MYALL COAST News Of The Area
OPINION Jetty TIme Limit lack flexibility
for the different types of users
Dear News of the Area
AS a new resident and boat owner in Tea Gardens, I would like to express my support for the suggestions put by Jeff Schionning in the recent letter to the editor (Jetty Time Limit: Opinion article - Jeff Schionning NOTA 23 Jan 2020 P.5). Similar to vehicle parking bays, we all understand that boat access to the jetty moorings needs to be managed. The current time limits however appear overly proscriptive and lack flexibility for the different types of users and different times of day.
The jetty is a great community asset and its use should be encouraged in a fair and sensible way for all stakeholders including residents, visiting boats and traders in the area.
I do hope that the responsible body, Council or NSW Maritime, will review the current arrangement consistent with that proposed by Jeff Schionning.

O n the Couch
with Jasminda Email Jasminda: edit@mcnota.com.au D 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,
Now my child has started school I'm a bit lost. Any suggestions?
Mrs PV, Tea Gardens
OH Mrs PV, I have so many suggestions. Think of all the things that you have been unable to do with a young child at home. Have you been to the bathroom without being interrupted yet? Had an entire conversation without making frantic hand gestures in an attempt to stop your precious child finger painting the walls? Gone to a coffee shop and not had people stare at you with that 'Why would you bring a child here?' expression. Now is the time to take up a hobby you've always wanted to try - go to the gym, give painting a whirl, schedule in that nervous breakdown that you haven't had time for until now. The sky really is the limit.
If you are still at a loose end, you could always join in on school-based activities - help out with reading groups, attend excursions, be a canteen helper, or one of countless activities that are on offer.
What you will find, over the next couple of weeks, is that the time between drop off and pick up will absolutely fly and within a couple of years you'll possibly even be one of those parents counting down the days until the school holidays are over and you can have your freedom back again.
The other option of course is home schooling if you really do want to spend every waking hour with your child. Do you really want to do that, Mrs PV? Enjoy your newfound independence. Go shopping without tantrums. Try on a dress without having the curtain ceremoniously flung open when you are down to your underwear. Have a coffee in peace, and look forward to enjoying the afternoon with your child once the school bell goes.
Disgusting eyesore!
Dear News Of The Area,
WHILST the newly installed transportable may well upgrade the Police facilities of Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest the demountable eyesore which has been provided is a complete disgrace.
Who is responsible for the appearance of the structure? Have they no consideration of the historic nature of the old structures? How simple it would have been to clad the new structure in boarding which is sympathetic to the historic buildings to which it is attached.
Heads need to role on this. Utterly appalled!

Jetty Time Limit conversation OPINION
Dear News of the Area
THANKS for printing my opinion and thank you Rick for your comments (News Of The Area 30 January 2020), I wish you had got a name of our concerned citizen that he may contribute to the jetty discussion to find a more sensible solution.
A few helpful positive thoughts are first, many of our jetty users more senior and not as fit as we used to be, going for a swim or falling off the jetty, many will not be able to climb back out, a ladder on each jetty would be helpful.
Secondly the two useless poles set just off the downstream jetty serve no purpose and make coming alongside more difficult and reduce jetty space, these should be removed.
Are the jetties a council or waterways responsibility?
Can the council and our local complainant please step forward and join the discussion with hopefully some constructive ideas.
Jeff Schionning
Money raised for Cobargo
Sally Hunter Hawks Nest Bridge Club
HAVING raised $1000 for those devastated by bushfires, the Hawks Nest Bridge Club had, with so many needy recipients, the difficult task of deciding who might benefit.
We decided to send it to one community to help people directly affected by the bushfires. One of our members had recently driven through Cobargo and saw the devastation up close.
She said, “having driven through the fire zone, it seems incredible that there is anything left to burn. There is no undergrowth, just piles of ash and most of the canopy is burnt. But the fires still continue to burn”.
A father and son died during the Cobargo fires on New Year’s Eve 2019, trying to defend their property.
An elderly man, who suffered from severe burns, has since died.
One of the funerals was held recently and “a police escort was required to transport food and people to the funeral, because of new fires” said a Bermagui local.
“The constant ‘on again, off again’ situation is really getting people down and preventing the return to any sort of normality. A small catering business in Bermagui nearby has been preparing 900 meals each day and taking them to RFS volunteers as they continue to fight the fires”.
We contacted Lynn Lawson, Secretary of the Cobargo Branch of the Country Women’s Association, who said “we are actively involved in handing out cash for a wide range of things – food, materials for rebuilding, clothes, and accommodation for people who have lost their homes”.
This convinced us to donate to this organisation who are seeing people on a daily basis, as the money will go to a number of people and make a real difference.
Our thanks to all our members who made donations, and to the NSW Bridge Association and Australian Bridge Federation for supporting this initiative.
Hydrotherapy pool not proceeding FOLLOWING an investigation into the feasibility of a hydrotherapy pool for the Tea Gardens area, MidCoast Council has made a decision not to proceed and will instead look for funding to upgrade the current pool.
The feasibility report, commissioned by Council following strong support for the idea of a hydrotherapy pool in the community, determined it was not a financially sustainable option.
This finding was unanimously endorsed by the change room, upgrading of the existing change rooms and facilities and the installation of additional heating and wind breaks. A review of the current fees and charges (including the supervision and collection of entry fees) for all pools in the MidCoast region will also be undertaken.
Council also resolved to discuss with the Parry’s Cove developers the future use of their pool as a community pool.
The feasibility of a pool advisory committee will also be investigated. Seniors Week event elected Council at the 18 December 2019 Council meeting.
Council will now seek funding to upgrade the current pool and will focus on works including installation of a disabled access compliant ramp to the main pool, modifying the existing access from the pool entry to meet Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements, construction of a unisex DDA compliant toilet/shower/

FOLLOWING last year’s successful Ageing with Grace seminar, St Andrews Anglican Church Tea Gardens is holding a similar event during NSW Seniors Week 2020 on Saturday 15 February 9.00am to 1.30pm..
Revd. Peter Adkins said, “The aim of the day is to serve our whole community by offering practical information to help people’s quality of life in their senior years.” Suggestions from last year’s seminar indicated people wanted advice about Wills and also about the changing nature of relationships in senior years.
Speakers who are experts in their fields will be addressing both those topics as well as others speaking on recognising serious health issues, engaging in meaningful activity in senior years and themes of hope and faith.
It will also be helpful for those who care for an older person.
q Revd. Peter Adkins is one of the speakers at the upcoming Ageing With Grace seminar.

Admission is free and lunch is included. “As we have one of the oldest age demographics here in Tea Gardens, we wanted to contribute to the community as part of Seniors Week with this event also being available to the wider community,” Revd. Adkins said.

MYALL COAST News Of The Area Let’s celebrate Seniors Festival 2020 MIDCOAST Council’s jam-packed program of events for the NSW Seniors Festival has something for everyone aged 60 and older across the region.
Officially the Festival runs from 12 to 23 February, but Council’s celebrations begin on 10 February with a tea bag making workshop at Forster Library, and a morning of reminiscing at Great Lakes Historical Museum. There are 30 events happening across the MidCoast including movie screenings at different Library locations, concerts, tai chi, yoga and meditation classes, a guided walking tour, behind the scenes tour of the Manning Entertainment Centre and the Manning Regional Art Gallery and more.
“Every year we put together a fantastic range of events to celebrate the NSW Seniors Festival and I’m really looking forward to our 2020 program,” said MidCoast Council Mayor, David West.
“With over half our population made up of seniors, it’s really important for us to organise fun, inclusive, social events for everyone to be able to get out and enjoy.” NSW Seniors Festival is the largest Festival for Seniors in the Southern Hemisphere and provides a great platform for people aged 60 years and over to make new friends, catch up with old ones and have a great time.
Events are held all across the State and include art, sport, music, entertainment, technology, recreation and more. “This year’s theme is ‘Love to celebrate’ and there’s certainly lots to celebrate on the MidCoast,” added Mayor West.
For a full listing of events happening across the region and for details on how to reserve your place, head to MidCoast Council’s event page on their website and search ‘seniors’. Programs are available to download at www. midcoast.nsw.gov.au/seniors, or pick one up at a MidCoast Council Library.

Mens Bowling Triples and Minor Pairs
Tea Gardens Mens Bowling By The JAFFA
29 January: The Wednesday Nominated Triples enjoyed another great turn out with 54 bowlers on the greens.
Each week we see new bowlers joining our Club and this week we saw some former players return to beautiful Tea Gardens.
Club membership now is honing in on the 100 mark and the Selectors for Pennants this year will have plenty to pick from as about 70% of the membership have nominated to participate.
The winners today were based on the morning game and on the grass, Gary Wynne, John Moore and Dave Benson were successful, whilst on the synthetic, Lance Atkins, Ron Green and Greg Pearson prevailed.
The Lucky losers were; Dave Garcia, Ron Rowe and Ross Barry.
1 February: The first round of the Club Minor Pairs competition was played today with conditions stifling hot and bordering on

There were a couple of forfeits but 3 games were played in the first round.
Bob Peady and Dave Benson had a comprehensive win over John Payne and Tony Coomer.
They won 26-11. Dennis Wilberforce and Garry Porter accounted for Graham Uff and Daryl Martin 16-10 and Col Saillard and Neil Kibble were far too strong for Col Walton and Peter Campbell, 35-3.
It was good to see that several new players trying their luck today.
It is by entering these competitions that their skill levels will be enhanced and that they know how much they need to improve. 2 February: The second round of the Club Minor Pairs competition was due to be played today with 8 teams competing.
The organisers bought the starting time forward to beat the heat, but in the end, the heat won with the competition being called off, with only a few ends played, when the mercury hit the red zone.
Some games have been re-scheduled for Wednesday and some for next Friday, weather permitting, so that the semi-finals can be played on Saturday and the finals next Sunday. It was to be the last time that Graham Kelly plays in our Club competitions as he leaves for Budgewoi mid-month.
Graham has been a real stalwart of the Club during his time here acting in several roles on the management committee that saw him awarded the prestigious, “Clubman of the Year” award.
Graham has also been active in Pennant competitions over the years and will be missed by all his mates at Tea Gardens. In other news: Nominations are still open for the Club Minor Singles competition commencing midFebruary.
Yet another opportunity for new players to improve their skills.

NEIGHBOURING FENCES “The fence between myself and my neighbour is falling down. It really needs replacing but my neighbour can’t afford to share the cost but is happy for me to erect a new fence. What are my options? I don’t want this to be a problem between us”
POLICE and Council records show the majority of disputes and callouts to be between neighbours and most likely over fence issues. So, if as the theme song goes, “good neighbours become good friends” it’s to everybody’s advantage to keep it that way! You do have options that will keep the peace – provided there’s clear communication between both parties from the outset. Firstly, you can legally issue a notice to comply which will obviously create tensions between you. So, if you can afford to, you might be quite happy to pay for the fence and know that you have a secure boundary that no doubt enhances your property. The security and peace of mind that provides may well override the cost issues. There is also another option that might be feasible. You could enter an arrangement with your neighbour, whereby you pay for the fence up front and your neighbour pays you back in agreed instalments over an agreed period. Yes, it could get messy, but I know of numerous instances where this has been done and worked well for both parties. An open dialogue about the options would be an excellent start.
I hope this helps Denise
