Port Stephens Students Kick Off HSC Exam Period

Ex-Paralympian Pat Jensen Joins NOTA Team

Completely RAW for a second year running RIDING on the huge success of last year, Lion Studios is hosting their second ‘Completely RAW’ exhibition at their gallery in Taylors Beach. This exhibition showcases some of Port Stephens' local artistic talent in a ‘raw’ format – unframed and presented as the artist finished creating it – allowing the purchaser to see it as an organic artwork. The group of artists involved have a range of styles and mediums, ranging from landscapes of the local area in soft pastels to abstracts in acrylic paints. Megan Barrass, a popular local artist and participant from last year’s exhibition, said, “This is an opportunity for local artists to show their works in an unframed format,

Deepka Indian Restaurant in Raymond Terrace targeted for serial harrasment FROM Page 1 past few years have been a significant struggle to survive in business. Things have recently become much more difficult due to what appears to be a targeted campaign of harassment by a group of young people from the area. Dharampal Ratra has worked as a restauranter for almost 50 years in Australia and overseas. He immigrated with his family 33 years ago, establishing an Indian restaurant in Tamworth which he operated for 20 years. Approximately five years ago Mr Ratra and his wife made the decision to find a new opportunity closer to Newcastle University to remain close to their grown children. “We were only here two years before the pandemic made everything very difficult,” Mr Ratra reflected. “Since then I have had a lot of trouble finding people to work.” Mr Ratra has had sporadic help from local casual employees, and has been

willing to sponsor migrant workers but has been unable to find suitably trained staff for some time. “I work everyday by myself,” he says, describing the pressure of duties required to maintain his restaurant. “I clean and I cook and I answer the phone and handle the money. “It’s becoming too much.” Unfortunately Mr Ratra’s difficulties have been exacerbated recently by youths who seem to have selected his establishment as a favourite target of antisocial behaviour. Beginning on Monday 8 October, and returning for five days in a row, the youths have allegedly come to the shopfront to bang on windows and locked doors, throw pieces of outdoor furniture across the courtyard and have targeted Mr Ratra himself on several occasions, including throwing footwear at him. “On the first day they came into the restaurant and asked for food and drinks, but they had no money. “I asked them to leave. “After that they have

come everyday, banging on the doors and making a mess outside.” Footage captured by security cameras on site show the youths arriving at the restaurant on five separate occasions in the one week. Each time they peer inside the restaurant before forcibly shaking a locked door, then running away. They return each time and loiter in the courtyard outside. “I know everyday that they come after the bus has arrived. “Anytime after four o’clock they come.” Mr Ratra has reported these instances to local police, but it is not the first time that he has had to deal with this kind of situation. For the past few months the restaurant has been plagued by a series of harassing phone calls in which an unidentified caller has spoken nonsense and made vague threats against Mr Ratra. Approximately two months ago, Mr Ratra’s restaurant was vandalised when young people tore a lighting cable from his

This incident was again captured by security cameras, with the footage revealing a group of four or five youths - two of them girls - climbing onto the roof of the restaurant to pull the decorative lighting

strip away from the window. “In all my years of working, I have never experienced this kind of behaviour,” said Mr Ratra, who is deeply frustrated with the lack of consequences. “The police say they are

still looking into all of these things, but there is not much that they can do.” At present Mr Ratra has at least six incidents being investigated. Local police declined to comment on the situation.

allowing the collector to add their own requirements to the hanging of the piece. “RAW provides great opportunities for art lovers to grab a quality piece of art at a fabulous price!” Lion Studios has been a constant support for local artists since the 1970s, not only professionally framing and printing artworks, but

selling and showcasing artworks in their gallery space at Taylors Beach and hosting dedicated art exhibitions by local artists. Lion Studios are also now holding six-week ‘Learn to Paint’ workshops run by local artists. Kim Mackenzie from Lion Studios said the exhibition is unique in Port Stephens. “It has been designed to showcase a broad range of

art styles, all in one location,” Kim said. “We understand that for artists the costs of framing and presenting their art can be a huge burden especially considering the current economic times. It’s the perfect opportunity to purchase some local art in its raw format and, if needed, organise the framing to suit your home all in the one location.

“What a great opportunity to organise some unique gifts for Christmas and fill those bare walls!” Completely RAW will have an opening night on Thursday 2 November from 5pm, with the exhibition running until November 24 2023. Lion Studios is located at Unit 7/19 Shearwater Drive, Taylors Beach.

this issue, however many people have been sharing their views with their elected representatives, in person and via social media, with aggression and threats. “Whether you like or agree with someone who's put themselves forward in the political arena, it is important to put your message forward with respect and to keep in mind that Councillors are local members of the community, too, and we care deeply about it. "I attended the very first community consultation session on this proposal and have been keeping up to date on the community's

concerns and the information being provided by the Federal Government. “I am looking forward to the environmental studies being made available so that as a community, we can see once and for all what the impact will be on our environment. “I encourage our community to continue turning up, continue making your voice heard, but I just encourage that to be done in a respectful way." Councillor Arnott said it made sense for Council to “wait until we have all the information to reconsider this proposal”. “I have been working with Cr Anderson to understand all the concerns of the community and I look forward to better understanding the potential environmental implications of this proposal,” he said.

Council to oppose offshore wind farms until studies completed By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens Council has voted to oppose potential offshore wind farm developments off the Hunter coast until environmental impact statements and other scientific evidence is made available. At last week's Port Stephens Council meeting, Councillors Giacomo Arnott and Leah Anderson moved an urgency motion, unanimously supported by Mayor Ryan Palmer and all Councillors, relating to the declared offshore wind zone off the coast of Port Stephens. Council resolved at the meeting to oppose the

proposal until environmental impact statements and other scientific evidence is made available to the community in a full, open and transparent manner. Councillor Leah Anderson told News Of The Area, “Our Council has taken action to make our position clear, and to deliver a balanced approach to the potential benefits of the proposed wind farm while also reflecting the voice of the community.” Ms Anderson called on the community to keep dialogue respectful when expressing concerns on the issue. "I appreciate that many people have strong views on

following brawl investigation FIVE people have been charged following an investigation into a brawl at Raymond Terrace last month. About 5.30pm on Saturday 9 September 2023, police responded to reports of a brawl at a sporting complex on Leisure Way, Raymond Terrace. Officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Police District dispersed the crowd and commenced an investigation into the incident. Following extensive inquiries, five males

were arrested over their roles and charged with affray. A 26-year-old man was refused bail to appear before Newcastle Local Court on Monday 9 October 2023. Three men - aged 23, 28 and 35 - were granted conditional bail to appear before Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday 16 October 2023. A 17-year-old boy was issued a court attendance notice to appear before a children's court on Wednesday 13 December 2023.

Council also noted the Federal Government's position that the declared offshore wind zone could create 3,000 construction jobs and 1,500 ongoing jobs, as well as five gigawatts of electricity for the east coast energy grid. The General Manager will now provide a report to Council seeking the Council's opinion

on whether to continue opposing the offshore wind farm, or whether to support it, at the following stages: a. When the Environmental Impact Statement has been made available. b. At the first meeting at the start of the new term of Council in 2024 to reaffirm Council's position.

approval of a grant that would finance the entire project. The agency involved subsequently “changed their mind” about fully funding the project, which left Port Stephens Council in the position of having to request completion funds from local residents themselves. “I’ve had quite a few phone calls and emails… with people being surprised and shocked at this.

“Especially some of the pensioners who have expressed that they can’t afford to have to do this.” While the initial request has been communicated to residents already, the motion has requested that the General Manager's office contact residents again to let them know that there will be no co-contributions necessary until such a time as the Council have resolved the dispute with the funding agency. The motion was unanimously supported.

Council gives reprieve for Marine Drive works By Lindsay HALL

IN a motion that will certainly be welcomed by residents of Marine Drive in Fingal Bay, Port Stephens Council has agreed to postpone requesting funds from property owners to complete repair works while they seek to resolve a dispute with the agency that initially agreed to fund the project. In an emergency motion

put to Council at their most recent meeting on Tuesday 10 October, Cr Leah Anderson asked the Council to note that “co-contribution funds” had been requested from residents of the Fingal Bay Street to finance a series of road works that will reconstruct gutters and curbs that have experienced significant storm damage. These works had been commissioned following the

THE national rental vacancy rate moved even lower in September, dropping 0.06 percentage points (ppt) to reach a new low of just 1.06 percent. The proportion of rental properties sitting vacant is now 55 percent below March 2020 levels. In the Hunter, excluding Newcastle, the vacancy rate is even lower, at 0.92 percent.

In the rest of NSW, the vacancy rate is now 1.22 percent, down 40 percent since March 2020. “Rental conditions deteriorated further in September, with the proportion of rental properties sitting vacant hitting a new low,” said Anne Flaherty, Economist, PropTrack. “Vacancy was down in both capital city and regional areas, with renters feeling the squeeze across the country. “Vacancy is now sitting

well under one percent in three of Australia’s capital cities. “More markets are expected to fall below one percent over the coming year as demand continues to grow. “Across Australia’s regional areas, every state has seen vacancy fall by at least 20 percentage points over the quarter,” Flaherty said. Declining vacancy rates are increasing competition for rentals and placing growing pressure on rents. As a result, rents are predicted to continue rising at above trend levels over the coming months, particularly in the capitals.

He kicked off his campaign with the Men’s Downhill Vision Impaired event, finishing in eighth with a time of 1:23.71, +10.26 seconds behind gold medallist Johannes Aigner. On Day 2, Pat finished in sixth position in the Men’s Super G Vision Impaired event, recording a time of 1:16.25, +7.34 seconds behind gold medallist Neil Simpson of Great Britain. “Throughout my career I competed in countless events in many countries all around the world, but the result I am

most proud of is sixth place in the Downhill at the 2022 Paralympics in Beijing. “I clocked in at 129 kilometres per hour and even though it wasn’t a podium finish, it was the most fun I have ever had on skis.” Then, in the Men’s Super Combined Vision Impaired event, Pat finished in eighth in the Super G leg of the event, however, a crash in the Slalom leg saw him register a DNF. After a solid first run in the Men’s Giant Slalom Vision Impaired on Day 6, Pat was unable to finish his second run to ultimately record a DNF. He closed his campaign with his third top ten finish of the Games in the Men’s Slalom Vision Impaired, finishing in eighth place with a time of 1:51.88. “The Paralympics is such a great time, it’s a chance to put on the green and gold

and give it everything on the biggest stage. “I found I wasn't as nervous as usual before races, it was more of an exciting time and a chance for your friends and family to see what Paralympic Ski racing is all about.” Pat finished his Paralympic Ski career with an impressive haul of medals from across the globe. “I have won a handful of national titles in several countries in Europe, which feels pretty good, knowing they grew up in the snow, while I grew up on the beach,” Pat said. Taking a hiatus from Paralympic sport, Pat is now pursuing his passion for community and the written word as a freelance contributor with News Of The Area. “Writing for News Of The Area is a lot of fun, it is a

opportunity for me. “I have become further connected to my community and importantly those who care passionately about their causes. “I have had the privilege to meet some amazing people who are doing amazing things locally and internationally. “I am valued and respected by my community as is the publication. “As a NOTA reporter I

Pat, in his chosen sport of Para-alpine skiing, contested both the Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang in 2018 and Beijing in 2022. Hailing from Nelson Bay, Pat first hit the slopes in 2013 at a Disabled Wintersport Australia camp and quickly made a name for himself in Para-alpine skiing circles, debuting for Australia that same year at the IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup in Thredbo. “I was always a sporty kid running around, running into things and not looking back,” Pat said, who was diagnosed with macular dystrophy and Stargardt disease at the age of seven. “When the opportunity for taking sport more seriously came at the end of school I wasn’t too interested, then I found out I could get a free snow trip if I went along and tried skiing out as a sport. “As soon as I tried it I was hooked.” Pat made his long awaited Olympic debut at PyeongChang 2018, coming eleventh in the Men’s Giant Slalom Visually Impaired division. At the 2019 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, he finished seventh in both the

Port Stephens students kick off HSC exam period

q Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington (right) and her daughter Lily.

LAST Wednesday, 340 Port Stephens HSC students began their 2023 HSC exams, starting with English Paper 1, before the last exams on November 3. "The HSC Class of 2023 have been working hard to get to this point and Port Stephens students deserve to feel proud of all that they have already achieved,” Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said. Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington said she hoped all local students entered the exam rooms with a sense of achievement and confidence. “As a mum of one of our 2023 HSC students, I'm so proud of each and every student who’s sitting their first HSC exam today,” Ms Washington said last week. “It's been a long and hard road for this cohort, and I wish them all well. “Each student has done the hard work leading up to this point, and now is the time for students to show what they know.” Ms Washington said the community of Port Stephens was behind "each and every student” as they step into this final chapter of their thirteen years of schooling. “Thank you to our local school teachers, support staff, and principals, for all they've done to support our students throughout their school years. "Local families working in partnership with our local schools have brought these students to this critical point, building the foundations for success.

"Whilst thirteen years of schooling ends with HSC exams, it's just the beginning of beautiful futures for our year 12 students." The HSC is a large operation that sees close to 70,000 HSC students sit exams over an 18-day period. Another 8,150 students studying one or more HSC courses will also sit exams over the next three weeks. Most of these students are not yet in Year 12. It means that in NSW around 77,000 students will sit a total of 400,000 unique exam sessions. Students are set to receive their HSC results and ATARs on Thursday 14 December.

Large-scale energy storage solutions on show LOCAL members of Renew's Hunter Region Branch attended a Hunter Innovation Festival Roadshow event last Wednesday exploring energy storage systems. Hosted by Varley Group at their Tomago plant, this special event, supported by Port Stephens Council, recognised the contribution of local businesses to global innovative solutions.

The event highlighted the large-scale energy storage needed to address not only residential but industrial energy needs as the world transitions to renewable energy. “To solve the energy crisis, we will need a whole range of different solutions to both renewable generation but more importantly storage, most of which are still

emerging,” said Ewa Meyer, Convenor, Renew Hunter Region Branch. Two local businesses, MGA Thermal and LAVO, presented their innovative solutions. MGA Thermal is a local company developing high capacity energy storage using bricks containing embedded molten aluminium. They recently

Cleaning up Port Stephens waterways LOCAL Land Services and Clean4Shore are partnering to remove marine debris from Port Stephens waterways and are seeking more volunteers to join. The Clean & Cruise events help reduce harm to marine life – and humans – by removing plastic waste from the environment and avoiding the creation of new microplastics in our waterways. Everyone 18-plus is

welcome – however, you must be able to swim. Ages 16-17 are welcome under the supervision of a parent/carer/guardian. On Friday 20 October the Clean & Cruise starts from the Tomago Boat ramp. Arrive at 8.45am for a 9am departure, returning to shore at 12 noon. Further Clean & Cruise events will depart from Lemon Tree Passage on Monday 23 October, Thursday

commissioned a new manufacturing plant for their bricks, developed in collaboration with Newcastle University, which can store renewable energy and then provide high temperature steam used for conventional electricity generation. While they were in the media recently when a fault on their first test plant triggered an emergency services response, the concept and its application of their idea is attracting international

interest from large energy suppliers and consumers. LAVO is another Australian company, also looking at energy storage solutions but with a different focus. As part of their innovation, they are attacking the longer term storage problem using a range of technologies including green hydrogen generation and patented storage and transport solutions that can deliver for residential and

small business up to large scale customers. They have recently established pilot green hydrogen generation and storage in South Australia and partner with organisations around the world to find solutions to powering industry in a sustainable energy world. The Hunter Innovation Festival is running until 27 October with roadshow events, then culminating in an Action Summit in Newcastle.

q Volunteers are sought to help remove plastic from the marine environment.

17 November and Friday 15 December. A further Tomago date is still to be confirmed. Register for any event at https://regionalnsw. qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ eapiXFE5yWwcbIi. Bring your own hat, water bottle and towel. Wetsuit bottoms, a life jacket, gloves and booties are provided. If you are part of a school, Landcare, community, sports, or business group that would like to get involved in helping to clean up areas in Newcastle, Port Stephens, or Lake Macquarie, get in touch with Jono from Clean4Shore at jonomacs@bigpond.com to organise a date that suits.

Kelvin Kong leads Hunter Innovation Festival line-up

PROFESSOR Kelvin Kong, a proud Worimi man and the country’s first Indigenous surgeon, will headline this week’s Hunter Innovation Festival. Hailing from Port Stephens, Dr Kong, a top ear, nose and throat surgeon, was named the NAIDOC Person of the Year for 2023. Dr Kong was also the 2021 Newcastle Citizen of the Year. Other keynote speakers at the Festival include Australian business and finance leader Mark Bouris AM, NSW Modern Manufacturing Commissioner Lisa Emerson, and Port of Newcastle’s Chief Commercial Officer, Simon Byrnes. They will be joined by inspiring local business leaders from a broad range of sectors. The festival aims to inspire and promote a culture of innovation amongst Hunter businesses, researchers, industry, and the wider community to help position the Hunter region as an internationally recognised centre for innovation. Hunter Innovation Festival Chair Alex Brennan says the festival is a one-day program featuring high-profile keynote speakers, twelve distinct panel discussions focused on subjects selected by the innovation ecosystem itself, 23 local innovative business displays and a showcase in Newcastle’s Wheeler Place with some of the most impressive, modern battery-powered vehicle technology the region has to offer. “The growing profile of the Hunter Innovation Festival is reflected by the profile of our keynote speakers, as we focus on expanding our reach and connectedness beyond the Hunter to other regional and capital innovation ecosystems.

Salamander Bay business put corflute signs to good use By Pat JENSEN FOR 32 years, Deeps Engineering have made it their focus to reduce their environmental footprint by getting as much plastic waste out of our bins and recycled correctly. Deeps Engineering, based in Salamander Bay, specialise in custom plastic injection moulding. “We invested in a largescale grinder, giving us the ability to cut the waste going into our bins by almost 60 percent, which is huge for us.

“We not only grind and recycle our plastic waste but we have now teamed up with Hunter New England Health, Salamander Bay Recycling Center and our local parliament members and collected clean waste to recycle,” said Rachel Jameson, Sales, Marketing and Production Manager at Deeps Engineering. The company’s most recent discovery is that corflute signs, like the ones used in last weekend's Referendum, are another of the materials that can be recycled and put to good use. “At Deeps Engineering, we can grind these signs up and use them in various

products we manufacture, keeping them out of landfill and entering them into the circular economy. “We have always had the ability to recycle some of our materials in small quantities but wanted to do better,” said Rachel. With the Referendum last weekend, Rachel noticed a lot of signs popping up in the area and knew the opportunity was there to open up as a drop off point for these signs to be recycled. “After discovering corflute signs are made of polypropylene we decided to reach out to our local members, Meryl Swanson and Kate Washington. “They jumped on board and organised for pallets of corflute signs to be delivered

from previous years’ voting polls. “We put them through the grinder and moulded some product out of it and it turned out fantastic,” said Rachel. “We are by no means a huge recycling plant, but we are doing what we can for our beautiful beach town and our local community. “We live in a beautiful part of the country with beautiful coastlines, walking tracks and parks and we should all do our part to keep

it that way. “If we can help to remove some of the potential waste from going to landfill then we are happy to help,” said Rachel.

Rockin’ and rollin’ in Nelson Bay By Pat JENSEN

GET your dancing shoes on for the 23rd annual Nelson Bay Rock ‘n’ Roll Festival this weekend (20-22 October). Kicking off on Friday afternoon and rocking through to Sunday evening, the action packed weekend consists of three live bands and upwards of 500 people dancing their hearts out - all dressed up in their favourite rock ‘n’ roll attire. Dancing kicks off at 7pm on Friday and Saturday night, while Sunday kicks off at 1pm for an arvo boogie. Friday evening will have you dancing along to the amazing tunes of Hunter band The Blue Suede Boppers. Keeping the party

going on Saturday, Robbie Urquhart and the Reminders take the stage. Finally, on Sunday afternoon, Brien McVernon with the Rockets from Oz will be getting everyone up to rock out and dance the day away. “23 years ago now I was one of one people to get this Rock ‘n’ Roll dance festival up and running,” said Keith Barnard, President of the Nelson Bay Rock ‘n’ Roll Club. Keith said many of the attendees over the weekend will be from other areas, and other clubs who run the same style of events. “The whole weekend is free, so we invite anyone who is interested to come along and take a look.

Thursday, 19 October 2023

“It is not a ticketed event, so swing by,” said Keith. For those who love the style, the Nelson Bay Rock ‘n’ Roll Club is always on the lookout for new members. “We are quite happy to have anyone come and join our Rock ‘n’ Roll Club. “We meet twice a week at Nelson Bay Wests, and would love for new people to come and join us.” Every Tuesday night at 7pm the club takes part in dance lessons. On Wednesday nights from 7pm social dancing is held at the Wests League Club in Nelson Bay. “Dancing is known for its physical, mental and social benefits, everyone should give it a go,” said Keith.

Anyone in the local community with corflute signage, either from previous voting polls or the Referendum last weekend, is encouraged to drop them off

at 6 George Road, Salamander Bay to be recycled. “Please only drop off what we have asked for,” said Rachel.

October 2023 - PINK RIBBON Play your part in breast cancer research

Raising AWAREN and Raising MO ESS NEY $2 00 was donated fro

THE National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is one of Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisations funding world-class breast cancer research towards a vision of zero deaths from breast cancer. Since its inception in 1994, NBCF

has invested around $200 million into more than 600 world-class research projects across Australia. In this time, death rates from breast cancer in Australia have improved by 43 percent. “We’ve seen remarkable results, but the job’s not done,” a

National Breast Cancer Foundation spokesperson said. “At NBCF, we’re determined to create a better tomorrow. “We know research matters, and it is central and critical to improving breast cancer outcomes. “That’s why we fund the very best breast cancer research in Australia by awarding grants via an open national, competitive and rigorous peer review process.”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each year Pink Ribbon Breakfasts are held around the country to raise money for vital breast cancer research. Nikki, a Pink Ribbon Breakfast host from 2020-2022, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer in 2020. “The news of my breast cancer diagnosis came as a shock along

with the discovery I carry the BRCA2 gene mutation,” Nikki said. “Since then my eldest daughter, my mum and sister have found out they carry the mutation. “With four daughters, hosting an event was important to help raise much needed funds for breast cancer research.” To find out more, visit www. nbcf.org.au

Local artist seeks partner for public art installation ARTIST Mark Wojcik has put the call out for local businesses and community organisations to partner with on the installation of a Port Stephens-based art project. The project consists of photos taken at various locations around Port Stephens highlighting wildlife, landscapes and people, a short story detailing Mark’s changing relationship with his childhood hometown of Nelson Bay, and a map detailing the locations of each of the photos. “The project deals with some great themes which appeal to a wide audience - encouraging exploration in nature, nostalgia and our changing relationship with the places we grew up,” Mark q The project includes a set of photos taken at various locations around Port Stephens.

told News Of The Area. “Ideally, the project would be a permanent or semipermanent installation - perhaps at the start of a Tomaree National Park

bushwalking trail, in a hotel foyer, a shopfront or external wall of a local business, or in another public space.” Mark hopes the project will bring cultural vibrance

to the area in which it is installed and encourage more visitors. Mark Wojcik is a Newcastle-based creative working across a range of media, including film photography, books and video.

Previous projects include the ‘2hrsnorth’ group exhibition documenting the suburbs of Newcastle - shown at the Newcastle Museum, and the ‘Da-Le!’ ~ A Journey Through Latin America' exhibition and book launch - shown at Studio

DEAR Jasminda,

By RYAN PALMER Mayor, Port Stephens Council

Williamtown Special Activation Precinct THE Williamtown Special Activation Precinct (SAP) was announced by the NSW Government in May 2020. The Williamtown SAP was one of 7 SAPs across NSW which would see the NSW Government deliver a fast-tracked planning process to drive increased investment, development and the delivery of enabling infrastructure. The Williamtown SAP would support the growing defence, aviation and aerospace industries and was expected to create thousands of jobs and attract millions of investment to Port Stephens and the Hunter region over the next 20 years. Over the past four years, Council and the Port Stephens community has worked closely with the NSW State Government to develop the Master Plan for this internationally recognised precinct. Along with forming a key part of our investment attraction campaigns for Port Stephens, the Williamtown SAP was an opportunity to resolve the longstanding issue of PFAS impacting landholders. In September this year, as the finalisation of the SAP process was nearing completion, the NSW State Government announced the cancellation of the Williamtown SAP. Funding was withdrawn and no alternate solution was provided, leaving a lost opportunity for Port Stephens and the greater Hunter region. As a Council, we know too well that development in Williamtown is difficult. But we also know there are solutions to the constraints and other issues that exist in the area. Unfortunately, these issues cannot be fixed by Council alone and we need a whole of government approach to planning for this precinct. We know this decision won’t impact the Newcastle Airport’s $110 million terminal expansion or the significant investments at Astra Aerolab, but the Williamtown SAP continuing would be an advantage for these projects as well. Recently, we have been advocating to the State and Federal Governments for a solution – we’re asking for the reinvestment of SAP funding and both strategic and financial support for Council to finalise the Master Plan for Williamtown. As a community, we need to keep this project moving, leverage the work already completed and continue to support the Newcastle Airport, the Department of Defence and the PFAS impacted landholders. We need a clear plan for the future of Williamtown to realise the significant economic and employment opportunities that exist.

READING by Lynne Miles: Proverbs 8: 32 & 33"Now then, my sons (and daughters), listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction and be wise, do not ignore it."

Renewable energy? Not in my backyard!

DEAR News Of The Area,

THE current furore surrounding the proposed offshore wind farm demonstrates just how difficult it will be for any government to implement a timely transition to clean energy. It has become clear that although most people profess to be in favour of the transition to renewables, few are comfortable with having the necessary generation and transmission infrastructure located anywhere near them. Most will say things like "this is not the right place" or "it should be somewhere else". Of course, nobody is prepared to suggest specifically where the "right place" should be because they realise that their suggestion

is simply not feasible, or the residents of "somewhere else" will be just as strongly opposed as they are. I have questions and reservations about the local offshore wind farm project but I am prepared to consider the objective assessments as they take place. Who knows, we might even come to the conclusion that the possible detrimental social and environmental effects of renewable energy generation and transmission are not as bad as the detrimental effects of global warming? Regards, Col NICHOLSON, Hawks Nest.

Why are onshore renewables not being considered? DEAR News Of The Area,

RECENTLY I have seen several reports where the Government says it will continue to consult with the community regarding offshore wind farms. Implied in those reports is a belief on the part of the Government that it is sufficient to listen to and understand our concerns. From my perspective consultation and understanding of community opposition is somewhat disingenuous if the Government proceeds apace with implementing plans for offshore wind farms around the Australian coast without telling us, based on verifiable

evidence, why none of the many onshore renewable energy options are worth pursuing. Given the climate emergency, why are the tried and tested onshore options of wind, solar, hydro and batteries, which can be operational in six to eight years versus a minimum of ten years for offshore wind, not being seriously considered? Why are they pursuing a really expensive poorly researched option to the exclusion of everything else? Regards, Cherylle STONE, Soldiers Point.

DEAR BUSINESS OWNERS

Friends recently invited us to their home for a wood-fired pizza night. As committed pizza makers, we were excited to show off our skills and arrived with toppings for a spectacular salmon pizza. After spending time arranging red onion rings, slivers of salmon, bocconcini, arugula, a secret mayonnaise recipe, capers, and a drizzle of cold-pressed Olive Oil, our winning pizza was delivered with pride to the host who somehow managed to fling it off the pizza placing peel and onto the pebblecovered ground (at which point his dog licked it). He then scooped it up and tried to turn it into some sort of Yorkshire pudding even though it was clearly inedible. For one terrible moment, before I intervened, he seemed to be leaning towards cooking it regardless and serving it to the assembled guests. It put a bit of a damper on the evening. Gregorio F. Dear Gregorio, The Yorkshire pudding put a damper on the evening? You’re good. Are you trying to take my job? I’ll have you know this position involved a gruelling interview process. Sort of like a cross between Squid Game and a public service job application. I suspect, with a name like Gregorio, you are not only committed to food, but a bit fanatical (and quite possibly neurotic). Your ingredients suggest that you didn’t see this as an evening of friendly banter, but an opportunity for some robust one-upmanship. Your host felt that too, no doubt, and so what (to the casual observer) looked like a simple misstep was more an act of brinkmanship. It could have gone either way. Had you allowed your host to cook the pizza, your acquiescence would have been on full display as the social group silently compared his crisp, minimalistic pepperoni pizza to your hot mess of polychlorinated biphenyls, Bunnings Tuscan path pebbles and dog slobber. Instead, by removing your exhibit from the equation, the question of your pizza’s relative superiority will always remain. The social group will await the next instalment (perhaps a Turducken evening) with bated (not baited) breath. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Mulwee Public - Old Swan Bay School Stinker’s

Fishin’

Mulwee staff and students.

and Stories

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE ONE cannot write about Swan Bay without mentioning Mulwee Public School which first opened for business in 1889. From what I have read it really was a wonderful school that taught from eight to 31 pupils before closing nearly 100 years later. One of the typical stories was told by George Lilley who enrolled in 1949. “I clearly remember my first teacher, Miss Martin, a kind and understanding person, so much so, that if you misbehaved in class and you cried after a caning, she would give you a cuddle and end up crying with you. “I also remember her being elderly, she used to use a large looking glass for reading and correcting our work and whenever there was a chance someone would take the opportunity of using her glass to burn holes in any of the worksheets. “She would think that someone

had been smoking and kept us all in after school to find the culprit.” Rosemaree Davis recalled her teacher Mr Griffiths doubling her to

school until she could get her own bike. Peter and Wendy Dobson remember well the day that Glenn

In my opinion it is the ability to catch a wide variety of fish with regularity. To have the unique skill to think like a fish. This skill is gained by many hours on the water studying all the variables that determine whether you will or will not catch a fish. Many others concentrate their efforts on one or two species and they become very good at it. Those listed however have shown over the years that they can catch anything. All those listed also include

their families in their outings which makes fishing a family affair. My old mate, the late Bill Croft, could fit comfortably with those I have listed. Crofty carved out his own lures and studied fish habits from the upper reaches of the Karuah River to the depths of the outer reefs. Fishing wasn’t a recreation, it was a challenge which led to an addiction. For most of us fishing is more of a recreational experience and catching a fish can be a bonus. In the great recreational experience that we call fishing there are anglers and danglers. No matter your ability, the experience is always rewarding.

Stinker’s Fishin’: Anglers and danglers By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE

OCCASIONALLY I am asked who I consider to be the best recreational fisher in Port Stephens. There are many who reach the finals including Wayne Coles, George Trinkler, Brent Hancock, Benny Doolan and Paul Lennon. Any of these could catch a fish in a wash basin. There are many levels of fishing expertise and those listed are certainly at the highest level. So what makes someone a better fisher than someone else? q Wayne Coles with a flathead caught and released in Tilligerry Creek.

This was not a good idea, especially for the passing tourist who drove his car into the roadside ditch.

Get ready for Pindimar Markets

q Pindimar Markets were a hit last year, set to be bigger and even better this year!

By Thomas O’KEEFE

SPRING is not sprung without the Pindimar Markets, set to be the biggest and best ever this year on Saturday, 28 October. Held at the Pindimar Rural Fire Service (RFS) shed on Koree Street, North Pindimar, the Markets are burgeoning as a veritable fiesta of local talent and trade, as well as doubling as a major information fair for the local Emergency Services, and information on the potential and controversial offshore wind farms. The big tent will host the RFS, State Emergency Service, Marine Rescue, and MidCoast Council’s fire SimTable, which simulates bushfire movement over terrain. This will also be the local RFS ‘Get Ready Weekend’, a good chance for anyone thinking of joining to ask questions.

q Pindimar/Tea Gardens RFS Shed on Koree St, North Pindimar, will be the epicentre of the Markets, as always.

Veteran golfers in Port for SPORT annual week of golf A HUGE programme of events has been organised for visiting veteran golfers this year. The week of golf known as the Port Stephens Accommodations Week of Golf 2023 is an annual event for female and male golfers aged over 55 years of age and is so popular it was fully booked out this year six months in advance. The event runs from Sunday 29 October to Friday 3 November across four local golf courses - Pacific Dunes,

“A great opportunity to find out about what's involved with joining the Brigade, how you can benefit from training courses, making a difference, and help build resilient communities,” RFS President Helmut Panhuber told NOTA. The Pindimar-Bundabah Community Association (PBCA) needs volunteers to help - there will be stalls, car-boot sales, a farm petting zoo, and the Pearls of Port Stephens’ ‘Buy My Wardrobe’ charity pop-up op-shop inside the shed. “Amazing food, homebrew beer tasting, old-fashioned chocolatewheel, fantastic barbecued beef brisket, pork sausage, and sauerkraut from a secret family recipe – all locally-sourced as possible,” PBCA President Vivien Panhuber told NOTA. Kids can explore the RFS trucks,

attempt the quintessential thongthrow, or join the auction of Silk Islands’ luxurious silk kaftans, with live music from locals Doug Gillespie and Ben Burgess. "Proceeds go to improving community services and increasing patronage of the Community Hall, allowing it to be used for more events that can return benefits to the community, such as ‘Bubs and Co’, ladies’ Meet n Greet, Friday Craft Group, yoga, First Aid and Eco Burn courses, and the recent inaugural Pindimar Muster, as well as helping fund picnic tables for the foreshore, new signage and a community garden for Bundabah.” Visitors are asked to bring cash, as the EFTPOS signal is terrible on location. For more information, contact pbcassociation12@gmail.com.

Horizons, Nelson Bay and Tanilba Bay. It draws golfers from New Zealand, Queensland, Victoria and all over NSW and is nearly an even split with 72 men and 78 ladies in the field.

Medowie FC mentor Matt Morris named Community Football Coach of Year By Chris KARAS

RESPECTED Port Stephens soccer mentor Matt Morris has been recognised for his enormous contribution to grassroots and community football. The Medowie FC stalwart capped a prosperous 2023 season when recently presented with the Northern NSW Local Champion Community Football Coach of the Year Award. A chuffed Morris accepted the trophy at this year’s Northern NSW Football’s Van Egmond Jennings Awards Night at the Newcastle Exhibition and Convention Centre. It is a huge honour for the Bumblebees Head Coach who piloted the Medowie club to the Under 15 Division 1 Boys Grand Final and the first and reserve grade

squads into finals contention in the Newcastle Football inter district and Zone 2 competitions. His tireless efforts in fostering the club’s grassroots junior pathway programs and senior talent reaped rewards this season with Medowie lifting the Under 12 Division One and Under 14 Division One premiership trophies and featuring in several finals fixtures. The super coach told News Of The Area that Medowie FC’s 2023 campaign was “a good club effort”. “From our junior grades right through to seniors our performances and achievements were encouraging,” Morris reflected. “We remained competitive throughout the season with many players showing improvement and to win both the Under 12 and Under 14 Grand Finals was icing on the

cake,” he said. The Medowie FC legend is always out to help others, spending all of his spare time during the soccer season coaching his Under 15s and Zone teams. When Matt isn’t coaching, he is helping other coaches or fulfilling his committee duties. He initiated the Buddy Program at the Medowie club this year which saw a team from the younger age groups join in with his Zone sides for training each week. This initiative proved highly popular and is an excellent way to connect the youth players with the senior warriors within the club. There is only a short break for the hard working coach before implementing his plans and preseason schedule for the 2024 season.

respected fitness guru can be found honing his defensive skills in the sport of ultimate frisbee. The Medowie native was introduced to Ultimate by a friend back in 2008 and was immediately hooked. He gravitated to this non-contact team sport played with a disc flung by hand as it tested his endurance, speed, balance and athletic prowess.

Two teams of seven players compete on a playing field about the same length as a football field but narrower and at each end there is an end zone that teams defend. “Teams can score a goal if one of their players catches the disc in the opposite end zone,” the experienced Hayes told News Of The Area. “As a defensive player Ultimate really challenges your endurance

and stamina and that is why I enjoy playing in either the field or beach version of the sport,” Tim revealed. The frisbee warrior is part of the much vaunted Newcastle Pie Wagon Mixed Ultimate line up – tagged the most consistent Division One Mixed team in Australia. Having competed in three of the past four World Ultimate Club Championships events, the Pie Wagons have proved tremendous ambassadors for the sport. “For a regional town to perform as well as we do speaks volumes for the pathway programs and talent in our country,” reflected Hayes. The defensive ace linked with the Pie Wagons back in 2013 and has carved out a decorated career to date that includes representing Australia in the beach version of the sport.

On the national club scene, Tim has produced herculean displays to spearhead the Pie Wagons to silver medals in 2018 and 2019 and helped them finish ninth at the World Ultimate Club Championships in Ohio. He was identified as one of the country’s best defenders when selected to represent Australia at the World Championships Beach Ultimate 2017 in France and the Asia-Oceanic Beach Ultimate Championships held in Japan during 2019. On the local front, Pie Wagon has a team competing in each of the Division Two and Division One Australian Mixed Ultimate events being held on Friday October 20 and October 27 respectively at Tomaree Sports Complex.

Meet Corlette’s Tyler McInnes: the rising spin king of Hunter cricket q Fifteen-year-old Corlette cricketer Tyler McInnes is rated one of the State’s best leg spinning prospects.

By Chris KARAS LEG spin wizard Shane Warne inspired generations of budding cricketers across the globe during an illustrious international career that spanned nearly two decades. One of the prospective young bowlers he influenced was Corlette’s Tyler McInnes – a rising talent with the Stockton and Northern Districts club in the Newcastle District Cricket competition. Fifteen-year-old Tyler recalls viewing a Shane Warne Masterclass video on a YouTube loop for countless hours in an attempt to learn the finer points of leg spin bowling. “At the time I would have been eleven years old and sat transfixed as the great man delivered a clinic on my laptop screen,” the promising all rounder told News Of The Area. “I studied Warne’s style intensively and practised for many hours in the backyard and local cricket nets modelling my action on the Australian Test great,” revealed Tyler. “When I asked my coach if I could switch to bowling leg spin during a club match soon after he was a little apprehensive,”

recalled Tyler. But to his team’s surprise, the precocious spinner bowled with an unerring accuracy and cleaned up the opposition in a dazzling debut performance.

With another string to his bow, the gifted McInnes has been fast-tracked by Stockton on the Newcastle cricket scene and is now a fully-fledged all rounder in the Seagulls’ second grade X1.

“I’ve developed my long and short game and have more control of my nerves during tournaments,” revealed Amy, who is coached by Newcastle pro Mark Ingrey. “He has proved a major influence on my career and has taken my golf to another level,” she said. “Not only has Mark improved my skills and mindset but has brought fun into my game and helped eliminate those little errors,” Amy reflected. “He comes to most of my tournaments and makes the training and match day tactics more enjoyable,” she added. Amy’s goal is to eventually compete on the LPGA tour. She hopes to follow in the footsteps of Nelson Bay native Cherie Byrnes, 47, who played on the Ladies European Golf Tour for eight consecutive years. Amy also acknowledged her parents Tanya and Paul “for being so supportive and ferrying me around the country”. It has been a memorable year for the multiple Club Championship winner who swung her first golf club as an eagle-eyed eight-year-old on the Nelson Bay course. She honed her golfing skills and competitive spirit during those formative years by participating in a traditional family event – the Squires

Cup Challenge. During the past three years, Amy has lined up against her father Paul, grandfather Leon and uncles Grant and Michael in the annual challenge and eventually upstaged them all. By the age of ten she boasted a handicap of 31 and four years later was a one marker. The decorated teenager holds the distinction of being the youngestever club champion at both Nelson Bay and Horizons – winning the respective titles for the first time at the age of thirteen. She represented Nelson Bay in Junior Pennants and Ladies Weekend Pennants and is a two time winner of the Ladies Foursomes. In recent years Amy has captured the Horizons Mixed Foursomes title and helped the club claim successive Division 1, Division 2 and Division 3 Senior Pennants trophies. Her talent was identified from an early age with selection in the Hunter Regional Academy squads and was only twelve when she broke par for the first time with a round of 70 at the Jack Newton Sub Junior Classic at Hunter Valley Country Club. Other major achievements include winning the Hunter Academy Games and being named Best & Fairest Athlete and Inter District Team Champion at last year’s NSW Junior Championships.

When he requires technical advice he turns to four of his cricket mentors in former Test leg spinner Stuart MacGill, Sydney Thunder coach Mark McInnes (no relation) and Newcastle stalwarts Tommy Anderson and Nick Foster. MacGill, who bagged 214 wickets for Australia, is the spin coach at Gordon Cricket Club where Tyler will pad up for the 2023-24 A.W Green Shield Under 16 campaign. Playing against Shore in a recent trial, the Port Stephens junior cracked 88 off 56 balls before grabbing 3-5 with the ball and sharing an opening stand of 198 with centurion Finn O’Farrell (102 not out). Tyler played his early cricket with Nelson Bay and Newcastle junior representative teams and was training with the Seagulls by the age of eleven. After turning twelve he was promoted to third grade and finished with an impressive haul of 23 wickets for the season – the second highest tally in the competition. McInnes caught the eye of keen judges when he captured an incredible 77 wickets as a thirteen-year-old in both junior and senior formats before cementing his spot in second grade. A power hitting batsman,

Tyler smashed 152 and 89 for his school side St Philip's Christian College at Salamander Bay in the Wilburn Shield and once grabbed ten wickets in a day aged fourteen with hauls of 5-14 (Juniors) and 5-40 for the Seagulls. Back in June he gained valuable experience on English wickets when he toured abroad with the Lyon Cricket Academy Under 21 squad – led by Test spinner Nathan Lyon’s brother Brendan – and helped the side win five of their fourteen matches. Tyler was a promising AFL midfielder with Nelson Bay Marlins and State cross country runner before challenging his energies into cricket. He will also represent Newcastle in this summer’s Bradman Cup Under 16 series along with Seagulls club mates Lucas Vincent and Tremayne Small to be staged in Kempsey and Illawarra region. The leg-spinning ace can push his claims for NSW Metro Under 17 squad selection with strong performances at club and junior representative level in coming weeks. Last Saturday he steered the Seagulls to a second grade limited overs victory over Wallsend at Lynn Oval – mesmerising the Tigers’ batsmen to snare 5-31 off eight overs and posted 26 runs.

Amy has stepped up a class in 2023 and impressed golfing pundits on the Ladies scene. She missed the cut by one shot at the NSW Amateur, Avondale Amateur, Australian Ladies Classic and Concord Cup Ladies tournaments and tied for 37th overall at the Women's NSW Open. At the Australian Amateur

Championships at NSW and St Michael’s she finished 38th overall from a field of 91 golfers – carding two under par for her second round. Amy – who is part of the Golf NSW Targeted Talent Program – will compete in the Concord Club Championships in Sydney before teeing off in the Junior 6’s World Titles at Terrey Hills next month.

Boat Harbour’s national schoolgirls golf champion Amy Squires weighs up US College sporting scholarships FROM Page 28 while completing an Exercise Science degree. If mature performances and natural talent are any guide, then the future looks bright for the newly crowned Australian All Schools Girls stroke champion. The gifted Squires confirmed her status as one of the country’s outstanding young female golfers with a string of tournament victories in recent months. At the Palmer Lakes golf course on the Gold Coast, Amy posted rounds of 68 and 72 to clinch the National All Schools title by three strokes and was a key member of the all conquering NSW squad that won the Teams Championship. In recognition of her deeds, the Tomaree sensation was one of five girls selected in the Australian Schools Merit Team. Amy also chalked up victories in three Jean Derrin events – the Pacific Dunes Bowl, Newcastle Hunter District Ladies Championship and Nelson Bay Ladies Classic - before winning the Jack Newton Fayde Matchplay at Magenta Shores. “Winning those titles has given me the confidence and belief to test my game on the Ladies circuit,” a dedicated Squires told News Of The Area.

SBS, 8.30pm

SBS, 9.30pm

Marc Fennell’s penetrative-yet-humorous investigative style makes everything the talented journo turns his eagle eye to worthy of watching. Fennell, who had us glued to the screen with The Kingdom and Framed, paints a fascinating picture in this gripping, sumptuously shot investigative threeparter, kicking oﬀ tonight. It’s a strange true story that is just begging to be examined in great detail; in outback Western Australia, 1986, 26 European masterpieces were savagely ripped from their frames inside a Spanish monastery. It’s a perplexing, under-the-radar art heist for the ages in which Fennell expertly draws every potent little detail, from the tiny monastic Aussie town to London and New York.

It’s billed as a rom-com, but this new British series is more black than you’d expect. Starring Katherine Parkinson, who sparkled in the cult hit tech comedy The IT Crowd, and Youssef Kerkour (Home), it’s a tale of two broken misﬁts who inexplicably form a connection in the midst of a heart attack and a suicide attempt. It’s a bold premise that wholeheartedly embraces trying to ﬁnd the mirth in melancholy. Set in Manchester, 40-somethings Anna and Sam are each staring at rock bottom, until their misfortunes intersect before an ambulance trip. Somehow, Anna puts up with divorced Sam’s appalling behaviour, which is likely to make you want to scream “Run!” at your screen.

SATURDAY

THE COTSWOLDS WITH PAM AYRES

SBS, 7.30pm

British poet Pam Ayres garnered fans and fame through ditties such as “Oh I Wish I’d Looked After Me Teeth”,and “Please Will You Take Your Children Home Before I Do Them In?”. In this attractive new four-part series, premiering tonight, the witty writer takes a warmhearted trip through her home terrain. Rather than the usual tourist spots, it’s an intimate travelogue of the stunningly beautiful Cotswolds businesses and locals. The softly spoken 76-year-old exudes a soothing quality as she enthusiastically shares her ﬁnds, beginning in Bourton-on-the-Water, a little village that looks ripped straight from a fairytale.
