Education Celebration By Daniel SAHYOUN EDUCATION Week is underway, with Myall Coast schools joining the weeklong celebration of public education. This year’s theme, ‘I Learn, We Learn’, highlights the high expectations and personalised learning that underpins everyday classroom activities. “We strive to ensure every student, every teacher, every leader and our school improves each year,” Tea Gardens Public School Principal, Mr Mark Clemson said. “We have a culture of high expectations for our students and our teachers set high standards, which leads to high achievement.”

Final Curtain FROM Page 1 established back in 1999, Heather Miller, a foundation member, is still part of the troupe.

Over the years they entertained the local community with musicals, skits, melodramas, plays and variety shows. The group also added their talents to renovating and repairing the Hawks Nest

Community Hall. The Myall Coast Entertainers also performed at the inaugural Grey and Thespian Mardi Gras in 2016. Liz Swane is hopeful this is only a period of hibernation.

“Myall Coast Entertainers are hopeful and confident that, with an influx of new people showing interest and stepping up to become part of this valuable organisation, the show will go on.” Any members of the

community who feel that they might be able to offer their services in any capacity are urged to come along to the group’s Annual General Meeting being held on Monday 14 August at 7pm in the Uniting Church Hall on Myall Street at Tea Gardens.

to show off their skills in their particular fields of expertise. The members of the Craft Centre produce a vast array of works from wood turning, lead light, print making and mosaics to the more traditional sewing, knitting and needlework groups. Paul Mulvaney and

Paul said. “To do framing you must be a member and do a three week course.” The framing group meets every Wednesday. Mary Britton joined the centre 25 years ago when it was just starting out. “I used to teach embroidery but now I’m doing American braiding, patchwork and I also spin and knit.” “We have got so many clever people here and the good thing is the people

who come from other areas and come here to retire bring their skills with them so we get to share the knowledge,” Mary told News Of The Area. “You’ve got that much to do in Tea Gardens you don’t have to be stuck at home watching TV,” Mary said with a smile. Next on the agenda for the Arts and Craft Centre is their Quilt Show being held on the Labour Day long weekend at the end of September/early October.

The “high income threshold” is the figure above which an employee is not eligible to bring a claim for unfair dismissal relief, unless their employment is covered by an award or enterprise agreement. Each year, the high income threshold for unfair dismissal claims is indexed upwards. The components of remuneration that count towards to high income threshold are wages, money paid on a worker’s behalf (for example salary sacrifice towards non-concessional superannuation contributions; or to vehicle leases and the like) and the agreed value of

non-monetary benefits (for example the provision of electronic devices). The threshold does not include things like commissions or bonuses (which cannot be determined in advance) nor statutory superannuation payments. Commencing from 1 July 2017, the high income threshold has increased from $138,900.00, to $142,000.00. The threshold, and the components that are included in it or excluded from it, are important to both workers and employers. Depending on individual circumstances, they may determine whether or not a worker is able to bring a claim for unfair dismissal relief.

Don’t be scammed at tax time

THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is urging all Australians to keep their personal information secure and to report any suspicious activity immediately this tax time. Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson warns that identifying information like tax file numbers, bank account numbers or your date of birth are the keys to your identity, and can be used by scammers to break into your life if they are compromised.

“We cannot stress this enough – your personal information must be treated like your bank PIN. If someone knew your PIN, they would have access to your hard-earned income, and it’s the same with your personal information and tax return,” Ms Anderson said. “The ATO works really hard to maintain the highest levels of security, but if someone gets your personal information, they can use it to impersonate you and engage in fraudulent activity.”

“More than one thousand taxpayers reported their personal information had been compromised in June, up by 26 per cent from May, so we know it is a real problem at this time of year.” Ms Anderson said all reports of identity theft are taken seriously, with the ATO working directly with taxpayers when they suspect their identities have been stolen, misused or compromised. “We are committed to supporting victims of tax

said the REDS also provides an opportunity to continue working towards an integrated MidCoast area. “The NSW Government has provided their support by funding consultants, and given that we are a new Council, we want to create an economic development strategy that reflects the three areas,” she said. “The big benefit of a REDS is that it gives us a solid evidence-based approach to support funding applications for significant economic projects that will create employment in our

region.” The Centre for Economic and Regional Development is working closely with selected local councils in the preparation of the REDS. Deb said standardised regional economic development methodology will be used to identify existing economic strengths and new opportunities to enhance development. “We are very pleased to be working closely with the NSW Government to develop the REDS for the MidCoast region and to be one of the first regions in NSW to do

scams and tax crimes. If you think your tax file number has been stolen or compromised, you should contact our Client Identity Support Centre on 1800 467 033 right away,” Ms Anderson said. Ms Anderson said the best defence against scammers was keeping your information safe and knowing what to do if you are targeted. “You can’t be too careful when it comes to your personal details. If you are contacted by anyone

purporting to be from the ATO and you have any doubts about whether it is legitimate, immediately hang up and get in touch with the ATO to verify the call.” “Tell-tale signs include a caller threatening you with arrest or jail, aggressive or rude behaviour, or asking you to pay money into strange bank accounts or settle tax debts with things like gift cards or iTunes cards. We would never do this,” Ms Anderson said. “If something doesn’t sound right, you can always check your myGov account, ask your tax agent, or call

Regional Growth On Agenda By Daniel SAHYOUN A NEW Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS) was the topic of discussion at a series of information sessions held by MidCoast Council last week. The strategy aims to secure a strong future for the region by supporting new business investment and maximising the potential for job growth. Speaking at the Bulahdelah session, Council’s Manager of Growth, Economic Development and Tourism, Deb Tuckerman,

so,” she said. “The success of the strategy going forward is dependent on council working stronger and closer with our community and with our industries.” Deb said local industry and business groups are encouraged to get involved with the next stage of the process which will involve workshops led by the consultants. “We need that local knowledge,” she said. “It is about ensuring people know about the process and that we identify people in the community to help inform that local development.” The development of consistent REDS across State regions is an initiative of the NSW Government’s Department of Premier and Cabinet.

Fire Pit Hit

By Margie TIERNEY

YOU’D normally find Chef Josh Burke busy working in the kitchen of the Tea Gardens Hotel. But last Saturday he was out in the beer garden with a shovel in his hand raking coals. “I’ve been here since 5am this morning,” Josh told News Of The Area. Josh, along with hotel owner Ben Hanson, was up with the dawn, organising and cooking the first ever Argentinian Asada (barbecue) at the pub. On offer, slow roasted, lamb and goat over the fire pit, which proved to be a big hit.

“We were all sold out by early afternoon,” Ben said. “It was great.” “We’re going to have to do more lambs and goats next time.” The weather too was an added bonus, families and groups happy to bask in the sunshine of the beer garden and listen to some live music from the band Wards Xpress during the afternoon. “It’s definitely going to be a regular event,” Ben said.

Bowled over with attention By Daniel SAHYOUN

A REPUTATION for having some of best oysters in NSW recently attracted TV personality Mike Whitney and the team from Sydney Weekender to the local area. The crew spent the day at Cole Bros in Karuah, and filmed as Mike assisted Dean, Stephen and Brock Cole harvest oysters, which was

naturally followed by taste testing. “Mike Whitney certainly loves oysters,” Dean told News Of The Area. “He said the oysters on the South Coast are good, but he can’t go past these ones in Karuah.” Dean said their winter oysters have “a more briny, saltier taste” which “a lot of people love”.

“It blows them away,” Dean told News Of The Area. “We are pretty proud of what we produce here and there’s been high demand for them in the markets in Sydney.” The Sydney Weekender crew were filming throughout the region to promote this month’s Port Stephens Love Seafood Festival, which showcases the region’s

quality year-round coastal cuisine. Dean said the event is an initiative of Destination NSW/ Port Stephens in conjunction with the Department of Primary Industries. “In Port Stephens, producers like us open our doors and show off what we do to the public, so people can see how farms operate,” Dean said.

q Tina and Stephen Cole said filming with the Sydney Weekender crew was a lot of fun.

Cole Bros will also be involved in Farmers of the Sea at D’Albora Marina in Nelson Bay on Saturday 12 August. “All the oyster growers will be there as a group, there will be tastings, oysters for sale and shucking races,” Dean said. “Huon Aquaculture, Cookabarra Barramundi Farm, the local yabby guys

and the Kingfisher Farms will also be there with their wares.” The festival runs throughout the entire month of August and will also feature cooking demonstrations, tastings, educational talks, signature dinners and displays. The Sydney Weekender episode featuring Cole Bros will go to air on 6 August.

I was discreetly breastfeeding my baby in the food court at the local shopping centre, when I was approached by a security guard. He directed me to a room designated for nursing mothers. I asked if it was against the centre’s policy to breastfeed and he said no, but if someone complained I would have to move on. I was too embarrassed to argue. Dear Mrs HK,

OPINION

Hard Landing over Rates Dear News Of The Area,

CONCERNS grows over increases in electricity charges, but media fails to mention the largest expense, that being, land rates. Inflation has been less than two percent, but, this has not prevented MidCoast Council (MCC) from pushing their agenda seeking a 28.5 percent increase over four years. IPART, granted MCC a 27.3 percent increase taking into account IPART’s criteria, that being ,their community consultation, the need for an increase and the community’s ability to repay. MCC’s new proposal for a Special Rate Variation(SRV) was only drafted in April,was

Carpe diem, Jasminda

and a garbage collection. As regards electricity, because we are in an Essential Energy area, we pay twice the Supply Access Charge (SAC) than Sydney. Water rates are currently $1200/year, before you turn the tap on. These are soon to be combined with land rates so expect the combined annual land/water to be $3700 plus and $4500, or nearly $100 a week, in four years. Is this the reason city dwellers are reluctant to come to the country? John Alterator Hawks Nest.2324.

Call For A Copper Stick

Dear News Of The Area,

MANY revolting, socially unacceptable acts occur in a food court, but breastfeeding is not one of them. First the sights: There is more exposed skin in a food court than you can poke a soggy chip at. Muffin tops rolling out of trackie-daks, breasts leaping from too-tight tank tops, bottom cracks smiling, tuckshop arms flapping . . . you name the body part and it’s there in all its shameless glory. So how a breast (hidden by a baby’s head and a strategically placed bunny-rug) can be an issue, is beyond the bounds of logic. Then there’s the sounds: Toddlers screaming into their kebabs. Uncouth individuals coughing all over your salmon and avocado sushi roll without so much as a sorry. There’s the glug-glug of people mindlessly shoving fist-sized helpings of unrecognisable food in the general direction of their mouths, gluttons with no sense of delicacy or decorum, the din of futile chatter, zippers straining against beer guts, gravy sludge slurped by an unwatched child. How can the delicate sound of a baby having her 10am feed be heard over the ruckus? It seems to me, that the natural, unsullied undertaking of giving a baby a healthy and nutritious meal straight from mother nature is perhaps just so far removed from the fusty, fetid, scraping, screeching environment of a food court, that they simply don’t know what to do with you. Or maybe the security guy was bottle fed.

not put to the community, it indicated the need, but, the ability, or lack of, to pay this increase by the community was obviously ignored by both MCC and IPART. The Great Lakes area has been recognised in the Census as having a median age of 60, the highest in the Nation, hence, a significant number of pensioners and Self Funded retirees are on fixed incomes. Our land rates are now twice that of popular Sydney suburbs and heading for three times the Sydney rate. Sydney ratepayers enjoy the Opera House, entertainment facilities, transport modes and links, whilst Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest has a bus twice a day

THE volunteers at the Bulahdelah Courthouse Museum have recently set up a sewing corner featuring garments and items from the early 1900s, including a nightdress which was a prize winner at Bulahdelah Show. We obtained a display

cabinet when the library moved into the RTC and have it full of lovely old vases, a lot of which were wedding presents given to brides in the 50s and 60s. The laundry is looking great and we are currently searching for an old blue bag, a draining pot and copper stick.

If you have any of these items, we would be more than grateful and we would love to add them to our laundry. The museum is opened every Saturday from 9am until 3pm. Entry fee is $5 and we welcome everyone. Irene Worth

Massive re-vamp for Pet Shop

BAYNews Of The Area

By Charlie ELIAS

THERE’S some exciting news for local pet owners and lovers – Port Stephens Pet Warehouse has undertaken a massive revamp, breaking new ground in quality and service. The one-stop pet store, which has been owned and operated by local businessman Brian Blake for more than 10 years, offers everything a pet owner needs. The massive warehouse stocks leading brands in a range of pet accessories, food, clothing, toys, bedding, collars and leads. There is also an array of birds (many hand-raised), reptiles and fish available, and in groundbreaking news the local business can now also offer a dog wash, in addition to pet grooming and styling. Mr Blake said he was excited to have Petz Palace open its doors adjacent to the Pet Warehouse in Shearwater Drive, Taylors Beach. “We are fortunate to have experienced pet groomer Maura Bandi available five days a week,” Mr Blake said. “The grooming business will complement our newly installed, do-it-yourself dog wash facility. “In addition to the warehouse revamp, this will provide the Port’s many pet owners some of the

q Pet Warehouse staff Lisa Steane, Brian Blake, Maura Bandi and Kate John. best products and services available, which we are very proud of.” Mr Blake said some of the additions customers will notice are the new signage and lighting, a separate space for reptiles and easier access.

What has not changed, however, is the excellent customer service that has become synonymous with Pet Warehouse. Mr Blake paid tribute to staff members Kate John, Lisa Steane and Maura, who have

more than 100 combined years of experience working with pets. “The staff are very knowledgeable and caring and are happy to provide customers with the best advice on products for their

pets,” Mr Blake said. “We are also proudly local and independent and I want to thank the many loyal customers who continue to visit us from all parts of Port Stephens.” You can find the Pet

Warehouse at Unit 4/9 Shearwater Drive, Taylors Beach, where there is plenty of off-street parking. Bookings for the Petz Palace can be made on 4919 0495.

Medodians Music Tapestry

By Ray HOSKING

WITH new members joining almost every week, the Myall Melodians continue to go from strength to strength, and now have a registered membership of more than 80. Every Tuesday evening, the Grange Auditorium is filled with many happy singers, combined with much laughter as they enjoy improving their musical skills, honed by the group’s unique Musical Directory, Margaret Rowden. The Melodians’ next major production, ‘A Tapestry

of Musical Nostalgia’ will be held at Tea Gardens Grange. Evening performances will commence at 7pm on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 August, with a Matinee at 2pm on Sunday 27 August. Tickets are $15 each and are on sale at Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest Pharmacies, as well as The Grange Gatehouse. The concerts will include all the highlights from the group’s recent sell out performances including Salute, Celebrating Musicals, Gilbert and Sullivan and The World in Harmony. In addition, the

production will feature a light hearted historical account of how The Melodians came into being, it’s growth and remarkable development. This year, the Melodians have partnered with the Myall Coast Rotary Club, supporting community projects by raising funds for Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest Surf Lifesaving Club, to provide a defibrillator, a PA system for the beach vehicle and upgrade of signage. Tickets for the performances are in high demand and as there is limited seating available, it would be wise to book early.

PROGRESS is being made following the recent talks between the Tea Gardens/ Hawks Nest Community and Port Stephens Ferry Service. Malcolm Anderson, Business Advisor to Ferry Operator Adrian Thompson, met last week with MidCoast Council’s Daniel Aldridge to discuss changes to the timetable

signage at the Tea Gardens Wharf. “We’re going to get the signage sorted so that anyone walking here can understand it and what we’re doing on any given day,” Malcolm Anderson told News Of The Area. Currently the sign is a mishmash of blocked out phone numbers from operators no longer servicing the Tea Gardens run.

q TEA GARDENS WHARF: MidCoast Council’s Dan Aldridge and Ferry Spokesman Malcolm Anderson.

It also states that ‘Ferries depart every half hour 7 days a week’. Council’s Daniel Aldridge says there’s no impediment to a new sign as far as MidCoast is concerned. “Approval is already in place,” Mr Aldridge said. “Anyone who sees the sign will be able to work out how to contact us,” Mr Anderson said. “We will link that to the available technology that everyone has access to these days, Facebook, our website and mobile phone.” “We know how important the ferry is to the whole community not just the tourism industry.” Mr Anderson says the new signage is a priority and will hopefully be in place within weeks along with a new timetable. As for the ferries no longer stopping at the Hawks Nest Wharf, Mr Anderson said, “We have no way of knowing who’s going to be there, it adds to the timetable, it’s not a simple pick up.” “There are issues we are still trying to resolve around Hawks Nest.”

Funding For Local Projects By John SAHYOUN

THREE Myall Coast organisations have been allocated funds in the final round of the NSW Government’s Stronger Communities Grants Program. Announced last week, Bulahdelah Scouts will receive $10,650 for new equipment, Tea Gardens Men’s Shed were allocated $23,650 to go toward their new building and Tea Gardens Soccer Club received $14,000 for seating at Memorial Park. Bulahdelah Cub Leader, David Mort, said the grant will enable the purchase of six new canoes and a trailer, in addition to a data projector and screen. “These grants are good

for groups like us because they help us stay operating,” David told News Of The Area. “The canoes will be easy to manage and will encourage the kids to get out and do more outdoor activities, and the projector will allow us to run educational programs.” MidCoast Director of Community Spaces and Services, Paul De Szell, said a total of 19 projects in the MidCoast area will be kick-started through this final round of the Stronger Communities Fund. “We had a terrific response from community groups, with 75 applications received in this round,” he said. “The panel appointed to work through the applications had an extremely rough job in

Hazard Burn By Margie TIERNEY

HAWKS NEST NEWSAGENT: Hugo Elstermann.

New Postal Hours

By Margie TIERNEY

HAWKS NEST definitely qualifies as a tourist destination. But not everyone is on holidays. One of the hardest working locals is Hawks Nest Newsagent Hugo Elstermann. Monday to Friday, Hugo opens his doors at 5.30am to catch the early rises. “The community is coming in earlier and earlier,” Hugo told News Of The Area. But Hugo is so much more

than a Newsagent. He also runs the Post Office and he’s decided to extend its hours. “Instead of 9am, we’re opening the Post Office at 8am Monday through Friday and Saturday morning as well,” Hugo said. “It means you can do passport interviews early in the morning, and organise your photos if you’re time stretched,” Hugo said. And of course there’s the regular postal services as well as banking operations on offer.

Hugo said Australia Post has agreed and supported the move to cater to local demand. “They understood the benefits to the community.” While Hugo works seven days a week, opening before the dawn and closing after sunset he’s a bit concerned the locals may want more. “My theory is, now I’m opening the Post Office at 8am they’ll want to be able to do it at 7,” Hugo laughed. The new opening time comes into effect this week.

IT felt like spring and it smelt like summer with clouds of bushfire smoke billowing over Hawks Nest last week. But it was all part of a planned hazard reduction burn near the Golf Club and along Tuloa Avenue and Yamba Street. “The burn itself went really well,” Helmut Panhuber, Captain of the Pindimar/Tea Gardens Rural Fire Service told News Of The Area. What wasn’t planned was the number of small fires reportedly started by arsonists but quickly controlled. “They weren’t spot fires,” Helmut said. “There were a few ignition points.” Police were also quickly on the scene. The winds sent most of the smoke out to sea and also aided the fire crews. “We needed strong winds

Headland Highlights By Helen WATKINS

ONE of the favourite walks in our calendar is to Seal Rocks and I’m sure one reason is the continuing benevolence of the weather gods, and again we were not to be disappointed. In saying this I hope I have not jinxed us. So it was no surprise that thirty plus walkers assembled for another go at ‘cardiac hill’, through the bush to Treachery Headland and along the beach to the lighthouse. In total a walk of about twelve kilometres, or so my

phone app informs me. Some experienced and forewarned walkers elected to avoid ‘cardiac hill’ and waited for the drivers and some other fool hardy or intrepid walkers, a totally subjective interpretation, at the beginning of the bush track. Sitting on the lawn beneath the lighthouse and enjoying our well earned lunch we were lucky enough to catch sight of what must be the tail end of the whale migration north. As with the dolphins that

Muddies Clawed into Semis By Ann SCULLY

LAST Saturday, the Muddies travelled to Taree with twelve players for their clash against the Manning River RATZ in the final round of the Lower Mid North Coast Rugby Union Competition. Despite the low numbers, the Muddies were very competitive in the first half of the match by displaying vigour in the rucks and mauls and more than matching their opposition, but as the match continued, the Muddies ran “on tired legs” and were overrun by the RATZ backline. Every Muddies player contributed solidly with emphasis on the John brothers in the forwards together with Jackson Page and a sterling captain’s effort

Also something that never ceases to excite is the thought of an ice cream at the end of a long walk. Seal Rocks is one of the great unspoiled gems of the NSW mid north coast and home to one of the state’s few remaining Littoral rainforests. Littoral rainforest occurs only on the coast, is very rare and occurs in small stands.

Final score was 59-7 to the RATZ who we now meet in the semi-final to be held at Forster this coming Saturday, 5 August 2017 commencing at 1.00pm, where the Muddies will need a full team to stay competitive.

Restaurant reopens at Nelson Bay

By Charlie ELIAS

TWO years after fire swept through the Nelson Bay Golf Club and restaurant, the popular Bluewater Grill will reopen its doors this week. It has been a tough couple of years for Bluewater owners Will and Tanya Semmens, but they can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. “Working out of the makeshift clubhouse has been difficult, particularly the last 12 months … we had to sell our home,” Mr Semmens said. “But we can now move forward with confidence. We are looking forward to starting again. “We see the reopening in a brand new building as a great opportunity to build on the close relationship we have with our loyal customers and hope to attract a host of new ones. “We are extremely grateful to the local members who have stuck by us through these difficult times.” Diners will notice lots of changes with the décor and seating capacity, which has doubled from the current 60 to more than 120. The menu will feature modern Australian cuisine

and retains chef Tanya’s signature salt and pepper squid, along with family favourites such as beef cheeks and lambs fry. “There will also be a bigger emphasis on the café section with coffees and freshly homemade cakes,” Mr Semmens said. “In fact all our meals are made to order, using only fresh local produce.” The Bluewater will also cater for weddings, parties and conferences, along with golf groups, fundraisers and the like. Families will be made most welcome with the inclusion of a children’s play area strategically placed adjacent to the restaurant. Mr Semmens said that the restaurant employed up to 20 staff including chefs, waiters and kitchen hands, and that customer service remained a priority. The Bluewater Grill is open every day from 10am to 9pm and bookings are essential. The restaurant is situated in the newly built Nelson Bay Golf Club, in Dowling Street. To book telephone 4981 4256 or go to bluewatergrill.net.au.

Freshest Quality Seafood

Special Advertising FEATURE

and Stunning Views

By Marian SAMPSON FAMOUS for the amazing quality of its fresh seafood, the Rock Lobster Restaurant in Nelson Bay boasts a fantastic menu, wonderful views and contemporary atmosphere. The signature dish is definitely the impressive hot and cold seafood platter. On the menu you will also find a stunning king prawn and wonton stack, with crispy deep fried wontons layered generously with fresh king prawns, crispy lettuce and highlights of creamy avocado, drizzled with a dressing which makes for a perfect dish. The tasting plate offers diners a sampling of salt and pepper squid, fresh prawns, balmain bugs and smoked salmon served with a delicious Greek salad, and a selection of dipping sauces, perfect when teamed with a glass of champagne or wine. When it comes to fresh and local seafood, you simply can’t beat the selections on the menu at the Rock Lobster Restaurant. Local oysters grown in the

Bay are featured alongside fresh fish straight from the pristine waters of Port Stephens and its surrounds. Also on the menu are succulent steaks, tender chicken and a delicious vegetarian mushroom risotto as well as gluten-free options for diners with specific dietary requirements. An extensive wine list boasts boutique wines from the Cricket Pitch and Audrey Wilkinson ranges as well as favourites from Tyrrell’s Wines and a range of premium beers. Sit back and relax, take your time, enjoy your meal and the stunning views, watch the pelicans, or you may see dolphins frolicking as you enjoy one of the best seafood meals available anywhere in the Bay. Situated on the upper level of d’Albora Marinas at Nelson Bay, the Rock Lobster Restaurant is great for intimate dinners, casual lunches, celebrations and special occasions. Listen to the live music on the marina on the weekends and enjoy a crisp beer or wine selected to complement

the beautifully presented and delicious meals. The vibe in the Rock Lobster Restaurant is upbeat; you will enjoy the atmosphere of the freshly refurbished modern venue featuring a stunning photograph of the sunset that you can enjoy from the restaurant in the evenings. The friendly staff will be happy to assist you, nothing seems to be too much trouble. The restaurant has been under new ownership for two years and the owners, Megan and Graeme, have been making positive changes to the menu and decor since they took on the iconic business. Bay local Megan told News Of The Area, “We look forward to welcoming locals and visitors to Rock Lobster Restaurant, and hope that they enjoy our food.” “Diners have been telling us that they are really enjoying the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the friendliness of our team.” “We give our chefs free range to be creative and this has added vibrancy to the menu and the specials board.”

Club mourns passing of president Kerry O’Brien. Tea Gardens Men’s Bowling Club By The JAFFA

MEMBERS of the Country Club were saddened to hear of the passing of friend and colleague, Kerry (Sugar) O’Brien. Kerry had recently taken on the job of president of the Men’s Bowling Club and was formerly a member of the Country Club Board. Kerry had a long association with the sport of bowls especially around Gunnedah and Lightning Ridge before he settled in Tea Gardens. He was a mentor to many taking up the game and will surely be missed both as a friend and player. At the time of writing, details as to his funeral are not known. 26 July A maximum field of 42 players

took part in the usual Wednesday Nominated Triples today. The usual team of Ken Devlin, Col Amos and Mark Hair won again with a score of 54 points, two wins plus 14 ends won. On a very creditable 53 points was the team of Brian McPhee, Garry Porter and Henry Dallas. A new format next week will trim the sails of the constant winners in that they will only be allowed to enter into a draw to determine the winner of a monthly prize. The new arrangements are the weekly winning team, plus one randomly picked will go into a draw for a monthly “Queens Kitchen” team of the month. That team will win three $20 vouchers for a meal at Queens Kitchen. There will be two $15 credits to be won that will be added to the winning member’s card.

In addition there will be one $10 “Brewhouse” lunch voucher drawn each week. The “Mables Draw” will continue unchanged. 28 July The light rain in the morning cleared away on cue for the Fabulous Friday Open Jackpot Pairs played today. It was great to see another near capacity field participate. Three-bowl Pairs is proving to be a very popular format and it is hoped that the great fields playing will continue. As the name implies, bowlers are playing for the Jackpot and again there has been a slight tweaking of the format, designed to increase the jackpot amount each week according to the number of players attending. For example, if there are 28 players, $28 is added to the jackpot. The minimum would be $15 for 15 players. This should have the effect of rapidly increasing the Jackpot

Metre men in the second half for the Roos were Matt O’Connor, Ashley Voll, Tim Higginbottom, Luke Perry, Alex Simon, Jack Croese, Justin Anderson, Adam Crampton, Jake Blanch, Matt Weatherall, Ben Feeney and Tim Johnson. With under five minutes to go, the Roos’ Mitch O’Bryan was over for his second of the day and Darren Weatherall converted to take the final score to Karuah Roos 36 Raymond Terrace Magpies 16. It was a fast, hard hitting but a very friendly game. Players player 3 points Mitch Napier, 2 points Tim

Saillard, Jill McBride and Nola Jackson were holding their own up until the 9th end. Not sure what happened here but Dawn Jones, Wilma Drake, Lily Smith and Dale Winter added 15 points to their score over the next 8 ends compared to 1 point added by the opposition. The final result Dale’s team 23 v Nola’s team 7. Congratulations to Dale’s team who were the over all winners for the day. Due to insufficient players social bowls was cancelled on Thursday 27 July.

Higginbottom, 1 point Ben Feeney. Sponsors Choice went to Luke Perry and the Coaches Award to Justin Anderson. Next week the Roos play the washed out game from round 10 against Clarence Town at home with the game kicking off at 2pm. It is our Old Boys Day and the Old Boys will be having a game of touch footy at 1.30pm. Game Day Sponsor is the Myall Coast News Of The Area. Then, after the game, head on down to the Karuah RSL Club for the Trivia Fundraiser for David Smith’s Family at 7pm.

Eight players enjoyed a “roll up”. Just 14 ends played a game of Fours. Dianne Kiss, Lynda Richards, Anne Mackenzie and Nola Jackson 18 v Bette Saillard, Dorothy Dallas, Kerry Faber and Maynie Roberts 15. This was a good opportunity for us to practice some shots and improve our skills. Mixed bowls as usual every Sunday morning. Names to be submitted by 9:15am and play commences 10:00am.

Eight cash prizes totalling $1100. $10 fee for first entry & $5 for other entries. 2000 word limit on any subject. No entry form needed.

Rally Action www.newsofthearea.com.au

By Daniel SAHYOUN

THE dust flew along the challenging 150-kilometre course in the fourth round of the Pipe King Southern Cross Rally series held in Bulahdelah last weekend. In an ultra-competitive field, two of Australia’s top rally drivers, Nathan Quinn and Tony Sullens, along with seven NSW rally car champions, were amongst the 50 teams who negotiated the dirt roads surrounding Wootton Way and Wang Wauk State Forest. The event also featured a night run along Manning Hill road. “This is a competitive field of A-grade drivers,” Australian Motorsport Action Group (AMSAG) spokesperson Jamie Neale said. “It’s all about vehicle speed, vehicle reliability, navigational skill and, of course, driver skill.”

Jamie said speed across the stages averaged around 85 km/h, but with competitors travelling at up to 200km/h on some sections of the course, it wasn’t always a smooth ride. “This is a sport that’s very hard, both driving and codriving, where if you push too hard, it almost nearly ends in tears,” he said. “We have had competitors break wheels and control arms because the roads are a little bit rough, and of course the drivers are not slowing down.” This is the third time AMSAG has held the event in Bulahdelah, which “has quickly become one of the premier rallies on the East Coast”. Jamie said the event attracts over 1,000 people from all over the country, injecting money into the local

economy. “We love Bulahdelah, it is a fantastic place to rally,” he said. “It’s a beautiful location and the bowling club and local facilities are great.” The fifth round of series will be held at Orange in September.

q AMSAG official Jamie Neale gives instructions to driver Peter Houghton and navigator Julian Bylhouwer at Bulahdelah Showground.
