q Past and present staff members Hayley McCleary, Karl Herb and Wendy Middlebrook.
From humble beginnings the local school has continued to grow, evolving through 39 rotations in leadership and more than seven name variations.
Despite these changes the school has served as a pillar of the community for a century and a half, providing a foundation for generations of students to grow, learn and thrive.
The anniversary celebration began at 9:30am, with all paths leading to the library.
Here visitors were greeted by galleries of photos and memorabilia, stirring a mix of nostalgia, teary smiles and warm handshakes.
The formalities included Aboriginal Elder Uncle Bill performing a Smoking Ceremony and Welcome To Country, expressing the importance of this land to the Birpai people.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have grown, learned, and connected on this land surrounded by its beauty and rich history,” said Uncle Bill.
Speakers included current Principal Duncan Adams, school leaders Lilly Bell and Illukah White, former student/current teacher and event organiser Lachlan Milne and retired teacher Karl Herb.
All highlighted cherished memories and enduring connections forged within the school walls.
The day culminated with the planting of a tree, a living symbol of 150 years of education.
Sisters Susie and Kathy Poulton (maiden name) expressed fond memories of their time as students at Kendall Public School and the lasting influence of dedicated teachers, especially Mr Bourke.
“In 1959 I started Kindergarten at Kendall and then I went to teacher’s college and came back and did a practice here in 1972,” said Susie.
Sisters Robyn Begg from Sydney and
Clare Mackay from Nowra, recalled the names of many former classmates in group photos, such as Peter Martin, a former headmaster’s son, along with 16 students who were their cousins.
Clare said that in the 1870s, her great, great grandparents from Upper/Lower Camden Haven (now known as Kendall) were amongst some of the first to petition for a new school to be built.

The 1566.6m2 angled block is at the corner of Ocean Drive and Beach Street, just above the Wauchope Bonny Hills Surf Life Saving Club.
It adjoins a public reserve and has a commanding view of the northern coastline.
Under a Development Application (DA) approved by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (PMHC) in December 2022, the existing two-storey brick residence will be demolished and in its place will be what objectors have dubbed a “compound” and “the Taj Mahal”.
“I do not call it a home, as all homes surrounding it are nothing like it in size, design and style,” said president of the Bonny Hills Progress Association (BHPA) Paul Poleweski, when addressing Council’s Development Assessment Panel (DAP) on 20 November.
The modified plans, lodged by applicant “Collins W Collins” on behalf of owners J. P. and E. J. Stevens, show the fully-fenced threelevel property will span the combined length of five existing homes on the upper side of Ocean Drive.
It includes a pool, pool bar, boat shed, gym, multi-car garage with turntable, library, cellar, sports bar, cinema, multiple decks and living areas, a regular kitchen, a chef’s kitchen, an internal lift, and six bedrooms, each with its own ensuite.
However, the modifications before the DAP related only to the street setbacks, cut and fill, landscaping, the resizing of some rooms, the lowering of the roofline and the construction of stairs leading to Ocean Drive and the newly-completed Bonny Hills pathway.
Among the fourteen public submissions received by Council were residents seeking a reversal of the original approval.
There were also concerns about stormwater run-off and that rooftop solar panels

will block the view (the DAP responded that these were exempt from planning approvals).
One submission read that “the proposed general increase to fencing surrounding the site will create a compound feel and create an unsightly appearance when viewed from adjoining public areas and existing adjoining residential development.”
The changes originally included construction of 2.4m high acoustic fencing along Ocean Drive, which particularly angered residents and was dropped.
The BHPA was one of five objectors to address the DAP last month, as it did in 2022, on the basis that the property does not meet the “distinct community character" agreed to in the 2019 Bonny Hills Community Plan.
“Residents came to us to seek our support and confirmation that we agreed with their concerns,” Mr Poleweski told News Of The Area.
“They thought we would have more clout because we are well-respected.”
However, the modifications were all approved “on merit” subject to the completion and maintenance of suitable landscaping.
The work will be undertaken in three stages starting with the dwelling and site work, followed by the pool and surrounds, and then the boat shed and gym.
NOTA spoke to two councillors who said they were unaware of the development.
A spokesperson for the DAP responded that Councillors are notified of all applications before the panel.
“The DAP ultimately formed the view that the modified development satisfactorily responded to the planning controls and merit-based issues relevant to the site,” they said.
“A copy of the DAP assessment report, meeting minutes and modified approval conditions are available on Council’s website.” (Search for “Modification to DA 2021.964.2 at 976 Ocean Drive, Bonny Hills.")

THREE intrepid students from St Joseph's Primary School (SJPS) have taken out a major win at a prestigious national science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) competition.
The school community is bursting with pride after Harry Shean, Willem De Vries and Gideon Fogg were named Overall Primary Winner of the Catholic Network Australia STEM MAD (Make A Difference) Showcase on Tuesday 19 November.
This was the first time a St Joseph's team had achieved the title.
Travelling to Brisbane for the nationwide competition,
the boys, accompanied by dedicated teacher Mrs Alfina Jackson, competed alongside 80 other school groups representing different Catholic Dioceses.
During the competition
the Laurieton students were assessed on their innovative "Safety Sensor" prototype.
Inspired by a Kidsafe NSW campaign, Harry, Willem and Gideon set out to develop a device that utilises
an app.
This system serves as a warning mechanism for parents and pet owners, alerting them if their dependents are at risk of overheating.
In the event of an ignored warning, an alarm is triggered to draw attention from bystanders and facilitate the rescue of those inside the car.
Harry, Willem and Gideon said the experience was a positive one, particularly
the opportunity to meet new people.
“The groups all had different inventions and different problems they were trying to solve, which was really interesting,” the boys said.
“At the award ceremony our name came up and we were all so excited.”
Mrs Jackson, the guiding force behind the students' success, said she was “so extremely proud” of her students.
“Being from a small school this event provides students
with a broader perspective on the possibilities in the field of STEM.”
Mrs Jackson also extended her gratitude to Tracey Catling, the Digital Technology Lead of the Diocese of Lismore Catholic School Limited.
“A massive thank you to Tracey Cattling for creating this valuable opportunity.
“Not only did Tracey Cattling support our efforts to reach Brisbane, but she also offered feedback to help refine and fine tune our project.”

Jolly is on a mission to improve awareness of endometriosis.
The Camden Haven local has organised an “Endometriosis Awareness Ride” at North Haven on Saturday, 7 December.
This event holds a special significance for Brittany after personally experiencing the excruciating pain and debilitating effects of this disease for years.
Endometriosis is a common disease where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside it in other parts of the body.
According to Endometriosis Australia, the disease primarily affects the reproductive organs but
also be found in areas surrounding the bowel and bladder, as well as in the skin, joints, lungs and brain.
It can cause severe pelvic pain, hospitalisation, and potentially lead to fertility issues.
According to the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health, around one in seven (14 percent) women born in 1973–1978 were estimated to have been diagnosed with endometriosis by age 44–49.
Among a younger cohort of women born in 1989–95, 8.8 percent were estimated to have been diagnosed with endometriosis by age 26–31.
There were more than 3,600 endometriosis-related emergency department (ED) presentations in 2021-22, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
Despite its prevalence, there remains a lack of understanding and awareness of endometriosis, leading to delayed diagnoses and insufficient treatment options for many sufferers.
Reflecting on her own journey, Brittany recalls how her symptoms were
dismissed during her teenage years.
This led to a prolonged term of uncertainty and misdiagnosis, a reality faced by countless women who often grapple with this disease in silence.
Endometriosis Australia estimates there is an average 6.5 year diagnosis delay for the disease in Australia.
"My period was never ever normal," said Brittany.
“But because I was only 15, my pain and symptoms were dismissed.
'When I was 20, I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis.
“I was so relieved but I was also really shocked.
“I thought: ‘Why haven’t I heard of endometriosis before?’”
By sharing her story and organising the Endometriosis Awareness Ride, Brittany hopes to shine a light on a topic that has long been shrouded in stigma and misconceptions.
Through open dialogue and community engagement, Brittany is aiming to empower individuals affected by endometriosis to speak out, seek appropriate care, and take charge of their health journey.
“For anyone experiencing the effects of endometriosis I want you to understand that you are not overreacting, it is an actual disease,” said Brittany.
“You need to keep pushing, to keep fighting for it, and don’t stop because there are doctors out there that are going to listen to you.”

A THIRD person has been charged over the alleged shooting of a man at Bago.
Dahkota Harris, 27, appeared in Kempsey Local Court on Tuesday, 3 December, charged with kidnap in company with serious indictable aggravated bodily harm, and shoot at with intent to murder.
On Sunday, 17 November, officers attached to Mid North Coast Police
District established Strike Force Parham following reports a 32-year-old man was allegedly kidnapped by three people from Port Macquarie.
The man was taken to the Bago area, and was found on Rollover Road suffering gunshot wounds to his arm and legs.
A 38-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man were arrested by Western Australia Police in Barradonia, south of Kalgoorlie, on 21 November.
They were extradited to NSW on serious charges and remain before the courts.
On Monday, 2 December, officers attached to Mid North Coast Police District and Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, were conducting a vehicle stop on Macleay Way, South Kempsey, when they discovered Harris allegedly laying across the back seat of a vehicle. She was taken to Kempsey Police Station and charged. She did not apply for bail during her court appearance and was remanded in custody until her next court appearance on 23 January.

TWELVE Camden Haven
High School (CHHS) students celebrated their graduation from the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Youth Internship Program on Saturday, 30 November.
Port Macquarie MP Leslie Williams, Mayor Adam Roberts, SES Northern Zone
Commander Andrew Cribb and CHHS Deputy Principal Shayne Vonbun attended the ceremony alongside Camden Haven SES volunteers and the students’ friends and family.
The internship program takes the form of an intensive
40-hour course.
CHHS student and program graduate Addison Shaw gave a well-polished speech on behalf of her fellow students.
Addison detailed components of the course including vehicle awareness, operating radios and communication tools, safe manual handling, leadership skills, fire drills and more.
SES Northern Zone
Commander Andrew Cribb presented Certificates of Achievement to Addison Shaw, Mia Ryder, Grace Potts, Ethan Neilson, Billy Hutchinson, Joshua Hoffman,
Lexi Heslop, Katie Green, Matilda Gaal, Noah Douglas, Taj Christenson and Tyler Shaw.
Camden Haven SES volunteers picked students up in service vehicles each day and returned them to the high school after each day’s training.
“This program would not have been successful without the incredible work and support from Caz, Karl, Chris, Ted, Gordo, Gary and Kate,” Unit Commander Darren Mearrick told NOTA.
“Our community is blessed to have such amazing volunteers.”

ICU nurse Kate Handley says she “lives to serve her community”, even though the ongoing battle for fair pay and conditions is enough to get any frontline worker down.
So, when someone in the community decided it would be fun to destroy the Christmas tree she had erected on the front lawn of her Lake Cathie home, it was yet another blow.
“The frustration… was rooted a lot in the cost,” Kate
told News Of The Area.
“I’m an ICU nurse in the public health system and we have an ongoing pay dispute with the NSW Government; our wages have not kept up with the cost of living.
“I’m a single, full-time nurse, trying to pay my mortgage.
“Although it might not seem like a lot, the money that I’d spent on the lights and materials to make the tree wasn’t exactly ‘disposable income’ by any means.”
Kate heard what sounded like “boys” voices coming
messages for Kate to lift her spirits.
One person wrote: “Kate, the community is behind you. We want this vandalism to stop.”
“Don’t let them stop you putting it back up. I love them,” another said.
Kate said that for the most part, the community had shown overwhelming support.
“Many people stopped out the front of my house on Saturday morning when I was dragging the remnants of the tree back inside, just to simply say ‘I’m so sorry that this has happened’.
“The big support came from my family - as it often
from a “new white-looking ute” driving down Tallong Drive and up Abel Tasman Drive around 2.30am on 30 November.
When she shared photos of her ruined tree on social media, the response from the community was quick and angry.
Soon there were other sightings and damage being reported, and neighbours started scanning their home security video for evidence.
Member for Port Macquarie Leslie Williams was among those leaving
does.
“My parents came over with my young nephews, who they were babysitting, [and] my mum brought over some flowers and we ate lamingtons.”
It wasn’t long before those responsible for the damage were identified.
“I advised [police] that I did not want to proceed further with the report as the person responsible had come forward and compensated me for the damage.
“It serves no one to name and shame. The people that need to know, know.
“People make stupid decisions but at the end of the day it’s important to be able
to own your own actions, take responsibility and hold yourself accountable.”
Initially, Kate wasn’t sure she had the energy to rebuild the tree.
“It is a massive effort because it’s a fairly mishmash operation that I built from scratch out of PVC pipe and fittings, zip ties and fairy lights.”
But hearing people saying they were sad they didn’t get to see it in its full glory, has prompted her to give it another go.
As someone who travelled to Sydney on 13 November for the nurses’ strike, she’s clearly not one to give up a fight.

WORK has officially begun on a new playground precinct at Riverview Reserve, bringing a fresh recreational space to North Haven.
The playground replaces the old facility at Bunny’s Corner, which had been out of commission since the devastating 2021 floods and was removed earlier this year.
It also incorporates the established exercise equipment.
The decision to relocate the park stemmed from Bunny’s Corner’s higher vulnerability to flooding, which raised safety concerns and ongoing maintenance costs.
Riverview Reserve’s
location is expected to provide a more reliable and secure site for the new play area. Originally slated to start in early September, the project has been delayed.
When News Of The Area reached out to Port Macquarie-Hastings Council for clarification, it was revealed the Community Engagement Officer who had been working on the project had left their role.
At the time of publication, no further comment had been received from Council
regarding the delay or an expected completion date.
The playground’s design has been modified following community feedback to ensure it is more inclusive,
accommodating a wider range of users.
The precinct is set to enhance the popular riverside area, which already attracts swimmers,
fishers, and families enjoying barbeques.
It is hoped the new addition will further solidify Riverview Reserve as a community hub.
LOCAL volunteer community groups are being encouraged to apply for funding under the Volunteer Grants Program 2024-25.
The Volunteer Grants program is part of the Australian Government’s commitment to assist volunteers and encourage volunteering.
Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie said Volunteer Grants support the work of local community organisations by reducing barriers
for volunteers and increasing participation in volunteering.
“Grants can be used to purchase communication or insurance items and/or purchase items or services to assist volunteers or volunteer-run activities that support the wellbeing and development of children,” Dr Gillespie said.
“This year, eligible not-for-profit community organisations may apply for grants between $1,000 to $5,000.”
The total number of
organisations offered funding in each electorate is capped making the program highly contested.
Assessments and funding decisions will be undertaken by the Department of Social Services.
“I encourage organisations to read the grant guidelines, and if eligible, submit an ‘Expression of Interest’ form to my office by the closing date of Friday 27 December,” Dr Gillespie said.

PARTS of the Mid North Coast have been grappling with a natural phenomenon this week as beaches of the region were inundated with a vibrant, yet problematic, red algae bloom.
Known locally as "red weed", this algae, when washed ashore, undergoes a decomposition process that can release unpleasant odours.
Despite its temporary inconvenience, it's crucial to remember that algae plays a vital role in marine ecosystems.
Fishing in the Camden Haven region this week has been a mixed bag.
While a few tailor have been spotted around the Laurieton headlands, the fishing has been inconsistent. Luderick and bream, however, have been more reliable, with Bonny Hills and Crowdy headlands proving to be productive spots.
Offshore fishing has been unpredictable, as is typical for this time of year, due to unsettled weather and ocean currents.
Closer to shore, anglers have been catching
some nice snapper and a variety of other reef fish. The Laurieton FAD has intermittently produced a few mahi mahi and is expected to improve as warmer currents move south.
On the game fishing scene, a few marlin have been sighted offshore, with hopes for increased activity further north as the inshore black marlin season begins.
While the coastal landscape has been marked by this natural occurrence, the fishing scene has continued to offer excitement for anglers.
In the Hastings River, the recent drop in water temperature to around 18 degrees hasn't deterred dedicated fishers.
Bream have been particularly cooperative around the breakwalls and local wharfs.
The local headlands have also yielded decent bream and tailor, along with great catches at Point Plomer of drummer and luderick.
The offshore scene was quiet over the weekend with unfavourable weather conditions but those who headed out during the week have encountered a variety
of reef fish, including snapper and pearl perch.
Local FADs have been a hot spot for anglers targeting mahi mahi.
Using live bait, anglers have been enjoying excellent catches and plenty of exciting action.
Further north in the Macleay region, the fishing scene has been equally promising. Inshore reefs have been productive for snapper and pearl perch, while mahi mahi have been found in deeper waters off South West Rocks and Hat Head. Kingfish have been spotted around Fish Rock and on the deeper reefs off Crescent Head.
An early push of spotted mackerel has excited angler with the reefs off Grassy being a popular spot. Beach fishing has seen a surge in bream activity, especially in the northern areas like Horseshoe Bay, Goolawah Beach, and Big Hill.
Fresh worms, squid, and prawns have proven to be effective baits.
In the Macleay River, flathead fishing has remained excellent, and whiting numbers have shown signs of improvement, with some
solid fish being caught near Jerseyville.
As we look ahead to the summer months, the long-term forecast suggests
a potential easing of the consistent winds that have characterised recent times.
This improved weather outlook offers hope for
more favourable fishing conditions and increased opportunities for anglers to explore the region's diverse fishing grounds.
MEET Peter Nash, this week’s Heart of the Haven.
On Boxing Day 1986, Peter, his wife Michelle and two young daughters moved to Camden Haven, setting up home in Kew.
Peter worked as a dairy farmer and volunteered with Landcare.
Peter and Michelle have four daughters and seven grandchildren, all of whom reside in the Hastings region.
With a passion for volunteering, Peter has clocked up over 35 years in the Rural Fire Service and was active in the P&C for 21 years at his daughters’ school.
Nine years ago Peter became President of Creek to Creek, a not-for-profit group restoring the Queens Lake Trail to make it accessible for people with mobility challenges.
At this time, approximately one third of the trail has been restored with timber walkways and an accessible path.
“When we finish this boardwalk, the residents in the nursing home can come down here, sit and watch the water instead of staring at the walls in their room,” said Peter.
The trail design has a section with two seats and plenty of space for wheelchairs.
Peter shared a story of an elderly lady who was brought down in her bed to see the pristine waters of the lake.
“It's not about the boardwalk, it's not about the trail,” he told NOTA.
“It's about the impact given by making the lake accessible to everyone in the community.”
Supporting the restoration work is the Laurieton Multisport Challenge, a local event for enthusiasts of trail running, kayaking and mountain biking which draws entrants from the Central Coast to Coffs Harbour.
The purpose of the Challenge is to raise money for the next addition to the restoration.
The next iteration is being held in March 2025.
If Peter had one wish for the Camden Haven community, what would it be?
“In the Camden Haven there are nine separate pathways, and I want them all to join,” said Peter.
“Imagine being able to park your car, to walk, ride or run on all nine pathways without having to move your car, or walk on a road to get to the next pathway.”
We love this idea too Peter!

NUCLEAR power reactors could be operating in Australia within 10 to 12 years, an inquiry has heard, if the government follows the example of the United Arab Emirates rather than Europe.
Two international nuclear consultants laid out that timetable at the Nuclear Power Generation inquiry in Canberra last Thursday, saying Australia's existing nuclear safety authority could prepare laws to allow the technology within three years.
But their account contradicted earlier evidence from the Australian Energy Regulator, which warned it could take as long as 10 years just to create a regulatory framework for the technology.
The inquiry, in its 10th public hearing, was called in October after coalition leader Peter Dutton announced plans to establish nuclear power plants in seven Australian locations if the party won the next federal election.
But details of a switch to nuclear power generation remained unclear, including a timeline for nuclear plant development, the cost to
establish facilities, and how many would be required to meet Australia's energy needs.
Nuclear consultant Ian Grant told the committee Australia could have plants established within 10 to 12 years of making a clear decision about its energy future.
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) already had a legal framework in place the nation could update and use, Mr Grant said, shortening the time for a nuclear rollout.
"We submit it would be feasible for ARPANSA to be ready to review and initiate... a formal construction licence application in less than three years from the day of a policy announcement," he said.
"A nuclear power plant based on proven designs, in our opinion, could be operational within 10 to 12 years of a government policy decision."
The timeline, he said, was based on his experience in the United Arab Emirates, which had established its first nuclear power plant in 2020 after announcing plans in 2008.
Despite questions about differences in workplace
safety standards between the two countries, Mr Grant said Australia should follow the UAE example rather than look to Europe or Britain.
"I would say the keys to rapid progress in the UAE were, first, clear government policy leadership combined with very effective program management and, most importantly, the selection of a supplier who was already
experienced," he said.
"Some of the wellpublicised delays that have taken place in plants in Europe have really been due to the fact that they've been started with incomplete designs, temporary constructions organisations put together with no prior experience, and rather weak project management."
Energy production from
UK's Hinkley Point C nuclear reactor, for example, has been delayed from 2017 to as late as 2031, and Finland's Olkiluoto reactor began operating last year, 14 years after its intended launch date.
The latest nuclear projections contradict earlier statements at the inquiry from Australian Energy Regulator Claire Savage, who told MPs nuclear guidelines
could be ready within 12 to 18 months and it could take "eight to 10 years for a regulatory framework".
Construction on a nuclear power plant, she said, could not begin until the framework had been established, potentially pushing out development to 2047 when existing coal-fired power stations would be beyond their working lives.
Taking a Legal Look
By Manny WOOD
WHEN James and Mary were married in the early 80s, they enjoyed a wonderful evening, dancing to Lionel Richie all night long.
As years passed, so did their taste in music… thankfully.
Sadly however their relationship eventually soured, leading to a lengthy Court battle.
James, who ran a successful business, had established a discretionary trust before his marriage, naming himself as the trust appointer and trustee.
The trust continued to grow throughout their marriage, holding significant assets, including real estate and investments, which were integral to the family's wealth.
During the Court proceedings, Mary argued that she had contributed to the value of the trust assets and that the family regularly used funds from the trust to live a ‘comfortable lifestyle’.
Mary’s legal team submitted that based on these facts, the trust assets had effectively been used as family assets over the years and should be regarded as an asset of the relationship.
However, James' legal team contended that the legal and structural independence of the trust functioned separately from his personal financial dealings and therefore the trust was not his or his wife’s property that could be divided under the Family Law Act (Act).
More facts emerged during the trial, notably that after separation, James amended the trust deed to preserve the trust's structure and he removed any entitlements to Mary and the children.
The Court had to determine if the trust assets were part of the asset pool for distribution under the Act.
The Court found that James had effectively treated the trust assets as part of the family's financial resources. His control over the trust and the amendments he made postseparation were seen as attempts to exclude Mary from accessing trust resources.
The Court looked beyond the formal legal structure of the trust, to the substance of how the trust was used and controlled.
The Court ultimately determined that under the circumstances, the trust was a “sham”, used to conceal assets from Mary… and the trust was busted.

DEAR Jasminda,
MY husband's hearing is getting progressively worse and yet he refuses to get hearing aids fitted. How can I encourage him to do so?

Dear Rowena,
DEAR News Of The Area,
AS a community independent candidate for Cowper, I feel compelled to respond to the concerning article (NOTA November 29) regarding the imminent crisis facing our regional universities due to Ministerial Direction (Policy MD107).
This Policy has led to delays in visa processing and decline in student numbers – specifically in regional areas.
The warning from Charles Sturt University is a clarion call that demands we take immediate action to safeguard the future of education and workforce development in our region.
The impact of this policy threatens not only the viability of our regional universities but also the very fabric of our communities.
Regional institutions such as CSU are pivotal in nurturing local talent, advancing research, and driving economic growth.
By undermining their financial stability, we risk creating a chasm of opportunity between urban centres and our regional areas.
This disparity does not merely affect students; it affects families, businesses, and the entire ecosystem of our community.
Importantly, the implications extend to an alarming skills shortage that we cannot afford to ignore.
With industries across Health, Education, Agriculture, and Engineering
DEAR News Of The Area,
MANY thanks to Theo Hazelgrove of Community at 3 for his letter in last week's newspaper reminding us of the importance of supporting local business.
I have another thought that some of you may want to embrace.
Each month I go to the bank and get cash.
I put a certain amount in my wallet and when I purchase something at a local business, l use the cash rather than a credit card.
I'm sure you already know that businesses have to pay their bank a
facing critical gaps in skilled professionals, our regional communities will find themselves at a severe disadvantage.
If we do not invest in the education and training of our youth, we will only exacerbate the outflow of talent to urban areas, leaving our region ill-equipped to meet future demands.
The urgent need for the government to overturn Policy MD107 cannot be overstated. We must prioritise the sustainability and growth of regional universities, ensuring that they remain accessible and well-resourced.
Every dollar invested in our local education systems is an investment in a vibrant, skilled workforce that will contribute to the prosperity of Cowper and beyond.
As I campaign for a brighter future for our region, I pledge to advocate fiercely for policies that empower our educational institutions and promote equitable opportunities for all.
It’s time we unite as a community, voice our concerns, and demand our government take decisive action to support regional universities, the cornerstone of our local economies.
Thank you for shedding light on this critical issue.
Together, let’s ensure that our regional universities can continue to thrive and that our communities will not suffer the consequences of further neglect.
Warm regards, Caz HEISE, Independent Candidate for Cowper.
I HEAR you. A hearing specialist said to me recently that people don't get hearing aids for themselves, they get them for family members who have contended for years with the television volume at an unbearable level, the constant need to repeat every sentence five times, and the sometimes hilarious but often frustrating situations when those hard of hearing have misheard what you are trying to say.
Tolstoy said, historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.
I've never thought of my husband as an historian, but he comes out with all sorts of gems due to being deaf in one ear (the other ear isn't doing so well either).
Last night I said, “Would you like a glass of wine or is it for a special occasion?”
He thought I said “broccoli”. Out of the entire sentence, that was the only word he heard.
Truly mind boggling.
We have one friend who speaks in a low tone that he can hear with absolute clarity.
Since we are lucky to see this friend twice a year, I'm not sure what help this is.
“I can hear Linda perfectly,” he tells me (often).
“Bully for Linda,” I reply, which he probably mishears as “put it on Tinder”. There is, I think, a bit of vanity involved with hearing aids, but they are now so discreet that no one except the wearer would know they are there.
Even with a hearing aid, there can be issues. My dad has hearing aids, but it is amazing how many times he still can't hear, because he doesn't turn them on.
He tells me he's trying to conserve the batteries.
I think conserving our sanity is more important.
If your husband is being as stubborn as a hearing-impaired mule, perhaps show him how frustrating it is by wearing noise-cancelling headphones for a few days.
When his questions fall (literally) on deaf ears, he may feel compelled to act.
percentage of the sale if a credit card is used.
Especially if other customers are within hearing distance, I say something like, "I am paying you in cash because I don't want a local business to have to pay a bank in order to do business with me."
This is especially important with rising rents, insurance, employee wages and so many other increasing monetary burdens.
I asked a local shop owner approximately how much he paid to his bank each month in order to have a credit card facility and was shocked when he told me he pays about $2000 dollars a month.
Carpe diem, Jasminda.
A typical purchase at his shop would probably be between $5 and $20 per customer.
I ask you to consider having cash available and when you get that coffee, lunch or other product at a local business, use it!
Local business means local money, so important to our community.
Regards, Maggie ADKINS, Upsalls Creek.

CAMDEN Haven High School’s rich vein of rugby league talent was on display at the NRL Summer 7s tournament at Port Macquarie on Thursday, 28 November.
The tournament, which served as the culmination of the 2024 secondary school rugby league season, featured 12 high schools from Forster to Kempsey.
CHHS fielded teams in the U16 Boys, U14 Boys and U14 Girls divisions.
Despite the competition not concluding with finals matches as initially planned, students still had ample opportunity to showcase their skills on the field.
A highlight from the tournament was the exemplary performance of the CHHS U14 Girls team, who maintained an undefeated
record throughout.
“Our first match was probably one of the toughest games we'll have today,” said team captain Kalani Bampton.
“MacKillop College from Port Macquarie is always our biggest challenge, however lucky for us we kept them in the middle and limited them
“Recognition of hard work and dedication by the teaching team and participants has delivered this wonderful result.”
More than 200 clubs are involved in the national competition.
to only one try.” Kalani said the day’s heat made tournament conditions challenging, with just one player on the bench.
CHHS Deputy Principal Shayne Vonbun praised the girls for an exceptional year, and their dominance of the tournament.
“The Summer 7s tournament capped off an outstanding year for the U14 Girls,” he said.
“Today, the girls won all four of their games, scoring 15 tries while conceding only one try.
“Players like Nadia Bligh and Finlay Bell were instrumental in attacking the line, while Cailin George and Kalani Bampton’s strong defensive performances ensured the team's success.”
Mr Vonbun noted the exceptional rugby league talent emerging throughout the school.
“Both the U14 Boys and U16 Boys teams were very competitive, with standout performances from players like Zeke Fahina, Sam Ashby, Beau Sanbrook and Bodhi Kennedy.”

A JUNIOR girls side from Camden Haven High School earned a quarterfinal finish at the All Schools Beach Touch Carnival held at Maroubra Beach in Sydney on Tuesday 26 November.
The carnival allowed athletes enrolled in the school’s Talented Sport Program (TSP) a chance to compete on a bigger stage and take on students from different schooling systems.
Representing CHHS in the Junior Girls division were 12 talented female athletes from the Touch and Oz-Tag TSP, who won the 2024 Mid North Coast School Girls League Tag Challenge earlier this term.
A total of 18 teams participated in this division, with CHHS securing three wins from four games in their pool, progressing them to the quarter-finals.
Despite putting up a valiant effort, Hills Sports High School proved too strong, claiming a 13-
10 victory and going on to win the entire tournament.

Well it turned out a good day for the ladies Singles Championships Finals. I was told it was a very close game all the way and was enjoyed by everyone that watched the game. But unfortunately there can only be one winner on the day. Which turned out to be Jean Donald defeating Anne Smith. So congratulations to Jean and miserations to Anne. But a good effort by both players. Don't forget we have our
traditional touch football,” said
“Each match is played on a smaller field in soft sand, lasting 12 minutes, with no stoppages.

of community and break down competitive barriers.
“Today’s interclub event was great,” said Quinn.
“Mitchell wanted to bring the community together, showing that clubs can work with each other, without rivalry or conflict, and he did exactly that.”
Mitchell envisions expanding his initiative into an annual event that strengthens bonds within the tennis community and attracts new players, particularly from a younger demographic.
“I was really happy with how today went,” said Mitchell.
“This event was a great opportunity to play with and against different players and everyone enjoyed themselves.”
Kendall tennis coach Wendy Hudson emphasised the crucial role of initiatives like the Future Leaders Program in shaping the next generation of tennis leaders.
“Over the years we have had several young players involved in this program,” said Wendy.
“It is a great introduction to coaching courses and traineeships that are available through Tennis Australia.
“These initiatives provide young athletes like Mitchell the skillset needed to propel them towards a successful future both in tennis and beyond.”
