Reclaim the Run is back again By Marian SAMPSON RECLAIM the run came back to Port Stephens for the fifth year. The event is designed to highlight the need for women to be and feel safe in their homes and when exercising. The Australian Bureau of Statistics Personal Safety Survey, 2012 found that 17% of Australian women and 4% of Australian men experienced sexual assault since the age of 15. The same survey found that 15% of women had been sexually assaulted by a known person compared to 4% who were assaulted by a stranger.

his sight that is only offered in Boston, USA. Without the surgery Connor will lose his vision. Uveitis is an inflammation of the eye and many times a cause cannot be found but sometimes it is related to illness, injury, or an inflammatory or autoimmune issue. Connor will have two surgeries over his four to six week stay at the Massachusetts
Eye Research and Surgery Institute in Boston. Connor is currently working on a dairy farm for his Year 10 work experience and is enjoying his time there. He had planned to go to the Hunter Trade College at the end of Year 10 but has advised against that due to the possibility of eye injuries. Medowie Christian School held a fundraising lunchtime BBQ and activities on Friday 25 October to raise further
support his medical expenses and travel. Williams Pet Produce owners Teresa and Paul have been a huge support to Connor and his family and organised a huge garage sale earlier this month with proceeds going towards helping with the costs of the surgeries. Connor told News Of The Area, “I am very grateful to everyone for all they have done for me.”

“To get good vision back in my left eye and maybe some in my right eye would mean the world to me.” “To know that Ican see well enough to start making some decisions about what to do after Year 10 will be a big relief and to know that I will see well enough to continue driving and riding will be a dream come true.” Connor, whilst anxious about the surgery is remaining positive and excited at the thought of being able to see better than he has done since he was three years old.

Reclaim the Run Anti-Violence Against Women Movement Growing Stronger In Port Stephens FROM Page 1

encounter when dealing with violence. No matter where women are at home, out running, in the workplace they have the right to live without the threat or fear of not only physical, but
also from psychological and emotional abuse. Reclaim the run was started by Jaci Richards, Angela Physick and Jo Banner. Once again women, men and local youth
turned out to protest violence against women and to create awareness within our community that no form of abuse against women is acceptable. Angela Physick told
News Of The Area, “Violence happens everywhere to everyone, the event shows support and raises funds for the Yacabba Centre.” Councillor Sarah Smith said, “I have been here every
year for the past five years and it’s great to see that Reclaim the Run is still growing with more people here every year, raising awareness about this very important issue.”

At the start of the day just over $3,000 was in the kitty but by the end of the morning, with a variety of fundraising games, raffles and activities, the total was well over the $7,000 mark. Ryan Hards, one-third of the breakfasts organising committee which also included Jenny Biscan and Ashleigh

money for a fantastic cause.” The funds raised will be directly invested into world class research that has seen the NBCF save over 44,000 lives since its early beginnings in 1994. Those wishing to donate can head to https://nbcf.org. au for more information.

Two charged over alleged touching of 14 year old girl TWO men have been charged over the alleged sexual touching of a teenage girl at Nelson Bay earlier this year. In May 2019, detectives from the State Crime Command’s Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad commenced an investigation following reports a 14-year-old girl had been sexually touched by two men who were not known to her. As part of their inquiries, a 31-year-old man was arrested at Port Macquarie on Tuesday 17 September 2019. He was charged with three counts of intentionally sexually touch child between 10 and 16 years. The man was refused bail and appeared at Port Macquarie Local Court on Wednesday 18 September 2019, where he was granted strict conditional bail to re-appear at the same court on Thursday 21 November 2019. Following further investigations, a 36-year-old man was arrested by officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Police District about 3pm yesterday (Monday 28 October 2019). He was charged with three
counts of intentionally sexually touch child between 10 and 16 years. Police will allege in court that the men sexually touched the girl at a public toilet near Victoria Parade, Nelson Bay, in February 2019. The Salt Ash man was refused bail to appear at Maitland Local Court this week (Tuesday 29 October 2019). The Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad is comprised of detectives who are specially trained to investigate matters against children and adults, including sexual assault, serious physical abuse, and extreme cases of neglect. Anyone with concerns about suspected child abuse or exploitation should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au. Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. People should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Athletes Love Water
q Jack Degaura, Maryanne Braeckmans, Byn Wells, Kate Washington, Jason Wells, and Kelly De Waal from Hunter Water Corporation.
By Julie McKIMM KINDLEBARK Oval is set to thrive after Medowie Little Athletics was successful in their Hunter Water ‘Love Water’ grant proposal. The Club, one of nine successful community and civic organisations, will share the oneoff grant funding with Hunter Water who awarded the Medowie Club $10,000 toward the proposal. The Club was also successful in gaining $11,000 of grant funding from NSW Office of Sport for the proposal. The funding of $21,000 has allowed the club to install a 22,500L rainwater tank to capture water from the Clubhouse roof. It then links to underground irrigation infrastructure along the
NewsOfTheArea.com.au
track. The project will see the most used section of the athletics track irrigated with pop up sprinklers, resulting in a healthier playing surface. President of the Club, Mr Jason Wells, told News Of The Area, “The project will see half of our track being irrigated during the driest part of the year – without using a drop of town water.” “The Club has worked closely with a local irrigation company to design and install the irrigation and rain harvesting system.” “Total Eden at Raymond Terrace has designed an efficient system that will help provide a green space for the whole Medowie community.” “We are proud to implement
this project that will promote water conservation and sustainability into the future for the Medowie community.” MS Kelly De Waal from Hunter Water Corporation told News Of The Area, “To see the funds from the grant going to such good use and come to life is fantastic.” Ms Kate Washington MP, Member for Port Stephens was also impressed with the Club’s initiative in“future proofing the oval for years to come. Medowie Little Athletics has been operating for over 30 years and between September and March meets every Friday evening from 5.00pm at Kindlebark Oval. Registration is currently open for all children aged between 4 and 17.

UNIT Commander of State Emergency Service Port Stephens, Mr David Douglas recently competed in the NSW Police and Emergency Services Games with great results. Mr Douglas has been competing in such events since 2007. This year, along with Senior Rescue Operator Mr Ken Douglas, they competed in the Clay Target and Skeet Shooting sections of the competition. Mr David Douglas came away with a number of medals including a first place in A grade Trap Single Barrel, a second place in A grade Trap Point Score and a third in both the A grade Double Barrel Trap and A grade Skeet. David told News Of The Area, “It was an honour to represent my Unit and the Service at the NSW Police & Emergency Services Games.” “As I was preparing to go out to compete it dawned on me that I hadn’t competed in this discipline in over ten years.” “It would be great if we could get more members involved in sports shooting, so as we could put together a team for the NSW Police & Emergency Services Games next year.” David is looking forward to future events such as the Australasian Police and Emergency Service
Friday 25 October, former Commander Richard Osborne OAM was on the scene. “This low act means that we will have no backSolutions up during power outages,” he said. “We are therefore inactive when wild weather hits which is usually the time when we are most needed,” he added. “Like the RFS we are all unpaid volunteers and to be targeted in this way is bad for morale,” he concluded. 2 6 5 9 1 3 4 8 7

Hay You Fundraiser “We’ve added another raffle on Saturday nights, and we’ve pledged to personally donate $2 for every scotch fillet or chicken schnitzel sold on a Saturday night to Rural Aid.”
By Julie McKIMM
FUNDRAISING is not new to the Bull ‘n’ Bush Hotel in Medowie, having donated every dollar made from pub raffles over the last five years and raising over $19 000 in total to charities and services such as Kaleidoscope, the Mark Hughes Foundation, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Medowie Rural Fire Service, Breast Cancer Research, and also some locals that fall on hard times. Last year they were proud to host the Bale Out The Drought fundraiser, managed by Councillor Mr Chris Doohan, which raised over $80 000 for Buy A Bale. With no end to the drought in sight, it was decided in October that they needed to make drought relief the main focus for fundraising. Licensee Eileen Clark told News Of The Area,
media@newsofthearea.com.au
“We were also excited to see a new idea in the Buy A Bale truck poster where you can buy a sticker for $20 and stick it on our truck, with each sticker representing an actual bale.”
“It’s very rewarding to see exactly how close we are to sending an entire truck load!” “The Bull ‘n’ Bush will also host their Christmas raffle on 7 December, with all of the money raised going to Rural Aid.” “If any local businesses
would like to donate an item or voucher, the hotel and our Australian farmers would be extremely grateful!” While Port Stephens has only recently commenced Level 1 water restrictions, many rural communities have been in dire straits for a long time. The latest drought map released by the Department of Primary Industries
shows that across NSW, only 0.4% is not in drought. Other figures show that 0.2% is recovering, 45.6% is drought affected, 20.8% is in drought and an alarming 33% of the state is experiencing intense drought. Any queries about the drought relief can be sent to the Bull ‘n’ Bush Hotel Medowie Facebook page.
Local people, serving the community since 1893 When the time comes for assistance with a funeral or to pre-pay or pre-arrange, whether church, chapel, crematorium, graveside or intercity, call us 24 hours, for personal service. q Licensee Eileen Clark and Hotel Manager Dave Feneley displaying the Buy a Bale Poster.

lives in the region, the needs of the whole community quickly became apparent. “What started as a support group for prostate cancer, with a driving service to get patients to and from Newcastle, has seen it grow into trying to assist almost all cancer patients,” said Mr Stanfield. “There was so much demand for a transport service and we are lucky to have fantastic volunteers and support in our community to help try and fill that void.” Funding for both groups come from local clubs, businesses, the Cancer
Council of NSW and patients themselves. Foundation TPCSG Secretary, Richard Yeomans emphasised the importance of the drivers giving their time to help others in the area. “We have around 40 drivers on the Tomaree peninsula which without we simply couldn’t provide this service,” said Mr Yeomans. “Our group could get a call tomorrow about transport and we’d be able to assist them.” Both Mr Stanfield and Mr Yeomans acknowledged the tremendous work put in by outgoing President, Iain Woodhill.

Mr Innes said, “In-school projects include building arcade machines from scratch and 3D printing a working model of a combustion

steam engine that will be powered by electric motors. Obelisk Systems is a Newcastle based company that produces the hardware kits and online support materials. Mr Innes said, “The students learn to control the lander and use its equipment gradually as they learn how to program in Python by completing one module of the online course at a time.” “Once students have mastered all the basic functions, they are presented
with problems they must solve, requiring them to build new programs.” “Obelisk Systems run the Mars Rover Challenge as a motivating exercise and a keystone project for the end of the course each year” For local students, Irrawang State High School is innovative with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) and IT and provides a great training ground for future employability in the industry.

Safety First this By Julie McKimm
NOW in its third year, a Medowie Community initiative is sure to be another huge success this Halloween. The idea started with a group of Medowie parents on a Facebook page wanting to create a safe way for their children to enjoy trick or treating on October 31. Buckets of orange balloons are distributed throughout the community for residents to hang on their letterbox to indicate they are a Halloween friendly house and are happy to receive ghosts and ghouls knocking on their door. A map is also compiled and distributed to parents on the Medowie Mums Facebook page so children can plan out their night. The map also has the ability for households to specific the treats on offer at their house, orange for food treats, teal or green for non-food treats or purple for both food and nonfood treats, enabling those with allergies to enjoy the festivities also. Rachael Vaughan told News Of The Area, “Medowie Neighbourhood Watch is proud to organise and support this safety event again, and we’re thankful for our local sponsors for jumping on board.” “We aim to create a safe, supervised event where children can get out and get to know their neighbours and develop some community connections with each other” “We have so many wonderful young people in Medowie, and it’s

important for residents to interact with them and continue building on our strong pride for our Medowie community.” This year the event is sponsored once again by News Of The Area along
with Kate Washington MP, Medowie Gymnastics, Medowie Family and Sport Physio, Flourish Naturally, Neighbourhood Watch Medowie and Zeke Unique.
AT the recent Port Stephens Council meeting, Councillors were requested to endorse the draft Fern Bay and North Stockton Strategy to be placed on Public Exhibition for a 28 day period. The draft strategy was prepared by Council staff in consultation with Newcastle City Council to discuss and resolve traffic and transport, potential town centre sites and planning to support tourism in the area. The strategy shows the potential for a town centre and shopping precinct in the North Stockton area, however there have been suggestions that this would be better served in the Fern Bay area. Sally Johnston, Chairperson of the Fern Bay Fullerton Cover Progress Association, told News Of The Area, “There is a strong desire from the Fern Bay and Fullerton Cove community for a local supermarket and associated shops. The Land Use Strategy looked at a number of potential locations, and appears to have given the green light for the commercially zoned land
at the front of the Seaside development to be rezoned back to residential. Whilst the Stockton Centre site received the highest rating in the Strategy, there are so many unknowns with this site that there is no guarantee that, even if it was sold, that the eventual buyer would want to install a shopping centre. Given the volumes of traffic travelling along Nelson Bay Road, the expansion of the airport precinct and the continued growth of Fern Bay and Fullerton Cove’s population, there should be sufficient demand, even if
we were to see two shopping centre precincts in the long term. “ Councillor Giacomo Arnott told News Of The Area, “The strategy adopted by Council provides for one town centre at a State Government owned facility, and we have no idea if or when the State will vacate it or if it will be available to Council if and when that happen, with this in mind an alternate site must be considered and included in the strategy.” Locals are encouraged to make submissions on the strategy during the exhibition period.

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help.

AN OFFER – WHERE TO START?
Now the weather is heating up, what are the fashion trends for this summer? I’d like to be on-trend.
“I’m about to take the plunge and buy my first home. Some of my friends are telling me I should start with very low offers because all house prices are inflated? What’s your advice?” READING: Matthew 4: 17 CONGRATULATIONS on entering the property market! Buying your first home is a wonderfully exciting time and there’s nothing like the feeling of turning the key for the first time. Until then you’re navigating the purchasing process and what you’re talking about is a ‘low ball’ offer: one that is considerably lower than the listed price guide. There is often discussion about a property’s true value and obviously buyers are keen to save where possible. An offer 5% – 10% below the asking price is an acceptable starting point, but sometimes buyers start with offers as much as 25% below the asking price. This is probably what you’re referring to as an ‘offensive’ offer as vendor response is usually predictable and this may well impact your negotiating power going forward. Prior to placing your first offer do your research to compare the listing price with other current listings and recently sold properties in that area including time spent on market and how much stock is available. You’ll soon get a good idea of how far below the listing price you should go. Ethical agents such as the R&R Team will guide you through the offering process. Denise

Regional Grant Opportunity awarded to News Of The Area media LOCAL company Myall Coast Communications Pty Ltd which readers would know very well as News Of The Area (NOTA) has been awarded a Government Grant to support the sustainability of the local publishing activities, including news gathering, production and distribution. The small company which produces Myall Coast News of the area and more recently Port Stephens News Of The Area, is one of 62 small and regional publishers across Australia to share in around $9 million of funding under the Federal Coalition Government’s Regional Grant Opportunity program to support local journalism. Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher, said in the digital age the sector is facing profound and continuing change and the funding will help regional publishers invest for the future. “The Federal Nationals in Government recognises the challenges facing regional publishers and local
newspapers as they reshape their business models to deal with the digital landscape and put themselves on more sustainable footings for the future,” Minister Fletcher said. “These grants provide regional our publishers with the opportunity to invest in new technologies to support news gathering skills development and digital initiatives.” Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie, congratulated News Of The Area and said the funding will provide a much welcomed boost in journalism and news gathering for the region. “News Of The Area has demonstrated a solid business case to increase publishing activities for our region,” Dr Gillespie said. The Regional Grant Opportunity program is overseen by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which received 113 applications for the grants.

Of the 62 grant recipients, 25 will be funded in full and 37 will be part funded. News Of The Area published Michael Wright said the Grant provides a welcomed boost to ensure the longevity of the local community news source. “Delivering relevant local community information from an unbiased source is still well regarded and by people - this probably will be the case for a long long time,” Mr Wright said. “In ensuring this community news source is here for the long haul, it’s important for us to heavily increase our engagement within the Port Stephens and Myall Region communities.” “This Grant will go a long way to doing that for us,” Mr Wright said.

Dear Mrs OC, I think the first question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to be a dedicated follower of fashion or a fashion setter. Do you want to follow the status quo like a mindless sheep, or would you prefer it if people look at you with a sense of wonderment? The important thing is to own your look. I mean, Lady Gaga once wore a dress made of raw beef to the MTV awards, so I guess if you want to try something new you could slap on some veggie burgers and tofu and call it ‘sustainable statement wear’ Though I haven’t worn food as an outfit, during an extreme vague out, I did wear my pyjama top to Salamander shops and unfortunately ran into several people I knew. Now if it had been a slogan-free top, I probably would have managed to get away with it, but since it said ‘Bra Off. Pyjamas On’, all I could do was stand tall, push my chest out and throw caution to the wind in a sad, I’m free to do what I want, peri-menopausal kind of way. There are many outfits that have been fashion statements that are now cringe-worthy, but they will undoubtedly come back in eventually – shoulder pads, taffeta, fingerless lace gloves, stirrup pants, fluoro shirts, happy pants, g-string leotards – and that was just the 80s. As someone who works from home, my dress standards have dropped to an appalling level, but I like to think I am so far ahead of trend that one day others will catch up. If you notice people wandering around Port Stephens in three-quarter trackies and Birkenstocks, or fetching Hare Krishna saris, just remember who started it. As for summer, as long as you keep away from those god-awful ripped shorts that come half-way up the buttocks and look as though you’ve been attacked by a wild boar, you’ve made a wonderful head start. Carpe diem, Jasminda.
