Matt’s riding all the way to Rio “

We need to raise more awareness and funds for research, which is what Tour de Cure does

“

By CHRISTINA PARKIN WHEN the ‘Tour de Cure’ pedalled into Macleay and Hastings last week, you might have noticed one rider uniquely riding in tandem with his pilot.

Matt Formston was riding in his first Tour de Cure as part of a training regime leading up to the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from September 7-18 this year.

“Naturally, we are aiming for gold,” said Matt, of his partnership with his new pilot, Nic Yallouris, both from the Central Coast of New South Wales.

Since being diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy at age 5, Matt has no central vision and just 5% of his peripheral vision, but has managed to conquer such sports as motorcycling, scuba diving and big water wave surfing.

Matt, a former 2014 world champion cyclist and 2015 silver medallist, was previously paired with pilot, Mick Curran.

Having just returned from the 2016 Para-cycling Track World Championships in Montichiari, Italy, 37-year old Matt has now been selected with his new pilot, Nic,

Matt Formston (standing left) is pictured with pilot Nic Yallouris while their bike is receiving some mechanical attention during their stop for morning tea at Port Macquarie’s Town Beach to compete in the 4km tandem pursuit in the velodrome at the Paralympics.

Matt was noticed by Australian tandem coach Tom Skulander in 2010 and within the year, while cycling with renowned cyclist Phil Thuaux, placed in the top three in two Australian title races and also raced in Denmark.

Pairing with Mick Curran in 2012, the duo became a formidable combination, winning two national titles, the 2013 World Cup in Canada and two golds in the 2014 World Track championships in Mexico.

“This is my first Tour de Cure and it is really

good training – lots of climbing,” said Matt.

“It is inspiring to hear of the stories of cancer – and they really shouldn’t happen.

“We need to raise more awareness and funds for research, which is what Tour de Cure does.

“I would choose to be blind rather than lose a family member to cancer.”

The Tour de Cure consisted of 120 Riders, 40 stage riders and 40 Support Crew to retrace the inaugural route from Brisbane to Sydney, to travel 1,520kms over 10 days, enjoying the Northern Tablelands and majestic coastline.

Various smaller pelotons engaged over 5,000

kids in a ‘be fit, be healthy, be happy’ message at local schools. Tour de Cure raises funds for cancer research, support and prevention projects.

Along the way they donated $10,000 in each community visited to fund a local cancer project.

Before the end of the tour, the organisers had achieved their goal of raising $2.5 million from the tour alone and $4.5million so far in 2016.

Examples of successful research projects funded by Tour de Cure recognised by scientific peers can be found at www.tourdecure.com.au/ pages/about-us/cancer-research-breakthroughs

Register your cuppa and help out a great cause CANCER Council is encouraging people across northern NSW to gather their friends, family or colleagues and register to host their own Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea later this month to help raise vital funds for cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support services.

Now in its 23rd year, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is one of Cancer Council’s leading fundraising events and the largest, most successful event of its kind in Australia.

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea Coordinator Sarah Royall says registering is easy and an event can be anything from a traditional English High

Tea at home, to a baking competition at work or even a tea tasting in the local community.

“This year it’s really about gathering people together, sharing good food over a cuppa, while knowing that your morning tea is helping to give support to people affected by cancer.”

Banana Coast Community Credit Union is blazing the way for local business as they passionately organize one of the biggest crossbranch morning teas the region has seen.

Twenty-five BCU branches will partake in the event through May with all funds being donated to Cancer Council NSW. Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea provides a

way in which the business community can lend support and come together to create positive change in the cancer space.

If you are a local business or individual join Banana Coast Community Credit Union and more than 11,500 morning tea hosts across NSW to help raise over $4.8 million Cancer Council’s research, prevention, advocacy and support programs.

This year the official date is Thursday, May 26, but residents can host any time during May or June.

LETTER WEEK

OF THE

Brought to you by

I HOPE all the mothers in the world were blessed on Mother’s Day and spoilt rotten. I enjoyed the best Mother’s Day surprise ever in the 32 years I have been a mum and enjoyed connecting with all four of my children even though they are spread around the country.

It was also the first time I got to spend Mother’s Day with my Gran in years and the added blessing; because she was there I got a Happy Mother’s Day call from my brother.

So I started the week out feeling particularly blessed…thanks kids!

The flipside, because there is always going to be one…I am totally bemused that Malcom Turnbull held off on calling the election until Sunday. It was tipped that the call would be made either Friday night at latest Saturday; everyone in media spent the weekend poised to act…because that is what is expected of us. Zip, nil, nothing!

And then we get bombarded from first light on Sunday morning… stand by Malcom is going to make his official announcement of a July 2 election around 9am. Good, let’s get it done and dusted so we can get on with the day…oh no! Let’s drag it out over ¾ of the day and not make the announcement until 2.30pm!

Really Malcom? Of all the days to make your non-announcement, leave Mother’s Day alone it’s not Malcom’s day? I hope this is not a sign of things to come?

Following the banks’ money trail RE: Letter Of The Week (Issue Thursday, 21st April) – ‘Banked money takes a long holiday’.

But wait! There is more!

It happens every weekend. Please read your monthly statement or look at your transactions online, especially the dates around weekends. If you trade over weekends, it is more obvious.

Banks have electronic cut-off times (?!) (I.e. Thursday 6pm till Monday + Public Holidays added. It may vary from bank to bank.)

That means if you try to pay your employee or supplier within that cut-

off time, the money will be deducted from your account in that instant, but will not be ‘processed’ (according to the bank) into those accounts until Monday/Tuesday. (That will include all your weekend EFTPOS transactions.) Look at your internet/ EFTPOS transactions on Sunday and you will see that the Friday-Sunday transactions are credited only for Monday.

Also, be aware of the recurring (automatic) payments.

If your transfer/due date falls on the weekend and you’re transferring money into your loan account, the

money will be transferred out, but ‘will not(?!)’ be transferred into the loan account on the same day and you will be penalised/defaulted for not paying on time.

So then, what’s the purpose for recurring payment and electronic banking at all?

Also if you deposit your take ‘through the chute’ on Friday morning, it won’t be in your account until Monday.

So where is all this money lingering in that time (3-4 days out of every week!)? Think of all those small and big businesses - it all adds up.

I just wonder how the banks make those quarterly profits.

If the banks use that money for short term investment and make profit out of it, they should notify us and share that profit with us.

Also we should ask the government why we had to bail out these banks in the last financial crisis - should they return it back to the government?

(Ps: I love computer technology. I still have one of the old bank deposit book at home.)

Rubbish concern WHILE Ironman is a significant event that injects great tourism dollars into our town here in Port Macquarie, it has to be said that the rubbish that is left behind along the circuit is unacceptable!

The obvious competitor-consumed packaging such as energy bars, energy gel, cramp stop and electrolyte wrappers are strewn across the roads they ride and run on.

Plan only three years

Surely they were carrying them in the first place and could retain the rubbish in the same fashion.

Does Ironman Australia take any responsibility for a clean-up?

With all the rain on Sunday, many pieces of trash have already been washed into storm water drains making it impossible for anyone, Ironman Australia or local council, to rectify this situation.

Lauren Edwards Port Macquarie

HERE we go again … on the back of a budget described as a ‘10-year plan’ rather than a ‘budget’ – it astounds me that any government would try to plan anything when they are on a constant three year spending cycle.

In case you haven’t noticed, not a day goes by when there isn’t some pollie, complete with media event occurring, throwing money at some ‘worthwhile’ cause or project.

THUMBS

UP

Naturally, in the 12 months after the election, it will be ‘cut, cut, cut’ as the incumbent government decides it needs to reign in the spending so there is enough to go around for the next pre-election spending spree.

There is no difference – all Australian governments operate in this manner.

Let’s not dare to plan for a future beyond three years!

It’s a family event, from the youngest person to the oldest “ person – we’ve got someone coming who is 100

“

By LIZZIE McLEOD THE months are flying by for the North Coast Community Events Inc as they prepare for their first ever air show in October.

The two-day air show ‘Wings Over Macleay’ will take place at the Kempsey Airport.

“There will be flying demonstrations and aerobatic flying stunts, planes with smoke, and tricks in the air,” said William Quaglio, Executive Officer of ‘Wings Over Macleay’.

“There will also be static displays, gyro copters, model airplanes, vintage cars, food, and drinks stalls.

“There will be a range of static aircraft that people will be able to look at, some of which they will be able to get up close to and children will be able to get into.

“It’s a family event, from the youngest person to the oldest person – we’ve got someone coming who is 100.”

Interest in the show has not only built locally, but visitors are expected to come as far as Sydney through to Brisbane, as well as plenty of locals.

Well-known professional pilot Paul Bennet from ‘Paul Bennet Air Shows’ will be supervising the aerobatics of the show.

Paul Bennet flies the world famous ‘Wolf Pitts Pro’ biplane – a custom built aircraft designed to be the highest performing aerobatic biplane in the world.

Paul is one of Australia’s, and the world’s best performers, and is sure to guarantee that the visitors to Kempsey will not be disappointed.

“There will be helicopters to give crowds joy flights if they like,” said Mr Quaglio.

“The opening ceremony will be quite exciting as there is a parachute drop with the Australian and Aboriginal flag, and other parachutes with smoke trails.

“Families will be able to look at a range of

Buckle up for air show Pictured: There will be plenty of action above and on the ground at October’s ‘Wings Over Macleay’ air show at Kempsey Airport

aircraft and talk to people about what will be on show. Visitors can then sit down and watch a two-and-a-half-hour flying activity that will take place in the air show.”

The Kempsey Shire Council has owned the airport since World War II, however it has recently undergone a $2.5 million upgrade to make it suitable to become a fully serviced Aviation Business Park, making it the perfect location for the regional air show.

Anne Oud installs an early watercolour of Port Macquarie by Samuel Augustus Perry, dated 1831 for the temporary exhibition ‘Points of View’ which opens at the Port Macquarie Museum on International Museum Day, May 18

“

It’s going to provide a taste of what our archeological history is and some of the sites that are covered up by other buildings now

“

THE Port Macquarie museum has been digging up the dirt on the city’s past.

So come along to the National Archaeology Week and International Museum Day to celebrate the history of the Port Macquarie region.

‘Digs, Dumps and Discoveries’ is a presentation that will reveal Port’s hidden past and explore recent archaeological excavations.

“It is interesting because we originally were going to offer a walk – about 3km, which was going to be a bit much for people. So instead we thought we would do a talk,” said Port Macquarie Museum’s Debbie Sommers.

“The talk is about the different sites and the archeological digs that have happened so far and what’s been discovered from those.

“It’s going to provide a taste of what our archeological history is and some of the sites that are covered up by other buildings now.

“A lot of people don’t know that there is that history. Because we have built on so many of these sites people don’t really give it much thought..”

Unfortunately much of Port Macquarie’s history has been lost or destroyed over the years, however, traces of it still remain buried.

“The reason we called the talk the ‘Digs, Dumps and Discoveries’ is because back in the early days of this city people kept their rubbish on their own site so they dug it into the backyard or put it under the house. So that’s how we learn how people lived and who lived there – from the rubbish that has been left

behind,” said Debbie.

People are also encouraged to visit the new temporary exhibition ‘Points of View’ which will celebrate International Museum Day. “Port Macquarie has so many picturesque views so we will be showing some of these views in the ‘Points of View’ exhibition as they have been interpreted in people’s artwork and in historic photographs,” Debbie explains.

The exhibition focuses on the changing cultural landscapes, landmarks, and places that are important to the community of Port Macquarie.

The National Archaeology Week Talk ‘Digs, Dumps and Discoveries’ will take place at the Port Macquarie Museum on Tuesday May 17 at 10am.

Entry to the talk is free and includes a tour of the archaeology exhibit.

The International Museum Day and the ‘Points of View’ exhibition will open at the Port Macquarie Museum on Wednesday May 18 from 9.30am – 4.30pm, and the exhibition will continue through to August. Entry is just a gold coin.

LEARNING new things today is a challenge for everyone, whether we’re trying to work the new device that runs the intelligent TV, fiddling with the smart phone, or trying to work out how traffic redirections go on the freeway. The great thing about this is that it makes us all equal in our level of ‘new learning’.

The Community College is moving more and more towards mixing up all ages and stages among our students and they seem to really enjoy learning from each other as well as from the teachers. So if you’re feeling daunted by all the new things going on in our society and how to get better skilled in new areas of work or lifestyle (from Tech Savvy for Seniors to learning to use an espresso coffee machine), you can find advice and a program to suit your need right here in town.

For those living with mental health challenges, there are plenty of ways to join groups doing interesting creative topics which can also help

THE end of the current Council term is rapidly approaching, with elections planned for September 10.

While there is some speculation about what may happen in the future, most of the focus is still squarely on Council’s current operations.

Councillors are very pleased to see that the works program in the current financial year is charging ahead, with Council on target to deliver a record amount of capital projects by the end of June.

Everywhere you go around Port Macquarie, the Hastings Valley and the Camden Haven there is evidence of construction and upgrades to major pieces of infrastructure. While there has been some minor inconvenience and delays, especially around Hastings River Drive, everyone acknowledges that the works need to be done and that Council is getting on with the job.

I should also mention the resealing of Lord Street which will be finished in the next few weeks. The only disappointment with that job is that it didn’t include an upgraded pedestrian access into Roto Place and the Koala Hospital, which is the number one visitor destination in Port Macquarie.

The refurbished Town Beach kiosk is currently being fitted out and should be open for business by the end of the month. Everyone I speak to is very excited to see what Chris and Leasa Harris and the Salty Crew will have on offer for us!

The Stingray Creek Bridge is really starting to take shape with works and will roll over into the next financial year’s works program to see it completed. The indoor stadium will also continue across into the next year’s program, where I know the local residents will be keen to see an end to the construction noise and dust from the work site.

One significant project just about to start that will definitely continue across into next year’s program is the new roundabout at the intersection of Blackbutt Rd and Lake Rd. Utilising some federal blackspot funding as well as Council funding, this roundabout will drastically improve safety along the dangerous Lake Rd. When you add in all the private construction taking place, such as the CSU campus, the Sancrox industrial precinct, and Bob Todd’s Clarence House, never in the history of our area have so many significant works projects been on the go simultaneously! Council is delivering strongly and that’s where the focus needs to remain.

to reconnect with society, as well as developing skills for work. It’s the college’s atmosphere of a welcome and friendly community that keeps people coming back for more. No one has to be ‘an expert’ at anything. We’re all just learning alongside each other at our own pace and we’re

allowed to say ‘stop’ whenever something is not clear.

Being there for each other is a great way to build community and we know from worldwide studies that cross-generational and cross-cultural learning enriches our society and creates much smarter communities.

So please come in and check out the new programs we’re developing at the college and if you’ve got family members of whatever age and stage needing support, we can help you find the right pathway to new learning. We’re also here for carers and friends who want to help their loved ones find new inspiration in life. Come and have a chat and find out about the wide variety of choices on offer.

Plan is blueprint for future

WHAT are the top issues relating to the growth and prosperity of the Mid North Coast region?

An online survey has been released by Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast that seeks feedback on these issues from local business people, professionals, government representatives and non-government organisations.

“The Regional Plan will be a blueprint for the future, so it’s crucial that we receive as many responses as possible from business and industry, government and the non-government sector,” says Lorraine Gordon, CEO of Regional Development Australia Mid North Coast.

“This survey highlights a number of priority infrastructure projects and policy changes that are proposed over the next four years. It’ll give all regional stakeholders in business, government and the not for profit sector a good idea of what is being proposed between now and 2020.”

Responses to the survey will provide the basis for the new Mid North Coast Regional Plan, produced by Regional Development Australia every 3-5 years.

This Regional Plan is used by the Commonwealth and State Governments to inform their policy and funding decisions for regional Australia. It is a blueprint of the key

Justyn Walker and Lorraine Gordon, CEO for Regional Development Australia at the launch of the Mid North Coast Prospectus issues affecting the economic prosperity and growth of our region.

The online survey seeks your feedback on sixteen identified issues. Examples are: food security, access to education, strategic link roads, industrial land, business incubators, youth traineeships and renewable energy. Respondents will also have the opportunity to raise other issues.

Protect victims STATE MATTERS

With Leslie Williams State Member for Port Macquarie

MORE protection for domestic violence victims: Changes to the Apprehended Domestic Violence Order (ADVO) Scheme were introduced into Parliament last week to better protect victims.

I am proud the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government treats domestic violence like the crime it is and will implement all 17 recommendations of the statutory review of the Crimes (Domestic and Personal Violence) Act 2007.

These changes are vital to protect domestic violence victims and their families in our local area. This builds on the NSW Government’s reputation as a national leader in the protection of domestic violence victims.

Crimes categorised as ‘domestic violence offences’ will now also include any and all NSW or Commonwealth criminal offence where the defendant intends to coerce, control or cause fear in the victim, like using a mobile service to menace, harass or cause offence.

The law will also ensure ADVOs are written in plain English and spell out examples of the consequences of breaches to improve information for perpetrators and victims.

We know victims are often reluctant to come forward because they are afraid of their partner, so the NSW Government is making it easier for them to get an ADVO without having to prove a fear of violence in court.

This means magistrates will be able to hear final applications for ADVOs even if the victim doesn’t appear in court and police will be notified of any application to change or revoke an ADVO. Perpetrators may threaten the victim’s new partner, which is why we are also ensuring a victim’s current partner is included in the legal definition of a domestic relationship, so everyone affected by domestic violence has the legal protection of an ADVO if they are targeted.

The legislation will also enshrine in law that self-represented defendants cannot personally cross-examine child witnesses during ADVO applications, and that a person cannot apply for an ADVO to be revoked after it has expired.

NSW leads the nation as the first jurisdiction to introduce model laws to recognise and enforce domestic violence orders across the country, to better protect victims and hold perpetrators to account, regardless of where they live.

Roads, business get vital boost THIS year’s Federal Budget delivers additional funding into the Coalition Government’s record infrastructure package with local roads, bridges and other infrastructure to benefit from the government’s investment in fast-tracking the Pacific Highway upgrade, the Bridges Renewal, Road Blackspots, Roads to Recovery and Federal Financial Assistance programmes.

Hundreds of local jobs have been created from our investment towards the construction of local bridges, road projects to eliminate blackspots, the Bucketts Way upgrade and Pacific Highway upgrade north of the Oxley Highway at Port Macquarie.

As we continue this massive investment in infrastructure, more jobs will continue to be created.

More funding for aged care continues to provide the elderly with home care and residential care options while also providing a major boost to local employment.

Aged care has increased over the past 2½ years from $90-million a year to $105-million a year and thanks to the sustainable reforms announced as part of this budget, our aged care sector will continue to grow and remain strong as we invest an extra $249-million to improve the aged care sector. This year’s Federal Budget is also a real game changer for employment and for small business – particularly in the Lyne electorate which has over 10,000 small businesses and

youth unemployment above the national average.

The Coalition Government would invest in a new $840-million Youth Employment Package including a Youth Bonus wage subsidy to give business stronger incentives and greater flexibility in hiring job seekers under the age of 25 years including subsidies of between $6,500 and $10,000.

I have visited and spoken to many small business owners in my electorate and listened to some of their ideas about how we might encourage and help them improve and expand their businesses and employ more people.

These wage subsidies will create a strong incentive for employers to consider hiring unemployed youth as well as encouraging and supporting self-employment and entrepreneurship among young people. As well as lowering the small business tax rate to 27.5% on July 1, our small business package will make the small business tax concessions available to tens of thousands of additional businesses.

Business backs appeal ON May 20, the business community of Port Macquarie will do their bit to get behind The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal for 2016 by hosting a business breakfast at The Westport Club.

For the past nine years, local Port Macquarie business professionals kick start The Salvation Army’s annual Red Shield Appeal fundraising efforts with a breakfast and have raised in excess of $90,000, and this year for the tenth Anniversary they aim to raise $20,000 from the event for the appeal.

This year’s event will focus on domestic violence and features a panel of guest speakers including: Peter Besseling, Local Mayor and White Ribbon Ambassador; Stewart Dowrick, CEO Port Base Hospital and White Ribbon Accredited Workplace; Wayne Evans, retired Magistrate; Kellie Mills, Founder of the 100 Alice Stories Project; and Major Brett Gallagher of the Salvation Army.

“Twenty-two women have died due to domestic violence since the beginning of this year and in 2015, there were 79 women who were killed as a result of domestic violence,” explains Chairman of the Business Community’s Red Shield Appeal, Chris Perry from Westpac.

“The Salvation Army is very grateful for the year on year support we receive from Port Macquarie’s business community to help us launch our biggest annual fundraiser in the Red Shield Appeal,” says Major Brett Gallagher of the local Salvation Army.

Taking the good time out of celebrate

MANYwords we use now have undergone a big shift in meaning.

Take celebrate for instance.

In recent years the word celebrate has been used more and more in the same breath to mean a great party. You know the type, with plenty of food and drinks and a great time had by all.

The word came up during Anzac Day celebrations recently. It was used correctly in my hearing.

The word wasn’t always used to mark a great party – it isn’t now.

The word, going back hundreds of years, was much more solemn than that, and still is.

You can make it represent a big party, if that’s what turns you on, but it means more than that.

In 1586 it represented the rites of marriage.

The word from then on meant many things, such as to be honoured by a great assembly, to take part in a religious ceremony, to solemnise, to perform an operation, to publish and to speak the praises of.

I looked for the meaning to have a good time, but it wasn’t there, or I couldn’t find it.

But Shakespeare did find use for it, when in Henry VI he wrote ‘to celebrate the joy that God hath given us’.

I suppose somebody was having a good time.

The best example of something enjoyable that

my

LAURIE BARBER

I could find came in the Collins dictionary, which referred to ‘something enjoyable, such as having a party’.

Most dictionaries included the word solemnise.

The world’s first English dictionary, published in 1604, said celebrate meant ‘holy, to make famous, to publish, to keepe solemlie’.

Examples of celebrated included the headmaster who was one lesson ahead of his pupils; and India and the east coasts of Africa who were not celebrated for their fish.

Author Kate Burridge said in her book that the word celebrate was undergoing a shift in meaning from a solemn religious ceremony.

We’ve all heard of the wedding celebrant, or the priest who officiates at the eucharist.

The Americans have a favourite word,

the celeb, which is chiefly an abbreviation of celebrity.

So you want a word that means somebody who is really most celebratory. They have a word for that too – celeberrimous, not that I have ever heard it used. My dictionary says it means ‘very or most celebrated’.

Celebration means the performance of a solemn ceremony, or making laudatory speeches.

Under the word celebrational came the comment ‘he was going to give a celebrational dinner to his 50 best friends’. I presume they had a good time.

Celebrator and celebratory, along with celebrative, meant ‘pertaining to celebrational’.

No mention of having a good time. I suppose it was a solemn occasion.

Celebrere means ‘to celebrate’.

Celebrious means ‘a festival’.

Then my big dictionary came to celebrity, ‘due observance of rites and ceremonies’ as well as ‘a person of celebrity’.

Jeffrey Kacirk said in a book of very old words a celibataire was a bachelor.

Maybe you can only have a good time if you are a bachelor, but don’t mention that I said that. lauriebarber.com; lbword@midcoast.com.au

Sunday 15 May Walk to fight animal cruelty!

Come walking!

No dog required “

PORT Macquarie-Hastings Council is reminding dog owners to pick up their pet’s waste whilst enjoying our public spaces, parks and beaches after a recent increase in notified contamination cases.

Our public parks and beaches are for our entire community to enjoy, however a number of irresponsible owners are leaving their dog’s waste behind, creating dirty and unhealthy environments that impacts the enjoyment of those accessing public areas.

“It is disappointing that that we are seeing an increase in dog waste being left behind”, said Director Matt Rogers.

“Council has also received reports of some residents taking dozens of the waste disposal bags that are provided by Council free of charge, or even the whole roll at a time leaving little or no bags for other dog owners.

“The weekly bag top-up service provided by council does not always last the 7 days,

and residents can help us stretch this service further by taking only what they need for that visit, and reporting misuse,” Mr Rogers said.

A free waste disposal bag supply and collection service is available at the following dog friendly beaches: Nobby’s and Lighthouse Beaches in Port Macquarie, Bonny Hills, North Haven and Dunbogan.

“Dog owners can also pick up doggy leash bags and replacement waste bags for a small fee at Council’s Customer Service Centres in Port Macquarie, Laurieton and Wauchope,” concluded Mr Rogers.

Council is reminding owners that leaving dog waste behind is against the law and rangers can issue on the spot fines of $275 for those who fail to comply.

For information on dog friendly parks, reserves and beaches across the Port Macquarie- Hastings region visit pmhc.nsw. gov.au/dogfriendly.

Scoop your dog’s poop

The Million Paws Walk is an Australiawide event which not only unites animal lovers in a common cause but also raises much needed funds ANIMAL lovers in the Port Macquarie area are invited to attend the annual RSPCA ‘Million Paws Walk’ on Sunday, May 15 at Oxley Oval.

You don’t even need to bring a dog!

Registrations start from 8.30am prior to the 9.45am start, led by Lisa Intemann, Deputy Mayor for the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council.

The Million Paws Walk is an Australia-wide event which not only unites animal lovers in a common cause but also raises much needed funds to help fund all animal welfare issues, including the inspectorate for the RSPCA. If you haven’t attended before, here are some guidelines - dogs must be on a leash; no ‘inseason’ dogs; feed a light breakfast as some dogs may become over-excited; bring a poop bag!

With the beautiful setting of Oxley Oval, there will also be the ‘New Notes Band’ playing for a festive atmosphere. In addition to the opportunity to mingle with like-minded animal lovers, there will be a sausage sizzle (for humans as well as dogs), Peak barista coffee, great cakes and slices, as well as a home-made lemonade stand.

Games and great prizes for the children and their pooches will be made available, as well as dog grooming facilities, RSPCA merchandise and beautiful bespoke dog coats, leads and collars for sale.

Stalls and information booths manned by council rangers and various local veterinary practices, including East Port, Dr Paws and Greencross. Australian Pet Cremations will also be offering compassionate advice on your pet’s final journey.

Funds raised are used exclusively to help heal and re-home abandoned animals in the Port Macquarie-Hastings area.

Apart from a very small government grant which only partially funds the Inspectorate, RSPCA activities are entirely funded by generous donations and bequests from the public. In recent years, funds raised have helped to modernise part of the local shelter as well as funding three major programs where the Volunteer Branch have paid for the desexing and microchipping of over 375 animals.

Lola has found herself in a foster home, awaiting a new ‘furever’ home The local RSPCA Branch also helps fund programs for subsidised and last litter desexing, emergency veterinary treatment and medical or surgical treatment for RSPCA animals that have found their ‘furever’ home through the local shelter.

RSPCA’s 10 shelters throughout NSW help more than 38,000 injured, neglected, sick, surrendered and unwanted animals every year.

In addition, we have 32 inspectors in NSW who investigate more than 12,000 complaints of cruelty or neglect every year.

You can register on-line at www.rspcansw. org.au - just look for the link to the ‘Million Paws Walk’. You can also create a fundraising page and tell all your friends and colleagues as well. Alternatively, you can register on the day by being at Oxley Oval at 8.45 am.

The Port Macquarie Volunteer Branch raises funds by holding regular seasonal raffles (especially Easter and Christmas) and, of course, they run the Opportunity Shop at 15 Short Street.

There is also a ‘Cup Cake Day’ held in August every year.

We are proud to support and work alongside the RSPCA

Nigel Bird with ‘Coco’, one of his current family of six dogs and Wendy with ‘Tess’, one of eight dogs at her home, who have all been rescued

Finding ‘furever’ homes

By CHRISTINA PARKIN THE newly established Midcoast Dog Rescue (MDR) and the Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service (PMAWS) will continue to work tirelessly for the welfare of homeless, unwanted and abused dogs and cats respectively in the Port Macquarie-Hastings area.

After 11 years of dedication and commitment to the re-homing of over 1800 unwanted cats and dogs on the mid north coast, the committee of PMAWS believe it would be more beneficial to the animals to restructure the association into two working groups. That is, a cat rescue group and a dog rescue group - enabling them to continue to carry out this very important work and to provide a necessary service to their local community.

Midcoast Dog Rescue under the guidance of Nigel Bird, Wendy Le Cussan, Vick Avery and Pat Johnson will continue to maintain their excellent relationship between local businesses, veterinarian hospitals and local councils that flourished throughout their 11 years of service to Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service (PMAWS).

“We just want people to save dogs and give them a loving home,” says Wendy Le Cussan.

Midcoast Dog Rescue is firmly committed to improving animal welfare in their region, to accept animals into their foster care systems for re-homing, and to provide all necessary vet care and safe housing until a new suitable home can be found. They strive to educate the public on the proper care of animals and responsible pet ownership with the accent on the necessity of early de-sexing before the breeding cycle can commence, as is seen with cats.

MDR have an active group of 10 or so carers

who foster the dogs in their home (rather than at a shelter) and are always looking for more who are willing to rehome dogs for short-term or longterm periods prior to finding them a permanent home.

“Depending on their background, some dogs need a lot of support from a foster-carer to overcome issues like anxiety or socialisation before they can be permanently re-homed,” explains Ms Le Cussan.

“Often we have older persons having to go into an aged care facility without their pet dogs, who often are as ‘senior’ as they.

“Senior dogs make a lovely addition to a home as they are past the ‘puppy’ stage, but they will have their special needs too, like the constant companionship they were used to.

“We work hard to match carers and potential owners with dogs according to everyone’s needs.”

Fundraising for Midcoast Dog Rescue occurs with quarterly markets on Town Green and they offer an ‘Adoption Day’ on the fourth Saturday of the month at Petstock on Lake Road where people can come and meet the dogs needing a ‘furever’ home or talk to their carers.

PMAWS will continue taking care of the cats and kittens needing homes and Leonie Heath can be contacted at 6584 6142 or 0405 138 825.

For matters relating to the welfare of dogs, please contact Midcoast Dog Rescue by calling either Nigel Bird on 6584 4992 or 0403 504 711 or Wendy Le Cussan on 6584 7027 or 0418 233 633.

Where’s My SMSF Advice Got a question about a SMSF and how it relates to you and your circumstances? Then chances are your accountant, unless licensed, won’t be able to answer you.

It may come as a surprise that from 1 July your trusted accountant will no longer be able to advise you on a number of SMSF issues or ongoing strategies without being licensed within the Australian Financial Services licensing framework. This doesn’t include questions of facts about a SMSF, however if you want to know how anything relates to you, then this includes some pretty basic questions ie, “How much should I salary sacrifice to super”, “How much should I contribute to super this year”, “Should I start a pension”, “Do I have enough in my SMSF to borrow within it and will this be suitable for me”.

What this means for you? If your accountant is licensed then initially it will provide a deeper level of engagement between your accountant and yourself as you go through the journey of SMSF setup, growth and retirement together in a lot more detail than before.

Secondly, the cost to setup and implement

SMSF strategies will rise to incorporate the additional time and costs in providing what is legally required including additional meetings and statement of advices.

What you can do? Those looking to commence a SMSF and continue to operate a SMSF need to align themselves with an accountant that is licensed and an accredited SMSF specialist. SMSF specialist advisors help you deal with all aspects of your SMSF including compliance, which is just as important as getting the investment strategy right. I’ve seen a lot of errors when setting up SMSF’s and investments within them, this ultimately unravels any benefits obtained with the initial objectives of managing your future wealth. A SMSF Specialist Advisor will help keep you upto date and optimise the benefits of controlling your retirement.

Contact Tania at Maven Advisors if you have any question at all on 02 6584 9201. Maven Advisors are able to help you in all aspects of your SMSF including compliance, Administration, Tax Returns and tax effective strategy advice.

Business MONTHLY Women’s network pushes for equality MANY people across the globe recently made the Pledge for Parity on International Women’s Day. They promised to make a personal effort to foster greater equality between men and women.

The buzz surrounding the topic has slowed since then but the Hastings Business Women’s Network is determined to keep the conversation alive within the local region.

Network president Karen Archer, pictured, speaks to local organisations about the facts of inequality between men and women in Australia and what needs to happen.

Recently Ms Archer spoke to the Rotary Club of Port Macquarie and shared statistics that show equality is occurring too slowly within Australia, and it takes all Australians to close the gap.

“It is more than just women fighting for equal pay and men supporting equality. It is about parents treating their sons and daughters equally and breaking down stereotypes at home,” said Ms Archer.

“You don’t have to own a business to help close the gender gap. How we speak to our children and grandchildren is a great place to start.

Children as young as three are acutely aware of gender as a social category. Selecting our words carefully can mean a world of difference.”

Australia has a culture of fairness but the discrepancy between genders in the workplace here is moving too slowly.

The gender ‘pay gap’ has remained stagnant between 15-18% for the past 20 years. Women

currently make 18.2% less than their male counterparts. Girls are paid 11% less pocket money than boys. And a woman with a degree is likely to earn $1.5 million less during her career than males with the same degree.

Parity can only be achieved when the status, benefits and pay are equal between men and women in the workforce.

Ms Archer urges all residents of the Hastings region to continue the conversation and find ways of closing the gender gap at home and at work.

Business MONTHLY Apprenticeships not what they used to be APPRENTICESHIPS have come a long way, and for Bennetts Steel employee, David Genge, it has proved beneficial in giving him the skills to provide better customer service.

A team effort involving Bennetts Steel, North Coast TAFE and David Genge has resulted in an apprenticeship program that has been customised to produce a perfect fit for both organisations, including the apprentice.

David has worked in various roles at Bennetts Steel since 2010, primarily in customer service, before it was identified that David could provide a more holistic customer service if he knew more about the fabrication processes.

Rather than just passing on job requests and not understanding the specific requirements of how the products are created, David wanted to be able to help customers on the spot and offer technical advice to achieve what they were after.

After consultation with North Coast TAFE Metal Fabrication teacher, Richard Griffiths, they devised a plan where David could complete most of his training on the job and follow a customised study program which included some diversified subjects in a metal fabrication qualification.

David’s manager, Tanya Newman said: “By being flexible in their delivery, TAFE have reduced the amount of time David spends away from work. On average, Richard visits David at work, once a fortnight, to instruct him on skills he can learn onsite, so David only attends TAFE for the competencies he can’t do here. This also helps him gain a real understanding of how his

Tanya Newman and David Genge from Bennetts Steel team up with NC TAFE for a custom-fit apprenticeship program studies relate to his job. We wanted a diversified program that included units relevant to our organisation and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

“We have a couple of highly skilled and experienced tradesmen that are more than willing and capable of passing on their knowledge to support David’s training. We also wanted to continue contributing to manufacturing skills in the region and supporting the local economy,” Tanya said.

“David loves the ‘hands-on’ learning approach, I love how supportive and flexible Richard has been to work with and I think Richard is happy that he can create a program that fits us so well; it’s the perfect solution.”

Budget puts focus on jobs EVERY Federal Budget is very different and they are always challenging.

This year the Government has devised a Budget that brings the nation’s deficit under control while also promoting economic and jobs growth in the region.

One of the issues raised regularly with me when I travel around the Port MacquarieHastings area is the need to get our young people in Port Macquarie into work.

The 2016 Budget has a new program to help get young people into work through the $840.3 million Youth Employment Package, which includes an increase to the Federal Government’s Youth Wage Subsidy from $6,500 to $10,000.

That means the incentives offered to businesses to hire a young person are now in line with the Restart Subsidy for Older Australians.

The Budget package also includes a new ‘internship’ program Youth Job PaTH where Job Seekers under 25 will be paid extra to be involved in a four- to-12-week internship and the employer will be paid up to $1,000 upfront.

For these initiatives to succeed, we need a strong and prosperous North Coast economy, with small and medium businesses willing and able to take on new staff.

The Budget provides tax relief for Port Macquarie small businesses under $10 million annual turnover which will see their tax rate drop from 28.5 % to 27.5 %.

The Federal government will also extend its $20,000 instant asset write-off scheme to businesses turning over up to $10 million from July 1.

Small businesses are the backbone of the Mid North Coast economy, and both small and medium businesses will receive tax relief in the 2016 Budget.

This Budget is about growing the economic pie by driving Port Macquarie business competitiveness through tax relief and employment incentives, which in turn will increase their ability to hire more staff.

This is already happening with many

businesses directly and indirectly supplying the Pacific Highway Upgrade.

On the Mid North Coast, we are already seeing the huge benefits from the Federal Government investment of $5.6 billion in the Pacific Highway duplication.

Anyone who travels regularly between the Oxley Highway and Kempsey or Coffs Harbour would be in awe of the progress and the number of workers and heavy machinery working on the duplication.

For a regional area such as Port Macquarie, a project like this drives the economy and jobs growth by tapping into local supply chains, from service providers such as Expressway Spares which repairs and maintains heavy machinery used along the highway upgrade, through to the local takeaway food store, which feeds the hungry masses when the workers have meal breaks. The Pacific Highway duplication is a nationally significant project reaping rewards for the Mid North Coast by creating 4,000 direct and 12,500 indirect jobs for locals the length and breadth of the Cowper electorate.

But beyond the economic investment, there is the safety aspect to upgrading local roads, which is a major priority for the Federal Government and Port Macquarie residents.

The 2016 Budget has delivered extra funding for regional roads through the Roads to Recovery Programme delivering an additional $50 million per year from 2019–20.

Local and state roads will benefit from the continuation of the Black Spot Program with the Government committing $60 million per year from 2019–20 to fund safety upgrades.

Chopin by Candlelight

LONDON based Australian pianist, Piers Lane, pictured above, has had a stellar career internationally but he remains closely tied to fine music in his home country.

In May and June, Piers Lane is embarking on a national piano recital tour (www. chopinbycandlelight.com) encompassing Sydney Recital Hall, Melbourne Recital Hall, Adelaide Festival Centre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre and several regional centres across the country.

Port Macquarie is fortunate to be one of 13 venues selected. Piers will be performing a beautiful selection of piano compositions by Chopin in a romantic recital by candlelight in the Glasshouse Theatre on May 31 from 7.30pm.

Piers Lane reflects on his love for the great composer.

“Chopin remains unsurpassed as a composer for the piano. He knew how to make the instrument sing at its lyrical best,” he says.

“The music speaks eloquently to people everywhere of the beauty, the heartbreak, the dance, the yearning, the rhythm, the soul, of life itself”.

Chopin by Candlelight promises to be a very romantic musical experience that will excite people who love classical music and entice people who are interested in discovering what classical music has to offer. For some, the concert will be a life-­changing moment.

As testament to his local and international success, Piers Lane was made an Officer in the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished services to the performing arts as an internationally renowned classical pianist, to professional and

Born in 1958, Piers Lane’s English father and Australian mother met while auditioning as piano students for the Royal College of Music.

Although born in London, Piers grew up in Brisbane and graduated with a Medal of Excellence from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Piers Lane first came to prominence at the inaugural Sydney International Piano Competition in 1977, at which he was named Best Australian Pianist and was later a judge in the 2004 competition.

Now Piers Lane is the artistic director of this august piano competition, appointed in 2015.

Photo convention

IT’S an exciting time for Macleay Valley photographers, as the local Kempsey Macleay RSL Photographic Club gears up for the 40th Northern Zone of Photographic Clubs 2016 Convention, to be held in the Kempsey Macleay RSL Club this weekend (May 13-15).

Featuring photographic clubs from Lismore in the north, to Forster in the south, and west to Tamworth, the Zone Convention is the culmination of the members’ photographic efforts over the previous 12 months. Each club submits images in various categories, and these are sent away to qualified judges to be allocated marks, before being returned to be displayed at the convention, with prizes and trophies presented to the various winners at the presentation dinner on Saturday night.

The convention also features presentations by experts in various fields of photography, with these running over the Saturday and the Sunday morning, as well as a display of photographic books and equipment, plus a trade table where used gear can be purchased.

With more than 100 delegates attending.

The images – more than 300 – will be exhibited in the RSL Club conference rooms, which is open to the public on Friday (May 13) from 2pm to 6pm for a gold coin donation. You don’t have to be a member of the club to see it, but you will have to sign in at the door.

If you are a photographer, and would like to attend some of the presentations over the weekend, you don’t have to be a member of the photographic club.

For more information about this or any aspect of the convention, you can contact president, Gai Southwell (6562 7543/0455 295 695) or secretary Mark Townsend (6562 7818/0477 224 088).

Get set for Cat Empire

ONE of the world’s greatest party bands is coming to Laurieton.

The colourful and genre bending band, ‘The Cat Empire’, is on their 2016 global tour to support the release of their new album ‘Rising With The Sun’.

“An explosive world, filled with fireworks, exotic flavours, and deep rhythm,” explains front man Felix Riebl of their new album.

The impossible-to-categorise band displays a chaotic and fiercely uplifting live show that brought in over half a million people to their performances in 2015.

The band’s songs encourage listeners to get up and dance, as well as giving them the feeling of being swept up in a big, colourful, cacophonous parade.

The song writing process is both spontaneous and unexpected filled with experiences, thoughts, and dreams.

Seeing the band perform live is a must and they are known to be unstoppable on the global stage.

“They are an impossible act to follow. The reason they close most festival stages is because other bands are afraid to go on after them,” said the band’s European agent.

The band members - who met before they were 18 through their mutual love of music - have all held on to their Australian sense of humour and energy despite the extreme work ethic they all possess.

The ‘Rising With The Sun Tour’ performance will take place on Friday, May 13, from 6.30pm at the Laurieton United Services Club.

Tickets cost $55 presale or $60 at the door.

Tickets can also be purchased from www.tickets. oztix.com.au For more information visit www. laurietonclub.com.au

THE number of deaths by suicide is more than double the road toll, and yet government funding for road safety is double that for suicide prevention.

Lifeline has launched an online campaign seeking a million signatures calling on the Federal Government to double funding to suicide prevention.

Lifeline Australia CEO Pete Shmigel said that it is time for the Federal Government to acknowledge the growing national suicide emergency and provide adequate funding to support lifesaving services, research and initiatives taking place across the sector.

“We know the profound impact that suicide can have on individuals, families, friends and whole communities,” Mr Shmigel said.

“In seeking a million signatures through this campaign, we want to empower everyday Australians to join together and take important steps towards the goal of stopping suicides.

The petition follows the release of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data showing that 2864 people took their own lives in 2014 – almost eight per day – which is an increase of almost 13.5 per cent from 2013.

“Furthermore, while we have seen a 25 per cent decrease in the number of motor vehicle deaths over the past 10 years, the number of suicides has increased significantly in this time.

“By sharing Lifeline’s online petition via social media or email, we have the opportunity to create a groundswell of support to show the government that we as a community care about this issue.”

Catherine Vaara, CEO Lifeline Mid Coast called on the local region to get behind the campaign, stating the importance of a whole-ofcommunity approach to suicide prevention.

“We need to keep on breaking down the invisible barriers that exist when it comes to suicide discussions,” she said.

“If someone we know is thinking about suicide, they need to have somewhere to turn to express that thought. We have the pathways to help and we can all be part of that pathway’.

Wanted: Roller Derby men There’s more to this than women in fishnets

By CHRISTINA PARKIN WHEN you say ‘Roller Derby’ to the casual passer-by, they probably think it’s girls in fishnets pushing each other around on skates.

However, roller derby has moved beyond that, but the number of guys are still outnumbered by women.

Port Macquarie Roller Derby League (PMRDL) is recruiting new players – particularly men and youth for a beginner’s course from 7pm on Wednesday, May 18 at the Hastings Hotel at 12 High Street Wauchope.

Potential skaters don’t need to be experienced, and the PMRDL will teach you how to safely skate, propel, stop and of course, fall and get back up quickly.

“There is a right way to fall – falling forward is best so you use your knee pads to protect yourself,” explains Kate Naylor, beginner coach.

The twelve-week course will start on Sunday, May 29 and will be held at the Wauchope Sports Stadium in Cameron Street from 4pm to 6pm and continue on Sundays.

Gear is available to hire, so interested skaters don’t have to own skates initially.

To become a competitive player, a skater must complete four levels.

When a level is achieved the skater gets a different coloured star sticker – red then black then gold - for their helmet, similar to the system of different coloured belts in karate.

Each game consists of two, 30-minute halves with two teams of five skaters on the track at any one time.

Players substitute every two minutes, so teams usually have up to fourteen members.

Come and join the local roller derby league, starting with an info night on May 18. Photo Wild Cherry

Wauchope Vets

129 Men’s Vets played the first round of the Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golf Club’s, Club Championships, Bi-Monthly Medal and Putting competition on Tuesday, May 3. The game was conducted over three divisions with the winners as follows: A grade was won by Ken Bennett with a nett 68 on a countback from Norm Marchant also with a nett 68, third place was Darryl Morrow with nett 69 on a countback. B grade was won by David Bowen with nett 68 and runner up was John Jokantas with nett 69, third place was Peter Kime with nett 70 on a countback. C grade was won by Barry Sligar

PMRDL has two mixed teams – the ‘Nightmares’ and the ‘Voodoo Vipers’ and the closest all-male team is from Coffs – the ‘Coffs Chaos’.

PMRDL has been established since 2012 and consists of members who have a love for quad skating.

Roller derby does not use inline skates, but ‘quad’ skates, which are the old style skates from the 1980s and earlier.

These skates have two axles with wheels sitting parallel to each other, like a car and give better stability and balance.

“It’s a family-friendly sport and our ‘Quad Fit’ program on a Friday night between 6 and 8pm is great for youth from 7 years and older,” says Kate.

“We have people coming from Laurieton, Crescent Head and Rollands Plains – it’s really growing in interest.

“We have five guys who play in our mixed teams but we’d really like to encourage more guys to learn – it’s a great way to meet adventurous women,” jokes Kate.

There are many different roles that can be filled in the league, including coaching, skating, helping with Quad-Fit classes, refereeing and non-skating officials which make up the club of about 60 members.

“We even have a 65-year-old lady who is our biggest supporter – she always wanted to skate when younger,” says Kate.

Come along to the information night at 7pm on Wednesday, May 18 at the Hastings Hotel in Wauchope. For further details, you can contact Kate on 0434 848 336. with a nett 67 and runner up was David Martin with a nett 69, third place winner Mal Potter with a nett 70 on a countback.

Venue changes key to Rd 10 FEEL refreshed?

With just the Test and City V Country last weekend most tipsters should be ready to crashtackle their way back into the NRL season. Your Local Independent (YLI) did our best to keep your scores ticking over by tipping both the successful Kangaroos and City.

We have come back to Round 10, a real tester.

If the match-ups aren’t tough enough, there are a few venue twists to make your job even that little bit tougher.

For example you would expect the Panthers’ form to be too consistent for the Warriors, but that game is being played in Christchurch, which will be a plus for the Kiwis.

And then of course there is the double-header at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

Both the Storm and Manly are giving away home ground advantages to the Cowboys and Broncos respectively.

The rep break will have given all teams the chance to recalibrate and put their seasons back on track if they had been struggling.

This would be particularly the case for teams such as the Rabbitohs and Warriors.

OK, here are our tips for Round 10. Good luck: Dragons v Raiders (Thurs May 12, 7.50pm, Jubilee Oval, Sydney): Dragons have been hot and cold, while the Raiders have been one of the big improvers this year. Bookies have the early money on the Raiders, so makes sense to follow that lead.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Raiders Eels v Rabbitohs (Fri May 13, 7.50pm, Pirtek Stadium, Parramatta): You would expect the Eels to be making every post a winner now after the NRL ruled they are to lose all 12

competition points over salary cap breaches.

They have been a real revelation this season. The fire in their belly will burn brightly over the next couple of rounds. Then reality will set in. Until then, get on Parra!

• Your Local Independent Tips: Eels Panthers v Warriors (Sat May 14, 3pm, AMI Stadium, Christchurch): One of the venue change games we spoke about in the intro. This is a real potential game-changer for the Warriors.

Despite a miss-firing season they are still in equal eighth. They are ‘at home’ in Christchurch and although Penrith have been solid in all their games they will not match the Kiwis if the NZers are at even 80 per cent in attack.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Warriors Storm v Cowboys (Sat May 14, 5.30pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane): First of the double-headers at Suncorp. The Cows are strong

ANZ Stadium, Sydney): Bulldogs are warm favourites to take this one out. Despite their last round win over the Rabbits, the Tigers have a fair bit of good will to win back from tipsters before they will be tipped with any confidence.

Tigers also have a growing injury toll, which isn’t helping their topsy-turvy season. Dogs will be too tough.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Bulldogs Titans v Roosters (Mon May 16, 7pm, Cbus Stadium, Gold Coast): With Mitchell Pearce back on deck the Roosters are crowing, however this game will decide whether that is premature.

The Titans have a knack of chopping down tall poppies with their no-frills approach. The Gold Coast team started the year well before hitting some quicksand. This game will say a lot about both teams. Toss a coin.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Titans

early favourites and should have the momentum to win this one. Bounce of the ball is always crucial when two top teams meet, but this is almost better than a home game for the Cowboys.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Cowboys Sea Eagles v Broncos (Sat May 14, 7.55pm, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane): Home game.

Last round loss to the Sharks. The Broncos will be on fire. Wayne Bennett will have had two weeks to bust some egos after the Sharks hiccup.

Manly will be the whipping boys.

• Your Local Independent Tips: Broncos Knights v Sharks (Sun May 15, 2pm, Hunter Stadium, Newcastle): We are tempting fate by saying this is the only ‘easy’ tip for the round, but even the bookies have the Knights at almost $5 in a two-horse race.
