Extraordinary Doll House FROM Page 1 The Area. There are beaded dolls, dolls that date back to the last century, baby dolls, grandma dolls, so many dolls that it is truly an overwhelming collection. “I cannot leave anything alone, I have to fix it, dress it,” “My husband used to help me and he was just as engrossed as I was,” Olga said. “He’d find a doll in an op shop and he’d say you don’t have this one.”

Sadly Olgas husband Tony passed away just over a year ago but she promised him she would eventually open her collection to the community.

The not-for profit community art group “Galleries in the Gardens” has turned the once neglected house into a permanent home for the works of its creative members who are all local to the Myall Coast. Having traded now for a few weeks, The Gallery has already attracted over 1,900 visitors and received lots of positive comments
not only for the beautiful surrounds, but also the quality and variety of artwork inside. “It is an exciting time for Galleries In the Gardens (GIG), President of the Group, Trevor Cook said. “We have been delighted with the feedback.” “Quite a few visitors have said The Gallery compares favourably with those in the capital cities,” Trevor added. “That’s not a bad pat on the back for the working bee volunteers

who have rejuvenated this landmark inside and out over the last five months.” Now it is time for the grand opening of this latest Tea Gardens attraction, the celebration to be held on Friday 19 January from 5 pm to 8pm. Mark Tedeschi, AM QC, who once owned ‘Nicole’s Café’, will officially open The Gallery. Mr Tedeschi is an award-winning photographer and author with a strong interest in the arts, a high-profile
barrister and law professor. The group’s latest artworks will be on display and a fundraising raffle will give the chance to win three special paintings by artist Lorna Hopcroft. The Gallery is open every day except Tuesdays, 10am to 4pm. Shortly, on Wednesdays, the group will recommence ArtSpeak, where members and others gather to get creative while socialising.

The NSW Court of Appeal recently considered the respective liabilities of a landlord, managing agent and tenant arising out of the collapse of a balcony at a rental property at Collaroy.
The landlord had engaged an agent to manage their rental property. During the tenancy, the tenant raised numerous issues concerning the state of repair of the upstairs balcony. The agent obtained quotes for repairs and forwarded these to the landlord however these were not acted on. The balcony subsequently collapsed injuring 4 people. The injured persons commenced proceedings against the landlord and the agent for their injuries. The landlord and agent issued cross claims against each other and also against the tenant.
www.mullanelindsay.com.au It was found the agent was in
breach of its obligations under its management agreement by failing to properly investigate or recommend the landlord obtain expert advice on the structural integrity of the balcony and taking steps to prevent access to the balcony until this occurred. On appeal, it was held that the landlord was also liable. It was found that being aware of the tenant’s complaints, a reasonable landlord should have formed the view the agent was not discharging its duty and instructed the agent to do so. The landlord’s liability was assessed at 30%. It was also held on appeal that the tenant was liable. It was found that a reasonable tenant having expressed concerns as to the safety of the balcony, should have prevented access to the balcony until its structural integrity had been properly investigated and the tenant’s liability was assessed at 20%.

Baton Relay Honours By Daniel SAHYOUN
run the 12th leg of the relay along Wallis Street in Forster, said carrying the baton containing the Queen’s message will be an experience of a lifetime. “I feel ecstatic that I get the opportunity to do this,” she said. “I am very honoured to be picked to be one of the representatives for the MidCoast region.” Jennefer, who lives in Wang Wauk with her family, is an active member of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS). At 22 years of age, she is the youngest person ever in the Mid-North Coast region to qualify as a crew leader. She has been a training officer in the Nabiac Brigade
JENNEFER Trott said she is extremely proud to have been chosen to carry the Queen’s Baton on its way to the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. The baton will arrive in Tuncurry on 2 February, and Jenn is one 16 MidCoast residents who will take part in the relay on day 39 of its epic 100-day journey around Australia. Kicking off at 4.20pm at Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club, baton bearers will work their way through the town, across the water by boat to John Holland Park, and finish up at Forster Ocean Baths around 5.40pm Jennefer, who will
for the past three years, is involved in RFS community engagement work and is also an active member of the Nabiac RSL, assisting veterans and their families. Jennefer said being selected to carry the baton was an absolute shock. “The first I knew about it was when I got an email telling me I had passed to the next stage of the selection process,” she said. “It didn’t say who nominated me, and I am still not actually sure who did.” The baton will arrive on the Gold Coast on 4 April where the Prince of Wales will read the Queen’s message during the Opening Ceremony of the XXI Commonwealth Games.

THE ‘Free Clinic Bus’ has been in operation for 26 years and is averaging over 200 passengers a year. It has provided free transport for people from the Tea Gardens, Hawks
Nest, Pindimar, North Arm Cove and Karuah to medical and welfare appointments in Raymond Terrace, Maitland and Newcastle on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is funded by local clubs
and organisations and is run and operated entirely by volunteers. Stephanie Gordon, from the Hunter New England Health Transport, presented Certificates of Appreciation
to the volunteer drivers at a recent thank you lunch held at the Tea Gardens Country Club. Stephanie said that she was not aware of any other community transport like it anywhere and it is estimated that the volunteer service saves the Hunter New England Health over $20,000 in transport costs each year.
Free Clinic Bus volunteers celebrate another successful year.

Holiday spruce up A SUMMER holiday maintenance program of painting and roof work totaling almost $111,500 is currently underway at Bulahdelah Central School. Relieving Principal Mrs Deb Gilbert said the work is being carried out across the school, targeting primarily the woodwork room and primary classrooms. It is expected that the fresh lick of paint and roofing will be completed in time for the start of the new school year. Myall Lakes MP Stephen Bromhead announced that the works at Bulahdelah Central School are part of the $2.9 million currently being spent on school maintenance projects in the electorate. “Every child deserves to
have access to great facilities, wonderful teachers and get an excellent education and that is what we are delivering for students here in the Myall Lakes,” he said. “Just like your family home, there are always jobs to be done to keep our schools in top condition.” Mr Bromhead said, “We are making good use of the summer break to carry out important projects while students are off enjoying their holidays.” The summer holiday blitz is part of the NSW Government’s record $747 million school maintenance investment over the next four years announced in the 2017 Budget. Mr Bromhead said this will allow every NSW school to have their maintenance project list slashed by December 2018.

Battling the Bulge Ballooning waistlines around the nation have sparked a push to ban advertising junk food and sugary drinks to children.
BALLOONING waistlines around the nation have sparked a push to ban advertising junk food and sugary drinks to children. The Australian Medical Association (AMA) is also calling for the introduction of a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages to help tackle obesity. The most recent national health report card reveals 22.4 percent of children aged two to 17 in Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and Bulahdelah are overweight or obese, slightly below the national average of 25.8 percent. The National Health Tracker, released by Australian Health Policy Collaboration, also shows that two in three adults in the Myall Coast region are
overweight. AMA President, Dr Michael Gannon, said eating habits and attitudes toward food are established in early childhood. “If we can establish healthy habits from the start, it is much more likely that they will continue throughout adolescence and into adulthood,” he said. But for children looking for ways to keep cool this summer, frozen sugary drinks are certainly a tempting option. The Australian Beverages Council claim that slapping a small tax onto the cheap drinks will do little to deter children from consuming them. Eight-year-old Lucy Collison said frozen drinks can be purchased locally for a little over a dollar. “They are great on a hot

day, but we only have them every now and then,” she said. Young people may be surprised to know that hiding in their large, syrupy frozen treat are as many as 21 teaspoons of sugar, more than three times the recommended daily intake. While indulging in a frozen beverage as an occasional treat certainly isn’t a problem, health experts warn there is a link between regularly consuming sugary drinks and being overweight. This can lead to a myriad of chronic health problems including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Dr Gannon said improving the nutrition and eating habits of Australians must become a priority for all levels of Government.

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help. Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers throughout the circulation area of our FOUR News Of The Area papers on a rotating basis. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of edit@mcnota.com.au and include your title, initials and suburb. Dear Jasminda,
My boyfriend bought me a puppy for my birthday. I was about to break up with him, but the puppy is really cute and I don’t have the heart to do it now. Miss KL, Medowie WELL, Miss KL, this is a conundrum on a number of levels. To start with, and I am being deadly serious here, you should never buy anyone a pet for a present. Pets are something that require careful consideration, adequate shelter and fencing, and a healthy bank account. It is not just the initial outlay, it is the ongoing maintenance: tick treatments, worming, bathing and grooming, replacing the twelve chooks down the road that your dog decided to maul, relining the wall on your rental property after your dog (which is prohibited under your rental agreement) chewed a dog-shaped hole through it, and so on. Your boyfriend did a wellintentioned, but silly thing. Next is the issue of being stuck with this guy because of a dog. Have you read Careful, He Might Hear You or watched Kramer vs Kramer? Your life could become just like that. I sincerely hope you have both written a prenuptial agreement (or in this case a prepuptial agreement). There are important things to consider when you inevitably part ways. Who will continue the puppy obedience sessions? Who will pay for the dog’s needs in winter (puppy coat, blanket, raincoat and so on)? Will you split custody 50/50, or will one of you have to pay dog support? What if you are deemed to be unfit parents? What if, heaven forbid, the dog knocks up another dog and you are left with a litter of pit-bull-cross-poodle pups and you start to look like one of those families from The Jerry Springer Show? Just like those first weeks with a new boyfriend, early days with a pup are full of slobbery kisses, cute photos, gourmet meals and walks along the beach. The long haul, however, is quite a different story. I hope you’re up for it, Miss KL. Pups, like boyfriends, can eventually grow into different beasts altogether. Carpe diem, Jasminda

Tea Gardens Women’s Bowling Club By Lynda RICHARDS
ANOTHER year of bowling kicked off on 9 January for our lady bowlers. Unfortunately this year has begun on a sad note with the unexpected passing of one of our most treasured bowlers. Nola Jackson joined TGWBC in April 1996, she represented our club in Pennants, bowled in winning teams for Club
Championship in the Triples and Fours, Runner up in the Club Pairs Competition on two occasions, assisted with the Sunday Introduction to Bowls, was a National Umpire, mentor to new bowlers,served on the Match Selection Committee and a friend to many. To sum it up Nola was a great asset to the women’s bowling club and we will all miss her. Gone but not forgotten, forever with us on the green. January is going to be a

Unique Rock Duo By Rachael VAUGHAN
LAKESIDE Tavern have got you covered this weekend if you’re looking for a night out on the town. Newcastle duo ViAgro will hit the stage from 8:30pm on Saturday 20 January. For those not fortunate
enough to have heard them, ViAgro are a duo of brothers that divide a drum kit between its two members whilst singing and playing guitars at the same time. Palzy Daivah on vocals, bass and cymbals and Adem Daivah on vocals, guitar, kick and snare drums.
The end result of this impressive split is a full sounding rock band show cleverly pulled off by only two people. With a heavily revamped repertoire of classic songs spanning over six decades of rock, and a few tunes from their own 2010 debut EP,
Please support the advertisers within the News Of The Area
you get a very entertaining, unique and highly energetic show. After a decade plus of constant performing the one and only viAgro are still up for the usual post gig question, with audience members always in awe of how they pull off their unique act. “We still get asked that every night, along with the various jokes about our name, and numerous theories
q
and opinions on why we haven’t got a drummer” says co-founder Palzy Daivah. “A lot of bands lay claim to being different, but over our ten year existence we’ve yet to come across or even hear of another band that does what, looks or sounds like we do,” continues Palzy. With over 1500 shows performed, ViAgro have also supported The Screaming Jets and toured with The
Angels on their 2014 40th Anniversary tour. ViAgro, happily claiming you can’t miss their act, and witnessing them ‘abusing covers like no others’. Palzy told News Of The Area, “It’s always a mad night of rock n roll and partying at Lakeside Tavern, and we’re looking forward to making some noise and having a drink with all the locals once again!”

Club Championship Fours Tea Gardens Men’s Bowling Club By The JAFFA

The winners were the Palm Lake combination of; Peter Jones, Neil Kibble, Ron Rowe and Alan Greenhalgh. They amassed 55 points ahead of The Grange side of Peter Cheney, Tom Short, Graham Kelly and Dennis Ashbridge, who finished on 53 points. 12 January.

The teams of Col Saillard and Ross Barry and Ray Prigg and John Slater filled the minor placings.
13 January The Club Championship Fours started today with four teams competing in oppressive heat and humidity. Valliant Frank Dunn, playing whilst quite ill, had to be replaced by Merv Mills in the Denis Wilberforce team. The team went on to win comfortably 26-8 over the Geoffrey Muggleton four. In the other match, the highly favoured Sean Mearrick team were almost unseated by the Danny Johnson four. An extra end was required to decide the match with Sean’s team winning 2120. 14 January The second round of the Club Fours Championship was played today in contrasting conditions of Saturday. Strong southerly winds and intermittent squalls played havoc on the greens and it was a credit to the bowlers for completing their matches. The Col Amos team accounted for the Bill Thrift team 21-6 with the match called off at the 13th end. The strong Jeff Baker

Karuah Bowls By Trevor DAVIES
q Gary Allerton, a brand new player, having just played in his first ever Club Championship Team competition.
CHRISTMAS is done. New Year, over. Crazy tourist season, survived. To Karuah bowlers, that can only mean one thing, the new bowling year is starting. The first regular midweek social days have started on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s with big fields, names by 0930 and first
free lessons and a gentle introduction. Transferees are warmly i n c o r p o ra te d
into club teams and valued for the experience and skill they bring. Exciting times as the bowls year kicks off. It’s a great sport sometimes unfairly maligned by those who think it’s only for the old and usually by those who have never tried it. If you want to give this exciting, skillful and social sport a try, ring the RSL Club, you might just be surprised. See you at Karuah.
