Local lifeguards help keep pool open By Thomas O'KEEFE TIRELESS initiative from a few local heroes has helped keep the Tea Gardens Pool open, making the summer heat that much more bearable for many on the Myall Coast. Eight locals (and one from Newcastle) answered the call as of late last year, many hailing from the Myall Masters Swimming Club – and a fair few coming out of retirement to do so. “The local lifeguards now constitute the majority of lifeguards on duty and without them The

Local lifeguards help keep pool open

q Locals Warren Savill and Linda Stubbs are ready to supervise and help keep the pool safe and open.

FROM Page 1 Y would be struggling to have the pool open,” Leon Bobako, President of the Myall Masters, told NOTA. Myall Masters Vice-President Linda Stubbs explained, "After COVID, The Y took over management of the pool, there were lifeguards and it ran well, but those people eventually moved on, and it became more and more difficult to fill the roles. “The Y has a minimum two-lifeguard policy, and throughout 2023, there were several instances of the pool closing due to staffing problems, often occurring on the weekends, so the Myall Masters, who also swim here, were asked if we had any interest. “Chris Lock got The Y funding for training, which we were then able to do at the pool itself last year.” According to Mr Lock, the swimmers have diligently completed various training modules, including “CPR, Fire Warden training, and competencies in eight essential units from the Royal Lifesaving New South Wales, covering crucial skills such as providing first aid, emergency care, administering oxygen in emergencies, and operating an automated external defibrillator (AED)”. “Some days we have been super busy, and

have remained busy right up until closing time at 7pm,” Ms Stubbs added, commenting on the clear and obvious need to keep this local community resource open and available. Among the lifeguards are Warren and Jane

Savill, who also run critical ‘Learn to Swim’ lessons at the Tea Gardens Pool, operating Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Savills cater to all ages, from babies to adults, and also run squads and school carnival training.

RULES IGNORED FROM Page 1 can be spotted off-leash, at times leaving untended faeces where it falls in the sand. Motorists and dogowners alike appear to ignore the clearly posted MidCoast Council information signs at vehicle and pedestrian beach accessways. The usual misdemeanours, such as bicycling without a helmet and unleashed dogs are widespread, but some actions have alarmed many locals with their uptake, such as one instance of two P-plate 4WDs choosing to race down the Bennetts Beach ‘No Vehicle’ zone south of the Sanderling

Dogs have consistently been seen running off-leash in designated on-leash areas.

Avenue access. Personal Water Craft (PWCs) routinely zoom well within the minimum 60 metre distance from all swimmers that NSW law requires them to keep, and multiple locals have spotted 4WDs crossing the restricted zone on the Yacaaba isthmus, risking crushing endangered animals and shorebirds’ nests.

The penalties for such offences, according to NSW Government and local Council websites, include: no helmets on bikes = $344; riding e-scooters on public roads = $120; PWCs too close to swimmers = $250; 4WDs on restricted beach areas = $220; dogs on beaches = $330; dog faeces left on beaches = $275. MidCoast Council has

been contacted about the frequency and regularity of Rangers to patrol the towns and areas. At both of last year’s Community Conversations, Council representatives agreed that it had been difficult to employ enough Rangers, however, there are no such job ads on Council’s website at the time of writing.

spokesperson. “Transport for NSW, MidCoast Council and Beam are currently conducting a twelve-month trial in the Forster-Tuncurry area.” Council’s trial in ForsterTuncurry is one of only six across NSW where e-scooters can legally ride on public roads, with all cases strictly following the same conditions, including: “only

using the chosen provider’s e-scooter, only one person per e-scooter, riders must wear a helmet at all times, and it is illegal to ride on footpaths.” “We’re encouraging e-scooter users to be respectful by following the road rules, slowing down and allowing a gap when passing pedestrians,” Council’s Director Infrastructure and Engineering Services, Rob Scott said. “We are focused on ensuring riders continue

to do the right thing, in particular following key riding rules such as wearing a helmet, as per the law.” E-scooter riders do not currently require a licence; however, they are subject to the same drug and alcohol offences as other vehicle drivers. During the holiday period, e-scooter riders on the Myall Coast have been sighted weaving on and off roads and footpaths down main streets, often with two riding precariously upon one e-scooter, and riding at night in dark clothing. Information on the MidCoast Council e-scooter trial can be found at www. midcoast.nsw.gov.au/YourCouncil/Our-news/Trial-isscooting-along.

Disputes between siblings about their inheritance are commonplace. As a parent and a senior citizen you may be keen to reduce the likelihood of a dispute as best you can. A recent case of Wehbe v Giotopoulos [2023] NSWSC 827 shows how easily disputes can give rise to expensive litigation. A widow lived with her 3 sons and she relied heavily on one of those sons to make legal arrangements for her. He obtained a Will kit, wrote out the Will for her and organised for witnesses to witness her signature. The Will did not treat the mother’s children equally. In fact, the mother made no provision in the Will for her 2 daughters. The daughters argued that their mother was frail and vulnerable and suffering from poor health and was not able

to read English and asked the Court to find that their mother did not know or approve of the contents of the Will. The daughters were successful. A key issue for the Court was the part the son played in organising the Will. This gave rise to suspicion about whether the mother understood what she had signed. The dispute could have been easily avoided by ensuring that the mother received independent legal advice before signing her Will and for a solicitor to have drafted the Will on her instructions. Our lawyers are available to assist you with advice about estate planning or in relation to disputes about Wills. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Tea Gardens Lions prepare for Australia Day 2024 By Thomas O’KEEFE

AUSTRALIA Day will be celebrated locally, once again, with the Tea Gardens Lions Club gearing up to host their annual BBQ event on Moira Parade Park, Hawks Nest. “This event has been organised and run for more than 20 years by the Tea Gardens Lioness Club and more recently by the Tea Gardens Lions Club, following their amalgamation,” Club President Doug Allen told NOTA. “The celebrations consist of breakfast starting at 8:00am, the flag-raising ceremony at 9am, with the highlight being the presentation of the Tea Gardens Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year awards and games rounding out the day, including the beloved thong-throwing and tug-o-war. “Music will be provided by local group Ol’ Spice.”

STUDENTS enrolled in healthcare degrees in NSW can now apply for up to $12,000 in subsidies to support them in their studies. 850 nursing students, 400 medical students and 150 midwifery students are expected to enter the subsidy program each year. Subsidies are also available for students of paramedicine, Aboriginal health, dentistry and oral health therapy, psychology, pharmacy, physiotherapy and medical physics. It is estimated the subsidies will support around one third of health worker graduates over the next three years. Students successful in their application and beginning their degrees will receive subsidies of $4,000 per year over three years. Existing students will receive one-off payments of $8,000 after acceptance of employment for a position within NSW Health. There are a limited number of subsidies available, and applications will remain open

until all subsidies are awarded. Students must be willing to make a fiveyear commitment to working in the NSW public health system. “Up to 4,000 subsidies are now on offer for this year for health degrees including nursing, midwifery, medicine, paramedicine, allied health and health science,” Minister for Health Ryan Park said. “By supporting students’ health studies and transition into the NSW Health workforce, this program is one of the many initiatives this government is rolling out to support staff and increase the workforce across the public health system. “We are committed to building a more engaged, capable and supported workforce.” The full list of eligible workforce groups and locations are available at www.health. nsw.gov.au/careers/Pages/health-studysubsidies.aspx

By Thomas O’KEEFE THE FATE of MidCoast Council swimming pools is yet to be determined, and Council representatives are returning to pools across the LGA for further community consultation. Council ‘Drop-In’ sessions will be held at Bulahdelah Pool on Monday 22 January, then Tea Gardens Pool on Tuesday 23 January, 11am to 2:30pm both dates. “Staff members will be on hand to listen to community ideas and feedback about pools, and will have iPads to help people fill in the survey,” a Council spokesperson explained.

The Tea Gardens Pool has gotten busy with the high heat and humidity this summer.

“Please note these sessions are not formal meetings, there will be no presentations nor forum discussions and Councillors will not be in attendance - this is about us hearing from you as individuals about how you use your pool.” The first pool drop-in was held at Tea Gardens back in late November, when Council representatives met informally with a large group of highly concerned locals, whose key focus was a guarantee from Council that the Tea Gardens Pool will not be closed down. Council’s representatives clarified that there was no intention to close the pool, rather, they are seeking local input, including the possibility of finding a locally-based

alternative to the current YMCA management situation, focusing on “financial responsibility”. Over summer, the pool has been frequently proving its inherent pricelessness as a community facility, with swim training, aquatic fitness for those less mobile, laps and other regular fitness opportunities, and a way to beat the heat and humidity. “Your feedback will be used to help us set the opening hours for future swim seasons, and pool operators will still be able to decide to open the pool for longer when it is hot, busy or they get a booking for an event,” Council said. “We know swimming pools are important community facilities

and want to ensure they remain sustainable for the future, and we have a duty to ensure pools operate according to safety guidelines and are managed in a financially responsible manner. “This is why we are introducing some changes to supervision, entry fees, management methods, and considering opening hours of pools.” Council is urging all users of the local pool to complete the short survey to Have Your Say online at https://haveyoursay.midcoast.nsw. gov.au/swimming-pool-operationsreview, in person at the drop-in sessions. The consultation will close on Sunday 4 February 2024.

Volunteers improve church access By Thomas O’KEEFE

BETTER access for all was the concrete goal of a small army of church volunteers last week at St Andrew’s Anglican Church on Ogden Street, Tea Gardens. “We are building a new disabled parking area and a connecting pathway to the Church, so that people can get across the gravelly lot more easily,” Barry Barnes, the main organiser for the project, told NOTA.

“People have had difficulty on the gravel, and this will let us clearly designate disabled parking spots, too,” Mr Barnes explained. “There actually were markers in the old gravel, but they got covered over years ago.” With components and hired machinery fully funded by the Church, the volunteers brought their skills and whole-hearted determination to the project, fuelled by their common desire to make the world better for all, even just a

church parking lot. Some volunteers came in from out of town, as far as Tamworth, as relatives of local churchgoers also got involved. The existing lot has been tamped hard by decades of vehicles and pedestrians, making the necessary digging and levelling tough going. “We hired two key pieces of machinery, the mechanical digger and the ‘finishing helicopter’ from Karuah Hire,” Mr Barnes added. “It is good to have access to such tools relatively close to town, otherwise we would have to go much farther to find them.” The ‘finishing helicopter’ (aka

‘power trowel’) is a heavy machine with chopper-like blades that allows an operator to level the top surface of the slab, finishing off the surface with a non-slip pattern that will aid its users immediately. Reverend Richard Goscombe is excited by the addition, saying, “Many thanks to Barry and the Team, as people will benefit from all this hard work to provide better allweather access. “More and more people are attending both Church Services and the Op Shop, and we want the place to be accessible to every member of our community.” q The access pathway is being laid out.

Gallery opens summer show By Thomas O’KEEFE

‘HAPPY Days’ came for Galleries in the Gardens (GiG) members at The Gallery on Marine Drive, Tea Gardens, with the official opening of the 16th annual ‘Cool Summer Exhibition’ on Friday 12 January. The local member-based, non-for-profit ‘GiG’ community art group have laboured with love to create new works, now on display amongst some older favourites, all having undergone vetting by the GiG Curatorial Committee. Two guest judges, Lynda Gibbins and Jill Orr, each practising artists with many years of exhibitions and awards behind them, were invited to undertake the manifold task

of choosing three awards covering threedimensional and two-dimensional media. “When judging artwork, I look for a bit of danger in the work, it's so good to be a risk taker, and I'm enamoured by work that is intentional – I want to know you meant it,” Ms Gibbins explained her process with the 3D awards. The 3D Winner was David Mathieson’s 'Life is but a Dream', based on a posed photo of his six-year-old grandson. Ms Gibbons described the piece as “a mastery of the medium”. “(It is) the work’s energy, the artistic courage demonstrated and its originality that makes the work vibrant and alive,” according to Ms Gibbins. q David Mathieson, Chez Rands, Sylvia Reczek, Emilie Tseronis, judge Lynda Gibbins, Lee Anderson, and Colleen MacSween.

Two ‘Highly Commended’ awards were given in the 3D category - Chez Rands’ 'A Happy Puppy', whose “wriggling joy is palpable”, and Lee Anderson's 'Happy Days' jewellery, with judges celebrating the “effortless, wearable, muted palette that combined small artworks with seeds and effortlessly pulled it off”. The 2D ‘Works on Paper’ category winner was Emilie Tseronis’ 'Imps and Dryads'. "Totally embracing, accurate, it has a generosity... makes you feel something,” said Ms Orr. Highly Commended in the category was Helen Sillar’s 'Barnes Rock', described as having "a lovely balance of light and dark to

create that movement”. The 2D ‘Works on Canvas’ category winner was Sylvia Reczek’s 'Grandma's Back Verandah' that "symbolises the feeling I had when I arrived here to judge, a beautiful balance of shape and colour". Colleen MacSween’s 'Bush Stone Curlew' (acrylic) was Highly Commended. "Enjoy those little bird feet curled up almost in anguish at being caught out, the powerful shadow equals the threat we pose on its survival.” As both judges and all attendees roundly agreed, the standard of the GiG is very high, and only seems to rise with each exhibition. The Cool Summer exhibition ends 5 February, with the WINC raffle drawn that day, too.

Report highlights increase in domestic violence, sexual assault in Hunter DOMESTIC assaults in the Hunter Valley (excluding Newcastle) region increased by 43 percent in the five years to September 2023, according to a report from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR). Comparatively, domestic assaults in the Capital Region rose 53 percent, the Mid North Coast was up 49 percent, and Coffs Harbour/Clarence was up 72 percent. Non‐domestic violence related assault in the Hunter Valley was up 28.8 percent, while sexual assault was up by 27 percent. BOSCAR’s report covers a range of different crime categories, including property-related. BOSCAR’s Acting Executive Director, Suzanne

Poynton, said in the two years to September 2023, eight of the thirteen major crime categories showed significant upward trends statewide. She said that for the most part, those upward trends reflected a recovery from COVID-related crime falls. “As has been previously reported, the rate of offending for many crimes was significantly interrupted by the pandemic,” Ms Poynton said. “Reports of domestic and sexual violence are higher now than five years ago, but most major property crimes still remain well below pre-pandemic levels.” She said the figures were open to interpretation

and could reflect a real increase in the number of domestic violence incidents and sexual assaults, but they could also reflect an increase in the willingness of people to report to police. “We know there has been greater public awareness around domestic violence, which might mean people are reporting more now to police than they have previously,” Ms Poynton said. “Police are also being pretty proactive in terms of policing and enforcing domestic violence and they may detect more crimes in the course of that policing activity, which could also push the number of reports up.” A spokesperson for NSW Police said the rise in sexual assault incidents

was consistent with longterm trends for the crime type and a reflection of increased reporting across the state. “Numerous recent campaigns relating to reporting sexual violence, as well as the publicity surrounding the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, are believed to have helped increase awareness and instil confidence in victims of sexual assault to come forward. “In line with this, it should be noted that a significant proportion of sexual offences reported in the period are historical in nature.” Despite this progress, NSW Police say sexual violence remains one of

SEEKING THE TRUTH Anti-fracking activist turns attention to renewables and Hunter offshore wind zone

By Doug CONNOR

DAYNE Pratzky, the tradie turned anti-fracking activist whose story of defiance was the focus of the 2015 documentary film ‘Frackman’, has now turned his attention to renewable energy. Specifically, Mr Pratzky is targeting disinformation that he believes threatens the progress of renewable energy development, including a potential offshore wind industry in the Hunter region. Mr Pratzky has a long history of researching Australian energy projects and their environmental impacts. In 2007, after a workplace accident, Mr Pratzky made the move to a small property in Chinchilla, Queensland. Just six months later, he became aware his property was under threat from the expansion of coal seam gas projects in the region. “A guy drove down my driveway and said ‘Mate, we are going to drill some wells into your property, there’s nothing you can do about it’,” Mr Pratzky told NOTA. “He shoved a contract in my face and said ‘Sign this’. “That started a bit of a fight which went on for almost ten years and culminated in the documentary, ‘Frackman’, which was released in 2015.” Now residing in Forster,

Mr Pratzky is producing a series of videos exploring the ‘war on renewables’, which will include a focus on disinformation permeating the debate around offshore wind. “I can’t just say ‘no gas’ and not get involved in the solution,” Mr Pratzky said. “The solution is renewable energy. “The problem in these situations is that the facts don’t tell themselves, someone has got to tell them. “All we are getting at the moment is disinformation and lies.” Mr Pratzky said the Hunter offshore wind proposal has become a “political football”, with debate on the issue poisoned by “tribalism”. “We have two sides of politics and if one party says the sky is blue, the other party says it is pink.” Mr Pratzky cites the Coalition's staunch recent opposition to offshore wind project proposals across Australia as evidence of this. “We had the Morrison government come out in 2021, and this is actually their plan,” he said. “Now the Labor government has come in, picked up the baton and said ‘Let’s do this’. “All of a sudden, the Opposition has turned against it. “The Coalition are acting like it is the worst idea in the world when it

was their own idea. “That is how you know it is tribal politics at its worst. “It’s just grandstanding.” Mr Pratzky also expressed concern that residents’ genuine concerns on projects are being ignored while attention is instead focused on political back and forth. “The problems we are actually facing (with offshore wind) are not being addressed. “I went to the last rally they held in Port Stephens (Hawks Nest) and spoke to great people who have genuine concerns. “Those genuine concerns are being steamrolled. “They (politicians) are using it (offshore wind) as a division tactic when there are serious problems that need to be addressed which won’t happen while the politicians fight amongst themselves.” In recent months Mr Pratzky calculates he has spent close to 600 hours researching the transition to renewables across the globe. His new project takes aim at those he believes are spreading disinformation regarding renewable energy projects. He cites the use of images of dead whales alongside wind turbines in messaging from anti-wind farm groups as an example. “Dead whales and wind turbines, what an image.

“Let’s get the facts out on the table. “Wind turbines do not kill whales. “Shipping kills whales. “If you want to talk about whale deaths and shipping, there are 4700 coal boats that head in and out of Newcastle Harbour each year. “What do we hear about that? “Crickets, nothing.” Mr Pratzky is urging politicians and the community to redirect conversations around offshore wind development. “The projects aren’t perfect, but they are going ahead. “Let’s get the best out of them. “We need to progress these things faster so we can start getting some deals going. “Instead of the conversation going ‘No, no, no’, let’s change the conversation to ‘What is in it for us?’.” According to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, the Hunter region is uniquely placed for the development of an offshore wind industry due to its “strong grid connections associated with the existing coal fired power stations”, “proximity to areas of high electricity demand from population centres and heavy industry such as the Tomago smelter” and the “potential to support infrastructure via the Port of Newcastle”. Mr Pratzky believes the offshore wind industry

violence in NSW.” According to the spokesperson, the NSW Police Force implements a number of practical strategies to target domestic violence offenders, support victims and reduce recidivism. “Police will respond to all domestic and family violence incidents reported to them, regardless of who made the report, or where, when, why or how it was made. “We have specially trained officers in the Northern Region Area Command who target highrisk and repeat offenders to ensure they are complying with relevant orders.” The full BOCSAR September quarterly update can be found at www.bocsar.nsw.gov.au.

promote the cause, he and the majority of locals are focused purely on achieving a positive outcome for Port Stephens. “Grassroots initiatives do the best they can to serve their community, but there will always be extraneous input from elsewhere. “The utmost concern we have, as concerned locals, is to generate awareness and attention to the issue.” To follow Mr Pratzky’s deep dive into the world of renewable energy, visit www.facebook. com/FrackmanProject1, instagram.com/frackman_ project_daynep and w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / @ thefrackman1.

Mahjong for all By Thomas O’KEEFE

STRATEGY, socialising and a good workout for the brain will be enjoyed by the members of the Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Mahjong Club, which is readying to return to the tiles at the Hawks Nest Golf Club on Wednesday, 31 January. “The Mahjong Club was started 40 years ago by Shirley Barron, when the golf course was only nine holes, and we played in the ‘Clubhouse’ shed there,” Mahjong Club spokesperson Janet Merryweather told NOTA. “It is something different from other activities in town, you can socialise throughout the games, and people often see us spread around the Golf Clubhouse, they come over and are fascinated,” Ms Merryweather said. Mahjong Club members have come in from all over the Myall Coast, including Bulahdelah, North Arm Cove, Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest, and even some stalwart members from Newcastle.

“You do not need to bring a partner, so people can come along alone and join in if they want, or bring a friend, and

men and women are equally welcome, and we are very happy to meet and teach new players.”

q Janet Merryweather and Fran Henderson sorting out the tiles for the big return, ready to welcome and teach new players.

“Mahjong, like other strategy games, helps ‘flex the brain muscles’, and medical experts also think that the social interaction has cognitive benefits for the aged, too,” Ms Merryweather explained. Likening the tile-matching game to ‘rummy’, Mahjong is one of those games that is easy to pick up, but takes a while to

OPINION

MYALL COAST News Of The Area

We don’t want wind farms off our coast DEAR News Of The Area,

I REFER to your recent publication of a letter from Leigh Shears ('Hunter Offshore Wind proposal and regional prosperity'). Leigh Shears makes a

compassionate argument in support for this project. However, the argument being prosecuted by Leigh Shears on behalf of the union movement appears to focus on jobs and workers first, without

addressing environment impacts, community concerns and the practicality of construction issues as well as capital cost and the returns on that investment the owners of the project expect.

This project will have no immediate impact on lowering energy cost to consumers. It may be argued that over time benefits may be realised but the lifespan and ongoing maintenance

will negate any benefits. Leigh Shears seems, to me, to be at odds with the values and ideals of past union leaders (Jack Mundy et al), who stood for sensible environmental sustainability through the

BEACH patrols by the Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Surf Life Savers have been bolstered by the recent addition of four accredited instructors dedicated to training members in Surf Rescue Certificates and Bronze Medallion qualifications. “This results in an increased number of dedicated Lifesavers patrolling our beaches, ensuring the safety of our community both on and off the sand,” Natalie Skelly, from the TGHN SLSC, told NOTA. Eleven Bronze Medallion and four Surf Rescue Certificate candidates

The Write Direction By John BLACKBOURN

Going Global IN both life and business it is a good idea to know where we are going. From where I sit, it looks like our country is going global. One of those indicators is the Australian motor vehicle industry, which sadly is no more. Only a few years ago we had five major manufacturers building cars, namely General Motors Holden, Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi.

Mitsubishi was the old Chrysler and Valiant constructor and built Dodge, Jeep and DeSoto vehicles popular in the USA. South Australia and Victoria hosted these industries and our Government even provided a new tax to help sponsor that production. The prestige vehicle import premium was placed on all cars over a certain value in order to protect the jobs of motor industry construction workers which may be put at risk from lower priced imports. Nowadays we don’t have any motor vehicle construction workers employed as that industry has moved offshore, the stated reason at that time being that mass produced vehicles would be lower cost and more easily available. Isn’t that interesting? Simple research shows virtually all vehicles available to us now are more expensive. Even their supply is restricted as a

Progress Association welcomes you to 2024 By Bruce MURRAY, President, Hawks Nest Tea Gardens Progress Association

ON behalf of the Hawks Nest Tea Gardens Progress Association (HNTGPA) Management Committee, welcome to the new year. We trust everyone is enjoying a fantastic summer break, enjoying our Myall River, stunning beaches, and parks. Firstly, congratulations to our newly elected Management Committee members: Vice President Michele Winn, Secretary Sherrie O’Keefe, and Committee member Chris Taylor. They join Treasurer Kay Jones, Public Officer Sandra Bourke, Jeannette Hart (President Myall River Art Walk Group), Kath Verdon, John Verdon, Bryony Barnes, and Christian Patterson. A special acknowledgment goes to our outgoing Vice President and Life Member, Trevor Jennings, for his outstanding contributions over many years. Furthermore, a sincere thank you to Sandra Bourke for her diligent work as our Secretary, particularly in securing grants over the past two years. Reflecting on the past year, the HNTGPA achieved significant success, obtaining approximately $130,000 in grant funding.

Thursday, 18 January 2024

This entire sum has been reinvested back into our community, resulting in key accomplishments such as the outdoor exercise equipment in Providence Bay Park, the Seniors Festival, pool upgrades, and solar lighting installations at the skate park and Lions Park. Our dedicated volunteers played a crucial role in preparing the Scout Hall for Seniors Week, undertaking tasks such as cleaning, painting, and equipment replacements. The Hall remains under the management of Scouts NSW. Additionally, the HNTGPA contributed to the inaugural Lee Anderson Award at Galleries in the Garden, replaced the Service Clubs sign near the skate park, and collaborated with the Men’s Shed to establish a garden around its base. The Myall River Art Walk Group has been active in restoring the Surf Club mural, creating new whale murals at the Surf Club, working on the NAIDOC mural, the Marine Drive amenities mural, and numerous smaller art installations around town. As we enter 2024, the HNTGPA has over 130 members, committed to working together for the betterment of the Myall Coast community and the environment.

THERE are quite a few situations where phone calls can be irritating at best. When you receive a call, it's important that both the caller and receiver give each other

their undivided attention, otherwise things can get lost in translation. Communicating effectively can be extremely difficult when one person is listening attentively and the other is navigating traffic and entering mobile reception black spots, all while trying to have a conversation. I'd simply suggest to your friend that while you appreciate hearing from him, you can't hear a lot of the conversation because of all the background noise. Alternatively, the next time you chat, just hang up after five minutes and blame it on bad reception. If he still doesn't get the message, do household chores while he talks. Great options include vacuuming, unpacking the dishwasher, or re-nailing the back deck. At least that way you're not wasting your time. When he can't hear you either, the shine will soon wear off and he'll hopefully take up listening to podcasts or music instead. Carpe diem, Jasminda

means to create demand and force prices upwards. Even worse, the tax on imported upper end vehicles still remains even though we don’t have any motor workers’ jobs that need protecting. May our Government be overdosing on its habit to consume more tax revenue? We have seen several attempts to build sports cars from small private operators who were priced out of the game due to their limited production numbers, but they were never protected. Lightburn, the washing machine manufacturer in Adelaide, built the Zeta car and then went on to assemble Alfa Romeo vehicles which arrived in boxes from Italy in what is known as CKD form. That enterprise also ended over time, a sad happening for the availability of quality cars constructed in Australia. The Victa lawnmower, designed and built by one of my neighbors from

Roseville in Sydney (Vic Richardson), is now an overseas-built product. Even the Japanese quality motor tyre manufacturer in Australia, Bridgestone, has moved back offshore, as has Hills Hoists. The majority of our vehicle fuel now comes from Singapore and the required amount to be stored onshore in Australia is well below the suggested amount in order to guarantee supply for a period of time in the event of disruptions caused by shipping, wars or unsettled political events overseas. Somehow our political masters think this is progress because it passes the buck to someone else outside our control, so it is “their fault” when supply fails or war breaks out. However, we will always be the loser when it comes to supply and price as we too go global.

Government's disappointing and tardy response to the urgent need to dredge the lower Myall River. The silting poses a high risk to both river users and is adversely impacting the environment. We are also advocating to the Federal and State governments for improved consultation and transparency around the serious adverse environmental and economic impacts of the Hunter Offshore Wind turbines, to be situated 20km off Hawks Nest Beach and the RAMSAR listed Myall Lakes National Park and protected Cabbage Tree island. We are steadfast in our commitment to advocate for these and other issues throughout the year. Looking ahead, we already have two grants in readiness for our community. The first is the NSW Seniors Grant, supporting our third NSW Seniors Week with a free ‘Hey Hey it's Seniors Day’ Gala Concert and Afternoon Tea on Saturday, 16 March. Stay tuned for free tickets and details about the exciting entertainment program. The second funding initiative, from the Mid Coast Council and HNTGPA fundraising, will be directed towards the Singing Bridge Golden Jubilee Commemoration, commencing on Saturday, 6 April. This commemorative event will feature street stalls, concerts, and displays across Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest, reminiscent of the community's celebration in 1974. We will be seeking support from community groups and local businesses to

make this event a success. Our commitment extends to various projects in our twin villages, focusing on upgrading the community hall, the regional skate park, off-leash dog park development, ongoing pool improvements, Myall River dredging/access, footpaths, roads, general amenities and park enhancements. These initiatives will also form a significant part of our ongoing advocacy to local, state, and federal governments. Our first General Meeting for 2024 is scheduled for Monday, 12 February 2024, at St Stephen's Community Hall, starting at 6:30 pm. This is a temporary arrangement pending the completion of the Hawks Nest community hall upgrade. Thank you for your continued support. Cheers to a thriving and communitydriven 2024.

Golf Club hosts big kids’ discos By Thomas O’KEEFE

KIDS united for dance-filled fun and games at the Hawks Nest Golf Club’s ‘Kids Only Disco Night’ events over the summer holidays, with still more to come. The Golf Club’s events organiser, Emily McCormack, explained how the discos were a relatively new innovation for the Club, alongside its summer golf camps, helping to make the Club a premier familyfriendly destination. “Events like these can really bring people together, and we’ve had an amazing turnout these holidays,” Emily said. The excitement was palpable as the family cars rolled up, and the kids entered the Club to the sound of their favourite pop singers. Kids of all ages got active, some barely walking, others just having fun, and even some parents got jiggy at their juniors’ insistence. The music and

entertainment have been provided by DJ Nathan from Vesta Kids, a Newcastle-based kids entertainment company that does parties and similar events all over the Hunter. “It is so great to see the kids having a blast, and DJ Nathan is really good with them, making it really interactive with games and

Group, Big Ideas, Card Games, Choir, French, Friends of Film, Garden Club, Music Group, Opera in the Afternoon, Photography, Spanish, Writers Group and Yoga on offer this year, and people can choose as many as they’d like – there’s something for everyone.” The name ‘University of the Third Age’ is derived from the concept that people move through their first two ‘ages’ of growing up and working, then into the third, ‘Age of Retirement’ – a time when passions can more freely be pursued. Myall U3A is part of the U3A Network NSW Inc., which consists of over 60 autonomous U3As throughout NSW and several more groups from

interstate, each dedicated to providing life-long learning opportunities for their members in their 'third age'. The U3A also operates internationally, with the shared goal of providing lowcost intellectual stimulation for people in active retirement, there are no formal entrance requirements, no examinations and the point is to have fun while continuing to learn, and it is self-supporting and run by its members. “Keep your mind stimulated and stay active in a supportive, friendly environment that will also keep you socially engaged!” Annie added. “Don’t forget, we love volunteers, and all please feel free to contact us for

Jessica joins World’s Greatest Shave By Thomas O’KEEFE

q Jess Johnston will donate her long locks to someone who will truly appreciate them, making a difference in another’s life.

q Myall U3A members are gearing up for another great year in 2024.

LOCAL angel Jessica Johnston will be taking it all off as part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s ‘World’s Greatest Shave’ in support of blood cancer patients and research, at the Tea Gardens Country Club on Friday 19 January. Just after the raffles, at approximately 7:30pm, Jess will have her long and luscious locks shorn in support of the worthy charity. “I wanted to do the World's Greatest Shave to donate my hair so it could be

used as a wig for someone in need,” Jess told NOTA. Jess lost her father (not to leukaemia) late last year, and said, “Dad’s loss made me realise life is too short and I want to do some good in my own life and make a positive impact on someone else’s. “Shaving my head, knowing it could change someone else’s life is very empowering – hair is beautiful, but you don’t need hair to be beautiful.” Jess’ humble donation goal was set at $1000, but as of the Sunday before the main

event, incoming donations had already reached $1,418, with hopefully much more to be added by readers and locals before the clippers start humming on Friday. “With no screening programs available and no means of prevention through lifestyle changes, blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis, and every day, 53 Aussies are diagnosed with blood cancer, and sixteen will lose their life,” Jess explained. “We can’t delay action, raising crucial funds that help give those facing blood

cancer all the support and information they need, while driving breakthrough research projects discovering better ways to diagnose and treat blood cancer. “Big or small, every donation counts, and you have the power to help me make an extraordinary difference.” The Country Club has placed QR codes around the premises, which will take donors directly to Jess’ page, and there are also several tins few tins for cash donations, so even after the great shave, donations can still be made at the Tea Gardens Country Club.

Rising netballer earns selection in Australian Indigenous Under 13s squad By Chris KARAS

MEET outstanding elevenyear-old athlete Maalaa McLennan – the toast of Port Stephens Netball Association.

tournament in Melbourne to be staged in September. Young gun Maalaa was one of the first players chosen after superb performances for the NSW Echidnas at the National Indigenous Schoolgirls Under 12s championship on the Gold Coast. Despite being one of the youngest players on court, a determined Maalaa demonstrated her natural skills and incredible resilience to lead the number two ranked Echidnas to the semi finals where they were eliminated by North Queensland in overtime. While the loss was disappointing, Maalaa gained consolation by taking out the tournament’s Sportsmanship Award and being named in the Australian Under 13s squad. “It was a really fun experience to play against the best young Indigenous netballers in the country,” an excited Maalaa told News Of The Area. “We performed well as a unit and I made so many friends during the carnival and enjoyed the camaraderie with all the teams,” she

Maalaa’s New Year resolution for 2024 was “to make the Australian Indigenous squad” and the talented schoolgirl was absolutely thrilled when she learned of her selection. “This is a dream come true and I can’t wait to put on the Australian colours in netball later this year,” beamed the

goal scoring sensation and incoming Hunter River High School Year 7 student. Two of Maalaa’s proudest supporters are her mother Clare and coaching mentor Pearl Manton from the Karuah Pearls Netball Club. Both lauded Maalaa’s raw potential and great character. “She is a gifted young netballer with a strong work ethic who always assists team mates on court with her actions and encouragement,” quipped Pearl, the widely respected team manager of the NSW Echidnas and Karuah Pearls Netball President. “To be recognised for her excellent sportsmanship and ability on court is a huge

Her vision and class also shone through with the Raymond Terrace Magpies in the Newcastle-Hunter Women's Regional A Grade competition. Respected Hunter Rugby League representative mentor Russell Grigg told News Of The Area that the teen sensation “has the credentials to go a long way”. Grigg, who will coach the Maitland Pickers womens A Grade team in 2024, guided the Magpies to a Grand Final appearance last season where they were pipped 1210 by Lakes United. “Lilly-Ann turned in mature performances as a half back and proved to be one of the best players in the competition with her natural ball skills and determination,” he revealed. The former Hunter River High School student also starred at five eighth for NSW Combined High Schools at the Australian Secondary Schools Under 18

National Girls championships at Redcliffe, steering the Blues to another title. Lilly-Ann, who played her early junior football with the Raymond Terrace Roosters, stamped herself one of the best young prospects in the country with top displays at the Brisbane carnival. She was at her creative best in an emphatic 38-8 Grand Final victory over the previously unbeaten Queensland side in the championship final, earning a

achievement,” Pearl added. Maalaa, a regional high jump athletics representative and martial arts student, is gearing up for her fourth season with the Pearls after joining the club’s Net Set Go program as a nine-year-old. She spearheaded her Karuah team to an undefeated Under 12s premiership in the Port Stephens Netball Association last year and was named in the Under 11 Development squad. If her recent rousing form counts for anything, then the classy goal attack could line up for the Port Stephens 12yrs representative team at this year’s NSW Junior State Netball titles in Sydney.

Lilly-Ann impressed keen judges as a lock forward when the Australian Schoolgirls toppled the Papua New Guinea Junior Orchids 26-0 in only their second-ever test match at the Santos National Football Stadium in Port Moresby. With a step up in class in 2024, the rising utility continues to work hard during the NRLW preseason and broaden her rugby league education.

BEAUTIFUL LAKES OF NORTHERN ITALY

SBS, 8.40pm

Ditch the travel agency and tune into this immersive travelogue. It only seems appropriate to pour yourself your drink of choice and settle into a half-awake reverie as you relax into the glorious scenery. There’s quaint towns clinging to hills above turquoise water, velvety green mountains and medieval stone hamlets as well as smiling locals whipping up cheese and boats lolling about in the bay. The beauty of Northern Italy is on display, and after settling in for two immersive episodes, beginning tonight, you may mistakenly believe you have actually set foot in the stunning region. Tonight’s lush, light-ﬁlled exploration traverses Lake Maggiore to Lake Como.

Almost a century after the Australian Museum commissioned three life-like statues of Aboriginal people that were exhibited, half-naked and nameless, as evidence of what the national census declared “a dying race”, the family of Ngarigo woman Nanny Nellie Bungil Walker are taking steps to reclaim her identity and tell her story. Award-winning filmmaker Daniel King is behind this striking feature, as he documents his mother Aunty Irene Ridgeway’s efforts to honour her greatgrandmother. Irene’s profoundly personal journey begins by finding the descendants of the other sculptures, before retracing Nellie’s life story in a healing show of inner strength.

ABC, 8.30pm

Even if you only have a passing interest in Paul McCartney and The Beatles, this six-part miniseries makes for compulsory viewing. The music legend’s ongoing chat with famed producer Rick Rubin is a fascinating insight into the early days of the band, with this third episode focusing on their breakthrough in the American market, their time spent in India, as well as the band’s friendship with fellow icons Little Richard and Roy Orbison. It’s all interspersed with musical interludes where McCartney brilliantly breaks down the creation and recording of some classic Beatles tracks. While Fab Four fans will get the most out of this, it’s a must-see for all music lovers. 1901
