Local couple celebrate 60 years of wedded bliss

By John SAHYOUN

LATEST statistics indicate that 43 percent of marriages end in divorce, with many occurring in the first few years of marriage.

For Ros and Don Landsdowne this has certainly not been the case, with them celebrating their Diamond (60th) wedding anniversary with family and friends.

Meeting at a dance at Gosford, Ros remarked to a friend that she thought that Don was “a bit quiet for me”.

After a four year engagement they married and settled eventually in Bulahdelah in 1953 where they have resided ever since.

Don was a long time teacher at Bulahdelah Central School and Ros raised their three sons, who were all born in Bulahdelah and described by Ros and Don

as “beautiful”.

Their middle son Rodney told Myall Coast News Of The Area that his parents were wonderful and very supportive whilst they were growing up.

Ros commented that the most memorable thing about their marriage was “having someone to look after you and love you”.

“My advice for a long lasting marriage is do as your husband tells you,” laughed Ros.

always been the same and he always does as he is told,” Ros said.

“I’ve been very lucky and particularly since I’ve been sick he has been wonderful.

“We are very lucky to have each other as we are and had the same interests.”

Don said it has been a “wonderful life”.

“Just try to be together all the time and look after one another, I’m very lucky as he is a very kind and caring husband and he’s enjoyed every second,” said Ros.

“At times it looks like we are going to have a blue but it’s only a joke.”

Another highlight of their marriage was spending seven months in 1979 travelling around Australia.

“The kids hated it but I hadn’t travelled much so I

Death Certificate –

is the information correct?

by Cavelle Lindsay

A death certificate is an official document evidencing the death of a loved one, issued by Birth, Deaths and Marriages. It is an important document so you must take time and care when completing the application form.

It may be used to transfer joint bank accounts into the name of the surviving joint account holder, or it may be included in an application for probate by the executor of the estate. It may also be used for any claim for death benefits arising from a superannuation fund and life insurance policies held by the deceased.

The most common mistake we see is including or excluding a person on the form as a de facto partner. Some people do this without understanding the meaning of a de facto partner. Issues may then arise with banks, superannuation funds and life insurance agencies if the details on the death certificate are incorrect.

For example, if you have included a de facto partner on

the death certificate and he, she or they are not a de facto partner as recognised under the relevant legislation, and then an application is made for superannuation death benefits, a super fund will review the death certificate and if the deceased did not have a binding nomination, then the superannuation fund may contact the named de facto partner and ask them if he, she or they are considering making a claim for the death benefits. In the instance where the de facto partner is not a de facto partner as recognised by the legislation, this may cause issues with the superannuation fund paying any death benefits.

If you have recently received a death certificate and the details contained on the document are incorrect, please contact us and we can assist you with having this changed.

With three sons, five grandchildren, four great grandchildren and another one due in June, they are enjoying their extended family and life each day at a much slower pace.

We wish them the best for their continued years together.

influx of visitors for the first time in many years Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie told Myall Coast News Of The Area, “It’s a busy time this holiday season as many people make their way to our region to experience the great lifestyle we have here.

“For those who are travelling away, please take care, particularly on those busy roads in and around popular tourist spots.

“If you’re out in the water on a boat or swimming in the surf, make yourself

aware of the conditions and be safe,” he said.

With demands placed on seating, shade and especially parking, it is important to be patient and to be respectful of local conditions and laws.

An additional Council Ranger has been hired during the six week holiday period at Seal Rocks to monitor various parking issues within the roads in and around the village.

The best places to source local areas are the Visitor Information Centres and

‘pop-ups’ throughout the MidCoast Council region.

Team Leader of Destination Experience at MidCoast Council, Walt Stintson, told NOTA, “We are looking at using local knowledge and partnering up with them to deliver

local information to our travellers and we are also partnering with businesses.

“It’s only a trial so we’ll see how it goes and we are looking for more businesses to partner with and are specifically targeting tourism.

1,200 rescues recorded in single week over holiday period

BEACHGOERS are being urged to stick to patrolled beaches, after almost 1,200 rescues were recorded in a single week.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience Steph Cooke said Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) has recorded its busiest ever Christmas and New Year

period.

“In the space of just seven days between Christmas and the New Year, thousands of volunteer lifesavers performed 1,194 rescues, saving countless lives,” Ms Cooke said.

“NSW has been faced with three consecutive La Nina cycles and I know that

people are very keen to enjoy our beautiful beaches when the weather is right, but I want everyone to remember their trip to the beach for the right reasons.

“Every drowning is tragic and often preventable if simple precautions are taken, like swimming at patrolled

locations, between the flags, supervising children and not swimming under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”

SLSNSW CEO Steve Pearce said too many lives are lost at unpatrolled beaches.

“It’s the simplest thing you can do to stay safe

when you head to the beach, swim at one of the 129 patrolled locations along our State’s coastline, because if our lifesavers can’t see you, they can’t save you,” Mr Pearce said.

“Regardless of what you’re doing on the water, it’s absolutely vital that you check the conditions prior to heading out, understand the environment you are entering, understand

“We work closely with the Barrington Destination Management and Marketing team and it’s something we will build over time especially in terms of flow through traffic in areas such as Tea Gardens,” said Mr Stintson.

your own limitations and abilities, and ensure you are prepared should things go wrong.”

For the first time, this summer SLSNSW is temporarily relocating metropolitan-based volunteer lifesavers to regional locations to bolster patrolling capability.

Information about patrol times, weather and patrolled beach locations is available on the BeachSafe app or https://beachsafe. org.au/.

James and Cathriona hang up their paddles

AFTER more than ten years exploring the stunning Myall River by paddle power, and introducing countless visitors to the abundance of local wildlife, Ezy Kayaks Hawks Nest owners James and Cathriona Kelly have made the tough decision to step away from the business to focus on other pursuits.

“We've been very fortunate to live in this stunning location and also have the opportunity to share the beautiful Myall River with so many visitors to the area,” said James.

“We get many people that spent their vacations here as youngsters that are now bringing their children back to the area for that classic Australian holiday.

“With so many accommodation options from camping to motels and holiday houses, there is something for everyone and an eco-friendly kayak on the Myall River fits well with our natural environment.”

With Australians increasingly travelling domestically, Cathriona said she and James had welcomed many new people to the region who are newly

“One of the most rewarding aspects of operating the business has been giving children the opportunity to see dolphins in a natural setting.

“One five-year-old, after seeing the dolphins from a kayak, asked us: 'Who trains the Dolphins?', which was an interesting insight as they had previously only seen these magnificent creatures in a captive environment.”

James said the decision to step away from the business comes with mixed feelings.

“I will miss the opportunity to introduce people to the spectacular area but on a positive side, having more time for other pursuits is now a focus for both of us.”

“In light of the recent floods and fires that have affected the MidCoast region, we want to build resilience and preparedness in our community,” said Alex Mills, MidCoast Council’s Manager Libraries and Community Services.

“These free workshops are a valuable opportunity for our residents to discuss their

finances and ask questions.”

Sessions will be held at Tea Gardens Library, 20 January, from 10am -11am and Stroud Library, 20 January, 1.30pm -2.30pm.

Although the workshops are free, bookings are essential.

PARENTS are bracing for a back-to-school budget bust, according to new research by comparison site Finder which found that school supplies alone are expected to cost families a whopping $2.6 billion for the year ahead.

A fresh set of school supplies – complete with textbooks, stationery and a uniform – will set parents back an average of $571 for primary school children and $771 for secondary students.

When other costs –like tuition fees, uniforms, technology, camps, excursions, sporting and musical equipment and transport costs – are taken into account, this jumps to

a national spend of $11.4 billion.

That’s $2,325 for each primary school child and $4,212 for secondary students on average.

According to Finder’s Parenting Report 2022, which surveyed 1,032 Aussie parents of children under twelve, seventeen percent of Aussie parents are contemplating moving their child from a private school to a public school to reduce their expenses.

A further ten percent of families have already made the switch to a public school as living costs skyrocket.

Sarah Megginson, mother-of-three and money expert at Finder, said the back to school costs are

significant.

“With the cost of living continuing to skyrocket, many parents will struggle to afford the necessary supplies, clothing, and technology for their children.

“Some families are forced to make difficult decisions about which supplies to buy and which to go without.

“Many will reach breaking point as rising fuel and food costs, Christmas debt hangover and back to school costs collide.”

Tuition fees and voluntary school contributions tend to be the biggest expense, costing parents on average anywhere between $204 for

a public primary school to $10,662 for an independent secondary school, adding up to a national spend of $3.4 billion.

Other hidden expenses include camps, costing primary students $312 per year and secondary students $443 per year on average, and transport to and from school, costing $512 and $610 respectively.

“If you know about a $300 camp or $500 trip to Canberra in advance, you can start putting away a small amount of money each week to help pay for it well before the invoice is due.

“To help ease the overall financial burden, talk to your school about potential payment plans.

“My kids go to a public school and we pay $250300 per year, per student, for school supplies.

“We have the option to pay this in a lump sum, or pay it off in installments over time,” Megginson said.

Devices like laptops and tablets, while not used in all schools, also come at a steep price.

Finder research found that 30 percent of students are required to have a device.

Those parents can expect to pay $496 per year on devices in primary school, and $787 in secondary school, according to research from the Futurity Investment Group.

Megginson said there

are ways families can trim the back-to-school bill.

“Start shopping early and look out for back to school sales.

“This can save you hundreds of dollars over the year, especially on pricey items like laptops.

“Savvy families could save money by sourcing second-hand items, and you may be able to borrow or rent devices from the school.

“Look for second-hand uniforms at the uniform shop, and when school begins, ask about the planned excursions and camps coming up for the year ahead,” Megginson said.

Exploring the fascinating origins and benefits of U3A

JEAN Lewis, the local University of the Third Age (U3A) Network Regional Rep, spoke recently about the origins of the U3A and summarised the benefits of membership according to research undertaken by Dr Martin Bridgstock, a senior lecturer in the School of Biomolecular and Physical Sciences at Griffith University, Brisbane.

“His paper, examining the benefits to the health and welfare of the members of the Universities of the Third Age (U3A), gratifyingly confirms everything of which we, as U3A members, have already been aware,” said Annie Rutter, Myall U3A.

According to Dr Bridgstock’s findings, “Confirmed by many pieces of research the three

types of activity offered by Universities of the Third Age – learning, physical activity, and social ties – all have marked benefits for participants.

“They all have measurable positive impacts upon cognitive and other mental functions and help to stave off the degeneration often associated with advancing years.

“The main qualification is that mentally stimulating learning may be somewhat narrow in its effects.”

Dr Bridstock found that while all types of learning have benefits, it is best to pursue a range of learning activities which stimulate different abilities.

“In addition, physical and social activities are also beneficial.

Enjoying the region’s world class National Parks

By Marian SAMPSON

THE Myall Coast and Port Stephens is home to an array of stunning and wild scenery, including the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park and the incredible Mungo Brush and Myall Lakes National Parks.

This summer regional NSW can expect an influx of visitors from Sydney, ready to step out of the city and into one of 890 national parks and reserves around the state which offer a diverse range of accommodation options and activities for all ages and abilities.

Visitors to one of the Myall Coast region’s National Parks can expect to find some of the most beautiful pristine environments left on the NSW coast.

Apart from seeing dingoes up close in Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens townships, visitors may also spot kangaroos, wallabies and even koalas all within close proximity to accommodation options.

Visitors are reminded, if they are seeking out a dingo encounter, to keep children close to an adult at all times and not to feed the dingoes.

For those venturing out on the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park there is a wide array of birdlife, dolphins, seals, fish and even the odd shark to be seen in the region.

NSW Environment Minister James Griffin said families are spoilt for choice during these school holidays, with a huge range

of spectacular landscapes to explore.

“There’s no better way to wind down from a busy year and wear the kids out during school holidays than by getting into nature in a national park,” Mr Griffin said.

“Whether you’re looking for a day trip or a multiday adventure, we have hundreds of national parks and reserves to choose from, offering a range of accommodation options and activities for explorers young and old.

“National parks have

THE Regional Australia Institute (RAI) says increasing overseas migration will be vital to the growth and sustainability of regional Australia following the release of the 2022 Population Statement last Friday from the Centre for Population.

RAI CEO, Liz Ritchie, welcomes the government’s focus on immigration and cited a renewed call to establish a national population plan in its recent submission to the Department of Home Affairs’ review of migration systems.

“The 2022 Population Statement projects in 202223 that less than seventeen percent of net overseas migration will flow to regional Australia,” Ms Ritchie said.

“Regional Australia deserves a far greater share of Australia’s biggest driver of population growth.

“At a time when our regional cities and towns are crying out for skills and labour, reaching a record of over 96,000 job vacancies in late 2022, we need to be collectively looking at the systems and processes supporting migrants, so we

have more calling regional Australia home.

“Migration will be critical to the growth and sustainability of regional Australia over the next decade,” she said.

RAI say 2021 Census data shows that overseas born migrants are not opposed to living outside of metropolitan areas if they have the information and support to do so.

Between 2016 and 2021 Census periods, 70 percent of the 254 local government areas that saw an increase in population in both Australian

and overseas born residents, were in regional areas.

Census data also shows that migrants are helping to buffer the population decline in some regional communities.

Between 2016 and 2021, 103 regional LGAs had their Australian population decline while their overseas population rose.

In RAI’s submission to the Department of Home Affairs’ review into migration systems, greater support of migrants to settle in regional Australia was highlighted as key to attracting and maintaining overseas populations in the regions.

“Demand to live in

regional Australia is not the issue,” Ms Ritchie said.

Migrants key to growth and sustainability of regional Australia

“To have more migrants living in regional Australia, we need to provide further awareness about job opportunities, including job support services, and ensure we have communities with enough housing and critical soft and hard infrastructure.

“We need to take a holistic view of the various factors impacting Australia’s migrant population.

“Population planning, jobs, access to housing – are all interlinked,” she said.

RAI used ten years of research to create the Regionalisation 2032 Ambition, a set of 20

targets across five pillars – Population, Jobs & Skills, Liveability, Productivity & Innovation and Sustainability & Resilience.

The Ambition sets a target to double overseas migrants living in regional Australia to 40 percent.

“They not only keep vibrant communities growing, but they help balance aging populations in some communities.

“Importantly migrants can bring the skills and labour that regional Australia desperately needs, while living the good life in their new country,” Ms Ritchie said.

Busiest year on record for Australian Red Cross Emergency Services in NSW

2022 was the Australian Red Cross’ busiest year on record for its Emergency Services teams based in NSW, with the service activated for 262 days.

Red Cross’ NSW Director, Kate Miranda, said staff and volunteers across the state have been supporting people impacted by floods since February.

“Since the start of the Northern Rivers floods on 27 February to when the Moulamein Recovery Assistance Point closed on

20 December, we had just 36 days we were not responding to a disaster,” Ms Miranda said.

This year, Red Cross Emergency Services staff and volunteers have supported people in the Northern Rivers, Murray Riverina, Central West, Far West, Central Coast, Hunter, Hawkesbury and Sydney.

In 2022, Red Cross had 25 Emergency Services staff coordinating 373 volunteers activated in 171 evacuation centres and recovery hubs,

providing more than 8,000 voluntary hours of service.

Volunteers are continuing to provide outreach support services in Eugowra and the Northern Rivers.

Psychological first aid was also provided to 29,000 people and a total of 34,000 people impacted by natural disasters were supported.

“Almost a year of flood events across much of the state has come on top of COVID-19 and the 2019-20 Summer Bushfires.

“Thousands of people

have experienced three years of compounding disasters. It’s taking a toll on people’s mental health,” Ms Miranda said.

Red Cross is one of four NSW Government partner organisations providing support services to people impacted by disasters.

“Our role is to support people through a crisis.

“We are present in evacuation centres providing psychological first aid.

“Our Emergency Services volunteers are trained in

psychological first aid to provide immediate support to people experiencing trauma,” Ms Miranda said.

Many Red Cross volunteers helped others in evacuation and recovery centres even though their own houses were damaged by flooding.

“Our NSW Emergency Services Team is made up of 36 paid staff and more than 1,200 volunteers all trained in emergency response and psychological first aid.

“We rely on the generosity

of the public and corporate partners to fund our work to help communities prepare, respond and recover from natural disasters – and to recruit and train volunteers,” Ms Miranda said.

If you would like to support Red Cross to continue responding to the increasing number of emergency and disaster events, you can either make a donation at redcross. org.au/donation/disasterresponse-and-recovery/ or sign up to become a NSW Red Cross Emergency Services volunteer by emailing nswemergencyservices@ redcross.org.au.

On theCouch

DEAR Jasminda,

My husband has decided to embrace personal growth, and I don't mean getting out in nature or reading an inspiring book.

He's letting his hair grow (nostrils, ears, etc.).

I'm not enjoying it.

Dear Deanne,

Deanne P.

WE all have personal tastes when it comes to levels of hairiness.

Some like themselves and their partners freshly shorn with no hair visible on any body part.

Others decide to denude certain parts of their body so navigating them is like traversing a path in an otherwise overgrown forest.

Issues with Jimmys Beach Sand Transfer System

DEAR News Of The Area,

THANKS to Col Nicholson (Myall Coast NOTA January 5, 2023) for his considered and thoughtful response to MidCoast Council’s recent statement about sand renourishment of Jimmys Beach.

The “problem” with the Sand Transfer System began when Council approved the change in the design of the sand feed system from a simple system with a sand feed hopper fed by a mechanical loader, to the Jet-Flow Pump system - without any apparent analysis of the relative establishment and operating costs.

The “problem” was further exacerbated when Council neglected to provide an operator to be trained to operate the system.

The STS has only operated twice, each time by the contractor who built it.

The initial run was in July 2019 when it was commissioned and the second time in June 2021, when the contractor was re-

The Mankad

an unfair advantage by leaving the crease before the ball has been delivered is both fair and legal,” Germon said.

“There are no two ways about it, and we want our players, match officials and volunteers to know that they have our full support in upholding the laws of cricket, in this and every other instance.

“The pressure placed on match officials, most of whom are wonderful volunteers, to deal with something that evokes so much emotion is unnecessary.

“The law is clear and we want the officials to feel supported in knowing that and not be pressured by an outdated school of thought.

“Journalist Greg Baum today wrote, ‘If anything, it is the non-striker who comes nearer to infringing the spirit of cricket in a Mankad. He’s daring the law. The bowler is upholding it’ and I couldn’t agree more.”

Germon also said the term Mankading needed to be removed from cricket lexicon.

“It has been 75-years since Vinoo

If the STS had been operated as intended, and deposited sand to the proper profile, it would have provided proper protection for Council assets (the road and services) and provided a usable beach for visitors to enjoy.

Sadly, as pointed out by Col Nicholson, it is not a “permanent” solution - continual renourishment will be required - but done properly, adequate protection will be provided at a significantly lower cost than the “hard options”, such as a sea wall, groynes and off-shore reefs.

It should also be noted that Council engaged a consultant to review the operation of the STS early last year.

The report was provided to Council in August 2022 but, to date, Council has only released a heavily redacted version of the report.

Regards, Richard STREAMER, President, Winda Woppa Preservation Association Inc.

Others, and I fear your husband falls into this camp, refuse to tamper with nature with a live and let live motto that's endearing if you like that sort of thing, and just another chore if your hirsute partner sheds in bathtubs, sinks and on furniture and you spend your time wondering if you married an Alaskan Malamute. The whole hipster movement has a lot to answer for with those thick beards that look as though they have tried and failed to swallow a bushy-tailed woodrat.

You coud try to mimic his new resolution and see if he enjoys a wife with hairy legs and armpits, or you could offer some subtle grooming suggestions or gifts such as a manscaping kit complete with nose and ear trimmer.

Hair in the nostrils and ears does serve a function by keeping dust and debris out of those cavities, but it doesn't need to protrude.

If he remains adamant, perhaps you could give him a quick groom while he's asleep.

Just don't slip or you'll have a whole new set of issues to deal with.

Mankad twice ran out Australian Bill Brown, drawing the ire of some in the game,” Germon said.

“Mankad has been vilified ever since, but for what?

“He carried out a legitimate act to dismiss a batter who was trying to gain an unfair advantage.

“Even the great Sir Donald Bradman has said there was nothing wrong with what Vinoo Mankad did.

“We now know this also conjures up a negative experience for many people and cricketers of Indian heritage.

“It is unfair and needs to stop.

“If I refer again to Greg Baum, he wrote, ‘Mankading needs to be accepted as one of many right ways to play cricket. To destigmatise it, it might help to depersonalise it.’

“I hope we can all be better in this area moving forward, inspiring more people to play and love cricket.”

Germon said that while CNSW was very cognisant of helping volunteer officials, it was also time to use technology available to match officials at the elite level.

“One of our great NSW and Australian cricketers, Mitchell Starc, has been vocal about the use of technology to monitor whether non-strikers remain in their crease and it’s hard to argue with that logic,” Germon said.

“If we are able to use technology to take further pressure off the umpires and indeed the players, then I am all for it.”

READING by Lynne Miles: Luke 2: 39 "When they (Joseph and Mary) had performed everything according to the law of the land, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth."

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

FRIDAY

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING

SEVEN, 8.30pm

Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy gave movie fans one of the most thoroughly engrossing spectacles ever to have graced a cinema. Picking up from The Two Towers, The Return of the King sees the original Fellowship still fractured, with Frodo (Elijah Wood, above), Sam (Sean Astin) and duplicitous Gollum (Andy Serkis) making their way to Mount Doom. Meanwhile, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) tries to thwart Gondor’s senile wannabe king (John Noble), while king-proper Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) tries to raise an evil-smiting army.

FRIDAY THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE

SBS VICELAND, 9.20pm

Can love blossom if you don’t speak the same language? That’s the question posed by this acharming bilingual dating experiment in which British and Spanish singletons pair up at an estate in Andalucia to see if they can find romance despite not being able to understand each other. In tonight’s finale, the loved-up Brits must make their decision. Will they stay in Spain and commit to a long-term relationship with their new partner? Or will they instead return to their old life in the UK? With the considerable hurdles of family, careers and even intimacy still to overcome, there’s a lot at stake.

Hosted by Davina McCall.

The statistics are devastating: at risk of homelessness. This emotional documentary from director Sue Thomson (The Coming Back Out ) reveals the faces behind these alarming numbers. Narrated by homegrown Hollywood star Margot Robbie, it’s a compelling, heartbreaking insight into the often secret lives of a diverse group of 10 women from around Australia. Shattering myths and misconceptions of homelessness, it opens viewers’ eyes to life’s complications and how society has let these women down.
