Charity keeps rescue service flying
By Thomas O'KEEFE
GLOOMY skies and cold rain could not ruin the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s Charity Golf Day, held at Hawks Nest Golf Course on Friday 26 July. A gaggle of golfers, numbering 65, turned out to compete for ultimate glory, and to give generously to the aerial rescue service that has been busy all year round, rescuing hikers from nearby mountains, and patients far out to sea. The four-person Ambrose tournament was preceded by a hearty barbeque breakfast, the time, energy and ingredients of which were donated by the Tea Gardens Lions Club, in one of many outings of their famous BBQ trailer this

“Hawks Nest Golf Course is a picturesque place, everyone wants to play here, so we try to make a weekend of it,” Graeme Rowe from the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service told NOTA.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service receives its funding from three chief and equivalent sources, with one third coming from government grants, one third from large corporate sponsors such as mining companies, and one third from the community.
“The Service needs roughly $15 million from the community every year, as it covers Newcastle, Lower Hunter and Port Stephens,” Graeme explained.
To give some perspective, running costs of the Helicopter Service include the four helicopters, located at Newcastle, Tamworth and Lismore, running 1500 rescue missions per year, with an average cost of $7500.
The helicopters alone cost more than $20 million, but they can fly for 2.6 hours with a
range of 780 km, and the night-vision goggles for pilots cost $21,000.
Each blade costs $260,000, and there are five on each machine.
In the event’s third year at Hawks Nest Golf Course, there were plenty of local and visiting players, including mixed teams of men and women swinging together.
The morning weather was grim, with rain and dark clouds above, but the drizzle relented just before the 8:30am siren, and a sliver of blue on the western horizon widened out into a nice afternoon for everyone after all.

found that she was unfit to act as executor and ordered her removal as executor.
As part of a deal for a new service centre the developer was required to donate $50,000 to MidCoast Council for use in upgrading local facilities.
The Council then formed a committee to work out the best way to spend the money.
“The project that was chosen was a shade sail over playground equipment in Wade Park,” committee member Dale
“The shade sail was important to make the use of the outdoor equipment safer for children with the prevalence of skin cancer in Australia.”
The Council went to tender for a company to carry out the work and six weeks ago the poles for the shade sail were installed.
There was some delay due to rain but the work has now been completed,
with the sail being erected by Shade Structures last week.

The finalisation of the estate was delayed over five years because Ms Haukka refused to leave her late mother’s house and insisted the estate paid all outgoings. During that time, she also had an irresponsible approach to her executor dutiesshe poorly managed her conflict of interests as executor (despite legal advice) and displayed poor conduct towards the beneficiaries.
This case highlights the importance of choosing a competent and trustworthy executor and obtaining legal advice if you are a beneficiary and suspect executor fraud or misconduct.

Rugged headland rescue
By Thomas O’KEEFE
THE Westpac Rescue Helicopter has been busy doing what it does best, undertaking a major mission in Hawks Nest on Monday, 22 July.
At roughly 2pm, the Rescue Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance to a rescue operation on Yacaaba Headland.
“Following reports of a patient falling heavily on an isolated walking trail, local Ambulance Paramedics and emergency services attended the location and commenced treatment of the patient prior to the arrival of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Critical Care medical team,” explained a representative of the Rescue Helicopter service.
“Due to the terrain in the area the helicopter’s Critical Care medical team were inserted via winch into the scene.”

The patient was reportedly in a stable condition by the time the helicopter took off.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service performs James Bond-esque feats on a regular basis, with at least two cruise ship extractions so far this year alone.
At about 3:30pm on Thursday 13 June, the Rescue Helicopter responded to a request to land upon a cruise ship at sea, east of South West Rocks, winching aboard to assist a man in his 40s suffering from a serious medical condition.
On Saturday 20 April, the Rescue Helicopter Service responded to another cruise ship, also at sea, approximately 20 nautical miles east of Newcastle, where a man onboard was suffering from a medical condition requiring a NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic and NSW Health doctor to be winched onboard the vessel.
In both cases, the patients were stabilised before being winched or loaded into the helicopter, and transported to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.

Karuah foreshore cleanup
By Thomas O’KEEFE
VOLUNTEERS braved the rainy and windy weather to help de-pollute the foreshore of the Karuah River on Saturday 27 July.
Led by volunteers from the Karuah Landcare Group, the team was facilitated by Clean4Shore, an organisation based on the Central Coast that specialises in cleaning up oyster-farming estuaries.
“Clean4Shore, run by Johnno, is an organisation that removes litter and pollution from foreshores
and mangroves, from the Hawkesbury to the Central Coast, and now up here,” Karuah Landcare member Torsten Landwehr told NOTA.
“Two months ago, Johnno approached Karuah Landcare Group, knowing of our regular, monthly meetings around Karuah, where we variously clean up the surrounding wetlands and mangroves.
“We meet and try to do some cleaning up every month or six weeks, also do regeneration work, replanting native vegetation around the
highway, removing weeds and lantana.
“Johnno took out two barges - this was the third time in as many monthsand we pulled in close to 600 kilograms of rubbish.”
A Clean4Shore representative told NOTA, “Treated by overcast, rainy conditions, we met with local resident Torsten. Though unable to rally community interest, unsurprisingly, we rallied a small hard-working team out in the Clean4shore barge."

Sand dredge update
MEMBER for Port Stephens
Kate Washington has offered an update on dredging plans for the Myall River, suggesting the sand removal operation will begin in early 2025.
The State MP told NOTA dredging is a “complex process which requires approvals and licensing through multiple agencies”, with different sections of the river requiring different types of approvals and licensing.
“To work our way through these complexities, I have been convening monthly meetings with MidCoast Council as the delivery agency, as well as the Transport Minister’s
Office and the Maritime Infrastructure Delivery Office of Transport for NSW to ensure the dredging of the Myall River is done as efficiently and effectively as possible,” Ms Washington said.
“Approval permits have now been lodged with Crown Lands and Marine Parks, and the steering group is ensuring that the project provides value for money for the community, protects the Myall River ecosystem (including the migratory seabird nesting season from OctoberFebruary) and enables our ferry operators to continue operating safely, including during the summer season.”

team, as only one barge was needed, and Central Coast oyster grower Damo and his two boys assisted with
Ms Washington said the later dredging schedule will provide an “even better outcome than first anticipated”.
“If we were to dredge this year, we could only clear the navigation channel,” she said.
“By dredging early next year, we’ll be able to dredge both the navigation channel and the Eastern Channel which we know is vital to the health of the Myall River ecosystem.
“I know how important this dredging is for local residents, and I’m glad that funding has been secured and a plan put in place to get the job done in the most effective way.”
“We want to make it a better place environmentally, good for locals to thrive, and some of our members are trained ecologists, but we are always hoping for more volunteers to join the Landcare group,” Torsten added.
“The barge is new for us,
While most of the rubbish appeared to be of oysterfarming origins – nets, cages, plastic trays and the like –there was a large array of other, non-oyster-farming detritus clogging up the mangroves.
Old car tyres, plastic of all shapes and sizes, milk crates, buckets and bags were all pulled out of what should be a pristine, estuarine environment.

A story of reconciliation
By Thomas O’KEEFE
A GREAT advocate for reconciliation has been immortalised in a new book by a local author, launched at Club Macquarie on Sunday 21 July.
‘The Fettler’ is a biography of ‘Uncle’ Bill Smith, an Aboriginal elder and leader in the region, who gained national and international significance through many initiatives of
cultural understanding and inclusion.
“Bill Smith was originally from Woolbrook, but his family came down after the floods, and worked as railway fettlers in Telarah, then Lake Macquarie,” explained the author, Greg Blyton, a retired lecturer of Indigenous history.
“He and his brother later set up the first Aboriginal company in Australia, working on railways, but he
did so much more.
“Bill advised the Federal Government on Aboriginal affairs as the NSW Chair of the National Aboriginal Conference between 198185, and was also Aboriginal of the Year in 1993.
“He also started the Awabakal co-operative in Newcastle, and even dined with the Queen twice.”
Closer to home, Uncle Bill co-ordinated a visit in 1997 by Nippon Television
Corporation to visit the Myall River and Corrie Island, where they had oncein-a-lifetime encounters with the pure natural beauty of the area and its creatures and culture.
Uncle Bill also organised the large corroboree at Jimmys Beach in 1998, which drew in around 500 people.
When Uncle Bill died at age 83 in 2021, his funeral and farewell service still managed to book out Newcastle’s McDonald Jones
Stadium with 600 people, amid the pandemic, and was also streamed online.
‘The Fettler’ helps to immortalise Bill Smith, as though his many life achievements were not enough.
“I am just the notetaker, and the launch was a wonderful example of reconciliation,” Greg said.
“Where a fettler repairs tracks, this man repaired conflicts in society.
“He believed in a philosophy that Aboriginal
people would be accepted as equal, [and that] people can learn to respect and understand the Aboriginal component of our country's history.”
The book launch was attended by Newcastle Federal MP Sharon Claydon, House Speaker Greg Piper, former mayor of Newcastle John McNaughton, and Emeritus Professors John Lester and John Ramsland, along with about 40 Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens residents, 150 people in all.

IGA wins again
By Thomas O’KEEFE
LOCAL supermarket IGA Hawks Nest has won yet another award on the national level, being crowned the 2024 IGA National Small Grocery and Perishables Department of the Year on 15 July.
The awards are held by Metcash, the parent company of IGA and Foodland IGA stores, and was the 25th National IGA Awards of Excellence, to recognise, highlight, and celebrate independent retailers from across the country.
In a glamorous and glitzy Gold Coast ceremony, members of the local grocery team enjoyed the
limelight once again, this time at The Star Gold Coast, as they beat out competing grocers and supermarkets from across the state and the country.
“We are so proud to have received the 2024 IGA National Small Grocery & Perishables Department of the Year Award,” IGA Local Grocer Hawks Nest Manager Lyndal Blaber told NOTA.
“It is such an honour for our store, and I’d like to say a big thank you to our amazing staff who are incredibly dedicated, and our loyal locals who continue to support our store.
“We are very grateful.
“We are really excited
to celebrate and share this milestone with the community.”
A representative from IGA parent company, Metcash, said the local team strives to “deliver nothing but the best every single day for the local community”.

Author explores dystopian future
By Thomas O’KEEFE
LOCAL author Greg Mutton has launched his latest book, this time taking a departure from his famed ‘12th Realm’ sci-fi series, to explore concepts even closer to the modern day.
‘Shanghaied’ is described as a near-future, slightly dystopian sciencefiction adventure, involving virus vaccines that have been misused to leave the planet a wasteland, and humanity on the brink of extinction, with pathological scientists, and even time-travel, all mixed into a story of intrigue, action and a bit of romance, too.
The plot appears to be

in direct contrast with the quiet, bushland setting in which it was written by Greg, here on the Myall Coast, but its pre-COVID conception makes it all the spookier in terms of possible premonition.
“I began writing ‘Shanghaied’ in 2018, and finished long before COVID ever hit, because I was reading about virus vaccines and their development,” Greg explained.
“For the story, I wanted the characters to invent a vaccine to cure all ills, created for the right reasons, but then to explore how human politics, greed and the like can twist it into a weapon of devastating outcomes.
“The idea is based on real scientific research, happening right now.
“While I was writing I was also meeting all sorts of people related to
university studies in the field of vaccines, and learnt that there is a very real possibility that things can go horribly wrong.
“It’s definitely a comment on modern politics, leading to questions like: ‘Why there is no research into actual cures anymore?’”
‘Shaghaied’ has had a soft release, mainly via social media, and is already receiving glowing reviews internationally, including readers in the USA and UK, where pre-release sales had already occurred.
“This book is part of a growth in my writing,” Greg said.
“I have a number of other manuscripts ready to go, and wanted to push myself to write something in a different sub-genre – but rest assured, ‘12th Realm’ is still well under way, with Book 5 coming out next year.”

Karuah website goes live
By Thomas O’KEEFE
KARUAH has launched its much-anticipated town website, Karuah.org, going live and functional as of Saturday 20 July.
An initiative encouraged by the Karuah Progress Association (KPA), the town website is a strong, modern attempt to centralise useful current, and historical, information about the town, to facilitate engagement within and with visitors.
“Although our site is brand new and may not appear at the top of Google search results just yet, it won't be long before Karuah.org becomes a top search result,” Marion Brown, KPA Secretary, told NOTA.
“The website contains a business directory, which is designed to promote local businesses, making it easier for community members and visitors to find and support the services they need, and allowing our locals to gain increased visibility and the opportunity to connect with a broader audience.”
The site also features an events page, soon to be populated with all kinds of Karuah-based goings-on, and a community page, described as “your one-stop resource for discovering local groups, services, and facilities in the Karuah area... connecting you with everything from sporting clubs and social groups to schools and community services”.
Karuah Progress Association has given great focus to the content and localisation
of the site, even running the recent, locally publicised ‘town logo’ competition to help furnish both the site and the township with a stronger sense of identity.
The KPA also received a grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR), covered in previous NOTA articles, which has allowed them to hire a Newcastlebased professional web designer, Jezweb Design, to efficiently produce the town website.
Management of the site and updates will
be mitigated by Karuah Progress Association, which will train several members in the updating and editing processes.
The web developer will also assist in training members and if/when required, can also support in maintenance and updates, with all costs to be managed by the Karuah Progress Association.
Community and business interests are welcome to visit the site or contact the KPA about registering their service, and help the site grow as quickly as possible.
Small modular reactors are a
for now
By Aaron SHELDRICK, AAP
SMALL modular reactors won't be fully commercially available till the late 2040s at least, an independent grouping of Australia's top technologists says.
Amid the public debate that erupted when the federal opposition announced its nuclear policy in June, the learned academy has released a report examining the reactors from a technology and engineering standpoint and found them wanting.
"They are a chimera at the moment," Katherine Woodthorpe, president of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering, told AAP in an interview.
"They are not something today, where we could buy one and put one in and have it add any value to what we are trying to do in terms of reducing our carbon emissions," she said.
While there is bipartisanship on reaching net zero emissions by 2050, there are stark contrasts in how to get there, with the coalition pledging to build nuclear reactors and the government focusing on renewables and energy storage, with backup from gas plants.
Coalition Leader Peter Dutton announced the uncosted nuclear strategy in June, flagging reactors at coal power station sites in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
The policy was met with howls of protests from many quarters, including state premiers and Indigenous leaders.
Small modular reactors, or SMRs, are being bandied about by nuclear proponents as a ready-made solution to providing consistent power supplies and cutting emissions at the same time.
These reactors would typically generate less than 300 megawatts of electricity, while standard nuclear reactors usually have capacity of around 1,000 megawatts, similar in size to an average coal plant.
The academy's report found the least risky option for Australia, if it chose to build small modular reactors, would be to wait until several models have been established and are operating in other OECD countries.
q As
But that situation won't emerge for decades.
"Assuming successful prototype trials, licensed vendor supported commercial releases could occur during the late 2030s to early 2040s and a fully formed market could emerge in the late 2040s," the report says.
It assessed fourteen prototypes being developed in OECD countries and found that none of them had reliable estimates of development and running costs.
"The capital and operating cost claims promoted by developers vary, and could be
considered highly speculative as they have not been demonstrated or tested," according to the report.
These considerations are important for the public to understand the viability of a technology that will be in place for decades if taken up, Dr Woodthorpe says.
"We wanted to particularly tackle [the issue] that small modular reactors are being thrown around as some sort of panacea and we wanted to talk about what they are, how they work, are they ready and could we have one tomorrow."

Gardens Lions volunteers fed the masses at the Jayco Newcastle Customer Appreciation Weekend, held at Reflections Jimmys Beach Holiday Park on the weekend of 26-28 July.
Close to 200 people, mainly families and motorhome enthusiasts, descended upon the park, enjoying the Lions’ famous barbecue rissoles, steaks, chicken and snags, all paid for by Jayco Newcastle and sourced from local businesses.
The customer appreciation weekend went ahead, despite the rain and cold, creating a warm and glowing atmosphere that everyone could enjoy in the heart of winter.
Families gathered around the open fire pits, and relished the complementary food while enjoying each other’s company in a scene from
some pre-smartphone dream.
“Jayco Newcastle runs this event three or four times a year for the past decade, this being the 38th event, and we have a good relationship with Reflections, but also visit other parks up and down the coast,” Jayco Newcastle General Manager Peter Costello told NOTA.
“We want to do
things that celebrate our customers in the local/ Hunter region, and need locations that have the space for a large gathering like this, which can also still be used in the winter,” explained Jayco Newcastle’s event organiser, Rachel.

Stinker’s Fishin’: Nowhere better
By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE
I LAUNCHED ‘Stinkpot’ off Kiddies Corner early last week after persistent westerly winds had flattened the sea.
Calm water means no snapper for me so I decided to troll a lure off the Outer Light in the hope of catching a tailor or bonito.

As I looked towards Broughton Island, I took the time to think just how incredible this place is.
The chain of islands from Fingal to Seal Rocks is a view equal to or better than anything I have ever seen.
I wonder if those of us, fortunate enough to live
here, really appreciate the place. Then a cracker tailor whacked the lure, waking me out of my dreamtime. So, what is biting?

Matildas earn amazing 6-5 comeback triumph over Zambia
By Ian CHADBAND, AAP
MICHELLE Heyman has proved the never-say-die Matildas' late, late hero, scoring their 90th-minute winner as they scrapped to a 6-5 victory over Zambia in one of the most extraordinary Olympic soccer matches ever played.
Trailing 5-2 after 56 minutes in Nice on Sunday, Tony Gustavsson's side delivered a thunderous comeback to earn the madcap victory that's taken their Olympic dream out of intensive care.
At times they looked perfectly lost at the Allianz Riviera Stadium, thanks largely to a wonderful performance from the great Zambian striker Barbra Banda, who scored her third Olympic hat-trick, including a showstopper after just 40 seconds.
But with the Zambian defence a shambles for long spells, the Matildas kept believing.
First-half headers from Alanna Kennedy and Hayley Raso, an own goal from the hopelessly erratic Zambian keeper Ngambo Musole after
the break, and two late strikes from lion-hearted captain Steph Catley set up the sweet finale.
And it felt fitting that 36-year-old Heyman, a shining symbol of resilience and belief after retiring from international soccer five years ago, should win the day off the bench.
The super-sub kept a cool head in the 90th minute to slot home after being freed by a superb Catley assist with the Zambian defence nowhere.
"We gave it our all and we never gave up. We want that medal," Heyman told Channel
9 afterwards.
"I just wanted to get on that field and give it my all. I really want that medal, and I'll do anything to bring it home.
“I'm just so proud to be part of it."
Gustavsson punched the air.
Never mind the indifferent performance; all he cared about after their 3-0 defeat by Germany three nights earlier in Marseille was the priceless win.
Any other result would surely have condemned them to an early group B exit, and that could still
happen if they lose to USA on Wednesday in Marseille, a distinct possibility after the way they were ripped apart by Zambia's two US-based superstars, Banda and twogoal Racheal Kundananji.
For Banda, it was particularly cruel, after a majestic display that started when she turned away from Clare Hunt in an instant and struck a belter from 25 metres that dipped over Mackenzie Arnold and in off the crossbar.
Kennedy equalised quickly when, unmarked, she headed home Catley's free-kick, but Kundunanji
Aussies see red as rugby bronze goes begging

GUTTED coach John Manenti hopes he saw the path for future success as his beaten Australians sat on the sideline for an Antoine Dupont Olympic rugby sevens masterclass in France.
A Dupont-inspired France took gold over Fiji after Australia, into the semi-finals for the first time, lost both their games on Saturday to finish fourth.
Australia led Fiji 7-0 in the semi-final before halftime but barely touched the ball again in a 31-7 loss.
A man down, Australia threatened an incredible comeback, only for South Africa to score after the siren and win their bronze medal match 26-19.
Two-time defending
champions Fiji then tasted their first loss in Olympic competition in a pulsating final, French 15-a-side captain Dupont scoring twice and setting up another in a 28-7 triumph.
Manenti and his side sat on the carpeted athletics track to soak in that masterclass from one of the code's best, the coach able to look ahead to Brisbane's 2032 Games while wondering what could have been.
"We are not funded as a gold medal program and that's what we're trying to get to," he said.
"Hopefully the powers that be can see we're in that echelon, fighting for a medal here on a shoestring budget.
"Staff, players, add a bit to it.
"It's LA (2028) into
Brisbane and I'd like to think we can do what the French have just done.
"They've been building... I would have loved to have played them, even for bronze.
"Amazing atmosphere, Antoine Dupont: holy moley, what a player."
Australia were blown away by Fiji but hung tough against South Africa despite similar adversity.
Defending for the first five minutes, Australia scored first and then at 7-7 were called back from an attacking position for a knock-on that replays suggested never happened.
A pass that appeared well forward led to another South Africa try and, in between, captain Nick Malouf was rightfully red-carded for a high tackle.
beat Arnold with a cute leftfooted angled shot, drawing applause from the watching Prince Albert of Monaco, before the Matildas' keeper also had a shocker with a poor clearance punch that Banda pounced on to slot home.
Raso pulled one back from Kyra Cooney-Cross's corner, but when Emily van Egmond tried to clear her lines just before halftime, the ball rebounded off Banda into the net for 4-2.
Crisis point came when Kundananji glanced Banda's free-kick after the break, but with Heyman, one of a triple substitution from Gustavsson, immediately delivering a goalmouth back heel that ended up being bundled into her own net by Musole, it was back to 5-3. Caitlin Foord had a goal ruled out after VAR ruled Heyman fouled Musole, but Catley got the real gift when her tame free-kick went straight through the hapless keeper's hands. Foord was then ruled by VAR to have been fouled in the box, with Catley coolly equalising from the spot to make it 5-5, before Heyman took the glory in this monumentally mad affair.
At 19-7 and down to six men it looked like game over, but they scored the next two tries to level at 19-19.
Dietrich Roache missed the tough conversion and Australia were unable to secure the next restart Shaun Williams flew down the left wing to break Australian hearts after the siren.
"Tough; we fought so hard to get back in the game,"
Manenti said.
"A couple of calls were pretty tough... that knock-on, that's a big play.
"A big turning point and we know people will make mistakes but you don't like to see them at this level
"But we can't change it... the guys played their hearts out."

Messy Elections
ELECTIONS are brewing and already the dogs have started barking.
The election antics we are viewing from the UK, France and USA have started conversations locally about what we might expect.
Voting is not compulsory in the
United Kingdom, with elections operating on a first-past-the-post system where candidates can be elected with only 25 to 30 percent of the votes delivered.
In France, when a positive result of 50 percent or more is not reached in the first round, another vote follows in order to achieve a majority result.
In the recent French election we saw an initial move to political right and far right candidates.
However, in the next round voters selected left of centre candidates.
This all looks to be very messy to those watching from afar.
The UK meanwhile has ditched its Conservative government.
Voters went for anyone who wasn’t Conservative, resulting in a win for the Labor Party and victories
of office.
It highlights what is achievable, what the priorities are and how services and projects will be resourced.

DEAR Jasminda,
I HAVE a new puppy and I recently took him to Puppy School.
I feel as though the woman running it took an instant dislike to my dog.
She said the breed was known to misbehave.
When we were told to let the dogs play together, my boy got a bit boisterous and had to be removed from the floor.
I don't know if I want to go back, but I want my dog to be socialised.
Alana P.
Dear Alana,
PUPPY school is a bit like preschool.
There's the kid who hides behind his parents then sobs when they leave, there's the child with advanced socialisation skills who forms a friend group in the first five minutes.
Then there's the kid who is a bit of a
for independents and some far right candidates.
To many observers both the UK and French results looked messy, but the USA’s presidential election looks even messier.
Then in September it will be the voters of NSW who will be required to select local government councillors.

bully, chucking sand and pelting his new friends with bean bags. There is also the next generation of road ragers, hooning around on three-wheel cycles and tailgating toddlers.
It sounds to me as though you have a hooner/bully in dog form, which is fine when your puppy is playing with others of the same breed and temperament, but a nightmare when it is in a group with a sooky Maltese Terrier and an aloof Whippet.
There are certain dog breeds that have strength and dexterity from a very young age.
They aren't intentionally mean, they just want to share their exuberance with others who may not be as keen.
The other problem here is the judgy trainer.
No one wants their pup to be the one designated as the class bully.
Perhaps you could ask around your local community for other people who have pups from similar robust breeds.
You could then have get-togethers at the local dog park until your dogs learn some basics such as sit, stay, down, and 'Barbarian, please remove Petunia's fluffy foot from your mouth or there'll be no pig ears for morning tea.'
Carpe diem, Jasminda.
higher population areas of Taree and Forster will elect the majority, if not all, of the councillors.
Federal elections are also approaching, with the government having the power to call the election any time after August.
It must be held by May 2025.
That leaves our NSW state election, a four-year fixed term event, which is not due until March of 2027.
I can’t help but think how messy this all looks but I just hope we get through it better than the big guys are doing.

The public debate about offshore wind
DEAR News Of The Area,
I WOULD like to congratulate the NOTA for trying to present all sides of the arguments around issues that potentially affect our community.
Not all media is as balanced.
I recently tried to join the Facebook group that is strongly against offshore wind energy locally.
I did this to better understand the arguments being made against the proposal, which the Coalition Government introduced into Federal Parliament, and legislated for, in 2021.
I have now read the rules governing members of this Facebook group.
These expressly forbid any comments or posts that are supportive of offshore energy development, or present information that
supports an alternative view and challenges the allegations being made on the Facebook site.
So much for any commitment to free speech and an informed public debate!
Regards, Gordon SUTCLIFFE, Hawks Nest

THE Myall River Hawks U-15 girls tackle team played out a tight match against the Muswellbrook Rams at home on Myall Park on Saturday 28 July.
The Hawks embarked on a sustained attack from the get-go.
The first try of the game came soon for the Hawks’ #6, who brushed off three defenders as she zig-zagged from the centre to the left side and scored.
Solid defence from both sides kept the ball around the middle third of the field for a period, including the Hawks #4 making some good tackles on bigger opponents.

defence let two Muswellbrook tries through, as the determination of the visiting side shone through, who took the field with only
The Hawks’ inability to score again before half-time was completely outshone by their second half efforts, which saw their #13 take the ball, glide past defenders, and dive in for her first try of the game, before kicking the conversion herself.
The ensuing kickoff resulted in Hawks’ #6 dodging multiple Muswellbrook players, and grounding the ball at the base of the uprights, setting up another comfortable
conversion.
She soon found another gap to scoring another try, which was converted again by #13.
Muswellbrook began to claw their way back however, with a try in the far right corner.
The Hawks' #13 then performed her signature duck-and-weave manoeuvre to cross the line for her second try of the game, then convert it.
With mere minutes to go, Muswellbrook scored another try, but chose to forgo the conversion in favour of saving time to make another run at the tryline, as it was the only
way they might bridge the Hawks’ lead of 28-24.
The Hawks kept them back off the line, but with seconds left before the siren, the Rams battered through the line and managed to score close to the posts.
The ensuing conversion sailed through the posts, and the Rams were ultimately victorious, 2830.
All spectators agreed it was an awesome game, and the Hawks girls should not feel disheartenedtheir scoreline was much, much closer than the last engagement, and they have done very well this season.
q Runners Up Sue Nicholson and Marcia Smith receiving their prize from Nathaniel from Mumm’s.
Di Bowes scored a birdie 2 on the 5th with a straight drive that rolled to a stop pin high, her first ever birdie in competition.
There were a number of players who scored chip ins
today including Robyn Keegan on the 2nd, Heather McGuinn and Marie Pegram on the 8th, and Marg Bonney on the 6th. Marg’s was a most meritorious chip in, using her 7 iron from 71 metres out to
put the ball away cleanly. Kay Webb had the best trick shot of the day from behind the bunker on the 6th, when her ball skipped 4 times through the sand before stopping out on the fairway.
There was a lot of cheering from the group after this shot! Well done to all our winners and participants today, see you next Thursday for Lady Vets Golf.

SATURDAY
STORAGE WARS
7MATE, 7pm
Boisterous and totally overblown, this over-the-top reality series is the cream of the genre. Brimming with suspense and silly theatrics, whether it’s scripted or not (hint: it totally is), it hits the mark as a very entertaining distraction. If you are yet to succumb to its simple allure, it follows a crew who earn their crust by bidding on abandoned Californian storage containers, without knowing what treasure or trash lurks inside. The high drama kicks in when the padlock is broken and the lockers’ innards are revealed.

RICK STEIN’S FOOD STORIES
SBS FOOD, 7.30pm
After 15 episodes of delectable and interesting cuisine, cooking of foodies, we really should be thoroughly sated. But there’s something about chef Rick Stein’s heartfelt enthusiasm and hunger to understand and taste the smorgasbord that is the British food scene that still leaves us hankering for more. In tonight’s final, the dishes – carrot tart and a cheese, potato and spinach filo pie, just to get your taste buds tingling – play second fiddle as Stein winds up his gastronomic journey on home soil in the West Country.
