Myall Classic returns to Tea Gardens
By Thomas O'KEEFE
A FLEET of sleek paddling vessels marshalled in ANZAC Park in Tea Gardens on Saturday 21 September for the return of the Myall Classic.
A register of 190 racers, powering 135 boats, descended upon Tea Gardens, coming from as far away as Dubbo, Canberra, Armidale, Illawarra and the Sunshine Coast.
One and two-seater kayaks raced alongside stand up paddleboards, a six-person outrigger from Jervis Bay and even a

Myall Classic returns to Tea Gardens
21-person dragon boat
Dubbo, all ready to head up the Myall River on a brilliantly clear spring day, although the early winds were less than desirable.
Watching the paddlers in unison on the bigger boats gave rare insight into ancient mariner life long ago, before motors and steam power could be used to cross great rivers and oceans, as the big outrigger and dragon boat and their respective crews looked ready to head out of the heads and invade a small island nation.
Perturbed pelicans circled high above, or sat on the wharf behind Mumm's to watch, while ospreys soared in the cloudless sky, taking advantage of the winds.
Three races were held - 12km, 27km and 47km - with the latter travelling as far up as Tamboi, just before the Broadwater, and back again.
The 11:11am high tide would help racers up river, but then fight them all the way back down.
Volunteers including three State Emergency Service (SES) units (Foster Pacific Palms, Wingham and Nabiac) offered safety and communications assistance during the event.
“This event has been running for more than ten years,” explained lead organiser Tony Hystek from Lane Cove River Kayakers.
“It was started by locals who have since left the Tea Gardens area, but it was such a good race that I wanted to keep it going.
“The wind was gusty and combined with the wash from some careless power boats made conditions on the return journey more difficult, but still an enjoyable experience overall.
“Hopefully we will have some more
competition for the team boats in next year’s event.”
“The best singles time for the 47km course went to veteran paddler Jason Ware in a time of four hours and six minutes, an excellent result given the conditions.
“Naomi Johnson was the fastest female in a time of four hours and 27 minutes.”
The winners receive ultimate glory, and their names upon the perpetual trophies, their records setting new aims for next year and beyond.
NEWS Of The Area wishes to offer correction to information printed in our 19 September edition.
In the story titled 'Koala film comes to Raymond Terrace' it was stated that a koala documentary would be screened at Scotty's Cinema in Raymond Terrace on 22 September.
Organisers have since clarified the film will screen at Scotty's this Sunday 29 September at 2pm.

May 2022 after taking over management of the nursing home in 2017.
At the time of closure, Cedar Wharf was home to 35 elderly residents who were forced to relocate.
Last week, Stroud Community Lodge announced the purchase of the Bulahdelah facility and plans to reopen it.
“The Board is very pleased to announce the purchase of the Cedar Wharf Lodge Nursing Home in Bulahdelah!” the Stroudbased nursing home group posted to social media.
“We are thrilled at this opportunity to extend
quality care to the ageing members of our rural communities.
“We will keep everyone updated in its progress as we work to reopen the Cedar Wharf Lodge.”
Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie celebrated the move, describing it as the “the right step forward to rebuild aged care and health services in Bulahdelah and the district”.
“Today’s news not only means reopening the Bulahdelah facility, but potentially reshaping the rooms to provide additional individual accommodation for more residents.

A DRAFT plan of management for the Stroud Showground is on public exhibition from 18 September to Sunday 3 November 2024.
The draft plan includes detailed actions that identify management strategies and new proposed facilities for Stroud Showground.
“Stroud Showground is an important social hub for the local community. It is a valuable contributor to the town's economic growth as a visitor attraction and
accommodation site,” said MidCoast Council’s Manager of Strategy and Projects, Amanda Hatton.
“Activities held at this loved site include the annual agricultural show, brick throwing and rolling pin
competition, rodeo and other horse sports, tennis, football, cricket, skateboarding, swimming and recreational camping,” said Ms Hatton.
Facilities include an arena, amenities block, basketball, netball and tennis courts, camping sites, kiosk, pavilions, skatepark, picnic settings, clubhouse, storage shed, BBQ shelter, playground and swimming pool.
The plan of management includes an audit of the current condition of these
There are no actions proposed for the swimming pool as Council has recently completed community consultation on the swimming pool operations and determined outcomes.
Some of the new proposals for the showground include multi sport facilities, a change room facility for sporting teams, parking near new sporting fields and an improved electricity power distribution system.
Three Major Benefits of Mediation in Civil Disputes
by Kristy Nunn
Mediation is encouraged in civil disputes as an effective alternative to litigation. Three major benefits to mediation are:
1. Certainty of Outcome
All litigation has risk. Mediation is an opportunity where the parties can ‘buy out that risk’ by reaching an agreement. To achieve a settlement, compromise is usually required by all parties.
2. Cost-Effective Resolution
One of the primary advantages of mediation is its cost-effectiveness. Court proceedings can be prohibitively expensive, with legal fees, court costs, and other expenses quickly adding up. Mediation, however, typically requires fewer resources and can be completed in a shorter timeframe.
3. Speedier Outcomes
Mediation offers a faster alternative to oftenlengthy court proceedings. Traditional litigation can drag on for months or even years, prolonging the stress and uncertainty for those involved . Mediation conferences, on the other hand, can be scheduled relatively quickly, at a time and place convenient for both parties, and usually conclude in a day.

Motorists warned to look out for echidnas

ECHIDNAS have been spotted around the Myall Coast, with motorists warned to keep an eye out for the small, spiky species on the road.
The spiny monotremes are embarking upon their breeding season (typically June to October), and they travel both day and night to compete for breeding rights, but humans are warned: do not touch, move or redirect them.
“One female will have up to eleven males follow her for as far as they have to, sometimes many kilometres, in a ‘train’, until she turns around and picks a suitor to breed
FRY BROS
with,” explained Nat from Wildlife In Need of Care (WINC).
“They are usually solitary creatures, but this time of year they can be seen following each other in a train, with the female in the lead.
“Never put one in the car, as the only way to get it out is to use a strong hose.
“Their spines are made of tough keratin, which can puncture tyres as well as hurt people, and even thick gloves aren't going to help, so the best action is to just stop and give it a minute to continue the journey.”
The echidna’s primary defence reflex is to tuck up into a big, spiny ball, so approaching one on the road will only delay the process of clearing it of danger.
Echidnas are apparently excellent swimmers, so seeing one along a causeway is not as unusual as it might seem.
The biggest problem is when cars speed down back-roads in excess of posted limits, running the serious risk of hitting the little
ant-eaters, killing an endangered species, not to mention causing some serious damage to the car.
Spring, of course, brings with it the baby bird season, and WINC implores everyone to be intelligent when confronted with our newest avian friends.
“Please do not pick up a baby magpie – if you see one on the ground, they are just learning to fly, which can take up to 30 days, so don't assume it is abandoned,” Nat explained.
“Microbats are active now, just coming out of torpor, so they and the birds will eat more insects.”
A recent case of heartless animal cruelty was also cited in Tea Gardens, in which a female kangaroo was allegedly hit by a car, then deliberately stomped upon by the driver. Kangaroos prefer the drier, less rich grass that grows near the edge of paved roads, as well as the heat the roads discharge after sunset, so motorists are, once again, warned to slow down and remain vigilant.

Garden upgrade for craft centre
By Thomas O’KEEFE
VOLUNTEERS from the Myall Community Art & Craft Centre have begun revitalising the entry to their facility in Tea Gardens.
In an effort to create a better and more inviting entrance, local landscapers and handymen have dug in, literally, to bring life and colour back to the old building front.
“The garden went without management for a while,” explained volunteer and Art & Craft Centre member Rudy Jacobs.
“The grevilleas were overgrowing the roof of the building, causing a water build-up, and leading to the

current dry-rot problem, as well as the hedges obscuring the entrance to the centre.
“Even the overhead signs were not visible, and the Committee agreed that if we would do the work, great!
“So ‘low and colourful’ is the aim.”
Volunteers carefully chose plants which do not need a lot of water and can handle being out in the open sun all day.
“We went for a lot of colour, especially yellows, and will keep the existing hedges low so they do not
block internal daylight,” Rudy said.
During the last few weeks, Rudy, an experienced landscaper, has distributed multiple bags of fertiliser and compost to give the new plants the best chance at taking off.
The Art & Craft Centre was originally located in the middle of the presentday golf course, some 30 years ago, and has moved at least twice, now residing at the back of the Council Chambers building on Myall Street.
It is home to 160 members who pursue

Some locally-made mosaic cylinders have been unearthed during the landscaping work, which are set to be restored and recycled to direct foot traffic into the stairs at the front door of the centre. It is hoped the work will be complete in time for the centre’s next big show, scheduled from 8-10 November.

Complex progress
By Thomas O’KEEFE
CONCRETE progress has been made on Stage 2A of the Myall Park Sports Complex construction, with the new slab laid last week.
Now that the slab is laid and cured, the outer wall can start to be built up, once the concrete building blocks
arrive within the next fortnight.
The new building will house a disabled and unisex toilet, accessible from outside, and an internal meeting room on the fieldside of the structure.
“The big donation from Bruce (Hopkin), and the last $120,000 grant which came via (Port Stephens MP) Kate Washington has helped us to get this done; a special thanks to her for being a big influence on where we are at the moment,” project organiser Dakka told NOTA.
“If she hadn't stepped in from the beginning, it never
would have happened, so the attention to our local area has made the difference.”
The immediate goal is to get 2A to a lockup stage quickly, so that internal features can be done with some security.
Once Stage 2A is finished, Stage 2B is the final step for the Myall Park Complex, and will contain a new change room and showers for the local teams.
“All our local tradies have to make a living, and we have only employed locals on this project,” Dakka said.
“Special thanks also to
Neil Hadfield Concreting, Hunter Readymixed Concrete, Hunter Valley Concrete Pumping, and Reo Weld for helping get to this point.
“Going forth, the project will need another $400,000 to do that, so we are going for government grants for communities and sporting facilities, as well as community fundraising.
“Council can't afford to give us any money, so we are still trying to sell individual blocks: one for $20, or six for $100, and hoping to have the project done by Christmas.”

Sport aerobics superstar
By Thomas O’KEEFE
MATILDA Fidden has won an individual gold medal at the FISAF Australia Sport Aerobics Nationals held on the Gold Coast from 29 August to 1 September.
According to the Federation of International Sport Aerobics and Fitness (FISAF) website, sport aerobics is described as a high-intensity sport that combines traditional aerobics with elements of fitness and dance.
An alumnus of Tea Gardens Public School, where she competed in several sports including taekwondo and cross country, Matilda has been improving on her aerobics skills since she was introduced to the sport at Hunter Valley Grammar School two years ago.
“She won the NSW championships in July, which qualified her for this Nationals event, where she competed for her school
and took out the Juniors Elementary Individuals Final,” Matilda’s dad, Ross, told NOTA.
“After heading to the Nationals last year with a squad, including her sister Lily, Matilda’s standout performance motivated her to try going solo for the first
time this year.”
Sport aerobics is judged on a choreographed routine that comprises a set of elements that all competitors must include, and must complete within exact time limits and physical floor boundaries.
Just fourteen-years-
old, Matilda has high hopes that sport aerobics may be included in the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.
In the meantime however, she will be back competing again next year.
“Matilda is one to accept any challenge, and
Myall River reminiscences
By Anne JOHNSON, Tea Gardens Family Research and Local History Inc.
THE riverside holds a special attraction for most of us.
Over time this area has changed as needs demanded - remnants of a wooden fence barely showing against a formidable rock base remind me of this.
High tides coupled with weather events caused the water to wash over our gravel roads at times.
The fence (pictured) was placed to help hold the banks and as a youngster in the ‘40s
and ‘50s I remember it well.
In 1941 a proposal put to council to build a rock wall had been rejected on account of cost, so the ‘Tea Gardens and District Tourist and Development League’ suggested that to prevent further erosion the work could be carried out using condemned poles and sleepers, with silt from the dredging deposited behind them.
This wall needed to be strengthened again after 1946 and the open drains along the streets needed constant attention.
At king tides the salt water still flows along the drains of Hough and Ogden streets – but now it is well contained.
The slight undulations of the ground do make a difference: the Catholic Church is built on a slight rise whereas the Anglican Church on the corner of Witt and Ogden streets has been subject to flooding in days gone by.
A story written by the late Rex Hill tells of his parents’ wedding held at the Anglican Church on 16 April 1927.
she wants to compete in the non-Elementary, unchoreographed and more demanding categories next year,” Ross added.
Matilda’s training regime involves two gruelling afternoon sessions a week.
“Dad has committed to
picking her up from Maitland so she could train,” Matilda’s sister, Jenna, told NOTA.
“For Matilda, winning was her biggest accomplishment, all her hard work has finally paid off.”
There had been weeks of torrential rain as well as king tides in the river prior to this important occasion – the bridal party and the guests had to use rowing boats to access the church!
Although the floor of the church remained dry, the congregation members had bare feet, ready to return to their boats to attend the reception at the bride’s home, ‘Beulah’, on the riverfront.
The groom’s family could not make the service because the ferry could not cross the raging Karuah River.
This was the same weather event in which Myall Point was washed away, with some houses being lost.
One of these belonged to our Patron, Owen Holbert’s great-grandfather, who then settled on Corrie Island.
Owen’s grandfather settled at Limekilns, where Owen still lives – at that time it was known as Holbert Town.
Over many years the council has constructed rock walls along the banks of the river, most noticeable where the river is deeper and the current stronger at Tea
Gardens.
Some of the rocks strewn along the foreshore are from the ships unloading ballast - an easily seen area is opposite the laundromat.
The house next door to the laundromat was originally Holbert’s Refreshment Rooms – more history!
A feeling of nostalgia comes over me when I see the little jelly blubbers washed up on the shore as they always have been.
So much has changed –much of it for the better.

Stinker’s Fishin’: Mulloway challenge
By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE
MULLOWAY are without doubt one of the most challenging fish in our waterways.
Although rarely seen these days the mighty mulloway can grow to an amazing two metres and weigh over 100kg.
They can be caught from South East Queensland, throughout NSW, SA, VIC and WA (Exmouth Gulf).
The young are referred to as ‘soapies’ in their early development as the texture of their flesh is likened to soap.
In Port Stephens the fish thrives throughout the system and gathers over structures and in deeper water.
Over the years I have reported captures of mulloway along all the beaches, over all the outer reefs and around all the islands.
The most popular sites to target mulloway inside the port include the wreck of the ‘Psyche’ in Salamander Bay and the deep water which surrounds Middle Island.
Methods of catching mulloway have evolved over the years with a move to lures, plastics and vibes away from the more traditional method of live and fresh baits.
My method was to lower a live yellowtail into 60 ft of water as the moon rose over

The Big Screen with Lindsay Hall
By Lindsay HALL
WITHOUT exaggeration friends, this week is one that I have been awaiting for more than a decade.
Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather) sees the release of his magnum opus, Megalopolis, a film that has been more than 40 years in the making.
A passion project from a filmmaker who is responsible for much of the language of modern cinema, Coppola has been in a sort of semiretirement for well over a decade, being famously uninterested working within the constraints of the Hollywood studio system.
This film, however, has been the great, unrealised project of his for so long that he felt it was worth
selling a portion of his family's winery to finance the production himself.
The result is a sciencefiction epic that explores the cost of human societies, and the price we are willing to pay to change them.
Starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, John Voight, Laurence Fishburne and a host of other famous faces keen to get in on this piece of work from one of cinema’s great masters, you can expect a deeply contemplative and emotional experience.
Ramping up the tension this week is Never Let Go, a survival-horror thriller starring Halle Berry from noted French horror director Alexandre Aja.
Years after an unknown
“evil” apparently ended human civilisation, ‘Momma’ lives in a woodland cabin with twin boys Nolan and Samuel (played by Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins), paranoid that the entity will destroy them if they stray from their home.
The trailer makes clear that the film plays with the trope “Who is the real evil?”, as the boys begin to doubt Momma’s sincerity, and the audience will be asking the question “Is the evil all in her mind?”
Aja pulled this trick with his debut feature Haute Tension, but he is capable of handling cliches with a subtle touch, and Berry has always been a supremely adaptable actor.
Sadly, I have the duty to inform you that apparently
we still live in an era when tired internet gags regarding briefly notable celebrities of the 80’s and 90’s are enough to get production greenlit on a feature film, with Zombie Plane making an appearance in maybe one or two cinemas in the country for a week before being shuffled directly to a free streaming service like Tubi or Plex
Vanilla Ice stars as himself (oh good lord) alongside Sophie Monk as herself (really?), with both Chuck Norris and Mike Tyson appearing as themselves in a film based on, insanely, a real life incident about six years old.
Ice was a passenger on a very real flight in the US on which a massive outbreak of influenza caused a major quarantine situation upon
landing in New York.
This film “reveals” the truth - that Vanilla Ice is in fact a government agent trained by Chuck Norris, and the contagion was actually a Zombie virus outbreak, and apparently he teamed up with persistent Aussie celebrities to deal with the crisis.
Will the humour and computer generated gore be worth the price of a ticket? No, almost certainly it will not, but in a free society I am forced to leave that choice to you.
Restoring faith in human creativity, however, is the indie sci-fi comedy drama My Old Ass
On a camping trip with friends Elliot (Maisy Stella) takes mushrooms, but rather than having a psychedelic trip she
“As we did with sharks, I picked up the .303 and shot it.
“Athel was horrified as the potential world record floated limply on the end of his line.
“For some reason he didn’t speak to us again.”
encounters her future self (played by Aubrey Plaza) who takes the opportunity to attempt to offer life advice to her younger self. It may not have simply been the drugs talking, as following an introduction to Chad (Percy Hynes-White) - a boy that future Elliot warned her young self to avoid - young Elliot receives a phone call from her future self, who is determined not to let the mistakes of the past go unaddressed.
Writer and director Megan Park is putting together an exploration of the way we anticipate our life-to-be, alongside the regret we deal with when considering what couldhave-been.
This looks to be a little gem with a lot of humour, some genuine humanity and might even actually have something worth saying.

Gambling the future
THE nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
Money will buy a fine dog but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
This is basically where the debate lies when it comes to gambling and the revenue or taxation it delivers.
So, where would we be without it?
This is the issue the Federal Government is struggling to assess at the present time, and, like most other issues it faces, it’s all about money.
Whilst State Governments are locked into receiving considerable income from stamp duty and taxes on grog and gambling (plus a share of the GST), the federal government is now looking at possible options for gambling reform.
Australia has only half of one percent of the world’s population yet 20 percent of the world’s poker machines.

DEAR Jasminda,
I’VE recently started a new job where I am the manager of some people who are a lot older than I am. They've started making digs about how I have no life experience and how they have degrees from the school of hard knocks.
It is getting to the point where it is becoming unbearable to go to work.
It's my dream job that I've been working towards for a long time.
Help!
Dear Kylie,
Kylie B.

When we spend most of our waking hours at work, it can be devastating to find out that your abilities are being questioned by others.
It happens all the time and it is
It is calculated that we lose A$25 billion each year from punters having a flutter, which makes us the highest per capita losers in the world.
No other nation comes anywhere near those losses.
Research says that seventeen percent of Australians are regular gamblers - you may buy a lottery ticket, put a few dollars into the pokies from time to time, have an online flutter on the football, or lash out
Where is the misinformation?
DEAR News Of The Area,
ON Thursday 5 September in Opinions and Letters, Eugenie Lumbers spoke of misinformation.
No Offshore Turbines Port Stephens (NOTPS) is waiting for someone to please come forward and make it clear exactly what misinformation is allegedly being spread.
Port Stephens MP, Kate Washington, recently spoke in the NSW parliament, labelling as misinformation the fact that every offshore turbine would be 260 metres tall.
In fact, that figure is taken from the responsible federal department website.
The honourable member also said that only one small area of turbines were being constructed. However, seven other offshore investment corporations are in the process of resubmitting applications that would utilise the whole zoned area.
There is genuine misinformation around suggestions that the public has been adequately consulted.
So far, only one public consultation session has been held - at Nelson Bay.
Other talks have been with stakeholders, not the general public.
There has also been plenty of misinformation about whether the hundreds of turbines would be seen from the shore.
Both Federal Minister Chris Bowen and Paterson MP, Meryl Swanson, confirmed in a meeting behind closed doors in late September last year that the turbines would be visible in daylight - and there was no mention back then of all the high intensity red flashing navigational lights at night.
And there is constant misinformation that turbines would act as reefs and create nurseries that attract larger fish.
In fact, scientists have stated there is no data to say that this could occur with floating turbines. In Portugal where there is one floating wind factory (three turbines, 185m tall) fishermen have reported that “the fish simply disappeared”.
The simple fact is that there is no
scientific proof at all, because nowhere else on the planet has established 300 or more anchored floating turbines in any body of water - let alone one that is located directly adjacent one of the busiest ports in the southern hemisphere; in a whale migratory path (apparently the two don’t play well in the sandpit together); and in an area where threatened migratory birds would need to navigate around, through or over the blades.
And that doesn’t even touch on the fact that this is directly off one of the best tourist destinations in Australia that is heavily reliant on people being able to sit on a beach and enjoy an un-industrialised view (save a few moving ships from time to time).
It is logical, not misinformation, to question the impact on local businesses if there is a 15-20 percent drop in trade because families don’t want holiday here.
It’s also fact, not any misinformation, that 90 percent of all flathead that end up in the Sydney fish markets are taken from within the wind turbine zone.
unfortunate that even though companies have clear Codes of Conduct and expectations regarding mutual respect, it can be a jungle out there.
I'm sure it is clear to you that these people have their collective noses out of joint at the idea of being managed by someone younger and more qualified.
I'm sure it is also clear to you that there is a bit of a mob mentality happening.
They are engaging in nothing less than bullying, and you certainly don't need to put up with it.
I would speak to the more reasonable person in this group (if there is one) on their own, let them know you are aware of what is going on, and that you won't be putting up with it.
I'm sure they value their job.
If the behaviour continues, you will need to speak to your manager or a trusted colleague. They will also be able to be a witness to the behaviour.
The situation may require mediation.
Nipping this in the bud sooner rather than later is important.
I know I can usually be relied upon to show a bit of humour, but workplace bullying is no laughing matter.
on ANZAC Day or go to the races.
But the real issue for our society is when a gambling problem gets out-ofcontrol.
According to a 2022 study by the Gambling Research Centre, 71 percent of Australian men aged 18-31 are classified as being at risk of gambling harm.
The biggest and best game fishing areas in the southern hemisphere sit nearly entirely within the zone.
Prawns and lobsters are caught in large numbers and migrate through the area that has been zoned (do a search on what EMF does to crustaceans).
It’s hardly misinformation to question whether ‘eastern lows’ have even been considered.
Locals know well about destroyed fish farms; 81 shipping containers lost off the YM Efficiency in 2018; and the unstoppable force that drove the Pasha Bulker ashore.
One blade, that’s all, one blade failure could potentially shut down beaches from The Entrance to Seal Rocks.
It’s not misinformation to wonder why the corporations are responsible for their own environmental studies and one person (Tanya Plibersek) is responsible for approval?
We are not the vocal few.
We are the voice of many.

Impacts of local government election
DEAR News Of The Area,
THANKS to all the retiring members of our MidCoast Council and congratulations to the candidates who have been elected for the coming term.
Those of us in the most southerly
villages, living over 100 kilometres from the Council headquarters in Taree, already feel that the mailed fist of onerous local government rests rather lightly upon us.
Antisocial behaviour is not policed by rangers, especially during holiday
seasons.
Development with the potential to completely change the character of the hamlets can not be stopped despite massive local opposition.
If the new Libertarian Party councillors have their way and deliver even smaller
government will this mean even less local government activity and expenditure in our area and open season for developers?
M J SUTCLIFFE, Hawks Nest.
READING by Lynne Miles: Proverbs 22: 6"Train up (instruct and persevere with) a child in the way he should go and when he will not turn from it."
Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Hawks juniors win big in knockout
By Thomas O’KEEFE
THREE Myall River Hawks
JRLFC players
plied their trade at the annual Illawarra Titans Kids In Care Cup held over the weekend near Wollongong, taking out a Grand Final win.
Fresh off their recent Grand Final win in the local
rugby league competition, Hawks U13s players Kyzaiah Simms, Alex Saunders and Jaiv Murphy played among hundreds of others from all over the state at the Illawarra tournament which raises awareness of Aboriginal children in out of home care.
The Hawks Juniors excelled once again, winning their round-robin games and competition Grand Final.
Their first time at the tournament, the boys played for the Mindaribba Warriors in a total of four 40 minute games - one of which ended early due to the ‘Mercy Rule’ (points reached 50-plus).
Being a ‘knockout’ roundrobin scenario, there is no ‘extra time’ in the Grand Final, so when the score ended at
20-20, the victory went to Mindaribba for scoring the first try.
Following the win, the Mindaribba coach cited all three Myall River boys as standouts in his post-match speech.
Alex Saunders’ competition highlight was a try scored straight off a scrum near his team’s backline, running most of the field to ground the ball over the line.
Jaiv Murphy continued the excellent defensive work he displayed during the regular season, stopping a string of plays by the other teams, and was mentioned as a critical part of each victory.
Kyzaiah Simms was awarded Player of the Tournament for the U13s,
after he scored two tries in one game, and proved nearly impossible for the opposition to bring to the ground.
Kyzaiah, Jaiv and Alex were also selected to attend NSW Rugby League’s RISE program earlier in the year, wherein all three became qualified referees, and from next season will be able to assist their club and
Driving grassroots golf
By Chris KARAS
AS a budding golfer on the Hawks Nest fairways, Kasey Henshaw carved out an impressive playing record before joining the professional ranks.
Local golfing enthusiasts would remember the diminutive dynamo winning ladies championships as a fresh-faced teenager and figuring prominently with older brother Ryan in Pennant-winning teams.
She would later join the Ladies Professional Golf Association and compete in major tournaments including the Australian Open, Ladies Masters and the New Zealand Open.
Now the former Hawks Nest sporting identity is putting back into grassroots golf.
For the past seventeen years she has been coaching kids as young as four at Lane Cove Golf Club in Sydney where she is entrenched as the head teaching professional.
Kasey coaches both adults and children from four to seventeen years of age on the finer points of golf and has developed a non-existent junior golf program to one of the most successful and highly participated junior programs in NSW.
Many are kids aged between four and six in the Peewee Program where she provides the opportunity for youngsters to hit balls in a game-based environment.
Prior to COVID she coached up to 130 children.
The Lane Cove Golf Club is currently undergoing a major construction program with limited facilities and combined with this year’s ‘big wet’ the numbers have declined although there are still around 70 children enrolled for weekly lessons.
Kasey and Ryan cut their golfing teeth in Canberra back in 1993 when their parents Terry and Robyn Henshaw built a house on the Murrumbidgee Country Club Golf Course.
At the age of thirteen

STORY STARTS on BACK COVER, Page 20
22 September
The great weather saw 28 players taking part in Sunday bowls.
A contingent of 12 Sunday bowlers are also paying a visit to the Denman Bowling Club fulfilling a reciprocal arrangement.
Those that went last year had a great time.
In other news.
Nominations are being called for next year’s Pennant season and all
full bowling members of the Club are invited to participate.
More nominations for the Club Minor Pairs are urgently needed to make this event more viable.
Minor Pairs Nominations close on the 27 Sep with Round 1 commencing on the 12 Oct.
Kasey developed a passion for the sport after winning a voucher at the Brett Ogle Classic in Goulburn.
She represented the ACT at the 1997 Australian Secondary Schools Championships in Alice Springs before moving to Tea Gardens after the family bought the Tea Gardens Club Inn Motel.
The family joined the Hawks Nest Golf Club and with the support of club members both Kasey and Ryan settled into their new life and thrived on the golf course at the amateur level.
Both Ryan and Kasey were selected for the Hunter Valley Talented Athletes Program and heavily involved in the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation (JNJGF), attending junior tournaments throughout NSW and talented athletes’ programs at Narrabeen.
In 1998 Kasey represented the Hunter Valley Combined High Schools at the Australian Secondary Schools Championships and teamed
up the following year with Ryan to win the Hawks Nest Mixed Foursomes title.
Ryan was Hawks Nest Junior Champion in both 1998 and 1999, Matchplay Champion in 2000 and Foursomes Champion with John Barr (1999) and Craig Golledge in 2001.
Kasey’s passion for golf was formed through her involvement with the JNJGF and at the age of seventeen was a recipient of the JNGF Spirit of the Foundation Award.
During her successful amateur career Kasey won the Muswellbrook Ladies Open, Horizons Classic, Myall Classic and the Scratch and Country Medal at the WGNSW Medal play offs.
She was Ladies Club Champion at Hawks Nest in 2001, 2002 and 2003 (Gross) and played Division 2 when the ladies won the NHDLGA Pennants Championship in 2000.
Kasey also played Division 1 Pennants for Newcastle Golf Club when they won
community by refereeing games in their age-group or under.
It was a very long weekend for the boys and their families, braving the buffeting of the colder southern winds, however, based on their performances, they should be in with a good chance to be chosen for the Koori Knockout, to be
held over the October long weekend in Bathurst.
The Kids In Care Cup was established a decade ago to raise awareness of the need for foster carers in NSW, in particular Indigenous foster carers for Aboriginal kids, and does this primarily by bringing together children and adults through playing rugby league.
the NHDLGA Pennants Championship in 2001 and later helped NSW Golf Club clinch the Sydney Grade Pennants Championship.
Ryan played PGA tournaments before quitting golf for a career in the hospitality industry.
“He now has a dream job working as Venue Manager for Your Mates Brewing, a craft brewery on the Sunshine Coast,” his mother Robyn told News Of The Area.
“Kasey is now a wife and mum having married another professional golfer Martin Dive,” she revealed.
“Martin did his PGA traineeship at the same time as Kasey and had a successful playing career both in Australia and Asia prior to COVID.
“He is currently Assistant Professional at RydeParramatta Golf Club and also works for The Charity Challenge,” said Robyn.
“They have two young daughters Willow (nine) and Charli-Rose (seven) who love swimming and soccer.
“Both enjoy the odd golf lesson and have played a few holes on occasions at Hawks Nest Golf Club” she added.

Before the Swans and Lions take to the ’G and battle it out for this year’s flag, it’s well worth tuning in early to catch this year’s pre-match entertainment. Katy Perry’s (pictured) gravity-defying, sci-fi themed medley of her greatest hits (including “Dark Horse”, “I Kissed a Girl” and “California Gurls”) at the recent MTV VMAs is hopefully a sign of good things to come for her MCG performance, with the international popstar joined on the lineup by Aussie singer, actor and swimmer Cody Simpson; national treasure Christine Anu, her daughter Zipporah Corser-Anu and the Songlines Youth Choir; and, of course, Mike Brady, who returns to the hallowed turf to perform “Up There Cazaly” during the retiree motorcade.

You can count on villainy, violence and valour in any given US police procedural but, just like in real life, justice is not secured. In tonight’s season finale, there’s solace for grieving Special Agent Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane, pictured). In this season’s shocking opener, Trevor Hobbs (Roshawn Franklin) was gunned down by a Somalian terrorist group. Now, in a circular turn of events, the team is on the hunt when the group resurfaces. It’s a gratifying conclusion to this sombre season that affords Tiffany closure. “It kept me on my toes until the very last second,” Kane reveals. “And it will absolutely keep our viewers on their toes in the same sense.”

championship for 2024. As fast as the weather heats up, so too does the competition for honours. Robyn Keegan played a great game scoring 31 nett, well clear of her opponents 4 shots further back. Chip ins today were scored by Robyn on the 6th for a nice par; Liz Ross and Janet Moore on the 2nd, and Marlene Stokes on the 4th.
The swooping magpies were giving Marlene a hard time today, so she did well to stare them down before her chip in – well done! And welcome back to Darelle Rowe after her long holiday.

Club Championship Triples
By John SLATER
q Runners up of the
and Col
The afternoon game was decided by the highest winning margin and the winners were Graham Uff, Col Fossey and Denis Wilberforce with a margin of 16.
The Final of the Club Championship Triples was played today on the grass green which was running very nicely for the players.
After 23 ends the scores were tied at 17 all with two ends to play.
It is always nice to see a
closely fought final, but the team of Denis Ashbridge, Mick Sheridan and Geoffrey Muggleton managed to get over the line 20-17 against the side of Col Amos, Mark Nightingale, and Mark Hair.
The Ashbridge side have been close to winning this
event on several occasions and at last they have added this Championship event to their Cv’s. Congratulations to them and to all those who participated.
