MYALL LAKES MEATS

By Doug CONNOR AFTER a recent diagnosis with a form of incurable cancer called mesothelioma, Tea Gardens local Peter Stenson could have been forgiven for focusing on his own problems. Instead, the Palm Lake Resort resident has spent September raising vital funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Mesothelioma can sit dormant for decades and is usually diagnosed in people who have worked with asbestos. Peter had the idea to begin fundraising whilst at the hospital to undergo his first round of chemotherapy. “I was sitting having chemo in the oncology unit at Lake Macquarie and I looked around and I just thought, these people here are doing it heaps tougher than me,” Peter said. “There was a woman there receiving treatment

who was pregnant. “Can you imagine if that was your wife or girlfriend and she is going through the cancer treatment while pregnant? I just kept thinking that would be the worst thing.” Peter then saw a post about the Starlight Foundation’s Tour de Kids pop up on Facebook. The tour de Kids is a multi-day cycling event where entrants choose their distance and fundraising goal, completing their kilometres throughout the month of September to raise money to support sick children. “I thought it was pretty cool. I am in my

late seventies, while those kids may not even live to see seven. I thought it would be good if I could help kids like that, just to put a smile on their face. “I thought ‘I can do this’. I signed up and away we went,” he said. Peter faced the added challenge of fitting in his cycling around his therapy and treatment schedule. “I said I could do 200km in the month, because I had to do it in between chemo treatments and therapies and those sorts of things, in the end I had about 14 days to actually do the kilometres. “I aimed to raise $500 but I didn’t think I’d get it.” Peter quickly smashed past his initial fundraising goal, and at the time of writing has raised close to $4000. “Most of the donations are from people

inside Palm Lake, probably at least eighty percent. How good are these people?” said Peter. Whilst completing his kilometres, Peter was supported by a group of friends he calls his ‘Peloton’, many of whom have a personal connection to this particular fundraising cause. “We maybe wouldn’t have made it to the finish in the Tour de France but got over the line in the Tour de Kids. “Of all the people who do most of the riding with me, there is only one person who hasn’t been affected by cancer in some way.” Peter told News Of The Area he had enjoyed the challenge. “It was just determination. I had to do this. “It’s been good, it’s been a bit of fun and for me it’s been a bit of hard work at times.” After reaching 203 kilometres, Peter completed his last ride on September 23, to get some much-needed rest before resuming his own treatment. He remains optimistic about the future. “It’s all right. I know I am going to get through to the other side of the initial 12-months that the oncologist gave me, and I’ll make it at least another five years. I will be happy with that,” said Peter.

Boating Benefits Health and Wellbeing

Phone: 4997 0250

By Marian SAMPSON THE benefits of recreational boating have been assumed for decades, now they have been proven. A study from internationally renowned and award-winning marine biologist, Dr Wallace Nichols, has revealed that boating delivers significant physiological and psychological benefits. His work includes research into the vast cognitive, emotional, psychological, social, physical, and spiritual benefits that can be associated with time on or around the water. Through his research, Dr Nichols has identified that the mere sight and sound of water promotes wellness by lowering cortisol, increasing serotonin and inducing relaxation. Dr Nichols research suggests that being on the water promotes physiological and psychological benefits that help manage trauma, anxiety, sleep, autism, addiction, fitness, attention/focus, stress, grief, PTSD, build personal resilience, and much more. This means that now when it is more important than ever, we may be able to improve our mental health and wellbeing simply by getting down to the water's edge, and taking in the sights and sounds or jumping on a boat. On boats the feel-good hormones (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin) go up, while stress (cortisol) goes down. “Being on a boat is one of the best ways to access the wellness benefits of the water,” said Dr Nichols. Fiona Brown of YOUtopia Wellbeing in Port Stephens told News Of The Area, “I often have coaching sessions with my clients sitting by the water or walking along the beach. “They seem better able to delve deeper and be more open and honest with themselves. The ocean is the perfect metaphor to support change,” said Brown. Local skipper and international travelling yachtswoman Cherylle Stone said, “Boating, like life, is a very mixed bag. “It can be quite stressful, if there is a threat to life and boat integrity. “Boats can be quite demanding creatures in terms of maintenance and financial input. “All that said, I get a great deal of satisfaction from sailing in all its guises and enjoy the challenge of keeping my vessel seaworthy. “I agree that when I am sailing, I am 100% focused on that activity to the exclusion of all else, whether that be positive or negative. “For me it is probably a form of mindfulness and it is certainly good for my soul,” said Stone. Good Health is being celebrated during National Boating Week that runs through until

There is a lot of media coverage on the current strain being placed on the family law court system. Families are waiting for 2 to 3 years to have a Judge finally determine their matters. Not all matters need to go to court though. At Mullane & Lindsay we look at other options which are available, and suitable, to your particular circumstance. One of those options is Arbitration. Arbitration is a process in which parties present arguments and evidence to an Arbitrator, who then makes a determination to resolve the dispute. In family law, the Arbitrator must: be a legal practitioner; be an Accredited Specialist in Family Law, or have practiced primarily in family law for at least 5 years; and have undertaken training and accreditation in Arbitration. Currently, only financial matters can be arbitrated; it is not available for parenting

www.newsofthearea.com.au

matters. The benefits of Arbitration is that an Arbitrator must deliver the Arbitral Award within 28 days of the conclusion of the Arbitration. The award can then be registered with the Family Court, at which time it takes effect as a court order. While the Court retains power to reverse or vary the award in certain (warranted) circumstances, the parties will generally be able to resolve their dispute much quicker than if they were engaged in drawn out litigation. The Family Law Courts are actively promoting the availability of Arbitration, and have set up a Specialist National Arbitration list so parties needing court directions to facilitate their Arbitration or register awards can receive early attention.

THE Country Women’s Association (CWA) in Bulahdelah continues to support local causes and organisations with two new community donations. Bulahdelah Central School (BCS) received $600 to contribute to their School to Work Go Getters program. The money has been allocated towards a special feature tree and additional planting at the school’s new gardening project. “A huge thank you to the Bulahdelah CWA for the generous donation to our School to Work Go Getters program,” BCS posted on their Facebook page. “Your support is greatly appreciated.” CWA Bulahdelah secretary, Kylie Paar, said that the school was having a plaque made which would list all the club’s members and be placed in the completed garden as an

Girvan Rural Fire Brigade calls for members

Girvan Rural Fire Brigade – operational for more than six decades – nearly disbanded late last year due to declining membership.

By Ashley CHRYSLER

GIRVAN Rural Fire Brigade – operational for more than six decades – nearly disbanded late last year due to declining membership. Since then, the Brigade has been able to fill some of the required field and administrative positions to save their station from closure. “We’re in critical need of abled bodies who can attend fire calls, but that there are also non-operational positions available,” said Phil Hughes, Group Captain at Girvan Rural Fire Brigade. “It’s volunteer so it’s very flexible in terms of commitment.” “Family comes first so if you get a call and you’re not free, we look for someone else.” The first step of the process is a membership application including 100 points of identification and an induction. There’s then an online training element, followed by practical training which involves things such as operating hoses, pumps and more, until both the trainer and trainee feel comfortable with their knowledge and abilities. The trainee is then assessed by an external RFS member before officially joining the crew. “We have around four active members at the moment which is very low,” said Mr Hughes. “We’d ideally like to have around 12 members.” Mr Hughes said that some members are retirees looking for something interesting to occupy their time, while others are still working full or part-time and volunteering out of interest in the job itself. “You’re helping the community and feel like a real essential part of it.” “It happens all the time – we arrive in the middle of nowhere to save houses from bushfires which is so rewarding.” “You also get a mateship out of it – making friends everywhere you go.” If you live local to the Girvan area and are interested in volunteering with the Girvan Rural Fire Brigade, please contact Group Captain Phil Hughes at 0427787090 or phuse56@tpg.com.au. There will also be a drop in meeting on October 1 at 7pm at the station on 9 Nugra Lane.

From 28 September, businesses must meet the turnover test and submit their declarations by the 14th of each month. There will be two new payment rates – one for those who work more than 20 hours per week in the relevant period, and another for those who work less. The employee eligibility date has also changed to 1 July, meaning some businesses could claim for more staff. It’s part of our plan to keep business in business, and Australians in jobs.

Federal Government Invests In Regional Caravan and Camping Port Stephens and the Myall are set to boom in the wake of COVID-19 if we get our tourism offering right for the grey nomads and families that will be holidaying in Australia while the rest of the world is off limits.

By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens and the Myall are set to boom in the wake of COVID-19 if we get our tourism offering right for the grey nomads and families that will be holidaying in Australia while the rest of the world is off limits. The Caravan Industry Association of Australia has welcomed the Federal Government's announcement of a $250 million regional Australia package with $150 million specifically for tourism and infrastructure projects to assist regional tourism. Caravanning and camping allows tourists to ‘control their own environment’, and the industry is poised to help in the immediate recovery of regional tourism

as caravanners and campers travel further and for longer as Australians look to explore our own backyard. Visitor expenditure by caravanning and camping tourists already contributes over $10 billion annually with a significant amount of this dispersed across regional and rural Australia, supporting local jobs and contractors. Caravan Industry Association of Australia CEO Stuart Lamont said, “The Tourism Industry has been savaged through a winter of COVID off the back of a summer of bushfires. “While we have seen recent green shoots in concentrated regions, many tourism industry businesses (and those businesses which rely on tourism) continue to be on their knees.

“We are in a feast or famine situation at present with some of our most significant tourism regions hardest hit with the challenges of 2020.” “With many of Australia’s tourism icons located in the regions, and international travel off the cards for some time yet, today’s announcement is a significant boost for domestic tourism, while encouraging the development of important tourism infrastructure which will underpin the industry when normal travel returns,” he said. The Caravan Industry Association of Australia’s is calling for shovel ready tourism projects to be supported in regional Australia. These projects will not only introduce or upgrade

important long-term assets but will encourage the use of local contractors, local accommodation, and the use of local services during construction. With caravan and camping in 2019 being the number one commercial accommodation provider in regional Australia, the announcement provides some level of optimism for operators still reeling from huge losses from touring markets. Developing experiences such as the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary gives regions a unique point of difference which could be the reason why caravanners choose to visit a region. Port Stephens Council’s Kim Latham told News Of The Area, “Accommodation

q Port local Chontelle Grecian and her family enjoying the dunes at Port Stephens during a camping trip. The family is planning a caravanning trip to Queensland once border restrictions ease.

at the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary is at 80% for the first weekend and that is before we have started marketing the glamping experience.” Port Stephens and the Myall sit in a unique position only a short drive from the cities of Sydney and Newcastle. They offer a beachside holiday with attractions which include hinterland, coastal as well as gastronomic tourism, with the additional bonus of day trips into the Hunter Valley for tourists. Our fauna and flora is accessible with dingos in Mungo Brush, koalas in Hawks Nest, Tilligerry and

the Bay not to mention kangaroos, echidnas, and our native birdlife. There are a host of caravan and camping sites around Port Stephens and the Myall that cater to individuals needs, time and desired experience. It is hoped that more infrastructure projects in the region will be invested through this fund. The Tomaree Coastal Walk is one project which is already funded, which enhances the destination for those wishing to either engage in the entire trek or simply enjoy sections of the coastline from Tomaree Headland south.

Threatened shorebirds tracked

q NSW Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean speaking about the koala habitat protection with Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer looking on. Photo by Marian Sampson.

NSW Environment Minister Weighs In On Koala Habitat By Marian SAMPSON IN recent weeks there has been an increased focus on the future of 52 hectares of core koala habitat at Brandy Hill. The decision as to whether this land can be cleared and mined now sits with the Federal Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley. The plight of the koala has never been so dire. WWF Australia tells us that a parallel analysis, released in March, found the New South Wales koala population has suffered a decline of between 33% and 61% since 2001, with a conservative estimate of 6382 koalas killed in the 2019-20 bushfires up to 13 February. This puts the koala population in NSW at risk of extinction by 2050 unless drastic action is taken to protect the species now. Australian celebrities Olivia Newton John and Jimmy Barnes are lending their names and adding their pleas to those of locals asking the Federal Minister for the Environment, Sussan

Ley, to stop the mine and to save the koala habitat. NSW Environment Minister, Matt Kean, was in Port Stephens this week and spoke to the need to protect koala habitat in NSW. Matt Kean said, “We know there are a number of threats to koalas the loss and fragmentation of habitat is of great concern and the encroachment of development on koala habitat and as far as I am concerned as Environment Minister we should be doing everything possible to protect koala habitat. “That’s why I am expanding and fortifying National Parks right across New South Wales but there is a lot more to do and I intend to do it. “I think we should be doing everything we can to protect koala habitat and koala populations. “The loss and fragmentation of koala habitat is the number one threat to koalas. “My message to the Federal Environment Minister is that you should be looking very closely at

the Brandy Hill decision,“ he said. Member for Port Stephens and Shadow Minister for the Environment, Kate Washington, told News Of The Area, “What we have to do that is so important is to protect koala habitat. Right now we have a threat to Port Stephens koalas and their ability to survive as a species and that’s at Brand Hill. We need to do everything we can to make sure that that critical habitat isn’t bulldozed. “We have an amazing community campaign underway and the voices that have joined that campaign are so amazing, Olivia Newton John, Jimmy Barnes, and Magda Szubanski, and there’s more to come. “We need to make sure that Sussan Ley understands that extinction is not acceptable,” she said. Ron Land from Port Stephens Koalas believes that if the mine goes ahead koalas from the site will end up in care at the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary.

HUNTER Local Land Services (LLS) is calling on visitors to the Hunter and Port Stephens estuaries to watch out for threatened shorebirds, with new signs installed across the region highlighting key feeding and nesting sites as part of a major tracking and protection program. Funded by the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program, the project is identifying threats to shorebirds and developing strategies to protect them including research, habitat restoration and community engagement. Shorebirds, also known as waders, are a group of long-legged birds that live on the fringes of lakes, estuaries and coastlines feeding on worms and crustaceans. Reegan Walker, Senior

Project Officer with Hunter LLS, said that many people don’t realise that there are so many threatened shorebird species in the region. “There are five threatened shorebirds species that travel to the Hunter and Port Stephens estuaries every year from their Arctic breeding grounds. “Incredibly, researchers have recorded non-stop flights of around 9000km during these journeys,” said Mr Walker. The project is funding the installation of a largescale radio tracking system to provide highly accurate 24hour information detailing shorebird movements within each estuary, the first such system in Australia. “Migratory shorebirds come here with one key objective: to gain enough weight to sustain them on their long flight back to their breeding ground. “They must eat as much as possible, and when not eating, they must rest to conserve their energy,” said Mr Walker.

“We are working with the University of Newcastle to find out exactly where these birds are feeding and resting, so we can ensure those sites are properly managed.” Hunter Local Land Services and partner organisations are asking recreational visitors to the Port Stephens and Hunter estuary areas to look out for shorebirds either feeding or resting, and to give them a wide berth to avoid disturbing them from these crucial activities. “We’ve worked with MidCoast Council, Port Stephens Council and the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service to install fifteen shorebird identification signs at key visitor locations across the region.” “The signs provide images of different shorebird species and information detailing their long journey back to the Arctic to breed,” said Mr Walker.

OPINION

READING: Psalm 42: 5 - "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed with me? Put your HOPE in God for I will yet praise Him, my Saviour and my God." Blessings from Lynne Miles

Imagine if you were born in 2000 DEAR News Of The Area, SCHOOL children 'wagging’ school recently, because they are educated enough to understand the implications, ‘Planetary’, of the IPCC’s Reports and Recommendations? Our Politicians will be saying “a bit farfetched”. Let’s all raise a chunk of coal high in salute that someone who did in our Federal

Parliament? As much as that didn’t work, the same individual is now declaring, “Gas is our saviour, how good is that?” By my reckoning, Janet’s (Letter, NOTA, 24 Sept 2020) number is 451 million (dead) related to Natural and ‘Man Made’ causes between 1900 and now. Possibly an underestimate. I would dearly appreciate having her provide her ‘Forward Projection’ (dead) for 2100.

Mr Ethan S,

Dear Mr ES,

Naming a baby is fraught. All babies are adorable, but what you name your little bundle of joy may not suit them when they are a six-foot-tall, hirsute rugby player, so go for a name they can grow into. All of us end up with nicknames at some point and these may or may not be derivative of what is on our birth certificate. I get Jazzy or Jazz. Since my surname is Featherlight, I also get Heavy in that weird way Australians have of naming things their opposite. Some nicknames come from something we are well known for, or perhaps a striking feature, or a personality trait. A lot of nicknames are just surnames with ‘y’ added to the end, which is okay if your last name is Brown or Finn or Jones, but a bit fraught if your strapping lad has the surname Fann or Loop or Fair. Another fun game kids enjoy is to swap the first letter of first names and surnames, a pastime that caused many sleepless nights for poor little Freddy Tuck. Let’s use politicians as a case in point for nicknames. For shortened name versions we need look no further than ScoMo and BoJo. Trump has more nicknames than policies and these are a mix of his perceived actions and his unfortunate looks: Fake President, Traitor Trump, Cheatin’ Donald, Agent Orange, Little Hands, President Spanky, and on it goes. Tony Abbott was nicknamed The Mad Monk, for his early priestly aspirations and growing bald patch. Barnaby Joyce was nicknamed The Beetrooter due to his ruddy complexion and for taking office public relations a step too far. Be very careful to look at the match between first and second names. Something not considered by the parents of E.C. Lay, O. Men and Y. Nott. Apparently the guardians of Elle Vator, Etta Lott, Sarah Tonin and Richard Face didn’t give it a lot of thought either. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

MYALL COASTNews Of The Area Forty Years On STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 16 Over those 40 years, Jan and Tony have achieved 100% patrol attendance and represented the SLSC at countless Branch, State, National and International Surf Lifesaving Championships, continuing to bring home a swag of medals. Tony has won 115

www.newsofthearea.com.au

awards and Jan has won 96 surf lifesaving awards. Although ‘The Logies’ are always mentioned together, they are staunchly independent people who have contributed to surf lifesaving in their individual ways over their years of service to our local community. For Jan, the award is

a fitting way to celebrate 40 years of women in surf lifesaving this year. Jan was one of the first females in Australia to gain her Bronze Medallion all those years ago. She is a wonderful role model for so many members of the club and branch. For many years Jan held

the position of Club Captain and District Supervisor, ensuring all patrol groups were on the beach keeping the community safe. Tony has also held many club committee positions including Secretary, IRB Captain and, more recently, Club President. Surf Life Saving historian Chris Conrick stated, “Tony is a club stalwart, a virtual one-

Dot Dallas. Dawn and Dot scored 9 points over the next 4 ends, winning the match 16 v11. Lyn Nightingale and Kayelene Pearson 7 all on the 11th end v Ingrid Luck and Pat Baker. Lyn and Kayelene gained 12 shots over 5 ends and claimed victory 19 v 9. Leona Clissold and Jan Coomer started strongly and never looked back, defeating Sue Morris and Sheril Johnson 23 v 8. An evenly matched contest on the next Rink between Dawn May and Jill McBride 13 v Bev Rhodes and Jeanette

Emmett 12. The winners on the day winning "with the lowest margin" were Jill and Dawn. Moving on to the Major Triples Bette Saillard, Robyn Webster and Dale Winter v Sheila Rattray, Deyonne Page and Robyn Beaumont. Dale's team were down by 5 shots on the 9th end, then 10 all on the 13th by the 17th end they had a lead of 9 shots, 19 v 10. Robyn's team hadn't given up hope, winning the next 4 ends but falling short of victory by 1 shot, score 19 v18. Jean Glover, Loretta Baker

and Maynie Roberts took the lead early against Lynda Richards, Judi Polak and Karen McPhie eventually winning 18 v15. Thanks to Sandra Leisemann for Umpiring. Dale Winter was the raffle winner, TGWBC greatly appreciated the Myall Bistro & Café for their donation of the raffle prize. Thursday 24th September: Round 2 Triples Competition, 3 games played. Bette Saillard, Robyn Webster and Dale Winter proved to be too strong an opposition for Dorothy Thompson, Wendy Jones and Sheril Johnson winning on the 19th end 24 v 11.

man carnival who competes in just about anything going.” Over their patrolling years Jan and Tony have been involved in countless rescues and first aid treatments. They have educated and assessed hundreds of club members in surf lifesaving, a job they continue to do for the betterment of the club today. Together and individually Jan and Tony display

exemplary commitment to Surf Life Saving and demonstrate an enduring work ethic of the highest order. They are exceptional surf life savers and role models who are held in the highest esteem by the lifesaving fraternity. Congratulations Jan and Tony on your 40 year service recognition.

A good win also for Bev Rhodes, Sandra Leisemann and Pat Baker 22 v Jill McBride, Bev Stephens and Judy McGavock 11. Jan Coomer, Dot Dallas and Jeanette Emmett held a 3 shot lead on the 18th end v Irene Roberts, Lorraine Murphy and Kayelene Pearson the score 14 v 11.

"Munchies" is a popular coffee shop and takeaway currently operating breakfast and lunch.

Karuah is currently undergoing growth

in land releases and new residences being built. The current owners enjoy a good income, but if you were looking to expand - potential exists to create synergies with the local motels, golf clubs, schools, retirement villages, social clubs, community groups and more. What about "Weekend Pizza" nights or dinner? With only one restaurant in Karuah – there is an opportunity to expand with evening meals. The café area is inviting and comfortable, with tables and chairs, lounges, a slow combustion stove and ceiling fans. Potential exists to accommodate more customers with a simple relocation of room dividers. ‘ An outdoor area allows

for further seating. The shop is fully fire rated, wheelchair friendly and up to code. Solar panels have been added in the last few years, providing approx. 12-15 kw for the building. Upstairs there is a three bedroom apartment, separate lounge and dining area. The kitchen has been recently renovated with an aluminium splash-back and a large window. The bathroom was also renovated; with a rain shower-head, quality tiling and features ‘metal chequered mate’ on the walls. Extras include: timberlook venetians, ceiling fans and split system air conditioning. The current owners have retained as many of the original features as

possible, including polished floorboards throughout and an original ceiling rose. There are views to the

Karuah River and Port Stephens Bay from two of the bedrooms; as well as the living and dining rooms. But the best views are reserved for when you step outside to the deck and take in the river on one side and the Bay from the other. The residence also offers a separate laundry with access to a garden courtyard and plenty of off-street parking. This is a unique offering - Freehold residence - 3 bedrooms, bathroom, and a coffee shop/ restaurant,

office space; all set on approx 855 sqm of land. Enjoy your own business and live in residence or rent out the upstairs apartment. So many opportunities are available. The current owners are flexible and are happy to provide assistance to the new owners.
