Busy start
By Geoff WALKER
A 34-degree day, tinder dry bush and a howling wind gusting to70kph saw a total fire ban in force recently and out-of-control bushfires ravaging the state of NSW. Tilligerry Rural Fire Service responded with call outs to major blazes as far afield as Wallaroo, the Richmond Vale Railway Museum near Kurri, Salt Ash and Medowie. As many as three of the four Tilligerry tankers were deployed at any one time to fight the fires. One special unit is always kept back on standby at the new million dollar station as a village protection unit. Emerging out of a record
dry winter with massive fuel loadings we now face the prospect of more out-ofcontrol summer firestorms. Looking at the big picture, veteran firefighter and life member of Tilligerry Brigade Richard Osborne OAM has an ominous warning for the fire seasons ahead, “Bushfire control is all about fuel management,” he said. “This last winter saw some of the best burnoff days imaginable but there were no burnoffs.” “It doesn’t matter how many water bombers or fire trucks you deploy, you just can’t fight the big summer firestorms,” he added. “The massive amount

After parting on compatible terms, my girlfriend and I remain friends on social media. In my feed this week, Facebook offered me to share one of their ‘you’ve been friends for three years’ collages. You know, the one that shows photos of you both and then the number of times you’ve ‘liked each other’ (1035 times). I did share it, but it has since been removed.
VOTES are counted, results are in, and Central Ward residents can now welcome their official new Central Ward councillors for Port Stephens Council. Steve Tucker, Sarah Smith and Chris Doohan took out the tightly contested top spots to claim victory in Central Ward, ahead of their counterparts. Steve Tucker topped the ward polls at 28.84 percent, with Sarah Smith on 25.47 percent and Chris Doohan taking the final spot at 18.09 percent. Central Ward is well represented this term, with
opportunities for all. Sarah Smith is a newcomer to Port Stephens Council, but not new to Port Stephens. She resides in Anna Bay and manages Crest Birubi Beach. Sarah is keen to assist in restoring the confidence that ratepayers have in Port Stephens Council. Chris Doohan is a wellknown face in Medowie, a fierce supporter of the Medowie Sports Club, the previous Deputy Mayor of Port Stephens Council and a strong advocate of anyone needing a hand in Port Stephens. The three new Central Ward councillors got together
“Our ward covers such a large area, so it’s nice to see an even distribution, and a team elected that I know can work together to achieve great things this term.” Chris Doohan told News Of The Area, “We have a great mix of experience and fresh ideas with the elected councillors for Central Ward.” “Our ward councillors in the past have achieved some great things, so with some fresh ideas and energy added to the mix we can only go even bigger.” Sarah Smith said, “We need to not focus on the past, and just concentrate on working together to get things done in
Mr TL, Medowie Dear Mr TL, Compatible terms? What a crock. How about Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin and their ‘conscious uncoupling’. How could a man responsible for some of the coolest lyrics of all time submit to that sort of mad expression? Or call his kid Apple? Gwyneth had to be behind it. In every relationship breakup, there’s the one we naturally side with, and the one who behaves a bit like the Cable Guy. There’s the dumper and the dumpee. There’s the one who gets on with it, and the one who posts ‘we’re still friends, see, we liked each other 1035 times’. Don’t submit to your post-break-up mania, Mr TL. You want to be the quiet one. You need to play it cool. Otherwise you’ll come across as a weirdo stalker, just like you did when you shared the ‘Friends’ post. Tell me you didn’t ‘like’ her Snapchat bunny pics and then share them to your own page, post break up. That’s bad form. Or worse, tell me you didn’t use the angry emoji when she posted some girls’ night out pictures or make a comment like: ‘You look like you’re having fun. I’m just at home eating lamb shanks on my own, you know, the recipe we discovered together on our second anniversary when I took you out to an expensive restaurant, bought you flowers and opened the car door, because you’re worth it. Anyway, have a good night. Stay safe. Call if you need anything.’ Please tell me you didn’t, Mr TL. Go for a drive with a friend, play Coldplay’s The Scientist and wallow in your melancholy away from your social media feed.

New building and workshops for TAG By Rachael VAUGHAN
THE Tilligerry Arts Group has some exciting new events on the horizon, and they’re inviting Port Stephens residents to join them. At 10am on Tuesday 19 September, the Tilligerry Arts Group (TAG) open their brand new building at 12 Meredith Street, Lemon Tree Passage, in the old Lemon Tree Passage Fire Brigade building. The move to this building, the third residence for TAG, and initial basic refurbishment was made possible by a number of very supportive parties who have generously provided financial, physical and moral support.

Arrest leads REPORT to fewer break and enters

THE incidence of break and enter offences have been fewer since the arrest of an alleged culprit according to Senior Constable Luke Rogers from Lemon Tree Passage police. “Residents should still
be vigilant, however, and lock up their homes and cars as these offences are still happening although at a lesser rate,” he said. Items such as cash, wallets, iPods and laptops have been targeted,” he added. “These days policing is

Longriders put on a fine show
Fourteen trophies and prizes were given out to various categories with the day being received very well
By Rachael VAUGHAN
THE weather turned on a much finer show for this year’s Longriders Christian Motorcycle Club charity bike show and family fun day. This special event, held annually in September at Tomago, was once again a huge success. Crowds flowed through the gates, with plenty of families joining in for the family-friendly event. The jumping castles, pony rides and petting zoo were kept busy and the food tent served people all day. There was over 150 bikes with around 20 show cars.

Marching Matilda off to USA By Rachael VAUGHAN
THE Marching Koalas are in full preparation mode for their 2017 USA Tour. Medowie has two band members attending the tour this year, Jamie Pont on trumpet, and Matilda Logvyn on flute and piccolo. News Of The Area spoke with Matilda Logvyn about the exciting trip. “I am so excited to be travelling to America with the band, as tours not only bring amazing opportunities, they also strengthen, and unite us as one band, one sound.” The Marching Koalas, consisting of around 65 members, leaves Australia on 27 December. They begin with a five day homestay in Pasadena, California, where they join with an American marching band, to participate in the infamous ‘Rose Parade’. During the stay, they will take part in events with the Rose Parade, including the parade, ‘bandfest’ and a look backstage at the parade. The parade is viewed by millions of people worldwide. The band will also perform at Disneyland and at various places across America.
As part of their tour, each band has been asked to make a video, focusing on the theme of ‘making a difference in the community’. Matilda and one of the band directors, Candece Bergin-Brown, put the Newcastle Marching Koalas video together. Many of the bands in America have 300 or more members; with only 70 or
so members, the Marching Koalas could use a few more votes. Help them represent our community, city, and country in something amazing by giving them a little support.

Number One in Tucker Box
By Geoff WALKER
FOR more than any other candidate, Central Ward residents put a number one on the ballot paper beside long time serving Port Stephens councillor Steve Tucker’s name at the recent elections. At Tanilba he polled some 777 of the 1576 cast votes; at LTP it was 468 from 1000 and at Salt Ash the count was 189 from 607. He also polled well in Medowie. “I actually exceeded my quota by around 500 which I passed on to Chris Doohan. He in turn had an excess which flowed on to Anna Bay’s Sarah Smith,” he said. “We look like having a progressive line-up with our new mayor Ryan Palmer at the helm,” he added. “It’s roads, roads, roads as far as I’m concerned and the $1 million we secured as a loan will be ploughed back into Tanilba’s streets.” “Looking at the ‘big picture’ we will continue

q Councillor elect Steve Tucker – pleased with the new council line up. to develop the peninsula as a passive recreational area for the locals, day trippers and holiday makers,” he said. “The makeover of the Lemon Tree Passage waterfront has given the area a massive boost. Council will continue to improve this area as well as the Peace Pde
Reserve at Tanilba and the Mallabula jetty area and Caswell Reserve,” he said. A closer look at the voting pattern showed an increase in the donkey vote and a more worrying trend of informal voting which was around 20 percent of the votes cast.

Hikers Share Their Secret
By Mandy ELLIS
WITH so many social groups and social activities within the Port Stephens area, there really is no need to be alone; there are groups to suit almost everyone. Port Stephens Hikers wish to share their best kept secret. “Walking in the great outdoors is not only enjoyable, it also comes with fringe benefits,” Jenny Warman told News Of The Area. “We all know that walking is good exercise but there are other bonuses too that cannot be overlooked. “These include the opportunity to make new friends while experiencing the wonder of the natural environment which we are
so fortunate to call home”. The group is always amazed by the beautiful places that they visit, many in our prized National Parks. “Imagine walking through
a rainforest or witnessing the beauty of many of our native orchids or wildflowers when they are in bloom,” Jenny said. “This is just a sample of
