Gropers Muscle Up Against Australian Army ahead of weekend’s Clash

By Mitchell LEES COURAGE, respect and teamwork. Three words the Australian Army Rugby Union men’s and women’s teams embodied in a set of trial matches against the Nelson Bay Gropers at Bill Strong Oval last week.

The trials came after the week-long Inter-Brigade Rugby Competition that saw the best of the Australian Army’s rugby talent descend on Port Stephens to make the national squads.

Australian Army Rugby Union National Manager Lieutenant Colonel Ashley Cootes described it as the perfect place to prepare for their upcoming tour of Tonga.

Nelson Bay Gropers Muscle Up Against Australian Army FROM Page 1

“We’ve enjoyed the hospitality all week with the Gropers as well as the support from both the Port Stephens’ Council and the RAAF at Williamtown,” said Lt Col Cootes.

“Not only was it great to

be involved with some fantastic rugby; the friendliness of the region as well as the respect at the Dawn Service was immense.”

Whilst the trial matches were touted as “friendlies”, Gropers Club Captain Sam Rocher noted there was plenty of fire on display with the Gropers matching the

0435 492 982

Army’s physicality on the park.

“They were well drilled as can be expected but both our teams matched them at the set pieces and really belted a few of them in defence,” said Mr Rocher.

Both trial matches weren’t officially scored with Gropers President Ray Milton declaring

Heather SHARP 0408 153 134

rugby as the real winner of the day.

“It was just a magnificent opportunity to go head to head with the Australian Army teams and we can’t wait to have them back next year,” said Mr Milton.

The Nelson Bay Gropers played Southern Beaches at Boyd Oval, Medowie last Saturday.

“It is wanton recklessness to even consider approving this mine when the IPCC is telling the world that we urgently need to reduce CO2 emissions.”

She believes that if this mine is approved, it will open the way for other mines in the Galilee basin, compounding the emissions problem.

“Adani’s Carmichael Mine threatens the survival of the Great Barrier Reef by increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, leading to higher ocean temperatures and more frequent coral bleaching events. “Excavations for the Abbot Point coal terminal will require massive dredging of the seafloor, disturbing habitat for dugongs, turtles and dolphins,” she said.

While Nigel Dique of EcoNetwork Port Stephens said, “EcoNetwork supports protests like the anti-Adani convoy because they draw attention to the need for political action to end our reliance on fossil fuels as an energy source.

One Nation’s Neil Turner Jan Davis The Greens

By Marian SAMPSON

NEIL Turner lives in Raymond Terrace and works as a fitter machinist, mainly in the coal industry.

He is standing in the seat of Paterson for One Nation in the Federal Election.

He has lived here for the past nine years with his Wife.

Together they enjoy travelling and boating at the Bay. Neil started his working career as an apprentice toolmaker in the whitegoods industry and studied engineering through to design manufacturing and a Diploma in Business management.

Neil Turner told News Of The Area, “I first joined Pauline Hanson’s One Nation in 1998 and stood for Election in 2001 and 2004 in the Federal seat of Riverina.”

More recently, Neil stood as a candidate in the State Election held in March for the seat of Maitland where he achieved 10.9% of the vote.

“I want the financial assistance Grants by the Federal Government to local Councils be restored to pre 1996 level of at least 1% of Commonwealth taxation revenue.

“It is currently around .55%, and lack of Council funds has led to unaffordable rate rise applications by Councils.”

mined in the Hunter and transported out of our Port is sold to Japan for power generation. It is unthinkable that we buy back products cheaper than we can produce ourselves due to our high electricity costs.”

Neil is also campaigning against the removal of franking credits and changes to negative gearing by the Labor party, and where the ability of retirees and pensioners to plan for a comfortable retirement is being eroded.

“If elected to Federal Parliament I will work very hard for the constituents of Paterson and conduct myself in a truthful and trustworthy manner,” he said

Neil would like the One Nation secured pilot program for 1600 regional apprenticeships rolled out in Paterson to help the many young school leavers struggling to find employment. “Under the scheme, the Government will subsidise 75% of the apprentices first year wages, 50% of the second year’s and 25% of the third year’s wages.”

One Nation’s policy to build High Efficiency, Low Emission power stations for cheap and reliably power is essential for the competitiveness of our industries, including the Tomago Aluminium plant in the Paterson electorate.

JAN’S platform is tied to social justice, the protection of heritage natural and built and dealing with the threat of climate change.

Jan Davis told News Of The Area, “I’m running for election because we need the Greens’ progressive agenda at the front of voters’ minds.”

“I care about the world my family will inherit and act always to preserve the natural beauty and sustainability of our planet.”

Jan believes that we need sustainable, climate proof transport options in our region.

Ms Davis is advocating for a rail link from the Newcastle Port Stephens Airport to Port Stephens centers and the wider region.

Ms Davis also sees an opportunity to make a climate change proof railway from Glendale to Maitland and Kurri Kurri, giving people the option of travelling sustainably.

Port Stephens has alarming levels of land clearing threatening not only to our iconic koala population but other species of fauna and flora.

Jan believes that with the abolition of the Native Vegetation Act, we are seeing our rural and coastal

surrounds and habitats being threatened, coupled with the risk of overdevelopment in Paterson.

Jan is passionate about ensuring the future for our marine life which is threatened by seismic testing with gas exploration off our coastline.

Paterson is bounded by the ocean with the

Meet United Australia Port’s Senate Party’s Graham Burtson Candidate

By Marian SAMPSON

ENTERING the Political ring for a second time contesting for the seat of Paterson is Graham Burston for the United Australia Party (UAP).

Graham has successfully operated his own building consultancy and design drafting business for many years and has extensive history in the mining industry.

Graham was elected to Cessnock City Council as an Independent Alderman in 1991, and was re-elected in a landslide victory in 1995 and becoming Deputy Mayor.

He ran as a State candidate for Cessnock in 1999 achieving two party preferred status.

In the 2016 Federal Election, Graham first challenged for the seat of Paterson where he gained 13% of the vote on a limited campaign.

The UAP is famous for its bright yellow advertising and of course its equally colourful leader, Clive Palmer.

In regard to preferences Clive Palmer is confident, a recent media release claimed “The United Australia Party will win Government, consequently our preferences may never be distributed.”

The statement goes on stating, “In the final analysis, a poor economy is a bad result for all Australians.

“Therefore, our United Australia Party Executive has decided we will be preferencing the LNP,” Mr Palmer said.

Of local concern to Port Stephens residents’, candidate Graham Burston is standing

on a platform which includes the buy back of PFAS affected properties in Williamtown’s Red Zone, and the duplication of Nelson Bay Road from Williamtown to Nelson Bay. Graham Burston told News Of The Area, “We would provide compensation for those impacted by PFAS. “Both the Labor and Liberal Parties voted against a buy back, which we find unacceptable.

“People in the Red Zone are suffering: there are over 50 people in the Williamtown Red Zone that have varied types of cancer which I attribute to PFAS.” Mr Burston claims his Party will force the Government to compensate those affected. If need be, we will put forward legislation from the Senate, to do something constructive to help those poor buggers that are doing it tough.”

The UAP will also continue to fund the groundbreaking work with hemp seed by Newcastle University to address the PFAS contamination in the groundwater and soil.

“It is terrible for families; there are Grandparents that can’t have their Grandchildren visit them, for fear of contamination,” he said.

This is not just Williamtown: there are PFAS issues across Australia.

Mr Burston also believes that upgrading of the road between Williamtown and Nelson Bay must be completed and Federal funding should be forthcoming for the project.

“The local member needs to make sure that happens,” he concluded.

PORT Stephens resident, Jewell Drury is known for her efforts as a volunteer, supporting COPSY, an initiative to assist youth in addressing mental health issues through JUPITER. Jewell is standing for the Fathers, Parents, Grandparents and extended families who have been alienated from their children due to the broken Family Law system which continues to tear families apart.

Jewell believes that many Australian families are invisible to the major Parties.

As a Mother of 8 children, Grandmother to 5 and a Foster Parent, Jewell understands the importance of family relationships and the dangers of broken attachments between parents and their children.

Jewell decided to stand as a candidate for the Australian Better Families because she wants to ensure that Australian Families benefit before all others from Government Policies.

Jewell Drury told News Of The Area “I am proud to say that all of our Policies will ensure this happens.”.

“I am honoured to stand for a Party that stands for Australian Families with 21 Policies that have Australian families at the core. q Jewell Drury Australian Better Families “I stand Candidate for the Australian Senate. for the child funding redirected to health who has been alienated from hubs & community centres his non- custodial parent and in rural areas instead of being Grandparent due to our failed poured into referral and call Family Law system. centres in Capital cities.”

Tony’s business sponsors the Bowling Club and Golf Club and he is committed to helping the under-privileged in Port Stephens and the community will continue to see this wonderful support locally.

“It’s business as usual for Tony Short, nothing has changed except the name and of course the fact that vendors and landlords will see an additional financial gain, it’s the same service with qualified and trust professionals there for you from listing to the moment when the sold sticker is placed on the board,” he said.

First training for F-35A Joint Strike Fighter

NUMBER 3 Squadron from RAAF Base Williamtown will conduct the first training for F-35A Joint Strike Fighter aircraft over Salt Ash Air Weapons Range (SAAWR) from Monday-Friday, 6-17 May 2019.

Up to four jets will conduct a number of passes over the range for up to two weeks during weekdays only.

Acting Commander Air Combat Group, Group Captain Harvey Reynolds, said the initial training runs would involve a series of dry passes over the range, and be followed by gunnery activities.

GPCAPT Reynolds said residents living in East Medowie, Salt Ash and Lemon Tree Passage can expect the range to be used intermittently throughout this period.

“SAAWR training activities are an important part of the validation and verification phase for the newly introduced aircraft and the aircrew,” he said.

“The program will include practicing F-35A weapons loading and unloading procedures, and provide gunnery practice which remains an essential skill for fighter aircrew,” he said.

The F-35A aircraft will operate over the range in a similar manner to the F/A-18A/B Hornet aircraft.

F-35A operations over the SAAWR were assessed and approved as part of the F35A Environment Impact Statement.

“Annual use of SAAWR will remain well under the usage allowed under the operational conditions for the range which is a maximum of 115 days each year over a 10 year rolling average,” GPCAPT Reynolds said.

“Air Force has a responsibility to ensure personnel are ready and able to deploy at short notice and this involves necessary air to ground training that is employed at SAAWR,” he said.

Every effort was made to minimise any inconvenience to residents during SAAWR training and advised the range schedule could change at short notice due to weather or operational considerations.

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

Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers throughout the circulation area of our FOUR News Of The Area papers on a rotating basis. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of media@newsofthearea.com. au and include your title, initials and suburb.

Dear Jasminda,

My kids have asked me for Mother’s Day ideas. What would you like for Mother’s Day?

Do I need to give notice if I want to leave when my lease ends?

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the different notice periods required with a lease, which is not surprising, given the varying rules and regulations and depending on whether you are within a lease, out of a lease, a tenant or a landlord.

The answer to your specific question is that yes you do need to give notice in writing to the management agency.

As the tenant your responsibilities are: If you are still within your lease period and you decide to leave, you must provide the managing agency with 2 weeks notice to vacate, in writing.

If you are out of your lease and paying week to week then you are required to provide 3 weeks notice to vacate, in writing. Note that if you wish to break your lease early a break lease fee will apply.

The best thing to always do, is to communicate regularly with your management agency, thus providing them with the time to be organised and to re-advertise the property for when you have vacated.

Hope this helps Denise

Mrs PD, Salamander Bay Dear Mrs PD,

Australians overseas urged to vote early

FROM New York to New Delhi, Australians overseas urged to vote early. Australians who are enrolled for the 2019 Federal Election and will be overseas on Saturday 18 May will be able to pre-poll at any one of 85 overseas voting centres.

“Centres are commencing voting services progressively from 6 May, and they will be located at participating Australian diplomatic missions and other offices around the world,” the Electoral Commissioner, Mr Tom Rogers, said.

“Please carefully check opening times at the website address below Overseas voting centres, dates and times at participating Australian diplomatic Missions: https:// www.aec.gov.au/election/ overseas.htm General information: READING:

h t t p s : / / w w w. a e c . g ov. a u / Vo t i n g / Wa y s _ t o _ v o t e / overseas.htm “By international standards, Australia’s Federal Electoral system is one of the most open and accessible in operation today,” Mr Rogers, said.

“Whether you’re residing, working or holidaying overseas at the moment, make sure your vote counts in the 2019 election.”

Further information: Voters who are about to travel overseas should consider a pre-poll vote at an earlyvoting centre in Australia.

Check all overseas voting centre dates and opening hours carefully. Many might not be open on election day, 18 May 2019, due to timezone differences.

Electors overseas needing a postal vote have been able to apply via the AEC website

since 11 April 2019. If no action has been taken to apply until now, delivery of ballot papers in time is not guaranteed. So to have any chance, please apply immediately. While the AEC uses priority mail to deliver ballot papers, it is not responsible for the speed of mail-delivery services in foreign countries.

The AEC strongly encourages all enrolled voters overseas to vote, but recognises that under some circumstances this is impossible. Accordingly, under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, voting is voluntary for electors overseas on Election day, 18 May 2019.

At the 2016 Federal Election, 71,406 overseas votes were cast and Australia’s largest overseas voting centre was at Australia House in London (15,663 cast).

Job 19: 25 REDEEMER - “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and at the last (close of time) He will take His stand on the earth.” Blessings from Lynne Miles

DOESN’T every day feel like Mother’s Day? I mean being a mother is not something you are never given the opportunity to forget from the moment your screaming newborn is placed on your belly, through to the terrible twos, the angst-ridden teenage years, the ‘I’m back, renting is too expensive’ decade, and so on. Mother’s Day, therefore, should be a 365-day-a year commitment from your children, so with that in mind, here are some things I would like from my children.

When I put your folded clothes on your bed, I’d like you to get them into the drawer instead of letting them sit there for a week until they have fallen off onto the floor where you assume they are dirty washing and put them back in the laundry basket.

When I drive you to your casual job, I would like to listen to my own playlist, not the expletive-ridden, misogynistic trash that you need to get you into “work mode”.

When you have finished your meal, I’d like you to deal with your plate instead of quietly skulking off to your bedroom, thinking I won’t notice.

When you apply spray tan in my white bathroom, I’d like you to at least attempt to remove those rust-coloured stains from every surface when you are done.

When you try on every item of clothing before going out, I am not a sales assistant who is on hand to hang those items back in your wardrobe. Clothes and towels do not live on the floor.

If all those ideas fail, please just give me a massage voucher so I can get rid of some of the nervous tension that resides in my temples and neck due to dealing with the above.

PS: If you are going to make me breakfast in bed, that includes cleaning up afterwards.

PPS: I do adore you, my darling children.

Thanks in advance.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Club Secretary Lindsay Brown believes that having someone of Zeke’s calibre coaching Nelson Bay umpires right at the Bay is a rare opportunity, “As a club, we are excited to host him here and show him how we run our local competition.

“We also hope that our kids and senior umpires will benefit from having one of the best umpires in Hockey in Australia right here to provide guidance and mentoring to our club

exclusively.”

The club has introduced a mentoring program for girls this season that includes specific skills training as well as mindset and confidence coaching.

The girls are responding positively and we’re sure that providing them with the extra support they need to feel confident on the field will go a long way to keeping them active throughout their teen years and beyond.” Says Roxy Gwyn-Kabayama, Life Coach and one of the mentors running the program.
