THE Myall Lakes Aquatic Club is donating $4235 to remove the leaning poles from the Tea Gardens public wharf, recently named “Ability”. The upgrade of the floating wharf with new rear supporting poles has resulted in the front leaning poles being no longer required. “The removal of the poles will improve the safety and accessibility of this popular public wharf,” stated Vice Commodore Kerry (Mac) McIntosh who has been a member of the Myall Lakes Aquatic Club for over 20 years.

As well as having safe social fun on the local waterways, the Club lobbies government and sources funding to help maintain marine infrastructure throughout the Myall Lakes system. “One of our objectives is to improve the mooring ability of the wharves as well as maintaining the public moorings throughout the Myall Lake System,” said Paul Bendy, the Club Treasurer. The removal work will be completed by a professional dive team who will clear the leaning poles right down the seabed. The poles will then be reutilised by NSW Parks and Wildlife in the Myall Lakes National Park. Paul affirmed that, “The Club has a great relationship with NSW Parks and Wildlife.

DEPUTY Captain of Pindimar/Tea Gardens Rural Fire Brigade, Noel Quince, shared with News Of The Area some ‘hot tips’ to help locals prepare for this year’s bushfire season. “Our immediate area dodged a bullet last season,” Mr Quince said. “We do have a significant amount of area

that could potentially burn.” “The Brigade has a number of burns already in the pipeline, but that’s of course dependent on weather conditions and availability of our members.” Mr Quince advised that households should have an up-to-date bushfire survival plan that every member of the family is aware of. “Don’t forget your animals,” he said. “You need to know what to take and what to leave in the case of an emergency – don’t leave this to be decided on the day.” Mr Quince also said that preparing your home is key to being fire-safe. “Make sure to keep lawns and gardens maintained, clean out your gutters, and cut back overhanging branches” he said. “You also need a hose that will reach all the way around the house.” “Ember attacks are very prevalent in the case of a fire.” It’s also helpful to have the ‘Fires Near Me’ app downloaded, and to ensure that a fire truck can easily and safely access your home, should the need arise. Mr Quince continued that if your home is not defendable, prepare to leave early. “Remember that property can be replaced – lives cannot,” he said. “There will never be as many fire trucks as there are houses, so having locals be prepared goes a long way in helping us to do our job as best as possible.” The Brigade will be holding a Get Ready For Bushfire event on Saturday 19 September from 8am to 1pm at Pindimar South Reserve. Everyone is encouraged to drop in and discuss their fire-safe plans.

2020, officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Police District were called to Jimmys Beach at Hawks Nest, after receiving numerous reports a nude man was walking along the beach. Officers attended and provided the man with a blanket, before he was arrested and taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station. The man’s belongings were located on the beach and following a search of the items, police seized LSD, MDMA and Viagra from a bag. The 51-year-old Killara man was charged with wilful and obscene exposure in a public place, carry out a sexual act with another without consent, two counts of possessing prohibited drugs, supplying prohibited drugs and goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen.

Dredging nearing completion Midcoast Council’s $1.7m dredging project is nearing completion, with Coastal Management Coordinator Andrew Staniland saying that they anticipate the works to be finished by mid-October.

By Ashley CHRYSLER

MIDCOAST Council’s $1.7m dredging project is nearing completion, with Coastal Management Coordinator Andrew Staniland saying that they anticipate the works to be finished by mid-October. “[The] dredging operation at Hawks Nest is now three quarters of the way through with optimal conditions allowing the project to run smoothly throughout August,” said Mr Staniland. Council’s contractor – Dredging Solutions – recently completed the renourishment phase of Jimmy’s Beach. “More than 20,000 cubic metres of sand was piped onto the beach, earlier than originally planned, to help repair the eroded beach following June and July’s East Coast Low,” Mr Staniland said. “Dredging conditions remained favourable throughout August with the project now slightly ahead of schedule.” “The contractors have 31,000 cubic metres of sand still to dredge to complete the project, and anticipate finishing up

around mid-October,” he said. Gordon Grainger from the Myall River Action Group said that the group is very pleased with the campaign to-date and that they will attain a greater result than the last campaign in 2015. “It is hoped that they will also be able to move a large amount of sand from the south of the area they are working,” said Mr Grainger. “The opening of the entrance to oceanic water improves the health of the river and with it the return of fish species

The 27-week project has seen 90,000 cubic metres of sand removed from the Eastern Channel of the Lower Myall River to-date. Completion of the project will also allow boat users to more easily navigate through the eastern channel.

Judge Hallen in Harris v Carter [2020] NSWSC 196 found that a 14 year old High School student had received sufficient provision from his father’s death when he inherited funds from his father’s superannuation together with an amount (gifted in the Will) equivalent to child support obligations up until his son reached 18 years of age. The student son brought a claim (using a person to take legal action on his behalf) arguing that his father should have left him a greater provision in his Will. The father had never had anything to do with his son. He had only a brief relationship with the son’s mother. He left most of his estate to his parents. The Judge

www.newsofthearea.com.au

determined that because the son received significant superannuation funds as a result of his father’s death, in this particular case, he was not entitled to any more funds and he dismissed the claim. As a general principle, however, it was noted that a parent’s responsibility for bringing a child into the world leads to the assumption of a duty to be concerned for the child’s welfare which in turn may entitle the child to make a claim if left out of a Will and this is the case even in extreme cases where the parent did not know of the birth of the child.

A Karuah love story

A Ted Mowbray story By Marian SAMPSON

c NOTA Graphics - PSLA2017_170920

THERE’s a saying amongst fishermen. 95 percent of the fish are caught by five percent of the fishermen. Edward ‘Ted’ Mowbray from the Myall Coast fell into that lucky five percent. Ted Mowbray sadly passed away this year. Ted was a generous soul

who spent much of his life fishing, and teaching others how to fish. Those who knew Ted, knew a man with a passion for fishing. Ted was also very generous with his catch, sharing with locals, neighbours and the elderly in the community. He had his favourite spots, places where he went for the elusive Jew Fish near the singing

bridge. While many a fisherman is left having to tell tall tales, Ted was able to tell true stories about the six foot “Jewy” that he landed locally. Graham Easter wrote a tribute to Ted, it stated, “I returned to Hawks Nest eleven years ago, I thought I could fish, but Ted taught me how to fish, and now I can call myself a

fisherman.” Ted would say, “The fish don’t read fishing books, I fish how I catch fish”. He was a believer in fishing alongside weeds and believed that most fish are caught close to the shoreline. When it came to measuring a fish, Ted tended to base a catch on whether there was a good fillet on either side rather than a length. Graham, who considers himself one of Ted’s apprentices, remembers Ted as a true gentleman and fishing icon from the region, someone who was always happy to have a chat about fishing and what was biting. Ted didn’t know everyone that he saw when he was out fishing but the local fishermen all knew who Ted was. This is one fisherman who will be remembered when the catch is landed for many years to come.

That’s because of my work in the bush as a timber cutter. “There were stinking hot days where I would be cutting and barking pit props and Carol would be right there with me, swinging an axe and getting the job done,” said Dallas. “I didn’t mind working hard,” Carol said.

“I USED to drive her brothers to the football games and she used to sit in the back of the car. “She was so shy that I was surprised when I first heard her voice,” said Dallas Callaghan of Karuah about the first time he asked Carol Ridgeway out. That was way back in 1959. Carol lived on Karuah Mission with her family and Dallas lived three kilometres up the road on a remote acreage with his thirteen brothers and sisters.

On September 17, the couple will be celebrating 60 years of marriage. “I can still remember our wedding day. It only seems like yesterday,” Carol said. “How quickly the time has gone”’ Listening to the story of what has happened over the 60 years is, as you would expect, a tale of inspiring highs and lows. Highs revolve around family; including five children, fourteen grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. The couples biggest low was the loss of their youngest son Billy in 2016. “I think the secret to marriage is to do things together,” said Dallas,

at Dallas with a smile. “Sometimes we get on each other’s nerves but I never get sick of waking up with him by my side.” Dallas looks away in embarrassment but it is obvious he feels the same. “And enjoying simple things together,” Carol continued. “I think that has been a good thing as well. Yesterday we went fishing and as usual, I caught the most fish,” said Carol laughing. “She always catches the most fish,” Dallas said, flashing a cheeky smile. “She might catch the most fish but when we married, I reckon I got the best catch.” Carol shakes her head and the love and affection they still share is obvious, and inspiring.

MidCoast pulls together to ‘Get Ready’ MIDCOAST Council is encouraging families and neighbours to pull together to prepare for bushfire season and to start a broader conversation about being prepared for all hazards, kicking off with NSW RFS Get Ready Weekend on 19-20 September. “The 2019/20 bushfire season was the most devastating bushfire season in NSW and MidCoast regional history. We have seen our community really pull together to help each other recover from the impact of these fires, and that is ongoing,” said Mayor David West. “I am sure that as a community, and as individuals, we will all make an extra effort this year, to ensure everyone is prepared and has a bushfire emergency plan.” Make sure you note Get Ready Weekend on the calendar on 19 – 20

September, and help each other get ready. Local NSW RFS brigades will be throwing their doors open, or holding events to help you find information and Get Ready for the bushfire season ahead. For more information on your local brigade event, and to get started on preparing for the season ahead, visit m i d c o a s t . n s w. g o v. a u / getready. The MidCoast emergency hub, at www.midcoast. nsw.gov.au/emergency has information to help MidCoast residents plan and prepare for a range of hazards, and be disaster ready. While the focus for ‘Get Ready’ is on being prepared for future fire events, we know that many on the MidCoast are still recovering from the tragic impacts of the Black Summer fires which swept through our region in November last year.

R U OK

There's more to it than asking “R U OK?”

By Marian SAMPSON

q The residents and staff at Latitude One got into the spirit of R U OK Day - Felicity Hamilton was the mustard.

THERE’s more to it than asking “R U OK?” R U OK day is the day when we are encouraged to check in on our mates. But asking the question means you have to be ready to hear that someone is not OK. Each and every one of us has more happening this year due to COVID-19 and more of us will feel at times that things are not OK. In our community we have families separated by closed state borders. We have servicemen and women away from their families deployed overseas.

We have a vulnerable population of elderly. Our children have not had a normal year at school and this is particularly hard for those students sitting their HSC after a year of interrupted studies. A year ago we lived with much more confidence, the economy was strong, life was good pre COVID-19. Now we live with a level of uncertainty. Is my job or income secure? Will we get a vaccine? When will the borders open domestically and internationally? How will Australia and China trade with each other

enough. “People will respond they are okay, but you need to go back (and check in) three, four, five, six times before they will say ‘you know what, I could do with a hand.’” Don and Cheryl have shared their inspiring story of resilience, recovery and rebuilding their home with in the future? What new markets will we open to fill the gap that tensions with China are creating? There are so many questions and at this stage not many answers. This makes knowing how to respond to a negative response to R U OK even more important. R U OK's 2019 national omnibus survey revealed that approximately twothirds of people (63%) are not confident they know the signs that someone might be struggling with life. It also showed that 41% hadn’t asked someone if they were OK because they weren’t sure they knew the signs. At Latitude One residents celebrated R U OK Day in yellow, the colour of hope. Felicity Hamilton of Latitude One told News Of The Area, “Some of the

residents here have not seen family this year and we wanted to shine the light so we held a BBQ to recognise R U OK Day. “We are not just the management here, we are always here ready to listen and support the Latitude One community,” she said. The signs appear in what people are saying, doing and what is happening in their life. If you think someone is not OK, start a conversation, take the time to listen and importantly encourage action.

Free gum trees By Ashley CHRYSLER THE Myall Koala and Environment Group (MKEG) has more than 200 Dwarf Parramatta Red Gum trees to give away for free planting in the community. MidCoast Council supplies the gums every year for the annual Myall River Festival tree giveaway, but due to COVID-19, the festival has been cancelled for 2020. MKEG publicist officer Adrienne Ingram, said that the trees are vitally important to conserving koala habitat in our region. “The trees are being cut down and the number lost due to the recent bushfires and drought is substantial,” said Ms Ingram. “The trees we’re giving away are easy to grow, not too big for the average home or property, and the koalas love them.” The free gum trees can be picked up from Woody’s

Building and Garden Centre in Tea Gardens from Saturday 19 September, or from MKEG president Jill Madden (0418 236 582), also in Tea Gardens. Loren from Woody’s Building and Garden Centre said, “We were approached by the Myall Koala and Environment Group to see if we could help hand out their trees, and were more than happy to help them and their volunteers at our nursery.” “We ask everyone attending the nursery to please adhere to social distancing guidelines and signage on-site,” she said. “There will also be hand sanitiser available. “Hopefully it will be a successful weekend, as it’s a great cause,” she said. Instructions for how to plant and care for the trees will be included with pick up. There are no limits on the number of trees you can collect, but supplies are limited.

Turtle rescued causes group fuss By Marian SAMPSON ALLY is a green sea turtle who was rescued this week by a spear fisherman. The injured turtle is now in the care of the not for profit organisation Seashelter at Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters. Ryan Pereira is the Marine Biologist at Irukandji who is coordinating the care of Ally. Vets have volunteered their time and expertise to assist the sea turtle who has an injured flipper. It appears that Ally may have been caught and entangled in a fishing line. Seashelter assists and rescues marine animals in need from Newcastle to as far north as Byron Bay if there is a need. For marine animals south of Newcastle the team at Taronga Zoo is available.

49827474

If the care becomes complex for Ally she will be transferred to Taronga Zoo by car. Ryan Pereira told News Of The Area, “The turtle has been accessed by the vet and will undergo some freshwater baths to remove the algae that has grown on her shell.” The shell isn’t scrubbed to remove the build up which is a symptom of the fact she isn’t well, as she would feel the cleaning process which would potentially cause Ally more stress. The positive news is that Ally is now eating and it is hoped that she will make a full recovery. While for many creatures in care minimising human contact is an issue, this is not true for turtles who do not appear to form any attachments. Once the wounds on

Ally’s flipper heal and she is well, she will be released back into the wild. “It is important to report any injured animal to National Parks, or Seashelter,” he said. Irukandji has other animals in care and some that have found a new home as they are not able to be released. The overall goal for any animal that is injured or sick, that is cared for at Seashelter, is for it to be released back into the wild. Seashelter relies entirely on support from volunteers and the community and the facilities and team at Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters. q Ally in her isolation tank at Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters.

VIEW Club is back By Ashley CHRYSLER

THE Myall River VIEW Club has welcomed back seven of its members at its first committee meeting since activities were suspended due to COVID-19 four months ago. On the agenda was planning for October’s meeting with members, which they hope to hold as a social lunch at the Winda Woppa park, restrictions and weather permitting. Though social distancing and restrictions have made it challenging for VIEW Club meetings, members have managed to maintain their connections, through informal events such as online fundraisers and making the effort to stay in touch remotely. The VIEW Club sponsors children as part of The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program. Members organised remote raffles and donations

to ensure that these students never missed out on the funding they needed for their educations. “2020 has been one of the most disruptive years in these students’ lives,” said AnneLouise O’Connor, national president of VIEW. “It’s a testament to VIEW Clubs everywhere that they remained committed to the education of their sponsored children.” “VIEW is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary – with the theme of 60 years of strength and support,” she said. “This message is reflected in the way that VIEW members have remained connected during these unprecedented and challenging times – caring about each other as well as the students they support through The Smith Family.” VIEW is a leading women’s national organisation, and the largest community supporter of children’s education

Learning CPR and other life saving first aid techniques is something we can all do and it could just save the life of someone we love. St Johns Ambulance was founded in Melbourne in 1883. Twenty years later the First Brigade Unit started in Sydney, where volunteers offered first aid assistance to the public. Stephen Rafter is the St John Ambulance NSW Region Coordinator told News Of The Area, “The most important thing everyone should know is CPR. “You never know when someone is going to have a sudden cardiac arrest – age

isn’t a factor.” He believes that knowing CPR is especially critical, particularly in Australia where swimming is one of our favourite pastimes. “We are on a mission at least one person in every household and business and at every gathering is confident in first aid skills. “St Johns Ambulance still train and recommend where willing and able to give breaths during CPR, but the compressions are the most important thing. “There is an entire top 40 list of songs that have the staying alive beat,” he said. CPR is good but using a defibrillator is better. There are current grants available for sports groups to buy defibrillators. They are easy to use, with verbal instructions and the use of a defibrillator increases the chance of survival from around 9% to close to 70%.

“Defibrillators being available make a massive difference,” said Mr Rafter. It is also important to know general first aid, how to manage bleeding, clean a wound and deal with events like anaphylaxis. St Johns Ambulance offer First Aid training and also offer a range of first aid kits to meet various workplace and lifestyle requirements. Participating in a first aid course adds a positive to your resume and gives you the confidence to apply first aid if you are the first person available to render assistance. “If you complete a First Aid Course at St Johns Ambulance you are able to purchase a discount kit on the day, providing you with the skills you need and the tools to respond to a medical emergency.

Happy campers are optomistic and energised By Marian SAMPSON FOR those that camp, the results of the Real Richness Report is no surprise. Campers are literally ‘happy campers’. The Real Richness Report found campers are happier, more satisfied, optimistic and energised than noncampers. It also found that campers are significantly less stressed, bored, lonely and frustrated than noncampers. There are plenty of great camping options in and

around the region, including Stockton Beach, Mungo Brush and the Native Dog Campground near Coffs Harbour. The report found that not only do trips make campers happier, they also give people an opportunity to connect with themselves and find their grounding, with 53% of women and 44% of men strongly agreeing that camping trips enabled them to gather their thoughts. In fact the report findings show us that one thing we can do to help to look after our mental health and wellbeing,

is to take a camping holiday. Research from Caravan Industry Association of Australia has found caravan and camping trips can bring a number of benefits to our lives. Camping trips are also proven to bring you closer to loved ones and give you time away from modern distractions, out in the natural environment allowing us to reset. The report also found that children also get wonderful benefits out of taking camping trips, with 93% of campers believing that camping brings families closer together, 94%

believing that it teaches children to engage socially and 86% believing that it improves children’s health. If COVID-19 is making you feel stressed perhaps taking a caravan or camping trip is the answer. Respondents of the survey also revealed 96% of campers believe that camping can make you happier and 95% of campers believe that camping reduces stress. Local mum Chontelle Grecian loves to go camping with her family of three kids. She told News Of The Area, “We have been camping since my daughter

was 11 months old with a trip to Fraser Island and we have also taken the kids to Moreton Island.” “The family is planning an eight week trip in a caravan to Cairns and far north Queensland providing border restrictions ease,” she said. Kerri Rodley is also an avid camper; she and her husband tow a camping trailer behind their motorbike. Kerri is a wellness practitioner who believes that camping enhances sleep quality as you go to bed early when it is dark, and wake up early when it is light, the way

Camping is proven to have health benefits.

your body is supposed to. Our region is full of grey nomads who enjoy the benefits of hitting the road and caravanning too, proving you are never too old to enjoy life. While taking a shovel for a walk isn’t everyone’s idea of a great escape, for some it can’t be beaten. For those who prefer a bit more comfort there are more modern and sophisticated camping options available, like luxury caravans and glamping, which can still provide the mental health benefits of a short break while enjoying the great outdoors.

Tea Gardens Men’s Bowling Club News By John SLATER 8 SEPTEMBER Nominated Triples today attracted 44 players although the weather conditions were not favourable. We welcomed a new member today, Doug Webber. With rain threatening, play was reduced to one game of 18 ends. Most teams completed 12 ends before the wind and rain set in and play ended. On the grass the winners, yet again, were Vic Garlick, Col Fossey and Bill Heylbut on 13 points. On the synthetic also on 13 points and on countback, Gary Wynne and John Moore won the money. The Myall Bistro voucher went to Col Cameron. Thanks to the Myall Bistro for their continued support. 13 September The quarter-final matches for the Club Championship Triples was played today with

some interesting results. In a game I’m sure some would like to forget, Len Baker, Doug Naylor and Alan Greenhalgh demolished Gary Wynne, John Moore and Dave Benson 41 – 6. In a close one, favorites for the title, Peter Gurney, Greg Pearson and Jeff Baker lost in a tight game to Mark Hair, Ron Webster and Stu Dorahy, 21-24. In another close match, Doug Andrews, Geoff Muggleton and Dennis Ashbridge def Barry Goode, Mark Nightingale and Anthony Grant 19 – 16. In the remaining game it went down to the last bowl on the last end for Bill Baillie, Peter Cheney and John Slater to win by one shot over Geoff Page, Vic Garlick and Bill Heylbut 16 – 15. 14 September The semi-finals of the Club Championship Triples were played today in conditions favorable to players. Two very tight matches were played with only one-shot margins separating the winners. Len Baker, Doug Naylor and Alan

SPORT Greenhalgh managed to defeat Barry Drayton (sub for Stu Dorahy), Mark Hair and Ron Webster 19 – 18. In the remaining game, Bill Baillie, Peter Cheney and John Slater managed an upset, defeating Doug Andrews, Geoff Muggleton and Dennis Ashbridge 22 – 20. Next Sunday’s final will be fought out by Bill Baillie, Peter Cheney and John Slater playing Len Baker, Doug Naylor and Alan Greenhalgh. In other news. The Kneelers and Grippers charity day will be held next Saturday 19 September. This game is on the 19th September and is a charity day to help support some disadvantaged local school children. Come along and support this event. $15 entry with lunch provided raffles and giveaways so come along. Coming up on the 21st October is our annual Patrons Day. This event will feature prize money with all the details to be provided soon. Only members of the Tea Gardens Men’s and Ladies Bowls Clubs are permitted to bowl and enter our local competitions at this stage. No visitors permitted at this stage until there is a change of rules.

My boyfriend and I are breaking up but we have a dog and we are now fighting over who gets to keep her. I bought him the dog as a birthday present, but we are both equally attached to her. She's a Bichon Frise named Lola. Ms Olivia P. Dear Olivia,

OH, Olivia. This is heartbreaking. It is sort of like Kramer vs Kramer except instead of little Billy being torn between two bitter parents, it is Lola the Bichon Frise complete with her faux mink bed, rhinestone collar and anxietydriven paw licking. This is a disaster. You're not only going to be up for shared custody costs but probably some pet therapy where little Lola gets to spend an hour each week with a therapist who can't coax her onto the couch because she's been trained not to jump on lounges. Now, since Lola was a birthday present, I'd say the case is pretty open and shut. I'm amazed you didn't settle for a Bunnings drill set or some aftershave. A dog? Really? Having said that, there are some practical things you could both consider and maybe even a shared custody arrangement. You could both meet at the rest area at Ourimbah each Sunday like all those other separated parents doing the kiddie swap in preparation for the week ahead. I can see it now. Your boyfriend will be five minutes late and you will note it in your diary as evidence of unfit parenting. One week Lola will turn up with a new hair-do and there'll be recriminations for days. And you know who will suffer through all of this? Poor little Lola. Her nerves will shatter. She'll start hanging out with that Boxer who comes from the wrong side of the tracks. She'll end up pregant at 14 (2 in dog years) and you'll be stuck with a litter of illegitimate bitzers. So, you need to approach this with decorum, Olivia. Be the better person. Think of the dog's needs. Who feeds her? Who will be at home more often? Who does she come to when you both call her from a distance of 50 metres? Who can afford the vet bills? I hope those questions help you come to a resolution. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Lizard king By Mitch LEES THERE’S a few cracking fishermen getting around Port Stephens, but none with the salt of the sea running through them like ten-yearold angler Xavier Pounder. Recently young Xavier, or ‘Quarter Pounder’ as his dad Michael calls him, has been loading up the chook poppers and targeting flathead around Soldiers Point. He’s been rewarded for his efforts landing his biggest lizard yet at a whopping 70cm. The keen outdoorsmen likes nothing more than helping dad get the boat ready each weekend and he’s always the first out of the door in the morning when it’s time to play in the great outdoors. “I can’t keep him in the house,” said Xavier’s dad Michael. “He hates being indoors and gets out and about any
