 seedlings to combat erosion at Googleys Lagoon, tackled the infestation of bitou bush along the Dunbogan Breakwall and cleared more than 90 tonnes of prickly pear,” Mrs Williams said.
Hastings Landcare’s Robyn Camozzato said the group was “honoured by the speech”.
“We commend all the dedicated and determined volunteers who have contributed to this highly successful habitat restoration project over its full 25 year life,” she said.

And according to the NSW Government, “hooning” is similar to street racing, which means penalties can range from fines and demerit points to loss of licence, vehicle impoundment and imprisonment.
“So why risk it?” is what some Laurieton residents are asking of the drivers who ripped up Bruce Porter Reserve last Saturday.
“Two or three weeks ago they did it at 11.30pm,” Julia Reynolds said.
“This time they did it in broad daylight… Saturday afternoon.
“When it gets wet, they
get off the road and onto the reserve and then they start turning circles.
“It really digs it up.”
Ms Reynolds thinks it’s the work of young men who are bored or don’t have the confidence to take their vehicles onto designated 4WD tracks.
A photo of three vehicles has been shared with Crime Stoppers, Port MacquarieHastings Council and Camden Haven News Of The Area.
They were allegedly seen doing doughnuts, 360s, drifting - or whatever the right word is to describe ripping up a saturated public reserve.
Smoke can be seen
coming from the wheels of one vehicle.
“The middle vehicle, a 4WD twin cab, had bogged and another one had gone on to push him off,” Julia said.
“And then the driver of a smaller SUV actually got his wheels stuck.”
The riverside park is popular with families and dog-walkers and is where the Laurieton markets are held once a month.
Markets coordinator Terence Mulligan said behaviour like this is an ongoing problem and “a nuisance”.
“It’s a couple of boys with their 4WDs who get a bit bored after a couple of drinks,” he said.
The height of the water
Water supply drop-in
By Sue STEPHENSON
DROP-IN sessions are being held Tuesday for those wanting to know more about one of the biggest projects on Port Macquarie-Hastings Council’s to-do list.
The $125 million Cowarra Water Supply Scheme is being delivered over ten years to provide safe and reliable drinking water to the Camden Haven, as well as Sancrox, Thrumster and Port Macquarie.
These communities have been identified as key areas for future growth.
The scheme has been declared State Significant Infrastructure and includes a new Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Cowarra State Forest, just south of the Cowarra Dam.
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is now open for feedback until July 30 and can be viewed on council’s website or on the NSW Government Planning Portal.
Those wanting to ask questions about the EIS however, will have to travel to Port Macquarie on 16 July, for one of two information sessions.
These will be held at council’s Burrawan Street offices between 3.30pm to 4pm and 6pm to 7.30pm.
Registration is not required.
In a statement, the Group Manager for Utilities Planning and Design Cameron Hawkins,

said the sessions will allow community members to meet council staff to hear “how the project will service the region’s future water and wastewater needs”.
In addition to the new water treatment plant, the Cowarra Water Supply Scheme will include a clear water reservoir (CWR) and northern-arm trunk main (NATM) to service the water reticulation systems of the Camden Haven and elsewhere.
Council says it is “proactively planning” to meet demand.

Banking on community, charm and a chat
By Sue STEPHENSON
ASK a business leader for the key to success and there’s a chance they’ll quote the ‘Three C’s’ - customers, competitors and company.
Unless they are one of the owners of the Camden Haven’s newest (and newly relaunched) businesses,
The Dunbogan Boat Shed, The Kendall Shop and Bowers on Lake.
News Of The Area asked what made them take the leap of faith in a cost-of-living
crisis and it was clear they had found another winning formula - community, charm and a good old fashioned chat.
Boat Shed Locals will know Kristy and Malcolm Bell from the ten years they spent running the North Haven Takeaway.
Now they’re the owners of the Dunbogan Boat Shed and custodians of its marina.
“We want to take it back to what it used to be like years ago, a community hub where people can meet on a
daily basis,” Kristy said.
Built in 1937 and a survivor of numerous floods, the boat shed comes with a unique set of operating conditions.
As much as visitors would like it to be a dine-in venue as well as a bait and tackle shop, it has no commercial kitchen and can only serve takeaway coffee and food.
But that’s enough for the locals.
“People just love sitting on the deck and catching up,” Kristy said.
“There’s a big school of bream underneath (no fishing allowed!) and lots of dolphins too.”
The shed has been used for a variety of purposes over recent years but Kristy and Malcolm are looking forward to returning it to its former glory.
“We just want to operate it like it should be.”
Local Shop
With its symmetrical timber frontage, big glass windows and old-style signage, The Kendall Shop is reminiscent of a time when the general store was the centerpiece of regional towns.
New owners, Bruce Godwin and partner Marianne, have stepped in to ensure they can be again.
They’ve taken over from Jackie and Courtney Scott, who converted the Comboyne Street business from a butcher’s shop to a convenience store.
Bruce said they are now keen to hear what the community would like them to provide.
“Such an endeavour can be a tricky and risky challenge in today’s business world, particularly if employing staff, and so our venture is based on four sound local and
community based principles,” he said.
“These are sustainability over profit, employing local staff, supporting other businesses, and most importantly, forming a partnership with the community.”
Bower on Lake Amy Vandenhurk was running a successful wedding event business on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and her partner Daniel Fox had been in the Navy for seventeen years, when they made the decision to jump ship and move to Laurieton.
“We fell in love with the area,” Amy said.
“This is such a beautiful
place and we wanted a change.”
The couple have family in the area but wanted to start a business that provided an eclectic mix of sustainable homewares, so people didn’t have to travel to Port Macquarie for “a treasure”.
“I believe if you go into something with the right intention and you offer some unique experience, it can work.”
Amy says the feedback has been terrific and she has loved hearing everyone’s “stories”.
“I wanted to have something where I could meet people in the community, and I wanted to have fun again.”

More bestiality, child abuse charges for 'Beast Boy'
By Alex MITCHELL, AAP
A MOORLAND man accused of sexually abusing animals including dogs, sheep, goats and chickens has been hit with more charges.
Already facing 20 bestiality charges for allegedly possessing hundreds of videos of the offensive material, police will add another 29 counts to the man who goes by the online pseudonym 'Beast Boy'.
The 38-year-old man was arrested and charged in April after police found he had a large online presence and was using encrypted messaging apps to share bestiality, with some of the content allegedly depicting sexual abuse of a dead kangaroo.
The additional charges include seven counts of
bestiality, five counts of possessing and sharing bestiality material, animal cruelty, child abuse material possession and fifteen counts of using a carriage service to share child abuse material.
When he was arrested in April, a Jack Russell terrier cross also was found at his Moorland property.
Police say the dog had been missing from the Grafton area for around five
years and has since been returned to its owner.
Speaking in May, NSW Detective Superintendent Jane Doherty said the 38-year-old's online presence showed even more
content than they were expecting.
"We have viewed in excess of 500 videos at this point and that is just on initial review," she said.
"What we have reviewed so far shows that it has been going on for a number of years - we don't have an exact date yet."
The extra charges were added after analysis of seized electronics and hard drives.
Police now say they've found thousands of videos and images of bestiality and child abuse material.
'Beast Boy' remains on remand.

Mates supporting mates
By Bill HARROW
MEN’S mental health remains a significant public health concern across the country, but groups like the Laurieton Men’s Shed are doing their bit to improve the situation.
Opened in 2015, with planning and construction dating back to 2011, the Laurieton Men's Shed is located on a magnificent 10,000 square metre block of land on Diamond Head Road.
The group’s activities include woodworking, metalworking, lapidary, lawn mower repairs, furniture restoration and writing groups, with a pottery
workshop currently in development.
All of these activities take place on-site in fully equipped workshops.
There is even a computer room where members can avail themselves of training on up-to-date technology.
A not-for-profit organisation, the local Men’s Shed is funded via volunteers and local, state and federal grants.
“Our 150 members are part of an organisation that works towards men’s fellowship, mateship and common interests,” said Treasurer Phillip King.
“Mental health is high on
our agenda, with a framework of making sure our mates are okay.”
Social activities are also a key part of the operation, with members accessing a fully operational wood fired pizza oven and a “smoko room”.
There are even three bee hives on site where members gather and extract honey for sale or use in their kitchen.
A mini museum hosts a vast collection of woodworking tools dating back to the 1800s, painstakingly catalogued by members with dates and provenance.
Some of these tools were used in local shipbuilding operations dating back some

130 years.
Mr King said given the diverse range of activities undertaken on site, safety is key.
“Safety is paramount in our day to day running with all our members inducted into our safety policies and procedures,” he said.
The group also strives to be environmentally conscious.
“We are also proud of our environmental commitments with a $10,000 grant received in July 2023 under the Federal Government.
“This allowed us to extend our solar array, making us
close to self-sufficient in energy needs.”
The finely tuned skills of group members also allows the Men’s Shed to offer support to other community groups.
“We recently built nineteen equipment cages for Bonny Hills Rural Fire Service,” advised Acting Vice President Terry Rooke.
To support the work of the Men’s Shed, a huge onsite garage sale will be held on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 July.
A large selection of plants and other sundry items will be offered for sale.

Hazard zones near you
AN interactive map of the Camden Haven’s bushfire hazard zones is now available to view.
It has been developed by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (PMHC) to help the community better understand bushfire-risk locations and the council’s role in managing them.
The data is drawn from desktop analysis and on ground surveys processed through PMHC’s Bushfire Mitigation Management Tool.
The map also shows the naming conventions for the 126 Asset Protection Zones (APZ) throughout the local government area.
An APZ is an area of cleared or managed land between a dwelling and a bushfire hazard.
Keeping these areas clear provides ease-of-access for firefighters, emergency crews and maintenance personnel.
In a statement, Port MacquarieHastings Mayor Peta Pinson said
combining this information into an easy-to-read, online interactive bushfire map will ensure greater transparency, build trust in PMHC determinations, and educate the community about bushfire mitigation.
“This is particularly important given the impacts of recent bushfires, none more devastating than the 2019 Black Summer Bushfires, which severely impacted our community,” Cr Pinson said.
The resource can be found at pmhc. nsw.gov.au/Residents/Communitysupport/Bushfire or by searching “bushfire” on the council's website.
It is designed to be read in conjunction with advice on what people can do to reduce the bushfire risk in their neighbourhood and how to prepare for a high risk period.
“By showcasing the data [we have] collected and interpreting this on our online map, it provides our community with a transparent overview of our bushfire liability and [the] APZ’s requiring ongoing maintenance,” Cr Pinson said.
The map was made possible
through a $635,000 grant from the Australian Government, with a co-contribution of $65,000 from PMHC.
Federal Minister for
Emergency Management Murray Watt congratulated council’s work in developing the map and said mitigating against the risk of disasters is everyone’s
responsibility.
“Locals armed with the right information can take steps to safeguard their homes and their neighbourhoods against bushfires.”
Parliamentary praise for Barlow
ON Tuesday 4 June a
“staunch community advocate” was recognised in NSW Parliament for his enduring efforts for the village of Bonny Hills.
As previously reported in News Of The Area, longstanding President of the Bonny Hills Progress Association, Roger Barlow, stepped down in May from the top leadership role at the community group after fifteen years.
community contribution before her parliamentary colleagues.
Last week Member for Port Macquarie Leslie Williams celebrated Roger’s
“Roger and Pam Barlow are well known in the Bonny Hills community for their strong representation and determined efforts,” Mrs Williams said in parliament.
“As President he has played an important role in the delivery of upgrades to the Bonny Hills Community Hall, construction of the multipurpose netball courts, installation of exercise equipment at Rainbow Beach, murals and picnic tables, conservation projects and improved footpaths as well as the establishment of the annual Bonny Hills Art Prize.
“Mobile blackspots and Houston Mitchell Drive intersection upgrades
have been the focus of the organisation with Roger at the helm and his active role in developing the Bonny Hills Reserves Master Plan has not gone unnoticed.” Roger now serves as the Progress Association’s Vice President, with Paul Poleweski taking over as President.

Action team driving local change
By Sue STEPHENSON
PROGRESS on extending the ocean outfall in Kattang Nature Reserve is one of the recent achievements of the Camden Haven Community-Council Action Team (CCAT).
Operating since 2019, the team is the driving force behind the Community Plan that sets out council’s goals and priorities for the area over the next five to six years.
“The Council’s decision to establish CCATs gave us the opportunity to have a voice in decision-making,” member Penny Small said.
“Now we have lines in the Operational Plan that reflect the priorities that this CCAT has developed through community consultation.”
Blair Maxwell said the group continues to advocate for the community to ensure these priorities are met.
“It (the group) is a vital conduit of information between the community and council,” he said.
Speaking to News Of The Area at the site of the ocean outfall, which is at the rocky cliff line above the northern end of Dunbogan Beach, the group pointed out how the extension was needed to prevent scum on the beach and to stop nutrients washing around the corner and damaging the rock shelf.
Council has now told them the line to the outfall will be replaced and the pipes will be
extended further out to sea.
The group is now keen to “get some traction” on the Creek to Creek pathway, which is already built but needs to be repaired and connected up to the rest of the walking network.
Long-serving community volunteer Peter Nash said some repairs were undertaken in October but there are still a few gaps that restrict mobility access.
“We’d like to see it go from the dog offthe-leash area, in behind the industrial area, out to Stingray Creek Bridge and join up with the Beach to Beach and School to School pathways,” he said.
“But there’s a little section missing.”
The outfall and pathways are not the only improvements on the CCAT’s hit-list.
It’s full list of priorities include, in no particular order:
• The Beach To Beach pathway
• The Creek To Creek pathway and Queens Lake Master Plan
• Vince Inmon Stadium
• Laurieton sewage outfall extension and repair
• Camden Head RE1 masterplan and lookout
• Laurieton Amphitheatre
• Upgrades to the Laurieton War Memorial Pool
• Laurieton Town Centre Master Plan
• Repairs/renewal on Dunbogan River Baths
• Dinghy launching facility at Dunbogan
• School to School Pathway and overall pedestrian connectivity
The Community Plan can be accessed on the Council's website, while the CCAT team say

they are always keen to hear from members of the community.
“We all come from different walks of life in the community and we all represent a different person,” Mr Maxwell said.
“Whether it’s the Chamber, family, environment or pathways, we have a really good cross-section.”
Students support Winter Appeal
LEADING social justice initiatives is a passion of year 6 students at St Joseph’s Laurieton.
As part of the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal, year 6 ‘Mission Leaders’ Tanvika, Gypsy, Alyssa and Jaidah planned a pyjama day for the school.
Students wore their favourite ‘oodies’, dressing gowns and PJs and brought something to donate to Laurieton Vinnies.
“This year the local
chapter asked for warm socks, blankets and food,” said Assistant Principal Maria Wilson.
The need in the community is great, with current cost-of-living pressures meaning many are making the difficult choice between heating or food.
Local St Vincent de Paul volunteers will ensure the donated items get to those in need.

Blokes Notes at World Choir Games
THE men of the Hastings and Camden Haven choir
‘Blokes Notes’ are currently competing in the World Choir Games (WCG) in Auckland.
Led by Bonny Hills musical director Leanne Johnson, the eighteen members of the self-funded group are among 256 choirs representing 41 countries.
Normally held in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the biggest choral competition and festival in the world.
Blokes Notes are competing in the Over 55 single gender acapella category at the Auckland
Town Hall, which has some of the finest acoustics in the world.
The ‘Blokes’ also participated in the opening ceremony at Spark Arena on Wednesday and in one of the WCG’s Friendship Concerts.
After the games, they will travel to Hamilton to sing with ‘Male Voices Waikato’.
Warren Frumar, the founding president of Blokes Notes, praised Ms Johnson for her work preparing for the games.
“Leanne, as Music Director, has put in a huge effort preparing the Blokes
and satisfying the very strict conditions… of this world event,” he said.
“We honour her for the dedication and professionalism she brings to this role.”
Blokes Notes are known for their quirky, light-hearted and entertaining repertoire.
Now in their 16th year, the choir attracted a full house at the Kendall Music Exchange last weekend, for their pre-competition performance.
Coordinator Sue Lee said they were “ever-popular”.
“I especially love how
they have evolved and their dazzlingly new look,” she said.
Local bands on show
THE Bonny Hills Progress Association (BHPA), with support from Port Macquarie Hastings Council and Bonny View Store, have announced a new free live music event – Bands@ Bonnys.
Kilipati, Mediocre Sunrise, Korderoy, and Aunty Alan and the Uncools will perform on Saturday 20
July from 11am at the Bonny Hills Community Hall, which can accommodate up to 165 people.
BHPA president Paul Poleweski said this event has been organised following the positive response to last year’s Bands on the Deck held at the Rainbow Beach Reserve.
“Special thanks needs
to go to Aaron Johnson and Jock Garven for their guidance and support in making this event a reality,” Paul said.
“Public transport is recommended with limited parking available.
“Tickets for this free event are required and available on Eventbrite.”

When their relationship breaksdown, a dispute arises in relation to the division of their assets. The asset pool is assessed at $2 million.
Harry seeks an overall division of their assets of 70/30 in his favour, stating that he made more significant contributions and that he has greater future needs.
Wendy seeks a division of 55/45 in her favour, stating that during the course of their lengthy marriage, contributions should be assessed as equal and that she is entitled to a further adjustment in her favour due to her future needs.
The Court states that it is required to holistically assess the nature and the quality of the totality of the parties’ contributions throughout the entirety of their relationship.
The Court specifically considers an inheritance received by Harry early in the relationship and the fact that Wendy’s child to a previous relationship lived with them for many years.
The Court rules that both parties worked hard throughout the relationship and supported their children and despite Wendy’s claim that Harry did not work for periods for “no good reason”, assesses the parties’ contributions as a whole as being 50/50.
In terms of future needs, the Court accepts that Harry has long term health issues and notes that Wendy has a lower income earning capacity.
Harry claims that Wendy will receive an estimated inheritance of $500,000 when her elderly mother passes-away and that this should be taken into consideration.
However, the Court states that in the absence of evidence regarding the likely value of the inheritance and the lack of evidence regarding the mother’s prognosis in terms of length of life, only “limited weight” can be given to the prospect that Wendy will receive some form of inheritance in the future and rules an ultimate division of the total existing asset pool of 51/49 in Harry’s favour.

Time to reel in some fun
By Kate SHELTON
THE weather has cleared and just in time for the July school holidays, and the Mid North Coast is primed for an epic fishing adventure.
The Hastings River is bursting with luderick, with some anglers reeling in whoppers exceeding a kilo last weekend. The break walls and coal wall are prime locations to try your luck.
For the mulloway enthusiasts, some solid fish remain on offer, with the odd model well over twenty kilos hanging around the breakwalls.
On the flathead front, results have picked up, with some terrific action in the river. All sorts of hard bodied lures have proven particularly successful offerings.
For those looking at the beaches, cast your line at Oxley Beach or Lighthouse Beach this week for a chance to snag some delicious bream and tailor.
Pipis are a reliable bait option, but feel free to experiment with lures.
Rock fishing anglers are also having success with drummer and tailor, particularly around the popular local ledges.
Offshore, some great sized kingfish have been taken on the deeper reefs with live bait achieving the better results.
A few mulloway and pearl perch have also been caught from that general vicinity.
Closer in, our winter snapper season is in full swing, with some terrific reds taken on both plastics and baits.
Wider out, I am hearing of the start of leather jackets for the winter season, for your targeting or avoidance depending upon your perspective.
Heading further south to the Camden Haven for some consistent tailor action the beaches around Lake Cathie and Dunbogan are particularly productive, especially during evening sessions.
For fishing off the rocks with the water temperature quite cool I’d try to fish the southern rock ledges around Perpendicular Point, Camden Haven and Diamond Head for a drummer, tailor and school mulloway.
Venture offshore and experience an impressive snapper fishing season.
Soft plastics are proving irresistible to trophy fish, while bait anglers are also hauling in plenty of plate-sized snapper. Kingfish, pearl perch, and a variety of mixed reef species are also likely to join the party in your esky.
Just be mindful of leatherjackets, which have been reported in shallow waters as close as fifty metres from shore.
So, pack your rods, reels, bait, and get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure with the kids these school holidays.

DEAR Jasminda,
A FRIEND recently asked me to vote for her son's artwork to help him win a competition.
When I looked at the entries, I actually thought another artwork was far superior, so I voted for it instead. Should I come clean?
Mandy B.
Dear Mandy,
A popular vote and a deserving candidate are often poles apart.
The artistic merit (or inferiority) of Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles, for example, created an uproar, exemplifying the idea that one person's abstract impressionism is another person's 'bacchanalian rampage' as it was described at the time.
Mandy, may I suggest that you look up the word bacchanalian. It may come in handy.
Now, to your dilemma.
I can almost guarantee you weren't the only person your friend contacted.
She probably hedged her bets on friends and family, hoping for safety in numbers.
It's a solid ploy, unless they've all had the same artistic epiphany. You could fess up and lose a friend.
Frankly, it's not worth it.
Silently stand by your decision. Maybe even go to the presentation.
And when the child with true artistic merit wins, as they should, refrain from looking smug and muttering, 'I knew it. Look at the textural intricacies, the considered balance of light and shade, the vibrant colours. It's far superior to that other one. A bacchanalian rampage if ever I saw one.'
Carpe
diem, Jasminda.

Heart Of The Haven: Michelle Butt
MEET Michelle Butt, this week’s Heart of the Haven.
After holidaying with her grandparents during her childhood at Crescent Head, Michelle, her husband Paul and two children moved to the region in 2000, settling in Lake Cathie in 2003.
A journey that began with a goal to provide her daughter confidence in the ocean soon became a way of life, with Michelle completing her Bronze Medallion in 2011.
“I found it really challenging but it was great to train in the pool and beach to achieve this,” said Michelle.
The whole family eventually gained their Bronze Medallions, became active members with the Wauchope-Bonny Hills Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC), and began to patrol the beach regularly.
“I really enjoy being an active surf club member and love getting involved in different areas of WauchopeBonny Hills SLSC,” said Michelle.
From there, Michelle has filled pretty much every role at the club, including active patrolling member, patrol captain, nippers, water safety, bar staff, executive committee member and fundraising.
“I really enjoy patrolling
the most,” she said.
“It’s very social and a great place to be and it is fantastic to help when needed.”
In fact, Michelle has just received an award for being the female with the highest patrol hours on the Mid North Coast for the 2023/24 season, clocking up over 110 hours.
In the winter season, you will find Michelle collecting rubbish around Bonny Hills and Lake Cathie, including
Houston Mitchell Drive.
The rubbish collection began in 2019 as a way to support the community and keep fit at the same time.
“I would fill four old chicken feed bags every Saturday morning,” she said.
“It was amazing how many beer bottles were along the side of the road.
“It felt good to chip away and drive to work the following week and admire
the latest clean section.
“I cleaned the length of Houston Mitchell Drive twice on both sides,” said Michelle.
If Michelle had one wish for the Camden Haven community, what would it be?
“It would be great to see
A legacy of local history
By Luke HADFIELD
THE Camden Haven Historical Society (CHHS) stands as a beacon of community heritage, preserving artefacts and stories from a bygone era.
This unique institution offers visitors a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing a rich assortment of pictures and items which reflect life in Camden Haven over the generations.
The CHHS is dedicated to gathering, informing, and preserving local history, while also acknowledging the broader historical context.
“Our aim is to gather, inform and be a place for information and artefacts,” Society President Barbara told News Of The Area.
The society is housed in a building with its own historical significance.
The current structure, the third incarnation of the Laurieton School of Arts, was built in 1911.
The original School of Arts dates back to 1898 and operated at a different location until 1910.
Over the years, this building has withstood various elements, earning its status as a Heritage Listed property.
One of the most colourful stories from the CHHS archives is the tale of Bob Hope's Catalina Flying Boat.
When it famously crashlanded on the Camden Haven River, Hope and his troupe entertained the townspeople of Laurieton with a spontaneous show.
That memorable night, the locals introduced Hope to the Hokey Pokey, leaving an indelible mark on the
community's history.
The museum operates thanks to the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
The current committee, led by President Barbara, Treasurer Elaine, and Vice President Beverley, welcomes new members who are passionate about local history or eager to engage in community service.
With approximately fourteen active volunteers and a broader support group of 30-35 members, the society thrives on communal effort.
Despite its success, the CHHS faces challenges common to many local museums, including funding difficulties and an ageing volunteer base.
The current location is also becoming too small to
Stargazing: The man who owns the Moon
By Dave RENEKE, Astronomer
IN 1969 we landed on the Moon.
The astronauts proudly stuck an American flag into the ground.
Were they staking a claim to the dusty rock?
No, and it wouldn’t have been possible anyway.
Just two years earlier, a United Nations treaty had been created to prohibit any nation owning the moon.
This treaty declared that the moon and other ‘celestial bodies’ were non-negotiable, not to be bought and resold for monetary gain.
So pretty much all countries have agreed to hold
off on claiming the moon. But what about private citizens?
The treaty mentioned governments and their agencies but it left a gaping loophole, it neglected to mention private individuals!
Well, seeing an opportunity, one man had a crack at it and was successful!
Dennis Hope, an American entrepreneur, says he has owned the moon since 1980.
He was broke and going through a divorce when the idea of owning property came to him.
“Why not the Moon?” he thought, “nobody owns it yet.”
With nothing to lose he filed a claim with the United Nations for ownership of the Moon.
They never responded, and since Hope has never been challenged, he maintains that the moon is his to sell.
Before you laugh, consider that Hope has been in space real estate full time since 1995 and has sold over 600 million acres of lunar real estate.
On Hope’s website, Lunar Embassy, you’ll find that an acre of planetary land goes for as low as $29.95.
He’s now made around $11 million and has sold plots to movie stars, pop stars, politicians and ordinary folk from all walks of life.
What a perfect gift for the ‘man who has everything’.
While that may not matter much now, things
accommodate the society's growing collection and activities.
However, with the support of the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal (FRRR), which has provided updated lighting to the building and display cases, the society continues to flourish.
With over 200 members having contributed to its mission since its inception in 1987, the CHHS has a vibrant legacy.
As it outgrows its current space, a long-term goal is to find a larger location of significant local importance to continue its work.
“Our local history is important, as well as history in general,” Barbara emphasised.
The society's new website offers interested individuals the opportunity to join this
could change soon.
Space tourism is on our doorstep, a Moon base is planned and already entrepreneurs are lining up to figure out ways of mining the lucrative mineralogy locked up in the lunar soil.
When we go we’re going to have to figure out a much more watertight system for handling legal issues in space.
We’re actually in the midst of a Moon rush right now.
A growing number of countries and companies have the lunar surface in their sights in a race for resources and space dominance.
So, are we ready for this new era of lunar exploration?
Recently, images were beamed back to Earth of China’s flag unfurled on the Moon.

“There are so many areas to help in our local community and it brings people together.

A strong performance from either Stevie or Chloe could lead to further opportunities for the young players, with the possibility of visiting the camps of both the Newcastle Knights and West Tigers women's teams.

Touch players represent region
By Kim AMBROSE
A TRIO of Camden Haven
High School (CHHS) students recently represented the North Coast in the NSW Combined High School State Touch Football Championships in Newcastle.
Picked for the representative side after impressing at regional trials were Noah Model, Cohen Model and Tayte Gibson.
The State Championship runs for three days, with regional representative sides from across the state participating in a number of competitive matches.
The event also serves as a platform for talented athletes to showcase their skills and vie for a spot on the NSW Open Boys Touch representative team.
The Open Boys North Coast side took out an impressive fifth place at the Championship.
Monday kicked off with a team meeting and training session, setting the tone for the week ahead.
Tuesday saw the team facing off in a series of intense games on a very wet and soggy playing surface.
The side’s first game against Western ended in a 3-3 draw, with visibility of the try line proving challenging due to mud.
Game two against Sydney South West resulted in a 9-9 draw, before a 6-4 loss to Sydney North.
On Wednesday, North Coast suffered two losses, going down 9-5 to Hunter and 7-6 to Sydney East.

Buckley Shield battles
By Kim AMBROSE
UNDER 14s rugby league players from Camden
displayed their prodigious ability and commendable sportsmanship as they did battle in the statewide Buckley Shield competition.
In the divisional playoff, the CHHS Under 14 boys dominated Coffs Harbour’s Orara High School, coming away with a commanding
54-8 win.
This placed the CHHS boys in the top sixteen teams in the state.
On Wednesday 26 June they took on Warners Bay High School (WBHS), the Hunter area champions.
The quality of boys sides ensured a highly competitive match, with the lead changing several times throughout.
Warners Bay were first to cross the try line in only their second set of six, but the boys from CHHS had no intention of throwing in the towel and at half time the score was locked at 16-16.
The battle of the second half was just as intense, with both teams crossing the try line to level the
scores once again.
With just minutes left on the clock, Warners Bay scored late to break Camden Haven hearts, taking the win 26-20.
CHHS fitness instructor Grant Mason told News Of The Area (NOTA) the boys “played really well”.
“It was a very strong game by both teams and I’m sure Warners Bay will perform well in the next round.”
CHHS Deputy Principal and Under 14 Boys coach Shayne Vonbun said the match was “a great competitive game that was played in good spirits”.
Despite the loss, Vonbun thought the Camden Haven boys were “predominantly
the better team”.
“We had some bad luck and made a few crucial errors and this made the difference to the end result,” Vonbun told NOTA.
“Our boys are definitely up to that level.
“I was really proud of the team’s attitude, effort and intensity.”
Vonbun reserved special praise for Zeke Fahina, Jude Stricker and Nash Knight for their standout performances.
“They delivered when needed and they never gave up!”

'Superhuman' para-athletes look to bounce back in Paris
By Jacob SHTEYMAN, AAP
AFTER falling down the medal tally at the 2021 Games in Tokyo, the Australian Paralympic team believes they are "one of the strongest" to represent the country.
Australia's Paralympics team will leave home as paraathletes but when they touch down in Paris in August they will do so as "superhumans".
Champion track and field athlete Vanessa Low will be participating at her fourth Paralympics and has seen the quality and competitiveness grow with each staging.
For the German-born long-jumper, who lost both her legs above the knee when she fell from a train platform as a teenager, the opportunity to become an elite athlete has changed the way she sees herself.
"I think London (2012) was a big turning point for the Paralympics where for the first time we weren't just seen as the Games for people with a disability," Low told AAP.
"I remember sitting on the plane and saw a big poster saying 'meet the superhumans', and I think that really stuck with me and it made me see the sport in a different light."
After a car accident cruelled a promising rowing career, finding para-sports was "life-changing" for Alexandra Viney.

13s, recently stepped out in the famous red, white and blue after being selected in the Roosters JRL Under 13 Development Squad.
Although still young in years, Moore has impressed coaches, family and friends with his power and strength both on and off the field.
He first ran onto the footy field for the Camden Haven Eagles Junior Rugby League Club in Under 9s and hasn’t looked back.
Moore continued to play for the Eagles for the next three seasons, only switching to the Raiders this year due to team numbers.
Earlier this year, Moore
trialled and was selected in the Group 3 Junior Rugby League (JRL) Academy.
Moore’s talents were identified by the NRL side when playing for Group 3 against the South Sydney academy.
From here Moore was asked to attend a training session in Sydney with the Roosters Under 13 Development Squad.
This led to Moore taking the field on Tuesday 25 June in the tri-colours.
His quick play-theballs, support play and gutsy defensive efforts were a critical element of the Roosters’ 28-8 win over the Balmain Tigers U13 Development side.
shown to people who had a disability was immense and it broke my soul," she said.
"For eight years I struggled and since I finally reconnected with para-sport it's been immense.
"It gave me purpose."
The Paralympics team is ready to reassert its status as a leading nation at the Paris Games after a quieter, COVIDaffected outing in Tokyo.
Australia finished eighth on the medal tally in 2021 after placing in the top five in every Games since Barcelona and Madrid 1992.
"In Paris you're going to see one of the strongest teams ever to represent this country," Viney said.
There's no doubt preparation has been much smoother than for Tokyo, when quarantine restrictions limited the team's time together.
Paris represents a golden opportunity to get back on track ahead of the home 2032 Games in Brisbane.
When Sydney hosted the 2000 Games, Australia topped the Paralympics medal tally.
"We have this amazing runway as they call it, but we can't waste it," said 2024 team co-captain Curtis McGrath.
"We need to make sure that we are going out there, identifying talent, getting people involved in sport."
The Gold Coast canoeist, who lost his legs while serving in Afghanistan, said

With aspirations to follow in the footsteps of his idol Nathan Cleary and don the NSW Blues jersey one day, Moore's future in rugby league looks very promising.
The Sydney Roosters Academy was established in 2021 and delivers targeted coaching and development programs for players invited to participate in the Club’s Junior Representative (ages 16-19 years) and Junior Development (ages 13-15 years) programs. Graduates of this program include three-time Premiership winners Jake Friend and Boyd Cordner, as well as Premiership winners Joseph Manu and Victor Radley.
