The Family Court and Federal Circuit Court’s Rules encourage dispute resolution rather than litigation. Our specialist family lawyers are trained to assist clients to resolve their family and relationship legal disputes without litigation, whenever possible. Successful outcomes achieved by way of negotiation or mediation can be drafted into enforceable terms of settlement, which are filed with an Application for Consent Orders in the Family Court. The application is generally considered by a Registrar in chambers and if they are satisfied that property orders are just and equitable, and/or that proposed parenting orders are in the best interests of the children, enforceable orders will be made. Statistics published by the Australian Law Reform Commission on Family Law for the Future, and the Family Court include: • Up to 70 per cent of

separated families establish agreed parenting arrangements independent of the family law system. • Up to 40 per cent of parents settle the division of their property through discussion. • In the 2019 financial year, of 19,594 applications filed in the Family Court, 13,870 of them were applications for the making of consent orders. • 86.37% of the Application for Consent Orders involved cases where lawyers were acting for either parties or one party. We can assist you to document and enforce your parenting or property settlement or to help resolve your family law dispute. In those minority of cases that typically involve the most difficult and contentious matters, we also have the experience to assist you with court proceedings, if necessary.

ea Gardens Baptist church has suspended all regular church activities and has encouraged any church member who is not in a high-risk category to find ways to serve the vulnerable in their community. If you are in need of assistance, please contact: 49971011 “Given the size of our church building, we thought we could easily accommodate a 100 people within the social distancing requirements. However, after physically spacing the chairs we could only squeeze in 50,” stated Pastor Len Roberts, “and it would be upsetting if we had to turn people away. We will be continuing our service on a Sunday with the musicians and leaders, and livestreaming the service at 10am for those at home to be involved.” “As we continue to journey together, let’s remember that the church is not a building- the church is the people. So while we may not be meeting together in person, make no mistake about it, we’re still going to be the church. Let’s lean into this moment as an opportunity to share God’s love with others and be good neighbours – to see a need and meet it.” (From https://lcbcchurch.com)

This is Martin Luther’s approach as he faced the plague “Black death”, which killed 60% of Europe’s population: “I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance inflict and pollute others and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbour needs me however I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely as stated above. See this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God.” The Annotated Luther, Volume 4: Pastoral Writings, page 404.

Myall Wine Appreciation Group

By Paul DORIN

ON the 19th of February the Myall Wine Appreciation Group convened for the 34th Annual AGM to reflect on the past year and plan activities for 2020. The Group was formed some 34 years ago by a group of local people from Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and surrounds who shared an interest in combining the very interesting but involved area of Wine Appreciation, through research of wine production, wine styles, food matching techniques and social gatherings. With the passing of time only a few foundation members remain but nonetheless the group has embraced new members who share the desires of the founding members. The group usually meets on the 3rd Wednesday night of each month at a venue selected by a host from the group for that month to enjoy wine, good food and great wine tasting experiences and conversation. Venues over the past few years have included local cafes and restaurants, clubs, hotel and some of our great Hunter Valley wineries through member organised day trips. A typical dinner meeting is started by a glass or two of sparkling wine followed by a selection of wines during the meal service. During the meal service the wines

OPINION

Toilet paper hoarding Dear News Of The Area, WELL here we are a few weeks down the track into the coronavirus threat and still the madness continues. The panic buyers have stripped our supermarket shelves of anything not tied down without any care or the wider community in which they live. They have a fetish for toilet paper! It is about time that they receive some distinction for their efforts, and I propose that we introduce a special award for them to be known as the “Dunnies”. The “Dunnies will be adjudicated by the staff of our supermarkets, who after all know who these people are. They have their pictures recorded on in-house CTV so it should not be all that difficult for us to give them the notoriety they richly deserve. We could award a weekly wooden “Dunny” based on trolley size, a monthly silver “Dunny”, based on the

number of trolleys purchased and every 3 months, until the madness ceases, we can award a gold “Dunny” for outstanding selfishness towards the community. Gold “Dunny” recipients should quietly be invited to leave the community to go and live in a likeminded area where they can openly compete amongst themselves. Here is no place for you. John Slater, Tea Gardens

The Gallery

THE Gallery at Tea Gardens (home of the Galleries in the Gardens not-for-profit art group) will be closed effective immediately and thru to and including Tuesday 31 March 2020. The management committee has been monitoring the unprecedented situation regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and believe a temporary closure of The Gallery is in the best interests of the health, safety and well-being of members, visitors and community. Closer to the end of March the situation will be reviewed and advised of any adjustment to any planned reopening.

being sampled are explained in terms of characteristics and generally the group members are asked to identify the wine from each of 3 by 30ml samples at a time. Due to the amount of wine contained in a 750ml bottle the number of group members and any visitors is usually restricted to a maximum of 25 people, although that is ultimately determined by the host. For more information on the Myall Wine Appreciation Group, contact by phone on 49971661.

Practical measures for Agents

FIRST National Real Estate Hawks Nest has announced practical temporary measures in response to Australian Government Department of Health recommendations related to Coronavirus (COVID-19). The agency says it has taken sensible steps to avoid direct contact, such as shaking hands, is observing social distancing, deferring non-essential rental property inspections, and working with clients responsively on specific arrangements where necessary. First National Real Estate Hawks Nest principal, Mick Rumble, says the temporary changes are intended to underpin the essential functions of the property market as well as to reassure customers that all necessary precautions are being observed. ‘While the presence of Coronavirus certainly requires us to observe some sensible precautions, the business of real estate continues and it’s essential that we support clients who are selling their homes as well as the needs of our tenants and landlords’ says Mick Rumble. ‘So, for the time being, we’re continuing all the normal functions that support tenants moving into and out of properties, but deferring non-essential routine inspections. Open homes continue, but with appropriate contact precautions, and we’ll be offering more private inspection appointments.’ ‘In all other respects, we’re getting on with the job of selling, renting and managing property at First National and optimistically working with our community as Australia responds to the effects of Coronavirus.

Local Red Cross calling with baked treats at Motorfest

Pick what you want: Red Cross serving up treats at Motorfest

Red Cross volunteers stand out in their colours at the Motorfest

By Sandra MURRAY THE Red Cross served up lots of delicious home baked treats at this year’s Motorfest with 100% of the funds raised going to the Australian charity. Around 10 local members, resplendent in red, volunteered their time and smiles to support sales of sweet and savory baked goods. Red Cross volunteer, Helen James, told NOTA, “We love supporting the Motorfest with the vintage cars and crowds.” “March is also ‘Red Cross Calling’ month, our national fundraising campaign. This year rather than door knocking, we are urging locals to support our fundraising by purchasing baked goodies or going online at redcross.org.au.” In the wake of the drought, Black Summer bushfires and floods, there have been some community concerns about how and when donations are distributed to families and people in need. The Tea Gardens Red Cross Branch is a long standing and strong group of volunteers who meet regularly and support many community events and service projects. They have contributed towards raising over $127m since July 2019. These funds immediately went to onthe-ground relief centres and evacuation points ($5m) and directly to people who lost their homes and /or family members ($61.5m). Another $60m is being allocated to support mid-to-long term recovery across many locations. Some recovery projects will take a few years to complete. Donations will continue to roll out to support Australians with appropriate administration support to ensure access, equity and prevent any fraud. For further information about the Red Cross Tea Gardens Branch or to join or donate, contact 1800 733 276 or email nswmembership@redcross.org.au.

SADLY, the Bridge Club has closed its doors on Sunday 15th March, due to concerns about the Coronavirus. There were several reasons for this decision. We have a relatively high number of members who would be considered at risk if they were to fall ill, and we recognised that it is impossible to practice ‘social distancing’ when playing bridge face-to-face. The club is looking at online alternatives and intends

to continue to maintain contact with its members through its newsletter. How life can change in one week! Before the closure on Friday 6th March, the ‘Under 100 Masterpoints’ competition began. This was an opportunity for less experienced players to play against one another, while the more experienced players played in their own separate session. With each session of bridge that you and your partner win, you receive a proportion of a Masterpoint. It takes a long time to accrue Masterpoints, although we have one member of our club who is a Grand Master with over 1,000 Masterpoints, and many players called State Masters with over 100 Masterpoints. The ‘Under 100 Masterpoints’ competition was played over two weeks and

The ‘Shelia from Bulahdelah’ finds Joy in Kenya Slums By Sandra MURRAY NORTH Arm Cove hosted a very successful International Women’s Day High Tea this year. One of the two keynote presentations was by Joanne Trotter, retired principal of St Joseph’s Primary School. Joanne delivered a powerful and often sad insight into the daily challenges faced by girls and women living in the Kibera slums in Kenya. Here is a shortened version of her presentation. “I first visited Kenya in 2018 as part of the Australian Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders program. The project I decided to support was the “Undies Down Under” which collects and distributes underwear for young women in Africa. So I left North Arm Cove bound for Kenya with a suitcase weighed down by 28kg of knickers all donated by locals. Why knickers? In Kenya, the government does not look after everyone. The Kibera slum of 1.5 million people is not even recognised as a suburb. As such, necessities for people can be scarce. This includes food, medicine and clothing, including undies. I was told that if my suitcase was searched the Nairobi Customs Officers would seize the undies and fine me. I was scared but cleared Customs unscathed and shared those undies. The first night I met Joy, a happy, positive, young woman who gives her time to make

a positive difference for young people and children living in, and often overwhelmed by, the slums. She told me about maternity wards where three women share just one bed. They take turns standing while the other gives birth. Their newborn babies are at risk of human trafficking. I also visited women in crisis centres, in slum schools and in shanty homes. I was overwhelmed and kept fighting back tears. Joy took me to visit women in the Kibera Youth Group. It was a wonderful experience and they all formed a circle to sing and dance. They asked me to dance as well. So, I did my version of the hokey pokey. On completion, I slunk away but then a little hand wrapped around my leg and I saw a tiny shaven head and a little girl called Joy smiled up at me. It was a life changing experience and I could not forget both big and little Joy. Last July, my husband and I went back to visit little Joy’s school called Fairview. It has 350 children crammed into three small rooms built of corrugated iron. Thanks to modern technology we keep in touch and sustain support. This is not a tale of sadness, rather an insight into how communities can look out for each other and care. The lives of both Joys and the other women in Kenya’s slums are incredibly hard, but they have purpose. They look out for each other. When I left, the women gave me my new Kenyan name, the Sheila from Bulahdelah.”

U3A Grand Production of Love Always and All Ways was a fun filled extravaganza THE recent U3A Grand Production of Love Always and All Ways was a fun filled extravaganza on the theme of love. Many U3A groups and groups connected to U3A added their magic performances to the show. The whole theme of the show was Love in all its aspects. Diane Williams brought all the groups together and directed the performance. Diane's words are so apt at this time in our community when we need to step back, make sure that our community is safe and secure and to make sure that we are particularly caring for the elderly who cannot get out and about easily to visit or to do their shopping. Diane said that when trying to think of a name for the show, she researched films/show sayings with LOVE in their title: 'Love Actually,' 'Eat, Pray, Love,' 'Shakespeare in Love,” and many others. Diane said, “With freedom, books flowers, music and the moon, who could not be happy?”

“Keep Love in your heart. A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” “No Love without forgiveness, no forgiveness without Love.” “A lover will give you a kiss, a friend a hug, but a dog will give you her heart.” “The five Ss of sports training are stamina, speed, strength, skill and spirit, but the greatest is spirit.” “A champion is someone who gets up when he/she can't.” “A Nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” During WW Two, Wintston Churchill was asked to cut funding for the Arts. He replied, “THEN WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?” “LOVE ALWAYS AND ALL WAYS” was a variety show with a powerful message. We are living in quite uncertain times at the moment, so the theme of Love one Another is a powerful message which can be embraced by all our community, as we look out

for each other and make sure that neighbours and friends are OK. Thanks to everyone who shared in the joy of the evening.

Fun filled extravaganza.

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 media@newsofthearea.com.au and include your title, initials and suburb. Dear Jasminda,

When making a cup of tea, should you put the milk in first, or the tea? Dear Mrs PH,

Mrs PH,

I’M NOT sure who you are, but I think I love you. Here I was thinking the new world order was somewhere between Lord of the Flies and Contagion and yet amongst us are people like you, Mrs PH – in downtown Medowie of all places – making civilised decisions about cups of tea. I can see you there with your fine bone China tea set (cup and saucer, milk jug and sugar bowl) a little tasting plate of Scotch Finger and Monte Carlo biscuits, a polished silver teaspoon, and your Miranda Kerr Friendship teapot adorned with pretty pink peonies. Outside your window are people walloping each other over the head with hand sanitiser and a gentleman using your sprinkler as a bidet and yet there you are, an oasis of calm, your 12-blend Twinings Tea Chest taking pride of place on the kitchen bench and the teddy bear you’ve knitted entirely from reused teabag strings perched next to you. There’s something very reassuring about that image in these uncertain times. Now, back to the question. Let’s turn to science. Dr Stapley (of Loughborough University, no less, and inspired by George Orwell which seems appropriate in our current times) determined that putting the milk in last caused uneven heating leading to the proteins denaturing. I have no idea what this means, but it doesn’t sound good. On the other hand, if you use teabags, putting the milk in first will result in a soggy teabag and lessen its efficacy when boiling water is added. In this instance, the milk will need to go in last after the obligatory bag jiggling phase. For purists (and to reduce single-use plastic that is found in many teabags) I would recommend the following: Boil the kettle (preferably one of those stovetop ones that whistle when ready) and fill your Miranda Kerr teapot with hot water to warm it. Arrange your tea set and biscuits. Empty the pot and add one scoop of tea for each cup and one for the pot (why? I’ve no idea, but it sounds authentic). Add the hot water and allow it to steep. Now pour the tea into your delicate teacup and add milk and sugar to taste (this will allow you to regulate the colour and strength). Finally, sip quietly, don’t be tempted to dunk your Scotch Finger, and chant a little ‘oasis of calm’ affirmation to block out the loonies beyond your rose garden (and also the ones inside now that you are home schooling during a pandemic).
