Why we love ‘here’ By CHRISTINA PARKIN
THE mid-north coast has given its community another reason to love where they live and the smile on Tarryn Cafe’s face says it all. Tarryn’s family, mother Shellie Cafe and brother Levy Barrie, had felt frustrated that Tarryn had been unable to enjoy the outdoors as much as the rest of the family. Tarryn, 17, has suffered from a developmental disability complicated by leukaemia in 2011 which has led to more mobility issues. An enquiry to Ability Links to source a way Tarryn could enjoy outdoor activities led to many months of research to identify that a light-weight French-made ‘Hippocampe’ chair would be ideal for exploring bush trails and visits to the beach. Mid Coast Communities, a non-government organisation delivers the Ability Links NSW program on the Mid North Coast of NSW, to assist people with disability to live the lives they want to live within their local communities. They were able to make the chair ‘happen’ and allow Tarryn to enjoy the great outdoors. “It (the chair) is a fantastic asset and we are
so happy to organise the funds for the donation of this chair to the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) at Sea Acres Rainforest Centre,” said Anna Thompson, Program Manager for Ability and Inclusion at Ability Links. The all-terrain chair will be free to be borrowed 7 days a week from the reception desk at the Sea Acres Rainforest Centre in Port Macquarie. NPWS are organising a flyer listing a number of suitable trails and outdoor areas that can be explored using the chair. “It’s great for families with disabled members to be able to get out in the bush and enjoy it in the same way other families do,” said Steve Atkins, Area Manager for the NPWS. “The interchangeable ‘balloon’ wheels will allow for beach access in addition to traversing trails and boggy areas. “This chair will complement the wheelchairs available at Town Beach, Port Macquarie and Rainbow Beach, Bonny Hills, which are available while the Surf Life Savers are on duty. There is also another all-terrain chair available at the Skywalk at Dorrigo and other sites in NSW.”

More dementia resources needed
Present at the afternoon tea for Betty Hicks at the Port Macquarie Golf Club were (left to right) Bev Carver (Betty’s daughter), Marjorie McLaren - Foundation Member, Faye Gibbes - Life Member, Betty Hicks - Life Member (seated), Colleen Berry - member, Helen Byrnes (Betty’s daughter), Elizabeth Fraser - President, and Jeanette Stevens - Foundation Member (absent is foundation member Yvonne Cain)
Betty’s ticking list By CHRISTINA PARKIN BETTY Hicks’ bucket list is getting smaller. In fact her seven-point ‘to do’ list is now down to just three. The story of the former Port Macquarie primary school teacher’s bucket list was unearthed by Your Local Independent in April. Betty was determined to complete her list by her 90th birthday in September. With the help of family and some great locals she is well on her way. Betty, 89, was still surfing at 73, and continued playing Bridge up until a year ago. “However, she still loves to go to U3A and play scrabble,” says daughter, Bev Carver. “Mum even did indoor rock climbing with our kids at 73 – they’ve had all sorts of adventures with their grandmother!” So here is how Betty’s list is being ticked off: • Swimming at Flynn’s Beach - tick! • Fishing off a boat – tick! (“We didn’t manage to catch anything”, said Betty.) • Visit to Douglas Vale Historic Homestead – tick! Although the April day happened to be intermittently blowing a gale and showery,
Beryl Roods and Betty Hicks enjoyed meeting each other at the Douglas Vale Historic Homestead Heritage Day in April Betty enjoyed the music from Sing Australia, looking at the heritage cars, exploring the museum and various stalls. “I’d never been there and they were all so lovely,” remarked Betty. Betty was fortunate enough to meet an old friend, Beryl Roods, who hadn’t been to Douglas
Vale in 50 years – not since Beryl stopped having morning tea with Mrs Dick who lived in the house now made into a museum. • Photo with Port Macquarie Golf Club foundation members – tick! Betty was recently invited to a special afternoon tea at the Port Macquarie Golf Club with other life and foundation members. Betty’s husband Hastings Hicks had also built the extension on the golf club and the golf ball at the front for a float in the renowned ‘Carnival of the Pines’ that ran in Port Macquarie for many years. Betty was also known to have been the handicap manager ‘forever’, as her daughter, Bev quipped. The only items remaining on Betty’s Bucket List are: • A visit to Port Macquarie Primary School to visit the classroom Betty first taught in when she came to Port Macquarie in 1947; • A golf buggy ride around the 18 holes of the Port Macquarie Golf Club with her grandson, Jeremy, who lives in Newcastle, and; • Watching videos of her many travels (her family has converted the videos to disk so Betty can do this now any time at her leisure).
A LOCAL organisation providing innovative respite care for local people living with either dementia or a disability says there is an urgent need for more dementia resources. Hastings District Respite Care Services is able to provide respite and remedial programs for just 10% of the estimated 1400 people living with some degree of dementia in the local council area and its centres in Port Macquarie, Wauchope and Camden Haven are at or near full capacity. The district has the third highest number of dementia sufferers in NSW behind the Tweed and Myall Lakes. Of concern is the rising number of people under 65 with early onset dementia. The not-for-profit organisation this week celebrated its 30th anniversary with the official opening of its new district headquarters and day care facility in the former Lourdes Nursing Home complex in Morton Street, Port Macquarie. As well as office and administration areas, the complex incorporates a dementia-friendly kitchen and day-care centre, a landscaped Sensory Garden, and a small gym. Later this year, it is hoped to complete the refurbishment project by converting the building’s existing accommodation wing for emergency overnight or short-stay accommodation – a service not currently available in the district, according to General Manager Raymond Gouck.
Special service a tribute to mothers
ON Mother’s Day, almost 100 people gathered at the Innes Gardens Crematorium Chapel to remember mothers. The special half hour service organised by Pastor Kerry Medway from Grace Church and Debbie Hess, Manager of the Innes Gardens Memorial Park, brought a special touch to Mother’s Day celebrations. A special highlight of the service was the candle-lighting. Families and individuals came forward and called out the name of their mother or grandmother and lit a candle in their memory. Several had tears in their eyes as they paid tribute to their lost loved ones. It was moving to hear many old names not so popular today – Enid, Joan, Beatrice, Thora, Beryl etc being called. Following the service, Jan Packer assisted by husband Ros, cooked up a barrow of cakes and sandwiches for morning tea. This was the eighth year that Jan has provided a morning tea and she was presented with a special thank-you present by Manager Debbie. Special thanks to Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and Grace Church for supporting this event and to Debbie Hesse, Dana and Jan and Ross Packer for making this day special to so many.

LETTER WEEK
Sandy Mackenzie
OF THE
Brought to you by
I HAVE to respond to Roslyn who ‘kindly’ dropped a letter into me this week. Firstly, Roslyn, please accept my most humble apologies for the four times I incorrectly spelt our Prime Minister’s name in my column last week. Appalling on my behalf; however I do have an uncle whose name is spelt Malcom without the second ‘L’. No excuses. As you can imagine we are a small team putting together a FREE community newspaper each week, running on a shoestring budget and yes, sometimes we make mistakes. So thank you for bringing my error to my attention. I will be sure not to make the same mistake again. Secondly, I would like to address your scathing opening statement: “We all expect ‘Your Local Independent’ to contain lots of errors. It always does. That’s why many people don’t want to read it.” Really Roslyn? If our paper is so full of errors why do we receive so many comments to the contrary? Why am I even bothering to: a) Pay staff or the print and delivery costs each week? b) Put my family’s livelihood on the line to provide a community service for the benefit of others? AND… this is the kicker… c) Why are you reading it when you had to go out to get it? Readers: I’m all up for constructive criticism - go to Page 19 to tell us what you think.

Full story shows education is key I REFER to the letter from B Thompson, ‘Tough drug laws target the guilty’. I think that the letter of the week may not have told the full story and I think that the only thing that has some truth is that domestic violence affects everyone. The statement that ‘Drugs and alcohol are the major reason that first Nation (Indigenous people) have the problems they have’ is far from the truth. The fact that they were denied access to education, adequate health and housing for so long and had a generation of their families separated, is a major reason they have the current problem. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2013, almost five million people in Australia aged 14 or older
(26%) reported being a victim of an alcohol-related incident in 2013. But apparently we can’t do anything about this. As for Life Education, they and all other drug education programs are doing a fantastic job and I hope they keep up the good work. Let’s hope our government makes decisions based on evidence, not personal opinion, and continue to fund these programs. According to highlights from the Survey (AIHW NDSHS 2013), fewer 12–17 year olds are drinking alcohol and the proportion abstaining from alcohol increased significantly between 2010 and 2013 (from 64% to 72%). Declines were seen in use of illegal drugs including ecstasy (from 3.0% to 2.5%), heroin (from 0.2% to 0.1%) and GHB (from 0.1% to less
than 0.1%) in 2013, but the misuse of pharmaceuticals increased (from 4.2% in 2010 to 4.7% in 2013). So are the police going to have the power to arrest the chemists and Dr. Now? It seems that the older age group who clearly did not have access to education, are the only part of our community that have seen an increase in illicit drug use. While older people (aged 50 or older) generally have the lowest rates of recent illicit drug use, in recent years this age group has shown the largest increase in illicit use of drugs. This was the only age group to show a significant increase in illicit drug use between 2010 and 2013 (from 8.7% to 11.1% for 50–59 year olds and from 5.1% to 6.4% for people aged 60 and over).
The political parties have been known to take large amounts of money from the alcohol industry, so perhaps that’s why it is so hard to see us make changes in this area. I do agree that it is costing a lot, but it’s not in education, prevention or treatment. We have seen a decrease in funding to alcohol and drug programs over the last 2 years. The largest amount was spent on law enforcement-related activity (75%), prevention (10%), treatment (7%) and harm reduction (1%). So it seems that education is having a big impact on our kids as they seem to be more educated around drugs and alcohol than our older generations and this is being clearly seen in our national statistics.

DOWN
TO the young hoons with the ‘look at me, look at me’ complex in utes and on motorbikes who shower dust and noise over all enjoying the peace and quiet in Wall Reserve, North Haven. They seem to delight in high-revving ordinary motors. The parade is not a speedway!
Thumbs up TO Kempsey Police for their speedy action with hoons on trail bikes in West Kempsey.
Thumbs Down TO the person(s) who have taken all the Pink Lady Buggy Business cards (from the well-loved buggy service) from their display at Port Macquarie Base Hospital. For whatever reason, who knows, as the cards are of no use to anyone else. They were donated to us and now we have to replace them at a cost. The Pink Ladies/Men are all volunteers and the money raised goes to the hospital for much needed equipment. Why do something like this? Shame on you.
Thumbs Down WHOSE idea was it to move the war memorial from the beautiful riverside location? The town green position was up there with the most picturesque positions in Australia for a memorial. What a shame to see the previous pleasant surroundings replaced with tar and cement. If tree roots were a problem, would it have been less costly to install a root barrier? However, it’s there and we’re stuck with it, just like the Glasshouse!
Thumbs Up TO the council for its Tourist Information Centre at Kew. For years, Port Macquarie has missed out on the lucrative and fast growing Grey Nomad tourist trade that passes us on the highway.
Thumbs Up TO Michael and the staff at Forty Winks Port Macquarie for their exceptional and professional handling of my complaint about a faulty mattress. The matter was directed to the manufacturer and after several photos etc the mattress was replaced at no expense to myself and the old mattress taken away.

An epic Kempsey event By SUE PATERICK
“
The horse industry in the Macleay, Hastings and Nambucca valleys is huge. And camp drafting is the fastest growing sport in Australia.
Waste worry INSIDE COUNCIL
With Cr Sharon Griffiths
Portfolio: Public Spaces and Corporate Service
“
ACCORDING to Winston Churchill, no hour is wasted that is spent in the saddle; and given the success of the Macleay Valley’s inaugural Epic Horse Sale earlier this month it is obvious hundreds of horse enthusiasts agree. Over 400 people attended the two-day event held at Kempsey Showground, with some coming from as far away as the Hunter Valley, New England and southern Queensland. There were also several registered bidders from the Northern Territory, and all were vying for the 52 Australian stock and quarter horses for sale on the day. As part of the sale process, each horse showed it skills working cattle in the ring so a buyer could see what the horse could do before bidding on it. Prices averaged $6250 per horse but one beauty sold for $16,000. Principle of Midcoast Rural Agencies, Mark Haywood, said he founded the event because of continued requests and pressure from his clients. “The horse industry in the Macleay, Hastings and Nambucca valleys is huge,” he said. “And camp drafting is the fastest growing sport in Australia. “When a camp draft event is opened for nominations, they will be booked out within six to 12 hours.”

(Photo: DIANE YEO) According to Mark, the average camp drafter owns about three horses, and then they need trucks, saddles, bridles and much more. At next year’s Epic Horse Sale there will be a camp draft the day before, and any of the horses purchased at the inaugural sale will be eligible to compete for $34,500 in cash and prizes. Mark’s goal is to restore Kempsey’s reputation as the Town of Horses, established back in 1955 when one of Australia’s bestknown stock horse, Abbey, was born behind the Willawarrin Hotel. “There are 33,000 of Abbey’s descendants registered in the Australian Stock Horse Book, and some took part in the Epic Horse Sale,” Mark said. Australian stock horses are used primarily for station and stock work and camp drafting, while quarter horses were first bred in the USA and used for cutting cattle from the herd. Quarter horses are also bred here now and
are used to do the same work as stock horses. Kempsey Shire Mayor, Liz Campbell, applauded the event, describing it as a significant initiative to restore Kempsey’s reputation as a leading Australian stock and quarter horse destination. “Midcoast Rural Agencies has seen and acted on the opportunity to resurrect the very best of our community’s rural heritage with the inaugural Epic Horse Sale,” she said. “The event also strongly supports Kempsey Shire Council’s economic development effort to build returns from agriculture and use events to attract more visitors.” In fact, Mark hopes to attract up to 150 horses and 600 attendees to next year’s threeday Epic Horse Sale and camp-drafting event. For more information phone Midcoast Rural Agencies on 6562 5131, or email: midcoastruralagencies.com.au and click on Epic Horse Sale.
LOCAL government exists to provide the basic services to residents of the area and meet legislative requirements. The method of meeting the legislation may have multiple options, but should be the most effective for the ratepayer. The waste diversion program is an approved carbon liability offset program with carbon credits generated returning approximately $1 million dollars over the next few years. This return requires little to no additional effort or investment to receive this return; the effort is based on residents sorting their waste. Gas capture is the secondary approach to environmentally friendly practices, but sends the message that it is OK to send waste to landfill, with increased associated costs. The primary approach is to keep biodegradable product out of land fill. Although investing in renewable energies may sound attractive, is this an area that local government should undertake? What expertise and skill does a local council have to experiment? Consultants are advising not to be involved in alternate energy options which do not have a three- year proven profitability record. Other councils have completed feasibility studies and found that solar was the most viable and council has undertaken solar projects to a number of buildings. The $1 million dollars generated should not be added to the compounding reserves of $209 million or be seen as a cash grab to experiment; council should simply return the money to residents.

Many of the children don’t get contact with large animals and this Check your “ interaction brings awareness to boundaries, thoughts and feelings
“
More than ‘horse play’
STATE MATTERS
With Leslie Williams State Member for Port Macquarie
By SUE PATERICK IT is just after recess at Kempsey’s Melville High School and the noise of hundreds of feet and voices heading off to the next class is deafening, but in the High Support Unit’s leafy playground there is a Zen-like calm. Every Thursday Equine Assistance Therapist, Michelle Wass, and her two white ponies, Sammy and Possum, bring such joy and awareness to the support unit’s students, it never ceases to surprise and delight Michelle and the school’s staff. Sammy and Possum, not always quiet and passive ponies according to Michelle, become as gentle as cotton wool as they nuzzle and kiss the smiling, glowing children. “The connection and relationships the ponies bring to each of the children is amazing,” Michelle said. “Many of the children don’t get contact with large animals and this interaction brings awareness to boundaries, thoughts and feelings.” High Support Unit Teacher, Madeleine Hassan, said the equine assistance therapy increases the children’s interaction with the environment and each other in a way that nothing else does. “It’s astounding,” she said. “Not only is the connection with the ponies so valuable, it is the interaction and ability to take that experience back to the classroom and develop literacy and language skills.” As part of this program Michelle also offers sessions with mainstream students who are disengaged, having problems, or come from disconnected, troubled and traumatic backgrounds. Some are invited to help in her work with the High Support Unit each week. “It helps boost their self-esteem, gives them
NO GAP • • • •

Melville High School student, Thomas Hughes, sharing a tender moment with Possum, as Equine Assistance Therapist, Michelle Wass, watches on in continued amazement leadership skills, and a connection,” she said. Based on Gestalt Psychotherapy, these tender moments between horses and humans also teach the children mindfulness and being in the present moment. This growing therapy also helps people with trauma, depression, dementia and Alzheimer’s. “It helps people find their own wisdom for healing and self-development,” Michelle added. According to Gestalt Therapy Australia, Gestalt is German for wholeness and the therapy has a here-and-now focus that promotes awareness of the world and relationships to others. Meg Kirby, founder of Australia’s Equine Psychotherapy Institute, took her inspiration from the Gestalt Equine Institute in the USA’s Rocky Mountains, where horses became teachers of self-awareness because they are alert, intuitive, emotional and authentic animals. Michelle has been motivated to study equine
assistance therapy from Meg Kirby’s model after working in her riding school and seeing the impact an equine connection can have. Apart from changing the lives of students and staff at Melville High, Michelle and her ponies also visit Kempsey Vocational College and she hopes to bring her equine therapy to aged care and other schools in the area. “I love bringing the beauty of equine to people,” she said. Apart from being a qualified Equine Assistance Therapist, Michelle is also a horse-riding instructor with over 38-years of experience. She has eight horses at her Collombatti property, Hoofbeat Farm, where clients are offered sessions with her beautiful herd. For more information about Michelle and her remarkable horses, email xtrailshell@hotmail. com or phone 0408 459 647.
COMMUNITY urged to update smoke alarms: With winter almost upon us, local residents are reminded to replace their smoke alarms. This month marks the 10th anniversary since smoke alarms became compulsory in NSW homes. Smoke alarms need to be replaced at least every 10 years because of dust, humidity and age, so many alarms are now reaching their ‘best before’ date. In NSW, all dwellings where people sleep must have at least one working smoke alarm per level. FRNSW recommends having smoke alarms installed in all bedrooms for maximum protection. A working smoke alarm gives you vital seconds to get out before you’re overcome. But remember, only working smoke alarms help save lives which is why alarms connected to the home’s wiring, or with 10-year lithium batteries are recommended. If you need help checking or replacing the battery in your smoke alarm, contact your local fire station and ask about the Smoke Alarm and Battery Replacement (SABRE) program for seniors and people with disabilities. Encouraging Maths and Science at School: I welcome moves to engage younger students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects by training future primary school teachers as science and maths specialists. Primary teachers are currently trained as generalists in a range of subjects. From this year in a NSW first, student teachers from at least three NSW universities can become STEM specialists by electing to study additional maths and science courses. This is a great initiative which will help give young students more confidence in maths and science, so they’re better prepared for high school. Employers want workers that are skilled in maths and science, so we want to give our students the confidence to study these subjects at their highest possible level. The new primary teaching course requirements were developed by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) in consultation with teachers, teacher educators and the education sector. The first group of graduates with a specialisation in maths and science will be eligible to teach in NSW schools from the end of 2017.

Rail fight is still on track By CHRISTINA PARKIN
All geared up for the Fire Station Open Day at Port Macquarie this weekend are (from left) fire fighters Darryl Bleasdale and Andrew Fullerton, Captain Damien Buchtmann, station officer Shane Malagre, fire fighters Nathan Goodsell and Emma Parke
Meet your friendly ‘Firie’ By CHRISTINA PARKIN
THE 2016 Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Fire Station Open Day will take place this Saturday (May 21). Fire Stations across the state will be open from 10am to 2pm giving NSW residents, especially children, a chance to meet their local firefighters, and see fire engines and firefighting equipment up close. Heading into winter, Fire Station Open Day is also a great opportunity to learn more about fire prevention. “It’s all about engaging with the local community and demystifying a lot about what we do and why,” says Captain Damian Buchtmann of the Port Macquarie Fire and Rescue Station. “It’s also good for the kids to know fire
fighters are friendly and that they can talk to them, especially if they might turn up at their home with the apparatus.” A range of free activities will be on offer including firefighting demonstrations, station tours and fire safety presentations, including advice about installing smoke alarms, changing smoke alarm batteries and preparing a home fire escape plan. “Developing a home fire escape plan is about working with the family to identify two means of leaving a house and deciding on a safe meeting place, such as the letter box,” explained Captain Buchtmann. “So we’d like to encourage families to bring along their smoke detectors, especially if they have had them close to 10 years, and any questions about evacuation plans.” More info at: www.fire.nsw.gov.au
LOCAL petition organisers fighting for the reinstatement of staffing at regional rail stations have not hung up the gloves – yet. Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey last week welcomed the news from Transport Minister, Andrew Constance, that NSW Trainlink will continue to staff Macksville and Nambucca Heads Stations and all trains will continue to be met by staff at Kempsey and Wauchope. “Customers can be reassured that we will be maintaining a staff presence at the four major stations in Oxley and all arriving and departing trains at Kempsey and Wauchope will continue to be met by a staff member to assist passengers,” Ms Pavey said. “There was a very clear message from my constituents that they wanted stations to be manned around arrival and departure times, especially at night where security was a major concern in Kempsey and Wauchope.” Petitioners Colleen Carmody and Sandra Wilson welcomed the news that trains will be met by Trainlink staff. “We think it is very good that trains will be met, but we are still not happy that the current station manager at Wauchope will lose his job and we still have no way of buying tickets at the station,” said Ms Carmody. “You can buy tickets online or by phone or at a local agent who expects an additional fee. “We have close to 9000 signatures and we will continue to collect signatures before travelling down to Sydney in the coming week to present the petition to parliament. “We need in excess of 10,000 signatures to
raise the issue in parliament, so we are hoping to combine all the petitions organised for each station in the mid north coast. “The ticketing issue is still a major concern. Ms Pavey only announced half the story – only the good half.” “I think it is disgraceful as a lot of people do not have computers or the skills to go online,” said Ms Sandra Wilson. “The fight is not quite over.” Your Local Independent has determined that tickets can be purchased by phone by contacting 13 22 32 between 6.30am to 10pm daily and paying by credit card or debit card or you can choose to pay later at any Australia Post Office with Payit@Post. Your ticket can be posted if more than a week away from your journey or you can actually pick up the ticket from train staff once you are on the train.

OUR

KEITH BERGIN
How long have you lived in or around the Hastings? My wife Ruth and I retired mid-2007, and our choice was to live in Port Macquarie. Both of us had pleasant memories of the town and surrounds from past contacts. What do you love most about the Hastings? The things that appeals to us here is the amount of up-to-date medical services, along with the nearness of trees and bushland and the ease of travelling around. Where do you work and what do you love about your work? My community work involves being the Promotions Officer with Port MacquarieHastings Municipal Band. I do not play an instrument, but I have inherited a life-long love of band music - concert and brass alike. I had shared this love in Sydney on a Community Radio station for some 12 years. That prompted me to look up the Town Band in Port Macquarie in January 2008, so I commenced as their Promotions Officer from the beginning of February 2008. What do you do in your spare time? I email information about band concerts to community organisations, churches, retirement villages, schools, and ‘Friends of the Band’ and all local media. I am delighted, and grateful, that over time, this has raised the profile of the town band. What do you like least about your work? I am pleased that I do not have anything I dislike with this community work. How do you start your day? As a Christian, I start each day with a word from the Bible and a prayer time. God became part of my life when I was a teenager. Now that I am in my 80s, I am thankful for this rock-foundation in my life. What is the achievement you are most proud of? In 2009, it was uplifting and inspiring for the band to receive a public accolade of the band as ‘one of Port Macquarie’s most successful cultural institutions’. I am proud of the band’s achievements in winning State C Grade Concert Band Championships in 2013. As Promotions Officer, I am exceedingly proud of the resilience of the band.
LAST week I talked about the 2016 Budget and getting our young people in the Port MacquarieHastings region into work, in whatever way we can. It was heartening to see almost a 1000 school students from Taree to Port Macquarie and across to Kempsey, descend on the Mid Coast Careers Market at the Port Macquarie racecourse. I was invited to address the opening, which had drawn almost 100 training companies, local businesses, government agencies and national companies to exhibit, giving these kids who are on the cusp of making some lifechanging decisions about their future, some vital information and experiences. The students I spoke to were excited and ready to get into the interactive stalls and demonstrations at the Careers Market, which will inform the decisions some of them make at the end of this year. While the employment situation has been steadily improving on the mid north coast, there’s more work to be done. These school students want, and deserve, opportunities. For young people facing barriers to employment, the Federal Government’s $840 million Youth Employment Package will help get them into the workforce, with wage subsidies to businesses and internship programs. Part of the youth package, which aims to get 120,000 young people in work over the next four
THE COWPER REPORT With Luke Hartsuyker
Federal Member for Cowper
years, is an employability skills training course. So many businesses that do take young people on, tell me that these people join their staff without the necessary workplace skills, such as turning up on time, knowing how to dress for the workplace and how to interact with customers. These are skills that many of us take for granted, but sadly for many young people who perhaps have never had anyone work in their household, they may lack them. It was great to see government and private employment organisations such as the North Coast Institute of TAFE, Sarina Russo Job Access, ETC and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council exhibiting at the Mid Coast Job Market, as well as so many local employers, such as Expressway Spares. Expressway Spares and Port MacquarieHastings Council offer traineeships and apprenticeships in a whole range of different vocations.
Roads report a concern AN NRMA report has found that North Coast councils have a backlog of almost $485 million in funding in order to get local roads up to a safe standard. The NRMA report, Funding Local Roads, has analysed the backlog of works reported by 15 local councils in their annual reports. The report has been released to coincide with its Federal Election campaign, Keep Australia Moving, and is encouraging the public to get involved by visiting www. keepaustraliamoving.com While the backlog for North Coast councils has reportedly halved since the NRMA last conducted this analysis for the 2013-14 financial year ($949 million), the $485 million funding shortfall required to make local roads safe is still a big challenge. The NRMA report identified over $1.7 billion (2014/15) in council backlog for road infrastructure across NSW. Port Macquarie Hastings Council ($91 million) and Lismore Council ($88 million) recorded the highest backlogs of funding of all councils across New South Wales. In this year’s Federal Budget funding for councils to improve the safety of local roads has been maintained through the Roads to Recovery and Blackspot programs, with funding increases forecast in the coming years. Revenue from the fuel excise has increased by $800 million to $15.7 billion. If the Roads to Recovery funding announced in this month’s Federal Budget is maintained the backlog would not be met until 2027.
Lame ducks aplenty in political pond my
IN January 1863, the Congressional Globe of United States Congress asserted the Court of Claims was a receptacle of lame ducks, or broken down politicians. This was one of the first, and one of many, uses of the expression ‘lame duck’. A ‘lame duck’ in this context is a politician who has passed his use-by date or who is no longer effective. You might hear a lot of the expression during the Australian election campaign. I have heard it time and time again since I was a little boy - and that was a long time ago. But the term ‘lame duck’ can also have other uses. It is generally reserved for a politician who cannot make important decisions because he is about to retire. However, if one side of politics, especially in Australia, can call a politician from the other side a ‘lame duck’, don’t let an election get in the way. The expression is said to be from the United States, referring to a politician who is not standing for re-election. But it can also refer to a ship that is damaged without a means of propulsion. It can also refer to an industry that cannot survive without financial help or to a disabled person who moves about with difficulty. I must say I have only ever heard it used, in Australia, in the political sense.
LAURIE BARBER
‘The Economist’ in 1972 said a lame duck industry was one that could not survive without a government subsidy. The ‘Times’ referred to a board of a company having a rethink because the government refused to help. N Balchin in ‘Small Back Room’ said it was dangerous having to ‘lame duck it home alone’. According to John Ayto, ‘lamon’ in prehistoric Germanic meant ‘weak limbed’ and it developed to mean something like ‘paralysed’. Lam, or hitting somebody, seems to have developed from lame. Collins dictionary refers to a lame horse or weak arguments. Websters said ‘lame duck’ refers to a politician who is ‘weak or ineffectual or one who is about to retire and cannot make important decisions’. But Websters also talks about a speculator in stocks who has lost ‘a considerable amount of money’ or an aircraft which is disabled.
So far as the stock market is concerned, we have bulls, bears and lame ducks. Many of us would consider ourselves as ‘lame ducks’. The dictionaries include many entries under lame. For instance, they include a small piece of metal, a socially unsophisticated person, a silk material interwoven with metallic threads, a crippled person, some trees and some arguments. They also include ‘lame brain’ (a stupid person), and ‘lame born’ (a crippled person). In this age of political correctness, we have found a better description for those who suffer some deformity that hinders their progress. But why duck? I can only assume that a person or industry with no money was open to a predator. The first use of the word, meaning a ‘defaulter’, came in 1761, but in 1771 David Garrick said ‘waddle out like lame ducks’. In 1806 Maurice Beresford referred to the stock market settling day ‘amidst the quack of ducks, the bellowing of bulls and the growls of bears’. Some time ago I mentioned this column had received letters from London and California. I forgot Froggy Worden from Fort Worth, Texas. He was a regular correspondent to this column, even including his photograph. Then his letters suddenly stopped. lauriebarber.com; lbword@midcoast.com.au

The Sheik here for his own fundraiser By LIZZIE McLEOD
‘THE Sheik of Scrubby Creek’ is making a special trip to Wauchope on Saturday night (May 21) to be part of his own fundraiser. Local entertainer Marcia Arnfield was rapt to make a late addition – and add Chad Morgan to her ‘guest list‘ for the event at the Wauchope RSL. Marcia had originally planned the night of entertainment to help raise funds for a bronze bust of the Australian country music icon, to be placed in Australia’s country music capital, Tamworth. However she was told Chad could not make it because of a prior commitment. However this week those plans changed and an excited Marcia contacted Your Local Independent to ‘add Chad’. “We are so excited,” she said. “When Chad
heard we were putting on the night to help raise money for his stature he said ‘of course I will be there’! “And he said he would be singing as well.” Chad will now be the centre-piece to a quality list of singers. “Everything is organised for the night,” said Marcia. “I had already lined up the artists, including Ron Smythe from Kempsey, who is friends with Chad.” Chad’s son Allan will be performing along with John Battle, Greg Baine, Michael Clare, Peter Wells, Mick Myles, as well as Marcia herself, who is a member of the Hastings Country Music Club and has just released a new CD. Chad Morgan is one of Australia’s most loved and durable entertainers, having performed from pubs in outback Australia to the stage of the
Sydney Opera House. The late Slim Dusty spoke of Chad Morgan as: “The clown prince of Australian country music.” “Chad is based in Tamworth, but has many friends up this way,” said Marcia. “When I heard of fundraising for ‘the bust’ I thought I could put a show on in Wauchope and I know there’s a lot of country music fans down here that know Chad and love his singing. “Because I know Chad Morgan and his son and family I just wanted to put a fundraiser on to help out.” The statue will be in the Bicentennial Park in Tamworth and is likely to be unveiled early next year. Tamworth is already home to other bronze busts of country music legends and soon Chad

Morgan’s will forever sit amongst them. Originally from Wondai, in Queensland, Chad was the first person to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Country Music Association of Australia. He has also been awarded the Tamworth Hands of Fame 1979, became a member of the Roll of Renown in 1987, received the Kempsey Living Legend Award in 2002, and the Order of Australia Medal in 2004. This is the perfect opportunity to give something back to the legendary Australian country music singer. The event is on Saturday night (May 21) at the Wauchope RSL from 7.30pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. There will also be a raffle on the night.

PORT Macquarie’s Rotary Lodge has been a vital facility providing accommodation for patients who are undergoing treatment at Port Macquarie Base Hospital and their relatives and carers. For the past 20 years the accommodation buildings adjacent to the hospital have been built in stages utilising funds predominately raised by community donations. Through the week I announced with Cowper MP, Luke Hartsuyker, $7000 in funding to Rotary Lodge under the Australian Government’s Stronger Communities Program to upgrade Rotary Lodge’s upstairs communal kitchen. Patients and their families receiving treatments at the Cancer Centre and relatives of surgical patients and Accident and Emergency admissions usually live some distance away and so Rotary Lodge is essentially a home away from home. The renovation of the existing communal kitchen will ensure that clients are able to regularly prepare suitable meals rather than rely on take away or frozen meals. The design of the renovated kitchen includes many features that will assist those who have mobility issues including easy wheelchair access to the toasters and microwaves in addition to more space around all of the facilities and storage areas. Also through the week, we announced $17,754 in Federal funding towards Port Macquarie’s Tacking Point Lions Club project for an ‘All Abilities’ Picnic and Activities area at the northern end of Lighthouse Beach on Matthew Flinders Drive. The $36,000 project will involve the construction of covered pavilions with accessible seating and code-compliant pathways. This will enable easy access throughout the area and greater activation of this wonderful community asset. I understand a barbeque area is planned, however, the barbeque area is subject to final council approval. The Lions Club is hopeful this upgraded recreational area will be utilised by families, mother’s groups, community groups and even visitors to the area as a local beach side meeting place for social occasions and family friendly picnics by the beach. The Lions Club of Tacking Point is to be congratulated on this worthwhile project. I am sure many people throughout Lighthouse and all of Port Macquarie will welcome the new facilities this project will provide and further activate this beautiful space.

HEALTHY
Aussie diets lacking in dairy, vegetables NEW data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics from the Australian Health Survey (AHS) has revealed that vegetables and dairy are the top two food groups lacking in Australians’ diets with more than 96% not eating enough vegetables and legumes, and 90% not having enough milk, cheese and yoghurt for optimal health. These concerning statistics have prompted Dairy Australia and AUSVEG to unite to urge Australians to double their intake of vegetables and add an extra serve of dairy to their diet. Women aged over 50 years are most likely to be putting their health at risk by not eating enough dairy, with only 1 in 1000 meeting the recommended 4 serves. Good nutrition is vital to the healthy development of children, however less than 1% of children are getting enough vegetables. Emma Glassenbury, Accredited Practicing Dietitian at Dairy Australia said: “We are also deeply concerned about the development of Australian children and adolescents, the AHS data shows that less than 10% of children aged 9-11 years and less than 2% of adolescents are meeting the recommended dairy serves.” Lucinda Hancock, Accredited Nutritionist at Nutrition Australia said: “Australians are not meeting the recommended serves across all five healthy food groups. We know that consumers are overloaded with confusing information about nutrition, but the solution is simple, we need to be eating less ‘junk food’ and more from the five food groups – particularly vegetables, legumes, milk, yoghurt and cheese. “Dairy and vegetables are both very versatile types of foods. They can be enjoyed in many different ways.”
The AHS is the largest and most comprehensive health survey in Australia. For the first time it compares food consumption against the Australian Dietary Guidelines. The guidelines contain recommendations directly linked with reducing the risk of common and serious health conditions. Shaun Lindhe, AUSVEG spokesperson said: “Only 4% of the population is getting enough vegetables. We want to urge parents to reconsider their children’s vegetable intake, with 99% of children aged 2-18 years not meeting the recommended serves. The AHS has found that on average Australians are only eating 2.7 serves of vegetables or legumes a day, however the Australian Dietary Guidelines recommends an adult eats between five to six serves each day. “Many people don’t know the size or number of serves they should be consuming. One serve of vegetables is equivalent to half a cup of cooked vegetables, half a medium potato, or one cup of salad vegetables.” Ms Glassenbury says: “Most people know that adequate consumption of milk, cheese and yoghurt is critical to bone health, but the Australian Dietary Guidelines also link dairy foods to reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension and type 2 diabetes. “Despite the mounting evidence demonstrating the health benefits of dairy, nine out of ten of Australians are not consuming enough to meet the Australian Dietary Guidelines.” Only 1 in 200 girls aged 14-18 years are meeting their serve recommendations. Teenage girls should be consuming 3.5 serves of dairy a day, for example a cup of milk, 3/4 cups of yoghurt, 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese and one slice of hard cheese,”
AUSTRALIA has one of the highest rates of food allergy in the world and the incidence is increasing at an alarming rate. This Food Allergy Week (May 15-21), Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA) is calling on local residents to help raise awareness about the importance of understanding the potentially lifethreatening condition. Maria Said, President of A&AA explains that the incidence of food allergy is increasing at an alarming rate and requires urgent community support. “Hospital admission rates for severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) have doubled over the
past decade in Australia. For children aged 0 to 4, the rates are even higher, increasing five-fold in the same period. “Today, one in 10 babies born in Australia will develop a food allergy. And, it is estimated that there are approximately 30,000 new cases of food allergy each year.” A&AA is calling on the community to get involved and work together to prevent another life needlessly being lost to food allergy. More information is also available on the Food Allergy Week website: www.foodallergyaware. com.au

IF you think the female population of Port Macquarie has suddenly surged, you wouldn’t be far wrong. The 87th Women’s Bowls State Carnival is coming to the Port Macquarie City Bowling Club next Monday, May 23, for five exciting days of bowls. The event is sponsored by Domina BCiB (general and bowling club insurance brokers), Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and Port City Bowling Club. The other venues hosting the games in addition to the host club - Port Macquarie City Bowling Club, will be Lake Cathie, North Haven, Hibbard Sports Club, Wauchope Country Club, Westport and Kew Country Club. There will be 262 teams entered and 1048 players taking to the greens, with the opportunity to catch up with friends met from past years, meet new friends and play some great bowls. The first three days will see a format of sectional play where either 12 or 14 sections play two rounds of 18 ends daily. On Thursday, there will be post-sectional play-offs on a knock-out principle where three games of 13 ends will be played. Friday will see the carnival conclude with the semi-final, third and fourth play-off of 18 ends, commencing at 9am at Port City Bowling Club.

BOWLS
bowls bonanza BEAUTIFUL ' ''N'
History: Originally known as the New South Wales Ladies’ Bowling Association, the inaugural meeting in 1929 with five clubs saw a further seven clubs join and the official number of members at 216. In 2014, Women’s Bowls NSW (WBNSW) has more than 21,500 members from 488 women’s bowling clubs around NSW. In 1934, the first ‘uniform code’ was established, with all women to wear either white or cream, with no colour of any description in their attire. In 1945 this was extended to read: white dresses, long sleeves (length of dress 13 inches from ground), white hats – closed crown and brim – flat soled shoes, no coloured buttons, handkerchiefs, ornaments, earrings or dusters. Eye shadow could be worn under hats, white stockings on all occasions. Only a white or navy
blue handbag may be used. Today, bowling uniforms come in all different colours. Women are entitled to wear pants, shorts, dresses, skorts or skirts, hats are optional and white is barely seen on the green. While the large portion of WBNSW’s membership today is made up of women over 60, the State has strong representation at junior levels, winning both the boys and girls overall titles at the 2013 Australian Under-18 Championships. The NSW senior women’s side is particularly strong, with four current Australian Jackaroos – Karen Murphy, Claire Turley, Kelsey Cottrell and Natasha Scott – and six further Australian squad members. At 39, Murphy is the eldest woman in the current Australian team and is NSW’s most decorated female bowler.
THE Camden Haven residents have had the pleasure and convenience of shopping locally for their footwear for years. Now under new management, Bowls n Beautiful is carrying a great range of bowls’ clothing, footwear and accessories with the intention of growing the range of these products to cater for the bowlers and visitors to not only the Camden Haven but from Port Macquarie to Harrington. With the May Ladies Carnival approaching Bowls n Beautiful will be taking a range of stock to the North Haven Bowling Club on Tuesday, May 24 from between 8am to 2pm giving bowlers the opportunity to purchase goods at
great prices and a ‘try before you buy’ - unlike online shopping. Not only are there bowls’ products instore but a beautiful range of ladies footwear, orthotic friendly shoes, ‘New Balance’ men’s and ladies sports shoes, slippers and ugg boots for winter plus kids shoes, joggers, gum boots and novelty slippers. Pop into Bowls n Beautiful, 69 Bold Street in the heart of Laurieton from Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and on Saturday 9am to 1pm, although later trading can be organised with a phone call. You can contact them on 6559 5333 or find them on Facebook.

Enterta nment WEEKLY
Focus on female composers AUSTRALIAN women composers will be recognised in a Kendall PhiloMusica Concert this weekend. Pianist and academic scholar Dr Jeanell Carrigan has recently been researching and uncovering the life and music of some of Australia’s most remarkable women who created music against the tide. Dr Carrigan will present her findings in a concert performance with up and coming star soprano Julie Paik and clarinettist Nattanan Low. “The composer Alfred Hill once remarked that as new music becomes old, only good and bad music remain,” said Dr Carrigan. “This remark seems in stark contrast to the fact that the good music by Australian women composers who were born more than 100 years ago is still not recognised today. I want to address this and I am excited to present some, largely unknown, but fabulous music to the Kendall audience.” The performance will include the works
of Margaret Sutherland, Dulcie Holland, Una Bourne, Meta Overman, Peggy Glanville Hicks, Kitty Parker and Esther Rofe. “These women were simply astounding in their resilience, creativity and imagination - they all composed against the tide,” Dr Carrigan said. The Kendall PhiloMusica Concert will be held on Sunday (May 22) at 2pm at the Kendall School of Arts in Kendall. There will also be a pre-concert talk at 11.30am by Dr Carrigan. Tickets for the concert are $30 and can be purchased through Mavis Barnes 02-6559 4339, PO Box 86, Kendall NSW 2439 or at the door. Profits from the PhiloMusica series benefit the Kendall National Violin Competition. For the full list of PhiloMusica dates and events in 2016 see www.pentimento-northhaven. com For further information contact Goetz Richter on 0404 407 686.
SYDNEY’S sublime six-piece ensemble ‘Chaika’ will be playing in Wauchope as part of an East Coast Tour. The musicians, who take their name from the Bulgarian word ‘seagull’, combine four female and two male voices with clarinet, violin, piano, accordion, double bass, guitar, and percussion, proceeding past the genre of folk and jazz, reinventing classical music. Bringing together a sound described as ‘deeply touching and meditative’ along with ‘exuberant, virtuosic and uplifting’, Chaika performs exclusively original compositions and re-imaginings of traditional songs. Their influence stems from contemporary
jazz to the tones of south-eastern Europe. Chaika includes Emily-Rose Sarkova on piano accordion, piano, and vocals, Laura Bishop on percussion, piano, and vocals, Susie Bishop on violin, vocals, and guitar, Laura Altman on clarinet and vocals, Johan Delin on double bass and vocals, and Rendra Freestone on percussion, vocals, and guitar. Chaika will perform on May 21 at the Wauchope Community Arts Hall. Doors open at 7.30pm and tickets cost $25 or $20 for members.

Allowance (Other) payment for two years, on average they will remain on a working-age payment for another five to six years. Alternatively, the first three months have been shown to be the hardest for school leavers once they are in employment, and the longer they stay employed, there is a reduced risk of long-term welfare dependency. The Federal Government hopes to support more young people into work to improve their well-being while also helping to reduce the costs of longterm welfare dependency. Mid Coast Connect, which has offices in Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Taree, already operates a ‘School Leaver Support Program’, through the state-funded Regional VET Pathways initiative. “I’d encourage any school leaver needing our support to register at our website www. midcoastconnect.com.au/ school-leaver-support.php and we can be a starting point or refer them to appropriate services to help them”, says Ms Fraser.

FOR the mid north coast with a youth unemployment rate of three times that for adults, a new strategy announced in the Federal Budget to alleviate this problem is very welcome. The government’s Youth Jobs PaTH ( P r e p a r e - Tr i a l - H i r e ) Program is designed to help young job seekers to move off welfare and into employment. “However, the devil is in the detail, but youth need all the support they can get,” says Mid Coast Connect Executive Officer, Jenny Fraser. “I like the focus on getting them ‘job ready’, and for the youth to get an opportunity to get practical on-the-job experience is really important, but it only caters for 30,000 youth per year for four years over all Australia. “I also feel the fact that there is an incentive for employers for taking them on is justified, as youth are often not productive initially and need more supervising so the business payment helps to compensate them for this. “Although there are criticisms around ‘letting them go’ after the internship, I hope there will be enough checks and balances to avoid these issues.” Studies have shown that if a person stays on a Newstart or Youth

THE concept of listening to a book, rather than reading it, may be new to many, but it is becoming increasingly popular. Audiobooks are a great way to keep up with the latest bestseller or a favourite book on long car journeys, during periods of convalescence, or simply when relaxing before bedtime. Many older adults also enjoy audiobooks as they are unable to manage the physical weight of the traditional book format. Recognising this demand, Kempsey Library and its partner library service Port Macquarie-Hastings Library has acquired access to BorrowBox, a new online library collection which offers library members an exciting new range of downloadable audio books via a very simple download process.

level and 2 at regional level. Mitchell’s training regime for his swimming squad is 7km twice a day so his efforts have really paid off. Kayle, also a keen nipper and surfer with the Port Macquarie Surf Life Saving Club, has joined Mitchell to compete at the PSSA carnivals four times now. Tom Moreton, who has attended the swimming club at Port Macquarie pool for the past five years is also a nipper with the Port Macquarie Surf Life Saving Club. Jackson O’Rourke has also competed at state level for the Surf Life Saving titles in the board race and came 4th. Hastings Public School sports teacher, Mr Mark Taylor, commended the boys for their efforts. “To qualify for one of these event at this level is an achievement, but to qualify for six is extraordinary and we are so proud of them all.”

WANT to know what the ultimate team sport is? Dragon Boat racing is the ultimate team sport because you have 20 paddlers powering the boat in unison, following the rate and intensity of the leading paddlers at the front – the ‘strokes’. Great for aerobic and cardiovascular fitness, persons of all fitness levels can find that their fitness will improve even after a few weeks. Those with past sports injuries usually find that paddling can accommodate most physical injury constraints. It is often claimed that it’s the best fitness you can get get sitting down! The common perception among men is that dragon boating is a women’s sport but nothing could be further from the truth. This ancient Chinese sport was identified in Canada as a recovery exercise for women recovering from breast cancer, yet it is a sport with thousands of participants acknowledging that one of its main characteristics is ‘competition without aggression’. Club coach, Andrew Blundell, was asked what was his best result from paddling, to
which he responded: “I found me a wife! “I’ve lost more than 20kg and achieved a level of fitness that has seen me win gold medals at State and National level. “It’s a good place to meet people. I had moved from Canberra and a colleague encouraged me to come along. “The sport gives me a good work-life balance and helps take away the stresses from my job.” Flamin’ Dragons Port Macquarie is a club that caters for men and women of all ages, levels of fitness and degrees of competitiveness and they are keen to add to their group of men to further build both their competition and recreational teams. Come along and give it a try (you will be quickly addicted). Paddling sessions are spread over five days each week, but for new members the main commencement training day is Saturdays at 6.30am for 7am at the Westport Park marina on Park Street. For further information check out www. flamindragonsportmacquarie.org.au
Coaches David Pees and Andrew Blundell would like to encourage more men to join the Flamin’ Dragons dragon boating team

footytips
Let’s see who is ‘on’ in Rd 11 WELL we just scraped through with a pass mark in our NRL tips last weekend. Just four from eight. As we all know, the difficulty in tipping is trying to judge when a team is ‘on’ or ‘off’. Last weekend the Dragons, Rabbits, Panthers and Titans were definitely ‘on’. As we have spoken about previously, the most frustrating teams are ones like the Warriors. When they are ‘on’ they will be the equal of any team in the comp. But they are seldom ‘on’ – as was the case last weekend when they fell to Penrith. Also, luck will always play a role in any sporting result. Last weekend the Raiders, Eels and Cowboys could all be considered ‘unlucky’ not to have come away with wins – which would have turned our 4 into a 7! Another pitfall or positive for tipsters is always leaning towards your ‘favoured’ teams. Everyone has the team they barrack for, but there are also several other sides who most league fans have a soft spot for. So when trying to decide who to tip, many will go for their favourites. Round 11 has a number of the usual challenges – so let’s get the ball into play: Rabbitohs v Dragons (Thurs, May 19, 7.50pm, ANZ Stadium, Sydney): Hard to put a form line on these two. The Dragons won their Round Three encounter 8-6, but have been inconsistent. The Rabbitohs promised early, but with playmaker Reynolds sidelined went off the rails. He is back and they have improved enough to beat the Eels last weekend. The Dragons are just in the eight, but tipping on potential (which is dangerous), we will have to go with Rusty’s boys. • Your Local Independent tips: Rabbitohs Cowboys v Broncos (Fri, May 20, 7.50pm, 1300 Smiles Stadium, Townsville): No prizes for suggesting this will be a tough one. We will have to go for the Cows because of the home
have lost all credibility with the tipsters with their inconsistency. The Raiders are genuine top eight performers and although the bookies have the NZers as slight early favourites, that is not how this will go. • Your Local Independent tips: Raiders Sharks v Sea Eagles (Saturday, May 21, 7.30pm, Southern Cross Stadium, Cronulla): The Sharks are certainly putting in a very good argument for consideration as genuine premiership contenders. However one of their two losses this year was to Manly (Round 3). But they have come along a great deal since then. They are also at home, which is a plus. The only concern will be resting on their laurels after smashing the Knights. • Your Local Independent tips: Sharks Panthers v Titans (Sunday, May 22, 2pm, Pepper Stadium, Penrith): Ticklish one. The Panthers should win this, but the Titans continue to surprise. They comfortably accounted for a revitalised Roosters on Monday night and can
advantage. But no guarantees. Their Round 4 clash was a 21-20 nail-biter. That was at Suncorp. There is no doubt the Cows are even tougher at home. The Master Coach Wayne Bennett will no doubt be working on a formula to bring a frown to Smiles Stadium. • Your Local Independent tips: Cowboys Tigers v Knights (Saturday, May 21, 3pm, Campbelltown Stadium, Sydney): The Knights’ only win this season was against the Tigers in Round 6, but they have since had some big scores against them. There is plenty of pride in this club, but even that was lacking last weekend when they were trampled 62-0 by the Sharks. No doubt Newcastle will be seeking some sort of redemption, but the Tigers are at home and should have enough skill to take out this one. • Your Local Independent tips: Tigers Warriors v Raiders (Saturday, May 21, 5.30pm, Yarrow Stadium, Taranaki, NZ): A home game for the Warriors at Taranaki, but they

spoil any party. Penrith, although consistent, still are not convincing. The nose says an upset. • Your Local Independent tips: Titans Bulldogs v Roosters (Sunday, May 22, 4pm, ANZ Stadium, Sydney): When the Bulldogs smell blood it can get messy and that is the scenario here. The Roosters are trying to regroup after an ordinary start. With Pearce back they have looked better, but then were ordinary against the Titans. They will still be ‘groggy’ from that stoush and the Dogs will put them away. • Your Local Independent tips: Bulldogs Eels v Storm (Monday, May 23, 7pm, Pirtek Stadium, Parramatta): Very hard to tip against the Storm. Last week Your Local Independent suggested to stay on the Eels, who would be hungry to show they can still make the finals. But a close loss to the Rabbits would have them deflated. • Your Local Independent tips: Storm
