Fundraiser for RFS and Salvos By Marian SAMPSON

THE current Bushfires have left behind devastation for many residents, businesses and native wildlife in NSW and Australia. While the Port Stephens region has remained largely untouched by fire, our local Fire Services have been actively involved in fighting fires in other areas. Many local residents have had family members impacted by the devastation of the ongoing fires or have family members active with the RFS and fighting fires, away from home. As a community focused region, Mayor Ryan Palmer and Nelson Bay Golf Club are co-hosting a Bushfire Appeal Golf Day 13 February 2020

Our RFS Local Heros By Marian SAMPSON

FINGAL Bay RFS member Curtis Nunn recently spoke to the Probus Club of Fingal Bay. Local Port Stephens RFS teams have been travelling far and wide to assist with the bushfire crisis in Australia. Locally the RFS has spent over a week working on extinguishing the fires near Eucalyptus Drive at One Mile Beach. Julia Redlich of the Fingal Bay Probus Club told News Of The Area, “It was timely and topical when the Fingal Bay Probus Club recently welcomed a Speaker from the Fingal Bay

Rural Fire Brigade. Curtis Nunn, like many of his family, was proof positive of the dedication of volunteers. “He arrived, having just finished a spell of duty; he’d had no time to change, and only stopped for a quick coffee before sharing his experience in advising about readying our homes and families for bushfires, which have so recently dominated our country. He spoke about how to prepare, act and survive which was comprehensively covered

and involved many more questions from his listeners afterwards. Curtis received warm thanks for his time, as well as donations. He also carried off two baskets of goodies to benefit of the wonderful volunteers who make up our local Rural Fire Brigade. The Probus Club of Fingal Bay meets on the second Monday of each month at 9.30am at the Fingal Bay Sports and Recreation Club, 100 Rocky Point Road, Fingal Bay.

Region goes to Level 2 Water Restriction

LEVEL 2 water restrictions now apply across the Lower Hunter (as at monday 20 January), in response to the worst drought on record. Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey said tighter water restrictions are needed to help conserve the region’s drinking water supplies, with dam levels now at their lowest in almost 40 years. “While it was a very welcome sight to see some rain, the severe drought continues across much of our state, including in the Lower Hunter,” Mrs Pavey said. “The rain has helped wet the ground, but unfortunately due to the prolonged dry conditions, more follow-up rain is needed to significantly boost the region’s dams. “Level 2 water restrictions are in place from today and it’s really important everyone continues to make water savings around their homes and businesses.”

Under Level 2 water restrictions, outdoor watering is limited to 15 minutes every second day while vehicles and buildings can only be washed with a bucket and showers are limited to four minutes.

Hunter Water’s Acting CEO Graham Wood said Hunter Water was prioritising its efforts to find and fix water leaks, in response to the challenging conditions. “We recognise the community is doing their bit to save water, with usage down 18 per cent and I’d like to say thank you for following the water restrictions and loving water,” Mr Wood said. “We’re doing our part by increasing our active leak detection work and bringing in additional crews to repair leaks quicker. We are also in the final stages of developing an assistance program for customers who find and fix leaks on their properties.”

Pigs Will Fly at Anna Bay For Country Kids

By Mitch LEES

ANNA Bay Tavern has seen its fair share of porkies spun in the front bar over the years and come Sunday 9 February, the tall tales will be swapped out for the real thing with the annual Elders’ Insurance pig races in action. Some lightning streaked piglets will be parading the track in aid of Country Hope, a charity which strives to help country kids going through tough times come out on top. The family fun day, which will also include live music, raffles and auctions, is a fundraising precursor to the Riverina Redneck Rally in which Darren James and his pit crew will embark on come March.

“The races are all about getting together as a community and throwing as much in the hat as we can for those kids battling with some serious illnesses in the Riverina and surrounding areas,” said Mr James. “With the rally finishing in Nelson Bay on the 6th of March this year we really hope we can get as many people from the area as we can out to the Tavern to support us and those kids in the bush.” The day is set to kickoff at noon with the first race scheduled to start at 1pm. One of Port Stephens’ favourite virtuose sons in Mick Jones will keep the crowd moving with a catalogue of classic pub anthems. Plenty of food and

refreshments will be available to keep the energy levels up

Ethan Smith of Surfing New South Wales told News Of The Area, “In the 16-andUnder Boys, Mike ClaytonBrown followed the same pattern that saw him win the 14-and-Under Boys division back in 2017.” This is a great result for the Port Stephens surfer. The Port Stephens natural-footer went toe-totoe and blow-for-blow, with fellow natural footer Marlon

Harrison (Coolangatta, Qld) in the exciting final with both surfers trading off a bunch of decent scores, however, Clayton-Brown was able to gain the upper hand thanks to a handful of scores in the high seven-point range. As a result, ClaytonBrown cemented his position as winner of the Rip Curl GromSearch Final. The main base for the National Final of the Rip Curl

Storm Season Is Here

Port Stephens SES Trucks ready for Action.

Sugar Cookie Fundraiser

Sugar Cookie Fundraiser Set For This Saturday For The NSW RFS By Mitch LEES

THE recent Australian wide bushfires have started a National conversation about the support and resources that are required in a time of crisis. Although the scale of a disaster can seem too big for an individual to tackle by themselves, their actions can be where a community comes together to address the wider issues that arise. This is what Raelea Gibson from Winnie’s Sweet Creations hopes to do this Saturday 24 January, with a fundraiser selling custom designed sugar cookies for those who have helped battle the blazes near and far. “I’m hoping the local Tomaree Peninsula

population and visitors alike come down and purchase these specially made cookies we’ve had designed, to support our firefighters who have been working months to get on top of these fires,” said Ms Gibson. “All proceeds are going straight to the NSW RFS and local crews.” Ms Gibson has baked over 1000 cookies for the stall that will be operating from 10am with pre-orders available for collection as well. “I’ve had an overwhelming response online and had to stop taking orders for the cookies,” said Ms Gibson. “It’s amazing to see the local support for those who are helping save our county.”

THURSDAY’S storms were a welcome relief for some, however it certainly kept our local SES busy. NSW SES Port Stephens were activated yesterday by the State Operations Centre for multiple storm related jobs in the Port Stephens area.

Over the course of the afternoon, Port Stephens crews responded to 28 jobs with the Unit, fielding 20+ Operators.

media@newsofthearea.com.au 35.6mm of rain fell within a 30 minute period, causing significant damage to homes and localised flooding. Many of the requests for assistance received were for flooding, ceiling collapse and water ingress. All four of the Unit’s vehicles were operational last night; Light Storm (PTS31), Light Rescue (PTS42), Medium Rescue (PTS45) and Heavy Rescue (PTS47) NSW SES Port Stephens Unit Controller, David Douglas, told News Of The Area, “It was great to see all the members jump to action in order to get the jobs completed quickly and safely.” “We haven’t had a huge

demand for storm related jobs over the past year but it makes all the training worthwhile when we can help the community.” David said, “The majority of our jobs were for leaking roofs and blocked drains and gutters. “ “Whilst we understand it’s not the most entertaining job for the weekend, cleaning down pipes, drains and gutters goes a long way in preventing damage to your house.” SES Port Stephens is honoured to be able to assist our community and the thanks that we have received back from our local community has been amazing.

TIMING IT RIGHT! “Is there a time when you just shouldn’t list?”

q Lions president Col Magick presents the blower to Captain George Brandenburg flanked by Lions past president Jan Colman and local RFS volunteers.

Blown away by generosity of community

TILLIGERRY RFS was literally 'blown away' by the recent donation of a $1000 firefighting appliance similar to a leaf blower. It was funded by the Tilligerry Lions Club. Getting a life-saving back burn going can be a big problem to our firies as it burns slowly into the wind from the drip-torch line. With the

blower, the fire is blasted into the scrub towards the bushfire which then sucks the backburn towards itself and goes out with no more fuel to feed it. The blower can also be used to clear fire trails which saves hours of work using the traditional Mc Leod tool (a broad type of rake). Small fires can also be

blasted out using the turbo charged blower. It could also be employed tidying up leaf litter around the station as well. People wishing to make donations to the RFS are asked to take them directly to local brigades as there are (unfortunately) numerous scams

operating and some charities cream off a large percentage of donations as 'administration' fees. This ensures that funds are used locally to improve the efficiency of our unpaid volunteers. Tilligerry RFS meets on a Saturday at their station just off the main road at Tanilba

Bay and collection tins are prominent on the counters of retail businesses around the Peninsula. They are still looking for more members who are interested in long-term commitment to the cause.

SELLING property is not an exact science and there are numerous variables that come into play. Some are more practical such as some seasons being better than others. Others such as global events like the sudden impact of the 2007 GFC are difficult to see coming – and account for when they hit. Of course, there are instances where personal or financial positions change, necessitating a sale. Notwithstanding these variables, there are factors you can take into account when thinking about listing. Firstly, there is the supply/demand ration. If there is a wealth of properties in your area that are similar to yours by way of style, inclusions and price point, then it’s wise to wait and take advantage of a listing period when buyers outnumber listings. Additionally, if negative variables combine to create a less than favourable time to sell, short-term leasing your property will provide an income and ‘breathing space’ until you feel that the time is right A good, reputable local agent will discuss the pros and cons of listing at any given time and give you the guidance you need to make an informed decision.

I hope this helps Denise

Let people know if you have Bore Water

Dear News Of The Area, WITH restrictions in force, those residents who tap into the water table with spearpoints, need to put up a sign or risk prosecution. Tilligerry really does not need restrictions becase we live above the vast underground lake known as the Tomago sand beds. The Water Board however has a blanket rule which includes Tilligerry.

this inexhaustable supply beside the treatment plant at Tanilba and pumped up to the reservoir on top of the hill in Lemon Tree. It then gravity feeds LTP, Mallabula and Tanilba Bay. We also supply Oyster Cove and Karuah via a pipeline under the creek. Spear point water was very popular and cheap (despite the smell) until rising electricity prices made it a marginal proposition,

Thursday, 23 January, 2020

Our hardware store at Tanilba sells signs which indicate spear point water usage but some people make their own. We found this one (see photo) which beggars the question: “What about the sows and piglets?” Photo: If nothing else, this sign is definitely not boring Geoff Walker Tilligerry
