Real community Smithtown locals invest in their youth

By SUE PATERICK THE newly-formed Smithtown Community Resource and Development Committee will leap into 2018 with a project to give local youth a safe and healthy place to exercise.

The Court and Track Project will see the development and construction of a half or three-quarter size basketball/netball court, and the design of a bike track for bike riders and skaters.

According to Secretary, Allyson Hickson, the committee is strongly focused on developing facilities for the area’s growing population, which includes an increasing number of young people.

Smithtown is situated on the Macleay River, northeast of Kempsey.

“As a community we have acknowledged that we don’t offer our youths aged eight to 18 a stimulating sporting option,” she said.

“So we need to provide this age group with a safe and interesting area to gather and develop skills that promote a healthy lifestyle.”

The committee also feels that other sporting codes would utilise the proposed courts and track for training purposes for talented local athletes.

To help get this worthy project off the drawing board, the committee is seeking a donation to include in an auction at its Charity ‘Day on the Green’ Bowl’s Fundraiser.

The committee will also be serving breakfast on

Saturday, January 20, from 8am outside the Smithtown General Store.

“Our idea is to attract as many members as possible with an outstanding list of donations to get this project off the ground,” Allyson added.

“We understand it will be a challenge, but with the community’s help we are confident we can make a difference for our targeted age group.”

Once the funds have been raised and armed with support letters and a petition, the committee will address Kempsey Shire Council and local businesses to express an interest in obtaining grant funding.

The Charity ‘Day on the Green’ Bowl’s Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, March 10, at the Smithtown Bowling Club from 4pm.

If you would like to donate to this commendable cause then contact Allyson Hickson on 0499236555 or email her at tony.hickson1@bigpond.com You can also contact Jo-Lee Felton 0408674195 or check out the Smithtown Resource and Development Committee on Facebook.

Rotary ready to celebrate Local club seeking pictorial history across 70 years

By LIZZIE STIPCEVIC

no doubt “PortThere’s Macquarie is a better place with a club like Rotary involved

“

THE Rotary Club Port Macquarie is canvassing their more than 400 present and past members to help fill in the gaps.

May brings the 70th anniversary of this historic Rotary club and to mark the special occasion, a book ‘Seventy Years of Service Above Self’ is being published.

“I’ve been searching all over to find Port Macquarie Rotary Club members from the past,” said Kerry Medway, Port Macquarie Rotary Club’s Vocational Director.

The book will be published as a beautiful coffee table presentation with photographs and text displaying the history of the club since 1948.

“There has never been a pictorial publication on our club ever before,” said Mr Medway.

“All of the information from the first 20 years of our club has been lost or destroyed so it’s hard to get all the details.

“Something that has really helped me is Laurie Barber’s book called ‘The First Forty Years’. Laurie is the longest serving member of our club and he wrote the book many years ago.

“On the club’s 50th anniversary Gordon Milne added another 10 years. They are the only two resources I can check on with for my information, so it’s really important that people share their photographs and stories so nothing will be missed.”

There are hundreds of projects that the Port Macquarie Rotary Club has taken on over the last 70 years that have literally shaped the town that it is today.

From 1954: Film star Chips Rafferty, centre, visits the Port Macquarie Rotary Club and is pictured with Bill De La Rue, 1954-55 President Harry Warlters, Peter Hatsatouris, Charlie Uptin and ‘Snow’ Brain.

“The first project that the club ever engaged in was in 1948 when the boys went out and cleared all the trees so they could build an air strip,” said Mr Medway.

“The second major project was the planting of the Norfolk Pines, the ones you now see towering up into the sky. They were planted by Rotary. Rotary has also helped build the Olympic pool by fundraising and getting people to buy and donate tiles.

“Another huge project was the building of Rotary Lodge up at the hospital which was a multi-million dollar project.

“The Lodge is a motel for people to stay while their families are sick in hospital. Rotary instigated it, but it’s a project that all the rotary clubs have been a part of, as well as the Cancer Council and the government.”

Chiselled & CHARMED The Cruise Terminal presents

The Ultimate Ladies Night Cruise 9th February 2018 6pm – 8pm and 9pm – 11pm

For Mr Medway, who has been a Rotarian for 33 years, it’s the big impact Rotary has not only on Port Macquarie, but across the world that makes him most proud to be part of the organization.

“Firstly, Rotary has always been very supportive of young people,” said Mr Medway.

“We send students overseas for exchange, we also help students in local Port Macquarie schools with a science program where students can spend a week in Canberra and learn about nuclear science. They get to experience a variety of scientific projects, which can influence their careers.

“But I think one of the things I find most exciting about Rotary is looking at it as a huge worldwide organisation. Rotary has been the driving force to almost eliminating polio from

the world. As a single person I can’t do much to impact the world, but in a group like Rotary I can do something really significant.

“Rotary would have raised millions of dollars over the 70 years towards numerous community projects around the town. There’s hundreds of thousands of voluntary hours that people have put into the area.

“There’s no doubt Port Macquarie is a better place with a club like Rotary involved.”

So save the date and soak in great company and history at the Port Macquarie Rotary Club’s 70th anniversary and book launch on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at the Panthers Club Port Macquarie.

The Publishing deadline is approaching so anyone involved with Rotary who would like to share their pictures, newspaper clippings, and stories by January 31, contact Kerry Medway on kerry@kerrymedway.org or 042 366 3301.

Mr Medway is especially looking for photos from the pre -1990s.

LETTER WEEK OF THE

All letters sent in must include your address and phone number and be under 350 words.

Let’s start 2018 with hope

THE Salvation Army has been overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of support and generosity from the Australian public with our Christmas Appeal raising $15 million to help those in need.

We have been heartened to see our community unite and give hope where it’s needed most.

For many people in Australia and around the world, 2017 was a year that was filled with adversity and challenges.

Sadly, The Salvation Army continues to see an increase in people facing hardship, distress and crisis.

With all of life’s injustices, it can sometimes

be hard to hold onto hope.

So as we enter the New Year let us prioritise empathy, respect and compassion for one another, never underestimating the power these qualities can bring to those in need.

Let us renew our commitment to persevere and help those who are suffering, empowering them with love and hope.

And let us not underestimate the influence we all have to make a difference in the lives of others.

Leigh Cleave Communications & Fundraising Director The Salvation Army

THANK you for a good reprimand of the loud music at Lighthouse Tavern. Now what about the local Catholic schools that broadcast all over the area and it is not a matter of sound proofing, but of discretion with the volume control. It is not nice to be made aware of school events.

I am told the children do not like it, so whose needs are being met? What is wrong with the old school bell hooked up so that it rings for only for a few seconds.

Name and address supplied

OFTEN read stories in your wonderful newspaper about the endeavours of the numerous volunteer groups in the region.

We should all take a minute to stop and think about how we would get on if they suddenly stopped. From SES to lifesavers to all the people who raise money for a wide variety of causes.

To all the local volunteers, well done! You are appreciated ... but please don’t stop your great work any time soon.

Thumbs Down PORT Macquarie is being advertised as a Tourist Town, but the approaches to Port at the Lake Rd and Oxley Highway do not give a tourist a ‘good look’ about our town. I have rung the Council requesting a sweeper to clean up the gutters and the centre approaches and was told it was a RMS responsibility.

On ringing them, I was told it was a Council responsibility.

I don’t care whose responsibility it is. I can’t remember the last time a sweeper went through. The roundabout itself is clean but the approaches are what I consider ‘shameful’ when trying to encourage visitors to our lovely town.

Shame on Council by not managing its water storage when there are no excuses that can be used to support their actions.

The other thing that blows me away? The #ME TOO campaign.

I was coping with it all quite well and thinking to myself, good on you for bringing the truth out in to the open.

Then along came the Golden Globes awards night. I have one thing to say: ‘What the hell were these women thinking?’

Wearing black as a statement is all good, wearing black outfits that are soooooo bloody revealing is not helping people take your cause seriously!

You can’t change a culture entrenched in double standards, with double standards. Plain and simple!

Meanwhile, back in Australia, we have a new wave of crime with the accompanying wave of racism and bigotry erupting in Victoria.

A flurry of sexual abuse and harassment claims are coming to surface in our entertainment industry.

There’s a pattern and another column there.

Our PM has just approved a discretionary wage increase amounting to $840,000 in taxpayer’s money to 30 government staffers - $28,000 apiece wage rise – wouldn’t it be nice.

And the piece de resistance? The nation has fractured into three groups fighting over who is or isn’t celebrating Australia Day! OMG! The struggle is real!

Thumbs Up TO Port Macquarie-Hastings Council staff - there will always be the knockers, but my experience over a lot of years is that you do a wonderful job. Not always easy to keep smiling with some of the ‘characters’ you deal with on a daily basis.

Keep up the good work.

I DON’T know about you, but reality has kicked in and I’ve got to say – it’s been a struggle getting back in to work mode!

It feels like we’ve been back six months it’s not even two weeks and I could happily take six months off.

Life is so much easier when you can ignore the world!

After having a half-hearted hiatus from the constant bombardment of media releases, local, national and international news and digital media that comes my way, I’m back in amongst it and I’m not really liking what I see.

At all!

I cannot begin to imagine, how the people of Hawaii felt for the 40 minutes they thought there was a nuclear missile hurtling directly towards them.

Thankfully it was a false alarm caused by a government official who pushed the alert button in error – the biggest problem is - it took 40 minutes to let the rest of the Hawaiian population know!

That’s a hell of a long time if you think your life is on the line and the world is going to end any minute now.

I just hope that no-one took their own lives, rather than waiting for the impact, ensuing devastation and mass destruction.

If there were, I bet we never hear about it.

I don’t even want to imagine the scenario had there been a retaliation.

Lucky someone had the sense to double check, rather than having a knee jerk reaction or we’d be looking at whole heap of new SHITHOLES around the world.

(Don’t get me started on the SHITHOLE topic!)

Don’t worry though, the offending ‘government official’ has been re-assigned to other duties – hopefully the only button he’ll

A year of climate extremes

By SUE PATERICK

Climate Council “ofThe NSW says there are five steps you can take to push for action on climate change if, like me, the thought of extreme weather events makes you increasingly nervous

Another storm brews over the NSW Mid North Coast change will make the fire season in NSW start earlier, last longer and be fiercer.

It recommends that authorities double the number of firefighters by 2030 to cope with the increased risk of bushfires.

These bushfires were exacerbated because much of eastern Australia from central Queensland to eastern Victoria experienced below average rainfall.

At the same time eastern Western Australia, most of the Northern Territory and western South Australia recorded above average rainfall.

In early February Perth experienced massive rainfall and cool conditions.

Share the Dream of the Queen’s Baton as it travels through Kempsey on it’s way to GC2018!

• •

Minimum temperatures in July also saw south-eastern Australia experience some of the coldest temperatures since 1997.

For the southern mainland winter nights were cooler than average due to a positive Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and a strong subtropical ridge.

Warm ocean temperatures saw the Great Barrier Reef suffer another bleaching event and most of the world’s oceans had warmer sea surface averages than normal.

It was also a year of severe thunder storms, large hail and savage winds, which caused floods and damage to property throughout Australia.

The Climate Council of NSW says there are five steps you can take to push for action on climate change if, like me, the thought of extreme weather events makes you increasingly nervous.

It lists such events as extreme heatwaves that last longer and are more frequent combined with an increased risk of bushfires and supercharged storms.

The first step is to get the facts on climate change, the second is to read the latest reports on renewable energy, while the third step is to nominate your local council for the Cities Power Partnership.

The fourth step is to write to your local parliamentarian telling them about a climate change issue that is important to you, and the final step is to share as many of the Climate Council videos as possible with friends and family.

“

IT was a year of extremes in 2017 with Australia recording some of its hottest days, its coolest nights, its wettest months and its driest.

In the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM) annual Climate Statement for 2017, last year was the third warmest on record with national temperatures 0.95° above average.

March, July, August, October and December were all among the 10 warmest months on record with maximum and minimum temperatures warmer than average.

South-eastern Australia had three distinct heat waves in January and February with the hottest ever temperatures recorded between February 9 and 12.

Temperatures rose eight to 12 degrees above average and were sustained over days.

January, 2017, was the warmest on record for Sydney and Brisbane, while Moree in central NSW had 54 consecutive days above 35° from December, 2016, to February, 2017.

I remember sweltering inside on February 12 as 47° temperatures baked the ground and singed the air.

As we binge-watched our newly-installed Netflix, a large bushfire was burning much of Dondingalong to the ground.

When the fire headed toward us after a wind change later that evening, we evacuated with a car full of precious things and our dogs.

We were allowed to return about midnight to find our wooden house mercifully still standing.

The Dondingalong blaze destroyed 450 hectares, one house, one uninhabited dwelling and numerous outbuildings and fences.

It was one of many catastrophic fires throughout NSW at that time.

In a report released late last year, the Climate Council of NSW warned that climate

They literally have their heads in the clouds. They’re really glowing because at 13 “years old they never thought they’d be in control of an aircraft.

“

Where the sky is the limit

By SUE PATERICK FOR most of us being in a plane is exciting enough because it means we’re headed somewhere wonderful for a well-deserved break.

So imagine being in the cockpit with your hands on the controls when you don’t even have a driver’s licence yet.

That incredible feeling is just what budding pilots from the 312 Squadron (Macleay Valley) Air Force Cadets get to experience during their training.

As part of their lessons, these lucky cadets get to learn to fly with experienced pilots from the Australian Air Force Cadets own flying instructors at a cheaper price than normal.

According to the Squadron’s Commanding Officer, Flight Lieutenant (AAFC) Ben Simon, the cadets can learn to fly at 16 before they can legally drive a car.

They are sent up in what is called ‘a powered exercise’ with an experienced pilot to get the feel of flying, and where they actually get to take over the controls.

“It’s a lot of fun and an amazing achievement to fly solo,” Ben said.

The cadets aged from 13 to 20, also learn field craft, survival techniques and service knowledge about the RAAF and the Australian Defence Force.

“These skills are put into practice on bivouacs and other activities,” Ben explained.

Having been a cadet himself once Ben knows the benefits of joining such an adventurous group.

“It teaches you leadership, team work, confidence and citizenship,” he said.

When he looked back on his time as a young cadet, Ben thought the biggest lesson was being

312 Squadron Catafalque Guard, Louis Bertoli, Cadet Warrant Officer Michael Bednarz, Cadet Corporal Cameron Hewitt, Cadet Sergeant Caitlin Harris, Cadet Corporal Ryan Chadwick and Leading Cadet Soniq Nagra, at the 2017 Anzac Day

Cadet Sergeant Amy Irving from 312 Squadron and Cadet Sergeant Nathan Barnett (from 333 Squadron Port Macquarie) running the command post during a field exercise challenged to overcome his fears.

Learning a raft of new skills and forming great friendships were also a large and pleasurable part of his training.

“The friends I made then are still good friends today,” Ben said.

In the 312 Squadron a strong emphasis is also placed on cadets leading cadets.

There is a chain of command so senior cadets pass on commands from staff.

“Five of our cadets are going down to the RAAF Base in Wagga Wagga to learn the skills

required to advance to the next rank,” Ben added.

The 312 Squadron first formed in 1999 when a parent, Bob Gough, thought there was enough local interest to start a squadron here in Kempsey.

“At the time Bob was driving his son, Adam, down to attend lessons at the 333 Squadron (Port Macquarie) Air Force Cadets,” Ben said.

The 312 Squadron started as a ‘flight in principle’ with Port until it became its own unit in 2000.

Ben has always wanted to fly like his father and grandfather, both members of the Kempsey

Flying Club.

He is currently going for his pilot’s licence and says that flying a plane is different for everyone.

“The first few times it’s scary, but it’s also exhilarating and fun,” he said.

“It’s an amazing feeling.”

One he couldn’t quite explain, other than to say you have to fly to really know the feeling.

He recalled the look on some of the cadets’ faces when they returned from a training flight.

“They literally have their heads in the clouds,” Ben said.

“They’re really glowing because at 13 years old they never thought they’d be in control of an aircraft.”

The 312 Squadron currently has 25 cadets but is hoping to attract more young people looking to take to the skies.

It is holding a recruitment drive from January until mid-March.

So if you have always wanted to learn to fly like Ben then register your interest to become a cadet with the 312 Squadron at an information night on Thursday, February 15, or Thursday, February 22.

The information nights will be held at the Kempsey Army Reserve Depot at the intersection of Lachlan and Middleton Streets from 5.30pm.

For more on the information night or to become a cadet contact Ben on 0408 486 859, or email the Squadron on admino.312sqn@ aafc.org.au

Miss Teen to debut in Port

By LIZZIE STIPCEVIC

Joel gets Aussie Day gong THE Kempsey Shire’s Australia Day Ambassador has been announced with Joel Pilgrim, pictured, to take part in local celebrations for 2018.

Mr Pilgrim will join Kempsey Shire Mayor Liz Campbell in presenting the 2018 Australia Day Awards to be held on Australia Day Eve, January 25 from 5pm at the Slim Dusty Centre in South Kempsey.

The event will include a Welcome to Country, a citizenship ceremony and announcement of the winners of Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Group of the Year and Volunteer of the Year.

Mr Pilgrim is the CEO of the mental health surf therapy charity, the Waves of Wellness Foundation also known as WOW. Joel is an occupational therapist with clinical experience working with youth and adults at risk and diagnosed with mental health issues.

Joel founded the One Wave Surfing Experience, an eight-week, learn-to-surf program that supports people diagnosed with mental health issues and focuses on functional recovery. Its success saw the birth of WOW and Joel now leads program teams in three states around Australia.

IT’S not just about the glitz and glamour at this year’s 14th Miss Teen Australia North Coast competition.

In fact, the famous Miss Teen Australia competition is coming to Port Macquarie for the first time ever.

“It’s the largest teen beauty pageant in the southern hemisphere so it’s pretty exciting to be coming here to Port Macquarie,” said Mandy Davidson, Regional Manager of the NSW North Coast heat of Miss Teen Australia and from Maverique Events in Port Macquarie.

“Our range is from Newcastle to Coffs Harbour and out to Tamworth, so it’s really just putting feelers out this year. It would be great to have 20 girls for each category.”

The categories for the regional heat in March in Port Macquarie is 13-15-year-olds, who will be competing for Junior Miss Teen Australia and then 16-19-year-olds, who will be competing for Miss Teen Australia.

The regional heat in in Port Macquarie will be followed by the state finals, which are taking place in Sydney in April, followed by the national finals in Townsville in May. This highly regarded competition has resulted in many young girls following their dreams of treading the catwalks in international fashion shows and even going onto careers in acting.

“Being able to step up on stage in front of people is a huge asset to have,” explained Mandy. “To be able to overcome anxiety and fears and to be able to step up in front of people and comfortably embrace who you are is a really

good asset to take with you through life for personal development.

“These young women will take that comfortability with being under pressure into future job interviews and all sorts of things.

“It’s really an experience of people skills and pressure and public speaking. There’s lots of advantages with holding your own space in front of people comfortably and that can only come with getting out there and getting on stage.”

The competitors will enter into three different catwalks – casual wear, formal wear, sports wear for the juniors, and swimwear for the seniors.

They will also be asked questions which they will answer on the spot and be judged on.

The juniors at the national final will win a trip for two to Fiji for four nights and the senior prize is a trip to America or Singapore.

“There are such great opportunities and prizes that come from this event,” Mandy said. “A past Miss Teen Australia winner ended up becoming the face of ‘Factorie’ fashion label.”

The NSW North Coast heat of Miss Teen Australia will take place on March 24, 2018, at the Panthers Port Macquarie. The heat is open to teenager girls aged 13-19 from Port Macquarie and surrounding areas.

To enter, send a message via the Facebook page Miss Teen Australia NSW North Coast, or email: northcoast@missteenaustralia.com. au or alternatively call the regional managers Vicki Carnes from Victoria’s Modeling Agency and Costume Hire on 0411 558 411 or Mandy Davidson from Maverique Events on 0408 287 553.

We know that children are spending over a third of their day at school so the food that is in their lunch boxes will provide them with the amount of energy they need for the day

Some food for thought

By LIZZIE STIPCEVIC CHILDREN on the Mid North Coast can start the New Year with a new lunch box.

The Cancer Council NSW’s Eat It To Beat It program is urging families to build everyday healthy habits for life.

“In the grand scheme of things we know that 1 in 3 cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle,” said Juanita Nantes, Nutrition Project Officer, Eat It To Beat It, Northern New South Wales Cancer Council.

“This includes eating well and maintaining a healthy weight, but only 7% of NSW children, including the Mid North Coast, don’t eat enough vegetables and 22% of children are overweight or obese. So that’s where we came in with the ‘Eat It To Beat It’ strategy.”

As apart of the Eat It To Beat It program, parents of primary aged children can attend free sessions and workshops across the Hastings helping them to understand why fruit and vegetables are so important. Schools can also book in a session for their students.

“We know that children are spending over a third of their day at school so the food that is in their lunch boxes will provide them with the amount of energy they need for the day,” explained Ms Nantes. “If these aren’t healthy options, they won’t be able to have the best learning outcomes and energy for the day, and we’ve got the research to back that up.

“We know the 2 and 5 methods – 5 serves of

veggies and 2 serves of fruit a day. By applying this we know they will be equipped for the best learning for the day.”

The Cancer Council also recently launched their website - healthylunchbox.com.au - which includes recipes, ideas and tips to enable parents to plan their children’s school lunches.

“With one child eating about 2,500 lunches throughout their years at school, many parents report that packing lunch boxes can be a chore, especially when it comes to getting kids enthusiastic about healthy options such as fruit and vegetables,” Ms Nantes said.

“One of the biggest challenges out there is this overwhelming amount of processed foods

readily available. Parents might think it’s a lot more convenient to throw in a little packet of chips, but even though it might seem more convenient and affordable, it’s not going to add any nourishment and a banana will actually cost less. We encourage parents step by step, we aren’t telling parents to throw out everything in their pantry and fill it up with new things, just step by step making those healthy swaps.”

Ms Nantes says there are certain foods that should be in the lunch box and those that definitely should not.

“Parents should always include a serve of veg and a serve of fruit in the lunch box,” said Ms Nantes. “So that could be some chopped up carrots, even a little tub of hummus, a little bit of lettuce and tomato on a sandwich. Some parents like curries and rice paper rolls, so any serve of veg. Children also need a serve of fruit, like fruit salad or a cup of grapes is great.

“We recommend to avoid processed and packaged foods and processed meats like ham, salami, and chorizo, which can actually lead to an increased risk of bowel cancer. Parents should also avoid buying things like roll ups and muesli bars, which can be tricky as they are advertised as healthy. That is where the lunch box website will come in use.”

To find out when and where the free Eat It To Beat It workshops are visit eatittobeatit.com.au The workshops range from 15 minute sessions run by volunteers who give parents simple tips on packing the right foods for school lunches.

There are also Fruit and Veg Sense workshops for parents, which run for 90 minutes and show parents how to save time and money while making healthy meals for the whole family.

The doors of the Port Macquarie (above left) and Wauchope (right) TAFEs will be open this week for potential students to check out courses

TAFE success rate growing

By LIZZIE STIPCEVIC KICKSTART your life with a visit to your local TAFE. January 15-20 is Enrolment Week for TAFE NSW locations where future students will get the chance to find out all there is to know about their dream studies.

“TAFE NSW is more important than ever because of the high quality VET training it is known for delivering,” said Marie Larkings, Regional General Manager, TAFE NSW. “80% of TAFE graduates are employed after studying at TAFE NSW and the Skilling Australia Foundation recently reported that nine of the 10 jobs with fastest demand growth over the next five years require VET training, so the choice of around 1,200 VET courses at TAFE NSW makes it a more popular option than ever before.”

TAFE NSW has kept up to date with what future employers are looking for by making sure those courses are available, some of which are extremely popular.

“The popular and in-demand courses in 2017 on the North Coast were in three broad areas - community services, business and tourism, which reflects the growing and vibrant industries in the Port Macquarie-Hastings area,” explained Ms Larkings.

“We’re seeing ongoing interest for courses in Mental Health, Early Childhood Education, Aged Care, Tourism, Event Management, Health or Business Administration, Leadership and Management.”

Future students can take part in information sessions, pop-up stalls, and demonstrations displaying course offerings, but also talk to TAFE advisers about future employment in their chosen industry.

“Because of TAFE NSW’s 25,000 employer connections, and multiple work placement programs, the transition to the workplace is increasingly seamless,” Ms Larkings said. “A recent example in the Hastings: two Information Technology Diploma students, who completed university degrees in Computer Science, came to TAFE NSW Port Macquarie to get practical skills as they couldn’t find work. They are now employed fulltime at Essential Energy on the Help Desk.

“Also, research conducted by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research into employer experiences showed that 98% of the employers interviewed expressed satisfaction with the quality of training delivered by TAFE NSW.” Find out more about possible future studies at TAFE NSW Enrolment Week from January 1520. Campuses on the Mid North Coast include

Port Macquarie, Wauchope, and Kempsey.

The Port Macquarie TAFE NSW will also have tours of the campus, meet the teachers, light refreshments and giveaways.

TAFE NSW Wauchope will be running workshops, a free sausage sizzle and giveaways on Thursday January 18 from 8.30 am – 4 pm.

For more information on these activities, visit tafensw.edu.au/enrolment-week The NSW Government provides significant subsidies for a range of courses at TAFE NSW, ensuring students can undertake the studies they need to up skill or find a new job, without having to graduate with a huge debt.

Can’t attend? No problem. Signature events from around the state will be live-streamed to the TAFE NSW Facebook page throughout the week, with extended hours and extra activities for ‘TAFE Tuesday’ at select campuses.

CONCESSIONS AVAILABLE

Local boaties funding boost FUNDING Boost For Local Boaties: Boaties will be celebrating with major improvements announced this week to local waterways facilities in the Port Macquarie electorate.

Two projects in the Camden Haven have been approved to share $17 million in funding under Round Two of the NSW Government’s Boating Now program.

Almost $570,000 would deliver new boat ramps, pontoons and jetties, and improve car and trailer parking facilities at key access points across the local area.

The local projects include $570,000 to install two lane boat ramps and pontoons at the Bruce Porter Reserve Boat Ramp at Laurieton and the Dunbogan Reserve Boat Ramp.

In NSW, we have some of the finest waterways and each year more than two million people head out on the water on boats or other watercraft to enjoy the sun, catch a few fish or to spend time with family and friends.

The NSW Government will be delivering these local projects by the end of 2019 in partnership with local councils and other partners, to make water activities safer, easily accessible and more enjoyable.

Boating Now is a $70 million five year program, on top of a $26 million contribution by local councils and other delivery partners,

STATE MATTERS

With Leslie Williams State Member for Port Macquarie

to deliver vital boating infrastructure across the state.

Reducing Waste: Port MacquarieHastings Council has received a $92,136 NSW Government grant to help reduce the amount of organic waste that goes to landfill.

Through the Organics Infrastructure grants, the NSW Government is working with councils and businesses to tackle organic and food waste at a community level.

Remondis is under contract with Port Macquarie Hastings Council to operate the Cairncross Organics Resource Recovery Facility.

The facility has an annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes, with inputs being kerbside collected food and garden organics, mulch and biosolids.

The grant will support new infrastructure to improve waste facilities, increase processing capacity and fund new equipment, like refrigerated vans and freezers.

DID you know that the people of Gouge Eye, California, changed the name to Pleasant Grove?

Did you also know that gouging of eyes was a cruel practice in the USA? Gouging the eyes out became a practice with the boatmen along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

Let me tell you the story, as I understand it.

Gouge has several meanings. The main meaning these days is a tool.

Craig Carver, writing in A History of English in its Own Words said that around 1885 an English lexicographer had described gouging as “a cruel practice used by the Bostonians in America”.

The Heinemann dictionary has a quote “they gouged his eyes out with their thumbs The Webster says “to cheat or swindle”.

Reader’s Digest says “to gauge out an eye with the thumb”. My big dictionary, the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary, says “to force out the eye of a person”.

The big dictionary gives several other definitions, such as a surgical tool, a chisel or similar-shaped tool, a stamping tool for cutting out forms in paper or leather, a mining tool, a cheat and a few other definitions.

But I was more interested in gouging the eyes.

The term seems to come from the Latin gubia

my

LAURIE BARBER

and it reached old English in the 13th century.

Eye-gouging as a fighting style was once a popular form of sport fighting in the backcountry of the United States, primarily in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Craig M Carver in his book A History of English in its Own Words said this: “A precise technique that consisted of twisting the forefinger in a lock of hair near the temple and scooping the eye out with the thumbnail, which was grown long for that purpose”.

Eye-gouging is prohibited in modern sports, but it is still illegal in some sports such as various types of football.

The definition of gouge is to remove or scoop material from an object usually with a pointed object or to use the finger or thumb to remove part of the eye. Brushing the hand over the eye apparently does not count.

In 1811 Jimmy So wrote in The Book That

Federal MP for Lyne

THIS week I was pleased to see the Minister for Health Greg Hunt and Minister for Rural Health Bridget McKenzie announce an additional $110 million to extend and expand mental health programs for young Australians.

Latest research suggests that around four million Australians of all ages, including young children, experience a mental health condition every year.

As part of the additional funding package, beyondblue will receive up to $46 million for its integrated school-based Mental Health in Education initiative. beyondblue will use the funding to continue providing information, advice and support to teachers and early childhood workers so that they can teach children and young people skills for good social and emotional development, work together with families, and recognise and get help for children and young people going through a difficult time or a family crisis.

Emerging Minds will receive $16 million for the National Workforce Support in Child Mental Health initiative.

The funding will be used to continue delivering support to professionals and services who work with children.

Changed the World “at court, Paggio once got into a brawl with a rival official and tried to gauge out his eyes”.

In 1827 a magazine reported that “when they had gotten him on his back, one gouged him like a Yankee”. Some countries have sentenced men to have their eyes gouged after they were convicted of destroying the sight of others.

My big dictionary goes back to 1785 with this definition.

In 1785 Francis Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue said in a definition of gouge “to squeeze out a man’s eye with the thumb, a cruel practice used by the Bostonians in America”.

The practice seemed to be common in the USA and for a while it didn’t even have a name.

And you want to know where Pleasant Grove is. It is roughly north of Sacramento. There is nothing of the old town there these days, just a few houses and a restaurant.

And if you want to know how to pronounce the word, the book English Pronounced by Cecil Whitaker-Wilson says it is pronounced “gowdj, not goodj”.

These days gouging is usually restricted to cheating or otherwise gaining an unfair advantage, which I presume is the same as cheating. lauriebarber.com;lbword@midcoast.com.au

Busy time on roads around Kempsey IT’S been a busy start to 2018 for Kempsey Shire Council’s infrastructure staff with a number of projects continuing across the region.

Contractor Eire Constructions has recommenced works on a 750-metre stretch of new road, connecting

South St to Gowings Hill Road.

The works are progressing ahead of schedule and are expected to be completed by mid-February.

Road reconstruction works to Sherwood Road between the Sherwood Bridge and Gowings Hill Road are planned to start this week.

Showcase a success

THE inclement weather didn’t keep the crowds away from the 12th Annual Mid North Coast Summer Showcase art exhibition and sale held at the Laurieton United Services Club over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

The Hastings Valley Fine Art Association has just announced the winners of the what is always a high point in their exhibition and event calendar.

Judging was carried out by Silva Vaughan Jones and LUSC manager, Robert Dwyer, was on hand to present the awards.

There was a change in conditions this year with all four categories open to artists of the Mid North Coast - that is, from Great Lakes in the south, Woolgoolga in the north, and west to Gloucester. Another change to the event was an increase in prizemoney, with first place in each category awarded $1,000 cash, a trophy and certificate.

Second place was awarded $250 cash and a certificate.

Despite the healthy competition created by the new entry conditions, HVFAA members continued to dominate in the placegetters.

Section A (Oil and Acrylic) was won by Judy Jelsma with ‘Over the Hills’. According to judge, Silva Vaughan Jones, the work was an iconic Australian landscape handled beautifully, a joyful work in complementary colours - blue/orange, red/green, loose and fresh. The eye travels well through the composition.

Colour has carrying power.

Effective creation of distance by scale.

Jill Cairns earned second place with ‘Swimming Hole Memories”. Silva Vaughan Jones said this had a lovely feeling of movement and water, was a difficult composition resolved well, loose fast brush strokes, complex background kept free.

Dorothy Taylor won Highly Commended with ‘Tour-deWauchope’ and Susan Burrows and Vanessa Newell earned a Special Mention.

Section B (Watercolour) was won by Roger Speaight with ‘Lake Innes 2’. Silva Vaughan Jones said Roger used stunning watercolour technique, success was achieved through simplicity, and the work was evocative, atmospheric and gentle.

Second place also went to Roger Speaight with ‘Falling Down – Dangarsleigh 2’ which the judge said was a well-balanced composition and not overworked.

Vicki Symes won the Highly Commended with her highly realistic depiction of ‘Geese’.

Above: Judy Jelsma and ‘Over The Hills’. Below: Jill Cairns with ‘Swimming Hole Memories’

Essential maintenance work is also currently underway on Loftus Bridge. The bridge joins Belmore River Left Bank Road to Right Bank Road opposite Loftus Road.

The bridge will be closed to all traffic until 4pm on Thursday, January 25.

Showground work NEW steel fencing panels are being installed at the Comboyne Showground to replace the deteriorated oval fencing following a successful Federal funding application by the Comboyne Show Society seeking $8,000 towards the $20,000 project.

Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie said the $8,000 grant had been made available under the Federal Coalition Government’s Stronger Communities program.

“The fencing around the oval has deteriorated to the extent it cannot adequately contain large animals and the show society informs me that it now needs to be replaced with steel fencing panels,” Dr Gillespie said.

“Two of the annual community events involving large animals are the Camp Draft and the Equestrian events sector for the Comboyne Show. The improved facilities will ensure the safety of the public and will encourage further community engagement.”

GOLF ROUND UP Hastings Ladies

In Section C (Pastels) The Joan Newton Award, first place went to Terri Maddock with ‘Waiting’ which Silva Vaughan Jones said was a lovely atmospheric interior with figure. She also said there was an excellent use of light and a perfect use of the medium with texture enhancing the composition. This is a very nice work and deserved its place.

Second place went to Jo Ernst with ‘Pete’. The judge’s comments were: “Bold fast lines with loose drawing achieved portrait of character, fresh and competent”.

Bernice Daher achieved Highly Commended with her depiction of ‘Holiday Fishing’.

Section D (Mixed Media) was won by Carol Simons with ‘Outer Layer’. Silva Vaughan Jones described this as a lovely Australian abstract creating bark qualities tonal work in analogous palette, warm and evocative. She also said the artist was not afraid to go non-figurative.

Second place was achieved by Jen Andrews with The Alley Cat. This was described by the judge as a lovely street scene, creating

great atmosphere, complexities resolved well with good handling of perspective.

Bernice Daher was presented with her second Highly Commended with ‘Turkish Delight’.

People’s Choice award this year was won by Vondee with ‘Sand Dunes Lighthouse Beach’.

Congratulations to all the winners and to all the hardworking artists involved. The HVFAA thanked their generous sponsors: Camden Haven Chamber of Commerce; Higgins & Dix Lawyers Laurieton; Laurieton United Services Club; First National North Haven; McGrath Estate Agents; Masterpiece Framing and Gallery.

Trio are on a dream ride

19

Family chasing Tamworth national rodeo success

By LIZZIE STIPCEVIC THE Ward family from Kundabung, near Kempsey, are chasing a not-so-average dream.

This year’s Australian Bushmen’s Campdraft and Rodeo Association (ABCRA) Finals will see Ward siblings 9-year-old Levi and his two sisters 12-year-old Bobbi, and 8-year-old Franki ‘steering’ and riding their way through the competition.

“The kids have always ridden horses on our 100 acre farm here in Kundabung,” said Dean Ward, father of the talented trio.

“Then (local) Brad Scott started training them and Mick Cooper soon after started coaching Levi for steer riding.”

Levi is ranked number one in the eight to 11-year-old steer ride and second in the under-11 barrel race. He maintains a busy rodeo schedule to prepare for a career as a professional bull rider. He is also the top ranked all-round junior cowboy after dominating multiple disciplines in 2017.

Bobbi, who will soon start at Westport High School, enters the nationals ranked number three in the 11 to 14-year-old barrel race. She has recorded some exceptional results in 2017 including an outstanding victory at the Moonbi Magic event.

Youngest sibling Bobbi has been training for her first competition this year, has a real passion for equine events, and will be hoping her and horse, Thunder, will make it through to the finals.

“Levi wants to be a professional bull rider so he puts in all his time at home on horses and steers and all the kids practice their ropes at home every moment they get,” explained Mr Ward.

“We ride under ABCRA, and it’s Australia wide, so they love catching up with their best friends from all around Australia. It’s a very social sport and we’ve met some pretty

Levi Ward, above, and sister Bobbi show off their rodeo skills unbelievable people.”

There’s no doubt that the danger of steer riding is somewhat of an attraction for young Levi.

“Levi definitely loves the adrenalin rush,” said Mr Ward. “As a parent you do worry in this sport. Some rodeos you turn up to and the steers or bulls are pretty big and Levi is only 9 years old and 26kg, but you can’t let it worry you because that’s what he loves to do, and the two girls, they handle themselves really well on the horses.”

All three children will be competing in the

finals on January 23 and 24 at the Ironman 4X4 ABCRA National Finals Junior Rodeo at Tamworth.

“This is Levi’s third year, Bob’s second year and Franki’s first year,” Mr Ward said. “Franki’s the baby of the family and she’s 8 in a couple of months and is so excited. Levi finished number three last year and with all his training and his determination, he just can’t be beaten this year.”

Mr Ward and his children have kept their rodeo dreams real.

get hurt,” explained Mr Ward. “Levi has been doing rodeo for three years and is 9 years old now and he wants to go to America because rodeo is really big over there. We will be driving along in the truck and he’ll say to his mum, ‘when I get married in America, I don’t know if I’ll want to come back again’.

Dean says the sport his kids have chosen comes at a cost, but thanks to the support of Levi’s sponsors, the American dream is not too far from reach.

“Unfortunately we can’t afford to take Levi to America right now as this sport is very very expensive,” Mr Ward said. “Levi has got some great sponsors and the town of Kempsey are really behind him. Some of them are doubling what they have given last year.

The family recently had a ‘warm up’ competition at Walcha where Levi won the steer ride, Bobbi placed third in the 11-14-yearolds barrel, and Franki also placed third in the under 11’s barrels.

Levi’s sponsors are: Tumblegum Bakehouse, Mavin Truck Centre, RedPoint, NRMA Kempsey, and Kempsey Stock and Land.
